Round up Post

Monday, June 15th, 2015

Favors to foundation donors stretch back to Hillary Clinton’s Senate days.  Corruption and the Clintons are old friends.

CIA releases memo showing agency blamed Bill Clinton for bankrupting war on terror ahead of 9/11.  There is a reason ABC has been pressured to never release The Path to 9/11 after the original, one time, airing.

Flight Logs Confirm Clinton and Dershowitz Flew on Pedophile Billionaire’s Sex Jet.  Of course there is a blackout of this on most of the so-called “main stream” media.  On the other hand, this is Billy Jeff Clinton we’re talking about.  It would have been surprising if he hadn’t been on a jet to an island where he could have sex with underaged girls.

Politico sat on allegations Lois Lerner had prior history of targeting conservatives. Given Politico’s well known left leaning tendencies, this is not a surprise.

Presented without further comment: How the @AP reports on two female presidential candidates from different parties.

Round Up Post

Sunday, March 22nd, 2015

First off is a case of far left extremist (in this case a “social justice warrior”) putting up “Whites Only” stickers around Austin, TX.  He did to show how conservatives are “racists” and stuff.  All too often, cases of “hate crimes” like this are perpetrated by “progressives” in order to make reality match their extremist agenda.   HT to Leslie Bates for this one.

Next, the “most transparent administration ever” has announced that the IRS isn’t going to release any documents concerning their well documented targeting of conservative political groups.  In Obamamerica, the Freedom of Speech protections of the First Amendment only applies to speech our Dear Leader approves of.

The National Review points out that the Obama administration and Congressional democrats  “are practically praying for a Christian terrorist.”   They keep turning up to be Muslims though…

Quote of the Day

Saturday, March 14th, 2015

Jonah Goldberg makes the following accurate observation:

When someone asks, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a female president?” the correct answer, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, to be sure, is “Yes.”

When asked, “Wouldn’t it be great to have Hillary Clinton as president?” The correct answer, again with varying degrees of enthusiasm, is “Oh, dear God, no. No, no, no. No.”

What Hillary Clinton is trying to do is to make these questions synonymous. If you’re against having Hillary Clinton as president, you’re against having a woman president. It was a game that Barack Obama played with some sophistication. The “Ready for Hillary” crowd is about as subtle as a case of the clap.

In case you need reminding why this is true, here is just one reason: ‘Clintons turned the State Department into a racket to line their own pockets’

Another Four Pinocchios for Obama

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015

Once again, the Washington Post Fact Checker has given our Dear Leader the highest rating, Four Pinocchios, for out right lying to the American People.

This time it is for spreading leftist propaganda about the Keystone pipeline.

As we have noted before, when the president says “it bypasses the United States,” he leaves out a very important step. The crude oil would travel to the Gulf Coast, where it would be refined into products such as motor gasoline and diesel fuel (known as a distillate fuel in the trade). Current trends suggest that only about half of that refined product would be exported, and it could easily be lower.

Finally, note that Obama said Keystone was just for Canadian oil, and “we should be focusing on American infrastructure for American jobs and American producers.” But actually, Keystone would help U.S. oil producers in North Dakota and Montana. TransCanada, the builder of the pipeline, has signed contracts to move 65,000 barrels a day from the Bakken area –and hopes to build that to 100,000. That’s nearly 10 percent of the region’s production.

So not only is Barry lying, he’s repeating lies.  As the Washington Post article, reports from the State Department show that he is lying.

Previous Four Pinocchio rating for our Dear Leader include lies about President George H.W. Bush’s amnesty program, and lies about his signature Obamacare fiasco.

Culture of Corruption

Thursday, February 19th, 2015

As I’ve pointed out before, if you want to know what the left is up to, just observe what they accuse those they perceive as foes of.

Case in the point, the “Culture of Corruption” charge they leveled against the Republicans.

Let’s review how that actually works

Former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was indicted Thursday on three charges after his arrest in a federal bribery case.

The indictment was returned in Manhattan federal court, where he appeared briefly last month when he was freed on bail just a day after sharing the stage with Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his State of the State address.

Then there is the DNC spokesliar, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  Politico reports that her “office offered to change her position on medical marijuana if a major Florida donor recanted his withering criticism of her…”

Two key democrat voting demographics

Sunday, November 2nd, 2014

With the mid-term elections coming fast (Tuesday, except if you are Progressive, then you have a special voting day on Wednesday), expect the democrats to try and maximize two of their two key voting demographics, the dead and non-citizens.

Let us review:

Mr. Reynolds was spot on correct when he said the following about democrats, “Remember,  you don’t just have to beat them. You have to beat them beyond the margin of fraud.”

Update: First case of voter fraud confirmed in New Mexico. It won’t be the last.

The left’s War on Women

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

As I have pointed out before, if you want to know what the left is up to, just check what they are accusing others of.

Case in point, the so-called “War on Women.”

While giving a get-out-the-vote speech at a Florence, South Carolina political event, Democrat gubernatorial candidate, State Senator Vincent Shaheen, told cheering fans of his opponent, sitting Republican governor Nikki Haley, “We are going to escort whore out the door.”

A so-called “reporter” at CNN by the name of Carol Costello, got on her high hobby horse in defense of “violence against women” when a football player got caught on camera, but she found the story of Bristol Palin being assaulted a source of humor.    The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds.

This double standard of the left, where they condone, and even support, violence against any woman who does not support their extremist agenda, is not new.

Conservative columnist Mary Katharine Ham wrote the following ten years ago in about her “liberal” friends response to threats of violence against her.

Why did I deserve it? Because I’m conservative, and to my liberal acquaintances, “conservative” is interchangeable with any number of fun words, like racist, homophobe,  warmonger, and bigot. Even my best liberal friends have refuse to let go of these one-dimensional definitions despite the fact that a three-dimensional specimen has been disproving all of them throughout our friendship. So much for nuance.

In short, I deserved it because I’m a conservative (wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) And when you’re dealing with people as dastardly as conservatives, anything goes.

This same rationale allowed liberal acquaintances to giggle when Ann Coulter was attacked by two young men with pies and shrug as former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris was almost run over. NOW and NARAL would be holding weekly violence-against-women awareness marches if the same had happened to Maureen Dowd and Hillary Clinton.

There was the New York Times’ dreams of an assassination attempt on President Bush and Ted Rall’s double whammy hit on the mentally handicapped and Bush voters. But then came Condi Rice’s appointment to Secretary of State. What a goldmine that was!

Suddenly, racism was an acceptable political tool. Jokes about Mammies and big-lipped caricatures were en vogue. Most of us got the memo that our culture deems these kind of attacks to be about as reprehensible as they get. Liberal cartoonists and commentators got that memo too. But there was no retraction from them, and not a peep from the NAACP or NOW.

Why no outrage? Because Condi deserved it. She’s a conservative, you know.

Calling Condi “Brown Sugar” becomes a reasonable criticism because she is a member of the Bush administration. A physical attack on Coulter is a laughing matter because she is a hawk. Tailing a female acquaintance on a dark night becomes a funny joke because she’s conservative.

It seems to me that this is not the path to a civil political climate or national healing, both of which my liberal friends want. To me, my liberal friends and acquaintances are folks who are a little too soft on national defense and a little too heavy on the government programs for my taste. They do not deserve physical or racist attacks for that, and I do not laugh when they happen. I wish they felt the same way about me.

Round Up Post

Sunday, October 26th, 2014

Let’s lead with Obama’s illegal “Fast and Furious” gun running operation.  Read the whole thing, what the Obama White House has been claiming “executive privilege” over is all about the cover up of their illegal activities. This scandal has a large body count, and senior members of the Obama administration, including Valerie Jarrett, should be getting jail time for their involvement.

It’s has been obvious for a long time that the so-called “progressive” left is no fan of free speech. They are not just making it part of the official  record.

Massachusetts democrat candidate for governor Martha Coakley is such a horrible candidate, that even the far left Boston Globe endorses Charlie Baker, her Republican opponent.

Speaking of far left wing newspapers, the Washington Post admits that not only is voter fraud widespread, it  could even be the deciding factor in multiple elections.

More vote fraud

Thursday, October 23rd, 2014

You remember Christina “Tita” Ayala, the Connecticut state rep recently arrested on 19 counts of vote fraud.  If you don’t, it probably because it didn’t get much news coverage.  It didn’t promote the news media agenda on two counts.  First, it was an actual case of vote fraud, which they constantly claim doesn’t happen, and she is a democrat.

This wasn’t an “isolated incident” either.  Let us review some recent news.

James O’Keefe Catches CO Dems Advocating “Awesome” Voter Fraud

 “Go F*ck Yourself, Gringo” Says Democrat Operative Caught Openly Stuffing Hundreds Of Ballots

‘Calibration error’ changes GOP votes to Dem in Illinois county.  Let’s be honest here, it was perfectly “calibrated” for an election in democrat controlled Illinois.  The only error was that someone actually complained about it.

Update: Mr. Reynolds makes the following true statement about democrats, “Remember,  you don’t just have to beat them. You have to beat them beyond the margin of fraud.”

Round Up Post

Sunday, October 19th, 2014

Joe “Plugs” Biden’s son Hunter was booted out of the Navy for failing a mandatory drug test.  In this case, he tested positive for cocaine.  Hunter was only the Navy for about month before his illegal drug use was detected. He needed, not one, but two special waivers to enter the Naval Reserve in 2013. One for his age (i.e over 40), and one for his prior drug conviction.  Waivers are usually given special skills in short supply, not “public relations”, which was Plugs Jr’s Navy job.  It’s pretty clear that the only reason he got those waivers was that his dad is our Dear Leader‘s bullet proof vest. I’m kinda surprised that this story even ran the New York Times.  I’m not surprised that they buried the story on page A22 of the print edition.  If this had been the son of a senior Republican elected official, this would have been front page, above the fold news.  The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds.

Speaking of Presidents, AoSHQ shows how a President should behave. Here is a hint, it isn’t spending more time on the golf course than in intelligence briefings.

Back to one of Barry’s many, many scandals.  Sharyl Attkinsson is still digging up fresh dirt on the Obama so called “Justice Department” illegally running firearms to Mexican drug cartels.

One of the so called “reporters” at CBS “News” is flaunting her ignorance all over Twitter.

It’s good to know American still has real heroes.  Example: Veteran stands up for 2nd Amendment at Chicago anti-gun forum

In democrat controlled Los Angeles, CA, police have been sending out patrol cars that collect the licence plate number of every car around them.  These “Law Enforcement” agencies have refused to release any information about the data they have collected because, wait for it,  every single car seen is under investigation.  Really.

There was a major Civil Rights victory in Texas.
