Covered here are follow-ups [JFK-Assassination, Illegals, GruberGate, BenghaziGate and POTUS-16] and

a new focus of attention [Federalism]; at the end, an update on my blogging-effort on PoliticsPa

[exposing the deceit of Hamas-apologists] is provided.

I received a series of challenges to my claim that the Warren Commission was remiss regarding the
concept that lone assassins *Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Rubenstein Ruby+ were responsible for JFKs
assassination and cover-up; reassuring quotes from Wikipedia and analysis of data [acoustics, ballistics
and logistics] pale in comparison with a simple viewing of the Zapruder Film in Slow Motion (HIGHER
QUALITY), coupled with an exhaustive lecture [which provides necessary detail starting @ ~20 minutes].
I had written the following: It seemed physically impossible for 3 shots to be fired
within 10 seconds from that non-automatic rifle.
This had been the response: Ten seconds is a lot of time to carefully aim and fire a
bolt-action rifle three times. The first shot only requires pulling the trigger so the bolt
only has to be pulled up-back-foreword and down twice to fire three shots. I can do it in
about four seconds.
I had replied thusly: He had to aim between the shots; very difficult from that distance.
I went to the Texas Book Depository Building and gazed towards the Dealey Plaza, and
JFK wasn't merely down-below. Also, if you watch Zapruder, you see his head snapbackwards as Jackie is turning toward him; this suggests a shot came from the grassy
knoll in FRONT of the limo. If I was a Watergate fanatic in the '70's, I started-out being a
JFK-Assassination nut in the '60's; remember, also that Jack Ruby *a.k.a. Rubenstein+
was linked to the mafia.

Politico incorrectly claimed the phrase HEY, MARTHA! Is an old-timey newspaper term
for a story so great you call out to a companion to come see; actually, it refers to what
Mr. Wilson would exclaim any time Dennis the Menace would engage in outrageous
antics [from more than a half-century ago].
The Importance of Federalism in America's Future - When an American president threatens to govern by
Executive Order, he has really declared he will govern by arbitrary power: his will instead of the will of
the people. We are witnesses to the subversion of popular government when the consent of the
governed is an afterthought. Our Founders rejected arbitrary power and sought to prevent its reign on
American soil. A series on Practical Federalism includes: 'First Line of Defense Against Intrusive Federal
Executive Should Be Congress'; A Gun to the Head: Obamacare Medicaid Expansion and the Federal
Takeover of State Governments; Federalism and the Common Core Standards; and Medicaid Expansion
in New Hampshire: The Need for Federalism.
In addition to ignoring both the public and the Congress, Obama Called Lindsey
Grahams Impeachment Bluff; he released five more terror detainees from
Guantnamo, including four Al Qaeda fighters. {Also, Obama is Threatening to Cut
Maine Food Stamp Funds Over Photo ID Law.}

the party of the 1 percent, for they have created jobs and balanced budgets. Grover Norquist endorsed
Walker, but the Deep Field Reflects Party Divisions. Of course, the Dems are trying to pick a ticket that

This is a letter-to-the-editor to the WSJ by John R. Cohn, M.D.:
In highlighting the unique permanency of the refugee status of descendants of Arabs
who left Israel in the years following 1948, Andrew Roberts has touched on a frequently
ignored but fundamental reason for the failure of Israel to be at peace and the
persistence of Palestinian suffering. Inexplicably left out of his long list of displaced
populations were the estimated 800,000 to 1,000,000 Middle Eastern Jews that fled
persecution in Arab lands in the years following World War II, a figure likely exceeding
the number of Palestinian Arabs who left Israel. Those Jewish refugees were also
resettled without compensation.
But in blaming just the Palestinians and their Arab leaders for this sorry state of affairs,
Roberts ignores the involvement of decades of European and American diplomats.
They helped create and continue to fund UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works

Agency for Palestine Refugees) in 1949. Unlike The Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which facilitated the resettlement of everyone
else, UNRWA sought not to find homes for those displaced, but rather to preserve their
inherited refugee statusfunded largely by Western governments, led by the United
States and the European Commission, all while lamenting the resultant lack of peace
between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Israel continues to struggle to maintain security [Fear and loathing along Jerusalem's dividing tram line;
ISRAELI POLICE SEIZE WEAPONS BOUND FOR EAST JERUSALEM DISGUISED AS CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS; and Israel Foiled Hamas Plot to Assassinate Foreign Minister Lieberman]; the L.A. Times
suggested the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is now tilting toward a religious war [as the result of efforts by
Palestinian Arabs]. Meanwhile, Egypt said it Could Send Forces to Stabilise Future Palestine State: Sisi.

"When presidents say Islam is a religion of peace, former George W. Bush advisor Elliot
Abrams said at a forum on Monday, the average American thinks this is crap.
Biden Called on Russia to Uphold East Ukraine Truce, while the U.S. is Increasing Non-Lethal Military Aid

I have continued to nail the lib/progressive/Dem @ PoliticsPa, f/u of the prior recitation
[which includes just about all the textbook arguments used to impugn Israel]:
DD:
I never said that the destruction of homes was used to teach hate. Its an example of the
existing hate manifested as collective punishment of the innocent. You really dont seem
to care what Israel does to innocent Arabs as long as its some form of vengeance for a
crime committed by some other Arab.
When Jews commit hate crimes and kill Arabs, their homes arent destroyed. The policy
only applied to the home of non-Jewish murders.
Yes. Hamas uses shields sometimes, but NOT all the time or even most of the time, and
not enough to account for the 3-1 kill ratio.
What percentage of the non-combatants killed were shields? 100% 90% 10%? You
act as though its 100%.
Mere storage of weapons is not enough reason to destroy a location with civilians
present. Many of the warnings are ignored or not believed. This is partly due to Israel
making some warnings that they do not follow through on, leading some Gazans to
believe the warnings are bluffs.
The fact that so many civilians are being kills is clear evidence that Israels warning
policy doesnt work. Dempseys observations are contradicted by the facts on the
ground and all the dead civilians. Clearly, he finds a 3-1 kill ratio to be acceptable, which
shows hes got no moral compass.

If Hamas was killing 3 Israeli civilians for every Israeli soldier, youd be having a stroke
about it.
Morality does not require fictional deity. And, conversely, your belief in a deity has not
produced any morality in you.
The bombs arent being aimed at military targets. That why they are killing three times
as many civilians as combatants. Also, suicide bombers also do take out military targets,
like checkpoints.
Me:
Each time you perseverate on civilian mortality, you erode your position; in this
instance, for example, you have acknowledged that Israel warned Gazans whose
buildings were to be bombed and that Hamas knowingly used human shields.
Yet, you would unilaterally restrict Israels military effort, for example, by precluding
them from destroying bombs [in schools] that, if left untouched, could be launched
against Israeli civilian targets; indeed, you continue to evade the fact that these have
been launched indiscriminately @ Israel *both nearSderotand farJerusalem+.
The adage war is hell is applicable, when the destruction of sections of Gaza was
necessary to stop both the 1000s of missiles from being launched and the use of the
terror-tunnels to launch a simultaneous attack on Rosh Hashanah throughout southern
Israel; you have also neglected to condemn this plan [purely-civilian mass-attack
kill/kidnap-plan+, despite multiple invitations.
Your one-sidedness is boundless, contrasted with Israels effort to target the military of
the Islamists; your scorn for organized religion [noting your declaration that all deities
are fictional+ explains your warped worldview that, one hopes, is not shared by your
Dem-associates.
*
You blame Israel if Gazans dont respond to warnings *having recognized that the Hamas
leadership uses them as human-shields], again an unabashed effort to restrain Israel
from attacking military targets located purposefully in civilian neighborhoods.
You may wish to process the concept that stone-throwers will be stripped of
citizenship, perhaps then subject to being sent to Gaza [to join people who share their
disdain for Jews]; it never ceases to amaze me that Hamas-lovers such as yourself would
even countenance slaughter of innocent rabbis engaged in morning-prayer as justified
due to abstract grievances *reminiscent of those proclaimed by Arabs in 29 prior to the
Hebron massacre] for which [even if true] the victims have no responsibility.
*

It dawned on me that you have yet to confirm that you agree that Americas Founders
and Framers were manifesting an Enlightenment born of the Judeo-Christian Ethic.
The silence is deafening and if you are blind to this historic fact, perhaps you should
follow Romneys recommendation and plan self-deportation.
Perhaps you would want to join your compatriots in Gaza or in the Islamic State, judging
from your hatred of all-things-Israeli.
DD:
The Founding Fathers, such as Franklin and Jefferson were heavily influenced by deism.
The Jefferson Bible, exhibits a strong deist tendency of stripping away all supernatural
and dogmatic references from the Christ story. Other notable Founding Fathers may
have been more directly deist. These include James Madison, possibly Alexander
Hamilton, Ethan Allen, and Thomas Paine (who published The Age of Reason, a treatise
that helped to popularize deism throughout the United States and Europe).
The Treaty of Tripoli was submitted to the Senate by President John Adams, receiving
ratification unanimously from the U.S. Senate on June 7, 1797, and signed by Adams,
taking effect as the law of the land on June 10, 1797.
It clearly states: the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense,
founded on the Christian religion.
This was a basis for the assertion in the treaty that the US had no enmity against
Muslims.
So, the Enlightenment of the Founding Fathers was going beyond the religious
nonsense (eye-for-an-eye) and having rule of law and religious freedom.
Terror tunnel is a propaganda term. These are military tunnels used for attacks, but
mostly for smuggling supplies. One might easily refer to Israels terror tanks, terror
missiles and terror airplanes for their use in killing military and civilians alike.
I blame Israel for continuing to use a warning system once it was obvious that it didnt
work. The logical conclusion is that the warning system is bogus and is merely a hollow
cover story to excuse the killing of civilians. You still continue to evade the question of
how many civilians were human shields. I put the number at 10%, and the other 90%
were killed on purpose by Israel and they just flat-out lied by labeling them human
shields, as if that was a legitimate justification (which is isnt).
A storage location is not a legitimate military target when civilians are present and there
is no other military activity. Period.
You seem to think I like (love) Hamas. I dont. I want them out of power. I believe that
they get their power/support from Israels bad behavior. If Israel made a real
commitment to peace, Hamas would lose support and collapse. They exist as a
resistance movement. Without the occupation, they would lose followers. So, its YOU

and people like you that are actually fueling support for Hamas through your sheer
stupidity and bigotry against peace.
The destruction of whole sections of Gaza was NOT necessary other than to implement
a policy of collective punishment.
Israels effort was to target the civilians more than the militants (thus the 3-1 ratio).
Imagine if the American police went into a heavy crime area with and murderous drug
gangs (who had recently killed some police officers), and the police killed 3 civilians for
every gang member. What would be the reaction?
ME:
This posting reinforces triad of points made earlier, amplifying their import.
You have morphed the classic-line Blame Bush *as discredited as this trite-phrase has
become noting, for example, the discovery of Iraqi WMD+ into Blame Israel for all
the terrorism Hamas has committed and will commit; the terror-tunnels were, indeed,
intended solely to terrorize civilians, whereas the attack on Gaza was intended solely to
stop its missile-fire @ Israel.
Thus, the prior conclusion stands; as of this moment, you support Hamas.
You can conjure references to Deism from selected people and efforts to discount
religion in a subsequent treaty to your hearts desire, but the deliberations and
documents [of the Founders/Framers] are interlaced with references to the Deity;
indeed, this is also characteristic of all 50 *then 13+ state-level constitutions.
Thus, the prior conclusion stands; as of this moment, you are manifesting your view that
organized religion is delusional by suggesting the foundations of America are not based
upon the Judeo-Christian Ethic.
You keep conjuring rationalizations for Israeli misbehavior, now blaming Israel for
Gazans not believing warnings you now admit were issued; I suppose your next move
would be to claim that there was disproportionate mortality/morbidity, blaming Israel
for not having suffered more casualties.
Thus, the prior conclusion stands; as of this moment, you have been unable to
document your assertion that Israeli children are taught to hate Arabs.
