When President Erdogan loses that also means his ideological brother, President Obama, also loses…
Beirut (AFP) – Kurdish fighters have expelled Islamic State group militants from inside the Syrian border town of Kobane, a monitor said Monday, dealing a key symbolic blow to the jihadists’ ambitions.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor, said fighters from the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) had pushed IS militants out of the town after four months of fighting. (more…)
This video is posted by The Washington Free Beacon as an example of punditry discussing the White House ineptitude. However, this video is actually more reflective of something far more annoying.
Every one of these “pundits” have spent the last six years extoling the virtues of President Obama’s brilliant foreign policy. Every single one of these panelists have written columns, given opinion, and appeared on TV shows telling the consuming sheeple how brilliant President Obama was.
Now they sit around presenting themselves as some form of disconnected gallery observers talking about how the consequences of those same policies they exalted are abject failures.
Insufferable does not begin to explain the level of hypocrisy within the U.S. Obama Pretorian guard media. These are the same people who claimed the Libyan R2P program was magnanimous, yet the result is anarchy, civil war and chaos. (more…)
While Egypt, UAE and Saudi Arabia are actively pressuring Qatar to stop funding terrorists, successfully forcing Qatar to stop providing safe harbor for 6 Muslim Brotherhood terrorists (who transferred to Turkey), President Obama is funneling U.S. captured terrorists into Qatar. Go figure… (Via Daily Beast) Before he was released from a U.S. maximum-security prison last week, a confessed al Qaeda sleeper agent was offered up in a potential prisoner swap that would have freed two Americans held abroad.
The Daily Beast has learned that the proposal was floated in July 2014 to the then-U.S. ambassador in Qatar by an individual acting on behalf of that country’s attorney general. According to two individuals with direct knowledge of the case, the proposition was made shortly after the Obama administration traded five Taliban fighters for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
Those fighters were also sent to Qatar, where they’re to remain under government watch until later this year. U.S. officials have said they’re at risk of plotting further attacks against the United States. (more…)
Denis McDonough, President Obama’s Chief of Staff, was questioned today about the collapse of the entire Yemeni government. In his response you find the ridiculous evidence of how the White House is totally incompetent/inept. McDonough is asked “did we not see this coming”?
His initial response comes at 1:00 min.
“Let us remind everybody what the president was saying when he made those remarks a couple of months ago that everyone is referring to. He’s saying that; given that al-Qaeda is going to hide in dark spaces, and take advantage of tumultious political situations [..] we should have a partnership strategy that works to press governments … to make sure that they are making the right political choices”…
Moments later, the ineptitude surfaces and the quote is at 03:45:
“We were not surprised that this government collapsed; we knew this was an ongoing challenge over the course of the last several months.”
Within three minutes, on the same show, McDonough states President Obama was recognizing Yemen “several months ago” as a representative example of success, to President Obama knew “several months ago” that Yemen was about to collapse.
…Any questions?
HOLLYWOOD – American Sniper has set its sights on another record: Within a matter of days, it will overtake Steven Spielberg’s WWII classic Saving Private Ryan to become the top-grossing war-themed film of all time in North America, not accounting for inflation.
Clint Eastwood’s history-making movie jumped the $200 million mark on Sunday, putting it ahead of Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor, another WWII title topping out at $198.5 million domestically in 2001. American Sniper is distinct from those two film in being set during a modern-day conflict.
Saving Private Ryan, released in 1998, earned $216.7 million […] Sniper will cross $216 million sometime this week for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow. (more…)
Police have a tough job. However, like all professions there are good police officers and bad police officers. Unfortunately, when you encounter a bad police officer the disparity of power over your liberty is beyond that found in any other person-to-person engagement. Therefore a higher standard of conduct is both expected and required. Between the terms “legally justifiable” and “reasonable under the circumstances” there is a razor thin dividing line where police officers can, at times, walk tenuously on either side – depending on their own dispositions. This recent shooting is one such example. Depending on your own individual perspectives and experiences you can view this video as “justifiable” and/or “excessive”, and perhaps even both. Warning on GRAPHIC CONTENT: Muskogee, OK – Police on Friday released body-camera video of a fatal officer-involved shooting outside a wedding. (more…)
The willful blindness of the U.S. media is becoming a parody unto itself.
The outbreak of the Measles virus is gaining attention as medical reports begin to accumulate by the day. Yet, no-one in the legacy media claims to be able to see the similarity to the Enterovirus D-68 outbreaks.
So, again, let’s look at outbreak maps and compare: (more…)
[Warner Bros. Distribution President Dan Fellman] joyfully recounted the phone call he placed to Eastwood last weekend, when he said “Clint, this is your biggest [opening] weekend ever.”
How’d he respond? “He’s the coolest dude on the planet, you know,” Fellman said. “He said, ‘Gee, man, that’s great.'”
Warner Bros. has been in business with Eastwood for many years, Fellman added — but “this kind of thing certainly required a phone call to the house.”
CNN MONEY – […] Indeed, it’s commanded the attention of the entire motion picture industry — and that attention is now turning toward this weekend, when the movie expands to 3,705 screens, 150 more than it was on last weekend.
The new record: this is the “widest release ever for an R-rated movie,” according to the definitive industry news site Box Office Mojo. (more…)
The actual email (HatTip Gateway Pundit) from Saint Louis Police Chief Jon Belmar to the conspiring political scheme team adds more sunlight toward their endeavors. What a slimy crew: Some of the behind-the-scene details are quite revealing. Including Belmar specifically stating the security at Ferguson PD was insufficient considering the “potential protests problems”. It was this request which was refused by Missouri Governor Nixon. Additionally, you’ll note the pressure to make Officer Darren Wilson resign or Rep Clay would not be permitted to assist; and concerns of their agenda being exposed with the note “guard against making the presser appear to be anti-Law Enforcement”.

It’s always cute when the media thinks they are telling us something we don’t know because they’ve hidden the truth for so long…
(Via MediaIte) NBC’s chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel said on Friday that President Barack Obama‘s statement on the passing of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud was ironic and just an attempt at being polite because in reality, the late king “could not stand” President Obama.
According to Engel, Saudi Arabia was against the “democratization” that the U.S. encouraged with its support for the Arab Spring and its opposition to former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
“One of the big ironies here is that President Obama, in his statement, said how close he was to King Abdullah — King Abdullah did not like President Obama,” Engel said. “In fact, a lot of people I know that are quite close to the late King Abdullah said that the king could not stand President Obama.” (link)
