Putting former Harvard University Professor Ashton Carter in charge of the U.S. Military for the last two years of President Obama’s tenure will show what happens when a person with ZERO military experience becomes Defense Secretary.

Carter is an academic policy wonk of the same mindset and world view as Samantha Power (now UN Ambassador and wife of former Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein). That comparative will become more evident as the next two years progress. There is nothing about Aston Carter, nor his individual opinion of the military, which would lend a person to believe there is any inherent qualification which would benefit the Defense Department.
To the contrary, Carter should be fully anticipated to weaken the Military, through policy, in the same way that Samantha Power has influenced foreign policy to diminish U.S. influence globally. He begins the process immediately with a decision to have a civilian, non-military, spokesperson represent the public face of the Pentagon. (more…)

The Democrat Party is apoplectic with rage at the determination by a Federal Court Judge who has blocked the Obama implementation of the “executive action” in changing immigration status and law. However, the anger is now exposing the dark underbelly of the Democrat plan to usurp voter law.
In this video you see one such exposure. Democrat Representative Louis Gutierrez claiming that now, because of the judicial ruling, the Democrat party will assist the illegal alien community in registering to vote, voting and expressing voter anger.

This admission by Gutierrez should be used by every advocacy group who is trying to insure voter integrity. It is clear evidence of exactly why voter identification is needed in every state and Gutierrez’s admission actually supports the position of why such voter integrity laws are needed. (more…)

It must be noted at the beginning of this discussion to remind readers of what is not stated, along with what is.

Back in November of 2014 President Obama announced his intention to “fix a broken immigration system” with his pen. The basic outline was sold by the White House as a pending “executive order”.  However when the immediate debate erupted around presidential authority in that regard most readers will note that an “executive order” was never actually issued. Instead, after delivering his nationally televised speech, Obama directed Jeh Johnson to modify his DHS immigration enforcement approach with what was/is now called an “executive action“.
The difference between what Obama promised to the illegal alien community via an “executive order”, and what was delivered days later via an “executive action” reflects a key legal distinction affirming the reality that an “executive order” -to intentionally subvert legislative authority- would have been unconstitutional.
The White House Office of Legal Counsel knew and advised Obama from the outset an executive order was impossible.   This aspect Obama himself admitted numerous times over the preceding two years to Latino audiences.  (more…)

Marie Harf joined Chris Matthews on MSNBC yesterday to advance an ideology we have actually heard before. When discussing radical Islam, and more specifically ISIS, according to Harf:

“We’re killing a lot of them and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians. They’re in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs”.

Now pause for a moment, turn your head at a 25° angle, cross your eyes, pretend she is in direct eye contact with yourself…. and ask the obvious:  “Dear Ms. Harf, if that be true – then why in sam kittens is President Obama asking for AN AUTHORIZATION OF MILITARY FORCE” ? {{Mic Drop}} (more…)

 

That’ll teach em’….

According to ITV News a rather large gathering of people came together rallying to show solidarity for the victims of the weekend’s Copenhagen shootings: “Scores of people have attended a candlelit vigil in Copenhagen tonight following the weekend’s fatal shootings. Two men detained on Sunday by police investigating the two fatal shootings in Copenhagen have been charged with aiding the suspected attacker.

The suspected Copenhagen gunman was a 22-year-old Danish man known to authorities for a history of violence and weapon possession, police have said. Danish media outlets have identified him as Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, though police would not confirm the identity”.  (source link)

One would think the various countries who find themselves victims to the terrorist attacks would additionally be willing to do more to aid in the elimination of the source of the threat. Yet few of the countries are willing to put their own military or defense teams on the ground to join the coalition effort.
It is one thing to hold a candlelight vigil, it is another thing entirely to avoid the need for the candles in the first place.

WASHINGTON DC – IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress on Wednesday that even illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes will be able to claim back-refunds once they get Social Security numbers under President Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty.

The revelation — which contradicts what he told Congress last week — comes as lawmakers also raised concerns Mr. Obama’s amnesty could open a window to illegal immigrants finding ways to vote, despite it being against the law. (more…)

The Washington Post is essentially hiding their own embarrassment by deflecting their presentation to a question of which one of these image videos’ would be more apt to be used by opponents to Obama saying ‘he’s diminishing the office’.
We have no idea what the heck is actually supposed to be accomplished by this entire fiasco. Perhaps someone can explain it to me.

Warning – what follows below is, well, perhaps the weirdest and least explainable presentations of President Obama ever. (more…)

The U.S. State Department ordered our U.S. marines to destroy their military weapons at the Yemen embassy prior to leaving. The marine detachment was then forced to destroy their personal weapons as a contingency for being allowed aboard a contracted evacuation flight. The servicemen and servicewomen were left without any form of protection.
Apparently CENTCOM is not happy with the John Kerry State Department who chose to put our military in a defenseless position. John Kerry rumored to not exactly give a s**t; after all they’re only stupid soldiers – not grand magnanimous intellectuals like Marie Harf and Patrick Kennedy.
The Marine Corps has clarified what Marines did under State Department orders in Yemen following the evacuation of the U.S. embassy. Full statement below:

(BizPacReview) South Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s office is claiming her appearance at the Grammy awards Sunday wasn’t just a junket for a star-struck politician dying to rub elbows with the glitterati. It was a research trip, paid for by the congresswoman’s campaign funds. That’s the story being spun by Wasserman Schultz’s office, anyway, after a New York Times reporter posted a photo of the Democrat in the background of a television standup – a photo that rocketed around the Twitter world. (The presence of Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee in the same photo helped.)
Since it’s easier to keep a straight face by email, Wasserman Shultz’s communications director Sean Bartlett had no problem passing this spiel to the Sun-Sentinel (subscription required.) (more…)

Where will Stewart go next? CNN or one of the alphabets?… maybe a Sunday talk show? What do you think? (Via The Atlantic) Following a late-afternoon surge of speculation from attendees of Tuesday’s taping of The Daily Show, Comedy Central President Michele Ganeless has confirmed that Jon Stewart will be leaving his post as the show’s host later this year. Ganeless wrote:

For the better part of the last two decades, I have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with Jon Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. (more…)
