The Benghazi Committee Was a Victim of … Oh Dear God

November 18, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Take a deep breath.

UnknownRepublican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a member of the House Select Committee On Benghazi, said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton laid “a trap” for the committee by making her Oct. 22 appearance go “as long as possible.”

Oh yeah, Hillary victimized them.

Westmoreland, who hails from Georgia, explained that Trey Gowdy wanted to interview Hillary in private but Hillary refused, saying that she wanted it to be public.  Then she “stalled, debated, and filibustered” on her answers “to make it go as long as possible, so we would look cruel.”

No, son, you looked cruel AND dumb all on your own. You needed no help at that. You have that down pat. In fact, you ought to consider going pro.

Then he explains that the fat lady ain’t sang yet.

Westmoreland said the committee will be traveling to Germany and Italy to continue researching Benghazi.

What? No trips to the Cayman Islands?

 

Remember When ….

Remember when Democrats thought that John Kasich was the only reasonable Republican running for President?

Scratch that.

Unknown“As part of a broad national security plan to defeat ISIS, Republican Presidential candidate John Kasich proposed creating a new government agency to push Judeo-Christian values around the world,” NBC News reports.

“The new agency, which he hasn’t yet named, would promote a Jewish- and Christian-based belief system to four regions of the world: China, Iran, Russia and the Middle East.”

Two months ago Kasich said that the United States should accept refugees from Syria.  This week he sent a letter to President Obama saying not to accept any more.

Y’all, they ate his brain. Whatever started in Ben Carson’s brain has migrated to Kasich’s brain. We need to build a wall around the GOP Presidential candidates. A huge one. Huge.

 

There’s Good News and There’s Bad News

The good news is that Louie Gohmert has a opponent in the Republican primary.

Screen Shot 2015-11-18 at 8.24.42 AMThe bad news is that his opponent thinks Louie is just not getting enough done.

Lufkin rancher Simon Winston thinks that Louie is just “promoting himself” and isn’t getting things done. Winston believes the same things Louie believes but also believes Louie isn’t effective. I think maybe we should be grateful for that.

He described himself as pro-life and a supporter of the Second Amendment right to bear arms who obtained a concealed handgun permit the first day they were available in Texas.

Winston said he opposes welcoming refugees from Syria into the Lone Star State and supports outright closing the border with Mexico.

“Until you stop the people from coming in illegally, you can’t get anything done,” he said. “You don’t know who’s coming across there in the first place. And they are bringing all these drugs in.”

So you’ve got your choice – tweedledee or tweedledum-with-a-cowboy-hat.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

One More Down.

There will be a new empty space at the next GOP debate — Bobby Jindal has faced the big reality boogaloo and will be dashing his hopes of being president.

The kiddie table is emptying nicely.

Just Begging for It

Sometimes you gotta wonder if someone is just begging for a visit from the Secret Service.

Texas Hero, Whoa Wait

November 17, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Texas Republican State Representative (you’re cringing already, aren’t you?) Tony Dale, who is just about as conservative as they come, has been hollering about allowing Syrian refugees into Texas. He, of course, is against it.

So he put a poll on his Twitter feed to hear from his constituents.

He had to quickly shut it down.

Yeah, well, he doesn’t care what you think anyway.

Thanks to Harold for the heads up on Facebook.

Whoa, Wait —

He says he’s against them coming for an entirely different reason.

In a letter to Texas lawmakers, State Representative Tony Dale (R-Cedar Park) argued that the state should not accept any Syrian refugees because its lax gun-purchasing regulations would make it easy for any terrorists hiding among them to acquire a weapon and carry out an attack.

That makes my head hurt. Republicans believe that Texas needs lax gun purchasing regulations but agree that makes it easier for terrorists (and murderers and crooks) to get guns.

That makes my damn head hurt.

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
