Show us the proof, you perpetual liar

What fool could possible trust our little Barry Hussein’s sanctioning of Russia by expelling diplomats, closing their private property and, presumably, soon imposing economic punishment as well. All for the Rooskie’s alleged hacking of the DNC and the Hildafelon’s unsecured classified information, thereby meddling in the presidential election. Show us the proof, you perpetual liar.

Why would Russia want to defeat the easily-bribed Clinton Crime Syndicate in favor of the unpredictable Trump who already has more money than he knows what to do with? Unlike Hussein’s antisemitic strike against Israel, which showed whose side he has been on all along, this latest bit of political theater is strictly a diversion. Quick, look at the squirrel! It is merely a side effect that, in drawing the inevitably mockery of the Russians, it promises resumption of the Cold War, perhaps even an eventual hot one.

UPDATE:  The administration has released a report with little to no actual proof, just repetition of the accusations. Chief Dim lapdog, the WaPo, then came out with story of Russian hacking of a Vermont electric company with invasive malware. Private cybersecurity firms quickly pointed out the malware is commonly available and, moreover, was only found on a company laptop with no connection to the grid. Even Rolling Stone, of all sources, finds the story “stinky.” But you’re sure to see it in your local news with no objections, since the news media sheep follow the leader, wagging their tails behind them.

MORE: Commonly available, indeed. And Ukrainian to boot. Perhaps Barry’s intel lapdogs confused Ukraine and Russia.

Game of Thrones

Okay, okay, I’m five years late to the party. I snubbed this television series back in 2011 as just another sword and sorcery epic unworthy of my time or attention.

I was wrong. I did a marathon watching of the Game of Thrones first season yesterday, streaming all ten of the videos via Amazon. It is gripping. The author of the books (I’m also reading the first one now) well deserves his wealth and his home in Santa Fe.

The best thing about the series, as the fellow who wrote the introduction to the first book puts it, is the way it proves that no one in their right mind would want to live in medieval times. Even the rich then barely lived above the level of our lower middle class. Their faces are always dirty because they never bathe. The usual Hollywood incongruity of all those impeccably straight white teeth looks even more ridiculous. And instead of focusing on the sorcery, the story shows the real evil to be the people of the times. The powerless as well as the powerful.

And as the first season ended, I couldn’t help noticing the resemblance of our jug-eared fool of a president to the petulant boy king of the story, ordering heads chopped and throats cut at whim. Barry is just more sophisticated about it, presumably, cutting throats by destroying the economy and diverting our attention from his failures by pushing the country towards war. At least the television series is leavened by a few genuinely honorable people amidst the devastation. Otherwise it could not be entertaining.

John Kerry: Moral Midget

Bill Kristol on Twitter: John Kerry entered public life 45 years ago slandering his fellow American servicemen. He leaves it slandering America’s finest ally.

Lurch singlehandedly created the “baby killer” meme which dogged us for decades. Now he ignores the 500,000 Syrians killed in favor of slandering Israel.

Good riddance to a moral midget.

Three and a half weeks to go

Before President Trump takes the oath of office, that is. Plenty of time for Bronco Bama and his minions Lurch and Slow Joe Biden to make things much worse in the Middle East by doubling down on their backstabbing of Israel. By ordering his UN minion to vote yes when the dictator’s club very likely puts up a new resolution setting out the borders of a so-called Palestinian Arab state.

Borders that very likely would cut Jerusalem in half, if not wholly severing it from Israel proper. Taking, at the very least, the Temple Mount and the holy Western Wall, and possibly the Jewish quarter as well. At least in UN fantasy.

At which point, the UN might as well declare war on Israel, as that would be its only chance of enforcement. And no chance even then. The blue helmets have never been known for combat prowess and the IDF would whip their sorry butts.

And our duplicitous skunk of a president, with his pathetic brag that he could have beaten Trump when Clinton couldn’t, despite his very personal campaigning to no avail on her behalf, won’t be remembered for achieving anything but one foreign and domestic disaster after another. Good riddance, you scumbag.

Meanwhile Charles Krauthammer is suggesting that Trump’s operation tear down the UN building and put up condos. But, please, only after heavy fumigating of the old site.

Rule 5: Jackie Evancho

jackie-evancho-photo-gallery-portrait-5

The 16-year-old soprano with the pretty face and sweet, pitch-perfect voice with the phrasing of a much older singer, is what they call a classical crossover. She sings opera (performing with tenor Placido Domingo) and show tunes (dueting with Barbra Streisand) and solos pop tunes such as The Rains of Castamere (from the Game of Thrones). She’ll be singing the National Anthem for Trump’s inauguration, unfazed by the leftist bashing she’s gotten since agreeing to. Since her audience is mainly adults who prefer traditional music, and probably voted for Trump as well, her album sales have shot through the roof.

At least Paxton isn’t in on this one

Texas AG Ken Paxton threw in with California Attorney General Kamela Harris back in October in legally hounding Backpage dot com for alleged pimping. The political grandstanding case was thrown out.

Now Harris is at it again, bringing essentially the same charges disguised as “new evidence.” At least Paxton isn’t in on this one. He has his own legal problems, facing felony fraud charges which are going to court soon.

Here’s why Jews are so angry

In simple terms. What the UN Security Council did, with our faithless president’s support was this:

“The Security Council voted to condemn as illegal the Israeli presence in the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, the Jewish presence at the Western Wall, the Jewish presence at the tombs of Abraham and Rachel [outside Hebron, southeast of Jerusalem], the Jewish presence in Jerusalem suburbs and in West Bank cities and towns whose positions secure the major population centers of the modern Jewish state from obliteration [by attacking Arabs].”

I feel certain President Trump won’t allow it to stand after Jan. 20. Nor will the U.S. Congress. Possibly by taking Ira Stoll’s advice and preparing a treaty between us and Israel against a hostile UN. Followed by elimination of some or all of our funding for the so-called world body which ignores real human rights violations everywhere while pummeling Israel over its alleged ones.
