The realization that the Obama Administration was making it a priority to break old alliances with America’s friends came early on when the President returned a bust of Winston Churchill to Great Britain shortly after taking office. What many failed to realize at the time was to the extent that President Obama would go to embrace the old enemies of the Stars and Stripes. With the President’s snubbing of Israel, and recent actions embracing Communist Cuba and the radical Islamic state of Iran, it has become all too clear who the Obama administration considers its ‘friends’. But if the President’s actions fail to speak louder than words then a recent U.S. report should clear up any lingering doubt. An article on the Daily Mail claims that a secret report written by the United States government says that the special relationship between the U.S. and Great Britain is over: “Washington believes that the ‘special relationship’ between Britain and the US is over, according to a secret briefing document seen by The Mail on Sunday. “The memo for members of Congress states damningly that ‘the UK may not be viewed as centrally relevant to the United States in all of the issues and relations considered a priority on the US agenda’. “Dated April 2015 and drawn up to brief the Senate and House of Representatives on the impact of Britain’s General Election, the memo also warns that the UK faces turmoil if there is a hung parliament.

ESPN suspends reporter after ugly towing-lot rant By Mark W. Sanchez and Justin Terranova April 16, 2015 \| 3:04pm Warning: Explicit language ESPN suspended reporter Britt McHenry for one week, hours after a video surfaced of the reporter dressing down a towing-lot attendant in brutally ugly fashion. “I’m in the news, sweetheart, I will f—–g sue this place,” McHenry, a Washington-based reporter, says as the video opens. Modal TriggerBritt McHenryPhoto: McHenry vented about getting her car towed in a since-deleted tweet ( as caught and saved by ARL Now) on April 6, and that was the cause of her frustration. She apologized for the blowup on Thursday evening after the video went viral. “In an intense and stressful moment, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me and said some insulting and regrettable things,” she wrote. “As frustrated as I was, I should always choose to be respectful and take the high road. I am so sorry for my actions and will learn from this mistake.” The video, which appeared on LiveLeak, shows McHenry relentlessly mocking the clerk in a nasty attack, bouncing from jabs at her intelligence to insults about her teeth. “Yep, that’s all you care about, is just taking people’s money,” McHenry says. “With no education, no skillset, just wanted to clarify that. … Do you feel good about your job? So I could be a college dropout and do the same thing? Why, cause I have a brain and you don’t?” The rant somehow gets more personal as the edited video closes. “Maybe if I was missing some teeth they would hire me, huh?” McHenry says. ” ‘Cause they look so stunning … ‘Cause I’m on television and you’re in a f—–g trailer, honey.” And a parting shot before McHenry leaves: “Lose some weight, baby girl.”
