Ben Carson wrote that he was offered a West Point scholarship, and now he’s been challenged by a liberal group who say West Point has no records of that offer.

Carson’s campaign responded that as an ROTC youth, Carson attended a banquet and met several West Point officials who suggested he could get an appointment.

Politico is slamming Carson, trying to smear him as a liar…with a lying headline.

Their headline: “Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship”

But then, the story beneath their headline reads far differently. Carson’s aides have responded that Carson met West Point officials, and was offered the opportunity.

So an ‘admission of fabrication’ is a lie…by Politico. At best, Carson may have erred in noting an ‘offer’ as a scholarship ‘opportunity’, but politicians have done worse.

This is the same Politico who have NO PROBLEM giving Obama a pass for all the ‘composite’ girlfriends it was discovered he had created in his memoirs as real.

The same Politico gives Hillary a pass over her Benghazi lies where Americans died.

Carson may have embellished a West Point suggestion, but think about it…he was at a banquet with WP officials, and they could very well have made the suggestion.

Whereas it would be impossible for Obama to produce his composite girlfriends, and Hillary Clinton can no longer hide the damning emails that prove she lied.

Their double standard is breathtaking…but don’t expect a Politico apology…

…or an NAACP protesting an assault against a true icon of the black community…

…after all…Carson is a (horrors)…Republican.

An activist group will give a $5000 bounty to whoever disrupts Trump’s SNL skit.

A liberal Latino superPAC is offering $5000 for denouncing Trump as racist during his Saturday Night Live performance, and we know just the one to collect on it…

…Donald Trump.

While we aren’t big Trump fans, we’re even less fans of over-using the race card.

Just before the announcer says ‘Live from New York…’ Trump should run out on stage and start his ‘cold open’ with the declaration ‘Trump is a racist’…loudly…

…then demand the superPAC give him his cash before the close of the show.

Even better…Trump can then offer to prove he’s a racist, by finding (specifically) a young single Hispanic mom in the crowd…and give her that $5000.

Brash? Bold? Challenging? You bet…after all…

…that’s ‘The Donald’ we all know.

Prescription drug prices are spiking because of Obamacare (as opponents of that legislation predicted, way back when) yet Democrats want to know why?

Do they have mirrors in the Capitol Hill restrooms? Democrats seeking answers on the rising cost of pharmaceutical prices need only look in the mirrors available.

Because, as everyone knows, Obamacare passed solely based on Democrat votes.

Remember? It passed without one GOP vote. They said drug costs would rise, and as predicted has gone up as warned, and there’s only Democrats to blame for that.

Republicans should welcome this fight with enthusiasm.

…and the joke’s on black Americans.

New polling indicates Ben Carson can pull some black voters away from Democrats and that could spell great news for Republicans if he gets to run against Hillary.

Incredibly, Hillary still polls over 80% with black Americans.

How is that possible for a crooked politician of her caliber?

70% of black Americans are in middle- or upper-class income brackets. It begs the question how such a successful demographic group continues to reject the GOP.

Democrats are the party of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, and Bull Connor. As a Party they fought against the Civil Rights Act, with Senator (KKK wizard) Robert Byrd.

Martin Luther King was a Republican.

The Republican Party was founded as an anti-slavery Party, Lincoln was the first Republican president, and Republicans forced passage of the Civil Rights Act.

Democrat policy has devastated the black family, driven unemployment sky high, expanded income inequality, and forced millions more down into poverty level.

Yet a black Republican like Ben Carson gets only 19% of black voters polled?

Democrats have demonized Republicans to the point where, even with all the truths given above, black voters remain in lock-step with the Party that oppresses them.

Sad. Very sad.

Obama’s trashing GOP candidates because of the CNBC debacle?

First and foremost, the candidates masterfully threw down on CNBC chicanery.

More importantly, Obama forgets the real chickens are Obama and Democrats, who ran away from a Fox News debate some years ago…and still avoid Fox today. 

It was Obama who couldn’t face Fox moderators (at all) then…

…and Obama who can’t face Putin, Iran’s mullahs, and Assad now.

Bill Gates says private enterprise is ineffective; government is where it’s at.

Nope.

Private R-&-D developed today’s innovations, and sure, some with the assistance of federal funds, but even that funding came from…private enterprise-sourced taxes.

And, from nuclear bombs to i-Phones, private enterprise developed the innovations.

There’s a big difference between being ‘the money guy’, and being ‘the innovator’.

Does Gates really believe Microsoft can be run better by the government? Doubtful.

But if Gates plans to plunge $2 billion in green energy, he wants a big payday. And the way to make that happen is to get our tax-dollars to make sure it profits him.

During an interview where he was asked how to push a green agenda when our DC politicians couldn’t even agree there was global warming, he said “If you’re not bringing math skills to the problem, then representative democracy is a problem.”

Sorry Bill…

it wasn’t math skills that changed recent temperature data to make warming ‘real’…

…it was D-E-C-E-I-T.

More accurately, government deceit at NOAA, where recorded satellite temperature numbers were adjusted higher overnight, to fit a narrative supporting Obama’s plan.

(And we’re wondering how recorded Antarctic ice growth fits a warming narrative?)

If Bill Gates doesn’t know the difference between math skills and deception…

…then a lot of his investors should look v-e-r-y close at Microsoft stock valuations. 

When deceit is necessary to push an agenda…there’s something wrong.

Bill, if you’re not bringing factual integrity to the problem, then YOU are the problem.

Representative democracy works fine, until rentseekers like you troll for subsidies.

In an earlier post, we suggested if Bill Gates embraces Socialism, he can prove it very easily by turning over his assets and company to Obama.

Of course he’s not going to give up his gazillions, or Microsoft…he wants others to sacrifice, but you can guaran-damn-tee he’s not going to do that himself.

His inane statements are no more sincere than Warren Buffett or George Soros pushing for a higher income tax rate, implying they don’t mind paying higher taxes.

But billionaires don’t make their money from job ‘income’…they don’t pay income tax. Any tax they pay is at a lower rate, generally an investment or cap gains tax.

That’s why they love standing in front of news cameras, encouraging income taxes.

By the way, Democrat politicians know this, but play along to make voters think that they are the champions of the middle-class…the very ones hit hardest by tax hikes.

So next time you see Obama with his hand around Buffet’s shoulder while calling for higher income tax rates, and they’re both smiling, remember this important tip…

…this VERY important tip…

…the (higher income tax) joke is ON YOU.

LITERALLY.

Bill Gates says he believes only Socialism can save us.

He can prove it…by turning over his fortune and company to Obama…

…since that form of government owns and controls all industries and businesses.

John F Kennedy sent ‘advisors’ to Vietnam, refusing to call it ‘combat’.

Fast forward to current day, where our SpecOps force in Syria ‘aren’t in combat’.

At least, according to this White House.

But the bullet or RPG missile aimed their way doesn’t speak ‘Obama-nese’.

So what else is new? Another Democrat non-war, another day.

Just once it’d be nice to see this ‘Noncombatant-in-Chief’ standing beside them, if for no other reason, to drive home the need for the right ‘rules-of-engagement’.

But, failing that, let’s hope they’re allowed to improvise…SpecOps style.

Weekly Standard headline: “Clinton Made Time For Donors At State Department”

Cash = access. Maybe Hillary would have made time for Amb. Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, and Tyrone Woods if they had been heavy donors?

Need better security in Benghazi? Just donate millions to the Clinton Foundation.

Democrats must be so proud…
