I'm glad to report that Fillmore, at least according to the majority of voices at the special medical marijuana meeting, want nothing to do with the weeds.

The recent confiscation of some $7million-worth of marijuana plants at the weed co-op above Grand Ave. creates a sense of relief. Medical marijuana certainly has its place - once workable controls are feasible. The product is needed to treat certain serious painful conditions. The problem is that as soon as the product becomes available, everyone seems to have painful conditions which allegedly require medical marijuana.

I know the Pope is a holy man; I only wish holiness always included common sense, which the present Pope clearly lacks.

Pope Francis lacks the ability to refrain from "off-the-cuff" statements which are clearly wrong, creating confusion, anger, and bewilderment in the ranks of the faithful, and not-so-faithful. Perhaps his "cuffs" should be clipped.

His ability to startle traditional Catholics with false or confusing statements reminds me of Donald Trump's worst idiotic pronouncements, like Senator John McCain is not a hero because his plane was shot down and he was captured. Absurd.

Recently, Pope Francis stated that the "Koran And Holy Bible Are The Same" and that Islam is a religion of peace. What madness is this?

The Koran and Bible are diametrical, absolute, opposites in the doctrines they announce. The Koran demands submission of all "Kafirs", or non Muslims. There are only three choices for Kafirs in Islamic doctrine, conversion, dimitude (slavery), or death. Traditional Islam seeks death or conversion for all non-believers, as we see in today's terrorist attacks. The Koran, Hadith, and Sira are explicit about this, and all statements to the contrary are, by the doctrine of "abrogation" not applicable. So, by valid, traditional Islamic standards, being a Kafir is dangerous.

Christianity, on the other hand, preaches a personal, loving God Who seeks peace and salvation through free will. Christianity has certainly failed to meet its goals sometimes throughout history, but it has been the greatest single factor in the creation and preservation of Western civilization, and world civilization most of the time.
The West is utterly ignorant of Islamic history, its expansion and the horrific suffering it has caused civilization for the last 1400 years.

A great place to begin learning about the doctrine of Islam is to view any one of Dr. Bill Warner's videos or read any of his many books. He tells the whole story from a scientist's perspective, after 30-years of study. Warner has a PhD in physics and mathematics, and is a superb speaker. He only addresses the doctrine of Islam. He cares nothing about the religion. See: ”Why We Are Afraid, A 1400 Year Secret, by Dr Bill Warner".

I regret sounding a little disrespectful, but the Pope needs to put a sock in it. On matters of faith and morals he is great; on personal political opinion, he's dangerous.

p.s. I speak as a faithful, practicing Roman Catholic, fellow Kafir to most of you.

It has been a tumultuous past two weeks at the Gazette.

My Editor, and best friend at the paper for the past 28 years, Wanda Castel de Oro, was recently hospitalized for a serious illness.

She is doing better now but has some challenges ahead. Without her steadfast management things run a little slower. We miss her at the Gazette. Our prayers are with her for a speedy recovery.

In the meantime, the Gazette is blessed to have Tenea Golson to take over many of the most important duties in Wanda's absence. Tenea has done great work for the Gazette in the recent past. She is the daughter of Susan Golson who also did great work for us for more than 10 years. We have a great team while looking forward to Wanda's recovery.

A special meeting of the Fillmore City Council was held at city hall last night. I regret I was unable to attend. The question presented concerns the most important issue facing Fillmore in its history - should the city permit a large medical marijuana co-op to move into our new Business Park?

This co-op wants to build a 9-acre medical marijuana farm and dispensary. Fillmore would then house the largest such dispensary in the entire state. Tax revenue to the city is anticipated to be $3-8 million per year.

That's a lot of money. It could be spent to revitalize the city. We could get our motorcycle cop back, put in an intense anti-drug program in our schools, etc.

But, there is another, dark, side to the question, as Sheriff Geoff Dean and Police Chief Dave Wareham told the standing-room-only crown at city hall last night. The flip-side of these tempting millions is crime; crime as we have never known it before. Marijuana attracts criminals like cheese attracts rats.

Captain Wareham just returned from an investigative trip to Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, where marijuana has been legalized. In short, most of the counties want nothing to do with legal medical marijuana, and others regret legalizing it. His report last night awakened the crowd to the salient facts. The costs to remedy the damage marijuana has caused (crime cartel murders) school problems, serious medical problems due to the huge increase in potency of marijuana today, and the edible products (cookies, candies, brownies, etc.) which trick children into overdosing, exceeds any financial benefits by more than twice. In other words, it costs twice the millions we might get to overcome the problems. It changes whole communities quickly, for worse. And it would scar Fillmore's reputation forever.

Legal medical marijuana growing and dispensing is a town-killing proposition. Our City Council has been placed on notice, by the huge turnout last night, that the citizens of this small town do not want to have anything to do with bringing marijuana production and sales to Fillmore.

I'm sure the message got through.

It seems that every week for several months now some outrageous breach of the peace, attack by some murderous Islamic monstrosity, or exposure of more federal government rot, drove me to say something, but I didn't. I'll say a few words now.

Obama and his hoard of fifth column comrades has successfully infected our Republic for seven and a half years. He has kept his promise to "fundamentally change" our country. But his changes have inflicted what may well prove to be mortal wounds to the nation.

Obama is a moral reprobate. I first knew this was true when I heard that he approved of partial-birth abortion. This told me he had no soul. That procedure, for those who may have forgotten, permits the abortionist the "right" to kill the infant who survived the abortion, by severing its spinal cord, drowning the child, suffocating it, or merely leaving it to die in a cabinet, opposing Born Alive legislation.

The nation is suffering the effects of Obama's empty soul. It suffers for his lack of support for our Law Enforcement men and women, part of his efforts to inflame racial division.

He has used federal departments as weapons to control the people. He has created the most corrupt Justice Department in the nation's history by appointing people like Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, names that will live in infamy for their Constitutional manipulations. He provides cover for every governmental crime.

As Commander-in-Chief, he has subverted the moral character of our armed forces, diminished our defense capabilities, and given aid and comfort to our country's most lethal enemies.

He is an active enemy of America's traditional Christian base, and a vocal defender of Islam, "radical" or not. (There is only one Islam, and that is defined only by the Koran, Hadith (Muhammad's traditions), and Sira, (Muhammad's biography) - all condensed in Sharia law. Muslim jihadists continue to fight to the death seeking to prove which sect is purest - as they have done for 1,400 years - and to this day). The target of the Islamist demand for "submission" is all non-Muslims - Kaffirs. Read it all in the above books, which contain the entirety of Islamic doctrine. It is not merely a religion, it is a total way of life.

Obama has largely accomplished the mission he announced in his inaugural address nearly 8 years ago. Those fundamental changes infect every part of our government, from drafting women and opening women's bathrooms to the lecherous Left, to inviting an invasion of undocumented foreigners. Many of his changes can never be cured, and the nation is obviously weakened for it.

I cannot point to a single major foreign policy decision by this odious man that has secured a benefit for America. But the list of extraordinary and outrageous wounds he has inflicted upon our Republic is long.

The nation is weaker militarily, morally, socially, and financially due to the Obama administration. America will have been leaderless for eight years at the end of his term.

America is ill prepared to survive the immediate dangers we now face, yet this charlatan endorses Hillary Clinton (Bitch Goddess of untruth and proven untrustworthiness).

If, the ignorant unwashed 51percent manages, once again, to slither into office another misbegotten charlatan, Hillary Clinton, our Republic is finished.

The City of Fillmore is about to be attacked by the most outrageous "public works" scheme ever inflicted upon a California municipality in state history. The big shots in the City of Malibu, CA, are about to launch a 10-year project transporting sand from Grimes Canyon, through Fillmore, to Malibu beach in an effort to restore the shoreline.

It's hard to contemplate the extent of this uniquely devastating plan. Imagine up to 100 belly dump trucks PER DAY traveling from the mine, down Hwy 23 to Highway 126 and through to Hwy 1 and Malibu. Think of what the coast highway will be like - for the next 10 years.

Daily traffic from the mine through Fillmore is already very heavy; this plan is almost too audacious to contemplate. Think of the traffic disruption, (100 trucks per day), destruction of our highway, dust, noise, potential accidents.

The City of Moorpark sued to keep this traffic out of their town, though it is located closer to Malibu than Fillmore.

But the entire plan is audaciously impractical. Where are all those green environmental heroes when we need them? Where is the Environmental Protection Agency when we need it? Why weren't we alerted to this threat in time to take serious defensive action?

The Gazette will do its best to report on these events and determine what can be done at the state and federal level.

For those who might be curious, I've been gone for about two months due to a back injury. I'm getting around again but it will take a while longer before reaching 100 percent. Thanks for your patience and concern.

***

It's hard to exaggerate the peril the nation is in, domestically and overseas. America is seriously unprepared to deal with her enemies, foreign and domestic, because our Commander in Chief has never shown a desire to lead the nation in its defense. In this he has betrayed our trust and his oath of office. Should Hillary Clinton become our next president, the eight years Obama has spent under-cutting our nation will produce a military-social collapse, the likes of which we have never before experienced.

Only a fervent Christian revival can save this nation at this late date. We should acknowledge God and the unique blessings He has showered upon America since her founding, or face defeat at the hands of multiple, implacable enemies. Time to humble ourselves and pray.

Sometimes, when we are faced with an obvious injustice, we come to conclusions driven more by emotion than reality.

As someone with a public platform to express my opinion, as I did in last week’s editorial, it is my responsibility to get it right. Last week, I got it wrong.

The majority of my editorial dealt with the alleged bullying of Fillmore Fire Chief Rigo Landeros by two city council members. That would have been a good place to stop.

However, I went on to draw an erroneous conclusion that the other three council members knew of the bullying and did nothing to stop it.

A day late, I sat down with two of the three council members, a grief counselor, and two witnesses. I was able to ask the questions I should have asked in the first place, and settle the dust I had stirred up.

If a complete retraction of a single accusation was ever in order, it is now. My apologies to our majority council for misguidedly causing more pain in an already painful situation.

As information continues to flow in, details concerning the tragic death of former Fillmore Fire Chief Rigo Landeros becomes clearer.

Statements by some city officials and many others who were close to Chief Landeros, allege a lengthy practice of bullying, threats, and intimidation by two councilmen against the Chief, including threats to have him fired were contributing factors.

Anger by those who knew and greatly admired Landeros is palpable. Investigations to determine the factors leading to his death, official and unofficial, are underway.

The intimidation of Landeros is alleged to have occurred for at least 3 years.

The time for a recall of two council members, or resignations, is here.

The passing of Fire Chief Rigo Linderos, a friend to so many, leaves a void in our lives. He was always such an important part of the community that maybe we took him for granted, as though he would always be here. Now that he is no longer with us it makes me think about the importance of friendship, especially those of long standing.

I recall a framed exert from Hamlet which hung on a hallway wall at home when I was a boy. I have no idea where it came from and don’t know where it has gone. But I appreciate those words now much more than I did as a child. The words read, “Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;” These are the words of William Shakespeare, the greatest genius who ever lived. He illuminated the deepest parts of the human condition as no one else has ever been able to do. He’s attesting to the unique, irreplaceable value of friendship.

I wish I had taken a little more time to express my appreciation for the care Rigo took in going about his work. He was always giving of himself and yet never neglected to say thank you to us.

So I will say thank you for the last time my friend. We all miss you. Rest in peace.

Rigo Linderos, a Man For All Seasons.

I knew him for most of the 28 years I have lived in Fillmore. I saw him almost every day during his duties as our Fire Chief, when he stopped by the office to say hello or to deliver a request.

No matter how heartfelt our attempts to recognize Rigo's importance to the community, we must fail. He was such an integral part of Fillmore that it requires us to pause and reflect on the scope of his contributions, not only as Fire Chief but as a critical influence on city government and a major volunteer for many charitable causes. Rigo was one-of-a-kind. His heart was in his work. He brought order from confusion and goodwill in times of conflict.

He was always there with a warm greeting and a helping hand in good times and in bad. He will be remembered by thousands as Fillmore's Man For All Seasons. I will miss him as a true friend.

Rest in peace Rigo. Thank you for giving so much of your life to assist others.

I'm late to the keyboard this week so I'm just going to drop a few DRUDGE headlines in the hope you will all check out these links. They tell the story of the state of the nation and of the world - in real old fashioned reality.

Evil: ISIS fighters have been given new rules to live by when it comes to sex slaves

The new rules:

1. It is not permissible for the owner of a female captive to have intercourse with her until after she has had menstrual cycle and becomes clean.

2. If she does not menstruate and is pregnant, he is not allowed to have intercourse with her until after she has given birth.

3. It is not permissible to cause her to abort if she is pregnant.

4. If the owner of a female captive releases her, only he can have intercourse with her and he cannot allow someone else to have intercourse with her.

5. If the owner of a female captive, who has a daughter suitable for intercourse, has sexual relations with the latter, he is not permitted to have intercourse with her mother and she is permanently off limits to him. Should he have intercourse with her mother then he is not permitted to have intercourse with her daughter and she is to be off-limits to him.

6. The owner of two sisters is not allowed to have intercourse with both of them; rather he may only have intercourse with just one. The other sister is to be had by him, if he were to relinquish ownership of the first sister by selling her, giving her away or releasing her.

7. If the female captive is owned by a father, his son cannot have intercourse with her and vice-versa. Moreover, intercourse with his wife’s female captive is also not permissible.

8. If a father had intercourse with his female captive then gave her away or sold her to his son, he is no longer permitted to have intercourse with her.

9. If the female captive becomes pregnant by her owner, he cannot sell her and she is released after his death.

10. If the owner releases his female captive then he is not permitted to have intercourse with her afterwards because she has become free and is no longer his property.

11. If two or more individuals are involved in purchasing a female captive, none of them are permitted to have sex with her because she is part of a joint ownership.

12. It is not permissible to have intercourse with a female captive during her menstrual cycle.

13. It is not permissible top have anal sex with a female captive.

14. The owner of a female captive should show compassion towards her, be kind to her, not humiliate her and not assign her work she is unable to perform.

15. The owner of a female captive should not sell her to an individual whom he knows will treat her badly or do unto her what Allah has forbidden.

Well, in another day the year 2015 will be no more. All of us at the Gazette wish all of you a very happy and productive new year.

One issue to be dealt with in 2016 is of extraordinary importance to Fillmore and many other Ventura County cities. It is the plan to transport sand from the mine on Hwy. 23 to restore the beach at Malibu. It's hard to exaggerate the extent to which this outrageous proposal (nearly completely approved) will negatively impact our city. This should be fought with all the resources we have. See the story on page one.

***

I have mixed emotions about the coming New Year. I feel a sense of relief and foreboding. The relief comes from knowing that Obama has only 11 months more to finish the job of wrecking the nation. My foreboding comes from understanding just how much he has already succeeded in diminishing America's strength, prosperity, and security. It will take a decade to repair the damage, assuming everything doesn't come off the rails before the Obama administration breaths it last.

It could be worse however, if a criminally stupid electorate actually votes-in another Clinton. That's a horror beyond my ability to contemplate. It is possible. I shudder to recall that same electorate (Democrat Party) voted Obama in for a second term. The second witch in Macbeth voices my trepidation, "Something wicked this way comes.” America faces the wickedness of fundamental Islam and its plan to subdue the world. We can forget "the good Muslims" - they are almost irrelevant. It's the Islam which has bedeviled the Western world since the year 632 with its demand that all non-Muslim peoples "submit" by conversion, taxation, or death.

These are the facts, this is the truth, and America is about to discover this truth, inconvenient or otherwise.
Let's not forget Barack Obama's gift of aid and comfort to the enemy (Iran) in the amount of $150 BILLION. That is the legacy he has sought, that is the American demise he has brought.

From all of us at the Gazette to all of our readers Happy, holy, and peaceful Christmas!

It's a beautiful day today especially after the nice soaking rain we had a short time ago. I don't feel like talking politics or commenting on the Islamic murder wave we are facing. It seems more fitting to contemplate the many blessings we continue to receive from the Father.

Despite the absence of political leadership America has experienced these past seven years and the moral misdirection urging us towards the cliff, we still live in the strongest, freest nation in the world. We are, however, in desperate need of remembering the source of our strength and freedom. So, in this Christmas season let's give thanks to God.

Last night's Republican debate: An engineered waste of time.

Our Commander-in-Chief has decreed that all combat positions in all military branches are now open to women, for the first time in history. This is a sort of ultimate insult and injury to our fighting men, and an ultimate victory for political correctness and the feminist Left.

In a sane world guided by traditional Judeo-Christian principles and morals no explanation would be necessary for the virtually timeless, universal prohibition against the use of women in combat. Common sense and natural law dictate that men protect women against harm, especially from evil men. This is deeply engrained, almost genetically inscribed on the male psyche. It is a principle that helps assure the existence of humanity's next generation. The statement "Women and children first" should always be honored in practice. They are our nation's future.

Obama and his lickspittle Leftist minions, like his new Secretary of Defense, have struck another blow against Judeo-Christian normalcy with this new policy. The arguments against this new law are so profound and numerous that they can only be addressed in a book. One such book, among many, should be read by everyone who values the special position of honor and dignity women have always enjoyed throughout the civilized world (I don't include fundamental Islam in that world). That book is entitled "CO-ED COMBAT, the new evidence that women shouldn't fight the nation's wars", by Kingsley Browne.

It is a outrageous fraud to pretend, as Obama does, that women are as capable of engaging in combat as men. Women are absolutely equal to men in dignity, but not combat. I dare even the most virulent feminist to refute the data in this book.

Women have always contributed to the defense of our country in most valuable ways, from the Revolutionary War to date. There is no question or doubt about that. And women have engaged in combat (in very small numbers) in the Soviet Union - even in Israel, for short periods of time, in dire circumstances - and served heroically. But that is not the point.

Co-Ed Combat is meticulously researched, utterly objective, heavily noted, with comments from both sides of the issue. Conclusion: Women should not be allowed in combat;

"The climate of political correctness is so strong that revealing reservations about the performance of women in the military is likely to be a career-terminating event."

"The military can force men to "accept" integration in the sense that soldiers must "accept" virtually anything their superiors impose upon them, but it cannot force men to trust women, and the absence of trust in battle can be deadly."

"In 1971 alone, there were 333 confirmed incidents [of fragging] and another 158 possible ones." "...The objections that many men have to women are of a kind that would create a potential for fragging." "Two of the most frequently heard complaints about women in the military are that women obtain favored treatment from superiors and that they are less combat capable and will not pull their weight in combat, thereby endangering the lives of male soldiers."

These arguments are only the tip of the iceberg. Women in combat, as now ordered, is wildly immoral and deadly impractical.

Read the book before yelling misogynist!

Life and death issues now confront us daily. Seeking a workable defense against Islamic terrorist activity, despite President Obama's dreamy, nonchalant attitude, is an immediate challenge. The issue of Personal self-defense is new to millions of Americans seeking to arm themselves against Muslim attack for the first time. And all of the liberal media political correctness will not diminish the reality of the threat.

It's reported that since Obama's election the American people have purchased more than 100 million firearms. That's a strong indication that at least they understand, if only instinctively, they and the nation are in grave danger.

****

First, a huge note of thanks and congratulations to all of the local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies who participated in defeating the jihadist murderers in San Bernardino. It was inspiring to see such effective cooperation and coordination.

****

I am frankly amazed at how exceptional our fighting forces are. Their performance has been stellar and they deserve our undying gratitude. What amazes me most is the fact that they do so well despite the corrupt and incompetent leadership they must depend upon. http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2015-12-08/story/navy-fires-rear-admi....

Their Commander in Chief renders aid and comfort to the enemy which he refuses to identify (for the past 7 years!), much of the top brass (with strong exceptions) are mere sycophants, like his bevy of homosexual generals and our new Secretary of Defense.

The insane rules of engagement (no strike if even a single "civilian" is present) and the latest policy change (first in American history) permitting women in all combat roles (guarantee our daughters would be included in any future draft and drastically diminishing force effectiveness) means losing. Political correctness is literally killing this nation. Where are those to stand-up for traditional values and principles?
Our armed forces have been deeply corrupted with radical liberal-progressive policies and practices. Our Obama government doesn't give a damn about the normal, traditional Christian men and women who have been the backbone of our nation's defense since 1775. It is they who have to tolerate the conduct of the new Left members. In fact Obama and his crowd of anti-Judeo-Christian social saboteurs truly hate the American tradition of moral normalcy.

Our next president should be a combination of General Patton and Abraham Lincoln. Then, at least, we could recover our self-respect, and possibly that of the enemy.

Most of all, we would recover the protection of our God in Whom we say "...we trust."

Everyone in the office has been sick this week and I'm getting over a week-long cold. So I won't attempt a column today.

As I write these words, a social services building in San Bernardino has been attacked by three heavily armed, masked gunmen. At least 20 shooting victims have been reported and a black Yukon SUV is being sought after it departed the area. A bomb squad is surveying the building.

The shooters entered a conference room and began to gun down everyone in sight. The shooting ended shortly after that with the perpetrators having left the scene.

This has some earmarks of a possible Islamist-based attack, though no such connection has been made. I wonder if this incident will serve to wake-up Obama and his idiot minions to the immediate threat within his planned Syrian immigration.

But never fear. Our Commander in Chief is dealing with climate change which he sees as the greatest threat to our nation and the whole world.

Barack Obama is as mad as a hatter. He needs some immediate psychiatric attention to save us all from his delusions of grandeur.

I should caution however that this particular incident could be criminal rather than political.

I listened to Obama's thanksgiving message to his underlings today. He told us not to worry because he's got our back and the unnamed terrorists cannot inflict any more workplace violence upon us while we enjoy our holiday turkeys.

He also assured us that we have scores of mostly unnamed NATO nations backing us up, as soon as we provide them with the weapons to do so. He says there will be no more "setbacks" like the Paris attacks because our Secretary of State John Kerry has made friends with Syria, Russia, and Iran. Besides, President Obama has also told us that we are not at war with Islam and never will be.

What a relief!

Obama knows we should have no concern about trucking-in 10,000 more un-vetted Syrians, despite the fact that our military, FBI, CIA, NEA, intelligence sources (and just about everyone else with a normally functioning brain) is telling our P.O.T.U.S. not to do this. Welcoming these people in, they say, virtually guarantees immediate and long-term terrorism in America.

Well, I disagree with our president. I hope Americans understand the extraordinary threat to our health and safety that this flood of un-vetted immigrants represents. We don't need to study this problem. Give common sense a chance. Just take it all in cold turkey.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

What do you do when you determine that the nation's Chief Executive, Commander in Chief, and leader of the free Western world, is mentally deranged - crazy?

Everyone should read David Kupelian's editorial in WND of 11-17. "Obama: Delusional or something worse?" (David Kupelian examines the president's stunning denial of reality.)

Trying to understand Obama's consistently bizarre decisions and confused policies is beyond the bounds of normal logic. They usually don't make sense from a pro-American and pro-Judeo-Christian perspective. To most rational people these decisions and policies only make sense from an anti-American, anti-Judeo-Christian standpoint.

Kupelian has written the clearest summary of Obama's dangerous mental state that I've seen to date, among many others. He shows that Obama is not only delusional but suffers from that state of mind in a way which endangers our country. The only other conclusion that makes sense is to declare Obama a traitor, a Manchurian Candidate-type, brainwashed to damage or destroy the country. That conclusion is a little too sci-fi for me. I have to agree with the growing number of serious on-lookers who are alarmed at Obama's destructive influence of world affairs, and America's in particular. "A little later in Fox’s primetime lineup, former CIA operative Mike Baker, a guest on “Hannity,” described Obama’s actions and attitude with regard to radical Islam as “surreal.” "Psychology expert Dr. Gina Loudon about the Paris terror attacks, observed:..." This president’s not recognizing, won’t recognize – it’s pathological that he won’t recognize radical Islam.” “It’s absolutely pathological,” responded Loudon. “And it’s not just pathological; it’s stupid and it’s dangerous.”

“One veteran forensic psychiatrist I know – an expert witness in thousands of court cases, whose expertise is sizing up criminal/antisocial people and determining what makes them tick – has described Obama to me in terms of “malignant narcissistic personality disorder.” The modifier “malignant” signifies the version of “narcissistic personality disorder” that may cross over into criminality, he explained."

“He reviewed with me a list of some of the major symptoms of NPD, comparing them with Obama’s behavior as president. Among the key markers: 1) a grandiose view of one’s achievements (everything with Obama is “historic”), 2) an utter inability to handle criticism (almost everyone criticizing Obama or his policies is attacked as selfish, “partisan” or racist) and 3) lack of genuine empathy (Obama’s designation of the apocalyptic Paris terror attacks as a “setback” in his foreign policy was reminiscent of his televised speech on the day of the Fort Hood terror attack....".

"Some, as previously mentioned, cite the disturbing degree to which Obama manifests full-blown symptoms of narcissism and/or sociopathy. " Some cite Obama’s childhood and upbringing. His Marxist-atheist-alcoholic-bigamist Kenyan father abandoned him, his Islamic stepfather raised him as a Muslim in Indonesia, his mother essentially abandoned him, and his most influential mentor as a young teenager was Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, a pornographer and admitted sexual abuser of minors."

His religious views were imprinted by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, America-hater and hater of white people and our democratic system.

I've quoted much from Mr. Kupelian's article (WND of 11-17. "Obama: Delusional or something worse?"). I urge everyone to read it for a superb analysis of a crazy, malicious president who is a clear and present danger to America's immediate future.

I watched Barack Obama commenting on his administration's accomplishments yesterday. He appeared reflective, totally absorbed in the greatness of his imaginary achievements. In this case he gave himself an intellectual hug by expressing appreciation for interracial goodwill he has engendered between white, black, and Hispanic people.

He had in mind no doubt Treyvon Martin, and 6'-4", 300 pound, 18-year-old felon, Michael Brown, together with 28-year-old officer Darren Wilson, who had to shoot Brown in self-defense. Both shooters, after exhaustive investigation by local, state, and federal police were found innocent and the shooting fully justified. Obama jumped into both investigations, making biased allegations before any facts were established. Both shootings caused great racial confrontation - the Brown case started a massive riot with great destruction.

I assume this was the hope and change Obama advertized before entering office. It was part of his objective to "fundamentally transform" America.

Let me crash into your delusional self assessment Mr. Obama. Don't listen to the girls in your back room who have structured your thinking and been telling you how wonderful you are. Listen instead to the reality expressed by the hundreds of millions of Americans who, despite their Christian inclinations, would turn you into a small pile of ash if the intensity of their hate for your deliberately destructive policies, actions, and failures to act were released at once.

I think of an entire generation of Middle Eastern Christians, Yasidis, and others, in the hundreds of thousands, who have been wiped from the face of the earth because you would not defend them in their desperate need. Yet you and your cowardly minions seek to placate the most infamous of America's enemies by signing an unconstitutional "deal" with Iran while they spit in our face.

Your craven inability to recognize the danger you have caused the world by funding racism, stampeding millions of refugees from the Middle East into "Christian" Europe where they are causing chaos and mayhem will be responsible for true world war - soon.

Dream on you pathetic little man. You will be remembered as a weakling and a charlatan who, in former Vice President Cheney's words, " [successfully brought] America down".

Just when I thought I could escape more talk about America's dire condition (moral, military and mental) I spot a paragraph from Michael Savage, which exactly captures my own concerns. I can't escape the belief that we are already in the fringe winds of a perfect storm. This is a quick summary of that remark:

"A major battle in a war over the future of Western civilization has been lost as millions of migrants from the Middle East who largely oppose Judeo-Christian values and have no intention of assimilating flood the United States, Britain, France, Germany and other nations, talk-radio host Michael Savage told his listeners Tuesday."

Discussing the issue of open borders in America he says ' ...many who come “have no intention of assimilating and living the American dream” but prefer to “co-opt America for their own purposes.”

It may not be too late for America. It's hard to tell at this point but it doesn't look too good. I believe Europe may not recover its thousand-year-old culture. Muslims fleeing Islamic jihadist butchers by the millions have created a human tsunami which has overwhelmed the Judeo-Christian west.

"Paraphrasing an email, Savage said that what German Chancellor Angela Merkel is "doing to Germany, what the weakling is doing to England, what the socialist is doing to France, what Obama the psychopath is doing to America, will render this country non-existent in less than 50 years."

"Savage claims Marlow’s observation isolates only half the problem. He forewarned, “If we thought we had problems with illegals coming from south of the border, that is nothing compared to what is coming if Barry from Honolulu is allowed to bring in 100,000 Syrian Muslims, most of whom are military age men.” On the radio a few days ago, Savage said that “we lost the battle” and was asked by callers if he was a “defeatist?” But he asserts that he didn’t say “we lost the war, but we lost the battle.”

The former Prime Minister of Australia shares Savage's view: “All countries that say ‘anyone who gets here can stay here’ are now in peril, given the scale of the population movements that are starting to be seen,” Mr. Abbott, a conservative, said on Tuesday during a lecture honoring the British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Mr. Abbott recommended the same approach for Europe. “This means turning boats around, for people coming by sea,” he said. “It means denying entry at the border, for people with no legal right to come. And it means establishing camps for people who currently have nowhere to go.” " Such a tough policy would “gnaw at our consciences, yet it is the only way to prevent a tide of humanity surging through Europe and quite possibly changing it forever” he said.

This world is about to explode, and American government won't even tell its citizens to duck and cover.

If you want to get a quick idea of what's happening in the world I can't think of a better way than to click on to the DRUDGE REPORT. It will show you the good, bad, and ugly in a hurry. Unfortunately, it's often mostly bad and ugly, but that's reality. Let's take an especially ugly fact playing out on DRUDGE.

Many conservatives expect American assets to be attacked by some combination of Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran before the end of Obama's final year in office. Iran has repeatedly broadcast its intention to attack and destroy Israel in its Islamic mandate to rid the world of all "unbelievers" in Islam. The US is the targeted "great Satan" while Israel is targeted as the lesser demon.

Iran is on a roll in its preparations for war. The Obama administration, in its greatest act of treachery towards America, has unleashed the dogs of war by signing the unconstitutional nuclear "deal" with Iran (by fiat, his executive order). He not only let Iran off the leash (sanctions) he has financed this terrorist state with the practical equivalent a trillion dollars in spending money. Iran can now build or buy any number of weapons of mass destruction they wish - and they are off to the races. Every Middle East nation who happens to be an enemy of Iran is now frantically preparing a nuclear-based defensive, since they no longer believe the US can be trusted to defend them.

Israel is in a precarious position as never before, with Russia, Iran, and North Korea, and China (all nuclear enemies) converging on her. How can a nuclear war be avoided now? Americans have no idea how extensive those nations have re-armed. Russia, nearly broke, is pouring money into high-tech armaments, particularly electromagnetic pulse weapons - already deployed. All are aggressively expanding their influence.

At the same time Obama has weakened US defense capabilities as never before.

Americans must pay attention to what is happening on the military front. At least then they will be less surprised when we are attacked, before Obama sneaks out of office.
