The Most Important Thing You Will Ever Read

My friends, I must make you aware of a matter of the utmost importance. Several months ago I started this Blog as an attempt to communicate my thoughts and ideas to as many people as possible. I have spoken on many issues including health care, the expanding budget deficit, and environmental issues among others. But nothing, I repeat nothing, is as important as the subject matter of this Blog.

This Blog concerns a world leader who has made outrageous predictions including strife between nations, famine, and earthquakes. His followers are fanatical and have been tortured and even died in his service. They believe there can be no peace without him and those who are not with him are against him. He has requested all to follow him and has even stated that there is no life without him. He has stated that those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned because they have not believed

This leader was never elected to office but was born into it. The chronology of this event is as follows:


In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. ⁵He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. ¹⁰But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. ¹¹Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had seen , which were just as they had been told.

Many of you know that this world leader as Jesus Christ. He is called the King of Kings .
His words follow as true today as when they were spoken.

"When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

"Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven."

Please consider the birth of this world leader over 2000 years ago and his importance to your life. The calender on your desk shouts his birthday with the passing of every year. Is there anything more important than recognizing and believing in the birth , death , and resurrection of Jesus Christ an accepting him as your personal savior. Nothing could be more important.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Jan 31, 2012 Barack Obama Loses Election To Second Term

Connecting the dots and thinking outside the box. These are things I take pride in doing my day job as a construction manager. Today I make my most prolific prognostication as a Blogger using these same instincts.

I am predicting that the special election for the First Congressional district of Oregon being held January 31, 2012 goes to the GOP then President Obama will drop out of his bed to be reelected for President.

The special election is being held to fill the seat of disgraced Dem. Congressman David Wu who resigned in the wake of accusations that he made unwanted sexual advances on the daughter of a campaign donor and friend.

The 1st district in Oregon is by no means an easy race for the GOP to win. In fact in the 2010 election Mr. Wu garnered 57% of the vote. Like CA the big Tea Party red wave rushed to the Oregon border and stopped, but even in 2010 the Oregon 1st race was held up as a potential bellweather election with national implications.

There are others who will make this prediction over the next couple of months and you will hear it more often as this election approaches.

Just remember where you heard it first.

Everythings Free In CA!!

To All : Just wanted to inform you on what the Democrat Controlled State Legislature and Gov Brown have been up to

1. They just passed the dream act not only do illegals get in state tuition they can get financial aid or go to college for free.

2.. They also changed the application process for food stamps so you no longer need to be fingerprinted to obtain them . This will make it much easier for illegal aliens to get them.

3. Policemen at DUI checkpoints can no longer check to see if you have a driver's license or auto insurance. If you are an illegal alien and are stopped no problem. Hey why the heck does anyone in CA need insurance or a driver's license?

4. The radical Hispanic caucus in the CA legislature is poised to pass legislation reenacting affirmative action at CA colleges. Illegals will not only get a free education but go to the front of the line at the best universities.

We May AS Well Put A Sign On The State Border Saying

ILLEGALS WELCOME

The Writing On the Wall

The Writing on the Wall

Over the last few days I have seen a growing event known as "The Occupy Wall Street Movement" Participating in that movement is a rabble of socialists , communists and anarchists taking direction from Van Jones and International Answer. These are the useful idiots as described by Karl Marx featuring a rent a mob funded by MoveOn.org and Geroge Soros. Joining in this motley crew are the leeches from the SEIU and government public employee unions.

Our President tacitly encourages the protesters by fanning the smoldering cinders of liberal discontent. Will this raise the flames of riots?

This is not going to end well but how bad is anyone's guess.

Following is an excerpt from the book of Daniel detailing the events of the night before the fall of the great Babylonian empire.

1King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. 2While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father^a had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. 3So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

5Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.

7The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers^b and diviners to be brought and said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”

8Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant. 9So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled.

10The queen,^c hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “O king, live forever!” she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. King Nebuchadnezzar your father—your father the king, I say—appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners. 12This man Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.”

13So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah? 14I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom. 15The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it. 16Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”

17Then Daniel answered the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means.

18“O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. 19Because of the high position he gave him, all the peoples and nations and men of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. 20But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and sets over them anyone he wishes.

22“But you his son,^d O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this. 23Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. 24Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.

25“This is the inscription that was written:

mene, mene, tekel, parsin^e

26“This is what these words mean

God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end

Does anyone else see a correlation????

No Aunt Bee For Me

Last week New Jersey Governor Chris Christie traveled to CA to make a much anticipated speech at the Reagan Library potentially announcing his candidacy for President. No announcement was made but in the audience one of his biggest fans was in attendance. That fan was non other than the newly named head of Hewlett Packard and former CA GOP Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. Meg spent 75 million of her own money running an incredibly inept ( OK Stupid) campaign against the liberal dinosaur Jerry Brown and lost.

If you look at the picture of the loveable Aunt Bea from the old Andy Griffith TV show and you will notice the striking resemblance to Meg. You can now stop laughing except for one thing, Meg wants Gov. Christie to be the GOP nominee. The day before the speech Gov. Christie met with Aunt Bee and several big money players trying to talk him into running.

Thursday of this week Gov. Christie made a press release that he will be making a major announcement and that he has invited "major donors" to appear with him. Normally one would say they are appearing with" major supporters".

No doubt Aunt Bee will be there for the the photo op with other GOP big money players.
Sorry but this Tea Party guy says " No Aunt Bee for me!!!"

I Am Jane Jamison

I was recently saddened to hear of the death of conservative news-blogger Jane Jamison.
Jane Jamison was not her real name in fact it was an alias she found necessary to protect her privacy in the "tolerant" bay area.

Jane's first postings were links to news stories on the Bay Area Patriots Yahoo Group under the name LuvMyCountry. In August of 2009 at the same time I started my little Blog she started UnCoverage.Net. Over the last two years I watched as her little Blog grew into a big one. My little blog remained little and I am fine with that. Jane may have been an attorney by day but her true passion was blogging. I suffer from a slight case of insomnia and when ever I checked into Facebook after midnight Jane would be up. In fact most of her postings were done after midnight. If you are up at wee hours sometimes you stumble onto new stories before anyone else does. The couple of times that happened to me I sent my leads to Jane.

Until Jane's passing I never really understood the significance of the name UnCoverage.
The bay area has numerous old media outlets and all of them are deaf dumb and blind to any viewpoint that is not liberal. If you gather 20 hippies together to protest for affordable housing you are assured a report on the local evening news. Gather two thousand people downtown next to a TV station to rally for a conservative cause you will be ignored. Jane discovered and covered news-stories no one else would. She often rallied the troops urging us to show up for rallies and to contact our representatives for conservative causes. Many of these causes were in fact lost causes in the liberal People Republic of CA but Jane urged us to mount our steeds and charge the wind mills like Don Quixote.

After the election of 2010 Jane grew continually disillusioned with liberal CA and in fact wanted to move to TX. With the real estate market continuing to suck she was unable to fullfill that dream. Jane did not do a lot of non political postings but when she did it was as an avid fan of the University of Nebraska football team. I invited her to speak at my tea party but she declined stating she feared attacks from liberals and that she had her car keyed twice at events. In May she sent me a birthday greeting on Facebook "Happy Birthday Patriot" Coming from Jane that was a real compliment.

On 8-26 Jane made her final posting saying she was going to be away for a few days to deal with a family emergency. Over the last few weeks I checked her site looking forward to her return. After the Solyndra scandal broke I grew even more anxious for her return knowing she would find the "hidden dirt" on this story no one else could. I have been extremely busy at work and I only stumbled unto news of Jane's passing last night and was shocked she had passed away on 8-30.

Over the last couple of years at tea party rally s many people have held up signs saying
"I am John Galt" from the book Atlas Shrugs. This 6-3 300# guy may hold up a sign at the next rally I am attending saying " I am Jane Jamison" maybe you should too. If there is a tea party table in Heaven Jane is sitting there.

Remember the Maine???

Two years ago while visiting an antique store in Monterrey CA. I came upon a Crystal ship setting on a table. The ship had etched into its sides the words "Remember the Maine" It sat upon a piece of paper which said the article was for for sale for $50.00 with the interesting and sarcastic comment " Is there really anybody left who actually remembers the Maine??"

The USS Maine had been sent to Havana, Cuba to protect U.S. interests during the Cuban revolt against Spain.On the evening of 15 February 1898, she suddenly exploded, and swiftly sank, killing nearly three quarters of her crew. Though then, as now, the cause and responsibility for her sinking were unclear; popular opinion in the U.S. blamed Spain, and the sinking (popularized in the phrase Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!) was one of the precipitating events of the Spanish-American War. Her sinking remains the subject of speculation, with various authors proposing that she sank due to the results of an undetected fire in one of her coal bunkers or that she was the victim of a navel mine.

It was America's original day of infamy whose citizen's flames of rage were fanned by the yellow rag journalism of William Randolf Hearst. As a child I remember the date of 2-15 was still being identified on calenders as Remember the Maine Day. Now it is reduced to obscurity as the start of a war most Americans are not even aware we fought.

What does this have to do with anything? I have watched the remembrance and significance of Dec. 7th Pearl Harbor Day fading with each passing year. It has become politically incorrect to remember an attack by a Nation that provides the pickup truck in your driveway. Unlike the Maine the sunken USS Arizona sits as both a memorial and tomb on our native soil and thousands of tourists visit it every year.

I wonder in 100 years from now if we will remember 911? When the children of the victims who died that awful day themselves pass into the great beyond will anyone remember?

The real question is will there still be a great nation known as the United States of America left to remember all of those who have fought and died in her defense or will we be remembered like the Maine??

Taking Your Ball And Going Home

To those of us old enough to remember some of the fondest memories of our youth was playing various sandlot sports. My personal favorites included touch football and softball. Occasionally an all out argument would break out over a perceived rule violation such as touching a tree on the side line without actually stepping over the line or whether the rock which the foul ball hit was in foul territory. Generally these arguments were settled after 10 to 15 min of intense negotiations. In some rare instances the game abruptly stopped when the player who owned the ball said " I'm taking my ball and I am going home"

What does the above have to do with anything? Well ,recently many Americans including myself have been purchasing precious metals in one form or an other simply because we do not trust the financial markets or even the American Dollar with Obama at the helm.

The money invested in precious metals goes to the purchase of those precious metals and nothing else. There are no mutual fund stock shares to be pumped , there are no investment decisions to be made by a board of directors and there is no investment capital to be loaned by bankers. The precious metals investment simply sits there oblivious to rest of the financial world.

Many of us have decided " to take our ball and go home"

In Praise of Jimmy Carter

In the late 1970s a peanut farmer from Georgia was our President

On Sunday morning he walked to church with a Bible under his arm to teach his Sunday school class at a Baptist church.

His brother hawked Billy Beer and his mother was attacked by a rabbit in a row boat. His wife conveyed the grace of southern gentility.

When the hostages were taken he burrowed into the White House never leaving the DC area. He did not want to be accused of not caring about our national crisis.

When the price of gas raised to the unbelievable cost of one dollar a gallon he championed coal gasification and shale oil projects to make us energy independent .

When he spoke of the spirit malaise in America we knew he was right. ( We also knew he was the source of much of the malaise)

When a rescue mission by our troops failed he notified our nation and he took his medicine as we took ours.


Now we have a community organizer as our President.

He seldom attends church and when he does it espouses black liberation theology.

His family uses Air Force One as a shuttle to one exotic vacation locale to the next. His wife preaches the virtues of fresh vegetables to children while noshing on burgers in private.

When the stock market tumbled and our bond rating was down graded he continued to attend fund raisers and play golf.

When the price of gas approached gas approached $4.00 he did nothing but continue to tie the hands of domestic energy producers.

When he spoke of shared sacrifice and evils of tax breaks for corporate jets. We simply just turned off the TV set.

Ah Yes ...President Jimmy Carter.... My memories of him are getting fonder every day.

Do What is Right For America

To the Congress and Senate

As you vote on whatever final version of the debt reduction bill that comes before you I would ask you to consider the following.

Forget if the vote is good for the GOP or Democrats, forget if the vote will or will not help reelect Barack Obama. Forget if voting for or against the bill will cost your reelection.

Please remember as you vote to look above as you vote for the ghosts of Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson looking down on you.

Please also keep this in mind. Will those who died at Gettysburg, the Argonne Forest, and Normandy be satisfied that their sacrifice was sufficient for your actions today?

I would ask you to consider one thing and one thing only. Is voting for or against this bill the right thing to do for America's future?

Please pray for guidance.

The Rubicon

Dear Speaker Boehner


I am waiting to see what comes of this debt ceiling debate and what I am hearing from the US Senate is not making me happy. The plan developed by the three GOP Senators meeting with three Democrats and kicking the debt ceiling can down the road will not satisfy me. I must admit you have something to worry about and it is not the Democrats. You see I am your worst nightmare a Tea Party member with a Visa in his wallet. If the GOP acquiesces to the Democrats I will be forced to contribute money to Tea Party Republicans who will run against you and your cohorts in the 2012 primary elections. This is the Rubicon for the GOP and the Tea Party. Please don't cross it.

Atlas Shrugs in California I recently attended a local County Supervisors meeting where they unanimously approved Climate Action Plan and a Sea Level Rise Strategic Plan. This was in spite of the fact that more than 20 people provided public comment in opposition to approving these plans and that vast majority of people in attendance at the meeting were strongly opposed to approval of the plans. These plans will place more than 100,000 acres of land under the control of environmental bureaucrats and further encumber our local economy with draconian regulations and red tape. Our board of supervisors should have been painfully aware that in January of this year Copart relocated its corporate headquarters from Fairfield CA to Dallas. This type of relocation is not unusual; in fact the Orange County Register recently published an article listing 129 large corporations that are in process of relocating out of our state. In 2010 the last large aerospace contractor, Northrop Grumman left the state and Toyota Motors abandoned the NUMMI plant in Fremont. It's no mystery why companies are continuing to leave California: High taxes, undue regulation, workers' comp costs, a legal environment stacked against businesses, and lengthy and costly construction permitting requirements. The reality is that in county seats in Nevada, Arizona, and I am sure as heck in Texas, no one else is even discussing environmental boondoggle plans such as these much less approving them. The sad truth is these plans were approvedby the board of supervisors, not for the good of the citizens, but simply to prevent the state of California from suing our County for not complying with state mandates. In the 1950s a novel was written concerning a future United States where the free enterprise system had been crippled by excessive taxation and regulation and where people were slaves to government. Finally, the captains of industry simply gave up and left. The name of that novel was "Atlas Shrugged." The reality is that in locally we have in excess of 12 percent unemployment, our schools are laying off teachers and our state and local governments are verging on insolvency. Today, Atlas is shrugging in California. A Voice In The Wilderness PS: To my fans . I had total knee replacement surgery six weeks ago and I am recovering well.

Its Part of Your Pay Grade

Recently after all the brouhaha concerning Barack Obama's birth certificate several well known celebrities have attributed racism as the reason for also wanting to see his college records. They say that those of us who want to see those records want to diminish his accomplishments by finding out if he obtained his advance degrees as a result of affirmative action polices.

For God's sake nothing could be further from the truth. He is the first African American to become President of the United States. There is nothing that can diminish that accomplishment for himself or for our nation. If indeed he obtained Presidency with the help of affirmative action then there can be no higher praise given to that program.

I am 53 years old and no one really cares if I made an F in differential equations at WV Tech 33 years ago. If I apply for a job the fact that I have college degree may be verified but my grade transcripts never will be looked at. Not so for anyone who becomes President of the United States. In two hundred years the signed credit card receipt from Bed Bath and Beyond by Barack Obama may be priceless. Book shelves ( If books still exist) will be filled with books chronicling every event in Mr. Obama's life.

The fact is when anyone becomes President their life becomes an open book and we suddenly take an interest in their life both public and private. I don't care if Mr. Obama made a C in American history but I definitely would care if he took multiple classes from professors who were known to be political extremists or if his writings in college expressed views which are far out of the political mainstream. .

During the 2008 presidential campaign when asked about at what point a baby gets “human rights,” Obama ,said: “… whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”

As part and parcel to the pay grade of President of the United States and we should expect nothing more or less than total access to all his college records.

To Boldly Go No Where

Today the space shuttle Discovery blasted off on its final mission into space. Two more space shuttle launches remain. The American manned space missions that started 50 years ago with Alan Shepard's 50 mile flight will end.

I remember like yesterday my most prized toy when I was six years old. It was a metal Gemini space capsule which spitted sparks out of its end and had a red blinking light. I also remember sending a letter to my local cartoon show host ( Who went by the name of Mr. Cartoon) to get a genuine Mercury Red-stone Rocket balloon. The balloon when filled with air and released would rise vertically off the floor like a rocket and would hover up and down.

Every American child dreamed of being an Astronaut and we were regularly told at school we could do anything as Americans because we were the greatest country in the world.

In science class we would watch the Disney movie Man In Space. We listened in awe to rocket scientist Werner von Braun telling us about the amazing future we would have traveling to distant planets. On Thursday nights I tasted the delight of Star Trek and the universe seemed smaller.

On a hot summer night tens of millions witnessed the image of Neil Armstrong jumping down to the moon on the screen of a black and white television. We rose the next morning to read with pride the three inch headline

MEN ON MOON!!!

In Jr. High the cracking scratchy radio account of Apollo Thirteens amazing safe return home was aired over the school PA system. In 1989 we all cried a tear or two when the first shuttle Challenger exploded into pieces.

But that was then when America was great. There now is no money for the future of American manned space flight. We in fact are no longer told that an we are an exceptional nation or people. Money is now best spent on regulations , bureaucrats and public employee unions.

In the future If we are lucky we might be able to catch a ride to space with the Russians , Chinese or Indians.

For as a nation we Americans are now going no where fast.
