No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper:
The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

It’s quite a spectacular big-budget production of ugly, isn’t it? We couldn’t make this stuff up.
Actually, The Beast has been sliming the Windy City for a long time. Organized crime and dirty politics (“vote early and vote often and include your dead family members and pets while you are at it”) dominated Chicago [...]

From the NYTimes’s Caucus Blog, via Time’s Mark Halperin: “Nearly two decades ago, Valerie Jarrett hired a young lawyer named Michelle Obama for a job at Chicago’s City Hall. Now President-elect Barack Obama has hired Ms. Jarrett for a senior role in the White House.
“Ms. Jarrett’s role will be threefold, as is her title: White [...]

From today’s Washington Times — you know, that major newspaper whose reporter was kicked off of Obama’s plane last week, along with reporters for the New York Post and Dallas Morning News (see American Girl in Italy’s “love me, or else!)”:
A former Illinois real estate specialist says FBI agents have questioned him about a Chicago [...]

OF NOTE: Shortly The story is up — a breaking-news story on the FBI’s investigation of the Obamas’ purchase of this mansion, thanks to a great tip from Jeremiah Goddamn Amerikkka Wright, our indispensable reader and radio show host (tonight!).

Let’s tie this open thread’s chief topic to Truthteller’s significant breaking story, “BREAKING: Obama Land Deal with Rezko and Mutual Bank Subject of New Court Complaint.”
Recently, a friend asked for information on now convicted Tony Rezko and Barack Obama. Here’s what I sent her, from more stories on the Obamas’ mansion to Obama’s entanglements [...]

No Quarter introduced readers to the Mutual Bank in Chicago after a Chicago Sun-Times columnist mentioned how a certain financial institution in Chicago would become the subject of a federal probe to be conducted by Fitzgerald’s prosecutors in relation to the conviction of Antoin “Tony” Rezko. Although I cautioned I did not have conclusive [...]

Just like the real estate bubble, which exploded like the Death Star, the Worship Our Savior Barack train is going to derail. According to the Washington Times, a criminal complaint has been filed by a real estate appraiser who claims a fraudulent appraisal was used for the lot eventually sold to Barack Obama:
A former [...]

**********Truthteller asks bloggers and reporters to direct their attention to Amrish Mahajan and the Mutual Bank of Harvey.**********
Mike Robinson’s AP article entitled “Obama Fundraiser, Convicted of Fraud, Spills Beans,” corroborates what we at No Quarter have been writing for weeks: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is cooperating with federal prosecutors interested in Barack Obama. While the [...]

We’ve known for a while that Tony Rezko is likely talking with federal prosecutors, since his sentencing after being convicted of wire and mail fraud, money laundering, aiding and abetting bribery has been indefinitely delayed. This is considered a sign that Rezko is providing information that will mitigate against his potential sentence. [...]

But sadly, too many people choose to ignore it, or accept it, or just call you a racist for noticing it. But the pattern is there. It begins like this:
Obama has a friend or associate that is questionable.
Video or articles surface of Obama thanking them, supporting them, writing a blurb for their book, organizing events [...]

We warned readers of No Quarter of the problems convicted slumlord and political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko would create for Obama during the final stretch of the Presidential campaign, and now we have confirmation. I quote the Associated Press:
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing of convicted [...]

No Quarter reproduced Rezko’s letter to Judge Amy St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 in an essay I published on 12 JUN 2008. I quote Antoin “Tony” Rezko:
Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly [...]

Oh. Dear. GODDESS. Are you freakin’ kidding me? I had heard talk of such a thing, but I cannot believe they are actually doing this.

Now this is just ironic. Some of you may recall that not too long ago, Andrew Sullivan attacked yours truly. My sister sent me a link to Andrew’s latest drivel, more attack on Sarah Palin (if you feel you must read his piece, here is the LINK). For him to use an undocumented comment by [...]

So you thought the problem of Barack and Michelle Obamas’ 2005 mansion purchase was dead and buried.
Well, not any more.
A reader of my website who is a tax accountant of many years, one who specializes in criminal matters, says he believes the Obamas have a tax problem.
Simply put, the allocation of [...]

So these must be the “Green Jobs” Barack Obama is thinking about. A couple of hundred thousand consultants. Wonderful. It’s a great way to hire and boost the income of friends and family though. That doesn’t include You, suckers. Just so you know.
While most Americans find that what once was their disposable income is now [...]

We wrote several articles — here, here, and here — on reports last week about the favorable home loan that the Obamas received for the $1.6 milion mansion they couldn’t afford, but which the now-convicted Tony Rezko made possible. We pointed to the connections between Chicago’s Crown family, billionaire industrialists and constant Obama campaign [...]
