I’m Old Enough to Remember When Democrats Celebrated Partisan Supreme Court Justices

Associated Press Fact Checks Obama

And discovers that he's a liar.

OBAMA: “It shouldn’t be Democratic or Republican to say that we don’t threaten the freedom of the press because they say things or publish stories we don’t like. I complained plenty about Fox News, but you never heard me threaten to shut them down or call them enemies of the people.” — rally Friday at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. 

THE FACTS: Trump may use extraordinary rhetoric to undermine trust in the press, but Obama arguably went farther — using extraordinary actions to block the flow of information to the public. 

The Obama administration used the 1917 Espionage Act with unprecedented vigor, prosecuting more people under that law for leaking sensitive information to the public than all previous administrations combined. Obama’s Justice Department dug into confidential communications between news organizations and their sources as part of that effort.

"How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad?" Obama asked.

In 2013, The New York Times Scalded Obama for his Attacks on a Free Press

Public Editor Margaret Sullivan pointed out that Obama didn't just criticize the press, he used the instruments of government attack the press. 

[I]t’s turning out to be the administration of unprecedented secrecy and of unprecedented attacks on a free press. I wrote about the chilling effect of the Obama administration’s leak investigations – including the ramped-up criminal prosecution of those who provide information to the press — in a Sunday column in March. 

Now that situation, already bad, has taken a major turn for the worse with revelations that the Obama Justice Department had secretly seized the phone records of a large number of journalists for The Associated Press, as part of a leak investigation.

Attacks on ICE Agents Increase

Will anyone hold CNN and the Democratic Party responsible for inciting violence? 

Assaults on ICE agents reached a decade high and assaults on Border Patrol agents have also surged in recent years, according to new government numbers that seem to back up agents’ claims that illegal immigrants are increasingly looking to fight rather than flee. 

The new numbers, reported by Homeland Security’s inspector general, could even be underselling the problem, investigators said, because the government doesn’t do a good job of tracking incidents, and agents and officers don’t always report them properly.

Anti-Muslim Party Set to Make Big Gains in Sweden

Sweden's open borders have led to dramatically increased crime rates, especially forcible rape. The establishment fails to understand that Muslim immigration poses a greater threat to traditional Swedish values than the so-called "far right." 

Sweden’s prime minister denounced an increasingly popular far-right party as racist and a threat to the nation’s European values Saturday as political candidates made their final pre-election pitches to voters. 

The parliamentary election being held Sunday will be Sweden’s first since the government in 2015 allowed 163,000 migrants into the country of 10 million. While far less than what Germany took in that year, it was the most per capita of any European nation.

New York Times Editor Slams Barack Obama

"Your DOJ also prosecuted more leak investigations than all other presidents’ combined. Come on," Fiscus wrote.

Fiscus was referring to the then-unprecedented efforts by the Obama White House to out leakers and prosecute those helping them. Most notably, former Fox News reporter James Rosen was accused of violating anti-espionage law for what one reporter at the time termed "traditional news reporting." 

At the time, Major Garrett, CBS’s chief White House correspondent, asked Obama press secretary Jay Carney: "The subpoena says James Rosen is a potential criminal because he's a reporter. Is the White House comfortable with that standard, never before seen in a leak investigation?" 

New York Times Vindicates Donald Trump.

The New York Times has indulged in a week-long orgy of self-adulation for publishing an op-ed supposedly penned by a "senior White House official." And while I don't doubt a word of what the Times published, the fact remains that the letter verified everything that Trump has been saying about the incestuous relationship between the mainstream press and the deep state. 

Donald Trump was elected because he promised to do something about business as usual in Washington.  He has a long way to go to cleanse those Augean Stables, but he has made a tremendous start, which is precisely why the occupants of those stables are so alarmed.  Here is someone, not of their tribe, who is succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. But he pays them no heed and patently could not care less that they disapprove of him. 

This latest bulletin from the engine room of fake news barely rises above the level of name calling. It has the acrid smell of desperation.  With every week that passes, Donald Trump ticks off another campaign promise fulfilled. It was what he was elected to do. Those who elected him like winning. And more and more people who were anti-Trump at the outset are looking around and liking what they see. The former newspaper that Donald Trump calls the ‘failing New York Times’ is a monument to impotent irrelevance. This latest prank unfolds just as Brett Kavanaugh is about to be confirmed to the Supreme Court.  The dogs are barking, but the caravan moves on.

Global Warming is Real. It's not New. It's Not Bad. It's Saving us From an Ice Age

It's not New. It's Not Bad. It's Saving us From an Ice Age.

A study published in the journal Scientific Reports provides new evidence that ancient farming practices led to a rise in the atmospheric emission of the heat-trapping gases carbon dioxide and methane—a rise that has continued since, unlike the trend at any other time in Earth's geologic history. 

It also shows that without this human influence, by the start of the Industrial Revolution, the planet would have likely been headed for another ice age. 

"Had it not been for early agriculture, Earth's climate would be significantly cooler today," says lead author, Stephen Vavrus, a senior scientist in the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Climatic Research in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. "The ancient roots of farming produced enough carbon dioxide and methane to influence the environment."

Cory Booker Solidifies his Status as the Senate's Biggest Fool

No, Cory, you are not Spartacus. 

• For those of you who don’t know, Cory Booker heroically® (according to his P.R. operation) defied Senate rules and risked expulsion from that chamber in order to release confidential documents that the American people desperately needed to see. The people needed to understand what the dangerous bigot whom Trump nominated to the Court had written in an email about racial profiling while working in the Bush White House after 9/11.
• There were only a couple of problems: The email in question was already cleared for public release (and Booker knew it), and the substance of the email revealed that the Monster Kavanaugh opposedracial profiling. It was as if Cory Booker — once a famous, if choreographed, good Samaritan — saw a mugging, leapt out of his car, tire-iron in hand, to save the day only to stop 20 feet from the assailant in front of some TV cameras, and proceed to smash the makeshift weapon into his own crotch. “I am Spartacus! Ow! I am Spartacus — Ooof!”

Charles Hurt Calls for the Removal of Barack Obama from Office

He no longer even attempts to do his job.

Has our president officially lost his ability to discharge the powers and duties of his office?

Anyone who listened to President Obama speak to reporters in Paris on Tuesday would reasonably conclude it is high time to start drawing up the papers to transmit to Congress for his removal.

If you are one of the millions and millions of literate Americans out there who have simply tuned this president out the past three or four years, that is certainly understandable. But if you tuned in to the long, rambling, empty press conference, you would have been truly alarmed.

Without the use of the teleprompter, his speech can be described only as “halting.” It was impossible to count the number of times he seized up, able to deaden the silence with only a drawn-out “uh,” “um” or “ahhh.”

The White House dutifully scrubbed all the halts and stutters from the official transcript, and it was impossible to count them in real time. But a sample of his incoherent word salad found him stuttering about every 15 words, which comes to more than 330 “uh-um-ahhs” in a single appearance.

This is not the same soaring speaker who inspired so many in 2008. This is a broken-down man who has lost the only gift he ever had.

Another Fake Racist Incident

Fabricated by a professional racial activist.

A recent Kean graduate has been charged with being responsible for a series of tweets threatening black students at the school two weeks ago, acting Union County Prosecutor Grace H. Park announced Tuesday.
Kayla-Simone McKelvey, 24, of Union – a black alum who graduated in May – was charged by summons with third-degree creating a false public alarm.

Park said an investigation by the Union County Prosecutor's Office's Special Prosecutions Unit and Kean University police found that McKelvey, a self-proclaimed activist, participated in a student rally to raise awareness of racism on college campuses on Nov. 17, but left midway through and walked to a computer station in a university library.

Once there, McKelvey allegedly created an anonymous Twitter account –  @keanuagainstblk – and began posting threats of violence against black Kean students.

A Wave of Rape Follows the Tide of Muslim Immigrants

I'm seeing a pattern. 

A growing number of women and young girls housed in refugee shelters in Germany are being raped, sexually assaulted and even forced into prostitution by male asylum seekers, according to German social work organizations with first-hand knowledge of the situation.

• Although the rape took place in June, police kept silent about it for nearly three months, until local media published a story about the crime. According to an editorial comment in the newspaper Westfalen-Blatt, police are refusing to go public about crimes involving refugees and migrants because they do not want to give legitimacy to critics of mass migration.
• A 13-year-old Muslim girl was raped by another asylum seeker at a refugee facility in Detmold, a city in west-central Germany. The girl and her mother reportedly fled their homeland to escape a culture of sexual violence.
• Approximately 80% of the refugees/migrants at the shelter in Munich are male… the price for sex with female asylum seekers is ten euros. — Bavarian Broadcasting (Bayerischer Rundfunk).
• Police in the Bavarian town of Mering, where a 16-year-old-girl was raped on September 11, have issued a warning to parents not to allow their children to go outside unaccompanied. In the Bavarian town of Pocking, administrators of the Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium have warned parents not to let their daughter’s wear revealing clothing in order to avoid “misunderstandings.”
• “When Muslim teenage boys go to open air swimming pools, they are overwhelmed when they see girls in bikinis. These boys, who come from a culture where for women it is frowned upon to show naked skin, will follow girls and bother them without their realizing it. Naturally, this generates fear.” — Bavarian politician, quoted in Die Welt.
• A police raid on the Munich refugee facility found that guards hired to provide security at the site were trafficking drugs and weapons and were turning a blind eye to the prostitution.
• Meanwhile, the raping of German women by asylum seekers is becoming commonplace.

Mark Halperin's Racist Interview With Ted Cruz

Of course, we all remember when Mark Halperin asked Barack Obama to speak Swahili and perform Kenyan tribal dances.

Tony Rodham, A Parasite on a Parasite

Sleaze just runs in the Clinton family. 

As the youngest of three children, Tony Rodham has lived in the shadow of his sister. He never finished college, and he worked at a variety of jobs — as a prison guard, private detective and at the Democratic National Committee — until after the Clintons were in the White House, when he became a consultant and deal broker. 

Obama Regime Buries its Head in the Sand - In Plain Sight

Okay, so let me get this right:  There was an MOU insisted upon by the State Department (and White House) to ensure that, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, there was full transparency of any foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, to protect against the possibility that foreign donors to the Foundation might be giving their money in exchange for favorable treatment by Secretary of State Clinton.  And that MOU was violated repeatedly.  Now, the Obama Administration is refusing to even investigate whether Clinton’s violation of the MOU may have actually caused the sort of bribery problems the MOU was designed to prevent?

Okay, so why have an MOU in the first place, if violations of it were not going to ever be investigated, or the agreement otherwise enforced?  Was it all just a dog and pony show, to allow Clinton to become Secretary of State and deflect possible criticism of her taking the post, given the potential for conflicts of interest?  The questions answer themselves, of course, but the fact that the Obama Administration is so blatantly and flippantly disregarding this nation’s interest in preventing corruption (at the highest level) is breathtaking– and telling.

Progressives Love Blasphemous Art, as Long as it's Anti-Christian

Wanna dunk a crucifix into a jar of urine? According to liberals, you should get a federal grant.

Which brings us to Pamela Geller. I’m consistent: I didn’t like “Piss Christ,” and I don’t like insulting drawings of Mohammed. If Geller wanted an NEA grant to dunk Mohammed in beautifully illuminated urine, I would disagree quite strongly.  

But that’s not what she’s doing. She’s contending that in America, people are allowed to say offensive things without risking execution. I am at a loss as to why anyone would disagree with that. But I am utterly baffled how people who think it’s censorship to withdraw funding for anti-Christian “hate speech” can argue that private individuals have no right to express anti-Muslim views.

Pamela Geller Exposes Democrats, Muslims and Journalism

“Belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man.” – Thomas Paine

As CNN reported the news of a terrorist attack on Pamela Geller’s Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, any depiction of the Muslim prophet was blurred out. I did not bother tuning into other network broadcasts, but I have no doubt that all respectable news outlets similarly behaved in a similarly cowardly manner.

You won’t find the Mohammed cartoons in any newspapers either.

And they call the critics of Islam, “Islamophobes?” Please remind me: Who is it that‘s afraid of Islam? As Inigo Montoya remarked: “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

What’s more amazing is that the very same people who will argue that Islam is a “religion of peace,” will also claim that the attack on Pamela Geller’s art exhibit was “predictable.”

This is what happens when one ideology has a near monopoly on mass media. They get intellectually complacent.

In the 1990’s, a controversy erupted after the National Endowment for the Arts funded several blasphemous, anti-Christian art exhibitions. After North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms vowed to strip funding from the NEA budget, the New York Times childishly called Helms “Senator Know-Nothing” and argued that offensive art was so essential to free speech that government should subsidize it.

But when it’s Pamela Geller defending the First Amendment, elite opinion has no use for her efforts.

 The government will subsidize art that offends Christians but will not provide security for Pamela Geller.

Generations of Campus Speech Codes Yields Ignorant Cable News Hosts

While most of the media are criticizing Pamela Geller for hosting a Mohammed drawing contest, Erick Wemple points out that Geller is one of the few defending the First Amendment from Islamofascim. Most of the media lack the courage to stand up for free speech.

Cable news personalities are hired to ask tough questions, and so these folks were doing their jobs in pressing Geller. Yet the unspoken message they send with this line of inquiry is one of suppression — that what Geller and her invitees were doing was wrong, provocative, naughty, stupid and downright unnecessary. Some pundits used those very words or a mixture of them. 

This strain of thought speaks to the power of precedent. In January, terrorists carried out a massacre of the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine, a publication that had compiled a record of depicting Muhammad in satirical ways. The attack, per force, elevated the newsworthiness of those cartoons: There was no way to fully understand the alleged motivations of the attackers without sampling the drawings that had placed a target on the magazine. 

Yet the American media folded into a crouch of cowardice and rationalization. The Associated Press’s statement said it would “refrain from moving deliberately provocative images.” The major networks stayed away from the pictures, and the cable networks followed suit, for the most part, with Fox News showing glimpses here and there. CNN said it was withholding the images as a measure to protect its personnel in overseas hotspots. (In the immediate aftermath of the attack, The Washington Post’s news side didn’t traffic in the images, though the editorial side published one on its op-ed page.)
