The Washington Examiner spanks a national media’s non-reporting of the EPA’s outrageously overstated claims regarding the benefits of driving coal out of existence.

A left-leaning Brookings Institution study found the EPA was claiming benefits of 5x-15x what would actually be realized by forcing (impossible) carbon dioxide emission limits.

Why?

Because the real ‘benefits’ wouldn’t cover the estimated compliance cost of the rule!

Once more: if deceptive means are needed to make a point…what’s the point? An Obama-led agency lies to justify questionable policy? Naah, say it ain’t so.

Iraq’s going up in flames, al-Qaeda’s metasticizing…but Obama’s laser-focused…

…on America’s real enemy…coal?

Maybe someone should remind him it wasn’t coal that brought down the Twin Towers.

(And someone should remind the average citizen how their wallet will be affected.)

Sticking up for the little guy, the GOP House has a hearing set for Thursday, to try and stop Obama’s promised energy cost skyrocket from becoming ‘necessary’…

…by exposing the EPA’s overblown hype (we thought ‘lie’ too mean-spirited).

Will the national media attend?

Because, you know, it’s impossible to awaken those who fake being asleep.

Love him or hate him, former VP Dick Cheney knows how to strip skin from flesh.

We only wish there were more like him in the Republican Party.

Today, with daughter Liz, he slashes through Obama’s failings against al-Qaeda, seen as the major security threat America – and the world – faces over the coming years.

The pull quote: “American freedom will not be secured by empty threats, meaningless red lines, leading from behind, appeasing our enemies, abandoning our allies, or apologizing for our great nation – all hallmark to date of the Obama doctrine.”

With his Secretary of State, this president has enabled al-Qaeda’s evil growth, beyond anything Bill Clinton’s failures of the ’90’s yielded. We can only pray intel keeps us safe.

If only VP Cheney were Darth Vader…but…

…even then, something tells us it will take more than the Force for protection next time.

Politically correct meddlers are at it again…

…the feds canceled the NFL Washington Redskins trademark registrations, by citing a federal law against ‘disparaging or offensive language’.

Chess fans are getting nervous…all white & black chess-pieces may need to be gray.

(After all, wouldn’t it be ‘offensive’ to have a white knight take a black queen?)

And the Hindu population may consider the Major League Baseball Cleveland Indians ‘disparaging’, since they don’t differentiate from ‘East Indian’.

(We’re surprised there’s no uproar over that logo…did Indians ever smile that way? Have Harry Reid’s PC police even bothered to check in with the logic police on this?)

Where will it end?

Black Magic leather conditioner and White Rain kid’s shampoo could be next.

Whatever. We suggest the logical new name for the Redskins should be…

…the Washington Thinskins…

…named for those who wept crocodile tears over the indignity of making a Redskin look so damn…proud. (Note to owners…maybe, make your next logo a grinning fool?)

BlueCollar suggests the logo insert a leering Harry Reid with feather, just to be safe.

Seriously? Almost 2 years after the Benghazi attacks that left 4 Americans dead…

…(because the ‘Campaigner-in-Chief’ was too busy prepping for a Las Vegas fund-raising stop just before the elections to oversee their defense or rescue)…

…now, just months before elections, suddenly a Benghazi planner has been captured?

Who was openly sitting in a hotel lobby just days after the attack, bragging about it?

Can anyone be blamed for cynically thinking he’s a) been held for some time now…

…b) not really in captivity at all, or…c) they could’ve got him anytime, but orchestrated the capture timing to maximize pre-election euphoria from dumbed-down voters?

Who believes it takes American forces 21 months to pick up a terrorist braggart sitting in a Libyan hotel lobby ‘sipping a strawberry frappe’ and openly daring us to get him?

Anyone…anyone…?

The only question here is why Democrats didn’t wait…and make it an October Surprise.

(Is the answer in…the polling?)

More emails to and from others involved in the IRS scandal have ‘lost’ emails too.

Here’s an idea for tax dodgers…

…tell the IRS next April 15 that Lois Lerner awarded you tax-exempt status…

…BY EMAIL…which suddenly seems to have been erased. (NSA high-jinks, maybe?)

(Hey, if she can’t be held accountable now…why should you be held accountable?)

Friday, before his (fill in the number) round of golf, Obama spoke on Iraq.

Paraphrasing, ‘…any action the U.S. takes must accompany a serious effort by Iraqi leaders to set aside (wait for it) sectarian differences…so everyone can get along.’

Incredibly, the ‘Equivocator-in-Chief’ defines beheading and mass executions…

…as ‘sectarian differences’.

Equating mass murder with ‘sectarian differences’ is, at best, unparalleled ambiguity.

To any sane human, sectarian differences are worked out by theological debates, or forming a new religious sect…but radical Muslims seem to have a different approach.

(I.e.; Catholics pray to saints – Protestants don’t…nobody dies as a result. Shia Muslims believe in Ali as sacred cousin of Mohammed, Sunnis don’t…MASS MURDER results!)

To ‘equivocate’ means: “to use ambiguous or unclear expressions, usually to avoid commitment or in order to mislead; prevaricate or hedge.”

One can encourage a theological debate to resolve contemporary disagreements on religious matters…not so, with AK-47 wielding grenade-launcher terrorists.

Sadly, Obama doesn’t see the snag..and a fawning media won’t make him see it.

And, very sadly, NOTHING could define this president more appropriately….

…all hail, the ‘Equivocator-in-Chief’.

America has reasonable laws already, regarding immigration.

But the Party controlling the Senate and White House refuses to enforce them, choosing instead to manipulate the situation, trying to gain more of the Hispanic vote.

Vote them out. A large American majority want existing laws enforced FIRST.

Between now and November elections, the GOP message should be…

“REAL immigration reform? Vote Republican…we’ll enforce laws they won’t.”

THAT’S real immigration reform.

Lawyers must provide legal aid for criminals…but do they need to laugh about it?

And if they use loopholes and tricks to get a (believed guilty) child-rapist off lightly…

…wouldn’t that be considered a war on little girls?

A Washington Examiner op-ed makes the case that interviews with illegal immigrants destroy any attempts by the White House to deflect blame for the border chaos.

Top administration officials tried blaming horrible 3rd-world conditions for the influx.

Republicans had blamed Obama’s DACA ‘young age decree’ as motivating the young of those nations to make the journey, since it gave those youth a ‘welcome in’ sign.

The article notes illegals interviewed cited a belief they wouldn’t be turned away as reason enough to make the 1300 mile trek from Central America to the U.S., which puts the cause for this overwhelming human flow squarely back on administration policy.

But there was another indicator that did that, as this whole movement started…

…Mexico allowed them through their southern border!

As noted previously, Mexico has a pretty brutal Central America border policy, that can be very easily summed up in four words – STOP.OR.WE’LL.SHOOT!

Scathing articles have been written of Mexican hypocrisy that criticized America for not welcoming Mexican illegals, when its Central America policy brutalized illegal entrants.

What would convince Mexico to suddenly allow tens of thousands of illegals through their southern border…after decades of brutal, unflinching denial for entry?

It’s 1200+ miles from Mexico’s Central American border to their American border. Who in their right mind wouldn’t realize a backroom deal was made to allow that journey?

And, why NOW? That’s the easy part…

There’s a brutal November election reality heading the Democrat way. They will do anything to change an Obamacare-VA-IRS-NSA narrative, and save political hides.

And if that includes using illegal immigrant children to do it…so be it.

We don’t need interviews or ‘anecdotal reports’ to tell us what we already knew…

The only reform our immigration policy needs is for the White House to ENFORCE IT!

Only a Democrat can get away with wearing leather to a wildlife conservation gala. If it were Sarah Palin, the media would have shredded her for such insensitivity.

At the risk of being judged unkind, Chelsea always seemed a little lethargic…

…and now, leather…at a wildlife conservation gala? Talk about clueless!

(Drudge ran Chelsea’s photo in the outfit above a caption regarding her NBC pay, and missed the ongoing irony of the media glossing over a glaring Democrat impropriety.)

Hey, when you’re able to notch ‘Clinton’ as your maiden name, and bring down $26,724 PER MINUTE working for the networks, guess you can get away with anything.

(The ‘wildlife’ sacrificed to make her outfit was, of course, not available for comment.)

It tells you all you need to know about Chelsea…NOT the sharpest pencil in the box.

And proves, again, how the media gives one Party a free pass…
