HALF-FULL REPORT 05/31/13
Don't you think it's high time to point out the undiluted racism of the Zero Presidency and its supporters? Racism is, of course, what got Zero nominated and elected to begin with, back in 2008. No one, certainly no Democrat or Libtard journalist, would have paid any attention whatever to a freshman Senator with exactly his résumé if he were just another white guy. But let's now ask, do you think that, on Monday (5/27) the leader of the Democrat Party in Louisiana, Karen Carter Peterson, would have denounced opponents of Obamacare as racists - "it's about race; it's about the race of this African-American president" - if she weren't black herself? Do you think that, yesterday (5/30) on MSNBC, sociology professor Michael Eric Dyson would have defended Eric Holder as "the Moses of our time," if he weren't black himself? (Funny, though, I never knew that Moses was black or that Holder was Jewish.) While Peterson and Dyson were heavily criticized for their statements, no one had the nerve to criticize them for being racially motivated. It's about time they were... don't you think? Meanwhile, as last week's HFR noted, Eric Holder is toast. This week he's melba toast.
ONLY IDIOTS ARE WARMISTS NOW — OR SOMETHING FAR WORSE
After a tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma May 20, two prominent Senate Democrats proved how profoundly mistaken are those who assume liberals are smarter and more moral than conservatives. As most Americans mourned the 24 dead and 277 injured, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., blamed the tornado (and hurricanes and wildfires) on Republicans, because so many dispute the theory of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming or AGW. There'd be fewer tornadoes if her bill to impose a carbon tax became law, said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Cal, who chairs the Environment and Public Works Committee. Compared to Sens. Whitehouse and Boxer, the Flat Earth Society (yes, it still exists) seems scientifically respectable. Are Whitehouse, Boxer & Co idiots? Or have they another motive for saying things so preposterously false about warming and violent storms?
HOW TO END POSTERIOR OSCULATION OF ISLAMISM
It is too much to expect that a man with three Moslem names wouldn't oppose Islamism. But that doesn't mean that Western Civilization can't. Nonetheless, our civilization - which used to be called Christendom - cannot summon the will to do so. Lately, we have been subjected to such a plethora of posterior osculation by libtard politicians and pundits of Moslem crazies that this is utterly undeniable. And it shows no sign of stopping unless we stop putting up with it. There is a way to stop it, but first, let's do a review of recent events that exemplify what has to be stopped. It will be a little rough at first, but this is going to end up being fun. Here we go.
THE THREAT OF RUSSIA
The strategic challenge that Russia poses to the United States today is quite serious. Russia is increasingly anti-democratic and hostile to the United States. Xenophobia is widespread in Russia. The Kremlin is currently encouraging nationalism and militarizing the country. It constantly attacks the West. And a sizable number of the Russian population sees neighboring countries as part of the Russian zone of influence. Now this is not me speaking, this is taken from a recent statement by Alexei Kudrin, who until September of 2011 was the finance minister of Russia, and who has just been publicly offered a cabinet position by Vladimir Putin. The most serious aspect of the Russian threat to the United States is their nuclear use doctrine. They have the lowest nuclear use threshold in the world. Russia reserves the right to introduce nuclear weapons into conventional warfare, and they characterize this, amazingly, as "de-escalation" of the conflict. You won't believe the statements of Russia's nuclear commanders. Here's one:
A WHOLE NEW ANGLE ON CURING VIRAL INFECTIONS
It isn't often that an entire field of medical science gets turned on its head. But it is becoming clear that immunology is undergoing a big rethink thanks to the discovery that antibodies, which combat viruses, work not just outside cells but inside them as well. The star of this new view is a protein molecule called TRIM21. Until recently, the conventional wisdom was that the body fights off infection in two separate ways. First is the adaptive immune system, which works outside the cell. It generates antibodies to intercept specific invaders, locking onto them like a tracking missile and preventing them from entering the cell. A second line of defense, the innate immune system, operates within the cell; it is like an expansive air-defense network, blasting away at all invaders. Three years ago work by Leo James, William McEwan and their colleagues at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge revealed that this understanding was incomplete. They found that the neutralization of adenoviruses (common viruses causing colds and other infections) by antibodies was happening mainly inside the cell, not outside, and by an unexpected mechanism. This mechanism opens a whole new path to curing viral infections, and autoimmune diseases like lupus.
GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY OF MONEY IS OBSOLETE
Entrepreneurs are trying to create superior money, which is needed for global economic well-being, to replace the dollar and other failing government-created currencies. Unfortunately, these innovations are being strangled in their cribs by power-hungry central bankers and politicians. The best known of these new experimental currencies -- "Bitcoin" -- is now under attack by several U.S. government agencies. Why? Because of this: "The need to slough off the outworn old to make possible the productive new is universal. It is reasonably certain that we would still have stagecoaches -- nationalized to be sure, heavily subsidized and with a fantastic research program to 'retain the horse' -- had there been ministries of transportation around 1825." The monopoly governments enforce regarding their currencies is obsolete.
WHAT IS OVER IS OBAMA’S CONNECTION TO REALITY
Barack Hussein Obama didn't know security was so lax at our consulate in Benghazi, wasn't aware the IRS was targeting his critics, wasn't told Attorney General Eric Holder was combing through the telephone records of journalists, both he and his aides say. If so, the president was remarkably detached from what was going on in his administration. His speech at the National Defense University last week (5/23) indicates he's also remarkably disconnected from what's happening in the world. "Every war has come to an end," he said. The War on Terror must end, too, so he plans to ask Congress to "refine, and ultimately repeal" the authorization to use military force Congress passed three days after 9/11. Mr. Obama believes he can end this war simply by declaring it to be over. What has ended, what is over, is Mr. Obama's connection to reality,
HALF-FULL REPORT 05/24/13
The Drudge Report has been running hilarious headlines this week on Anthony "Little" Weiner's run for Mayor of New York. It was one year ago (last week of May, 2011) that Weinergate broke, resulting in the punniest week ever for the HFR. How could Drudge resist red-siren headlining the news of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's putdown of Weiner's candidacy as PREMATURE ELECTION, and subtitling the headline with an altered quote of Cuomo: "Shame on us if we erect him." Nothing is deadlier to a politician than to be a joke in the eyes of the public. Jay Leno did it to Zero on The Tonight Show Monday night (5/20). Here's the transcript but be sure and watch the embedded video of Kids Ask Obama the Darndest Questions. You know the HMS (His Majesty's Ship) Zero is in danger of sinking when the rats of the Libtard Media have started abandoning it. On Wednesday (5/22), the editorial staff of the New York Times ran an official op-ed condemning "the Obama administration" for "threatening fundamental freedoms of the press." And yesterday evening (5/23), the entire home page of HuffPo, the Libtard media's main website, was devoted to a demand that Eric Holder resign: "TIME TO GO" blared HuffPo. The only news this week that could possibly be better than Holder soon to be an ex-AG is this. Mrs. Zero will be taking an "extended vacation" for the next few months, running away and hiding from the world and shutting up so we won't have to suffer her insufferable busybody hectoring.
HOW DO WE GET RID OF THE IRS?
As we all know now, in 2012 the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups (but not liberal groups) applying for tax exempt status, demanding the names and addresses of their members and donors, and their contacts with journalists and legislators. "Please detail the content of the members of your organizations' prayers," the IRS asked a pro-life group in Iowa. Tax collectors have no right to demand such information from Americans. We must find out who is responsible for targeting critics of the Obama administration, and hold them accountable. But the more important reason for getting to the bottom of this breathtaking abuse of power is so we can keep it from ever happening again. The only way to do it is to eliminate the IRS. But how?
OBAMA DENIES ROLE IN GOVERNMENT
WASHINGTON -President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has "played no role whatsoever" in the U.S. government over the past four years. "Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am," he said. "Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization." The President's outrage only increased, he said, when he "recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice." "The more I learn about the activities of these individuals, the more certain I am that I would not want to be associated with them," he said. "They sound like bad news."
