AP Reporter Slams Obama on Fall of Iraq: ‘People Predicted This Would Happen’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This is an odd occurrence. A reporter from the Associated Press actually gave an Obama official a hard time on something instead of just slavishly swallowing everything Obama tosses out there. It was AP reporter Matt Lee who pressed an Obama official on why the President has allowed Iraq to be overtaken by terrorists–he noted […]

The 2014 World Watch List of the 50 worst places in the world to be a Christian has been released showing all the usual suspect nations where Christians face daily persecution.

And as the Syrian issue drags on into weeks since the use of […]

 

A hapless journey’s end

Posted on by Josh Bernstein

What happened in Boston last week was truly a tragedy. Two Muslim brothers detonated two bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Unless you have been living in a cave or under a rock somewhere you already know what happened. The sad fact is the Obama Administration, The FBI, and the entire Intelligence […]

A Blogger at NATO 2012, What I Saw on Day One

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I was awarded press credentials for NATO’s 2012 Summit in Chicago and, having no idea what to expect, what I found on day one was a study in contrasts. What occurred was sometimes amusing, often mundane, and sometimes even violent. But it was all democracy in action. Early on the morning of day one, Sunday, […]

 

Video: Bragging Mr. President? Heroes Don’t Spike the Football

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This video perfectly illuminates the unseemliness of Obama’s constant gloating and bragging that he, himself killed Osama bin Laden. This video comes out just in time as members of the SEALs are slamming Obama for bragging so much about bagging binnie. As the caption notes: America knows who deserves the credit for killing Osama Bin […]

 

Revisionism: Old Timer Phil Donahue Injects Racism Into 2002 Iraq War Vote

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Old-timer Phil Donahue, about who rumor has it used to have some sort of TV show back in the previous century, has recently turned up on NPR for some unexplainable reason. And, like his long past career, he’s dwelling equally in the past with his new comments about the authorization of force against Iraq in […]

 

Obama’s Budget: More Tax, Borrow and Spend

Posted on by Michael Fell

The White House presented its 2012 budget Monday. A $3.8 trillion proposal which includes $1.43 trillion in new taxes on households whose incomes meet or exceed $250,000 (note: this is the new “progressive” definition of millionaires and billionaires), a fourth straight year of $1 trillion-plus deficit spending (which will require yet more borrowing), and new […]

 

State of the Union or Wishful Thinking?

Posted on by Michael Fell

The 2012 State of the Union address has come and gone with little change in the White House’s view of the world. This is unfortunate. America needs viable solutions, not more wishful thinking. Most disturbing is the continued, steadfast insistence that doubling America’s corporate tax rate will somehow create middle class jobs. After repeated failures […]

 

Obama Weekly Address: Honor Returning Troops By Paving Roads, Painting Bridges, And Building Turtle Tunnels

Posted on by William Teach

The man is utterly shameless. He has actually used his weekly radio address to combine sort of honoring those military members returning from Iraq and his push for more “infrastructure” spending. This is the same guy who used to intentionally avoid wearing a flag pin, started his national exposure by giving an anti-Iraq speech, and […]

 

Decade Of War

Nany, Nany Noo Noo: Peggy Noonan Jumps the Shark Over Donald Rumsfeld Memoir

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In her March 11 column, Peggy Noonan (a former special assistant to Ronald Reagan) savaged Donald Rumsfeld as “The Defense Secretary Who Let Bin Laden Get Away .” Noonan also ripped his new book, “Known and Unknown,” as a tome whose “stupid little spine” she wanted to break in anger. I’d like to suggest that […]

Video: What The Heck Happened to the Anti-War Movement?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Obama Says U.S. Can ‘Absorb Terror Attacks’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Eh, don’t worry, America. If there is another 9/11-like terror attack, The One says that we can “absorb it” and just become “stronger” because of it. It’s as if he wants it to happen, or something! In his latest book, Bob Woodward encountered a President Obama that seemed to casually blow off worry of another […]

 

Meanwhile, Back At The Newly Redesigned Oval Office, President Obama Acts Churlish

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

Bleh. Andrew Malcolm has the text of the speech along with some interestingly placed photos–I do believe he’s learned picture placement art from Drudge. My thoughts on the speech? Petty, small, graceless, and ultimately irrelevant. The American people know what’s up in Iraq. This speech wasn’t for them. It was for the Democrat base that […]

 

New Silicon Graffiti Video: The Quotable Harry Reid

Over the past two centuries, the Democratic Party has had many powerful orators. Needless to say, Harry Reid, the Democrats’ Senate Majority Leader since November of 2006, has failed to live up to this proud heritage on a titanic scale. Which is why, from The Home Office in Carson City, Nevada, we’re proud to present, The Top Ten Harry Reid gaffes!

 

Obama Takes Credit For Bush’s Iraq Withdrawal Timeline

What’s Cut from Obama’s West Point Speech Says Much About Him

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Drudge has an interesting little snippet concerning President Obama’s recent speech before the graduating class at West Point. It is a short headline about what was cut from Obama’s speech, a cut that really says a lot about the arrogance of team Obama as well as his utter lack of spontaneity and sincerity and his […]
