Theres a lot goin on [again], so this component thereof is intended to cover a few key points, primarily

focused upon the upcoming BHO-speech; we know he wont admit he withdrew prematurely from Iraq,
but lets see if he has the ability to utter the word-pair Islamic Terror in a valiant effort to define goals.

Numerous websites advised that people celebrate a Happy 18
th
Birthday after prediction
that Global Warming has not yet occurred; climate hasnt changed. Thus, Global
Warming Jumped the Shark [as a part of a summary of the Week in Climate Stupid.
Amazingly, Schwarzenegger Returned to Sacramento to Celebrate Climate Change.

Emphasized herein have been state-national correlates to many conservative concerns; none is more
trenchant than Common Core, admittedly pushed by Bill Gates' to engrain Microsoft within the liberal
educational system; his Deceptive Drive to Continue Common Core Will Weaken Public Schools due to
loss of a tradition of flexible local-control. Indeed, Don Hirsch, Hailed As A Founder of Common Core
Standards, Said 'It's Not Going To Work' and it is predicted that Common Core Math will Lower College
Standards in the United States; as a result, Moms Against Common Core Launched a 'Bracelets That Are
NOT Common' National Campaign. That is why many states are recoiling, including Louisiana (where
Activists Asked David Vitter To End Support of Common Core Standards) and Texas (where the
Education Board's Mercer Resolution Seeks To Stop Radical APUSH Redesign. [The Texas State Board of
Education member from District 5, Ken Mercer, wants the Advanced Placement (AP) and International
Baccalaureate courses to be based on Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (the state's public
education standards) instead of on the College Board's radical revamping of AP US History (APUSH).]
Finally, Corbett asked the State Board of Education to review Common Core standards (and a campaign

The NCAA announced Penn State can keep the $60M fine, RESTORED PSU POSTSEASON
ELIGIBILITY, and RESTORED SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2015; as a result, litigation will probably
be dismissed. The reaction of Jay Paterno was cynical ['I think the NCAA saying this relief
is because of the Mitchell report process is a cover for the fact that there was a faulty
Freeh report'], but most PSU-fans/grads would have traded delaying the above
concessions for restoration of JoePas wins. This issue lives on. {Also, the FATTAH PROBE
encompasses 2 NONPROFITS, CLOSE ALLIES AND LOTS OF MONEY.}

Regarding the Islamic State, note consensus that BHO was at-fault and continues to stumble:

The Syrian opposition and many Syria observers are convinced that the rapid rise of the
Islamic State group is a result of the U.S. having left the Syrian conflict fester for so long

Regarding the Islamic State, note need to organize alliance [noting contrast with Bush-41/43]:

Daniel Pipes remain uniquely informative, most recently having analyzed Turkey both
internally and externally while predicting the demise of the Caliphate.
Arab Governments Agree to 'Confront' IS Jihadists

Yesterday on the Bill Bennett radio-show, Steve Hayes discussed his column that
explained why Al Qaeda Wasnt on the Run and explored why documents retrieved in
the bin Laden raid remain secret.

Regarding the war against Israel, Egypts Proposal to Extend the Gaza Strip Into Sinai on which a
Palestinian State would be Established was rejected by Abbas; finally, EU Considers Pulling the Plug on
Aid to Palestine, as Egypt will Try Morsi for Giving Qatar Security Papers. Clearly, recalling the conflict
between BHO/BB a few years ago [when the two-of-them chatted side-by-side @ 1600], BB has been
proven correct [despite BHOs best-efforts], for the Israel/Palestinian-Arab conflict is dwarfed by the rest
of the turmoil in the region. Also, professors signed a boycott petition against Israel [compiled c/o
Middle East Scholars Boycott Israel, JNS and The Jewish Press]. Meanwhile, as Israel Preps for a 'Very
Violent' War with Hezbollah, the IAEA claimed Iran [which funds Hezbollah] Failed to Address Nuclear
Bomb Concerns while Iran Arrested Suspected Nuclear Plant Saboteur.

Media Bias: The Joke of the Year

Most level-headed people realize that on issues like ISIS and Hamas, the mainstream
media is perhaps less than forthright and unbiased in its coverage.



For instance, we are supposed to believe that Islamist terrorists are either 'insurgents'
or 'militants' or some other watered down phrase because what a dreadful breach of
integrity it would be if the BBC called a spade a spade, right?

The fact that we are even at that point with moral relativism is enough cause for
laughter, but instead I wanted to share with you all a fantastic joke I just heard. I'm not a
big 'joke' guy but this one particularly tickled me.

Share it along, and enjoy:

A CNN Reporter, BBC Reporter, and an Israeli commando were captured
by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them that he would
grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.
The CNN Reporter said, Well, Im an American, so Id like one last
hamburger with French fries. The leader nodded to an underling who
left and returned with the burger & fries. The reporter ate it and said
Now, I can die.
The BBC Reporter said, Im a reporter to the end. I want to take out my
tape recorder and describe the scene here and whats about to happen.
Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till
the end. The terror leader directed an aide to hand over the tape
recorder and dictated some comments. The reporter then said, Now I
can die knowing I stayed true until the end.
The leader turned and said, And now, Mr. Israeli tough guy, what is
your final wish?
Kick me in the ass, said the soldier.
What? asked the leader, Will you mock us in your last hour?
No, Im not kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass, insisted the
Israeli. So the leader shoved him into the open and kicked him in the
ass.
The soldier went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol
from under his flak jacket, and shot the leader dead. In the resulting
confusion, he jumped to his knapsack, pulled out his carbine and
sprayed the terrorists with gunfire. In a flash, all terrorists were either
dead or fleeing for their lives.
As the soldier was untying the reporters, they asked him, Why didnt
you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you
in the ass first?
What? replied the Israeli, and have you report that I was the
aggressor?


A ceasefire struck between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine was largely
holding on Saturday, though residents and combatants said it was likely to prove a brief interlude before
renewed fighting; meanwhile, the Ukraine was Betrayed, for The West wont Resist Putin. Know that
that Foreign Powers Buy Influence at Think Tanks and the New Yorker's Remnick Offered Weak Defense
of Obama's Foreign Policy; the former is a chronic-concern and the latter is c/w usual lib-perspectives.

Socialist French President Francois Hollande, Who 'Despises the Poor,' is Beaten by Le
Pen in Latest Poll; indeed, he is in Trouble, in Public and Private because his new
government is already under fire (the economy is lagging) and a ravaging book by the
former first lady has exposed his private life.

There are numerous parallels between USA/UK, serving as the staple for Breitbarts page that is devoted
to this particular news-source (which also encompasses other foreign-policy concerns); for example,
paralleling the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement, NIGEL FARAGE has advised that U.S.
CONSERVATIVES MAY NEED TO FORM THEIR OWN UKIP, noting he met with Rand Paul and Murdoch.
Conservatives are in turmoil [CLACTON CONSERVATIVES SAID THEYLL VOTE UKIP AFTER MATTHEW

and out-of-control immigration ['Major Disturbance' at UK Immigration Centre]. Meanwhile, UK is
Building Two New Supercarriers in Major Military Ramp-up.

Note potential for an immediate referendum on the long-term drift of the UK:

Regarding the Midterms, trends appear to favor the GOP:

The GOP-establishment remains eager to find a candidate for POTUS-16, but it has been predicted that
the GOP ESTABLISHMENT 'NOT GOING TO BEAT THE DEMOCRATS'; Rubio Hinted He May Run for
President if Democrats Control Senate after Midterms and some feel ROMNEY also is interested [noting,
for example, he claimed there is 'No Question' I'd Be Better President Than Hillary] although he said he
is 'Not Planning' to Run because 'My Time Has Come and Gone.'

It may be recalled that I blogged a reference Joan Rivers had recently made to her dry
vagina and, in keeping with her desire for a joyous funeral, Howard Stern Gave Joan
Rivers a Filthy Eulogy that was based on this quote; IT WAS 'SO JOAN. SO GREAT,' as per
MARGARET CHO. I dont like raunchiness, but it is undeniable that this often served as a
vehicle for delivery of her brand of humor.

Regarding BHOs Scandal-Sheet, Greta Van Susteren said the Obama Admin Pressured her to Drop
Benghazi Story; also, IRS Says It Has Lost E-mails from 5 More Employees and BREITBART NEWS is now a
TARGET OF IRS AUDIT. Congressional Hearings on both are scheduled to occur next week, along with


Benghazi-Gate [which assuredly will be amplified by recent revelation of Bob as having issued thrice
the stand-down order BHOs minions have denied having generated (via the CIA station-chief)].
