The Clinical Definition of ‘Insanity’ …


Andrew C. McCarthy  "President Obama made a number of ill-conceived remarks in his press conference Tuesday, but the topper was the one reported by the New York Times regarding the performance of federal investigators in the aftermath of a 2011 warning from Russian intelligence that Tamerlan Tsarnaev — one of the eventual Boston Marathon bombers — was an Islamic radical:
Mr. Obama said that after the Russian warning, federal agents “had not only investigated the older brother; they interviewed the older brother. They concluded that there were no signs that he was engaging in extremist activity.”
"Translation: There is to be no change in our approach — we refuse to acknowledge the causative nexus between Islamic supremacism and the terrorism committed by Muslims. Yes, the agents confirmed that Tsarnaev had adopted the aggressor ideology, but he had not — yet — moved on to aggressive activity. Until activity happens, we take no note of someone’s beliefs … unless they are right-wingers, Second Amendment defenders, or pro-life advocates." More...

Andrew C. McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor who put the Blind Sheik behind bars in the first World Trade Center bombing, was arguably the most important prosecutor in the War on Terror. He is among the most authoritative writers anywhere on the dangers of Jihad.
 

Teacher Fired for Giving Student Bible

suspect that we were then in the presence of criminals.

Todd Starnes of Fox   "The Phillipsburg School Board voted Monday night to terminate the employment of Walter Tutka. He was accused of breaking two policies – distributing religious literature on school grounds and another policy that directs teachers to be neutral when discussing religious material.

"“It’s unfortunate the Phillipsburg School District chose the path of religious hostility and intolerance against a retired man serving his community and simply responding to a student’s intellectual curiosity,” Hiram Sasser, director of litigation at Liberty Institute, told Fox News. “What’s next – are they going to ban Shakespeare because his plays have Bible quotations?”

Joe Imhof, a close friend of Tutka, was at the school board meeting.
The school board, he told Fox News, was basically telling God to “go to hell.”
“Just because this guy gave a student a pocket New Testament on his lunch hour – that’s enough to throw you out of school,” Imhof said. “They have said tonight, ‘God, we don’t want you in this school.’”
Imhof and Tutka serve together in Gideons International – a ministry known for providing Bibles to school children across the world.

Jon Stewart Mocks Obama for Guantanamo Bay Posturing

Big Hollywood   "Mainstream reporters may have collectively shrugged when President Barack Obama vowed to close Guantanamo Bay five years after he first promised such action, but Comedy Central's Jon Stewart wasn't buying the rerun rhetoric."

It is estimated that only 1/3 of Americans know the Benghazi story because of the MSM ignoring it


Obama administration officials threatened whistle-blowers on Benghazi, lawyer says  "“I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about Benghazi – that people have been threatened,” Toensing said in an interview Monday. “And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the CIA.”"
Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson
MSM face Benghazigate dilemma   "The biggest risk the MSM face is that this story will explode, that armed with subpoenas and immunity, revelations will pour out in testimony, and Fox News will get the sole credit. They will look even more like the modern courtiers they showed themselves to be at the White House Correspondents Dinner last weekend."
Networks Ignore Libya Whistleblower Who Asserts: We Know Who Perpetrated Benghazi
 "All three network newscasts on Monday and Tuesday ignored the shocking assertions made by a whistleblower who told Fox News that special forces could have responded to the 2012 terrorist attack on Benghazi. He also claimed that the United States knows who perpetrated last year's assault on the U.S. embassy. Fox News's Adam Housley interviewed a man he described as a "special ops member who watched as the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi unfolded."

 
FBI appeals for help in Benghazi attack  "The FBI published grainy images of three individuals it says were on the grounds of the consulate at the time of the attack.
" "The FBI is now asking Libyans and people around the world for additional information related to the attacks," the agency said in a statement. "These individuals may be able to provide information to help in the investigation.""

Special ops called for military backup during Libya attack, sources say
That meant the authority then reverted directly to the U.S. State Department, and oversight of the response to the attack that night fell to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy, who were calling the shots.
Sources said that shortly after the attack began around 9:40 p.m., special forces put out the calls for assets to be moved into position.

Krauthammer: Carney’s Remark is ‘Definition of Chutzpah’

“I have argued from the beginning, the administration’s strategy has always been stringing it out over time and count on the mainstream media being uninterested in the story, and that’s worked up until now,” Krauthammer said “It echoes what Hillary Clinton said at her hearings: What difference does it make at this point? Well, because if you wait that long, the evidence will fade.”

Just How Ignorant Is Obama About ObamaCare?

Political Cartoons by Henry Payne
Investor's Business Daily  "At his press conference this week, President Obama tried to reassure Americans about ObamaCare. Instead, he displayed either an incredible lack of understanding about his own law, or something far worse.
"Asked about increasing Democratic concern over what Sen. Max Baucus called a looming ObamaCare "train wreck," Obama claimed that it's all much ado about very little.
"But almost nothing he said in defense of ObamaCare was accurate. Among his statements:
""A huge chunk of it's already been implemented."
In fact, all that's been implemented so far are a few PR-friendly changes like a mandate to cover children up to age 26 and a more generous Medicare drug benefit."
....
" 'We're going to be able to drive down costs ... and that will save the country money as a whole over the long term."
"Except, Obama's own health care number crunchers say ObamaCare will force national health spending up 7.4% in 2014, and add billions in costs over the next decade. The Congressional Budget Office says it will add massively to federal health spending."  Read more.

From Die Welt, Germany; "America’s Credibility Is at Stake"

Political Cartoons by Eric Allie
America’s Credibility Is at Stake  "Nevertheless, America is bound to react to Assad's use of the nerve gas sarin. American President Barack Obama drew a very clear red line months ago for the use or even the movement of chemical weapons.

"America's credibility is thus at stake, especially since the president has drawn another, far more important red line: that Iran cannot under any circumstances become a nuclear power. The Iranians will know how seriously they should take this threat if America now remains passive.

"That does mean that America should react with ground troops or a full-scale war. The West could follow the example of Assad, who has escalated his war against the rebels and his own people step by step in the past months. The West could do exactly the same."
Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
George Will says Obama is right on Syria   "People who talk incessantly often talk imprecisely, and Barack Obama, who is as loquacious as he is impressed with his verbal dexterity, has talked himself into a corner concerning Syria and chemical weapons. This is condign punishment for his rhetorical carelessness, but the nation’s credibility, not just his, will suffer. His policy is better than his description of it, and his description is convoluted because he lacks the courage of his sensible conviction that entanglement in Syria would be unwise.
"Nine months ago, Obama said: “We have been very clear to the Assad regime . . . that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus.” This is less a policy than a large loophole masquerading as a policy."
Emphasis added.

With Obama’s Syrian Crawfish, the Israeli attack on Iran will have to be decisive

Israel stands alone  "Bible prophecy is definitive about one central point in the "end times", and that point is that Israel will stand alone in the world, with no "earthly" support. I say no "earthly" support, because God will certainly stand with Israel during the last days, as shown dramatically in the passages of Ezekiel 38-39. When the epic invasion of Israel takes place, as described by Ezekiel, there are no nations standing with Israel. Only God. Zachariah 12:3 also makes the same point:
"On that day, when ALL the nations of earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for ALL the nations."
Infidel Bloggers Alliance  "All these actions are MORE likely because IMHO, not one mullah, and CERTAINLY not Khameini believes Obama a serious person in this vein.
"Australia has said ‘the U.S. would be ill advised to take their participation for granted’ in action against China.
"If even in places like Australia they are wondering why they should blindly follow our lead, if their benefit is not now more with neutrality or China than the USA, can there be any doubt about what is being considered for policy in Tehran? In Beijing? In Pyongyang? In Moscow? 
"In these considerations can we see the result of a weaker USA."

America’s Most Feared Economist


Ann Coulter   "You can tell the conservatives liberals fear most because they start being automatically referred to as "discredited." Ask Sen. Ted Cruz. But no one is called "discredited" by liberals more often than the inestimable economist John Lott, author of the groundbreaking book More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws .
"Lott's economic analysis of the effect of concealed-carry laws on violent crime is the most thoroughly vetted study in the history of economics, perhaps in the history of the world." ....

Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak pokes fun at nanny Michael Bloomberg


"Wheel of Fortune is playing in front of crowds at Madison Square Garden in New York City this week. Host Pat Sajak took the opportunity to poke a little fun at America’s leading  paternalist, Michael Bloomberg. Sipping from Big Gulp-sized soda — with many in the audience laughing on — Sajak informed the crowd that he had just discovered “cola is better with trans-fats in it.”

"Why did he do it?

' “Not much to say. It was Monday night on Wheel, our first night of four weeks at Madison Square Garden in New York. Not sure why everyone laughed; I was just thirsty,” Sajak told Human Events."

Pat Sajak Slams 'Racist' Baiters  From 2010; "Pat Sajak, the host of the Wheel of Fortune has written a column in Human Events slamming those who would call opponents of ObamaCare racist:" Sajak's article:
Opposed to Obamacare? Then You Must Be a Racist  "Welcome to post-racial America, where those who oppose a piece of legislation must defend themselves against the scurrilous charges of a man who seems much better suited to reviewing “Cats”.  (He liked it, by the way.) This was a particularly shameful column, and the millions of Americans who oppose this legislation are owed an apology. Are they right? Are they wrong? Let’s discuss it. Let’s debate it. Let’s yell and scream if we want to. But would it be too much to ask that we approach the matter based on its merits and leave the psychobabble to Dr. Phil?"


 

More on the Benghazi Whistleblower

Rich Terrell, who needs to be re-educated
Real Courage: The Benghazi Whistleblower   "I could easily not say this and avoid a lot of trouble, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it.  We're losing our language.  Words mean things.  The way we're defining "courage" is kind of curious to me.  A pro basketball player announcing that he likes to have sex with other men, in my book, in a comparative sense, is not courageous, when compared, say, to a whistleblower trying to set the record straight about what happened in Benghazi." Rush Limbaugh
 

Issa: President's Remarks Only Help to Intimidate Benghazi Witnesses
Also this.

Obama Presser: Not Sure What Happened; We Will Investigate  "Question two related to the ongoing situation in finding the truth about Benghazi, specifically that some people were being stonewalled from testifying. The president had not heard of intimidation tactics being used against the whistle blowers but his team would investigate and he would get back with information."

He looks like a man who would rather be opening a library than governing a country " I had to laugh at a couple of his comments.  Wonder how bad this guy would look if he actually had a media that was aggressive and asked tough questions?"
Political Cartoons by Chip Bok
GOP persists with questions about Benghazi attack  "Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., called again for the formation of a joint select committee to investigate the handling of the attack. They said the committee was needed in light of new revelations about Benghazi, including reports that some whistle-blowers are "afraid to testify." "

Krauthammer: Obama Claiming Ignorance About Benghazi Survivors Is "Stunning"   "The president's answer? He hadn't heard about that. That could be true, a little bit hard to believe. That was, I thought, rather stunning. Since he knew that the first question would go to Ed Henry, and since Ed Henry is from FOX News, and there was a big story on FOX News last night."

ESPN supports Broussard after controversial Jason Collins comments
"Nearly all the immediate reaction from present and past athletes was supportive, but in an appearance on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines,” Broussard was asked for his personal opinion on Collins’s comments, and he didn’t hold back. He said he believes homosexuality is an “open rebellion” against God and discussed how that jibes with his views on tolerance.
" “I’m a Christian. I don’t agree with homosexuality. I think it’s a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is,” he said...“L.Z. [Granderson, a gay sportswriter and ESPN contributor] knows that. ... He knows where I stand, and I know where he stands. I don’t criticize him, he doesn’t criticize me, and call me a bigot, call me ignorant, call me intolerant.

"Isn't that the whole point of freedom?  Isn't tolerance tolerating people that disagree with you?  So Jason Collins comes out, and he's gay, and whoever publicly doesn't sign on to it has to be silenced, may be punished, fired, penalized." Rush Limbaugh
