Obama in 3D: Even Better Than the Real Thing

Another first, from LivingScience:

3d-printed-obama-bust

To his list of firsts, Barack Obama can add that he was the first U.S. President to have himself scanned and 3D printed.

Obama's 3D-printed bust and mold of his face were on display Wednesday (June 18) at the first-ever White House Maker Faire, a celebration of students and entrepreneurs who are using technology to create new products and businesses, according to the Smithsonian Institution.

Unfortunately the 3D version of our first Black President appears to be all white, obviously a racist right wing plot. It did seem to accurately capture his likeness otherwise, right down to the thin skin.

In other news, Big Guy awarded Retired Marine Cpl. William “Kyle” Carpenter the Medal of Honor at a White House ceremony.

obama-medal-of-honor-1

All I can say is this is a better look than she sported for the posthumous MOH ceremony for  U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Jared C. Monti,

butt maybe you can add your thoughts.

Finally, Raj ordered me a 3D printer and android app, so pretty soon I’ll be able to print my own endless supply if 3D Big Guys. The app does have some drawbacks; for example, just like Big Guy himself, it takes forever to actually complete the job and the final product is exceptionally small. small bo

Iraq: Further Down the Rabbit Hole of Unknown Unknows

 

alice in wonderland

Random thoughts on Big Guy’s random thoughts on Iraq:

We have had advisors in Iraq through our embassy, and we're prepared to send a small number of additional American military advisers -- up to 300 -- to assess how we can best train, advise and support Iraqi security forces going forward.

Three words: John Fitzgerald Kennedy. ‘Nuff said.

Iran can play a constructive role if it's helping to send the same message to the Iraqi government that we are sending, which is that Iraq only holds together if it's inclusive and if the interests of Sunni, Shia and Kurd are all respected...

Which of course makes as much sense as expecting Hanoi to “send the same message” to Saigon as we were sending them.

And going forward, we will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it.

Didn’t we try that once before?

Above all, Iraqi leaders must rise above their differences and come together around a political plan for Iraq’s future. 

I wonder if that applies to the American people as well?

…it's clear that only leaders who can govern with an inclusive agenda will truly bring the Iraqi people together.

Ditto, my comment above.

In related news: ISIS seizes Saddam-era chemical weapons complex. Wait, what? I thought there were no weapons of mass destruction. Didn’t Ms. Megyn just inform the real Dick Cheney the other night that he was wrong about that, as well as everything else? You don’t suppose Dick Cheney was right all along and we just never located the WMD do you? Oh well, what difference, at this point, does it make?

And finally, a curious gesture has emerging among ISIS terrorists; they’ve adopted an American Sports expression, generally reserved for champions: WE’RE NUMBER 1!

isis terrorist we're#1Just when you think things can’t possibly get any odder, they suddenly get even curiouser and curiouser.

Spider holes, rabbit holes: again, I ask, what difference at this point does it make?

There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. – Donald Rumsfeld

Unfortunately for Barack Hussein Obama, we’ve blown through the known knows, the known unknowns and now we’re up to the unknown unknowns.

Home, Home of the CHANGE®

Oh, give me a home, where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a disparaging word
And the skies are now cloudy all day.

Chorus:
Home, home of the CHANGE®
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a disparaging word
And the skies are now cloudy all day.

adrus cloud somewhere near kearny
Forecast: Cloudy, with a chance of meatheads

Today’s reflection:

What does it mean when the country that practically invented “free speech” now censors your trademarks for politically incorrect “disparaging” words?

In what some see as the first step to forcing the Washington Redskins football team to change their name, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Wednesday cancelled six federal trademarks of the team name because it's “disparaging” to Native Americans.

Also for your consideration: What happens when the formerly freest nation on earth has turned its federal agencies – from the IRS to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office –  into political arms of the ruling class/party, populated by partisan hacks?

All I can say is watch out Big Boy, Lady M’s coming for you next:

And there are others out there – and you know who you are - that might want to start reconsidering their traemarks as well:

CHANGE Has Come to America.

Today’s reflection, compliments of Megyn Kelly:

 

Meanwhile, as tens of thousands illegal alien children flow across our southern border, BHO met with another group of underage illegal aliens in the White House yesterday where he hailed them as  “Champions of Change.”  Well there’s your CHANGE, chump. HOPE you like it.

Oh, and Congress convened a hearing yesterday to investigate…products that claim to help you lose weight fast(!?). Apparently they don’t work – the products, not Congress - which is a shame as I can think of a whole lot of fat I’d like to lose.

Hillary’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Today’s reflection:

By all reports Hillary’s book tour was a disaster and her book is a bomb!

140411_hillary_clinton_ducks_sg_328_365x197Duck! Incoming!! And it’s not friendly fire this time!

Can you believe it? Maybe if there had been something new and different in her book “Hard Choices” – like the truth – it would have been more compelling.

For example, if she had told us about the CIA’s Stinger missiles arms deal with Syrian “rebel” forces (i.e. terrorists) and why that ultimately led to the death of Ambassador Stevens, now that might have sold a few books. And if she had explained how the Syrian “rebel” forces in Syria gave some of those missiles to the Iraqi “rebel” forces (i.e. terrorists)  – now that could have been a blockbuster!

Instead she just ducked and covered old ground, where, you know, the science is settled:

Clinton responded: “They are trying constantly to, you know, raise false canards, you know, plant, you know, false information, and that’s what they do.”

“Yeah, Karl Rove tried that with my health and got totally, you know, shot down. I am so used to these people. They’re like a bunch of, you know, gamers,” said Clinton.

Sounds like Hill (the smartest woman in the world) is vying for the Caroline Kennedy/Lady M non-fluency record. Butt hey - Hills got a $14 million advance for her book whereas I’m reusing my tea bags, so who am I to question her “Hard Choices?” Besides if she’s that rich, she must be smart, right?

251140-2011-hillary-clinton-toasts-hu-jintaoI’ll drink to that.

bo gives hillary the finger“I mean, “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” Right?

Oh what the heck, let’s just bunt it.

Today’s reflection is brought to you via Roger Simon: America, The Headless Horseman.

america_headless_horseman_6-14-14

He gives a brief update on new and existing scandals:

…the Benghazi terrorists using State Department cell phones (!), a crusade of Hispanic children pouring over our Southern border in the company of cartel drug lords and, of course, the suddenly “missing” IRS emails of Lois Lerner — the Obama administration has reached  levels of hitherto unknown incompetence.

Relays a criticism leveled at our vacationing Commander in Chief:

Today, on Twitter, a veteran named J. R. Salzman tweeted: “I did not get an arm blown off in Baghdad so you could sit on your ass and watch Iraq fall, @BarackObama. I did my job. DO YOUR JOB.”

And notes that:

This is a moment when we need a Churchill and what we have is the man who sent Churchill’s bust home — a nowhere man whose only demonstrable skill is fund-raising.

I wonder if any of this accounts for the fact that the President’s own party can’t even produce an accurate facsimile of an American flag?

dems idea of a flag

Cute kid butt slight problem: that’s not actually a flag, it’s bunting. Boy, if that’s not an excellent metaphor for Big Guy’s foreign policy; probably due to a checked swing though, not an actual bunt.

The Regals Have Landed

Note: if you live in or are visiting the Palm Springs area this weekend, be prepared for a little inconvenience:

The following roads will be closed for vehicle and pedestrian traffic from 11 a.m. Friday through noon Monday for the visit of President Barack Obama and first ...

Flight restrictions to follow.

That’s right! The Regals have landed! For a little me time ahead of Father’s Day.

Do a little speech, play a little golf
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little speech, play a little golf
Get down tonight, get down tonight
H/T
K.C. And The Sunshine Band

 

1402711659000-MichelleObamaSkirt20140613_thumb[2]Watch out Marilyn! Michelle is here!

Prior to hitting the links and the cash machine in Palm Springs, BHO managed to squeeze in a “meeting of the mimes” and do a bit of speechify about the increasingly hot situation in Iraq. Specifically, he stated definitively that:

  • we will be monitoring the situation in Iraq
  • our priority remains to be vigilant against threats to our personnel serving overseas (how’s that working out for you?)
  • we will be consulting with Congress as we make determinations about further options (is that really necessary?)
  • he asked his national security team to prepare an array of other options (uh, isn’t that what they’re there for?)
  • I’ll be reviewing those options in the days ahead (after my fund raiser and relaxing golf weekend)

So don’t worry, America, I’ve got your back! Even though we were caught flat footed again surprised by the latest chaos that has erupted in Iraq:

Big Guy will have his Secretary of State get all over this latest world crisis as soon as he’s done reciting poetry in London:

“Out of the huts of history’s shame / I rise / Up from a past that’s rooted in pain / I rise,” - Secretary of State John Kerry intoned at the “Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict.”

Oh yes, we are on correct path, comrade. (h/t Vereteno)

Molsterman Report #6: Obama’s American Taliban Comes Home to Roost

the-molsterman-report-no-press-copy_

NOTE:  This is part of a continuing series of exclusive, clandestine, interviews with my mole known only as “Deep Quote” or “Molsterman,”  (who may or may not also be known as “Little Mo” to the MOTUS community) Molsterman is currently serving under deep cover at NSA. (Presented, as always, with apologies to the Ulsterman Report)

I recently sat down again with Molsterman to talk about the controversy surrounding Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s ransom and return .

MOTUS: Thanks for stopping by. I understand you have been digging into NSA’s Bowe Bergdahl dossier.

Molsterman: Yeah, I’m a mole, that’s what I do: dig.

MOTUS: Okay, sorry, butt you have been looking into the Bowe Bergdahl story, right?

Molsterman: Yeah, that’s right. I’ve been rooting around, and since he headed back to the U.S. late yesterday I thought you would want to know about some of the dope I have on him.

MOTUS: So, what have you unearthed  that the MOTUS Nation should know about?

Molsterman: The MOTUS Nation? You’ve been listening to too much talk radio, doll. Turn it off and rely on people like me if you want the straight scoop.

Look, the official record wasn’t “finalized” at the Landstuhl medical center in Germany until yesterday. It looks like  Bergdahl has finally “learned” what happened to him so he’s deemed  safe and free to return home and meet with his family. From what I hear though, there were many, many  rehearsals, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

MOTUS: You said Bergdahl had to “learn” what happened to him?

Molsterman: Good, you’re paying attention.

MOTUS: Butt wouldn’t he know what happened to him? Or did he get a bump on the head, like Hillary?

Molsterman: You can’t still be that naïve, MOTUS. You know as well as I do that what really happened ain’t gonna cut it: not with the Republicans, not with the Democrats, not with the Media and certainly not with Big Guy. No way is the story gonna be “Bowe hates America, deserted his post and joined the Taliban.” That’s just a bad B movie. And they disliked the CIA’s story  of the “Manchurian POW” even more, so that leaves us just one option.

 

bowe taliban copyAfter getting his head wrapped around the local customs, “Bergdahl served with honor and distinction.”

MOTUS: Are you suggesting that they are going to make up “the big lie” about what happened?

Molsterman: No, I’m not suggesting it, I’m confirming it.

MOTUS: Well, what will they say?

Molsterman: This will be the official story line: Bowe was always a sensitive kid, when he was younger he used ballet to work through his inner conflicts – just like Rahm, except he wasn’t Jewish.

bowe rahm ballet dancers

 Bowe and Rahm: kindred spirits

 

He joined the Coast Guard, but washed out in less than a month, having been deemed exceptionally sensitive to sea sickness and joined the Army shortly thereafter, as they don’t often have to deal with boats and water.

Deeply troubled by Bush’s war, Bowe enlisted so he could help the Afghan people. When he got to Afghanistan he was overwhelmed by the senseless loss of life - and lack of discipline within his unit - and he just wanted the killing on both sides to stop. He thought that if he went to the Taliban leaders, alone and unarmed, he could convince them to end the war because, after all, they are members of the religion of peace.  Had anyone been paying close attention they would have noted that Bowe was as delusional as Obama and clearly didn’t belong anywhere near a theatre of war. But alas, as stated previously, discipline in his unit was lax so nobody noticed.

Bowe will say the Taliban didn’t understand his intentions, but treated him well – except for that one time when he tried to escape, but that was all his fault. They shared their food, language and religion with him;  and on the whole they proved themselves to be hail fellows well met.  He will say he is sorry he left his post, but his intentions were pure and he planned to return as soon as he had secured a cease fire from the Taliban. Then he’ll thank Obama, Allah and his parents for bringing him home at such a great expense (to be calculated and paid at a later date).

MOTUS: So, that’s not the way it actually happened?

Molsterman: Kid, are you sure you’re ready for prime time? That cockamamie story wouldn’t even fly as a Homeland plot. The truth is locked down at NSA and Langley; all his emails, phone calls, and daddy’s too. I can’t tell you everything, but I can tell you that all the Taliban ever asked for was money.  It was our side - well, technically “our side” - that suggested the swap for 5 crazed terrorists. Getting rid of Gitmo’s worst of the worst makes transferring the rest of them to the Land of Lincoln to serve out their days much more palatable to the good citizens of Illinois.

Unfortunately the whole scam is beginning to collapse under the weight of so many amateur prevaricators: first Obama said he was the decider; then he said Hagel was the actual decider, only Hagel didn’t get the memo telling him to fall on his sword, so he tells Congress it was Big Guy’s idea all along. Despite anything you may have heard, there’s really no honor among thieves and scoundrels.

The real story will come out some day, long after these Chicagoland thugs have gone. The career spooks don’t like this posse, not one little bit. But they’re still afraid of them so we won’t get the truth until it’s too late.

MOTUS: Will that fly? I mean, even Chris Matthews thinks the Bergdahl guy’s a deserter. And as they say, once you’ve lost the Tingles, the thrill is gone…

Part 1:

 

Part 2:

 

Molsterman: Yeah, Tingles has already heard from ’bama Central, and  he’ll tone it down and probably have to apologize for his rash comments. Nobody is going to let the story be “Obama traded 5 of the most vicious, dangerous anti-American terrorists in the world for a traitor who deserted his post and collaborated with the enemy,”  although that is the short version.

So the Pentagon will “investigate” and conclude that Bowe left his post without authorization because of the lax discipline displayed by the commanding officers in his unit. They will find that he fully intended to return after he had a chance to talk to the terrorists and help them see the light. Either that or they’ll say he just wandered off into the beautiful countryside to watch another glorious sunrise, fell asleep, lost his compass,  got disoriented and couldn’t find his way home.  Either way, as you like to say MOTUS, “ipso fatso” he was not technically a deserter.

They’ll throw the military a bone by reducing his rank, docking his pay and slapping him on the wrist.  Bowe will apologize to America and his platoon – in both English and Pashto. He’ll say his heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones in the effort to find him. Then he will say, with a weak quivering  voice, that he wishes he could trade places with the soldiers who died trying to find him…and I do too.

MOTUS: Wow, the whole story is kind of scary.

Molsterman: You bet your mainframe girly. I’ve already told you too much. So if anybody asks, tell them I just made it all up in order to give you an early summer ratings bump. And I needed to get the book outline down for my editor anyway, so you might as well get a scoop.

MOTUS: You’re writing a book!?

Molsterman: Of course, everyone is and I’ve heard the retainers are astronomical if you have a big enough name or enough poop to scoop.

MOTUS: Butt you just said that it was all basically a pack of lies.

Molsterman: Two things: lies sell, and really big lies sell really big. Plus, haven’t I taught you anything? Just because I told you they were lies doesn’t mean they’re not true.

MOTUS: Oh. Now I’m confused and scared.

Molsterman:  No need to be. BTW, did I mention that I’ll be needing to hole up here in your bunker for a while?

MOTUS: Sweet! It’s always fun when you visit. Can you stay for the weekend?  I’ll get the rollaway out and make some popcorn.

Molsterman: It might be longer than that. I’ve made a few enemies at State, NSA and the Pentagon with this one, so I need to lay low for awhile. And I won’t be needing  the rollaway. I’ll just be sitting here, back to the wall, facing the door. Oh, and maybe popcorn isn’t such a good idea either. I may be a little jittery and I don’t want the sound of popcorn hitting a metal lid to set off a code blue around here.

MOTUS: OK then. Oh my! Is that a 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum!? I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to have that in here, Molsterman.

Molsterman: Don’t worry, nobody knows I’m here.

MOTUS: That’s a pretty big gun for such a little mole; why in the world do you even have a .50 caliber revolver?

Molsterman: Just one reason little missy... ‘cause they don’t make a .51 caliber.

2.-Smith-Wesson-.500-SW-MagnumMolsterman: Now you should get back to work and just act normal.

MOTUS: Nothing has been “normal” around here for going on 6 years, butt you mean just keep on reflecting, like usual?

Molsterman: That’s right, reflect the truth back into the universe. That’s all anybody can do anymore. You keep reflecting, your readers can keep deriding and people like me will have to take care of the rest.

And remember: You didn’t see me. I was never here. I am like the wind, sort of like the Big Guy.
