This might be…
…quite interesting — a former Secret Service agent filing a RICO case against the Clintons. The judge hearing the case is a Clinton appointee, but he will find it hard to blatantly dismiss the case without justification. We might even discover some new and disturbing things about the crime syndicate which has long been the Clintons. I am hoping that the agent can drag in the Clinton Foundation, which is a pay-to-play setup for anyone with half a brain left.
Jerry Parr, R.I.P.
The Secret Service agent who saved Ronald Reagan’s life has died. Agent Parr was from an era when that agency took its job seriously and was peopled by serious men instead of the party boys it seems to have now.
Photo fun…
Steven Hayward has some clickbait fun with us here, but do enjoy the pix, then click on the link to Jonah Goldberg’s piece on the Cartagena hookers tale.
Cowboy W…
Pres. George W. Bush waded into a scuffle between security forces in Chile to rescue one of his Secret Service agents who had been stopped. The Chilean press panned the move, which was the culmination of ongoing disagreements over security at the APEC forum, but W looked pleased with himself, as he should have been. Can you imagine His Oneness even noticing, much less doing anything about it himself? I can not.
Dog dies…
How does a Secret Service dog fall off a roof while conducting a sweep? The Belgian Malinois is an intelligent, alert animal. Even my somewhat goofy Big Girl does not fall off tree trunks when she’s moving along them, sometimes several feet off the ground. Where was the dog’s handler? Was he drunk, or merely fatally inattentive? There is something very strange about this…
Grope and change…
I’ve used Mark Steyn’s own headline, because there isn’t a better one for his take on the Secret Service scandal. The only thing I think he missed was that the behavior of the detail shows a profound contempt for Pres. Obama — the same contempt His Oneness displays for us common folks.
Except when not…
The Bush White House did not release its visitor logs. The Obama White House trots that out as a defense whenever someone finds out that an awful lot of people apparently don’t sign the visitor log.
His Oneness is absolutely committed to openness and transparency — except when he’s not Having his mouthpiece try to pin the blame for the glaring omissions is starting to wear a trifle thin even with the adoring D.C. press corps.
Party crashers or not?
I haven’t paid much attention to the couple who crashed the White House state dinner, but it appears His Oneness knew the couple when he was a mere senator in Illinois.
He doesn’t appear to have informed the Secret Service of this. I wonder why…
UPDATE: Here’s an interesting item which offers some insight.
UPDATE: This case gets stranger by the minute. Who knew the gatecrashers were tied to Rashid Khalidi, Obama’s favorite pro-Palestinian, terrorism-excusing professor.
