Going whole quahog: Chaffee hammers Hilly - WaPo
: “Lincoln Chafee, a former U.S. senator and governor from Rhode Island, announced Thursday that he is exploring a run for the Democratic presidential nomination. And unlike other potential Clinton challengers, Chafee appears to be spoiling for a fight. …Chafee did not mince words when he said Clinton's 2002 Senate vote to authorize military action in Iraq should disqualify her from becoming commander in chief. ‘I don't think anybody should be president of the United States that made that mistake,’ Chafee said. ‘It's a huge mistake and we live with broad, broad ramifications today — of instability not only in the Middle East but far beyond and the loss of American credibility. There were no weapons of mass destruction.’ Chafee, who was a Republican at the time, was the only senator from his party to vote against the Iraq war authorization.”

Wounded pride - Former President Bill Clinton is pushing back on a NYT report that described him thusly: “…his hearing has faded. With his head of white hair and frail frame, he looks older than his 68 years.” An attendee of a recent private fundraiser for the Clinton Foundation delivered the talking points to Politico, in which Bubba called the piece “creative writing.” The NYT report says that while Hilly insiders will grant the former president considerable access, a senior aide will serve as his minder. -Fox News
WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE
London’s big dig, a $23 billion underground commuter line called Crossrail, has become something of a ghoulish party for archeologists. Thus far, tunnel excavation has yielded a section of a medieval barge, a Bronze Age wooden walkway and the remains of a Mesolithic campfire. New Yorker contributor Sam Knight describes the fascinating and spooky layers of history being unearthed at the dig’s largest site, the Bedlam burial ground. Archeologists are literally working the graveyard shift on the acre of land in the heart of the financial district as they unearth thousands of bodies. The dig contains victims of the bubonic plague of 1655, a volcanic eruption in 1258 and the remains of a Roman cemetery that contained 5,000 skeletons. “There is a lot of death here in Liverpool Street,” Jay Carver, Crossrail’s lead archeologist, said “It is a reservoir of information.” -Fox News

Ryan: Walker has a ‘really good chance’ to win nomination - During an interview Thursday with a Milwaukee television station, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., had kind words to offer for his fellow Wisconsinite, Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis. “I think he’s got a really good chance and I look forward to seeing how it goes for him,” Ryan said. The 2012 Republican vice presidential candidate added, “I think … people are taking great interest in his candidacy.”

SENATORS FACE HEAT OVER IRAN BILL
A group founded by former Sens. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., Norm Coleman, R-Minn., Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Saxby Chambliss R-Ga., is putting $650,000 towards hitting current members of the Senate who have not pledged their support of a bill that would give Congress a say over the Iranian nuclear deal. The ad shows a white van weaving through traffic as warnings from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu play. In the close of the ad, the van explodes atop a parking garage. From the ad against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., “Tell Senator Shaheen: No Iran nuclear deal without congressional approval. Before it’s too late.” The American Security Initiative is set to launch a similar ad today against Sen. Chris Coons D-Del. The group is also set to air ads thanking Senators who have pledged their support of Sen. Bob Corker’s, R-Tenn., bill.

First of thousands of Syrians Resettled in ….. North Texas
(pamelageller.com) - The FBI admits that they cannot properly screen the Syrians, while the US State Department is telling the media that 10,000 Syrians will be here soon. Syria, home of the Islamic State...Al hijrah, jihad by immigration. And while the genocide of Christians is ongoing in Syria, over 90% of the Syrians who are being brought to America are Muslims. It’s a catastrophe. The top five states targeted for Syrian Muslim resettlement are California, Illinois, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas. Meanwhile, dozens of American jihadis who fought in the war in Iraq and Syria have returned to the United States, equipped with the training they used fighting either for or against ISIS, according to one federal official. Maybe the State Department can reunite these two very similar Muslim groups. http://pamelageller.com/2015/04/first-of-thousands-of-syrians-resettled-in-north-texas.html/

In 1799, as Napoleon Bonaparte's army was besieging the city of Acre, Napoleon issued a letter, offering the Palestine as a homeland to the Jews, referring to them as "Rightful heirs of Palestine." Above, a painting depicting the siege of Acre.
A British Conference on Israel's Right to Exist: Really?
(George Phillips) - Iran has violated the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty time after time, often undetected; it also continues to violate Article 2, clause 4, of the United Nations Charter... "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state..." During the British Mandate, the entire area was known as Palestine. The official listing for "Place of Birth" on all passports at the time -- for everyone, including Jews -- was Palestine. One can only hope that what clearly seems such a fatally dangerous deal -- that threatens the existence of not only Israel, the Middle East and Europe, but, with Iran's intercontinental ballistic missile program, also the United States -- will not be allowed to happen. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5534/israel-right-to-exist-conference

Hanoi Kerry: Congress Vote Cannot Interfere With Iran Deal
(totalconservative.com) - Secretary of State Hanoi John Kerry is perfectly fine with Congress having a vote on the nuclear deal he put together with Iran…just as long as that vote doesn’t actually have any effect on what he accomplished...Speaking with PBS’ NewsHour, Hanoi Kerry said that any bill that Congress came up with must not “assault presidential authority and the Constitution.” Hearing this administration talk about presidential authority and the Constitution is enough to angry up the blood, but let’s see what else Hanoi Kerry has to say about these concepts. “Congress is going to vote,” he said. “Congress can vote any day it wants to. You know, the majority leader has the right to bring something to the floor and have a vote. So this is really, I think, a little bit excessive. The truth is, also, Congress will have to vote to lift, ultimately, some of the sanctions which are congressionally mandated. So we all understand the process here and I just think we need to be serious in a way that does not interfere with the president’s ability to pursue the foreign policy interests of our nation.” Ah. Suddenly this administration is worried about the separation of powers. How droll. http://totalconservative.com/kerry-congress-vote-cannot-interfere-with-iran-deal/

nObama Strangles the Monroe Doctrine and Embraces Communists
(Terresa Monroe-Hamilton) - I wrote some time ago on how Hanoi John Kerry went to Latin America and declared the Monroe Doctrine dead. nObama just finalized it in Cuba...The Monroe Doctrine has been in place since 1823 and has long warned America’s enemies to not even THINK about using South America as a back door to bring Communism and aggression to our doorstep. Well, nObama has thrown that proverbial door wide open to South America and has invited in every enemy we have. Hell, he’s thrown our door at the borders open inviting them into the US as well. He wants America at war and brought to her knees and he’s really going for it now. As Doug Ross pointed out, the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 brought us to the very brink of nuclear war. The Monroe Doctrine stopped that apocalyptic nightmare from becoming a reality. Kennedy “cited the Monroe Doctrine as a basis for America’s ‘eyeball-to-eyeball’ confrontation with the Soviet Union that had embarked on a campaign to install ballistic missiles on Cuban soil.” That was before the Democrats went full blown Marxist and decided to destroy America from within her own shores. nObama has now stated for the world that the US will no longer act to resist overseas influence in the Western Hemisphere. http://noisyroom.net/blog/2015/04/12/obama-strangles-the-monroe-doctrine-and-embraces-latin-dictatorships-communists-and-fascists/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Noisyroomnet+%28NoisyRoom.net%29

Judge Jeanine Destroys Hilly’s Sham of Caring
(youtube.com) - Judge Jeanine Pirro eviscerated former and expected presidential candidate Hilly Clinton during her “Opening Statement” Saturday, saying that although she’d welcome a woman president, Clinton clearly isn’t that woman... “I want someone who says what she means, and means what she says,” she said. “I want someone who understands and respects the Judeo-Christian ethics upon which this country was founded. I want someone who cares about us, who cares about the American people,” she said, emphasizing “American.” “Hilly Clinton is not that person.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee93Kpd6mds

Ideological Brothers nObama And Castro Overlooking “U.S. Mistakes”
(rickwells.us) - More fundamental change is being imposed by nObama on behalf of his enablers. We would be wrong to believe that this shift nObama is referring to is one away from the tyranny of the Cuban model...It is our nation, flooded by the populations of those countries whose leaders he sits among, that will be shifting further away from free representative government. After taking time to blast the U.S. for opposing his nation’s tyrannical regime in the past, the communist from Cuba expressed his great admiration for the lifelong communist who has seized control of America saying, “In my opinion ‘president’ nObama is an honest man.” That’s a hasty opinion to announce to the world based solely upon skimming the two official autobiographical fairy tales this “honest man” had other America-haters write for him. That deception alone, discounting the cover to cover fraudulence, should disqualify him from the Cuban’s overly generous characterization. nObama was raised and mentored by communists sworn to the destruction of America and he continues his work today as he cozies up to the Cuban communists. What is there for his comrade not to like? If Raul had a son, he’d act like nObama. http://www.rickwells.us/cozy-communist-comrades-ideological-brothers-obama-and-castro-overlooking-u-s-mistakes-of-the-past/

nObama’s Communist Road Show
(.rickwells.us) - The signs are unmistakable. nObama is actively engaged in the communist redistribution of our wealth around the world, with his focus currently on the founding of a regional “Americas” government in the Western Hemisphere...We are borrowing the money that he is throwing away to the other nations of “the Americas,” massively elevating our debt while lowering our standard of living and only marginally raising theirs. It’s a critical component in the acceptance by the American people of a world government, reducing the level of resistance once the former identities and financial disincentives are sufficiently diluted. nObama uses Cuba and Raul Castro as the poster child for our new direction towards communism, a move he initiated months ago in preparation for this event. Telling points in his address include his statement in which he admits to a realignment and more of his destructive fundamental change, saying, “Alongside our shift towards Cuba,” and then goes on to describe the other handouts that he has prepared for the rest of the nations represented. http://www.rickwells.us/obamas-communist-road-show-alongside-our-shift-towards-cuba-redistributing-u-s-wealth-to-the-americas/

The United Nations Controls Calif – At Mercy Of Hijacked State Govt
(rickwells.us) - There are those who feel that California is somehow deserving of their current water wars and drought, that they have brought it upon themselves through their reckless environmental activism and the accompanying socialist policies...That is true if in fact the elections are representative of the will of the people. But what if they aren’t? What if that state’s government is a victim of the same hijacking that has taken place on a national scale? What if the United Nations has chosen California as the trigger point location for their takeover of the United States through economic and social collapse? While weaponized weather has long been suspected as one of the goals of the government’s spraying of chemtrails, with huge expenditures of the people’s resources wasted in the process, they have gotten away with pretending it simply isn’t happening. http://www.rickwells.us/the-united-nations-controls-california-powerless-citizens-at-mercy-of-hijacked-state-govt-drought-agenda-21-water-policies/

nObama Warns Parents: Your Kids Are Mine
(Cliff Kincaid) - President Barack nObama has issued a declaration on human sexuality and what constitutes moral and mental health for the nation. He is warning Christian parents that the federal government wants their kids...This is not how the story is being reported, however. For example, a story in Politico carries the headline, “Barack nObama denounces ‘conversion therapies’ for gays,” with the words “conversion therapies” in quotes, as if to suggest there’s some doubt that homosexuals can return to being straight. This is all too typical of the mentality that grips the major media and is designed to suggest that homosexuality is somehow natural and cannot be changed. But honest journalism, which is virtually non-existent when covering homosexuality, would take a different approach to the topic. http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obama-warns-parents-your-kids-are-mine/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email041315&utm_medium=email

The Greatest Threat to Our National Security
(Retired Adm. James A. Lyons) - When President-elect nObama declared that he was going to “fundamentally transform” America, not many Americans understood what that meant. They certainly did not understand that he did not believe in America’s exceptionalism and greatness...They were also unaware of his past Marxist indoctrination, blaming America for many of the world’s problems. Therefore, anything that undercuts and withdraws America’s power and influence is seen as being objectively progressive. This is fundamental to understanding why President nObama shows empathy with American’s enemies, e.g., Iran, Cuba, Russia, and China. It is also key to understanding our precipitous withdrawal from Iraq, as well as the loss of our influence in the region with the rise of Islam. President nObama apparently shares the view that the colonial powers unjustifiably suppressed Islam for the better part of two centuries. Therefore, the best way to rectify that situation is to withdraw the U.S. and let Islam rise again. Of course, this actually started under the Carter administration with the rise of Islamic fundamentalism when the Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah of Iran in 1979. http://www.aim.org/guest-column/the-greatest-threat-to-our-national-security/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email041315&utm_medium=email
Debunking the News
(burtprelutsky.com) - When State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki was asked if the administration still believes the trade of five high-ranking jihadists for one Army deserter was a good deal, her blithe response was that we are still able to monitor their activities. When a follow-up question mentioned that three of the five have already attempted to rejoin their fellow terrorists in order to kill Americans, she actually said that proved that our attempts to monitor their activities have been successful. It was at that point my head exploded.
But she is the least of our worries when you realize that even after our ambassador had to beat a hasty retreat out of Yemen and our Marines had to make good their last second getaway on civilian transport, after leaving their weapons behind, nObama continued to call Yemen one of his more notable successes. I suppose it qualifies if one also considers the Titanic, the Hindenburg and nObamaCare, success stories.
♦ Generally, when Democrats brag that they’re the ones with a sense of humor, pointing with pride to the likes of David Letterman, Bill Maher, Joy Behar and Jon Stewart, they only sound foolish. Unless you’re a registered Democrat, meaning that you are ready to laugh at any insult, no matter how lame, directed at Republicans, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything they say even slightly amusing.
On the other hand, their politicians, and not just loose lip Joe Biden, are always cracking me up. Just recently, dinky Harry Reid, 75, announced that he won’t be running for re-election in 2016. We all know that the only reason that dinky Harry is retiring is because after being the majority leader of the Senate, the second most powerful man in Washington, it’s no fun at all being just another nObama sock puppet. But, proving that he hasn’t lost his fabulous sense of whimsy, dinky Reid announced that the reason he won’t be seeking a sixth term is because “I want to be able to go out at the top of my game.” I haven’t stopped laughing since.
♦ Speaking of 2016, Hilly Clinton’s staff has informed the media that they should refrain from using the following words and terms in referring to her campaign: “polarizing,” “calculating,” “disingenuous,” “insincere,” “ambitious,” “inevitable,” “entitled,” “over-confident,” “secretive,” “will do anything to win,” “representing the past” and “out of touch.”
Because I try to be as chivalrous as the next guy – assuming the next guy isn’t Bill Clinton – I was wondering what words I could possibly still use in writing about her. But, then, I realized that they hadn’t banned “devious,” “cunning,” “cut-throat,” “nasty,” “Borgia-like,” “abusive,” “corrupt,” “vindictive,” “arrogant,” “snide,” “power-mad” and “reptilian,” and I realized I’d still be able to cover her campaign while abiding by her dictatorial edicts.
♦ On the subject of campaigns, we hear that a lot of women would vote for Republicans except they’re concerned that it would hasten the day that Roe v. Wade was over-turned. What they never explain is why after decades of sex education classes and a cornucopia of contraceptive pills and devices, abortions are still taking place in this country, and why that single issue should take precedence over national security, the economy, education, energy independence, a strong military and an abiding faith in the Constitution.
♦ For his part, Rand Paul seems to have based his entire campaign on the notion that only he can bring young voters into the GOP tent, but inasmuch as the singular attraction of a Paul presidency seems to be his willingness to legalize marijuana, they wouldn’t really be Republicans, they’d be stoners.
♦ On other fronts, the Justice Department’s "Operation Choke Point" is trying to put gun and ammo shops out of business by getting banks to shut down their accounts and refusing them business loans. By lumping those who legally sell firearms with telemarketers, home-based charities and loan sharks, Eric Holder’s storm troopers are pretending they’re only looking to go after those who engage in money laundering. And, naturally, we are being told that nObama, who has spent six years waging war on the Second Amendment, had nothing to do with it. It’s always just a providential coincidence with nObama, whether it involves Lois Lerner targeting the Tea Party or using Bowe Bergdahl to help him empty out Gitmo.
♦ When liberals bad-mouth America while praising left-wing sewers like Russia and Cuba, do they ever stop and ask themselves why so many people risk their lives trying to escape from paradise and so few, aside from fugitives like Edward Snowden and Assata Shakur (born JoAnne Byron), ever flee in the opposite direction?
Another question they would do well to ask themselves is if it were the Palestinians, whom they seem to adore, as opposed to Israel’s Jews, whom they openly despise, that possessed a nuclear bomb, would they be equally reluctant to exterminate the enemy?
♦ As of this moment, I am still hearing a number of reasons being floated as the possible motive behind Andreas Lubitz’s crashing the jetliner in the French Alps.
The two most popular seem to be a recurring depression that apparently failed to register with his employers at Lufthansa (which will be known as Losthansa once the lawsuits are finally paid off) and a possible breakup with an anonymous girlfriend. By this time, though, having seen numerous photos of Mr. Lubitz, my own theory is that he was a homosexual who either suffered from conflicted feelings about his orientation or, perhaps, had recently been dumped by a gay lover and been thrown into an emotional tailspin by feelings of heartbreak and abandonment.
All I know is that the last time I saw anyone who was so obviously effete, it was convicted Army spy Chelsea Manning (born Bradley Manning).
Whatever Lubitz’s motive may ultimately turn out to be, his murdering 149 innocent men, women and children, is the reason that I find myself more often hoping there’s a Hell than a Heaven.
The way I see it, good people often get to experience a great deal of heaven right here on earth, but far too many villains seem to evade their just deserts, and one can only hope they will eventually pay the ultimate price.
