US Border Patrol helicopter forced down by gunfire from Mexico

Saturday, June 6th, 2015

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter operating near the Mexican border Texas was forced down after taking gunfire from people firing from Mexico.  An article from Breitbart states that the helicopter was part of a team interdicting a narcotics load and working with the U.S. Border Patrol.  The operation occurred near the headquarters of the Los Zetas drug cartel.

One has to wonder if the Los Zetas were one of the Mexican drug cartels that the Obama regime supplied weapons to.

I am prepared to be underwhelmed by our Dear Leader’s response to this armed attack from a foreign country on US federal agents.  The Mexican drug cartels have declared war the US.  Hopefully the response will be something stronger than supplying them more weapons payed for by the American taxpayer.

Update: CBP now has armored Blackhawks on the Mexican border.

Round Up Post

Sunday, March 22nd, 2015

First off is a case of far left extremist (in this case a “social justice warrior”) putting up “Whites Only” stickers around Austin, TX.  He did to show how conservatives are “racists” and stuff.  All too often, cases of “hate crimes” like this are perpetrated by “progressives” in order to make reality match their extremist agenda.   HT to Leslie Bates for this one.

Next, the “most transparent administration ever” has announced that the IRS isn’t going to release any documents concerning their well documented targeting of conservative political groups.  In Obamamerica, the Freedom of Speech protections of the First Amendment only applies to speech our Dear Leader approves of.

The National Review points out that the Obama administration and Congressional democrats  “are practically praying for a Christian terrorist.”   They keep turning up to be Muslims though…

Quote of the Day

Wednesday, March 18th, 2015

Buck Sexton nailed it shut:

“Netanyahu wins; Hamas, Hezbollah, Iranian mullahs, and the [Obama] White House are totally bummed about it.

Let that sink in.”

The implications of that accurate statement are left as an exercise to the reader.

Quote of the Day

Jonah Goldberg makes the following accurate observation:

When someone asks, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a female president?” the correct answer, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, to be sure, is “Yes.”

When asked, “Wouldn’t it be great to have Hillary Clinton as president?” The correct answer, again with varying degrees of enthusiasm, is “Oh, dear God, no. No, no, no. No.”

What Hillary Clinton is trying to do is to make these questions synonymous. If you’re against having Hillary Clinton as president, you’re against having a woman president. It was a game that Barack Obama played with some sophistication. The “Ready for Hillary” crowd is about as subtle as a case of the clap.

In case you need reminding why this is true, here is just one reason: ‘Clintons turned the State Department into a racket to line their own pockets’

Another Four Pinocchios for Obama

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015

Once again, the Washington Post Fact Checker has given our Dear Leader the highest rating, Four Pinocchios, for out right lying to the American People.

This time it is for spreading leftist propaganda about the Keystone pipeline.

As we have noted before, when the president says “it bypasses the United States,” he leaves out a very important step. The crude oil would travel to the Gulf Coast, where it would be refined into products such as motor gasoline and diesel fuel (known as a distillate fuel in the trade). Current trends suggest that only about half of that refined product would be exported, and it could easily be lower.

Finally, note that Obama said Keystone was just for Canadian oil, and “we should be focusing on American infrastructure for American jobs and American producers.” But actually, Keystone would help U.S. oil producers in North Dakota and Montana. TransCanada, the builder of the pipeline, has signed contracts to move 65,000 barrels a day from the Bakken area –and hopes to build that to 100,000. That’s nearly 10 percent of the region’s production.

So not only is Barry lying, he’s repeating lies.  As the Washington Post article, reports from the State Department show that he is lying.

Previous Four Pinocchio rating for our Dear Leader include lies about President George H.W. Bush’s amnesty program, and lies about his signature Obamacare fiasco.

Culture of Corruption

Thursday, February 19th, 2015

As I’ve pointed out before, if you want to know what the left is up to, just observe what they accuse those they perceive as foes of.

Case in the point, the “Culture of Corruption” charge they leveled against the Republicans.

Let’s review how that actually works

Former New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was indicted Thursday on three charges after his arrest in a federal bribery case.

The indictment was returned in Manhattan federal court, where he appeared briefly last month when he was freed on bail just a day after sharing the stage with Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his State of the State address.

Then there is the DNC spokesliar, Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  Politico reports that her “office offered to change her position on medical marijuana if a major Florida donor recanted his withering criticism of her…”

A leftist gets mugged by reality

Tuesday, February 17th, 2015

I’ve often said that reality is not a strong point of the left.  Their narrative is much more important to them than actual facts.

This refusal to accept reality can produce painful results.  Today’s example (by way of Moe Lane & the Instapundit)

tweet of the day

 

It was pointed out, repeatedly, by people who actually read the so-called “Affordable Care Act”, that it was a disaster waiting to happen.  People were going to lose coverage, prices would go up, and access to actual affordable health care would decline.

Rather than face these facts that inconveniently disagreed with their socialist narrative, the collective left called those who actually read the bill, “racists,” which was certainly easier than reading the bill for themselves.

Now, not only does this leftist idiot not have health care coverage, she is going to get fined by the government she helped to elect, for not having it.  In addition, she inflicted this disaster of a law on millions of Americans who didn’t want it.

Two key democrat voting demographics

Sunday, November 2nd, 2014

With the mid-term elections coming fast (Tuesday, except if you are Progressive, then you have a special voting day on Wednesday), expect the democrats to try and maximize two of their two key voting demographics, the dead and non-citizens.

Let us review:

Mr. Reynolds was spot on correct when he said the following about democrats, “Remember,  you don’t just have to beat them. You have to beat them beyond the margin of fraud.”

Update: First case of voter fraud confirmed in New Mexico. It won’t be the last.
