Really bad day for Democrats yesterday; exposed, outmaneuvered and shown-up in several very important instances.

Elana Schor on politico.com, headlined her article: “Republicans outfox Democrats on climate votes.”

After the sub-heading, “The GOP accepts the notion of climate change - but not the way Democrats wanted them to,” Ms Schor writes: “Senate Republicans head-faked Democrats on climate change Wednesday, agreeing in a floor vote that the planet’s climate was changing, but blocking language that would have blamed human activity

“In a complicated maneuver that was the first politically perilous test for Senate Republicans, the new majority party split up the votes that Democrats had hoped would force the GOP into an awkward roll call on whether they believed in the science behind climate change — just hours after President Barack Obama slammed Republicans in his State of the Union address for dodging the issue.”

Which means that, after six years of feeling quite comfortable with control of the Senate, things may be changing for complacent Democrat members. Because if yesterday's maneuver was a sign of things to come, they’re in for a very upsetting next two years.

In issue two, israelnationalnews.com’s Gil Ronen reports that, “A senior Israeli official delivered an uncommonly harsh attack on US President Barack Obama's administration Thursday evening, following the American report that alleged that Mossad Head Tamir Pardo had warned US senators against further Iran sanctions, in contradiction of Israel's official stance.

"The fraudulent claims against the Mossad Head were raised by the Americans yesterday, despite a message that had been transmitted to them on Tuesday by Intelligence Minister [Yuval] Steintz,” the senior Israeli source told Channel 2 news.

“He added that Israel had gone over the minutes of the meeting between Pardo and the delegation of senators, and that Pardo had not said what was attributed to him.”

In fact, the exact opposite of the Obama administration's falsehood is true, whereas, “Mossad Head Tamir Pardo met on January 19, 2015, with a delegation of US senators,” Mossad said in a statement. “The meeting was held at the request of the senators and with the prime minister's approval. At the meeting, the Head of Mossad stressed the extraordinary effectiveness of the sanctions that have been placed on Iran for several years in bringing Iran to the negotiating table.”

However, none of this should be any surprise to anyone paying attention since way back when the president attended Reverend Wright’s church in Chicago, listening to sermons condemning Israel and all its people. Add to that reports such as the the one from israelnationalnews.com on October 26th, 2014, and the picture becomes far clearer, whereas: “The Heinz Foundation, headed by the wife of Heinz heiress Mrs. John Kerry, AKA Teresa Heinz Kerry, has been caught having donated $50,000 to the “Conflict Kitchen,’ a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania soup kitchen that serves up food on a platter of anti-Zionism.

“The soup kitchen recently came up with the gimmick of serving “Palestinian food,” whatever that means, in leaflets with quotes that support both terrorism and the idea that Israel should not exist.” 

In yesterdays case, a senior source added, “Leaking the Mossad Head's statements, even if they had not been falsified, is a serious breach of all the rules. Friends do not behave like this. Information from a secret meeting must not leak out.”

Moving to item three, Cheryl K. Chumley writes in washingtontimes.com that, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who is a black police officer, “didn’t pull any punches in his assessment of the Rev. Al Sharpton — who vowed to keep fighting for justice for slain Ferguson teen Michael Brown, despite the feds’ decision to drop a civil rights investigation — and characterized him on national television as less than intelligent and unworthy of respect.

“The grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, got it right,” Sheriff Clarke said, during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.” “Officer [Darren] Wilson has been exonerated. The thing I want to know is how does he get his reputation back?

“I don’t expect anything intelligent to come out of the mouth of Al Sharpton,” Sheriff Clarke said, “We know he is a charlatan. Al Sharpton ought to go back into the gutter he came from. The police officer is owed a lot from him, Eric Holder and the president of the United States.”

Which is why, perhaps, Sharpton hasn’t been seen in the White House lately, and maybe there will be some repercussion from the embarrassment he’s caused the administration's leadership. Such as a demand for the $4.5 million in unpaid taxes he owes the IRS.   

And lastly, “Charles Krauthammer said on "Special Report with Bret Baier" Thursday that the resignation of Yemen's president and leadership is a "huge geopolitical gain for Iran.

"What comes after, for us, is bad news," the syndicated columnist and Fox News contributor said. "This is a country that Obama touted as a great success. It all hinged on the government, now destroyed and deposed.

Krauthammer added that the Iranian influence now spreads throughout the region from Iraq to Syria and now Yemen, "That's why this is a double attack on us," he said. "It's a loss of an ally against Al Qaeda. and it's a huge geopolitical gain for Iran extending its influence over Arab states."

So, it seems that consistency may be this administration’s most prevalent asset, because it virtually doesn’t matter what the issue is or where it arises, at home or abroad. History has now demonstrated with the passage of time, that regardless of the subject, this administration is always, always, on the wrong side.

That’s it for today folks.
