NYT Reporter: Pressers More ‘Democratic’ Under Trump Than Obama
by Shifra on April 25, 2017Yes, those were pigs flying by your window yesterday 🙂 Via Free Beacon. New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush praised President Donald Trump for his press conferences and outreach to journalists during a panel discussion with two other reporters on Monday…. Thrush said reporters have been falling into a “trap” of saying that the “Golden Age” for freedom of the press was under Obama. “When Obama had press conferences, he had a single piece of white paper and he had six or seven organizations that he had pre-selected to call upon, and a lot of them were pretty favorable to him, too,” Thrush said….

(Video) CBS Hosts Grill Kaine on Hillary’s Lack of Press Conferences
by Shifra on September 1, 2016Finally! An actual question from the MSM challenging Queen Hillary’s campaign. And bonus follow-up question! Oh wait, was that a pig flying by my window? Via Washington Examiner. The hosts of “CBS This Morning” peppered Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., with questions Thursday morning about Hillary Clinton’s lack of press availability, prompting the Democratic nominee’s running mate to hint her campaign will be more open with reporters in the near future. The moment occurred as the the hosts discussed a joint press conference this week in Mexico City between GOP nominee Donald Trump and President Enrique Pena Nieto. “[Trump] immediately opened up the floor to reporters for questions. When will we see Hillary open up the floor and take questions from...

John Kerry: Terrorism Is A Bigger Threat Than Climate Change
by Shifra on June 17, 2016Yes, Kerry now thinks that ‘Climate Change’ is the #2 threat in the world. He also concedes that some terrorists are ‘radicalized for reasons having to do with religion.’ He didn’t mention which religion, though. But thank you, Captain Obvious. Via Washington Examiner. Secretary of State John Kerry this week acknowledged twice that the Islamic State and the threat of terrorism around the world is bigger threat than climate change, even though he has insisted in past years that climate is the bigger threat. Kerry revealed his subtle change of thinking during his trip to Europe, where he twice indicated that when it comes to global threats, terrorism is first, and climate change is a very close second. “[L]et me...

Liberal Columnist on Orlando Massacre: Maybe We Do Need a Temporary Ban, Just Until We Can Figure This Out
by Tammy on June 12, 2016“Maybe I’ve Been Wrong…” My respect to Tommy Christopher for having the courage to write this. He will, no doubt, face an avalanche of criticism from the left and he may even walk it back, but in the meantime he’s written a thoughtful, honest piece about keeping our nation safe in the midst of this war with Radical Islam. Via Mediaite. There’s a lot that is still unknown about the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida Sunday morning, but the things we do know are enough. At least 50 people are dead, including the shooting suspect who has been identified as Omar Mateen, making this the worst mass shooting in United States history. If law enforcement is correct, and this was...

Flying Pigs Moment: ‘The View’ Slams Hillary For Chuckling About “Strangle Carly”
by Shifra on November 12, 2015Kudos to Joy Behar for a very rare moment of being “fair and balanced.” Via NewsBusters: On Wednesday’s The View, liberal co-host Joy Behar surprisingly hit Hillary Clinton for failing to condemn one of her supporters who said he wanted to “strangle” Carly Fiorina. Behar admitted that “if somebody had said that to Donald Trump and he had laughed, we would be ripping him a new one and she did not — she should have stood up to him, I’m sorry, I have to say that.” ….

Saudi Journalist Praises Netanyahu, Calls Obama ‘One Of Worst Presidents Ever’
by Shifra on March 6, 2015As BizPac Review points out in Arab pundit unites with Israel’s Netanyahu; calls Obama ‘one of the worst American presidents’ ….This isn’t like a columnist or a blogger writing in the United States. Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a First Amendment – if opinions like this are making it into the “mainstream” press, it’s because they reflect the views of the government…. The translation is provided by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) ….Since Obama is the godfather of the prefabricated revolutions in the Arab world, and since he is the ally of political Islam, [which is] the caring mother of [all] the terrorist organizations, and since he is working to sign an agreement with Iran that will come at the...

CBS and CNN Mock White House For “Equal Pay” Meme
by Shifra on April 9, 2014Yes, another Flying Pigs Alert: John King of CNN and Major Garrett of CBS both call out Obama’s hypocrisy and “cherry picking” of work variables in his “Equal Pay” push. My “fav” comment is from John King: Obama is “sticking his hand in the blender.” Via The Weekly Standard: CBS: WH ‘Roughed Up By Its Own Pay Equity Rhetoric’ CNN on WH Equal Pay Push: ‘A Textbook Case … Of Do As I Say, Not As I Do’ Related: Washington Times: Obama’s equal pay mandate gives feds extraordinary new spying powers Washington Examiner: The ’77 cents for every dollar’ lie — and why President Obama keeps telling it Washington Free Beacon: Men Average $11,505 Higher Salary than Women in Dick...

China to Buy Smithfield Foods? Someone Call Paula Deen!
by Patricia on June 3, 2013Smithfield was founded in 1936 as a meat-packing plant in Virginia; it is currently a multi-million dollar industry and the nation’s number one producer of pork products. The idea that China, with its history of producing tainted products, may take over this American company is alarming. Hopefully, political pressure can stop the Smithfield deal which will face the scrutiny of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, a government panel that assesses national security risks. From Reuters China’s Shuanghui International plans to buy Smithfield Foods Inc (SFD.N) for $4.7 billion to feed a growing Chinese appetite for U.S. pork, but the proposed takeover of the world’s No. 1 producer has stirred concern in the United States....

Illegal Aliens in Utah “Wonder If Americans Are Being Given Preference Over Them.”
by Tammy on July 12, 2010What a concept! In a Pigs Flying moment, the state of Utah has decided to actually consider the full income of illegal aliens before throwing food stamps at them. You see, before this Utah wouldn’t consider the entire income of illegal aliens when it came to determining food stamp eligibility. Yet, for families in Utah that were actually comprised of American citizens, their full income was considered when assessing eligibility. Looks like the Days of Wine and Roses and Food Stamps You Really Don’t Deserve for Utah’s illegal aliens might be over. Bottom line: What Utah has done removes an incentive for illegal aliens to stay in this nation. We don’t need to discuss or consider something like deportation. Utah...

Someone Opened The Flying Pig Barn Door!
by Tammy on December 8, 2009Wow, not just one Flying Pig story today, but two! Well, I suppose when there’s one, there could be more. Or was that just about Tiger Woods? What? In this sighting of a second Flying Pig, the Washington Post offers up a…Sarah Palin op-ed! Sweet, and if I may say, baconny-good. But wait, how much Co2 do Flying Pigs emit anyway? Copenhagen’s political science With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue… “Climate-gate,” as the e-mails and...

A Decent Online Review for Palin–from the NYT
by Tammy on December 8, 2009It’s interesting when a review which is simply fair has to get the Flying Pig Award, but here it is. Yes, it is nice to see a review in the Lamestream Media that not only isn’t savage, but is written by a person who seems to have read the book, and while isn’t a fan of Palin’s politically, is honest about the book’s importance and impact. I will add, however, that this review is “exclusive online commentary”. Kudos to Stanley Fish, yet the NYT, it appears, does not have the courage to print the review in its paper. That doesn’t matter, though–especially considering Sarah Palin’s Facebook page now has a wider circulation than the New York Times 😉 Sarah Palin...
