. . . "All of which raises serious questions about how and why Bernie gave Hillary the gift of public absolution for her sins (just before she'll be forced to testify on Benghazi this week) and yet be sincere about his presidential run?

"The answer, of course, is that he's not serious and never has been. He has been Hillary's co-conspirator from day one, in the race only to allow her radical Leftist ideology to seem "moderate" when compared to Sanders' raving, spit-flecked, anti-capitalist insanity.

"For quite awhile, Hope n' Change almost wanted to give Bernie credit for at least being sincere in his wacky beliefs - but all that changed when he deliberately threw the race to a woman who is the literal embodiment of all he claims to despise."

Hillary Forgets Who’s Been President for the Last Seven Years
"Hillary Clinton visited Alabama this weekend and while nearly all of the early media reports are about her absurd claim that Republicans are trying to disenfranchise black voters, it was her remarks about the economy that were truly stunning.
. . .
"Clinton conveniently leaves out the role Democrats played in the 2008 financial crisis when they forced banks to give home loans to unqualified borrowers. She also neglects to mention the massive debt accumulated by Obama." . . .

'I will not be silenced,' Hillary shrieked  . . . "And who, pray tell, is trying to “silence” her?

"That would be no one.

"The left, on the other hand, tries to silence dissenting voices routinely. They cannot handle dissent of any kind as evidenced by Clinton’s comments as well as the government’s move to identify “extremists” and bring the boom down on them – extremists being people who disagree with Obama.

"Just who is trying to silence whom?" . . .

Senator Sanders, how will America pay for your giveaways?

Maher Challenges Sanders: How Will America Pay for Your Radical Agenda?
"Every once in a while, Bill Maher tip toes out of the progressive box and makes statements or asks questions that stun his audience and the media.

"Reacting to Bernie Sanders’ agenda and its estimated $18 trillion price tag, Maher challenged him by asking how America will pay for his radical agenda."

. . . "Considering that even Obama’s comparatively tame agenda can’t be paid for by taxing only the rich (the middle class is taking hit after hit), Sanders’ insistence that the top 1%—and maybe “little bit lower than that, but not much lower”—seems fanciful at best.  Maher is right to call him on it.

"However, it should be noted that Maher begins this interview by telling Sanders:  “I want to help your campaign. I want to see you get the nomination. I want to see you be president.”  So while it may seem that Maher is opposed to Sanders’ proposals, he’s not.  He just has the sense to realize that the idea that taxing the top 1% will pay for Sanders’ socialist wonderland is faulty and suggests that one way to “undemonize” socialism is to acknowledge that fact."

Bernie is the candidate for the occupiers, meaning these people:

Do we want the candidate choice of these people running for President of the United States?

Barack Churchill, 1939

Victor Davis Hanson

"Certainly we do not need a disproportionate response to Herr Hitler that initiates a cycle of violence on both sides. We need to tamp down the rhetoric.”

I have nothing to offer you, except blood, sweat, and arugula.

"Winston Churchill, well before he became Prime Minister in May 1940, was busy all through 1939 prompting the British government to prepare for war — and then, as First Lord of the Admiralty, helping to direct it once it broke out. But what if Churchill had been Barack Obama? What would Britain’s foremost opponent of appeasement have been like?

The Munich Agreement
"Obama-Churchill might have said something like the following in regards to the 1938 Munich Agreement.

“ 'We live in a complex world and at a challenging time. And none of these challenges lend themselves to quick or easy solutions, but all of them require British leadership. If we stay patient and determined, then we will, in fact, meet these challenges. The Munich Accord is a comprehensive government agreement.  It is the first that actually constrains Nazi Germany from further aggression, and one whose provisions are transparent and enforceable. It is a sober and judicious way to preclude war and to bring Germany back into the family of nations and to become a credible regional power, while allowing the German people to express their legitimate aspirations.”

“ 'Obviously, the last twenty years of ostracizing Germany has not worked. So it’s time for some creative reset diplomacy, and a reengagement to get out of the rut of the last two decades.  I don’t believe, as did former British officials, in snubbing supposed enemies, but rather in engaging and talking with them. Lots of you in the American newspaper business keep expecting us, like some American baseball team, to hit home runs. Well, we’re perfectly happy to hit singles and doubles like this agreement.' ”. . .

. . . “I’d also like to remind my fellow British subjects not to climb on their moral high horses. While Britain was forcibly colonizing the poor in Asia and Africa, and conducted genocide abroad, Germany in comparison had left a very small colonial imprint. It had no record of exploitation in the Americas and was not much of an overseas imperial nation. Its factories burn a lot less coal than do ours. So it might be wise for us to look inward a bit and calibrate the wages of our own imperialism. Germany does not rule India. It does not dictate to so-called dominions of subordinate states. It has no record of trafficking in and transporting slaves. There is no longer any such thing as a Germany monarchy.” . . .

Christians in Sweden told to "convert or die"

How could any civilized people side with these people against Jews?

Why settle for this. . .

Daily Mail  "Christians living in Sweden have been warned to 'convert to Islam or die' in a string of threatening messages linked to the Islamic State.

"Members of the Assyrian community are understood to have been targeted with sinister graffiti daubed on restaurants and businesses in Gothenburg – a hotbed for jihadist recruitment.

"The messages bear all the hallmarks of the chilling psychological warfare employed by ISIS in the Middle East, but as yet Swedish police have been unable to track down those responsible.

"Markus Samuelsson, one of 3,000 Assyrian Christians living in Gothenburg, said he found the walls of his restaurant covered with the messages 'convert or die' and 'the caliphate is here'.

. . .

"The same messages, along with the ISIS logo, were also painted on a neighbouring pizzeria, while other non-Assyrian-owned businesses were left unscathed, it was reported by Breitbart.

"The warnings were also accompanied with the Arabic letter ن – a symbol which has been used ISIS in the Middle East to donate Christians."

President "sticks a fork" in offshore drilling

National Journal  . . . "The Obama ad­min­is­tra­tion still has more de­cisions to make about policy in the Arc­tic seas, which are es­tim­ated to con­tain 23 bil­lion bar­rels of re­cov­er­able oil. Off­shore lease sales are planned in five-year in­cre­ments. A draft plan for 2017-2022 floated in Janu­ary in­cludes Arc­tic auc­tions in 2020 and 2022, but it’s un­clear wheth­er the fi­nal plan will in­clude those sales.

"Fri­day’s de­cisions drew quick GOP cri­ti­cism. Rep. Rob Bish­op, the chair­man of the House Nat­ur­al Re­sources Com­mit­tee, bashed the can­cel­la­tion of new lease sales.

“ 'While the Obama ad­min­is­tra­tion pats it­self on the back, [Rus­si­an Pres­id­ent Vladi­mir] Putin is pat­ting this ad­min­is­tra­tion on the head. Obama has once again played dir­ectly in­to Rus­sia’s hands as he des­troys our na­tion’s en­ergy po­ten­tial,” Bish­op said."

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." . . .
