Kim Kardashian Busts One for Mandela

NEWSLO / LOS ANGELES – Television personality Kim Kardashian today commemorated the death of Nelson Mandela by tweeting a “selfie” featuring herself posing with a picture of the former iconic South African president and activist.

Kardashian, present baby momma of rapper Kanye West explained that she was “representin’” and would “pour one out” for Mandela, her “BFF [best friend forever].”

“Never met NM,” Kardashian tweeted. “But were a kindred spirit . We both dedicated our lives to makin’ this a better world.”

Kardashian, reached for comment, explained that “Mandela worked against racism and whatnot, whereas I’ve introduced four different perfume fragrances, which has most definitely made the world smell better, at least. Want ta smell me?"

In the hours following Mandela’s death, the internet was awash with “selfies” featuring celebrities posing with the former president—a form of tribute that experts say would have “totally freaking confused” Mandela, who was 95 years old.

“Nelson, you were the cutest!” tweeted Miley Cyrus with her own selfie. “God bless you for freeing all the slaves.”

Obama Gives Insight into Post White House Plans

The Hollywood Reporter
"If you have any doubt as to how much of a sports junkie Barack Obama is, check in with the entertainment moguls who attended a private briefing with the president Nov. 26 before his speech at Jeffrey Katzenberg's DreamWorks Animation campus in Glendale.
At the end of the conversation -- which touched on a myriad of topics, from piracy to Iran -- Obama revealed what's at the top of his bucket list post-White House: 
"At least I know what I want to do when I retire … host ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 list," Obama quipped as he turned to Disney's Robert Iger, whose empire includes ESPN."

Other than having a good laugh, Iger apparently didn't respond....."

I think that could work, after all, Barack has wowed the country with his teleprompter skills and we all know TV jocks rely heavily on teleprompters (you know, all those blows to the head thing). And sometimes he does come across like a cheesy games show host. I think there might be a future there.

I say more power to him, it can't come to soon for me. But somehow I envisioned Barack's post-White House years more like this:

The Leftist New Mantra

"Mr. Obama’s problem now is that people think he is smart. 
They think, as they look at his health-care vows, that either he didn’t know how bad his program was, what dislocations it would cause, what a disturbance it would be to the vast middle class of America . . .
Or he knew, and deliberately misled everyone.
If they thought he wasn’t very bright, they might give him some leeway on that question. But they think he’s really smart.
So they think he knew.  And deliberately misled." - Peggy Noonan/ WSJ

Joe Does Asia

The Vice President's trip comes at an important time for the country and therefore it makes him that more relevant *cough* and reminds Americans of his longtime role in
the Senate and his extensive experience with foreign policy.

 Stepping off his plane in Beijing in his signature aviator sunglasses, Biden was met by
a Chinese military honor guard before being whisked to the U.S. Embassy
(CNN) - Vice President Joe Biden faces a very delicate task this week as he makes a diplomatic visit to East Asia in hopes of turning down the volume on an increasingly noisy territorial tug of war.
The spotlight also provides Biden with an opportunity to remind people why Barack Obama chose him as his running mate and to tout his strong suit as he's mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2016.
"This trip, if nothing else, reinforces the notion of why Joe Biden was put on the ticket in the first place and has emerged as one of the best vice presidents in history," Larry Rasky, a longtime senior political adviser to the Democrat, told CNN. "He was equipped for this job before he got there. He's not going to China for that reason, of course, but it certainly doesn't hurt."
"It's definitely his wheelhouse. He has the relationships, the global credibility. There's no on-the-job training necessary."

While Welfare Skyrockets - Military Families Face Services Cut

First they try to disenfranchise them as voters, now they threaten to cut one of the most valuable benefits military families receive.
BARKSDALE AFB, LA - The Office of the Secretary of Defense confirms that the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has been asked to prepare a draft plan for closing all 178 commissaries in the United States to be presented possibly as part of the fiscal 2015 budget request. 
According to published reports, the Joint Staff asked DeCA to look at cutting its $1.4 billion dollar annual budget by at least a third. According to DeCA Director Joseph Jeu, the agency has already trimmed its budget by $7 million over the last 20 years. To make the additional cuts, DeCA has been asked to draft the proposal that would close all stateside commissaries. According to Pentagon Spokesman Col. Steve Warren, "The Secretary of Defense has made it clear on numerous occasions that all cost-cutting efforts need to be on the table in order for the Department of Defense to meet the spending caps associated with the 2011 Budget Control Act."
At this time, no final decisions have been made on the Department of Defense's fiscal year 2015 budget submission.  Therefore, it would be inappropriate to discuss any specific budget decisions." Although that budget request is due in February, it would be at least a year before such cuts could be implemented.
There are many ways of bringing the federal budget into line without punishing the military personal and the families that support them in their mission to keep the country save. One way is to freeze and cap all elected federal employee's salaries. (In 1960, JFK earned 125,000 as president, which he refused to accept. Barack Obama receives $400,000 a year plus 50,000 pocket money). 

The men and women who serve in the military, many who make just enough not to qualify for food stamps are in the crosshairs for cuts.  Because of no profit margin to meet, commissary food prices are at or about 30% cheaper then in the private sector.

Next time you see a service man or women and their families who may soon lose the benefits they earn as servants, remember this:

I Think We Know Why They Sealed His School Records......


The Next Commie Movement - 'Wage Justice'

By Kelly Irons
"How do you know when a movement reeks of communism? Easy - it is supported by a major American union.
The Service Employees International Union, filled with some of the most vile, Left-wing thugs around, is one of the major players behind a ridiculous push to kill the only employment millions of Americans can find while raising the price of cheeseburgers to ten bucks.
On Thursday, according to reports, the SEIU and other groups will sponsor or support hundreds of protests in cities around the country aimed at forcing the fast-food industry to increase workers' wages to $15. The New York Times reports:
Seeking to increase pressure on McDonald’s, Wendy’s and other fast-food restaurants, organizers of a movement demanding a $15-an-hour wage for fast-food workers say they will sponsor one-day strikes in 100 cities on Thursday and protest activities in 100 additional cities. The fast-food effort is backed by the Service Employees International Union and is also demanding that restaurants allow workers to unionize without the threat of retaliation.
"As part of its stealth campaign to support this latest push for "wage justice," the Times picked, right on cue, a 23-year-old interviewee with a Hispanic-sounding name to illustrate the travesty of it all..."

On second thought, just think of the possibilities.....

ObamaCare Should Just Work Fine....by 2017.

Former Lead Obamabot, David 'Poof-Daddy' Plouffe, was sent out to lower ObamaCare expectation even further Sunday, and do some damage control and lay some groundwork for the excuses Dems will probably use in campaigning for upcoming mid-term elections. I think we may hear this excuse ( along with a myriad of others) a lot in the coming months.  

TPM - David Plouffe, former top adviser to President Obama, said on Sunday that the health care law will improve with age and that it may take years for the law to work at its best.
"It may take until 2017," he said on ABC's "This Week." "It will work really well then."
"I think people's confidence will recover," he said.
No, Mr. Plouffe, wine gets better with age, not disastrous government programs. Read a history book lately?
