WH Correspondents’ Dinner Celebrates the Death of Journalism This Weekend

CNS News

 

 "The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner is Saturday night, and the supposed reason it is held is to raise money for journalism scholarships.  But as Patrick Gavin wrote at Politico, “So why, then, does the Association only dole out around $100,000 in scholarships annually when some of the richest people in the world are at their dinner?”  Good question.

"Gavin made a movie about the most excessive dinner, which is not just a dinner but a three and a half day weekend of partying by politicians, journalists, Hollywood celebrities, and power brokers in the nation’s capital.  “Nerd Prom” is supposed to shock audiences about the extravagance and depravity that Washington, D.C. burps up every year.
. . . 
 "The president's attitude, and his lawlessness, has lulled journalism to sleep at a time when they were supposed to act as our alarm. Meanwhile, they are celebrating and congratulating themselves this weekend, and then they will go back to sleep.

Jen Kuznicki is a wife and mother, seamstress by trade, and American patriot who says, "Now is the time to act."

Weasel Zippers

 

"He’s weak sauce in everything he does or fails to do."

Via WH Dossier:

President Obama issued a statement on the Armenian genocide that amounts to a contortionist act at the circus, implying the word “genocide” while twisting himself into knots to avoid using the actual term. Today is the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, committed by the Turks. Obama promised during his 2008 campaign to finally use the dreaded word to describe what happened. But, frightened of the reaction by the Turks, he is breaking his promise.

The statement he issued instead must be the warm up by his joke writers, who are piecing together his remarks for Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ dinner. Because this has to be a joke.

Obama lays it on thick, as if a surplus of emotion can atone for the deficit of moral fortitude. The statement is nearly 800 words, among them tear jerkers like “horrific,” “horrors” “solemn” “painful” “solemn” (again) “painful” (again) “terrible” and “dark.”

He tries as hard as possible to get within inches of using the word “genocide” without actually deploying it.

Armenia remembers 'genocide campaign' 
" Ceremonies are being held in Armenia to mark the centenary of the start of mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks.

"The presidents of France and Russia joined other leaders at the memorial for the victims on the outskirts of the capital, Yerevan.

"Armenia says up to 1.5 million people died, a figure disputed by Turkey.

"Turkey strongly objects to the use of the term genocide to describe the killings and the issue has soured relations between the nations." . . .

No Tears for Dead Al-Qaeda Hostage Warren Weinstein; Loved Muslims More Than Fellow Americans, Jews

Debbie Schlussel .."Back in 2011, I wrote about Warren Weinstein and who he really was. He was no different than all of the American “aid workers” and “humanitarians” who purposely and deliberately risk their lives to help America-haters. They are suddenly “AMERICAN!” when they are kidnapped and want to be saved, when it’s too late. My thoughts about Warren Weinstein from December 2, 2011 are the same today, so they bear repeating:

You’ll see no tears from me over Warren Weinstein, the Jewish American hostage taken by Al-Qaeda in Pakistan. Weinstein not only worked for USAID, but, after retiring, decided to remain in Pakistan–for SEVEN years–working for a private contractor. That’s the lifestyle of a far-leftist who is Jewish and American in name only. We all know what happened to Daniel Pearl, who also went to Pakistan of his own accord, just as Weinstein did. Pearl was kidnapped, beheaded, and chopped up like a chicken for dinner because he went to interview individuals he knew were bent on America’s destruction . . . and the Jews’ destruction. But he went anyway. And Warren Weinstein chose to live in Pakistan for seven years as a private citizen.

What kind of “American”–what kind of “Jew”–does that? One who has zero emotional or moral ties to either of those words. Weinstein is supposed to be some sort of expert in “development,” but the only Jews and the only Americans interested in developing Pakistan are the ones who turn a blind eye to Pakistan’s attacks on American soldiers, tourists in Mumbai, and the attack on the Mumbai Chabad Lubavitch Jewish Center.

Iran Leader's Nephew To Obama: They're Lying To You

Truth Revolt

 

"PJ Media reports that an open letter to President Obama from the nephew of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Dr. Mahmoud Moradkhani, was posted on an Iranian website this past Tuesday. The extraordinary letter states in no uncertain terms that Khamenei is lying in his negotiations with the West, relying on taqiyya, (the Shia doctrine which allows Muslims to lie to infidels in order to further Islam’s goals). Moradkhani clearly states that the Islamic regime has deceived the Iranian people, compares their deception to Hitler’s actions, accuses some of the West’s media of censoring remarks made by Iranian opponents of the regime, calls for Obama to reject the nuclear deal and pleads for the end of the Islamic regime in Iran.


 "The full text follows:"

 Dear Mr. President

I am presenting this open letter as one of the serious opponents of the Islamic republic of Iran on behalf of the like-minded opposition groups and myself. Because of my knowledge of this regime, especially of Ali Khamenei who is my uncle (my mother’s brother), I see it as my duty to inform you about this regime and the issue of nuclear negotiations with the Islamic regime of Iran.

 Let me at first inform you that the regime that falsely calls itself a republic came to power in 1979 by deceiving Iranian people and the world through provoking Iranian people against the regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and gaining the support of the world community.

 The tragedy of Cinema Rex*, believing in Khomeini’s words and then establishing a backward regime that is violent, medieval and against all international laws are all results of Iranian people and the world community being deceived. We are witnessing that not only a rich and cultured country like Iran has become a victim of this regime but also the Middle East and the whole free world. The intervention of Ali Khamenei’s regime (following Khomeini’s footsteps who had no other intention other that domination of Iraq) in Lebanon, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria is more than obvious. As if these were not enough, he has now added the Arabian Peninsula to that list.

In any case, this regime has done great damage to Iranians and to the international community.

 We can find a historical example of this kind of deception prior to the Second World War. Hitler manipulated and deceived German people and European countries and the hesitation in addressing the problem with Hitler led to a great disaster.   Keep reading...

 

Boston Marathon Bomber’s True Colors Shown to Jurors

Legal Insurrection
 "Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s obvious lack of remorse."
You wondered how Tsarnaev was handling the death of the little boy who was standing by the explosive he planted? Like this:

 

"As the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev entered the penalty phase yesterday, jurors were shown a photo of the Boston Marathon bomber giving the finger to a jail security camera after his arrest.

"The Boston Globe reported:

Jurors view footage of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev making obscene gesture

Jurors in the death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Wednesday were shown video of him making an obscene gesture as well as holding his fingers in the shape of “V” to a surveillance camera in a courthouse holding cell three months after he was arrested in the terror attack.

A prosecutor had shown a picture of Tsarnaev making the obscene gesture to the jury in US District Court in Boston at the end of her opening statement in the penalty phase of the trial on Tuesday, underlining her argument that he was “unconcerned, unrepentant, and unchanged” after the attack.

Reminder: As President, Hillary Could be Subject to Blackmail

http://www.investors.com/editorial-cartoons/michael-ramirez/749426

American Thinker 

 "If Hillary Clinton’s emails were intercepted by the Russians or Chinese (or other governments with active cyber war programs), she would be subject to blackmail since her “missing” emails could well have embarrassing (or worse) details of the nature of both the donations to the Clinton Foundation and the extravagant speaking fees for Bill.

"Early in her term as Secretary of State, Hillary traveled to Beijing to meet with China’s Foreign Minister.  At that time, her email account was not encrypted and it would have been relatively easy for any traffic on her Blackberry to be intercepted by the Chinese government including her email password.  Even after encryption, her emails could be intercepted as long as the password had not changed. Her email server might have been hacked as well.

. . .

 "Even if the Chinese or other governments had not intercepted the emails, the very fact that they could have been intercepted, would open up Hillary to blackmail. A foreign minister meeting with President Hillary Clinton could hint at the prospect of releasing emails inimical to her future as president, and that country would have enormous influence over the conduct of her foreign policy.

"We are well into a dangerous period of conflict and aggression in many parts of the world. The very prospect of a future president who is subject to blackmail would seriously undermine the ability of the United States to counter that aggression."   (Emphases added, TD)

Clinton Defender Howard Dean Loses Morning Joe
 "Wow. First David Brock and now Howard Dean. Is there something in the water at MSNBC?

"Dean is the former chair of the DNC, a role now filled by our favorite Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz. As a long time party loyalist, Dean appeared on Morning Joe yesterday and attempted to downplay new scandalous revelations regarding the Clintons.

"Hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough could barely contain their skepticism." . . .
Dean's "jihad" for Hillary?

Krauthammer: Obama’s Nixon doctrine: anointing Iran

Mr. Krauthammer is not this president's biggest fan.

 

 Obama’s initial Middle East strategy was simply withdrawal. He would enter history as the ultimate peace president, ushering in a new era in which “the tide of war is receding.” The subsequent vacuum having been filled, unfortunately and predictably, by various enemies, adversaries and irredeemables, Obama lighted upon a new idea: We don’t just withdraw, we hand the baton. To Iran.

Our allies cannot have contempt for only Obama; they must doubt the intelligence of the American voters who put him into office -twice.  This fact must make them doubt the quality of the next government we choose. TD

Charles Krauthammer

 "In December, President Obama said that he wished to see Iran ultimately become a “very successful regional power.” His wish — a nightmare for the Western-oriented Arab states — is becoming a reality. Consider:

"Gulf of Aden: Iran sends a flotilla of warships and weapons-carrying freighters to reinforce the rebels in Yemen — a noncontiguous, non-Persian, nonthreatening (to Iran) Arabian state — asserting its new status as regional bully and arbiter. The Obama administration sends an aircraft carrier group, apparently to prevent this gross breach of the U.N. weapons embargo on Yemen. Instead, the administration announces that it has no intention of doing anything. Meanwhile, it exerts pressure on Saudi Arabia to halt its air war over Yemen and agree to negotiate a political settlement involving Iran." . . .Full article

 

Silence THIS… #@%$@#%!

"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. – Voltaire

"There are plenty of idiots out there saying lots of dumb things that I absolutely disagree with… I mean look at Sally Kohn, Amanda Marcotte, Lena Dunham, ALL male feminists. And sure, they’re annoying and often times have me looking for some sharp object to poke through my eye HOWEVER that being said, I would never go out of my way to try and silence them. Never. You see I have this pesky habit of supporting and fighting for freedom of speech, you know, that little nugget in the Bill of Rights? I know, how totally un-hip to give a s--t about such things because the new cool has become silencing people who disagree with you and calling it harassment.

"I am referring of course to twitter’s seemingly new policy that is “shadowbanning” users without much rhyme or reason other than something they’ve tweeted has been deemed harassment. Without knowing said guidelines that sets a lot of people up to be flagged, which sounds a little bit like flogged and hey, that works for me. Here’s what happens." . . .

Alan Caruba: The White House is Lying About Climate Change and Health

http://terrellaftermath.com/

The Weather Channel reports that thunderstorms and heavy lightning hit the Eastern Seaboard Wednesday, disrupting thousands of flights. Just hours later, tornadoes swept across the Great Plains and hail storms battered the Midwest. It sounds like somebody didn't get what she wanted for Earth Day.      Comedian Argus Hamilton

Warning Signs  . . . "Let us understand, too, that there has always been what the White House announcement calls “extreme weather events.”  Notice the change from “climate” to “weather”? Among the events identified are “severe droughts and wildfires to more powerful hurricanes and record heat waves…” Has there been a time when such weather-related events have not occurred? In fact, there are times when they don’t. For example, there hasn’t been a single Category 3-5 hurricane hit the U.S. mainland since 2005!

"The White House has launched a massive brainwashing effort using many elements of the federal government to frighten Americans using the “climate” and the “weather.” How deceptive is it?" . . .

You know these, right?! 11 household names that worked with the Nazis during WWII

War History Online

. . . "Coca-Cola, specifically Fanta. Coke played both sides during World War Two… they supported the American troops but also kept making soda for the Nazis. Then, in 1941, the German branch of Coke ran out of syrup, and couldn’t get any from America because of wartime restrictions. So they invented a new drink, specifically for the Nazis: A fruit-flavored soda called Fanta. That’s right: Long before Fanta was associated with a bunch of exotic women singing a god-awful jingle, it was the unofficial drink of Nazi Germany. (Source: New Statesman)" . . .

"Bayer. During the Holocaust, a German company called IG Farben manufactured the Zyklon B gas used in the Nazi gas chambers. They also funded and helped with Josef Mengele’s “experiments” on concentration camp prisoners. IG Farben is the company that turned the single largest profit from work with the Nazis. After the War, the company was broken up. Bayer was one of its divisions, and went on to become its own company.
"Oh… and aspirin was founded by a Bayer employee, Arthur Eichengrun. But Eichengrun was Jewish, and Bayer didn’t want to admit that a Jewish guy created the one product that keeps their company in business. So, to this day, Bayer officially gives credit to Felix Hoffman, a nice Aryan man, for inventing aspirin. (Source: Alliance for Human Research Protection, Pharmaceutical Achievers)"  Bayer's slaves worked wonders.

Hillary sets the tone

Clinton Cash is a new book saying Hillary used her post as Secretary of State to greatly increase her family's fortune via donations to the Clinton Foundation and high speaking fees for Bill. That's not fair. She was only trying to close the income inequality gap between the Clintons and David Rockefeller. Comedian Argus Hamilton

Jonathan Chait: The Disastrous Clinton Post-Presidency "The qualities of an effective presidency do not seem to transfer onto a post-presidency. Jimmy Carter was an ineffective president who became an exemplary post-president. Bill Clinton appears to be the reverse. All sorts of unproven worst-case-scenario questions float around the web of connections between Bill’s private work, Hillary Clinton’s public role as secretary of State, the Clintons’ quasi-public charity, and Hillary’s noncompliant email system. But the best-case scenario is bad enough: The Clintons have been disorganized and greedy." . . .
And I expect Obama to become another Al Sharpton/ Farrakhan.
