Obama Attends Gay Gathering

With nothing better to do with his time, President Obama gases up Air Force One and flew across the country yesterday to attend numerous DNC fund raisers held at private residences in California and then gathered together with his buddy Ellen DeGeneres to gossip and gay dance a little bit and tape an upcoming show.

John Lewis Takes a Shot at Bernie's Civil Rights Creds

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga)

Democrat loudmouth firebrand and U.S. Rep. John Lewis who has real bona fide creds as a Civil Rights advocate, mainly for getting his face bashed in while trying to occupy a bridge somewhere back in the sixties, has a problem with Bernie Sanders claims of street cred as a civil rights pioneer. While both seem to still be living in the 1960's, they don't seem to see the past in the same mind.

Sanders has frequently talked up his history as an activist while he was at the University of Chicago in the 1960s and touted his work with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. But Lewis, a civil rights icon and leader of SNCC said he never saw Sanders at any events.

“I never saw him. I never met him. I was chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963 to 1966. I was involved with the sit-ins, the Freedom Rides, the March on Washington, the march from Selma to Montgomery and directed (the) voter education project for six years. But I met Hillary Clinton. I met President (Bill) Clinton.”

Not really surprising Lewis doesn't remember a guy like Bernie. After all, the civil rights movement of the 60's were full of white communist sympathizers like Sander, and he'd probably remember him if he had been around stirring up sh*t.....

Chris Christie Tells Himself To Sit Down And Shut Up

Remember when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was going to bully his way to the White House with his stellar platform, “It’s time to start offending people”? Boy did that get shut down faster than you can say “George Washington Bridge”

After a humiliating sixth place “win” in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, Christie decided to go home to think long and hard about how to announce that he is dropping out of the race without looking like a total loser. (Spoiler: Impossible.) He still hasn’t said it with his own big mouth, but screw him, we’re sick of waiting, so let’s get right to the pissing on the grave of his campaign, yeah?

Update:" I have both won elections that I was supposed to lose and I’ve lost elections I was supposed to win and what that means is you never know what will happen. That is both the magic and the mystery of politics – you never quite know when which is going to happen, even when you think you do. And so today, I leave the race without an ounce of regret...." 

Christie had such big hopes, once upon a time. With his oh-so-impressive popularity in his blue state of New Jersey, his vast experience remembering 9/11, and his courage to yell at anyone,  anyone at all, to shut the hell up, he figured he had a real good chance. Alas, he did not foresee that he would be upstaged and out-shouted by the even more brash D. J. Trump.  So it’s not really surprising that Christie’s quitting the race, only that he’s lasted this long. We’ve been on the Christie campaign death watch since at least September, when he insisted to Megyn Kelly that he was not dead yet and she laughed and laughed and laughed.  

We’d say we’ll miss Christie, but that’s a lie because with Trump, who needs him and his disgusting nacho cheese-greased fingers jabbing people in the face? Sure, it’s been a hoot watching him tell Marco Rubio what a jackass he is, but anyone can do that. So long and farewell, Chris Christie. Now you’ll have to go back to the state that doesn’t much care for you and stick to yelling at the locals.

Pentagon Orders Commanders to Prioritize Climate Change in All Military Actions

And Careful With Those Bombs Boys, You Libel to Hurt Someone

Yes, you read that headline correct. Read for yourselves....

Washington Times

The Pentagon is ordering the top brass to incorporate climate change into virtually everything they do, from testing weapons to training troops to war planning to joint exercises with allies.

A new directive’s theme: The U.S. Armed Forces must show “resilience” and beat back the threat based on “actionable science.” It says the military will not be able to maintain effectiveness unless the directive is followed. It orders the establishment of a new layer of bureaucracy — a wide array of “climate change boards, councils and working groups” to infuse climate change into “programs, plans and policies.”

The Pentagon defines resilience to climate change as: “Ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to changing conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions.”   

To four-star generals and admirals, among them the regional combatant commanders who plan and fight the nation’s wars, the directive tells them: “Incorporate climate change impacts into plans and operations and integrate DoD  guidance and analysis in Combatant Command planning to address climate change-related risks and opportunities across the full range of military operations, including steady-state campaign planning and operations and contingency planning.” 

The directive, “Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience,” is in line with President Obama’s view that global warming is the country’s foremost national security threat, or close to it. Mr. Obama says there is no debate on the existence of man-made global warming and its ensuing climate change. Supporters of this viewpoint label as “deniers” any scientists who disagree.

But there are stubborn doubters......
