For a month now, the media meme has been that Michael Brown was a “gentle giant” who, despite the video surveillance tape of him robbing a store and roughing up the owner/clerk who tried to stop him from leaving without paying, was a “gentle giant” with no criminal record. That is a very touching story. One which would make the fact that Officer Darren Wilson shot...
After Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, I found that the single best source of worthwhile information about the incident – one which had verifiable facts media were not bothering to give us – was a web site called conservativetreehouse.com. And damned if it is not front and center on the Michael Brown incident as well. Last month this site listened closely...
Congratulations (of a sort) are in order: President Obama has just hit 38% in Gallup\’s daily three-day tracking poll. That is the lowest he has ever been – and a drop from 42% just two days ago. The last time Mr. Obama hit 50% in this poll was May 28-30, 2013. I wonder if he is developing a strategy to make people like him again….
We have friends who had tickets to see Joan Rivers at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey last Friday. When the show was cancelled the day before, because she was hospitalized after something went wrong during what appeared to be a minor throat procedure (it had to be minor if that show was still scheduled to go on), they looked forward to a new date being set for her...
If you read this blog you know that when congresspeople attempted to enter the places where illegals – some of them minors, some of them not minors – were (and still are) held as they flood into our country, they were denied the ability to do so. And, of course, our mainstream media, much of which continues to shield the Obama administration from any serious scrutiny...
It has been a while since I posted an installment of “Dim Bulb Debbie Strikes Again” – not because Debbie Wasserman Schultz does not ongoingly provide material for the series, but because if you do too much of anything it eventually gets tiresome. This one, however, I must write about. On Monday, DWS was in Milwaukee, at a round table discussion of “women\’s...
I want to be sympathetic toward Gazan citizens. I really do. I keep trying to convince myself that a large number of them are victims, who are stuck with hamas\’s governance whether they want it or not (no elections have been held since 2006 – not that elections mattered even then, since hamas, which won a majority of the legislative seats...
For 13 years, haters of President Bush have lied to us that he had a memo which warned of the 9/11 attack before it happened. I have debunked this lie numbers of times over the years – by doing nothing more than putting up the memo itself, which – as anyone can see when they read it instead of taking the Bush haters\’ word for it – shows no such warning. In fact I...
Here is the beginning of yesterday\’s article by politico.com\’s Alex Isenstadt: Tepidfundraising, underperforming candidates and a lousy party brand arethreatening to deprive House Republicans of the sweeping 2014 gainsthat some top party officials have been predicting this year. And then we have this, today, from Guy Benson of hotair.com: Brandnew numbers from a fresh...
What happens when a President tosses aside the constitution and spends a half year bombing a dictator-run country into oblivion with no idea of what will happen if the dictator is deposed – i.e. whether what replaces the dictator will be better or worse? Well, that\’s what Barack Obama did in Libya. The result? A terrorist playground – no functioning...
You cannot find a person more committed to equality between men and women than me. But you also cannot find a person more turned when BS – whether about gender equality or anything else – is presented as facts. Unfortunately, when it comes to gender inequality, a very large amoung of the latter is used to advocate for the former. Which brings us to the...
How damaging would it be for President Obama to do another of his unilateral “we can\’t wait” routines by declaring he is going to bypass the constitution again, and implement his idea of “Immigration Reform”? Well, if the latest Investors Business Daily poll is accurate, it would be politically suicidal – not for Mr. Obama (he\’s not going to be running...
Quin Hillyer is a contributing editor at nationalreview.com. In that capacity, he has written a lament about President Obama that vividly brings features the problems with this man and his administration. You can read it all by clicking here, but let me show you a few (by no means all) of the key points Mr. Hillyer makes: Knowledgeablepeople were calling for Obama to beginair strikes...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Vice President Joe Biden – a man who, in recent months, the Obama administration has diligently tried to keep from view…but who surfaced in Detroit today and gave us this gem: “Youknow there is an outfit called Standard and Poors, the leadingfinancial services group. It says, \’You want U.S. income inequity hasreached levels not seen...
Regarding the confrontation between 18 year old Michael Brown and Police Officer Darren Wilson, let\’s look at the facts no one disputes (which takes very little time, since so few of them qualify): -Michael Brown and Officer Darren Wilson had a confrontation. -It culminated in Wilson shooting Brown. -Brown died as the result of being shot. After this, just about...
