Gone In Sixty Days - Stirrings On The War Powers Act

Six Republican Senators query the Obama Administration on just what style of steaming dung the Adinistration propose to serve in order to feign compliance with the sixty-day limit on action in Libya seemingly required by the War Powes Act:

Washington (CNN) – As the U.S. military campaign in Libya approaches the 60-day mark this Friday, six Republican senators wrote President Obama asking if he will comply with the War Powers Act, which says Congress must authorize action that lasts more than 60 days.

"Friday is the final day of the statutory sixty-day period for you to terminate the use of the United States Armed Forces in Libya under the War Powers Resolution. Last week some in your Administration indicated use of the United States Armed Forces will continue indefinitely, while others said you would act in a manner consistent with the War Powers Resolution. Therefore, we are writing to ask whether you intend to comply with the requirements of the War Powers Resolution. We await your response," wrote the GOP senators Wednesday.

The letter was signed by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.

One guess - Adminstration planners miscounted slightly.  Since the world will be ending on Saturday, the sixty day limit will quickly become moot.

This strikes me as dumb:

But Sen. Rand Paul told CNN congress should not let any president get away with launching military action without congressional approval, and that he and his colleagues may go to the Supreme Court and ask for a ruling on whether the president is in violation of the law.

"There is a law. It's on the books, and in plain reading of the War Powers Act, he appears to be in violation of the War Powers Act," said Paul.

Paul said they will also attempt to push "legislative remedies" on the Senate floor, but acknowledges that may be hard to accomplish since Democrats control the schedule.

My understanding is that the Supreme Court very much prefers to duck these inter-branch squabbles, especially when the Congress can very easily speak for and defend its own interests by exercising, for example, its power of the purse.

Bibi also pointed out that the people clamoring for a "right of return" are not the refugees, they're the refugees' grandchildren.

McDonald’s CEO to food police: The clown’s going nowhere

Full disclosure: I had a paper route on Staten Island in the late 60's, and one of my customers was the real, maybe original, Ronald McDonald. He actually exposed himself to me one time when I went to collect.

I wasn't amused, and neither was my father when I told him about it. Heh. Ronald was lucky because my father was a serious ass-kicker.

Why attack McDonald's? Stop the nanny state tyranny. Our founding fathers would be appalled by this behavior.

Start with a fertile refugee and assume a few generations of teen mothers and you can throw a couple "great"'s on that last word - child born in 1949, grandchild in 65, great-grandchild in 81, great-great-grandchild in 97....

The oldest of the refugees' grandchildren are pushing 50. The great-great-grandchildren are old enough to throw rocks at Israelis. It's possible there are some great-great-great-grandchildren of refugees in cribs somewhere in Gaza.

Absurd Zionist propaganda. The Nakba happened basically 1947-1949. Even JOMers should be able to figure that one out.

MSNBC began with allegations that Bush said the same thing as bambi, except he didn't. It went on to say republicans would agree with bambi if he wasn't a democrat, and bambi is a statesmen and the republicans are running for office. That was all I could take.

In 2008 N. T. Wright (at the time an Anglican "bishop") was invited to attend and to address the Synod of Bishops (RC) in Rome. The Synod was devoted to Scripture. You can find Wright's address here: The Fourfold Amor Dei and the Word of God.

For all you fundamentalists out there, here - How Can The Bible Be Authoritative? - is a rather long piece by Wright on the authority of Scripture. I don't consider that he sees the whole picture, but this is a good place for you to start.

David Samel writes:

The fear that Obama has grown a spine is greatly exaggerated, though Netanyahu’s pretend “furious” reaction surely is designed to make Obama look and maybe feel tougher than he is. This doesn’t even address the underlying problem of the illegal settlements which make the two-state solution impossible. Obama’s criticism of the settlements was limited to the fact that they are “continuing,” and of course the Palestinians were to blame because they “walked away from talks.”

So Obama has endorsed a blueprint for no progress toward an unachievable outcome, and we are supposed to believe Netanyahu’s howls of outrage over a single reference to the long-standing “starting point” for the road to nowhere. How transparent is this? Even Jeffrey Goldberg doesn’t buy it!

Goldberg on Twitter:

Various unworthies saying Obama threw Israel under a bus. This is utterly delusional. Obama's position on borders is same as George W Bush's.

The simple truth is the Arabs left Israel because the Arab armies told them to.

And the Jews left the Arab countries because the Arabs forced them to.

Environment minister Phil Woolas
Inbreeding among immigrants is causing a dramatic rise in birth defects, a government minister has warned.

Referring to the culture of Muslim arranged marriages between cousins, environment minister Phil Woolas said: "If you have a child with your cousin the likelihood is there'll be a genetic problem."
Mr Woolas, whose views were supported today by medical experts, said the practice did not extend to all Muslim communities and that most cases occur in families from rural Pakistan, where up to half of all marriages are thought to involve first cousins.
According to today's Sunday Times, the minister, who represents Oldham East and Saddleworth said: "If you talk to any primary care worker they will tell you that levels of disability among the . . . Pakistani population are higher than the general population. And everybody knows it's caused by first cousin marriage.

January 12, 2011

Nicolai Sennels is a Danish psychologist who has done extensive research into a little-known problem in the Muslim world: the disastrous consequences of Muslim inbreeding brought about by the marriage of first-cousins.
The practice of marrying close relatives, which has been prohibited in the Judeo-Christian tradition since the days of Moses, was sanctioned by Muhammad and has been going on now for 50 generations (1,400 years) in the Muslim world.
This practice of inbreeding will never go away in the Muslim world since Muhammad is the ultimate example and authority on all matters, including marriage.

The massive inbreeding in Muslim culture may well have done virtually irreversible damage to the Muslim gene pool, including extensive damage to its intelligence, sanity, and health.
According to Sennels, close to half of all Muslims in the world are inbred. In Pakistan, the numbers approach 70%. Even in England, more than half of Pakistani immigrants are married to their first cousins, and in Denmark the number of inbred Pakistani immigrants is around 40%.
The numbers are equally devastating in other important Muslim countries: 67% in Saudi Arabia, 64% in Jordan and Kuwait, 63% in Sudan, 60% in Iraq, and 54% in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
According to the BBC, this Pakistani, Muslim-inspired inbreeding is thought to explain the probability that a British Pakistani family is more than 13 times as likely to have children with recessive genetic disorders. While Pakistanis are responsible for three percent of the births in the UK, they account for 33% of children with genetic birth defects.

-------------------------

Well Mr. Law, you see for thousands of years Muslims have been inbreeding themselves into absolute wackarrry while their self proclaimed dictatorily leaders have fomented hatred for Jews and Israel in order to blame all the Muslim problems on an 'external' cause, vice the internal stupidity of a culture that defaults to marrying your first cousin so your offspring are dumber and less genetically diverse.

Thus, their obsession with a tiny little country of very few people compared to the huge size and number of people in the rest of the middle east.

If they didn't have Jews to hate, they would have to pick something or someone else...

And the Jews left the Arab countries because the Arabs forced them to.

I don't understand why trolls are encouraged via responding to their crude and insulting messages. Doesn't that indicate to them that their fondest wishes have come true -- that every nonsensical word they write is being read? Aren't they being given precisely what they seek?

[Sara (Pal2Pal)]

I debated whether to quote this in its entirety or just give you this paragraph:

(3) God promised to bless those that blessed Israel and curse those that cursed them. Every government that has persecuted the Jews has fallen even to modern times. The Russian government, which has had a national policy of persecution of the Jews, is in shambles. However, the United States, who has always been the friend of the nation of Israel, has prospered greatly. No matter how intense has been the persecution of Israel, God has protected them. In 1967, in what is called the Six Day War, the tiny nation of Israel utterly destroyed all the combined efforts the Arab nations which surround them. It has been called one of the greatest military victories in history. Against impossible odds they repelled everything the Arab threw at them. They not only defected these forces, but took great amounts of land including in the south the Gaza Strip to the Nile River, the West Bank and all of Jerusalem. Surely God's protecting hand is upon this small nation.

Why is Israel blessed. Because God made a covenant with Abraham and God doesn't break promises.

THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT

God fulfilled His promise to Abraham:

(1) Abraham's descendants became the nation of Israel. Until this very day the child of Abraham, the Jews have remained an ethnically pure people. They, of all the peoples on earth, are the only people on earth that can make that claim. It seems it would be impossible for a people to remain ethnically pure for four thousand years. And in truth it would be, except that God made an unconditional promise to Abraham. The continuing fulfillment of that covenant can be seen today. The Jews have been scattered all over the earth in every continent. Almost every city in the western world has a population of Jews. For example, many peoples from all over the world have come and settled in the United States. However, most immigrants in a generation or two lose their ethnic identity and become simply "Americans". However, the Jews have remained a pure people and retained they identity as Jews. Clearly God has done this and is keeping His promise made to Abraham.

You can go read the rest, I hope you do.

And from Wiki:

To give Abraham's descendants all the land from the river (or wadi) of Egypt to the Euphrates. [Gen 15:18-21] Wadi means seasonal river in reference to the Nile Delta which flooded seasonally during those days. Later, this land came to be referred to as the Promised Land or the Land of Israel, however the land specified by the Abrahamic Covenant also includes the modern nations of Saudi Arabia, Omen, Yemen, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, UAE, and several other nations within the Middle East Region. To make Abraham a father of many nations and of many descendants and the land of Canaan as well as the entire middle-east to his descendant.[Gen 17:2-9]

The Covenant passed to Isaac and the Jews, but God did not leave Ishmael out, at Abraham's plea, and promised to make of his descendants great nations, just not Israel, that is the symbol of God's Covenant.

The Arab/Muslim world needs to get over their sibling rivalry and accept their own blessings and quit pining after Isaac's.

I acknowledge that, given the tone and karma of this thread, this is the mother of off topic posts, but given that TM is wont to start on occasion a thread on one type of health research study or another, I though this would be a good universal post in response to all health related threads (whether on JOM or other blogs):

"Nutrition science is the biggest mess there is. Apart from broad guidelines about fat and cholesterol, and some categories of foods, it is really hard to know how to interpret stuff like this, or about the benefits of alcohol, or the exact benefits of different styles of exercising, or how different fats influence the body and so on. I guess a large part of the problem is doing adequate large sample studies on human subjects, since I assume there are good scientists around, but the combination of contradictory studies with abysmal quality of popular reporting on the studies makes the entire enterprise a crapshoot from the perspective of a layman who doesn’t feel like spending tens of hours doing independent verification of the reports."

That sums it up pretty concisely on the problem of living one's life by studies. See LUN (via Instapundit) for the thread from which this quote came.

Bush IS the law is soo right. Why should the Republicans rebuild anything when Obama pretty much does Bush's bidding. Bush Is the law when it comes to Obama making decisions.

Obama enjoys his inner BUSH:

Osama - assasinate in cold blood. Waterboarding too good for him, smoke that MF'r
Pakistan - Bomb into the stone age. Realease the bombs on wedding parties and funerals.
Libya - Start an illegal war for fun.
GITMO - Keep that hellhole open. Great place for suicides...wink, wink
Indefinite Detention - YUP, Bush right again.
Wiretaps - Gotta have it.
Patriot Act - Absolutely. Sign the Obamster up!
Bush Tax cuts - Obama says HELL YES, gimme some of that tax cut fever.

I'm feelin' the third Bush term allright.

Obama just needs to reveal his "BUSH Is The Law" T-Shirt!
