Melissa Williams Ironman Inspiration

I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa Williams from Middleton, Wisconsin walking to my vehicle after the Memorial Herman Ironman Galveston Texas 70.3.

             Ironman Corporation re tweeted my photo

"

She crashed on her bike during the race, with a possible broken hip, cuts on her leg, hip, elbow on the right side, and cutting hand and fingers on the left. She gutted out the heat and humidity of Galveston and finished the Run strong in 2 hr and 10 min for a finishing time of 5:59.    


I am attaching picture of her post race, swollen hip, bandaged bloody leg, bandaged hand and elbow, but offering a HUGE SMILE.

To me she epitomizes the spirit of Ironman, when the chips are down, your body hurts beyond belief, sure its easier to quit and say "i crashed and couldn't finish", but the spirit of IRONMAN shined through and she persevered to the finish.

I am certain she left Galveston with a GREAT Sense of PRIDE.

General Blackmail

General Patraeus Blackmailed by President Obama, and White House Staff.....

Maybe it was General Patraeus himself who released the news of the affair, thus retiring to Citizenry, blowing lid on President Obama, Sec Of State Clinton, and CIA Director Leon Panetta, covering up the truth of Benghazi, along with a complicit media.  ie the cover up...

He receives his Retirement, can be called to testify as a citizen, and will Plead the 5th, or tell truth for reduced sentence, and completely blast the Administration.

I wouldn't be surprised if something happens along the way..... white water, clintons, Mena, AR, and Chicago style Mob Politics comes to mind.

This article ties all of this affair back to the election, the general(s), the Whitehouse, President Obama, and Hillary Clinton lies to the American People in a Concerted Planned "Ricoh" statue Lie, to divert the real reason Benghazi was attacked, and why President Obama did nothing to save the Lives of 2 Navy Seals and the Ambassador.

Summarize, General has affair, Whitehouse Knows, Whitehouse needs favorable Testimony to Congress in regards to events in Benghazi, General keeps job if he "plays ball" unless the affair comes out.

The exact reason CIA Officers, Key Players in American SPY Agencies are Forbidden from Extramarital affairs, so that they cannot be "black mailed" by foreign Governments, or in this case, the General is Black Mailed by the President of the United States, His Boss.

The Fiscal cliff will be dragged out, as cover for the truth of Benghazi, and the Media, and all Government officials are to blame for both.

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer on Tuesday said the White House used David Petraeus’s affair to get the CIA director to give testimony about the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that was in line with the administration’s position on the matter.

Appearing on Fox News's Special Report, Krauthammer said, "The sword was lowered on Election Day" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think the really shocking news today was that General Petraeus thought and hoped he could keep his job. He thought that it might and it would be kept secret, and that he could stay in his position. I think what that tells us is really important. It meant that he understood that the FBI obviously knew what was going on. He was hoping that those administration officials would not disclose what had happened, and therefore hoping that he would keep his job. And that meant that he understood that his job, his reputation, his legacy, his whole celebrated life was in the hands of the administration, and he expected they would protect him by keeping it quiet.

And that brings us to the ultimate issue, and that is his testimony on September 13. That’s the thing that connects the two scandals, and that’s the only thing that makes the sex scandal relevant. Otherwise it would be an exercise in sensationalism and voyeurism and nothing else. The reason it’s important is here’s a man who knows the administration holds his fate in its hands, and he gives testimony completely at variance with what the Secretary of Defense had said the day before, at variance with what he’d heard from his station chief in Tripoli, and with everything that we had heard. Was he influenced by the fact that he knew his fate was held by people within the administration at that time?

As a point of reference, ABCNews.com reported on September 14:

The attack that killed four Americans in the Libyan consulate began as a spontaneous protest against the film “The Innocence of Muslims,” but Islamic militants who may have links to Al Qaeda used the opportunity to launch an attack, CIA Director David Petreaus told the House Intelligence Committee today according to one lawmaker who attended a closed-door briefing.

This of course was the administration line for almost two weeks after the attacks.

With that in mind, Krauthammer drove his point home further a few minutes later:

KRAUTHAMMER: Of course it was being held over Petraeus’s head, and the sword was lowered on Election Day. You don’t have to be a cynic to see that as the ultimate in cynicism. As long as they needed him to give the administration line to quote Bill, everybody was silent. And as soon as the election’s over, as soon as he can be dispensed with, the sword drops and he’s destroyed. I mean, can you imagine what it’s like to be on that pressure and to think it didn’t distort or at least in some way unconsciously influence his testimony? That’s hard to believe.

If Krauthammer is correct, it's going to be very interesting to see if and how the Obama-loving media reports it.

Stay tuned.

Gen. John Allen also helped Jill Kelley's sister during custody battle

EXCLUSIVE

WASHINGTON -- Both Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. John Allen intervened in the same nasty child custody battle involving Natalie Khawam,

Natalie Khawam (twin sister of Jill Kelley)

 the “psychologically unstable” twin sister of Jill Kelley, whose bombshell claims of being threatened by Petraeus' lover led to the top spy’s resignation last week, the Post has learned.

Allen, the four-star general top commander in Afghanistan, was revealed last night to have exchanged thousands of pages of of emails with Kelley, who went to the feds after receiving threatening e-mails from Paula Broadwell, the married mistress of Petraeus.

TWIST IN PETRAEUS SEX SCANDAL: AFGHAN COMMANDER NOW PROBED FOR RELATIONSHIP WITH JILL KELLEY

PETRAEUS GETS 'PROMOTION' IN NEW 'CALL OF DUTY' GAME

A judge noted in the file that Khawam "has attached letters from Gen. David H. Petraeus averring to her ability to appropriately parent the child, and is prepared to present corroborating testimony at trial."

And in court documents filed by Kelley's sister Natalie Khawam,

Mrs Khawam  name-drops both Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island -- who both have ties to a Providence, RI, lawyer/lobbyist who loaned a whopping $300,000 to Khawam.

Khawam claimed in a July 12 letter to her estranged husband that she took their son "on vacation last year to Martha Vineyard," where their son and "I had a great time at the DSCC [Democratic Senate Campaign Committee] event."

"Sen. John Kerry asked if [her son] would be coming again this year," Khawam wrote. "[Their son] was a superstar at the DSCC last year."

A spokeswoman for Kerry – who the Washington Post reports is being considered as President Obama's next secretary of defense -- had no immediate comment.

Also filed in that court case by Khawam is a letter, on United States Senate stationary, from Whitehouse, who like Kerry is a Democrat.

That letter was written to Gerald "Gerry" Harrington, who has been a fundraiser for Kerry and other Democrats out of Rhode Island. Harrington, according to Khawam's federal bankruptcy filing earlier this year in Florida, gave her a personal loan of $300,000.

"Derry Gerry," Whitehouse wrote. "I am excited to hear that you and [Khawam's son] may be coming to the Family Clambake. That would be terrific! All the best wishes, Sheldon."

A related email from Khawam to her estranged husband -- from whom she was seeking permission to take their son to Whitehouse's clambake -- said that their son "knows Sen. Whitehouse and his family from spending time together with them last summer in Newport, R.I.

Generals Hospital (Gen. Patraeus scandal)

Gen. Patraeus and Mrs Broadwell

The Players:

Mrs Kelley far right

USMC Gen. Allen

Interesting Facts, Possible Reasons for Timing and Ultimately what it all means.

1.  FBI interviews of Mrs Broadwell and Gen.  Patraeus both admitted adultery and cooperated, freely gave access to computers.

2.  Broadwell computer had both "Non-classified" and "classified" files, Gen. Patraeus stated he gave her no classified files.

3.  Why was she emailing Mrs Kelley silly "catty" emails, when there was nothing to gain, since Mrs Kelley was friends with Mrs Patraeus?

4.  Mrs Broadwell has some connections to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and known International Arms Dealer, Jans Henrik Jebsen, and one of his company's Gamma Applied Visions Group..

5.  Gen. Patraeus was known to be somewhat "anti-Israel" and Eric Cantor is friends of "likud" party.

6.  Timing? almost as soon as the election was called, this story is released, IE When Republicans realized they had lost whitehouse.

7.  Mrs kelley was intentionally ensnared by Mrs Broadwell because she knew of her affair with Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan aligned with Gen. Patraeus and the Obama Line.

8.  Broadwell has MS Degree with Focus on Iran and Syria ???

9.  The FBI Agent Friend of Mrs Kelley, also sent Mrs Kelley hundreds of emails of his "Chest" bare naked chest with sexual overtures towards her.

Tying all this together, Obama allowed our Ambassador and staff to be sacrificed for destruction of the "Obama" torture prison at the compound and destruction of all evidence therein.  That is why no agency was allowed to respond to the SOS via Benghazi staff.

Hillary Clinton and Pres. Obama very well might have covertly arranged for the Libyans to attack the compound, knowing that the Gen. Patraeus, and Gen. Allen Scandel was bound to reveal the CIA Torture Prison, and that Sex Stories were going to break either before or after the election.

Thus, Pres. Obama and Sec of State Clinton have their own Abu Ghraib,  Watergate, and Clinton Sex scandal all rolled into One Big Cover up.

 Republicans lost election, Obama and Clinton knew of Benghazi, CIA Torture Prison, If Mrs Broadwell is Israel plant, she hacked Patraeus email and computer.   Israel wants war with Syria/Iran as do international arms dealers.  Eric Cantor wants Obama to go down via its not the action, its the "Cover Up", Obama knew Benghazi was attacked to retrieve Libyan Al Queada suspects held in the CIA prison.  Gen.'s Patraeus, and Allen were Anti War and against action by Israel and USA against Iran... Israel and Republicans want Obama Admin frozen in Scandal.  Obama goes down for the "Lies" to congress and American People about allowing the death of the Benghazi staff.

This story is going to be better than General Hospital, no Pun Intended.

2012 Post Election Numbers and Thoughts

A Math Guys Post Election Summary  2012

Its over, the other side WON, and I must Congratulate them for a hard fought victory.  Yes, as I was driving to swim practice, I saw the Sun Coming up Wed. Morning.

I  am kind of a numbers guy as well and living in Texas was very curious to see how the "polsters" came up with their numerology.  

Everyone is tossing around this "white Voters" percentage as being 72%, but I went to Census figures and looked at population as whole from the Census.  I think this 72% is inflated and the real number is closer to 64%.

Total Pop  308 Million USA as of 2010, per Census...

White          197 Million, or 64%

Hisp/Latin    50 Million   or 16 %

Black            39 Million  or  13 %

Asian            14 Million or   5%

Other             6 Million  or   2%

Interesting Note from Census numbers, Hispanic population from 2000 to 2010 increased by 50%, thats right 5-0 % their numbers are really growing, and White population growth for same period was 1.2%, not sustainable whites are dying faster than reproducing.

Cross Reference these numbers with % voting for Obama/Romney and some interesting trends come up.

 Obama received about 52.4 % of the Total Vote.

White voters  Obama (39%) of (64%)           or  Total % of Election   25%

Black Voters  Obama  (98%) of (13%)          or Total % of Election    12.7%

Lat/Hisp/Asia Obama ( 64%) of (23%)           or Total % of Election    14.7%  

 Doing math (14.7%/23%= 63.9%) says Obama got  64% of Hispanic/Other /Asian vote

Adds up to    25% + 12.7% + 14.7% = 52.4 % of Population voted Obama for President.

I have run the numbers and for Romney to win last Tuesday,  He would have needed 51% of Combined Hispanics, Asian and Other...Multi racial categories voters to win.  

He missed the mark, only receiving, 36% of other than white, black vote.

White (61%) of vote x (64%) of population  = ( 39%) 

of 51 % needed to Win Presidency.

at this point he only needs 12% points, 

Instead he comes up short.. with only 47.6%

Black      (2%) x  (13%) =  (00.3%)   

Hispanic (36% of Hispanic/Asian/Others) x (23%) = (08.3%)

Totals 47.6 % and he loses the election ....

Lets assume No Republican can achieve more than 2% of black voters, then the Republican party needs to find the common Experience to connect with Hispanic, Asian and Multi Racial voters to achieve 51% of their vote last Tues and beyond.

Republicans didn't do that, and going forward with Birth rates, and rates of growth from 2000 Census, to 2010 Census.... They must "connect" and "gain loyalty" of Hispanic/Asian Voters, and their children!!!

As greater numbers of White voters age, they become more liberal, forgiving, and dependent of Federal Government (Medicare, Health, Drugs, Etc).  Blacks have been very steady for many years at 12-13% of the population.

Hispanics, presently (20%) of voters, are growing quickly with higher birth rates and within the next 20 years Hispanics/Latin voters will grow even with White Voters.

If this happens and they stay with current (Voting Percentages).

 No Republican will ever be elected to National Office !!!!!!

States such as, Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas and most likely OK will be Democratic at the State Level, Gov., Sen. and House of Reps will reflect these population and voting trends.

Republicans, need to do some "soul searching" in espanol!!

There is a reason why you have to pick "1" for English, and "2" for Spanish when you call the bank, or pretty much anywhere.  In 10 years it might be "uno" for Espanol, and "dos" for English !!

Obama Takes Osama Credit Card Donation

The “Bin Laden” donations, actually made by WND staff, included a listed occupation of “deceased terror chief” and a stated employer of “al-Qaida.”   

WND EXCLUSIVE

OBAMA ACCEPTS 'OSAMA BIN LADEN' DONATIONS

No block to foreign money – not even from dead terrorists

via by AARON KLEINEmail   www.wnd.com

WASHINGTON – Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol, or IP address, a disposable credit card and a fake address, A DEAD Terrorist, “Osama bin Laden” has successfully donated twice to Barack Obama’s presidential re-election campaign.   

“Bin Laden” is currently set up on the official campaign website to contribute more to Obama’s campaign. The name is also registered as a volunteer.

Since the “foreign” contribution was sent, “Bin Laden’s” email address has received several solicitations from Obama’s campaign asking for more donations.

The apparently foreign-based contributions were conducted as a test after a flurry of media reports described the ability of foreigners to donate to the Obama campaign but not to Mitt Romney’s site, which has placed safeguards against such efforts.

The acceptance of foreign contributions is strictly illegal under U.S. campaign finance law.

One $15 donation was made at BarackObama.com using a confirmed Pakistani IP address. In other words, as far as the campaign website was concerned, the donation was openly identified electronically as coming from Pakistan.

Upon clicking the “donate” button, WND staff selected the $15 amount and were taken to a page on the campaign website asking for a first and last name, city, state, zip code, email address and phone number.

The information submitted was: “Osama bin Laden, 911 Jihad Way, Abbottabad, CA 91101.”

While the website only has options for U.S. states and zip codes, there is no mechanism in place on Obama’s website to verify the individual is actually located in that state or zip code, or even in the U.S.

The Obama campaign refuses to release the identification of donors who give less than $200

In the case of this donation, the 91101 zip code is real but corresponds to Pasadena, Calif., and not Abbottabad, the Pakistani city in which bin Laden was found holed up in a compound.

For a requested phone number, WND inputted the White House information line of (202) 456-2121.

The email address used to set up the donation account was osama4obama2012@gmail.com.

After clicking “next,” the website asked for an employer, occupation and a password to set up future donations. WND staff entered the occupation as “deceased terror chief” and the employer as “al-Qaida.”

The transaction was made last Friday with the use of a disposable credit card. The website did not require the card’s security code.
