U.S. is very upset with Iraq after rocket attack, Blinken claims

U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken is angry and he says that the United States is angry too, in fact, he said we are "outraged" by a rocket attack on Monday in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. A civilian contractor was killed and several others were injured, including a member of the U.S. military along with other American contractors.

"I have reached out to Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani to discuss the incident and to pledge our support for all efforts to investigate and hold accountable those responsible," Blinken said in a statement that, in the words of President Biden, is no joke. He isn't kidding. 

It's beginning to look a lot like our enemies are testing Biden as they try to discover whether the White House has become a retirement home for a radical old man.

Pompeo warns Iran about rocket launches and gets the middle finger

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Iran on Thursday about three planned space rocket launches. He pointed out that this would violate U.N. Security resolution 2231, which is a resolution endorsing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on the nuclear program of Iran. That resolution urged Iran to avoid all activities related to ballistic missiles that are ready to deliver nuclear weapons.

Pompeo said that Iran announced plans to launch Space Launch Vehicles (SLV) that utilize ballistic missile technology. So while on the surface it appears innocent, we know how sneaky some nations can be in gearing up their military strength.

Pompeo stated: 

"The United States will not stand by and watch the Iranian regime's destructive policies place international stability and security at risk. We advise the regime to reconsider these provocative launches and cease all activities related to ballistic missiles in order to avoid deeper economic and diplomatic isolation … The United States has continuously cautioned that ballistic missile and SLV launches by the Iranian regime have a destabilizing effect on the region and beyond. France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and many nations from around the world have also expressed deep concern."

“Pompeo said Iran has launched ballistic missiles numerous times since the U.N. resolution was adopted. He said it test-fired a medium-range ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple warheads on Dec. 1. In July 2017, Iran launched a rocket it said could deliver a satellite into space, an act the U.S. State Department called provocative. Earlier that month, the United States slapped new economic sanctions on Iran over its ballistic missile program," Reuters reported.

Javad Zarif, the Foreign Minister of Iran, responded to Pompeo on Twitter, stating the United States has no right to attack Iran’s testing of ballistic missiles, writing: 

“Iran's launch of space vehicles— & missile tests—are NOT in violation of Res 2231. The US is in material breach of same, & as such it is in no position to lecture anyone on it. Reminder to the US: 1. Res 1929 is dead; 2. threats engender threats, while civility begets civility."

Zarif’s tweet prompted Mark Dubowitz, the chief executive of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to alert former Secretary of State John "Lurch" Kerry, who had championed the Iran nuclear deal. Kerry had claimed that Resolution 2231 would restrain Iran. Yeah, like hell it would.

Dubowitz tweeted: 

“So @JohnKerry. What say you to @JZarif? He thinks JCPOA gave the green light to Iran’s missile testing by ending 1929. He thinks the “calls upon” language in 2231 is a joke. You & other parties to JCPOA thought 2231 was a restraint. Who’s correct? You or Zarif?”

In August 2015, once the Iran deal was signed, Kerry bragged about what he believed was a great accomplishment.

He claimed the nuclear deal had restrained Iran, saying of his self-assumed brilliance, “And that is why we say Israel, all of the Gulf states, everybody in the region – we, the United States, who have our own security concerns – are safer with this deal than without it. Because if you don’t do this deal, folks, not only will we have walked away from our allies – Britain, France, Germany – and non-allies but interested parties – Russia, China – we will have lost the moral imperative, if you will, or high ground. We will have left Iran free to go do its program without restraints, without inspections, without knocking down its stockpile, without knowing what they’re doing.”

James Taylor agreed as he sang a tune slightly off key.

Well here we are in the start of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

Tillerson slams Trump who then says Tillerson 'is as dumb as a rock'

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appeared on CBS News journalist Bob Schieffer sitting down with the veteran newsman during a fundraiser for the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Tillerson spoke about President Trump and some observations during his tenure as Secretary of State, saying that he always had to remind President Trump that some of his plans wold "violate the law." He also said that he and Trump did not share a "common value system" and were "obviously starkly different in our styles."

President Trump, who is no shrinking violet, fired back that Tillerson saying that he was "as dumb as a rock."

“When the president would say, ‘Here's what I want to do, and here's how I want to do it,’ and I'd have to say to him, ‘Well, Mr. President, I understand what you want to do, but you can't do it that way. It violates the law, it violates the treaty, you know. He got really frustrated,” Tillerson said. “I think he grew tired of me being the guy every day who told him he can’t do that and let’s talk about what he can do.”

He said he told President Trump that he would be willing to “fight the fight” to change laws in Congress so the president could press forward with his agenda.

Trump also fired back on Twitter, saying Tillerson "didn't have the mental capacity needed" as the nation's top diplomat.

But let us not forget that President Trump picked him.

"He was dumb as a rock and I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough," Trump said. "He was lazy as hell. Now it is a whole new ballgame, great spirit at State!"

Tillerson, 66, was fired from the White House in March after rumors of a rift between him and Trump had been circulating for some time. In leaving, Tillerson said Washington, D.C., can be a “very mean-spirited town.”

Rex's Parents

Tillerson also contended Trump tends to act “on his instincts”  and this was incongruent to the way Tillerson worked. “What was challenging for me – coming from the disciplined, highly process-oriented ExxonMobil corporation – to go to work for a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just kinda says, ‘Look, this is what I believe,’” Tillerson explained.

Tillerson also believes that there is no question that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and seeks to "undermine our confidence and undermine the world's confidence in us," the Houston Chronicle reported.

President Trump replaced Tillerson with Mike Pompeo, and it's clear that Pompeo is doing a better job and is much more qualified than Tillerson.

Tillerson dumped while dumping, Kelly says

According to John Kelly,  Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was fired as he sat on the throne, if you get my drift. Reporters at the White House were stunned when Chief of Staff John Kelly shared the embarrassing story.

One thing for certain, Kelly was pleased that Tillerson didn't raise a stink when he heard the news. He took it in stride and knows he'll bounce back from being dumped.

Kelly did his best to convince reporters that the administration wasn't planning to "clean house" or do any serious purging, but Tillerson kind of sucked as Secretary of State and tended to counter Trump's decisions and free wheeled on the Iran nuclear deal.

According to sources who remain anonymous because they don't want to become a notch on Trump's rather large belt, Kelly had a very awkward conversation with the now former secretary of state whereby he told Tillerson that President Trump would very likely can his sorry butt. The content of the conversation was mostly awkward not for the words, but for the fact that Tillerson was "dropping a deuce" at the time.

Kelly told reporters that Tillerson was suffering from a stomach bug during a diplomatic trip to Africa and was shooting hot rockets into the Delaware when Kelly broke the news to him.

Sources couldn't believe that Kelly would make such a scatalogical pun, even off the record, to a room filled with reporters and White House leakers. [Did I just say 'leakers'?]

Tillerson will officially leave the State Department at the end of the month.

Some people go out with a bang. Some go out with a whimper. Tillerson will go out with the flushing sound of a commode forever in everyone's mind.

Tillerson shills for Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar

President Trump has thus far talked a good game about radical Islamic terrorism, but he has yet to designate the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization as he was expected to do.

The designation falls under the job description of the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. But Tillerson has chosen the MB and its backers in Qatar and Turkey over their Arab rivals. In fact, Tillerson has only negative things to say about the idea of designating them a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Tillerson's main talking point is that the MB's political parties have representatives in governments in Turkey and Bahrain, which is irrelevant. Bahrain has banned the Brotherhood and the U.S. would not deal with Lebanon since it has Hezbollah in it, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The Secretary of State also spouted the same "non-violent" and "moderate" Brotherhood propaganda and claimed the Brotherhood's political parties in governments "have become so by renouncing violence and terrorism."

That's bull crap and it was bull crap when Obama said it. 

Now that Trump is in office and has said all the politically incorrect things one can say about Islamic terrorism, you would think his Secretary of State would be honest too, but perhaps Trump didn't quite know what he was getting with Tillerson. 

The disappointment in Tillerson's position is exacerbated by the fact that now is an opportune time to designate the MB as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 

Again, Trump said he would but he hasn't. 

The Arab world is pressuring Qatar over its support of the MB and other jihadists. Those Arabs wonder where we stand since our president and our Secretary of State are on opposite sides of the fence on this issue.

Patrick Poole, a counter-terrorism expert, asserts that Tillerson is "sabotaging" Trump's foreign policy. Poole would like to see Tillerson do a "Priebus" and don't let the door hit him on his way out.

Here we have Trump expressing his support for those Arab nations taking measures against Qatar and unequivocally describing them as a major terrorism funder. Tillerson describes Qatar as "very reasonable" in his reaction to Arab pressure.

Tillerson was formerly the CEO of ExxonMobil, a company that is also a member of the U.S.-Turkish Business Council. The chairman is Ekin Alptekin, the same businessman who's at the center of controversy regarding former National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn.  

Alptekin's company contracted with Flynn for $600,000 to promote Erdogan government's interests. Flynn's firm registered as a lobbyist but didn't register as a foreign agent--that was the problem that got Flynn in trouble and fired from the Trump administration and replaced by General H.R. McMaster.

There's no proof of direct dealings between Tillerson and Alptekin, but ExxonMobil's involvement in the U.S.-Turkish Business Council is a good indication how Tillerson's previous relationship with Turkey's government may influence his behavior.

While Erdogan had few defenders, he certainly had one in Tillerson.

At the beginning of July, Tillerson went to Istanbul to receive an award from the World Petroleum Congress where he openly praised those who defended Erdogan against a coup attempt last year. He even went so far as to describe the Islamist theocratic dictatorship as a democracy. 

He said:

"Nearly a year ago, the Turkish people--brave men and women--stood up against coup plotters and defended their democracy. I take this moment to recognize their courage and honor the victims of the events of July 15, 2016. It was on that day that the Turkish people exercised their rights under the Turkish constitution, defended their place in a prosperous Turkey, and we remember those who were injured or died in that event."

Although Tillerson condemned the Turkish security personnel who violently attacked protesters in Washington D.C. in May, something any public official would do, when it comes to difficult issues, Tillerson sides with Turkey and Qatar, contradicting President Trump, who selected him for Secretary of State.

Even when it comes to the Kurds, our closest allies in fighting Islamic State, Tillerson's State Department sided with Turkey in criticizing the Iraqi Kurds' referendum on independent statehood, implying his opposition to Kurdish independence.

Trump was elected for change, but Tillerson is not the man for the job. Nothing has changed and maybe it's worse.

Tillerson says Palestinians won't pay families of terrorists

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said to lawmakers Tuesday that the Palestinian Authority (PA) assured him the Palestinian Liberation Organization is going to change their policy of paying terrorists for killing Jews and paying families of terrorists when terrorists get killed in the process of killing Jews.

This new policy goes against the 1400-year-old practice of killing Jews as commanded in the Quran and Hadith.

But Israeli and Palestinian leaders are disputing Tillerson's account, made in a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He told senators that on his most recent trip to Bethlehem, the PA said the PLO would be revising their policy.

"They have changed their policy, at least, I have been informed they've changed that policy, and . . . their intent is to cease the payments to the family members of those who have committed murder or violence against others," Tillerson said. "So, it is--we've been very clear with them that this is simply not acceptable to us."

Tillerson explained that PA leaders argued that they must take care of widows and orphans, but he told them Americans cannot see any reasonable explanation for paying off terrorists in what the PA calls a "martyr fund."

Israel has tried to get the PA to stop the "martyr fund" where payments are made to about 35,000 families of Islamic terrorists who are killed in their religious obligation against the Jews. Because it is a religious conflict, suicide bombings gets the martyr 72 virgins and the family a couple of bucks to deal with it.

But Palestinian Minister of Prisoner Affairs Issa Karake says the payments must continue and calls them a "national, social and humanitarian duty."

Can you see an end to this lunacy?

If the PA stops paying terrorists and their families, it would be totally un-Islamic. 

Wanna bet they're lying?

Tillerson and foreign diplomats discuss Syria crisis at G7

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson along with top foreign diplomats held an urgent meeting in Italy to discuss the Syrian crisis. 

The meeting was arranged on the 'sidelines' of the Group of 7 (Russia used to make '8') of "likeminded" countries days after the U.S. struck at Bashar al-Assad for having killed his own citizens with Sarin nerve gas. From that meeting, Tillerson flew to Moscow to meet with Russian leaders (other than Putin) to try convincing them to end their support for the weak chin Assad.

Also meeting with the G-7 countries are diplomats from Jordan, Saudi Arabia (who assist the world in supplying Islamic terrorists), Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and others.

Tillerson hopes to enlist these Middle East countries into helping ensure and stabilize Syria after ISIS is defeated. The meeting lasted an hour.

The Secretary of State hasn't been very visible publicly, but last week's attack had him in front of the media answering questions from reporters about Assad's chemical attack which resulted in the U.S. responding with 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles.

One libtard politician thought that Native Americans would be insulted that Cruise missiles are labeled 'Tomahawk Cruise missiles' because she believes the tomahawk is unique to Native Americans. But the fact is that tomahawks were created as a general purpose tool used by Native Americans and European colonials. The design was originally based on a Royal Navy boarding axe used as a trade-item with Native Americans for food, etc. That's why liberals are generally stupid when it comes to identity politics.

U.S. officials along with Tillerson have projected a sense of urgency over the brutal Syria crisis but haven't told us how Assad needs to go nor how to protect displaced Syrians. It's also unclear at this time as to the Trump administration's plans for further action with Assad. For all appearances, it seems this policy is still evolving along with the President's change of heart on Syria and isolationism.

"We rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world," Tillerson said on a visit to Sant'Anna di Stazzema on Monday. It's a Tuscan village where the Nazis massacred over 500 civilians.

So we shall see what lies in store for the world in the coming weeks. Nothing seems to look very bright.

Hillary uses the trusty old Alzheimer defense on FBI

When you know that 'running with the ball' is going to get you tackled [indicted] so hard that it's going to be difficult to get up again [because you'd be in prison], the best thing to do is punt. And by 'punt' I mean use the Alzheimer Defense (AD) and pretend you don't remember anything that is asked of you. 

Some call this defense the CRAFT disorder (Can't Remember A Freaking Thing) but I like to use a term because it depicts the insidious deterioration of Clinton's mental faculties, particularly those associated with memory.

And, by the way, she's running for president.

Hillary Clinton used this ploy about 39 times when the FBI questioned her extensively on the use of her private email server while secretary of state. 

The official documents released by the FBI on "Document Dump Friday" showed Clinton's inability to recall the past, along with the fact that there were no follow-up questions on the issue that got her off the hook with FBI Director James Comey. That issue involved her actual intent to commit an illegal act by using the server. Comey seemed to think that she had no intent, but it was never explored.

In spite of the fact that the issue of intent is not necessary to call for an indictment, Comey used that to get Clinton off the hot seat and back into the hearts and minds of the mindless liberals.

Lest I forget, let's get back to the memory issue.

Clinton said 39 times that she couldn't "recall" specific details or events regarding her training sessions dealing with classified material or those on the actual handling of classified information. 

She also couldn't recall specific emails.

Clinton sat for three hours answering questions and, if you believe what she claims, you might also believe that by next week she will have forgotten she was questioned by the FBI over her emails and classified information and that she still supports the war in Vietnam.

Hillary tried the Incompetence Defense at first, but it didn't sit well with the public. When Fox News' James Rosen asked her about wiping her private server's hard drive she replied, "What, like with a cloth?" Then brushed him off with her hand with her signature "Poo-poo" gesture.

That's her go-to "poor, naive little girl" defense. 

So when that defense didn't work, Hillary went for the Alzheimer Defense. She continues to avoid press conferences like vampires avoid sunlight.

Hillary Clinton never lies: truth or dare

There should be a contest in which contestants must choose a truthful statement uttered by Hillary Clinton. Winners of the contest get to spend an hour with her in a game of "Truth or Dare." They can ask Hillary: "What is your weirdest habit," and she will answer: "Always telling the truth."

Now, caught in yet another lie, tens of thousands of emails were uncovered by Judicial Watch on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Clinton said that she had turned over all work-related emails and that was a lie.

But the content of the emails is the best part.

The emails just released depict instances in which the Clinton Foundation appears to reach out to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's State Department for favors on behalf of wealthy foundation donors. Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain was one of the donors Jihad Watch (JW) reported.

JW said in a statement Monday that the emails show Huma Abedin (Hillary's top aide with a history and family connection to the Muslim Brotherhood and Anthony Weiner) "provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state."

The documents were not turned over to the State Department by Clinton. 

In an exchange with the crown prince of Bahrain in June 2009, the top foundation official, Doug Band, notified Abedin that the crown prince was coming to the U.S. and wanted a meeting with Clinton. He noted that he is a "good friend of ours."

Huma wrote back that the crown prince asked to see Hillary through "normal channels." She added, "I asked and she said she doesn't want to commit to anything for thurs or fri until she knows how she will feel. Also she says that she may want to go to ny and doesn't want to be committed to stuff in ny."

Two days after the exchange, Abedin wrote to Band saying they were offering up a morning meeting between Clinton and the crown prince.

In 2005 the crown prince committed to an international scholarship program through the Clinton Global Initiative (aka Clinton Foundation) to the tune of $32 million. This money was in addition to other reported donations from the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Of course, the Clinton campaign attacked the messenger, Judicial Watch, much like Hillary herself, attacked Jennifer Flowers and the other women Bill sexually abused.

But the foundation has changed its tune of late and has made preparations if, God forbid, Hillary Clinton becomes the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

The foundation will no longer accept foreign or corporate donations if she wins. They already have all the money they need for now, and the money the foundation received while Hillary was the incompetent secretary of state didn't count, that is, if you don't count foreign influence as counting for anything.

Even Bill "The Big Cigar" Clinton will step down from the board and "no longer raise funds for it." 

Why didn't they do that when Hillary was secretary of state?

Obama wants ISIS "refugees" here where we can see 'em

ISIS has pledged to place as many jihadists as possible within the refugee population as they worm their way into Europe and the United States. So far the strategy is working like a charm as more and more terrorist attacks take place in the West.   

Hundreds of unfortunate folks (those who don't have the luxury of a Secret Service detail  or private security to protect them) have been killed by terrorists who have pledged their allegiance to ISIS.

Now in the United States, Syrian "refugees" are pouring in like water into the Titanic, and America is on track for the 10,000 refugees that Barack Hussein Obama called for before the end of September. 

Of course there is no tangible way to get them properly vetted because they are lacking background information, but perhaps the Obama administration thinks that now they're here, we'll be able to keep a better eye on them. "And if they try any of their workplace violence shenanigans, we'll be able to nip that problem right in the bud."

For some reason, Republicans are worried about the security  concerns we face taking in the refugees. What a bunch of worry warts.

July boasted 2,340 Syrian refugees in the United States and lucky for them, our millionaires and billionaires, along with the middle class, will be giving them financial support, education, free stuff, medical care, and all the legal rights they need to fight us in court if convicted of rape, terrorism or anything else. 

But if we don't do it, CAIR will step in to help them.

Last month's figure is more than the admissions of the entire seven months after Obama directed his sedition team to prepare for 10,000 invaders who come from war-torn nations for which they refuse to fight--and the majority of the refugees have historically been military age men. 

The total of refugee influx has reached 7,900 mostly Sunni Muslims, as is ISIS. 

Homeland Security (which is an oxymoron) Secretary Jeh Johnson said earlier in the week that the United States is right on schedule. At the present pace, we'll be sure to have enough undercover ISIS jihadists to ensure that we're going to "make America perilous again."

FBI Director and current president of the Hillary Clinton Fan Club, James Comey predicted a "terrorist diaspora out of Syria." But hello . . . it's James Comey--can we really believe him?

Yet many Republicans do believe Comey's prediction and are warning that the flow of refugees poses a threat to us and Western Europe. 

Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) wrote a letter to Barack Hussein Obama asking him to "immediately stop accepting Syrian refugees as a matter of national security."

Mr. Obama gave his signature "Hey stupid smile" and said that he's not at all worried about security. He's got his men to keep him warned.

Buchanan wrote: "We are seeing a clear pattern in which a number of recent attacks have been carried out by ISIS terrorists with ties to Syria, including: the July 24 bombing of a music festival in Germany; the July 26 killing of a French priest; and the July 24 murder of a German woman with a machete. Syrian refugees played a part, either as attackers or accomplices, in all three attacks.

"In the context of this clear threat, your goal of admitting 10,000 Syrians as a part of a so-called 'surge operation' is extremely troubling . . . Terrorists are leaving Syria disguised as refugees and carrying out attacks in the West. The prudent course of action is to halt all admissions of Syrians into the U.S. until the safety of Americans can be guaranteed."

Obama just smiled again and told Buchanan that he's been reading too many Vince Flynn novels.

"There's nothing to worry about, Vern. Do you see me worrying? ISIS is like the WBA playing the NBA," he said in a comment that was not reported by the liberal media because it might have been considered sexist. "And we're the damn NBA." 

Donald Trump didn't miss a beat. In a statement Thursday night, his campaign said the administration was "dangerously expediting their admission."

Mr. Trump also tweeted: "Obama and Lyin' Hillary have got to be nuts, nuts to allow these Muslims to come here unvetted. And I love Muslims, I love them, but you gotta use your head folks."

According to federal government data, the Syrian refugees along with the undercover ISIS jihadists, are being re-settled in states across the country including New York, California and Arizona.  

The "White Lie House" claims that the screening process for refugees takes a year to 18 months and includes face-to-face or face-to-hijab interviews and a review of fictitious biographical information along with biometrics (like fingerprints and things that Syrians don't really keep on record). 

The administration claims that it is focused on bringing in the most desperate refugees, but if they're so desperate, are we really screening them for 12 to 18 months? I bet someone is telling another "white lie." 

Secretary of State and bicycling aficionado, John Kerry, spoke with reporters during a jaunt to Beunos Aires, Argentina. 

Kerry lied that the US has developed "sufficient methods" of screening would-be refugees, such as asking them if they packed their own bags and if they plan to go all out jihad on us after they arrive here.

"We are very comfortable that we are bringing people in who will be a great plus to our country," Kerry said, referring to how they will encourage our schools to teach the wonders of Islamic customs and Sharia.

Kerry said that "not one event in the United States, of terror" has been committed by a refugee allowed to re-settle in the U.S. 

But it's too soon to spike the ball, Kerry. 

And besides, there have been instances where, for example, two Iraqi refugees were arrested in 2011 for plotting to assist Al Qaeda with weapons and money in order to fight American troops in Iraq. 

And again, it's too soon to tell if we've created our own terrorist problem at home.

Kerry got into his incessant repetition of phrases: "We believe . . . the people who are fleeing Syria are the most harmed by terrorism. They are parents. They are children. They are orphans. It is very important that we do not close our hearts to the victims of such violence" [as they will one day vote Democrat]. 

If illegal immigrants tended to vote Republican, there would be no illegal immigrants under a Democratic administration. I suspect the converse is also true, but the reality is, the Democrats have the market cornered on the immigrant scene.

The most disturbing fact is one that was mentioned above: ISIS has promised to infiltrate themselves among the refugees. 

And you can bet the farm that Mr. Kerry will not be having Syrian refugees living in his neighborhood.

Hillary goes on Fox

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

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

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

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

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

Balderdash.

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

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

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

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

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

Hillary speak with forked tongue on private server

Hillary Clinton never told a lie . . . that she didn't like, or that wasn't politically expedient for her. Regarding the email scandal, she has changed her story as often as a mother changes her infant's diaper. 

In fact, there's a disturbing similarity in that analogy.

Now her email infamy claim about her personal server claiming that "everybody's doing it" doesn't wash with the State Department's former Inspector General, Howard Krongard. In fact, he said that had he been IG at the time, he would have started an investigation. 

Krongard also said that Condoleezza Rice did not use a personal server for government business, but Clinton did.

"Certainly to my knowledge at least, Secretary [Condoleezza] Rice did not have a personal server. I certainly never either sent an email to one or received an email from one," Krongard said. 

He continued, "I would have been stunned had I been asked to send an email to her at a personal server, private address. I would have declined to do so on security grounds and if she had sent one to me, I probably would have started an investigation.


John Hickenlooper  (Duh-Colo.) believes the only reason Hillary is being attacked over the personal email server is because she's a woman (and the reason she's giving the economy job to Bill--girls aren't good at math) proving once again that Democrats are stupid.

If women want to be treated as men, and men running for President are closely scrutinized, then Hillary needs to be closely scrutinized. 

Double-Duh.

The only reason Clinton used a personal server was to avoid Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. There is no question that Hillary Clinton was in violation of Federal law.


There is a big question as to whether she will be indicted .  .  .  can you indict a monarch?

Kerry vs. a box of rocks

Secretary of State John Swift Boat Kerry spoke to lawmakers about Ibrahim Qosi, a former Guantanamo Bay Detention Center (Gitmo) detainee. Since his release in 2007, Qosi returned to fight for Al Qaeda, and Qosi is no "small potatoes."

Kerry said of the Islamic jihadist's return to the jihad, "he's not supposed to be doing that."

You cannot make this stuff up--he really said that, proving that Kerry is a stupid as a box of rocks.

Kerry appeared before the State Foreign Operations and Related Programs Subcommittee to discuss the State Department's 2017 budget. He was asked by Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill) what he thought about Qosi's return to the fight. Kirk held up a photo of the scumcrumpet to jog Kerry's faulty memory.

Here's how the exchange went: "Let me just ask one question," Kirk said. "I want to show you a picture of Ibrahim al Qosi, who was recently released by the administration to the Sudanese, and he appeared on some al Qaeda videos recruiting people for AQAP [al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula]. Now that he's out, I would hope we would end the policy of issuing terrorists to terrorist nations, and where they can get out."

Kerry dug deep into the jasmine of his mind as he paused, then replied, "Well, Senator, he's not supposed to be doing that. And there are consequences for that, and there will be. But apart from that, the fact is that we've got people who've been held without charges for 13 years, 14 years in some cases. That's not American, that's not how we operate."

Even a box of rocks would have disagreed with this cretin. 

Unless he isn't a cretin but simply an anti-American pretending to speak for America.

Kerry speaks with forked tongue

Who are you going to believe, 77 million Iranians who chant "Death to America" or John Kerry?

Secretary of State Kerry announced Monday that "the world is safer today" because of the Iran nuclear deal. 

On Thursday Kerry said that some U.S. funds incorporated into the agreement will make their way into the coffers of terrorist organizations.

To be clear, here is what Kerry said: "I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) or of other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists. You know, to some degree, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented. But I can tell you this, right now, we are not seeing the early delivery of funds going to that kind of endeavor at this point in time. I'm sure at some point some of it will."

So the world is a safer place today because of the Iran nuclear deal but the money we've released to them will likely end up in the hands of the same IRGC who took 10 of our sailors hostage, which then Kerry THANKED for releasing them. 

Money that will go to "other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists." (My italics.)

Kerry implies with the word 'labeled' that maybe they are, maybe they aren't actually real terrorists like ISIS. Maybe they're more like Hamas and Hezhollah--groups we call terrorist organizations for lack of a better term.

What bizarre leadership we have. What stupidity and suicidal irresponsibility, all for some BS legacy for a POTUS who would have none, save for Obamacare, which has never lived up to its hype.

The Iranian mullahs must be laughing to the point of incontinence.

Kerry is as useless as Secretary of State as he was as a swiftboat commander in Vietnam. But you'd never know because he put himself in for the medals.

An administration of idiots

Are we being led by an administration of idiots? Amateurs? Do they care about our national security or are they so clueless that they don't even realize how dangerous their blase attitudes are about how they secure their government emails?

Defense Secretary Ash Carter did a "Hillary Clinton" during the first thrree months as SecDef this year. That is, he used his personal email account for his "professional" correspondence (scare quotes for me indicate my skepticism), the Pentagon admitted on Wednesday.

The New York Times first reported this story saying that Carter had been confronted about his email habits by Denis McDonough, the White House Chief of Staff, three months after he took office as defense secretary (aka "Government Secrets Disseminater to Russia, China, ISIS and Fox News"). 

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook released a statement saying that Carter believes his use of personal email for work-related business was a mistake, but did not mention whether it was a violation of Pentagon email policies.

If it was not a violation of Pentagon email policies, that would mean the Pentagon email policies were either written by a) one of our enemy countries or entities; b) Hillary Clinton; or c) an Alzheimer patient.

Cook said Carter stopped using his personal email, but he didn't say when. That is very reassuring to us.

Carter admitted that he occasionally used his personal iPhone to send messages to his staff, but added that no classified information was in those messages [or at least marked classified].

The Times reported that our SecDef was assigned a government email account when he first became Obama's SecDef "yes man" in February, but he didn't think he needed to use a secure account when a personal account could almost do the same job. Even his own staff thought he would or could be hacked.

In 2012 Pentagon policy barred all employees, not just the upper echelon, from conducting government business on their personal email, and even President Obama barred federal employees from sending or receiving emails from personal accounts unless the messages were either copied or forwarded into government accounts within 20 days. Did Carter follow that directive? 

You make the call.

Even while Hillary was under FBI investigation about her alleged mishandling of classified information, using a private account for all her emails as secretary of state, evidently Carter didn't think it also pertained to him. He continued this practice no less than two months after the "Scandal Queen's" practices were made public.

The Times reported that the emails it received under FOIA were between Carter and Eric Fanning, his then chief of staff and now acting secretary of the Army.

Personally, I don't care a fig what the emails said or who the emails involved, the fact that our secretary of defense, like our incompetent secretary of state, cannot follow a simple procedure is an indication of an administration that is out of control with its arrogance and belief that the law and common sense don't apply to them.

John Kerry falls from bike, blames Bush

Secretary of State John Kerry crashed his bike, broke his femur, and blamed George W. Bush for the mishap.

Remember kids, always look where
 you're going. Never be like this guy.

Kerry said in a statement made as he was being flown by helicopter to HUG, Geneva's main hospital: "Ahhhh, dammit. If that freaking George Bush wasn't such a damn jock, and I hadn't tried to outdo him, none of this crap would have happened and I would have ahhhh, secured world peace at the nuclear talks. Owwww! Be careful, you stupid schmuck!"

The last comment was made to the paramedic carrying the wounded SoS to the hospital where he is expected to make a full recovery.

Kerry had to cancel the remainder of his four-nation, high mileage with super bonus points trip and will fly back to Boston for Obamacare treatment--oh wait--government officials don't require Obamacare, our taxes pay for their biking screw-ups and other medical problems.

Durward Kirby, not John

State Department spokesman John Kirby (no relation to Durward) claimed Kerry is stable medically and never lost consciousness, but he did not comment on the Secretary's mental state, which, since the Vietnam hearings, is questionable to conservatives and other non-leftists.

Kerry is allegedly in good spirits without even one hair plug out of place. He dirty-joked with staff at the hospital and vowed that he would get back up on the bike.

The accident happened near the town of Scionzier, France just a stone's throw from the Swiss border. (Ironically, the Swiss border is relatively secure whereas the USA border looks like Swiss cheese.)

Kerry apparently wasn't paying attention to where he was going, much like the way the administration is doing the same regarding the nation, and his bike struck a curb, causing him to go ass-over-teakettle onto the hard ground, breaking his right femur and causing him to scream out former President George W. Bush's name along with several Navy-style expletives he learned when defending America against the Vietnam communist scourge 'back in the day'.

So Kerry will not meet with Spanish leaders nor attend a Paris conference on the Islamic State. He will not deal with the terrorist threat facing the world, including the United States. 

However, the day prior to his accident, he met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad (seriously) Javad Zarif for 6 hours in a Geneva hotel tap dancing for Zarif to get Iran to seal a comprehensive accord by June 30.

Zarif told Mr. Kerry: "Dancing and having fun is un-Islamic. Sit down, you idiot."

Now Kerry will be doing a lot more sitting.

Day of Rage

Israel and Hamas agreed to a 12 hour "humanitarian cease-fire" on Friday to take place today starting at 8 a.m. The way things look, however, it appears that the fighting is probably going to escalate, and now it is likely the hostilities will spread over into the West Bank.

Secretary of State John Kerry failed to broker a 7 day truce which was to be the first step to a larger deal and now Israel might expand its ground game "significantly" according to Israel's defense minister.

Celebrating the "Day of Rage"

To celebrate the failed deal, Palestinians held a "Day of Rage" which resulted in the deaths of at least 6 Palestinians in the West Bank, according to hospital officials. This will not bode well for Israel because every civilian death of a Palestinian is as if a terrible atrocity had been committed while it takes 750 Israeli deaths to gain the same outcry from the leftist media. Meanwhile, Israel is doing everything humanly possible that a military can do to minimize civilian casualties while Hamas is doing the polar opposite as they aim for civilian areas.

Fortunately for Israel, they have the Iron Dome system that intercepts and destroys incoming rockets. They can track these "dumb" rockets from the moment they're launched and this is happening in civilian populations. Israel has shown remarkable restraint in responding to this war crime and the terrorists are taking advantage of their humanity.

Hamas' scum-bag in charge, Sami Abu Zuhri, said that the terrorist group agreed to the 12 hour lull without adding that it would give Hamas adequate time to reload their stockpile of Iranian-supplied rockets and mortars along with other ammunition needs.

Kerry's proposal was for a temporary truce to make time for both sides to have indirect talks. It is essential these talks are not held face-to-face as Hamas would jump at the chance to please Allah and behead the Jew across the table from them. The initial plan was for Kerry to put forth the Obama-esque idea that Israel ease border restrictions regarding the blockaded Gaza Strip. Hamas would drool over the border being open as it would ease the headache of bringing in their terrorist supplies and MREs. 

2nd Place in Arafat Lookalike Contest

Kerry plans to fly to Paris today to continue working toward peace for Hamas, but it is highly likely that the fighting will drag on--after all, it has already been about 1400 years.

Maybe Islamists need a "Day of Chilling Out" instead.

Factophobia: a leftist disorder

Boycotting the House Select Committee on Benghazi by Democrats is a clear example of Factophobia. The liberals don't know the facts but they know that they don't want to know them. Factophobia is the same disorder that Rutgers low-information liberals suffer from as well.

Rutgers planned to have Condoleezza Rice give a speech at the commencement program and have previously had Hillary Clinton speak at the "university." Hillary appeared at Rutgers in 2007 and was accepted with open arms and closed minds by students and faculty alike. But with the announcement that Condi was scheduled to be the speaker at their commencement, the little anarchists went ballistic and protested loudly. 

The hypocrites blamed Condi for supporting the war in Iraq, but somehow forgot to blame Hillary for supporting the same war with her vote. Somehow they were able to dismiss Hillary's decision but not Condi's; perhaps they're racists, a term they love to throw out there.

The little anarchists even made fun of her name, as you can see from the sign they made.

The Rutgers leftists, and leftists in general, are as tolerant as is the religion of peace, good ole Islam. The funny thing is, when a gay leftist or female leftist sides with Islam (e.g., marching against Israel in favor of the Palestinians), they have no clue of what it would be like for them to live in an actual Muslim country. Well, the gay person wouldn't live too long upon arrival if he or she were openly gay.

But back to Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton.

The Daily Targum, Rutgers' largest school paper, had urged the school administration to not allow Dr. Rice to speak there due to her "questionable politics." It seriously sounds like Rutgers is afraid of things that are open to question. That may be a problem when it comes to "higher learning" in real academia, and heaven forfend, it might actually open the floor to a debate where not everybody wins a trophy.

If you compare the accomplishments of both Condi and Hillary as Secretary of State, it's easy to see who actually has real ones. Mail Online discussed this and shows an interview with Jen Psaki. She discusses Hillary's accomplishments as Secretary of State on video, and you can judge for yourself.

Even more interesting is the Capitol City Project interview where even Hillary is thrown at a loss as to her accomplishments. But never fear Hillary lovers; she has won more awards than practically any other human being on the planet. The only award she is currently striving for is "Best Dressed Woman in a Polyester Suit Award."

When it comes to Condi's accomplishments, even Slate's Fred Kaplan had to concede to her. Of course, he couldn't do it without attacking George W. Bush, but that's to be expected of a Marxist loving propaganda machine like Slate.

So the truth is evident about Rutgers and their cowardice. The university administration didn't cancel Dr. Rice's appearance, she cancelled herself. She said, "Commencement should be a time of joyous celebraton for the graduates and their families. Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time."

Condoleezza Rice isn't a special kind of person because she opened nuclear negotiations with North Korea, or because she crafted the terms of the UN resolution to investigate war crimes in Sudan, among many other accomplishments.

No, Dr. Rice is special because she has more class than all of the leftists at Rutgers combined. And she has more class than the Rutgers administration, who did nothing to change the outcome.

Undoubtedly, it is Rutgers' loss, but they're too clueless to know that.

Boiled Rice and Chicken Obama

Get Outta My Face

The Obama administration has done nothing to keep North Korea from firing a long-range missile.  Will he write them a strong letter?  We  can count on that.  Victoria Nuland, after she appeared as the host of SNL, and Susan Rice, after she admitted that she lied about the Benghazi debacle, have both spoken about North Korea and we are safer as a country for this.  And if you believe that, you might also believe that chickens will one day blacken the sky.  

As I write this blog, I have just learned that Susan Rice has withdrawn her name for consideration for Secretary of State.  That makes room for Swift Boat Kerry, the man who posed for a photo op at the Communist Museum and refused to support our nation in the Viet Nam War, and the guy who made his money the old fashioned way: he married into it--twice.

So here's the situation: we have Iran with its obvious disregard for stopping its nuclear proliferation, and North Korea, with a means of getting a missile to the USA.  We also have an administration that does nothing more than talk about it, write strong letters and impose useless sanctions that are laughed at by our enemies.  We can all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, pretending that all is well with the world, but before long, we'll all be singing it in Arabic.

My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
