HALF-FULL REPORT 08/10/12

"Spec-Ops."  A very elite term, applied to the best of the best in our military, the various Special Operations commands such as the Army Rangers, Green Berets, MARSOC, Delta Force, and of course, the Navy SEALs. 

TTPer USN Capt. (ret) Larry Bailey was not only a SEAL, he was the guy in charge of training them, the Commandant of the Naval Special Warfare Center at Coronado, California.  He’s as disgusted at what Zero is doing to our country as we all are – and Larry has decided to take action.

Larry is uniting veterans of all US military Spec-Op commands to oppose Zero’s anti-American/anti-military policies in an organization called Special Operations Speaks – or "SOS" – a joint task force dedicated to Zero’s defeat in November.  All Spec-Ops folks are welcome – and their supporters. 

That means any patriotic American – like you.  Here’s how to support SOS.  Or you can participate in their Operation Street Corner. Sign up for their Email Alerts.  Help however you can.  Spec-Ops is going after Zero and you want to be part of it.

Edd Forke is bugging me to disclose who Romney’s VP pick is.  But as my friend John Fund says, those who know aren’t talking and those who are talking don’t know.  So here’s the truth:  there is no VP pick.  There will be, sometime within the next two weeks, but Mitt hasn’t made up his mind yet.

Mitt’s refusal to be pinned down infuriates the leftie BM big shots.  Brian Williams, NBC News’ airhead anchor got so frustrated during an interview with Romney (7/25) he tried to bully him, asking, "Governor, everyone expects you to name an ‘incredibly boring white guy’ as your running mate – what say you?"  Romney smiled, assumed a puzzled look, and replied, "You told me you weren’t available."

We’re going to take a break here before getting into all the Washington craziness of the week, and get out into the world to discuss a term that’s a real eye-opener:  Peak China.

Two important articles appeared this week (8/09), cogently asserting that China has peaked and is heading downhill as an economic and political giant. 

Superpower Denied by Dr. Minxin Pei, Professor of Government at Claremont College, explains how China’s decline really began in 2008, as its economy lost all momentum after the global meltdown.  Today, the "toxic mix" of massive bad loans in the banking system, demographic disaster, and environmental horrors – water and air pollution cause 750,000 premature deaths a year now in China, according to World Bank study – are overwhelming the government’s capacity to cope.

TTP old timers may recall this was predicted back in May 2004 in China’s Three No’s – No Water, No Wives, No Banks.

After reading Prof. Pei, follow it up with Ambrose Evans-Pritchard’s Hard Landing for China.  "The hard landing has happened," he quotes Charles Dumas from Lombard Street Research. "We don’t believe official data. We think GDP slowed to a 1% rate in the second quarter."

1% GDP growth for China?  That’s OMG.  That’s over a cliff.  And all the Chicoms can think to do is print more money and build more superhighways in the Gobi.

The threat of China being an economic superpower eclipsing America may be over.  In fact, the threat will be over if Romney takes the reins and lets America’s entrepreneurs run free.

By the way – do you know the difference between Obama supporters and Romney supporters?  Romney’s sign their checks on the front.  Obama’s sign theirs on the back.

Latest advice from South of the Border:  "Jesus loves you" – a very nice thing to hear in a church, a very bad thing to hear in a Mexican prison.

When a friend told Mitt Romney the other day that for the millionth time, Obama had claimed, "I inherited this mess from Bush!" Romney shook his head and said, "If he thinks that’s bad, look at what I’m going to inherit from him…"

If this isn’t the best medical research report in history for a husband with a pregnant wife – and yes, for his wife, too – I can’t imagine what that could be.

A little frivolity, folks, before we jump into the pig slop.  If you Google "Harry Reid pederast" you’ll get (as of today, 8/10) 479,000 hits.  The Urban Dictionary now has two definitions of "Harry Reid" as a noun.  The first has been around for a while: 

"A Harry Reid is a sexual position where you climb on top and then do absolutely nothing."  To this, a second definition has been added:

"A Harry Reid is an unofficial rap sheet of alleged pederasty and sexual abuse of minors by anonymous sources that may not exist."

Example:  "Jerry’s not someone we want to hire. He’s got a Harry Reid a mile long. The allegations are out there, the burden of proof is on him to refute them."

Lost Harry has become such a joke he has scandalized even the Moonbats.  The über-leftie Mother Jones site this week (8/07) called him and his accusations against Romney "contemptible."

IBD’s Michael Ramirez responded to Harry’s saying "the word is out" regarding his evidence-free accusation thusly:

Deeper into the slop.  Jack Kelly gives you the rundown on the flat-out evil of Zero’s "Romney killed my wife" ad.  My friend Quinn Hillyer at the American Spectator was so outraged he wrote:  Bill Burton and Obama Are Sick Human Beings.  Quinn is absolutely right.

The good news is that the ad has blown up in Zero’s face.  The London Daily Mail detailed the deception for the world to see, and linked to CNN’s calling it (mildly – this is CNN) "not accurate," and to the WaPo which called it a "whopper of a lie."  Fox revealed that the lying steelworker, Joe Soptic, was in two official Zero Campaign ads in May.

Today (8/10). American Crossroads hit back with a devastating ad, "Cancer," calling on Zero to denounce his PAC’s scurrilous charge.  Note it ends with John Dean’s famous line from his Watergate testimony:  "We have a cancer close to the Presidency that’s growing."

************

Harvey Weinstein is a big (in more ways than one) Hollywood producer, the kind they call a "Mogul."  On Monday (8/06), he hosted a "celebrity fundraiser" for Zero.  People that you’d be embarrassed to shake hands with, like Jerry Springer and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, paid $35,800 to attend.

It was at Harvey’s home in Westport, Connecticut, where actress Joanne Woodward lives.  Though she’s 82 and ailing, Harvey finagled her into coming for her "star power."  She was married to Paul Newman for 50 years, from 1958 until his death in 2008.  Thus, in his intro of Zero, Harvey gushed, "He’s the Paul Newman of American presidents."

This shows you how being a Democrat can turn a bright guy’s brain into clueless mush.  Most anyone under 40 hasn’t a clue who Paul Newman is or was.  Us older folks of course do – he was an extraordinary actor in many films we grew up with.  But Harvey doesn’t understand that the average person today thinks Paul Newman is a salad dressing.  To them, this Hollywood bigshot said:

"Barack Obama is the salad dressing of American presidents."  Good move, Harvey.

Speaking of clueless – how about the Dem geniuses who arranged for hyper-anti-Semite and poster boy for a failed Dem Presidency, Jimmy Carter, to speak at the Dem Convention in Charlotte?

It’s amazing how the Dems have screwed up their convention while Pubs have put it all together.

Wayne Allyn Root’s story on Monday (8/06), The Obama Scandal Is At Columbia, is gaining a lot of attention because it makes a lot of sense.  He graduated in the same class as Zero at Columbia with the same major, yet never saw him, and none of his classmates did either.  He is sure Zero got into Occidental College and Columbia as a foreign exchange student named Barry Soetoro.

So he is asking that Romney "call Obama’s bluff" and release his college transcripts.  We can all agree, I’m sure – but here’s the question:

We all know, as the proof is incontrovertible, that Zero’s Hawaii birth certificate is forged,  The question is:  what is to prevent a forgery conspiracy with Zero’s college transcripts?  So Zero releases a forged set of transcripts that the media instantly hails as genuine – now what?

Actually, my real question is:  where are the hackers? Why do his transcripts need to be "released"?  If hackers can break into Pentagon computers, why can’t they get into Columbia’s – much less Occidental College’s in Glendale, California.  How secure can they be?

This week (8/06), Wired Magazine reported how Apple and Amazon have been hacked.  Surely, then, these hacking wizards can gain access to Zero’s actual transcripts, college applications, and everything else on file on him at Columbia.  Are hackers Communists or Patriots?  What’s the deal here?

In the At Last! Department, the IBD declared on Wednesday (8/08) that the President of the United States is a drug pusher. I say at last, because this was a primary message of Infantilizomania from September 2005:

Just as a pyromaniac is driven by a compulsion to set fires, a kleptomaniac by a compulsion to steal, and – everyone’s favorite example – a nymphomaniac by a compulsion to have sex, an infantilizomaniac is driven by a compulsion to treat adult human beings as children.

The compulsion to infantilize people is the neurotic compulsion of liberals.

Liberals of course do not call it infantilizomania. They call it compassion.

Conning people into viewing themselves as children allows liberals to get them hooked on their drug of OPM (yes, pronounced "opium" and standing for Other People’s Money).

OPM welfare subsidies are no less an addictive drug than cocaine or heroin ( so it is no coincidence that most drug addicts are welfare addicts). Once you get on the drug of the dole, you can’t conceive how you could survive without it.

Conservatives need to regard liberals as drug pushers. By building up constituencies hooked on OPM, liberals assure themselves of votes by doling out the drug.

************

Is this a bizarre anomaly or could it be portentous? Believe it or not, the New York Times today (8/10) has a wonderful heart-touching story about Mitt Romney portraying him as a decent compassionate good guy.  The story plays it straight, no cynicism nor snide snarkisms.  No one not a moonbat can come away from reading it without thinking, "Gee, he is really a good man."

It’s a real news story, good journalism, no puff piece.  Maybe, just maybe – could the New York Times see the writing on November’s electoral wall?

************

The IBD sure sees it.  Which is why we’ll close this HFR with their thrilling Barack Obama Runs on Empty and Toward Defeat.  It will make your week.
