Rasmussen Reports released a poll on Tuesday that shows “voters reject Obama’s new Middle East refugee plan.” News of widespread public opposition to more refugees comes three days after Saturday’s stabbing of ten Americans in a St. Cloud, Minnesota mall by Somali refugee Dahir Adan, and the bombings in New York and New Jersey, allegedly perpetrated by Afghan immigrant and likely refugee Ahmad Khan Rahami.

President Barack Obama told a crowd of black people that he’d consider it a personal insult if blacks don’t vote for Hillary in 2016. Just when you thought Democrats couldn’t dial up their identity politics anymore, Obama told black Americans that only their vote and his legacy matter, not their black lives. “And after we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community, I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me...

President Obama spoke to the nation on September 19 to address the rash of Islamist-inspired terror attacks that occurred in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota over the weekend. Instead of reassuring the nation, the brief, lackluster address regurgitated the same tired banalities and lacked substance. Obama inexplicably failed to classify the East Coast attacks as terrorism and then noted that “[a]t this point we see no connection between [the Minnesota] incident and what happened here in New York and New Jersey.” The sanitized speech was also devoid of any reference to radical Islam even though the evidence suggests that...

President Barack Obama took to the most prominent international stage Tuesday to deliver a stark warning to American voters of the dire global consequences they face should they embrace isolationism and ultra-nationalism in November. Never mentioning Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by name, the President's final address to the United Nations General Assembly was at heart an impassioned rebuke of the GOP candidate's policies on trade, immigration and multiculturalism -- and a defense of liberalism and tolerance -- delivered 49 days before votes are cast for his replacement. He painted a dark picture of the future awaiting Americans, and the...

Despite this weekend's terror wave by two Muslim refugees, Obama doubled down on bringing in Muslim refugees in his UN speech. Obama insisted that "innocent immigrants and Muslims" were the real victims of Islamic terror. He claimed that walls wouldn't work and contended that, "our world will be more secure if we are prepared to help those in need and the nations who are carrying the largest burden with respect to accommodating these refugees." Sure. Just ask Europe. If we take in enough potential terrorists, somehow we'll be more secure for it. Then he accused Americans to opposed to his...

This past week the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) pulled all championship events out of North Carolina for the 2016-2017 season simply because that state passed a law, known as HB 2, which requires men and women to use the restroom or locker room corresponding to the gender on their birth certificate. In essence, the North Carolina legislature said men use the men's room and ladies use the ladies room. By doing this, North Carolina was simply protecting women and children from sexual predators and voyeurs. Along with punishing North Carolina, the NCAA is forcing all potential championship host sites...

US President Barack Obama has told a United Nations summit that the global intake of refugees is set to double in 2016. Seven EU states are set to admit at least 10 times more migrants than last year. Confirming that dozens of countries had pledged to double the number of refugees resettled to 360,000 in 2016, Obama urged countries to “welcome the stranger in our midst.” “I called this summit because this crisis is one of the most urgent tasks for our time, our capacity for collective action,” the US leader said in his final address to the UN General...

A coalition of 21 states sued the U.S. Department of Labor Tuesday over a new rule that would make about 4 million higher-earning workers eligible for overtime pay, slamming the measure as inappropriate federal overreach from the Obama Administration. Republican Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Eastern Texas, urging it to block implementation before the regulation takes effect on Dec. 1. Laxalt, a frequent critic of President Barack Obama’s policies, said the rule would burden private and public sectors by straining budgets and forcing layoffs or cuts in working hours. “This rule, pushed...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — In a closing dispatch to the world he's tried to shape, President Barack Obama conceded Tuesday that the United States and other major powers have only limited ability to solve the world's most profound problems, including Syria's civil war. He lamented the "cycles of conflict and suffering" that seem to kick in every time humanity finally seems to be getting it right. "Perhaps that's our fate," Obama said in his last speech to the U.N. General Assembly. Four months before leaving office, Obama called for a "course correction" to ensure that the unstoppable forces of globalization...

Uncle Hotep for President in '20.

A float for the Tri-state Parade in Amarillo, Texas apparently caused a stir on social media by featuring two very prominent Democrats in a prison cell.Some of the participants in this years parade made a float that looks like a jail cell, with a man wearing an Obama mask and a woman dressed up as Hillary Clinton. As pictures of the float circulated on social media, some residents found it offensive. While this float is simply a case of freedom of expression, of course liberals immediately draw the "race card" and started insinuating that the float the racist/sexist in some...

President Obama advocated that nations will have to give up some of their autonomous freedoms for international cooperation to achieve security on Tuesday during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly. Obama told the audience how he believes global security can be achieved with the help of international institutions like the U.N. In his remarks, Obama said “powerful nations” like the United States will have to accept constraints and give up some of their freedoms. The president acknowledged that he has been criticized by his own citizens for this belief but he remains convinced he is right. Obama also...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that the Senate will take up an expected veto override of legislation that lets families of 9/11 victims sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts before breaking for the elections. "Both of those we'll have to deal with before we depart," the Senate Republican Leader told reporters. He was referring to the veto override and a separate push to block a proposed arms sale to Saudi Arabia. The Senate had been expected to leave town this week, but McConnell said it was "safe to say" that the Senate would be in town next...

UNITED NATIONS — There wasn’t much diplomatic about it: President Barack Obama and United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon repeatedly denounced Donald Trump and his brand of politics here as they addressed leaders from around the world Tuesday. Three days after declaring that Trump’s candidacy is a threat to American democracy, Obama said that while globalization has its downsides, the wrong response comes “more often from the right” to produce an “aggressive nationalism, a crude populism…which seeks to restore what they believe was a better, simpler age free of outside contamination.” He didn’t say Trump’s name. He didn’t say Make...

A twitter posting of a Wikileak item is speculating about the alleged plane crash in 2012 involving Hillary Clinton in Iran. While its has been speculated on over the last couple of years it was or has never been proven to have occurred. Did the incident happen? Perhaps Obama's payment of the HUGE cash amounts is related to the cover up of this story? I doubt it but with this regime you just never know fiction or non-fiction.

Barry Soetoro , Hillary Clinton are about as competent as they can get, utterly fit and qualified, and prove it by cooperating with Russian president Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov, America's friends, to excise Islamic State from MidEast Barack Obama (not his real name) joined the Hillary Clinton campaign before the results of the FBI’s soft-ball interview was revealed, that would, under ordinary circumstances, have resulted in an indictment and a long internment. The president assured us about the impartiality of the Department of Justice by saying he has no way of knowing the outcome. In the background behind...

STFU 0 Anyone listening to your POS speech right now at the UN needs prayers to stop hearing your BS...I cannot even recall at this point the hypocrisy of his opening 5 minutes...and yes globull warming is one of the biggest threats. "the innocent immigrants and Muslims" "growing contest between authoritarian and liberal" "young people need a global education" "democratic constitution" "open doors for women, minorities and workers" "this story not unique to America...look at Egypt, Indonesia, Botswana" "we need to set a better example at home" "we must reject any forms of fundamentalism, racism, or a belief in ethnic...

Today is the last time Barry’s motorcade and entourage will foul up Manhattan traffic all day in order to address the United Nations General Assembly. It will be the last time as President he will be able to use the UN backdrop to apologize for America, chastise those who dare disagree with him, and lie with impunity – for the greater good of course.It will be Barry’s last chance to use the UN pulpit to preach that terrorism is just a “war of narratives” and explain why we need to welcome even more “refugees” to our shores. Because, after all, they...

Donald Trump has released the following statement regarding the latest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. New York, New Jersey and Minnesota: “In the past 48 hours, our law enforcement showed again that, without them, our country is neither safe nor secure. I am grateful for the quick action of law enforcement in capturing the terrorist responsible for Saturday’s bombings, and the off-duty police officer for stopping the terrorist in Minnesota. This weekend’s attacks, from Minnesota to Manhattan, are just the latest to be carried out on U.S. soil under President Obama. These should be a wake-up call for every American....
