One has to wonder if the administration truly has a dedicated, organized plan to undermine the nation, or is simply the most ignorant group of mental dysfunctional’s ever amassed in a single endeavor. 

 

Following continually huge mistakes in foreign policy, particularly in the Middle-East, according to FoxNews.com this morning, the Obama administration is now going to “allow families of U.S. hostages to pay ransom -- and even allow the U.S. government to play a facilitating role.”

 

While prohibition of the U.S. government’s directly paying ransoms, or making other concessions to terrorists, will remain in effect, terrorists will now have significant incentive for kidnapping with the hostage policy overhaul taking place.

 

Now, for any Americans travelling abroad, it’s open season everywhere all year long...and they’re the trophies.

 

Along the same lines of either acting without thinking or blatantly placing themselves above all other citizens, Paul Bedard @washingtonexaminer.com writes about another presidential insult to basic intelligence, as follows:

 

“President Obama's decision to take his Earth Day speech attacking climate change "deniers" to Florida, home of two GOP presidential candidates, cost taxpayers $866,615.40 just for the flight of Air Force One.

 

“Taxpayer watchdog Judicial Watch revealed Wednesday that the Air Force provided documents showing the flight expenses of flying the jumbo jet 4.2 hours to Miami. He was then helicoptered 20 minutes to the Florida Everglades for his speech.”

 

And then, Adam Vaughan @theguardian.com reports that: “Weak sun could offset some global warming in Europe and US – study 

 

“Global warming in northern Europe and the eastern US could be partially offset in future winters because of the sun entering a weaker cycle similar to the one which enabled frost fairs to take place on the river Thames in the 17th and 18th century, according to new research.

 

“The sun has been in a period of high activity for the past few decades. But scientists believe there is now as much as a 20% chance of a weaker period of activity, known as a grand solar minimum, occurring in the next 40 years.”

 

In response, a reader, Daley, commented: “The trouble with this topic is that it is very polarized. Those with government funding object to the findings of those with industry grants ... and vice versa.

 

“In this circumstance and given the large amount of "noise in the data"it is difficult to reach conclusions one way or the other. For instance present interpretations of 'global warming' the decrease in arctic polar sea ice AND the increase of antarctic sea ice are interpreted as evidence for rise in global mean temperatures.”

 

Therefore, according to reader Daley, proponents of “global-warming’s” threats to the planet employ evidence of both, melting and  freezing of ice, as proof of their conclusion. Which makes it extremely difficult to argue with.    

 

Another reader, willys36NEW, considered the coming freeze and asked, “So. . . how many SUVs do we need to put on the road to adjust this?”

 

Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife,. This one about one of her closest associates.

 

According to an article in Washington Free Beacon, “Hillary Clinton’s top aide Cheryl Mills held several outside roles, including a board position with a UAE-funded university in Abu Dhabi, while working as chief of staff and counselor at the State Department, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.”

 

“After joining the State Department in the beginning of 2009, Mills continued to serve as general counsel for New York University for several months. She also sat on the board of the “NYU in Abu Dhabi Corporation,” the fundraising arm for the university’s UAE satellite campus. The school is bankrolled by the Abu Dhabi government and has been criticized by NYU professors and human rights activists for alleged labor abuses.

 

“Mills resigned both positions in May 2009, according to a university spokesperson. Although she did not receive a direct salary from the Abu Dhabi board, she collected $198,000 over four months from NYU.”

 

However, while Ms Mills employer’s, dates of employment and compensation are a matter of record, it seems that anyone or thing, needs further explanation if Bill Clinton’s wife is involved in any way at all. 

 

In this case, “While the State Department told the Free Beacon that Mills did not start working as Clinton’s chief of staff until May 24, 2009, internal agency documents indicate she began months earlier.

 

“Mills is identified as Clinton’s chief of staff in several U.S. diplomatic cables prior to May 2009. One confidential dispatch published by Wikileaks described a Feb. 5, 2009 meeting in Washington between Haitian President Rene Preval and Secretary Clinton.”

 

So, here we have another instance where one of the simplest things in any organization, finding the date of an employee’s hiring, turns into something resembling espionage because a Clinton’s involved. Which leads to the ongoing question: Mayor Bloomberg, are you reading this?

 

And in the Mayor’s case, there are some concerned about his physical stature for the role of POTUS. Which is why I suggest that to counter their argument, he should simply stand on his wallet.

 

That’s it for today folks.
