Questions About Current Events

I'm naturally curious, so I've been watching events unfold lately with a rather discerning eye.  Some things either don't make any sense to me or raise questions that remain unanswered, so I thought I'd raise them here in search of assistance:

--  With both the Foley and Sotloff murders at the hands of ISIS, what chills me isn't that both men were beheaded -- although that was horrific enough -- but what both men did before they were beheaded.  No one can know for sure, but both made declarations that were probably coerced, whether by force or by intimidation, thinking it would spare them, that denounced the President and our efforts in the area.  Both knelt there quite calmly as if they were resigned to their fates or as if they weren't expecting what ultimately happened to them.  My questions are, which is it?  Were they deceived and taken unaware?  Were they resigned to their fates?  Or was it something else?

--  How can the loyal liberal base be proud of the man they elected into the White House when he makes mistake after mistake such that even the MSM is questioning his competence?

--  Is it just me, or does that guy doing the Lady Jane's radio commercials sound like he could be related to the late actor Andy Devine?

--  Why o' why hasn't the government shored up the defenses along the southern border?

--  Does anyone else wonder how long it would take the US military to destroy the Mexican cartels?

--  With both Robin Williams and Joan Rivers gone now, who is the greatest living American comedian?

--  A choice must be made, and death is not an option:  Who's the worst spokesperson in this administration, Jay Carney or Jenn Psaki?

--  Has there been a worse Secretary of State than John Kerry?

-- Does Debbie Wasserman-Schultz really believe what comes out of her piehole, or does she go home and snicker to her husband about how she riled up the opposition with outlandish statements?

--  Why won't the President refer to ISIS as terrorists but will call them extremists instead?

--  Are the people claiming Megyn Kelly is a racist because she preferred to focus on the beheading of an American citizen by ISIS instead of another night of rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, stupid, drunk or high?

--  Why isn't the MSM pursuing harder the revelations by the DOJ about Lois Lerner's emails still existing?

--  Is the entire country against basic chocolate chip ice cream?

--  Why are critics so quick to call Fox News Faux News and ignore the obvious shortcomings and egregious behavior at MSNBC?

--  Why does Sean Hannity have to speak over guests with whom he disagrees when it's obvious that if he just let them talk, they'd prove his point for them?  Trying to prove he's a badass doesn't win him extra points.

--  Is the NFL in danger of jumping the shark?

--  Is Scarlett Johannson stupid or just rabidly partisan enough to design those t-shirts for Planned Parenthood that totally misconstrue the Hobby Lobby decision?

-- To the woman on Fox who is the biggest attention whore on television:  you're obviously an attractive, intelligent woman; why are you so needy when it comes to being seen?

-- When is Congress going to cut an immunity deal with Lois Lerner?

--  Will the expected result of the midterm elections portend anything for the 2016 presidential elections or will they have no effect?

--  Will Europe find the testicular fortitude to join the US and the UK and defeat ISIS before it's too late?

--  How does Al Sharpton have any credibility anymore?
