America, our long national nightmare is over!  They didn’t listen to your calls, letters, or e-mails, but apparently they did have regard for the bottom line…cold hard cash.  I guess listening to an American-hating beeyotch wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea on a Sunday morning.  I always thought the job should have gone to Jake Tapper in the first place.  Where will she go…..why MSNBC of course! /s
(NYPost)…Christiane Amanpour may soon be giving up the anchor chair on ABC News’ “This Week.” Sources say network honchos are mulling who might replace the award-winning journalist, who has struggled in the ratings since she jumped from CNN to take the reins of the public affairs show in August 2010. “There are discussions of Amanpour’s role changing to that of a global affairs anchor,” a source said. Possible names to fill her seat include ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Terry Moran, Matthew Dowd and Jake Tapper.   (more…)

I stepped out of my car on a sunny 90 degree Phoenix afternoon, but it soon felt closer to 100 degrees by the time I reached the all cement environs of Cesar Chavez Plaza.   A quick scan showed about seven or eight makeshift tents, but I was soon told that these were not really tents.  They were “canopies”, since neither tents, blankets, pillows, or sleeping bags were allowed by the Phoenix Police.  I was most surprised to see only about 40-50 people milling around the site, hardly the numbers nearing the thousand reported on October 15th, the first night of the Occupation.   I’ve since found out the group has several teams of roughly 40-50 people who show up in  planned rotations.  (more…)

Through the use of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, it seems the anarchists are determined to bring the Arab Spring to the shores of the United States.  Sites like #Occupy Wall Street, and US Day of Rage have been encouraging the disaffected to seize back control of the banks.   “The Occupation Has Begun!”, states one site…  “Beginning on September 17, we want to see 20,000 people flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices.” 
Others like Real Democracy Now!,  herald a world-wide occupation of banks and ‘banksters’, and implore people to take to the streets to send their government a message.  Isn’t it great to know that our government spent millions of dollars to pass out free cellphones to these folks?   (more…)

(Moonbattery)…Last year the New York Slimes did a puff piece on left-wing propagandist Christiane Amanpour (formerly of CNN, now ABC), which included photos of her home. Recognize the oversized picture that dominates her favorite room? She says it’s her favorite item in the apartment, because “It gives me joy every time I walk in my door.”

Yesterday I posted a video by Bill Whittle.  In the video he shows how radical left wing elements in Hollywood together with left wing academic elites dismiss what they determine to be American Exceptionalism.  They do this by applying their own ideological prism of moral relativity to historical references and story lines.  Coincidently this morning I awoke to find one of my favorite speeches of all time being strained through this left wing prismatic filter.
(Sporting News) The greatest speech in sports history was delivered on the Fourth of July. It  would have been greater if Hillary Clinton delivered it. (more…)

Hat Tip Bill Whittle (Via Big Hollywood) Watch ‘Gasland’ Director Josh Fox Admit He Left Key Facts Out of Enviro-Documentary –  This is quite possibly one of the greatest pieces bonafide journalism I’ve ever seen, especially how filmmaker/journalist Phelim McAleer manages to get ”Gasland” director Josh Fox’s to admit he left a key piece of relevant information out of his film.

Fox’s Academy Award-nominated documentary blames the energy industry’s practice of hydraulic fracturing  (fracking)  for natural gas on increased levels of methane that are so high people can actually light their tap water on fire.

Scary stuff, right?  (more…)
