The stupidity of trying terrorists in civilian courts

"The Obama administration's determination to give KSM and Umar Abdulmutallab their "day in court" is untenable. It is untenable as a matter of law and it is untenable as a matter of tradition. It is indeed, as Thomas Sowell holds, an obscenity. It is also untenable as a matter of politics." Obama and Holder's ignorant foolishness dissected again. You really have to wonder what these two are actually up to.

Obama’s ineptness clear after a year

“The bottom line: He isn’t a good politician. Politics is an art, and Obama’s basic competence is highly suspect. He lacks the personal radar an effective politician must have — the instinct to know when you’re on solid ground and when you’re tilting at windmills. Obama has spent a year tilting at windmills.

Global warming claims continue to melt away

Alarmist claims about global warming keep melting away. Now the UN's Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is supposed "o provide an authoritative assessment of scientific
evidence on climate change" is exposed as having used unprovable anecdotes as the basis for claims of melting glaciers. This a... week or so after the IPCC was forced to disown its claims that Himalayan glaciers would all melt by 2035. Bit by bit, this massive fraud is disintegating. But don't worry: exposure of the fraud won't stop Al Gore - or many of the others who have made good livings of the scam of global warming.

Washington, DC -- January 28, 2010

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Air Force detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of United States Air Force aircraft for Congressional Delegations (CODELs). According to the documents, obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Speaker’s military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol. The following are highlights from the recent release of about 2,000 documents:

  • Speaker Pelosi used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight. The average cost of an international CODEL is $228,563.33. Of the 103 Pelosi-led congressional delegations (CODEL), 31 trips included members of the House Speaker’s family.
  • One CODEL traveling from Washington, DC, through Tel Aviv, Israel to Baghdad, Iraq May 15-20, 2008, “to discuss matters of mutual concern with government leaders” included members of Congress and their spouses and cost $17,931 per hour in aircraft alone. Purchases for the CODEL included: Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey, Corona beer and several bottles of wine.
  • According to a “Memo for Record” from a March 29—April 7, 2007, CODEL that involved a stop in Israel, “CODEL could only bring Kosher items into the Hotel. Kosher alcohol for mixing beverages in the Delegation room was purchased on the local economy i.e. Bourbon, Whiskey, Scotch, Vodka, Gin, Triple Sec, Tequila, etc.”
  • The Department of Defense advanced a CODEL of 56 members of Congress and staff $60,000 to travel to Louisiana and Mississippi July 19-22, 2008, to “view flood relief advances from Hurricane Katrina.” The three-day trip cost the U.S. Air Force $65,505.46, exceeding authorized funding by $5,505.46.

“Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel. And these documents suggest the Speaker’s congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Judicial Watch previously obtained internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi’s numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker’s last minute cancellations and changes.

World misled over Himalayan glacier melting

More climate alarmist fraud. Just another day at the shop for the scamsters. Read this incredible story here.

Remember, your tax dollars support the UN.

The UN reportedly told medical teams to leave survivors of the Haitian earthquake. Read the story until he end  for the comments of American General Honore, famous for his “stuck on stupid” remark while coordinating recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina.

Will the Dems steal the MA election? I think so.

Will the Dems engage in massive election fraud on Tuesday in Massachusetts? My bet is that they will. Preserving their majority is a more important than something as silly to them as Constitutional government and the rule of law. Right now, Intrade.com, where people can make bets on outcoms, has it as exactly 50/50. Cl...ose races, of course, are the best candidates for election fraud. The Dems have been honing their efforts since the 1960 Nixon/Kennedy elections when ballots materialized giving Illinois to Kennedy. Modern techniques have been honed in Florida, Washington and Minnesota. Read a summary of what the Dems tried to do in Florida as a reminder of how the game is played. Sometimes the Dems lose, but that doesn't stop them.

How long before Obama and Holder bar Jews as jurors at terrorist trials?

“Jury selection in the "Lady Al Qaeda" trial got off to a bizarre start Wednesday with the accused terrorist telling jurors she was "boycotting" - and demanding Jews be excluded from the panel.

"If they have a Zionist or Israeli background...they are all mad at me," said Aafia Siddiqui, a U.S.-trained neuroscientist charged with attempted murder.

"I have a feeling everyone here is them - subject to genetic testing....They should be excluded if you want to be fair," she told Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Berman

Gotta be fair to Muslim terrorists,  you know.

Obama loses major democracies as US friends

Brilliant Obama is losing the world's democracies as American friends. "if you look at Brazil, South Africa, India and Turkey – the four most important democracies in Latin America, Africa, Asia and the greater Middle East – it is clear that none of them can be counted as a reliable ally of the US, or of a broader “community of democracies”" Consider Obama's fecklessness, cluelessness and adherence to stupid policies on nonsense like "global warming" and it is not a surprise. But it is a very dangerous
