Shut Up And Make Me A Taco “Moonbeam”

Hundreds of buildings have been destroyed and vast areas of land have been badly scorched in recent weeks in the state of California.  Last week’s wildfire was driven by Santa Ana winds, low humidity and parched ground.

Nearly 200,000 residents were evacuated from their homes, with many forced to flee in the middle of the night as the flames rapidly spread.

Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown said vast fires, such as the ones that have ravaged southern California in recent days, "could happen every year or every few years. We're facing a new reality in this state, where fires threaten people's lives, their properties, their neighborhoods, and of course billions and billions of dollars.  With climate change, some scientists are saying southern California is literally burning up."

“The Governor has sought to contrast California’s approach to tackling the climate challenge with federal rollbacks led by the Trump administration, saying that while the White House declares war on climate science and retreats from the Paris Agreement, California is doing the opposite and taking action,’” the Sacramento Bee reported.

Following the president’s announcement that the U.S. was leaving the Paris Climate Accord, Moonbeam said, “It is against the facts. It is against science. It is against reality itself. We know we have to decarbonize our future. If we don’t, it is a horror. People will die. Habitat will be destroyed. Seas will rise. Insects will spread in areas they never have before. This is not a game. It is not politics to talk to your base. It is humanity and whether it makes it through the 21st century. California will stay the course." 

In an interview with 60 Minutes, the Marxist idiot told Bill Whitaker the president was wrong to withdraw. "That's a preposterous idea, not even a shred of truth in that statement," Brown said. "I don't think President Trump has a fear of the Lord, the fear of the wrath of God, which leads one to more humility...and this is such a reckless disregard for the truth and for the existential consequences that can be unleashed."

Well, the truth is, Brown is at war with Donald Trump.  California has always had wildfires and droughts, earthquakes and mudslides.  Just check the website for CalFire.  They’ve maintained records dating back to 1943.

The Accord was signed in April 2016.  You can’t blame Trump.  He’s only been in office for eleven months.  The last time I checked he can’t make it rain.

Benghazi Deathtrap: Back-Up Was Never Coming

We heard all last week that CBS was planning on airing a segment on “60 Minutes” about the al-Qaeda assault on the consulate in Benghazi in which four Americans were murdered after being abandoned by the United States government. 

Figuring it would be the usual fare of propaganda and cover-up that is the hallmark of CBS and the rest of the central planning stenographers; I made a decision to DVR it and watch the Green Bay Packers play the Minnesota Vikings instead.

We know that The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer watched the assault from the White House in real time.

The attack began at 9:40 PM (3:40PM Washington time) and ended around 4:00AM (10:00PM Washington time).  This was in the middle of the business day and everybody was watching in the White House, CIA, State Department and the Pentagon.

The Liar-in-Chief was one of those in the Situation Room watching.  He was front and center in this travesty.

In the open for the segment Lara Logan said,

“When Chris Stevens was killed in Benghazi, Libya, on the anniversary of September 11th last year, it was only the sixth time that the United States had lost an ambassador to its enemies. The events of that night have been overshadowed by misinformation, confusion and intense partisanship. But for those who lived through it, there's nothing confusing about what happened, and they share a sense of profound frustration because they say they saw it coming.”

Notice that Logan’s narrative omits the names of Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.

Logan rejoins to her producer, Max McClellan that this highly charged story has political implications and she was concerned about the “extraordinary amount of pressure” being placed on “people involved not to talk.”

“In this story, you had to work really hard to find the facts and not be seduced by anybody. So, we left about 98 percent of what we learned on the floor—didn't even report it—because unless we could substantiate it with primary sources that we truly trusted and whose motivations we trusted, then we didn't even go there.”

The administration cracked down hard on leakers.  No one wanted to put anything in writing.  Everybody was terrified to talk about the filthy lies told over and over again by the White House and Hillary Clinton.  Everybody, that is, except Andy Woods and Deputy Chief of Mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks.

When four Americans were killed in a flash of hatred and barbarism in Benghazi 388 days ago the political finger-pointing began.  Few knew exactly what happened that night.

This president and his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, do know.  They have covered up and obfuscated the truth.

The guard who spoke with CBS noted that Al Qaeda tried to kill a British ambassador in Benghazi three months before the attack on the anniversary of 9/11. He added that the terror group said online that it would attack the Red Cross, the British, and then the Americans in Benghazi.

From September 12, 2012 until today this administration has attempted to fend of criticism that “someone” gave the order to stand down.

Fighter jets could have been at Benghazi in an hour.  Commandos could have arrived within three hours according to former Marine Corps officer and Reagan Administration senior Pentagon officer Francis “Bing” West.  No forces were dispatched from Sigonella.

The noose is tightening.  The herd of possible culprits is thinning. 

What difference, at this point, does it make?

The Preezy Of The United Steezy And Hilla The Hun: Did They Reach Climax?

The 60 Minutes interview with Obama and Clinton aired on January 27, 2013.  CBS, at their website, described the interview this way:

There are few people we think we know more about than President Barack Obama and outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and everyone has an opinion about their politics, their marriages and a rivalry that is one of the richest in American history.

On Friday, we had the opportunity to sit down with the two of them side by side. The White House offered us 30 minutes, barely enough time to scratch the surface of their complicated personal and professional relationship, let alone discuss their policies on Iran and Israel, Russia and China, Egypt and Libya. There has been much speculation about their evolution from bitter opponents to partners in the corridors of power and the motivation for doing this interview. Now, you can be the judge.

Thank you for that invitation to be the judge.  Allow me to state for the record that Hillary Clinton is a woman who continues to be so attracted to power that she is willing to lie for it and equally willing to serve as an accomplice to other liars.

During the primaries, in the run-up to the 2008 general election, Christopher Hitchens wrote a piece for Slate entitled, The Case Against Hillary Clinton.  You really should read it.

But let’s not take the Hitchens’ assessment as our sole reason for the pejorative of liar when describing Hillary.

Carl Bernstein, yes that Bernstein, revealed in a March 26, 2008 opinion piece at the Puffington Host that:

“Hillary Clinton has many admirable qualities, but candor and openness and transparency and a commitment to well-established fact have not been notable among them. The indisputable elements of her Bosnian adventure affirm (again) the reluctant conclusion I reached in the final chapter of A Woman In Charge, my biography of her published last June:

"Since her Arkansas years [I wrote], Hillary Rodham Clinton has always had a difficult relationship with the truth... [J]udged against the facts, she has often chosen to obfuscate, omit, and avoid. It is an understatement by now that she has been known to apprehend truths about herself and the events of her life that others do not exactly share." [italics added]

[SNIP]

Her record as a public person is replete with "misstatements" and elisions and retracted and redacted and revoked assertions...

Returning to the 60 Minutes interview Clinton said, "I certainly am grateful for the president's steady hand and hard questions and thoughtful analysis on what we should and shouldn't do." She described their relationship as "very warm, close."

"I think there's a sense of understanding that sometimes doesn't even take words," she said. "We have similar views, similar experiences that I think provide a bond that may seem unlikely to some, but really has been at the core of our relationship over the past four years."

Such an astonishing love-in would have seemed unimaginable in 2008, when Obama and Clinton were locked in a brutal, bruising primary battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The 60 Minutes interview aired on the fifth anniversary of the weekend Obama handily defeated Clinton in the South Carolina primary. That contest followed a particularly nasty leadup, when Bill Clinton angered African-Americans in the state when the former president, campaigning for his wife, described Obama's candidacy as a "fairy tale."

Many of the most incendiary rumors about Obama, including long disproven allegations that he's a Muslim and was born in Kenya, were propagated by Clinton supporters in 2008.

But what a difference four years, and a key cabinet position, has made between Obama and the woman who once derided him as woefully unprepared for the White House.

Given the slobbering praise in this ridiculous so-called “interview”, the Preezy of the United Steezy and Hilla The Hun need to wipe their mouths.  There’s still a tiny bit of bullshit around their lips.

UPDATE:

The day after the chucklefest, while appearing on Fox News's America's Newsroom, left-leaning contributor Kirsten Powers said:

“…it really was something you would expect from like the state-run media. You know, it was that kind of level of propaganda as far as I'm concerned. First of all, 60 Minutes was transparently being used as a campaign advertisement, which, you know, if they're okay with that that, then okay but, I…” 

“Well, I can understand maybe agreeing to the interview, asking, letting them have like maybe one softball question in the beginning, and then move on to more important things. But the reality is, this was a joke. I mean it really was.” 

“You look at it, and even, just not challenging basic things, like the President claiming that Hillary’s been a great Secretary of State in part because they have dismantled al Qaeda. Now, I'm sorry, it’s just, is anyone paying attention to what’s going on in North Africa? Why is the President not asked about Algeria, Mali, Libya?” 

“I mean, you know, these are front and center in the news right now. And the next question after he says this is, “I have to ask you: what's the date of expiration of this endorsement?” 

“That's his follow-up question to the President saying that al Qaeda has been dismantled.” 

“…the other thing is that probably the first half pf the interview, it’s just old news. We already know how the Secretary of State was chosen. We already know about the back and forth. This already has been reported on. This is not new information like he was getting new insight into how this came about and how they got over their relationship. I mean, it really was just a campaign endorsement.”

A little bit later, Powers tweeted this:

Alarming that President Obama seems to think that the sucking up that CBS did was journalism, but Fox News is the problem.

60 Minutes Interview With Romney And Ryan

Calling Myself The Best President Ever Would Have Sounded A Little Arrogant

Many conservative blogs have seized on the recent 60 Minutes interview of President Obama by CBS’s Steve Kroft.  The focus of the interview was not the televised version—rather the comment that, as it turned out, was an outtake at the end of the recorded interview.

"As you yourself said, Steve, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president—with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR and Lincoln. You know, just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history," Obama said, according to the aforementioned clip that never made it to broadcast.

I get the fact that this megalomaniacal, narcissistic sociopath believes he saved us from a great depression.  I get that this is all part of The Won’s legendary humility, but really…the fourth best president evah?

I am reminded of the 1992 Republican National Convention at which former President Ronald Reagan said, “Well, let me tell you something; I knew Thomas Jefferson. He was a friend of mine and, Governor…You're no Thomas Jefferson!”

Charles Krauthammer offered some sage advice for Captain Humility:  “When a Roman conquering general returned and had a triumphal procession in Rome, with the crowds cheering and calling him all kinds of godly names, there was a courtier in the back of the chariot who whispered in his ear, ‘Remember thou art but a mortal.’  Obama ought to hire that guy.  He’s old, but I think he’s still around.”
