What you should be reading when the thunder storms hit today:

-John Kerry was for Bashar Assad before he recently turned against him. I understand that diplomacy is two nations fucking each other but Kerry was really pro Assad. BTW, the nation Kerry dissed earlier this week intercepted some intel indicating that the Assad regime did indeed order the attacks.

-Syria asked the UN for cover. Imagine if this goes to a vote and Obama loses, that would be an embarrassment of epic proportions. Then if he attacks, he's going to literally be a unilateralist. For the record, there were 17 resolutions passed by the UN against Iraq before Bush authorized attack.

-Ace puts the wood to Buzzfeed's Ben Smith and NBC's Chuck Todd.

-The Border Patrol named a boat after Agent Brian Terry. Terry was killed by guns that the Obama administration allowed to be "walked" into Mexico and then were lost. They've tuned up at numerous shootings including the one in which Terry was killed. The questions surrounding his death have not been adequately answered.

-NY Post: Why are major media outlets ignoring best-selling author Mark Levin? Because Levin writes about freedom, prosperity and patriotism--all things anathema to what liberals believe. Next question.

-Happy labor day: Citing Obamacare, 40,000 longshoremen leave the AFL-CIO.

-We knew the anti-war protesters were not protesting the act of war per se but were instead political shills for the Democrats. They hated Bush more than our sworn enemies. How many protests have we seen for Syria, Yemen, Libya and so on?

-Another Republican-led state ends up in the black. Govs. Haley, Walker, Perry and Pence show what can happen when conservative principles are applied and adhered to.

-College recap: So what did we learn?

+Teddy Bridgewater was 23-28 for 355 and 5 TD's. This dude is the real deal.
+Georgia is on the ropes early and the Gamecocks are pretty darn good.
+Temple was game against ND but the Owls still have a way to go.
+Johnny Manziel is an a-hole but he sure can play.
+PSU may be rebounding. It would be nice to see the Lions beat a ranked opponent or two this year.

Fast and Furious Update

I would say one of the main but many reasons I wanted Obama beaten was to finally see an investigation into the death of Border Patrol officer Brian Terry. Terry was killed by what is believed to be an AK 47 allowed to "walk" or be straw purchased in Arizona and then placed in the hands of drug cartels--all with the direct knowledge of ATF. He was ambushed during a drug raid.

Fast and Furious was designed to subvert the gun lobby and the Second Amendment. If the case could be made that guns from pro-gun states were being funneled into Mexico and fueling the cartel warfare, Obama would have the ammunition he needed to go after guns exactly like he is now in the wake of the Newtown shooting. It failed and the plan blew up in ATF's face.

Now how high would the decision have to be made to green light a plan like this? At least as high as the Attorney General who would have undoubtedly informed the president of some aspects of the plan to avoid embarrassment and questions from the media.

The story is starting to unravel, albeit very slowly:

Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice haveasked a federal court to indefinitely delay a lawsuit brought by watchdog group Judicial Watch. The lawsuit seeks the enforcement of open records requests relating to Operation Fast and Furious, as required by law. 

Judicial Watch had filed, on June 22, 2012, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking all documents relating to Operation Fast and Furious and “specifically [a]ll records subject to the claim of executive privilege invoked by President Barack Obama on or about June 20, 2012.” 

The administration has refused to comply with Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, and in mid-September the group filed a lawsuit challenging Holder’s denial. That lawsuit remains ongoing but within the past week President Barack Obama’s administration filed what’s called a “motion to stay” the suit. Such a motion is something that if granted would delay the lawsuit indefinitely.

 Now imagine your Brian Terry's family. Imagine your son, brother or nephew gave his life for his country in a battle against drugs on our southern border. Imagine the government who it appears has culpability just ignored the investigation into the case. When a cop, soldier, Marine, airman, sailor or agent decides to take the job, they know there are inherent risks. They also know that the unwritten code says that if you should die or get wounded, you will not be left behind and you will not be forgotten. The expectation is that anything that will help solve the case will be investigated and no lead omitted. In this case, the very men who blessed the plan are the very ones who are pissing on the grave of a man who gave his life for his country.

This story will not go away because some in the right wing media won't allow it to. While the MSM has always steered clear of asking Obama questions about this case, some very bright and diligent people in the new media are on the case.

Perhaps we'll get more answers about his death since a man now in custody from another case has admitted to being the one who murdered Terry.

Univision Unloads on Obama and Fast and Furious

No main stream media element in the US will cover it so leave it to a Spanish-language station to do the definitive documentary on Operation Fast and Furious.

2,000+ weapons were allowed to "walk" into Mexico without the authority or knowledge of the Mexican government. Those guns resulted in hundreds if not thousands of Mexican deaths and at least the deaths of two Americans, one being Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

This is a scandal worse than we've seen in decades. Watergate was peanuts in comparison and Iran-Contra and the Clinton-Lewinsky scandals were mere side stories when juxtaposed.

I don't really have to offer up the "what if Bush had done it" meme since we all know that it would have been on every news magazine for months and a movie would have already been released starring Selma Hayak as an aggrieved mother whose child was killed by Bush.

There's been a great many cases this election where the media have not just ignored a story but actively protected a sitting president by not even acknowledging the very existence of it. If I were Mitt Romney, I would spell it out and ask the president about it during the debates, During the domestic policy debate I would somehow add into one of the questions something akin to "and to add to our misery, President Obama's Justice Department authorized heavy weapons--as part of Operation Fast and Furious--to be smuggled into Mexico and the result was a dead agent, Brian Terry". In the foreign policy debate, I would insert something like: "Our closest southern neighbor can't even trust us when this president allowed heavy weapons to be 'walked' under Operation Fast and Furious, into their country without the knowledge of their government resulting in the death of hundreds of their citizens and one of our border agents; Brian Terry. That's not treating our neighbors and allies with any type of respect and it just goes to show how disastrous the Obama foreign policy has been".

If the media won't report it to the people, Romney will have to inform them himself. Sure, there will be editorial written about how mean it was of Mitt to bring it up but I guarantee you'll see a massive spike in Google searches for 'Operation Fast and Furious' and 'Brian Terry'.

See below a snippet of the special report and let's make this viral. Let's give the MSM the finger and show them that their time as the sole purveyors of information is past. If they cannot do their job--playing it straight with the American people--we will do it for them.
