[T]he grim and bloody irony that Brian Terry was disarmed by the very government that armed his murderers.
Thanks to some moron, sorry Ace, in the Obama administration, be it Eric Holder or Janet Reno, the Border Patrol was forced to confront a Mexican drug, gang armed with AK-47’s, with bean bags. Yes the AK-37’s prevailed over the bean bags, and an American Border Patrol agent was murdered. No wonder Eric Holder is sitting on those Fast & Furious documents.
Where in the World is Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.? Peter V. Bella, Washington Times wants to know:
CHICAGO June 27, 2012— Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) is tired. He is so tired he took a medical leave of absence for what is being described as exhaustion. He is too tired to serve the people.
The job of a United State’s Congressman must be physically and mentally grueling. It must be a life of mind numbing and body punishing drudgery.
[…]
There can be no other reason for him being so exhausted that he needed a leave of absence
An unnamed source has told this blogger that his anonymous contact has told him that Congressman J.J. Jr. has been kidnapped by aliens from Mars, or Arkansas Ransom note at Eleven.
Robert “Bob the Short” Reich comes up two all beef patties short of a Quarter Pounder, from the Puffington Post:
To hear the media report it, President Obama is proposing a tax increase on wealthy Americans. That’s misleading at best. He’s proposing that everyone receive a continuation of the Bush tax cuts on the first $250,000 of their incomes. Any dollars they earn in excess of $250,000 will be taxed at the old Clinton-era rates.
Get it? Everyone is treated exactly the same. Everyone gets a one-year extension of the Bush tax cut on the first $250,000 of income. No “class warfare.”
So if Dim Won, a/k/a Dumbo, a/k/a President Fifty Seven State, b/k/a Barack Obama gets his way, if you make more than two hundred fifty thousand dollars per year, you will pay more in taxes. Bobby, in the real world, that is what real folks call a tax increase.
Note to Bob the Short, I forward Rush’s suggestion, I’ll give you the Clinton era tax rates, if you deliver the Clinton era spending levels. Deal?
Then assuming Dim Won survives the election, in 2014, he will raise everybody’s taxes Of course, Bob the Short will argue that it will not be a tax increase. Then what does Reich know ab out economics?
Reich calls conservatives regressives. Yet a so-called progressive like Dumbo wants to increase health care access, so he discourages physician to practice medicine but hires thousands of now Internal Revenue Service agents I suppose if you need a knee replacement, you just go to your locale IRS field office.
Past it,rather,I’d say.
O brave new world. More choices are not necessarily equal to more “empowerment.” Or happiness.

Success is part inspiration and part perspiration. Barack Obama’s lack of success can be explained by that that he is lacking in both. In other words, President Fifty Seven States is both dumb and lazy, video:
Hat tip video: Gan Jan, Granny Janny and Jihad Kitty.
“… it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report …”
So responds the Obama White House to the dismal June job numbers.
But you know, in looking back, I see they used these EXACT SAME WORDS for the reports issued in 5/12 4/12, 3/12, 2/12, 1/12, 12/11, 11/11, 10/11, 9/11, 8/11, 7/11, 6/11, 5/11, 4/11, 3/11, 2/11, 1/11, 12/10, 11/10, 10/10, 9/10, 8/10, 7/10, 6/10, 5/10, 4/10, 3/10, 1/10 & 11/09.
Oh, it gets better…. we see by way of Dan Mitchell that they constantly paint a better picture than the reality does…..
And Dan points out…
Job creation has been extraordinarily weak. Indeed, the 8.2 percent unemployment rate actually masks the bad news since it doesn’t capture all the people who have given up and dropped out of the labor force.
Now, of course, everyone knows the press and the left are lying to us. …. particularly, the supposedly unbiased mainstream press who has been telling us that these figures are “unexpectedly bad” for every bit of the chart above.. I’ve remarked on this before, of course. We keep seeing this word from the Lamestream Media, when talking about the economy. Tell me, how many times must you be shocked and surprised by Obama’s leftist policies not working before it becomes a given? Apparently, the number is greater than listed here.
And as I’ve said before, as well, that there’s another point to be made here. We keep seeing ‘Revised” figures. Reynolds says it well:
Plus this: “The previous week’s figure was revised up to 420K from 414K.” Meaning that last week’s “good news” — a slight drop — was essentially bogus. More here, including this: “A Labor Department official said technical problems had resulted in claims for six states being estimated last week.”
The Technical problem is the occupant of the White House who desperately needs to be seen as a success…. so once the big headlines come out telling us how rosy everything is, the truth sneaks out when nobody’s watching. It’s been going on for years, now. The public knows it’s being lied to. Why can’t the lamestream media admit it? And of course, the answer for all of this that the White House gives us? Turn off Fox News, the only place that’s really telling the truth on these matters. You know why… the truth doesn’t support the liberal agenda.
Ohhh and just for the record…. Flashback: In 2004, Obama dismissed creation of 310,000 jobs under Bush
I’ll be for so called marriage equity when then inherently inferior social arrangement in fact prove to be equal, Anna Peirano, 429 Magazine:
Google is launching a new campaign called “Legalize Love” with the intention of inspiring countries to legalize marriage for lesbian, gay, and bisexual people around the world.
The “Legalize Love” campaign officially launches in Poland and Singapore on Saturday, July 7th. Google intends to eventually expand the initiative to every country where the company has an office, and will focus on places with homophobic cultures, where anti-gay laws exist
Why? Society should not promote as equal, what is not equal, from Roxeanne de Luca, Haemet:
In no particular order, any human society has gay men, lesbians, heterosexual men, heterosexual women, and asexual and chaste people. Gay men can’t get pregnant and can’t get their partners pregnant. Lesbians can’t get their partners pregnant and can’t get pregnant without artificial technology or switching teams, so to speak. Straight men can’t get pregnant (but can get women pregnant). Celibate people don’t get pregnant. The only group that can get pregnant through a sexual encounter is heterosexual women.
Alternative lifestyles share the common deficit of being unable to create and maintain a biological family.
Is it really love to promote social grouping which are inherently barren, and even with artificial assistance are incapable of producing an intact biological family? Call it lust. Don’t bother trying to call it love.
Two concurrent headlines that reflect that the nations chief diplomat and advocate of her so-called smart diplomacy, is none too smart, and not particularly concerned about women:
Hillary Clinton declares Afghanistan a ‘major non-Nato ally’ of US
With a few more victories like this Mrs. Clinton, we will all be back in the dark ages.
The day in 1945 there are only three occasions when the president failed to go to the deed a monument that honors the soldiers killed during that action.
Those three times were:
In 2010 , and that was Barack Obama.
In 2011 and that was Barack Obama, too.
In 2012 and that was also Barack Obama.
For nearly 70 years every president except Obama has paid tribute to the fallen soldiers killed on the day not Barry. This year he took the occasion to make a campaign trip on air force one to California to raise funds for the upcoming reelection effort. Oh… he also managed to get in a round or two of Golf.
