The McCain Mutiny

Captain McCain, steel balls in hand.

New Zeal

By: Thomas Wigand

 

 

The classic 1954 movie “The Caine Mutiny” crescendos with a court martial. Charged were crewmembers that had relieved Captain Queeg of command during a storm, citing as their defense their fear that his mental state had impaired his decision-making, and they feared loss of the ship and, possibly, all hands on board. The court martial did not appear to be going well for our mutineers. But then, as the cross examination of Queeg proceeded in earnest, he began rolling steel balls in his hand, and increasingly displayed the subtle cues evidencing a serious mental health problem lying below. The mutineers were not convicted.

In 2008 John McCain sought command of the United States, and the electoral crew relieved him of command before he’d even assumed it. Mutinous were many Republicans of the base who stayed home rather than vote for “John McAmnesty.”

Fast forward to the 2016 election, and the voters, and particularly Republican base voters (many of whom had long-since registered as “Independents”) elected a man whose platform was a rousing repudiation of the results a President McCain would have intended – “build the wall” trumped the lead Gangster of Eight and his stillborn amnesty.

For one who may feel entitled to the office, and robbed of it, and to see his agenda so publicly repudiated, it must feel like … like … like a mutiny against the legitimate leadership. And how to handle the mutineers? Why, a mutiny against their leader to restore the rightful order. And how to do that? Well, how about the political equivalent of a court martial: an impeachment?

Obama’s Iran Deal And A Constitution No More

Independent Sentinel

The U.N. Security Council endorsed the nuclear deal Monday morning. The statists in the U.N. have been given the power to decide the fate of the nuclear deal with no intervention by the American people thanks to the unilateral president and the Corker bill. The Corker bill allows international law to supersede our Congress and our Constitution.

The negotiations began when the President engaged in secret correspondence with the Ayatollah and his minions. Valerie Jarrett made secret trip(s) to Iran. The Logan Act suggest this is not within his rights to engage in correspondence in secret with the enemy.

The negotiations of the P5+1 were always a sham because they were always between the U.S. and Iran. China and Russia. Russia wants the U.S. to be harassed by Iran and they want to sell arms to the Iranians. The U.K., France, Germany depend on Russia for their oil.

Lawyers involved in the negotiations and an Iranian reporter who sought asylum in the U.K. claimed that the U.S. acted as Iran’s agents throughout the negotiations.

The President told Congress he’d call the treaty an agreement and would circumvent the ratification process. Article VI of the Constitution requires Officials to take an oath to “support the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” yet he chose to ignore the treaty powers of Congress.

Republicans offer Obama path to close Guantanamo before leaving office [Led by John McCain]

Free Republic

Senate Republicans are offering the president a path in the annual defense policy bill to make good on a campaign promise and close Guantanamo Bay before leaving office.

The Senate Armed Services Committee passed the $612 billion bill with a bipartisan 22-4 vote on Thursday. Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican and chairman of the committee, said the bill includes reforms of acquisition, retirement and personnel issues as well as a proposal to close the military prison in Cuba.

The bill would require the administration to provide Congress a comprehensive plan on how to close Guantanamo Bay that would need to be approved by both chambers of Congress. Once approved, Congress would give the administration whatever authority it needed to execute the plan.

“I’ve also been in favor of closing Guantanamo because of the image that Guantanamo has in the world, whether it’s deserved or not,” Mr. McCain said.

When asked if the provision could survive negotiations with the House, Mr. McCain said lawmakers understood the cost of keeping the prison open. It costs about $3.5 million per prisoner each year to detain them at Guantanamo Bay. A maximum security prison in the United States, however, would only cost about $70,000, Mr. McCain said.

We Can Deport 11 Million Illegal Aliens

Family Security Matters

The Obama Administration, Jeb Bush, John McCain, Lindsay Graham and the media’s take on why Congress needs to enact “comprehensive immigration reform” is that it’s impossible to deport the 11 million plus illegal aliens here, or as the president calls them, “Americans in waiting.”

Of course, it’s possible. The notion that this country can’t find these people is simply ridiculous. Here’s why.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are over 461,000 local, county, and State law enforcement officers in the country. There are also about 120,000 federal law enforcement agents. If Congress gave state and local police officers the authority to enforce federal immigration laws, most of the 11 million illegal aliens could be identified and deported in about a year. Let’s do the math.

Strike a blow against the RINO: Recall McCain and Flake

Sonoran News

Republican Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake are liberals representing a conservative state. By their statements and actions, they have proven that they are no longer worthy to be the U.S. Senators from Arizona.

Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who once described the mainstream media as his political base, has declared war on conservatives and the people of Arizona; reportedly leading a purge of the state’s GOP apparatus to pave the way for an easier reelection bid should he decide to run again in 2016.

In January 2013, Tea Party members and other conservatives managed to get John McCain censured by the Arizona Republican Party, for what they characterized as a liberal record that has been “disastrous and harmful” to the state and nation. It was not even close; the Republican Party of Maricopa County, Arizona’s most populous, passed a resolution to censure the senator on a 1,150-to-351 vote. The state GOP party’s censure didn’t even require a recorded vote, it passed by acclamation, meaning by a voice vote.

Now, according to the left-leaning outlet Politico, McCain is getting his revenge.

Fireworks: Man At McCain Town Hall Tells Him “I’d Have You Arrested For Treason”

Free Republic

On Friday, a man attending a town hall hosted by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in Prescott confronted the senator and told him he should be arrested and charged with treason for supporting al Qaeda in Syria.

“We the people want you to be representative of the people and for this great nation, but for far too long now on the rest of Congress, including the executive branch of government, along with the judicial and legislative have turned your back on the American people and their core values and principles. I can say with great confidence and speak on behalf of all Americans that your actions against this country are treasonous. All of you — against the will of the American people — have aided and abetted the enemy,” said the town hall attendee.

“You and the rest of Congress, including the president of the United States have went against the will your people in Syria regardless of your position and vote, whether it is a yes or no is still a political smokescreen,” the town hall attendee said to an irritated McCain. “I believe wholeheartedly you do not care about the will and well-being of America or its people. You lied the American people about the chemical attacks in Syria. The American people know that it was our government that is most likely responsible. There is strong evidence, including video, that these attacks were carried out by al Qaeda and you advocate starting a war, even maybe World War, by taking the same attack and blaming it on Assad.”

The Muslim Brotherhood, Clinton State Department, John McCain and Today’s Lax Security Mindset

Family Security Matters

There was a time when it was considered necessary and proper to be concerned  about possible foreign influences in US government and military service. Way  back in 1981 when I first filled out forms as part of the process for joining  the US military (it was a DOD form, I don’t remember the number) I had to answer  a specific question regarding travel. The question asked if I had traveled to  any of a list of nations after certain dates (all communist bloc countries) with  a date listed by each nation (the date that each country had turned  communist).

Anyone who joined the military in the Cold War era probably  remembers this form and this question. If the answer to the question for any of  the nations involved was “yes” you had to provide a complete explanation for the  reason for the trip, when it took place, etc. Having never visited countries  like Cuba, North Korea, East Germany, the Soviet Union, etc., I can’t say that I  know what the process would have been had I answered yes. But the point  is, if you wanted to join the US military and you had even visited any communist  countries, the Department of Defense wanted to know about it.

Fast  forward to today. We are locked in a mortal struggle against a force not unlike  communism. In fact, it has been called “communism with a god.” That force is  Islam as defined by the Shariah doctrine which forms the basis for it.

There are  certain countries and organizations that are prominent in the enemy threat  doctrine. Yet, to my knowledge, today we have no similar safeguards in place to  what the DOD had during the Cold War years to check on the influence of foreign  powers on American institutions.

RINO McCain defends Hillary’s Islamic Henchwoman

Moonbattery

Huma Abedin, wife of disgraced pervert Anthony Weiner and inseparable companion/advisor of Secretary of State Shrillary Rotten, is in the news again, having been outed by the great countermoonbat Michele Bachmann as having multiple connections to the malevolent Muslim Brotherhood through close relatives. Don’t feel bad for Huma; sanctimonious RINO John McCain has gallantly galloped to her rescue:

Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare for the fall

CFP

The United States is in a Constitutional and political crisis without precedent.

What can ordinary Americans do when a large number of politicians are corrupt and an even larger portion of the national political leadership is complicit in a cover-up of that corruption?

Do we petition those leaders to investigate and punish themselves?

Obama’s ineligibility: Were Americans set up by the press and then scammed by the Congress?

CFP

On January 25, 2008, before the Super Tuesday Presidential primary vote on February 5, 2008, the New York Times endorsed Senator John McCain for President.

Several days after the Super Tuesday vote, Republican candidate Mitt Romney withdrew from the race and John McCain was declared by the press as the presumptive Republican nominee for President.

On February 28, 2008, about the time Barack Obama began to overtake Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Presidential primary, the New York Times published an article questioning McCain’s eligibility to be President according to the natural born citizen clause of Article II, Section I of the Constitution.

Needless to say, the Times story was immediately followed by numerous other news items questioning McCain’s eligibility.
