The four men above are the players who give the daily National Security Briefing to President Obama. (more…)
Day #1 – A limp-wristed commentary from the White House; Stompy then went directly to a DNC fundraiser to kick off “Happy Hour” – Russia moves troops into Crimea, secures airport, takes Ukraine parliamentary building and sends in dozens of helicopters and fighter jets.
Day #2 – Obama skips National Security briefing, Samantha Power delivers U.S. comments at emergency U.N. Security Council Meeting, Susan Rice gives Stompy the cliff notes. – Russia’s Parliament votes to allow full military engagement and moves approximately 50,000 troops into Ukraine.
And now comes the proverbial strongly worded White House letter where Stompy outlines that Putin has broken the rules:
WHITE HOUSE – President Obama spoke for 90 minutes this afternoon with President Putin of Russia about the situation in Ukraine. President Obama expressed his deep concern over Russia’s clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is a breach of international law, including Russia’s obligations under the UN Charter, and of its 1997 military basing agreement with Ukraine, and which is inconsistent with the 1994 Budapest Memorandum and the Helsinki Final Act. The United States condemns Russia’s military intervention into Ukrainian territory. (more…)
CHINA – At least 28 people were killed by knife-wielding attackers in a “violent terrorist attack” at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming, and police shot dead five of the assailants, state media said on Sunday.
Another 113 people were wounded, the official Xinhua news agency said, revising down an earlier higher figure. It said the attack had taken place late on Saturday evening.
“It was an organized, premeditated violent terrorist attack,” Xinhua said.
Police shot dead five of the unidentified attackers and were searching for around five others, it said. (more…)
FLORIDA – A Davie woman spent one night in jail after she used a cellphone to record a Broward Sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop.
The minute Brandy Berning, 33, told Lt. William O’Brien she was recording the conversation they had when he pulled her over for driving in the HOV lane at the wrong time, O’Brien responds on Berning’s audio with: “I have to tell you, you just committed a felony.”
For more than four minutes, the two argue: O’Brien insisting that Berning hand over her phone and that she is under arrest, and Berning insisting that she has done nothing wrong.
Today is the second anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s death. The shock felt throughout the conservative blogosphere two years ago was profound. Breitbart operated effectively within a combat zone few can survive.
The most amazing aspect to Andrew Breitbart was his simplicity in confronting some of the most outrageous and hateful. He was simply, and brilliantly, an original.

We can’t let this little far-left hypocrisy escape attention.
Ideological far-left Democrats are the most racist of all self-identified political types.
In 2012 Spike Lee tweeted out what he thought was the address of George Zimmerman.
The message within his objective was to harass and threaten the life of George Zimmerman around the premise the shooting of Trayvon Martin was racially motivated.
The address was wrong, and an elderly couple was terrorized by far-left “Occupy Wall Street” types and their Black Grievance counterparts. Fearing for their lives the family was forced to move out. Spike Lee settled a lawsuit and gave the victimized family money to compensate for the terror he created.
Recently Spike Lee stepped into the controversial race mix yet again only this time he demanded that white New Yorkers move out of black neighborhoods.
Moments ago Russia’s Parliament voted unanimously to authorize President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine. Most international observers agree the Russian military has been present throughout Crimea (Ukraine Territory) since yesterday.
Significantly, Russia’s parliament has been rushing through laws to make it easier to absorb new territories into its state, sparking suspicions Crimea and possibly other regions of Ukraine – all former parts of the old Soviet empire – could be re-incorporated by president Vladimir Putin. (link)
UPDATE: As if on cue: President Obama skips another national security briefing again TODAY…
EARLIER: When you elect an inexperienced, and profoundly ideological leader like Barack Obama based on a principle ruse of cultural popularity you eventually discover that “Hope and Chage” really means “Hoax and Chains”. Fundamental chains.
President Obama is no more capable of leading international crisis than Milli Vanilli to sing acapella. The former needing a teleprompter the latter needing to lip-sync. (more…)
“Don’t expect anything good for America until this guy is gone …….”
h/t to Doug Ross aka Director Blue
Doug Ross @ Journal has published a first hand account of a conversation a docent at the Bush Center Library had with former Senator Alan Simpson (R), co-author of the Simpson-Bowles commission report recommending fiscal reform legislation, on the outspoken former Senator’s impressions based on first-hand dealings with Barack Hussein Obama.
“….I spent the next 15 minutes (just the two of us) listening to him expound on his view of our future. His first answer was that with this president we will never make progress. He then related a story that when Bowles and Simpson requested time with the president to urge him to seriously consider their report, he was stunned by the response (as was Bowles).
