JOSEPH CURL: Hillary Clinton: This cycle’s Mitt Romney

A fantastical remark by Hillary Clinton went virtually unnoticed last week, especially by the mainstream media. By Monday, when President Obama let Ferguson, Missouri, burn to the ground by failing to deploy national guard troops to the city ripped by racial strife, the remark had been long forgotten.

JOSEPH CURL: Obama sets off on scorched-earth rampage

President Obama, fresh off a shellacking in the 2014 midterm elections — in which he made himself a centerpiece, much to the chagrin of embattled Democrats — is about to embark on a scorched-earth rampage that will change the face of America forever. Published November 19, 2014

JOSEPH CURL: The liberal ideology — Americans too ‘stupid’ to know what’s good for them

There's something truly terrifying about liberals. They deem themselves the keepers of the moral good, with only their goals and aspirations worthy, so they don't care a bit about how they achieve them. Published November 16, 2014

JOSEPH CURL: Post-election surprises: Obamacare flounders, Keystone revived

Shocker: Now that the midterm elections are over, Team Obama is dumping all the bad news it buried in the weeks running up to what turned out to be a bloodbath for Democrats — and planning a devious move to try to save one embattled senator facing a runoff race. Published November 12, 2014

JOSEPH CURL: MSM says GOP tsunami means voters are choosing ‘none of the above’

To America's mainstream media, the midterm elections are a choice between bad and worse. Here's why, by their reasoning: No one — repeat no one — in their right mind could ever vote for Republicans, so clearly the country's voters are so disengaged and dissatisfied that they couldn't care less about who wins.

JOSEPH CURL: Mainstream media shocked latest polls show GOP pulling away

The mainstream media made a hearty go of it, attempting for the last few weeks to portray the Nov. 4 election as a toss-up. But poll after poll is now showing those reports to be nothing more than a barrel of red herrings: Republicans are solidly in the lead with just more than a week to go. Published October 26, 2014

JOSEPH CURL: Trick or treat: Democrats running scared from Obama

JOSEPH CURL: Obama’s spectacular incompetence turns deadly

It was only a matter of time. President Obama, a short-term college professor and failed community organizer who became a mostly absentee state senator and then an all-but-invisible U.S. senator, has Petered out. Per the Peter Principle, he has risen to his level of incompetence — some would argue far beyond it. Published October 15, 2014

CURL: Obama now phoning it in — literally

On Sunday, President Obama suited up for work. He put on his pants (most likely one leg at a time, but perhaps not), then slipped on his black windbreaker, the one with the presidential seal on one side, his name on the other (in case he forgets who he is). He put on some comfy sports socks, laced up his shoes real tight — it would be a long, hard day. Published October 12, 2014

CURL: Obama’s breathtaking naivete at the United Nations

President Obama on Wednesday delivered a speech at the United Nations filled with his usual soaring rhetoric of global collectivism and the importance of "international norms."

CURL: Islamic State a deadly threat to America? More like politics as usual

CNN uber-host Wolf Blitzer said a remarkable thing recently. As he motor-mouthed through his usual breathless babble, stomping about the glitzy high-tech studio and gesticulating wildly at the "Multi-Touch Collaboration Wall," he threw out this little nugget. Published September 21, 2014
