Louisiana asks, Where is Obama now?

BIAS ALERT: Media that ripped Bush on Katrina ignores Obama on La. flooding  

"Mainstream media condemned Bush’s alleged lack of compassion, immediately predicting it would destroy his entire legacy. A USA Today article written at the time summarized it this way:“ 'President Bush has shown that he can be empathetic, sensitive and decisive. But those qualities eluded him for days after Hurricane Katrina, and the lapse could become a defining moment of his White House tenure,” the analysis said."The Washington Post would later go on to brand Bush’s response the second worst moment of his entire presidency.

Flashback: Obama ripped Bush's 'unconscionable ineptitude' during Hurricane Katrina  "Obama, who had just returned from New Orleans, preached on the Senate floor about Bush's poor reaction to similar cries for help during Katrina."

George W. Bush never recovered politically from Katrina

Our Views: Vacation or not, a hurting Louisiana needs you now, President Obama

Obama unlikely to halt vacation to visit flooded Louisiana  "Obama has issued no public or written statements about the flooding. The White House said he has been receiving regular updates and briefings on the situation throughout the vacation, including from Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards. Obama also approved a federal disaster declaration for affected areas of the state."

While Obama Vacations, Taylor Swift Donates $1 Million To Flood-Ravaged Louisiana  . . . "President Obama is currently vacationing on Martha's Vineyard, and aside from signing a disaster declaration five days ago, has otherwise not commented on the situation. (He did, however, have time to go to a Hillary Clinton fundraiser.)

"Compare this to pop star Taylor Swift. Swift, who began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana last year, said that she appreciated her fans in Louisiana and was heartbroken by the devastation in the state. She then pledged to donate $1 million in relief money and encouraged others to "help out and send [their] love and prayers.' "

The Great Regression

Victor Davis Hanson . . . "If a junior faculty member were to write a paper on the racialist undertones of Black Lives Matter, the lack of factual evidence for a campus rape epidemic, or the connection between radical Islam and terrorism, he would likely have to struggle for tenure.

. . . "Free-speech activists, homosexual-rights advocates, feminists, and democracy reformers all privately accept that they are as free to attack the fundamentalism of the Christian Right as they are in real danger — both to their persons and to their careers — should they question Koranic support for widespread current Muslim discrimination against women, gays, and religious reformers. Political correctness has become synonymous with either cowardice or careerism — or both. We damn “Islamophobia” to win social brownie points, but we tune out when there is mention of honor killings or female circumcision. Cheap silence is always preferable to principled but risky dissent." . . .

Does Black Success Matter?

Thomas Sowell

"We keep hearing that "black lives matter," but they seem to matter only when that helps politicians to get votes, or when that slogan helps demagogues demonize the police. The other 99 percent of black lives destroyed by people who are not police do not seem to attract nearly as much attention in the media. 

"What about black success? Does that matter? Apparently not so much. 

"We have heard a lot about black students failing to meet academic standards. So you might think that it would be front­page news when some whole ghetto schools not only meet, but exceed, the academic standards of schools in more upscale communities. There are in fact whole chains of charter schools where black and Hispanic youngsters score well above the national average on tests. There are the KIPP (Knowledge IS Power Program) schools and the Success Academy schools, for example. " . . .

"That Trump knows he's gonna lose. All Trump is doing is setting up a future media empire to take on Fox News and CNN."

Althouse  " 'This is the CNN theory. That when Trump loses the election, he's gonna have Steve Bannon and Ailes and they're gonna set up this brand-new news network to take everybody else out. They're gonna swamp Fox News. They're gonna swamp CNN. That's the CNN theory. I know some of the players here. I've not heard a word of that. I can't do thumbs up or thumbs down on it. I have no idea whether any of that has any truth to it, if there's any validity. I do know that CNN's off the rails on this. They're acting paranoid and they've got their conspiratorial hats on and they're dreaming and imagines things."

"Said Rush Limbaugh on his show today. I'm trying to think about what's so paranoid about that theory. It makes a hell of a lot of sense to me. 

"Here's an article in RedState, "Looking Ahead: Trump, Ailes, Bannon And Hannity – News Network On The Horizon?":" . . .

There’s a reason Breitbart News went from hard-charging news outlet to drooling Trump mouthpiece. Bannon emerges from all of this unscathed. ... If Trump wins, he’s in a position of high power; if Trump loses, Bannon could head up a new media empire with Trump’s support and the involvement of new Trump supporter and ousted former Fox News head Roger Ailes.

Soros: funding violence against law enforcement

What This Group Has to Do With the Evil George Soros

"Guess what leftist billionaire George Soros’ non-profit network, the Open Society Foundations (OSF), aka Open Borders Foundation, supported — that’s right — the Gang of Eight amnesty bill.

"Now, why would the network support that?

"That is known as a result of 2,500 documents hacked from OSF and released over the weekend by DC Leaks.

"The Soros group invested $7.7 million, not pocket change." . . .

How The Media Work

Ann Coulter  From Ann Coulter, about ten years ago:

"Oh yeah. I wouldn't insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. Now, that would be mean. But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

American Silliness: Aug 17, 2016

Serial arsonist behind California wildfires caught as Gore blames ‘global warming’
"Serial arsonist behind California wildfires caught as alarmists blame global warming – The serial arsonist who started most of the California wildfires has finally been arrested – yet alarmists still blame climate change for the fires" . . .
. . . "The California wildfires still raging out of control are the work of a serial arsonist and not the result of global warming. Yesterday, officials arrested the dangerous firebug accused of setting 17 of California’s wildfires as firefighters battle the still-raging firestorms across the state. Previously, global warming alarmists said the wildfires were a result of the long-running California drought that has left a lot of dry tinder on the ground. Numerous studies have shown the California drought is entirely natural and part of a regular cyclic pattern for the state." . . .

Illegal Immigrant Tapped for Clinton ‘Dreamer’ Campaign Tied to Soros-Funded Voter Effort

Clinton and Soros-backed campaigns have similar goals

"An illegal immigrant who was tapped by the Hillary Clinton campaign for a new effort to register Latino voters is tied to a multi-million dollar voter registration effort funded by George Soros.

"The Clinton campaign announced the “Mi Sueño, Tu Voto”—or “My Dream, Your Vote”—program on Sunday. The program uses stories about illegal immigrant children who are prohibited from voting to inspire Latino voters to register and vote against Donald Trump and Republicans, the Associated Press reported.

"Astrid Silva, the 28-year-old illegal immigrant who railed against Donald Trump during a prime-time speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention, was featured in the Clinton campaign’s press release announcing the new “Dreamer” effort.

"Silva said in the press release that while young illegal immigrants may not have the right to vote, the new effort will “help ensure that our stories are heard and it will send a clear signal to Donald Trump that we cannot be silenced.' ” . . .

. . . "Believing with all his heart that "when the going gets tough, the tough go golfing," the president has not missed a stroke to evince any particular interest in the violent race riots in Milwaukee, nor the human suffering of the victims of catastrophic flooding in Louisiana.

"Of course, the White House is quick to report that the president is being kept "fully informed" of every tragic, heart-rending development...except when he's lining up a drive. Or if he's putting. Or shmoozing with his wealthy buddies. Or driving Golf Cart One wildly around the course, making siren sounds, while sucking down lungfuls of the primo bud that he had Malia buy for him.

So how did the Clintons get so rich?

WND

"It’s a claim that has been widely mocked – Hillary Clinton’s famous statement she and Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2001.

"But there is a grain of truth behind it, according to New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi.

"He reveals some of the numbers in his new book “Partners in Crime: The Clintons’ Scheme to Monetize the White House for Personal Profit.”

"Three years before leaving office, Bill Clinton had to pay $850,000 to settle the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. Just as he was leaving office he paid a $25,000 fine to the Arkansas Bar Association in lieu of disbarment for having lied under oath about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

"The Associated Press reported the Clintons faced legal bills as high as $10.6 million incurred defending themselves in the Whitewater scandal and the Lewinsky affair. This figure did not include legal expenses associated with the Kathleen Willey and Gennifer Flowers cases.

“So they had a huge amount of legal bills when they left the White House, and leaving the White House, I point out, the Clintons even stole the furniture, they stole the silverware,” Corsi, a WND senior staff writer, said during a recent interview on Stand for Truth Radio with Susan Knowles. “They had to return hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of government property that they lifted when they left the White House in classic grifter fashion.”

"And yet, a few years after leaving the White House, each Clinton ended up with a net worth of at least $100 million."

Gay CNN Anchor Posts GOOFY Tweet About Sharia Law – Twitterverse PROMPTLY Kicks Her A**

Clash Daily  "Well, THAT didn’t take long to backfire, did it?

"CNN positively DRIPS with smug self-satisfaction. They can’t help it. It’s baked right in to who they are.

"Which makes it so delicious when they get such a THOROUGH beat-down for saying the indefensible. What’s the matter, Sally? Did you forget that Sharia doesn’t exactly like Lesbians?

"Looks like Twitter showed up to set you straight.  Enjoy!"

Read the responses Kohn gets regarding her remark.  Lord, please save us from liberals such as this.

Here are some “progressive” Muslims in Mosul last week throwing a man off a building for being gay (just like Sally):

Muslim fencer who made history as first US Olympian to win medal while wearing a hijab says 'regardless of faith... we can achieve our dreams' in the 'America that is inclusive'

UK Daily Mail   "Muhammad told CNN that her entire experience has been 'beautiful' and that the America she knows and loves is 'the America that is inclusive, that is accepting and encompasses people from all walks of life'.

"The 30-year-old went on to make even more history as the first woman to win a medal wearing the hijab when her team took home the bronze."

. . . 

" 'We're showing minority youth out there, we're showing Americans that this is one of the beautiful things about our country.'

"She also said that she looked up to Venus and Serena Williams as a child saying that she loved 'that they never changed who they were'  and 'forced us as viewers, us as society to accept who they were'.

"The bronze medalist said she loves that in sports it only matters how talented you are and that race, gender or religion doesn't."
