KRISTALLNACHT 2.0: France’s Jews Flee Country in Record Numbers As Rioters Burn Shops To Chants Of ‘Gas The Jews’

Hey, France: how's that "multiculturalism" working out for you?

While I had seen the images and videos, I did not realize the depth of the depravity exhibited in the anti-Jewish riots in Paris. HuffPo UK reports, France’s Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Paris Shops, Attack Synagogue:

France’s politicians and community leaders have criticised the “intolerable” violence against Paris’ Jewish community, after a pro-Palestinian rally led to the vandalizing and looting of Jewish businesses and the burning of cars.

It is the third time in a week where pro-Palestinian activists have clashed with the city’s Jewish residents. On Sunday, locals reported chats of “Gas the Jews” and “Kill the Jews”, as rioters attacked businesses in the Sarcelles district, known as “little Jerusalem”.

Manuel Valls, France’s prime minister said: “What happened in Sarcelles is intolerable. An attack on a synagogue and on a kosher shop is simply anti-Semitism. Nothing in France can justify this violence.”


Say, I wonder how those COEXIST bumperstickers are selling in France?

To sum up:

• France's Jews are emigrating to Israel in record numbers after experiencing their own version of Kristallnacht

• Israel is under vicious attack from Hamas, a group with a direct Nazi lineage

• The barbaric ISIL terror group is now "worse than Al Qaeda" according to the State Department and is now "a full-blown Army"

• President Obama has ordered his FAA to enforce a virtual travel ban to the Jewish state, thereby further isolating it from the world

• John Kerry is once again slamming Israel for having the gall to protect itself

• Meanwhile, the Lightbringer™ is out fundraising -- also ignoring a crisis on the border, war in the Ukraine, China's moves in the South Pacific, a health care system in chaos, and a disastrous domestic employment situation -- before he heads off to Martha's Vineyard for a well-deserved respite from golf and speechifying

At what point do the nitwits who supported this man -- twice -- apologize to the rest of us?

That's a rhetorical question, because liberalism is their religion.

FALL OF THE LIGHTBRINGER: Media Suicide Edition

Remember when vintage media used to depict the Lightbringer with halos?

Hahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha. Good times, good times.


A quote from the forum, dated 3 June 2008:

I honestly don’t know whether to put this in religion or politics. I honestly feel the passion for Senator Obama expressed by most of his followers has equal elements of both - even if they deny it. But I suspect the moderators would move it here to politics if I put it in religion, so here it is in politics. I know this will make many people angry (primarily Obama followers grin ), but I am not looking to debate. I just wanted to display some of the images of Obama because I find the whole media’s marketing - in this case, just the visual elements- behind the man so fascinating.

The Obama Mania and Mass Hysteria (because that’s exactly what it is) that swept Senator Barack Obama to where he currently is was greatly helped by a friendly media eager to see him President. In that regard they have undertaken an effort to visually display Obama as a godlike messiah figure.

And that's about the best succinct explanation -- in layman's terms -- we have for Obama's presidency.

CODENAME ENERGIZER: Secret Service says Bill Clinton's buxom mistress appears at Chappaqua moments after Hillary leaves

Ronald Kessler has written a series of great books on the federal government, but his latest may be the capper.

Bill Clinton reportedly has a buxom blond mistress who visits so often when Hillary Clinton isn’t home in Chappaqua that the former president’s Secret Service detail have given her an unofficial code name: Energizer.

...Kessler quotes a supervisor informing a new agent: “You don’t stop her, you don’t approach her, you just let her go in.”

Energizer, who is described as charming and friendly, sometimes brought cookies to the agents... One told Kessler: “It was a warm day, and she was wearing a low-cut tank top, and as she leaned over, her breasts were very exposed. They appeared to be very perky and very new and full … There was no doubt in my mind they were enhanced.”

Kessler also reports that Hillary’s Secret Service detail informs Bill’s Secret Service detail when the former first lady is coming home, so Bill has time to get Energizer off the property and clean up any evidence.

...But once, the warning came late. “The agents had to scramble to get Energizer out of there so there wasn’t some kind of big confrontation.”

Kessler also reveals that Hillary is routinely rude to the agents who are sworn to take a bullet for her.
“Because she is so nasty to agents and hostile to law enforcement officers and military officers in general, agents consider being assigned to her detail a form of punishment,” Kessler wrote.

War on women, indeed.

Our summer intern @BiffSpackle claims the above photo is the only known image of "Energizer", though we have reasons to doubt its authenticity.

Hillary picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue

The Masked Avenger relays:

It’s a bad day in Hillary land.

First it was reported that Ready for Hillary got outraised by Ben Carson’s PAC, then the Free Beacon discovered that the Hillary staff collaborated with the University of Arkansas to ban the Free Beacon from the Clinton docs, the New York Post revealed that Schumer worked against Clinton in her 2000 Senate race, and finally CNN reported that liberals aren’t so keen on another Clinton in the White House and want Elizabeth Warren, one West Virginia Dem said “I am very torn because I want a Democrat in the White House, but I’m not sure its Hillary. To me she would be more of the same.”

And a report from the Washington Post read much the same, with “several attendees pleading with her [Elizabeth Warren] to run for president.”


Seems that air of inevitability is slipping away just as fast as her poll numbers are.

WELL, THIS IS A BUMMER FOR THE GUN-BAN CROWD: Murder Rates Drop as Concealed Carry Increases

The Crime Prevention Research Center has released a comprehensive analysis [PDF] of the statistical linkage between murder rates and the dramatic proliferation of concealed-carry permits. The conclusions, it goes without saying, are decidedly negative for the radical, anti-American gun-ban crowd.

...Between 2007 and the preliminary estimates for 2013, murder rates have fallen from 5.6 to 4.4 per 100,000 – a 22 percent drop in the murder rate at the same time that the percentage of the adult population with permits soared by 130 percent. Overall
violent crime also fell by 22 percent over that period of time...

...deterrence isn’t just a matter of whether states have adopted right-to-carry laws. It very much depends on the percentage of the population with permits.


...The six states that allow people to carry concealed handguns without a permit have much lower murder and violent crime rates than the six states with the lowest permit rates. Indeed, the murder rate is 23 percent lower in the states without permits. The violent crime rate is 12 percent lower. The murder and violent crime rates are also lower in the 25 states with the highest permit rates
compared to the rest of the US...

Piers Morgan hardest hit.

The Penultimate Photograph of Hillary Clinton

This gem from HopenchangeCartoons, uhm, pretty much says it all.


Doubly apropos because not only did Hillary claim to be "dead broke" when she left the White House (but somehow managed to put about a million dollars down on a loan for her mansion), but she also is believed to be the author of the Benghazi video lie.

Why is this only the "penultimate photograph"?

I still consider Monica Lewinsky's blue dress the pinnacle of Clinton hagio-photography.

In Narrow Ruling, Supreme Court Invalidates 3 Obama Appointments


by Krishnadev Calamur

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that three appointments President Obama made in 2012 to the National Labor Relations Board are not valid because they were not approved by the Senate, which was in pro forma session at the time.

In a unanimous decision, the justices said the Constitution's recess-appointments clause gave Congress the power to decide when it is in recess, and that there was no recess when Obama acted. The case is National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning...

What a bunch o' crackpots.

No wonder they can't survive without government assistance.


A SYMPHONY OF LIES: Old Media's Despicable Attacks on Scott Walker

By James Simpson

The news was filled last week with breathless headlines: “Scott Walker part of ‘criminal scheme,’” declared The Washington Post. The Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Journal Sentinel, which is intimately familiar with the facts of this case, nonetheless headlined “John Doe prosecutors allege Scott Walker at center of ‘criminal scheme.’” The New York Times, all the networks, CNN, MSNBC, Time.com and all the other usual suspects chimed in with a deafening cacophony of alarm, using the same “Walker at center of criminal scheme” headlines. Even Forbes took the bait.

In a year saturated with false, misleading or downright fraudulent misreporting from the left-wing biased mass media, this disgraceful bit of propaganda vies for first place. The court documents in this formerly secret investigation were not new, and the case has been thrown out of court and declared illegal, not once but twice.

Not only were the same headlines used, but most news outlets used the same dishonest technique to make this old information sound like it was breaking news. Politico’s lead paragraph reads:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker participated in a “criminal scheme” to coordinate fundraising for Republicans trying to beat back efforts to recall him and state senators from office, local prosecutors argue in court documents released Thursday.

Politico lies. By stating it in the present tense as, “prosecutors argue in court documents released Thursday,” Politico implies the allegations are current. These documents are from last year and have only been unsealed because these same prosecutors are now being sued by their former victims for their rampant abuse of the legal system.

UN-FLIPPIN-REAL: GOP Establishment has "no regrets about going all-in against flawed primary candidates"

Suffice it to say that when Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, Haley Barbour and the rest of the Beltway hacks want to leak information to the outside world, they prefer the Democrat press release service called Politico. Just hours ago, Alexander Burns revealed the brilliant slash-and-burn strategy of The Architect™ and Friends.

Establishment-aligned groups have already spent some $23 million on independent expenditures propping up favored House and Senate candidates in contentious primaries...

...The scope of the effort to suppress activist-backed candidates has been broader and costlier than is widely understood, covering at least 20 House and Senate primaries ... [t]he loose coalition of establishment forces encompasses two dozen advocacy groups, industry associations and super PACs that have raised and spent millions on behalf of Washington’s chosen candidates.

Nearly a third of the establishment money has come from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The business lobby’s spending in this year’s toughest primaries has about equaled the $7 million that the conservative Club for Growth and the Senate Conservatives Fund have spent together on the most fractious elections — excluding races, like the Senate campaigns in Arkansas and Alaska, where there’s been no meaningful clash between establishment-sanctioned outside groups and the activist right.

And the $23 million figure isn’t even close to a full accounting of what D.C.-backed candidates spent to win their nomination fights. Candidates themselves, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas, have collectively spent tens of millions more from their campaign accounts.

Top Republican strategists and party officials say they have no regrets about going all-in against flawed primary candidates. In a perfect world, they say, the whole expensive ordeal would be unnecessary. With conservative outside groups routinely bumping off incumbent lawmakers and prized recruits, it’s simply the cost of doing business — now and perhaps for the foreseeable future.

Let me rephrase the salient sentence: Rove, Barbour and McConnell "have no regrets about going all-in against flawed primary candidates".

Flawed primary candidates?

That would be Thad Cochran, an incumbent with 42 years in Congress, who literally has such diminished mental faculties that he couldn't even debate his opponent. Un-freaking-believable.

HILLARY VS. BARACK: Someone's Lyin', Sarah Palin Edition

As Hillary positions herself for another run in 2016, she faces a daunting task. She must distance herself from the very same failed administration in which she played a leading role. Evidence for this new wedge between the Clinton and Obama camps is flying fast and furious (NPI), as evidenced both by her book and Edward Klein's new tell-all, Blood Feud.

To wit, Hillary wrote that the Obama team asked her to attack Sarah Palin in 2008:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reveals in her new book that Barack Obama’s team asked her to attack Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) chose her as his running mate in the 2008 presidential race.

"[The Obama camp] immediately issued a dismissive statement and reached out to me in hopes I would follow suit,” she wrote. “But I wouldn’t... I was not going to attack Palin just for being a woman appealing for support from other women,” she wrote. “I didn't think it made political sense, and it didn't feel right. So I said no."

Strangely enough, Obama’s team is pushing back:

...Barack Obama's 2008 campaign manager David Plouffe denied former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's claim in her 635-page, critically panned memoir "Hard Choices" that the Obama campaign requested Hillary attack then-Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin because she was a woman.

"We never tried to do that," Plouffe asserted "We did want her to go out there and speak, but not about Sarah Palin's gender..." Plouffe's statement is in direct contrast to what Clinton wrote in the opening pages of "Hard Choices."

Who's lying? Knowing this bunch of buffoonish crooks, I'd wager both.

WHY THE COVER-UP, MR. SMIDGEN? Trail of "Lost" IRS Emails Leads Directly to White House

By Investor's Business Daily

Scandal: One of the seven people, including Lois Lerner who lost emails from the period of Tea Party targeting by the IRS, served as chief of staff to former IRS head Steven Miller. She also made 35 visits to the White House.

The funny thing about emails is that they are never orphans. When you send one, there's always a recipient who has his or her own copy. The "lost" Lois Lerner emails had recipients. How about subpoenas to all of them during the Tea Party targeting period? That should help find what we need to know — or maybe not.

It seems six more IRS officials have lost critical emails from that period, a seeming statistical impossibility that shouts out a conspiracy to obstruct justice, and more violations of the Federal Records Act, which requires paper copies of these emails to be printed and stored just in case of computer problems.

One of those officials who received Lerner emails and also lost them was Nikole Flax, chief of staff to former IRS Commissioner Steven Miller. Miller, who was fired in the wake of the targeting scandal, visited the White House more than most Cabinet members.

Flax, as the Daily Caller reports, "made 31 visits to the White House between July 12, 2010, and May 8, 2013, according to White House visitor logs."

While not quite as numerous as another former IRS Commissioner, Douglas Shulman, who made some 118 visits — including one he testified was for the Easter egg roll on the White House lawn — Flax's visits dovetail nicely with key points in the IRS scandal.

CAUGHT IN A WEB OF LIES: IRS Chief John Koskinen Faces Serious Consequences for Email Statements

By Investor's Business Daily

Scandal: In testimony last March, the IRS chief told Congress that the now-allegedly irretrievable emails were not immediately available because they were safely stored offline. Maybe the NSA can help find them?

Rep. Darrell Issa's House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed IRS Commissioner John Koskinen to testify June 23 about Lois Lerner's suddenly lost emails. One of the topics is expected to be his prior contradictory congressional testimony.

Koskinen testified about the emails at an Oversight hearing in March and, as investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson notes, gave quite the opposite impression from the current storyline that has every computer nerd in America rolling on the floor laughing.

Koskinen said the reason that requested emails were difficult to provide was that IRS emails "get taken off and stored in servers." He failed to mention any Lerner hard-drive crash that allegedly occurred long before, only to be divulged in this administration's habitual Friday data dump of unpleasant news.

Was he lying then or is he lying now? Federal law requires that such records be archived and accessible — particularly records subject to congressional investigation — and that the destruction or loss of any such records be authorized according to the law and reported to the archivist of such records. Someone is either lying or has broken the law big time, or both.

#READYFORHILLARY: Dana @Milbank and @WashingtonPost Flat Busted Lying About Benghazi Forum

By James Simpson

The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank wrote a column on Monday titled “Heritage’s ugly Benghazi panel,” portraying a forum held the same day at the Heritage Foundation, hosted by the newly formed Benghazi Accountability Coalition, as nothing more than an anti-Islamic hate-fest. This was a serious panel with numerous, widely recognized experts, a couple of whom were also members of Accuracy in Media’s Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi. CCB’s April report, “How America Switched Sides in the War on Terror,” made international headlines.

That report took some serious skin. Diane Sawyer, Bob Woodward, and other stalwarts of the mainstream media, have taken Hillary Clinton to task over Benghazi. With Heritage and others now picking up the baton, something clearly needed to be done. They can’t have Hillary’s chances in 2016 threatened by that Benghazi “old news.” As Hillary herself said, “What difference, at this point, does it make!?”

Enter Dana Milbank, WaPo’s hit “journalist,” who sees Joseph McCarthy, and racist bigots behind every conservative door. He could not, and did not, dispute the facts raised during this afternoon-long forum. Instead he used a now-standard device of the left when confronted with uncomfortable truths. The discussion and topic was discredited by simply describing what was said in a presumptuous and mocking tone. It is a clever way to discredit facts in the reader’s mind without actually disputing the facts. So for example, he wrote:

“The session, as usual, quickly moved beyond the specifics of the assaults that left four Americans dead to accusations about the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating the Obama administration, President Obama funding jihadists in their quest to destroy the United States, Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton attempting to impose Shariah blasphemy laws on Americans and Al Jazeera America being an organ of ‘enemy propaganda.’”

Most of the above, of course, is true. President Obama did fund the Libyan opposition, which was known to have al Qaeda ties, and those same jihadists turned around and attacked the Benghazi Special Mission Compound, killing Americans. He blatantly supported the Muslim Brotherhood in the misnamed Egyptian “Arab Spring” where one of America’s most reliable Muslim allies, Hosni Mubarak, was deposed.

Obama and Clinton are certainly doing nothing to stop the spread of Shariah in America, and the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the Obama administration. Another report out Monday quoted Mohamed Elibiary, an advisor to the Homeland Security Department and Muslim Brotherhood supporter, writing in a tweet, “As I’ve said b4, inevitable that ‘Caliphate’ returns…” Finally, anyone even remotely familiar with Al Jazeera knows it is an Islamist propaganda organ. The fact that it occasionally does a better job of reporting news than the American mainstream media is simply a reflection of just how bad the American media have become.

But apparently Milbank’s job is not to delve into the facts. Instead, his job is to discredit Obama’s detractors. So he used another standard leftist device as well. He found a convenient straight man to play the victim, innocently asking questions and making statements designed to provoke a predictable response, which could then be attacked with the usual leftist rhetoric. In this case, he utilized a Muslim woman named Saba Ahmed. He wrote, “Saba Ahmed, an American University law student, stood in the back of the room and asked a question in a soft voice…” He quoted her as saying:

Rick Perry Jumps the Shark

All quotes are real, unfortunately.


Thanks, but I'll take a pass. Sure, Perry is far superior to Crispy Creme Christy, Jeb "Doin' It For Love" Bush, and Mike Hucksterbee.

But anyone who praises the likes of a Hillary Clinton -- she of the cattle future fortune, Whitewater land deals, the missing Rose Law Firm files, Johnny Chung, Hillarycare, the FALN terrorists, Marc Rich, Eric Holder, Fannie Mae, the New Square pardon scam, the Loral-China missile deal, Benghazi -- well, you get the picture. Oh, and those were all off the top of my head.

Very capable indeed, if we're talking about deconstructing the Republic, Cloward-Piven-style.

MARK LEVIN TRANSCRIPT: Here's What I'm gonna do, Mitt Romney and Orrin Hatch, if you go after Mike Lee

Transcript of Mark Levin, 6/10/2014


You know what I've heard? On good authority, that Mitt Romney and Orrin Hatch want one of Mitt Romney's sons to go after Mike Lee in the Republican fight -- should there be one -- because they want to get rid of Mike Lee.

Who are the purists, exactly?

Who are the "Big Tent" guys, exactly?

Now let me tell you what I'm gonna do if these fools pull that. Listen to me, Orrin, I'm talkin' to you.

I'm going to go into your state and expose you. For your lies on this show.

I'm going to go into Utah, Mitt Romney, and expose you for the incompetent campaign you ran. The fact of the matter is, Mitt, while you play Mr. Nice Guy, you were behind the scenes trashing Republicans all the way to your "victory".

Let me tell you something, Mitt: You cost us. You cost us four years of Obama with your feckless campaign. Attacking one Republican after another in the primary... and it's like you surrendered in the general election. You're no Mr. Nice Guy... and, I know, the Republicans listening to me... folks, behind the scenes, this guy is trying to crush the conservative movement.

This "severe conservative"... he's going around the country endorsing every single establishment Republican he can against citizen candidates. It's time to wake up!

But if they... and you know I barely travel for anything... but if they.. I will go into Utah myself --and bring everyone I can find -- we will expose these people -- and let's have it out!

HEH: The Least Trusted Name in News

The science is settled:


Fortunately, MSNBC has a plethora of eloquent analysts like Al Sharpton, which should do wonders for their trustworthiness in the future.


SURPRISE: Networks Refuse to Disclose Obama's Role in Humanitarian Crisis on Our Unprotected Southern Border

When it comes to "fundamentally transforming America" -- candidate Obama's stated agenda -- I think we can officially hang the Mission Accomplished banner on the U.S.S. Refugee Crisis.

Late last week, detention centers along the U.S.-Mexican border were crushed with a new surge of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children, yet two of the Big Three networks have barely touched this new headache for the Obama administration. And not a single reporter or anchor on ABC, CBS or NBC have cited Barack Obama’s extension of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) as cause for a humanitarian crisis that has led to children as young as 9-years-old illegally crossing the border without their parents.

How many children have died, been subject to assault, and otherwise abused making the trek from Central America?

Curious how the progressives' old saw -- you know, "If we can only save one child!" -- is ignored completely when the deaths of countless kids helps advance their agenda.

NBC’s Ned Potter, in a June 8 Nightly News story, painted a stark picture of children leading other children across the border. However, he never mentioned Obama’s extension of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) as a cause of this “humanitarian crisis.”

...Over on CBS Charlie Rose and Norah O’Donnell invited Republican Senator Marco Rubio to discuss the topic on the June 10 edition of CBS This Morning, but neither one of the co-anchors asked the Florida senator if Obama’s extension of the (DACA) was even partly to blame. Rose, however, did find time to push Rubio on immigration reform, as he pressed: “You got into some political pushback on immigration reform. When will we see thorough immigration reform?”

Even the Sacramento Bee lays the blame for an "international crisis of unaccompanied migrant children at U.S. border" on President Oprompter.

...a sudden surge – from 13,625 in 2012 to 24,668 last year – in children traveling north on their own. Homeland Security officials expect 90,000 unaccompanied minors to be detained by border patrol this year, maybe more. And those are just the kids caught; it doesn’t include the many stranded alone in Mexico’s dangerous border towns.

More likely, the migration is a result of ambivalent immigration policy that is sending mixed signals abroad. While the Obama administration has deported a record 2 million people, the administration has also extended a compassionate arm to undocumented children. It’s no surprise, then, that there’s a widespread belief in Central America that if kids can survive the treacherous journey and get across that border somehow, they will be allowed to stay.

These deaths, these injuries, this abuse of children -- not to mention the utter disregard of the American citizenry -- is on Barack Obama and the rest of the Democrat Party.
