    On the hunt for Valor Thieves in Indianapolis

    Hot dog stuff

    We haven’t heard much from TSO lately, but rest assured that he’s on the hunt for valor thieves in Indianapolis, using a clever disguise and his service dogs. I hope I haven’t blown his cover here.

    For Your Reading “Pleasure”

    We now bring to you another in the never-ending series of “WTF Moments” concerning the US response to the West African Ebola Outbreak, courtesy of the       fools and tools      DC clown krewe      clueless jackasses     idiots in charge     current Administration.


    Obama Plans to Let Ebola-infected
    Foreigners Into US for Treatment

    Yeah, that REALLY passes the “common sense” test.  And I just love how the plan involves bypassing Federal law – and is allegedly being kept secret from Congress.

    Idiocy.  Sheer freaking idiocy.



  • Is Anyone Really Surprised?

    Remember the 2012 Secret Service prostitution incident in Columbia?  You know, that incident where of Secret Service personnel were later fired (or otherwise disciplined) for cavorting with prostitutes or related bad behavior?

    Remember that the White House at the time flatly and repeatedly denied any White House involvement?

    Do I really need to spell it out?  Turns out that senior White House aides were indeed apparently aware of the matter early on. And there are indications that a volunteer (but politically well-connected) member of the White House advance party may have indeed been involved.

    The Secret Service informed the White House Counsel at the time, Katherine Ruemmler, and other Presidential aides of what had happened.  Informed, as in provided them firsthand accounts and information from hotel records concerning what had happened and who appeared to be involved. She and other White House staff “conducted an internal review that did not identify any inappropriate behavior on the part of the White House advance team”.

    Interesting.  Then why did the DHS IG investigators working the case apparently come to a different conclusion?  And why did the lead DHS IG investigator assigned to investigate the incident, David Nieland, say he was directed by more senior DHS IG officials to delay the report of his investigation until after the 2012 Presidential election?  Ya know, for some reason I just don’t think that delay was ordered to ensure a more comprehensive, better investigation.

    Oh, and Nieland also says that he was directed

    “to withhold and alter certain information in the report of investigation because it was potentially embarrassing to the administration.”

    Curiously enough, it appears that the IG investigators believed that there was indeed possible involvement by at least one White House aide – but when they raised questions concerning this, they were put on administrative leave in apparent retaliation for doing so.  It’s also curious that the DHS Acting Inspector General, Charles K. Edwards, later “resigned amid allegations of misconduct stemming in part from the dispute”.

    The Washington Post has a damn good and longish article on this cover-up today.  It’s definitely worth reading to see the details.

    For some reason reading that article makes me think of a puddle of dirty Water by the Gate.  But maybe that’s just me.

    Bottom line:  it sure looks like this      DC Clown Krewe       Administration has been p!ssing on our leg and telling us it’s raining – yet again.   So what else is new?

  • Yeah, I Think That Sign Could Use a “Do-Over”

    The UK’s Telegraph Travel might not be able to see a problem.  But I think I can.

  • Life Imitating Art

    In keeping with today’s “theater of the absurd” theme:  I’d guess many TAH readers are fans of the late Douglas Adams – author of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe and a number of other works. So the name Eccentrica Gallumbits, Adams’ fictional triple-breasted whore from Eroticon Six, probably rings a bell.

    Well, apparently that’s not just a joke (or a sick fantasy) any more.

    While I’m not calling the individual in question a prostitute . . . I’m not kidding, either.

  • And In the “Idiots Being Idiots” Department . . . .

    Here’s a look at some recent bureaucratic inanity, courtesy mostly of our PC libidiot “brethren”.

    And, just for our “global warming”    propagandists   aficionados:

    Finally:  just because I like this – and I think it fits here quite nicely – here ya go (smile):

  • YGBSM. Again.

    Everyone knows that there are certain places EBT cards can’t be used.  Liquor stores, for one.

    So places where marijuana can be legally sold (in states where such sales are legal, like Colorado) must be places where EBT card use is banned – right?

    Well, actually . . . no.  The DHS has confirmed to Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama that EBT cards can in fact be used at shops where marijuana is sold lawfully.

    I’m not joking.

    Senator Sessions has announced his intent to introduce legislation banning that practice.  My question:  why in the hell hasn’t DHS done that administratively already?

    Oh, yeah – I remember now why.  The linked article indicates that DHS claims they have “no authority” to ban the practice.

    GMAFB.  Since when has that stopped anyone in the current Administration from doing anything?

  • “What This Country Needs Is a Really Good . . . . “

    . . . thousand dollar cigar?!!??

    No?  Well, someone famous might disagree.

    Maker of world’s most expensive
    cigars says Bill Clinton a client

    I have to say that this seems somehow . . . apropos.  After all:  the man has some  experience with cigars that ended up being very expensive.

    I couldn’t make this sh*t up if I tried . . . .
