Caroline Glick; When failure carries no cost

Jerusalem Post;  "Before, during and following his assault, Hasan made his jihadist motives obvious to the point of caricature in his statements about the US, the US military and the duties of pious Muslims.

"But rather than believe Hasan, and so do justice to his victims, the Obama administration, with the active collusion of senior US military commanders went to great lengths to cover up Hasan’s ideological motivations and hence the nature of his crime. On the day of the attack, Lt.-Gen. Robert Cone, then commander of III Corps at Ft. Hood, said preliminary evidence didn’t suggest that the shooting was terrorism. Cone said this even though it was immediately known that before he began shooting Hasan called out “Allahu akhbar.” He called himself a “Soldier of Islam” on his business cards."
....
On the media enablers of Obama's wavering in the face of Islamic terrorism:

The media’s collusion was so great that CNN anchor Candy Crowley threw a US presidential debate when she defended Barack Obama’s handling of the attack by inserting false information in the middle of the debate that she was moderating.

In this same wide-ranging article on the goals of radical Islam (or not) and the cowardly fecklessness of the US, Ms. Glick discusses Benghazi, US appeasement of Iran and Israel's dependence on America as an ally. She writes:

But we mustn’t believe their assurances or succumb to their pressure. Obama will not change course. He doesn’t have to. So long as he maintains faith with the god of appeasement, the US media will protect him. And so long as they protect him, he will pay no price for his failures. So he will repeat them.

Israel cannot countenance a nuclear Iran. So Israel needs to attack Iran’s nuclear installations.

Jesse Jackson Slams Conservatives For Comparing Trayvon Martin To Slain Aussie Baseball Player Chris Lane…

Facebook

Weasel Zippers   Quoting The Hill: 
"The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Thursday that conservatives are wrong to compare the Trayvon Martin case to the death of Chris Lane.
"During an interview on MSNBC, Jackson was asked whether he thinks that “some on the right are making a false equivalency” between Martin and Lane, a young white baseball player allegedly killed Friday by three black teenagers."
Just the kind of leading question someone on MSNBC would ask. Megyn Kelly or Greta Van Susteren would not have served up that cream puff to Jackson because that would not be their agenda.

On Hillary Clinton

Camille Paglia   

Salon; Camille Paglia: “It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton is our party’s best chance”
"It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party’s best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She’s certainly busy, busy and ever on the move — with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts."

 

The Hillary Hype  "My column today is on what great fun it will be if Joe Biden decides to run for president. 

...."I am increasingly convinced the Hillary inevitability talk is ridiculous (and I am at a loss as to why so many conservatives are fatalistic about a Clinton victory). As I’ve written a few times already, she’s a decidedly dull politician. Ask a normal person to watch Hillary Clinton give a speech or an interview and odds are they’ll respond, “What’s the big deal? She’s boring.”.... Jonah Goldberg

A possible far[ther]-left challenge to Hillary in 2016   "Howard Dean could easily emerge in 2016 as the far left alternative to Hillary Clinton for president in 2016."

How Hillary pulls the strings at NBC "Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters exposes the way Team Hillary is manipulating the NBC networks over the planned miniseries on her life. The planned offer of fealty turned into a disaster when Reince Priebus and the GOP stood up, cried foul and threw NBC out of contention to host 2016 presidential debates, along with CNN which planned a documentary."....

"The Clinton Machine is a marvel to behold. Stay tuned for the project to die with no Clinton fingerprints on it."

Report: NBC News Fears 'Retaliation From the Former First Lady' If Hillary Miniseries Airs   " 'It's a bit rich for Todd and Mitchell to cry foul now about their journalistic purity being contaminated by commercial and ideological considerations. As if the MSNBC lineup where Todd and Mitchell ply their trade every day is not shared with activist ideologues such as Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz.' "

 

Brit Hume: Case For Hillary Clinton "Being A Great Secretary Of State Is Exceedingly Weak"   " I think those examples you cited would add up to a case for her competence. They do not

add up to a case for greatness, after all, the groundwork on Burma had been done by the previous administration.....Has the reset with Russia, which she so famously introduced with the photo-op in Moscow with the reset button, has they lead to a new and more cooperative relationship? Is there a Clinton doctrine that we can identify that she has articulated and formed as secretary of state? Are there major treaties that she has undertaken and negotiated through to a successful conclusion? I think the answer to all those questions is that she has not."....

The Oklahoma shooter was raised by this mother.

Meet Brenda Edwards, Mother of Accused ‘Bored’ Teen Killer James Edwards  "She has three known aliases. As things stand now, her relationship with Oklahoma’s criminal justice system won’t end for several decades. Her multiple convictions include distribution of cocaine. She was in court in Duncan, OK, as recently as May 2010, when she was found to have violated her parole by obtaining prescription drugs by fraud. Her probation was revoked.
"If we’re going to blame a “culture” for James Edwards’ alleged part in Chris Lane’s murder, as some want to blame the so-called “gun culture,” shouldn’t the culture of recidivist criminality come under scrutiny?"

No mention of a father.

America the Trivial; The Kardashians and Anthony Weiner are deemed more worthy of attention than what affects the security and prosperity of our nation.

Victor Davis Hanson  "Two quite different 21st-century Americas are emerging. The nation is not so much divided by “wars” between the rich and poor, men and women, or white and non-white. Instead, there is the world of reality versus that of triviality."
....
"Yet part of America’s confusion about what is important and petty begins at the top."
