CBS's Bob Schieffer Was Shocked, SHOCKED, "Dumbstruck'" Even – Upon Hearing Jonathan Gruber's ObamaCare Remarks…

media lying
Worse than watching the old CBS water-carrier pontificate about being snookered (against the backdrop of him selling this insufferable BS for four years) is the old ideological coot, Bob Schieffer, being too entrenched in his own elite liberalism to recognize that Gruber wasn’t disparaging the deception needed to pass ObamaCare – HE WAS BRAGGING ABOUT IT.
Idiot.
Bob Schieffer takes to the airwaves to proclaim he is just “dumbstruck” that Jonathan Gruber would be making such statements about how they constructed the law to deceive the American electorate.

Executive Amnesty – Dictatorial Fiat? Prosecutorial Discretion? Shredding The Constitution? Or Becoming a Parody Unto Himself….

An enthusiastic crowd filled the auditorium earlier today.  Thousands of cheering fans sat eagerly on  their seat, anticipating,…. and then the moment came.  President Ted Cruz stepped onto the stage to resounding applause and announced:

“Capital Gains Taxes are impacting the capacity of our economy to expand; therefore effective tomorrow I’m instructing the IRS to cease and desist any collection or enforcement efforts in that regard.

Effective immediately businesses and individuals can, if they choose, discontinue filing capital gains incomes on their quarterly income tax returns. My administration will make no efforts to punish for non-payment.

However, congress can avoid such an executive order if they will simply send me a repeal bill for any and all corporate and individual capital gains revenue”.

Does it Sound ridiculous? Does it sound like something that might send Democrats and the media into 24/7 news cycles as they debate a constitutional crisis?

Petulance Down Under – Obama Exemplifies Stompy Feet Diplomacy In Australia…

Imagine for a moment U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron delivering a speech at a U.S. university, while attending a global summit in the U.S. hosted by President Obama.
Imagine Mr. Cameron taking to the stage of the university and orating how the current administration holds no value toward the founding fathers of the U.S. Constitution.
Further imagine how it would be received if Mr. Cameron’s guest speech was about how nationalized socialistic healthcare, specifically ObamaCare, was corrosive and destructive to the foundational principles of our Republic.  Or if how Obama’s refusal to allow the Keystone pipeline was indicative of his communistic tendencies.

If that were ever to happen the professional left, and the U.S. administration, would be apoplectic with anger at the arrogance of such an undiplomatic and uncouth display.  It’s easy to imagine Chris Matthews shouting about how such an event would be ill-mannered and intentionally embarrassing the President.
However, that level of imaginary arrogance wasn’t imaginary this past weekend.  That is exactly what President Obama did while attending the G20 Summit in Brisbane Australia. (more…)

Whoopsie: Buzzfeed Super-Exposes Their Leftist Bias In Pro-Obamacare Uber Article….

obama shadowThe important aspect to this Buzzfeed story is not Über rising to say how wonderful ObamaCare is for their business model.  The important aspect is revealing, yet again, the insufferable biases within media outlets.
Against an avalanche of newly fueled Gruber ObamaCare sunlight, the far-left moonbats are trying to find ways to point out the glory of ObamaCare despite the fact it was constructed around lies and falsehoods.   In essence, and as typical, ‘the ends justify the means’.
Into this need steps the media enterprise Buzzfeed.  A quasi-journalistic source of social media and current event information which passes itself off as ‘journalism’.   Buzzfeed starts off with this paragraph:

The CEO of Uber said Friday that Obamacare has played a crucial role for his army of drivers, an unusual, partial endorsement of the president’s signature policy from a man often cast as a hero of anti-government libertarianism.

The rest of the article is explaining how.
Wow, a company benefitting from ObamaCare and willing to take a policy and strategic media approach to announce as such…… Or is there something missing.  (more…)

Ferguson Antagonists Furious That Officer Darren Wilson, Without Indictment, Could Be Back To Work….

A person could write lengthy paragraphs digging into the mindset of those who cannot fathom an innocent person being allowed to continue being innocent.   However, in the final analysis you end in a place where you recognize generations of appeased dependency have given rise to a societal construct unwilling, and unable, to conceive of their demands not being appeased. 
Personally, I prefer to allow the groups’ ideological views to speak for themselves.  (Pictured here):
anderson cooper ferguson
(Reuters) – Activists protesting the fatal shooting in August of an unarmed black teen by a white policeman expressed anger on Saturday after the city’s police chief told local media the officer could return to work if a grand jury does not to charge him criminally.
The St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, which saw weeks of sometimes violent protests following the Aug. 9 shooting, is on edge as a grand jury decides whether the officer, Darren Wilson, will face charges for the shooting of Michael Brown.
Wilson would likely be fired if he is indicted, but could immediately return to duty if he is not, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson told St. Louis broadcaster KSDK, adding that he had not spoken with Wilson to know if he wanted to rejoin the department. (more…)

Former CNBC Anchor Shares: When I Tried To Inform Audience of ObamaCare False Math I Was Told To Shut Up…

We know this stuff.  Heck, we ALL know/knew what was/is being done inside the executive suites of ABC, CBS and NBC – writ large.    However, to see it actually explained by a person who was inside the organization and told to stop is still quite revealing.

BREAKING – Media Release Darren Wilson Radio Communication and Video: Darren Wilson's radio calls show fatal encounter was brief

FERGUSON • The Aug. 9 fatal shooting here that sparked three months of protests and calls for change from around the world happened in less than 90 seconds, interviews and an analysis of police and EMS records shows.
The records, obtained by the Post-Dispatch via Missouri’s Sunshine law, provide the best timeline yet for the events surrounding the shooting of Michael Brown Jr., 18. Also released were police station surveillance videos that provide the most recent images of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who has not been seen publicly since the shooting. Wilson left the police station for the hospital two hours after the shooting, accompanied by other officers and his union lawyer.

Liberal Elites – Who Are These People Laughing Along With Jonathan Gruber ?…

James O’Keefe introduced the world to this type of mentality during his exceptional sting of NPR, the Praetorian Guard of media, in 2011 – Story Here.  William Tucker wrote a great article as a follow-up and describes the personality traits accurately:


(American Spectator) James O’Keefe’s NPR sting has to be one of the most beautifully orchestrated deceptions in the annals of journalism. I think the academy award for performance in a documentary should go to that bushy-bearded “Arab” who, on hearing NPR executive Richard Schiller say, “Let me take off my NPR hat” and launching into his Tea Party rant, intones in a marvelously phony North African accent, “I like it when you take off your NPR hat.” That was the laugh line of the year.
