National Review: Ana Navarro to U.S. Representative Steve King: ‘Get Therapy’

“Republican strategist Ana Navarro had harsh words for controversial Iowa congressman Steve King on Sunday, telling the GOP lawmaker to “get some therapy for his melon fixation.”

King made headlines last month when he said of the children known as DREAMers — kids brought to the United States illegally — that “for every one who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that — they weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”

Navarro continued her assault, arguing that King is “a mediocre congressman with no legislative record” and “the only time he makes national press is when he comes out and says something offensive about the undocumented or Hispanics.”

King returned the hostility, telling NBC’s David Gregory that his remarks applied only to drug smugglers, not to Hispanics at large. “If Ana understands the language, she should know that.” Navarro, who is Hispanic and served as the national Hispanic co-chair of the McCain campaign in 2008 and of Jon Huntsman’s campaign in 2012, retorted, “I’m not undocumented. I vote, congressman.”

From the National Review

The more Representative Steve King talks about immigration, the worst off Tea Party Nationalist Republicans and people with mental issues look in America. And perhaps people who smoke too much pot or drink too much and are struggling to keep a strong base with reality.

By trying to make Latino immigrants look like invaders or something that are Un-American and do not deserve to be in America and, the Steve King’s of the world look like very hateful, escaped mental patients. And as a result the better the chances for immigration reform in America because of how loony these Tea Party Nats look.

The more Republicans who are interested in immigration reform listen to people about it who are not on the Far-Right in the modern Republican Party or the rest of the country, the better the chances of immigration reform in America.

What you see in this video with Ana Navarro who is a Republican political strategist, who works for Republicans, (naturally) and Representative Steve King, who if he wasn’t in the U.S. House, would probably be a mental patient somewhere, what you see is Ana Navarro in touch with immigration and what needs to be done. With Representative King doing nothing, but repeating Far-Right talking points.

House Republicans: Weekly Republican Address 8/17/13- U.S. Representative Shelley Moore Capito

"In this week's address, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) urges the President and Senate Democrats to support the bipartisan, House-passed delay of the individual mandate in the president's health care law. You and your family deserve the same relief the President recently gave to big businesses by delaying their employer mandate - it's only fair."

From House GOP

House Republicans, clearly know what they are against when it comes to healthcare reform. But haven’t figured out what they are for. Which will be a big problem for them as they consider shutting down government over defunding the Affordable Care Act. Or run against it next year when they are questioned about what they would do instead. Where’s the so-called party of ideas when it comes to health care reform?

Or maybe the House GOP loves the old health care system with how expensive it was more than the current system. And are just saying: “ObamaCare is bad and let's just go back to the old system. Where people can lose their health insurance simply because they need it.” But people don’t sign up for health insurance, simply in order to pay insurance companies. That they actually expected to be able to take out what they paid into once they actually needed it. Which is what insurance is about: putting money down, so you can have it and use it when you actually need it. Regardless for whatever it is that you are insuring.

Hoover Institution: George P. Schultz: 'Drugs, The War With No Winner'

"Former Nixon and Reagan cabinet member George Shultz offers compelling analyses on the topics of governance, the economy, energy, drugs, diplomacy, and nuclear security. In this how-to guide, Shultz charts a path to a better future for the United States and the rest of the world.

In Part 6 of an 8 part series, George Shultz points out that forty years of the failed war on drugs should be enough to stimulate debate on alternate approaches to this serious problem.

For more information visit:Hoover Institution." 


It’s good to hear a Republican and a Conservative, who worked for both President Richard Nixon, when the War on Drugs was declared and President Ronald Reagan, when the Drug War was escalated in the 1980s, like George Schultz, talk about the failures of the so-called War On Drugs. 

Listen to what Secretary Schultz says here. “We have forty years of experience and we know that the War on Drugs doesn’t work. That it’s a failure, that we have more people who use illegal narcotics than other developed countries and have higher rates of illegal drugs use than our competitors.” 

Now, George Schultz, was Secretary of Treasury for President Nixon and then Secretary of State for President Reagan. And even though he might be the best Secretary of State the United States has ever had, he’s not directly responsible for the War On Drugs.

But Schultz, was a very trusted member of both President Nixon’s and President Reagan’s cabinet and knew about the War on Drugs and saw reports about them. And is someone who is very interested in current affairs, especially as they relate to America. And has thought and researched a lot about issues other than economic and foreign policy. He knows about our high incarceration rate and how many of those people in prison are there for something relating t the War On Drugs. And that a lot of those people are there for simple usage, or possession. He knows what our narcotics issue was pre-War on Drugs and where we are forty years later.

So to hear someone with the depth of knowledge, intelligence, and experience as a George Schultz, who was a cabinet officer in both Richard Nixon’s and Ronald Reagan’s administration’s, who also happens to be a Conservative Republican, say the War On Drugs has failed and he was part of two administration’s where the War on Drugs was pushed real hard, is very refreshing. 

It is also very refreshing to hear someone of the background of a George Schultz, say we can do better. There are better ways and policies in how we deal with narcotics in America. That we shouldn’t be promoting narcotics usage, but at the same time we shouldn’t be holding people criminally responsible and sending them to prison as convicted felons, simply for using narcotics.

“Unknown babe in top to toe biker leather”

From Cuiro Phile 

I have no idea what show this is and it does look like a show and not a movie. But base on the accents I have to say this is German TV. 

Which is a shame and not that it is perhaps German TV, but that it is unknown and that the actress, the biker chick on this show and in this video is unknown. Because she plays a great looking biker chick head to toe in biker leathers.

The black leather jacket, the black leather jeans all laced up. A very sexy biker chick leathered up in biker leathers with the jacket, jeans and boots. Would’ve been nice to see her on her bike and riding the bike. As well as getting off her bike in her leathers. 

But still a very sexy leather biker babe. And just one example why I lover biker women, because they wear and love leather jeans and biker women tend to be very healthy and sexy. And look great in leather jeans and boots.

Jewish News One: ‘Hollywood Star Karen Black Dies at The Age of 74: Iconic Actress Starred in Easy Rider & Nashville’

“Karen Black, a prolific actress who starred in such counterculture favourites as Easy Rider and Nashville, has died.” 

From Jewish One News

I wish Karen Black had another ten-years. But when you have cancer, unless it is found quickly and dealt with properly and the patient has the resources to deal with it correctly, it’s almost a death sentence.

I wish Karen Black had at another ten years, because she was one of the best actress’s of her generation and era. Which was the 1960s and seventies and took big chances and made them payoff big time. Like with Easy Rider, Airport 1975, one of my favorite movies and I believe her best movie and role. And Nashville, which came out a year earlier than Airport 75.

Karen Black took risks on movies that not a lot of other actress’s would have when she didn’t have to do it and where the movies could’ve bombed on her and made it difficult for her to get big roles and big movies later on. And she would not only take the big risks, but they would pay off for her big time. And would be movies that would be remembered very well thirty or forty years later. And would do such a great job in these movies. Like in Airport 75, where she plays a head stewardess who has to take control of the plane during a mid-air collision with all three pilots no longer being able to fly the plane. And she ends flying the plane herself with the help of the runway tower and the pilot on the plane still being able to speak.

Karen Black played these risky roles very well and will be missed. And then throw in how adorable and beautiful she was. And versatile she way with the ability to play tough characters. Like going from prostitutes with drug issues, in both Easy Rider and then later Nashville in the mid 1970s. To going to have to play a head stewardess in Airport 75 that at one point is actually flying the plane. And that is after she has to get ahold of the runway tower to let them know what is going on. Someone whose never flied a plane before and has no experience at all in doing that. Having to fly this plane over in the Mountain West and climbing mountains. And playing the terrified, little adorable woman, who doesn’t know if she’s going to survive this experience. And yet has to pull it all together for the sake of herself and the people on the plane that she’s responsible for. And she did these role beautifully.

Real Time With Bill Maher: ‘Ronald Reagan On Important Issues’

“Ronald Reagan spoke against socialized medicine, seatbelts, color TV and more…

From Cheetah Two 

The first comment about Ronald Reagan, was from a speech that he gave in support of Senator Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign. Everything there is probably pretty accurate as far as what Reagan thought not just about government health care and health insurance, but what he thought about socialism in general. In the mid 1960s, there was a real fear amongst Conservatives in America, because of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society agenda, that America was moving to becoming a socialist state. That actually never happened and it’s not happening today. The rest of the comments that Reagan supposedly have about seat belts and color TV, I think that’s just Funny Time With Bill Maher.

Newsmax: Steve Salzberg Show: U.S. Representative Paul Broun

Source:Newsmax- U.S. Representative Paul Broun (Republican, Gerogia) on The Steve Salzberg Show.

Source:The FreeState

"Congressman Paul Broun, M.D. (GA-10), joined Steve to discuss House Resolution 326, which states that any immigration reform adopted by Congress should not offer amnesty or any legal status condoning the unlawful entry into the United States, saying "no amnesty for anybody. We have to be a nation ruled by law, not by man." 

From Newsmax

I endorse as a Maryland Liberal Democrat, U.S. Representative Paul Broun to win the Georgia Tea Party nomination for U.S. Senate. Because he would put that race in play for Democrats against former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn’s daughter Michelle Nunn. 

Georgia is still a very red Bible Belt state at least outside of the Atlanta metroplex. But they have been moving left as more Americans outside of Georgia have moved into Georgia. And Representative Broun is probably as far to the right as any member of Congress. (House or Senate) And would be running against Sam Nunn’s daughter Michelle Nunn, a very Centrist-Democrat who knows Georgia very well. 

This race would still favor Senate Republicans, but with Paul Broun Democrats would have a competitive shot at it.
