Pretends to be "only conservative" in AZ Gov. race but donated to Obama and Kerry

Never trust a donkey in elephant's clothing. 

Former news anchor Kari Lake announced her candidacy in June on the GOP ticket in the Arizona governor's race. She is claiming that she's the "only conservative, America First Trump Republican in the race," but rather than proving her conservative beliefs, Lake has been spending the last few weeks defending the fact that she has a history of donating to Democrats such as Barack Hussein Obama and John "The Ketchup Gigolo" Kerry.

For those living on a Pacific island thinking the war is not over, both Obama and Kerry are not merely Democrats, they're flaming Democrats. 

On June 15th, Lake accused a local reporter of conducting a "hit piece interview" when he attempted to confirm the contributions, saying the line of questioning was "unethical" and "slanted."

Of course it isn't unethical. It shows where she stands and it seems like she stands behind a manure spreader.

"I just think it's really interesting that the crux of this interview is about, ‘Wow, she's donated in the past. Or she might've voted Democrat before,'" Lake said. "Who gives a crap? Who cares?"

I cannot speak for anyone else, but if I lived in beautiful Arizona, I would care. She running for governor of the state and if she wins, she would have the power to affect the lives of a lot of people and they would give a crap and possibly a pee.

While Lake's campaign did not return a request for comment, she has explained her contributions to Democrats in other local interviews by saying she "was really excited about the first black president" and "thought the Republican Party had lost its way with the endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq."

"I was so concerned that it caused me to change party affiliation from Republican to an independent and then for a short time a Democrat, but I returned to the Republican Party in 2012 and have been ever since," Lake told 12 News in June.

Financial disclosures show that Lake contributed a combined $850 to Kerry and Obama's presidential campaigns in 2004 and 2008, respectively. The 2004 donation marked her first ever political contribution. Lake officially left the GOP two years later, changing her party affiliation to independent ahead of the 2006 midterm elections, according to NBC's Phoenix affiliate. She went on to register as a Democrat in January 2008 and held the affiliation for four years.

She sounds confused. How has Kerry, of all people, get anyone, other than James Taylor, excited? And why did she contribute [and likely vote for him] to his campaign? He isn't Black and he certainly is far-Left.

And she appears to have voted for the most liberal senator of 2007 because he is Black. So it stands to reason that this faux conservative is more concerned with melanin than she is with political ideology.

If you vote for her, you are clearly voting for a phony opportunist who, like Joe Biden, speaks out of both sides of his mouth--only with Lake, she can put an entire sentence together.

Lake, a RINO, joins a crowded Republican field to replace outgoing GOP governor Doug Ducey. Additional candidates include state treasurer Kimberly Yee, businessman Steve Gaynor, and former congressman Matt Salmon, all of whom are more conservative than Lake.

Liberal hypocrites still stuck on a word they all use to dump Trump

Hypocrites in the Democratic Party said Friday they will try to censure President Trump next week for saying something similar to what other presidents have said, like when President Obama called Libya a s**tshow. 

Or when Lyndon B. Johnson was asked why he didn't take a speech by Richard Nixon more seriously when he was Senate majority leader and Nixon was Vice President and responded, "Boys, I may not know much, bit I do know the difference between chicken s**t and chicken salad."

Or in 2003 when then Sen. John "Hair-plugs" Kerry told Rolling Stone about his decision to vote for the Iraq war, said, "Did I expect George Bush to f**k it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did."

Or in 2008 when former president Clinton was upset as Obama overtook Hillary in the primaries. He didn't know anyone could hear him, after an interview with a radio station in Philadelphia that put him on the defense over racial equality issues. Clinton said, "I don't think I should take any s**t from anybody on that, do you?"

So Rep. Cedric Richmond, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus that doesn't allow black conservative congressmen to join, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, rank Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said they're going to pursue the censure after the MLK Jr. holiday.

Somalia's deadliest Islamic terrorist attack: 276 dead

An incredibly massive bomb blast, the likes of which have never been seen in Somalia's capital of Mogadishu has killed 276 people and injured around 300 more, the Somali information minister said Monday. This is the deadliest single attack in the Horn of Africa nation and the death toll could rise higher.

Minister of Information, Abdirahman Osman, called the attack "barbaric" and if you consider the word, he isn't totally wrong. 

The Ottoman Corsairs Barbary pirates, from where the word is derived, operated from North Africa and were mainly based in ports of Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, Salé and Rabat. The area was known as the Barbary Coast, a term derived from the Berber natives. Their predatory behavior extended throughout the Mediterranean.

They seized ships and engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mostly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, and they even went as far as the British Isles and the Netherlands.

The main purpose for the attacks was to capture Christian slaves for the Ottoman slave trade and the general Muslim slavery market in North Africa and Middle East.

And although this attack wasn't meant to capture anyone, but meant to kill as many people as possible, the actors in the attack were of the same religion and mindset as their predecessors.  

So yes, it was a barbaric attack. All jihadi attacks are barbaric and done in the name of religion. A truck bomb targeted a crowded street near major government ministries.

According to Osman, Turkey and Kenya have already offered to send medical assistance.

The Somali government blames al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab for the attack that it's now calling a "national disaster." The terror group vowed to increase attacks after President Trump and Somalia's recently elected president said they will introduce new military efforts against them.

"Nearly all of the wounded victims have serious wounds," Samir Abdi, a nurse tending to the wounded said. "Unspeakable horrors." The wounds were horrific.

Rescue workers searched for survivors trapped under rubble of the Safari Hotel--it was mostly destroyed and is close to Somalia's foreign ministry.

Not surprisingly, the United States and the U.N. condemned the bombing. The U.S. sounding a lot like the Obama administration used words and said "such cowardly attacks reinvigorate the commitment of the United States to assist our Somali and African Union partners to combat the scourge of terrorism."

I'm sure John Kerry was happy to hear us use words that he so often used. Only we forgot to add that we condemned it "in the strongest possible terms." That should scare the hell out of al Shabaab.

Spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned the attack, causing many al-Shabaab jihadis to commit suicide out of fear of being strongly condemned. 

Wait . . . no, they didn't. But at least we're still using the same strong words.

Theocratic dictatorship calls Trump a 'dictator'

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani called President Trump a "dictator." That's like Rouhani calling Benjamin Netanyahu "antisemitic." It's nothing more than a bad joke.

The nasty finger-pointing came after Trump announced he wouldn't re-certify Iran's compliance under the nuclear deal.

"The Iranian people will not bend down before a dictator," Rouhani said. "It has never surrendered and will never."

Next he said that "No paragraph or article or note will be added" to the deal to please Trump.

So it's clear, Iran wants to continue developing nuclear weapons behind our back. They refuse to allow us to inspect military facilities where weapons are likely being developed, and they provide inspectors with soil samples rather than allowing actual inspections to be done properly.

Of course it's a bad deal. Trump is exactly right and he's also totally justified in de-certifying the deal because there's no honest way to inspect Iran's nuclear activity.

With all Rouhani's tough talk, I suspect we're not going to see their Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps boarding U.S. Navy vessels in the future--certainly not without retaliation by us. 

Trump was clearly correct in saying the 2015 deal brokered by the Obama administration was not in the national security interests of the United States and it only helped Iran in their support of terrorist organizations in the Middle East.

"We will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence, more terror and the very real threat of Iran's nuclear breakout," Trump said.

Rouhani isn't the only other person who hates the U.S. to condemn Trump's decision. John "Hair plugs" Kerry condemned it as well.

"I strongly hope that the other six signatories will prove to the world what responsible behavior is, and adhere to this agreement--no matter what false accusations and contrived provocations are put forward by President Trump," Kerry said.

Responsible behavior would have been to actually put forward a deal that was a 'two-way street' rather than what was crafted. 

The deal stinks of desperation.

Merkel okay with having riots in Hamburg at G20

German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended her decision to host the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany's second largest city and the inventor of the delicious and famous Frankfurter. 

After all the rioting, looting, burning of private businesses and basic anarchy in the streets of that once lovely town, not to mention the over 200 police who were hurt in the rioting as well as the rioters, Merkel has promised taxpayer money for store owners, but said nothing about what she wants to do for the injured cops.

Angela spoke at the end of the summit and told the press that, from purely a logical point of view, the G20 gathering had to be held in a large city to accommodate the hordes of rioters they expected. "Imagine those hot, sweaty bodies of angry protesters all stuck in a tiny area with their Molotov cocktails and signs about how capitalism is destroying dictatorships. Why they would go berserk and burn even more private businesses and perhaps even kill each other," Merkel ruminated.

"Hamburg was chosen as a symbol of trade and openness where people from all walks of life could do what they want, even if it's to simply fire up a fat one and enjoy the rising smoke," the Chancellor added. "Hamburg was chosen because the city of 1.7 million contains our largest port and richest state per capita income.

"Und let's face it," she said, "just because over 200 brave police were injured and 260 or so protesters were detained, along mit der looting und car burning, is not a gut vay to remember Hamburg," she said, lapsing into Germglish for a moment.

She then pulled out an index card given to her by the Obama administration on Barack's visit to Germany and read: "I condemn in the strongest terms the unchained violence and unrestrained brutality that the police faced repeatedly during the G20."

Barack Obama and John Kerry would have been proud of those brave words.

Kerry--still stupid, after all these years

Former Communist-sympathizer and Secretary of State John Kerry ripped President Trump's intelligent decision to undo the Obama executive order and got us out of the Paris climate debacle. 

As we've been laughing at with the leftists going berserk over the move, Kerry is saying that "kids will have worse asthma" because Trump opted us out.

Yes--it's the children who will suffer. Suffer the poor children. What kind of animal would do that to kids?

"He is not helping the forgotten American . . . their kids will have worse asthma in the summer," the lantern-jaw hiker-biker-wind-sailor told MSNBC.

Meanwhile, it's Kerry and Obama whose weekly carbon footprints are larger than those of Montana in a year.

Kerry said Trump lied to us and put America "last," not first, and made the country an "environmental pariah" to the world. Then he flew home in his private jet, got on his gas-guzzling boat, and laughed like the lunatic he is.

Like Trump or hate him, his speech about the move was right on the money. We never voted on the accord because Obama knew it would never pass muster in the House and Senate, in spite of his party owning both branches of the legislature.

The agreement is non-binding. It was cobbled together like a bunch of dudes pledging to lose weight with each dude coming up with his own number of pounds to drop in the time the dude said he would. But if he didn't lose weight, it didn't matter because it was a non-binding pledge. That was what the Paris climate deal was--a BS agreement that counted on us to do the heavy lifting while we became smaller on the global market and countries like China and India, huge polluters, would grow exponentially.

We would cut carbon emissions 26 percent by 2025 and contribute billions to developing nations to help them grow and then do the same. China was under no obligation to do any cutting--all they'd do is grow and outperform us as we became a footnote in the world.

This was the dumbest, worst deal we've ever done, except for the Iran deal.


Obama is an idiot and Kerry is his prophet.

Iran conducts ballistic missile test violating UN resolution

Iran conducted a ballistic missile test, the first under Donald Trump's presidency. Not only is it in violation of United Nations resolution 2231, but they may as well have painted the missile to look like a giant middle finger because it certainly flipped Trump off.

The launch went off Sunday near Semnan about 140 miles east of Tehran (about 225.308 kilometers, give or take 0.04 kilometers).

The Khorramshahr medium-range ballistic missile flew about 600 miles (about 965.606 kilometers) before blowing up, in a failed test of reentry. Iran defense minister Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan (aka "Hoss") said in September that Iran would start production of the missile, weeks before our presidential election in which Hillary Clinton lost.

The UN resolution went into effect days after the obviously useless Iran nuclear deal was signed. It calls on Iran not to conduct such tests, but did they listen? Did anyone but Obama and Kerry think they would?

This is at least Iran's second such test since July in spite of the resolution barring the conducting of ballistic missile tests for eight years and went into effect July 20, 2015. The text of the resolution clearly states that Iran is "called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology."

Of course, in the Obama administration's infinite wisdom, the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers doesn't have any provisions that can be used to prevent the terrorist country from conducting ballistic missile tests. Iran claims the tests are legitimate because they aren't designed to carry a nuclear warhead [this time]. 

President Trump spoke with Saudi King Salman on Sunday. They both "agreed on the importance of rigorously enforcing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran and of addressing Iran's destabilizing regional activities," the White House said in a statement.

Saudi Arabia is the seat of Sunni Islam, the main Islamic sect in the world comprising around 70 percent of all Muslims. Iran is a majority Shia nation. 

Not surprisingly, the Sunnis and Shias hate each other as both believe the other sect are apostates. 

A ballistic missile launch could potentially fall under "destabilizing regional activities." 

The launch came one day before Jordan's King Abdullah arrived in Washington to meet with VP Mike Pence and Defense Secretary Mattis. 

Coincidence or the second middle-finger flip off to Jordan?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be meeting with Trump February 15 and will discuss the Iran situation with him at that time.

"I will meet President Trump in Washington soon, and among the issues I will address is the need to renew the sanctions against Iran," Netanyahu wrote on Facebook Monday. (It is not known how many 'Likes' that statement received.) "Sanctions against the ballistic missiles, and other sanctions against the terror, and re-addressing the failed government on its nuclear capabilities.

"I know that this bothers not only Israel," Netanyahu added, "and not only the US but other countries in the region, Iran's aggression should not be ignored."

Our intelligence community was able to identify Iran's ballistic missile launch because of our robust satellite network. The system can detect the heat signatures of missile launches and explosions from bombs being dropped around the world.

Last March, Iran test-fired two ballistic missiles, one with the phrase: "Israel must be wiped out" in Hebrew written on the side.

So while Shias and Sunnis don't get along with each other, they both hate the Jews just as much. They are also intolerant of everyone else.

Last March, US Army Gen. Joseph Votel told lawmakers that we should continue to "expose" Iran for the role that they play in the region, including its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a chinless scum who dropped barrel bombs on his own people.

I think the time for talk is about over. Trump needs to do something to show Iran that we are "mad as hell and we aren't going to take it anymore."

What will Kerry say to Israel on Wednesday

As the year comes to a close and the Obama administration prepares to steal the silverware from the White House kitchen, one thing is clear: this president cannot leave quickly enough. 

Israel is getting prepared for yet another probable clash with the leftists who want to leave destruction in their wake--a wake that smells curiously like a used Degelman manure spreader. 

Yes, Israel has been stabbed in the back, betrayed and told that their settlements are illegal by a United Nations that is dominated by Islamic countries where anti-Semitism is part of the religion--the Al Fatiha, or first prayer of the day.

On Wednesday, our intelligence-compromised Secretary of State, Comrade John Kerry, plans to discuss the Middle East peace process. Kerry talking about Middle East peace is like Piers Morgan talking about the nomenclature of an AK-47. 

Kerry plans to give a major address on the U.S. vision for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I can imagine he will suggest Israel go back to its 1967 borders, a situation that will leave them totally vulnerable to the Islamic jihad that Hamas and other terrorist organizations dream about and only now believe will happen. 

The situation here in the U.S. is so bad that even Democrats are not on board with Obama's decision to screw Israel before he leaves office. 

Netanyahu is worried about the parameters comrade Kerry may lay out for a Palestinian state. The White House and State Department have offered some details about "Hair-plug" Kerry's planned speech.

Ben Rhodes, the Deputy National Security Adviser told Channel 2 that Kerry will lay out a comprehensive vision for how the U.S. sees the conflict being resolved.

Who the hell does the administration think they are to get involved with two countries (one of which is our ally, the other which isn't really a country) with resolving their differences? That should be between them.

When President-elect Trump is sworn in, things will likely change.

Hope and change.

China steals our underwater drone as we scratch our butts and look on

A Chinese Navy vessel stole one of our underwater research drones while a U.S. crew watched them do it. This all took place in a South China Sea area that is being contested by the Chinese and the Philippines.

The incident occurred around noon Thursday local time and happened about 40 miles west of the Philippines and 150 miles from Scarborough Shoal after the Chinese vessel had been shadowing the USNS Bowditch,  a US Navy-owned research ship, which deployed the Slocum Glider drone.

The ship is operated by Military Sealift Command, with a contracted civilian crew composed of mariners and scientists.

"This is an act of war against the United States," said Gordon Chang, an analyst an author of "The Coming Collapse of China," told Fox News. He called it an act of war because US military equipment was stolen.

The American crew watched the Chinese take the underwater drone from a short distance away--the Chinese vessel was about a quarter mile from the impotent Americans who kept their hands in their pockets as they looked in the opposite direction and whistling a tune. The US ship tried calling the Chinese vessel but they got a 'busy signal'.

The drone's cost is around $150,000 which, in Obama terms, is 'chump change.' He spends more than that on vacation, just for golf and ice cream.

Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook responded angrily: "We call upon China to return our [unmanned underwater vehicle] immediately, and to comply with all of its obligations under international law."

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest had no comments at the time it happened; he simply wet his pants and went back inside the building.

The State Department lodged a formal protest called a demarche, which the US Ambassador in Beijing delivered to the Chinese government Friday.

Chinese Embassy officials said they had no comment on the matter but we know that the incident is just China's way of flipping an 'inscrutable bird' at Barack Obama.

The United States is eagerly awaiting a response from President Obama or Secretary of State John Kerry, along with James Taylor on guitar and vocal. 

Best guess is that once Trump is sworn in, China and Russia are going to test him.

So don't blow it, Donald.

Syrian peace talks off with Russia: Putin backs out of nuke deal

Russia backed out of a joint deal with the U.S. to dispose of nuclear material and that was the last straw. We cut off negotiations with them over the Syrian civil war and what the future will hold for the embattled country is anybody's guess.

State Department spokesman John Kirby accused Russia of "intensified attacks against civilian areas" and for being responsible for a September 19th attack on a humanitarian aid convoy.

"This is not a decision that was taken lightly," Kirby said in a statement. Then he went on to explain just how hard we tried to make a case in the negotiations, but when we have people like the two Johns, Kerry and Kirby, you can expect the worst. Their total incompetence is palpable. 

"The United States spared no effort in negotiating and attempting to implement an arrangement with Russia aimed at reducing violence, providing unhindered humanitarian access and degrading terrorist organizations operating in Syria . . . Unfortunately, Russia failed to live up to its own commitments," Kirby said, obviously not taking into account that Russia is buddies with terrorists.

The U.S. is withdrawing personnel that it had sent to the area as part of a joint center between our two nations. 

Evidently, Putin sees that we are operating from a position of weakness and by recognizing that, we have just learned that they have deployed an anti-missile system to Syria. It's their way of flipping us the bird as they continue to support weak-chin Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.

The new missile system could counter any of our cruise missile attacks in Syria.

Someone claims that Islam is a religion of peace

Bangladesh President Md Abdul Hamid said that "Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion."

This horrible "misinterpretation" has gone viral throughout the globe, it seems. So many misunderstanders of Islam are not acting in a very peaceful manner and nobody, not any government, not even Hamid's very own government, is doing anything about it.

We need more people like Hamid, Barack Hussein Obama, George W. Bush, John Kerry and even Pope Francis to show the rest of us who may think Islam is the leading cause of global terrorism, why we've got it all wrong.

Hamid is urging us to just remain calm and alert. "Islam is a religion of peace. All people have to remain alert so that no one can create indiscipline in society by misinterpreting religion," he said during a reception marking the Holy Eid-ul-Azha at Bangabhaban on Tuesday. That is the second largest religious festival for Muslims.

"No religion support militancy and terrorism . . . the main message of all religions is to ensure the welfare of people," he said, having made no connection in to all that is written in the Koran calling for terrorism and fighting infidels.

The score: Muslims 10,745, all others 56

Barack Hussein Obama reached his goal of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States this year. In fact, the total number of refugees was 10,801. Of these, 17 are Yazidis and 41 are Christians. 

Christians comprise 0.5% of a population that makes up 10% of Syria's religions. 

Of the non-Muslim refugees, 56 were religiously oppressed in Syria (unlike Colin Kaepernick's definition of the word).

But the irony is, the reason for the oppression of Christians and Yazidis is due to their religion, and the oppressors are Muslims who are religiously commanded to oppress them. It's how Islam rolls.

There is absolutely no doubt that not enough is being done for Christians in the Middle East. They are being killed or banished by their Islamic neighbors and the West is doing nothing to stop the carnage or the oppression.

Since the civil war began in 2011, about 500,000 to 1 million Christians fled Syria and many have been specifically targeted and slaughtered by the Islamic State. Secretary of State John Kerry doesn't want the media to talk about terrorism, but there we go again, doing just that.

In March, Kerry said the U.S. had determined that ISIS has committed genocide against minority religious groups, including Christians and Yazidis, as instructed in the Koran. Of course, Kerry never mentioned the Koran, but I thought someone should.

"In my judgment, Daesh is responsible for genocide against groups in territory under its control, including Yazidiz, Christians and Shia Muslims," the intellectually challenged and follicle-gifted Kerry said. 

He likes to call the Islamic State 'Daesh.' It makes him feel intelligent, like when he doesn't crash on his bicycle, or when he remembers to say, "Please pass the Heinz."

Kerry accused ISIS of "crimes against humanity" and "ethnic cleansing," but the administration does nothing more than provide lip-service to the problem while infidels are dying across the globe.

In spite of Kerry's mentioning Christians and Yazidis, hardly anything has been done to bring these minorities to the U.S. as refugees. A State Department flunkee said that religion was only one of many factors used to determine a refugee's eligibility for entry into the country.

So in order to determine eligibility, the Department of Homeland Security  talks about a person's need to escape their home country for reasons of safety and freedom, etc. If any group of people deserve refugee status, according to DHS, it's Christians, Yazidis and other minorities in Syria. Those are the people in the most danger.

This administration is pretending that religion isn't a primary factor, but it is the primary reason that non-Muslims are being forced out of their homes. To turn a blind eye to this problem is to act as if Islam in the Middle East is tolerant of infidels.

Sadly, the total opposite is true and the facts prove it. In a 2014 article in Jihad Watch which admittedly is outdated, the changes in Muslim vs. Christian populations are discussed. The situation has worsened since then for Christians, but the article is insightful.

Erdogan calls for return of military asylum-seekers in Greece

Turkish officials are calling for Greece to return 8 "treacherous officers" who are seeking asylum there after a military coup attempt in Ankara Friday.

The failed attack by a small group of military officers ended with the deaths of at least 160 people and at least 1,000 injured.  

The officers flew to Greece seeking asylum and were identified as: two majors, one captain, and five privates, according to Anadolu Agency, a state-run news organization.

According to reports, the men were arrested when they illegally entered Greece, but they are currently analyzing the asylum demand by the eight military personnel. 

The Greek government said it will return a Turkish Blackhawk helicopter to Turkey "as soon as possible." Evidently, this is how the men made their escape from Turkey. 

The coup attempt was quashed by forces loyal to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a night of air battles, explosions and gunfire. Thousands were arrested and Erdogan, who has been slowly taking more and more power away from the people, has vowed that those responsible "will pay a heavy price for their treason." This will likely mean torture and death because Erdogan is an Islamist who follows the precepts of Sharia.

Gulen and Erdogan

The soldiers behind the coup at the military headquarters in Ankara have been taken into custody. May God have mercy on them because knowing Erdogan, they will need it.

The Andolu Agency report stated that anti-terrorism police [an oxymoron if there ever was one] will conduct a "detailed search"  at the headquarters, obviously to look for evidence pertaining to coup participants. 

NTV television showed a colonel and other soldiers being taken into custody at he HQ. They were being searched by special forces police, hands behind their heads, and kneeling on the ground in the same fashion. Some of the lower-ranking soldiers claimed they didn't know that they were part of a coup, but video may have disproved that claim.

Military chief of staff Gen. Hulusi Akar has taken over command of the operation against the coup plotters, according to CNN-Turk.

When the coup attempt began late Friday, the military involved said it had seized control "to reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms, to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for law and order to be reinstated."

Sadly, they lost in their attempt and will obviously pay for it with their blood.

A statement from the White House said President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry agreed that both sides "should support the democratically elected government of Turkey, show restraint and avoid any violence or bloodshed."

And they should know--Obama and Kerry have avoided getting involved with actually retaliating against Islamic jihad and refuse to discuss it.

Supposedly, the coup will have "no impact" on anti-ISIS missions flown out of Incirlik Airbase in southeastern Turkey, according to a senior Defense Department official. This may be true, but it's likely that the aftermath of the coup attempt will end up being bad for the United States.

The Judges and Prosecutors High Council, a governing body overseeing judges and prosecutors in Turkey, has dismissed 2,745 judges across the country in a likely attempt to make the country more Sharia-compliant and fall in line with Erdogan's leadership. They had an emergency meeting hours after the coup was quashed.

The meeting was called to discuss disciplinary measures against those suspected of having links to the movement led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. The Turkish government believes the coup was carried out by a small group within the military loyal to Gulen's movement.

Useless NATO's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg issued a statement calling for "calm and restraint," taking his cue from Obama and Kerry. Stoltenberg called for respect for Turkey's democratic institution and its constitution, but that's why they had a coup in the first place, proving once more that NATO has its collective head up its nether regions.

Leaders of Turkey's current* religious communities released a joint statement condemning the coup attempt. The statement came from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities declaring "our great sorrow over the terrorist attacks that disturb the peace of our great nation and of the world."

Erdogan spoke at Ataturk Airport early Saturday and spoke to the crowd of loyal Islamobots: "They have pointed the people's guns against the people. The president whom 52 percent of the people brought to power, is in charge. This government brought to power by the people is in charge. They won't succeed as long as we stand against them by risking everything."

Of course, Erdogan risked nothing as he was away from the country on vacation at the taxpayer's expense.



*If you have an IQ above room temperature, you must have observed how Christians and especially, Jews, have been disappearing from Islamic theocracies over the years. This is not coincidence but the result of Islamic scripture that commands Muslims to conquer, convert the infidels to Islam, or make them pay a tax called "jizyya" if they refuse to convert, and kill them if they don't pay up. This is one of the basic tenets of the "religion of peace."

UPDATE: Attack at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul

The moment the blast went off

UPDATE: The death toll from the jihadist attack at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey has risen to at least 36. Some sources put the death toll "nearing 50."  

President Obama has not addressed the attack as yet due to the lack of facts about the responsible party. He no longer has referred to ISIS as the JV team, but it is not yet clear if ISIS is responsible for it. All the earmarks point to the terror group, however.

Hillary Clinton referred to the attackers as "radical jihadists." The whole notion of jihad is 'radical' in the sense that it calls for war against infidels. A more accurate term would be 'Islamic terrorists.'

Donald Trump has said that "something is going on that is really, really bad." It's a good thing he reminded us that it's bad, but neither he nor Hillary have been specific about the problem. 

We need solutions, not a template whenever these attacks occur.


BREAKING: The latest information is that 3 suicide bombers have detonated their explosive vests at Ataturk Airport, killing at least 28 and wounding 60 others, 6 of whom are in critical condition.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, and based upon the weapons used it is likely the American left will not discuss the attack as it fails to fit their anti Second Amendment agenda.

Vasip Sahin, Istanbul's provincial governor, confirmed the death toll to NTV, Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency.

Initial reports said that there were two suicide bombers but later changed to three. Sahin's statement could not immediately be reconciled. 

"According to the information I was given, a terrorist at the international terminal entrance first opened fire with a Kalashnikov and then blew himself up.," Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag told the news agency.

Kalashnikov rifles are considered weapons of war in the United States, as are suicide vests, so nothing like that can ever happen here.

One official said that the attacker blew themselves to small, bite-size pieces once police began shooting at them. Another official said the bombers detonated their vests before passing through the X-ray security checkpoint.

Police sealed the terminal and no flights were able to take off or land at that time. Some flights bound for Ataturk were re-routed. Roads around the airport were also sealed off after the attack.

President Obama was briefed about the attack by his Homeland Security and Counterterrorism advisor Lisa Monaco in Arizona. 

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she was "awaiting a briefing" on the attacks and is preparing to send love notes and Happy Ramadan cards if the Islamic State claims responsibility. Ms. Lynch believes that "all you need is love." Ms. Lynch added that she "certainly we will be looking into it."

That's so reassuring to hear. i hope they get the nice cards before they plan another attack. They need to know we care about their feelings. And if we're lucky, we can help some of them find jobs.

John Kerry spoke in Aspen, CO saying that Daesh is losing and they are desperate. He failed to address the ideology behind the "why" someone would be willing to martyr him- or herself up for jihad.

This administration clown car is almost out of gas, unless Clinton wins the election.

Obama fails to discuss Iran's missile tests

The Two Amigos

In a move to make America mediocre again, the Obama administration is dodging the congressional inquiry that is examining their refusal to call Iran's ballistic missile tests a violation of the international statute barring such tests. The Obama folks prefer to call it "an Iranian science project," or some other euphemism to avoid any trouble.

Congress is frustrated and the more intelligent congressmen and women are rightfully worried that a mushroom cloud will be coming to their neighborhood one day soon.

Lawmakers on "the right side of history," are saying the administration is breaking their promise to enforce the missile ban, but they need to remember Obama's "red line in the sand" and get over it--our 'fearless leader' is too fearful to lead by taking a strong stand with practically all foreign countries, except Israel. 

Like Islamists and many leftists, Obama doesn't like Israel.

Capitol Hill lawmakers launched their investigation in early April into what they say is Obama's efforts to mislead Congress about the details of the nuclear deal of last summer. 

Of course, this was not the first time, nor will it be the last, that Obama has misled the American people. The 'hope and change' he hawked when running for POTUS sounded good for the country to some folks when it said those words, but the only change we wanted was for a real leader and for him to be gone.

The Obama socialist crew's refusal to say Iran violated the nuclear deal has become a key sticking point and prompted congressional leaders to launch the investigation into claims Obama misled them regarding the terms of the deal.

Everyone now knows that when it comes to making deals, Obama is "all bat and no balls."

Three Republican representatives, Mike Pompeo (Kan.), Peter Roskam (Ill.), and Lee Zeldin (N.Y.) petitioned the State Department by letter this month asking them to explain its shift on the ballistic missiles issue.

"While many lawmakers, ourselves included, are certain that Iran's latest tests violate UNSCR 2231, your decision to cease labeling the launches a violation is alarming," the letter said. "We are troubled by reports that the administration is stifling voices within its ranks for stronger action against Iran--putting the [nuclear agreement] and political legacy above the safety and security of the American people."

Rather than answer the question, the State Department, in its undying allegiance to Barack Obama's so-called legacy, refused to answer the question. 

"Would you like ketchup on those fries?" John Kerry asked as he passed a bottle of Heinz to Zeldin who declined the offer.

A senior congressional source accused the State Department of dodging key questions. "It looks like the State Department did not feel a need to answer any of Congressman Pompeo's questions. Given the complete disconnect between what the Obama Administration testified to Congress about Iranian ballistic missile tests, and how it is behaving now, it is no wonder Pompeo is asking these questions. I am not sure how much longer President Obama and his staff can dance around these issues while avoiding legitimate inquiries like this one."

I'd say Obama can dance around it for about another 9 months when a new POTUS is sworn in.

John Kerry described Iran's ballistic tests as inconsistent with the UN resolution, but would not call them a violation, even though it was. This is the same "man" who attended the inauguration of the Vietnam Communist Museum and gave himself a combat medal for that war, which he later protested along with Jane Fonda.

Is it any wonder why Americans are fed up with the establishment? 

Doesn't it make sense why someone as monosyllabic as Donald Trump can become the GOP nominee for POTUS?

We are sick of incompetent morons putting our nation in danger by allowing other countries to walk all over us as they laugh at us while doing so. 

I suspect Trump is going to be nominated for the GOP in this election, but whoever runs against these leftist puss-tards has my vote, even if it isn't Trump or Cruz. 

I refuse to allow my anger over not having my choice of candidate run against Clinton or Sanders. I will vote for whoever runs against them because we cannot afford another term of liberal politics.

North Korea locked and loaded

"I got this, yo"

Pyongyang is possibly preparing for yet another nuclear test and vows to do it "over and over again until we get it right." This would be their fifth test and this one is supposedly capable of striking some of our military posts in Asia. The missile, like Obama's ISIS strategy, is on standby.

A South Korean official in Seoul told Yonhap, their news agency, that their military had evidence indicating the North would most likely launch a midrange Musudan missile, with a range of 2,180 miles.

The U.S. and South Korea are conducting their annual springtime drills which end this week. Pyongyang claim these drills  are an invasion rehearsal.

One Musudan missiles was launched earlier this month but apparently ended in failure. Failure doesn't sit well with Kim Jong Un, and it is possible he had the entire launch crew go in search of a lost contact lens in a mine field, or some other "fun" event.

The current test would be the first since January, where the North claimed it had detonated a hydrogen bomb, but it was more likely something a lot smaller based on its signature. 

However, the blast was large enough to be of concern and President Obama is preparing to combat North Korea with some very harsh language.

Secretary of State John Kerry is busy at the moment hiding his wife's fortune in an off shore tax haven account. He will be speaking on this turn of events in the near future and his words will also be harsh.

"Lincoln" advises Obama

It's like the shortest kid in the schoolyard talking trash about the captain of the football team to the other kids. That's the way Butterball Kim Jong Un deals with countries he fears most--bad-mouth them and pretend you're tougher.


Now North Korea is using "Honest Abe" Lincoln as a prop to make Butterball Kim sound like he has "a pair". 

Kim had his state media construct a fake letter from our 16th president attacking Obama's "deception" over  North Korea's pursuit of nukes. This is Butterball's latest response to Washington after the North's nuclear test and long-range ballistic missile launch this week.

The letter is written in Korean on the DPRK Today website, a lesser known propaganda tool of the North Korean regime.

The letter's title is: "Advice from Lincoln to Obama."

It starts off sounding like a blog written by a high school kid. "Hey, Obama. I know you have a lot on your mind these days . . . I've decided to give you a little advice after seeing you lost in thought before my portrait during a recent Easter Prayer Breakfast."

The letter goes on to mock Obama's Nobel Peace Prize-winning push to build a nuclear weapon-free world as it questions him as to why the USA hasn't taken the first steps to do just that. It wants countries like North Korea to scrap its programs, yet the USA has failed to take the lead in that department.

'Lincoln' says in the letter, "If the United States, a country with the world's largest nuclear weapons stockpile, only pays lip service, like a parrot, and doesn't do anything actively, it will be a mockery to the entire world."

The letter also fails to portray Lincoln in a positive light. "Hey, Obama," it continues, "it's the 21st Century. The tactic by past American presidents, including me, who deceived the people, is outdated. That doesn't work now. The world doesn't trust an America that doesn't take responsibility for what it says."

This type of harsh rhetoric is old hat with Butterball Kim. He has also gone after South Korea, referring to their president as a "prostitute" many times before. The regime has also referred to President Obama as a "monkey" and John Kerry as a wolf with a "hideous lantern jaw."

One can only wonder how Butterball Kim's regime will refer to either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton should either go on to win the presidency. But surely they will have to refer to John Kasich as "Karate Kasich."

Maybe he'll call Hillary "Felony Hillary," and Trump "Deprecatin' Donald."

Iran keeps launching birds while flipping bird to US

This administration makes deals like Obama makes three point shots. The nuclear deal we made with Iran is about as solid as moldy jello and if you thought for a moment that it would prevent the terrorist nation from developing nuclear weapons, I have some winning lottery tickets to sell you.

Iran's foreign minister made it clear Sunday that the Islamic Republic's ballistic missile program is "not open to negotiation" with the United States. This was met with a predictable lightning strike of words by John Kerry, who, like Hillary Clinton, is a stand-in for a real Secretary of State.

John Kerry and his wig said during his visit to Bahrain that the US and our regional allies were "prepared to work on a new arrangement to find a peaceful solution" regarding Iran's recent ballistic missile tests.

There are Western experts who refuse to play 'brain dead' and know the missiles could eventually be used to blow stuff up with a nuclear warhead. The stuff, they will not admit, would be a target known as Infidelisbhad in an attempt to kill as many non-Shi'ite Muslims as they can.

Because Obama is so good at making deals (sarcasm) the missile tests currently being carried out by the terrorists are not covered by the U.S.-Iranian nuclear deal. Makes perfect sense if the person behind the deal is sympathetic to Islam and therefore is willfully blind to their ultimate intentions.

But in spite of the ballistic tests not being a part of the stupid deal we made, it actually goes agains a U.N. Security Council Resolution, but Iran says, "Does not, nuh huh."

Foreign Minister Javad Zarif rejects any concessions "The Wigster" Kerry is asking for, to which Kerry stamped his feet and said more words that had as much an effect on Iran as 3D movie glasses has on a goldfish.

"Secretary Kerry and the U.S. State Department know well that Iran's missile and defense capabilities are not open to negotiation," the sneaky snake Zarif said, as reported by Iran's news agency, ISNA. He made the launches seem to be about self-defense, but to Iran, a good defense isn't as cool as a shock and awe offense.

Zarif actually made a good point by telling "The Wigster" that the U.S. should be more worried about our allies arming ISIS, which was answered by an audible "Harumph" by the guy who married into the Heinz Corporation fortune.

"The U.S. needs to view regional issues more seriously than raise baseless and threadbare allegations against Iran. Mr. Kerry should ask U.S. allies where the Islamic State's arms come from."

I believe he already knows where they come from, as does his predecessor and the Democratic shoe-in for either president or prison (probably the former, if you believe in the devil).

Since they started testing ballistic missiles and whether Obama was still a pussy (if Col. Ralph Peters can no longer say it, I will), we have responded with a couple of little sanctions on a few people and some businesses. But heaven forfend if we used serious national sanctions on Iran--that might make them angry or, as an Obama non sequitur might say, "That would be giving them what they want."

As a possible face-saving ploy, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs (not like those of Bill Clinton's) Thomas Shannon said that one of Iran's primary purposes for their ballistic testing was to make the hard-liners happy because our deal with them was so strict and limiting.

And if you believe Shannon, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'm selling at a bargain price.

Letting them go shows our love to terrorists

"Have a nice day, sir"

They worked hard, studied chemistry, then used their knowledge of chemistry to make explosives. Then they packed the explosives in suicide vests to kill people, got caught and were sent to Guantanamo Bay Detention, and were finally rewarded by the Obama administration for their hard work. 

In order to fulfill his legacy and have something to show in his presidential library, Barack Obama allowed two Al Qaeda explosives experts to transfer from the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Senegal, where they will be given the freedom to pursue their jihad ambitions.

Will these two religious observers of jihad, followers of Mohammad, men who pray five times a day with butts to heaven and heads to hell, return to the fight?

You can bet your sweet ascot they will. 

Both Libyan scumcrumpets were listed as threats to U.S. interests (including our interests in living a full, productive life and not being blown up) by the Department of Defense. 

The information about their "transfer" and illustrious backgrounds was uncovered by none other than Wikileaks and its sister rag, New York Times.

A zebibah or "prayer bump"

Salem Abdu Salam Ghereby ( a guy who gets his name from a cigarette and a deli meat) had likely fought coalition forces at Osama bin Laden's Tora Bora complex in beautiful downtown Afghanistan. Salam ("don't inhale 'em) rubbed zebibahs with Al Qaeda's top members.

The other terrorist, Omar Khalif Mohammed Abu Baker Mahjour Umar (honestly, that's his name--he was named after all the members of Mohammad's famous platoon "The Fightin' Camel Humps") was assessed to be likely to "immediately seek out prior associates and reengage in hostilities and extremist support activities" once released. In English this means if you hear him screaming "Allahu Akbar!" pivot on the balls of both feet and run like your life depends on it, because it does.

Senators are currently preparing legislation to permanently block Obama releasing the remaining terrorists in Gitmo to terrorist 'hot spots,' and state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Syria and Libya. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill) was to introduce the bill but I suspect that if liberals are okay with Obama's visit to Cuba, where a number of anti-American terrorists live comfortably under the Castro dictatorship, they are equally okay with Islamic terrorists going free.

Just as long as they stay away from them and their families.

With the release (they say 'transfer' but that's bull crap) of Ghereby and Umar, there remain only 89 islamic terrorists in Gitmo. I would have liked to see Obama or Kerry personally release them and walk them to the plane without armed security to ensure their safety, because they sure as hell don't care to ensure ours.

Syrian forces attack Palmyra

Syrian troops fought their way into the ISIS-held city of Palmyra with the help of Russian air support and strong words against the Islamic State by President Obama and his hair-rich Secretary of State John Kerry. 

This has been the biggest offensive attack against the wannabe caliphate of ISIS as Kerry met with President For-As-Long-As-He-Wants-To-Be Putin under better circumstances than the time when Hillary Clinton presented Russia's Sergey Lavrov with a "Restart Button" that actually said "overcharged." (After Hillary's screwup, Russia went on to annex Crimea, then fomented unrest in eastern Ukraine, and flaunted their military strength agains NATO alliance states.)

But the atmosphere between Putin and Kerry seemed peaceful perhaps due to Kerry's close ties to communism. Both men came away as comrades sharing the same hope for progress in ending the fighting in Syria, President Obama aside.

Russia is Assad's main ally while the U.S. and other Western countries have supported troops trying to overthrow the weak-chin dictator. This civil war has been dragging on for five years and in that time, about 259,000 people have been killed and this has led to the world's worst refugee crisis.

Last year, Russia flew scores of air strikes to help Assad's government. When Obama realized that Putin wasn't bluffing about his role with Syria, he knew it was best to try making a peace deal with the stronger Russian leader. The two countries held the first real ceasefire of the war and began negotiations between the warring parties. 

Putin has recently announced that he is winding down military action in Syria and offered warm, somewhat tender words for Barack Obama.

"We understand that what we have been able to achieve on Syria has been possible only thanks to the position of the U.S. top political leadership, President Obama," Putin joked, at a meeting with Kerry. "I very much hope that your visit will allow us to bring our positions closer on moving forward to solve the Syrian crisis and . . . on Ukraine."

And then Sergey Lavrov presented Kerry with a button in Cyrillic that read: пресса при испуге which translates to:  "Press when frightened."
