Donald Trump, after blasting Iraq war, picks top Iraq hawk as security adviser https://t.co/xCjgB8hvEh by @AlexanderEmmons @lachancenaomi
— Jack Hunter (@jackhunter74) November 15, 2016

This comes via The Intercept:

Donald Trump named former CIA director and extremist neoconservative James Woolsey his senior adviser on national security issues on Monday. Woolsey, who left the CIA in 1995, went on to become one of Washington’s most outspoken promoters of U.S. war in Iraq and the Middle East.
As such, Woolsey’s selection either clashes with Trump’s noninterventionist rhetoric — or represents a pivot towards a more muscular, neoconservative approach to resolving international conflicts.
Trump has called the Iraq War “a disaster.”
Woolsey, by contrast, was a key member of the Project for the New American Century — a neoconservative think tank largely founded to encourage a second war with Iraq. Woolsey signed a letter in 1998 calling on Clinton to depose Saddam Hussein and only hours after the 9/11 attacks appeared on CNN and blamed the attacks on Iraq. Woolsey has continued to insist on such a connection despite the complete lack of evidence to support his argument. He also blames Iran.
Weeks before the invasion of Iraq, Woolsey called for broader war in the Middle East, saying “World War IV” was already underway.
Woolsey has also put himself in a position to profit from the wars he has promoted. He has served as vice president of Pentagon contracting giant Booz Allen, and as chairman of Paladin Capital Group, a private equity fund that invests in national security and cybersecurity.
He chairs the leadership council at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a hawkish national security nonprofit, and is a venture partner with Lux Capital Management, which invests in emerging technologies like drones, satellite imaging, and artificial intelligence.
Woolsey went on CNN on Monday and said that he was principally motivated to support Trump because of his plans to expand U.S. military spending.
Trump gave a speech last week in which he proposed dramatic expansions of the Army and Marines, and hundred-billion-dollar weapons systems for the Navy and Air Force. He offered no justification — aside from citing a few officials who claimed they wanted more firepower.
Woolsey stood by Trump’s proposal on Monday.
“I think the problem is her budget,” Woolsey said of Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton. “She is spending so much money on domestic programs — including ones that we don’t even have now, and the ones we have now are underfunded — I think there can be very little room for the improvements in defense and intelligence that have to be made.”
Woolsey has previously called for NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden to be “hanged by the neck until he’s dead, rather than merely electrocuted.”
In the past, Woolsey has publicly disagreed with Trump on a number of national security issues — including Trump’s plan to ban Muslim immigration. On Monday, Woolsey told CNN that such a plan would raise First Amendment issues, but that he supported a temporary immigration block from certain Muslim countries.
Thus far, at least, most prominent war hawks have found they had more in common with Clinton than Trump. “I would say all Republican foreign policy professionals are anti-Trump,” leading neoconservative Robert Kagan told a group in July.

This does not look good folks. If Trump pulls, what I think he is about to pull; it will be seen as the biggest batrayal of those who supported him, like me. The bastards got to him, I bet and now, he is caving. I knew it would happen. I just did not know when.

Sorry to quote it all. But, man, this sucks. 😡

UPDATED: Leon Russell Dead at 74

Saw the alert on my Fox News app on my phone.

One of the greatest rock musicians is dead at 74.

Via Rolling Stone:

Leon Russell, renowned multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who collaborated with the likes of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, the Rolling Stones and Elton John over the course of 50 years in the music industry, died Saturday. He was 74.
He was the forgotten man of Seventies rock — until Elton John pulled him back into the studio to make one more classic album
“Leon Russell died on Nov. 13, 2016 in Nashville at the age of 74. His wife said that he passed away in his sleep,” Russell’s website wrote. “The Master Of Space And Time was a legendary musician and songwriter originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma who performed his gospel-infused southern boogie piano rock, blues, and country music for over 50 years.”
Elton John, collaborated with Russell on 2010’s The Union, paid tribute to the musician on Instagram. “My darling Leon Russell passed away last night. He was a mentor, inspiration and so kind to me,” John wrote. “Thank God we caught up with each other and made The Union. He got his reputation back and felt fulfilled. I loved him and always will.”

His music is heard every day. Like this here, he is the one playing Piano:

Here’s a video from his days with Joe Cocker from the “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” era:

Here’s one of his hits:

RIP…. Sad smile

Update: I think I would selling Leon Russell and Joe Cocker short, if I did not include this clip here. It wasn’t just a rock concert, it was a religious experience, watching these two masters of their crafts at work. Not to mention the talent of all the people on that stage in that era. Looking at this video is a peek into a different time and different world. Enjoy the video:

Video: The hypocrisy of the left is stunning

First up is the stunning hypocrisy of Michael Moore, He wants to get rid of the electoral college. Funny, he didn’t seem to mind it in 2008 and 2012, when Obama won those elections.

Then, there is this pissy sounding article here.

Here is my video commentary:

A question to ALL political bloggers!

I wanted to post this when it happened, but my Dad is in the hospital and I couldn’t.

I post this to pose a question to the blogging world:

Hillary said it too:

As did President Obama:

Now my question to the blogging world; Conservative, Republican, Liberal and Democrat alike is this: Can’t we all just try to get along a little better?

I mean, we can all have our opinions and political positions. But, can’t we just try to be a little bit more civil to one another? Please?

The Bookstore is GONE!

After many years, I have decided to get rid of the Amazon Bookstore. I cannot remember my password for the life of me and the email address that I used for it, not longer exists. So, I decided to ditch it. No one used it anyhow. So, it’s gone.

Congrats to Mustang Bobby for 13 years at Bark Bark Woof Woof

I believe some congrats are in order here:

So here we are, thirteen years, three residences, two Mustangs, two presidents, four presidential campaigns, and over 25,000 posts later, and I’m still getting up every morning and writing every post. In fact, in all these years, only two posts were written by people other than me and they did it because I was incommunicado because of hurricanes (thank you, CLW and Brian).
But not a day has gone by that I haven’t come up with something to post. Sometimes it’s passionate, sometimes it’s silly or snarky or just for the fun of it. I’ve shared good times — having a play go to New York — and I’ve shared some tough times. There have been very few things I haven’t covered in the last thirteen years, and the only test I have for choosing what to write about is will it be worth sharing with the people who read this.
I’ve made a lot of friends, forged new pathways of self-discovery, learned so much, and been touched by people I only know through nicknames and pixels. There are so many people I want to thank for being here and being there for me. As I said at the outset, I couldn’t do this without you, dear reader, and I hope that in these years I’ve enlightened you, provoked you, maybe even pissed you off on occasion. The one thing I hope I haven’t done is bore you.
So with that said, I’ll ask what I always ask: What’s next? – Source: Thirteen Years Of Bark Bark Woof Woof | Bark Bark Woof Woof

Bark Bark Woof Woof was one of the blogs that I used to read quite a bit, when I was rooting for the Democrats. He is a bit of a moderate, and that is a good thing. I always liked Bobby’s stuff and he is a hard working school teacher, which is an honorable job and a tough one at that.

I hope he doesn’t mind hearing it from me. But, Congrats Bobby!

On a totally sort-kinda related note: When writing this, I kept wanting to type Booby, instead of Bobby. I hate that! Congrats Booby! 😆

Some thoughts on Donald Trump’s win

There’s a post title I never thought that I would actually write.

First off, let me say this: I think it was absolutely unprofessional, ungraceful, uncouth and downright spiteful — of Hillary Rodham Clinton to not come out and address her supporters and basically tell them that she was going to lose.

In fact, I don’t even look for her to call her supporters back to that hotel. But rather, I look for her to do a short press conference giving a concession speech and look for her to disappear off the world stage for a very long time.

I think one of the biggest mistakes that the liberal media made, as well as the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton’s campaign is that they were stupid enough to actually think that the American people were not actually listening to what Donald Trump was saying. But rather focusing on the media sideshow that followed him around. This was a serious miscalculation on the entire left” part.

I believe also that the Democrat Grassroots was suffering from what I like to call Post Obama depression. Basically the Democrat Party counted on the black vote and Latino vote to propel Hillary Clinton into the White House and that simply did not happen this time around and I believe it’s because Black America felt like they had been let down by President Obama and they felt that this black guy did nothing for us; that this white woman sure as hell wasn’t going to do it either.

Also happen to know that in 2008 a lot of Libertarians and independents and other such type of people, who normally didn’t vote Democrat, did just that; because either they didn’t like John McCain or they had this idea that a black president was a wonderful novelty… that didn’t happen this time.

I think another reason why Clinton lost was just simply the fact that a lot of people saw Clinton as a retread of the 1990s and not to mention the fact that she had alot of scandals following her around and doging her candidacy.

I think the two big things that deep-sixed her candidacy for president, was when she referred to Trump supporters as a basket full of ddeplorable and when James Comey made the announcement that he made about the investigation. Those two things ruined her chances of winning.

Get out and VOTE!

Janet Reno Dead at 78

I wish I really could muster some sympathy for this dreadful woman.

Via the NYT:

The Butcher of Waco
Janet Reno, who rose from a rustic life on the edge of the Everglades to become attorney general of the United States — the first woman to hold the job — and whose eight years in that office placed her in the middle of some of the most divisive episodes of the Clinton presidency, died on Monday at her home in Miami-Dade County, Fla. She was 78.
Her sister, Margaret Hurchalla, said the cause was complications of Parkinson’s disease, which was diagnosed in November 1995, while she was still in office.
Ms. Reno’s tenure as attorney general was bracketed by two explosive events: a deadly federal raid on the compound of a religious cult in Waco, Tex., in 1993, and, in 2000, the government’s seizing of Elián González, a young Cuban refugee who was at the center of an international custody battle and a political tug of war.
In those moments and in others Ms. Reno was applauded for displaying integrity and a willingness to accept responsibility, but she was also fiercely criticized. Republicans accused her of protecting President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore when, in 1997, she refused to allow an independent counsel to investigate allegations of fund-raising improprieties in the White House.

Why do I say that, you ask?

These images might help:

Please, GO HERE TO THIS LINK to see Reno’s handiwork.

So, no, I will not feel any pity for this woman, at all. She could have ordered the FBI and ATF to stand down; and just waited Koresh out. But, no, she ordered them in and this is what happened. She is very much to blame, as is the ATF and FBI. Koresh was too. But, the biggest blame is to her. So, no, I will not morn her death, at all. May she BURN in the devil’s hell for eternity.

In case you are wondering….

In case you are wondering why I am posting so much here as of late. The truth is a found a tool to make blog posting a whole bunch easier! Open-mouthed smile

I am using what is called Open Live Writer. Now, here is the story on it. Windows used to have a program called “Windows Live Writer”, that went along with it’s “Windows Live” package and it was very awesome. Well, Windows basically discontinued that package and many bloggers, like me; were left in the lurch. Sad smile Crying face Well, some very smart people somehow or another got the source code to the original program and have continued development of it.

Needless to say, when I found this program, I was over the moon happy! Hot smile Open-mouthed smile

So, things around here will be picking up a bit, now that I have my tool back! Winking smile
