The Hypocrisy of Susan Rice

    

What we don't need is someone who has been as complicit in lying to the American people as Susan Rice has lecturing anyone on the need to tell the truth. Susan's hypocrisy was on full display in her recent op-ed in The Washington Post. Susan, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Excerpts from her op-ed are in red.

Last week, the British intelligence agency GCHQ took the rare step of debunking as “utterly ridiculous” the Trump administration’s insinuation that Britain spied on Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. On Monday, FBI Director James B. Comey testified plainly that “I have no information that supports” President Trump’s accusations that his predecessor ordered the “wires tapped” at Trump Tower. These false statements from the White House are part of a disturbing pattern of behavior that poses real and potentially profound dangers to U.S. national security.

The foundation of the United States’ unrivaled global leadership rests only in part on our military might, the strength of our economy and the power of our ideals. It is also grounded in the perception that the United States is steady, rational and fact-based. To lead effectively, the United States must maintain respect and trust. So, when a White House deliberately dissembles and serially contorts the facts, its actions pose a serious risk to America’s global leadership, among friends and adversaries alike.

Really Susan? Did you really go there? You who lied to not just American citizens about Benghazi being about a YouTube Video, but also lied to our allies? You who worked for the first Administration who leaked that our strongest ally in the Middle East, Israel, does in fact have nuclear weapons. You who worked for the Administration who was caught spying on the leaders of our allies?

You who worked for the Administration who admitted in an interview with The New York Times they manipulated the press and lied to our allies especially Israel, to get their "deal" with Iran? You who worked for the Administration that issued the "red line warning" to Syria then did nothing when they crossed it. You don't think that damaged our standing in the world?

Who can forget Time Magazine's Lie of the Year? Don't you remember your boss, President Obama winning it for, "If you like your Dr. you can keep your Dr., if you like your Insurance you can keep your Insurance." Who can forget Jonathan Gruber admitting the intentional lies and misinformation used to pass Obamacare?

You worked for an Administration who has been caught lying to the American people and our allies more than any Administration in my memory. You participated in many of those lies. How do you think our Allies in Europe felt when they heard your boss caught on a "hot mike" saying "tell Valdimer  I will have more flexibility after my election." Do you really think that didn't damage our credibility with our allies?

Susan for the reasons listed above, among others, you have earned our Hypocrite of the Week award.

It All Makes Sense Now, Obama Iran, and ISIS

    

February 3, 2015, ISIS burned Jordanian Military Pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh to death. The video ISIS released showed him standing chained in a steel cage as the flames engulfed him. It was a video that shocked the world. Jordan's King Abdullah was actually in the United States at the time and cut his visit short to return to Jordan.

It wasn't long however before the King was back in the United States asking for ammunition, surveillance drones, as well as bombs and missiles for Jordan's planes. Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia were preparing to send in their military to take ISIS out. Permanently.  

They were turned down by the Obama Administration. Think about this. You had Sunni Muslim countries willing and able to go into Iraq and Syria and take out the predominantly Sunni Muslim ISIS. The Saudi's and other Gulf States were prepared to fund the military operation.  

I and other conservative commentators at the time questioned the decision by the Obama Administration to not only refuse to support their efforts, but also pressure them to stay out of it. It simply didn't make sense. Think of how many lives would have been saved had they been allowed to take ISIS out at that time. How many terror attacks across the world that may have been prevented.

I vividly remember writing an article questioning the decision by Obama and trying to come up with a legitimate reason why? I am pretty sure I know the reason now. Obama's failed Iranian Nuclear Deal. It is the only thing that makes sense. Especially when you see the lengths Ben Rhodes admitted in The New York Times he went too in order to manipulate and deceive the Press and the American People to get this "deal" done.

Had the Obama Administration allowed and supported the Sunni Muslim countries military to go in and take out ISIS there is no way Obama could get his horrible deal. The Iranian Mullahs would have been furious. Of course that is nothing new. They are always furious about something.

I hate to admit it but I didn't think of this while it was going on in early 2015. I wondered why the MSM was not asking the Obama Administration why they wouldn't support Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia in their willingness to destroy ISIS, but I must confess the Iranian "deal" never crossed my mind. Even when I read Ben Rhodes bragging in The New York Times it never crossed my mind. I even speculated it may be Valerie Jarrett's influence.

It wasn't until Prince Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud, an advisor to Deputy Crown Prince Salman al Saud of Saudi Arabia, appeared with Bret Baier for an interview to discuss the Deputy Crown Prince Salman’s meeting with President Trump.

Farhan said that the Crown Prince was “keen to come and meet President Trump as early as possible” to “reinvigorate their strategic, longstanding partnership” of fifty years.
Baier asked him about paying their fair share of the cost of defeating ISIS and setting up safe zones in Syria as Trump has mentioned.

The next thing Farhan said is quite disturbing. They’re “more than ready to cooperate with the United States on countering ISIS in Syria and Iraq, across the region, not just financially but the Saudi government offered during the Obama administration’s time to send its troops into Syria to fight ISIS, that was not met with enthusiasm by the Obama administration.”

It was then it all clicked. It was more important to President Obama to make this terrible deal with Iran than to once and for all destroy the savages of ISIS. It was more important for his legacy. He would have got very little credit for Muslim countries destroying ISIS, but all the credit for the Iranian "deal." Or in my opinion, all the blame for the deal.

I encourage everyone, Conservative or Liberal to watch and listen carefully to the entire interview.

Our 5th Hypocrite of the Week Award Winner Is...

    

For the first time our award is won by a group instead of a single person. House Democrats, you win this weeks award! House Republicans, don't get to excited, I'm quite confident you will have your opportunity!

As you read the screenshots posted below, it is important to remember a few things from recent history.

1.  Much of the Affordable Care Act was put together with no transparency. In fact the American People were intentionally misled by the Democrats.

March 2010: REP. NANCY PELOSI: But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it away from the fog of the controversy.

Jonathan Gruber:  Gruber explains that the Obama administration passed the so-called “Cadillac tax” on high-value employer health plans “by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people, when we know it’s a tax on people who hold these insurance plans.” Americans would not support a tax on individuals, so “We just tax the insurance companies, they pass on the higher prices . . . it ends up being the same thing.” The ruse, Gruber says, was “a very clever . . . basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter.”

“Barack Obama’s not a stupid man, okay? He knew when he was running for president that quite frankly the American public doesn’t actually care that much about the uninsured. . . . What the American public cares about is costs. And that’s why even though the bill that they made is 90 percent health insurance coverage and 10 percent about cost control, all you ever hear people talk about is cost control.”

In yet another video, Gruber says the Obama administration knew the individual mandate was a tax, but that if Americans knew the truth “the bill dies.” So the bill “was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes.” He adds that “the lack of transparency is a huge political advantage” and that “the stupidity of the American voter . . . was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

Nancy Pelosi on Townhall protests against ACA:  PELOSI: What they want is a continuation of the failed economic policies of President George Bush which got us in the situation we are in now. What we want is a new direction. … This [tea party] initiative is funded by the high end — we call call it astroturf, it’s not really a grassroots movement. It’s astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class.

So let me get this straight Nancy. When it is the Tea Party it is Astroturf, but when it is liberals it isn't funded, or organized? Just Organic Grass Roots? Is that what you are saying? Opps: Caught again Nancy.  https://www.indivisibleguide.com/web#header-summary

Former National Security Advisor to President Ben Rhodes on manipulating the press to get the Iran Deal done. The lies told, back room deals no transparency:

Rhodes has become adept at ventriloquizing many people at once. Ned Price, Rhodes’s assistant, gave me a primer on how it’s done. The easiest way for the White House to shape the news, he explained, is from the briefing podiums, each of which has its own dedicated press corps. “But then there are sort of these force multipliers,” he said, adding, “We have our compadres, I will reach out to a couple people, and you know I wouldn’t want to name them — ”

“I can name them,” I said, ticking off a few names of prominent Washington reporters and columnists who often tweet in sync with White House messaging.

Price laughed. “I’ll say, ‘Hey, look, some people are spinning this narrative that this is a sign of American weakness,’ ” he continued, “but — ”

“In fact it’s a sign of strength!” I said, chuckling.

“And I’ll give them some color,” Price continued, “and the next thing I know, lots of these guys are in the dot-com publishing space, and have huge Twitter followings, and they’ll be putting this message out on their own."

Now that we have had a refresher on the House Democrats lack of Transparency, back room secret deals, and media manipulation. Let's take a look at what they are saying: 

    

For this reason House Democrats you all share in the honor of being this weeks Hypocrite of the Week!

Does The MSM Participate in Fake News and is it a Problem?

   

Sometimes,  like many of you I'm sure, I get tired of hearing about fake news. It does get old, however I believe it is a true issue. I believe it is a legitimate problem. I could, and may at some point in the future, write a long article about my reason for believing this.

Fortunately at this point, I only have to share an article written by a left leaning publication, The New York Times, that proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications under President Obama proved it in an interview with The New York Times. Jonathan Gruber proved it over and over about the Affordable Care Act.

In the New York Times interview, Rhodes shows exactly how he manipulated the MSM, and how they colluded with each other on the Iranian Nuclear Deal. Take the time to read the interview and article yourself. Make up your own mind.
