Obama Kenya Trip Sets Off Gay Rights Debate in Africa
JOHANNESBURG — President Obama has not even left for his trip to Africa this week, but he is already getting a lot of advice about what he should — or should not — say about gay rights after he lands.
Some politicians in Kenya have warned against bringing up the topic at all during his visit. Alarmist articles in Nigeria’s news media have argued that Mr. Obama will press the continent to accept same-sex marriage. Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president and the current head of the African Union, mockingly said that he would propose to Mr. Obama.
Obama has been down this road before:
On his last trip to Africa in 2013, Mr. Obama was seen as wagging his finger at Africans on gay rights during a news conference with Senegal’s president, Macky Sall.
Mr. Sall swung back, saying that laws governing gay rights were Senegal’s alone to decide. The United States should respect that choice, he added, just as Senegal, which had long abolished the death penalty, respected America’s position on that matter. The comments quickly established the script for other African leaders.
“Obama should talk about it but not the way he did last time, which was too blunt, like a general speaking down to a young soldier,” said Ndeye Kebe, president of Women’s Smile, a lesbian rights group in Senegal.
“There were repercussions all over Africa,” she added, contending that she and many other African activists subsequently faced greater harassment.
At least they didn't bring up gun control. Or closing Guantanamo.
It's Threadapalooza Wednesday. Woo hoo

We're back from a few days Downeast. My brother and sister-in-law rented a cottage this week and invited us to stay. The guys were supposed to do some sea kayaking,but it was so darn foggy! We picked rocks yesterday at a sheltered beach and thank goodness hubby had a yellow rain jacket,he would have been lost in the fog. The Maine coast is so beautiful and rugged Downeast,Mother Nature in all her glory,including fog. The contrast of the struggling lobstermen living in modest if not ramshackle homes to the beautiful homes built on the craggy ledges is a reminder that hard scrabble people populate this state.
Posted by: Marlene | July 22, 2015 at 04:33 PM
It is ironic and even humorous how Trump can change the "criticism" like Ms. Lindsey's and Perry's back on them. Except for Carson and possibly Fiorina, it wouldn't surprise me that every career politician in the mix has at one time gone hat in hand to The Donald for a donation or endorsement or both.
I think that may have been part of calculus in deciding to get into the field: That he had a history with the others that he could use to defend or promote himself and his schtick!
That upcoming Fox debate will be a doozy and if Ailes doesn't let Fiorina in then he should be subject to pitchforks and a gibbet.

I read it Miss M. I agree with you that it's tricky to figure out the impact of 3rd party candidates, and it's not always what people think. Perot may have taken as much from Clinton as from Bush 41, and also likely got a lot from people who would otherwise not have voted. Turnout spiked in '92 by about 5 percentage points. John Anderson was a liberal Republican who probably took more from Carter than Reagan (and in any case had no impact on the outcome).

Nelson Rockefeller, George Romney and William Scranton refused to support Goldwater in an early show of GOPe spite. Likewise John Anderson against Reagan, which is an obscure historical footnote.
But conservatives are told that they have to support whatever RINO Top Men anoint or Jen Rubin, K-Pork and Dame Peggy will say nasty things about them on their way to the fainting couches.

I get why Perry wants to try to distinguish himself from the rest of the field, but he also seems to be self-destructing again.
Perry is against nativism? A lot of people are obviously for it. Even some conservatives.
But isn't that a red herring? Did Trump argue against legal immigration?
This seems dumb to me.

MarkO,
Cavuto about to ask the same question of Rick Perry (Will you support the Donald if he wins the nomination?)
Cavuto: If he were your Nominee, the Republican Party's Nominee, Governor would you support him?
Perry: There's a lot of people who are going to be uhhh, I think that have a better chance of being our Nominee before Donald Trump.
Cavuto: I understand that. And I understand you're hoping that, But if he were the nominee, would you support him?
Perry: look it, we can say...
Cavuto: Would you support him as the Nominee? Would you support him over Hillary Clinton?
Perry: We can say that about a whole lot of people. I'm a Republican. I'm going to support the Republican Nominee. Donald Trump's got a long way to go to make people really believe that he's a Conservative. I mean, c'mon, Single Payer Healthcare, and he's running as a Republican? Where's that coming from, Neil?

More Breaking IRS News on FOX via Judicial Watch. You may have already covered it (I'm doing catch-up) but Gerri Willis says:
Willis: The IRS used donor lists of Tax exempt Organizations to target them for audit. What they wanted to do was cross check those donors lists with Gift Tax filings to se if they filed Gift Tax on those filings. Among the 2 organizations in particular that the IRS tracked and looked into, high scrutiny on, The US Chamber of Commerce, and Karl Rove's crossroads GPS...This information just out tonight.Also there are suggestions of bias in these findings...
Also breaking, a second head FAA Official (Head of FAA Labor and Public Relations) has resigned in protest at how disgusted he was at the FAA's willingness to break the Law in hiring practices pushed by FAA Senior Management.

Trump has 24% in the last poll - average of 18% in the last 5 polls. In a very split field, Perry is not trying to peel away Trump supporters - he's trying to work the other 76-82% to peel away Trump haters - to get to or stay in that magical top 10 for the debate (you know, cuz perry be so good at debatin' an' all, lol).
And whatever else - hey look, now we're talking about him.
Remember - while there is some seriously fervent Trump love right now for his flamethrower approach to DC politics - there is much much more (albeit less fervent) Trump revulsion. An no it is not just GOPe RINO wimps who feel that way. Not by a long shot.
62% of Americans say they would never consider voting for him, compared to low to mid 40s for just about everyone else, R or D - which is basically just a normal partisan breakdown.

I would never vote for Trump because I do not think he has the temperament for foreign policy, which often requires things like humility, reserve, and silence. I think Trump shoots from the hip, which is sometimes entertaining but not something I want to see with a commander in chief.

Fox Reporter James Rosen: Yes, Brett, one of the individuals who will be removed from the Sanctions list of the United Nations and the EU over the next 8 years, is Qasim Sulaimani, Head of the Iranian Military's Quds force. A figure squarely on the radar of Army Chief of Staff, General Raymond Odierno:
Clip played of US General Odierno: "Qasim Sulaimani, is the one who's been exporting malign activities throughout the Middle East for some time now. He's absolutely responsible for killing many Americans. In fact I would say that the last 2 years I was there the majority of our casualties came from his surrogates, not Sunni or Al Quada."

daddy, did you learn all that at UNC?
No MarkO,
But at Chapel Hill though, (like you earlier this morning) I did learn about snorting Nitrous Oxide, along with my twin go to boys from the 19th Century, Charles Darwin and Mark Twain.
MarkO: Sorry to be so negative today. I blame the dentist. I thought I saw Hillary under the nitrous, but it was only the angel of death.
"Gas" Charles Darwin and Nitrous Oxide:
When older brother Ras (Erasmus) took up chemistry, Charles did too. (@1817)...A revolution was taking place in Chemistry. One of the pioneers was Joseph Priestly (good friend of Charle's grandfather BTW) ...the Darwin brothers knew all about Priestly---their own uncle Josiah Wedgewood had funded Priestly's research...the brothers took over a toolshed in the backyard. This was their official "Laboratory" for performing simple experiments as outlined in their copy of "William Henry's Elements of Experiment Chemestry."...Their favorite occupation was to set off explosions, but they were also ambitious...They hoped to isolate a new element like Humphry Davy who several years earlier had discovered sodium and potassium...
They did succeed in manufacturing Nitrous Oxide, or "laughing Gas", first discovered by Priestly. Taking "laughing Gas" was a craze at the time. Charle's nickname became "Gas"...
Read the whole thing:)
Now Darwin was a big snorter in days before Nitrous Oxide was used to mask pain.
Twain: came upon it as the Gas was just becoming experimental in dulling Dental Pain. In consequence, he decided to go to a famous Dentist at the time and se if he could subtly verify a story said about the dentist by pretending to be a patient in need of Dental treatment. The tables were turned on Twain, as the Dentist worked upon Twain, didn't provide the answers Twain was searching for, and then charged Twain an outrageous amount of money for the Nitrous and services rendered. Can't fined the story right now but i's published about 1870's in some New England Newspaper.
And of course I snorted my fare share of Nitrous Oxide in College, so welcome to the club MarkO!

So James Hansen is now saying a 10 foot sea level rise over the next 50 years.
How far out there is he? He's so far out there that one of the quotes in the article in response to Hansen's forthcoming paper...

IIRC, it turned out that PP was not equipped in *any* of their murder mills to conduct the mammograms Komen supposedly paid them to do. To help the dust settle, Komen went back to funding the killers.
When Komen got hinky about funding the death squad, the donks quickly mobilized. In Cleveland they dispatched Zach "Multiple DUIs" Reed to go on the local morning shows and yammer like a retard with the DTs. I was watching in stunned disbelief.

Here's an odd story from the Japan Times that doesn't fit the narrative, so I'm surprised it's reprinted in our local ADN rag: Why Japan's brown bears shifted toward a vegetarian diet
Story tells us that Japan's northern Brown Bear population, over the last 100 years, has switched from carnivore diets to herbivore diets, yet their population has not decreased and they seem to be doing fine. Scientists believe the shift in diet is due to humans causing changes in their environment.
That said, it tends to buttress the idea that bears are flexible and can roll with the punches of climate change. That's anathema to the "Save The Polar Bear" movement.
If the headline said that bears were negatively effected by human induced changes to their environment, then I suspect there'd by tons of comments announcing "See, we told you so." But since that isn't what the story says, there are currently zero comments.
