Mornin', folks... here's the latest from the
"competence challenged" Obama Administration:
Germany has asked the CIA station chief in the country to
leave the country, an unusual action among allies that is a very public
expression of anger over reported cases of U.S. spying in the country.
* AN "UNUSUAL" MOVE...?!?! "UNUSUAL...?!?!"
THE UNDERSTATEMENT IS AWE INSPIRING...!!!
* FOLKS... READ THE 16 PARAGRAPH ARTICLE AND NOTE... NOT
ONE COMPARISON... NOT ONE EXAMPLE OF THE LAST TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS
HAPPENED...
(*PURSED LIPS*)
* OH... GET THIS... THIS DESPERATE ATTEMPT BY THE
WASHINGTON POST TO PROVIDE COVER FOR OBAMA... PARAGRAPH'S 15 & 16:
The latest developments also exposed an apparent lapse by
the CIA to keep the White House apprised of setbacks in Germany.
A U.S. official acknowledged that when President Obama
spoke with Merkel on July 3, he had not been made aware that a CIA informant
had been arrested there the day before, a situation reported by the New York
Times. Merkel did not raise the issue during the call.

A cargo train used by Mexicans and Central Americans to travel toward the U.S. border derailed in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, stranding about 1,300 migrants, emergency services said.
* A CARGO TRAIN MEXICAN AUTHORITIES OBVIOUSLY KNOW IS USED BY MEXICANS AND CENTRAL AMERICANS TO TRAVEL TOWARDS THE U.S. BORDER... WITH MEXICAN GOVERNMENT APPROVAL! (OR ELSE THEY'D STOP THE TRAIN... DEPORT THE CENTRAL AMERICANS... AND DEAL WITH THEIR OWN CITIZENS!)

As de facto party leader, presidents raise political money.
* THEY SHOULDN'T. THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO. THEY ARE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES 24/7/365. PERIOD!
President Obama apparently likes raising campaign funds. He has attended 34 fundraisers so far this year.
What is unusual is how much time he devotes to it, his timing and his lack of judgment.
For example, the afternoon following the Sept. 11, 2012, murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya, Mr. Obama left the White House for a fundraiser in Las Vegas and a campaign appearance in Colorado.
* DISGUSTING...
As Russian troops stormed into the Crimea on Friday, Feb. 28, 2014, Mr. Obama clinked his glass at a DNC fundraiser, declaring "this is now officially happy hour with the Democratic Party. I can do that. It is an executive action. I have the authority." Vladimir Putin must have been amused.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
When Islamic terrorists captured Mosul, Iraq's second most populous city, and menaced Baghdad in mid-June, Mr. Obama did not hunker down in the Situation Room. He headed to a Laguna Beach, Calif., fundraiser where 25 people wrote checks of up to $32,400.
After raising money at an event for Sen. Mark Udall in Colorado Tuesday — Mr. Udall bailed at the last minute — Mr. Obama is now completing a two-day fundraising swing through Texas.
On Wednesday he attended a barbecue at the palatial Dallas home of plaintiff attorney Marc Stanley. Tickets cost as much as $32,400, with the money going to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Fundraisers are a priority for this president — he has attended 393 fundraisers since taking office, according to CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, compared with George W. Bush's 216 at the same point in his presidency.
* AGAIN... FOLKS... THE PATTERN IS THIS: BUSH DOES FUCKED UP THINGS... OBAMA DOUBLES DOWN.
(*SHRUG*)
What is not a priority is visiting South Texas to see the tragedy unfolding from a wave of illegal immigrants, many unaccompanied children.
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, less than 4,000 unaccompanied Central American minors were apprehended each year over the past decade.
(*PAUSE*)
Then Mr. Obama halted deportations of some young illegals in June 2012 and the number of apprehensions jumped to 10,146 in that fiscal year.
(*PAUSE*)
It then doubled to 20,805 last fiscal year...
(*PURSED LIPS*)
...and reached 39,133 by mid-June of this year, with 3½ months left in the fiscal year.
* FOLKS... IF YOU CAN'T FOLLOW THIS... CAN'T CONNECT THE DOTS... THEN, PLEASE... DON'T BE FRUITFUL... DON'T MULTIPLY... LET YOUR GENE POOL DIE OUT WITH YOU!
To deflect criticism over the crisis, Team Obama is falling back on an old tactic. They are blaming President George W. Bush. His sin? The bill he signed in December 2008 that gives additional protections to minors who might be victims of sex trafficking to avoid being sent back to a pimp or madam.
* BUT AS DEMONSTRATED ABOVE...
That won't fly.
* NOPE...
If Mr. Bush started all this, why did it take until 3½ years after he left office for the number of unaccompanied Central American minors crossing our borders to surge?
The rush of child illegals began when Mr. Obama suspended enforcement of existing immigration laws shortly before the 2012 election.
* ONE... MORE... TIME...
The rush of child illegals began when Mr. Obama suspended enforcement of existing immigration laws shortly before the 2012 election.
* AND GUESS WHAT...
That helped him win Hispanic voters, but the result of ignoring the nation's laws can be seen across the entire southwest border.
To his credit, Texas Gov. Rick Perry made a stink about Mr. Obama's failure to treat the crisis seriously and insisted on "a substantive meeting" with the president. The administration responded by folding Mr. Perry into a meeting with faith leaders and local elected officials in Dallas on Wednesday, 500 miles north of the Rio Grande Valley.

What do we need to turn our country around? Well, for starters, we need a president who stops getting his energy policies from Hollywood movies — and Hollywood liberals.
Consider President Obama’s dithering when it comes to approving the Keystone XL pipeline. First proposed in 2008, this massive infrastructure project would bring low-cost crude oil from fields in Canada southward to the United States. Despite nearly six years of government reviews — and nearly four dozen oil and gas pipelines already safely operating between the U.S. and Canada — the Obama administration and the State Department still have not approved the pipeline.
The president and liberals in his administration apparently believe in energy policies that are a twisted version of Kevin Costner’s vision in Field of Dreams. While Costner believed that “If you build it, they will come,” the administration apparently believes that if it doesn’t approve Keystone XL, the oil resources in Canada will stay where they are.
But President Obama couldn’t be more wrong!
In fact, the Canadian government under Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently gave preliminary approval to the Northern Gateway pipeline. That project would transport Canadian crude oil from the fields in Alberta westward to British Columbia. From there, it could be shipped by tanker to countries in the Far East.
So the question is not whether or not crude oil will move from Canada into worldwide consumption; that will occur regardless of the State Department’s decision on Keystone XL. The real question is whether the United States will capitalize on the opportunity that Keystone brings to expand our energy supply and reduce prices for consumers — or whether those benefits will go to other countries, including economic and strategic rivals like China.
* YET ANOTHER THING I LIKE ABOUT JINDAL - HE UNDERSTANDS THAT CHINA IS NOT OUR FRIEND!
* TO BE CONTINUED...
* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)
In addition to generating well-paying jobs (the State Department’s own review concluded that construction would create 40,000 jobs) Keystone XL also represents a key plank in securing the resources America needs to support our economy. The project could reduce the amount of oil America imports from Venezuela, the Middle East, and other unstable regions of the world by up to 40%. This will be oil produced in North America, by companies employing thousands of American and Canadian citizens, under governmental frameworks that protect the environment and respect human rights.
(*THUMBS UP*)
But that’s not enough for the radical environmentalist crowd. Hollywood liberals like Robert Redford and Daryl Hannah oppose the pipeline, along with billionaire Tom Steyer — who views Keystone as a political litmus test (and who has pledged to spend more than $100 million supporting candidates who share his view).
Steyer and others believe that if Keystone isn’t approved Canada will “not be able to develop these oil sands.” But their theory just isn’t accurate. The Canadian government’s approval of the Northern Gateway project shows that the oil sands will be developed whether we approve Keystone or not.
(*PURSED LIPS*)
The problem isn’t just that Tom Steyer and the Left generally oppose Keystone; it’s that they oppose cheap energy - period!
* YEP...!!!
Liberals have transformed the abolition of carbon-based energy sources into a virtual religion, with opposition to Keystone among its most prominent tenets.
(It’s the same attitude that led the Obama administration to propose regulations on carbon sources that will decimate the coal industry and could raise electricity costs by an average of $17 billion per year between now and 2030.)
President Obama knew what he was doing when he picked as his first energy secretary Steven Chu — someone who had said he wanted to “boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”
(*NOD*)
[T]he administration’s agenda...[will]...hurt millions of ordinary Americans, who will pay more on their electric bills, face higher prices for myriad consumer goods, and see fewer job openings because our economy will grow at a slower pace.
(*NOD*)
Meanwhile America will become less secure — more dependent on potentially hostile regimes for our energy, and hindered by economic stagnation, even as countries like China use cheaper energy sources to turbocharge growth and development.
While the Left dreams of outlawing carbon-based fuels and the internal-combustion engine, its dream is quickly becoming a nightmare for millions of Americans. It’s time for President Obama to stop indulging his liberal backers’ fantasies and return to the reality of a country that desperately needs the jobs that plentiful energy can provide. Mr. President, please put your “pen and phone” to good use. Approve the Keystone XL pipeline today.
