New York City Bans Kitchen Knives

After a series of subway stabbings New York City mayor Bill De Blasio has put forth an ordinance to ban all knives within the 5 borough New York City area.  The ordinance, stating the need to protect the public from future subway slashers, asks citizens to bring their knives to City Hall.

Bill Bratton, the city’s top cop, has been asked to include the confiscation of knives as part the normal patrol regimen.   Seen as a side benefit, the consumption of meats in New York City is expected to be greatly reduced.    In order to facilitate the collection of these dangerous weapons, those with criminal records will be paid for their knives in the NYC Knife Buy Back program, non criminals would be given a one time gift card for a 32 oz coke.

The mayor has stated that he expects this ordinance to save lives.  He is further considering a blunt object ban as well.  When asked about violence committed by people using their bare hands, he said that sort of ordinance would just not be practical.  He would recommend removal of any hands or feet found to have committed a crime.  The city would not be using the confiscated knives for this.

All this is designed, he said, to make New York City the safest place on earth.  (satire)

 

Marco Rubio

There once was a man named Marcus,
He was third in the Iowa Caucus,
He thinks he can win,
By letting all the immigrants in,
So he has taken all the cash,
So the donors just have to ask,
And slave Rubio does the task.

It must be tough to be bought,
People  think you a louse,
It’s not like your doing what you ought,
It’s  your reputation that’s been caught.

But Marcus has had his say,
From the gang of eight
He promoted open borders each day,
Now he has another chance with fate,
Illegals are coming at a unstoppable rate.

VOTE Rubio…………… NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Trumpoem

There once was a man named Trump,
He thought he would be king,
He’d say what people wanted to hear,
But had no values he held dear,
So he’d lead America into tears.

Sarah Palin thought he would be nice,
After Trump paid for her voice,
She spoke about what a great guy he was,
He would make this country great,
That was to be Donald’s fate.

But Trump is still a big government man,
He is a single payer health care fan,
He thinks abortion is apple pie,
so while making deals more babies will die,
but in Iran they’ll run from his orange tan.

So vote for Trump,
if you are down it the dumps,
Hail his majesty King Don,
while you are getting Don King,
Hype master and ding-a-ling.

Ted 3 (The Bear Comes Out)

The stuffed bear of erstwhile movie fame has two credits to his resume.  If bad humor could get votes, I think people would vote for the stuffed zoo escapee for President.  Instead they put their hope on the king of media, Donald Trump.    He is the 2016 version of hope and change.  No depth, no values, no commitment to anything other than winning.  We already elected that guy, BARACK OBAMA.

With Ted Cruz, if you look at his record, you have to conclude he has a moral foundation and is a phenomenal supporter of the constitution.  If you support life, believe in the second amendment and small government, then he is the Ted for you.  This is TED 3.

Unless, Cruz learns to speak plainly and bluntly he won’t succeed.  His message needs to be raw, not erudite.  Unless he masters that he won’t pull the blind mice from following Trump the New York piper.

Liberty University Betrays Christianity

Dear Rev. Jerry Falwell Jr.

As the President of Liberty University, your recent endorsement of Donald Trump is a stab in the womb for all those who wish to see the carnage that is abortion in America stopped.    Trump in on record supporting abortion rights for women and at one point did not even object to partial birth abortions when asked.   I can’t believe you are not completely informed about this.  Your endorsement of Trump in no different than telling every student at Liberty University that abortion is a viable option.

What did he offer you Jerry?  Trump said he would make deals with everyone.  Is he planning on supporting Christians by killing their babies?  Did he give you a ride on his plane?  Did he offer Liberty University more money in financial aid for students?  Is it really about the money?  Did he pay you personally?

Trump has a long history of supporting Democratic causes and views.  He has promised to work with them, to make deals.  Obviously, he has made a deal with you where you are willing to compromise your Christian values for some sort of gain.   What was said in that closed door meeting between you two where you agreed to do this?  Is there some sort of dirt you need to avoid?  I do not know what really happened but given the history of Liberty University, it is very suspicious.

Congratulations on your stance.  It is one that shows no principle, no backbone and nothing but contempt for the cause of life.  I would urge every student at Liberty University to go elsewhere.  I know that for my children I will urge them not to consider every going to a place that has the same values as any secular institution.  Your choice to endorse Trump is a betrayal of life, and a betrayal of every student and alumni of Liberty University.

It is always sad when a “believer” appears to fall.

Sincerely,

Keith Risman

What is Success?

If you can look back on each day and honestly say:  (Casting Crown Lyrics)

Lord,

I want to sign Your name
To the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true.

Or as Martin Luther King Jr. said in 1967:

“Be a bush is you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be the trail, If you can’t be a sun, be a star. For it isn’t by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”

Can you look in the mirror and say that you gave all within your ability? Will God sign off on your day? Would you sign off on your own day?  What does that voice inside you say?

Be encouraged that no matter the circumstance each day is new.  Ask God for guidance and follow his lead.  It’s not always going to me financially rewarding or filled with physical blessings, but it will enliven the heart in all circumstances.  Joy in the Lord by far overwhelms joy in riches and gold.  I pray for you that you will find your best each day.

Misleading News Helping The Wealthy

If the Griswold’s  were to leave New York For Disney Land In LA instead of Wally World while driving their gas guzzling station wagon   1976_Pontiac_Grand_Safari2with grandma strapped to the roof  they would travel 2789 miles. Four Years ago they would have spent $976 on gasoline.  Today that same trip would be $418.  That means that Clark Griswold would have over $500 extra to spend on the family vacation.

Yet today’s news is all about how bad the drop in oil prices is impacting the economy.  Are the media really that dumb?  Can they not think for themselves?  If everyone in the country has more money in their pockets because oil prices have dropped, that is more money for every single industry except for oil. The costs of making plastics goes down, the cost to make cars goes down. The cost to ship goods across the country goes down so prices go down and more goods can be bought.  More sales at better margins means more profits.  Manufacturing costs go down so profit margins go up. (unless you sell oil)  So the news media, everyone of them are morons. That may be true, or there is something else driving that?

If I were a 20 year old college student living on a stipend and student loans burdened by an over taxing educational load while using recreational drugs, I could still figure this one out.

Who do you think tells the media that the drop in oil prices is bad?  (Oil companies, green energy companies, environmentalists and Wall Street investors dealing in oil)  Everyone of these entities are seeking to reverse the drop because they stand to benefit either their causes or their bottom lines.   The media is now too lazy, too ineffective and too out and out bought to even question the crap they are fed.    So what if CBS or NBC report on the ‘disaster’ low oil prices are?  So what if their reporting hurts every consumer in the United States.  They do not care.  It is far less expensive to just republish the news releases they get than to investigate how the drop in oil prices impacts most businesses and the consumer.

So what if they hurt the economy?  So what if they want prices to go up so ISIS can have more profits for Jihad, or Iran has more money to create a nuke?  The media and government are so corrupt they will push damaging information in pursuit of profits and agendas to the exclusion of common sense.   There is no allegiance to truth, no allegiance to facts.   Wally

The concept of a moral high ground has thoroughly vanished from the American media.  We can only hope it is they that get stuck with the broken down station wagon hauling grandma at $4.00 a gallon and that at some point they can no longer afford the to take the trip.  They are the Wally World of today and they need to close.
