Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine are heard admitting they've eaten dog meat and raped young girls in horrifying intercepted audio. In tapped phone calls released by Kyiv secret service the SBU yesterday, Russian soldiers reveal their sick sexual 'conquests' and complain about the quality of years-old ration packs. An unidentified man presumed to be a family member asks in Russian: 'Are you eating okay at least?' A soldier replies: 'We had Alabay (dog) yesterday.' 'Who?', the family member asks. 'Alabay', he replies matter-of-factly. The stunned man says: 'Are you eating dogs or what?' Again the soldier replies stoically: 'We have....

NOTE:  As has been my custom for the past two years I will betaking a summer semi-sabbatical (SSS) for the next few months. Butt as the old cowpoke once said…“I don’t know how quit you.”   Accordingly, I’m not shuttering the shop, just cutting back on my hours a bit in order to tend to a myriad of half-done or not yet started projects that tend to build up every year and demand attention by the time summer rolls around. The posts will be shorter, mixed with some open threads and/or re-posts from the MOTUS deep vault of golden oldies. And...

On Sunday Ukrainian prime minister Yatsenyuk resigned, just four days after the Dutch voted against Ukraine joining the European Union. Taken together, these two events are clear signals that the US-backed coup in Ukraine has not given that country freedom and democracy. They also suggest a deeper dissatisfaction among Europeans over Washington’s addiction to interventionism. According to US and EU governments – and repeated without question by the mainstream media – the Ukrainian people stood up on their own in 2014 to throw off the chains of a corrupt government in the back pocket of Moscow and finally plant themselves...

President Barack Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli planes in 2014 if they were sent to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities, according to reports attributed to a Kuwaiti newspaper. According to the website Israel National News, the Bethlehem-based news agency Ma'an cites Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. Al-Jarida reports that the alleged threat from the White House forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the planned attack. An Israeli minister on good relations with the Obama administration reportedly tipped Secretary of State John Kerry to the plan and that Obama vowed to shoot down the planes when they crossed over U.S.-controlled airspace...

Wednesday morning, the president visited Taylor Gourmet, a D.C. sandwich shop where he conducted a small-business roundtable. (Presumably, his political advisers figured it would be bad economic optics for him to visit the rival Washington deli Breadline.) While there, he also picked up a bite to eat -- and, evidently, brandished it at reporters. Obama's next stop was a meeting with Congressional leaders; he quipped, "I'm going to offer them some hoagies." If sharing sandwiches is all it takes to prevent another debt-ceiling showdown, we have some very serious questions about the administration's bargaining strategy last time around. The pool...

There was a brief media firestorm yesterday when Vanity Fair broke the news that Obama’s famous “New York girlfriend” was a fiction. She appears in his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father, described in some detail by her appearance, voice and mannerisms. But a new biography of Obama – with an excerpt published in Vanity Fair – “reveals” that she was actually an amalgam of several different women. Politico immediately ran with “Obama: 'New York girlfriend' was composite” and Drudge headlined with “Obama Admits Fabricating Girlfriend in a Memoir.” Coming hot on the heels of the news that the Pres...

April 30, 2012 White House Denies That Obama Feasted on Human Flesh Scott Ott Obama joked about the difference between dog meat and human flesh at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We know the President ate dog, but has he ever eaten a hockey mom? Find out more about the Obama dog controversy, plus the Occupy strike and the details of the Chinese abortion dissident holed up in the US Embassy, on this PJ News Break. VIDEO at link...

"I will note that I thought it was a little absurd to talk about what the President had done as a 10-year-old boy," Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod said on MSNBC today about stories of the president eating dog as a child. "What are we going to do, go back to kindergarten and before that and that's going to be part of this debate? It's silly," Axelrod said.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Snerdley, do you still have your crush on Suzanne Malveaux? You're gonna have to deal with this. You're gonna have to do something about this. They had the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night. There's a new name for this thing called The Nerd Prom. The Nerd Prom. That was one of the Twitter hashtags for the event. And that's quite apt, because politics, as I have often described it, is show biz for the ugly. And that's what the White House correspondents dinner was. It's their big Oscar night. It's where they all get together...

President Obama tells a joke that is just plain tasteless and nonsensical. Who writes this stuff for him! Obama: "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?" "A pit bull is delicious." First off, I doubt that a pit bull is delicious meat. To say it's "delicious" is probably a stretch unless you have no taste....hmmm. But the second part is the inclusion of the "hockey mom". It's nonsense. How is a hockey mom delicious or not delicious. Has he eaten hockey mom? Is is a metaphor for something negative about hockey moms? Did he just slam...

President Obama didn’t pull any punches during this year’s White House correspondents dinner, poking fun at his past experience in canine cuisine, at the Republican Party and, most persistently, at his presidential rival Mitt Romney. “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull?” Obama asked the audience Saturday night, a reference to the recent brouhaha over his eating of dog meat as a child. “A pit bull is delicious.”

A couple of days ago, Obama campaign top dog David Axelrod threw in the towel on the dog war. "I thought it was a little absurd to talk about what the president had done as a 10-year-old boy," he sniffed to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, which is as near as the suddenly sheepish attack dog will ever get to conceding that Barack Obama is the first dog-eating president in the history of the republic. For those coming late to the feud, the Democrats started it, assiduously promoting accounts of a 1983 Romney vacation to Canada in which the family pooch Seamus...

For Immediate Release Contact: Garren Shipley (540) 686-1138 Obama 'Kicks Off' Campaign in Virginia ... after 120 Fund Raisers and Taxpayer Funded Events -- After months of wasting taxpayer dollars trying to hide his failed record, Obama stops governing, goes into full campaign mode -- For those covering President Obama's upcoming visit to Richmond on May 5, please consider the following response from RPV Chairman Pat Mullins: "President Obama is coming back to Virginia, ostensibly to 'kick off' his 2012 campaign. You know, it sort of makes me wonder what all those 120 fund raisers and other events that were...

Race Theory professor Derrick Bell did not end after Harvard Law School--and certainly not at the April 24, 1990 rally at which Obama embraced Bell, literally and figuratively. Breitbart News has discovered a letter sent by Obama to Bell in February 1995 in which Obama asks Bell to review--and to blurb--an early version of Obama’s autobiography, then entitled Dreams of My Father. The letter is preserved in the archives of New York University, to which Bell donated his papers. The archives--which are open to the public--include Bell’s papers from decades of research, writing, teaching, and speaking. The website for the...

More proof that Democrats's "War On Women, War On Moms" backfired: More voters think Mitt Romney and the Republican Party respect women who work outside the home than think President Obama and the Democrats respect women who stay at home, according to the latest The Hill Poll. Forty-nine percent of likely voters said the presumptive GOP presidential nominee respects women who have independent careers, while 27 percent said he doesn’t and 24 percent weren’t sure. When asked if President Obama respects women who stay at home rather than pursue a career, 37 percent of likely voters said he doesn’t and...

(snip) The bad news for Obama four years later is that the first weeks of the general-election campaign have demonstrated that Mitt Romney and his top staff are not going to play by the same rules as the McCain campaign. On April 11, Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen appeared on Anderson Cooper’s CNN program and scoffed at Ann Romney’s value to her husband in helping assess the economic challenges of women voters by declaring that “she never worked a day in her life.” Some campaigns might have questioned how much they could do with an off-key insulting comment from a talking...

"...Since Barack Obama took office, the U.S. national debt has increased·by more than 5 trillion dollars, and it is rising at a rate of about·150 million dollars an hour...." Debt is a "soft" form of slavery. In America today, it is not legal to bind people up with chains and force them to work for you, but that doesn't mean that there are not millions upon millions of slaves in this country. When you borrow money, you willingly become a servant to the lender. Sadly, there are millions of Americans that will spend the rest of their lives working to...

What a careful reader will take away from Barack Obama’s memoir Dreams of My Father is not only that the president used to eat dog meat, but more importantly, that he identifies with dog-eaters. He wants us to understand that he is one of them. Obama’s most severe critics on the right think of Obama as a socialist, for example, Dinesh d’Souza, or Stanley Kurtz in his exhaustively-researched book Radical-in-Chief. Obama used to attend the annual “Socialist Scholars Conference” in New York, which was a hard-core affair; I went to a couple of them, and they weren’t for the curious....

An individual named John Wilson posted this photo on Facebook. BO KNOWS. RUN BO RUN! This is so illustrative of the Obama campaign's hypocracy, and their lack on ANYTHING substanative to run on. They are a sick joke...but a very dangerous one. THE MAN WHO DESPISES AMERICA
