Reports: Baghdad Airport Under Attack From ISIS Artillery and Mortar Fire – Airport Closed – Marine Detachment Arrives At U.S. Embassy Baghdad

Unconfirmed reports are surfacing that Baghdad International Airport is under attack from ISIS elements close to the city.

If ISIS is indeed striking the Baghdad Airport, it would be yet another jaw dropping revelation.

It would be prudent to be skeptical and cautious without actual western media present to confirm such reports.

Clintonian Disconnect From Reality – Hillary “The Forever Victim” Clinton Declares: U.S. Political System “Most Brutal In The World”

Obviously Dame Clinton has never peeked into U.K. Political elections, nor thought about how culturally in some nations the loser has to actually worry about being killed -or imprisoned for life- n’ stuff. No, for Hillary Clinton the U.S. political process is the most “brutal” in the world.

Is there a more apropos example of how progressives continually think the world revolves around themselves?

Good grief woman, get over your perpetual victimhood already:

Keep In Mind – The Establishment Political Class of The GOP Has No Vested Interest In Pursuing The Missing IRS E-Mails or The Scandal….

Treepers, it’s important to remember the reality faced within the IRS scandal.  It is a painful reality, but one that must be faced.

The Democrats have no concerns with the IRS being used as a tool to crush the grassroots Tea Party, that’s a no brainer. However, it’s also important to remember, as we have continued to outline, there is no basis to think the GOP has any more of an issue with it than the Democrats.

The entire political establishment, who thrive on the status quo, are at risk from grassroots efforts to disrupt their place -and control- at the trough. Pat Caddell outlined this accurately before (watch this video):

The establishment class have goals coordinated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Tom Donahue. ObamaCare, Amnesty and Common Core are all part of their goals.

Forget The Headlines – AP Reports: “Dear Leader is Bored”….

President Obama is bored…

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — It’s perhaps appropriate that President Barack Obama is vacationing this weekend in California, where the state flag features a roaming grizzly.

The restless president, who has compared himself to a caged animal on recent wanderings by declaring the “bear is loose,” took a long Father’s Day weekend away with his wife and older daughter.  The visit to the desert resort area of Palm Springs is one of the ways Obama has been trying to escape during his sixth year cloistered in the White House.

“I think frankly we’ve all been through a cold and bitter winter and the bear has cabin fever,” said Obama friend and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. “His cabin is a little bit bigger and harder to escape than most.” (more…)

Presidential Ideologues – The Law Is What They Say It Is ! …..

Interesting to see a liberally leaning outlet allow this op-ed… 

(New York Observer) As Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex Kozinski has written, prosecutorial misconduct has become “an epidemic.” And evidence has come to light that our president, the nation’s chief law enforcement official, seeks his counsel from the worst.

If ever a picture was worth a thousand words, it is a recently released White House photo of President Obama and his muses—if one only knew the truth behind those muses whispering in the President’s ear as they strategized in the aftermath of the Benghazi tragedy.

To understand the (politely-put) “lack of transparency” from the White House, the enormous politicization of the Department of Justice, the release of Taliban leaders from Guantanamo, refusal to cooperate with congressional investigations, the IRS’s harassment of political opponents, and the cover-up of Benghazi, read on.

President Obama’s right-hand woman Kathryn Ruemmler, conveniently seated to his right, was his longest serving White House Counsel and remains one of his closest and most trusted advisors. (more…)

CNN Tries To Frame Cantor Loss As “Anti-Semitism”…

Damn the facts, full speed ahead with the insufferable propaganda !!

Was It Prophecy?

This is an interview that Reagan did with 60 Minutes just before he took office as President Of The United States.

And what is Fascism? Fascism is private ownership, private enterprise, but total government control and regulation. Well, isn’t this the liberal philosophy?

The conservative, so-called, is the one that says ‘less government, get off my back, get out of my pocket, and let me have more control of my own destiny.’

If that’s true, and what we seeing today is the future that Reagan foresaw, what are we doing about it?
