Airline Roulette

The crash of the Egyptian airlines this morning now looks very much like it was brought down by a bomb placed aboard by Muslim terrorist(s) ... killing 66 people. Now the Paris authorities are focusing in on the service personnel at Charles de Gaulle airport as a possible source of the smuggling on of an explosive. Now, France has quite a few immigrants from Muslim countries working in its services industries there ... and, since it seems that a portion of such immigrants have ISIS leanings, the chances for more such airline bombings seem to be significant and growing.

Conclusion: flying on airlines these days seems to carry with it a non-zero probability, sometime during your flight, you will hear a large bang and realize, as your stomach moves into your throat and you see your plane disintegrating around you, that you are in for some serious pain ere you are no more. Can we call this airline roulette? Of course the chance of such a catastrophe is not one out of six like with a gun ... at least not yet. But the chances are large enough ... particularly if flying out of France, England, Germany, Belgium, Egypt, or many other countries where liberals might have convinced themselves that loving all Muslims ... and not admitting that some might be jihadis ... is the Christian thing to do.

I know that Donald Trump is xenophobic and is claimed to be a chief reason why ISIS is recruiting many new terrorists. But, on the other hand, I suspect that Josh Earnest, John Kerry, President Obummer and many more of our Washington pajama boys who insist on more Muslim immigration ... and on wearing Islam-terrorist blinders, are far more dangerous than The Donald for increasing the bad airline-roulette odds for the next time I (or you) fly.

Delusions

President Obama's press secretary, Josh Earnest called the the latest Iraqi city to fall to ISIS, Ramadi, a "village" yesterday ... and downplayed its loss. This exemplifies just how delusional this White House is regarding what ISIS is achieving militarily in Iraq and Syria This plum is now added to Fallujah and Mosul as key Iraqi cities which the United States had spent many lives and treasure to capture from previous Islamic extremists ... but which now have been handed back to ISIS  (along with numerous tanks, Humvees and heavy weapons) by our fumbling, bumbling administration and the inept Iraqi army, Now we can also add to this the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra ... also seized by ISIS this week ... see: New York Times Article.

Actually "delusional" is a favored word of the columnist Charles Krauthammer when describing the Obama administration's dismissal of these ISIS advances ... see: Brietbart Story. And Krauthammer chooses this word with authority ... he started his professional life as a psychiatrist.

Do our fools in the White House believe that they can say anything that flies in the face of the facts and the American people will buy it? I suppose so ... since they have be doing it successfully for years now.

March Madness

President Obama will likely not be listening to all of Netanyahu's speech to Congress tomorrow as he has much more important things to do according to his spokesman, Josh Earnest ... see: Politico Article. My best guess is that he will be doing his March Madness brackets ... the event he clearly prioritizes ... next to golfing and surfing in Hawaii.

I suppose that we have gotten used to such administration media-relations lunacy out of those who wiggle under Valarie Jarrett's thumb ... particularly during these vital basketball championships. After all ... what is the relative import of an Israeli incineration by Iranian atomic weapons?

Mouthpieces

In a way I pity the poor Obama administration's mouthpieces ... for they clearly are living under rigid constraints about what they can and cannot say ... even when they are constantly beaten up in the process. Josh Earnest, the administration's press secretary (and his predecessor, that common streetwalker, Jay Carney), Bernadette Meehan, the National Security Council spokeswoman, the State Department's Spox, Marie Harf (you know, the blond bomb-shell wannabe) ...  and even some of the Defense Department shills.  All of them must embrace the tortured and often inane language that is obviously imposed from above when they are issuing statements about the latest ISIS atrocities ... saying 21 Egyptian citizens instead of 21 Coptic Christians were beheaded in Libya ...required to say that Islam is a religion of peace ... and pointing to the gang affiliation of the latest Copenhagen gunman and not his Muslim motivations.

Can we say that these language constraints come directly from the president? It is not a stretch to so conclude ... since he himself goes to remarkable lengths to call the shooting at a Kosher deli in Paris "random" ... to say that ISIS is not Islamic ... and will only use the term "radical extremism" when we all know the source of 99.9% this blood-lust is some of the teachings of Mohammad.

Priorities

I don’t particularly like Bill O’Reilly as I find him a little too pompous for my taste. Anyhow, last night I did happen to be watching him as he was interviewing Josh Earnest, the Obama administration’s press secretary, regarding Islamic terrorism and their recent attacks in Paris. O’Reilly was on a rant and tore Earnest a new orifice. In particular, after ticking off the numerous recent horrendous incidents of Muslim butchery, O’Reilly asked him what was Obama’s strategy for defeating the worldwide Jihadist movement. The usually glib Earnest said that Obama did not have one! Oops!

However, our fearless leader apparently did spend his 17-day Hawaiian vacation coming up with another government spending program to appease his base … taxpayer-funded (China-funded, actually) free two-years of community college. I’m so glad that our president has his priorities straight.
