Worth Reading
Excerpt: In 1966, a Soviet captain ran his submarine aground
on a Massachusetts
beach in a comedy film titled “The Russians are Coming, the Russians are
Coming.” In 2012, a Russian captain took his submarine into the Gulf of Mexico and did not run it aground. Instead, he
proved the United States
could neither detect nor deter him, and then sailed home. Senator John Cornyn
(R-TX) did not think it was a comedy. (Chet Nagle is a graduate of the U.S.
Naval Academy, a former Pentagon official, and author of the terrific political
thrillers, The Iran Covenant and The Woolsorter's Plague. ~Bob.)
Worth Reading
Excerpt: Obama did not simply happen to encounter a lot of
people on the far-left fringe during his life. As he spells out in his book, he
actively sought out such people. There is no hint of the slightest curiosity on
his part about other visions of the world that might be weighed against the
vision he had seized upon.
A general reminds us
who we are
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hfp-Bz8b1A&feature=player_embeddedThis
is a 30 minute address by a Marine general to the American Legion. He really
wraps it up very, very well. Worth a listen, worth passing on. Actually,
it's not a good speech.... it's a great speech, and I wish every American could
hear it. --Del
Excerpt: The daughter of a member of the Vietnamese
Communist Party’s Politburo, the country’s most powerful political body, Ms.
Huong had only days before been appointed the head of a state-owned
construction company. Commentators on the Internet expressed outrage that
someone so young — she is reported to be 24 — held such a senior corporate
post. “Taking a little girl who just graduated from journalism school and
making her the director general of a construction company is no different than
making a one-legged man a soccer goalie,” read a comment on Pham Viet Dao, a
popular blog by a Vietnamese writer of the same name. “Sorry to say — this is
so stupid.” ((The "Socialist
Republic Del. Most of the "rich" in
"Communist" China

Obama's
'intelligence' agencies urge preparing for a 'post-Israel Middle
East '
Excerpt: Remember Chas Freeman
(pictured), President Obama's original choice for Director of
National Intelligence? Chas didn't get the position because 'powerful bloggers' like yours truly worked hard to expose his
indifference to the torture and murder of Chinese dissidents and his being deep
in the pockets of the Saudi royal family. Instead, Obama appointed James
Clapper, who told Congress that China is the United States' biggest mortal threat,
and that the Muslim Brotherhood is secular and will save us from al-Qaeda. (The hands of Israel 's
betrayers have been in our White House, plotting her destruction since noon on
Jan. 20, 2009. Netanyahu and his supporters are right. Time for a strike is up.
He understands that Obama's reign insists upon Israel being incinerated. That's
clear as a bell. Who is left who doesn't understand this monumentally evil
cabal, led by B. Hussein's brain, Valerie Jarret, born and raised for her 1st
10 years in Iran ,
with extensive contacts with the turbaned masters of the Iranian people. It
wouldn't be a stretch to say that Jarrett is one of the principal mole agents
working for the mullahs and against the Iranian people. --DH.)
ICE chief of staff
resigns after allegations of lewd conduct
Excerpt: A top official at Immigration and Customs
Enforcement has resigned following allegations by several subordinates of lewd
behavior. ICE Chief of Staff Suzanne Barr submitted her resignation in a
letter, obtained by FoxNews.com, to ICE Director John Morton. She rejected the
allegations against her as "unfounded" but said she didn't want to
distract from the agency's mission. (This is the new normal for the Democrat
party. --Don Hank)

Excerpt:
A Detroit
man suspected of fatally shooting two men attempted to turn himself in on
Saturday but, to his surprise, there were apparently no police officers
available to take him into custody. (This reminds me of working (As a
CHP Officer) in So Cal, stopping a van filled wit 20-30 Illegal aliens, calling
for Border Patrol, and being told either "They are too busy" or
" They have no unit available" California--You are going
to see a LOT of this. --DH)
Obama's less than
warm welcome to Iowa
Excerpt: Greeting Air Force One as it touched down under
sunny skies and sultry heat was a hand-painted banner draped across the top of
an airplane hangar that reads, "Obama Welcome to SUX - We Did Build
This." "SUX" is the airport code for Sioux City . (Gee, I wonder how many times
Obama has regretted his "You didn't build that" comment. --Todd)
Will Tel Aviv burn
while Obama fiddles? By Ken Timmerman
Excerpt: The latest report from the International Atomic
Energy Agency in Vienna ,
released on Thursday, should give all of us pause. It shows that Iran has made
dramatic progress in just the past three months in expanding uranium enrichment
all the while it continues to stiff arm international inspectors seeking to
gain access to an alleged nuclear weapons development site.
Look who parks their
cash at Bain. By Deroy Murdock
Excerpt: But Bain’s private-equity executives have enriched
dozens of organizations and millions of individuals in the Democratic base —
including some who scream most loudly for President Obama’s re-election.
How
Excerpt: The Clinton-Obama feud is the worst-kept secret in
the Democratic Party. It traces back to the bruising 2008 primary campaign,
when Obama’s surrogates lambasted Bill and Hillary for being “racists” and a Clinton aide said of
Obama that he “embraces the politics of trash.”
Why Israel Doesn't Trust Obama: The U.S. is harder on its ally than on Iran
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444914904577623504274512294.html
Excerpt: Barack Obama is fond of insisting that he "hasIsrael 's

should mention that to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. In remarks to journalists inLondon quoted by the Guardian,
General Martin Dempsey warned that any Israeli attack on Iran would "clearly delay but probably not
destroy Iran 's

Rabbi beating sparks
fury in Germany
Didn't get the memo. ~Bob. Excerpt: The brutal daylight
beating of a rabbi in front of his six-year-old daughter sparked furious
condemnation in Germany
Thursday, with some Jewish groups saying they feared a rise in anti-Semitic
behaviour. The attack on the 53-year-old by four youths, thought to be Arabs,
left him hospitalised and the Jewish community outraged, already up in arms
over a court ruling in western Germany
that outlaws religious circumcision.
Excerpt: What he did not realize was that while he was
trying to put out what he considered a fire, the person fanning the flames was
sitting just one flight up from him: Valerie Jarrett,
the Obamas’ first friend, the proposal’s chief patron and a tenacious White
House operator who would ultimately outmaneuver not only Mr. Daley but also the
vice president in her effort to include the broadest possible contraception
coverage in the administration’s health care
overhaul.

The Abuser in Chief
Excerpt: Calling America "lazy" last weekend was only the latest and broadest
insult from President Obama. America
has become accustomed to Obama's lashing out at entire groups of people. What
has been all too little appreciated is his seeming delight in bullying, if not
demeaning, individuals face-to-face. He is protected from angry responses not
just by the Secret Service, but by the reverence his victims have for
the office he holds. (It's The Chicago Way . ~Bob.)
Kirstie Alley makes
Clint Eastwood's day. By Christie D'Zurilla
Excerpt: If Clint Eastwood proved Thursday that the
Republican Party has least one friend in Hollywood ,
Kirstie Alley proved Friday that Clint Eastwood has at least one Hollywood friend in the Democratic
Party. "I just saw Clint Eastwood's speech and I LOVED it!!,"
Alley tweeted early Friday. "Funny as hell & on

Obama speech to soldiers met with silence. By Neil Munro
Excerpt: The selected soldiers who were arrayed behind the
president sat quietly throughout the speech. CNN and MSNBC ended their coverage
of the speech before it was half-over
Excerpt: Russia needs
a "leap forward" to rejuvenate its sprawling defense industry,
President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, harkening back to the ambitious
industrialization carried out by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in the run-up to
World War Two. "We should carry out the same powerful, all-embracing leap
forward in modernization of the defense industry as the one carried out in the
1930s," Putin told his Security Council, without mentioning Stalin by name.
Media Strikes Back
After Dirty Harry Dares To Mock Obama
Excerpt: Eastwood hit Obama in every sweet spot we've been
waiting for him to get hit on: The incompetence; the lies; the empty,
pretentious rhetoric; the inexperience; and that roaring blowhard of a moron
Obama chose to be a heartbeat away. Oh, and the empty chair. Other than an
empty suit, there is no sharper metaphor.
Netanyahu Goes Nuclear On Obama. By AWR Hawkins
Excerpt: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
reportedly shouted "Time has run out!" at U.S. Ambassador Dan
Shapiro, as the two met in Israel earlier this week and discussed the Obama
administration's position on Iran…..Shapiro responded by alleging that
Netanyahu was "distorting Obama's position." Following this, a
no-holds-barred shouting match broke out as the fuming Israeli PM let loose on
the U.S. ambassador.
Excerpt: As you all probably know by now, as of this
morning, President Obama had no scheduled plans to visit Louisiana -- the state hit hardest by
Hurricane Isaac. That is, until newly minted GOP nominee Mitt Romney announced
immediately after his convention that he would visit the storm-ravaged area.
Romney's there now as I write this and not long after his trip was announced,
liked a jilted suitor on the chase, President Obama announced he would squeeze in
some time for a similar visit.
Excerpt: Some people are panning Clint Eastwood’s speech on
the final night of the Republican National Convention. But if we ignore the
somewhat awkward, ad-lib delivery, he said four important things:….
Barack Obama’s top 10 most outrageous Big Labor paybacks.
By Mark Mix President, National Right to Work
Excerpt: In his book “The Audacity of Hope,”
then-presidential candidate Barack Obama wrote: “I owe those unions. When their
leaders call, I do my best to call them back right away. I don’t consider this
corrupting in any way.” After Big Labor spent nearly $1 billion to get
President Obama and his forced-unionism allies elected in 2008, Obama did not
disappoint.
Ethics panel extends
probe of Rep. Andrews
Excerpt: The House Ethics Committee on Friday announced it
has extended its investigation into Rep. Rob Andrews over allegations that the
New Jersey Democrat misused campaign funds to take private family trips. The
secretive panel also released a lengthy report from the Office of Congressional
Ethics (OCE) detailing the allegations, including charges that Andrews tapped

in Scotland , as well as
multiple visits the same year to Los
Angeles with his daughters.
