NOW…. Imagine – The college students are white, the ad shows a black woman welcoming back the students, and subsequently the students/alumni of the college begin to attack the company because they dare use a black woman in their ad.
How would the story of that race-reversed example be reflected in the media ? (more…)
He’s not even trying to make the audience believe any more. The Lip-Syncing lip movement is 3 or 4 seconds behind the soundtrack being broadcast.
WASHINGTON DC – In a bid to calm growing privacy concerns about the government’s spying powers, President Obama outlined a series of steps Friday aimed at ushering in “concrete and substantial” reforms to the National Security Agency.
“Americans recognized that we had to adapt to a world in which a bomb could be built in a basement and our electric grid could be shut down by operators an ocean away,” the president said during a major policy speech at the Department of Justice.
“And yet,” he added, “in our rush to respond to very real and novel threats, the risks of government overreach—the possibility that we lose some of our core liberties in pursuit of security—became more pronounced.” (more…)
I’ll admit to being a little frustrated with the Charles Krauthammer’s of the world who talk about ObamaCare self-destructing because it is financially “unsustainable”. This they also call the “death spiral” to describe the possible collapse of ObamaCare because the financial arrangements inherent within ObamaCare do not support it continuing.
Intellectually accurate. BUT, when you think about how current political progressives operate, PROFOUNDLY NAIVE and structurally false.
U.S. taxpayers will make up the difference between costs and revenues via the Reinsurance program:
[WSJ] Robert Laszewski—a prominent consultant to health insurance companies—recently wrote in a remarkably candid blog post that, while Obamacare is almost certain to cause insurance costs to skyrocket even higher than it already has, “insurers won’t be losing a lot of sleep over it.” How can this be? Because insurance companies won’t bear the cost of their own losses—at least not more than about a quarter of them. The other three-quarters will be borne by American taxpayers. (more…)
(Via Breitbart) The government watchdog group that revealed that President Barack Obama failed to attend over half of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) released a devastating Benghazi timeline Wednesday.
Oh the irony is so thick it hurts… The only people who showed up for the entire event were the CNN seat anchors: Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan, Wolf Blitzer and Christiane Amanpour… LOL… ambling around talking to eachother.
Last Friday night, CNN boss Jeff Zucker threw a swanky party at Langham hotel’s pool deck in Pasadena to woo the Television Critics Association.
The only problem: nobody showed up. Thanks at least in part to the conflict with the Golden Globes, the pool party was largely empty except for hosts Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan, Wolf Blitzer, and Christiane Amanpour, who were, according to the Hollywood Reporter, “left to mingle with one another.” (more…)
Absolutely desperate to shield former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from accountability MSNBC goes ‘all in’ to blame Ambassador Stevens for his own death in Benghazi Libya.
The Democrat chaired Senate Intelligence Committee released an outline yesterday placing the blame and failure to protect the State Dept. Benghazi consulate squarely on the shoulders of the State Dept itself.
As head of the State Department during 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Hillary Clinton carries the burden of accountability. (more…)
Democrat party operatives, big labor unions, and liberal financial operations are quickly organizing themselves to support the re-election goals of the following candidates….. Is there anything more you need to know about why these Republicans should NOT be re-elected.
WASHINGTON DC – Labor unions are funneling cash to a super-PAC tied to a former lawmaker that is working to elect centrist Republicans to Congress.
Unions have contributed about $765,000 so far to the Defending Main Street Super-PAC, which is associated with former GOP lawmaker Steve LaTourette (R-Ohio), according to Federal Election Commission records.
The total, while small in the new big money era of campaign politics, is an unusually strong show of support from labor for a Republican venture. (more…)
Yesterday we spotlighted a story about a Florida family driving through Maryland and mysteriously being targeted for a police stop. They were questioned about owning a gun, detained, searched, their car contents emptied – searched, and after approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours of detention during the search they were released.
Obviously for the driver, John Filippidis, and his family, this was alarming. What would prompt the Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MTAP) to randomly select their vehicle?
Because the first question to Mr. Filippidis was about his gun ownership, and the police search for the gun was based on his gun ownership, the Florida CCW permit that Filippidis holds was identified as the most likely impetus for the stop, questioning and search. [His firearm was locked in a safe in his Florida home]
This strikes us as highly alarming – so we contacted MTAP and we immediately filed public records requests to research what took place.
However, our interest has also spurred numerous contacts, tips and directions to help understand what’s going on. We now know where else to look to find out what exactly is going on. Mr. Filippidis’ experience is merely the tip of the iceberg.
What is written below explains how the family was targeted; why the family was targeted; and what intentions were behind the MTAP engagement. (more…)
His unit, and the military members who knew the motives of PFC Berghdahl were sworn to secrecy about his defection to radical Islam. They were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements which would preclude the military from discussing the facts of his desertion.
It was against that unknown backdrop that most support for Bowe Bergdahl existed.
CNN reporting: The U.S. military has obtained new video apparently made by those holding the lone American prisoner of war, Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
A U.S. military official told CNN the clip shows the Wood Valley, Idaho, native in diminished health from the effects of close to five years in captivity.
He was seized in Afghanistan in June 2009 and is believed held by the Taliban-aligned Haqqani network in Pakistan, the official said.
The so-called proof-of-life video, the first of him in nearly three years, has a reference to December 14, 2013. (more…)
