"Ever since the end of the Cold War, there has been an assumption that conventional warfare between reasonably developed nation-states had been abolished. During the 1990s, it was expected that the primary purpose of the military would be operations other than war, such as peacekeeping, disaster relief and the change of oppressive regimes. After 9/11, many began speaking of asymmetric warfare and "the long war." Under this model, the United States would be engaged in counterterrorism activities in a broad area of the Islamic world for a very long time. Peer-to-peer conflict seemed obsolete." ...

Dennis Prager ... "All these years, the Left, after coining the term “McCarthyism” in order to disparage the Right, had fooled most people into believing that it is the Right that suppresses liberty. The truth, of course, has been the opposite.
"During the McCarthy era, the Left (and not only the Left) screamed when people were falsely charged with supporting Stalin and Communism, one of the greatest evils in human history. But the Left also screamed when people who really did aid and abet Stalin were dismissed from their jobs." ...

US Vet Beaten by 3 Detroit Men Who Shouted Anti-US Army, Racist, Anti-Gay Slurs – Are They Muslim?
Debbie Schlussel
"A U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan was brutally beaten by three men
at a gas station in the
Detroit-area suburb of Westland on Thursday. They shouted anti-U.S. Army slurs
at the man, as well as racist and homophobic insults. The men gave a hard time
to the clerk at the gas station, and the veteran asked
them to stop. When they followed him outside and saw U.S. Army and military insignia on his car, they
shouted anti-U.S. Army slurs and also attacked the man, who is White, because
they were upset that the U.S. Army allows Blacks to serve. The men were arrested
after videotape of them was shown on Detroit’s NBC affiliate."
"If you look at the photos, at least two of the men look like they are Arabs. And the Arabs who live in Westland, not far from Dearbornistan, are generally Muslim. It will be interesting to hear their names, once they are arraigned. I note, also, that the Detroit Free Press’ resident Muslim propagandist, Niraj Warikoo, who writes about religion and Islamic terrorists for whom he makes apologies and performs whitewashes, wrote the Free Pressistan’s “report” on the incident. But his story does not contain ANY information about the men shouting racist slurs at the Army veteran." ...

FAMOUS PRESIDENTIAL LIES
LBJ:
We were attacked (in the Gulf of Tonkin)
Nixon
I am not a crook
Clinton:
I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski
Bush - 41:
Read my lips - No new taxes

I will have the most transparent administration in history.
TARP is to fund shovel-ready jobs.
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.

It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
If I had a son.
I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict and cynicism".
You didn't build that!
I will restore trust in Government.
The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
It's not my red line - it is the world's red line.
Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
I am not spying on American citizens.
ObamaCare will be good for America
You can keep your family doctor.
Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan

I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi
And the biggest one of all:
"I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."

Peer-Reviewed Paper Encourages Global Warming Proponents To Lie To Further Their Cause…
Weasel Zippers
The paper appears to support or provide a formula for why lying or “information manipulation” is able to further the cause of man-made global warming and “enhance global welfare.” The authors use a mathematical formula to study information tactics.
The authors, Assistant Professors of Economics Fuhai Hong and Xiaojian Zhao, note how the media and environmental groups “exaggerate” global warming and then the offer their paper to “provide a rationale for this tendency” to exaggerate for the good of the cause.
"Because the “science is settled,” or something."

What Mozilla Has Taught Us
Jack Cashill ... "Distressingly few editorialists came to Eich’s defense. Like too many others, Oremus made the case that Eich’s forced departure was somehow anomalous: the tech community, being “socially liberal,” has higher standards than the rest of America. Mozilla chairwoman Mitchell Baker made the same point to justify the sack. “Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard,” said Baker, “and, this past week, we didn’t live up to it.”
"Both Oremus and Mitchell seemed to making the case that yielding to the tech mob’s desire for the head of the “bigot” – Oremus’s word – somehow elevated the move or at least justified it." ...
State Dept. misplaced $6B under Hillary Clinton: IG report
"The $6 billion in unaccounted funds poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” according to the report.
"The alert, originally sent on March 20 and just released this week, warns that the missing contracting funds “could expose the department to substantial financial losses.”
BENGHAZI PROTESTERS Force Hillary Clinton to Cancel San Diego Appearance (Video)
"Jan Iverson created an organization called “The Difference Matters” to protest Mrs. Clinton’s quest for the presidency, because of her role in Benghazi.
“ 'She is not welcome here in San Diego by so many of us. We don’t want her here,” said Iverson.
"Pat Smith lost her son, Sean Smith, during an attack in Benghazi and plans to be at the center of the protest, Iverson said."
Sunday Cartoon – My Little Duckaroo
American Glob "This is one of the best Daffy Duck cartoons ever made but you hardly ever see it anymore because it’s insulting to cowboys or something. Also, there’s smoking and gambling. Goodness gracious…
Plus Porky Pig has a stutter
"This cartoon was made in 1954.
"Watch it now, these classic Warner Brothers cartoons don’t last long on YouTube."

Obama’s attention deficit diplomacy
"Some of this can be blamed on Mr Obama’s attention deficit diplomacy. In his Brussels speech, he made no mention of the NSA scandal, even though that is behind much of Europe’s mistrust. And his efforts to put fresh momentum behind the TTIP were nominal at best. One senior European diplomat described Mr Obama’s private comments on the trade deal as “passive aggressive”. It is striking how often European officials speak warmly of George W Bush’s personal style, even though his pugilism was widely disdained. On the world stage, as in Washington, Mr Obama is reluctant to reach out beyond his narrow coterie of trusted advisers."
CAIR’s Jihad against Honor Diaries; The “civil rights” group hides Islam’s denial of civil rights to Muslim women.
Andrew C. McCarthy "The purpose of Honor Diaries is to empower women by shining a light on the hardships they endure — including “honor” killings (i.e., murders over the perception of having brought shame to the family by violating Islamic norms), beatings, genital mutilation, forced marriage — particularly of young girls – and restrictions on movement, education, and economic opportunity. The film highlights authentic Muslim moderates struggling against the dead-end of Islamic supremacism.
"So naturally, the Council on American–Islam Relations (CAIR) does not want you to see it.
"At Fox News, Megyn Kelly has been covering the film anyway, despite CAIR’s howling. The segments that aired on Monday and Tuesday are available on Megyn’s website, here and here.
"CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood creation, conceived as the primo American public-relations firm for Islamic supremacists, particularly Hamas — a task CAIR pulls off by masquerading as a “civil rights” organization.
....
"Although Honor Diaries has been widely acclaimed and screened internationally, CAIR has been agitating against it. As reliably happens when CAIR plays its tired “Islamophobia” card, universities across the nation cower — especially universities with active Muslim Students Association chapters. (As we’ve observed before, the MSA is the foundation of the Muslim
"Brotherhood’s infrastructure in the United States.) Starting with the University of Michigan at Dearborn, several schools have now decided not to screen the film after all.
'Why it is “Islamophobic” to condemn violence and abuse against Muslim women is not entirely clear to me." ...
