Here's a few enjoying a drink and a bath after a hot day with what sounds like a storm coming:



Wind chimes and the sounds of wind in trees, late afternoon or early evening.


Media Benjamin is a Libertarian who hangs out with 2nd amendment march organizer Adam Kokesh, etc.

No, she didn't want to hear a word that he had to say, she was there to do a hit job. She failed, but then she got some more publicity.

Used to think she was cool, but she supports Rand Paul, Alex Jones, Truthers, etc. Here's the company she keeps, pretty conservative bunch of cranks:

Thanks for posting this, it's not likely to get much major media coverage.

Thanks, President Obama and Secretary of Defense Hagel:

Obama: 'No tolerance' for military sexual assault

By Michael O'Brien, Political Reporter, NBC News 5-7-2013

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he has “no tolerance” for sexual assault in the military, comments made in the wake of a new Pentagon report showing the instances of such crimes have spiked since 2010.

The president said he had spoken today with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to urge him to “exponentially step up” efforts to identify suspects in assaults, and aggressively prosecute those cases.

“The bottom line is: I have no tolerance for this,” Obama said at a press conference following his meeting with South Korean President Park Geun-hye
.

‘I expect consequences,” Obama added. “So I don’t just want more speeches or awareness programs or training, but ultimately folks look the other way. If we find out somebody’s engaging in this, they’ve got to be held accountable – prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged. Period.

+1. And will do so in every state the teaparty has majority.

A video was posted in which someone filmed Paul Ryan, a Koch brothers lackey all the way, meeting his followers and put it on youtube.

He began with the anchor baby argument, but at :55 in the video, he says their goal is to turn enough states red to get them to pass a repeal of the 14th Amendment. He framed it in terms of illegals because of welfare, but this much more dangerous than it first appears.

Those people ate it up, because that's how they get the lower in society to vote for what they want, division based on hatred. But consider the other clauses in the 14th upon which many of our rights depend.

In addition to the Reconstruction part of the Amendment's citizen protections with birthright, there are the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses. We know what their intentions on voting rights have been; their assaults on the poor and every kind of 'minority' civil rights. They wouldn' stop at ending birthright citizenship, or any form of gender rights, labor or environmental protections.

They want this country back to something far older, oppressive than most of us ever knew. Here is the video, the thread and my further comments. I hope that people will listen to this:

Paul Ryan Casually Drops This Slur And Shows The GOP's Effort To 'Reach Out' Is B.S.

Think two steps ahead, this is not just about bigotry. They know that will garner attention of those who believe they need to discriminate and those who are resisting that. While we must resist, think long-term.

It's always about money and power with all the works of the Koch brothers, their candiates and ALEC.

This is what is being planned in the private rooms and country clubs across this nation. They have the money and a plan. We must mobilize and keep going, not get demoralized by every passing thing that the media tells us. They are playing for keeps.

Thanks for the Umbrellagate Collection! Our Prez isn't afraid of the rain:



Woohoo! Issa should have thought twice before pointing fingers:



The Dunning–Kruger effect is full-blown now.



Yes, to the Repukes, their media pals and the heads on fire brigade:



Replying to add this to my Journal, keeping the facts there for the misinformed.
