Valerie Jarrett does not rule out a run for Office

So our puppet master Valerie Jarrett won’t rule out a run for the Office. Now this would be a feast for bloggers. Her background is so rich. I dare Iranian born Val to have a go for it. What an arrogant little twerp. But then again, she would fit right in Congress.

Valerie Jarrett Won’t Rule Out Running for Office; Won’t Endorse Hillary

 

Via Weekly Standard:

“I want to talk to you about the future,” said the NBC reporter interviewing Jarrett. “Is Michelle Obama going to run for office?”

“No,” Jarrett said resolutely.

“You said that very definitively,” the reporter countered.

“Well, I’m absolutely, 100 percent positive that will never happen,” Jarrett proclaimed.

The reporter prodded, “How about Valerie Jarrett? Will you ever run for office?”

“Unlikely,” Obama’s adviser said, leaving the door slightly open.

“But maybe?”

“Not as definitive as the first lady, but highly unlikely,” said Jarrett.

When the NBC reporter tried to see whether she or the first lady were supporting Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, Jarrett said, “well, since she hasn’t even announced her candidacy, I think it’s premature much.”

From the one of many posts done on our gal:

Valerie Jarrett: ‘Scandals – What scandals, things happen’ June 3, 2013 — bunkerville

 

Valerie Jarretts Father-in-Law Vernon Jarrett Head of Communist Youth– well worth the full read:

It turns out that around this time, Vernon Jarrett was a leader of the Chicago chapter of American Youth for Democracy – the youth wing of the Communist Party.

Chicago communist journalist Frank Marshall Davis was a national sponsor of American Youth for Democracy, as well as being a Progressive Party supporter.

Both Davis and Jarrett worked on the radical Chicago Defender newspaper and in 1948, both served on the publicity committee of the Citizens’ Committee to Aid Packing-House Workers

Here is a swell story about her Housing Projects, you can bet she is/will be running the IRS: (Was I psychic or not?)

Valerie Jarrett: “Jarrett [managed] a controversial low-income housing project located in Obama’s former state senate district… [the] complex was considered ‘uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage… In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale — a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.’ …According to documents uncovered by Judicial Watch, Jarrett is also linked to a series of other shady real estate scandals involving convicted felon and former Obama fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko…”

Jarrett was also named in a 2008 Boston Globereport on Grove Parc, an immense housing complex largely funded by taxpayers and managed by her company. After burning through millions in public funds, Jarrett’s management skills resulted in a complex that was largely “uninhabitable.”

Earlier this year The Boston Globe reported on the stunning failures of Jarrett’s companies. “Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this [past] winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.”

Valerie Jarrett, a product of Chicago’s Daley machine, couldn’t manage a housing complex with millions in taxpayer funds. But I’m sure she could manage, say, an overhaul of the $3 trillion health care industry. What could possibly go wrong? Ah shucks! And all those contracts???

Then there is always: Oh, Valerie, you are up to your eyeballs in this one. Jarrett-Van Jones- Obama-Acorn and a Chicago Bank/

In 2006, before his Presidential race, then-Sen. Barack Obama visited his father’s homeland of Kenya, and around the same times Shore Bank donated $1 million to that country to assist in micro-loan programs there. At the time, Obama officials said it was a coincidence that Shore Bank made the contribution to Kenya. Why I am just laughing myself silly!

Senior White House aide Valerie Jarrett appears to be the central figure in the Financial Services’ interest, according to Republican staffers with ties to the committee

Hillary Clinton and her Bosnia Faux memory recall – what difference does it make?

A memory of a lack of memory of Hillary. But then again, what difference does it make? Looking back at this report by Sharyl Attkisson,a portent of things to come. For Sharyl as well. Still waiting for the Benghazi apology.

Uploaded on Mar 24, 2008
CBS news exposes the real story of Hillary Clinton and her 1996 trip to Bosnia.

Sound familiar? We are waiting for a Benghazi apology as well

Hillary Clinton at her WORST! Obnoxious Apology WOW

Uh, OK. YOU CAUGHT ME IN A LIE… however, given that I have been trained in the Bill Clinton School for Compulsive Liars, I have now learned NEVER TO ADMIT TO A MISTAKE, always ANGLE things. Find a Nuance that makes it SOUND like you are sorry, then take two steps back from it and LET ‘ER RIP!!!!

Tall tales from Hildebeast:

On a couple of occasions in the last weeks, I just said some things that weren‘t in keeping with what I knew to be the case and what I had written about in my book. And you know, I‘m embarrassed by it. I‘m very sorry I said it. I have said that, you know, it just didn‘t jive with what I had written about and knew to be the truth.
after Bill Clinton claimed Hillary apologized for lying about her trip to Bosnia

December 29, 2007, regarding her 1996 trip to Bosnia. [19]

I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke.
You know, I have written about this and described it in many different settings, and I did misspeak the other day. This has been a very long campaign.
March 24 & 25, 2008, retracting her remarks regarding Bosnia in private interviews. [23]

I can tell you that I may be a lot of things but I am not dumb. And I wrote about going to Bosnia in my book in 2004, I laid it all out there. And you’re right, on a couple of occasions in the last weeks I just said some things that weren’t in keeping with what I knew to be the case and what I had written about in my book. And you know, I‘m embarrassed by it. I‘m very sorry I said it. I have said that, you know, it just didn‘t jive with what I had written about and knew to be the truth. So I know that it is something that some people have said, “Wait a minute. What happened here?” But I have talked about this and written about it and then, unfortunately, in a few occasions I was not as accurate as I have been in the past.

Having any thoughts on Mitt Romney yet? He foretold the events in Iraq

The more I hear from Mitt, the more sensible he sounds as a potential candidate in 2016. The clips below say all we need to know about Obama, and gives us a good look at an observer of the world by Mitt. It took Ron Reagan a couple of tries. Maybe time for an adult in the White House? What say you?

Mitt Romney warned that if the U.S. completely withdrew from Iraq, it would crumble and for that Barack Obama called him a foreign policy novice. Islamic militants have thrown Iraq into a tailspin and the country is on the verge of an all-out civil war. So, we have to ask, who’s the foreign policy novice now? Romney was right. Obama was wrong…again.

 

“A few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia…the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

Obama spoke as well that Romney wanted to go back to the 1950’s economic policies.

Yes, I would like go back to the economic policies of the 1950’s. Thank you very much.

IRS admits guilt, settles with conservative group for $50,000 for revealing names

Opportunity missed big time. So the IRS settles without going to court for a measly $50,000? Had the organization gone to court, discovery would have revealed names, names names. That is what we want. And we want the names to go to jail. The National Organization for marriage did an epic fail.  NOM feels relief? After your donor list was revealed???? How about the damage to your donors?

Washington Free Beacon:

The IRS has agreed to pay $50,000 in damages to the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) for unlawfully releasing its private information to a gay rights group that is a political rival, the Daily Signal has learned.

NOM expressed relief at the settlement agreement.

“Congress made the disclosure of confidential tax return information a serious matter for a reason,” NOM chairman John D. Eastman told The Daily Signal. “We’re delighted that the IRS has now been held accountable for the illegal disclosure of our list of major donors from our tax return.”

 

In February 2012, the Human Rights Campaign posted on its web site NOM’s 2008 tax return and the names and contact information of the marriage group’s major donors, including soon-to-be Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. That information then was published by the Huffington Post and other liberal-leaning news sites.

 

HRC’s president at the time, Joe Solmonese, was tapped that same month as a national co-chairman of President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign.

 

Eastman said an investigation in the civil lawsuit determined that someone gave NOM’s tax return and list of major donors to Boston-based gay rights activist Matthew Meisel. Email correspondence from Meisel revealed that he told a colleague of “a conduit” to obtain the marriage group’s confidential information.

ISIS in Iraq Occupy Hussein’s Chemical Weapons Facility – anyone concerned?

This story has been puzzling me for about a week. Alas, apparently I am one of a handful that has given any thought to this. We all know the drill. No “Weapons of Mass Destruction” were found which caused Bush , Cheney, et al to bear the burden of “The Bad War.” Iraq. We do know that Sadam blasted the Kurds with WMD’s with the estimated deaths of over 50,000. So then Iraq did have a Chemical factory? So page forward. No weapons were found, but oh shucks, we have a few bunkers with “unstable” chemical weapons that we are assured are just too dangerous to handle. So not to worry. All is well in the parallel universe. Earth to fellow humans: Am I the only one questioning this whole story line? Must be that darn tin foil.

Washington (WSJ)WSJ— Sunni extremists in Iraq have occupied what was once Saddam Hussein’s premier chemical-weapons production facility, a complex that still contains a stockpile of old weapons, State Department and other U.S. government officials said.

U.S. officials don’t believe the Sunni militants will be able to create a functional chemical weapon from the material. The weapons stockpiled at the Al Muthanna complex are old, contaminated and hard to move, officials said.

Nonetheless, the capture of the chemical-weapon stockpile by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, known as ISIS or ISIL, the militant group that is seizing territory in the country, has grabbed the attention of the U.S.

“We remain concerned about the seizure of any military site by the ISIL,” Jen Psaki, the State Department spokeswoman, said in a written statement. “We do not believe that the complex contains CW materials of military value and it would be very difficult, if not impossible to safely move the materials.”

The takeover underscores the chaos gripping Iraq and the prospect that the growing Sunni rebellion could further destabilize the Middle East. Not lost on U.S. government and military officials is the irony that the latest chapter in a war designed to strip Iraq of chemical weapons could see radical Sunni extremists take control of that same stockpile.

Military officials said the U.S. was well aware of the Muthanna stockpile and wouldn’t have left it there if it posed a military threat. Still, when the U.S. pulled out of Iraq, it didn’t anticipate a large swath of the country, including numerous military bases, would be overrun by radical Sunni militants. One defense official said that if the U.S. had known the Iraqi government would lose control so soon, it might not have left the old chemical weapons in place.

 

The rise of ISIS has reignited the debate about the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the Bush administration and the 2011 decision by the Obama administration to withdraw remaining military forces from the country. The takeover of a chemical weapons stockpile-even if the weapons are useless-seems likely to further intensify those debates.

Nonetheless, the capture of the chemical-weapon stockpile by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, known as ISIS or ISIL, the militant group that is seizing territory in the country, has grabbed the attention of the U.S. ED( Sorry, not a whole lot)

I’m sure that people who regularly blow themselves up and have their own divine deaths drilled into their heads since birth are worried about moving some dangerous chemicals to a point where they can be deadly and take out some infidels along with some Shi’ites.

Here is a bit of history, believe what you think reasonable.

DHS buying 6X underwear for fat illegal aliens thanks to U.S. taxpayers

We have had to endure one of the most absurd weeks regarding American politics. I believe this one says it all. Obama is shipping illegal gang banger kids from South of the border into our neighborhoods without so much as telling the Governors of the States involved.  At least we can feel great that when they strut their stuff with their pants hanging around the low-end of their butt, we will have paid for their underwear. Anyone want to bet they weren’t made in the good old USA? On second thought, just who are these size 6 Xeres? How did they get over the so-called “dang fence” to coin a word from McCain.

Your tax dollars, hard at work.

Obama: ‘I didn’t want to leave troops in Iraq but it’s their fault I didn’t

Liar, liar pants on fire. A few clips just for the memory.

This should hold us for the weekend! Make it a good one.

Obama, Romney Clash Over Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq

Now today.

Obama: It Wasn’t My Decision to Pull Troops Out of Iraq . The first couple of seconds are all it takes,

Good ole Joe

“I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You’re going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You’re going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government,” said Biden.

“I spent — I’ve been there 17 times now. I go about every two months — three months. I know every one of the major players in all of the segments of that society. It’s impressed me. I’ve been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”

 

 

Government in JANUARY advertised for escorts for 65,000 illegal kids

How did the government know that 65,000 childrem were on their way to the United States? This was in January?? Do take the time to read the link to the whole story at the end of post.

Government Advertised In JANUARY For “Escorts” For 65,000 Illegal Alien Children To Be “Resettled”

The very language confirms the Obama regime 1) knew with specificity a huge influx was on the way and 2) they intended them to stay.

There is a lot of specificity reflected in this document that seeks to deal with an influx that hadn’t as yet happened. How could they know 65,000, even breaking down the percentages that would be covered by ground, charter and air transportation?

“Transport will be required for either category of UAC or individual juveniles, to include both male and female juveniles. There will be approximately 65,000 UAC in total: 25% local ground transport, 25% via ICE charter and 50% via commercial air. Escort services include, but are not limited to, assisting with: transferring physical custody of UAC from DHS to Health and Human Services (HHS) care via ground or air methods of transportation (charter or commercial carrier),”

Meanwhile, Boehner calls for the National Guard. Fat Chance:

“If Boehner doesn’t demand more security now, whatever shred of faith is left on the right that he’ll fight for security as part of a comprehensive deal will disintegrate”So, here we go.

From his letter to the president:

The safety of these migrant children is a matter of paramount importance. It is our duty and obligation to enforce the laws of our country while protecting the most vulnerable and ensuring they are healthy and well protected. In that vein, your administration should immediately deploy the National Guard to our southern border. The National Guard is uniquely qualified to respond to such humanitarian crises. They are able to help deal with both the needs of these children and families as well as relieve the border patrol to focus on their primary duty of securing our border.

Obama re: Iraq- tells leadership: ‘I don’t need your stinking approval’

Just a photo-op at the WH for our Commander in thief. I wonder if Boehner questioned Obama on his perspective. This from no less than CNN. The truth of the matter, “Clueless” is remaining clueless. So much for equal branches of government. Congress gets the finger once again.

Washington (CNN) — I’ll let you know what’s going on, but I don’t need new congressional authority to act, President Barack Obama told congressional leaders Wednesday about his upcoming decision on possible military intervention in Iraq.
The White House meeting sounded more like a listening session for the top Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate about options for helping Iraq’s embattled Shiite government halt the lightning advance of Sunni Islamist fighters toward Baghdad that Obama is considering.

Obama “did not give us an array of actions he was planning to take,” Pelosi said. “He just talked about his perspective on what was happening there.”
A few hours earlier, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said they were working out details on possible U.S. steps that could include airstrikes on Sunni militants advancing through northern Iraq.
