I take note that those depicted are more or less conservatives So hows about all those 'Libs' from the Vietnam war to the present 'lefties' who cherry pick an issue and give it far left slant even to the extent of creating fake scenarios as in 'fake news'.

The father of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl slammed the Obama administration’s decision to hold a PUBLIC trial for admitted 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed — who boasted of killing his son in Pakistan. His son’s beheading in 2002 was caught on a gruesome video that shocked the world. Judea Pearl said he was “sick to the stomach” when he heard that the Justice Department decided to prosecute Mohammed in Manhattan federal court. “I don’t want to hear every morning in the papers what KSM did. Danny was killed once. Now he will be killed 10 times a day. Leave him alone. The 21st century saw three shocks,” Pearl said. “The first was 9/11. The second was the killing of my son. And the third was the shock today.” The reporter’s outraged father, a UCLA professor, said a PUBLIC trial would allow the admitted mass murderer to “boast about his cruelty” and encourage other terrorists to inflict harm. Pearl said the prosecution of Mohammed should be done in CLOSED session to avoid giving terrorists a platform.


I also remember Barack Obama taking heavy criticism when he went golfing during his vacation just minutes after denouncing the militants who had BEHEADED American journalist, James Foley. He went golfing on Martha's Vineyard after delivering that statement in which he said he'd JUST GOTTEN OFF THE PHONE WITH JAMES' PARENTS!!! His lame "COMPASSION" extended to NBC's "Meet the Press" when he "oh so poignantly remarked" that there always will be tough news somewhere, but that he "SHOULD'VE ANTICIPATED THE OPTICS" of immediately going to play golf. (CERTAINLY!! THOSE OPTICS WERE THE IMPORTANT THING - NOT THE DEVASTATION FOLEY'S PARENTS MUST HAVE FELT AFTER GETTING THAT CALL! HOW THE HECK COULD ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF EMPATHY BE THAT CALLOUS!!) - However, deflecting, as he was wont to do, Obama said the MORE IMPORTANT question was whether he was getting the policies right and protecting the American people. On that score, he said he's done a very good job. (SURE HE DID!! ISIS WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS "POLICIES!")

Pearl and Foley were almost the same age when they died. Both were working for American news outlets. Both were captured by Islamist extremists and had video recordings of their executions released.

But golf was not the only distraction for the ex-President. There were also those fund-raisers!!

It can be no surprise that the most important, most essential, most paramount of all fund-raisers was that of 9/12/12 in Las Vegas. Of course, it was "inconvenient" for the "oh-so-patriotic" President Obama that, on 9/11/12, there was a terrorist attack in Libya. The American Ambassador and three other brave American officials (including two Navy Seals) were massacred!! Their bodies were dragged through the streets to a cheering mob. AND ON THE DAY FOLLOWING THIS ATROCITY, Obama expressed his distress over a dumb anti-Islamic video and a "spontaneous protest" - which he DECEPTIVELY blamed for the debacle. The actual truth, was determined to be "RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM," but OLIGARCH OBAMA MANDATED THAT PHRASE SHOULD NEVER TO BE UTTERED!! Then it was announced that Obama would continue with the day's campaign schedule, beginning with his flight to Vegas. (Guess " Money and getting the heck out of Dodge" was even more important than the "optics" that time around!!! - CONTEMPTIBLE!!)

Great post Tradition. Yep...the pos with no heart and definitely no soul!!!

Kevyn,
None of the AHoles above know anything about real love of country. All they know is how to call names and repeat the Trump/Barren self-serving lies fed to them by the Kochs, the NRA, and the Russians. If there are any of these uneducated, so-called Patriots who served in Korea 66 years ago as I did, I'd be willing to have a civil conversation over a RobRoy, but I'll bet there are damn few takers.

When you start out with calling names...that means you're just like any other leftist anti-American domestic jihadist...and then your service to the nation... isn't as important as it should be...if you're actually over 25 years of age it would be surprising ..

ron vrooman Loc: Now OR, born NV

I deny your claim. I was a US citizen until 2014 at age 75 when I found the fraud.
I'll converse with you and start with the founding documents are law circa 1819 thru 1860-61.

You guys are always piling on, from the wrong side of course.

The administration wants these blogs cleaned up, Kevyn. Did you miss something?

__________________________________________________________________________________________

I DO love this country, MalG, and I am replying to your response to Kevyn on a personal level. No, I did not serve in Korea. My allegiance to America comes from the devotion of my Italian immigrant grandparents and my deceased husband, who served aboard the Hazelwood during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Nothing in my post was deceptive. What Obama said and did, and didn't do, was the truth. You may not want to agree, but that's your opinion; it is not mine. You accuse Trump, Koch, the NRA and the Russians and, I assume, all Republicans/Conservatives, of being *holes and uneducated; then you suggest a "civil" conversation. That is certainly an odd way of making a request. If you wish to have a "civil" discourse with someone, it is not exactly the wisest thing to use expletives and insults in doing so - people may consider you rude and uneducated.

Whether Trump was the right choice or not was an enigma. This was his first election. Hillary, on the other hand, was a seasoned politician - She was a former U.S. Senator, the 67th U.S. Secretary of State, the Former First Lady of the U.S., the former First Lady of Arkansas, and she served on the House Judiciary Committee. So it is incredulous that the woman was too clueless to recognize a "Classified Marking" in an email or too incompetent to handle two email accounts at once!! I can't understand how any military man or woman could vote for her. The email scandal alone, in which she compromised National Security by using an UNSECURED SERVER, put our soldiers at additional risk. Her Benghazi lies and dismissiveness did not exactly endear her to our best and bravest.

Hillary's "empathetic" answer to the allegation of "widespread" problems with the VA: "There have been a number of surveys of veterans," Hillary argued, "and overall, veterans who do get treated, are SATISFIED with their treatments. Now, nobody would believe that from the coverage that you see, and the constant berating of the VA that comes FROM THE REPUBLICANS, IN PART IN PURSUIT OF THIS IDEOLOGICAL AGENDA THAT THEY HAVE." (SURE, HILLARY - THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA IS TO CALL OUR VETERANS "LIARS" BECAUSE THEY WERE REALLY RECEIVING EXEMPLARY CARE DURING HER DAYS AS SOS!! THEN WHY, HILLARY, WHY WERE THERE 20 VETERAN SUICIDES A DAY - YES, A DAY!!!). THAT IS HILLARY'S IDEOLOGY - TO CALL VICTIMS' FAMILIES "LIARS" - AS SHE ACCUSED THE FAMILIES OF BENGHAZI!!)

How typical of her. Instead of investigating the suicide rate of our military, her response was completely "political" - it's a "vast right wing conspiracy." (She didn't even wait a day to commiserate with the victims of the mass shooting in Vegas, before she started pontificating about Gun Control.) In the VA's first public posting of adverse actions against employees, terminations, suspensions and demotions, showed that the department fired 525 staffers from Jan. 20, when President Trump took office, through July 3.

President Trump was in office a mere four months when he addressed the chronic problems in the VA by signing a bill that extends stopgap services for veterans to go outside the VA medical system for care.

Six months in office and President Trump signed a bill into law that would expedite the process for top officials to fire problematic employees at the long-troubled U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. “Our wounded warriors have given everything they have to this nation and we owe them everything we have in return.” (BRAVO, MR. PRESIDENT!!)

The bill was designed as a response to a series of scandals at the government’s second-largest agency, including a 2014 incident where VA employees created secret lists to cover up long wait times for appointments. Critics said VETERANS HAVE DIED WAITING FOR CARE and that a few bad workers have been fired for misconduct. The first public posting of adverse actions against employees-- terminations, suspensions and demotions--showed that the VA department fired 525 staffers from Jan. 20, when President Trump took office, through July 3.

You can cling steadfastly to your Dem/Liberal ideas, MalG despite what I have posted. That's your choice and you fought for the right to it. And so, I thank you for the service you rendered our country. That is something that should never be dismissed or forgotten.

Excellent post tradition!!

Hey roy. Doing good here. Matter of fact, my grandson, and I got to see a newborn Appaloosa foal take her first steps today in the pasture next to mine. Missed the birth, but saw life begin anyway. Been a good day. I hope you, and yours are well.
