Barry’s secret $8 billion deal

Posted on August 25, 2013 | 4 comments

The fall of Egpt’s Muslim Brotherhood took with it an $8 billion secret deal with the White House for the Brotherhood to hand over 40 percent of the Sinai to Gaza’s Hamas rulers, according to JoshuaPundit’s reading of a French Canadian report on Arab news media.

“There’s no question either than Morsi and the Brotherhood would sign off on the deal, since they needed the money and since their loyalty is to the Brotherhood and the making of the Caliphate rather than Egypt per se. The deal would also be a step towards integrating Hamasistan with Egypt, something else Morsi and his friends were very interested in. So the deal was a win-win for both sides.”

Was a win-win. Was. It would have expanded Gaza enormously, though the expansion would have been mostly sand and rocks. Now the sand and rocks will remain part of Egypt, courtesy of the IDF whose proviso is that Egyptian military does its best to keep it terrorist-free.

Where are all the hurricanes?

Posted on August 24, 2013 | 6 comments

Al Bore, Obongo and their tax-the-rich (but not them and their waivered few) warmist pals have told us over and over that we can expect more and more deadly hurricanes thanks to global warming, er, climate change, uh, climate disruption, ah, carbon pollution. Yes, that’s it, carbon pollution.

So where are they? This has been the slowest start to a hurricane season on record, i.e. since 1886. Among other inhibiting factors, too much dust is blowing west out of Africa, according to meteorologist Joe D’Aleo. His WeatherBell pal, Joe Bastardi, says we should get ready: “I think this is getting ready to crank up and we should have 2-3 weeks with 5-6 storms and probably a couple of them being major.”

Or not. Obongo did promise to calm the seas, after all, and, since he’s failed at pretty much everything else, he deserves one. And Al, well, as everyone knows, Al could talk anyone or anything to sleep—including hurricanes.

UPDATE: In addition, it’s been the mildest summer across the U.S. in a hundred years. We’ve had a few hundred degree days here but not near as many as usual.

What if Earth orbited Saturn?

Posted on August 24, 2013 | 2 comments

At the same distance we are from Luna (our moon), that is, which is 384,000 kilometers away. A cool video animation, with disinterested drivers in the foreground, gives you an idea of what it would look like.

Of course, the drivers could not be blase about the earthquakes and tidal waves such a thing would cause every minute of every day. Stuff that would make the lying Gorebot (James Taranto: “The guy has more whoppers than a Burger King”) and his climatechange pals look reasonable by comparison.

Thoughts on those black on white murders

Posted on August 23, 2013 | 4 comments

I hear they are eight times more common than the white on black ones that get all the Democrat news media and all the politicians and all the hoorah. Well, maybe.

I do know that blacks mostly kill each other which, if they were only confined to the evil trash-talking losers among them, would be fine with me. Unfortunately they also tend to kill the achievers, not to mention the innocent little kids.

But really, people, my main thought is why are black people, i.e. American Negroes, so damned whiny? Well, the ones who are whiny. I know several hard-working ones who don’t bother anyone and just get on with their lives. And are very pleasant when we chat at the market.

Unlike a former Army buddy (I use buddy loosely as we never were pals) who grew up with a silver spoon in his black mouth and yet whines and whines about racism. He wants to kill George Zimmerman. What a moron.

I think the problem with these people began when the rest of us
paid attention when they got all bent whenever some of us refused to play along with their appellations-du-jour.

People of color, instead of colored people. Balderdash. Why do white people allow themselves to be forced to play this stupid race game? Okay, so nigger is a pejorative. Except when it’s in a black mouth. Hypocritical poppycock. We should take a break from this nonsense.

Let the race-baiters choke on their indignation. That’s a sight I would pay to see. If we did we might lose fewer Australian baseball players and 88-year-old WW2 vets.

UPDATE: Reading Cobb, an engineer who is not a black stereotypical in any way, I realized I’ve been missing the sensible LaShawn Barber. She quit blogging to try to make some money by writing crime novels under a pen name. I hope that’s going well.

Is Barry insane?

Posted on August 22, 2013 | 5 comments

We know he’s a narcissist. But so are a lot of Americans these days. But, despite their destruction of at least 54 churches and monasteries in Egypt, he still backs the Muslim Brotherhood over the Egyptian military. Using the fig leaf about the MB’s dictatorship-in-the-making being democratically-elected and, as he did with Iran’s brief uprising, ignoring the popular will.

“What is the explanation for this absolutely self-destructive, even idiotic, policy on our part? There can be only one — the president of the United States is actually psychologically disturbed. He does not react in a normal manner. I know that’s a vicious and importunate thing to say, but the reaction to Egypt (and to Benghazi, for that matter) is not one of a psychologically healthy human being.”

PJMedia exec Roger L. Simon really, really doesn’t like Obongo. Even more so than me. But I’m coming around to his view.

Proof of extensive D.C. corruption

Posted on August 21, 2013 | 2 comments

When even dimwits like Eleanor Holmes Norton feel free to openly demand their share of the bribes, you know the system is hopelessly corrupted.

She does know the landscape, however. Who’s going to stop her? Holder and his “justice” department?

And there’s the example set by the Lizard Queen, who laundered the groper’s bribes as the First “Lady” of Arkansas. That’s what Whitewater was all about. She was secretary of state, before she got an ambassador murdered.
