Holy Crap I'm Agreeing With The Boston Globe Editorial On JFK Assassination Documents

                                               Editorial


            Holy Crap I'm agreeing with the Boston Globe on an issue. Whats the world coming too.
  Well before we all go crazy the subject we agree upon is the FULL RELEASE of all the files in referenced to the Assassination of President John F.Kennedy.
         Tile of the Boston Globe editorial "

On JFK archives, let the sun shine in

  It begins "On Thursday, a promissory note from a turbulent moment in the nation’s history comes due: That’s the deadline for releasing the remaining classified documents about the investigation of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, in 1963.

All documents, photos, movies, sound recordings and artifacts related to Kennedy’s murder in Dallas are housed in a 5-million-page collection in the National Archives and Records Administration. Although NARA has released documents before, a law passed by Congress in 1992 mandated that everything be made public by Oct. 26. Only the US president has the authority to stop the release, on national security grounds.

 We need to have all the records released to know the truth if not the Government has more to hide from us.

We demand the truth but corrupt Government agencies like the CIA and the FBI get in the way or they don't want their responsibility for the assassination to be uncovered.

 It goes on "Last weekend, President Trump tweeted that he won’t block the release, “subject to the receipt of further information.” Although intelligence agencies have reportedly pressured for some documents to remain classified, Trump has the right instinct. He should resist the pressure and open the files, perhaps with minor redactions to protect individuals still alive.The documents unsealed thus far have helped fill in gaps that were created in the record because the CIA and FBI withheld information from the Warren Commission, which probed the killing in 1963-64. The commission concluded that an underemployed drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, but a Grassy Knoll Industrial Complex rages on to this day, powering a groaning shelf of books pushing conspiracy theories about the CIA, Cuba, the Mob, and President Johnson. In fact, the 1992 law itself was an effort by Congress to counteract public suspicions about a government assassination cover-up, spurred by Oliver Stone’s fictional movie “JFK.”

But even some Warren Commission investigators, in their elder years, came to believe that the 888-page final report left out evidence that would make the CIA and FBI look bad. Retired law professor David Slawson, a government investigator for the commission, wrote that the CIA knew important details about Oswald’s mysterious trip to Mexico City weeks before the assassination, and could have intervened, according to Politico.Other conspiracy theories are more outlandish, including Trump’s attempt during the 2016 campaign to link Ted Cruz’s father to Oswald. (Politifact gave that ridiculous claim a “Pants on Fire” rating.) Ted Cruz can probably rest easy, however. Assassination scholars don’t expect a thunderclap of revelation in this last tranche of documents. That won’t stop scores of breathless armchair analysts from looking, of course: Sixty percent of Americans believe in some form of conspiracy surrounding the assassination, Joseph Uscinski, a political science professor at the University of Miami, told The Atlantic. And expect a new round of speculation about the imagined role of the deep state from conspiracy theorists like Roger Stone, who is pushing Trump to allow the release.But a push for transparency — even from Stone — serves the long arc of history and helps us understand and encode our own future. Trump should allow the last papers to be released, in as full a form as possible.

 Just for the record we all know the so called Warren Commission was a bureaucratic way to cover up the Government's involvement in the murder of JFK.

The Ditz All Wrong On The President

Oped Columnist

  Today I decided to see what Maureen "The Ditz" Dowd was up to in her latest leftist crap.
To no surprise still up to no good attacking President Trump. Her piece of shit entitled "Trump Stomps Planet Earth."
 It begins "WASHINGTON — We’ve been conditioned by Hollywood to see the president of the United States step up to the lectern to confidently tell us how he will combat the existential threat to the planet — be it aliens, asteroids, tidal waves, volcanoes, killer sharks, killer robots or a 500-billion-ton comet the size of New York City.

So it was quite stunning to see the president of the United States step up to the lectern to declare himself the existential threat to the planet.

And with a calming band playing us to our doom, just like on the Titanic.

You know you’re in trouble when beclouded Beijing, where birds go to die, replaces you as a leader on climate change.

America is living through a fractured fairy tale, in the grip of a lonely and uninformed mad king, an arrogant and naïve princeling, a comely but complicit blond princess and a dyspeptic, dystopian troll under the bridge.

American carnage, indeed.

On climate change, the troll, Steve Bannon, got control and persuaded Donald Trump to give a raspberry to the world. Bannon had better watch out or rising waters will wash out his bridge to the past.

Even though Jared, Ivanka, Gary Cohn, Rex Tillerson, Elon Musk, Bob Iger and Lloyd Blankfein pressed the president to stay in the Paris climate accord — which is merely aspirational about the inhalational — Bannon won the day because Trump loves to act like the fired Mr. Met.

As his biographer Tim O’Brien recalled on ABC’s “This Week,” Trump once pointed out a dozen six-foot-high speakers by the pool at Mar-a-Lago blasting classic rock and said: “You know, when I moved here to Palm Beach, nobody wanted me around. And I love cranking this music as loud as I can because it bugs the heck out of all of these so-and-sos and I love it.”

It is a familiar pattern. “He wanted to get out of Queens to come to Manhattan,” O’Brien said. “He wanted to be accepted by the real estate class in Manhattan, but then he thumbed his nose at them.” He wanted to run for president as a Republican and get the G.O.P. establishment’s approval, but then he thumbed his nose at it.

  I for one am glad the USA is out of the bullshit Paris accords.No ditz that is the GOP establishment.

 It goes on "The same with The New York Times, seeking favor and then dubbing us “failing.” And now it’s the turn of our aghast European allies.

The more he is labeled a boor and a brute by his critics at home and abroad, the more Trump digs in, trying to drag America back to a time when black smoke belched, women scrambled for birth control, sick people were out of luck, reefer madness reigned and Cuba was shunned.

In the year 2017, the American president is leading us into a bold new future, saying he can’t wait to party hardy at “a big opening of a brand new mine.”

Trump was goaded in the direction of dropping out of the Paris accord by a couple things that irritated him.

As Mark Landler and Michael Shear reported in The Times, Cohn, the president’s chief economic adviser, had told reporters in Sicily that Mr. Trump might be coming around. “His views are evolving” on climate change, Cohn said. “He came here to learn. He came here to get smarter.”

That smarted and made Trump want to blast classic rock.

Then the president read an interview with Emmanuel Macron in a French newspaper, bragging about how he had prepared to give Trump an Iron Man grip because it was “a moment of truth” showing that he “won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones.”

Comparing Trump to strongmen Vladimir Putin and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Macron made it clear that he was determined to face down the bully, pushing back hard on Trump, just as he would a few days later with Putin. He scolded the Russian president for his state-controlled media’s “lying propaganda” and warned that France would use military force if Putin’s ally Bashar al-Assad unleashed chemical weapons on civilians again.

  Climate change aka Global warming is a HUGE BULLSHIT HOAX.

 It ends "As Ashley Parker, Phil Rucker and Michael Birnbaum reported in The Washington Post Thursday: “Hearing smack-talk from the Frenchman 31 years his junior irritated and bewildered Trump, aides said. A few days later, Trump got his revenge. He proclaimed from the Rose Garden, ‘I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.’”

Whether Macron is being coached by his wife, whom he met when she was his drama teacher in high school, is not clear. But he understands the signs and symbols of power.

Trump is the president with a background in entertainment, but the 39-year-old French president is the one who has mastered theatrics, from the splendor of “Ode to Joy” playing at the Louvre on election night as he made his slow victory walk, to his steely six seconds of arm wrestling with Trump, to his dramatic swerve to embrace Angela Merkel, leaving Trump nonplused and waiting to shake his hand, to his dressing down of Trump’s pal Putin at Versailles, to his televised exhortation aux barricades on Thursday in English: “Make our planet great again.”

As The Times’s Adam Nossiter wrote, Macron has a “deeply held belief that France in some sense has been missing its king since the execution of Louis XVI on Jan. 21, 1793.” And he has consciously cultivated a regal air as he champions “radical centrism,” globalization and protecting the environment. The Post dubs him “the prince regent of Paris and Pittsburgh alike.”

Trump, on the other hand, has rattled the world with his crude manner, cruel policies, chaotic management style, authoritarian love-ins and antediluvian attitudes, cementing his image as the highchair king.

For once, the French have a right to be condescending toward the United States.

 First what I highlighted in red umm NYT Pennsylvania put the President over the top in the 2016 election and Pittsburgh where I currently live is in Pennsylvania.

And no the Frogs in France never have any right to be condescending toward us the USA.

NYT Defenders Of Liberal Leftist HUGE Government

Editorial

  As the title of my blog post this morning clearly states from this New York Times editorial that I am about to expound upon shows their dark side on the issue of Government and their expansion thereof.
 The title of their crap is "Defenders of the Faith in Government."
 It begins in attack mode as always "Wilbur Ross, the secretary of commerce and a wealthy private businessman, was asked for his first impressions of government service. “I thought the quality of people in the government was not as high as it has turned out to be,” he said. “There are actually quite a lot of very good, very serious, very intelligent people wanting to do their best.”

He should tell his boss.

President Trump, ensconced in his scandal-plagued White House, hasn’t paid much attention to the two million federal employees who report to him, unless he’s cutting their numbers, slashing their budgets or wondering on television, “What do all these people do?”

Mr. Trump has barely set foot inside a federal agency since his appalling trip to the Central Intelligence Agency on Jan. 21, when he stood before a wall carved with the names of officers killed on duty, fabulizing about his inauguration crowds. He also visited the Department of Homeland Security in January. This month, after he fired James Comey, the F.B.I. director, the president scrapped a conciliatory visit to F.B.I. headquarters after learning that he would not be welcome. Mr. Trump has spent more time with members of Mar-a-Lago than with members of the federal work force."

  Scandal plagued White House umm I don't think so NYT.

 It goes on the BS rant "That would be people like Phillip Brooks, Byron Bunker, Joshua Van Eaton and their team from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Justice Department, who doggedly investigated Volkswagen’s scheme to evade federal emissions standards and won a record $17.4 billion settlement for car owners and environmental cleanup projects. Or Timothy Camus and the Internal Revenue Service impersonation scam team, a group of Treasury, I.R.S. and other agency workers who unearthed and alerted Americans to a scam that had conned unknowing taxpayers out of millions.

NASA’s Lisa Mazzuca developed a generation of aircraft distress beacons that are better able to withstand crash damage and help rescuers locate victims faster. At the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Vincent Tang and his team developed a low-cost mobile system that allows cities to detect even tiny traces of nuclear materials, to thwart potential terrorist attacks. Justin Sanchez oversaw two projects at Darpa: prosthetic arms that enable amputees to pick up tiny, fragile objects, and an effort to help soldiers with traumatic brain injuries form new memories.

This month, three cabinet secretaries — Steven Mnuchin from Treasury, Dr. David Shulkin from Veterans Affairs and Ben Carson from Housing and Urban Development — joined corporate executives, lawmakers and colleagues in honoring these public servants and some 20 others. They’re finalists for the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals, presented by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan advocate for effective federal government. The awards are meant to inspire talented people to enter government at a time when that couldn’t be a harder sell."

Mr. Mnuchin declared himself “humbled to see the talent in this room.” Mr. Carson said that even though he’d heard government employees “didn’t work very hard,” he’d discovered that they are “extremely dedicated.” Dr. Shulkin said the finalists “inspire us to be proud to feel a part of the work force, and they make others want to join us.”

Many of its best minds say federal government work, for all its aggravations, can bring vast material and intellectual resources to bear on problems and discoveries that contribute to our national progress and uphold our democracy. A generation of civil servants inspired by John F. Kennedy’s call to ask what they could do for their country found the answer at a federal agency. As they retire, recruitment is hobbled by a hiring freeze and a president so solipsistic he can’t understand, let alone celebrate, public service.

The Partnership for Public Service produces the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government guide based on an annual federal employee survey. The 2016 data reveal that federal employees say they get less respect, fewer incentives and less recognition for superior work than do their private sector counterparts. Shockingly, more than 40 percent say they can’t disclose violations of law or ethics without reprisals by supervisors. And that was before Mr. Trump came on board and started hunting for leakers.

 Obviously the NYT doesn't understand what it means to cut the Pork dumbasses.

 It finally ends "Committed, talented public servants can foil this president’s abuses of democracy. Americans wonder why anyone would join such a government. Better to ask how to encourage the best to stay, and persuade a new generation that there’s never been a more important time to sign up.

  Government employees especially for example the Department of State is just a huge hangout for the left it has been for years and years now.

 

NYT Can They Really Be This Dumb

Editorial

  This mornings lead editorial in the New York Times proves beyond the shadow of any doubt that their editorial board are dumber than a pile of rocks.
  The title "President Trump Tries to Engage the Muslim World" blows my mind at how stupid they are.
 It begins "No American president in modern times has disparaged Islam as much as Donald Trump. From the attempted visa ban on Muslim-majority countries to his campaign claims that “Islam hates us” to his Islamaphobic advisers, the president’s record of hostility is well documented.

So his first overseas trip as president is something of a paradox, with a first stop in Saudi Arabia — a major force in the Sunni Arab world —- that includes meetings with members of the royal family, a summit meeting with other Arab leaders and a major speech on Sunday."

  Umm hello NYT the ban was for Muslim TERRORISTS and the countries they come from you dumb asses.

 It goes on "Does that mean Mr. Trump has changed his stripes? Given his casual approach to the truth and his malleable belief system, it’s impossible to know his true views on Islam. What we do know is that he needs all the help he can get from Muslim countries to fight the Islamic State. If he uses the speech and the trip to set a new tone with the Muslim world, that would be greatly in America’s interest.

The Saudis, who came to loathe President Barack Obama, are falling over themselves to turn the page. Mr. Trump’s decision to visit Saudi Arabia “lays to rest the notion that America is anti-Muslim,” the Saudi foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, told reporters early this month, ignoring the fact that the real issue is not whether America is anti-Muslim but whether Mr. Trump is. It was he, after all, who stoked xenophobic fires to win the election."

  Change stripes look in the mirror NYT you need some serious strip changing you fucking morons.

Casual approach to the truth NYT you are the leaders of the leftist FAKE NEWS you wouldn't lnow the truth if it bit you in your dumb asses.

 More bullshit lies "Mr. Obama worked hard to cultivate the Saudi-American relationship, selling the kingdom $115 billion in arms, providing support in the Saudi war against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, pushing Israeli-Palestian peace negotiations and making Riyadh his first stop in the Arab world.But the Saudis never forgave him for endorsing the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt; for refusing to intervene directly in Syria against President Bashar al-Assad; and for negotiating the nuclear deal with Iran, its Shiite enemy, even though the deal made the region safer.The Saudis and Mr. Trump appear eager to do business and to forge an alliance against Iran. Saudi Arabia has committed to shifting its economy from its dependence on oil and wants American investment to speed that process, while Mr. Trump’s decision to sell the kingdom an additional $110 billion in weapons provides more business for American companies. This is excessive; in exchange, the Saudis should be asked to make a more serious commitment to regional peace, including a political settlement in Yemen."

  How about some facts NYT I hear crickets chirping.

 It ends "Along with other Sunni Arab countries, Saudi Arabia is obsessed with Iran, which is unquestionably playing a troubling and mischievous role in Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, and the Saudis are pleased with Mr. Trump’s anti-Iran line. But focusing only on Iran ignores the destabilizing activities of Saudi Arabia in Yemen, where Saudi bombs have killed untold numbers of civilians. It also ignores the fact that Saudi Arabia’s conservative brand of Islam has done much to inspire ISIS and other extremists.

Mr. Obama tried to forge a more neutral path, engaging Iran on the nuclear deal and admonishing the Saudis to find a way to live with Iran. There is speculation that the Sunni Arabs and Israel might cooperate in a regional security arrangement. This could be constructive, but not if its only purpose is to ostracize Iran.

With Mr. Trump embattled at home, there’s a real danger that in his eagerness for a successful visit he will agree to almost anything his hosts desire, like more American involvement in proxy wars against Iran in Yemen and Syria. Also, he has shown little interest in human rights and in pressing authoritarian countries to treat their people — especially women, in Saudi Arabia’s case — with respect.

This trip is Mr. Trump’s first chance to act as a global statesman. He will define that role not by accommodating Arab demands but by pursuing a strategy that advances America’s security interests as well as those of its partners.

   NYT keep on dreaming you bullshit Communists

NYT Bonkers Over French Presidential Election Results

Editorial

  Well the results are in from the Presidential election in France and the New York Times is all hot and horny over the results. The title of their lead editorial "France Elects Emmanuel Macron" nuts over the results.
 The horniness begins "The decisive election of Emmanuel Macron, a 39-year-old political neophyte committed to the European Union, economic reform and traditional liberalism, as president of France offered powerful relief to everyone who had feared that France could become the next country to succumb to the wave of populism, nationalism and anti-globalism sweeping through Western democracies.

A mysterious, 11th-hour email hack of the Macron campaign appears to have made little or no difference to the eventual outcome. With projections showing Mr. Macron with more than 65 percent of the vote to 35 percent for the far-right, nationalist Marine Le Pen, his was a victory of hope and optimism over fear and reaction; of a future in Europe rather than in resentful isolation.The victory was remarkable in many ways. When he enters the Élysée Palace to start his five-year term next weekend, Mr. Macron will be the youngest president in French republican history. He will be the first president in decades not to come from one of the traditional parties of the left or right; he formed his own centrist political party, En Marche! (loosely translated as “Forward!”) barely a year ago. A student of philosophy, accomplished pianist, former investment banker and most recently minister of economy under President François Hollande, he had never before run for office.

 The main reason why the NYT was happy in green type above traditional liberalism and committed to the European Union. In red of course the NYT couldn't resist the far right attack on Marine Le Pen.

 It goes on "But dramatic and impressive as his victory is, Mr. Macron faces formidable challenges. He is taking charge of a nation deeply divided, much like the United States, Britain and other major democracies, with many people feeling marginalized by globalization, economic stagnation, an unresponsive government, unemployment, faceless terrorism and a tide of immigrants.That a far-right nationalist like Ms. Le Pen could reach the second round of voting over the established parties, and then collect more than a third of the vote, was stark evidence of the despair of what she calls “les oubliés,” “the forgotten.”

In a victory address before a vast throng of cheering supporters in the courtyard of the Louvre, Mr. Macron acknowledged the divisions in French society and repeatedly invoked the “immense task” that lies ahead. That begins immediately: Achieving any of his goals, which include reforming the stultifying French labor code, a perennial frustration for businesses, and cutting the bloated ranks of public employees, will require another political feat next month when France votes for a new National Assembly. Mr. Macron’s fledgling party plans to run candidates in all districts.

All that lies ahead. For now, there is the satisfaction that despite the breakdown of traditional parties, despite considerable malaise in the French and European publics, and despite the email hack (causing fingers to be pointed at a familiar target, Moscow) French voters were not seduced by nativist illusions and instead chose a youthful and optimistic president who believes that France must remain open, progressive, tolerant and European.

  The New York Times will never ever get it the DUMB ASSES that they are.

 

 

NYT Teeing Off On Trump Apointee To SCOTUS Neil Gorsuch

Editorial

  It has been a few months since my last post been busy taking in all what our new President has Done. I'm quite happy with the results thus far the health care was some what controversial but that will change.
 But now to todays post. "Neil Gorsuch and the State’s Power to Kill" is the title of the New York Times editorial this morning.
 It begins "It’s not entirely fair to judge a Supreme Court justice based on his first vote. Urgent matters arise unexpectedly, and the court must sometimes act quickly.

Still, it’s worth paying special attention to Justice Neil Gorsuch’s vote late Thursday night to deny a stay of execution for Ledell Lee, an Arkansas man who was sentenced to death in 1995 for murdering a woman named Debra Reese with a tire thumper.

After Justice Gorsuch, along with the four other conservative justices, denied his final appeal without explanation, Mr. Lee, who maintained his innocence until the end, was executed by lethal injection.

He was pronounced dead at 11:56 p.m. Central Daylight Time, minutes before his death warrant expired. Arkansas had not executed anyone since 2005.

In short, the first significant decision by Justice Gorsuch, who was sworn in to office less than two weeks ago, was the most consequential any justice can make — to approve a man’s killing by the state. Hello NYT its not killing by the state its called JUSTICE dumbasses

 They are already attacking Trump appointee to the SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch.

  It goes on ranting "That man, like so many others condemned to die around the country, was a walking catalog of reasons the American death penalty is a travesty. Evidence that Mr. Lee was intellectually disabled and suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome was never introduced into court, mainly because he had egregiously bad representation. One of his lawyers was so drunk in court that a federal judge reviewing the case later said he could tell simply by reading the transcripts.In addition to raising these issues in his appeals to the justices, Mr. Lee challenged Arkansas’s lethal-injection drug protocol, which incorporates a sedative, midazolam, that has been implicated in multiple botched executions. For both moral and business reasons, drug makers have banned the use of their products for state-sanctioned killing, making it harder for states to get their hands on them. In fact, Arkansas initially scheduled Mr. Lee’s execution as part of an unprecedented killing spree — eight inmates over the course of 11 days — because the state’s old batch of midazolam was about to expire. (As of Friday afternoon, four of those executions had been placed on hold by the courts, for various reasons.)"

"This rush to kill based solely on a “use-by” date is “close to random,” Justice Stephen Breyer wrote on Thursday in dissenting from the court’s refusal to stay Mr. Lee’s execution. The three more liberal justices agreed that the stay should have been granted, as they regularly do in such cases, just as the conservative justices regularly vote the other way.

That 4-to-4 split effectively gave the deciding vote over Mr. Lee’s life to Justice Gorsuch, sitting in a seat that by all rights should be occupied not by him but by President Barack Obama’s doomed nominee, Merrick Garland.

During his confirmation hearings, Justice Gorsuch talked a lot about his respect for the rule of law, and the importance of sticking to the plain text of the Constitution and of statutes. But he didn’t have to rewrite the Eighth Amendment to see, as Justice Breyer did, that Mr. Lee’s case exemplified “how the arbitrary nature of the death penalty system, as presently administered, runs contrary to the very purpose of a ‘rule of law.’ ”

Neil Gorsuch held the power of life and death in his hands Thursday night. His choice led to Ledell Lee’s execution, and gave the nation an early, and troubling, look into the mind-set of the high court’s newest member."

 Rush to kill again its called JUSTICE
