PREPARING FOR THE NOBAMA FUTURE
Looks like no one will be able to recognize Zero's political hit man, David Axelrod, after next week, as he'll be shaving off his mustache. The Nightmare of Zero will soon be over. It's time to start thinking about and preparing for the coming Nobama Future. You can start preparing for the Nobama Future right this very moment by reading Joel Wade's Rat Brain. Joel describes it: "The feeling sense - the sensation in your body of stress and anxiety when you feel the urge to check the polls, or linger too long surfing the web for hopeful news stories; coupled with the anticipation of relief or reward when you find some good news, and a great compulsion to go toward that reward - is your rat brain at work." Is this you? I confess - it sure is me. With four days to go until America's fate is decided, my rat brain is in hyper-drive. Joel's advice on how to handle this comes just in time, and I'm taking it to heart. I'm ordering my dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to tell my rat brain to shut up - as it understands that Romney is going to win going away. So - the next thing to do in preparing for the Nobama Future is making sure you'll be at the TTP Victory Rendezvous next weekend (Nov. 09-11). We have added a number of extraordinary speakers (see below). One thing we'll be focusing on at RXIII is the dreaded Transition - the 76 days between Election and Inauguration Days, an enormously long time during which Zero could engage in a gargantuan amount of mischief and revenge. What damage could he do?
RAT BRAIN
No, this isn't a rant about Joe Biden's intellect. In fact, if not for the nerve-wracking elections coming up next week, I wouldn't be making a political allusion at all. But I do want you to notice, right now, how you feel when you think about the political situation. If you're feeling anxious, and anticipating a great relief if things go our way, that is of course reasonable and logical, given the stakes. But the feeling sense - the sensation in your body of stress and anxiety when you feel the urge to check the polls, or linger too long surfing the web for hopeful news stories; coupled with the anticipation of relief or reward when you find some good news, and a great compulsion to go toward that reward - is your rat brain at work. Here's how you can be in control of your rat brain, rather than it being in control of you.
IS PRESIDENT OBAMA AN ACCOMPLICE TO MURDER?
At the time he and Glen Doherty were killed by a mortar round some seven hours after the assault on the consulate began, Tyrone Woods was shining a ground laser designator on the mortar position. The former Navy SEAL wouldn't have done that unless he were "painting" a target for an aircraft, because if the terrorists had cell phones with night vision capabilities, they could see the laser beam, and trace it back to his location. Mr. Woods' repeated requests for military assistance were turned down, according to "sources who were on the ground in Benghazi," Fox News reported Friday (10/26). Whoever did so could be accomplices to the muder of Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, diplomat Sean Smith, and Ambassador Chris Stevens.
SHALE SHOCK: AMERICAN RESURGENCE AND EUROPEAN SUICIDE
The wonders of US shale gas continue to amaze. We receive fresh evidence by the day that swathes of American industry have acquired a massive and lasting advantage in energy costs over global rivals, demolishing assumptions about US economic decline. Some fifty new projects have been unveiled in the US petrochemical industry. A $30bn investment blitz in underway in ethelyne and fetilizer plants alone. This is happening just as other clusters of manufacturing - machinery, electrical products, transport equipment, furniture, etc - are "re-shoring" back from China to the US. A 16% annual rise in Chinese wages over the last decade has changed the game. PricewaterhouseCoopers calls it the "Homecoming: Why a resurgence in US manufacturing may be the next big bet." The revival of the chemical industry is a spin-off from the greater drama of America's energy rebound, though a very big one. The US Energy Department announced last week that the country will produce 11.4m barrels a day (b/d) of oil, biofuels, and liquid hydrocarbons next year, almost as much as Saudi Arabia. This is largely due to hydraulic fracturing - blasting rock with water jets - to extract shale gas and oil. Europe is going in the opposite direction, drifting towards energy suicide. So is Japan.
OBAMA’S COMING GOVERNMENT REGULATORY TSUNAMI
Knowledgeable officials are expecting a regulatory tsunami after the election. By law, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is required to publish a report each April and October about new regulations that government agencies are considering. OMB failed to publish the April report. The question is why -- what is Obama's OMB hiding? Given the highly political behavior of the Obama White House, it is not unreasonable to suspect that because of the failure to give notice of impending regulations and the backlog of regulations under review, there will be a tidal wave of new "midnight" regulations immediately after the election. It also is reasonable to suspect that many of the regulations may be politically unpopular and do great economic damage. If Mitt Romney wins, he may be able to pull back many of those regulations, but if Mr. Obama wins, given his rhetoric and previous behavior, a torrent of new regulations is likely.
HALF-FULL REPORT 10/26/12
Red Rocks Amphitheatre, October 23, 2012. Remember the place and date, for history may record them as where and when America's spiritual rebirth began. What happened here is simply astounding. There is an eyewitness account of it that made me cry. I'd like to ask you to take a moment to read Mitt Romney's Quiet Prayer Amidst the Sound of Thunder... ...From the sublime to the absurdly disgusting. Zero's latest official campaign ad, released yesterday (10/25), is a TV Bimbo comparing a girl's losing her virginity to voting for Zero. Brietbart's Ben Shapiro has the video + transcript and appropriate comment. Zero is sinking into the depths of desperation. You wonder how much further he'll sink over the next 11 days.... ...So as he sinks and it looks better for Romney-Ryan by the day, let's move to where a number of TTPers want to go: the Senate.
TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL ABBOTT’S LETTER TO HILLARY CLINTON
October 25, 2012 The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, D.C. 20520 Dear Madam Secretary: Yesterday you received a letter from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) asking that the U.S. Department of State take steps to ensure the OSCE's election observers are not "restrained in their activities" while in the State of Texas. It appears that OSCE is under the misimpression that the State Department can somehow help its representatives circumvent the Texas Election Code. Texas law prohibits unauthorized persons from entering a polling place-or loitering within 100 feet of a polling place's entrance-on Election Day. OSCE monitors are expected to follow that law like everyone else.
WHERE’S THE F-WORD?
Conservatives quite rightly denounce our culture's continual descent into degradation. Nowhere is this more evident than in the crudity of public discourse. The omnipresence of four-letter words in music, movies, books, magazines, websites, cable television, and every other form of public and private discourse is inescapable. Today, we learned that our current President of the United States has sunk to such a level of complete lack of class that he not only described his opponent, Mitt Romney, with gutter language, he put it in the mouth of a six-year old girl. We'll have a president with class soon, for whom gutter language is anathema. Note that the New York Times pokes fun at this, and dreams of dragging Mr. Romney "linguistically into the 21st century." No, sorry, libs, Romney is going to drag America's culture back into decency. However, there is a four-letter word that Mitt refused to utter in his debates with Zero, and it is a real shame he didn't, especially in the third debate last Monday (10/22) when it would have been particularly apt. It is the F-word as it applies to Zero's presidency in general and his foreign policy specifically. That word is...
THE THREE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
The Navy needs more ships, Mitt Romney said in Monday's (10/22) debate. It has fewer now than in 1916. Barack Hussein Obama pounced. "Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed," he said, his voice dripping with contempt. In the spin room, journalists laughed and applauded. Liberals imagine themselves to be intellectually and morally superior to conservatives. They stopped laughing when they realized how the Navy and shipbuilding are very important in southeast Virginia. With his wisecrack, the president kissed the state goodbye. It isn't just in Virginia where Mr. Obama's fortunes are plummeting. When Missouri isn't a swing state, but Minnesota is, Democrats are in trouble, big time. It's hard to see now how the president can mount a comeback. So what are those three beautiful words?
TRAINING FOR WHAT YOU WANT
Last week I asked you to define three things: Something you want to stop doing; something you want to start doing - or do more of; and a longer term goal that you want to reach. Today I want to give you the beginning of a training regimen that will strengthen your ability to achieve those three things (also largely courtesy of Kelly McGonigal from her book, The Willpower Instinct). Whenever you strengthen your capacity for willpower in a specific way, you strengthen your capacity for willpower in general. Since there are three different applications of willpower, reflected in three different parts of your brain, let's practice strengthening each of these.
