King Living Like a King; People Living Rotten

141122-king
 
"President Obama believed in his heart that marriage is between a man and a woman. Until one day he woke up and he didn’t. He said he evolved.
 
"The president likes to insist he’s not a king. Twenty-two times he insisted he couldn’t just change the immigration law. Until Thursday he did. He insisted his position hadn’t changed.

King

But what more can we expect from a king in silk stockings and pink satin pants? (Allan Sherman My Son the Nut, “You Went the Wrong Way, Old King Louie”)
 

Obama to Congress: It’s My Way or My Way


Jonah Goldberg : Congress’ placating the president on immigration would establish a precedent for lawless executive action.
... "Like a cannibal in a coma ward, I have no idea where to begin. It is always remarkable to me — which is why I am remarking upon it — how the only way this president can be rescued from a bad news cycle is if an even worse one comes along. This is a source of frustration for many on the right who get outraged by the fact that “we” don’t talk enough about Fast & Furious or Benghazi or the IRS scandal or the VA scandal or Ukraine/Syria/Islamic State/China/Libya/Gitmo . . . . etc. The reason some of these topics get pushed to the backburner, even on the right, is that another controversy or scandal suddenly eclipses the previous one." ...  Full article

Andrew C. McCarthy:  Alinsky Does Amnesty : The only limit on the president’s power that he recognizes is political expediency. 
 
"President Obama is an Alinskyite.​

"That assertion is not an epithet — well, not primarily. True, I would not describe someone I admired as an “Alinskyite.” Saul Alinsky was a loathsome figure — a radical statist who whose toxic brew of thoroughgoing deceit and brass-knuckles extortion (“direct action”) has become a part of mainstream politics. But in tying the president to the seminal community organizer whose theories and tactics so influenced him, my purpose is more to decode than to insult him."  Full article

O-WHIPPED: REPUBLICANS LEAVE TOWN WITHOUT IMMIGRATION BLOCK…
 Blasts Boehner…
"Last Tuesday, Obama crossed a Rubicon, ostentatiously demonstrating his Caesarian contempt for the law by effectively granting amnesty to 5 million illegal aliens (those the president calls “undocumented immigrants”). He brazenly circumvented Congress and traduced the Constitution (violating along the way his oath to “faithfully execute” the laws).

"What will the Republican establishment do about this upsurge of tyranny? On the evidence so far, not much. They will whine. They will bluster.  They will file toothless lawsuits that are guaranteed to go nowhere and achieve nothing." ...

Ferguson Protests Grow Larger: ‘We Don’t Give a F--- about Your Laws’

NRO  "The protests in Ferguson, Mo., on Friday night grew larger than previous days’ gatherings of protesters, despite the rain and cold weather. Police officers used a megaphone to ask protesters to leave the street outside the Ferguson Police Department or they would be arrested. In this video, protesters responded by chanting ”F— the police” and shouting “We don’t give a f— about your laws like you don’t give a f— about our lives.” Warning: Video contains foul language."
 

 

 
 
... "The District of Columbia has had black mayors and predominately black city council for nearly the past 30 years and blacks are killed daily most often by other blacks. I wonder if Mr. French considers the “black government in DC to blame” or if the race card is reserved only for blacks, who are allegedly killed by cops or white people?

"Black advocates like French, Sharpton and President Obama need to start playing the honesty card for a change and allow true justice be served."

Culturist Suicide

Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson

American Thinker   "With Obama’s promised amnesty for illegal people, America has committed culturist suicide.  Culturism is the belief that a traditional majority culture has the right and duty to protect, promote, and promulgate itself.  This mission is now lost beyond hope.  And this is fatal to America, because cultural diversity is real and important.

"Obama claims that his amnesty will impact only 5 million people.  How will they check that?  Who will check that?  Believe me, fraud will be rampant and we do not have the resources or will to check it.  And, this news will – as did Obama’s earlier promise not to deport children – create an enormous spike in illegals.  We no longer have a southern border.
...
Culturism believes in assimilation.  When minorities are pressured to assimilate, over time, they will.  But this means schools must push majority culture pride.  When large swaths of the nation are Latino, when multiculturalists push Spanish and Latino pride, we will assimilate to them, not the reverse; the majority culture will be replaced.

Bombshell: Email Proves that White House, DOJ Targeted Reporter Sharyl Attkisson


PJ Media  ... "One of the documents provides smoking gun proof that the Obama White House and the Eric Holder Justice Department colluded to get CBS News to block reporter Sharyl Attkisson. Attkisson was one of the few mainstream media reporters who paid any attention to the deadly gun-running scandal.
 
"In an email dated October 4, 2011, Attorney General Holder’s top press aide, Tracy Schmaler, called Attkisson “out of control.” Schmaler told White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz that he intended to call CBS news anchor Bob Schieffer to get the network to stop Attkisson." ...

Liberals Still Don’t Realize They Lost   "Democrats lost control of the Senate and the House (again) earlier this month, but you’d never know it from the way they’re acting right now.
"Progressives are high-fiving each other over a new Benghazi report which still doesn’t reveal the deceptions Obama and Hillary used by blaming the attack on a YouTube video.

"They’re also really excited about Obama’s bold new power grab on immigration this week.

"They’re dreaming. They’re in denial.

Congress Seems Happy to Have Its Powers Usurped    ..."In the Senate, meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren expressed her approval, as did power-players Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, Patty Murray, Bob Menendez, and Michael Bennet. With a few virtuous exceptions, those that did not champion the action elected at best to remain silent." ...
 
" ...the root cause of the Republican party’s present dilemma is that the body that it leads has largely elected to abdicate its constitutional role — not, as President Obama likes to imply, because it has failed to do what the White House wishes it to do, but because it is proving so shamefully unwilling to defend its authority." ... 

McCain: Obama repeating Vietnam mistakes

'Why he hasn't learned from Iraq ... confounds me.'

... "McCain ridiculed “the so-called air war against ISIS.”

“ 'We warned ISIS a week ahead of time that we’re going to strike. I’m told, I’ll find out when I get back to Washington, that the process of approval of a target strike is very similar to that of the Vietnam war, where the targets were decided in the White House in the situation room. I think in some ways we are seeing a replay of that war.”

"How did the former POW rate Obama as a commander in chief?

“ 'He’s got the same kind of team around him that Lyndon Johnson had around him. There’s just no doubt about it. This latest thing, trying to work with the Iranians against ISIS – the same people that are arming (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad, the same people who brought in Hezbollah to change the equation on the battlefield. And providing Assad with the weapons and barrel bombs to slaughter the Free Syrian Army.”...

Obama And Holder Release Messages For Ferguson Mob And Law Enforcement

You law enforcement guys better behave!
Nice Deb  "Ahead of the grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri, both outgoing (finally!)Attorney General Eric Holder and Emperor Obama released messages warning law enforcement to behave themselves.

“ 'The Justice Department encourages law enforcement officials, in every jurisdiction, to work with the communities they serve to minimize needless confrontation,” Holder said.

“ 'Over the past few months, we’ve seen demonstrations and protests that have sought to bring attention to real and significant underlying issues involving police practices, implicit bias, and pervasive community distrust.  And in most cases, these demonstrations have been both meaningful and responsible, and have brought vital issues to the attention of the public at large,” the Holder said in a video.

"(That’s a fascinating take since the shooting sparked months of  violent protests, property destruction and looting in Ferguson, and law enforcement officials there have been bracing for more violence  after the decision is announced.)

“ 'I know, from first-hand experience, that demonstrations like these have the potential to spark a sustained and positive national dialogue, to provide momentum to a necessary conversation, and to bring about critical reform.”

"Full transcript, here.
 

 
"What does he mean by “implicit bias?” Stopping a suspect who fits the description of a person who just robbed a convenience store? Should the police just stop doing their jobs so as not to show “implicit bias”?

"And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that this “national dialogue” Holder wants to inflict on the nation isn’t the pro-law and order dialogue you and I would prefer. The cringe-inducing term “critical reform” applies to law enforcement - not law breakers."

Schlafly: Obama's election strategy for Ferguson flops  “I think that Obama and his attorney general really fomented [unrest] in order to hopefully win the election on November 4,” Schlafly said. “They wanted to inflame people in order to get their voters out to vote. I think it was deliberately done, and they weren’t content to just let the process take its course.
 
“ 'I think it has backfired, and the Republicans won a tremendous victory despite everything,” she added." ...

BREAKING!! Ferguson Grand Jury Announcement To Be Held On Sunday!!

Ferguson

Wayne Dupree   "Multiple news sources say that a Grand Jury decision has been made and it will be announced Sunday at some point. Developing…

"The shooting death of Michael Brown occurred on August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, MO. a suburb of St. Louis. Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, 28, a white police officer. The disputed circumstances of the shooting resulted in protests and civil unrest and received a large amount of Nationwide, even worldwide attention.

"A Grand Jury is now deliberating on weather or not Wilson will be charged.

"CNN is reporting that Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, MO, police officer whose fatal shooting of a teenager, Michael Brown has set off months of tension, is in the final stages of negotiations to resign."

Some commentary on the global cooling/ global warming/ climate change scare.

Charles Krauthammer: The climate pact swindle
"... the radical unilateralism advocated by climate alarmists, would be not just economic suicide but economic suicide without purpose. It would do nothing to reduce atmospheric CO2 as long as China, India and the other developing nations more than make up for our cuts with their huge and increasing carbon emissions."
 
"China alone is firing up a new coal plant every eight to 10 days. We could close every coal mine in Kentucky and West Virginia and achieve absolutely nothing except devastating Appalachia and, in effect, shipping its economic lifeblood to China."...
 
... "The only way forward on greenhouse gases is global reduction by global agreement. A pact with China would be a good start.
 
"Unfortunately, the Obama-Xi agreement is nothing of the sort. It is a fraud of Gruberian (as in Jonathan) proportions. Its main plank commits China to begin cutting carbon emissions 16 years from now. On the other hand, the United States, having already cut more carbon emissions than any nation on earth since 2005, must now double its current rate of carbon cutting to meet a new, more restrictive goal by 2025. In return for which, China will keep increasing its carbon emissions year after year throughout that period — and for five years beyond.
Emphasis mine.

Alan Caruba: Obama's Cruel and Costly Climate Hoax
 
... "We are colder these days because the Earth has been in a cooling cycle for 19 years and that cycle is based entirely on the Sun which has been radiating less heat for the same period of time."
...
"A cruel and costly climate hoax is being perpetrated by President Obama and, in particular, by the Environmental Protection Agency. The new Congress must take whatever action it can to reverse and stop the harm that it represents; people’s jobs and lives depend on it."
