Obama's One Fine Mess of Potage "In the Bible, Esau sold his birthright for a mess of potage -- some red lentil soup, to be exact. Looking at the week’s events, it seems that this country has sold its glorious birthright of constitutional government by honest men and women for a mess of potage -- a false promise of hope and change delivered by a glib huckster and his shady friends. The deceit and lawlessness of Obama and those around him and the consequences have never been clearer than they were this week." . . .
Nothing shows better the unprincipled nature of the administration and the acquiescence of the media than the stories of Bowe Bergdahl, who this week was charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy, and Hillary Clinton’s destruction of her email server’s records. Both Obama and Clinton operate on the not unreasonable assumption that voters have memories no longer than a nanosecond and the complaisant press will be all too ready to help bury history. More.
Max Boot: A White House That Can’t Admit a Mistake "It is a danger in all White Houses: the longer an administration stays in office, the more detached it becomes from reality. The Obama administration is now exhibiting advanced signs of this political malady."
But sticking with a story (stories!) that doesn’t pass the laugh test does critical damage to an administration’s credibility. Full article.
Jonathan S. Tobin: The Conversation About Iran Obama Wants "Even at the 11th hour, as we may be days away from the signing of a bad deal with Iran, it is not too late for the U.S. to step back from the brink of folly. A demonstration of strength and principle on Obama’s part, however unlikely it may seem today, would be a devastating blow to Iran and perhaps actually compel them to start making concessions that might enable the president to keep his campaign promises about the nuclear threat."
Roger L Simon: Obama the Crazy Pilot "Obama and his minions are huddled wherever they’re huddled, busy destroying the Western World with their bizarre policies and eagerness to make a deal with Iran that is so desperate it makes the word pathetic seem pathetic. The results of this desperation have been wretched, a fascistic new Persian Empire emerging from Libya to Yemen . . ."
"The issue of global warming is one of several issues which currently divides America and yet it is one that can be so easily resolved. "Clearly there are two camps regarding the issue of global warming. There are the enthusiasts who see the planet literally melting away and there are the deniers who see a global attempt to redistribute wealth from western democracies in the name of global warming "There are at least two venerable and public supporters of these two positions; Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States who supports addressing global warming and an opponent of man made global warming, Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the climate contrarian Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). These two outspoken men are informed and passionate for their respective position and thus, out of respect for all Americans and in an effort to put this issue aside,they should have a widely publicized national debate." . . .
Climate change deniers should be punished, Al Gore has said, adding that
politicians in particular should be made to pay a price for rejecting
“accepted science”. He stopped short of suggesting what that punishment
might be.
"Getting a hand on Climate Crisis, Inc.’s fear and money machine is not
easy – and few people understand just how enormous, interlocking and
self-perpetuating it is. My article this week presents an overview that
will hopefully begin opening people’s eyes. It summarizes the six
strategies the alarmist industry is using to advance its agenda and
protect its access to tens of billions in taxpayer and consumer dollars:
climate research, renewable energy research and implementation,
regulatory fiats, a new UN climate treaty, vicious attacks on anyone who
contests climate chaos claims, and thought control in every venue of
possible debate." . . .
" Carl Higbie, former U.S. Navy SEAL and author of “Battle on the Home Front,” joined Steve Malzberg to discuss his take on the Bowe Bergdahl fallout as well as the latest from the battle against ISIS.
"Higbie told Steve there are safeguards in place to assure that if you have a gripe against your commanders in the field that the Army is required to investigate the charges. So, the White House argument that Bergdahl left base to search for another unit to complain to is ridiculous. "Higbie added this on the Bowe Bergdahl investigation:
“I call on the general, right now, who is ever overseeing this to make sure this goes to trial no matter what. And if you have to disobey a direct order from the president, do it.”
"What Americans have a hard time understanding is that, for all the Iranian negotiators, the outcome of the nuclear arms deal that the United States is leading all comes down to just one man, Sayyed Ali-Khamenei, otherwise known as the Supreme Leader of Iran. "In the 21st century, it is hard to comprehend that a nation could be ruled by a man whose powers supersede that nation’s president, its civil government, its judiciary and its military. Iran has had only one other Supreme Leader since its founding in 1979, Ruhollah Khomeini who held the position until his death in 1989. The 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran overthrew the Shah in order to secure greater freedom, but the Iranians ended up more servile than before." . . .
Jeanine Pirro: America Needs To Stop Sleeping With the Enemy ((Video) "On Saturday night’s Justice, Judge Jeanine used the phrase “sleeping
with the enemy” to describe the creepy, cozy relationship between Obama
Regime and the Iranian Regime. “ 'More American blood has been spilled by Iran and the terrorism it
sponsors in the Middle East than by any other country,” Pirro stated.
“Iran says its within its rights to enrich uranium. That’s like saying a
proven mass murderer living next door to a daycare center has the right
to buy as many AK-47s as he wants. Mr. President, America needs to stop
sleeping with the enemy, dancing with the devil, and writing love
letters to those who want to kill us.' ” . . . SEE ALSO: The Weekly Standard: Iranian Defector: ‘U.S. Negotiating Team Mainly There to Speak on Iran’s Behalf’:
