been a weird week for leftists in the news.  Here's a look at a few.

NOT from the Onion: Is John Kerry mentally ill? ‘Scriptures Commands America To Protect Muslims From Global Warming ‘

ISIL Poses 'No Credible' Threat, But Obama Plots 3-Year War Campaign

This is why I just ignore people who use Linda Greenhouse as a source.  Wikipedia is more reliable.  Obama Loses 9-0 at SCOTUS, New York Times Writer Calls It 'Major Victory for the President.' Wait, What?

Army officer is told not to enter his daughter’s high school because he’s wearing his uniform. “Before he was allowed in, the security guard stopped him and said sorry you’re not allowed in the school. Security told him men and women in uniform weren’t allowed because it may offend another student.”

Also: Firefighters Say They Were Sent Home for Refusing to Remove Patriotic Stickers.

Michael Moore: A hundred years from now, Obama will only be remembered for being the first black president.

Obama’s portrayal has gotten steadily “blacker” as his problems have mounted, I expect a post-term revisionism that will stress his privileged white background, concluding that he wasn’t a “real” black President at all. Expect this to peak around 2025 -2030.

 WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CLUE? Sorry, Mr. President, The Islamic State Is 100% Islamic.

Senior Obama official makes terrible geography error.

Saudi Arabia has an extensive border with Syria.

Er, no they don’t.

HOPEY-CHANGEY: Under Obama, only the richest 10 percent saw incomes rise.

HOW WASHINGTON’S REVOLVING DOOR Spurred Obama Administration’s Anti-Inversion Push. “If you were wondering why the White House suddenly took an interest in the consequences of tax inversion deals last spring, here is the reason – a pair of Wall Streeters with ties to the Obama administration made some calls on behalf of AstraZeneca which, you may recall, was trying to fend off an unwanted bid from Pfizer. Pfizer cited a tax inversion as one reason for its offer.”

So it was all about the Obama Administration taking a side in corporate maneuvering, and not about what was good for America. Color me shocked.

Hey, how about enacting my revolving-door surtax?

And for bonus hypocrisy points, while blathering on about “economic patriotism,” the Obama Administration was actually backing a foreign company (AstraZeneca, which is British/Swedish) against an American company, Pfizer.

off topic but relevant: D.C. Piano Prodigy Misses 10 Days of Public School, Gets Labeled "Truant." Now She's Homeschooled.

OK, the first one is NOT hatred from the left.  It was a hoax.  Just wanna get that out there: No, a Democratic Candidate Didn’t Wish Ebola on the NRA

But.

IF IT WEREN’T ABOUT A REPUBLICAN, IT WOULD COST HIM HIS JOB: Frank Rich tweets prison rape joke about former Va. Gov. Bob McDonnell. But it’s nice when these people show their true selves.

UPDATE: What is it about liberals and prison rape? Remember Bill Lockyer (Cal. Dem. AG)?

Yes, I do remember Bill Lockyer. My guess — liberals like for people to submit to the state, and for their opponents to be humiliated. So prison rape for Republicans is a twofer. The relationship of this to their political philosophies and personal behavior I leave as an exercise for the reader.

Meanwhile in the Antipodes: The Australian Government Broadcaster asks if we should ditch Democracy to ensure a climate change response

a GREAT post from the Diplomad:

The war to retake Iberia from the Muslims lasted nearly 800 years from a small but important victory in Covadonga to the final dramatic capitulation of Granada in 1492--an event, supposedly, witnessed by Christopher Columbus.

It was on reading the accounts of Granada's surrender to the forces of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel and Fernando, that I thought a good name for Obama is Boabdil. Bear with me. I know there's football on the tube. Boabdil, aka Mohamed XII, was the at-times confused, somewhat hapless, and at others conniving and always desperate last Muslim Emir of Granada. It fell to him to surrender Granada when it became clear that help was not on the way from the rest of the Muslim world and that he was facing alone the rampaging and victorious Christian forces of the Catholic Monarchs. The story, perhaps apocryphal, is that as Boabdil, his family, and his reduced band of hanger-ons left Granada, he paused on a hilltop to look back at the magnificent city he had just lost. The story goes on to relate that he began to cry on viewing that sight. His mother, Sultana Aixa, who had been urging a fight to the death against the Christians, reportedly said to the son who had so disappointed her, "No llores como mujer lo que no supistes defender como hombre" ("Don't cry like a woman over what you could not defend like a man.") There are slightly different versions of what she supposedly said, but the thought was the same.

Is Obama the Boabdil of the West? Nah, he won't cry when the West collapses, he'll play golf . . .
 

but posting a reminder.  This is the man currently in charge of successfully coordinating a global take-down of the psychopaths who wish to see the west burn.

You may ignore reality.  You may NOT ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.

THE NYT CATCHES ON TO WHAT MY READERS HAVE KNOWN FOR HALF A DECADE: A President Whose Assurances Have Come Back to Haunt Him. “Time and again, he has expressed assessments of the world that in the harsh glare of hindsight look out of kilter with the changed reality he now confronts.” But notice that the White House is still trying to blame Bush for everything.
