| US pop legend Tina Turner, who has been living in Switzerland since 1995, will soon receive Swiss citizenship and will give up her US passport, Swiss media reported Friday. "I´m very happy in Switzerland and I feel at home here. ... I cannot imagine a better place to live," Turner told German language daily Blick. Turner, 73, who was born Anna Mae Bullock, lives in picturesque town of Kuesnacht, on the shores of Lake Zurich in northern Switzerland, and has passed a local civics test and interview, according to an official announcement published in the Zuerichsee-Zeitung daily.

Swiss cheese, redefined.
Lame, I know. Sorry. I actually don´t have much of a problem with Tina; she seems to have made lemonaid out of the king of lemons, if you get my drift. Some of those 80´s tunes were really bad, though.
I drank a couple pitchers with Ike´s other ex several years ago in San Diego. She was there doing a blues thing, and I was just hangin´ around...

Having been married to a real creep, I suspect she knows the score with Obama, and I can´t blame her for wanting to live a quiet life after all she went through with that pig ex of hers. Until we hear otherwise, I think we can give Tina a break here. She is a decent lady.

My son is closed to giving up his citizenship, as well. As a young man, brought up with liberal education of "one-worldness (despite my efforts the other way), he is a fiscal/mostly social conservative but he doesn´t see the advantage of allowing one country to take more than half of his earnings when another country, which he enjoys as well, will let him keep the fruit of his labor.
As with any dysfunctional relationship, sometimes you can love the other entity, but not be able to be in a relationship with it.
It is breaking my heart, but I don´t blame him. I blame the socialist country my beloved country has become.

Becoming Swiss takes a lot of money, so I understand, which is why it´s probably a great place to live. If I had the money I would seriously consider repatriating there. I´m sick and tired of the smothering bossiness that is the US (and most states) government.

How I hate to write this, but here goes...
Tina Turner is getting out of the U.S. while she still can. It´s only a matter of time - and sooner than you might think as our government quickly runs out of money - before the IRS and other agencies of the U.S. Government impose economic repression on American citizens. Then, no one will be able to move wealth out of this country.
The IRS is already bullying banks in countries around the world, forcing them to act as de facto IRS revenue agents. It has already become very, very difficult for Americans to open bank accounts overseas, even ex-pats who own businesses. This is happening right now. Wait five years, if you dare, and you´ll be stuck in Obama´s America.

All rich liberals may flee the United States when they realize the ugly truth about liberalism: that it´s about taking the money of those who earned it and giving it to the ones who haven´t earned it. It´s a very simple equation, actually.

Tina has every right to become a citizen of the country that she obviously loves. More power to her. I wish many pseudo americans would do the same. Michael Moore, Alec Baldwin and anyone else who thinks there are better places to live can move there as fast as possible. I´m sure America can stand the loss.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said his country has "gone nuclear" and ordered officials to "speedily" launch five more reactors. Ahmadinejad was speaking at a ceremony to mark Nuclear Technology Day, as well as launch two uranium mines and a yellow cake production plant in the city of Yazd. The controversial president once again made clear that Iran has every right to pursue its nuclear programme, even though the western powers believe it is a covert mission to produce atomic weapons. In a veiled remark to the US, Ahmadinejad said Iran has already become a "nuclear country"

WASHINGTON — The Navy is going to sea for the first time with a laser attack weapon that has been shown in tests to disable patrol boats and blind or destroy surveillance drones. A prototype shipboard laser will be deployed on a converted amphibious transport and docking ship in the Persian Gulf, where Iranian fast-attack boats have harassed American warships and where the government in Tehran is building remotely piloted aircraft carrying surveillance pods and, someday potentially, rockets. The laser will not be operational until next year, but the announcement on Monday by Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert,

The top Republican in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, is asking the feds to investigate whether a closed campaign meeting was illegally wiretapped by his political opponents. The issue arises after the liberal outlet Mother Jones published "A recording of a private meeting between the Senate GOP leader and campaign aides." In a statement to the press, McConnell´s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, says the feds are getting involved. "Senator McConnell’s campaign is working with the FBI and has notified the local U.S. Attorney in Louisville, per FBI request, about these recordings," says Benton.

I operate by some principals I call cowboy logic. To give you a smattering of the philosophy of cowboy logic in a thumbnail sketch, I usually list these three examples: 1) 2 + 2 is always 4 2) Water never runs uphill 3) If there´s smoke, there´s a fire somewhere. (snip) No matter how much the sycophants in the media and the partial pundits tell us that the debt doesn´t matter and that the economy is making a recovery, 2 + 2 is still 4, and the numbers just don´t add up.

Amid increasingly combative rhetoric from Pyongyang, Adm. Samuel Locklear, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, said North Korea´s pursuit of nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles represents a clear threat to the United States and its allies in the region.

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.
