NEW YORK – In his new full-length documentary film, “There’s No Place Like Utopia,” Joel Gilbert found Peggy Joseph, the Florida voter who became infamous during the 2008 presidential campaign for saying Barack Obama would “pay for my gas and my mortgage.”
Surprisingly, some six years into the Obama presidency, Joseph has turned against the president, disappointed that he did not deliver on his “hope and change” campaign promises. (more…)
Glenn Beck joined Bill O’Reilly last night to talk about his planned border visit and the “angry death threats” he’s gotten from conservatives for doing so. Beck said he understands the anger, but insisted he has a “responsibility to God” to put aside politics and help people in need.
Beck said he’s raised $1.8 million dollars so far, but acknowledges the frustration many have with the broken immigration system. He said there are “some people [that] believe that I’m just gonna make things worse” and even “encouraging people to come here.” (more…)
No doubt the fact that Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s Egyptian government was the peace-broker for this deal had something to do with Hamas refusal to engage. Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood despise el-Sisi.
(Via The Blaze) […] A source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to TheBlaze on Monday that Bergin has, in fact, been suspended over his remarks about the black community and may end up being fired. The source said Bergin was asked not to come in Monday and Tuesday as the news station figures out how to handle the situation. News 12, a network of news stations serving various areas mostly in New York and New Jersey, did not return messages left by TheBlaze on Monday.
Here’s what Bergin said on the air (the politically incorrect part is around @2:00):
“We were besieged, flooded with calls from police officers furious that we would give media coverage to the life of a cop killer. It’s understandable. We decided to air it because it’s important to shine a light on the anti-cop mentality that has so contaminated America’s inner cities. This same, sick, perverse line of thinking is evident from Jersey City, to Newark and Patterson to Trenton.”
“It has made the police officer’s job impossible and it has got to stop. The underlying cause of all of this, of course: young black men growing up without fathers. Unfortunately, no one in the news media has the courage to touch that subject.” (link for more)
And that moment of brutal honesty cost him his job. But Eric Holder says “we’re a nation of cowards” when it comes to race. Gee, go figure, I wonder why..
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Regulatory Affairs Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, today pressed the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on yet another hard drive crash of an employee who disparaged Republicans and campaigned for President Obama in violation of the Hatch Act, which states that federal employees should not conduct political activities during work hours.

The dynamic and contrast could not be more stark. The majority secular Egyptian people continue to spotlight freedom principles and identify terrorists as just that, terrorists. Admittedly there are ideological elements inside Egypt, mainly the Muslim Brotherhood, which are aligned and supportive of Hamas. Fortunately, they are in the minority and being diminished daily. The bright light comes from the majority Egyptian people who worked diligently to remove the terror network from their own political constructs, and now continue to push back against the terror in surrounding countries, including Hamas. Egyptian people intelligently know who the terrorists are; they have lived through them. This makes them uniquely well skilled at putting the sunlight upon the shadow dwellers because they have lived through survived the propaganda. In addition, were it not for the Western trained and secular Egyptian military, the Brotherhood would still rule over them. Watching the evolution of Egypt in the past 4 years has been the single brightest ray of hope for a region severely lacking in it.(more…)
Obama’s buddy, Governor Deval Patrick, will feign ignorance…
(Doug Ross) Not only is the Obama administration secretly flying convoys of illegals around the country, but they’ve officially been caught lying about it.
…Illegal immigrants are being secretly flown to Massachusetts and kept in local lockups in an under-the-radar operation that has alarmed lawmen who are raising health and security concerns amid recent spikes in detainees coming up from Texas during the latest border crisis.
“We’re all becoming border sheriffs now with these people being carted all over the country,” said Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson… “The blame goes all the way up. It’s a travesty and people ought to be upset,” Hodgson said. “This is un-American and has raised the stakes to the public health and public safety threat.”
…On the receiving end of the buses from Hodgson’s facility was Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph D. McDonald Jr., who said he’s seen a jump in illegal immigrants arriving at his jail and had to deal with “scenarios where we’ve had 100-plus detainees coming in at the same time.”… (more…)
It’s an inevitable outcome. President Obama and DoD cannot allow Bowe Bergdahl to be found guilty of desertion and/or treason – it would make them look bad….
WASHINGTON — Six weeks after being released from five years in Taliban captivity, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is expected to return to life as a regular Army soldier as early as Monday, Defense Department officials said late Sunday.
Sergeant Bergdahl has finished undergoing therapy and counseling at an Army hospital in San Antonio, and will assume a job at the Army North headquarters at the same base, Fort Sam Houston, the officials said.
He is also expected to meet with Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, the officer who is investigating the circumstances of Sergeant Bergdahl’s disappearance from his outpost in Afghanistan in 2009.
Sergeant Bergdahl’s transfer from the therapy phase to a regular soldier’s job is part of his reintegration into Army life, officials said. He will live in barracks and have two other soldiers help him readjust. (more…)
We’ll keep repeating this because it takes a lot of effort to break through the lame stream media narrative AS THEY AVOID – AVOID – AVOID. President Obama, and by consequence his water-carrying cohorts, are on the wrong side of the majority of Americans on the border crisis. This recent article in The Hill, highlights the disconnect and the problem for Democrats in general. In 2011 President Obama stood on the banks of the Rio Grande and announced “the border is secure”. He went on to shout opposite opinion in that regard, “they want a moat – alligators in the moat”, was silly. In 2014 the unsecure border reality has become the “border crisis”, and is now haunting President Obama and his cohorts in ideology. They are beginning to twitch, visibly. A similar analogy would be to compare the controversial issue around the Islamic Mosque proposed for New York, at Ground Zero. The media and Dems worked feverishly to portray opposition as “bigoted and nativist”. But the reality was the majority of Americans opposed the entire premise. Try as hard as they would, it remained a losing issue for the Dems, but they held on to it as long as they could; eventually conceding collapse under the sheer weight of opposition. Quietly the issue disappeared. So too is this claim that expecting the border to be secure -from infiltrators of any ideology- is a bigoted position. It just won’t sell. Americans of all persuasions can see the depth of stupid; and when we say ‘of all persuasions’ we mean regardless of political tendencies. (more…)
