Insanity.

Not surprising, but Jeffrey Sachs says it better than most.

“Hillary has been much attacked for the deaths of US diplomats in Benghazi, but her tireless promotion of the overthrow Muammar Qaddafi by NATO bombing is the far graver disaster. Hillary strongly promoted NATO-led regime change in Libya, not only in violation of international law but counter to the most basic good judgment. After the NATO bombing, Libya descended into civil war while the paramilitaries and unsecured arms stashes in Libya quickly spread west across the African Sahel and east to Syria. The Libyan disaster has spawned war in Mali, fed weapons to Boko Haram in Nigeria, and fueled ISIS in Syria and Iraq. In the meantime, Hillary found it hilarious to declare of Qaddafi: “We came, we saw, he died.””

As the article states, Republicans love to yap about Clinton’s email scandal, but what of the disastrous Libyan intervention itself?  U.S. missiles wrecked that country, transforming it into blood-soaked chaos, and the supposed scandal is that Hillary used a private server?

From Reason.com:

“Feminist author Gloria Steinem had some curiously gendered things to say about women during a recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher: she accused young females of being insufficiently radical and only interested in Bernie Sanders because “the boys are with Bernie.”

“When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘where are the boys?’” said Steinem. “The boys are with Bernie.”

The irony was not lost on Maher. “Oh, now if I said that… you’d swat me,” he said.”

And I thought that behavior such as shaming your gender into supporting a candidate of the same gender, regardless of issues, was what feminists wanted to move away from.

The worthless parasite posted her personal phone number, along with “embarrassing” pictures, in an attempt to publicly humiliate her.  Police unions, as all public-sector unions, corrupt the services of the departments they’re strangling.  The employees become loyal to the union, instead of the people.  But since these unions have a stranglehold on the public sector, they don’t have to worry about their host dying of asphyxiation any time soon.  The customers, taxpayers, are forced to pay for the product, “government”.  In the private sector, this type of predatory unionism is held in check by the fact that, if they sabotage a company a step too far, they’ll lose the customers that voluntarily buy the products or services that company provides.  Not so in the public sector, which is why it is the height of folly to allow unionism of such institutions as the police, teachers, the TSA, et cetera.  The newly unionized minions become a voting/lobbying bloc for an expanded Police State.

CATO’s Jim Harper discusses the evasiveness that DHS officials engage in when selling their ridiculous, totalitarian, REAL ID as something other than a national ID card.

What did they expect after banging on this guy’s door at 1am?  Should they really have been surprised he came to the door armed?  Being cops, they had to have known that his wife and child were asleep inside, so their behavior is nothing more than the reckless disregard of innocent lives.  Then again, the Police State selects for low-IQ thugs as unquestioning servants.

…in a practice known as “eyewashing“.

He can’t believe people still fall for their lies.

So he doesn’t drag us into World War 3.  “What do you want me to do, go to war with the Russians?” Kerry supposedly told an aid worker at a Syria donor conference in London.  I would have no problem with that at all.  In fact, I’d go buy him his own gun and drop him off in the middle of Moscow.

As I’ve said below, the War on Terror bureaucracy needs terrorism, threats, attacks, etc., to justify its existence.  As long it can keep the populace in a state of fear over the threat of an attack, the tax dollars and power grabs will continue to flow.  But since there’s no terrorism actually happening, this bureaucracy has to find something to do.  One activity is the creation of a massive “terrorist” blacklist.  It’s called the World-Check database, which happens to be a private company, but it claims that its clients include over 300 government and intelligence agencies, and 49 of the 50 biggest banks.

Governments love these naughty-or-nice lists.  The No-Fly list is another egregious example, which contains the name of over one million Americans!
