How America armed terrorists in Syria (and ISIS)

July 10, 2017 by Jeff (ILoveCapitalism)

I recommend Gareth Porter’s June 22 article on The American Conservative, How America Armed Terrorists in Syria. It tells a story that I already knew (at a high level) – supported by a wealth of details that I didn’t.

In the rest of this post, I’ll share my notes on that and some other articles, re-telling the story with many fewer details. But it will still be a long post. First, a couple of things to keep in mind:

OMG!

  • After famously lying to the American people about what happened in Benghazi, and spying on Obama’s domestic opponents, Susan Rice now suggests (while pretending to be above suggesting it) that people criticize her just because they’re racists and sexists.

    OMG!

  • Even CNN left-wing kook, Van Jones, will tell you privately that Trumprussia is a “nothingburger”.

    OMG!

  • A new study shows that Seattle’s $15 minimum wage is costing jobs.

    …boosting pay in low-wage jobs by about 3 percent since 2014 but also resulting in a 9 percent reduction in hours worked in such jobs. That resulted in a 6 percent drop in what employers collectively pay…

    The report also estimated that there are about 5,000 fewer low-wage jobs in the city than there would have been without the law.

    Yet lefties still support these job-destroying, business-destroying, income-destroying laws.

    OMG!

  • The Federal Reserve’s chair, Janet Yellen, says that we won’t see another financial crisis in our lifetimes.

    OMG! Famous last words?


On a fun note…Milo had a Coming Out Conservative event in New York.

I’m sure GP readers can relate to idea that nowadays, it is MUCH harder to come out as conservative than as gay.

It’s another great day

May 7, 2017 by Jeff (ILoveCapitalism)

…because the sun is shining, most of us still have our health and families, and Hillary isn’t President.

No one combines Corruption, Socialism, Cronyism and Shrillness like her. Imagine if that harpy were ranting at you every day from the White House about why we need to expand Obamacare, have ground troops in Syria, shut down the alt-media, end the 2nd Amendment, etc. With her ill-calculated faux-sincerity.

UPDATE: Judicial Watch is still on the Benghazi and “Clinton e-mail” scandals. They’re not over. More e-mails are still being uncovered. Hillary should still be prosecuted, and FBI Director Comey’s misreading or mis-application of the law (in giving her a pass) is still crony-istic and astounding.

For the record: YES, Hillary is a criminal

July 8, 2016 by Jeff (ILoveCapitalism)

…who sought-and-received such special treatment that now, in her own person, she embodies the most corrupt, disgraceful and dangerous aspects of American political life.

Allen B. West gives a summary:

…here’s what FBI Director Comey said regarding Hillary Clinton and this email server episode:

  • He concluded Hillary was “extremely careless” in handling our nation’s secrets.
  • He admitted no reasonable person could have believed putting these emails on a private server was at all appropriate or acceptable.
  • He admitted 110 emails on the server were classified at the time they were sent — showing Hillary not only lied, but knowingly endangered national security as secretary of state.
  • He admitted Hillary deleted work-related emails before turning them over to the State Department, despite her claims otherwise.
  • And, most shocking, Mr. Comey even admitted it’s likely foreign governments hacked her emails — and our adversaries could know critical secrets about the U.S. government because of Hillary’s actions.

[…]
Consider that just last week, there was a secret, private meeting between former President Bill Clinton and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch…Over the weekend, quietly, Hillary Clinton visited FBI headquarters and then came out to give an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd — who stated he had inside information there would be no charges. Then…Director Comey announces a press conference — as the pre-flight checks were being conducted on Air Force One, preparing to fly President Obama and Hillary Clinton on a campaign ride to North Carolina…Comey announces no charges, and Air Force One takes off. Barack Obama is flying, on taxpayer dollar, not with someone under criminal investigation — but a recently-exonerated Hillary Clinton. This, Ladies and Gents, is the “policy of political corruption” on full display.
[…]
When Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton stood together on that stage [in North Carolina last weekend], you saw two people who abandoned Americans to die and lied about it.

In short, and even if we leave aside the Benghazi deaths, Hillary Clinton is 100% guilty of crimes of negligence – and obstruction of justice (lying to prevent investigation). She was given a giant pass, for no reason except politics.

David Petraeus, convicted.  Scooter Libby, convicted.  Youtube filmmaker, jailed.  Edward Snowden, charged.  Hillary Clinton, Democratic nominee for President.

RELATED:

  • 6 criminal laws that the Obama administration nullified for Hillary.
  • 5 people who were prosecuted under those laws. Because, you know, they weren’t Bill or Hillary.
  • Speaker Ryan has asked, rightly, that Hillary not receive classified info for the rest of the election campaign.
  • Comey admits that he never bothered to interview Hillary under oath or recording.

UPDATES:

  • Via Powerline, video of Comey admitting to Congress that the FBI had found that Hillary repeatedly lied to them.
  • Did Hillary & associates illegally steal classified information and damage U.S. national security? Yes.

Obama Watch

November 10, 2014 by Jeff (ILoveCapitalism)

Courtesy of ZH, a picture is worth a thousand words:

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping stand together – away from President Obama.

Other news: Jonathan Gruber, Obamacare’s architect, brags about voter “stupidity” (his word) and how excellently he exploited it:

The conservative group American Commitment posted Jonathan Gruber’s remarks, reportedly from an Oct. 17, 2013, event, on YouTube.

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” says the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Ed Morrissey’s piece gives you the video, and Ed adds:

Gruber goes a little farther than that. He tells the crowd that the bill was written to fake out the CBO — which is the Congress’ own analytical group. “This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes,” Gruber tells the audience with a smile. “If CBO scores the mandate as taxes, the bill dies.”…

Democrats insisted that CBO’s initial scoring showed that the bill was deficit-neutral in its first ten years, thanks to…dodges like trawling revenue before making outlays a few years later. How much else did Democrats lie to get that initially positive scoring? How much else are Democrats still hiding about the ACA and the HHS implementation of it?

And now HHS tells us that they’re projecting Obamacare’s 2015 enrollment to be kind of a failure.

Last, but not least: Yes, the media helped Obama cover up his flailing on Benghazi.

The day after the Benghazi attack, Obama gave an interview to Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes (CBS) where he pointedly refused to call the attack terrorism. But later, in a debate with Mitt Romney, Obama claimed that he had always been prompt in calling it terrorism. Obama spoke falsely. And CBS helped him, by hiding the relevant interview clip – until after the election.

UPDATE: A report that when Democrat senators need to know White House plans or positions, they ask MSNBC. (Which shows Obama’s isolation, as well as MSNBC’s deep subservience to the White House.) Via Citizens News.

Eleanor Clift Brings Teh Dumb

May 14, 2014 by V the K

Lifelong Hillary supporter Eleanor Rodham Clift (a Democrat pundit who has grown older but not wiser) has been rightly ridiculed for comparing the Benghazi Terror Attack to a housefire, and saying that Ambassador Stevens wasn’t murdered but “died of smoke inhalation.”

That’s like saying JFK died of blood loss following a head injury.

She’s not backing down from her stupidity.

The Left continues to mock Benghazi as a phony scandal, which it is, provided all of the following things are true:

  • The attack really was because of a YouTube video, so the administration didn’t lie about that.
  • The Benghazi consulate got all the additional security they requested from Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
  • The Obama Administration swung into action and did everything possible to save the victims when the attack was underway.
  • The CIA personnel on the ground in Benghazi were demonstrably not involved in any covert activity involving the transfer of weapons among terror groups.

As long as all four of those things are true, then the left is correct in calling Benghazi a phony scandal.

Update: Below the fold, Trey Gowdy takes on Democrat criticisms that Benghazi is being politicized by shoving it right back into their smug, snotty faces.

Democrat Benghazi Hysteria

May 7, 2014 by V the K

The Democrats are really, really upset that the Party of Opposition is trying to get to the truth of the events of 11 September 2012 in which four Americans were brutally killed by Islamic terrorists, the Obama Administration refused to send help while they were under attack, and subsequently lied about what happened.

  • Democrat Leaders Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer have denounced the inquiry as “disrespectful and unworthy of the American people.”
  • A Democrat Representative from Missouri thinks the deaths of four Americans is a joke.
  • And, of course, a Democrat from South Carolina says the Republicans are running a “lynching.”
  • DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schulz angrily denounces the investigation as an Election Year stunt (unlike the Democrats’ attacks on the Koch Brothers or their constant shrieks of ‘racism.’)
  • A Democrat candidate for Congress in Mississippi makes a very classy Benghazi Masturbation joke.

Harry Reid will weigh in as soon as he finds a way to blame Benghazi on the Koch Brothers.

They aren’t happy about this. They definitely don’t want to Republicans looking into this. If this is, as Democrats claim, “a phony scandal,” why all the screeching and obstruction? If Obama and Hillary did everything right on Benghazi, and never lied about any of it … then turning over all their documents and fully cooperating would prove it.

Am I right?

Will Republicans Ask the Right Questions About Benghazi?

May 5, 2014 by V the K

After almost two years (dude), Republicans are finally convening a Select Committee to investigate the events of 11 September 2012 in Benghazi; when four Americans died and the next day the President went to a party in Las Vegas.

It would be a bad idea for the Republicans to focus too much on who wrote the talking points blaming the attack on a YouTube video. Even the die-hard Obama Cultists know that the Administration blamed the YouTube video because admitting that Americans had been killed in a terrorist attack less than a month before the Elections would have looked bad for the President. (They know this is true, even if they won’t admit it. And they are not in the least troubled by it. It’s OK when their politicians lie.)

But the real stinging question – a question the administration successfully evades by playing up the talking points – is the question of why no help was sent to the Benghazi consulate when it was under attack. The terrorist attack lasted nearly eight hours, and the consulate issued repeated calls for help that went unanswered. Military assets in the region that could have helped rescue them went unused.

“Why were those people left to die?” is a much more profound question than “Which bureaucrat decided to blame the attack on a YouTube video?” We already know Obama is a liar.

The Wisdom of Pick-Up Trucks

May 4, 2014 by V the K

A Democrat Congressman from California is saying that Democrats will refuse to participate in the Special Committee to Investigate Benghazi, calling it “a colossal waste of time.” And by “colossal waste of time,” he means, “potentially embarrassing to both our current president and our 2016 front-runner should the public ever get wind of what a massive clusterfrak of lies and incompetence the Benghazi incident really is.”

For What It’s Worth, She’s Sorry

January 28, 2014 by V the K

Mrs. Clinton announces in a paid forum, responding to a question from a car salesman, with no opportunity for follow-up questions… says that what happened in Benghazi is “her biggest regret.”

When I think about my own regrets, they’re like… not working harder in high school, not going to a different college, not hooking up with the tall redhead senior year. None of my regrets involve leaving four people to die in a terrorist attack and then lying about it.

So, there’s that.

Ever wonder where Mrs. Clinton would be without Mr. Clinton? Obviously, she never would have been a senator or secretary of state without his coat-tails. (Anymore than George W. Bush ever would have president had he not won the genetic Powerball.) Maybe chair of a Womyn’s Studies department somewhere.
