Hide Your Schools, Hide Your Homes, Hide Your Children, Cause He’s Wrecking it All

Hammer in one hand paint brush in the other
Rahm Emanuel is single handedly destroying our city
Mr. wreck it Rahm
look what Chicago is becoming
bending the rules to fit in the lie of building a New Chicago
building new streets
when his own plan got some pot holes

Tearing down our dreams
its getting really windy in these streets
Red X’s mark the spots where his wrecking balls are next to drop

We are not included in the Blue Print of the New Chicago: we’re being pushed out
our buildings transformed into condos – and we know those AIN’T FOR US
Thermal shock is setting in from the whipping wind of the heartless sins
of the mayor

Norfolk Railroads is pushing us southern folk out
Homes replaced with tracks
that will be laid
where our heads used to
If dry wall could talk
it would speak many prayers to keep our homes
now vacant lots that hold lots of remnants
of 60 years of backyard barbeques
baby showers
and when electric sliding was the super power of the summer
55th and Normal
we are losing all of this

Torturing, tormenting us as we choke on the ashes of our memories
*Cough Cough*
Let’s hope we don’t get sick
Because he’s closing all our clinics
He needs to get treated
And then maybe we can sew back on the other half of the middle finger
that he has been giving us

Its almost as if he’s E Manuel of E-Limination
Exportation!
Extermination!
Eradication!

Step one: Take away our schools
Step Two: Put them out their home
Lastly: Destroy it all and
Deny Deny Deny
But remember, to always keep a straight face when you lie!

Try to pour the cheap paint over our eyes while stealing dollars from under our mattresses
There’s not enough? Close their schools
But he’s building a new DePaul Stadium
Using our TIF funds to Transform the South Loop into the Promised Land of redevelopment
and some river walk
of course downtown
The paint is starting to streak.
Building a New Chicago or extending a new lie!
How can a city so in debt blueprint something so expensive?

Banneker Elementary – Closed
Woods Elementary – Closed
Yale Elementary – Closed

The paint is cracking:
From every west side basketball brotherhood
To south side sisterhood bonds through pom-poms
And every poetry team that had dreamed of being on this very stage
has been ripped apart,
Goodbye

Bad foundation for our future generations
struggling with 40 students in one class
so they learn from the streets
There’s not money for our schools, but, there’s enough to build a New Chicago
But that New Chicago is NOT for us.
The paint is wearing thin and so was our patience
Irreparable damage has already been done

Time to stop the destruction of OUR city
Prevent the further corruption of our already twisted politics of Chicago

25% of Chicago school children won’t amount to anything
25
50
75
100% sure that we will be something
See Rahm we are mathematicians
your lies are adding up
and this New Chicago is just another one of them

Book Review – Afghanistan On The Bounce

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton


Purchase at Amazon.com

Once in a while, I get to do something really cool… this is one of those times. I was sent a copy of Afghanistan On The Bounce. I kid you not when I say I had to fight my family for the book. First my daughter, who served in the Army wanted it; then hubby drooled over it, having served in the Air Force. Me first, guys! The book reminded me of my father’s service in the Navy and the Merchant Marines. He would have loved this book. 😉

Most of us have wondered what it would be like to serve in Afghanistan. Now, you can have a full-color peek into the day to day life of our bravest and those that live around them. This book has some of the most fantastic photography I have ever seen. It also has all kinds of neat little inserts. Robert Cunningham and Steven Hartov put tremendous effort into this book – it is a gift I would be proud to give everyone I know and I am so very honored to have been sent a copy for review. The book is a fantastic collection of the full range of the troops’ experiences — on patrol, in combat, in the chow line and in religious services — through photographs, stories, diagrams and removable ephemera.

To capture the actual experiences in the battlefield and at ease, Cunningham tagged along with 40 different units on 132 combat missions. Robert Cunningham has been a professional photographer for more than a decade, has photographed 9 heads of state, 12 prime ministers, 3 governors, multiple astronauts, cosmonauts, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, renowned actors, musicians and professional race car drivers, as well as servicemembers from 15 different nations. His work has taken him under way aboard U.S. Navy submarines, into zero-gravity in low earth orbit and to more than 450 cities in 25 countries. His work is displayed in many galleries and museums including The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. When I tell you he is the very best, I mean it. Steven Hartov, who was a contributor on the book, is the former editor-in-chief of Special Operations Report and co-author of the New York Times best sellers In the Company of Heroes and The Night Stalkers. His trilogy of espionage novels, The Heat of Ramadan, The Nylon Hand of God and The Devil’s Shepherd, earned nominations for the National Book Award, top ten placements in the Book of the Month Club, and translations into 6 foreign languages. His works are recommended readings by the U.S. Army War College. I actually stand in awe of both these men and what they have created in this book. You must get a copy.

Not only was I rocked by the fabulous, professional photography… the book itself actually brought me to tears and captivated me from the very beginning. It brought home to me what it was like over there. I have never served, but this gave me a brief glimpse into the life of heroes. It is a moment in time when you get to walk in the footsteps of giants. You also get to know the people over there and how they live. I dare you to read this book and then tell me you don’t have a heartfelt appreciation for our troops and what they go through.

I was deeply touched and moved by this book. I can never do it full justice in a review. I will tell you this… over the years, of all the books I have read and reviewed, this book is in the top 5 and could be number 1. When you read it and take it in, you will fall in love with our troops all over again and thank God that they are there for us, watching our backs and protecting us, when others seek to harm us and our nation. Simply a wonderful book and one that you need to share with family and friends.

Cunningham risked his life for this book. I want to share a few photos with you, so you get a feel for the book (although, you have to see the book, to really get it):

Cunningham took over 55,000 photos while he was in Afghanistan and the ones in Afghanistan On The Bounce are the cream of the crop.

From The Hero Ramp:

We are told with cynicism that we are born alone and we will die alone But from the moment of his very last breath, no American hero is alone out here. The word is relayed in whispers. There’s a Hero Ramp ceremony today. And they begin to gather, from all over the base. Soldiers, airmen, marines, nondescript civilians from other government agencies, contractors and cooks and drivers. No one needs to tell them where to stand, how to form up, what to do. They know this, and they swirl into a silent cordon of respect, lining that final path from the hospital to the pair of Black Hawk helicopters, one of which will serve as his riderless horse.

Encased in a rubber cocoon, draped in the American flag, escorted in silence on a wheeled gurney, he is never without guiding hands, prayers, salutes. This is a moment of secrets kept, for only this solider’s warrior brothers and sisters know that he is gone. It will be some time until his wife gasps with the news. His parents and children haven’t yet been informed. Only later will they know that two hundred souls wept here with him and served as his most devoted bearers to that final flight. When it’s over, and the helicopters have faded away into that perfect sky, the mourners will disperse in absolute silence. He has given his last full measure, and their comfort is in knowing that should their time come, they will also be delivered by a brace of angels.

From play time, to battle… from beautiful shots of the countryside, to the people there… this book is comprised of some of the most memorable photography and writing you will find anywhere. Hard bound, with heavy stock and high quality pages, this book would be a handsome addition to any room or collection. This is a gift that will be something to hand down in families… a gift that moves the recipient to tears, causes those who have served to remember and engenders pride and gratitude for all our brave warriors and for everything they sacrifice for us. I thank the authors and I am blessed to have a copy grace my desk. Order Afghanistan On The Bounce today. It’s one of the best moves you’ll ever make.

Maryland I270 Manhunt 3/11/14

Martial Law Cannot Be Far Away Now! Massive Car To Car Warrantless Search In DC Region

Police halt Montgomery County commuters on I-270 to hunt for bank robbery suspects

Manhunt leads to massive roadblock, warrantless car-to-car searches

ROCKVILLE, MD — Thousands of motorists were brought to a standstill when police conducted a massive roadblock to find three crime suspects. Twelve lanes of traffic were shut down and swarms of armed government agents combed through a giant traffic jam performing warrantless vehicle-to-vehicle searches.

The busy Tuesday morning commute was abruptly halted just after 10:00 a.m. on March 11th. One driver told ABC News that traffic stopped and he witnessed 30 police cars pass on the shoulders of I-270 near Rockville. “Then, when I saw a wall of police officers with automatic weapons approaching our cars, it was apparent that something serious was taking place.”

The Essence of Sarah Palin’s Message for 2014

By: Lloyd Marcus

I watched a great old movie in the time period of the 1700s starring Anthony Quinn. A small village was brutally abused by an evil bandit and his army of thugs. Quinn organized and inspired the fearful villagers to fight back. When villagers were killed, many blamed, criticized and rejected Quinn. Displaying true leadership, Quinn remained willing to fight. He informed his critics that cowardice begets more tyranny. Freedom ain’t free.

Folks, true leaders pay a heavy price which is why they, as do eagles, fly alone. Sarah Palin has led by example, displaying tremendous courage, backbone and grit by standing up for conservative principles, traditional values, freedom and liberty; even when some conservatives and establishment Republicans joined the chorus of liberals, Democrats and MSM calling her a fool.

Someone said if you promote a lie long enough, for some, it becomes reality. Such is the case regarding Palin’s smarts. Meanwhile, Obama’s list of faux pas including his recent inability to correctly spell “respect” are ignored or laughed-off.

Threatened by her enormous presence and the extreme impact of her inspiring 2008 VP nomination acceptance speech, Democrats and the MSM immediately launched a campaign to destroy Palin. In their joint effort to discredit her, every word out of Palin’s mouth has been viewed through an unjust false lens which assumes that she is an idiot. I challenge anyone on the planet to survive such extreme critical scrutiny.

Sarah Palin is not perfect. She is a human being like the rest of us. But, Sarah Palin is an unmistakably gifted charismatic born leader who inspires millions to fight back against the horrible evil attempting to overtake our great nation. Palin’s passion is fueled by her love for God, family and country and her knowledge that freedom ain’t free. Thank God Palin is conservative.

For those on our side who wish to nit-pic everything Palin says and does, I ask, what the heck are you thinking? Stop it! Obama and his vile minions (Lois Lerner and others) are launching daily unprecedented outrageous assaults on our freedoms. Why waste time, energy and resources beating up on one of our few generals leading the charge to restore America?

As a proud conservative, I hold our leaders to a higher standard than the Democrats. I expect conservative leaders to make character driven decisions rooted in the best interest of the American people. However, I think it is unfair and foolish to demand that our leaders be perfect in every way. We should not join our enemies in berating them every time a conservative has a less than home run hitting media appearance. Our laser focus should be on exposing and stopping Obama’s non-stop crimes against our Constitution. Attacking our own is counter productive.

Despite the left’s best efforts to silence her, Palin has been relentless, sounding the alarm of all the bad things that would accompany an Obama presidency. Palin was right. America’s chickens have come home to roost for electing Obama.

Here are Palin’s predictions which have come true.

Obama pacifying world aggressors would have negative consequences.

Russia (which had just invaded the sovereign nation of Georgia, a U.S. ally) would feel emboldened to send troops in Ukraine as well. http://nws.mx/1lkZ7LT

Under Obamacare there would be government “death panels” that would determine whether or not a patient should be eligible to receive life-saving treatments, or whether it would be cheaper to just let that patient die. Could you ever imagine such a thing in America? http://bit.ly/1fOQ7iC

A few liberals have admitted that Palin was right when she said Obama does not have a whole lot of substance. http://bit.ly/1cnKkQm

Sarah Palin was right on all these issues.

But the most important thing that Palin has been right about, winning her my utmost respect, is her unapologetic advocacy of true Conservatism; confidently touting Conservatism as the miracle cure for all of America’s woes. http://bit.ly/1d9Tg78

The 2014 midterm election must be a vote for Conservatism. Conservatives in office is the only way we defeat our outlaw president and his army of thugs. We must take the House and the Senate.

Palin’s CPAC speech confirms that she continues to lead the charge. Her battle cry is loud, strong and clear. If the GOP wishes to repeat the victory it enjoyed in 2010, it had better embrace the Tea Party (Conservatism). http://bit.ly/1lMKggd

I stand with Sarah Palin 100%. I pray you will do the same. http://bit.ly/1d9Tg78
