Update
Random Thoughts for December, 2014. By Robert A. Hall
The Old Jarhead Blog
I try to make this blog your one-stop-shop for political
news and conservative opinion. Founded
in October, 2008, it gets 5k to 7k page views a week, most from the US , but
hundreds from many countries worldwide. Feel free to post or forward to friends
who need to be better informed. The news posts are created from several news
feeds, from US and international websites, from twitter when I have spare time
to follow it, and by many readers who send me items for inclusion, which I
would have often have missed or skipped. We owe them thanks and appreciation. I
try to include foreign sources and info you won’t get in the MSM, but I often
use links to pieces in the Washington
Post, New York Times, Politico, Reuters and other
left-of-center sources. No one is required to read the blog, or any of the
links. Trust me, no one reads everything posted, but scanning the headlines
will keep you informed, and you can click on stories you want to know more
about. 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. I also try to avoid items that will
turn off thoughtful centrists and leftists or low-information independents,
including “red meat” pieces with intemperate language or wild speculation,
conspiracy theories with no supporting facts and silly distractions like the
so-called “birther” issue (which I correctly predicted years ago was going
nowhere, and wasted time and energy), but I don’t always succeed. I use maybe
50% of the conservative pieces sent me, probably less than 5% of the liberal
opinion sent, usually to illustrate their views. Readers who don’t like that
are welcome to start their own blogs. Readers who send formatted pieces (title,
link, and a fair-use excerpt of no more than three sentences unless the piece
is very short, than fewer) to tartanmarine(at)gmail.com have a higher chance of
my using them than people who just send a link. A piece without a link has a much lower chance of being used—it
depends on how interesting it is and how much time I have right then to search
for it, and my time is limited right now due to managing the lung transplant I
received on December 23, 2013, which has developed complications. I understand
if you don’t have the time to format or even to find a link—please understand I
don't either. I often include thoughtful comments from contributors. (Tell me
if you want your full name used.) There are no ads on my blog, no fees and I
receive no income from it. Now that I've retired, that might need to change,
but for now, that’s how it is. I do promote my books, with the royalties going
to charity. As always on the Net, as in the legacy media, you must read these
posts critically and with skepticism. ~Bob
General News and Comment
Democrats Try To
Figure Out What Went Wrong. By Garth Kant
Excerpt: Democrats surveying the wreckage of their midterm
election disaster are trying to figure out what went wrong, and the question
largely has been: Is it the message or the messenger? ... Tina Brown, former
Newsweek Editor: “Obama’s like that guy in the corner office who’s too cool for
school, calls a meeting, says this has to change, doesn’t put anything in place
to make sure it does change. Then it goes wrong, and he’s blaming everybody.”
Worth Reading : Debunking
the House Intelligence Report on Benghazi
Excerpt: The media embraced the report as bipartisan
vindication of what the Obama administration has argued: Namely that yes,
mistakes were made, we did everything we could to protect our people, and have
put into place remedies, and changes in policies, so that nothing like this
happens again. But the evidence and the testimony say otherwise. (I highly
recommend the link, which will take you to the report, which is extremely well
done, professional and thorough. It brings up all the real facts, highlights
the obvious flaws and falsehoods in how this has been handled, and leaves no
question that a whole bunch of important questions remain to be answered. Which
certain politicians absolutely want to never even come up again in public. I
hate to sound like a conspiracy nut, but the long, messy, convoluted efforts to
hide the sad truth of that situation and the night's events amount to some kind
of widespread cover-up. More than disappointing, more like disgusting. --Del )
The Forgotten
Americans: Obama’s coalition is held together only by his
personal mythography. By Victor Davis
Hanson
Excerpt: Indeed, a cynic would sum up the unlikely liberal
coalition as a bridge over the middle class. Wealthy, influential progressives
had enough capital and income to support new efforts at government
redistribution, higher taxes, and the sort of green projects that, at least in the
short term, would slow the economy and cost blue-collar jobs — but not really
affect the 1 percenters’ own livelihoods much. At the other end, the underclass
welcomed expansions of federal entitlement programs and the idea of an activist
state guaranteeing an equality of result for the less-well-off, with the taxes
to pay for it all falling on someone else.
Excerpt: The Dutch and German governments were preparing
emergency plans for a return to their national currencies at the height of the
euro crisis it has emerged. These plans remain in place.
UN panel dings U.S.
on torture, police brutality
Excerpt: The U.N. Committee against Torture on Friday urged
the United States
government to do more to combat police brutality, part of a comprehensive
report they say highlights American shortcomings in detaining suspected
criminals. The U.N. panel also criticized American military interrogations and
the way prisoners are held at the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay , Cuba Cuba ,
Sudan
and several other repressive regimes to influential committees charged with
promoting human rights. Human rights activists see this as a major setback in
their campaign to end abuse and to create open and healthy societies. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/04/24/iran-gains-prominence-at-un/

A Case for Self-Restraint. By George Will
Excerpt: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction.” – Newton ’s
Third Law of Motion. America ’s
Newtonian Constitution might again function according to Madisonian
expectations if a provoked Congress regains its spine and self-respect, thereby
returning our constitutional architecture to equipoise. But this is more to be
hoped for than expected. Even without this, however, the institutional
vandalism of Barack Obama’s executive unilateralism still might be a net
national benefit. It will be if the Republicans' 2016 presidential nominee
responds to Obama’s serial provocations by promising a return to democratic
etiquette grounded in presidential self-restraint.
Republican early
voting increases before Louisiana
Excerpt: The number
of people who cast their ballots early in Louisiana dropped off from the Nov. 4
primary election to the Dec. 6 runoff election in every statewide category
except one: registered Republican voters. About 85,900 registered Republicans
took advantage of early voting for the Dec. 6 runoff, which was
held during the week leading up Thanksgiving, as well as Saturday.
Excerpt: Lily Tang Williams, a mother of three, testified
before the Colorado State Board of Education that Common Core was similar to
the education she received growing up in Mao’s Communist China. “Common Core,
in my eyes, is the same as the Communist core I once saw in China ,”
Williams said. “I grew up under Mao’s regime and we had the Communist-dominated
education — nationalized testing, nationalized curriculum, and nationalized
indoctrination.
Obama Admin Plots New
Teacher Training Regulations
Excerpt: Currently, the federal government dispenses TEACH
grants to education students who agree to begin teaching in disadvantaged
schools after graduating. The grants are up to $4,000 per student and amount to
over $150 million per year. Under the newly announced rule, TEACH grants will
no longer be universally available, but will instead only be granted to
aspiring teachers attending programs that are found to be performing well by
their state.
Jim Webb Thinks He Can Beat Hillary Clinton. By Matt Vespa
Excerpt: Her unofficial political team is already posturing,
saying Clinton
could net 386 electoral votes in 2016. One could posit that this is a tacit
acknowledgement of Clinton 's
vulnerability. After all, she’s a
bad campaigner, her books sales were lackluster to say the least, and she’s
nothing like Obama in the sense of being something completely different
from the underbelly of the Democratic Party–nor does she bring an aura of
change that captivates a nation. She will also be nearly 70 when–or if–she
subjects herself to the burdensome and tortuous life of a national campaign.
Worth Reading : America
Excerpt: The 6 years of Barack Obama’s foreign policy have
seen American influence and power decline across the globe. Traditional rivals
like China and Russia are emboldened and on the march in the
South China Sea and Ukraine .
Iran ,
branded as the world’s deadliest state sponsor of terrorism, is arrogantly
negotiating its way to a nuclear bomb. Bloody autocrats and jihadist gangs in the
Middle East scorn our president’s threats and
behead our citizens. Countries in which Americans have shed their blood in
service to our interests and ideals are in the process of being abandoned to
our enemies. And allies like Israel
and Saudi Arabia
are bullied or ignored. All over the world, a vacuum of power has been created
by a foreign policy sacrificed to domestic partisan advantage, and
characterized by criminal incompetence.
The Democrat-Academia
junk science axis digs in
Excerpt: Perhaps the most frightening thing to the Democrats
and their allies in academia about the change of control in the Congress is the
possibility that their junk
science gravy train will be shut down. The Democrats have long used junk
science, produced by the various academic equivalents of Jerry Sandusky, in
order to shape the debate and form policies for reordering American society.
The next two years
are going to be bad
Excerpt: Barack Obama never was a team player and now he is
even less so.... A sociopath is most dangerous when he’s a lame duck and no
longer has to pretend he cares about anyone else. The next two years are going
to be bad. (It's heeerrreee! Noting discussion/comments not loading for view
tonight and Google saying sites not available.....Barb)
Bill Clinton: 'Fun to
watch' fictional politicians get away with murder
Excerpt: “But the thing about ‘Scandal’ and ‘House of Cards’
that makes it fun to watch is that I can’t imagine that either a President
Spacey or the president’s chief of staff on ‘Scandal’ could really get away
with murder,” Clinton chuckled, to laughs from the daytime talk show’s
audience. “I wish I’d known about that when I was in office,” the
42nd president added, before wondering aloud, “You know, think of all the
opportunities I’ve missed … so little time … so many people had it coming.
Crazy.”
Gun News
Why one cop carries
145 rounds of ammo on the job
Excerpt: He detailed the gunfight that caused the difference
in a gripping presentation at the annual conference of the Assn. of SWAT
Personnel-Wisconsin. At the core of his desperate firefight was a murderous
attacker who simply would not go down, even though he was shot 14 times with
.45-cal. ammunition — six of those hits in supposedly fatal locations. (From
the email that came with this link: Been preaching this for years...pistol
bullets don't always work...and caliber is not the issue. ..We have friends
that were hit badly with 12.7mm (50 BMG) and are still with us... The best
hollow point pistol bullets made are prone to failure if filled with clothing
fibers before entering the body... You might hit someone with a lethal
shot...and that does not mean he still can't kill you for a time after.. (Miami
Dade FBI shootout proved that) If you are attacked with deadly force. ..and
authorized to respond in kind...you don't have time to pick out less than
lethal target areas...you are already on the response side of this fight.. Clear
front sight in center mass.. (between the tits ) and shoot til the deadly
threat stops. ... then scan for additional threats before indexing and
relaxing... Sounds cold....but if you want to go home. ..... Read attached

Dog takes bullet to
save child's life in road rage shooting
Excerpt: Austin was not injured in the shooting, but bullets
hit a Chevrolet Suburban occupied by a woman, three children and a dog –
identified by the family as Noah -- according to police...."The dog took
the bullet for the kids so the kids would be safe," a witness said....The
dog was seen on surveillance video running past one of the nearby shops following
the shooting. He later died behind a building.
Ebola News
Good luck: WHO advises male Ebola survivors to
abstain from sex
Excerpt: Men who recover from Ebola should abstain from sex
for three months to minimize the risk of passing the virus on in their semen,
the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday. Ebola, a disease that
has infected and killing thousands in a vast epidemic in West
Africa , normally spreads via bodily fluids such as blood, saliva
and faeces. Although sexual transmission of Ebola virus disease has never been
documented, the virus has been detected in the survivors' semen. "Men who
have recovered from Ebola virus disease should be aware that seminal fluid may
be infectious for as long as three months after onset of symptoms," the
WHO said in a statement.

Must See: Sheriff Clarke ~ Irresponsible Groups Descended
on Ferguson MO
Excerpt: Many people innocently ask why Officer Wilson did
not shoot Michael Brown in the legs. The answer could stretch for pages. More
succinctly, a couple handfuls of reasons: 1) This ain't the movies. (Yon is a
highly-experienced combat reporter. ~Bob)
Good story: Black residents protect white-owned store
in Ferguson
Excerpt: Jordan ,
37, was one of four black Ferguson
residents who spent Tuesday night planted in front of the store, pistols tucked
into their waistbands, waiting to ward off looters or catch shoplifters. Jordan
and the others guarding the gas station are all black. The station’s owner is
white.
New Black Panther
Members Wanted To Go On Bombing Spree , But
Couldn’t Because Their EBT Card Ran Out
Excerpt: Two men indicted last week on federal weapons
charges allegedly had plans to bomb the Gateway Arch — and to kill St. Louis
County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch and Ferguson Police Chief Tom
Jackson — the Post-Dispatch has learned.
Black L.A. Cop
Schools Ferguson
Excerpt: The students confronted the
cop outside the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD. One skull full of mush, a
White woman, who identified herself as an UCLA student, demanded of the
officer: “As a person of color, are you ashamed to be part of such a
corrupt system?…As a black man, have you ever experienced racism?” Um, that
would be a yes. He had grown up in Jackson ,
Mississippi
Not MLK: Farrakhan On Ferguson
Excerpt: Farrakhan stated in his speech — given at Morgan State
University , a black college located in
Baltimore , Md. America
Teens Jump, Beat St.
Excerpt: According to the St. Louis Bosnian, the victim was 32-year-old Zemir
Begic. He was sitting in his car around 1 a.m. when the
teens began banging on it. He stepped out of the car, and the teens attacked
him until he was unconscious then left him for dead. (I'm guessing there was a
racial component. Two under age suspects in custody, but race not released. Any
bets? ~Bob)
Excerpt: The New York Times has now pronounced on
the “meaning
of the Ferguson riots.” A more perfect example of what the late Daniel
Patrick Moynihan called “defining deviancy down” would be hard to
find. The Times’ editorial encapsulates the elite narrative around the fatal
police shooting of unarmed Michael Brown last August, and the mayhem that twice
followed that shooting. Unfortunately, the editorial is also a harbinger of the
poisonous anti-police ideology that will drive law-enforcement policy under the
remainder of the Obama administration.
Excerpt: In the 107 days since officer Darren Wilson shot
and killed 18 year old Michael Brown –12:03pm, Saturday, August 9th –
the following stupidity has taken place in Chicago: 155 homicides (74% black
males) 725 shot & wounded Six (6) 18 year olds killed: Kawantis Montgomery,
Kamaal Burton, Tony McIntos, Alexandra Burgos, Rayvon Little, Johnathan
Cartwright 59 18 year olds shot & wounded 29 teenagers (13-19) killed
244 teenagers (13-19) shot and wounded 10 shot (5 killed) by
the CPD (Here is a no-holds-barred rant about the crazy contrast with what goes
on in Chicago all the time, and the massive upset about the Michael Brown case.
What a sad and still shocking (to me, at least) situation there. 29 teenagers
killed, 5 of them by the police department. Assumably all "good
shoots" since we haven't heard any screaming about them. Which means they
were shot by police of the same race, or they were armed and shooting at the
cops at the time, at least that's my best guess. The problem of violence among
young Black men in urban settings has been around for a very long time now, how
many of us can remember when it wasn't going on every day as it is today? But
we aren't seeing any famous leaders working on major campaigns to find ways to
lessen all this tragedy. I guess that means they can't play it for politics and
power for themselves. --Del )
Unverified
When the Law Is a
Drag. By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt: In the Ferguson disaster, the law was the greatest casualty.
Civilization cannot long work if youths strong-arm shop owners and take what
they want. Or walk down the middle of highways high on illicit drugs. Or attack
police officers and seek to grab their weapons. Or fail to obey an officer’s
command to halt. Or deliberately give false testimonies to authorities. Or
riot, burn, and loot. Or, in the more abstract sense, simply ignore the legal
findings of a grand jury; or, in critical legal theory fashion, seek to dismiss
the authority of the law because it is not deemed useful to some preconceived
theory of social justice. Do that and society crumbles. (A nation of
laws...That's what we used to be, by and large. And that's not exactly the way
it's been lately, and Hanson examines this, all too well. When can we hope for
things to get better again? Del )
Obamacare/Government Healthcare News
Excerpt: New York
state health officials have stopped a nonprofit group from providing free
medical care to thousands of patients lacking health insurance during a
four-day dental conference that starts Friday. The nonprofit, Remote Area
Medical, had raised $3 million and enlisted hundreds of volunteer doctors and
other medical workers to offer a range of health services, including dental
care, new eyeglasses and other services. The group had planned to treat about
7,000 patients at the New York Sate event. (Really...not enough democratic
control in that state? --George)

MS-13 murder suspect
extradited to her home country of El Salvador
Excerpt: According to DHS's Immigration and Customs
Enforcement officials, 25-year-old MS-13 gang member Margarita del Carmen
Orellana-Rivas was wanted in the violence-ridden and impoverished country of El Salvador for
her assisting fellow gang members in perpetrating three aggravated murders. (Must
be one of those kids we need to be more compassionate towards. ~Bob)
Obama changes tune on
immigration: Yes, I changed the law
Excerpt: Until this week, both the president and White House
staff insisted that Obama did not change the law and indeed could not change
the law without the cooperation of Congress. ... Fast forward to Tuesday, when
Obama was speaking on immigration reform to a group in Chicago . When protesters began yelling at
Obama to stop all deportations, the president became frustrated and answered:
"There have been significant numbers of deportations. That's true. But
what you're not paying attention to is the fact that I just took action to change the law."
How a Wealthy California Town
Excerpt: On the basis of that investigation they determined
that Vivian’s legal residence is her grandmother’s home in Bay Point , California Orinda elementary school. Never mind that Vivian and her
mother live during the workweek at the Orinda home where Vivian’s mother is a
nanny, that Vivian has her own bedroom in that home with her clothing and toys
and even her own bathroom, that she and her mother stock their own shelves in
the refrigerator and kitchen cupboard of that Orinda home, or that Vivian
attends church with her mother in Orinda and takes gym and youth theater
classes at the Orinda community center. The point is Vivian is Latina
and poor, and Orinda is white, Anglo and
wealthy. (I love this story. From the 'happy ending' department, 66% of voters
are registered Democrats. Glad they are so generous and non-racist. --George)
Religion of Peace News
Question of Palestine
Excerpt: I stand before the world as a proud representative
of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. I stand tall before you knowing
that truth and morality are on my side. And yet, I stand here knowing that
today in this Assembly, truth will be turned on its head and morality cast
aside. The fact of the matter is that when members of the international
community speak about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a fog descends to cloud
all logic and moral clarity. The result isn't realpolitik, its surreal politik.
(Nicely said, not that it made a particle of difference to the nations of the
UN. The culture of hate that has been nourished among Arabs in general and
Palestinians in particular for the past 50 years is truly impressive and very
scary. The way that the barbarians of ISIS act
towards everyone not exactly of their group comes from the glorification of
brutality and violence that has been taught to young Arab Muslims for several
generations now. And sadly, tragically for everyone, this just goes on, and Sweden
and too many other countries become enablers of the terrorism so that it will
never get any better, only worse. What a horrible, stupid mess. --Del )
The Real Islam: Couple killed by family for marrying
against wishes
Excerpt: Talb, the brother of the girl, was enraged after
the local panchayat did not pass any adverse judgement Friday against the
marriage of the boy (Hindu) and girl (Muslim) in a court two months back. Late
Friday evening he along with three or four of his family members barged into
the house where Sonu and Danishta were living. He attacked Sonu with an axe and
killed him. When Danishta rushed out to raise an alarm and seek help of the
neighbours, he killed her, too.
15 dead in attack in
west China
Excerpt: An attack in China’s troubled western Xinjiang
region left 15 people dead and 14 injured, state media reported Saturday, the
latest in a wave of ethnic violence there that has claimed dozens of lives over
the past year. ... The Tianshan news portal said the assailants in Friday’s
attack wielded explosives, knives and at least one vehicle. Xinhua reported
that 11 of the 15 people killed were assailants.
Excerpt: Where did he get this idea? From the Qur’an. “The
believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their
prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain
from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the
captives) whom their right hands possess, for (in their case) they are free
from blame.” (Qur’an 23:1-6)
Muslim Religious
Leader says Saying Merry Christmas is Worse than Murder
Excerpt: Think you can coexist with the Muslim community?
Then you probably haven’t heard what this western Islamic religious leader has
to say about the horror that is… saying “Merry Christmas." Yes, according
to this Muslim, saying Merry Christmas is worse than murder (which, by the way,
means Muslims killing other Muslims because killing an infidel like you or me
ain’t no big deal). (.”(Have we had enough yet? --JB)
Is Islamism a
Totalitarian System Like Nazism and Communism? By Ron Lipsman
Excerpt: The concept of a totalitarian state was an
invention of the twentieth century. The notion of a state or nation whose
government could control virtually all aspects of its citizens’ lives was not
conceivable in prior times. It is certainly true that in monarchies throughout
history, the average subject had little capability to individually alter his
finances, geographical mobility or political status. But the monarch’s reach
into the personal life of his subjects was largely restricted to the upper
aristocratic coterie that surrounded him. Tradition, religion, ethnic
constraints and geographical proximity were far more influential in determining
the beliefs and behavior of the average subject than were the machinations of
the king.
On Facebook, Muslim
cleric preaches killing of women and children. By Robert Spencer,
JihadWatch.org
Excerpt: “In a section titled ‘killing women and children’
he said this was usually not permissible, but stated: ‘Having said this, one
must distinguish between killing women and children and the Mujahideen fighting
the Kuffar [non-believers] enemies wherever they find them, whether that be in
a school or hospital or elsewhere.’ He also gave religious authority to the
killing of Muslims. He said in a video on Facebook: ‘Anybody who allies with a
taghoot regime [non-Muslims] whether Sunni or Shi’i has no sanctity and his
blood is permissible.’ In another posting, he declared that Jews and Christians
were ‘enemies’, adding: ‘That animosity is exposed, clear, explicit, there is
no doubt about it.'”
Al Qaeda plot to blow
up 5 passenger planes in Christmas 'spectacular'
Excerpt: The warning comes as Whitehall
officials admit that a terror strike on the UK
is now "almost inevitable" particularly with British jihadis
returning from fighting alongside the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria . An airport security source
told the Sunday Express: "We've been told that five planes are being
targeted in a high profile hit before Christmas. They've been waiting for the
big one.
Worth Reading : Ex-AP
Reporter – Media Imbalance Toward Israel
That can inhibit the breadth of reporting presented to the
world, a glaring flaw when it comes to reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict, former Associated Press Jerusalem correspondent Matti Friedman writes in an article for The
Atlantic. ... A "distaste for Israel has come to be something
between an acceptable prejudice and a prerequisite for entry," he writes
in the Atlantic piece. "The Israel story" is "a
simple narrative in which there is a bad guy who doesn't want peace and a good
guy who does."
Plotting New
Violence, Hamas Dissolves Unity Government with Fatah
Excerpt: Hamas announced Sunday that the unity government with
Fatah has collapsed. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri accused Palestinian
Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas of spreading lies by claiming that Hamas
and Israel held secret
negotiations concerning Hamas rule in the West Bank .
In an interview on Egyptian television, reported by Israel 's
Channel 10, Abbas claimed that Israel
offered Hamas control over half of the West Bank
and future negotiations would decide control over the remaining
territory.
Muslim scholar:
Jihadis are fighting Jews, “kings of gold, sex and the media.” By Robert
Spencer, JihadWatch.org
Democracy and the
Jewish State. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: Never mind the Islamic State and its boxes of
heads. The consensus among politicians and the media is that the real crisis in
the region is that the Jewish State is declaring itself a Jewish State. Again. Israel ’s flag
carries the six-pointed star that was the seal of the House of David. Its
anthem speaks of the “Jewish spirit.” Israel ’s Declaration of
Independence declared “the establishment of a Jewish State.”
Excerpt: Both Hitler and Himmler had a soft spot for Islam.
Hitler several times fantasized that, if the Saracens had not been stopped at
the Battle of Tours, Islam would have spread through the European continent—and
that would have been a good thing, since “Jewish Christianity” wouldn’t have
gone on to poison Europe. Christianity doted on weakness and suffering, while
Islam extolled strength, Hitler believed. Himmler in a January 1944 speech
called Islam “a practical and attractive religion for soldiers,” with its
promise of paradise and beautiful women for brave martyrs after their death.
“This is the kind of language a soldier understands,” Himmler gushed.
Excerpt: Yehuda Avner, a former advisor to multiple Israeli
Prime Ministers, wrote an essay, The
Mughrabi Gate Incident, which is worth reviewing for those who wonder
about the Jewish right to pray at the Temple Mount
