THE CRUZ REBELLION: Lessons From A Defiant Ted, RINOs Take Note

By Clash Daily / 27 September 2013 / 15 Comments

MICHAEL WALSH- In the aftermath of Senator Ted Cruz’s epic performance on the Senate floor, a few observations:

After his disgraceful attacks on Cruz, including his reach-across-the-aisle, dog-in-the-manger response today, this should be the end of Senator John McCain as a voice of influence in the Republican party. Ditto his mini-me, Senator Lindsey Graham. Indeed, the entire Old Guard of business-as-usual “comity” fans passeth. When you care more about what the other side thinks, it’s probably time either to switch teams or step down.

There is new leadership in the GOP, whether the party wants to admit it or not: Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Jeff Sessions, and the others who stepped into the breach to spell the senator from Texas.

The popular reaction to Cruz will be immediate and noticeable; the more the old bulls carp, the more the public will rally to Cruz’s side. The country has been spoiling for a real fight since the election of 2008, and now it has one.

Conservatives have finally realized that, as it’s currently constituted, they have no home in the Republican party, which is the Washington Generals to the Democrats’ Harlem Globetrotters, the designated losers who nevertheless are rewarded handsomely for their sham opposition.

To that end, conservatives understand that rather than form a third party, their only hope is to seize control of the corrupt, rotting hulk of the GOP, which they now can do with the help of a reinvigorated Tea Party — especially with Lois Lerner’s IRS off its back.

The Cruz faction in the Senate, and its allies in the House (whose leadership is now up for grabs) must now press their advantage. The louder the Democrats squawk, the more they are wounded; the one thing they’ve long feared is a direct assault on their core beliefs as translated into actions, and the deleterious effects of Obamacare, just now being felt by the population, are the most vivid proof of the failure of Progressivism that conservatives could wish for.

Win or lose, the battle is now joined: First the struggle for the GOP and then the battle for control of Congress and the presidency. Cruz just struck at the kings he could reach — the Republican “leadership” — and has most likely dealt them a fatal blow. Now the Tea Party hordes must back him up by eliminating his opponents (who tend to be geriatrics, and thus “leaders” by longevity rather than talent or commitment) through the primary process wherever possible. If he can carry off this coup, he and Senator Paul will very quickly find themselves elevated from back-benchers to commanders.

OBAMACARE: THE SENATE VOTE THAT WILL DEFINE WHO IS A REPUBLICAN HARRY REID NEEDS 6 REPUBLICANS TO VOTE WITH HIM TO FUND OBAMACARE!

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 10:00 PM PDT

The vote for “cloture” to limit debate, if it passes, will give Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid the power to fund Obamacare. It is an easy vote to understand. Harry Reid will vote “for” cloture and any Republican that joins him is voting with the progressive socialist democrats to fund Obamacare.

If not now, when? The time for talking an campaigning is over. This is a showdown vote.

All 46 Republicans in the Senate ran on the issue of defunding or limiting the damage of Obamacare. It was all talk with “zero” consequences. Tomorrow's vote is the real deal. Anyone who votes for “cloture” will be voting with Harry Reid and the progressive socialist democrats who are destroying America from within.

Squishy RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) like John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, Saxby Chambliss, Johnny Isakson, Dan Coats, Roy Blunt, Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, Orin Hatch are all thought to be voting with Harry Reid and the progressive socialist democrats to fund Obamacare and make it harder for this Obamanation to be brought under control.

Some Republicans believe that Obamacare should be funded and allowed to collapse under its own weight – after hurting millions of Americans and losing thousands of jobs. Others want to simply vote “present” so that they have no record for which they can be held accountable. An old Obama trick used in the Illinois Senate to avoid having to take a stance on difficult subjects.

Bottom line …

This is one of those defining moments. If the Northeastern Liberal Elites in the Republican Party are satisfied with stealing their portion of the pork, and are unwilling to protect the Americans that count on these representatives to protect them from stunningly bad legislation, they should be thrown out of office at the earliest possible time. They should be publicly shamed and humiliated for violating their oath of office and funding a grossly unconstitutional act.

CAN CLOUD PRODUCTS BE TRUSTED IN THE ENTERPRISE OR FOR ENTREPRENEURIAL PROJECTS?

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 07:17 PM PDT

It appears that the latest version of Google's Chrome released on the development channel can easily and seamlessly exist on top of an existing operating system to bring the Chrome experience to enterprise and entrepreneurial users at minimal implementation cost.

But given the recent NSA revelations of government access and spying using the facilities of major hardware and software vendors, I question the security aspect of running any additional software that stores data on unknown third-party servers and that is being made available under a unilateral terms of service/privacy contract that appears to provide little or no legal protection for the intellectual property of the user that might be disclosed by third-party monitoring of the communications stream or documents uploaded, downloaded or processed by a cloud-based vendor.

So, unless there are legal safeguards to protect and safeguard private, confidential, or proprietary information – along with substantial remedies for unauthorized access and disclosure, the idea of expanding my development activities to the cloud remain somewhat doubtful.

Yes, there are many benefits for both the enterprise and entrepreneurs when it comes to lowering the cost of entry and improving collaborative activities. But, at what price? With the current United States Patent System conferring preference on the first person to file, rather than the first person to reduce an invention to practice, anyone or any corporation monitoring the development of new ideas could, at this point in time, theoretically, beat an inventor to a patent – and should that party have more legal talent and funding than the inventor – it would be no contest; and the invention is lost to the corrupt individual or corporation. Lest you believe that this is an impossibility, one might consider that both industrial espionage and state-sponsored industrial espionage has been increasing over the past few decades.

And, there is a vested interest in a government being able to monitor developments in key industrial, electronic, and software fields that have an impact on national security. With some of these systems, it is like the government has a two-way connection into your home, office, and life. Given that the United States government has allegedly tried to subvert strong encryption on Internet-related communications, one must take precautions against both rogue agents and rogue governments. It would not be the first time that a relatively low-paid government agent with the “keys to the kingdom” has violated their oath of office and fiduciary duties to provide information to foreign sovereign governments, government contractors, corporations, and individuals for personal and/or ideological self-benefits.

The alternative model is to reduce collaboration to a bare minimum of people, and to insure that the development effort is compartmentalized. While there is a corresponding loss of creativity and security, there may be an offsetting gain of protecting your intellectual property.

Bottom line …

Until the laws regarding the access, storage, dissemination, and usage of digital properties are upgraded, cloud-based operations appear to make individuals, corporations, and nations more vulnerable to evildoers and malicious political parties.

There is also the possibility that key software components ("apps") used to facilitate your projects or communications can be easily withdrawn from the marketplace by those who control their own "app stores." Many plug-ins will may be obsoleted, like those based on older APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) or those that are perceived to present unacceptable security issues like Adobe Flash and other similar plug-ins.

And, let us not forget the inherent security risk of using xml-based data structures where each data element is clearly tagged -- sometimes to the point where the known tag structure and repetition migh provide insights that can be use to compromise encrypted communications.

Just saying – before you accept that free offer of software or services in return for scanning your communications to serve targeted advertising or improve the “user experience,” beware of the risks involved and implement prudent methods to mitigate those risks.

BLACKS CALLING OUT THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS AND THEIR ATTACK ON THE NRA

Posted: 26 Sep 2013 07:15 PM PDT

This is probably one of the best videos that has been made that actually calls out the democrats for their evilness … especially pointing out that the NRA was founded to help blacks obtain weapons to fight the democrat-inspired, democrat-led KKK …

Bottom line …

THE STRANGER...

THE STRANGER

When I was in about the 5th grade, my Dad
met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was
fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our
family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.

As
I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family. In my young mind, he had a
special niche. My parents were complementary instructors: Mom taught me good
from evil, and Dad taught me to obey. But the stranger... he was our
storyteller. He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures,
mysteries and comedies. If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or
science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and
even seemed able to predict the future! He took me to see my first major league
ball game. He made me laugh, and he made me cry. The stranger never stopped
talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.

Sometimes, Mom would get up quietly
while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say,
and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet. (I wonder now if she ever
prayed for the stranger to leave.)

Dad ruled our household with certain
moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honor them.
Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends
or any visitors. Our long time visitor, however, got away with four-letter words
that burned my ears and made my Dad squirm and my mother blush.

My Dad
didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try
it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes
distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were
sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing..

I
now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by
the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was
seldom rebuked ... And NEVER asked to leave.

More than fifty years have
passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and
is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into
my parents’ den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner,
waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his
picture.

His name?....

We just call him 'TV.

He has a wife now....we call her
'Computer’.

Their first child is named "Cell Phone . "

Second
child "I Pod .”

And MOST RECENTLY BORN WAS a Grandchild:
“IPAD.”

The scary part is how fertile they are and the gestation period
for the next
intrusions are getting shorter and shorter!!! And smarter
,too!!!!!!

Man Arrested For "Laundry Rage" Attack On Retiree

Victim, 75, battered for using dryer that assailant claimed "was his"

SEPTEMBER 26--In a violent episode of laundry rage, a Florida man twice shoved a 75-year-old victim to the ground and stomped on him after the senior citizen had the temerity to try and put his clothes in a dryer that the attacker claimed was his, police allege.

The confrontation earlier this month at the Super Matt Laundry in Fort Myers resulted in last night’s arrest of Kenneth Wood, 55, for felony battery on a person 65 years or older. Wood, seen in the adjacent mug shot, is locked up in lieu of $150,500 bond.

According to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office report, the September 9 attack--which was captured by a surveillance camera--occurred as Alexandros Dimitrelos sought to place his clothes in a dryer. At that point, the 5’ 5” retiree, who was accompanied by his 73-year-old wife, was challenged by Wood.

Investigators allege that Wood, whose laundry was still in a washing machine, told Dimitrelos that a specific dryer “was his dryer.” The two men then argued, with Dimitrelos asking Wood whether he thought he owned the laundromat. And then the septuagenarian called the 6', 210-pound Wood an “idiot.”

Wood responded by shoving Dimitrelos to the ground. After the elderly victim got to his feet, Wood pushed him down a second time. With Dimitrelos on the laundry floor, Wood grabbed his cell phone and “threw it causing it to shatter into several pieces.” As Wood fled, Dimitrelos went into a neighboring bar to call 911.

With the aid of the surveillance video (seen above), a detective was able to identify Wood as the laundry assailant. He was arrested yesterday following a recorded interview at the sheriff’s office (Wood’s post-Miranda statements to investigators have been redacted from a report released by the sheriff’s office).

In addition to the battery count, Wood was also charged with felony criminal mischief for allegedly destroying Dimitrelos’s phone. Deputies noted that Dimitrelos “refused medical attention several times that it was offered.” (2 pages)
