Worth Reading: Protect America first, Mr. Obama! By Chet Nagle, Former CIA Agent
Excerpt:
Last Friday, millions of Americans from Illinois to the Delmarva
Peninsula were hit by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) missile: no
lights, no air conditioning, no Internet, no cellphones and no
refrigerators for their insulin. Actually, it was a storm called a
“derecho,” but its effects were similar to that of an EMP
missile. EMP? Look it up. It will horrify you. But then, you think,
if it had been an EMP warhead, our homeland missile defense system
would have destroyed it — right? Wrong. (Chet Nagle is a reader of
this blog, and the author of two terrific thrillers, which I
recommend: The Iran Covenant and The Woolsorter's Plague.

Excerpt:
A new Gallup poll shows that 11% of Americans think Obama is a
Muslim, and the leftist media just can't figure out why anyone would
get that idea. Slate concluded that it must be
because of "his exotic name and background, the color of
his skin, or (most likely) some combination of the two."
But in reality, the reason why people think Obama is a Muslim is
because of how he acts.
'We
will carry attacks on NATO supplies with a new spirit,' says
Pakistani Taliban spokesman
Excerpt:
The top spokesman for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan vowed
that his group would resume attacks on NATO's convoys to Afghanistan
now that Pakistan has reopened the supply lines. Additionally, the

an orchestrated "drama" and challenged the so-called
Defense of Pakistan alliance to take action.

Lessons
from the derecho storm. Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh
Excerpt:
We survived because towns and zones within towns were connected via
the now maligned patchwork of electricity delivery. … The situation
in the northeast this time, even with lower winds is quite different
because many people are connected to the Smart Grid.
The
Foundation of Free Enterprise
(Celebrating
Free Enterprise this 4th of July)
Excerpt:
With a few potent words, the political leaders and statesmen who
signed the Declaration of Independence unleashed the power of
opportunity and initiative in America. Free enterprise was an
important element in their grand experiment in liberty. Inherent in
the Declaration of Independence is the idea of earned success.
Excerpt:
One of the most common mistakes made in political reporting is to
assume that average voter is following the daily news cycle as
closely as we are. … Forty-five percent — yes 45 percent! — of
respondents in the Pew poll either didn’t know what the court had
done in regards the health care law (30 percent) or thought that the
court had rejected most of the provisions of the law (15 percent).

Worth
Reading: The “European Monster
State.” By Wolf Richter
Excerpt:
Rather than solving the Eurozone debt crisis once and for all, the EU
summit last week gummed up the bailout process with controversy in
the very country that everyone is counting on to save the Eurozone,
Germany—but also elsewhere—and nothing has been resolved. There
is Greece, inexorably tottering towards its exit from the Eurozone.

Gaelic
Guerrilla. By Maureen Dowd
Excerpt:
“Che was a bloodthirsty, sadistic killer who did not value human
life,” Ros-Lehtinen wrote in an e-mail to me on Tuesday. “I do
realize that Che continues to be a chic figure to the intellectual
elite harboring misplaced romanticism, but I represent many of his
victims and survivors who see him in a far different light.”

resentment against Republicans.
Family
Ties to Gambling Re-emerge in House Race
Excerpt:
It was awkward for Representative John F. Tierney when, in October
2010, his wife, Patrice, pleaded guilty to tax fraud. She admitted
that she had managed a bank account for her brother Robert Eremian,
and said she had been “willfully blind” to what prosecutors said
was the fact that the million of dollars it contained were profits
from an illegal gambling ring in Antigua that he ran with their
brother Daniel.
Excerpt:
Given how many more Americans define themselves as conservative
rather than as liberal, let alone than as left, how does one explain
the success of left-wing policies?One answer is the appeal of
entitlements and a desire to be taken care of. It takes a
strong-willed citizen to vote against receiving free benefits.

A highly ranked Russian official warns us that if we elect the
Republican candidate there will be a major crisis in the first year.

Afghan
Treachery and Visionless Strategy Continue to Kill American War
Fighters! By John Bernard
Excerpt:
The Daily Mirror ran a story about the increased angst in the ranks
of Britain's forces over new orders that require British forces to be
fired upon before engaging the enemy in Afghanistan. While these ROE
are not new to the US and ISAF forces in general, the edict is being
received by Britain's armed forces as another oppressive act
permitting a greater level of danger for them in the interest of
safeguarding "innocent" Afghan civilians. This debate is
not new for either the Brits or Americans but with each new edict
comes a new round of unnecessary friendly deaths at the hands of the
Taliban and our new "allies", the Afghan Army and Police.

When you’re a conservative and you are doing your level best to
deal with all the crapola spewed by the Left, you don’t really need
a newfangled BS detector. You just need one of those large brooms the
circus provides the poor guy who walks behind the elephants. In my
case, of course, it’s a team of donkeys I’m trailing behind.

As I’m sure you all know by now, Obama has suggested that for the
next few months, nobody should send anyone a wedding, anniversary,
birthday or bar mitzvah gift, and should, instead, send the money to
him. I must confess that my first reaction was one of elation. It
seemed a great way to get out of having to buy all those pricey
gifts.

become even more dependent on federal programs.

While various media outlets and “analysts” try to claim that the

solved, the fact remains that Europe is out of money. And I mean
TOTALLY out of money. I realize this flies in the face of what 99% of
analysts are claiming. (Not sure I understand this stuff well enough
to know how sacred to be. ~Bob)
Texas
Town Bans Flags on Veterans’ Graves
Excerpt:
A Texas town is reconsidering a controversial ordinance that it
approved earlier this month that would ban the displaying of flags
at gravesites. The ordinance, approved by the City Council of
Mineral Wells, states that flags would be allowed on graves at the
town’s Woodland Park Cemetery only one week before and after
Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day. July 4 and Labor Day, other popular
flag holidays, were not part of the approved time frame. After
citizens expressed outrage, flooding the city council office with
calls Monday, the council scheduled a public meeting for July 10 to
reconsider the new flag policy. (Liberal argued on Fox News that it
was “littering.” --Barb.
Letter
to the Editor
Friends
have asked me to weigh in on the Supreme Court decision re.
Obamacare. I was surprised but not shocked. It is my view that the
USA has been on life support for some time now. A country capable of
electing an Obama in the first place does not deserve to survive.
Thus, whatever the Supreme Court, or Congress, or even the voters
might do now is a moot point in the long run.
Sincerely,
Richard Gribbins
