Edward Klein a former liberal New York Times editor writes a devastating biography of President Barack Obama, “The Amateur”.   The book debuts at #1 in the New York Times bestseller list and begins week two solidly in first place.
However, The New York Times itself tries to destroy the author and  the book, calling it an “invective-laden” anti-Obama book, and tells readers to ignore the book since it offers no real sources.
The main stream media ignores the book completely, yet the book not only earns the #1 spot on the New York Times best-seller list, it stays there. (more…)

Facing recent polling that indicates Governor Scott Walker is in relatively good shape in the Wisconsin Recall Campaign, the progs are reframing the narrative.

The blame game has been going on for about a week with Wisconsin recall folks complaining about a lack of support from the Democrat National Committee, President Obama, and national democrats.   In addition, state officials from labor unions like the AFL-CIO and AFSCME are complaining about weak national support for their efforts.
This week the media began to frame the narrative to position and protect Democrats in the 2012 campaign. Initially the Wisconsin Recall Effort was heralded by the media as an example and predictor for Progressive gains in retaliation against fiscal conservative efforts by Republican Governors and Legislatures. In addition, they sold the Wisconsin race as a bellweather for President Obama’s victory in November. (more…)

WISCONSIN – Just four days out from the Wisconsin’s historic gubernatorial recall election, former president Bill Clinton and Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett could only draw a small crowd to a rally Friday on Barrett’s home turf.
As the Associated Press notes, the crowd numbered only in the “hundreds,” a sign of the enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans that has appeared in some polls. Overcast weather and the short notice of the event (it was announced just yesterday) may have depressed turnout. But a sitting mayor of a Democratic city and a popular former Democratic president still should have been able to draw more than hundreds of people on Friday if Barrett supporters were fired up and ready to go. Congressman Paul Ryan has been known to draw hundreds of people to some of his townhall meetings in the Milwaukee exurbs. (more…)

China going on record in opposition to US Gun Ownership and 2nd Amendment rights?   Hmmm, makes ya’ wonder what possible benefit the chinese could have from seeing gun rights in the United States diminished?

(Examiner)  A report issued by the State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China has included U.S. gun ownership among a list of  human rights violations, Law Enforcement Examiner Jim Kouri reported yesterday. “The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011” was published last Friday on the PRC’s Consulate General in New York website.

[Hattip Sharon] There’s not much more I can say about Prez SCOAMF’s actions, here. Well, actually, there’s a lot I can say, but it would inevitably end with me frothing at the mouth and chewing the furniture, and fixing that sort of damage is out of my budget right now. . .
From Riehl World View: . . .

The claim is that a decision by the Obama administration put a political speech meant to bolster his chances at re-election, above the desires, traditions and practices of many Vietnam-era military members and their families, who have been coming together at The Wall on Memorial Day for decades, now. No notice was given regarding the closing due to Obama’s decision to use The Wall as backdrop in his Memorial Day speech.
Sources insist it remained closed for hours, until most simply grew frustrated and went away. For decades, individuals have been coming together there on Memorial Day to perform simple acts and observances in keeping with America’s established Memorial Day tradition.

Prepare yourself.  The fight against the Left-Wing Orcs is gonna get ugly.  Real Ugly.  The first battle is Wisconsin. 

(WSJ) — Public-employee unions in Wisconsin have experienced a dramatic drop in membership — by more than half for the second-biggest union — since a law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker sharply curtailed their ability to bargain over wages and working conditions.
Now with Mr. Walker facing a recall vote Tuesday, voters will decide whether his policies in the centrist state should continue — or whether they have gone too far.  The election could mark a pivot point for organized labor.  (more)

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, May 31, 2012 — Five months ahead of the presidential election, the Democratic Party is already losing seats to Republicans, as a growing number of elected officials are changing parties over issues like the right to life, the definition of marriage, and the Obama administration’s mandate that religious institutions cover abortion-inducing drugs in their health care plans.
Wednesday afternoon, seven local office-holders from three Mississippi counties announced they had voted with their feet.
Each official had different reasons, but Leake County Sheriff Greg Waggoner “specifically said when [Obama] came out in favor of gay ‘marriage,’ that was the last straw,” Brett Kittredge, communications director of the Mississippi Republican Party, told LifeSiteNews.com.
“I’m a Christian, and my first allegiance is to Jesus Christ,” Sheriff Waggoner said. “God established marriage, and He established it between a man and a woman. Those are my beliefs. The Republican Party reflects my beliefs.” (more…)

Has anyone seen or heard anything from Samantha Power?    This new direction being considered is so far beyond hypocritical, the light from where hypocritical starts would never even catch them.
Just think, it was not long ago when Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Senator Obama, John Kerry, Chuck Schumer, et al were foaming at the mouth and seething toward George Bush for contemplating unilateral military action with out UN support.   Those aforementioned progs were demanding UN authorization before Bush could take military action.   Yet, in typical leftist prog fashion, they are now discussing the exact same thing.
And that does not even begin to consider the stupidity surrounding the very “rebels” they are trying to help being specifically known as al-Qaeda operatives implanted into the Syrian resistance.

SYRIA – Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, bluntly criticised Russia’s continued backing for President Bashar al-Assad’s regime yesterday. This support was illustrated last night by the disclosure that a Russian cargo ship carrying weapons had docked in Syria last Saturday, one day after the massacre in Houla which claimed at least 108 civilian lives.

(BuzzFeed) — Supporters of Mitt Romney and Barack Obama clashed on the steps of the Massachusetts State House in Boston Thursday, in advance of a press conference by Obama senior adviser David Axelrod.
Romney aides, interns, and volunteers flooded out of the campaign’s headquarters here with signs — and bubbles — to protest Axelrod and Obama, while Obama supporters chanted “Hey hey, ho ho, Mitt Romney has got to go.”
Romney supporters responded by chanting “Solllyyynndraaa” like Bruins fans heckling the visiting team.

After he finished his remarks, Axelrod opened the floor to questions, but he couldn’t hear reporters over the protests. (more…)

MSNBC to begin spouting “plutocrat” talking point in  3… 2…. 1….. no, wait….., I’m too late.    See Rachael Maddow run     Wow, they are getting fast….
(RAW STORY)  Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said Wednesday that billionaires were trying to buy the United States government in the November elections.
“There was a report this morning that the Republican Super PACs, apart from Romney and apart from his own super PAC, intend to spend a billion dollars in this campaign setting up shadow state organizations—district-wide organizations—as well as running media,” he told Current TV host Jennifer Granholm.

“So a handful of plutocrats of billionaires with a special interest agenda are going to try and buy this government in this election, and the stakes of that are pretty profound.”  (read more)
