Anger: Anti-Beyonce Rally Planned For Next Week At NFL Headquarters

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
CBS New York  . . . "Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told CBS2 that the NFL should have canceled her appearance.
“ 'I found the entire show objectionable. It was extolling the Black Panthers who were a terrorist organization, killing police officers in the 60s and 70s,” King said.  A protest is even being held against Beyonce next week outside NFL’s headquarters in New York.
"According to an Event Brite page, an Anti-Beyonce Protest rally will be held Tuesday, Feb. 16, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
“ Are you offended as an American that Beyoncé pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl? Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement? Do you agree that the Black Panthers was/is a hate group which should not be glorified? Come and let’s stand together. Let’s tell the NFL we don’t want hate speech & racism at the Superbowl ever again!” the page reads.
"Despite the criticism, Beyonce has seen her share of supporters for her performance. Black Lives Matter activist Melina Abdullah praised her for being like artists who “are willing to raise social consciousness and use their artistry to advance social justice.' ” . . .  Obama's America

BLACK ACTIVIST GROUP IN CHICAGO DEMANDS REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY

Beyoncé's 'black power' salute during Super Bowl 50 halftime show slammed by Rudy Giuliani as 'attack' on police“This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive,” Giuliani said.

“And what we should be doing in the African-American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers. And focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK, we’ll work on that. But the vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe,” he said."

Madeline Albright Hurts Clinton’s Campaign — but Not for the Reason You Think

Fiscal Times  "Hillary Clinton is struggling to connect with young women voters, so she has brought in… Madeleine Albright? Enlisting the 78-year-old to chase millennials may seem far-fetched, but it’s a gift to voters and to the GOP. Just as Hillary’s claims of advocacy for women encouraged criticism of her husband’s sexual misadventures, trotting out Bill Clinton’s former Secretary of State allows us to revisit how her husband’s presidency all but ignored the brewing Islamic jihad against the U.S.   
"Hillary Clinton offers her husband’s time in office as a halcyon time of peace and prosperity. The truth is that Bill Clinton, like President Obama, made a cataclysmic choice early on that has cost this country untold amounts of blood and treasure. That choice was to ignore the numerous attacks on Americans by Islamic radicals, a decision which served to embolden the jihadists behind 9/11. Like President Obama, Bill Clinton, distracted by endless scandals, led from behind."   Via Lucianne

So many Democrat posts we have to lump them into one link again

NY Times Magazine:  It’s Clinton Déjà Vu — New Hampshire Brings Snow and Rumors of Campaign Implosion  . . . " We’ve been here before. This is how it all rolls in the Clinton precincts of Blue America. The situation is so familiar to be its own Democratic Party cliché, like nominating unelectable liberals in the 1980s or engaging in nasty platform fights in the 1990s. Say this about the Clintons, for better or worse: They are predictable" . . .

Dick Morris: Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is falling apart. . . . "Clinton has no competing message, just the charge that Sanders’s supporters are “sexist and vulgar.” Brock adds that one of Sanders’s ads was racist because it had too many white people in it. 
"Their strategy is laughable. After losing 84 percent of young voters in Iowa — and failing to recover them in New Hampshire — they sent in two aging fossils of feminism to insult and threaten young women." . . .

RedState:

Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Demonstrates Its Contempt For America
"This isn’t news to anyone here. Hillary Clinton was at home serving in the Obama administration because she, like Obama, have an intense dislike of America and utter contempt for Americans who display any attachment to their home country. For them America is not hardworking men and women of every race and ethnicity who do their best to provide for their families and hold up their end of the bargain. For Hillary Clinton, America is a conglomeration of whiny, pissant special interest groups that can be played off against each other and who compete for government benefits and preferences.

The Biggest Winner from New Hampshire Was Hillary Clinton  . . . "Hillary Clinton’s unfavorability rating right now is at 52%, which is absolutely unprecedented for an expected nominee of one of the two major parties. There is no chance that someone with those kinds of ratings has any chance of winning in the general, if they are not an incumbent. The one and only exception to that rule would be if the nominee in question was running against someone who’s unfavorability rating of a whopping 60%, as Donald Trump is. There is absolutely no one Hillary wants to face more – including Ben Carson – than Donald Trump.


National Review Online
Clinton’s Crushing New Hampshire Defeat Leaves Supporters Struggling for Answers  . . . "Pageutte blames New Hampshire’s youth for Clinton’s disastrous loss, pointing to their single-minded obsession with free college education. But the exit polls paint a different picture.

Democrats Wake Up to How Bad a Liar Hillary Is . . . "The biggest liability Hillary Clinton faces in getting the Democratic nomination may be that too many of her fellow Democrats don’t believe she is a good liar.

Weekly Standard:  More Women Vote for Bernie Than Hillary, N.H. Exit Polls Show  "Sanders continues dominance among youth, too"

End of the Line for These Three Republicans?

NRO: How Long Should Christie, Fiorina, and Carson Stick Around?
. . . ""As the race goes on, primary voters tend to cluster around the front-runners. Comebacks are hard in presidential politics. "

RedState  "Sadly, it appears that New Hampshire may have muddied the GOP field, rather than clarifying it. Even though Kasich and Jeb do not have obvious paths forward to the nomination, they are going to convince themselves that they do, at least through Super Tuesday – and they will probably find donors who will indulge that belief. Somewhere, Donald Trump is smiling about it all.


"However, we can at the very least say “sayonara” to three Republicans who have absolutely no path forward after tonight, not even in their own heads. First of all is Ben Carson. After finishing a very distant fourth in Iowa, and dead last in New Hampshire, it is clear that Carson has absolutely no shot at the nomination. None. Zero. His polling is going into the toilet, he’s hemorrhaging the last of his legitimate campaign staff, and he’s in this for the sole reason of taking votes from Ted Cruz.
"The second is Carly Fiorina. Fiorina can’t make debate stages anymore, she can’t get traction in New Hampshire, she can’t even get on the media as a candidate. Fiorina might end up being a talented surrogate and maybe VP candidate for one of the candidates down the road, but the longer she stays in the race, the longer she takes votes from someone who might win, and thus diminishes her chances. I expect Fiorina will bow out soon.

I find it sad, having wanted to learn more of this dignified, articulate lady. If only we could replace Trump with her. TD
"The third is Chris Christie. Christie blew his entire wad on taking down Marco Rubio in the debate on Saturday night. I suspect Marco Rubio will bounce back, but Christie clearly made a dent for now. Unfortunately, Christie himself is an unlikable jackass, and whatever votes he pried away from Rubio went somewhere else as a consequence. . . . 
Is Chris Christie Dropping Out?

Goodbye Chris Christie And Good Riddance   . . . "I hope it was worth it. You had a chance to take on Donald Trump to the betterment of the party and the country and you didn’t. "

This Might Be Why Hillary Won’t Release Her Goldman Sachs Speech Transcripts

flickr
Daily Caller  "As Hillary Clinton resists calls to release transcripts from her paid Goldman Sachs speeches, details of those events are emerging, and they aren’t good for the Democratic presidential candidate.

“ 'It was pretty glowing about us,” one attendee at an Oct. 2013 Goldman Sachs event in Arizona told Politico about Clinton’s speech, which earned the former secretary of state $225,000. “It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”
“It would bury her against Sanders,” the attendee told Politico, referring to Clinton’s challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. “It really makes her look like an ally of the firm.”

Bernie Sanders to Huddle With Al Sharpton

The Daily Beast . . . "However, by meeting with Sharpton at Sylvia’s Restaurant—the very place then-Sen. Barack Obama sat down with the preacher in 2008—Sanders is sending a message to Clinton forces: Don’t sleep.

. . . "In July 2015, Sanders and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley were interrupted by BlackLivesMatter activists at they attempted to address a conference in Arizona. Sanders stormed off the stage and was later ridiculed on social media under the hashtag #BernieSoBlack. In the months since, the campaign has invested heavily in reopening a conversation with young activists and now believes Clinton is as vulnerable."

"An endorsement from Sharpton is not imminent. But he told The Daily Beast that candidates are mistaken if they believe they can sew up the nomination without reaching out to black voters of every age. That means connecting with young social justice activists across the country as well as civil rights leaders, he said." . . .

Don’t tell Bernie Sanders, but capitalism has made human life fantastically better. Here’s how

Political Cartoons by Glenn Foden

James Pethokoukis "Back in 1995, now-Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said, “I personally happen not to be a great believer in the free enterprise system for many reasons.”
"And having watched Sanders during this primary season, it doesn’t appear to me that the self-described democratic socialist has much changed his opinion of capitalism. Which is both amazing and appalling. The single greatest story of human achievement of the past 2,000 years is the dramatic rise in living standards of the past 200 years. It’s an astounding ascent — see above chart — driven by innovative, entrepreneurial capitalism. Free enterprise. Economic freedom.

"Yes, workers in advanced economies today are many multiples wealthier — almost incalculably so — than their counterparts in the early 19th century. But here is another way of looking at, thanks to a new study by consultancy Deloitte showing how technology-driving innovation has radically altered lives in Britain for the much better:" . . .

Hillary and Bernie links today

From Drudge:
Bill Clinton’s ‘Bimbos’ Flock to Team Trump   . . . "Jones . . .  is not the only one of Bill Clinton’s accusers to reemerge in this increasingly bizarre election.
“ 'I don’t want to see the Clintons back in the White House,” Kathleen Willey told The Daily Beast in a phone interview. Willey, who alleged that Clinton sexually assaulted her while she was a White House aide in 1993 . . .plans to give public speeches assailing Hillary for her alleged attempts to suppress her husband’s accusers." . . .
. . . “I think [Hillary Clinton] is absolutely a liar and I think she is absolutely not for women’s rights,” Broaddrick said." . . .

While Trump and Sanders smell victory, Hillary Clinton contemplates humilation  "Hillary Clinton is running on one issue: Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, very few Americans like Hillary Clinton."

Sanders' last night turns into hippie music festival
American Thinker:
What if Sanders supporters see a crooked Clinton?   . . . "Given the microscopic lead Clinton had in the Iowa caucus of 49.9% for Clinton and 49.6% for Sanders, any fraud could have cost Sanders a victory, for which his supporters had campaigned so hard.
"So all those voters who drove long hours in Iowa winter nights to hear Sanders speak might have been cheated by corrupt party hacks controlled by the Clinton machine." . . .

Bernie and Hillary Both Wrong About Evil Bankers   . . . "Hillary accuses Bernie of “innuendo.”
"But they both want you to believe that “greedy bankers” rather than stupid government policy cause the Crash of 2008. So we need Dodd-Frank to keep the bankers tame and obedient.

Lloyd Marcus: The Sanders/Clinton Rocky Horror Show: A Sneak Peek  . . . "I could go on and on with examples of how Democrats seek to destroy every principle, value, and institution that have made America great and that most Americans hold dear. Democrats hide their evil socialist/progressive intended transformation of America beneath a shroud of faux compassion. Everything coming out of the Democratic Party is either anti-God or anti-American." . . .

PJ Media: Shakeup at Camp Clinton   . . . "Such arrogance led directly to the idea that Clinton could simply project an air of inevitability and be assured her party’s nomination. If she wins—-as she very well might—-it will be in spite of her original approach.
This next line is sinfully delicious:
No one could have predicted Barack Obama’s sudden rise, though the Clinton campaign was slower to recognize it than most.
"Replace "Barack Obama" with "Bernie Sanders," and Joshua Green could almost refile his old piece as brand-new reporting." . . .

    . . . "Several fans hit out at Beyonce over the music video and advocated boycotting the Super Bowl, accusing her of spreading an anti-cop message which only serves to further divide communities.
    "Writing on the singer's Facebook page yesterday, Kristen Wickham said: 'As the wife of a police officer, I am offended by this entire video. Rise above and stay above the strife. 
    " 'For a girl who grew up in a privileged, wealthy family, she has no business pandering to those who didn't. She has no idea what struggle is.

    Hoary old Bill making liberals sweat

    Russ Vaughn  "Brit Hume, speaking on FOX News, noted that Bill Clinton is now an elderly man – a thought that I'll wager has been going through many American minds since last Monday night, when Hillary gave her post-caucus acceptance...er, victory speech in Iowa.  While much of the television audience was focused on the fuming candidate, many were mesmerized by an airhead Clinton voter in the crowd behind the podium.  The young man was upstaging madam secretary by trying to lick her campaign stickers off his cheeks.  But many, including me, were fixed on and fascinated by the former president standing behind his podium-pounding partner." . . .

    Despite misleading articles to the contrary, Michelle Obama did not institute a new rule that banned the U.S. Navy from serving fried foods.

    Snopes   "Claim: Michelle Obama instituted a new rule that prohibits the Navy from serving fried foods."

    Just read that Michelle Obama has taken food away from members of the military services. Is this true?
    "Origins:    On 12 July 2015 the Navy Times reported that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus had announced a new food initiative for that branch of the armed services which would be "the foundation of a healthy lifestyle." Among the changes reported by Mabus was a new menu for sailors that lacks fried foods such as breaded chicken and french fries, has more fruits and vegetables, and replaces whole milk with skim and soy:" . . .
    . . . 
    "In regards to the claim made above, although first Lady Michelle Obama has been a leading voice in promoting healthier eating to combat obesity, she was not mentioned in the Navy Times article or the "Go for Green" press release. Nonetheless, several people still took to Facebook to blame the First Lady for the announced changes to Navy food servings:" . . .
