Joe Biden is a fracking liar

Joe Biden apparently will say anything to anyone depending on what he believes they need to hear that will get him their vote. That is exactly what he tried to get away with in the second presidential debate.

When President Trump said that Biden would end fracking, an environmentally clean way to remove oil from the earth, the former Vice President denied he ever said it. 

At that moment, Trump probably should have asked Biden if he was lying or if he simply forgot he said it.

But Biden said it and he said it clearly. That was when he was trying to grab the Bernie Sanders' communist followers.

In the first video [below] President Trump played video of Biden and his running mate, Kamala "HaHaHa" Harris both asserting that they would end fracking and the fossil fuel industry. 

The Democrats are hoping your memory is short or you're as gullible as the frog climbing on the back of the scorpion to cross the creek.

This should leave no doubt that the left will do to the oil industry what the Japanese did to Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Anyone living in Pennsylvania, Ohio or Texas, if they care for their economy, should not vote for these clowns. 

Fox News' "The Five," a show that's becoming increasingly more difficult to watch unless you put Juan Williams on 'mute,' had their take back in September regarding the Biden fracking plan. 

The video [below] is a quick take on Biden in this regard.  Note how Williams seems like a deer caught in the headlights when the question is put to him. But the best part is Greg Gutfeld's take.

So if you want to know who won the debate on Thursday, I believe Trump did, without a doubt. He was disciplined and prepared. 

The one thing I believe he needed to do, however, is put more meat on the bone when speaking about an issue. He often says things in such a way that he leaves out the background, as if the entire audience is familiar with the "story" he's telling. For example, when he mentioned that Biden would ban fracking, had he told the story of when and where he said he would ban it, the denial he ever said it would ring false.

It's too late to change anything now, but let's not forget that Trump won the presidency and he. just. might. go. all. the. way. again!

Vote. Do not think your vote is unimportant. If every Republican thought that way, Trump will lose. 

Vote like your future depends on it.

Because it does.

Bill O'Reilly gone from Fox News

Bill O'Reilly is no longer going to be the Fox News icon--he's done. He has been forced out as a prime-time host after it has been disclosed that multiple settlements involving sexual harassment allegations have been made against him.

O'Reilly's ouster ends his two-decades as the most popular and influential cable TV commentator.

"After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the company and Bill O'Reilly have agreed that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel," 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, said in a statement.

To the credit of Fox News Channel, they stood by O'Reilly even after the allegations of sexual harassment were piled on. He reached settlements with five women to the tune of around $13 million.

Apparently, after more than 50 advertisers abandoned O'Reilly's show, "The Factor," it was time for Fox to call it quits. 

The New York Times reported that inside the company, women were outraged and questioned whether Fox executives were "serious about maintaining a culture based on 'trust and respect,' as they had promised last summer when another sexual harassment scandal forced the ouster of Fox News' chairman, Roger Ailes."

O'Reilly, 67, didn't comment on his status since he left on vacation last week, but his attorney issued a statement Tuesday calling it a "smear campaign" by liberal opponents. It said that Mr. O'Reilly "has been subjected to a brutal campaign of character assassination that is unprecedented in post-McCarthyist America.

With the 8 p.m. spot empty, Fox will move Tucker Carlson in that time-slot and move "The Five" from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Beginning May 1st, Eric Bolling will debut a one-hour program at 5:00 p.m. Martha MacCallum's show, "First 100 Days" will remain permanent. Perhaps they will rename it "First 1461 Days" to cover President Trump's first term in office.

O'Reilly's departure follows that of Roger Ailes who, nine months ago, was forced out as chairman after a sexual harassment lawsuit by former host Gretchen Carlson and at least six other women, all of which he denied. One of those women is Megyn Kelly who also clashed with O'Reilly and has since left Fox for liberal NBC last December.

The message that Rupert Murdoch and his sons are sending is that there is now a change in the company's culture and harassment is unacceptable.

Geraldo says 2nd Amendment is stupid

Watching "The Five" when Geraldo Rivera is on the panel is like watching a flaming liberal throw a hissy-fit with conservatives. In order to successfully accomplish this arduous task, it is best to take an anti-nausea medication and several glasses of wine. But what Rivera tweeted out in the middle of the San Bernadino terrorist attack was too disgusting to assuage.

The self-described "war journalist" and hero extraordinaire tweeted: "Mass shooting in San Bernadino California at a Center for the Developmentally Disabled WTF! The 2nd Amendment is Stupid!!! Don't rationalize."

Rivera loves to call the Second Amendment "stupid" because he doesn't seem to know why it isn't stupid, which makes him stupid. 

Last August a firearms instructor was accidentally killed by a 9-year-old boy on the gun range. The day of the shooting, Rivera posted on Facebook (which for a TV personality is a stupid thing to do, and you will understand why when you read below).

"Like I always say, the 2nd Amendment, the provision that gives every American the right to keep and bear arms, is blind and stupid. In its relentless pimping for the gun industry, the NRA has unleashed an avalanche of deadly weapons on this gun-crazy country. Just as it protects access to weapons for cops and hunters, it also protects access to weapons for domestic abusers, mental patients, jerk-offs on the no-fly list, all-around dim bulbs, and now little children."

So for Rivera, the Second Amendment is stupid in all cases, which is incredibly stupid to say. 

Our founding fathers were wise enough to know that absolute power corrupts absolutely, and taking that power from the people, as Hitler did back in the 30's by confiscating all guns, was his way to make the country impotent to stop his rise to dictator.

A Weiner-esque moment

The claim that "the NRA has unleashed an avalanche of deadly weapons on this gun-crazy country" is like saying "that crazy guy, Henry Ford, has unleashed an avalanche of deadly automobiles on this car-crazy country."

The fact that Rivera used terms like "jerk offs" and "WTF" on his Facebook page doesn't show that he's 'cool' or 'fresh,' it shows that he's stupid.

Stupid people believe that guns, not people, kill. They also believe that if you impose strict gun-control laws (which everyone knows is just the start of total gun confiscation the left wants) there will be fewer murders. 

How can you buy a gun if they're outlawed?

Duh.

Fox News Blues

As a staunch conservative, I read lots of conservative blogs, read the Washington Times, and watch The Five on Fox News.

I'm thinking of giving up on the latter, however, because it's becoming too tedious to sit through the show while uber liberal, Geraldo Rivera and his mustache, constantly interrupt whoever is making a point I would like to hear in total.

His blatant narcissism is on par with another great American hero, Brian Williams. I suspect Geraldo and Brian went on nation-saving missions together.

I appreciate that Greg Gutfeld tries stop Rivera from filibustering, but Fox News in general, is having liberals take over the conversation. I include Bill O'Reilly in that assessment, but certainly less so than for The Five or Hannity. 

The problem with Hannity, as I see it,  is that he usually needs to inject his opinion into the response of someone who is in the process of giving his or her opinion, and he always seems to be ticking off the same talking points, night after night.

Juan Williams is more likable, sort of, but even he can get obnoxious and will often filibuster his liberal points, frequently interrupting whenever someone with a brain wants to speak.



Now that I have a PVR, I record some of the Fox News programs (as I'm doing even now as I write this at around 5 pm--get it?) and I simply fast forward through the "Hi, I'm William Devane" gold commercials, and the times when Geraldo's or Juan's lips are moving.

It both saves time and aggravation.

Why I'm No Longer Going to Watch The Five on Fox News

My favorite television program for several years has been The Five on Fox News Network. Nobody in my family will bother me on weekdays at 5:00 pm because they know I'll be glued to my TV. And honestly, I'm not a big TV guy--I generally can do without it, but I enjoy the humor of Greg Gutfeld, the intelligence of Dana Perino (not to say Gutfeld isn't brilliant in his own way), as well as Andrea Tantaros, Kimberley Guilfoyle, and the rest of the regular staff. But I can no longer tolerate Bob Beckel.

Beckel is a foul-mouth liberal whose greatest source of pride seems to me to be the fact that his father marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. fifty years ago. I disagree with most of Beckel's politics, and that's to be expected because he's a liberal, but I will not tolerate him calling white people in Texas, who are in favor of voter ID, "Crackers." He has gone over the line again, and I've decided to use my time more wisely at 5:00 pm.

I am not a person who looks to have people removed from their livelihood. People need to work (except for Obama's Food Stamp Forces) and provide for their family. But I don't have to support them and I refuse to do this in Beckel's case. 

I generally find Fox News to be, as they claim, "fair and balanced." It seems, however, that the fairness they espouse is not reciprocated by most media on the left, and I think it's time conservatives stop accepting this imbalance. I say shut off the microphones on both sides once they've had their time to speak, and allow the other side to respond--that's fair and balanced. 

But Beckel--he needs to be disciplined for his foul mouth. As for me, I'm done with Beckeling.

Snowden is Missing and So is Transparency

Edward Snowden was fired today from Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH, humbug) and is likely in hiding. This young man is a hero to himself, his girlfriend pole-dancer, and some others who believe that what he did was justified because it is unconstitutional when the government decides to collect information on its citizens without just cause. Others believe that national security trumps the privacy of our phone numbers. Of course, there is that little thing called email that changes the story quite a bit--email contains actual words, messages, private thoughts, that the government can acquire. That sounds over the top, to me. 

I Said I Wouldn't But I Did--I Lied

They say people lie a lot more than they think they do. In a Psychology Today article by Allison Kornet, (May 1, 1997), the author cites a study done in the prior year. 

Bella DePaulo, a psychologist from the University of Virginia, did a study on lying using 147 subjects between the ages of 17 and 71 and had them keep a diary of all the lies they told over the course of a week. She discovered from the diaries that most people lie between once and twice a day. In social exchanges lasting at least 10 minutes, both men and women lie about one fifth of the time. Over the course of a week, people lie about 30 percent of those with whom they react with on a one-to-one basis. Kids lie to their parents about half the time. And so it goes.

A sturdy wooden chair

I feel better about this, because I lied when I said that I would never watch The Five on Fox News ever again because Bob Beckel, the die-hard liberal, was on it, and his presence annoyed me to the point of boycotting the show. Well, I've changed my tune and I am once again watching The Five. In fact, it wasn't very long after my blog about never watching it again that I did, in fact, tune in. Beckel got me angry, as usual, but I came to realize that without listening to the other point of view, the lunatic ranting liberal viewpoint, that is, I was being narrow minded and less informed.

It's important to hear liberal thinking because it only solidifies your conservative opinions even more. And it also provides you with material to add to your own discourse agenda. So expect to hear more about the Shadow of Michael Moore in the future from me. 


And please forgive me for lying, for I knew not what I did .  .  .  wait, that's a lie.
