Name just one accomplishment...

Question: What was One Achievement Hillary Clinton had as Sec. of State? Answer: Nothing

It is astonishing that Democrats are even considering running Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. Based on her achievements, it would be astonishing if she gained the office of elementary school crossing guard, much less the highest office in the country.

The simple fact is that Hillary Clinton has produced no tangible achievements as Secretary of State.
Well, I suppose that’s not really true… She did manage to sit by as Americans were slaughtered in Benghazi and tried to help clean up the mess afterwards. Somehow, though, I don’t think that particular “achievement” will make it onto Hillary 2016 billboards.

Former Bill Clinton adviser Lanny Davis recently commented on Hillary Clinton’s likely run on Hugh Hewitt’s show but, when asked point blank if he could enumerate her achievements, Davis could not produce a single achievement other than she was “popular.”

Hugh Hewitt: All right, one question, you’ve got a minute. Summarize for me what she accomplished as Secretary of State.
Lanny Davis: Well, the biggest thing of all is goodwill around the world, which is what secretaries of State do.

No, Secretaries of State are not goodwill ambassadors. They do not fly around the world to merely put friendly faces at state events, they are supposed to be problem solvers and government officials.

Secondly, even if it were her job to put instill goodwill around the globe, given the hostilities facing America, I would have to say that she did her supposed job poorly.

Sensing he was heading down a bad path, Davis tried to backtrack and suggest that the accomplishments of the State Department are her shared accomplishments, too. When Hewitt asked about Syria, Libya and Egypt and the notable lack of goodwill in the region, Davis replied

I don’t know, well, Libya and certainly the intervention in Libya and getting rid of Qaddafi, you would say that’s a pretty good achievement for the President. But these are presidential achievements with a partnership of the secretary of State. What do secretaries of State do? For example, she was very instrumental in the details of the Iranian sanctions program, which has produced, apparently, some results. I’m very skeptical about this deal in Iran on the nuclear weaponry. But the credit she deserves on this sanctions program, which literally was her program in the State Department to enforce, but in partnership with Barack Obama.
Hewitt: So her achievement is that…
Davis: But this doesn’t change the question about the secretary of State having achievement. This is a secretary of State is the most popular woman in the world and restored relations with everyone in the world.

Well, there you have it: Hillary’s main achievements have been that she’s been popular with countries that hate us, shares the credit for helping lay the groundwork for a deal that allows Iran to play the Obama Administration like a fiddle and has “restored relations with everyone in the world.”… Because before Hillary, America was lost and had no relations with anyone in the world.

Again, there are things for which she can honestly claim credit: she helped establish policies in the Middle East that destabilized the region and North Africa; she reigned over the State Department that repeatedly denied requests from Ambassador Chris Stevens for increased security before the Benghazi attack; she refused to lift a finger to help American personnel who were being slaughtered in Benghazi; she helped propagate the preposterous lies that suggested a YouTube video was to blame for the Benghazi terrorist attack and, of course, she spit on the graves of Americans murdered thanks to her negligence by questioning before a Congressional hearing, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

For that, the right will happily give her her due credit. Other than that, the question still stands: What has Hillary achieved that would qualify her to ascend to the Oval Office?

Answer: Not a darn thing.

DAD, ABOUT YOUR WILL...

 

A man was telling his buddy, "You won't believe what happened last night... My daughter walked into the living room and said, ‘Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, forget my college tuition loan, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out the window; take my TV, and my laptop. Please take any of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters. Then, sell my car, take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then, disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to any charity you choose.’ "

"Holy Smokes," replied the friend, "she actually said that?"

"Well, she didn't put it quite like that, she actually said...

'Dad, meet my new boyfriend - Mohammed. We're going to work together on Hillary's election campaign!' ”

At war with the truth...

War just is...

"War is necessary because of sin. Not so much that war itself is sin, but sin is a system that does not wish to be discarded. Sin will pick a fight with goodness because it feels threatened by goodness itself. Sin itself is at war with goodness. If Goodness doesn't defend itself sin will snuff out goodness. This is why war is not good or evil, it just is. It is bad that war exists, but it is even worse when evil is not resisted in war."

~~Jamal Johnson

I don't know Jamal Johnson.

Mr. Johnson's explanation of sin and war was left as a comment to a You Tube video of an interview with Chris Kyle where Mr. Kyle explained that Americans do not understand war.

There is plenty of sin in the world.  Plenty of sin in America.

"If Goodness doesn't defend itself sin will snuff out goodness."

"It is bad that war exists, but it is even worse when evil is not resisted in war."

Four old Italian Ladies

These four older ladies who lived in Italy always sat outside together near the church and chatted about when they were younger.

One month ago they pooled their money together and bought a laptop.

Never having been, but having heard all about Florida, they just happened to click on St. Augustine.

They read about "The Fountain of Youth" claimed by the Spaniards when they arrived there.

They collected up all they had left and sent for 4 bottles of the water.  As soon as it arrived they drank it as directed.

The rest of the story will make you a believer, because here they are today.

No...  This is true!  Really!

We have a limited supply of this water available at the incredibly low price of just $14,999.95 a bottle.

Seriously...

Hurry and order before the inventory runs out!

Make checks payable to:

Teachers vs. Educators...

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington recently was faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.
That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night, the maintenance man would remove them and the... next day, the girls would put them back. 

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. 

She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. 

She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. 

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. 

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers, and then there are educators...

Charles Krauthammer Explains Obama's Lawlessness in 50 Seconds

During an interview on Fox News’ “Special Report,” columnist Charles Krauthammer called President Obama’s executive actions “unbelievably unconstitutional” and lawless.

Krauthammer pointed to a double standard in Washington and asserted that if the President were a Republican, “the people would be up in arms and would be impeaching.”

According to Krauthammer, the President has circumvented Congress “at least 15 times” on issues such as immigration, climate change, and most recently Obamacare. He specifically referred to the Dream Act, in which Obama implemented certain parts of the pending legislation in 2012.

The executive order debate resurfaced when Obama announced at his State of the Union address, “I will issue an Executive Order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally funded employees a fair wage of at least $10.10 an hour.”

Heritage Foundation Legal Fellow Andrew Kloster, who has argued that Obama’s unilaterally raising the minimum wage is likely unlawful, told The Foundry that Krauthammer is absolutely correct that the President Obama has taken an unlawful “go it alone” approach.

“Whether it is making unlawful payments to congressional health care plans, making recess appointments in violation of the Constitution, or urging federal contractors to violate the WARN Act,” Kloster said, “this administration has taken numerous actions that are abusive or plainly unlawful.”

Kloster noted that Obama’s actions are often justified on the grounds that “if Congress won’t act, I will.” He said that is not what not consistent with Constitution:

"'Frankly, circumventing the constitutional role that Congress plays in our Republic cannot be justified, no matter what the policy goals. Every President takes an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution” and has a constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” President Obama should always put that oath and his constitutional duty first. His politics, his legacy, his party — all these should come a distant second."'

Pretty much covers it...

I'm thinking that obama should probably be impeached, arrested and tried...  There are a whole lot more who should be treated the same way right along with him.

More like a wannabe dictator.

Thirteen pounds...

~~~~~~

Ran two tumblers most of the day yesterday.  Polished 13 pounds of .223 brass.  Most of the brass in the bag on the left was polished with Lyman's green treated corn cob media in a Lyman's 1200 Turbo tumbler.  This media gives the finished product something of a satin finish.  The brass in the coffee can on the right was cleaned in an old Frankford Arsenal tumbler with untreated corn cob media and a little bit of brass polish.  It has a very shiny finish.  Both products take about 4 hours to get the job done.

I need to get the granddaughter down here to start sizing brass.  Her little arm is going to be sore.  :)

Valerie Jarrett and her influence on obama.

Who is Valerie Jarrett? Valerie Bowman Jarrett was born on November 14, 1956 in Shiraz, Iran to African-American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz in 1956, as part of a program where American physicians and agricultural experts sought to help communtize developing countries’ health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, later moving to Chicago’s Hyde Park in 1963. Jarrett went to the exclusive University of Chicago Lab School before transferring to her mother’s alma mater, Northfield …
