So... shall we start with my reaction to Bibi's speech?
SURE...! WHY NOT...?!
You KNOW that even the most loyal Democratic partisans watching and listening to that speech got up after it was done thinking to themselves, "...fucking Obama..."
(*SHRUG*)
Listen... GANG... I'm AGAINST the bipartisan "War Party." I'm a Buchanaite - an "America First" kinda guy! I wanna get us OUT of "entangling alliances," not rushing toward war...
(*ANOTHER SHRUG*)
That said... Netanyahu laid out his case in such a way as to having me nodding my head in agreement during most of it.
(Hell... he even mentioned North Korea!)
And, folks... com'on... just the PICTURE of Bibi... the "performance"... compare and contrast to the supposed "Great Orator," Barack Hussein Obama...
FAGETABOUTIT...!!!
And now... on to newsbites...

The U.S. has so much crude that it is running out of places to put it, and that could drive oil and gasoline prices even lower in the coming months.
* SO EXPLAIN WHY OIL PRICES NOT ONLY STOPPED DECLINING LAST MONTH BUT THEN ROSE?
For the past seven weeks, the United States has been producing and importing an average of 1 million more barrels of oil every day than it is consuming. That extra crude is flowing into storage tanks, especially at the country's main trading hub in Cushing, Oklahoma, pushing U.S. supplies to their highest point in at least 80 years, the Energy Department reported last week.
* SO WHY AM I PAYING $2.29 GAL. INSTEAD OF $1.79 GAL?
If this keeps up, storage tanks could approach their operational limits, known in the industry as "tank tops," by mid-April and send the price of crude — and probably gasoline, too — plummeting.
"The fact of the matter is we are running out of storage capacity in the U.S.," Ed Morse, head of commodities research at Citibank, said at a recent symposium at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Morse has suggested oil could fall all the way to $20 a barrel from the current $50.
* BUT WHY IS OIL AT $50 NOW...?!?! WHY ISN'T IT AT $40...???
At that rock-bottom price, oil companies, faced with mounting losses, would stop pumping oil until the glut eased. Gasoline prices would fall along with crude, though lower refinery production, because of seasonal factors and unexpected outages, could prevent a sharp decline.
* FOLKS... SOUNDS LIKE WE'RE BEING CONDITIONED TO ACCEPT BEING SCREWED NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!
The national average price of gasoline is $2.44 a gallon. That's $1.02 cheaper than last year at this time, but up 37 cents over the past month.
* EXACTLY! WHY "UP" 37-CENTS...?!?!

The former chiefs of staff to House Speaker John Boehner and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus are part of a concerted effort to target House conservatives with advertisements aimed at pressuring them to cave to President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty and fund it in its entirety through the end of the fiscal year.
* I... HATE... BOEHNER...
“An outside group aligned with House GOP leadership will spend $400,000 this week to urge dozens of conservative House Republicans to vote for Department of Homeland Security funding — a new and more aggressive phase in the legislative battle among Republicans that’s consuming Capitol Hill,” Politico wrote about a new effort from American Action Network, a group whose board is home to power players including Boehner’s ex-chief of staff Barry Jackson and immediate previous RNC chief of staff Mike Shields.
The massive ad buy against Republican members by Boehner’s and Priebus’ ex-top aides, pressuring conservatives to drop their strong opposition to Obama’s executive amnesty, targets three specific House Republicans: Reps. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) and Jim Jordan (R-OH).
* THAT ASSHOLE JORDAN VOTED FOR BOEHNER'S RE-ELECTION TO THE SPEAKERSHIP; SERVES HIM RIGHT!
“The 30-second spot will run at least 50 times in each district — on broadcast, in prime slots — Tuesday and Wednesday as the House is expected to take up a DHS funding bill,” Politico wrote.
The group says the ad campaign, which also includes radio ads on nationally syndicated shows and digital ads in dozens of other districts represented by House conservatives, is the opening salvo of a larger effort to help Republican leaders pass center-right legislation. American Action Network says it will spend millions of dollars to contact voters in the coming months. The move appears designed to give Boehner cover to end the months-long impasse over homeland security funding.
* THE HOMELAND FUNDING GAMBIT WAS BOEHNER'S IDEA!
It’s going to be nearly impossible for Boehner or Priebus to separate the efforts of this group from their own, as Jackson and Shields are members of the two top Republicans’ respective inner circles. It comes as Boehner, meanwhile, is trying to shift blame to anyone else for the coming DHS funding cave that will enable Obama’s executive amnesty. Meanwhile, the environment for a potential coup against Boehner by Republican alternatives on Capitol Hill is improving.
* THE DEMS HAVE SOMETHING ON BOEHNER; I'M CONVINCED OF IT.
AAN is one of the biggest supporters of amnesty, having lobbied Congress in favor of the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill that failed in the last Congress. Other board members include former Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), Thayer Lodging Group head and hotelier Fred Malek, former Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno, and several other lobbyists and former members of Congress from the establishment.
The advertisements’ content directly contradicts rhetoric from Boehner and Priebus.
“The House has acted. We’ve done our job. Senate Democrats are the ones putting us in this precarious position,” Boehner said a couple weeks ago on Fox News Sunday.
Before the midterm elections, Priebus promised Republican voters that members of the new Republican majority — if conservatives stepped up to deliver the elections to the GOP, would defund Obama’s executive amnesty, something he even called “un-American.”
“While I can’t speak for the legislature, I’m very confident we will stop that,” Priebus said back then. “We will do everything we can to make sure it doesn’t happen: Defunding, going to court, injunction. You name it. It’s wrong. It’s illegal. And for so many reasons, and just the basic fabric of this country, we can’t allow it to happen and we won’t let it happen. I don’t know how to be any stronger than that. I’m telling you, everything we can do to stop it we will.”
* LYING SACK OF SHIT...
