America’s Problem Is The ‘Self-Induced Weakness’ Of nObama
(Washington Times) - Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton predicted a dire year for the United States in 2015, at least when it comes to foreign affairs...And he’s not alone in that assessment: Retired Gen. Bob Scales saw the same for the coming year, Newsmax reported. “I think the long shadow of Iraq will cast itself well into 2015,” Mr. Scales said during a recent interview on “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren” on Fox News. “And then there is the other issue, God forbid, what happened in Iraq is going to happen in Afghanistan when, perhaps, we pull out again precipitously. The future, frankly, is not too bright.” http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/dec/31/john-bolton-america-biggest-problem-obama/#ixzz3NUgjeD7P - See more at: http://www.teaparty.org/john-bolton-americas-biggest-problem-self-induced-weakness-team-obama-75037/#sthash.UdXbhzrY.dpuf

The WaPo is Suddenly Terrified of Executive Orders... And Cruz
(Michael Schaus) - It was as if the editorial board over at the Washington Post suddenly stopped what they were doing, looked up from their work, and dropped their jaws as a (rare) coherent thought suddenly manifested inside their collective brains... “Wait a minute…” they muttered, as the thought of Obama using executive action played over and over again in their minds. “If he can change the law unilaterally,” a gradual expression of horror engulfed their faces, “then if Republicans end up winning in 2016, they could just -- ” I imagine the rest of that thought was almost unbearable for the liberal clones of Ezra Klein to articulate. But they did manage to spell it out in an Editorial: http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/michaelschaus/2015/01/02/the-wapo-is-suddenly-terrified-of-executive-actions-and-ted-cruz-n1937870?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

nObama ‘Tried to Romance Putin and He Got Date-Raped’
( By Matthew Burke) - “I’m going to put it bluntly: nObama thinks he can romance. He can romance Cuba. He wants to romance Iran. You know he tried to romance Putin and got date raped...This is a president who after six years is astonishingly willfully naive, self-adoring, ineffective…” Peters continued, sharply criticizing taxpayer-funded NPR’s softball interview with nObama, an interview which nObama amazingly contended that the country has become less racially divided, along with other outlandish claims that went completely unchallenged. http://www.tpnn.com/2014/12/31/boom-lt-col-ralph-peters-obama-tried-to-romance-putin-and-he-got-date-raped/

France Betrays Israel —- Again
(By Ari Lieberman) - Perform a Google search for the term “surrender monkey” and the unsurprising results place France as the country most closely associated with that pejorative term. In fact, it is the only country associated with that term and for good reason...France is a nation of capitulation. Whether in war or politics, the French have a demonstrated history of surrender and have mastered the art of back-stabbing. Their recent “yes” vote concerning statehood recognition for “Palestine” at the Security Council is consistent with their ignominious tradition of capitulation and perfidy. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/ari-lieberman/france-betrays-israel-again/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=202d7c5ecb-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-202d7c5ecb-156509103

The ‘Good War’ nObama Surrendered
(By Arnold Ahlert) - On Christmas Day at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, followed by a White House press release on Dec. 28, President nObama announced the end of the war in Afghanistan... “We’ve been in continuous war now for almost thirteen years—over 13 years,” he said, “and next week we will be ending our combat mission in Afghanistan. Obviously, because of the extraordinary service of the men and women in the American armed forces, Afghanistan has a chance to rebuild its own country. We are safer. It’s not going to be a source of terrorist attacks again,” he added. If that message sounds familiar, it’s because virtually the same message was delivered on Dec. 14, 2011 at Fort Bragg, NC. That’s when nObama announced that “America’s war in Iraq will be over” and that “we’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant” nation. That would be the same Iraq where, swiftly after nObama’s precipitous military withdrawal, Islamic militants embarked on a barbaric campaign of terror, seizing large swaths of Iraqi territory and wiping out much of the security gains achieved through the loss of thousands of American lives in that country. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/arnold-ahlert/the-good-war-obama-surrendered/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=202d7c5ecb-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-202d7c5ecb-156509103

Filmmaker Says He Found Hitler's Secret A-Bomb Facility
(By John Blosser) - A massive 75-acre underground factory complex, built by slave laborers and sealed with concrete by the Austrian government, has been discovered by Austrian filmmaker Andreas Sulzer...who believes it may be the secret site of Hitler's drive to make the world's first atomic bomb, The Washington Post reports. The complex is located in St. Georgen an der Gusen, a tiny village of 4,000 and once the site of the Mathausen-Gusen concentration camp. Up to 320,000 prisoners from the camp, used as slave laborers, are believed to have died constructing the underground factory, connected to the B8 Bergkristall underground factory where the Nazis built the world's first jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me 262, near the end of the war, the Post reported. http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Andreas-Sulzer-WWII-Hitler-atomic-bomb/2014/12/30/id/615584/?ns_mail_uid=29878495&ns_mail_job=1601793_01022015&s=al&dkt_nbr=6g5zkxy7

Montana’s Largest Newspaper Admits “We Were Wrong”
(fixthisnation.com) - After endorsing him for President in 2008, the Billings-based Gazette – Montana’s largest newspaper – has admitted that they were off the mark in supporting Barack nObama and have been proven wrong by the last six years of history...As part of a June 27th editorial, the paper said, “Sometimes, you have to admit you’re wrong. And, we were wrong.” An unusual move for a newspaper to make, the Gazette’s editors felt they had no choice but to apologize for endorsing a young candidate who has been at the center of several scandals (Benghazi, the IRS, Iraq) as well as a President who has done little to make progress on his most important campaign promises. The latter is actually great news for anyone who doesn’t want to see the country slide into a liberal swamp, but it’s understandable that the Gazette would not see things this way. http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/montanas-largest-newspaper-admits-we-were-wrong-on-obama/

“Rapprochement” aside, Egypt and Qatar remain rivals
(Oren Kessler , David Andrew Weinberg) - Egypt and Qatar want the world to know they’re friends again. Over the last week, Cairo sacked a hardline anti-Islamist intelligence chief...Doha suspended its pro-Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian channel, and officials from both sides took turns singing the other's praises. Don’t be fooled, however: as long as Doha and Cairo have fundamentally-opposed regional agendas, they’ll be able to agree to little more than ad hoc concessions and empty gestures. The long-simmering bad blood came to a boil last year with the Egyptian military’s overthrow of the elected Islamist government of Mohamed Morsi. For its part, Qatar supports the Brotherhood and other Islamists region-wide, stoking the ire not just of Cairo but also of other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, wary as they are of extremists within their borders. http://defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/oren-kessler-rapprochement-aside-egypt-and-qatar-remain-rivals/

(By Jordan Schachtel) - Multiple Iraqi and Kurdish media sources have claimed that some Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Mosul, Iraq, have contracted the deadly Ebola virus, Mashable reports...The Iraqi outlets reportedly claimed that Ebola had started to spread in a Mosul hospital. The city, known as ISIS’s most important strategic stronghold in Iraq, has been under the control of the Islamic State since June. Christy Feig, the World Health Organization (WHO) director of communications, told Mashable, “We have no official notification from the Iraqi government that it is Ebola.” She said that WHO had reached out to authorities and asked if they needed help investigating the matter. http://www.breitbart.com/ebola/2015/01/01/iraqi-and-kurdish-media-reports-isis-fighters-have-contracted-ebola/

ISIS: The Best Terror Threat U.S. Tax Money Can Buy
(By Alex Newman) - The self-styled “Islamic State,” the gaggle of medieval savages and barbarians often referred to as ISIS or ISIL, is now infamous worldwide for its unrestrained brutality...The al-Qaeda offshoot exploded onto the scene in 2014 amid its gruesome and bloody effort to build an Islamic “Caliphate,” exterminate “apostates,” and overthrow the “apostate” regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. America and the West are supposedly next — at least that is what the public is being told. Ever since ISIS emerged seemingly out of nowhere, Americans and people around the globe have been treated to a steady TV diet of beheadings, massacres, crucifixions, and other unspeakable horrors perpetrated by the group. Even young children, whose only “crime” was professing faith in Jesus Christ, have been butchered in the most grotesque ways imaginable by the terror outfit. Eventually, ISIS leaders claim, the whole world will submit to the Islamic god, Allah, and his caliph on Earth, a mystery man who goes by the name “Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi” and was once detained in the U.S.-run prison Camp Bucca in Iraq. http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/19824-isis-the-best-terror-threat-u-s-tax-money-can-buy?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=4dfd8b8104-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-4dfd8b8104-289778381
Prelutsky Vs. Gallup
Burt Prelutsky
(burtprelutsky.com) - I'm wondering if I should become a professional pollster. For one thing, it must pay quite well, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people doing it. For another, whereas I trust my results, I’m not so sure about those other guys because they tend to be paid by people with a vested interest in the results, whereas I’m just a chap cursed with the curiosity of a cat.
I mean, am I really expected to believe Gallup when he insists that 47% of Americans still think nObama is doing a bang-up job? Really? Is that why his party has lost 14 seats in the Senate and another 70 or so in the House over the past four years, along with several governorships and a slew of state legislatures? It’s certainly not because the voters have been mesmerized by those two dullards, backstabber John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
Also, unlike some people, I don’t make my poll questions tricky. When I want to know which of the Fox News hosts and contributors my readers like and hate the most, I don’t pussyfoot around. I just ask them and they tell me.
What surprised me the most is that 35 different people at Fox were somebody’s favorite and 17 were judged the most obnoxious. Interestingly, there were eight names that showed up on both lists.
There were five who achieved double digits on the Favorites list: Megyn Kelly, 49, Bret Baier, 31, Charles Krauthammer, 26, Jeanine Pirro, 13, and Greg Gutfeld, 11.
They were followed by Neil Cavuto, 9, Bill O’Reilly, 9, Brit Hume, 6, Bernie Goldberg, 5, Andrea Tantaros, 5, Sean Hannity, 5, Chris Wallace, 4, and Dana Perino, 4.
Catherine Herridge, Harris Faulkner, Molly Line, Laura Ingraham, Greta Van Susteren, Steve Hayes, Ed Henry, Bill Hemmer, Jon Scott, Anna Kooiman, Ann Coulter, David Hunt, Shepard Smith, Jedediah Bila, Steve Ducey, Kimberly Guilfoyle, John Stossel, Kristen Powers, John Bolton, Andrew Napolitano, Ralph Peters and Lou Dobbs, all received one, two or three votes.
When it came to the worst of Fox’s talking heads, it was no contest. Juan Williams led the pack with 72 votes. He was followed by Alan Colmes, 33, Bob Beckel, 29, Geraldo Rivera, 23, Bill O’Reilly, 14 and Shepard Smith, 11.
Those receiving between one and four votes were James Carville, Megyn Kelly, Karl Rove, Kirsten Powers, Martha McCallum, Greg Gutfeld, Laura Ingraham, Eric Bolling, Bill Hemmer, Leslie Marshall and Sean Hannity.
One voter mentioned that he had a separate list that mentioned Dick Morris and Marc Lamont Hill as the two people he was happiest to see gone from Fox.
Because I have pretty much limited my Fox viewing to Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly during the week and Chris Wallace and Howard Kurtz on Sunday, I have to admit I had neither seen nor heard of some of the people on the lists.
For my part, although I would have a difficult time choosing between Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly as my favorite hosts, I’d have no problem casting a 71st vote for Juan Williams because as hard as I try to avoid nObama’s number one toady, he keeps popping up on both Baier’s and Chris Wallace’s panels.
If New York City was any other city, there would be a recall movement to dump Mayor Bill De Blasio, who kept referring to the human vermin calling for the killing of cops as peaceful demonstrators. But if New York City was any other city, a former community organizer would not have been elected with 73% of the votes.
In the aftermath of the killing of two cops -- one Hispanic, one Asian – by a black sociopath who had traveled from Baltimore to kill white cops, De Blasio paid lip service to the brave men and women of the NYPD. It reminded me of the liberals who would invariably claim to respect members of the military during the Iraq War, while simultaneously reviling their actions, which they deemed cold-blooded murder.
We hear such a constant refrain about poverty in America, especially when the Democrats start calling for a raise in the minimum wage or for additional tax dollars going to welfare that one might actually get the idea that Americans are starving to death. However, according to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Energy, those allegedly living at or below the poverty line have a great many items I suspect are missing from the homes of people who actually work for a living.
For instance, 92% have microwaves, 81% have air conditioning, 74% have a car or truck and 31% have two or more. Over 50% have VCRs, DVD players, cable or satellite TVs and/or video game systems. Thanks to the generosity of the American taxpayer, it’s no wonder that so many of these louts prefer staying home or, when the mood strikes, marching and chanting for blood in the streets.
If Time Magazine ever gets away from naming the Man or Woman of the Year and decides to devote a year-end issue to the Sucker of the Year, the honoree will be a middle class American wearing a barrel.
In a recent statement, nObama decided that North Korea’s cyber-attack on Sony wasn’t an act of war, but merely an act of vandalism. I imagine that if the schmuck had been president in 1941, he would have dismissed the attack on Pearl Harbor as a joint Japanese-American construction project intended to renovate the Hawaiian waterfront.
In the aftermath of the cyber-attack, North Korea’s own Internet connection went down. Kim Jong-un is boiling mad and has vowed to find out who was responsible for cutting the string between the two tin cans.
