Kings Of Comedy

We don't normally look for laughs at a Sino-Japanese summit, but this picture and headline are hilarious:

Frosty Meeting at APEC Could Be Start of Thaw Between China and Japan

And when they say "Frosty" they aren't talking about a Beer Summit:

 

"Sorry to hear about your dog dying."

"Thanks, I hear your cat is circling the drain, too."

Well, Obama is at the APEC meeting too, so that should turn the frowns into smiles. Or chuckles, anyway.

"Kerry/Obummer have f#@kall to do with oil prices. The KSA is protecting market share in China and punishing Putin."

This Reuters piece, outlining a second pipeline deal between China and Russia, supports the argument regarding the KSA ceding primacy as the swing producer controlling energy pricing. The Eurasian Coprosperity Sphere doesn't want the oily sheiks in charge of much of anything but camels.

Great breakdown on the wisconsin race--the middle class swings to Walker ..

Both Alicia Colon (Jewish Weekly) and Lifson (American Thinker) analyze the Hispanic vote and argue it's not a monolithic vote--many Hispanics are just as opposed to blanker amnesty as most of us are. Lifson focuses on a NM race near the border.

[NKontheNovreboot]

Putin/ChiCom oil deals are is an interesting game of Liars' Poker. Putin, OPEC and the KSA have lost control of oil pricing because of North American production (not just Canadian Tar sands, horizontal drilling and fracking, and PEMEX opening up to foreign investment, it's all of them combined) so that gives China the option to whipsaw the KSA and Putin on pricing as the both look to protect market share, but China is slowing its growth in economic output (7% GDP increase is the new 12%) and oil demand increases has slowed, will that China rate slowdown be secular? Putin can abuse the EUTopians and Obummer, but the ChiComs are another matter. The KSA can absorb the most price pain in the near term, but they are clearing cutting prices to maintain share as the USA will continue to cut crude imports, and become a net refined product exporter. Impossible to predict where and how this Big Game goes.

The American and Russian presidents have publicly revealed their conflicting visions of future development not only in Europe (where Moscow and Washington continue to lock horns over Ukraine), but in Asia, as well.

In the buildup to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Beijing, US President Barack Obama made it clear that he had no plans to meet his Russian counterpart.

He went on to say that he also likely won’t meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Brisbane, Australia where both leaders will attend the G20 summit in mid-November.

At the same time, Obama reiterated his support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal Washington is negotiating with 11 nations in the region, excluding China and Russia.

On the eve of the APEC summit in Beijing, Putin highlighted his opposition to the TPP.

One does not need to be a genius to understand that plans to build Pacific economic zones without the region’s two biggest powers – Russia and China – are doomed.

“It is clear that the economic influence of the United States and the West in general will inevitably decline in the coming years,” commented the Moscow-based Expert magazine, Russia’s leading weekly specializing in economic analysis.

“But the [Obama] administration and the European Union seem to have chosen the costliest and the most painful way to manage this process,”

This is likely what Mellman was looking at when he declared Democrats were not likely to be back in charge any time soon:

Hispanic Republicans won state-house races in west San Antonio (63 percent Hispanic), Kingsville (64 percent Hispanic), and Pasadena (75 percent Hispanic), while the mostly Anglo suburbanites of Round Rock and northwest Dallas also sent Hispanic Republicans to the state house.

Maybe Mexican-Americans don’t want to be condescended to by politicians, either.

[NKontheNovreboot]

GMax@10:48-- that is UNpossible, Williamson must be wrong. I've learned here from some commenters that ethnic block voting is genetic and immutable, there is no way for ethnic voters to be persuaded to vote their own economic and national interests above ethnic identity.

"If you think that President Obama is lonely and bereft now, just wait.

Dear Abby,

My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.

Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's on his knees 5 times a day with Muslims.

Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy!

Can you help?

Signed,

Lost

Dear Lost,

Suck it up and stop whining, Michelle. You're getting to live in the White House for free, travel the world, and have others pay for everything for you. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with the idiot for 2 more years.

Signed,

Abby

[maryrose]

Unfortunately the handwriting is on the wall even if democrats like Wasserman Schultz and Obama won't realize it.
They lost big time because their message and policies stink and they are unable to fool people any longer.
We will not impeach Obama but we will let him twist in the wind as the loser he is for the next two years. after that when he has totally destroyed the Democrat brand we will elect a smart conservative Republican like Walker with a Hispanic or an African American as a running mate.

[Cecil Turner]

Weekly Standard's Irwin Stelzer suggests Obama ought to reestablish his relevance by implementing a virtual carbon tax on Chinese goods. Initially I thought that'd run afoul of WTO principles, but I see they have a "safety valve" for environmental protection, so it'd probably wash. Unfortunately for Obama, it'd require some canastas to implement, and those have been primarily characterized by their absence in this admin.

[DebinNC]

"Republicans tend to support trade deals as a way to boost the U.S. economy, and GOP leaders have spoken positively about giving Obama the power to submit a final deal to an up-or-down vote, preventing last-minute amendments that could sink it."

Has BOzo ever submitted anything to Congress in a form in which a vote could be taken? I only remember lots of talk of nebulous plans that never appeared.

Kingsville (64 percent Hispanic),

Kingsville is my old hometown. I tell ya, the middle class Hispanics DO NOT want lawlessness, drugs, lousy schools & chaos in their communities.
Lots of the ranches that are being overrun down there are OWNED by Hispanics for heaven's sake.
And who exactly is Hispanic??? It is a big melting pot down there with the races...nobody cares except the crap Dems.

It really makes me sick that rich, agenda driven politicians refuse to enforce our laws & expect American cities & communities to shut up & pay taxes. It is disgusting.

You really have to toss in the Caspian play plus the deepwater plays in Brazil and Angola plus the Russian Arctic plays plus the Israeli gas play plus the Australian gas play before contemplating the leveling of worldwide demand due to increased efficiency and then contemplating the probable trajectory of energy prices. I agree short term prediction is impossible but that's really a function of the state player's need for the quick and ready necessary to fund illusions of stability.

[Miss Marple]

Cecil,

He would be unable to come to a decision about it. Look how long it took him to get bin Laden, and I am still pretty sure that Hillary and Pannetta made the decision for him.

I had customers like this when I sold furniture. They would want a new sofa, but would take home fabric, bring it back, take more, come back, have me come to the house and measure, come in and try different styles, MORE fabric home, etc.

I even had one guy who wanted me to GUARANTEE that the color would always be in style!

Obama is paralyzed with the fear of making a mistake, possibly because he feels like if he made one, it would show that he isn't always the smartest person in the world.

That is also why he lets others do stuff like write the healthcare bill. If he has someone to blame then all is well if things go bad.

It is a very dysfunctional way to operate, but that is what we have. And it will only get worse over the next two years.

[Iggy]

From the TNR piece;

Jarrett’s job may be nothing less than to reflect the most authentic version of Barack Obama back at himself.

That is exactly the opposite of her job. Narcissists look for those who reflect back what Ns want the world to see which is the least authentic version of themselves; hence bizarre cheerleading comments like
" 'Mr. President, I don’t understand how you’re not getting eighty-five percent of the vote.' The other Obama aides in the cabin looked around in disbelief before concluding that she’d been earnest."

It is telling of how we got in this mess with these idiots that in a world falling apart 75% of the article is about who was or was not sensitive and placating enough of the LBGT "community".

[Beasts of England]

Spot on, Iggy.

And Happy Birthday, Teenage H+R!

[Iggy]

Ben Domenech reaches the same conclusion I did reading the TNR piece on Jarret: the Jarret/Barry crony corporatist model which has so disappointed the starry eyed True Believer left is not a betrayal of their principles, but the inevitable result of their all powerful, arrogant central planning thrust.

The only time a leftist state has ever and will ever "whither away", rather than becoming our dictatorial master, is when the people rise up and strangle it or when some neighbor it has been smashing, smashes it back twice as hard.

[Beasts of England]

It's extraordinary to see that the dems are unlikely to make an honest review of why they took such a slattering, but let's review:

Immigration: fail

Racism: Scott + Love
ObamaCare: Rate Increases + SCOTUS
Teh Ghey Marriage: SCOTUS
Climate Change: Fail

Other than that, they're in great shape!

They also had a once in a generation tabula rasa candidate in BHO and the added benefit of his racial trump card. Cankles and Lieawatha can't begin to generate that level of excitement. And they're old and rather unnattractive. Sorry, but that matters, viz. Jack Kennedy.

This showed up courtesy of a liberal Facebook acquaintance:

http://kstreet607.com/2013/06/21/a-canadians-view-on-our-disrespect-of-president-obamas-presidency/

"There was a time not so long ago when Americans, regardless of their political stripes, rallied round their president. Once elected, the man who won the White House was no longer viewed as a republican or democrat, but the President of the United States. The oath of office was taken, the wagons were circled around the country’s borders and it was America versus the rest of the world with the president of all the people at the helm.

Suddenly President Barack Obama, with the potential to become an exceptional president has become the glaring exception to that unwritten, patriotic rule."

marlene-when I was a kid we had been at a cousin's wedding and it was late at night, we had grandma in late 70s with us, my newborn sister, all on a country road. Large deer comes out of nowhere and hits front of car.

People were stopping not to offer help, but to ask where the deer was. Finally someone offered to take us to their home while the car was being towed. My dad, who had hunted big game in Alaska and the Yukon, knew exactly where that deer was. I told the people who helped us and then they strang it up in their barn.

I remember it was an unusually big buck and that we were apparently very lucky it had not tried to jump towards windshield.

He told. And it was cold that night. All in all we must have looked rather pathetic. I was maybe 9.

[peter]

Marlene at 12:05 that is so antlernormative of you.

Obama is delusional. Start passing legislation from the House to the Senate and ignore his hissy fit on Immigration. His tactic is to stall progress and blame repubs. Make him veto 20 some bills and then go on every communication forum you can find and point out his intransience and stubbornness and unwillingness to govern and make progress. Hold town meetings in largely Hispanic districts and give out information on how Amnesty will impact the local residents.

[Porchlight]

I've learned here from some commenters that ethnic block voting is genetic and immutable, there is no way for ethnic voters to be persuaded to vote their own economic and national interests above ethnic identity.

Abbott got 44% of Hispanic votes, IIRC about the same that W got in 2004 nationwide. Yes, some Hispanics do vote Republican, but the majority don't. Maybe we can increase the percentage of those that do, which would be great. But we can't do that by pandering to the ones who vote Democrat and passing amnesty.

Amnesty will deliver mostly Dem voters to the Dems. Newly-legal Hispanic voters are much more likely to vote Dem than Hispanics who are native born or whose families have been in the US a long time. They will not thank the GOPers who voted for it by voting for them. They will vote for the ones that promise them more free stuff and an easier route to getting their extended families over here too. There is no getting around that. Hence the Obama threats.

[Beasts of England]

And, right on cue, I got an email from Obama with their agenda going forward:

Gun control
Marriage equality
Minimum wage
Climate change
Immigration
Women's rights

Oh, yeah! They heard the voters last week. Keep f*cking that chicken, Barry!! No skin off my ass...

"A generation of Democrats lost in the Obama era"

The leftists were killing off generations of Americans long before the Obama era.

"57 million plus since 1973."6.900,000 by Planned Parenthood alone"

http://www.numberofabortions.com/

Think that the leftists lies to get Obamacare passed were the first lies?

"Neither of the two women whose cases were originally brought to the Supreme Court had abortions. Norma McCorvey (Roe) had claimed she was gang raped in order to gain sympathy for her attempt to have an abortion in Texas. Her lawyer, Sarah Weddington, knew the rape story was a lie when she argued the case before the Supreme Court, but she chose to keep that information from the court and the public. The truth did not surface until 1988, when Norma McCorvey herself confessed to the lie. In 1995, McCorvey joined the pro-life movement.

Sandra Cano (Doe) had appealed to a lawyer for help in reclaiming her children, who had been taken from her at a time that she was unable to provide for them. Attorney Margie Pitts Hames siezed the opportunity to use the unwitting Cano, who was pregnant at the time, in the effort to legalize abortion in Georgia, even though Cano had never wanted an abortion."

http://prolifeaction.org/faq/abortion.php#roe

Leftists lie about everything all the time.
Now the nation is told that we need to allow illegal immigration to bring in young workers.
The reason we are missing millions of young workers who were already going to be legal citizens is because the leftists killed them.

[NKontheNovreboot]

Opposing Amnesty and demographic voting trends are different issues. Amnesty affects millions of low income individuals who will immediately jump on the Free Stuff Army roster. Existing voters, and future voters from a sane immigration policy are, or should be, a very different issue.

[Bori]

Porch,

Let's assume that everything you say about Hispanics voting is correct. Here's is why it will make little difference.

The Hispanic that mostly vote Dem are already living in largely Dem areas. Any increase on those numbers will not affect the National picture.

49% of Hispanics live in CA and TX if we add the other 3 states that comprise the top 5, the % increases to 80%+.

If we look at the 5 states with the highest % of Hispanics, New Mexico-Texas-California-Arizona-Nevada only California has a Dem Governor and only New Mexico and CA have Dem state legislature.

Obviously, something is preventing those state from turning Blue. Source Pew Research.

[Porchlight]

Iggy, I think deep down they get it, but many are playing the short game and working for their big donor masters.

The picture isn't complete yet but Hispanics and AAs voting Republican may have made a big difference for Perdue, Deal, Tillis and Scott. A couple of percentage points in the GOP direction was huge. Of course this would be harder to duplicate in Presidential years.

Can I just say once again how grateful I am to divine Providence that we did so well last Tuesday? I was hopeful but so expecting to be burned. What a relief.

[Carol Herman]

China never built any statue to Nixon. But Nixon did "dump" Taiwan; which had the "china seat" at the UN. In favor of the RED CHINA.

It really was called Red China.

As to the Japanese, (as small a country as they are), had gone into China and took control. The Chinese at that time was divided into "war lord" zones. Five of them.

When WW2 came around, we brought humongous supplies "through china" for MacArthur's Pacific Theater.

It was here that Mao STOLE everything! Our cross country shipments would just disappear.

After WW2 ended Mao used the military arsenal he stole to conquer the 4 other war loads. And, he united the country. Mostly peasants. Mao said intellectuals were useless. (That it would take 100 working peasants just to create food for the intellectuals.) So some intellectuals were killed. And, others "re-educated."

The chinese still believe this stuff.

[Porchlight]

Yes, Bori, and to some extent the same is true for AAs. The states in the South with the highest AA percentages are still red.

But Dems cannot win statewide, in the states where they do win statewide, without the Hispanic and AA vote. Same goes for Presidents too, obviously.

I'm not sure what you're saying "will make little difference." Amnesty?

[NKontheNovreboot]

There was talk here last week of the ChiComs unveiling new military hardware during Obummer's visit (5th Gen Fighter --CHECK) and doing everything possible to humiliate Obummer now that they have gazprom supply locked up and Obummer has been tossed in the crapper by voters-- THE Plum Sauce colored bus boy smock they made Obummer wear-- CHECK!!!!

From the admin's talking points re LoLynch:

One of Lynch’s main strengths that positions her well for Senate confirmation is that she would be a fresh face in the administration and someone who is not too closely tied to the Obama administration and doesn’t have a record of defending Obama’s policies.

In time, the "Hispanic bloc" will be found to have had precisely the same basis in reality as the SkyDragon. Like the SkyDragon, its existence was found to be necessary in order to provide a scientistic rationale as "proof" of the inevitable destination of permanent majority status for the progressive Fascist clown corps.

The Black Bloc actually exists and it is as impenetrable and unworthy of pursuit as the Irish Bloc which originally gave us the stinking Blue Hellholes which still specialize in plantation life.

Those with a Spanish linguistic heritage are quite capable of making appropriate political choice without any inducement other than proof of a lack of artificial barriers to political advancement. As Bori notes, voters in Texas, Nevada and New Mexico are providing all the proof necessary.

[NKontheNovreboot]

[Porchlight]

Yes, RickB. It is of course possible, although the majority of Hispanics still vote D.

Are you saying we shouldn't oppose amnesty, then?

Bori asked a few threads back if there was any evidence to support the idea that amnesty would create mostly Dem voters. To me it is self-evident that it would, but again I am feeling like we are heading into bizarro world if there are a substantial number of JOMers who think otherwise.

Would anyone be willing to put money on the idea that *enough* Hispanics could be convinced to vote GOP to, say, win the White House in 2016? I sure wouldn't. Right now it seems possible, and worth working on, but still largely a pipe dream in the short term and impossible if we get amnesty.

If the GOP can't convince enough Republicans to not vote Libertarian I do not hold out too much hope for them to switch from poorly managed politics-politics and dive into the art of race-politics.

Maybe they should try an "America First" strategy instead of a "Hyphenated Americans" goose egg.

The same political group that bought you the lies that produced the Obamacare disaster and the Wade Roe murder racket have been feeding us the lies that making voters show ID at the polls for years.

"Lynch applauded the Justice Department for bringing suit against her home state of North Carolina for installing voter ID laws."

That statement alone should disqualify Loretta Lynch from being considered to be the next AG, imo
Sen Graham's statement that "Even Senator Lindsey Graham, a member of the Judiciary Committee, said "she seems to be a solid choice" and is "qualified." is 100 % BS IMO. LUN

Help me out here, Porch. If O succeeds in granting these people amnesty, he still hasn't granted them citizebship (and I don't believe he cam without legislation, though I don't know). So they'renot going to be voting Dem or anything else.

Right?

"Would anyone be willing to put money on the idea that *enough* Hispanics could be convinced to vote GOP to, say, win the White House in 2016? "

Porchlight,

Sure. "Enough" isn't all that many wrt Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado and the ground work is close to complete in New Mexico and is complete in Nevada. Colorado remains a bit problematic but it's not due to bloc voting by Hispanics.

Amnesty is not about the Hispanic vote, it's about the maintenance of the illusion of an inevitable majority based upon demographic trends which stopped trending twenty years ago. The illusion is necessary to keep prog idiots writing checks.
