  1. Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time. Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me", she said and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the guys. I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her. I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club. She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 80 years old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Mom, where are your glasses?! This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club." "Oh man, I'm in trouble again,” I said, “I really don't know what to do. I signed up for five jumps a week!!" The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted. Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.
  2. Miss Beatrice, The church organist, Was in her eighties And had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. One afternoon the pastor came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea... As he sat facing her old Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water floated of all things, a condom! When she returned With tea and scones, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity About the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him and he could no longer resist. 'Miss Beatrice', he said, 'I wonder if you would tell me about this? Pointing to the bowl. 'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wet and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.
  3. 1. Lynch was appointed as U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn, NY from 1999 to 2001. Who appointed her? Then President Bill Clinton. ********* 2. Lynch resigned in 2001 to join the law firm Hogan & Hartson. This is the same law firm that represented the company MXLogic. MXLogic was the company Hillary first used to set up her private email server and account. Executives from this law firm have also donated to the Clintons. 3. From 2003 to 2005 Lynch served as a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of NY. The Federal Reserve Bank is actually a privately owned corporation, compromised of numerous banks. Several of these banks and or their executives have donated to the Clintons political campaigns and to the Clinton Foundation. 4. In 2010, President Obama re-appointed Lynch as U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn. In 2015, Obama then appointed her as head U.S. Attorney for the nation. 5. A few days ago, as we all know, Lynch met with Bill Clinton, privately, on her private government jet. This meeting was a few days before the FBI interviewed Hillary and a few days before today’s announcement. 6. After this meeting, Lynch said something that no U.S. Attorney has ever said. She first apologized and said she should not have met him (obviously an apology based on her being caught, not apologizing for the actual action). She then states something U.S. Attorneys do not state. She stated her office will be guided by whatever recommendation the FBI gives them. Why was this statement ridiculous? She is the head of the U.S. Justice Department. The FBI is a sub unit of DOJ. She is the top boss, not Comey and not the FBI. Her office decides to prosecute or not, NOT the FBI. 7. In 1996 Comey was appointed as a Senate Committee Investigator/ Counsel to investigate the Clintons in Whitewater. His findings concluded no wrongdoing with the Clintons. 8. Comey and Lynch met back in the early 2000's. Comey was appointed by Bush as the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan. 9. In 2002, Bush appointed Comey as Deputy U.S. Attorney and he was tasked with investigating Bill Clinton’s mass pardons as he left office. Comey concluded that Clinton had done nothing wrong. 10. Comey went into private practice and in 2005. 11. In 2014, Obama appointed Comey as FBI Director. Lynch is Comey’s boss, as she is the head of the parent agency, DOJ. Lynch is the chief law enforcement officer of our nation. Comey holds the number two position in the sub agency, the FBI. At the end of the day, how do we have Lynch, previously appointed by Bill Clinton, and formerly an employee of the law firm that is connected to Hillary’s email scandal, in charge of the investigation into Hillary’s email scandal, with the lead investigative agency led by a man who twice investigated the Clintons and both times found them not guilty of wrong doing, also appointed by the current U.S. President, who appointed Lynch, who is Comey’s boss??? And Comey and Lynch have known each other for decades as well. How was this investigation to have ever been legitimate? - Mike Greene
  4. We are having so much rain in this greater area this year that dozens of Highways and roads washed away and are closed, several folks have drowned in their cars. Check counties, Ashland, Iron, Sawyer, Douglas, Bayfield, Washburn and a few others.
  5. Microwave ovens, hand held calculators, curved screen TVs, Atv's/Utv's.
  6. Until recently, corrupt politicians at least made an “honest” effort to conceal their wrongdoing. When former U.S. Rep. Rod Blagojevich (D-Ill.) tried to sell Barack Obama’s then-vacant U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, at least he didn’t do so by taking out an ad in the Chicago Tribune. When former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) obtained a large sum of money through bribes, he at least hid the cash in his refrigerator. However, that was then, and now is now. Over the last week and a half, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch have shown the American people that the four of them believe they can do whatever they want, in broad daylight, for the world to see, and even the FBI isn’t going to do anything to stop it. On Thursday, last week, with the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified materials nearly complete, Bill Clinton met with Lynch on her airplane in Phoenix. We’re told they talked about “grandchildren,” but the next day, Lynch said she would accept the FBI’s recommendations as to whether to file criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified materials on her private email server. The day after that, Hillary Clinton met with FBI investigators in Washington. Two days later, the New York Times reported that Clinton, if elected president, “may decide to retain Ms. Lynch” as attorney general. And two days after that, FBI Director James Comey said that even though Hillary Clinton had committed acts that are prohibited under federal law, for which she could be prosecuted, the FBI recommended that Lynch not prosecute Clinton. Earlier that same day, President Obama flew Clinton to North Carolina on Air Force One, at the taxpayers’ expense, for one of her presidential campaign events. And the very next day, Lynch said she would not indict Clinton. Case closed.
  7. In Their Own Words: Lenin, Stalin, Obama, and Hillary By Andrew Thomas It is beneficial to remind ourselves periodically of the realities in the struggle between Constitutionalism / Capitalism and Marxism-Leninism. It is a continual struggle, whether we acknowledge it or not. And the enemy of America as a constitutional republic with a capitalistic economic system is Marxism-Leninism, whether it be characterized as communism, socialism, progressivism, leftism, statism, or liberalism (in its current state). Historically, we can consider the birth of the fusion between Marxism and Leninism to be in 1917, when Vladimir Lenin first took power as the leader of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, later to be known as the USSR. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Revolution that gave the world its first taste of socialism, established as Communism. He transformed the political philosophy of Marxism into his own brand, Marxism-Leninism. Here are a few of his famous quotations: "The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation." "One man with a gun can control 100 without one." "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." "The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament." "The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency." "The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses." "Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism." "Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever." "There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel." "Democracy is indispensable to socialism." "It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed." Joseph Stalin took over leadership of the new USSR after Lenin's death. He was ruthless in crushing dissent, killing thousands of counter-revolutionaries and political opponents through military actions and political purges. His singular achievement was in killing seven million Ukrainians by starving them to death, a triumph of socialist collective power over political opposition known to history as the Holdomor. These are some of his better-known quotations: "It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic." "We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?" "Death solves all problems - no man, no problem." "Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed." "When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use." "If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves." "The only real power comes out of a long rifle." It is well-recognized that President Obama's political philosophy is heavily influenced by Marxism-Leninism, originating primarily through his childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. He has demonstrated through his policy implementation that he believes in a strong centralized government and increasing governmental control over the financial system, media, education, energy, healthcare, private property, where people live, their means of transportation, and how they behave. His beliefs are reflected in his words: "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times." "Generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties." "If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." "I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program." "I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution because I actually believe in redistribution..." "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun." "...We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us." In a similar vein, Hillary Clinton was immersed in a Marxist environment at an early age. Her senior thesis at Wellesley College was a positive analysis of the dirty political tactics of radical organizer Saul Alinsky, whom she referred to having a "compelling personality" and "exceptional charm." To illustrate her political leanings, the following are a sampling of her quotations: "We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." "It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity." "We can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people." "We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground." "I certainly think the free market has failed." "I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector in the entire economy, that they are being watched." "What I want to do is take those profits and apply them to alternative energy." "I really believe that it takes a village to raise a child." "I also believe that every new handgun sale or transfer should be registered in a national registry..." Isn't it amazing how little the goals and objectives of Marxism-Leninism have changed over the past 97 years, and how clear they continue to be for those who open their eyes.
  8. An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!”. The four men didn't wait for a second threat. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver’s seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed. The moral of the story? If you’re going to have a senior moment… make it memorable

  11. He didn't drive them but he rode with me in my 15 foot Nylox that I bought with a 115 HP Merc then installed a Chevy 350 V/8 with a V-Drive, it went 82 on radar, not bad for the late 60's and early 70's. Willy D. hung around with EJ Salentine who owned a Pontiac/Buick dealership in Tess Corners (Muskego) so I saw him fairly often on EJ's Pontoon boat on the Lake I lived on.
  12. I used to take Willy D. for rides in 1 of my boats when I lived in S.E. Wisconsin, he's my 4th. cousin.
  13. During his physical, the doctor asked the patient about his daily activity level. He described a typical day this way: “Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand and took four leaks behind big trees.” Inspired by the story, the doctor said, “You must be one hell of an outdoors man!” ”NAH,” he replied, “I'm just a shitty golfer.”
