In about 10 hours local time, (Eastern Time United States), 2014 will end and 2015 will begin. Additionally, I will be out of a job. Not how I planned on ringing in the new year.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It has been a very eventful year, and not in a good way. We have seen how Barack Obama has completely wrecked the reputation of the United States, caved in to every dictator around the world and thanks to him, Islamic terrorism is back with a vengeance.<\/p>\n<p>The economic situation is confused at best, with Wall street totally out of touch with what the real economic situation is. We have reports that the economy is growing by leaps and bounds, but no one is actually seeing it. More people then ever have simply given up looking for a job and almost half the population is on some form of welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Politically, the Republicans destroyed the Democrats in the midterm elections, and are on course to utterly throw away their victory. Thanks to Obama, Holder and their, for lack of a better term, outright racist activities, we are seeing the beginnings of a race war in this country. We have also seen how they and their friends, such as Al Sharpton and Mayor Bill Di Blasio, have used the deaths of two people by police, Michael Brown and Eric Garner, to set back relations between the American people by decades, with police now coming under direct attack from the \u201cAfrican-American\u201d community.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve written my opinions on the deaths, saying that Brown got what he deserved and that there was serious issues with how Garner was manhandled by the NYPD. I see no need to go into it here. I also do not consider the rioters and vermin involved in all these events to be part of the \u201cAfrican-American\u201d community. I consider them trash that should be taken out and disposed of.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Occupy-Pavement-copy.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5739\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Occupy-Pavement-copy-300x239.jpg?resize=300%2C239\" alt=\"Occupy-Pavement-copy\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Occupy-Pavement-copy.jpg?resize=300%2C239&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Occupy-Pavement-copy.jpg?resize=150%2C119&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Occupy-Pavement-copy.jpg?resize=400%2C318&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Occupy-Pavement-copy.jpg?w=498&amp;ssl=1 498w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We also saw Barack Obama basically throw the constitution, the separation of powers and the rule of law right out the window as he has, for all intents and purposes, assumed dictatorial control of the United States.

Two of Malaysia Air\u2019s went down this year, one still missing and with no real clues as to what happened, and the other shot down by \u201cUkrainian rebels,\u201d (More then likely Russians), over the Ukraine. And just this week another airliner from AirAsia was lost in bad weather. The wreckage has been found and recovery operations are now under way.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, 2014 was not a great year for most people. I know it wasn\u2019t a good one for me. As to 2015, I hope to have a new job as soon as possible. For Congress, the new members will be taking office in a few days, and hopefully begin a full court press against the Tyrant Obama. There has been talk of a challenge against John Boehner\u2019s speakership, and I hope it comes off. He has proven himself to be utterly out of touch with Americans, and is an even bigger cave in artist then Obama.

Her boss didn\u2019t know who I was and I kept it that way. When I saw Mrs. Webmaster after work, I told her that I had seen her boss and then made a face that matcher the look her boss had when I saw her.

The champagne is cooling down in the fridge and we will be bringing in the new year with friends and family. We hope that all of you take care, and if you are out and about, please drive safely and if you are going to partake of large quantities of celebratory adult beverages, that you will not drive under the influence.
