Major Idiot

Unfortunately, there are many who think these comments by Bernie Sanders are well stated. The reality is that the government has been in charge of student loans since Obama federalized student loans.

Investors Business Daily accurately assessed the situation back in 2015.

Watch the other hand, or Major Idiots will rule your world.

A Real Turkey

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily

Given the subtle references, this is perhaps the most impressive work by Investors Business Daily brilliant editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez in many a moon.

Obama is in fact a turkey, in more ways than one.

Obama has great affection for Turkey and their Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. As we have previously reported, our commander in chief is an individual who seeks the degrading and transformation of America to a bit player, defines the USA as a country that must pay for its perceived sins as an oppressor and an individual seeking to advance the caliphate, where a Muslim country regains power similar to the days of the old Ottoman Empire. In short, it is reasonable to conclude, by his actions, our president is playing for the other team. And on this team is in PM. Erdoğan.  Neither individual is the least bit concerned about the activities of ISIS, who they see as offer a necessary function in cleansing the territory from infidels.

Obama is an enemy within, hiding in plain sight, with America unable to see the forest from within the trees.

In Sept of 2014, we noted Obama was enabling enemies of state, arming terrorist organizations and helping to create the chaos necessary to fuel the flames of insurgency, all of which escalates the power Iran yields in the middle east. Obama is not delusional. His actions, assisting Iran in forming the caliphate, with ISIS free to do the necessary cleansing, are intentional and orchestrated.

A real Turkey indeed.

Deep Freeze

Once again, the nation finds itself in a deep freeze.



Just this past year, the Buffalo Bills had to move a game from the friendly confines of Orchard Park, NY to Detroit due to a massive snowstorm that left Ralph D. Wislon stadium unable to host a game. Boston has had reached a historical record in snowfall this year as well.  It was just a few years back NASCAR had to cancel qualifying at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway was snowed under this past week.

No doubt, it will be brutal tomorrow night at the High Banks at Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona Duel 150's.

Although the media continues to hammer the public about the horrors of man made global warming, or as they now phrase it, global climate change, even as the nation freezes to death, much of the public remain convinced there is merit to these claims.  In short, they do not believe their own thermometers.

Michael Raimrez/Investors Business Daily

We have long said that Global Warming, or Global Climate Change, is among the greatest hoaxes of all time, a vehicle of the transfer of wealth.  Investors Business Daily editorialized about the re-branding, designed to mask the truth, which seems frosted upon everyone's hair tonight.

When we look for top notch weather data and forecasting, we turn to Joe Bastardi, Chief Forecaster at WeatherBell Analytics.  In a piece over at The Heartland Institute, Bastardi combats some of the propaganda presented in the media.

As global climate change summit's continue to be cancelled due to snowstorms and with the nation in yet another deep freeze, even if you have been brainwashed to believe the global warming alarmists, your freezing body is presenting you the truth.

As we have noted previously, it is important to note that global warming, or the newly defined global climate change, is not about weather.  These people have no idea if it is going to rain next Tuesday in their own back yard.  It is about governmental control, the transfer of wealth, and limitations on real property, restricting property rights under the global premise of social justice.

As the brilliant Michael Ramirez so eloquently stated, it is the truth that is the endangered species in the global climate change "lack" of debate.  The science is settled tonight, with a low of 27 degrees expected here tonight in Orlando.

Commander in Chaos

Without question, the best editorial page in the world belongs to Investors Business Daily. Perhaps the most talented among the staff is editorial columnist and cartoonist Michael Ramirez.  Again this week, Ramirez hit it out of the park.  The following editorial cartoon speaks volumes without commentary.

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily

President Obama is quite serious about only a few things; the transformation of America from a world power, the transfer of wealth from oppressive Uncle Sam to those he stole from, an utter disdain for the US Military and the utilization of his personal time.

For those invested in the prosperity and safety of the citizens of America, the presidency of Obama has been a disaster. You think things are out of control, and Obama is in over his head.  You are incorrect; things are going as planned.

When leadership lacks, and weakness is projected, and a fertile ground for opponents of this nation, agents of evil and unscrupulous actors, achieves a greater yield.  The seeming lack of seriousness by Obama presents a green light to go for our enemies, terrorists around the globe, which results in chaos.

An orchestrated chaos.

While the alarm rings loudly for you and I, Obama engages his plan of attack for these events, presented in the levels of DEFCON so brilliantly described by Ramirez.

Have It Your Way

Another home run for IBD's Michael Ramirez. Burger King won't let wealth transformation, the economics of social justice, eat up their profits. BK will have it their own way!

Everybody Play The Game

Everybody play the game.

Over the past, say six weeks, America has been witnessing a jaw dropping historical influx of illegal immigrants into our nation.  Illegal immigrants.  The majority of those coming, who are mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, are traveling a thousand miles through Mexico passing through  our porous border into the USA.


Thousand of illegal immigrants traveling to USA

President Obama and his administration has informed the public they were caught by surprise by the event.  Obama says he is dealing with it the best he can, laughable on its face, but is handcuffed due to Congress not joining him on a bill of comprehensive immigration reform.

This is nonsense.  Obama and the left, sadly joined by many in the GOP, welcome these illegal immigrants, but the majority of the citizenry are against these illegal immigrants finding new home in America.  Obama and his cohorts are well aware of this, so a plan had to be hatched, and it is being enacted right before your very eyes.

Obama excels at skirting the truth, furnishing the citizenry with propaganda on one hand while engaging in action under the cover of darkness. Proof of this type clandestine operation is tough to come by, but in the case of the border, we have a document of proof.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), placed an RFI seeking escorts for unaccompanied alien children, estimated at 65,000, with a phased approach estimated from several months to a year. An accompanying story by Sara Carter, a copy of the document and a link to the the RFI can be found at The Blaze.

Therefore, without question, the Obama administration knew a sustained flow of illegal immigrants would be coming, failing to notify neighboring jurisdictions or the American citizenry.

As Rush Limbaugh pointed out on his program this afternoon, Susan Crabtree of The Washington Examiner noted a campaign move by Obama to attract Latino voters was potentially a catalyst, or green light to go, for these young illegal immigrants to make their way to the USA.

Why would Obama want these young illegal immigrants to successfully enter our country unlawfully?  Despicable as it can get, it is about politics, and yes, the administration is using poor children form impoverished nations as political pawns in Obama's effort to have Congress pass comprehensive immigration reform.

An example of this battle, and confirmation of the issue as part of this illegal immigrant invasion, can be found in the Crabtree article.

White House spokesman  Josh Earnest on Tuesday told reporters that the broad immigration measure the Senate passed last year included even more border security funds than the president's supplemental request. “Unfortunately, it's Republicans, many of them from Texas, who are blocking the House from considering that common-sense, bipartisan proposal that would make an additional historic investment in the border,” he said.

Apparently, the problems associated with this orchestrated event will be solved if Obama and his progressive champions of amnesty can get their bill passed. I think securing the border with a fence, one Obama mocked opponents lying about being 90% completed, would be beneficial.

Lies, lies and more lies:



“This is a humanitarian crisis but it's largely the result of the impression that the president isn't interested in enforcing the law, which has made [the United States] a magnet for illegal immigration,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told reporters.

Obama and his advisers saw this event as an opportunity to allow these immigrants to enter the US while falsely claiming to be caught off guard.

With all these kids here, pulling on the heart strings of Americans who want no harm to come to these children, the administration surmises they can ultimately allow these illegal immigrants to stay, partially accomplishing the sought after pieces of the immigration reform bill where anticipated opposition was too strong.

The system, the one Obama is in charge of, is ill-equipped to deal with a surge of illegal immigrants by design, well recognized as part of the Cloward and Piven Strategy of crashing the system.

While much of the focus, directed by the biased mainstream media outlets, is on the children, the sustained surge of illegal immigrants arriving in America will unleash a myriad of consequences, some anticipated and some unforeseen, with the potential of some very destructive outcomes.

Information regarding the immigrants, being housed at various facilities in multiple locations and states, is significantly limited, due in part to a described "right of privacy of the children".  Threats of arrest for those in violation of rules of disclosure have been issued; this coming from Obama's self described most transparent administration in history.

US Senators and Congressional members, who have requested the opportunity to visit facilites, have been turned away and denied access.  Photographs are prohibited.  These are the peoples representatives, and the people have very right to know what is taking place, but Obama has denied us that opportunity.

Diseases, inclusive of Tuberculosis, which is a very serious health issue, have been reported.  Allowing individuals with serious health issues into our nation without proper medical supervision endangers our citizenry.  Therefore, whoever instigated and participated in bringing these individuals into our country potentially exposing our citizenry are guilty placing the American citizenry at risk, but potentially creating the environment for the spreading of these diseases.

With the administration having advertised the opportunity for minors to enter the US they are guilty of enticing human trafficking and placing minors in dangerous, and potentially deadly, situations.  In addition, they have violated the current immigration laws.

The most significant and destructive result of an open border is the potential for terrorists to make their way unabated into the US.  As reported by Rush Limbaugh, "The general in charge of US Southern Command says America's porous southern border poses as much a threat as any foreign power, with gangs and terrorist groups hiding among the tidal wave of illegals."

Many of the teenagers entering the US in this surge are members of MS-13, a deadly drug gang already entrenched in areas of Texas, Arizona and Southern California.  Individuals with extensive criminal records; none are being checked among this group of illegal immigrants, should not be allowed in the country.  Two editorials in Investors Business Daily, HERE and HERE, elaborate on the extensive issues in this regard.

Since it is expected, as the administration projected, these illegal immigrants will not be sent home, a significant system shock will be forthcoming.  This will overwhelm many of the communities in which the immigrants are placed, which again, akin the passing game in the Cloward-Piven playbook.
School systems, governmental services, fire and police will be taxed to maintain adequate levels of efficiency.

By design.

From a political perspective, the immigrants are almost certain to carry the progressive Democrat banner, demonstrated by some wearing Obama shoes on their way in.  What a despicable act to gain voters, but I guess the win by any means crowd must go that way since they cannot win simply on the battlefield of ideas.

Although everyone in the administration is playing the game, this is not a political game.  In fact, this effort to gain political ground is dangerous, potentially deadly dangerous.

In large measure to the orchestrated efforts of President Obama, the United States is quickly becoming a nation with open borders.  A country without borders is not a country.

Obama has been quite lawless in his two terms, operating in violation of the Constitution on many occasions, has given Congress several adequate avenues for impeachment.  In contrast to the left lunging editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, for this orchestrated immigration debacle endangering our citizenry on varying levels, the President could and should be impeached.

No Doubt

No doubt.

 

That is my usual reaction each day after reading the brilliant editorial cartoons of Michael Ramirez of Investors Business Daily.

 

Are you reading IBD?  You should be.

 

In IBD, beyond the magnificent coverage of the capital markets and their proprietary stock evaluation tools, you will read in the best editorial page going "what is really going on".  In addition, you will find the exemplary work of Michael Ramirez.

 

This past week, Ramirez has been rockin, presenting profound and ingenious reflections on events of the week as only he can.  Please take a look at these, along with our limited commentary.

 

 

The media, a national disgrace these days, no longer hides their bias toward the Obama administration and the progressive ideology.  It would be laughable if the results of this bias were not having such a negative effect on our nation.  The ever increasing legions of low information voters are easily persuaded, particularly after cleverly placed first impressions, by packaged propaganda.  As Ronald Reagan once said, the trouble with our friends on the left is they know so much that isn't so.  We can blame in large measure the criminally complicit news media for the lack of political knowledge of those citizens who have failed in their responsibility as citizens to stay adequately informed.

 

Certainly, the progressive Democrats are no fans of those who claim to be among the members of the Tea Party.  After all, Tea Party members seek adherence to our Constitution, limited government, fiscal responsibility and power to the people in direct contrast to the big government elitists who aim to control citizen behavior for the common good as they know better.  Sadly, a large portion of the GOP is in lockstep with the progressives, longing for the day when they can yield their power.  Any doubt of this should have departed following the grotesque political events from Mississippi this week.  The GOP will not attack the left, most notably President Obama, who are destroying our nation as founded, but due their thirst for power, will firebomb Conservatives with wreckless abandon.  John Adams and the gang would be peeved to say the least. 

 

Let's get ready for Hillary.  The coronation of Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president is in full swing with her embarking on a book tour in various cities complete with meet and greets.  The book has been a flop, and there have been several missteps by Ms. Clinton along the tour.  The book is titled "Hard Choices", but as I see it, she has not made any.  Ms. Clinton is presented as among the most accomplished women in history, but this is complete nonsense and a slap to the face of Babe Didrikson Zaharias.  Clinton won a NY Senate seat, although she was not a resident of the state, and has little to no legislative marks to her credit.  Her tenure as Secretary of State was horrendous, beginning with a "reset" debacle with Russia to the scandalous and despicable events of Benghazi.  Due to the media love affair with this women, second only to that of another of limited accomplishment in Obama, many in America have a high approval rating of Hillary.  In truth, she is a Saul Alinsky disciple, and admirer of Frances Fox Piven and Margaret Sanger, and someone who like Obama does not see America in the way that you do.  In fact, she is an empty pantsuit with very little accomplishment having made no hard choices.  Ask Christopher Stevens.

We All Want To See The Plan

When conservatives are in power, government strives to cultivate free markets and empower the individual with limited taxation and regulation.  In the spirit of Adam Smith, a moral compass is a requirement for optimal market efficiency, with those who violate common decency guidelines quickly defeated in the open market.

With progressives in positions of power, due to perceived lack of confidence in the individual, government seeks, in the name of seemingly good ideas and worthwhile initiatives, to diminish individual power and freedom by increasing the role of government in the marketplace.

An illustrative example may be identified on this day while many celebrated Earth Day.  Seemingly worthwhile and innocent regulatory actions for the perceived good of the environment actually place increasing limitations individual property rights and escalate numerous forms of costs for property owners.

Another example is an extremely nefarious piece of legislation, seemingly vague and harmless in its cloaking presentation, which if passed, will challenge our Constitutional rights by an endless erosion of the rights of free speech.

The piece of legislation, “The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014″ (S.2219), is sponsored, in their arrogance, by Democrats Ed Markey of Massachusetts in the Senate and Hakeem Jeffries of New York in the House of Representatives.  The bill seeks:

"To require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to update a report on the role of telecommunications, including the Internet, in the commission of hate crimes".

Let us look at the opening sentence of the bill we outlined above. Who is the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and what would be considered their mission statement?  Why not, let us check Wikipedia.

In review of the stated goals of the agency, while much of it seems unnecessary, it follows a logical process for our government during these times with respect to utilization and growth of global communications. Investigatory actions with respect to any form of criminology was not identified within the agency tasks and they appear to have no such legal authority.

So, exactly why are we attempting to travel down this road? Are these two legislators seeking additional power for their personal resumes or are they sponsoring legislation as a front tentacle for a web of enacting widespread governmental control over what is exactly able to be communicated over the Internet?  The distinctions are critically important.

Tying their bill to this week's alleged white supremacist shootings in Kansas, Markey says it is "critical to ensure the internet, television and radio are not encouraging hate crimes or hate speech." He brushes aside expected First Amendment arguments, saying "criminal and hateful activity" aren't covered by the Constitution. HT/Inside Radio.

At quick glance, the bill seems to have merit. After all, who does not want individuals who engage in the commission of hate crimes to be punished to the fullest extent of the law?

However, if law, it would allow a non-elected bureaucrat to cast a wide net in search of such violators, trampling over the first amendment rights of the citizenry in a typical progressive power grab. However, with progressives, as we have learned all too well, the issue is never the issue, and this legislation is no different.

Those who recognize what is actually at play here are appalled by the legislation, including political pundits from opposing sides, ranging from Alan Colmes to Glenn Beck.

The legislation is a back door attack on freedom of speech and an attempt to eliminate the power of the first amendment so that political opponents can be silenced.  The administration is working this angle from many fronts, most notably through the IRS, one of many current scandals engulfing the administration.

Think I am kidding?


Mark Lloyd

We need to take a moment to learn more about an early appointee by President Obama, Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd.  Investors Business Daily, in an editorial in August of 2009, accurately depicted Lloyd as a disciple of Saul Alinsky and a great admirer of Hugo Chavez, who silenced freedom of speech as a dictator in Venezuela.  SOS Venezuela!

IBD references Glenn Beck, who points out Lloyd, in his 2006 book, "Prologue to a Farce: Communication and Democracy in America," wrote: "It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. ... This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. ... At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies."

Alarmed yet? With Lloyd unleashed to implement his ideas, we would have the Fairness Doctrine on steroids.

David Horowitz, over at his Discover the Networks website, noted the following regarding Lloyd:

*Seeks to use "diversity" and "localism" as pretexts for shifting the political balance of talk-radio programming leftward.
*Suggests that private broadcasters should pay an annual licensing fee in an amount equivalent to their total yearly operating costs; that money, in turn, should be redistributed to public broadcasting stations.
*Opposes virtually any private ownership of media.
*Disciple of Saul Alinsky's tactics for revolutionary social change.
* Greatly admires Venezuela's Marxist President, Hugo Chavez.

So, we can conclude that, with respect to media operations, Lloyd much prefers governmental control of media outlets, vehemently opposing media outlets operating in the private sector. And much like his mentor Hugo Chavez, Lloyd thinks the government should determine what can be voiced or written on the said media outlets.

Would Lloyd, and those charged with implementation of the Markey-Jeffries bill, apply equal governance over The Huffinton Post as they would The Drudge Report?  As John Lennon of The Beatles wrote in Revolution, "well, you know, we'd all love to see the plan".  TRUST NO ONE!

The shooting Senator Markey referred to in Kansas City was undertaken by a deranged individual, who was white supremacist.  His antics had nothing to do with what radio station he listened to, or which political figure he admired.  He was not a man of principle and character, but an individaul who violated the law and must be judged by a jury of his peers.  God will be the ultimate judge.

Senator Markey utilizing this crime as a motive for him crafting the bill is a smokescreen.  While the bill itself seeks to contain the first amendment, tying the Kansas City shooting to it places cards on the table in the effort to increase gun control, an attack on the second amendment.

These progressive elites think their thought processes, enacted in governance, are superior to those of our founding fathers.  Imagine, for a moment, the arrogance.

Those seeking to curtail freedom of speech, as has been the case throughout history, are opponents of liberty.  In most cases, these efforts were masked under some presentation of the action having been implemented for some greater good.  Historically, it has worked oh so well.

HT/Tea Party Command Center

Senator Markey and Representative Jeffries, likely under direction of others, moved forward with the bill as one of many avenues to attack the first amendment.  I will let you decide if you think they fail to see the "real plan" or are among the players who are actively seeking limitations of your freedoms outlined in the Constitution.

I have seen the plan. I'll go with the latter.

See The Sign

Here's your sign.

Comedian Bill Engvall tells the story of approaching the airline luggage counter to inform the staff that his luggage is lost.  The airline staff member asked Engvall if his plane had landed. "No, I am having an out of body experience" relied Engvall.  "Here's your sign".

One would think Americans, no matter the side of the political aisle they tend to gather, would demand answers when four patriots, including a US Ambassador, were murdered in a terrorist attack.

They do.

However, a percentage of Americans exist that only want answers to these type of questions if the representative for the other party is in charge.  Here's your sign.  That is very sad commentary, and is an example of folks who are limited in principles and character. 

While most would be appalled to learn of this behavior, it is particularly distressing to learn that media members are actively engaged in a coverup of the aforementioned events in Benghazi.  Not only is news regarding Benghazi being selectively presented on the mainstream networks, but editorial columnists are cheerleading the lack of transparency and suppression of the facts by the Obama administration and the complicit news media.

Enter Dana Milbank, and a recent editorial from the left in Investors Business Daily. Here's you sign.

I must have missed all the legitimate inquiries over Benghazi having been adequately answered, because according to Milbank, all efforts by House Republicans to get answers are a complete waste of time. 

I obviously missed a change in what I considered to be the elusive transparency President Obama claimed his administration would have.  I guess all those documents have been turned over to the investigating committee, and everyone performed admirably.

Well, I did not miss a damn thing.

Milbank hopes his ridiculing editorials, combined with media outlets biased coverage of what little information the investigating committee has gathered versus the stonewalling, misleading evidence  and lack of transparency, will steer the public away from demanding answers.

Odds may favor Milbank and his teammates, but here is your sign.

What kind of people do not want answers when four Americans are killed?  What type of individuals would seek to suppress information in an effort to protect officials just because they are members of their team?

Here is a sign

When it comes to dereliction of duty, or the covering up of gun running, I could care less what political party the officials in charge are from.  In America, we have laws and principles we live by, and those who violate the public trust in this regard must be held accountable.

Not in the minds of the progressives currently in charge.  They are running the Alinksy model on all cylinders.  Ridicule your opponents, fire out misinformation, lie so often the truth becomes murky and win the day by any means necessary.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.  Here is another sign.  No out of body experience needed.

Dealbreaker

Michael Ramirez/Investors Business Daily
 

Contrary to what is being spun by the lamestream media darlings who shower the citizenry with volumes of propaganda in support of their anointed leader, when the President of the United States blatantly lies to the American people regarding proposed legislation only as a bait and switch to implement a government program which limits choice and freedom, it is in fact a big fucking deal.

It boggles the mind to think under what mindset Obama was able to convince a majority of the voting public to support him in his effort for re-election, but there is little doubt Obama would have been unsuccessful if the voters knew now what they should have known then.

Shame on them for not taking the responsibility as a citizen to adequately assess the candidates. But for the sitting President to act in such deception of governance, and this is going on in many levels from Bengahzi to sanction negotiations with Iran, the assessment of being a liar transitions to potential articles of impeachment, for which we have previously called for.

No quarter will be provided for the Obamacare Dozen, a group of Democrats seeking delay of the individual mandate because their re-election is now looking shaky. Each and every single one of these morons, and I'll add Sen. Diane Feinstein (D:CA) to the list, supported Obamacare and welcomed the opportunity for federal government bureaucrats to make health care decisions for you in your stead because of your ignorance on governing yourself.

The same goes for Hillary Clinton.  Today, Bill Clinton weighed in on the situation suggesting Obama make some adjustments, but this is simply cover for Hillary 2016, as both of the Clinton's firmly supported Obamacare.

It should be understood thoroughly that any efforts from Democrats at this juncture to fix or delay the law is only presented to enhance their political position for the next election and does not come from a position change on the law.

It is worth noting that those who created the problem are rarely those who should be charged with fixing the problem.

An editorial in Investors Business Daily notes All These Lies And Incompetence, Too, but the truth is  this entire affair was all by design, including orchestration of the failed roll out.  These people are not operating nincompoops; they wish for there to be chaos causing a worried public to seek help from an all to willing government to further increase power and control over the citizenry.

With respect to Obamacare, it is the single payer system that is the goal, and with a distraught and frightened public, it will sadly arrive much sooner than originally thought.  The only hope is for the Congress to reassert their power and put the Commander in Overreach back in his proper place.

Sadly, with a untrustworthy candidate spewing lies left and right, the voters failed to accomplish that.

A Lie Cannot Live

Fifty years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr. stood at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and delivered among the most revered speeches in our nations history; his "I Have A Dream" speech.

Martin Luther King Jr./PHOTO gmzchoir.com

King, an American hero in the highest regard, would no doubt be pleased at many levels of the progress in terms of racial discrimination he spearheaded.  The approach taken by King, exhibiting his Christian beliefs engaging in non violent and respectful action adhering to the rule of law, is a case study of leading by example.

Sadly, as we have noted, many of those who claim to follow in his footsteps commonly take action in violation of the very principles King championed.  These are actions in contrast of a King.

King would no doubt be appalled at the hijacking of his legacy by those who passionately ask the black community to embrace entitlements and victimhood.  Equal diginity, King would say. King sought an even playing field for everyone to have the same opportunities to live the American dream, not wealth transfer or reparations.  King sought free market solutions, not reward without the dignity of hard work.

Certainly, the issue in the black community would deeply sadden King the most is the breakdown of the family unit, which King thought imperative to solidify the future of our youth.

In events marking the anniversary today, appalling rhetoric was spoken, inclusive of Conservative Supreme Court Justices being compared to the KKK and former President Bill Clinton taking time out in promotion of Common Core and global climate change.

President Barack Obama, while presiding over the highest black unemployment in decades and escalating racial tension in part fueled by the despicable race baiting behavior of many in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin shooting including Obama,  remarked how King would be on board with the job killing legislation of Obamacare.

Dr. Alveda King, King's niece, would strongly disagree, noting King was vehemently opposed to abortion and saw it as an evil attack on his community.  In fact, Margaret Sanger, the racist founder of Planned Parenthood, utilized abortion in hopes of eliminating blacks from the planet

How incredibly sad this day and the memory of Dr. King was marred in such fashion.  Interestingly enough, obviously due to politics, the nations only black Senator, Republican Tim Scott of South Carolina, was not invited to the festivities.

Dr. Benjamin Carson wrote an editorial in The Washington Times with some poignant points on the status of the black community while Investors Business Daily has a strong editorial in today's edition titled Princelings of Civil-Rights; how members of the movement corrupted MLK's 1963 dream.

The divisive redistributionist infiltrator of markets we currently find in the presidency fails to follow the dream all principled people shared with King.  The same can be said for those who seek to profit from race baiting and playing on the fears of victimhood.

MLK, in the name of love, changed the world with dignity.  It would serve us all, on this day, to implement the principles of freedom for all, judging every person on the content of the character, not the color of their skin. 

As Dr. Alveda King said, "A lie cannot live".

Truthful Issues & Insights

Although it may be a tall order to attract viewers given their anti-American stances, earlier today, Al Jazeera America launced in some 40 million homes through cable systems across America. The network is ambitious, hiring top talent, mostly from CNN, to become the face of the network here in the states.

The Hollywood Reporter, of all people, has a quick primer on the network.  The ownership is not fond of America, and has been supportive on and off the air of those who seek harm to Uncle Sam. 

For some reason; however, members of the left not only welcome, but push it as the place to get non biased, "real news".  This includes Hillary Clinton, who is currently engaged in some sort of coronation for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The majority of the major cable outlets welcome Al-Jazeera, and all voices should be welcomed.  Of course, these same companies have for the most part rejected efforts by The Blaze, an American company, to be included on their systems.  Bias at play? Count on it.

Any information presented by Al-Jazeera should be absorbed with caution.  This is true for any new source, particularly the major news networks, whose portrayal of balance is non credible.  This includes blogs, including this one.  Information should be analyzed in order to formulate a sound basis for an opinion to be derived.

One of the top sources of information I utilize is Investors Business Daily.  I became a subscriber back in the early 1990's because William J. O'Neill had developed a proprietary stock evaluation system that was unrivaled.  Without question, pouring through the pages of IBD has been an invaluable tool for technical and fundamental analysis of stock performance.

However, over the years the editorial pages of IBD has become the top of the field, edging out the fine folks over at The Wall Street Journal.  The IBD editorial page allows the reader to find out what is really going on, something not found in most major newspapers or network or cable news. They say it like it is.

IBD offers no quarter to those who aim ill will against the freedom and prosperity of the United States, and that is an effort I can subscribe to.  The following is a sample of articles over the last few days, opinions based on facts presented for your consumption and evaluation, for your review.

Investors Business Daily

From our founding, we are a nation of laws, not men. Although there have been a multitude of missteps, we have always strived to operate beholden to the rule of law and a code of ethics.  This philosophy is not a tenant in the Obama administration, which if you get news from the mainstream media you may be unaware of.  IBD makes the case, noting Obama's Legacy Of Lawlessness.

Among the falsities being promulgated by the administration is that the onslaught of scandals engulfing the Obama administration are phony, but most everyone recognizes how deceitful and disrespectful that commentary is.  IBD won't assist in letting these scandals die, and has a piece about That "Phony" Fast And Furious Scandal.

America is waking up, and the Obama administration if quite fearful that everyone is about to recognize what an actual fraud Obama is.  To that extent, everyone who legally criticizes Commander Thin Skin must be publicly admonished, including a rodeo clown in Missouri.  Yeah, a rodeo clown. IBD comes out In Defense Of Rodeo Clowns in an editorial by Pulitzer Prize winning Cartoonist Michael Ramirez.

 



Mark Steyn

With the NSA scandal, not so phony at all, exploding down a rat hole of unlawful government activity, Americans from all factions of political arenas are quite concerned.  Guest columnist Mark Steyn, a true treasure, expresses a viewpoint that the Glum Fact Of Life Today: Our Privacy Is Vanishing.  It is vanishing in much more rapid fashion than you realize, and before it is too late, you should know the facts.

Analysis from the left and right is presented on a daily basis, and you should read each one to gain perspective regarding what those who see the world opposite of you are thinking and feeling.  Knowledge is power; right?

Eugene Robinson

Eugene Robinson, of The Washington Post, writes from the left that Obama Needs To Speak Truth About Egypt.  Robinson is an Obama guy, but he seems to understand the importance of the rule of law in our country. For Robinson to insinuate the truth is missing regarding this subject speaks volumes.  I cannot recall thinking, much less writing this, but Robinson is on point in this editorial.


Larry Kudlow

Lawrence Kudlow, a favorite of BAHL Revere, often offers economic commentary from the right in IBD.  Although I have a degree in Economics and find it most interesting, most folks do not. But it is vitally important for our citizens to have a basic understanding of how the economy ticks and what policies enhance economic growth which benefits our citizenry.  Kudlow, host of The Kudlow Report on CNBC, writes that the Obama History Of Economy Is But A Fairy Tale.

The crisis is Egypt is under reported in the mainstream media, but not at IBD.  In fact, not only are we being lied to about the severity of situation as it stands, but what actually was a trigger point for causing the crisis in the first place.  You guessed it, You Can Thank Obama's Ego For The Carnage and Crisis in Egypt.

Amidst all the anger and horror, could you imagine who is actually being blamed and targeted?  You won't find that information in the mainstream media, or Al-Jerzerra, but while the world is mum, IBD informs you The Muslim Brotherhood Targets Coptic Christians in Egypt.

Investors Business Daily is a reliable source for inquisitive readers to gain a solid perspective on the economic and geopolitical events that, while not commonly considered, do have a major effect on the everyday lives of our citizenry.

Middle East Web of Weaponry

At this moment, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says signs point to Syria using weapons of mass destruction, in this case chemical weapons, on their own people. The uprising in Syria, in large measure, has been regrettably aided by The United States in levels extending beyond appeasement.

Larry Kudlow of CNBC chats with John Batchelor on the Syrian crisis.



Starting with speeches around the world proclaiming the transgressions of America, President Obama set out to right these perceived wrongs. As part of this effort, Obama implemented uprisings in the middle east, toppling enemies we knew for those unknown, as least by most. Although Obama spoke publicly about the enhanced chances for democracy and freedom, Obama privately knew those positioned to fill the vacuum, the Muslim Brotherhood, would advocate, or install by force, Shari-ah Law, as is currently the case in Egypt.

But let us regress. Although Syria has a weapons program, are the majority of the weapons of mass destruction currently possessed by Syria the same weapons we never found in Iraq?

Indeed they are.

No longer politically expedient to admonish George W. Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought.

The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it.

Although I remain incensed regarding the antics used by the opponents of President Bush, most notably regarding the propaganda regrading the weapons, the discussion pales in comparison to what is happening now.

Benghazi, who most Americans think is some folk singer, should have been a story that would detonate and destroy the Obama administration.  There was supposed to be a presser by a handful of Republicans, however, these GOP members snatched defeat from the jaws of victory as they did not want to seem as playing politics and not caring for the victims as super storm Sandy slapped the northeast.

However, the events in Benghazi supersede politics. Four Americans, including our Ambassador to Egypt and two NAVY Seals, were murdered. The Ambassador, and the Seals, requested help on various occasions but were turned down.  Although many have called out Obama on this horrendous act of war against the Untied States, perhaps the commentary by Jeanine Piro on FOX News Channel hit him the hardest, and appropriately so.

As previously noted on the blog, Ambassador Stevens, who inexplicably was meeting with a Turkish contact in a dangerous area outside of our embassy, is thought to have been working to secure weapons.  The weapons Stephens is thought to have been attempting to corral are weapons the United States, under Obama, had been supplying rebels in Egypt and Libya.

Recent reports, including from The New York Times, give confirmation of the central theme of the story, which is gun running by the Obama administration.  Although not an optimal source, some strong information on this subject can be found over at blog site Lame Cherry.  Regrettably, these weapons have gotten loose and have fallen into hands of those who aim America harm. Imagine that.

Although the issues surrounding Benghazi, in which a US Ambassador was murdered for the first time in over 30 years and an administration appears to be running guns seemingly without Congressional approval, seems to be a story which would dwarf Watergate, apparently no journalists are interested in winning a Pulitzer Prize.

On the heels of winning the election, the Obama administration is embolden by a new found sense of arrogance.  With a complicit media in their hip pocket, why should they worry?  What could happen with some weapons, perhaps some of mass destruction, loose in the hands of Al-Queda, Hamas or other groups or countries who wish us harm?

Well, take a listen to Dennis Kucinich (D:OH), of all people, who is asking some very alarming questions and not getting any answers:



This was a debate needed at the time in 2011, and one critically needed right now.  Kucinich rhetorically asked who should be held accountable, and the answer is President Obama.

Unfortunately, the media is criminally negligent in coverage of the Obama administration.  The Democrats are in support of the actions of Obama, as are the Progressives in both parties, who have been working toward reducing the superpower status of the US for quite some time.  The GOP members in strong opposition are few in numbers and fearful of being labeled an extremist.  See Rep. Allen West, (R:FL).

It is far time for someone to step forward, and take on those in power.

This type of thing used to be a big deal, for I recall missing General Hospital for days on end while a Congressional panel hammered Col. Oliver North.  However, while America wonders who is on the next Dancing With The Stars cast and enjoying the ever expanding entitlements coming their way, lies are being presented as truth, unrecognizable to the "low information voters" who re-elected Obama.

I hope and pray America, and the media, wake up before a catastrophic tragedy occurs.  While the likelihood of such en event favors a financial issue, that may be welcomed against the possibility of a weapon of mass destruction altering life in America forever.

Should such an event occur, while Kucinich wonders whose fault it would be, I would have no doubt who to hold to accountability.
