From the mind to substance
Morsi axes military and intelligence chiefs. Look for Morsi to appoint MB brethren to these key posts.
This is exactly what I warned he would do when he became president. He desperately needs these two key posts to be MB people so he can wrestle the country to Islamists – synonym for trouble. Don’t forget it is the MB that CES wanted as leaders in Egypt. Don’t ever forget that!
CES = chief empty suit
One of the biggest errors that the USA and other countries made prior to WWII was not taking the ravings of the madman Hitler seriously. He put in deed, print and spoken word his hatred of the Jewish people, his belief that they ruled the world and kept many nations “down” and he also shared his solution. Hitler also was coy in how he allowed and played the so-called diplomatic games merely to provide cover and time for his true intentions to be realized. He practiced making promises and even signing peace documents while “his fingers were crossed” merely so he could get the other side to believe peace was realized or that diplomacy was working. History reveals he was a liar, killer, hater, evil and maniacal.
Do so-called leaders learn from history?
We have the same SOP being played out in the country of Iran by its president Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran sponsors which means funds, prepares strategies and arms terrorists to strike Israel such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
Read the latest from Iran and consider what I am writing.

This from Nolte at Breitbart
GDP collapsing from 4.1% growth to 1.5% is free fall.
Three months of job growth under 100k when you need more than twice that number just to keep up with population growth is free fall. Home sales plummeting 8.4% is free fall. Consumer confidence dipping, business inventories increasing, manufacturing contracting, and more people getting disability than jobs, is free fall.
The only way this failed and failing and flailing president can win reelection is to toxify his opponent into someone the public will see as NOT an acceptable alternative to Obama — and this is exactly what the corrupt media is making sure happens by ignoring over 20 million people struggling in their under-employed or unemployed status while keeping its focus on all-things Mitt 24/7.
Even as the economy collapses ands real suffering increases, all the media can do is hysterically amplify every real and perceived mistake Romney makes and when not doing that, focus intently on the very areas Obama wants the focus on: Romney’s wealth and the fact he’s not releasing more of his taxes than John McCain did.
Honest, I wrote the post this morning before reading the Rice article located here.
I agree with about 90% of what she wrote.
The big takeaway point from the article is we need a President that is a leader who embraces and believes that the USA is an exceptional country. The article is short, maybe 5 minutes long. Good synopsis of the gaping vacuum in the president’s office.
As for this post there will be no hyperlinks to articles or copying & pasting text from another location. Not that there hasn’t been some interesting events unfurling or breaking through. In the real world of my own existence and livelihood, things have been also breaking through which has required my attention and consideration. Those kind of events I record on my LJ not here. But as mentioned, much has occurred and with the hands of the sundial and the zodiac getting ready to line up to the eighth month of 2012 I am a bit stunned how much hasn’t happened than what has. Surely the kid plugging the hole in the dyke must have two-score thumbs.
Unresolved or continuing to deteriorate:
Our Congress and the partisan immaturity & noncooperation
Syria
Afghanistan/Pakistan
Iran and the whole nuclear weapon question
Euro and the European financial crisis
US unemployment and economy
Stability in the Middle East
and there is many more stories and events but these are the ones I continue to monitor.
November arrives and hopefully we will see with it the removal of the incumbent occupying the executive branch of government. Of course there is much harm that he can do in those long days of being a lame duck president. Nevertheless their is far greater fear of another four years of damage to our country and standing in the world.
“Leadership from behind” is the strategy and creation of someone who is NOT a leader. It is the result of someone who is doing something that is actually against their convictions and values. I think that sums up the CES’ four years. He is president of America, a country he has no conviction for nor possesses its historical values. We need a leader, someone who will navigate the mess we are in with convictions and values rooted in the exceptionalism of America. Someone who will stand tall with our allies, not blink with our enemies and rally the domestic forces to unite and work together. That is the person our country needs as President of the United States of America.
In this The Week magazine on page 20 is the article Obamacare ruling: Why did Roberts switch sides?
The article does like a typical Week article and presents a few bits of commentary and analysis on the subject. It well reflects all the commentary I read or heard following the decision which is – in essence, boiled down to the bottom-line he made a political decision.
Over the last hundred years and maybe longer the MSM and the Executive and Legislative branches of government have politicized the role of a supreme court judge which has fed the current situation Roberts felt he was in. The Dems were and MSM were ready to bash the Supreme Court for striking down the greatly flawed Obamacare Act because it was and is a subject/issue of interest to them. Now consider carefully what the Dems and MSM would have said – it (the Supreme Court) is conservative, if not Republican majority court so this was further political attacks on the current president. Roberts, in his thinking and reasoning allowed himself to be bullied by this flawed argument and then flipped sides in a political verbal gymnastics routine that allowed each side to feel a bit of victory while then the Dems and MSM would not say the Supreme Court was a republican…
Hence Roberts’ decision was political and not constitutional for he chose to make a political stand and not a constitutional stand on the legislation.
Simply put = he DID NOT DO HIS JOB – PERIOD and he did a grave injustice to the S.C. now and in the future. The S.C. is supposed to be above the riff-raff of the legislative and executive branches. It is supposed to be the defender of the Constitution of the United States and by implication the country’s society.
Hope, Levity and Wonder
