Kamal loves to lie

X called her out for her latest fake news lie:

Full gamut: Democrats lie, cheat and steal from Trump

If you can't win at the ballot box, steal your opponent's assets.  That's the latest approach Democrats are taking to beat Trump's reelection bid. There is no low to which they will not sink to defeat not only Trump, but real democracy.

Disproving my last post

 The video in my last post contained a video of a state department statement that was clearly, clearly a lie.

I agree with Tim's point that the U.S. should have kept Bagram air force base as part of the withdrawal plan. It would have smoothed the transition out a lot. The problem was the revised plan was not a plan.  

Roger Stone was pressured by Mueller team to lie about president Trump

Sadly, this is not unbelievable.  There are a lot of revelations in the recent Hannity interview but top among them are the pressure on Stone to lie and that Stone believes he could have proven that Russia never hacked the DNC.

Saturday Learning Series - Palestinian Lie

A video from a few years back about the Palestinian Lie.

Israeli-Palestinian history in under 12 minutes

Encounter Books has a number of videos worth watching.  Unfortunately they've disabled embedding here, or else I'd share it with you directly. Debunking the Palestinian lie is a must see history of the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian situation.  In 11 and 1/2  minutes you can why Israel deserves American (and others') support.  Please check out the link and watch the entire video.  It will be eye opening.  It focuses strictly on the history and the facts, many of which most people aren't aware.

2011 year in pictures

Instead of doing a top 10 list, this year I thought I'd do a year in pictures. Below is the political year in pictures, but it's not without some context available. Click the images to read details on the scandalous stories.

Note that these are in no particular order.

Plain awful.

Coming  home to roost.

Hundreds of millions up in green smoke.

Weiner: Used to be a mouthpiece. Add your own punchline.

WTF?  Making Weiner look normal.

Boeing being beaten down by Obama.

Barney Frank retires, finally.

What?  Another Obama scandal?  Yep.

Democrats score biggest lie of 2011 - from a liberal organization.

And finally, there's complicity to consider.  That's probably the biggest scandal of the year - again.

Media bias isn't cool.

Lie of the year goes to the Democrats. BUT...

The clearly left-leaning Politifact announced what it sees as the Lie of The Year for 2011.  It turns out the Democrats claim that Republicans voted to end Medicare is a big fat lie. I guess Politifact is trying to remain relevant and appear unbiased.  Too little, too late.  Besides, liberals already are lambasting the decision as well, wrong.

From the L.A. Times, there was this, followed by a reminder that the last two lies belonged to Republicans;

Is the 'Lie of the Year' about ending Medicare actually true?

Oh, okay.  The liberal lie hasn't just collapsed, somebody had a random attack of honesty in the liberal media and it will surely be nipped in the bud.  The L.A. Times notes the quick and unfriendly reactions from the left.

Paul Ryan, expect no apologies.

Link love

So I'm working 14-16 hours a day lately and my blog is suffering.  Trust me, I'm not complaining - I'm working.  Until I'm back to normal, check out these quality posts elsewhere:

Obamanomics - where food stamps equal economic boon.

Unions = people?  Corporations = people!

The bigger the lie, the more people you fool.

The Black Caucus is losing patience with Mr. O.

Libertarian dystopia?

Perry can't win, Romney can.

Romney can't win, Perry can.

Nobody can win, except Sarah Palin.

Nobody can win but Newt Gingrich.  No link?  Oh wait, he'll have the Hawaii vote.

Always end with a chuckle.

Dodd - blood in the water

I had started writing a blog post entitled "Dodd-ering denial" yesterday with the line:

"Senator Chris Dodd; deny, deny, deny. When you talk Senator, you keep digging the hole."

I didn't finish the post and thought I'd pick up on it today. Little did I realize I'd have to re-write the entire post except for that line. It's relevant because the Senator has backtracked and is now openly admitting that he added a bonus provision. Even CNN went so far as to call Senator Dodd a liar. CNN. Now they took down the video but it's available on Youtube (H/T Hot Air)



His answers were long and torturous to listen to, probably partly because he's a windbag and partly because he's trying to obfuscate.

Previously I would have viewed this as an Obama administration distraction but there's blood in the water and the sharks need to consume this piece of chum. Dodd himself is trying to blame the administration for forcing the issue. He needs to be pressed on it and pressed HARD. Either he's at fault, the administration is at fault or both are. In either case those who have the means to ask have the responsibility to find out where the fault lies. If Dodd is made out to be the fall guy, my suspicion is he will try to save his own skin and let loose on Geithner.

And if the dirt starts to fly, there will be casualties. As there should be. This may be a distraction tactic, or turned into one- particularly if they try to lay all of the blame at the feet of Dodd. But for conservatives even if Dodd is the only casualty, it's a big win. But it seems to me this would be a foothold to go after more - Barney Frank comes to mind, along with Geithner. Perhaps the trail will be strong enough to lead back to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Not to mention the idea of bills being passed by Congress and signed into law with undue haste being a black mark on Democrats and the administration. Perhaps it can put the brakes on all the "change" without deliberation.

They stopped President Bush's social security reform, we can stop a health care boondoggle (again).
