Air Force Warns of ‘Coordinated Physical Attacks’ On Electric Grid
by Tammy on March 27, 2016Obama? Taking Cha-Cha lessons no doubt. Via Washington Examiner. Electromagnetic pulse attacks on the energy grid, a topic that used to prompt eye-rolling in Washington, is now a top concern for the U.S. Air Force. Officials have raised new worries that “determined adversaries” want to attack the grid, either with a physical hit or a potential EMP attack. Experts have suggested that North Korea, for example, is testing missiles to launch a nuclear weapon from a ship off the U.S. coast into the atmosphere where an explosion could shut off electricity for months through an atmospheric EMP explosion. In an Air Force briefing provided to the Examiner, the service raised concerns about “aging infrastructure,” a “growing number of cyberattacks” on...

[Video] Ted Cruz: John Bolton For Secretary Of State
by Tammy on March 23, 2016One of the many reasons I like Cruz. Choosing Ambassador Bolton for Secretary of State is a great idea, and would immediately send a signal to the world that we’re serious about getting off our knees.

[Video] Watch a US Nuclear Submarine Emerge from the Ice
by Tammy on March 22, 2016A magnificent thing. Via PopSci. X almost marks the spot. The USS Hartford’s aim was just a little off, and as the nuclear attack submarine surfaced through the ice of the Arctic circle, the view from the aircraft overhead shows a giant X carved into snow just to the side of the vehicle. The Arctic is fortunately an empty place, and precision surfacing isn’t really the point of the vehicle. Instead, it was there as part of the ICEX military exercises, practice for the coldest war of all. By breaching the ice, USS Hartford (and its compatriot, the USS Hampton, shown above) joins a long tradition of nuclear submarines in the Arctic circle. The USS Nautilus was the first to...

Belgian Terrorists Can Still Enter US Without a Visa
by Tammy on March 22, 2016Of course. Because for some reason the Obama administration likes it that way and the GOP is unable to come out of its coma and do more than have hearings or make angry cable news statements. Via Free Beacon. Leading lawmakers identified Belgium as a hotspot for terrorism months ago and are warning that many of the radicalized individuals living there are still able to travel to the United States without first obtaining a visa and undergoing thorough security checks. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told the Washington Free Beacon Tuesday afternoon that current flaws in the U.S. visa waiver program—which facilities travel to the United States from partner nations including Belgium—have...

Democrat Says Russian Nuclear Submarines ‘Dangerously Close’ To U.S.
by Tammy on March 22, 2016Great! Another example of what happens when a president signals to the world that even he thinks we’re a problem and deserve to get our a**es kicked. Via Washington Examiner. Russian President Vladimir Putin is deploying nuclear-armed submarines “dangerously close” to the United States and European allies, a Senate Democrat said following a trip to the Arctic Circle. “No one is suggesting that Putin is contemplating a nuclear launch against a NATO country, but it’s not clear how tethered to reality Putin is,” Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy told reporters Monday. “And it should make us nervous that many of his submarines are starting to get dangerously close to the U.S. and our allies.” In recent years, Putin’s navy has pursued...

Obama’s CIA Director Is Opposed To Spying
by Tammy on March 16, 2016You can’t make this up. You just can’t. Inexplicable and dangerous. Via John Hinedracker at Powerline. Unbelievable, but true: President Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, doesn’t think the agency should engage in spying. He finds espionage unsavory, apparently. John Sipher, a former member of the CIA’s Senior Intelligence Service and a recipient of the agency’s Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, explains: In what was otherwise a thoughtful interview with National Public Radio last week, CIA Director John Brennan expressed his personal view that the CIA should be not be viewed as a spy agency. In the 24 February interview he said, “I don’t support government spying…. We don’t steal secrets… We uncover, we discover, we reveal, we obtain, we elicit, we...

Iran Setting Up Terror Networks In the US, Says Israel Defense Minister
by Tammy on February 24, 2016Of course they are. So happy Obama excepted Iranians from the new visa requirements for people who travel through or are from terrorist nations. Via Daily Caller. Israel’s Minister of Defense claimed that Iran is setting up a global terror network which is poised to commit attacks on the U.S. and Europe on command. Moshe Ya’alon warned that the “sleeper cells” being set up by Iran are collecting weapons, intelligence and gathering operatives on Wednesday while on a trip to Cyprus. He believes that Iran is creating “emissaries” intended to spread the Islamic revolution worldwide. “The Iranian regime through the Iranian Revolutionary Guard corps is building a complex terror infrastructure including sleeping cells that are stockpiling arms, intelligence and operatives...

*This* Is Who We Are: Two Elderly Medal Of Honor Vets Passed Away This Month
by Shifra on December 20, 2015Memo to the Obama Regime: Yes, we are a nation of immigrants. But the immigrants who enrich our country arrive with hope for a better future. Not with ISIS flags on their cellphones. I. George T. “Joe” Sakato Via Weekly Standard: On December 2, George T. “Joe” Sakato died at the age of 94. Enlisting in the Army after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Sakato was assigned to the segregated 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a fighting force consisting of second-generation Japanese Americans that saw heavy action in Europe.

Bergdahl To Be Referred To a General Court-Martial On Charges of ‘Desertion’ & ‘Endangering the Safety’ of His Unit
by Tammy on December 14, 2015It’s about time. Scumbag. And this is the jerk Obama for whom Obama freed 5 Taliban generals. And don’t forget the Rose Garden ceremony with the deserter’s mother and father. But it was never about Bergdahl, he was just an excuse for Obama to dump 5 of the most dangerous prisoners at Gitmo. In fact, I’m sure Obama didn’t mind embracing Bergdahl. After all, Obama’s been deserting us and endangering the safety of the country every day for over 7 years. Via Fox News. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s high-profile desertion case was referred for trial by court-martial on Monday, in a blow to his defense team which had urged a lower-level referral. Bergdahl was released from captivity last year in...

Moonbat CNN Anchor: Jews Are Also Terrorists, Should We Ban All Jews?
by Shifra on December 11, 2015Nice try, Ashleigh, invoking the terrorism of the Jewish Defense League. Here are some of the terrorist ‘atrocities’ perpetrated by the JDL: In the early 1970’s, to protest the harsh treatment of Soviet Jews, JDL members poured blood over the head of a Soviet diplomat. And once, they planted a smoke bomb in a Carnegie hall performance of a Soviet orchestra. Oh, the horror. Wait, there’s more: In 1981, twenty members of the JDL took over the offices of the ACLU to protest its representation of neo-Nazis in court. And, that same year, a JDL member admitted throwing firebombs into a home of Boleslavs Maikovskis, an accused Nazi war criminal, in Long Island. Since its inception, in 1968, the JDL...

CNN Panel *Loved* Obama’s Speech, But The Foreign Correspondents… Not So Much
by Shifra on December 7, 2015This CNN panel lives in an alternate universe (Planet Zog?) Or maybe they are just totally drunk on Obama Kool-Aid. Via NewsBusters: Following President Obama’s Sunday night address, the always large post-event panel on CNN had plenty to say, but it was quite the disconnect as many of their political commentators hailed the “straightforward” speech by the President while two of their foreign policy analysts panned the President’s “self-congratulation” and having “his head…in the clouds if he thinks this current strategy is going to succeed.” In the moments after the speech, Jake Tapper, Gloria Borger, and John King offered up largely complimentary thoughts on the speech with Borger observing that she’s “never heard this language from the President before” as...

Moonbat CNN Anchor: Maybe Cause of San Bernardino Massacre Was… Postpartum Psychosis
by Shifra on December 4, 2015Postpartum psychosis? So, Erin is now a CNN anchor *and* a psychiatrist? Who knew? Via NewsBusters: Struggling to offer an alternative explanation for the obvious conclusion of terrorism, CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday wondered if one of the killers from Wednesday’s rampage snapped as a result of “postpartum psychosis.” This was after two former FBI agents explained to Burnett just how Tashfeen Malik was radicalized. Despite this, the CNN anchor wondered, “I just have to ask you, could there be something else, anything else, that could have explained her involvement? Something like a postpartum psychosis?” Former FBI profiler Jim Clemente calmly told Burnett that “postpartum psychosis… is typically internal.”….

The F.B.I., The Internet and You: Big Brother *Is* Watching You
by dennisl59 on December 2, 2015**Bumped Up From TAMWire. Posted By dennisl59** Here you go: Big Brother Is Watching You… Via Reuters: U.S. government reveals breadth of requests for Internet records The Federal Bureau of Investigation has used a secretive authority to compel Internet and telecommunications firms to hand over customer data including an individual’s complete web browsing history and records of all online purchases, a court filing released Monday shows. The documents are believed to be the first time the government has provided details of its so-called national security letters, which are used by the FBI to conduct electronic surveillance without the need for court approval.

Sen. Feinstein Goes After Obama & Kerry for Failing ISIS Strategy
by Tammy on November 22, 2015When you see senior Democrat leadership Senator Feinstein off the reservation and attacking the Obama’s approach to ISIS, you know the party is in chaos, and you know how much trouble we’re in. She’s diplomatic about it, but last week she went after Obama and this week she’s going after Kerry. That this is a being said in public is amazing. Normally this debate would happen between the principles behind closed doors, but this makes even clearer the fact that Obama isn’t governing and he’s certainly not listening to anyone, even the leadership in his own party. Today on Face the Nation, via RCP. Feinstein: After Hearing The ISIS Plan From John Kerry, “I Don’t Think The Approach Is Sufficient”...
