I know I firmly vowed to try to keep from ringing the alarm clock of reality, but I can't resist after reading the morning papers.... After the most important front page story of the day George Clooney's marriage,  I finally worked my way back to page 6 and the story of the beheading in Oklahoma of a American woman by a Islamic Terrorist... I urge all to read my post on this subject, and then wonder if they are the writings of an ''Old fear mongering curmudgeon'' or the prophetic urgent callings of a deeply concerned ''Old fashioned love of country American'' I love Iona basketball and look forward to its season, but If I had one wish it would be the awaking to the bugles to all those who refuse to heed the call to battle, or should I refer to it as ''Work place violence''.....  I rage when I read reports of 200 night and with warnings of face saving Air Raids this past month, when I remember well the never ending blackened sky of our bombers roaring overhead on their way to the utter destruction of a recognized hated enemy.... 30,000 terrorist with makeshift equipment are allowed to spill their poison, when there was a time that on a well defended island 125,000 well trained, equipped and entrenched enemy troops were destroyed almost to the man in a few months... Did I disrupt your morning...? |

OT we put together a coalition of Arab states and we  're bombing their sites, what more should we do about this at this point?[/quote] Ctbill.....Enjoy your basketball postings, but when it come to this discussion, your knowledge as to History, world affairs and its politics reveals a naivete that seems to be more and more prevalent... For your information those scattering of Arab states you refer have contributed only a total of about a dozen of older model planes that took to the skies in a few pin prick bombing raids that were designed to deceive the American Public...Their combined effort is less then negligible...The film you see over and over again of bombs hitting a small square structure is pure political propaganda.... Your question ''What more can we do about this at this point'' is so obvious it defies answer.... I do not like to be drawn into this type discussion as my nature is to contest... On a less serious note........5 more days to awaited practice........ |

Come on OT, you're supposed to be over in Iraq, finding those weapons of mass destruction, and we're waiting on your report. (Smiley Face)

Come on OT, you're supposed to be over in Iraq, finding those weapons of mass destruction, and we're waiting on your report. (Smiley Face)[/quote] 59...There are not as far that is known any 'Weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq.....Iran is another story...They will in another 6-8 months have enough Nuclear fusion material to make them...As their very beings and vow is to destroy all Jewish people, unless Obama's mind set changes the Israel people will be forced to go it alone and destroy the threat before it destroys them...This can occur at any time depending on Israel's excellent information gathering... The near east is a festering boil which at any moment can burst and bring world wide turmoil. No amount of 'Burying your head in the sand' or wishful thinking will change that... I would much rather be concerned with Iona and the upcoming season, but I have that feeling that I have been there before as ''The only thing new, is the history you don't know''........  |

My aide arrived from Ghana 10 years ago with her husband and 4 sons...Of the 4 sons, 3 of which have already graduated from College with the last one starting his first College year...They all our Church attending young men without a blemish of any kind...She has never asked or received Government
assistance...She wakes at 5 am, takes 2 or 3 busses and arrives sharply at my home at 7:30 AM without fail to her 10-12 hour work day...Her husband has two jobs often going from one to another without a break...
After listening with me to the morning news with stories of....Ebola arriving to this country and subsequent search for all family members and others that may have come in contact, Obama announces that he will send 3,000 service members into the hornets nest of infected Africa, while ISIS have arrived at the door steps of Baghdad ...
Followed by stories of security breeches at the White House, a convicted Police killer getting invited to a college to give the commencement speech...And the utter lies, denials and inefficiency of Obama's regime...
Bewildered my Aide turned to me and asked..."Tommy, what's wrong with this country''??

This mornings newspaper reading......
Another headline story of scandal and its cover up strikes the Obama regime and White House...
I will not be around, but to those young enough will be amazed at the stories and scandals that will be revealed in the near future years...It will be a field day that will shock America with the bewilderment of ''How was this allowed to happen''
Skip the pages that are just now to beginning uncovering the political corruption that occurred in the best interest of the ''Party'', and not in the best interest of our ''country'' if you must but you will have to live with the embarrassment and damage of its history...
My time is short, but I pray for the awakening of the past American courage, spirit, morality, care, ambition, and the riddance of the selfish ''Self satisfaction'' and 'Dependency'' attitude that now prevails....
Yeah I know...there goes the Oldtimer again...

OT.....Why are you still reading newspapers from September 2008...Quote St. Louis Gail.
I don't know what that means or its intention...Hard to figure out where you are coming from...I hope you are not justifying political crimes by passage of time.....
''The only thing new is the History you don't know''
By my count there is only 34 days until 1st game...Then we will get back to more serious discussions.... !!!!!!!!!

Why are you still reading newspapers from September 2008? Quote St.Louisgail Has I now know what was intended by your usual one liners..... The latest exposed White House cover up occurred in 2012 and not 2008 as your post would have one believe...Was it for exaggerated purposes or was it purposely designed to enforce your premise? I was reading newspapers as early as 1932. |

Police in Ferguson should move to Westchester. Every year they list the top pensioners, and guess who tops the list?
