We're out of ammo and the world is pondering what to do as we tap dance to get more

Thanks to President and Commander in Chief, Joseph Robinette Biden, every Tom, Dick and Mohammed knows that the United States is low on ammunition. For some inexplicable reason, the potted plant POTUS had to blurt out that information on the Creative News Network, telling far-left host Fareed Zakaria this little factoid. 

“This is a war relating to munitions. And [Ukraine]… is running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it,” Biden mumbled coherently enough for all the world to hear the obviously classified information.

Babbling Biden also claimed that the shortage was one reason behind the controversial decision to send immoral cluster munitions to Ukraine, in his clusterfrack way that he has when off teleprompter.

The U.S. is now scrambling like "River Dance" being played at 1.75 speed to increase stockpiles, if you believe John Kirby, the coordinator for strategic communication [aka ministry of propaganda] at the National Security Council.

Kirby appeared with Fox News' Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday" and described their River Dance:

"We’re working very closely with the defense industry to try to ramp up production, particularly for artillery shells…

"You saw that we gave some cluster munitions to Ukraine as a bridging solution here while we ramp up production. We’re having very, very strong conversations with the defense industry and we believe that we’ll be able to get there."

Cluster munitions are smaller anti-personnel bombs inside a bigger bomb that gets distributed along larger areas and are intended to kill whoever is in the area. Cluster bombs do not distinguish between soldiers, women, children or babies. They just kill folks.

Bream mentioned a think tank report that estimated it could take years to get back to where we were in terms of our munitions.

It's hard to know what or who to believe, but in any case, war sucks and people die. Why isn't it okay to not take sides on this one?

And when all is said and done, nobody is going to do anything to impeach our cognitively impaired, child-hair-sniffing criminal in office. But boy, what they are doing to Donald Trump.

It’s infuriating.

Love Gov. wants a go at Trump in primary challenge

The following is satire based on the real news.

Former husband of Jenny Sanford and former Governor of South Carolina, Mark Sanford has decided the American people have waited long enough for his absolution to kick in and now it's time to return to the big arena of politics. He announced Sunday that he is running for president as a Republican.

Sanford said the GOP faces an identity crisis having elected a "wife cheater" to the highest office in the land and when questioned by Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" about his own "wife cheating," Sanford said, "When it's love, it isn't cheating, and right now the Republican Party needs to do some soul searching."

"I think we have to have a conversation about what it means to be a Republican," Sanford told Wallace, claiming the party "has lost our way." His current partner, María Belén Chapur, is living with him but it is unclear if she plans to help his campaign as Jenny Sanford did when he ran for governor.

Keeping the onus off his personal foibles and infidelity, Sanford spoke about the debt, deficit and government spending, pretending like every politician who wanted to be elected that he would forcefully lower all of those economic areas. 

Sanford also challenged Trump's tactics when it comes to trade, saying that engaging the world when it comes to trade is "one of the hallmarks of the Republican Party."

He also brought up political culture, which he said has been "damaged" by Trump, but not by him. "Back home in South Carolina, we don't call it cheating--that's a reserved word for poker--here we call it 'following your heart.'"

"We need to have a conversation about humility," Sanford said, blasting Trump's social media habits by claiming that a tweet "is not leadership." "Humility is what won María's heart," he added.

When pressed on why he is running a race that he knows he will likely lose, Sanford, trying his best to sound sagacious said, "this is the beginning of a long walk, but it begins with a first step.”

Chris Wallace called out Sanford over his own behavior, particularly the stretch in which for nearly a week in 2009 during his term as governor, he was missing from his job, and eventually admitted that he was in Argentina doing things with María, and not hiking the Appalachian Trail like his former mouthpiece had claimed after 15 phone calls were made trying to locate him.

"Oh, I profoundly apologized for that and the other women I bedded over the last 20 years," he said. "But Trump never said he's sorry for what he did and I said I'm sorry. My dear mother always told me, 'if you ever lie, say you're sorry and the lie will disappear.' And she was a vegetarian."

Trump, as is his wont, trolled Sanford after his scandal was made public, but Sanford claimed that his campaign against "that b****** Trump."

Sanford is now the third Republican to announce a run against Trump in the primaries, with former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh previously announcing their campaigns. Most pundits believe that between the three of them running, it might take a total of 12 votes away from Trump, if that many.

Jenny Sanford

Sanford resigned as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association and was succeeded by Gov. Haley Barbour (R-MS) although in an email of June 29 to members of his political action committee, Sanford said he had no intention of resigning as governor.

On August 25th, however, he was warned by state representatives Nathan Ballentine and Gary Simrill that if he didn't resign, he would be impeached, but he still stubbornly declined because he had no other marketable skills other than being a politician or a sex toy.

On December 3, after the third public hearing on impeachment, the ad hoc committee unanimously voted to remove most of the charges against Sanford saying that it didn't warrant "overturning an election." By December 6 the committee voted 6-1 against impeachment, stating that they had better things to do than dealing with this reprobate. 

But they all voted to censure him.

On December 15, 2009, the House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to censure Sanford 102-11 in January 2010.. The eleven who did not vote to censure him may have had guilty consciences of their own.

Trump: Whitaker will have free reign over Mueller probe

Like a case of genital warts, most of us just want the Mueller investigation to go away. Not that anyone on the right side of the aisle is worried Mueller will find something against Trump or his administration, but for many of us, the investigation has gone on for so long now it's beginning to rot.

In spite of this, I believe if Trump is innocent [and I'm sure he is] he ought to allow the probe to come to its fullest conclusion and assuage all doubts of guilt.

On Sunday, President Trump told Fox News' Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" that he will be giving acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker free reign over the Mueller investigation on the Russia probe, including limiting or even shutting it down.

"It's going to be up to him," Trump said. "I wouldn't get involved."

President Trump picked Whitaker after he fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Whitaker is an outspoken critic of the Mueller investigation and this ignited renewed accusations that Trump is trying to squelch the investigation.

They would want Trump to select an acting AG who is all in for the probe and a Democrat to boot.

Trump said he didn't know of Whitaker's previous public remarks, which paints the president as uninformed and begs the question: why did he choose someone of whose ideology he was unaware?

I think the president was pulling our collective legs on that one.

Pence calls Obama's speech 'disappointing'

Vice President Pence criticized Obama's return to the left's desperate campaign trail telling "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace that Obama, in his attempt to paper over a crappy legacy with major tax increases and an enormous hike in the national debt was "very disappointing."

"It was very disappointing to see President Obama break with the tradition of former presidents, and become so political, and roll out the same tired arguments that he and liberals have made over the last eight years," Pence told Wallace.

"We inherited an economy that was growing a little bit more than one percent," he continued. "In the last quarter, our economy is growing at 4.2 percent. Four million new jobs, unemployment at a 50-year low. And to have President Obama come out and tout his policies that resulted in less than 2 percent growth -- which saw tax increases, ObamaCare regulation, and a doubling of the national debt -- I think was -- it was very disappointing."

Pence also spoke about what he called the "un-American" anonymous author of a New York Times Op-Ed last week, and swore he would take a lie-detector test to prove he did not write it.

Personally, I believe him.

"I would agree to take it in a heartbeat and would submit to any review the administration wanted to do," Pence asserted. As for whether other officials should be forced to take a polygraph, Pence was reluctant, saying that it is up to the president to decide the issue.

The cowardly Op-Ed, purportedly written by a "senior administration official," depicts a broken White House and claims that top-level bureaucrats are actively working to undermine parts of President Trump's agenda.

That isn't treason, but it sure as hell sounds like sedition. The president is an elected official and to undermine him is seditious and carries a very stiff legal penalty.

"If they are that senior administration official -- that they're violating an oath, not to the president, but to the Constitution," Pence said.

According to the vice president,  President Trump was also concerned about the national security implications of the situation. "Look, it's un-American. And I think that's why you've seen Republicans and Democrats condemn this."

But mostly Republicans, because if someone tried to assassinate President Trump, Democrats would scramble to find reasons to justify such a heinous act.

Pence continued: "To have someone who literally celebrates coming in every day to frustrate the agenda that the president and I were elected to advance -- it really is an assault on our democracy. And it should be universally condemned."

And prosecuted fully.

The Op-Ed conspicuously used the term "lodestar," a word which Pence has been known to use in speeches.

Wallace asked him if he believed the use of that word appeared to be an attempt to frame him, Pence replied, "I wouldn't know," but said the entire situation was an attempt to "distract attention from this booming economy and from the president's record of success."

Pence encapsulated his thinking about how the administration is portrayed by the media and the reality of what he sees in working as vice president.

"Sometimes I watch a little bit of TV in the morning, and then I go to the White House, and I feel like I’m in a parallel universe. I walk into a White House where there’s a President behind the desk; he’s in command. He's constantly driving forward on delivering on the promises that we made for the American people. And then I go home at night and I see cable TV talking about all of this stuff about disarray in the White House, and it's just not my experience. 

"You look at the passage of historic tax cuts for businesses and individuals, and the way that jobs are coming back, and investment is coming back. The re-negotiation of trade deals, our allies contributing more to our common defense. All of that is happening because we have a president of almost boundless energy who comes in every day -- regardless of what's happening in the Washington media culture -- and says, 'What are we doing today to deliver for the American people?' And I think that's why I see such enthusiasm as I travel across the country. And that's why I believe the American people are going to vote to re-elect Republican majorities in the House and Senate this fall."

If Obama understood why the country elected President Trump to the office he once held, and owned up to it, he would not be campaigning for the Democrats because that's just campaigning for the GOP.

Now irrelevant Steve Bannon 'regrets' his scummy betrayal of POTUS

Steve Bannon, the former useless political strategist for Donald Trump, apologized Sunday after the president lambasted his sorry butt for unflattering comments he is alleged to have made in the Trump White House gossip book "Fire and Fury." 

Bannon says he "regrets" his delayed response and that he continues to support the president.

How exactly has Bannon ever supported President Trump? All he's trying to do is save himself and latch onto power as he always did before.

"My support is also unwavering for the president and his agenda," he lied in a statement to Axios, later confirmed by Fox News Sunday.

In one part of the book, he calls Donald Trump Jr.  "treasonous" and "unpatriotic" based on a meeting Trump Jr. had with a Russian, a meeting that took place before Bannon was a staffer for the president, so it's impossible for Bannon to have inside information.

In his apology statement, Bannon said, "Donald Trump Jr. is both a patriot and a good man. He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around."

Question: So how can anyone know when Bannon is telling the truth?
Answer: He doesn't. Everything he says is for his own self-aggrandizement and the only "friend" he has left is the mainstream media. He has even alienated Breitbart News.

"I regret that my delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting regarding Don Jr. has diverted attention from the president's historical accomplishments in the first year of his presidency," Bannon said, after he removed his lips from Trump's rump.

Bannon said in the statement that the comments about the meeting were aimed at Paul Manafort, not Don Jr.

Trump's epic response can be heard on the Daily Wire video posted above. The statement begins at the 24:20 mark, but the entire video is worth watching.

On North Korea: we may have to bomb the s*** out of them

(Photo: Fox News)

Kim Jong Un keeps flipping 'the bird' at President Trump after he warned the hermit state to stop their ballistic missile and nuclear program or there will be consequences to pay.

North Korea responded to Trump's warning by firing another ballistic missile test which failed for the second time. Still, the point was made that Kim Jong Un is a lunatic and will do whatever he wants to do to remain in power.

National Security Adviser and retired Army general H.R. McMaster spoke on "Fox News Sunday" and was asked about North Korea's pursuit of a nuclearized weapon after President Trump had stated the United States will no longer be the world's policeman.

"It's an open defiance of the international community," McMaster said. "It's important for all of us to confront this regime . . . None of us can accept a North Korea with a nuclear weapon."

Trump has been critical of former administrations over their attempts at overthrowing foreign regimes by force or through financing operations. He called upon the nations of NATO to start paying their "fair share" and he threatened to resign from the alliance if they refused to kick in.

But when McMaster was asked if we have to do something ourselves regarding North Korea he said, "Well yes, we do have to do something, and so we have to do something, again, with partners in the region and globally, and that involves enforcement of the UN sanctions that are in place.

"It may mean ratcheting up those sanctions even further, and it also means being prepared for military operations if necessary," he added.

McMaster said of Mr. Trump, "The president, I think, has been masterful in terms his development of a relationship with President Xi and in the discussions that led them to the place where the United States and the Chinese understand their interests overlap."

Trump has warned us about the possibility for a "major conflict" with North Korea and he has been working on strengthening relationships with players in the region such as Japan.

In fact, when President Trump was entertaining President Xi of China at his Mar a Lago estate in Florida, and plying him with incredibly delicious chocolate cake that was out of this world,  the 'Mother Of All Bombs" was dropped on an ISIS tunnel network in Afghanistan killing only 100 terrorists. 

(Photo: AP)

Xi got the message from Trump as he scoffed down that chocolate delight: the United States is no longer being led by a limp-wrist socialist whose Columbia University ID listed him as a foreign student, had Muslim Brotherhood members visit him at the White House, had a failed healthcare plan that he lied about, and made the worst deal in the universe with Iran over nuclear weapons.

Now we are being led by a real estate mogul and reality TV show star who knows how to make deals, fire people, and set unbelievable policy and attendance records as president.

Priebus: media obsessed with delegitimizing Trump

White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus defended his boss on Sunday saying that "there is an obsession by the media to delegitimize this president. We are not going to sit around and let it happen," he told "Fox News Sunday."

President Trump spoke to about 300 CIA staffers on Saturday and suggested to them that his well-publicized split with the U.S. intelligence agencies was created by the media. This then led to his free associating about the media and the size of his inauguration crowd which, he said, they lied about saying it was rather small.

Trump apparently has a problem with 'small.'

What had happened was that Trump didn't go along with the intelligence community's assessment that Russia influenced the 2016 presidential election to help him win.

He also said that someone within the intel community leaked an unofficial dossier with alleged personal information about him that was perversely sexual in nature, and that, he said, was like living in "Nazi Germany."

It was "one bad actor" that probably leaked the fake document so Trump wasn't angry at all of the country's intelligence officers, Priebus told Fox.

"I'm telling you; it was a love fest in there," he said, referring to Trump's CIA visit.

Media didn't report this

Priebus spoke about the claim that Trump removed the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office. This turned out to be false and Priebus said about the inaccurate report: "It could have had explosive ramifications . . . It was shoot first, point later."

The so-called "reporter" later apologized.

The Chief of Staff also defended the White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's comments about the media for under reporting the crowd size. A flash press conference was called and Spicer angrily accused the media of "false reporting" on the inauguration in a "shameful" attempt to minimize enthusiasm for Trump. And then he left without taking questions. 

"The point is not the crowd," Priebus said. "The point is the media is trying to delegitimize the presidency."


The point is, Trump needs to focus on what's important  . . . or is it that crowd size is the new hand size?

Trump loyalists feel 'betrayed' over Romney role

If it were not for Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump might be the one calling for a voter recount of the presidential election. But Trump won and now it's "Hypocritical Hillary" calling for the measure.

Now as the Trump transition team try to come up with a pick for secretary of state, Conway spoke on several media outlets Sunday making a public case against the selection of Mitt Romney saying that Trump's supporters feel betrayed by the possibility of Romney as a pick.

Conway, true to the end, says she'll support whomever Trump picks, but argues that grass-roots Trumpsters who hung in there against apparent horrible odds feel let down about Romney, since he called Trump a "con man" and a "phony." He even spoke out against Trump University, implying that a degree from that school is 'useless.'

Trump's team are apparently split over the choices of Romney versus a true and early Trump loyalist, Rudy Giuliani, a former GOP nominee.

Incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, a man with a good brain and odd name appeared on "Fox New Sunday" where he minimized rumors of vicious infighting over the decision of who will head the State Department. Priebus said that Trump is "going to make the best decision for the American people."

Conway, however, suggested a clear division of opinion.

"We don't even know if (Romney) voted for Donald Trump," she said on CNN's "State of the Union," a network that obviously favored Hillary Clinton for president and has been referred to as the "Clinton News Network" by yours truly. 

"He and his consultants were nothing but awful to Donald Trump for a year . . . I'm all for party unity, but I'm not sure we have to pay for that with the secretary of state position. I think there are concerns that those of us that are loyal have, and we want a secretary of state who's loyal to the president."

Conway has privately expressed her thoughts to Trump and will respect whatever the President-elect decides. However, she Tweeted that the larger "point is the volume & intensity of grass-roots resistance to Romney is breathtaking."

The question that many Trump supporters may now have is whether or not he is just another lying person who will, like Hillary Clinton, say anything at all to get elected.

Like the wall. Like Obamacare. Like jobs. Like 'locking her up.'

Hillary goes on Fox

In an exclusive interview with Chris Wallace on Fox's "Fox News Sunday," Hillary Rodham Clinton agreed that Americans have a legitimate concern about her trustworthiness. She was referring to, in part, her email scandal and the Benghazi attack which she did nothing to save the lives of four Americans, one of whom was Ambassador Chris Stevens. Instead, she blamed the catalyst for the jihadist attack on some obscure video, which she even told the families of the victims was the cause that led up to the Islamic attack. 

The would-be felon, if not for the FBI's James Comey letting her off the hook because of who she is, said, "I think that it's fair for Americans to have questions.  Every time I run for an office, though, oh my goodness, all of these caricatures come out of nowhere. And people begin to undermine me because when I left office as secretary of state, 66 percent of Americans approved of what I do."

Well, oh my goodness, these caricatures do not 'come out of nowhere.' They come out of your incompetence, sneakiness, rampant lying that puts your political ambition above that of the security of the American people, and the characteristic way you shout when you speak and your eyes go wild.

It's amazing your favorability rating is north of zero, but there will always be voters who base their choice on demographics rather than qualities that candidates are accountable for, like competence, honesty, patriotism and putting America first and not just saying it.

When Wallace confronted her with the issue that two-thirds of Americans have concerns about her trustworthiness, she parroted her cliched response: "I know that I have work to do."

Balderdash.

Hillary Clinton does not believe that she needs to change anything about herself because if she did, she would have started that thirty years ago.

The DNC email hack was also discussed but she never quite made the claim that what generated the hack was the fact that Putin wants Trump to win the presidency.

Regarding Hillary on the Benghazi attack when she told family members of the victims she never sent support for and blamed the attack on a video, she claimed the families 'misunderstood' her because they were overwhelmed by grief.

Right--they were all so mentally messed up that they heard Clinton tell them that she was going to get that guy who made the video when she really said, "We know it was an Islamic jihadist attack and we're going to do everything we can to destroy those terrorists and bring them to justice."

The biggest flaw that Hillary Clinton has is that she believes the American people are all stupid. Her greatest strength is that she convinced those who are to vote for her.

Debbie W Schultz, the DNC, and the bus

PHILADELPHIA -- The Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not be speaking at the Democratic National Convention, which isn't very democratic of them at all, is it?

This came after WikiLeaks leaked emails that showed an anti-Bernie Sanders bias in her operation of the party, which too, isn't very democratic of her. The emails really pissed off the hard left within the almost hard left party.

So the party boss isn't presiding over the party's party as it's reported that she has no speaking role. One Democratic source said that Debbie will be "quarantined."

It didn't take long for the Democrats to throw Debbie under the proverbial bus once more emails came into the light of day knee-capping Sanders after he vowed to replace her as DNC chairwoman if he won the election. She basically laughed off Sanders after he made that statement because, obviously, she knew better who was going to win the Party's nomination.

"This is a silly story. He isn't going to be president," she wrote in the May 21st email. 

The decision not to have Wasserman Schultz speak or preside at the convention was confirmed by Fox News Sunday and it was due to the pressure from Obama and Hillary, or, as I like to call them, "Frick and Frack."

The Associated Press has learned that Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio has been voted in as convention chairwoman by the DNC, and the party is hoping she doesn't fudge her role.

The Democrats have labeled the GOP as a party in crisis. If that's true then how would you label the Democratic Party? I'll be happy to read your comments.

Bernie Sanders verbally attacked the DNC and specifically Wasserman Schultz (who would be wise to choose only one last name and stick with it). Bernie has demanded her resignation as party chairwoman on Sunday, but that may already be in the cards whether she wants it or not.

"I think [Wasserman Schultz] should resign. Period. And I think we need a new chair who is going to lead us in a very different direction," Sanders told ABC's "This Week," in a thick Brooklyn accent that put me in the mood for a Nathan's hot dog and fries, whose oil is never changed, only added to.

Bernie added that "these emails reiterate that reason why she should not be chair."

Sanders will speak on opening night at the convention and is expected to discard all of his principles and honor in order to endorse Hillary Clinton. In other words, it is expected that Sanders will not have the testicular fortitude to 'do a Ted Cruz.'

Ms. Clinton is expected to give a loud, rather shrill and shrieking acceptance speech that will have millions of Americans on both sides of the political aisle turning down their volume and going for a bathroom break.

"Oh the wheels on the bus go round and round . . . "

Hillary helped kill Osama-she was in the room

Presidential wannabe, Hillary Rodham Clinton (change the "t" to a "g" and you get a Clingon) doesn't want to tell the American public where she stands on vital issues, such as the trade deal.

 And for good reason.

If she opens her mouth, people will actually evaluate what she says--at least Republicans and Independents will--and they will know that she stands for anything that will bring her votes and then do her own thing in spite of that, once elected.

Liberals like her for her aging body parts, and for nothing else, as there is nothing else substantial about this woman. Well, not if you don't count the fact that she was in the Situation Room when she had nothing personally to do with Osama bin Laden's take-down.

A top Hillary adviser, Karen Finney, told "Fox News Sunday" that Hillary is waiting to see the final deal to see how she should feel, or something equivalent to that. In fact, Hillary is avoiding members of her own socialist-leaning party even more than the Republicans.

Actually, Finney really said that Clinton is waiting to see the final deal and that she has already explained her position ["Mirror, mirror, on the wall" explained] and that a final agreement must protect American workers and not jeopardize national security [but not security for our overseas embassies, like Benghazi].

"We'll see where this process goes," Finney said. "This is someone who has voted for trade agreements when they have been good for American and against them when they haven't been good for America."

And Hillary sure knows what is good for America. She has proven this time and again, only we cannot verify it because she destroyed her illegal server and her Muslim Brotherhood-connected aide, and wife of Anthony-See-My-Weiner, Huma Abedin refuses to talk about it.

Doesn't Hillary remind you of Nancy Pelosi? "You got to vote for me, before you know what I stand for."
