Holy Cow! Can Anthony Weiner REALLY Be This Stupid?

Calling your opponent "Grandpa" while at an AARP meeting?

Yid With Lid   "If you think that getting caught in a sexting scandal, being forced to resign from Congress, running for mayor and having your campaign destroyed by another sexting scandal is the extent of Anthony Weiner's stupidity--you ain't seen nothing yet.

"Today the self-destructive Weiner was at a forum for Mayoral candidates sponsored by AARP the progressive organization for senior citizens. Before he forum Weiner had a conversation with his 69-year-old opponent George McDonald. When Weiner greeted the Republican McDonald he touched his opponents chest. "....
Things went downhill from there. 

 

...."Can't really blame him----after all who knows where Weiner's hands have been."....

Obama’s Global-Warming Folly ; No, Mr. President, we don’t need a war on coal.

Charles Krauthammer   This is only part of Mr. Krauthammer's article, but we have posted an extra large portion of it- for those not inclined to do more than merely skim this blog- so you can see Krauthammer's main point:

...."For the sake of argument, nonetheless, let’s concede that global warming is precisely what Obama thinks it is. Then answer this: What in God’s name is his massive new regulatory and spending program — which begins with a war on coal and ends with billions in more subsidies for new Solyndras — going to do about it?

"The U.S. has already radically cut CO₂ emissions — more than any country on earth since 2006, according to the International Energy Agency. Emissions today are back down to 1992 levels.

"And yet, at the same time, global emissions have gone up. That’s because — surprise! — we don’t control the energy use of the other 96 percent of humankind.

"At the heart of Obama’s program are EPA regulations that will make it impossible to open any new coal plant and will systematically shut down existing plants. “Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal,” explained one of Obama’s climate advisers. “On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.”

"Net effect: tens of thousands of jobs killed, entire states impoverished. This at a time of chronically and crushingly high unemployment, slow growth, jittery markets, and deep economic uncertainty.

"But that’s not the worst of it. This massive self-sacrifice might be worthwhile if it did actually stop global warming and save the planet. What makes the whole idea nuts is that it won’t. This massive self-inflicted economic wound will have no effect on climate change."...Read more...

LOL — Vile Obama Video, Going Viral in Egypt

Grumpy Opinions   "Remember when Hillary blamed Benghazi on the “vile” Muhammad Video – Well some folks in Egypt have made a video too- "
Language advisory-in the subtitles!

"Well if that was cause for rioting in Egypt and the attack at Benghazi, brace yourself…  The Obamaites are about to freak, cause this Egyptian video damn sure insults their Messiah..  In fact it not so politely tells Obama to ...shove his aid where the sun doesn’t shine..
"She doesn’t say much about John McCain, she let the picture do that for her…
"And she flat out accuses Barack Obama of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood …." (Their words, not mine.TD)
 

How the Vietnam War Was Won and Lost

Prager University  "Most of what you believe about the Vietnam War isn't true. In this second installment of Prager University's "Wisdom of the Masters" series, foreign policy expert, Bruce Herschensohn, explains how the U.S. Congress turned victory in the Vietnam War into defeat." 

Even then, the Democrats had an investment in American failure.

How the Russian press looks at the US embassy closings

Pravda (for you young Obama voters, Pravda has for decades been a propaganda voice of the Communist government, first for the Soviet Union and now for the present government of Russia). Think Putin.  Via Lucianne.

"However, there are other points of view. "If this is such a serious threat, why did the President go to play golf, why did he not address the American people? Maybe they are just trying to make mountains out of molehills to distract the media attention from Benghazi, IRS, and NSA spyware? "...
.. According to the American political scientist Mike Baker, many military veterans and U.S. law enforcement agencies believe that the terrorist alert announced this weekend is ungrounded. "The problem is that Obama cannot decide whether Al-Qaeda is on the run or the al-Qaeda is a threat to the American people," said Baker. It seems, however, that in this instance it was an operation for domestic consumption designed to rehabilitate the "Big Brother.""

Hey, these people should know "Big Brother" when they see him.

Jay Leno Rips Obama as He Waits Off-Stage: “How About Solving the Problems That Brought Our Country to a Halt”

The Gateway Pundit   "Jay Leno ripped Barack Obama [Tuesday] in his monologue as the president waited to come on The Tonight Show.

“President Obama has sent John McCain to Cairo to help solve the political problems that brought the Egyptian government to a halt. I got an idea. How about solving the problems that brought our government to a halt.”

 
The full interview here.
 

NBC's take on the Leno appearance; UK Daily Mail

 

Laugh track sorely missed as Obama does Leno   "Jay Leno, whose rating have surged as he cracks more and more jokes about the president, played the straight man on the Tonight Show. For Obama, it was a chance to repair his soured imaged, as the campaign's claim that Al Qaeda is "on the run" now looks like a bad joke." Thomas Lifson

"Then there is the question  of dignity. On the one hand, the public is supposed to believe that there is a real crisis overseas, but on the other hand, Obama doesn't miss his tee time and is out in Hollywood. Neil Cavuto noted that JFK certainly didn't go on the Jack Paar Show  when the Cuban Missile Crisis was underway. "

Unions and the Democrats

Unions and the Democrats   "For generations the Democratic Party has relied upon unions and their members to dutifully pull the lever for Democratic candidates and to man their call centers and canvass neighborhoods. And yet, an objective look at what are arguably the three biggest issues shows that Democrats are on the wrong side of these issues when compared to the desires and needs of union members.

"Union members -- it is time to break the allegiance with the Democratic Party."

Fort Hood Shooter Gets To Grill His Own Victims

"Not sure why they just didn’t accept his guilty plea, rather then having to put the victims through this. But hopefully, confronting him and calling him out for what he is will be cathartic."   Read the account at Fox News

But he declined to cross-examine one of his shooting victims, Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who provided the day’s most damning testimony.

Priebus: DNC Banned Fox from Debates, Why Can’t We Avoid CNN, NBC?   "“We have to control the referees that we’re bringing into our

playground,” Priebus said of his threat to prohibit CNN and NBC from holding Republican-primary debates in 2016. “The fact of the matter is you’ve got two networks that are potentially spending millions of dollars, promoting a person they know is at least doing the dance in getting ready for a run for the president.” "

RNC to Media: We Won't Let You Make 'Mockery' of Candidates, Debates
 "Sean Spicer, the communications director for the Republican National Committee (RNC), said on Monday that the RNC will not let the mainstream media make "a mockery" of the GOP's presidential nominating process and candidates in the 2016 election cycle."

NBC News Responds to RNC: We Aren't Involved In Hillary Movie
"Moreover, during the 2012 presidential campaign, when Mitt Romney and the RNC said over and over again that they were completely separate from Todd Akin and his abortion/rape comments, that didn't stop NBC News, NBC's Today Show, or MSNBC from tying them all together into the Democrats' artificial War on Women narrative. NBC waged this blistering attack for weeks."

The Obama doctrine is a huge failure because it isn’t based on US interests

Nile Gardiner  "Rove argues rightly that on Iraq and Afghanistan, Barack Obama has projected weakness rather than strength, sending a clear signal to America’s enemies that this administration doesn’t have the resolve and commitment that is needed. At the same time the United States has appeased the Islamist regime in Tehran, with President Obama failing to stand with pro-democracy protesters who were brutally suppressed in the aftermath of the fraudulent June 2009 presidential election..... Hillary Clinton’s “reset” strategy towards Moscow has been an embarrassing flop, only serving to encourage Putin’s Russia to become more aggressive. As Rove notes, “it’s hard to see a strategic vision for Mr. Obama’s foreign policy. To the degree that a vision exists, it has seemed aimed at diminishing America’s presence in the world.' ”

Krauthammer’s Take: Embassy Closings ‘Fruits’ of ‘Nothing Happening to the Bad Guys’ in Benghazi

Krauthammer "detailed that this sort of conduct extends beyond the Benghazi attacks to include the administration’s relations with Russia throughout the Edward Snowden affair and its handling of Iran and Syria.
“ 'This is the idea that America somehow by being nice will be treated well,” he said."

Political fallout for Obama building from terror threat  "Well what do you know. The press is actually remembering what President Obama said about al-Qaeda during the 2012 election and is wondering, like the Wall Street Journal's Brett Stephens, about "The Al-Qaeda Obama Forgot":"....
...."And that includes the terror alert this past weekend, for which George Bush was raked over the coals when he upped the alert status using the infamous Homeland Security color codes. Obama is praised for his caution."
