Obama said: “if you don’t go along with me to close Guantanamo, I’m going to veto the NDAA.”
So he did. The president decided not to fund our warriors. Screw our military people, said Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama vetoes $612 billion defense bill in rebuke to GOP
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama vetoed a sweeping $612 billion defense policy bill Wednesday in a rebuke to congressional Republicans, and insisted they send him a better version that doesn’t tie his hands on some of his top priorities.
In an unusual Oval Office ceremony, Obama praised the bill for ensuring the military stays funded and making improvements on armed forces retirement and cybersecurity. Yet he pointedly accused Republicans of resorting to “gimmicks” and prohibiting other changes needed to address modern security threats.
“Unfortunately, it falls woefully short,” Obama said. “I’m going to be sending it back to Congress, and my message to them is very simple: Let’s do this right.”
But here’s the real truth regarding Mr Obama’s veto of the bill:
Obama also rejects the bill as written due to provisions making it harder for him to transfer suspected terror detainees out of the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a key campaign promise that Obama is hard-pressed to fulfill before his term ends. The White House has also expressed concerns over provisions preventing military base closures and funding equipment beyond what the military says it needs.
While Hillary Clinton lied her ass off under oath at the Benghazi hearing Thursday, clearly admitting she ignored over SIX HUNDRED emails begging her office for additional security in Benghazi, the US lost the first soldier to ISIS. He died in Iraq, killed when US and Kurdish forces met. I thought we weren’t fighting in Iraq. I thought Barack Hussein Obama pulled our fighting forces out of Iraq. He said he had. Now the vanguard Obama helped to create, ISIS, has killed its first US soldier. ISIS couldn’t be happier.
Finally, 93% of beltway journalists are self-identified as Demorats, by the way. They think Obama is performing swimmingly and, additionally, that he himself isn’t biased. Obama is right to shut down the military and give his finger to soldiers who served.
That’s why the news is so terribly unbiased.
Huh. Imagine that.

Another reason to get the hell out of Fornicalia and to minimize government on every level and in every state.
Government wants to tell you what to eat, how to eat, when to eat, what to wear, how to wear it, what to live in, how to transport yourself, what to say, how to say it, what to think and how to think. They even tell you how to wipe with TP, how many squares to wipe, what kind of TP to use. And how much water to flush said shit.
Now it wants to micromanage your cat. That’s like trying to micromanage possums. Or air, or currents. Not going to happen.
L.A. County will require cat owners to spay or neuter and microchip their pets
by Abby Sewell
Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday passed a long-awaited mandate for residents of the county’s unincorporated areas to spay or neuter and microchip their cats.
Although the number of stray dogs euthanized in county shelters has dropped in recent years, cats that get picked up continue to face grim prospects. Last year, the county Department of Animal Care and Control impounded 28,911 cats, and 21,055 of them were euthanized.
But wait. Here comes the actual point.
Vouchers of $50 to offset the cost of “fixing” the cats will be available for all county residents until the first $125,000 of funding is spent. After that, they will continue to be issued to low-income cat owners, Department of Animal Care and Control Director Marcia Mayeda said.
What isn’t written here? The fine that will be levied to regular taxpayers. You know, the persons who pay the bulk of the cash to Los Angeles County? MONEY. Fines and taxes.
Folks, you ever try to contain a cat? Try to keep your cat in the back yard? Try to keep your cat from wandering away and never appearing again?
Good damned luck.
This is another potential cash bonanza for government, under the guise of “caring.”
Next focus: your goldfish.
Goldfish Oppression.
Goldfish Liberation.
Go.

And I must say, I am surprised.
From AP.org:
VP Joe Biden says he will not run for president in 2016
by Josh Lederman
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden will not run for president in 2016, he said Wednesday, ending a months-long flirtation with a third White House campaign and setting him on a glide path toward the end of his decades-long political career.
Biden’s decision finalizes the Democratic field of White House candidates and bolsters Hillary Rodham Clinton’s standing as the front-runner by sparing her a challenge from the popular vice president.
Yes, people were saying Biden couldn’t win. People said Biden would proffer a treasure trove of “Bidenisms” and video that would be played endlessly, including that of Biden asking the man in the wheelchair to stand up for recognition.
The real reason I think Biden didn’t run? Final consultation with Barack Hussein Obama.
Translated: the Hillary Factor. If Biden were to step in, some elements fear the Hillary Scorched Earth Policy. She would pull out some of the worst incidents and positions of the Obama Administration and use those against Biden to get elected. She would attempt to distance herself from Obama and Biden. She would reveal the Emperor as he is: naked and Imperial. Obama certainly cannot condone that or allow it to be illuminated.
Finally: I think it means Hillary won’t be indicted. Reading between the lines, you see.
In a way, sad. I would love to have seen the fireballs and thunderstorms.

Let’s run through the theories.
1 Joe Biden is IN
The most obvious theory for Biden running, even as late as this, is that Hillary Clinton is unelectable or may even face indictment of some sort for her involvement in the email scandal that she only brought upon herself. This may source from some kind of “insider information” possessed by the DNC or the Spite House regarding Hillary’s future viability as a candidate. They may know something the public does not. Hillary has not one but two substantial albatrosses about her neck: Benghazi and her server. Of the two, I’d wager the most likely negative outcome would be from the FBI email investigation.
Some people ask about the cash aspect. But if Hillary is swept aside, the organization and funding once funneled to Hillary could be shuttled to Slow Joe from the DNC. Joe Biden just might be the Spite House Plan B in all its hair-plugged fleshy splendor. The support of Obama could make a huge monetary difference, as I suspect Joe wants to continue what Obama has already installed in place. Or so Obama may believe.
A new CNN/ORC poll, in terms of Demorat presidential favorability, indicates that Joe Biden pulls 51%, Hillary 46%, Sanders 41%, O’Malley 14%, Webb 14% and Chafee 7%.
Additionally, most everyone knows there is no love lost between the Clintons and the Obamas. The blood is thick and turpid. This naturally stems from Hillary running against Obama in 2008. Apparently Hillary walked into the Spite House and asked for the dogs to
be called off entirely. They were not called off entirely.
That Obama spoke somewhat negatively about the FBI investigation was pure Kabuki Theater. He did it to appease the Hillary contingent.
Hillary is much more of a Centrist. She will bend to the prevailing Political Prairie Winds. She learned that from Willie J. What is Biden? The VP. Obama’s VP.
2 Joe Biden is OUT
Some analysts ask: what’s in it for Joe? Some analysts say that it’s nothing more than a “Republican plot” to muddy the waters. Yes, those insanely paranoid Leftist analysts.
The theory goes that Biden has run before and not done well. And where is his financing right now? His cash? Some say the DNC knows Biden can’t pull a sufficient amount of cash at the last second.
Further, it appears that Obama is doing his public best to try to shield Hillary Clinton, minimizing the importance of her emails. This, of course, pissed off the FBI and Director James Comey, and it put him in a political jackpot.
It is said that Biden has been decked with the same dreck as Obama because of his position. He is too closely aligned to Obama whereas Hillary is a bit further away, at least now.
Can Biden actually win? Not many people think he can. He will play for the Emotive Factor regarding his son Beau, and the deaths of wife and daughter he lost in 1972. Yes, both tragedies. But can emotions carry him to the White House over a Republican? Some say Biden could win the Demorat nomination. But he couldn’t win against the GOP.
And: just how Left is Joe Biden? Can he run against a Bernie Sanders and cast aside the appeal of Sanders? Because the Corporatist aspect of the DNC won’t allow Sanders to win. He kills cash. The DNC can’t afford their cash to be killed. Biden needs to, therefore, win. But can he, against Sanders? It is theorized that Hillary can.
Then there are the many resplendent “Bidenisms” and the many hours of glorious YouTube material provided us over the years, including asking the crippled man in the wheelchair to stand up. Ooopsie.
Then there is the Hillary Factor. If Biden were to step in, some elements fear the Hillary Scorched Earth Policy. She would pull out some of the worst incidents and positions of the Obama Administration and use those against Biden to get elected. She would attempt to distance herself from Obama and Biden. She would reveal the Emperor as he is: naked and Imperial. Obama certainly cannot condone that or allow it to be illuminated.
Plots, subplots and sub-subplots.
So what do you think?
Is Biden in or out?
I’ll take that bet.
Biden is in.
That’s how electable and huggly-snuggly is Hillary.
