The hypocrisy of Congress: When some intelligence agency breaks into their shit ...
worse than criminal


Funny how I didn't hear this outrage during all the times Congress decided to approve more funding for more covert wiretapping programs.

Probably because we don't use enough technology to teach our future generations.

Obama: we support our allies
"We do whatever is necessary to protect our people," Obama said, adding, "We support our allies when they're in danger."


Guess Ukraine isn't an ally.

It's hard to tell who are allies are any more looking at who we do and do not give aid to.

Will be in the Guinness Book of World Records. For a billion dollars, I could make a website that'd actually blow you.

Over 100,000 people have signed a petition demanding that the government stop all legal action against Risen.

There's that 100K rule again.

FOX News piece on Obama pulling troops out of Iraq. You only need to watch the first 1:31. Has any president, or any politician for that matter, been caught saying two different things as much as Barry?

Don't have a strategy yet.
The U.S. has carried out airstrikes against ISIS in northern Iraq and the president has been considering similar strikes in Syria. Obama indicated that such strikes were not imminent, saying “we don't have a strategy yet.”


Oh yeah, he's punting on immigration as well.

Someone at the Pentagon was quoted as saying, "ISIS definitely heard that."

Racist.

The Obama Justice Department requiring public schools to enroll middle aged illegal immigrants as students.

http://cnsnews.com/news....schools

In May, the Department of Justice issued a statement to public schools reminding them that they are legally required to enroll all children, regardless of their immigration status.

...

“One example: the woman who answered [the] door said, ‘He’s 35 years old -- he’s not going to show up at school....But we cannot, per DOJ guidelines, we cannot ask them for any more verification of age,” Kennedy said.

Even if you can define which half of the empire you're talking about and precisely what "fall" means, no. Their borders got forced open when they couldn't field enough legions to stop the local barbarians from encroaching on Roman territory. Those local tribes were running the fuck away from even less friendly invaders.

As a bonus, some of those dudes ended up saving Rome's ass until the western rulers finally insulted them one too many times by refusing to integrate them as full citizens. Then the locals sacked the fuck out of Rome a time or two. By setting up a system where naturalized citizens were continually viewed as second-class even after honourable military service, the Roman power structure became increasingly inbred, incompetent, and incapable, all in the name of keeping the high-class bloodlines "pure."

Still no plan. Even hacks like Bush the Greater would've mobilized NATO by now.

We won't tolerate this Ukraine thing. Well ... unless we have to go and physically do something about it. Fuck that.
