A Truth Journal: NSA Leak Funny: White House, Justice Dept Are Dumb and Dumber Mishandling Case

Edward Snowden


A Truth Journal: NSA Leak Funny: White House, Justice Dept Are Dumb and Dumber Mishandling Case: From Denny:  This NSA Leak case is one real life raucous comedy.  A comic could not ask for better material so readily available in the news, especially of how inept the entire United States government and Justice Department look to the world.

What President Obama has accomplished is to unite the entire world against the United States in their fury of getting spied upon and so thoroughly publicly embarrassed.  Nice going, guys.

All you had to do was refuse to prosecute Snowden and then proceed to bring him in from the cold early in this drama, placing him elsewhere inside the government in a position better suited to his abilities where he really could protect the public's interests.  Instead, President Obama chooses the heavy-handed approach that demanded Snowden remain out of grasp for his own physical safety.

Political Discourse American Style: Cartoons - 17 Jan 2011

Check out the gun cartoons and how cartoonists view political discourse in America.


Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords


From Denny:  At the moment, most politicians seem to have gotten the message that the public is not happy with the toxic political atmosphere.  Now will someone please inform the media to also tone it down?

There are calls to gun reform in America and it's about time.  How comforting is it to know that your neighbor owns 20 assault weapons and high capacity gun clips among other "goodies"?  Hunters don't require assault weapons they just need a rifle.  Taking an assault weapon to a deer hunt is like taking dynamite to a fishing party.

Why does America continue to allow Big Business and the National Rifle Association to own our politicians, compromising our everyday safety?  The NRA and Big Business are in The Business of Selling Fear in order to make billions of dollars annually, talk about depraved indifference.  The NRA and Big Business have repeatedly fought any kind of gun reform, especially in the area of selling to the mentally ill.  There should be psychological profile tests people have to take before being allowed to own guns - and periodic retesting every year or so.

There should be a national limit as to how many guns a person can own or sell.  As it is there is a brisk trade of Americans buying guns and reselling them to the million man army of drug cartels in Mexico.  Those guns are used to kill thousands of innocent Mexican citizens, police and military opposing the drug cartels.  Now those same guns are coming back over our border states and killing our police and citizens.  When will it end?  When will anyone stir up the political will and courage to address this insanity?



American style of toxic political discourse that has been going on for 30 years now, reaching a crescendo when Rep. Giffords was shot in the head at a public open-air political meeting with her constituents:
