For the first time in days it’s not drenching and flooding. Oh, there’s a little hail here and there. A few scattered thunder-boomers. The wetland across the road is extremely wet. And my waterfall (yes, I have my own personal waterfall, but only when the weather is like this) is merrily burbling away.<\/p>\n

Other than that, it’s lovely. Blue. Dry.<\/p>\n

Gave me a chance to put the dogs in the yard and go out and tape up a few more seams on Old Blue. Taping worked as a proof-of-concept but I apparently missed a few spots, first go-round.<\/p>\n

More weather tomorrow.<\/p>\n

But my roof doesn’t leak. Thank you, beautiful people, for that.<\/p>\n

On another subject: This is poorly sourced<\/a>. Well, actually not sourced at all, so take it for what it’s worth. It’s from a DC gossip site that has no love for Our Glorious Leader and the “news” might have been made up out of spiderwebs and tissue paper. But it’s sooooo believable.<\/p>\n

If you wondered why Obama’s Oval Office speech the other night seemed even more lame and disconnected from reality than usual:<\/p>\n

Immediately after the San Bernardino terror attack, the President of the United States was said to be initially interested in the events to the point of outright excitement for the opportunity to once again make a call for enhanced federal gun control measures \u2013 which he did. <\/p>\n

Within hours of the attack it became clear to federal officials that Islamic terror played an integral role.<\/p>\n

Once that was known, Mr. Obama\u2019s enthusiasm is said to have \u201cwaned considerably.\u201d And then when the L.A. FBI office went public with calling San Bernardino a terrorist attack, both Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett went into \u201cwarpath mode.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jarrett\u2019s displeasure was apparently first to make itself known. She was outraged the FBI had done so without first getting prior approval from her. Jarrett was said to be particularly concerned with the proximity of the FBI\u2019s terror designation and the president\u2019s quick words on calling for more gun control measures soon after the actual San Bernardino terror attack….<\/p>\n

At one point, the president is said to have flung several papers onto the floor of the Oval Office as he sat behind his desk stewing over Director\u2019s Comey\u2019s now-infamous terrorist attack remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was supposed to be a gun issue for us, not some anti-Islamic bullsh*t!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article is titled “Obama Dragged to Address Terror Threat Kicking and Screaming.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Made me laugh.<\/p>\n

Morons imagine they govern us.<\/p>\n
