Leave it to Barack Obama and his security minions to put American lives in jeopardy just to score some political points with a bullshit Hollywood movie. If you thought last year, in the wake of the successful hit on Osama Bin Laden, that Obama and his political operatives would try to garner political advantage from [...]

I love Penn and Teller. They are amazing performers and true libertarians. Here is Penn laying the wood to Obama (warning, strong language): Penn, like me, despises hypocrisy.

Leave it to Barack Obama to try to one-up George W. Bush, but not in a good way. Bush the younger pissed away an historical opportunity in the aftermath of 9-11. He had the country united behind him and could have moved decisively to crush the Islamic extremists behind the 9-11 attacks. Instead, he squandered [...]

In honor of the G-8 Summit, and with the Olympics a few months away, thought you might like a chance to weigh in on your favorite national anthems. Generally speaking, most countries have atrocious, unsingable, uninspiring audio dreck. But there are some out there that deserve praise and serve the purpose of stirring nationalism. (Whether [...]

This is not my opinion. This is a fact from Barack Obama. From 1991 thru most of 2007, he told the public that he was “born in Kenya.” His PR flacks want you to believe that they made a simple mistake, like me typing “Hawaii” when I meant to type “Kenya.” But that is complete, [...]

I know. Look, as I have written all along–BARACK OBAMA WAS BORN IN HAWAII. That said, we also need to admit that there was a time in his life when he was willing to play the Kenya card: Is this cool or what? It is time for the press to fully explore why Obama lied [...]

It has started. The panic is full blown in Greece and the contagion will spread to Italy, Spain and Portugal. This is turning ugly and will infect the United States. Initially, for the United States, things will appear swell. Why? We will be the safehaven for those pulling their money out of Greece. Out dollar [...]

Important, watershed events are unfolding in Europe and the United States media is obsessing about whether or not Mitt Romney was an asshole in high school fifty years ago. The combination of economic and political events that are shaking Europe include the rejection of austerity politicians in France, Germany and Greece, the emergence of political [...]

Watching the United States and the political theater from afar is quite instructive. For starters, you quickly realize how much bullshit and fluff dominate the U.S. airwaves. Consider, for example, the bullshit, bogus story that Mitt Romney is a gay bully. The foreign coverage of this is correctly puzzled by the fact that a story [...]

* BUMPED UP * from May 9, 16:29. Bronwyn here: Odd, isn’t it, that this story faded after Obama confessed his “for me personally” views on gay marriage. Larry’s post tells us why the intel mole story is critically important, incalculably more than ineffectual musings on gay marriage. Media rationales: (concluded at end) News media [...]

How in the hell is Barack Obama supposed to remember there is a recession on and that millions of Americans are without jobs? He’s got a lot on his mind. Playing golf: Sending the family on pricey vacations:

I’ve watched with great amusement Elizabeth Warren claim her status as a “Native American.” What a hoot! Unlike Elizabeth, I do have a direct connection. My dad’s grandma and grandpa were named, Cora Adkins and Lon Logan Adkins. Turns out that my family engaged in a bit of incest (you know, the game the whole [...]

I’m working in Europe for the next several weeks and have a front row seat to the turmoil rocking the continent. Germany is the only country unfazed, so far, by the economic disruption. But recent political events in both France and Greece, along with the turmoil bubbling beneath the surface in Spain and Italy, are [...]

Like the Titanic as it settled beneath the waves, the U.S. economy is underwater and headed for the bottom again. The jobs report today was not just “bad,” it was alarming. Unlike previous reports, the media, both written and electronic, have caught on and realize that sunny praise sung by the White House about a [...]

* Bumped Up * God bless my friend and former colleague, “RETIRED,” for his pithy, insightful comments on the question of torturing suspected terrorists. His recommendation that you read the Ali Soufan book, The Black Banners, and compare his story with the nonsense spun by Jose Rodriguez in Hard Measures is spot on. If you [...]
