Must-Watch: Irish MP Blasts President Obama as 'Hypocrite of the Century'
IJReview "President Obama got blasted by Clare Daly, a fiery Irish Member of Parliament. She rips the shameful, sycophantic American media for supporting a ‘war criminal’ and the ‘hypocrite of the century.’ And — she’s a soft socialist.

Rebranding the Hillary Clinton that many of us knew for years
Is New York’s de Blasio prompting a repositioning by the Clintons? "It isn’t often that the swearing-in of a new mayor of New York draws national television attention, but then, it isn’t every day that you see a mayor sworn in by a former president of the United States with a prospective presidential candidate also on the stage."
NYT, Hillary and Obama's War on a Mom " In a shameless glaring act of hypocrisy to rehabilitate Hillary Clinton's presidential aspirations, the New York Times published an article doubling down on the Obama Administration's lie that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was due to an anti-Islam video."
....
"These people, NYT, Hillary and Obama are always railing about their phony bologna made-up GOP War on Women, all the while displaying a callous cold disregard for Pat Smith who has been simply seeking the truth about the greatest loss of her life." Lloyd Marcus.
No way Hillary could ever gain our troops’ trust "And I agree with feminist Camille Paglia that Hillary Clinton disqualified herself as a presidential candidate with her handling of Benghazi.
"Here’s why" ...
....
"So how would our military trust a commander in chief when, as secretary of state, she hung our own Navy SEALs and U.S. ambassador out to dry in Benghazi?"
Bill and Hillary Clinton: A Life of Violating People "Hillary is a serial perjurer who says she did not give orders to fire the White House Travel Office in 1993, even though David Watkins later said Hillary said to “fire their asses” and he wrote a memo saying there would be “hell to pay” if they Travel Office was not fired immediately."
Secret Service agent: Clinton’s staff rude, Hillary aloof "On the first lady, he describes her as aloof, someone who didn’t say “thank you” to agents while the president and former first daughter Chelsea typically did. He told Secrets, “she was not as out-going or cordial.' ”
The price of political ignorance: More government
....
"Some people vote because it gives them pleasure — the satisfaction of expressive behavior — and because they feel duty-bound to cast a ballot that, by itself, makes virtually no difference, but affirms a process that does." ...
De Blasio’s inauguration was a left-wing celebration.
John Fund at NRO;
"Bill in the China Shop: ‘We Won’t Wait, We’ll Do It Now’"
"Bill in the China Shop: ‘We Won’t Wait, We’ll Do It Now’"
"We all knew we were in for something completely different when the inauguration of self-described “progressive” Bill de Blasio as New York’s mayor began with a keynote from pro-Communist activist Harry Belafonte.
....
"The speeches finally over, the crowd went into City Hall to celebrate the arrival of the New Progressivism. I noted that Bertha Lewis, the former national head of the scandal-ridden ACORN “community-organizing” group, was an honored guest. ... ACORN had long sought to put de Blasio into the mayor’s office. “Without exaggeration, ACORN’s long-range plan since 2001 was to elect de Blasio mayor,” the insider said. “De Blasio was a big ACORN project.' ”

Jake Tapper Reports on Impression of ‘Bitter Partisanship’ and Exclusionary Tone of DeBlasio Inauguration "CNN host Jake Tapper reported on Wednesday at the conclusion of the inauguration of New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio that many left the ceremony with the impression that the new administration would be anything but inclusive. He reported on the feeling apparently shared by some, including former members of Mike Bloomberg’s administration, that DeBlasio’s inauguration sounded a note of “bitter partisanship.' ”
Journalists Tingle as Bill de Blasio's Inaugurated in New York City With a 'Progressive Jamboree' "The "Bill de Blasio moment" will be a good opportunity to separate the true socialists in the media elite from the more conventional partisans who worry that the Democrats will be pushed too far to the Left to be electable. After all, journalists never tire of suggesting the Tea Party is too far right to help the Republicans. Why wouldn't they suggest de Blasio is a similar danger for the other side?"
Oh, yeah; de Blasio's wife

Obamacare: your government of, by, and for the people
It's official: Obamacare caused more cancelled plans than enrollments "This is one stat that we haven't heard from the White House. They announced on Tuesday that 2.1 million people had signed up on the exchanges (no one knows how many of those have actually paid). Meanwhile, it appears that at least 4.7 million Americans had their plans cancelled by Obamacare's coverage mandates." Rick Moran
The biggest Obamacare whopper of all "President Obama told an even bigger lie than his promises about keeping your insurance and doctor, if you like them. And Politifcat already has a leading candidate for the biggest lie of 2014. Betsy McCaughey explains in the New York Post why his words, "you're not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making," amount to biggest whopper of all:" ...Thomas Lifson
Thirty-one changes to Obamacare...so far "By our count at the Galen Institute, more than 31 significant changes already have been made to ObamaCare: at least 14 that President Obama has made unilaterally, 15 that Congress has passed and the president has signed, and 2 by the Supreme Court. But even this large number of changes hasn’t stopped the cascade of failures we are seeing today in the implementation of the law." ...

What does Mayor-elect DeBasio have against horses?
Liberals will not leave us alone to live our lives. Why can't they just work part time?
Rick Moran "New York city mayor-elect Bill DeBasio is out to ban the iconic horse-drawn carriage rides around Central Park so beloved of tourists and romantics alike.
NY Daily News:
"Celebrities have been driving the opposition to the horse-drawn carriage:"
...."Miley Cyrus? DeBlasio is going to destroy a fine tradtion on the word of an air head twerker? And Alec Baldwin likes horses more than gay people? Who would have thought that?"
NY Daily News:
"We are going to get rid of the horse carriages. Period," de Blasio said in response to a question at his press conference announcing his schools chancellor pick Monday.....
"It's over," he said.
De Blasio said he would work with existing drivers to set them up with alternative vehicles to ferry tourists around Central Park.
De Blasio and advocacy groups who support him say it's inhumane to make the horses work the dangerous city streets, but drivers insist their horses are well cared for and there's no reason to end the industry.

Jan 1, 1944: World War II Today
Hope and dread for the New Year in Berlin
"Many people were hoping that 1944 would bring a better year. For many it did not seem an unrealistic prospect that the war would be over by the end of the year. An Allied victory now seemed inevitable, although there was much uncertainty as to how that would come about.
"Ursula von Kardorff was a young journalist working in Berlin. She had already lost one of her two brothers on the frontline. Berlin itself was increasingly looking like a battlefield itself as more and more building were destroyed by the bombing. She moved in circles where many young officers were anti Nazi, although she knew very well how careful they had to be in expressing such sentiments. Her diary, if ever discovered by the authorities, would have seen her sent to a concentration camp at the very least:
She writes, seventy years ago:
"Berlin, 1 January 1944
"1943. The worst year of my life. Jurgen’s death, the raids, people rendered homeless by bombing, so that the Germans now wander around as homeless as the Jews, loaded down with the same kinds of sacks and bundles. At least it relieves one of some of one’s guilt, and that is a comfort.
"I imagine that the climax of the war will be reached in the spring and that if we, here in Germany, do not do something soon to change the situation radically we shall be finished by the autumn. By then the Russians will be here.
"See Ursula von Kardorff: Diary of a nightmare: Berlin, 1942-1945

What You Need to Know About the Left's Big Issue for 2014/ Alan Caruba update: Obama's 2014 Big Lie: Income Inequality
"The left has been gearing up for months. The liberal Center for American Progress launched a new center devoted to the subject, and President Obama has been making it a centerpiece of his speeches.
"Get ready to hear about “fairness”—because some people make more money than others, and this isn’t fair. How can you sit by and watch this happen? What is the government going to do about it?
"Quick and easy—that’s the allure of the left’s argument. But there are two things you should know about it."....
UPDATE: Obama's 2014 Big Lie: Income Inequality by Alan Caruba
"As the liberal disaster called Obamacare unfolds, President Barack Obama is already embarked on his next Big Lie: income inequality.
"It’s useful to visit some of the planks of Karl Marx’s 1848 Communist Manifesto. They included abolition of private property—the keystone of capitalism—and the application of all rents of land to a public purpose. Marx advocated a heavy progressive or graduated income tax whereas a fair tax that treats all Americans fairly by taxing what you spend instead of what you earn. The current tax code is more than 73,000 pages! Marx wanted to eliminate all rights of inheritance and centralize credit by means of a national bank." ...
