Obummer

Vetting

We have been repeatedly assured by the Obummer administration that vetting of individual Muslim immigrants takes two years. Oops, now it seems.that at least 10,000, but more like 36,000 Syrian immigrates are going to be vetted, cleared, settled in the U.S., given Chapter 8 lodging, EBT cards, Obamacare, Obamaphones, voter registration cards, and invites to Hellery.s inauguration ... all before September 30 of this year ... or in just six months. Remarkable! ... see: Washington Examiner Story.

Somehow this previous avowal of a two-year vetting process must have become another inoperative statement ...

More Hazing

As anticipated, Obummer has added another hazing ritual to his last year in office ... his Hell Year as I had predicted. Now the Defense Department has been ordered to respond to and resist the effects of climate change in all of their military planning and operations ... see; Washington Times Article. Can anyone imagine anything more insulting and degrading than this bit of ideological claptrap?

If you didn't follow the above link, let me give you a taste of the meaningless word salad that the military brass is required to serve up in order to stay in favor with the armed-forces antagonists running our country. The speaker is Dakota Wood, a Central Command planner who knows how to woo the White House with these bureaucratic wet kisses:

By equating tactical actions of immediate or short-term utility with large-scale, strategic-level issues of profound importance, the issue of climate change and its potential impact on national security interests is undermined,

Imagine the humiliation that must be felt at the highest level of our military when they are forced into this political straight jacket. Obummer is using them for everything except what they were built and trained to do. He is displaying our proud military like he uses those humiliated stooges standing behind him for many of his Teleprompter speeches ...suggesting the equivalent of approving wallpaper.

I believe this does nothing but show in what low regard our Commander in Chief holds our military.

A Different Yardstick

Read how poorly the Washington Post and John Hinderaker view Obummer's opening of relations with Cuba has progressed ... see: Powerline Blog Post. But then again, Obummer measures success with a different yardstick. If someday Cuba does reform ... say after the Castro brothers assume room temperature ... Obummer's worshippers will credit his grace.

Soft Tyranny

Governments, it seems, cannot resist the temptation to centralize their power at the expense of their citizen's basic freedoms. Just in the last few years we have seen this grab obviously occur in Egypt, Turkey, Russia, Greece, United States and now in Germany. (And I am sure there are others, less obvious ones.)

I just added Germany to this list because Merkel's clueless administration is now looking to suppress growing popular dissent to the massive immigration of Muslims into the country ... see: Breitbart Article. This is exactly the wrong path to take ... for over time it becomes increasingly narrow and therefore more difficult to perform a U-turn.

Funny how installed governments, once they start to govern against the will of their peoples, suddenly want to suppress dissent ... usually with an iron fist inside a velvet glove. We saw how Morsi in Egypt, once freely elected, greedily grabbing power too rapidly ... only to be ousted by the military. Erdogan in Turkey is trying the same power grab ... only at a slightly more leisurely pace. Ditto, Putin in Russia. And here at home we have seen Obummer disregard our Constitution as he would yesterday's newspaper.

Germany's Chancellor Merkel, after a series of boneheaded statements favoring the acceptance of Muslim "refugees," is beginning to realize that she has created a massive problem not just for her country, but for just about the entire European Union. So she is having a few second thoughts ... see: Hot Air Story ... yet still while suppressing dissent.

And, although Angela Merkel has cultivated a right of center image, I think her basic politics are Euro-weenie liberal and, under stress, her true tyrannical instincts seem to be taking over. If her German voters don't shortly turn against her, they might not get another chance so poignant. I'm sorry to say that I just don't trust her.

Settled Science

Obummer has repeatedly quoted that false narrative that 97% of scientists think that there is man-made global warming and therefore "the science is settled" ...  a quote meant to be echoed in the main-stream media in order to shut up the deniers of this clap trap. Such drivel drives true scientists up the wall because they know that there never is any science that is truly "settled." This is not the true nature of science. New information continually causes science to review previous axioms to see if they still hold up ... which often they don't.

Now 300 scientists and economists have signed a letter to NOAA, the keeper of  the primary global temperature data, demanding that it release their undoctored data. This is so other unbiased scientists can use this data use to check the results of the inner circle of those claiming that the Earth is warming ... see: Daily Caller Article.

And this is also because it has recently been revealed that this data has been corrupted by these government "scientists" who felt that they needed to "adjust" this data so that it would agree wth their foregone conclusions. These  conclusions are being refuted by actual results which are not agreeing with their computer models. In other words, if the data does not support the "science," change the data. This is a profound corruption of the scientific method and hiding the original primary data from the rest of the scientific world corrupts this corruption.

More interestingly, since 288 of these 300 letter signers are true scientists, if they perhaps were the full contingent of the 3% deniers in Obummer's oft-repeated quote, the the other 97% would represent 9,600 other scientists who unequivocally support this global warming fiction. It would be very nice and very scientific if Obummer would produce a list of these 9,600 "settled" scientists.

Consequences

It is unclear if the ultimate consequences of Obummer's nuclear pact with Iran were intended or unintended, but it did not take Saudi Arabia long to respond to this deal's opening of the way for Iran to have nuclear weapons. It is now believed that the Saudi's are negotiating with Pakistan, its Sunni partner in the Muslim faith, to acquire one or more nuclear weapons ... see: The Daily Caller Story. It had been predicted that Iran's diplomatic high five with the United States would start an arms race in the Middle East ... and now it seems to be happening. Of course, this development should do nothing but then incentivize Iran itself to disregard the terms of its recent nuclear pact even faster ... and return to its previous nefarious path to its own atomic bomb.

And as a result of the international sanctions lifting, Iran has all those billions of dollars ... not only to recruit more terrorists around the world ... but also the ways and means to deep six the terms of this pact .... and to go shopping for the big banger ... say from North Korea. It's bound to happen.

Good work Botox John and Barry Soetoro!

Jack of All Trades

In a stunning revelation on this morning's TV program "Morning Joe" on MSNBC, Robert Gates, our former Secretary of Defense under both Bush '43 and our current president revealed that, at one of his large staff meetings, Obummer bragged that he could do everyone's job in the room better than they could. Wow! Double wow! This kind of selfie-stick monster ego ... colored by delusion has got to be a first for any president (except maybe Slick Willie).

If this were truly what had been said, then our regal leader has done one of two things ... either surrounded himself with doofuses ... or been ego-massaged to the point of the vainest of vainglory. My guess is that it is a little bit of both. If I could have but one wish that was sure to come true, I would love that this bigger-than-life man-child would be able to read what historians have to say about him in about fifty years. I kinda doubt that they might view him the same way he sees himself today ... in front of his preening, self-loving mirror.

(Perhaps jack-off of all trades?)

The Trump Bandwagon

Let's admit the obvious ... Donald Trump is surging all across the country. He is leading a bandwagon that is big and brash and bold and is not to be denied. Why? Simply because he is saying things that speak to the fears and desires of a great many Americans ... on immigration ... on government corruption ... on the gutting of our military ... on America's diminished status in the world ... on the terrorist threat ... on gun control ... on our poor economy ...  on just about everything. Everything that Obummer has done to try to "change" this country into a third-world hellhole (our just desserts for our evil past) has sparked the blue-collar anger and resentment that is producing those overflow crowds at the Trump rallies all across the country ... see: Breitbart Article ... even in the bluest of blue states, Vermont ... Bernie Sanders' stronghold.

Yes, Bernie Sanders is also speaking to a large audience ... mainly younger Americans who also have been disenfranchised by the cronyism that is rampant in D.C. ... but this audience is not really angry. They are more envious and desirous of a piece of this crony pie ... not the loftiest of ideals. Sanders is playing to this Socialist greed and may well out-promise Hillary. But, in the end, he is just a Pollyanna extension to the failures of Obummer.

Just as Obummer was elected due to the mistakes of Bush '43 ... so Trump is leading his surge based upon the many more mistakes of Obummer. Not the best way to govern a country ... from ice floe to ice floe ... but, unfortunately, the pattern in which we find ourselves. If Trump is elected, will he make mistakes? You betcha! He will likely unleash a racial and class polarization that may well pave the way for a Bernie Sanders-type to take the presidency in eight of twelve years. The suspicions and visceral hatred that the liberal elites feel toward Trump are not all hogwash. Trump is likely to go overboard with many of his fixes to Obummer's excesses ... paving the way for the next political charlatan to fix the fixes.

Such, it seems, is our destiny.

Webbed Feet

Water World (starring Kevin Costner) was a stink bomb of a movie ... it was nicknamed Fishtar. It dealt with our world when all land had disappeared below the waves. Now scientists have returned to this panicky ending of civilization  ... as a result of ... you guessed it ,,, global warming. And when we all will need to deal with these rising waters (I thought Obummer was going to fix that), we will have evolved physically with webbed feet, gills and cat's eyes ... see: Climate Depot Bit of Hysteria. Another stink bomb.

I think that many "scientists" these days somehow have lost their way ... and, like most people in our social-media world, are just interested in making headlines.

Nose Tweaking

For the second time in two weeks Iran is tweaking the nose of the United States just days before we are scheduled to release $100 billion of its funds that have been been frozen for years. First it shot rockets across the bow of the U.S. aircraft carrier, Harry S. Truman in the Gulf of Hormuz ... see: NBC Story. And then on the eve of Obummer's State of the Union address, this band of militant mullahs took hostage 10 U.S. sailors after their two boats wandered into Iranian-claimed waters in the Persian Gulf ... see: Washington Post Article. And even more, last Fall, Iran tested a ballistic missile in violation of United Nation's sanctions ... see: Reuters Article. All these nose tweaks are conveniently ignored and swept under the carpet so that the so- called nuclear agreement with Iran is not compromised. (An agreement, by the way, Iran has yet to sign.)

Success!

When Obummer first took office, Rush Limbaugh issued that famous quote, "I hope he fails." Well, unfortunately, Rush was wrong ... and Obummer, over seven years, has experienced fairly wide-ranging successes with his objectives ... many, I am sure, we will hear about this Tuesday night.

He has pulled our troops out of Iraq. He has orchestrated a surge of troops in Afghanistan, "the good war." He has gotten his health care reform, Obamacare, passed and now implemented. He has opened our borders to many tens of thousands of "dreamers," or young illegal Mexican and Central American immigrants. He has also admitted tens of thousand of legal Muslim immigrants. Through the Muslim Brotherhood, he helped spawn the Arab Spring and all the changes it caused in the Middle East. He overthrew the Kadaffi government in Libya. ዕብያ።With the generous help of the Federal Reserve Bank , he has reduced the national unemployment rate to 5 %. He has drawn attention to possibly illegal police shootings throughout the country.  He has waged a relentless war on domestic "assault weapons." He has negotiated a nuclear limitation agreement with Iran. At the Paris Climate Conference he has focused world attention on global warming. He has gone a long way toward closing the Guantanamo Bay prison. He has championed a new free-trade pact with the Far East. He has gotten his most recent $1.1 trillion omnibus budget passed ... funding most of his residual objectives.

All this while enjoying himself immensely and playing hundreds of rounds of golf all around the United States.

Of course many of these successes have also had a dark side ... but we will leave them for another time.

Gay Abandon

May I suggest that those of you with delicate sensibilities or who generally discard news that you deem scandalous ... not read this blog post ... for it deals with a subject not discussed in polite society  ... and that is ... that our current president may be bisexual. I now pause ... while most of you click over to the Drudge Report or the Huffington Post ...



Still here? You must be a student of history.  If you have not been exposed to the name "Bathouse Barry," then you are pretty much a babe in the woods concerning Obummer's possible predilection for sexual romps with men. Yes, he is married with two children, but this would not be a first for such a dichotomy of sexual preferences.

There have been a plethora of clues regarding such a possibility ... our president's intimate relationship with his personal trainer, Reggie Love ... Michelle's periodic apparent estrangements from Barack ... the White House being bathed in rainbow colors after the gay marriage decision by the Supreme Court ... numerous unexplained excursions for short private visits with old men friends from his earlier days ... Obama's membership in the "Down Low Club" at the Trinity United Church ... see: WND Story. Or better yet, do your own research on Google ... you will be surprised at the number of hits ... not all believable, but some that are.

So, there is a distinct possibility that the current president of the United States is a secret bisexual ... not that there is anything wrong with that.

Handful

Why does Obummer say that only a handful of detainees released from Gitmo have returned to the battle ... see: The Gateway Pundit? What is a handful? 9? 10? 11? Does he not care that we can check the number? So it turns out to be close to 200 ... quite a difference! Our fearless leader is so driven by ideology and his pledge to close the Guantanamo Bay prison that he tells bald face lie after bald face lie to the American people. I guess he is so used to the media covering up his verbal diarrhea that he doesn't even think to wipe himself.

In this same interview with Yahoo News Obummer would not refer to Jahadi John by his nickname ... he had to call him by his given name, Mohammed Emwazi. Again, Obummer is reverting to his obsessive fear of admitting that there are radicalized Muslims roaming the world. He somehow believes that if he said the word "jihadi," this would betray his longing for this connection not to be made. The columnist, Charles Krauthammer, a former psychiatrist, frequently calls Obummer "delusional." To me, a mere layman, it seems that our fearless leader's psychological malady is much more serious than that.  How about "just plain nuts?"

Fatwa This

The I-word State (an accommodation to Obummer's delicate sensibilities regarding this religion of peace's establishment of a Mideast caliphate) has issued a fatwa decreeing that all children with Down Syndrome and other such birth defects should be murdered ... and so far about 38 such infants, some only a few weeks old, have been so dispatched by this group of M-word extremists ... see: Breitbart Article.

As barbaric and "final solution" like this fatwa sounds ... it differs by only a few months from that advocated by Planned Parenthood here in the United States ... just a thought.

Semantics

There has been a subtle shift in the semantics being used by Obummer and John Kerry when crowing about the squishy results of the Paris Climate Accord. Instead of talking about reductions of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, they are now taking about targeted reductions in "carbon." Now this seems like a trivial difference but it truly isn't. Smoke is comprised mainly of unoxidized carbon and its reduction is a good thing ... with which most civilized people can agree. Whereas CO2 is the source of all life on Earth ... and its reduction is not necessarily a good thing. During the Carboniferous Period (360-300 million years ago) CO2 was 10 times higher than it is today, yet the Earth survived well ... thank you very much.

In fact this 60 million year period in our planet's formation is when most of the oil, coal and natural gas was laid down underground. Ponder on this for a moment. All the lush vegetation that was growing in this CO2-rich environment is the source of most all of the fossil fuels that we use today. 60 million years is 20 times longer than when the earliest man appeared on Earth and 30,000 times longer than the period of time since the birth of Christ. That's a good long time with a whole lot of vegetative growth ... and thus a whole lot of fossil fuels ... much more than I suspect we currently estimate. Yes, some day we will run out... but this is many lifetimes away ... and I believe that our sources of energy then will not be wind ... maybe sunshine ... but more likely safe fission and fusion.

So our administration's purposeful obfuscation of the term "carbon" to imply both smoke and CO2 is disingenuous and purposefully confusing. ... an attempt to lead the uninformed to its way of thinking. How very semantically Orwellian!

Opposites

As a result of a heated family discussion yesterday, the issue of opposites came up ... so I have decided to investigate this subject further. Generally every non-appellative word should have an opposite ... viz: cat vs. dog, winter vs. summer, night vs. day, yin vs. yang, meat vs. fish, love vs. hate, rain vs. snow, fast vs. slow and round vs. square. However, there are some words which either don't have an opposite ... or, if they do, they cannot be expressed in politically-correct society.

For instance what are the true opposites for the following words or phrases:

Feminist?
Jahadi?
Genital mutilation?
Media elite?
Gringo?
Tranny?
Pro-life? (No, it's not really "pro-choice")
Racist?
Red-neck?
Folks? (a favorate Obummer term)
Mafia?
Fly-over country?

Reader(s) with the best set of answers will receive a signed full copy of the Affordable Care Act.

Bile Green

The Obummer administration has just scored another big crony-capital debacle in its thoughtless pursuit of clean green energy ... see:  Breitbart Story. This time the will-o-the-wisp was biofuels and the cost to U.S. taxpayers looks like it will total something like $2.34 billion. The rat hole down which these funds were pored was Abengoa Bioenergy ... a Spanish firm ... showing that our government's poor financial judgement shows no national boundaries.

The project on which so much was squandered was cellulosic biofuels to be produced at the Hugoton, Kansas plant and six other U.S. locations. The Hugoton plant had a projected production capacity of 25 million barrels of ethanol. So far it has yet to sell its first barrel.

Of course this is not this Energy Department's first financial disaster. I have written in the past about a series of other bile green investments ... see: Frugal Green Energy. I choose not to add up the total taxpayer losses from the 13 failed green projects mentioned  ... for I am afraid my head would explode. However, my best guess is that it is north of $50 billion dollars.

Perhaps, if the Department of Energy could have found 97% of all climate scientists (the magic number) to agreed on these investments, it might have had a better batting average ... but I doubt it.

Peacock Tongues

In the corrupt and dying days of the Roman Empire, it's leaders indulged in excesses of all types ... sexual, criminal, foppish and gluttonous. They dissolved precious pearls in their wine and had sumptuous feasts of cock's combs and peacock tongues. I think we are beginning to see a distasteful replication of these Roman indulgences in our current cast of poltroon politicians. A few days ago I predicted the kind of excesses we might see at the recent Climate Summit in Paris ... see: The French Connection. I think I hit the nail on the head:

The above photo displays the extravagant excesses enjoyed by Obummer, John Kerry and other world "leaders" at one of their lavish "down on CO2" feasts in Paris while, at the same time, finding the unmitigated gall to lecture the rest of the world on how we need to do what they say ... and not what they do.

Which way to the vomitorium?

Blame Game

So far this year 41 illegal immigrants have died in just one small stretch of Texas ranch land just over the Mexican border ... see: KRGV News. Whose fault are these deaths? The local ranchers? The U.S. Border Patrol? The  Mexican government? To this observer, it is the entity who has encouraged this border jumping to begin with ... and that is the U.S. government ... or more particularly our "dreamer" president.

Although, I am sure if you asked Obummer, he would blame the Republicans.
