Tulsi Gabbard pulls security clearances of 37 intel officials: "Abused the public trust"

Well, guys, the hammer has finally come down, and it's about time. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, acting on orders from President Donald Trump, just yanked the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence officials who have been playing fast and loose with the public's trust. You heard that right—37 of them, shown the door for "abusing the public trust" like it's just another Tuesday in D.C.

Fun Fact: the name 'Tulsi' means 'basil' in Hindi. 

Gabbard dropped the bombshell on X, releasing a memo that names these 37 individuals, some of whom were cozying up to the Obama-era intelligence assessment that screamed "Russia, Russia, Russia" to smear Trump's 2016 win. 

In her statement, Gabbard didn't mince words: "The President has directed that, effective immediately, the security clearances of the following 37 individuals are revoked. Their access to classified systems, facilities, materials, and information is to be terminated forthwith. Any contracts or employment with the U.S. Government by these 37 individuals is hereby terminated. Any credentials held by these individuals must be surrendered to the appropriate security officers."

She went on, torch in hand: "Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold." 

Bahdahbing!

Among the casualties were names like ex-Principal Deputy DNI Stephanie O'Sullivan and Vinh Nguyen, who helped former DNI James Clapper cobble together that oh-so-convenient 2016 report claiming "the Russian Government aspired to help President-elect Trump's election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him." 

Sounds like a script straight out of a political hit job, doesn't it?

Gabbard's been on a tear, releasing a treasure trove of documents exposing the shady dealings behind that assessment. Get this: the report, ordered just weeks after Trump’s 2016 victory, was slapped together in a measly month, when a proper investigation would’ve taken a year or more. Documents show that on December 7, 2016, an initial assessment found Russia likely didn’t meaningfully meddle in the election. But that report vanished the next day after "new guidance" came down from on high. By December 9, Obama and his national security cronies huddled at the White House, and voilà, a new assessment was born, custom-tailored to fit the narrative.

Gabbard's memo lays it out plain: these 37 individuals aren't just losing their clearances; they're cut off from classified systems, government contracts, the works. And with Gabbard shining a spotlight on Obama's intelligence crew, it’s clear the swamp's getting a long-overdue draining.

Former DNI James Clapper has "lawyered up" and is upset as a waterboarded cat

James "not wittingly" Clapper

The Russia Collusion saga just got a fresh twist, and it’s got some big players sweating, James Clapper, for one. 

Obama's old Director of National Intelligence, got tossed a hot potato by CNN's Kaitlan Collins about the current DNI Tulsi Gabbard, calling for a criminal probe into that whole Russia Collusion clusterfrack. You know, the one we've been yelling about forever.

As we said earlier, Gabbard's not messing around. She's kicked this over to the DOJ, and they've spun up a full-on Strike Force to dig into it. That’s the kind of language that makes you sit up straight; sounds like they’re finally ready to throw some punches. 

Now, I get it, we’re all a bit cynical after years of "will anything actually come of this?" But this feels like they’re gearing up for real. Sure, statute of limitations might tie their hands on some counts, and time's a cruel beast when it comes to building a case. But that announcement? It’s got the right vibe, like they're ready to flip every stone and see who's still got dirt on their hands.

So, Collins [no relation to RINO Susan Collins] corners Clapper on CNN, asking if he’s sweating bullets over the Trump admin maybe coming for him. His response is pure gold:

"Well, certainly I do. You know, after eight and a half years of this, and I don't know of an intelligence product that was more scrutinized, more investigated than that product was by numerous people...You know, it's very disconcerting. It really is. And I take seriously when the President of the United States accuses me of being a participant in a treasonous conspiracy, which is ridiculous."

Cue an adult diaper commercial.

Clapper’s out here calling it "untrue," but you can almost hear his knees knocking. Collins pushes harder, like, "What’s your move if they come for you? Got a plan?" 

And Clapper says: "I'll lawyer up, I suppose. I already have."

C'mon man, this dude’s been lawyered up since he bounced from government in 2017. That’s not the talk of a guy chilling by the pool. That’s a guy who's been sleeping with one eye open for years. Folks on X are eating this up, saying Clapper sounds like he's about to jump out of his skin. Also, it's probably not the best move to be yapping on CNN about it. Most lawyers would be like, "Yo, zip it, even if you think you’re clean." 

Rookie mistake, Jimbo.

This whole mess is about to get wild. I’m betting we’ll see more big names scrambling for legal cover faster than you can say "subpoena." And those whistleblowers Gabbard’s talking about? If they’ve got the goods, it could be the spark this case needs to light up.

GOP demands new probe into Hunter's laptop and coverup

The number of Republicans across the nation continues to grow in their demand of a new investigation into the Hunter Biden laptop. It isn't only Republicans who admit the veracity of the New York Post's exposure 17 months ago of the contents of the laptop, but even the Democrat-run NY Times confirmed the authenticity of a laptop, albeit in the 24 paragraph in a story mostly about Hunter paying what he owed to the IRS.

[H/T The New York Post]

Social media, another arm of the Democratic Party, censored the September 2020 exclusive by The Post, regarding the existence of Hunter Biden's laptop to help his father win the presidential election. The NY Times and other leftist media attacked The Post's exposure of the Bidens, while the Biden administration lied and said it was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

Others fell in lockstep to the lie: Jake Tapper, John Brennan, Michael Hayden, James Clapper, Leon Panetta, as detailed in The Western Journal.  More than 50 intelligence agency officials all fell in line trying to discredit The Post revelation, however, not a single person offered any apology when contacted by the newspaper. 

Anyone who still listens to these liars on CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the leftist media outlets and still believes their lies, is being willfully ignorant and as naive as a naked virgin in Boys Town.

Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney (NY-22) said Saturday that the episode demanded congressional action.

“Big Tech’s censorship of a story the liberal media has now acknowledged to be true just proves that a Republican House majority must take meaningful action to rein in Big Tech censors next year,” she said. “All options should be on the table, including probes into their conduct and its impact on the Democratic process.”

Others in the GOP, such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) and Ronna McDaniel, Chairperson of the Republican National Committee, called for accountability fo those who lied.

Sen. Ted Cruz told The Post, “The most basic accountability requires firing those responsible for the ‘Russian disinfo’ lie about the Biden family’s corruption, including and especially the former intelligence officials who were elevated to the top of cable news because they pushed wild and unsubstantiated Russia conspiracy theories about President Trump. ..."

Hunter's laptop, which he left at a computer repair shop in Delaware contained evidence that he was in bed with deep-pocketed corporations in Ukraine and China and his father, PINO Joe Biden, was getting a cut of the money. Now that I think of it, Hunter's computer was probably in need of repair from viruses it picked up on porn sites. Just a guess.

The coverup helped Joe Biden win the election. Almost 50 percent of Biden voters knew nothing of the laptop scandal at the time of the election and about 10 percent said they would not have voted for Biden had they known, according to a survey from The Media Research Center.

That 10 percent would have given Trump the victory and America the win.

Two of the 3 stooges lash out at Trump for transparency

Former CIA Director and clear pronouncer of his "t's" John Brennan along with his partner in crime, former DNI James Clapper slammed President Trump on Friday for abiding by his promise of transparency and directing Attorney General William Barr to declassify documents related to the surveillance of his campaign during the 2016 election.

The two stooges [the third stooge is, of course, James Comey] called it "outrageous."

"I see it as a very, very serious and outrageous move on the part of Mr. Trump, once again, trampling on the statutory authorities of the Director of National Intelligence and the heads of the independent intelligence agencies," Brennan told the MSNBC androgynous-looking host Chris Hayes, using the Trump-esque expression "very very." 

"And it's unclear to me what Mr. Barr is actually going to do. Is he investigating a crime? Well, what's the predication of that crime [as if the left had a predication of a crime on Trump.]  Or he is just going to be looking for information... that Mr. Trump can just give to his defenders on the right and cherry-pick information that could be taken out of context?"

So the plot thickens as the shoe is on the other proverbial foot, eh, Brennan? Time to form your circular firing squad.

Brennan expressed concern about exposing "sources and methods" as well as the intelligence of "partners abroad." But he's spit-balling because he doesn't know what the documents will expose.

The 3 Stooges

"This is very serious and I know that my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry," Brennan said.

He later said he hopes that DNI Dan Coats and CIA Director Gina Haspel will "stand up" to President Trump's "unprecedented act."

The POTUS has the authority to declassify information and that has happened in the past. There is no reason to believe that Trump will compromise sources and methods with the material he declassifies.

James Clapper told CNN's Anderson "I Can Take A Punch" Cooper that the "bigger issue" is "what exactly is the scope" of the declassification, whether it involves all of Russia's interference in the election or just the counter-intelligence probe. He expressed similar concerns that Brennan voiced regarding sources and methods being exposed and putting "people's lives at risk," [much like former Attorney General and Obama "Wingman" Eric Holder did with the "Fast and Furious" strawman gun sales he pushed with the Mexican drug cartels that got Border Agent Brian Terry killed.]

Clapper, now a CNN analyst of questionable character, insisted that the debunked Steele dossier was not used as sourcing for the intelligence community assessment in January 2017. But it looks like he's going to have a cow.

Obama spy leaders amid Russia probe: "Throwing each other under the bus"

A new round of covert finger-pointing has begun among Obama administration officials after the launch of a formal inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation. The investigation is being led by John Durham, one of the Justice Department’s toughest prosecutors. These officials just might have some explaining to do about efforts that were taken to surveil the Trump campaign.

A key issue that popped up like a wet zit this week concerns whether then-FBI Director James Comey or then-CIA Director John Brennan -- or both of these losers -- pushed the unverified and inaccurate Steele dossier containing claims about President Trump and his relationship to Russia. The dossier’s more sensational claims were never substantiated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) has long demanded to know about the origins of the Mueller probe tweeted:

“Amazing—James Comey says that in 2016, John Brennan insisted on including the dossier in their IC assessment. But Brennan says: no no, COMEY wanted to use the dossier.” 

Meadows added:

“They know the truth is coming. And now they're all throwing each other under the bus.”

It's actually quite fun to watch.

Sources told Fox News that a late-2016 email chain said that Comey told FBI subordinates that Brennan insisted the dossier be included in the intelligence community assessment (ICA) on Russian interference. That email chain has not been made public.

However, a former CIA official put the blame squarely on Comey, according to Fox News.

"Former Director Brennan, along with former [Director of National Intelligence] James Clapper, are the ones who opposed James Comey’s recommendation that the Steele Dossier be included in the intelligence report," the official said.

Clapper previously testified that the dossier was not ultimately used in the ICA, but with Clapper, the truth can be elusive.

News that Comey had briefed Trump personally on the dossier before the inauguration -- purportedly to warn him of potential blackmail threats -- leaked within days and opened the door for media outlets to publicize the dossier's harsh claims.

Another FBI top official said in a podcast that he and others worried that it could appear to people who fail to see the wonderment, wisdom and spiritual clarity of Comey that he was trying to blackmail Trump when he initially told him about the allegations in the dossier.

The trees and the road know of his purity.

The Justice Department’s watchdog, Michael Horowitz, also is expected to conclude his internal review of how the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was used to secure the original surveillance warrant for former Trump aide Carter Page in October 2016, as well as for three renewals since it was built on bull crap.

Horowitz’s team has questioned why the FBI considered Steele, a foreign national, a credible source, and why the bureau seemed to use news reports to bolster Steele’s credibility. Is it even remotely possible Steele, et al, hate Donald Trump?

U.S. Attorney John Huber earlier was appointed by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to review not only alleged surveillance abuses by the Justice Department and the FBI, but also their handling of the investigation into the Clinton Foundation and other matters. The status of Huber's work is not known but the sweat is starting to form above many an upper lip.

It's Rice who uncovered the covered

The lady who brought us the scoop on Benghazi, informing us the attack of the American compound was caused by a video, and that Bowe Bergdahl "served with honor and distinction" in the Army, is now the focus of the ongoing investigation into Russia's involvement with the 2016 election, and the unmasking of names of Americans caught up in NSA surveillance. 

That lady is Susan Rice.

It wasn't a video that started the terrorist attack and Bergdahl is currently facing court martial charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy for allegedly walking off his post in Afghanistan and being a traitorous pus biscuit.

Rice, the former national security adviser (which, when you think of it, is an oxymoron) under then-President Obama, was the person who requested to unmask the names of the Trump transition officials in the surveillance. She denied this last month in an interview.

The unmasked names made the rounds: to all at the Defense Department, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former Rice deputy Ben Rhodes.

It's even possible some of the names were placed on milk cartons to be distributed across the nation, but we're still checking on that.

The names were ostensibly part of incidental electronic surveillance of then-candidate and President-elect Trump and those close to him, including family members. This began up to a year before he took office.

White House Press Secretary and butt of SNL jokes, Sean Spicer, was asked about the revelations at the Monday press briefing but declined to comment on the role Rice may have played or what her motives might be.

"I'm not going to comment on this any further until [congressional] committees have come to a conclusion," Spicer said. He made note of how the media doesn't appear interested in the Rice revelation as much as it is with the possible Trump-Putin links.

Names in this situation are supposed to be masked (redacted from reports) whether it's international or domestic collection. The only time it can be unmasked is when it's an issue of national security, crime, or if the security of the individual whose name was unmasked  is in any danger. There are loopholes and names can be unmasked through backchannels, but Americans are supposed to be protected from incidental collection, and Mike Flynn, for example, was unmasked and illegally revealed to the public. 

Last month, in a TV interview with Dr. Evelyn Farkus (whose brother Marcus Farkus runs a Marcus Farcus focus group) said in part: "I was urging my former colleagues and, frankly speaking, the people on the Hill--it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves the administration." 

Perhaps it was no coincidence that just as Obama and his crew left office, he approved new rules giving the NSA much broader powers by relaxing the rules about sharing intercepted personal communications and the ability to share the communications with 16 (!) other intelligence agencies. 

This makes it even harder to determine who in any intelligence agency is leaking things illegally. 

Think of it as Obama-style camouflage.

The DNI and CIA don't agree with Russian hack assessment

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the agency that oversees our entire intelligence community, does not fully concur with the CIA finding that Russia interfered in the U.S. elections in an effort to help Donald Trump win.

Several U.S. election-related hacking incidents are being categorized as if they are related, but DNI believes they should be treated as separate events. 

The hacking involves breaches at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and another campaign arm. It also involves an email account of a top campaign official for Clinton, and at state election boards.

Although ODNI doesn't dispute the CIA analysis on the Russian hacking, the office isn't convinced that Moscow sought specifically to help Trump beat Clinton. So, it is intent that's at issue here.

The CIA made the call regarding Russia's intent based solely on the fact that only Democratic information was leaked. The ODNI official said that this is a "thin reed upon which to base an analytical judgment."

Perhaps the fact that Donald Trump and other Republicans did not have a private email server hidden in a bathroom closet in Colorado may have made it somewhat more difficult for the Russians to hack the GOP.

Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta, was the person whose email was hacked and he is backing the call for electors to get an intelligence briefing on the situation with Russian interference in the election.

The difference of opinion between the CIA and ODNI was first revealed in a letter on Monday from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) to Director of Intelligence and Ed Rollins lookalike, James Clapper. It noted that the CIA findings conflicted with Clapper's public testimony in mid-November.

"On November 17, 2016, you told the Committee during an open hearing that the IC [Intelligence Community] lacked strong evidence connecting Russian government cyberattacks and WikiLeaks disclosures," Nunes wrote.

Clapper, in response to a question from ranking Democrat Adam Schiff, said "As far as the WikiLeaks connection, the evidence there is not as strong and we don't have good insight into the sequencing of the releases or when the data may have been provided. We don't have as good insight into that."

Nunes is requesting a briefing from the CIA and FBI on the current assessment of alleged involvement by Russia as it relates to our election--he wants it by Dec. 16 as the electors are to cast their votes for the presidential selection on Dec. 19.

The Post reported that the FBI gave a different account on Russian interference and that the CIA assessment was based, in part, on intelligence indicating Moscow's hacking disproportionately affected Democratic targets.

Report: Welcome to our biggest terror threat since 911

House Homeland Security Committee's December Terror Threat Snapshot just released states that we now face our highest terror threat from Muslim terrorists since 9/11. Much of the problem comes from Islamists who are radicalized at home.

Moreover, the threat will persist throughout the coming year both here and in Europe.

"Make no mistake; we face a deadlier threat than ever before, not only because our enemies have gotten savvier, but because we took the pressure off them," House Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul (R. Tx) said in the report. 

"For eight years, the Obama Administration reluctantly played global whack-a-mole with terrorists rather than leaning into the fight with decisive leadership," he added.

The report discusses how ISIS changed its message from joining the jihad in Syria and Iraq to carrying out attacks in the jihadist's homeland, and says that it's likely the at-home radicalization is probably going to increase. Also, porous borders and refugee programs are being used by terrorists.

In addition, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) says that people with terrorist ties in Syria are attempting to enter the US through our refugee program, which has already resettled 13,000 Syrians across the country this year.

Law enforcement and intelligence officials say that we lack reliable and credible intelligence to properly screen and vet potential Syrian refugees, and the diligent vetting of all refugee populations.

The report cited the Ohio State University attack last week that injured 11 and killed the attacker as an example. 

"The attack last week at Ohio State University is further proof that our homeland remains in the crosshairs of Islamist terrorists," McCaul said. "Groups like ISIS are radicalizing new operatives from within our borders and just last week, their new spokesman called for more inspired attacks by supporters 'all over the world'."

Artan, the attacker, was a legal U.S. resident, the same as Mohamed Rafik Naji, 37, from New York who was arrested for trying to join ISIS and expressing his support for an ISIS attack like the one in Nice last summer. And there are more to cite, but you get the point.

Then there's Gitmo. 

This year, Obama's administratin transferred 48 jihadists from Guantanamo Bay and according to James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, at least 30% of these jihadists are known, or suspected, to have returned to their religious jihad of terrorism after their release. As of this month, 59 scumcrumpets remain in Gitmo.

McCaul summarizes the problem by acknowledging how Trump will inherit a "generational struggle that has only gotten longer." He ended by saying, "But rest assured, we will work closely with them to turn the table on these fanatics."

He actually meant 'religiously orthodox Muslims.'

Lyin' James Clapper submits his resignation

James Clapper, the director of national intelligence said that he has formally submitted his resignation.

It's a common practise for those in the outgoing administration to formally put in their letter of resignation knowing that the President-elect will likely select a person who sees "eye-to-eye" with him (it could have been 'her' but Hillary lost and it gives me a fine feathered feeling of schadenfreude).

Clapper has said long ago that he would call it quits at the end of the Obama error and told the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday that he submitted the letter of resignation.

Committee members joshed him in earnes and asked him to stay on for mayber four more years, but the comical Clapper said his wife would probably have a problem with that.

Before serving as director, Clapper was a lieutenant general in the Air Force and director of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

You may remember Clapper as the liar at the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing when Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) asked him: "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?"

Clapper: "No sir."

Sen. Wyden, sounding totally incredulous asked: "It does not?"

Clapper: "Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertantly perhaps collect, but not wittingly."

Clapper was given this question a whole day in advance of the hearing and this was how he responded. When the hearing completed, Clapper was even given the chance to change his answer but he opted not to do so.

Of course, this was a lie as whistleblower comrade Edward Snowden revealed to the world that the NSA had a secret program to collect tens of millions of American's phone records, web browsing histories, chat logs and email usage. They even collected physical locations.

When forced to acknowledge his remarks as "erroneous" (aka lying through his tooth), Clapper claimed he "misunderstood" the question, in spite of having it given to him a day in advance. He claimed he had simply "forgotten" the relevant section of the Patriot Act convering these programs.

I'm not a big fan.

Clapper Simply Forgot

Should the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, be forced to take an intelligence test or be diagnosed for Alzheimer's Disease?

Winner of Ed Rollins Look-alike Contest

Based on the fact that two years ago he supposedly "forgot" that the huge data collection program of the NSA existed, I would say yes, analyze the guy.

You remember the hearings when he scratched his forehead as he answered the question regarding whether or not the agency collected data on millions of Americans. 

Before Edward Snowden leaked the damning information about the program, Clapper told the Senate committee in answer to the question, "Not wittingly."

Clapper supposedly forgot the program of data collection even existed. If this is true, then we should all be scared about who's in charge of our nation's security. If it's simply a lie, then we should all be scared about who's in charge of our nation's security.

Robert Litt, the DNI's general counsel, was the person who revealed Clapper's "memory lapse." Litt said that Clapper wasn't lying, "It was perfectly clear that he had absolutely forgotten the existence of the 215 program."

He also forgot his car keys and had to take the bus home.

An Obama Speech You Will Never Hear

"Good afternoon, my fellow leftists. I have a few important confessions to make and while I know this is out of character for me, I'm going to go ahead and make them.

"I should have anticipated ISIL when my National Director of Intelligence and his staff warned me about the growing threat. But I didn't attend most of the meetings--I just took the briefings home to read on the toilet, which I like to call 'my library,' and I didn't have a clue about what was  going on in the Middle East.

"It was a mistake to blame James Clapper for what was really my short sightedness. I'm sorry, James. Hang in there, dude. It won't happen again, I promise, and you know how I am with promises, so good luck.

"Yes ISIL has grown like an angry tumor on Syria's butt, and yes, they are Islamic. I lied when I said they weren't because that's the way I roll. Ever since I was questioned about the Choom Gang, my lying became ingrained in me to the point where I forgot how to tell the truth.

"I didn't want to get us involved in another war because frankly, war scares me. I believe I've destroyed enough human life with my permissive abortion policies, and I want to put a stop to the killing right now.

"George Bush wasn't as bad as I made him out to be--that was just a political ploy to win elections and avoid blame for my personal screw-ups. Being President of the United States of America is darn hard and if I could just go home today and forget about what's in front of us, what with all the messes in the world, I would run faster than Hussein Bolt, who stole his name from me [big toothy smile].

"So I ask for your forgiveness and at noon tomorrow, I will resign from office as President of the United States. 

[Do a Nixon "V" sign with both hands.]

Hong Kong King of Protests

The line for the pay toilet

Hong Kong's Chinatown district is a hotbed of protest and anger over new policies being implemented by the government. Tens of thousands of angry protesters took to downtown Hong Kong square with only two pay toilets to accomodate them.

It didn't take long for the protest to deteriorate into a mud-slinging contest--wait--that wasn't mud.

In any case, there does not appear to be any quick solutions to their complaints other than the fact that "nature's call" coupled with social propriety may eventuate into them going home to take care of pressing matters.

Hari Wu Hu, a Hong Kong resident affectionately known as "The Town Pain in the Ass" said of the protest: "Not to worry. It will all be over in an hour and then they will leave and come back again to protest one more time." 

He made it sound like the effects of Chinese food on hunger.

President Obama is blaming the protest on the previous administration's failure to anticipate such an event.

James Clapper just scratched his head and unfortunately, his last remaining hair fell out.

It seems like the buck always stops elsewhere with Obama.

Obama Scares Crap Out of Putin--Wait

President Where's Waldo has given a clear warning to Russia and the Moscow-backed Ukrainian separatists on Thursday that they better not mess with the crash site of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17. The commercial jet was shot down over rebel territory with 298 people on board. There were no survivors.

Obama spoke with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko by phone and said the US would offer "all possible assistance immediately." According to the White House summary of the call, Poroshenko welcomed the help of international investigators.

Obama, in his "Captain Obvious" pedantic mode said that all evidence of the crash must remain in place on the territory of Ukraine until international  investigators are able to examine all aspects of the tragedy. He obviously learned that on TV where he gets most of his information. He gave a full 40 seconds of his speech to the incident.

It was learned that Vladimir Putin cancelled his bear hunting/fishing trip in the Ural Mountains out of fear that Obama might be serious this time. He plans to cordon off the 10 mile area using American-built fencing that was originally slated to seal of the Southern US border, so that looters and other miscreants "stay the hell away." He said that he got a "good deal" on the fencing.

After Obama's stern warning (we are still trying to discover who this guy Stern is, by the way) he flew to New York City, but prior to that, he stopped in Wilmington, Delaware for a leftist event where he attacked the GOP over infrastructure funding. It seems that Obama has a peculiar way of uniting the country.

While he screwed around and avoided catastrophic world events in order to fund raise, the White House joked that he is working hard behind the scenes to address the crisis. Yes, they said "crisis" as if there was only one crisis taking place in the world. 

Perhaps Obama needs to watch more TV and do less fund raising.

Sen. John McCain (R) said that the United States should know what happened "within hours" and our response should be "within minutes," where we move to arm Ukrainian government forces if the separatists were guilty of shooting down the jet.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner said that we should wait and see what actually happened to MH17. "Many innocents were killed today. It is horrifying, and we await the facts. Right now, we should all take a moment to reflect, count our blessing, and convey our prayers to the loved ones of the victims."

James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, merely scratched his head and said nothing of significance or fact.

Super Tuesday: 2 Beers, 1 Blog

I'm watching Fox News this Super Tuesday and will report my thoughts on the results as time runs on, runs on. There are 419 delegates at stake tonight. 

Newt wins his home state of Georgia, Romney wins Virginia and Vermont, and Iran Paul supporters are still backing a loser anti-Semite isolationist.  The only proof I have of the latter is his old newsletter which, in fact, was anti-Semitic and racist, but Paul denied knowing anything about them and kept repeating the word 'Constitution.'  We should consider playing Word Bingo with Paul and see how often he refers to that word.  He seems to think that our other candidates disregard the Constitution, but never challenges Obama on his unconstitutional behavior.   

As I write this, Ohio's poles just closed and the night should be pretty interesting, except for Santorum's vest--he should definitely lose the vest--it just isn't presidential and image, unfortunately, is almost everything. Let's face it, Obama became president, so you know how true this is.  Ohio is going to be key to Super Tuesday, just like Eli Manning was key to Super Sunday.

A few quick facts about Ohio, while I await the numbers.  Did you know that cats originated in Ohio?  If you don't believe me, check under their tails and you will see an "O." Currently, Ohio has a somewhat lower percentage of unemployment as compared to the rest of the nation, at around 7.9%, but there are pockets of high unemployment and green jobs aren't changing that.  Final fact: Christopher Columbus did not discover the Ohio city named after him.

Paul is now speaking in Fargo, ND. If you've seen the movie by that name, you can picture him standing by the wood chipper with Steve Bucemi's feet sticking up from the loader as he keeps repeating to Bucemi's feet: "Constitution this, you bastard."

Mitt is leading in Ohio, but it' early. Santorum is breathing down his neck and Romney is complaining that Santorum's breath smells like a communion wafer, while Santorum is threatening to give Romney an atomic weggie but wouldn't want to offend his religious undergarment. Brit Hume almost fell asleep again on camera.

Break to real news and we see how our Republican candidates vow to kick Iranian butt if Iran gets a nuclear weapon. Iran Paul said that they said they promise to not do that and there is no reason not to believe them, he said. Shep Smith spoke with Ed Rollins and I realized how much Rollins looks like James Clapper, the guy who didn't have a clue about terrorists, terrorist, and Islam.


Brit Hume is back on and Juan Williams responded to him, sounding like he just arrived after cutting special class. Brit thinks the non-Romney vote that went to Iran Paul, is basically a protest vote.  Juan Williams just discovered why the French invented the cuff buttons on suit jackets--the French wives put them there to keep their husbands from wiping their nose on their sleeve.


This beer is really good--a Canadian brew.  


Ohio is still too close to call, but Rick S. won Oklahoma, and Calista Gingrich is now speaking before Newt goes up to the podium. She says their only opponent is Obama. Santorum also won Tennessee, which bodes well for him.

Newt is up at bat.  The crowd is chanting his name over and over. He thanks the crowd and denounces the national elite for trying to dictate the race.  "Wall Street money can be beaten by mainstream work," he says, and the crowd loves it.   He continues to pound the media, as he does so well. He is willing to allow Obama a teleprompter if he gets the chance for a Lincoln-Douglas  debate.  He says Obama's speeches are "so deliciously incoherent. " He is so right.


Rick is in Ohio and will be speaking too--he i in Steubenville, Ohio, in a gymnasium, probably in a vest again.  Ed Rollins thinks if Rick wins Ohio, he's going to make a huge advance and might even get a few bucks out of the deal from his supporters. Steve Hayes and Brit Hume both thought Newt's speech was too long. Hume thought it was the longest speech ever given by a candidate who was significantly behind in the race. Ed Rollins, aka James Clapper, thought Newt's speech wasn't very inspirational.

Rick is wearing a suit with a solid blue tie. He is bragging about how candidates normally don't come to Steubenville, Ohio, and seems psyched. He introduced his 93 year old mom, and the rest of his family.  He is appealing to the small town crowd that, he says, has made the USA a great country.  I am worried that he might get the nomination and lose to Barry in November. I chuckle whenever Rick strains his words to sound sincere-I believe he is totally sincere, but I wish he'd sound like it. I like Rick Santorum--he's better than ten Obamas, and I like Newt, who I totally believe can beat Obama mano a mano, but Mitt is probably going to win the nomination, and if he does, I fully support him. If Iran Paul wins, I may change my name to Ahmed and just try to blend in.


I wonder if Iran Paul is going to speak. I wonder how many times he uses the word 'Constitution.' I wonder why he left medicine.

Mitt's wife introduced him and the crowd actually sounded enthusiastic--she spoke too long, I believe, but that's just me. Mitt sounded presidential as he spoke about the care that veterans deserve and how he wants to keep government out of the workplace--I hope he's serious. At least he doesn't have an Obamaprompter--I mean teleprompter. His focus was on the economy and jobs and I think it's good that he's staying on point. I like that he's attacking Obama on how he would be unrestrained if he got four more years, because he wouldn't need to worry about reelection.  I agree with him--another four years of Obama would be an Obamination.
