President Barack Obama delivers his final State of the Union address on Tuesday night. And even though the speech is still hours away, it’s already safe to assume there’s at least three big lies Obama is going to deliver during the speech in an attempt to spin the history of his legacy.
— Lie #1
Employment – Obama is going to say that employment is up and the job market is strong.
Why it’s a lie – Employment and wages have been stagnant for months. Unemployment rates are higher than economists want, and there hasn’t been growth in months.
Here’s the truth – For a third straight month, the unemployment rate in December was 5 percent, higher than what economists consider healthy. And that doesn’t count people who have stopped looking for jobs.
Average hourly pay seems stuck, sliding one cent last month to $25.24. That left the growth of average pay at 2.5 percent last year, below the 3.5 percent economists consider healthy.
The latest figures show the overall economy growing at a less-than-ideal 2 percent annual rate in last year’s July to September quarter.
And if you don’t have a job, it didn’t get much better. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), “The number of unemployed persons, at 7.9 million, was essentially unchanged in December. The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was essentially unchanged at 2.1 million in December and accounted for 26.3 percent of the unemployed,” and that “the number of long-term unemployed has shown little movement since June.”
Millions of employed citizens are also in a bad spot. According to the BLS, “The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed at 6.0 million in December.” The BLS goes on to explain that “These individuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job.”
— Lie #2
Terrorism – Obama is going to cite the coalition recapturing of Ramadi to show that we’re winning the war against ISIS.
Why it’s a lie – ISIS has branched out all over the world.
Here’s the truth – Just today, a teacher in France was attacked with a machete by a teen inspired by ISIS. Over the weekend, two Syrian migrants were caught in the United States trying to join the terror group. Another Islamic radical declared his loyalty to the group and tried to assassinate a Philadelphia cop.
In the past few months, ISIS has conducted numerous attacks in both Europe and the United States. The November killing of 130 people in Paris and last month’s shooting in San Bernardino, California, by a radicalized Muslim couple helped fuel public worries. Polls show growing concerns about terrorism and allowing Muslim migrants to enter the U.S.
— Lie #3
Gun violence – Obama is going to say that gun violence is out of control, and that his executive overreach with background checks was necessary.
Why it’s a lie – Gun violence is down, and no part of Obama’s executive order would have prevented a single mass shooting.
Here’s the truth – Between 1993 and 2013, homicides by gun in the United States plunged by half, from 7.0 per 100,000 to 3.6 per 100,000 according to a report from The Washington Post.
The number of victims of non-fatal crimes involving guns – like robberies – declined even more, from 725 per 100,000 in 1993 to 175 per 100,000 in 2013.
And Obama’s recent executive overreach would have done nothing to prevent mass shootings, anyway. According to a recent investigation by the Associated Press, the gun background orders Obama put forth recently would have done nothing to prevent some of the deadliest mass shootings in recent history, including the slaughter of 20 first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, or 14 county workers at a holiday party in San Bernardino, California.
Like most of Obama’s speeches in the past, the so-called “out of control gun violence” in America is media fantasy, fueled by liberal politicans looking to restrict gun ownership by any means necessary.

Main Street says
According to a CBS News story last week, 64% of Americans haven’t enough money at hand to cover a $500.00 emergency. The vast majority of new jobs created in the past 5 years are part-time, no benefit, lower wage ones. Nearly half our population is on some type of tax paid for welfare program. Congress votes to cut retirement benefits. The middle east and Europe as a result are in crisis. The rich get richer, freeloaders get WIC, SEC 8 housing even though they are young and healthy.The middle class melts away like a snow bank in April. That’s the state of our nation.
Jim says
U r right on!!
william g munson says
He has nothing to do with the jobs that farmers will hire to do harvesting at the last of the year and the businesses that hire people at the end of the year that happens every year at Christmas too Period then after the first of the year the are laid off as usual too
Alicia Salinas says
You say the middle class melts away, and it’s going to melt at a faster pace, when the Unions can’t help the middle class anymore. Unions are there for a reason, the middle class prospered.
Wages don’t go up, because the republicans will NOT raise the minimum wage, which is LONG overdue.
Look around there is construction everywhere, there are “now hiring” signs up, waiting for the unemployed to apply.
Real estate sale are up.
Gas prices are down
ISIS is everywhere, but they have been around way before 911, they are like a pimple ready to come to a head. If congress would have passed bills to fund the war against ISIS, maybe the pimple would have been popped already.
64% of Americans can’t come up with $500 emergency is a lie, they must have polled 100 people, that were in a shelter. I can poll 100 people at a casino and they can up with over $1000.00 for emergency.
Unemployment is up, doesn’t matter what the forecaster would like to see, the fact is its UP, not down, better then before President Obama took office.
The President isn’t going to knock on your door to take your guns. He is trying to implement laws that make the the citizens of the United States safer.
I for one feel safer with less guns on the streets. Yes crimes are lower, but gun violence is more prevalent in states that don’t have strict gun laws.
I love the constitution, it allows be the freedom to say you are promoting lies.
Jim says
Your statement about violence and gun ownership is flawed. Strict gun rules do not make a community safer. They only take the guns away from the responsible people who have them for protection. Most of the gun violence is due to criminals who do not own the guns legally. They are either bought illegally or stolen from those who bought them legally. Look at France, they lost over 150 innocent people. They were helpless because France does not allow guns. Did that stop the bad guys from owning them? The process is very complicated and is not as simple as taking guns away from citizens.
The Equalizer says
No one is taking guns away from honest citizens! However by tightening existing laws, maybe gang members, terrorists, drug dealers, felons, and psychos who are discovered with guns will be arrested, charged and jailed. Honest folks and hunters have nothing to fear.
PS: Are you a drug dealer perchance, or perhaps like Wayne LaPierre you flunked out of military service because of a mental condition? Maybe that’s why the NRA doesn’t want restrictions on psychos!
Kevin says
You have gone overboard with your comment. Obama’s target is ultimately “law-abiding” citizens. He has options… The best one I see is the taxes and restrictions that are being put in place on “Ammunition”. Guns cannot function without bullets. Restricting the supply and availability of same is the liberal end-run around efforts to derail gun-control. People like you should be mugged by a A$$ who has a gun so you can realize that you can’t protect yourself and the Police that are supposed to protect you “Just Aren’t Around”. People like you think the way you do because you “live” where this does not happen.
Todd says
Another fine example of the common sense of door knobs! Congratulations, you have graduated to a door knob!!! Yeahhhh!!
M. E. Thomas says
NRA has done a lot of work to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. They have tried repeatedly to work with the Administration to offer their ideas and implement them in conjunction with the Administration and Obama has refused them. It would look politically bad for Obama to cooperate with the NRA. Check your facts before your assumptions.
Joseph Halbrooks says
Under current Federal law all states are required to run a full background check before clearing the sale of a firearm. Gang members, felons, terrorist, and those adjudicated as mentally ill are already filtered out by current background checks. Anyone that thinks they purchased their guns legally is insane or Democrat. Obama’s executive order is just more red tape for honest citizens. He is even trying to figure out a way to add a tax to legal purchases.
I served with honor all of my adult life taking down the worst scumbags that even regular police feared. I carried a sidearm, a CAR-15 select fire, a submachine gun, and a sniper rifle in my patrol vehicle for my whole career. And as a law abideing citizen I go through the same background check as everyone else. But under Obama even I could have a hard time with all of his additions to the initial executive order.
Alicia Salinas says
No Jim, you are wrong, none of these laws take away guns from law abiding citizens. Yes it is complicated, but lying about the laws should be a factor. Those NRA parroting blurbs are non-sense.
Alicia Salinas says
Kevin, wishing harm upon a law abiding citizen is your way, well I don’t wish you any harm, but you are WRONG. Even people with guns, have been killed, owning a gun does not guarantee you safety, but you are entitled to think that way, as I am entitled to let you know you are WRONG.
M. E. Thomas says
Nonsense is not implementing the gun laws on the books and making plea deals with convicted felons. Not to mention the blurb you might have missed, where Obama has released 6000 criminals to return to a life of crime and the resulting gun violence. None of these new executive actions (NOT LAW I remind you) will have any affect on criminals getting illegal gun or legal guns through straw purchases which is already outlawed. Gun Laws only affect law abiding gun owners. You can’t change what a person carries in their heart when they intend to commit gun violence and no gun law will stop it either. Wake up!
Walter Morris says
What about drugs, you are breaking the law when you have them. Drugs are still out there, bad people that wants drugs, they will get them. You can take away all guns, bad people will get them. Problem is good people will still die and will have no protection, from the bad guys, with guns. What all gun owners should do, is put a sign up on there house, that they own a gun, and will shoot. Say your neighbor has no gun. Just see where the bad guy go’es. He will go to the neighbor with no gun. Look at some of the shootings (1) San Francisco Girl killed on Dock with a stolen gun from a F.B.I. Lost gun. (2) Policeman in Philadelphia Got shot with stolen police gun. (3) Border patrolman shoot by a gun from fast and furious sold to the drug cartel by Obama’s government. ( 4) California has real strict guns laws Mass shooting at a offices party.(5) Chicago the strictest gun laws in the United States and have one of the highest killings in the United States. Remember If I have a Gun you could be safer. if no one but the bad guys have guns I will not be safe and you will not be ether,
Main Street says
The majority of new jobs since 2011 are part-time no benefit ones. Pew, Brookings and Princeton studies say that over 90 million Americans are underemployed or unemployed. NAFTA which has cost millions of union jobs to leave was signed by Clinton. The Democrats pushed the Pacific Trade bill which will cost more union jobs. Fair to say that both parties abandoned the working classes.
M. E. Thomas says
Your union dues go towards electing Democrats. Republicans don’t seem have that steady forced revenue stream. Get rid of unions, forced dues and the corruption. Right to work levels the field and make goods and services more affordable for everyone.
Alicia Salinas says
M. E. Thomas, I agree the guns laws on the books need to be implemented and loop holes need to be closed, but even if ONE life is saved due to President Obama’s executive actions, he has done his job, by protecting Americans. The NRA exist solely to control the money they make, gun manufactures and ammunition companies that they lobby for keep them in business, and members like you think they are good for America, I used to be a member, I know the propaganda they put out. And I know a lot about mental illness, just because you carry an NRA card does not mean you are mentally stable. A lot of people are not diagnosed until they commit a crime. Unions and most organizations have corruption within, but for the most, if it had not been for the unions a lot of the parents to these young voters would not have experience what the middle class is all about. I am baffled because most union and government employees are republicans and why on earth would you want to get rid of the hand that feeds you. I am neither, government employee nor union worker, so it doesn’t matter to me. As you can see in the last 8 years the 2% have not created the jobs, they just increased their net worth.
Walter Morris says
When you tax company’s too much, that company moves to another country, and jobs are lost. I always here people say, tax the rich, they have lots of money. I have no problem, taxing Sports people and actors, and people that are not helping, anyone but there self. I do have a problem taxing company’s here in the United States, that employ workers here in the United States. Our company’s here in the United States, are being taxed way more than other country’s, that tax them. Don’t tax company’s that are getting rich, here here in the United States. Taxes for company’s should be based on how many employees, they have working for them. More Employees, working in America bigger tax break. it would have to be based on Percentage of employees in that company. I don’t care if a company pays no taxes, if they employ enough employees. The employees will be able to pay taxes on there wages because they are working. People not working no taxes. No Tax breaks for company’s that are not in America.
The Equalizer says
Walter – Can you explain to me how GE while earning $billions in profits pays zero taxes? Hello.
Turns out that it’s the little guy that gets screwed, not big corporations.
Richard says
Follow the yellow brick road. Dorthy (Alicia) and soon you’ll be in Oz. But I see your already in fantasy land.
Alicia Salinas says
Richard it does appear to be a fantasy on this sight, because a lot of you spew the same old rhetoric, conspiracies and lies. But I’m not looking for oz, and I am not lost or searching. I have peace within, and know where I’m going. Maybe you should take you own advise and follow the yellow brick road.
Natezane says
Alicia, poor, poor Alicia. It has been said that it is wiser to remain silent and though to be ignorant, rather than open your mouth and remove ALL doubt. You might try that. By the way, if you insist on a reply, then I have proven my point.
Richard says
the only part of your statement that’s true is, unemployment is up. You got that right.
Alicia Salinas says
Richard I stand to be corrected and acknowledge the typo as we both know I meant employment is up. But you and I know the true facts. Are you unemployed?
Main Street says
Low wage, non-benefit jobs that are minimum wage or close to it are growing. You call that good?
Pam Ela says
ISIS is everywhere but hey that’s okay because gas prices are down.
Do you even hear yourself…….
THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OTHER COUNTRIES. LOOK LONG AN HARD AT THIS:
Here is a post from a woman in the UK.
“I had to flee Luton (UK) to get away from islam. This is what is coming to your country: http://www.blindfoldnation.com… See how they are arguing with that politician in Britain and saying how dare you come into a Muslim area? THAT IS A NO GO ZONE!!!
AND
In Sweden women cannot even leave their homes. Go to zerohedge and read ‘Sweden’s First month of ‘Islamic Multiculturalism – Rapes, acquittals, & Severed Heads’.
AND
In Australia the gun ban, that Hellary thinks is just so wonderful, actually caused home invasions and crime to skyrocket so badly they cannot even keep count.
AND
In Germany there are so many rapes and Gang Assaults of women the police cannot even keep up.
And then go to You Tube and search ‘With Open Gates: The forced collective suicide of European Nations’ try to find it with sound.
This is going to be us soon as this president invites refugee-terrorists to cross over our borders. Soon we will be having ‘no go zones’ and they will be coming to our ‘gun free zones’ like in Paris.
These people do not want to blend in. They want Mosques and they want death to all non-muslims..
If you want to be defenseless that is your choice. But do not dictate to the rest of us. I know first-hand when seconds count there is no time to call for help.
The Equalizer says
I was in Luton 4 weeks ago on a project and what an amazing multicultural community it is. Obviously the woman who you quote felt differently, but the cuisine now is a vast improvement over the old stodgy flavorless British stuff !! Frankly, there are ZERO no-go areas in the UK, and apart from New Year’s Eve in Cologne, there have not been ‘more Gang Assaults of women than the police can keep up with’. The idiots there were mainly from Morocco and Algeria where attitudes are still 7th century.
However, I agree with you that Europe needs to limit the influx of immigrants to the level at which they can be absorbed. Until now, that has worked reasonably well except in the ‘banlieu’ around Paris where unemployed and disenfranchised youths just hang around. (Not that we don’t have similar issues in some of our cities with our own citizens … LOL)
Alicia Salinas says
Pam I understand your fears, but remember this is America, and we the people know better. That’s why equality for all is necessary. American Muslims have the right to a mosque, just as all other religious orders have their right to their house of God. Doesn’t your bible tell you to fear not, but God Himself. You are fear mongering.
phillip says
why don’t you dig a hole and fall in it before ISIS DOES IT TO YOU………
Sidney says
Alicia, you need a wake up call, you are so out of touch with reality AND FACTS AN THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER. It’s really only one way to describe your comments, you are talking out of your ass
because your mouth knows better, how can anyone with one once of sence be so STUPID, as to what Obama is trying to do and all the STUPID CRAP HE’S DONE sence he’s been your president, not mine but people who think as you do, GET U’R HEAD OUTTA U’R ASS.
Alicia Salinas says
Sidney,
My head is attached above my shoulders and cannot reach my ass, I sometimes let my fingers do the talking, but you and I both know facts about President Obama, you may want to hang on to conspiracies, but I hang on to facts. You think I am out of touch because you live in a hateful circle.
phillip says
Alicia… I think you need to move out of our country…..
Alicia Salinas says
philip this country is mine, as it was my parents, as it was my grandparents as it was my great, great grandparents. Maybe you should move to Russia where your beloved Putin can tell you what to do.
Todd says
Typical Libtard rhetoric! You must be looking for a cabinet seat in the administration. This president continually circumvents the constitution also. This is your rendition of a great leader?! You are obviously less American than the muslims!
phillip says
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!! Todd….. perfect!!!!…. less American……she is one of them….
Alicia Salinas says
Todd, No I am not looking for a cabinet spot, they know me about as much as they know you. And yes compared to Bush/Cheney, this administration is way above, shinning like a star. President Obama is a much greater leader than Bush.
Reed says
Alicia Salinas,
Our current administration has caused nearly irreparable damage to the economy, national security and the very constitution that we live by. This administration has created more divisiveness in race, gender and socioeconomic issues than we have seen since segregation. It is a deliberate plan to weaken our society to create greater power for big government. The fact that people like you don’t “see it” or are brainwashed into believing that everything is exactly what they are telling you is a very sad scenario for the future of this country. Stop thinking with your heart and start thinking with your brain, and things will become very clear to you.
Reed
Alicia Salinas says
Reed explain the damage to the economy you are talking about, We seem to be living in two different world. The division was not created by this administration. The Teaparty is made up of ALL KKK members and some people that actually have brains, but the division was made by those that show hate. Government is not against you, remember we make the laws. It is your own people that have created this division that you speak of. And for your information I don’t follow man’s word, I educate myself, I look and I listen, and then I use my own opinion. I am not a puppet, I don’t wear suspenders. I don’t get government subsidies, I earn every penny I get. America is better then it was in 2007, and 2008.
Chuck says
I PRAY FOR PEOPLE AS STUPID AS YOU
phillip says
I’ll dig the hole and you can fall in it……
Main Street says
Alicia is correct. America is better than it was in 2008. Better for able bodied folks on WIC, Sec. 8 Housing, EBT etc. Better for hater cultures who have caused so much destruction in the Middle east. Better for those who sneak over the border to get benefits that working class Americans don’t qualify for. Better for big business who benefit from NAFTA and other trade deals. Alicia is so smart. I
Skip says
Thank God for Reed. Finally someone who can actually spell, construct correct sentences, and make sense all at the same time!
Linda says
Obviously you are clueless to what is happening around you, to “real” people!
Main Street says
Maybe Alicia is one of the able bodied young folks who’s job description is to wait for the government check every month? Surely, no ambitious caring person could be pleased with the way things are today.
Alicia Salinas says
Main Street, I have been in business through the last 6 presidencies (Carter, Reagan, G. Bush CLinton, GW Bush and now Obama. I don’t get government checks, never have. I have been employed since I was 16 years of age, I would think it takes ambition to accomplish what I have accomplished. I have more ambition on my right hand then you have through all your body. So maybe you ought to give it some thought as to why you are really unhappy.
Alicia Salinas says
Linda what is “real” people. Do you live in a state where zombies cultivate with “real” people.
Main Street says
Alicia must live in a delusional world and gets offended when others look at reality. Even Democrats like myself are tired of a nation where low paying, part time jobs are the new norm. Clinton and Democrats pushed through NAFTA and the Pacific Trade deal that has cost so many American jobs. Many Americans think it a problem not a cause for celebration that able bodied folks come here to have many kids that taxpayers pay for while the middle clash vanishes. Alicia can make all the excuses she wants for the decline of our nation.
M. E. Thomas says
You are delusional at best. Your economic information sounds like a sound bite from the main stream media. We are being fed lies about the employment, financial and economy. (remember you can keep your health plans and your doctor lie). You obviously don’t own a gun or know anything about guns except what some anti-gun nut wants you to believe. If guns are such a problem why did Obama release 6000 criminals (mostly non violent convicted drug dealers so we are told (lie))? Do you really think that those released non violent drug dealers conducted their business unarmed? Just a handshake to make a good drug deal was all that was needed, because there is so much trust in the drug business. There are gun laws on the books now that would keep us safer, if they were enforced. How many of the released criminals had a firearm at the time of arrest and were already a felon? Just that alone can constitute a life sentence. Do you really believe none of them had an illegal gun in their possession at the time of arrest? Democrats need and condone a certain amount of gun violence taking place to drive their anti-gun agenda and those 6000 released criminals are just what they need. The released criminals are going to apply for welfare, disability and or unemployment whatever they can get. Then they are free to continue to commit more crime using a illegal gun. They know they can get away with it and the system will be soft on crime. Do you really think these new executive gun laws will prevent any of the criminals from getting and using guns? The answer is NO! You can’t change what a person carries in their heart and no gun law is going to do that. ENFORCE THE GUN LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS AND STOP THE PLEA DEALS. You will be surprised how effective it will be in curbing gun violence. Gun laws only affect law abiding gun owners. You want to make us safer?…….try stopping terrorist posing as immigrants from entering this country and closing our borders.
Alicia Salinas says
Thomas, eing in business, I can feel when the economy is on the blink.
I own a gun, and I am a pretty good shooter. My aim is always on target.
The prisoners were released because they are not hard criminals. In fact I know one of them was given a hundred year sentence for having a small baggies with residue. They did not confiscate any narcotics, and I know this because I read the whole 600 page transcript. President Obama is not the first president to release or pardon criminals, they ALL have done it. You are wrong about the guns laws. Tell me personally how they have affected you. You want to make us safer, stop teaching your children how to hate.
Don says
@ Alicia Salinas: To address a few of your fallacies,
1. Unions, early on in America, had a legitimate purpose. There were no established safety/child slavery laws. That is no longer true. Today, unions only exist to profit the union upper bosses. Public unions are a parasite on the American taxpayer and serve no purpose that benefits John Q taxpayer. The Supreme court ruling will establish this.
2. Minimum wages are for those entering the job market, to gain experience in employment, which is to provide them a springboard for better jobs as they progress in life. Each job opportunity, in conjunction with furthering their education in the field that they wish to pursue a career in, will provide a suitable income to provide for their family. Let me make this clear, “MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE CAREER PATHS., OR TO PAY WAGES HIGH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A FAMILY. THIS IS S LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE/UNION MYTH.”
3. Construction jobs have primarily been taken by MEXICANS, whether illegal or legal. You only need to take notice as YOU are passing ANY construction site.
4 Real estate sales are up due to the Federal Reserve printing ‘FIAT’
money, in an attempt to support the failing economy, to the tune of ONE BILLION dollars a year, which has kept interest rates at record lows. FIAT money is money that is printed that has nothing to back it up. (ie. the gold standard) This action only devalues the dollar, which in which the end, will result in extreme inflation.
5 . Gas prices are down due to drilling and fracking on ‘PRIVATE LANDS’. Obama’s energy policies (as well as all of his policies) have been a disaster to America. Does SOLYNDRA Solar ring a bell???
That is only one of many failed solar companies that received taxpayer financing that went bankrupt.
6 ISIS is the direct result of the OBAMA/CLINTON middle East foreign policies. Obama (the community organizer) completely ignored his military advisers on middle East policy, in fact, firing any who disagreed with HIS middle East policy views.
Please come back with something documenting their existence prior to 911 in America!!!!!
7 Law abiding citizens are NOT responsible for gun violence in the United States, terrorists, criminals and mentally challenged individuals are.
In your support of gun control, why don’t we disarm the Secret Service and bodyguards of politicians who support gun control. Oh, they need it for the safety and protection of the politicians who want to take that 2nd Amendment right away from the United States citizens!!! While Obama is intent on allowing Muslim terrorists into this country by the hundreds of thousands, American citizens are expected to give up the only way that they have to protect their families against these barbarians.
I DON”T THINK SO!!!
M. E. Thomas says
GOOD JOB DON!
The Equalizer says
Don: In numerical order:
1) Unions still have a legit purpose – fighting exploitation of overtime for workers ‘obliged’ to work overtime to keep their jobs, and helping enforce those ‘oh-so-inconvenient OSHA rules for worker safety. That’s why Walmart fights union enrollment.
2) Then how come I know at least 5 capable folk in their 40’s working minimum-wage jobs and trying to support families. (Oh – that must be Obama’s fault that the whole economy has changed)
3) Yes, Mexicans have taken over jobs that Americans are unwilling or unable to do … construction sites, farms. Your point sir?
4) If real estate is now inflated in price, how come so many foreigners are swarming over here to buy like crazy? And FYI – Interest rates are low to help us recover from the Bush-induced recession.
5) Gas prices are down due to …
(a) Saudi Arabia overproducing to force down the price of Iranian crude (Sunni vs Shia thing again)
(b) Fracking, but you may not have noticed the earthquakes beneath you feet, hence the regulations!
(c) Reduced demand due to policies put in place by Obama to encourage car mfrs to reduce average fuel consumption.
BTW Rip van Winkle – Solar is now booming, or did you miss that! I know, cave living is so hard !!
6) Obama/Clinton created ISIS! What? You missed the middle guy .. what’s his name, that stirred up the combined hatred of the whole mid-east against us!
7) No one said that law-abiding citizens are responsible for gun violence. Which part of your anatomy did you pull that one out of, or did you just want to make a pointless point?
And BTW, NOT hundreds of thousands … you got that from Generalissimo Trump … yah know, the guy who is going to get Mexico to pay for a wall that’s already been mostly built by Obama … or did you miss that too?
The number is more like 10,000 a year of carefully vetted, well-qualified, family members. Yah know … like Steve Job’s dad, Teri Hatcher, Jerry Seinfeld. Syrian-Americans all! Such bad people!
Alicia Salinas says
Good job equalizer.
phillip says
To everyone that’s wants to take guns away from us… you can all go to hell, I will never give up my guns, I will never give up my rights…. just thought I would throw that in the mix…
Alicia Salinas says
Chill phiilip, your guns are as safe as you make them. No one is out to get them, relax.
Walter Morris says
Good Job, you have only one big problem you are fighting with a Democrat. Democrats are never wrong. Just ask one? They would vote for a dog, if it ran as a Democrat, no matter how smart the dog was. They voted for Obama because he is black, and he don’t like his white half of himself. I never vote by color, sex, race, I vote for someone that really loves this country, and would die fighting for it. and is smart enough to make it strong again. Obama did not do it, he made it a lot worse. That isis and little country’s thank they can take us out. It might happen if we don’t get a president that is strong.

OK YOU WELFARE BUM. GO AWAY! YOU THINK THAT MUSLIM IS GOOD? DROP DEAD!
Tim says
Alicia Salinas – you dear are living in a fantasy world! Both Obama and Clinton have embraced the Australian gun confiscation as a model for what they want America to look like. And that IS NOT paranoia, it is just simple fact. But that’s okay because I know that you’l just put your hands over your ears and yell NANANANANANANA! I don’t want to hear it. People like yourself that have never had an original thought of your own but simply parrot what your ‘betters’ tell you to think are part and parcel of what is wrong with America and you will follow your leaders right off a cliff just like a lemming.

That is what the government worldwide wants, everyone on government handouts so they have total control of the masses.
Pedro Zorza says
No! Who are in control of the governments? The very, very rich. They want to squeeze the workers so they have no voice. In the 1960’s a one worker family could survive. Now a two worker family can barely survive. Is this due to hand outs? government programs? Yet, as a country we are richer than ever before…..
Pedro Zorza says
When all the unions are killed, there is no-one to speak for the workers. Since the 1980’s unions have been being squeezed and have become ineffective. Although the US is twice as rich as it was in 1980, the average worker has seen no increase in wages. The squeeze is not only for blue collar but white collar workers too! Who is the voice for the average Joe?? No-one!! The problem is a representative system which has been destroyed by laws like “Citizen’s United”. This goes far beyond Obama. He says he is in favor of overturning “Citizen’s United”. Both Republican and Democratic representatives are indentured to the money who brings them to power. We are becoming an oligarchy. That is the problem.
Jim says
Why only three things? Everything that comes out of this bozo’s mouth will be a lie!
TotallyFedUp says
Most DEFINITELY! It goes farther than that. If a Democrats mouth is moving, you KNOW it’s a lie!

I agree with you, infact I said The president should be beck to were he belongs, in africa with a linecloth and a spear and put in the forest.

Oh lynda, such hatred, and some wonder where the division comes from.
Jerry says
Jim is Correct . . . . He should have been given the nickname “Pinocchio” many years ago! We can’t trust him – because everything he says seems to be crafted as a cover up or a glossing over of his true intended agenda and is meant to camouflage his true purposes! He is a chameleon and I’m convinced now that he has no love for this country! Since day one, he’s been using the Presidency to sell out the American people! When he was a politician in Illinois, he devoted much of his time trying to disarm the citizens in that state by proposing and / or supporting every piece of gun control legislature that came down the pike! AND – FYI, one of Obama’s life ambitions has been the study of the US Constitution which (by the way) I understand he taught at several colleges. I’m reasonably sure he studied the US Constitution to determine how one might be able to circumvent it and to
by-pass some of the guaranteed rights of the people contained within this document! You may have noticed that this is exactly what he’s doing now with all his Presidential executive orders! Realistically, the President happens to be a member of the Executive Branch of government and should not be enacting any laws by executive orders without the approval of Congress!
I believe this is in opposition to the US Constitution! The Legislative Branch of government enacts our laws which happens to be the responsibility of the US Congress and Senate as outlined by the US Constitution! This IS NOT suppose to be a responsibility of the President! President Obama is so arrogant he believes – as the President – he can do just about whatever he pleases – even to enact his own laws! He does this knowing that it will take a lot of time and money for the people to object to his unconstitutional executive acts and get these actions overturned by the courts – often times by the US Supreme Court! FYI – Obama’s supporters would like nothing better than to appoint few more ultra-Liberal Supreme Court Justices – so they can continue the destruction of the US Constitution and rights of the American people! I would not be surprised if Obama has been releasing all the terrorists from the Guantanamo military prisons and freely supporting immigrants streaming into this country because he would like to see a few more terrorist attacks and tragedies – So, he can eventually declare Marshall Law that will allow him to stay in the Presidency indefinitely! How in the world did we ever get such a knot head elected President of the United States? I’m beginning to believe that maybe we should have a short qualifying test given to everyone before they are allowed to vote! There are just way too many ignorant voters showing up who apparently know nothing about this great country how it’s suppose to function and many of these type voters are only interested in who will give them more Freebees and larger welfare checks with no strings attached while the rest of us are working our asses off, paying taxes to support this mess and we are surely without any doubt the true idiots paying for it all!

Jerry – You’ve missed you vocation, Sir! You would be a great fiction writer, a creator of fantastical conspiracy tales.
Jerry says
The only conspiracy has been that pulled off by the Obama thugs.
Alicia Salinas says
Jerry, can you name those thugs.
Petty says
Jerry you are 100% accurate about Obama. Don’t forget the unelected bureaucrats that are also causing the downfall of America. Equalizer, go collect your welfare check and smoke another doobie. You can’t see what’s right in front of your face. You are willing to give up your rights so easily, when young men and women have died for them. Just plain stupid.
Susan says
What has he said that isn’t a lie? A person with no fingers could count that!!
Jim says
I can’t watch Obumbler speak, and nor can I listen; listening to his voice is like listening to a drunk vomiting in the alley. (Glad for those who have stronger stomachs.) Reading (what he has read from the teleprompter) is also an exercise in madness: he suffers from the Dunning-Kruger Effect, something that was evident much earlier than before his first inauguration:
“The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is. The bias was first experimentally observed by David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University in 1999. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their own ineptitude and evaluate their own ability accurately.” (Wikipedia)
TotallyFedUp says
Seems like all the Democraps are hit with the same problem. Problem is, they’re dragging America through the same illusional toilet that they’re swimming in!
Pam Ela says
@ Jim. Me either. I can’t even stand to look at his face. He is Satan. And his lying voice sends chills down my back. I cannot wait until November.
phillip says
Pam… when Obummer first started his road to become president, I could see an antichrist figure in him, so your words a closer to the truth than you know, I think he is a disciple, he works for santan…
Jim says
Read about Dunning-Kruger Effect, and you will see why Obimbo has been so incompetent, and why he has chosen such incompetent personnel for all of his cabinet positions – (and why he has sacked so many military leaders, who are all skilled at measuring en, and who find Obimbo so utterly lacking.)
Kruger-Dunning: if you watch the address, keep this in mind: he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know; he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know, and he cannot fairly evaluate talent because he has little talent from which to judge others’ performance.
DaleDude says

William Simoni says
If OBAMA is so great why didn’t he do all this thing when he had the majority of the demos in congress and the majority of the senate his first term. Was it because it would make the demos look bad, now that the GOP has the senate and congress he is hood winking all his supporter making them thank he is strong. Just like fish. They see only the juice bait that he is dangling but your not seeing the hook that’s in that juice bait. Let revue the greatness of OBAMAs achievements . When he took office we were the leading nation in the world now we are number two, we lost it to CHINA , when he took office we were NINE TRILLION in DEPT when he leaves office we will be TWENTY TRILLION in DEPT. Let see. iSSIS was call the JV Team ,let’s see OBAMA said with OBAMA CARE you will be able to keep your DR , yes you can but please don’t let yourself be hospitalized be cause your doctor will not be there for you you will be seen only by a DR that is only staffed by the hospital unless if your DR pays The OB care then he will be allowed to see you in the hospital. I now this because my daughter is a doctor. She had to buy a disk for thirty thousand dollar so to report question that had to be asked during your exam, then sent it to the IRS . Let’s see I have about fifty other great accomplishments but I’m afraid I will run out of room. Well just one more, that oil pipe line that was stopped because for environmental or one of his of the wall reasons. Guess what one of his big backers MR Buffet happens to own the railroad that transports that oil. Wow so for all you nice people that elected him for us smile and be happy.
The Equalizer says
To answer your first question – when Obama came into office, he was naive enough to actually think he would even get the kind of bilateral support from Congress given to previous presidents so he was in no rush. But he didn’t count on the scheming mind of the mini-hamster, Mitch McConnell, to organize a campaign of non-cooperation. And that is what has occurred since these last 6 years.
And as for the debt – if you are not numerically challenged, it’s worth looking at the effects of Dubya’s tax cuts which failed to stimulate the economy but cut government revenues. When the recession hit in 2008 (the worst recession since the Great Depression) the Feds had no surplus with which to re-invigorate the economy and were obliged into increasing the debt to inject into the system and then quantitative easing. If this hadn’t happened, the US economy and probably the world economy as well would have collapsed. Of course, all the armchair critics now emerge from their safe cocoons, their economic security having been largely spared, but don’t forget who saved the US economy. We dodged the proverbial bullet thanks to Obama!
William Simoni says
Bush. Heres something to Check he last term was in the hands of a controlled demo congress and controlled senate with Dobbs and franks controlling the housing market and pelusy and Reid. Hands tied . The came OBAMA with all the power to do what ever he wanted. Now we have a stale economy , they count only the resent uninployment but they leave out the rest that have to scrape jobs for cash like mowing lawns and house work so they don’t have to pay taxes.

I had voted for Obama because of the reasons you have stated. Why don’t you research Pres. Obama like I did? I looked back as far as I could get information. I was extremely disappointed with information found and association regarding the International Brotherhood. it makes everything happening today explainable.

TotallyFedUp says
You’re not living in “Visions of Grandure”!?? You’re totally detached from reality. Pull your head out of where it is and look around. Anyone with just half a brain can see what this traitor has been methodically doing to this nation. It would definitely be a good thing for boot-licking sheeple such as yourself along with Obamination to pack up and get the hell out of our nation. We don’t want you and we certainly don’t need you. It’s amazing the idiotic people like you have enough brain power to move your feet!!!
The Equalizer says
Back on your meds, TotallyFedUp – Your comment ” It would definitely be a good thing for boot-licking sheeple such as yourself along with Obamination to pack up and get the hell out of our nation” demonstrates your utter contempt for democracy and real exchange of opinions.
A pity really – that’s what the Constitution is intent on preserving, but maybe you missed its finer points when you got kicked out of civics class.

VERY GOOD… THAT SUMS IT UP!!!!!
Bill Bower says
What planet do you come from? All Obama has done for these last three years has been one lie after another. He has violated our constitution on a number of times. So please put brain in gear before opining mouth.

Yea, just like those fake tears he shed for the victims of (false flag) gun violence! If he truly cared about this country, and the people in it, he wouldn’t have opened the borders wide so that extremists who want to kill us could enter the country unabated. You, and those who think like you have the common sense of door knobs!!! WAKE UP!!!!
p.s. God bless those with some common sense, and also bless those with the common sense of door knobs,,, that their eyes may be opened to the truth of things!!!! AMEN

That’s right TODD! tears that came from Hollywood notice how he rubbed the bottom of his eyes and then the tears started to fall.I iWork around actors its called menthol tears, just think TODD he may have a future when out of office, like maybe play the JOkER in a new batman episode along with Michael Moore as batman.

James Maxwell says
The only comment you can make about either of them is Bonehead looked like a fake tan drunk and
his replacement looks like an Iranian terrorist with his bear growing out. Neither followed their oath
of office and worked for the voters but only for themselves an their self serving interest.
The last comment I read said that the “Bloated spending bill” was crafted by bonehead and Ryan
could not change it! Not sure who dreamed up that line of Meadow Muffins but they must expect the
American people to be extremely ignorant to believe it.
Bill Bower says
Amen!
Bill Bower says
Amen Brother, Amen!
James Maxwell says
From the moment the Liar in Chief steps on the stage and look at his tele prompter, the lies will come forth as soon as
his mouth open. It will be hard to pick one over the other. He is incapable to speak the truth on any level and would
rather like than tell the truth. Of course, someone will have to explain to him what the truth is and then he might have
a heart attack in front of the world. I think the word they use to describe such a person is “Pathological” A person
who is incapable of telling the truth. The words I would use to describe him are not permitted in public so I will leave it
at this. His father, Satan, told Bath House Barry to bend over and let the lies come forth. They have been spewing since
he was created in Kenya, develop in Indonesia and inflicted upon the rest of the world since then.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happens when $3,000,000,000,000 (i.e, $3 trillion) gets buried in the Iraqi and Afghan deserts – money that if invested at home would have repaired thousands of miles of corroded water and sewage pipes, as well as old rusty bridges, and pot-holed roads. Recovery from the 2008 depression is still not complete in the U.S. (thanks to Congressional bickering) but right now we are held back by a sluggish world economy that lags far behind the U.S. Overall, we have done far better than other economies and that is thankfully due to the skill of Obama and the Feds, as well as keeping us out of Mid-East involvement in their own petty hatreds. As for wages, these are starting to rise again as unemployment keeps dropping. Keep in mind that Rome wasn’t built in a day.
TotallyFedUp says
You’re a legend in your own mind. Obamination and his cronies have done nothing to bolster our economy. They keep giving it away to groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, third world countries and destroying our sovereignty. Pull your head out and look around and stop swallowing all the meadow muffins the communistic left keeps feeding idiots like yourself. The idiot liar in chief doesn’t have any skills. Neither do the Fed’s and neither do you!
The Equalizer says
You’ll be claiming next that the economy was better at the end of 2008 under Dubya that it is today ha-ha. Do I have news for you !!
And as for the Muslim Brotherhood, no one here has curbed the suppression of the Brotherhood in Egypt. The military (and secular) government in Egypt continues to receive aid from the US. As for your odd comment about ‘giving it away’ to third-world countries, do not forget that they are now becoming some of our best customers as they build up their own capitalist economies with American expertise. Would you prefer them to seek Russian help from Vlad? If so, that would certainly put yourself in the communist camp.
Just sayin’
Jerry says
Equalizer, you comments are the most ignorant of all posted here. Your logic is twisted more times than a Oklahoma tornado! Keep telling yourself these lies maybe delusion is what works for you.
The Equalizer says
Keep laughing Jerry, especially when the rightists you support take away your Meds and Social Security. It is indeed a complement of the highest order to be labelled ‘ignorant’ by yourself. It means that some of the logic may have actually penetrated your skull. After all, it was you, Sir, who called Obama the ‘Satan’ was it not. Talk about demonizing those with whom you disagree!
It would seem that the Democracy of exchange of opinion may not be your strong point in which case if you were in charge, you would become the very dictator that you accuse Obama of being.
Pam Ela says
@the Equalizer……Keeping us out of mid-east involvement???……are you on drugs. He is bringing them ‘here’ to us. Who the h@#L do you think he is letting over our borders by the thousands.
The Equalizer says
The only folks from Syria who will be allowed here, and only in very limited numbers are those who are well-qualified and have special skills in areas like medicine and engineering. In my profession, there is a dire shortage of engineers and programmers whose jobs could (and should) be filled by Americans but this just isn’t happening. If you look at Silicon Valley, there are thousands of folk from all over the world and this gives the U.S. an incomparable edge in competing with Europe and China. That’s one of the reasons our economy has recovered so much faster than that of the rest of the world. Yes – we’ve had terrorist attacks here in Boston and San Bernardino, but those pale in comparison with 9-11 under Dubya. And as has now emerged, that attack could have been stopped before it was executed!

It is truly pathetic that someone as ignorant and unaware of the consequences of another partie’s actions can exist in today’s USA. If there is truly someone who has just fallen off the turnip truck or has spent their whole miserable existence living in a closet that individual is Sharon Inman. God help the poor SOB being the defendant in a trial where Ms Inman sits on the jury. At judgement time, if this was a trial involving a capital crime, the other eleven jurors in the room with Sharon would be beyond angry. Trying to deal with an intellect as imbecilic as hers could convince some to actually contemplate suicide.

Wayne says
Sharon and Alicia must be two of the people who benefit from all of Barry’s handouts. He is by the worst POTUS ever. This country is more divisive than it was when he took office. Not only is the USA heading towards a complete train wreck, our foreign policy makes George Bush look like Henry Kissinger. Terrorists thrive now and the nations we helped “liberate” thumb their noses at us……
The Equalizer says
Wayne – Those nations we helped ‘liberate’ were still bound by the shackles of history long before we invaded and will remain so long after we left. In our own civil war, how would we have liked it if another foreign power tried to intervene? Yes, folks are dying there, but apart from ISIS (who everyone fears or hates), do you think we should get involved in ALL the ongoing crises in the mid-east?
We wasted too many good American lives, left too much blood in the deserts. If we send troops on the ground as some seem to want, how long before we become the target again and the Shia and Sunni stop fighting each other and start fighting us? I would suggest that recent Iraqi victories against ISIS validates our current policy of using our air power against ISIS strongholds while advising the Iraqi army. After all, isn’t it time they stood up for themselves instead of relying on Uncle Sam?
Alicia Salinas says
Wayne you are doing a great job, keep repeating the republican rhetoric, that’s how they like you, too dumb to know better.

No-one is ‘giving’ Iran money. That is simply money that was held in ‘trust’ during the years of sanctions. Are you suggesting that the U.S. should steal that money … ha-ha. Not the way to make friends and influence people!
Iran is a rising power and if we wish to develop them as trading partners, something the U.S. has long excelled at doing, we need to treat then fairly. Would you prefer Putin’s influence?
Look at old enemies like Japan and Germany – we now count them among our allies. In the course of time, Iran too will become an ally and even a friend of Israel. (In fact, DNA analysis shows that most Iranians have a considerable amount of DNA from Israel dating back to their conquest of Palestine and their ‘relocation’ of many educated Jews to present-day Iran).

Well when you have a Muslim President who is a megalomaniac, pathological liar, narcissist, and hates the Country he took an Oath to protect what would you expect? Remember, Muslims are taught that it is OK to us infidels to attain their goals. So why would anyone believe anything this guy says. He only calls himself a Christian because he needed that to help him get elected.
But many of his actions and deeds tell quite a different story. He is the greatest terrorist threat to this Country bar none.

Islam is like the bubonic plague, black death, of the past, except it is a political/terrorist plague that is infecting the entire world. And destabilizing it. So far not as bad as the Nazi/Japan Axis of WWII but on that road. Also Obama and his crock tears. How many abortions, the slaughter of unborn children have occurred during his watch in the WH. And how many black children didn’t matter to their mother’s to be due to abortion? If they don’t matter to their mothers, why would they matter to anyone else?
Alicia Salinas says
Terry get over it, an abortion is a woman’s right, not for you to undermine their need.
The Equalizer says
Ooops – I thought for a while you were describing Christianity and the Spanish Inquisition. All religions seem to have this dark side, borne I would guess of the need to create fear, ensure conformity within the group, and establish the delusion that there’s only one way to heaven, and that is through it. I always laugh at those who quote the Old Testament regarding homosexuality but forget about the admonition to slaughter one’s child that disobeys, or to stone adulterers to death.
Fortunately a vast majority of Muslims and Christians are great folk (with the possible exception of right-wing demagogues 🙂 )
Marion says
Do you know what is most upsetting about this Commander and Chief..
The first African American president who did not encourage his own folks out of poverty but taught them government can supply their needs. Making them believe the rich are responsible for all their problems. HELLO! If it were not for the generosity of the rich where would we be? There would be no FREE-ANYTHING if everyone had the SAME- NOTHING! Like it or not “Money is the grease that keeps the world going” and if it were not possible for anyone to achieve RICH, we all go down. If anyone has a problem with RICH, GET OVER IT NOW! You have every opportunity to succeed, provided you take the steps necessary to achieve your own American dream!
How is it that we allowed this man with his words of hope to damage the ethnicity of all the folks, by dividing and pitting them against one another? Are we blind to realize that he did the same with political party’s, social status, and religious affiliation… This young dynamic,smooth talking man who was supposed to bring HOPE to CHANGE to America has brought change, but corrupted hope for a better future in America. His Executive orders bend the truths that we hold dear to the Constitution of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Now as he comes to the end of his reign will we be held hostage to his ideals?…Will another take us where we want to go or continue on the road of disaster, which is sure to come if we continue with more of the same?… It is written, My people are destroyed for LACK of KNOWLEDGE!… smarten up! Also, it is written “I lay before you life and death! Hint- CHOOSE LIFE! The future is in OUR hands! WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! My dear people, get knowledge and choose life……
Alicia Salinas says
Marion what do you mean by this. “His Executive orders bend the truths that we hold dear to the Constitution of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. ” What disastrous world do you live in. Wasn’t 2015 better for you then 2007 or 2008?
The Equalizer says
OMG Marion – The very words you write would seem to advocate a return to feudal times, to that era before the rise of the middle class, back to a system of patronage where a few crumbs from a rich man’s table are scattered to the plebs below. Capitalism works to mutual advantage by pooling the investments of many middle class folks to build new factories, and create new sources of wealth that all can enjoy.
And it was not Obama who created ethnic strife … can you recall Limbaugh’s “Puff the magic negro”? Once again we have witnessed the rise of such follies among the southern states who seem unaware that their great wealth was created on the backs of the slaves in the cotton fields of yesteryear.
Knowledge, I agree, is key but it has to be accurate, unswayed by the opinionating of Faux News and the Limbaugh-dancers of Clear Channel.

Marion, I am with you 100%. We have a dictator who is a Muslim communist and want to destroy the power of America.
Never mind he and his family went in vacation for 2 weeks and spent 15 millions of taxpayers money.
This is what communists do when they steal poor people’s money for their own advantage.
Jerry says
MARION, I agree with most of what you said. But I was more interested in the follow up comment of EQUALIZER, The black spokes person. I think he/she is a plant to keep the conversation going and the constant defense of obama and how obama has done no wrong. But forgive him he is defending his race and there right to continue to keep taking handouts. Today it was reported that 2/3 of the budget is for social programs and some where around 15% or 20% goes to the defense budget. Another one of obama’s plans to destroy America.Those social programs are are minorities illegals and refugees one of the only success of obama.

Allow me to tell you a little story please . A short few years ago , I was 302’d out of an act of revenge . A family member told the hospital I tried to commit suicide after seeing me take my prescribed medication . It was a new medication for which I had a severe allergic reaction to . This was all proven to the doctor . What did I do to them . A few months before , they had gotten drunk and was fighting with my niece and daughter . They had gotten a little out of hand with them . Our city has a place for alcoholics to seek help . I called the police and asked them to take them to this place . They said they would . However , that didn’t happen . Instead , they took them to jail , and they spent a week in the prison . I proved to them , in front of the police officer that that was not where they were supposed to take them . It didn’t matter to them . When they found their opportunity for revenge , they took it . How do I know this was an act of revenge ? While I was there , the person in question made the comment ; at least I can smoke where I’m at , they didn’t have that luxury . Even though , my family member did not show up for the hearing , I proved to the doctor I did not attempt suicide , he released 20 minutes later ; my life was still ruined . They cost me far more than my freedom for a week . They cost me my job , my freedom , and my right to carry a gun ; and my future career. It turned out , instead of admitting on paper that a mistake had been made ; the doctor stated I had a drinking , so he was right to 302 me . ANYBODY who knows me , knows I drink one drink on New Years Eve . Yeah , that’s a drinking problem alright . I am almost 61 years old now . Someone attacks me , breaks into my home , points a gun at me , I’m screwed . Because of the already screwed up gun laws ; because of my 302 on lies ; I lost my right to own a gun . Special circumstances weren’t included in the gun law . So do I think they should make gun laws stricter ? Absolutely not , the ones they already have are too strict ! I’ve never broken the law , I’ve never been in jail / prison ; I’ve never done drugs . I’m not allowed to protect myself , or work in any job that requires carrying a gun . Which by the way , a half a dozen people asked me to run for Constable a few years back . I had to turn it down , because I can’t carry a gun . My dream at the time was to drive one of the brinks trucks . Needless to say , that dream was squashed because of the gun law . So there you have it , there’s my opinion on a stricter gun law .

What is amazing, Alicia, The Equalizer, totally fed up, Diane; and you don’t even realize it. The text of each of your statements is obvious. One and the same. Nice try girls!
Charles l Williams says
This is to Alicia,Equalizer,Diane, & Sharoa The other day I met a young man who was14 years old . . This young man has more
notelge about whats going on in these States that we America you people . he has may a point in reading about our country then you have . he was the most up to date of the problems that we have in our country when you have . I wonder if you have ever open a book about the laws of our country? From what you are saying I wonder just how far that you went to school . you look like you may have finlish the first grade. I far one don’t need a union to keep a job. If a company and myself don’t agree
I can just go find a other company to work for . Bu t the main thing would be if I did my work and was a good worker I would not need a union. So before you say any thing about my typing I am not a typyest o r a speller . that’s what paid a good girl good money to do for me. How if you want to work your ass off to make money and then let the government take part of it a way and give it to some one that don’t work and living off the government wih a government check each month , I would say you should vote for the crook that is running on the dem. ticket. If you are so dam smart I guess you would like the to have control of your live in the future. that is that they are trying to do , so I wish you would just get a few good books about our history and read if yo can. You may have a change of mine, but I don’t thank , be cause you have a closed mine and can’t see past your nose
Jerry says
Charles Williams, You are correct about your spelling and being a typist, you are not very good at it. However if I understood right you paid a girl to type your comment, if I were you I would find that girl and get my money back. Then if I were you I would get hooked on phonics and do my own typing once you master the language JUST A THOUGHT.
Charles l Williams says
You know that’s is a big problem , the new papers , news tv will no let the true be told

President Obama’s state of the union address was a perfect example of why nothing positive has been accomplished under his watch. The president started his speech off by hitting all the hot button issues which divide our nation. Hopefully the president’s replacement will be a competent, law-abiding citizen who loves our country.
I found nothing inspiring about tonight’s speech. It was just another laundry list of unpopular and flawed initiatives. President Obama’s legacy is that he ignored the Constitution, ran an administration which trampled the constitutional rights of the citizens, exhibited incompetence on a regular basis, and presided over diminishing America’s role around the world. The only positive thing I can say about Barack Obama is that on Jan. 20, 2017 he will be out of power.

Doctors and Guns
Think about this:
a. The number of physicians in the US is 700,000.
b. Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year is 120,000.
c. Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171. (US Dept. of Health
Human Services)
Then think about this:
a. The number of gun owners in the US is 80,000,000.
b. The number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) is 1,500.
c. The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than
gun owners.
FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT
LEAST ONE DOCTOR.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before
this gets out of hand.
As a public health measure I have withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear
that the shock could cause people to seek medical attention.
