She's not really jumping ship, but she has her life-vest on and she's searching for a lifeboat. Shame on you, Ann! True, it's definitely time for Trump to get his s**t together, but come on Ann. He's only been in 100 and some days. Everybody going to have a hiccup along the way. First political job and it's a big one. Cut him some slack, at least for the first 365. http://hotair.com/archives/2017/05/15/coulter-know-trump-h**ers-right/?utm_source=hadaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Attack On Syria: The T***h Is Exposed ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


Former DIA Colonel:
"US strikes on Syria based on a lie”
(BTW; all Trump did was continue what all the other Republicrat CFR administrations did before him)

“In the coming days the American people will learn that the [US]Intelligence Community knew that Syria did not drop a military chemical weapon on innocent civilians in Idlib.”

Former DIA Colonel Patrick Lang

Patrick Lang — a former DIA Colonel — does not mince words about the US attacks on Syria. Lang claims that Donald Trump’s decision to launch cruise missile strikes on a Syrian Air Force Base was based on a lie. Follow us on Twitter: @INTEL_TODAY
Patrick Lang is truly a top expert on the Middle-East. The former DIA Colonel is highly respected for his deep knowledge and absolute honesty.

[NOTE: Many years ago, Lang helped me to understand a very ‘murky’ dossier regarding Libya. I trust his analysis 100%. Last week — knowing full well that ‘the s**t was going to hit the fan’ — I asked him permission to reproduce his posts on my blog. Colonel Lang kindly agreed.]

ANALYSIS by retired Col. Patrick LANG

Donald Trump’s decision to launch cruise missile strikes on a Syrian Air Force Base was based on a lie. In the coming days the American people will learn that the Intelligence Community knew that Syria did not drop a military chemical weapon on innocent civilians in Idlib. Here is what happened.

The Russians briefed the United States on the proposed target. This is a process that started more than two months ago. There is a dedicated phone line that is being used to coordinate and deconflict (i.e., prevent US and Russian air assets from shooting at each other) the upcoming operation.

The United States was fully briefed on the fact that there was a target in Idlib that the Russians believe was a weapons/ explosives depot for Islamic rebels.

The Syrian Air Force hit the target with conventional weapons. All involved expected to see a massive secondary explosion. That did not happen. Instead, smoke, chemical smoke, began billowing from the site. It turns out that the Islamic rebels used that site to store chemicals, not sarin, that were deadly. The chemicals included organic phosph**es and chlorine and they followed the wind and k**led civilians.

There was a strong wind blowing that day and the cloud was driven to a nearby village and caused casualties.

We know it was not sarin. How? Very simple. The so-called “first responders” handled the victims without gloves. If this had been sarin they would have died. Sarin on the skin will k**l you. How do I know? I went through “Live Agent” training at Fort McClellan in Alabama.
There are members of the U.S. military who were aware this strike would occur and it was recorded. There is a film record. At least the Defense Intelligence Agency knows that this was not a chemical weapon attack. In fact, Syrian military chemical weapons were destroyed with the help of Russia.

This is Gulf of Tonkin 2. How ironic. Donald Trump correctly castigated George W. Bush for launching an unprovoked, unjustified attack on Iraq in 2003. Now we have President Donald Trump doing the same damn thing. Worse in fact. Because the intelligence community had information showing that there was no chemical weapon launched by the Syrian Air Force.

Here’s the good news. The Russians and Syrians were informed, or at least were aware, that the attack was coming. They were able to remove a large number of their assets. The base the United States hit was something of a backwater. Donald Trump gets to pretend that he is a tough guy. He is not. He is a fool.

This attack was violation of international law. Donald Trump authorized an unjustified attack on a sovereign country. What is even more disturbing is that people like Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, CIA Director Mike Pompeo and NSA Director General McMaster went along with this charade.

Front line troops know the t***h. These facts will eventually come out. Donald Trump will most likely not finish his term as President. He will be impeached, I believe, once Congress is presented with irrefutable proof that he ignored and rejected intelligence that did not support the myth that Syria attacked with chemical weapons.

It should also alarm American taxpayers that we launched $100 million dollars of missiles to blow up sand and camel s**t. The Russians were aware that a strike was coming. I’m hoping that they and the Syrians withdrew their forces and aircraft from the base.

Wh**ever hope I had that Donald Trump would be a new kind of President, that hope is extinguished. He is a child and a moron. He committed an act of war without justification. But the fault is not his alone. Those who sit atop the NSC, the DOD, the CIA, the Department of State should have resigned in protest. They did not. They are complicit in a war crime.

While you are at it, consider that your personal health outcome is not merely a matter of health insurance. Let's not forget the role of personal responsibility:

By David French — May 6, 2017

Yesterday I wrote a relatively short piece taking issue with the idea — spread far and wide on the Left last week — that conservatives are literally k*****g people by v****g to repeal Obamacare. Through the use of a fictional character (named “Bob” — apologies to all the Bobs I alarmed on Twitter) I made some rather common-sense observations that a person’s health outcomes aren’t merely determined by the presence or absence of health insurance. I even implied that some portion of Bob’s health was actually — gasp — in Bob’s control. For example, his weight, his level of exercise, and whether he drank too much.

To read some folks on Twitter you’d think that I was blaming kids for getting cancer, denying my own mortality (yes, that was one explanation), or stating as a medically false blanket assertion that all chronic health problems are due to individual choices. It’s amazing how medicine changes when politics gets involved. Remove the politics, and doctor after doctor will tell you that you can improve your health outcomes by eating right, exercising, and getting good sleep. Conversely, you can hurt yourself if you’re obese, smoke, drink too much, or get addicted to drugs.

All of these elements are to greater and lesser degrees within our control. Everyone dies, and some people who do everything right die premature deaths, but in general it’s better to make better choices. As a good friend (a critical-care doctor here in Tennessee) told me, “If it weren’t for addictions, I’d be out of a job.” His ICU is full — on a nightly basis — with people suffering the effects of smoking, drug addiction, obesity, and alcoholism.

But that’s actual medicine. Political medicine is completely different. Political medicine takes an overweight alcoholic dying of heart disease and immediately asks, “Which of my political enemies put him in that sorry state?” And the more the politician suffers from a savior complex, the more they’re willing to ignore human agency to score their political point. The populist says that his job was shipped to China, and that sent him into a spiral of understandable depression. The technocrat claims that he was one job-training program and one government insurance policy away from prosperity.

Because politics can never create utopia, there will always be more than enough suffering to exploit. I’d like to think that conservatives are different. I’d like to think that we understand that politics matter, but human choices matter more. Absent catastrophe (which happens and should be mitigated when possible), in the United States of America it is still true that a person’s life outcomes are far more dependent on their choices and their family’s choices than they are on any government policy. So, sorry, technocrats and populists — Bob still controls his own life more than you do. Pretending he doesn’t helps you far more than it helps him.

Was phishing Sputniknews and found this tidbit:

"The president [V.Putin] himself recalls that work [as a KGB agent] in East Germany in the book "From the First Person":

"It was a job in political intelligence: getting information about politicians, about plans for a potential enemy," Putin explained.
Ordinary intelligence: recruiting sources of information, getting information, processing it and sending it to the center. It concerned information about political parties, trends within these parties, leaders---today's and possible tomorrow's, about promoting people to certain posts in parties and state apparatus. It was important to know who, how and what he does in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country of interest, as well as how it [the ministry] is forming its policy on different issues in different parts of the world, or what the position of our partners in the disarmament negotiations will be, for example, it was quite a routine work," Putin said.

What to do now?, as Lenin so poetically stated.

Over and over again we keep hearing (nearly always from liberals) that health care is a right. Got that? Not just a privilege, but a right. Who started this bunch of drivel? Our "rights" as Americans as stated in the Declaration of Independence consist of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I don't see the words "health care" in that phrase. Is there any mention of health care in the Constitution? I don't believe any mention of it was made in any of the writings of Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Payne, Patrick Henry, or any of the other Founders, yet the liberals continue to pound this drum in the hope that by pounding it loud enough eventually everyone will hear it. Well we hear it, but it's crap nevertheless. I even saw Ben Stein, who fancies himself a conservative, say that health care was a right, and I absolutely wanted to put my fist through the TV. Merely believing that something is good for people doesn't make it a right, and contrary to what the liberals would have us believe, the Constitution is not a "living, breathing document" which can be conveniently used as a basis to justify anything they believe to be good. Fortunately the Founders were a lot wiser than most liberals today.

Under the "pursuit of happiness" clause I figure:
You HAVE the right to pursue health care in your own way and to seek to treatment for an illness.
You DO NOT HAVE the right to force the government to pay for your health care or to force an insurance company to pay for it.

These aren't really difficult concepts except for liberals.

Do you recall Donald Rumsfeld's speech on September 10, 2001 stating that "According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in t***sactions." Considering that "The entire federal budget in 2000 was $1.8 trillion, so $2.3 trillion going missing is absolutely not something that could be swept under the rug."

Wired.com states that "Black Budget" expenditures are around $51 Billion (https://www.wired.com/2012/02/pentagons-black-budget/) per year, and the Washington Post in the account "Black Budget details U.S. operations, goals" reports the spending in the most recent cycle surpassed that amount based on the $52.6 billion detailed in documents obtained by The Post, plus a separate $23 billion dev**ed to intelligence programs that more directly support the U.S. military." So where did this figure come from? None other than the audacious whistleblower or infamous t*****r, depending on your viewpoint, revealed the figures. In the article, Snowden Reveals First Ever Public Disclosure Of Secret Black Budget Programs, the costs may be in the trillions."

Now the next question you should probably ask yourself is "Where does the money come from". Catherine Austin Fitts, answers with the claim that:

"The black budget has numerous sources. First, there is funding allocated in secret by Congressional "oversight" committees. Second, there are funds clawed from other agency appropriations. Third there are an endless series of other sources of funding include seizures, proceeds from the marketing of hard narcotics and engineering of mortgage and other financial fraud in your community and from many other illicit businesses operated globally by the intelligence cartel. Finally, I suspect one of the largest sources and uses has become market manipulations through the Exchange Stabilization Fund."

What makes this situation even worse is that "Somewhere along the way, genuine national defense is short-changed, even if one’s political views support the policy of imperium hegemony. The dominance of the military-industrial-complex comes not from their firepower systems, but from the ability to perpetuate a never-ending warfare society, based upon phony threats and a permanent aggressor interventionism and empire expansion."

When you hear our US servicemen complain about a lack of spare parts for their airplanes, and the constant need to cannibalize spare parts from other plane, or the lack of mechanics, just think of the billions going into the black budget, and how the black budget is funded.

If you are an investor in the stock market, or you speculate in precious metals, or you get taken in by a bond fraud, or wonder why there is so much illegal narcotics in the cities around our country, look no further than Washington, DC. After all, the monster must be fed!

The bleating, blather from trump and the republicans, who had 8 years to draft a realistic plan to "Repeal and Replace" the ACA is doomed to fail once again.

The simple reason is that neither trump or republicans have a clue about what they are trying to do, and the incredible stupid rightwingnut media, led by fat limbah and the fools at fox, have had no impact on a better plan.

And for the information of the usual low intellects on OPP, who are too stupid or uninformed, the republicans do not need a single Democrat v**e to pass trumpcare.

Nope, they are screwing trump and his i***tic plan all by themselves, and the trumpcare plan will be DOA if it would ever reach the senate.

Now after this latest beating, maybe trump will stop being such and i***tic ass, and work to IMPROVE the ACA.

There is a cacophony of complaints being directed at President Trump. Some are upset because he has retained certain members of the Obama administration whose loyalty to America is doubtful. Some are upset because as I write this there has yet to be a repeal of Obamacare; nor has there been a complete draining of the swamp as evidenced by the continued presence of the Democrat “bagman” Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, whose treachery far exceeds that of Speaker John Boehner before him.

There are those who are upset because it appears the president has backed off his promise to build the wall. There are those who are upset because he appears to have broken his word with regard to the bombing of Syria.

My suggestion is that everyone who claims to have supported President Trump’s historic e******n and who are now complaining that he is letting them down to take a deep breath and relax.

The president has not let us down. He has done more to stop the government from interfering in the lives of Americans in his first 100 days than any other president in history. He has accomplished more in his first 100 days than any other president since Franklin Roosevelt. (See a complete list of President Trump’s accomplishments in his first 100 days.)

Let me preface my remaining thoughts with this. Those who are familiar with my work know that I am not an ideologue. I no longer support the Republican Party as such; I support the president and certain congressional Republicans. I’ve held this position since the second term of President George W. Bush. My reasons for said position were evidenced as the so-called Republican Party did everything in its power to undermine the candidate of our choice.

With that in mind, I continue by pointing out that “you cannot reach a factual conclusion when you don’t know what you don’t know.” Many people watch cable news programming and/or listen to talk programming and believe that makes them informed.

In a perfect world that “might” be true, but ours is not a perfect world. It is important to understand that the majority of those on talk programming know nothing more than the public; they are just better at feigning they do. Additionally, l*****t anarchist groups are spending tens of millions upon tens of millions of dollars for the express purpose of promoting f**e news stories intended to disillusion and erode the president’s support.

They purpose not only to damage President Trump in the short term, but to prevent him from gaining seats in Congress in the off-year e******ns and weaken him for his re-e******n bid in 2020.

Trump is fighting anarchist groups, and he is also fighting members of his own party like Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, John McCain and a plethora of others, including the shadowy wraiths who did their best to prevent him from winning the nomination and the presidency.

He is also battling the courts, which are filled with activist judges appointed by Obama. These judges are undermining the president’s efforts to protect Americans from terrorists and to protect American taxpayers from i*****l a***ns who are receiving taxpayer benefits in sanctuary cities despite their heinous crimes.

President Trump is not a conventional politician. In fact he is not a politician at all. He is a successful businessman who understands how to create, build and get things done ahead of schedule and under budget.

Politicians lie and mislead us, take and misuse our money, and make promises they have no intentions of keeping.

As I said: “It [is] my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn’t see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned.” (Trump: A pragmatist, not a conservative,” Jan, 18, 2016)

I support the president, fully expecting him to do some things with which I will disagree. But I have every confidence that they will not be things that go against my orthodoxy. Only God does not disappoint.

President Trump is confronted with the incestuous cabal of Erebusic political marplots committed to making his presidency a failure. Paul Ryan et al. were more congenial and v**e-favorable to Obama than they are to President Trump.

There are those who only v**ed for Trump to keep Hillary Clinton from winning. Ergo, I expect them to find fault with him. There are those who “do not know what they don’t know” and believe the drone of hysteria and f**e-news lies being manufactured. Then there are those who complain as soon as things do not go exactly as promised.

I suggest we consider what the president has been able to accomplish in 100 days despite the relentless opposition he has faced. President Trump needs and deserves our support and trust. At such time that he ceases to warrant same, I will be at the front of the line condemning his actions.

All of us should read this carefully, learn from our elders and then look in a mirror and judge today:

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded sense of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse... A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.” — John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), “The Contest In America,” Fraser's Magazine, February 1862

By Dr. Keith Ablow Published April 28, 2017 Fox News



Precious little is known about the psychology of Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea. He reportedly attended school in Switzerland, under a pseudonym, while accompanied by an older student who served as his bodyguard.

Those who purport to have known him well during his education have described him as talented at mathematics and basketball, extremely competitive on the court and a great admirer of American basketball stars. He supposedly spent many hours on detailed pencil drawings of his favorites.

He was, reportedly, tremendously dev**ed to his father and extremely patriotic. He is, reportedly, married and the father of one or more children. He is said to be less averse to some elements of Western pop culture than his predecessors. That’s not a whole lot to go on.

I think there’s a reason why not much is known about Kim: Not much exists that defines him as an individual, rather than as the symbol and embodiment of the dynastic dictators, including his father and grandfather, who have ruled North Korea for many decades. In fact, Kim is said to be a carbon copy of his father, in body type and personality type.

My educated guess—informed by decades listening to a myriad of clients, including political leaders, gang leaders and organized crime figures—is that Kim was prevented from becoming a complete individual by being born into such a powerful, all-consuming family structure.

I have not, of course, interviewed Kim. But my educated guess—informed by decades listening to a myriad of clients, including political leaders, gang leaders and organized crime figures—is that Kim was prevented from becoming a complete individual by being born into such a powerful, all-consuming family structure. And those whose lives are commandeered by the legacies of others and who, therefore, lose the opportunity to express their real emotions and core interests, do have some things in common.

They are, first of all, filled with desperation and rage and may project it onto others, in irrational ways. The anger of a child, adolescent, teenager and young adult, whose real persona is “executed,” in favor of creating a clone of his dictator father, may know no bounds.

That person, in adulthood, may execute thousands of others, as Kim has reportedly done, rather than reflect upon and truly register his own psychological annihilation. And that person’s rage could even become manifest as an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, coupled with raw hostility toward other nations.

It may seem astounding to think that one human being, suffocated psychologically, could threaten the entire world with his internal fury bent 180 degrees and then released from the cauldron of his psyche, but that is Hitler’s story, too.

Is Kim Jong Un all bluster? Is the North Korean quest for nuclear arms and the means to deliver them to North America just a ploy to gain more leverage in foreign affairs?

I wouldn’t bet on that. The rage of a boy who may have dreamed of being a basketball player, or an artist, and became the living embodiment of his father, against his will, could project that death upon millions.

A beautiful,yet sad poem


It was many and many a year ago
in my kingdom by the sea
that a maiden there lived whom you may know
by the name of Annabel Lee
and the maiden she lived with no other thought
than to love and be loved by me

I was a child and she was a child
in this kingdom by the sea
but we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my Annabel Lee
with a love that winged seraphs of heaven
coveted her and me

And this was the reason that long ago
in this kingdom by the sea
a wind blew out of a cloud chilling
my beautiful Annabel Lee
so that her highborn kinsmen came
and bore her away from ne
to shut her up in a sepulchre
in this kingdom by the sea

The Angels not half so happy in Heaven
went envying her and me
yes that was the reason(as all men know)
in this kingdom by the sea
that the wind came out of cloud by night
chilling and k*****g my Annabel Lee

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
of those who were older than we
of many far wiser than we
and neither the angels in Heaven above
nor the demons down under the sea
can ever dissever my soul from the soul
of the beautiful Annabel Lee



For the moon never beams,without bringing me dreams
of the beautiful Annabel Lee
and the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
of the beautiful Annabel Lee
and so all the night-tide I lie down by the side
of my darling,my darling,my life and my bride
in the sepulchre there by the sea
in her tomb by the sounding sea
