8 years of suffering under Barack Obama

The sentence I hear most from well-meaning, conservative friends since President Trump’s election is this: “We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.”

Fair enough. Let’s take a look.

The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled.

General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $8o billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest.

While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11.

Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden.

He drew down the number…

Racism Must Be Crushed…Killed And Permanently Destroyed…From The Outside And From Within!

The never expiring statute of limitations concerning White Nationalism must be permanently crushed along with any symbolic statues of hate. Racism is a tumor that must be totally removed…it is impossible to leave ANY part of it behind because it will continue to metastasize its madness throughout the body and soul of what is supposed to be a civilized nation. 

Smashing symbols of hatred WITHOUT dealing with the very bullshit that built them up in the first place, will serve as nothing but a placebo effect against this demonic insanity. 

 
What good can come from ripping out a poisonous water fountain if the rusted plumbing beneath it remains intact…poised to contaminate yet another generation?

We have witnessed this first-hand with the worthless piece of shit that goes by the name of David Duke. This asshole removed his hood and robe in favor of a fucking business suit, but his hate-filled heart STILL manifests itself with the same racist rhetoric he always publicly espoused. His fucking surgically repaired face should have disappeared from the news long ago, but thanks to The Cheeto-In-Charge and his “advisor” Racist Bannon…”HE’S BACK.”

Donald Chump didn’t invent White Nationalism, but he sure has conveniently embraced it…sucked on it, and allowed himself to be bent over by it…NO VASELINE!!! The rest of U.S. don’t deserved to be FUCKED as a result. ~Daryl 

Anti-gay pastor arrested on 70 counts of child pornography.

The ones that protest homosexuality the most are often involved in this despicable behavior. They will accuse…scream and protest, but THEY are the real demons. They have the audacity to conflate homosexuality with their desire to prey on the most innocent among us.

This is Dave Reynolds, the recently fired pastor of the Cornerstone Bible Fellowship in Sherwood, Arkansas. He’s currently facing 70 counts of distributing, possessing, or viewing child pornography.

Oh, and he’s also vehemently antigay.

The 40-year-old pastor regularly preached that marriage is between a man and a woman and that all homosexual activity is a sin.

He was arrested after police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which claimed that a social media account in Sherwood was storing pages and pages of child pornography.

The account allegedly belonged to Reynolds.

In March, Reynolds informed elders at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship that he was under investigation for child porn possession.

When they asked if he had engaged in viewing the material, Reynolds told them he had “not knowingly done so.”

The elders ultimately…

Prince Practiced Being Famous Long Before He Was Actually Famous and 4 Other Very Prince Stories Told One Year Later

The Iconic Prince

By Dee Lockett, The Vulture, April 21, 2017

Prince Rogers Nelson made a career and lifestyle out of being elusive, which only made our collective desire to know about his personal life even more frenzied. But being guarded also made Prince the source of a bottomless reservoir of tales of his mythology that has somehow yet to run dry. At last month’s SXSW, a few close collaborators of Prince’s reunited to celebrate his legacy at both a tribute concert and panel. Two members of Prince’s earliest bands, Grand Central and the Revolution, André Cymone and Dez Dickerson, were joined by Prince’s first manager Owen Husney to add to the Prince folklore in a conversation with Rolling Stone’s David Fricke.

Though initially cautious about betraying their friend’s trust by divulging more than he wanted fans to know, once the three got to reminiscing, the memorable anecdotes poured out. (Some…

Another Unwelcome Change In The Climate

http://billingsgazette.com/opinion/editorial/gazette-opinion-we-re-pulling-our-endorsement-of-gianforte/article_34d90b42-545b-5e10-9355-605b7c5cb11f.html

THIS is the current climate change sweeping across the country. Trump  sewer-dwellers are fomenting this foolish nonsense that threatens the future of public discourse concerning divergent points of view. 

Folks should be able to agree to disagree before resorting to physical assault that might result in a premature departure from this planet. These bottom feeders are disgusting. 

Whether it’s a Borden milk cow look-alike waiting for roll backs on her husbands wife beater t-shirts from Fruit of The Loom at Walmart or an arrogant piece of shit GOP politician with skin too thin to be asked the simplest of questions…these assholes represent the itch of ignorance…they keep begging for it to be scratched. 

The ultimate irony=The POS, posing as the POTUS they voted for, could give less than a damn about them. Just wait until their fucking healthcare premiums skyrocket higher than their exponentially expanding ignorance and stupidity. Dr. Feel Good will be permanently out of the office and buyers/voters remorse won’t mean a damn thing when they lose limbs…land and lives.

There are 3 sides to every story…YOU have one…I have one…The OTHER side contains THE TRUTH. We shouldn’t have to maim and kill each other to discover a common higher ground.~Daryl 

“As the great philosopher Aristotle suggested, a golden mean or middle ground is often where the answer lies, but where by necessity serious tension (pulled from both sides) occurs. Moreover, as Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, once said, “Let truth contend in the marketplace of ideas.” Carlyle was confident that truth should be given freedom and space to be discussed, and in his Enlightenment age, he believed rational minds and reason would prevail.”

Seth Conrad Rich (January 3, 1989 – July 10, 2016) was a 27-year-old employee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) who was fatally shot in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C

The crime was used as the pretext for right-wing conspiracy theories, which have been debunked by law enforcement agencies in their official statements about the case. These theories falsely stated that there is credible evidence Rich was the source of the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak.

According to U.S. intelligence assessments, Russian intelligence services are most likely responsible for the hacking and the leak.

It Is What It Is

~~April 21, 2017~~ 

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY

I can’t believe how fast time flies.

A year ago we received the news of Prince passing.

He was found in Paisley Park, lifeless.

Many theories were presented, many half truths, many rumors.

No matter the reason, a huge musical giant, an amazing musician, a masterful influence was gone.

He crossed his ‘Purple Bridge”.

And left his many fans behind!

From a Facebook Member, Josie Fletcher … had to share! 
Prince isn’t dead … he just hopped on his “Little Red Corvette” … with his “Raspberry Beret” … drove off through the “Purple Rain“, over “Graffiti Bridge” … under the “Cherry Moon“, partying like it’s “1999” … because this is what happens “When Doves Cry“!!

Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016) was an American…
