Rich TAkes! on Obamanet, ISIS, Rudy and Jobs For Jihadis

…Let’s see, I’ve taken over the banking system, autos, student loans, decreed unconstitutional illegal immigrant work permits and will soon issue millions of new social security numbers to illegal aliens, ran legal US guns to Mexico illegally, ran illegal military arms to Libya and Syria, shut down hundreds of coal mines and power plants, So.. internetencouraged the IRS to hassle my opponents, refused to approve the Keystone XL pipeline (yeah I know, that’s a first), shut down deep-water oil wells which Clinton approved, spat on Bibi (figuratively speaking) and have been negotiating with Iran so that they can build their own nukes…How can I fundamentally transform America even more today? I know, I’ll take control of the internet using an arcane law that FDR signed, I’ll just have my three commissioners over at the FCC declare the internet a public utility, that should do it! We can’t have free enterprise, free innovation, and free speech without government control now, can we? …

~Barack Hussein Obama~

From the link: Losing the Internet

“This happy cycle can go on indefinitely until eventually the the world is divided into two distinct spaces: a West completely crisscrossed by a “free and open” Internet and Internet of Things governed by a man called Hussein and 8th century badlands governed by other men called Hussein. Welcome to the 21st century. So are we doomed? Probably. But critically not in the way you might think and perhaps more importantly, not in the way president Obama thinks.

The actual effect of government control is to institutionalize incompetence. The more Obama controls, the more he destroys. Take Obamacare. Hardly a day goes by when we don’t read that 80 million records have been stolen by Chinese hackers from Obamacare provider Anthem; or that Obamacare itself is sharing information with third party providers. Only the other day the public learned that 800,000 wrong tax forms were mailed to Obamacare policy holders because they used the wrong year in the computation; that after 3 years the backend isn’t finished.

And in other news let’s not forget that Snowden stole the crown jewels from the NSA. In fact, Glenn Greenwald was on hand to collect the Oscar given by Hollywood to the documentary depicting the theft.”

Rudy Is Right

“For the progressive, there is very little to love about the United States. Washington, Jefferson, Madison? A bunch of rotten slaveholders, hypocrites, and cowards even when their hearts were in the right places. The Declaration of Independence? A manifesto for the propertied classes. The Constitution? An artifact of sexism and white supremacy.”

Rich TAkes! On Tech. Import Audio Workflow

I was checking out Audacity for ripping LPs to iTunes. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions for doing this?

gc16035_imic_1Okay, I’ll bite!

My major computer hobby for the last three years has been importing and correcting analog audio. I’ve just about ran out of stuff to import. I’ve found that importing cassettes is far easier than records, either it works or it doesn’t. The major defect with older cassettes is that the tape head pressure pad likes to fall off, the glue fails. They are easy enough to glue back on. Superglue would likely work, although I’ve just been dabbing it with silicon caulk and letting it cure for a while. I only need one good go around anyway. The other major issue is tape drag, this often manifests after a few minutes or so, due to cheap cartridges from the plant. Double play tapes seem more susceptible to this issue too. I’m not sure if there is a fix for that, I’ve just been pitching them after a couple of failed attempts.

A few words about equipment,

it doesn’t have to be expensive, although it helps if it once wasn’t cheap.

The Mid-Term Massacre TAkes!

Okay, a little gloating might be in order after the Mid-Term Massacre, but Boehner and McConnell insured that it will be short-lived.

They are determined to compromise with the socialists and Obama in the near term, and the current lame-duck is very scary. Both kept their positions in closed door meetings, with no challengers. We need leaders with a spine, and neither Boehner nor McConnell have convinced me that they possess one.

Anyway, enjoy the

2014 Mid-Term TAkes!

Dems weigh in on holding the Senate

The Dance. Thanks, Joe Dan!

Tuesday Was A Hollow Victory For The GOP

The ’14 mid-terms was an open and shut case that we the people are opposed to all of Obama’s policies. Sadly, Republican leadership seems to think that we want RINOs working with Obama.

Obama plans to protect up to 5 million from deportation

His next tack is purported to be illegals who happened to birth a child while in the USA illegally. It is time to end the birth right policy. It is not in the Constitution, including the 14th Amendment, which is perhaps the most misinterpreted amendment in the Constitution. Birth-right citizenship first appeared in an 1895 Court decision. One of the first cases of judicial over-reach.

I am in favor of an amendment which specifies that at least one parent of any child born in the USA be citizens themselves before citizenship is conferred upon their off-spring.

Net Neutrality: A 21st Century Trojan Horse

Statists on both sides of the aisle, mostly leftists, would like nothing better than to regulate the last outpost of freedom.

Climate Agreement Allows China to Keep Polluting While U.S. Makes Cuts

Obama pledges we will reduce our carbon emission below 2005 levels, China agrees to maybe peak by 2030. They are opening a coal-fired plant every week, with no sulfur or ash controls. Sweet!

Elizabeth Warren gets rock-star reception at liberal donors confab

50-50 chance that Warren will be the next Dem POTUS candidate. A communist, plain and simple. I hope she is nominated. After all, you didn’t build that.

The 2014 Summer Recess Takes!

Once again I see that I’ve been negligent in updating this page, I’ve been on vacation, and there was really nothing new to report until a week or so ago with the ebola outbreak in western Africa. How did two knowledgeable American medical volunteers contract ebola to begin with?

ISIS is still running rampant in Iraq and Syria, Obama decided to flex his muscles this week and lob two missiles, taking out one artillery piece (which was no doubt ours to begin with)

Global warming is still settled science, even though this has been the coolest summer for over a decade. Get your sweaters and sweatshirts ready for next month. It’s time to build more coal-fired power plants, instead of shutting them down. We will need the clean, cheap energy.

Socialism is still trendy, even though Venezuela can’t keep the power on, and Argentina recently defaulted. The TEA Party made substantial gains in the primary season, even though many like to proclaim that it is dead.

The stage is being set for yet another Obamacare Supreme Court challenge, and this one has legs from a legal standpoint.

But wait, there’s more: Congress is in recess.

Welcome to the 2014

Summer Recess RichTAkes!

at this point, nothing would surprise me, see below:

The Empire Strikes Back: Invasion at the Border

The people sent a message. luke-darth-duel  The deliberate failure of Obama’s illegal ignoring our current  immigration law, along with his recently extending the lack of enforcement of law concerning illegal alien minors for another two years certainly helped to bring about Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s defeat. Cantor tried to swing both ways on the illegal alien issue, and recently said that he wanted to work with Obama on the illegal youth (Dreamers) issue.

Our borders are now being over-whelmed by children, and the Border Patrol, ICE and the southwest is being turned into a giant day care facility for illegals. Sweet! They are even flying them around the country to spread the joy.

I don’t know if this is an intended (which I suspect) or an unintended consequence of Obama and DHS’ suspension of enforcement of “dreamers” which they renewed recently. I do know, as I’ve said all along, that ignoring the law is a violation of Obama’s oath to uphold the Constitution and to defend the country against all enemies.

This invasion of minors certainly seems to have been deliberate and pre-planned. DHS planned for an invasion of 65,000 illegal minors back in January. Note the date on the requisition, below:

Gov’t Confirms Authenticity of Contract Request for ‘Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children’ at the Border

This outrage should be at the top of the list of Articles for Impeachment, along with gun-running in Mexico, Syria and Libya, directing IRS targeting of citizens, the NSA intercepting everyone’s communications and targeting the AP and journalists, and whatever else his phone and pen has unleashed. The list is rather long.

This latest invasion of our country could have been avoided had we actually built the fence and secured our border. We’ve been waiting for that since 1986, when Reagan signed the last Amnesty bill. He later said that signing the Amnesty Bill was his greatest regret during his tenure.

There is more, but the border issue had to have played a big role in the Virginia primary results, and I hope that the Rs, including Ryan, finally start to get a clue. Andrew Breitbart is surely  smiling now.

Rich TAkes! On Badmitten, Bombs and Bergdahl

Rich TAkes! On Badmitten, Bombs and Bergdahl

Have you noticed, a couple of weeks will go by with no major news to report, and then a fire starts up, in this case, the VA scandal, and then suddenly all sorts of other issues erupt at almost exactly the same time? From Friday to Monday, after the VA story which I haven’t dealt with yet, Obama’s EPA decided to regulate CO2 emissions with a back door cap and trade plan, even though Clinton’s super-majority Democratic Senate voted down Kyoto in 1999 by a 99-0 vote. A year or two later, the Cap and Trade bill never even made it to a vote. Now comes the EPA who decides to just do it anyway without any sort of vote by way of regulation. Geesch! Progressives, they just don’t quit.

Apparently that wasn’t enough, last week Obama made a big deal about how he secured the transfer of a soldier in exchange for the five baddest Taliban actors still held in GITMO, and thinks that is something to be celebrated, he invited Bergdahl’s parents to the Rose Garden for a presser. Even worse, it appears that Bergdahl may be a defector and is guilty of treason. Obama must think that we all are idiots, or else he is confirming what many of us have known for years. He also tried to release these same five Taliban commanders two years ago, and Congress said no way, across party lines. Not only did Congress object, the intel community and defense establishment did too.
