Update
Trying to catch up. Posting though I have unread email and
had to delete a lot. Sorry. ~Bob
Alas, one of our best contributors, Kate, a high school
classmate, reports she has given up the Internet, including Google and email.
Life will be simpler for her--as life was in the 1970s. But we will miss her
contributions. (Though as of this post, she is still sending!)
The Old Jarhead Blog is your one-stop-shop for political
news and conservative opinion. Please forward to friends who need to be
informed. These posts are created by many readers who send me items for
inclusion, which I would have likely missed or skipped. We owe them thanks and
appreciation. I post articles because I think they are of interest and will
stimulate thought and discussion. Doing so doesn’t mean that I necessarily
agree (or disagree) with every—or any—opinion in the posted article, or that I
was able to verify the information presented, which is the responsibility of
the author. I try not to post things that are false, too far a stretch, or
viciously inflammatory, regardless of the view point, but I don’t always succeed.
As always on the Net, as in the legacy media, you must read critically and with
skepticism.
If you wish to submit items, the odds of my using them go up
if they are formatted--as Kate always did. Title in bold. Then the live URL link.
Then "Excerpt: and no more than three sentences from the article, unless the
article is very short or the sentences are very long, to keep me with in the
fair use guidelines. It's always a judgment call--this is a guideline, not a
rule. I attended a seminar where the attorney reported that a guy running a
website was hit for $80k, because he used an article. Some major publications
have turned copyright enforcement over to law firms who use web search engines
to identify usage from the publication, then send a demand for a large payment
or a chance to go to court, which will likely cost more even if you win. The
attorney said that for an average length article, three sentences are usually
safe--though you wouldn't be sure until the judge rules. Sometimes I use longer
excerpts where I think the risk is low, perhaps because I know the writer wants
to bring traffic to his page. I am not trying to use anyone's copyrighted
material--as a writer I get the importance of copyright. I'm trying to give
readers a chance to go to the website and read the piece, telling them just
enough so they can decide if it is interesting. And, for those who don't know,
anything original has an instant copyright as soon as you create it.
Registering with the government doesn't create a copyright, only a way to prove
it. ~Bob
General News and Comment
Worth Reading
Excerpt: Returning briefly to England
from France
for a speaking engagement, I bought three of the major dailies to catch up on
the latest developments in my native land. The impression they gave was of a
country in the grip of a thoroughgoing moral frivolity. In a strange inversion
of proper priorities, important matters are taken lightly and trivial ones
taken seriously. This is not the charming or uplifting frivolity of Feydeau’s
farces or Oscar Wilde’s comedies; it is the frivolity of real decadence,
bespeaking a profound failure of nerve bound to have disastrous consequences
for the country’s quality of life. The newspapers portrayed frivolity without
gaiety and earnestness without seriousness—a most unattractive combination.

Conversation Unknowingly Captured at the Scene of the Ferguson Shooting is a

Excerpt: The original

shot unarmed with his hands in the air. But he unknowingly picks up
conversation between a man who saw the altercation and another neighbor. An
approximate transcription of the background conversation, as related by the “Conservative Treehouse” blog: ... This is terribly important because if Mike Brown had been shot,
and he advanced towards the cop instead of surrendering, it would substantiate
the narrative that the policeman shot in self-defense due to the fact that he
was being threatened with severe bodily harm.

Obama's DOJ Silent as
New Black Panthers Leader Incites Violence in Ferguson
Excerpt: It appears to me the only racists in this entire
thing are the New Black Panthers and their accomplices in the Obama
administration. Whatever happened to "not
judging a person by the color of their skin but by the content of their
character? I thought people like Jesse Jackson was supposed to have
been a disciple of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Why is he not speaking out
against this kind of talk? It's because he backs it because he and his ilk
profit from the demoralization and suffering of the black community. (It's only
hate speech if a white person incites violence. ~Bob)
Excerpt: Neither Klein nor Paul are saying that judges are
racists. Or legislators. Or even cops on the beat. What they are saying is that
the system has a disparate impact on blacks.
But what Paul surely realizes, if Klein does not, is that
most government intervention has a disparate racial impact – including
interventions favored by liberals like Klein.
If you started out with the goal of ensuring that our
prisons are going to be filled with thousands of young black men, it’s hard to
think of anything more effective that trapping poor black children in rotten
public schools and then imposing labor market restrictions that prevent them
from obtaining entry level jobs.
Excerpt: The “libertarian moment” has arrived, the New York
Times Magazine proclaimed this month, to the guffaws
of many liberals and a few conservatives. The other news on today’s front pages

abolish the minimum wage, legalize prostitution,
or repeal the New Deal, but libertarianism’s warnings today ring truer than
ever.

whites at twice the rate whites murder blacks. Both pale to insignificance to
the murder rate of blacks killing blacks. But only whites killing blacks

Dershowitz, a prominent scholar on United States constitutional law

This Indictment Of Rick Perry Is Unbelievably Ridiculous.
By Jonathan Chait
Excerpt: They say a prosecutor could get a grand jury to
indict a ham sandwich, and this always seemed like hyperbole, until Friday
night a Texas
grand jury announced an indictment of governor Rick Perry. The “crime” for
which Perry faces a sentence of 5 to 99 years in prison is vetoing funding for
a state agency. The conventions of reporting — which treat the fact of an
indictment as the primary news, and its merit as a secondary analytic question
— make it difficult for people reading the news to grasp just how farfetched
this indictment is. (If a drunk officer holder kills your child with a car in Texas , you can thnk the

(But then, maybe Khan can only deal with one skanky, lefty freak show at a time, and she's got her hands full right now with Russell Brand.) Assange, it seems, is very much yesterday's flavour-of-the-month. The chattering classes have grown bored with their plaything.

Federal agencies spend millions on union business. By Kenric Ward

Excerpt: In an attempt to solve this problem and give hundreds of millions of future kids a better life, I cautiously endorse the idea of licensing parents, a process that would be little different than getting a driver's licence. Parents who pass a series of basic tests qualify and get the green light to get pregnant and raise children.

Research and Analysis, Clare Lopez, says in this exclusive video interview with
The Daily Caller that very few have seemed to care that America switched
sides in the global war on terror when President Obama deposed an erstwhile
ally in the Middle East and provided weapons to al-Qaida and the
Muslim Brotherhood. Focusing on this under-reported, critical shift in American
foreign policy, Clare Lopez discusses how an American ambassador and others
were killed in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11 because the Obama
administration decided to promote and defend their narrative that “al-Qaida was
on the run,” even as we were outright arming militants affiliated with the
terrorist group. Lopez spent 20 years as an undercover operations officer for
the CIA.

airstrikes to help retake large Iraq dam captured by Islamic State
Excerpt: The United States
on Saturday launched several more air strikes in Iraq

The Common Enemy. By George Packer
Excerpt: The Islamic State in Iraq
and al-Sham controls thirty-five thousand square miles of land, an area the
size of Jordan .
The self-proclaimed caliphate stretches from the newly conquered towns along
the Syrian-Turkish border, through its de-facto capital of Raqqa, in northern Syria , across the obliterated Iraqi border into Mosul , Tikrit, and Falluja, down to the farming towns
south of Baghdad —roughly
a third of the territory of both countries. It is exploiting almost every oil
and gas field in Syria ; it
has seized Iraq ’s largest
refinery, in Baiji, and its biggest dam, north of Mosul ,
which provides water and electricity for much of the country and could, if
destroyed, submerge Baghdad .
(There are hopeful notes in this article, about various forces finally coming
together to oppose ISIS , and not just with
words. This is a golden opportunity for Pres. Obama to actually become a leader
in the world again. But that would mean really coming off the fence, away from
the golf course and the fundraisers, and making some hard decisions, and going
to Congress and asking for the support for sending a flood of aid to the Kurds,
and a flood of US air power to really damage ISIS assets everywhere they can be
found. It can be done, it needs to be done, but will he do it? I really don't
know. --Del )
