Where’s the great orator?

During a family discussion on the silence of President Obama about the subject of the recent execution-style killing of two NYPD officers, we recalled how he weighed-in when the victims were black.

Where is the president when the nation needs a civil response to the blue on black controversy? (biostate.blogspot.com)

Remember how he said the Cambridge, MA police “acted stupidly” in the Louis Gates arrest, and how if he had a son, he would have looked like Trayvon Martin? Following the shooting of Michael Brown, he said “too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement,” while directing AG Eric Holder to conduct an investigation.

Most recently he commented on the grand jury decision in the Eric Garner death in New York, saying, “minority communities feel that law enforcement is not working with them and dealing with them in a fair way.”  During that same appearance – unbelievably – he said, “My tradition is not to remark on cases where there still may be an investigation …” Continue reading →

A $3,000 incentive to hire illegals

“The steps we took early on to rescue our economy and rebuild it on a new foundation helped make 2014 the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s.  All told, over a 57-month streak, our businesses have created nearly 11 million new jobs.”

President Obama opened his last press conference for 2014 with that boastful statement, and when he took questions, not a single White House correspondent challenged him on jobs or the economy, and the fact that the middle class isn’t experiencing the rosy picture he paints.

They could have queried him about the 70 million Americans who are not working, the miserable unemployment rate being experienced among Blacks, or perhaps, they could have asked him to explain the “new foundation” to which he referred.

I would have liked to have had the opportunity to ask him about the hiring of illegals.  Earlier this month it was revealed that a loophole in the Affordable Health Care Act (ObamaCare) makes the five million illegal immigrants more attractive to businesses as new hires.  Because the illegals are ineligible for ObamaCare, businesses wouldn’t be required to pay the $3,000 penalty for not providing them health coverage.

Michigan professor slams Republicans

When first I heard that a University of Michigan professor had slandered Republicans, it didn’t come as a surprise since university and college faculties have long been havens for liberals, and conservative students have recently been recording their classroom propaganda.

Susan J. Douglas, a professor of communications at Michigan, decided to take her “hate” to a little-known nonprofit magazine, In These Times.* Her piece later found its way on line.

Susan J. Douglas, a professor of communications at the University of Michigan, expressed her hate for Republications in print.

“I hate Republicans.  I can’t stand the thought of having to spend the next two years watching Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Ted Cruz , Darrell Issa or any of the legions of other blowhards denying climate change, thwarting immigration reform or championing fetal “personhood,” she wrote.

Her loathing was couched in a typical feminist rant regarding the question of marrying a Republican.  Her brand of Republican – a moderate dating back to the 1960 and 1970s – is “now extinct,” she wrote.  I say, thank goodness.

She vilified Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and the GOP for smearing the Clintons and President Obama, and Republicans for their “complete repudiation” of the Democrat Party as  having any legitimacy at all.

Isn’t it interesting how she has selective amnesia when it comes to the words and actions of liberal Senators Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin and Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Alan Grayson, to mention a few. Continue reading →

China reneges on climate accord

There they were, President Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, all smiles during last month’s APEC summit meeting in Beijing, after signing a commitment to limit greenhouse gas emissions by 2025-2030.

The sight of the two leaders agreeing on the reduction of fossil fuels had to thrill the low-information crowd and, of course, the “greenies.” … read more

McSally’s win followed by warning

During Martha McSally’s campaign for Congress in Arizona’s Second District, the left-leaning Arizona Republic reported that, if she were to win, she would have to shed any conservative views she might have if she wanted to serve more than one term.

McSally was finally named the victor this week in a recount over Democrat incumbent Ron Barber, who narrowly beat her in 2012. … read more

Obama administration continues pattern of lies

In my Oct. 1, 2014 post, It can all be traced back to President Obama, I called your attention to the ethically-challenged culture of the Obama White House, suggesting that his staffers and appointees merely follow his pattern of deceit.

It continues.

Yesterday we learned that Tony Blinken, the newly confirmed deputy secretary of state, openly lied during his confirmation hearing last month.… read more

NBC’s Williams, O’Donnell continue to carry Obama’s water as Crowley leaves CNN and Compton rips Obama’s profanity

As I have written in previous posts, NBC and its cable network MSNBC continue to pretend that certain news event simply didn’t happen if they are likely to make the Obama administration look bad.  Such has been the case with Benghazi, the IRS scandal and most recently the surfacing of embarrassing tapes showing the egotistic ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber revealing how the public was seen as stupid.… read more

California liberal calls for apology to terrorists

When Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) told MS/NBC the CIA should “absolutely” issue an apology for its enhanced interrogation techniques, we can only assume she believes we should apologize to the terrorists who were subjected to them.  After all, don’t you usually apologize to the victim?

There would be no reason for the CIA operatives involved in the interrogation and detention program to apologize, because they were following orders provided by legal counsel in the Bush administration, where there was an intense effort to prevent post 9/11 attacks.… read more
