Former Special Forces Commander to Hagel: Don’t Wait for Book Deal--Tell Truth Now

CNS News
... "The American people deserve and have a right to hear the truth about the damage the President's policies have inflicted on the military. We can't wait any longer to restore the readiness of our military. Our national security depends upon it.

"The reluctance of the current Joint Chiefs of Staff to resist damaging policies is having a devastating impact on military readiness and consequently national security. Programmed cuts in the military budget as well as cuts resulting from sequestration are reducing America's readiness to a dangerously low level. From personnel to major weapons systems, military leaders and defense analysts alike agree we are placing our national security on a dangerous footing. It's time for senior military leaders to go public with their objections even if it results in their resignation or termination." ...

"On Monday, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch announced that Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson will not be indicted for the shooting death of Michael Brown. The decision sparked anger and riots in Ferguson, with a number of people expressing their desire to kill white people on Twitter.

" 'Let's kill all the white people," one person said. "[K]ill all white people," another person added.
A number of other people expressed the same sentiment. "Let's just kill all white people. We are long overdue for oppression," said Twitter user "Simon."

" ' 'I think we should kill all white people," another person added. "I'm just throwing it out there."
"Seasons greetings to all, except white people," said another Twitter user. "Kill all white people.' "...

Conservative Blogger Tries to Prove ‘Violent Streak’ with Michael Brown’s Photos
He writes:
In stark contrast to the “gentle giant” portrayed in the national media Brown’s social media accounts reveal a misogynistic young man obsessed with drugs, money, and violence. He described his interest in “money, weed, and weather” on his Instagram.
Brown’s Instagram account also shows a violent streak that may help explain what led to a violent confrontation with Police officer Darren Wilson. “I’m Out Here To Claim What’s Mines,” Brown wrote on his Instagram profile. Brown’s bio included the eery line, “My Hands My Ammunition,” a statement made all the more creepy given his participation in a strong arm robbery.
 
 

Alan Caruba: Racism Can Be White or Black

Warning Signs
 
... "The “demonstrators” and “protesters” in Ferguson are a disgrace. They have put hard working, law abiding blacks at risk of being lumped in with their behavior. That, regrettably, is how racism works.
"If, however, you want to exploit the incident, you send the U.S. Attorney General to Ferguson to stir up the black racism that exists and you have the Department of Justice conduct both civil and criminal investigations.

"If you want to exploit the incident, you have the Attorney General participate in planting a tree last Monday in the memory of Emmett Till, a teenager who was murdered in 1955 by white bigots and have him speak of young black men "who died senselessly," but Michael Brown died as the result of an assault on a police officer." ...
 
 

How Obama Dumped Hagel (UPDATED)

Politico  He ‘just wasn’t the man for the job,’ president concluded.
 


"When President Obama first summoned Chuck Hagel to the Oval Office in October, he wanted to know how his Pentagon chief planned to cope with the dangerous new threat posed by the Islamic State that had drawn the reluctant president back into war in the Middle East, not to mention getting a sense of Hagel’s other plans for the final two years of Obama’s presidency.

"But after several lackluster, low-energy sessions, Obama was so unimpressed by the performance of his laconic, self-effacing defense secretary that he decided Hagel “just wasn’t the man for the job,” according to a senior administration official. That set in motion the decision that led to Hagel’s decorous dumping on Monday by a president who almost never fires anybody—and never admits it when he does." 
...
" ... he dashed off an uncharacteristically sharp memo to National Security Adviser Susan Rice slamming the administration’s Syria policy as rudderless and ill-defined."

" ... few expect his departure to solve the deeper problems plaguing Obama’s national security team given the iron grip exerted on foreign policymaking by Obama’s West Wing staff.
... "But Hagel’s main gripe, according to people close to him, was what he viewed as a disorganized National Security Council run by Ricea criticism shared by McDonough, according to a senior administration official."  Read more:


Defense Secretary Hagel fired  "Obama couldn't fire Kerry.  He's a liberal Democrat who's very popular with Dems on the Hill.  Hagel, on the other hand, had outgrown his usefulness.  He had zero credibility with both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, making him the perfect fall guy for Obama's incompetence.

"The world is going to hell largely because of a lack of American leadership on a wide variety(SP) of issues.  Obama should stop casting about for goats and look in a mirror to discover the reason for his failures."

Obama relishes his immigration order

If he walks like an emperor, if he talks like an emperor, if he rules like an emperor.......well...

Video: WH Reporter Asks If Obama Thinks He’s ‘the Emperor of the United States’
 
WH Reporter Asks If Obama Thinks He’s ‘the Emperor of the United States’  “ 'Because [Obama] was asked very specifically about the idea of expanding the deferred action executive order for the DREAMers to their parents. And he said September 17th last year on Telemundo, very clearly: ‘If we start broadening that, then essentially I would be ignoring the law in a way that would be very difficult to defend so that is not an option. Is that still off the table?” asked Karl

"Karl: “When the President said specifically that expanding the DACA executive order is not an option because it would be ignoring the law. Does he still believe that?”

“ 'Well Jon, I don’t want to get ahead of – what – any sort of announcements that the President might make, before the end of the year, about executive actions that he may take to fix our broken immigration system. Since [the Telemundo] interview aired, the President did direct the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a review of the law to determine what, if any, authority he could use to try to fix some of the problems that House Republicans have refused to address. SO this is something that has been under consideration for a long time…”
...

"Karl: “But I’m not asking about the options, I’m just saying: Does the President still stand by what he said in that interview in September last year?”

“ 'Well, Jon, obviously there are some things that have changed,” Earnest fumbled.

“ 'So no,” said Karl." ....

Here’s How to Stop Obama’s Amnesty Order  ... "Savage told his listeners the new Republican-majority Congress has a weapon at its disposal, if it only is willing to deploy it.

“ 'If the executive order is based on a statute, Congress can change the statute, thereby nullifying the order,” Savage said.

“ 'Come January, the first day – instead of all the ceremony – call [Congress] back in session, go to power, go to the mats and change the statute. Day One,” he told his “Savage Nation” audience Thursday.
 
"He noted that the only instance in which Congress could not nullify an order is if the president is acting according to an exclusive power granted to him by the Constitution." ...

Obama Met With Ferguson Protesters in Secret, Wants Them to ‘Stay on Course’

Defund.com  "The New York Times hid this in the 21st paragraph of their report:
But leaders here say that is the nature of a movement that has taken place, in part, on social media and that does not match an earlier-era protest structure where a single, outspoken leader might have led the way. “This is not your momma’s civil rights movement,” said Ashley Yates, a leader of Millennial Activists United. “This is a movement where you have several difference voices, different people. The person in charge is really — the people. But the message from everyone is the same: Stop killing us.”
