Baltimore Is a Job For Super-President — Where Is He?

 

 Investors.com  ... "Leadership: Riots rage 40 miles from the White House, in a city 15 minutes away on Marine One. The one thing that President Obama is good at is speaking to a crowd. So where has he been?

"You don't lead from the Rose Garden. Jimmy Carter painfully discovered that when he chose to make himself a fellow Iran hostage, locking himself in the White House as 52 Americans suffered for 444 days.

"Ronald Reagan proved it when he stood before the Brandenburg Gate and demanded, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" It wouldn't have worked too well saying it 4,000 miles away in the East Room.

"Consider how much traveling this president does. Last month, Judicial Watch announced its findings that the first family's annual Hawaiian Christmas trips over the past three years have cost taxpayers $15.5 million just for the travel costs.

"But a visit to burning Baltimore is apparently too much to ask.". . .

Former Al Jazeera employee sues network, alleging anti-Semitism, anti-Americanism

http://comicallyincorrect.com/

WaPo  "A former employee of Al Jazeera America has filed suit against the network for workplace retaliation, leveling a number of allegations that a manager engaged in discriminatory conduct toward women and made offensive remarks about Israel and the United States.

"Matthew Luke started at Al Jazeera America in 2013 in New York City, prior to the network’s U.S. launch, and served initially as its supervisor of media and archive management. In his early days on the job, notes the complaint, Luke was a happy employee, working closely with Jeff Polikoff, who now holds the title of acting executive vice president of operations & technology. “Luke worked diligently to assist AJAM to prepare for the launch of its U.S. news network in August of 2013, and, along with the team that he managed, was instrumental in making that launch a logistical suc[c]ess,” notes the lawsuit.

"A couple of months after the launch, AJAM hired Osman Mahmud as a news editor, the complaint states. Over time, Mahmud would rise through the ranks, ultimately securing the title of senior vice president of broadcast operations & technology — a position in which he supervised Luke. The complaint levels a whole sheath of claims in the direction of Mahmud:" . . .

Democrat chickens coming home to roost in Baltimore?

 Hillary joins Obama chorus in deflecting blame for city's woes

WND
 

"President Obama and several key Democrats have taken to national media in recent hours to assign fault in any direction but their own for the recent violent uprisings and protests in Baltimore.

"Obama, in his first public statement on the days-long unrest that began after Freddie Gray died due to injuries suffered during police custody, slammed the city’s thuggery – but also Congress for blocking his agenda.

“ 'I’m under no illusion that under this Congress we’re going to get massive investments in urban communities,” he said, speaking of the Republican-dominated House and Senate, various media reported.

"Obama also roped in police to the blame game, subtly criticizing their perceived shortcomings during a Tuesday joint press conference with Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, in the Rose Garden."  . . .

In “Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America,” Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson – a true black leader whom many affectionately call “the other Jesse” – shows how the civil rights establishment has made a lucrative career out of keeping racial strife alive in America.


 The Left Defends Riots, Looting, Arson in Baltimore
" Even as the riots in Baltimore Monday night left a string of injured bodies and burned businesses, voices on the left were out in public defending the chaos."

 Maxine Waters: Tea Parties Bad, Riots Good   . . . "The Breitbart video very effectively makes the case that Waters is guilty of hypocrisy. Her behavior at the rally is at least as unattractive as her description of the tea partiers’ conduct. On the other hand, so what? When has a politician ever complained about the other side’s incivility without being guilty of hypocrisy?

 "But a look further back into Waters’s history reveals her hypocrisy to be far worse than is typical. The last time America experienced political mob violence–the Los Angeles riots of 1992–Waters was there offering excuses and justifications." . . .

Just Another Race Riot

Warning Signs . . . "So, as Baltimore cleans up the mess left behind by the latest riot, be assured that another is right around the corner somewhere. There is a core of law-breakers and angry blacks for whom virtually anything is excuse enough for a riot.

"We had to pass through a Civil War to resolve the race-based ills of that era. Americans elected the first black American as President in 2008, but his race has not reduced riots during his time in office." . . . Alan Caruba   Photos added by TD

Lloyd Marcus: Another Thrilling Episode of Blacks Behaving Badly

Lloyd Marcus

http://www.investors.com/editorial-cartoons/michael-ramirez/750058

. . . "I thought, I have seen this stupid evil horror movie before (Ferguson) and I “ain't gonna” watch it again.

"The media is reporting that some black leaders are calling for peace. Well, I am sorry, but that is too little too late. How do you expect black youths to react to the Left's orchestrated campaign to convince them that white Republicans and conservatives are racist and out to get them, that white cops murder them at will, that the rich got rich stealing from them, and that business owners are selfish and evil?

"These lies have been sold to black youths by the highest black voices in the country -- Obama, Oprah, Sharpton, Holder, Jackson, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, and assorted other race exploiting scumbags. …if I sound angry, it is because I am." . . .

Where Do Old Bumper Cars Go?

Hat tip to Gail Downie; Nehalem, OR. for this great article.
 

Futurity Arts West
" Remember driving the bumper cars at the Fun Zone, amusement parks, or a fair don't you? They were so much fun! Well, now what do you do with old bumper cars? (Check out the license plates!)"

...

"Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal.

"They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines, and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we've seen in a long time. There are seven of these little monsters floating around California, and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego, who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.

"They were originally powered by two cylinder Harley-Davidson motorcycle engines, but they rattled because of the two cylinder vibration, and Tom replaced them with four cylinder Honda or Kawasaki 750's. A couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH, which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase. By the way, they are almost indestructible in accidents!"  More photos here.

If Only President Obama Weren’t Black (Got your attention, didn't we?)

RedState

 “If only President Obama weren’t black, maybe he would realize that people don’t dislike him because he is black, they dislike him because he is a self-absorbed ass.”

. . . " But there was a President of the United States willing to make jokes about the “F-word” and an Imperial Court to worship him.

"Byron York notes that much of President Obama’s speech to the White House Correspondents Dinner centered around “black anger.” In other words, President Obama let loose over the weekend that he has concluded all the opposition to him is because he is black.

"It must be comfortable and convenient for President Obama to assume the opposition to him is because of his race. He can negotiate a bad deal with Iran and conclude the public hates it because he is black. He can tell people they can keep their doctors then take their doctors away from them and console himself that the anger of the public is just racist. He can see a solid position in Iraq and Afghanistan squandered as ISIS overruns us and, when people point it out, conclude it’s just because of his skin color. People can drop out of the workforce because they can’t find jobs and when their stomachs rumble and their mouths grumble, President Obama can look himself in the mirror and think it’d all be different if he were not a black man.
"If only President Obama weren’t black, maybe he would realize that people don’t dislike him because he is black, they dislike him because he is a self-absorbed ass." . . .

Emphasis mine, TD

As another US city burns with rage, is Obama going to be the President who did less for black Americans than a white one did?. . . "Barack Obama was elected President on a tidal wave of hope, optimism and genuine belief from tens of millions of African-Americans that he would finally get them true justice and equality.

"What’s the point being the first black president if you CAN’T do that?

"But he’s failed.

"Many black Americans feel even more marginalized than they did before he came to power. They feel even less ‘equal’, even more exposed to injustice. Most are just as poor and badly educated as they were before Obama got to the White House.

. . .

 

"The President needs to do more than just utter yet more platitudes from the Oval Office.

He should be down in Baltimore today, talking directly to the people who feel he has betrayed them.

"HIS people, with HIS skin colour, who voted for HIM because they thought HE would change the system.

"Less talk, more action, Mr President.

"Or you will go down in history as the guy who did less for blacks in America than Lyndon Johnson – a white man."

Alan Caruba Predicts Israel Will Attack Iran Soon

Warning Signs

 

Netanyahu told Congress this year: "Once Iran produces atomic bombs, all the charm and all the smiles will suddenly disappear. They’ll just vanish. It’s then that the ayatollahs will show their true face and unleash their aggressive fanaticism on the entire world.” He offered a comparable message to a joint meeting of Congress in March of this year.

"Is anyone listening? Not President Obama. On April 25, writing in The Wall Street Journal, Mortimer Zuckerman, the chairman and editor in chief of the U.S. News and World Report, said “President Obama has been chasing a rainbow in his negotiations with Iran. He has forsaken decades of pledges to the civilized world from presidents of both parties. He has misled the American people in repeatedly affirming that the U.S. would never allow revolutionary Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.”

It’s bad enough when you can’t trust your nation’s enemies, but when you cannot trust your own President you have a very big problem because Iran is not just a threat to America and Israel, but to the entire world." . . .

Surprise Attack on Iran: Can Israel Do It?  " According to a report in March by the Israeli daily Haaretz, Israel continues to prepare for a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Quoting anonymous members of the Knesset who were present during hearings on the military budget, officials in the Israel Defense Force (IDF) have allegedly received instructions to continue preparing for a strike and a special budget has been allocating for that purpose." . . .

Iran says powerful air defense system to be ready in 2015  ..."The Russian version of the missile shield can trace around 100 flying targets simultaneously and destroy a number of them, while the Iranian adaptation is said to possess a higher targeting capability, among a number of optimized features.

"Iran has also upgraded the S-200 missile defense system, improving its mobility and a narrower ready-for-operation time."

Kristallnacht in America

Kristallnacht – The Night of Broken Glass 

 

 ... “ 'What happened in Germany was a consequence of racism, hate, and prejudice. Every new generation must be aware that the cancer of hate and prejudice is also with us today. There is no way anyone can walk away from messages that contain racism, prejudice, and name-calling. You must always stand up against racism and prejudice, even if you are not being directly persecuted.”
-Survivor of the Holocaust, Werner Coppel, now living in Cincinnati, OH   

And what led to this frightful, violent night? This: 
. . . "Initially denied entry into their native Poland, Grynszpan's parents and the other expelled Polish Jews found themselves stranded in a refugee camp near the town of Zbaszyn in the border region between Poland and Germany. Already living illegally in Paris himself, a desperate Grynszpan apparently sought revenge for his family's precarious circumstances by appearing at the German embassy and shooting the diplomatic official assigned to assist him.
. . . "The Nazi Party leadership, assembled in Munich for the commemoration, chose to use the occasion as a pretext to launch a night of antisemitic excesses. Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, a chief instigator of the pogrom, intimated to the convened Nazi 'Old Guard' that 'World Jewry' had conspired to commit the assassination and announced that, "the Führer has decided that … demonstrations should not be prepared or organized by the Party, but insofar as they erupt spontaneously, they are not to be hampered."

"It was vom Rath’s murder which sparked the “spontaneous” outburst of violence against the Jews, or so the Nazis said. .  .  The Nazis’ actions in 1938, however, suggest that they were preparing their most ruthless anti-Jewish operation yet - and vom Rath’s assassination was a convenient catalyst for such a strike." . . .

Baltimore Mayor gives rioters 'space to destroy'
. . . " in effect, that the rioters had permission to have at it. They did so with a will in a day long orgy of looting, burning, and mayhem that made the city resemble a war zone that local police seemed helpless and unwilling to prevent."

And loot they did:

Will Hillary Use the "Two for the Price of One" Argument in Her Campaign?

http://terrellaftermath.com/

Voice of Lillpop ..."Back in 1991, when Bill Clinton was trying to unseat George H. Bush for the US Presidency, Clinton pitched the intelligence and managerial experience of his spouse, Hillary Rodham, as a benefit that would accrue to America in the event he was elected.

“ 'Two for the price of one,” was how Bill Clinton phrased it, referring to Hillary’s strengths, but, oddly enough, nary a word about her defects, which, we have learned over the past 24 years, are numerous and grave.

"Very grave!

"Now that Hillary is a declared candidate for the presidency on her own, it’s worth remembering that she brings one hell of a lot of “baggage” with her.

"In addition to her well-deserved reputation as a ruthless, congenital liar willing to do anything to secure power and wealth, Hillary remains manacled to Slick Willie, the sex-addicted perjurer who defiled the presidency with unspeakable acts of sexual harassment against unwary(and some not so unwary) females who traversed the halls of the White House, or who were lured into that infamous little back room off the Oval Office.

"Slick Willie’s extra-marital sexual proclivities were particularly robust when president # 2, Hillary, was away.

"Because Slick Willie lied under oath in federal court, he was impeached by the House of Representatives, but because of gutless, immoral Democrats in the Senate, was not removed from office. Clinton was, however, disbarred from the US Supreme Court.

"Given Bill Clinton’s sordid history, the “Two for the Price of One” argument he used in 1991 should be turned around and used against Hillary in 2016!

"The theme “Addition by Subtraction” would apply in this case, meaning that by not voting for Hillary, the Slick Willie  burden would be removed, and the American people would be adding to the integrity and purity of the Democratic electoral process."

The Fall of the House of Clinton

 A Colorado Springs man was cited for shooting his malfunctioning computer on Thursday. The guy unplugged the computer, took it outside, and fired eight bullets into it, destroying the screen, the keyboard and the hard drive. Today he's the communications director for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Comedian Argus Hamilton

 Also known as "there is no evidence"....

Victor Davis Hanson  (Cartoons added by TD)   "Hillary Clinton will probably survive her latest ethical disaster. James Carville — of “if you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find” fame — is back again to pronounce the Clinton Foundation scandal as “diddly-squat.”  He may be right in the political sense. After all, we know the standard Clinton rescue plan from the past: her aging point-men like Carville, Lanny Davis, and Paul Begala flood the airways, yelling “prove it!” at their television hosts and declaring:

1. That the accusations are “old news.”
2. That the accusers are funded by right-wing conspiracists.
3. That everyone does what the Clintons did.
4. That the media pick on the Clintons.
5. That there is no hard evidence (because they have destroyed documents) that would ever lead to a criminal case. And:
6. That they are moving on, to work on behalf of the folks.

"Such obfuscation worked well with Troopergate, Travelgate, Whitewater, the cattle futures scam, Monicagate, the pardons, and  Bill's serial and sometimes coercive sexual conquests.
The scorched-earth protocol has already largely dispensed with the “what difference does it make” and “we came, we saw, he died” Libya/Benghazi scandals. That the ex-president of the United States often flew on a private jet with  registered sex-offender Jeffrey Epstein, known for supplying underage women to his guests, is, as the Clintons say, “old news.” Hillary Clinton’s serial lies about her email accounts and the Clinton Foundation shakedowns will likewise fade — despite the national-security implications of both transgressions for the United States.

"So by “Fall of the House of Clinton” I don’t suggest that a special prosecutor will be appointed to indict Hillary and Bill for crimes that would likely make the accusations that were once leveled against Sen. Robert Menendez, Gov. Bob McDonnell, Scooter Libby, Conrad Black or Dinesh D’Souza look like child’s play in comparison." . . .

Proof Hillary isn't fit to be president   "It became well-known during the Clinton years that while the president was a "certified" sleaze ball, the most evil partner of this Bonnie-and-Clyde duo was Hillary. She came to be seen as the "consigliore" of the couple, the one who had executed (pun intended) their dastardly plans and deeds."  . . .
