Growing Disenchantment with Obama; Remains of Largest Bird Ever to Have Lived Found Near Charleston, South Carolina; Orioles Lead American League East by Four Games at All Star Break, Key Series at Oakland Looms

BALTIMORE, Maryland July 13, 2014 - The crisis on the Southern Border continued to percolate across the United States this week, with the President adopting a attitude now more and more his calling card. "How dare they?" he all but moaned to an audience hand-picked to adore his every word. He tells these kinds of audiences that he has been "forced" to attempt to act alone because the Congress won't act. And that darn Constitution isn't going to stand in his way either. Presidents in the past have been confronted with the same kinds of problems; it just didn't seem appropriate to them to lop off the Constitutions time-honored way of reigning in a President with ridiculous ideas from Noam Chomsky's handbook. Down on the border, tens of thousands of children pile in from all over Central and South America, hoping they can drop anchor and reel their parents in later, or at least that is the plan of the parents back home, who don't see the problem in sending youngsters off in the care of some Coyote.

Now, were I in their shoes, I concede that I might conjure up something equally as breath-taking. It used to be that those darn Americans had laws to keep things like this from happening.

Obama's outrage is also driven by increasingly vehement talk of impeachment. I don't favor impeachment, instead, I favor vigorous legislative resistance to far left lunacy, replaced by good old American Democrats and Republicans using good old American ideas to right the ship of state. Tell me that a cut in business taxes would not spark an economic boom coupled with increased employment. Tell me! It would work so fast it would make your head spin. Cut taxes to everyone, and within six months the federal treasury would be swimming in tax revenue. Even high school grads can figure that out. But the Wild Left of Obamaville just can't do that. Putting capital in the hands of people who generate jobs? Good gracious alive!

I had a dream one night that a big ship, with no engine, no sails, and only two small oars, left port bound for Beijing. On board were Dingy Harry, Obama, Obama's inner circle, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, and several similar types. There was no radio on board. Withing 48 hours, the world was brighter, happier, and more hopeful. It was only a dream

Angela Merkel kicked out our CIA person-in=charge in Germany. In public, booted him out. It was done the way it was done for one reason: she is very angry at Obama and wanted him and the rest of the world to know. Then, Germany won the World Cup. Germany is having a very good summer.

Amazing Discovery Right Here in These United States: Remains of Largest Flying Bird Ever to Have Lived Discovered near Charleston, South Carolina A construction crew thought they'd found something while digging prior to laying the foundation for a new building near Charleston, South Carolina. They were right. It was the skeletal remains; i.e., fossils of the largest flying bird ever to have lived on Earth. Pelagornis Sandersi is the largest species of an extinct line of seabirds which lived on Earth about 25 million years ago. Its wing span was 24 feet and it weighed up to 88 pounds. Scientists are almost certain the animal could fly, although it is doubtful it could get airborne from a standing position. Instead, like certain other birds today, it probably needed to run downhill or into a headwind to get airborne. But scientists also believe the animal, once up in the air, was a powerful aviator. It had a kind of tooth right in its beak, made out of beak material. The web site, "Live Science" has news about the creature, including an artist's rendition of what it might have looked like, at this web page: http://www.livescience.com/46679-largest-flying-bird-discovered.html

At the All Star Break, Orioles Lead American League East by 4 Games Don't look now, but at the All Star Break, the Orioles have a four game lead in the American League's Eastern Division. Only one other team - the Blue Jays - are above .500 in a division often thought as Baseball's toughest. The Yankees are right at .500 at 47-47, while the Red Sox and Rays are both nine games below the break even point. The Yankees have huge problems with their starting pitching - four key starters are injured - and the Blue Jays limped into the break having gone 2-8 in their last ten games. The Orioles haven't exactly been burning up the league either, and they have a key series on the West Coast at Oakland looking them in the eye starting Friday. Here are the Standings up-to-the-minute:
