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

POPS
Do not deny what happened at Ft. Hood
jatfla
by jatfla  Today 3:28 PM   
 FTA: "Getting at Islamist cells, to say nothing of lone, self-appointed jihadis within our society, means getting over the false sentimentality that turns a terrorist incident into an "incomprehensible tragedy" when it is not incomprehensible, and not a theatrical event." "We'd be better off confronting that Islamist enemy, than spraying perfume after each fatal strike." Long article but worth the read.

Obama snubs Ft. Hood to relax @ Camp David
jatfla
by jatfla  Today 2:25 PM    1
 No surprise really. Just more evidence that Obama cares not a twit for our military and is happy to enjoy the perks of being President in name only. Besides, it makes him uncomfortable to be around REAL men and women.

Poll: Huge majority doesn't want Dems' health care bill

 But do they care?? I have never seen such a push & shove match going on. This isn't about health care for our citizens. This is about power & control.

St. investigators taking dozens of computers from ACORN office...

by jatfla  Yesterday 8:01 PM   
 Oh my. It will be interesting to know what all they find. Course there has been plenty of time to get rid of some things. I guess the man with the cart didn't want any one in Washington to know who he is.

Jobless Rate Jumps to 10.2%
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 9:13 AM   
 How much of that Stimulus money has gone overseas to *create* US jobs over there? I guess Ms. Pelosi will say we need to extend the unemployment benefits even more and her health care bill will be needed now more than ever. The American people can not win with this crowd. This Administration is Carter on steroids.

The High Price of Nuclear Waste
jatfla
by jatfla  11-4-2009   
 The federal government agreed in 1982 to provide a permanent site to deposit nuclear waste...and now, just like that, it's off the table & closed. MORE incompetency. He just jerked the rug out from under the nuclear power program and the nation's utilities are in a real financial bind..

Gibbs: Obama 'not watching returns'

 He's probably playing basketball. He can say what he wants but it was obvious to the political hounds that he was stumping for his guys. Now it's time to distance himself. Hypocrites, ALL!!!!

 So glad to see Corzine go. He made his fortune on Wall Street and then received buddy Obama who sought/seeks to, hypocritically, undermine it. May the chickens come home to roost.

 Excellent punishment for a minor crime. Why clog up the jails or let them off with a fine? I wish this kind of thing would be done more often. It's practical, effective, and hopefully a teachable few hours.

Top 10 GOP Moderate Moments (via Rush)
jatfla
by jatfla  11-3-2009    2
 As I was in the car I switched him on and he was just beginning his countdown. Yes. Either the 'moderates' form their own party or the true conservatives must. I'm tired of voting for the lesser of the 2 evils and violating my true convictions. While these 'moderate' Republicans may be very nice people with good intentions...few actually shared my values. And he's right! The #1 'moderate' revealed so much about himself.

Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion
jatfla
by jatfla  11-2-2009    2
 I'm glad the woman is no longer associated with Planned Parenthood and now is seeking to help pregnant women in a different way, but I do wonder how she can "feel so clean"....unless she is speaking of the forgiveness she is acknowledging that comes from the Lord.

US Congratulates Karzai on Winning Second Term
jatfla

 Good grief! It's one thing to accept Karzai is still the *President* there even though the election was ruined by fraud...but to send 'congratulations' is a little over the top.

Scozzafava endorses Owens
jatfla
by jatfla  11-1-2009    1
 Well, well, well. And to think, the GOP Party thought she was worth endorsing. Thank you Mrs. Palin (and others) for exposing another Republican (conservative) in name only. I wonder if this is the new Democrat strategy....get their people to run as Republicans. And we're so asleep and/or complacent that conservatives just trust the R after their names. (sigh)

Seminoles outscore N.C. State 45-42
jatfla
by jatfla  10-31-2009   
 What a lame article. It was a fantastic game. Neck & neck the whole time. Ponder has been injured it seems like forever and he got pounded several times. He looked like a dead-man walking sometimes. With 5 seconds to go, no time outs, and NC State working for a Tie, their quarterback threw the long ball. In the end zone the ball bounced around, popping up and FSU gets the interception!!! While I rarely watch football anymore, the game was a nail-biter for this one who is wanting Bobby Bowden to finish well. As the commentators said several times during the game...he deserves to coach as long as he desire and retire on his terms. He put FSU on the map, helped contribute financially to the college, built a strong program, and has been a wonderful mentor to many young men. OK sports fans...signing off. :~)

American with AK-47 says he fights off attack in Kabul...

by jatfla  10-31-2009   
 Interesting article. I'm sure the media will at some point determine if this story is true since those who escaped have been evacuated. He is 62 and according to his father had fought with the Afghans against the Russians so he's been there quite some time.

 I think we already knew this and it's interesting that the AP is actually investigating & reporting it. The WH plans to "fix" these errors. I wonder how they'll go about doing that. Does this mean that the university in Michigan (I think) will lose it's money to study volcanos in S. America?

Dismantling America
jatfla
by jatfla  10-28-2009    1
 Great comments Dr. Sowell. FTA: "Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are." And he tells us that how much Obama succeeds in his dismantling of America will depend on how much resistance he meets. The resistance is mounting and it's time for a complete roll.

October new deadliest month for US in Afghanistan
jatfla
by jatfla  10-27-2009   
 Our enemies are not stupid....really. Step up the attacks just before the election involving a strong supporter of the military & one who isn't. Make the American people believe that it's not worth the fight. Now, with the "dithering" President ignoring his commanders in the field, with morale dropping over there, and a beautiful day for more golf...time to step up the attacks again.
