The Daily Caller collected the data on White House visitors and put it into a graph form. The main reason for them doing so was to highlight the implausible nature of the IRS Commissioner, Douglas Shulman, visiting the White House 157 times and not discussing the intentional targeting of “Conservatives”.
But there’s more to be learned also. Wouldn’t this list also reflect the Administrations priorities? (more…)
Hey, ya gotta give em’ props for honesty. The Syrian “rebels” admit they are al-Qaeda, and the folks that met John McCain were only pitchmen – not commanders, and not representative of the real ideology behind uprising.
(Via Time) . . . The reason for this night’s meeting, and indeed for the Libyans’ 10-day trip to southern Turkey and across the border into northern Syria, was to help the Libyans figure out how to get some of Libya’s vast and loose stockpiles of machine guns, artillery, ammunition and antiaircraft systems — leftovers amassed largely by snatching government stockpiles during their own successful military uprising against their late dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, and from supplies donated to the Libyan rebels by the oil-rich Gulf nation of Qatar — to Assad’s opponents. […]
The Syrian men who sat radially around the beige couch in the Turkish hotel were keen to get their hands on some of that batch of weapons. But first, the Libyans wanted to know who the Syrians were exactly and which rebel group each represented. (more…)
Well it appears we now have TWO people in the media asking the “right” question. Last week Chris Wallace, now Charles Krauthammer:
“I think there is a bigger story here that will in time come out. The biggest scandal of all, the biggest question is what was the president doing in those eight hours. He had a routine meeting at five o’clock. He never after during the eight hours when our guys have their lives in danger, he never called the Secretary of Defense, he never calls the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he never called the CIA Director, Who does he call? But five hours in he calls the Secretary of State. And after the phone call she releases a statement essentially about the video and how we denounce any intolerance. It looks as if the only phone call is to construct a cover story at a time when the last two Americans who died were still alive and fighting for their lives. There’s the scandal and that has to be uncovered.” (more…)
SYRIA – Members of the Free Syrian Army reportedly attacked the Christian-dominated al-Duvair village in Reef on the outskirts of Homs on Monday, where they massacred its citizens, including women and children, before the Syrian Army interfered.
This reported attack comes shortly after intense fighting in the city of al-Qusseir over the weekend, in which Bashar Al-Assad’s forces inflicted heavy casualties on the rebels.
Assad’s forces launched an offensive in April in an effort to cut off supply lines to the rebels by taking the city and its surrounding areas from the rebel groups that had been entrenched there since last year. Two weeks ago, the Syrian forces reached the center of the city
While the sources describing Monday’s massacre are supportive of Assad, it’s possible that it occurred since the rebel groups fighting the Assad regime are composed mainly of members of al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda affiliated groups and have committed war crimes and atrocities in the past. (more…)
The French authorities are dealing what they feel may be a “copy cat” attack against one of their active duty military members on “anti-terrorism” patrol in a crowded Paris street on Saturday. The soldier was attacked from behind with a box-cutter – the same tool used in the 9-11 hijackings that brought down the World Trade Center. While the US media remains silent, the UK’s Daily Mail helpfully reports:
A uniformed French soldier on anti-terrorist duties in Paris had his throat cut by a knife-wielding man tonight.
The savage attack follows the murder of a British soldier by two men using weapons including knives and a meat cleaver. One of the suspects said they were acting in the name of Islam.
Today there were fears that the Paris attack was a copy-cat crime and that a radical Muslim might once more be responsible.
-snip-
Police in the French capital described the attacker as a being ‘bearded, of North African origin and wearing a light coloured jihab’ under a jacket.
In 2009 McCain went to Turkey in support of another BFF of Obama, Prime Minister Erdogan. We tried to warn….. it fell on deaf ears. (more…)
Last month we brought you the story of John Heinz Kerry’s new strategy for diplomacy. {It was part of our “stuck on stupid” series} In essence Ketchup Boy’s primary strategy is to put Western Businesses in the Middle East, subsidize their efforts, and hope that the jihadists will take off their suicide vests in favor of picking up a spatula (taking a job).
At the time Kerry said:
“[W]e’re not going to solve this challenge of terror and of extremism and of people finding an alternative if we’re not reaching out to people, talking to them, bringing them to the table and trying to work through major, perceived differences,”
[…] “I believe we have to create a new paradigm, frankly, to deal with this.”
[…] He repeated that the new paradigm combines economic diplomacy with “significant diplomatic outreach.”
Yesterday the initial report of him following this strategy came out: (more…)
Cultural Marxism is modern political correctness on steroids:
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.“
The recent terrorist attack in London, England, not unlike the Fort Hood shooting, highlight the insufferable refusal of the delusional, illogical, minority – liberals – to accept what confronts them: Traditional Islamists bent on killing non-Muslims.
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, says the recent beheading of the U.K. Soldier in the street outside the army base is merely a “betrayal of Islam”. No, that is simply trying to pick up the turd by the clean end. (more…)
