HALF-FULL REPORT 10/03/14

This picture of Teddy Roosevelt is a family heirloom. The reason is that the man standing in front of TR is the Chief of the Secret Service Presidential Bodyguard –  my grandfather Lucien C. Wheeler. For 20 years (1902-1922), Lucien guarded the lives of four presidents: TR, Taft, Wilson, and Harding.

I have such fond memories of Papa as a young boy.  He spoke with reverence about the Secret Service and its sacred duty to guard the President.  I can only imagine the contempt and disgust he would feel over what Zero has done to it.  I know what he would say:  "The fish rots from the head."

In the wake of a trio of scandals, Julia Pierson had to resign as Secret Service Director on Wednesday (10/01).  And just how did the press learn of these scandals such as a felon with a gun being in an elevator with Zero?  They were leaked by Secret Service agents themselves disgusted by Julia’s incompetence and considered her "a joke from Day One."

As Jack Kelly explains today, dysfunction and incompetence run rampant through just about every division of our metastasized federal government, not just the Secret Service.  We have an Imperial Presidency under Zero, with ludicrously massive protection treating him (and demanding the world treat him) as an Emperor.

And not just him, but his underlings who demand their own Secret Service details, even though they are under no threat and treat the agents as their personal slaves – such as Valerie Jarrett.

The bottom line is that no federal agency, including the Secret Service, can do what it’s supposed to do because it spends most of its time and money on doing what it shouldn’t do and has no constitutional authority to do.  

In fact, most federal agencies have no constitutional authority to exist in the first place – HHS, DHS, HUD, EPA, Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy and Transportation come to mind.

The HFR is counting on President Cruz to begin their dismantlement in 2017.

Secret Service leaks embarrassing Zero are just the start of what promises to be an endless succession.  This was made clear by Piers Morgan of all people (remember him?), who explained how Zero "committed professional suicide" last Sunday (9/28) on 60 Minutes.

As a pathological narcissist, Zero is incapable of accepting personal responsibility or fault for anything.  Thus he blamed, on national television, the entire national intelligence community instead of himself for failure to understand the danger of ISIS.

"A more shameless, reprehensible display of buck-passing it would be hard to find from a sitting President," commented Piers.  The result "is that those maligned intelligence agencies will exact cold-blooded revenge on Obama by drip-feeding negative stories about him until he’s gone." 

And though Piers doesn’t mention this, you need to realize that the Enemedia have to run the anti-Zero stories and can’t ignore them.  That’s the deal.  The life-blood for reporters in Washington is their connection to inside sources, especially intel ones.  If they don’t run the stories, the sources will give their info to someone else who will.

Thus almost instantaneously out came the leaks.  Within hours of the 60 Minutes broadcast (early Monday morning 9/29):

*The New York Times was reporting that "classified American intelligence reports painted an increasingly ominous picture of a growing threat from Sunni extremists" in Syria and Iraq but were ignored by the White House.

*The Washington Times headline: U.S. Intel Disputes Obama Claim on Islamic State.

*The Washington Post: Obama’s False ‘Intelligence Failure’ Claim.

*Newsweek and its website The Daily Beast:  Why Obama Can’t Say His Spies Underestimated ISIS.

The next day, Tuesday (9/30), out came the news leaked by the GAO that Zero has skipped attending almost 60% of his Daily Intelligence Briefings.

This is just the start.  The intel guys will see to it.

Two more gifts came out of Zero’s big mouth this week.  Yesterday (10/02) at Northwestern University, he uttered what the WaPo’s Chris Cillizza reports were "28 Words Democrats Wish Obama Really Didn’t Say." 

They were:  "I am not on the ballot this fall.  Michelle’s pretty happy about that.  But make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot.  Every single one of them."  OK, deal.  As Cillizza summarizes:

"An unpopular president (on video no less!) bluntly insisting that an election in 33 days is indeed a referendum on his policies. Republicans couldn’t have written a better script than that."

Zero followed this up with a talk in DC last night at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Dinner, telling them that "no force on earth can stop us" in granting Amnesty for illegals. 

His message was crystal clear to the Latino Congressistas and all the La Raza racists in the audience: he was promising to illegally enact Amnesty via Executive Order on his own during the lame-duck session after Nov. 4.  This, while the latest poll shows that Voters Overwhelmingly Oppose Executive Action On Immigration.

That gives the Pubs when they take over Congress in January the directive to defund all his EOs so that there will be no money to implement them.  It might even give Pubs an actual backbone.  Especially with reports like this on Tuesday (9/30):  Hispanic Community Souring on Obama.

Us folks of a certain age fondly remember the great comedy team of Abbott and Costello.  My father was a friend of Lou Costello who would come over to our home ever so often.  Their most famous routine was the legendary Who’s on First? (video below). 

You might wonder why I thought of them when I ran across this story from Australia:  Aussie Government Holds Firm Against Climate Bullying.  That’s due to the courageous leadership of Oz’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

Whenever Costello would get himself in trouble, which was frequent, he would invariably yell out his famous catch-phrase for his partner’s rescue, "Heeeyyyyy, Abbottttt!"

While we can’t call out for Aussie Tony Abbott, we nonetheless need real men to come to America’s rescue – in place of the slimeballs, narcissists, metrosexuals, and invertebrates we have now.  We need leaders like Abbott or Bibi Netanyahu to stand up to the thugs, bullies, and Moslem crazies of the world, and the DemFascists in DC.  (The link is to Bibi’s fabulous speech at the UN on Sunday 9/28.)

Do we have such a leader?  More and more, the HFR is thinking that we do in Ted Cruz.

On Monday (9/29), the Boston Herald ran a story headlined: Ted Cruz May Be Right Man To Put America on Track. 

The Politico says he’s sending clear signals he’s running.  The National Journal (9/29) is sure of it, claiming he’ll focus on foreign policy.  Yet Cruz is also the heartthrob of social conservatives too, winning the Value Voters Summit on Saturday (9/27).

Cruz has little to lose by running – certainly not his Senate seat, since he’s not up for reelection until 2018.  He hasn’t made his decision yet, he says, but for now he’s the front-runner.  Forget about has-beens like Romney, Jeb Bush, or Mike Huckabee (much less Rick Santorum, good grief).  2016 is a race to be run by Young Guns like Rubio, Rand, Scott Walker, and Cruz – albeit you’d have to add Rick Perry as well.

If Walker wins reelection as Wisconsin’s Governor, he’ll be running on executive experience on a par with or exceeding Perry’s.  But Cruz is so smart and such an amazing campaigner in a debate or in front of any audience that he may blow the field away.  He’ll announce shortly after the new Congress is seated in January.  Run, Ted, Run!

Here’s a trio of Good News rulings for the week:

*Federal Judge Rules Against White House on Obamacare.  "The court holds that the IRS rule is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with law," ruled the judge. Ouch.

*Federal Appeals Court Approves Texas Abortion Restrictions.  The Libtards at Slate are moaning: Court Ruling Destroys Abortion Access in Texas.

*Bankruptcy Judge in California Challenges Sanctity of Pensions.  Finally, there is hope of ending the pension rape of taxpayers by thieving pubic unions.

Now for the HFR Hero of the Week.  We have five candidates.

*The Colorado School Board, who refused to buckle under to the bullying of Hate-America teachers’ unions, and are keeping their Pro-America revision of high school US history courses.

*Jan Morgan, owner of the Gun Cave indoor shooting range in Hot Springs, Arkansas, who has declared her gun range a "Muslim Free Zone."  She asks: "Why would I want to rent or sell a gun and hand ammunition to someone who aligns himself with a religion that commands him to kill me?"  Read her full statement on janmorganmedia.com and cheer.

*Elbert Guillory, black state senator in Louisiana whose short video released this week is destroying Mary Landrieu.  Entitled "Mary Landrieu Is Not Helping Blacks," here it is:

*Major Mariam Al Mansouri, female F-16 fighter pilot for the UAE Air Force who has been flying bombing strikes on ISIS.  She is the HFR’s kind of Moslem woman.  You can imagine how this is driving Moose-limb fundies out of their gourds.  She doesn’t care, she’s having the time of her life killing terrorists.  Chicks On The Right are giving her a snappy salute in admiration and so do we.

*Joshua Wong, the 17 year-old kid who’s leading Hong Kong’s Umbrella Revolution of hundreds of thousands protesting Communist oppression.  A skinny teenager is terrifying the Chicom leaders of mighty China. 

As Ambrose Evans-Pritchard predicted this morning, the Chicoms sent in brigades of "patriotic compatriots" from the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army) in mufti to beat the pro-democracy protestors up this afternoon.

Josh Wong may have started something the Chicoms cannot bottle up.  The list above is impressive and hard to choose from, as they all are heroic.  It’s possible, however, that this kid from Hong Kong may change history in a major way. He’s the HFR’s pick — but you’re free to choose another.

And now, as promised, what many consider the greatest comedy routine of all time.  Abbott and Costello’s Who’s on First?
