Boehner Says Obama’s Bergdahl Swap Will Cost Lives

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

Obama claimed to have made the decision to swap five high-risk terrorists for one American deserter because “we never leave an American behind”. But he didn’t think much of the lives of Americans that would be put at risk by his decision, as a new video by John Boehner points out. Today, House Speaker John […]

Posted on by William Teach

Strangely, he doesn’t suggest that the huge number of people who protect him who carry automatic and sem-automatic weapons should be disarmed (Daily Caller) President Barack Obama Tuesday suggested that the U.S. government should follow Australia’s example in dealing with shooting sprees, which involved strict gun bans on semiautomatic and automatic weapons. “Australia had a […]

 

White House: Some Soldiers Can Be Left Behind

Posted on by William Teach

In relation to Bowe Bergdahl, Obama has said many times since the swap “We don’t leave men and women in uniform behind”, or something to that tune. He even doubled down by adding “We don’t condition that.” Of course, the issue isn’t Bergdahl, but a failure to notify Congress and, #1, trading 5 high ranking […]

 

GOP: Obama’s Impeachment Off The Table

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This may anger many conservatives–especially those who don’t necessarily call themselves “Republicans”–but the GOP establishment has essentially said that impeaching Obama is off the table. As much as I despise this president, I have to agree with the decision. According to The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard: “Despite anger in many quarters of the nation over […]

 

Absurd Excuses Used to Clear Gitmo Terrorists for Release

Posted on by Dave Blount

Obama wants the worst-of-the-worst Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo freed, and he doesn’t care how preposterous the excuses he has to use to do it. He may never top the trade of five top Taliban commanders for a deserter and probable defector for sheer absurdity, but here are some more that are good for laughs in […]

 

General Jack Keane Says Pentagon is “Outraged” Over Obama’s Bergdahl Victory Lap

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

The military community doesn’t look too fondly on deserters, especially when the deserter caused the deaths of other soldiers, and not many of them would cheer the decision to release five high-risk terrorists for one deserter. It’s for all these reasons that General Jack Keane is reporting that the Pentagon is furious with Obama for […]

 

Man With Largest Carbon Footprint In World Would Like To “Go Off On Deniers”

Posted on by William Teach

Thomas Friedman has a little op-ed piece up regarding Obama’s “climate change” power plant rules, which includes an interview with Obama. Remember, this is the same guy who will take a fossil fueled helicopter over to Andrews Air Force Base, jump on Air Force 1 to fly all the way across the country (with a […]

Income Inequality FAR Worse in Liberal States Where Socialist Policies Reign

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left’s latest, most favorite drum to beat is “income inequality” where they whine that the rich are too rich and the poor are barred by conservative policies from ever being able to catch up in pay. But it turns out that liberal states have worse income inequality than red states. Richard K. Vedder and […]

 

NY Times: Bergdahl Desertion Really Fault Of Unit Discipline, Afghanistan War

Posted on by William Teach

I’m surprised NY Times writers, Richard A. Oppel Jr. and Eric Schmitt, didn’t just straight out Blame Bush Bergdahl Was in Unit Known for Its Troubles The platoon was, an American military official would assert years later, “raggedy.” On their tiny, remote base, in a restive sector of eastern Afghanistan at an increasingly violent time […]

 

VIDEO: Obama in 2008: “McCain Has Repeated This Notion That I’m Prepared to Negotiate with Terrorists”

Posted on by McGuire

Today #TBT will mean Throw Back Terrorist Negotiations. Obama, with his usual air of self righteousness, has gone back on his word once again. Remember those 5 terrorists we traded for a soldier just a few days ago? I do. Sure seems like Negotiating with Terrorists to me. But don’t worry folks, we’ve got great […]

 

Eric Holder Using Money Meant To Secure Border To Pay For Lawyers For Illegals To Avoid Deportation

Posted on by McGuire

Eric Holder once again demonstrates his passion for the leftist agenda of keeping illegals here in the US. Holder has decided that he deserves $2 million of a secure borders fund to pay for lawyers for illegals! Obama has requested $2 billion – not to deport the illegals from this unprecedented invasion – but to […]

“Mr. President, You Are My Commander-in-Chief. Get Me Out of Jail.” Marine Rotting in Mexican Prison For Making a Driving Mistake Pleads With Obama to Free Him Like He Did Bergdahl

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

Obama has proudly declared that he doesn’t leave any Americans behind as justification for choice to trade five high-level terrorists for deserter Bowe Bergdahl. This apparently doesn’t apply to Marine Andrew Tahmooressi, trapped in a Mexican prison and being held in despicable conditions, simply for making a wrong turn. A US Marine held in a […]

 

Lindsey Graham Warns of Republican Impeachment Push Over Release Of Terrorists

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

The release of Bowe Bergdahl was supposed to be Obama’s salvation from the swirling pool of scandals that he couldn’t swim out of. Instead, he’s found himself sinking a little bit further, as now Republican lawmakers are considering impeaching Obama for breaking a law that he signed himself. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) warned Wednesday that […]

 

Obama’s “Carbon” Plan: Killing Jobs, Costing Americans Money

Posted on by William Teach

I’m still not that concerned with Obama’s climate change plan: there is a low probability that it will actually be implemented. There will be too many lawsuits filed and fought. Republican led states, and perhaps energy states with Democrat leadership, will blow the regulations off. A GOP president starting in 2017 will roll the regs […]

 

Team Obama “Surprised” By Bergdahl Reaction

Posted on by William Teach

One does have to wonder what was going through the heads of Obama and the people working for him regarding the prisoner swap that released 5 hardcore Islamists, high ranking members of the Taliban, in exchange for a soldier who deserted, and possibly gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Defense and CIA were overruled, […]

 

Georgia Ordered Not to Drug Test Welfare Recipients by the Obama Administration

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

Once upon a time, there used to be these fancy things called “state rights”. But in Obama’s America, Obama is king and states don’t have the right to make their own policy decisions anymore. The federal government has put the state of Georgia on formal notice that it can’t make poor people take drug tests […]

 

Three Laws Obama Violated by Releasing Top Taliban Terrorists, in Escalating Importance

Posted on by Dave Blount

When Obama traded five top terrorists selected by the Taliban for a deserter who might have defected, he arrogantly ignored a law requiring Congress to be given 30-day notice. But that isn’t the only law he violated. It is against the law to provide material assistance to a terrorist organization. Andrew Napolitano makes an excellent […]

 

Republicans Claim Bergdahl Deal Was Illegal, Could Obama Be Impeached?

Posted on by Cassy Fiano

Obama’s decision to trade five high-profile terrorists for alleged deserter Bowe Bergdahl has ignited a firestorm of controversy, especially in the military community. But now accusations are being made from Republicans that the deal wasn’t just controversial — it was illegal. Barack Obama broke a federal law that he signed just six months ago when […]

 

Google VP Publicly Flogs Own Company for Lack of Diversity

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Laszlo Bock, Senior Vice President, People Operations, has publicly spoken out about the “lack of diversity” among Google employees. Despite Google’s far left-wing company culture, he is apologetic and wants users to know that there are reasons that Google isn’t “diverse” enough.

Obama’s Climate Policy Thought: “Are we ready for battle?”

Posted on by William Teach

As I noted yesterday, I’m not going to get to worked up when it comes to Obama’s climate change plan. There are many things we could discuss, such as The EPA admitting that it will raise the cost of energy by 6.5% by 2020, regardless of any spin by Obama and EPA head Gina McCarthy […]
