Hillary’s unfavorability rating continues its upward climb

Legal Insurrection  "New polling released by Gallup shows a steady upward tick in Hillary’s unfavorability rating.

"While Hillary’s approval ratings have hovered around 50%, her unfavorability rating has steadily increased since March. Now up a full 7 points since her presidential candidacy announcement, is Mrs. Clinton’s campaign facing imminent danger?" . . .

 

The more Americans see Hillary Clinton this time, the less they like her

 What ‘Deflate-gate’ Can Teach Us about the Clintons’ Continued Popularity  . . . "Conservatives are often bumfuzzled by how the Clintons continue to maintain good electability ratings even as the “trustworthiness” ratings sink into the gutter. The new poll on quarterback Tom Brady and the “Deflate-gate” scandal provides an answer.

"In short, a large number of Americans just don’t think ethics are very important. Here are the two key numbers from the poll on Brady: 69 percent of avid fans “think Brady cheated.” Yet 61 percent of avid fans think Brady “is a good role model for young people.” This means that at least 30 percent of “avid” fans think that Brady is both a cheater and a good role model.

‘THE LEFT IS KILLING FREE SPEECH': Kristen Powers’ New Book has Progressives Panties in a Wad

GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com 

 

"This is hilarious. Especially because Kristen is a liberal.

"Liberal Fox News’ contributor Kirsten Powers was on the firing line from the left Monday over her new book — and there’s going to be a lot more to come.

"Tellingly, Powers spent the day defending herself against the same tactics she outlines in“The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech.”

"Despite the book’s positive reviews, Powers was met with contempt by fellow liberal writers who didn’t appreciate her expose of how progressives continually use race, religion, gender and personal “smoke and mirror” attacks to systematically shut down opposing views.

Charles Krauthammer: ‘Pathological’ President ‘Doesn’t Know a Damn Thing About Fox’ (Video)

 PJ Tatler ..."On Hugh Hewitt’s radio program Wednesday, Charles Krauthammer, a licensed psychiatrist, couldn’t decide if President Obama is delusional or merely cynical. He also said the president is “sort of … pathological” in the way he picks up “these (anti-Fox) memes” while not knowing “a damn thing” about what’s on Fox News.
"Dr. K. was reacting to the startling comments Obama made at George Washington University Tuesday:

. . . "Krauthammer quipped, “I remember we talked about it last night on Special Report, and I suggested that Fox buy a full-page ad touting the fact that Barack Obama is apparently now a constant viewer of Fox News, he’s such an expert on it.”
. . .
"Dr. K did make one firm diagnosis." :

“He’s got a tick,” he said. “I said last night, he’s got a tick, and it’s curable. I was going to offer to cure it myself, but I’m otherwise occupied. And even though licensed, I don’t practice anymore.”

The Shameful Rush to Blame the Amtrak Crash on our ‘Infrastructure Crisis’

Ian Tuttle ..."First responders had not finished combing the wreckage of Tuesday night’s Amtrak derailment for bodies when the liberal outlet Vox posted:

 

"First — and this seems important — we don’t yet know what caused the derailment. An investigation is under way. Sources tell the Wall Street Journal that the train was traveling more than 100 mph — more than twice the speed limit — as it entered the curve where it derailed. But the bottom line is, we don’t know what happened.

 Slideshow of the crash scene.

"Yet ThinkProgress is currently flogging a piece entitled “Why You Can’t Talk about the Amtrak Derailment Without Talking about Our Infrastructure Crisis.” Of course you can. And you should. Until an investigation uncovers evidence that unsound infrastructure was a contributing factor in the crash, it would be irresponsible to speculate. Unless (to Jonah’s point) you’re less interested in the tragedy itself than in exploiting it for political gain." . . .

Goodnight My General, Sleep Well…

 

Rabid Republican Blog

 "Defense Minister Hyon Yong-chol, who recently spoke at a Moscow defense conference, – has been executed by anti-aircraft fire in North Korea."

 

 "The head general insulted NorK Runt Kim Jung un by falling asleep in a meeting."

 

 "I’m guessing the perverted insecure runt likes to see pieces of flying meat, – rather than simply watching a bullet-riddled body slump in place.

"So far this year [2015] Kim is reported to have ordered the death of at least a dozen high officials – all in public executions.  But he’s got an army overflowing with generals – so replacing executed leaders is very easy.  What are they going to say when offered a promotion…?"
. . . 
 "So while Obama plays patty-cake with the Iranian Twelvers, – and plays the politics of race-baiting and class warfare here at home,  – it will only take one bad morning in Kim Jung un’s life to forever re-arrange the world order…."

Huge BDS loss – GreenStar Food Coop rejects Israel boycott

Legal Insurrection

 

"Activists from Ithaca Jewish Voice for Peace brought a referendum to the GreenStar Food Coop in Ithaca calling for a boycott of Israeli products. The effort was national, with big names such as Angela Davis (radical anti-Israel prof.) and Medea Benjamin (Code Pink) lending their support (see Featured Image).

"The effort was rejected tonight unanimously by the GreenStar Council based on the NY State Human Rights law prohibition of boycotts based on national origin. (Full decision at bottom of post.)

"Similar to the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, NY, the referenda caused enormous tension among the GreenStar membership and within the community. See our prior posts:" . . .

 Sick: BDS groups spread photoshop of Concentration Camp inmates holding anti-Israel signs
 "We are dealing with some really sick minds when it comes to the proponents of the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement propaganda machine.
"The latest is from a group with over 91,000 Facebook fans, called “I Acknowledge Apartheid Exists.”
"That phrase is an integral part of the BDS movement, which falsely seeks to portray Israel as the equivalent of apartheid South Africa. That claim of Apartheid status was the founding propaganda principle of the BDS movement, which was started at the anti-Semitic 2001 Durban conference.

"The group has posted a photoshop of Nazi concentration camp inmates holding anti-Israel signs, on its Facebook page. It’s unclear if the group created it, or is just promoting it."

 

UK: Cameron's First Move After Election, New Laws to "Combat Poisonous Islamist Ideology"

Infidel Bloggers Alliance

 

From the Times of India:

LONDON: In what is his first major policy announcement since winning last week's general election, Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday announced new laws to combat a "poisonous Islamist ideology". 

The PM announced plans for a new Counter-Extremism Bill at the first meeting of the new National Security Council (NSC) in Downing Street. 

The new legislation will include introducing banning orders for extremist organizations who seek to undermine democracy or use hate speech in public places, new extremism disruption orders to restrict people who seek to radicalise young people and powers to close premises where extremists seek to influence others. 

It also includes strengthening the powers of the Charity Commission to root out charities who misappropriate funds towards extremism and terrorism, further immigration restrictions on extremists and a strengthened role for Ofcom to take action against channels which broadcast extremist content. 

Cameron said, "For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens: as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone. It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of extremism and grievance. This government will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach.". . .

Hillary's "Mediaphobia". Better she keeps her mouth shut.

The NFL suspended Tom Brady for four games for text-messaging clubhouse workers to deflate game balls to his grip and liking. He was mum the next day. Tom Brady referred all questions about his refusal to give NFL investigators his smart phone and text messages to his lawyer, Hillary Clinton. Comedian Argus Hamilton

Brady Deflates, Hillary Skates  " That the standards of transparency are seemingly higher for an NFL Super Bowl quarterback than for a former Secretary of State and presidential wannabe does not bode well for our republic nor speak well of the state of the so-called mainstream media. But the double standards regarding media treatment of Tom Brady versus Hillary Clinton are many and troubling."
. . .
"Do we hold NFL quarterbacks to higher standards than presidential contenders? He used deflated footballs against NFL rules but he did not leave our diplomatic mission in Benghazi with inadequate security and then blame the deaths of four Americans after the September 1, 2011 terrorist attack on an Internet video. Nor did he try to enhance his reputation by claiming to have dodged sniper fire in Bosnia."

Hillary's Mediaphobia..."Hillary Clinton is running a groundbreaking campaign by breaking records in her avoidance of the media. If she continues on this path, in just a few days it will be one month since she answered a single journalist’s question.

"Considering how left leaning the media is and how easily they let leftists get away with bogus answers, Hillary really is quite the little coward (among other things), isn’t she? " . . .   
Of course, when Clinton speaks to the press, this is often the kind of image she presents of America:                          

Good grief; she's another Obama on the world stage! Why are there not millions more who are embarrassed by those we choose to run this nation? TD

Did you know about this apology to the world from Hillary?

Marco Rubio Says America’s Physical Strength Has ‘Deteriorated’ Under Obama

Both cartoons by TerrellAfterMath

Observer/News  ..."Laying out a hawkish foreign policy vision repudiating the Obama era, Sen. Marco Rubio declared in Manhattan today that America’s physical and ideological strength had “deteriorated” since Mr. Obama took office in 2009.

"Mr. Rubio, a Florida Republican and leading contender for president, said his foreign policy agenda would have three pillars: projecting American strength with more defense spending, more free trade, and a “proud advocacy” of American core values. In his prepared remarks, he also called Hillary Clinton, a top Democratic presidential contender, a “leader from yesterday.”

"Mr. Obama “entered office believing America was too hard on our adversaries, too engaged in too many places, and that if we just took a step back, did some ‘nation building at home’–ceding leadership to other countries–America would be better liked and the world better off,” Mr. Rubio said at a Council on Foreign Relations event.

“ 'He demonstrated a disregard for our moral purpose that at times flirted with disdain. He criticized America for having ‘arrogance’ and the audacity to ‘dictate our terms’ to other nations,” Mr. Rubio continued. “From his reset with Russia, to his open hand to Iran, to his unreciprocated opening to Cuba, he has embraced regimes that systematically oppose every principle our nation has long championed.” . . .
