Obama administration declares: ‘we have
no greater ally than France’. What

| According to a recent poll conducted by Rasmussen, the American public sees Canada (93 percent support), and Britain (90 percent support), as America’s top two allies. Israel comes in third with 74 percent support. France trails behind on 69 percent. That’s not how the Obama administration sees it, however. In an interview with L’Express (hat tip: Julian Pecquet, The Hill), Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano told her French audience that “we have no greater partner than France, we have no greater ally than France,” in an effort to convince them that Washington had not been hacking into

The moron running France now is every bit the left wing stooge Obama is and he doesn´t even try to hide it. He was elected the same way Obama was with a minority,majority.People think that him and Obama can create money out of thin air and solve all their problems. The hell with reality getting in the way.
I have to congratulate the French for standing up against gay marriage though.
The criminal and paranoid Obama admin. will spy and hack anybody at the drop of a hat. Having blackmail material is always handy. Maybe they used blackmail on Sarkosy to bomb Libya,you never know.

There is a funny Youtube out there of zero meeting with 8-10 leaders of various countries, in every instance he told them they were our ´greatest ally´ and were ´pulling above their weight´, it was compiled by a Swedish newsman, I believe. Wish I had saved it. If he was just a moron we could survive but we are up against evil.

The odd thing is that of all the older nations nations, I do not believe that we have never been at war with France. Even during the Napoleonic Wars, where we got caught in the crossfire, we were attacked by Britain (War of 1812). And we fought briefly with Canada.

Down, down inside the Pyongyang Metro stands a statue of the Eternal Ruler of North Korea, Generalissimo Kim Il Sung – dead these past 19 years but still calling the shots. Brainwashing cast in bronze. The regime’s florid propaganda blares from loudspeakers: ‘The pure white snows of our sacred mountains’ artillery will wipe the filthy enemy from existence.’ Or something like that. [Snip] I’ve reported from Ceausescu’s Romania, Saddam’s Iraq, Gaddafi’s Libya, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe and the Ayatollahs’ Iran – but after eight days undercover in North Korea, I believe this regime is the most frightening tyranny of all.

COLUMBIA—South Carolina’s unemployment agency will lay off 100 employees in June as part of a statewide reorganization that directs anyone seeking jobless benefits to use its upgraded online system, the agency’s interim director announced. John Finan said the Department of Employment and Workforce will eliminate one-on-one help with unemployment claims on June 10, and the number of local offices offering job training and other re-employment services will shrink. Exactly how many of those 56 offices remain open past June will depend on decisions made by the state’s 12 workforce investment boards, he said.

A single half-muffled bell will toll from St Paul’s to greet the funeral cortege of Baroness Thatcher on Wednesday. In front of the coffin, Michael and Amanda Thatcher will lead the procession for their beloved grandmother. They will carry on cushions the Order of the Garter and the Order of Merit, two of the highest honours the Queen can bestow. [Snip] The ceremonial funeral, meticulously planned by the former prime minister, reveals her profound Christian faith. A strong Methodist upbringing was the bedrock from which Lady Thatcher built her political creed of self-reliance and personal responsibilty.

With some of America´s tastiest, yet unhealthiest food, it´s no wonder that for years, many have deemed people from the South to be amongst the fattest in the nation. [Snip] But a new study from the University of Alabama in Birmingham says that the South is not as fat as the rest of the world would have us believe. The journal Obesity, says that there’s a higher concentration of obese people in the Midwestern states of Minnesota, Kansas and North and South Dakota. The northern region of the country appears to have about 41 percent obesity compared to 31 percent

So what will be remembered as the biggest political event of spring 2013? Naturally the death of Lady Thatcher must be the prime candidate. But there is another that has thus far consumed only a tiny proportion of the column inches that have rightly been expended on the passing of the Iron Lady yet may have more pro found and longerlasting consequences. I speak of the rise and rise of Ukip. The Eastleigh by-election, in which Ukip sensationally beat the Conservatives to second place, has of course registered in the national political consciousness.

For what it´s worth I think the BBC has no business censoring the music charts--even if it involves a song as insensitively timed and crassly-chosen as Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead! a) we should do everything we can to discourage this idea the BBC has of itself as a branch of the Nanny State.

This is written in haste, at the end of a day full of meetings. But British readers must know about the case of Dr Kermit Gosnell, which has been played down in the American media – possibly because the allegations of a homicidal abortion doctor don´t fit into their pro-choice narrative. The following quotes are taken from Conor Friedersdorf´s report in The Atlantic. You will need a strong stomach, but I urge you to read it all. The grand jury report in the case of Dr Kermit Gosnell, 72, is among the most horrifying I´ve read. "This case is about

A group of private citizens have documented using motion-detector cameras illegal immigrants crossing the border into the United States. The group, Secure Border Intelligence, also has recorded audio conversations between Border Patrol pilots and agents on the ground which they say document the how porous the border is with Mexico. ´We haven´t been in that area for hours... we´re being inundated where we´re at,´ one drone pilot says of the border. [Snip] And in another recording, a helicopter pilot reports: ´We´re going to need another person over here, we´ve got about 50 bodies out there.´

Its flavour may be more gentle than a conventional clove, but wild garlic adds a sweet pungency to many springtime dishes. Last spring a friend left a carrier bag hanging on my door. I could smell what was inside before I looked. She had returned from Wales with armfuls of wonderful wild garlic: green, lush and overwhelmingly pungent. Foragers have long known of wild garlic, also known as ´ramsons´ or ´ramps´ (Allium ursinum). In 1972 in Food for Free, Richard Mabey noted that ´for those who like their garlic strong, ramsons will prove magnetic´.

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

On his Friday show, syndicated talk show host Mark Levin said that a Republican congressman is attempting to persuade one of his affiliates to remove his show from the airwaves. Although Levin would not offer the congressman’s name on air, he has been a vocal critic of various members of the House Republican leadership in the past. But Levin called the situation “fascism.” “Well, it has come to my attention that there is a Republican congressman out there who doesn’t like what I’ve been saying,” Levin said. “It has come to my attention that there is a

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, said on Tuesday that the healthcare law, set to go into full effect in less than eight months, is “probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress” and “is just beyond comprehension.” Rockefeller said he is concerned that early missteps with implementing the healthcare overhaul may cascade into confusion and chaos. The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

Few Americans can not answer this question: who is the worst domestic mass murderer in United States’ history? Due to the United States media, most are aware that Timothy McVeigh slaughtered 168 people with a bomb in 1995. Most Americans also know the names of our three most monstrous serial killers: “The Green River Killer” Gary Ridgeway, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy. The U.S. media is again responsible for the general awareness of these men; these stories deserved — and received — national attention due to our common interest in personal safety, the rule of law

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

Here is something I don’t understand: liberals are often revealed as vile, vulgar hatemongers–not all of them, of course, but far too many–yet they never seem to pay a penalty at the polls. Why is that? Margaret Thatcher’s death has been the latest occasion for the Left to show its true stripes. All across the U.K., there have been demonstrations–vulgar at best, and violent at worst. In Bristol, lefties celebrating a Thatcher “death street party” started fires, destroyed property and battled police: This evening in Trafalgar Square, liberals have turned out for a long-planned celebration of Thatcher’s death:

Newtown killer Adam Lanza’s mother considered suing Sandy Hook Elementary School after teachers turned a blind eye to beatings from his classmates, a family member claims. The relative, speaking to the Daily News, claimed that mass murderer Lanza was taunted and attacked by fellow students at his childhood alma mater. “Nancy felt fiercely protective of him,” the relative said. “She was convinced the school wasn’t doing enough to protect Adam. It made her irate.” Nancy Lanza — gunned down by her 20-year-son to start his Dec. 14 rampage — even tagged along with Adam to school

Then you notice the blue lights flashing. You´re savoring the satisfaction of seeing a trooper actually nab an aggressive driver — until you realize it´s you he´s pulling over.
