Angry White House Press Corp Sending List Of Demands To President Obama

Daily Caller

 

"The White House Correspondents’ Association is reportedly crafting a list of demands to be sent to the White House, after an incident last week in which a pool of reporters covering the president’s visit to Salt Lake City were turned away from a meeting between Obama and Mormon leaders. (VIDEO: State Department Lashes Out At Reporters For Paris March Questions)

"The list of demands is not yet complete, but will contain a series of written promises the press corps wants the White House to commit to. “We’ve been working on that document for almost a year now and will have more to say about it when we release it later this spring,” Association President Christi Parsons told the Washington Examiner’s Eddy Scarry.

"Although the Salt Lake City incident appears to be the immediate cause, Obama has long had a troubled relationship with the White House press corps. Reporters have openly complained about the White House’s lack of transparency, with some even claiming to have been on the receiving end of “profanity-laced tirades” from White House officials." . . .

 "Progressives: Violence against #MemoriesPizza is good"

Progressive liberal fascists are cool if Memories Pizza get vandalized or burnt to the ground. You know why? Because only conservatives recognize violence. It’s all good!

 

 

Let's Fake A Deal

Hopenchange

 

"In absolutely stunning news, Iran has agreed to a nuclear deal with the United States and a small consortium of other nations that hate Israel.

"Well, it's not a deal deal. It's a deal to agree on a framework for a deal which will happen in the near future. And what could possibly go wrong with that?

"We'll tell you. Or better still, we'll make this a little quiz! We'll present two facts about the (ahem) "deal" and see if you can catch a little problem that John Kerry seems to have overlooked. Ready?

"According to the details of the agreement, "Iran’s breakout timeline – the time that it would take for Iran to acquire enough fissile material for one weapon – is currently assessed to be 2 to 3 months. That timeline will be extended to at least one year, for a duration of at least ten years, under this framework."

"And when will Iran agree to the framework? In 3 months.

"If you're vigorously smacking yourself in the forehead right now, congratulations! You're better qualified to handle nuclear arms negotiations (and basic math) than anyone in the Obama administration!

"Understandably, Bibi Netanyahu isn't too happy about all of this - especially since a high-ranking member of the Iran's Revolutionary Guard recently said that "erasing Israel from the map" remains "non-negotiable."

"Maybe not, but thanks to the tireless efforts of Barack Obama and John Kerry, Israel's destruction at the hands of Iran is very, very, very unlikely. For the next 2 to 3 months, anyway."

Instead Of Displaying His Medal Of Honor, This War Veteran Wears THIS Shirt To Mock Muslim Terrorists

American Overlook

"Dakota Meyer, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, knows how to stand up to the Islamic extremist terrorist group ISIS. Perhaps you remember Meyer’s famous quote when ISIS started making threats against Americans. If you agree with it, bookmark this page now.

“ 'I can’t travel over there anymore now that I’m out of the Marine Corps, so having them come to me would help out a lot. ISIS targeting the U.S. military is like a sheep targeting a lion. Hopefully one of those a*****es actually shows up.”
In honor of Dakota Meyers, Ranger Up is not selling t-shirts that bear the brave veteran’s bold words.

"Ranger Up has confirmed that Dakota Meyers, who is now engaged to be married to Bristol Palin, has partnered with the label in creating these American anti-ISIS t-shirts." . . .

"Another shirt quoting Meyer says, “Never Outgunned.”

"That’s appropriate because Meyer is the second youngest living Medal of Honor recipient and the first Marine to receive the award in 38 years.

"He received the honor for his heroics in rescuing 12 wounded allies and providing cover for 24 outnumbered Marines and soldiers in a battle in Afghanistan."

News Anchor Reveals Obama Will Get You Fired If You Talk Negatively About Him

American Overlook

 

"CNN anchor Carol Costello decided to come out about threats she has received by the Obama Administration for talking bad about Obama.

"She said “I felt it first hand when I was reporting on the presidential race,” … ” President Obama’s people can be quite nasty. They don’t like you to say anything bad about their boss, and they’re not afraid to use whatever means they have at hand to stop you from doing that, including threatening your job.”

"This came during a discussion about the firing of national security official Jofi Jospeh over tweets he sent out.

CNN Anchor Reveals Obama Administration Officials Threaten Journalists Who Make Obama Look Bad   
 "Ever wonder why so many mainstream media outlets seem to love Obama so much? Here’s some insight on the subject from CNN’s Carol Costello… "

 CNN anchor Costello's verbal assault on Bristol Palin  Says she:  “Okay. I’m just going to come right out and say it. This is quite possibly the best minute and a half of audio we’ve ever come across — well, come across in a long time anyway. A massive brawl in Anchorage, Alaska, reportedly involving Sarah Palin’s kids and her husband. It was sparked after someone pushed one of her daughters at a party. That’s what Bristol Palin told police in an interview after the incident. And now police have released audio of that interview. It does include some rather colorful language from Bristol. Here now is Bristol’s recollection of how that night unfolded. So sit back and enjoy.”

Silliest post of the day: SATIRE: Spielberg & George Lucas Announce Name Change For Indiana Jones #BoycottIndiana

Truth Revolt

. . . Spielberg: Correct. If Governor Pence doesn't repeal the law, then "Indiana" will no longer be a name associated with our franchise. Henceforth, all merchandise, DVDs, or Disney theme park rides will be given a new name of our choosing.

TR: What about all the times they call him "Indiana" throughout the films?

Lucas: I've spoken with all the actors, they've agreed to dub their parts. Sean Connery blew us off, but his voice won't be hard to impersonate.

TR: I'm having trouble seeing the big deal here. Wasn't Indiana just a nickname he stole from his dog? I mean, let's be honest guys, Sean Connery kind of killed the mystique there. The guy's over 70 now, adventure can't always be his name, can't you just make him give it up in the next installment as a symbol of his retirement and then continue the franchise with Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams?

Lucas: Absolutely not! I have make-up artists and costume designers calling me at the Skywalker Ranch every waking hour, lamenting that whenever they look upon that poster from Raiders with the word "Indiana" triumphantly pressing on them in orange and yellow letters, they see only a white, heterosexual male, literally cracking his whip of Christian oppression at them. . .

HIDDEN CAMERA: Will Muslim Bakeries Make a Gay Wedding Cake?

Truth Revolt   "Yes folks, I did this. I went there. You have this now.  Actually, I taped this video a long time ago but due to audio corruption issues, was never able to upload it.  Now that my in-house whizz kid, Jared was able to salvage the footage, I am now passing it onto you. What do you think happens when a gay, like SUPER gay Crowder tries to get a super gay wedding cake baked at a Muslim bakery? I'm pretty sure you can guess, but you might as well watch this week's adventure to Dearborn, MI to find out! "

Surrender to Tehran

NRO Editors: Surrender to Tehran. . . "The Iranians’ success has little to do with the ability of the Iranian negotiators and a lot to do with the Obama administration’s zeal for an agreement at any cost. The president wanted a deal because he has been desperate to forge a opening to the Iranian regime since the beginning of his presidency, and unenforceable international agreements that damage American interests are his favorite form of laurel. (Winning wars seems to rank a good bit lower.)"

Who can doubt that Obama will be fine as long as the deal holds together until he is out of office. Afterward he is fine with the whole thing falling apart - especially if a Republican president takes office - because he can then blame the next administration just as he has blamed his present failures on President Bush. TD

How Does Iran Interpret the Agreement?   "Well, this is a bit inconvenient. Iran’s state-controlled Tehran Times gives a breakdown of the takeaway from its nuclear negotiations. And it’s not exactly consistent with President Barack Obama’s triumphalist take."
. . . " Unfortunately, the president’s ego will likely prevent him from acknowledging that."

 Thursday, A Nuke Deal, Friday, Iran Calls Obama A Liar . . . "On Thursday, the Swiss gal who made the announcement about the EU sanctions and said much the same thing as Zarif.
"This is what John Kerry said on Thursday."  Video
 . . . "I’d like to know how we can trust our administration if they can’t even tell the truth in the speech describing the agreement."

How exactly does the US get the Russians and the EU to "snap back in place" all sanctions because we say they should? Once those sanctions end, that is it; the game is over for the good guys (non- Russian nations, that is).  .

 

Tehran Hoodwinks Clueless U.S. Negotiators     . . . "In the end, deal or no deal, the Obama administration's national security failings will have forever emboldened Iran to continue its regional dominance and hegemonic effort.  Iran will become an inevitable nuclear threat.

First Friday Prayers after Deal: “Death to America”

Was Memories Pizza a Victim of Irresponsible Journalism? Yes.

First things first: We must learn the term "yellow journalism"   "Yellow journalism is exaggerated or biased media reporting that is disguised as fact. Originating out of an intense competition between rival newspapers in the late 1800s, it involves taking a factual story and presenting it in a sensational or distorted way. It may be used to invoke fear, loathing, uncertainty or even sympathy in readers, but often, the bottom line is an attempt to boost sales or viewership and gain more market share." . . . and, I might add, Democrat voters.


Reason.com    Reason.com's position: "Memories Pizza, while not as gay-affirming as many of us would like, didn't announce pending discrimination."

  "Many in the media—particularly on the right—are now accusing those who reported and re-reported the story of irresponsible journalism. And they have a very good case.

"The owners of Memories Pizza, the O'Connor family, did not willingly seek out controversy, deny service to a gay person or couple, or even go out on a limb to suggest that they would. No, they merely responded to a question from Alyssa Marino, a local reporter for ABC 57 News who had come to their shop in search of a story.

"And they did give her a story—but not the one she reported. Her initial headline was "RFRA: First Michiana business to publicly deny same-sex service" (Michiana is the region in Indiana where Memories Pizza is located). That headline implies two things that are false. The O'Connors had no intention of becoming the first Michiana business to do anything discriminatory with respect to gay people; they had merely answered a hypothetical question about what would happen if a gay couple asked them to cater a wedding. And the O'Connors had every intention of providing regular service to gay people—just not their weddings." . . .

. . . "The people who made those threats are at fault, but so are the journalists who erroneously reported on this story—who made a merely unfriendly policy seem like a declaration of pending discrimination against the next gay person to walk through the front door of Memories Pizza."

 

Sorry, Media: Polls Show Majorities Side with Indiana’s Christian Pizzeria   "A Marist poll taken just last month found that 54% of those polled, including a 47% – 45% plurality of Democrats, agreed with “allowing First Amendment religious liberty protection or exemptions for faith based organizations and individuals even when it conflicts with government laws.' ”

"A fundraiser was started for the owners of Memories to support them and the public has raised more than $485K."
