[THEGUARDIAN] Although Russia has not responded to US sanctions over the Ukraine crisis by putting a travel ban on President Barack Obama I am the change that you seek... , there is one part of the country he is now barred from entering: Chechnya.
On Saturday Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of the small Russian republic that has been the scene of two devastating separatist wars in the past 20 years, said he was placing Obama on a list of people banned from visiting.
The list also includes European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... figures Jose Manuel Barroso, Herbert van Rompuy and Catherine Ashton.
Kadyrov, wrote on his Instagram account that the ban was in response to US and EU actions in Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, which he called "state terrorism ... any action taken by a non-Moslem state that constrains the violent impulses of Moslems or their allies ... On Saturday, the Russian foreign ministry released a strongly worded statement blaming the US, in part, for the Ukraine crisis.
"The United States continues to push Kiev into the forceful repression of [Ukraine's] Russian-speaking population's discontent," the statement said. "There is one conclusion — the B.O. regime has some responsibility both for the internal conflict in Ukraine and its severe consequences."

the president of the small Russian republic that has been the scene of two devastating separatist wars in the past 20 years. This place has been in chaos for a long time. The last thing they need is a leftist Alinsky-type community organizer creating more chaos.

In the poster, cross out 30 and put in 50. The term wage slave is taking on a whole new meaning.

I got one of those. plenty of 4 letter words in my reply to the GOP response email address.
This shows just how elitist and out of touch the central party in DC has become. Rove, Barbour, all those criminals. Until the GOP runs them out of the party, the party will continue to rot, with McCain, et al compromising their way to a progressive hell.
#3
I didn't realize how pathetic they've become. I received that email too but I couldn't even work up any surprised outrage as my opinion of the RNC is so low. 10 years ago I would have been pissed. Now? Not so much.
#4
I did not receive this, as I haven't donated to any national Republican organization in over a decade. I donate directly to candidates, especially in primaries.
#6
The last time someone from the national R'pug party called me asking for a donation ... yeah, her ears are probably still ringing. Which was likely unfair of me personally, since she was likely a low-level drone volunteer, or even someone from a hired phone-bank operation.
I did not abandon the GOP ... the GOP insulted, betrayed and sold me out, through being mealy-mouthed, lickspittle members of the Establishment Party, meekly lining up for their turn at what was left in the trough. Like Ilblis, I prefer to support individual candidates - those who have some fire about supporting the Country Party.

You know, when I started volunteering for a local tea party, a good chunk of the active members, and a whole lot of the contributors were local small to medium-sized businesses. Some of them were tiny companies, essentially one person with their family helping, and some of them were retail and restaurants ... the sort of businesses which taken all together are employers of quite a good chunk of the working population.

Hillary's approach is to appeal to the middle. Which is why the only democrat contenders are far left and proud (moonbeam and squaw 'shitting bull' warren). Not surprised she is now playing to the RINOs.
#2
I can see why the elite in Washington D.C. and Chicago would want to ban the carrying of firearms. The ordinary people might see behind the curtain. They might just all realize that they are getting shafted and get fed up.

Have we reach the point yet where such acts by pols are declared an out right civil rights violation and lose immunity to prosecution for conspiracy to violate those rights?
Haaretz is the WaPo/NYTimes of Israel. They represent the leftist, dovish segment of the population. They personally like Kerry and can't believe he is as stupid as it seems.
Kerry's latest cease-fire plan: What was he thinking?
The draft Kerry passed to Israel on Friday shocked the cabinet ministers not only because it was the opposite of what Kerry told them less than 24 hours earlier, but mostly because it might as well have been penned by Khaled Meshal. It was everything Hamas could have hoped for.
Israeli rubes self-identify. Back when I used to read the New York Times, I also read Ha'aretz. It now occurs to me that my father never did, though he'd been a technocrat for Labour during his Israeli period. Daddy read the international edition of the Jerusalem Post.

We the American people figured that out a long time ago when we voted for Bush over Kerry.
[Breitbart] Friday at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) told her Republican colleagues trying to get to the bottom of a potential violation of federal election law by the Obama administration that they "don't have a right to know everything in a separation-of-powers government, my friend."
If I had the energy I'd find the documentation of what she said about separation of powers when George W. Bush was president...
Norton claimed, "That is the difference between a parliamentary government and a separation-of-powers government."
Norton was addressing the Obama administration defying Chairman Darrell Issa's (R-CA) subpoena of David Simas, the director of the Office of Political Strategy and Outreach, to appear before Congress. Issa has accused Obama's former labor secretary, Hilda Solis, of breaking the law with a voicemail seeking political donations for the president's re-election.
Defying a subpoena is a criminal act which can land you in jail in the U.S. or the U.K. Of course breaking the law means nothing to the IQ-67 cadre.

2 words for Eleanor: Fuck You. Last time someone got that attitude, we had a revolution. Seems to forget Congress is supposed to govern, not rule. I am a citizen, not a subject -- seems she thinks the nation is like her plantation slaves/cattle she keeps in line and in ignorance for the Dem party vote farming.
#2
Ditto that OS. This woman is dumb as a box of rocks. Must be that Lincoln's Gettysburg address did not have much meaning for her or at least the part where it says government of the people, by the people, for the people.
#3
Yep Eleanor, and doctors can take the same attitude about what you need to know about your health (cause it's only for your own good, no need to scare you - see:death panels). /sarc off

A recorded call with a private contractor in 2010 of Congresswoman Norton soliciting campaign contributions in return for favorable project awards:
This is, uh, Eleanor Norton, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton. Uh, I noticed that you have given to, uh, other colleagues on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I am a, um, senior member, a 20-year veteran and am chair of the Sub-committee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management. I'm handling the largest economic development project in the United States now, the Homeland Security compound of three buildings being built on the, uh, old St. Elizabeth's hospital site in the District of Columbia along with, uh, 15 other, uh, sites here for, that are part of the stimulus.
I was, frankly, uh, uh, surprised to see that we don't have a record, so far as I can tell, of your having given to me despite my, uh, long and deep, uh, work. In fact, it's been my major work, uh, on the committee and sub-committee. It's been essentially in your sector.
I am, I'm simply candidly calling to ask for a contribution. As the senior member of the, um, committee and a sub-committee chair, we have [chuckles] obligations to raise, uh, funds. And, I think it must have been me who hasn't, frankly, uh, done my homework to ask for a contribution earlier. So I'm trying to make up for it by asking for one now, when we particularly, uh, need, uh, contributions, particularly those of us who have the seniority and chairmanships and are in a position to raise the funds.
I'm asking you to give to Citizens for Eleanor Holmes Norton, PO Box 70626, DC, 20024. I'll send you a follow-up note with appreciation for having heard me out. Thanks again.

As a matter of fact, you stupid scrut, if it isn't to do with national security - we do have a right to know it. Get this, Eleanor - you and your ilk work for us. We do not work for you. Our taxes pay your salary, we essentially hire you to do a job.
We, Eleanor. We, the people.
Under any other circumstance of employment, you'd be emptying out the contents of your desk into a cardboard carton, surrendering your employee badge and being escorted to the door by security, with a check for severance pay in your sweaty little hand.
#8
Sgt. Mom, people who are fired for cause shouldn't get a severance check. Maybe waged and vacation owed, but that's it.

I'm feeling generous, Rambler. There are employees that you just want to get gone, and if two weeks severance does it? Worth the relatively paltry expense.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
