While the blame for today's historic moment in the collapse of crony capitalism could be laid at many feet - from Brussels totalitarianism to Cameron and Osborne's scaremongering blowback - one look at the charts and it becomes pretty clear when exactly the inflection point occurred... April 22nd, Obama wrote his "Stay or screw the special relationship" Op-Ed followed by his apology tour visit.

Appearing on Breitbart Radio Nigel Farage tells Stephen K. Bannon that President Obama’s visit to the UK (telling the people to vote Remain) offended a lot of British and backfired on the Remain campaign...

If you are a member of the media or even an investigator with the FBI seeking to question members of the Orlando terrorist’s family or mosque, you will now have to go through a federally listed terrorist front group — the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

<p>Barack Obama has warned that the UK would be at the “back of the queue” in any trade deal with the US if the country chose to leave the EU...</p>

Hillary Clinton has yet to congratulate the UK in it's exercise in democracy and self rule #Brexit. Or does she only praise Muslim Arabs voting in springtime?

This week Americans were reminded yet again of the growing jihadist problem in the U.S. The first case deals with two California men that tried to join ISIS and who were convicted Tuesday of “conspiracy to aid a foreign terrorist organization.” The Times of Israel shows the motivation behind the two men: The FBI affidavit said the men shared their support for the Islamic State in conversation and on social media, sharing photos of “unbelievers” being beheaded and expressing wishes to die as “martyrs.” Elhuzayel [one of the convicted men] had sworn allegiance to the leader of IS on a...

Great news from yesterday evening, as the British people (at least the English and Welsh ones) voted to secede from the Second Belgian Empire. “British voters chose to ‘leave’ the European Union on Thursday, defying the polls — and President Barack Obama, who had urged Britain to ‘remain’ in the EU. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had also urged Britain to stay in the EU. Only Donald Trump had backed the campaign to leave. “Republican strategists had panned Trump’s decision to travel to the UK in the midst of campaign turmoil, and in the wake of his blistering attack...

The stupid just keeps pouring from the obama regime. We've come to expect asininity and golly they don't disappoint. Our Attorney General let fly some words which leave you incredulous. “We stand with you to say that the good in this world far outweighs the evil, that our common humanity transcends our differences, and that our most effective response to terror and to hatred is compassion, it’s unity, and it’s love,” Lynch said. “We stand with you today as we grieve together, and long after the cameras are gone, we will continue to stand with you as we grow together in...

She's flying the Union Jack !!!

Americanocentrism in a single tweet https://t.co/aX4j85MJrk— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) June 24, 2016 Obama neglected Syria, allowed the crisis to spill over, driving migrants to Europe, pushing #Brexit over the edge.— Josh Rogin (@joshrogin) June 24, 2016

During the campaign the very worst impulses were given free rein and voice. Britain is not greater for this decision but smaller, weaker and more vulnerable In the end those who placed their faith in the “experts” were always going to be disappointed. The pollsters were wrong; the currency traders were wrong; the pundits were confounded. People who did not feel they had been heard have not just spoken. Given a one-off chance to tell the world what they think of how they are governed they have screamed a piercing cry of alienation and desperation. Given the choice between the...

Apparently many are being fooled by this outrageous story of how one gun store in "Podunk" Pennsylvania sold 30,000 AR-15's in 5 days after the Orlando shooting. This is an amazing feat of 21st century commerce since their "web presence" looks like something from the early 1990's. I've seen this Fox Business News story repeated on The Blaze, Washington Free Beacon, etc. This is patently absurd that no one from any reputable source has questioned this. Does no one fact check anymore (besides FreeRepublic)? The Hunters Warehouse owner, Tom Engle, told Stuart Varney of Fox Business News on June 17th...

The key to victory, the key to the courage that brings victory is not simply fighting the fight, but KNOWING we fight a righteous battle for the One who gave us Liberty. Our founders were in a position to pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor because they were firmly rooted in ALL the assurances of Liberty. Our founders knew that Liberty is a gift from God and those that stand for God’s gifts will be victorious through God’s promises. They firmly believed that living in tyranny was worse than dying for Liberty. Did these brave men and...

Adolf Hitler’s Propaganda Chief Joseph Goebbels operated on a simple principle: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” For several decades we have steadily been losing ground to the Left because they have lied about everything, big and small. This said, here are some nasty numbers on Hillary Clinton’s campaign the media can’t smother. We’ve all heard that Republicans hate Trump and Democrats love Hillary. This is not true. A new Gallup survey shows the number of Democrats happy that Clinton is their candidate went from an unhelpful 77%...

Now another shot heard 'round the world has been fired, this time by the British. Hopefully, America and others will get wise and follow her lead “The party is over. Everybody out of the pool - at least for the moment.” Britain, by only a very small margin, elected to leave the European Union. This, most probably the Brit’s last stand for independence, is an object lesson that absolutely should not go unheeded by the United States that is aspiring, tooth and nail, to be the next Finland. It was Finland’s former prime minister, Alexander Stubb, who last night tweeted...

People Vs. Bureaucracy ‘HUZZAH!” The British word for “WOOHOO!” With a 52%-48% victorious Brexit vote We the people of England have restored their nation to independence. In the end the EU was…”unsustainable”. Look out United Nations, the same is being said of you! Special: Barb Walters Sits Down With Dr Oz and Leaves Viewers Speechless Caught up in the spotlight of their own publicity, the pollsters got it immensely wrong in the outcome of a battle best descried as the ‘People Vs. Bureaucracy’.

Does your average American read the New York Times?  No, a dwindling number of leftists and intellectuals do. A more viable and influential publication is the National Enquirer. Now I never bought a copy of National Enquirer, but I've chuckled at the UFO stories and my eyes have scanned many thousands of scandal covers over 50 odd years of buying groceries. But here's the real scandal: there is more truth contained in the National Enquirer than you can find in the deceitful columns of the NYT and Washington Post!

(Original title too long: Muslim Suicide Bomber Take 50 Germans Hostage At Theater, The Police Blast Him Just Before He Blows Himself Up- The Middle East Is Now In Central Europe). This was a close call. Thank God for the swift action of German policemen who saved these 50 people. But there will be another time, and next time might be too late, especially since the German media is already trying to say the man had ‘no identifiable links to radical Islam’: An armed man who was gunned down by the police at a cinema complex in Viernheim, western Germany,...

There comes a time in everyone's life when you just have to do chores. My most onerous burden is washing dishes. I admit I have been lax in this lately so I've come up with a game plan. Step 1: Throw away all plastic containers recycled from former food items. In one fell swoop I eliminate 50% of cleanup today. Step 2: Get a dog and name it Prewash. Set dirty pans on the floor after they cool and Prewash does the rest. Ingenious! Step 3: After grocery shopping for the month, prepare bulk meals. Oven fry that 10 lb....

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” – Winston Churchill  Well go figure…apparently a good share of the people were really pissed off. Looks like they chose blessings. And freedom.So the good news is there will always be an England.The bad news is there will always be an EU too.Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror
