Pull up a chair and a grab a notepad while our president lies on a couch and speaks of his father, his youth in Indonesia, and the evils of western colonialism.  Yes, we are all now to be Obama’s national therapists.  The news cycle must never upset the delicate balance of his mind, lest he lose that placid demeanor and become angry or sullen. American media dutifully fulfills this purpose daily, serving up only the stuff that sustains Obama’s fragile psyche. I wrote that the Chapel Hill killings story would evaporate by today because it couldn’t be presented as a hate crime. ...

San Diego Local News Labels President Obama As Rape Suspect A local San Diego news station has found themselves in the spotlight after portraying President Obama as a rapist during a news report. The photo was displayed for five seconds until the error was noticed. Oops! Fox 5 San Diego ran a segment at about 10:04 p.m. where anchor Kathleen Bade said, “The only suspect in a sex assault at SDSU will not be charged.” At that time, a photo of Obama accompanied her spiel, appearing just above her left shoulder. The photo remained there for a five seconds, but...

“Advanced Parole.” It’s a part of the President’s Amnesty Program. It’s complicated, but an Advanced Parole is essentially a US Government document for otherwise undocumented immigrants to present to border officials, who will then ‘parole them into the country’ — putting them on the fast track to a green card and citizenship.” Thus, according to Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), “Illegal immigrants will suddenly be able to become voting citizens.” In my home state of Tennessee, one can go to a Department of Transportation (DOT) drivers testing facility where they will find any number of people applying for drivers licenses they...

FBI Director James Comey addresses the "hard truths" of racism in a speech at Georgetown University on Thursday: JAMES COMEY, FBI DIRECTOR: One reason we cannot forget our law enforcement legacy is that the people we serve and protect cannot forget it, either. So we must talk about our history. It is a hard truth that lives on. A second hard truth: Much research points to the widespread existence of unconscious bias. Many people in our white-majority culture have unconscious racial biases and react differently to a white face than a black face. In fact, we all, white and black,...

You will recall last year’s congressionally sponsored “National Prayer Breakfast” when remarks by Dr. Benjamin Carson launched his career as a potential presidential nominee. As controversial as Dr. Carson’s comments were said to have been, this year the President seems to have outdone the good Doctor by creating a firestorm of reaction to his comparison of today’s Islamic terrorism to early Christianity. Mr. Obama began his remarks with “Giving all praise and honor to God, it is wonderful to be back with you here.” OK. Insincere, but OK. No mention of ISIS, even though he spoke of the atrocities of...

An academic tries to make the case that our peripatetic president’s business trips abroad do not constitute an “apology tour,” as some of President Obama’s critics have often alleged. “Obama always links the expansion of democratic citizenship with economic development and praise of the free market,” Martin J. Medhurst, a professor at Baylor claims in an article which appeared in Citizens and Statesmen last year. Citizens and Statesmen is a journal published by St. Vincent’s College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. “In Russia, he claimed that ‘the free market is the greatest force for creating and distributing wealth that the world has...

On Monday's broadcast of The Five, co-host Bob Beckel reflected on why he thinks President Obama doesn't want to call out radical Islam. Beckel said Obama is a guy "very much affected by Muslims in his life." "He had friends that were Muslims," Beckel said. "I think he doesn't want to make himself believe they can be a nasty group."

Mitchell criticized Obama for leaning over backwards to be philosophical days after it was found out that a captured Jordanian pilot was burned alive by ISIS. "You don't use the word Crusades, number one, in any context right now," Mitchell said on NBC's Meet the Press today. "It's just it's too fraught. And the week after a pilot is burned alive, in a video shown, you don't lean over backwards to be philosophical about the sins of the fathers. You have to deal with the issue that's in front of you or don't deal with it at all." Oddly, Mitchell's...

"We're as free of foreign oil as we've been in 30 years," Obama said. "We've doubled the amount of clean energy that we're producing. A lot of families are saving a lot of money at the gas pump, which is putting some smiles on folks' faces." "You're welcome," Obama said to tepid applause.

Today, our president made a comparison between Christians and ISIS that is so unbelievably absurd, so mind-numbingly stupid, that it could only be addressed in a video rebuttal. Please watch, enjoy and share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwwF0_KmBAY

So here’s Obama’s opinion: Ukraine should not get military aid from the West because even with American help, Russia would still mop the floor with them. And this, according to the Times, is what Obama thinks will intimidate Putin into signing a peace treaty. I’ll offer the president some free advice: telling Putin the world is too weak to stop him isn’t very intimidating. Yet even if the West got Putin to sign on to a new agreement, nothing will have been accomplished. Putin has been violating the last ceasefire agreement, because there’s no one to enforce it. What Obama,...

President Barack Obama assures us that, "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. Militant atheists are fond of reminding us that there have been people who committed acts of violence "in the name of religion." And of course this is true. But the Church always condemned such abuses in her teaching. But what Barack Obama doesn't mention (and this should come as no surprise, counterfeit Christian that he is), is that far more violence has been committed under the banner of atheism. See here. As historian Paul Johnson put...

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I don't think there’s anybody in America who’s had a chance to talk to these six young people who or the young DREAMers all across the country who wouldn’t find it in their heart to say these kids are Americans just like us and they belong here and we want to do right by them.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said there is no decision yet as to whether Vice President Joe Biden will attend a joint session of Congress next month where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will give an address... The question immediately following the Netanyahu discussion pertained to President Obama's meeting with Muslim leaders Wednesday afternoon, which Earnest said that "the president is looking forward" to it.

Emanuel said people should skip their free annual Obamacare physical exam because it is “basically worthless”Before Obamacare was passed, Obama said that it would provide a free annual physical exam for everyone.

ADM John Kirby isn’t fooling anyone by his denials that a decision has been made to move forward on preferring charges of “desertion” against Sad Sack SGT Bowe Bergdahl. The Pentagon spokesman can claim until he’s blue in the face, that such reports – first made by FOX NEWS and NBC, and now confirmed by MilitaryCorruption.com – are “patently false,” but what will he do when his disingenuous remarks come back to bite him? Probably what any good public affairs officer (and paid liar) would. Suck it up and move on. What we now know and can tell you is,...

The current Resident of the White House is fond of stating something of which he disapproves – say, interrogating terrorists or growing the economy – and closing the point with the words “But that’s not who we are.” It is condescending, patronizing, smarmy… it is in fact the perfect example of what has always been wrong with the Obama persona – he talks down to his audience, sets up straw men to knock down, sets American against American, in not only class warfare but every other arena as well, all the while mischaracterizing the issue itself. Young against old, healthy...

What is the strategy for taking down Islamist radicals. Is there one? Or is it that everything that is leading to America’s collapse is part of the “fundamental change” if Obama? We are vulnerable to major attack that would an attack on our way of life, and our American values. There are at least 22 active terror cells INSIDE the United States. This is according to an actual FBI map, not just some lunatic fringe, conspiracy theorist. Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which runs the camps, is an Islamic fundamentalist organization related to Al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations. The reason DHS...

After an exhaustive eight month investigation, Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania’s Democrat “Girl Wonder” Attorney General may finally be facing the criminal charges she so richly deserves. A Grand Jury has recommended Kane be indicted for perjury, false swearing, official oppression and obstruction of justice. While these crimes are serious when lodged against an ordinary public servant, they are bombshell quality when brought against a sitting State Attorney General. The charges stem from allegations that Kane leaked Grand Jury confidential memos in an effort to embarrass her Republican political enemies. Among those enemies was Tom Corbett who was the then State AG...
