About me
My husband and I have been married for nearly 39 years. We have 3 adult (kinda') children and 5 awesome grandchildren.

My Christian faith and tennis are large in my life. For the last 16 yrs. I've been the caregiver of my MIL, my Dad, my Grandchildren, and now my Mother. It has been hard and the internet allows my mind to escape for a while.
Why I use Clipmarks
There is always something interesting to read. It provides a great way to communicate ideas and opinions and learn new things.

Energy-saving bulbs 'get dimmer'

 And I heard they cost more and the real issue is about how to safely dispose them. They give off significantly less light. They are moving us back to the 'dark' ages.

WH: No Afghan decision before Thanksgiving
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 11:02 AM    3
 Absolutely amazing. Why doesn't he just say what he really plans to do instead of dragging this out, waiting for a more opportune time? He's going to undermine our military troops there and send the morale of the rest completely down the drain. Agree with the Afghan war or not...being so "dithering" is inexcusable and makes the efforts of our soldiers there worthless. My Mom had ABC news on last night (it was an accident) and I heard the news caster talk about the poll numbers showing that support for the war against the Taleban in Afghanistan were dropping. Well, YES!!! Because many of us who do support the work being done there are no longer wanting our family members there without the support of this President!!! By failing to give them what they need, requested by their General, the pseudo-CIC is responsible for those who are being killed and maimed right now.

Palin's Interview on Hannity
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 8:36 AM   
 I was glad to watch this on-line. For the first time I got to hear her speak plainly and clearly what she actually believes about her life, the campaign, her political views, and what she thinks is important for America. Usually it's only been clips, questions requiring one sentence answers. This was a good interview. I came away liking her more.

Kiss Your Freedoms Goodbye If Health Care Passes
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I have always liked the Judge and trusted his analysis. I believe that he is right-on concerning this Health Care Bill...even with the changes (acquiescence) made in the Senate bill. This piece of legislation is so huge that I'm not sure any of us can get our brains around it. It's so obvious that Congress does not CARE about our rights or the Constitution as we know it. I do question his assertion that Republicans want to 'assault' our civil liberties; but I'm sure many will disagree.

Conrad on the Senate Health Care Bill

by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 Not sure what to think. I want to know how it will affect my Mother's Medicare Advantage. I'm glad to see it prohibits illegals and the paid abortion option. However, when he said Reid did a good job....well, that makes me nervous.

1000s cheer Palin in Mich. for book tour
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009    1
 I hope someone gives me her book for Christmas. I doubt that she has Presidential aspirations but I believe she is hoping to give encouragement and energy to the conservatives of America who have, honestly, lost all hope that America can rebound from the free-fall over the last several years. As much as I appreciated President Bush (and admired his wife) he was too nice those last several years and allowed the press to bash him mercilessly. Plus I did not agree with the illegal immigration issue. I wish he had pressed more for energy independence but I believe he was worn down and out by the faulty intelligence, the back-biting within his Cabinet, dealing with the causalities of the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq, etc. A person can only handle so much without physically and mentally drawing down. Palin is fresh, feisty, fearsome and committed to her conservative values. That's what people hear..PLUS all the attacks from the MSM which make them like her more!!

"Shangri-la" Cave Pictures: Art, Texts, Bones Revealed
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I'm not really into these kinds of cultures but it's sad that looters have already (many times) scooted away with so much. FTA: "The folio is part of a treasure trove of 15th-century Tibetan art and manuscripts that could be linked to the real-world inspiration for Shangri-La, a fictional paradise described by British writer James Hilton in his popular 1930s novel Lost Horizon."

Health 'Reform' Gets a Failing Grade
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 From someone who should know. I wonder if he was consulted. The article is a clear presentation of the pitfalls and consequences. This Health Care Bill MUST be defeated. Then they need to start over and this time include those who actually deal with patients and the insurance issues. As I heard someone say today, it's hard to phantom that America's government cares so little for the well-being of it's citizens.

Poll: Americans want KSM tried in military court
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I can't believe that it's not 10-for-10 for the death penalty if found guilty. And yes, most Americans believe these guy will get a fair trial. But how much is this going to cost the taxpayers by having it in a civilian court as opposed to a military one? Are there going to be TV cameras? Every Arab television in the world is going to be tuned in to this circus. And finally, why doesn't the majority opinion rule anymore? and I'm talking about incidences such as this. Obama & Holder had to have made this decision on their own.

Poll: Does the GOP want ideologically pure candidates
jatfla
by jatfla  11-18-2009   
 I use to think getting the "party" elected was the most important. Now that the GOP is synonymous with the moderate Dems, not anymore. Those in Congress, now, are all big buds who represent and serve themselves. I'm going with the ones who have records of supporting the things that I consider important....and even then you don't know what will happen to their ideology once they get elected.

Rep. Issa: Fake job numbers vital to stimulus propaganda

 FTA: "From $1.2 million in stimulus funds that saved 935 jobs at a Georgia community council with only 508 employees, to a $1,047 lawnmower in Arkansas purchased with stimulus funds that resulted in 50 jobs, to the $26,174 grant for roof repairs in Texas that created 450 jobs," Obscene.

Breast exam guidelines now call for less testing
jatfla
by jatfla  11-17-2009   
 So, now it begins. When once-upon-a-time our health care services were geared toward preventive medicine NOW we are moving towards more *rational* routines. I have had several *scares* and been grateful for the outcomes, but that has not been several of many of my friends. Just fancy talk to make us more complacent and willing droids to what is coming. If you get cancer, you're not worth the treatment...too expensive under this health care bill.

 And I bet Iran is so concerned about that. s/off If the regime was not so dangerous this would be laughable. Mohamed ElBaradei has been in Iran's back pocket forever and he, the IAEA, and the UN have allowed Iran to get this far. How long will it be before Iran follows through with it's threats to annihilate (or try to) Israel?

Israeli Vice Prime Minister warns against our policy of "engagement" with Iran
jatfla
by jatfla  11-14-2009    2
 FTA: "He called for the West to impose crippling economic sanctions on Iran, as well as isolating the nation diplomatically. But also noted quite emphatically: “Without defeating the Iranian regime " not the people, but the regime " there is no way to bring peace and stability to the region.'” Those who willfully and knowingly ignore the rapid progress that Iran is making with their nuclear program AND their arming of militant Islamic organizations surrounding Israel are seeking the destruction of the Israeli State. I believe Obama's "dithering" with Iran (as elsewhere) vastly contributes to the instability in the area and the lose of lives lie at the feet of the current Administration.

The Worst Decision by a US President in History...
jatfla
by jatfla  11-13-2009    1
 There are many voices and articles against this President's decision; this is just one. The trial will become a media circus broadcast around the world. Some may choose to call Al-Qaeda a "civilian" organization but I call it a militarized organization with absolute intentions of waging war against Americans and other countries...particularly in Europe.

Rubio to speak at CPAC
jatfla
by jatfla  11-12-2009   
 Several months ago I read that the *official* choice of the GOP was Crist and then I heard Rubio speak. Then I got angry. The establishment GOP had chosen another RINO as their candidate of choice. It was basically eliminating the voters' options with their endorsement. It's still an uphill climb but the wave is building. Rubio is a true conservative and I won't have to hold my nose to cast my vote for him.

 Moving on to the next ousting of a RINO. The GOP came out of the gate supporting Crist, but the man is just a Democrat with an R behind his name. Rubio will have my vote. On a recent survey sent out by the Republican Party I wrote "Rubio" all over it. They asked all the right questions and then give us crummy candidates.

Time to walk away from Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009   
 FTA: "We should stop feeling as though we have to apologize for our friendship with Israel, or pretend that the Palestinians and their Arab neighbors didn’t create their own misery through a series of wars against Israel which they lost. Let the Palestinians and the Israelis tend to their own interests, and we should tend to our own as well. When the Palestinians figure out that we are not interested in beating our heads against the wall by dealing with terrorists uninterested in actual negotiations, then perhaps they’ll produce effective leadership with more interest in coexistence rather than annihilation." I think I agree.
