Ted Cruz asks a question that the Sierra Club dared not answer

Red State
"The moral of this particular story is: don’t send somebody up against a Senate Judiciary subcommittee unless he’s prepared to answer the simplest of questions."

Senator Cruz . . . "asked the simplest of questions, and Sierra Club President Aaron Mair couldn’t answer it. In fairness, it’s a very awkward question – What about the satellite data? – and, as I understand it, Mr.* Mair’s testimony boiled down to 97% of scientists say that it’s not an issue. Which would have been a better answer if Sen*. Cruz hadn’t been more familiar with the origin of that particular (false) talking point, or indeed everything else involving the entire topic of global warming / climate change / [insert buzzphrase here].  Seriously, it looks bad when the head of your organization has to keep getting fed lines by his staff.

"I’ll just finish up here by also noting that it looks worse when your inevitable Democratic rescuer swoops in and essentially explains that your witness can’t even be expected to give a proper opinion on even the most basic controversies and arguments over global warming.  Honestly: in that exchange Ted Cruz showed more respect to Aaron Mair than Chris Coons did. Cruz treated Mair like a hostile witness; Coons treated Mair like a witless one. You tell me which was the ruder response."

Obama needs to stop talking trash

As Mark Steyn said, the Muslim and communist nations want to annihilate us while Obama just wants to support transgender rest rooms

American Thinker
. . . "Trash Talking is fine when your name is Muhammad Ali and you have not only the ability, but also the willingness to use your fists to win the day. If your name is Barack Obama and you are President of the United States, you may have the ability in the form of the world's finest military, but the willingness and intellect to back up your trash talk with effective actions just isn't your forte.

"Trash talking without substance to back it up appears to be a common theme with President Obama. We all can recall his comment to Governor Mitt Romney during the presidential debates, when Romney opined that Russia might be the biggest threat to the United States and world stability. Obama snarked back, "The 1980s called and they want their foreign policy back." Recent events have proven Governor Romney right and President Obama's trash talk to be ill informed and out of place. Russia, led by President Vladimir Putin, is indeed a threat and growing more so each day."
. . .
"The short, by no means inclusive list of the results he has obtained thus far are: prevented the U.S. from installing defensive missiles in Poland, humiliated Georgia, annexed the Crimea; invaded Eastern Ukraine, and finally, replaced the United States as the global power to turn to in Southwest Asia. Those plusses on Putin's ledger of geopolitical achievement come at the expense of minuses on Obama's books. When blood enemies such as Bashar Assad and Benjamin Netanyahu both turn to Putin for help, that puts him solidly in the driver's seat. President Obama needs to stop talking trash and start driving."
Emphasis added, TD

Russia Humiliates America, And Risks Taking Our Place Globally
. . . "It's happening because Putin saw his opportunity in Obama's weakness, and acted. It's clear from his speech to the United Nations that Putin seeks to replace the U.S. as the dominant player in the Middle East — morally as well as militarily." . . .

Mourning in America With Obama and Westboro Church

HopeNChangeCartoons

*For the record, a check of the Westboro church picket schedule shows no picket in Roseburg, Oregon. Nothing in their press releases about Roseburg
Nothing concrete in this post either.

"As if the people in Roseburg, Oregon haven't suffered enough, Barack Obama and the Westboro Baptist Church both plan to descend on the community to push their personal political agendas.*

"The people of Roseburg aren't happy about the president coming because of his seeming inability to tell the difference between a coffin and a soapbox. And no one is ever happy to see the morally repugnant Westboro Baptists, especially in light of their gloating tweets that "God sent the shooter." A sentiment, by the way, which the president had previously suggested about the Almighty in the case of the Charleston, SC church shootings.

"Hope n' Change has already said a lot about Barack Obama's reprehensible politicking, and has no need to comment on the Westboro Baptists other than to say that, despite our personal lack of religious affiliation, we hope there is a Hell so that they can burn in it.

"Unlike the spotlight grabbers named above, there's actually a respectful way for real Americans to show their concern for the families who lost loved ones at Umpqua Community College. Visit this GoFundMe site to donate a few dollars and leave a few thoughts (non-political, please) to let the good people of Roseburg know that we care and share their terrible loss."

Jay Leno tags in for Jimmy Fallon

Fox News Insider    "After Jimmy pulls a hamstring during the monologue, Jay Leno tags in and tells a few jokes."

"Last night on "The Tonight Show," the audience got a blast from the not-so-distant past, as Jay Leno took the stage for a surprise monologue. 

"Host Jimmy Fallon welcomed Leno, who is promoting a new CNBC show "Jay Leno's Garage," by telling the audience that that he'd pulled a muscle mid-joke and needed a sub to come in. 

" 'Could somebody tag in for me, please?" Fallon asked, as Leno ran onto the stage to big applause and delivered some of his signature one-liners. 

"Watch Leno, who hosted his final "Tonight Show" on Feb. 6, 2014, get in a few jokes about the 2016 race, ObamaCare, Usama bin Laden and more in the clip above. 

"The monologue culminated with Fallon and Leno teaming up for a hilarious "The economy is so bad" bit."

Hillary today...so far

Hillary needs MSM to jump for her, and they’ve changed into their Air Jordans

"In spite of an ongoing FBI investigation and other troubles, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is still moving forward, and the mainstream media are happy to pounce on anything that might help:   NBC video

Hillary chief of staff e-mailed classified info to the Clinton Foundation — twice
"The Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal may have its first target for criminal charges — assuming the Department of Justice takes its job seriously. E-mails produced via a FOIA lawsuit from Citizens United include two instances in which Hillary’s chief of staff Cheryl Mills transmitted classified information to people outside of the government. In fact, as Politico reports, the two e-mails from Mills went to the Clinton Foundation to assist in coordinating with Bill Clinton’s efforts on behalf of the Clinton Global Initiative:" . . .

Weasel of the Week Nominees

Noisy Room

"It’s time once again for the Watcher’s Council’s ‘Weasel Of The Week’ nominations, where we pick our choices to compete for the award of the famed Golden Weasel to a public figure who particularly deserves to be slimed and mocked for his or her dastardly deeds during the week. Every Tuesday morning, tune in for the Weasel of the Week nominations!

"Here are this week’s nominees…

The Noisy Room: "My nomination this week goes to Rand Paul:

. . . "For betraying a friend and a fellow Tea Party activist, Paul definitely has earned the Golden Weasel. For supporting the likes of Mitch McConnell and trying to publicly end Cruz’s political career, he should get it twice."

Puma By Design: "My nominee for Weasel of the Week goes to Barack Hussein Obama who began politicizing the death of nine people killed at Umpqua Community College in Oregon last week before rigor mortis set in (no disrespected intended, just trying to make a point).

"I suspect that Obama‘s speech last week was actually written months ago, locked away in a desk in the Oval Office along with a batch of executive orders on gun control that the White House claims is being prepared for Obama’s signature." . . .

Obama: Nihilist or Just Incompetent?

"Who knows; the only mystery left is how much damage will the last gasp of 2016 bring? "

"Foreign policy will take a decade of recovery. We are seeing a historic Russian, Iranian, Syrian, radical Shiite/Hezbollah, and Hamas arc sweeping across the Middle East."

Nihilism: . . . "Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence." . . .

Victor Davis Hanson

. . . And? Gasoline and natural gas prices have plunged, thanks to fracking and horizontal drilling.

"Private-sector entrepreneurs were apparently energized by new technologies and the specter of profits in an uncertain oil market — and a combative new sense of self-reliance that they were on their own without much government approval. Grimy, forgotten men on rigs have saved Americans trillions in lower energy prices and import costs — and all despite, not because of, Obama.

"Third, Obamism is proving finite. Yes, this is the Obama era of intolerant imposition of gay marriage by court fiat, the selling of fetal limbs by Planned Parenthood, Climate Change McCarthyism, Black Lives Matter / Hands Up, Don’t Shoot mythologies, “Punish Our Enemies” ethnic smearing, state-ministry journalism, and Sanctuary City neo-Confederate nullification. But in the process, Obama has nearly destroyed the Democratic Party — and all but turned it over either to a veritable crook and has-been or a 73-year-old self-described socialist. He lost both houses of Congress. The legislatures and governorships are overwhelmingly Republican. He turned off millions of working-class old-time Reagan Democrats. His new paradigm — demagogue minorities to vote en bloc in record numbers by any means necessary and screw those turned off by his separatist rhetoric — is probably not transferrable to other Democratic candidates." . . .

Of all mass shootings in recent history, which would have been prevented by the proposed laws?

Guns and Hillary Clinton's Mitt Romney Problem  . . . "The fact that Hillary's coming out so strong in favor of gun control is the clearest evidence I've yet seen that she is really, really worried about even winning the Democratic primary at this point. In fact, here's the HuffPo headline -- one that Team Hillary no doubt wanted -- "Hillary Clinton Goes Big On Gun Policy, Creates Contrast With Bernie Sanders." Here are the key paragraphs:" . . .

Obama: Guns and Poses  ". . . The “Pinocchios” in his Oct 2 remarks were numerous enough to make tree-huggers shudder, if they weren’t so besotted. Claiming that states with the toughest gun laws have the fewest crimes is a total fabrication. We all know by now that his hometown of Chicago proves just the opposite. Connecticut has very strict firearms legislation, yet Sandy Hook happened. Still, Obama will say whatever it takes as long as the faithful take him at his word. " . . .


Hillary Clinton’s Gun-Control Plan Is a Missed Opportunity   . . . "Has she so much as thought about the implications of this policy? Frankly, I doubt it." . . .

Perhaps if Chris Mintz has a "gender change" his "courage" will be honored by this White House

This Photo Is Going Viral but the White House Has No Response

. . . "While President Obama is often quick to recognize those individuals who fit the profile of his political agenda, he has failed to acknowledge others who are deserving. Chris Mintz is the lone hero we have heard about in the days of news coverage since the shooting, yet he’s received no public mention from the president.

"When 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed got in trouble for bringing a “homemade clock” to school, he was invited to the White House within 24 hours.

"When African-American youth Michael Brown was killed, no less than three White House aides attended his funeral. When a hero like Chris Mintz charges an armed killer at a school shooting, risking his own life to save others, Obama can’t see past his gun-control agenda to stop for a moment and thank him for his bravery. ' "
