OBAMA, BUSH AND THE VA MESS: THE REAL STORY

It doesn\’t happen often, but this time it is – at least to some extent. The dishonesty of Barack Obama and his administration regarding the horrific condition of VA hospitals and VA (Veterans Affairs) in general – including an astonishingly fraudulent effort to blame it on President Bush almost 5 1/2 years after he was replaced by Mr. Obama –...

THE “OUTING” OF OUR TOP SPY IN AFGHANISTAN

In a horrible gaffe, the White House accidentally leaked the name of our top spy in Afghanistan (AKA our “Chief Of Station”) to the entire press pool – all 6,000 of them. As immense a mistake as this was, I have to believe it was unintentional – 100% an error.  And unintentional errors happen. I assume that the person in question has been spirited out, is...

MEMORIAL DAY

Today is Memorial Day. Please remember that it may be a holiday with great sales in the stores.  But that is not why it exists.  Memorial Day exists to honor our military….those who served and those who sacrificed so that we can be free. Always remember.  Never forget.

A QUOTE I LIKE

This quote, from Andrew Klavan of truthrevolt.com, does not quite make it as “Quote Of The Day\’.  But I like it enough to post it here: “Manyconservatives feel hurt and confused by the fact that Democrats keepcalling them racist. If you think Black Americans should be treatedexactly the same as White Americans, they call you racist foropposing affirmative action. If you...

THE LEFT\’S PAEAN TO VA HOSPITALS

With a major tip of my imaginary hat to James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal, here are a few quotes about the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital system, from left wing sources that I\’m sort of guessing they would like to take them back: Therewas no ObamaCarein January 2006, when formerEnron adviser Paul Krugman wrote this: “Iknow about a health care system that has been...

THE KARZAI SNUB

I\’ll make this short and to the point. hamid karzai is the President of Afghanistan (the part – and it isn\’t very big – where there are any laws at all) specifically and entirely because of the United States.  We leave, he\’s gone and the taliban are right back in charge. For the past five years, the President who has allowed troops in...

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY

Today\’s quote – and it is a telling one – comes to us from Iran\’s Defense Minister – Brigadier-General hossein dehqan. And what does a military leader of a terrorist nation have to say that would interest us?  Here\’s your answer: “Weask our nuclear negotiators to focus their utmost efforts on thecomplete annihilation of the Zionist...

“DETACHED” “FLAT-FOOTED” “INCOMPETENT”

What if I told you that there are politicians calling President Obama “detached”, flat-footed” and “incompetent”? It wouldn\’t surprise you, would it?  Even though the language is a little rough, it is hardly a surprise that the opposition party is insulting a sitting President is it? Except…..uh…..well……those insults are not...

IRAN “PEACE DEAL” UPDATE

Remember mainstream  media\’s collective euphoria when President Obama cut a “peace deal” with Iran, in which sanctions would be lifted in return for the country forgoing its nuclear ambitions and traveling a path to peace? Wow.  What a tremendous diplomatic breakthrough.  Weren\’t we lucky to have such a master negotiator in charge? So how is that actually...

HEADING DOWN THE SHORE

Yesterday was a dank, raw, overcast-then-rainy bust. But today the sun is out and the temperature is climbing. Time to get away from the computer, into the car with my bride, and head “down the shore” – maybe to Avon or Spring Lake Heights…where we can sit out and/or walk the boardwalk, and enjoy the regeneration of the Jersey shore – which really, truly has...

THE VA SCANDAL: PELOSI\’S LIE, MERLINE\’S TRUTH

Anyone who, by now, does not recognize that Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is a serial liar who will stuck that miracle-of-cosmetic-surgery face out at you and speak without regard to honesty, facts or logic, is probably not going to care about this latest lie. But it is still a lie – and one that the Obama administration has no problem with either, because it shifts blame for the absolute mess...

FAST AND FURIOUS FALLOUT

For years I warned that part of the fallout from the Obama administration\’s incredibly ill-conceived Operation Fast and Furious would be that the Mexican drug cartels would be emboldened to move northward. Here is a hint – no, make that a bold, loud statement – of what is to come, courtesy of the very brave Angela Kocherga at Houston\’s KHOU-TV : ElPaso police...

OBAMACARNAGE: THE SUBSIDY DEBACLE

Just when you thought ObamaCare could not possibly be worse, we have  Amy Goldstein and Sandhya Somashekhar\’s article  from the usually Obama-sympathetic Washington Post, about the subsidy debacle…and the inevitable catastrophe it will cause, which appears to be inevitable: What am I talking about?  use the above link to read the entire article – or...

RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATION

We spent much of yesterday with our children and grandchildren in Northern New Jersey.  That was the best. And we brought in dinner from a sushi restaurant – Masa, in Allendale, NJ – that was terrific.  The equal of anything we have had in New York City.  If you\’re up that way, give it a try. Oh, one other thing:  I was doing a “Mad Libs” (are...
