Barack Hussein Obama: Jihad's Enabler..............by Dan Friedman
Whether you believe it’s calculated or not, it’s indisputable that after only two years into Obama’s first term Jihadists are on the offensive within every theater they operate.
Godfather of Islamic Revolution?
Column One: As the lies come crashing down
Quit smoking.............from Rico
OK, so the Chris 'tingly legs' Mathews media is atwitter that Michelle says Barry has QUIT SMOKING!
Maybe he has laid-off the ciggies...but his recent fantasy about being another Reagan convinces me that he's smoking some VERY high-quality dope.
What a dumbass!
Quit smoking DOPE Barry, we can survive you smoking tobacco...........
Prelude to.....from Rico
Incredibly, this just in from NOT the WSJ but the NYT!
27% of Americans have NO personal savings.
34% of Americans have NO retirement savings.
Of course, many are buried under bad and underwater home loans, pensions no longer exist, and unemployment (the 'real' number, not the unicorn & skittles 'official' number) rages. Nonetheless...
- is this bad money management or ignorance?
We are seeing the middle-class's Stalingrad today, will it be a prelude to their Kursk?
VIDEO: Rep. Allen West Keynote Speech at CPAC
At Marathon Pundit, "Allen West closes out CPAC, calls for "The dawn of a New America." And previously, a photo opportunity with Congressman West. A very nice man, and a privilege to meet him.

Ron Paul at CPAC
I'm hardly a fan of Ron Paul, but no doubt he's a top CPAC newsmaker.
The Hill has a report, "Ron Paul slams Patriot Act, backers drown out jeers at conference." And the big theme at USA Today, "Ron Paul: U.S. ‘propped up’ Mubarak in Egypt." (Via Memeorandum.)
In any case, listen to it. The guy's a crank, IMHO. And from the comments at Gateway Pundit: When will this guy just go away? His looney followers are what make me hate the guy. They are worse than Obamabots.
Well, his loony followers make it easier to hate the guy, but Ron Paul's a clown all by himself.
BONUS: More coverage, with a lovely photograph of Mary Katharine and myself: "Mary Katharine Ham Covers Mitch Daniels' Speech at CPAC."
More hot coverage throughout the night ...
Signs of "recovery"..........from Rico
This cartoon nicely illustrates the disconnect between the MOP (management of perception) recovery 'stronzata' emanating from inside the D.C. Beltway via FTV and the MSM
............and the rest of the country where brutal unemployment still rules the day.
Welcome to reality!
The larger 'joke' is that JP Morgan makes money every time someone is added to Food Stamps, since they are the contractor to the Gov't. They surely don't 'need' the extra help after all the free bailout money Benyamin & Co made sure to 'transfer' from your pockets to theirs!

Destroying the Middle Class..............from Rico
Two of the pillars of the Middle Class in America are [1] real estate (home ownership) and [2] retirement savings (the IRA/401K).
- We won't talk about that other pillar...having a JOB, because we all know perfectly well what the unemployment picture truly is (low 20-percent) as opposed to the bogus [read: offishul] numbers being openly reported to us of 9-percent.
[1] Real estate.
- Zillow says the current price situation [read: drop] puts 27-percent of U.S. homeowners underwater.
[2] Equities.
- If you still have an IRA or 401K it looks more like a 104K.
- Sure, the S&P 500 is UP 36-percent since Oct 2008, but the Zimbabwe stock exchange made a LOT of billionaires before anyone 'noticed' that it took a few billion just to buy eggs or ride the bus and shortly thereafter trillion dollar notes didn't buy anything and were replaced by 100 trilion dollar notes which have since become worthless for anything but a conversation piece [I keep one on the wall of my office as a reminder of (a) what is happening to the S&P 500 courtesy of (b) the ever-diminsihing US Dollar].
BUT, because I have been called a "sour puss" and slightly negative IVO our current economic debacle, let's look at the glass as half-full here and discuss the one bright spot...precious metals!
- Gold [GLD] is UP 80-percent from Oct 2008.
- Silver [SLV] is UP 200-percent from Oct 2008.
I'll save the discussion of GLD and SLV being paper bullion* for another time, and just say here that there is a huge counterparty/thirdparty 'risk' inherent in these shares since they are fractional or unbacked by any physical bullion.
- If you don't hold any physical bullion you can expect that one day you will be paid in paper US Dollars for your paper bullion. Yep! You are really holding a handfull of Zimbabwe Dollars and you don't even know it!
*The curious might find the trustee of these i-Shares accounts to be of significant interest to them. I don't trust these guys (they are market-manipulators and crooks), but you can decide for yourselves.
- For MY money, the Canadian Eric Sprott [read: PHYS, PSLV] is the "real deal" and a damned sight more reliable and honest than the custodian of GLD or SLV!
Ann Coulter!
Been a big day!
Here's the lovely Ann Coulter:

A Prediction for Egypt
In ten years--or less--Egyptians will look back at the Mubarak regime as "the good old days."
Only the military can save Egypt from becoming the next Iran.
