Ann Coulter: YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD MYTH DOWN

Ann Coulter    "We're interrupting our Republican Senate 2014 Marathon this week for a brief note on the media. (But contribute to Scott Brown immediately, and please don't vote for the third-party, tea party candidate in Louisiana, right-wingers! Remember: Obamacare cannot be repealed without 66 votes in the Senate.)"
... 
"I've barely been paying attention to the news, except to check Senate polls every night, because, as some of you may have noticed, I've been in the bat-cave under Swiss Guard protection, writing my next book. But based on only about an hour of media consumption a week, I've recently noticed mainstream "news" outlets telling huge whoppers, long ago disproved and forgotten."
...

... "... MSNBC's Toure repeated the old chestnut about emergency room admissions for domestic violence spiking on Super Bowl Sundays.

"As I have noted at least a half-dozen times, this was a nonsense statistic invented by feminists and then cited as fact by a slew of major news outlets, culminating in a public service announcement during the 1993 Super Bowl that reminded viewers: "Domestic violence is a crime!" Finally, Washington Post reporter Ken Ringle, realizing that he was, in fact, a reporter, asked, Where'd you get that figure?

"He called all the experts who had been cited as sources for the statistic. All of them told him it wasn’t true. 

Julia Pierson, head of the Secret Service is an Obama appointee

Wikipedia   "Julia A. Pierson (born 1959) is an American law enforcement official. She is the Director of the United States Secret Service. Pierson was appointed by President Barack Obama and became the 23rd director and the first woman to head the agency."

 

UPDATE; editors note:  Liberal Boston Herald Cartoonist’s Dog Whistle Racism Was Just A Mistake   More on this cartoon above later today, but meanwhile consider this.

Secret Service Director Promises Congress Security Fail ‘Will Never Happen Again’
... "But Pierson said lethal force can only be employed if an individual poses an imminent threat to himself or herself or others. Based on reports, she said, agents appeared to use proper restraint.
Lawmakers remained angry throughout the exchange with Pierson, with several insisting that her demeanor and responses failed to project sufficient outrage over the incident.

“ 'I believe that you have done a disservice to the president of the United States,” Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) told her at one point.

"At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters that Pierson had not offered her resignation to the president in light of the incident.

NY Times on Ms. Pierson    ... "In a 2007 interview with Smithsonian Magazine, Ms. Pierson said the most dangerous moment she had had on the job was being on the presidential protective detail on Sept. 11, 2001. The most challenging aspect of being an agent, she said, is the strain that the demanding travel schedule can put on family life.

 

"Ms. Pierson was hired to help rehabilitate the image of the Secret Service following a series of controversies — including issues with agents drinking and cavorting with prostitutes — and the security breaches at the White House represent a momentous challenge for her. As she told The Times in an interview last week, “We are certainly going to leave no stone unturned.' ”

 

Morning Joe Asks: Was Female Secret Service Director Case of ‘Quota First, Competency Second’?

"Morning Joe and Laura Ingraham have found something to agree on. Close the borders! No, actually it’s the suspicion that Secret Service Director Julia Pierson was hired out not for her qualifications but out of a need to “rebrand” the Secret Service following a high-profile incident with prostitutes, aka a desire for political cover via gender diversity."

Obama Lies About His Spies’ Intel on the ISIS

Independent Sentinel

 

"Mr. Obama is blaming the intelligence community for his refusal to deal with the ISIS. Everyone in the world – literally everyone – knows he refused to act on ISIS. It was him and him alone. Nothing could move Mr. Obama. It took the beheadings of two Americans to force him to act.
No one would believe the intelligence community underestimated the ISIS. Mr. Obama underestimated the ISIS.

"In an interview aired Sunday night on 60 minutes with Steve Kroft, Mr. Obama blamed the intelligence community for underestimating ISIS.

“Well, I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,” Obama told Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes.
Obama added that the U.S. must help “come up with political solutions in Iraq and Syria in particular, but in the Middle East generally, that arise in an accommodation between Sunni and Shia populations that right now are the biggest cause of conflict — not just in the Middle East, but in the world.”
Kroft said, “You mentioned James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence. I mean, he didn’t just say that we underestimated ISIL. He said we overestimated the ability and the will of our allies, the Iraqi Army, to fight.”
Obama replied, “That’s true. That’s absolutely true.”

Oklahoma Terror and Gun Control

American Thinker  "The horrible murder and beheading of an innocent woman in Oklahoma, committed by a recent Muslim convert, is being studiously ignored by the mainstream media.  As has been pointed out by a number of conservative commentators on AT and elsewhere, the Left cannot countenance the obvious connection between the Oklahoma killer and the actions of Muslim terrorists in the Middle East.  But the Oklahoma murder doesn’t just undermine the Leftist narrative of Muslims as a persecuted minority, rather than as assertive, and sometimes aggressive proselytizers. It also presents a problem on the issue of gun control, as the killer was brought down by a citizen (maybe using a so-called assault weapon) rather than by a small army of SWAT officers. This combination could be the perfect storm for two of the Left’s cherished ideas -- that Islam is the “religion of peace,” and gun control."... More

The more people who see Elbert Guillory’s latest video, the better

Bookworm Room  " I’ve been a fan of Elbert Guillory since May 2013, when he was still a Democrat. Given how much I liked him, I was not surprised when he announced that he was leaving the Democrat party.

"Guillory’s explanation for his decision to switch party affiliations ought to be seen by every black person — heck, by every person — in America. Because Guillory’s views about politics, about the relationship between citizens and government, and about the crushing burden the welfare state has placed on blacks are so beautifully developed, I was delighted to learn that he’d formed a PAC: Free At Last"

"Acting through his PAC, Guillory has just released a new video attacking Mary Landrieu. This, however, is not an ordinary political attack ad. Instead, Guillory asks Louisiana blacks the same question Reagan asked Americans: “Are you better off now?” In 1980, Americans, after looking  back at four years of Jimmy Carter, answered “no.” Guillory asks Louisiana’s blacks to look back at eighteen years of Mary Landrieu and answer “no” too.

"The only problem I can see with Guillory’s most recent video is one of dissemination. I have no idea whether Free At Last has developed a sufficiently good communications network to get this video in front of those black voters who, like sheep, keep sending a Democrat to Congress, no matter that their lives degrade, as she lives ever higher on the hog.  This video will certainly appeal to and be seen by those blacks who have already recognized that the Democrat party thrives only when blacks wither, but will it be seen by the withering blacks?  (Emphasis mine, TD)

"All we can ask is that as many people as possible share this video through social media. The six degrees of separation that is all social media might just be enough to put Guillory’s words in front of those who need to hear them most: American blacks suffering under the jack-booted rule of Democrat overseers who keep them in servitude so as to harvest their votes."

Prosecutor Says Oklahoma Beheading Suspect Was Motivated By Racism, Not Islam: “This Is About Him Not Liking White People”…

I'd say his choice of violence was definitely Islamic, wouldn't you?

... "An Oklahoma man apparently uttered Arabic words during an attack in which he allegedly severed a co-worker’s head, and had “some sort of infatuation with beheadings,” but the killing appeared to have more to do with the man’s suspension from his job than his recent conversion to Islam, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Well, was he shouting "Allahu Akbar!" or "This is for Trayvon"?

"Alton Nolen, 30, could face the death penalty after being charged with first-degree murder in the attack Thursday that authorities say appears to have been an act of revenge for a co-worker’s complaint that got him suspended.

"The FBI also is investigating the attack, given Nolen’s interest in beheadings and a recent surge in Middle East violence." ...

Man Who Allegedly Threatened Women With Beheading In OK Says He Was ‘Joking’

Occupy Member Arrested For Threatening To Bomb University, Rape And Decapitate Female Students

Rosie O'Donnell: Penalizing Muslim NFL Player 'Propels Us to War'

Newsbusters
 

"According to View co-host and 9/11 truther Rosie O'Donnell, a Muslim NFL player being penalized for praying after a touchdown is the kind of thing that "propels us to war." Talking to the other women of the show about Kansas City Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah, Whoopi Goldberg wondered if Americans are "feeding into Muslim fear."

"Somehow extrapolating from a single penalty in one football game, O'Donnell responded, "Yes. I think as a nation we are. I think that, you know, it propels us to war. You have to rally the country in order to bomb a country that did nothing to you and you need to rally them and so that's what I think that was." [MP3 audio here.] ISIS did "nothing" to us? (The NFL has since stated that Abdullah shouldn't have been flagged.) She added, "Anyone is allowed to represent their joy in whatever way possible for two minutes on a football field and I think it's anti-Muslim bias."

NFL: Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah should not have been penalized

 

"Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1 (d) states 'players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations or demonstrations while on the ground.' However, the officiating mechanic in this situation is not to flag a player who goes to the ground as part of religious expression, and as a result, there should have been no penalty on the play."

President Obama and his intelligence service; commentary

Red State

Gee, How Could President Obama Possibly Have Underestimated ISIS?   "In case you missed it, on 60 Minutes Sunday, President Obama threw the intelligence community under the bus by claiming that Jim Clapper, et al dropped the ball in assessing the threat that ISIS posed. This is not the first time Obama has tried to blame his subordinates for providing him with faulty information about ISIS." ...

From Lucianne:

Report: Obama Has Missed over Half His Second-Term Daily Intel Briefings  ...“I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,” said Obama.

"According to Daily Beast reporter Eli Lake, members of the Defense establishment were “flabbergasted” by Obama’s attempt to shift blame. "

Obama Was Warned Repeatedly of Consequences of Withdrawal from Iraq   ... "Adm. Michael Mullen said the consequences of setting a timeline could be “very dangerous” in a 2008 Fox News Sunday interview, and retired Gen. Jack Keane said in 2011 that the Obama administration was “taking steps towards losing this peace” in Iraq with full withdrawal of troops.

“ 'When we walk away at the end of conflicts, it has a tendency not to work,” Keane said." 

 

Obama has had accurate intelligence about ISIS since BEFORE the 2012 election, says administration insider  ..." 'Unless someone very senior has been shredding the president's daily briefings and telling him that the dog ate them, highly accurate predictions about ISIL have been showing up in the Oval Office since before the 2012 election,' said a national security staffer in the Obama administration who is familiar with the content of intelligence briefings." ...

David Limbaugh: Obama's Narcissism a Threat to National Security   ... "This undeniable character trait was on full display in his interview with Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes," in the sense that he simply cannot entertain the possibility, much less -- infinitely less -- admit the possibility that he has made a mistake or exercised poor judgment." ...

If Intel Wrong About ISIS, Is it Also Wrong About Iran?

 

 

 

 

President Obama Needs to Stop Blaming People for ISIS   ... "Frankly, I'm surprised that the White House press corps didn't stand up and give Mr. Karl a standing ovation.   Mr. Karl deserved it!

We are down to two explanations on this matter:
1) President Obama does not read intel reports or questions the people presenting the information.  We've all seen a boss like this before.  You put a memo on his desk, and he never gets to it!  Of course, in the real world, those bosses get fired for incompetence.  They don't have "yes we can" screamers making excuses for them.
2) President Obama chose not to pay attention because these reports challenged the talking points about "ending wars."
Again, we have either an incompetent president who does not read memos or one who is reckless by putting politics over our national security.
There is no other explanation.  He is "in over his head," or he has engaged in a massive cover-up that will get some Americans killed.  What else could it be?"  Full article...

Thomas Sowell on Obama’s Transparency and Other Things

Random thoughts by Thomas Sowell  ... "The biggest issue in this fall’s election is whether the Obama administration will end when Barack Obama leaves the White House or whether it will continue on, by appointing federal judges with lifetime appointments who share President Obama’s contempt for the Constitution. Whether such judges will be confirmed by the Senate depends on whether the Senate continues to be controlled by Democratic majority leader Harry Reid." ...

"Who says the Obama administration is not transparent? They are constantly telling our enemies overseas when we will pull out our troops and where we will not put boots on the ground."  More...

..."I must have heard the word “diversity” proclaimed in ringing tones as a great benefit to society at least a thousand times — and probably closer to a million — without even once hearing a speck of evidence provided or even suggested as a way to test whether that is true or false."

Obama will pay a price for blaming intelligence services for ISIS failures. The only question is how high it will be.

They Lost Their Bakery, Now Face Bankruptcy: Government’s ‘Discrimination’ Fine Brings Baker to Tears

Oppression by "tolerant" liberals in the "Land of the Free":

The Daily Signal   "A bakery owner in Oregon broke down in tears while discussing the fallout of her and her husband’s decision not to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple on the basis of their Christian beliefs."
 

 

"Earlier this year, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries found “substantial evidence” that Aaron and Melissa Klein, owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, discriminated against the lesbian couple.

Oregon bakery owners face a $150,000 discrimination fine for not baking a wedding cake for lesbians.

"They now face a fine in excess of $150,000." ...

“It’s horrible to see your own government doing this to you,” says Aaron Klein of Sweet Cakes by Melissa.
