bout 14 years ago I was assigned to a protection operation in Toronto in support of a visit by Vice-President Cheney. We didn't have a lot of down-time between the travel/walk-thru day and the visit and, as a result, I was extremely exhausted when the Vice-President arrived the next day.

Approximately 8 hours in to my 16-hour-plus day, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Officer I was working with, seeing that I was tired, offered me a chair to sit in. I thanked him but turned down the chair and stood for the rest of the shift.

I didn't turn down the chair because I didn't want it, I turned down the chair because it looked bad. I was a Secret Service Agent and I wasn't going to give off the impression of weakness to our cordial RCMP counterparts. I was proud of our agency and, although I have long since departed the Secret Service, I still am.

Relatively minor acts like this are repeated all over the world, every day, by men and women in our military, law enforcement and diplomatic corps who proudly wrap themselves in our flag and conduct our country's business with dignity and honor.

I write this because our President could learn something from these men and women. Golfing every weekend, taking multiple, extended vacations, attending fundraisers the day following our Ambassador's murder in Benghazi, and fooling around in bars in Colorado taking pictures, such as the one attached taken last night, while our border is collapsing, Iraq is falling, our IRS is targeting innocent citizens, and our vets are dying on VA waiting lists, is an embarrassment to our county and to the citizens looking for answers to the tidal wave of crises going on right now.

It's long past the time to lead and the President has nearly impeached himself. We do not have 2 more years to wait for him to take this job seriously. The people of the United Stated deserve better. Get serious, get out of the bar, and get down to the border.

A WORD FROM ME TO YOU

SORRY WE COULD NOT WIN THE USA IS GONE
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT HERE FOR ME TO DO BUT TELL YOU LOOK UP JESUS WILL COME SOON FOR ME

BUT GOD HAS IT IN HIS HANDS
WE CANT DO ANY THING MORE
TELL EVERY ONE JESUS LOVES THEM EVEN THE SINNERS
SORRY BUT WHEN THE USA MEN TROOPS SENATE AND CONGRESS LET OBAMA DO THIS TO OUR NATION AND ISRAEL
THERE IS NO HELP ANY MORE GOD WILL DESTORY THIS NATION FOR ATTACKING ISRAEL
AND YOU ALL WILL PAY FOR IT WITH YOUR LIFES

Oklahoma GOP Rep.: Common Core Is Indoctrinating Kids With Socialism

Oklahoma GOP Rep.: Common Core Is Indoctrinating Kids With Socialism

You don’t have the federal government controlling opinions and indoctrinating students and teachers with what they want the public to learn, and basically what they want the public to learn is that which is ‘common’ – which is why it’s called Common Core. I believe in exceptionalism and I think what Common Core does is it brings it all down to the lowest common denominator. It’s much like socialism. Socialism has been spreading poverty equally across the world and that’s not what we believe in. We believe in exceptionalism and that’s what our country should be advancing, not commonality.
Common Core, it should be noted, was actually not created by the federal government. It actually originated with the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association.
Meanwhile, a Republican lawmaker in Missouri is trying to have a little fun with opponents of Common Core. The lawmaker, House Education Committee Chairman Mike Lair (R), allocated money for two rolls of tin foil hats to an appropriation bill that removes language keeping Missouri from accepting federal money for implementing Common Core in local schools. The tin foil hats are meant to "protect" opponents of Common Core from "all the problems from the black helicopters and drones."

Trey Gowdy to Obama: Stop Trying to “Outmaneuver” the Constitution and Do Your JOB

Trey Gowdy to Obama: Stop Trying to “Outmaneuver” the Constitution and Do Your JOB

by Voice of Reason
 
To anyone who has followed the circus otherwise known as the Benghazi hearings, not to be outdone by the even bigger circus of the I.R.S. hearings, then you know that multiple accounts of extremely disturbing evidence has come forward, yet the White House and the Democrats insist on obstructing justice at every level. They know if they do not run constant interference, Obama will eventually be found guilty as hell for the crimes he’s committed. From what I can gather, it looks like he’s guilty of selling arms to terrorists (aka treason), and that line of inquiry in my estimate is ultimately what will end his presidency. That presumes one of the other scandals does not beat the Benghazi Committee to a conviction.  
 
We know Obama ordered the targeting of conservative Tea Party groups to about the same extent everyone knows OJ killed Nicole. Every time it looks like we’ve found the glove that fits Obama, it turns out to be another isotonerner either too big or too small, so Obama slithers away unscathed. Personally, I am pretty sure his luck is running out. The most recent example of the Obama slither was with the Lois Lerner emails that vanished. Find me an American willing to admit publicly they think that was an accident. PA-LEASE.
 
Obama has been such an abysmal failure in ALL of his endeavors as President, its no wonder he’s taken short cuts, and those short cuts have resulted in mistakes. Normally those mistakes come in the form of one or several laws being broken, and some additional cost to you the taxpayer. That’s just with regard to Obama’s incompetence. Trey brings up the issue of Obama using the Constitution as a punchline, because it seems like almost daily Obama twists the meaning of the document into some perversion of its original intent to devise a new un-American idea. Trey was right. The only way to REALLY deal with Obama is to IMPEACH him, and get him out of office. 
 
If you are wondering WHY that has not happened yet, read WHY HASN’T BARACK OBAMA BEEN IMPEACHED? The article goes into detail about why impeachment is not really a viable option for us right now. CRIMINAL PROSECUTION RATHER THAN IMPEACHMENT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION. Maybe that has something to do with OBAMA HIRING A TOP NOTCH DEFENSE LAWYER A WAYS BACK.
 
trey-gowdy
If there is one force in Congress that makes President Obama’s knees knock together in terror it’s likely to be Rep. Trey Gowdy.
Gowdy has a reputation for straight-talk, never sugar coating the truth, and relentlessly pursuing the facts when investigating cases of government corruption, a task that keeps him quite busy these days.
The South Carolina congressman recently released a statement sharing his thoughts on the unanimous Supreme Court decision that labeled President Obama’s recess appointments as unconstitutional.
As has come to be expected from the passionate speaker, he nails the president to the wall for attempting to redefine the plain language of the Constitution, stating that since Obama taught constitutional law, he ought to know better.
The scathing rebuke also defined the president’s prime responsibility as making sure that the Constitution is followed, not “outmaneuvered.”
via TPNN:
Congressman Trey Gowdy commented on the Supreme Court’s unanimous 9-0 decision to strike down Obama’s “recess” appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) when the Senate was actually in session. Congressman Gowdy says that it’s Obama’s job to follow the Constitution, not outmaneuver it for political expediency.
Gowdy said that Obama doesn’t get to change the definition of the word “recess,” just to fit his political whims, and that Obama should know better, since he claims to be a constitutional expert.
Here’s Gowdy’s full statement released on his website:
Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) released this statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision striking down the President’s NLRB “recess” appointments as unconstitutional:
“These ‘recess’ appointments were void ab initio.  Even a cursory understanding of the Constitution dictates the conclusion that the definition of ‘recess’ does not change depending upon which political party is in power, which is why the Supreme Court ruled 9-0.”
“For the President, who once taught constitutional law, to force the Supreme Court to do what the plain language of the Constitution makes clear is not leadership.  In the process, he has left the NLRB in a state of legal flux and compromised litigants, employees, and employers. “
“The Constitution is not a tool to be wielded for political expediency.  It is the supreme law of the land and the President’s responsibility is to take care that it is followed, not outmaneuvered.”
Trey Gowdy knocked this one out of the park. The role of the president is to ensure that the Constitution is followed, the laws of the land are enforced, and the country is safe from threats. He has no right or authority to bypass Congress or redefine the Constitution to suit his agenda.
Unfortunately, it appears that despite all of the resistance from both conservatives and liberals regarding his abuse of power, Obama still wants to “go it alone” and try forcing his agenda through without the consent of Congress, and as a result, the American people.
It’s time for this shenanigans to be brought to an end, and it appears the only way for that to happen is impeachment.

Tony Perkins' Christian-Persecution Report Highlights Persecution of Tony Perkins

Tony Perkins' Christian-Persecution Report Highlights Persecution of Tony Perkins

The Family Research Council came out yesterday with a report on "hostility to religion in America," a collection of anecdotes from the past 14 years supposedly illustrating the persecution of conservative Christians in the U.S.
Some anecdotes highlighted in the report are troubling incidents that FRC admits were later rectified. Others are incidents that we might not all count as examples of religious hostility — for instance Miss USA contestant Carrie Prejean being “mocked and ridiculed” for her answer to a question on same-sex marriage in 2009. Still others are stories of dubious accuracy — for instance, the story of a girl in Florida supposedly punished for praying at school, who just so happened to be the daughter of the man in charge of promoting Todd Starnes’ book on Christian persecution.
And then there was this:
Minister’s Invitation to National Prayer Luncheon Revoked because of His Comments on Homosexuality in the Military – February 2010*
An ordained minister and Marine Corps veteran was punished for speaking out on a topic unrelated to his planned comments at the National Prayer Luncheon at Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, D.C. The minister criticized President Obama’s call to end the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, resulting in his invitation to speak at the National Prayer Luncheon being rescinded. The minister criticized the action as “black-listing” to suppress unwanted viewpoints.
Who is this unnamed minister who was disinvited from the National Prayer Luncheon? He wasn’t just a minister who had criticized “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal. He was none other than the Family Research Council’s own president Tony Perkins.
This attempt to gloss over Perkins’ identity to make him seem like an innocent bystander to a vast anti-Christian agenda highlights a key strategy in the Religious Right’s persecution narrative. Like David and Jason Benham, who lost a TV contract with HGTV after Right Wing Watch reported on their vocal and public anti-gay, anti-choice activism (and who are also featured in FRC’s report), Tony Perkins is not just a private citizen who holds anti-gay views. He’s the leader of a major organization that opposed the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” with misleading claims and demeaning rhetoric. You can agree or disagree with Perkins being disinvited from the prayer luncheon. But FRC would like us to believe that disagreement with Tony Perkins is the very same thing as hostility to religion.

Your W, T, and F of the Day Brought to You by Jen Psaki and the US Department of State



Your W, T, and F of the Day Brought to You by Jen Psaki and the US Department of State

The State Department’s spokesman, Jen Psaki, was asked about Hamas’s role in the unity government within the Palestinian territory.
QUESTION: Well, what about the – what about Palestinian President Abbas sending a strong message to Hamas? I mean, you are recognizing his government, of which Hamas is a part. I mean, doesn’t he bear some responsibility for reining in Hamas?
MS. PSAKI: We don’t recognize governments. Hamas is not a part of the technocratic government. We certainly expect –
QUESTION: It’s a unity government of which Hamas is –
MS. PSAKI: Let me finish. We certainly expect President Abbas to do everything in his power to prevent rocket attacks and to condemn violence, and he has made a range of those calls. But we’re conveying the same message to him as well about the need to exercise restraint and de-escalate the situation on the ground.
….
MS. PSAKI: Well, we have no evidence that Hamas plays any role in the interim technocratic government. And as far as we know, there have also been no steps taken for the implementation of the reconciliation. And obviously, as I mentioned yesterday, given the situation on the ground, it’s difficult to see how the reconciliation process can move forward in the current atmosphere.
Here, via the Guardian on June 2, 2014, is this headline:
Palestinian unity government of Fatah and Hamas sworn in
The article goes on to point out
Despite the US secretary of state, John Kerry, telephoning the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to express “concern about Hamas’s role in any such government” ahead of the ceremony, the US said on Monday night that it would work with the new government but that it would be “watching closely to ensure that it upholds principles that President Abbas reiterated today”, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
. . . .
Since then the West Bank has been governed by Abbas and Fatah and Gaza by Hamas, which is regarded as a terrorist group in many capitals.
The swearing-in ceremony in the West Bank city of Ramallah came Netanyahu appealed to the international community not to rush into recognising the new government, largely made up of technocrats.
Basically this entire administration just makes sh*t up and runs with it.

State Department Rebukes Israel for Arrest of American Teen

State Department Rebukes Israel for Arrest of American Teen


Text  



Israeli officials have taken an American teenager into custody, a State Department spokeswoman confirmed in a statement calling for a “credible” investigation into whether he was beaten by police.
“We can confirm that Tariq Khdeir, an American citizen, is being held by Israeli authorities in Jerusalem,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki said. “We are profoundly troubled by reports that he was severely beaten while in police custody and strongly condemn any excessive use of force. We are calling for a speedy, transparent and credible investigation and full accountability for any excessive use of force.”
WTSP, a local Tampa media outlet, explains that the high-school student was in Israel “attending a demonstration following the death of his cousin, Mohammed Abu Khdeir,” a 16-year-old who “was killed by a suspected Israeli extremist in a revenge attack following the deaths of three Israeli teens who were abducted in the West Bank last month.”
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to find Khdeir’s killers. “We don’t know yet the motives or the identities of the perpetrators, but we will. We will bring to justice the criminals responsible for this despicable crime, whoever they may be,” Netanyahu said. “Murder, riots, incitement, vigilantism — they have no place in our democracy.”
Psaki “reiterate[d] our grave concern about the increasing violent incidents, and call on all sides to take steps to restore calm and prevent harm to innocents.”

Google executive, police say

Prostitute accused in yacht overdose death of Google executive, police say


Surveillance footage from the yacht shows the suspect, Alix Tichelman, 26, stepping over the 51-year-old victim's body to finish a glass of wine and then lower a blind before leaving the boat, Santa Cruz police said Tuesday.
A high-end prostitute has been arrested on suspicion of murder after injecting heroin into a Google executive on his yacht in Santa Cruz and leaving him to die when he overdosed, according to police and a newspaper.
Surveillance footage from the yacht shows the suspect, Alix Tichelman, 26, gather her belongings, including the heroin and needles, step over the 51-year-old victim's body to finish a glass of wine and then lower a blind before leaving the boat, Santa Cruz police said Tuesday.
Authorities said Tichelman, of Folsom, did not provide first aid or call 911 as the man suffered medical complications and went unconscious during the November overdose. His body was discovered the next morning by the boat's captain, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported.
"She showed no regard for him. She was just trying to cover her tracks," Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark told the Sentinel.
Tichelman was arrested on July 4 after police said a detective lured her back to the Santa Cruz area by posing as a potential client and reaching agreement on a price of more than $1,000.
She was booked into Santa Cruz County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder, destruction of evidence and transporting and providing narcotics. It was not immediately clear whether she had an attorney.
The Sentinel identified the victim as Forrest Timothy Hayes, a Google executive and father of five, and said the overdose occurred on his 50-foot yacht, Escape, at the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor.
Tichelman, who boasted she had more than 200 clients, met her clients through a website, police said.
