Suddenly Joe Biden seems a bit more intelligent. Not much, but a bit.

Hillary’s Presidential Run: No Joke?. . . " However, on the Democratic side of the 2016 presidential cycle, things are not a laughing matter.
"Hillary Clinton’s signature has barely dried on the batch of governmental forms declaring her presidential intentions and she is already mired in further malfeasance and corruption. Remember, the political scandals of Benghazi and Server-gate (modern-day Nixonian document shredding) are not yet resolved.  Now, to add insult to injury to the body politic, comes the Clintonian financial shell game explained in “Clinton Cash” by author Peter Schweizer.  The book details the connection of Mrs. Clinton, as Obama’s first Secretary of State, bartering favorable U.S. government treatment to foreign contributors to her and Bill’s supposed “charitable” Clinton Foundation." . . .

Clinton Charity Scandal: At Least There Won’t Be an Email Trail

 Chuck Todd reveals Hillary Clinton’s media strategy
 . . . "Allowing Clinton to control the narrative—even for a second, even for a single cycle—is dangerous. If they can manage to flip the cycle with a gameday policy rollout, imagine what they’ll be able to do given more time."

Unearthed Audio: Hillary Said She’s ‘Adamantly Against Illegal Immigrants’ [AUDIO]
 . . . “ 'I am adamantly against illegal immigrants,” then-Sen. Clinton said on the John Grambling radio show in Feb. 2003.

“'Certainly we’ve got to do more at our borders,” she said, adding that, “people have to stop employing illegal immigrants.' ” Here is the audio

 John E. Sununu; Hillary Clinton’s candidacy could sink
. . . " It boils down to voters liking the candidate personally – even as a leader — but feeling that “the next president should have a different last name.” That represents a philosophical obstacle, not one of policy or personality. As such, it is a far greater problem to overcome. A recent NBC poll showed Democrats wishing to see a strong challenger to Hillary at 43 percent and rising."

 A Warm Welcome for Hillary in LA
" Good to see that someone on our side is starting to employ the same street theater tactics the left has long used.  These Hillary “air fresheners” appear at at least a dozens prominent intersections in LA a few days ago, right before Hillary arrived for a fundraiser." .  . .

 ‘Stench of Corruption': Anti-Hillary Street Art Hits L.A. Ahead of Fundraisers

 "Fake, tree-shaped car fresheners with an image of Clinton in the middle have been placed at the corners of Sunset and Amalfi, Sunset and Capri and Sunset and Allenby in the Tony Riviera section of Pacific Palisades, home to Hollywood luminaries like Ben Affleck, J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks.

"The air freshener’s caption? “Stench of Corruption.' ”

. . . "Later Thursday, Clinton will head to Beverly Hills for an early-evening $2,700 per plate fundraiser at the home of billionaire entertainment mogul Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl. Saban has been a longtime friend of Clinton, and has donated more than $10 million to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton’s presidential library. Sports agency magnate Casey Wasserman will co-host the event at Saban’s home." . . .

America’s Politicized Tax Enforcement Is a Harbinger of Decline

Victor Davis Hanson

 

. . . "Al Sharpton is again prominently in the news, blaming various groups for the Baltimore unrest. But Sharpton currently owes the U.S. government more than $3 million in back taxes, according to reports. His excuses have ranged from insufficient funds to pay them to sloppy record-keeping and mysterious fires.

"Sharpton, a frequent White House guest, apparently assumes that his community-organizing provides him political exemption from federal tax law. He seems to be right, at least as long as the current administration is in power.

"The Clinton Foundation is expected to refile its tax returns for 2010, 2011, and 2012 after failing to separate government grants from donations. If an average citizen tried to amend his taxes for such huge sums and from that long ago, he would probably be under indictment.

"News reports of undocumented donations from foreign governments caught the foundation underreporting its income. The well-connected Clinton clan apparently had assumed that their political status ensured them immunity.

"In the current political landscape, ideology also offers cover for tax noncompliance. Two of the most liberal talking heads at the MSNBC cable news network, Touré Neblett and Melissa Harris-Perry, known for their advocacy of higher tax rates on the affluent, turn out to be both quite well off and quite unwilling to pay their fair share of taxes. Reports indicate that Neblett and Harris-Perry both owe more than $50,000 in delinquent taxes." . . .

 

. . . 
 "Increasingly in the United States, the degree to which a law is enforced — or whether a person is indicted — depends on political considerations. But when citizens do not pay any income taxes, or choose not to pay taxes that they owe and expect impunity, a complex society unwinds.

"And when the law has becomes negotiable, civilization utterly collapses."

 

True Liberalism vs. Political Correctness

I have a cherished 1945 Boy Scout Handbook, passed on to me by a cousin who was once a West Point cadet. Here are two pages encouraging boys to be role models and exemplary citizens of their country.
I would ask if any out there think of this liberal standard encouraged here as being a "war on women"?

Next, are these qualities shown below considered offensive by anyone, and why?

Just asking.

Angry, old white men?

Garland shooting: Some people are sheep, others wolves. Then there are the sheepdogs...

Free Fire Zone- Kudos to the Texas Sheepdog

We call jihadis like the ones who attacked in Garland Texas Known Wolves. They were on the radar screen and somehow we failed to stop them from making their attack. But one member of our law enforcement community who didn’t fail is the officer who put down these two rabid dogs in the parking lot. His courage under fire saved countless lives and we salute him for his valiant efforts.

We call officers like him , and the many other police, fire, first responders and military personnel, who protect the rest of us, sheepdogs. They battle the wolves so that we don’t have to. This officer is a fine example of the breed. In the face of two Islamist fanatics wearing body armor and charging while firing AK 47s, he remained calm and killed them both.

So from all of us who sleep safe in our beds because rough men (and women) like you are standing watch, thank you Sir

 

Obama Sent 3 Officials to Criminal Freddie Gray’s Funeral – No One to NYPD Officer Brian Moore’s Funeral

The Gateway Pundit Friday, May 8, 2015, 8:59 AM
"Officer Brian Moore’s funeral is this morning in New York City.
Moore was shot in the head by a felon.

 "Obama sent three White House officials to criminal Freddie Gray’s funeral. How many should we expect for decorated Officer Moore’s, murdered by a criminal? CNN reported:

The White House sent Cabinet Secretary Broderick Johnson, chair of the Obama administration’s My Brother’s Keeper Task Force; Heather Foster, an adviser in the White House Office of Public Engagement; and Elias Alcantara from the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Gray also had a history of run-ins with the law. According to court documents CNN obtained, there were more than 20 criminal court cases in Maryland against Gray, and five of those cases were still active at the time of his death.

"The Obama White House sent three officials to robber Michael Brown‘s funeral in Ferguson.


"But the White House did not send any officials to Officer Brian Moore’s funeral today. New York 1 reported:" . . . Read more: here.

6 Funerals Obama Cared Less About Than Michael Brown   . . . "Which [prompts] the question: why would the Obama administration send not one but three attendees to the funeral of a strong-arm robbery suspect who allegedly punched a police officer in the face – but ignore the funerals of other, more worthy characters?

"Here are six people whose funerals the Obama administration took less seriously than Brown’s."

Operation Jade Helm? Chill.

 

This ain't Hell, but you can see it from here

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This article was written for the primarily civilian readership at American Thinker. Judging from their comments, the citizens of this nation are so distrusting of the Obama administration that they are willing to believe our military would turn its guns against them on Obama’s orders. That is very sad. I’ve been writing for American Thinker for more than a decade and never have I been so vilified as I was for this article. We live in interesting times.

 "We’ve been getting concerned e-mails from friends in Texas as to whether or not the long-ago announced and now being staged large-scale military operation, called Jade Helm and taking place in several western states, is some sort of federal testing of the ability of the Obama government to seize control of our nation and use our military forces to disarm and subjugate our citizenry.

"The short answer is no, . . .
. . .
"Another thing to ponder: there are no dummies in special operations. You have to be top tier mentally to even be considered. On a per capita basis, they probably have a far higher IQ than any other military organizations other than perhaps the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I wouldn’t bet the farm on that. Now, if you’re going to use military forces against the people and the nation they are sworn to defend, are you really going to pick as your vanguard the very warriors who possess the intellect to realize that you are asking them to violate their oaths of service? Of course not . . .

"Those of you out there feeling queasy about Jade Helm? Chill."
