No Scholar is He**

Hot Air reports that Secretary of State (soon to be the next senator from the great state of Kansas*) Mike Popmeo says they assassinated Soleimani to stop an imminent attack. Could be. Reader(s) don't suppose Pompeo would lie about it, Obama style, do they? Did he blame the embassy attack on a video?

Speaking of....

We have gathered the twitter musings of Ben Rhodes, failed foreign policy advisor to the failed Obama Administration. Behold:

-The Iran Deal successfully rolled back Iran’s nuclear program and averted a war. Trump’s decision to pull out has led to Iran resuming its nuclear program and started this dangerous cycle of escalation that we are still on.
-Does anyone think Donald Trump is equipped to handle a complex, enduring, international crisis that could play out in many countries and demand expertise, rigorous process, and judicious decision-making?
-The stated goal of Trump's policy was to rollback Iran's nuclear program and regional provocations. Both have accelerated since he left the Iran Deal, and are likely to accelerate further.
-Trump has clearly been reluctant to strike inside Iran. Serious question as to whether he realized this would have the same impact, and what consequences it could bring.
-Serious contradiction that the justification for the strike was stopping attacks on US personnel, and the strike itself raises the risk of attacks. We need a clear explanation of the objectives and strategy.
-What is the strategy? We have no explanation about what happens now and what we are trying to achieve in a very serious international crisis.

Rhodes goes on and on. We are impressed by his undaunted lack of self-awareness.

Rhodes'  went to grad school to get an MFA in creative writing. We don't care that a non-specialist was advising on foreign policy, we care that he went to grad school for an MFA in writing when he could have been writing. Not smart, as a certain highly successful president with a habit of knocking off terrorist masterminds might say. 

This clip is as amazing as it is revealing. Rhodes has no words. His brain seemingly enters a loop were he is unable to 'process' what has happened and keeps tying to reboot, only to be confronted with reality over and over again. Three and a half years ago this blog told you people Trump would win. This blog was right. Rhodes simply couldn't imagine that Hillary! would lose.

And he thinks anyone should listen to him?

*You can tell he's running because he's lost weight.

Obama Crony Ben Rhodes is in Pain...

...and I like it. I like it a lot.

We've dealt with Obama crony Ben Rhodes before, mostly pointing out the futility of earning an MFA in Creative Writing.

That alone should give one pause about the man.

As we've often said, when Ben Rhodes was earning in MFA in Creative Writing, he could have been writing.

Anyway here's a clip making the rounds of Rhodes at an absolute loss for words on election night. In a word, he's stunned.

Parody Potential: Infinite 

You'd have to be an inhuman monster not to enjoy Rhodes' pain. 

What a twerp.

You know, back when Barrack Hussein Obama was giving illegal Mexicans free amnesty via executive order and making the Iran Deal without senate approval, we used to wonder, 'What are you guys gonna do when a Republican wins and starts writing executive orders?'

Of course over the last year we've learned of the Deep State's covert ops and illegal spying against the Trump campaign.

Look at Rhodes again.

The Dems never thought they'd lose another election.

The Messiah Doubts

In his new book, former Obama flunky Ben Rhodes* shows us that Obama saw himself as some sort of messianic figure. After Trump won Obama said, 'Sometimes I wonder whether I was 10 or 20 years too early.'

In 2008 Barrack Hussein Obama won 52.9 percent of the popular vote and 365 electoral votes.

Obama won a clean, solid and most respectable victory against a candidate past his prime who had missed his chance in 2000. Barrack Hussein Obama's victory also came in a time of war and recession with the unpopular president of the opposition party in the White House. His victory was also a milestone.

In 1988 George HW  Bush won 53..4 percent of the popular vote and 426 electoral votes

*We'll deal with this crud in another post.

Ben Rhodes, the Iran Deal, and an MFA in Creative Writing

After Bibi exposed Iran's nuclear program...

[Someone should really bomb the fuck out of it-Ed]

I know, right?'

Anyhoo...after Bibi exposed Iran's nuclear program The American Thinker helps us enjoy the humiliation of Ben Rhodes former Obama consiglieri and overall fanboi.

Recall that Rhodes not only sold the Iran Deal, but bragged about manipulating the media and creating an echo chamber in favor of said Iran deal. Jerk.

[Who are you calling a jerk? Ed?]

You know, we really don't care that Rhodes isn't a foreign policy specialist. Look at what some of those geniuses have come up with. 

Our big problem with Rhodes is that he has an MFA in Creative Writing. It is times like this we wish we had a laugh track button for when we don't feel our own laughing schadenfreude* is enough. A masters! All that time and money learning how to write novels when he could have been writing novels!

Our point, and we do have one...

[You sure about that?-Ed]

...is this. To paraphrase Eli Wallach, If you're  going to write, write. Don't take a class.
