The incomprehensible booty for a military deserter

Pakistan Daily Times   "Here is the real question. Who benefits from this deal? The United States military does not benefit. This eviscerates morale within the ranks. There are no yellow ribbons tied around the old oak tree, no veterans clamouring to line up and shake Bergdahl’s hand."...

 ... "Americans no longer trust Washington’s elite ‘Liar’s Club’. The Beltway jesters consistently deliver unbelievable whoppers. Captured on the ‘battlefield’? Bergdahl was not captured due to superior Afghan firepower and ground support. He was not taken by the enemy after firing the last bullet, throwing a grenade, or slicing the liver out of the enemy with his K-bar." ... 

 

... "President Obama ran on a platform of transparency in government but the drawbridge went up the day he walked into the White House. He has consistently worked to actively deny Americans basic truths regarding his ill-clad foreign policy endeavours." ...

FOX News Most Trusted, MSNBC Least Trusted, Media Matters Hardest Hit

American Glob   "A study by the Brookings Institute asked the following question…

“Which of the following television news sources do you trust the most to provide accurate information about politics and current events?”

 
"Ed Morrissey of Hot Air has more details…

The most-trusted name in news for all Americans is, unsurprisingly, Fox News, which also has the highest ratings by far in the industry. Broadcast news — the three networks — come in a close second, with CNN a more distant third place. However, the “honor” of being the least-trusted name in news, in practically every demographic, is MSNBC, a subsidiary of NBC News — which ranks below Jon Stewart among all but Democrats.

"None of this is very surprising. FOX News is the only news network, cable or otherwise, which is willing to ask difficult questions of the Obama administration which is exactly why it drives liberals crazy.
"MSNBC is not so much a news network as it is a home for insane progressives who insult conservatives in vicious ways, then apologize, get fired and are quickly replaced by people just like them.
"Media Matters, which claims to be an impartial media watchdog and operates as a tax free non-profit organization, constantly attacks FOX News while completely ignoring MSNBC.
"Then again, it looks like everyone else is ignoring MSNBC too."

Left pivots from ‘Tea Party is dead’ to ‘Tea Party hates Jews’ after Cantor loses

First this: House Majority Leader Cantor defeated in primary   "In an upset for the ages, Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, the second-most powerful man in the House, was dethroned Tuesday by a little-known, tea party-backed Republican primary challenger carried to victory on a wave of public anger over calls for looser immigration laws." ...

The entire Left is a real piece of work.

Twitchy   "Really? This is the spin the left is going to put on the VA-7 primary? House majority leader Eric Cantor lost his primary because Republicans don’t like Jews?" ...

There will be lots of 2nd guessing tmw on Cantor loss #VA07. Surely will focus on debt ceiling/leadership role, but his religion a role too?

Eric Cantor was the Speaker-apparent, the first Jewish Speaker of the House. This is simply amazing

The Top 8 Consequences of Cantor's Defeat  ... "This is a stunning night for the GOP. And just as in 2010, the establishment and its donors have no idea just what to do about it. The answer should be: unify." 

White House: Immigration Didn’t Sink Cantor    "Cantor’s campaign sent out direct mail pieces ahead of the election maintaining that he was ”stopping the Obama-Reid plan to give illegal aliens amnesty,” but challenger Dave Brat accused him of supporting “amnesty” based on his support for legislation such as the KIDS Act, which would give citizenship to children brought to the country illegally."

Eric Cantor Defeated by David Brat, Tea Party Challenger, in Primary Upset  ...

Boehner — and it has the potential to change both the debate in Washington on immigration and, possibly, the midterm elections."

 

 

ABC News’s Diane Sawyer destroys Hillary Rodham Clinton on Benghazi

WaPo   ... "In an interview with Clinton that aired last night on ABC News, anchor Diane Sawyer threw the ARB right back in the face of the former secretary of state. The two tangled over the preparedness of the U.S. diplomatic installation in Benghazi for a terrorist attack. In defending her work on this front, Clinton stressed that she had delegated the particulars of security to the experts in the field. “I’m not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be, where the reinforcements need to be. That’s why we hire people who have that expertise,” said Clinton, who did the interview as part of the tour for her book “Hard Choices.”

"Sensing an opening, Sawyer cited the document that Clinton herself has so often cited:" ... More

Victor Davis Hanson: Fictions as Truth

Works and Days

 

This president would like us to believe him on these and more topics:

 

"For the Obama administration narrative to be accurate about the swap of five Taliban/al-Qaeda-related kingpins for Sgt. Bergdahl, we are asked to believe the following:"

...

"For Benghazi, the Obama administration would have us believe..."

...

"For the IRS scandal, the Obama administration would have us believe..."

...

"For the Obamacare scandal, we are asked to believe..."

...

"For the VA mess, the Obama administration would have us believe..."

...

"On illegal immigration scandals, the president would have us believe..."

...

 

"I could go on with the NSA, AP, and Fast and Furious scandals, but you get the picture: the Obama administration does what it wishes, then says what it pleases, and assumes the media will offer the necessary mythologizing — and the Americans will get over it."

Obama Thinks He Has It Rough Now?

What an Obama presidency would look like if the GOP takes control of Congress in November.

PJ Media    ... "Operating amid a cocoon of aides who refuse to challenge him, or offer critical feedback (Valerie Jarrett would have their heads if they did, since this would reflect disloyalty), the president moves from failure to fiasco routinely.  We are, after all, speaking of  a man who told an exultant audience in Berlin before he even became the nominee of his party in 2008, and then again on victory night in Grant Park in Chicago in November 2008, that the moment of his victory and ascendance to office would be marked as one where the planet started healing, the oceans stopped rising, and all the other problems in the world  would just begin to melt away."...
...
"Legacy building will drive the White House to agree to any nuclear deal with Iran it can get, and hope that the Iranians repay the favor of additional sanctions relief by not showing their contempt for America — delaying the final step of their accession to the nuclear club until Obama leaves office. That will mean Obama’s successor will have to answer the “who lost China” question about Iran getting the bomb."

Legal Insurrection
"From the South Dakota College Republicans:
"It’s not us, it’s you.
"That’s our message to President Obama with our new music video, “Say Something, Obama: The Music Video.' ”

Stonewalled: My Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama's Washington

Amazon  "Seasoned CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson reveals how she has been electronically surveilled while digging deep into the Obama Administration and its scandals, and offers an incisive critique of her industry and the shrinking role of investigative journalism in today’s media.

"Americans are at the mercy of powerful figures in business and government who are virtually unaccountable. The Obama Administration in particular has broken new ground in its monitoring of journalists, intimidation and harassment of opposition groups, and surveillance of private citizens.
Sharyl Attkisson has been a journalist for more than thirty years. During that time she has exposed scandals and covered controversies under both Republican and Democratic administrations. She has also seen the opponents of transparency go to ever greater lengths to discourage and obstruct legitimate reporting.

"Attkisson herself has been subjected to “opposition research” efforts and spin campaigns. These tactics increased their intensity as she relentlessly pursued stories that the Obama Administration dismissed. Stonewalled is the story of how her news reports were met with a barrage of PR warfare tactics, including online criticism, as well as emails and phone calls up the network chain of command in an effort to intimidate and discourage the next story. In Stonewalled, Attkisson recounts her personal tale, setting it against the larger story of the decline of investigative journalism and unbiased truth telling in America today.

Exclusive: Sharyl Attkisson on Journalism’s Very Dangerous Trend    "Sharyl Attkisson, an award-winning investigative reporter who resigned from CBS News earlier this year, says the news media are heading down a dangerous path with attempts to “censor or block stories” that don’t align with their preferred agenda.

“ 'There’s a tendency in the news media, on the part of some managers, to censor or block stories that don’t fall in line with the message they want sent to the viewers,” Attkisson said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Signal. “I think that’s really a very dangerous perspective to have.”...

A moment of truth for the Tunnel Wall

Quite some time back, the TW posted a photo of Code Pink carrying a banner praising the murder of American troops, much the same as Westboro Baptist Church. The picture I published was this one:

 

Here is their refutation of the faux banner  "In response to CODEPINK's vibrant and loud presence on Capitol Hill in recent months, we have become the target of far-right hatred that has filled staff emailboxes with profane and insulting messages suggesting that, among other things, we should be run over by trucks, forced to wear burkas, or shipped to Iraq and Afghanistan where we would get what we deserved." ...

 

This is the photo that they say has been changed:

 

More on this at the link. TW still strongly condemns CP's failure to denounce those who support the murder of Israeli men, women and children, launching rockets into population centers with the desire to kill indiscriminately.

They may not have carried a banner praising the death of American troops, but they have given support to those who cause just that, who hand out celebratory treats after Muslims murder families with small children in their beds.

I find their goals and actions to be reprehensible. The Tunnel Dweller
