THE FJB MOVEMENT NEEDS TO TRANSITION TO THE FDS MOVEMENT

 

The voices of the next generation are calling out the President as a tyrant, and one of the least respected administrations since Jimmy Carter. Biden appears to have the anti-Midas touch, as every policy he ascribes has hurt and hindered American’s safety and well being. Therefore, the FJB movement by youth attending college football games, screaming out a curse chant against him is an historical first, and some might say an inappropriate disrespect of the office of the presidency, but when one assesses the damage done by Biden’s administration so early and quickly into his first few months in office, well perhaps Biden deserves the castigating cat call.

However, isn’t the chant directed at the wrong person? The wrong person especially knowing as we do, that Joe Biden is altogether unaware, as he suffers from early dementia. More importantly, as the world has become more interwoven and complex in both foreign and domestic policy, it has been an arguable reality that the job of president has for quite some time, been much more figurehead than a hands on, roll up one’s sleeve type of position.

More than just delegation, whereby a president directs his or her staff to carry out directives, a president’s office is filled with advisors from the army of agencies our government has acquired over the years. Indeed the rapidity of weight gain by our expansive and growing government in the 20th century is akin to an obese an unrepentant shut in, reliant on fast food policies and the creation of half baked agencies, to sort out the inability of our bloated government to react quickly and intelligently, to the myriad of crises that arise daily and hourly in the world.

Rather than go on a restricted diet and exercise restraint to become more nimble and responsive to the fast paced demands of running a nation, our government chooses to chow down on more processed bureaucratic junk food, rather than simplify lethargy by cutting back on the empty and caloric heavy reliance on agencies and administrators, government doubles down adding bureaucrats to solve administrative sluggishness. And of course those extra layers of government blubber are only effective at bloating pensions, and keeping waste and corruption growing ever menacing to our free society.

Who is running the country has been the question, since we have witnessed the addle-brained POTUS try and read a teleprompter without stammering, mumbling and then explaining with aphasia what message he wants to impart to us. It is a horrific thing to witness, especially as we wonder what our enemies in the world might be thinking. It is distressing to watch this man akin to Mr. Magoo, parading our weakness and vulnerabilities in front of the eyes of our treacherous adversaries and worrying if they might attack us.

 We all know that any president in the last half century or longer, hasn’t carried the full reins of our nation’s actions and activities singularly in their hands of course, and administrators direct and control a galloping race of incidents, events and consequences that occur worldwide and constantly. Perhaps before Trump’s presidency, we assumed those helping to hold the carriage reins, (Deep State) would not, and do not, act to illegally handicap our nation to lose our way, yet Americans found out during Trump’s presidency that the “Deep State” is sinister and seditious. Americans have been shocked and dismayed to realize how treacherous Washington has become, and how powerful the non-elected bureaucrats misuse their power.

It seems we no longer can trust the career government bureaucrats to adhere to the Constitution, the law and their oath of office. Now colloquially called the “Deep State”, many Americans view this extra-branch of government known as the administrative state as the enemy of the people. The “Deep State” isn’t elected, isn’t vetted, isn’t answerable to Congress, isn’t fired, isn’t answerable it seems to anyone as it operates anonymously using its own radical Marxist ideology to steer our ship of state. Many in the “Deep State” are loyal to Obama and the radical Democrat policies, and are heel-bent on transforming our nation into a social Republic regardless of our casted votes.

Therefore, FJB should be FTDS or F@#$ the Deep State. It is our intelligence community, our Pentagon, our DOJ, FBI, NSA, CIA, DHS, IRS and all agencies from Energy Department to Bureau of land Management that have been infiltrated with ideologues, that have wriggled their way into power positions and usurped our nation from the inside. They do not fear of reprisal, prison, shame or condemnation for the sabotaging of this great nation and the cause for which it stands.

So F@#$ the Deep State! F@#$ the ideological hacks that sabotaged Trump’s administration and continues to lead our nation into Marxists socialism. Indeed F@#$ also those wimpy condone-ers who quietly allow these thieves of our Republic to continue to operate in the dark shadows, without doing more to root out these seditious subversives.

F@#$ all the Washington prosecutors, lawyers, and Capital Hill police that spend their time covering up their crimes rather than expose and enforce our laws. Yes, F@#$ Joe Biden and all that the “Deep State” stands for, because their elitist power grab has weakened our nation and polluted our freedom.

However a word of caution to the elites in the Beltway, I would suggest you temper your hubris because this country’s citizenry may feel helpless while you pull the strings of this nation’s flag apart, but remember that Americans know how to sow freedom back together.

If we have to put this nation back together again from scratch, we can do it. Whereas, it is apparent that you in the “Deep State” only know how to destroy things that work, and create things that are inoperable before they are even used. So don’t feel so smug, because more Americans are angrier than ever before and as vulgar and inarticulate as it might sound, sometimes there is a place for the sentiment, F@#$ YOU!

THE ARB REPORT OR A-LL R-UBBISH AND B-UNK



The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on held a hearing Thursday September, 19 with members of the Accountability Review Board that testified about their report on Benghazi. The ARB report that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was allowed to read first before Congress and who was never questioned by these so-called investigators shows itself to be a warmed over government excuse report rather than a hard fact finding search for the truth. 

This (ARB) in-house government review report as to the events in Benghazi, Libya was not a serious, probing, comprehensive or real search for accountability. Instead it was an inquiry of the State Department done without witnesses being under oath, without a transcription of questions and answers, and in some cases without any notes taken and recorded by the fact finders. 

It is one thing for the members of the government review to claim that their objective was solely to find what bureaucratic mistakes and poor security planning existed so as to make improvement recommendations, yet it is quite another to claim no one in senior office is responsible for incompetency. One has to ask why they would call themselves an accountability review board. When did the word accountability become synonymous with faultless? 

The ARB report and the testimony from the Board members came across to all Americans watching the hearings as the genesis of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton infamous line “What difference does it make?” They were not seeking the truth, not seeking to critically evaluate State Department officials for not having adequate security in Benghazi nor did the board want to chastise the Department of Defense that failed to mount a rescue response.

The Democrats on the committee were full of rage but it was at their Republican members for being critical of the lack of investigation done by the board rather than the debacle of Benghazi. These Democrats went so far as to accuse some Republican members as being disrespectful. Yet I was always taught along with many Americans that questioning authority is our duty as citizens.

The real disrespectful action on that committee was when the mother of Sean Smith and the father of Tyrone Woods were placed at the witness table the Democrats left the hearing. I think that clearly defines an act of disgraceful disrespect and disregard by Democrats for the families of the fallen heroes.  

The sum total of what was learned at this hearing was that no one, not one, senior official in the State Department was at fault for a lack of security and that there was not enough time to mount a rescue. To believe those two postulations about Benghazi would require you to not just be a low information voter but also among the most gullible and naïve persons on the planet. 

Whitewash is not a strong enough term to describe the cover-up and disdainful treatment of the truth by this rubber stamping board that produced a narrative report backing the lies told by this administration to the American people about the events of Benghazi.

In the compelling testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods that spoke of their search for answers as to why their sons died, alone and abandoned by this administration we Americans identify in two ways. One we feel their pain that their sons gave their life for our country and officials of that country lied (protest caused by a video) about the cause of their deaths. Two, we agree with their distrust of an administration that continues to promote the lie that there was no stand down order and no resources that could have been mobilized to rescue their sons.

If the Administration and the Democrats supporting this administration in Congress thinks that the ARB (All Rubbish and Bunk) report will finally stop the families, veterans and the majority of Americans from seeking both truth and accountability for the reckless, cowardice and political treachery of Benghazi, they are living a delusional reality.




Americans will continue to seek the truth about Benghazi, and we will not abandon, stand down, or accept the new normal, that when America is under attack, our Commander in Chief of our military, goes MIA (missing in accountability).

COLD AS LIQUID NITROGEN



In testimony by the outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee on the Benghazi attack, Americans finally heard information on our President’s level of command and compassion for our diplomats and soldiers in jeopardy. 

In a regular scheduled DOD meeting with the President that lasted 30 minutes only 15 minutes was devoted to the crises unfolding in Benghazi. Leon Panetta expressed to the President and defended the same argument to the committee that there was nothing the military could do to aide those in Benghazi. 

The President reportedly told Panetta to do what could be done and it was on to other routine business. According to Panetta there was no follow up conversations with the President, no contact with the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the military never secured or put boots on the ground in Benghazi to secure the compound because there was no request to do so.

The Obama administration has little shock value to those of us that have been reading the fine print of his administration while ignoring the mainstream media’s sound bite spin yet I admit to being stunned by the cavalier posture of both the President and his top military commanders.

 It was an “oh by the way” discussion at a regularly scheduled meeting?  It was only a 15 minute conversation? There was no statement such as “Mobilize all the available military assets we have and get to the Benghazi compound, I want planes in the air and boots on the ground ASAP.” No follow up conversation with the President at all beyond a 15 minute conversation by the Secretary of Defense Panetta that nothing could be done?

Panetta went on to testify that the military support in incidences such as this one is not to be used as “the 911” to call for support? What?
 
Okay now all Americans especially active military and veterans should be apoplectic with disgust at the Commander and Chief and his chief minister of defense of no defense. Obama’s cold distant and complete lack of engagement reaction is beyond digestion. Travon Martin received more attention by our President than Ambassador Chris Stevens, Tyron Woods, Glen A. Doherty and Sean Smith.

It is more than disheartening to know that our government watched these men undergo an assault through the use of a drone video and did not even try to move assets into place to help these men. There is no past President that I can imagine regardless of being a Republican or Democrat that would not have tried to move heaven and earth to at least try and save these men.

In fact Americans would be able to feel at least rested of unease had we mobilized the assets even if they were too late to save lives but showed our military presence in Benghazi out of respect of our men, to the military and to the Libyans, and to the world.

Instead, the President did nothing but head off to campaign to remain Commander in Chief for another term.
Instead, the President lied to the American people that the Benghazi attack was unclear as to being caused by a protest over a video or a planned act of terrorism.

Instead the President continued to claim on the campaign stump that by his killing of Ben Laden “Al Qaida was decimated”. 

Instead the President sent out Susan Rice Ambassador to the United Nations to puppet a myth that the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous uprising over protests of an anti-Islamic YouTube video.

Instead, the President lied behind the skirt of Candy Crowley in the presidential debate with Romney that he had called the Benghazi attack terrorism at the Rose Garden. 

Instead, of taking responsibility his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stepped up to take responsibility however, in the new definition of responsibility in the Obama administration that means no blame, no fault, no mistakes, no regrets, no shame and absolutely no adverse consequences such as losing their job.

Instead, of full disclosure to the families of the victims and the American public regarding all the continuing unanswered questions about Benghazi such as where are the victims that were saved by the brave soldiers who died that day, and who changed the “talking points” to claim it was a spontaneous uprising based on a video, we are still left with a silent and empty Executive Branch chair.

Cold as ice is not strong enough to describe a President that did not give a second thought (no follow up) to our Ambassador and the brave men that fought to their deaths for America and Americans.
Even liquid nitrogen is warmer than the heartless space and void chest cavity that characterizes this President’s actions and in-actions making the Grinch even on his most callous of days seem more caring than our Commander in Chief.


Americans should demand a non-partisan investigation because we have an administration covering up for the White House that did not provide cover for our diplomatic personnel. The more information that is exposed exposes a dangerously disengaged American government bureaucracy that has no accountability, credibility or soul.
