by Tammy on February 19, 2015Kerry’s Sad Face So now we know John Kerry’s days as a negotiator trying to make sure Iran’s nukes are “managed” consists of him getting screamed at all day by the Iranian “foreign minister” freak.

One of Hillary’s Biggest Problems? Her Husband.
by Tammy on February 15, 2015None of this surprises us, but what is amazing is this woman thinks she should have no problem getting back into the White House. What that tells you is, people like this have been protected for so long, by the media and the rest of the establishment, they expect it to keep going. Only we can make sure a different message is sent in November, 2016. We simply have got to stop giving the most disgusting people in the country all the power in the world. Bill’s libido threatens to derail Hillary — again She hasn’t even announced, but the question has already resurfaced: Will Bill Clinton’s baggage derail Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes? Just a few weeks ago, reports broke...

But Will He Lose His Smug? NBC Suspends Brian Williams For 6 Months
by Tammy on February 10, 2015Without pay. Now that would affect people like us, but for a guy making $10M + a year, I don’t think he’ll notice. As I noted on the show, I’m not sure how they bring him back after this. Perhaps this is just about stopping the bleeding at this point. I can’t see him coming back, can you? And what about his replacement? Now Savannah Guthrie’s name is coming up. Ultimately, I don’t think anything can save NBC, or any of the legacy news outfits. For far too long they’ve handled the news like it’s theatre, and for the last 7 years it’s only been about protecting Obama and their other political cronies. We shall see. Via Fox News. Brian...

Obama Team: We Should Have Sent Someone To Paris March
by Tammy on January 12, 2015The simplest decision in the world is screwed up because we have a petulant Malignant Narcissist in the White House who won’t accept not being the center of attention. I also suggest his refusal to go is based in a probable fury over his little campaign against the new senate being overshadowed by the Paris terror attacks. And that’s likely how he views it: a situation that ruined something for him. Via WSJ. President Barack Obama regrets his decision not to send a top White House official to represent the U.S. at a march in Paris on Sunday that drew dozens of world leaders in a show of solidarity against terrorism, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. The response to...

Another “Green Energy” Boondoggle Goes Broke
by Tammy on November 30, 2014**Bumped up from TAMWire. Posted by Maynard** Converting wood chips into ethanol sounds great, but they keep building expensive plants (with taxpayer support) that do not work and end up shuttered. The mastermind in this case is a billionaire and big Democrat bundler. See also Range Fuels. Billionaire Vinod Khosla’s big dreams for biofuels fail to catch fire Just over a year ago, billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla was bubbling with optimism about one of his latest investments: KiOR, a biofuel outfit he said would turn wood chips into hydrocarbons that could be poured straight into a refinery, pipeline or vehicle… Now, however, the spell has been broken. On Nov. 10, KiOR filed for bankruptcy, leaving behind 2,067 creditors, including...

Biden: The Change We Promised In 2008 Never Happened
by Tammy on July 16, 2014Well, actually it did. Change happened. The bad, evil type that destroys peoples lives and the security of the greatest country on Earth. Change happened for the whole world, evidenced by civil wars, the gassing of civilians, the spying on the American people and out allies, chaos at the border, an invigorated al-Qaeda, the rise of new and even more craven terrorist groups, the loss of Iraq and Afghanistan. Well, I could go on forever about the “change” Barack Obama and his enablers have wrought. Via Andrew Kaczynski at Buzzfeed. Click the above hyperlink for video as well. Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday the “hope and change” promised by President Obama and himself in 2008 never happened. Biden was...

Latest on Bergdahl Swap For Terrorists, Open Thread
by Tammy on June 2, 2014Well, the last 48 hours or so have been busy, and exposed us to another bizarre choice by Barack Obama: without notifying congress he released 5 of the most dangerous Taliban we had captured; beasts considered so dangerous they were to never be released. Yet, on Saturday morning they were flown out of Gitmo and into Qatar, as one of the pre-conditions for the Taliban terrorists to release Bowe Bergdahl, a troop captured in Afghanistan in 2009. We all wanted Bergdahl released, but the details of the method concerns everyone. Here’s what we know so far, and it gets stranger and stranger as each hour goes by. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s recovery after five years in captivity has rekindled anger...

¡Sorpresa! Spanish ObamaCare Website As Screwed Up As English Version
by Tammy on January 13, 2014Via The People’s Cube FUBARs are the same in every language. Health Care Website Frustrates Spanish Speakers Mirroring problems with the federal health care website, people around the nation attempting to navigate the Spanish version have discovered their own set of difficulties. The site, CuidadoDeSalud.gov, launched more than two months late. A Web page with Spanish instructions linked users to an English form. And the translations were so clunky and full of grammatical mistakes that critics say they must have been computer-generated — the name of the site itself can literally be read “for the caution of health.” “When you get into the details of the plans, it’s not all written in Spanish. It’s written in Spanglish, so we end...

Cubans Shocked At Prices As Foreign Cars Go On Sale
by Tammy on January 5, 2014Because Utopian Socialist Dictatorships work for well ‘for the people.’ Via BBC. Cubans have reacted with shock after foreign-made cars went on sale for the first time since the 1959 revolution at what some termed “crazy” prices. The state has a monopoly on new car sales and has set massive mark-ups. A Peugeot 508 is listed at $262,000. Peugeot’s UK website puts prices from $29,000. State salaries in Cuba average about $20 a month. Freeing up car sales is the latest in a series of reforms. A permit to buy new vehicles is now no longer required. However, only a minority will benefit. The BBC’s Sarah Rainsford, in Havana, says the stream of people at one used-car store in Havana’s...

MailOnline spoke with patients who were told they would have to pay their bills in full if they couldn’t prove they had insurance. One was faced with a $3,000 hospital room charge and opted to leave the hospital after experiencing chest pains. ‘Should I be in the hospital? Probably,’ she said. Another, coughing in the cold, walked out without receiving a needed chest x-ray Consumers face sticker-shock from medical costs under the new Obamacare system, made worse if they...

Obama Abandons Iraq, Now Scrambling Against al-Qaeda
by Tammy on December 26, 2013Moron. US sending missiles, drones to Iraq to battle al-Qaida The United States is quietly rushing dozens of Hellfire missiles and low-tech surveillance drones to Iraq to help government forces combat an explosion of violence by a Qaida-backed insurgency that is gaining territory in both western Iraq and neighboring Syria. The move follows an appeal for help in battling the extremist group by the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who met with President Obama in Washington last month. But some military experts question whether the patchwork response will be sufficient to reverse the sharp downturn in security that already led to the deaths of more than 8,000 Iraqis this year, 952 of them Iraqi security force members, according to...
