MIDDLEBURY, Vermont August 16, 2015 - Mist begins to gather in the still quiet valleys as Dusk approaches. The mist soon gathers into low-hanging clouds. They are beautiful clouds, especially with the majestic Green Mountains as a backdrop. There is no moon over Vermont on this mid-summer night, and the mist will make the dark night even darker. The cars on Vermont's small and winding country roads are scurrying to get where they are going while the daylight still lingers. While the clouds are forming low, up high the sky is clear and when you come into a space where there is no low cloud, the billions of stars in His Firmament hold sway.
It is as if the Lord is pulling a soft wool blanket up over the shoulders of his sleeping and precious children. The soft clouds seem to cling to the majesty of the mountains. It is an awesome sight.
The Green Mountains are one of the most under-appreciated wonders of these United States. When viewed from the western part of Vermont, they rise up like a serene and awe-inspiring bulwark against the blue sky. The incredible sight compels staring. There is no piedmont here, just stark heights against a flat plain surrounding the also beautiful Lake Champlain. Crossing the Lake on the Fort Ticonderoga Ferry - the founding of which predates the Revolutionary War - one gets his first view of the mountains to the east. They are the big brothers to the Adirondack Mountains of New York, and if you drive north from Albany along the shores of Lake George on New York Route 9A, you will see all of the mountains you could hope to see.
North of central Vermont is the incredible Mount Mansfield, the tallest of the Green Mountains. The ski resorts at Stowe take advantage of the soaring mountain for the benefit of the tens of thousands of ski enthusiasts who come here each winter. Even in the summer the resort runs its gondola up the spine of the Mountain. It stops about halfway up at a Lodge, where a lunch, a drink, a sweatshirt or some other hiking gear can be had. Very near the lodge the Green Mountain Club, which maintains the legendary Long Trail, also maintains several side trails which scale the heights of Mount Mansfield and hook up with the Long Trail at the mountain's peak. The Long Trail snakes along the peaks of many of the most inspiring peaks before ending at the Canadian border. The trail begins at the border of Vermont and Massachusetts. If you make it from one end of the Long Trail to the other in one hike you can have your name included in the list of master hikers known as the 'End to Enders." The Green Mountain Club publishes maps, even waterproof maps, of the Long Trail and its side trails, and rates their difficulty so you might avoid trails that are too difficult for you. They also sell guides, books and other stuff associated with the Trail and Vermont. Your writer has been a member - off and on, admittedly - for many years. While the trails ascending Mount Mansfield are not for the faint of heart, much of the Long Trail is quite tame. Any part of the Trail is worth any time you allot for hiking it. It is a treasure for the ages.

Obama - Who Has Claimed to be Christian - Slams Closed the Door to Thousands of Yazidi Refugees Seeking Asylum; Former President Jimmy Carter Diagnosed With Cancer of the Liver
BALTIMORE, Maryland August 12, 2015 - President Obama used to claim he was a Christian. But he has consistently criticized Christians for everything imaginable, including, even, their conduct during the Crusades of over one thousand years ago. At the same time, he has lavished praise on anything and everything Muslim. These, of course, are his absolute rights under our First Amendment to the USA Constitution (and even the Constitution has come under his attack; he calls the Constitution a collection of "negative rights.")
Given the chance to walk back this intensifying narrative, he instead has made the genocidal conduct of the purely evil ISIS movement much more feasible by denying thousands of requests for asylum by Yazidi citizens of Iraq, Syria and other Middle Eastern nations. The Yazidi - an ancient group of monotheistic believers who live in scattered settlements throughout the nations feeling the evil grip of ISIS - were forced like cattle to take refuge on a mountaintop in Iraq late last summer, where up to 4,000 were killed, and hundreds of others kidnapped and pillaged by evil Islamic ISIS plunderers. Of those who survived, many succumbed to the elements of their mountain refuge. Only air drops by the USA and Iraqi Air Forces saved any of the Yazidis. They were finally sprung from their mountain prison by Coalition Soldiers.
As thousands of Yazidi asked for asylum from the USA, they learned, to their shocked horror, that Obama wanted nothing to do with them. “What we are seeing, in real time, is genocide,” said Frank Wolf, a former congressman from Virginia and senior fellow at 21st Century Wilberforce, a nonprofit that seeks to protect Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East. “To declare it genocide, that would expedite State Department declined to comment to Fox about their failure to grant visas to the Yazidi.
Former President Jimmy Carter Diagnosed with Liver Cancer; Disease Apparently Has Spread to Other Parts of Mr. Carter's Body
Former United States President Jimmy Carter has been diagnosed with cancer of the liver, and doctors have told the 90-year-ikd former Chief Executive that the disease has also spread to other parts of his body. According to the New York Times, Carter is being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. News of the former president's health was released to the Times and other media outlets by the Carter Center.

Burnley's Offensive Troubles Continue; 1-0 Loss to League One's Port Vale in Capital One Cup Prove Claret Still Lacking Scoring Punch
BALTIMORE, Maryland August 12, 2015 - After Sam Vokes' late score on opening day lifted visiting Burnley into a 1-1 draw with Leeds United, there was hope in Lancastershire that the Claret's season-plus scoring woes were showing signs of coming to a close. Then Burnley took on Port Vale - of League One - in the opening round of the Capital One Cup, and all of that optimism flew out an open window at historic Turf Moor. A post on the ESPN web site from a journalist at the match termed the Claret's offensive effort "disappointing." Burnley Coach Sam Dyche was asked by the BBC if the result surprised him. "I'm not so sure there are any shocks in this competition any more." the Claret mgr. said.
The match remained scoreless until the 82nd minute, when Sam Kelly, who had entered the match just two minutes earlier, fired a shot at Burnley reserve keeper Matt Gilks. Gilks made the save, but could not control the ball. It rolled onto the foot of a charging Byron Moore, who rifled a shot past Gilks and into the corner of the goal. To their credit, the Claret did charge back. In the add on minutes just priot to time, George Boyd unloaded a bristling shot that richocheted off the bar. In fact, it was Boyd who sparked what little offense Burnley could muster. As usual, it was Burnley's tenacious defense that kept the Claret in the match, and they did it this time without their dependable keeper, Neal Heaton, who sat out the affair.

The First GOP Debate: Trump Stands Out, But Is It a Good Thing?
Baltimore, Maryland August 7, 2015 - The Debates - the first ones, anyway - are over and the talking heads are doing their thing. I believe that some things jumped right out of the boob tube and into America's laps. Whether any of these things will still be striking a chord tomorrow at this time is quite ambiguous. Charles Krauthammer thought Donald Trump bombed, but the Drudge Report said instant poll results immediately after the debate ended said otherwise. A focus group of Republican Voters put together by the imitable Frank Luntz on Fox News revealed that the big winners were Ted Crews and Mike Huckabee. The same group of some 40 folks believed that Trump was a loser. Krauthammer and other pundits thought that Dr. Ben Carson did not shine until the end, but then he shone as bright as could be. He is a passionate man, a gifted man and, like Crews, a brilliant man. His closing remarks allowed all of those characteristics to shine forth. Because it is clear that this campaign will be long and passionate, as well as mean and vindictive, candidates who can stay the course and keep on message are never really out of it. For instance, even though Carly Fiorina was demoted to the "B" debate at 5 pm, she still drew good reviews and the respect of her fellow candidates. She, like Carson and candidates like Ohio Governor John Kasich, Florida Senator Marco 'Rubio, Former New York Governor George Pataki, Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker seem to be well equipped to go the distance. Jeb Bush is also in that group, and he has the added advantage of a campaign war chest that is already overflowing. Four years ago Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania Senator, remained in the GOP race against a well-heeled Mitt Romney even though he was all but broke. He is still broke but still running. He, too, will not go away.
One part or fact of the evening that angered me was the way that the three Fox panelists conducted the debate. Fifteen years ago their hard-edged anti-candidate questions would have drawn praise from anyone who appreciated the objectivity of their approach. But things have changed greatly since then, and not for the better. Fox News has leaped to the top of the TV News World because they treat the right with respect while always remembering that much of America watches their coverage of world and national events because they do not bootlick the Left. That separates it from the three "old" network news organizations, and the print journalists at most American newspapers. Tonight, three journalists who I greatly respect - Megan Kelly, Brett Baier and Chris Wallace - acted like they wanted to earn praise from the rest of the mainstream media that were forced to watch the night's events. Every single question began be boring in on the candidate to whom it was directed. Why? Anyone who pays even a little bit of attention already knew the weaknesses that the questions dutifully recited. A question to Gov. Walker did not merely inquire about his abortion views, it recited that he is generally against all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest, then asked how he could justify such views. If Ms. Kelly was going to ask the Democratic hopefuls the same kind of questions, her question to Walker would have been all well and good, but there is absolutely no chance that she will get such a chance. Blabbermouth Shultz announced this week that the Democrats would hold a series of debates beginning in October. Wait until the panelists are selected for those debates, or, if you wish, wait until the first debate amongst those folk. The panelists will never in a million years ask Hilary a question that is premised with an incisive remark about some specific pecadillo of the Democratic Royalist. Instead, you can almost imagine that type of softball questions coming her way.
Instead of "Mrs. Clinton, you headed a squad of operatives who contacted women who threatened to go public with allegations of improprieties by your husband, the former president. History tells us that the goal of such contacts was to brow-beat these women into keeping their stories out of the public domain. How do such threats square with your claim to be a "champion" of women everywhere?" Viewers of such debates will hear, "Mrs. Clinton, the GOP candidates are, as a group, profoundly anti-women. How will you deal with such intransigence by your opponents?"
Fairness, I believe, required that Megan Kelly and the rest of the panel to conduct themselves in a way that acknowledged that the other party's candidates will never be subjected to the kind of brutal vetting they were treated to last night. For years, many in the GOP have wondered aloud why their candidates continue to subject themselves to the abusive questions they were subjected to when panelists were culled from the mainstream media. The outrageous behavior of TV reporter Candy Crowley, during a debate between Romney and Barack Obama, is still talked about. As I write this post, radio commentators in the early morning (Eastern Daylight Time) say that the Fox panel went way too far. Some have called for Ms. Kelly's termination. Like I say, 15 years ago the panel would've been uniformly praised. Blabbermouth Shultz, in fact, praised Ms. Kelly after the debate for her tough questions. But were the shoe on the other foot, it is a given that Blabbermouth's comments would not be called "praise." And the truth is, neither Ms. Kelly, Mr. Baier, Mr. Wallace, or anyone like them, will ever get a chance to serve on a Democratic Debate panel. Instead, those panelists will likely be pulled from The View or MSNBC, and one has to think ole George Stephanopoulos is also a likely selectee.
Which candidates stood out? In the first debate, Ms. Fiorina and Governor Jindal of Louisiana were outstanding. In the prime time event, Senator Crews was right on his game, handling deftly the allegation - during a question - that his inability to get along with Congressional leaders is evidence of problems to come should he be president. He promised to always tell the truth, even when it is painful to hear and to say. Gov.
Huckabee seemed totally at ease, also handling every question confidently and with answers packed with elegant commentaries about shortcomings amongst the Democrats. In his closing he made a comment that seemed to be a criticism of Mr. Trump, until he concluded his remark by telling the raucous audience at the Quicken Loan Center that he was speaking about Hilary. As mentioned above, Dr. Carson was also impressive. Marco Rubio showed his stuff, too. His weakness, at least with conservatives, is his immigration record. When a controversial immigration bill was before Congress, he joined an infamous "Gang of Eight" that sought to shepard the measure through the United States Senate. It was a mistake because most Republicans wanted nothing to do with the bill because most Americans want nothing to do with amnesty. Rubio has been trying to live this error down ever since. But he is a wonderful and honest man, a fine and maturing leader and would be, I strongly believe, an outstanding President. During his brief minutes on camera during the debate, he made his mark, showing a sure command on all of the issues, and a sure and strong presence that will serve him well should he gain the high office. I thought all of the candidates in the prime time debate came across well. I'm not a Rand Paul fan because of his very strong isolationist tendencies. Even with him, however, the prospects of him as President appeals to me a whole lot more than a Clinton, Sanders or O'Malley presidency. Hilary should not even be a candidate. She is particularly ill equipped for the office, what with her penchant for telling bald faced lies, her fear of speaking publicly, her penchant for back room business, her failure to confront her broken family situation, and her abhorent behavior during the Benghazi Massacre. She knew in advance of the Al Qaeda attack on the United States Consulate that our personnel, including our ambassador, were in profound danger. But instead of doing the correct thing, she towed the line on the Obama administration's public front of having crippled the terrorist group when it "took out" Osama bin Laden. On the night of the attack, she was fully briefed on the extreme danger that American personnel were in, but again she did nothing. Instead of acting, she called or was called from the White House, speaking with Obama. In that conversation Hilary and Obama agreed or finalized to go with the ruse that the attack was caused by reaction to some obscure You Tube Video that had less than 100 hits prior to the September attack.
Clinton and Obama stuck to this ludicrous story for weeks, even, disgracefully, using it when the two of them met with the families of the four dead Americans at Andrews Air Force Base as the bodies were unloaded from the airplane that carried the bodies from Libya. Hilary was quoted as telling one grieving family member that she promised to bring the person who made the video to justice. Justice? For making a video about Mohammed? What about the First Amendment? Believe it or not, the Obama administration dispatched law enforcement to arrest the film maker on some unrelated charge, then sat back as the destitute man sat in jail for months awaiting trial.
Enough about Hilary. She is losing, rapidly, her title as Democratic front-runner to Bernie "the Proud Socialist" Sanders. I hope and pray that our nation hasn't gone down the toilet so far that someone like Sanders can get elected.

Navy Secretary Mabus Said to Seek Charges Against Heroic Marine Who Fired on Islalmic Extremist After the Jihadist Killed Five USA Soldiers; Pentagon May Be Walking Back Threat; A Notice From Google and the EU
BALTIMORE, Maryland August 3, 2015 -
Mabus Said to Ready Charges Against Chattanooga Hero
The roll call of idiots serving the Obama administration includes the current Secretary of the Navy, Raymond Edwin "Ray" Mabus, Jr. (b. 1948). Mabus' Navy background includes all of two years, yet Obama made him Secretary of the Navy. He is now said to be about to undertake one of the most bizarre and reprehensible acts ever undertaken by an American politician. According to Col. Allen West of Fox News (and a great big shout out to superb Baltimore Radio Host Tom Marr), Mabus will bring charges against absolutely Heroic Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, the Chattanooga, Tennessee Naval support center's commanding officer, who is said to have used his personal firearm to engage Muhammad Abdulazeez, the Islamic Jihadist who instigated the incident and killed five soldiers. Had White not done so, there are great odds that many more people would have died in the Islamic-perpetrated carnage. White owns a registered 9 mm Glock and may have been carrying it on the day of the incident, according to the Navy Times. When Abdulazeez opened up fire on the recruiting center in the Tennessee city, White returned fire. Whether White hit Abdulazeez is still being investigated. Abdulazeez was killed later in a shootout with local police. It is said that Mabus believes White violated Navy Regulations by carrying his Glock on the site of the recruiting center.
I have been torn as to whether to bring Impeachment Actions Against Obama. It will split the country apart and give sinister fuel to the Uber Left, which is in the process of trying to destroy the USA. The adage is to grit one's teeth for another 18 months. It is so damn difficult because Obama seems to do more heinous acts daily. He is a terrible President. He is a terrible human being. Charging a hero for saving lives? How much lower do you go? By Monday night, the Pentagon was saying that there were great odds that such charges would not be brought, but they also declined to rule them out.
If this is confirmed in the public forum, will one public official act against it? The "Federalist Papers" web page quoted Col. Allen West as making these comments on the Fox News Web Site upon receiving confirmation of the pending charges against Lt. Cmdr. White:
"What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces — pardon me, our “unArmed Forces”? What would they prefer that Abdulazeez had been able to kill all the Marines and Sailors at the Naval Support Reserve Center? Let me draw an interesting contrast: Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus is more concerned about lifting the ban on transgendered Sailors. Mabus has a problem in that for the first time since 2007 the US Navy will not have a Carrier Battle Group operating in the Persian Gulf. But this knucklehead has no problem with the Navy seeking to destroy the career of a Sailor, a commander of an installation, returning fire against an Islamic jihadist attack. I do not care if it was his personal weapon, he deserves a medal for facing the enemy.
"Folks, this has become the Obama military that will not implement policies for our men and women in uniform to be protected — but will punish them if they do protect themselves. What ever happened to the Navy of John Paul Jones, Farragut, Halsey, and Nimitz? What has happened in our America where we believe that our men and women in uniform — especially the commanders — are just targets for these damn Islamic jihadists?
"Can you imagine the message this sends to ISIS and all the enemies of America? We are going to end his career and court-martial a man who drew his sidearm to protect his command, and the assigned Sailors and Marines."

Mabus Said to Ready Charges Against Chattanooga Hero
The roll call of idiots serving the Obama administration includes the current Secretary of the Navy, Raymond Edwin "Ray" Mabus, Jr. (b. 1948). Mabus' Navy background includes all of two years, yet Obama made him Secretary of the Navy. He is now said to be about to undertake one of the most bizarre and reprehensible acts ever undertaken by an American politician. According to Col. Allen West of Fox News (and a great big shout out to superb Baltimore Radio Host Tom Marr), Mabus will bring charges against absolutely Heroic Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, the Chattanooga, Tennessee Naval support center's commanding officer, who is said to have used his personal firearm to engage Muhammad Abdulazeez, the Islamic Jihadist who instigated the incident and killed five soldiers. Had White not done so, there are great odds that many more people would have died in the Islamic-perpetrated carnage. White owns a registered 9 mm Glock and may have been carrying it on the day of the incident, according to the Navy Times. When Abdulazeez opened up fire on the recruiting center in the Tennessee city, White returned fire. Whether White hit Abdulazeez is still being investigated. Abdulazeez was killed later in a shootout with local police. It is said that Mabus believes White violated Navy Regulations by carrying his Glock on the site of the recruiting center.
