Watcher's Council's Weasel Of The Week Nominees!

Nice Deb  "It’s time once again for the Watcher’s Council’s ‘Weasel Of The Week’ nominations, where we pick our choices to compete for the award of the famed Golden Weasel to a public figure who particularly deserves to be slimed and mocked for his or her dastardly deeds during the week. Every Tuesday morning, tune in for the Weasel of the Week nominations!

"Here are this weeks’ nominees…." Excerpts of the nominations below:

1. GOP RINO Heir Apparent Governor Jeb Bush!

2.  DNC Head,Obama Groupie And Walking Blonde Joke Debbie Wasserman-Schultz!\
. . . "With the likes of brain trusts like Joe Biden and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, you can see why the Democrats have fallen to the Marxists. The stupid are easily infiltrated and overthrown from within. As Charles Payne said, the Debster couldn’t answer the question because there is no difference between the Democrats and Socialists. None." . . .


3. City Councilman and illegal migrant enabler Jhonny Pineda!
. . . "Pineda just announced the appointment of two illegal immigrants to serve as commissioners on the city’s advisory boards.
"Francisco Medina was appointed as Commissioner of the health and education commission and Julian Zatarain will laud over the parks and recreation commission." . . .

4. The ICE Otay Detention Center  " My nominee for Weasel of the Week is the ICE Otay Detention Center who are still detaining 27 Iraqi Christian refugees in the San Diego area. The 27 men, women and children fled Iraq earlier this year after ISIS took over the territory where they used to live. Members of the local Iraqi Christian community said that the government knows full well that the people being held are not criminals."
. . .  “These are people that have escaped ISIS, escaped slavery and refused to convert, only to be imprisoned by ICE with no explanation,” said local Iraqi Chaldean Christian leader Mark Arabo who appeared on Hannity on 8/3/15." . . .

"Well, there it is. What a despicable group of  Weasels…ANY OF THEM COULD WIN! Check back Thursday to see which Weasel walks off with the statuette of shame!"

Kill Dylann Roof

David Lawrence   . . . "Killing Roof won’t bring his victims back.  That’s impossible.  It will say that the crime was so horrible that to look on the killer kindly would be encouraging future killers to kill, as if their crimes didn’t matter.

"Every day I pick up a newspaper and pick up another story about a shooting.  This should not be.  The more we punish the killers, the more we admit that crime is wrong.

"How irresponsible to have a society where forgiveness supersedes punishment and violence is encouraged by its lack of penalties.  The families of the dead at Charleston owe it to the rest of society to petition for the death penalty.

"Lame, academic sociologists feel that the death penalty  doesn’t inhibit crimes.  Why don’t they go to death row and visit with prisoners who are constantly writing legal briefs to get their sentences commuted to life in jail? 
No one wants to die.  And murderers' aversion to their own deaths is the reason why they must be executed: to discourage future murders.

"If I killed someone, I wouldn’t want to be forgiven.  Criminals tend to have more honor than academics.

"Liberals don’t know how to fight evil and the milieu of evil.  Kindness toward evil turns the scales of justice on the side of evil."

Flashback: Obama Supported Coal Plants – Before 2008

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2014/06/05/obama-epa-regulations/

Sweetness & Light   "But that was when he was running for office. He’s been elected and re-elected now.
"From the July 2008 archives of USA Today:

Obama shifts stance on environmental issues

By Ken Dilanian | July 18, 2008
WASHINGTON — In May 1998, at the urging of the state’s coal industry, the Illinois Legislature passed a bill condemning the Kyoto global warming treaty and forbidding state efforts to regulate greenhouse gases. Barack Obama voted "aye."
The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee now calls climate change "one of the greatest moral challenges of our generation," and proposes cutting carbon emissions 80% by 2050. But as a state senator, from 1997 to 2004, he usually supported bills sought by coal interests, according to legislative records and interviews…
Obama, who touts his independence from special interests, made a point of embracing the coal industry as part of his quest for statewide office. When he ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, he was flanked by mine workers to proclaim that "there’s always going to be a role for coal" in Illinois.
"He understands how important coal is to the state of Illinois and to the Midwest," said Illinois state Rep. Dan Reitz, a Democrat and former coal miner who sponsored the anti-Kyoto language and campaigned for Obama during the West Virginia primary.

LIBERALISM: Goes From “Mainstreaming Dumb” To “Mainstreaming Crazy”

 

John Hawkins at Townhall   . . . "If there is a part of America that’s important or works, liberals are systematically trying to destroy it. We HAD – emphasis on the word HAD – the best healthcare system in the world before Obamacare. Under Obama’s incompetent leadership, the economy STILL hasn’t recovered from the housing crash of 2007. Marriage was already in trouble; so rather than trying to fix it, liberals were like, “Hey, let’s kick that all the way down the stairs with gay marriage! Then we’ll push a refrigerator down the stairs behind it with polygamy next!” Despite the fact that we now have the first black president, his supporters have spent practically his entire presidency trying to create race riots and foment hatred between black and white Americans.

"As a rule, liberals support stupid, counter-productive policies that do more harm than good to the country." . . .

To have so many Americans embracing this kind of depravity and madness doesn’t bode well for the future of the country.

Life with Obama: U.S. Pays Black Comedian to Deliver Anti-White Racist Tirade at Fed Agency

 Is there no Obama voter out there who is sick of this administration? Is there no Republican candidate that will speak in anger at what Democrats have done to this nation?

Gregory

Judicial Watch  "The U.S. government paid a controversial civil rights activist/comedian to deliver an anti-white racist tirade at a major federal agency during Black History month and Judicial Watch has obtained the disturbing transcript of the offensive political rant.

"It took place at the United States Census Bureau earlier this year and the paid speaker was Dick Gregory, a self-professed humanitarian and drum major for justice who claims that his social satire changed the way white Americans perceive African American comedians. But Gregory’s angry outburst at the Census Bureau was not funny to some employees and the agency was forced to explain that it will thoroughly review its procedures for selecting future speakers to “ensure their views are appropriate for the federal workplace.”

"Based on Gregory’s well-known reputation as a fiery race-baiter, it’s unlikely that the government officials who booked him didn’t know about his discriminating, shock-based performances. The Census Bureau paid Gregory $1,400 to “share a wealth of history as a Civil Rights Activist,” according to the records obtained by JW under the federal public records law known as the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Instead, American taxpayers funded a disgusting stand-up routine filled with the “N word” and replete with conspiracy theories about whites and the U.S. government targeting prominent blacks—including Martin Luther King and Malcom X—for assassination or career destruction (golfer Tiger Woods and beleaguered comedian Bill Cosby)." . . .

" . . . advised his black audience not to obey “white racist cops,” which he also referred to as “filth.”
The rioters who destroyed Ferguson after a cop fatally shot a black man with an extensive criminal record who had just committed a robbery, didn’t steal enough merchandise from the businesses they looted, Gregory told his government audience. “I was complaining about Ferguson because the N_ _ _ _ _ _ wasn’t getting enough,” Gregory said, according to the transcript obtained by JW. “Did you see the brother go in there and walk out with a half-pint, I said ‘Get some tips.’ And, y’all be trying to trick them White folks and say rebellion. No rebellion is put together, predicated, on some White person shooting a Black person and that tips it off. Those was riots, riots.”

 "The infamous leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, made a chilling call for violence after the group provided a list of demands. It’s only adding fuel to the already raging inferno around race relations in America.

After Obergefell, can Christians withstand the pressure to change their teachings?

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Culture Witness   " Post-Obergefell, the war for the heart and soul of Christianity has begun in earnest. Less than a week after Emperor Anthony Kennedy issued his fiat of 'love conquers the Constitution', the Episcopal Church rushed to rescue their dinner party invitations. They quickly voted themselves into the new era, approving same-sex weddings and replacing the outdated and homophobic words "man and woman" with "couple" in their marriage canons." . . .(Published previously here)


 I’ll Cry on Saturday, but I’ll Laugh on Sunday (July 2015) " . . . I can only weep at the decision of the nation’s highest court to somehow discover a Constitutional right to same-sex marriage that, for all intents and purposes—at least at the federal level—leaves in question the freedom of institutions (such as the church, not to mention Christian colleges and seminaries) to disagree and remain tax-exempt, much less to receive government accreditation and funding for student aid." . . .

On Saturday, we were lamenting the decision. But then this response came back from one friend, who happens to be a U. S. Senator: “Yes, it’s a big disappointment, but tomorrow’s Sunday, Christ is risen, and ‘trust not in princes.’”

 What a Biden Bid Would Mean for Clinton 

Pinterest

 . . . "John Heilemann: “The Clintons and their adjutants.… comprehend, if dimly, that in the short term a Biden entry would make their lives sheer hell, and in the medium term could be quite dangerous, for three reasons beyond the obvious. First, it would radically exacerbate an already punishing set of media dynamics for Clinton…. Second, a Biden candidacy would escalate the Bernie Sanders threat…. Third, with Biden in the race, the Democratic establishment would have a viable alternative.”
“ 'The absence of a plausible fallback option has been no small part of the reason the party’s panjandrums have been laboring to suppress their misgivings about the swirl of controversies around Clinton’s e-mail practices and her family’s foundation.' ”
Clinton Campaign Weighs Possible Biden Challenge


DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz can’t explain how she’s any different from a socialist
 "It must be difficult for Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. After all, she’s watching her chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, face a legitimate struggle for the party nomination against a man who says he’s a socialist, serves as an Independent in the Senate, and is running for the Democratic nomination for the White House. He’s an old white dude and the Millennials are crazy about him. What’s going on?

"Leave it to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, then, to put Schultz on the spot and ask her to define the difference between a Democrat like her and a socialist."

.....

Thomas Sowell: Will Trump Rescue Clinton And Democrats? "A shoot-from-the-hip, bombastic show-off is the last thing we need or can afford. As for the Democrats, their leading candidate — Hillary Clinton — was one of the architects of the foreign policy disasters that can turn into world-changing catastrophes."

 

Joe Biden’s Moment . . . "But if Biden gets into the race, she will soon find that the increasingly pronounced anti-Clinton sentiment within the Democratic Party has found a less quixotic figure behind which it can rally. After nearly 30 years of seeking his party’s presidential nomination, Biden may have found his moment." Neil Kinnock couldn't have said it better.

 More Clinton here

Dear Democrats: If We Get Trump, You Get Biden. . . "But I’ll give Joe Biden one thing: he might actually be more entertaining than Trump. Maybe it’s the flashing whitened teeth and the blue-collar colloquialisms. Or maybe it’s just that it’s always a lot funnier when it happens to the other side."

 Socialist Bernie Sanders may look like just another Democrat to Debbie W. Schultz
Then again, how does he differ from Obama and Clinton? Debbie W/S doesn't seem to know.

 

Guess Who Israelis Think is Worst US President EVER?

The Federalist Papers

 

. . . "The Blaze reports:

More than 60 percent of Israeli Jews named President Barack Obama as the “worst” U.S. president for Israel in the past four decades, according to a new poll published Tuesday in the Los Angeles Jewish Journal.

Columnist Shmuel Rosner, who contributed questions to the poll, reported that when those surveyed were asked to name the U.S. president from Jimmy Carter to the present who has been the “worst for Israel,” Obama scored “head and shoulders above all others”:

When it comes to the “best” President, Israelis hesitate, as they have more than one candidate for the top spot. But when they are asked about the “worst” there is no such hesitation. One President stands head and shoulders above all others: Obama – with 63% of Jewish Israelis choosing him. Carter comes at a distant second with 16%, and other presidents are barely mentioned (the Bushes with 4% and 3%, Reagan with 2%).

. . . "Or, perhaps it’s just Obama’s constant groveling to radical Islamic terrorists.  Whatever the case, it’s obvious that most Jews don’t like Barack Obama.

Obama and his pen; disaster in the making

Obama to go after air conditioning next

 Emissions Overreach 
 . . . "Like so many other destructive initiatives, this executive overreach has been enabled by an overly indulgent Supreme Court, which in 2007 put its imprimatur on the preposterous notion that carbon dioxide — the stuff you exhale — can be classified as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act, which was designed to help combat things such as smog and to regulate poisonous emissions from industrial facilities.

" The president is coming out swinging here, and Republicans ought to swing back twice as hard, for instance by moving to amend the Clean Air Act, stripping the president and his EPA minions of their ability to engage in this mischief. Indeed, the Clean Air Act is very much in need of reform: Despite the fact that many of the law’s goals have been met and exceeded — on ozone, on particulates, etc. — the rules promulgated under the act get ever-tighter and more expensive to comply with rather than the other way around."  Read more

Obama's pen strikes again
 . . . "There are several problems here:

1) Aren't you sick and tired of watching a U.S. president govern by decree?  The EPA has become a wrecking crew attacking U.S. companies.  Where did the president get that authority?  Or what about the EPA? 

2) What about the impact of all of this on jobs?  Are companies in a position to adopt all of these ideas from people who have never run a company or met a payroll? " . . .Read more

Reparations? How about ~7 trillion?

Richard Butrick   "Flop or not, it has cost the American taxpayer $22 trillion.  On a raw basis, more of that money has been spent on whites, since whites outnumber blacks ~9:1.  But on a percentage of population basis, three times as much has been spent on blacks.  It wasn’t done in the name of reparations, but to the extent that the higher rate of poverty among blacks is the result of discrimination, the effect is the same.  If that is not – stupid and misguided though WoP may be – reparations, then what is?  Throw in forced sub-prime loans to “minorities” and the banking collapse of 2008, and who knows what the real cost of WoP is – a testament to the failed feel-good social policies of self-anointed white liberal champions of black Americans.

"But there it is – failed or not – an attempt to break the poverty cycle for blacks and America’s underclasses generally, who are perceived as not getting a “fair shot” and a “fair shake.”  What else should reparations do?"    Read more

 

Iran Publishes Play-by-Play on How to Defeat US, Destroy Israel

 "REMINDER: We negotiated with these people"

Legal Insurrection

 

"Right on cue, Iran has proven just how woefully ignorant western powers are to the true motives of those pushing for controversial nuclear concessions.

"Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has released a 416 page book blasting the existence of a Jewish state and touting a plan to “reclaim Muslim lands.” “Palestine” labels the Holocaust “a propaganda ploy,” describes Israel as a “cancerous tumor,” and details how Khamenei believes Iran can bring about the end of both Israel, and the United States’ claim to global hegemony.

"The crux of Khamenei’s plan? The insane assertion that Israel has no right to exist as a state:

"He uses three words. One is “nabudi” which means “annihilation.” The other is “imha” which means “fading out,” and, finally, there is “zaval” meaning “effacement.”

"Khamenei claims that his strategy for the destruction of Israel is not based on anti-Semitism, which he describes as a European phenomenon. His position is instead based on “well-established Islamic principles.”

"One such principle is that a land that falls under Muslim rule, even briefly, can never again be ceded to non-Muslims. What matters in Islam is ownership of a land’s government, even if the majority of inhabitants are non-Muslims.

"Of course, Khamenei isn’t suggesting that he’ll simply push a button and sink Israel into the Mediterranean. Oh no—he’s planning on dragging this out in the worst way possible." . . .

 From 2011: Why Obama Betrayed the Iranian People 

Feckless: lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible:

In 2009, demonstrators filled the streets of Iran, denouncing the regime and crying out for freedom.  It was a glorious opportunity for the leader of the free world to demonstrate his support for free people everywhere and strike a decisive blow against the bloody regime that had considered itself at war with the United States for three decades.

"But Barack Obama didn't help them.  Quite the contrary.  The leader of the free world was too busy extending his hand to those same mullahs.

"It was monstrous when Obama stood by and did nothing during the abortive Iranian revolution; instead, he bought ice cream and posed for photo ops on the golf course while the only revolution against Islamic rule in a Muslim country was taking flight in Iran.

 "History will not be kind to Obama for his siding with evil and brutally aggressive oppression over freedom."

The Cop

 "Darren Wilson was not indicted for shooting Michael Brown. Many people in Ferguson question whether justice was done." says this New Yorker writer.

New Yorker   "Darren Wilson, the former police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an eighteen-year-old African-American, in Ferguson, Missouri, has been living for several months on a nondescript dead-end street on the outskirts of St. Louis. Most of the nearby houses are clad in vinyl siding; there are no sidewalks, and few cars around. Wilson, who is twenty-nine, started receiving death threats not long after the incident, in which Brown was killed in the street shortly after robbing a convenience store. Although Wilson recently bought the house, his name is not on the deed, and only a few friends know where he lives. He and his wife, Barb, who is thirty-seven, and also a former Ferguson cop, rarely linger in the front yard. Because of such precautions, Wilson has been leading a very quiet life. During the past year, a series of police killings of African-Americans across the country has inspired grief, outrage, protest, and acrimonious debate. For many Americans, this discussion, though painful, has been essential. Wilson has tried, with some success, to block it out." . . .

In case you forgot, the big man on the left is who was shot by Officer Wilson.
