It’s Monday, March 7th, 2016…but before we begin, a brief thought on the actual odds of Hillary ever being charged, let alone serving time for her obvious email illegalities.
Forget all the spin and obfuscation from The Left; the WSJ is right: Hillary ought to hang. Okay, the Journal didn’t put it so provocatively; we proposed the imposition of the ultimate penalty for her treasonous transgressions. Face it; even if she didn’t heedlessly sacrifice four lives in Benghazi (which she most definitelydid!), Hillary surely gave up actionable intelligence which far more likely than not cost real lives in real time through her gross dereliction of duty. And yes, “The Left” includes in this instance not only Hillary’s camp and their MSM apologists, but anyone too ignorant, uninformed or partisan to grasp the real impact such irrefutable evidence of separate but unequal justice systems will have on America’s already-diminished faith in government.
Unfortunately, both for the country and the rule of law, the satire above accurately depicts reality if Hillary’s elected…only it will be her aides she pardons. As the crimes committed and damage to national security are undeniable, somebody‘s gotta hang; and it sure as Hell ain’t gonna be Bill’s worse half. So Huma and Cheryl will be indicted, then keep their lips zipped until President Rodham-Clinton grants them executive clemency…along with life-long financial security and likely a book deal.
All the the while the Russians, ChiComs, Iranians, NoKos and every other enemy of the greatest nation ever conceived (which Hillary and her boss were so intent on changing) will be laughing all the way to the windfall branch of the intelligence bank.
As we discussed with G. Trevor last Friday, this entire sordid story offers proof positive, from Hillary’s email crimes to Bill’s perjury, Lois Lerner to the VA embezzlers(Hells bells; they even got to KEEP the money they stole!!!), Sandy Burglar to Congress not being subject to the laws they saddle upon the rest of us, this is government run amok. Sure, there are rules, but they’re evidently discretionary, with no discernible penalty(ies), significant or otherwise for violators.
What’s sadder still, in the past, rather than providing the solution, Republicans have been, and continue to be, a significant part of the problem. Say hello to the folks who pulled the pin on the Trump grenade…
…leaving the rest of us to fall on it.
Yo, Republicans:
Oh,…as for The Donald, wherever you are out there…
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, courtesy of the New York Post, Michael Goodwin suggests one of Mitt’s most prominent shortcomings is…
“Seriously…five? My hopelessly inept campaign and refusal to disavow Romneycare caused almost five million people who voted for McCain to stay home on Election Day 2012?!?”
“Mitt Romney’s attack on Donald Trump was concise and well-written and, by calling the front-runner a “phony” and a “fraud,” hit all the erogenous zones of the anti-Trumpsters. But in the end, the speech flopped because, like so much else of Romney’s career, the message was muddled.
Why was the last GOP nominee shredding his most likely successor? If he feels so strongly that Trump must be stopped, why didn’t he endorse another candidate? And why make the unprecedented attack now?
Three questions, one answer: Romney wants back in, but doesn’t have the nerve to come out and say it. So typical, and another example of what so many Republicans like about Trump. As writer and Fox commentator Monica Crowley put it, frustrated GOP voters “want a street fighter,” and in Trump, they finally have one. (It’s just unclear for which side he’ll ultimately fight!) Romney reminded us Thursday that he is a boardroom fighter. He might have been a very good president, and I don’t regret voting for him four years ago. I only regret that he lost an election he should have won.
He was an incompetent candidate, believing he was going to win until the last minute, when he realized his polls were all wrong. He stood mute as a biased moderator sided with President Obama on Benghazi in the crucial second debate.His computerized turn-out-the-vote operation crashed on Election Day.
Romney came close to running again this time, but backed out early last year, a decision he surely regrets. “I would love to be president,” he told Katie Couric. “I just concluded I was not the best person to carry forward the Republican torch.” He was right then, and he’s still not the right person. Nobody misses him because everybody knows Hillary Clinton would wipe the floor with him.
Yet, save for election or death, there is no cure for the presidential bug, so Romney won’t give up his fantasy. But what he hoped would be seen as a principled stand against Trump was, in fact, a disingenuous and selfish act. His failure to endorse either Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz is most revealing. Romney’s only hope for stealing the nomination is a brokered GOP convention where nobody has a majority of delegates on the first ballot and he emerges as a compromise. And the only way for that to happen is for both Rubio and Cruz to collect enough delegates so that Trump can’t reach the magic number of 1,237.
If Romney really wanted to stop Trump now, he would have backed one of the two main rivals and urged the other, as well as John Kasich, to get out. A total consolidation of all others against Trump is the only plausible way to deny him the nomination…”
Time will tell, but even that stratagem may prove futile if Trump decides to run 3rd-party and drag the country down into Perdition with him.
Turning now from cowards to idiots, the man who engineered passage of the Iran treaty, wittingly or witlessly, offers some hypocritical and useless advice to the voters he betrayed some months back:
“…Here’s my message to the Republican Party leaders: Focus more on listening to the American people and less on trying to stifle their voice.“
“What’s happening in the Republican primary is the result of two things: the fecklessness and ineptness of the Washington establishment in failing to address the big issues facing our country and years of anger with the overreach of the Obama administration. And to be candid, I think the American people should be angrier than they are…”
Gee, Bob; did your epiphany which ensured passage of the Iran treaty come before or after…
…your round of golf with The Great Deceiver?!? Allow us to jog your memory; it was before passage of the treaty…
…but well after it was firmly established Barack Hussein Obama was the greatest internal enemy America has face since the War of Southern Secession.
Is it any wonder…
So to you, Senator Corker, we offer our sincere and heartfelt…
And a despicable, deceitful douchebag at that!
Speaking of despicable, deceitful douchebags, one’s the subject of Jim Geraghty’s latest Morning Jolt:
Psst! Donald Trump Doesn’t Really Know What He Thinks About H-1B Visas!
Immigration hawks are among those insisting that they’re not going to Trump University, that they’re not suckers, and that Trump would never betray them. Oh, and he’ll respect them in the morning.
KELLY: Mr. Trump, your campaign website to this day argues that more visas for highly skilled workers would, quote, “decimate American workers”. However, at the CNBC debate, you spoke enthusiastically in favor of these visas. So, which is it?
TRUMP: I’m changing. I’m changing. We need highly skilled people in this country, and if we can’t do it, we’ll get them in. But, and we do need in Silicon Valley, we absolutely have to have. So, we do need highly skilled, and one of the biggest problems we have is people go to the best colleges. They’ll go to Harvard, they’ll go to Stanford, they’ll go to Wharton, as soon as they’re finished they’ll get shoved out. They want to stay in this country. They want to stay here desperately, they’re not able to stay here. For that purpose, we absolutely have to be able to keep the brain power in this country.
KELLY: So you’re abandoning the position on your website…
TRUMP: …I’m changing it, and I’m softening the position because we have to have talented people in this country.
Mark Krikorian, probably the smartest, most thoroughly informed and uncompromising immigration hawk in the country, was not pleased:
In Thursday’s debate, Trump reiterated both anti-American-worker positions, favoring the importation of more high-skilled and low-skilled foreign workers. “I’m changing,” Trump said, regarding his views on skilled visas. “I’m changing it and I’m softening the position because we have to have talented people in this country.” True enough, except that we already have twice as many technical degree holders as there are tech jobs.
What made Trump’s “I’m changing” comment even more shameless than usual for him is that just on Sunday he held a rally featuring former Disney employees who were replaced by the very foreign worker program he’s now praising.
And then after the debate, Trump’s campaign quickly issued this statement:
Megyn Kelly asked about highly-skilled immigration. The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.
To qualify for H1B Visa, the foreign professional must hold a bachelor’s or higher degree from an accredited college or university in the specialty occupation. If the foreign professional holds a foreign degree, then that degree must be determined to be the educational equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree.
The foreign professional may also obtain an educational equivalence through a combination of education, specialized training or progressive work experience. Three years of specialized experience is generally considered equivalent to one year of college education…
Sixty-one percent of H-1B petitions approved in fiscal year 2012 were for workers in computer related occupations.
Now, if Donald Trump isthis uninformed, contradictory, slippery and confused on what’s supposed to be his signature issue…how well do you think he knows, understands, or has a plan for all the other issues?
Based on our conversations to date with Trumpeteers with which we’re familiar, they neither know…nor do they WANNA know! If ignorance is bliss, these folks have all achieved Nirvana!
Truth is, as NRO‘s Kevin Williamson suggests, it’s time to…
“‘He may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch.” That observation is attributed (possibly erroneously) to Franklin D. Roosevelt, expressing his feelings about Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza García. That’s the American version of “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” and it has produced mixed results as a foreign-policy guideline: Saddam Hussein, the Afghan muhajideen, and the Pakistanis were our sons of bitches right up until they weren’t. Moammar Qaddafi was our son of a bitch for about five minutes, and a fat lot of good it did him.
Strange thing: A fair number of purported Republicans annoyed at enemy-of-my-enemy thinking as a rule of thumb for international affairs have embraced it as a model for choosing a president. This isn’t going to work out well for them.
Donald Trump is not your son of a bitch. He’s just a son of a bitch…”
As much as his diehard disciples wish it weren’t so, here’s the juice: for the record, The Donald is neither…
1. Christian…at least not as we remotely understand the term;
5. As Mary Anastasia O’Grady reports, he isn’t even remotelyCredible!
Like Billy Borders in High Plains Drifter, what Trump is is bad, all bad, just bad.
Since we’re on the subject of all-bad, it’s time for the latest edition of our Great Moments in Naval History segment, courtesy today of George Lawlor, as Newsday.com details the latest bit of brilliance (assuming you’re Russian, ChiCom, NoKo, Iranian or Barry Soetoro!) recommended by Ray Mabus, who, given his crimes against the state in general, and the U.S. Navy in particular, ought to be hanging, alongside Hillary, higher than Haman:
You can bet the private sector’s simply salivating at the prospect of offering these two fine fillies lucrative alternative employment options!
“The Navy is giving another chance to thousands of sailors who otherwise would be kicked out for repeatedly failing their physical fitness tests because they exceeded body fat limits.
The service branch loosened its body fat restrictions in January and is allowing those who failed their exams three or more times to get one more opportunity to be tested this spring under the more lenient guidelines. The Navy said it has been losing too many talented sailors. Some were resorting to liposuction, diet pills and other measures to save their careers.
…The changes are the latest by the military looking to improve its abilities to recruit and retain talented people as it builds up its cyber-warfare strategy and faces competition from a rebounding economy.
…Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said the service is not lowering standards but rather adjusting to reality: People today, in general, are bigger but not necessarily fat. The Navy is also considering larger uniforms sizes for the first time in two decades…”
Gee…guess simply monitoring sailors’ weight on a regular basis, or…heaven forbid…ordering them to eat less weren’t workable options! Understand, we personally lived this politically-correct crap with the first female Plebes at the Naval Academy. We didn’t buy it then, and we don’t buy it now!
On The Lighter Side…
Finally, Shannon Wood forwarded this accurate assessment of the vast majority of Liberals’ only consistent drinking habit:
And the horse you rode in on, you useless piece of Dimocratic defecation!
