Everyone following the political dynamics of this administration knows their ‘poker tell’, it’s brutally obvious.

This administration shows their fear with the sheer rabidity of what they proclaim not to be doing.

Today the White House, and every single senior official, is publically shouting about President Obama NOT going to watch the Benjamin Netanyahu speech to congress. A brutally transparent falsehood identified easily by the scope of the public protestations therein.

In order to fully understand what is at stake one only needs to accept the empirical reality that “control is a reaction to fear”. The absence of control breeds a fear that reaches fevered pitches when the causation is about to take stage. This is the sentiment echoing through the halls of the marbled executive branch and the offices at Foggy Bottom tonight as the professional political class try and cope with their fear.

But if control is the reaction to fear, and the lack of control stimulates a frenzied fear response, then what exactly is it that Team Obama fear so openly? As highlighted within this CNN presentation the answers are brutally obvious: (more…)

Last week Secretary John Kerry said no-one should trust anyone else’s opinion on the Iranian deal/negotiations because no-one knows the specifics.

However, if that’s accurate, then why is Kerry/Obama claiming today they are concerned about “leaks” and worried about what Benjamin Netanyahu may, or may not, say tomorrow?

An article today highlights the Obama administration’s decision to cut Israel out of the information pipeline due to the possibility that Israel would expose the details of any intelligence information.

This is a ridiculous U.S. assertion for multiple reasons; not the least of which is A.) Israel has far more accurate intelligence regarding Iran, and, B.) Israel would be the recipient of any adverse consequence from such a security compromise.

What President Obama and Secretary Kerry are more likely concerned with is Netanyahu exposing a reality that Obama and Kerry are hiding information and misleading congress. (more…)

In 2009 President Obama’s Education Department named Atlanta’s Beverly Hall “School Superintendent of The Year”, the educational equivalent of the Nobel Prize.

Ironically, that same year it was discovered that Mrs. Hall led the largest cheating scandal in public education history in order to achieve the remarkable educational results.

In 2011, facing a growing investigation, Mrs. Hall retired – and throughout 2011, 2012 and 2013 a Georgia Bureau of Investigation criminal inquiry took place. After two years 36 educators under the leadership of Beverly Hall were indicted for a massive institutional race-based cheating scandal.

Today the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports Mrs. Hall died – her legacy, her illegal legacy, her cheating legacy, remaining: (more…)

… and then something conspicuously and politically surreptitious happened.

The transparency of the Democrat’s big picture targeting is brutally obvious. It has long been rumored that former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley might just be the greatest threat to a Hillary Clinton bid for the 2016 Democrat presidential nomination.

Why,… it was just yesterday the New York Times highlighted O’Malley’s progressive bona fides, and a veiled shot at Dame Hillary.

[NYT]  Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor who is likely to seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2016, took a veiled shot at a potential rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a speech in South Carolina on Saturday, criticizing the politics of “triangulation” that have historically been associated with the Clintons.

“The most fundamental power of our party and our country is the power of our moral principles,” Mr. O’Malley said, according to a transcript of his remarks provided by an aide.

[…] “Triangulation is not a strategy that will move America forward. History celebrates profiles in courage, not profiles in convenience.”  (link)

Then today, something politically surreptitious happened which might just change the angle of O’Malley’s approach: (more…)

Yes, Secretary Kerry actually said that in response to ABC’s Martha Raddatz challenging Kerry on the administration talking points vs. the reality of what is actually taking place in Iraq.

@5:00 (above) “nobody should count on what they’ve read, or what they’ve seen”

Move along, move along….. nothing to see here random folks…. move along !

But wait, it gets better. (more…)

Despite the professional written (not subtle) threat sent by Senators Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin [via: “nice place you got there Bibi, be a shame if anything happened to it“… (see below)] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still plans to speak to a joint session of congress.

Feeling more than a little irked by Netanyahu not cowering to the mighty Senator’s demands – today she called him “arrogant”. (more…)

An alarming report from Kuwait has surfaced which outlines a 2014 Israeli decision to bomb part of the Iranian nuclear facility, and President Obama finding out -through a U.S. State Dept source- about the plan.

According to the report the U.S. administration told the diplomatic couriers the U.S. would challenge any Israeli flight and would shoot down if needed.

The Kuwaiti media report, while using numerous unnamed U.S. sources, holds a great deal of credence if read by anyone who has researched the players and their historical positions within the U.S. as it relates to Obama’s ideology.

Specifically the aspect of Zbigniew Brzezinski who we know holds a tremendous amount of historical sway with President Obama.

[…]  Former US diplomat Zbigniew Brzezinski, who enthusiastically campaigned for Obama in 2008, called on him to shoot down Israeli planes if they attack Iran. “They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?” said the former national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter in an interview with the Daily Beast.

Don’t let your jaw drop too far, this fundamental change is not just happening in college application processes.  This exact same methodology is also being applied to Credit Scores for home mortgages and car loans.

(Via LA TIMES) In a windowless classroom at an Arcadia tutoring center, parents crammed into child-sized desks and dug through their pockets and purses for pens as Ann Lee launches a PowerPoint presentation.

Her primer on college admissions begins with the basics: application deadlines, the relative virtues of the SAT versus the ACT and how many Advanced Placement tests to take.

Then she eases into a potentially incendiary topic — one that many counselors like her have learned they cannot avoid.

“Let’s talk about Asians,” she says.

Lee’s next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton University study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect admissions by using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term “bonus” to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant’s race is worth. She points to the first column.

African Americans received a “bonus” of 230 points, Lee says. (more…)

This is a rather interesting inside peek into the mindset filling the various boards of “higher education” within the U.S. University system. As you watch the video imagine the people around the table questioning someone because they were “Muslim”, or “Christian”.

Watch what happened at the UCLA student meeting when a Jewish student applied to be a member of the student government’s Judicial Board. In 2015, we’d like to believe that the world has moved beyond race, gender, and religious discrimination, yet recent events portray something much more disturbing.

The left-wing of the political spectrum is so wildly entrenched in a hate filled ideology, these student and faculty leaders’ can’t even see the scope of their hypocrisy, let alone the illegality of conduct. (more…)

Running out of other people’s money….

(Reuters) – Chicago drew closer to a fiscal free fall on Friday with a rating downgrade from Moody’s Investors Service that could trigger the immediate termination of four interest-rate swap agreements, costing the city about $58 million and raising the prospect of more broken swaps contracts.

The downgrade to Baa2, just two steps above junk, and a warning the rating could fall further still, means the third-biggest U.S. city could face even higher costs in the future if banks choose to terminate other interest-rate hedges against fluctuations in interest rates.

All told, Chicago holds swaps contracts covering $2.67 billion in debt, according to a disclosure late last year. (more…)
