Sunday Morning News & Notes

The last Sunday of summer.

This was the worst weekend of the year to be a kid not at all anticipating going back to school.

Anyway, here's what is going on:

-Hillary Clinton has been silent on Syria and for good cause. The Obama strategy is incoherent and constantly changing, what she says now will be used in 2016 if things go bad and she's partially responsible for where we are by not reacting to it back when she was the head honcho at Foggy Bottom. Her non-repsonse to the Benghazi incident and her shameful responses to congress show that she is not only an ineffective leader but show her to be a political animal of the worst kind.

-It's no wonder the State Department is a mess when we give big money bundlers ambassadorships in the capitals of important allies. I mean, look at this buffoon Obama chose to represent us in London. Does he look like an ambassador or does he look like the captain of a bowling team? The Brits don't seem to be warming to him.

-Dr. Krauthammer has his say on the dithering over the Syria issue.

-Kerry Picket filling in for the ailing Jim Hoft notes that women are selling positive pregnancy tests on Craig's List. Because nothing says I love and trust you and want to marry you like a woman lying about being pregnant to her significant other. 

-I love how liberals try to revise history to their advantage. My all time favorite is when they try to tell us that it was the democrats who pushed through the Civil Rights Act when in fact people like Al Gore's dad fought hard against it but I digress. Today we have something called Karoli at hard left site Crooks and Liars actually saying that the IRS scandal was "created by the Tea Party". Okay you fucking moron, how about we revisit this made up scandal, shall we? Groups with names that included "liberty" or "tea party" were flagged and subjected to harsher scrutiny than were those who were liberal-leaning. Leaders of those groups were forced to undergo audit after audit because they were associated with said groups. And finally, the IRS admitted that they did all these things. I don't see how this can be any clearer. This is a real scandal, not something made up like the Valerie Plame affair. Real people exercising their God-given rights were singled out by the government (in an orchestrated way) because of their views. That's about as un-American as it gets but to the intellectually deficient left it's just not that big a deal...until a Republican does it.

- Has any politician imploded faster than Marco Rubio without being involved in a scandal? The immigration issue is a big deal to conservatives and Republicans and Rubio's stance destroyed a lot of good will he had built up. 

Monday Night News & Notes

At least in two weeks we'll have MNF to make our Mondays a little better. And it kicks off with the Eagles versus the hated Skins.

Anyway, here's what is new in this crazy-ass world:

-The media is playing lapdog to Obama again over his "red line" comments. Here's what Obama actually said:

“We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized,” the president said a year ago last week. “That would change my calculus. That would change my equation.”

Yes, there's definitely wiggle room there and Obama used the typical mealy-mouthed bullshit we always hear from him when it comes to acting tough. Indeed, he never did say what his actions would be and he did use the weaselly "bunch of chemical weapons", which could be one time using enough to kill a thousand or ten times killing a hundred...either way, a thousand are dead. But anyone who follows the Arab media through sites like MEMRI know damn well that it was interpreted on al-Jazeera and every other middle eastern station that Obama made a threat, Assad disregarded what Obama said and gave him the finger. Obama now needs ABC to cover his ass. Except no one in the Arab world will read that and everyone will think Obama is backing down and got punked.  That will lead to us looking weak and further attacks as any weakness in the part of the world where tribal rules still take precedence is a sign to make your move.

-For crying out loud, legalize it already. When half the country is on government assistance and many can't find a full-time job, worrying about whether or not someone is blowing a blunt seems superfluous.

-Dude, what the fuck was up with Miley Cyrus? I mean, bears, her horrid voice, her twerking, her ridiculous dancing, her outfit, her hair, her tongue? I don't even know where to begin. Dude, if she was even remotely good looking, I may give her a pass on some of it (because, I'm feel, a guy) but that shit was just embarrassing. Actually, the whole VMA's are a joke. 

-But at least we have proof that all young people mindless idiots. Some are heroes and these are the ones we should be talking about. Army Staff Sergeant Ty Carter received the MOH today. Thanks to heroes like this man we can be proud of who we are. Who is this man who "sucked at being a civilian"? Watch this:



-James O'Keefe is relentless. The new media is awesome when it gets former US Attorney's to lose their friggin minds.

-Is the IRS targeting the American Legion? It appears that way. Liberals hate anything that's good about America.
