"A person close to me betrayed me."

I caught the big guy's press conference today. He looked so contrite and full of feelings of compunction that I wanted to just give him a hug.


"I was disturbed by the tone and behavior and attitude of callous indifference that was displayed in the e-mails by my former campaign manager, Bill Stepien. And reading that, it made me lose my confidence in Bill's judgment. And you cannot have someone at the top of your political operation who you do not have confidence in....


"I was blindsided yesterday morning.. . . I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or its execution, and I am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here, regardless of what the facts ultimately uncover. This was handled in a callous and indifferent way, and it is not the way this administration has conducted itself over the last four years and not the way it will conduct itself over the next four."


"Blindsided". Hmmm, so what were you thinking when Bill Baroni, your powerful political appointee at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey resigned?   Or, for that matter, when you were getting question after question ( nine times) about the lane closures on the bridge--- and the reason for it---. Why didn't you talk to your staff, then? Traffic studies?!


Oh well, this is politics in New Jersey, and us hardened and jaded voters on the East Coast understand it. But how will it play out in Middle America?  This is what the governor must be asking himself as he tries to gear up for a run become our president in 2016.


Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are beside themselves with glee these days. They are hoping that Bridgegate will go on until folks start focusing on the presidential race. If you are a moderate republican this cannot be good. You want this guy to get out of this unscathed because you don't want the loons "on the fringes" of the party to take over.


Personally, I am giving the big guy the benefit of the doubt. Just like wingnuts did with the president when he said that he was not aware of any politics when it comes to the IRS and how they chose to audit organizations. OK, that was a joke. Hypocrisy-- as is always the case with politics here in America-- will rule the day.


“Is it wrong that I’m smiling?” one Chris Christie staffer asked another after closing a major bridge to a punish town whose Mayor didn’t endorse the New Jersey Governor’s reelection bid. “No,” the other aide wrote back. This is what passes for a “traffic study” in the Christie administration, apparently.
If the aides’ discussion strikes you as a horrifying way to talk about a decision that hurts thousands of people, you’re not alone: that’s one of the reasons this scandal seems to be so devastating for Chris Christie’s political future. It plays into the House of Cards stereotype about politicians and political operatives, that they care about power above all else, including the welfare of their constituents.

As it turns out, this stereotype has some basis in fact. According to solid psychological research and theory, politicians often end up possessing qualities common in sociopaths — or simply are sociopaths themselves. And while it’s not possible to identify the psychology behind the actions of Christie or his staff, the sheer callousness of their rhetoric presents a good opportunity to examine whether political leaders and operatives more broadly have an empathy problem. The answer appears to be yes." [Source]


I am just glad I am not Bridget Kelly tonight.


Although, now that I think about it; she will be just fine.

No hypocrisy here. Christie should resign over this scandal, and Obama should have been impeached and jailed for his abuse of power in using the IRS to attack the Tea Party movement.

It is long past time for some accountablity in this country. Long past.

...except that no Tea Party allegedly 501(c)4 was harmed or refused, they merely had to wait.

And, of course, you ignore the targeting of progressive groups.

Until after the election. But that was the whole point, right?

And 'progressive' groups were not hassled, they were fast tracked.

Obama's Stalinist targeting of political opponents by the IRS, OSHA, the EPA and the FBI is the worst abuse of power in the history of this nation. One can only hope that someday Justice is served.

do folks think the psycopaths/sociopaths are political arena specific? or might we have a power/$ hungry 'path problem across the board?

folks can easily recognize the 'path that walks up + knocks you in the head/murders you.

it's those 'paths in politics, court systems, classrooms, corporate boardrooms, hospitals,churches, secret societies/meetings, etc that are hurting the people of the world.

these are the folks with the longest reaches...wanting power + to be paid above all else = humanity problem. it doesn't even matter what party, really. we have a massively bad case of devilish corruption to the core in this nation today. all signs indicate this truth.

"Here's a judgment by O'Reilly about OOW children and African Americans. Try to watch it with an open mind and I bet you will agree with Bill. btw, I AM Black."

Yep, just watched O'Reilly's opening and it went from "the war on poverty" to "how ni@@ers are sponging off us good folks and how the dems are using them for votes". I must admit I didn't see that coming.

Kersey said...

PilotX: "how ni@@ers are sponging off us good folks and how the dems are using them for votes".

If O'Reilly said that, then maybe he is coming to his senses. The War on Poverty just opened up a new front in Philadelphia

Philadelphia is the city that recently passed 'Gentrification Protection' to protect those economically downtrodden areas of the city from the privation of seeing their property value rise (and property tax assessment rise) when white people move into the area.

In BRA, you can’t blame individual black people who collectively help make their neighborhoods an undesirable place for both residential living, business expansion and outside capital investment; nor can we expect individual black people to enjoy the economic maturation of their property value once white people collectively remake the formerly “undesirable” neighborhood fertile ground for an Apple Store, Whole Foods, or a quiet, and boutique cupcake shops.

Thus, the need for ‘Gentrification Protection’.

Or, as President Barack Obama has made perfectly clear in his continued War on White America (using tax-revenue collected from those very white people to fund their dispossession), the need to label communities – like West Philadelphia, – ‘Promise Zones’; a new joint-program of the Departments of Education, Agriculture, Justice, and Housing and Urban Development to once again wage war on white privilege and the inequality of outcomes no longer permissible in Black-Run America (BRA):

TODAY, a day after the 50th anniversary of President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty," President Obama will announce that a section of West Philadelphia has been selected as one of the first five federal "Promise Zones," a new program aimed at turning around some of the country's poorest neighborhoods.

Mayor Nutter will join Obama in the White House to announce the program, which gives the selected areas preferential treatment when applying for federal grants to boost early education, reduce crime and spur economic growth.

The Philadelphia "Promise Zone," which encompasses Mantua and surrounding areas, has about 35,000 residents, 51 percent of whom live in poverty and 13.6 percent of whom are unemployed.

At more than 26 percent, Philadelphia's poverty rate is higher than that of any major U.S. city.

The other "Promise Zones" are in Los Angeles, San Antonio, Kentucky and Oklahoma's Choctaw Nation.


Throw those poor white hillbillies a bone in Kentucky! What a guy, that Obama… what a guy. Other than that, the “Promise Zones” are nothing more than hose – directly siphoning off money collected from the white middle class – spewing a never-ending supply of unaccountable money into primarily non-white communities.

Anon 10:01-

my take away was the same as PilotX.

o'reilly irks me. reptile looking wm playing political divide the people games...while needing more info + better understanding= extra.

it makes more sense to focus ourselves. keeping in mind, that there is exactly NO ONE...well paid on tv...speaking real talk.

Michael Jackson has told folks already. they don't care about us. oreilly could sit there in his seat and take aim at hollywood king solomon jews + other jews just in general that make $ hand over fist corrupting/destroying the so called goyim.

before someone starts with the defeated anti semite(wt?!) program, please know that in all the reading there is an recurring theme:

they don't care about us ALSO includes those folks that call themselves Jews today. there is a handful of the in crowd. everybody else is an expendable servant/slave. go back through history, read...there is nothing new under the sun, indeed.

listening to our enemies consistently drumming into our heads how something is so wrong with US is psychological warfare. these jokers got the demonic side of things on lock as well. which is why staying in the spirit is so important. those that don't do the spiritual realm are not in the game on any meaningful level.

that is not arrogance nor disrespect. that is just plain truth.

i said before that i would pull out some of the curses from that book of "fairytale" stories to see if they sound familiar to anyone else.

understand why it is important to keep hammering Black folks with the oow rate...trust me, historical enemies don't care if our children are born in nor out of wedlock.

sterilizing US in general would be optimal, no doubt. there is nothing in the historical record that would lead me to think or even try to believe otherwise.

IF white folks could save US...they would not. more Black folks would do well to act like they know this.

” Richard Lindzen

My error.”

Yes, I knew exactly who you meant, I just wanted to emphasize your stupidity.

Lindzen is a retired former Climatologist, who is famous for being “wronger for longer” than any other climate scientist. He is one of the 3% of climatologists who don’t believe climate change is a big deal. Not that there is anything wrong with that as such, being wrong about stuff in an intelligent way, also helps to push forward human knowledge.

This is what Climatologist Ray Pierrehumbert said about him:

” "It's okay to be wrong, and [Lindzen] is a smart person, but most people don't really understand that one way of using your intelligence is to spin ever more clever ways of deceiving yourself, ever more clever ways of being wrong. And that's okay because if you are wrong in an interesting way that advances the science, I think it's great to be wrong, and he has made a career of being wrong in interesting ways about climate science."

The Purple Cow said...

This is how Lindzen's temperature predictions over the years have panned out compared with James Hansen's predictions and observed reality.

What I haven't heard addressed is why Christie and his staff would automatically expect a DEMOCRATIC mayor to support a Republican's re-election. Sure, there may be recriminations against a fellow party member who doesn't go along, but against an opposition party member? Never mind the absurd and fatality-creating scope of the revenge, that hurt thousands of people, not the mayor.

"What evidence do you have that Obama instructed the Cincinnati office of the IRS to target the local Tea party."

Why would the IRS, in its function as a tax collection agency, specifically choose to delay the applications of and even threaten the businesses of people solely on the basis of their political opposition to the President's party?

And this what not limited to the IRS. Other federal agencies that got involved included the EPA, the FBI, ATF, and OSHA:

Bill,

You're moon walking.

We all know that Saddam had chemical and biological weapons.

Bush Sr. has the bill of sale.

Saddam DID NOT have nukes as Bush Jr lied to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis and Americans.

Bush Did Not Lie said...

Bush never lied.

Saddam had chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs. This is well documented.

By the terms of the first Gulf War, he was obligated to destroy these weapons and permit UN inspectors to verify their destruction.

He did not comply with this agreement. The only rational conclusion would be that he still had WMD. This conclusion was shared by all western intelligence agencies and agreed on by the UN and by Democrats in congress.

Several politically motivated investigations failed to find any evidence of intelligence manipulation or misrepresentation.

In the year it took to get the UN to agree to toppling Saddam, much of the chemical weapons stocks was likely transferred to Syria, where it is still in use today.

Bush's presidency was a failure on many levels, but the claim that he lied us into war is simply false.

Quote Teabag Burnett

”That Lindzen is so reviled for his heresy shows how AGW is more a faith than a science.”

Ohhhhhhh goody, I was hoping somebody would say that, because now I can demonstrate how Lindzen was proved wrong by logic and science.

1. Lindzen’s ‘Iris Hypothesis’ his theory that changes in water vapor levels would reduce global warming.

This was refuted by no less than seven peer-reviewed papers. Here’s four for you to be getting on with. I’ll post the rest if you want them.

http://www.atmos-chem-phys-discuss.net/1/221/2001/acpd-1-221-2001-print.pdf

http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/1520-0442%282002%29015%3C0003%3ATIHANO%3E2.0.CO%3B2

ftp://eos.atmos.washington.edu/pub/breth/CPT/delgenio-kovari_jcl02.pdf

http://rain.atmos.colostate.edu/research/pubs/rapp2005.pdf

2. Lindzen claimed that climate change over the past century has been "minimal"?

In fact, the current rate of global warming is unprecedented for the past 11,000 years.

http://content.csbs.utah.edu/~mli/Economics%207004/Marcott_Global%20Temperature%20Reconstructed.pdf

3. Lindzen claimed that there has been no global warming for the last fifteen years.

In fact the world has been heated massively ofer the last 15 years as this paper identified.

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/qj.2297/abstract

In fact to equal the extra heat added to the globe since 1998 you would have to ignite four Hiroshima sized atomic bombs every second of every minute of every hour of every day for fifteen years.

4. Linzen claimed that the climate models had performed poorly.

In fact, research shows they had performed much better than even the optimists had hoped.

”That Lindzen is so reviled for his heresy shows how AGW is more a faith than a science.”

Ohhhhhhh goody, I was hoping somebody would say that, because now I can demonstrate how Lindzen was proved wrong by logic and science.

1. That's how science works, and that in no way refutes unrelated conclusions.

2. Because we have satellite data going back 11,000 years? Fantasy.

3. The earth is heating, it just doesn't show it. Right.

4. Climate models have been performing badly, and will soon completely be invalidated.

You don't even understand what science or logic are. You should stick to cricket and nature worship. Maybe PilotX will let you borrow his magic bone that he shakes at the sun to make global warming go away. It seems to be working.

Exactly which climate models are preforming badly? Please link to where they will all be invalidated. Models receive new information from multiple sources constantly and are putting out more precise information. Astonsih us with your knowledge of climate models. I'll wait.

"3. The earth is heating, it just doesn't show it. Right."

We are definitely on a warming trend. Ask any climate scientist.

The gap is wider after 5 years of Obama then after 8 years of bush.

Additionally, the number of women who are not in the labor force climbed to a record high of 55,028,000 last month.

Republicans dream of waging a war on women like Obama is getting away with.


Income gap between rich and poor is biggest in a century

The rich keep getting richer during the Obama administration.

Whatever Obama is doing is having the opposite effect of closing the gap between the rich and the poor.

I did link to a Spiegel interview with Hans Von Storch:

SPIEGEL: Just since the turn of the millennium, humanity has emitted another 400 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, yet temperatures haven't risen in nearly 15 years. What can explain this?

Storch: So far, no one has been able to provide a compelling answer to why climate change seems to be taking a break. We're facing a puzzle. Recent CO2 emissions have actually risen even more steeply than we feared. As a result, according to most climate models, we should have seen temperatures rise by around 0.25 degrees Celsius (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past 10 years. That hasn't happened. In fact, the increase over the last 15 years was just 0.06 degrees Celsius (0.11 degrees Fahrenheit) -- a value very close to zero. This is a serious scientific problem that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will have to confront when it presents its next Assessment Report late next year.

SPIEGEL: Do the computer models with which physicists simulate the future climate ever show the sort of long standstill in temperature change that we're observing right now?

Storch: Yes, but only extremely rarely. At my institute, we analyzed how often such a 15-year stagnation in global warming occurred in the simulations. The answer was: in under 2 percent of all the times we ran the simulation. In other words, over 98 percent of forecasts show CO2 emissions as high as we have had in recent years leading to more of a temperature increase.

SPIEGEL: How long will it still be possible to reconcile such a pause in global warming with established climate forecasts?

Storch: If things continue as they have been, in five years, at the latest, we will need to acknowledge that something is fundamentally wrong with our climate models. A 20-year pause in global warming does not occur in a single modeled scenario. But even today, we are finding it very difficult to reconcile actual temperature trends with our expectations.

Dear FN fans, I sent a video of the Factor re: poverty, wwo and break down of the AA family as a possible major reason for so much poverty and oow.

You reacted negatively when I asked that you keep an open mind and heart. What's up with the negativity, anger and mistrust of O'Reilly? The man is considered the TOP newsman in the country, for petes sake.!

I am Black but I swear I can't undestand my peeps on FN...smh

Granny, you are the only one on FN to be related to anybody famous. You even have so much white blood in your family I bet you are related to Bill....Just take Bill's word for it. He doesn't lie like some folks here.

So Teabag, a link to an article that doesn't specify which computer model he has a problem with and you quote this guy as gospel truth. Just as I suspeced, you have no idea about what you are talking about. Can you even name one climate model? I'll wait.

It IS showing it. Try reading the papers I linked to.

Clearly you are not a well man, try actually reading the scientific peer-reveiewed papers linked to in the article.

Give it up boy, you have lost this one.

I had nothing to do with who those in my family chose to have sex with and make a baby. Nor did I pick and choose or have any control over what any of them chose do for a living. Nonetheless, it is what it is!
