FYI - Conservatives are not the only ones critical of Obama's do-nothing stratgies.
Even high ranking Dems agree: Obama's Iraqi/ISIS policies are in a failed state.
In other comments,
Sen. Dianne Feinstein: Jordan Lebanon
Andrea Mitchell: The president back in
January told the New Yorker magazine, David Remnick, that ISIS
is the jayvee team. That was clearly wrong.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein: Well, I think it’s wrong
too. I think it’s a major varsity team.
In other comments, the Senator said that Obama is not approaching the Iraqi/ISIS crisis with a proper sense of urgency.
The polar bear was dying out; warming was predictable and irreversible; greenhouse gases were causing warming; and science is infallible - none of the is true and Al Gore proves the point.

Myth of arctic meltdown: Stunning satellite images show
summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2
years ago...despite Al Gore's prediction it would be ICE-FREE by now
Seven years after former US Vice-President Al Gore's
warning, Arctic ice cap has expanded for second year in row
An area twice the size of Alaska
- America 's
biggest state - was open water two years ago and is now covered in ice
These satellite images taken from University of Illinois
The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was
apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It
could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years
from now.’
Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel
Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change.
But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can
reveal that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second
year in succession – with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between
43 and 63 per cent since 2012. (quote taken from the Daily Mail because the Marxist Media are in denial).
Editor’s notes: these
weather satellites are the same satellites (RSS) whose data shows a 17 year
slowdown to reversal, of global warming
averages and increases in regional cooling.
Obama's ability to drive the emotions of his constituency is half of what it was back in 2009 - very bad news just before the coming elections.
WASHINGTON,
D.C. -- Americans are more than twice as likely to say they "strongly
disapprove" (39%) of President Barack Obama's job performance as they are
to say they "strongly approve" (17%). The percentage of Americans who
strongly disapprove of Obama has increased over time, while the percentage who
strongly approve has dropped by almost half.
Editor's notes: understand that this result, comes on the heals of Obama "doubling down" on his promise to give amnesty to millions of illegals, putting them ahead of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, who have patiently waited for citizenship. What does this Gallup survey mean, in election year practical terms?
Simply put, Obama no longer has the ability to fool much of anyone. He is trying to effect mid-term election turn out, but, if the informed voter comes to the voting booth, his threats to use his pen and his phone will not, cannot, win the day.
Yesterday, Obama admitted that we have no strategy for dealing with ISIS in Syria (where it is based) and, now, Obama exposes his Muslim sympathies with a refusal to name radical Islam as a domestic threat.

most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no
reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon
bombing and the 2009 Fort
Hood
Instead,
the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published
this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited
to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none
motivated by radical Islam.
They
include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along
with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists. Other domestic threat
groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist
extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto
Rican nationalists.
“Domestic
extremist violence continues to be unpredictable and, at times, severe,” the
report states.
Special Ops were ready to rescue James Foley back in June, but Obama delayed the decision for 30 days.
Harnden is a reporter for the Sunday Times and is considered a responsible journalist. I have seen written rumors of this sad failure, for the past three days. This is close to a confirmation. Certainly, when we consider Obama dithering style of leadership (he can even get to a press conference on time but he can leave a press conference, change clothes and be ready to tee off in 8 minutes) is all the confirmation I need. ~~ blog editor.

Understand that there are 14,400 black citizens in Ferguson and less than 6,000 whites. The point? Ferguson blacks vote and have the power to shape the Ferguson community. Not a single word of "voter abuse" has been written about the events in this city, over the past nearly two months. "They" have the power and the right to vote against the town's mayor and reshape the police department at its highest level. In fact, the major population did vote in recent months. The result? They supported the mayor of Ferguson and the country's prosecutor, as well. No one forced these two white men, into power. No one "stole the vote" from the black community.
Conclusion: some people need to shut the hell up, and stop trying to make "Ferguson" something that it is not.
Holder refuses to investigate the claim of police abuse because the officer involved, is black.

Chicago
Tribune A Chicago police commander
on patrol in a South Side neighborhood last year chased a man he thought was
holding a handgun into an abandoned building, then shoved the barrel of his
service gun “deep down” the man’s throat, held a Taser to his groin and threatened
to kill him if he didn’t say where the gun was, prosecutors said today.
Cmdr.
Glenn Evans, 52, was charged with aggravated battery and official misconduct
after DNA taken from the barrel of his Smith and Wesson .45 caliber handgun
conclusively matched the man’s DNA, prosecutors said.
Editor’s
notes: I understand the action of the
commander. You should know that the gun was not found and the Chief did not kill the suspect. Still, he did go “over the top” and needs to be reprimanded. Investigated? Maybe. Prosecuted? I don't think so, assuming an investigation does not turn up serial police abuse. You might be surprised to read that Eric Holder agrees with my stated position.
Holder’s
DOJ is not going to investigate this matter according to a department
spokesman. So, Holder and folks like me are on the same
page? Not really. Here is why; I see it as a case of a singular act of power abuse by a
police commander trying to solve a crime and prevent a potential act of violence
against another human. Holder sees a
black commander dealing with another black man.
He has stated, as a matter of DOJ
policy, that his agency would not
investigate or prosecute black on black crime.
That’s
the difference.
One view
is based in a practical analysis and a non-biased investigation; the
other is based in a racial context that is biased and lawless, altogether.
The Marxist Media pursues the lie showing the GOP as the do-nothing faction in D.C.

Editor's notes: I actually did not read beyond this headlined wording. Why? Because the article cannot count for much when the headline is so misleading. Understand that the Democrat side of congress has refused to enter into budget debates for five years, now. Their leader (the Muslim sympathizer, B Hussein Obama) can't even compose a worthy budget proposal, his budgets being voted on four different times in the two houses of congress, losing 97 to Zero and 99 to Zero in the Senate, and 414 to Zero and 416 to 2, in the House.
But, more than this, the House has sent 257 bills to the Senate with absolutely no action taken by Reid. Reid, no friend to the American Democratic Process, has refused to even allow Senate discussion on any of these bills, yet, stands up, from time to time, and condemns the GOP as a do-nothing party.
You can thank the Leftists at Politico for this misleading "news" article.

The Kyoto
Treaty officially collapsed in 2009,
when a conference of Utopian World Leaders (including Obama), gathered in
The NY Times breaks this
news, with these words:
In preparation for this agreement, to be signed at a
United Nations summit meeting in 2015 in Paris, the negotiators are meeting
with diplomats from other countries to broker a deal to commit some of the
world’s largest economies to enact laws to reduce their carbon pollution. But
under the Constitution, a president may enter into a legally binding treaty
only if it is approved by a two-thirds majority of the Senate.
Turns out,
Obama believes he and his Utopian friends can shame non-compliant nations, into cooperation. Clinton Administration representatives, admit that a legally binding treatise is
impossible, at this time; as silly as it may sound, public shaming is the only remaining course
of action. But,
whoever said that Obama was not about “silliness” when trying to do the
impossible?
How
concerned should we be regarding this new
Utopian scheme?
(Perhaps) All we
have to do is look to Kyoto
If you
are not aware, “Kyoto
Of the
191 countries signing onto the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, including “big polluters" such as Iraq, Afghanistan,
Iran, Uganda, the Dominican Republic, Senegal, and Gambia, only 31 nations cut “green house emissions”
in 2012. There are no stats for the
2013.
Neither
the U.S. nor China signed onto this UN treatise, Australia (a signee) increased its emissions by
8%, in 2012, Russian and India Kyoto
Understand
that Kyoto was only and always a marketing
plan, by the United Nations, under the guise of “climate control, to redistribute the wealth of the Industrialized
World, and, especially the US
While the
treaty was created in 1997, the Earth’s
warming trend, came to a screeching halt
beginning with 1998, and has continued
to puzzle the Utopian Scientific community since that time, up to and including 2014.
The power
of enforcement, under the new
Obama/Utopian World scheme, is “public shame.”
That’s right: the new proposition
being developed, would shame countries
who do not sign onto the new agreement or comply with its standards. Understand this: Kyoto
Keep in
mind that Obama has worked outside the rule of American law, from Day One of his Administration. He has never considered the US Constitution, a "white man’s document," to be a rule of law that binds his office to
any specific course of action, in spite
of his rhetoric, otherwise. Understand that when rhetoric is countered or
contradicted by action, the rhetoric is
nothing but words, presented to deceive . . . .
ala all that BS preceding the passage of ObamaCare.
While the
following news (per the NY Times article, cited below) is
disturbing, there really is no reason to
believe that this “run-around,” dictatorial and imperialistic move, will have any lasting value or force. Of
course, should this become accepted law
without the benefit of process, the
Utopian Progressives will use it to transfer wealth, while the those who do not agree with this
non-treaty treaty, will simply ignore it
or cut off funding for the program.
Understand
that such a “treaty,” pressed into force
without the benefit of American Law,
will move us a bit more to the Left,
but will not be any more a benefit to the World’s environmental economy
that was/is Kyoto
The Times article, found here, admits to the failure of Kyoto, and offers little hope, within the words of the article, that this new agreement/scheme between Obama and
the United Nations, will ever
succeed. The Times gives us this caveat:
In seeking to go around Congress to push his
international climate change agenda, Mr. Obama is echoing his domestic climate
strategy. In June, he bypassed Congress and used his executive authority to
order a far-reaching regulation forcing American coal-fired power plants to
curb their carbon emissions. That regulation, which would not be not final
until next year, already faces legal challenges, including a lawsuit filed on
behalf of a dozen states.
But unilateral action by the world’s largest economy
will not be enough to curb the rise of carbon pollution across the globe. That
will be possible only if the world’s largest economies, including India and China
So, the worrisome beat goes on, as the Utopian/World Without Borders
constituencies, continue to move away from democratic processes and real time
solutions to a problem created more in their minds eye, than in reality.
Sadly, there are no guarantees that sanity or
national sovereignty will survive the antics of the current academic onslaught. In fact,
if “we” cannot win the next two elections, chances are the evil amongst us, will rule the day.
Update on Occupy D.C. and the driving force it has within the current Administration.

Article has strong reader appeal
Preface: I believe that we better understand what is happening in Washington, if we realize that Obama is using the divisive processes of "Occupy" and its resulting chaos, to circumvent Congress and practice an imperial presidency, unique to his Administration. It is not an "accident" that Obama has refused to compromise with Congress or pursue congressional diplomacy. Indeed, he would rather pretend that Congress is his problem (including members of his own party) in order to justify his unilateral an imperial presidency. We know this because - and this is very important - we know this because this is exactly what he has done. Understand that this post does not speculate as to his purposes. Rather, it only uses Obama's actions to define his ultimate intentions. Occupy D.C. has been successful in creating the so-called "Dream Act," a limited "amnesty" for illegal youth crossing over the Southern Border as of two years ago.
Occupy has created thousands of pages of environmental rules and has all but destroyed the coal industry, assuming such restrictions remain in force over the course of the next three/four years.
Occupy continues to write law into ObamaCare. A recent addition, not included in the legislation, has taxpayers funding "gender reassignment," fulfilling the physical fantasies of a few, very disturbed humans, disappointed that they were born with a given gender. Rather than counseling these people into accepting reality, Obama has empowered them to pursue their silliness.
Occupy D.C. has destabilize Libya, supported the Hamas/PLO alliance, paid ransoms for hostages, tried to form alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood and has made unilateral decisions to ignore missile defense treatise already in place with Poland and the Czech Republic, and pursued policies that have allowed Iran to become a nuclear power.
Occupy D.C. no longer enforces black crime through its Department of Justice, manages a full-blown campaign against conservative groups it sees as dangerous to its agenda via the IRS, and manages an open border between Mexico and our bordering states.
Obama's Occupy D.C., chooses which laws it will obey and/or enforce and has no regard for the Constitution, except with it can be used to justify its own lawlessness.
Understand the House of Representatives no longer is willing to pass "comprehensive" legislation of any kind, in view of the fact that such legislation does not bind this Administration to any prescribed course of action. Instead, Occupy (via Obama) uses new legislation as a forum to rewrite those laws to suit its own purposes -- illegal
activity that Obama gleefully tells those who object, "Sue me."
He is above the law and knows that no one can or will do anything to stop him. As a consequence, Congress has stopped sending him major legislation. Indeed, if they will not throw this bum out of office, they need to stop feeding his lust for power . . . . and they have.

Warren Buffet, as big a hypocrite as lives in the political world, a supporter of Obama, is funding 25% of Burger King's purchase of a Canadian food chain, as it uses that acquisition as an opportunity to officially move its headquarters from the US to Canada, avoiding the repressive taxation that is current US policy. The Administration wants to criminalize such moves, but, as yet, does not have the support in Congress, to do so.

Article shows moderate reader interest
From the Daily Mail because the Marxist Media did not want to report: A U.S. government lawyer has conceded that tens of thousands of long-missing emails belonging to former IRS official Lois Lerner – messages the Obama administration has claimed were lost in a 2011 computer crash – were safely backed up along with the computer records of every other federal employee.
The
documents are key to a congressional investigation into a political targeting
scheme Lerner allegedly masterminded, which involved singling out conservative
nonprofits for especially intrusive scrutiny – based on words in their names
like 'tea party' or 'patriots' – when they applied for tax-exempt charitable
status.
Judicial
Watch president Tom Fitton, whose group is suing the IRS over its failure to
provide the records to Congress, said Monday that the revelation came on Friday
from an attorney who works in Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice
Department.
'All the
focus on missing hard drives has been a diversion,' he said. 'The Obama
administration has known all along where the email records could be – but
dishonestly withheld this information. You can bet we are going to ask the
court for immediate assistance in cutting through this massive obstruction of
justice.'
