So, round the clock coverage of Ferguson where the only person who died was Michael Brown. National Guard called up, curfews imposed, etc.

9 killed, a dozen wounded, 175 arrested, police officers shot at and the "bike clubs" have called for reinforcements to help them kill cops in Waco . . . And no calls for educated whites to hold their white trash counterparts accountable? Where is the white church's condemnation of this behavior? Why aren't the Klan and the Moral Majority flooding the trailer parks, meth labs and titty bars with programs to reach misguided white youth? If white kids stayed in school and had jobs, they wouldn't have time for mischief.

The shame of it all has been the breakdown of the white family. The bastardy rate of white kids is at an all time high, and white marriage is at an all time low. Too many white households are headed by women and young white boys lack role models, so they seek out role models among bike thugs and meth dealers.

And of course, there's that vicious, horrible, misogynistic music their kids listen to all the time. It's like white kids are being programmed for a life of crime from birth.

Theres nobody who thinks these biker dudes didn't get what they deserved.

I will agree with that. I will not blame the cops. I will not blame lack of access to education. I will not blame the restaurant. I will not excuse their behavior. The white people shot by police probably deserved to be shot by the police. Those white bikers were thugs, plain and simple, just like Michael Brown.

Fuck bikers and their fat whores riding on the back.

Officials suspected this tragedy was a possibility yet security was overwhelmed by the sheer number of violence-prone individuals.

Nine dead, scores wounded - no doubt there will 8 or 9 Congressional investigations as a result. Since the feds have already deemed Texas to be hostile territory...I'll be interested to hear of Kerry's goings-on leading up to the biker uprising. Was he asleep at the wheel?

[Toemeesleather]

The asleep at the wheel thing is Ramadi, confusing for you, I know.

[Professor Tiger]

I am shocked by the bikerphobia around here. The Diablos and Sons of Satan are just misunderstood. They are merely victims of this intolerant society. You bigots disgust me.

[Professor Tiger]

I didn't want to rule Jeb Bush out just because of his last name. But his repeated deer-in-the-headlights look and visible discomfort in telling the truth about the Iraq invasion - that it was an unmitigated disaster - really decreased his stock IMO. And when I heard he's got Paul Wolfowitz on his team as foreign policy advisor, that was it. He isn't getting my vote.

[bluetick]

At least he's not one of the NJs.

SOooo many NJs...

[Dr. Strangelove]

Paul Wolfowitz???? I thought he was trying to separate himself from his brother, not hire the same damn national security team

[Professor Tiger]

He supposedly hired some other neocon advisors whose names aren't as well known as Wolfowitz, but were part of W's "Ready, shoot, aim" foreign policy braintrust.

And Tick, in my book the inability to admit the Iraq disaster (without being waterboarded), and hiring its architects, is the #1 hallmark of a NJ.

And speaking of Kerry, perhaps he will meet with the biker gang leaders and give them the city of Waco if they pinky-swear not to behave badly ever again.

[Professor Tiger]

Maybe Jeb could bring back Rumsfeld and Cheney too. They're tanned, rested and ready. It would be like...

In the 2012 campaign, Obama spoke not only of killing Osama bin Laden; he also said that Al Qaeda had been “decimated.” I pointed out that the flag of Al Qaeda is now flying in Falluja, in Iraq, and among various rebel factions in Syria; Al Qaeda has asserted a presence in parts of Africa, too.

“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,” Obama said, resorting to an uncharacteristically flip analogy. “I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.

It is hard to put a good spin on the Obama administration's dealings in the Middle East.

The nuclear treaty negotiations with Iran now reportedly not only won't be sent to the Senate for ratification, but won't even be in writing. Negotiations that started with a goal of not allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons are ending with an almost-guarantee that they will have them. Not only will they have them, but their centrifuges from producing plutonium will be allowed to exist in underground hardened bunkers to protect them from air attacks.

Just to demonstrate their good will at a crucial time in the negotiation, the Iranian leader led the masses in a "death to America" chant, which the Obama administration dismissed as just rhetoric for internal consumption.

This is the same Iranian government that supported the fall of the capitol of Yemen, and in the process got reams of confidential U.S. spy data, gaining a potential roadmap to find and kill those people in the region who have been helpful to our national interests.

An Iranian takeover of Yemen would mean that the Iranians control both of the chokepoints that Saudi Arabia's oil must pass through to get to the world. With Iran and Saudi Arabia sharing the Persian Gulf narrowing at the Straits of Hormuz, Iran's control of Yemen poses an existential threat to the Saudis. This explains why the Saudi Air Force is running bombing missions against the Iranian-supported rebel positions.

Iran has also effectively taken over Iraq and with U.S. air support, the "Iraqi" army is fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). However, for anyone paying close attention, this fight is somewhat illusory, as it is reported by The Independent in Great Britain that after defeating ISIS in the town of Amerli, the "good guys" burned down the homes of all the Sunni Muslim residents.

With war waging all over the Middle East, the one cool spot is Israel, yet President Obama is not content to allow this to continue for long. The revelation that the administration has released information about Israel's nuclear program effectively ends our alliance with the only democracy in the region. On a pop culture note: This probably even means that the character Ziva David is never coming back to "NCIS."

In the past, the Mossad and the CIA have engaged in what is purportedly pretty broad information sharing. Now, Israel cannot share information with the U.S. without an expectation that the information won't be made public.

What's more, none of the U.S. allies can depend on the CIA for information or trust that they can engage in a sharing arrangement with the normal expectations of secrecy.

Once trust is broken with one former friend, every current friend becomes necessarily skittish. This churlish decision by Obama in the wake of his failed attempt to electorally take over the Israeli government is a devastating blow to our nation's worldwide efforts to track and stop terrorist networks and will have ramifications that last decades.

In Egypt, Obama is seen as the enemy by the government that has declared his Muslim Brotherhood allies to be enemies of the state. All this without mentioning how Obama's Libyan war effort ended with the death of our own ambassador and three others by an al Qaeda-affiliated crowd.

It is shocking that a man whose first major foreign policy effort was built around his "A New Beginning" speech in Cairo in June 2009 could have been so wrong about everything in the most dangerous region in the world. Yet the wars waged all over the region are Obama's legacy, and as the Iranian nuclear deal demonstrates that he doesn't even recognize the mess he's created.

Liberal journalist Ron Fournier slammed President Obama as the “Underestimater-in-Chief” Sunday, accusing him of failing to anticipate the power and resolve of American enemies in the Middle East and worldwide.

On Fox News Sunday, the National Journal writer bemoaned the White House’s consistent underestimation of threats around the globe — particularly the Islamic State, an ultra-violent jihadist group sweeping through northern Iraq and attempting genocide.

“This is a president that underestimated [the Islamic State] — he called them jayvee,” Fournier said. “He underestimated what was going to happen after Libya. He underestimated Putin.”

“He’s been the Commander-in-Chief or the Underestimater-in-Chief,” he charged. “So I don’t want him to underestimate — we can’t afford the president to underestimate this threat.”

Speaking of NJs...


Washington (CNN) In his commencement speech to the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut, President Barack Obama will focus on a topic he calls an immediate national security threat: climate change.

"Climate change will impact every country on the planet. No nation is immune," Obama will say, according to excerpts from his prepared remarks. "So I am here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security, and, make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country.

A few beheading videos and Iraqi troops cut-and-running like middle-school girls = ISIL being the greatest threat around the globe.

Is it any wonder why toe backs Ted "The World is on FIRE" Cruz?

[Professor Tiger]

Toe, if you think the Middle East is bad now (and it is) wait 'til the ISIS flag flies over Baghdad, Iran tests their first nuke (which will leave Obama shocked - SHOCKED!) and 6 different Arab countries quickly have nukes.
