It sure was an interesting GOP debate the other evening in South Carolina.
After an initial coming together to express condolences over the tragic passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (perhaps the worst day for freedom loving Americans since Obamacare was passed), things got rather dicey quickly.
This was to be expected, as South Carolina has in recent cycles been where the gloves come off, and winners and loser are separated.
However, it was particularly ugly on Saturday night, with the majority of the altercations coming, not from those initially attacking front runner Donald Trump, but Trump attacking & his challengers.
Trump labeled Cruz nasty and "the single biggest liar, a real nasty guy who does not get along with any of his colleagues. In a news conference today, Trump essentially went scorched earth on Cruz.
"Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual. He is the single biggest liar I’ve ever come across, in politics or otherwise, and I have seen some of the best of them. His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much".
Trump is feeling heat from Cruz, and unleashed a major attack, however, the Donald was sadly incorrect in his assertions.
I am not seeking a candidate who gets along with Congressional members who are complicit in the destruction of our nation. Cruz called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor, and Cruz was correct in doing so in my opinion.
Given what CNN reported publicly, Cruz is also correct in the dispute with Ben Carson Trump references. CNN is not a sound news organization, which Cruz's team should have known, but with the information out, it was not only appropriate, but a responsible and smart course of action to inform voters. If anyone is to blame, it is Ben Carson for not making his plans known to his supporters to prevent any misconceptions.
And for the record, Cruz is also correct in his ongoing spat with Marco Rubio on immigration.
Then Trump really got going.
First, Jeb Bush has a much more favorable assessment of his family than most do. Most folks think the Bush family are good people, and I certainly do.
As a Floridian, it is my opinion Jeb Bush, whom I voted for, did a great job as governor of the Sunshine State. I gleefully voted for Bush 41 in 1988 but found his performance weak, but supported him again in 1992 against Bill Clinton. I enthusiastically supported Bush 43 in 2000 and in 2004, and while I still consider his presidency successful and know he was far superior to his Democrat challengers, the more time went on the more disappointed I became with his administration. However, my disagreements with 43 are minimal and my admiration for him (particularly as a man of class and honor) is strong. It would be difficult for anyone to no consider the Bush family as a great principled family who care deeply for the United States of America.
But Trump got loose, calling not only the war with Iraq a mistake, but called George W. Bush a liar, commenting that Bush and his team had lied about weapons of mass destruction while saying under 43 "we were not safe".
After being attacked on 9-11, George W. Bush did in fact keep us safe. Many can question the steps he took to make that happen, but we were not attacked again on our soil during his administration, unlike the Obama administration. Argue about the Patriot Act if you please, and I will join you, but to say that Bush did not succeed in keeping America safe while prosecuting a global war on terror war is false.
As far as concluding Bush lied about the weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq, I vehemently challenge that statement as false. There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and they were moved to Syria and are there as we speak. As I noted in a post in December of 2012:
"No longer politically expedient to admonish George W. Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought.
The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it".
I have always personally liked Donald Trump and admired much of his business accomplishment and while he is not my first choice for the GOP nomination, unlike many, I had felt comfortable in supporting him should he win the nomination.
I am now questioning that assessment.
Donald Trump is not an idiot, so I am sure his attacks are based on some level of methodology. However, defeating opponents on merit and on the battlefield of ideas has often been superior to berating with opponents with name calling, lies and threats.
America is some kind of pissed at the establishment of both parties, and Trump has a very unique opportunity before him. However, while I may be wrong, his scorched earth ramblings in recent days may not only burn up his opponents, it may engulf his candidacy as well.
Disagree with their policies as you wish, but I conclude neither Ted Cruz nor George W. Bush (and I note that Bush is no fan of Cruz) are liars. Trump; however, is starting to look as though he may be.
Or maybe this is just South Carolina as usual.

A Despicable Representative of the People
 |
| Sen. Harry Reid (D:NV) |
While America had hoped the citizens of Nevada would have handled this in previous elections, with a significant war chest boisterously buoyed by waves of corruption, Reid has always held off would be challengers.
Now, it appears his health has gotten the best of him. While we wish no political individual ill will in a personal sense to any of those we disagree with politically, we cheer the departure of Sen. Reid, whom we deem a despicable representative of the people.
Sen. Reid is an arrogant liar, with limited respect for the checks and balances instilled by our founders who found the success and advancement of himself and those he supports above the will and future prosperity of the American people. Reid lied on the Senate floor, slandering GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney about having not paid taxes, and assaulted the Koch brothers for no apparent reason.
The damage he has done leading the senate, prohibiting legislation from being voted on and paralyzing the will of the people, is staggering. Beyond that, time and time again, Reid has exhibited disdain for our military. You may recall he said the surge in Iraq was failure and the war was lost.
As we have previously posted, Senator Reid is reprehensible and rancid and the type of individual without a moral compass our founders warned us about.
Supposedly Reid had an early January accident in his home, giving him a shiner to behold; however, that may not be quite true either. Perhaps somebody put five across his eyeball?
While Reid may indeed be in failing health, and many have noticed he has appeared to slip in recent months, could it be that there is anticipation of the GOP holding the White House and the Congress, which may lead to investigations of the mounting evidence of Reid's actions which beg an ethics inquiry?
History will not be kind to this despicable representative of the people. The citizens of Nevada should have booted him years ago, and thanks to their ineptitude, our nation must suffer much of the consequences.

Attacking Allies, Foreign and Domestic
On Tuesday, ISIS slaughtered 22 Tunisian tourists in yet another striking act of mind boggling violent terrorism. They are hacking heads with reckless abandon. One would think our Commander in Chief would be very concerned about such repeated action by these agents of evil.
But what have we found? While finding time to join ESPN to announce his NCAA basketball tournament selections, Obama has struck out in attack. Not against ISIS mind you, but against Israel and re-elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
With our tax dollars, the Obama administration sent operatives over to try to help Netanyahu's opponent win office. While many point to the arrogance associated with Obama, and his juvenile and petulant attitude toward those who dare challenge him, the fact of the matter is far more troubling and dangerous.
Obama is dead set on a two state solution between the Palestinians and the Israelis, which is something Netanyahu could support if he were dealing in legitimate negotiation with a party trusted to adhere to the terms. This simply is not close to reality; therefore, Netanyahu and Israel will not be party to a charade.
Therefore, Obama and his team will flex muscle and attack Netanyahu and Israel for being "uncooperative". Obama Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said today that "an occupation that has lasted more than 50 years must end". With apologies to Obama and McDonough, it is not an "occupation" and for Obama and his team to move toward forcing Israel into such an agreement would be governance against the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly support Israel in this matter.
President Obama and his administration have made effort to make our longstanding allies enemies and our enemies, from those deemed political all the way to those who have initiated and seek out harm to our nation and our people, our friends. Imagine that?
Although few do, I know what I am dealing with President Obama. As we have established in numerous posts, we deem him an anti-colonialist with little regard or appreciation of the traditions and history of this nation. Obama is seeking the rise of the caliphate, the rising of a Muslim nation along the lines of the old Ottoman Empire, which would rival if not totally eclipse Israel in the region.
The conclusions I have drawn might seem extremist when compared to the carefully placed rhetoric presented the American people, but a closer examination of the actions reasonably confirm the findings.
The negotiations Obama has entered into with Iran are a deadly example. Iran, through their militant armies in Hezbollah and Hamas, have been fighting against our troops for decades, and this includes supplying the weaponry used against our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Additionally, Iran has not come close to demonstrating the necessary responsibility and trustworthiness to be a sensible player at the negotiating table.
For President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, to be working a deal with our enemy to allow their ability to gain command of a nuclear weapon, one they profess will be utilized to eliminate Israel, is treasonous in my view.
Do the Democrat members of Congress realize what these two opponents of America are engaged in? Do the American citizens, who voted for these men, have any working knowledge of the serious and dangerous shift in policy being embarked upon. Have they not seen the wreckage that has engulfed the middle east with Obama and his cast of characters in orchestration?
A few weeks back we wondered with others if Barack Obama is the worst American president ever or the first anti-American president? We answered both, and sadly, it is becoming crystal clear for anyone opening their eyes we were correct.
When you place the treatment of Israel, which is without question related to the Iranian negotiations and the efforts at establishing the caliphate with the orchestrated demise of our economy complete with suffocating regulation and taxation, class warfare, political correctness, the degrading of our military and police, the instigation of internal hostilities inclusive of race relations, the adversion to the truth, the takeover of health and education and the attack on Christianity within America, you have all the makings of an administration seeking to take down a country from within.
“The United States will never stop working for a two-state solution and a lasting peace that Israelis and Palestinians so richly deserve,” said McDonough. The Palestinians, led by Iranian proxy fighters Hezbollah and Hamas, deserve no such agreement, as they have in the past and continue as we speak to fight against our armed forces in the region. Those attempting to assist them should be considered as aiding and abetting our enemy, which last I knew, was defined as treason.

Pieces Are Being Placed
As reported by FOX News, filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was sentenced on two weeks ago Tuesday to five years of probation, a $30,000 fine, and eight months in a San Diego “community confinement center” where he will undergo “therapeutic counseling.” No doubt, the ghost of Saul Alinsky will be acting counselor.
The reason we refer to D'Souza is because like few others, he has a clear understanding of who President Obama really is, what motivates him and what goals he has worked on at implementing during his presidency. Time has found D'Souza to be most accurate, perhaps most notably the anti-Colonialism stance Obama inherited from his father and champions somewhat clandestinely.
Why is this important at this juncture in time? I am not sure you want to know.
Remember when President Obama returned the bust of Churchill, a gift to The White House, to Great Britain? This action was not accidental or an error in judgement; this action was born out of a deep resentment, part of Obama's detest of the Colonialist policies of the England and France.
Behind that backdrop, Obama has, in reluctance, began bombing targets housing the lethal terrorist group ISIS, or ISIL, in Syria. Sounds good, as we need to kill these representatives of evil in prompt fashion.
As NewsMax reported, President Barack Obama said Thursday's Senate vote to approve funding to train and equip Syrian rebels shows that Americans are united in fighting the Islamic State (ISIS). The votes provides funding to train Syrian rebels, who may or may not be ready to take on ISIS.
Glenn Beck proposed the Obama administration is utilizing the ISIS threat to arm rebels whose ultimate goal is to overthrow Assad. On the surface, toppling Assad, who is not a good guy, may be a reasonable objective, but their real story is real alarming. Take a few moments to listen to Beck and his thoughts:
After absorbing this information for a few days, coupled with some investigation and study, the premise presented by Beck is deemed most credible. Beck was among the first, if not the only, to describe the goal of a caliphate in the middle east, and that is exactly where we are heading.
I did not specifically recall the Sykes-Picot agreement. Essentially the old Ottoman Empire, the last time the Arab world had a united Islamic state led by a religious leader as Beck points out, was divided up into provinces or states that were to be under British and French control and influence to control and grow safe shipping lanes. It was part of the agreement, however, where negotiated promises of the emergence of a kingdom united called Greater Syria failed to materialize, and this has led to Arab factions, enraged at being slighted, attempting seize control over the area to once again establish a single nation of under Islam; a caliphate.
Most of these groups are what we could consider to be terrorist in nature. Those deemed non-believers who refuse to convert, are not given an opportunity to co-exist, but are labeled infidels and are most often killed.
Under the Obama administration, an objective of toppling dictators in this region opens up the avenues for upstart factions to effort to seize control and reach the goal of establishing the caliphate; a Greater Syria under the control of an Islamic religious leader. Chaos has been the result thus far, not withstanding all the propaganda stating otherwise. The events in Egypt are notably worth recalling.
Should a caliphate be established in the region, along the map of the old Ottoman Empire; if those in control operated without opposition this area, if not challenged, the mapping would not include Israel. Keep in mind there is little doubt of the hostility Obama holds toward Israel, and the Colonial powers of Great Britain and France.
For those living under a tree, please be advised that Obama does not hold Uncle Sam in high regard either, having vowed to transform our nation, a nation he had noted is "based on a a charter of negative liberties, which says what the states can’t do to you, what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf."
Define that as Obama finding America an oppressor nation, and although the premise is false, he aims to direct her transformation through efforts at level the playing field.
Rather than misleading rhetoric, action dictates the marketplace, and Obama has had America orchestrate much of this mid east turnover and chaos, and turned a blind eye at a minimum to actions of countries and groups historically viewed as our enemies.
Last year, Obama spoke to the nation detailing how we must strike Syria and Assad as evidence pointed to their utilization of chemical weapons on their own people. As it turns out, I believe, that was an orchestrated event hoping to win the minds of the American people and giving Obama the green light to take out Assad and open up Syria for the merchants of radical Islam.
Nobody bought it, and the imminent action failed to take place. The media failed to exhibit an ounce of intellectual curiosity as we quietly failed to take what would have been considered a seemingly appropriate action.
ISIS is now running roughshod over Iraq, having seized large tracts of territory, cash and our own abandoned military equipment, and they must be stopped.
Now, it does not seem our military has been specifically tasked with the destruction of ISIS ( is that not what you thought Obama finally engaged our forces to do? ), but rather to assist Syrian rebels who aim the overthrow of Bashar a-Assad.
As Obama says, Assad must go. No, Mr. President, actually, ISIS must go.
Something is very wrong with this whole situation, and I fear many members of Congress are not up to speed with the historical significance of the Sykes-Picot agreement and I was not either, but thanks to the presentation by Glenn Beck and some research, it seems to all be alarmingly pieced together.
At one point just prior to Obama's regrettable election, we had the head of snake, Iran, in large measure surrounded. Do you remember playing RISK? Surrounding your enemy is good.
Now, under Obama's leadership, we are enabling enemies of state, arming terrorist organizations and helping to create the chaos necessary to fuel the flames of insurgency for those seeking freedom to overthrow vicious dictators, all of which escalates the power Iran yields.
You may think overturning these dictators is a worthy endeavor, and in many ways it is. However, you must consider the ultimate objectives of the not only the fighters on the field, but those who organize their efforts.
As our Commander in Chief, we have the top dog in organization, but just what is he organizing? It sure looks like a Greater Syria, where a united Islamic state can be once again ruled by a religious leader. In a sense, the Obama administration policies and ISIS have much the same goal, just approached in differing ways.
I do not have it all pieced together, but, although we are not playing RISK, I can recognize pieces are being placed.
Yeah, something is very wrong to be sure, and it is not workplace violence.

The Joke Is On US
On an evening a couple of weeks back, President Obama spoke to nation regarding the terrorist group ISIS running roughshod over most of Iraq from their apparent bases in Syria. ISIS is a major concern to most knowledgeable Americans, and the speech by Obama was of keen interest.
You might think this would be a tough speech for Obama, who although vehemently opposed to US military interaction, faces few if any alternatives than to use our armed forces to stop this legitimate threat to peace across the globe. In addition, it has been Obama who has arrogantly informed us that he kept his promise by leaving Iraq and decimating al Qaeda.
Yes, I am aware ISIS is a direct offshoot of al Qaeda, the group the administration boasted about dismantling. Like most everything else from the White House; nothing but propaganda.
Speaking of that, the speech opened up, not with commentary on the rising threat of evil we are facing, but a couple of minutes on how his policies has strengthened our economy, created more jobs than any recent administration and expanded opportunities for working class families. A complete fabrication of the truth.
If that was not insulting enough, Obama delivered a few moments of commentary in his routine condescending manner that Islam is not in any way a root of this problem, rather a peaceful religion we as Americans should embrace as part of our national fabric. I wish I were joking.
Actually, the joke is on us.
Obama has had it wrong from the get go, and if as James Madison told us, Americans were armed with knowledge, this transformative dovish narcissistic neophyte would have never been elected once, much less, twice.
The US interaction with Iraq, both times, was regrettably the correct course of action. Under the surge, we gained victory in Iraq and gave their people a shot at establishing a sovereign nation of freedom. They needed continued support, but under Obama, after telegraphing a timetable, he directed our premature departure, snatching defeat from victory.
Without the presence of the US in the region, the opportunity for al Qaeda to resurface was presented.
The actions taking place in the region were predictable, and President Bush informed the nation what we would be in store for if we departed the region prematurely. Take a listen:
Bush was ridiculed (that Alinsky technique is omnipresent is it not ) relentlessly, but he was absolutely correct. You just heard the evidence.
Come to think of it, looking back at the scorecard, although the media delivers propaganda to the contrary, Obama fails miserably to GOP leaders on the issue of foreign policy. Here are three significant examples.
The laughing stock of all progressive land, it turns out Sarah Palin accurately predicted that Obama would implement policies which would project weakness and create an environment in which Russia would consider invading the Ukraine. Bingo.
Way prior to the current activities surrounding ISIS, the US Military has suffered more deaths in Afghanistan under Obama than under George Bush. There is no daily count on CNN, and Cindy Sheehan is not protesting at various gold communities across the fruited plain, but those facts continue to be stubborn.
During the last presidential campaign, VP Joe Biden tried to scare everybody that if Romney was elected, he would bomb Syria, something Obama would never do. Until now.
Also during the last presidential campaign, Obama failed to identify Russia as an enemy, degrading Mitt Romney, who said Russia was "without question our number one geopolitical foe" by saying the 1980's called and want their foreign policy back. Idiot at large, that Obama.
This all would be a Saturday Night Live skit if these issues were not deadly serious, pun intended. If Obama continues to play games and does not get serious about the increasing evils we face, sooner than later, our way of life will be threatened.
I pray our nation remains safe, but should an attack occur, you will know exactly what enemies to blame; foreign and domestic. No Joke.

I pray our nation remains safe, but should an attack occur, you will know exactly what enemies to blame; foreign and domestic. No Joke.

NEVER FORGET
 |
| The World Trade Center |
Have you forgotten?
Windows on the world
Evil spit in our face on the morning of September 11, 2001. As America sought comfort on this horrendous day, most found God watching over us. We had faith, which helped us through the incredible grief. With evil lurking all around us, we found love, courage and faith standing tall in the fire.
Although this is a day of remembrance, we must never forget!I have not forgotten. Never Forget! Political correctness be damned, we must remain committed to taking out evil wherever it exists, foreign or domestic.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

No You Did Not
No you did not.
Well, you said you did.
President Obama spoke arrogantly during the 2012 presidential campaign about how under his direction the war in Iraq was ended. Not that America won the war, but that he ended it with no American fighting in Iraq.
Somebody forgot to inform our enemies.
Most sensible Americans consider a war ending with a victory, but not so with Obama. In his arrogance, he thought by simply declaring the war over, it would be so. Many gullible members of our electorate, drowned in a sea of irrelevance in keeping up with the Kardashians, found his rhetoric credible.
Anybody with a lick of sense knew that beyond winning the war, there was to be an extended level of commitment to ensure the ultimate success of the mission. Leaving without completing the job, and informing the enemy of our departure time, would create a vacuum which would provide fertile ground for the enemy to gain strength.
Now, Iraq, beyond utter chaos, is the scene of devastation with a terror group inflicting a bloodbath of untold evil on tens of thousands of people, something our bravest spent blood and sacrifices in achievement to prohibit.
In the face of this evil running roughshod, prior to yet another extended vacation of endless golf outings, our President seemed to forget that it was his decision to end the war in Iraq, or at a minimum, that he claimed credit for doing so over and over again.
ISIS is in complete control over there, and due to the feeble response from the White House, we can only conclude that Obama has not quarrel with what has taken place. Sure, Obama has extended rhetoric of support, but his actions, or lack thereof, speak much louder than his words.
Beginning with the burning of churches some eighteen months ago, these evil terrorists have embarked on a genocidal killing spree of historic magnitude. Christians are being slaughtered.
While Obama is most concerned about the kids entering our southern border, to the extent of extending privacy rights to them, he apparently places little regard to those kids being brutally murdered. Beyond crimes against humanity, this is genocide at the hands of extreme evil.
I would call out for someone, anyone, to employ Obama to get his ass off the golf course and put a plan together to combat this evil with the strongest forces available. But in doing so, I would have lost sight of what many Americans cannot bring themselves to believe; Obama is not on our side.
Obama does not appreciate the position America has in the world, thinking it was ill-gotten through theft and violence. Obama has emboldened many of our historic enemies, welcoming members of the Muslim Brotherhood into The White House. Obama's best foreign friend is the Prime Minister of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan, who is quite friendly with Jihadists across the middle east.
With actions over weighing rhetoric, we note the close ties Obama has with groups and leaders who are supporters of terrorists throughout the region that Obama. Until launching pin prick limited strikes to keep ISIS at bay, Obama has done nothing to stop the horrific slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent people across Iraq. Of course, these people are in a position to be slaughtered thanks to the idiotic policies implemented by Obama.
It should be noted, if you have not caught on, that the policies we think are idiotic are the same ones Obama thinks are practical and sensible, all part of the objective to bring America down while allowing a caliphate to become established in the middle east.
Although Obama claims to the contrary, we continue to be at war with those who seek our demise. While foreign enemies seem obvious to identify, those of the domestic side are not as easily uncovered.
Obama claims he ended the war in Iraq, but he did not win it. In fact, his actions have enabled those most would consider our enemy and have presented the conditions that have allowed evil to instigate a level of unspeakable terror continuing as we speak.
Watch the action without absorbing the rhetoric, and the actions enacted by the administration are not those considered beneficial to the historical positions of The United States, or the Christian faith. Beyond disturbing, it appears Obama does not seek the best interest of either of those parties.

Legends In Their Own Minds
Oh, those victories are piling up, aren't they.
Although we are continuously informed of unimagined success via false rhetoric and propaganda, the reality on the ground cascades into defeat.
At least President Obama is a legend in his own mind, and in the narrow halls of the Obamabots mind sets.
Our opponents stand in astonishment that we have elected such an individual to lead our once great nation; either an economic and international relations neophyte or an individual with identifiable to goals to bring this country to its knees through wealth redistribution to seemingly right ill-perceived wrongs in effort to promote social justice with equal opportunity, and outcomes.
Both lines of thinking will escalate the demise of this nation as we have known it, and just might get tens of thousands killed.
Take the Global War on Terror.
According to Obama, under his brilliant leadership, al Qaeda is on the run, with only factions, or in the words of that major sports fan Obama, the jay-vees, still causing limited trouble these days. The war is over, again not possible without his intellectual acumen, and we can all rest easy now.
Except, the al Qeada flag was just recently raised over Fallujah and Ramadi, both located in the Anwar province of Iraq. In fact, as Breitbart reports, Jim Bridenstine (R-OK), a former Navy pilot and combat Veteran in Iraq, says these locations are being used to launch attacks into Syria.
Remember Syria?
Recall back in August, President Obama took to the national airways to plead for national support to take this country to war against Syria, who Obama described as having used chemical weapons on its own people. What ever came of that? Why is Obama no longer tearfully concerned about those poor children.
President Obama, not considering victory as a goal, informed a war weary nation he would end the war, and in his mind, he has with roaring success. But in reality, he has waved the flag of surrender, (don't think for a moment he finds this negative), making all our spilled treasure practically worthless all the while having placed the United States in an increasingly vulnerable position.
Our "scheduled" retreat provides far reaching opportunities for our enemies, and while everything is sunshine and lollipops according to Obama and his propaganda mechanized media. Last Christmas Eve, Buck Sexton of The Blaze, offers us a legit scorecard of our foreign policy and national security.
There have been such "limited"events such as the Boston bombing, but none are more attention grabbing at the moment than the warnings of terror attacks surrounding the upcoming Olympics in Russia.
Amid a rash of terror threats, considered by most as active and alarmingly legitimate, there is growing concern worldwide which has resulted in unprecedented steps being taken to secure the games. Alerts for as many as four "black widows" and a "white widow," the wife of a dead terrorist, have been released by authorities, with fear these operatives have already infiltrated the immediate area of the games.
The hunt is on, and various news agencies, including FOX News and CNN, have reported that the US has positioned war ships within reach for a multitude of scenarios.
Russia President Vladamir Putin has vowed to "do whatever it takes" to secure the games, but Russia has a tainted history in dealing with these terrorists. Putin does not appear to be seeking much help from US authorities, although past working relationships in this arena have achieved results.
Sadly, the United States, under President Obama, has no credibility in terms of working relationships with allies in this arena, and furthermore, through weakness, has failed to present a stern front against the terrorists, rather embracing bad actors who harbor terrorists while embracing dialogue with those countries who actively engage in terrorist activities. See Iran, who is now estimated to be only within weeks of being able to produce a nuclear weapon.
It is this lack of resolve, void of leadership, and a dovish if not sympathetic position on the extensive dangers of terrorism, that emboldens our enemies and increases opportunities for their success. I subscribe to the Reagan philosophy of peace through strength, which is the opposite of the international relations being currently implemented by this strong reemergence of the blame America first crowd.
The global war on terror is not over.
I fear, having put these small minded arm chair philosophers fresh from the faculty lounge in charge, America and our partners in the west may indeed pay a steep price for not fighting these terrorist with a full arsenal. If so, the reasons we were placed in such a position of vulnerability should be quite clear.
It would rest with our current leadership, Ms. Clinton included, who are legends in their own minds.

Time To Blitz Barack
Rush Limbaugh relishes the video as one of his favorites.
The video was from back in 2006 when the approval rating of George Bush fell to 32%, and Wolf Blitzer, on his CNN program "The Situation Room", could not have been more thrilled.
"It's 4 p.m. here in Washington. So you're getting the first look right now at our brand-new poll. The president's job approval rating has taken a downward turn again, falling to only 36%." is how Blitzer gleefully introduced the burning political issue of the day.
Blitzer was not the only mainstream media host or program blitzing Bush in those days, or any day for that matter. The negativity bombarding Bush was beyond relentless, and some even questioned his ability to hold the office, and his mental capacity.
On Wednesday, as the government shutdown marks days on the calendar, as Limbaugh highlighted, an Associated Press story was syndicated with the headline "No Heroes In Shutdown, GOP Gets Most Blame." As AP sees it in their supposed neutrality, it is the fault of the GOP the country finds itself in such tremendous peril.
Should anyone reading the story make it eight paragraphs deep, and most will not, the reader will discover that while the GOP gets most of the blame, the approval rating for President Obama has fallen to 37%. Hello Wolf?
As you can imagine, there were no breaking news bulletins on the likes of CNN, MSNBC or even FOX News Channel, where it was reported along with other noteworthy political issues of the day, and there were plenty. The Drudge Report linked to the AP story; however, nobody was thought to have marked where they were on this day to witness the actions of a president "coming home to roost", as Blitzer trumpeted.
This high level of media bias is sadly expected. As Limbaugh has ofter correctly noted, there is no news, only a propraganda maching of the Democratic Party. The evidence reasonably supports his contention, time and time again.
However, other than another glaring example of media bias, a more telling piece of information which requires some insightful analysis is discovered.
George W. Bush was repeatedly hammered by the mainstream media for a multiude of reasons, most notably due to the war in Iraq. Given the onsluaght of relentless and widespread attacks on Bush, it almost seems surprising his prroval rating was so high.
The mainstream media finds President Obama as a president for the ages, an apolitical individual of diversity and extreme intelligence who is uniquely equipped to engage and solve all the issues our country faces. Heck, in all his arrogance, he can even rename the Washington Redskins should political correctness demand it.
Lies amid doublespeak, immeasurable incompetence and the breaking of laws be damned, the media continues to smother the public with adulation of this man, failing in criminally complicit fashion to present the "promised" transparency of this imperial administration.
Given, as Bernie Goldberg noted, the slobbering love affair the media has with Obama, it is amazing his approval rating has sank so low. Perhaps the recent events of the government shutdown, in which the President has behaved in a immature, petulant and spitefull manner, the eyes of many a "distracted" citizen have been opened.
It is my contention that if the media was in fact a fourth leg of government operating as the eyes and ears of the public, performing necessary checks and balances of the duly elected government, the approval rating of President Obama would be fortunate to exceed single digits.
In fact, he would be impeached. Time To Blitz Barack

No Quarter
Opportunities to save America from Obamacare, a governmental takeover of our health care system sprinting along the road we will have traveled arriving at the socialist utopia progressives have forever dreamed of, are few.
Certainly, those of us freedom fighters can appreciate the efforts of those will have stood in the face or tyranny, inclusive in particular of Mike Lee, R:UT, Rand Paul, R:KY, Marco Rubio, R:FL, Loise Gohmert, R:TX, Michele Bachmann, R:MN, and Ted Cruz, R:TX. They are fighting for us!
It is important for the noise to be extracted from the truth, which is difficult for the average citizen to fight through amid all the lies and distractions.
For example, former president Bill Clinton was on ABC News This Week this morning telling untold lies. Clinton said the following: "I've never seen a time-- can you remember a time in your lifetime when a major political party was just sitting around, begging for America to fail?"
As a matter of fact, yes I can, recalling the Democrats cheering problems in Iraq the Bush administration was having pre-surge, calling for us to retreat while snatching defeat from the arms of victory. Then, there were the rules of engagement qualifications.
Actually, by advocating for a governmental takeover of health care, one would be seeking to limit freedom of choice and liberty of the citizenry, which I deem being complicit in seeking and assisting in the failure of America.
Clinton further offered that "If I were the president, I wouldn't negotiate over these draconian cuts that are gonna take food off the table of low-income working people, while they leave all the agricultural subsidies in for high-income farmers and everything else," he said. "It's chilling to me. The entitlement spending is going down as the unemployment rate drops and the economy grows. Half of the deficit's already disappeared. The rest of it just seems almost spiteful."
The country is bankrupt, and food is not being taken off the table for low-income working people, which is actually part of the reason why the country is bankrupt; unnecessary and growing entitlements. What is significantly harming the low-income working people is the lack of being able to work, as economic policies of the Obama administration has devastated the work force, particularly for low level and minority workers.
Entitlement spending, with a record number of folks on food stamps, is not "going down". On top of that, many folks who cannot find work have shifted from the unemployment rolls to the disability rolls, receiving assistance all along the way. Although statistically growing at minuscule levels, the economy is shambles, and the deficit has in no way disappeared.
What is spiteful and appalling is to speak this type of dishonesty to the American people in effort to seek continuance of the power these individuals have; the country be damned. As such, the former president has identified himself as a dishonest broker. Who knew?
I continue to hear how republicans are blocking the legislation from moving forward. If only that were true. Sadly, several GOP members are fighting Sen. Cruz harder than some Democrats.
Obamacare is an encroachment on personal liberty and freedom, a vehicle for massive government control of the citizenry, a road we are traveling to a single payer system. While progressives demand we wave the flag of surrender, every legally permissible opportunity to thwart Obamacare must be taken.
The fight is on; offer these dishonest opponents of freedom No Quarter!

Middle East Web of Weaponry
At this moment, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says signs point to Syria using weapons of mass destruction, in this case chemical weapons, on their own people. The uprising in Syria, in large measure, has been regrettably aided by The United States in levels extending beyond appeasement.
Larry Kudlow of CNBC chats with John Batchelor on the Syrian crisis.
Starting with speeches around the world proclaiming the transgressions of America, President Obama set out to right these perceived wrongs. As part of this effort, Obama implemented uprisings in the middle east, toppling enemies we knew for those unknown, as least by most. Although Obama spoke publicly about the enhanced chances for democracy and freedom, Obama privately knew those positioned to fill the vacuum, the Muslim Brotherhood, would advocate, or install by force, Shari-ah Law, as is currently the case in Egypt.
But let us regress. Although Syria has a weapons program, are the majority of the weapons of mass destruction currently possessed by Syria the same weapons we never found in Iraq?
Indeed they are.
No longer politically expedient to admonish George W. Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought.
The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it.
Although I remain incensed regarding the antics used by the opponents of President Bush, most notably regarding the propaganda regrading the weapons, the discussion pales in comparison to what is happening now.
Benghazi, who most Americans think is some folk singer, should have been a story that would detonate and destroy the Obama administration. There was supposed to be a presser by a handful of Republicans, however, these GOP members snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as they did not want to seem as playing politics and not caring for the victims as super storm Sandy slapped the northeast.
However, the events in Benghazi supersede politics. Four Americans, including our Ambassador to Egypt and two NAVY Seals, were murdered. The Ambassador, and the Seals, requested help on various occasions but were turned down. Although many have called out Obama on this horrendous act of war against the Untied States, perhaps the commentary by Jeanine Piro on FOX News Channel hit him the hardest, and appropriately so.
As previously noted on the blog, Ambassador Stevens, who inexplicably was meeting with a Turkish contact in a dangerous area outside of our embassy, is thought to have been working to secure weapons. The weapons Stephens is thought to have been attempting to corral are weapons the United States, under Obama, had been supplying rebels in Egypt and Libya.
Recent reports, including from The New York Times, give confirmation of the central theme of the story, which is gun running by the Obama administration. Although not an optimal source, some strong information on this subject can be found over at blog site Lame Cherry. Regrettably, these weapons have gotten loose and have fallen into hands of those who aim America harm. Imagine that.
Although the issues surrounding Benghazi, in which a US Ambassador was murdered for the first time in over 30 years and an administration appears to be running guns seemingly without Congressional approval, seems to be a story which would dwarf Watergate, apparently no journalists are interested in winning a Pulitzer Prize.
On the heels of winning the election, the Obama administration is embolden by a new found sense of arrogance. With a complicit media in their hip pocket, why should they worry? What could happen with some weapons, perhaps some of mass destruction, loose in the hands of Al-Queda, Hamas or other groups or countries who wish us harm?
Well, take a listen to Dennis Kucinich (D:OH), of all people, who is asking some very alarming questions and not getting any answers:
This was a debate needed at the time in 2011, and one critically needed right now. Kucinich rhetorically asked who should be held accountable, and the answer is President Obama.
Unfortunately, the media is criminally negligent in coverage of the Obama administration. The Democrats are in support of the actions of Obama, as are the Progressives in both parties, who have been working toward reducing the superpower status of the US for quite some time. The GOP members in strong opposition are few in numbers and fearful of being labeled an extremist. See Rep. Allen West, (R:FL).
It is far time for someone to step forward, and take on those in power.
This type of thing used to be a big deal, for I recall missing General Hospital for days on end while a Congressional panel hammered Col. Oliver North. However, while America wonders who is on the next Dancing With The Stars cast and enjoying the ever expanding entitlements coming their way, lies are being presented as truth, unrecognizable to the "low information voters" who re-elected Obama.
I hope and pray America, and the media, wake up before a catastrophic tragedy occurs. While the likelihood of such en event favors a financial issue, that may be welcomed against the possibility of a weapon of mass destruction altering life in America forever.
Should such an event occur, while Kucinich wonders whose fault it would be, I would have no doubt who to hold to accountability.

Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought.
The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it.
Although I remain incensed regarding the antics used by the opponents of President Bush, most notably regarding the propaganda regrading the weapons, the discussion pales in comparison to what is happening now.
Benghazi, who most Americans think is some folk singer, should have been a story that would detonate and destroy the Obama administration. There was supposed to be a presser by a handful of Republicans, however, these GOP members snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as they did not want to seem as playing politics and not caring for the victims as super storm Sandy slapped the northeast.
However, the events in Benghazi supersede politics. Four Americans, including our Ambassador to Egypt and two NAVY Seals, were murdered. The Ambassador, and the Seals, requested help on various occasions but were turned down. Although many have called out Obama on this horrendous act of war against the Untied States, perhaps the commentary by Jeanine Piro on FOX News Channel hit him the hardest, and appropriately so.
As previously noted on the blog, Ambassador Stevens, who inexplicably was meeting with a Turkish contact in a dangerous area outside of our embassy, is thought to have been working to secure weapons. The weapons Stephens is thought to have been attempting to corral are weapons the United States, under Obama, had been supplying rebels in Egypt and Libya.
Recent reports, including from The New York Times, give confirmation of the central theme of the story, which is gun running by the Obama administration. Although not an optimal source, some strong information on this subject can be found over at blog site Lame Cherry. Regrettably, these weapons have gotten loose and have fallen into hands of those who aim America harm. Imagine that.
Although the issues surrounding Benghazi, in which a US Ambassador was murdered for the first time in over 30 years and an administration appears to be running guns seemingly without Congressional approval, seems to be a story which would dwarf Watergate, apparently no journalists are interested in winning a Pulitzer Prize.
On the heels of winning the election, the Obama administration is embolden by a new found sense of arrogance. With a complicit media in their hip pocket, why should they worry? What could happen with some weapons, perhaps some of mass destruction, loose in the hands of Al-Queda, Hamas or other groups or countries who wish us harm?
Well, take a listen to Dennis Kucinich (D:OH), of all people, who is asking some very alarming questions and not getting any answers:
This was a debate needed at the time in 2011, and one critically needed right now. Kucinich rhetorically asked who should be held accountable, and the answer is President Obama.
Unfortunately, the media is criminally negligent in coverage of the Obama administration. The Democrats are in support of the actions of Obama, as are the Progressives in both parties, who have been working toward reducing the superpower status of the US for quite some time. The GOP members in strong opposition are few in numbers and fearful of being labeled an extremist. See Rep. Allen West, (R:FL).
It is far time for someone to step forward, and take on those in power.
This type of thing used to be a big deal, for I recall missing General Hospital for days on end while a Congressional panel hammered Col. Oliver North. However, while America wonders who is on the next Dancing With The Stars cast and enjoying the ever expanding entitlements coming their way, lies are being presented as truth, unrecognizable to the "low information voters" who re-elected Obama.
I hope and pray America, and the media, wake up before a catastrophic tragedy occurs. While the likelihood of such en event favors a financial issue, that may be welcomed against the possibility of a weapon of mass destruction altering life in America forever.
Should such an event occur, while Kucinich wonders whose fault it would be, I would have no doubt who to hold to accountability.

A Real Trump Card
In the real estate business myself, I have been a longtime fan of Donald Trump, admiring his work as a real estate developer. Although I am not to be considered a reality television viewer, I have enjoyed several episodes of Trump's The Apprentice on NBC. I met him seemingly in passing in Trump Tower in 1998, and he seemed like a nice guy and I enjoy listening to interviews with him as he is guy who speaks his mind.Over the years, I have not been on par with Trump politically, particularly on the subject of the Iraq war. Trump thinks it was a horrible decision to engage Iraq, and due to that his opinion of George W. Bush is quite low. I completely disagree with those assessments.
Recently, Trump has labeled President Barack Obama as the worst in our history, which Trump says has forced him into considering a run for the White House himself. Conservative is how Trump labels himself, and therefore if he runs he will do so as a Republican.
His potential entrance into the political arena has already paid dividends. Outside of Trump tackling topics many run from, most notably China, he took on the birth certificate fiasco head on and low and behold, it finally appeared. For reasons like this, I welcomed his entrance into the fire.
Although it has seemingly tailed off this week, recent polling had Trump near or at the top of the leaderboard of GOP hopefuls for 2012. Common sense rhetoric is the vehicle Trump has used to gain these lofty poll numbers.
Many think this is a publicity stunt, and given Trump, who could argue. We will soon find out.
If Trump does run, he could play a real trump card.
Given his middle of the road stances on many issues and his dovish positions on middle east conflict, he will have great difficulty winning the GOP primary against a long list of strong candidates. Should Trump lose the GOP primary, he has ruled out an independent run, as he indicates this would likely hand the presidency to Obama, something he says would be catastrophic, and boy howdy do I agree.
Trump loves America no doubt, and he hates to see us in the weakened state we currently find ourselves in. Trump should seize the day, change his political affiliation to Democrat and challenge Obama in the Democratic primary. Trump could win that race fairly easily, slamming the charlatan on wide ranging issues from business economics to American spirit.
The Progressives have completely taken over the Democratic party, although this may be news to many in that group. I know there are many conservative Democrats who do not like the current direction of their party and would welcome a "Scoop Jackson" type Democrat to consider. In a primary, Trump could engage Obama directly, and I think this would be great fun.
This move would be fantastic theater and great for America, and it would give Trump the chance to speak in familiar tongue: You're fired!
Do it Donald; pull a real trump card!

To Tell The Truth
During the course of my daily media viewing, from FOX News to CNBC, I hear political and economic analysts routinely create controversy by out and out lying to the viewers. Certainly, items of discussion like a prediction of the price of a particular stock price in three months has a varinace of opinion. Good luck with that. Those guys are smarter than I am as I don't even know what I am having for lunch tomorrow.
Unfortunately, the rapidly increasing lies go much deeper that what Coca Cola trades at come St. Patricks Day. Take the "established" rhetoric that the Obama administration has created or "saved" some 3 million jobs. Are you trying to kid me? No, you are lying to me. Brent Bozell, founder of The Media Research Center, has had enough:
I have had enough as well. I try to call many of the culprits out here on the blog, but time constraints prohibit me from even scratching the surface. During political season, and we are squarely in the thick of that as we approach the most important election of my lifetime on November 2, a real "Time of Choosing", I want to express to my readers how important it is to know your sources.
From Common Cents Blog comes a blog piece I have been aiming to present on my own for some time, highlighting perhaps your best economic and political source for credible information. It can be found on the pages of Investors Business Daily.
Common Cents Blog says: "The absolute best editorial page you will read is Investor's Business Daily. IBD prints easy-to-read, concise and hard hitting editorials that tout the benefits of free enterprise." A subscriber since 1994, I am in complete agreement with this assertion. Common Cents Blog lists the editorial pieces from Tuesday, October 26, 2010. I added a few they left off, and added commentary on each piece.
EDITORIALS
ObamaCare: Finding things we don't like in the Democrats' overhaul legislation is becoming an almost daily event. Add to the list the possibility that a provision in the bill could be almost six times more costly than the initial estimate. We need to pass the bill to find out what is in the bill. This is completely lacking in common sense, is insulting and a unfathomable display of arrogance. Did I mention we are broke?
WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction): Iraq War documents released by WikiLeaks show that U.S. forces frequently encountered weapons of mass destruction facilities and specialists. A former president is owed an apology. I find WikiLeaks and its founder disgusting. However, I have and had no doubt Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and that Iran is and continues to be the head of the snake. Thank You President Bush!
Fiscal Responsibility: Facing historic electoral losses, big-spending Democrats have stooped to lying about Rep. Paul Ryan's innovative plan to save Social Security — aided and abetted by the establishment media. While Obama thinks he is the smartest guy in the room, economically, Ryan is. Come November 2, Uncle Same can finally utilize his talents to help us to perhaps regain prosperity again.
Election 2010: Nine days before Americans go to the polls, CBS' "60 Minutes" tells the true story of just how many of them are in the unemployment line. Brother, can you spare a vote? The housing crisis is one created in large measure by government interference and is far from being over. It has so decimated the economy that a extremely serious unemployment situation must now be dealt with prior to any meaningful repair in the housing market.
Islamofascism: O'Reilly, Whoopi and Joy are all wrong. The 9/11 terrorists weren't "Muslim extremists" or just plain "Muslims." A liberal newspaper reporter says they were model Muslims. More precisely, they were "perfect soldiers" for Allah, says Los Angeles Times national correspondent Terry McDermott. I have no idea why anyone would give a rats ass what Whoopi and lack of Joy Behar care about anything. However, watching "The View", which I do not, although I am a Disney (DIS:NYSE) shareholder, gives you a window on what a cancer the progressive mindset is to the founding principles of our nation.
War: With WikiLeaks exposing new U.S. secrets, the worst revelation is that the U.S. is vulnerable. As President Obama obsesses about exiting Iraq and Afghanistan, the leaks show that Iran is taking advantage. The globalist in chief is dangerously naive in global affairs. This is very troubling, and the un-American mindset of Obama is rapidly weakening America. Reagan thought peace through strength was the best course, and I quite agree.
Election '10: Megalomania and chutzpah has been redefined with the Senate majority leader's assertion that without him we'd be in worldwide depression. Unfortunately, he couldn't save his home state of Nevada. Reid thinks that without him, we would be in a worldwide depression. This may well be the most arrogant statement ever. He could not run a lemonade stand, but he thinks he is the Vince Lombardi of creating economic expansion.
On The Left: The Tea Party has no leader. It has no address, no phone and no Washington headquarters. It is everywhere and nowhere. For Barack Obama, the Tea Party is the quintessential asymmetrical enemy, much like the Taliban in Afghanistan. The president stands a chance of losing on both fronts. Leftist moonbat and Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen can't determine who the enemies of Obama are. Cohen and The Post have searched the Tea Party high and low to figure out how one could oppose the brilliance of the anointed one. No need to phone Columbo, Obama's enemies are free market capitalists, and given his statements to a Latino audience yesterday, those who oppose his policies, which is well over half the country.
On The Right: Classic songs from years past are sometimes referred to as "golden oldies." There are political fallacies that have been around for a long time as well. These might be called brass oldies. It certainly takes a lot of brass to keep repeating fallacies that were refuted long ago. Dr. Sowell, a fellow at The Hoover Institute at Stanford, is brilliant and someone who you should become acquainted with. Sowell is dead on in this piece, as we are retracing the steps that put us in The Great Depression. For a more detailed overview, read Amity Shlaes book "The Forgotten Man"
To "Read What Is Really Going On", choose IBD as a trusted source in this arena where many media outlets are sorely lacking in credibility. Then, you will be blinded by the light no more.
