Must Read: Alone Again, Naturally. By Maureen Dowd
Excerpt: His circle keeps getting more inner. He golfs with
aides and jocks, and he spent his one evening back in Washington
from Martha’s Vineyard at a nearly five-hour
dinner at the home of a nutritional adviser and former White House assistant
chef, Sam Kass. The president who was elected because he was a hot commodity is
now a wet blanket. The extraordinary candidate turns out to be the most
ordinary of men, frittering away precious time on the links. (Uber liberal Dowd

Excerpt: Many women I have encountered as patients who came
to Britain from Pakistan 30 years ago, at 16 or 18, still know little
English—but not from any unwillingness to learn. Their husbands actively
prevented them from learning the language, to make sure that they would stay
enclosed in a ghetto and not get any ideas above their station. The same
rioting youths who protested British society’s failure to accept them as equal
citizens have themselves sought to reproduce the unequal social patterns of
rural Pakistan ,
half a world away, because it suited them to do so. Multiculturalism encourages
this stance. If all cultures are equal, and none has the right to impose its
standards on any other, what is wrong with the immigrant ghettos that have
emerged, where the population (that is to say, the male population) enjoys, de
facto, extraterritorial rights? If it is the custom of their ancestral culture
to keep girls out of school and force them into marriages that they do not want
and to confiscate the passports that the British government issues them for
their personal use, what can a multiculturalist object without asserting the
superiority of his own values? . (Published in his great book Not with a Bang, but a Whimper: The Politics

Important: Pentagon violated law with Bergdahl
prisoner swap, government watchdog says
Excerpt: The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office

was available, was a violation of the Antideficiency Act which bars spending by
agencies above the amount of money that Congress has obligated. (Well, when the

Emotional Storms Are No Response for Disasters: A new study shows that government aid and World Bank projects are not enough to spur lasting recovery.By Amity Shlaes
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/385905/emotional-storms-are-no-response-disasters-amity-shlaes
Excerpt: One such theory is that restoring old structures or
hurricane and flood spending can so stimulate economic activity at a disaster
site that the place will emerge better than it would have been prior to the
misfortune. Our officials routinely buttress this thesis. In addition to such
arguments for government or private spending, we see a second theory: disaster
as a kind of natural selection of businesses. There’s yet a third theory, which
is related: that disaster spaces can benefit from a specific version of Joseph
Schumpeter’s “creative destruction.”
Interesting: Be lucky - it's an easy skill to learn.
By Richard Wiseman
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/3304496/Be-lucky-its-an-easy-skill-to-learn.html
Excerpt: And so it is with luck - unlucky people miss chance
opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They
go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities
to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain
types of job advertisements and as a result miss other types of jobs. Lucky
people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than
just what they are looking for. My research revealed that lucky people generate
good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and
noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their
intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and
adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good. (I've always
been pretty lucky. ~Bob)

African-Americans
should stop using the N-word
Excerpt: As a self-respecting African-American, I find it
humiliating to be in a room with like-minded people when other blacks casually
use the word as if it were a term of endearment.
The N-word by definition places the African race on a
collision course with evolution, leaving them frozen in an ape-like state. As
one of slavery's most enduring legacies, the civil rights era of the 1960s
spawned a movement to end its use. ... -- Melvin Boone, Sanger B. Powell

Excerpt: On average, more than 6,000 African-Americans are
killed by gun violence each year. That startling figure is nearly equal to all
of the U.S. combat
fatalities incurred in both Afghanistan
and Iraq
over some 13 years. African-Americans are the victims in about half of the
homicides in America each
year despite the fact that blacks represent only about 13 percent of the U.S.
population. One would think that these alarming statistics would provoke the
sort of protests that we’ve seen in Ferguson ,
but that is not the case.

Missouri Governor under fire after calling for 'vigorous prosecution' of cop who shot dead Michael Brown but grand jury won't make decision until OCTOBER
Excerpt The Democrat governor released a five-minute video

in broad daylight. The world has watched as a community has been engulfed in
grief, anger, fear, at times violence.' The governor then called upon Attorney-General

Comment from a friend
in St. Louis
From Blog Reader BW: A friend of mine in St. Louis sent me the information below. I
have known him for decades. He is sane, reliable, and trustworthy. Here is his
statement: "The odd-ball groups have arrived in Ferguson . A national communist group is here,
a church group last night said a group prayer and then a chant to get Officer
Wilson, then threw bottles of urine on the police. One guy from Austin, Tx. has
been arrested 3 times, people from California ,
and many states are here to make trouble. There is even a zoo-train going up and
down the street giving rides to kids while their parents protest. The local
news just reported that two women with signs supporting officer Wilson came to
the riots last night to exercise their 1st amendment rights. The police had to
circle them to protect them. Gov. Nixon is on local TV now saying he will
not remove the county prosecutor. This afternoon a petition was submitted
containing 70,000 signatures of people who wanted him switched. Mr. Holder came
and met with the Brown family, said he's is for fairness. He did not have time
on his visit to call or meet with the police officer or his family."

Excerpt: The interior of the Ferguson Market and Liquor
Store is littered with broken bottles and scattered snacks. Despite the plywood
boards covering the windows and doors, looters with their faces covered in
bandanas helped themselves to anything they could find as those who came to memorialize
Michael Brown carried on his work. The violence in Ferguson didn't begin when a police officer
shot Michael Brown. It began when a 300 lb thug robbed the Ferguson Market and
abused a clerk. The release of the video showing the obese criminal assaulting
the clerk led to a terrified statement from the store manager that he had not
called the police and had nothing to do with the release of the video. “They
kill us if they think we are responsible," he said.
Fix Ferguson
Excerpt: If there’s a problem in America or anywhere in the world,
inflicting the media on it can only make it worse. By some accounts there are
more reporters in Ferguson
than there are protesters. That may be why the protesters ran for cover behind
the media after throwing bottles of urine at the police. There are so many
reporters in Ferguson
that the rioters and looters can use them as human shields.
Excerpt: To frame it another way, 33.5 of every 100,000
whites in the U.S.
assaulted a black victim at some point during each of those five years. Oh,
sure, the nitpickers will point out that during the same five-year period,
blacks in the U.S. committed, on average, some 327,900 assaults annually
against whites—meaning that about 898 of every 100,000 blacks nationwide
assaulted a white victim at some point each year. In other words, statistically
the average black was nearly 27 times more likely to assault a white, than vice
versa—898 versus 33.5 (out of every 100,000).

Worth Watching: Proportional response?
Someone sent me the link above, to
a scene from the TV program West Wing, in which the President asks a really
cogent question, and in the end demands his military people come up with a
response to those who have killed an American that will really, truly, for damn
sure get their attention. It's not a long clip (2.28), I recommend watching it.
Yes, it's way past time to hit people so damn hard, so fast, that the few
survivors have their heads spinning and the rest of the world sits back and
says "Those Americans are goddam dangerous!". My ideas: Day and night
air strikes on any target we can find, every vehicle, every artillery piece,
every suspected ammo dump, and drones overhead quietly waiting with IR for body
signatures of men with weapons, who all then go to Allah as death rains from
the sky. Done day in, day out, night after night until we get frustrated
because we can't find a damn thing worth a bullet. By which time they will be
hurt enough and weak enough that the Kurds and the Iraqi army can mop them up
as they run, preferably with a "no prisoners" policy. Just a
thought..... but sadly, the fictional President of that scene and today's
actual President are very, very far apart in how they think. I do read that the
Kurds have really tightened up, even in little towns every man from 17 to 70
has got himself a weapon and at least some ammo, and they are ready to fight
the ISIS guys alongside the organized Kurdish
forces. They have figure out that these ISIS
maniacs are as dangerous as dogs with advanced rabies, and the only thing you
do with such dogs is put them down. We are giving the Kurds some air support,
and have at least promised them some more advanced weapons, which really just
means antitank rocket launchers so they can at least take out the ISIS armored vehicles (that we gave the idiot Iraqi army
fools). But if we just supply small arms ammo, grenades, and antitank stuff in
plenty to the Kurds, they will put them to good use, and if our air support
does at least significant damage to the ISIS
equipment, things can turn around. What we can hope for is that once the ISIS guys start taking a real beating, and start
retreating, more and more people like the Iraqi army will jump on the bandwagon
and go after them. It could turn into a real downward spiral for ISIS , and they could get really chewed up and chased all
the way back into Syrian territory. Meanwhile, it'd be nice if somebody figured
out if there's anyone in Syria
who also hates and wants to destroy ISIS , that
we might offer support to as well. Hitting them from both sides would be a
dream come true. But I am looking for nerve and competence from our leadership.

Excerpt: However secular the tastes of the young Muslim men,
they strongly wish to maintain the male dominance they have inherited from
their parents. A sister who has the temerity to choose a boyfriend for herself,
or who even expresses a desire for an independent social life, is likely to
suffer a beating, followed by surveillance of Stasi-like thoroughness. The young
men instinctively understand that their inherited system of male
domination—which provides them, by means of forced marriage, with sexual
gratification at home while simultaneously freeing them from domestic chores
and allowing them to live completely Westernized lives outside the home,
including further sexual adventures into which their wives cannot inquire—is
strong but brittle, rather as communism was: it is an all or nothing
phenomenon, and every breach must meet swift punishment. Even if for no other
reason, then (and there are in fact other reasons), young Muslim males have a
strong motive for maintaining an identity apart. . (Published in his great book

President condemns
brutality of ISIS :
Excerpt: Now, Jim Foley’s life stands in stark contrast to
his killers. Let’s be clear about ISIL. They have rampaged across cities and
villages killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence. They
abduct women and children and subject them to torture and rape and slavery.
They have murdered Muslims, both Sunni and Shia, by the thousands. They target
Christians and religious minorities, driving them from their homes, murdering
them when they can, for no other reason than they practice a different
religion. (Translation: Based on O's history in Libya, Syria and every other
place in which the US has confronted thugs on his watch, ISIS will soon be
receiving US humanitarian aid [probably including ammunition], in an effort to
"Reset" their understanding of the West. Buy burkas for your wives
and daughters before they disappear from the bazaars and Kasbahs. --TH)
Excerpt: But on a deeper level, the statement
suggests 2) some serious problems with this administration’s understanding
of man’s nature and propensity for evil. Let’s look at a few tweets that get at
this: ... President Obama’s utopian fantasy of “the future” “always” being “won
by those who build, not destroy” is just obviously and resoundingly false, for
better or worse. I mean, define “future.” And define “winning” and “building
vs. destroying.” Tamerlane had tremendous success destroying and slaughtering
his enemies — for most of a century. And World War II didn’t end by building up
Nagasaki .

The President is wrong to continue to downplay this threat
by saying that ISIS is claiming to be at war with America
merely out of expediency, or that ISIS is
motivated by sheer 'nihilism.' This is not a "J.V. team," as the
President has put it. ISIS is an army of
cold-blooded killers motivated by radical Islam. They continue their march,
uninterrupted, to convert by the sword, kill Christians and other religious
minorities, and expand their control of the Middle East .
The Iraqis have already demonstrated that they cannot stop them on their own.
