Syrian “refugees” in the US: the initial costs
NYT’s Friedman calls for the violent removal of Trump
I wouldn’t have believed had I not seen the words myself.
Thomas Friedman, op-ed columnist for the New York Times, cleverly called for the outright assassination of presidential candidate Donald Trump in his Tuesday, August 9th article entitled “Trump’s Wink Wink to Second Amendment People.”
Friedman couches the true meaning of his article in the crafty guise of a response about Hillary Clinton as the victim of Trump when, in truth, the real intent is revealed in his final paragraph:
People are playing with fire here, and there is no bigger flamethrower than Donald Trump. Forget politics; he is a disgusting human being. His children should be ashamed of him. I only pray that he is not simply defeated, but that he loses all 50 states so that the message goes out across the land — unambiguously, loud and clear: The likes of you should never come this way again.
There can only be one interpretation of that last sentence — ironic, isn’t it, “last sentence”? — “the likes of you should never come this way again.”
That is the outright violent removal or total elimination, possibly by assassination, of Donald Trump.
And the US media insists that Leftists aren’t violent?

Hillary’s health?
Hillary Clinton very recently required physical assistance climbing a few stairs, much less an entire flight of stairs.
Hillary Clinton is on lifetime blood thinners, which translates to Warfarin or a like medicine — which is essentially rat poison. I know this because my father was on Warfarin.
Secret Service agents rush onstage? Because of a threat or because of a brainulus?
Ostensibly a SS agent attended to the Democratic nominee. I suggest we need to know much MORE about her medical condition. Was this a medical doctor?
She had a fall in February. She has had several falls. She suffered a concussion to the point where her eyesight was affected for a number of months in 2013 via, likely, a damaged cranial nerve. She had a blood clot on the outside of the brain. Because she is running for the ultimate national office, the electorate has a right to know what it is that her neurologist has said and written.
But consider the past when you cogitate about the future. Someone who is prone to falling as is Hillary Clinton, this would lead some to believe that falls are in the future.
In 1998 she had an episode of deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot, potentially the result of traveling. 50% of patients who suffer a concussion have post-concussion syndrome, falling prey to further falls and spatial/cognitive disorders. This can translate to vertigo issues. She has had multiple falls, in 2011 and 2012. It took her quite some time to recover from the concussion. That may lead, say doctors, to chronic fatigue syndrome or chronic vertigo.
Post concussion issues may include balance, dizziness, assembling cogent thoughts. Coumadin and her hypothyroid issues equal prolonged periods of treatment via Thyroxine and a varied amount of side effects.
Hillary’s health issues bring to mind those of JFK.
But, of course, to even broach the issue is shameful.
There are allegations of Valium usage which would indicate potential seizure issues.
We need to see more records.

P.S.
Trust me, if there were the SLIGHTEST mention of potential medical issues with Donald Trump, you would have seen them blasted into the MediaSphere for weeks on end.
In the meantime, at 70, Donald Trump seems to be the proverbial energetic candidate.
God bless him for that.
Obama: “I’m being forced out”
Ladies and gentlemen, say what you will about Donald Trump, but our illustrious NPD card-carrying CIC — again — thinks the world revolves around him.
Once more immured by video.
Yes, Obama actually said he is being “forced” out of office. Because, as you already realize, he’d really rather be a four term (or more) president not unlike FDR, who served from March 4, 1933 until his death on April 12, 1945. Up until the passage of the 22nd Amendment in 1951 there was no formal limitation on presidential terms, though informally presidents limited themselves to two terms.
The Imperial diktat of His Majesty Barack Hussein Obama.
“Forced” out of office?
Seriously?

Obama on Iran’s cash: “it’s not a ransom”
A literal pallet of cash sent from the US to Iran, from Iranian television.
I swear, you can’t write this shite.
Video from Iran TV, above. The full video of the ransom, cash and aircraft is below.
This is right out of a corny grade B movie thriller. Except that it’s neither thrilling nor is it fiction. It’s simply an Iranian economic stimulus, courtesy of the Barack Hussein Obama administration via the United States of America.
And guess what? YOU paid for it. The American Taxpayer. The same American Taxpayer that provided Obama’s administration with the greatest amount of revenue in the history of the United States.
First, the story from 9News.com/AU:
US secretly airlifted $400m in cash to Iran on wooden pallets
by Matthew Henry
The Obama administration secretly airlifted $400m in cash to Iran in an unmarked cargo plane earlier this year in what Republicans allege was a “ransom payment”.
Wads of Euros and Swiss francs stacked on wooden pallets were delivered in January just as five American prisoners were granted clemency by Tehran, unnamed sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Procured from central banks in the Netherlands and Switzerland, the cash payment was not disclosed when President Obama announced the release of the hostages on January 17.
If that doesn’t conjure up a mental photo of a prototypical illegal exchange of cash in the dark of night during a rainstorm, I don’t know what does. “Wads of Euros and Swiss francs stacked on wooden pallets.” Sheesh.
Even Paul Ryan, RINO, said:
House Speaker Paul Ryan, one of the Republican party’s most senior officials, said the report, if true, “confirms our longstanding suspicion that the administration paid a ransom in exchange for Americans unjustly detained in Iran.
To continue:
The White House has denied any link between the payment and the release of hostages, saying it was the first installment in $1.7b owed to Iran over a failed arms deal just before Ayatollah Khomeini seized power 37 years ago.
“This $400 million is actually money that the Iranians had paid into a US account in 1979 as part of a transaction to procure military equipment,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
“It is against the policy of the United States to pay ransom for hostages.”
I have but only one response: the definition of ransom.
ran·som
ˈransəm/
Charles Krauthammer nailed it, gangsta-style.
“Because it kinda feels like some spy novel, or a crime novel because cash was exchanged.”
The DOJ objected to the way the “deal” was structured, as they said — rightly so — that it would do nothing but appear as a ransom payout for the hostages because those two things occurred the same day.
Also, that is completely exclusive of the fact that, unless one wants to embolden hostage-takers, villains, dictators and criminals, a country or an entity or an individual should never pay a ransom because — obviously, due to the nature of criminals — the hostage-taking will not stop. It merely proves that the act of hostage-taking is productive.
Further, that cash will be used in furtherance of one thing: terrorist acts against Muslims and against the West. Violence, death, chaos and carnage.
I don’t believe in coincidences and, apparently, the hostages don’t believe it either. From the NYPost.com:
Hostage: We couldn’t leave until second plane landed in Iran
by Joe Tacopino
One of the American hostages who was released the day the United States sent $400 million to Iran said his plane to freedom was not allowed to take off until “another plane” arrived in Tehran, according to a report.
Pastor Saeed Abedini, who was among four Americans released this past Jan. 17, told Fox Business he wound up waiting for an extended time for the second plane to reach the Iranian capital and was never told why the arriving aircraft was so important.
“I just remember the night at the airport sitting for hours and hours there, and I asked police, ‘Why are you not letting us go?’ ” Abedini said. “He said, ‘We are waiting for another plane so if that plane doesn’t come, we never let [you] go.’ ”
Please remember, however, that Mr Obama says that is the most dissolute of coincidences and no logical thinking person could possibly make the connection between a pallet full of cash and the release of the hostages.
But here is the conspicuous logic that Mr Obama fails to understand:
Suddenly, after 36 years — and entirely coincidentally, claims the White House — Obama decides it’s time to settle the matter of the $400 million. He’s going to give Iran back its $400 million, plus $1.3 billion in taxpayer money. And — entirely coincidentally — the hostages were being freed. Said Obama on January 17, “With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well.”
36 years, yes; but also seven years of the Obama Administration. Why that day? Why that shipment? Why cash? Do you think that Obama couldn’t have picked up the telephone, spoken to Iran and then ordered that $400 million be wired or transferred to Iran?
If not, I have nuclear centrifuges in Iran I’d like to sell you.
Oh wait, Iran’s not selling them. They’re too busy being used right now.
