It’s Monday, January 19th, 2015…and here’s The Gouge!

First up, see if you can connect these dots:

Majority of U.S. public school students are in poverty

 

Census: More first-time mothers give birth out of wedlock

 

The brain trust at The WaPo couldn’t figure it out; or perhaps they were simply unwilling to let facts confuse their feelings.  Here’s a hint:

Yet despite 50 years of free food, shelter, education cell phones and, most imprudently, money, none of which required any labor or standards of personal conduct on the part of the recipients, Liberals say the solution to the problem is…more money!!!

Seriously, prior to the Great Society and Progressives’ decimation of the American family, can anyone ever recall any act remotely similar to this occurring in our country?

Mother Charged With Burning Newborn Baby To Death In Burlington County

 

pemberton-mom

A young South Jersey mother is in jail, charged with the burning death of her newborn baby Friday night. Authorities say 22-year-old Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier of Pemberton, Burlington County doused her newborn baby with a flammable liquid then set the child on fire. She then sat, crying in a car nearby, watching her baby burn in the street.

Under the laws of New Jersey, this is a crime…at least for now.  But in the Bizarro World of modern Liberalism, had young Hyphernkemberly visited nearby Philadelphia only a short time before, she could have delivered her baby and had a practicing physician

…do the rest of the job for her, quick and easy…and with a lot less pain and torment for her innocent infant.

It bears repeating at the time of the Gosnell trial White House spokesperson Jay Carney said The Dear Misleader couldn’t comment on the case because he “cannot take a position on an ongoing trial” or “comment further on an ongoing legal proceeding”.  None of which stopped him from airing his uninformed opinions on the actions of the Cambridge police with his soul brother Louis Gates, observing how, if’n he’d had a son, he’d have looked like Trayvon Martin, or convicting Darren Clark of murdering Michael Brown without any clue whatsoever as to the facts of the case!

But we digress.  The point is, young Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier of Pemberton, Burlington County is the poster child for Progressive progress, a product of both an increasingly underperforming education system functioning only to provide union jobs and Dimocratic campaign funds, and a welfare system which dooms participants to perpetual poverty.

And The Left blames the results on anyone or anything but the actual causes: their own perverted policies and the decisions, judgment and actions of those whose lives they’ve destroyed.

Which is why, as this next item from The Boss details, when it comes to Islamic terror, The Obamao finds the root of the problem anywhere but where it actually lies:

Obama: Europe should better integrate Muslims

“…At a White House news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron, his first foreign guest since last week’s Charlie Hebdo massacre, Obama said the allies would stand by France. But he also warned that the answer to the recent violence must not simply be a security crackdown.

Obama said the Paris attacks “underscored how terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIL (ISIS) are actively trying to inspire and support people within our own countries to engage in terrorism.” The US leader said the 2013 Boston marathon bombing showed that the United States was not entirely safe from Islamic militant cells, but suggested that it had had more success than others in integrating minorities. Our biggest advantage, major, is that our Muslim populations feel themselves to be Americans and there is this incredible process of immigration and assimilation that is part of our tradition,” he said.

There are parts of Europe in which that’s not the caseit’s important for Europe not to simply respond with a hammer and law enforcement and military approaches to these problems.” And he added: “There also has to be a recognition that the stronger the ties of a North African or a Frenchman of North African descent to French liberties, that’s going to be important over time.”…”

In other words, it’s THEIR fault…

After all, giving their Islamic immigrants free food, free clothing, free homes and a free education just isn’t enough!  Perhaps if the French were to hand out free cell phones…?!?

Sure as hell hasn’t worked in this country!

In a related item, courtesy of NRO, Jonah Goldberg offers his observations as to why the undeniable existence of radical Islam is…

The Conversation Obama Doesn’t Want to Have

The White House seems to think its denial of radical Islam will stop people from believing the obvious.

 

ObamaIslamTrojanHorse

“…The Obama administration seems to believe that the wonder-working power of their words can get everyone to stop believing their lying eyes and ears. It’s tempting to ask, “How stupid do they think we are?” But the more relevant question is, “How stupid do they think the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims are?” Whatever appeal the Islamic State may or may not have in the larger Muslim world, Barack Obama insisting “it is not Islamic” surely makes no difference whatsoever. And as for the jihadists, it’s not like his words speak louder than his drone strikes.

It’s true that the Obama administration has had remarkable success playing word games. They “created or saved” millions of jobs — as if that was a real economic metric. (For what it’s worth, I do or save 500 pushups every morning). They decimated “core al-Qaeda,” with the tautological definition of “core al-Qaeda” being “the parts of al-Qaeda that we have decimated.”

But this is different. Those distortions were political buzzphrases intended for domestic consumption and a re-election campaign. This is a much bigger deal. The threat of Islamic extremism transcends Obama’s theological hubris and lexicological shenanigans. All that Obama’s insipid rhetorical gamesmanship does is send the signal to friend and foe alike that he can’t or won’t see the problem for what it is…”

But as NRO‘s Andrew McCarthy indirectly notes, and believe us, we’d prefer Jonah were right, Goldberg’s position assumes the man we believe to be a true Manchurian candidate actually thinks like the majority of sane Americans:

I’m Glad Obama Skipped Paris

He doesn’t really believe in protecting speech critical of Islam.

 

future-must-not-belong-to-those-who-slander-prophet-islam-mohammad-barack-hussein-obama-muslim

Unlike many conservatives, I was not outraged when President Obama directed the Justice Department to end the pretense of “defending” the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). I feel the same way about the president’s decision not to join dozens of world leaders in Paris last Sunday to march in favor of free speech and against Islamic-supremacist terror. I’m glad he stayed home. I’m glad he didn’t send Vice President Biden (whose main job is to attend such exhibitions), Secretary of State Kerry (whose main job escapes me), or Attorney General Holder (who was in Paris but still didn’t go).

It’s not too often that the “most transparent administration in history” is, what’s the word? . . . transparent.

To be sure, in the immediate time frame of these decisions, Obama was moved more by frivolity than by principle. On DOMA, he needed to make a gesture to well-heeled donors on the left who, in their frustration over the president’s too-slow “evolution” on gay marriage, were withholding campaign cash. As for Paris, I suspect Obama wanted to watch the pro-football playoffs (which is why —  shades of Benghazi! — the White House refused to reveal what the Leader From Behind Of The Free World was doing in lieu of attending the free world’s march).

Nevertheless, even if the two decisions were not made for noble reasons, they represented Obama’s true positions. It is important that we know where the president stands.

Yup…

But as Victor Davis Hanson, this refusal to recognize the true nature of Islamic terror isn’t new; it’s been a policy of this Administration from Day 1:

Confederacy of Dunces?

From the president on down, they are in resolute denial about radical Islam.

 

ISIL-IS-NOt-Ialamic

“…In the politically correct administration worldview the Islamic State is not Islamic. The Muslim Brotherhood is secular and to be welcomed into office. A caliphate is absurd. Terrorism is really just workplace violence and man-caused disasters, and it can be dealt with by overseas contingency operations. Right-wing videos and ad hoc demonstrations are the real dangers to our consulates. The Canadian border is as dangerously porous as the Mexican border. Right-wing terrorists are more likely than Islamists to commit another 9/11 terrorist attack. In President Obama’s words, the result is that the world has never been calmer, or America safer.

Obama’s confederacy of intelligence, security, and diplomatic minds is aimed at denying that there is something called radical Islamic terrorism, a movement that has enlisted millions in its cause to destroy the West…”

Which begs the question…

Which brings us to today’s installment of the “MSM Bias…WHAT Bias?!?” segment, where Newsbusters.org reports…

NBC Hyped ‘Da Vinci Code,’ but ‘Charlie Hebdo’ Is Too Offensive

 

Not to mention Rachel Maddow had no qualms about featuring a photo of Piss Christ.  Nothing to see here folks…move along!

And in our latest installment of “Your Tax Dollars at Work”, as the Washington Examiner‘s Luke Rosiak tells us, the…

Patent office denies FOIA for busywork ‘history’ report given to paralegals

 

Government-Employee

“Law clerks at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office did almost no work for years on end, and when managers learned that an investigation into the idleness was underway, they were assigned busywork like writing a “history” report on the agency. But the history was never published, and the agency appears to be so embarrassed about the debacle now that officials refused Thursday to release the report under a Freedom of Information Act request by the Washington Examiner.

A July 2014 investigation by the Commerce Department’s Inspector General found that dozens of paralegals making $60,000 to $80,000 a year had been openly doing nothing since 2010. Their supervisors even instructed them to fill out timecards for “Other Time” instead of categories indicating they had done work. They were allowed to “work” from home and they got performance bonuses of up to $3,500 each.

“OIG asked members of PTAB management whether they considered laying off Paralegal Specialists,” but they didn’t because of “all the union issues,” the report said.

After three paralegals blew the whistle and managers became aware that an investigation was underway, they tried to come up with busywork, and “some Paralegal Specialists were assigned to a project writing an article on the history of the PTAB,” it noted.”

Hey, another day, another dollar; YOUR dollar…and untold trillions like it!

Turning now to the Lighter Side…

Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with yet another Sign The Apocalypse Is Upon Us: 

Woman plans to marry her father after two years of dating

 

dumb-and-dumberer-script-almost-done__oPt

“An teenage revealed in an interview that she plans to marry her father and have children after dating for two years. After the wedding, the woman says they plan to move to New Jersey where adult incest is legal

Oh…and she wants to have children!  Two thoughts: first, “an teenage revealed…”?!?; great grammar.  Second, pure Jersey!

Magoo
