A high school student who stabbed a fellow pupil in the neck with a pencil can't be expelled under her school district's weapons policy, a Commonwealth Court panel has ruled. In fact, Judge Patricia A. McCullough wrote in the state court's opinion, every Pennsylvania classroom would be empty if her court agreed with the Pittsburgh Public School District that a sharpened pencil is a prohibited weapon. The case revolves around what happened between the 10th grader and another student at the Barack Obama International Academy on May 9, 2016.

In his acceptance speech for the John F. Kennedy Profile In Courage award, former President Obama compared the courage of troops, cops, and first responders to "dreamers who suppress their fears to keep working." Video and transcript at link...

Anti-African-American flyers containing a racist slogan and imagery have been found at the University of Texas at Austin, according to reports on social media Tuesday. The flyers depict a racist caricature of a black man holding a knife and bear the words “Around blacks ... never relax.” UT student Kim Nguyen said she found a flyer on an yellow emergency call machine near the Littlefield Fountain.

The shutdown showdown seems like a wild train ride and the political aftermath is only just picking up steam. I think it is important to be clear about what the faithful few are actually fighting for (and against) during the shutdown showdown. Let me reset the framework in the simplest possible terms, so that we don’t forget the essentials. Our federal government, created by the States in 1787, was designed to be a limited and defined federal government. Not my words, but the words of the people who created it - easily researchable and verifiable. James Madison (called the Father...

To all the Obama supporters who are shocked at his acceptance of a $400,000 Wall St. speaking fee: I TOLD YOU SO!!!!! First of all, let’s start out with this obligatory clip from Casablanca:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjbPi00k_MENow that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I’d like to address all of the Obama supporters who are shocked at his acceptance of a $400,000 Wall St. speaking fee:I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!Specifically, I wrote:Although Obama claimed to support the Occupy Wall St. movement, the truth is that as of 2011, he had raised more money from Wall St. than any other candidate during the previous 20...

Brace yourself all who care about the future of the West, Lulu’s Back in Town The curse of Marxist Revolution is upon us with the return to the pubic spotlight of Private Citizen FORMER President Barack Obama at the University of Chicago where he will fill the ranks of the Revolution by luring university students into lifelong Community Organizer duty. ‘You can be a rich Community Organizer like me’ will be Obama’s easy sell when he holds forth in an address to the University of Chicago on Monday.

An alleged refusal by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEDI) to allow the FBI's special attaché for international relations to interview former President Barack Obama in French Polynesia is getting internet coverage but virtually no narrative in America's media. The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Joseph Napier interdicted the fishing vessel "Lady Michelle" in international waters near St. Vincent Island by zapping its electronic navigation system and rendering it "dead in the water." Four smugglers and contraband including approximately $125 million US dollars in seized cocaine were offloaded into American custody in San Juan, Puerto Rico as DEA and other...

It’s not like Jarrett, a mobbed-up Red diaper baby, really needs the money, especially now that she’s shacked up with Barry on Embassy Row President Obama’s longtime Chicagoland gal pal Valerie Jarrett threw a temper tantrum when the angry little people of flyover country demanded she give up a $30,000 speaking fee from a cash-strapped government-run institution of higher learning.* (Okay, I made up the temper tantrum but for all we know it could have happened.) According to Politico, the scheming Iranian-born fixer from the land of Al Capone and Saul Alinsky, “has ended up in the middle of a...

Surprising consensus on today's Morning Joe that Barack Obama blew it bigly in Syria by punting on his redline. Even Obama fan Mike Barnicle admitted, "Syria was a serious mistake that the Obama administration made." Foreign policy honcho Richard Haass said "history's going to be rough on this. This is going to be the defining moment for the Obama presidency." It wasn't just the panel that trashed Obama's mishandling of Syria. Joe Scarborough noted that not only did leading Dems like John Kerry and Hillary quickly come out in support of Trump's strikes, but that Dems were saying things that...

CNN's Van Jones ripped President Trump and the "right wing media" for attacking Obama National Security Adviser for "doing her job." Jones said Trump has declared Rice guilty of a crime with "zero facts." He also explained why he believes Susan Rice deserves the Presidential Medal Of Freedom from Trump.

How ironic that a president who spent millions sealing his personal papers got to arrange for the unmasking of all information pertaining to his replacement, family and campaign workers Most of us knew that the mainstream media would move in with the most creative alibis for Susan Rice requesting the unmasking of Trump officials, by daybreak today. As sure as daybreak follows night, CBS was first.

Michelle Obama was just sent a mind blowing bill by President Donald J. Trump for ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS, to repay the American people for all of the money she and her family blew through during their eight years in the people's home, our WHITE HOUSE. "The Obama family will never be able to pay" this bill, says the computer generated narrator on TheTrumpBreakingNewsNetwork.net who is calling the former first lady the most outrageous spender of all of America's first ladies! The Obama family spent a whopping TEN BILLION on their vacations, food, clothing, liquor, and cigarettes alone, according to the...

On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough argued that the MSM is failing to cover the story of the Obama admin “unmasking”and leaking the names of Trump campaign people caught up in the intercepts of Russians. According to Scarborough, 95% of the story is the attempt by the Russians to influence the election. But that still leaves the 5% that the MSM is ignoring because the people unmasked were disliked, and in the case of Michael Flynn, “loathed” by the media, whereas the improper activity was “by people who, let’s face it, most of the people in the media like and...

On Jan 20, 2017, Inauguration Day, the New York Times print edition featured on the front page “Wiretapped Data Used in Inquiry of Trump Aides." From the Article: “The F.B.I. is leading the investigations, aided by the National Security Agency, the C.I.A. and the Treasury Department’s financial crimes unit. The investigators have accelerated their efforts in recent weeks but have found no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, the officials said. One official said intelligence reports based on some of the wiretapped communications had been provided to the White House.” And: “Numerous news outlets, including The New York Times, have reported on...

An Obama has joined the birther movement. Malik Obama, Barack Obama's half-brother, tweeted image of what appears to be Barack's birth certificate. Except it's not from Hawaii, but rather Kenya. "What's this?" he tweeted. The document is from the "Coast Province General Hospital" in Mombasa, British Protectorate of Kenya, and is for Barack Hussein Obama II, who was born on the "4th day of August, 1961."

Early this afternoon Malik Obama, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump currently living in Kenya, tweeted out a picture of what appears to be the birth certificate of his half brother Barack Obama. Malik previously caused a stir in the Obama family last year when he publicly proclaimed his support for then presidential candidate Donald Trump, in stark opposition to his half brother's endorsement of Hillary Clinton. Since that time Malik has been a continuous supporter of Trump, using his twitter account to spread memes and other pro-Trump (or anti-Obama) messages. Today, Malik is again catching the spotlight by tweeting...

On CNN this morning, commenting on a report that President Trump has “no proof, no regrets” over his allegation that Pres. Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, Chris Cuomo claimed “no, proof, no regrets: they only go together with this administration.” Really? We only have to go back to the immediately previous administration to debunk Cuomo’s claim. Remember President Obama’s “proof and regrets” that a video led to the murder of four Americans in Benghazi? Nope? How about “if you like your policy, you can keep your policy?” Or when he told the press on national television the Cambridge police "acted stupidly"...

You have probably seen the image below of the New York Times January 20 headline. It has gone viral on web and renders absurd the current denials by the Times and much of the rest of the mainstream media that there was no wiretapping of the Donald Trump campaign by the Obama administration. No, there won't be a document out there signed by former President Obama that says something like "I hereby authorize the wiretapping of the Trump campaign." There doesn't need to be. The headline and its January 19 article makes very clear that the previous administration did secretly...

Blackmail by Obama will be like shooting fish in a barrel, as each one of the Trump cabinet appointees goes down in mainstream media celebrated flame. It’s time for authorities to move in and confiscate all of Obama’s blackmail files Obama’s suspected wiretapping of Trump Towers drags out into the sunlight knowledge of the dirty dossiers he is holding over the heads of all seated reps and senators held hostage by blackmail when it comes time to wreck lives and end careers. It is not the law or the vote but the accomplished blackmailer—and that is what Barack Hussein Obama...

Morning Joe suffered a split personality today over President Trump's tweets alleging that President Obama had tapped his phones. On the one hand, Joe and Mika waxed apocalyptic, claiming the country is "in crisis" and questioning President Trump's "stability." At one point, Mika even seemed to choke up as she said, "this is really a dark time which could get worse." But at the same time, Joe Scarborough zeroed in on former Obama spox Josh Earnest's "very legalistic" responses to questioning by ABC's Martha Raddatz. On This Week, Raddatz cited former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau's tweet, warning "I'd be careful...
