That’s right: a lying, narcissistic Socialist…and a teleprompter! Ever notice when someone actually believes in the product they’re peddling, the words just seem to come naturally…
…regardless of political persuasion?!?
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, just as you can tell a lot about a man by the the company he keeps…
…one can learn all one needs to know about a policy we consider an act of outright treason by the way its presented; or, in the case of biggest act of appeasement since Neville Chamberlain brought back peace in his time from Munich, the way its misrepresented, as NRO‘s Jim Geraghty details:
The Democrats’ Strategy: Insist the Deal Doesn’t Restrict Inspections
The Middle East…in the not-too-distant future; Allahu Akbar…and bless YOU, Barry!
We now know how the Obama administration and its friends will sell the deal with Iran: lie.
Here’s Representative Don Beyer, Democrat of Virginia, telling MSNBC why he’ll vote for the Iran deal: “Thanks to the Obama administration’s negotiations, Iran’s nuclear program will be under lock, key and camera 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The eyes of the international community are on every centrifuge, every ounce of uranium, in all of Iran’s nuclear facilities.”
Completely false: “UN inspectors can demand access to nuclear facilities on Iran military sites, but they aren’t immediate or even guaranteed. Any inspections at those sites would need to be approved by a joint commission composed of one member from each of the negotiating parties. The process for approving those inspections could take as many as 24 days.”
There have been a lot of depressing lies from this administration and its friends — “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” “I didn’t call the Islamic State a ‘JV’ team“; “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman,” – but the fact that the administration and its allies will lie to the public about an issue as important as Iran’s nuclear program is thoroughly dispiriting.
It’s almost as dispiriting as the administration’s blind faith that this deal, which allows Iranian nuclear research to continue, won’t set off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and make a future nuclear conflict much, much more likely.
Just so we’re clear, Iran gets (a) $100 billion to finance international Islamic terrorism and further its nuclear weapons program; (b) to keep its centrifuges; (c) it’s underground nuclear research facility (which begs the question why a “peaceful” nuclear development program needs an underground facility?!?); (d) additional oil revenues; (e) the ability to acquire new weapons systems; (f) virtually no inspections; and (g) a significantly reduced probability sanctions will ever be reimposed.
What does the United States get?
Other than history repeating itself, not a damn thing!
And what about…
…them? Unfortunately, in circumstances eerily similar to the last four Americans…
FYI, were politicians truly held accountable for their acts and words, Don Beyer would be facing a firing squad…along with Barry and Kerry. And we wouldn’t frequent one of his auto dealerships if our very life depended upon it.

The Best Arguments for an Iran Deal
The heroic assumptions, and false premises, of our diplomacy.
“…Americans are a lucky people—lucky in our geography, our founders and the immigrants we attract to our shores. So lucky that Bismarck supposedly once said “there is a special providence for drunkards, fools, and the United States of America.”
Maybe we’ll get lucky again. Maybe Iran will change for the better after Mr. Khamenei passes from the scene. Maybe international monitors will succeed with Iran where they failed with North Korea.Maybe John Kerry is the world’s best negotiator, and this deal was the best we could do.
Or maybe we won’t be lucky.Maybe there’s no special providence for nations drunk on hope, led by fools.“
Owing to a President either hopelessly over his head, or dedicated to her destruction, wethinks America’s luck may have finally run out…
…along with Israel’s!
But, we report, you decide…though we’ll leave you with two thoughts; first, we’re just hoping Bibi, with the off-the-record help of the Saudis and Jordanians, weighs in on the issue…decisively and soon! Second, we don’t know which is more inexplicable: that any thinking American would support such farcical foreign policy; or that so many are lining up…
Since we’re on the subject of classic Clintonian double-speak, NRO‘s David French reports on a sterling example which would leave even Bill speechless with awe:
“The Internal Revenue Service is ignoring a court-imposed deadline to turn over newly found Lois Lerner email documents essential to investigations of the IRS tax-exempt scandal.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan last week ordered the agency to turn over 1,800 new emails from Lerner, who ran the tax exempt unit which decided which organizations could receive tax exempt status.The government watchdog group Judicial Watch has sought the emails in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Monday, a spokesperson told FOXBusiness.com that the group would not oppose the IRS producing something this Wednesday and every 2 weeks thereafter, assuming the Court agrees. At the time of publication there was no word from the IRS on this development or an amended order from the court…”
Rule of law? WE don’ need no stinkin’…
…rule of law!!!
Turning now to Idiots on Parade, contemporary confirmation of Paul’s divinely-inspired wisdom when he wrote Romans 1:22:
“It was supposed to be a stunt to point out the silliness of banning unwanted activity by decree, but a college conservative group in Oregon was stunned at the reason school officials killed their proposed “murder free zone.”
Portland State University’s College Republicans chapter sought permission to set up a table on campus to generate support for the idea, but school officials said their effort could promote violence against them…“In the murder-free zone we were looking to create, nobody will be killed with guns, knives, sticks, or anything of the sort,” said Christian Bripschgi, political director of Oregon’s College Republican Federation chapter.
Bripschgi, who wrote about his effort in a column for The College Fix, figured getting permission to set up the table would be “as easy as renting a library book.” The idea was to advance a “murder-free zone” as a logical extension of the “gun free zones” on campus and in buildings across the Portland area.
“Our advisor signed off on our proposal quickly at first but became skeptical after she saw the nature of the content,” Bripschgi said. Upon further review, Bripschgi said, school officials determined the proposal could be “libelous,” “triggering” and cause people to attack them.
Portland State officials did not respond to numerous requests for comment…”
Sooo…why not just declare the campus of Portland State a “violence free” zone? Problem solved!
In a related item of educated idiocy, as we learn in today’s installment of Your Tax Dollars at Work, aka the Junk Science Section…
“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has now spent over $3.5 million to determine why the majority of lesbians are obese. The project, now entering its fifth year, received another grant worth $658,485 this summer. The total funding for the research is now $3,531,925. Funding has more than doubled since the study was first revealed in 2013.
Since, the study that is examining why three-quarters of lesbians are obese, but gay men are not, has survived sequester cuts and continues to produce results such as the discovery that gay men have a “greater desire for toned muscles” than straight men.
Another scientific paper associated with the research concluded that lesbians have lower “athletic- self esteem” that may lead to higher rates of obesity…”
Gee…it couldn’t be they were obese, and consequently unattractive to begin with. And the resultant failure to attract a member of the opposite sex led to seek love elsewhere? Then again, maybe if they stopped forcing Christians to bake them cakes…?!?
This reminds us: do you know…
Which brings us, appropriately enough, to the Lighter Side:
Finally, because we know it will bring a smile to TLJ’s luscious lips:
