Congress and ultimately the taxpaying citizens
of the United States.
Obama decries what he calls the racial preju-
dice in America and makes public comments
regarding incidents that occur when the parties
involved are black and white or Hispanic-sur-
named and white.
He makes phone calls to the families of the
black person involved; but where is his phone
call to the family of Kathleen Steinle?
Where is his proclamation of the wrongdoing
of the criminal, illegal immigrant that his own
policies allowed to be loose in American to kill
Kathleen in cold blood?
What causes Obama to tout the cause of Islam
worldwide, but to state publicly that “America is
not a Christian country?
Unfortunate isn’t it that the man who points
his finger at others and yells “racism” and “dis-
crimination” cannot seem to discern those two
character flaws in himself.
What recourse, if any, do “we the people” have
to Obama’s decision to force our country into a
treaty with Iran that causes us to violate our trea-
ty with our Middle Eastern ally, Israel?
By orchestrating the United Nation’s Security
Council vote on the Iranian treaty, Obama kept
the United States from being “personally respon-
sible” for the approval of the treaty to which the
Israeli people and its leadership were not only
opposed, but are terrified of, while not putting
the treaty in the position of receiving a resound-
ing “nay” vote from the Congress.
Thus making it appear the United States is up-
holding its treaty with Israel. Such underhanded
and collusive behavior is an insult to both the
Israeli people and the American citizens repre-
sented by their president. Worse than that, it is a
direct, distinct, unmistakable insult to the integ-
rity which is supposed to characterize a United
States president!
Obama has single-handedly demeaned the
character of this nation and its citizens.
There is no longer any reason for any nation to
look upon the United States with anything more
than disdain.
Thank you, Obama.
You wanted a legacy. Well now you got one
which will insure your perpetual listing in in-
famy!
Jon Stewart must be kicking himself for deciding
to quit his political satire show this summer. He’s
going to miss out on all the fun. The Republican
Party is allowing lefties to arm themselves for bear.
For free. I’m talking about the 17 GOP candidates
running for President of these here United States.
Some of the candidates are so statistically close that
the powers-that-be at Fox News have decided to
let the top ten participate in the first debate of the
campaign season. It seems like a hullabaloo in the
making. I can’t wait.
As of the writing of this article, these are the sta-
tistical standings: Donald Trump, impresario and
general blowhard with an unfortunate comb-over:
20 percent. Scott Walker, a fairly reasonable man
(the reason far right-wingers won’t vote for him)
and Wisconsin governor: 13 percent. Jeb Bush,
Bush dynasty tagalong and death penalty cheerlead-
er: 10 percent. At 6 percent each: Ben Carson, nut-
case neurosurgeon (“Obamacare is the worst thing
that has happened to this country since slavery.”);
Mike Huckabee, Arkansas governor, good ole boy,
and author of “God, Guns, Grits and Gravy”; Rand
Paul, Kentucky senator and apple-not-fallen-too-
far-from-the-tree son of Ron Paul; Marco Rubio,
wet-behind-the-ears Florida senator. At 5 percent
each: Ted Cruz, Texas senator and natural-bom
Canadian, and John Kasich, Ohio governor with a
short temper and prickly personality (but at least he,
unlike most Republicans, does believe in expanding
Medicaid to help the poor). Bringing up the rear:
Chris Christie, New Jersey governor and bridge
burner. Our Texas Gov. Rick Perry, bless his heart,
is sitting in the 11th spot at 2 percent. Oops. Guess
he won’t be debating on the national stage. At least
we’ll be spared that embarrassment. Getting rid of
his cowboy boots and donning hipster eyeglasses
hasn’t helped his polling numbers much, even
though he still has the best damn hair in politics.
In my decidedly left-brained imagination, I can
see the debate going something like this.
FOX: Welcome, Republican candidates for Presi-
dent of the United States, and good luck to you all.
We’re on a mission from God to find the best can-
didate to get those pinko-commie Dems out of the

The recent successfully con-

the two most important achieve-

White House before they bring our country to its
knees.
Trump: I want to start by talking about John Mc-
Cain and reiterate my point. “He’s not a war hero.
He was a war hero because he was captured. I like
people who weren’t captured.”
FOX: Mr. Trump, I haven’t even asked a question
yet. Please wait your turn.
Trump: Do you have any idea who I am? I’m
Donald Trump. Voters like me because I make my
own rules and say whatever I think whenever I want
to.
FOX: There are nine other candidates here who
also have something to say.
Trump: They can go f*&% themselves. “Eove
him or hate him, Trump is a man who is certain
about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds
barred. Women find his power almost as much of a
tum-on as his money.”

FOX: Why
third-person?
Trump: Eisten, nobody has time for your gram-
mar lesson. I want to talk about Mexico and the
border. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re
not sending the best. They’re sending people that
have lots of problems and they’re bringing those
problem. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bring-
ing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, are
good people.”
Huckabee: Eet me jump in here. “My plan to se-
cure the border? Two words: Chuck Norris.”
FOX: For heaven’s sakes, let me at least ask one
question. Gov. Walker, this one is for you. How
much money has your campaign raised?
Walker: Well, in the last quarter...
Trump: Nobody cares about that, Walker. Eike
I’ve always said, “If you can’t get rich dealing with
politicians, there’s something wrong with you.”
FOX: Mr. Trump, I’m going to have to insist that
you be quiet and let the others speak.
TRUMP: You can go f&%$ yourself as well. All
of you media types are morons anyway. You can
say and write anything you want about me; the
American people love me.
FOX: Mr. Trump, you’re fired.
Be still my heart. Run, Hillary, run.

The agreement has reduced
i prin- the chance of a US attack on
facing Iran, which is a great develop-
down overwhelming opposition ment. But the interventionists
from all sides and not backing will not give up so easily. Al-
down. The president should be ready they are organizing media
commended for both of these and lobbying efforts to defeat
the agreement in Congress. Will
they have enough votes to over-
ride a presidential veto of their
rejection of the deal? It is unlike-
ly, but at this point if the neocons
can force the US out of the deal it
may not make much difference.
Which of our allies, who are now
facing the prospect of mutually-
beneficial trade with Iran, will
be enthusiastic about going back
to the days of a trade embargo?
Which will support an attack on
an Iran that has proven to be an
important trading partner and
has also proven reasonable in al-
lowing intrusive inspections of
its nuclear energy program?
However, what is most im-
portant about this agreement is
not that US government officials
have conducted talks with Ira-
nian government officials. It is
that the elimination of sanctions,
which are an act of war, will
open up opportunities for trade
with Iran. Government-to-gov-
emment relations are one thing,
but real diplomacy is people-to-
SeeTalk, page 5 A
Whose will has made this new Iranian disaster
treaty an accomplished abomination? Obama’s?
The Ayatollah? The Iranian peoples’? Or the
American taxpaying citizens? or ultimately the
United Nations? Obama already knew the feel-
ings of the American people, which left him the
United Nations option to by-pass the American
people. It just goes to show us how far America’s
president will go to reach his pro Muslim ends!
Not only will this ill-conceived agreement give
Iran and its pro-terrorist regime with the nuclear
option within a few years (some say five, while
others say 10, but the agreement also loosens
the purse strings on Iranian governmental funds
which have been frozen under the sanctions that
are now, by this agreement, lifted).
Now, with Iran’s history and our experience
with it in the Middle East, just what do you sup-
pose this regime is going to do with this money?
Wanna bet it won’t be to enhance the living
conditions of the Iranian people, but will be put
to “good use” sponsoring Hammas, Hezbollah,
and to arm the anti ISIS armies throughout the
Middle East?
Remember, ISIS is one sect of Islam while
Iran is a separate sect which is considered hereti-
cal by ISIS! Yep, this is going to make for a more
peaceful Middle East, isn’t it?
It is very hard to comprehend the workings of
Obama’s mind. He and his supporters tout the
fact that he was a constitutional Faw Professor.
Which Constitution was he professing? Did he
actually teach college students the laws of the
United States Constitution? It would seem incon-
gruous that he taught something he does not be-
lieve in; because our Constitution does not give
the president the right to by-pass our legislative
branch (a mindset for which he seems to have a
penchant). His actions speak much louder than
the words of the former profession. Perhaps it all
boils down to a case of “absolute power corrupts
absolutely.”
If he can’t accomplish HIS desires/plans/in-
tentions under Constitutional Faw, then he will
find some way (Executive Orders or United Na-
tions approved treaties) to reach HIS goal re-
gardless of the disagreement of the duly elected
