MY SAY: ISABEL PERON AND CRISTINA FERNANDEZ DE KIRCHNER

Do these ladies remind you of the Democratic front runner (so far) for 2016??????rsk

María Estela Martínez Cartas de Perón is better known as Isabel Perón. She was the third wife of the former President, Juan Perón who had a taste for tarts. During her husband’s third term as president from 1973 to 1974, Isabel was both vice president and First Lady. When Peron died, Isabel became President and was in office from 1 July 1974 to 24 March 1976 where she gamely continued the corruption, theft, and cronyism of her departed husband and was deposed in 1976.

Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner is the current Presidenta of Argentina and widow of former president Néstor Kirchner. She succeeded her husband when his term ended. Unlike Isabel Peron, she was actually elected by a sizable margin, pledged to continue her husband’s thuggery and “redistribution” of national funds. Néstor Kirchner worked alongside his wife, Cristina. The press called their arrangement a “presidential marriage.” She was a great pal of Hugo Chavez and other assorted despots and ruined Argentina’s economy with corruption, falsification of public statistics, harassment of Argentina’s independent media and use of the tax agency as a censorship tool.

She is in the news now because of the “assisted suicide” of Alberto Nisman who charged that she conspired with Iran to cover up the nation’s deadliest terrorist attack.

Peter Smith: Sniping From the Loony Left

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Winston Churchill

What is it with our self-proclaimed betters, those moral and intellectual paragons who are always ready to recite, as if by Pavlovian conditioning, that war solves nothing and all soldiers are contemptible killers? Clint Eastwood’s latest movie has brought them into the open, all the better for an easy shot.

The movie American Sniper covers the four tours of duty in Iraq of US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. Clint Eastwood puts you right in a war zone without any desensitising introductions. It is disquieting, and meant to be no doubt. He brings home the sheer courage of US Marines combing through Iraqi streets and buildings not knowing if and when they would be maimed or killed. Kyle had the life-saving and noble role of protecting them from ambush. At least, that is the way I feel.

Some on the left, such as Michael Moore, feel differently. Snipers are ‘cowards’ apparently; ‘shooting people in the back’. Some deadbeat commentator on MSNBC (NBC News reporter Ayman Mohyeldin) described Chris Kyle’s exploits in defending US marines as going on a ‘killing spree’ and ‘showing racist tendencies towards Iraqis and Muslims’. Nothing printable adequately describes these self-obsessed poltroons who are able to enjoy their comfortable safe lives only because of courageous people like Chris Kyle?

But let’s take it on its face. What would these doyens of the loony left say about snipers in the Second World War? What would they say they about any soldier in any war who shot someone without giving them a warning and an even chance to shoot back? Crews of bombing planes will obviously fall foul of these armchair paragons of fair play in war. I doubt First World War sharpshooter Sergeant York (played by Gary Cooper in the 1941 movie) would escape unscathed.

EVEN OBAMA’S PRESS SECRETARY CAN’T FINESSE THE LIES: ONAN COCA

White House Press Secretary Forced to Admit that Obama Lied!

President Obama loves to say things that aren’t true. We know this. He often makes “facts” up out of thin air, only to have those “facts” be mindlessly repeated on the liberal airwaves. Eventually some hack at MSNBC or the Huffington Post will opine about how while Obama may have made “inartful” comments what he said was “basically” right… it’s maddening.

For example, let’s take this little gem of a lie that he made up on the fly (I assume) during a speech he was giving in Philadelphia.

“There is no economic metric by which we are not better off than when I took office. And that is because of the extraordinary will and dedication of the American people, but also because all of you have done a terrific job. And I’m proud of you for that.”

For Obama, lying is no big deal because as I said, the liberal mainstream media hardly ever calls him on any of his little stories.

However, the same does not go for Press Secretary Josh Earnest, who does have to deal with the fall out from the President’s ridiculous claims. What I really love though, is when even the guys Obama pays to make his lies sound reasonable can’t come up with any way to defend him!

Christian’s Stand in Texas against Muslim Fundraiser: Michael Ware

” A Christian woman took over the podium at the 11th annual Texas Muslim Capitol Day event on Thursday and declared, “”Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God, it will never dominate Texas.”
It is astonishing how little the mainstream media is talking about the backlash Muslim events are receiving in Texas. God fearing Texans are protesting the use of public buildings for Muslim events. This was fueled by the Sharia-law board or tribunal that was convened in Breitbart, Texas. This was reported by sonsoflibertymedia.com

Breitbart Texas confirmed Tuesday that “an Islamic Tribunal using Sharia law” is indeed operating in Texas. But not to worry: an attorney for the tribunal assures us that participation is “voluntary.” This is how it starts. This is how it started in the United Kingdom. When Sharia courts were instituted there, Muslim and non-Muslim officials alike all assured the British public and the world that they would be voluntary, restricted to matters involving non-criminal matters, and subject to the British courts. Any areas in which British law and Sharia law conflicted would be referred not to the Sharia courts, but to the British courts.

Then there was the event that took place in Austin Texas. The 11th annual Muslim Capital Day. There were protestors there as well. But one woman went further. Tim Brown reported:

Scott Walker to the Left: Take Your Premise and Shove It: By Michael Walsh

The Left is not used to being mocked and ignored; more please

Liking the cut of this guy’s jib more and more:

His speech at the Iowa Freedom Summit earned rave reviews, and was followed with what appears to be the first pro-Walker presidential ad. And everyone seems to have noticed what Walker’s opponents in Wisconsin have learned the hard way, repeatedly: he’s a formidable politician. This should worry his GOP rivals not only because of Walker’s win streak, but also because Walker is doing something many of them aren’t: he’s setting the terms of the debate instead of following the terms the Democrats have set.

Part of the media’s terrible coverage of national politics is the reliance on the personal: it matters to them who is saying it more than what is said. Romney got tagged as uncaring because he’s rich. But the classic conservative policies don’t reek of plutocracy when coming from the new crop of Republican stars, many of whom came from modest beginnings or are the children of immigrants, or both. Walker doesn’t even have a college degree, which itself is incomprehensible to modern Democrats, who are elitist and credentialist and genuinely don’t know what life is like in much of the country.

Alaska Legislature Unites to Fight Obama Arctic Drilling Plan By Rod Kackley

The only legislator in America to have been born and raised in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge told PJM he was “flabbergasted” by President Obama’s move to shut down oil and natural gas exploration and production in ANWR.

“I was floored by it,” Alaska Rep. Benjamin Nageak (D) said. “I wasn’t prepared to hear such a statement from the leader of the free world. I don’t think he knows exactly what he did.”

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the nation. It covers nearly 19.3 million acres of northeast Alaska, in what is known as the Alaska Northern Slope region.

The White House released a video [1] to explain the Obama administration’s thinking on why more than 12 million acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge had to be set aside as a federally protected wilderness area.

Report: Federal Government Issued Nearly 5.5 Million Work Permits to Foreign Nationals Since 2009 By Ryan Lovelace

More than 5.46 million foreign nationals have received work permits from the federal government since 2009, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies. Data uncovered from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency reveal that approximately 982,000 work permits were given to illegal immigrants and other foreign nationals unqualified for admission, most of whom crossed the border without inspection. USCIS is the agency within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for issuing work permits and processing applications related to President Obama’s executive action on immigration. On Tuesday, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that funds DHS, while blocking funding that would allow USCIS to implement the president’s executive action.

Obama Does Have a Strategy By Victor Davis Hanson

Once you see what he is trying to accomplish, it all makes sense.

The Wise People of American foreign policy — Madeleine Albright, General Jack Keane, Henry Kissinger, General James Mattis, George Shultz, and others — recently testified before Congress. Their candid and insightful collective message dovetailed with the worries of many former Obama-administration officials, such as one-time defense secretaries Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, as well as a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. Their consensus is that the U.S. is drifting, and with it the world at large: The Obama administration has not formulated a consistent strategy to cope with the advance of second-generation Islamic terrorism. It is confused by the state upheavals in the Middle East. It is surprised by the aggression of Putin’s Russia and the ascendance of an autocratic China. Our allies in Europe, much of democratic Asia, and Israel all worry that the U.S. is rudderless, as it slashes its military budget and withdraws from prior commitments.

HIJAB DAY AT NP3 HIGH SCHOOL- ON THE GLAZOV GANG

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/frontpagemag-com/hijab-day-at-np3-high-school-on-the-glazov-gang/

This week’s Glazov Gang was joined by Michael Loftus, host of The Flipside With Michael Loftus, Morgan Brittany, a conservative TV and movie star, and Tommi Trudeau, host of Politics Tonight With Tommi Trudeau.

The Gang discussed Hijab Day at NP3 High School, analyzing why the Muslim Brotherhood is being allowed to infiltrate a public charter school in Sacramento. The guests also focused on Michelle Obama’s “No” to Hijab in Riyadh, Islam — A House of Cards?, A Day in the Life of Sharyl Attkisson and much more.

The Cowardice of Michael Moore By Daniel Greenfield

“It has been said truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press,” Senator Zell Miller said at the Republican National Convention in 2004. “It is the soldier, not the poet who has given us the freedom of speech.”

“But don’t waste your breath telling that to the leaders of my party today,” the Democrat added.

Miller, a former Marine, was reviled by the same media trolls who had called Michael Moore’s Oscar rant a year earlier “courageous”. But there was nothing courageous in a lefty activist bashing Bush to an audience of fellow lefties.
