About Obama on terrorism at the SOTU last night…

Last night, Obama did mention terrorism and ISIS/ISIL. I took another look through the transcript and missed this part. He did mention Paris after all, my bad, I didn’t catch that.

Obama said,

“First, we stand united with people around the world who’ve been targeted by terrorists — from a school in Pakistan to the streets of Paris. We will continue to hunt down terrorists and dismantle their networks, and we reserve the right to act unilaterally, as we’ve done relentlessly since I took office to take out terrorists who pose a direct threat to us and our allies.

At the same time, we’ve learned some costly lessons over the last thirteen years.

Instead of Americans patrolling the valleys of Afghanistan, we’ve trained their security forces, who’ve now taken the lead, and we’ve honored our troops’ sacrifice by supporting that country’s first democratic transition. Instead of sending large ground forces overseas, we’re partnering with nations from South Asia to North Africa to deny safe haven to terrorists who threaten America. In Iraq and Syria, American leadership — including our military power — is stopping ISIL’s advance. Instead of getting dragged into another ground war in the Middle East, we are leading a broad coalition, including Arab nations, to degrade and ultimately destroy this terrorist group. We’re also supporting a moderate opposition in Syria that can help us in this effort, and assisting people everywhere who stand up to the bankrupt ideology of violent extremism. This effort will take time. It will require focus. But we will succeed. And tonight, I call on this Congress to show the world that we are united in this mission by passing a resolution to authorize the use of force against ISIL.”

While this whole section is about terrorism above, notice how he never mentioned Muslim or Islam once. Never called any of this radical Islam as I predicted. Even though he mentions Paris, he never says anything about Charlie Hebdo or “Je suis Charlie”. He was careful on not bringing up Muhammed’s name. Muslim sympathizer, that’s why!

What he said in bold, “moderate opposition in Syria”. What does he mean here? Yes, that’s right aiding Syrian rebels (aka terrorists the bad guys who John McCain went out to shake hands with) money and running guns to them. You can see that he was careful on not mentioning, “gun running”.

Hey Obama, I have a better idea on how to destroy Isis once and for all. How about not sending terrorists money and guns? How about not releasing terrorists from Gitmo?

What’s wrong with sending US Troops or Navy Seals over to kill every last one of them? Obama won’t do that ’cause he was the one who started Isis/Isil in the first place. Why would he kill what he started?

Supporting “Moderate Opposition” isn’t gonna destroy Isis. All that’s gonna do is make terrorism even more powerful. Arresting Obama and those in government responsible for starting this terrorist group should be arrested and charged. That’s how you destroy Isis is arrest the people responsible for starting the group and that’s the US government.

The piano/keyboard instruction begins!!!

So this week, I finally got around to learning how to play piano/keyboards. I’m just learning beginner stuff through an instructional book I have for the Ipad. I want to take piano and electric keyboard lessons seriously so I can prepare myself to use a MIDI controller sometime in the future. I know nothing about keyboards and MIDI controllers but I’m learning now.

I want to get into MIDI controllers and electric keyboard stuff so I can get into MIDI recording for the DAW sometime in the future. That’s pretty much the way to go if you wanna make your own backing tracks for your songs.

Learning piano is fun and it doesn’t seem all that hard either. Seems like a piece of cake so I can probably get good at the piano in about a year if I keep at it.

I have an old cheap electric keyboard that somebody gave me for free a while back so I’ll just use that to learn on for now until I get an even better and more professional MIDI controller down the road.

I really want to get into MIDI controllers… that way I can add all kinds of orchestration, strings, violin, brass instruments (like sax, trumpet, etc), and can add some organ sounds to my songs. That’s pretty much what I wanna do.

I wanna make the kind of music where you can make hard rock and classical together kind of like what Dream Theater does. Make progressive rock music.

I would like to experiment making some techno/electronica music as well.

This is why I want to get an audio interface with MIDI hookups ’cause the Focusrite 2i4 has that. I didn’t get the Focusrite 2i4 yet but still saving up for that stuff which is gonna take a few months. Soon, I’m gonna order the Focusrite, the two studio speaker monitors, the studio headphones and I should get a pop filter too. I should get a pop filter for the microphone so I can record clean vocals to avoid pop sounds and breathing into the mic, ya know?

Can’t wait to get all this stuff. I wanna make some serious music. Take my time with it and make something really good. You can do all of this in the comfort of your own home instead of paying a lot of money on a local studio. You can make a professional sounding album or a demo right at home. That’s the beauty of home recording.

More thoughts on the State of the Union last night…

FreeMrPresident

Last night Obama said, the biggest lie in the entire “SOTU” speech is in bold:

Surely we can agree it’s a good thing that for the first time in 40 years, the crime rate and the incarceration rate have come down together, and use that as a starting point for Democrats and Republicans, community leaders and law enforcement, to reform America’s criminal justice system so that it protects and serves us all.

That’s a better politics. That’s how we start rebuilding trust. That’s how we move this country forward. That’s what the American people want. That’s what they deserve.

I have no more campaigns to run. My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I’ve had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol — to do what I believe is best for America.

Noticed how he refused to say Constitution and oath in the same sentence. Instead he says, “On the steps of this Capitol” and “Do what I believe is best for America”. More egomaniacal comments.

Um, no Obama. You swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution which you haven’t been doing since 2008. All you did was shred it to pieces and never cared. Presidents are elected to protect and defend the Constitution, NOT do what’s best for America.

On top of that, the American people already knows what’s best for America and it’s clear that this president doesn’t give a shit what we think. He only does what HE thinks is best for America and not us.

Now this asshole wants to take control of our internet by making it “Free and open”, “faster broadband” and free community college? What a freakin’ joke and it’s all communism all the way. The president shouldn’t take control of the internet and college anyways.

Obama’s message last night is just more proof that he wants to do nothing but destroy America. He’s following the works of Saul Alinsky and his ideas. Wake up, America! He should have been impeached and thrown in jail, not giving another SOTU speech. All he did was lie his head off throughout the whole thing as I predicted. How many times he has said, “fastest growing economy” which you know is a lie? How many times has he said, “veto” when the GOP are planning to challenge him on something?

How can you tell when Obama is lying? Watch his mouth. His lips moves every time. When people lie, their lips moves ’cause they’re nervous of getting caught.

If you think Obama is gonna raise taxes on the rich and give to the poor is gonna help, Robin Hood style, you’re delusional.

I also loved it when Obummer said this:

A better politics is one where we debate without demonizing each other; where we talk issues, and values, and principles, and facts, rather than “gotcha” moments, or trivial gaffes, or fake controversies that have nothing to do with people’s daily lives.

I think he’s referring to all the crimes and crazy scandals that he started like Benghazi, Operation: F&F, NSA, IRS, the VA scandals, etc. He didn’t bring up any of that stuff but you can tell that this is his response to all of that. He knows that the GOP is trying to get him over these controversies and “scandals” and this is his way of telling them to “back off”. You think the GOP is gonna listen to him? Obama should be investigated for his actions.

As Americans, we respect human dignity, even when we’re threatened, which is why I’ve prohibited torture, and worked to make sure our use of new technology like drones is properly constrained. It’s why we speak out against the deplorable anti-Semitism that has resurfaced in certain parts of the world. It’s why we continue to reject offensive stereotypes of Muslims — the vast majority of whom share our commitment to peace. That’s why we defend free speech, and advocate for political prisoners, and condemn the persecution of women, or religious minorities, or people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. We do these things not only because they’re right, but because they make us safer.

Look how many times he has said, “gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender”. What’s his obsession with the gay community now when in the past, he seemed to be totally against that stuff? Just a reminder, he used to be against “gay marriage” up until 2012. Before 2012, Obama was silent on all of this gay stuff and now he’s all over it.

He also brought up Muslims once during the speech but refused to mention the Paris attacks and refused to mention “radical Islam” as I predicted. What he said above is just more proof that he’s a Muslim sympathizer, y’all.

What about when Obummer said this:

“No foreign nation, no hacker, should be able to shut down our networks, steal our trade secrets, or invade the privacy of American families, especially our kids. We are making sure our government integrates intelligence to combat cyber threats, just as we have done to combat terrorism. And tonight, I urge this Congress to finally pass the legislation we need to better meet the evolving threat of cyber-attacks, combat identity theft, and protect our children’s information. If we don’t act, we’ll leave our nation and our economy vulnerable. If we do, we can continue to protect the technologies that have unleashed untold opportunities for people around the globe.”

What does Obummer know about invading the privacy of American families? He shouldn’t be saying that when he spied on Americans through news journalists such as Sharyl Attkisson, James Rosen and Associated Press reporters. What about spying on Americans through the NSA? Spying on Americans through the internet and cell phones? What does Obummer know about invading privacy when he does the same exact thing? Hypocrite Obummer, nothing new here…. when will it get proven that Obama spying on people will be against the law? When will the Patriot Act finally get proven to be illegal?

Also, don’t buy it that Obummer said he had no more “campaigns” to run ’cause he could keep his presidency going by declaring “martial law” if he wanted.

Anybody who didn’t pick up on Obama’s lies and bullshit is probably a low-information voter who voted him twice.

Obummer’s speech went on for over an hour last night. It was pretty long and boring like they all usually are. I just watched it ’cause I was curious of how a GOP Congress was going to respond to him.

That’s all for my thoughts on the SOTU last night. Enjoy!

Obama got heckled by GOP last night just as I predicted…

Obama got laughed at for saying that he had no more campaigns to run. The GOP was laughing at him, not with him. Obama knows it as you can see ’cause he just responded with this smartass idiotic comment, “I know because I won both of them” like the egomaniac that he is. I think he just proved how much of an egomaniac piece of shit he was last night.

Yeah, I did watch the SOTU last night and it was nothing but Marxist-Leninism and Saul Alinsky all the way through aka communism. I’m about to give my brief thoughts on the SOTU a little later.

I want to get the new Bjork album…

The new Bjork album “Vulnicura” is finally out and I’m probably gonna end up getting it soon! This is her follow up album from her 2011 album, “Biophelia” (which I also have and a very good album). I love Bjork, have been a fan since 1993. I don’t have all of her albums, though. Just a couple of them. I only have: “Vespertine”, “Medulla”, “Biophelia” and her remix album, “Telegram”.

I used to have her first album, “Debut” on CD a long time ago but I don’t know what happened to it. I’ll get that album again through Itunes at some point. I would like to collect the rest of her music.

Yeah, I’m mostly into hard rock and metal… that’s my preferred genre but I’ll listen to a little bit of everything else like always. It’s okay to listen to a little bit of pop music, ya know? Ya gotta listen to other things other than your preferred genre. I listen to all types of music except for country and classical.

Bjork’s new album “Vulnicura” was originally supposed to be released in the Spring but it’s getting released this week due to the album leak. Bjork is awesome. I loved her for a long time and still do! Can’t wait to hear the new album!

Johnny Depp finally calls it, he says actors who use their fame to start music careers is pretty sickening and I agree!!!

I’ve always wondered why people stayed so silent on this. Actors who appears to be musicians using the movie industry just to get into the music industry. Johnny Depp finally calls it! This always bothered me too.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/johnny-depp-actors-making-music-764820?utm_source=facebook

There are WWAAAAaaayyyyy too many actors who have used their movie career to get into the music industry. Lets list them all shall we??? We have: Russell Crowe, Jared Leto, Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal, Kevin Bacon, Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Costner, Jeff Bridges, Ryan Gosling, William Shatner, etc. This list is pretty endless.

I think it’s safe to say that if it weren’t for their movie careers, they would have never gotten record deals.

Before anyone calls Johnny a hypocrite, Johnny is not a full time musician. He has never released albums on his own like all those actors I listed above. He was never in the music business full time. He did play in the band called, The Kids but that was before his fame, I think. They weren’t really a big band anyway.

I’m glad Johnny finally called this out!!! \m/

Justin Bieber to get roasted on Comedy Central’s “The Roast”…

Like most, I’m not a fan of Justin Bieber but I’m probably gonna watch this. Justin Bieber finally gonna get roasted on Comedy Central by other comedians, actors and celebrities.

Do you think Biebs could handle this? The comedians aren’t gonna be so kind to him for sure. All the comedians are probably gonna insult him and make fun of him the whole time. He’s gonna face a lot of harsh criticism about his hard partying, drinking alcohol, smoking weed, girls and all that stuff. Somebody’s gonna bring up Biebs getting carried on the Great Wall of China, remember that?

It could be a good show and funny as hell. I’m sure Comedy Central is happy as hell that they finally got him. This is gonna be a ratings boost for sure.

Sting is probably gonna win the Royal Rumble this Sunday…

Sting the legendary WCW/TNA star just made his RAW debut last night. Yeah, I watched WWE RAW and it was surprisingly a really good show! All the way through! Yeah, the Road to Wrestlemania begins. The Royal Rumble is this Sunday and I think Sting is gonna win the 30 Man Royal Rumble matchup. That’s why I think Sting appeared at the end of RAW last night so the WWE can let fans know that Sting is gonna be a part of the Rumble. Sting is probably gonna make a Rumble entrant.

Yeah, I took a really long break from watching WWE but I’ve just gotten back into it. Started watching again last week. I usually start watching again around Wrestlemania time.

Will I watch the Royal Rumble this Sunday? Probably not ’cause it’s gonna turn out to be not a very good PPV. The Royal Rumble ppvs haven’t been that great for the last several years.

Sting is probably gonna win the Rumble this Sunday so he can headline Wrestlemania for his last match. It’s probably gonna end up being Sting vs. Triple H as the headlining main event at this years ‘Mania.

Yeah, I’m a big time wrestling fanatic and geek. I don’t feel ashamed of it and I’ll never grew out of it. I will always love professional wrestling ’til the day I die. I respect the wrestlers and the business. They work hard for what they do by entertaining fans and I respect them for that. Love ’em or hate ’em, they work very hard.

I just don’t like where WWE is going with their product and want them to get better. Bring back the good wrestling and good storylines. Like everybody else, I’m tired of the WWE shoving John Cena in our faces. That’s another reason I take breaks from WWE from time to time.
