Pat Sajak: ‘Wheel of Fortune’ host pokes fun at Obama, NSA on Twitter

The Washington Times   “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak was in a particularly playful mood Monday night, taking to Twitter to poke fun at the NSA, climate science and President Obama.
“Thanks to the interception of @Facebook posts, the #NSA now owns the world’s largest collection of #catphotos,” he tweeted to his 4,602 followers.

“Next crisis facing planet: too many people digging holes to unearth live bait. Scientists warn of global worming,” he added.

Mr. Sajak even took a swipe at Mr. Obama’s career as a community organizer in Chicago.

“Had a deprived childhood,” the host said. “My community actually had to organize itself.”

Remember when Sajak took on Mayor Bloomberg?

Military Atheists Lose; Chaplain's Essay Back on Website

Military Atheists Lose; Chaplain's Essay Back on Website
Godfather Politics  "A military chaplain whose essay about the origin of the phrase "there are no atheists in foxholes" was yanked from his base's website last month after atheist complaints has apparently struck a blow for free speech.
"The essay "No Atheists in Foxholes: Chaplains Gave All in World War II"  by Lt. Col. Kenneth Reyes was republished to the website of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, after the base commander and higher ups reviewed the complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a far-Left atheist group whose leader, Mikey Weinstein has called the preaching of Christianity "spiritual rape" and treason."

Dr. Ben Carson: When servants behave as rulers

Dr. Ben S. Carson  "Our Founders also saw no reason for a gigantic central government, because they felt that the states would be much more in tune with the needs of their constituents and be able to provide appropriate legislation to facilitate local and national goals. They felt that the purpose of the government was to protect the people from foreign and hostile domestic forces, to protect their property and to enable their pursuit of happiness. Obviously, there were some other purposes, like facilitating transportation and containing disease, but the point is, limited federal government was desirable, as was maximum freedom for the people."  Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University.

An Awesome Superhero Video About… Obamacare?

Heritage  "The Obama Admind histration has pushed Obamacare through porta-potties and bourbon festivals—and now it’s promoting a $30,000 prize pool for a video contest.
"Young people may feel they are “invincible” and don’t need Obamacare, so the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has to convince them otherwise. It will award prizes to videos promoting Obamacare to young people. The Huffington Post reports that the prize money comes from “the Affordable Care Act’s education and outreach budget.” As Heritage has explained, the cost of educating the public about Obamacare is already “extraordinary—and questionable.' ”
Here's the site: Young Invincibles ; And a video.

Some World War 2 photos to stir your emotions

Barack of Arabia


Peter Wehner; Obama's Epic Middle East Failures  "Barack Obama promised that if he were elected president he would “remake” the world. He has; and America is paying a terrible price for it."
 
Here, Mr. Wehner does cut Mr. Obama some slack:  "That said, it’s also important to recognize that even if Barack Obama had done everything right, things in Egypt might be roughly where they are today."

Kerry reinstates State Department officials demoted over Benghazi   "Benghazi is now an official non-event. Secretary of State John Kerry has reinstated the State Department employees who were demoted following the attack."
....
"So the Benghazi attack on our diplomats where 4 were killed never happened. There was no incompetence in the run up to the attack. There was no need for extra security as requested by the ambassador. There were no warnings of trouble. There was every reason to trust the Isamist militia in charge of "security." "

Obama’s Strange Love Affair with the Muslim Brotherhood  "It’s not as if the MB is subtle. They have proclaimed who they are since their founding by Hasan al Banna in 1928 and have not wavered in any significant way since in their global jihadist goals. They have also been unstinting in their massive misogyny, homophobia and rigid support of Shariah law über alles (quite literally über alles, since the Brotherhood were — virtually the last still unrepentant — allies of Hitler in WWII).
"You know, liberal stuff." Roger L Simon
 

Republicans look to change structure of campaign debates

Washington Examiner  "Everyone knows the RNC leadership believes there were too many debates last time around and intends to cut the number in half for 2016. And by now everybody has heard of the group's decision to shut out NBC and CNN from sponsoring debates if those networks go forward with Hillary Clinton documentaries that many Republicans believe will be little more than campaign commercials.
"But what has gotten less attention is that Republicans are fundamentally re-thinking their whole debate system. And that could result in a very different kind of GOP race in the next few years."
