A Truth Journal: President Obama: Can I Please Use My Drone to Kill a U. S. Citizen Overseas?: From Denny: Are you ready for the latest weird out of this White House that popped like an ugly zit today?

Apparently, according to "them" (intelligence community [IC], Pentagon, White House), there is a U. S. citizen who is a member of Al-Qaeda. They claim he is planning attacks on U. S. targets overseas and they want to kill him using a drone.

Enter President Obama's supposed new stricter targeting guidelines the government claims are hobbling their efforts to kill said U. S. citizen who they claim is a terrorist. Now, mind you, has the guy had a trial? Nope...

A Truth Journal: NSA Protest, The Day We Fight Back: Greed Cartel Be Wary of the Three R's: From Denny: What the last eight months of revelations about the wholesale spying and collections wrongdoing of the NSA, the Pentagon, Congress, Wall Street, our federal judicial system - in the form of the harsh and devious DOJ, the rubber-stamping secret FISA Court, the weak Supreme Court that appointed said rubber-stamping secret FISA Court, the expansion of odiousness from this Obama White House of President Bush 43's start-up programs have brought to light is the callous disregard for the American people, even the people of the world. Congress and now this White House are peopled by billionaires and millionaires - too many profiting from defense contracts - making decisions that will impact regular people for generations...

A Truth Journal: Check Out Colbert Report Features Indie Band Lake Street Dive

A Truth Journal: Check Out Colbert Report Features Indie Band Lake Street Dive: 3 videos - and interview with band members.

From Denny: While Al-Qaeda whines about how other terrorist groups [in addition to them] are fighting each other in Syria and behaving badly, the Colbert Bump is in full swing back here in America.

Oh, come on, Sec. of State Kerry and President Obama, just sit back and wait for all those terrorists coalescing in Syria to thrash it out until there are fewer groups. Then you send in the drones. Let these guys do your work for you.

Look at it this way: Stupid is as stupid does. Terrorist groups continue to mass in Syria. Well, we sure know where to find them. It will be like shooting fish in a barrel. At least the IC should be tagging and identifying these now easy to find terrorists.

Meanwhile, rather than write yet another political post and yell at the TV news tonight, our house switched over to Colbert Report and found this awesome indie music group. These folks will definitely benefit from the Colbert Bump. But, you know what, they have game - and lots of it.

Dennys Global Politics: White House Press Briefing: Trade, Arms Control Treaties, Afghan Corruption, Sochi Olympics, Unemployment: Press Gaggle aboard Air Force One en route WI, 1/30/14: From Denny: Just so you can see how the press interacts with the White House and how the White House responds on the issues of the day - and unfiltered. At least this level of transparency has been fulfilled by this President. His record on the NSA? Not so good at all.

Another bone to pick with my fellow media: Why isn't ALL of this news that's being discussed in these White House press briefings getting out to the public? Morning shows spend way too much time discussing Justin Bieber's hair, clothes and antics to shed his Good Boy image rather than informing about world issues that easily affect our economy, our families' security and our ability to hold long-term and well-paying jobs...

A Truth Journal: WTF? Daily Show Rats Out Pentagon Denying PTSD Help 40 Years: Insulting Vietnam Vets: From Denny: It's gotten to the point in America that the only way military veterans can get the help they need is to take to the airwaves, especially comedy shows, to inform the public and put pressure on Pentagon officials and politicians.

These two Vietnam War era veterans are interviewed on the Daily Show, revealing how absolutely ridiculous is the "leadership" at the Pentagon. Is it any wonder we have the pompous a$$e$ installed at the helm of the NSA and its ensuing outrageous mass global surveillance for the past two administrations?

A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Mocks New Jersey Obvious: Gov. Chris Christie Payback Scandal

A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Mocks New Jersey Obvious: Gov. Chris Christie Payback Scandal:

3 funny videos.
From Denny: Talk about the typical greedy politician. Need a good laugh? Wait until you hear what Jon Stewart had to say about Republican 2016 contender Rep. Paul Ryan's imagined thoughts - upon hearing of Christie's investigation misfortunes. (Ryan was Romney's horrifically bad choice for VP in 2012.)

Comic Jon Stewart wastes no time exploiting the latest political scandal. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was up beyond 20 points ahead of his competition in the election, winning his second term in November. But, in September, to ensure he mocked his Democrat competition, Christie just had to grind them in the ground. He does carry the reputation of the excessive bully like a cheap suit, complete with full blown temper tantrums - which Stewart reveals on tape.

A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Applauds No NSA Reforms Proposed By President Obama

A Truth Journal: Jon Stewart Applauds No NSA Reforms Proposed By President Obama:

2 funny videos.
From Denny: Were you all waiting anxiously on the edge of your seat for President Obama to announce the historical sweeping NSA reforms? Yeah, me too. I went to bed early because we all knew the Obama reforms were a non-starter.

Looks like even America's comics agree with me. Gee, for all my fussing and cussing at the NSA trolls harassing me as both a journalist and an annoying NSA critic (to them) complaining of their incompetence, I noticed today they had returned to their usual WTF stalking. Yes, DNI Clapper, your NSA gremlins did not obey you for long when you told them to lay off journalists and me in particular.

Warriors Pearl Foundation

Helping homeless female military veterans come home. Started up this foundation charity when I read about how 5,000 or more female military veterans are homeless, most due to having been raped while serving in the military.

Currently, the Pentagon is not helping them as active women service members only make up 15 percent of the military. Their needs involve the issue of PTSD. The Pentagon is falling down on helping ALL soldiers with PTSD as thousands commit suicide every year from being denied help for eight months or longer after returning from a war zone.

This little foundation charity is working off the model of giving its profits to those charities who are working to help those suffering from PTSD and homeless female military vets. For those of you who are already supporting this funding effort, thank you! Please tell your friends and let's pull together to get our former service members properly housed and the medical help they need.
