The last time a federal budget was passed into law was September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 and it was signed by President Bush. President Obama has not had a single day in office with a federal budget, EVER.

For the first time in six years President Obama will actually meet a statutorily required deadline for submitting a federal budget. The Executive Branch budget proposals are due by the first Monday in February; however Obama usually blows off the rules. I digress.
This 2016 proposal is a little disingenuous no?

…”The president’s budget features a six-year, $478 billion public works program for upgrading the nation’s infrastructure, including roads, railroads and ports”….

Didn’t congress spend $1,000,000,000,000.00 (trillion) on Obama’s “stimulus plan”, aka “shovel ready jobs”, aka “American Reinvestment and Recovery Act”, for public works in 2009/2010? And what exactly did we get out of that little expenditure?
WASHINGTON DC – President Obama will unveil a $4 trillion budget Monday, featuring an ambitious public works program, a one-time tax on foreign profits kept overseas by corporations, tax credits for middle-class Americans, and a 1.3 percent pay raise for federal employees and troops. (more…)

Charles Blow is a racial antagonist, it’s what he does – it’s all he does. He wrote at length about how angry he was because his son was detained by a Yale Campus Police Officer – #BlackLivesMatter and #FTP in full swing. However, what he didn’t say was that the Campus officer was black, and/or that the Campus police Chief is also black.
Guess that doesn’t support his narrative….
(VIA WASHINGTON EXAMINER) On Saturday, Blow wrote on Twitter that he was “fuming” over a call he received from his son, a third-year student at Yale. He wrote that his son was “accosted” and held up at gunpoint by a Yale policeman because he fit the description of a suspect. Blow’s son, Tahj Blow, is an ecology and evolutionary biology major, according to the Yale Daily News.
In follow-up tweets related to the incident, Blow said, “This is exactly why I have no patience for people trying to convince me that the fear these young black men feel isn’t real.” He also tweeted the phrases “I can’t breathe” and “Black lives matter,” both of which are associated with two unarmed black men killed by white police officers in separate incidents in Missouri and New York.

Gee, ya think?

Libya is still arguably one of the least understood results from team Clinton/Obama. So here’s a quick recap summary. (more…)

Beyond the substance in the headlines is the reality many have outlined. A disconnected, amateur White House policy team removes a tenet of their prior tax/legislative proposal just days before they present the Fiscal Year 2016 budget proposal.
In addition, what the heck is Nancy Pelosi doing flying around with President Obama all week?   Obviously, Democrat political alliances are tenuous and trust amid the various factions of the Dem scheme team is now an issue…  This is an outcome of self-driven interests, but you won’t see it reported in the MSM.  The selfish frenzy and positioning is going to get worse once Hillary Clinton announces her intentions.

WASHINGTON — President Obama, facing angry reprisals from parents and from lawmakers of both parties, will drop his proposal to end popular college savings accounts known as 529s, but will keep an expanded tuition tax credit at the center of his college access plan, the White House said Tuesday.
The decision came just hours after House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio demanded the proposal be withdrawn from the president’s budget, due out Monday, “for the sake of middle-class families.” But the call for the White House to relent also came from top Democrats, including Representatives Nancy Pelosi of California, the minority leader, and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, the ranking member of the Budget Committee.
Ms. Pelosi pressed the case to senior administration officials on board Air Force One as she flew with the president from India to Saudi Arabia, according to Democratic aides familiar with the discussions. (more…)

We knew the patriotic sentiment behind American Sniper would hit a nerve amid the rapid leftists, but the sheer hatred exceeded even our expectations.
Enter Howard Dean and Bill Maher:

In 2010 Greece secured two bailouts worth €240 billion ($293 billion) from the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank, in return for wide reaching economic reforms.
The Greek government had to curtail intensely dependent social welfare programs. The number of homeless people in the Greek capital shot up as unemployment skyrocketed and businesses collapsed. Greece’s jobless rate currently stands at around 25% – and double that figure for young people.
In comes Alex Tsipras, leader of the far-left Syriza party, who surged in popularity on an anti-austerity platform. He promised everyone the entire country could go back on government welfare. Though vague on details, the party has promised to renegotiate the terms of the country’s bailout and deliver relief to fed up Greeks. (more…)

Perhaps the least understood of all the Obama/Clinton follies.
The recent rise of extremist violence within Europe actually explains the 2011 decision to remove gatekeeper Kaddaffi. The 2010 Rivkin Project in France, combined with EU leaders simultaneously admitting the failures of multiculturalism led to a knee-jerk globalist reaction from the far left to save their collectivist vision.

If you are willing to accept the world as it is, rather than as you might wish it to be, the answer is obvious.

♦  Tens of thousands of non-inoculated Mexican/South American children, and their families, have been using Obama’s open border policy to swarm into the United States.
♦  These kids/families, each with 90% no-show rates for the very first immigration hearing, then join public schools and daycare centers without consequence.  After all, there is a three year backlog of cases to find.
♦  Then, not coincidentally, a big surprise – Enterovirus and Measles outbreaks occur almost immediately along a pattern of immigration flow.

And the media is shocked, SHOCKED.
Reminder – […]  However, for our research hypothesis, more relevant than the CDC claim it has not found a link – is the admission the immigrant children were not known to have been tested for the resistant or dormant virus. (more…)

It takes a liberal to envision removing money from the economy so they can spend it on their quirky pet programs.   It takes a massive liberal to envision removing $90,000,000,000,000.00 from the pockets of the production class to advance their globalist world view.
(Daily Caller) Former Vice President Al Gore and former Mexican President Felipe Calderon are pushing for $90 trillion in spending to ban cars from every major city in the world and make them more dense.
Gore and Calderon presented a report from the Global Commission on the Economy & Climate (GCEC) and argued that fighting global warming will require making cities more compact and wholly reliant on public transit. This is the only way to make sure urban areas don’t contribute to global warming, the two politicians argued.
Calderon and Gore argued that $90 trillion is going to be spent anyways in the coming decades upgrading cities around the world. They argue that it should be spent on making cities more climate friendly. (more…)

My hat is off to the fine people at Rebel Pundit who put the stark reality of this together. Well done.
You see, it ain’t just Chicago – it’s everywhere.
The media are trying to keep people apart to benefit President Obama. Black VS. White; Rich VS. Poor; Men VS Women.. etc. Obama, and his ideological compatriots, want us all in our boxes, cattle cars  – easier to manage that way.   But that time has passed.
Enough.
It ain’t just in Chicago. These folks are talking for ordinary and invisible Americans.
