ESPN Gives Humanitarian Award To Mizzou Football Team For BLM Strike
by Shifra on June 22, 2016Humanitarian award for a strike leading to massive campus protests which resulted in a 25% enrollment drop and a budget loss of $32M. Nice going, ESPN. Via Daily Caller. ESPN announced it will give the University of Missouri (MU) football team a special humanitarian award in July for the team’s strike, which led to the the school’s president being fired and a massive drop in enrollment.

The protest received limited, mostly local attention, until early November, when an absolute bomb dropped....

8th-Grader Investigated for Forgery After Using Real $2 Bill
by Tammy on May 2, 2016How is it that all the adults *at her school* were this idiotic? I’m not a big fan of lawsuits but in this case I hope this family sues and gets a million $2 bills 🙂 Via Washington Times.

Che Guevara’s Bungled 9-11
by Tammy on March 21, 2016Obama standing today in front of a mural honoring mass-murderer terrorist Che Guevara. An excellent refresher on Cuba and terrorist, mass-murderer and liberal t-shirt icon hero Che Guevara. This will put in perspective the utter obscenity of Obama’s efforts to legitimize a regime as depraved as the Castros. Via Townhall. On the Friday after Thanksgiving 1962, Cuban agents planned to detonate 500 kilos of TNT inside Macy’s, Gimbel’s, Bloomingdale’s and Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal. Che Guevara was the head of Cuba’s “Foreign Liberation Department” at the time. On September 11th 2001, roughly 50,000 people worked at the World Trade Center. Macy’s alone gets roughly 50,000 shoppers on Black Friday. Castro and Che planned their Manhattan holocaust short weeks after Nikita...

Oregon: Ordering Coffee At Starbucks Is Related To Killings Of Black Men
by Shifra on January 13, 2016I read this article three times, trying to follow the “logic.” But all I got was a big headache. Via Daily Caller: Oregon State University will host a workshop next week that will explain to students how ordering a coffee at Starbucks involves “implicit biases that contribute to injustice” and connects to the “recent killings of black men” by white cops. The Jan. 19 workshop entitled “Making the Unknown Known: Exploring Implicit Bias in Everyday Life” is part of a nine-day Martin Luther King celebration at the school, reports Campus Reform. Here’s Oregon State’s blurb explaining the 90-minute event: “What do the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Fair Housing Act in late June, recent killings of black men by White...

Nuclear Deal Could Allow Tehran To Make Bomb
by Tammy on February 23, 2015Shocking! Said no one, ever. Via Washington Examiner. Secretary of State John Kerry met in Geneva Monday with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif amid reports that a deal was taking shape that might allow Tehran to build nuclear weapons in its final years. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, meanwhile, met separately with Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s nuclear program, on technical details before joining the broader talks. The Associated Press reported that a potential deal is taking shape in the talks, which began Friday, that would phase out restrictions on Iran’s uranium enrichment activities in the final years — potentially allowing it to build a nuclear weapon more quickly than the one-year timeframe U.S. officials were using as...

Liberal Cornell Students Outraged At Obamacare Fee, Stage Sit-In
by Shifra on February 16, 2015To be filed under: We Told You So! Via Bizpac Review: Cornell students erupt over healthcare fee; ‘elections have consequences’ messages pour in Sometimes, the best education is the one life gives you. Students at the prestigious but liberal-leaning Cornell University found that out the hard way last week, when they stormed the office of school President David Skorton to protest a modern-day example of socialism at work. On Feb. 5, Skorton posted a memo on the school’s website notifying students that all who opt out of Cornell’s health care program next year will be charged a $350 fee…. And, of course, the mocking on Twitter: #fightthefee We tried to tell you costs would skyrocket, but people like you thought...

Fox’s Adam Housley Goes After White House Comments That Taliban Is Not A Terrorist Group
by Tammy on January 29, 2015Obama’s regime is living in a fantasy world and desperate to have everyone join them. Via RCP. At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, deputy press secretary Eric Schultz wouldn’t call the Taliban a terrorist group, instead referring to it as “an armed insurgency.” “The Taliban is still conducting terrorist attacks. You can’t really say the war has ended as far as they are concerned,” ABC’s Jonathan Karl said at the briefing. “Well, I’d also point out that the Taliban is an armed insurgency, ISIL is a terrorist group. So, we don’t make concessions to terrorist groups,” Schultz said. “You don’t think the Taliban is a terrorist group?” Karl asked. “I don’t think that the Taliban, um, uh — the Taliban...

USDA Forced To Reverse Itself On School Lunch Restrictions
by Tammy on January 5, 2014You remember, that whole campaign based on Mooch’s mission of telling your kids what they can eat has backfired, just like every other thing the Obamas get their hands on. In this case, the Fed trying to micromanage school menus left schools with hungry, miserable kids without enough protein or energy. That was in 2012. Hello 2013. This is only the beginning of idiotic and controlling Obama schemes which will be reversed, one way or the other. Via WHSV. A rule change by the USDA could put more food on your child’s plate at school. Fewer attendance problems, fewer nurse visits, increased test scores and increased attention are just some of the benefits of being full, according to Susan Ellinger,...

Cubans Shocked At Prices As Foreign Cars Go On Sale
by Tammy on January 5, 2014Because Utopian Socialist Dictatorships work for well ‘for the people.’ Via BBC. Cubans have reacted with shock after foreign-made cars went on sale for the first time since the 1959 revolution at what some termed “crazy” prices. The state has a monopoly on new car sales and has set massive mark-ups. A Peugeot 508 is listed at $262,000. Peugeot’s UK website puts prices from $29,000. State salaries in Cuba average about $20 a month. Freeing up car sales is the latest in a series of reforms. A permit to buy new vehicles is now no longer required. However, only a minority will benefit. The BBC’s Sarah Rainsford, in Havana, says the stream of people at one used-car store in Havana’s...

TSA. Sock Monkey. Toy Gun. What Could Go Wrong?
by Tammy on December 9, 2013Yes, the TSA has seized a sock monkey’s toy gun. Madness, absolute madness. Via NRO. TSA agents in St. Louis, Missouri, disarmed Rooster Monkburn, a cowboy sock money, of his two-inch toy gun after a woman brought the stuffed monkey through security. Agents said that it posed a threat because it could be confused for a real gun, according to local reports. “[The agent] said ‘this is a gun,’” said Phyllis May, recounting the experience to fly back to her home in Washington state. “I said no, it’s not a gun it’s a prop for my monkey.” May, who has a small business selling sock monkeys, was also questioned for bringing the sewing supplies she uses to make the stuffed...

The Biggest Glitch Of All: Progressive Government
by Shifra on November 12, 2013I hope you are all enjoying watching the wheels come off the ObamaCare Bus. I know I am. The failed website, the panic of Democrats up for re-election next year, the non-apology “apology,” the late-night comics mocking him; yes, it couldn’t have happened to a more “deserving” POTUS. And, I hope the narcissistic injury caused by the shame of his failure, the drop in his popularity, and his recent turn as the butt of jokes, is causing him great psychic pain. (No, I do not feel sorry for him. I reserve my empathy for the millions who have lost, or are about to lose, their health insurance.) Although we may be witnessing the beginning of the end of Obamacare, Daniel...

Whatever: Kathleen Sebelius Tells Congress She’s Sorry
by Tammy on October 30, 2013Today HHS secretary Sebelius was sworn in for testimony to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Yes, she apologized, and then pretty much bulshed her way through the next 4 hours. It ended up being a clusterfark, as only the creators of ObamaCare could provide. Here’s some of the more noteworthy events and comments: Sebelius: ‘Whatever’ Rep. Gregg Harper (R., Miss.) tried to get Kathleen Sebelius to admit that President Obama is ultimately responsible for implementation of the Affordable Care Act. “No sir, we are responsible,” Sebelius said, of her agency. “He’s the president of the United States. I have given him regular reports. I am responsible for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.” Harper gave Sebelius credit for...
