The most openly honest Administration in history (and he can prove it; honest Indian). may prosecute Osama Bin Laden shooter. Sound like a good idea to you??

Reports surfaced Friday that the man known as "The Shooter" could face a criminal investigation for speaking to the news media

Insiders at Fox News Channel said Friday that a two-day documentary featuring an interview with the Navy SEAL who killedOsama Bin Laden will air as scheduled despite objections from the Pentagon.
On Wednesday, Fox News announced that a show called The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden hosted by Washington correspondentPeter Doocy was scheduled for Nov. 11 and Nov. 12, but on Friday the Pentagon toldBusiness Insider that the SEALs and former SEALs who were participants do not have permission to discuss the classified 2011 mission.
The government has never identified the Navy SEALs who killed Bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks of 2011, though they were profiled in the 2012 movie Zero Dark Thirty, which was controversial for its insinuation that waterboarding was an effective tool in gathering intelligence.
The Business Insider story suggested that if Fox News were to run its documentary, the Navy SEAL featured in it could face a criminal investigation. Navy Commander Amy Derrick-Frost, a Defense Dept. spokeswoman, would not confirm whether Fox News even had the correct person who fired the fatal shot.
"The two-night presentation will feature an exclusive interview with the Navy SEAL who says he fired the shots that killed terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden," Fox News reiterated on Friday.
"Revealing his identity and speaking out publicly for the first time, the Navy SEAL, also known as 'The Shooter,' will share his story of training to be a member of America's elite fighting force and explain his involvement in Operation Neptune Spear, the mission that killed Bin Laden," Fox News said.

Colorado Senate Race Update: Early voting has the GOP with 104,000 more votes than the Dems, but we are a long way from being where we want to be. (No article, just this encouraging first report).

Source:  the Associated Press, here.  Of course,  the response of the low-information Utopian class,  the AP is now,  a teaparty representative  . . . . . . . . . .   no doubt.

While Obasma is out doing what he prefers, standing "center stage" before a crowd of admirers, you should know that he is not affecting the midterm results at all. This election was signed, sealed and delivered months ago. We are just waiting for the good/bad news. (no article)

Update on the Louisana Senate race: the current Senator accuses her constituency of being racist and sexist.

Yesterday,  Mary Landrieu was interviewed while out on the streets of Louisana and the following is part of the NBC report.  Before you read,  make note of the fact that she has been elected and re-elected 3 times as House Representative,  has been in elective office since she was 23,  that the previous governor was a women,  the previous major of New Orleans was black ,  the current mayor is Landrieu's relative,  and the current govenor is a brown skin, Bobby Jindal.  AND, never forget,  when the South was overwhelmingly racist, its "party of choice" was "Democrat."  
******
Louisiana Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu said Thursday that the issue of race is a major reason that President Barack Obama has struggled politically in Southern states.
“I'll be very, very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans,” Landrieu told NBC News in an interview. “It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."
Noting that the South is “more of a conservative place,” she added that women have also faced challenges in “presenting ourselves.”

Landrieu: Opposition to Obama based on racism . . . Republicans are calling on Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu to apologize after she suggested Thursday that President Barack Obama's deep unpopularity in the South is partly tied to race. In an interview with NBC News on Thursday, Landrieu was quoted as saying that the South "has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans."
The comments came after an NBC reporter asked the senator why Obama has such low approval ratings in Louisiana. Landrieu's first response was that the president's energy policies are deeply disliked by residents of the oil and gas-rich state. She then added, "I'll be very, very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader." Associated Press
Obama should aggressively repudiate this statement. What a sad thing that instead of healing racial divides, Obama and his aides have taken actions - whether with respect to Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, voter ID, Biden's "back in chains" remark, etc. - that have stoked racial tensions. Instead of taking a leadership role to unify us, Obama has thrown in with the likes to Al Sharpton. It's one of the great missed opportunities of his presidency.

Is Obama politicizing Ebola? . . . President Obama has chosen to make his policy points on Ebola by using the tactics he customarily employs during political campaigns - vilification and straw men – begging the question of whether he is using the Ebola crisis to buttress his own sorry standing with the American people and in the process help Democratic candidates who are being harmed by his tarnished image.White House Dossier
Obama's GOP allies warn against exec action . . . Three of President Obama’s GOP partners on immigration warned him Thursday not to try to act on his own to grant legal status to illegal immigrants, saying the border is not yet secure enough from either illegal immigration or potential terrorist threats. Sens. Marco Rubio, John McCain and Lindsey Graham said in a letter that the president lacks the legal authority to act on his own. Washington Times
DOJ won't prosecute VA wait time cases . . . The Veterans Affairs Inspector General referred at least 17 cases tied to allegations of wait-time manipulation to the Department of Justice for prosecution, and the agency has declined to prosecute all of them.

McCain: Former Gitmo detainees back in action . . . Sen. John McCain says reports of 20-30 former Guantanamo detainees joining the Islamic State (ISIS) and other terrorist groups are nothing new.

Bowe Bergdahl earlier this year definitely re-entered the fight, noting that they had been "judged too dangerous to release." Newsmax

The House of Representatives is more the "house of the people" than the Senate. That being true, Obama has lost to "the people" in every election since his inauguration.

. . . . .  Obama is likely to have the worst midterm numbers of any two-term president going back to Democrat Harry S. Truman.
Truman lost a total of 83 House seats during his two midterms (55 seats in 1946 and 28 seats in 1950), while Republican Dwight Eisenhower lost a combined 66 House seats in the 1954 and 1958 midterms.
Obama had one midterm where his party lost 63 House seats, and Democrats are expected to lose another 5 to possibly 12 House seats (or more), taking the sitting president’s total midterm House loses to the 68 seat to 75 seat range.
(Join us on Election Night: Live Stream With Analysis, Results and More at RollCall.com)
Most recent presidents have one disastrous midterm and another midterm that was not terrible.
The GOP lost 30 House seats in George W. Bush’s second midterm, but gained 8 seats in his first midterm for a net loss of 22 seats. The party lost 26 seats in Ronald Reagan’s first midterm, but a mere 5 seats in his second midterm for a net loss of 31 seats.
Democrats got shellacked in 1994, losing 54 seats in Bill Clinton’s first midterm, but the party gained 5 House seats in 1998, Clinton’s six-year-itch election, for a net Clinton loss of 49 House seats. (The figures don’t include special elections during a president’s term.)

Democrats have a chance to tie the number of Senate losses that Republicans suffered during the midterms of Eisenhower, when the GOP lost a net of 13 Senate seats (12 in 1958 and only one in 1954).Looking at Senate losses, Republicans lost a net of 5 seats in George W. Bush’s two midterms, while Republicans lost a net of 7 seats during Ronald Reagan’s two midterms and Democrats lost a net of 8 seats during Bill Clinton’s two midterms. (Again, these numbers do not reflect party switches or special elections.)

Why the difference between the Left and Right? Well, its not good news, but the reason for the difference involves an illness.

As a demonstration of just how mental the Left has become,  as the result of Utopian nonsense and heavy drug use,  we have this college Halloween costume that has been banned as "offensive."

Not just silly,  this is a sign of a degenerate mental state,  created by the Left.

Think about it.  This bunch will argue that for transgendered rights when everyone knows,  these folks have reality issues.  How nuts is that ?!

They will argue for a healthy economy in spite of the fact that food stamps have double and the number of Americans giving up on ever finding a job is at the highest rate in 36 years.  How nuts is that ?!

They will enable Iran to become nuclear when everyone knows that this will be the end of the State of Israel.  How nuts is that ?!

They will double the price of transportation,  making life that much more impossible for the working poor,  and then tell these same people that they are fighting for the middle class.  How nuts is that ?!

They will vote for a man who promises to be "more flexible" as regards to Russian demands.  How nuts is that ?!

They passed the Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay Act in 2009 and then argue that the GOP opposes fair pay for women. I mean,  "We solved the problem"  but "We did not solve the problem."  How nuts is that ?!

"We have to pass legislation before we can know what is in that legislation."  Seriously,  how nuts is that ?!

"We are the ones we have been waiting for."  Huh ?  Mental illness for certain,  if you believed that crap.

We have 28 Republican governors,  working more years, now,  proving there is no war on women,  yet the Left continues to preach this nonsense.  How nuts is that?

I will vote for Obama because he will make college affordable for me.  After six years,  I have to ask,  How nuts is that ?!

"There is no such thing as 'victory' in our war against terror."  How nuts is that ?!

"If we extend a hand instead of a fist,  our enemies will respect us and peace on earth will become a reality."  Good grief.  How nuts is that ?!

I could go on and on.  Point?  Haven't any of you ever wondered  how the hell the Left can honestly believe some of the fairy tales they claim to be true?  The answer is clear.  Their Utopian fantasies have interfaced with their frontal lobe(s) and rendered them mentally incapable of reasoned political practice.

Its a theory,  but,  over the years,  it has proven to true, time and time again.  And these people (love to) reproduce as much as they love their pot.








The national press allowed Obama's hatred of transparency to fester, and now, they are complaining about his assault on the free press. (video)

Most people do not know or have forgotten that editor's of many of the nation's leading news outlets (NY Times,  LA Times,  network news,  USA Today and the like) met with Obama or his staff,  every morning, for most of his first year in office.  Turns out that this had nothing to do with "openness."  Rather,  it had everything to do with Obama's control of the news cycle effecting his administration.  And when it became irresistibly obvious that he was no friend of the media,  that he had only been using them for his own good,  they committed to an about face.   What USA Today has to say in the video,  below, is true, take that to the bank.  Obama's NSA spying on more than 150 different reporters across the board  (not just Fox Reporters),  his failed prosecution of James Rosen of Fox News and the continued prosecution of  NY Times reporter, James Risen,  is proof of Obama's opposition to a free press.  In fact,  it was Risen who first accused the Obama Administration of being an enemy of the press.  While I do not feel sorry for the press,  I, like so many,  welcome the media's new found responsibilities.   It is passed time and "about time."  



Sounding almost apolgetic,  we have this additional bit of news relating to the theme of this post:

As Twitchy reported, outgoing U.S. AG Eric Holder has revealed that if there were one decision he could make over again, he would have “been a little more careful looking at the language that was contained in the filing that we made with the court. [James Rosen] was labeled as a co-conspirator. You had to do that as a result of the statute, but there are ways in which, I think, that could have been differently, done better.”

James Rosen is not impressed and continues to warn of this Administration's willingness to prosecute whistle blowers and the media when it publishes articles of which our resident tyrant does not approve.

Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson may be fired . . . The first steps in a major shakeup of the Ferguson, Missouri police department – including the resignation of Chief Thomas Jackson – could come as early as next week, according to local and federal officials who’ve been briefed on plans still being worked out by city and state leaders. The plan, described by a source with direct knowledge of the plans as “extremely delicate,” said the details are still being hashed out in closed-door meetings between Ferguson city and St. Louis County officials who have sought consultation from the Justice Department, which is conducting a civil rights investigation into the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August. 
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the plan could include not just the resignation of Chief Jackson but the resignation of Officer Darren Wilson, who shot and killed Brown on a Ferguson street, setting the city into weeks of unrest. A full-scale take over of the Ferguson force by the St. Louis County police could follow. MSNBC

If Wilson's story is correct, and all signs suggest it is, then this is pure mob justice.

White House tries to walk back "chickenshit" . . . The White House on Wednesday sought to tamp down the controversy over a magazine piece that detailed deep tensions between the U.S. and Israel – and quoted an unnamed senior Obama administration official calling the Israeli leader a “chickenshit.”  Administration officials did not deny the quote. They also did not signal there would be any robust effort to find out who said it. But the asserted the criticism does not reflect how the rest of the administration views Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Fox News
Boehner blasts remark . . . House Speaker John Boehner lashed out at the Obama administration for reports that a senior official described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "chickenshit," while another unnamed official described him as a "coward." Boehner said the comments suggesting Netanyahu is more concerned about his political self-interest than forging peace in the Middle East could threaten America's relationship with Israel and the long-term security of the region.Newsmax
Jewish leader demands apology . . . Rabbi Marvin Hier, the founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has called on President Obama to "name, apologize for, and repudiate" the anonymous official quoted in an Atlantic Magazine article describing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "chickenshit." Fox News

Obama scores Ebola policy opponents . . . A visibly agitated President Obama on Wednesday ripped into critics of the U.S. response to the Ebola virus, insisting that his administration was leading the charge to “snuff out” the deadly disease. “When I hear people talking about American leadership and then are promoting policies that would avoid leadership ... [and have us] hiding under the covers, it makes me a little frustrated,” the president said, joined by healthcare workers who treated the disease in West Africa, including American Ebola survivor Dr. Kent Brantly. Examiner

Democrats race baiting to save midterms . . . In the final days before the election, Democrats in the closest Senate races across the South are turning to racially charged messages — invoking Trayvon Martin’s death, the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., and Jim Crow-era segregation — to jolt African-Americans into voting and stop a Republican takeover in Washington.
The images and words they are using are striking for how overtly they play on fears of intimidation and repression. And their source is surprising. The effort is being led by national Democrats and their state party organizations — not, in most instances, by the shadowy and often untraceable political action committees that typically employ such provocative messages. New York Times

I'm trying to decide if this is more pathetic, disgraceful or scary. Democrats will now officially do anything to get elected. 
Millennials back GOP . . . Millennial voters, in a shocking shift, now prefer a Republican-controlled Congress and give President Obama his second lowest grade ever. A new and massive poll of 2,029 18- to 29-year-olds from Harvard’s Institute of Politics just released found that of those who say they will “definitely be voting,” 51 percent want the GOP in charge, 47 percent favoring Democratic control. Examiner

Walker opens up seven-point lead . . . Republican Gov. Scott Walker leads Democratic challenger Mary Burke 50% to 43% among likely voters in the latest survey by the Marquette University Law School. That represents a change from other Wisconsin surveys in recent weeks — including a Marquette poll two weeks ago — that showed the race essentially tied. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Charge: Burke's family fired her . . . In attempting to explain her two-year work hiatus in the early to mid-1990s, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke has said she was just burned out after an intense period of leading European operations for Trek Bicycle Corp., her family’s Waterloo-based global manufacturer. In fact, Burke apparently was fired by her own family following steep overseas financial losses and plummeting morale among Burke’s European sales staff, multiple former Trek executives and employees told Wisconsin Reporter.

Update on the re-election bid of Scott Walker:

Brietbart.com:  A poll released today, the last before Tuesday's election, shows Walker surging to a 50-43% lead.  

The magic 50% mark for an incumbent is a very big deal.
This almost perfectly matches Walker's favorability rating in this poll, which is 50-46%. Walker's job approval among likely voters sits at 52-46%. Among registered voters, it's 49-47%.
The poll's internals show Burke up only six with women while Walker leads by 22 points with men. 
Among registered voters, a less reliable screen, Walker is up by only 1 point, 46-45%.
Momentum at this point in the race is crucial. Walker appears to be peaking at just the right time.

Editor's notes: Understand that Walker won a recall election,  two years ago,  by a 7% margin.  Today,  the socialists within the state's teacher unions,  number nearly 80,000 less in membership.  It is no surprise to me,  that Walker is the front runner in this election - his third in four years.  The recall was the union's best shot at ousting the good Governor.  They spent millions and owned the vote of thousands more,  than this year.  Time will tell the truth,  but I do expect Walker to win his re-election bid.   

Positive proof of massive Democrat sponsored voter fraud in Maryland:

PJ Media:   An election integrity watchdog group is suing the state of Maryland, alleging that it has discovered massive and ongoing fraudulent voting by non-U.S. citizens in one county. But because of the way that the non-citizens are able to cast votes in elections, the fraud is likely happening in every single county and subdivision across the state. The group believes that the illegal voting has been happening for years.


The group, Virginia Voters Alliance, says that it compared how voters in Frederick County filled out jury duty statements compared with their voting records. The group’s investigation found that thousands of people in Frederick County who stated that they are not U.S. citizens on jury duty forms went on to cast votes in elections. Either they failed to tell the truth when they were summoned for jury duty, or they cast illegal votes. Both are crimes. The same group previously found that about 40,000 people are registered to vote in both Virginia and Maryland.

Editor's notes:  What does this mean?  In simpler terms,  we have hundreds if not thousands,  of illegals admitting to their illegal status in avoiding jury duty,  admissions that are in print and signed by the particular immigrant, casting ballots in this year's Maryland midterm election  . . . . . .  and this, ladies and gentlemen,  is what one calls a "smoking gun."    

For years and years,  Democrats have been about changing state voting laws in an effort to make voting registration and the casting of legitimate ballots,  impossible to police or verify.  In 2008,  there were at least 12 congressional districts,  all in predominantly black (and, hence,  Democrat) communities,  in which more people voted than live in those districts   . . . . .   and this kind of criminal nonsense happens every election cycle.  

There is a huge segment within the Democrat Party that actually believes that voter fraud is their responsibility,  that it is a course of action that makes them true patriots  . . . . .   an absolute disgrace and it has been going on all of my adult life.  Time for a change.   

Midterm Update: Answering the question, "Why is this election cycle the best cycle for the GOP since 2008?"

Factors making this year's midterm elections,  a good year for the GOP:  
Obama’s troubles: President Obama’s approval ratings are in the low 40s, and midterm elections are very often a vote against the party that occupies the White House, particularly if the occupant is unpopular.
A great map: This Senate map is the most-Republican leaning of the three Senate classes up for election once every six years. These seats were last on the ballot in 2008, a big Democratic year. American politics is about surges and declines: In 2008 came the surge for Democrats, and in 2014 comes the decline.
Partisan polarization: The increasing partisanship of American politics and the American people makes it harder and harder for Democrats to win in Republican states and districts, and vice-versa. Seven Democrats hold Senate seats contested this year in states that supported Mitt Romney in 2012. Six of those states are very Republican at the presidential level -- Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota and West Virginia -- and Republicans are probably at least slightly favored to win all six of their Senate races. The seventh, North Carolina, is gettable if the GOP has a big night. Republicans only have to defend one seat in an Obama state, Maine, and GOP Sen. Susan Collins has the race all but wrapped up.
Democratic difficulties: The Democrats had a string of Senate retirements in places like Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia, all of which improved Republican odds to win those states. The replacement Democratic candidates in these states have generally been poor, none more so than appointed Sen. John Walsh, whose plagiarism forced him from the ballot in Montana and prompted the Democrats to wave the white flag in a Senate seat they hadnever lost since the advent of popular Senate elections a century ago.
Decent GOP candidates: Establishment-backed Republicans won basically every meaningful Senate primary this year. While some Republican candidates have misfired, like Terri Lynn Land in Michigan, the GOP has not had a clearly disastrous candidacy turn victory into defeat in any single state, unlike 2010 and 2012 -- although David Perdue in Georgia and Thom Tillis in North Carolina are testing this proposition. To the contrary, the Senate candidate this cycle most associated with gaffes is a Democrat, Bruce Braley of Iowa.
Those big factors all point to a good night for Republicans on Tuesday.

The Progressive Dems are running out of voting issues. We can think of four that are at the top of their Progressive list.

Tom Steyer is his name.  He is a multi-millionaire and militant environmentalist,  a fat-cat out Progressive,  in favor of criminalizing opposition speech;  a man who has spent $76 million of his money in this election cycle,  bribing Democrat candidates to push his green agenda in exchange for campaign contributions.  Here is the funny part:  his efforts have failed to generate voter interest in the Militant Green Industry,  and that is the news gem,  in this story.

Turns out that jobs,  the economy,  and what is happening in the Middle East are the most important issues of this year's midterm election.  The "war on women,"  "equal pay,"  and whatever the hell Obama thinks he is doing for the college aged voter,  are worn out issues.  There is no "war on women" or married women would join the singles crowd in this complaint;  the Dems already passed an equal pay bill in the spring of 2009 (Lilly Ledbetter Equal Pay Act of 2009);  and the college aged voter is swimming in college related debt.
