The March to Oblivion

There are all kinds of stories on the internet telling the story of the absolute depravity and cruelty of ISIS in their unimpeded march across Iraq. The slaughter of the Yazidis on mount Sinjar only being the latest.
While liberal/progressives wring their hands and bleat about the Palestinians and beat their chests over the lack of "compassion" for illegal immigrant unaccompanied minors 30,000 to 40,000 Yazidis cling to a mountain facing death if they stay where they are or descend into the hands ISIS to be butchered or sold into slavery.
All we get from this president and his administration is just more incompetence and malfeasance.

We haven't really won a fighting war since WWII and even then we gave up most of eastern Europe at the Malta conference. Korea was fought to a stand still, Kennedy's promise at the Bay of Pigs went unfulfilled and resulted in a slaughter. Johnson and McNamara continued to draft and send men to Vietnam even though they had no desire to win the war. Jimmy Carter sent numerous "strongly worded" messages to the Mullahs of Iran that were promptly laughed at. Obama stands by while Hamas pounds Israel with rockets and ISIS marches through Iraq raping, beheading and killing at will. The one thing in common with all of these is that they're democrats.

Even if our air support comes to help the Kurd s push back against the IS it's to late for history to look kindly on the dithering of Obama and his cronies who failed to try and stop the genocides that the Islamist extremists are committing in Iraq.
Obama's answer to everything, domestic and foreign, is to stand by and do nothing.

Here's Your Government Healthcare

You know the government could have just contracted to a private insurance company to take care of our veterans and they would be better off in most cases. Because the idea that they created a government agency to control costs is laughable. No government agency can control their costs.

'Pushed Aside Like an Animal': Vet Dies While Unable to Get Care Through VA

There are alarming new reports this week about how difficult it has become for veterans to receive medical care from VA hospitals. Reports indicated at least 40 veterans died while awaiting appointments at the Phoenix VA Medical Center, prompting calls for an investigation and Senate hearings from the state's two senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake.
A former doctor alleges that senior management kept a secret waiting list in order to conceal the fact that 1,400 to 1,600 sick veterans were forced to wait months to see a doctor. ~snip~

The examples of malfeasance, incompetence and bias of government civil "servants" have been plain to see for decades. Yet people still voted for a second term of Obama so he could begin to implement another government program that will punish the American people with ever rising taxes and declining accountability.

Syria and an Echo from the Past

DISH had one of their "free weekends" with HBO and some other movie channel this weekend and one of the movies they showed was "ARGO". Ben Afflecks treatment of the story behind the "Canadian Caper", the rescue of 6 Americans from Iran during the Iranian hostage crisis which lasted for 444 days. ( November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981)

I'd been meaning to watch it for some time but never got around to renting it from Amazon so it was a pleasant surprise to see it offered for free over the weekend.
There seems to be some controversy over several things in the movie from Affleck in the starring role, he's not hispanic don't you know, to the stereotypical portrayal of Iranians in the film.
But there seems to not be a whole lot of discussion about the flaccid response from a spineless democrat in office at the time.
Jimmy Carter.
Lets face it old Jimmy allowed Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini to show the world how impotent and weak he was for 444 days costing him a second term and the election of Ronald Reagan.
Yeah sure he attempted a rescue but it failed costing the lives of 8 servicemen and a couple of aircraft pretty much topping the cake of Carters malfeasance and incompetence.

Why this is important to think about is because we have another milquetoast wannabe in office rattling sabres over Syria. A ideological Carter clone. The difference this time is instead of sitting back and doing nothing Obama wants to strike just enough not to get laughed at, in other words he's looking to simply save face.

The last thing this country needs is to enter another crisis on the world stage with another weak and feckless leader. The history should be plain to anyone with a thinking brain.

On the plus side ARGO did remind me of some of the cool music of the late 70's.

  

Now They Notice?

Where were the media and unions before this trainwreck of a law was forced down our throats?
Now the elite liberal/commie media wants to report on the "unintended consequences" of Obamacare as if these couldn't have been seen before they had to "pass it to see what's in it".

But then again this is exactly the kind of intentional malfeasance we've come to expect from the lapdog liberal/commie media. The fact that so many Americans swallow the left wing propaganda spewed by the democrat owned media is just really sad.
We should demand better.

The Truth about Consequences

As the liberal/commie media continues to beclown themselves by having a snit fit over the George Zimmerman verdict there's a few things that they have left unsaid.
There's not a lot of "news" about the way that they twisted and distorted the truth to create an atmosphere of division for the socialist democrats to exploit during the 2014 elections.

There's a good possibility that NBC will face the consequences for their deliberate, fraudulent out and out lie of deceptive editing of the 911 tape in order to depict Zimmerman as a racist. Because that's what they do....deceive and lie for the benefit of the democrat party.

 LEGAL EXPERTS: ZIMMERMAN SUIT COULD COST NBC 'MILLIONS

If you look at this timeline that lists the objectively terrible media behavior in the early days of the Zimmerman case last year, you will see how crucial NBC's fraudulent editing of a 911 call was in setting a media and political narrative that falsely claimed George Zimmerman is racist. This malicious edit made it look as though Zimmerman was profiling Trayvon Martin as black, when he was simply answering a dispatcher's question:

On the storied "Today Show," NBC News told America Zimmerman said this on the 911 call:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.
When the truth is that the unedited audio actually went like this:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.

Once NBC's fraud was publicly debunked, George Zimmerman filed suit against the network. After his acquittal last week, Zimmerman's attorneys said they will now turn their energies towards NBC. ~snip~

The truth, of course is whatever way the liberal/commie media wants to spin it and all of the mainstream media will be in on it. Don't expect a whole lot of "reporting" from the other liberal/commie news outlets about this lawsuit. It's not something they want to encourage, I mean accountability is something that the liberal/commie media thinks is beneath them.

What's really discouraging in my opinion is that even if they are found guilty of fraud and libel or whatever and rightly have to pay out millions in damages it will hardly make a dent in their credibility for millions of people that consume their tripe.
I wonder how much malfeasance and absolute fraud it will take before Americans start demanding that the media simply tell the truth once in a while.

Common Sense Not Required

Here's the media's incompetence and malfeasence on full display.

KTVU Apology for Friday Noon report

We made several mistakes when we received this information. First, we never read the names out loud, phonetically sounding them out.
Then, during our phone call to the NTSB where the person confirmed the spellings of the names, we never asked that person to give us their position with the agency.
We heard this person verify the information without questioning who they were and then rushed the names on our noon newscast. 

I mean really....wouldn't you think the talking head reading the copy and pronouncing the first name have a light bulb come on and realize they had been had?



First off this is hilarious, second ....I can't believe there are people out there that hang on every word the media spouts off. If this is the kind of stuff we depend on for news then Ho Lee Fuk.

Outrage over IRS's Unchecked Power

Rep. Mike Kelly gives the IRS a piece of Americans minds during Ways and Means committee hearings.

Funny how the IRS doesn't tolerate taxpayer errors at all but tries to invoke lame excuses for their own dereliction and malfeasance.
Again it has to be emphasized that this is the agency that will be responsible for enforcing Obamacare and will extend their tentacles into every aspect of our lives.
