Solar Storm Approaches

During the past two days, the Sun has had two bursts of radiation called a coronal mass ejections, or CMEs.

The one that was emitted Tuesday is supposed to arrive early tomorrow, Sept. 12, and create a G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm, according to the National Weather Service Space Weather Prediction Center.

The one that was emitted Wednesday is expected to arrive arriving later in the day and combine with Tuesday’s CME hence creating a G3 (strong)  geomagnetic storm

The G3 storm watch will continue through Sept. 13 with G1 (minor) storming expected to occur into Sept. 14.

The authorities don’t seem to expect any problems that can’t be handled, however, and have not as of Thursday evening issued any advisories for the average citizen.

Obama Performance No Fireside Chat

Last evening the American people were yet again treated to a performance given by President Obama. His speech used the usual collection of patriotic catch phrases to win over the audience to his much anticipated “strategy” for ending the genocide in the middle east. It was not a strategy. It was a political check list. Consult with Congress, check. Consult with UN, check. Consult with military advisers, oops.

His robot-like persona struggled uncomfortably to use American euphemisms in the right context. Think Mork from Ork on meth. Thirteen years after September 11 he remains incapable of projecting an understanding of American culture and honor. If he’s got it, he’s doing a hell of a job of hiding it.

Note to constitutional professor: America is a republic. Mysteriously they didn’t teach that anywhere between the madrasah and Harvard. Pretty sure they taught it at one of Sarah Palins alma maters. Read the text in parcels; spare yourself the audio. Only so much pomposity and pretense can be digested at one sitting.

He’s no FDR. This was no fireside chat. It was a campaign promise. It was a gift for those Democrat incumbents struggling to hold on to their Senate seats in Novembers mid term elections. THIS is his priority. Avoiding telegraphing his punches to a deadly enemy for the safety and success of our military is not.

Its purposes were devoid of connection to the realistic needs of a REPUBLIC under threat. His dishonesty and duplicity were breathtaking;

“And our own safety, our own security, depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this nation and uphold the values that we stand for –- timeless ideals that will endure long after those who offer only hate and destruction have been vanquished from the Earth.”

versus

“It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil.”

McCain Spanks Carney

Many conservatives hate Sen. John McCain, but, immigration issues aside, he’s always been someone I’ve kind of liked.

His first campaign stop after winning the 2008 Republican nomination,  may have been the Springfield (Pa) Country Club.  I went to write it up and take pictures. I was waved into the hall. Nobody bothered to ask for identification or check my briefcase.

I found a spot in the press section but McCain was too far away for my inexpensive digital camera so I imposed myself in the pool photographers section and and ended up maybe two feet from where the Senator was speaking.

I got some nasty comments from the pool photogs but again, nobody checked my ID, and no big guys hauled me out of there. I could have smacked McCain on his knee a dozen times.

Anyway, I always thought his attitude was gutsy and unpretentious and I didn’t feel bad about voting for him in the fall.

Which brings up the debate he had on CNN last night, Sept. 10, with former Obama press poodle Jay Carney after the President’s speech on dealing with the breakdown in Middle East.

McCain spanked Carney. He called him on the lies he was spewing and pointed out harshly how it was Obama himself that was responsible for the turmoil.

It was clearly something Carney was not used to. If the press did what McCain did last night the world would not be as dangerous today.

Of course, if McCain won in 2008 that would be just as true.

Here is the video. It’s kind of appropriate for Sept. 11.

Classy LeSean McCoy

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy went to PYT, a burger joint on North Hancock Street in Philadelphia  with some friends for lunch on Sept. 8.

The party was reportedly loud and rude and ended up leaving a 20 cent tip on a $61 check.

Rob Knelly, the lucky waiter, took a photo of the receipt and put it online for the world to see.

Classy LeSean McCoy

Was Knelly just a crappy waiter who deserved a bad tip? If it comes down to having to chose between a waiter and an NFL player as to whose word to accept, we think we’ll go with the waiter.

Frankly,  Knelly should just be grateful he didn’t serve the meal in an elevator.

McCoy’s comment on the matter to the Philadelphia Daily News was “It’s bull—-“.

Corbett Says Common Core Will End

Embattled Gov. Tom Corbett released a statement yesterday, Sept. 8, in which he called for public review of the Common Core plan being implemented in Pennsylvania.

“Though Common Core began as a state-led initiative to ensure our public schools met the educational standards needed in the 21st century economy, the process has been overly influenced by the federal government,” Corbett said.  “Common Core has become nothing more than a top-down takeover of the education system.  It is nothing more than Obamacare for education.”

The release says this is the “final phase in his nearly three year effort to permanently roll back” the plan, which it says was implemented by Ed Rendell.

Whatever.

We say better late than never.

We say you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind’s blowing.

And we guess we won’t feel bad about voting for him now.

In other election news, Democrat gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf has edited out of his ads an endorsement by Washington County (Pa) attorney and former Common Please Court judicial candidate Alan Benyak after it was revealed he appeared as “Mr. Cannibal” in a movie called “Breeding Farm” which has been described as a “twisted porn” film.

There are descriptions of the movie available and of what Benyak does, but we think we will leave them out.

Those crazy Democrats. The entire party should be just put to sleep out of mercy. Mercy for the nation, that is.

Males Rape More Likely In Military

More than half the victims of sexual assault in the U.S. military are men, according to the Pentagon, and sexual assaults on males occur 38 times  a day in the services.

It should be noted that the perpetrators are invariably other men.

The premise of the gay rights movement is that those who desire same sex are born that way and have no interest in  relations with those who aren’t.

The premise obviously has severe holes. Strangely, pointing them out is harshly discouraged by our information gatekeepers. A young man expressing a concern about this, in fact, will face condemnation for being “homophobic.”

Well, it looks like the phobia has a pretty strong foundation.

GQ.com has a difficult to read article about male rape in the military.  The stories concern incidents before Obama changed the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy against the recommendation of many experts.

And further, most — albeit not all — of the stories concern peer-on-peer assaults rather than intimidation or coercion by commanders, which may be the biggest concern about those who object to the change in policy.

Still the long-accepted myth that is the basis of the gay rights movement should now be considered to be definitively debunked.

Comcast Helps Little Guy?

Comcast Building Lobby Comcast Helps Little Guy?

The lobby of the Comcast Building in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia-based Comcast, the world’s largest communications company, wants to become even larger by spending $45.2 billion to buy Time Warner Cable and become even larger.

It is telling those who must approve this monopolizing move that such a merger would be good for the little guy — the independent channels like RFD-TV and Veria Living.

The little guys generally think otherwise.

“It sounds wonderful. But when you peel back the onion . . . it’s really nothing at all,” said  Patrick Gottsch of RFD-TV. “Very few [independent] channels have full distribution, other than BBC World News and Al Jazeera.”

Which leads to another question: why does Al Jazeera, a propagandist site for terrorists, get full distribution?

Wonder if Congress is taking testimony about Comcast’s customer service.

Draft Old People For The Military

This off the internet is courtesy of Cathy Craddock

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I’m too old to track down terrorists. You can’t be older than 42 to join the military. They’ve got the whole thing backwards.

Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn’t be able to join a military unit until you’re at least 35.

For starters, researchers say 18-year-olds think about sex every ten seconds. Old guys only think about sex a couple of times a month, leaving us more than 280,000 additional seconds per day to concentrate on the enemy.

Young guys haven’t lived long enough to be cranky, and a cranky soldier is a dangerous soldier. ‘My back hurts! I can’t sleep, I’m tired and hungry.’ Were bad-tempered and impatient, and maybe letting us kill some ***hole that desperately deserves it will make us feel better and shut us up for a while…..

An 18-year-old doesn’t even like to get up before 10 a.m.. Old guys always get up early to pee, so what the hell. Besides, like I said, I’m tired and can’t sleep and since I’m already up, I may as well be up killing some fanatical son-of-a-bitch.

If captured we couldn’t spill the beans because we’d forget where we put them. In fact, name, rank, and serial number would be a real brainteaser.

Boot camp would be easier for old guys…. We’re used to getting screamed and yelled at and we’re used to soft food. We’ve also developed an appreciation for guns. We’ve been using them for years as an excuse to get out of the house, away from the screaming and yelling.

They could lighten up on the obstacle course however….. I’ve been in combat and never saw a single 20-foot wall with rope hanging over the side, nor did I ever do any push-ups after completing basic training.

Actually, the running part is kind of a waste of energy, too….. I’ve never seen anyone outrun a bullet.

An 18-year-old has the whole world ahead of him. He’s still learning to shave or to start a conversation with a pretty girl. He still hasn’t figured out that a baseball cap has a brim to shade his eyes, not the back of his head.

These are all great reasons to keep our kids at home to learn a little more about life before sending them off into harm’s way.

Let us old guys track down those terrorists….. The last thing an enemy would want to see is a couple million hacked off old farts with bad attitudes and automatic weapons, who know that their best years are already behind them.

HEY!! How about recruiting Women over 50…. in menopause! You think MEN have attitudes? Ohhhhhhhh my goodness!!! If nothing else, put them on border patrol. They’ll have it secured the first night!

Fake Cellphone Towers, What’s Up With That?

The ultra-secure CryptoPhone 500 came on the market  not that long ago courtesy of ESD America and one of its features is an ability to find things that are not part of the standard cellphone network.

And one of the things it found was  17 fake cellphone towers spread around the country, according to Popular Science.

EDS CEO Les Goldsmith described these towers as “interceptors” which look just like regular cellphone tower but are not part of the official communication network. He said they  allow eavesdropping on calls and text along with pushing spyware to the device.

He said a lot of them were close to military bases. He expressed a concern that perhaps they were not placed by our government but a foreign one such as China something that would be frankly hard to believe possible but for the JV squad now in running our nation’s security.

Note that the 17 were the only ones found.
