Flashback: Sen. Obama Goes to Iraq, Thinks He Knows More Than Gen. Petraeus
by Shifra on December 8, 2015POTUS is a legend… in his own mind. So, why bother taking advice from the peasants? Via Weekly Standard: ….Barack Obama remains committed to a failed strategy against an enemy he has long underestimated in a war he has no plans to win. Nothing has changed. And this time, what’s past truly is prologue…. Four months before he was elected president, Obama traveled to Iraq for briefings on the war he had long opposed. He met with General David Petraeus, who was then seeking to consolidate U.S. and coalition gains resulting from the surge in American forces and the Anbar Awakening. When Petraeus insisted that Iraq, not Afghanistan, was the central front in the war against al Qaeda, Obama challenged...

Elite NYC Private School Teaches Swastika Is Symbol of ‘Peace’
by Shifra on December 1, 2015The Ethical Culture Fieldston School is an elite private school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. What? You thought all of the Bronx looked like the movie ‘Ft. Apache, the Bronx’ ? Riverdale is a tony section of the Bronx, and no self-respecting person living there will ever respond “the Bronx” when asked where they live. It’s always: Riverdale Tuition at the Fieldston School is $45,000 a year. And looks like these parents are really getting their money’s worth for their little darlings. Not. Via NY Post: …As The Post reported, swastikas have been popping up all over campus this fall and a notebook was found with the words “Hitler Rocks” on the front. At least one student at...

Oops: TV Station Uses Nazi Graphic In Jewish Holiday ‘Yom Kippur’ Segment
by Shifra on September 24, 2015Oy Vey. Happy…Holocaust? Via JTA: A Chicago news station used a graphic of a yellow badge, like those the Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust, to illustrate its report on the start of Yom Kippur. WGN-TV aired the report on Tuesday night, hours into the Jewish Day of Atonement. The badge — shaped like the Star of David and featuring the word “Jude,” German for “Jew” — appeared atop concentration-camp-uniform stripes, and above the caption “Yom Kippur.” WGN sought atonement for the graphic on Wednesday. The anchor who delivered the the Yom Kippur report said on air: “Major correction tonight: We couldn’t see this from the set here, but in our story about Yom Kippur we apparently used...

Oops: Lib Site Vox Uses FDR’s National Recovery Act Logo For NRA Post
by Shifra on August 28, 2015In 1933, congress passed the National Recovery Act, giving FDR’s Administration power to regulate industries and set prices in an attempt to stimulate economic recovery. And, surprise! It did not work. But you would think Liberal website Vox would know their Progressive history. Or, did they think the National Rifle Association is now regulating chocolate? Before Vox had a chance to delete the tweet, Twitter had some fun with it: @back_ttys Holy crap! These people have never heard of the National Recovery Administration. And I thought FDR was one of their heroes. — Vile Koch Myrmidon (@heatpacker) August 27, 2015 .@back_ttys Nice picture! When cocoa is outlawed only outlaws will have cocoa! #NRA — Mike aka Proof (@ProofBlog) August 27,...

Liberal Math: $15 Minimum Wage = $30 Pizzas = 25% Drop In Sales
by Shifra on August 18, 2015Yes, raising the minimum wage hurts business and causes job loss. But the Dems keep pushing it. Because…fairness! Via Breitbart: ….Last month, the small Bay Area town of Emeryville, California, (population 10,000) decided to act as flag-bearer for raising the minimum wage in California, hiking its minimum wage to $14.44 per hour. Even though businesses with less than 56 workers are exempt from the $14.44 rate and do not have to raise their wages to $15 until 2018, Vic Gumper, who owns Lanesplitter Pizza, with outlets in Berkeley, Oakland, Albany and Emeryville, decided not only to bite the bullet but swallow it, paying his workers $15 to $25 an hour while eschewing tips or raising prices. He advertised his $30...

EPA Head: If You Can’t Find A Decent Job, Blame Climate Change!
by Shifra on August 14, 2015“Global Warming/Climate Change” has already been blamed for so many awful and horrible catastrophic events: Yes, from ‘shrinking loaves of bread,’ to bubonic plague, bigger spiders (aacckk!), chocolate disappearing from the planet by 2020 (oh, the horror), and cow infertility. And now, add this to your list: Via CNS: EPA Administrator: Climate Change Affects ‘Our Ability to Earn a Decent Living’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy said on Tuesday that climate change affects “everything and everyone we love,” including our ability to secure a livelihood…. She did not expand on how climate change affects people’s ability to earn a living, but according to the American Action Forum, the Clean Power Plan will mean thousands of people losing their...

Sharpton *Shocked* At Suggestion That People Who Work Harder Earn More
by Shifra on August 11, 2015And I am shocked that he has a TV show. I will be even more shocked if I hear that anyone actually watches. Via NewsBusters: In the liberal universe, there’s no correlation between hard work or ingenuity and financial success. As President Obama recently put it, the rich are simply “society’s lottery winners.” Sounding a similar theme, Al Sharpton today declared it “astounding” that Rand Paul believes that income inequality is due to “some people working harder.” ….Note that Sharpton also recycled the canard that Jeb Bush said people needed to work longer hours whereas the context made clear he was calling for the availability of more full-time jobs….

Paranoia Alert: Turks Capture Israeli ‘Spy’ Balloon
by Shifra on August 10, 2015Wow, these Israelis sure are sneaky: Spy ducks, a spy vulture, Mossad shark attacks, anti-Arab rats, and now: secret spy balloons! No word, yet, if the spy balloon was executed… Via Israel National News: Locals excited at finding UFO in air quickly change tack to accuse Israel of nefarious tourist balloon, joining pantheon of ‘spy’ charges. Turkish residents refused to be disappointed from their conspiracy theories on Thursday, after their wonder at an alleged UFO they spotted in the skies quickly morphed into anti-Israel hostility when they claimed the Israeli tourist balloon they found was a “spy balloon.” ….Locals saw what they believed to be a UFO floating in the air… They were disappointed to find that the object, which...

‘PC-Paralyzed’ DHS Head Refuses To Call Islamic Terror ‘Islamic’
by Shifra on July 29, 2015Jeh Johnson, the head of the Dept. of Homeland Security, attended a security forum last week, where he insisted it is “critical” not to use the word “Islamic” when referring to the terrorist group ISIS. Johnson’s agency should be renamed: “Department of Homeland Insecurity.” Via IBD: ….Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson refuses to call Islamic terror “Islamic,” arguing it’s “critical” to refrain from the label in order to “build trust” among Muslims. In jaw-dropping remarks Friday at Aspen Institute’s annual security forum, Johnson said the government will call such attacks “violent extremism” over “Islamic terrorism” out of respect for the Muslim community. The policy explains why the U.S. prosecutor and lead FBI investigator in the Chattanooga case still insist on...

Liberal Nonsense Alert: Martin O’Malley Claims ‘Climate Change’ Created ISIS
by Shifra on July 22, 2015Ok, kids, please take notes. This is from Democrat Candidate Martin O’Malley, and it’s very deep: See, there was this mega-drought in Syria, due to ‘Climate Change,’ which wiped out farmers, which caused people to move to cities, which created a humanitarian crisis, which created extreme poverty, which led to the creation of ISIS, which led to extreme violence, which…blah blah.

Clueless On CNN: Is Chattanooga Killer’s Name Muslim?
by Shifra on July 17, 2015With such “brilliant” analysis, is there any wonder that in the latest Cable News ratings, CNN came in last? Via Daily Caller: CNN’s national security analyst Tom Fuentes said he wasn’t sure whether or not the Kuwaiti man who murdered four marines in Chattanooga, TN — Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez — had a “Muslim name” during the network’s live coverage of the incident. “First of all,” Fuentes said to anchor John Berman. “I know what the name sounds like, but we don’t know that it’s a Muslim name. We know that it’s an Arabic name, but we don’t know what this individual was believing in, and that’s what they’ll be trying to determine.” Related: Breitbart: Weekly Ratings: Hate Network CNN Loses...

Liberal Fascism Alert: Dem Calls For DOJ Lawsuit Against ‘Climate Change Deniers’
by Shifra on June 29, 2015Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) wants the Justice Dept. to prosecute everyone who disagrees with him on ‘climate change.’ Which is much less draconian than last year’s demand, by an assistant professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, that all “climate change deniers’ should be incarcerated. Looks like Tammy’s 2001 book, The New Thought Police, is still remarkably relevant. Via Daily Caller: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is not a fan of anyone who disagrees with him about man-made global warming. And at an event hosted by environmentalists, he made it clear just how much he doesn’t like skeptics. “But, this vast denial apparatus that propagates the false doubt, that props up the phony science, that gets these yahoos who can’t survive …...

Did POTUS Just Downgrade His Own Hopey/ Changey Promise?
by Shifra on June 24, 2015Well, well… What a difference seven years make. Remember when Obama promised the rise of the oceans would begin to slow? But yesterday, he told us that the oceans will be soon rising up to four feet! (Better tell Al Gore, who owns a $9 million Montecito oceanfront villa, to run for the hills!) Via CNS News: Speaking at an event held in a private home in San Francisco on Friday evening, President Barack Obama warned: “Well within our children’s lifetimes, on our current pace, the oceans go up maybe two, maybe three, maybe four feet.” In the speech, the president said: “There are two things in particular that these days I’m spending a lot of time thinking about. The...

Crazy Alert: Susan Sarandon Blames Homelessness On Ronald Reagan
by Shifra on May 19, 2015Looks like Sarandon’s heart is in the right place. It’s her mind that’s scrambled. Here she is on the Tavis Smiley Show, plugging her son’s documentary on homelessness: Via NewsBusters: Actress Susan Sarandon Still Blames Ronald Reagan for Homeless Problem “I think that the conversation changed around the Reagan era, where everything was your fault.” Sarandon replied when asked why the issue of homelessness has fallen “off the radar for discussion.” “And so you blamed, you were blamed for not trying hard enough, you know, from drinking, for drugs, whatever. Just like in the AIDS epidemic the focus went on your lifestyle as opposed to what was actually happening.” And then I think as the economy got tougher for so...

Video: Mika Makes Faces At Netanyahu’s Iran Remarks
by Shifra on April 2, 2015Note to Mika: When Tammy gives Alan Colmes the “Eye Roll” (Mondays at 11:30 a.m. on Fox News), it’s clever, sharp, and well-deserved. But when you do the eye roll…you look like a dodo bird. Via Newsbusters: Bibi’s Criticism of Iran Deal Has Mika Making Faces
