D'SOUZA: Never have I seen a topic -- in this case, racism -- less experienced and more talked about. In other words -- when I was in college, the talk of racism was everywhere and the reality was, no one could find it. In fact, no matter who you talked to, you say, 'When is the last time it happened to you?' 'Oh, it didn't happen to me, but it's everywhere. It's everywhere.' So, after a while I realized what happen was the professor started talking about institutional racism. By which they meant, racism so invisible nobody knows where it...

Barack Obama is basically an enemy of America. Those who voted for him and those who manipulated the Republican primaries to insure a loser like Mitt Romney would be the GOP candidate to oppose him, have much to be ashamed of and much guilt to share. Obama has always been suspect in every aspect of his being from his fake life story to his devastating use of executive power to destroy our nation. Nevertheless, few among us could have predicted his treachery in the trade of five top level enemy commanders for a single soldier who willfully deserted and collaborated...

I hear talking heads and politicians calling for one man’s resignation over the VA’s delayed treatment of our military men and woman. I see them in front of any camera they can find, throwing around strong words of indignation and outrage concerning the scandal having been perpetrated, apparently for years, resulting in a minimum of 40 deaths to date. I hear no politicians offering the immediate steps necessary to serve our veterans. Conservative pundits, yes. Politicians, no. So how to solve the V. A. problem and end the unnecessary loss of life? First, immediately announce that all military personnel may...

This week, we learned that the President of the United States made an unprecedented and illegal decision to retrieve one soldier held captive as a POW, who most have dubbed a deserter, for five high-ranking Taliban Guantanamo prisoners, as some have pejoratively labeled the “Dream Team.” In a reckless and what can only be labeled a political move, the President violated the law by allowing the release of Guantanamo prisoners without notifying Congress thirty days in advance, as per the law that Obama, in fact, signed. This is an unconscionable act, which has grave consequences for our nation, since we...

An unbelievable moment in American history occurred in the White House Rose Garden when President Barack Obama smiled very perceptibly as Robert Bergdahl, father of Bowe, uttered the famous Islamic war cry of victory for Allah! Cliq on the video link below to watch an American president’s expression of glee as Bergdahl says: “bismillah-al-rahman-al-rahim.” This Arabic phrase meaning “in the name of Allah the most gracious, the most merciful,” was translated into English by Walid Shoebat, a Middle Eastern scholar who left the Islamic tradition and came to America, converting to Christianity. (1) “I’m your father, Bowe,” said Robert Bergdahl...

President Obama’s unilateral and dictatorial trade of the Taliban five for one US soldier who likely is a traitor was made with planning, forethought, and purpose, and might be the best chess move of his presidency—playing by his own rules. Five years and two days ago, Barack Obama gave a speech at Cairo University, in which he elocuted his desired goals and ends for the United States and his presidency. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars.  More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied...

I don’t often get nostalgic, but I have more than a suspicion that we’re being led by the nose into a “new normal”, like a frog being slowly boiled, we acclimate to our environment.  Taking a sniff of freshly squeezed garbage juice leaking from metal cans on a hot sidewalk is a good way to break the spell.  An equally retch-inducing way is to review all the reasons we have for getting rid of Barack Obama. This man deserves to be impeached more than any president, more than Andrew Johnson (who didn’t deserve it), Bill Clinton (who did), or...

These are the six American hero warriors who were killed searching for Bowe Bergdahl: PFC Matthew Michael Martinek, Staff Sgt. Kurt Robert Curtiss, SSG Clayton Bowen, PFC Morris Walker, SSG Michael Murphrey, 2LT Darryn Andrews. Eight more of our soldiers also were KIA searching for the missing Bergdahl according to Fox News. This is Part II of a reportedly on the ground account about what really happened that night the young man from Idaho slipped past America’s wire in Afghanistan. “Everyone was spun up to find this guy. News outlets all over the country were putting out FALSE INFORMATION.” (1)...

After approximately five years of captivity, Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the only American held prisoner by the Taliban, was released to the United States military in Afghanistan. The Taliban (Haqqani) agreed to return Bergdahl in exchange for five Afghan terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay. The agreement was negotiated in and mediated by Qatar. Obama ignored the nation’s longtime policy of not negotiating with terrorists in order to obtain Bergdahl’s release. In the deal, Qatar will take custody of the freed Taliban prisoners. Feeling confident that he knocked other scandals out of the headlines, Obama took his victory lap by pronouncing...

Dan from Squirrel Hill's Blog Maybe the real reason Obama smiled is because he recognized a quote from “The Empire Strikes Back” This video is titled “Watch Obama smile as soon as Robert Bergdahl praises Allah.”The description states:Walid and Theodore Shoebat say that while the Obama administration is proudly touting how it was able to free an American soldier who was captured by the Taliban, what no one picked is the fact that Obama SMILED as soon as he heard the most famous war cry of Islam, “bismillah al-rahman al-rahim,” Arabic for “in the name of Allah the most gracious, the...

“You want it from the horses’ mouth?? Here ya go,” says a Free Republic commenter speaking about the latest mainstream media darling, Bowe Bergdahl. Whether this is a factual account from someone actually on the scene with Bergdahl’s unit in Afghanistan is something readers must decide for themselves. But information gleaned from a growing number of sources must make Americans question the honor and veracity of Bowe Bergdahl and, at the very least, the judgment of Barack Obama. ”We were at OP Mest, Paktika Province, Afghanistan. It was a small outpost where B Co1-501st INF (Airborne) ran operations out of...

The information contained in this report comes from an obscure website and the narrator is not revealed. Readers are, of course, free to disregard this unsworn testimony, yet those who have served in our military will recognize the unmistakable tone of truth in its message. Here is the unedited text of the original article. “On June 30, 2009, Bowe Bergdahl went missing in Afghanistan. My unit within the US Special Operations Command along with a select few SOF units,were alerted to conduct a hostage rescue/recovery mission in Afghanistan. The A.O. (area of operation) had stood down upon receiving the intel...

NBC's Richard Engel says the Taliban is giving the media much more information about the Bergdahl swap than the U.S. government. Engel reports the U.S. government is updating journalists with written statements on the health of rescued POW Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. "The Taliban, however, have been very forthcoming with information," Engel said. "We're kind of dependent on press releases and whatever the White House and others decide to give us," MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski said. "This is tough to cover and to get the story." "We've actually been getting more information today from the Taliban than we have from spokespersons here...

Psst: David Gregory! You can stop auditioning to fill Jay Carney's White House spokesman spot. President Obama has already appointed someone else. Given his rotten Meet The Press ratings, it's understandable that Gregory would prospecting for his next position. Even so, his performance on today's Morning Joe was pitiable. With even liberals like Mika Brzezinski, Donny Deutsch and John Heilemann dumping on the Bergdahl deal, there was Gregory as President Obama's lone defender. Thus: Dianne Feinstein has criticized the lack of consultation? Meh: she's been critical of the Obama admin on other things. And twice Gregory made the argument that...

"Obama, when you've lost MAD magazine, you've lost America." That was the apt quote from one of Mad Magazine's readers commenting on their hard hitting parody about President Obama's trade of Bowe Bergdahl for five top Taliban leaders who had been incarcerated in Guantanamo. As you will see after the jump, Mad took a very dim view of the exchange. "Barack Obama's Unfortunate New Movie," was very different from the usual light-hearted humor you see in Mad:

The Washington Times’ Bill Gertz revealed last week in his “Inside the Ring” column that Barack Obama issued a directive, in 2010, to the Department of Defense allowing the use of the United States Military against American Citizens. (1) In a recent speech, Obama assured the audience that the nation should seek to avoid military misadventures abroad. A conspiracy theorist would see this as evidence that the Democratic Administration is planning to use the military against the American public instead. Anyone familiar with government documents is well aware of the devil being in the details and that it is often...

Put me down as not welcoming Sgt Bowe Bergdahl home. Before his traitorous walk this fake hero wrote his parents saying, “I AM ASHAMED TO EVEN BE AN AMERICAN.” His whole story stinks to high heaven. The trade of five top level enemy commanders for a real life Nicholas Brody just doesn’t pass the smell test. This “hero” Bowe Bergdahl walked over to the enemy’s side five years ago. They didn’t capture him. The Taliban welcomed him with open arms and good true American troops died searching for this fake. Barack Obama who in 2008, (when he needed to say...

Mullah Omar hails release of 5 top Taliban commanders as 'great victory' Mullah Omar, the reclusive head of the Taliban, has purportedly released a statement hailing the transfer of the top five Taliban commanders from Guantanamo to Qatar. Omar says their freedom is a "great victory." The five Taliban leaders were exchanged for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who has been held by the Taliban since 2009. A copy of the statement attributed to Omar has been posted on the Taliban's Urdu-language web site. Omar thanks the government of Qatar, as well as its emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad, for his help...
