Obamacare Schadenfreudarama, by Jonah Goldberg
Best read of the month: "Schadenfreudarama: ...In
every tale of hubris, the transgressor is eventually slapped across the face with the
semi-frozen flounder of reality."
And more on rampant navigator fraud:
Nov 13, 2013:
POTUS
POTUS has two main jobs. (1) being the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, and (2) executing the
laws that have been passed by Congress.
Instead, the POTUS currently in office: reads teleprompter speeches, is absent when
things happen that he later reads about in the NYTimes, goes to fundraisers and celebrity shows and on
vacation, throws lavish expensive parties, and plays golf. He plays video war games with drones, killing 10 civilians to every combat target. He shakes
the hands of military personnel who salute. He employs feeble rules of engagement that have killed multiple times more men in Afghanistan
under his watch than were killed in the entire Bush presidency. He uses appointments and
personnel like pawns, even destroying the careers of Generals, such as the one whom he
appointed head of the CIA. He is in parts unknown (with Reggie?) when an Ambassador and
American heroes are murdered in
Benghazi. He appoints people to office for political expediency rather than competency,
and keeps around and gives unwarranted power
to unappointed "advisers", such as one
born in an enemy country.
He lets the NSA run wild spying on citizens and friends, domestic and foreign, but somehow
fails to catch, deport
and/or timely prosecute terrorists such as the Fort Hood shooter, and
the Boston bombers. He lets fraud, waste and corruption burgeon to historic proportions in HHS and other federal agencies, and in
various programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
He uses the IRS and the
ATF and the EPA as his political henchmen. His Justice Department fails and refuses to investigate or indict
"special interest groups" and refuses to enforce laws POTUS just doesn't like. He is a pathological
liar for whom the liberal media and the White House barker-in-chief spin and cover, and his lying and posturing
go back his entire largely undisclosed life. In violation of equal protection, he exempts his political
supporters from the enforcement of laws, while targeting his political opponents for doing little or nothing wrong.
He spends taxpayer dollars for bribery, such as money funneled to his Obamacare navigators and Stimulus
payola to
campaign contributors who launder it through corporations destined for bankrupcy.
He turns his former campaign machine
into a fund-raising organization, OFA, that is an obvious conflict of interest. He claims to know
nothing about the multiple and multifarious
scandals that have plagued his administration, and neither do his appointees. He threatens the press. He bows to a Saudi king. He plays
cards with a companion while (finally) allowing a raid on bin Laden, then does a peacock walk down a red carpet to
take credit for his ostensible Oscar-winning performance.
He illegally uses our military to invade a country without Congressional authorization.
He astronomically increases the unemployment rolls and the food stamp rolls and government entitlements.
He increases the federal debt more than all prior presidents combined.
He blames everyone else for everything that goes wrong, while taking actual hands-on responsibility for none of it.
And he presides over the biggest administrative fuckup in the history of the United States. (All the while FLOTUS
traipses around at taxpayer expense, bedecked in getups that look like they came from Walmart clearance racks, with an entourage reminiscent
of that of the wife of a third-world dictator.)

And he's responsible for nothing...

the photo op was over, and playing cards with one of his boys, just forget about that.)

We Stand With Ezra
Stand with Ezra:
"After Ezra published the Danish cartoons of Mohammed, he was drawn into the bizarre world of Canada's
human rights commissions, with their illiberal censorship laws and biased legal procedures.
But instead of accepting that censorship, Ezra fought back -- at first, for himself and his magazine,
but then for all of Canada, leading the charge to strengthen freedom of speech. His 2009 book on the subject,
called Shakedown: How our Government is Undermining Democracy in the Name of Human Rights was a
national bestseller, and the winner of the Writer's Trust of Canada 'Best Canadian Political Book of the Last
25 Years'...

Congratulations to Lisa Macci on the Wade case win!
Download the third DCA court decision on out-of-control
parenting coordination, and order to recuse the biased
judge who relied on him. Good work, Lisa!
Decision includes information about judicial bias warranting recusal as well as guidance on what constitutes
an inappropriate referral for a psychological evaluation.
The Florida judge relied on the ridiculous musings of parenting coordinator Chicago attorney
Howard Rosenberg.

Go vets! Takedown of the barrycrap.
These comments were made by SirCubFan on Gretawire a few days ago:
"On Thursday, October 10, 2013 11:55 AM
"Storming the Barricades in Washington
"I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with
requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters
and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours.
"In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3x4 foot signs appeared all
over the country in the tens of thousands saying 'this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed
due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed,
specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts
were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or
freight companies.
"This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago. Millions of tax
dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly
to the White House."

Blighting the landscape with propaganda...
How many extra, unnecessary man-hours have been paid for to put up barricades amd security guards
at places such as Mount Vernon,
which is privately owned, as well open-air, customarily unmanned parks such as the Veterans Memorial (more
security there than was at Benghazi). Any
possibility that the National Park Service will cease its unconstitutional promotion of Islam? (And
where did THAT slush fund come from, and what does this have to do with the national parks?)
How
many man-hours to post propaganda notices on federal government websites
(as if files sitting on computers cost money). Bullshit such as closing military cemeteries in foreign countries.
The privately-owned restaurant in Constitution Hall in Philly that's been operating since the 1700s. Threats re
the privately-funded Service Academy sports games for "optics", according to the Office of Management and
Budget, OMB, which reports directly to the President. All faux. Apparently the real repercussions aren't
sufficient. (Wall street doesn't care; the stock market went UP the first day of the shut-down.)
The longer this goes, the better -- we'll see how much we don't really need.
Barry, of course, is off on another trip. [UPDATE: cancelled. Haha...]
From Larry Johnson at
No Quarter:
"Obama is spending your taxpayer dollars to post a guard at a monument [Lincoln Memorial] that normally is open
24 hours a day, seven days a week, and does not require any kind of controlled access. To now set up
barricades to prevent people from visiting these public sites is beyond petty. This is outrageous.
It is one thing to close the American History museum at the Smithsonian, which is a building you must enter
and houses artifacts that, if not closely guarded, could be stolen. But that's not the case for the
Lincoln Memorial or the Vietnam Memorial or the Jefferson Memorial or the WW II and Korean War memorials.
This is just pure vindictive chickenshit on the part of Obama and his group of thugs."
HAS MICHELLE ANTOINETTE LAID OFF HER ENTOURAGE YET? [Update: read
Thomas Sowell on the simple question of
who shut
down the government.]
[Further UPDATE, per Mark
Levin 10/03/13: the President is yammering in the media about the unrelated debt ceiling,
and "default", preparing to unilaterally seize control of the finances of the United States, which would destroy the
constitutional balance of powers. Obama thinks he's a fucking dictator, and the ignorantii are encouraging it,
a "full-blown constitutional crisis".]

Palin nails it:
Sep 22, 2013:
"The most significant thing that happened during the last government
shutdown was Clinton hooked up with Monica"
Sarah
Palin editorial at Breitbart is worth a read in its entirety. A few snippets:
Let's be clear. Republicans in Congress aren't advocating a government shutdown.
That's why they voted in the House to fully fund our bureaucracy while defunding Obamacare...
We're now, once again, subjected to the "anonymous sources" backstabbing game.
The Capitol Hill cowards are rushing to anonymously denounce Senator Cruz to any reporter
with a pad and pen...
More and more Americans are waking up to the nightmare of Obamacare
as its rollout continues. Hardworking families are losing their employer-provided health
care coverage. Businesses are cutting back their employees' hours to skirt Obamacare's mandates.
Americans barely scrapping by are discovering that Obamacare has made health care completely unaffordable...
When you're living on a fixed income, having to pay hundreds of dollars more each month
for health care will cut into your ability to pay for basic necessities like food, electricity,
or gas (which has increased 90% under Obama). Open your eyes, America. When the full reality of
Obamacare strikes home, we'll thank God that principled leaders like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee took a stand...
Whenever anything bad happens, the media blames
Republicans for it...[U]se me as a barometer. Over the years, the leftwing media has falsely and
irrationally accused me of everything from faking a pregnancy to abetting murder.
They lie...
We the People... Ted Cruz is speaking for us.

Navy Ship Yard: the psychopharmaceutical industry kills again.
Contrary to the breathless idiot anti-gun media reports (nincompoop Piers Morgan leading the pack, but also
MSN, Daily News, et al.), rushing to get the story out, it wasn't
an AR-15. It was Trazodone (PDF),
aided and abetted by the sick-fuck rule that military personnel, such as unnecessary
victim Marty Bodrog
(more)
aren't permitted to be armed on military bases.
Sep 17, 2013:
Enough! Is there no end to the scandals, the corruption, the incompetency, the screwing of the economy,
and the
undermining of the United States? Benghazi and the previous gun running operations were bad enough. But
now Obama
knowingly is arming Al Qaeda contrary to U.S. law:
Not only did we continue to dump weapons and cash on the Muslim
Brotherhood leadership of Egypt (and their politicians are openly
talking about war with us), but now Obama is planning on giving arms to
the Syrian rebels in the civil war against Assad...
Is there no end to the cognitive dissonance and delusions of those who keep
spinning the facts and defending this man? I used to think that Carter and Bush II were bad presidents...
Sep 15, 2013:
About Obama, the Syria thing, and Putin stepping in to take over...

How to irritate liz, Method #478:
Try to act "in the know" talking or writing about a subject you really know nothing about, say law or medicine, by
using an acronym you have just plucked out of your ass or by using a real acronym unnecessarily and/or
in the wrong context.
This is related to How to irritate liz, Method #98: Use acronyms, especially newly invented acronyms,
freely, liberally and completely unnecessarily, which acronyms you don't define (or you do define but
there are so many of
them that who the hell can remember all the definitions) and you do this because (a) you think that faux codespeak
makes you sound hip and cool, or (b) you're a low-level bureaucratic or public education nincompoop
who has been indoctrinated by nitwit-speak training materials you actually took seriously, or
(c) you are in fact a nitwit.
Also see, How to irritate liz, Method #42: Tell me
gossip about people I don't know (and wouldn't be interested in if I did),
referring to them only by first name and without any context even making an
attempt to tell me who they are and why I should
give a shit.

Andrew Bacevich: why we should not take action in Syria.
Interview on Bill Moyers with
Andrew Bacevich, "who served for
23 years in the military before becoming a professor at Boston University.
His new book, Breach of Trust: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers and Their Country,
asks whether our reliance on a professional military rather than a citizen's army has
lured us into a morass of endless war -- a trap that threatens not only our global reputation but
democracy itself." (Prof. Bacovich, USMA grad, has been a vocal critic of our invasion of Iraq.)
Sep 04, 2013:
Ted Cruz! "The U.S. is not Al-Qaeda's Air Force".
At
Breitbart: While Syrian President Bashar Assad is certainly
a ruthless dictator, the forces aligned against him are dominated by jihadis
and elements of terrorist organizations. Cruz noted that Americans didn't enlist
in the military to "serve as Al-Qaeda's Air Force."
