Media’s Obama Sell-Out is ‘Unexpectedly’ Pervasive

August 27, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Friday, Jim Geraghty voiced the “joke” that is the Old Media news coverage of the era of Obama, the joke that we conservatives have been guffawing over for about a year now. That is the employment of the word “unexpectedly” in news coverage of disaster after Obama disaster. Every new instance of Obama’s economic failure just amazes and perplexes these left-leaning media types.

Every time the purveyors of the “news” are forced to admit that we have yet another Obama downgrade, another spate of economic backsliding, or yet one more report of always rising unemployment numbers, the “news” media finds these facts “unexpectedly” shocking. Geraghty notes several instances of the shock that the media keeps finding in itself that it expresses day in and day out.

But, as Geraghty notes, there are hundreds of examples of the media finding it “unexpected” that the economy and jobs situation keep getting worse. It is no late phenomenon. Geraghty also notes that the same faux shock is evinced by all the so-called economic experts — leftist, Keynesians all — that the media turns to for analysis…

Brave Obama To Rid World of the Dangerous… Guitars?

August 26, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

You know, I am so glad that we have a President Obama, a president with enough backbone to make the world safe from evil… uh… guitars. Yes, that’s right, President Obama has sent his envirostormtroopers on a nation-wide hunt for evil guitars whether they are 100-year-old pickers or strummers still in the earliest stages of manufacture. That’s right, Obama is on a campaign to abort guitars in the womb!

He’s sooooo brave.

The latest in Obama’s anti-musical crusade is occurring in Memphis, Tennessee at the Gibson guitar plant where Obama’s stormtroopers have knocked down doors and quashed production of new guitars because… well, because there is wood in them. Illegal wood, at that…

Kinky Friedman Goes Heavy for Perry for President

August 25, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Kinky Friedman, the self-professed Governor of the Heart of Texas, is the wild man of Texas politics. In fact, he ran against current Governor Rick Perry for the Guv’s chair so when it comes to Perry’s bid for president, one might expect that the Kinkster has something to say about that. Well, he doesn’t disappoint.

Friedman has run for office several times — never won — and in debates was the straight talking “Jewish cowboy” that everyone loved to hear go off on a rant. He’s a singer and writer and entrepreneur (He even has his own line of cigars) for a living, but he really made an interesting name for himself in Texas politics…

Michelle O Has Spent more than $10 Million of Our Tax $$ On Vacations

August 24, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

A few days ago I wrote a post on my own site saying that the Obamas travel like South American dictators. Well, here is more evidence of this. Recent reports find that Michelle Obama alone has spent over $10 million of “Obama’s stash” — or rather $10 million of our tax dollars — just on vacations for herself and her kiddos.

Rush Limbaugh calls her “Moochele Obama” and that is starting to look like an apt handle for the wife of the biggest spender in Washington. With her trips around the world, her stays at luxurious 5-star resorts and hotels, her many shopping trips, she is looking more and more like the biggest mooch in presidential history.

Yet, where is the press to lambaste Moochelle Obama? Scolding first ladies for their spending of the people’s tax dollars on baubles and trips is a long tradition in the American press corp. As far back as Dolly Madison the press has attacked presidential wives for spending. Mary Lincoln was mercilessly slammed for buying china, housewares, and dresses during the Civil War. As recent as Ronald Reagan’s era the press slammed FLOTUS Nancy for her spending. Yet, Moochelle gets a pass? Imagine that, the sold-out press not criticizing The One OR his wifeypoo…

Terrorists, Leftists, and Muslims Attack… Singer Katy Perry?

August 23, 2011 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

First of all, I have to admit that I wouldn’t know a Katy Perry song from a hole in the wall. What’s more I couldn’t care less about her music. Far as I’m concerned they stopped making rock-n-roll in the late 1970s. But you do have to feel sorry for the pop singer with this latest Twit-troversy she is facing for having had the temerity to support Israel on her Twitter account after this latest round of Islamofascist terrorism that she has suffered.

One of Perry’s fans had tweeted to her about the suffering of Israel and asked Perry to pray for them. Perry responded saying, “I am! My prayers are for you guys tonight, SHALOM!!”

Well, you’d have thought that the singer had tweeted that she was hoping to kill a few puppies tonight because after her tweet one so-called Palestinian, Muslim, leftist, progressive, and terror supporter (but I repeat myself) after another took to their own Twitter accounts to attack Perry for offering prayers for those killed by terrorists in Israel…

More Dem. New Tone: Of Obama Lies and Epithets At Tea Partiers

August 21, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Yes it’s that vaunted new age of Obama, folks. You remember; the one where we were all going to walk into the sunset, hand-in-hand, being all nice to each other because politics had gotten “too divisive”? You know, that new tone that the Democrats insisted that the ascendancy of Obmaa meant for the country. Yeah, the one where Obama and his administration underlings simply lie outright about Republicans and where Democrat Congresscritters tell Tea Partiers that they can “go straight to hell.” Yeah… THAT new tone.

Let’s start with the always loquacious Maxine Waters. This queen of ignorance was pretending to act all bold and everything by saying she reused to be intimidated by the Tea Party movement. In her eloquent, lady-like manner she said, “This is a tough game. You can’t be intimidated. You can’t be frightened. And as far as I’m concerned, the ‘tea party’ can go straight to hell.”

Sadly, neither Maxine Water, Obama nor Arne Duncan care much about the truth. After all, they have a country to downgrade….

Obama STILL Giving Obamacare Waivers out to Pals and Unions

August 20, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

We just had to have Obamacare, we were told. It was the best way to keep all Americans healthy, they claimed. Without Obamacare, we are not a fit place to live. In fact, if you stand against Obamacre you are a hatemonger that wants everyone to die. Yep, that’s what we were told. So if Obamacre is so great, why has Obama given 1,472 of his best friends’ companies a waiver so that they can be excused from suffering under some aspects of Obamacare like the rest of us?

Obama and his cohorts have told us that the best thing for the country is to eliminate private insurance, make doctors all government employees, and take away our choices in healthcare with a single payer system. Yet, even as he’s is telling us we don’t deserve to be allowed to choose our own type of helathcare services and should be forced under Obamacare, he’s giving his buddies in the unions and other donors a free ticket out of Obamacare…

John Kerry’s Swift Boat Supporter Has Silver Star Revoked

August 19, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Remember all the hub bub of the Swift Boat story during the 2004 presidential run of Democrat John F’n Kerry? Well with all that in mind, you might vaguely recall a certain Captain Wade R. Sanders, Kerry’s military colleague and heavy supporter of the would be president from Massachusetts. Well, in a very unusual move, this “hero” of Viet Nam has just had his Silver Star award revoked by the Navy.

Captain Sanders was the most outspoken member of Kerry’s “band of brothers” coterie of veterans that came to his support during his run for the White House. Sanders even introduced Kerry at the Democrat Convention that put Kerry’s name before the American people as a candidate for president. Sanders trained with Kerry at Naval Base Coronado when the pair were sent to Viet Nam as Navy Swift Boat officers…

Lefties So Far Behind They Are Praying for Space Alien Intervention

August 18, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, it’s “ET phone home” for the lefties these days. We now have two instances of leftists wishing for alien intervention, and, no, I am not talking about folks from another country but things from another galaxy!

First there is pseudo-economics expert Paul Krugman. Last week on Fareed Zakaria’s CNN program, Krugman seriously floated the idea that a space alien invasion could act as a great “economic stimulus” for our flagging economy. No, really. He did….

Gun Walker Guns Linked to 11 US Crime Scenes, BATF Officers PROMOTED!

August 17, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Another update on the ever worsening scandal of Obama’s program to arm Mexican narco-terrorists is at hand. I know, it seems to be all I am writing about lately, but so much is happening with this deepening scandal. Now we’ve found out that not only have these gun walker guns ended up at 11 U.S. crime scenes, but the BATF officials responsible for the program have been given raises and promotions, not fired or even jailed as they should be!

First of all, the guns. The L.A. Times reports that at least 11 guns linked to the Obama program to arm Mexican narco-terrorists have been found at violent crime scenes right here in our own country. This is in addition to the murder of a U.S. border agent as previously reported…

Was Obama’s CIA Behind Guns for Mexican Narco-Terrorists?

August 16, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

There was an interesting article in the Washington Times on August 11 that speculated that the CIA was an important participant in Obama’s gun walker/Operation Fast and Furious program that put free guns in the hands of Mexican narco-terrorists. The reason the CIA was so interested in doing this was to lend its support to one violent Mexican drug cartel in hopes it could defeat an even more violent Mexican drug cartel.

Of course, the CIA wasn’t the only conspirator in Obama’s arming of Mexican narco-terrorists. We know that the FBI, the DEA, and the BATF were in this mess up to each of their elbows and all have blood on their hands. But the Times notes that the CIA is one agency that has been left out of the blame game in this mounting scandal…

Some Dr. Seussian Fun: I Do Not Like This Uncle Sam

Allen West Slams Ron Paul Over Debate Comments

August 14, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Ron Paul certainly distanced himself from the other GOP candidates at the debate on the issue of foreign policy, didn’t he? He made himself seem like a head-in-the-sand, isolationist and his historical ignorance was amazing. Not only that but his simpleton approach to foreign policy was nothing short of breath taking. Well, Rep. Allen West similarly thought that Paul’s gabled ideas were dangerous and stated directly that Pau is “not the kind of guy you need to be sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.”

Florida Representative Allen West, a former Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Army who served in Iraq, was attending a Tea Party event in Fort Lauderdale, Florida late last week and made a few comments about Paul’s rambling at the Ames debate.

West told attendees that the threats to the USA are far more dangerous than Ron Paul’s simple minded claims tended to make them seem…

Union Thug Puts Own Teen Daughter In Front of Moving Truck as Protest

August 12, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

With the current strike against Verizon we once again find that union thugs see no reason to obey the law. But it gets even worse. One union thug has even placed his unionism above fatherhood by placing his own teenaged daughter in front of a moving truck in order to protest Verizon.

This Verizon strike has been going on for a little while and has already resulted in lawbreaking, intimidation, and now endangering a minor. Check out this video of a foul-mouthed union thug putting his own teenaged daughter in danger just so he can pay fealty to his unionism…

Rick Perry: A Major Squish on Immigration?

August 11, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Many conservatives across the nation are panting in anticipation of the entry of Texas Governor Rick Perry in the race for the 2012 GOP nomination for president. With his jobs creation record and his undeniable conservative fiscal record, many can’t wait to see this tall Texan join the race. But former Congressman and one-time presidential candidate Tom Tancredo of Colorado begs to differ. He says Perry is no conservative, at least on matters of immigration.

Tancredo penned an op ed at Politico slamming Perry as an amnesty supporter and a major squish on immigration. In truth there is no way to explain away Tancredo’s criticism, either. It’s all pretty undeniable….

Perry Parries Iowan’s Ire

August 10, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Texas Governor Rick Perry has made it known that he’s going to announce his candidacy for the GOP nomination for president at the Red State Conference in South Carolina on August 13, the same weekend as the Ames, Iowa straw poll. This didn’t sit well with the Iowa Republican blog. The paper called Perry’s timing a “slap in the face to Iowa Republicans.”

The Iowa GOP uses the well-publicized straw poll as a fundraiser for the party and it is also has a sort of pride of place being one of the early, notable primary time events. So, it is easy to see how the Iowans would be a tad upset that Perry decided to use another state on the same weekend to make his announcement. Iowa Republicans would naturally feel he should have used their own stomping grounds for his announcement…

Texan Rick Perry In For 2012 Election (All But Announced)

August 8, 2011 by

Looks like Rick Perry, current Governor of Texas, is in for the hunt for the GOP nomination for president of the United States. At this point, he’s all but had his official announcement and word is that the announcement is to come Saturday.

Below is the first Perry campaign video and it is smartly focused on the incredible jobs record that Texas has amassed under Perry. After all, having created some 73 percent of all the new jobs in the country is a pretty amazing record.

Group Gives $1 Mil Donation to Romney Then Disappears

It’s a drive-by donation! A mysterious company formed on March 15, 2011, then donated one million dollars to the Romney for president campaign on April 28, and by June 11th the company filed papers to dissolve. The whole situation has raised many eyebrows about the legality — if not the morality — of the donation.

Based on History, Romney Won’t Win Nomination

August 3, 2011 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Politico has a great piece about Mitt Romney’s second run for the nomination for president of the Republican Party. It analyzes the history of losing candidates that tried four years later to win the second time ’round. Unfortunately for the Mittster, the history argues that he’ll lose this time, too.

Looking at the history of candidates that ran once and lost then tried to win again four years later, Politico found that not one of them succeeded. A few candidates that ran eight years later, though, did win. So, the conclusion is, history would show that Mitt won’t win this time, but could have if he’d waited eight years instead of running again right away four years later…

Why Does the Media Let VP Biden Get Away With it?

August 2, 2011 by

Earlier we reported that Vice President Joe Biden called the Tea Party folks “terrorists.” Biden has denied he said it, but even the left-wing media is satisfied that he did. Not a soul believes Joe’s denial. But the “terrorism” gaffe isn’t the only stupid comment Biden made this week. The question is, though, why does the media just laugh and let Joe Biden get away with it all the time?

The other stupid comment Joe Biden made was when he said that triumphant representative Gabrielle Giffords was a member of the “cracked head club” just like he was. What is wrong with this moron?…

Those Evil Fatcats… They Are Our Congressmen and Senators

As many of our congressmen and senators wail abut the eeeevil rich, as they sit in D.C. and claim that “the rich” need to be punished for their success, as many of them constantly look for new ways to turn Americans against “the rich,” we find out that “the rich” include those same over paid members of Congress that are so hotly engaged in class warfare.

A new report by the Taxpayers Protection Alliance titled Are Taxpayers Getting Their Money’s Worth?, provides an analysis of Congressional compensation that shows that members of Congress make far and away more than lawmakers of other western countries — second only to Japan — not to mention the average American of similar station…
