Five years ago Al Gore predicted the polar Ice-Caps would be gone by now. Today it’s snowing in Cairo, Egypt.

You have probably seen multiple written accounts, stories and publish articles, recently about a growing international backlash. This stems from revelations that under the specific direction of President Obama the NSA (National Security Agency) has been spying upon a growing contingent of international leaders.
Our allies are furious with the NSA for spying on them and their respective leaders. Consequently U.S. credibility and trust has been deconstructed.
Indeed, by recent count the list of Allied Western nations rising in open opposition to President Obama, and his administration, stands around 35. That’s THIRTY FIVE.
It is against that bold and visible backdrop we wish to draw back your attention.
In July of 2012, during his Term-two presidential bid, President Obama gave a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Reno, Nevada. His speech was specifically constructed to outline his accomplishments:
“Because we’re leading around the world, people have a new attitude toward America.” “There’s more confidence in our leadership. We see it everywhere we go.”
– Barack Obama July 2012
At the time many of us just about fell out of our seats. With quick dispatch, and working purely from immediate memory, we outlined the following:
[2012] There are many administration claims that I shake my head when I hear, but this one is perhaps the worst. It is a complete and utter fallacy to proclaim President Obama’s foreign policy has been even remotely successful. This is just freestyle off the top of my head, but consider: (more…)

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed – and hence clamorous to be led to safety – by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”…..H.L. Mencken
What if you turned on the television and suddenly there were no more countdown clocks….no more talking heads discussing doomsday scenarios predicting a crippling government default? How many of us can even remember looking forward to being entertained and informed when we sat down after a hard day’s work?
I came to a sudden realization this past weekend as I watched countless numbers of veterans take back their monuments in D.C. Veterans who stormed beaches, fought in jungles, and endured desert heat thought nothing of a few hastily erected “Barry-cades”. Many of these veterans, most now in their nineties, weren’t going to be stopped by Obama any more than they were by countless other autocrats. I’m going to take a lesson from them….and stop being told what I have to fear.

Side Question: How come the media has stopped using the word WMD now that President Obama is in office? Oh well,…..
Some things are more reflective than others. A famous person once said: those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, or something similar. Well, this is one Obama Administration repetition worth highlighting.
On Wednesday of last week the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the recent chemical attacks being witnessed in Syria. Those chemical and/or biological attacks have been a great source of international attention and concern.
However, our U.N. Ambassador, Samantha Power, was conspicuously absent from the Security Council meeting. The Administration was questioned, and the White House mysteriously avoided answering where she was. Why was the United States not present during the meeting? Where was Samantha Power?
Today it is reported she missed the meeting in order to attend a Charlie Chaplin Film Festival. No joke, this is the real reason. It sure explains why the White House was dodging the question and refused to answer.
But here comes the historical context. (more…)
Was John Kerry speaking about the fundamental responsibility to protect life; the life of the unborn child?
Of course not….
(Via CNS) Reiterating a theme he presented two weeks ago at an Iftar dinner celebrating the end of Ramadan, Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday described “global climate change” as “a challenge to our responsibilities as the guardians–safe guarders of God’s creation.” (more…)
