  1. Does anyone know anything about the controversy brewing in the Evansville City Clerk’s race concerning Misty Hart’s military service? Seems she has indictated to some that she’s an Iraq war veteran although she admits she never left Indiana.

  2. Very strange days indeed. Obama and Kerry trying to lift sanctions on Iran and legitimize their nuclear weapons program, while the radical Islamist Iranian’s are boarding cargo ships in the gulf and taking the crews prisoners. Back home, inner-city rioting, looting and arson in Baltimore and Ferguson (for those who don’t want to drive to Baltimore to loot ). Threats to kill white police officers in major cities. Presidential leadership matters, and lack of leadership by the Community Organizer-in-Chief is leading to these crisis.

    • Joe I thought you were a States Right type of guy. You know a Repugnut guy!
      🙂

      The President has already performed his duty on what went on in Ferguson Missouri a while back. You forgot to mention that President Obama’s administration performed a thorough audit of the Ferguson Police Dept and the Mayor and Police Chief and several Police Officers resigned over that and progress was being made. The Governor of Missouri is in charge there not the President. The streets in Ferguson Missouri belong to the Mayor and the city and the State’s Governor needs to call the National Guard Back out if that’s what’s needed to quell the disturbances. Surely you are not TRYING AGAIN to stupidly suggest that the President of the United States get involved and call out the 101st AirBorn Division over something that the Missouri National Guard and the Ferguson Police and County Police can handle themselves?

      And as far as Baltimore Maryland…. the same applied there too.

      So go to be Joe and try not to dream and obsess about the President. It’s not good to have too much stress in your life. You might have a stoke someday if you don’t calm down kiddo! And better prepare yourself for 8 more years of Democratic Rules in the White House when Hillary wins the next Presidential Election. 🙂

  3. Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei sounds just like racial aggitators Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson:

    “WASHINGTON (CBS DC) — The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, is blasting the United States for what he’s calling the country’s “ridiculous” racial inequality and police brutality, labeling the U.S. government a “major enemy to human rights.”

    Addressing the 20th annual General Congress of Law Enforcement Forces (LEF) Commanders and Staff on Sunday, Iran’s Supreme Leader criticized American police, saying their “authority is wrong and oppressive.” Khamenei took to Twitter to rail against U.S. law enforcement who he says utilize “power and tyranny” to “kill innocents” amid ongoing riots over the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore.”

    http://washington.cbslocal.com/2015/04/28/iran-supreme-leader-ridiculous-that-even-though-us-president-is-black-still-such-crimes-against-us-blacks/

    Keep waiting for the Ayatollah to say that if he had a son………

    • Joe. Khamenei’s words about U.S. police could very well have been uttered by our own “dear leader”.
      Or our newly departed U.S. Attorney General.

      • Unfortunately, very true. Maybe that’s why Obama likes the Iranians so much, they also hate real American values.

        • Yep Good ‘ol American values!

          American values like sending a band of CIA thugs to spread lying propaganda. For Instance paying certain Iranians to make claims about Mosaddegh that he was a communist socialist who was going to have Muslims executed Sounds pretty familiar to the claims made about Obama doesn’t it? Good ‘ol American Values!

          Then the CIA hired thugs to vandalize and riot in the streets posing as Mosaddegh supporters so his party would be blamed. Then the CIA spread red scare everywhere until the Iranian people were terrified enough to support the coup of a Democratically elected secular democracy. Sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it?

          Good ‘ol American Values!

          You see Mosaddegh had enough of British and American imperialism and us getting cut rate prices for THEIR oil and kicked them out and nationalized the oil industry. The nerve of this uppity Persian!! Demanding that we pay a fair price for THEIR OIL

          I guess Mosaddegh didn’t get the memo about white people being exalted by JESBUS himself as the chosen one’s who deserve to strip other countries of their natural resources while paying a pittance for them.

          Good “ol American values!

          So we installed the “Pro American” Shah who jail and tortured political opponents and sent thugs to their families homes to have them beaten to a pulp.

          Good ‘ol American values!

          So instead of a democratic secular democracy and ally we have a terrorist nation who hates our ever living guts and sponsors terrorism around the world.

          It would have cost us 1/1000th of what is has cost us in military misadventures to just have paid them a fair price for THEIR oil from the beginning.

          Good ‘ol American values!

          You’ve exposed yourself as an ignoramus regarding pre-1979 American-Iranian relations, but don’t feel bad you’re in the same boat as most ignorant red staters who never left their own county let alone the US.

          So here is a little something for your fellow ignoramuses like Joe the Fake-o Biden and utternonsense

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat#Execution_of_Operation_Ajax

          PS wiki is cited as a beginning point of knowledge not as an all encompassing authority. It is full of footnotes and references, perhaps you should click on one of them and learn something.

          PPS Iran is NOT a isolated incident, in fact we did the above to pretty much every SA country on the map.

          • Brains, Your leaders would be proud of your post. A major holiday is coming up (May 1), maybe they will honor you in the square.

          • Brains
            Without being as in touch with your subject matter as you are:
            I respect your work on this comment.
            Well done, my friend! …

          • Good job Brian. Ignore that little shit cowgirl. She’s got her panties in a wad again. She does that a lot.

            Have a nice day. I know I will.

        • Obama is not hate filled like some of you all. He will trust them and VERIFY that Trust just like Regan did. The trick is to delay the Iranian Atomic Bomb project as long as humanly possible without resorting to starting WWIII. The Russians will help defend Iran and have already shipped new missiles to the Iranians from Russian Factories.

          I’m sure glad that some of you guys are not sitting in the White House as our President and we have a black/white man that ten times smarter than all of you put together. We need smart people dealing with the Iranians not some Fox News Trolls.

  4. Waiting for Apple Computer (Tim Cook), Angie’s List, Eli Lilly, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, NCAA, Hollywood, and all the assorted vermin who loudly condemned and threatened to withhold business from Indiana, to now do the same to Maryland.

    • You need treatment . . . IN was a law which authorized discrimination; MD is a riot based on police brutality and likely murder. Not seeing the link here.

      • And you need to stick to cooking, Chef. Indiana RFRA was NOT a law authorizing discrimination. Cite for us the language in the bill that you say authorizes discrimination.
        Likely murder? That’s part of the link.

        • CS No. You sight us the language that said it would not allow discrimination. You could not do that at first until after they reversed position and made that statement a part of the new law. Gotcha on that one kiddo!

          Have a nice day now.

  5. Iranian guard vessels grab US Flagged Commercial Ship in the Straits of Hormouth and the US does nothing but monitor the situation with air planes. The Republican Guard forced the commercial shipi deeper into Iranian Waters in the area. The US destroyer was notified with a distress signal but was 60 miles away and could not reppond to the event in time.

    I personally think it’s time to blow Iran off the face of the map. I’m sick of them SOB’. PERSIA has to die. They have no respect for the rest of the World and we need to show them who’s the boss in the Middle East.

      • Great post!

        Shoot first and ask questions later, the (UGLY) American way.

        Good ‘ol American values!

        Who cares right? Just plane full of 300 brown people, the lower caste.

        • This was an active war zone during the Iraq/Iranian war that lasted for nearly 10 years. The Iranians had previously fired upon one of the helicopters from the Vincennes that was out on patrol. The Straits of Hormuz has been mined and oil ships that were transiting the straights had been attacked during this war. The USN Vincennes was patrolling the Straights when they though that they were being targeted by what they thought was a Iranian F14. We gave the Shaw of Iran many F14’s for their air force and the Iranians still had these after they attacked our Embassy in Iran and kidnapped all of our US diplomats and held them hostage for almost a year in total. God only knows what those US Diplomats went though So without any diplomatic relations with the Ayatollah and his Iranian Republican Guards making attacks on our ships near the Straights of Hormuz, it was almost inevitable that some thing was going to happen. We apologized for the mistake and paid reparations to the peoples’ families that were killed by the shooting down of that civilian airliner. But one must always remember what it was like back in those days. This was not done intentionally and it was a mistake. We all make mistakes from time to time. This was a pretty big one. But when you consider that on RADAR a F14 and a Commercial Jet that’s flying straight at the US Ship’s radar are hard to tell apart. And even back them the F14 had weapons that radars that could easily have sunk the Vincennes with one missile. It’s a situation where there is little time to make the right decision. And I’m sure that the people on the navy ship were under duress as they had been harassed by multiple Iranian War Ships just hours before the shooting occurred. It takes some time to get the stress hormones out of the blood stream and to calm down after a fight.

      • We paid repartitions already in the USS Vincennes Incident. That was a tragic mistake. And didn’t that happen under the GOP’s watch? I’d bet money that the commander of the naval vessel was a Republican anyway. They won’t let too many Dems into the Naval Academy.

        And your post really didn’t make any sense as to who the heck you were talking too or about. Communicate much?

        • Iran has broken Western International Law many times in the past. The assaulted US Property ( USA Embassy in Teharan Iran back in 1978/79 and held our American Diplomats HOSTAGE for almost a year. Iran sponsors terrorist and terrorist acts all over the world these days. And a nuclear armed Iran sends chills up the spines of many Western and Other world leaders. They do what they do in the Name of their God Allah? Now I”m talking about the religious leaders in Iran not all the people that live there.

          Iran recently stopped and captured a Neutral Party ship of commerce and forced it at gun point to change course and head closer into Iranian territorial waters while the ship was going though the Straights of Hormuz.

          Interesting enough they are also trying to ship arms to the Yemeni’s that are fighting against Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Religious Muslims to control the entrance to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Don’t worry the US Navy will take care of business out there on the high seas and in the Persian Gulf area.

      • Yea the Shaw of Iran was out puppet. But he was OUR puppet. Now there is another Puppet in control of Iran and God only knows what he’s going to do. When it boils down to it in the last of times…. it will be us against them. That’s natures way. There will always be conflicts and the strongest people will come out on the top as we did at the end of WWII and WWI. But when WWIII comes we may not still be around. That’s something to always think about. We need to keep our military strong and have total control over the skies and space in the future or we will be slaves to those that would do us harm and try to control us. The Persians have a long history of controlling others. And they are smart and wise at the same time. We need to deal carefully with them.

  7. http://www.14news.com/story/28931240/bill-to-allow-search-fee-for-indiana-public-records-sent-to-pence

    Another GOP State Bill to fight transparency and make it cost more money to find and see and get public records from the State.

    If it takes over two hours to find the records requested then the requesting party has to pay $20/hr to search for the requested records. How blatantly NON TRANSPARENT is that?

    This reminds me of the laws the GOP passes to make it harder for older people who don’t drive anymore to vote. Voter Suppression. And It makes me wonder why they are after the Schools and what they are doing to try to keep poor people from getting a better education. It’s ok to spend money on the Rich Children who attend CHARTER Schools. It’s ok to give the Rich people money so that they can send their children to a Private school. Vouchers is what they call it these days.

    Brains, Your leaders would be proud of your post. A major holiday is coming up (May 1), maybe they will honor you in the square.
    ==================================================================

    You call me names, make insinuations, and question my families heritage but you don’t say I’m wrong or why?

    Congrats on your rhetorical/debating wizardry.

    • Seems to me, brains, you are the name caller here. Unless you think the word ignoramus is a compliment.
      And you are wrong. Iranian leaders do not want to destroy us because of CIA actions in the 50s. They want to destroy us because we: (a) are not Muslim. (b) we support Israel.

    • Cowboy calling you names should be a compliment. You get under his skin and that’s why he pays so much attention to you. Just ignore him and have fun in here. He’s pretty much harmless. He’s like a mosquito that’s had it’s biting parts take off and all he can do is buzz buzz buzz and try to annoy you. But he’s easily swatted down.

    Thanks Bubba!

    My father is a retired history teacher, so I have a passion for the subject. He taught me REAL American history not just the whitewashed glossed over version.

    Our country has done some truly remarkable and great things, we have also done some truly horrific things.

    As long as we continue to slap ourselves on the back and tell ourselves how great we are and horrible those “other” people are ie confront our dark side, we can never become the great nation we aspire to be.

    • Fantastic reply.

      As long as we are massaged from every corner about how we are never wrong and them “evil doers” are never right, we’ll certainly collapse in bin Laden’s synopsis of, “We cannot beat you militarily but we will bankrupt you with our persistence.”

      The CCO’s infamous Joe Biden and others fall for the bluster and puffed out chests of the Right Wing warmongers only because it fills in a crevice in their manhood they are desperate to fill.

      The adreniline rush of sitting on a computer and watching our $600 billion dollar a year military incinerate people over yonder is just tooooooo much to not root for.

      Iran’s military budget is $17 billion a year. It’s like a 17 year old kid being in a life and death situation with a 600 lb. gorilla. But just like Vietnam, more 17 year old kids are willing to fight and die than 600 lb. gorillas.

      Be careful what you wish for CCO Dick Cheney lights, for a country is a terrible thing to waste…….

      • Regulator. Your solution to savage, worldwide terrorism is—— be nice to them and condemn your own country? Delusional.

        • How in the Hell can I put this;

          Instead of getting nasty and violent responding to you commonsense, I’m going to ask you a question.

          In the Iraq-Iran war, Iraq used chemical weapons against them, (which we gave them,) but Iran refused to reciprocate and didn’t use them.

          Whose side would you be on in that situation?

        • Some times you catch more bees with a little honey than with a fly swatter. Harness the bees and let them make honey for us to eat. The bees don’t normally sting people unless you mess with them or their hive where they raise their young. They are not that much different than most animals. You do your thing and I’ll do mine. The problem with the middle east is that we the West are always trying to control them over there and they don’t like it much. Just as we would not like it if they came over here and tried to control what we do and say.
