Mr. Decisive...Not.
Oh the things we learn about the things we learned. As president Zero continues to make the rounds telling all who will listen about his how his decisive lessons in leadership on how he "Got Bin Laden", we now learn from The Daily Caller:
At the urging of Valerie Jarrett, President Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions before finally approving the May 2, 2011 Navy SEAL mission, according to an explosive new book scheduled for release August 21. The Daily Caller has seen a portion of the chapter in which the stunning revelation appears.
In ”Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him,“ Richard Miniter writes that Obama canceled the “kill” mission in January 2011, again in February, and a third time in March. Obama’s close adviser Valerie Jarrett persuaded him to hold off each time, according to the book.
Valerie Jarrett! You know who she is, right?
I can't resist how this fits into the present meme....."You didn't kill Bin Laden, somebody else made that happen"

History repeats itself?
Every once in a while this cartoon from
the Chicago Tribune April 21,1934 edition surfaces. Our readers have seen it as I have posted it before. It is
relevant today as the Socialist/Commie in the White House charts a similar
course towards economic ruin. The old adage comes to mind about those who do
not know history are bound to repeat it.
Perhaps our country has been at these cross roads before.
There is a lot going on in the
cartoon. It is entitled Planned Economy
Or Planned Destruction . It reads:
“Planned Economy or Planned
Destruction. Tugwell Head. Brain Twister Truster.
Power. Whoopee! Ickes. Wallace. Richberg. Young
Pinkies from Columbia and Harvard. Depleting the resources of the
soundest government in the world. ‘It worked in Russia.’ Plan
of action for the U.S. Spend! Spend! Spend under the guise of
recovery – bust the government – blame the capitalists for the failure – Junk
the constitution and decree a dictatorship. How red the sunrise is
getting – Stalin. Copyright by The Chicago Tribune. Orr.”
So who are these
guys? Why are they important? Well, we have old Joe Stalin in one corner. Lenin in another corner scribbling away. Certainly these old commies need no introduction. But who is in the wagon? Why are they being associated with the likeness of Stalin and Lenin? Let's look into their background and see what they may have in common.
Harold Ickes is in the middle of the photo. He moved to Chicago at 16 years of age and later served
as Secretary of the Interior under FDR starting in 1933. He ran the Public
Works Administration (PWA) which channeled money to make work projects favored
by FDR. His son, Harold Ickes, Jr.
served Bill and Hillary Clinton earning the nickname "The Garbage Man" for
his handling of their scandals'.
Rexford Tugwell (the guy riding the horse) was a key adviser
running various government give away programs.
The Resettlement Administration (RA) set about constructing entire
communities that were to designed to entice people to move to. This continued until it was found to be unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court in Franklin Township v Tugwell. Tugwell had previously been denounced as
"Rex the Red", and the RA's suburban resettlement
program earned him further condemnation as Communist and
Un-American.
Donald Richberg was a Chicago lawyer. In September 1932,
Richberg, Ickes, Fred C. Howe, Felix
Frankfurter, and Henry A.
Wallace organized the National
Progressive League to support New York
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt for
President of the United States. He was eventually named to be the second head
of the National Recovery Administration. (NRA).
Use GOOGLE to learn about its pograms. (No, that is not a typo)
Henry Wallace, the guy with the shovel, was Secretary of
Agriculture, and later vice-president during FDR's third term. An enigma
wrapped in a question mark is the easiest way to describe him. He clearly had some sympathies for the views of
Communists, but appeared reluctant to buy in totally. However, it is of note that he utilized and refused to
fire Alger Hiss as his counsel when the opportunity arose. Alger Hiss....remember him?
Jarrett worked hard promoting socialist
causes including the communist controlled Progressive Party. On
April 12, 1948, Vernon Jarrett was listed as a member of the Communist Party USA which dominated the local group Citizens'
Committee to Aid Packing-House Workers which was based in Chicago,
Illinois.
Communist in Chicago?
Communist in Chicago?
In early 1948 Frank Marshall Davis served on the
publicity committee of the Citizens'
Committee to Aid Packing-House Workers with Mr. Jarrett. So Mr.Jarrett and Mr. Davis moved in some close circles in their little community.
In 1992 Obama worked for the ACORN offshoot, Project Vote to register black voters in aid of the Senate Campaign of Carol Moseley Braun-who had strong Communist Party USA ties.
Obama helped Carol Moseley Braun win her Senate seat, then took it over himself in 2004-backed by the same communist/socialist alliance that had elected then Chicago Mayor Washington and Moseley Braun.
Clearly, Mr. Jarrett was a mover and shaker in the black community and the local Communist Party. He was friends with a lot of people including Frank Marshall Davis.
Who is that, Rumbear?
Well, we know Frank Marshall Davis was another Communist sympathizer in Chicago who ultimately moved to Hawaii in 1948 on the recommendation of his friend, Paul Robeson. There he became involved in what some might describe as "nefarious" activities on behalf of the local Communist Party.
Wikipedia enlightens us with this entry:
A
1950 FBI memo reports that members of the subversive
element in Honolulu were
“
|
concentrating
their efforts on infiltration of the Democratic party through control of
Precinct Clubs and organizations. He said they were spending considerable
time urging support for their candidates in these Precinct Club elections. In
this regard, he noted on April 6, 1950, that subject [Davis] had been elected
Assistant Secretary and Delegate to the Territorial Democratic Convention...attendance
of Davis at the Territorial Democratic Convention was verified by
[informant]. This convention took place on April 30 at Kalakana Intermediate
School.

”

Robert
M. Kempa, a Communist party informant who agreed to
cooperate with government investigators, reported,
“
|
Late
in the fall of 1950, I started contacting Frank Marshall Davis in connection
with Communist Party matters, and relaying to him information received from
my superior contact in the Communist Party, either James Freeman or
[redacted].
During
a portion of 1950, 1951 and part of 1952, I continued contacting Frank
Marshall Davis and also transmitted dues for the Communist Party received
from him to my contact above. During the period of my contacts with Frank
Marshall Davis, he advised me that his wife, Helen was a member of Group #10.
...During a portion of 1951 [redacted] took over contacts with the Davis
group but I resumed contacting Davis in 1952 and continued meeting him on
Communist Party matters until I left the Party in June of that year."

So from FDR forward we have an interesting collection of facts showing a history of communism, activism, Chicago politics, and Hawaiian subversive actions. Most curious, indeed.
Want some more fun?....Paul Robeson. GOOGLE is your friend.
Oh and the inimitable Mr. Jarrett...he had a daughter named Valerie. You know her, right?
Stay frosty....
Gun Free Zone
I was surfing, browsing, perusing, my way through my second cuppa and came across an article over at "Home on the Range". It is actually quite thoughtful in presenting a position on the whole Gun Free Zone issue.
Gun free. Think about it. Think about some famous gun free places.
Columbine High School.
New York City pizza shop.
Pearl Mississippi High School.
Luby's Cafeteria.
The Amish school in Pennsylvania.
We can now add the horror that was an outing for friends and families in Aurora, Colorado to the list. And the list goes on and on, especially if you add in the mass murders in other "gun free" countries.
Of course, he left out several places of note. How about the cafeteria at Fort Hood? The theater in Aurora? Safety is an issue. Just not yours. We are always worried about that other guy that might be hurt if you dare to stand up to an aggressor. You know, that person you don't know, and may never know if you can't stand up when you need to......
Stay frosty.

et tu Fresno?
Victor Davis Hanson discusses the impending bankruptcy of another city in the once great state of California.
Or in simple terms, those entities that can be taxed great amounts are shrinking and those who rely on great amounts of redistributed tax revenue are growing. And yet to suggest public-employee compensation reform, school-curriculum reform, closed borders with Mexico, tax reform, and a changed attitude about regulation and litigation would earn ostracism everywhere from a Newport Beach dock party to a Sonoma wine tasting. Unfortunately, proposed higher taxes, mandatory gay studies in the schools, the DREAM Act, sanctuary cities, court-mandated irrigation cut-offs, boundaries on new gas and oil exploration, tearing down historic bridges in Yosemite, or dreaming about blowing up the Hetch Hetchy dam are not going to address the underlying problems.
So fears of impending bankruptcies — first in the state’s center, later perhaps even on the coast — will probably grow.
I just did the drive north a few weeks ago. The Central Valley remains a drought stricken wasteland. A drought brought on by Libtard politicians in Sacramento and a fool for a Judge. Water diverted to save a two inch fish in the Sacramento Delta.
Brilliant.

Penn State...
Off with their heads! OFF with their heads!!
NCAA libtards announced their knee jerk reaction to the news that fabled coach Joe "Joe Pa" Paterno was actually "Joe Perv" today. Since Joe Perv has already assumed room temperature and Jerry Sandusky is getting fitted for soap on a rope, the NCAA, in it's infinite wisdumb dropped the hammer on the school.
First, like they do in all good commie countries, the statue of Joe Perv was removed from in front of the stadium in the pre-dawn hours. Out of sight, out of mind. (Saddam, Lenin, Tito, Mussolini, Amin, and soon.... Chavez)
Then the talking head of NCAAville said...
Emmert said the sanctions imposed are as follows:
Because nothing ensures change after the fact like a good shafting by bureaucrats. That' right....in the greatest exhibition of utter nonsense since Farmer Bob moved to save his horses by closing the barn door after they all left, Penn State has been punished. Well, everybody who attends Penn State in the future has been punished. Those guys from the past....uh, not so much.
Thanks Joe Perv.

Emmert said the sanctions imposed are as follows:
- NCAA is imposing a fine of $60 million on the University (equivalent to proceeds of one year) — An endowment will be established to be used around the nation to serve victims of child abuse
- Penn State Football will be banned from bowl games and post season play for 4 years
- Initial scholarship reduced from 25 to 15 per year for four years
- Enter, returning athletes are able to transfer and immediately complete
- NCAA to vacate all wins of the football team from 1998 to 2011 and record will reflect change
- Football program on 5-year probationary period
- NCAA reserve right to initiate an investigation and impose sanctions on individuals
Because nothing ensures change after the fact like a good shafting by bureaucrats.

Well, everybody who attends Penn State in the future has been punished. Those guys from the past....uh, not so much.
Thanks Joe Perv.

Uh Oops?
So the meme has been Romney is evil because when he ran Bain Capital the steel industry was devastated with layoffs and the movement of steel production overseas. The fact that the unions overpriced labor costs along with gubbermint over regulation made foreign production a necessity is lost on Democrats. However, once again, when one looks at those pesky FACTS....all is not as it seems.
The Obama campaign blamed Governor Mitt Romney for the demise of GST Steel company in a video they released in May. The plant closed in 2001. Mitt left Bain in 1999.
For some reason the Obama camp forgot to mention that Obama’s top bundler Jonathan Lavine was in charge of Bain during the BST layoffs.
…One of Obama’s top campaign financiers – Jonathan Lavine – is also managing director at Bain, bundling between $100,000 and $200,000 in contributions for the 2012 Obama Victory Fund, according to estimates released by the Obama campaign.
More over at Gateway Pundit.
Pot. Kettle. Black.

You Didn't Build That....
president Zero, Our Hero, stepped in another cow pattie the other day. Operating without a teleprompter Ole Zero's intelligence was allowed to shine through.
“If you’ve got a business, you did not build that–somebody else made that happen,” speaking Friday evening at a campaign event in Roanoke, Va.
Ahhh, the brilliance of zero. Yet if you GOOGLE the phrase you get sent to Bible references. Nicely played GOOGLE.
Yet many are having fun.....
