Someone needs to tell State Dept. Spokesperson Jen Psaki to start reading newspapers.
I mean, isn’t that the way her boss, POTUS, seems to get his information about foreign and domestic events?
Anyway, I am volunteering to help her out:
Via Guardian: Palestinian unity government of Fatah and Hamas sworn in
….The new government will reunite Gaza and the West Bank under a single political authority for the first time since 2007, when Hamas – which won Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 – asserted control over the Gaza Strip, forcing out Fatah….
Psaki must’ve missed this article.
How else to explain this exchange, from yesterday?
Via Free Beacon: State Dept: ‘No Evidence That Hamas Plays Any Role’ in Palestinian Government
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki claimed again Tuesday that “no evidence” existed that the terrorist organization Hamas “plays any role” in the Palestinian government.
A reporter asked Psaki if President Mahmoud Abbas bore any blame for the current fighting between Israel and Hamas, saying, “at one point, yes, it was a conflict between just the U.S. and Hamas, and Abbas had no real kind of skin in the game, because it was between the two parties even though it was affecting the Palestinian people directly. But now, he’s part of a unity government and has some influence with Hamas now, wouldn’t you say?”
” Well, we have no evidence that Hamas plays any role in the interim technocratic government, and as far as we know, there have also been no steps taken for the implementation of the reconciliation,” Psaki said….
And who could forget this gem, from Deputy Spokesperson, Marie Barf Harf:
The Obama Administration is in the hands of incompetent hacks.
Just the way POTUS likes it…

It’s always seemed appropriate that the Dept. of State building is located in an area called, Foggy Bottom. Though Foggy Bottomless may be more accurate.
In a semi-related note, 38 Journalist organizations have sent a letter to Obama saying that the administration routinely blocks reporter access to information. My initial reaction was; Yikes I’m on the same side as POGO! But maybe it’s more accurate to say it’s POGO going Yikes We’re on the same side as that TAM! https://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2014/07/08-1
Absolutely very interesting finds Shifra! These are the types of reports and videos that Obummer and his crime syndicate don’t want us to see! Very entertaining indeed.
To add, isn’t it startling to see that we have arrived at referring to the POTUS and his ilk as a crime syndicate these days. My gosh, how did we (The U.S.) get here?
Oh My gosh, I just saw the other video…,which begs the question;Why on earth is our country being run by “little Starbucks twits!?” For one, these two are an embarrassment to strong women everywhere (strong women I look up to like T. Bruce, Sarah Palin and Liz Cheney to name just a few).
Secondly the founding generations of Americans and the early American “Greatest generation types,” did not fight for so much to be so embarrassed at this time in history.
My goodness this is a shame to the flag!
P.S. I do enjoy Starbucks from time to time, but still…LOL
It was funny when Saddam’s information minister was screaming out stuff like, “There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!”. It’s not so funny when our own people do it.
Well, Maynard, it would have been funny if you had changed “incompetent hacks” to “incontinent hacks.” But thanks for *not* editing it 🙂
Another gem, Shifra. It’s a clown show at the State Dept. Just give her a red clown nose and let her go play with the other children down the street at the WH. She has no clue, no couth, and apparently no common sense. Deny, deny, deny, and if that doesn’t work, blame another dept. or Bush. Well, I guess if she didn’t hear it from Jon Stewart, it didn’t happen. Hopefully, everyone’s patience in the press core is waning. Still, surely she knows she’s the butt of many jokes. Ya think?
They are all blithering idiots
Thank you, Shifra. Hillary and Lurch must be proud of the high standards they have set.
These dim bulb skits help put up a firewall between the administration and the results of their reign.
