Are you part of the 42%? If you are, then you are rightly upset by all the rhetoric coming out of the incumbent’s administration and 
the talking heads on media. If you are not part of the 42%, then consider yourself lucky. For the all of you who are wondering what I am talking about, grab a beer, some popcorn and your calculator and read on…
Oh, and I refuse to use the man’s name when referring to the person occupying the seat of President. I respect the office of the President, as one should. I do not respect the man or his ideology.
Ok… So… Unemployment is at 8.2%. However, 88 MILLION people are not in the work force. Let’s compile some numbers here (according to the CIA World Factbook)…
- US Population: 313.8 million (2012 abstract based on 2010 census and data derived comparing previous census data)
- Population of working age (15-64): 209.2 million
- Population NOT working: 88 million
And what is the “official” unemployment percentage? 8.2%. That means that officially, ONLY 17.2 million people are not working. Hmmmm Does not add up. What is the real percentage based on the numbers above? Well, using the numbers above, you get a percentage of…wait for it…42%. Yes. 42% of people are not in the work force, according to those numbers. And I TRIED to use round numbers of the extrapolated numbers to be as generous as possible, but I am not willing to spin numbers for any reason. I deal in fact, and the fact is our country is a LOT worse off than our government handlers are letting on.
I gotta tell ya, this last week has left my HEAD spinning!

It has been said that, “A lie can travel halfway round the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” It has also been said that the above quote came from Mark Twain. That, in and of itself, may well be a lie as it seems more probable that the quote came from Charles Haddon Spurgeon; but aside from this, what of Spurgeon do we know or, for that matter, care.
It was a thing of beauty yesterday. A Judge, Jerry Smith, from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, one of 3 Judges on that bench, had had enough. Judge Smith had had enough of Obama’s arrogance and his ideology.
While the Obama administration fights for all they’re worth, and that ain’t much, to prevent individual states from enacting voter ID laws, and while at the same time more and more allegations of forgery regarding Obama’s own personal records surfaces due to Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case investigation, voter fraud has taken a front seat in Indiana.
Imagine if one of our allies, during WWII, had let the cat out of the bag regarding D-Day…the date and the location or, leaked our information regarding Midway Island or the Doolittle raid. Imagine it, if you can, the damage that would have been done.
music industry stood with our troops and were seen waving our flag. It’s not that way now.
It was a sunny Monday and I was a Junior at the University of Nebraska. I’ll never forget that day, March 30th, 1981.
