| Members of the national media are never so unattractive as when they turn the spotlight on themselves, and their weekend hissy fit after President Obama ignored them proves the point. It was the equivalent of a lovers’ quarrel over leaving the cap off the toothpaste tube. It makes for juicy gossip among the neighbors, but ultimately, nobody really cares. Yet WaWaWa went the wail when the White House press corps traveled to Florida and couldn’t get a staged picture of Obama playing golf with Tiger Woods. The First Duffer wouldn’t even reveal his score. The outrage! The drama!

Now the bizarre reason for a lot of these media folks being concerned about Obama golfing with Woods is because he´s in the 1%. That never crossed my mind but the left´s watchdogs on that group of people,keeps them up at night.
The fact that Woods was a serial cheater and made an international ass out of his wife doesn´t bother them one bit.

We have agents of propaganda disguised as reporters who have done an immeasurable amount of harm to this nation. However, they will regain their vicious objectivity as soon as there is a Republican in the White House if that ever happens again.

Not about 1%. Obama plays with them all of the time. Only room for one star. Obama has a lousy golf game and didn´t want to be one upped. Tiger has his own problems; doesn´t need any more by being associated with Obama publicly and Reggie Love is there.

Here´s something of a bit more import:
WHO gave the orders to "Stand Down" during the Benghazi Massacre, and WHY?
Too difficult a subject for "American Journalists" it seems.

FTA: "By settling for the scoops he wanted them to have, they signaled that they were more lapdogs than watchdogs. They sold out for unrequited love."
By changing ´they´ to ´he´, the last line is so evident of the purpose of the ´golf trip´ that nothing need be added.

Good point, #9.
We have to stop thinking of the press corps and "journalists" as somehow different from LoFos. They are as clueless and vapid as the ignorant uneducated masses whose greatest interests lie not in hard work and real truth, but in the sensational and the shallow.
Conservatives have not only to find a way to educated or at least tolerate the ignorant masses, but to get them out of high places and to begin re-educating America.
It is clear both news-types and LoFos, of which there is almost a majority now, have no idea how the economy would prosper or how the culture would improve if allowed to. And that is why the rest of us need a strong, new, courageous leader. The others have failed us.

"What´s Reggie Love doing here?" and "Why are you playing golf with a certified horndog?" asks the ever vigilant Lucianne.Com Staff on this morning´s Homepage Must Read.
Good luck with getting the answers anytime soon. Dictators always conceal their private lives and true natures from the prying eyes of the masses. EXHIBIT "A": It was well after May, 1945, before the citizens of Deutschland, and the world, learned of Herr Schicklgruber´s ardent fervor for the young alluring Fraulein Eva Braun.

I wouldn´t want to be a journalist in todays world. I´ve heard of liberals just ignoring a conservative at work - making it quite miserable because they would all go out for lunch together and, because of politics, leave her out. There´s something broken. I have extremely liberal friends, we just don´t discuss politics at all. The press is all part of this - it took more than 40 years to fill the ranks of the school system with just liberals and the law schools to boot. Where are the watch dogs? Oh, wait, that only happens if there´s a Republican President.

I am always amazed — amazed — when anyone has the gall to dismiss, even laugh off, the suggestion that the right to keep and bear arms is a smart and necessary provision for a free society. Human history (not to mention current events!) is too chock-full of examples of nefarious regimes violently abusing and controlling their people, and the freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are the exception, not the rule.

My mouth dropped when I found out. A teardrop tattoo can mean he murdered someone. So I hired someone else. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists are seeing more and more people who want their tattoos removed, often because they worry that the tattoos could cause problems with employment.

Andrew Breitbart has become an iconic and beloved figure on the right, so it’s hard to imagine his eponymous empire could be in danger of losing conservative support just one year after his passing. But if recent events are a harbinger of things to come, that’s at least a possibility. It all started last October, when BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins penned a controversial piece, arguing the outlet was “plagued by an unusual degree of disorganization and rampant infighting…” The report might have been easily dismissed, had it not been soon revealed that Breitbart.com’s Dana Loesch was suing Breitbart.com

And now the last of them is gone. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul II—three who won the Cold War and, it isn´t too much to say, saved the West (at least for a while!)—are no longer with us. Their examples remain. They knew what they believed but also knew they had to justify their beliefs, and that one could adjust prudently to circumstances without yielding on principle. They stood firm when in power, and they took risks to get there, challenging the conventional wisdom and the respective establishments of their nations or institutions.

But after warning users on a forum that he would be armed and ready "20 minutes from now", one user called the FBI, who alerted police in England.

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

Mr. Samson has found what he says are perfect replicas of the French general´s gray overcoat, he has studied Napoleon´s native Corsican tongue and he has had himself crowned emperor of France, in a cathedral yet. In 2015, he wants to lead thousands of military enthusiasts into the ultimate re-enactment: the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium. But an American rival stands in his way.

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
