As you know we have a long history of “Who Wore it Better” posts around here: WWIB:Lady M or David BowieFrom Valentine’s Wishes From the RED Zone -WWIB: Lady M or Ru Paulto  Bitch Stole My Look!®:WWIB: Lady M or Kate BeckinsaleOr one of my favorites, WWIB, Lady M or Cinderella?So I knew Hillary was serious about her bid to rule the world when I saw her jump into the WWIB fray: H/T DonnyI guess she thought that donning a Captain’s jacket would bolster her military chops. Not that she needs to establish her bona fides, having once landed in...

This is yuge! Barry admits to an error! A failure to adequately plan for the aid and governing of Libya after the U.S.-led NATO attacks in 2011 “probably” was his biggest error in office, President Barack Obama said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday.” Now he can claim to be perfect to a fault, although I’m guessing there’s a loophole in this admission – an expiration date perhaps – that will leave his legacy error free.Guaranteed 100% error-free! Asked by host Chris Wallace about the “worst mistake” of his soon-to-end White House years, Obama listed the aftermath of the...

Roger Simon had an interesting post this week titled Are We Now or Have We Ever Been... a Democracy? In it he attempts to explains the RNC’s Byzantine rules for their National Convention this July. “But then, as I understand it, you can still vote for them (Kasich, Ryan, etc.) even if they're not placed in nomination (go figure) and more importantly and most obviously, rules are made to be broken -- or, if not broken, rewritten.And who would rewrite said rules? Why the rules committee, of course (said Alice to the Mad Hatter, or vice versa). And who determines...

It’s been a week of Clintons.First, Hillary took her very own MetroCard to ride the NY subway, just like the ordinary people: it only took her 6 swipes to master the concept, so don’t tell me she’s not qualified to be President.Everyone knows you get to practice on the job till you finally get it:Practice makes PerfectIt was so much easier the last time Hillary rode the subway, just like the regular people – in 1992.They still used tokens back then. And Hilz still had a waist.All things considered though it was better to back people up at the subway...

It now turns out that Putin's neighbor's cat had a post office box in the country of birth of John McCain, through which his contraband Wiskas Cat Treats got smuggled past the liberal Western sanctions against Russia. It is impossible that Putin knew nothing about this. Finally, there is photographic evidence, with intimate expressions of love, between the errant Ivan and the bewhiskered little beastie. [Photo above] But that is still far from everything. Because then this evidence would be pretty thin. The investigative journalist of the Suddeutsche Zeitung have found that the cat has more outstanding connections to the...

According to an AP-GfK poll, the country overwhelmingly hates Trump (69%); butt they also strongly dislike Ted (59%) and Old Hilz (55%). I don’t know about you butt when I saw this report I was curious about who was conducting it; what happened to Gallup, Rasmussen, Opinion Research – the usual suspects? AP is familiar butt who the heck is GfK? So I checked: The GfK SE, established in 1934 as Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung (Society for Consumer Research) is Germany's largest market research institute, and the fourth largest market research organisation in the world.In December 2011, GfK acquired Knowledge Networks,...

I feel a little guilty for not covering this event live; after all, it is my primary job – reflecting Lady M. It’s just that this is the 8th year in a row we’ve planted our Victory Garden and I think people are sick of it - the garden and the victory. The evolution of gardenwear, 2009 to 2016Lady M’s been squatting and plotting in the White House Garden of Good and Evil since April of 2009.And the planting is never as much fun as the harvest.Butt without the ritual planting you can’t have a fruitful harvest. Everybody knows that.Anyway,...

Our guest author All right-thinking people know that Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance. Therefore, even though some instances of violent extremism may involve Muslims, Islam obviously has nothing to do with it. Imam Obama and President Erdogan of Turkey have told us that repeatedly. Only Islamophobes claim that there is a connection.Often, acts erroneously deemed to be "Islamic terrorism" are the results of mental or other disorders. For example Khaled al-Hamada, a brave freedom fighter in Syria, liked to feast on the organs of infidels enemies he had helped to kill. It was neither Islam's fault...

Well no surprises last night: the Commie/Socialist beat the girl fair and square; and because she’s a girl the Democrat Party rules clearly state that she’ll still end up with most of his marbles. On the other side, Cruz – the guy that nobody in Washington likes and isn’t electable – beat Trump – the guy that nobody in America likes and isn’t electable. And Kasich – the likable little lint ball - continued to be the annoying gnat that can’t be shooed away no matter how many times you swat at him.  These results were followed by hours (and...

I do have a test today… It's on European Socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So, who gives a crap if they're Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. - Ferris Bueller Thanks to Boston Charlie we learned that this year is the 30th anniversary of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. And after reading the post BC linked - Ferris Bueller vs. The Snowflake Generation - I decided to dedicate today’s post to Ferris instead of the obligatory Primary...

As the candidates - Democrat and Republican - continue to jostle each other around for political advantage, something larger than any of their egos is developing on the horizon. It's a shame the Republican candidates continue to waste time hectoring each other over the most trivial matters when over the last few days it has become increasingly clear how completely the president of the United States sold out the interests of our country and the West to the Islamic Republic of Iran -- by far (it isn't even close) the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. The candidates are missing an...

I see where Hillary blamed current voter anger and unrest on the George W. Bush recession, (some things never seem to get old);And Trump warned that we’re headed towards another yuuge recession. Should that actually happen it will be blamed on George W. Bush too, as we’re not allowed to blame anything on American’s First Real Black President, or, by extension, any Democrat. To do so would clearly consist of a racist microaggresion – which in case you haven’t noticed is the new shorthand for the old  “dog whistle.” While the dog whistle proved useful in the past 2 presidential...

During what campaign staffers describe as a "senior moment" Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont picked up a comb that was sitting on a table at his campaign headquarters and used it on himself. "This has been a crazy campaign, but that was by far the most insane thing I've witnessed so far," said campaign staffer Chip Beaverton. "He looked, I don't know, his hair was nice and even. He looked, um, respectable? As crazy as that is to say, it's nothing compared to what happened next." According to witnesses at the scene Senator Sanders calmly walked out of the...

 One would hope that today’s snowflakes would be outraged by the White House’s censoring of the words “Islamic Terrorism” from President Hollande’s remarks. President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande met in Washington on Thursday to discuss ways for the two countries to work together to defeat terrorism. But the White House apparently had zero appetite for Hollande’s mention of Islamist terrorism, since it censored the phrase from the official White House video of the meeting posted on the White House website. – The Federalist Only, of course, they will not – be outraged that is. As they too...

Dear Sister and Viking Kitty, Yes, I've been gone a long time. You see-- I was determined to become a professional blogger here at FreeRepublic. But after carefully juggling many electrons into halfway (halfwit?) decent posts, Jim 'Swiss Family' Robinson told me that I was not actually blogging, because FR is a FORUM, not a blog. I was stuned. Stymied. And, he told me he wasn't going to pay me for my posts or my barbed wire--and neither should I--taxpayer dollars should have built that wall decades ago. SO ..instead of getting a blogger stipend, I donated to FReepathons. Hope...

US Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz has dropped out of the nomination race to run for the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada. Cruz, who is trailing Donald Trump in the Republican delegate count, made the surprise announcement during a rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. “Your average Republican voter may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer,” Cruz said. “But I’m beginning to realize that even Republican voters aren’t stupid enough to vote for a Canadian Latino running on an anti-immigration platform.” The Senator from Texas claimed that he is the kind of leader that the Tories...

Karl Rove, former campaign adviser to President George W. Bush, suggested that "Republicans need to look outside the current crop of candidates vying for the Party's nomination and pick a 'fresh face' if we are to have any hope of winning against Hillary Clinton in November." "Look, the guy with the most delegates is a gaffe machine with little grasp of the way government works," Rove contended. "On top of that he has disturbingly negative favorability ratings. A majority of voters can't stand him. I don't see any way he can win in November." "As for the others who've run...
