Can We Trust An International
Leader Who Wears a High Fade?
I don't know if you've noticed, but the "high
fade" hair style is coming back among NBA players. The high fade,
made popular by Kid 'n' Play in the '90s, consists of shaving the hair
along the sides and back of the head while allowing the hair on the top
of the head to grow long. The longer hair is then trimmed into what used
to be called a flat-top. The New York Knicks' Iman Shumpert sports the
recently resuscitated hairstyle.
But Shumpert is not alone. North Korea's Kim
Jong-un boasts the Asiatic version of this classic hip-hop hairdo. Along
with Kim's embracing of former NBA player Dennis Rodman, it looks as though
the North Korean dictator is signalling that he bears no ill will toward
the U.S. by attempting to ingratiate himself through his hairstyle with
the African-American community and, by extension, our president.

It's clear that Barack Obama has
bought into the idea that Kim bears no malice toward the U.S., since the
president is blithely and unconcernedly spending his time hob-nobbing
with wealthy San Franciscans in order to raise money rather than actually
monitoring the increasingly alarming prospect of a chubby, delusional,
high-fade wearing North Korean dictator daily moving his nation closer
to war with the United States.
The real questions are these: "Why doesn't Obama himself change his
hairstyle to a high fade?" and "Will Obama have the cojones
to confront Kim if he does go through with what should be a suicidal attack
on our nation or one of its allies?" This is unfortunately a serious
question. Given Obama's lack of anything resembling a backbone, a Kim
missile attack might just turn into yet another retreat by the president
in the face of aggression by a dictatorial regime.
Dirty Energy
There are two components to Barack Obama's energy policy. The first question
he asks is "If I issue the order to follow a specific energy strategy,
will I be able to funnel billions of dollars to the rich guys that donated
a lot of money to me?" The second is, "If I implement a specific
energy program, will I simultaneously be able to satisfy my deluded global
warming cohorts and destroy our carbon-based energy industry, all at the
same time?"
Energy produced in coal-fired plants accounts for nearly 50% of our total
electricity output. If Obama were truly committed to reducing emissions
generated in coal-fired energy production rather than to destroying
the coal industry altogether he could simply have redirected, say,
half of the tens of billions of dollars he funneled to his corrupt green-energy
cohorts into grants and provided the money to coal-fired plants to install
technology that would reduce their carbon emissions.
Rogue Cop Christopher Dorner and Prescription
Psychotropic Drugs
With the Christopher Dorner case, the
role of prescription psychotropic drugs in mass killings has again come
to the forefront. Numerous articles have approached the role of so-called
"psych meds" in causing depraved and indifferent violent behavior,
but one in particular deserves attention because it highlights the fact
that among psychiatric professionals there is no coherent understanding
of what needs to be done after we take people off of drugs that are prescribed
for their psychiatric illnesses. The article -- Jon Rappoport's "Is
Christopher Dorner Another Psychiatric Killer?" -- makes a number
of important points about the former Los Angeles police officer's mental
health. Dorner had been treated for severe depression since 2008, and
Rappoport correctly proposes that the drugs Dorner was prescribed to treat
his depression were almost certainly among the causes of his seeking violent
revenge against members of the Los Angeles Police Department. (Read
