Hillary “Has No Clothes”

Listening to “democratic strategists” forced to explain why Hillary Clinton is avoiding the media in her campaign for the presidency, they say, she’s talking to small groups to get the feel of what Americans think. You know, those groups who were hand-picked by her campaign. Except they didn’t say that part. Trying to explain away why she has been asked, and answered only 8 questions since announcing her candidacy April 12, 2015. Over a month ago.

They, of course, have it all wrong. The real reason is two-fold. One, to avoid having to answer questions about her past, about her honesty, and two, to avoid the optics of a lot of empty seats at a venue.

Free advice for the DNC. Keep her hidden and insulated from the media. No amount of demagoguery of the GOP will overcome what people see in your candidate, Secretary Hillary Clinton.

37% Of Americans Not Working

To say that the Obama administration represents Jimmy Carter’s “second term,” is not a stretch. That’s because the labor participation rate hasn’t been this low since the malaise of the Carter era.

The “labor participation rate” is the percentage of people who can work that are working. The labor participation rate for April 2015 is 62.8 percent. More than one-third of the American work force, ninety-three million, are looking for work.

This is what the Obama administration is touting as a recovery. And President Obama readily admits, “there’s more work to do.” Translation; “what I’m doing isn’t working the way you think it should, but you’ll get used to it after a while. Remaking America takes time.”

Here’s how the BLS describes it . . .

 [T]he dynamic demographic, economic, and social forces that once spurred the level, growth, and composition of the labor force have changed and are now damping labor force growth.

To illustrate what 93,000,000 Americans out of work represents, look at it this way. It could represent the populations of Ireland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Hungary, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, and Lithuania combined. Or ALL of Germany, or Turkey, or the United Kingdom, or France, or Italy, and a few million more.

And look at the president’s solution. Grow government and shrink the private sector, raise taxes, raise national debt, and make more people dependent on the dwindling number of taxpayers lucky enough to still have a job. He has a perverse view of economics. He thinks expanding government and spreading the wealth around amounts to economic recovery.

And it’s not because he doesn’t know what it takes to stimulate economic activity to actually grow the economy. It’s because he knows that growing the economic pie would mean shrinking government and its control over the people. And that goes against his goal of remaking America as he sees it. As though we have a new founding father in The White House.

Texas Attacked, White House Frozen

The terrorists react within minutes.

Still waiting for a coherent response from the one person responsible for protecting us.

Winners And Losers, Texas Attack

It’s time to re-assess the false narrative about a war on Islam. It’s a war by Islam. And it is aimed at anyone, any country, that does not bow to Sharia law. And the sooner the Commander-in-Denial starts behaving like a Commander-in-Chief, the better.

Here’s the Winners and losers breakdown. Losers #texasattack & Sharia, Winners #freespeech & America.

From the “Mohammed Art Exhibit and Contest,” the event was sponsored by Pamela Geller of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and featured keynote speaker Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician and free speech advocate.

The venue for the event was no accident.

The AFDI event was proceeded by another gathering in the same venue — the Curtis Culwell Center — in January. That event? It was a Muslim Brotherhood event titled the “Stand with the Prophet” rally. It was held there, one week after radical Islamists killed 17 employees at the French newspaper Charlie Hebdo for its satirical cartoons about the prophet Mohammed.

This is the contest-winning cartoon.

This is all it takes to make the Islamic goons act out in violence. Right out of the sixth century.

Only question remaining is where will President Obama stand? With the winners, or the losers? Unfortunately, it’s a rhetorical question.

(A video link of the event is below. The program was interrupted by police at one hour twenty-nine minutes.)

Obama Dumps On Blacks, Minorities, Americans

Minorities, and all American citizens, believe this:

Your job, and family, is not as important to President Obama as illegals being able to vote. And it’s not just an affront to Black Americans, it’s an affront to ALL Americans.

Obama pledges allegiance to his ideology in a way that all dictators do. His allegiance is not to this country or you, a citizen.

Ask yourself this;

  • with a labor participation rate at 62.7%, a level not seen since the malaise of the Carter administration, and
  • 2.6 million people among the long-term unemployed, which is 29.8 percent of all unemployed, and
  • 277,000 more people dropped out of the workforce, gave up looking for work, in March 2015, compared to February 2015,
  • with unemployment rates highest among Blacks, 10.1% for 20 yr old and up, 25% for 16-19 yr-olds. (Whites 4.7 and 15.7% respectively), and
  • average family incomes falling greatest among Blacks

Who do you think benefits most by granting millions of illegal aliens work permits, adding 6 to 12 million more people in the country to compete for the same jobs you are? You, or the Democrat Party you’ve enabled to do this, to you?

Think those numbers are bad? Check this out, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ FAQ, which is in the link below.

2. Are undocumented immigrants counted in the surveys?
It is likely that both surveys include at least some undocumented immigrants. However, neither the establishment nor the household survey is designed to identify the legal status of workers. Therefore,
it is not possible to determine how many are counted in either survey.

But wait, it gets worse. All the bad numbers and statistics above, by the government’s own admission, include illegal aliens. If you are one of the unemployed, the exact number of them doesn’t matter very much does it?

Not only does this administration condone illegals coming here and working, taking jobs from American citizens, it now is in court fighting both Kansas and Arizona to keep them from identifying non-citizens on voter registration forms. The Obama administration is just fine with Mexican and other illegals nullifying your vote and the votes of all American citizens.

If you weren’t aware that Obama’s ideology is his primary motivation behind his need to “fundamentally change America,” it should be crystal clear now. He has set the stage, laid the foundation. He’ll be gone by 2016, but his agenda, the Democrat Party’s agenda, will lead us down the same path, if America would be reckless enough to put a Democrat in The White House for a third consecutive term.

Learning From Mistakes

Speaking of learning from mistakes, Thomas Sowell takes that theme and covers a range of teachable moments. From anti-trust laws to lawlessness, economics, immigration, and more.

endofstory

We all make mistakes and some of us learn from them. What is even better is to learn from other people’s mistakes, where they pay for those mistakes while we learn free of charge.

Many Americans who say that we should learn from other people, especially Europeans, mean that we should imitate what they did. That may make those who talk this way feel superior to other Americans. But let us never forget that the most disastrous ideologies of the 20th century — Communism, Fascism and Nazism — all originated in Europe. So did both World Wars.

More recently, Europe has been belatedly discovering how unbelievably stupid it was to import millions of people from cultures that despise Western values, and which often promote hatred toward Western people.

Maybe that is a mistake that we can think about when Congress finally decides to do something about our open borders and our immigration laws that we refuse to enforce.    . . . . more

Free Loot-and-Burn Night Expires

Baltimore recovering after the Free Loot-and-Burn night expires. The “curfew” goes into effect tonight.

It was amazing to watch the live TV coverage last night. Amazing to watch the police lines withdrawal from the literal “hot spot” of activity, instead of taking action to stop the looting.

The business owners knew the scenario. They said if the police move away, the looters will move in. And, that’s exactly what happened.

And the sorry thing is, we’ve seen this before in Ferguson. No police intervention. Let them burn themselves out. Treating them like and out-of-control two-year old having a temper tantrum. Letting them cry themselves out. Only these tantrums are attacking police, fire fighters, and robbing others of their homes and livelihood. And instead of condemnation. the politicians and race grievance industry makes excuses for them.

They have no courage to discuss the real problem. The failure of decades of “Democrat policies and leadership.”

Too Much Power?

A new Rasmussen poll shows that 62% feel the government has too much power, and,  that too many of their fellow countrymen are dependent on the government for financial support.

In another decade, this would be seen as bad news by the administration in charge. A mood, and a trend that needed correction. But not today. This is a testament to the success of the current administration in the remaking, the fundamental change, of America. That the American people don’t see it as a success does not matter to President Obama.

Clinton Cash, It’s All In The Family

Sacrificing strategic natural resources in exchange for cash and campaign contributions is not new to the Clintons. Bill helped China, with scarce low-sulfur coal, when he was president. Hillary did it with uranium, helping Russia.

After Bill Clinton’s second run for President, it was learned of a Chinese connection in illegal campaign contributions. Back then, Bill Clinton created a 1.8 million acre monument in southern Utah. On its face, an innocuous move, making environmentalists (also contributors) happy. Everybody feels good about a new park. What wasn’t mentioned was the coal reserves located in that 1.8 million acres.

The effect of creating that ‘monument’ was to take our country’s largest deposit of low-sulphur coal off of the market and out of bounds from mining. Now a quick mineralogical lesson. There are only two known low-sulphur coal reserves in the world, one of which is under this land in Utah that was blocked off by Clinton and the other of which is in China. We then see the Rhiady family, acting as intermediaries between Clinton and the Chinese government, which was making illegal donations to the Clinton campaign.
