It really doesn’t make sense anymore to refer to Barack Obama as the “President” of the United States of America. He has long since abandoned the duties and responsibilities of that office as outlined in the Constitution, instead assuming powers which that document was specifically designed to outlaw. He needs a new title — but what should it be? The Duke of Earl would work for me, conveying both the pretension and the absurdity of the role he is trying to play. As he walks through this world, nothing can stop him — because he’s the Duke of Earl. Or is that being unfair to a great and wonderfully witty rock and roll song?

Now that the Supreme Court has struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, what stands between me, an unprotected straight man, and gay marriage?

I guess I will just have to go ahead and marry a man, since my last line of defense against the inevitability of this has been swept away.

The gentleman of the Texas State Legislature didn’t treat this little lady very well, did they? Indeed they behaved towards her like craven eunuchs.

Oh, men of Texas, you who once fought the merciless Comanche, tamed a wilderness and treated women with gallantry — your strain grows weaker.

It appears that Edward Snowden may not be in Russia, but if he is Putin should respond to America’s arrogant and self-righteous demands for extradition by proposing the following — if Obama will ensure that James Clapper is prosecuted for lying to Congress, Russia will return Snowden to America so he can be prosecuted for exposing Clapper’s lies. That seems fair doesn’t it?

The present whereabouts of James Clapper (above) are not known — and the Obama administration isn’t offering any hints — but he’s believed to be hiding out in a government office building in McLean, Virginia hoping to avoid prosecution for lying to Congress, a crime that could land Clapper in jail for as much as five years. Both China and Russia have urged Obama to turn Clapper over to the DOJ for immediate indictment, to demonstrate to the world America’s commitment to the rule of law.

The U. S. government needs to stop whining to foreign governments about not following the rule of law with respect to Edward Snowden — it just throws into starker relief the practices of an administration which sees the “law” as an inconvenience it can disregard at will. Our spokesmen, like John Kerry, might as well wear red rubber noses and floppy clown shoes when they lecture other governments on the rule of law.

Don’t they realize the world is laughing at them?

Barack Obama is clearly, on the face of it, guilty of violating his oath of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. Violating an oath of office is, for a federal official, a federal crime. However, although the law is not settled on this point, there’s a general consensus that a sitting President cannot be indicted in a regular court of law, because of the issues this raises about the separation of powers.

The best way to get Obama into jail is thus for the House to impeach him and the Senate to convict him on the articles of impeachment, removing him from office. Then it will be possible to prosecute him criminally and send him to prison.

We need to get on this right away!

Barack Obama and his intelligence director James Clapper have both apparently opened secret negotiations with Kim Jong-un about the possibility of seeking asylum in North Korea in case they are prosecuted in the United States for their joint role in subverting the U. S. Constitution and, in Mr. Clapper’s case, lying to Congress. The State Department needs to revoke their passports immediately to insure they don’t avoid justice here at home.
