RANDOM SHOTS - Obama Lies Again, More HealthCare Cancellations Coming, Benghazi Consulate Pled For Their Lives, and More!

FIRST SHOT!

Second Wave of HealthCare Plan Cancellations Coming Soon!

A new and independent analysis of ObamaCare warns of a ticking time bomb, predicting a second wave of 50 million to 100 million insurance policy cancellations next fall -- right before the mid-term elections next year.

The next round of cancellations and premium hikes is expected to hit employees, particularly of small businesses.

While the administration has tried to downplay the cancellation notices hitting policyholders on the individual market by noting they represent a relatively small fraction of the population, the swath of people who will be affected by the shake-up in employer-sponsored coverage will be much broader.

An analysis by the American Enterprise Institute shows the administration anticipates half to two-thirds of small businesses would have policies canceled or be compelled to send workers onto the ObamaCare exchanges.

They predict up to 100 million small and large business policies could be cancelled next year.

Under the health care law, businesses with fewer than 50 workers do not have to provide health coverage. But if they do, the policies will still have to meet the benefit standards set by ObamaCare.

For workers, their experience could mirror that of the already 5 Million or so Americans on the individual market who have already received cancellation notices because their plans did not meet new standards under the Affordable Care Act.

Though the administration describes these accounts as "anecdotal" -- and has already delayed the employer mandate by a year -- studies suggest otherwise.

The International Franchise Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have studied the impact and say the president's health care law has resulted in higher costs and fewer full-time positions.

A survey showed 31 percent of franchise businesses, and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses, have already reduced worker hours.

It also showed 27 percent of franchise businesses, and 12 percent of non-franchise businesses, have replaced full-time workers with part-time employees.

So goes the "fundamental CHANGE" that Obama supporters asked for!

Yes, those who voted for Obama are to blame here!

I can only hope that the people in the pictures, those who blindly supported the unqualified liar to be President, get their HealthCare cancellation notices first.

Yes, that would only be justice!

Benghazi Consulate was "Pleading For Their Lives" on Night of Attack

November 20, 2013, FoxNews.com, Catherine Herridge reported that State Department employees at the Benghazi compound knew they were in a death trap and made a series of radio distress calls to the CIA annex during the terror assault last year.

That is a fact according to congressional sources familiar with recent testimony on the attack from five CIA personnel.

Sources told Fox News that the radio calls, which were described in closed testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, were characterized as almost frantic, with State Department employees who knew they could not defend themselves "pleading" for their lives.

When the CIA team arrived from the annex about a mile away, they found the State Department employees without guns that could adequately protect them; one of the agents was found hiding in the consulate, apparently in a closet.

The testimony lends more weight to repeated claims, in the wake of the attack, that the consulate was not adequately protected despite being located in a volatile and violent area prone to attack.

When the CIA personnel were asked for their reaction to the administration's initial explanation that an anti-Islam video and a demonstration gone awry were to blame for the attack, Fox News is told they were seething with anger because everything on the ground -- from their perspective -- showed it was a premeditated attack.

At least three of the five -- who were all in Benghazi -- responded to the scene that night.

The witnesses testified that five mortars rained down on the annex in less than a minute.

They pointed to those details as more evidence of a professionally trained team, describing the attack on the annex as akin to a professional hit on the operation in order to drive it out of Benghazi.

Congressional sources say the testimony seems to further conflict with and undercut the briefing three days after the attack by then-CIA Director David Petraeus, who likened the attack to a flash mob.

When pressed on the number and precision of the mortars, Petraeus offered that Benghazi was flooded with mortars, and played down their accuracy by suggesting they could have been fired from the back of a pick-up truck.

When then secretary of state Hillary Clinton appeared on the Hill, first she tried to claim that no one knew it was a terrorist attack while emphasising that it was due to their made up story about on the anti-Islam Youtube video; then she said, "What difference does it make?!"

Someone should have told her that there is a big difference in getting help to try to save the lives of four American versus simply letting them die by not bothering to get them any help at all!

Oprah and Bill Clinton get National Awards

Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton were among the 16 other Democrat campaign donors who were awarded Medals of Freedom by President Obama this morning at the White House.

It proved out the fact that you can be a racist as in the case of Oprah and a liar who came within a few votes of being Impeached as President as in the case of Bill Clinton -- and still be seen as great Americans by the Obama White House.

FOURTH SHOT!

Obama The Liar Rides Again!

It was reported that Obama lied again during a HealthCare conference call with his supporters, all community organizers, claiming that "more than 100 MILLION Americans' have enrolled" in the

Monday evening he held a conference call with his most ardent supporters, Organizing for Action.

During the conference call, Obama told his supporters that nearly one-third of the entire population of the United States has signed up for ObamaCare.

Imagine that!

In reality, Health and Human Services announced the ObamaCare enrollment numbers for the first 32 days of this expanded open enrollment period was 26,794.

If it is true that liar liar pants on fire, than Obama is smoke'n!

A Few Fun Facts About The U.S. Constitution

1. The 13th amendment that Abolished Slavery: 100% Republican support, 22% Democratic support.

2. The 14th amendment which Granted Citizenship to Freed Slaves: 100% Republican support, 0% Democratic support.

3. The 15th amendment which granted Black Americans the Right to Vote: 100% Republican support 0% Democratic support.

Yes, Republicans, and not Democrats, have been the real Champions of Civil Rights for Black Americans - but if you listen to Democrats its not that way at all!

Our American heritage and history is something that needs to be remembered, especially when being told the opposite of what really took place.

And yes, factual history is good to know, even if it breaks your Liberal Bullshit Detector whenever a Democrat speaks!



Liberal Bullshit Detector


Story by Tom Correa

Oprah calls Obama's Critics Racists and says Death Is The Answer

Dear Readers,

Oprah Winfrey says that President Obama's critics are motivated by racism, and that death is the answer.

Did she mean that death is the only way to stop us who criticize the president? Sounds like it to me.

Though Oprah Winfrey is one of the wealthiest women in the world, let's be frank here and admit that Liberals like her, especially those in the Entertainment Industry, just aren't very bright.

Take for example, the old super-lib Barbra Streisand who once said, "Republican control of the House has resulted in poison in the water, salmonella in the food, carbon dioxide in the air and toxic waste in the ground." 

Yes, she said it as if it were true. Just as if she believes that Republicans are responsible for every ill in the world including the Black Plague, the fall of Rome, and the attack on 9/11.

And yes, Whoopi Goldberg did in fact utter the very stupid statement, "I don't really view communism as a bad thing."

Jane Fonda put Communism this way, saying, "I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."

Of course, that's coming from two wealthy women who understand nothing about the real world practical application of Communism as applied by Stalin and Mao -- who of course slaughtered millions of their own people and exported death around the world all in an attempt to enslave mankind for the good of the Communist Party.

When it comes to anti-Constitution celebrities, we'd have to search pretty hard to find one who tops the big Rosie. Yes, Rosie O'Donnell obviously believes that the 2nd Amendment should be null and void.

We know this because she said, "I think there should be a law - and I know this is extreme - that no one can have a gun in the U.S."

As much as Big Rosie would love being the number one anti-American in Hollywood with the dumbest quote, she's only tied with Janeane Garofalo who said, "Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride."

But no, not all ignorant quotes from celebrities come from those who may profit from being an American -- but hate America.

For example, academy award winning actress actor Meryl Streep decided to show her ignorance of the uses of oil besides that of using it for cars, by saying, "If everybody that had two cars had a Prius instead of an SUV, we wouldn't be in the Middle East right now." 

Of course no one told her that electric cars means a need for more electrical power, which of course means more power plants, which means more coal or nuclear energy use -- but those are just pesky details that liberals are not good with. 

Besides, she probably does care about that other half a barrel of oil which is used to make over 6,000 commonly used household products that have absolutely nothing to do with cars or energy.

But again, why let little details like that ruin a stupid quote from a celebrity. 

Singer/environmentalist Sheryl Crow famously said, "I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required."

And no, I don't even want to speculate on her personal hygiene habits.

Of course there was actor Richard Gere who told an audience in New York City right after 9/11, "In a situation like this, of course you identify with everyone who's suffering. But we must also think about the terrorists who are creating such horrible future lives for themselves because of the negativity of this karma. It's all of our jobs to keep our minds as expansive as possible. If you can see the terrorists as a relative who's dangerously sick and we have to give them medicine, and the medicine is love and compassion. There's nothing better."

This week we had a couple of really stupid celebrities come out and prove to the world just how truly dumb they are.

First it was Tom Cruise who compared "acting" to actually fighting in Afghanistan, then it was my favorite racist -- Oprah Winfrey.

The gal that is in fact one of the richest people in the entire world, says some really dumb things. 

This is not new because I read a few weeks or so ago where she actually said it before, but while promoting her movie "The Butler" in Great Britain, Oprah Winfrey said that critics of Barack Obama are motivated by racism.

There is nothing new about celebs calling whites racist, but they don't see themselves as racists - yet there is a lot of evidence pointing to black racism against every other race in America.

But being frank, their favorite targets are white people - both physically violent and through statements which the media gives them a pass for saying.

Take for example Jamie Foxx talking about his movie "Django Unchained," he said, "I play a slave. How black is that? I have to wear chains. How whack is that? But don’t worry. I get free. I save my wife and I kill all the white people in the movie. How great is that?"

As racist as that is, it doesn't really rank very high when compared to the very ignorant

Oprah Winfrey during this last week.

As I said, that's not really that new because she did say it before when she called all white people racists deep down.

In that interview, she said that a white person didn't have to utter a slur or say anything offensive at all -- she said that it was needed because deep down all white people are racists.

What makes this quote different is that this time she said that ultimately, "demographic pruning" would be needed to stamp out racism.

No kidding!

Oprah told BBC's Will Gompertz, "There are still generations of [white] people, older [white] people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they [those white people] just have to die."

Gompertz also asked Winfrey if it had ever crossed her mind that Obama has faced racism.

"Probably it's crossed my mind more times than it's crossed your mind," she said. "I think that there is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he is African American. There's no question about that and it's the kind of thing nobody ever says but everybody's thinking it."

This is not the first time Winfrey has made such statements regarding race.

Yes, earlier this year, she falsely claimed that "millions" of blacks were lynched because of race.

"You cannot be my friend and use that word around me. It shows my age, but I feel strongly about it. … I always think of the millions of people who heard that as their last word as they were hanging from a tree," she told Parade magazine in July.

The Tuskegee Institute, however, put the number of lynchings both black and white between 1882 and 1968 at 4,743, far short of the "millions" claimed by Winfrey.

Today, the Democrat Party does not want to own up to its Racist and Segragationist past policies.

And yes, they certainly don't want Americans to know that white Republicans in the South during the Reconstruction Era there to help freed blacks were also lunched routinely by that great Democrat organization called the Ku Klux Klan.

Since Obama's 2008 election, Liberals have reacted like Pavlov's dogs to any criticism of the president by falsely accusing those critics of racism.

Now, can you imagine if some white man or woman said the same things that Oprah said but in reverse?

Imagine the uproar if a white person came out and told BBC's Will Gompertz, "There are still generations of [black] people, younger [black] people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they [those young blacks] just have to die before anything gets better."

Can you imagine the uproar?

Yes, there's no question about the racism which Oprah exhibits. And yes, I see Oprah Winfrey as part of the problem with America today.

She is successful, wealthy, powerful, and influential. She has made a great deal of money and had helped put a man without any experience or competence in the White House.

She did not do it for reasons such as skill, leadership qualities and outstanding qualifications, but rather simply because of his skin color.

Then, when that man reveals himself as being crooked, a liar, and is totally incompetent - she defends him by calling his critics racists.

She is so totally consumed with defending Barack Obama's failure as president that she is ignoring the fact that even black people see him for who he really is - a total failure.

Oprah is a racist, but also clever.  She knows too well that its much easier to call white people racists, than to have to explain why over 55% of the black Americans who voted for Obama - now say they wish they hadn't.

The BLM, Wild Horses & Burros

Dear Readers,

Since some of you have written asking about the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and their administration of the Wild Horses and Burros on America's public lands, I figured that I'd look it up and get what I could regarding this subject.

A lot of the facts below come from the National Academy of Sciences and the BLM, as well as a few more sources.

Controversy over roundups of wild horses roaming the ranges in 10 Western states is reaching a boil, with ranchers, horse advocates and even the government itself in agreement that the Bureau of Land Management's Wild Horse and Bureau Program is "out of control."

The National Academy of Sciences released a review almost earlier this year on the BLM’s controversial wild horse program, saying “continuation of business-as-usual practices will be expensive and unproductive for BLM and the public it serves.”

Does the Interior Department and BLM intend to embrace the reforms included the report and if so when-- or would they not?

Since 1971, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of the U.S. Department of the Interior has been responsible for managing the majority of free-ranging horses and burros on arid federal public lands in the western United States.

In the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, the U.S. Congress charged the BLM with the “protection, management, and control of wild free-roaming horses and burros on public lands.”

BLM was charged to protect America's Wild Horses because, the legislation noted, “wild free-roaming horses and burros are living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West … and [they] are fast disappearing from the American scene.”

In the mid-20th century, horse and burro populations were affected by competing uses for the land, including livestock grazing, and by roundups, from which the animals were often sold for slaughter.

The protection provided in the 1971 legislation built on the "Wild Horse Annie Act" (P.L. 86-234), passed in 1959, which prohibited the use of motorized vehicles, including aircraft, to hunt free-ranging horses and outlawed the poisoning of watering holes on public lands.

The agency was also tasked with managing and controlling the population because of the multiple uses of public lands.

Public lands provide habitat to horses and burros, but they are also used for recreation, mining, forestry, grazing for livestock, and habitat for wildlife, including mule deer, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep.

Because of that, although the act stipulated that free-ranging horses and burros were "an integral part of the natural system of the public lands" and were to be managed "as components of the public lands"  -- it limited their range by definition to “their known territorial limits” in 1971.

Such public lands were to be "devoted principally but not exclusively to [horse and burro] welfare in keeping with the multiple-use management concept of public lands."

In addition, horses and burros were to be managed at "the minimal feasible level."

BLM management of the Wild Horse and Burros should "achieve and maintain a thriving natural ecological balance on the public lands, protect wildlife habitat, and prevent range deterioration."

That goal is been giving the BLM fits!

Population:

Free-ranging horses and burros have successfully sustained populations in North America for over 300 years, and no large predator widely overlaps with their territory.

Horses became domesticated about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago in the region of the Black Sea. Once man tamed the horse, horses performed many duties.

Horses are herd animals. They live in groups and help one another survive.

The word mustang comes from the Spanish word "mustengo," which means “ownerless beast.”

The American mustangs originally came from the Spanish stock of horses brought to America in the beginning of the 16th century.

Besides living in Western states: California, Nevada, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, North Dakota and New Mexico, America's Wild Horses also live on islands off the Atlantic coast, as well as on the mainland.

Small populations of horses live on Sable Island (Canada), Assateague Island (coast of Maryland and Virginia), Shackleford Island (off the coast of North Carolina) and Cumberland Islands (off the coast of Georgia).

Over 100 years ago there were an estimated 2 million mustangs roaming the range. While the number varies depending what source is used, between 42,000 and 25,000 mustangs roam the United States today.

The BLM estimates that 40,605 wild horses and burros (about 33,780 horses and 6,825 burros) are roaming on BLM-managed range-lands in 10 Western states, based on the latest data available, compiled as of February 28, 2013.

Wild horses and burros have virtually no natural predators and their herd sizes can double about every four years.

As a result, the agency must remove thousands of animals from the range each year to control herd sizes.

The estimated current free-roaming population exceeds by nearly 14,000 the number that the BLM has determined can exist in balance with other public range-land resources and uses.

The maximum appropriate management level (AML) is approximately 26,677.

Off the range, as of October 2013, there were 49,103 other wild horses and burros fed and cared for at short-term corrals and long-term pastures.

Specifically, there were 14,269 horses and 1,261 burros in corrals - for a total of 15,530 animals] and 33,573 horses in pastures.

The combined figure of 49,103 animals in holding compares to the BLM's total holding capacity of 52,909.

All wild horses and burros in holding, like those roaming Western public range-lands, are protected by the BLM under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.

Acreage:

In 1971, when Congress passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, these animals were found roaming across 53.8 million acres known as Herd Areas of which 42.4 million acres were under the BLM's jurisdiction.

Today the BLM manages wild horses and burros in 179 subsets of these Herd Areas - known as Herd Management Areas - that comprise 31.6 million acres, of which 26.9 million acres are under BLM management.

"So what happened to the 'missing' 22.2 million acres on which wild horses and burros were found roaming?"

Good question. What happened to the 22.2 Million Acres?

In 1971, wild horses and burros were found roaming across 53.8 million acres of Herd Areas, of which 42.4 million acres were under the BLM's jurisdiction.

Today the BLM manages wild horses and burros in 179 subsets of these Herd Areas (known as Herd Management Areas) that comprise 31.6 million acres, of which 26.9 million acres are under BLM management.

So what happened to the 22.2 million acres on which these animals were originally found roaming?

The answer may surprise you, or make you angry!

Fact is, no specific amount of acreage was “set aside” for the exclusive use of wild horses and burros under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.

The Act directed the BLM to determine the areas where horses and burros were found roaming and to manage them "in a manner that is designed to achieve and maintain a thriving natural ecological balance on the public lands."

The law also stipulated in Section 1339 that "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize the [Interior] Secretary to relocate wild free-roaming horses or burros to areas of the public lands where they do not presently exist."

Of the 22.2 million acres no longer managed for wild horse and burro use:

• 6.7 million acres were never under BLM management.

Of the 15.5 million other acres of land under BLM management:

• 48.6 percent (7,522,100 acres) were intermingled ("checkerboard") land ownerships or areas where water was not owned or controlled by the BLM, which made management infeasible;
• 13.5 percent (2,091,709 acres) were lands transferred out of the BLM's ownership to other agencies, both Federal and state through legislation or exchange;
• 10.6 percent (1,645,758 acres) were lands where there were substantial conflicts with other resource values (such as the need to protect habitat for desert tortoise);
• 9.7 percent (1,512,179 acres) were lands removed from wild horse and burro use through court decisions; urban expansion; highway fencing (causing habitat fragmentation); and land withdrawals;
• 9.6 percent (1,485,068 acres) were lands where no BLM animals were present at the time of the passage of the 1971 Act or places where all animals were claimed as private property.

These lands in future land-use plans will be subtracted from the BLM totals as they should never have been designated as lands where herds were found roaming; and

• 8.0 percent (1,240,894 acres) were lands where a critical habitat component (such as winter range) was missing, making the land unsuitable for wild horse and burro use, or areas that had too few animals to allow for effective management.

And of course, the problem with laws is that they have to be followed as written, and no common sense be applied, for example: Under the 1971 Act, horses and burros may not be re-located to other public lands where they were not found roaming when the law was passed.

Pretty sad isn't it.

Budget:

Congress appropriated $74.9 million to the Wild Horse and Burro Program in Fiscal Year 2012, which ended September 30, 2012.

Of that year's expenditures of $72.4 million, holding costs accounted for $43 million or 59.3 percent of the expenditures.

Gathers and removals cost $7.8 million (10.8%); adoption events cost $7.1 million (9.8%).

The $2.5 million difference between appropriations and expenditures is the amount of money “obligated” to certain activities but not actually spent.

Removing Wild Horses and Burros from the Range and Placing Animals in Adoption

To help ensure that herd sizes are in balance with other public range-land resources and uses, the BLM removed 8,255 animals (7,242 horses and 1,013 burros) from the range in Fiscal Year 2012, which ended September 30, 2012.

The Bureau placed 2,583 removed animals into private care through adoption in FY 2012 -- down from 5,701 in FY 2005.

Since 1971, when Congress passed the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, the BLM has adopted out more than 230,000 horses and burros.

Population Growth-Suppression Treatments

The BLM is tasked with the job of monitoring the population size to determine where there is an excess of horses and burros - such a situation is to be identified when “a thriving natural ecological balance and multiple-use relationship” is threatened.

It is BLM’s responsibility to determine when that relationship is under threat and to remove animals to achieve balance.

Legislation allows for the destruction of old, sick, or lame animals, but excess animals removed from the range may be adopted.

By law, those for which there is no adoption demand are to be "destroyed in the most humane and cost efficient manner possible" - however, the destruction of healthy, unadopted free-ranging horses and burros has been restricted either by a moratorium instituted by the director of BLM or by the annual congressional appropriations bill for the Department of the Interior in most years.

The BLM applied 1,051 PZP (porcine zona pellucida) fertility-control treatments to mares in FY 2012.

They released 180 more stallions than mares back into herds during gather operations, for a grand total of 1,195 population growth-suppression treatments in FY 2012.

With regard to a call by advocacy groups for a moratorium on all BLM gathers of herds?

This is said to be untenable for a couple of reasons:

• Given the fact that herds grow at an average rate of 20 percent a year and can double in size every four years.
• The ecosystems of public range-lands are not able to withstand the impacts from overpopulated herds, which include soil erosion, sedimentation of streams, and damage to wildlife habitat.

Sale Authority

About 8,400 wild horses and burros immediately became eligible for sale under the December 2004 sale-authority law (the so-called "Burns Amendment").

This law directs the BLM to sell "without limitation" to any willing buyers animals that are either more than 10 years old or have been passed over for adoption at least three times.

Since 2005, the Bureau has sold more than 5,400 horses and burros.

It has been and remains the policy of the BLM, despite the unrestricted sales authority of the Burns Amendment, not to sell any wild horses or burros to slaughterhouses or to "kill buyers."

The proceeds from the sale of the eligible animals are used for the BLM’s wild horse and burro adoption program, as directed by Congress under the sale-authority law.

BLM Wild Horse Adoption Schedule

Since 1989, adoptions have seldom exceeded the number of animals removed from the range.

In the 2000s, the discrepancy neared a 2:1 ratio of animals removed to animals adopted.

Because of that, the BLM’s effort to control horse and burro numbers by removing animals from the range has led to the stockpiling of “excess” horses and burros in holding facilities.

In fiscal year 2012, more than 45,000 animals were in holding facilities, and their maintenance consumed almost 60 percent of the Wild Horse and Burro Program’s budget.

BLM’s Legal Mandates

The BLM manages the nation’s public lands for multiple uses, in accordance with the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act.

The Bureau manages wild horses and burros as part of this multiple-use mandate.

The BLM manages, protects, and controls wild horses and burros under the authority of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act (as amended by Congress in 1976, 1978, 1996, and 2004).

This law authorizes the BLM to remove excess wild horses and burros from the range to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands.

The problem is that there are those who see America's Wild Horse as a nuisance. Those people believe that Wild Horses and Burros should be eradicated, and access to the land shut off to ranchers.  

As for the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, Section 1333 of that law mandates that once the Interior Secretary "determines...on the basis of all information currently available to him, that an overpopulation exists on a given area of the public lands and that action is necessary to remove excess animals, he shall immediately remove excess animals from the range so as to achieve appropriate management levels."

So with the majority of the horses being in the West, and most likely a political appointee who doesn't know the situation of the problems will be in charge of their destiny, one can only wonder if the remaining horses have a chance at survival.

The Wild Horse situation in America is a problem that bureaucrats in Washington won't be able to figure out.

And sadly, some of those in the field know their jobs are on the line if they voice opposition to some of the relocation and/or removal policies that will lead to the destruction of our Wild Horses.

The goal is supposed to be protecting free-ranging horses and burros while managing and controlling them to achieve a vaguely defined thriving natural ecological balance within the multiple-use mandate for public lands.

This goal has challenged the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program since its inception. And to many today, the BLM is failing to meet the challenge.

What's happened to 1,700 Wild Horses?

The case of the missing mustangs; what happened to 1,700 wild horses?

Story by Lisa Myers and Michael Austin
NBC News

The semis would rumble down country roads packed full of wild horses.

Truckload after truckload, sometimes 36 horses at a time, all with the same destination: a ranch in the small town of La Jara, Colo.

Records show that for years, the Bureau of Land Management sold and shipped more than 1,700 wild horses from its animal holding facilities to just one rancher.

Now federal investigators are trying to figure out: What did he do with all those mustangs? And did any of them ultimately end up being butchered in the slaughter plants of Mexico?

Wild horse advocates fear the worst.

They want to know the truth about the fate of the horses and whether the U.S. government looked the other way as the federally protected animals seemingly disappeared.

“I want to know where the horses went,” said Laura Leigh of the group Wild Horse Education, which advocates on behalf of the wild mustangs.

“It’s disgusting, it’s abhorrent. Whoever signed that slip to approve those sales, I want to look them in the eye and say, ‘What were you thinking?’”

Federal investigation

The BLM is charged with protecting wild horses under federal law and has confirmed that the Interior Department Office of Inspector General is investigating the agency’s sale of mustangs to rancher and livestock hauler Tom Davis.

The Davis investigation comes amid a growing controversy over the BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program.

The agency faces a dire situation: Nearly 50,000 horses captured during frequent roundups, so-called “excess animals,” are living in government holding facilities that are nearing capacity.

Horse adoptions are down, so the BLM has turned to selling the animals.

The government says Davis, who paid just $10 per head, was the biggest buyer ever of wild horses.

Its sale of the animals to Davis from 2008 to 2012 was uncovered by writer Dave Philipps in a September 2012 story, “All The Missing Horses,” for the nonprofit news organization ProPublica.

The story questioned whether Davis sent the horses to so-called “kill buyers,” middle men who export livestock to meat packing plants in Mexico, but reached no firm conclusion.

At the time, BLM issued this response to the ProPublica story: “The BLM condemns any sale of wild horses for slaughter. We care deeply about the well-being of wild horses, both on and off the range, and the BLM does not sell and has not knowingly sold or sent horses or burros to slaughter.”

Davis did not respond to repeated attempts by NBC News to contact him for comment and his lawyer, former federal prosecutor William Taylor, declined to answer questions about the federal investigation of his client.

But Taylor provided NBC News with a statement criticizing the government for not following part of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act.

While the 1971 law was enacted to protect wild horses, Taylor said, “Congress specifically amended the Act in 2005 to remove ‘excess’ animals from the Department of Interior’s protection, and to force the government to sell those animals without condition. … How does the government have any power under the Act to bring a case based on the sale of excess animals?”

The BLM acknowledges on its website that it is “not in compliance” with that part of the federal law which directs the agency to sell excess animals “without limitation” to any willing buyer, even to those who would slaughter the animals.

Last year, ProPublica reported that Davis is a proponent of slaughtering wild horses in the BLM’s holding system and that he had tried unsuccessfully to obtain funding to open a slaughter plant in Colorado.

“Hell, some of the finest meat you will ever eat is a fat yearling colt,” Davis was quoted as saying, “What is wrong with taking all those BLM horses they got all fat and shiny and setting up a kill plant?”

But Davis denied to ProPublica that he ever knowingly resold any wild horses for slaughter, saying he found “good homes” for the mustangs he purchased from BLM.

Who needs 1,700 horses?

According to BLM sales documents obtained by ProPublica under the Freedom of Information Act, Davis told government officials he wanted the animals to “put on oil fields ... to keep grass controlled” and to “use for movies.”

Horse advocate Leigh said neither of those explanations should have withstood the government’s scrutiny.

“You know, I haven’t seen any Westerns coming out of Mexico with wild horses being stampeded in front of a camera,” she said.

“It’s a joke and it’s not a funny one.”

So-called State Brand Certificates issued by the State of Colorado and obtained by NBC News indicate Davis shipped many of the animals he bought from the BLM to small towns near the Mexican border.

The Colorado brand commissioner says approximately 431 horses shipped from Davis’ property “appear to be BLM horses” that were sent to unspecified addresses in towns in different parts of New Mexico and Texas, including Spofford, Texas, 36 miles from the Eagle Pass border crossing into Mexico.

“It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that there are Mexican slaughterhouses across that border,” said Ginger Kathrens of The Cloud Foundation, a wild horse advocacy group.

“So it’s not a stretch to think that those horses ended up going to slaughter.”

Another advocacy group, the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, has called for the investigation of both Davis and the BLM.

The organization’s director, Suzanne Roy, said, “I think the government looked the other way at what was happening to these horses. ... I think it was willful ignorance on the part of the government.”

Joan Guilfoyle, chief of BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program, told NBC News she does not know what happened to the horses that were sold to Davis, but denied the agency did anything wrong.

“We have no knowledge of him being a person who has ill intent toward the horses,” she said, “so there was no reason to question the purchase of these (animals) because he has to sign the paper that says what his intention is.”

Criticism of roundups is not limited to wild horses.

The BLM also annually removes "excess" wild burros from public lands, mainly in Arizona, Nevada and California.

In this video, wild burro advocates document "aggressive" roundup practices.

As with horse roundups, the BLM defends the operations as humane and says such incidents are isolated and contrary to guidelines.

In fact, 50 BLM bills of sale reviewed by NBC News indicate Davis agreed not to resell the wild horses for slaughter.

On a BLM sales questionnaire, Davis’ name was signed on this declaration: “I agree to provide humane care and to not sell or transfer ownership of any listed wild horse or wild burro to any person or organization with the interest to resell or trade or give away animals for processing into commercial products.”

An official familiar with the Davis investigation told NBC News that investigators are not only trying to determine what happened to the horses, but whether Davis violated any of the conditions of his purchase.

Loyola Law School professor and former federal prosecutor Laurie Levenson said that, based on the bill of sale language, investigators could be trying to determine if there is evidence of a felony violation such as lying or making a false statement to a federal official.

In January 2013, BLM responded to public criticism of its sale of wild horses to Davis by announcing new rules for the agency’s sales program.

In an effort to prevent future large sales of wild horses, the agency issued a memorandum stating: “Without prior approval from the (BLM) assistant director, no more than four wild horses and/or burros may be purchased by an individual or group within a six-month period.”

Horse advocacy groups immediately criticized the new rules as “window dressing.” Laura Leigh of Wild Horse Education said,

“It changes nothing, especially when they add a little fine print in there. There is no change. It creates a press release so BLM can look responsible, like they’re listening to the American public.”

One month later, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., and 20 other members of Congress signed a letter to then-Secretary of Interior Ken Salazar, who oversaw BLM, citing the “substantial public outcry” over the ProPublica story on Davis.

The February 13th, 2013, letter said the co-signers were “troubled by your department’s lack of response to the legitimate concerns raised” by horse advocates and demanded an update about the Inspector’s General investigation.

Grijalava’s office said Salazar never responded to the letter.

Later this year, the Office of Inspector General is expected to present its findings to a U.S. Attorney, who will decide if any charges will be filed against Davis.

Editor's Note:

This article is being published here unedited as it was reported by NBC News so that the public may become more aware of what is taking place with the Wild Horse and Burro care programs under the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management.

Controversy over the BLM 's roundups of wild horses and burros ranging over 10 Western states is coming to a head, with ranchers, horse advocates and even the government acknowledging that the program is heading toward crisis.

I know that we are all being bombarded with more than our share of worries these days.

I know with scandal after scandal coming out of the White House, Democrat politicians screwing us every chance they get, and Obama proving himself a crook and a liar - we have a lot on our plate these days.

Americans have absolutely no trust in our Federal Government, and all for good reason.

Knowing what the BLM is doing and failing to do is one more thing that we as Americans need to be concerned with.

We really have to stop the incompetence coming out of Washington and these government agencies.

We have to do something about Political Appointees who don't know what they are doing and only screwing things up for our future.

Tom Cruise compares Acting to Fighing in Afghanistan

The headline read:

“How F*cking Dare You”, Mark Wahlberg Unloads on Tom Cruise About Veteran Comment

This is one of the biggest lash outs from one actor to another actor in Hollywood. 

TMZ reported that Mark Wahlberg went on a rant and some what directly targeted Tom Cruise and other actors who compare their jobs as entertainers to serving in our nation's military.

Here’s where it all started:

It all happened at an AFI festival last night in L.A., when he was asked about the story regarding Tom Cruise comparing acting to serving in the military in Afghanistan.

Wahlberg simply unloaded saying, “For actors to sit there and talk about ‘oh I went to SEAL training? I don’t give a f**k what you did.”

Mark Wahlberg

“For somebody to sit there and say ‘my job was as difficult as being in the military.’ How f**king dare you, while you sit in a makeup chair for 2 hours!”

In his latest film, "Lone Survivor," Mark Wahlberg plays a Navy SEAL.

In 2012 he visited several soldiers in a surprise trip to Afghanistan. But Wahlberg - who plays Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell in his latest flick - doesn't buy what Tom Cruise is selling.

"You get to go home at the end of the day," Mr Wahlberg said, speaking to how actors have it easy compared to what our troops have to do.

"I don't give a shit if you get your ass busted," he said during a Q&A after the flick. "You get to go home at the end of the day. You get to go to your hotel room. You get to order f*cking chicken. Or your steak. Whatever the f**k it is!"

The only similarity, Mr Wahlberg said, was bonding with his fellow actors - Ben Foster, Taylor Kitsch and Emile Hirsch - whom he calls "brothers" in the similar way that servicemen and women are able to bond during their tours.

Mark Wahlberg's response to a statement from actor Tom Cruise - who touched a lot of nerves when it was reported that he believes his job as a professional actor is as grueling as fighting the war in Afghanistan - is not uncharacteristic for Mark Wahlberg who is a huge supporter of our troops at home and overseas.

Millionaire Tom Cruise really is full of shit!

"That’s what it feels like," Cruise reportedly said in a deposition in the custody battle over daughter Suri. "And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal."


Besides Mark Wahlberg, actor John Stamos took Tom Cruise to task saying, "Acting isn't as tough as getting mani-pedi."

It is said that Tom Cruise has a short man's attitude of thinking he's more important than he really is - this sort of statement speaks to just how full of shit Tom Cruise really is.

Tom Cruise comparing his time away from daughter Suri on movie sets to a soldier's tour in Afghanistan, "That's what it feels like. ... Certainly on this last movie, it was brutal" might fly in Hollywood with those who bow down to actors like Cruise.

Mark Wahlberg and John Stamos show that it doesn't fly with them, they have the class to salute those in harm's way and support their mission.

While our troops need all of our support, they'd probably be the first to say that they can do just fine without the support of someone as classless as Tom Cruise.

Jack Nicholson is "Positively Against" Abortion

Dear Readers,

Facebook has been really a help for me while I check the news headlines of my favorite websites.

But, just as with anything, since we shouldn't believe everything posted, one picture with an editorial had me doubting whether it was true or not?

It seemed to go against the Hollywood norm, the Liberal mindset of the Hollywood folks who have been pushing an agenda of making things like abortion, drug use, anti-Christian immorality, the gay lifestyle, and even pedophilia acceptable in American society today.

As far as I've seen, those that I've just listed appears to be the Hollywood agenda today.

So yes, when I saw the following picture with the editorial that accompanied it, I simply couldn't believe it.

After doing some research and reading the news story below for my self, I forwarded it along on Facebook with this comment:

"Wow, for some reason I didn't expect this from someone in Hollywood. I have the impression they all "like" killing babies as a form of Birth Control.

This report is from September 4th, 2013, by Michael W. Chapman.

Jack Nicholson on Abortion: "I'm Positively Against It -- I Never Would Have Gotten to Live"

(CNSNews.com) -- Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson, 76, who is retiring from movies it was reported today, is, unlike many liberals in Tinseltown, a staunch pro-lifer who said in a 1984 interview about abortion, “I’m positively against it. I don’t have the right to any other view."

He added that it was the moral character of his mother and grandmother that ensured he himself had not been aborted.

The Academy Award-winning Nicholson was born on Apr. 22, 1937 to a woman named June Frances Nicholson, who was 17 years old at the time and a showgirl dancer.

Jack was raised by his maternal grandparents, John Nicholson and Ethel May, believing they were his real parents and that June Frances was his sister.

Jack Nicholson did not find out until 1974, after his mother had died of cancer, that June Frances was his real mother.

In the 1984 Rolling Stone interview, Jack Nicholson described his mother and the life she had lived and also talked about abortion.

He said, “I’m very contra my constituency in terms of abortion because I’m positively against it. I don’t have the right to any other view.”

June Frances Nicholson, mother of actor Jack Nicholson.

“My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life,” said Nicholson. “[If June and Ethel had been] of less character, I never would have gotten to live. These women gave me the gift of life.”

“It’s a feminist narrative in the very pure form,” said Nicholson. “They trained me great, those ladies. I still, to this day, have never borrowed a nickel from anybody and never felt like I couldn’t take care of myself. They made the imperative of my self-sufficiency obvious.”

Nicholson disclosed that he never learned who his father was because the only people who really knew were his mother, June Frances, and his grandmother, Ethel May, and they had died before he even learned, in 1974, the true identity of his mother.

"[T]hey never told anybody," said Nicholson.

June Frances had married showman Donald Furcillo (in October 1936) six months prior to the birth of her son, John Joseph “Jack” Nicholson.

But Furcillo was already married and, also partly because of Furcillo’s reported drinking, the marriage to June Frances did not work out.

In further describing his mother in the interview, Nicholson said, “June and I had so much in common. We both fight hard. It didn’t do her any good not to tell me, but she didn’t because you never know how I would’ve reacted when I was younger. I got a job in Mexico when June was dying. First time with a studio, a lot of weeks. Sandra [Jack’s wife 1962-68] was pregnant with Jennifer [Jack’s daughter], and June was in a terminal state. She looked me right in the eye and said, ‘Shall I wait?’ In other words, ‘Shall I try and fight this through?’ And I said no.”

Nicholson was raised a Roman Catholic, the religion of his mother, and grew up in Neptune City, New Jersey.

He has won three Academy Awards, including best actor for his role in the 1975 film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and the 1997 film “As Good as It Gets.”

RadarOnline.com reported on Sept. 4 that Jack Nicholson was retiring from the movie business apparently, at age 76, because of memory loss problems.

Jack Nicholson has starred in at least 65 films since 1958.

For me, it is nice to find out that I'm wrong in that not all of Hollywood is for the killing of babies.

I connect Liberals, and especially Hollywood Democrats, with abortion simply because that's who "normally" supports abortion.

What makes me angry are the Liberals who come out after a shooting like say what took place at Columbine or at Sandy Hook Elementary, and blame God.  Or use the tragedy to infer that since God "allowed" that to happen, that there must not be a God.

It seems almost like clockwork that some liberal will ask where was Jesus Christ in those situations, why didn't my Christian God do something to prevent that sort of thing from taking place?

It bothers me because of something that I was told once upon a time by an old man who believed in God and fate.

He told me this:

"With every child that is born, a coin is tossed as to whether that child will be good or bad. If bad, than he or she could come to no good and may end up running with a bad crowd or ending up in prison.

If good, than he or she could possible be the one who will stop a senseless killing, save a child from a burning building, rescue a  stranded hiker, raise good children him or herself, or even be the one to find a cure for cancer.

With every abortion, we kill the one that God may have sent to do his good work to stop things like Columbine and Sandy Hook from happening  - or from maybe finding the cure to AIDS or cancer or some other evil that takes people before their time.

So when someone says, 'where was Jesus?' or 'Why didn't God stop this from happening?' ask yourself if maybe God had tried but we aborted the ones he sent to stop it?"

The old man's logic always seemed right to me.

And yes, Jack Nicholson reaffirms that very thing.

If he were aborted, look at what sort of entertainment, what great acting, we would have missed out on.  Look at what good we would have never gotten.

Veterans Day 2013 - Thank You!

Dear Readers,

The above picture of Old Glory was taken when I visited the USS Arizona Memorial.


Today is the day when our nation as a whole says "Veterans, thank you for my freedom."

Men and women, who once wore the uniform of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps, gave something of themselves to our nation - and today we say thanks.

Believe it or not, about 90% of all enlistees go into our nation's military without thinking "What's in it for me?"

Most, if not all, who have served, went into the military with the idea of just wanting to serve our country - this land of our birth, this land that has given us freedoms and liberties unimagined in most parts of the world.

While in the military, many of us worked for hardly no pay at all in comparison to civilians in comparable jobs.

Among the 100s of jobs in the military, we drove tanks, steered aircraft carriers, refueled aircraft, fed thousands three times a day, washed tons of laundry, moved more mail and packages than most small cities, administered medical services, arranged communications, and made sure nuclear generators worked properly.

To give you an example of all 0f the jobs in the military, take for example a modern Aircraft Carrier.

Just one modern Aircraft Carrier needs 5,500 sailors doing a whole assortment of tasks just to get that huge beast of a ship from one point to another. And no, contrary to modern myth, not all aboard are Navy SEALS dressed in cammo and armed to the teeth.

Of the crew, their are electricians, engineers, store keepers, supply personnel, cooks, riggers, clerks, security guards, and just about every other vocation known. All to get the Mission Accomplished.

While all are not Navy SEALS, their individual duties are no less important to accomplishing the mission of making that warship ready for duty.

The same goes for the Army, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, or the Coast Guard. Not everyone is a Sniper. Not everyone is a Tank Commander. Not everyone is a Fighter Pilot.

While those jobs are essential, our military doesn't need everyone to be SEALs, or Snipers, or Fighter Pilots.

We do need those folks in payroll who will make sure our allotment is sent home to our wives and families on time. We need that load master who will ensure that the cargo going aboard that C-5 is secure and gets to others waiting for their gear so that they in turn can do their duty.

There are no menial jobs in the military, because the truth be known - nothing happens without the support personnel who make sure that everyone is ready to do their job.

When I was in the Marine Corps, I was a Grunt, an 0311. But as a Sergeant, I was told that it took 9 Marines to support one Infantryman (Grunt) in the field.

Today, because of computers and so on, I've heard that we can do more with less in the field - but the number of people who make sure that that infantryman has the support he needs to do his job is 21.

As of September 2009, the number of Veterans is put at approximately 23 Million of

According to statistics, between 529,000 and 840,000 Veterans are homeless at some time during the year.

On any given night, it is estimated that 300,000 Veterans are living on the streets or in shelters in the U.S.

Approximately 33% of homeless males in the U.S. are Veterans.

While Veterans represent 11% of the adult civilian population in the U.S., they represent 26% of the homeless population.

Why is this the case?

Well, the primary causes of homelessness among Veterans are:

A lack of income due to limited education and transferable skills from the military to the civilian world - and this is especially true about younger Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; Service-connected physical health and disability issues; Substance abuse problems; a lack of a social network due to adjust to civilian life; and a lack of available services to help Veterans.

Since today is Veterans Day, today is the day that we thank all Veterans.

Remember, whether he worked in an office and had the tough job of contacting loved ones after their son, or daughter, or wife or husband has been killed, or if he or she works in the mess decks of a carrier making sure that all are fed good healthy nutritious meals, or was a truck mechanic, today we take a minute and say thanks.

All of those who served, served preserving our freedom. All gave of themselves so that we can be a free people.



A simple "Thank You" means a lot.

Don't miss the chance to feel good and do the right thing, a simple "Thank You" means a lot.

To you my brother and sister Veterans out there, I want to take this time to say "Thank you. Your service to our nation is appreciated."

May God Always Bless You!

Story by Tom Correa

Mutilated Cows And UFOs?

Dear Readers,

I love stories like this for so many reasons that they're just too many to list.

A reader sent me this story from this last July 30th. He wanted to know my take on this - asking me if I "suspect spacemen"?

As I said before, I love off the wall stories where someone actually has the cojones to say "Aliens did it!"

The news story:

Mutilated Cows Found at Missouri Farm, Police Not Ruling Out the Possibility of Aliens

HENRY COUNTY, Mo. (KMOX) – Who would cut the tongues and take the reproductive organs from several cows?

That’s the mystery police in a small town 90 miles away from Kansas City are dealing with.

Robert Hills, Henry County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy, says the first cow was discovered in December of 2011, the second and third this summer. All were female cows and were owned by rancher Lyn Mitchell.

“We couldn’t see any signs of trauma, and it doesn’t appear that there was any type of wild animal, such as coyotes, that were involved,” Hills told KMOX.

The first cow discovered on Mitchell’s ranch had her tongue and ear removed. Mitchell told KSHB-TV she assumed the mutilation was part of a sacrificial ritual or just teenagers, so she didn’t report it.

The next two discovered on July 9th and 19th of this year had their tongues removed along with their udders, anus, reproductive organs, and ears. A veterinarian wasn’t called to examine the first two cows.

But one did examine the third one.

Mitchell said the veterinarian told her the cuts to the cow were precise and surgical. Also what seems to be the common denominator of all these incidents is the lack of blood and other bodily fluids surrounding the area and inside the animal.

Mitchell told the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) that the third cow’s heart was removed and exposed, but was not taken. She believes that maybe whoever did this was interrupted and she does not rule out the possibility of aliens.

Deputy Hills says decomposition of animals in the summer can cause a certain type of bloating.

“In some cases its apparent that theses are tears, and in other cases they may look like an incision and that’s what they're described as.”

A veterinarian’s report on the third cow is not yet complete. Until then, Hills says this remains an open investigation.

“We’re having to look at this from two sides,” says Hills. “Some people believe that there are aliens that are involved in this or the possibility of the occult going to the other end of the spectrum, we’ve talked to other people that say that just when cows die that’s what happens to their bodies.”

“We know that there have been quite a few deaths of cattle this year in Missouri due to the ergot fungus that may have lead to these animals deaths. We’re just not able to determine what the cause of death is at this point,” Hills says.

-- end newspaper article.

So now where do we start?

How about we first acknowledge that the title of the news story is misleading. No where in the article does it say that the police are not ruling out the possibility of UFOs or Aliens from outer space.

Deputy Hill only acknowledged what others are saying.

As for who did this? Well, let's get rid of the absurd first.

First we have to ask ourselves, does anyone really think that little green men from outer space traveled a billion light years to visit a few cows in Missouri - and only at Lyn Mitchell's place - twice?

Imagine this for a moment?

Imagine that there is a species, Aliens, from outer space far beyond our own solar system, who of course have superior technology to sustain life for the 700 million to a billion light years trip to earth, yet need to come to Missouri for their beef.

They have figured out a fuel system that is inexhaustible. They have figured out how to make a craft that can withstand the riggers of travel for that long of an extending period.

They have figured out how to manufacture steel and metals, and make nuts, bolts, washers, insulation, computers, metal sheeting, propellant, wiring, crafts, cables, and so on, all that it takes to build a spacecraft.

They have done all of this, and, since most of these spacecrafts have FAA compliant lights, the Aliens have also figured out a way to create light bulbs that do not burn out - and can be used when they need it after their 700 million light years trip. 

Supposedly, Aliens have done all of this - yet they don't have the technology to create a cow of their own.

Forget that it takes thousands of parts contractors to build our Space Shuttle. Forget that it takes thousands of workers - everyone from engineers and assembly crews, truck drivers and management, as well as janitors and security guards - to build one of our Space Shuttles.

And yes, we have all of our fingers!

Where do Spacemen get their materials to build such a craft to get to Missouri?

Are there steel mills and iron shops where they come from? Do they drill for oil and fabricate the parts of their craft which are made out of petroleum - such as their computers and the parts it takes to make a computer?

Almost all of the components used to assemble and manufacture a computer is made from oil and petroleum by products. In our society, over 6,000 commonly used products that we use every day are made from oil.

And where do they get their computers from? Do they get their computers from IBM, Apple, Texas Instrument, or maybe pirated copy-cats in China? I don't think so.

Take all of this into consideration.

Now, throw in the fact that these little green men have figured out how to remain off of our radar and evade detection from multiple resources in multiple nations all over the world - yet they show up every once in a while to pluck some drunk from his pickup truck on a Friday night, and "probe" him?

I realize that they can't make too many appearances, so maybe that's why they chose Mitchell's cows on their return trip.

Good breeding stock, good cattle management, excellent feed quality, means quality beef.

Is that the reason that Space Aliens choose only Lyn Mitchell's cows? Does she have such superior beef that those little green guys had to have one or two cows for a late night snack?

And by the way, why is it that they always do these things in the dead of the night?

Whether it's grabbing some drunk from his truck to probe him or to mutilating cows, these things always seem to take place in the middle of the night. Why is that?

And how about who makes their lights? You know, tho ones that are always shining down on folks on deserted roads in the middle of the night.

Do they have manufacturers like GE to make their bulbs?

And really,if they are so advanced, why would they need lights?

If it is to be assumed that they are such superior intelligence and subsequently have all of this far superior technology - yes, even I get tired of the word "superior" when their followers refer to them as such - then why don't they have better technology than that which is used by our average soldier in Afghanistan?

Yes, our average soldier in the field has Night Vision that does not need lights to see, so why do all of the reports from "witnesses" say that they were hovered over by bright lights from a UFO when they were "probed"?

Take these facts, and the fact that these spacemen evade contact because they don't want to be disturbed when they have a yearning for Mitchell's beef tongue - and friends, the story don't wash!
I'm sorry folks, but I simply don't believe in little green men from outer space!

I don't believe it because the logistics to get all of the components and materials of such a craft fabricated, then have the spacecraft built, fueled, with a crew and sustain them for such a trip takes a civilization with industry and manufacturing capabilities to make it happen.

And no, spacecrafts, whether it's our Space Shuttle, the Lab. or some flying saucer, can just appear out of thin air. It has to be built and maintained.

It would be impossible to assume that there are Space Aliens who have that sort of technology, yet have come all the way here to this tiny planet just to dissect a few cows.

If they are that advanced, they certainly wouldn't need to dissect a cow - like I said before, if they are that advanced, they can create their own cows and leave Lyn Mitchell's cows alone.

So really? Aliens from outer space? No!

Now let's get serious, I'll be real frank and say that I can attribute these mutilations to a cult of crazies, a sick individual, or even a few youngsters wanting to spook the locals.

fact is, it wasn't that many years ago that there was someone, and the law suspects maybe more than just one individual was involved, in the San Francisco Bay Area who showed up at ranches late at night to mutilate horses in the Livermore area.

Those individuals would go to ranches where horses were being kept in pens or pastures close to the road. The assailants would park, get out and then lure the horse with treats to them.

Once there, one of two of the assailants would use knives to slash and puncture the horses in the neck. Some of the wounds were said to be done with surgical precession, so some believe that these criminals were using surgical instruments in their morally corrupt acts.

These were not Space Aliens who were doing that. They were people. Sick, depraved, demented, wicked criminal type people, who should have been found and dealt with.

As for a UFO cutting up Mitchell's cows in Missouri?

Well, if you believe that UFOs are really responsible for what took place, I have a picture of Big Foot on Mars for you.

Here you go! Yes, some crazy Alien believing nutcase out there really thinks that the picture below is proof that Big Foot is on Mars!

Probably the same folks who believe that Obama was born and raised in Hawaii.

Imagine that!



Have a good day!
