Jay Leno Slams Obama’s Feckless Syria Policy

-By Warner Todd Huston

Jay Leno has been hitting Obama more and more as he winds down his hosting of NBC’s The Tonight Show, and on the day Obama delivered his speech on Syria, Leno smacked the President on that very issue.

Leno let loose a cascade of jokes showing how foolish and feckless Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and the suddenly invisible VP Joe Biden has been on Syria, even working in a new “birther” joke into the mix.

Leno began by turning a remark on the weather into a slam on Obama’s Syria policy. “You can tell fall is coming to the east,” Leno said. “The leaves are changing faster than the White House position on Syria. It’s unbelievable.”

Then Leno slammed Secretary of State John Kerry joking that he “has given Syria one week to hand over its chemical weapons. And if they don’t, he’ll give them another week. So that’s kind of where we are right now.”

Leno wrapped up his series of Syria jokes with two more saying that one good thing has come out of Syria: Joe Biden has stopped talking. And then said that foreign countries are not so happy with Obama these days. In fact…

“President Obama’s foreign policy is taking a beating, especially abroad,” Leno jabbed. “They’re not as excited about him as they used to be. In fact, people in Kenya are saying, ‘We’re positive he wasn’t born here.”

It is interesting to see Jay Leno slamming the President more every night, isn’t it?

Why is Obama Ignoring the Beheading, Rape, Murder, and Oppression of Syria’s Christians & Alawites?

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Sept. 10, President Obama delivered his speech to the nation on his thoughts on the Syria problem. His speech was contradictory, confused, and, well here is a “shorter Obama” version of what he said: “We’ll strike, but we won’t, our threats are enough, but they aren’t, our strike will be small but big and powerful, IT’S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!”

Of course, President Obama is all upset that the Syria rebels–many of whom are al Qaeda terrorists–are being attacked by Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, and he’s touted his famed “red line” that will cause him to consider US military intervention in the civil war. But Obama and his crew have not mentioned one thing about any “red line” for the beheadings, rapes, murders and oppressions of Syria’s minority Christians by the very rebels he claims to want to support.

Who would have thought that 11 years after the attacks on 9/11 our own president would be supporting al Qaeda?

The Modern Tokyo Times has a very revealing article revealing how Syria’s Christians–who were living in the region before Islam was invented–are systematically ignored by President Obama and his administration even as these believers are increasingly being murdered by the very people Obama is supporting.

Washington Post Slams Obama for wanting to ‘Trap Poor, Black Children’ in Bad Schools

-By Warner Todd Huston

The President’s Department of Justice is taking the State of Louisiana to court over its school voucher program and the lawsuit is such a bad idea that even the left-wing Washington Post is criticizing the administration for the slight, saying that AG Holder wants to “trap poor, black children in ineffective schools.”

The Post begins its editorial board September 1 piece pointing out that “nine of 10 Louisiana children who receive vouchers to attend private schools are black. All are poor and, if not for the state assistance, would be consigned to low-performing or failing schools with little chance of learning the skills they will need to succeed as adults.”

But what the editorial board says in its next sentences is shocking for a paper that generally supports the left.

“So it’s bewildering, if not downright perverse,” the paper says, “for the Obama administration to use the banner of civil rights to bring a misguided suit that would block these disadvantaged students from getting the better educational opportunities they are due.”

VIDEO: Obama’s Jobpocalypse, the New Normal?

Last week’s jobs report indicated more of the same for the American people with the economy continuing on a sluggish path. While the unemployment rate dropped to 7.3%, it dropped for all the wrong reasons with the labor force participation rate dropping to its lowest level since 1978. To make matters worse, we also learned that the President’s economy added fewer jobs in July than previously thought.

Hollywood Anti-War Left Fears It’s Racist to Oppose Obama’s Syrian War

-By Warner Todd Huston

Actor Ed Asner has explained why the anti-war Hollywood left is absent from the fight against Obama’s war in Syria. Hollywood is more afraid of looking like racists than interested in standing up for their supposed principles against killing people.

Asner made the accusation in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter though he also fell back on Bush-was-worse claims.

Asner is opposed to any military intervention in Syria and said that it could be considered a “war crime” if Obama were to initiate any such action, but he also had an interesting explanation on why there is no organized anti-Syria war movement in Hollywood.

“A lot of people don’t want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama,” Asner said.

Syrian Intervention

-By Chuck Busch

The United States should not take unilateral hostile action in Syria as we, as a nation, have nothing to prove and certainly nothing to gain in executing limited and thereby ineffective, strikes against the Bashar al-Assad regime. Furthermore, we cannot predict what the regional consequences will be and are completely unclear as to what a Syria after Assad would even look like. Though it is certain that the United States is the leader of the free world, it is also painfully obvious, that under this current administration, our country lacks the military, moral and economic capacity to influence significantly events in the Middle East toward the betterment of America’s interests.

It is also fundamentally clear that the will of people does not support another haphazard amateurish venture into the tribal and religious morass that constitutes the geopolitical swamp of that whole region. Polling indicates that the majority believes the US cannot always be the world’s policeman, especially at this particular point in our history. Even President Obama, concluded today that he is not solely responsible for holding Assad accountable, that is, “drawing a red line”, but rather the world community has established the standard that chemical weapons can never be used.

Congresswoman Pelosi Turns to Five-Year-Old Grandson For War Advice?

-By Warner Todd Huston

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) has apparently turned to a very reliable confidante to inform her on whether or not to vote to join Barack Obama’s newest war. She asked her five-year-old grandson

No, seriously. She admitted it on national TV (as seen above).

Before she jetted off from Washington DC to her home in San Francisco she took a few moments out of her very important life to tell reporters that her little grandson told her all about what a war in Syria would mean.

Yes, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives is basing her ideas on what we should do in war, getting ready to determine what our government will do with our men and women at arms, determining what our vital U.S. interests are, all based on the burbling of a five-year-old.

Well, I guess a five-year-old can’t be any more stupid and uninformed than Congress at this point, eh?

Media Failure: All Know Trayvon Martin, But College Students Never Heard of the Christopher Lane Murder

-By Warner Todd Huston

This video is very, very telling. Campus Reform went to a college campus and asked if students felt that the shooting of Trayvon Martin got all the media attention it deserved. But when Campus Reform asked the same kids about the race-driven murder of Christopher Lane, the white Australian baseball player, not a one of them had ever heard of the case.

Very telling, indeed.

Obama’s Department of Defense Calls Founding Fathers ‘Extremists’

President Obama’s Department of Defense has issued a “teaching” guide that calls our founding fathers “extremists” and advises students that today’s radicals don’t “put on sheets” but will talk of “individual liberties” reports have found.

So, according to Obama’s administration, anyone that talks about freedom and the individual liberties are latent racists–or are somehow hiding their racism–and our founders were radical extremists!

This so-called teaching guide was discovered by Judicial Watch among materials authored by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, a DoD-funded diversity training center.

Shocking Report: NSA Even Spied on Their Own Loved Ones, Girlfriends, Neighbors

-By Warner Todd Huston

New reports have emerged showing that employees of the National Security Agency have misused their power to spy on American’s communication by keeping tabs on their own girlfriends, boyfriends, family members and neighbors, snooping into what they were doing in their daily lives.

The practice was so blatant that NSA employees had even coined a term for this type of spying: “Love-int.” This stands for “love intelligence,” as in information on loved ones.

It was recently disclosed that the NSA had broken privacy rules on nearly 3,000 occasions over just a one-year period, so imagine how many times they’ve abused their powers over the 10 years they’ve been building these capabilities!

There can be no better example than this of the old axiom, “absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Obama EPA Official Stole $886K of Tax $$ From Agency

-By Warner Todd Huston

As Obama and the Democrats act wide-eyed over claims that there is billions in waste and fraud in the federal budget we have yet another story of it, this time with an employee of the Environmental Protection Agency stealing $886,000 in tax dollars from the EPA.

The alleged theft occurred in the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation between the year 2000 and 2013. Accused is EPA employee John Beale.

Beale obtained the money by fraudulently claiming benefits, salary, and bonuses as well as compensation for special projects for which he “had not earned by providing employment services to the EPA.”

Republican Senator David Vitter (LA) is incensed by this.

Revealed: The Dept. of Homeland Security Employee Who Runs Racist, White-Hating Website

-By Warner Todd Huston

A Department of Homeland Security operative responsible for buying weapons and ammunition for the agency has been discovered running a website that urges black people to kill whites and to kill “Uncle Tom race traitors.”

Some of you may recall the 1.6 billion of rounds of ammo that DHS has been buying.

Now, only a few months after we’ve learned that the DHS is buying billions of rounds of ammo–not to mention tanks and armored vehicles–we find one of its procurement officers is a racist bent on the genocide of white people.

Ayo Kimathi, who calls himself the “Irritated Genie” on his website, claimed he set up the website to sell concert and lecture videos.

But what actually appears on his site is a far cry from mere promotional items.

‘Mother Jones’ Suddenly Notices The Cult of Obama

-By Warner Todd Huston

Kevin Drum of the hard left magazine Mother Jones is shocked to have found that there really is a cult of Obama out there.

In an August 19 blog post headlined The Great Emo-Prog vs. O-Bot Debate, Drum was absolutely flabbergasted to find that there really are people who imagine that Obama is the coming of the messiah.

“I’ve long been skeptical of the idea that Obama has a core group of supporters from 2008 who really do consider him The One, a shining beacon of light who can do no wrong. But I’m the one who was wrong,” Drum wrote ruefully.

But Drum has found to his amazement that there really are people who will call you any manner of names, assume you are a racist, and claim you aren’t a real leftist with even the slightest criticism of the Obammessiah.

Drum also complained that,

Obama Missing Half of Obamacare’s Legal Implementation Deadlines

-By Warner Todd Huston

If Obamacare is such a great and important law, why is Obama missing up to half of the legally imposed deadlines for its various parts by waiving or just ignoring them? That is the news this month as Obamacare seems to be proving the “train wreck” that it is.

Many of the features (or do you call them “bugs”) of Obama’s take over of our health care system are supposed to be going into effect this year. But deadlines for important features such as the employer mandate, taxpayer protection features that are supposed to stop fraud and identify theft and other aspects of the so-called “Affordable” Care Act have been passed by without implementation despite that they are absolutely mandated by the law.

All this was released in a new report by the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan office of Congress. The report found that of the 82 deadlines, about half have already been missed.

As Forbes notes, “If you exclude the 9 deadlines that became moot because Congress never appropriated the funds to meet them, the Obama administration missed 41 out of 73 deadlines, or 56 percent.”

President Obama Declares Health Insurance is ‘A Right’

-By Warner Todd Huston

During his weekly address from August 17, President Obama declared that health insurance isn’t just a privilege–it’s a right.

The address, titled “Working to Implement the Affordable Care Act,” featured all the President’s well-worn claims about Obamacare that we are used to hearing.

Obama touted the fact that people under 26 can stay on their parent’s insurance, he talked of the “free mammograms,” and celebrated the access to “contraceptive care.” And then, in full demagogic mode, Obama went on to excoriate Republicans for trying to hurt “sick people” and the economy by opposing his Obamacare law.

Warming to his theme, Obama then said, “A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail, they’ll somehow be sticking it to me. But they’d just be sticking it to you.”

While this is all typical Obama boilerplate, light on facts and heavy on sunny promises and hectoring rhetoric, one point he made was rather fantastic. He declared health insurance to be a right.

Obama wrapped up his weekend address making just that proclamation.

The ‘Forced Home Inspections’ in Obamacare Law

-By Warner Todd Huston

New reports are finding that President Obama’s take over of our healthcare system with his Obamacare law will give the government the right to force “inspections” on millions of American homes and your guns may be one of the factors causing a “forced” inspection.

Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) website details the “Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program” which give the government the right to invade any home of families Obama deems is a “high-risk” home.

One of the criteria of an “high-risk” home is the presence of firearms, according to a manual published by HHS in 2006.

According to Freedom Outpost other markers of a “high-risk” home are:

Obama-Masked Missouri Rodeo Clown Banned From Sport For Life

-By Warner Todd Huston

Don’t make fun of king Obama. If you do your life will be destroyed. That is the message that the Missouri State Fair is sending by the banning for life of a rodeo clown that used an Obama mask during a recent performance.

Of course, the crowd had a great time with the stunt as can be seen in a video of the event…

The incident occurred on August 10 at the Missouri State Fair where Rodeo clown Tuffy Gessling made a bunch of Obama jokes with a dummy figure of Obama propped up by a broom which was being used as a target for the rodeo bulls. But soon scolds on the Internet went wild attacking the clown as “racist.”

Jeff Mazur, an Executive Director for AFSCME, a left-wing government workers union, and an operative in Democrat Governor Jay Nixon’s administration, wasn’t amused, though and he took to Twitter to immediately attack the rodeo for the Obama joke. (See his Tweet below)

Your Taxes Going to Pay for Hotel Rooms for Illegal Aliens

-By Warner Todd Huston

Fox News just found out that the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is spending thousands of your tax dollars a day on hotel rooms for illegal aliens. One official said this “shouldn’t be happening,” but it is.

Fox found that millions of illegals a year are given temporary status for asylum in the USA and are often given free hotel stays while they wait for a hearing before an immigration judge. Worse, some 600,000 to 800,000 a year don’t bother to show up for their hearings. That means they are wandering about the USA with no accounting for their whereabouts or their legal status.

There are so many, sometimes hundreds per day, that ICE hasn’t anywhere to keep them so they just foot the bill for hotel rooms while they wait. This wait can be weeks and months away from being given their cozy, free hotel rooms paid for by you and me.

Fox found that the numbers of asylum seekers has grown exponentially of late and that these illegals are using “special key words” when they apply for asylum, words the Obama administration has set up as safe words used to give these illegals immediate protected status.

Close Obama Family Friend Cooperating With Feds in Probe of Chicago Corruption Scheme

-By Warner Todd Huston

A close friend of President Obama was forced to admit, Friday, that he is cooperating with authorities over a probe into a $433,000 kickback scheme at an Illinois agency he once headed.

Obama pal, Dr. Eric Whitaker, the former head of the Illinois Department of Public Health, has said he is cooperating on an investigation into alleged corruption perpetrated by his former chief of staff.

On August 9, James A. Lewis, the U.S. Attorney for the Illinois Central District, indicted Quinshaunta R. Golden, Whitaker’s chief of staff at the Illinois Department of Public Health, on charges of conspiring to divert state funds into her own pockets and then attempting to cover it all up.

Quinshaunta Golden is the niece of current U.S. Representative Danny Davis (D, Chicago) and is the 13th person indicted in the probe involving millions of dollars in state grants.

Golden is accused of having Leon Dingle, Jr. hire a “security consultant” at a cost of one million dollars in state funds. Dingle was director of a non-profit receiving grants from the state This consultant, referred to as “Individual A” in the indictment, then kicked some of that money back to Golden.

Obama is taking steps to begin to force “diversity” on your neighborhood through new fiat changes to policies of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Many fear this will force lenders right back into the sort of dangerous Democrat-sponsored lending practices that brought us the recent economic collapse.

This move corresponds to Obama Executive Order 1282, headlined: Leadership and Coordination of Fair Housing in Federal Programs; Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.

Obama’s Maya Shankar, A 20-Something Hottie That Thinks She Knows How You Should Lead Your Life

-By Warner Todd Huston

What does a hottie in her late 20s who spent most of her life trying to be a violin virtuoso know about anything? Apparently everything as she has been put in charge of Obama’s “nudge squad” and will henceforth be telling you how to lead your life.


Watch out Michelle, here comes Maya Shankar to do some nudgin’

Maya Shankar has been appointed as chief nudge in Obama’s new “behavioral insights team,” another tax-wasting group whose task will be to figure out cunning ways to push Americans into doing what Obama and his big government playmates want them to do.

And dreams can come true if you are a violinist attending Yale. As it happens, Shankar was pronounced one of the Glamour magazine’s 2006 “top ten college women” and back then in the old days had gushed that her dream job would be to serve as one of Obama’s top science advisors.

But what does one do when one washes out of violin prodigy-ness? Why fulfill that standby dream by joining the Obama administration, of course.

So, viola… I mean voila… the little cutie shipped off to Washington to become the cutest little nudge you ever did see. And, as precious as it is, she’s already issued her first o-fish-i-al memo about her new multi-trillion dollar agency–because all federal agencies cost us trillions at this point, I’m pretty sure.

CNN & NBC’s Close Ties to Obama, Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer and IRS Intimidation

-By Warner Todd Huston

The ongoing revelations of the intimidation of conservatives executed by Obama’s IRS and FEC agencies are still coming to light but an interesting wrinkle to the story is the close relationship between CNN and NBC/MSNBC and those inside the administration perpetrating that intimidation.

NBC/MSNBC had recently hired former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn as an on-air analyst to comment on what is going on in Washington today. CNN has also featured Dunn as a panelist from time to time. Both did so ostensibly because Dunn is one of those most involved in the Washington scene and is a major player as a K Street lobbyist.

Dunn is a key operative at the well connected SKD Knickerbocker, a DC-based campaign communications group, and is also intimately connected to many other firms and lobbying efforts.

In fact, Dunn raised eyebrows during the 2012 presidential election when it was discovered how integral she was as a consultant for firms lobbying the administration even as President Obama was then claiming, as he has claimed for years, that he was eliminating lobbyists in his administration and “changing business as usual” in DC.

Americans For Prosperity Protest Outside Blue Cross/Blue Shield’s Chicago HQ Over Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

Some members of the Illinois chapter of Americans for Prosperity mounted a little community awareness protest over the crony capitalist role in Obamacare’s “enroll America” program being carried out by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The protest was held outside the healthcare giant’s downtown headquarters, today.

In a past press release, Americans for Prosperity said, “Blue Cross and Blue Shield executives met with President Obama and Secretary (Kathleen) Sebelius as recently as April to discuss how they can work together to enroll as many people as possible in insurance policies through the exchange. This is the epitome of a Big Business-Big Government partnership designed to grow private business profits through government force, all under the guise of a non-profit.”

Life Inside the White House: Obama Staffers Reflect

This is a very interesting panel assembled to relate their experiences of working in the White House for Barack Obama.

If you can get past the slobbering love they have for the worst president in American history–a sycophancy that is to be expected of true believers such as these–it is nonetheless quite interesting to hear their experiences about actually working inside the People’s House.

The video was made by the University of Chicago. The panelists are Jon Favreau, former director of speechwriting for President Obama; Katie McCormick Lelyveld, former press secretary for First Lady Michelle Obama; Chris Lu, Cabinet secretary and former assistant to the President; and Elizabeth Jarvis Shean, former White House research director.

The moderator was Kenneth Walsh, chief White House correspondent for U.S. News and World Report and author of the book “Prisoners of the White House.”


Obama Meets With Democrats, Speaks About Zimmerman Verdict

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a closed-door meeting with Congressional Democrats at the Capitol, President Obama again promised that his administration would look for ways to examine the criminal justice system in the aftermath of the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

Obama visited with Congressional Democrats in a cloistered meeting on July 31, ostensibly to continue his umpteenth pivot to jobs and the economy, but Politico notes that Representative Elijah Cummings (D, MD) brought up the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case and again urged the President to do more to address the incident.

Obama told Democrats that he is still looking for ways to use the Department of Justice to address the issue instead of trying to pass legislation.

In the immediate aftermath of Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict, several African American Democrats and other top Democrat leaders called for the federal government to act.

Sycophancy: White House Pool Reporter Yells Out Birthday Wishers to Prez

During an availability in the Oval Office on August 1, a White House reporter interrupted questions being asked of President Obama and Yemeni President Rabbuh Mansur Hadi with wishes for a happy birthday. Not too sycophantic, eh?

President Obama turns 52 on August 4.

The Weekly Standard reported the press pool blurb saying:

Pool was ushered into Oval Office at 5pm, where POTUS was seated with President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi of Yemen.

Will send full transcript of their remarks after this. Here’s a quick overview.

POTUS and Hadi both spoke for about five minutes apiece, through translators. Both appeared pretty relaxed, listened intently as the other spoke. Topics included the partnership between the US and Yemen, our joint counterterrorism efforts, the growing push for change and democracy among Yemeni youth.

POTUS ignored a handful of questions tossed out by poolers at the end, about Russia and Snowden, and about Guantanamo.

Your pooler also heard someone say, “Happy birthday.” POTUS’ birthday is Aug. 4.

Obama: Country Would Be ‘Better Off’ If More Worked for Government

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama loves him some big government policies, we all know, but now he’s saying that just about everyone should work for the government and if they did the economy would be “better off.” So, who would pay all the taxes if everyone made a living FROM those taxes? He doesn’t seem to have an answer to that one.

In a July 29 speech on the economy, President Obama claimed that the country would be better off if the federal government and local city, county and state governments would hire more people.

Obama made these absurd comments at the Amazon.com Shipping Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a speech that is part of his re-re-re-pivot to the economy and jobs. You know, because he’s been soooo successful with those efforts in the past.

Obama carped that cities like Chicago laid off “700,000 workers at the federal, state and local levels of government lost their jobs.” But this is no less because those cities and governments face a budget doomsday over all the undeserved union demands in pay, pensions and benefits they were doused with in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Now that those undeserved bills forced on taxpayers by government union thugs is coming due, many cities around the country have laid off workers and put a freeze on more hiring. Obama is upset at this.
