Your Tax Dollars at Work

And to the detriment of our economy and our nation through a population wholly unprepared—by design—for getting down the road in the real world.

Our colleges and universities are, in all ivory tower seriousness, allowing

a wide range of hybrid majors that allow them to pursue off-beat passions, such as pop culture, “peace studies,” even love.

Sure, there are anecdotes of business success. But such isolated instances don’t belie the trend. A trend your tax dollars are supporting via Federal government grants, often in entirely unrelated areas, to secondary “education” institutions that engage in such froo-froo.

Timid Democrats

Forty-two Democratic Party Senators on Thursday voted to block a cloture vote on the Corker-Cardin-mandated resolution concerning President Barack Obama’s nuclear weapons agreement with Iran. A successful cloture vote would have allowed a floor vote on a resolution disapproving the agreement, forcing Obama to veto the resolution, and that would have set up a veto override fight.

These 42 Democrats were too timid to have to actually vote on the resolution, and they were too timid to have to actually vote on the resolution a second time in that veto override fight. These 42 Democrats were timid enough, too, to protect their timid President from having actually to veto something.

These 42 Democrats, too, had voted unanimously to have exactly this floor vote—demanded this floor vote, not a cloture vote—when they voted, every single one of them, to pass Corker-Cardin.

We can’t afford such timidity or duplicity any longer. Remember this palpable fear with its duty-shirking and the dishonesty inherent in them in 14 months. Remember those 42 Democrats.

Every single one of them.

Her Latest “Apology”

I should have used two accounts. One for personal, one for work-related emails. That was a mistake. I’m sorry about that. I take responsibility.

More of Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s empty words. What is Clinton actually doing about the responsibility she’s…taking…besides just talking about it?

Too Desperate for Diplomacy

In July 2012, [then-Secretary of State] Clinton’s closest foreign-policy aide, Jake Sullivan, met in secret with Iranian diplomats in Oman, but made no progress in ending the dispute over Iran’s nuclear program. In a string of high-level meetings here over the next six months, the Secretary of State and White House concluded that they might have to let Iran continue to enrich uranium at small levels, if the diplomacy had any hope of succeeding.

The beginning of this administration’s decision to let Iran develop nuclear weapons behind the fig leaf of the JCPA.

Her diplomatic legacy, and President Barack Obama’s diplomatic legacy, are more important than the safety of Israel. More so than the safety of the United States, too, since the same fig leaf fundamentally removes barriers to Iran’s parallel intercontinental ballistic missile development program.

Remember this in 18 months. Remember this even if Senator Bernie Sanders (I, VT) is the Democrats’ nominee for the Presidency: these are Democrats who’ve perpetrated this. Remember this even if Vice President Joe Biden is the Democrats’ nominee: as the number two guy in Obama’s White House, he’s in this travesty up to his neck.

What’s Their Plan

…to fix the underlying problem?

Germany’s vice chancellor [Sigmar Gabriel] said his country could take in 500,000 refugees annually for the next several years….

The Hungarians, at the gate to Europe (remember the Ottoman onslaught that overran Hungary and didn’t stop until Vienna?), understand.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned in an interview with Austrian television late Monday that millions of refugees would descend upon the continent if what he called Germany’s “open door” policy continued.

“As long as Europe cannot protect its external borders it makes no sense to discuss the fate of those flowing in,” Orban said.

In what way does anyone in Europe think taking in all comers—however sad their story—will in any way stem the flood? In what way does anyone in Europe think taking in all comers will in any way alleviate the suffering of those who’ve not yet left their home country(s) or, especially, those who cannot leave?

In what way does anyone in Europe think they can absorb the flood without going to the source and correcting the problems there?
