It’s Monday, January 18th, 2016…but before we begin, we interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this news flash!
US Sen Lindsey Graham will endorse Jeb Bush for president this morning in North Charleston, Post and Courier exclusive
Talk about a game changer: Jeb now has a lock on the douchebag wing of the Republican Party! As contributor Bill Meisen noted when he did the math, with Jeb currently at 4.8%, adding Graham’s supporters takes him down to 4.3%!!! As we’ve often noted, with friends like Lindsay Grahamnesty, who needs Dimocrats?!?
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, though the Iranian seizure of 1o U.S. sailors has inexplicably disappeared as a story even with FOX News, Drudge and the WSJ, it’s still on our radar. Submitted for your perusal, the Code of Conduct which governs the acts of any U.S. Military personnel who fall into hostile hands:
Based on everything we were ever taught, like Lucy, both LT Nartker and his Commander-in-Chief…
Then again, a long of things have changed, including the sycophantic sell-out at the highest levels of a U.S. Military sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign…
…and…
…domestic!
Meanwhile, the appropriately-titled Yahoo News crows…
Yet nowhere in his propaganda piece does writer Andrew Beatty mention the obvious and unacceptable quid pro quo Ted Cruz readily identified:
“We released seven terrorists who had helped Iran with their nuclear program, and we agreed not to prosecute another 14 terrorists for doing the same thing.“
Thus, like their earlier effort to make the bagging of bin Laden somehow balance the scales of history in The Dear Misleader’s favor, Team Tick-Tock and their MSM lapdogs are now attempting to use the release of 5 innocent, illegally-detained Americans obfuscate their egregious foreign policy failures.
To borrow a phrase from John “Dean Vernon Wormer” Vernon:
Oh, and don’t forget:
In other news of the rapidly retreating Obama Revolution, courtesy of Balls Cotton, as Emmett Tyrrell notes at The American Spectator, John Donne’s admonition notwithstanding…
“The Federal Bureau of Investigation will recommend that the Justice Department bring criminal charges against Hillary Clinton and various of her aides, and soon. The evidence consists of materials that the Bureau has gathered in the course of its months-long investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s personal server. The recommendations will come very soon.
The charges will consist of some of the following:
1. Improper disclosure or retention of classified information.
2. Destruction of government records.
3. Lying to federal agents.
4. Lying under oath.
5. Obstruction of justice.
All the counts are familiar to those of us who have followed the Clintons for a quarter of a century, but, as one source familiar with the FBI’s investigation told me, the evidence has now reached a “critical mass.”
There are those who have told me that the FBI has been engaged in a ruse. And that the Bureau will report it has come across nothing criminal. Then the whole imbroglio is expected to blow over.
But such cynics are in the minority. Most sources have told me the investigation is genuine, serious, and all but completed. One told me that it was completed two months ago. The Bureau has put together a case that as one source put it “islocked up.It is solid.”…”
Perhaps, but we won’t hold our breath waiting for it to happen…nor will we be surprised when it doesn’t. Problem is, we’re living increasingly in a Banana Republic, dear friends…with two sets of laws. The laws which don’t apply to her...
…would likely have any of us in prison for the rest of our natural lives.
In a related item, courtesy of The Daily Beast via Drudge, we learn…
“The State Department put up virtually no resistance when Hillary Clinton’s private lawyer requested to keep copies of her emails—even though those emails contained classified information, and even though it was unclear whether the attorney was cleared to see such secrets. (And his requisite “need to know” would have been…?!?)
Experts on the handling of classified information tell The Daily Beast that the seemingly chummy arrangement between Clinton’s lawyer and her former State Department aides was “quite unusual.”…”
To say the least. But then again, the mishandling of classified government information has become something of…
…a Clinton tradition!
All of which serves to remind us, Donald Trump’s obvious and otherwise-disqualifying foibles notwithstanding…
Next up, James Taranto suggests part of The Anointed One’s problems are a result of him…
Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places
From the Washington Times:
Elaborating on his admitted failure to heal the partisan divide in Washington, President Obama said Thursday his presidency got off to a bad start in 2009 because some Republican lawmakers were more concerned about their re-election than they were in helping him to save the nation from economic ruin.
Speaking at a town-hall-style event in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the president, expanding on a theme he raised in Tuesday’s State of the Union address, said he has “done soul-searching” in office about what he could have done differently to work more effectively with Republicans in Congress. . . .
The problem, Mr. Obama said, was that “people in Washington sometimes weren’t always as focused on getting the job done as they were [on], ‘How’s this going to position us for future elections?’”
If you arrive at the conclusion that other people are to blame for your problems, chances are you’ve been searching something other than your soul.
Guess he just…
Had we three working kidneys and offered a perfect donor match, were Barry in total renal failure, absent the command of our Lord and Savior to “love your enemies; do good to those who hate you”, we’d most happily say…
