The year 2012 was over all a huge disappointment for me.  Sure, I am one year older and deeper in our collective debt owed the bankers at the Federal Reserve Banks, and I seriously doubt they will ever see any of the money they have graciously sent down the "rathole" our esteemed leaders chose. Now that others have stopped buying our treasuries, the bankers have stepped up to the plate and have been writing US blank checks with no strings attached.  Their efforts will probably be inflationary in the long run and no amount of taxation will ever catch and pass the deficit.  Only when the US currency ceases to be the world's reserve currency will we reap what we have sewn.  That day is coming. I will recommend a tiny fraction of your savings in real estate and gold and silver.  Bonds and stocks are dependent upon others in distant places being honest, and right now they have not kept true to that.  Spending money before it is worthless is another option if...

Inundated by the horrible events in a sleepy Conneticut village, I am curious about all the pundits and their written and spoken hand wringing about Lanza's crime and motives. Killing man on man, has been around since the second generation of mankind was banished from the garden of Eden, some 6,000 years ago give or take a few million years.  Recall Cain on Abel.  Did our early ancestry ban clubs after that horrific crime?  Adam was quoted in the Biblical Times when asked: "Clubs do not kill people, people kill people."   Not many people know the original source of that one. Murder and slaughter are not new to mankind.  It has been taking place all over the world for thousands of years and at levels past which would cause todays pundit's heads to explode.  I believe I have addressed this in a prior enlightened treatice, but since I am old, I may repeat myself even if it means I will have to change my depends adult diaper from a ...

One swallow does not a summer make.  The calls from our national leadership for gun control seems fishy at a time when our society is on the brink of completely falling off the fiscal cliff and is already speeding down the immoral trail of turpitude and decadence.  Soon only those capable of defending themselves and their families along with any private property the takers in government allow them to keep will be the armed and dangerous.  A quick review of recent history is replete with stories of how the unarmed populace fares vs those in power who have all the guns.  Ask the gypsys, the bolsheviks, and the Jews about their experience during world war II.  As Americans if we allow this pipsqueak of a troubled boy to disarm 330,000,000 of our countrymen, with his psychotic out burst that killed 26 in Conneticut, then we may as well shoot ourselves in the head.  More will die after gun control in America at the end of a barrel that otherwise would have....

United Nations Ambassadorette Susan Rice, an American Negress, afforded all the privileges which go with that label, except the one which allows her to be unaccountable for her actions as our representative.  And this exception is troubling to some of our brothers and sisters on the left. Recall it was Ambassador Rice who spewed the Benghazi vile you tube anti-Islamic video misinformation for a couple of weeks after the 9-11 inspired terrorist event to mislead the public and help save foreign policy face for the faultering Obama 2012 presidential campaign.  If Neil Young, that stupid low testosterone singer who rose up out of the primordial soup of decadence and self-indulgence of the 60's rock era were to take notice today, he might raise his testosterone challenged vocal cords to screech out the following verse: "Four dead in Ben Gha zi No word from Hill a ry Four dead in Ben Gha zi Where's Rice Testi Mon y Four dead in Ben Gha zi No word from Hill a ry Four d...

In 2013, the new Obamacare law will take effect and somewhere burried in the 2300 pages of script it is written that medical expenses must be greater than 10% of the adjusted gross income, fully 3% more than this years 7% threshold to qualify for deductability. I called my doctor and he has agreed to write in his healthcare plan for me that for the good of my health that I do the following things: 1:  That I live in a house with heat and air conditioning with a good roof complete with safe appliances that would not be likely to burst into flames and injure my health. 2:  That I only eat the best of foods to preserve my good health and that I eat at least three meals per day. 3:  That I only travel in the safest of vehicles in my day to day living and keep the tank full of the finest fuels, ride on the safest tires and keep it maintained in tip top shape so as not to have any breakdowns which could be hazardous to my health. 4.  That I take my family and mys...

As the titular head of the world's only prestigious Urban Poverty Law Center, established in 1987 on a shoe string budget, which is wholly financed through my own great beneficence, taking no private contributions, yet,  and not cowing to any political party, I have held my comments on the most recent unpleasantness which occurred on November 6, 2012. Readers of my tomes know I am not nor have I been a great Mitt Romney fan, but like many conservatives, who after the contentious 2 year primary fight, we suffered a sort of Stockholm syndrome and had to like this liberal republican who is an accomplished businessman, a fine father, and husband, and who may have been too clean to be president. I believe Romney, had he won this election, was feared by the entrenched who pull the strings and make the world go round and round in the hallowed halls of big government.  How could they be sure he might not expose the corrupt nature of this enterprise which makes millionaires of and ...

Comrades, I come to praise Washington, DC, not to bury it!  Even the most cynical critic of our fearless  leaders must admit some good comes from that pit of decadence, that den of thieves, filled with oversexed sociopaths from all fifty states, Puerto Rico and Guam. Why just this past year between debauchery filled orgies where MOC's celebrating Teddy Kennedy Day took turns sandwiching Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein who were dressed as waitresses, yuck,  sickening,  they pulled it together long enough to raise the debt ceiling to $16 trillion which gives us just enough time to make it through Christmas.  I do not believe there is enough bourbon in Kentucky to make me amenable to "sandwiching" either of those hags of congress.  I have my standards, you know. Enough of the praise already. I know you are busy and are eager to know what great wisdom the neurons firing in my noodle have for your today. The Tenth Amendment to the United States Of Amer...

Comrade Joseph Hussein Stalin famously quipped after too much Russian vodka one evening to a New York Times reporter, "Sure, everyone votes in Russia.  But only I count the votes! That reporter was my great uncle and I found his original notes on his time in the early days of the Russian republic fascinating.  It was Uncle Rheemus Delano Maybolt, writing under the pen name, Nathaniel Whoops, his grandfather's name, who took the liberty to clean up Comrade Stalin's awkward attempt to be quotable, his mind addled by vodka came up with:  "He who casts the vote decides nothing.  He who counts the vote decides everything."  The Russian language has been heavily influenced by vodka throughout the ages.  It is rumored that Tolstoy original intent for "War and Peace" was a short, but 1323 cases of fine Russian vodka later and this is what you get.  It is best read under the influence.  A little publicized fact. Uncle Whoops came to reporting naturally...

My friends and confidants Warren Buffett and George Soros called me after the election with some questions.  I was quite pleased they wanted to know what Jack Maybolt thought of the results. I first assured Mr. Buffett that nothing would change in the US Tax code which would necessitate his paying more than his secretary.  The govermental alliance between our government and corporatism is alive and well.  The sell out of America and its people is complete.  Our value to our government is waning..  only 53% of us even pay anything in taxes, a percentage that will go down even further as the economic storm clouds brewing overhead coalesce.   We still field the most technically advanced fighting force in the world manned mostly with children from red state America.  Our mission, as it has always been, is to keep the world free to loot and trade with for our government's corporate masters.  Jack, Jack, should we bring our sons and daughters...

President Obama was swept back into office by thuggery, buggery and dope(s)!  And all this on an indisguinshed record in office which included more holes of golf and cigarettes smoked screened by a willing press.  A press in lockstep with President Obama and his worldview of America in a diminished   roll in the world's affairs and as the largest consumer of resources ever.  No more 32 ounce Big Gulps from 7-11.   The automobile will become a novelty for the average American, a rich man's plaything and a bureaucrat's privilege. Under the tutelage of our mixed Afrikaner-in-Chief, US businesses will continue to flee, jobs will continue to shrink, and tax revenues will continue to dwindle.  His socialized healthcare will withhold care for the elderly and hospitals will shore up profits by cutting its work force and the quality of care will suffer even more.  Families with hospitalized members will need to hire a private nurse to assure care is prop...

Tennesseans, like me, can vote early.  I voted my conscious a couple of days ago even though I live in a state where the universal mind will invariably do the right thing.  I lived in Wyoming for many years and I did not have to vote for my will to be done.  Tennessee like Wyoming and a host of other states in this great land of ours are in lock-step for Romney/ Ryan. I am proud to live in a location where I am relieved of my civic duty and can be lax and lazy and not vote just to avoid being called to jury duty.  I was assured I would not be called up if I voted and the first year I registered to vote, I was called to jury duty.  Coincidence, perhaps? I explained to the kind Judge, I was a poor selection as I could not pass judgement on my peers as I have none!   His honor was not moved and said I would have to pass judgement on our county's petty criminals and meth cooks to meet my civic duty and assure our form of self-governance and rule of law is m...

The Obama administration is feeling the Benghazi, make me crazy, blow back following President Obama and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta's epic failure to send in the marines when American lives were threatened in Libya. The Benghazi Blame-A-Thon is beginning just one week and dos dias before the election to end this national nightmare known as the Obama Administration! Today we learn the president has replaced the Admiral of the Mid East Carrier group, Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette, a white man, with Rear Admiral Troy M.(Mohamed) Shoemaker, an Arab. President Obama in his brief statement concerning the reassignment commented on how Admiral Charles Gaouette was not being punished for not obeying an order to come to the aid of our stricken Ambassador and our citizens since there was no order to that effect, but was reassigned state side so he could spend more time with his family.  "The Middle East is becom...

If you fight a Muslim with a Muslim, the only likely outcome is a Muslim will win.  This is America's problem in Libya. President Obama, barack HUSSEIN obama, is a closeted Muslim, cloaked by J. Wright's Church of the Black Ascendancy in Chicago, reared and educated by factions whose best interests would be served by US leaders who are more sensitive to Muslim issues and less influenced by the Christian-Judea principles that have guided this country's policies since its founding. Western Common Law is not compatible with Sharia Law.   Our western values have been passed down for centuries and have served us well.  The Middle East has developed a set of laws that serve that region equally well.  But, we do not lop the heads off adulterers, we elect them president.  We do not sever the hands off thieves, we give them prominent positions in government and on Wall Street.  We do not make our women cover head to toe when out in public, though many should cov...

I feel like President Barack Obama has been running for president of the United States for at least four of the past four years.  Turn on the television or crank up the radio and there is his image and his patented soothing baritone voice bleating out some feel-good patriotic gobble-de-gook about the other guy, you know the one, that rich guy over there, who has taken advantage of us by paying half of what he makes to state, local, and federal taxes, additional fees sometimes apply. Obama, in his staccato, drones on and on like a perpetual motion machine, never tiring, never changing, never interesting, never believable on anything that really, really matters. His economic policy:  let Bernanke and the rich white guys over at that private bank called the Federal Reserve, handle it.  Add liquidity, lower values, destroy savings. His energy policy:  give billions in guaranteed loans to friendly campaign bundlers of green energy start-ups and look the other w...

You can tell a lot about a man by his hands.  Mitt Romney has big muscular hands that scream power, yet kindness and compassion. Barack Hussein Obama has effete little pixie hands with very little muscular definition.  They scream inadequate for any task.  He has not worked with those hands.  His hands looked creepy in the third debate. It may be president Obama's greatest handicap. In my mind, Romney wins this election hands down. Jackson Delano Maybolt, President Urban Poverty Law Center

In my corner of the world I can see for miles and miles.  Is there a connection between the US government walking guns across the Mexican border and the problems the Benghazi-Hussein Obama administration has garnered in Libya? On the surface, "Fast and Furious" was a bone headed plan to drum up angst among soccer moms and force a critical mass to come together so something could finally be done about American ownership and rights to bear arms.  Armed Americans can be dangerous.  Despots want to deal with sheep and not wolves whenever possible. Countries without nuclear weapons are sheep, those with, are wolves.  In a carnivorous world where sheep are sheared and eaten, it is no wonder Iran is risking everything to acquire wolf status.  It is only natural the Iranians do not wish to be pulled apart by the countries which have the wolf. Is the policy of the Benghazi-Hussein Obama administration to keep the middle eastern sheep bleating and colliding into one...

I was reading through my copy of "A Redneck's Guide To Understanding Nostradamus" and came across this most puzzling quatrain:                                                                                                              "A man un-black but not quite white                                                         On foreign soil will be his plight                                                          A fantasy turmoi...

Learned readers, I refer you to yesterdays treatise on Candy Alt Crowley where I made the case for what took place in New York at the second presidential debate. Mitt Romney did well considering he got to speak almost 10 minutes less than our current president.  Thank you, Candy.  But if you take Obama's lies out of the debate, Mitt Romney spoke to the American people for 25 minutes longer than the president. Candy was caught with her hand in the White House cookie jar when she kept Mitt Romney from answering the greatest disaster of a president the United States has ever endured, when she sided with the President on his lie in Benghazi. Candy Alt Crowley's blitzkrieg intervention for the struggling Obama kept him from some "splaining" for now and seemed to push the debate win from Romney to the pathetic, propped-up only by the press, present occupant of that high office.  But the families of the slain and the American public deserve to know all the details abou...

Candy Alt Crowley was born in Michigan, raised in Missouri and New York and took a degree in English from a major American University.  She has worked her way up the ladder in Television without the benefits of strikingly good looks or a stunning figure.   Does this mean she is intellectual?  Or, is she just some kind of a fat freaky affirmative action hero for all the big gals fresh out of journalism school trying to land that first TV gig? Oddly she is a vegetarian and spends as much as 17 hrs and 39 minutes of each and every day consuming vegetables high in fiber.  With 4 hours and 29 minutes in the bathroom added, this leaves only a few short hours for this remarkable woman to complete her liberally slanted reporting for CNN. I got my first glimpse of the rotund reporterette, Ms. Crowley, during the run-up for the 1996 presidential election between Bill Clinton, to whom CNN assigned a beautiful young female reporter whose name escapes me, and that o...

I understand Black America's love affair with Barack Obama.  I felt it with Sarah Palin because she was just like my people, ordinary common sense people with a sense of fairness and no room for the sleazy back room deals which go on in the higher echelons of government. She was destroyed because she threatened the status quo.  She wisely opted out and has continued her assault from the sidelines through endorsements and the bully pulpit she gained from her brilliant rise to popularity.  Placing strong candidates in the house, senate and in state houses all across the country will get America where she rightly belongs better than a President Palin who would have to contend with the corrupt old boys club in Washington DC. My grandmother was fond of pointing out:  "Rome wasn't built in a day!"  But even Caligula only ruled for four years. The first presidential debate had two important results.  First, Mitt Romney was given a chance to speak directly to...

Today venerable readers I will fill you in on Y President Barack Hussein Obama is not a good fit for America. Probably the most important point is Obama spent his Mickey Mouse years living in Indonesia attending a grade school in a strict muslim environment, instead of watching Big Bird, Elmo, and reciting the American pledge of allegiance.  He learned to think in Indonesian first.  English is his second language. Next, he comes to Hawaii and is mentored by F. Marshall Davis, communist sympathizer, during his preteens and teens.  Then off to Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard Law where he apparently had an undistinguished academic career or we would have been beaten to death with what fine scholarship our young Nubian Statesman exhibited in his Choom-Gang haze daze. After Harvard, Barack hooks up in Chicago with more subversives, Wright, Dorn, and Ayers, for his US connections, and Valarie Jarrett,  Iranian bred and backed, and a leading contender as the lead pu...

If anybody was off line, out of country or just not paying attention you may have wondered what that sharp crack heard around the world was that started at 7pm mountain stardard time which was traced to Denver University and its auditorium where the first of three presidential debates was held. That crack was the sound of the bull whip Mitt Romney employed fueled by his superior business knowlege, his conservative principles, and a wit that allowed Mr. Romney to debate rings around a seemingly sluggish and out of sorts President Obama. Al Gore, Jr, that world renown self-taut(sic) global warming expert, blamed President Obama's sluggish debate on the mile high elevation there in Denver, noting that Mitt Romney had come in a day earlier and therefore had  time for his physiology to adjust to the rarefied air there in Denver.  This and that Romney does not smoke, but President Obama does not smoke either, does he?  At least the press is still covering for his bad c...

To my highly intelligent readership:  Jim Lehrer as host of the first presidential election debate will be blamed by all his colleagues in the Obama Cheering Print and Televison media for not keeping a closer check on that "snap" on the right of President Obama, Willard Mitt Romney.  Even Big Bird was heard grumbling about Jim's weak performance over his morning bowl of birdseedies cereal. Jim, we barely even knew thee! Mitt, as it seems, I barely even knew thee!  I have been subjected to that same powerful media filter that kept W. Bush, the real W. out of the view of his adoring public.  The filter was lifted for 90 minutes in Denver, and there was Romney, looking and sounding like Ronald Reagan, and there was President Obama sounding and looking like the impish intellectual impostor that he has been his entire life. Obama was clearly flummoxed by President-Elect Romney.  I could tell when Romney landed a blow because President Obama's ears, overly gener...

Anybody who has been watching politics since the media was captured by the communist sympathizers just after the Tet Offensive in Viet Nam knows no Republican politician since Ike Eisenhower has gotten a fair shake in the print and TV media. Nixon, demonized, Ford labeled a stupid jock, Reagan, the actor with an empty head, Bush 41, an out of touch Martha Vineyard elitist, and Bush 43, a misunderestimated numbskull. If we ignore 50 years of history, perhaps Mitt Romney will be treated fairly by the repugnant petulant press during the up coming debates. Here is how I see the debates being framed. Jim Lehrer:  "We welcome our telivision audience to the first of three Presidential debates, as you know the debate format is slanted for and seeks to reinforce the strengths of President Barack Obama, (pause for a loud cheering auditorium packed with 1.37 million SEIU members holding Obama for President signs and texting on Obama phones) and will degrade his unworthy chal...

President Obama is in Trouble with a capitol "T".   His supporters have lost some of that fresh off the shelf enthusiasm he enjoyed back during the 2008 campaign and election.  President Obama's trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions in deficit spending has nothing to show for it but $4 gasoline and $5 Happy Meals with apple slices, thanks a lot, Michelle! Great Britian's Royal's cost that country's treasury only $58 millions a year, and the snap of young Catherine's perky breasts somewhere a mile away from the photographer, even with 1.5 pixelated nipples is tittilating enough to be worth the money. Contrast what Americans spent last year to keep up  The Obamas .  $1.8 billion dollars !  America spends 30 times what  England spends to keep up its royals and our money is spent on a couple of  classless commoners  who hate the country and its founding principles and nobody even t...

The Obama's spend idyllic hours on "The View" undergoing a grueling interrogation into the president's failed policies at home with his bumbling of the economy and the mess that is the middle east.  His response? "Eye Candy." Which sent a nervous titter of laughter through the View's highly intelligent and politically diverse audience. He was kidding, right? His handlers quickly cancelled his top level meeting with Muslim Brother Egypt's M. Morsi so his snub of Israel's prime minister Ben N. would not seem as it was meant. Smart! And the major media polling continues to prop up his numbers in an attempt to keep interest in this limp -wristed socialist campaign for reelection. I ask my friends "Who do you think will win the election, Obama, or the American people?" The Tea Party will be out, though not sold on Mitt Romney, they are definitely a solid vote against the Narcissistic Knuckle-headed Keynesian from  Kenya, H...

Today's post will be short and to the point. It is monday and I know everyone who reads this tripe is busy. ARAB SPRING: OBAMA'S FALL Jackson Delano Maybolt, President Urban Poverty Law Center

The recent under reported riots in China against the Japanese where Toyota and Honda car dealerships are burning like crosses in the reconstruction South during Jim Crowe under the watchful eye of the greatest Civil War General, Nathan Bedford Forrest bodes ill winds blowing Japan's way. From what I can gather, even in our news media black out on the subject, the Chinese have disputed ownership of a couple of islands in the Sea of Japan or the China Sea, depending upon your perspective. These islands are probably floating on a sea of oil and natural gas and the Chinese like these sorts of commodities and will even pay for them if they have too. However, for China, going to war for treasure and financial gain is the only reason to undertake this risk to treasure and life if you exclude putting down internal riots for democracy which rear up every two generations or so. The timing of Chinese aggression is telling. America is lead by the girly-man administration of President Barack...

I woke up this morning with a terrible amygdala ache. When I awoke I was frightened, but at the same time really, really wanting to kick someone's ass. However, I did not want to choose a person larger than myself so as to minimize the chances of my being injured in my aggression. What to do? After a few moments, my mind cleared and I recalled my angst originated with the news coverage of the terrible events in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and soon Iran and Israel. I took a Tylenol, a piss, and crawled back into bed and pulled the covers over my bald head to keep the chill off the noggin and drifted into a fitful sleep. The dream: I am on a mountain over looking a beautiful valley with fertile fields of wheat and pastures filled with cattle. Men and boys were busy in the fields as the younger children and the women and older girls tended to the washing and the smaller animals. A river cut through the valley in the lazy pattern taken by water when there is plenty of time ...

Not since Jimmy Carter played footsie with the Ayatollah in the late 1970's when Iranian "students" stormed our embassy in Tehran and held our embassy staff hostage for over 400 days has this degree of ineptness been on display from our foreign policy wonks. Wonks who take marching orders from President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarret, or is it Van Jones who is calling these hotshots today? It does not matter, because the Buck responsible for the killing of Libyan Ambassador J. Christ. Stevens is owned by President Obama. Is this the same President Obama who skipped out an all his intelligence briefings these past 8 days. Is this the same President Obama who can't stop his campaign fundraising long enough to come up with a cogent response to what has just befallen four of our foreign service workers? Is this the same President Obama who believes Marines on guard duty in a Foreign Islamic country can have no need for ammunition? Tell me, do you suppose his SS detail is ...

When our earliest settlers had problems with hostile natives, our "boom sticks" gave our forefathers a decided advantage. Gun powder vs sticks and stones, advantage gun powder. Right now we are in conflicts on foreign lands and again we have a decidedly superior technological advantage with our drones, and spy satellites and our advantages will probably keep us safe and winning for now. What happens when our enemies get the same technology. Can anyone be safe anywhere if drones are flying all over the country, our country, and can we tell if this drone is ours and that drone is, for the sake of argument, Iranian? I do recall the drone which crashed to ground in Iran. Does anybody believe they are not with the help of the Chinese furiously reverse engineering this and will be out with these in the future? All these technologies will be turned on us. Just like the natives here they soon got the hang of the fire stick and that made a little bit of difference. Jackson Delano Mayb...
