Fox Host Andrea Tantaros Slams NYT for “Sexist Garbage” Article on Carly Fiorina

by Jodi Giddings

"On the heels of crowning Hillary Clinton “The Queen of Everything” last week following her debate “win” against the other four dimwits on stage with her, and her magnificent performance—and I stress the word “performance”—at the House Benghazi Hearing, the New York Times is again doing precisely what it and countless other Leftist rags do with predictable regularity: practicing shameless hypocrisy. Here’s what the “news”paper ran yesterday on GOP presidential candidate, Carly Fiorina:" . . .

Signs that the deaths of our Benghazi defenders weighs heavily on Hillary

The last exodus like this was Jews trying to get out of Nazi Germany

These refugees grew up on a steady diet of this  You didn't think only Palestinian children were taught these things, did you? And they are all headed for the West.

"Palestinians have been stabbing random Israelis daily for weeks, and on cue myriad foreign commentators have been trotting out the usual "root causes" arguments to explain their actions: Israeli settlements, Palestinians' collective despair, the Netanyahu government's policies.

"Then again, we could just as well blame Farfour." . . .

Our allies suffer the foreign policy of Obama and his lifetime mentors

And America will be the worse for it.

Afghanistan Turns To Russia Because America Is Untrustworthy

Afghanistan and Russia are set to sign a deal for the delivery of Mi-35 gunship helicopters.

"Atmar is asking for U.S. help, but Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is calling on someone more serious: Russia's Vladimir Putin. Ghani wants helicopter gunships and artillery from Moscow.

" . . .

" 'Russia is seizing the opportunity," a U.S. official told the Wall Street Journal. And, remarkably, Putin had just warned at a Kazakhstan summit of regional Asian leaders earlier this month that he was ready to get involved, ostensibly to prevent Islamists from destabilizing central Asia. Moscow this year also sold four chopper gunships to Pakistan, another U.S. ally whose eyes have been forced to wander.

"It just doesn't pay to be a friend of the U.S. these days.". . .

US rejected Israeli request for hardware to raid Iranian nuclear facility – report

"Israel wanted to send commandos to break into the Fordo nuclear facility in Iran and sabotage it from the inside, WSJ reports. The US considered it a suicide mission and refused to sell Israel military hardware that could be used in such a raid."

Allies scorned by Obama continue turn to Russia

. . . "In a major strategic shift, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during a visit to Moscow on Monday that Israel and Russia had agreed to coordinate military moves in Syria to avoid the possibility of the two countries accidentally trading fire."

. . .

Saudi Arabia: "Since the signing of the nuclear deal with Iran, there have been widespread reports of plans by Russia and the Saudis to possibly step up cooperation on energy policies." . . .

Egypt, Jordan: . . . "The Obama administration has been cool to the secular, moderate government of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, which ousted the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies, led my Mohamed Morsi in 2013." . . .

Israel: ". . . And now, under the Obama administration, the U.S.-Israel alliance, the linchpin of America’s Mideast foreign policy, is under historic strain." . . .

Hillary's Breathtaking Mendacity*

*Mendacity: 

1. The condition of being mendacious; untruthfulness.

2. A lie; a falsehood.

Just as she looked Charles Woods in the eye three years ago, while his son’s remains and those of three other Americans killed by jihadists lay nearby, so did Hillary Clinton look America in the eye during Thursday’s testimony. Both times, she seemed earnest, composed and determined as only a pathological liar can in the execution of a high-stakes fraud.

Andrew C. McCarthy at National Review   "We’ve seen the heavy assault on our post in Benghazi that took the lives of those brave men. We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.”

"Those words, depraved words, were spoken by then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton, with President Obama by her side, on September 14, 2012. This was at Joint Base Andrews, during the most sacred of rites: the return of the remains of Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, and Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, all slain in the line of duty in Benghazi.

"And all slain, it must never be forgotten, by jihadists carrying out what Clinton, Obama, and high-ranking national-security officials throughout the United States government knew full well was a planned terrorist attack, not a “protest” run amok and incited by “an awful Internet video.”

"That obvious fact is now explicit after Mrs. Clinton’s galling testimony on Thursday before the House select committee investigating the Benghazi massacre.

"Not only had the siege occurred on the eleventh anniversary of al-Qaeda’s 9/11 atrocities. Not only was Obama informed in the first minutes that a terrorist attack was underway. Not only had terrorist attacks in Benghazi been threatened and executed for months. Not only were mortars deployed by trained jihadists. Not only had Gregory Hicks, the senior State Department official on the ground in Libya after Ambassador Stevens was killed, directly briefed then-secretary Clinton about the then-ongoing terrorist attack — the same Gregory Hicks who would later testify that the anti-Muslim Internet video was a “non-event” in Benghazi."

You think Kissinger was heartless? What about Obama?

Niall Ferguson: Think Kissinger was the heartless grandmaster of realpolitik? What about Obama?

. . . "Having spent much of the last decade writing a life of Kissinger, I no longer think of the former secretary of State as the heartless grandmaster of realpolitik. (That's a caricature.) But after reading countless critiques of his record, not least the late Christopher Hitchens' influential "Trial of Henry Kissinger," I also find myself asking another question: Where are the equivalent critiques of Obama?" . . .

"There is disenchantment with Obama's foreign policy these days. In recent polls, nearly half of Americans (49.3%) disapprove of it, compared with fewer than 38% who approve. I suspect, however, that many disapprove for the wrong reasons. The president is widely seen, especially on the right, as weak. In my view, his strategy is flawed, but there is no doubting his ruthlessness when it comes to executing it.

"As Hitchens surely would observe if he were still around, a great many liberals today apply a double standard when they judge the foreign policies of Nobel Peace Prize laureates Henry Kissinger and Barack Obama. If you think Kissinger didn't deserve his Nobel, then neither did Obama."
Niall Ferguson is a professor of history at Harvard University and senior fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford. He is the author, most recently, of "Kissinger 1923-1968: The Idealist."

"Fings Just Ain't Wot They Used T'Be"

Mark Steyn  "Christian bakers have to bake gay wedding cakes, but Muslim truckers don't have to transport alcohol. Gotcha.
"I'm sure Anthony Kennedy can explain it, but wouldn't it be quicker just to load America onto the truck and drive it off the cliff?". . .

But here is Steyn's money question:
"Well, maybe. But he shouted "Allahu Akbar!" and "Itbah al-Yahud!" ("Kill the Jews!") So how exactly do you tell the difference between a "mentally unstable" "drunk" and a healthy, well-adjusted Jew-hating Muslim? Ask Germany's "security experts":

Germany's security experts have rounded on the country's leader, Chancellor Angela Merkel, warning that her immigration policy will "produce extremists", and stating that the country is importing "Islamist extremism, Arab anti-Semitism, [and] national and ethnic conflicts of other nations".

"For the most part, the Continental media are content to downplay stabbed Jews. But what happens when all the Jews are dead or fled, and there's no one left to stab but Pierre and Fritz?"

Woodward: It better bother us that Hillary told such conflicting stories to the committee

http://terrellaftermath.com/ 

To paraphrase Mark Twain

Hillary Clinton in House testimony Thursday cited her trips as Secretary of State to Israel and the West Bank as examples of her successful tenure. For four years she lectured Palestinians and the Israelis on how to live side by side, even though they hate each other. No one has more experience.

Comedian Argus Hamilton

Bob Woodward: It better bother us that Hillary told conflicting stories on Benghazi
"Bob Woodward disagrees with Judy Woodruff of taxpayer funded PBS and most of the Democratic Party, and thinks that it matters when a secretary of state and prospective commander in chief says different things publicly and privately over a major terror attack." . . .

Hillary's Worst Crime Was Against the 'Filmmaker'  . . . "It would be as ethically bankrupt for the Democrats to nominate Hillary Clinton after Benghazi as it would have been for the Republicans to nominate Richard Nixon after the Watergate hearings.

"More bankrupt actually. No one died at Watergate, and the only people who went to prison were the ones who committed the crimes. At Benghazi, of course, four Americans died, and the only American who went to prison did so to help Hillary sell a lie." . . .

Hillary Clinton: American Royalty 2015 Style  "Not since Senator Ted Kennedy went on prime time television in a neck brace to spin the reasons for the Chappaquiddick accident have I felt so manipulated by a politician as I did by Hillary Clinton in her testimony before the House Benghazi Committee. As it turns out these two incidents have more in common than one might think." . . .

Via I Never Surrender   "Watching TV nowadays has been made much tougher than it used to be thanks to LIBERALS. Many shows that could be really good are ruined by political correctness and a blatant liberal agenda. Some shows are just un-watchable from the get go for the same reason. The extreme foulness of libs in general." . . .

. . . "Back in November of 2012 Allen’s character took on a group of controversial issues in a single joke. In the episode, Mike explains to his daughters, “Let me put this in perspective with the inheritance tax. Now, one day I am going to die and I will split things up and give it to you guys, right? The Democrats will tax that inheritance and probably use that money to throw gay weddings for illegal aliens . . . if the Democrats win, the only thing you will inherit is a $16 trillion debt.' ” . . .

Fiorina: Benghazi hearings confirm Hillary lied

MSN News

. . . “ 'I think anyone who listened to those Benghazi hearings realizes that she knew this was a terrorist attack in Benghazi and she nevertheless lied to the American people about it,” Fiorina told host John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable” on New York’s AM-970.

"Fiorina also said Clinton’s only strength in the presidential election is her gender.

“ 'I think it’s worth remembering, though, that Hillary Clinton is running on a platform of being the first woman president. That is her platform,” she said.

"The former Hewlett-Packard CEO said she is the best candidate to take on Clinton in a general election because she will force her to run on the issues.

“ 'If I am our nominee, I will force her to have to run on her track record, or lack thereof,” Fiorina said. “She’ll have to run on her policy. She’ll have to run on her mistakes, for which I am prepared to hold her to account.”

“ 'And if we can force her to play on that ground, then we can win.' ” . . .

Hillary's bacon has been saved

Patriot Retort

All commentary from American Thinker today:

Accused rapist affirms Hillary Clinton is 'honest and trustworthy'  . . . "Mr. Clinton, who Kathleen Willey said fondled her breasts and placed her hands on his genitals, is thought to be a good character reference for Mrs. Clinton, given his popularity with women and Mrs. Clinton's "wimmen wimmen wimmen" campaign focus."

Hillary covered up a terror attack, Nixon a burglary . . . "The bottom line is as follows.  1) Hillary left her top envoy vulnerable to attack because she was more interested in Libya opinions from her privately paid hack than from her envoy on the ground.  2) Hillary tried covering up a terror attack as it took place – an attack that killed an ambassador.  3) Hillary then tried deleting evidence of the cover-up." . . .

She got the media, but what about the military moms?  . . . "Why lie to a mother or widow standing next to her loved one's casket?  Why not say that we don't know and need to do more research?  Of course, we know why she said it.  They had to cover for the Obama re-election message that al-Qaeda was on the run, Osama was dead, and the U.S. is out of Iraq." . . .

Do Hillary's Lies Matter?  . . . "My campaign video would be short -- it would be Hillary before the caskets of the four Americans slaughtered in Benghazi blaming an obscure video and its maker for the incident; Hillary telling the father of one of the deceased, Ty Woods, that the video maker would be arrested (“we are going to have the film maker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son"), and her testimony before the committee that she never blamed it on the video. The ad would take just a couple of minutes. .  Message at end -- are you ready for a president who lies over the bodies of dead American patriots?" . . . 

"The Clinton strategy -- in case you slept during her husband’s administration -- has always been to delay and obfuscate and when the truth finally comes out to blame those who expose it as partisans dredging up old news. " . . . Read the rest of this excellent Clarice Feldman article here.

British WW2 tank veteran discusses the movie "Fury"

A tank veteran on Fury: 'Very realistic, but it can't show the full horror of war' (Spoiler alert)

"Bill Betts, now 91, was a radio operator on Sherman tanks during the second world war. He talks about the memories reignited by Fury, which stars Brad Pitt as a Sherman tank commander leading his team through Germany in 1945."

I was in the Essex Yeomanry, a territorial regiment. All the crew were from Essex except me. It took us a while to get along but then I trusted them implicitly with my life. We fought along side the Americans in their Sherman tanks and I found them to be very brave. We didn't write the name of our tank on the barrel like they did in Fury or plaster the inside with photographs but we were just as proud of our tank. Ours was called Beverley and her name was written on the turret.

. . . "As the film makes clear, a Sherman tank was a lightweight in comparison to a Tiger. The Sherman weighed 33 tonnes and had a 75mm gun, compared to the Tiger's 54 tonnes and a 88mm gun. A Tiger also had 3.9 inch thick armour, so shells from a Sherman literally bounced off it. In response to an attack from a Tiger, Wardaddy yells: "It will end soon. But before it does, a lot more people gotta die." Again, says Bill - quite right. Though the film can't go far enough." . . .

Fury shows just how vulnerable you were fighting in a Sherman tank. There is a lot of blood and gore in the film but nothing can really come close to the true horrors of tank warfare. I saw people being blown up and burnt alive. Going to see Fury you don't get that dreadful, nauseating smell of burnt flesh. That will stay with me forever.

 

The corpses certainly mount up in Fury, particularly in the final scene. This was the only part Bill felt lacked credibility.

I thought the film showed accurately how tough life could be in a tank, but the final scene where the crew hold out against a battalion of Waffen SS troops was too far fetched. The Germans seemed to be used as canon fodder. In reality they would have been battle-hardened and fanatical troops who would have easily taken out an immobile Sherman tank using Panzerfausts (an anti-tank bazooka). They also seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of ammunition and fuel. A Sherman tank only does five miles to the gallon so I think they would have run out long before the final showdown.

Here's How They Made Fury's Fiery Tank Scenes Look Real
"When you see the exterior of the Fury in Brad Pitt's new World War II movie, out today, you're seeing the real thing. But shooting the interior of a tank required a little more creativity."
