Another Obama Administration Cover-Up in Soldier-Taliban Swap

It barely took a day for the Obama Administration to go from trumpeting the release of soldier Bowe Bergdahl by the Taliban in exchange for five terrorist leaders to tucking tail and making excuses for what appears to be yet another illegal, not to mention amateurish, move by the president and his staff.

At the White House press conference May 31, President Obama proudly announced the deal, saying, "(Bergdahl) wasn’t forgotten by his country. The United States of America does not ever leave its men and women in uniform behind."

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey said, "Today we have back in our ranks the only remaining captured soldier from our conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Welcome home, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl."

So why aren't Bergdahl's former squadmates and their families happy to have Bergdahl back?

Well, it seems to have to do with the apparent fact that Bergdahl wasn't captured but had abandoned his post willingly and deserted his unit.

Seattle Sells Its Future for $15 an Hour

The Seattle City Council, liberal brain trust that it is, has set an example for the entire nation by voting to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

"This legislation sends a message heard around the world: Seattle wants to stop the race to the bottom in wages and that we deplore the growth in income inequality and the widening gap between the rich and the poor," said Councilman Tom Rasmussen, who along with whackadoo Mayor Ed Murray and openly Socialist Councilwoman Kshama Sawant pushed this genius piece of economic policy.

Yessirree, undeterred by common sense or the need to keep business in their town, the members of the city council are showing America how Progressives get it done.

They have a utopian vision to be sure, but I always wonder, if liberals truly think raising the minimum wage is the way to lift everybody's boats, why are they stopping at $15 an hour? Why not $100 or more?

Just imagine how great that would be. ...

You walk into your local McDonald's, where the velvet-jacketed doorman ushers you inside. Your street-grimy sneakers sink into the plush red carpet as you walk blithely beneath crystal chandeliers on your way to the nearest cashier, who happens to be the only cashier, in fact the only employee in the whole place, which is fitted out in marble tables and gold-plated fixtures, but otherwise empty.

The lone cashier himself is a tall, lanky young man with safety pins through both eyebrows, a gold-plated doorknocker hanging from his nose and high-gauge earrings you could slide a curtain rod through. But his uniform is crisp and fresh, complete with white calf-skin gloves and top hat.

Will Obama Free All the Terrorists Now?

Just last month we learned that ICE under President Obama had released 36,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens like it was on some sort of twisted catch and release fishing expedition, and that was in addition to 68,000 other cases in which officials declined to bring charges against criminally convicted illegal aliens contacted by ICE.

Officials interviewed in relation to those reports almost universally blamed Obama Administration policies set by the White House.

Now, President Obama, in one of his most outrageous and blatant acts of breaking the law, has released five Taliban terrorists, including a close associate of Osama bin Laden, from Guantanamo Bay, the prison set up under the Bush Administration to hold POWs captured in the War on Terror.

While some may consider the return of an American POW under any circumstances a cause for celebration, the fact remains that Obama was legally required to consult with Congress -- the same Congress he has decided is an unnecessary appendage of the U.S. government.

Hipster Parents Win Award for Turning 6-Year-Old Daughter Into a 'Boy'

I always wanted to be a rock star, but I can't sing, play guitar or dance.

I've always felt in my heart that I was meant to be a rock star nonetheless.

So I've made a decision.

From now on, I'm going to dress like Elvis, and everybody must refer to me as "the King" and buy my records. Women everywhere must swoon when I enter the room, and when I "perform," everybody must applaud, even if I sing off key and flub my guitar solo.

Anyone who fails to comply will be bullied, called names, possibly sued and be forever labeled a whatever-phobe you would be if you hate phony rock stars.

I will receive several Grammys because I am such an inspiration to talentless would-be musicians everywhere.

Does any of that sound reasonable to you?

No, I didn't think so.

So how is it in any way reasonable to give an "inspiration award" to a couple who have tried very hard to turn their 6-year-old daughter into a "boy"?

Obama's Chief of Disinformation Resigns

Maybe it proved to be too much strain for Jay Carney. There's only so much a person can take, even if that person is a dyed-in-the-government-issued-wool, communist-poster-collecting hardcore leftist fibber.

There was no tale, no matter how preposterous, that Carney wouldn't spin for his boss, President Obama, or any of the White House rogues gallery.

Carney was Obama's Mouth of Sauron, Baghdad Bob, Goebbels and Emily Litella all rolled into one.
