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.

Fed rule halts red snapper fishing
jatfla
by jatfla  Today 2:14 PM   
 Oh well. How many jobs is this going to cut? I know....they'll hire the fishermen to be Federal officers patrolling the seas to catch those fish-violators. And can you imagine the price of one that makes it to the restaurant or supermarket? Will this help the fishing economy on the Left Coast? Wish the Feds would do something about the Chinese sucking oil from under our waters via Cuba.

Bullock: A blessing to meet, portray a real Christian
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 8:53 PM    2
 I'm not a movie-goer but I've heard good things about this one. Plus I'm glad that the actress actually spent time with the person she was going to portray. I'm sorry that most of us are not good *witnesses* for Christ but willing hearts want to learn, grow, and serve others in our own God-enabled ways. Apparently Leigh Anne Tupohy gave the Gospel and didn't necessarily need to use words. :~)

Troops, Families Mixed Over Obama's War Plan

by jatfla  12-2-2009   
 I think most of the military (and most Americans) share the thinking of Mr.Thomas. What is the man doing??...telling the enemy when the fight will be over? Just dumb and completely naive; but then, that's what we've come to expect from this CIC.

Matthews on West Point: CIC goes to "enemy camp" tonight...
jatfla
by jatfla  12-2-2009   
 Sadly I believe Chris Matthews is right. Obama is no friend to the military. Why would he even go there? This is the training center for the future military leaders of our National Defense. Those who go there are dedicated to the protection of our Country and the defeat of all enemies, both foreign and domestic. With his tepid response to the efforts in Afghanistan, his wimpish behavior towards Iran, the do-nothing approach to N. Korea, and the bankrupting of our economy...not to mention his habit of apologizing every where he goes ..... I sense that West Point isn't the only place that could be considered the "enemy camp".

Desiree not losing WH gig
jatfla
by jatfla  12-1-2009   
 I really don't care. Like most everything that comes out of this WH the entire episode was full of ineptness. I just hope no SS person gets thrown under the bus to placate the situation so that the WH appears to be concerned. It indeed appears to be one big party time going on there. As one person suggested.... there's very little thought to the repercussions that could have resulted if these weren't just silly socialites.

KSM to Genie: One, I want to exploit my status as mass-murdering terrorist; Two, I want to inflict even greater pain and suffering on the families of those thousands whom I’ve murdered; Three, I want to make my trial a magnet for my brother jihadists throughout the world." This will make OJ's trial look like a Student Council meeting.

Rasmussen: 71% angry at federal government
jatfla
by jatfla  12-1-2009   
 As well they should be. I think the under-30 percentage is a reflection that most younger people are busy thinking about other things rather than what is going on in Washington. And I hope the anger at the incumbents is correct. There is not a handful of them who has earned their salary and/or perks. It's time to pop their bubble.

10 Reasons Nuclear Iran is No Joke
jatfla
by jatfla  12-1-2009   
 One is enough. While the World is busily playing word-games, Iran (and it's allies) are bursting forward with their nuclear weapons growth and spreading their influence around the globe. They're not even pretending anymore...they're telling the wold, flat-out, that they are seeking domination! I'm convinced that if tiny Israel takes the Shot, the rest of the so-called free world will line itself up *behind* Israel. Surely, in whatever reality they possess in their minds, they know that Iran is the biggest threat to peace. And when Iran moves, it's going to be huge.

China's backing on Iran followed dire predictions
jatfla
by jatfla  11-26-2009   
 It means nothing...just more paper and ink. I heard John Bolton this morning say that Israel will not wait much longer; it can not afford to. If Iran goes nuclear (as it intends) then that will motivate other countries in the region to do the same. Plus Iran would willingly give their nukes to such as Hamas and Hezbollah or sail one up a European or US dock. He said what we all know: That El Baradai has provided cover for Iran for the last 12 yrs. and that we can be "Thankful" that he is gone from the IAEA in just a few days.

Saudi Columnist: Obama Will Be President of the 'United Collapse of America'
jatfla

 Well...there ya' go. While I would not agree that Abbas is an ally of the US I can understand why he would consider his efforts for the Palestinian cause null & void. FTA: "Its political collapse in its war on terror, together with its economic collapse, have made the entire world sink into a political and economic quagmire." There. That's how the rest of the world perceives us and perception is reality. Hello!? Can we 'change' this and is there any 'hope'? This Administration has brought about our complete collapse in a matter of months!!! Those who deny it are willfully blind or partners.

 Not surprised. She's interesting and has a story to tell. He had someone create a few things and gave it his 'ok'. Her childhood mirrored many of ours; his did not. Her principles and values reflect traditional American culture; his reflect an anti-American sentiment that was nourished by his associations with the hate-America influences.

The Wilding of Sarah Palin
jatfla
by jatfla  11-24-2009    15
 What an amazing article. FTA: "The Left has declared war on Palin because she threatens their existence. Democrats need women dependent and scared so that women, like blacks, will vote for liberals." "Just like a perpetrator, they dehumanize her by objectifying her body. They undress her with their eyes." " As the book, Against Our Will described, the brutality is also aimed at men. By forcing men to witness Palin's violation, the Left tries to emasculate conservative men by rendering them powerless." Robin Berkeley gives organization to the confusion in my mind over why the pure vulgarity flows from the mouths of those on the Left concerning Sarah Palin. As a former Liberal and feminist, she has seen what lurks in the heart of the Leftist movement over the last several decades. "Not a movement of hope and change, it is a cauldron of hate."

jatfla

 Absolutely amazing!!! And the foolish woman believes this bill offers the "last chance"!!?? None dare scratch it and start over knowing all that has been learned over these last months. I agree that America needs some serious Health Care reform. Tort Reform would be a good start. Cracking down on fraud; ie. follow the $$$ would be great too. But when people say idiotic things such as these (and are serious!) we really are in deep doo-doo. These, who are the media influence-peddlers who have access to our citizens every day! Throw in the towel, they say. As though there is no hope for a much better bill. Where are the Leaders??
