ISIS wasn't this womans "cup of tea"

Legal Insurrection  . . . "The rise of ISIS has inspired some truly ridiculous tales of total and complete insanity taking hold of people not currently living in the sandy hellscape of the Middle East. National Guardsmen, young men, newlyweds, and even schoolgirls have all attempted (some successfully) to break free the chains of democracy and join the cause in places like Syria and Iraq."

Hillary's ultimate weapon: her cackle

Hillary deploys her ultimate weapon -- her cackle -- to deflect serous question on emails

. . . "It was a remarkably inappropriate response to a serious question about national security. But it served its purpose, which was to evade a serious answer and signal to her supporters that these questions are not worthy of a response.

"Will she deploy the cackle when questioned by the House Special Committee on Benghazi next week? My guess is that she will, and I suspect that members of the Committee will have appropriate responses if she does literally laugh in their faces."

How is Hillary still in the game?
. . . "She is guilty of either a crime or gross negligence.  And gross negligence when it comes to classified information is automatically a crime.

"Before going to jail, Hillary should give up running for president the way I gave up my business.  Her continued presence in the presidential race makes the Democrats look like a bunch of fools."

Weasel of the Week

Nice Deb   "Yes, once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!

Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were particularly slimy and despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner…the envelope please.."

"Barack Obama’s ‘Spiritual Mentor,’ Anti-Semite And America Hater Jeremiah Wright!"

 "Bookworm Room :I think this week’s weasel award should go to Jeremiah Wright, for his jeremiad claiming that Jesus was a Palestinian and his announcement that Jews are “Europeans” who “took” the Palestinians’ country. He also called Israel, the only democratic, pluralist society in the Middle East, an “apartheid” society. The man is a vile combination of historic ignorance and antisemitic bile. What makes his advanced weasel-ness so awful is the knowledge that our president was steeped in this stew of stupidity and hate for twenty years. "

"And second, the elementary fact that there was no such thing as a ‘Palestinian’ when Jesus died..the Romans didn’t even call it that until well after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. And Islam didn’t even exist until the late 6th century!"

Again, Obama sends troops to die for a cause he does not believe in (Commentary)

Krauthammer’s Take: History Will Judge Obama ‘Very Severely’ on Afghanistan
"History will judge President Obama “very severely” for sending soldiers to war in Afghanistan despite not believing in the mission himself, Charles Krauthammer said tonight on Special Report."

Obama ignores the advice of his generals for the 6th straight time
Somehow as commander-in-chief he feels splitting the difference is always the wisest move.
. . . "Mr. McCain said Thursday “it makes no military sense to withdraw U.S. forces” below the current 9,800.
“ 'Once again, President Obama is putting our mission in Afghanistan, as well as our men and women serving there, at greater risk, and he is doing so for the sake of a troop reduction that has no political benefit but could have significant military implications,” he said."

Gates: Obama’s Distrust of Military ‘Particularly True In Afghanistan’ (Video)
. . . "Gates after discussing his doubts that President Obama believed in the mission in Afghanistan, and micromanaging of the military by the Obama administration was asked about the president’s suspicion of the military. He stated, “I think this was particularly true in Afghanistan, and I think there were people in the White House, and I don’t want to name any names, who were constantly goading him and saying the military is trying to box you in. the military is trying to trap you. the military is trying to bully you. The military is trying to make you do something you don’t want to do.”

"When asked if Vice President Joe Biden was one of these people, Gates answered, “I think so. " . . .

In Afghanistan, Obama Starts to Face Reality

. . . "Kunduz may be tucked into the northwest corner of Afghanistan, but its temporary loss demonstrates the potential domino effect of battlefield reverses. Defeat in Kunduz sent political shudders through Kabul, raising the prospect of losses in outlying areas and leading to a collapse in the center that would open the way for a Taliban takeover." . . .

Krauthammer: Game over

"Hillary Clinton enjoyed a winning night at the Democratic Party presidential debate Tuesday at the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. She had more important things on her mind than the issues. For one thing, during the entire two-hour debate, Bill was unsupervised and in Las Vegas." Comedian Argus Hamilton

Charles Krauthammer  "I repeat: Unless she’s indicted, Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination. I wrote that six weeks ago, amid fevered dreams of a Clinton collapse and a Joe Biden rescue. That those were a mirage is all the more obvious after Tuesday’s debate. The reason, then as now, is simple: Clinton has no competition.

"She’s up against three ciphers and one endearing, gesticulating, slightly unmoored old man. If Biden was ever thinking of getting into the race, he’d be crazy to do so now. It’s over." . . .

Obama's 2007 kill-Hillary list released just before debate

But first, this brief message: Why Didn’t Hillary’s Opponents Attack Her as Obama Did in 2007?

"I’m fairly confident that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee despite all of her incredible baggage. Unless Republicans get their act together and nominate the most electable conservative candidate — rather than the most “pure” — we will be seeing Hillary’s smile and hearing her laugh from the Oval Office for the next eight years."

Daily Caller  . . . "The slug of the memo is based upon, “The Fault Line: Hillary’s the Problem, Not the Answer.”

"Obama’s slogan “‘Change you can believe in’ was intended to frame the argument along the character fault line, and this is where we can and must win this fight. We cannot let Clinton especially blur the lines on who is the genuine agent of change in this election.”

"Obama’s memo explained, “The reason Clinton can’t be trusted or believed when it comes to change is that she represents, to a great degree, the three sources of discontent formulated in our premise.”

"The memo argued that Clinton is “driven by political calculation not conviction, regularly backing away and shifting positions on issues ranging from war, to Social Security, to trade, to reform.”
Specifically, Clinton “embodies trench warfare vs. Republicans, and is consumed with beating them rather than unifying the country and building consensus to get things done.”

"The memo says Clinton “prides herself on working the system, not changing it—rebuffing reforms on everything from lobbyist donations to budget earmarks.”

Furthermore, memo criticized Clinton as “a prescription for more of the same, meaning that our shared goals will once again be frustrated by Washington’s failed politics,” and it included a chart headlines, “The Basic Messaging Framework.” This chart included the contrasts between Hillary Clinton." . . .

Leftwing Muppets on the verge of cancellation

"Whoever these freaks are that Disney invented, they are not our lovable Muppets. "More proof the old saying is true: Liberals ruin everything."

Big Hollywood

"Disney did the impossible: destroyed the Muppets. By making the Muppets “edgy” left-wing partisans who attack Fox News, come out as pro-abortion, and hurl sex jokes, the once-universally beloved franchise has been doomed. First, the leftwing Muppets failed at the box office, and now Kermit and Company are on the verge of having their new television show cancelled.

"The new series premiered less than a month ago. Initially, at least for the premiere, and no doubt riding on the goodwill of a beloved past, the ratings were good. After one look at the new show, the ratings took a steep nosedive. In week three, the ratings crashed again.

"What was once funny, zany, inclusive, nonpartisan, brilliant, innocent, and irreverent while still being sincere, has been destroyed by Disney. Our toys came to life and they were awesome. Now they’re pro-abortion, Fox News haters living (on this new show) in the real world with real-life relationship problems." . . .

The Barack and Vladimir Show

From IBD: Putin Bombs Syria, As Obama Saddles My Little Pony  ". . . One of these highly respected men is physicist Freeman Dyson, an admitted Obama supporter and "100% Democrat." This man, who was studying climate before the hysterics ever started, says that the warming models are wrong and laments that the president has chosen "the wrong side" in the climate debate.

"The other man of science is Indur Goklany, who once represented the U.S. in U.N. climate talks. He says man's carbon-dioxide emissions actually benefit humanity and nature because they increase crop yields and green the earth . Dyson wrote the forward to his report.

"Our country should be concerned that its president would rather chase an enemy that doesn't exist than confront the hard realities of the Middle East and Islamic terrorism. But he is exactly what a lot of voters asked for. Maybe they are where the madness lies."

Russian President Vladimir Putin says the Barack Obama administration has “mush for brains” given its lack of cooperation with Russians in Syria.

. . . "Now, Putin claims “the Russian government had asked for the coordinates of the groups that should or should not be attacked, the United States had not responded to either request.”

“Recently, we have offered the Americans: ‘Give us objects that we shouldn’t target.’ Again, no answer,” he said. “It seems to me that some of our partners have mush for brains.” . . .

 

American silliness Oct 15, 2015

Another massacre, another charade by Charles Krauthammer.  . . . " Nor does Obama propose any legislation. He knows none would pass. But the deeper truth is that it would have made no difference. Does anyone really believe that the (alleged) gun-show loophole had anything to do with Roseburg? Universal background checks sound wonderful. But Oregon already has one. The Roseburg shooter and his mother obtained every one of their guns legally. " . . . Put some more "Guns banned" signs up; that should do it.

Our client is being attacked on social media. Our client has been through enough.' ”

Is this a photo of Jesse James and his future assassin?

Controversy surrounds new Jesse James photo discovery

"Expert debate has erupted over a photograph, identified in September by the Houston Police Department's veteran specialist in facial recognition as legendary outlaw Jesse James, seated next to his eventual killer, Robert Ford.

"James lived a life on the run from the law, and seldom sat for photos before his 1882 death. An image of him would be an exceptionally rare and valuable find, but would require a meticulous process of verification.
RELATED: Lost photo of Jesse James, assassin Robert Ford is found

"HPD's forensic artist, Lois Gibson, spent a month analyzing facial features of the men in the photo. And last week, a genealogist traced the family of the photo's owner back to the James' community in 19th Century Missouri. But even that is only the start." . . .

Did you REALLY buy every debate talking point made by the Democrat candidates?

http://terrellaftermath.com/

You won't believe the price tag for all that free stuff offered by Dem candidates at the debate  "Any time you get a bunch of Democrats together in the same room, it is recommended that you grab hold of your wallet tightly and lock up the family silver. You also might want to hide your wife and daughters - just to be safe.

"The Democratic presidential candidates who took the stage for their debate on Tuesday night tried to outdo one another in rushing to give away tax dollars on wild spending schemes. How much are we talking about? The Washington Times has some thoughts:" . . .

Hillary Clinton's Take on Banks Won't Hold Up  . . . One of the most revealing exchanges in the Clinton-Sanders tilt involved the question of Wall Street corruption. Sanders has always been a passionate crusader against Wall Street perfidy, but Hillary's take on the subject was fascinating.

"Asked about it Tuesday night, she gave an answer that to me sums up her candidacy and the conundrum of the modern Democratic Party in general. She seemed to hit a lot of correct notes, while at the same time over-thinking and over-nuancing a question where a few simple unequivocal answers would probably have won everyone over.

"The key exchange began with a question from CNN's Anderson Cooper:" . . .

Hillary's 'Genocide' Lie 

 “ 'We deeply value the relationship between Libya and the United States,” Hillary told the press with the tall, Western-looking young man standing beside her."

. . . "When the late William Safire called Ms. Clinton a “congenital liar,” he knew whereof he spoke. Mendacity* is in Hillary’s DNA. There was no genocide in Libya, nothing close. Although I have written about the Libyan fiasco previously on these pages, the story bears repeating at least in part as Hillary has assumed full ownership of the genocide lie." . . .

*Mendacity: 

1. the tendency to be untruthful

2. a falsehood

Mark Steyn on The Alpha Female of a Beta-Male Debate  . . . "Nobody asked Bernie Sanders why an "independent socialist" who's never been a Democrat is running in the Democrat primary, but he could just as easily have said: "I didn't join the party, the party joined me." Last night the Democrats presented themselves [as] an openly left-wing party, to whose base Bernie's honeymoon in the Soviet Union appears far less eccentric than Jim Webb doing his Scoop Jackson routine 40 years too late." . . .
