Obama's ISIS strategy; a rare moment of honesty
"The most solid confirmations of the military success in Iraq were the intercepted messages from al-Qaeda operatives in Iraq to their leaders in Pakistan that there was no point sending more insurgents, because they now had no chance of prevailing against American forces. This was the situation that Barack Obama inherited — and lost."

MSM nominated for "Weasel of the Week" over McKinney, TX riot coverage
Yes, once again it's time once again for the Watcher's Council's 'Weasel Of The Week' nominations, where we pick our choices to compete for the award of the famed Golden Weasel to a public figure who particularly deserves to be slimed and mocked for his or her dastardly deeds during the week. Every Tuesday morning, tune in for the Weasel of the Week nominations!
Here are this weeks' nominees....
Bahhhhd Media! Need I Say More???
Here are this weeks' nominees....
- Don Surber :ESPN. Bruce Jenner's cosmetic surgery is not worthy of a bravery award.
- The Noisy Room : Bill Maher for smearing Rush Limbaugh and offending just about everyone this week with his skit on Caitlyn Jenner.
- Ask Marion: The P5 +1 countries, the United States, Great Britain, China, Russia, France and Germany, who agreed to give Iran access to billions in revenues
Bahhhhd Media! Need I Say More???
Nice Deb: I nominate the MSM - for playing up the highly questionable racial angle behind the McKinney,TX pool fracas, while playing down - or flat out not reporting the highly relevant backstory."Well, there it is. What a despicable group of Weasels...ANY OF THEM COULD WIN! Check back Thursday to see which Weasel walks off with the statuette of shame!"
When a group of 70 to 100 unruly, disrespectful and destructive (mostly) black teens crashed an end of school pool party, residents of the event called the police who had to deal with an unruly, non-complying mob. The 14 year old was taken to the ground by an officer was not injured and the cop has already been suspended for using too much force. That should be the end of the story. But thanks to the MSM, and the racial grievance crowd, it's just getting started. The racial grievance-mongers are swooping into McKinney Texas as we speak, and the media are gleefully playing along with their racialist narrative.
Jerry Seinfeld: Politically correct college students 'don't know what the f--- they're talking about'
Entertainment Weekly
"Like Chris Rock and Larry the Cable Guy, Jerry Seinfeld avoids doing shows on college campuses. And while talking with ESPN’s Colin Cowherd on Thursday, the comedian revealed why: College kids today are too politically correct."
"Seinfeld says teens and college-aged kids don’t understand what it means to throw around certain politically-correct terms. “They just want to use these words: ‘That’s racist;’ ‘That’s sexist;’ ‘That’s prejudice,’” he said. “They don’t know what the f—k they’re talking about.”
The funnyman went on to recount a conversation he and his wife had with their 14-year-old daughter, which he believes proved his point.
“My wife says to her, ‘Well, you know, in the next couple years, I think maybe you’re going to want to be hanging around the city more on the weekends, so you can see boys,’” Seinfeld recalled. “You know what my daughter says? She says, ‘That’s sexist.’” . . .

Krauthammer says President Obama's ISIS strategy is to blame others for not having one
Cut from this video is Krauthammer's final remark saying other than that, Obama is a great president.
"At a news conference closing out the G7 summit in Germany, President Obama said the United States does not yet have a "complete strategy" to train and equip Iraqi security forces in the fight against Islamic State militants or ISIS in Iraq. The president has danced around the issue of a executing a strategy against the terror group for over nine months and some critics are saying enough is enough.
"Syndicated Columnist Charles Krauthammer told viewers on Monday's Special Report with Bret Baier that President Obama's lack of strategy for defeating the Islamic State is really to blame everyone else. President Obama said in the news conference that the Baghdad government needs to show better commitment to building a fighting force. The Iraqi prime minister has pleaded with the U.S. and coalition forces for more military and intelligence backing.
"President Obama even said he was still waiting on "finalized" plans from the Pentagon. Yet, DOD officials dispute that claim.
"Krauthammer said putting the blame on the Iraqi's or his military chiefs was just the president's way of simply not having a strategy to combat this terrorist group. The Sunnis, Krauthammer noted were abandoned by the United States and persecuted by their countrymen. "They were pursued by the central government in Iraq and Obama did not lift a finger, Krauthammer explained. He went on to ask "why should they trust America again?' "
UPDATE: President Obama's loose tether to reality
. . . "Everyone here keep the doctor they liked? Anyone's hours cut to part-time? Premiums steady? Everyone get their promised $2,500 health care savings?
"On IS, Obama admitted that nine months after announcing his hastily written strategy to "degrade and ultimately destroy" the terrorist army, "We don't yet have a complete strategy." This is Obama speaking, so of course, it's someone else's fault: The Iraqis for not being trained fast enough."
#McKinney witness say police action not motivated by racism; #BlackLivesMatter ignores
Wayne Dupree
“I want to tell people outside this community that this is not Baltimore, this is not Ferguson, it’s nothing like that,” Embry said. “My neighbors are good neighbors. We’re not racist.”
"The officer is explaining to the 2 black kids in the ground that just because everyone else was doing it doesn’t mean they should have done it…he wasn’t talking or yelling like a racist then. I think frustration just got the better of him. If you watch the video again you will see this guy in the blue reach for something.
. . . " American children have turned from respectful 2 spoiled, entitled, out of control punks who’s parents coddle entitled attitudes.
"Benet Embry, a black father and resident of McKinney is one of two who witnessed the fracas, said he did not condone Officer Casebolt’s behavior, but was convinced that the response to the party wasn’t motivated by racism.
"He spoke of a white neighbor who tried to help black kids hurt in the disturbance, but has been accused on social media as being racist and has received death threats.
Reports: Nation of Islam, New Black Panthers arrive in McKinney. More commentary.
. . . "And, Twitchy added, posting pictures from the area, members of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party "are in town." One person responded online by saying that members of the radical groups "are walking through the neighborhood right now!"
" 'That should fix everything," one person said on Twitter in response to the news. According to the far-left Think Progress, "thousands" turned out Monday to protest pool policing. But a growing number of people are coming forward to say the story being presented is not the whole truth.". . .
The Great McKinney, Texas Rorschach Ink Blot Test. . ." Those people who want to believe that police are racists eager to oppress blacks, including a substantial share of the national media, have striking visual evidence of what they see as unjust persecution of innocent little girls. For them, the conclusion is obvious. But the existing video seen by the public only captures a few minutes of a confrontation that had been developing for a few hours. Unseen are the provocations that led to the officer to take his actions." . . .Read more:Right: "The woman who organized the event in McKinney, Texas is named Tatiana Rhodes (or Tatyana Rhodes). She is approximately 19-years-old; however, she retains a fake id and has began scrubbing most of her social media accounts, so her exact age is undetermined. Update: confirmed profile DOB 04/02/1995, so Tatiana Rhodes is 20.
Report: McKinney residents receive death threats over pool party incident
. . . "According to Fox, Rev. Ronald Wright of the Justice Seekers has reportedly asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the incident. Breitbart.com said Wright was "quick to liken Texas and the passage of open carry law recently signed by Governor Abbott as being ripe for a terrorist attack not by ISIS but 'USIS,' his personal Texas political slam and was a serious stretch to the situation at hand.". . .

" Benet Embry, who hosts an internet show on Deep Ellum on Air and lives in the neighborhood, has been accused by some for being a traitor to his race after he posted to his Facebook account to push back against what he called a false media narrative that has been crafted in the wake of the incident." . . .

PLEASE HELP! That (now viral) video of the officer in McKinney subduing a girl in a bathing suit was in OUR neighborhood. The situation was NOT what is being reported…On Sunday a far left group posted the home address and phone number of McKinner(sp) officer Eric Casebolt online.
A DJ setup in a public space next to the private pool in our neighborhood on Friday and played loud explicit (F-bomb) music for multiple hours (it is unclear if he was invited by a resident as no one has claimed responsibility). The teenagers (both black and white) were being brought into our neighborhood by the carload because the DJ was tweeting out invites to a “pool party” for $15 (obviously unauthorized by our neighborhood). The teens began fighting with each other and pushing their way into our private pool. Some were jumping our fence. The security guard was accosted when he tried to stop the beginnings of this mob scene. Some residents who live around the park/pool area tried to come out and settle things down. The teens started yelling racial slurs at our neighbors and started assaulting people and property (throwing bottles at cars and attacking a mother at the pool with 3 young children). The first officer on the scene was by himself. At that time, the party had grown to a large, aggressive crowd. As the officer arrived, many teens started running through our neighborhood. Many of the teens were being very aggressive and yelling at the officers as more arrived.
This was a very dangerous situation for the officers AND the teens/residents not involved. The news media has refused to hear the neighborhood’s side of this story. The video being distributed is only a very small segment of what happened. This information being distributed by the media and others is extremely distorted and in some cases outright lies.
PLEASE HELP US STOP THE BROADCASTING OF THIS IGNORANCE. The media is trying to make it look like our neighborhood is a white’s only, racist area. Anyone who has spent even a few minutes in our area knows this is an outright LIE.
The group also threatened violence.

Post D-Day: "Beaches?! We Don't Need No Stinking Beaches!"
If I told you Obama was turning Americans into the Vichy French of the 1940s, would you know what I meant? TD
HopeNChangeCartoons
"Saturday marked the 71st anniversary of the historic D-Day invasion...which you'd think would make a pretty darn good topic for Barack Obama's weakly address (and no, that's not a typo). But instead, the president decided to harangue Americans about June being "Immigrant Heritage Month." Although to be fair, we're sure he'll give equal time to "National Border Security Month" whenever it gets here.HopeNChangeCartoons
"For those with short memories or recent public educations, back in 1944 France had a pretty serious problem with people trampling their borders, speaking a foreign language, and forcing the locals to change their politics, taxes, and culture to accommodate the newly arrived "dreamers" (so-called because they shared Adolph Hitler's "Dreams From My Fatherland"). And believe it or not, back then the United States was against that sort of thing!
"But not today. Barack Obama declared that America is actually made stronger by people who trample our borders, speak a foreign language, and are forcing us to change our politics, taxes, and culture.
And according to the president, we can't just celebrate the rich heritage of illegal immigration, "we have to defend it." Specifically, he mentioned defending it from the evil sieg-heiling Republicans whom he seems to imagine are in cliff-top bunkers mercilessly spraying down machine gun fire at the dreamers bravely storming the bloodsoaked beaches of the Rio Grande.
"And just to reinforce his not-so-subtle suggestion that Americans lack any moral authority to regulate immigration, he again spoke of Michelle and his daughters, "some of whose ancestors came here in chains." A thought so sad that it makes Hope n' Change want to send the ladies a reparation check if we can just get an address for one of the five-star luxury hotels they'll be staying in during their European vacation next week.
"Barack Obama's choice of the anniversary of D-Day to denigrate Americans and praise our nation's invaders is almost the supreme irony. And we say "almost" only because he managed to top it only 24 hours later.
"Because that's when he flew overseas to enjoy beer and sausages with the Germans."
Vichy France, the Nazis and the Holocaust: An introduction
. . . " Yet as with other matters, Vichy and German policy were not independent of each other and the regime usually went one better than the Nazis with its own policy – and without German pressure to do so. Some of Vichy’s actions made the Germans’ job easier in an obvious way: French police participated in arrests and round-ups, for example. Other Vichy actions made the task easier in indirect ways. In July 1941, for example, Vichy ordered a census of all Jews in the Unoccupied Zone. The data, though not intended to help the Germans, certainly made it easier to track down Jews as the Final Solution intensified after 1943." . . .

Being a NY Times employee prepares you for this
Former NYT Reporter: the Time for Revolution Is Nigh! ..."On Friday, Salon.com published a wide-ranging interview with “journalist” Chris Hedges, a former reporter for The New York Times who now writes for Truthdig, among others. Hedges recently spoke at a fundraiser to re-elect openly socialist Seattle City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant; now he’s calling for a full-scale socialist revolution.
"Hedges’ new book, Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt, argues, according to Salon.com, that “The world is currently at a crisis point the likes of which we’ve never really seen…a revolution is coming; we just don’t yet know when, where, how – or on whose behalf.”
"But Hedges has some ideas. Quoting the old communist Antonio Gramsci, who argued that a communist revolution would purify man’s soul, and thus bring into effect a socialist utopia, Hedges says that the world has torn down all the pre-existing cultural architecture. “[B]ut,” he adds, “we haven’t articulated something to take its place.” Hedges says that the pot is boiling for revolution, and specifically cites Ferguson and Baltimore as “sporadic uprisings,” stating that such uprisings will become more common because police kill young black folks for no reason “because it exclusively serves the interest of corporate power.”
. . . But like all good Marxists, he will be shocked – shocked! – to learn that the ideological revolutionaries that took over the White House (and have, to be sure, also read Marx and Gramsci) won’t bring a socialist utopia, but a nightmare that will put him in the crosshairs, too, should he fail to fall in line. For every Lenin, there are a million Trotskys too inconvenient to allow into the revolutionary fold."
Families of SEALs Killed After Bin Laden Raid Made This Shocking Claim About Obama
Obama’s SEAL Team 6 Coverup Sorry about the gross commercial at the start. I cannot vouch for the integrity of this video, so research the info on it and comment back to us.
. . . "When the Vaughns began trying to drain the swamp, they received what the
Obama administration is famous for: the shakedown. None other than one
of the highest ranking officers in the nation—Admiral William McRaven,
commander at U.S. Special Operations Command—paid the Vaughns a little
visit, in essence telling them to keep their mouths shut." . . .
Conservative Tribune
"Osama bin Laden, founder and head of Al Qaeda and the individual most responsible for the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 2, 2011, by U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six.
"Immediately afterwards, Americans were giddy with happiness. The members of SEAL Team Six, though not identified, became heroes.
"Later that year, a U.S. Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter, with the call sign “Extortion 17,” was shot down in Afghanistan by the Taliban. All 38 on board were killed, including 15 from SEAL Team Six.
"Now it appears that the downing of the Chinook helicopter was no tragic coincidence. The families of the dead SEAL team members are blaming the incident on the Obama administration.
"Initially, the tragedy appeared to be the result of loose lips by Vice President Joe Biden and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Two days after Bin Laden’s death, Biden told an audience at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Washington, D.C., that it was the Navy SEALs who got the Al Qaeda leader.
Two months later, Panetta was at a ceremony on the grounds of the CIA compound when he told approximately 1,300 attendees the unit responsible for the raid and the name of the ground commander.
"The lives of the SEALs and their families were immediately put in danger.
"But since then, the families of the dead SEALs have implied that more was going on than accidental leaks of classified information.
"Billy and Karen Vaughn, the parents of slain SEAL Aaron Vaughn, recalled that within 24 hours of Biden’s leak, their son telephoned and told them their lives were in danger.
"In 2013, Billy Vaughn published a book, titled “Betrayed: The Shocking True Story of Extortion 17 as Told by a Navy SEAL’s Father.” He continues to divulge information that is unsettling to say the least.
"Extortion 17 was en route to Wardak province, just west of Kabul, Afghanistan. The SEALs were to take part in a night raid in the Tangi Valley of that province. Seven Afghans were also on the helicopter, but their correct names were not on the manifest, suggesting there was a last-minute change in Afghan personnel.
"Additionally, the Chinook was flying into an area where a firefight had been going on for the previous 3 1/2 hours. Yet no cover was given by ground forces for the incoming helicopter.
"Furthermore, Afghans were moving toward the landing area before the SEALs were to get there, indicating that Extortion 17’s arrival was not a closely guarded secret.
"Immediately after the tragedy, the victims’ bodies were cremated without the families’ permission. Also, the helicopter’s black box was never recovered, purportedly washed away in a rainstorm.
"Vaughn is certain the Extortion 17 mission was compromised. He believes the Afghans tipped off the Taliban, who were then ready and waiting to avenge Bin Laden’s death (H/T Freedom Outpost).
"If all this is true, the Obama administration has a much larger scandal to deal with than even the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi. Yet the media appears reluctant to report this story.

Alan Caruba: Caitlin Jenner? Hello Sucker!
"It doesn’t matter that Bruce Jenner, famed Olympic athlete and member of the Kardashian family, thinks that he is female. He can never be female no matter what surgery he undertakes to make it reflect the fantasy in his head. Born a male, his body is a billion cells and nerve contacts whose DNA determines his true gender.
"That’s why those who are buying into the pop cultural myth and news coverage of Jenner’s announced transformation should be greeted “Hello, Sucker!” It’s worse than just plain stupidity; it is the tip of a massive effort to alter society that dates back to those arrogant and deluded founders of communism who thought that, for it to succeed, the family as a key element of all societies, had to be eliminated." . . .Full article
*Emphasis mine, TD; we have become a silly culture indeed. TD. . . There are among us, men and women, whose sexual preference takes them in the direction of their own gender. They constitute 1.8% if the U.S. population. There are those who, born male, now claim to be female. That is their problem deserving of no special laws or attention. Changing our entire society and culture to benefit this slim nitch of society is a very bad idea.
Bruce Jenner’s absurd claims will make him a rich man. Not a rich woman.*
What Jenner should do with that ESPY award (No. Guess again)
. . . "19-year-old Lauren Hill courageously continued to play basketball for Mount St. Joseph as she battled brain cancer. She dedicated her remaining days to raising funds for cancer research. By the time of her passing on April 10, she had raised $1.5 million. According to the Cure Starts Now Foundation, her story has spurred millions more in contributions since her passing.
"While Bruce Jenner was an Olympic champion, Caitlyn Jenner is a recreational golfer at the exclusive Sherwood Country Club. While Hill raised millions for cancer research in her dying days, Jenner courageously gave an estimated $70,000 to $100,000 to plastic surgeons to feminize his face and body." . . .
Well, Obama DID call Jenner but NOT the Hill family, so there is our priority.
