What did Obama mean when he said about Chinese President Xi, "I indicated" hacking has to stop?


Obama: "Hacking has to stop!". Another redline.

Obama: I Asked China to Stop Hacking, and They Said OK
. . . "Even the ranking Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee noted “we can’t just believe what China says.” . . .




Obama, Xi promise not to commit cyber-theft
. . . "President Obama inked a totally unenforceable agreement with China that is supposed to stop the Chinese from stealing our business secrets and attacking our power grid.

"The fact that all we have is President Xi's word on it would normally cause a lot of people to balk at such an agreement.  But our trusting president, who thinks Iran's nuclear program is in a box because of a piece of paper, seems satisfied."
. . .
"It is unavoidable that very soon, Russia or China is going to hit us hard somewhere sensitive.  It may be the internet, it may be our power grid, it may be another massive attack on a big company.  But the hacks will continue as long as we have a president who refuses to offer any deterrence for an attack, and places his childlike faith in useless agreements.

"President Xi will be laughing all the way home."



On Islam, Ben Carson is Right; Charles Krauthammer is Wrong


. . . "This conundrum comes to the fore — and not for the first time — after Dr. Krauthammer’s serial denunciations of Dr. Ben Carson. In a Sunday Meet the Press interview, Carson opined that Islam is inconsistent with the United States Constitution and, therefore, that he “would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation” — meaning he would not recommend that voters elect a Muslim president.

" Dr. K decries Dr. C’s remarks as “morally outrageous,” albeit “sincerely felt.” With Democrats in distress, the columnist fears Republicans are undermining their golden 2016 opportunity: “It is certainly damaging to any party when one of its two front-runners denigrates, however thoughtlessly, the nation’s entire Muslim American community.” But what loseth a man if he denigrates a tiny community — a large percentage of whose members are Islamists reliably aligned with Democrats — but gains the esteem of a vast political base convinced that Washington is insane on matters Muslim?" . . .

Another book on Hillary by Ed Klein; dare we believe it? Salon does not. She calls Obama "incompetent and feckless".

Hillary to Obama “Call Off Your F*^#ing Dogs” Obama: “No”
"According to a new book coming out on Monday, the recent closed door meeting between Hillary and Obama did not go well.  According to the book, during the meeting, which was requested by Hillary, she shouted at him, “Call off your f*^#ing dogs!!”  Obama told her he couldn’t and wouldn’t interfere and that the problem was of her own making by setting up and operating a private server.  The March 23rd meeting came as Hillary and her campaign was being under attack for her illegal activities.

Unlikeable“T 'here is nothing I can do for you one way or another. Things have been set in motion, and I can’t and won’t interfere. Your problems are, frankly, of your own making,”

"Clinton had requested the meeting to discuss what she described as  “minor, meaningless violations.”  One has to wonder if that conversation and Hillary’s outburst led to the FBI getting involved in the investigation and whether Loretta Lynch will intervene like Holder did for Lois Lerner.  There are reasons to believe the investigation will not go well for Hillary.  One is the FBI seizing the Clinton server and the thumb drives in the possession of her lawyer.

"There is also the fact that the FBI refused to cooperate in the investigation with the State Department, who would try to give Hillary cover and could tip her off on the investigation.  The fact that a leak allowed the press to know that the FBI had recovered her “deleted” emails is also not a good sign for Hillary.  In such a sensitive investigation, it is unlikely anyone would have leaked the information without authority to do so.
. . .
Hillary called Obama ‘incompetent and feckless’ in boozy rant
. . . “The IRS targeting the Tea Party, the Justice Department’s seizure of AP phone records and [Fox reporter] James Rosen’s e-mails — all these scandals. Obama’s allowed his hatred for his enemies to screw him the way Nixon did,” she raged, the book says, adding that she called the president “incompetent and feckless.”

The UK Mail covers this as well: The Clintons and the Obama secretly hate each other, claim's Edward Klein's latest tell-all book

Salon is pretty contemptuous of this revelation: The right’s least reputable “journalist” imagines a Hillary/Obama shouting match . . . "Of course, if these things are accurate, it has to strike you as a little odd that Ed Klein is the only “journalist” in the country who is privy to these secret and nefarious sides of these very public figures."

Follow-up on Eye Empress Sekhmet's call to murder police

First this:  Black Lives and the Death of a Culture  . . . "This isn’t about cops. It isn’t even about slavery and white privilege -– though liberals would like it to be. It’s about policies that have decimated an entire culture, made it rot from the inside out, about policies birthed in the Democrat party, in the hearts of those who value power above all. It’s no wonder that these young people are angry." . . .

Now to the main stories:
Justice! Black Activist That Calls for the Killing of Cops Denied Bail


"Latausha Nedd, who goes by the name Eye Empress Sekhmet, appeared in court on Friday to answer charges stemming from her videos calling for a war against whites and the killing of police officers.  She has denied all charges.  She apparently thinks that by putting her threats on YouTube, she exempt from criminal charges.  The judge didn’t see it her way and refused to set bail for her as he considers a threat to society.  She will remain in jail at least until next month, when she will have her next court appointment.
Here is her video entitled “Open Season”:



. . . "Words can kill.  I remember living in the New York Metro area many years ago and listening to [Democrat and MSNBC's] Rev Al Sharpton on TV threatening a “white interloper.”  A couple of days later, one of the people who participated in his protest, set fire to Freddie’s Fashion Mart, killing 8 people.  Democratic officials who needed the black vote to keep their jobs, refused to indict Sharpton for inciting to riot.

"No word on whether Nedd will be broadcasting her show from Cell Block 3."
