Obama Campaigned On The Backs Of Waiting-list Veteran Heroes In 2008
"Obama campaigned on the VA scandal while still a senator in 2008, got elected president and then forgot about it—until the scandal came back into the light of publicity this month. Speaking at a campaign rally in Charleston, W. Va., then Senator Obama promised veterans he would fix the problems plaguing Veterans Affairs hospitals:
'At a time when we’re facing the largest homecoming since the Second World War, the true test of our patriotism is whether we will serve our returning heroes as well as they’ve served us,' Obama said." . . . CanadaFreePress

New York Magazine 'Observes' Memorial Day Weekend by Posting Photos of Nude Servicemen
"Memorial Day should be observed by honoring the men and women in the military who have fallen for America. New York Magazine has found another way of observing the Memorial Day Weekend while at the same time pushing a certain political agenda. They have invaded the privacy of World War II servicemen and their families by publishing nude photographs of them: 10 Intimate Photographs of World War II Soldiers in the Buff.
Writer Christopher Bonanos can barely contain his excitement over the photos as he practically drools over himself while eagerly pushing a socio/political agenda at a time when those who have fallen should be honored:" . . . NewsBusters
CNN President Jeff Zucker: ‘We’re Not Going To Be Shamed Into Covering Benghazi.'
“'So we’re still there whenever that happens,' he continued, 'but we’re going to supplement that with some different kind of storytelling.'
What kind of stories? 'Climate change is onPatriotUpdatee of those stories that deserves more attention, that we all talk about,' he explained — though he lamented the fact that 'when we do do those stories, there does tend to be a tremendous amount of lack of interest on the audience’s part.' But there are some stories Zucker is loathe to touch, like the House select committee on Benghazi scandal." . . . DailyCaller

Barack Obama Seems to Learn a Lot from News Reports, Except How to Be President
"Carney replied, 'You mean the specific allegations that I think were reported first by your network out of Phoenix, I believe we learned about them first through your reports. I will double check if that’s not the case, but that’s when we learned about them and that’s when, as I understand, Secretary Shinseki learned about them and immediately took the action he has taken, including instigating his review — or initiating his own review, but also requesting that the inspector general investigate, and I think, again, I would point you to his testimony as well as the inspector general’s testimony last week." . . .

Director Of National Intel Clapper's Office Sued Over Ties To Chinese Government
"Judicial Watch believes it has found compelling evidence to suggest United States Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has uncomfortably close ties to the Chinese government. The watchdog group's lead was uncovered through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Judicial Watch announced Thursday that it has filed suit against the Office of the Director National of National Intelligence. The constitutional advocacy group has named DNI adviser Theodore H. Moran as working for Chinese company Huawei Technologies while on the US government payroll. According to Judicial Watch, the Chinese company, Huawei Technologies, has been cited by the United States Congress as having potential ties to Chinese intelligence." . . . Breitbart
Rush Limbaugh: Death Panel At Work In VA
“'These people are special. These are soldiers. They’re special. They got wounded in action … defending this country on missions assigned by their commander-in-chief and other commanding officers,' Limbaugh said.
'Now we learn of these deaths by attrition, secret waiting lists, and this is the real bad thing of it. People on these lists assume that they’re being moved ahead of the line. That’s the purpose of the secret list, that they’re going to really be taken care of. Because the backlog is so jammed, the line for treatment at the VA is so long that they’ve come up with this secret list business, and the people on that list think that they’re essentially being moved to the top of the class, or the head of the line, in front of the line. And they’re just being ignored,' he said.
He said it appears the death toll, combining various reports, has passed 100 victims.". . . WND

Judicial Watch Obtains 106-Page HHS Document Revealing Scope Of Obamacare Rollout Disaster
"The Affordable Health Care Act website, which officially launched on the Tuesday, October 1, immediately encountered substantial problems typical of those reported by the Chicago Tribune:
'Consumers seeking more information on their new options under the Affordable Care Act were met with long delays, error messages and a largely non-working federal insurance exchange and call center Tuesday morning.' Pressed for an explanation in a conference call with reporters Tuesday afternoon, Marilyn Tavenner, head of the HHS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, refused to disclose the number of people who had purchased insurance through the site saying, 'We have just decided not to release that yet.' The full extent of the failure, however, is reflected in the details provided by the Judicial Watch FOIA document revelations. They include:" . . . JudicialWatch

The first lady spoke on Friday to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kansas, and in remarks released over the weekend, Obama said students need to police family and friends because federal laws can only go so far in stopping racism." . . . TheBlaze
Is One Percenter Melinda Gates (Of Common Core Fame) Exploiting Nigerian School Girl Abduction In The Name Of Feminism?
"Someone should point out to Mrs. Bill Gates that advocating for abortion and excusing radical Islam will never bring back Boko Haram-kidnapped Christian school girls. Gates’ bylined CNN News story merely politicizes and exploits an already tragic situation in Nigeria. Public figures like Melinda Gates and Michelle Obama should be called out for using the #BringBackOurGirls hashtag to push their feminist, pro-abortion opinions on Third World tragedies.
Gates is using the billions of dollars advanced to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation by pro-abortion advocate Warren Buffet. Obama is using American tax dollars and her husband Barack’s bogus ‘War on Women’. Both spout how they personally feel about the Boko Haram kidnapping leaving the impression that the horrendous story is all about them—not the girls and their agonized loved ones." . . .

Common Core School Books Teaching Outright Lies About The Second Amendment
"Since 1797, liberals in Washington have sought to have the Second Amendment overturned, either through an outright removal of the amendment or by devouring it in bites until it was gone. Common Core teaching materials are the latest weapon in the liberal arsenal that seeks to take us off of the Constitution and place us under Marxist rule. The small cadre of billionaires at the top – Bill Gates, George Soros, et al – are using their mega-wealth to accomplish this goal. Barack Obama is their puppet, and they are pulling the strings." . . . NowTheEndBegins
Pelosi's Message To Grads: Be Disruptors!
"The California lawmaker urged graduates to tackle problems with income disparity, education quality and climate change. She told them their peers around the world will help, and there’s no need to wait for leaders to act.
Pelosi also touched on campaign finance, saying the Supreme Court 'equates money with speech, opening the floodgates to secret, special interest money in our elections.' But graduates could disrupt the system. 'Let’s restore power to the voices of the people, not the pockets of the privileged few,' [like herself - Webmaster] she said." . . . TheHill
Nintendo Promises To Push Leftist Agenda On Children
"Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO has given a boost to the next wave of progressivism politics – the effort to mainstream homosexuality and fashion a civil rights movement around the “equality” of same-sex marriage.

Michael Sam The Sham
"ESPN, the network that above all other networks has sold the Michael Sam story, meanwhile is still in denial. As of this writing, they have downplayed the OWN angle, having but one benign comment about it not being a good decision on their 'Cold Hard Facts' segment -- and by playing a sound byte from Weiss about the nondisclosure decision without comment. The back peddling is there, just in the early stages.
As for Oprah’s prediction that this moment will shape history forever, I think she’s right. But she’ll be surprised at the new shape of that history. The Michael Sam experiment has already made it less likely that athletes will now come out of the closet. That is, unless their real agenda is to become well paid movement celebrities and not athletes. Which is kind of my point." . . . AmericanThinker
SunTrust Bank Reverses Decision On Conservative Benham Brothers
"After an uproar from conservative customers, SunTrust Banks announced Friday afternoon that the decision to end its relationship with real estate entrepreneurs David and Jason Benham had been reversed. Earlier Friday, The Daily Caller reported that SunTrust Banks had pulled all of its listed properties with the Benham brothers’ bank-owned property business.
The move came just a week after HGTV announced it was canceling a planned home renovation show hosted by the Benhams because of their conservative views on abortion and same-sex marriage. By Friday afternoon, SunTrust released a statement saying the decision had been reversed." . . . TheDailyCaller
Air Force Academy Message Remains Unchanged: Cadets, Give Up Religious Liberties
"The Air Force Academy is digging itself a deeper hole, by trying to deflect the backlash it is receiving after coercing a cadet into erasing his whiteboard containing a scripture verse. The whiteboards are for personal use and hang outside the cadet’s dorm room.
Academy officials say it didn't order the cadet to remove God's word from public view, but that the cadet made the decision himself after being 'talked to' by his superiors. Now Mike Berry of Liberty Institute reports that according to the school's attorney, the cadet's voluntary action would not have mattered." . . . AFA
