Krauthammer’s Take: Harry Reid Is a ‘Disgrace’ Who ‘Emasculated’ the Senate

NRO

"Charles Krauthammer said he knew it was impolite to speak ill of the dead, but since Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) was simply retiring, the syndicated columnist said he did not feel quite so constrained. 
“ 'Harry, we hardly knew ye, and what we did know we didn’t like,” Krauthammer said on Special Report. “I do think he was a disgrace to his own institution because he emasculated it in the name of protecting the president and trying to re-elect Democrats. He didn’t succeed because he essentially shut down the Senate as soon as Republicans took the House in 2010.” 
"Krauthammer added that Reid failed as a Democratic leader because nine of his senators lost reelection, and that he only succeeded in protecting the president from having to exercise the veto."

Then this:  Clown of the Senate . . . "Gutting the Bill of Rights to silence political criticism is a dramatic move, but then Senator Reid has always had a flair for the theatrical. " . . .

What part of "death to America" is so hard to comprehend?

 

Mona Charen: Obama doesn’t take the Iranian chant seriously. He should. "Maybe I’m too sensitive, but when a foreign autocrat leads his people in chants of “Death to America,” I take it personally. 

"President Obama and Secretary Kerry apparently don’t. The chant, which became a staple of the Islamic Republic during the 1979 revolution, is not a relic of the past. Just last weekend, at a rally in Iran, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was interrupted by the chant as he was denouncing American “lies” and “arrogance.” He smiled and responded, “Of course yes, death to America, because America is the original source of this pressure.”

 

 

House Committee Demands Bergdahl Information From White House

National SecurityAdvisor Susan Rice went on the Sunday talk shows and said Levi Petit served Sigma Alpha Epsilon with honor and distinction.

The U.S. Army annouced it will charge U.S. Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl with desertion despite the White House calling him a hero last May.

 Western Journalism 

 

 "The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, sent a letter to the White House Thursday asking for all “documents and information related to the decision to transfer the five Taliban members for Sgt. [Bowe] Bergdahl.”

"Addressed to White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, the letter refers to Bergdahl’s release last year in exchange for five individuals held by the U.S. government at Guantanamo Bay. Then a private, Bergdahl went missing from his base in 2009. He was formally charged with desertion earlier this week.

 

Honoring Battles, Honoring the Fallen, Something Mayor Emanuel Does Not Understand

  Desperate Rahm suggests renaming airport after Obama   "Rahm Emanuel is in a fight for his political life, facing a tough re-election election vote on April 7, and running against Jesus “Chuy” Garcia in a city with a large and growing Hispanic population. That is probably the reason he would suggest renaming one of two Chicago airports – Midway and O’Hare – after Barack Obama. The city’s substantial black vote is, after all, up for grabs." . . . Full article.

Blackfive

 

"As a Chicagoan, it's not my preferable airport, but it bears a name that many don't know... Butch O'Hare.

"In 1942, LtCdr Edward Henry "Butch" O'Hare became the first naval ace of WWII when he destroyed 8 bombers headed for his carrier, USS Lexington, in the Pacific.  He was the first sailor to receive the Medal of Honor during WWII.  The MoH citation reads in part:

"For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in aerial combat, at grave risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty, as section leader and pilot of Fighting Squadron 3 on 20 February 1942. Having lost the assistance of his teammates, Lt. O'Hare interposed his plane between his ship and an advancing enemy formation of 9 attacking twin-engine heavy bombers. Without hesitation, alone and unaided, he repeatedly attacked this enemy formation, at close range in the face of intense combined machinegun and cannon fire. Despite this concentrated opposition, Lt. O'Hare, by his gallant and courageous action, his extremely skillful marksmanship in making the most of every shot of his limited amount of ammunition, shot down 5 enemy bombers and severely damaged a sixth before they reached the bomb release point. As a result of his gallant action--one of the most daring, if not the most daring, single action in the history of combat aviation--he undoubtedly saved his carrier from serious damage." . . .

. . . "And this politician *spit* wants to rename it Obama International Airport.

Could Mayor Rahm Emanuel be thinking about renaming Chicago’s airports, perhaps after President Barack Obama?

 . . .
For now, Mayor Emmanuel reconsidered:

"Mayor Emanuel quickly backtracked on talking about renaming O'Hare or Midway (named in honor of the WWII naval battle)."
 . . .
"You know what the real mistake is, Mr Mayor?  That you and your friends in the administration don't understand why the names O'Hare or Midway should never be changed.  You worry more about the sacrifices made to get votes than the sacrifices made to keep to the world safe."

Evidence indicated Lubitz was NOT a Muslim

 

TW is searching for corroboration to the Gateway Pundit's claim at the bottom:
Germanwings co-pilot had medical note for day of crash, hid illness, officials say

Germanwings crash: Andreas Lubitz ‘received treatment for depression’

Andreas Lubitz: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

No Official Confirmation That Killer Co-Pilot Of Germanwings Airbus Was A Muslim Convert  . . . “Following a search of Lubitz’s Dusseldorf apartment, investigators today revealed they had found old torn-up sick leave notes, current ones and one issued for the day of the disaster.”

The Daily Mail report on the air disaster adds that investigators said they have not found a suicide note nor any evidence of a political or religious motivation.
However, there are reports circulating in non-mainstream German news outlets that Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim convert who was trained in a radicalized mosque and may have been acting under orders from Islamic handlers when he set his aircraft on a death course.

The claim that Lubitz was a Muslim convert that needs to be corroborated. As of right now all evidence is that he was not a Muslim, even though he was praised as a martyr by some Muslims :
 

The Gateway Pundit    "GERMAN REPORT —HE WAS RADICALIZED!

GERMAN CO-PILOT WAS MUSLIM CONVERT–
— STAYED AT Bremen Mosque

"Police have reportedly found an “item of significance” at the apartment of the co-pilot who crashed the Germanwing passenger plane into the Alps this week.
"The item was NOT a suicide note." . . . 

A German news website claims Andreas Lubitz was a Muslim convert.
Speisa.com reported:

According to Michael Mannheimer, a writer for German PI-News, Germany now has its own 9/11, thanks to the convert to Islam, Andreas Lubitz.
Translation from German:
All evidence indicates that the copilot of Airbus machine in his six-months break during his training as a pilot in Germanwings, converted to Islam and subsequently either by the order of “radical”, ie. devout Muslims , or received the order from the book of terror, the Quran, on his own accord decided to carry out this mass murder. As a radical mosque in Bremen is in the center of the investigation, in which the convert was staying often, it can be assumed that he – as Mohammed Atta, in the attack against New York – received his instructions directly from the immediate vicinity of the mosque.

Here Are The Words Hillary’s Supporters Won’t Let You Say

"HRC Super Volunteers have been laying in wait for Clinton to announce her candidacy, with one organizer of the independent group boasting to colleagues that “our supervols tended to be more loyal to HRC than hired staff who worried about getting a job after the campaign.

OBAMA TAKES ANOTHER STAB AT ISRAEL: Releases Declassified Nuclear Documents

Julie Prince

 

"It is no secret that Obama is not a fan of many things–including America and Israel. It’s baffling that an American President could be viewed as an enemy of the state much like a Ward Churchill or Howard Zinn.  A disciple of Saul Alinsky, Obama learned from the master of community organizing on how to manipulate a people so they won’t even know they’re being had until it’s already happened.

"His hatred for both the United States and Israel are deeply rooted; I believe going back to his childhood. Something so inherent in him when the seed was planted, it is part of him." . . .

The timing of this new revelation has revenge written all over it. Tensions were already high long before Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, but after that it has become a game of cat and mouse — with Israel being the mouse and Obama being the only player. The document goes into great detail of how Israel is, “developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level.”
