YOU MOST LIKELY KNOW IT AS MYANMAR, BUT IT'LL ALWAYS BE BURMA TO ME: Creepiest Mural Ever Greets Obama

It looks more like a movie poster for Barack Obama, Vampire Hunter:

Oh, dear. The beautiful child farthest from the mural looks to be pointedly staring ahead. “Don’t make me look, don’t make me look, I can’t see you.”

Creepy seems to be the operative word here.


Creepier than Jim Messina, Axelrod’s creep-stache, the Obama #ForAll cult or Biden’s woman-handling and lap-sitting biker babe?

You decide.

The only thing I can figure is that it's satirical.


IT'S 1937 ALL OVER AGAIN: The Ongoing Obama Depression Will Continue Until Further Notice

When George Santayana said, "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it," he was describing ideologues like Barack Obama.

How else can one explain his desire to replay the Great Depression? Based upon Obama's policies, we're replaying the year 1937, just months after FDR's reelection to a second term. In short, FDR's incessant interference with the private sector and his commitment to the socialist-progressive principles of Stuart Chase turned out to be abject failures.

But Obama is replaying FDR's failed strategies to a tee.

...According to the BLS, real weekly earnings adjusted for inflation for Q3 2012 are the same as Q4 2007. Even worse, seasonally adjusted real weekly earnings for full time workers, all occupations, are at similar levels to the mid 1980's.


Overall, weekly earnings dropped -0.2% in October and since October 2010 have fallen by -1.8%. The above graph means 50% of workers are earning less than $332 per week in real purchasing power, accounting for inflation since 1982-194. Not adjusted for inflation, the median weekly earnings for all occupations was $765 in Q3 2012. Now think about rents of $1500+ a month in many cities and how 50% of all earners are making less than $765 per week, before taxes...


...[Above] is the real hourly wage, or adjusted for inflation since 1980. Again we see in terms of real dollars, workers aren't really getting ahead...

If Obama truly cared about "the middle class", he'd abandon his destructive policies that are literally crushing American families.

Individual taxes must be lowered, especially in the highest brackets, because business owners need the funds to hire more workers. Corporate taxes must be slashed and "double jeopardy" foreign profits taxes eliminated to attract money to our shores. The vast regulatory bureaucracy must be scaled back. And the out-of-control labor unions need to be brought to heel.

And government must spend less. Much, much less.

But the president won't change his disastrous progressive course and will instead continue on the road to economic misery. He is an ideologue who believes he has a "mandate" (51-49, mind you) to continue the Depression that will forever bear his name.


Update: Historian Amity Shlaes agrees: "2013 Looks a Lot Like 1937 in Four Fearsome Ways."

QOTD: "In order to protect densely populated cities like Tel Aviv, Israel’s fifth iron dome battery was deployed two months ahead of schedule today — and it’s a good thing too. Sometime this afternoon while I was sitting in my room trying to write a paper for school (but really reading about incoming rocket attacks) the sirens in Tel Aviv went off.

My first thought? I don’t remember just clicking on a YouTube video of rockets, did I? My second: Oh my God that’s coming from outside! I immediately grabbed my keys and phone and ran out the door to the concrete stairwell where most of my neighbors were already standing.

“Is this real?!” I said to my neighbor.

“Yep, just stand right here and wait,” he said.

I don’t have a bomb shelter in my apartment, so we were told by the government to go to the stairwells that are often built similarly. I waited with shaky hands for the sirens to stop going off, and we all waited for the boom — whether it be a hit or the iron dome striking down the Iranian made Fajr-5 missile. I don’t think my heart has ever beat so quickly.

The whole time I was standing there I was trying to send live updates to my Twitter but found it challenging because of my shaking hands. After about two minutes, we heard a loud BOOM!" --Emily Schrader

IT'S OFFICIAL: Nancy Pelosi Demands That American Small Businesses Fire 710,000 Workers

It's increasingly clear that Nancy Pelosi is suffering from a serious medical condition. My diagnosis is a catastrophic loss of brain cells caused by a plastic surgeon winding her skin ever tighter around her head like a noose.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she’s hopeful lawmakers can come to a deal to avoid a year-end “fiscal cliff” but any agreement has to include tax rate increases for the wealthy...


...The California Democrat says “just to close loopholes is far too little money” and other ideas have to be considered. Republicans have suggested they are open to finding more revenues.

And precisely what would such a tax hike "for the wealthy" mean?

According to the accounting firm Ernst & Young, the Obama tax hikes for incomes over $200,000 ($250,000 for married filers) would drain funds from the most successful small-business employers, who employ 54 percent of the private workforce...

Unemployment would rise 0.5 percent, which translates to 710,000 fewer jobs...

• Real after-tax wages would fall by 1.8 percent...

• GDP would fall by 1.3 percent...

• Capital stock and investment would drop by 1.4 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively

Pelosi and Obama are students of Alinsky. They want to "fundamentally transform" America. And the easiest way to accomplish this task is to repeat the failed Democrat policies of the Great Depression, over and over again.


Rep. Adam Kinzinger tries to teach Bill Kristol about conservatism, fails

Kinzinger makes a valiant effort, but explaining conservatism to a Beltway hack like Kristol is akin to teaching calculus to a cow:

Bill,

All this haggling over a tax rate made me realize one thing... We have failed to explain what conservatism really means.

Immigrants who have come here since Reagan have never had a strong spokesman for conservatism, and in a world where the prevailing worldview is through a spectrum of government, this concept is insanely foreign.

I don't care what tax rates are, they are all random number[s] derived from haggling and negotiations. What I want is a small government with a strong and fierce military that can kill our enemies and break their toys, legitimate safety nets that provide food and not a way of life, and some roads and bridges. Put that vision into action and set the tax rates at a percent that covers those costs. And once you have our payment, leave us the hell alone. That my friend, is conservatism.

The musings of a soon to be sophomore congressman.

Adam Kinzinger

Sent from my iPhone

Kristol's shrill cry to raise taxes on the businesses that employ more than half of the private sector proves that he is both an economic illiterate and an intellectual lightweight.

Kristol isn't a conservative: he's an entertainer -- and a piss-poor one at that.

MEDIA FAIL: Photo accompanying story on airport bars sets new, all-time "inappropriateness" record

It's those "layers and layers" of editors and fact-checkers, don't ya know?

...while watching a plane take off from Boston’s Logan Airport might give you a lovely image framed by the city’s skyscrapers, we’re not entirely sure this was the best image WBZ4 in Boston should have used alongside a story on Boston’s best airport bars. It’s just so… “plane crashy,” we think, is the technical term.


...Unless, of course, you want to give the impression that some airport Chili’s franchises offer an El Niño® Margarita so good even the pilots can’t get enough. In which case: It’s perfect.

Outsourcing photo selection and editing to the Middle East would be the only logical explanation for this choice.


KNOCK KNOCK: Who's there? Hellfire. Hellfire who?

Hellfire missile up your kazoo.

The IDF assassinated the head of Hamas' rocket program, Yahyia Byya, after a heavy barrage of rocket fire engulfed Ashdod Sunday afternoon.


The assassination was directly ordered by Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz.

Army sources say that Byya was directly responsible for the majority of rockets that have been fired on Israel.

Hey, the IDF gave the erstwhile Nazis fair warning. They told them a few days ago to not show their faces above ground.

Hey, Yahyia, can I get you some ice for that?


DELUSIONAL: California Predicts Budget Surplus in 2014 Thanks to Tax Hikes, Anti-Business Regulations

There's crazy -- and then there's West Coast Crazy:

When is a prediction of a $1.9 billion shortfall actually considered good news?

In deficit-battered, recession-weary California, that's the case.

It sounds strange, until you consider that it sounds a whole lot better than the staggering $41 billion deficit projected at the end of 2008 -- and much better than the $25 billion hole that the state's Legislative Analyst was forecasting in 2010. And much more rosy than the $16 billion shortfall Gov. Jerry Brown was projecting just last spring.

On Wednesday, the Analyst's office -- respected for its nonpartisanship -- said its $1.9 billion deficit estimate covers the next year-and-a-half. The report cast the state's recovering finances in a favorable light, thanks to earlier budget cuts and the voter approval of Proposition 30.

"The additional, temporary taxes provided by Proposition 30 have combined to bring California a promising moment: the possible end of a decade of acute state budget challenges," the LAO report said.

In fact, the report floated the possibility of the state actually running a surplus of up to a billion dollars by 2014.

Let me be the first to predict that California will not have a budget surplus in 2014. Nor will it run "only" a $2 billion deficit.

By my estimation, California's budget deficit will run at least an order of magnitude higher -- at $20 billion plus. You can stick a fork in the Golden State.

QOTD: "The conceit of Obama's argument is that people are picking on a helpless girl -- a lowly U.N. ambassador -- because they are afraid of the big bad president.

Oh, please.

President Obama, incredibly, claimed that he was "happy to have the discussion" about Benghazi.

Really?

Because every time anyone asks the president about Benghazi he claims he can't say anything because there is an investigation going on. The State Department actually said at one point that they would no longer take questions on the issue from reporters.

Senator Graham's response to the president's revelations and accusations at the press conference was exactly right: He said, "Mr. President, don't think for one minute I don't hold you ultimately responsible for Benghazi."

The president says he is ready to talk about this? Great. We are all ears." --Kirsten Powers

TURBOTAX-CHALLENGED TREASURY SECRETARY: Let's just eliminate debt ceiling to ensure smooth road to collapse

When the founders warned of men without virtue, they had the likes of Tim Geithner in mind:

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the U.S. “absolutely” should get rid of the debt ceiling as soon as possible... “It would have been time a long time ago to eliminate it,” Geithner told Bloomberg TV on Friday. “The sooner the better.”


...Hey, you know what else isn’t a tenable strategy for the country? Spending a trillion dollars we don’t have on a counterproductively bloated bureaucracy, every year.

I understand what Geithner is getting at, of course — the playing chicken and flirting-with-breaching the ceiling, which we’re slated to hit again this February/March, isn’t good for our financial resume. Just abolishing the debt ceiling, however, isn’t the conversation we need to be having — and it’s jaw-dropping that our credit rating is even in this kind of jeopardy. The conversation we need to be having is how to drastically reduce the amount of debt we’re annually incurring, and it’s a conversation that Democrats are persistently ignoring in favor of piddling, economy-damaging tax hikes...

Precisely what America needs: a Treasury Secretary -- who cheated on his taxes -- advising America how to incur even more debt. Classic.

If he did, why did Petraeus change his testimony?

Who changed the CIA talking points, removing the evidence an al-Qaeda element was likely involved in the murder of a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans?" --John Nolte

DUDE: What the Hell is China Building Here?

If these guys are building their own Stargate, I'm gonna be pissed.

Not happy with building mysterious gigantic structures in the desert, the Chinese are now building inter-dimensional portals in the middle of their cities. What the hell is this 515-foot (157 meters) high metal structure in the the city of Fushun, in northeast China's Liaoning province?


...It's made of an astounding 3,000 tons of steel and it will glow at night—decorated with 12,000 LED lights. According to Fushun Municipal Government's officials, this titanic structure does absolutely nothing except serve as an elevated sighting position. They claim it is pretty "landscape architecture"—like the Eiffel Tower. It uses four elevators to take people to the top.

...According to Fushun's Urban Construction Bureau, the "Ring of Life" means "a round sky and a path leading to a paradise in heaven."

I'm telling you guys right now: this is a Stargate, I don't care what they use as a cover story.


THE OBAMA DOCTRINE: Helpful Foreign Policy Cheat Sheet

A quick review -- and a reminder that elections have consequences.

Libya is supplying Hamas with the most advanced weaponry it's ever had

Iran's Green Revolution was crushed by the Mullahs with the tacit approval of Barack Obama

Egypt -- an ostensible ally of the U.S. and Israel -- was thrown under the bus by Barack Obama, ceding control of the country to the erstwhile Nazi-aligned Muslim Brotherhood

Algeria and Tunisia are likewise aligning with Al Qaeda

Jordan, Israel's last regional ally -- is also about to fall

• And Turkey, once a secular and stabilizing force in the Middle East, is now succumbing to a radical brand of Islamism. Even better: it's a member of NATO

Israel is surrounded.

And where is Barack Obama as the rockets fall on Jerusalem, Tel Avis and Sderot?

Who knows? If you have Beyonce or Jay-Z's cell numbers, perhaps we could find out.

Say a prayer for Israel tonight.

And remember: if Israel falls, we're next.


GOOD NEWS: Hamas Now Using Toddlers' Playgrounds as Cover for Rocket Attacks on Israel

Will those hilarious Hamas hi-jinx ever stop?

Hamas terrorists are not only launching hundreds of Rockets at Israeli civilians, they are using Palestinian children as human shields.

The Palestinian terrorists intentionally set up a launch site for their Fajr 5 rockets next to a children’s playground in Gaza.


As you can clearly see from the picture above provided by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the launch site for their terrorist rockets is half a block away from a place of worship, a playground, and numerous other civilian targets...

...This is the complexity and hypocrisy that Israel faces in attempting to defend its citizens. What is hard for people to imagine who live here in the U.S. is the constant barrage of rocket attacks faced by the Israeli people.

IDF is using social media to paint a poignant picture of how this same kind of terrorist attack would be tolerated around the world. Below is an image that the IDF is sharing on Facebook and Twitter...


...Over 600 hundred rockets have been launched into Israel in just the last few days striking as far into Israel as Tel Aviv and now the capital city of Jerusalem.

You read that right. Hamas is now targeting Israel's capital Jerusalem.

Only overwhelming force will deter these madmen. Say a prayer for Israel tonight.

NOT KIDDING: The Most Terrifying Obama Quote Ever

The hubris of this president truly knows no bounds:

Speaking to reporters Wednesday in the East Room of the White House for the first full-fledged press briefing since March, President Obama was asked if he would be willing to accept closing tax loopholes and limiting deductions instead of a tax rate increase on Americans making over $250,000 per year. Mr. Obama responded: "When it comes to the top 2 percent, what I'm not going to do is extend further a tax cut for those who don't need it."


As the president concluded remarks on upcoming "fiscal cliff" negotiations with Congress, he said: "Are we going to hold the middle class hostage?" The implication by Mr. Obama is that the wealthy are holding the middle class "hostage" if they are allowed to keep money they legally earned, but "don't need."

Consider:

A married couple -- an attorney and a nurse who together earn $280,000-a-year -- with a special needs child and $150,000 in student loans...

Another couple -- who own a dry-cleaner, work 75-hour weeks, and gross $350,000 while employing four others...

A single, biomedical engineer -- who earns $225,000-a-year and spends her spare-time working on a breakthrough medical device because she wants to build her own company...

They are all members of the "top 2 percent"...

And they don't need the money! They don't need it, because Obama believes he is entitled to confiscate it and then redistribute it to his favorite constituencies! His campaign bundlers, union bosses, crony capitalist pals, and eco-Statists... they all deserve it more than the people who actually toiled, sweated, and earned it.

Have you ever heard such a thing from a president?

Terrifying. Outrageous. Un-American.

And without an election to worry about, I believe we will see Mr. Obama unleash his inner Alinsky. And it will take a well-deserved impeachment to stop him.
