    The Washington Examiner ^ | July 13, 2017 | Tom Rogan
    Last night, Michelle Obama was the honored guest of the annual ESPY awards. Naturally, the media collective was head over heels with praise and admiration. At the Sacramento Bee, Brian Blomster had what can only be described as a literary orgasm. Obama, he said, "wowed attendees" with a "black Cushnie et Ochs dress that was all curves and slashes." According to Blomster's reporting, Obama "gave the evening a markedly high-fashion feel." In tune, USA Today remarked, "Civilian life looks good on Michelle Obama. If Barack Obama is America's ex-boyfriend, the former first lady is this country's one that got away."...
  • Obama’s Policy Legacy Is Dying, But His Cultural Legacy Lives On

    DB Daily Update ^ | 7.14.2017 | David Blackmon
    The Obama policy legacy continues to be systematically repealed by President Trump and congress, but sadly, the Obama cultural legacy will live on for many years thanks to the hundreds of utterly corrupt individuals he appointed to the federal judiciary. Last night we saw the latest example of what will become a long-term lawless, corrupting influence in our daily lives, as Hawaii District Court Judge Derrick Watson issued his latest extra-constitutional ruling related to the President’s travel ban. No doubt many of you have been laboring under the illusion that the U.S. Supreme Court – which has already ruled on...

  • It’s personal: 65% who disapprove of Trump do so because of his “personality,” not policy or job

    Now here’s an interesting result. Three presidents, three metrics — and in each case the biggest problem for each man was different than it was for the other two. See Also: Union files grievance over ‘goat crews’ clearing brush on university campus The silver lining for Trump is that, for all the criticism he draws in the media about pushing bad policy or doing a poor job as president, that’s not what sticks out to his critics. Overwhelmingly anti-Trumpers are anti mainly because they disdain Trump the man, not Trump the ideologue or Trump the C-in-C. For definitional purposes, “personality”...

    The Russian attorney at the center of the hyped-up scandal with Donald Trump Jr. was pictured seated behind an Obama administration ambassador mere days after she met with the son of the president. The lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, was pictured right behind former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, during a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Russia five days after she met with the president’s son, discovered by a CNN reporter. CNN reporter Michael Weiss tweeted the picture on Tuesday, but he incorrectly dated the photo June 14, 2014 ( it is CNN, after all). " Hey, look what I found. Veselnitskaya...

    Two Democratic Party donors and a former party staff member have filed an invasion of privacy lawsuit against President Trump’s campaign and a longtime informal adviser, Roger J. Stone Jr., accusing them of conspiring in the release of hacked Democratic emails and files that exposed their personal information to the public. The lawsuit, introduced by “Protect Democracy,” a litigation group run by former Obama administration lawyers, alleges that Stone and the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to have their personal information revealed in the Democratic emails and files released by WikiLeaks last year, exposing them to danger.

    The Obama administration has touted its negotiations to remove chemical weapons from Syria as a major diplomatic achievement. But a new report from the UN Security Council found that the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons against civilians in violation of the deal the Obama administration brokered with the help of Russia in 2013.[snip]"The Assad regime has learned over the past five years that the Obama administration will do absolutely nothing to protect Syrian civilians from mass homicide," Fred Hof, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and a former special adviser for transition in Syria under...

    FEC Commissioner Now Going After Right Wing Media Over Russian 'Collusion' By Kristine Marsh | July 11, 2017 The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is looking to target right-wing media outlets under the guise that they could’ve helped Russia interfere into our presidential election, reported The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard Tuesday. The commission will decide at this Thursday’s meeting whether or not to investigate websites like the Drudge Report, Breitbart and others on the right for violating election spending rules by allowing advertising on their Facebook pages by Russian entities. The call for investigation was spearheaded by the FEC’s Democrat commissioner,...

    This is great stuff. Watch Texas Sen. Ted Cruz explain to an extremely rude NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent, Kasie Hunt, why President Donald J. Trump’s Russia is vastly superior to the Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton appeasement of Russia: Transcript: Hunt: Is Russia an enemy of the United States? Cruz: Russia is a significant adversary. Putin is a KGB thug. Hunt interrupting: Do you think Trump is treating him that way? Cruz: I think we have that we have had eight years of Barack Obama showing nothing but appeasement toward Russia. Part of the irony . . . Hunt Interrupting again:...

    Red State ^ | July 8, 2017
    I missed this in the tumult of the past week but good news is always welcome. When Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was released by the Taliban in 2014 he was feted by the Obama administration despite ample evidence that he was actually a deserter. His parent were guests at a Rose Garden ceremony with Obama, himself. Habitual and reflexive liar Susan Rice took to the Sunday shows to reprise her bravura performance after Benghazi, in this case she told a lie so monstrous that even CNN’s Jim Acosta, who never saw an Obama-related knob shoe he couldn’t polish, was shocked:...

    That gruesome sight in December 2015 soon became a crime scene, one that eventually implicated six students and recent graduates of a prestigious Honolulu prep school whose alumni include former president Barack Obama. While on a camping trip the night before the hiker’s arrival, authorities alleged, the boys and young men had hiked to the Ka’ena Point Natural Area Reserve and mercilessly slaughtered at least 15 Laysan albatrosses, federally protected birds that have been the focus of a 26-year-long conservation effort. Nearly a dozen of their eggs were crushed; six other eggs failed to hatch due to the death of...

    IWB ^ | Mark Angelides
    Last Thursday, former President, Barack Obama, turned out at the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) fundraiser; this coupled with his activities on the world stage (visiting Foreign leaders, hosting Foundation events etc…) leads to only one logical conclusion: He’s making a comeback…And this would be the worst possible thing for the struggling DNC. “The purpose of an opposition government is to be the government in waiting should the present government fall”. Of course, much of the US system was set up to create “robust debate”, but the reality is that with the apparatus of state still in place, bringing in...

    The American Spectator ^ | July 11, 2017 | Victor Gaetan
    How U.S. policies continue to advance an unnholy agenda — part Islamist, part Leftwing. There’s scant evidence of Donald Trump’s victory last fall in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), a country of 3.5 million, forged in Ohio at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1995. Although the president declares (as he did last month in Iowa), “We went into other countries to tell them how to run their countries,” as though it’s a bad dream from the past, U.S. career diplomats roll on as though 2017 were the Obama administration’s ninth year in office. The American Spectator has explored how...

    PJ Media ^ | 11 July 2017 | Patrick Poole
    In an exclusive interview with PJ Media, the Libyan National Army (LNA) spokesman, Col. Ahmed al-Mesmari, says that President Obama and Hillary Clinton "abandoned the Libyan people to face these terrorists alone." He also implicates the Obama administration in supporting terrorist militias -- including Libyan al-Qaeda leader Abdelhakim Belhadj and Muslim Brotherhood militias allied to al-Qaeda. Col. al-Mesmari also claims that the February 17th Martyrs Brigade -- hired by Hillary Clinton's State Department to protect the U.S. consulate in Benghazi -- cooperated with Ansar al-Sharia in attacking the consulate compound on September 12, 2012. That attack led to the deaths...

The visceral, stoked-up “repeat-after-me” hatred of President Donald Trump is the only sign of life in the zombies infected by the pure hate they pick up while watching T.V. Their...
