**Written by Doug Powers President Obama's overseas, which means another opportunity has presented itself to give the world myriad examples why the country he was elected to lead is totally sub-par. Example number one from Obama's town hall in Laos: President Barack Obama says Americans can get “lazy” and insular, and he hopes his presidency has helped broaden their worldview. Speaking to a group of young leaders from across Southeast Asia, Obama says the U.S. “is and can be a great force for g...

Sicko terrorist Lynne Stewart: Still hating cops by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2016 Old age and illness have not dulled the tongue or treasonous soul of convicted jihad-enabling lawyer Lynne Stewart. She's as vile and violence-promoting as ever. Freed from prison two years ago on “compassionate release” after being diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, the flaming 76-year-old radical is still championing left-wing massacres against the police. And still kicking America in the t...

**Written by Doug Powers Hillary Clinton has started answering some questions from the media again, but only above 35,000 feet because she's been told Justitia's jurisdiction ends at the lower troposphere. Today, Clinton made it known that she's created jobs at more places than just BleachBit, Platte River Networks and Craftsman's hammer division. There's also the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Factory: HILLARY CLINTON: The FBI resolved all of this, their report answered all the questions, the fin...

**Written by Doug Powers The FBI discovered that somebody on Team Clinton used BleachBit to permanently scrub thousands of Hillary's emails just three weeks after the New York Times first reported on the use of a private server. Yesterday, Clinton took a couple of questions from an otherwise enamored press aboard her plane, and was asked about BleachBit. It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Most Qualified Candidate in History™ was completely unaware of anything: “I don't know anything abou...

**Written by Doug Powers “Journalists” who have kids and are looking to ask Hillary Clinton a question now know what they have to do: For a donation of $2,700, the children (under 16) of donors at an event last month at the Sag Harbor, N.Y., estate of the hedge fund magnate Adam Sender could ask Mrs. Clinton a question. A family photo with Mrs. Clinton cost $10,000, according to attendees. And making sure the kid is spotted wearing a “Goldman Sachs Junior Executives Club” shirt while submitting...

Well, Obama just used his pen & phone to save the planet via the Paris Agreement, so the water should start to recede soon. Can somebody please ask wealthy liberals who push this kind of climate change alarmism why they continue to invest millions in coastal real estate? If they actually believed these doomsday predictions you'd be able to pick up an East Hampton Village beach rental for about a hundred bucks a month, but instead, coastal regions remain the **Written by Doug Powers It's Labor ...

Anti-gun New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg is dumping gobs of last-minute money into a local sheriff's race in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's political action committee, Independence USA, has purchased $150,833 in television ads in an effort to defeat Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and support his opponent Milwaukee police lieutenant Chris Moews. Another liberal advocacy group, the “Greater Wisconsin Committee,” has poured an additional $400,...

**Written by Doug Powers The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in DC had its moments, but perhaps none was more idiotic than John Kerry citing starvation and malnutrition statistics in Africa and using that as evidence that they need to halt the creation of new farmland to combat the global warming that's the cause of the hunger problem, or something.Un-freakin-real: During the Africa Summit “Resilience and Food Security in a Changing Climate” panel, Secretary of State John Kerry told an audience that ...

Readin', Writin', and Social Justice Agitatin' by Michelle MalkinCreators SyndicateCopyright 2014 It's back-to-school season across the country. But in an increasing number of districts, “back to school” doesn't mean back to learning. Under the reign of social justice indoctrinators, academics are secondary to political agitation. Activism trumps achievement. In Massachusetts, the John J. Duggan Middle School will open on August 25 with a new name and mission. It is now a “social justice magnet...

**Written by Doug Powers The next thing you know President Obama will be saying “everybody knows you did build that.” From CNS News: First lady Michelle Obama said something Wednesday that seems preposterously ironic to many American school kids: “No one really cares what you had for lunch.” “I tease my kids,” Michelle Obama said at a White House event on women's empowerment with Laura Bush. “I tell them I want them to use Instagram to take a picture of something really important rather than the...

**Written by Doug Powers Hollywood lefty Robert Redford is suing the state of New York in dispute of a $1.6 million tax bill. Because Redford endorsed Team Obama in 2012, maybe one of the people he supported can convince him to stop complaining and just pay the tab for the greater good, whether it's legally owed or not: **Written by Doug PowersTwitter @ThePowersThatBe     

**Written by Doug Powers Geography master Joe Biden demonstrated his prowess again yesterday. From the “imagine if Sarah Palin said this” file, here's Biden's latest: “There is no reason the nation of Africa cannot, and should not, join the ranks of the worlds most prosperous nations,” Biden said. Biden sometimes doesn't know what state or century he's in so that's not really very surprising.**Written by Doug PowersTwitter @ThePowersThatBe     

**Written by Doug Powers Somewhere there are probably people getting very, very rich thanks to “accounting errors” like these: A government website intended to make federal spending more transparent was missing at least $619 billion from 302 federal programs, a government audit has found. And the data that does exist is wildly inaccurate, according to the Government Accountability Office, which looked at 2012 spending data. Only 2% to 7% of spending data on USASpending.gov is “fully consistent w...

Murder in Rio Grande Valley: “This is coming to a town near you” by Michelle MalkinCreators SyndicateCopyright 2014 The voice on the other end of the line is exasperated. “It's insane,” he wants America to know. “We're in a war zone.” And there's no room for apathy.“This is coming to a town near you,” he warns.

**Written by Doug Powers Here's a shorter version of Nancy Pelosi: Israel's right. Hamas is right. If we help Israel maintain their Iron Dome, Hamas can vent their anger and nobody gets hurt — it's a win/win! At least that's how I interpreted this incredibly inane doublespeak: Pelosi said the first thing to do is to “avoid conflict” that “Hamas initiated.” “[T]his has to be something where we try to have the two-state solution, that we have to support…(Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud) Abb...
