Clinton video showing her lecture State Dept. staff on cybersecurity in 2010

You read that right! Miss "you mean wipe like with a rag?" Clinton. Miss "did not attend one single cyber-security training class while at State" Clinton. Miss "send classified information to/from her private, illegal email server" Clinton.

So she clearly knew that cyber-security was important. She clearly knew the address/URL of the State Department was a ".gov" site. She clearly knew where to go to get "proper" security information.

SO she clearly knew she was doing something wrong, out of the ordinary, not proper, not approved, not secure, not something anyone else would or could do.

What did she promise to the Director of the FBI or what did President Obama say to the Director of the FBI to keep him from recommending charges against her? Any one of us would go to jail for a mere fraction of the security failures she has been documented doing.

Grooming the next generation of terrorists...

The next time one of your pro-Palestine friends defends the Palestinians as an oppressed peoples that just wants their own place, show them this:



This is one of about 4000 toys that were seized from a shipment to the Palestinian authority. These toys were to be given to children.

Each toy has its face hidden by a keffiyah, with one arm raised and clutching a tiny toy rock. They hold banners in Palestinian colors proclaiming “Jerusalem is ours” and “Jerusalem we are coming.”

These rock throwing campaigns have already claimed lives and toys like this show the lengths the Palestine authority will go to indoctrinate, involve, and incite children to take part. It makes good propaganda when Israelis are forced to fight back against children which the Palestinians use for human shields and as solders in their war against Israel.



 

Follow the link. It also shows how the children are incited to do knife attacks upon Israelis.

Hillary Clinton asks State Department to release her emails...

Hillary Clinton has asked the State Department to release her emails to try and end this "email scandal". My headline is one that a number of news organizations are running. It is actually a partial truth. To be completely true, the headline should read: Hillary Clinton asks State Department to Release all of the Emails She Gave Them. That is the issue. As this was a private server (apparently hosted in her residents), there is NO way for anyone to know what was on it AND that is the way that Hillary likes it. You can't FOIA what you don't know about or what State does not have.

Remember, this is not a government official occasionally sending work emails through their private account [though that is bad enough]. This is someone that sent 100% of all of their State Department work mail through their own, private email server. Every Single Person she sent official email to could see she was not using a government email account but no one officially raised any red flags?

She is now claiming she did not know she could not do this. She knew about it enough in at least 2007 when she leveled similar charges (using un-official email accounts) against the Bush administration.

WOW! Just WOW and this person wants to be President? WOW!

Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?

This is an older video but still funny and still on point.

[Wrap up of segment on getting out of jury duty.]
Diane Sawyer: "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury. And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had.

Short answer: Sometimes the truth hurts.

I find it quite funny that she does not understand why everyone laughed! They really are that clueless...

Video Montage of Obama Administration Statements on Syria

timiditas et deditio

A more appropriate motto for Yale, "timiditas et deditio" (cowardice and surrender) to replace their current and obviously outdated motto of “lux et veritas” (light and truth) in light of the recent decision by the Yale University Press to publish a book about the recent world wide brouhaha over the publication of cartoons of Mohammad (good for them so far) and not actually include the very cartoons that all the "fuss" was about. This means that the book will talk all about it but not actually show any of them so that the reader can make up their own mind as to the offensiveness of these cartoons in comparison to the uproar that they caused. Brilliant!

For anyone that is still unaware, you can catch up (and see the cartoons) here.

Evil Rich

It is even worst than what I noted in A New York State of Mind in that the tax burden on the top 1% of wage earners now exceeds that of bottom 95%. IRS data shows that in 2007 the top 1% of taxpayers paid 40.4% of the total income taxes collected by the federal government. That is just disgraceful!

The numbers break down as follows:

• The top 1% paid 40.4% of all federal taxes for 2007.
• Adding in the next 4% for a total of the top 5% comes to 60.6% of all federal taxes for 2007.
• The top 50% of tax payers account for 97.11% of the 2007 federal taxes paid.
• The bottom 50% paid 2.89%.

It is even worst than this. Not only are the bottom 50% of tax payers only paying 2.89% of federal taxes but a large number of them are actually getting federal welfare checks in the form of tax refunds for monies they did not pay in the first place.

I would bet dollars to donuts that this information is not reported by any of the major news networks (Fox excluded). This just does not fit in with the mime of evil, selfish rich.

More PETA nuttiness

As one of the poster's said, PETA must be punking us all because there is no way a sane organization would put out this kind of garbage. First "sea kittens" and now the KKK-AKC. That is right, the brain surgeons at PETA are comparing an organization that works for the betterment of dogs to an organization that lynched black people. At least the AKC never killed a bunch of animals and threw them into dumpsters. What a bunch of loons. Really, these people need to be restricted to safety scissors.

Enviro-hypocrisy at the highest levels

Did you really expect something else?

As usual, it is quite fashionable for those in power to preach the need for sacrifice to the masses but just as with communist countries, all of the preaching and posturing is meant to guide our lives, not theirs.

The Plan

Giveaway Bailout Plan passes

House Minority Leader Boehner:

The passage of this flawed but necessary bill is not cause for celebration.

The financial crisis is not a failure of the free-market system. It is a failure of a broken Washington, and a government culture that allowed executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other firms to run amok, ultimately imperiling our nation’s economy. For years Republicans warned of this danger and advocated reform of these government-sponsored enterprises. And for years such reforms were thwarted by legislators with deep political ties to the worst offenders, putting the companies’ interests ahead of the interests of our country.

House Republicans stood on principle throughout this process. We secured numerous reforms on behalf of American taxpayers, such as raising the FDIC insurance cap, the SEC’s change to mark-to-market rules for certain assets that have worsened the credit crisis, and an insurance program that forces Wall Street to bear a financial burden in the rescue package. Republicans also were successful in stripping from the original Paulson-Democrat bailout plan of its special-interest earmarks for trial lawyers, labor bosses, and thinly-veiled political organizations like ACORN. This significantly improved legislation is much stronger than the initial Paulson plan and protects the interests of families, seniors, small businesses, and all taxpayers.

Ain't that the truth! Others have referred to this bill as a "crap sandwich" which is putting it mildly. What started out as a 3 page bill last week is well over 450 pages now. Politicians caused this mess and made money off of it, told us how important and necessary it was for us all to come together to fix it and then lined their pockets even more. What pigs. They all should be ashamed but as politicians, you know they will not be.

NYT; France TV 2 al-Dura lie "not a story"

As noted in the article, the NTY spend plenty of time pushing the al-Dura story when it thought the story true, that Israel forces killed a 12 year old boy. It appears that this story has been proved to be a lie in French court but no word of that a the Times. What gives NTY, this does not count as news?

More prison guards desecrate the Koran

I doubt that you will hear about it on NBC, ABC, CBS or CNN as it did not take place in Gitmo by U.S. personnel (unlike that fake story that appeared in Newsweek). Instead this incident took place in a Syrian prison. As others have pointed out, since this incident took place in the middle-east and can not be linked back to the Great Satan (the good old U.S. of A.) then it is mostly a non-issue and nothing to get too worked up over either here or in the middle-east.

Double-Speak

Why it would be difficult to "swift boat" McCain

For this to be a "Swift Boating," people who stayed at the Hanoi Hilton would have to say that McCain was lying about what he did there -- or perhaps that his repeated claims that events there were "seared, seared" in his memory are false, and he was never actually there at all -- and those people would have to be telling the truth.

And I don't think that is likely to happen...

As the liberal playbook instructs, the left must now try to dig up any dirt that they can against McCain and claim that they are just doing what the "swift boat" guys did to Kerry, all the while ignoring the fact that what the Swift Boat guys did was tell the truth about Kerry's lies whereas what the left is doing is either twisting the truth or making things up. The Swift Boat guys used Kerry's own lies and actions against him and rightfully so whereas the left is just trying to slander McCain. Yet another example of leftest double-speak.

More Democrats verses Republicans

This could almost be a game show or something, pointing out all of the instances of Democrats saying one thing but doing another and than showing Republicans just doing the right thing.

This latest example involved Barack Obama and John McCain. Barack talks a good game on equal pay but pays his female staff less then the boys whereas McCain actually pays the females on his staff better. It also does not hurt that he has more senior women on his staff where as Obama has maybe one senior woman on his staff. So much for diversity...

It is also pretty funny that Obama has more total staff then McCain and has managed to accomplish so much less. What does he do with the extra staff? I wonder if his female staff will be getting raises by the end of the week.

It does not appear to matter if the Democrat is Obama, Franken or Gore. They all seem to have the same play book, do as I say not as I do.

Coulter strikes oil

Liberals complain that -- as B. Hussein Obama put it -- there's "no way that allowing offshore drilling would lower gas prices right now. At best you are looking at five years or more down the road."

And where will we be five years from now if we don't start drilling?

Six long years ago President Bush had the foresight to demand that Congress allow drilling in a minuscule portion of the Alaska's barren, uninhabitable Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). In 2002, Bush, Tom DeLay and the entire Republican Party were screaming from the rooftops: Drill! Drill! Drill!

We'd be gushing oil now -- except the Democrats stopped us from drilling.

It is funny how no one, media included remembers that fight or maybe it is not so much funny as collective liberal/media amnesia.

Have Fun Storming The Castle!

Completely unbelievable that a) these people have such short and/or selective memories or b) that they think the rest of the country does.

Thanks for NOTHING, Sen. Feinstein

Now, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has attached the perennial AgJOBS amnesty to the must-pass Iraq War appropriations bill. This was part of the “comprehensive” amnesty bill. She is carrying water for those in the agriculture sector who wantonly hire illegal aliens.

Illegals receive immunity for any Social Security fraud if they worked under a fake or stolen Social Security number. They’d get their own SSN. They don’t have to pay any back taxes owed on illegal employment.

Feinstein prohibits Homeland Security from using any information illegals provide on their legalization application for law enforcement. So, AgJOBS gives lawbreakers (illegal aliens and agricultural employers) immunity from past lawbreaking.

With friends like these, who needs enemies!

One small win for the good guys

Now it is time for France 2 to acknowledge that it created and is continuing to perpetuate the worst anti-Semitic libel of our era.

Though I would not hold my breath if I were you...

Shame on Google!

So much for "do no evil" eh?

So what was this horrible thing that caused Google to feel compelled to rat the man out to authorities? It seems he posted "content in vulgar language about Sonia Gandhi".

And for this heinous crime (thank the stars that Google was able to help in his apprehension) he could be "imprisoned for up to five years and may have to pay a fine up to Rs one lakh."

Thank you Google, thank you for protecting us all from such a vial and disgusting person! Thanks for making the world a safer place!

Harvard and the Military

Good article and worth the read. I am afraid though that its sentiments will fall on deaf ears. The left is all for respecting diversity as long as it is their diversity that you are respecting. Just like the left is all for free speech as long as it is their free speech. The left is all for inalienable rights as long as it is the ones they approve of.

Harvard is all about making a "statement" and kicking ROTC off of campus but they still seem fairly eager to continue to accept take Federal funds.

Typical lefty hypocrites.

I expect that Drew Faust won't take the offered advice and will choose to use this event as a political platform and I also expect that any media coverage will gush about her courage "speaking truth to power" and I unfortunately, I don't expect to be disappointed...
