NATIONAL SECURITY IN A NUTSHELL

As it turns out, the guy who penetrated White House security got all of the way into the White House, up the stairs, into the East Room and was on his way into the Emerald (Green) Room when Secret Service finally brought him down.  I mean, he was literally footsteps away from the Presidential quarters. 

There are important lessons to be learned from this.  First, the Administration lies through its teeth, even when it comes to its own security.  The original story, as you will recall, was that they stopped the guy "just inside the White House Door."  Secondly, if the White House cannot secure itself against outside attack, how can you expect its occupants to protect the nation? 

Now, who's in charge of the guys who secure both the White House and the nation?  Is the "Omnipotent One" going to blame James Clapper? 

THOSE DAMNED ROOSTING CHICKENS

What a prophet Jeremiah Wright was when a was preaching about American chickens coming home to roost.  Now, if he'd only used the word "Obama's" instead of "America's."  

Cluck, cluck.  

THE FRENCH BEHEADING

An Algerian extremist group linked to i.s.i.s. has beheaded a French hostage in retaliation for France’s airstrikes against militants, French President Francois Hollande confirmed Wednesday. In the video, masked gunmen pledged their allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and said they were fighting his enemies. They criticized the French attacks in Iraq as well as its intervention against radical Islamists in Mali.  

I do not think Hollande headed for the golf course after making the announcement. 

ON THAT MISSILE STRIKE AGAINST KHORASAN...

Breitbart is reporting we fired off 40 missiles against a 50-man Khorasan group.  (Does that mean that 10 of them got away?)  

And I was worried about how efficient those doctors, lawyers and barbers from Syria were going to be.   

LERNER: "UP YOURS"

Lois Lerner, certainly no relation to Lois Lane, said over the weekend that she has no regrets for the things she did while in the I.R.S. and she doesn't see that she did anything wrong. 

And that, of course, is why she took the Fifth. 

(I'd send her an email, but is would certainly disappear.) 

I TOLD YOU SO

There's a growing and unified chorus of top military advisers, both retired and still on active duty, who are coming forth and saying Obama "blew it" when he didn't arm the Syrian rebels two years ago.  Now, they say, it may well be too late. 

And we want to follow this brilliant military strategist in the White House into war against I.S.I.S. with our hands tied behind our backs? 

We're to blame; we elected and reelected the jackass. 

IS WIND ENERGY SAFE?

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/20/Environmental-researcher-wind-industry-riddled-with-absolute-corruption

And I thought all of the hot-air winds originated in Washington D.C.  

IRAQ: UP JUMPS THE DEVIL!!!

Iraq's new Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi,  told the Associated Press on Wednesday that his country does not want foreign troops troops on the ground in Iraq's against the Islamic State group.He insists that air strikes, while helpful, must be approved and coordinated by Iraq in advance. 

Will someone in high places in Washington please get their shit straight? 

COMBAT 101

So, there I was in a foxhole about 150 yards from the I.S.I.S. enemy.  My companions, a Syrian rebel and an Iraqi army sergeant, were dead in the foxhole next to mine.  I had my carbine to my shoulder, the leader of the I.S.I.S. unit in my sights and I was about to squeeze the rigger when my unit commander hollered, You can't shoot, son!  You're in a non-combat, advisory only role!"  

What a fine kettle of soup this government is leading our military and this country into.  

I.S.I.S. NOT OBAMA'S NUMBER ONE PRIORITY

The FOX NEWS CHANNEL reported over the weekend that its dwindling military capability is stretched so thin that it has had to pull personnel from counter-terrorism assignments to handle the Ebola epidemic.  A senior military official told Fox that General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a recent meeting that ‘the Department of Defense’s number one priority is combating Ebola. 

I assume the number two priority is taking care of the kids at the southern border and somewhere down around tenth or eleventh we get to I.S.I.S.

Now, who do you suppose is to blame for establishing this priority? 

BENGHAZI: IS HILLARY TO BLAME?

We now learn that Clinton's Chief of Staff and assistant were actively engaged in "scrubbing" Benghazi documents that were the subject of Review Board investigation.  Cheryl Mills is said to have indicated the scrubbing was being done upon "orders" from the 7th Floor of the State Department, being Hillary Clinton's office.  

We don't know what was in those documents, of course, or whether they implicated Clinton even Obama were involved in something illegal or unethical.  We do know that it would not be the first time that Clinton was involved in missing documents on critical issues.  

I'd like to know why it took two years for this to come out and who is to blame for the coverup: Is it Obama, Clinton or both? 

OBAMA'S DEFIANT GOLFING

Once again, Obama took to the airwaves over the weekend and expressed sympathy and "concern" about another I.S.I.S. beheading, and then again headed for the golf course.  

That's twice.   

How's about that for "In your face," America? 


Well, maybe you can't blame him.  After all, he's foisted the problem of I.S.I.S. off on other nations now, so he is no longer responsible for what happens. 

He's so cool. 

ANOTHER BEHEADING: BLAME GEORGE WASHINGTON

I.S.I.S. has lopped another head and put it up on television for the world to see.  This time, it was a Brit.  The time is getting closer when Obama simply must sit down in the Rose Garden and have a beer with these guys.  Maybe we could do a pussy-foot two-step dance around the fact that nice, neat and sanitary drone strikes are not going to win the day.  

And how did we get to this minute in time?  Blame George Washington; he's the one who set us on this ridiculous course of freedom, independence and justice in the first place. 

WHY TAHMOORESSI IS STILL IN A MEXICAN PRISON?

Our government is surely doing everything it can to get Tahmooressi out of that Mexican jail; they're even writing letters to each other about it!  

Dear 

 

Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the detention of Andrew Tahmooressi.  I appreciate the time you took to write, and I apologize for the delay in my response.

 

On March 31, 2014, after crossing the border into Mexico, Andrew Tahmooressi, a U.S. Marine Corps reservist who served two tours in Afghanistan, was arrested by Mexican law enforcement officials for the possession of three guns and ammunition in his vehicle.  After weeks of being held in the La Mesa Penitentiary in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, Mr. Tahmooressi has been transferred to the El Hongo prison outside of Tecate. 

 

I appreciate your concerns about Mr. Tahmooressi's imprisonment and his subsequent treatment in the La Mesa Penitentiary.  I believe we owe a debt of gratitude to Americans who have served to protect our country, and we must work to ensure the law is upheld in the United States and Mexico.  You may be interested to know that my staff has contacted the U.S. State Department to inquire about Mr. Tahmooressi's well-being and to ensure that he is receiving proper care as a U.S. citizen.  The State Department, through the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, is providing consular services to Mr. Tahmooressi in order to ensure his safety, well-being, and legal rights are upheld.  The State Department and Embassy officials will continue to work with him while his case proceeds through the Mexican judicial system. 

 

Please know that I have noted your concerns, and will keep them in mind as I continue to monitor this case and work to ensure that all of Mr. Tahmooressi's rights are upheld.

 

Once again, thank you for writing, and I hope you will continue to keep me informed about issues of importance to you.  Should you have any further comments or questions, please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C., office at (202) 224-3841 or visit my website at www.feinstein.senate.gov.  Best Regards.

Sincerely yours,


  Dianne Feinstein
         United States Senator

ISLAMIC DEATH THREATS: UP JUMPS THE DEVIL

I just happen to be reading the Bible... first time... and I'm at Numbers 3:10 where God is talking to Moses about having Aaron and his tribe be His priests, "and if anyone else comes near, they shall be put to death."  In other words, slay the non-believers?  

I'm just posing the question here: Why are we so upset when the Islamists want to do the same thing to us?  Who is really to blame here? 

DON'T BLAME OBAMACARE?

The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts that the United States will face a shortfall of more than 90,000 doctors by 2020, due in part to an increase of insured Americans seeking care under the Affordable Care Act. 

The shortage is also being driven by "the cumulative effect of the [mounting] increase in regulations, decreased reimbursements, and cost of living that keeps going up," Michael Murphy, co-founder of the medical information group ScribeAmerica, told NEWSMAX.

They are now saying the use of nurse practitioners can help to alleviate the shortage.  Already, they are admitting the quality of health care HAS to go down under ObamaCare.  

DON'T BLAME OBAMA

TONIGHT'S SPEECH

Records show that whenever Obama takes to the tube to deliver a speech... 83.5% of Americans either turn off the TV or change channels to MTV. 

BLAME AMERICAN IGNORANCE

THERE'LL BE HOT TOMALES ON THE WHITE HOUSE DINNER TABLE TONIGHT

“Instead of doing what’s right for the economy, farm workers and the country, he broke his promise to the millions of immigrants and Latinos who are looking for him to lead on this issue in the wake of Republicans’s dysfunction and obstruction,” said Arturo Rodriguez, president of the United Farmworkers Union. 

LERNER EMAILS NOT MISSING

Government lawyers have admitted to Judicial Watch that Lois Lerner's emails at the I.R.S. were in fact backed up.  The position of the I..R.S. is that retrieving them from the backup files is too onerous and they therefore have no intentions of complying with Congressional demands that the emails be produced. 

TROOPS CONFUSED

Troops in Iraq are confused and frustrated.  Biden says we are going to chase these terrorists to the gates of hell and Obama says we are simply going to shrink I.S.I.S. and then "manage" them.  One G.I. in Iraq is wondering how our forces there can chase terrorists to the gates of hell when they can't even leave the gates of their own bases.  

How can we expect to win anything if our troops don't have clear and concise direction and orders?  I don't think you can blame Bush for this problem. 

IS TERRORIST ATTACK ON 9/11 COMING?

Intelligence sources are reporting that terrorist "chatter" is on an ominous increase as we approach the anniversary of 9/11.  Before Sept. 11, 2001, the intelligence community also saw an uptick in "chatter," but deciphering it has become increasingly difficult according to the Washington Times, because like al-Qaida, ISIS also has targeted the United States. 

Have we increased our terrorist threat level? No.  

Have we increased the level of our defense readiness?  No.  

Who's to blame for this?  Or is it just another one of those Presidential "oversights?"

ANOTHER MASSIVE CREDIT CARD THEFT

This time, as you probably know, it was Home Depot.  If you've ever shopped there and used a credit card, you need to be alerted to possible credit card fraud.  

It seems like more and more major companies have been hacked.  Lately, the perpetrators seem to be coming from Russia and the Eastern Ukraine which is controlled by Russians.  Those in high places think this is a payback Obama's sanctions against Russia and they are undoubtedly correct; at least the Russians are not denying it.   

Someone suggested today that we should pay for everything in cash, and that's not a bad idea except that street thugs would be tipping people over for the cash.  Maybe we should ask Obama to reimburse us for credit card fraud; he's bailing everyone else in the country out. 

I.S.I.S. vs OBAMA IGNORANCE?

Obama has been pleading that his intelligence sources were "not aware" of the extent of I.S.I.S. or its rapid growth, so he was caught unaware and unprepared.  

Reliable Pentagon sources, on the other hand, say that Obama received explicit, and extensive briefings on the threat starting over a year ago. 

This President just lies, lies, lies, lies, lies and lies.  What else do you suppose he's lying about?  HUH? 

NIDAL HASAN

You may not recognize the name.  He was the shooter at the Fort Hood shootings a couple of years back, the guy who yelled "Ali Akbar!" when he started firing.  As you will recall, everyone with any sense labeled him as a terrorist, but Obama and Holder pooh-paned that and labeled him as a mere "criminal," thereby cheating a dozen or so wives and their children out of wartime benefits.  

Well, Nidal has written a letter to I.S.I.S. saying that he would be "honored" to be a member of that movement.  I don't know why they would accept him, being as he is not a terrorist.  

I do know one thing: both Obama and Holder don't know jack shit about terrorism or who is who in terrorist circles, and they may well be to blame for the next ugly attack on our homeland.  Yes, 9/11 is just around the corner.
