The Coyote Principle

My American Legion Post Adjutant and, like me, a Vietnam vet sent me this this afternoon, so I thought I would pass it on.

The Coyote Principle

CALIFORNIA

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor’s dog, then bites the Governor.

The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie “Bambi” and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.

He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.

He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.

The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.

The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a “coyote awareness program” for residents of the area.

The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.

The Governor’s security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes.

PETA protests the coyote’s relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state.

TEXAS

The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.

The buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, my friends,

is why California is broke and Texas is not.

Afterburner with Bill Whittle: ‘Defense Debacle’

In the latest Afterburner video by Bill Whittle entitled “Defense Debacle” he explains how there are actually cuts that can be made to the defense budget and he cites a single example of how $1 trillion can be saved by cancelling just one program. July 16, 2015

The Republicans and Democrats conspired to guaranteed that Iran got everything that they wanted

Congress passed H.R.1191 – Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 on 5/22/2015 and Obama signed it making this public law 114-17 PDF

This bill requires Congress to pass a resolution of disapproval to reject the deal, which would almost certainly be vetoed by Obama. Then, Congress would be required to muster votes from two-thirds of each chamber to override the veto. All the president has to do to force a bad Iran deal on America is keep 34 senators of the Democratic Party or 145 members of Congress on his side which is can do with little effort.

What this legislation did was turn a 67 vote to pass into a 67 vote to stop.

There was no reason to pass this bill so one can only assume the Republicans wanted the deal just as badly as Obama did.

Both NOAA and GISS Have Switched to NOAA’s Unjustifiably Overcooked “Pause-Busting” Sea Surface Temperature Data for Their Global Temperature Products

A bit technical for the average person but the summary is that the IPCC climate models as shown in Figure 10 are now showing that global temperatures should be SIGNIFICANTLY higher than what NOAA and NASA show. The importance of Bob’s work is that the powers to be are making current temperatures unjustly higher than they should be and that even with that there are no even close to what the IPCC climate models say they should be.

Bob’s work is much more complete than the simple model I developed but the results are the same.

Bob Tisdale - Climate Observations

This is the June 2015 Global Surface (Land+Ocean) and Lower Troposphere Temperature Anomaly & Model-Data Difference Update, but in it we’re presenting the new GISS and NCEI surface temperature products…and the UAH lower troposphere temperature data version 6.

The top five reasons, in no particular order, the beltway political establishment, on both sides of the aisle, is terrified of Donald Trump

Re-post from the Powered Wig Society by Thomas Madison July 16, 2015

1. Trump is an outsider. He is not a part of the establishment political machine. Those in the political establishment are not his friends. In fact, he considers the establishment political machine his enemy, because it is! It is the enemy of anyone who is self-employed, from Joe the Plumber to The Donald. It is also the enemy of every American who is not a part of the establishment political machine, which is 99.9999999% of us.

2. Donald Trump is a patriot! He is as real as real gets. No phony baloney, no hedging. Just a genuine love for his country, which is clear in all that he says. There is no stammering when he is answering a question. He answers directly and honestly, and if you don’t like the answer, that is your problem. The problem for the political elite is that the American people do like his answers. In fact, they overwhelmingly love his answers, to which his skyrocketing poll popularity attests.

3. The Donald is beholden to no one! While the establishment politicians court K Street lobbyists for a little ass-kissing campaign coin, to be repaid with special interest favors, Trump does not play that game. He does not need their money. He does not want their money. They make him sick, just as they make all red-blooded American patriots sick. He can easily fund a presidential campaign that no other politician can compete with, and have billions left over.

4. Trump despises political correctness. He doesn’t have a politically correct bone in his body. Well, maybe one. Like all conservatives who are not in the empty suit career parasite class, The Donald finds the sickening beltway preoccupation and convention of political correctness repulsive. And it’s another game he refuses to play. He doesn’t care if you are black, white, Chinese, Mexican, gay, or disabled, you diss him and you are fair game. Charles Krauthammer recently remarked that Trump is “a rodeo clown,” to which The Donald replied, I am being called names “by a guy that can’t buy a pair of pants? Give me a break!”

5. Many of the current political players in DC could find themselves in hot water, maybe prison. The shameless corruption that has become standard business practice in Washington is obvious. Well-hidden, but obvious. Why else would faux conservatives like McConnell and Boner escort every Obama initiative through Congress, leaving the American people stunned and helpless to defend our once great nation against these venal scumbags? I imagine Donald Trump’s choice for Attorney General being Trey Gowdy, or a pit bull patriot like Gowdy. Oh, there would be hell to pay amongst the treasonous louts who have been leading America…. right over a cliff!

Liberty Lost Is Never Regained

A very long read but right on!

Sword At-The-Ready

American Christians by and large apparently cannot read the signs of the times. Tribulation is at our door and a lukewarm church is blind and infected with a fatal case of Normalcy Bias.

The following essay is from a sermon I had given on the July 4th weekend. It is a very long read, as it was a 90 minute sermon but it is what the lukewarm church in America needs to hear at such a time as this.

***

This is not going to be pleasant message and oftentimes the truth is not pleasant. I make no apology for it.

I did not feel like celebrating the 4th of July. Instead I grieved, in anger and bitterness. I’ve known for awhile now in my spirit that America as we knew her is over, and now given the last few weeks, a few more are beginning to see what I have warned about…

PROPHECY IN THE HEADLINES: Iran Deal Setting Stage For Christ’s Return (MUST READ!)

I agree with what is written here as it is fairly obvious that Obama is a Shi’a Muslim; actions speak louder than words!

The Oil for Your Lamp

If you are a skeptic, I challenge you to work your way through this entire post — including the material in every link I provide — and ask yourself how so many different prophecies, written by so many different people separated by so many years can suddenly start to align without having to be forced unless there is something to them after all?

Now, to those believers who may not be fully aware of what prophecy actually says, understand that Obama is rushing us toward the Day of the Lord. Here is how the events of our time align with the Lord’s prophecies.

VA says it may shut down hospitals to close $2.5B budget gap

They spend the money they get on themselves with good salaries and bonuses for doing a good job (on taking care of themselves) and a few pennies here and there on the vets. Remember agent orange and the burn pits how many died before they would admit there was a problem.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

The Department of Veterans Affairs may have to shut down some hospitals next month if Congress does not address a $2.5 billion shortfall for the current budget year, VA officials warned Monday.
The VA told Congress that it needs to cover shortfalls caused by an increased demand by veterans for health care, including costly treatments for hepatitis C. The agency also is considering furloughs, hiring freezes and other steps to close a funding gap for the budget year that ends Sept. 30.
The VA said it wants authority to use up to $3 billion from the new Veterans Choice program to close the budget gap, with as much as $500 million going to treat hepatitis C. A single pill for the liver-wasting viral infection can cost up to $1,000.
The Choice program, the centerpiece of a VA overhaul approved last year, makes it easier for veterans to receive federally paid…
