About me
My husband and I have been married for nearly 39 years. We have 3 adult (kinda') children and 5 awesome grandchildren.

My Christian faith and tennis are large in my life. For the last 16 yrs. I've been the caregiver of my MIL, my Dad, my Grandchildren, and now my Mother. It has been hard and the internet allows my mind to escape for a while.
Why I use Clipmarks
There is always something interesting to read. It provides a great way to communicate ideas and opinions and learn new things.

POPS
US Afghan Envoy Urges Caution on Troop Increase
jatfla
by jatfla  Yesterday 11:26 PM   
 And whose side, exactly, is he on??? Undermine and put at risk those who are there by lack of support and back-up or go all out and get the job done. Which has, traditionally, been the American way? Every day that the so-called CIC delays, the more imperiled our loved ones become.

 Ralph Peters always goes to the heart of a matter. He and Bolton are Americans' friends. We need people to clear the cob-webs from our brains and from the PC that we've been guilted into accepting. See the realities or succumb and speed up the decline of America.

Club for Growth Endorses Rubio
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009   
 Moving on to the next ousting of a RINO. The GOP came out of the gate supporting Crist, but the man is just a Democrat with an R behind his name. Rubio will have my vote. On a recent survey sent out by the Republican Party I wrote "Rubio" all over it. They asked all the right questions and then give us crummy candidates.

Obama skips Berlin Wall ceremonies
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009   
 I don't think he wanted to pay tribute to the historical impact that Reagan had at that time. Besides after a weekend at Camp David and the celebration of the House's healthcare passage...just too tired.

Time to walk away from Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009   
 FTA: "We should stop feeling as though we have to apologize for our friendship with Israel, or pretend that the Palestinians and their Arab neighbors didn’t create their own misery through a series of wars against Israel which they lost. Let the Palestinians and the Israelis tend to their own interests, and we should tend to our own as well. When the Palestinians figure out that we are not interested in beating our heads against the wall by dealing with terrorists uninterested in actual negotiations, then perhaps they’ll produce effective leadership with more interest in coexistence rather than annihilation." I think I agree.

POPS
The Lords of Entitlement
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009   
 They WILL subjugate us. They do not represent us; they have, indeed, become our "lords". We work for Washington. The American people have entered a new era of serfdom and slavery. The action in the Senate on this bill and the 2010 elections are our last hopes.

US can give Iran space to accept atom deal: Official
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009    1
 What a bunch of fools. The IAEA is a pawn of the Iranians and the majority of UN 'diplomats' are Muslim sympathizers. It's all about stalling and doing nothing while Iran steadily moves on with it's nuclear programs. Why not just give them the dang bomb, shut down the IAEA and the UN, eliminate all diplomatic positions and end the charade. Everyone knows that Iran is NOT going to stop its nuclear weapons development.

Tragedy at Ft. Hood
jatfla
by jatfla  11-9-2009    4
 An American with a brain AND common sense along with a resume and experience. He dares to speak the truth. Excellent article. FTA: "There should not be some 30 Islamic terrorist training camps in America that has nothing to do with First Amendment, Freedom of Religion. The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional."

POPS
Lieberman Refuses to Ignore the Obvious
jatfla
by jatfla  11-8-2009   
 Why was this man *ever* on the ticket with Al Gore??? FTA: "why it is that eight years after 9/11, Hasan’s behavior did not set off alarm bells?" Complacency and PC. As I've said in other clips, freedom of Religion is a foundational stone of our Constitution. Freedom of Speech is also. However, if it quacks like a duck...it might be a duck and it's those who are in authority who are responsible to discern.

POPS
Palin & the Dysfunctional Political Class
jatfla
by jatfla  11-8-2009    1
 The current GOP seems to look for mediocrity...someone who will *fit*...a person who appears *electable*, a vanilla-type. It seems to stand for everything and yet nothing. Whether Mrs. Palin would make a good Presidential candidate, I don't know. But I'm weary to death of the clandestine people who mouth conservative rhetoric and then fold when the game is on. Give me a candidate who gives me a clear choice; not one who bows to the current political breeze blowing through Washington. I've just about lost all "Hope" because I don't see any on the horizon.

POPS
Do not deny what happened at Ft. Hood
jatfla
by jatfla  11-7-2009   
 FTA: "Getting at Islamist cells, to say nothing of lone, self-appointed jihadis within our society, means getting over the false sentimentality that turns a terrorist incident into an "incomprehensible tragedy" when it is not incomprehensible, and not a theatrical event." "We'd be better off confronting that Islamist enemy, than spraying perfume after each fatal strike." Long article but worth the read.

Obama snubs Ft. Hood to relax @ Camp David
jatfla
by jatfla  11-7-2009    1
 No surprise really. Just more evidence that Obama cares not a twit for our military and is happy to enjoy the perks of being President in name only. Besides, it makes him uncomfortable to be around REAL men and women.

Poll: Huge majority doesn't want Dems' health care bill

 But do they care?? I have never seen such a push & shove match going on. This isn't about health care for our citizens. This is about power & control.

St. investigators taking dozens of computers from ACORN office...
jatfla
by jatfla  11-6-2009    1
 Oh my. It will be interesting to know what all they find. Course there has been plenty of time to get rid of some things. I guess the man with the cart didn't want any one in Washington to know who he is.

Jobless Rate Jumps to 10.2%
jatfla
by jatfla  11-6-2009   
 How much of that Stimulus money has gone overseas to *create* US jobs over there? I guess Ms. Pelosi will say we need to extend the unemployment benefits even more and her health care bill will be needed now more than ever. The American people can not win with this crowd. This Administration is Carter on steroids.

The High Price of Nuclear Waste
jatfla
by jatfla  11-4-2009   
 The federal government agreed in 1982 to provide a permanent site to deposit nuclear waste...and now, just like that, it's off the table & closed. MORE incompetency. He just jerked the rug out from under the nuclear power program and the nation's utilities are in a real financial bind..

Protests flare in Iran's capital ....

 "....opposition protesters warned the Obama administration -- which is seeking to engage Iran to defuse a confrontation over Tehran's nuclear program -- that now's not the time for a deal." Hmmm....and this: "...Protesters chanted, "Death to the dictator" and "Russia is the den of espionage,".....

Gibbs: Obama 'not watching returns'
jatfla
by jatfla  11-3-2009    2
 He's probably playing basketball. He can say what he wants but it was obvious to the political hounds that he was stumping for his guys. Now it's time to distance himself. Hypocrites, ALL!!!!

GOP sweep: Big governor victories in Virginia, NJ

 So glad to see Corzine go. He made his fortune on Wall Street and then received buddy Obama who sought/seeks to, hypocritically, undermine it. May the chickens come home to roost.

Pa. Woman, daughter hold signs admitting theft
jatfla
by jatfla  11-3-2009    1
 Excellent punishment for a minor crime. Why clog up the jails or let them off with a fine? I wish this kind of thing would be done more often. It's practical, effective, and hopefully a teachable few hours.

Top 10 GOP Moderate Moments (via Rush)
jatfla
by jatfla  11-3-2009    2
 As I was in the car I switched him on and he was just beginning his countdown. Yes. Either the 'moderates' form their own party or the true conservatives must. I'm tired of voting for the lesser of the 2 evils and violating my true convictions. While these 'moderate' Republicans may be very nice people with good intentions...few actually shared my values. And he's right! The #1 'moderate' revealed so much about himself.

Planned Parenthood Leader Resigns After Watching Ultrasound of Abortion
jatfla
by jatfla  11-2-2009    2
 I'm glad the woman is no longer associated with Planned Parenthood and now is seeking to help pregnant women in a different way, but I do wonder how she can "feel so clean"....unless she is speaking of the forgiveness she is acknowledging that comes from the Lord.

US Congratulates Karzai on Winning Second Term
jatfla
by jatfla  11-2-2009   
 Good grief! It's one thing to accept Karzai is still the *President* there even though the election was ruined by fraud...but to send 'congratulations' is a little over the top.

Scozzafava endorses Owens
jatfla
by jatfla  11-1-2009    1
 Well, well, well. And to think, the GOP Party thought she was worth endorsing. Thank you Mrs. Palin (and others) for exposing another Republican (conservative) in name only. I wonder if this is the new Democrat strategy....get their people to run as Republicans. And we're so asleep and/or complacent that conservatives just trust the R after their names. (sigh)

Seminoles outscore N.C. State 45-42
jatfla
by jatfla  10-31-2009   
 What a lame article. It was a fantastic game. Neck & neck the whole time. Ponder has been injured it seems like forever and he got pounded several times. He looked like a dead-man walking sometimes. With 5 seconds to go, no time outs, and NC State working for a Tie, their quarterback threw the long ball. In the end zone the ball bounced around, popping up and FSU gets the interception!!! While I rarely watch football anymore, the game was a nail-biter for this one who is wanting Bobby Bowden to finish well. As the commentators said several times during the game...he deserves to coach as long as he desire and retire on his terms. He put FSU on the map, helped contribute financially to the college, built a strong program, and has been a wonderful mentor to many young men. OK sports fans...signing off. :~)

American with AK-47 says he fights off attack in Kabul...

by jatfla  10-31-2009   
 Interesting article. I'm sure the media will at some point determine if this story is true since those who escaped have been evacuated. He is 62 and according to his father had fought with the Afghans against the Russians so he's been there quite some time.
