So, how are things in Wisconsin, really? Answer: looking good for the Conservative Revolution.

Walker has labor reeling in Wisconsin . . . At the old union hall here on a recent afternoon, Terry Magnant sat at the head of a table surrounded by 18 empty chairs. A members meeting had been scheduled to start a half-hour earlier, but the small house, with its cracked walls and loose roof shingles, was lonely and desolate. “There used to be a lot more people coming,” said Magnant, a 51-year-old nursing assistant, sighing. Washington Post

Editor's notes: for the sake of accuracy, Walker ended collective bargaining for the unions' legacy programs, NOT collective bargaining for wages. The benefits that were in place, before the law was changed, still exist. Union folks still get those benefits. So why are they leaving the unions? Because of union corruption and forced payment of dues for political issues many members do not support. About a third of union membership has walked out the door since their wages were freed from union demands. This is a problem created by union bosses and whiners who can't make on their own, without forcing others to support their benefit programs.

I told you so . . . . . . proving Obama is no friend of Israel or an enemy of structured jihad. (updated)

Iran to be permitted phased ramp up of nuclear activities . . . The United States and Iran are shaping the contours of a deal that would initially freeze Tehran's nuclear program but would allow it to slowly ramp up activities that could be used to make nuclear arms over the last years of the agreement's duration. Associated Press

Editor's notes: I, for one, never doubted Obama's allegiance to a nuclear Iran. The political game is rather clear: pretend to be concerned about Iran's nuclear threat to the region and Israel (that pretense keeps you in office) while using "sanctions" as an effective stalling mechanism, and to stall long enough to allow Iran to reach a point of no return, as to its quest for nuclear weaponry.

No wonder Obama targeted Omar Giddaffi; the man surrendered his nuclear arsenal to George Bush. Whatever is going on in the duplicitous mind of Obama, peace for a sovereign and free Israel is not a priority. If you understand that Obama is a Jew-hating politician just like his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, then you have context for what the man is doing.

Update: More than Giddaffi, nothing demonstrates Obama's commitment to Shaira Law more clearly than his support and allegiance with the Muslim Brotherhood. The reason Obama has cut off military aid to Egypt (didn't know about that ?) was President Sissi's decision to support the Egyptian military's ouster of the Brotherhood from national governance. Understand that the Brotherhood is hated by virtually all Middle East nations. Obama supports the Brotherhood in spite of this fact, in spite of the FBI's red flag as to this radical, terrorist, organization. It was the Muslim Brotherhood that murdered the popular Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, back in the 1980's. And "support" is not the full story. Brotherhood members are part of his advisory corps, the same advisory panel that enlists the services of Al Sharpton. No president in our history has ever even thought of using Sharpton or the Brotherhood as advisers. This fact, alone, frames the radical nature of the Obama Administration.

Seriously, the State Department is spending as much effort in its hashtag "diplomacy" as anything it is doning to fight terror. Now you know why the world is laughing at the United States.

She is spokesman for the State Department.

Anyone know who James Taylor is? A great singer out of the 60's stoner/free love movement that lifted up Karl Marx as some kind of genius, a movement of peace, love, and flower power.

Anyone know who James Taylor is? A great singer out of the 60's stoner/free love movement that lifted up Karl Marx as some kind of genius, a movement of peace, love, and flower power. John Kerry was of that day and time, as was I (editor of this blog). And now, 50 years later, John Kerry has decided to take the 1960's to France. Don't you know that James Taylor had to felt he was doing something rather awesome? Image what this retired stoner was thinking as he sang this song. And how embarrassing this is for the nation. You cannot see Kerry's face as Taylor sings, but he was closing his eyes and grooving to the music, just like in the good old days, when he was backstabbing his military buds, attending "hootenannies," and doing all that he could to help the enemy win the Viet Nam war. What a laughing stock we, as a nation, must be as the world of our enemies looks on, and makes jokes about our once great nation - - - - - - and no one in the WH gets it.

Rudy's speech blasting Obama and this head-in-the-sand Administration: Part II

Great Brittain and Israel have decided to make this fighter jet the show piece of their new air force(s).P

<<< Baddest plane on the planet but Obama and some in the GOP prefer a hash-tag offensive.

Israel snaps up 14 F-35 stealth fighters

$2.82-billion deal allows for the purchase of a further 17 planes and includes integration of weapons, avionics

Editor's notes: While Obama and a Republican House voted against the F-35, back in 2011, Israel buys 14 from Lockheed at $110 million per plane.

Flower Power and a hash-tag war for the children running our foreign policy, by real men dealing with real problems, get ready for the inevitable.

The "big boys" have come to town, and Walker is unimpressed. Salute !!

HOW IT'S PLAYING - "Walker feeling the heat: He says he's ready for 2016 but the Wisconsin governor hasn't faced anything like this," by James Hohmann: "After a barrage of recent criticism for not answering questions about foreign policy or evolution, and not speaking up after Rudy Giuliani accused ... Obama of not loving America, it was more of the same for Walker on Saturday. During gaggles with reporters at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington, he was hounded by questions about whether he agrees with Giuliani. ...
"He is trying to position himself as a candidate who can bridge the establishment, tea party and evangelical wings of the party. Late Saturday afternoon, he went to the offices of Americans for Tax Reform for a meeting with fiscal conservative luminaries, including Grover Norquist.
"Walker was by far the biggest draw at the governors' event at the JW Marriott, and the contrast with other likely 2016 Republican candidates was conspicuous. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, coming off a banner year as chair of the Republican Governors Association, avoided the media and spent Saturday in private meetings before leaving town." http://politi.co/1wd3bIa

Editor's notes: "Walker feeling the heat . . . . hasn't faced anything like this." So James Hohmann arrogantly wants you to believe that Politico and the national media are the "big boys." The implication is this: "If we had been in Madison, Walker would not be governor, today."

But Politico and the "big boys" were there. That was their best opportunity to knock Walker out of the presidential race, forcing him out as Governor. No, "they" were all there and failed . . . . . miserably. Not answering questions about evolution, or Giuliani's rhetoric, or whatever they think is the next "big story" about Scott Walker . . . . . . none of that will stick to the man. Short of a real scandal, Walker is free to craft his own future. Hey, they did not vett Obama. Instead, they committed themselves to the opposite approach.

I am hoping that the GOP candidates refuse to be "vetted" by a press so biased, they actually believe that "this is no time for objective journalism." In fact, I listened to Chris Matthews make that statement on more than one occasion, seven years ago. I doubt anything has changed.

The GOP needs to present itself to the people of America, without the lens of Marxist, One World, Utopian flower power on display. Its time for the adults to run the county.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
