Yesterday, on CNN's “State of the Union,” Senator John McCain said President Obama’s “letting his personal issues with newly re-elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affect his decision-making and shared policy goals."
 
After stating that, “It’s time that we work together with our Israeli friends and try to stem the tide of ISIS and Iranian movement throughout the region, which is threatening the very fabric of the region,” the senator, “called out Obama and told him: “Get over your temper tantrum, Mr. President.”
 
Democrat Rep. Steve Israel, was also a guest on the show. He suggested everyone drop the drama and get back to the fundamentals, saying, “What counts is, are we providing Israel with the critical security equipment technology that they need? And on that, we are.”
 
Now, according to Wikipedia, Congressman Israel’s religion is Judaism. Yet, he’s perfectly content in the knowledge that the president of the U.S. is doing his best to insure that Iran continues its progress toward nuclear capability focused on wiping the Israelis nation off the face of the earth. So, with friends like the Congressman, Israel doesn’t need enemies.
 
It might help the Congressman, however, if he read yesterday’s column by Michael Goodwin @ nypost.com, which began as follows:
 
“First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet.
 
“He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our ­allies, appeases tyrants, coddles ­adversaries and uses the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Mideast. 
 
“Now he’s coming for Israel. It is a clear and glaring double standard.” 
 
Farther along, Mr. Goodwin writes: “Most troubling is Obama’s bended-knee deference to Iran’s Supreme Leader, which has been repaid with “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” demonstrations in Tehran and expanded Iranian military action in other countries. 
 
“The courtship reached the height of absurdity last week, when Obama wished Iranians a happy Persian new year by equating Republican critics of his nuclear deal with the resistance of theocratic hard-liners, saying both “oppose a diplomatic solution.” That is a damnable slur given that a top American military official estimates that Iranian weapons, proxies and trainers killed 1,500 US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Who in their right mind would trust such an evil regime with a nuke?”
 
The article includes considerable valuable information, so here’s a link: GOODWIN- Israel, Beware
 
However, since Congressman Israel's from NYC, it's possible he attended a public school. Which would explain why he is apparently unable to read or assimilate and analyze even the simplest information.    
 
Today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife comes from Michael C. Schmidt in today’s nytimes.com.
 
The roughly 300 emails from Mrs. Clinton’s private account that were turned over last month to a House committee investigating the Benghazi attack showed no evidence that Bill’s wife issued a “stand down” order to halt American forces responding to the violence in Benghazi, or took part in a broad cover-up of the administration’s response, according to senior American officials.
 
But they did show that her “top aides at times corresponded with her about State Department matters from their personal email accounts, raising questions about her recent assertions that she made it her practice to email aides at their government addresses so the messages would be preserved, in compliance with federal record-keeping regulations.
 
“The emails have not been made public, and The New York Times was not permitted to review them. But four senior government officials offered descriptions of some of the key messages, on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to jeopardize their access to secret information.
 
“A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton said she and her aides had used their email accounts appropriately, while a spokesman for the Republican-controlled House committee declined to comment.”
 
Thus, since the 300 emails are but a small sampling of the thousands in question, it’s certain far more investigation will be conducted. And perhaps to save time, the same inquiry panel can be asked to look into foreign contributions to the Clinton Foundation by nations such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Brunei.
 
In fact, as history’s proven, when it comes to the Clinton's, investigation into questionable activities seems to be a full-time occupation for many of those in government.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
