No longer the American President, huh?

"Russia's Vladimir Putin was voted Most Interesting Man in Russia a month after Forbes named him the Most Powerful Man in the World. He cultivates a macho image. Last night Vladimir Putin struck and killed a deer and he said he feels awful about it, but when he's jogging he's in his own world."

American general: Dems are aiding and abetting the enemy

The Blaze  "Retired Army Major Gen. Paul E. Vallely didn’t mince words when describing the so-called torture report issued by partisan Senate Democrats: He said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and the Democrats who supported her efforts are aiding and abetting America’s enemies.

"It’s clear that the controversial report revived a nearly decade-old debate in an effort at political payback for the CIA and those in the Bush administration who executed the enhanced interrogation program.

"Critics of the Democrats’ report worry of reprisal against Americans abroad as a result of its biased conclusions. Indeed, nobody responsible for implementing the EIT program was interviewed for the report. Those same critics charge that Democrats had a preconceived conclusion and then built a case by cherry-picking information to justify that conclusion.

"As for me, this report confirms that Democrats prefer not to focus on those who attacked and continue to attack us.  Instead, Democrats choose to attack those who protect us."

How Obama spent New Year's

Weasel of the Week!


"Once again, It’s time to present this week’s statuette of shame, The Golden Weasel!!

"Every Tuesday, the Council nominates some of the slimiest, most despicable characters in public life for some deed of evil, cowardice or corruption they’ve performed. Then we vote to single out one particular Weasel for special mention, to whom we award the statuette of shame, our special, 100% plastic Golden Weasel. This week’s nominees were all despicable, but the votes are in and we have our winner…the envelope please…

‘Peaceful Protester’ Lefty Media Darling And Serial Arsonist Joshua Williams!!

"VA Right: I am going to nominate Joshua Williams who had become the poster boy for advocating peaceful protests in Ferguson, Mo and was caught torching a Berkeley convenience store last week. So much for peaceful protests.

"On Oct. 13, he was photographed walking arm-in-arm with author and activist Cornell West toward the St. Louis University campus where protesters staged a sit-in.

"Ah well…we all know by now that most of these protests are really just an excuse to act out. And nothing says social justice like looting, attacking people or setting someone else’s property on fire and destroying their livelihood, right? I mean, you care’s how much sweat and hard earned money someone put into that small business or the paychecks the people who worked there won’t be getting?

"Joshua Williams is down for the struggle, y’all. And definitely worthy of the Golden Weasel.

"Well, there it is."

Joshua Williams was the liberal-media darling of the Ferguson protests; now he’s an alleged arsonist.

David Duke Threatens to Expose Other Politicians

Scalise
First some background:  House GOP Leader Spoke to White Supremacists
"Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the No. 3 Republican in the House, addressed a group of white supremacists and neo-Nazis in 2002, the New York Times reports." ...

Political Wire
"David Duke told Fusion that it was unfair Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was “singled out” for speaking to Duke’white supremacist organization in May 2002, the New Orleans Times Picayune reports.
Duke said that “politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, have attended everything from conferences he’s organized to his children’s birthday parties. To say nothing of Republicans, Duke estimates that he has met with Democratic lawmakers a good 50 times. He threatened to release a list with names of Republicans and Democrats who’ve been tied to him in one way or another.”
Said Duke: “If Scalise is going to be crucified — if Republicans want to throw Steve Scalise to the woods, then a lot of them better be looking over their shoulders.' ”

There is no love in a beheading; is Islam capable of a Reformation?

 Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell
American Thinker "I do not understand what liberals mean when they say that not all Muslims are killers.  I understand that not all killers are Muslims. 

"But whether all Muslims are or are not  killers is irrelevant.  Studies vary, but one Pew report says that thirty-one percent of Muslims in America have murder or suicide bombing in their hearts.

"Consider that there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.  That means that if you reproduce the Pew results globally, approximately 480 million Muslims are potential killers.  That’s more than the total American population.
Consider that there are only 22 million Jews in the world.  And Jews don’t have the impulsion of the Koran leading them to murder for adultery, honor, or apostasy.  Thus, of the 22 million Jews, probably an infinitesimal number have killing in their hearts.

"If every Jew transformed into a murderer the Jews would have only about 20 percent of the potential Muslim killers.  So when a liberal says that the Muslims are not that bad and that we shouldn’t profile them, turn your head to the liberal’s profile and say, “You facilitate evil. ”

"It’s time the good Muslims cleaned house.  It’s time they swept the jihadists and terrorists into the well.

"It’s time the liberals stopped speaking up for them.  It’s time the misogynistic, self-punishing feminists quit supporting Muslim barbarity.

"It’s time we stopped applauding the revolt against traditional values and recognized that our supposedly outdated forefathers were actually right.

"It’s time Muslims reformed their religion.  Call it the Muslim Reformation.  The mosque has become corrupt like the Catholic Church before the Reformation.  

"A religion that promulgates violence has forfeited its right to be a religion.  There is no love in a beheading.  There is no spiritual beauty in an amputation."

Chipotle restaurant and police conflict

 
GOP; The Daily Dose    "Chipotle restaurants across the country were recently in the news for the horrific messages they printed on their take-out bags, but with this most recent stunt, they’ve gone entirely too far.

"When employees at a Chipotle restaurant in Brooklyn did this to two NYPD police officers, they not only disrespected the officers, but also our country.

"When the two police officers walked into the restaurant hoping to enjoy their lunch, they found the employees doing something unbelievably disrespectful." ....More at the link.
How one employee’s ‘hands up don’t shoot’ gesture locked Chipotle in a spiral of Internet outrage
..."The company also apologized: 
“[W]e work hard to be sure that all of our customers feel welcome in our restaurants and apologize if the actions of any of our employees suggested otherwise. When this happened roughly two weeks ago, we investigated and have taken appropriate measures to be sure this doesn’t happen again.
USA Today:... " While the post is no longer public, several patrons have expressed their outrage in the "reviews" section of Facebook, which received an influx of one-star reviews after the incident became public:" ...

Apparently the story has gotten worse in the retelling.

    LIBERALS: IF THE SHOE DOESN'T FIT, MAKE EVERYONE WEAR IT

     Political Cartoons by Dana Summers
    Ann Coulter  ... "Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's shooting of Michael Brown is today being used as grounds to demand all sorts of new rules for cops. Most people had a pretty good sense of the case after seeing surveillance camera shots of Brown assaulting the manager of a liquor store he was robbing about 10 minutes before his encounter with Officer Wilson. By the time the grand jury documents were released, there was no serious doubt that the shooting was justified.

    "But again, as a result of a hoax racial incident, Democrats are demanding race quotas for arrests. To hell with due process. If we can stop just one thing that never happened from ever happening again, it will have been worth it.

    "The only new rule we really need is one to stop these infernal liberal hoaxes."

     No grand jury would indict the poor, falsely accused KBR employee who foolishly had sex with Jones, so she filed a civil suit against that one man. The jury ruled for him, and the court ordered Jones to pay $145,000 in legal costs. Jamie Leigh Jones' place in the Crystal Magnum, Tawana Brawley Hall of Fame was thus secured.

    A small "conversation" about race that Eric Holder encouraged

    A National Conversation about the American Ghetto   ... "Media sensationalism this year about two black deaths at the hands of white policemen inflamed the argument, while the president of the United States, the attorney general of the United States, the mayor of New York, and race-hustling entrepreneurs from Al Sharpton on down to any brother in the street with a bullhorn jumped on the black-while-walking bandwagon.  

    "Here, however, is one standup law-enforcement professional, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., who begs to disagree." ...Read more:


     The outgrowth of pandering to race activists is this:  NY Police Tell Mayor De Blasio NOT to Attend Their Funerals After He Throws Them Under the Bus 

    Will Families of Slain NYPD Officers be Obama's Guests at the SOTU Address?   ... "After all, if the belief on the left is that “anti-government, pro-gun, xenophobic populism” contributed to the Tucson, Aurora, and Newtown tragedies, isn’t it then the president’s responsibility to acknowledge how expressions of sympathy for the Trayvon Martins and Michael Browns of the world might become an inspiration for Ismaayil Brinsley types to attack and kill cops?" ...

    Then, just as the president stressed the significance of saving one child’s life through gun control in a prior State of the Union, this year, Obama can announce new measures to protect the lives of the police officers currently threatened by the disgruntled black youths he and his cohort of race-baiters have so blatantly incited.
    Liberals' Use of Black People  ... "Whenever there has been a serious push for school choice, educational vouchers, tuition tax credits or even charter schools, the NEA has fought against it. One of the more callous examples of that disregard for black education was New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's cutback on funding for charter schools where black youngsters were succeeding in getting a better education. That was de Blasio's way of paying back New York's teachers union for the political support it gave him in his quest for the mayor's office." ...
    ... "When black Americans finally realize how much liberals have used them, I'm betting they will be the nation's most conservative people. Who else has been harmed as much by liberalism's vision and agenda?"

    Revisiting Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton ... "After Al Sharpton and several lawyers started to take charge of the publicity on the case, that’s when her charges got a great deal more specific and became a national scandal:
    Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason generated a national media sensation. The three claimed officials all the way up to the state government were trying to cover up defendants in the case because they were white. Specifically, they named Steven Pagones, an Assistant District Attorney in Dutchess County, as one of the rapists, and called him a racist, among other accusations.
    ... "Pagones has said he’d forgive the debt if Brawley admits she lied. But she sticks to her story, as does Maddox (Mason, now a minister, has been quiet). Sharpton? Well, we know about Sharpton, who has gone on to greater fame and White House visits, as well as provoking a number of murders."

    Public Trust in Media at an All-Time Low

    Candy Crowley would be the poster girl if there were not so many other incidents to choose from:



    Peter Wehner    "According to the most recent Gallup survey:
    Americans’ confidence in the media’s ability to report “the news fully, accurately, and fairly” has returned to its previous all-time low of 40%. Americans’ trust in mass media has generally been edging downward from higher levels in the late 1990s and the early 2000s.
    "A few data points worth noting:
    • In the last 15 years, the percentage of Americans expressing a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the media was 55 percent. The drop in trust in the media has been trending downward since then — and is now 15 points below what it was in 1999.
    • Trust among Democrats, who have traditionally expressed much higher levels of confidence in the media than Republicans have, dropped to a 14-year low of 54 percent in 2014.
    • Republicans’ trust in the media is at 27 percent, one percentage point above their all-time low, while independents held steady at 38 percent — up one point from 37 percent in 2013.
    • Democrats — with a majority of 52 percent — are most likely to think the media are just about right, while a mere 18 percent of Republicans feel this way about the news. More than seven in 10 Republicans say the media are too liberal.
    • Americans are most likely to feel the news media are “too liberal” (44 percent) rather than “too conservative,” though this perceived liberal bias is now on the lower side of the trend. One in three (34 percent) say the media are “just about right” in terms of their coverage — down slightly from 37 percent last year.
    • Nearly one in five Americans (19 percent) say the media are too conservative, which is still relatively low, but the highest such percentage since 2006. This is up six points from 2013 — the sharpest increase in the percentage of Americans who feel the news skews too far right since Gallup began asking the question in 2001.
