Inconvenient Facts: Chlorine, It’s not just for toilets anymore.

I need to power down for a bit this weekend, so I leave you with this to discuss amongst yourselves: From the Washington Free Beacon – some reporter had the audacity to press BHO on his waffling on the red line in Syria. So Big Guy schooled him on the fact that chlorine is just a toilet bowl cleanser:

During a press conference at Camp David, President Obama said that chlorine isn’t ‘historically’ a chemical weapon.

“We have seen reports about the use of chlorine in bombs that had the effect of chemical weapons. Chlorine, chlorine, itself, historically has not been listed as a chemical weapon, but when it is used in this fashion, can be considered a prohibited use of that particular chemical,” President Obama said.

“And so we’re working with the international community to investigate that and, in fact, if we have the kinds of confirmation that we need, we will, once again, work with the international community and the organization charged with monitoring compliance by the Syrian government, and we will reach out to patrons of Assad, like Russia, to put a stop to it.”

Except, umm, when it is a weapon of mass destruction:

chlorine plants

And since we’re talking about certain inconsistencies of thought, here is your mandatory weekend reading assignment. There will be a pop quiz so be sure to read all of it: The Inconvenient Truth About Ghetto Communities’ Social Breakdown by the great Thomas Sowell.

We are told that such riots are a result of black poverty and white racism. But in fact — for those who still have some respect for facts — black poverty was far worse, and white racism was far worse, prior to 1960. But violent crime within black ghettos was far less. (snip)

You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility, and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.

Have a good weekend, peeps. If you have time, maybe you can bake some cookies for somebody you love.

A Dishonest Man You Can Always Trust To Be Dishonest

diogenes-biography-outcastDiogenes, in search of an honest man

An honest journOlist? They’re incredibly hard to find you know.

Take George Stephanopoulos for example. He made an “honest” mistake by “forgetting” to declare his $25,000 $50,000 $75,000 contribution to the Clinton Foundation while maintaining his façade of “neutral” television talking head. It’s okay though because a) he apologized on air and b) he said he wouldn’t moderate ABC's GOP debate. Why the GOP would have a debate moderated by anyone at ABC, NBC, CBS…etc. is a matter to take up with psychiatrists, butt seriously shouldn’t George recuse himself from any and all public presidential debates? Don’t we know him to be, for certain, to be a Clinton butt-boy (no offense to butt-boys)? And haven’t we seen what a dishonest journalist can inject into a debate?

obama-candy-crowley-bias.bo jpgCandy Crowley, giving Big Guy a hand.

And while Diogenes search for one honest journOlist may well be eternal:

candy brian george dishonest journalists

I believe I did unearth another sort of anomaly – an honest Muslim:

“Islam was never for a day the religion of peace, Islam is the religion of war” said Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi during his recorded speech breaking a prolonged period of silence.

He released a 35-minute audio message to his followers in which he urged Muslims around the world to travel to Iraq and Syria and join up with the Islamic State.

Which of course is why he must be ignored. Butt there - he said it:

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) has informed us of the Malāhim (Armageddon). He gave us good tidings and promised us that we would be victorious in these battles. He is the truthful and trustworthy, peace be upon him. And here we are today seeing the signs of those Malāhim and we feel the winds of victory within them.

Oh, and he also called for an end of Al-Saud, saying the Saudi rulers  descended from Abdullah Ibn Abi Salūl, an enemy of Prophet Muhammad. I guess that could explain the Saudi King passing up the pow-wow at Camp David with “the ally who cannot be trusted.” He’s looking to team up with those holding big guns and not afraid to use them: China and Russia.

Meanwhile, I will continue Diogenes lonely search for an honest man/woman. Somehow I get the feeling I may be looking in all the wrong places.

"Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest one's you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly stupid." ~Curse of the Black Pearl~

Which doesn’t preclude the dishonest man from doing something incredibly stupid as well.

“You Didn’t Earn That on Your Own; Somebody Else Did That For You” (take 5)

Speaking to a panel on poverty at Georgetown University, President Barack Obama dismissed wealthy Americans as “society’s lottery winners” and called on them to made a “modest investment” to the poor in the form of tax increases. – Daily Caller

If you Google “Life’s Biggest Lottery Winner” I’m pretty sure this will be the first image entry:

bo winning fansThe luckiest man in the world

“There’s a fairness issue involved here. And by the way, if we were able to close that loophole, I could now invest in early childhood education to make a difference. [Prove it] That’s where the rubber hits the road. That’s … where the question of compassion and ‘I’m my brother’s keeper’

George-Obama-1George Obama, still living in a shack somewhere in Kenya

comes into play. And if we can’t ask from society’s lottery winners to just make that modest investment, then really this conversation [on poverty] is for show.”

Let’s ask the Reverend Al Sharpton weigh in on this:

“Why Is That Girl In the Senate Opposing My Plans?”

I think it may be a good idea for Big Guy to lay low for awhile. It seems every time he opens his mouth lately somebody sticks his foot in it.

Obama_Foot_Mouth

Take yesterday for example, when he was whining about people in general and Cherokee Princess Senator Elizabeth Warren in particular for not supporting his Trade Bill:

 NOW president: Obama’s Warren critique sexist.

National Organization for Women (NOW) president Terry O’Neill on Wednesday called President Obama’s critique of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sexist.

O’Neill told The Hill she took issue with Obama calling Warren by her first name during an interview with Yahoo News published Saturday.

“Yes, I think it is sexist,” O’Neill said. “I think the president was trying to build up his own trustworthiness on this issue by convincing us that Senator Warren’s concerns are not to be taken seriously. But he did it in a sexist way.”

Obama told Yahoo that Warren was opposing his trade agenda to further her own political brand.

“The truth of the matter is that Elizabeth is, you know, a politician like everybody else. And you know, she’s got a voice that she wants to get out there. And I understand that,” Obama told Yahoo.

O’Neill said Obama’s “clear subtext is that the little lady just doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Which led some to observe: “They told me if I voted for Mitt Romney, we’d have a sexist President who condescended to the ‘little ladies.’ And they were right!”

1017-romney-debate-binders-full-of-women_full_600Romney had binders full of womyn, heaven only knows what BHO’s binders were filled with.

And then there was his most recent hissy fit swipe at Fox News:

In a forum on poverty at Georgetown University, Obama bemoaned that in recent decades, "the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don't want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction," and blamed the conservative-leaning cable channel for its role in the trend.

"I have to say, if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it's a constant menu. They will find folks that make me mad. I don't know where they find them," Obama said. "They're all like, 'I don't want to work, I just want a free Obamaphone, or whatever. That becomes a narrative that gets worked up."

Obama-Obey“We’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues.”

It seems to me – although I just reflect, you decide - that being able to distinguish between the working poor and the leeches, sponges and parasites would be a valuable skill in determining to whom and how to provide a helping hand. Unless of course you want to propagate the idea of institutionalized victimhood;

obama-class-war

because that works equally well on both the race and class war fronts. 

So my bad; now I get it!

haves have notsJust looking for that hidden trap door that nobody tells us about.

What If You Won An Election…

What if you won an election butt the incumbent refused to leave?

Obama-FDR

I know, silly isn’t it? However that’s exactly what happened in Alabama.

Employees of an Alabama plant will be voting for the fifth time on whether it will oust the United Auto Workers union. The union has lost three of the four previous votes at NTN-Bower Corporation, but has filed appeals with the National Labor Relations Board alleging management interference.

The one vote won by the union was nullified for voting irregularities. In that January vote, only 139 of the plant's 140 workers voted, but a total of 148 ballots were cast.

Butt that’s a terrifying thought isn’t it: three legal votes ignored in order to make way for a fraudulent fourth election due to irregularities. Irregularities? Where I come from, that’s known as Chicago Rules!

vote twice

"It shouldn’t take five votes to get rid of a union that has clearly overstayed its welcome," Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation, said, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

"The NLRB has stacked the deck against workers seeking to remove unwanted unions, allowing union officials to throw out results that don’t go their way and hold onto power."

I know, I know; the “nutz and slutz” brigade (h/t James Carville) has been circulating rumors for months now about how Big Guy is going to impose martial law, suspend the Constitution and give himself a third term.

sluts and labor vote

That, of course, is just crazy! Everyone knows Big Guy can’t suspend the constitution. Right?

“If you can dispense with immigration laws or marijuana laws or mandatory minimums, can you also dispense with election laws?” Gowdy asked Lazarus, who replied, “No.”

“Why not? If he can suspend mandatory minimum and immigration laws, why not election laws?” Gowdy asked.

“Because we live in a government of laws, and the president is bound to obey them and apply them,” Lazarus answered.

“Well he’s not applying the ACA, and he’s not applying immigration laws, and he’s not applying marijuana laws, and he’s not applying mandatory minimums. What’s the difference with election laws?” Gowdy asked.

I just hope the UAW’s ploy in the case of the Alabama plant that wants to throw them out isn’t a trial run for something bigger. Because if we’ve learned one thing from the War on Women it’s that “no means no.” Right?

uaw vote no

Anyway, that’s the funny thing about politics, “no” is never your final answer. That’s why, no matter how many presidential elections we’ve had since 2000, we can never get rid of the Clintons:

bill-clinton-hillary-clinton84455165

Or the whining about Bush’s stolen election,

2014_04-nc-voter-fraud-report

And now, possibly, the WONs.

third term

So remember:

every vote counts

Butt some votes count more than others. Just like Animal Farm.

All Our Balls Are Deflated Around Here

What if you threw a Super Bowl party and the guest of honor refused to come? 

1DE796EF

Possibly because word got out ahead of time that you planned to insult him when he arrived.

belichickHow the Coach reacted to BO’s “deflategate” joke; how he really felt

So I think that’s what happened with Saudi King Salman. I hear he will not be attending Big Guy’s big Camp David summit of Gulf leaders this week; he too cites a “previous engagement.” Just as well; when BO announces that he’s actually giving Iran nuclear weapons to play with in their sandbox, it might have been perceived as a poke in the eye of our ally, King Salman. And then we would have had an international incident on our hands.

Besides, nobody understands the nature and urgency of personal, previous commitments better than Big Guy:

2014-01-02t032020z_758670049_gm1ea120vet01_rtrmadp_3_obama

So that’s fine; go ahead and play through, King. We don’t really expect to accomplish anything at Camp David anyway, given the equipment we’ve got to work with.

subpar-obama-01

And don’t worry, you’ll still get your complimentary boxed set of deflated Obama balls. John Kerry will deliver them personally.

kerry king salmanYeah, I’ve got Barry’s balls right here for you, King!

And he’s got extras for all your other little sandbox friends too.

Because Some Black Lives Matter More Than Others

Lady M gave the commencement address yesterday at Tuskegee University and it included all her usual grace, personal insight, and patriotism.

michelle-obama-ebc8f5380807fd86What the heck!? Did NO ONE realize that this is symbolic of placing a yoke around Lady M’s neck? Or worse?

After opening with her usual obsequiousness:

Now, on this day before Mother’s Day, I’ve got to give a special shout-out to all the moms here.  (Applause.)  Yay, moms! And I want you to consider this as a public service announcement for anyone who hasn’t bought the flowers or the cards or the gifts yet — all right?  I’m trying to cover you.  (Laughter.)  But remember that one rule is “keep mom happy.”  (Laughter.)  All right?  (Applause.)

Michelle Obama Michelle Obama Travels China hrsvspZXK_HlKeep Mama happy, or at least die trying

She moved right along into the  “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia” portion of the commencement address - because as we all know these events are really about Michelle:

And believe me, I understand that kind of pressure.  (Applause.)  I’ve experienced a little bit of it myself.  You see, graduates, I didn’t start out as the fully-formed First Lady who stands before you today.  No, no, I had my share of bumps along the way.

cripes suzette shotH/T Cripes Suzette

Back when my husband first started campaigning for President, folks had all sorts of questions of me:  What kind of First Lady would I be?  What kinds of issues would I take on?  Would I be more like Laura Bush, or Hillary Clinton, or Nancy Reagan?  And the truth is, those same questions would have been posed to any candidate’s spouse.  That’s just the way the process works.  But, as potentially the first African American First Lady, I was also the focus of another set of questions and speculations; conversations sometimes rooted in the fears and misperceptions of others.  Was I too loud, or too angry, or too emasculating?  (Applause.) Or was I too soft, too much of a mom, not enough of a career woman?

She used the opportunity to humanizing herself (in case she wants to run for president “some day”):

But eventually, I realized that if I wanted to keep my sanity and not let others define me, there was only one thing I could do, and that was to have faith in God’s plan for me.  (Applause - or possibly thunder.)  I had to ignore all of the noise and be true to myself — and the rest would work itself out.  (Applause.)

So throughout this journey, I have learned to block everything out and focus on my truth.  I had to answer some basic questions for myself:  Who am I?  No, really, who am I?  What do I care about?

obamas-flash-matching-waves-white-house-correspondents

And the answers to those questions have resulted in the woman who stands before you today.  (Applause.)  A woman who is, first and foremost, a mom. 

mo drink slip dressYo! Mama!

(Applause.)  Look, I love our daughters more than anything in the world, more than life itself. And while that may not be the first thing that some folks want to hear from an Ivy-league educated lawyer, it is truly who I am.  (Applause.)  So for me, being Mom-in-Chief is, and always will be, job number one.

And to establishing her bonafides - in case she decides to run against Hillary:

So I immersed myself in the policy details.  I worked with Congress on legislation, gave speeches to CEOs, military generals and Hollywood executives.  But I also worked to ensure that my efforts would resonate with kids and families — and that meant doing things in a creative and unconventional way.  So, yeah, I planted a garden, and hula-hooped on the White House Lawn with kids.  I did some Mom Dancing on TV.  I celebrated military kids with Kermit the Frog.  I asked folks across the country to wear their alma mater’s T-shirts for College Signing Day

59873954Remember babe, I can kick your flabby privileged white butt any day of the week

All before movingon.org to advance the BHO-ValJar agenda, first by celebrating black lives that actually did matter:

Just think about the arc of this university’s history.  Back in the late 1800s, the school needed a new dormitory, but there was no money to pay for it.  So Booker T. Washington pawned his pocket watch to buy a kiln, and students used their bare hands to make bricks to build that dorm — and a few other buildings along the way.  (Applause.)

A few years later, when George Washington Carver first came here for his research, there was no laboratory.  So he dug through trash piles and collected old bottles, and tea cups, and fruit jars to use in his first experiments.

before pointing out all the awful ways white America worked to keep them down:

Generation after generation, students here have shown that same grit, that same resilience to soar past obstacles and outrages -- past the threat of countryside lynchings; past the humiliation of Jim Crow; past the turmoil of the Civil Rights era. And then they went on to become scientists, engineers, nurses and teachers in communities all across the country -- and continued to lift others up along the way.  (Applause.)

bone-thugs-n-harmony-4fe0fc7fa560d__lightboxAnd Rap Thugs - oh yeah, I can so say that, that’s their name “Bone Thugs”

Odd, given that so many blacks in America have overcome obstacles to emerge prosperous – Lady M, Big Guy and ValJar among them – that these same people spend so much time picking at the scab of racism. First by relating how the Tuskegee Airmen were unfairly treated:

And I’d like to begin today by reflecting on that history — starting back at the time when the Army chose Tuskegee as the site of its airfield and flight school for black pilots.  (Applause.)

Back then, black soldiers faced all kinds of obstacles.  There were the so-called scientific studies that said that black men’s brains were smaller than white men’s.  Official Army reports stated that black soldiers were “childlike,” “shiftless,” “unmoral and untruthful,” and as one quote stated, “if fed, loyal and compliant.”

So while the Airmen selected for this program were actually highly educated — many already had college degrees and pilots licenses — they were presumed to be inferior.  During training, they were often assigned to menial tasks like housekeeping or landscaping.  Many suffered verbal abuse at the hands of their instructors.  When they ventured off base, the white sheriff here in town called them “boy” and ticketed them for the most minor offenses.  And when they finally deployed overseas, white soldiers often wouldn’t even return their salutes.

And then by how she and BO have been abused by white privileged America

We’ve both felt the sting of those daily slights throughout our entire lives -- the folks who crossed the street in fear of their safety; the clerks who kept a close eye on us in all those department stores; the people at formal events who assumed we were the “help” -- and those who have questioned our intelligence, our honesty, even our love of this country.

motorcade martha's vine Good luck crossing the street when the presidential motorcade comes to your town

And I know that these little indignities are obviously nothing compared to what folks across the country are dealing with every single day -- those nagging worries that you’re going to get stopped or pulled over for absolutely no reason; the fear that your job application will be overlooked because of the way your name sounds; the agony of sending your kids to schools that may no longer be separate, but are far from equal; the realization that no matter how far you rise in life, how hard you work to be a good person, a good parent, a good citizen -- for some folks, it will never be enough.  (Applause.) 

There’s more of course, butt I think you catch her drift.

Meanwhile, two more policeman shot dead in cold blood in Mississippi overnight – one white, one black. There will be no riots because, you know, while black lives matter, some black lives matter more than others.

cop lives

That’s right, I said it: some black lives seem to matter more than others around here.
