Blinken evidently supports Hamas: will issue sanctions on IDF unit for alleged human rights violations in Judea and Samaria

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is likely going to impose sanctions on an Israeli Defense Forces battalion for allegedly committing human rights violations in Judea and Samaria [aka: the occupied West Bank], according to a report. Blinken is as Jewish as Biden is Catholic, based on his lack of full-bodied commitment to Israel, and he is willing to believe, or told to believe, anything negative about the Jewish State.

The decision to sanction the Netzah Yehuda Battalion would bar the military unit from receiving any US aid or training. This would, of course, lead to a dangerous situation for the soldiers in the unit, and hurt Israel's defense of their nation. 

The worst part of this bonehead idea to sanction Israel is based on incidents they claim happened before the October 7, 2023 blood-lust attack on Israel, Axios reported, citing a US official. Why, it almost seems as if Blinken and the administration was looking to find some dirt on the IDF that they could hold against Israel to justify sanctions and weaken its defense for political reasons.

At a press conference in Italy, Blinken responded to questions about the recommendation and said he had made a decision based on the investigation’s probe.

“You can expect to see them in the days ahead,” Blinken said.

This isn't Blinken's first failure as secretary of state. On December 16, 2014, the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) opposed his nomination to become Obama's deputy secretary of state. 

McCain said: 

"Mr. Antony 'Tony' Blinken, who is not only unqualified, but in fact in my view, one of the worst selections that this president has chosen. I hope that many of my colleagues will understand that not often do I come to the floor to oppose a nomination from the President of the United States, because I believe that elections have consequences. In this case, this individual has actually been dangerous to America. He has been a functionary and an agent of a U.S. foreign policy that has made the world much less safe today. Let’s just review some of the elements, in particular, and his role in conceptualizing and furthering it.

"It lacks any concept of how to retain our foreign policy goals. This has led to foreign policy failures, including the continued slaughter of the Syrian people by President Bashar Assad … and the betrayal of our key allies, especially in central Europe.”

That Blinken was incompetent was known ten years ago and longer and should serve the country as a warning to what this can lead to, from the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine, the first major European land war in decades, to the clusterfrack in Afghanistan, which can be blamed on the Biden administration and Blinken in particular.

On Feb. 22, 2022, Putin announced he was sending “peacekeepers” into eastern Ukraine. It didn't take long shortly afterward, that he began bombing Ukraine, marking the failure of U.S. State Department diplomacy with Blinken at the wheel.

Blinken's diplomacy has been a total failure as seen in his failure to deter Putin and he looked weak when he moved the State Department personnel out of the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv. He said it wasn't a retreat, but it was actually a retreat.

Blinken has always been more concerned with climate blah blah blah than actual foreign affairs.

And now this charlatan is going after Israel for fairytale offenses as he anemically criticizes Hamas and Hezbollah. Thankfully, Americans don't buy his bull and the administration is pressured enough to continue helping our ally, Israel.

Antony Blinken thinks lecturing Israelis on what to do with Hamas is okay

"Don't worry, Antony, we'll take care of the problem for you"

Incompetent Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who happens to be Jewish, was widely criticized for telling Israel's war cabinet how to prosecute the war against the Hamassholes who on October 7 attacked Israeli citizens, mostly civilians, and killed, raped, burned, mutilated, tortured men, women, children and the elderly for being Jewish. How dare he "lecture" anyone about warfare, especially people from another nation just because the Biden administration is facing pressure from Hamas-supporting anti-Semites.

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) is a decorated former Green Beret. Waltz spoke to Fox News and said that Israel will end up in a surrender if they go along with "President Biden's edicts," although we know it wasn't coming from Biden himself because it wasn't gibberish or flatulence.

"I think that will be a green light for Hezbollah, for the militias in Syria and their masters in Iran to realize their dream before they even get a nuke, of genocide in Israel and wiping Israel off the face of the Earth," Waltz said.

He stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is well aware that the IDF cannot back down as Hamassholes and terrorists in general only understand strength and diplomacy is for Bud Light consumers.

"I have sat across the table, whether it's the Taliban, ISIS, Al Qaeda or Hamas, they all see the world the same way -- And what they understand are bullets and bombs on foreheads, period."

Of course Waltz is correct and anyone with a functioning cortex [which leaves Alexandria Occasional-Cortex out of the discussion] knows that's true. It's obvious why the Middle East didn't go ballistic when Trump was our President--they know he is unpredictable and capable of "bombing the shit" out of any country that messes with us.

Waltz also said that liberals who continue to cry foul over Israel's response to the October 7 civilian massacre by Hamas ignore the difference between those attacks on civilians and the collateral casualties caused by the IDF's response in Gaza – then adding the administration is "pandering" in a "disgraceful" way.

Waltz also criticized Blinken's recent caution to Israel's war cabinet, in which the pencil-neck geek warned the Jewish State that they don't have very long to continue its war amid pressure from the Biden administration and other western concerns.

Unfortunately, Blinken was not at the Israeli Nova rave when the Hamassholes attacked and started shooting at anyone in sight. Not that he should have been a casualty, but that he should know what he's asking Israel to do. 

Fortunately, they will not comply with such a suicidal request.

At the meeting, Blinken reportedly received pushback from Israeli officials, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant saying Israelis are fully behind their country's response and its mission to eradicate Hamas no matter the timeline, according to the Times of Israel.

Fox News'"Life, Liberty & Levin" host Mark Levin, a former Reagan Justice Department chief of staff, reminded Waltz of how the late Sen. John McCain, (R-AZ) verbally destroyed Blinken on the Senate floor for over 25 minutes while he was up for confirmation to be then-President Barack Obama's deputy Secretary of State.

"These are ideologues out of these poison ‘ivy’ colleges... [McCain] was pounding this guy, and yet they're never held to account," he said.

McCain lambasted Blinken, calling him "not only unqualified" but "one of the worst selections of a very bad lot [Obama] has chosen," [obviously not counting Biden as his running mate].

McCain added that he didn't generally object so vociferously to even Democratic nominees but that he found Blinken "actually … dangerous to America and to the young men and women who are fighting and serving it."

McCain went on, with a statement that Biden's critics later called prescient after the U.S.' disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, referencing a reported claim by Blinken that Afghanistan's war would be finished by 2014 and that the timetable "would not change."

"This is why I’m so worried about him being in the position that he’s in. Because if they stick to that timetable, I’m telling my colleagues that we will see a replay of Iraq all over again," McCain concluded, which the Biden critics later said was borne out in 2021.

Levin said left-wing diplomats writ-large are rarely held accountable for their foreign policy failures, and are running a "rogue foreign policy," and issuing their own edicts to the sovereign foreign government of Israel.

Martha McSally appointed to fill McCain's Senate seat

Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) has been appointed to fill the late John McCain's Senate seat following Sen. Jon Kyl's (R-AZ) stepping down at year's end. Kyl was originally assigned by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to fill McCain's seat.

Gov. Ducey made the announcement on Tuesday about McSally's appointment. She had lost to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema in November for the other Senate in a close election. Sinema, a staunch leftist, has made a number of disparaging remarks about Arizonans and the state, so her winning over McSally proves to a degree that some people are too stupid to care or too uninformed to know that the person you voted for basically called you a 'meth-head.'

“All her life, Martha has put service first — leading in the toughest of fights and at the toughest of times,” Ducey said in a statement. “With her experience and long record of service, Martha is uniquely qualified to step up and fight for Arizona’s interests in the U.S. Senate. I thank her for taking on this significant responsibility and look forward to working with her and Senator-Elect Sinema to get positive things done.”

McSally, who distinguished herself early in her career as the first female fighter pilot to serve in combat, said she was “humbled and grateful” for the opportunity to serve.

Sinema distinguished herself early in her career as a member of Code Pink and said that she didn't care if someone joins the Taliban to shoot U.S. troops (a comment McSally called "treason"). She also defended anarchists destroying property, characterized U.S. soldiers as evil demons, and called Arizona "a meth lab of democracy."

For more crazy things Sinema has said, click here.

It will be interesting to see how the two new Arizona senators get along.

“I am humbled and grateful to have this opportunity to serve and be a voice for all Arizonans,” McSally’s statement said. “I look forward to working with Senator-Elect Kyrsten Sinema and getting to work from day one.”

After McCain’s passed away in August, Kyl returned to the upper chamber at Ducey’s request after retiring his Senate seat in 2013. Kyl announced last week that he would serve through the end of the current legislative session and vacate his seat effective December 31.

Cindy McCain expressed hope that McSally would continue her husband’s legacy of service above self interest in a Tuesday tweet and Joy Behar is a schmuck. Just saying.

“My husband’s greatest legacy was placing service to AZ & USA ahead of his own self-interest,” she tweeted. “I respect @dougducey’s decision to appoint @RepMcSally to fill the remainder of his term. Arizonans will be pulling for her, hoping that she will follow his example of selfless leadership.”

McSally’s seat will once again be on the ballot in 2020 and it is hoped by everyone with a brain that she wins the 2020 election.

Trump lends Air Force Two to McCain family to bring Body to D.C.

Photo: Daily Wire

Did MSNBC or CNN mention that President Trump lended Air Force Two to the McCain family to bring the late Senator John McCain's (R-AZ)  to Washington, D.C.? If they did, please comment below and enlighten me.

In spite of the fact that President Trump was verbally attacked over the course of McCain's five-day funeral and remembrance ceremonies, he still did the family a classy solid.

McCain's remains were flown to Washington, D.C. on the Trump-approved aircraft. "The late Arizona senator's casket was loaded onto one of the jets known as Air Force 2--which is often designated for the VP or First Lady's travel," TMZ reported.

The senator's family was also flown on that plane out of Phoenix Thursday afternoon after McCain lay in state in the Arizona capitol building.

Obviously, Trump didn't have to do this and it was one of his softer, kindlier moments he has displayed to his detractors.

Of course, CNN and MSNBC apparently "went dark" on this instance but Arizona Central reported it: 

"The 89th Airlift Wing, based out of Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, is responsible for the aircraft as well as Air Force One. McCain's body will be flown to the base, according to a representative of the aircraft wing."

Although Trump "manned up" with his offer, tearful Meghan McCain, the senator's daughter, used her eulogy she delivered for her father to rip into the president.

"We gather here to mourn the passing of American greatness--the real thing, not cheap rhetoric from men who will never come near the sacrifice he gave so willingly, nor the opportunistic appropriation of those who lived lives of comfort and privilege while he suffered and served," she said, obviously referencing Trump, and the fact that he got a military deferment that kept him out of the Vietnam War.


With tears in her eyes, her voice rose in anger as she said, "The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great."

The audience applauded loudly.

So even when Trump does a good thing he's attacked. What ever happened to Kumbaya?

Aretha's funeral became a leftist event with a tastelessly short dress

Detroit -- A day meant for mourning for America's Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, became a classless bashing of President Trump. Some of those who tongue-lashed him have questionable histories themselves.

The service was held in Detroit [aka 'Motown'] for Ms. Franklin who died of pancreatic cancer August 16th; she was 76. Rather than using the sad occasion to show respect for her, several of the virtueless used it as an opportunity to virtue-signal.

Perhaps the most blatant virtue-signaler is the fake Rev. Al Sharpton[gue].

In a previous attack, the race-baiting Sharpton misspelled the word respect and used the faux pas to attack President Trump in that low-class way he has. [I mean no disrespict].

"You know, the other Sunday on my show, I misspelled 'Respect,' and a lot of y'all corrected me," the racist pig said. "Now, I want y'all to help me correct President Trump to teach him what it means.

"And I say that because when word went out that Ms. Franklin passed, Trump said, 'She used to work for me."

With hatred in his heart, the racist continued, pretending to speak from authority. "No, she used to perform for you. She worked for us. Aretha never took orders from nobody but God."

If you know anything at all about Sharpton [I have trouble calling him 'Rev.'] you know how ironic Sharpton's virtue-signaling is. If you don't know anything about Sharpton, Google his name and the following: Tawana Brawley, Crown Heights riots, tax evasion and

The tastelessly short dress worn byAriana Grande
as seen by Bill Clinton

Then there is the pretentiously verbose Michael Eric Dyson [who, like the Dyson vacuum cleaner, sucks].

Dyson had this to say about our president at the funeral of Aretha Franklin: "You lugubrious leech, you dopey doppelgänger of deceit and deviance, you lethal liar, you dimwitted dictator, you foolish fascist. She ain't work for you."

Dyson was referring to the comment Trump made about Ms. Franklin at a recent Cabinet meeting when he recalled the singer's performances at a Trump casino in New Jersey after it first opened.

In the video below in which Dyson debates Jordan Peterson on the race issue, watch how rude and sophomoric he comes off, grunting and acting like a jerk as he goes up against Peterson, a man with a superior intellect to his.

Dyson's the jerk in the spectacles who, like Al Sharpton and his buddy, Louis Farrakhan, see everything in terms of skin color. Of course, in Farrakhan's case, he, like Sharpton, also hate Jews as well as white folks. By the way, Farrakhan was also at the funeral and people just adored him.

Next comes the Rev. [?] Jesse Jackson, a Democrat who ran for president in 1984 [nearly turning Orwell's book of the same title into a non-fiction work] and again in 1988. In his eulogy to Franklin, he veered off to the left and said, "Aretha was on the battleground for 60 years. We have long lines to celebrate death, and short lines for voting. Something is missing. If you leave here today and don't register to vote [Democratic, he meant], you're dishonoring Aretha."

Thankfully, none of the politicians turned the event into a partisan cluster-muck. Former President Bill Clinton was too busy checking out Ariana Grande's caboose and wheels, and former Attorney General Eric "Obama's Wingman" Holder was too busy thinking about running in 2020.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.) had the grace to recognize Senator John McCain, whose funeral is Saturday.

President Trump did not attend Ms. Franklin's funeral but you know he tweeted about her passing: "The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, is dead. She was a great woman, with a wonder gift from God, her voice. [Good thing he made that clear so that people living under rocks will understand.] She will be missed."

Sarah Palin excluded from Sen. John McCain's funeral

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has been excluded from Sen John McCain's funeral, according to Breitbart News. She was McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election and was constantly attacked by the media and SNL for not being a Democrat while being a woman.

"I can see Russia from my house," was never said by Palin, but Tina Fey made a cottage industry out of her impression of her to the extent that gullible viewers [aka liberals/socialists] of the show believed Palin actually made that statement.

Originally, People magazine reported that Palin was not sent an invitation and this was later confirmed by Breitbart News. She was told by intermediaries to stay away from the entire ceremony, possibly due to her refusing to move to the left along with McCain's occasional leanings.

People magazine believes the invite was not sent at the behest of the McCain family, and the news comes ten years to the day when McCain announced Palin as his running mate.

Ms. Palin now has the distinction of joining President Trump on the list of the banned.

But Palin, unlike Trump, never bad-mouthed McCain nor criticized him. Trump, on the other hand, said that McCain was not a war hero because he was captured, and for Trump, real heroes don't get captured.

This was simply the wrong thing for Trump to say. McCain was clearly, unmistakably a war hero. He was shot down twice in Vietnam and the second time when flying his A4 Skyhawk over Hanoi, he "punched out" [ejected] and was captured and tortured. He was offered early release because his father was the top-ranking military officer, but he refused, knowing it would be propaganda for the North Vietnam cause and demoralizing to the men left in prison.

Yes, like his politics of not [and mostly I didn't] John McCain was a hero and my brother.

Trump was wrong not to keep the flag at half-staff until after the interment, but at least he got it right a bit later, probably under pressure from his top staff.

When the news broke of McCain's death, Palin said: "Today we lost an American original. Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life--and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self.

"John McCain was my friend. I will remember the good times. My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family."

Last year McCain reportedly said he was sorry he chose Palin as his running mate, but even after that, Palin never said a negative thing about him and always honored him. Even after being excluded from the funeral, she refused to criticize him.

People quoted a source close to the Palin family: "[O]ut of respect for Sen. McCain and his family we have nothing to add at this point. The Palin family will always cherish their friendship with the McCains and hold those memories dear."

Sen. John McCain will be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday.

McCaskill votes against Trump's CIA pick

Sen. Claire "No Lips" McCaskill (D-Mo.) "put partisan politics over national security," another senator charged after she voted against Gina Haspel to be the first female CIA director.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) made that statement about the Missouri liberal as she voted the party line, which is anything Trump wants, vote against. The two states border each other.

But worse than her vote was the reason she gave--it was classified and she couldn't talk about it.

On a positive note, 54 senators, including six Democrats, supported Haspel's appointment and she was, indeed, confirmed.

Cotton said McCaskill values "obstructionist politics" over "keeping this country safe."

"McCaskill proved once again that she is so liberal, and so reflexively opposed to the president that she cannot represent Missourians in the Senate," Cotton said during a conference call organized by McCaskill's opponent in the upcoming Senate race, Republican Josh Hawley. "She put partisan politics over national security."

McCaskill used a clever ploy saying that she was influenced by Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona who voted against Haspel's confirmation.

McCain is suffering from terminal brain cancer and is a sympathetic figure to anyone with a heart. During the Vietnam War, he was captured and tortured. He is a strong advocate who opposes waterboarding, which he considers torture, and although Haspel was a CIA employee under John Brennan, he blames her for the agency's perfectly legal use of waterboarding at that time, and thus, voted against her confirmation.

But like a reporter who makes wild accusations against President Trump and only cites anonymous sources, McCaskill has done a similar thing with her so-called reason for voting against Haspel--it's classified ['if I tell you, I'll have to kill you'].

"I cross-examined her on the classified material. And I was very uncomfortable with her answers," 'No Lips' told the Associated Press. "I wish I could explain to all my constituents the details of all that, but the law will not allow me to do so."

Just like the law doesn't allow illegal immigrants protection from the law, but try telling that to a liberal.

"I can tell you this," McCaskill said in a conspiratorial whisper, "if everyone in Missouri read and listened to her answers to the questions I asked, I believe that a vast majority of Missourians would have voted the same way I did."

Yeah, sure. Brennan gets confirmed and has Khalid Sheikh Mohammed waterboarded, which helps avoid further deaths, and somehow Haspel is culpable because Donald Trump nominated her.

Let's hope that McCaskill loses her Senate seat in the midterms; she deserves it.

POTUS calls WH leakers 'traitors'

"Behold my fickle finger of fate"

President Trump blasted White House leakers as "traitors" and vowed to hunt them down like dogs.

The leak in question (this time) was something that was said by an aide regarding the nomination of a CIA director, Gina Haspel. According to the source(s), White House aide Kelly Sadler responded to the announcement that John McCain will vote 'nay' on Haspel's nomination by saying, "It doesn't matter, he's dying anyway."

Rather than having Sadler apologize, or do the job himself, Trump tweeted: 

"The so-called leaks coming out of the White House are a massive over exaggeration put out by the Fake News Media in order to make us look as bad as possible. With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they are!"

Yes, it's a good point about leakers being traitors to the president, but Sadler privately apologized to Meghan McCain, which tells me that she said those words. The fact that President Trump is calling it fake news dilutes the narrative when news is, indeed, fake. And the fact that nobody has issued a public apology troubles me.

If I were Trump, I would grill every person in that room when those words were said and fire anyone remotely suspected of leaking them. 

This has to stop.

But if I were Trump, I would also issue a sincere apology. I don't agree with almost all of McCain's political actions but nobody who is dying of cancer and may have only a few more months to live, deserves to be spoken about that way.

Oh, and I would fire Sadler in a heartbeat--John McCain's heartbeat.

Parkland shooting opportunist goes verbally attacks war hero

David Hogg skipping high school

Parkland shooting opportunist David Hogg, 17, stands on the graves of the victims killed on Feb. 14 by a mentally ill shooter and he used his unearned "expertise" to attack Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for being the top recipient of NRA funding in Congress.

"Why do you take so much money from the NRA?" Hogg asked in response to McCain's tweet about the Phoenix-area "Rio Reimagined" redevelopment project.

While McCain had not yet responded to Hogg's question, perhaps he should tell the teen something along these lines:

"I am the number one recipient for NRA money among all members of Congress for a reason. First of all, I support the Constitution of the United States and that includes all of the Amendments therein. The Second Amendment isn't about hunting--it's about a citizen's God-given right to defend him or herself and their family.

"Second, I support the traditions and ideals of the NRA--they teach gun safety and responsible gun ownership. They were never against background checks, but the left would have you believe that lie. 

"In 2013 I took a lot of guff from my side of the aisle because I supported a bipartisan compromise on gun-purchase background checks, even though it never cleared the Senate floor. My heart was in the right place but you were 12 years old and probably too busy playing violent video games to follow politics.  In fact, I was one of only four Republicans to vote for that legislation. 

"Finally, I don't know why you and others in your school are attacking the NRA instead of going after those in law enforcement and mental health who didn't do their jobs, which would have stopped the shooter before he could have ever gotten his hands on a firearm. The Broward County Sheriff's Department, the FBI and the mental health facility who deemed the young man "not a danger to self or others" dropped the ball in this case--the NRA had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting, but they are the 'go-to' organization liberals go after before the dead are even buried.

I am not a big fan of Sen. John McCain on many issues. Some say he's a RINO because they don't like that he's often willing to work both sides of the aisle. I believe that's true, but I also know that McCain has done a lot more for the country than this teenage bag of bull crap has done, and I offer no apology for my opinion, unlike Laura Ingraham who apologized for tweeting that Hogg whined about not being accepted by four colleges.

After Ingraham apologized, Hogg tweeted to boycott her sponsors and one sponsor, Hulu, complied. That should give you an idea as to what to do with Hulu and with Hogg--just pay them no mind.

POTUS ignores warnings: congratulates Putin

President Trump is behaving like a defiant, oppositional teenager. 

Trump's national security team told him not to congratulate Putin during a phone call on "winning" his reelection for a fourth term Tuesday. They even placed a section in his briefing materials that read: "DO NOT CONGRATULATE" in all-capital letters, but  they forgot to put an exclamation point at the end to show they meant it! So he congratulated Putin during the phone call.

Sad!

Trump also failed to follow aides' instructions that he condemn Putin over the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in the U.K., according to The New York Post. But in defense of Trump, at least he didn't congratulate him on the successful poisoning.

The president told reporters that he offered his well wishes on Putin's new six-year term and said that he and Vladimir will "probably be meeting in the not-too-distant future."

The U.S. and U.K. are among the countries that have pointed to Russia as being responsible for the attack. Of course Russia has denied the allegations, but what's a motherland to do?

Sen. John McCain (RINO-Ariz.) said in a statement that "an American president [which he will never be] does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future, including the countless Russian patriots who have risked so much to protest and resist Putin's regime."

On this one, I have to go along with McCain . . . but only on this one.

Getty Images

A reporter asked White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders whether she thought the Russian election was "free and fair." 

She told the reporter that the U.S. doesn't "get to dictate how other countries operate."

I think Trump blew it on this one. I think his need to be liked by almost everyone in the room, and his disdain of being told what to do, no matter whether the advice is good or bad, control, alt, deletes his judgment.

That is not a good thing.

And if you hate me for saying it, perhaps you need to consider if you really agree with everything Trump says and does because he's always right, or because you're seeing him as a charismatic leader.

Nobody is always right.

HuffPost writer joked about John McCain's impending death

Feinberg's obesity may get her there first

HuffPost senior alleged "reporter" Ashley Feinberg posted a quite disgusting tweet about Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for which she has since apologized. She basically predicted that the senator would die in the near future and would thus leave his family to benefit from an overhauled estate tax.

"Congratulations to John McCain's wife and children on their upcoming tax-free inheritance," the creep Feinberg tweeted Thursday soonafter McCain announced that he would support the Senate Tax Reform bill, designed to put an end to double taxing--that is, taxing funds that had previously been taxed on a property under a particular value.

"After careful thought and consideration, I have decided to support the Senate Tax Reform bill," McCain said in a statement. "I believe this legislation, though far from perfect, would enhance American competitiveness, boost the economy, and provide long-overdue tax relief for middle-class families."

Now that McCain supports the bill, there is a decent chance for it to pass as it faces a likely final vote.

The HuffPost leftist thought it was now a good time to tweet to her followers that the senator from Arizona is undergoing treatment for brain cancer. 

McCain went public in July that he was diagnosed with glioblastoma. "The prognosis is very, very serious," he said on CBS's "60 Minutes" in September.

The Senate bill would not eliminate the estate tax, but it would double the exemption. It's a tax on the transfer of property after someone's death. The property in question must exceed a certain dollar value for the tax to be applicable.

After normal people (aka conservatives and some independents) slammed Feinberg for her mean-spirited comment, she deleted her tweet and apologized.

"I shouldn't have been glib and callous in pointing out that John McCain's family stands to benefit massively from the estate tax provision in the tax bill he's voting on this week, and I am sorry for that," she lied. "I deleted the tweet it's not worth it."

That last sentence reveals exactly how she really feels about her disgusting comment. If it was worth it, if there was no blowback, she would have likely doubled down on it.

Feinberg and the HuffPost did not immediately respond for requests of additional information by the media.

Trump handed historic victory

Thanks to a Republican and a Democrat, President Trump is kicking federal judiciary butt while Al Franken is grabbing butt and telling us how sad it makes him feel.

We don't care how you feel, Al. Your feelings don't matter.

Anyway, the Republican to whom Trump owes a thank you is Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). The senator is the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and has just used that clout to get rid of one of the final hurdles regarding judicial appointments to the federal bench.

Specifically, last week Grassley decided not to hold u hearings for judicial nominees who aren't first cleared by their own home state senators. This is a Senate tradition known as "blue slip courtesy" that originated at a period in our history before communication technology and the state senator had access to much more information than the rest of the nation.

Grassley noted that Democrats were trying to use the blue slips tradition to replace the filibuster that their fellow Democrat, now retired, Harry Reid made possible by killing the filibuster rules. (Yes, Reid is the Democrat that President Trump should thank.) So Grassley gifted Trump with the ability to appoint federal judges. 

This comes at a time when the media is covering stories about Trump's difficulties working with Congress, especially Senators Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and John McCain. This, of course, is understandable  because it's unprecedented for a president to feud as much as Trump has with his own party this early in his presidency.

And unless the Democrats can win the Senate majority in 2018, there is nothing they can do about it.

It's obvious that Trump is going to take the credit for the appointments, but that's okay--it's what presidents do.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Wow: More Moore accusations

Another accuser came forward against Alabama senatorial candidate for the GOP,  Roy Moore with a sexual allegation.

Both sides, including Republicans, and make-believe Republican John McCain, say that Moore should step aside and let someone take his place.

The second woman to accuse Moore of sexual misconduct when she was a minor, Beverly Young Nelson, claims Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 15 and 16. Ms. Nelson held a news conference Monday with high-profile attorney Gloria "take 'em to the cleaners" Allred. 

Moore, 70, called the allegations a "witch hunt" in a statement that came just before the Nelson press conference.

Nelson's statement comes after a Washington Post report that Moore had sexual contact with a 14-year-old child and pursued three other teens decades earlier.

Moore had no comment about the recent allegations and dismissed the Post report as "fake news."

Sadly, Moore continues to refuse to bow out of the upcoming election, which practically guarantees a win for the Democrats.

It doesn't matter that leftists can get away with the same behavior that Moore is being accused of--what he did was slimy and just because the left does it, there's no excuse for rationalizing it away. 

(See, for example: Jerry Seinfeld and others.)

Moore has refused to quit the race, even with the mounting pressure. If he really cared for the GOP, he'd bow out and allow a write-in vote to replace him on the ballot.

McCain's integrity circles the bowl

BFFs for life

Senator John McCain told the media that he cannot support the Graham-Cassidy proposal to repeal and replace Obamacare--a main issue he ran on for his reelection to the Senate.

The reason for McCain's turnaround on his promise is simple: he's a lying RINO in bed with the Democrats and hates President Trump to the point where his hatred takes precedence over his integrity.

CNBC reported:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Friday said he "cannot in good conscience vote for the Graham Cassidy proposal.

McCain is one of four Republican senators who have been undecided on the GOP healthcare overhaul, and his opposition dealt the bill's chances a significant blow.

Also on Friday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she is leaning toward voting NO on Graham Cassidy. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has already expressed his opposition to the bill, which he said didn't fully repeal the Affordable Care Act.

If all three of these votes are nay votes, the bill would not pass. Republicans have until Sept. 30 to pass a health care bill with only 50 votes. After that, they will need 60 votes, a nearly impossible threshold to meet. 

So it's obvious that hating a Trump success, at least in McCain's case, outweighs a campaign promise. 

And they wonder why the approval rate of congress is in the toilet.

Prof. calls McCain "war criminal"

A La-La Land college professor bravely called Senator John McCain a "war criminal" because he fought for the United States of America in the Vietnam War and he didn't. The professor is also annoyed at well wishes McCain has received after being diagnosed with brain cancer because nobody ever sends him well wishes or even get well cards. 

Shucks.

A war criminal is a person who, in time of war, commits atrocities against enemy prisoners. 

McCain's atrocity as a prisoner of war was to allow his captors to torture him which may have given them bad dreams later on in life. He was tortured so badly that he cannot raise one arm above his shoulders. 

The professor, Jonathan Graubart, indoctrinates young people at San Diego State University. 

Graubart appears to be the type of scumtruffle who pleasures himself gazing lovingly at photos of Jane Fonda riding a North Vietnamese anti aircraft cannon in her commie helmet. 

"I find myself annoyed at the groundswell of good wishes for John McCain after his diagnosis of glioblastoma and have been thinking through way," the complaint Nazi said on the day McCain went public about the cancer.

"McCain is a war criminal and, more to the point, someone who as a politician has championed horrifying actions and been lousy on state commitment to public health," the former circus promoter and failed juggler said [Google him]. "So dying or not, he's a risible public figure (I have no idea what he is like on the personal level and don't care)."

Graubart and his 'favorite' student

Some students found Graubart's comments 'shocking'. 

Those students who were okay with the remarks were probably okay with the Berkeley riots which caused serious property damage to the school when several non-liberal speakers were to give speeches.

One SDSU student, Ben Dilbeck told KGTV, "I would never wish cancer upon my worst enemy and then to be annoyed by people just wishing you the best for having cancer, I just thought it was totally inappropriate."

You don't have to agree ideologically with someone to wish them well; and you certainly don't wish them death.

Graubart is obviously a disturbed, angry, jejune little man (if that, indeed, is how he self-identifies), and is a discredit to the school. He has never been in a war, nor does he have the slightest idea of what a war criminal really is, and what a hero John McCain is to the men who were imprisoned with him.

If John McCain is a war criminal, then so am I and the men and women I served with over there.

Except, like Antifa calling conservatives 'fascists', he's got it backwards.

According to his staff, further medical consultations "will indicate when he will return to the United States Senate." 

Diana Orrock may get her "Amen" wish. Her timing and stupidity could not be better timed. Click on her name to get the story.

GOP national committee-moron Diana Orrock sucks

Republican national committeemoron Diana Orrock of Nevada tweeted "Amen" in response to a comment made by another idiot on Twitter who had previously tweeted "Please Just (expletive) Die Already" above #JohnMcCain.

Is this the kind of person you want in an official GOP position?

McCain, who is 80, is recuperating from surgery to remove a blood clot above his eye.

RNC spokesman Ryan Mahoney called Orrock's disgusting tweet "extremely inappropriate."

It's really worse than simply being "extremely inappropriate," it's cruel, sadistic and beneath the dignity of an appointed public official. It also smacks of liberal thinking.

Mahoney called McCain a war hero who made countless sacrifices on behalf of all Americans.

Maybe you think saying that is going too far. Okay, the sacrifices McCain made were for his fellow prisoners of war being held by the North Vietnamese. He elected to stay behind even when he was allowed to be repatriated.

I wonder what sacrifices Orrock has ever made on behalf of anyone other than herself or family.

Orrock did what any coward would do after getting outed on Twitter: she deleted the tweet and refused to respond with a comment about her disgusting sentiment.

I don't care what you think of John McCain's politics, whether you consider him a RINO or a swamp-dweller. McCain is a war hero in a was I fought in and I respect his service and his incredible courage.

Anyone wishing him a speedy death deserves to go first.

McCain hasn't yet met with POTUS since he took office

Brussels -- Senator John McCain (R-AZ) spoke at German Marshall Fund's Brussels Forum where he complained that since President Trump took office, he has not been invited to meet with him and feels slighted and unwanted. He urged Trump to reach out to his opponents on both sides of the aisle, just like Ronald Reagan did, if he wants to appeal Obamacare.

"Do some outreach. Get to know some of the Democratic leaders," he said, after having sung "Kumbaya" with Democratic-ish politicians like Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan, who was there in spirit only. "You can find common ground," McCain added, referring to the idea of giving up conservative values.

McCain said he'd met Trump years ago when he was a businessman, but hadn't met him since. But was quick to add that he does speak a heck of a lot to National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, adding that they are both BFFs.

Derek Chollet of German Marshall Fund and a former Obama Pentagon official sided with McCain saying that "He doesn't seem to be that upset that he's not talking to him. He's trying to run U.S. defense policy through Mattis and effectively ignore Trump."

The White House had no response to the request for comment.

McCain has always been a vocal Trump critic and said of his tweet-diarrhea that it has caused "a great deal of uncertainty" regarding who he listens to as president. "Who drives the tweets at 6 a.m. in the morning?" he said redundantly as there is no 6 a.m. at night or afternoon.

The aging Senator also expressed concerns over the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Moscow, but didn't seem to care a fiddler's fart about the fact that leaking those names is a felony. "I have significant concerns about the intelligence committee's ability to get to the bottom of this issue," McCain said. "We need a select committee."

But he emphasized that the controversy shouldn't stop Trump from meeting with Russian counterparts to make tremendous deals that are very, very good deals.

"I just hope that one day Donald and I can be good friends and let bygones be bygones."

BREAKING: Trump accepts blame for stuff

In what may be an unprecedented (as opposed to 'unpresidented') move by President Trump, he has taken responsibility for any communication miscues that have diminished the effectiveness of his message in the start of his administration.

Mr. Trump said on "Fox & Friends" that his joint address to Congress Tuesday tonight will focus on jobs, the military, health care and the border.

He cited his immigration policy and said that perhaps, maybe, possibly the rollout plan to keep out and remove illegal, criminal aliens may have not been "communicated effectively." Yes, he said 'effectively' rather than 'good.'

And in a brave move added, "And maybe that's my fault."

Perhaps.

He awarded himself a grade of "C" or perhaps maybe a "C-plus" on communicating, straightforwardly admitting, "My messaging isn't good."

Sad!

On immigration the president said: "We're getting the bad ones out, the bad people, gang people, drug lords, in some cases, murderers."

"I'm much tougher in getting the bad guys out," he said, comparing himself to former failed President Barack Obama. "He was much less focused on that."

Regarding health care, Trump said his soon-to-be-released replacement for the ACA is "really terrific" and "inclusive," and said Congress is correct in taking their time to repeal the current law.

"I think we have a great plan and I think Congress is absolutely taking a lot of blame, but it's not their fault. I've only been here for--what, is this my fifth week?"

President Trump proposed a $54 billion increase in defense spending as he plans large cuts to the EPA and State Department. He suggested Tuesday that foreign aid would be a target of the cuts.

"We're going to do things having to do with other countries because we're treated very, very unfairly," Mr. Trump said, with an emphasis on the second 'very.' "We're taking care of the military and we're not being reimbursed. They're wealthy countries."

Now that's a very, very good point.

He vowed to use his "Art of the Deal" (available at all major book stores and at Amazon.com) expertise to drive down costs.

"I am going to get involved in negotiating," the president said. "We have many planes and boats and ships . . . we're spending too much money individually on." He added the U.S. would "get a lot more product for our buck."

Some of the monetary increases he said would "come from a revved up economy." He pointed to the manufacturers and auto makers, such as GM, Ford and Carrier, that have announced that they will invest in the U.S.-based factories and jobs since he was elected.

In defense of Mr. Trump, the delay in job creation has been stalled due to Chuck 'Mega-Nostril' Schumer's delay tactics over the confirmation of Scott Pruitt for EPA administrator. When Pruitt "gets going" it's going to mean "thousands and millions of jobs," Trump said. "We have hundreds and hundreds of massive deals that are tied up in environment protection."

The President pledged to provide the U.S. with "the greatest military we've ever had by the time I finish." He then spoke somberly about the January 29th operations mission in Yemen that resulted in the death of a Navy SEAL.

Sen. John McCain criticized the raid saying he would "not describe any operation that results in the loss of American life as a success," which means he believes that the D-Day invasion and Iraqi surge were failures.

Not knowing the classified details of the daring operation, McCain should wait before giving his opinion.

Stupid!

Trump again went after the press, questioning whether many journalists are making up stuff that he refers to as "fake news."

"I believe that sometimes they don't have sources," he said. "I believe that a lot of the sources are made up. I believe a lot of the sources are pure fiction. They just pull it out of thin air."


Except when they report positively about him, even with anonymous sources.

McCain disses Trump in Europe

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is talking trash about our president to a security conference in Munich. 

McCain, a vocal critic of Trump said the president's administration was in "disarray" and that the NATO alliance will be alarmed by his administration's growing inability of "separating truth from lies." He explained that the forced resignation of Michael Flynn, Trump's national security adviser, shows there are serious problems in the administration. 

Flynn was asked to resign as National Security Adviser due to his having communication with a Russian diplomat and lying about it to VP Pence. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton also had face-to-face talks with the Russians and the press did not discuss it.

"I think that the Flynn issue obviously is something that shows that in many respects this administration is in disarray and they've got a lot of work to do," he inappropriately told the Europeans. "The president, I think, makes statements [and] on other occasions contradicts himself. So we've learned to watch what the president does as opposed to what he says," McCain said.

The US senator spoke of a shift away from "universal values" in the United States and Europe, which forged a NATO alliance. He said the founders of NATO would be "alarmed by the growing inability, and even unwillingness, to separate truth from lies." 

The truth is, however, the NATO alliance is obsolete, as it was designed to deal with the Soviet Union, which is no longer in existence. But that's a different story.

McCain, who is chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said that "more and more of our fellow citizens seem to be flirting with authoritarianism and romanticizing it as our moral equivalent."

Although Europe appears uncomfortable with Trump's international policy statements, both Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have eased concerns by expressing a more traditional stance at a meeting of G20 countries in Bonn..

Vice President Mike Pence is to address the Munich conference on Saturday and is expected to reassure Europe that it's an indispensable American partner.

Hopefully, McCain will refrain from 'bad-mouthing' our administration when he is outside the country--he sounds too much like a previous president who couldn't help himself from doing the same thing.
