You Will Never Be a Better Dad Than You Are a Husband

Michael T. Hamilton

 

"All the time I hear people lampoon others by opening with a caveat like “So and So’s a good guy,” followed by “It’s just that he….” Commence butchering.

. . .

"This kind of caveat doubles as both a way to talk about someone without feeling like you’re gossiping, and as a handy way to excuse someone’s incompetence, ignorance, or negligence.

"On one side is fraud, pretending to respect a person so that you will not look so bad when you trash him or her. On the other is rationalization, performed to justify behavior you don’t want to confront in others–or in yourself.

. . .  “So and So is a good guy, but he is completely out of touch with students or what it was like to grade papers 25 hours a day.” At my next school, teachers used the other edge of the sword. All you have to do is invert the sentence structure. “He is completely incompetent, lacks all passion, and is incapable of relating to the people who work for him on anything resembling a human level. But he’s a good guy with a good heart.”

"Maybe he has a great heart. Or maybe it’s rotten. Caveats and excuses reveal more about those who use them than about anyone else. This is especially true of parents. Most people who have ever worked a job they hated or had a friendship go south have used these. But there is one category of people whose experience extends to expertise: dads." . . .

DESTROYING AMERICA THROUGH IMMIGRATION TACTICS.

John Proteus at  Mark Levin's Fan Club of Intelligent, Thinking Women (and Men)

For Every New Job, Two New Immigrants

Since 2000: 9.3 million new jobs, 18 million new immigrants.

. . . "Of course, the argument is often made that immigrants create more jobs than they take. The last 14 years are a good test of that argument. Since 2000, 18 million immigrants have arrived, yet job growth has been very weak despite record immigration. In fact, the number of immigrants that arrived was about twice the number of new jobs. While employment rises and falls with the economy and temporary changes in the business cycle matter little when considering a big policy question like immigration, when we examine long-term trends we find that the level of immigration (mostly legal) and natural population increase have completely swamped job growth. As a result, there has been a long-term decline in the labor force participation rate of working-age (16 to 65) natives. This is certainly not the long-term pattern we would expect if immigration is the boon to native employment that so many immigration advocates argue."

Obama minions target Schumer over Iran deal

"TEL AVIV – Progressive groups that participated in a conference call with President Obama to coordinate support for the Iran nuclear deal are now leading campaigns against U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer’s Democratic leadership bid in the Senate."
. . . 

"In response, major progressive groups have mobilized to oppose Schumer.
MoveOn.org announced a “donor strike in response to Schumer’s Iran position.”
The George Soros-funded radical group threatened it will “organize grassroots progressives across the country to withhold campaign contributions from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and from any Democratic candidate who succeeds in undermining the president’s diplomacy with Iran.”

“Instead, they are sending a rather pointed message to the pro-Israel community that no one, not even a good Democratic soldier and future leader like Schumer, can get away with crossing the president when it comes to his plans for détente with Iran.”

Here Are Three of the Criminal Aliens Being Released Into Our Neighborhoods

Independent Sentinel   "According to a Texas Department of Safety report, in five-and-a-half years, there were more than 600,000 criminal charges against illegal aliens. That’s only Texas. It’s playing out in states all over the nation.
"So, while ICE celebrated the apprehension of its 300th criminal illegal alien in fiscal year 2015 yesterday (out of millions that should be deported), they were simultaneously releasing animals like the following into our community.
"Is our immigration system broken? You bet! But it has nothing to do with the law, only its enforcement.
"Sheriff Paul Babeu held a press conference today to announce an ICE release of 3 violent criminal illegals into Arizona. The three criminal illegals have been charged, convicted and sentenced to crimes including kidnapping, aggravated assault and murder. Instead of being deported back to their country of origin, ICE is releasing these violent criminal illegals into Arizona." . . .

"A Russian national set a police informant on fire. An Iraqi killed his two-year old daughter. An illegal from Sudan has committed multiple assaults in two states.
"These are the kind of people the administration and the Democrats want in our neighborhoods."

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Hillary......

"Hillary may have had over 300 classified documents on her secret server in a bathroom closet in Denver. She turned a server over to the FBI that had been wiped clean. Bob Woodward compared her email issues to Richard Nixon’s tapes. His tapes only contained an 18 minute gap." Chip Bok

http://bokbluster.com/2015/08/18/white-house-secret-server/

Clinton pulls plug on testy presser over server questions . . . "A visibly aggravated Clinton repeatedly insisted that she had done nothing wrong and seemed frustrated by questions about the issue.
"What I did was legally permitted, number one, first and foremost," the Democratic presidential candidate said in response to a question from Fox News reporter Ed Henry. "We turned over everything that was work-related, every single thing."
She added that in "retrospect," it had not turned out to be convenient to have the private server during her years as secretary of State.
"I regret that this has become a cause celebre. But that does not change the facts, and no matter what anybody tries to say, the facts are stubborn," she said.
"I know there is a certain level of anxiety or interest in this, but the facts are the facts." . . .

Who wiped clean Hillary's server, when, where, how and why? 

ON THE SERVER, HILLARY PLAYS DUMB: “LIKE WITH A CLOTH OR SOMETHING?” 

"Hillary Clinton took some questions at an event in Las Vegas today, and a reporter asked her whether she had wiped her home server clean before turning it over to the FBI, as news reports indicate. Hillary responded in her usual condescending style, failing to answer the question. When the reporter repeated it, she played dumb– “Like with a cloth or something?”–and disclaimed any knowledge of how digital devices work. You almost have to see it to believe it:"

The Tragic and Complete Collapse of Racial Relations

 Polls show that racial relations have gotten much worse under Barack Obama. Why has that happened?



Victor Davis Hanson   "Why do polls show that racial relations have gotten much worse under Barack Obama, who won the White House with over 95% of the black — and 45% of the white — vote?


"A recent New York Times/CBS News poll  just revealed that about 60% of Americans feel race relations are not good. Some 40% think that they will become even worse. Yet when Obama was elected, 66% of those polled felt race relations were generally OK. All racial groups, according to recent polling, believe that Obama’s handling of racial relations has made things worse since 2009. Another recent Pew poll confirms these tensions, and suggests whites are now about as pessimistic as blacks.

What has happened to racial relations?
 
"Crime. A small cohort of urban African-American males under fifty — no more than 3-4% of the general population — is responsible for about 50% of many of the violent crimes committed. Blacks are 5-8 times more likely to commit rather suffer an interracial crime, which makes up less than 10% of most violent crime. Both the analysis and solution have become taboo subjects. Writing the above is a near thought crime" . . . Full article

Carly Is a Winner

 

 American Thinker  "The strong performance of Carly Fiorina in the second-tier Republican debate and the evolving 2016 presidential race makes her perhaps the strongest and best Republican candidate yet.  Conservatives should care not just about strong candidates, but about true conservative candidates who will not wilt.  Carly fits that need, too.  There is not a single issue in which Carly is not on the right side. 

"She ran as a conservative Republican in a California, a state leftist Democrats dominate, which has not elected a conservative Republican since Reagan’s second term as governor.  This puts Carly Fiorina (and Scott Walker) in a special class.  Indeed, if Carly had beaten Boxer in 2010, she might well be the Republican presidential nominee today. 

"Conservatives like Huckabee, Perry, Jindal, and Cruz have run and won as conservative Republicans, but they have won their elections in Republican-run conservative states that routinely go Republican in presidential elections.  While these probably are true conservatives, none is a conservative who has had to persuade non-conservatives to vote for him." . . .Read more

Trump was for de Blasio before he was against him

 

 Another flip for the flopper

RedState   "Right now socialist New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is conducting a one man Jihad against Donald Trump, but the fact is, before Trump decided to run for President, Trump was a big fan.
Yes, even when it was known that de Blasio was a committed socialist, with a long record of being on the extreme left, Trump was a fan. “I think pretty strongly that he’ll end up being a good mayor”, Trump said. “Maybe a very good mayor and I don’t think he’s going to want to kill the golden goose.”

"His positive words, spoken before the election when a Republican was on the ballot, went on. “I think he’s a smart guy that knows what’s going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York. I think he is going to want to make New York great.”
Nobody who’s anything close to a conservative had this opinion of Bill de Blasio. The only question was would he be as bad as David Dinkins, or would he somehow be worse? Rush Limbaugh called de Blasio out right away.

"“Man, but this de Blasio guy. This guy, there’s no disguise. This guy’s not wearing camouflage. He’s not trying to make anybody think that isn’t what he is. It’s victory for liberals. I mean, this guy is just up front, no hiding, no camouflage, no mask. He’s a Sandinista. He’s communist.”

"They say Donald Trump fights. But on what side?"

CLINTON CRIME FAMILY COMICS: Hillary’s 5 Funniest Email Lies

Doug Ross  "Another instant classic by our long-suffering summer intern @BiffSpackle, based upon an editorial by The New York Post:"

 

" On Fox News the other day, blogger and counterterror analyst John Schindler explained the ramifications of Clinton's actions.
"And if Vegas had a line on it, my guess is that longtime aides Huma Abedin and/or Cheryl Mills illegally removed the classification markings from the emails destined for Hillary, so she could always claim she didn't know they contained TOP SECRET information. And each such action is a felony, too."  Hat tip: BadBlue News.
