Is it just me or does something just smell fishy around here??

So I began thinking about the chronological order of things today. Just 100 days after President Obama takes office he directs the Attorney General to open an investigation on Sherrif Joe Arpaio(who heads up the Cold Case Posse). This investigation has been ongoing for years. Nothing has been found yet.

A few weeks before the GOP Convention Donald Trump was parroting about something really big that was going to come up during the convention. He said he couldn't divulge the information now but it would come out during the convention.

Well, the convention came and went. Nothing came up and Mitt Romney gave his speech, the convention was closed Thursday night.

Friday evening document dump time came and the Attorney General's Office puts out a paper to the effect that the investigation of Joe Arpaio has been closed.

Is there a connection here. Perhaps a little dealing between Trump/Arpaio and the Administration. Did Arpaio/Trump find something and the deal was to bury it and the Adnistration would drop the investigation? It just doesn't make sense.

I know Donald likes to build everybody up about something that normally turns out to be small fries but he has always released something, even if it didn't meet our expectations. This time we get crickets from the media, both Liberal and Conservative about this as well as Trump.

Am I reading too much into this??

Just heard Mark Levin say that as he was watching the convention, they showed a Biden and Trump standing with their arms around each other. Hmmmm..... THE Donald playing to the dark side??

Trump is about Trump. Period. Politically, he stands for nothing. He’s been on all sides of the fence. He’s chummy with Democrats, yet claims to be a conservative when it suits him. If Trump could get more long term attention (and make more money) from declaring he was just joking about the birther stuff as a ruse to prove the Republican party was somehow racist, he would. Why anyone takes this guy seriously is a mystery to me. Trump is about nothing more than building the Trump brand.

When it smells fishy, it is not just.

I don’t think the good sheriff is about making deals. We did hear something about “proof positive” on Indonesian citizenship a few weeks ago, nothing has come from it though. I think Romney would be inclined to have his convention and move along. Let Trump drop bombs in Oct.

Your example is an excellent example how we are being gamed by both sides, in our face, with regularity, because it works on dupes every time it’s tried.

In these times, where black is white, right is wrong, up is down.....The anti-christ is not so far away....if not already here.

The “fight” has just begun. Start reading your Bibles, if you haven't begun to already do so. The TIME has begun.

I truly thought we could change things around...being a stupid human, yes I did.

But He knew better. I still believe we can lesson the destruction coming.

Talk to people. Try to get them on His side. It seems to be our only salvation.

In my own little personal insignificant life, I try to convince those...and fight against the evil penetrating our lives.

Not such an easy task. I have my own demons in which I am trying to send back to hell...which ALL of us does.

Aug. 26,2012

Mitt Romney said on Friday in his native state of Michigan that, “No one has ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.” The Republican presidential candidate insisted afterwards that it was just a joke. That didn’t stop Obama campaign manager Jim Messina from immediately used the comment in a fundraising appeal, calling it “a new low for Mitt Romney.”

“That wasn’t a low at all,” the real estate mogul told me in a sit-down interview on Sunday in Sarasota. “The low was when they accused Gov. Romney of essentially murder, when they called him a felon. Those are the lows. What he said is not a low at all.”

Mr. Trump said that more will come out about the legitimacy of Mr. Obama’s birth in the weeks and months leading up to the election. The Constitution says that only native-born Americans can be president. Mr. Trump cited polls showing that, “A tremendous amount of people believe there is certainly a validity to it.”

Dang, way to throw Sheriff Joe under the bus. It is my understanding from news reports that they dropped the criminal charges because they can’t prove Sheriff Joe did anything wrong. They probably thought it unwise to continue the harassment this close to the election.

Sheesh.

By the way, they are still continuing to harass Sheriff Joe with civil suits. See link below.

In my opinion, Trump is Trump. He’s in it for himself. Take him for what he is worth.

” - - - the Attorney General’s Office puts out a paper to the effect that the investigation of Joe Arpaio has been closed.”

The key phrase is “ - - - to the effect - - - .” These are the words of Lawyers, FEDERAL Lawyers, the lowest form of life known to Mankind - - - .

Nothing has been officially closed. Suspended, maybe, for now - - - .

Amen!

"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." (Malachi 3:16,17)

NO

Althogh I wouldn’t trust Trump - he’s a fence jumper, Joe A. would not fold, most especially to O’bummer.

Towards the end of this month, there is scheduled a meeting of the posse, and MANY others, so many that it will be held in the theater - regarding what they have.

Maybe THAT has more of a connection to the story going ‘round that the O’bummer’s abode in Chi-town in for sale and they are looking at a $35 million house in Hawaii - with a move in date planned for jan, 2013.

Who might be chasing who out of town?.

Those in the know, know what to know when to know and when you know what you know you don’t talk about what you know if you are in the know. Known knowns are knowns, and if you know then you have insight into the known knowns and we want the known knowns known but sometimes knowing the known knowns takes timing to let the known knowns known.

Make sense?

The only thing fishy to me is Romney dancing around the outskirts of the birth certificate issue to pick up a few voters when we all know he really isn’t concerned about it.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Today there are reports that DNC lawyers have been warned by “Judicial Watch” that any Democrat certifying Obama’s eligibility at the state level could later be brought up on fraud charges. There are “maneuverings” going on in the back ground and people are getting “tetchy.”
