Obama Admin Sending $47 Million To Hamas-Run Gaza Strip…

Weasel Zippers

Obama may be shocked to learn not everyone is OK with their tax dollars going to Hamas.

CAIRO (AP) – The U.S. is sending $47 million in humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip to help tens of thousands of Palestinians there who have been forced from their homes since war broke out two weeks ago.

A State Department breakdown of the aid that was released Monday said nearly a third of the money — $15 million — will go to the United Nations’ refugee mission in Gaza.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was expected to discuss the aid with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in a meeting late Monday in Cairo.

Kerry arrived in the Egyptian capital only hours earlier in a U.S. push to help broker a truce between Israel and the militant group Hamas that controls Gaza.

WH Beer Recipe More Important Than Marine Jailed in Mexico?

The Sean Hannity Show

It has been almost 3 months since a WhiteHouse.gov petitioncreated to demand the release of Sgt. Andrew from a Mexican prison reached its 100,000 signature threshold. Unfortunately, the White House has thus far remained mum on the situation. They have in the past, however, found time to respond to childish, insignificant petitions faster than to one that demands the release of a decorated U.S. Marine veteran who was at one time facing abuse and death threats in a Mexican prison.

Below are three ridiculous WhiteHouse.gov petitions that received faster responses from the Obama Administration than Sgt. Tahmooressi’s:

1. Formally acknowledge an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race – Disclosure
Created: September 22, 2011
White House Reply: November 4, 2011

2. Release the recipe for the Honey Ale home brewed at the White House
Created: August 18, 2012
White House Reply: September 1, 2012

*This was such a pressing topic that the president found time out of his busy schedule to respond to an inquisitive Reddit.com user during a “Ask Me Anything” session on the social media site. When asked when the beer recipe will be released, Obama replied, “It will be out soon! I can tell from firsthand experience, it is tasty.” The response was one of only 10 answers the president gave during the forum session.

3. Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016
Created: November 14, 2012
Reached required number of signatures: December 14, 2012
White House Reply: January 12, 2013

*For readers unfamiliar with Star Wars, the “Death Star” is a fictional space station with the ability to destroy an “entire planet.”

There you have it, folks. Your tax dollars are hard at work crafting responses to petty White House petitions, while an urgent plea to help a former U.S. Marine has so far been ignored.

US Government turns fully against Americans and few seem to care

CFP

Sher Zieve 

Over last weekend, it finally got out—despite suppression from the White House and the media—that the Mexican drug cartels/human traffickers are now firing .50 caliber ammo at our USBP Agents.  These are bullets that can reach their targets as much as a mile away.  This is an act of war.

Yet, neither the Pretend POTUS and Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama nor any of his minions comment on it at all.  Neither does Obama try to stop the thousands of illegals (largely gang members, drug cartels/human traffickers and Islamists…not children) that he has invited into the country as a foreign invasion force to replace US citizens and help him bring down the USA.  Besides, he’s already decimated most of the US military, demanded the Border Patrol “stand down” and no longer attempts to stop anyone entering the USA while placing them on diaper and baby-sitting duties for the children coming in with their parents.  What difference would some USBP deaths—or any additional US citizen deaths—mean to him?  He does, after all, have a 17-day vacation in August coming up.

U.S. to Give Iran Another $2.8 Billion, Concedes Enrichment

Free Beacon

The United States will give Iran access to another $2.8 billion over the next several months and appears to have conceded to Iran’s demand that it be permitted to domestically enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, according to senior Obama administration officials.

In exchange for agreeing over the weekend to extend nuclear talks until late November, Iran will be given another $2.8 billion in unfrozen assets, the White House told reporters over the weekend, after President Barack Obama decided to extend the talks past their July 20 deadline.

The United States already returned to Iran $4.2 billion in unfrozen oil assets during the past six months of the interim nuclear deal and has now agreed to provide another $2.8 billion in exchange for an extension in the negotiations.

White House officials also appeared to admit that U.S. negotiators have told Tehran that they will allow it to preserve some of its domestic enrichment capabilities, something that Congress has opposed.

Child immigrants will not go to Fort Knox

Free Republic

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Sen. Rand Paul said Monday Fort Knox was being considered as a possible place to temporarily house some of the immigrant children pouring across the country’s southern border.

The senator’s office was notified that the Army post in central Kentucky has been under review as a place to take in an undetermined number of unaccompanied Central America minors.

The Kentucky Republican spoke out against transporting the children to Fort Knox. He says they should be treated humanely until being returned to their home countries.

Late Monday afternoon, Congressman John Yarmuth’s office confirmed the Department of Defense submitted Fort Knox to the Department of Health and Human Services as a possible location, but HHS says it is no longer considering using the army base. HHS makes the final decision about which facilities to use to house the children.

What Would Cause President Obama to Cancel a Fundraiser?

PJ Media

What “tragedy” would be horrific enough for President Obama to cancel his usual schedule of speeches, lunches and fundraisers?

A commercial airliner shot down over Ukraine with Americans aboard?  No.

How about a terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11, killing our ambassador and three others? No.

Perhaps news that Israel has begun a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip? No way.

Obviously our president believes that any change to his schedule is a sign of weakness (and God forbid our commander in chief appear weak).

So today, despite the breaking news of possible Russian involvement with the missile attack against a Malaysian Airlines airliner carrying 295 passengers, crew and over 20 Americans, President Obama forged ahead with his previously planned infrastructure speech in Delaware. (But first he paused for a few seconds to say, “looks like it may be a terrible tragedy.” ) Then he proceeded as normal, including some lighthearted remarks.

Afterwards, he grabbed a burger and fries (“I’m starving” he was quoted as saying), and tonight he will attend a few fundraisers in New York. Just a typical day in the life of our 44th president. Obama is aiding world tranquility after all!

Therefore, my question is what kinds of national or international “tragedies”  would cause President Obama to cancel his fundraisers, partisan speeches and visits to burger joints?

Here is my list of the top five:

1. News that Beyonce and Jay Z are divorcing.

2. His favorite golf course was attacked by al-Qaeda.

3. Lebron James unexpectedly retired.

4. Air Force One was hijacked by the Tea Party.

5. A tsunami destroyed his August vacation compound on Martha’s Vineyard.

Now it’s your turn to add a few of your own…..

Fostering the lies

CFP

It was on a hot and humid Washington afternoon exactly 21 years ago today that the lifeless body of Vincent W. Foster, deputy White House counsel and personal attorney to both President William Jefferson Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, was found in Fort Marcy Park, located on the outskirts of Washington, DC. The cause of death was a single gunshot wound to his head fired from a small caliber weapon.

The cause of his death was officially ruled as a suicide, and except for a small number of truth-seeking investigators, the case has long been closed. This, despite the forensic evidence that is indicative of homicide, and the proven fact that individuals tampered with not only the crime scene, but the office and personal effects of Mr. Foster.

White House ‘Quietly’ Exempts 4.5 Million People In 5 “Territories” From Obamacare

Free Republic

As WSJ reports, last week’s geopolitical chaos and distraction was ideal for a news dump, and the White House didn’t disappoint: On no legal basis, all 4.5 million residents of the five U.S. territories were quietly released from ObamaCare. It seems the costs of healthcare soared in these five territories due to uneconomic mandates – which would have been a disaster PR-wise for the administration and so, under cover of catastrophe, WSJ reports all of a sudden last week HHS discovered new powers after “a careful review of this situation and the relevant statutory language,” that enabled them to ‘selectively exempt’ American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, and Virgin Islands from Obamacare. And all while vacationing…

As WSJ reports,

The original House and Senate bills that became the Affordable Care Act included funding for insurance exchanges in these territories, as President Obama promised when as a Senator he in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and other 2008 Democratic primaries. But the $14.5 billion in subsidies for the territories were dumped in 2010 as ballast when Democrats needed to claim the law reduced the deficit.

As a consolation, Democrats opened several public-health programs to the territories and bestowed most of ObamaCare’s insurance regulations, which liberals euphemize as “consumer protections,” such as requiring insurers to accept all comers and charge the same premiums regardless of patient health.

However, costs soared as no insurer would touch them…
