Have pen / phone, will dictate!  With Leonardo DiCaprio there to cheer you on. In the latest installment of the Imperial Presidency, Obama is considering an executive order that would put a huge swath of the Pacific Ocean off-limits to humans, creating what his administration calls the greatest marine sanctuary in history.  As if marine animals don’t, you know, travel. — And so the real goal for which is to

To borrow a mantra from the progressive obstructionists trotted out so frequently during the Iraq War, “I question the timing.”  As does James Rosen of Fox: Listen to the smarmy disdain this spokeswoman has for a reporter like Rosen (previously under government surveillance) who dared step out of the prescribed narrative, which was to be a media fawning over “Obama’s” timely get, and the political savvy of that timing. The

6:48 AM Mountain Time:  The sun is out, the grass is still glazed over from the sprinklers — creating a very tranquil deep green sheen — and the sky is clear and azure blue.   As I sip coffee from my perch on the a small wooden stool I keep on my front porch, I watch a few swallows dart silently by then loop around the trees in the front yard.

Remember that great youth movement for Obama — the young supporters, first-time voters, mostly college kids?  Well, they fucked up!  They trusted him!  “Obama’s Balloon: Federal Student Loan Debt Up 517% in 5 Years”: Since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009, the cumulative outstanding balance on federal direct student loans has jumped 517.4 percent. The balance owed as of the end of May was $739,641,000,000.00. That is an

Emotionalist Rousseauvian gibberish once again tries to lay claim to art. “Metropolitan Opera romanticizes one NYer’s murder” : In 1985, New Yorker Leon Klinghoffer, 69, and his wife Marilyn took a cruise to celebrate their 36th wedding anniversary. Leon never came back: Four members of the Palestine Liberation Front hijacked the Achille Lauro, shot him in the head and threw him overboard in his wheelchair. Starting in October, The Metropolitan Opera

In this case, we have Colorado Governor Hickenlooper attempting to rewrite legislative history and walk himself back toward the practical “moderate” pro-business label he relies upon to bullshit his way through election cycles.  Only something happened on the way to the forum… “Gov. Hickenlooper’s attempt to charm Colorado sheriffs backfires”: Gov. John Hickenlooper ignited a political firestorm with his comments Friday to Colorado’s sheriffs, saying he was unaware they wanted

Obama, without Congressional approval (naturally), has sent 250 or so troops to Iraq to help “train” the beleaguered victims of the terrorists overtaking the country he all but abandoned. Which is, of course, nothing more than a move to placate critics and create a veneer of concern over the disintegration of Iraq and the ascension of an Islamist caliphate, beginning with its own nation state. Then it’s off to golf

No.  It’s not hyperbole, either.  In a 5-4 decision, the Court reversed the rationale behind the natural right encapsulated in the 2nd Amendment, in my view, inasmuch as its ruling doesn’t sanction the prohibition of criminals from obtaining firearms as it does reinforces the government’s right to track who has them.  For the Greater Good, you see.  AP: A divided Supreme Court sided with gun control groups and the Obama

I just received close to 2-years worth of emails from Lois Lerner, but when I went to open them, they’d disappeared and been replaced by what seems a very intriguing, very promising financial proposal from a wealthy, embattled Nigerian prince…
