Like putting a tick on a butchers dog.  Mike Rogers joining the CNN team gives the cynically minded observer the appearance of a pending wave of distracting domestic terror alerts.  Obviously it also benefits team Hillary.

…Alan Greenspan’s wife, Andrea Mitchell, is critiquing you on MSNBC.
President Obama spent the day Sunday watching football. Joe Biden also spent the day at home watching the playoffs in Delaware.

January 12th 2015 is the five year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake.

(Via Washington Times) […] In 2010, Haiti was rocked by a deadly earthquake that claimed the lives of between 200,000 and 300,000 people. In response to the tragedy, the international community pledged an estimated nine billion dollars in foreign aid to help Haiti’s recovery efforts.
However, according to Joseph, much of the pledged cash never made it to Haiti. And the money that did make it to Haiti has mysteriously disappeared.

If they keep talking al-Sisi up, eventually someone is going to notice that -despite Obama immediately calling Muslim Brotherhood President Morsi on the day of his election- Obama never called al-Sisi to congratulate him on his national election win.

~ The White House Summit on Terrorism Anti-extremism  ~

Have you ever read anything so, well, stuffed full of BS?

(Via Politico) “On February 18, 2015, the White House will host a Summit on Countering Violent Extremism to highlight domestic and international efforts to prevent violent extremists and their supporters from radicalizing, recruiting, or inspiring individuals or groups in the United States and abroad to commit acts of violence, efforts made even more imperative in light of recent, tragic attacks in Ottawa, Sydney, and Paris,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement.

[…] “Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) efforts rely heavily on well-informed and resilient local communities. Boston, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis-St. Paul have taken the lead in building pilot frameworks integrating a range of social service providers, including education administrators, mental health professionals, and religious leaders, with law enforcement agencies to address violent extremism as part of the broader mandate of community safety and crime prevention,” he said.

After initially doing a spit take at the ridiculousness of the question -contrast against the reality of Obama’s massive ego which would never contemplate taking advice, let alone directions- I decided to read the article. Once you get beyond the rhetorical question, that is not actually rhetorical in presentation, the end of the opinion was quite good.
However, it’s important to remember this is the same administration who tried to hide Mount Rushmore so visitors could not see it; and who put barricades around open air Washington DC monuments to punish Americans for not supporting them financially.
“Will Obama learn from Fatah al-Sisi”?….  LOLOL, how cute; apparently the author thinks that Obama’s pro-Muslim Brotherhood policy is an accident.

Washington Times […] At the core of continuing conflict is an irreconcilable difference between those who see net benefit in freedom under secular law and those who require others to surrender free will and submit to a rigid set of religious precepts.
For years, informed analysts have warned of dangers posed to freedom-loving secular nations by rigid and intolerant humans who claim they are only following instructions set from on high. (more…)

The story initially began back in March of 2014 when several black Philadelphia politicians were caught in a corruption probe and sting operation. At the time the newly elected Democrat PA Attorney General stepped in and pressured the Philadelphia prosecutor to drop charges; the reasoning was incredulous.

The corruption investigation itself was called racist because only the black politicians accepted the bribes. All politicians were offered bribes, but only the black politicians took the bribes – ergo the new State AG, Kathleen Kane, said the STING was racist. The local Philadelphia media reported on the story, which essentially shamed the Philly DA into filing charges. Last month two of the lawmakers were charged – the Philly lawmakers admitted their guilt.
However, the story gets even more bizarre. The State AG was busted leaking information from the secret Grand Jury in Philadelphia who originally proposed charges against the corrupt Philly politicians. Kathleen Kane was said to have given information about the Grand Jury investigation to The Philadelphia Daily News. This turned investigative attention toward the State Attorney General, Kathleen Kane, who, if proven, would have just committed a very serious crime – for nothing more than political motive. (more…)
