Having acknowledged that this plan has failed — largely because Syrian opposition groups are more interested in taking on President Bashar al-Assad — the White House on Friday unveiled a plan that is even more incoherent and fraught with risk.<br /><br />The Pentagon will stop putting rebel fighters through training in neighboring countries, a program that was designed to ensure that fighters were properly vetted before they could get their hands on American weapons and ammunition. The new plan will simply funnel weapons through rebel leaders who are already in the fight and appear to be making some headway.<br /><br />“Obviously, this is a different approach, where we’re going to be vetting leaders as opposed to each individual fighter,” said Christine Wormuth, the Pentagon’s chief of policy.<br /><br />The initial plan was dubious.

Face it, the president and VP attend a lot of functions together and you never know.<br /><br />I bring this up only because Halloween is approaching. Can you imagine a speaker Alan West or Raul Labrador becoming president?<br /><br />Whoooooooo...Scary.<br /><br />Way scary.<br /><br />.<br /><br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-65454315815865209672015-10-10T20:56:27.370-04:002015-10-10T20:56:27.370-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-35360320190976419802015-10-10T20:31:45.668-04:002015-10-10T20:31:45.668-04:00CLOWN CAR !!!!

Here comes t...CLOWN CAR !!!!<br /><br />toot tooot tooooooot<br /><br />Here comes the Democratic Party Clown Car -<br /><br />Biden-mania shows the utter weakness of the Democratic Party's bench<br />Michael Brendan Dougherty<br />Illustrated by Jackie Friedman | Image courtesy REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst<br />October 8, 2015<br /><br />The 2016 presidential race presents a huge opportunity for the rising stars of the Democratic Party. Unfortunately for Democrats, only Joe Biden seems interested in seizing it.<br /><br />Hillary Clinton's poll numbers took a nose dive in June. Her favorability ratings dropped "sharply" in August. Then they took another dive in September. Bernie Sanders, the dream candidate of socialists, is out-polling her in New Hampshire, even though no one thinks he's suitable to represent the whole party.<br /><br />I've argued over and over again that Hillary Clinton is not a proven winner. Her last electoral victory came in 2006, in which she defeated a Yonkers mayor, John Spencer, not exactly a titan of the GOP. Her heavily favored presidential campaign was defeated in 2008, and in the intervening years, she has added no significant accomplishments to her resume other than a fancy job title. Indeed, she may have added more baggage given the parlous state of Libya after her "smart power" intervention there, and given the twin sagas about her home-brew email server and her conflicts of interest as secretary of state.<br /><br />Hillary Clinton 2016: older, more scandal-ridden, and further out of touch.<br /><br />So where is the Democratic bench? Martin O'Malley, the former governor of Maryland, is at 2 percent or less in the polls. Jim Webb, a conservative Democrat, hasn't even managed that much. Sanders is building a movement and trying to change the traditional parameters of American politics. But no one expects that he can actually assemble a coalition large enough to beat Clinton, much less a Republican.<br /><br />How is it that the big potential wild card in the Democratic race is a man who has run two presidential campaigns that were not at all successful? Let's go through the record: Joe Biden had a plagiarism scandal derail one campaign, and he never got off the ground in 2008.......<br /><br />http://theweek.com/articles/581834/bidenmania-shows-utter-weakness-democratic-partys-bench<br /><br /><br /><br />It's - wait for it - it's....it's.....<i><b>BidenManiaTime !!!</b></i><br /><br />toot Toot TOOT !<br /><br /><br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88250816366552356362015-10-10T20:20:57.663-04:002015-10-10T20:20:57.663-04:00Washington State University is giving the Universi...Washington State University is giving the University of Oregon a real run for their money this afternoon.<br /><br />Cougars are ahead of the Ducks by four in the third quarter.....<br /><br />Really interesting well played game.....Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-66862063698660676262015-10-10T20:19:25.822-04:002015-10-10T20:19:25.822-04:00The Democrats could all ride in a Clown Car, but t...The Democrats could all ride in a Clown Car, but they are all to old to leave the home unaided.<br /><br />Let's see, they've got:<br /><br />Hillary the Criminal<br /><br />Bernie the Commie<br /><br />Drinkin' Joe the Drunk<br /><br />What a FARCECharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-62512097341501098492015-10-10T20:16:58.532-04:002015-10-10T20:16:58.532-04:00A wonderful example of Quirk's Rule that burea...A wonderful example of <i>Quirk's Rule</i> that bureaucracies always desire to expand....<br /><br /><br />October 10, 2015<br />Courts block EPA water rule that would put millions of acres under federal control<br />By Rick Moran<br /><br />It's a regulation considered the most ambitious expansion of EPA's control over American waterways in history and a federal court has issued an injunction blocking its implementation.<br /><br />The Hill:<br /><br /> “We conclude that petitioners have demonstrated a substantial possibility of success on the merits of their claims,” the judges wrote in their decision, explaining that the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new guidelines for determining whether water is subject to federal control — based mostly on the water’s distance and connection to larger water bodies — is “at odds” with a key Supreme Court ruling.<br /><br /> The judges said they have yet to decide whether they have jurisdiction to review the regulation, but a stay would make it easier to determine that.<br /><br /> “A stay allows for a more deliberate determination whether this exercise of executive power, enabled by Congress and explicated by the Supreme Court, is proper under the dictates of federal law,” the court said.<br /><br /> “A stay temporarily silences the whirlwind of confusion that springs from uncertainty about the requirements of the new Rule and whether they will survive legal testing. A stay honors the policy of cooperative federalism that informs the Clean Water Act and must attend the shared responsibility for safeguarding the nation’s waters.”<br /><br /> The decision expands a stay that a North Dakota judge imposed in August, the day before the rule took effect, and that only applied to 13 states.<br /> The EPA said it will respect the court’s decision, but it believes the rule is legal and necessary.<br /> <br /> “The agencies respect the court’s decision to allow for more deliberate consideration of the issues in the case and we look forward to litigating the merits of the Clean Water Rule,” EPA spokeswoman Melissa Harrison said.<br /> <br /> “The Clean Water Rule was developed by the agencies to respond to an urgent need to improve and simplify the process for identifying waters that are and are not protected under the Clean Water Act, and is based on the latest science and the law,” she added.<br /><br /> The National Federation of Independent Business, one of the groups that sued to stop the rule, welcomed Friday’s decision.<br /><br /> “Small businesses everywhere this morning are breathing a sigh of relief,” Karen Harned, executive director of the group’s legal foundation, said in a statement.<br /><br />The rule, if implemented, would give the EPA regulatory authority over virtually every square inch of state and private land in the country. It runs roughshod over property rights and represents a massive overreach of federal authority, unprecedented even for this president.<br /><br />The federal courts usually give the EPA a lot of leeway to regulate our waterways, but this was apparently a bridge too far. The good news is that even if the court decides they have no jurisdiction to rule on the regulation, the injunction is likely to stay in place until the rule is adjudicated.<br /><br />http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/10/courts_block_epa_water_rule_that_would_put_millions_of_acres_under_federal_control.html<br /><br /><br /><br />God Bless the courts.<br /><br /><br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.com
