OBAMA GOES FULL TOTALITARIAN: "We're going to have to change how the media reports"

John Nolte catches the president showing not just a little ankle, but revealing his entire leg.

For going on seven years we have learned three things about President Obama: 1) He loves the poor so much he continues to create more of them. 2) He loves the poor so much he does everything in his power to keep them poor. 3) He doesn’t see the opposition as loyal, but as bad players — his enemy. This is especially true of Fox News, which Obama ripped as anti-poor bigots during a Wednesday afternoon summit on poverty.

...What was most revealing about the president’s comments was his expressed desire to “change how the media reports.”

Speaking of Fox News, the poor, and the way GOP leaders think, Obama said, [W]e’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues.”

After seven failed years, to watch Obama sit there and discuss the poor as though he is part of the solution and not the problem, is laughable.

As Nolte reminds us, Obama is completely unfamiliar with poverty and struggle. From prep schools to the Ivy League, his upbringing was one of exclusivity, privilege and wealth:

ELIZABETH WARREN STRIKES BACK AT OBAMA: Declassify the Trade Agreement!

By William Teach

I strangely find myself in agreement with Senator Warren

(Reuters) U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren hit back at President Barack Obama in their tussle over “fast-track” authorization to negotiate a Pacific Rim trade treaty, a power she says could be used in the future to weaken Wall Street reforms.

The president, who wants expedited negotiating power to streamline the passage of trade deals through Congress, said last week that Warren’s claims were “absolutely wrong.”

Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat and prominent liberal voice, stuck to her argument in an interview published on Monday with a Washington Post blog, saying Obama should release details of the Pacific trade talks so legal experts can determine if a pact could be used to weaken U.S. bank rules.

“If the president is so confident it’s a good deal, he should declassify the text and let people see it before asking Congress to tie its hands on fixing it,” Warren said in the interview with the Plum Line blog.

One has to wonder exactly why the trade deal is classified. Why it cannot be released for public view. Why Congress critters can only view it in a secure room, cannot have any recording devices, be watched over as you read it, and cannot take any notes they make with them.

From the Plum Line interview

"Postal Workers to Rally Against Human Progress"

That's my headline for the following article spotted at DMnews; their headline is the less accurate "Postal Workers to March for Expanded Hours, Services."

Members of the American Postal Workers Union will hold rallies in more than 85 cities this Thursday in a “National Day of Action” to call for expanded hours and the offering of new services such as banking to preserve jobs.

“U.S. Postal Service executives and the agency's board of governors are using a manufactured financial crisis to justify their strategy of reducing service, delaying mail delivery, and dismantling a great national treasure,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein in announcing the planned demonstrations. “Postal workers are fighting for a vibrant, public Postal Service that expands hours, offers new services, and gives quality service to people across the country.”

Pity no one told these budding rocket scientists that barring the invention of a time machine, followed by a sharp reversal of time -- say, back to the pre-Internet era of 1960 -- nothing is going to bring people back to the Post Office.

And that's ignoring the basic issue of its finances, which is no concern for Democrats, I know, but taxpayers are worried.

That's because the Post Office has lost more than $47 billion in the past decade. As Tyler Durden asks:

...why doesn't this bloated, anachronistic, money-losing zombie just go away and make way for the far more efficient and nimble private sector? After all, there are countless companies which could step in and do what the USPS does for a fraction of the cost?

Simple. The answer:

  • 489,727 career employees.
  • 137,037 non-career employees.

Or, as they are better known in D.C., voters.


Actually, I'm going to have to correct Tyler on one point. It's not the number of voters that D.C. fears; the elites piss off millions of voters all the time (e.g., open borders and illegal immigration). No, they fear the public sector unions that fund the Democrat Party.

Illinois Supreme Court Rules That State Taxpayers are Now Slaves to Public Sector Unions

By Steve Bartin

Illinois taxpayers learned this week that they are essentially slaves if they live in the state of Illinois.

The Illinois Supreme Court just ruled that public pensions do not have to abide by the laws of mathematics. This means taxpayers are on the hook for actuarially impossible to pay pensions for public employees.

The Illinois Supreme Court's decision to strike down a landmark pension law also blew up Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner's budget plan and put pressure on him and the Democratic-led legislature to swiftly increase taxes to resolve state government's financial crisis.

IT’S DONE: Stick a Fork in the "Green Energy" Movement

By Stephen Moore

The green energy movement in America is dead. May it rest in peace. No, a majority of American energy over the next 20 years is not going to come from windmills and solar panels. One important lesson to be learned from the green energy fad’s rapid and expensive demise is that central planning doesn’t work.

What crushed green energy was the boom in shale oil and gas along with the steep decline in the price of fossil fuel that few saw coming just a few years ago.

A new International Energy Agency report concedes that green energy is in fast retreat and is getting crushed by “the recent drop in fossil fuel prices.” It finds that the huge price advantage for oil and natural gas means “fossil plants still dominate recent (electric power) capacity additions.”

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

Most of the government experts—and many private investors too—bought into the “peak oil” nonsense and the forecasts of fuel prices continuing to rise as we depleted the oil from the Earth’s crust. Oil was expected to stay way over $100 a barrel and potentially soon hit $200 a barrel. National Geographic infamously advertised on its cover in 2004 “The End of Cheap Oil.”

Barack Obama told voters that green energy was necessary because oil is a “finite resource” and we would eventually run out. Apparently, Obama never read “The Ultimate Resource” by Julian Simon which teaches us that human ingenuity in finding new resources outpaces resource depletion.

WELCOME TO THE PARTY, PAL: Like it or not, you are on the front lines of the Islamic War

By Alan Caruba

Does anyone remember what happened on September 11, 2001? Or is it just “ancient history” at this point? Some three thousand totally innocent Americans were murdered by a sneak attack on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Who did it? The same murderous Islamists who attacked an event in Garland, Texas to focus attention on the insanity that passes for one of the world’s great “religions.”

Islam is not a religion. It is a cult constructed around the so-called prophet Mohammad and his assertion that the Koran was the word of Allah. The name Islam means “submission” and the purpose of Islam is the tyrannical control over the entire world’s population. Within this allegedly holy faith, two sects, Shiites and Sunnis, have been at war almost from its inception, never failing to kill one another en masse.

The turmoil in the Middle East is the direct result of this murderous cult and those Muslims who oppose the killing that flows from Islam must keep their silence or become its victims. Jews and Christians can speak out and debate about aspects of their faiths, but Muslims risk death when they do so. For those Jews in Christians living in Middle Eastern nations, death is always a prospect for no other reason than not being Muslim.

Americans have not yet fully embraced the fact that they are all on the front lines -- along with other Western nations -- in a global war with Islam.

"UNEXPECTEDLY": Massachusetts ObamaCare exchange joins Oregon under investigation by FBI

By Uncover Obamacare

It’s no secret that ObamaCare’s father is RomneyCare in Massachusetts, and as we look to the problems that plague a government run health care system, The Bay State is a good place to start. Case in point: corruption in the system.

Josh Archambault, senior fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability has dug into the state’s $1 billion ObamaCare exchange and found many discrepancies and issues that should concern everyone.

Culled from “publicly available third-party audits and hours of interviews with multiple whistleblowers with first-hand knowledge,” Josh found that Massachusetts officials:

  • Failed to execute a contract with CGI, the vendor hired to build the site, that would track the progress of the project and ensure on-time delivery of a product that included all required features;
  • Failed to commit sufficient resources to the project, resulting in workers sending documents to their home computers to open them, and to demand that CGI commit the additional resources necessary to complete the job on time, at an acceptable level of quality;
  • Repeatedly failed to hold CGI accountable for shoddy work, and for missing required deadlines, often pushing technical staff to approve faulty results, and firing at least one for refusing;

REPORT: Obama "TPP" Trade Agreement Hides Unlimited Migration From Mexico as well as Gun and Ammo Bans

By Mac Slavo

The Obama administration is feverishly working with foreign lawmakers and officials on a new Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. Yet what may seem like business as usual is anything but.

The President has made it a point to keep any details of the agreement completely secret, so much so that what amounts to a gag order has been placed on anyone who has anything to do with the bill. Even members of Congress are unable to discuss the contents of the bill with each other or in public, and anyone who is invited to discussions over the bill must leave cell phones and staff members behind. Since not even Republicans have yet to spill the beans about the details of the agreement, one can only assume that those attending the meetings are doing so under threat of criminal prosecution or worse if they talk.

This, of course, begs the question: What is so important to the Obama administration that it has to be kept secret from the American public until after the agreement has been passed?

What could possibly be so critical to national security that the purportedly “most transparent” Presidential administration in history says no one can talk about it?

Could it be that whatever is being negotiated is so significant that if the American people got wind of what was taking place there would be a collective outcry or widespread protests in the streets?

According to Gun Owners of America, this is exactly what’s happening, and it is nothing short of shocking:

A prediction I pray is wrong

By Dan Friedman

In the coming years, it will be harder and harder for Americans to remain indifferent to Islamic terrorism, because so much of it will be close to home disrupting our daily lives and dividing the nation along a deep ideological fault line.

We’ve already seen the split that followed in the aftermath of the Texas cartoon contest - as many condemned Pamela Geller as praised her.

That’s only a small taste of things to come.

As terrorist attacks in our nation become more frequent and more deadly, American thinking will become more sharply divided, pitting one side blaming the victims for being “provocative” against the other side blaming the Islamists for being terrorists.

Depending on which worldview prevails, an oppressive atmosphere could settle over the USA – and for all and intents and purposes that would mean the terrorists have won a decisive battle in their Jihad to destroy our society and way of life.

The wild card in all this is the outcome of the 2016 election. It is probably our best (and last) hope.

Americans are not quick studies and are easily distracted. 9/11 was a warning most of us have already forgotten. If we don’t elect a president who loves our Constitution, shares our values, and is willing to do the hard work to reverse Obama’s damage, we will suffer a slow death like the frog in the kettle.

What happens after that is anyone’s guess.

Black Families Matter

By Daniel John Sobieski

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings Blake made all the right noises Monday night as she discussed her city’s response to the unrest enveloping it after the unexplained death while in police custody of Freddie Gray, but she lost more than a few critics willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when she said that “anyone who wants to add to the calls for peace in our city is welcome” – including Al Sharpton.

Rawlings Blake said “anyone who wants to add to the calls for peace in our city is welcome. I would – if Reverend Sharpton wants to come, parents want to encourage their children to, you know, act within the law, I met with young people this afternoon, young people who want peace, young people who want justice, they were giving their own suggestions on how young people themselves can add a voice , and try to add a sane message, a message that says ‘we don’t – not in our name that you are doing – that you are destroying our city.’ Anybody that wants to be a part of that message, I welcome it.”

If one wants to send a sane message about justice and peace, Al Sharpton is probably among the worst to call. He is an instigator, not a peacemaker, someone who rose out of obscurity by propagating the false Tawana Brawley rape case in which New York city cops were accused of raping a black teenager. Tawana Brawley paid for her part in that big lie. Al Sharpton never has.

Sharpton embraced the “hands up, don’t shoot” mantra meant to indict racist cops and police departments after the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri after he committed a strong-armed robbery on his way to assaulting Officer Darren Wilson. Blessed are the peacemakers, but Al Sharpton is not one of them.

The Sharptons of the world don’t want to solve the real problems of the black community, preferring to exploit back unrest with clueless race-baiting such as when Sharpton and his National Action Network organized the “Justice for All” March in Washington, D.C. last December:

BUMMER: The Arab World is Running Out of Water

Daniel Pipes casts a fascinating spotlight on an ongoing -- and little heralded -- water crisis in the Middle East.

A ranking Iranian political figure, Issa Kalantari, recently warned that past mistakes leave Iran with water supplies so insufficient that up to 70 percent, or 55 million out of 78 million Iranians, would be forced to abandon their native country for parts unknown.

Many facts buttress Kalantari's apocalyptic prediction: Once lauded in poetry, Lake Urmia, the Middle East's largest lake, has lost 95 percent of its water since 1996, going from 31 billion cubic meters to 1.5 billion. What the Seine is to Paris, the Zayanderud was to Isfahan – except the latter went bone-dry in 2010. Over two-thirds of Iran's cities and towns are "on the verge of a water crisis" that could result in drinking water shortages; already, thousands of villages depend on water tankers. Unprecedented dust storms disrupt economic activity and damage health.

Nor are Iranians alone in peril; many others in the arid Middle East may also be forced into unwanted, penurious, desperate exile. With a unique, magnificent exception, much of the Middle East is running out of water due to such maladies as population growth, short-sighted dictators, distorted economic incentives, and infrastructure-destroying warfare...

Pipes goes on to describe the challenges of supplying clean water to many Arab countries including Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, etc.

Oh. And what of Israel?

Israel provides the sole exception to this regional tale of woe. It too, as recently as the 1990s, suffered water shortages; but now, thanks to a combination of conservation, recycling, innovative agricultural techniques, and high-tech desalination, the country is awash in H2O (Israel's Water Authority: "We have all the water we need"). I find particularly striking that Israel can desalinate about 17 liters of water for one U.S. penny; and that it recycles about five times more water than does second-ranked Spain.

Talk amongst yourselves. Topic: barbarism versus civilization.

REPULSIVE: Democrats Now Cast Terrorists as Victims

By Caroline Glick

The notion that a rape victim deserved to be raped because she was wearing a tight outfit lights up all our red lights.

This is the case first and foremost because it absolves the rapist of responsibility for his crime.

We are also disgusted by attempts to blame the victim for her victimization because they are substantively false. If men are more likely to rape women in tight clothing then rape should be all but non-existent in traditional Islamic societies. Yet the opposite is the case. Rape and sexual abuse are endemic to such societies. According to the UN, a whopping 99.3 percent of Egyptian women report having suffered sexual abuse.

There is a third, more general reason that we recoil from the thought of blaming rape victims for their suffering. One of the foundations of liberal societies has always been that victims of aggression are not to blame for their attackers’ behavior.

Over the past few days, we have witnessed a dangerous erosion of this principle among American elites.

Last Sunday two Islamic terrorists armed with assault rifles tried to massacre participants at a Muhammed cartoon drawing contest in Garland, Texas.

The goal of the contest was self-evident. The organizers wished to defend the freedom of speech – and the right to life – of critics of Islamic totalitarianism.

Rather than standing with the contest’s organizers and participants, the US media from MSNBC to Fox News attacked Pamela Geller, the event’s main organizer and accused her of responsibility for the attack.

For its part, the White House has refused to condemn the attack.

Radical, Gun-Grabbing Extremists Seek Shut Down Of Local Illinois Gun Shops

By ISRA

A coalition of gun grabbers including Sarah Brady’s Handgun Control Inc., the Bloomberg Moms, and militant priest Michael Pfleger are intensifying their efforts to shut down lawful firearm retailers and abolish civilian firearm ownership across the United States.

The gun-grabbers plan to launch this latest campaign against your rights on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at Chuck’s Gun Shop, 14310 S Indiana Ave, Riverdale, IL.

It is very important that we get a maximum turn out of gun owners to be on hand to support Chuck’s and the right to keep and bear arms.

So, please try to be at Chuck’s to show you care about your rights. Saturday would also be a good time to help the shop out by making some sort of purchase.

If you’ve never been to one of these events, you are in for a treat. You’ll get to see firsthand the tactics of the antigunners. You’ll witness just how low they are willing to stoop to undermine your constitutional rights. You’ll hear the lies, the fabricated statistics, and the hysterical claims about how private firearm ownership is dooming mankind.

If Pfleger takes the stage you’ll certainly be entertained by his special brand of frothy-lipped lunacy. Few will forget Pfleger’s rant in front of Chucks several years ago when he called for the ISIS-style murders of gun shop owners and elected officials who support gun rights. Attendance at this event is a must for anyone who loves freedom. You cannot appreciate liberty until you look those who would deny you liberty right in the eye.

Your Department of Homeland Security at Work

Shot:

DHS records describe Mexican government helicopters entering US, firing on Border Patrol

After having to fight for almost a year for the Obama administration to “come clean,” the top public-interest group in the United States that routinely investigates and exposes government corruption and cover-ups on Tuesday reported that it finally obtained documents from the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) directorate.

The files describe a shocking Southwest Border incident in which helicopters allegedly belonging to the government of Mexico flew across the border into the United States — Arizona — and opened fire on Border Patrol agents on American soil.


Chaser:

DHS Working Overtime to Add Illegal Aliens to Voting Rolls in Time For 2016 Election

Sources at the Department of Homeland Security report ... that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is reallocating significant resources to sending letters to all 9,000,000 green card holders urging them to naturalize prior to the 2016 election...

...Other DHS sources report that racial interest groups such as La Raza (translated to “The Race”) and the American Immigration Lawyers Association have been playing a central and influential role in rewriting the administration’s immigration policies — both the public policies as well as internal and largely unseen guidelines.


One DHS official who disagrees with the administration’s policies told me DHS “intends to ‘recapture’ ‘unused’ visas from years past to grant more visas and LPR [green card] status. In addition to this ‘visa blizzard,’ the agency will allow folks to jam in applications during the blizzard, knowing that the visa applicant/beneficiary is not eligible for the visa.”

This means that DHS is not only rushing green card holders toward citizenship before the next election, but also jamming previous visa holders toward green card status. These policies and priorities add to the brazen public positions of the president toward enforcing immigration laws.

If these lawless actions go unpunished, the diabolical evil that is the modern Democrat Party will have won.

And that must not stand.

GREAT WORK, OBAMA: Saudi Arabia Looking to Add Nuclear Weapons to Counter Iran

By Dan from New York

Well-informed sources who are close to this story tell me “the Saudis just straight up don't trust the Obama administration any more.” Oh, almost forgot. Did you hear the one about the Saudi airliner that landed in Israel (“for maintenance”)? See for yourself, it’s hilarious!

Saudi Arabia Considers Nuclear Weapons to Offset Iran

As a deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program nears, Iran’s regional rivals feel vulnerable

By YAROSLAV TROFIMOV

RIYADH—The nuclear deal that the U.S. and other world powers hope to reach with Iran would put a 10-year curb on the Islamic republic’s nuclear program. For some of Iran’s regional rivals, that is also becoming a deadline for developing nuclear arms of their own.

In Saudi Arabia, there are widespread public calls to match Iran’s nuclear quest. The two other Middle East heavyweights, Turkey and Egypt, could also feel compelled to follow suit, senior Western and Arab officials warn.

Such an arms race would further destabilize what is already the world’s most volatile region, where the risks of a nuclear war would be compounded by the threat of radioactive material falling into the hands of terrorist groups.

Obama's policies would be worthy of a Monty Python skit were they not vectoring all of us toward an apocalyptic endgame.

A nuclear arms race in the Middle East?

How's that Mitt Romney vote looking now, dimwits?

Why Does the Left Get to Decide What’s Offensive?

By Rush Limbaugh

The militant Islamists command us not to draw cartoons or any other kind of picture of the prophet Mohammed, and our Drive-By Media and Democrat Party readily agree, "Ain't no way that should happen! It offends them, and we shouldn't do it. And when anybody does, and they get shot at, it's their fault." To which I ask, "Well, now, wait a minute. The same militant Islamists who do not permit the drawing of pictures of the prophet Mohammed also do not permit homosexuality and do not permit gay marriage."

And we know what their attitudes toward women are.


Why don't we respect those? Can you imagine? If you turn on MSNBC, all you're gonna see, given the day -- maybe not every day, but the odds are, at least a portion of the day -- you're gonna see a total devotion to the concept of gay marriage. Isn't that insulting to the Muslims who would be watching? Would it not then be understandable if the Muslims watching take some kind of action against MSNBC for offending them?

They're not tolerant of gay marriage.

They're not tolerant of homosexuality, and you turn on MSNBC or CNN or any other Drive-By Media outlet and all you get is total support for it. Is that not offending our Muslim friends in the viewing audience? Why is there no concern for that? When people draw cartoons of "the prophet," it's, "Oh, Rush that's intolerable! You can't accept it. You gotta stop! Oh, my God, that's horrible!" But we can taunt them with gay marriage, and we can taunt them with women's rights and feminazism, and we can taunt them with homosexuality, and we are somehow not concerned about how that offends them?

My question is: Where do we draw the line on this?

TED CRUZ: The Blood of Millions Will Be on Obama’s head if this Insane Iran Deal Goes Forward

Sen. Ted Cruz is an outspoken critic of the Obama administration's bizarre deal to loosen sanctions on Iran and allow it to continue to develop nuclear weapons.

A complicit GOP establishment -- including "craven moron" Bob Corker and the mendacious malignancy known as Mitch McConnell are Obama's co-conspirators -- and have essentially ceded the Senate's Constitutionally authorized power to ratify any treaty signed by the Executive.

Ted Cruz -- reviled by the hacks in both parties -- is one of the few statesmen left in Congress willing to fight this insane abdication of sanity on the part of Obama and the GOP fogies. Tonight Cruz took to the Senate floor to rip Obama's deal and the GOP Establishment's support for it.

[Cruz told] his colleagues that the nuclear deal with Iran will lead to the deaths of "millions of Americans."

If President Barack Obama moves forward to provide sanctions relief to Iran as part of the deal, "the blood of the men and women and children who will be murdered by those terrorists will be directly on the hands of this administration," Cruz warned.

After being blocked from calling a vote on an amendment to the Iran bill to raise the threshold for congressional approval of the nuclear deal, Cruz accused senators of "abrogating our authority and responsibility."

..."This deal makes war a certainty," promised Cruz, a Republican contender for president in the 2016 election.

Anti-Free Speech Extremists at Southern Poverty Law Center Will Add an Artist to its "Hate Group" List

By Weasel Zippers

Gotta love Bosch Fawstin’s reaction to the SPLC: “Go for it.”

(Reuters) – For the cartoonist whose portrait of Mohammad won a Texas contest, the police killing of two gunmen outside the meeting place was justice.

“They came to kill us and died for it. Justice,” artist Bosch Fawstin tweeted on Monday.

Fawstin’s winning entry depicts a sword-wielding Prophet in a turban shouting, “You can’t draw me.” In reply, a cartoon bubble portrays the artist, his hand grasping a pencil, as saying, “That’s why I draw you.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which includes AFDI on its annual list of U.S. hate groups, plans to add Fawstin to its 2016 report, Heidi Beirich, director of the tracking effort, told Reuters on Monday.

She said he would have been listed previously, but the center did not know Fawstin’s location. The organization has since learned that his website is registered in New York City.

“He’s like the artist of the movement,” Beirich said. “His views, they are hate views.” She said his website is “virulently ugly” in its anti-Muslim views.

LIBERAL MEDIA: The Fifth Column of Jihad

By Cliff Kincaid

It’s strange that the liberals in the media who always complain about Joe McCarthy once having a list of communists in government are so quick to cite the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of so-called right-wing extremists or “haters.”

With the help of the media, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is setting people up for terrorist attacks inside the United States. Pamela Geller is the latest on the list of the SPLC that has now been targeted for death by the jihadists. ISIS says “…we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter.”

ISIS is angry that Geller, an opponent of jihad, has defended the First Amendment right of free speech against Islamic Sharia law.

In response, ISIS tried to massacre people at Geller’s Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas on Sunday. Two terrorists were killed and an unarmed security guard protecting the event was shot in the leg.

It’s an open secret that ISIS can get locations for its targets from the SPLC website. That’s how homosexual militant Floyd Corkins discovered the location of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. and showed up at its headquarters, opening fire on a security guard. He had hoped to conduct a massacre of FRC staff.
