The F.B.I. vs. The F.I.B.

The Bureau vs. the Bureaucra-Blob

"Swamp-Things Gone Wild!"

The decent and fair thing for Comey to do was to tell the nation in public what he often told President Trump in private; that the President was not under investigation.

Instead, he did it Orwell-style with a J. Edgar chaser: instead of remaining silent until an investigation was concluded, he remained silent in case someday an investigation began. All at President Trump's expense.

Comey began his run by clearing the Clinton Crime Family for their Pardon Sales. And ends by clearing the Clinton Crime Family for their National Security e-crimes and Foreign Policy Sales.

Hack. Good riddance.

Paris, Accordingly: Democrats Use the Constitution as Toilet Paper--and Toilet Paper as the Constitution!

Two-Ply Tinhorns and the Butt-Zapping Toilets

 

A couple of wet wipes from the Archives:  Steyn from '09: Gullible eager-beaver planet savers: ‘The environment’ is the most ingenious cover story ever devised for Big Government

"I’m always appreciative when a fellow says what he really means. Tim Flannery, the jet-setting doomsaying global warm-monger from down under, was in Ottawa the other day promoting his latest eco-tract, and offered a few thoughts on “Copenhagen”—which is transnational-speak for December’s UN Convention on Climate Change. “We all too often mistake the nature of those negotiations in Copenhagen,” remarked professor Flannery. “We think of them as being concerned with some sort of environmental treaty. That is far from the case. The negotiations now ongoing toward the Copenhagen agreement are in effect diplomacy at the most profound global level. They deal with every aspect of our life and they will influence every aspect of our life, our economy, our society.”
Hold that thought: “They deal with every aspect of our life.” Did you know every aspect of your life was being negotiated at Copenhagen? But in a good way! So no need to worry. After all, we all care about the environment, don’t we? So we ought to do something about it, right? And, since “the environment” isn’t just in your town or county but spreads across the entire planet, we can only really do something at the planetary level. But what to do? According to paragraph 38 on page 18 of the latest negotiating text, the convention will set up a “government” to manage the “new funds” and the “related facilitative processes.”
Tim Flannery’s disarmingly honest characterization passed almost without notice, reported as far as I can tell only by Brian Lilley of CFRB Toronto and CJAD Montreal. But professor Flannery has it right. Government transport policy is about transport, and government education policy is about education, but environmental policy is about everything, because everything’s part of “the environment”: your town, your county, your planet—and you. “We are the environment. There is no distinction,” declared another renowned expert, David Suzuki, last year. And just as the government now monitors air and water quality so it’s increasingly happy to regulate your quality.
In the name of “the environment,” the state gets to regulate everything you do. The cap-and-trade bill recently passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, for example, is a bold assault on property rights: in order to sell your home—whether built in 2006 or 1772—you would have to bring it into compliance with whimsical, eternally evolving national “energy efficiency” standards, starting with a 50 per cent reduction in energy use by 2018. Fail to do so and it would be illegal for you to enter into a private contract with a willing buyer.

Hey, but who would ever find out?
Don’t be so sure. In 2006, to comply with the “European Landfill Directive,” various municipal councils in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland introduced “smart” trash cans—“wheelie bins” with a penny-sized electronic chip embedded within that helpfully monitors and records your garbage as it’s tossed into the truck. Once upon a time, you had to be a double-0 agent with Her Majesty’s Secret Service to be able to install that level of high-tech spy gadgetry. But now any old low-level apparatchik from the municipal council can do it, all in the cause of a sustainable planet. So where’s the harm?
And once Big Brother’s in your trash can, why stop there? Our wheelie-bin sensors are detecting an awful lot of junk-food packaging in your garbage. Maybe you should be eating healthier. In Tokyo, Matsushita engineers have created a “smart toilet”: you sit down, and the seat sends a mild electric charge through your bottom that calculates your body/fat ratio, and then transmits the information to your doctors. Japan has a fast-aging population imposing unsustainable costs on its health system, so the state has an interest in tracking your looming health problems, and nipping them in the butt. In England, meanwhile, Twyford’s, whose founder invented the modern ceramic toilet in the 19th century, has developed an advanced model—the VIP (Versatile Interactive Pan)—that examines your urine and stools for medical problems and dietary content: if you’re not getting enough roughage, it automatically sends a signal to the nearest supermarket requesting a delivery of beans. All you have to do is sit there as your VIP toilet orders à la carte and prescribes your medication.
But think of the environmental benefits: readers may recall Sheryl Crow’s brief campaign to get people to use only one sheet of toilet paper (I recommended an all-star consciousness-raising single—“All we are saying is give one piece a chance”). Last month, the Washington Post reported a new front in this war. Two-ply bathroom tissue, according to Allen Hershkowitz of the Natural Resources Defense Council, “is the Hummer of the paper industry.” Oh, and blame Canada, as that’s where most American two-ply comes from: this decadent Dominion is apparently the House of Saud of toilet paper. In Britain, where closed-circuit cameras monitor you to check you’re not eating a sandwich while driving, is it such a stretch to foresee those toilet sensors that wire your stool analysis to the government health centre also snitching on your two-ply Cottonelle? Or perhaps, if it’s a Matsushita toilet, a few extra volts from the buttock-zapper will be enough of a warning.
“The environment” is the most ingenious cover story for Big Government ever devised. You float a rumour that George W. Bush is checking up on what library books you’re reading, and everyone goes bananas. But announce that a government monitoring device has been placed in every citizen’s trash can in the cause of “saving the planet,” and the world loves you.
In 1785, the British philosopher Jeremy Bentham began working on his famous “Pan-opticon”—a radial prison in which a central “inspector” could see all the prisoners, but they could never see him. In the computer age, we now have not merely panopticon buildings, but panopticon societies, like modern London—and soon perhaps, excepting a few redoubts such as Waziristan and the livelier precincts of the Horn of Africa, a panopticon planet.
Yet high-tech statism still needs an overarching narrative. In the new school of panoptic fiction—such as John Twelve Hawks’s recently completed Fourth Realm trilogy—the justification for round-the-clock surveillance is usually “security.” But the “security state” is a tough sell: if you tell people the government is compiling data on them for national security purposes, the left instinctively recoils. But, if you explain that you’re doing it to “lower emissions,” starry-eyed coeds across the land will coo their approval. And the middle-class masochists of the developed world will whimper in orgasmic ecstasy as you tighten the screws, pausing only to demand that you do it to them harder and faster.
Consider a recent British plan for each citizen to be given an official travel allowance. If you take one flight a year, you’ll pay just the standard amount of tax on the journey. But, if you travel more frequently, if you take a second or third flight, you’ll be subject to additional levies—all in the interest of saving the planet for Al Gore’s polar bear documentaries and that carbon-offset palace he lives in in Tennessee. The Soviets restricted freedom of movement through the bureaucratic apparatus of “exit visas.” The British favoured the bureaucratic apparatus of exit taxes: the movement’s still free; it’s just that there’ll be a government processing fee of £412.95. And, in a revealing glimpse of the universal belief in enviro-statism, this proposal came not from Gordon Brown’s Labour Party but from the allegedly Conservative Party.
At their Monday night poker game in hell, I’ll bet Stalin, Hitler and Mao are kicking themselves: “ ‘It’s about leaving a better planet to our children?’ Why didn’t I think of that?” This is Two-Ply Totalitarianism—no jackboots, no goose steps, just soft and gentle all the way. Nevertheless, occasionally the mask drops and the totalitarian underpinnings become explicit. Take Elizabeth May’s latest promotional poster: “Your parents f*cked up the planet. It’s time to do something about it. Live Green. Vote Green.” As Saskatchewan blogger Kate McMillan pointed out, the tactic of “convincing youth to reject their parents in favour of The Party” is a time-honoured tradition.
The problem, alas, is that, for the moment, there’s still more than one party. But why? Last year, David Suzuki suggested that denialist politicians should be thrown in jail. And only last month the New York Times’s Great Thinker Thomas Friedman channelled his inner Walter Duranty and decided that democracy has f*cked up the planet. Why, in Beijing, where they don’t have that disadvantage, they banned the environmentally destructive plastic bag! In one day! Just like that! “One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks,” wrote Friedman. “But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century.”
Forward to where?
Well, fortunately the Copenhagen convention’s embryo “government” appears immune to such outmoded concepts as democratic accountability.
Don’t take my word. Listen to what the activists are saying: it’s about every aspect of your life.
PS: Just to be safe, after reading this column, tear into pieces and flush down your toilet.
Oh, no, wait, don’t…".......

I Saw the Butt-Zapping Toilets open For Big Brother and the Holding Company at the Fillmore in '70.  They blew them off the stage.

Also from our Archives, a Perfectly-Post-Modern James Lileks reviews the Toilets' latest album:

"Mr. Whipple, as I’m sure you’ve heard, has died. He appeared in over 400 commercials as the fellow who tried to impose rules he himself could not follow, and thereby revealed not only the essential hypocrisy of the puritan impulse, but the uselessness of imposing any sort of “standards” on human behavior. That he himself was rebuked for failing to stay his own desire to squeeze, some say, was proof of a Natural Law above Whipple and the society he represented, but this was seen quite correctly by critics as a reflexive sop tossed to the reactionaries, a way of undercutting the existential truths Whipple’s failings represented. In a society without meaning or purpose, is there anything more absurd that setting up the petty bourgeois rules that keep people from applying manual pressure to Charmin in a public setting? Here,  the reactionaries pounce: Whipple did not oppose squeezing; he merely attempted to establish some sort of public standard. But the personal is the public; how can the act of squeezing be acceptable in the personal realm and transgressive in the public sphere?

Whipple himself summed up the absurdity:

"Inherent in his command is the assumption that the person has a home, which is a way of preferencing the currently-domiciled and excluding the non-housed, establishing them as an “other” whose desires must be denied, not merely moved behind the fiction of “private” property. If one cannot squeeze at home because one has no home, then the act of squeezing in a grocery store becomes more than personal gratification; it recontextualizes both the act and the concept of property. By squeezing the Charmin in the grocery store, the non-housed asserts a claim to the public realm, not just for herself, but for all."

Hence, of course, the necessity of Whipple’s edict, and the threat of banishment that put the steel in his peevish irritation.

Could it be said that the land in which all were free to let their Squeeze Flag Fly was, indeed, a forbidden planet? Obviously; the message was quite clearly by using the robot from the movie with the same name, a move that had the extra effect of suggesting that the working class could be replaced at a whim with machinery:

Of course, there’s another message, perhaps aimed at the Inner Party: Whipple himself could be replaced. He may have come to embody the message for the proles, but he was expendable as well. It is rare that the Establishment laid things out with such ruthless clarity; usually the messenger had the unassailable authority of the message itself – right up until the moment when he went down the memory hole – but such was the confidence of the Establishment that Whipple himself could be held up as an object of

THANK YOU, TENURE GRANTED. NEXT".......

Twenty years ago, the Senate unanimously rejected the Kyoto Treaty for the very reasons President Trump outlined the other day. And as Steyn noted, we would have long ago enacted the monstrosity known as Al Gore's Cap and Trade Pyramid Scheme were it not for the Senate (and their fear of being fired by the voters).

Some of the DC Dinosaurs who voted against Kyoto then now applaud Obama's One-Man Treaty, which is a Constitutional Aberration on the order of, say, having Chief Justice John Roberts order the 173rd Airborne to invade St. Tropez--a naked power-grab!

Even worse was the One-Man Iran Treaty, in which Obama bypassed ratification in the United States Senate in favor of ratification by his homeys in the Iranian Senate and the UN Security Council.

Yet there was not a peep from our vaunted Guardians of Democracy(tm)-Press Corps. They supported their Boyfriend (BOTUS) without question, in true toady mode. And since they supported the policies, they didn't care if the policies were achieved legitimately or by malicious presidential fiat and diktat.

And, yes, I saw Fiat & Diktat open for Loggins & Messina at the Sports Arena in '78. Good times, good times.

Obama simply called treaties by another name to avoid the Constitution--and his Leg-Humping Media Lackeys let him.

Imagine if President Trump announced a One-Man Treaty with Russia. Do you think the Professional Liar-Media would suddenly remember that Treaties are supposed to be ratified in the Senate? Maybe after their heads exploded.

Or just suppose that Obama had never imposed his illegal Iran Treaty on America. Now suppose President Trump proposed it today.

All the Democrats who helped Obama arm the Mullahs would suddenly be screaming "TREASON!" at the top of their lungs. But the treason is theirs.

America isn't pulling out of the Paris Treaty. America never joined the Treaty. Barack Obama did. And Trump is undoing Obama's illegal power grab.

But, as the President noted, the LegalBlob is working overtime. Not just to wrest Trump's legitimate role in the Treaty Power away from him, but to permanently impose on America the supposedly "non-binding" provisions of the Treaty.

 As Janis said, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to wipe."

I quote from memory. Alexander Hamilton's.

"BOOM!"

 

Normandy at 73

My Whole Life Has Been Lived in the Shadow of These Giants

Normandy 2017

"My fellow Americans: Last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:

 Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity. Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith. They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom. And for us at home - fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas - whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them - help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice. Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts. Give us strength, too - strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces. And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be. And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose. With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.

Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen."--Pres. Franklin Roosevelt, June 6, 1944

Lived in their shadows--but not in the shade:

"Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire.


Into the Storm and Up to the Heights

Arromanches

The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.








But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”"--Prime Minister Winston Churchill, June 18, 1940

Honor

The Good News

Philippians 4:6–7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We thank You Heavenly Father that You are true to Your Word! We cast all our cares upon You, Lord Jesus and receive Your Shalom Peace. In Your Name Christ Jesus we pray, Amen and Amen!

Gutless Senate Wouldn't Vote on Climate Treaty: "We're Not Risking Our Jobs--Only Yours!"

Profiles in Cowardice

The CEO's, politicians and movie stars are all walking clichés.  They lecture us on Warming from the energy-sucking comfort of private jets and mega-mansions. They can all shut their pie-holes until they walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

Just as runaway regulations are a gutless, unlegislated hidden tax, so was the Paris Accord. The only thing politicians love more than a tax, is a tax they didn't have to vote on. Similarly, the only thing they love more than a international Treaty that fleeces America is a Treaty they didn't have the guts to bring up for a vote. A Two/Thirds vote, required by the Constitution.

Senators, who now won't sit down and shut up, wouldn't stand up and speak out when it was their turn. They didn't want to take the heat.

So just like the treasonous Iran Deal, they had Obama legislate a One-Man Climate Treaty by simply changing the word "Treaty" to "Accord".

They didn't want to vote on a Treaty--it might cost them their jobs!

They're perfectly willing to give away your job--but not theirs!

But suddenly they're Heroic Heroes Who Will Not Be Silenced(tm)?

Mitch McConnell should schedule a vote on the Paris Treaty. Let's see how many of these heroes vote for it.

They blather about America being alone--but they loved it when Obama decided alone, shutting out all other Americans from their rightful say.

Nor do these Gutless Cowards want a light shined on their Cockroach Parade. Like Obama's other One-Man Treaty with the Mullahs of Iran, you are not permitted to know all the secret side deals of the Climate Sell-Out.

The Mullahs know. The U.N. Bureaucrats know. The Europeans know. But Americans are not permitted to know.

Obama trusts the Mullahs. He trusts the UN. He trusts European Socialists. But he doesn't trust you.

Think about that; Obama finds the World's Number One State Sponsor of Terrorism more trustworthy than you.

But Alexander Hamilton doesn't trust him:

"It would be utterly unsafe and improper to entrust Treaty power to an elective magistrate of four years' duration. An avaricious man might be tempted to betray the interests of the state to the acquisition of wealth. An ambitious man might make his own aggrandizement, by the aid of a foreign power, the price of his treachery to his constituents. The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise in a nation to commit interests of so delicate and momentous a kind, as those which concern its intercourse with the rest of the world, to the sole disposal of a President of the United States."--Alexander Hamilton arguing for the Constitution to his fellow citizens in the newspapers, the internet of his day, in Federalist #75

The whole gist of our Constitution is to divide power to keep government limited--in order to protect your freedom. Obama and his henchmen believe in Unlimited Government and their own Undivided Power. Your freedom is their obstacle.

Need, not Greed

 Care, not Snares

Hot Air:

"The state of Ohio has sued five major drug makers charging they oversold the benefits and undersold the risks of their opioid painkillers that have become a major epidemic in many states across the country.
The suit was filed by Ohio’s Republican Attorney General Mike DeWine, a former Ohio state senator, a former House member from Ohio, a former lieutenant governor in Ohio and a former U.S. senator from Ohio.
It might be a coincidence that last week DeWine announced his candidacy to succeed term-limited John Kasich and become the next governor of Ohio in 2018.
One of the benefits of elections in America, besides providing untold millions in ad revenues to local TV stations, is that candidates have an incentive to profess attention to issues of pressing public concern. Few contemporary issues have more pressing concerns than opioid addiction and deaths.".......

I don't care if DeWine's running for governor. I'm not usually sympathetic to these lawsuits, but the industry went way beyond patient care into patient abuse.

If we wanted unbridled greed, we've already got the Clintons.

Good for Atty. Gen. DeWine.

Thanks, President Trump! We'll Always Have Paris

Hilton

President Trump: "As President, I can put no other consideration before the wellbeing of American citizens.  The Paris Climate Accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers -- who I love -- and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production.
Thus, as of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country.
This agreement is less about the climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States.  The rest of the world applauded when we signed the Paris Agreement -- they went wild; they were so happy -- for the simple reason that it put our country, the United States of America, which we all love, at a very, very big economic disadvantage.
Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree -- think of that; this much -- Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100.  Tiny, tiny amount.  In fact, 14 days of carbon emissions from China alone would wipe out the gains from America -- and this is an incredible statistic -- would totally wipe out the gains from America's expected reductions in the year 2030, after we have had to spend billions and billions of dollars, lost jobs, closed factories, and suffered much higher energy costs for our businesses and for our homes.
The real reason why foreign lobbyists wish to keep our magnificent country tied up and bound down by this agreement:  It’s to give their country an economic edge over the United States.  That's not going to happen while I’m President.
In 2015, the Green Climate Fund’s executive director reportedly stated that estimated funding needed would increase to $450 billion per year after 2020.  And nobody even knows where the money is going to.  Nobody has been able to say, where is it going to? 
 Foreign leaders in Europe, Asia, and across the world should not have more to say with respect to the U.S. economy than our own citizens and their elected representatives.  Thus, our withdrawal from the agreement represents a reassertion of America’s sovereignty.  (Applause.)  Our Constitution is unique among all the nations of the world, and it is my highest obligation and greatest honor to protect it.  And I will.".......

And Now, Some Highly Scientific Yet Random Anthropological Observations of the Hysterical & Superstitious Weather Cult, Observed Behaving Badly in their Own Natural Settings, albeit with Other People's Money

Only last summer, Obama was in Hawaii, enacting another One-Man Diktat,
a Top-Down Decree which ignored the American Constitution, the wishes of Hawaiians
and knee-capped the local fishing industry. It's habitual. 

Leave aside Al Gore's Fantasy Ideology that classifies the air we exhale as an industrial pollutant. And the deep delusion that we can control the weather a century from now.

This was just a giant Welfare Program. This Exit isn't environmental policy--it's welfare reform. We are kicking the International Welfare Bums off the rolls, and they don't like it.

It's so deeply demented that it would require us to borrow money from China to give money to China. Talk about your self-licking ice cream cone. This is also money that could be spent on real, actual pollution clean-up.

Feather the booby's nest, not the Blob's nest

This bird was full of plastic from the ocean. We could mount a real campaign to rid the oceans of this real, tangible pollution--but instead we're pumping billions, even trillions, down bureaucratic rat holes, wasting national fortunes on pure fantasy.

There's a reason this Treaty couldn't pass even when Obama had 60 votes in the Senate. It's all about poseurs, crony capitalists and Blob-o-Crats.

President Trump just transferred massive amounts of power and money away from foreign bureaucrats, slimy lawyers, dirt-worshipping extremists and Socialist Statists in Europe and Washington DC, and handed it back to its proper owners: your States, your communities, your businesses and you.

And that's why they're madder than two-dollar whores in a fifty-cent town.

As Charles Payne noticed, the "Accord" (aka "illegal One-Man Treaty") requires us to pay Third World regimes and their henchmen to keep their own struggling citizens in a state of poverty, so as not to offend Gaia. Rich people in the West are perfectly content to force the pesky brown citizens of Mud-Hutistan to remain in Third-World Petting Zoos, just to assuage their own moral vanity and preen at their dinner parties. Especially when they are getting a cut.

If Miami is indeed sinking, that's all the more reason not to pour our precious resources down this Fantasy Climate Rat Hole for the $elf-esteem of climate poseurs. HIRE AN ENGINEER INSTEAD.

Crony Capitalist Elon Musk is leaving as Trump advisor. There are so many good things about the Trumpulus Climate Deal, it's hard to list them all. But telling crony capitalists that they can't charge tax-payers $200 for $100-worth of "green" energy anymore is one of them.

As a former senator, Jean Claude Kerry knows that this One-Man Treaty was an illegal diktat to begin with. The sort of a Jenjis Khan-deal that the Constitution was meant to prevent.

As Mike Dukakis' Lt. Governor, Kerry should confine himself to checking Willie Horton's cell to make sure he's comfortable.

Billionaire fanatic Tom Steyer: "Trump will be committing a traitorous act of war against the American people."

That describes perfectly not the withdrawal from the Paris Accord, but anther One-Man Treaty:

Obama's Pre-Emptive Surrender and Back-Channel Nuclear Collusion with the Ayatollah.

Traitor, at heart and in deed.

Enough of that evil clown.

At long last; we've finally got a real American President, one who is fighting for us for a change.

 

"Hooray!"

Bribe Me-Granny Rides Again

Twisting Slowly in the Wind

She was so scary yesterday, that they dragged her out for another interview to repair the damage. But she spoke one sentence about not being the perfect candidate and then went right back into the Vast Putin/Comey Collusion Conspiracy.

"I would have won except for the Macedonians. Also, bullfrogs kept me up at night. And the strawberries. Always the strawberries. And Chapppaqua Municipal Waste raised their recycling fees from $!2.50 to $!5.00! I think the Mercers, ClearChannel and the GRU were behind it!"

If we had a real media, maybe they could ask how ALL her DNC emails got hacked--but absolutely NONE of the top top top-secret Special Access emails on her private server got hacked. She didn't even had Norton Anti-Virus on it.

I said "If".

Ya know, Trump should announce he's going to start using a private server, since it's so darn safe and perfectly legal.

Then he should say he's considering selling Putin an additional 20% of our uranium.

And while he's considering it, he should send Kushner to Moscow to give a half-million dollar speech to Russian bankers for the Trump Foundation.

It's all completely innocent.

Right?

Goldman Sach's Venezuelan Blood Money and Boeing's Dirty Iran Deal: Is Money Everything?

Really? Everything?

In the sack with Sachs: the fat-ass bus-driver billionaire buys more bullets with Goldman's help

Fausta reports:

 

Venezuela: Goldman Sachs bought PDVSA bonds

$2.8 billion worth:

(WSJ) The New York-based bank’s asset management division last week paid 31 cents on the dollar, or about $865 million, for bonds issued by state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA in 2014, which mature in 2022, according to five people familiar with the transaction. The price represents a 31% discount on the trading Venezuelan securities maturing the same year.
The investment comes as Mr. Maduro’s detractors lobby hard to block Western financial institutions from doing transactions that support the cash-strapped government, which has been accused by the U.S. and other countries of widespread rights abuses.

Apparently GS is betting that a change in government would double the bonds’ value.

Good luck with that.

This move is peanuts in GS’s $40 billion emerging markets amount out of the $1.3 trillion the asset management branch manages, but Frank Muci at Caracas Chronicles calls it Meth Finance: “It’s like ripping out the electric wiring from the walls of your own house to sell the copper and get your next crystal meth fix.”

As long as someone is willing to be part of the debt pyramid scheme, it’ll continue. Let’s hope it’s not the U.S.".......

 

Goldman has also helped prop up the Commies in Ecuador. I don't even want to know what they do in Cuba.

 

Big corporations help rotten regimes all the time. Facebook helps Pakistan $ilence di$$enters. Everybody does business with China. Exxon Inc. works deals in Russia while Clinton Inc. sells them our uranium and technology. Boeing is trying to sell aircraft to Iran, to be purchased with the ransom money Obama lavished on them. Or better yet, they'll buy on Ex-Im credit and the U.S. taxpayers will be on the hook when they default with the airplanes.

"a Boeing representative shaking hands with Alaei, who has been identified by Congress as a "prominent and longtime member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," which is responsible for killing and wounding scores of U.S. troops."



Just like Boeing, this soldier also met with Iran, in the form of Iranian I.E.D.s

But this is a gratuitous money-grubbing gut-punch to the people of Venezuela. Goldman Sachs is financing their repression.

 

FOX: "It is apparent Goldman Sachs decided to make a quick buck off the suffering of the Venezuelan people," Julio Borges, head of Venezuela's opposition-controlled congress, said in a public letter to the New York bank's chief executive, Lloyd Blankfein. "I also intend to recommend to any future democratic government of Venezuela not to recognize or pay on these bonds." 

Good. Blood money is risky business, no?

 

They may just be pesky little brown people to you, Goldman, but they deserve to be free, too.

 

And so do Iranians, Boeing--despite Barky's lapdog subservience to the Mullahs. Boeing, once an American aviation icon, now just another amoral cabal?  

 

Shame. $hame on you all.

List of Leakers, Leaks of Listers

Thanks, Obama!

Patriot Post: "The impression created by the media is that Trump is so inherently incompetent that members of his own staff are doing the leaking. The image is one of utter chaos in the West Wing. In reality, many of the leaks are likely coming from political appointees of Barack Obama who remain in the White House. In the waning days of his presidency, Obama transferred these political appointees to civil servant status in order to make it harder for them to be terminated by the incoming president.

As The Daily Signal revealed last December, “After President Barack Obama exits office, at least 88 of his political appointees will likely remain working in the federal government under a Donald Trump administration, according to numbers from the Office of Personnel Management.”

Remember when Mitt said Russia was the biggest threat and Obama said it was al Qaeda?

They were both wrong.

One More Night, One More Day

Memorial Day 2017

"There they now stood, side by side...with arms in their hands, silent and fearless, willing to shed their blood for their rights...John Parker, the strongest and best wrestler in Lexington, had promised never to run from the British troops; and he kept his vow. A wound brought him on his knees. Having discharged his gun, he was preparing to load it again, when he was stabbed by a bayonet, and lay on the post which he took at the morning's drumbeat..."--Historian George Bancroft, founder of the Naval Academy, on the Battle of Lexington Green, where 70-some Minute Men faced 700 British Regulars, Apr. 19, 1775.

Meet Your Son

One More Night

Fallen U.S. Marine 2nd Lt. James Cathey and his wife Katherine with their unborn son.

Their story through Todd Heisler's Pulitzer photographs is told here.

And now "the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans" again. These are the New Centurions, the giants who make our Age possible.

Thank you, Lt. Cathey and Mrs. Cathey. Thank you, our patriots, our brothers and our sisters, on behalf of a grateful nation...and a grateful me.
