Alan Dershowitz: “Obama Had Israel’s Back So He Could Stab Them In It”
John Bolton: Obama Didn’t Stab Netanyahu in the Back; He Did in the Front
Front, back, no matter – I can only think of the most defining of Obama’s words why he decided to not protect Israel at the UN vote last week:
The question is whether they realize that we already knew they agreed with Hillary? Finally, an admission from Jake Tapper about the whole flock of ’em (emphasis mine):
BASH: Number one —you and I talked about this in the break —for sure, Hillary Clinton’s deplorables comment.
TAPPER: Basket of deplorables, yeah.
BASH: Baskets of deplorables where she said — She wasn’t caught on tape, she was saying it with a camera there at a fund-raiser, she was talking about Donald Trump supporters. Accusing them of, at least half of them of being deplorable.
TAPPER: And irredeemable.
BASH: And she sort of apologized but she didn’t really apologize properly. And correct I’m wrong. I think it was — your interview with Robby Mook, the campaign manager, where he said that was sort of the under-reported thing that really changed their polling internally and made them realize, ‘You know what? It wasn’t necessarily just Comey. It was that issue.’ It made the traditional Democratic base, the people who ended up going to Donald Trump think she really doesn’t get us.
Could the reason the Left are so fearful of the resurgence of the Deplorables is because they expect us to treat them the way they had planned to treat us? I believe that is the case, something psychiatrists call projection. Too bad they don’t understand (or don’t care) that most of us just want to … Read more
So let’s see what the Reality-in-Chief has to say about his reality: SHOT: “I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilized a majority of the American people to rally behind it,” Mr. Obama said, CNN reported Monday. “I know that … Read more
Like a good Progressive, the Obama Santa utters THE Progressive “tell” of “You don’t need that” and “I know what you need better than you do”. Thus, the condescending “you need this sweater”: Ramirez gets it absolutely pitch perfect – everyone must be the same. (H/T: Powerline)
Well, EVERYone, so it seems, are already doing their “Year in Review” programs (TMEW absolutely hates all of them). Rameriz, as always, gets it right with Obama (a “two term” review). Like Hillary in her 2008 campaign, Obama believes he has “blessed” us with his magnificent presents: (H/T: Powerline)
Retired Marine General James “Mad Dog” Mattis (and nominee as Trump’s DoD Secretary) is beloved by his former Marines – this is one anecdote why:
A couple of months ago, when I told General Krulak, the former Commandant of the Marine Corps, now the chair of the Naval Academy Board of Visitors, that we were having General Mattis speak this evening, he said, “Let me tell you a Jim Mattis story.” General Krulak said, when he was Commandant of the Marine Corps, every year, starting about a week before Christmas, he and his wife would bake hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Christmas cookies. They would package them in small bundles.
“The Caucasians among the tender young minds exposed to Professor George Ciccariello-Maher at Drexel University are on notice that their teacher wants them exterminated because of their race. Not exactly a welcoming atmosphere. I wonder if any of them might be “triggered” by this tweet the good professor offered in the spirit of the holiday?” … Read more
The Progressive SHOT: CHASER: Donald Trump Sorry, but on this day, “diversity” means nothing – that is “your god” of the Progressive religion today (tomorrow, there may be another. “Inclusive” maybe).
“It is the song sung in almost every church on Christmas Eve, usually by candlelight. Usually the last song. Accompanied by a guitar, or sung a cappella. It is probably the world’s favorite Christmas carol. Translated into almost 300 languages. . . it is of course: “Silent Night.” Here is the Vienna Boys’ Choir singing … Read more

Permits.
Yeah, permits. You see, in order to make a living, one doesn’t have the freedom to just do what one wants for a living. Nope, one has to get permission from the Nanny State in the form of “permits” to pretty much do anything nowadays. Land of the Free? Not so much, but I digress.
Seems that Michael Turner of Turner LP Gas made it known (if you read Steve’s post, you’d know) he was only going to sell to non-Trump supporters. Problem is, he wasn’t supposed to be selling any propane to anyone.
Permits (emphasis mine):
Yep, that’s our favorite Christmas movie. (H/T: LIKECOOL)
Glad to know about the little mysteries of life:
Why Do My Eyes Close When I Sneeze?
Is it a foregone conclusion that we can’t help closing our eyes during a sneeze? Not quite, researchers say. It is possible (albeit difficult) to keep our eyes open during a sneeze, said Dr. David Huston, an associate dean at the Texas A&M College of Medicine Houston campus and an allergist at Houston Methodist Hospital. “The fact that it is possible to sneeze with the eyes open suggests that it is not hardwired or mandatory,” Huston said in a statement. It’s not entirely clear why people blink while sneezing, but it likely plays a protective role, he said.
“Season’s Greetings from The Corning Museum of Glass! Watch as Museum Gaffer Eric Goldschmidt creates a blown, mirrored and glittered ornament using an authentic Lauscha ornament mold. For many years, it was holiday tradition to decorate one’s home with fruits and nuts. But when a glassblower in the small German mountain town of Lauscha could … Read more
Heh! Well done! Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or … Read more
“…only 9.9 people a day seeing the movie in any given theater”
That the American people, especially those of us in flyover country (or of that outlook if not geographical location), have HAD it with their inferiors preaching to them from heights that they have not attained on all matter of subjects and issues? We’ve just finished eight years of Best-Gun-Salesman-in-Chief making all kinds of disparaging remarks about we bitter clingers and trying all he could with his “pen and phone” to thwart that Second Amendment Right of ours? Didn’t they see that the Obama’s-Third-Term-Its-My-Turn candidate Hillary, who ALSO wanted to push that meme into double-overdrive?
Apparently not – that “Miss Sloan” movie TV advertising that has been hectoring gun owners for a couple of months has met its match – a loser with the American people. But really, THIS bad?
YOU CAN’T ASTROTURF THE BOX OFFICE: Hollywood’s Gun-Control Dud. “Miss Sloane, a highly anticipated movie demonizing the NRA and calling for gun control, has bombed. The movie succeeded only in emphasizing the top-down nature of the gun-control campaign and
Famously the Clinton White House staffers removed the “W” keys from their keyboards just before George W Bush took over the Oval Office. This was the F. U. moment of a group of youngsters that were in an ideological pique of years that belied their status. Not only was it a sophomoric stunt but it cost a lot of OUR money to replace them all (but again, Progressives have no notion that it is other peoples’ money they spend).
This proves that Obama NEVER had Israel’s back – he just waited until the end to put the knife in.
Once again, we see that old phrase “no good deed goes unpunished” at play (“good” is variable here – foolish, stupid, insane, and blind might be better utilized). Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Police Hand Out 6000 Rape Alarms for New Year’s After Migrant Attacks
Austrian police will hand out 6,000 pocket rape alarms on New Year’s Eve to help fight mass sex attacks such as those perpetrated by migrants in neighbouring Germany a year ago. The interior ministry said Tuesday that officers will be distributing the devices in the run up to the festive celebrations in the capital Vienna, Welt reports. “It’s a national campaign aimed primarily at women on New Year’s Eve,” ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck told AFP.
And why might this be, you ask? Well, pretty much the invasion-by-other-means by “refugees” of the Religion of Peace.
“Notice, You won’t find any left wing causes at the top of America’s circle of trust.” Actually, this must be soul-crushing to Progressives whose main goal is to always move Power away from the People to a more and more centralized place further and further away from accountability. Notice that confidence INCREASES as the locus … Read more
