Surgeon General Position is No Place for Radical Politics

by Robert Janicki

President Obama and current Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, are not about to roll over in the face of the incoming Republican Senate majority.  Their first confirmation victory in the remaining days of the current congress occurred Monday evening with the confirmation of 37 year old Dr. Vivek Murthy as U.S. Surgeon General. 

Murthy's nomination has been in limbo since he was first nominated in 2013.  It seems everyone of Obama's nominations has been made on the basis of strong political allegiance to the president's radical ideological agenda, rather than what is in the best interest of America and Americans.  

The position of U.S. Surgeon General would seem to have no place for politics, but it is now obvious it has become politicized with the confirmation of a doctor with little practical experience and a strong desire to politicize the position along the exact radical political lines and agenda of the president.

What makes this otherwise nondescript position rather important in these times, revolves around two points to be made.  

Again, Dr. Murthy is medically inexperienced, which makes it questionable if he is actually qualified for the position of the nation's Surgeon General.  Murthy's greatest activity has been centered around his creation of an activist group called Doctors for America, which was originally called Doctors for Obama and is essentially a propaganda machine for all things on President Obama's agenda, the most significant of which is gun control of all things. 

The second and most important point to be made is that Murthy brings blatant politics to the position of Surgeon General.  In particular, he is a political hack with a political activist agenda bent upon using the power of his office to push for wide ranging and radical national gun control laws, rules and regulations by co-opting the lagging liberal gun control agenda and declaring guns to be a national health concern.  

Needless to say, the NRA considers Murthy a most serious detriment to an individual's exercise of their 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms.  Republicans in the new Congress will have to be very vigilant in monitoring  his activities as he uses his position as a bully pulpit for national gun control.  Republicans will be further challenged to rein in Murthy as he tries to use his position for gun control objectives.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) voted no because of his concern with Murthy's strident political activism in the anti-gun movement.  When Manchin voted against Murthy, you know there is concern among even some Democrats about Murthy's extreme activism on gun control issues.  However, even with Manchin's "no" vote, the Democrats managed a 51-43 vote for confirmation of Murthy with their current majority in the Senate, which will change on January 3, 2015, with a Republican majority of 54-46.

Here are some of the radical items on Dr. Murthy's agenda as Surgeon General as propounded by the group Doctors for America, which he founded.  Some of these items are recycled liberal goals, but some are even more radical than liberals have even thought to push for.
  • A federal ban on the sale of assault weapons and ammunition
  • Buyback programs
  • Strengthening “regulations for guns used for hunting, sport, and self-protection”
  • Universal background checks and licenses for anyone purchasing guns and ammunition
  • Mandatory firearm safety training and testing
  • Regulation of private sales and transfers of guns and ammunition
  • Mandatory waiting periods of at least 48 hours
  • Limits on the purchase of ammunition
  • Better policing of neighborhoods with a high concentration of gun violence
  • Prohibit laws preventing physicians from discussing gun safety with patients.
  • Remove the provision in the Affordable Care Act and other federal policies that prohibit physicians from documenting gun ownership.
  • Invest in improving access to mental health resources.
  • Reinstating CDC and NIH funding for firearms injury and death prevention research.
  • Removing restrictions in the Affordable Care Act and other legislation that prohibits databases and data collection on gun violence programs.
  • Ensuring that newly implemented programs are studied carefully to assess impact.

The Lefty Fringe Continues to Line up Behind Lizzy

The far left group MoveOn.org  is readying themselves to spend $1 million on a campaign to draft Elizabeth Warren into the 2016 presidential race, an indication of an appetite among some activists for a more progressive alternative to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
MoveOn.org’s executive director, Ilya Sheyman, said the group planned to open offices and hire staff in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states that kick off the presidential nominating process, and ultimately to air television ads in those states. The group will begin its push with a website, “Run Warren Run,” allowing supporters to sign a petition urging Ms. Warren to pursue a White House bid and featuring a video about her.
“We want to demonstrate to Senator Warren that there’s a groundswell of grass-roots energy nationally and in key states and to demonstrate there’s a path for her,” Mr. Sheyman said. He added that the effort was not being made in coordination with Ms. Warren and that the group advised her staff about it only last weekend."
Whether there is significant energy behind the “Run Warren Run” effort may be known soon: MoveOn.org is planning a kickoff on next Tuesday in Des Moines.

“I kill all the white people in the movie — how great is that?!” ~ actor Jamie Foxx, hosting the TV show Saturday Night Live on 12/8/2012

“First of all, give an honor to God, and our lord and savior Barack Obama!!” ~ Jamie Foxx, at the 2012 Soul Train Music Awards


Even more disturbing than the extremely high rates of violent crime among blacks in our country is how almost invariably the criminals’ families, community leaders, media and government officials all the way up to the President and Attorney General of the United States aggressively run interference for them.

We’re now in an upside-down hell where criminals are exalted as heroes, and the heroes are treated like villains (even after juries sift through the facts and find no cause to accuse them).

The predatory wolf is seen as a noble martyr, while the brave sheepdog is vilified and banished from his job for the sin of doing his job.  This nightmare-narrative has taken hold all across the land in the form of a poisonous miasma which is force-fed to schoolchildren at the earliest possible age, in order to guarantee new generations of zombies who think naming streets, scholarships, and public buildings after a violent thug like Michael Brown is something socially responsible people do, while innocent and courageous sentries named George Zimmerman, Darren Wilson, and Daniel Pantaleo are forced into hiding, with no real future expectation for being able to make a living or move around safely.

It’s easy to predict the continued, long-range ramifications of such insanity.

For decades, we’ve had a leviathan government bureaucratic apparatus staffed by legions of pretentious do-gooders which perpetuates itself by aggressively subsidizing and enabling poor adolescent girls and women in doing the one thing that ensures, more than anything else, that they will remain in the perpetual cycle of poverty: Have children out-of-wedlock.

When liberals ushered in the massive welfare state which pays unmarried women ever-increasing amounts for each additional illegitimate child they crank out, they knew (and counted on) two things:

Another Exciting Reality Series 

Obama / Clinton Blood Feud is Coming to Pass and it Won't be Pretty

by Robert Janicki

Earlier this year political writer Edward Klein published a book entitled, "Blood Feud", subtitled, "The Clintons vs. the Obamas", which now looks like it was quite prescient in its predictions of the Obamas supporting someone other than Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.  A reading of Klein's book is very revealing in its insights into the long standing and continuing animosity between the Obamas and the Clintons that runs deep and wide ranging, despite all the 'kiss ups' in public.

Obama, admittedly the quintessential manipulating masterful politician and especially outstanding  campaigner/fundraiser, has been quietly and subtly pushing for someone of his own radical political ilk to confront Hillary and upset her apple cart along the way to the 2016 Democratic National Convention.  It has now surfaced that 300 former Obama campaign staffers have rallied round the idea of Elizabeth 'Fauxcahontas' Warren, recently minted United States Senator in 2012, as the Democratic presidential nominee.

This group of 300 former Obama staffers have organized a group called "Ready for Warren" with an open letter to Elizabeth Warren.  The contents of the letter included these observations from the group.

We believed in an unlikely candidate who no one thought had a chance.
We worked for him — and against all odds, we won in Iowa.
We organized like no campaign had organized before — and won the Democratic primary.
We built a movement — and the country elected the first-ever African American president.
We know that the improbable is far from impossible.
Now, former staffers from President Obama’s campaigns, along with former staffers from OFA, are joining with the thousands of Americans who are calling on Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2016.
Rising income inequality is the challenge of our times, and we want someone who will stand up for working families and take on the Wall Street banks and special interests that took down our economy.
We urge Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2016.

Expect to see Elizabeth Warren, despite protestations to the contrary, to run against Hillary.  The money will be there at her disposal from the multitudinous sources cultivated by the master campaigner and fundraiser, Barack Obama.  All Obama has to do is call in all the chits he has planted among the rich and powerful liberals in high places in business and banking.  Obama, the socialist who has, for tactical and strategic purposes, morphed into a corporatist for pragmatic political purposes, has the power and forces necessary to anoint Elizabeth Warren as his successor to his mantle of the radical liberal as president

Forget about Warren supposedly challenging Obama over the CRomnibus bill and it diminishing the Dodd-Frank legislation regulating financial institutions.  This pales in comparison to the long standing animosity between the Obamas and the Clintons.  On the plus side, it gives Warren the image of being independent of Obama, all the while utilizing his political influence and campaign resources to challenge Hillary.  Dizzy Lizzie may be saying she won't run, but that's only good until the moment she announces that she will run.  Expect it to happen since there simply is no other Democrat that could possibly be viewed with winning potential.  It's either going to be Hillary or Lizzy and I'm putting my betting money on Lizzy when I look toward who will be supporting her and all the resources Obama brings to the fight for the future of the Democrat Party.

The real problem that both Hillary and Lizzy have to overcome is that America does not appear to share their thought of continuing the failed radical liberal policies of a warmed over mutation of Barack Obama.  Hillary has a more formidable challenge to separate herself from Obama.  Warren is not burdened with all that Obama administration baggage that Hillary has to drag to the campaign trail.

Diogenes' Holiday Party and Celebrity Beer Bust

In the spirit of the season and to celebrate a great year at DMF, I decided to kick in some cash and throw a holiday party at DMF/MFNS headquarters to show my appreciation for the friends of DMF, the contributors, regular readers and commenters and fellow bloggers. (If your invitation didn't show up, it got lost in the mail, honest). And considering all the movies and television episodes that are filmed in the area, I also put out a blanket invitation to DMF fans in the entertainment industry. The invite list was long, the attendance impressive. 

A good time was had by all......



We knew it was going to be a hell of a party when some of the first guests to arrive
were party girls Lindsay Lohan and Brittney Spears.




Larry Fishburne dropped in for awhile with his main squeeze Gina Torres on his arm 
and a bowl of Larry's killer Jalapeno cheese dip in tow.




Alec Baldwin rolled in and offered to handle bartender duties for us.  Unfortunately, 
while standing in line to use the bathroom, he punched a guest who tried to take his picture, and he had to be asked to leave.


And see who else came and partied with us.....




And what's a party without at least one drunken Sailor. The United States Navy was
well represented by Retired Naval Aviator, Captain John McCain.




Eminent Global Climate Expert Albert Gore showed up but didn't stay long.
He complained it was inconveniently too hot in the house for his liking.
Fat boy sweats a lot.




This guy claimed to be Bill Murry. He had no I.D. but the dog liked him so we let him stay.




David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon all made the party. 
An impromptu comedy monologue-shoot out between the four never materialized
after Letterman wet his pants waiting in the bathroom line. 
All four secretly admitted they've stolen material from Middle Finger News.




Snoop Dogg came by to have a cold one and drop off a big bag of........party favors.




 A few of the ladies didn't seem to mind Leo DiCaprio couldn't keep his hands to himself.
But thankfully he soon disappeared, as did my fondue pot and $6.23 from the beer fund.




Keanu Reeves kept everybody entertained with his stories of roaming North Hollywood 
dressed in old Lady Gaga costumes, and said "Whoa" a lot.




Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was there to help keep the peace if things got out of hand, 
and made quick work of ridding us of Alec Baldwin. Mr. Rock also easily won 
hands down the DMF Kitchen Table Arm Rustling Competition.




A close eye had to be kept on Tom Cruise all night. After just one beer he started calling
all the women Nicole and insist we let him take off his pants and dance around the
living room in his underwear. 




But the surprise arrival of the night was none other than the President himself. 
He grudgingly admitted he did occasionally read DMF, but only after he heard of us
during an NSA briefing.  He said he stopped by because he knew there would be real food 
and to hand out some resumes to the guest for future consideration for employment. 
He also took time to lodged a small complaint about the Santa Skivvies Run picture.



IN MY DREAMS!


These pictures are actually the handy work of graphic designer Everett Hiller. He and his wife host an annual Holiday party for their friends. Afterwards, Hiller sends out a photo album with famous celebrities photoshopped in for fun. While some may look a little fishy, others are near-flawless, as Hiller’s skills with lighting, white balance adjustment, and color really shine.

 Finding the perfect shot to fit the context of the party scene requires a keen eye and the results speak for themselves. You can see the entire 55-picture album on Imgur.

Gruber Isn't the Only One Who Cashed in Big on ObamaCare

Why is it such a radical idea to think that maybe taxpayers should just keep their money instead of sending it off to Washington to be redistributed to giant contracting corporations?  Seems everyone in Washington agrees that this isn’t radical at all.  Inside the ribbon of concrete and asphalt of the Beltway, reason is suspended and giving billions to defense contractors to support Obamacare seems like a good idea.


The contractors and the lobbyists love it.  It’s just the rest of the country that gets hosed.
 

from IBD
"The Kaiser Report also shows that traditional defense contractors like General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Booz Allen are increasingly turning to HHS for business, thanks to cutbacks in defense and the explosion in ObamaCare spending. Last year alone, six of the biggest cleared $2.3 billion.
General Dynamics got $814 million mainly to help with ObamaCare call centers. Defense giant Serco got more than $400 million, much of it for collecting paper applications after the online marketplaces failed.
What’s the rest of the money for? “Buying medical-record software, insurance websites, claims processing, data analysis, computer system overhauls, consumer education and consulting expertise,” Kaiser says.
In other words … overhead. Worse, this is overhead that didn’t exist before ObamaCare."

Raging Progressive Bigotry

Public Secrets
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the worst reactionary bigots I’ve ever met have all been on the Left. 
I’d never heard of Michael Tomasky before untill my feed reader was suddenly full of commentary about his anti-South screed at The Daily Beast.  Apparently the recent disaster the Democrats suffered in the midterm elections set him to boiling, and Mary Landrieu’s defeat over the weekend in the Louisiana runoff blew the lid off:
"Practically the whole region has rejected nearly everything that’s good about this country and has become just one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment.  A fact made even sadder because on the whole they’re such nice people! (I truly mean that.)
With Landrieu’s departure, the Democrats will have no more senators from the Deep South, and I say good. Forget about it.  Forget about the whole fetid place. Write it off. Let the GOP have it and run it and turn it into Free-Market Jesus Paradise. The Democrats don’t need it anyway."
“They’re such nice people, but I really hate their guts!”
Mikey then goes on to say there are some parts of the South the Democrats really do need, but for the rest he wishes secession had succeeded, because they just aren’t real Americans down there.
Yeesh. Look, Mike.  I know the election was hard on you. From Texas to the Atlantic, there is now only two Democratic statewide officeholder in the Old Confederacy. Landrieu lost a seat the Democrats held since I think the 1870s.
I get it.  This is tough on you. It can’t be easy being rejected when you’re so cock-sure of your own side’s intellectual and moral superiority. I only hope you didn’t smash the keyboard while writing your tirade.  I’d like to think the election results would have lead you and your fellow progressives to reflect on why you lost so badly in that part of the country. What policies lead to your rejection? What was it about what the Democrats were offering that made so many say “no, thanks?”
But, no.  You and so many like you in the progressive commentariat already know the answer, no self-reflection needed:  “They’re all a bunch of mouth-breathing Jesus-fetishists who just don’t know what’s good for them, so we should just tell them to go to Hell!”
If that’s the case, Mike, how do you explain Colorado and Iowa, where Republicans won the Senate races?  Or New Mexico and Nevada, where Latino Republicans won reelection for governor?  Or deep-Blue Maryland and Massachusetts, where Republicans also won the elections for governor?  I’ve never been to Maryland, but I know it ain’t a “Free-Market Jesus Paradise.”
You know, when Reconstruction ended and the Democrats returned to power, using Jim Crow laws and their allied terrorist groups, such as the KKK, to make sure Blacks could never vote Republican — or often not at all. There’s a good book on all that and more.
If you want to find the real bigot suffering from “choleric resentment,” Mike, try looking in the mirror.  

One Last Parting Shot Over the Shoulder

This Senate Intelligence Committee's CIA Report marks a new low for congressional oversight of intelligence because of its naked partisanship and refusal to consider all relevant evidence. The report was written entirely by the committee's Democratic staff. The investigation included no interviews and is based only on a review of documents. Because the report lacks Republican co-authors or interviews of people who ran the enhanced-interrogation program, it has no credibility and amounts to a five-year, $50 million Democrat cherry-picking exercise to investigate the Bush administration. 

There are many former Bush-administration and CIA officials who claim that the enhanced-interrogation program was effective, provided crucial counter-terrorism intelligence, and was conducted entirely within the law. These officials also claim that Democratic members of the House and Senate intelligence committees
were fully briefed on the program and supported it until it became politically useful to condemn it.

This Should Drive the Ferguson Race Baiters Crazy

Western Journalism
Online crowdfunding is proving to be both a comfort and a source of substantial funds for Darren Wilson. After resigning from the Ferguson, Missouri, police force without severance pay, Wilson apparently has no job prospects; and he still faces all sorts of daunting challenges — both legal and safety-related — despite not being indicted by the grand jury in the August death of Michael Brown.
But Darren Wilson and his new wife will reportedly be receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from online donation efforts organized by an anonymous supporter. In fact, according to a post on dailymail.co.uk, the amount of money pouring in from crowd-funding could soon exceed $1 million.
Shortly after then-officer Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown in a confrontation on a residential Ferguson street, some crowd-funding sites were launched that reportedly raised a good deal of money for Wilson before the sites were shut down as violent protests over the killing intensified.
