Lord Weidenfeld, 94, a Jewish British citizen, is spending his own money to rescue 2000 Christians from the Islamic State terrorists in Syria and Iraq.  He’s doing this to show his gratitude to the religion that rescued him from the Nazis in occupied Austria in 1938.In today’s politically correct world however, where “no good deed goes unpunished,” he is being criticized for not offering to rescue Muslims who are also being persecuted by the Islamic State. Fortunately for the world, members of the Greatest Generation are far more capable of practicing judicious pragmatism than their progeny. Allow Lord Weidenfeld to...

In another in his series of “How about I give you my new car for one of your old shoes?” deals, BHO and his secretary Jean Carré sealed their nuclear deal with Iran. And as soon as Congress rubber stamps it, the Barry-Carré team will enable the staging of George Carlin’s wet dream. “I can't wait until the Middle East really explodes. Ancient hatred and modern weapons. My kind of show, man!” - George Carlin And this just in from BHO’s early morning teleprompter read: Big Guy will “vee-toe” any attempt by the do-nothing Congress to oppose his will. So...

Take a bow, MOTI, you are all innate insurgents.At least according to Daniel Greenfield, the Sultan of Knish. I think one of you must have posted a link to this post as it was in my satchel of “must reads.” Butt if, like me, you never find time to get around to reading all those gems stuffed into your perpetual stack of stuff, here’s one you don’t want to miss: Five Ways to Fight the Left and Make Your Life Better. He lists 5 things that the MOTI (Famiglia MOTUS) have been doing for years now. Organic Opposition doesn't require...

Of course it’s a musical! With TransJenders! Kinky Boots: A drag queen comes to the rescue of a man who, after inheriting his father's shoe factory, needs to diversify his product if he wants to keep the business afloat. That’s right, the entire first female family went to Broadway to watch the Tony Award winning Kinky Boots. Why? Because we’re on vacation! And we’re not going to Martha’s Vineyard for another 4 weeks. First Lady Michelle Obama and her two daughters brought their dancing shoes to the Saturday matinee of the hit Broadway show “Kinky Boots.”The First Family, despite the...

Yeah, that’s right: all this for a damn flag. In the mistaken belief that denying history is the same as making it go away, the Confederate Flag was laid to rest yesterday by a coalition of States’ Rights deniers and 21st Century Orwellians.In a breath-taking act of self-censorship the South Carolina Assembly voted to refrain from exercising their freedom of expression and banished the flag from the capital. Forgetting, or ignoring, the actual history of the Civil War in favor of a version that makes it all about slavery is all very au courant. And it’s a cute trick: by denying...

One of these things is not like the other things…Is it: One is wearing a hoodieOne is wearing a cap and gownOne is not wearing a seatbeltOne is walking while whiteNone of the above The correct answer is 5, none of the above because: The real answer to our quiz is that, with the exception of Kate, Big Guy personally called to console family members of Trayvon, Michael and Freddie; and he sent representatives to their funerals. I would also note that Barry has also not publicly condemned “San Francisco” Sanchez for “acting stupidly” and murdering Kate while walking white...

If you’re one of those people who believes there’s no such thing as a coincidence, you’re my kind of cynic. And yesterday was your kind of day: The Wall Street Journal, United Airlines, New York Stock Exchange…all with “computer glitches?” I think not.-Do you think it’s a coincidence that America’s spelling has deteriorated since we adopted Common Core standards? Pleaze diskuss amongst yerselves.That’s right, fresh crap every day.Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror

Let’s see if I’ve got the facts straight: illegal immigrant (no person is ‘illegal’”) - a repeat felon previously deported to Mexico 5 times (we don’t need no stinkin’ wall!) who was released despite a detainer request from ICE because San Francisco is a sanctuary city (“illegals” have rights too!) - steals gun from FBI agent’s car (if only we had better gun control laws!) and kills young woman in cold blood.And Hillary is still demanding citizenship for the 11 to 20 million illegals already in-country (plus the millions of others who will arrive in time to vote for her)? Well...

Last August Big Guy admitted we didn’t have a plan to defeat ISIS/L. Then in February we rolled out the Harf plan of “Jobs for Jihadis” to defeat ISIS. Apparently that didn’t work out so Big Guy was forced to admit last mont that  “we don't have a complete strategy yet.”Since then Barry determined that we don’t actually need a strategy after all since “ideologies are not defeated with guns, they are defeated by better ideas.” So now we’re working on better ideas. Here’s the best of our better ideas so far: 1. Gay marriage, aka #LoveWins: 2. Capitalism: If...

Remember this?Well congratulations! You are now! Except for one thing: after a few non-lethal union concessions, Detroit got the State to bail them and their pensions out. Greece just said “no” to the EU’s demand for concessions, so…this should be fun.Hard to believe isn’t it? The country that founded democracy has discovered how to destroy it. Well actually, Alexis de Tocqueville identified that mechanism a couple of centuries ago: “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” And we’ve been implementing it incrementally ever since:  Detroit’s giant tire...

Like all of your favorite radio/teevee hosts I’m doing a “best of” today. I hope you enjoy my 2015 4th of July retrospective.Happy Birthday America!From 2011: a pre-4th post from Camp David, Home For the Holiday: Feliz Quarto De Julio Anyway, the long and short of it is Lady M decided to send me and Little Mo back to the Big White to weed and water the Big White Organic Garden of Versus in order to give our illegal Mexicans the rest of the Quarto de Julio weekend off. From 2012:  Happy Birthday America! July 4, 2012 in which we...

I was saving this for the Fourth of July, butt it occurred to me that it would be too depressing for such a glorious holiday. So I leave you to ponder its implications today, and save tomorrow for rolling out the flags.And you can bet that at least half of the people interviewed here about America’s Declaration of Independence were on the honor roll at their school.Remember: Sheeple are made not born. So if you must blame anyone for this sort of wanton ignorance, blame our public education system as well as its school of continuing education – MSM.All I...

In this, the 7th year of our historic post-racial, post-partisan presidency, I would like to provide a brief update on our progress toward racial harmony: Life Before Obama (aka BCE - Before Common Error): A diverse mob stampedes through Walmart to buy stuff on Black Friday. After Obama (aka CE - Common Error) A group of “young marauders” rampage through a Macon, Georgia Walmart to break stuff and “see how much damage they could do.” You are not allowed to flaunt your white privilege by calling them “young thugs” as that would be deemed a micro-aggression. So, just shut up.And...

Wake up liberal white American: when you  hump for “social justice” you’re humping for Latin American style social justice. Free TeeVee! All day long!Given that, it should come as no surprise that one of the mantras of social justice is “immigration reform” -which could more correctly be called open border policy.So when whites become a minority in America (as Crazy Uncle Joe celebrates) the new nation of immigrants will not only vote as a Democratic block, they will vote as a block to bring Latin American style “democracy” on-shore: thus completing the “transformation of America.” Given that it’s not really...

We’re going to have to cut those spanakopita pieces smaller!Okay, I’ve decided to back The Donald for president. Oh sure, he’s a pompous, arrogant, rich, white guy. Butt what difference, at this point, does it make? At least he speaks the truth: je suis Greece. In announcing his candidacy for U.S. president, Trump called Greece “unsalvageable” as he warned that America, with its own mounting debt, could end up just like it. – Politico Greece ran out of its own money a long time ago and now, as Madam Thatcher warned, it’s finally running out of other people’s as well,...

Last week at a LGBT Gay Pride reception in the East Room, Big Guy got a little taste of how many of us feel most of the time when he was repeatedly assaulted by a rude interloper:It’s not clear how Ms. Gutierrez, 29, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico living in Los Angeles, got into the gay pride reception in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday. All visitors to the White House face a background check by the Secret Service, which didn’t respond to questions about the incident. – Washington TimesImagine the audacity! An undocumented immigrant from Mexico...

The best argument for gay marriage so far:Once you’re out of the shadows, nobody can touch you.And in case you missed it last night, allow me to repeat this brilliant assignment from Sr. Agnes’ 10th grade typing class - These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict,...

When words no longer matter…we cease to be a nation of laws and become a nation of Scotuscare. When words no longer matter the Judicial Branch can appropriate the powers of the Legislative Branch…which they have more or less conceded to the Executive Branch anyway.When words no longer matter …well, that reminds me of a song: "Revolution"You say you want a revolution Well you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know you can count me...

Question: Does America really need another skinny, big-eared man of color as president? Answer: Yes, if the next one is a God-fearing, Gun-toting,red-blooded first generation American who loves his wife, family and country. If you consider the concept of the American melting pot a form of racial “micro-aggression” you probably won’t like Bobby Jindal – a first generation Indian (no, sorry, not Native) who has assimilated American values better than most Americans whose roots go back generations.On the other hand, if you think America needs fewer salad bowls and more fondues, this guy’s for you. Read or watch Bobby Jindal’s all-American...

Have you been following this flag controversy? “Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on the sale of Confederate flag merchandise, amid an intensifying national debate over the use of the controversial flag.” The confederate flag has been deemed to be a dog whistle and as such should be considered an offensive racial artifact. And since “we won” it must come down.Even some of our more opportunistic astute presidential candidates have weighed in:To quote a wise old black woman:“All this for a damned flag?” BTW: You can buy Hillary’s latest anti-racist campaign buttons here.Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror
