There is a considerable amount of chatter amid the blog-o-sphere for an interview Hugh Hewitt had with former Clinton White House Counsel Lanny Davis. [ Transcript here ]

Most of the attention has focused on the final segment question where Hewitt challenges Davis to summarize Hillary’s accomplishments as Secretary of State, and Davis cannot name one:

LANNY DAVIS: … more time, which is at some point, at some point, if she runs for president, Benghazi and every other issue she’s being criticized for, and I happen to believe that there are only a handful of people that hold Benghazi against her. I don’t think that that’s a serious political issue for her.

HUGH HEWITT: Okay, then give me one more thing.

DAVIS: But she’s got to do it. She’s got to do it if she runs for president. And she knows that.

HEWITT: All right, one question, you’ve got a minute. Summarize for me what she accomplished as Secretary of State.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Outside the DC beltway bubble I guess taxpayers are now “ordinary Americans”.  That would make the non-taxpayer(s), non-ordinary Americans.   Strange world we live in where the majority views have to be quantified, or defined so, as to reach beyond the propaganda…..

Note to DC and liberals:    WE OUTNUMBER YOU !

(Via Breitbart)  Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced Friday that throughout 2013 his three campaign arms raised $4.16 million.

Cruz made the massive haul over 2013 through his re-election committee, Ted Cruz for Senate, his joint fundraising committee, Ted Cruz Victory Committee, and his leadership PAC, the Jobs, Growth & Freedom Fund.

About $1.5 million of this fundraising happened in the fourth quarter of 2013. This began during the government shutdown caused by Democrats’ and President Obama’s refusal to compromise on Obamacare after Cruz’s stand, with Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) at his side, against the unpopular healthcare law. Conventional wisdom inside the beltway was that Americans disapproved of Cruz’s and Lee’s tactics, but these fundraising details are yet another indicator that ordinary Americans craved someone who would stand up against Obamacare on their behalf.   (read more)

Often times when conversations turn to the dictates emanating from Washington DC you hear the word “they”.   As you read the following article from The Hill, may I draw your attention to the inherent arrogance contained within the framework.

GOP wing forming half of the “Gang of Ocho”

(Via The Hill) Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) political stock is rated a buy by major Republican fundraisers in Washington, who are bullish on Rubio’s future as a 2016 presidential candidate.

A group of Republican fundraising heavyweights and wise men in Washington’s business community are solidly behind Rubio, and see him not only as someone who could win the White House, but someone they can work with.

The fundraisers include Bill Paxon, a former New York lawmaker who is now a senior adviser at Akin Gump; Dirk Van Dongen, the president of the National Wholesalers Association; and Wayne Berman, a big-time donor with a knack for picking winning candidates in presidential primaries. (more…)

Our large tree belt filled about ten acres in a long L-shape around the farmstead and provided some shelter from winter storms.

They surely didn’t keep the sub zero temps or winds away but the five and six foot drifts that might be thirty or forty feet from end to end and which lasted for months were more likely to be in the tree belt and less likely to be blocking buildings in the yard itself – like the cave, the house, the outhouse, the granaries, the well sheds, barn, chicken coops, and garage.

The tree belt was six or eight rows deep with ten feet between the rows and with lots of open dirt –  room enough to drive a tractor/cultivator through twice a summer to control weeks on the bare soil.  Our soil wouldn’t win awards for nutrients, but it wasn’t gumbo. It wasn’t clay. It was just good clean dirt and I will say this for it – it made really great mud. (more…)

Stories like this give me the heebie jeebies.   Especially when they have accompanying pictures of a lady who just seems so ordinary, yet is driving around with bits and pieces of a chopped up body.  {{creepy}}  

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. –  A 59-year old St. Clair County woman is in police custody at the St. Clair Shores Police Department, pending arraignment in the investigation of bags of human body parts found on the side of the road.

The remains of a white male were found Thursday afternoon along Fred Moore Highway and Allington Road in China Township.

St. Clair Shores Police and St. Clair County Sheriff investigators executed two search warrants in the 22000 block of Rosedale and 23000 block of Gary Lane in the city of St. Clair Shores.

Evidence taken from the dismembered body revealed that it was a 32-year old St. Clair Shores man who was missing.

Local 2 spoke with some of the man’s neighbors Saturday. Many of them had nothing but good things to say about the 32-year-old man. (more…)
