Ollie Gillman @dailymail.co.uk titled his article today: “Peace out, fools! Obama plays the clown by flashing the peace sign for nuclear security summit 'team photo'... and gets a very unimpressed look from David Cameron and bemused world leaders” 

Mr. Gilman writes: “Surrounded by world leaders, President Barack Obama gave the peace sign as they gathered for a 'team photo' during a two-day nuclear summit. 

“All eyes were on Obama as 54 other presidents and prime ministers joined him in Washington, DC, for crunch talks on Iran and terrorist threats involving nuclear weapons. 

“There was one set of eyes, however, that was particularly focused on the President - those of Prime Minister David Cameron. 

“Relations between Cameron and Obama have been strained since the President criticized the Prime Minister for getting 'distracted' during the crisis in Libya and turning it into a 's**t show'. 

“There was more than metaphorical distance between the pair at today's summit, with Cameron only able to glare at Obama from across the podium as he was elbowed out to the edge of the stage.” 

The preceding brought to mind that in seven short years, the  POTUS has alienated two of the nation’s closest, and most consistently reliable ally’s, Britain and Israel. And, at the same time, he’s replaced them with Iran and Cuba. Both of which have absolutely no use for the U.S., unless they can extort some funds for themselves. 

Thus, the question arises as to why any rational American leader would swap two long-time, trusted friends for two hostile adversary’s. And unfortunately, without getting into detail, from the POTUS’s attitude toward the U.S. in all that he does, the answer is obvious. 

A similar summation was found @foxnews.com, from Charles Krauthammer, who “told viewers Friday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that President Obama’s comments following the nuclear security summit in Washington are evidence the president is divorced from reality, and from the real problems plaguing the world. 

“The president said that the South Americans are securing their nuclear materials…. I’d been up late nights unable to sleep thinking about the South American nuclear issue,” Krauthammer said. “The president is operating in a world that is detached from ours.” 

“Krauthammer ticked off the president’s main accomplishments over the last several months: the Paris climate change conference, the nuclear security summit, and a holiday in Cuba. 

“That’s it,” he said, adding, “The world is on fire. We’ve got Brussels, Paris, San Bernardino. All over the world, we have a rise of Islamic radicalism, and he is obsessed with these long-term, utopian, as he said, ‘transnational’ issues that ordinary people… do not appreciate.” 

In addition to the questionable presidential decisions regarding foreign policy, this writer sat here wondering a few minutes ago, as to whether or not the check for $500 million that the POTUS gave to the Green Climate Fund a few weeks back had cleared yet. And if it did, what are the chances of getting the taxpayers money back? 

This morning, Renee Duff, Meteorologist @accuweather.com warns that “a fresh shot of arctic air will usher spring snow into parts of the Great Lakes and Northeast during the first weekend of April. 

“An Alberta Clipper system diving down from Canada will deliver a round of snow and sharply colder conditions to the northeastern United States. 

“Snow showers and heavier snow squalls are expected to track across the Great Lakes on Saturday, reaching the interior Northeast by the afternoon and New England overnight.”

And then: “A widespread 1 to 3 inches of snow will fall from Michigan to New England with higher amounts focused on the New York state and Pennsylvania border to a narrow zone in southern New England.

“Cold air may dive far enough south for wet snowflakes to mix with rain in cities such as Pittsburgh and Boston Saturday night into Sunday morning.

“Behind this system, people will be double-checking the calendar as it will feel more like February in places such as New York City, Syracuse and Buffalo, New York; Boston; Burlington, Vermont; and Portland, Maine. 

“Temperatures will fail to leave the 30s F in many northeastern cities on Sunday. Arctic winds, cloud cover, low humidity and other factors will contribute to AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures in the teens and single digits. 

Strong winds will mark the advance of the arctic air.

On another favorite subject, a short entry by Olaf Ekberg @theamericanmirror.com, notes that “a rally staged at a college campus housing plenty of warm bodies wasn’t enough for Bill Clinton to fill the room.” 

Mr. Ekberg included a photo tweeted by Chris Garretty, an organizer for the Clinton campaign, that shows empty space at Friday’s rally in Appleton, Wisconsin.

And then, following the article, reader John (magnum) posted the following:

 

Which, appropriately, brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife. 

Lisa Lerner and Ken Thomas @bigstory.ap.org, write: “According to Democrats close to Hillary and former President Bill Clinton, both are frustrated by Sanders' ability to cast himself as above politics-as-usual even while firing off what they consider to be misleading attacks. The Clintons are even more annoyed that Sanders' approach seems to be rallying — and keeping — young voters by his side. 

“While Hillary Clinton's team contends her lock on the nomination as "nearly insurmountable," the campaign frequently grumbles that Sanders hasn't faced the same level of scrutiny as the former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady.” 

And then comes one of the most hypocritical, and totally ridiculous premises seen in any kind of political campaign, much less one for the presidency of the U.S., as follows: 

“Her aides complain about Sanders' rhetoric, claiming he's broken his pledge to avoid character attacks by going after her paid speeches and ties to Wall Street, and they point to scenes of Sanders supporters booing Clinton's name at his rallies.” 

So, while these “aides” certainly can’t be naive enough not to understand what campaign rhetoric is all about, they must certainly be absolutely aware of their candidate’s highly questionable history.  

And, as far as criticising “her paid speeches and ties to Wall Street,” are concerned, they should be pleased that Sanders didn’t even scratch the surface of her misdeeds, lies, extortion and corruption. Much less her professional incapability and lives lost in Benghazi on her watch, or the FBI’s present case regarding email infractions when Secretary of State. 

So, instead of complaining, these very same aides ought to be sending thanks to Sanders, for behaving as a gentleman when he could be papering the walls with more than thirty years of her misdeeds. But he really doesn’t have to, because the FBI will do it for him. 

Which brings up the ongoing question once again: Joe Biden, Mayor Bloomberg, Jerry Brown, and Starbuck’s chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?    

That’s it for today folks.
