BH e-mailed this question: “Remember when the three big auto companies got beat up for taking a plane [corporate jets] to Washington.  My question is whether or not Obama is obligated to reimburse for all his flights to campaign instead of using our money?   This must be costing us support him or not millions”.

BH, Yup, actually it costs us billions.   Essentially the way it works is so long as their is an offical public duty, or presidential event, at the destination then the entire cost is carried by the taxpayer.   If the event is exclusively for campaigning, then the Obama Campaign must reimburse expenses.

Of course you know what happens is the Administration schedules a policy speech, or an official presidential outreach appearance, in the same geographic vicinity to the campaign stop/fundraiser.   That way they don’t have to pay for it. (more…)

Question:   Um, Where’s the media on this?

Professor Jacobson continues to deconstruct the feeble:  For how long will Warren defenders maintain the charade that she did not practice law in Massachusetts?

[…]  Warren defenders argued that if she only represented non-Massachusetts clients in non-Massachusetts cases which did not involve Massachusetts law, she was not practicing law “in Massachusetts” even if she was practicing law in Cambridge.  Other strawman arguments included that as long as Warren complied with federal court admission requirements, Massachusetts could not require her to be licensed.  For reasons I have explained, those arguments are wrong.  […]

[…]  Yet still, Warren defenders persist in defending on the basis that Warren just wrote a few Briefs for out of state cases and never did anything for a Massachusetts client in Massachusetts, much less on a Massachusetts issue of law. (more…)

The legacy propaganda media machines, all of them, are in full re-elect Obama overdrive.

All economic data is being strategically, and manipulatively reported to create a false narrative and prop up President Obama.   It is getting so brutally obvious, it’s absurd.  When you hear the term “consumer confidence“, you can guarantee that things are worsening.   Why?  Because the media “fall-back” position is always to focus on emotion.

Economic cognitive dissonance = Factual Economic Deniers

Without getting wonky and stuck in the  weeds, let’s focus on the reality and practicality behind the wonk. (more…)

This is a picture of Hillary Clinton and her Personal Aide Philippe Reines.

Mr. Reines sent an email, in his official capacity as spokesperson for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a response to a media inquiry about the CNN report on Ambassador Christopher Stevens’ journal.

At first, I thought the email exchange was a spoof.   However, several sites have confirmed its authenticity.    Warning: The content of the email is exceptionally vulgar.  If you read it you’ll understand why I thought it was faked.   READ IT HERE

Unreal.    This is an offical correspondence from the State Department of The United States of America.  Our State Department. (more…)

…. the only thing the “Clinton” duo are concerned with are The Clinton’s.  P.E.R.I.O.D.

During a discussion last week with Admin Sharon I remarked: “watch Fareed Zakaria for directional intent on the Beghazi coverup“….   Fareed’s Sunday Talker, unknown at the time, would present the primary consideration for optical political positioning.

Why Fareed is an entirely “other story”, but suffice to say “it’s true”.

And who showed up?  Bill Clinton.   Why?  The future Democrat Party ‘risk assessment’ is more weighted toward protecting Hillary Clinton than President Obama.   Again, I repeat these are two ideologically aligned, but yet opposing, contingents within the greater progressive movement.

But, as people hold a favorable opinion of both Bubba and Pantsuits, let there be no doubt how horribly self-serving, manipulative, and self-indulgent the power-hungry Clintons are.   Sharon drops a link to a BuzzFeed article which outlines some of the narrative reasoning: (more…)

Here are two videos that positively shred two divergent, but connected, aspects regarding the complete lying of the mainstream US media regarding recent Egyptian and Libyan issues.

The first is a Canadian report by Brian Lilley and upon watching needs no further explanation (Hat Tip Richard Branson):

The media loves to beat conservatives over the head with “gaffes” as they define them.   Consider this Obama statement about recent events in Egypt and Libya being “bumps in the road” against the backdrop of a sodomized murdered American Ambassador, his aid slaughtered and burned, and two former Navy Seals murdered while saving the lives of 20 consulate employees….. under the attack from rabid Islamists.  – Seriously –

“the question presumes that we somehow we could have stopped this wave of change”….

“Wave of Change”? WTF? Errr, no the question begs whether we could have stopped the 9-11 deaths of four Americans with diligence, better security, and intelligence warnings from the State Department. (more…)

Obama Campaign Quietly Ditches Faux Flag?  According to powerlineblog:  […] Barack Obama, however, has never been one to be deterred by bad taste. The larger problem was that, as many pointed out, the flag bore an uncanny resemblance to this grisly photograph taken at the American consulate in Benghazi:

So the Obama campaign has quietly ditched the flag poster, which now returns an error message if you try to buy it at the Obama store. (more…)

Mitt Romney released his tax returns from 2011 today.   He made roughly $13.7 million from his investments.   He paid $1.9 million in taxes and gave over $4 million to charity.

Giving 30% of your earnings to charity speaks loudly to the construct of a persons character because it’s what you do when you don’t *have to*.

Despite all of Mitt Romney’s shortcomings, most of which are optical stiffness, he and his wife are very genuine, honest, caring and generous people.
