 Cruz's Iowa Success Endangers Corn Lobby 
Could the corn lobby's stranglehold on political rhetoric be cracking? With just weeks until the Iowa caucuses, presidential candidate Ted Cruz is leading the field, polling at 31%. He's also an aggressive critic of the ethanol mandate. Known as the Renewable Fuel Standard, the mandate requires a massive amount of ethanol be used in the nation's gas supply, and it sends a very lucrative stream of money flowing to corn producers. And Iowa is the nation's largest producer of the stuff. Thus, Cruz's lead has given the corn lobby a bit of heartburn. As the Washington Examiner's Timothy Carney wrote, "If Cruz wins Iowa, especially if he wins big, it will confirm that the subsidies and mandates for ethanol are very important only to a sliver of the population (largely the lobbyists and executives of the giant agribusinesses that receive the lion's share of the benefit). ... If the ethanol lobby is a paper tiger, then the federal ethanol mandate is not long for this world."
          At the beginning of this presidential race, we saw the power the corn lobby had. In March, former candidate Scott Walker hired Liz Mair as a communications consultant but fired her hours later after the Iowa GOP machine skewered her because she wrote several tweets disparaging Iowa and how it hamstrung national policy. Reading between the lines, she was clearly referencing subsidies for ethanol. Meanwhile, the great ethanol boondoggle is an inefficient waste of food and natural resources all in the pursuit of corny science.  -The Patriot Post

 nObama Bypasses Law to Import More Foreign Workers 
Too many leftists applaud Barack nObama's use of executive orders, his selective enforcement of the law, and his application of the federal regulatory apparatus as a bludgeon to enforce his will when Congress "would not act." In short, these misnamed "liberals" approve of nObama's petulant tantrums when Republicans don't give him his way, and it's not just on guns. These tantrums and abuses of power will be nObama's legacy.
          It's painful obvious that these same leftists wouldn't have such a favorable view had George W. Bush engaged in such lawlessness as president. For example, what if Bush had issued an executive order directing the IRS not to pursue collection of capital gains taxes, or to cease auditing income earners who fall in the top 1%? What if he had directed the Border Patrol to focus on deporting Mexicans, but to ignore those trying to get into the U.S. from Cuba (Cubans tend to vote Republican)? What if he issued an EO directing the IRS to set up a mechanism whereby the Social Security taxes of American workers were directed into a private investment account of their choosing — you know, since Congress had "failed to act" on Bush's efforts at partial privatization of that bloated, bankrupt program?
          Yet because nObama shares their progressive, statist, totalitarian worldview, leftists readily embrace a powerful executive who implements his agenda by sheer force of will, regardless of the Constitution, our traditions, or the will of the people. Yet if they were intelligent they would fear such a precedent, realizing that "their guy" will not always hold the reins of power, and precedents, once set, are hard to reverse.
          One of many areas in which nObama has shown contempt for his constitutional duty to enforce the law as written is with the issue of immigration, both legal and illegal. We are all too aware of nObama's de facto implementation of the DREAM Act, or variations of it, which failed to pass through Congress even when Democrats controlled both houses. nObama has also initiated by executive fiat his DACA and DAPA programs, which not only exempt millions of illegals from deportation, but he has attempted to give them a quasi-legal status, including work permits. nObama has continually sought to do this even when facing an injunction by a federal judge.  -The Patriot Post
.
 Is Ted Cruz Eligible to Be President? 
If you thought the end of Barack nObama's presidency would (thankfully) mark the end of controversy of a politician's birthplace, think again. Thanks to Donald Trump, the issue has returned, though this time with a bull's eye on Ted Cruz — not coincidentally one of Trump's most formidable primary opponents.
          Cruz was born in 1970 in Canada to a U.S. citizen mother. The Constitution requires that the president be a "natural born" citizen of the United States, and Trump suggested Cruz's Canadian birthplace might imperil his presidential eligibility — or at least he suggested that other people might suggest it. Perish the thought.
           Trump claimed Cruz's birthplace was a "very precarious" issue that could be detrimental to Cruz should he cinch the nomination. "Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: 'Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?' That'd be a big problem," said Trump. He added that "a lot of people are talking about it," and that he'd "hate to see something like that get in his way." Yes, we're sure he would simply hate that. But is there any validity to Trump's "concern"? In a word, no.
          The Congressional Research Service, the arm of the Library of Congress which for more than a century has been tasked with providing (allegedly) non-partisan research and legal analysis to members of Congress, has described a "natural born" citizen as one who is a citizen "at birth" or "by birth," as opposed to a "naturalized" citizen. According to the U.S. Code, those who are citizens at birth include "a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years." Cruz's mother was born and raised in Delaware and attended college in Texas, more than fulfilling this requirement.   -The Patriot Post

 nObamaCare's Impact on The Patriot Post 
In a 240-181 vote, the House passed a reconciliation bill repealing nObamaCare and defunding Planned Parenthood, sending a bill that would defund Barack nObama's signature legislation to his desk. Although this is the first time such a measure passed both chambers, Republicans in the House voted 50 times in the past to repeal nObamaCare. This bill faces certain veto, but it's still a victory for Republicans, as it forces nObama to issue a veto days before his final State of the Union Address. Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM) told reporters, "Any time that you make someone in elected office take a stance, it's extremely valuable because the American people don't watch too much until then. So [nObama] will absolutely say, 'I refuse to understand that you as Americans are hurting because of this bill, that you're losing your jobs, some of you have been cut back to part time … many of you now have lost the insurance that you've spent decades preparing for your family, and I, as the president of the United States, am going to tell you forget it, I'm going to veto it.' I think that's extraordinarily valuable in the political circumstances."
          Take The Patriot Post for an example of how nObamaCare is affecting small businesses. We just completed our year-end financial review and part of that was to see, again, that our health insurance premiums increased a whopping 25% last year — and that's for a group of healthy professionals whose average age is a tick under 40. Next, the GOP must move beyond the critique of nObamaCare and work on a replacement to the health care boondoggle. Finally, after years of criticism, we'll see just how well the Republican Party can lead by promoting policies steeped in conservative values.   -The Patriot Post

Illegal Aliens Use Fake 
Puerto Rican Birth Certificates 
to Get U.S. Passports, Licenses
Judicial Watch
.
{judicialwatch.org} ~ As if the country’s monstrous immigration crisis weren’t dire enough, an increasing number of illegal aliens are using fake Puerto Rican birth certificates to obtain authentic U.S. passports and driver’s licenses... Located about 1,000 miles southeast of Florida, Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory about two decades after the Caribbean island was acquired from Spain at the end of the Spanish-American war. Puerto Ricans are American citizens at birth though they don’t have the right to vote in federal elections and the island has only one non-voting representative in Congress. In recent years a record number of Puerto Ricans have left their troubled island for the U.S. and a big chunk has settled on Florida. A few months ago a study found that the island’s ongoing economic recession has led to a mass exodus not seen in more than five decades. In 2014 alone 84,000 people left Puerto Rico for the U.S. mainland, the study found. One recent news report referred to the Puerto Rican crisis as an economic exodus that could push two-thirds of its population to live in the U.S. The island has an eye-popping $73 billion debt, a collapsing healthcare system and nearly half of its population living in poverty.

Outrage, skepticism greet North 
Korea's claim of hydrogen bomb test
foxnews
.
{foxnews.com} ~ The world reacted with outrage and skepticism Wednesday after North Korea claimed that it had successfully tested a "miniaturized" hydrogen bomb... The announcement, which could not immediately be confirmed by outside sources, was made by a state television anchor who read a typically propaganda-heavy statement calling the test a "perfect success" that elevated the country's "nuclear might to the next level" and provided it with a weapon to defend itself against the United States and other enemies. The United Nations Security Council quickly announced an emergency meeting scheduled for Wednesday morning.        http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/01/06/north-korea-claims-to-conduct-successful-hydrogen-bomb-test.html

{constitutionrising.com} ~ Only two considerations need to be made in order to recognize the relevance of this 2010 video to the events of today... One, that Howard Dean and Bill Clinton engaged the European Communists, seeking to strengthen their ties and cooperation in the furtherance of an agenda promoting a one world Marxist government under the United Nations. The second, that fact that Hilly Clinton is running for president as the Communist Party candidate, that the Democrats are the American Communist Party is a case Dean makes quite clearly. The fact that Clinton has thus far gotten away with espionage provides substantial circumstantial evidence. It should be quite disconcerting to every American to realize that both Clintons had access to the top secrets of our federal government, as do all of the communists which currently populate the nObama regime. For all intents America has no secrets, just money-making and power brokering opportunities for our enemies.

{constitutionrising.com/} ~ Gina McCarthy is a professional obscurantist who serves as the head of the EPA and pretends to have even less of a clue than she actually does about the frauds she and her criminal syndicate are perpetrating against the American people... With plausible stupidity and ignorance comes plausible deniability and immunity from that most unlikely of outcomes to Democrat treason against the United States, accountability. She may not know much about science or at least, presents herself that way, but when it comes to rolling out mandates, dictates, and regulation packages, McCarthy is quite capable and particularly ruthless. She demonstrated her abilities in that sphere on Monday, writing in an EPA blog that she and her agency are planning a record year, after their successful abuse-filled 2015. Topping the list in 2016 will be building on the framework established in the non-ratified, non-treaty international UN global government agreement that the regime dictatorially committed the United States to in December. The fact that they circumvented Congress in defiance of the Constitution means nothing to McCarthy or any of the participants. They do as they please, with the blessing and financial approval of Mitch McCon-nell, Paul Ryan and their cast of Congressional quislings.

{aim.org} ~ Here are the highlights from the president’s plans on new gun controls. It is obvious he is limited in what he can do without Congress... His packed house and emotional introduction was brilliantly performed. Unfortunately, the president left out most hard details on what he actually plans to have his officials do, so the workings he leaked to Politico on New Years Eve remain unknown, but this has not stopped pundits from speculating wildly. Real details below. Politico suggested (but he did not say) gun dealers would be redefined as: anyone selling more than 25 guns in a year, in the original boxes, within a short period from acquisition, and the most dangerous suggestion, if they hold a certain unspecified-size inventory, which could affect huge numbers of Americans with collections. The current definition of a gun dealer, in place for decades, is in CFR §178.11, a regulation (not a statute) which can be changed by administrative procedure without Congress.

Navy Seal Destroys Hilly Clinton – 
‘You Are An Ignorant Liar’

{gopthedailydose.com} ~ According to American News, Raso began by calling Clinton out for a lie she told an audience “in order to make herself appear as courageous as American soldiers.”... Of course, he was referring to the lie Clinton told about dodging enemy fire in Bosnia. “I remember landing under sniper fire,” Clinton once said. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicle to get to our base. It was a moment of great pride for me.” Raso pointed out that video footage proves Clinton was greeted warmly with handshakes that day. She tried to blame her lie on a mistake, calling it a “misstatement.”

{thenewamerican.com} ~ The United Nations and its mostly autocratic member regimes have big plans for your life, your children, your country, and your world... And those plans are not limited to the coercive “climate” agreement recently concluded in Paris. While the establishment media in the United States was hyping ISIS, football, and of course “global warming,” virtually every national government/ dictatorship on the planet met at the 70th annual General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York to adopt a draconian 15-year master plan for the planet. Top globalists such as former NATO chief Javier Solana, a socialist, are celebrating the plan, which the summit unanimously “approved,” as the next “Great Leap Forward” — yes, the old campaign slogan of the Chinese Communist Party. The master plan is comprised of 17 “Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) with 169 specific “targets” to be foisted on all of humanity — literally all of it, as the plan itself states explicitly. “As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind,” reads the UN manifesto, entitled Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. But if you love liberty, self-government, free markets, or the U.S. Constitution, you will almost certainly be wishing that the UN would leave you behind.

Britain's Largest Bank Cuts Off Islamic
Relief UK Over Alleged Terror Connections
John Rossomando
.
{investigativeproject.org} ~ Britain's largest bank, HSBC, no longer will do business with the charity Islamic Relief UK due to worries over its alleged terror ties... The Sunday Times of London reported last weekend that the banking giant decided to cut off the Muslim charity a year ago, but the move went unreported until now. Islamic Relief UK receives millions of pounds from the British Department of International Development, the Times reported. Israel banned the charity from the West Bank in 2014, accusing it of laundering money for Hamas. The Israel Ministry for Foreign Affairs designated the group's parent organization, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), as a terrorist front in 2006. "The IRW provides support and assistance to Hamas's infrastructure. The IRW's activities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip are carried out by social welfare organizations controlled and staffed by Hamas operatives. The intensive activities of these associations are designed to further Hamas's ideology among the Palestinian population," Israel's Ministry for Foreign Affairs wrote.

Ambassador Maen Rashid Areikat, who has been the top PLO representative to the US since 2009, tweeted: “In 2015 alone, 179 Palestinians were killed by Israel, 85% were extra-judicially shot dead. Additionally, new type of lethal bullets detected.”

{conservativetribune.com} ~ In an interview with Fox News on Monday, three of the men who fought at Benghazi, Libya, during the 2102 terrorist attack revealed that the State Department repeatedly told them to stand down during the siege... The interview with security contractors Mark “Oz” Geist, Kris “Tanto” Paronto and John “Tig” Tiegen was nominally about the release of the Michael Bay-directed movie about the Benghazi attacks, “13 Hours.” However, during the segment on “The Kelly File,” the three dropped several bombshells about the actions of Hilly Clinton’s State Department on Sept. 11, 2012, that no doubt have the Hilly campaign scrambling for cover. During the interview, Tiegen related that in spite of his warnings that Ambassador Chris Stevens was missing, the State Department still refused to let the forces engage, simply telling them to stand down in the face of a terrorist-led attack that Clinton and the nObama administration soon after tried to blame on Muslim anger over a movie trailer.

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Last  October when the Palestinians began their latest round of terrorist war against Israel, lawmakers from the Joint Arab List participated in mass anti-Israel rallies in major Arab towns.
.
One such rally in Nazareth in mid-October attracted some 2,500 participants. After it ended, some demonstrators started throwing rocks at Jews. The next day, MK Ayman Odeh, who heads the Joint Arab List stood on a street in Nazareth and gave a live interview to Channel 2 news. 
.
Just as the camera began filming, Nazareth Mayor Ali Salam drove down the street. Seeing Odeh, Salam stopped his car and began bellowing, “Get out of here! Enough of your interviews. Go ruin things somewhere else!” Odeh tried lamely to get the camera to stop filming. But Salam continued shouting.
.
“You guys ruined the city. I’m the mayor… there wasn’t even one Jew here today. Not even one! What are you being interviewed about? What are you doing to us?... You had a march, you guys torched the world. Shut up! Leave! Move it!” Salam’s outburst did not come out of nowhere. He was voicing the frustration that most Israeli Arabs feel towards their Knesset representatives who spend far more time demonizing Israel than advancing the interests of Arab Israelis inside of Israel.
.
According to the latest detailed survey of Arab Israelis published in November by Prof. Sami Smooha, 60 percent of Israeli Arabs do not trust their representatives in the Knesset. Two thirds of Israeli Arabs say that their Knesset representatives are not advancing their interests.
.
A full 80% of Israeli Arabs believe that it is the job of the Arab members of Knesset to advance their communal interests rather than concentrate on political war against Israel.
.
Most Israeli Arabs would probably agree that they are hurt by the political war against Israel. After all, 77% of Israeli Arabs define themselves as Israelis, 60% accept Israel as a Jewish state, and 54% believe Israeli democracy extends to them.
.
While Odeh’s constituents feel betrayed by him, the nObama administration apparently can’t get enough of him and his anti-Israel message.
.
Last month Odeh became the first Israeli Arab politician to receive an audience at the White House.
.
While in the US, Odeh was hailed as an Israeli Martin Luther King Jr. as he trampled on the civil rights of Jews. Odeh insulted the American Jewish community by refusing at the last moment to participate in a meeting with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
.
As the leaders of the Conference’s member organizations sat waiting for him at the Conference’s offices in New York, Odeh stood in the building’s lobby and refused to get into the elevator. Odeh, a member of Knesset who has sworn allegiance to the Jewish state, wouldn’t meet with the American Jewish leaders because the Conference offices are located on the same floor as the Jewish Agency’s offices. And the leader of the third-largest Knesset faction didn’t want to give any legitimacy to Israel’s national institutions.
.
In light of Odeh’s insulting bigotry, it is troubling that the nObama administration spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to train Odeh’s political operatives and help them campaign during last year’s Knesset elections. It is similarly distressing that to elevate Odeh, the administration broke protocol and rolled out the red carpet for him, even as his own constituents attack him for effectively disenfranchising them.
.
It is against the backdrop of Odeh’s US-supported irredentism that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu gave one of the most significant speeches of his career Saturday night.
.
Standing at the site of Friday’s Islamic State-like massacre in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu said that the time has come for Israeli Arabs – and their leaders – to recognize that with equal rights come equal obligations.
.
In his words, “One cannot say ‘I am an Israeli in rights and a Palestinian in obligations.’ Whoever wants to be Israeli should be an Israeli all the way, both in rights and in obligations, and the first and highest obligation is to obey the laws of the state.”
.
Netanyahu demanded that the Arab members of Knesset denounce the attack and condemned the rampant incitement against Israel that takes place in the Israeli Arab sector. He then announced that the government will be investing billions of shekels in massively strengthening law enforcement in Israeli Arab towns and villages, and will seize the tens of thousands of illegal firearms that are now held by Israeli Arabs.
.
Netanyahu ended his remarks by embracing the integrationist trend among Israeli Arabs.
.
In his words, “I view positively the increasing involvement in the IDF, in national service and in the overall life of the state, of the Christian, Druze and northern Bedouin communities, and within the Muslim community as well.
.
I call on all citizens of Israel, especially its Muslim citizens, to take the path of integration, coexistence and peace and not the path of incitement, hatred and fanaticism. We are all citizens of the state and are all bound to maintain it and uphold its laws.”
.
According to Smooha’s data, only 18.5% of Israeli Arabs support violence against Israeli Jews, and only 17% have no problem with Islamic State. But then again, when taken in absolute numbers, these numbers mean that some 250,000 Israeli Arabs do not have a problem with Islamic State and support violence against Israeli Jews.
.
Odeh, who opposes Israeli Arab military and national service, harshly condemned Netanyahu’s speech. He castigated the premier as “a human being that just incites.”
.
Of course, the problem is Odeh, not Netanyahu. In a recent interview with Army Radio, Odeh refused to condemn Palestinian stabbing attacks against Israeli Jews insisting, “I won’t define red lines for the Palestinian nation.”
.
It is Odeh, through his US-supported denunciation of Israel who cultivates an intellectual climate where support for IS and terrorism against Israel in general can grow, even as the vast majority of Israeli Arabs reject it. While Israeli Arabs like Mayor Salam stand helplessly on the sidelines, Odeh embraces Palestinian terrorism against Israelis. Not surprisingly, in this welcoming environment, it is hard to rein in Islamic terrorism. So it has grown.
.
According to data from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), to date, some 150 Israeli Arabs have left the country to join Islamic State. Last year the Shin Bet reported it had broken up four Islamic State cells of Israeli Arabs. Three of the reports were from the past three months alone.
.
The main jump in Israeli Arab support for Israel has come in recent years, and in the face of the breakdown in the peace process between Israel and the PLO.
.
There are two main reasons for positive trend. First, since 2009, the government has invested billions of shekels in strengthening Israeli Arabs economically and integrating them into wider society. Arab income has grown nearly ten percent in the past decade.
.
The second reason for the steep rise in Israeli Arab identification with Israel owes to the rise of Islamic State and the demise of the Arab states as Syria, Libya and Iraq have disappeared and Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia teeter on the brink.
.
In comparison to the rest of the region, Israel Arabs rightly view their country as an island of tranquility and peace.
.
Netanyahu’s speech was a watershed moment in Israeli politics, because after years of pretending away the breach between popular Israeli Arab support for integration and rejection of integration – and of Israel itself – by the radicalized Israeli Arab political leadership, Netanyahu attacked it head on. In so doing, he made a direct link between the rise of Islamic State-style terrorism and Odeh’s support for Palestinian terrorism.
.
By demanding loyalty and pledging to apply the law equally to Arabs and Jews alike, Netanyahu put Odeh and his international supporters on notice. Israel will not allow radical Arab politicians and their radical supporters in Washington to continue to intimidate the government out of enforcing the laws of the state to all of Israel’s citizens equally.
.
With the support of the vast majority of Israeli Arabs, who realize that Odeh and his colleagues are endangering their future, the government will root out and destroy the jihadists and their supporters, and so ensure that Israeli remains the Jewish democracy that extends full rights to its Arab citizens it has always been.

 How Many Illegal Aliens Live in America? 
The most frequently cited number of illegal aliens in the U.S. is 11 million. But where does that number originate? According to William Campenni at The Daily Signal, "Three main players were involved in generating that number of 11 million illegal immigrants: Pew Research Center, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Department of Homeland Security. But they were only masseurs of the source data, which comes from the Census Bureau by means of two surveys: the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey." Campenni argues that in reality no one knows what the number is because illegals often sneak across the border; they're not checking in when they come. He adds, "Sarah Saldana, who runs Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the chief deportation agency and part of Homeland Security, testified Dec. 2 before Congress that the illegal population could be as high as 15 million." Furthermore, "In 2005, a Bear Stearns study estimated the total number of illegal immigrants at 20 million using other data perhaps more valid than sole reliance on Census Bureau surveys." What if, 11 years later, that number is far higher still? In short, there's really no sure way to know, but those invested in amnesty have an incentive to make the number as low as possible.  -The Patriot Post

 Don't Cry for Me, Gun Controller 
During his Tuesday press conference rolling out his over-hyped executive actions on guns, Barack nObama even shed a "tear" for the children. "Every time I think about those kids [killed at Sandy Hook Elementary], it gets me mad," he said, wiping away a tear. "Our unalienable right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness — those rights were stripped from college kids in Blacksburg and Santa Barbara," nObama said. "And from high schoolers at Columbine. And from first graders in Newtown. First graders. And from every family who never imagined that their loved one would be taken by a bullet from a gun." He continued, "We do have to feel a sense of urgency about it, because people are dying and the constant excuses for inaction no longer suffice."
          And to think, nObama once said, "Part of this job is also the theater of it" and that's "not something that always comes naturally to me." Please.
          He then proceeded to introduce measures that would do absolutely nothing to reduce crime or so-called "gun violence." He'll target only the law-abiding, and he will likely continue the lax enforcement for which his administration has grown so infamous. Every American should be incensed when lives are taken senselessly, but also when craven politicians stand on the coffins of innocent victims to trumpet their preferred gun control policy. If nObama really wanted to save lives, he'd work with Congress to push for things like fewer "gun free zones," which just happen to be where nearly every mass shooting takes place.
          Instead, he lectured: "I believe in the Second Amendment. It's there written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around, I taught constitutional law, [so] I know a little bit about this. I get it. But I also believe that we can find ways to reduce gun violence consistent with the Second Amendment." He's just not interested in those ways. And the Constitution is far more than just a piece of paper, however much nObama seeks to shred it.  -The Patriot Post

 Clinton Can't Distinguish Between Democrat and Socialist 
For at least one question, Chris Matthews lived up to the name of his show on MSNBC, "Hardball with Chris Matthews." When interviewing Hilly Clinton Tuesday, he asked her to define the difference between Democrat and socialist. She couldn't, beyond saying that no, she wasn't one. "I can tell you what I am," she replied. "I'm a progressive Democrat who likes to get things done, and who believes that we are better off in this country when we're trying to solve problems together, getting people to work together." Matthews asked the same question of Democrat National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz in July. She, too, could not give a satisfactory answer.
          This is dangerous for Clinton and establishment Democrats. Not only can she not draw a sharp distinction between herself and self-declared socialist Bernie Sanders, but the lack of explanation as to why she isn't socialist will cost her votes, as 50% of the U.S. population will not vote for a socialist, according to Gallup. If it walks like a socialist and talks like a socialist... This leads us to conclude that the Democrat Party is filled with DINOs — Democrats (people who advocate democracy) in name only — and a sinister ideology has replaced the party's old ideals.
          "Not only is there little distinction between Soviet and German socialist systems of the 20th century," Mark Alexander wrote in an essay about the "new" Democrat Party, "but there is no consequential distinction between Marxist Socialism, Nationalist Socialism, or the most recent incarnation of this beast, Democratic Socialism. The objective of socialism by any name, is to replace Rule of Law with the rule of men, and the terminus of this transformation is tyranny."    -The Patriot Post

{thenewamerican.com} ~ The American people went to the polls in massive numbers to vote in Republican congressional candidates over the last few elections — but giving Republican leaders control of Congress was all for nothing, the latest GOP betrayal of the Constitution and its constituents showed... As if to rub it in, nObama's Education secretary, Arne Duncan, has been gloating about how the administration literally conspired with Republican leadership to pass a 1,061-page “education” bill that for the first time codifies nObama's radical education agenda — including the almost universally loathed Common Core standards and much more — into federal “law.” nObama called it a “Christmas miracle,” echoing comments from other Democrats and teachers' unions. And while Duncan also suggested that the administration had duped less-than-intelligent Republicans into passing the nObama-backed “Every Student Succeeds Act,” or ESSA, the reality is that GOP leaders are not idiots. Instead, they knowingly and willingly betrayed their constituents and their oath of office to help nObama advance his agenda of “fundamentally transforming” America.

Hezbollah’s ongoing involvement in the Syrian civil war, the deepening crisis between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which backs Hezbollah, and the group’s ongoing battles with rebel groups on the Lebanese border have not drawn Hezbollah’s attention away from its open-ended battle with Israel, according to the report.

White House refuses to explain
 delay in Iran sanctions

.
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A White House spokesman on Monday declined to say why the nObama administration changed course and decided to delay sanctioning Iran for its illegal ballistic missile tests... but also rejected the idea that the sanctions were delayed because of pressure from Tehran. "Ultimately we will impose those financial penalties, we'll impose those sanctions, at a time and place of our choosing, when our experts believe that they will have maximum impact," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday. "And those decisions are not subject to negotiation by the Iranians — or anybody else for that matter." The administration was expected to levy new sanctions on companies and individuals involved in Tehran's ballistic-missile program on Wednesday but then on Thursday did an about-face.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ Whenever Hussein nObama doesn’t have a legitimate foundation for one of his bright ideas to further lead  America down the road to nObamaville, the Marxist utopian paradise, he simply tells us how smart blind obedience is... He also pretends that it’s the “right thing to do” or represents it as “who we are.” In spite of the fact that he isn’t an American nObama somehow expects to be able to sell himself as the expert on what it means to be an American. Being an American under Hussein nObama, by his definition, means being ignorant of and not respecting the Constitution or the separation of powers. It means being willing to be bullied by a dictator, even or especially if you are a member of Congress. It means surrendering your self-governance to the elites and accepting the return of slavery under new globalist masters. Ralph Peters got himself suspended for honestly conveying his thoughts on what kind of “man” nObama is on Fox News following the nObama propaganda speech on San Bernardino. He’s probably not going to make the mistake of being honest again, but we can imagine that nObama’s mentally unstable, teary-eyed John backstabber-Boehner impersonation did nothing to alter Col Peters’ viewpoint as to nObama’s manliness.

Remember when the genius in the White House declared, “Afghanistan is not going to be a source of terrorist attacks again.” One member of the U.S. armed forces was killed and two others were wounded on Tuesday in southern Afghanistan’s Helmand province, the site of fierce fighting between Taliban and American-backed Afghan government forces, the U.S. military said.

The trademark flag-waving masked gunmen I'd expected to see were replaced with clean-shaven, technically adept and highly trained weapons specialists giving expert tuition in how to turn obsolete munitions and ammunition into state-of-the art weapon systems. Without doubt, the most chilling aspect of watching this training video was the unprecedented levels of technical expertise and ingenuity of those weapons engineers.

{news.usni.org} ~ The path the United States has been on since 2011 to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad immediately from power is not working... but “tamping down the civil war” while working for a longer-range transitional government is no guarantee that such a shift in emphasis would led to the defeat of the Sunni-dominated Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Speaking Tuesday at a Council on Foreign Relations forum in New York City, Michael Doran of the Hudson Institute said “Syria is the center of gravity, not Iraq.” The danger, he said, is that Iraq would be viewed by American allies and partners in the region as working with Iran and Russia in support of a non-Sunni regime. Paul Pillar, from the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University, said that although the fighting on the ground, even with Russian and Iranian military intervention, has flatlined. “The moderate Sunni opposition is as divided as it has always been” in whether to take on the Islamic State before their goal of overthrowing the Assad regime and undermining the influence of Shiia Iran. http://news.usni.org/2016/01/05/council-on-foreign-relations-panel-outlines-divisions-in-syria-conflict?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=0963521f48-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-0963521f48-231491269&mc_cid=0963521f48&mc_eid=3999f18767

{patriotpowerednews.com} ~ President nObama announced sweeping new executive orders on gun regulations Tuesday at the White House... Within moments of those remarks, Republican Congressional offices issued press statements criticizing nObama’s unilateral moves to tighten gun restrictions. Left out of any Republican statements, however, was any promise to cut funding for nObama’s actions. No matter what the White House may propose, Congress still exercises the power of the purse. The president is acting with a complete disregard for the Constitutional limits of his own authority. This is not a responsible or an effective means at protecting the safety and security of the American people. The nObama Administration should focus on the job of the Executive Branch which is to enforce the laws of the land, not rewrite them.

{lidblog.com} ~ Yes America our new peace partner, Iran has a new message for us, “Up Yours!” After getting away with two missile tests which break UN resolutions... Iran now has unveiled an underground missile depot full of rockets that could carry a nuclear payload. The underground missile depot unveiled on state-run television showed the Emad precision-guided missiles, which were tested twice in recent months. Emad is an Iranian-designed, liquid-fuel, intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with a claimed range of 1,700 km (1,056 miles) and 750 kg (1,675 pounds) payload. The only reason to build and store those missiles is to deliver nuclear war heads. Like the two missile tests, this depot is not only a violation of the 2010 U.N. Security Council resolution, but a public smack in the face of the United States which ignored the two missile tests.        http://lidblog.com/nuke-this-america-iran-flaunts-underground-missile-depot/?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_campaign=77c1789c7a-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-77c1789c7a-291705165

What Did American Politics Look
like before Government Was Reviled?
GEORGE WILL
.
{nationalreview.com} ~ Soon, voters will have the opportunity and impertinence to insert themselves into the 2016 presidential conversation, which thus far has been the preoccupation of journalists and other abnormal people. The voting will begin in Iowa, thanks to Marie Jahn.
.
When, after 38 years as recorder for Plymouth County in northwest Iowa, Jahn decided to retire in February 1975, local Democrats decided to throw her a party. When it came to attracting a speaker, the best they could entice from their party’s national ranks was a former one-term governor of Georgia. According to Steven Hayward in The Age of Reagan:
.
The Fall of the Old Liberal Order: Carter’s obscurity was confirmed when he appeared on the syndicated TV game show What’s My Line? He stumped the panel, which not only didn’t recognize him, but failed to guess he was a state governor. When pollster George Gallup drew up a list of 38 potential Democratic presidential candidates in 1975, Carter’s name was not on the list.
.
Eleven months after the fete for Jahn, Jimmy Carter finished second in the hitherto obscure Iowa caucuses, behind “undecided.” This semi-triumph became his springboard to Olympus. The caucuses would never again be obscure. The moral of this cautionary tale is that voters can be startlingly disruptive. 
.
Perhaps they are somewhat less likely to be so today. Surprises might be more difficult to spring now that there is saturation journalism about presidential campaigns that are in high gear a year before the first votes are cast. 
.
But American politics often has had quirky aspects, as historian Morton Keller demonstrates in his America’s Three Regimes: A New Political History (2007). The Republican party, Keller says, became known as the Grand Old Party in the 1880s, when it was about 25 years young. In 1840, when William Henry Harrison, scion of wealthy Virginia planters, ran for president as the hardscrabble “log cabin and hard cider candidate,” the resulting paraphernalia included glass log cabins containing whiskey from Pittsburgh’s E. C. Booz distillery, which enriched American slang. The Era of Good Feelings, the decade after 1815, was, Keller says, more an Era of No Feelings: In the 1820 presidential election, Richmond’s 12,000 residents produced 17 votes. Only 568 of Baltimore’s 63,000 residents voted. Nine percent of those eligible in New Jersey voted. No one will ever call 2016 part of an Era of Good Feelings. If, however, Donald Trump’s vitriol pumps up the number of voters, this will at least lay to rest the canard that high voter turnout is a sign of social health.
.
Given the pandemic distaste for today’s politics, it is consoling to remember that things change. In the late 19th century, Robert Ingersoll, a.k.a. “The Great Agnostic,” was the nation’s most outspoken atheist and a leading Republican, a combination unlikely today. In the third decade of the 20th century, even a politician with national aspirations could be proudly parochial: The Democrats’ 1928 presidential nominee, New York governor Al Smith, reportedly said he would rather be a lamppost on Park Row than the governor of California, and when asked his thoughts about the problems of states west of the Mississippi, he supposedly replied, “What are the states west of the Mississippi?” In 1952, the Democratic presidential nominee, Adlai Stevenson, dismayed by the mainstream media’s conservatism, fretted about “a one-party press in a two-party country.”
.
Today, there is a sense in which there are few two-party states. In the presidential election 40 years ago, Carter against President Gerald Ford, 20 states were won by five points or less, including the six most populous states: California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, Ohio. (Note the absence of Florida, now the third-most populous state.) In 2012, just four states were decided by five points or less (North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Virginia). Today, Larry J. Sabato, Kyle Kondik, and Geoffrey Skelley of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics identify just seven states they consider “super-swingy”: Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, and Virginia, all of which voted for George W. Bush and Barack nObama twice, and Iowa and New Hampshire, which have voted Democratic in three of the last four elections. 
.
But, again, things change. “One session of the Connecticut Legislature in the 1790s,” Keller writes, “devoted itself primarily to imposing a tax on dogs. The next session was given over to discussing whether or not to remove that levy.” This was, of course, long ago, before government became ambitious, caring, and reviled.

 nObama's Gun Actions Lack Teeth, but Set Bad Precedent 
One of the cardinal lessons of shooting a firearm is to be aware of what's behind your target. In other words, don't fire down range if there's anything there you don't want to hit. It's clear from newly announced executive actions that Barack nObama knows exactly what's down range, and he's aiming for it — that would be you, law-abiding gun owner, as well as the constitutional restraints on his office. But take heart; it's not all bad news, and even the bad isn't as awful as it could be. nObama just needs to prove he's not a lame duck by doing something — anything — about those dreaded guns.
          As we noted yesterday, the Gun Salesman of the Decade has resolved to spend much of this year focused on guns, thus perpetuating the trend of more Americans buying firearms. His focus could also turn out to be very bad for his own side, both at the ballot box in November and for the advancement of more stringent gun restrictions, such as magazine capacity limits, outright bans and the like, none of which he actually tries to achieve with this series of actions.
          That isn't to say there's nothing to see here. Two items in his list bear particular focus: Mental health considerations and expanded background checks.
          nObama plans to allow health care providers to provide information about mentally ill patients to the FBI for its background check system. No one wants a mentally ill and potentially violent person to be able to buy a firearm in order to hurt or kill people, but we expect that nObama telling states and agencies to violate HIPAA and snitch on patients isn't going to survive in court. The sticking point has always been what constitutes sufficient mental problems to override Second Amendment rights. Furthermore, nObama's implied assertion that this will deter "gun violence" is dubious.  -The Patriot Post

 GOP Sends nObamaCare Repeal to nObama's Desk 
Fulfilling a promise made by Republicans in 2010, House Speaker Paul Ryan has dodged and weaved through congressional rules and is on the verge of passing a bill that would repeal nObamaCare and deny federal funds to Planned Parenthood. For the first time, an nObamaCare repeal — by way of a bill called Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act — will arrive on Barack nObama's desk. By waiting until the New Year, GOP lawmakers could use the process of budget reconciliation, a process that can be used only once a year because it dodges filibuster efforts from the minority.
          "This is our best shot to stand up for our principles on behalf of the American people," read a statement from Ryan's office. "'You can use this bill once a year, and we're using it for this,' Speaker Ryan said recently on Bill Bennett's show. In doing so, we're forcing the president to confront the failures of this law once and for all."
          For actual nObamaCare repeal, the bill will accomplish little other than important election-year symbolism. Republicans have not passed a replacement for nObamaCare, nor do they have enough votes to overcome the inevitable nObama veto. The Congressional Budget Office said Monday  the bill would trim the nation's deficit by a half-trillion dollars over 10 years. Furthermore, at a time when nObama is guiding the national debate through his gun control executive orders, Ryan is focusing on nObama's failed policies ahead of the 2016 election.

 Saudi Arabia and Iran Grow Heated as U.S. Steps Back 
The Middle East is splitting (again) along sectarian lines. Saudi Arabia and its allies United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed diplomatic ties with Iran over the weekend. It's part of a trend where Middle Eastern countries can no longer trust the United States to provide the stability it has provided in decades past. On Saturday, Saudi Arabia, a predominantly Sunni country, executed a Shia Sheikh, Nimr Baqr al-Nimr. The predominantly Shia Iran reacted violently, as a mob ransacked and set fire to the Saudi Embassy in Tehran. In the midst of this, the Obama administration, fresh off "ensuring peace" in the region through the Iran nuke deal, backed away from this squabble. "I guess the point is there's plenty of blame to go around," Barack Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest said, "and what we would like to see is all sides begin to take the kinds of steps that will deescalate and not inflame the tensions that are obviously pretty raw right now."           But this kind of hands-off approach is exactly what got the region to this point in the first place. Commentator Charles Krauthammer noted that America's modern relationship with the Saudis dates back to the 1930s, when the two countries agreed to trade oil for security. Now that nObama has emboldened Iran by giving it billions of dollars and dropping sanctions, Saudi Arabia must ensure its own peace. "I think they are acting fairly desperately," Krauthammer said.           The net effect will be greater insecurity for the West. While Middle Eastern counties focus on each other, the terrorism cells in the region can operate with greater freedom to carry out their aspirations.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ With nearly one in four U.S. residents in their prime-working years now not working and the median household income today now more than $4,000 lower than it was fifteen years ago, just why is it that the nObama regime continues to import foreigners at recklessly destructive levels?... Senator Jeff Sessions posted some important information on his website, predicting the continued negative impact that current immigration policies will have on the American citizens and their ability to earn and maintain the standard of living they have enjoyed in the past. We’re on a collision course with disaster, courtesy of our anti-American parasitic “leadership.” He published on his Senate website: After the 1880-1920 immigration wave, Congress reduced immigration. There was zero net growth in the immigrant population from 1920 through 1970 – in fact, the immigrant population shrank considerably over this time – even as the total population of the United States roughly doubled. Covering the entire time period from 1880-1970, the foreign-born population grew roughly 40 percent. By comparison, from 1970 through 2060, Census data shows the immigrant population will increase an unprecedented 715 percent – unless Congress reduces visa allocations.

{aim.org} ~ Based on actuarial tables, no insurance company is likely to issue him a life policy. He will be 33 years old on January 8, but over the past four years his weight has ballooned from 198 pounds to 287... He parties, he smokes, he drinks heavily. He runs a country-a role in which he has had to make some very stressful decisions, such as which family members to execute. All this seems to be taking a toll on his health. He is Kim Jong-un-the third generation of a family dynasty that has ruled North Korea since 1948. While his grandfather and North Korea’s founder, Kim Il Sung, brutally ruled the country until his death in 1994, it was thought Kim Jong-un-who took power after his father, Kim Jong Il, died in 2011-would be a kinder, gentler leader since he had been educated in Europe. Kim must have slept through his classes. Instead, he has revealed himself to be just as brutal as his grandfather.        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/the-incredible-bulk-is-alive-and-not-so-well-in-north-korea/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email010516&utm_medium=email

{wnd.com} ~ I have long marveled at liberals’ air of superiority and lack of self-reflection, which have always been particularly evident among liberal media elites and journalists... They tend to view themselves as sacrosanct and above scrutiny. Perhaps this attitude sprang from the British and, later, American tradition that the press is the Fourth Estate. It doesn’t just serve to inform the people and make them better contributors to the democratic process. It is the virtual fourth branch of government, operating as a watchdog on the formal branches to further check their potential abuses of power. It is a heady concept to believe you function to keep the powerful in check. It is even more so when no one has ever told you that you, too, need to be kept in check. As a result, some journalists seem to believe that what they do is so important that nothing will deter them from ambitiously exposing to the public every titillating morsel of information, even if that information might unnecessarily harm people or the national interest. To some of the most self-righteous among them, catering to the public’s “right to know” is like an unbending religious ritual that transcends every other value in the universe and justifies the vomiting of all information, no matter its actual value to the public or its likelihood of gratuitously harming others.        http://www.wnd.com/2016/01/the-delusional-self-importance-of-the-liberal-media/

{aei.org} ~ The Democratic and Republican presidential primary campaigns are now approaching the ultimate reality: voters actually voting... Given the priority of international terrorism in their minds, this is a critical opportunity to test whether the candidates truly understand the threat of radical Islam. The central question for US policy makers is how the terrorists and their state sponsors and other accomplices see us, and how we should see them. Too often, especially among Democrats but also for some Republicans, there is serious confusion about radical Islam’s true ramifications, thereby blinding us to the magnitude of its danger. Even worse, our misperceptions tie our hands in developing ways to protect innocent civilians at home, and our interests and allies abroad. Although communism and radical Islam differ in countless ways, they share one critical element: they are ideologies driven by an obsession to force the real world to match their preconceptions, whether of class conflict or superior religious belief. Terrorist attacks are simply manifestations of the ideology, the symptoms of the threat, not the threat itself. Accordingly, US policies that ignore the ideological driving force will fail, because they are not addressing the real menace.        http://www.aei.org/publication/terrorism-is-the-symptom-ideology-the-disease/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=010515

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Eighty-two leading Democrats have cosponsored a House Resolution (H.Res. 569) "Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States".... The Resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives by Democrat Donald S. Beyer (Virginia) on December 17, 2015 -- a mere 15 days after Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook gunned down 14 innocent Americans and wounded 23 in an ISIS-inspired terror attack at a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California. The House Resolution states, "the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes and rhetoric have faced physical, verbal, and emotional abuse because they were Muslim or believed to be Muslim," and the House of Representatives "expresses its condolences for the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes." What victims? Of all 1,149 anti-religious hate crimes reported in the United States in 2014, only 16.1% were directed against Muslims, according to the FBI. By contrast, over half of all anti-religious hate crimes were directed against Jews – 56.8%. The fewest, 8.6% of anti-religious hate crimes, were directed against Christians (Protestants and Catholics).

Among them were three campuses of the University of California system... The University of California, Irvine, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, San Diego. These universities give financial support and campus privileges to organizations that promote terrorist propaganda, specifically Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA). Both of these campus groups were created by the Muslim Brotherhood, the creator of Hamas, an organization which openly advocates for the destruction of the Jewish state and the genocide of the Jewish people. On November 25, we wrote to the presidents of each university named in our “Top Ten” report to urge them to withdraw their financial and institutional support for student organizations which promote terrorist agendas. The president of the University of California and former head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, did not reply to our letter but assigned a response to the Executive Director of Student Affairs at UC Irvine. What follows is our second letter to President Napolitano and then an exchange between the UC Irvine administrator and our campus director, Sara Dogan, followed by our initial letter to President Napolitano.        http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/261349/cal-support-terrorists-david-horowitz-freedom-center

Two Weaknesses Could Undo
 the Islamist Movement
Daniel Pipes
.
{danielpipes.org} ~ The Islamist movement may appear stronger than ever, but a close look suggests two weaknesses that might doom it, and perhaps quickly.
.
Its strengths are obvious. The Taliban, Al-Shabaab, Boku Haram, and ISIS take Islamism – the ideology calling for Islamic law to be applied in its entirety and severity – to unbearable extremes, rampaging and brutalizing their way to power. Pakistan could fall into their hands. The ayatollahs of Iran enjoy a second wind thanks to the Vienna deal. Qatar has the highest per capita income in the world. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is becoming Turkey's dictator. Islamist operatives swarm the Mediterranean toward Europe.
.

.
But weaknesses within, especially squabbling and disapproval, could undo the Islamist movement.
.
Infighting became vicious in 2013, when Islamists abruptly stopped their prior pattern of cooperation among themselves and instead began internecine fighting. Yes, the Islamist movement as a whole shares similar goals, but it also contains different intellectuals, groups, and parties with variant ethnic affiliations, tactics, and ideologies.
.
Its internal divisions have spread fast and far. These include Sunnis vs. Shiites, notably in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen; monarchists vs. republicans, notably in Saudi Arabia; non-violent vs. violent types, notably in Egypt; modernizers vs medieval revivalists, notably in Tunisia; and plain old personal differences, notably in Turkey. These divisions obstruct the movement by turning its guns inward.
.
The dynamic here is ancient: As Islamists approach power, they fight amongst themselves for dominance. Differences that hardly mattered when in the wilderness take on great importance as the stakes get higher. In Turkey, for example, the politician Erdoğan and the religious leader Fethullah Gülen cooperated until they dispatched their common enemy, the military, from politics, when they turned against each other.
.
Unpopularity, the second problem, may be the biggest peril for the movement. As populations experience Islamist rule first hand, they reject it. It's one thing to believe in the abstract about the benefits of Islamic law and quite another to suffer its deprivations, ranging from the Islamic State's totalitarian horrors to the comparatively benign emerging dictatorship in Turkey.
.
Signs of this discontent include the large majorities of Iranians who reject the Islamic Republic, the wave of exiles out of Somalia, and the massive Egyptian demonstrations of 2013 protesting a single year of the Muslim Brotherhood in power. As with fascist and communist rule, Islamist sovereignty often leads to people voting with their feet.
.

Should these two tendencies hold, the Islamist movement is heading for trouble. Some analysts already see the Islamist era having ended and the emergence of something new from its wreckage. For example, the Sudanese scholar Haidar Ibrahim Ali argues that a "post-Islamization" era has begun, when Islamism's "vitality and attractiveness have been exhausted even among the most ardent of its supporters and enthusiasts."
.
The enemies of Islamism have much work ahead. Muslims must both fight this movement and develop a compelling alternative to its goal of implementing Islamic law, explaining constructively what it means to be a Muslim in 2016. Non-Muslims can serve as their helpful auxiliaries, providing everything from applause to funds to guns.
.
Islamism's mounting problems offer grounds for confidence but not for smugness, as another reversal in course could take place at any time. But if current trends hold, the Islamist movement will have been limited, much as fascism and communism before it, damaging Western civilization, not destroying it.
.
Whatever the trend, defeating Islamism remains the challenge.

 nObama's New Year Resolution: Targets Guns 
Entering the New Year, Barack nObama is scheduled to meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss how his administration can take executive action to create more gun control. In his weekly address Jan. 2, nObama pulled out all the rhetorical stops, evoking the Sandy Hook massacre and the shooting of former Rep. Gabby Giffords to say that he would make it a priority to use his phone and pen to enact more gun control regulation against the American people because Congress wouldn't. "We know that we can't stop every act of violence," nObama said. "But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something — anything — to protect our kids from gun violence? A few months ago, I directed my team at the White House to look into any new actions I can take to help reduce gun violence."
          While nObama's cronies guesstimate out how far he can go, the office of House Speaker Paul Ryan said the executive branch hasn't communicated its specific gun control aspirations to Congress. Seems like that would have been a prerequisite before nObama declared that the legislative body refused to act. Such a move from nObama guarantees that he will push Americans to continue purchasing firearms in record numbers before the feds descend with their regulations. nObama opined that he received letters from "responsible gun owners" (as if the only gun owners that are responsible are the ones who agree with nObama) asking him to take action on gun violence. But the person acting irresponsibly is nObama. The federal government has all the tools necessary to curb gun violence, all the laws already on the books to crack down on straw purchases, but nObama's administration refuses to act. And because of that, criminals are allowed to walk free while gun-toting lovers of Liberty are viewed with deep suspicion. But nObama cares nothing of the law; he only has his ideology to push.  -The Patriot Post

 Marine Vet Stands Up to DMV Red Tape 
If "Pastafarians," people who satirize religion by claiming to be worshipers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, can get their department of motor vehicles to let them wear colanders on their heads while getting their driver's license photo taken, then government can at least accommodate a veteran wanting to display his service to his homeland. Last month, Marine Corps vet Alex Morales went to his local DMV in California to get a new license while he was wearing a baseball cap with "USMC" emblazoned across it in red. Ahead of him, the DMV was photographing a group of men, probably Sikhs, who were wearing turbans. Here's how Morales' wife, Henrietta, described what happened next in a Facebook post:

"Alex was asked to take his hat off to have his picture taken. He said 'no', and 'no' again when asked the second time. When he was asked why he would not remove his hat he said, 'those men didn't remove their head wear, I shouldn't either'. It was explained that this was their attire and their religion. Alex told the DMV person that what he had on was his attire and when he entered the Marines he declared an oath to the USA, and one nation under God, so that his oath was under God so just as good as his religion."

Eventually, the DMV allowed Morales to stand for his photo, USMC hat and all. Afterwards, Henrietta Morales said some of the DMV staff quietly applauded Morales' stand. Marine vet: 1. Bureaucratic tangle at the DMV: 0.   -The Patriot Post

 Ranchers Take on the Feds in Oregon 
A group of armed activists took over the closed and unoccupied headquarters building at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, part of an escalating conflict over land use out West. Rancher Ammon Bundy is leading the group, and if his name sounds familiar it's because he's the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who had a similar standoff with the feds in 2014. We wrote at the time to choose your mascot carefully, and we'd advise the same now. Essentially, this dispute arises from two things: First, the truly unjust treatment and sentencing of Dwight Hammond and his son Steven, ranchers punished for arson after they managed controlled burns on their property a decade ago; second, the use of the federal land at the wildlife refuge — Bundy and the other ranchers claim the feds have unlawfully taken it, and the ranchers should be able to continue using it.
          Many leftists are demanding that the ranchers' actions in recent days be considered terrorism. After all, Barack nObama and his cadres have been stoking fears of right-wing extremism since taking office; this is just "proof." But no one has been held hostage or hurt, much less killed, and the ranchers are so far peaceably assembled. There's no question the federal government possesses far too much land in the West, but what is the appropriate response? Clearly, many ranchers have had enough, and they're willing to take up arms to stop the abuse — even, apparently, if it provokes a violent government response.    -The Patriot Post

{frontpagemag.com} ~ According to recently released figures from the State Dept., the United States has let in a miniscule number of Christian refugees from Syria — only 34 — during the four years since the Islamic State began its campaign of mass slaughter... Put differently, although Christians amount for 10 percent of Syria’s population—and so should at least be 10 percent of the refugees accepted into the States—only two percent of those accepted are Christians. This disparity is being ignored by influential U.S. Christian groups.  The Church World Service (CWS) and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops have both called for the resettlement of 100,000 Syrian refugees in the United States next year. Yet advocacy for especially persecuted Christians is lacking among these U.S. Christian organizations. The CWS, for example, does not  even mention persecuted Christians on its website’s call to help Syrian refugees; it primarily features pictures of Muslims. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops — which touts itself as the world’s largest refugee resettlement organization and even received $80 million from the federal government in 2014 for its Migration Fund — also often fails  to mention Christians in its public advocacy for the resettlement of Syrian refugees.

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ It’s no secret that Al Jazeera, a Middle Eastern news publication, consistently portrays white Americans in a disparaging light... Earlier this year, the network released one of the most famous America-hating videos ever with the patronizing title- “Americans Show Why USA is the #1 Country in the World,” and to add insult to injury, the video was released on Independence day. Just last week, the network has found another way to ridicule “white America.” And their victim this time is the American icon, Peyton Manning. Deborah Davies, an Al Jazeera journalist, created quite the stir last week by releasing a documentary with allegations about the Denver Broncos quarterback. The documentary claimed that the football player had used performance enhancing drugs while recovering from a neck injury.  Her first source, Charlie Sly, an Indiana pharmacist has recently recanted his original statements regarding the news story. He had claimed that human growth hormone (HGH) was delivered to the manning’s home and was prescribed for his wife. Even though Sly has recanted, Davies told CNN on Sunday that there is another source. However, the other source is conveniently confidential.

{cato.org} ~ There are no good guys to cheer for in the militia takeover of an Oregon federal office building on January 2... The ostensible issue is the re-sentencing of two Oregon ranchers–Dwight Hammond and son Steven Hammond–for arson, while the underlying issue is federal land ownership of much of the West. The arson fires lit by the Hammonds in 2001 and 2006 may have actually represented sensible land management, but the Hammonds lost the high ground by their failure to coordinate with the government agency managing the land they burned. Prescribed fire is a tool used to improve wildlife habitat, increase land productivity, and control wildfire. The 2001 fire aimed at improving productivity, but the government says the ranchers didn’t bother informing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) they planned to burn until two hours after they lit the fire. While they lit the fire on their own land, it escaped and burned 139 acres of federal land, but that burning probably did not do serious damage to the grassland and they put the fire out themselves. The 2006 fire was more questionable. A wildfire was burning on BLM land near the Hammond’s ranch, so to defend their land they lit a backfire on their own land. That would be standard procedure except, again, they didn’t tell anyone and when their fire crossed over onto federal land it endangered firefighters who the Hammonds apparently knew were located between the wildfire and their backfire. Due to severe fire hazards, the county had a no-burn rule which the Hammonds apparently violated, but this was hardly a terrorist act. http://www.cato.org/blog/no-good-guys-west

{nicedeb.wordpress.com} ~ In a powerful “Kelly File” exclusive, Mark “Oz” Geist, Kris “Tanto” Paronto and John “Tig” Tiegen reflected on the 2012 attack and reacted to Michael Bay’s much-anticipated film... Paronto said that the movie left him drained, because it brought him right back to the besieged American diplomatic compound and nearby CIA annex. “It was a part of me that I relived on the screen, and I realized how much I’d been missing,” Paronto said. “It’s amazing being with your brothers and fighting … being there and being with them and having the faith that you’re going to defeat all the obstacles.”        https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/heroes-of-benghazi-13-hours-nobody-comes/

{freebeacon.com} ~ Lawmakers are demanding that the nObama administration disclose how it used private communications that were intercepted during a massive spy operation on Israel that included private conversations with members of Congress...  according to letters sent to the National Security Agency and White House. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) petitioned President Barack nObama late Monday afternoon, demanding the administration reveal how it used information obtained during secret surveillance of Israeli leaders, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Reports emerged last week that the NSA’s spy operation picked up private communications between Israeli officials, members of Congress, and U.S. Jewish community leaders. The information reportedly centered on Israeli efforts to halt the nuclear negotiations. The White House reportedly did not take steps to ensure that these political conversations were omitted.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ The flow rate of Central American rabble across the Mexican border, just in the form of juveniles or family units, is estimated by the Center for Immigration Studies to be in excess of  ten thousand individuals per month over the last several months... Over the weekend, Jeh Johnson’s DHS claims to have gone on an offensive, picking up 121 illegal aliens from Central America who, for whatever reason, happened to have been targeted for repatriation. Jeh Johnson claims that more raids will be forthcoming as well, more drops in more buckets, we can assume. As it relates specifically to a single month’s Central American juvenile-centered traffic, that’s a less than 1 in 82 odds of being deported. And the pool of candidates is much greater than those of a single month, so the chances are exponentially better than what are already casino-busting chances of being able to stay in the States. For most they will be free from the short arms of DHS and allowed to remain undisturbed on the public dole in America as the system slowly works its way around to their distant hearing date. Johnson has hardly achieved anything worthy of congratulations, to have finally engaged in an enforcement activity remotely related to the border security mission of his agency, a mission that he should have been allowing his agents to conduct all along. Johnson must recognize a need to be able to make a claim that he is doing his job. Something other than a desire to honor his oath or secure the nation must be at play for this dishonorable man who despises America.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24449

{sharylattkisson.com} ~ The House Benghazi Committee has announced some big names are about to testify behind closed doors, including former director of the CIA David Petraeus... As I write in “Stonewalled,” in the immediate aftermath of the Benghazi attacks, Petraeus first drew ire from some administration colleagues for not reading from the Carney-nObama-Clinton-Rice book of fiction: While they’re pushing the spontaneous protest narrative, he’s disclosing full information on the suspected al-Qaeda links, to House Intelligence Committee members at a classified briefing, according to those present. Then the talking points his agency approves for public dissemination on September 14 say that the CIA provided warnings on September 10 that the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, could come under attack and that Benghazi was in a precarious state. Clinton’s state department sees the inclusion of that damning information in the CIA’s original proposed talking points as a “knee-jerk cover-your-ass moment” on Petraeus’s part. One official later tells me, “We thought, Why are you guys [Petraeus’s CIA] throwing us under the bus? . . . They made it seem like the State Department was given a warning they ignored. But no specific warning was given.”        https://sharylattkisson.com/petraeus-and-other-big-name-witnesses-to-testify-to-benghazi-committee/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29

Who was the cleric Saudis executed
--- and why his death matters

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Saudi Arabia on Saturday executed 47 men convicted of terrorism-related offenses and political activism, including a prominent Shiite cleric critical of the kingdom's Sunni rulers.
.
The execution of Nimr al-Nimr triggered international condemnation, with the harshest reaction coming from regional adversary Iran, where hardliners stormed the Saudi embassy in Tehran and set the building on fire. Saudi authorities said the execution was a judicial matter.
.
The incident is the latest crisis to rock ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, two powers vying for everything from political influence to oil market share. The OPEC members are currently engaged in a proxy confrontation in conflicts from Syria to Yemen.
.
Here's an overview of the actors in this confrontation and what may happen next.
.
Q: Who was Nimr al-Nimr?
.
A: Nimr al-Nimr, 57, a Shiite cleric from Saudi's oil-rich Eastern Province, was a well-known figure at anti-government demonstrations and criticized Saudi rulers in some of his sermons for their treatment of the kingdom's Shiite minority.
.
In 2009, he threatened to lead Saudi Arabia's Shiite Muslims to secession, provoking a government crackdown in the minority's eastern heartland. In his sermons, al-Nimr was critical of Sunni and Shiite autocratic rulers alike, though he reserved some of his most scathing attacks to the Saudi and Bahraini royal families.
.
In a meeting with U.S. diplomats in 2008, al-Nimr sought to distance himself from Tehran, according to a cable released by WikiLeaks. Iran, like other countries, acts out of self- interest, and Saudi Shiites shouldn't expect Iranian support based on sectarian unity, he said. The report describes him as a "second-tier political player" in the Eastern Province.
.
He was arrested in 2012, a year after popular uprisings swept parts of the Middle East, and sentenced to death in 2014.
.
Q: Why does his execution matter?
.
A: While Sunni-majority Saudi Arabia largely escaped the unrest that spread across the Arab world in 2011, the country's Shiites, who say they suffer discrimination, have occasionally protested and clashed with security forces. Most Saudi Shiites live near some of the world's largest oil fields in the eastern region, and according to the CIA World Facebook, make up between 10 percent and 15 percent of Saudi Arabia's population.
.
The execution "institutionalizes tension in Saudi Arabia by creating a symbol for Shiite grievances," Ibrahim Fraihat, senior foreign policy fellow at the Brookings Doha Center, said in an interview. "Not many people in the past saw him as the representative of the Shiite community, but now he has become one of the symbols of the tension between Shiite and Sunnis."
.
In 2015, Islamic State militants took advantage of the Saudi sectarian fault-lines and struck Shiite mosques in the Eastern Province.
.
Shiites are a majority in neighboring Bahrain, a small island that's home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet. Bahraini authorities regularly accuse Iran of supporting extremist Shiite groups, a charge the Islamic Republic denies. Hours after al-Nimr's death, scores of his supporters there took to the streets in protest, Agence France-Presse reported.
.
Q: Why carry out the execution given regional tensions?
.
A: Given the complex dynamics in the region in Yemen, Syria and Iraq, al-Nimr's execution was an illustration of Saudi Arabia's "get tough" policy against Iran and internal dissent, said Scott Lucas, an Iran analyst and professor of international politics at Birmingham University in Britain.
.
"The Saudis deliberately crossed the line by executing him, and to add insult to injury they used the rhetoric that lumps him in with al-Qaeda terrorists," he said.
.
Q: How did Iran react?
.
A: Iranian protesters armed with rocks and firebombs massed outside the Saudi embassy in Tehran late Saturday and set parts of the building on fire. A small group stormed the premises, ransacking offices, and several were arrested, Tehran police chief Hossein Sajedinia told the state-run Islamic Students' News Agency.
.
On Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saudi rulers will face "the divine hand of revenge" for their actions. Khamenei, the country's highest authority and a regular critics of Saudi policies, stopped short of saying Iran would take action.
.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, meanwhile, suggested he didn't seek to escalate the confrontation. While he denounced the execution, he condemned the attack on the Saudi embassy as unjustifiable.
.
This incident might "spiral quickly into domestic fight" in Iran between hardline and more moderate factions close to Rouhani, Lucas said.
.
Q: Will tensions between Iran and Saudi escalate further?
.
A: "The ball is in the Iranian court. If we see any signal of asymmetrical warfare from the Iranians, any escalation in Iranian support for Houthis in Yemen, anything that appears to be a step-up of Hezbollah activity, which appears to be targeting Saudi in any way," Lucas said. "But I don't think it's going to happen."
.
At least one commentator, London-based Lebanese political satirist Karl Sharro, looks for tensions to simmer, not boil over, for now. Saudi Arabia and Iran are "like two guys in a bar shouting at each other for a long time, but not quite ready to take it outside just yet," he tweeted on Sunday.

{jihadwatch.org} ~ A series of Iranian officials vowed on Friday to expand Tehran’s missile capabilities, a challenge to the United States which has threatened to impose new sanctions... even as the vast bulk of its measures against Iran are due to be lifted under a nuclear deal. “As long as the United States supports Israel we will expand our missile capabilities,” the Revolutionary Guards’ second-in-command, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency. Defence Minister Hossein Dehqan said Iran would boost its missile program and had never agreed to restrictions on it. “Iran’s missile capabilities have never been the subject of negotiations with the Americans and will never be,” he was quoted as saying by Press TV, an Iranian state channel.       http://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/01/iran-defies-obama-pledges-to-ramp-up-missile-program

{constitutionrising.com} ~ The government hijackers in DC do nothing but lie to the American people. One of their more infamous and successful acts of subterfuge has been the whole Central American “refugee” surge into the United States... which defies logic as presented by the regime and their media poodles. From the beginning, their ridiculous assertion that that these dirt-poor families would have access to $5,000, the equivalent of an entire year’s income in one lump sum, and hand it over to traffickers to take their child to the US is laughable. It’s the kind of garbage suitable only for Democrat consumption. Maybe they’ll just eat next year, unless they need to transport a second kid, then they’ll eat in 2018. They can hope the underwear doesn’t wear out or their feet grow too fast. While it’s possible that relatives are sending some of the cash, it’s also quite likely that it is American taxpayer  money that is funding our own invasion. The money is likely coming in the form of foreign aid or otherwise laundered by the nObama regime into the pockets of corrupt operatives on both sides of our border, both in and outside of various government agencies. loose lips-Joe Biden made a personal trip in 2014 to make sure the tap was turned on and the presidents of three Central American nations met with nObama personally in the White House to discuss the “situation.”

{constitutionrising.com} ~ The Environmental Protection Agency is quite good a moving an agenda of energy removal, litigation, intimidation, authoritarian encroachment and power grabbing... What they aren’t so great at doing just happens to be their supposed mission, protecting the environment. They gave themselves a pass on the 2015 Animas River spill that would have landed a private company in serious financial jeopardy and their officers in prison. They are now looking the other way as methane continues to pour out into the atmosphere from a leak in Porter Ranch, in Southern California. Interestingly, in all of their regulatory oversight zeal, the EPA chose to allow a safety valve which was removed from the now leaking pipe to have never been reinstalled. It was removed in 1979, roughly thirty-six years ago. A responsible advocate agency for the environment would have required a replacement to have been installed long ago, but advocacy at the EPA is only conducted on the behalf of the Marxists and the expansion of the EPA’s own power mechanisms.      http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24399

{jihadwatch.org} ~ What? An imam? Inconceivable! How could a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it to others properly get the crazy, Islamophobic idea that jihad had something to do with killing Infidels?... How could he have misunderstood Islam so spectacularly, and in such an utterly unprecedented way? John hanoi-Kerry and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops should team up forthwith and send an Expert on Islam (say, some learned non-Muslim State Department wonk, or an Eastern Catholic bishop who speaks Arabic and can thus communicate with this poor, benighted cleric, who almost certainly knows Arabic in addition to his native language) over to Russia to teach this imam the true, peaceful nature of Islam. This misunderstanding can be easily cleared up as soon as the two of them sit down together and open up the Qur’an, and breathe in its soothing words of peace. According to the prosecutor’s office, “during Islamilov’s detention in his office in the house of worship on December 12 FSB officers discovered an automatic pistol, a handgun, three ball cartridges, a fragmentation hand grenade, a fusee for hand grenades and 737 grams of TNT.”…

However, the administration quietly walked back its announcement, telling lawmakers that the sanctions would be indefinitely delayed. The move sparked a fierce backlash among prominent congressional leaders who have served as chief advocates for the administration’s efforts to ink a nuclear deal with Iran.        http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-deal-backers-embarrassed-by-obama-admins-sanctions-blunder/

Paul Ryan is promoting the bill and pointing at his support for it as proof that he’s busy fighting nObama’s radical agenda. Problem is, nObama’s radical agenda is only able to succeed because Paul Ryan green lighted it. The Racine GOP hasn’t said a word about the disastrous Omnibus big government, big spending bill Paul Ryan forced down the throats of taxpayers last month.     http://libertynews.com/2016/01/republican-party-in-paul-ryans-district-thinks-were-all-idiots/

{bizpacreview.com} ~ House Republicans plan to start the new year by fulfilling a long-awaited promise: sending a bill to repeal nObamacare to the president’s desk... And not just repeal it, but also replace it with a new plan–but what will that plan be? Speaker Paul Ryan is expected to take up a “budget reconciliation” bill that the Senate passed before Christmas when the House reconvenes Tuesday, according to a Monday Fox News report. Before the holiday break, the House sent a reconciliation bill to the Senate that simultaneously repealed Obamacare and defunded Planned Parenthood–both core issues to many conservatives.

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ It is far from clear why senior nObama administration officials told The Wall Street Journal that under President Barack nObama, the National Security Agency has been aggressively spying not only on Israeli officials but on US citizens and lawmakers who communicate with Israeli officials. Perhaps they were trying to make Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu look like a fool.
.
After all, the article concludes that the NSA intercepts of these communications "revealed one surprise."
.
"Mr. Netanyahu and some of his allies voiced confidence they could win enough votes" in Congress to scuttle nObama's nuclear deal with Iran.
.
Ha ha. What dummies.
.
If their goal was simply to show that the White House has more leverage over Democratic lawmakers than the Israeli government does, then the article overshot the mark.
.
Beyond expressing the administration's contempt for Netanyahu, the Journal's article showed that Netanyahu isn't the only one the administration sneers at.
.
It sneers at the American public and at members of Congress as well. And in so doing, it sneers at and deliberately breaks US law and tramples the US Constitution.
.
Under US law, American intelligence gathering agencies, including the NSA, are only permitted to spy on US citizens in order to protect US national security.
.
Under the US Constitution, the administration is arguably prohibited from spying on US lawmakers.
.
And yet, according to the Journal report, to advance its diplomatic opening to Iran, the administration has knowingly and deliberately spied on both law-abiding US citizens who posed no risk to US national security and on US lawmakers engaged in their lawful, constitutional duties.
.
As the criminal activity was characterized by the report, to protect nObama's nuclear talks with the Iranians, Netanyahu was marked as a top intelligence target for the NSA. The NSA monitored all of his communications and all communications of his senior officials — most notably Ambassador Ron Dermer.
.
The report explains that the NSA's "targeting of Israeli leaders and officials also swept up the contents of some of their private conversations with US lawmakers and American-Jewish groups. That raised fears — an "Oh sh** moment, one senior US official said — that the executive branch would be accused of spying on Congress."
.
That "Oh sh** moment" didn't make the administration pull back, or order the NSA to follow the law and destroy all communications between Israeli officials and US lawmakers. Rather the administration decided to suffice with winks and nods to make sure that the NSA understood that it should make law breaking an official policy and continue to share deliberately the communications it had mistakenly shared with the White House.
.
As the Journal report put it, "White House officials believed the intercepted information could be valuable to counter Mr. Netanyahu's campaign to convince Congress to scuttle nObama's nuclear capitulation to Tehran. They also recognized that asking for it was politically risky. So, wary of a paper trail stemming from a request, the White House let the NSA decide what to share and what to withhold, officials said. "We didn't say, 'Do it,' a senior US official said. 'We didn't say, "Don't do it."'" Cute. But probably illegal.
.
The picture painted by the Journal article is of an administration that made massive, continuous and deliberate use of intercepted conversations between lawmakers and private citizens with Israeli officials.
.
Consider the administration's indignant fury when news broke on January 21 of last year that the Republican congressional leaders Sen. Mitch McCon-nell and House Speaker John backstabber-Boehnor had invited Netanyahu to address the joint Houses about the dangers of the Iran nuclear deal.
.
nObama and his advisers insisted that they were blindsided by the news. Yet, on Wednesday, the Journal published a report that strongly indicated that through its spying on lawmakers, the White House learned of the plan to invite Netanyahu to speak before Congress before Netanyahu found out about it.
.
The Journal reported that backstabber-Boehner and McCon-nell met on January 8 and decided to invite Netanyahu to address a joint session. Recognizing the sensitivity of the issue, they told only their closest advisers about their plan. On January 9, backstabber-Boehner called Dermer and raised the issue for the first time.
.
Since we now know that the NSA was monitoring all of Dermer's communications — including his communications with US lawmakers — it appears to follow that NSA intercepted backstabber-Boehner's call to Dermer.
.
According to the Journal, the White House's demand for intelligence on Israel was so intense that the NSA was transferring transcripts of intercepted calls within six hours of their interception.
.
Two weeks after Netanyahu's March 4 address before the joint Houses of Congress, the Journal reported that the US was concerned about Israeli spying on the nuclear talks with Iran.
.
The article began, "Soon after the US and other major powers entered negotiations last year... with Iran, senior White House officials learned Israel was spying on the closed-door talks."
.
It continued, "The espionage didn't upset the White House as much as Israel's sharing of inside information with US lawmakers and others."
.
The article went on to describe the content of briefings Dermer gave US lawmakers in late 2013 detailing Israel's concerns about the interim nuclear deal the US was then concluding with the Iranians. Although it was attributed to congressional sources who participated in the briefings, now that we know the administration was spying on US lawmakers communicating with Israeli officials, it is reasonable to suspect that the administration learned of the briefings from its illegal espionage against US lawmakers.
.
In Wednesday's article, we learned that last summer, as Congress prepared to vote — or not to vote — on nObama's nuclear deal with Iran, the administration intercepted communications carried out between Israeli officials and private citizens as well as Democratic lawmakers.
.
From these intercepted communications, the administration learned Israel's pitch for Democratic lawmakers in its efforts to convince them to oppose the deal.
.
According to the article, among other things, Israeli officials asked the wavering lawmakers, "How can we get your vote? What is it going to take?" Given Israel's failure to convince a significant number of Democratic senators to oppose the deal, the suspicion arises that the administration read the answers and used the ill-begotten information as a means of blocking Israel from securing Democratic opposition to nObama's nuclear deal.
.
It ought to go without saying that the administration's massive efforts to block information about the most radical US foreign policy initiative since World War II from US lawmakers speaks volumes about how nObama and his colleagues assessed the public's position on Iran generally and nObama's nuclear talks with the mullocracy specifically.
.
The nuclear deal with Iran endangers the US directly.
.
It empowers the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism financially, diplomatically and militarily. Iran declared war against the US 37 years ago and has been calling for the destruction of America and supporting terrorist attacks against the US and its allies ever since.
.
As to those allies, the nuclear deal with Iran specifically, and the nObama administration's decision to embrace Iran as a potential ally more generally, place Israel in jeopardy. So, too, it endangers all of the US's traditional Arab allies.
.
Yet rather than reconsider its strategic goal of courting Iran at the expense of its own national security and that of its closest allies, the nObama administration determined that its most urgent goal was to scuttle Israeli attempts to warn lawmakers and the US public about the dangers of the deal. Rather than redouble its commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, the nObama administration launched an intensive espionage operation against Israel, its American- Jewish supporters and US lawmakers to diminish their ability to prevent the deal from being concluded or implemented.
.
The timing of the report is odd. nObama blocked Congress from even voting on his nuclear deal four months ago, and ever since he has been choking on his victory. With each passing day it becomes clearer that Netanyahu was right about the danger of the deal and nObama was wrong, and deliberately misleading.
.
Four months later, Iran still refuses to approve or implement the deal. The American hostages it holds continue to languish in its prisons. Its nuclear sites remain closed to international inspectors. Its ballistic missile program is moving forward and no one takes seriously the administration's announcement this week that it will pursue sanctions at the UN Security Council against Iran for its recent ballistic missile tests.
.
For its part, Iran is so emboldened by the deal that last week it shot a missile across the Straits of Hormuz in close proximity to a US naval ship. The ayatollahs are convinced that nObama will suffer any and all indignities to keep up the fiction that he has a nuclear deal with them. They are certain that rather than acknowledge his mistake, nObama will ground Congress and Israel to the ground.
.
And yet now, as Iran daily humiliates nObama with its unbridled aggression, that senior administration officials chose to brag to Wall Street Journal reporters about how they spied on Israel in breach of nObama's pledge not to spy on leaders of US allied nations. It is now, when nObama's opening to Iran is a self-evident failure, that they chose to share how they broke US law by spying on US citizens and abused the president's constitutional authority by spying on US lawmakers.
.
Hours after the Journal article was published, Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, announced that his committee will review how the NSA handled its intercepts of congressional communications with Israeli officials.
.
Certainly, the Intelligence Committee should aggressively pursue the issue. For the fact is that the administration's arguably unconstitutional moves to block Congress from exercising oversight over nObama's foreign policy is not limited to his nuclear outreach to Iran.
.
Last month, Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry said the climate change deal the US and the world powers concluded in Paris was drafted in a way that would deny Congress oversight power over the deal. In other words, a common thread linking the administration's policies from the Middle East to the ozone layer is its desire to disempower Congress.
.
Israelis reasonably concentrate their attention on how stories affect them. So most of the discussion in Israel following the Journal's report on Wednesday revolved around what the story means for the prospects of better relations with the administration in its final year in power.
.
But in truth, the story wasn't really about Israel. It was about an administration so contemptuous of US lawmakers and citizens that its senior officials have no compunction about admitting that they are breaking the law. They brazenly admit that they are undertaking unlawful spying operations against private citizens and lawmakers and in so doing conducting a massive abuse of presidential powers while trampling the spirit and arguably the letter of the US Constitution.
.
And they expect that no one will call them to task for it.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ For most conservatives, even the prospect of being in the same room with the Marxist  open borders anti-American cockroach Rep Luis Gutierrez is enough to trigger a gag reflex, let alone the thought of actual physical contact... Not so for Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) who was all touchy-feely with Gutierrez during hearings back in 2013. It’s an interesting statement among all of the “my esteemed colleague from” here and “the gentleman from” there overdone structured civility that Gowdy called Gutierrez over for semi-private moment. Gowdy chairs the dysfunctional and dangerously inept committee charged with making certain that our borders are secure and functioning properly. It’s odd and one would argue counter-productive for him to invite the cockroach Rep Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), one of the chief protagonists assaulting the American people in favor of illegals, over to provide him with what certainly look to be some type of assurances. It’s too bad he isn’t so quick to offer assurances to the American workers and citizens that their jobs and their nation won’t be lost to those who are wandering over here intent on stealing them. Of course neither of the complicit Congressmen would dare to label what is happening as stealing. They prefer to infer some kind of squatters’ rights as being exercised by “the undocumented.”        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24290

{constitutionrising.com} ~ The UN oligarchs utilized the initial portion of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development document to lay out in general terms and establish the false legitimacy for their imposition of a world government under the United Nations, what they refer to by the euphemism of Sustainable Development... They detail their faux-humanitarian, social equity, Marxist control objectives under a usurpation of the United States and other world governments under the mantle of UN one world government. Item #21 in the document  states, “The new Goals and targets will come into effect on 1 January 2016 and will guide the decisions we take over the next 15 years.” That date has now passed, so we must assume that, in accordance with their devious scheme, they now see us as being in the countdown of our final fifteen years. That transition to their New World Order system is not universally viewed as something positive, particularly among the free men and women of the United States and other Western developed nations. Other aspects of the globalist plot which are described in the initial portions of the document were discussed in previous articles. From that general discussion the UN oligarchs progressed to other related issues and some greater specificity as to the nature of how their attacks on the American people and the world will be carried out.

{wnd.com} ~ Reports from Iran say the Saudi Arabian embassy has been attacked by protesters and set ablaze after Riyadh executed 47 people including a prominent Shia critic of the Saudi regime... In addition, a Saudi consulate in Mashad was stormed by Iranian protesters and the Saudi flag was reportedly taken down. The attacks Saturday, just hours after Saudi Arabia executed Nimr al-Nimr, a top Shi’ite cleric along with 46 others in 12 different cities. Some were killed by firing squad, while others were beheaded amid strong protests by the Iranian government. Lebanon’s Supreme Islamic Shi’ite Council called Nimr’s execution a “grave mistake”, and the Hezbollah group termed it an assassination as Shi’ites took to the streets in protest from Tehran to Kashmir. Shi’ites in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province marched through Nimr’s home district of Qatif shouting “down with the Al Saud,” and several hundred gathered in nearby Bahrain, a Sunni-ruled island kingdom allied to Saudi Arabia.       http://www.wnd.com/2016/01/iranians-storm-set-ablaze-saudi-embassy/

Cargill reps stated the workers were fired only after "multiple attempts were made to discuss the situation with local Somali employees without a successful resolution, including a Tuesday meeting at the plant management’s request." The Muslim workers claim Cargill Meat Solutions told them earlier this month they were no longer allowed to use the designated room at the plant to pray, and instead were required to pray at home. I would say thats tuff. They go by company rules not theirs.

At least six women have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. One of the first was Kathleen Willey, who made headlines in 1998 when she told the world that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her in the Oval Office during a meeting. Willey added that Hilly has continually tried to silence the women who have been assaulted or harassed by Bill. In addition to multiple accusations of sexual harassment, a woman named Juanita Broaddrick claims that Mr. Clinton raped her in 1978 during a convention in Little Rock.

{activistpost.com} ~ What happens when radioactive byproduct from the Manhattan Project comes into contact with an “underground fire” at a landfill?... Surprisingly, no one actually knows for sure; but residents of Bridgeton, Missouri, near the West Lake and Bridgeton Landfills — just northwest of the St. Louis International Airport — may find out sooner than they’d like. And that conundrum isn’t the only issue for the area. Contradicting reports from both the government and the landfill’s responsible parties, radioactive contamination is actively leaching into the surrounding populated area from the West Lake site — and likely has been for the past 42 years. In order to grasp this startling confluence of circumstances, it’s important to understand the history of these sites. Pertinent information either hasn’t been forthcoming or is muddied by disputes among the various government agencies and companies that should be held accountable for keeping area residents safe.

His crime?... On May 18, 2014, the 79-year-old pastor, speaking at the church he founded in Belfast, Ireland, preached a sermon on 1 Timothy 2:5: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” Pastor McConnell says he wrote that sermon to protest “… the terrible injustice done to a young Muslim woman named Miriam Ibrahim who was converted to Christianity and for marrying a Christian man. Miriam Ibrahim was pregnant and was to receive eighty lashes and possibly martyrdom.” As WND previously reported, McConnell stated in part of his sermon, “Islam’s ideas about God, about humanity, about salvation are vastly different from the teaching of the Holy Scriptures. Islam is heathen. Islam is satanic. Islam is a doctrine spawned in hell.”

These great European cities stood half empty, gripped by fear of imminent terrorist attacks... The authorities in Munich had been warned that a gang of Iraqis and Syrians were planning to bomb Munich’s central station and the more westerly Pasing terminal. They are still at large. Police were out in force in Brussels on New Year’s Eve, pictured, as the city’s celebrations were cancelled due to fears of terrorist attacks. In London, the revellers gathered as normal to see the arrival of 2016, but every armed police officer in the capital was out on duty to watch over them. In Paris, the Champs-Elysées fireworks were cancelled. Security was tightened in New York, Ankara, Madrid and Moscow.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ There is no such thing as border security in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security under the corruption of Secretary Jihadi Jeh Johnson and pretend ‘president’ Hussein nObama is an active threat to America’s national security... It has become the antithesis of the justification for the agency that was supposedly presented in its creation following the events of 9/11. What we have is a uniform, centrally controlled system for the dismantling of our protections and the nullification of American law. It is a lawless arm of the outlaw nObama regime that serves our enemies, enabling in every way those who prey upon us while working against the interests of the American citizens. Rather than protecting the borders and repelling invaders, Homeland Security has become an induction agency, with the rabble of Latin America and elsewhere now fully aware as are the American people that this government is completely abdicating its constitutional obligation to defend the nation. Congress is fully complicit in the dereliction of duty in that no impeachment proceedings or arrest of the criminal regime perpetrators have been initiated, in violation of their oaths to uphold and protect the Constitution.

{townhall.com} ~ Time magazine made a solid news judgment in naming German Chancellor Angela Merkel its 2015 "Person of the Year." The flood of refugees and immigrants from the Middle East and Africa into Europe, the greatest wave of migrants since World War II, is the world-changing event of the decade, and Merkel is the individual most responsible for rolling out Germany's welcome mat to more than a million asylum seekers. "It was an audacious act that, in a single motion, threatened both to redeem Europe and endanger it," Time wrote.
.
It was an audacious act -- and no one knows better than Merkel how unmanageable it is. In July, the chancellor endured a painful televised confrontation with a Palestinian teen, who, in fluent German, told Merkel that the threat of deportation kept her from enjoying the life she sees others living. "As long as I don't know that I can stay here, I don't know what my future will be," the girl said. Visibly upset, Merkel told the 14-year-old that Germany "just can't manage" to help every refugee and asylum seeker.
.
In September, Merkel threw caution to the wind and dispensed with standard European Union asylum procedures. The gesture was seen as a green light not only by desperate Syrians fleeing violence but also by economic refugees from Africa and Afghanistan who saw the moment as perhaps a final opportunity to squeeze into Europe before the door slams shut. A disapproving Hungarian official told The Wall Street Journal, "The Germans think they're the Americans of Europe."
.
Here's another parallel between Germany and the United States: The day comes when governments have to enforce immigration laws, even if they don't want to. In the coming weeks, The Washington Post reported, the nObama administration is expected to deport Central Americans who surged across the border in 2014 but did not qualify for asylum. In December, Germany stepped up deportations of refugees not qualified for asylum status. At a news conference, Merkel made clear that many Afghans seeking asylum will be sent home.
.
"Germany is saying, 'We're going to deport everyone (who doesn't qualify),'" observed Jessica Vaughan of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies. "They're actually starting to remove people, and it's going relatively smoothly. That should be a lesson to the U.S."
.
Germany's articulation should be a lesson to Washington. German Parliament member Mark Hauptmann gave two reasons Afghans are unlikely to qualify for asylum. First, he told NPR, "if we look at the people who are leaving the country, they are the young ones, the better-educated ones, and those ones are needed to build up Afghanistan." Also: "We send our troops; we send our citizens there to protect Afghans and to basically create safe environments in Afghanistan. And then people from Afghanistan are coming as so-called war refugees here to Europe."
.
Vaughan told me that she admires Merkel for wanting to help Syrian refugees, but unfortunately, the chancellor's rhetoric "came across as an open invitation to anyone who can get there." To set things right, Merkel had to set clear boundaries and enforce the rules. "I think the big difference is that Merkel seems to mean what she says," Vaughan added, unlike the nObama administration, which enforces immigration law spottily, and then reluctantly.
.
Now Merkel finds herself back where she was in July. She knows that there are good people who want nothing more than to be good Germans -- but she also knows that Germany cannot be the country that it is if it accommodates everyone who wants in. With too much traffic, any welcome mat wears thin. Thus, Merkel must "manage" who gets to stay in Germany -- if she wants to maintain the support of German voters who, with reason, fear that their safety net cannot handle the strain of a million-plus refugees.
.
Credit Merkel with articulating a policy and then refining it when she had to confront its unintended consequences. She knew the political cost and is likely to pay it someday.
.
For his part, President nObama throws out bromides -- for example, "That's not who we are." Everyone can agree with that statement because no one is sure exactly what it means. Meanwhile, the administration signs executive orders rewarding undocumented immigrants for flouting the law and then, the next day, threatens to actually enforce the law. And always about politics.

{leanrightamerica.org} ~ On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department notified Congress that they would be levying new financial sanctions against Iran – the first sanctions to be seriously discussed since the nObama administration sewed up a nuclear deal with the Islamic regime this summer... The new sanctions target 11 people and companies allegedly serving to support Iran’s ballistic missile program. The administration pursued these sanctions in the wake of several Iranian missile tests, including an Oct 10 launch of an Emad rocket. The rocket is said to be capable of delivering a nuclear warhead, which not only has inspired a new round of sanctions but could also threaten the structure of the nuclear deal itself. For its part, the regime in Tehran has said that any new sanctions would only embolden their resolve to develop ballistic weaponry. “As the U.S. government is clearly still pursuing its hostile policies and illegal meddling, the armed forces need to quickly and significantly increase their missile capability,” said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. There is no deal signed by Iran.        http://www.leanrightamerica.org/uncategorized/how-much-leeway-will-obama-give-iran/

{constitutionrising.com} ~ In the interest of not subjecting ourselves to any more of the blatant, mind-numbing lies that are the inevitable product of the movement of Hussein nObama’s septic mouth and vocal chords... this first weekly insult of what we hope will be the last year of Marxist Democrat attack on our country has been edited down. Gone are many of the lies proclaiming his “accomplishments” and how wonderfully the country is doing after seven years of nObama torment. They’re not important; the rational people know what they are and anyone who is still ignorant enough to fall for his deception by this point is undeniably beyond help. The squatter in the White House extends an insincere greeting of “Happy New Year Everybody,” one that, if he truly meant it would be followed immediately by his surrendering to authorities and confessing his crimes. Obviously he’s just repeating a customary salutation. He reads from the corny script his hacks have prepared for him, saying, “I am fired up for the year that stretches out before us,” obviously he’s got some diabolical plans he can’t wait to unleash on a self-restricted, law-abiding American public. He claims his optimism is based upon “what we’ve accomplished together over the last seven years.” He has no accomplishments, only assaults and they were not conducted with the approval or cooperation of the American people, they were inflicted. So while they certainly are something that would lead him to start breathing heavy, white collar domestic terrorism more closely defines what he’s engaged in.   http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24297

{newsmax.com} ~ Then-Secretary of State Hilly Clinton was advised to consider resigning in 2012 after President Barack nObama was caught on a live microphone telling then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that he would have more flexibility on missile talks after his re-election... The revelation comes from the batch of Clinton emails released Thursday by the State Department. In an email dated March 26, 2012 with the subject line "If true," Mark Penn, who has done polling for both Hilly Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, warns, "This could be about the stupidest thing ever said by a president in foreign policy." Penn's email was a reference to nObama's private comment by nObama earlier that same day during a summit in Seoul, South Korea. nObama was caught on microphone telling Medvedev that then Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin should "give me space" because "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

{timesofisrael.com} ~ The State Department’s New Year’s Eve release of over 5,000 pages of former secretary of state and current Democratic presidential front-runner Hilly Clinton’s emails from her private server reveals correspondence with one-time adviser Sidney Blumenthal regarding Israel... with Blumenthal citing the work of his son, writer Max Blumenthal. The younger Blumenthal, author of the book Goliath, is a fervent critic of Israeli policies and a self-described anti-Zionist. The senior Blumenthal referred his son’s work to the secretary of state, sending her transcripts and links to articles. On at least one occasion, Clinton appears to have asked that one of the younger Blumenthal’s articles be printed out in multiple copies for distribution. The Times of Israel has previously reported on correspondence between Sidney Blumenthal and Clinton regarding Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The latest emails provide further insight into the opinions of the secretary’s confidant.

{lifesitenews.com} ~ December 28, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - Inside the Beltway support for things like the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill, which funds Planned Parenthood, is the reason so many former Republicans are leaving the party... presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said in an interview December 23. Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Huckabee said the bill - which passed both Republican-controlled chambers of Congress recently - "put a lot of people over the top," because after "working hard to get Republican majorities in the House and the Senate," grassroots conservatives fail to see "significant policy changes." "That’s why people in the Republican Party are just bolting for the door," he told former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough. Rev. Franklin Graham recently announced he is leaving the Republican Party over the funding of Planned Parenthood, among other things.        https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/people-are-bolting-the-gop-for-funding-planned-parenthood-mike-huckabee

{zerohedge.com} ~ December 11, 2015 Republicans from the House of representatives of the U.S. Congress announced the creation of a special task team that will investigate the facts of distortion of data about the operations of the coalition in Iraq and Syria... The group will be to identify falsification in the reports, as well as figure out whether the problem is systemic in nature. The decision to create special group was adopted in November after more than fifty analysts of CENTCOM complained that their reports on the results of operations of the coalition against ISIS have been reduced in order to present the situation more positively. Despite the fact that the preliminary results of the investigation must be submitted only in January, Rep Jackie Speier has confirmed that the falsifications which underestimate combat capabilities of ISIS took place indeed. As one of such examples is the May statement of General Thomas Weidle, which said ISIS “loses and remains in the defense”. However, immediately after his speech, terrorists has captured the Central quarter of Ramadi, the administrative center of Anbar province. If American leadership possessed a clear picture of what is happening, it could take emergency measures and even prevent the ingress of arms, military equipment and ammunition to the hands of militants. The value of US arms and military equipment captured by jihadists equals hundreds of million dollars.

{dailysignal.com} ~ In an interview at the close of the recent Paris climate conference, Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry scolded Republican senators for saying out loud that the next president may not be a big supporter of President Barack nObama’s climate policies... hanoi-Kerry asserted voters won’t allow a change, “I don’t think they’re going to accept as a genuine leader someone who doesn’t understand the science of climate change and isn’t willing to do something about it.” But hanoi-Kerry disproves his own theory. In a widely covered speech in Jakarta, Indonesia hanoi-Kerry gave an absolutely cringe-worthy explanation of CO2 and global warming. He probably should have stopped with “physics can be tough.” His “a quarter-inch way up there” absolutely does not describe CO2 in the atmosphere. It seems what hanoi-Kerry had in mind is a very abstract representation of the ozone layer. This may have been relevant a long time ago in a debate far, far away, but it is not a description of CO2 in the atmosphere.     http://dailysignal.com/2015/12/23/john-kerry-proves-he-doesnt-understand-climate-science/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=saturday&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRovuKXIZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4ASMBiMK%2BTFAwTG5toziV8R7jHKM1t0sEQWBHm

Bill Clinton's Predatory Behavior:

{townhall.com} ~ Hilly Clinton has slammed Donald Trump for having a "penchant for sexism," but the Clinton-adoring media are acting shocked and dismayed that Trump would be so rude as to respond that she ought to look at her own husband when it comes to sexism and a "record of women abuse." Reporters are treating this as a sketchy allegation, or if true, a remarkably impolite way to campaign.
.
"Alleged" is the lying weasel word of the day. CNN's Karl de Vries wrote on Sunday morning: "Donald Trump on Saturday night slammed Hilly Clinton by citing her husband's history of marital infidelity and alleged sexual misconduct."
.
On Monday's "Good Morning America," ABC political reporter Mary Bruce embarrassed herself: "Based on his latest mudslinging, it seems like Donald Trump is already looking ahead to a battle with Hilly Clinton. ... Trump intensifying his war of words with the Democratic front-runner. Targeting her husband's history of alleged sexual misconduct." 
.       
"Mudslinging" to bring up "alleged sexual misconduct"? Bruce acts as if she were literally born yesterday. Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick: Who's ever heard their stories about Clinton's predatory behavior?
.
On Tuesday's "Today, NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie asked Trump about Monica Lewinsky: "Are you saying an alleged extramarital affair, that of course he has now admitted, is that fair game in a campaign?" Trump rightly replied, "Is it alleged? I don't think that's alleged." He was pressing her: How's something that's admitted still alleged? Guthrie persisted as Miss Manners: "Are you saying an extramarital affair by Bill Clinton is fair game and something that you think should be in the campaign?"  
.      
In 2011, the media found it "fair game" to relentlessly pursue Herman Cain sex allegations, Newt Gingrich "open marriage" allegations, and in Savannah Guthrie's case, even Sarah Palin sex allegations, about who she had sex with before marriage at age 23. Guthrie also publicized allegations from author Joe McGinniss that the Palins used their children as props, fought constantly, and even used cocaine. She was Savannah Gutter back then.
.
But this is Clinton, and no matter what year it is, the rules are different. In 1998, the year the Clintons lied for seven months, denying any presidential hanky-panky with the thong-flashing intern, journalists lectured that this was old news, that where were serious problems that needed attention, that it was time to "move on." This was said so frequently it led to a new liberal group called MoveOn.org.
.
When Clinton's guilt was established by DNA testing, they changed the narrative. This was all silly, all about the GOP's obsession with sex. Perjury? What perjury? Disbarment? What disbarment?
.
On Tuesday morning, CNN reporter Sara Murray also hopped aboard the Born Yesterday train. She noted Trump's attacks on Bill Clinton, but insisted "a number of voters who look at that and say 'Why should Hilly Clinton be punished because her husband made mistakes?'"        
.
Maybe she's talking about low-information 2016 voters who were born during Clinton's presidency. But any political reporter who's a professional knows that it was Hilly Clinton who set up the "bimbo patrols" to discredit Bill's female accusers. George Stephanopoulos wrote in his memoir she said of the first accuser Connie Hamzy in 1991, "We have to destroy her story." She has lived with this reality and participated in the cover-up from Day One. She was no Arkansas bumpkin who never knew that her husband was cheating.
.
Clinton is also the one who so arrogantly and dishonestly appeared on the "Today" show and blamed a "vast right-wing conspiracy" for her husband's adultery and perjury. She agreed with Matt Lauer's suggestion that the Lewinsky story was one of the biggest smears of the 20th century and predicted it wouldn't be "proven true."
.
The Clintons -- both of them -- are serial liars. An objective media would see that they have far too much baggage on female-smearing to be credible in objecting to Trump's unyielding rebuttals. But the Clintons have never had to face an objective media.

Hilly Clinton: Career Criminal
TIM BROWN

{sonsoflibertymedia.com{ ~ A video that needs to be spread far and wide among anyone that is even thinking of supporting Hilly Clinton is now at center stage... The video reminds Americans, especially younger Americans and those with short memories of the various scandals, dead bodies and criminal activities that Hilly has been engaged in the past, including those of her White House days with husband, Bill Clinton. Many would love to see justice brought down on this unethical, immoral woman, but we can’t count on Congress to do it. With all of their “tough talk,” including congressmen like Trey Gowdy (R-SC), they have failed to bring one indictment against her. However, it’s even worse than that. While conservatives applaud the tough talk, they fail to see what is really going on. Just take a look at the homage paid to Hilly Clinton when she testified before Gowdy’s Benghazi committee, which has found tons of criminal activity, but has done absolutely nothing about it. This is the full testimony, but pick up the video around the 5:45 mark.

{conservativereview.com} ~ 2015 will likely be remembered as the year the GOP base finally rebelled against the party leadership, taking the half-century long schism within the party to the point of no return... The betrayal by the party establishment was so profound and blatant that GOP voters everywhere discovered what many of us have known for years – the party establishment does not share our values. It’s not that there is anything new about the party establishment shying away from providing a bold contrast to the Democrats. This divide within the party was reflected in the battles between Eisenhower and Taft, Rockefeller and Goldwater, Reagan and Ford/Bush, and Gingrich and Dole. It’s that there are graver consequences to not providing that bold contrast, and the people have noticed it. This ain’t your grandfather’s Democrat Party; nor is this the party of Tip O’Neill or even Harry dinky-Reid and Chuck Schumer of the early ‘90s who supported border security and religious freedom respectively. This is the party of transgenders, illegal aliens, and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the party of licentiousness, totalitarianism, and post-Americanism. So yes, the consequences of remaining silent and even tacitly supporting this agenda are more deleterious than the ineptitude of former GOP House Minority Leader Bob Michael in fighting Democrats of yesteryear.

Hilly’s and the Democrats’ 
‘war on children’
Wayne Allyn Root
.
{personalliberty.com} ~ After what Barack nObama has done to damage America, I fear the window is closing fast. I don’t believe America can be saved if a Democrat like Hilly Clinton or Bernie Sanders follows nObama in the White House... Either we take back the White House; repeal and replace nObamacare; stop the madness of climate change/green energy; stop the EPA dead in its tracks; undo all the onerous regulations put into place by nObama; build a wall and secure the border; stop the madness of importing Syrian refugees to America; and dramatically lower taxes, spending and debt, or America is lost forever. If the GOP doesn’t win the White House on Nov. 8, the very next day we need to all be thinking of where to go and what to do to protect our families, our incomes, our assets, our children’s future. It’s time for “Escape From America.” It sounds like the title of a fictional horror film, except this time it’s real. Every friend I have with substantial assets to protect is already making plans either to leave or to obtain dual citizenship. The preparations have begun for smart people with the resources.

{lidblog.com} ~ Hilly Clinton was confronted with her conflicting stories about the reasons for the attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya, and answered by throwing the victims’ families under the bus... She suggested they lied, because she never told them about the attack being caused by an offensive video. Perhaps they got caught up in “the fog of war.” The questioning was part of an  interview with the editorial board of New Hampshire newspaper The Conway Daily Sun. Sun Columnist Tom McLaughlin asked the video vs. planned terrorist attack question. He reminded Clinton that she “told an Egyptian diplomat the Benghazi attack was planned and not a protest but that she told family members of the deceased that the attack was the result of a demonstration. He said she then told George Stephanopoulos that she didn’t tell the families the attack was a demonstration about a film.” We all know she is lying.

{lidblog.com} ~ It kind of hit last week when my wife (a CPA) wanted to discuss taking a vacation in October 2016. 2015 was a huge news year, but things were about to get real crazy...  “No good,” I told her. “You know how you can’t, take vacation between January and April 15th because it’s your busy season? Well, in a Presidential election year my busy season begins a month before the Iowa caucus and ends about a week after election day when all the post-mortems have been posted.” Some say the phrase, “may you live in interesting times ” is an old Chinese curse. While the phrase’s origin may be disputed, one thing that can’t be disputed is that the next twelve months will be very interesting. Below are my 2016 predictions. Saturday January 2nd is exactly one month before the Iowa caucus. That’s when the the voting starts and presidential race kicks in for real. Later in January Barack nObama begins his final twelve months as President. Both those events will dominate the headlines in the next twelve months...

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ While American law gives us the right to bear arms, Sharia law strips women of the freedom of bare arms, legs, and hair... The all-female ISIS police force known as the “al-Kahnsa brigade” enforces these strict modesty rules and this week gained national attention when they murdered a breastfeeding mother. Since Sharia Law forbids men from punishing women, they created the all-women police force al-Kahnsa to do it for them. Stories of al-Kahnsa’s brutality first hit the news in 2014. More stories have surfaced as civilians flee areas under ISIS control. Most women in the brigade are foreigners, young wives of immigrants from Moroccan, Tunisian, British, and French nationalities. The mother in question was caught breastfeeding her baby in Raqqa, Syria. According to the brigade, the woman’s actions violated “public purity.” The mother was mutilated and then murdered.

We citizens face the challenge of wrestling with both the occupation of our government by a subversive cabal and a compromised Congress unwilling to fulfill their constitutional obligation to take corrective action. Since our hijacked government isn’t open for its destructive business on January 1st, nObama crime syndicate henchman and DHS Secretary Jihadi Jeh Johnson issued his latest dictatorial decree in advance of the holiday. There’s no time to waste; with only months left to complete the implosion into chaos, the foreign hordes must be put into position immediately. nObama’s fellow commie squatters stand at the ready. As reported by Breitbart.com, nObama and Johnson are once again forcing Americans to give up their opportunities and their right to economic prosperity. Their birthrights are being stolen and handed over to those who have no right to be here as a means to inflict damage upon our citizens and our country.

{eaglerising.com} ~ The Liberals are literally going crazy. I kid you not. The latest example comes to us from Seattle, Washington where the good little socialists elected themselves a fascist mayor... Mayor Ed Murray (D-WA) was elected to the job in 2014 and has since taken it upon himself to strip Seattle’s citizens of their right to defend themselves. In fact, the effort didn’t start after his election as Mayor -- it began earlier during his time in the Washington State Senate. Back in 2013, Murray, as a state Senator, pushed for passage of a law that would have allowed police in the state to “conduct an inspection” of the homes and/or private property of any legal semi-automatic gun owners once a year. Don’t be fooled here, folks. This is not a “gun violence” tax. Do you know of any criminals who legally purchase the weapons that they later use for crimes? Of course not. This is not a “gun violence” tax, this is a 2nd Amendment tax.

Defining political child abuse: 
A tale of two Cruz families

{onenewsnow.com} ~ Remember 5-year-old Sophie Cruz?
.
Groomed for a year by an outfit called the "Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition," Sophie is the pony tailed poster child for amnesty who was literally propped up in front of the pope during a September visit to Washington, DC.
.
Latino activists brazenly bragged about training the first-grader before the visit and crafting a letter in her name pleading with the Catholic pontiff to help her rescue President nObama's executive illegal immigrant amnesty program DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents), which was halted under federal court order on May.
.
In The Washington Post, a Harvard University professor praised the kiddie human shield tactics of the amnesty movement after Sophie's stunt.
.
"Tactically really, it's one of those moves that is just brilliant," Roberto Gonzales, a Harvard University sociologist, told the Post reporter, Janell Ross. Ross marveled at the "power of personal narrative" and noted how the use of a child to deliver a political message had been "deployed to great effect."
.
Sophie Cruz's family now works with FWD.us, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's multi-million-dollar lobbying group, which just two weeks ago featured the girl in a high-profile ad campaign reading a fear-mongering script on "how her family would be ripped apart" if America got serious about deporting illegal border-crossers, visa overstayers, document fraudsters and criminal alien fugitives.
.
The Washington Post again provided positive coverage of little Sophie Cruz's latest foray in politics. The article attacked Republicans who support strict immigration enforcement and included a massive photo of the cute child, supplied by her father, coloring a "pro-immigration" propaganda picture for amnesty.
.
Now, imagine.
.
Imagine if a conservative political cartoonist had depicted Sophie as an organ grinder monkey on a leash held by her illegal immigrant parents and Mark Zuckerberg.
.
Imagine if a conservative political cartoonist had defended the depiction of Sophie as a chained dancing monkey by commenting that her parents' use of their daughter in political ads and media students made the child "fair game."
.
Imagine the front-page, white-hot, and nonstop outrage from Democrats, journalists and the White House that would ensue.
.
Somehow, The Washington Post's coverage of 5-year-old Sophie Cruz's manipulation and exploitation by corporate special interests and amnesty theater production managers escaped the attention of Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes.
.
Instead, Telnaes focused her supposed wrath over political child abuse last week on another Cruz family: GOP presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.
.
Cruz's sin? Including his 4-year-old and 7-year-old daughters, Catherine and Caroline, in a light-hearted Christmas video poking fun at his rivals and playing off his "Green Eggs and Ham" moment on the Senate floor in 2013.
.
In the bizarre world of The Washington Post, employing a 5-year-old to breach Secret Service security for an international headline-grabbing papal photo op and to shill for Facebook's self-serving immigration expansionist agenda is "brilliant" and humanizing.
.
But taping a viral parody Web ad with your kids telling Seussian Hilly Clinton email server jokes is practically an international human rights crime.
.
Telnaes indulged her Cruz Derangement Syndrome not just by attacking Cruz, but by serving up a crude depiction of his young, half-Hispanic daughters as animated monkeys. She bitterly warned on Twitter that since "Ted Cruz has put his children in a political ad -- don't start screaming when editorial cartoonists draw them as well."
.
Disingenuous jerkette.
.
Politicians in both parties put their children in political ads and policy debates all the time. Over the years, the nObamas' daughters have made strategic campaign cameos for their parents during both of their dad's presidential election drives, the nObamaCare debate, and their mom's East Wing anti-obesity initiative.
.
The Clintons did the same with their daughter. Now, at every available campaign Kodak moment, those geriatric masters of Democratic political stagecraft are currently welded to their baby granddaughter like toddlers tethered to a binkie dipped in Pixy Stix.
.
Imagine the storm of protest that would have rained down on any prominent conservative political cartoonist who caricatured Sasha, Malia, Chelsea or Charlotte as circus animals performing for their parents for maximum electoral gain.
.
Democrats surround themselves daily with human Snuggie blankets of other people's babies, toddlers, tweens and teens to push gun control, endless expansions of government healthcare programs and entitlements, and abdication of our borders and immigration laws. But instead of decrying this blatant political child abuse, "progressives" attack the critics of these debate-stifling tactics for ... hating on children!
.
When the media's selective civility police argue that children should be "off-limits" in politics, what they really mean is that prop-a-palooza should only be allowed when the children promote politically correct causes and left-wing politicians.
.
The Washington Post deleted the cartoon that maliciously turned two innocent daughters of a Republican candidate into dancing monkeys -- but not before revealing itself to be run and staffed by drooling moral infants in soiled, double-standards diapers.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ Lt Col Ralph Peters returns to Fox News after having successfully completed his suspension for an on-air declaration that Hussein nObama is quite similar to female genital...  He’s back on television and appears to have toned down his enthusiasm slightly, but he’s still got opinions and that’s still why folks tune in to listen to what he has to say. He is asked about comments made by one of the nObama bookend spokesliars, John Kirby, in which he described one of the regime’s achievements for 2015 as being the bringing of peace to Syria. Of course nothing could be further from the truth. Peace, particularly a peace that leaves President Assad in power is not what the regime wants. What good is an end to the violence if they can’t use the crisis to change the government into something along the lines of the “Libyan success story?” Rather than admit that they’ve been busted lying again and Syria is one total screw-up, the regime sends out spokes liar Mike Toner, who is the current equivalent of Marie Harf, minus the beads, glasses and condescending, snippy attitude. Toner does as he’s been instructed, offering himself as a target and taking fire. It’s his job to make excuses and misleading claims until the problem goes away or people get tired of talking about it.

{aim.org} ~ To understand ISIS, you have to understand the difference between terrorists and Islamic terrorists... Ordinary terrorists have two goals; to compel the enemy to meet their political demands and to rally their supporters to consolidate their class, race or national identity group behind them. Islamic terrorists are not interested in the “political demands” part. They will occasionally accept concessions and even offer Hudnas, temporary truces, but no permanent separate peace can be achieved with them. It’s why Israel’s peace process with terrorists has gone on failing for decades. It’s why the attempt by Gaddafi to achieve peace with the LIFG ended in a civil war and his death. It’s why nObama’s attempts to negotiate with the “moderate Taliban” failed miserably.        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/muslim-immigration-is-what-isis-wants/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email123115&utm_medium=email

Enshrining Muslims as a protected class

{wnd.com} ~ While it might be no surprise, that which our esteemed affirmative-action Attorney General Loretta Lynch is apparently unable to do by decree, radicals in the Democratic Party are attempting to do through legislation... One may recall that Lynch recently threatened to prosecute anyone who advocated violent action against Muslims in the United States as a response to escalating acts of violence by Muslims. A group of Democratic lawmakers want to take Lynch’s initiative a step further. In a measure similar to laws passed in some European nations, House Resolution 569 is a bill that seeks to criminalize “violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States.” The Resolution, submitted on Dec. 17, is currently on its way to the House Committee on the Judiciary. We’ve been telling Americans for some time that the enshrining of Muslims as a protected class is coming, and measures such as this are efforts to that end.

Truman (CVN-75) to launch the first carrier-based strikes for Operation Inherent Resolve since the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group left the Persian Gulf in October. The Truman CSG joins French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle (R 91) which has been launching fighters in the Persian Gulf since Nov. 23. “Dual carrier operations with the French allow us to maximize our firepower and provide a unique opportunity to further progress against ISIS,” Rear Adm. Bret Batchelder, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 8 said in a Navy statement. Two carriers allow more flexibility in operations, Carrier Air Wing 7 commander Capt.

{aei.org} ~ Pyongyang’s descent into penury is all the more tragic considering that from the 1950s on into the 1970s, intelligence from Washington and Seoul suggested that North Korea’s per capita output was higher than South Korea’s... An array of public data—on urbanization and energy consumption, for instance—appears to corroborate that judgment. How the once-developing DPRK went from a rapid ascent into a stall, and then into a dreadful downward spiral, is a cautionary tale with implications far beyond the Korean peninsula. The ruling Kim regime suppresses data about the country’s performance, but sufficient hard evidence has seeped out to describe both the dimensions and the causes of its continuing economic calamity. The most meaningful quantitative measure available comes from “mirror statistics” on the country’s international trade—reports by its trading partners on their purchases from and sales to the DPRK of various commodities. These data provide indirect but powerful evidence about productivity, living standards and technological attainment.    http://www.aei.org/publication/how-north-korea-became-the-worlds-worst-economy/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=123115

After decades of dispute, recrimination, and ill will... Asia’s two most powerful democracies agreed to resolve one of the bitterest lingering issues from World War II. In forthrightly offering “his most sincere apologies and remorse to all the women who underwent immeasurable and painful experiences and suffered incurable physical and psychological wounds,” Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe appears to have succeeded in bringing diplomatic closure to the issue of South Korea’s “comfort women” — captives forced to have sex with Japanese servicemen. There are officially 64 surviving comfort women in South Korea today, out of the tens of thousands forcibly taken by the Imperial Japanese Army for sexual services during World War II. The question of official responsibility for the “comfort women” has plagued postwar relations between Tokyo and Seoul, becoming among the most rancorous of disputes resulting from Japan’s 35-year colonization of the Korean peninsula, from 1910 to 1945. Tokyo has claimed that the issue was resolved with the 1965 normalization of relations between Japan and South Korea and the establishment of a private fund in the 1990s to provide compensation to surviving comfort women.        http://www.aei.org/publication/a-new-era-in-south-korean-japanese-relations-begins/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=123115

The shock claim, from one of the world's leading authorities on the death cult, comes amid fears of a New Year's Eve terror plot in London and other major world cities. And next year will see a huge increase in both the number and scale of major terror attacks, according to Dr Theodore Karasik, a Gulf-based analyst of regional geo-political affairs who has extensively studied ISIS's behaviour.   http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/630316/ISIS-secret-plot-world-masterplan-2016-final-battle

{gopthedailydose.com} ~ These days, you hear nothing but threats coming from the nObama Administration about “Gun Control” and with the new California law that will allow the seize of their legally owned guns at the drop of a penny…things are getting even MORE out of hand... BUT…among all the lurking fears of our guns being taken, there is one grocery store that says… ENOUGH is ENOUGH, and they are making a rule of their own that will go into effect on the 1st as well! While other major grocery chains in Texas are opposing the open carry law set to go into effect on January 1, Ohio-based Kroger has no intention to bar its customers from bringing guns into their stores. Kroger, which has several stores in Dallas and Houston, however will not impose additional rules on gun owners.        http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/12/31/kroger-grocery-stores-just-took-a-major-stand-against-obama/

{wnd.com} ~ In the final hours of 2015 the nObama administration has quietly proposed a host of rule changes that critics say will end up being a bonanza for foreign students and illegal immigrants seeking work in the U.S. while putting a dagger in the hearts of thousands of American workers... The rules, as proposed by nObama’s Department of Homeland Security, make it easier for employers to hire and retain foreign workers who have not yet received their green cards or “lawful protected resident” status. The U.S. already hands out approximately 1 million green cards per year, but under the proposed changes those foreigners who apply unsuccessfully for a green card can enter the workforce with a temporary work permit.

Confused Jews and Islamophobia phobia

.
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The great struggle against radical Islam is being complicated in the West by a phobia of Islamophobia.
.
Of course, prejudice against Muslims should be condemned. But the accusation of Islamophobia confuses prejudice with legitimate criticism of Islam and concerns about Islamic extremism.
.
An example of this has surfaced in Britain with the publication by an organization called Hope not Hate (HnH), titled, "The Counter-Jihad Movement: Anti-Muslim Hatred from the Margins to the Mainstream."
.
This document profiles 920 organizations and individuals in 22 countries. It says that they make no distinction between moderate Muslims and extremists, that they are "mainstreaming" anti-Muslim hatred, and that their "anti-Muslim rhetoric poisons the political discourse sometimes with deadly effect."
.
Outrageously, the document links neo-Nazi and fascist groups with Middle East scholars such as Dr. Daniel Pipes and even with courageous Muslim reformers such as Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, and stellar counter- jihadists such as the Somalian campaigner Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
.
A number of these counter-jihadists already live under a permanent Islamist threat to their lives. Yet, astoundingly, HnH accuses them of spreading anti-Muslim hatred.
.
I, too, am included in this grotesque list, even though I have repeatedly acknowledged the many millions of Muslims who are neither extreme nor violent and emphasized that the Islamist perspective is merely one interpretation of Islam. Moreover, I am described as a "supporter of Israel" — as if it is axiomatic that Israel supporters will be Muslim-bashers.
.
Like several other victims of this document's smears, I have placed this matter in the hands of my lawyers. But there is a yet more disturbing aspect to this calumny. For HnH is supported and backed by mainstream UK Jewish organizations.
.
Indeed, I can reveal that it has been funded by the Community Security Trust (CST) — which otherwise enjoys a stellar and deserved reputation for guarding British Jews against attack.
.
It appears that the CST knew nothing of this report until it was published. Nevertheless, one has to ask how it could have funded an organization that thinks like this.
.
HnH was an offshoot of the anti-fascist paper Searchlight from which HnH's executive director, Nick Lowles, split in 2011. Lowles, a far-left activist, has equated anti-fascism not with fighting totalitarian Islamists but with attacking Islamophobia.
.
Although he did condemn al-Muhajiroun as a "hate group," praised the banning of a radical preacher from the London School of Economics and condemned Islamic State, most of his attacks have been directed not at Islamic extremists but at those who fight them.
.
Despite the message of "solidarity" Lowles offered the murdered Charlie Hebdo journalists, in 2012 he implied that the magazine was somehow asking for it by "publishing obscene cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad." These Muslim haters," he wrote on his blog, "know that any stupid stunt is going to cause a reaction, and probably a violent one at that..."
.
He went further. All anti-jihadists, he claimed, were really "Muslim haters." So he drew no distinction between those who really were prejudiced against Muslims and those who fought Islamist extremism and violence.
.
And he went further still. "There is a depressingly symbiotic relationship between the Muslim haters and the very people they claim to oppose. They need each other. In fact, they welcome the actions of the other to justify their own activities."
.
If you think that through, you will realize that in effect this blames all jihadi violence on those who oppose Islamist extremism.
.
Did the CST really not know about any of this? Even now it won't condemn HnH or its report. I asked it why it had not denounced HnH for putting courageous Muslim reformers at further risk by accusing them of spreading hatred of Islam, and for implying that Israel-supporters should be presumed by definition to hold such hateful views.
.
This was its reply. "CST's past support of HnH was because of its many years of work against the far Right. We note that legal actions have begun regarding this report, and do not, therefore, wish to publicly comment on this particular matter."
.
The CST is not the only UK Jewish organization to have made common cause with HnH.
.
Last summer, the Board of Deputies and the London Jewish Forum joined HnH in the "Golders Green Together" initiative to stop a planned demonstration by neo-Nazis in a predominantly Jewish area of north London.
.
Such an unholy alliance was rooted in the assumption among many Diaspora Jews, especially those on the Left, that anti-Semitism and thuggish political violence are to be found only among neo-Nazis or on the far-right. It is an article of faith that what is not Left is Right, what is Right is evil and so all that is not Left is evil.
.
That explains the astounding comment by Abe Foxman, former head of the US Anti-Defamation League, who told a Jerusalem conference a while back that there was no anti-Semitism on the Left in Europe, only on the far-right.
.
Such tunnel vision is exacerbated by the Jews' collective memory of their long history of persecution, ethnic cleansing and exile.
.
As a result of this mindset, neo-Nazis are conflated with democratic nationalists who merely want to halt the mass immigration now threatening to submerge Europe. They, too, are thus deemed to be fascists.
.
The result is a reckless absence of self-preservation by Diaspora Jews in seeking to embrace those who would kill Jews or destroy Israel.
.
Hence the campaign by both Orthodox and progressive denominations in Britain to welcome all Syrian refugees, despite well-founded warnings that an unknown number of these may have been recruited by Islamic State or other Islamists.
.
This perverse behavior stems partly from fear and ignorance, but also from a supremely shallow identification with another religious minority whose clothing and rituals set it aside from the mainstream.
.
It also reflects the grip of interfaith work.
.
This precludes addressing any truths so unpalatable that they might cause Muslims to walk out, thus imperiling their support on issues of apparent common interest such as defending ritual animal slaughter and circumcision.
.
Mostly, though, it reflects the equation made by Diaspora Jews between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. This equation is utterly false. Anti-Semitism is pure bigotry, reflecting hatred of Jews not for what they do but for what they are. Islamophobia, by contrast, is nothing other than a mind-bending smear designed to stigmatize and silence all who seek to expose or fight Islamic extremism and holy war.
.
The result of this false equation is that UK Jewish leaders have identified the community with the campaign to eradicate Islamophobia. This means they stigmatize as Islamophobic anyone — including Jews and courageous gentile supporters of Israel — who criticizes aspects of the religion or culture of Islam.
.
So even speaking of Muslim anti-Semitism — which has claimed countless Jewish lives — is deemed Islamophobic.
.
That is why such Jews are lending their support — so appallingly and suicidally — to an organization that promotes hatred rather than hope.

{lidblog.com} ~ Soon after it was revealed that the NSA was spying on our allies President nObama assured America and the world that we would no longer spy on friendly nations...  A new Wall Street Journal report shows that his no spying promise, like so many others made by Barack nObama, was a lie. The President was so anxious to protect his Iran deal and have something he can call a foreign policy legacy, he decided to keep “certain allies under close watch” and topping the watch list was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. White House officials believed the intercepted information could be valuable to counter Mr. Netanyahu’s campaign. They also recognized that asking for it was politically risky. So, wary of a paper trail stemming from a request, the White House let the NSA decide what to share and what to withhold, officials said. “We didn’t say, ‘Do it,’ ” a senior U.S. official said. “We didn’t say, ‘Don’t do it.’ ” But it was done.        http://lidblog.com/obama-lied-had-nsa-spy-on-netanyahu-congress-to-protect-iran-deal/?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_campaign=97b2f4709c-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-97b2f4709c-291705165

But the surprise is that 18 percent of those who consider themselves ” very conservative” agree. As do 29 percent of Protestants. And 23 percent of Catholics. Interestingly, the sample of Muslims was very small, but 100 percent said it is Muslims who are the greater danger. Poll chief Fritz Wenzel said, “A surprising finding in the survey shows that one in three respondents said they believe Christians pose a greater threat to America than do Muslims. Among Democrats, 45 percent said Christians are more dangerous than are Muslims, while 36 percent of political independents said the same.

Hanoi Jane Fonda is still a traitor
John Velicek USN (Ret)
.
{coachisright.com} ~ Did anyone expect to hear from “Hanoi” Jane Fonda again? Of course, in order to slink away from society and retire to a cave, Fonda would have to leave the fawning press and the liberals who think of her as an icon... It may have happened too long ago to remember what this “Woman of the Century” did to prisoners in North Vietnam’s Hanoi Hilton. But some of us who were there will never forget and never let others forget. Jane Fonda was and is a traitor to this country. Unfortunately, those born in the 70’s and later don’t know and it is a safe bet that our educational system will not mention it. For those who don’t remember or who do not know, the burden that this woman put on our fighting men during Vietnam began the downfall of the American psyche. In some sense we have not recovered from that pivotal moment in our nation’s military history. This “peace activist” as Fonda was called at the time, visited the Hanoi Hilton and saw prisoners like Jerry Driscoll-later the Commandant of the USAF survival school-beaten and clubbed with a wooden baton by the prison commandant.        http://www.coachisright.com/hanoi-jane-fonda-is-still-a-traitor/

{nationalreview.com} ~ In July, I used that Peter Pan quote to describe Donald Trump’s impossible Neverland. Yet having digested the nObama administration’s 2015 foreign-policy review and its Twitter hashtag (#2015in5words)... I conclude that the quote is equally applicable to American foreign policy. After all, the administration’s review actually claims that 2015 was a successful year. These successes apparently include establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba (freedom forgotten), defeating transnational Salafi-jihadists “violent extremists” (Parisians might disagree), reaching a deal on an “ensured” peaceful Iran nuclear program (Iran is already cheating without any meaningful response), and “bringing peace, security to Syria.” Welcome to nObama’s Neverland. Unfortunately, this isn’t funny. Because in the real world outside Neverland, international politics are not static. And in 2016, while President Obama thrives in unreality, America’s global adversaries will do the opposite. Assessing nObama’s weakness, they will push hard to extract all they can before another president takes office. In that regard, we should expect three new crises in 2016. One: expect new ISIS attacks against Europe and the United States. Two: expect a skirmish between America’s allies and China in the East and South China Seas. And three: expect Iran to continue cheating on the nuclear deal. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429107/obamas-2015-foreign-policy-disasters-pave-way-worse-2016

Meanwhile, the Middle East has descended into an even bigger mess than usual, and nobody has any expectation that it’ll improve soon... Vladimir Putin is likely to take chances, seeing a weak U.S. administration in its last year. Japanese debt is increasingly a worry, and could go critical in 2016. Finally, there’s a distinct possibility of a credit crisis, probably in the fall before the U.S. election, the traditional season for them.

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ As Muslim jihadis, mobs and regimes terrorized Christians and others throughout the world of Islam, in the West, institutions -- from governments to grade schools -- empowered and praised Islam, often at the expense of Christians... U.S. President Barack nObama described the idea of giving preference to persecuted Christian refugees as "shameful" -- even though helping persecuted refugees is what America has always been doing and much of what it is about. "That's not American. That's not who we are. We don't have religious tests to our compassion," nObama admonished. Unfortunately for the president, statistics were soon released, indicating that "the current refugee system overwhelmingly favors Muslim refugees. Of the 2,184 Syrian refugees admitted to the United States so far, only 53 are Christians while 2,098 are Muslim." So, although Christians are 10% of Syria's population -- and possibly the most persecuted group -- only 2% of the refugees entering America are Christian. Adding to the confusion, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush falsely claimed that Syrian President Bashar Assad "executes Christians." In reality, not only have Christian minorities long been protected under the secular regime of Assad -- himself a member of a religious minority -- but many Christian refugees who fled the jihad in Iraq went to Assad's Syria for sanctuary.        http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7132/muslims-have-nothing-whatsoever-to-do-with-terrorism

Overall Deportations Drop in 2015, 
27% for Criminal Aliens
Judicial Watch
.
{judicialwatch.org} ~ A year after freeing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is distorting annual deportation figures by falsely claiming the number of criminal aliens removed from the U.S. keeps increasing when in fact it’s shrinking drastically... In fiscal year 2015 deportation figures released this week, DHS celebrates that its enforcement efforts prioritize criminals and threats to public safety as well as national security. The agency created after 9/11 to keep the country safe claims the latest stats show “the number of convicted criminals removed from the interior continued to increase.” The reality is that deportations of criminal aliens declined 27% from last year—from 86,923 in 2014 to 63,127 in 2015. This serious discrepancy was exposed by the Washington D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), which further reveals that the number of criminal deportations in fiscal year 2015 is less than half of what it was in 2011.

{theacru.org} ~ This month, President Barack nObama’s defense secretary, Ashton Carter, decreed that there will be 220,000 combat military jobs offered to women—- including in Army special operations forces and the Navy SEALs... He said, “They’ll be allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars and lead infantry soldiers into combat… and everything else that was previously open only to men.” Technological changes since the time of the M60 Patton, embodied in the M1 Abrams tank, mean that a woman can probably drive a tank. But what if track pads or a tank track has to be repaired in the field and under enemy fire? Such repairs pose a significant physical challenge to men, who generally have far greater strength than women. Will our military leaders relieve women from such a task, claiming that demanding equal performance creates a “disparate,” sexually discriminatory impact?

{constitutionrising.com} ~ State Department spokesman Mike Toner related in a briefing how Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry, in an earlier meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, had expressed the nObama regime’s displeasure that their terrorist allies had been targeted by the Russians and a key leader been killed... They lay out the purported reasons why the regime feels justified in lamenting the death of the terrorist as being “he was in support of a political process to end the conflict” in Syria. Toner remarked that the Russian actions complicated regime efforts to bring about a “meaningful political negotiated settlement as well as a nationwide ceasefire.” Dishonesty and fabrication are at the black heart of the nObama regime, from the climate hoax to UN global government to their support of the Islamification of the United States and a global caliphate. They are destabilizing Syria and the Middle East in order to position their Islamist operatives into positions of authority. Assad is an obstacle to their takeover and that is the motivations for the Islamic terrorist Hussein nObama to so adamantly insist he be eliminated.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24238

{constitutionrising.com} ~ Neil Cavuto addresses the doubling of the number of border-crashing juveniles being dropped off and left in the custody of the US Border Patrol and inevitably on the dole of the US taxpayers... It’s the problem that has been engineered, specifically created where it didn’t use to exist, by Hussein nObama and his DHS henchman, Secretary Jihadi Jeh Johnson. Noting that at last ten thousand more of these unwelcome intruders are reportedly already en route to the US, Jessica Vaughn, of the Institute for Immigration Studies, is asked to provide insight into just what is going on and what can be done to correct the problem. She notes that they usually end up with friends or family virtually anywhere within the United States, courtesy of the dissemination program of DHS, the “catch, release and lose track of” program. She quotes the Customs and Border Protection statistics that roughly 85% of those crossing and being taken into custody by the CBP are later placed with friends or family members who are already living in the US illegally. In another effort to thwart the rule of law by the criminal Johnson, those illegal aliens who take custody of the newly imported “asylees” are generally not then subjected to deportation.     http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24257

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Members of Congress knew the Iran nuclear deal came with strings attached. They just didn't know how many.
.
When the administration presented the agreement to Congress, lawmakers were told that new sanctions on Iran would violate the deal. Now the administration is trying to sidestep a recently passed provision to tighten rules on visas for those who have visited Iran.
.
Since the accord was struck last summer, the U.S. emphasis on complying with its end of the deal has publicly eclipsed its efforts to pressure Iran. In that time, Iranian authorities have detained two American dual nationals and sentenced a third on what most observers say are trumped up espionage charges. Iran's military has conducted two missile tests, one of which the U.N. said violated sanctions, and engaged in a new offensive with Russia in Syria to shore up the country's dictator, Bashar al- Assad.
.
In the latest example of the U.S. effort to reassure Iran, the State Department is scrambling to confirm to Iran that it won't enforce new rules that would increase screening of Europeans who have visited Iran and plan to come to America. There is concern the new visa waiver provisions, included in the omnibus budget Congress passed last week, would hinder business people seeking to open up new ventures in Iran once sanctions are lifted.
.
U.S. officials confirmed over the weekend that Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry sent his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, a letter promising to use executive powers to waive the new restrictions on those who have visited Iran but are citizens of countries in the Visa Waiver Program. These officials also told us that they have told Iranian diplomats that, because they are not specific to Iran, the new visa waiver provisions do not violate the detailed sequence of steps Iran and other countries committed to taking as part of the agreement. Even so, the State Department is promising to sidestep the new rule.
.
At issue is a provision that would require travelers who visit certain countries -- including Iran, Sudan, Syria and Iraq -- to apply at a U.S. Embassy for a visa before coming to the U.S., even if they are from a country for which such visas would normally be waived.
.
House staffers who spoke with us say Iran was included for good reason, because it remains on the U.S. list of state of sponsors of terrorism for its open support for Hezbollah and Hamas. The White House did not object until the Iranian government told the administration last week that the bill would violate the nuclear agreement, according to correspondence on these negotiations shared with us.
.
Since 2013, when the open negotiations with Iran began, the nObama administration has repeatedly told Congress that additional sanctions on the Islamic Republic would wreck negotiations. The resulting agreement obligates the West to lift sanctions in exchange for more transparency and limitations on Iran's nuclear program. Iran and the White House seem to be interpreting "lift sanctions" more broadly than others expected.
.
"If the United States Congress cannot implement a more secure visa procedure for those who travel to state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, then the Iran deal ties the hands of lawmakers to a greater extent than even deal critics feared," Mark Dubowitz, the executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and an expert in Iran sanctions, told us.
.
Over the weekend, Zarif said in an interview with al- Monitor that Iran's inclusion on the list might violate the agreement. Zarif called the new restrictions "absurd" because no one connected to Iran was involved in the attacks in San Bernardino and Paris. He also said the provision "sends a very bad signal to the Iranians that the U.S. is bent on hostile policy toward Iran, no matter what."
.
The issue is particularly sensitive for the State Department because Iran has yet to implement its side of the deal: The new transparency and limitations on the nuclear program are to begin in the coming weeks. State Department officials have said they fear more hardline elements of the regime in Tehran are trying to scuttle the deal for political advantage over President Hassan Rouhani, whose administration negotiated the accord.
.
In February, Iran will have parliamentary elections and elections for the powerful Guardian Council, the committee of clerics that would choose the next supreme leader of Iran after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dies. If anti-deal elements win those elections, the future of the nuclear deal will be dim.
.
These factors explain why hanoi-Kerry has been willing to overlook Iran's own provocations while trying to mitigate what Iran sees as provocations from the U.S. Congress. They also explain why Iran seems so intent to provoke the U.S. at the moment it's supposed to implement the deal to which it just agreed.

{dailywire.com} ~ Comedic legend Jerry Lewis recently sat down for an interview with the Catholic EWTV outlet. The riveting interview, which aired Thursday, concluded with current events, including nObama, Trump, ISIS and even the refugee crisis... Lewis did not hold back, bashing nObama as a failed leader, smacking down the idea of importing more Syrians, and praising GOP front-runner Donald Trump for his "showmanship." Raymond Arroyo, host of “World Over,” asked Lewis about the horrific emergence of ISIS. Lewis first wondered aloud where our NATO allies were to tackle the “world” problem and then commented that they are “asking to be stopped.” “They’re asking to be stopped and we’re not stopping them; we’re just reporting what they’re doing,” asserted Lewis. “It’s ridiculous!”

{wnd.com} ~ Hilly Clinton has now learned what some of Donald Trump’s GOP rivals have discovered about him: You won’t attack him with impunity, and you’d better not be vulnerable on the very same issue... Trump used colorful language to describe Barack nObama’s trouncing of Clinton in 2008 and also disparagingly referred to her prolonged bathroom break during the most recent Democratic presidential debate. Trump’s tactics and choice of language aside, Clinton clearly miscalculated her response, thinking that she could both brush Trump back and score points on his back by invoking the gender card. But you don’t succeed against someone by attacking the very practice that has elevated him to the top – in this case his skewering of political correctness.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/hillary-tough-feminist-hawk-or-feminine-victim/

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Earlier this year, Republican Gov. Garry Herbert ordered the state of Utah to no longer fund the local Planned Parenthood clinic... This was following the release of a series of disturbing videos by the Center of Medical Progress. In this footage, the clinic was exposed for harvesting aborted fetuses and selling the organs of aborted babies.  “The allegations against Planned Parenthood are deeply troubling,” said Herbert. “In light of ongoing concerns about the organization, I have instructed state agencies to cease acting as an intermediary for pass-through federal funds to Planned Parenthood.” Following this decision made in late September of this year, the Utah branch of Planned Parenthood immediately sued stating that the undercover footage was deceptively edited and that the clinic has always acted legally. The clinic was granted a temporary injunction to still receive funds, but that was officially put to a stop earlier this week. U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups has reversed the order for temporary funding and has ruled that the clinic be stripped of federal funds, until the lawsuit is resolved.

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Today Israel's bilateral relations with Brazil are moving toward a full-blown crisis. If the government doesn’t address the causes of the crisis, going forward it will find itself unable to competently advance Israel’s interests in the international community... Brazil has the ninth largest economy in the world and is a rapidly growing market for Israeli exports. Israel’s bilateral trade with Brazil expanded nearly 60 percent between 2009 and 2013. Israeli exports comprise two-thirds of the overall trade. Economics isn’t the only reason that Brazil and Israel have important joint interests. According to Alberto Nisman, the slain Argentinean prosecutor who investigated the Iranian bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, Brazil serves as a major hub for Iranian and Hezbollah activities in Latin America.

Below is Clinton's Kwanzaa-themed Twitter message and just a taste of the backlash that ensued. We can imagine Clinton was not planning on such an unwelcome reaction. One Twitter user even called Clinton "trifling."

{constitutionrising.com} ~ Hilly Clinton had a few nonsensical observations to throw out at a town hall event in New Hampshire on Tuesday. While she failed to address her role in the Benghazi attacks, her lying to the family members about a video or her lack of transparency... in the deliberate destruction of federal property and espionage, she was able to offer up the recently passed UN takeover scheme of climate change as a substitute through which to manipulate the perpetually mind-numb Democrats. In her attempts to evade accountability for her assaults on the American people and her deals in which she exchange our security for foundation cash, Clinton invoked the nonsense of climate as a means of polluting the political landscape. It’s a fitting distraction for the stupid people, the Democrats that believe in fairy tales, Chicken Little and global weather fraud. It’s the very kind of distraction from her criminal activities that can create an adequate diversion, helping to shield her from accountability for her misdeeds. Democrats don’t need much. They’ll believe anything.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ The next set of UN enabling claims need to be broken down precisely, as they are quite intrusive and destructive to our nation, potentially devastating... If their Agenda is implemented, as nObama and the UN have already committed us to, America as we know it will cease to exist. Their premise is simple, the world, including the United States, is an unjust, violent, unfair and chaotic place and as such is in need of a complete societal makeover; they’re just the oligarchs for the job. To that end they declare, “The new Agenda (2030 Sustainable Development) recognizes the need to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies that provide equal access to justice and that are based on respect for human rights (including the right to development), on effective rule of law and good governance at all levels and on transparent, effective and accountable institutions. Factors which give rise to violence, insecurity and injustice, such as inequality, corruption, poor governance and illicit financial and arms flows, are addressed in the Agenda. The nObama regime and subversive, compromised members of Congress continue with their treasonous assault on American sovereignty. Outright treason against the United States is a serious, capital offense being perpetrated at the highest levels, more than meeting the definition under the US Constitution of high crimes and misdemeanors.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24219

nObama Won’t Do It, So Texas Does –
Texas Governor Strips Funding 
from Sanctuary Cities!
Onan Coca
.
{eaglerising.com} ~ Texas Governor Greg Abbott has only been on the job for about a year, but he has already made his mark on the nation around him... Abbott has stood against Planned Parenthood, he has fought back against the gun grabbing attempts of the fascist liberal left, and now he has acting to end the scourge of Sanctuary cities in the Lone Star State. While President nObama chooses to dither and obfuscate the issue, and our legislature continues to fully fund Sanctuary cities around the country, we need more courageous Governors to stand up and follow Abbott’s lead. Sanctuary Cities across the country flaunt federal law and give shelter and aid to criminal illegal aliens in open defiance of our federal government… and yet the federal authorities do nothing. In fact, the Democrat Party continues to encourage the lawlessness these cities are breeding. Because of this utter disdain for the rule of law, it is incumbent upon our Governors to protect us from the criminal negligence of the federal government and their liberal Sanctuary Cities.

{aim.org} ~ Let me ask you a question. Let’s say you are an authentically moderate Muslim. Perhaps you were born into Islam but have become secularist... Or perhaps you consider yourself a devout Muslim but interpret Islam in a way that rejects violent jihad, rejects the concept that religious and civic life are indivisible, and rejects the principle that sharia’s totalitarian societal framework and legal code must be imposed on the state. Let’s just take that as a given: You are no more inclined toward terrorism than any truly peaceful, moderate, pro-democratic non-Muslim. So let me pop the question: Is there any insulting thing I could say, no matter how provocative, or any demeaning video I could show you, no matter how lurid, that could convince you to join ISIS? Mind you, I am not asking whether, upon my insulting and provoking you, you would ever want to have anything to do with me again. I am asking whether there is anything that could be said or done by me, or, say, Donald Trump, or Nakoula Basseley Nakoula – the video producer (Innocence of Muslims) whom Hilly Clinton and Barack nObama tried to blame for the Benghazi massacre – that could persuade you to throw up your hands and join the jihad? Is there anything so profoundly offensive to Islam that we could conjure up that would make a truly moderate, peaceful Muslim sign up for mass murder? Torching and beheading? Killing children? Participating in systematic rape as a weapon of war? I didn’t think so.

America's Hidden Jihad
Daniel Pipes
.
{danielpipes.org} ~ The police and press did an impressive job of sleuthing into the lives and motives of Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, the married couple who massacred 14 people on Dec. 2, in San Bernardino, California.
.
We know about their families, their studies and employment histories, their travels, their marriage, their statements, and their preparations for the assault. Most importantly, the cascade of background work means we know that the pair had jihadi intentions, meaning, they attacked in their role as pious Muslims spreading the message, law, and sovereignty of Islam.
.
We are all better off for knowing these facts, which have had a powerful impact on the body politic, making Americans far more concerned with jihadi violence than at any time since just after 9/11, as they should be. For example, in 2011, 53 percent told a pollster that terrorism was a critical issue; that number has now reached 75 percent.
.
But what about the case of Yusuf Ibrahim? In early 2013, when he was 27, this Egyptian-born Muslim lived in Jersey City, when he allegedly shot, then cut off the heads and hands and knocked the teeth out of two Coptic Christians, Hanny F. Tawadros and Amgad A. Konds, then buried them in Buena Vista Township, New Jersey.
.
wUmbfD-RXzcsXHgpSCn52GM0Co0reY6Rrt1OwN3i7BCOnm3eFMkBMAmtqbBwx3GGrFpzxp1cBvcWWT5C3V9CvQGjeaPAfyD5=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
.
He is charged with two counts each of murder, felony murder, kidnapping, robbery, desecration of human remains, and other crimes. In addition, he has pleaded guilty to a Dec. 22, 2011, carjacking and a Sep. 20, 2012, armed robbery, both in Jersey City (in the latter, he shot his victim in the foot), and early in 2015 he was sentenced to 18 years in prison for these later crimes.
.
The twin beheadings are spectacular, gruesome, and replete with jihadi (or in police parlance, "terrorist") elements. Historian Timothy Furnish explains that "ritual beheading has a long precedent in Islamic theology and history," making it a distinctly Muslim form of execution. A Muslim killing a non-Muslim fits the ageless pattern of Islamic supremacism. It also fits a tragic pattern of behavior in the United States in recent years.
.
Yet the police, politicians, the press, and professors (i.e., the Establishment) have shown not the slightest interest in the Islamic angle, treating the double beheadings and amputations as a routine local murder. Symptomatic of this, the police report about Ibrahim's arrest makes no mention of motivation; on the basis of this lack of mention, left-leaning Snopes.com (which describes itself as the "definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation") goes so far as to dismiss as "false" the allegation that the mainstream media "deliberately ignored" this incident. The wagons have been circled.
.
Almost three years after the event, we know next-to-nothing about Ibrahim, his motives, his possible connections to others, or his institutional affiliations. We also do not know the relationship of the accused attacker to his victims: Was he a criminal who fell out with his accomplices, a friend who had drunk too much, a would-be lover knocking off his rivals for the affections of a woman, a family member eliminating aspirants for an inheritance, a crazy man randomly shooting passers-by? Or was he perhaps a jihadi seeking to spread the message, law, and sovereignty of Islam?
.
I cannot answer those questions because the case lingers in total obscurity, popping up from time to time only in connection with some technical procedural matter (such as the amount of Ibrahim's bail or the admissibility of his confession) that sheds no light on the motives for his alleged crime.
.
Nor is the Ibrahim case unusual. I have compiled long lists of other potential instances of jihadi violence in which the Establishment has colluded to sweep the Islamic dimension under the rug, treating the perpetrators as common criminals whose biographies, motives, and connections are of no interest and therefore remain unknown.
.
This silence about possible jihad has the major consequence of lulling the American public (and its counterparts elsewhere in the West) into believing jihadi violence is far rarer than is the case. If the body politic understood the full extent of jihad in America, the alarm would be much greater; the percentage of those calling terrorism a critical issue would rise much higher than the current 75 percent. That, in turn, might push the Establishment finally to get serious about confronting jihad.

{investigativeproject.org} ~ Jihadist attacks in San Bernardino and Paris have Americans on edge. Yet part of the nObama White House's response to the attacks has been to invite Islamist groups that routinely demonize the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies to the White House to discuss a religious discrimination... "If we're to succeed in defeating terrorism we must enlist Muslim communities as some of our strongest allies, rather than push them away," President nObama said in his speech following the San Bernardino attack. But partnering with such organizations sends the wrong message to the American people, said Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AFID). "I think it says a lot when the president uses those organizations that have an ACLU-type mentality. They should have a seat at the table. That's fine," Jasser said.  "But not to include groups, which have completely different focuses about counter-radicalization, counter-Islamism creates this monolithic megaphone for demonization of our government and demonization of America that ends up radicalizing our community."

{meforum.org} ~ With each new speech they make, the nation's two top Democrats continue to reveal their profound ignorance of what motivates the enemy both promise to defeat... The White House trope that the prison camp in Guantanamo Bay must be closed because it inspires, recruits and ultimately creates terrorists is a stark illustration of the nObama administration's failure to understand the threat posed by Islamism. Without offering any evidence, the president tells audiences that "Guantanamo has been an enormous recruitment tool for organizations like ISIL." He argues that GITMO "is part of how they rationalize and justify their demented, sick perpetration of violence on innocent people." In reality the prison in Guantanamo Bay is not even a catalyst to the growth of the Islamic State. And until there are credible reports of jihadists, mid-attack, shouting "This is for Gitmo!" and "Release KSM!" rather than "This is for Syria!" and "Allahu Akbar," no thinking person will believe otherwise.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ With new leadership in the House of Representatives, an important return to regular order and a more inclusive process... the first Republican-controlled Congress in nine years ended 2015 by passing a number of substantial legislative achievements and conservative reforms that will benefit the American economy and the American people. More importantly, these legislative achievements were signed into law by a president who threatened to block much of this important progress. By breaking the gridlock, the Republican Congress passed a long-term highway funding bill for the first time in a decade that will strengthen our economy and provide states long-term certainty and flexibility for much-needed infrastructure projects. By advancing Republican principles and ideas, the government's 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports will be lifted, creating jobs here at home and shifting the energy dependence of emerging democracies away from bad actors like Russia and Iran. This year, the Republican Congress passed the first significant reform to Medicare that will strengthen and save this important program for current and future recipients, all without raising taxes. This legislation, signed into law by the president, repeals the flawed Sustainable Growth Rate physician reimbursement formula and replaces it with a system that brings stability to doctors who treat Medicare recipients.

{newsmax.com} ~ In September, U.S. State Department officials invited a foreign delegation to the Guantanamo Bay detention center to persuade the group to take detainee Tariq Ba Odah to their country... If they succeeded, the transfer would mark a small step toward realizing President Barack nObama's goal of closing the prison before he leaves office. The foreign officials told the administration they would first need to review Ba Odah's medical records, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the episode. The Yemeni has been on a hunger strike for seven years, dropping to 74 pounds from 148, and the foreign officials wanted to make sure they could care for him. To slow prisoner transfers, Pentagon officials have refused to provide photographs, complete medical records and other basic documentation to foreign governments willing to take detainees, administration officials said. They have made it increasingly difficult for foreign delegations to visit Guantanamo, limited the time foreign officials can interview detainees and barred delegations from spending the night at Guantanamo.

{thedailysheeple.com} ~ The latest dilemma facing economists is why “unequivocally good” low oil prices haven’t sparked excuberant consumer spending across America... We have discussed the simple (though awkward for the establishment) answer many times – soaring costs for ‘shelter’ and healthcare have hoovered up every penny saved (and more); and now, a new study proves it – exposing the reality that many nObamacare customers pay more than 10 percent of their incomes toward coverage (and some paying considerably more). The shocking findings show that, as CNBC summarizes, One in 10 nObamacare customers who earn between just two and five times the federal poverty level will have coverage costs that exceed 21 percent of their incomes, an analysis by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute found.        http://www.thedailysheeple.com/study-proves-obamacare-is-sucking-up-10-of-americans-incomes_122015

{constitutionrising.com} ~ In a video by Russian-owned RT, what is presented as a captured ISIS fighter in an interrogation style interview provides some new insight into the activities and behind the scenes interactions between supposed enemies, ISIS and Turkey... The two were recently accused of being engaged in a black market oil trafficking operation following the shooting down of a Russian aircraft. Those accusations have been denied by Turkish President Erdogan. The revelations are quite damning if they are true, including the use of Turkish territory for training by ISIS in the interest of safety, a means for ISIS to avoid being targeted in airstrikes. Turkey, according to the report, isn’t denying that the training is taking place but claim the trainees, those that this ISIS fighter somehow had knowledge of, were actually Syrian “rebels” who were being prepared to fight ISIS. It’s the standard line of nObama, hanoi-Kerry, McCain and all of those who want to dump arms into the overthrow of Assad, portraying any insurgent willing to pull a trigger pointed towards Damascus as a freedom fighter.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/24195

Veterans can expect more bad

{aim.org} ~ Don’t be fooled by last week’s headlines about more money and greater accountability at the Veterans Affairs Department. It’s the usual malarkey coming out of Washington... The prognosis for veterans who need health care remains poor, with vets likely to get the run-around and face delays again in 2016. On Friday, Congress passed an omnibus spending bill for the coming year that allocates a whopping $163 billion to the Veterans Administration – even more than the department requested. But as long as the VA is riddled with corruption and saddled with job-protection rules that favor employees instead of vets, that’s throwing good money after bad. As for the latest highly touted whistleblower-protection law signed by President nObama last Friday, there were whistleblower protections already on the books. What’s lacking is the will to enforce them. Adding more pages of laws won’t fix that.

In From The Cold And Out Again… 
How The CIA Was Duped And 
Their Double Agent Failure

{trevorloudon.com} ~ Bill Gertz at the Washington Free Beacon has written a fascinating piece on the CIA being fooled by scores of double agents who pledged their loyalty to the agency, but instead reported back to the communists during the Cold War right on up into the present day... As I have said for years… the Cold War never ended, it shifted. Now Benjamin B. Fischer, the CIA’s former chief historian, analyst and operations officer, is verifying what I have long said. That is cold comfort, I assure you. The duping of the CIA included at least 100 fake recruits in East Germany, Cuba and Russia. For decades, these double agents supplied false intelligence to senior U.S. policymakers that ranged all the way to the presidency. And it’s still happening. Fischer writes, “During the Cold War, the Central Intelligence Agency bucked the law of averages by recruiting double agents on an industrial scale; it was hoodwinked not a few but many times.” Is anyone surprised by this? Trevor Loudon and I have both said for years that the agencies and our governmental leaders couldn’t pass a background check to clean a toilet. It was true then and it is true today. These double agents weren’t thoroughly vetted. They were hurriedly turned and because of sloppiness, we invited the enemy into the midst of our intelligence agencies. It’s mind boggling. In an article last week, Fischer stated, “The result was a massive but largely ignored intelligence failure.” How’s that for national security? Feeling warm and fuzzy yet?        http://www.trevorloudon.com/2015/12/in-from-the-cold-and-out-again-how-the-cia-was-duped-and-their-double-agent-failure/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewZeal+%28New+Zeal+Blog%29

Why former Pentagon chief 
Chuck Hagel's coming out against
the White House matters
Dan Lamothe
.
GKKLERp-2GPnVfV2B-6jEgraoY8Wcm1-zpjzApc8hn4XVfI7dF4Y970JB6WSMoYu54nFtqj6EbUSa1m4JbAUTKPzqeT4biHhDtMc5CH1djzFwfNLUqO7VIAdsq6UKqXtdvVs4xvq-WKFFh4PrRJY-HfutPrXl5mTgqx7_4Q9h366P22pSbR_NG19Jukcg7iLww=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ When Chuck Hagel resigned as defense secretary last year, the narrative was clear: President Barack nObama and he did not see eye-to-eye on how to prosecute the war against the Islamic State, so Hagel needed to go. White House officials, speaking anonymously, said at the time that the president had lost faith in Hagel's ability to lead - a charge that Hagel's advisers brushed aside.
.
Now, a little over a year later, Hagel is swinging back. In an interview with Foreign Policy magazine published on Friday, he said he remains puzzled why White House officials tried to "destroy" him personally in his last days in office, adding that he was convinced the United States had no viable strategy in Syria and was particularly frustrated with National Security Adviser Susan Rice, who he said would hold meetings and focus on "nit-picky" details.
.
"I eventually got to the point where I told Susan Rice that I wasn't going to spend more than two hours in these meetings," Hagel told Foreign Policy. "Some of them would go four hours."
.
Hagel said the administration struggled with how to handle Syria - hardly a surprise, given the way nObama said in August 2012 that it would be a "red line" for the United States if Syria moved or used its chemical weapons stockpiles, but did not intervene militarily the following year when Syria did so. Hagel said that hurt nObama's credibility, even if declared stockpiles eventually were removed through an agreement reached with Damascus.
.
"Whether it was the right decision or not, history will determine that," Hagel told Foreign Policy. "There's no question in my mind that it hurt the credibility of the president's word when this occurred."
.
The White House declined to comment on the article. However, an administration official disagreed anonymously with many assertions in Hagel's interview. Waiting before launching cruise missiles provided a window for the chemical weapons agreement reached, the official said.
.
Hagel is far from the first former Pentagon chief in nObama's administration to later criticize the president and his staff. But he just might be the most unlikely. A former Republican senator from Nebraska, he saw eye-to-eye with nObama on many national security issues before he was nominated. Like nObama, he also was a strong critic of President George W. Bush's war in Iraq - one of the first in the Republican Party.
.
The two men also still have a friendly relationship, Hagel told Foreign Policy. Nonetheless, he just took several large steps down the same road as Robert Gates and Leon Panetta, who preceded Hagel at the Pentagon and later laid out their grievances in memoirs written after they left office.
.
Gates, who served for both President George W. Bush and nObama, wrote in a book released early last year that he was "seething" and "running out of patience with on multiple fronts" with the administration. All too often, he wrote, "suspicion and distrust of senior military officers by senior White House officials - including the president and vice president - became a big problem for me as I tried to manage the relationship between the commander in chief and his military leaders."
.
Panetta followed last fall with his own book, saying nObama had a "frustrating reticence to engage his opponents and rally support for his cause" and too frequently "relies on the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader." In an interview promoting the book, he added that the president had "kind of lost his way" and was partly to blame for the collapse of the Iraqi government last year because he didn't press harder to keep American troops in the country in 2011, ahead of a complete military withdrawal.
.
Hagel, for his part, told Foreign Policy that he got "the hell beat out of him" figuratively at the White House for delaying in signing transfer orders to release detainees from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, when he had concerns about the individuals involved. He also said he felt micro-managed - something that Gates, Panetta and other defense officials have all expressed.
.
"There is a danger in all of this," Hagel told Foreign Policy, referring to White House micromanagement and the administration's expanding national security staff. "This is about governance; this isn't about political optics. It's about making the country run and function, and trying to stay ahead of the dangers and the threats you see coming."

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Protestors took to the streets of Turkey earlier this week to protest the presence of a decorated Christmas tree. The tree that incited the protests is located in Istanbul’s Maltepe Square and immediately angered Muslims... Crowds gathered in the center of the square with signs, some that read “Musluman noel kutlamaz” which translates to “Muslims do not celebrate Christmas.” One protester shouted “That charlatan called Santa Claus is the father of Christians! We’re a nation of the Prophet Muhammad.” Some Muslims, including the activists from the Fatih Generation Youth Education Association felt that the Christmas decorations were a slap in the face and Turkey was not being sensitive to their religion.        http://punchingbagpost.com/muslims-protest-santa-decorated-christmas-tree

It is similar to the Islamic word “kafir” or infidel, designed to degrade and silence speech... I wish America would not shy away from teaching that all cultures and religions are not equal, especially in their adherence to values of human rights and individual freedoms. I wish America would reject any religion or ideology that commands the killing of apostates or members who leave it; such is not a religion, but a dangerous cult that must never be given equal treatment and respect with Biblical-based faiths...

{aei.org} ~ Back in 1993, the misanthropic art critic Robert Hughes published a grumpy, entertaining book called “Culture of Complaint,” in which he predicted that America was doomed to become increasingly an “infantilized culture” of victimhood... It was a rant against what he saw as a grievance industry appearing all across the political spectrum.

Unfortunately, the intervening two decades have made Mr. Hughes look prophetic and me look naïve. “Victimhood culture” has now been identified as a widening phenomenon by mainstream sociologists. And it is impossible to miss the obvious examples all around us. We can laugh off some of them, for example, the argument that the design of a Starbucks cup is evidence of a secularist war on Christmas. Others, however, are more ominous.

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ It is that Dumb Idea of the Year Award time again, and among the many stellar contenders, one in particular stands out...The diplomatic convention in Great Britain is that new ambassadors present themselves at the Court of St James. There they meet representatives of the monarch and are officially recognized as representing their state in the UK. So it would be interesting to consider even just the earliest ramifications of the British  Independent newspaper contributor Vadim Nikitim getting his way. This is the genius who last week bypassed all those tedious arguments over whether or not ISIS constitutes a state, and proposed not only that we treat it as such but that it is also time to grant ISIS diplomatic recognition. Mr. Nikitim's argument was that pariah states can be brought in to the international system through such measures, as U.S. President Barack nObama presumably imagines he is doing with Iran. Nikitim invites us to consider the precedent of the USSR. And rather than realizing that the USSR collapsed because its economic system caused it to collapse, Nikitim seems to think that the Soviet Union fell apart because countries such as the US and UK recognized it diplomatically -- demonstrating that there is no better way to get the present wrong than by getting the past wrong. He argues,

{clarionproject.org} ~ The Islamic State’s self-proclaimed Caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi released an audio message exhorting Muslims to join him in his war against all non-believers... In the clip, which has not been independently verified, Baghdadi disparaged the anti-terrorism coalition assembled by Saudi Arabia, calling into question its Islamic credentials. “If the Saudi Islamic coalition was actually Islamic it would have stated its goals to liberate Palestine” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reportedly said “and help the people of Sham [Syria] and declared war against the Rafida [Shiites]. If it were Islamic atheistic China wouldn’t have joined it.”   The threats against Israel mark a departure in the rhetoric of the Islamic State, which, although it has always been deeply anti-Semitic, has not focused on Israel until now. It remains to be seen when and how ISIS will change its actions to fit with the new rhetoric.

{lidblog.com} ~ Call it the JCPOA, the P5+1 nuclear deal, the big crap sandwich, or your own pet nickname, one of the biggest stories of 2015 was the Democratic Party sellout of America’s future to the terrorist supporting Iranian regime... In the process they also angered our two biggest Middle East allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia, and in the process at times resorted to anti-Semitism. All of it was to give Barack nObama a foreign policy legacy. One of the biggest misnomers the Dems made about the deal was the only reason to reject it was that it put Israel in danger.  Although true, here in America a bigger reason to reject the deal was that it put America in danger. Israel is only the little Satan; the United States is the big Satan. Something the Iranians proved with their constant rallies calling for the “Death to America.” In the end the Democrats were so worried that America would show their hatred of the deal, they filibustered, not allowing a vote in the senate. As 2015 began, we heard reports that President nObama and John hanoi-Kerry were capitulating to every Iranian demand. These capitulations included abandoning the promise that a deal would abolish Iran’s nuke program and allow the rogue nation to continue enriching uranium. Some source said in January, that the U.S. had already given Iran 80% of what it wanted.

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ The nObama Administration and the Department of Homeland security are making plans to hunt down and deport hundreds – maybe thousands – of illegal immigrants... The campaign is rumored to begin in January. ICE agents will target only families who have already been ordered to leave the country.  While this surge has been downplayed by other immigration problems, more than 100,000 families from violent Central America have illegally crossed into the US during the past year. According to The Washington Post, officials are being coy about the details of the plan and DHS has yet to give its final approval. The entire campaign is viewed as controversial by our immigrant-loving president. Jeh Johnson of the DHS is a strong supporter of the campaign. He feels the need to do something as the rate of illegal immigration increases and has stated publically for months now that families who have been asked to leave by a judge will soon face deportation. Pressure for deportations has also increased after a recent court decision that ordered the DHS to start releasing families held in detention centers. This is hard to believe.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The Muslim Brotherhood is to Islamic terrorism what a virus is to disease. Major terrorist leaders from the Caliph of ISIS to Arafat have the Muslim Brotherhood on their resume... And the current leader of Al Qaeda led a Muslim Brotherhood splinter terror group. But its linkages to Islamic terrorism are only a secondary aspect of the organization whose focus is on Islamizing nations through more subtle means. Paradoxically the Brotherhood has met with far less success in the Muslim world than in the West. Its greatest victories in the Arab Spring would not have happened without nObama’s backing and its takeovers of Egypt and Tunisia were rolled back by popular uprisings while its efforts in Libya, Syria and Yemen were stymied by armed conflict with other Muslims. The Muslim Brotherhood is unpopular in Egypt these days. It’s also unpopular with Americans. Unfortunately nObama is at odds with the views of most Americans. The Muslim Brotherhood may have lost power in Cairo, but it still wields a great deal of power in Washington D.C. Brotherhood front groups such as CAIR and ISNA have open access to the media and dominate all discussions about Islam. The MSA dominates American campuses despite its history of terror ties.

{freedomsback.com} ~ Last Saturday, Barack nObama gained the second jewel in his foreign policy triple crown: the Paris climate accord. It follows his Iran nuclear deal and awaits but the closing of Guantanamo to complete his glittering legacy.
.
To be sure, nObama will not be submitting the climate agreement for Senate ratification. It would have no chance of passing — as with the Iranian nuclear deal, also never submitted for the Senate ratification nObama knew he’d never get. And if he does close Guantánamo, it will be in defiance of overwhelming bipartisan congressional opposition.
.
You see, visionary thinkers like nObama cannot be bound by normal constitutional strictures. Indeed, the very unpopularity of his most cherished diplomatic goals is proof of their prophetic farsightedness.
.
Yet the climate deal brought back from Paris by Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry turns out to be no deal at all. It is, instead, a series of carbon-reducing promises made individually and unilaterally by the world’s nations.
.
No enforcement, no sanctions, nothing legally binding. No matter, explained hanoi-Kerry on “Fox News Sunday”: “This mandatory reporting requirement … is a serious form of enforcement, if you will, of compliance, but there is no penalty for it, obviously.”
.
If you think that’s gibberish, you’re not alone. NASA scientist James Hansen, America’s leading carbon abolitionist, indelicately called the whole deal “bulls—.”
.
He’s right.
.
The great Paris achievement is supposed to be global “transparency.” But what can that possibly amount to when you can’t even trust the reporting? Just three months ago, the world’s greatest carbon emitter, China, admitted to having under reported its burning of coal by 17 percent, a staggering error (assuming it wasn’t a deliberate deception) equal to the entire coal consumption of Germany.
.
I’m a climate-change agnostic. But I’m realistic enough to welcome prudent hedging against a possible worst-case scenario. I’ve long advocated for a multilateral agreement (unilateral U.S. actions being climatically useless and economically suicidal) negotiated with the most important players — say, India, China and the European Union — containing real limits, real numbers and real enforcement. That would be a genuine achievement.
.
What the climate-change conference produced instead was hot air, applauded by 196 well-fed participants. (Fourteen nights in Paris, after all.) China promises to begin reducing carbon emissions 15 years from now. India announced it will be tripling its coal-fired electricity capacity by 2030. Meanwhile, the nObama administration is effectively dismantling America’s entire coal industry.
.
Looking for guidance on how the U.S. will fare under this new environmental regime? Take a glance at nObama’s other great triumph, the Iran nuclear accord.
.
Does the American public know that the Iranian parliament has never approved it? And that the Iranian president has never signed it? Iran is not legally bound to anything. As the State Department freely admitted (in a letter to Rep. Mike Pompeo of the House Intelligence Committee), the deal “is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document.” But don’t worry. Its success “will depend not on whether it is legally binding or signed, but rather on the extensive verification measures” and our “capacity to reimpose — and ramp up — our sanctions if Iran does not meet its commitments.”
.
And how is that going?
.
On Nov. 21, Iran conducted its second test of a nuclear-capable ballistic missile in direct contravention of two U.N. Security Council prohibitions, including one that incorporates the current nuclear agreement — which bans such tests for eight years.
.
Our response? After Iran’s first illegal launch in October, the administration did nothing. A few words at the United Nations. Weren’t we repeatedly assured that any Iranian violation would be met with vigorous action? No worry, again. As U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power told a congressional hearing last week, “discussions are a form of U.N. action.” .
The heart sinks.
.
It was obvious from the very beginning that the whole administration promise of “snapback” sanctions was a farce. The Iranians knew it. Hence their contempt for even the prospect of American push back: two illegal missile launches conducted ostentatiously even before sanctions are lifted and before they receive their $150 billion in unfrozen assets early next year.
.
Why not? They know nObama will ignore, downplay and explain away any violation, lest it jeopardize his transformative foreign policy legacy. .
It’s a legacy of fictional agreements. The proliferators and the polluters are not bound. By our own volition, we are.
.
Only Guantanamo remains. Within a month, one-sixth of the remaining prisoners will be released. nObama will not be denied.

{breitbart.com} ~ An E. coli epidemic in Seattle and Kansas City and 19 other states? TB in New York and Manassas, Virginia? Leprosy in New Hampshire? Dengue Fever in Laredo? What’s going on here?... If you think data about illegal alien crime is hidden from public, just try to find information on the contagious diseases brought across our borders by illegal aliens from nearly 100 countries. If we survey the anecdotal and sporadic official data of the past fifteen years, there is no doubt we are being invaded daily by dangerous diseases. There is good reason to believe the government is minimizing this risk as part of its disinformation campaign to sanitize illegal immigration and to portray all critics as “anti-immigrant.” Although the U.S. Border Patrol publishes frequent reports on the number of individuals apprehended crossing the border, no agency publishes reports on the diseases they bring with them and then carry into our communities.

{jihadwatch.org} ~ The Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency, announced that it broke up a large Hamas terror cell that operated an explosives laboratory and planned to carry out suicide bombings, The Times of Israel reported Wednesday... The majority of the cell’s members were students at Al-Quds University in Abu Dis, near Jerusalem, and two of them were Israeli citizens. Their makeshift laboratory, also in Abu Dis, contained stores of chemicals necessary for making explosives, including the kind most often used in suicide vests. According to the Shin Bet, the cell was controlled by Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip. “This case reveals and highlights again the involvement of the military arm of Hamas from the Gaza Strip, which operates continuously with the intent of carrying out mass-casualty attacks within Israel and the West Bank,” the agency said.

Even those of us who recognize that the United Nations is an evil, anti-American, subversive force working specifically to undermine our Constitution and to establish a world government in which we our Constitution and rights are subjugated might be shocked to learn the degree to which they have already accomplished major portions of their agenda. Last September, at the Sustainable Development Summit in New York, the UN, with a large degree of George Soros and other elite-funded fanfare and demonstrations, implemented world government controls. The usual “celebrity trash” was there, with Beyonce and Mooch nObama drooling over each other to the delight of the stupid people in attendance who showed up for the “free entertainment,” all it costs them is their future and that of their children, their grandchildren and beyond. The lose lips-Bidens were there as well and Hussein nObama appeared on video.

{leanrightamerica.org} ~ President nObama paused between Hawaiian golf courses on Christmas Eve to deliver an address on the plight of Middle Eastern Christians. Why the sudden urgency about a religious minority he has never before seemed interested in protecting?,,, Perhaps he’s worried that Americans will realize his administration was applying a religious test long before Donald Trump started talking. “In some areas of the Middle East where church bells have rung for centuries on Christmas Day, this year they will be silent,” nObama said. “This silence bears tragic witness to the brutal atrocities committed against these communities by ISIL.nObama may keep these Christians in his heart, but he’s not made much of an effort to bring them into the country. Despite his commitment to bring thousands of Syrian refugees into America, a recent State Department release proved that not all Syrian refugees are alike. According to the numbers, only 3% of Syrian refugees who have been brought into the U.S. are Christians. The rest are Muslim, and many of those Muslims are Sunnis – the exact ethnic strain most closely associated with terrorism.        http://www.leanrightamerica.org/uncategorized/obamas-hypocritical-speech-on-persecuted-christians/

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ More than 1,200 pages of documents were recently released by The Department of Energy after The Daily Caller News Foundation requested records related to a biofuels company called Abengoa... The problem with these documents? They were heavily redacted, leading many to point to a cover up in the making. The Daily Caller News Foundation submitted a Freedom of Information Act request asking government officials for email records surrounding the federal loans granted to the Spanish-based green energy company, Abengoa. Despite receiving these loans, there were whispers that Abengoa had recently ran into huge financial issues that were bankrupting the company. Abengoa received a $137 million federal loan and $97 million grant to build a biofuels plant near Hugoton, Kansas, however operations recently stopped at this plant after just a year. The company filed for bankruptcy in Spain earlier this year, listing U.S. taxpayers as the biggest creditor.       http://punchingbagpost.com/redacted-department-of-energy-documents-hint-at-cover-up/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ This was not a happy Christmas for our Palestinian brothers in the West Bank who happen to be Christian. The Palestinian Christians have now become a tiny minority in Bethlehem... This year, they were just lucky that Christmas passed without a major terrorist attack or serious outbreaks of violence. On Christmas day, Muslim Palestinians hurled stones at the car taking the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Fouad Twal, to Bethlehem. Twal, head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, was fortunately not hurt in the attack. The stone-throwers, local residents said, were from a refugee camp near Bethlehem. They had apparently said they were opposed to holding any form of celebrations in Bethlehem -- on the pretext that there is no reason to celebrate while Palestinians are being killed by Israelis -- who, by the way, have merely been trying to stop Palestinians from killing them. There is no guarantee, however, that next year's Christmas in Bethlehem --- and other Palestinian cities and villages -- will be safe for our Christian brothers. It would not be surprising if next year the Palestinian Authority (PA) decides to cancel Christmas celebrations for "security reasons."

The scary thing is this is happening as we speak. An Islamic judge in the U.S. has done away with the Bible in her court room replacing it instead with a Koran.

{townhall.com} ~ Our news media are so overwhelmingly obsequious to the Democrats that Hilly Clinton can imply the relatives of the Americans killed in Benghazi are liars on national TV, and no one in the press blinks an eye or finds it newsworthy.
.
ABC is about to host another one of those hide-and-seek Saturday night Democrat debates. There is something very ironic here: It was on this network where she made that outrageous statement.
.
Clinton lied to her former employee (and donor) George Stephanopoulos on his ABC program "This Week" on Dec. 6. In his toughest question of the day, George told his pal, "Some GOP rivals and family members of the Benghazi victims are saying you lied to them in the hearing. They point to emails that you sent the night of Benghazi attack, one to your daughter, Chelsea Clinton, saying... 'Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an al-Qaida-like group.'" He added that she had told the Egyptian prime minister on a phone call on Sept. 12, 2012, "We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film."
.

Clinton denied ever telling the Benghazi relatives that it could be blamed on an anti-Muhammad video: "No. ... I understand the continuing grief at the loss that parents experienced with the loss of these four brave Americans. And I did testify, as you know, for 11 hours. And I answered all of these questions. Now, I can't -- I can't help it that people think there has to be something else there."

.
So are the relatives of these deceased heroes liars?

.
None of the networks picked up on this question and answer. The Washington Post only picked up her hawkish talk about fighting ISIS, not her attack on the Benghazi relatives. The New York Times and USA Today completely skipped any mention of her ABC interview.

.
The New York Post did what all of them should have done. They rounded up the relatives, who reiterated that Clinton told them as the caskets arrived at Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14, 2012 that it could be blamed on a YouTube video. Charles Woods, the father of Tyrone Woods, recalled hugging Clinton and that "she said we are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of my son."

.
Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, said Clinton is "absolutely lying. ... She said it was because of the video." Smith's uncle backed her up.

.
Kate Quigley, the sister of Glen Doherty, agreed: "When I think back now to that day and what she knew, it shows me a lot about her character that she would choose in that moment to basically perpetuate what she knew was untrue."

.
That matches what Clinton said at the ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base: "We've seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with."

.
Quigley was stronger in a Boston radio interview: "This is a woman that will do and say anything to get what she wants. I have very little respect for her. I know what she said to me and she can say all day long that she didn't say it. That's her cross to bear."

.
These relatives can occasionally be found sharing their pain and outrage in interviews on Fox News and on CNN. But ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS can't find them.

.
The same outlets that lionized "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan over and over again as she trashed Bush as a "terrorist" in August of 2005 stay silent. Today, any grieving relative who lacerates Clinton is just buried in a cave like nuclear waste.

In reviewing posts put up on this site during the past 12 months, there were 111 articles exposing a lie, scandal or flip flop by the presumptive Democratic Party nominee. Some of them were early in the year and may have been forgotten, others were scandals that were sub-sets of other scandals.

In June, years worth of political and legal battles found their way to the Supreme Court.

The decision was not surprising given previous rulings by the same justices, but Liberty Counsel Chairman Mathew Staver told WND and Radio America it was disgraceful nonetheless.

{gatestoneinstitute.org/} ~ It was not supposed to have happened this way. In 1995 a number of EU member states signed the Schengen Agreement, integrated into European Union law in 1999... The signatory powers promised to abandon their internal border protection in exchange for a promise by the EU authorities that they would police Europe's external borders. Then the EU authorities, while demanding that the Schengen states keep their borders open, spectacularly failed to honor their part of the agreement. There can be little doubt that the EU packed up, walked out and left its populations to their own devices. Sadly, their policies have achieved the exact opposite of what they claimed to strive for. Instead of tolerance, we have witnessed division and irreconcilable enmity between cultures and ethnicities that often have nothing in common except a desire to squeeze as much out of the public coffers as they can. Instead of "inclusion," Europeans have seen exclusion, low-intensity warfare, terror, no-go zones, rape epidemics, murder and mayhem. Do we want this in America?

Iran's Guard Corps Receives
Precision Ballistic Missile System

It may be used in pending war games, Salami said. Tests on the Emad missiles in October may have violated United Nations Security Council resolutions. The system is touted for its precision, described as "steerable" until just before impact. While it is primarily for conventional weapons, the missiles can carry nuclear warheads.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ December 17, 2015 ought henceforth to be a date which will live in infamy, as that was the day that some of the leading Democrats in the House of Representatives came out in favor of the destruction of the First Amendment... Sponsored by among others, Muslim Congressmen Keith Ellison and Andre Carson, as well as Eleanor Holmes Norton, Loretta Sanchez, Charles Rangel, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Joe Kennedy, Al Green, Judy Chu, Debbie Dingell, Niki Tsongas, John Conyers, José Serrano, Hank Johnson, and many others, House Resolution 569 condemns “violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States.” The Resolution has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. That’s right: “violence, bigotry and hateful rhetoric.” The implications of those five words will fly by most people who read them, and the mainstream media, of course, will do nothing to elucidate them. But what H. Res. 569 does is conflate violence -- attacks on innocent civilians, which have no justification under any circumstances – with “bigotry” and “hateful rhetoric,” which are identified on the basis of subjective judgments. The inclusion of condemnations of “bigotry” and “hateful rhetoric” in this Resolution, while appearing to be high-minded, take on an ominous character when one recalls the fact that for years, Ellison, Carson, and his allies (including groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR) have been smearing any and all honest examination of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to incite hatred and violence as “bigotry” and “hateful rhetoric.” This Resolution is using the specter of violence against Muslims to try to quash legitimate research into the motives and goals of those who have vowed to destroy us, which will have the effect of allowing the jihad to advance unimpeded and unopposed.         http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/261268/house-democrats-move-criminalize-criticism-islam-robert-spencer

'Taliban Iman' gets gun training from CAIR

{frontpagemag.com} ~ CAIR’s Nezar Hamze is on a mission to give gun training to every radical mosque in Florida,,. This month, while Jews have been preoccupied with Hanukkah and Christians have been readying themselves for Christmas, Hamze has been not-so-quietly hopping from mosque to mosque telling those who may very well be a danger to society that they have a right to take up arms. He has done at least 16 of these training sessions. One of his stops has been to a mosque whose imam was arrested for financing the Taliban. On December 14th, Masjid Jamaat Al-Mumineen (MJAM), located in Margate, Florida, held an event sponsored by the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to teach the congregants of MJAM weapons training. The teacher, Nezar Hamze, is the CEO and Regional Operations Director of CAIR-Florida. He is also a Deputy Sheriff at the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO), so he knows proper technique in handling and using guns and is apparently ready to hand that knowledge over to potential jihadists who should not have it. CAIR was established in June 1994 as part of the American Palestine Committee, a terrorist umbrella group headed by then-global head of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook. In 2007 and 2008, CAIR was named by the US Justice Department a co-conspirator for two federal trials dealing with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas. Since its founding, a number of CAIR representatives have served jail time and/or have been deported from the US for terrorist-related crimes. In November 2014, the UAE government designated CAIR a terrorist group. Then why is CAIR still in America?

{thenewamerican.com} ~ For all those who still have to deal with that crazy uncle over the Christmas season who insists that human emissions of the gas of life, or carbon dioxide, are causing dangerous global warming, fear not — the solution has arrived... It is called Climate Hustle, and it masterfully debunks the claims of the “climate cult,” as many experts now refer to the alarmist movement, like no other resource produced thus far. Well-known analysts are already saying it will turn the tables on the alarmists. But more importantly, it will bring to light the facts and the science surrounding alleged man-made global warming that the establishment press has tried so hard to conceal. The new documentary, which premiered in Paris this month amid the United Nations COP21 “climate change” summit, will serve as the perfect antidote to the increasingly shrill global-warming alarmism being peddled by the UN, the nObama administration, and others. It will also be exactly the tool you need to educate any remaining global-warming alarmists you may know, particularly those who got their inaccurate beliefs from error-riddled propaganda films such as Al Gore's discredited “documentary” An Inconvenient Truth, which was essentially banned in U.K. schools after a court recognized it was filled with falsehoods and ordered that children be warned about them in advance.  http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/22221-documentary-climate-hustle-exposes-global-warming-con-job?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Documentary%20%26ldquo%3BClimate%20Hustle%26rdquo%3B%20Exposes%20Global-warming%20Con%20Job&utm_campaign=Will%20Obama%20use%20Executive%20Orders%20on%20Gun%20Rights%3Fcontent

Hilly's Stolen Voter Data: 
a DNC Plant on the Sanders Team?

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ The Sanders campaign team got into a bit of trouble last week when one of their own – Josh Uretsky – was caught stealing voter data related to Hilly Clinton... A Sanders adviser suspects that Uretsky may have been a DNC plant. Uretsky was fired, but Sanders and his team were instantly cut off from accessing the database. They regained permission after filing a lawsuit. But now a Sanders adviser is claiming that Uretsky may have been a DNC (Democratic National Committee) Plant. According to Mediaite:  “A Bernie Sanders campaign adviser made some pretty strong insinuations that the staffer who they had to fire for breaching Hilly Clinton’s voter data was a DNC plant.” “It’s not as if we conjured this guy Josh from thin air,” the adviser told Hunter Walker of Yahoo News. Turns out Uretsky had been recommended by individuals close to the DNC and NGP VAN (the firm contracted by the DNC to run the voter file). Investigations revealed that Uretsky was recommended by the DNC’s National Data Director – a person who was very involved in the voter file program and had even worked as the COO of NGP VAN.

Congressional Black Caucus 
Turns Back on Its Own Children
STAR PARKER
.
{freedomsback.com} ~ The omnibus spending bill just passed by Congress is, if nothing else, in the spirit of the season. It’s a huge Christmas tree: a grand structure on which every political interest imaginable has hung its own pet program.
.
This is to the tune of $1.1 trillion to $1.8 trillion in explicit spending and another $622 billion in indirect spending through “tax extenders.”
.
Yet, as lobbyists in Washington showed up en masse for their shares of the fruitcake, one group was elbowed out and left with coal for its stocking.
.
That would be minority children in our nation’s capital.
.
The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which for 10 years has provided vouchers for low-income minority children in Washington, D.C., to escape from one of the nation’s worst public school systems and attend a private school, was not reauthorized in this latest spending orgy. As result, after the funding runs out at the end of next year, the program will shut down, unless resuscitated from scratch.
.
The Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice reported in 2014, regarding this program, that “98.8 percent of students helped this year alone were students of color, most low-income; voucher students were 25 percent more likely to enroll in college than their peers; (there was a) 91 percent graduation rate, making voucher students 21 percent more likely to graduate than their counterparts.”
.
The program started in 2004 under President George W. Bush.
.
Four years ago President nObama tried to kill the program, but it was saved by Speaker John backstabber-Boehner.
.
Now we are hearing some harsh words about the failure of Republicans to save the D.C. scholarship program from hostile Democrats this time around.
.
But why isn’t anyone asking the more logical question?
.
Where are the black leaders? Why aren’t they looking out for the interests of their own children?
.
The 46-member-strong Congressional Black Caucus supposedly exists to watch for the unique interests of America’s black community. CBC Chairman G. K. Butterfield, D-N.C., issued a press release indicating opposition to the omnibus bill.
.
“The CBC advocates for African American communities,” says the press release. “Historically, black communities and institutions have been victims of budget cuts as Congress attempts to reduce the deficit. We have reached a breaking point. African Americans and other communities of color can no longer absorb the cuts and allow deficit reduction to take place on the backs of our constituents.”
.
This spending bill increases both overall spending and the deficit. Nevertheless, the D.C. voucher program is cut and the Congressional Black Caucus does nothing.
.
The explanation is that the Black Caucus is more interested in the politics and economics of union power — the teachers unions oppose voucher programs — than in the education of black children.
.
Last month, Hilly Clinton, who as the prospective Democrat presidential candidate can likely count on 90 percent of the black vote, pulled her support for charter schools (which are also opposed by the teachers unions who have endorsed her).
.
“I am … fully aware that there are a lot of substandard public schools,” she said. “But part of the reason for that is that policymakers and local politicians will not fund schools in poor areas that take care of poor children to the level that they need to be.”
.
But D.C.’s public schools are among the best-funded as well as among the worst-performing in the nation. According to the Cato Institute, D.C. public schools have been spending $30,000 per student in recent years. This compared to an average voucher cost of less than $9,000 per student, with better results than public schools.
.
As we watch the ongoing stories of crime and violence in urban areas, and the outcries and allegations of racism that supposedly drive all this, let’s keep in mind the deepest problem in black America.
.
Their political leadership is corrupt and too busy feathering their nests to take care of their own children.

{aei.org} ~ The nObama administration insists that it is safe to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees because we have “very extensive screening procedures” in place... “It involves our intelligence community, our national counterterrorism center, extensive interviews, vetting them against all the available information,” deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes recently declared. He left out one fact: Those screening procedures are so broken that, State Department records show, they let in more than four times as many suspected terrorists as they keep out. The State Department admitted to Congress last week that it had revoked the visas of 9,500 individuals since 2001 who were believed to have either engaged in terrorist activities or were associated with a terrorist organization. Think about what that means: Nearly 10,000 people considered too dangerous to enter the United States because of suspected terrorist activity or association were mistakenly granted visas to lawfully enter the country. They successfully penetrated our defenses, beat our screening system and got their hands on U.S. visas.

{freebeacon.com} ~ Russia’s S-400 missile system in Syria has the range to target airbases in the region with a U.S. presence, according to a new analysis... Moscow deployed the S-400, an advanced air defense system with surface-to-air missiles, at the end of last month after Turkey shot down a Russian jet that violated the airspace of the NATO country. The system was reported to be installed in the coastal Latakia Province at Bassel al-Assad International Airport, which also serves as a base for Russian and Syrian regime forces. According to the Institute for the Study of War, Russia’s S-400 system has a range of up to 250 miles and the capability to track and target aircraft at multiple bases in the region. The think tank noted on Monday that two of those bases have a U.S. presence: Incirlik Airbase in Turkey, and the Al-Shaheed Muwaff­aq Salti Airbase in Jordan.

But like a battered wife, we keep going back because every four years they bring us flowers, beg our forgiveness, and swear they’ll never hit us again.

{wnd.com} ~ Ibrahim Parlak is a 53-year-old Kurd who was born in Turkey. In 1991, he came to the U.S. as a refugee and was granted political asylum. He spoke no English... Parlak started working as a busboy at the Ritz Carlton in Chicago, then as a restaurant line cook. A few years later, he moved to Michigan, where his American girlfriend had roots. Ibrahim got a job in a local restaurant as a cook, took some cooking classes, became a line chef, then became manager of a restaurant. In 1994, he leased a restaurant and renovated it. His rebranded restaurant opened in 1995, and, though he didn’t have adequate funding to purchase it outright, three local business people were so impressed with Ibrahim’s dedication that they conspired to craft a deal that allowed the once penniless, language-challenged refugee to join the ranks of business owners. Still, things were so tight that Ibrahim had to live in the back office of the small restaurant for many months. Thus, Ibrahim Parlak became an above-average taxpayer and an employer of American taxpayers. Yet, after 24 years here, U.S. authorities are poised to deport Ibrahim Parlak back to Turkey with all due speed – where he will almost certainly be killed. Why?        http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/feds-set-to-deport-model-non-muslim-immigrant/

{algemeiner.com} ~ It’s been nearly two months since the so-called “adoption day” when Iran officially began the process of scaling back its centrifuges and retrofitting some its nuclear infrastructure as part of the agreement with world powers to restrict its nuclear weapons program... Some have touted the agreement as a sign of Iran seeking to soften its policies and join the world community. Yet, for all of the fanfare over the summer about the consequences of the Iran deal, it seems like little attention has been paid to other Iranian policies. Alas, with the world’s focus on the immediate danger of the radical extremism emanating from the Islamic State, Iranian actions in recent months have affirmed the regime’s unchanged agenda  —  promoting illiberal policies that profoundly conflict with our core values and those of nearly every other member of the family of nations. In recent weeks, some actually have suggested that Washington “separate its Iran policy from Israel.” This is little more than a smokescreen to divert attention. Despite the impassioned rhetoric of some regime supporters, it’s not about Israel. It’s about the Islamic Republic of Iran, a regime that continues its authoritarian rule at home and one that enforces policies overseas that challenge the core principles that center our country:

{aim.org} ~ The mainstream media blindly championed the Iranian deal at the expense of reason, celebrating its “signing” and every prospective step for implementation. But the not-so-surprising revelation is that there is, in fact, no Iran deal. There are just a number of political commitments made by each of the so-called P5+1 countries, in the hope that Iran will somehow reform itself.
.
Iran, on the other hand, seems barely, if at all, committed to the non-agreement. Rather, it is poised to receive international sanctions relief while continuing on its belligerent course.
.
The nObama administration acknowledged in November that neither America, nor the Iranians, nor the other P5+1 members have actually signed the accord ostensibly designed to stall Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons. Yet a review of Fox News, The New York Times, and other media organizations shows that the mainstream media remain uniformly committed to misleading the public. These reporters must know by now that the deal has not been signed—meaning that there is no deal—yet they continue to pretend that it is.
.
“The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is not a signed document,” Julia Frifield, the State Department Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, wrote in a November 19 letter to Republican Representative Mike Pompeo (R-KS).
.
Frifield added that the success of the accord “will depend not on whether it is legally binding or signed, but rather on the extensive verification measures we have put in place, as well as Iran’s understanding that we have the capacity to re-impose—and ramp up—our sanctions if Iran does not meet its commitments.”
.
The verification measures that the P5+1 agreed to are a total sham. The administration made concession after concession in pursuit of a deal designed to further President nObama’s legacy—at the expense of the world’s safety. “President Obama is not only using his executive power to engage a hostile, theocratic Iranian regime, he is also trying to pressure future presidents and Congress into perpetuating his damaging policies,” we wrote back in July. “His administration is also bending over backwards not to offend the Iranian regime, while this totalitarian government does everything possible to humiliate the United States.”
.
The reality is that the international community is now poised to grant Iran a sweetheart sanctions deal while the regime continues to flout both the spirit and the letter of that meaningless accord.
.
Iran has consistently acted in bad faith. “In addition to carrying out ballistic missile tests in October and November, Mr. [Bob] Corker [R-TN] said, Tehran has defied a U.N. travel ban by dispatching Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Force—a military division responsible for clandestine international operations—to meet with Russian officials in Moscow,” reports The Washington Times. “He also pointed to Iran’s recent conviction of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, a spate of Iranian cyber attacks believed to have been carried out by Iranian operatives against the State Department, and Tehran’s export of weapons to Syria and Yemen.”
.
Hopefully the conviction of Rezaian isn’t the only reason the Post attacked the “agreement” this week, as well as President nObama’s deception about it: “Iran is following through on the nuclear deal it struck with a U.S.-led coalition in an utterly predictable way,” stated a December 20th Washington Post editorial. “It is racing to fulfill those parts of the accord that will allow it to collect $100 billion in frozen funds and end sanctions on its oil exports and banking system, while expanding its belligerent and illegal activities in other areas—and daring the West to respond.”
.
“Unfortunately,” they added, “the nObama administration’s response to these provocations has also been familiar. It is doing its best to downplay them—and thereby encouraging Tehran to press for still-greater advantage.” The usually nObama-friendly Post editorial board gets even stronger from there:
.
“It’s not hard to guess the reasons for this fecklessness. President nObama is reluctant to do anything that might derail the nuclear deal before Iran carries out its commitments, including uninstalling thousands of centrifuges and diluting or removing tons of enriched uranium. The same logic prompted him to tolerate Iran’s malign interventions in Syria, Yemen and elsewhere, along with the arrest of Mr. Rezaian, while the pact was under negotiation.”
.
According to the BBC, “Under the July nuclear deal, Iran was ‘called upon’ to refrain from developing ballistic missiles for up to eight years” and “the UN Security Council’s Panel of Experts on Iran said that the Emad rocket was a ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.”
.
However, the BBC reports, “Iran said the test did not violate the agreement.”
.
“Iranian President Hassan Rouhani discouraged his nation’s parliament from voting on the nuclear deal in order to avoid placing legal burdens on the regime,”writes Joel Gehrke for National Review. He quotes Rouhani as asking, “Why should we place an unnecessary legal restriction on the Iranian people?”
.
While The New York Times continues to peddle the falsehood that the deal has been “signed,” it also reports that “Some officials feared that if Iran was given a pass on IAEA inspections, it would send a signal to other nations—including North Korea—that their obligations to respond to international investigators could be negotiated away in a political deal.”
.
“President nObama eventually concluded that the larger goal of halting Iran’s ability to produce a nuclear weapon for the next decade-and-a-half was more valuable than setting a precedent about the integrity of inspections,” wrote David Sanger for the Times on December 15. He reported that the IAEA concluded its “long-running, and largely unsuccessful, effort to get Iran to fully answer a series of questions about suspected activities.”
.
This is the IAEA investigation that required Iran to provide the IAEA with samples from the Parchin nuclear site. It had also previously threatened to harm the IAEA’s head, Yukiya Amano.
.
When Amano did visit Parchin in September, CNN reported, the facility showed signs of recent renovation—but there was no equipment there. CNN celebrated this victory under the headline “IAEA inspects Iran’s Parchin military site for first time.”
.
The IAEA has failed in its duties. “The additional protocol grants the IAEA expanded access to materials and sites beyond declared nuclear facilities and materials, allowing the IAEA to eventually conclude that it has found no indication of the diversion of declared nuclear material from peaceful nuclear activities and no indication of undeclared nuclear material or activities,” states the IAEA December 15 press release. That’s right: “eventually conclude.”
.
The latest humiliating concession made by the nObama administration to Iran was spelled out in a letter from Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry to his Iranian counterpart, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, waiving a visa requirement that targeted Iran and was just passed into law as part of the omnibus spending bill, and signed by President nObama. The letter was delivered one day after Zarif complained about the visa requirement in an interview he gave to the New Yorker magazine. In that same interview, as pointed out by MEMRI (the highly regarded Middle East Media Research Institute), Zarif made it clear that “Iran is now demanding to make an essential change to the agreement so that the U.S. first acts to lift the sanctions and only then will Iran meet its obligations.”
.
Despite recent letters sent respectively by 35 Republican senators and 21 Democratic senators expressing concern about Iran’s ballistic missile activity, the nObama administration and its allies are still lining up to provide Iran with rapid sanctions relief, perhaps in January. Secretary of State hanoi-Kerry recently sent a letter to Congress saying that “Iran had not engaged in any covert or other activities that could significantly advance its nuclear weapons program,” according to The Washington Times.
.
Iran’s parliament, such that it is, approved a deal, but it was not even the same deal that the P5+1 holds out as the agreed upon deal.
.
As Iran gets close to receiving a huge cash reward for its lack of cooperation, deceit, and continued belligerence, the mainstream media still refuse to call this deal what it is: a sham agreement founded on nothing but what Iran says it will be. If Iran finds this farcical political agreement’s terms nonbinding, why shouldn’t America do likewise? President nObama is perpetrating a dangerous hoax through his triumphal advocacy for this so-called deal, and the media, for the most part, are participating.

 HILLY’S HOLE CARD 
For Hilly Clinton, her current general-election strategy is so simple it can be summed up in just two words: Donald Trump. Even if she’s not lucky enough to draw him in a head-to-head matchup, Clinton will work to make her opponent little more than Trump-lite. That’s what Justin Barasky of the Clinton-backing powerhouse super PAC Priorities USA sees ahead once she’s head to head with the Republican nominee, whoever it may be. In the latest edition of Power Play, Barasky tells Chris Stirewalt that Republicans are “painting themselves” as Trump-like and the result will be terrifying to key groups of the Obama coalition that Clinton is looking to reconstitute and ride to the White House. WATCH HERE.  -Fox News

Debate not all roses for Hilly -  Fox New contributor Doug Schoen called Saturday’s Democratic debate “Hilly’s night” but also pointed to Clinton’s vulnerability on foreign policy: “Martin O’Malley] noted how Ambassador Chris Stevens was not provided the proper support and tools to help Libya transition into a thriving democracy – a clear reminder of his untimely death. No doubt this foreshadows what will be in all likelihood a major line of attack from the Republicans and stands to really hurt her going forward.”   -Fox News

 nObama blames media for stoking ISIS fears -  The Hill: “President nObama said in an [NPR] interview broadcast early Monday that he understands why Americans are worried about the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), adding that it is important ‘to keep things in perspective.’ nObama blamed the media in part, for fears, saying that in the past month, ‘all you have been seeing, all you have been hearing about is these guys with masks or black flags who are potentially coming to get you.’” Thats it, no mention of what ISIS whats to do to America, kill us.  -Fox News

 ISIS Justifies Rape, Slavery of Yazidi Girls  

{Natalie Myers} ~ Recently, a video showing ISIS fighters violently taking young girls and women away from their families to be the fighters’ sex slaves was released by Yazidi activists... The video shows what appears to be women and young girls screaming in terror as the fighters aggressively pull them away from their loved ones, as the men try to hold onto their wives and daughters to protect them. This heartbreaking video comes after Sky News recently revealed the underground captivity areas where Yazidi sex slaves are kept. Based on this video, it appears that many sex slaves are kept in filthy underground bunkers surrounded by rubble. Yazidi sex slaves who have managed to escape from ISIS have told of the horrors that occur when captured.        http://punchingbagpost.com/isis-justifies-rape-slavery-of-yazidi-girls

 Syrian – Radical, Potential Terrorist Entitlement And Open N. of US 
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Video of what is described as “The first group of Syrian refugees to head out for a new life in Canada” shows family units from Jordan who were being given the VIP photo-op prop treatment by the libtard Canadian government... Canada’s Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, John McCallum was on hand for theoccasion, promising that this was just the beginning, with a goal of importing 50,000 of the unvetted foreign terrorist candidates into Canada by the end of 2016. What a great opportunity for spreading jihad to the infidels of North America the ignorant Canadians are offering. Not only are they endangering their own lives but our border is largely open between Canada and the United States. We’ll certainly be visited by the consequences of their recklessness as well. One of the “refugees” was interviewed, with the entitlement chip on his shoulder clearly exposed and a question as to how anyone who had any discretion could have allowed this new perpetual problem in the making to immigrate.

 nObama Admin: Crackdown on Terror Will Violate Iran Deal  
‘Iran Czar’ tells Congress nuke deal prohibits congress from restricting terrorist visas
{Adam Kredo} ~ Senior nObama administration officials are expressing concern that congressional attempts to tighten laws preventing terrorists from entering the United States could violate the Iran nuclear agreement and prompt Tehran to walk away from the agreement... Congress is considering measures that would tighten the Visa Waiver Program to make it harder for potential terrorists to legally enter the United States by increasing restrictions on individuals who have travelled to countries with prominent terrorist organizations from bypassing security checks upon entering the United States. Iranian officials have in recent days repeatedly issued threatening statements to the nObama administration, saying that such moves would violate the nuclear agreement, and the nObama administration last week conveyed the Iranian anger to American lawmakers. This is no deal, it's twisting of arms.

 McCon-nell turncoat-Ryan Sellout To nObama... 
{Mitch McCon-nell is just now emerging from his latest duck and cover inside his shell, with his diminutive turtle tail tucked into its customary surrender position between his legs... It’s natural for him; turtles are noted for the shells, not their spines. He and his comrade Paul turncoat-Ryan gave Hussein nObama every cent he demanded and then some for his Marxist, anti-American programs. Every issue that Republicans appeared to have taken a stand on during the year was sacrificed in the interest of keeping our dictator and their common financial interests and puppeteers happy and satisfied. The false nonexistent threat of being accused of shutting down the government was once again played to perfection. Shut it down, McCon-nell. We’d be much better off and could possibly get a handle on the mess you’re making in the meantime. He and turncoat-Ryan financed the wide range of reckless spending detailed here, in a total sellout of the American people. McCon-nell and turncoat-Ryan are playing politics, passing bills that nObama will never sign as a cover and throwing away the only power they had to force compliance by the rogue executive branch, the power of the purse. Now nObama has every cent he needs to complete his anti-American agenda and we, the people, aside from impeachment or arresting him for treason have little we can do to stop him. I wonder how these elected officials sleep at night...

 Closing Guantanamo Bay Will Only Empower Our Enemies  
{Andrew McCarthy} ~ There are 107 jihadists remaining at Guantanamo Bay. President nObama sees that as a huge problem and, for once, I agree with him. But there the agreement ends... The president is hell bent on shuttering the detention camp. I think the problem is that there are only 107 detainees. Heading into his eighth year as commander-in-chief, nObama seems increasingly detached – inevitably so, as reality relentlessly distances itself from the president’s fantasies about Islam and terrorism. Impervious to the bitter irony, the president waxed idiotic at his final White House press conference of 2015 about the need to close Gitmo – and about his imminent release of 17 jihadists to speed that process along – while the engines revved up to jet him to San Bernardino, Calif. There, he’ll find time for a quickie meeting with family members in mourning after the jihadist mass-murder of their loved ones two weeks ago.

 hanoi-Kerry tells Iran congress visa requirements will be waived  
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ The Ayatollah and his terrorists needn't worry, John Forbes hanoi-Kerry and Barack Hussein nObama have their back... The nObama administration, pushing to support international trade with Iran, has advised the country’s rulers not to worry about new U.S. legislation that clamps visa restrictions on people who have traveled to Iran. Iranian officials have publicly complained the new U.S. rules will unfairly target travelers who visit Iran and could dampen investment interest in their country. Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry wrote his Iranian counterpart on Saturday to assure him the visa changes approved by Congress last week won’t undermine business opportunities in Iran or violate the terms of the nuclear agreement between global powers and Tehran in July. Mr. hanoi-Kerry said the administration was exploring ways to ensure visitors to Iran aren’t unfairly blocked from entering the U.S. ISIS is welcome now, thanks in-part to this administration.     http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/261196/kerry-tells-iran-congress-visa-requirements-will-daniel-greenfield

 Muslim Migrants Live in 'Parallel Societies' Where Rules Don't Apply 
{Tiffany Gabbay} ~ Germany's obsession with multiculturalism and ultra-liberal immigration policy has landed the country in hot water on more than one occasion... Even Chancellor Angela Merkel has publicly declared that multiculturalism is a "lie" and that the country's best efforts to integrate its Muslim immigrants has utterly "failed." Echoing this long overdue epiphany, Germany's high profile police commissioner has spoken out harshly over the her country's migrant population, which she asserts harasses her officers and proudly announce it will "sh*t on Germany." What's more, the commissioner explains that anyone who speaks out against the migrants are labeled a "Nazi." Despite being of a migrant background herself, commissioner Tania Kambouri has not been shy in her criticism of the failures of the integration process in Germany which is making life difficult for police, as they are harassed and even ganged up on by migrant men. Thats how its going to be right here in America. It has already stated.      http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/german-police-commissioner-speaks-out-muslim-migrants-live-parallel-societies-where-rules-dont

 Cheer up, nObama’s legacy can be erased  
{Phil Gramm, Mike Solon} ~ President nObama seems to aspire to join Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan as one of the three most transformative presidents of the past hundred years, and by all outward signs he has achieved that goal... But while Roosevelt and Reagan sold their programs to the American people and enacted them with bipartisan support, Mr. nObama jammed his partisan agenda down the public’s throat. The nObama legacy is built on executive orders, regulations and agency actions that can be overturned using the same authority Mr. nObama employed to put them in place. An array of President nObama’s policies—changing immigration law, blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, the Iranian nuclear agreement and the normalization of relations with Cuba, among others—were implemented exclusively through executive action. Because any president is free “to revoke, modify or supersede his own orders or those issued by a predecessor,” as the Congressional Research Service puts it, a Republican president could overturn every nObama executive action the moment after taking the oath of office. At the beginning of the inaugural address, the new president could sign an executive order rescinding all of Mr. nObama’s executive orders deemed harmful to economic growth or constitutionally suspect. The new president could then establish a blue-ribbon commission to review all other nObama executive orders. Any order not reissued or amended in 60 days could be automatically rescinded.

 New evidence reinforces CAIR's Islamist history 
{Steve Emerson and Pete Hoekstra} ~ Since its founding in 1994, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been nothing more than a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood...  Recently, CAIR once again tried to hide this truth by casting a new lie about its radical Islamist history, saying that its relationship with the Hamas terror network was “put to rest by the Department of Justice in 2011 and now exists as an Internet story.” Not true. The FBI policy of dissociation with CAIR over open questions related to its terrorist connections remains in effect, and it publicly reaffirmed so in 2013. No possibility exists to “put to rest” records admitted into evidence. The episode is only the latest reinforcement of what the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) and law enforcement have known for 20 years. CAIR and its ilk are nothing more than front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/new-evidence-reinforces-cairs-islamist-history/

 The Muslim Prospective on Radical Islam - the Real Story  
{Joe A. Gilbertson} ~ The nObama Administration has consistently defended Muslims by saying most of them strongly oppose radical Islam... “An overwhelming majority of Muslims reject that interpretation of Islam. It’s very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9% of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we are looking for,” said Barack nObama, President of the United States. However, Mr. nObama has not done his research. Instead, he, along with thousands of others, has been more concerned with political correctness and religious liberty. Pew Research recently released chilling data that proves that that 99.9% is not even close to accurate. Today, there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and this number climbs daily. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and as reported by Pew Research, it will surpass Christianity during this century.       http://punchingbagpost.com/the-muslim-prospective-on-radical-islam---the-real-story

Vetting nObama’s Witless Vetters at DHS

{freedomsback.com} ~ Gaping holes in the K1 fiance visa interview process. Reckless bans on scrutinizing visa applicants’ social media posts. Ignored alarms over marriage fraud. New details keep seeping out about all the “red flags” nObama’s immigration officials missed in the case of the San Bernardino jihadists.
.
Color me unshocked.
.
The American public and Capitol Hill politicians should have been more vigilant about vetting nObama’s vetters in the first place. What do you expect when you put crony know-nothings, political hacks and identity politics zealots in charge of our safety?
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), nObama campaign finance bundler Jeh Johnson snagged the top DHS post two years ago thanks to Harry dinky-Reid’s rigging of Senate filibuster rules. Johnson’s a “diversity” relic from the Clinton era with zero experience in border security, port security, airport security or immigration enforcement. So what is main qualification for overseeing the $40 billion, 240,000-employee homeland security bureaucracy? Besides dumping gobs of money into nObama’s coffers, he’s the “first African-American” to hold the job, as the White House trumpeted.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), DHS undersecretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the No. 2 in charge of the department, was also a beneficiary of dinky-Reid’s lowered nomination standards. Like Johnson, Mayorkas was an nObama bundler early and often. He slithered into the job in 2013 while still under investigation by the DHS inspector general for his role in facilitating EB-5 foreign investor visa scams over the vehement objections of homeland security staff.
.
As my co-author John Miano and I point out in our new book, “Sold Out,” on systemic visa corruption, federal investigators interviewed more than 15 whistleblowers ranging from rank-and-file employees to several senior managers in California and at the D.C. headquarters who accused Mayorkas of bestowing both preferential access and preferential treatment to politically connected EB-5 applicants and stakeholders. They detailed how Mayorkas “created special processes and revised existing policies in the EB-5 program to accommodate specific parties” while serving as director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
.
“Their allegations were unequivocal,” the inspector general concluded, and the corruption under Mayorkas was systemic.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), DHS Assistant Secretary, Office for State and Local Law Enforcement Heather Fong abandoned her post as San Francisco police chief amid widespread disgust with her weak leadership and obstinate refusal to cooperate with the feds on enforcing immigration laws.
.
That’s right. A zealous advocate of sanctuary city policies, Fong now oversees outreach to nearly 18,000 state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement agencies nationwide. This enforcement obstructionist is in charge of terrorism prevention policies and coordination and distribution of intelligence between DHS and localities. Her main qualifications? Being the first woman and Asian-American to lead the SFPD, whose rank-and-file despised her.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Assistant Secretary for International Affairs and Chief Diplomatic Office Alan Bersin was implicated in a scheme to manipulate the DHS hiring process to try and secure jobs for at least three political cronies who worked with Bersin on the nObama 2008 campaign, according to the Office of Special Counsel. Two of those pals did not even meet “the minimum qualification requirements for their respective career positions,” OSC’s complaint noted, because they lacked at least one year of relevant experience.
.
Bersin moved up the DHS ladder; a lower-level scapegoat was exonerated in court; and a key figure in the patronage plot was allowed to retire.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Secretary Johnson hired his DHS chief of staff Christian Marrone without bothering to read the longtime Pennsylvania Democratic operative’s background security check. Marrone was a top aide to slimeball Philadelphia power broker Vincent Fumo, who was convicted of 137 federal corruption charges in 2009.
.
As the Washington Times reported, Marrone “admitted in court to collecting a taxpayer salary while supervising the senator’s private home renovations, hiring a private eye to dig up dirt on a political rival and serving as president of a company that used nonprofit urban revitalization money for a for-profit venture.” At trial, Marrone acknowledged doing Fumo’s rotten bidding because “that was the culture at the office … there were no boundaries.”
.
Marrone walked away after claiming he was a victim. And now, this go-along, get-along toady willing to violate the law to please a boss serves as Johnson’s right-hand man and the No. 3 official at DHS.

These hacks won’t even vet each other. They place “optics,” “diversity” and political protectionism above national security. Forget the red flags over San Bernardino. It’s the giant white flag of surrender waving over DHS that’s the real threat to our well-being.

Clinton's Potty Break Interrupted by Demo 'Debate'  
Roughly 99.99% of Americans missed the fact that there was a Democrat presidential debate Saturday night. It's painfully obvious that the Democratic National Committee is protecting Hilly Clinton by scheduling debates when no one will be watching because they're out last-chance Christmas shopping and at the movies for opening weekend of Star Wars. So Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley can be forgiven for complaining. The party, which was once a raucous bunch that reveled in the old Will Rogers line — "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." — is now bending over backwards to make sure Hilly's path to coronation is not blocked again. Even if she's late back to the stage after a bathroom break.
          Naturally, there weren't many highlights. Whereas Republicans are engaged in a spirited debate about immigration, foreign policy and NSA surveillance, the three Democrats on stage Saturday offered nothing but leftist platitudes primarily on national security. They seek to gently criticize the atrocious state of affairs (under Barack nObama's leadership, they'd rather you didn't notice) while reminding viewers that Republicans are just plain terrible people. 
          Since Clinton will be the nominee, we'll focus on her with three low lights. An example of the lightly treading around nObama's failures was Clinton's reference to "glitches" in nObamaCare — like skyrocketing premiums and deductibles. She's fix that, though, she promises. On Syria and the Islamic State, she said, "We now finally are where we need to be." Famous last words that will show up in many a Republican campaign ad. And on Republicans and the Islamic State, she insisted that the GOP frontrunner "is becoming ISIS's best recruiter." She explained, "They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists." Then again, Clinton doesn't have a great track record blaming videos for trouble in the Middle East.
          All in all, you were better to finish that Christmas shopping than to sit through the Democrat drivel.

 nObama Blames Cable News For Terrorism Concern  
It was a vignette that the nObama administration didn't want The New York Times to publish. Barack nObama held an off-the-record meeting with journalists last week to explain his antiterrorism strategy and the ground rule was that anything nObama said could not be attributed to him. It was a way for nObama to mold the media into a more forceful propaganda arm for his agenda. Initially, the Times wasn't going to play the commander in chief's political game. In an article originally published Thursday evening, the Times wrote, "In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. nObama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a lot, he said." You don't hear nObama complaining how the media has distorted gun culture in this nation, but he defended his antiterrorism policies by blaming criticism of his strategies on the media and stupid Americans.
          Later that night, as The Federalist reported, the editors did not stand up to the executive branch like the time it published the Pentagon Papers. Instead, it deleted the telling paragraph and inserted a paragraph of administration catch phrases. Commentator Charles Krauthammer said of nObama's statement, "This is his usual professorial condescension." Over the weekend, nObama doubled down on his assertion, telling NPR the media has been hyping the Islamic State: "All you have been hearing about is these guys with masks or black flags who are potentially coming to get you." As for the citizens of this nation worried about security, let them eat cake.  -The Patriot Post

 Court Rules Against School That Didn't Hire Homosexual  
A judge in Massachusetts severely restricted the ability of religious organizations to fulfill their missions when he ruled that a Catholic school was guilty of discrimination for rescinding its job offer to a man later discovered to be homosexual. Matthew Barrett interviewed for the position of director of food services at Fontbonne Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, in 2013 and he was offered the job. But when he listed his husband as his emergency contact, the school rescinded his offer.
          Judge Douglas H. Wilkins ruled the academy was guilty of discrimination, despite the school arguing that Barrett's lifestyle was inconsistent with its teachings. As the school's lawyer told Boston's ABC affiliate WCVB, teaching doesn't occur just outside the classroom, and Barrett's employment would conflict with what is taught in the theology classroom. "As an educational institution, Fontbonne retains control over its mission and message," Wilkins wrote. "It is not forced to allow Barrett to dilute that message, where he will not be a teacher, minister or spokesperson for Fontbonne and has not engaged in public advocacy of same-sex marriage."
          Furthermore, the judge ruled that the school could have ​been exempt from the state’s discrimination laws​ if ​the school only ​taught ​girls who believed the same things as the school. In making this ruling, the judge from the first state to legalize same-sex marriage is standing directly against Christian institutions charged with going into all the world to heal the sick, visit those in prison and feed the hungry. Using this same thinking, it's not much of a stretch for the state to force Christian hospitals to perform gender-reassignment surgery, or perform abortions.   -The Patriot Post

 Nonjudgmental Absurdity  
It's been a slow year for the Christmas bashing that's become rather routine at the Capitol rotunda in Tallahassee, Florida. Pam Olsen, president of the Florida Prayer Network, the group that has provided a Nativity scene there for the last two years, is taking a pass. "After much prayer, I truly want the message of Christ, The Son of God, born in a manger so long ago in Bethlehem, to be heard very clearly at this difficult time, instead of the dissension in the Capitol rotunda — this is not the year for that kind of debate in our rotunda," Olsen said in an open letter.
          The "debate" to which Olsen refers has been the recent effort to turn the rotunda into a citadel of competing displays, that mostly illuminate the determination of those who can't stand to see Christians enjoying themselves during the holidays. It is coupled with the timidity of public officials cowed by political correctness. Political correctness that demands equal respect for the sacred and the profane.
          Thus in 2014, for the sake of "balance," the rotunda sported a protest display from the Satanic Temple. It featured an angel falling into a pit of fire. "There's no significance to it; it's just a display that we put up to counteract the Nativity scene," explained Satanic Temple member John Porgal at the time. "It's all or none, and this represents the other side of the manger scene."
          All or none also included a six-foot pole comprised of beer cans celebrating "Festivus," a fictitious holiday spawned by the sitcom "Seinfeld." Other atheist banners, including a display from the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" whose followers are known as "Pastafarians," were also part of the mix.    -The Patriot Post

 Tea Party Declares WAR on Speaker Paul turncoat-Ryan  
{teaparty.org} ~ Last October, America’s Tea Party and Conservative movement made a decision to trust Congressman Paul turncoat-Ryan with the most powerful position in the House of Representative’s, that being the coveted position of Speaker of the House... turncoat-Ryan promised to adhere to conservative values and govern from a perspective of smaller government, less spending, lower taxes and American security would be paramount for his agenda’s. As all of you have heard, Speaker turncoat-Ryan did not just break his pledge to conservatism, he Baptized his role as Speaker with nothing short of liberal holy water. I won’t rehash what all is in this behemoth $1.2 Trillion dollar spending monstrosity, but for conversation purposes, just know that it funds everything that slaps conservatism in the face and spit’s on Tea Party values. If nObama’s spending wasn’t bad enough, this Omnibus spending bill also funds those cities which harbor illegal aliens and much, much more that is surely to hack off those of us that love our nation. If this Omnibus bill is any sort of indication of the way Speaker turncoat-Ryan is going to govern, it is time to do what “Barney Fife” told us to do so many years ago, “NIP-IT, NIP-IT” in the bud now!        http://www.teaparty.org/tea-party-declares-war-speaker-paul-ryan-135422/

 Hilly LIES about how much support she gets from Wall Street  
{soopermexican} ~ So there were a whole lot of lies being told at the Democrat Debate tonight, but one of the bigger ones was when Hilly deflected Bernie Sanders’ attack on her support from Wall Street... Her response was very Clintonian – in that it was a lie: Trying to downplay her Wall Street ties, Clinton said about 3 percent of her donations come from “people in the finance and investment world,” and invited viewers to check opensecrets.org, the Center for Responsive Politics’ website. We did, and it shows that her campaign and the super PAC supporting her received $5.7 million from the securities and investments industry, out of $97.8 million total. That’s almost 6 percent. It’s closer to 3 percent if you only count fundraising by her official campaign. But in the context of a clash with Sanders, who pointed out he doesn’t have an allied super PAC, it’s misleading to overlook hers.

 Supreme Court Ignores Gun Rights…Again  
{Robert Chambers} ~ The Second Amendment is on trial every moment of every day in this country and the obstacles to keeping it in place are getting worse... The Supreme Court rejected an appeal earlier this month that came from gun owners trying to challenge the ban of assault weapons in a the Chicago suburb, Highland Park. The appeal, filed by the Illinois State Rifle Association, argues against the ban by citing a violation of constitutional rights. The Supreme Court is claiming that it is in response to the San Bernardino shooting. Two conservative justices said that they would have both heard the case and struck down the suburb’s ban. The federal appeals court in Chicago upheld the ban on semi-automatic weapons and large capacity magazines.

 It's time for the Democrats to speak up on national security  
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Democrats hold their third presidential debate Saturday evening in Manchester, New Hampshire...  Until now, the Democratic candidates have spent far less time than their Republican counterparts discussing foreign policy and national security issues, both in the debates and on the campaign trail. The last Democratic debate took place just one day after Islamic terrorists gunned down 129 people in Paris. This prompted moderators to ask the candidates more questions than originally planned about foreign policy and terrorism. But as the Washington Examiner's Byron York pointed out, the candidates mostly just touched on security matters before pivoting to issues related to the economy and other domestic matters. It's easy to see why. Democratic voters are less concerned than Republicans about national security. York cites a New Hampshire town hall meeting at which Democratic primary voters seemed more interested in domestic issues such as genetically-modified food and student loans than where the candidates stand on foreign affairs and terrorism.        http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/its-time-for-the-democrats-to-speak-up-on-national-security/article/2578764?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI%20-%2012/19/15&utm_medium=email

 nObama’s Syrian Secret Weapon – Eating Zombie Disease 
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Scabies and hepatitis weren’t enough to stop the illegal alien hordes crossing our southern border. The Customs and Border Patrol agents were told by DHS to just “deal with it,” and take it home to their families if that is how things worked out... The Ebola threat from African foreigners to American citizens and anyone else in the country was also not enough of a concern to restrict travel. We Americans are just supposed to accept whatever threat is out there as well as the refusal of our hijacked, non-representative government to act in the interests of our security.  We’re on our own. Now another threat is emerging, a perfect complement to the nObama regime’s terrorist import program. Those posing a danger to us now do not even need to harbor bad intentions. They simply need to have been bitten by the wrong sand fly and be approved to move to America and we’re at risk. The infection is particularly dangerous and ominous in nature, a potentially fatal flesh-eating disease that manifests itself in three different forms. The hot spot of the infection is nObama’s breeding and recruiting ground for future Islamic “Americans,” Syria.

 Omnibus Passing Opens Door for Paul turncoat-Ryan Criticism  
{Natalie Myers} ~ It is not often that the Democratic party praises someone from its opposition, but this week, nObama openly praised Republican Speaker, Paul turncoat-Ryan for doing his part to avoid a government shutdown... nObama praised former Speaker John backstabber-Boehner for raising spending levels before leaving office and making way for turncoat-Ryan, whom according to nObama, did his part to negotiate with the Democrats to pass the Omnibus bill. nObama called the passing of Omnibus as a win for his administration, predicting the last year of his presidency will also see more success for items on his agenda, although he admits he will still have some unfinished business when he leaves office.

 The segregation we don’t talk about enough

A recent report from Pew Research Center suggests that there has been an increase in residential segregation by income over the past three decades in the United States... The data show that between 1980 and 2010, there has been an increase in the share of lower-income households located in a majority lower-income census tract, and an increase in the share of upper-income households located in a majority upper-income census tract. This finding is corroborated by another study for the period 1970 to 2000 which uses a new measure of income sorting.

The trends of segregation by race are less clear. A recent National Bureau of Economic Research paper using a new methodology to capture racial segregation, finds that, across almost every region of the country, the likelihood of a black family having an opposite-race neighbor declined by more than 15 percentage points between 1880 and 1940. Other studies using traditional segregation measures and more recent data, typically suggest that racial segregation may have declined marginally in recent times, but still remains relatively stark in many metropolitan areas in the South, Northeast and Midwest, where a vast majority of blacks reside. Blacks more likely to live in concentrated poverty.

 An Israeli Gas Pipeline to Turkey? Bad Idea  
{Daniel Pipes} ~ The two states enjoyed close relations in the 1990s, when a common world outlook led to a strong military bond, growing trade, and exchanges of people and culture...  Writing in 1997, I characterized this bilateral as having "the potential to alter the strategic map of the Middle East, to reshape American alliances there, and to reduce Israel's regional isolation." It flourished for another five years, until the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, or AKP) won the Turkish elections of 2002 and proceeded to move Turkey in an Islamist direction. Among many implications, this meant distancing Ankara from Jerusalem and, instead, warming relations with Hamas in Gaza. Under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Turkish government took one step after another to degrade Israelis and diminish relations between the two states, peaking with its indirect sponsorship of the Mavi Marmara ship to Gaza in 2010. In response, the Israelis did all they could to make things work again, even apologizing and offering to pay compensation for the Turkish casualties aboard the Mavi Marmara. Until now, they were rebuffed.

 Germans Stock Up on Weapons for Self-Defense 
{Soeren Kern} ~ Germans, facing an influx of more than one million asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, are rushing to arm themselves... All across Germany, a country with some of the most stringent gun-control laws in Europe, demand is skyrocketing for non-lethal self-defense weapons, including pepper sprays, gas pistols, flare guns, electroshock weapons and animal repellants. Germans are also applying for weapons permits in record numbers. The scramble to acquire weapons comes amid a migrant-driven surge in violent crimes — including rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults — in cities and towns throughout the country. German authorities, however, are going to great lengths to argue that the German citizenry's sudden interest in self-defense has nothing whatsoever to do with mass migration into the country, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

 HealthSpan announces it's dropping nObamacare health plans  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ nObamacare received a major blow last week when Cleveland-based insurance company HealthSpan announced it will no longer sell Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans... is disbanding its physicians’ network, and has notified its brokers it will stop paying commissions for small group and individual customers. According to HealthSpan spokesman Chuck Heald, the ACA was a big money loser for the company: HealthSpan will stop selling individual and small-group health plans on the ACA’s exchanges to focus more on Medicare and employer plans, Heald said. HealthSpan jacked up premium rates for 2016 individual and small-group plans anywhere from 9% to 32% to account for the sicker-than-expected exchange population. HealthSpan also had to pay more than $17 million into the ACA’s risk-adjustment program in 2014, which did not fit into its original forecast, and the insurer has estimated another $19 million in risk-adjustment payments to the government for 2015.

America's Refugee, Asylum, and
Visa Waiver Programs: A Broken System
Steven Emerson
.
.
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Foreigners, including refugees, have no basic or universal right to enter the United States; that entry is granted as a privilege. In today's complex and dangerous environment, and in light of the growing worldwide terror threat, entry into this country is a matter of national security.
.
In a new white paper, the Investigative Project on Terrorism examines gaps in the immigration system which could allow terrorists to enter the United States as refugees, to apply for asylum once in the U.S., or to simply enter as passport holders from the 38 countries in the Visa Waiver Program.
.
The U.S. House is expected to vote this week on legislation to tighten the Visa Waiver Program's conditions, but the white paper makes it clear that such action is one small step in a long journey toward buttressing the system against abuse by terrorists.
.
Weaknesses in the system include the general tendency to give refugees and asylum seekers the benefit of the doubt in their accounts of their plight and background; the excessive speed with which Lawful Permanent Resident status is granted to asylees and refugees; the problems that arise from the fact that many refugees cannot provide documentation of their actual birth dates; inconsistency in the vetting process; inadequacies of the various application forms; and more. Congress needs to address these problems immediately - before the system is overloaded to the breaking point.
.
Among the paper's recommendations:
.
The Department of Homeland Security should seek access to the watch list of countries in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), as well as access to their criminal records and fingerprint databases. VWP countries which do not keep electronic records of arrests of their citizens or lack electronically searchable fingerprint databases should be encouraged to develop such a program as a condition of continued enrollment..
.
The United States should increase its use of the information sharing and fingerprint exchange along with our allies in the Five Country Conference, a consortium of immigration agencies in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Similar electronic fingerprint efforts should seek access to fingerprints with EUROPOL, and used for voting in places like Yemen, and for United Nations programs in Malawi, Chad, Thailand, and all refugee camps in the future.
.
Ask the United Nations to explain its "benefit of the doubt" policy and further explore Citizenship and Immigration Services' high approval and low denial rates for immigration benefits. Congress has stated that a "rubber stamp" culture exists at CIS, which seems to be corroborated by statistics.
.
Extend the statute of limitations for lying on visa waiver, refugee, and asylum applications from five years to 10. The existing statute provides a relatively brief window in which to catch someone. Having the ability to prosecute someone within 10 years would be a valuable tool for rooting out people who may turn to terror after establishing a life in the United States. There is already a 10-year precedent for similar immigration related crimes including passport and naturalization fraud.
.
To combat the problem of stolen passports, which terrorists have used in numerous plots, VWP countries that fail to report passport thefts or other irregularities should immediately be suspended
.
President nObama has consistently downplayed the terror risks involved in the refugee crisis. Speaking shortly after the Paris terror attacks led to widespread reluctance to admit these refugees into the U.S., nObama admonished his critics: "We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic. We don't make good decisions if it's based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks."
.
It is highly doubtful, however, that critics of nObama's plan really are exaggerating the risks, since there are multiple cases of individuals coming to the U.S. as refugees only to get involved in terrorist activity later. In addition, the U.S. refugee system already is overtaxed and could be overloaded to the point of breakdown with the new refugee influx. Moreover, it is not just America's refugee program that is vulnerable: virtually every aspect of our apparatus for immigration, particularly our systems for granting asylum and refugee status, including the Visa Waiver Program, is broken and on the verge of collapse.
.
Terrorists are taking advantage of three potential points of entry into the U.S.: the Visa Waiver Program, the system for admitting refugees, and the system for granting asylum.
.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables citizens of 38 designated countries to travel visa-free to the United States for up to 90 days. More than 21 million people entered the U.S. from VWP countries in 2013.
.
The VWP gives travelers the privilege of bypassing the State Department's visa screening process and presenting themselves to U.S. border officials at any port of entry without a background check conducted overseas.
.
Terrorists have frequently exploited the VWP to gain entry into the U.S. Zacarias Moussaoui, a French citizen of Moroccan descent, entered the U.S. under the VWP on February 23, 2001. Moussaoui flew from London to Chicago and then on to Oklahoma City, where he attended flight school. Moussaoui was arrested by the INS in Minneapolis on August 16, 2001 as a visa waiver overstay. He was subsequently tried and convicted of conspiring to kill Americans as part of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Moussaoui will spend the rest of his life in jail.
.
The European Union (EU) Terrorism Situation and Trend Report of 2007 stated that several Islamic terrorist suspects were arrested in VWP countries in 2006: one was arrested in Belgium, nine in Denmark, 139 in France, eleven in Germany, 34 in Italy, 51 in Spain, three in Slovakia; and three in Sweden.
.
Meanwhile, the United States admitted 588,364 refugees between 2004-13, an average of 58,836 per year. As of August 2014, the State Department had 2,500 Syrian referrals for the refugee program and anticipated similar numbers in 2016. The administration now wants 10,000 Syrian refugees resettled in America. That is a 277-fold increase over the 2013 total (when only 36 were admitted into the country).
.
Terrorists have exploited the refugee and asylum process as well. The mastermind of the 1993 terror bombing of the World Trade Center, blind sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, and two other terrorists involved in that attack sought asylum in the U.S. Many other terrorists have also taken advantage of the weakness of the refugee and asylum system. Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev came to the United States as children and received asylum through their parents. A set of Albanian brothers of Macedonian origin involved in the foiled plot against soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey were from a refugee family who came to the U.S. illegally as minor children with their parents.
.
America's asylum and refugee system needs major repair. It needs a massive top-to-bottom overhaul, including a thoroughgoing reevaluation of the institutional culture and attitudes that prevail among officials who are charged with admitting refugees and asylees into the United States. As Barack nObama prepares to overload an already seriously dysfunctional system to the point of almost certain collapse, the reform and repair of this system is an urgent national security issue.
.
Absent that, the various agency leaders, administration officials, and politicians of both parties who failed to act should be held accountable for any terror attacks from refugees and asylees admitted into the United States under the purview of this severely damaged system.

 Why Wheaton College Is Right  
Wheaton College professor Larycia Hawkins created a stir last week by announcing she would wear a hijab, the head scarf worn by Islamic women, to "stand in religious solidarity with Muslims" during Advent. Hawkins was later suspended by the school, though not for the reasons presumed by secularists and even some Christians. To be clear: We believe there are numerous flaws in the way she spiritually rationalizes and physically chose to display solidarity. But that alone is not a sufficient reason for punishment. What got Hawkins suspended was a fundamental assertion in her statement: "I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book. And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God."
          It's not difficult to see why this might raise some critical issues for a Christian school. In a statement, Wheaton wrote, "The freedom to wear a head scarf as a gesture of care and compassion for individuals in Muslim or other religious communities that may face discrimination or persecution is afforded to Dr. Hawkins as a faculty member of Wheaton College. Yet her recently expressed views, including that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, appear to be in conflict with the College's Statement of Faith."
          As RedState's outgoing editor in chief and seminary student Erick Erickson points out, "Muslims are not 'people of the book' in common understanding among evangelicals, though they do descend from Abraham. They do not worship the same God. According to Islam, Allah neither begets nor is begotten — a line explicitly rejecting the trinity. Professor Hawkins and her supporters may wish to distract or may not even care, but Wheaton sets its hiring standards and requires fidelity to the Bible. Professor Hawkins' statement suggests a theological diversion not in keeping with Wheaton's standards." That's why the college's response isn't just justified, but warranted.  -The Patriot Post

 Water Under the Historically Revisionist Bridge?  
There's an old saying attributed to Russians who endured the travails of Soviet totalitarianism: "The future is known — it's always bright — but the past keeps changing." According to Hollywood Reporter, Apex Entertainment is  producing a feature movie entitled "Chappaquiddick," a film whose utterly twisted rationale is revealed by Producer Mark Ciardi: "I've done a lot of true life stories, many sports stories, but this one had a deep impact on this country. Everyone has an idea of what happened on Chappaquiddick, and this strings together the events in a compelling and emotional way. You'll see what [Senator Ted Kennedy] had to go through."
          What Kennedy had to go through? How about what Mary Jo Kopechne had to go through?
          Hollywood may wish to engage in another Orwellian effort stringing together events in a "compelling and emotional way," but pesky facts are indisputable: After a drunken Kennedy drove his car off Dike Bridge into Poucha Pond, the man who would become the "Lion of the Senate" extricated himself and left the 28-year-old Kopechne to drown.
          According to Edgartown search-and-rescue head John Farrar, who reached the scene the next morning, Kopechne's corpse was positioned in a way that indicated she was searching for pockets of air. Farrar believes she lived for two hours after the crash. In other words, if Kennedy had merely knocked on the door of the nearest house — only yards away — and summoned that rescue squad, Kopechne might have survived. Not that anything Farrar said became part of the public record. "I was told outright by the D.A.'s office that I would not be allowed to testify on how long Kopechne was alive in the car," he told People magazine in July 1989. "They were not interested in the least in anything that would hurt Ted Kennedy."  -The Patriot Post

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE  
Many people remember Mother Teresa as a nun who helped the poorest of poor by fully immersing herself in their lives, living as they did in the slums of Calcutta, India begging for food to get by. So news that she will be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church comes no surprise. What may be surprising, however, is that a woman of seemingly unshakable faith had doubts about her ability to fulfill what she felt was her calling. As she once described: “The change was extremely difficult. In the convent I had lived without knowing what difficulties were. I had lacked nothing. Now everything was different. I slept where I happened to be, on the ground, often in hovels infested by rats. I ate what the people I was serving ate, and only when there was a little food.” Mother Teresa contemplated leaving Calcutta and returning to a convent life, but her faith in her mission compelled her to continue on, as she describes: “Among the poorest of the poor of Calcutta, I loved Jesus. When I love like that, I don’t feel suffering or fatigue.”  -Fox News

 HILLY’S DEATH STAR FULLY OPERATIONAL, BUT  REBELS PERSIST  
As Democrats assemble to debate Saturday in New Hampshire, look no further than today’s ABC News/Washington Post national poll to prove that Hilly Clinton’s death star is fully operational and has eclipsed her rivals. Pockets of the rebellion may have given Bernie Sanders a brief boost this week, but Clinton’s 31 point lead over Sanders in the poll zaps any notion that the force has shifted.
          USA Today: “[T]here’s a growing sense of inevitability about Clinton’s candidacy. According to a recent CNN/WMUR survey of New Hampshire Democrats, about 60% said they think Clinton is most likely to win the primary there, up from 42% saying so in September….At the debate, her challenge is to maintain some distance from President nObama  amid heightened concerns over terrorism without alienating the party’s base voters, for whom the president remains popular.”   -Fox News

 Paul Ryan won't fund border fence, but does fence his mansion  
{Tim Brown} ~ I confess that there is some concern I have about whether or not an actual fence would keep out those crossing our southern border. I confess that the added expense of manning that fence at several mile increments also concerns me about costs and debt, considering we have no actual money...  We’re $19 trillion in debt for goodness sakes! However, the reality is that Republicans have been promising that if they are elected they will deal with things like a border fence and deficit spending and debt. They have been in control of the House since 2010 and the Senate since earlier this year and have failed to stop spending and failed to fund the border fence they promised in the latest sellout of the American people brought to you by House Speaker Paul Ryan, whom Breitbart is reporting has fenced in his entire estate which houses a $421,000... 5,786 six-bedroom mansion. The problem is that Ryan has been hailed as “conservative,” whatever that means nowadays, and has claimed to be brilliant with math and numbers and spoken out against deficit spending and debt. Yet, he gave everything Barack nObama wanted in the $1 trillion omnibus bill I wrote about on Thursday, except he didn’t fulfill any funding for that southern border wall he and other Republicans politicized after the invasion of Central Americans in 2014.        http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/12/paul-ryan-wont-fund-border-fence-but-does-fence-his-421000-mansion/

 Pakistani Taliban says ISIS leader Baghdadi ‘is not a Islamic Khalifa’ 
{BILL ROGGIO} ~ The Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan has yet again rejected the Islamic State and said its emir, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, is unfit to lead an Islamic caliphate... The jihadist group, which is Pakistan’s largest Taliban faction, denounced Baghdadi and his Islamic State in a statement obtained by Reuters. “Baghdadi is not Khalifa (caliph) because in Islam, Khalifa means that he has command over all the Muslim world, while Baghdadi has no such command; he has command over a specific people and territory,” the Pakistani Taliban said.  http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2015/12/pakistani-taliban-says-islamic-state-leader-baghdadi-is-not-a-islamic-khalifa.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LongWarJournalSiteWide+%28The+Long+War+Journal+%28Site-Wide%29%29

Others wonder if we will actually make it to November in one piece. The damage the Left has managed to inflict on our society, thus far, is akin to what the streets would look like after a ‘Running of the Bulls’ if Pamplona were a gigantic fine china bazaar. The economic outlook gets bleaker by the day. The Resident has doubled the national debt since taking office, with the per-citizen share approaching $60,000. Labor participation numbers are staggeringly bad – nearly 103 millionworking-age Americans currently do not have a job. And for those who are fortunate enough to be employed, less than half are netting more than $30,000 per year. Half of all Americans are on some form on government assistance, with 47 million on food stamps.

 Saudi Arabia 'Recruits' 34 Muslim Countries to Fight Terror  
{Alice Greene} ~ Saudi Arabia surprised the world on Tuesday with the unveiling of an anti-terrorism military alliance including 34 mainly Muslim countries... which, according to Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will fight the Islamic State in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and Afghanistan. Is this coalition Saudi Arabia’s response to worldwide demands that the country to do something to fight the Islamic State – or is it a farce?  Terrorism is a “disease which affected the Islamic world first before the international community as a whole,” said the Crown Prince. He vowed the new alliance will confront “the Islamic world’s problem with terrorism and will be a partner in the worldwide fight against this scourge.” On the surface, it seems like Saudi Arabia has capitulated to worldwide criticism that it become more involved in the fight against terror. Let’s remember, however, the accusations that claim Saudi Arabia to be a supporter of extremist Wahhabi mosques that promote terrorist views.

 Asks IDF Counter-Terrorism Expert What US Should Be Doing  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Judge Jeanine Pirro is joined by Aaron Cohen, a former IDF counter terrorism expert who is highly trained and skilled in meeting terrorism threats... She addresses the “see something say something” mantra of victim hood coming out of the know-nothing Jihadi Jeh Johnson at DHS. His recommendations carry little weight as the Secretary is doing everything he can to make us as vulnerable to attack as possible. He’s not only looking the other way to Islamic terrorist threats, he’s failed to follow-up on 9,500 revoked visas from suspected terrorists and deporting them. Johnson is a terrorist himself so he can be dismissed as at best irrelevant and most likely a serious threat to our nation. Cohen says we need to start getting very realistic about our defense, pointing out a variety of potential soft targets and the extreme vulnerability of Americans in everyday life. He points to Jeh Johnson’s color warning system, saying, “That’s cool, but it doesn’t really help us.” He recommends that the DOJ be able to “control the security of our security licensing process so that we can put private security at every public place.”        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23914

 Sen Jeff Sessions Exposes Blatant Lies Of Speaker Paul Ryan...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ The title and position of Speaker of the House have done nothing to improve the truth telling percentages and propensities of Paul Ryan... If anything he’s been liberated to go full nObama on us, lying with impunity about any topic at any time, defying all challenges and challengers to his claims. Ryan was completely devoid of conscience in his free-wheeling dispensation of falsehoods while promoting the TPP fast track, a secret bill that was classified, making it impossible for him to be refuted and exposed by his honest opposition. The crooked politician is telling similar untruths now about his sellout omnibus “nObama Enabling Act.” He has done so at every opportunity, but one particular  interview with Michael Medved may prove problematic for the pathological piece of legislative trash. He engaged in what were some personal assaults on Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), someone who isn’t concerned with political correctness or impressed by the Ryan persona and position.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23897

 ISIS Sets Its Sights on the East  
{Vijeta Uniyal} ~ The Islamic State (ISIS) is apparently planning to subjugate and conquer the ancient civilizations of the East as part of its worldwide jihad... The Islamic State's newly-released manifesto contains, among the ideological positions and strategic objectives of the self-proclaimed Islamic Caliphate, direct threats to Hindus and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The 130-page English-language manifesto, entitled "Black Flags from the Islamic State (2016)," was uploaded in early December on various online forums sympathetic to the Islamic State. Previously, in July 2015, ISIS had circulated another document declaring its ambitions of expanding its Jihad into India. This month's ISIS manifesto claims India as part of Islamic Caliphate and, referring to the recent resurgence of Hindus in the country, states: "a movement of Hindus is growing who kill Muslims who eat beef."       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7050/isis-india-hindus

 Samir Kuntar killed in Syria airstrike  
{Elad Benari} ~ Arab media reports on Saturday night claimed that Israeli rocket fire destroyed a building in the Jaramana district of Damascus...  According to Russia Today, Hezbollah-linked terrorist Samir Kuntar was the target of the strike and was reportedly killed. Images from the scene show a collapsed multi-story residential building, with lots of rubble on the ground. Vehicles parked nearby appear to have been completely destroyed, the Russian news agency reported. According to Reuters, a number of rockets indeed hit a building in the Damascus district of Jaramana causing several casualties, but Syria's state media blamed "terrorist groups" - the term used by Bashar Al-Assad regime to describe rebels fighting against him - for the attack. Arab media reports claim Israeli attack in Damascus killed child murderer Samir Kuntar.

 Fighting Islamic State with an eye on Iran 
{Seth-J-Frantzman} ~ The crackle of warm fire reminds one of being on a camping trip. But this fire is kindled in an oil drum that has been cut in half and welded onto four staves... A giant blackened kettle steams with Kurdish tea. All around are sand-bagged positions, bunkers dug into the muddy hillside, and Kurdish flags flapping in the wind. Overhead the faint drone of coalition aircraft, monitoring ISIS, fades into the background. For 16 months, Hussein Yazdanpana has been fighting here with his Kurdish Peshmerga unit. Peshmerga are the military forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government. Like other Kurdish volunteers who fought ISIS to a standstill last year and then pushed the extremists back, Yazdanpana’s unit is connected to a political party. The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), of which Yazdanpana is vice president, has its origins among Kurds from Iran, what they call Eastern Kurdistan.

A Rash Leader in a Grave Time
Peggy Noonan
.
{peggynoonan.com} ~ As tribune of the base Donald Trump is successful and inadequate. You see it in the Muslim question. His strength is that he responds to and appears to share the concerns of those who are legitimately worried about whom we allow into the United States—our visa protocols, our vetting, our standards. This is a national-security issue. We have entered the age of ISIS-inspired and ISIS-directed attacks on the West. The latter (Paris) have tended to be bloodier than the former (San Bernardino), because they involve more operatives, more simultaneous targets, more weapons. Whether inspired or directed, the idea of future hits in the U.S.—and everyone, from the most sophisticated desk-jockey intel analyst in Washington to the receptionist at your dentist’s office, will tell you they believe more are coming—is very much on the public mind.
.
A Paris here would change everything, transposing a detached debate about strategy into a hot and immediate political exigency. There is the real danger events will outstrip sober decision making. The smartest thing I’ve heard the past few weeks was the suggestion that America figure out the most effective and constructive things it could do after a Paris-style attack, and start doing them now. I hope everyone who runs the country is thinking about this. They’d better have a plan.
.

.
But to Mr. Trump. The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Michael McCaul, said Monday that U.S. intelligence officers believe ISIS terrorists are attempting to use the nObama administration’s Syrian refugee program to enter the country themselves: “I believe 2015 will be seen as a watershed year in this long war—the year when our enemies gained an upper hand and when the spread of terror once again awoke the West.” The director of the FBI previously told Congress the U.S. cannot adequately vet the 10,000 Syrians the administration wants to accept.
.
Under the circumstances public concern is entirely warranted. Good on Mr. Trump for addressing it—and, in addressing it, forcing other candidates to come up with their plans. Bad on Mr. Trump—very bad—for doing it in his usual way. Colorfully, yes—this is a man who knows how to break through the clutter!—but crudely, seemingly off the top of his head, and using his mouth as a blunt instrument. He doesn’t think it through, doesn’t anticipate legitimate pushback, doesn’t try to persuade, only declares. And of course he was confusing and contradictory. We’ll ban all Muslims! Including U.S. citizens returning from an overseas trip? Yes! No! It’s only temporary, a pause. It’s not about religion, it’s about security! He ignores civic and cultural politesse when that politesse is not just old sissy stuff but a melting-pot tradition that exists for good reason. In defense of his stand he evokes FDR’s actions during World War II, which included putting Japanese-Americans in internment camps. Mr. Trump seems to think that was a good thing because FDR did it. But it is regarded as an American embarrassment and a stain on FDR’s legacy. And this is not a Secret of History. Congress officially apologized for internment 27 years ago.
.
All of this forced us into the nonsensical but at this point compulsive media cycle in which Mr. Trump says something rash, the media pounce, and Republican contenders are told they must denounce him or forfeit their place among the just and the good. Mr. Trump then announces he is misunderstood—that in fact he loves women, Mexicans, Muslims, whoever he has offended this week. Oddly enough, I think he is sincere about this and feels genuinely injured. But one thing an effective leader must always do is know what can be misunderstood and guard against it, what can be misconstrued and used to paint you—and your followers—as bigoted. Leaders try hard not to let that happen. It is the due diligence of politics.
.
A continuing mystery of Mr. Trump is his failure to impose on himself political discipline. He has been front-runner for six months but he doesn’t act as if he has absorbed the fact that he could become the nominee. At this point he owes it to his country—he owes it to his own ambition!—to become disciplined in terms of statements and policy. It is possible for candidates to be vivid but careful, dramatic but responsible. When you’re winning you can’t just keep pulling it out of your orifices. Mr. Trump’s lack of discipline should worry his supporters. I know it doesn’t, but it should. Because indiscipline shows disrespect. And people pick up on it, they see it.
.
It is odd too that, as the longtime front-runner, he doesn’t attempt to reassure those who will have some impact on his future, such as state and national party leaders. In his daily actions he could continue to excite his base while subtly signaling to party elders that while he might be an unusual nominee he would, in some recognizable way, be a responsible one. Instead he ties them in knots each day and embarrasses them. That limits his popularity, lowers his ceiling of support, and reinforces the idea he’s an impetuous flake.
.
He tweets out taunts alerting party stalwarts to his continued popularity in the polls, and noting that while he does not intend to go third-party he certainly could. This is a form of blackmail: Nice little party you’ve got here. Shame if someone blew it up.
.
GOP leaders seem to be doing the only thing they can—watch the process play out and hope for good outcomes. Sooner or later, they hope, the field will winnow and it will be Mr. Trump with his 35% versus one, two or three non-Trumps who’ll fight over the 65%. Party leaders’ position is delicate. They are certain they cannot win the presidency with Mr. Trump as the candidate. And they know they can’t win the presidency if embittered Trump supporters stay home or bolt. They can’t win with him and can’t win without his people.
.
Meanwhile Mr. Trump’s supporters, like Mr. Trump himself, appear to care nothing for the GOP. They believe America is in danger and this is no time for party loyalty. In any case they haven’t felt that loyalty for years because the party has disappointed them for years. Mr. Trump is both the expression and a deepening cause of the party’s fissuring.
.
The biggest reason has been the distance—the chasm—between the party elite at the top, who are more or less for illegal immigration, and the bulk of the party on the ground, who are opposed. In this case there is a chasm between elites concerned that they personally will look bigoted if they take action and voters concerned about who comes into America in the age of ISIS. It is a split, a distance; it is primarily the fault of the top, not the bottom; and Mr. Trump, who through his popularity could choose to be a bridge across the distance is instead functioning as a deepener of it.
.
If the nominee is not decided in the primaries and everything is fought through at the convention—well, that will be some convention. In the old fashioned, fisticuffs sense.

 Budgeting for a Republican President  
When Paul Ryan succeeded John backstabber-Boehner as speaker of the House, we hoped he wouldn't turn out to be "backstabber-Boehner Jr." when it came to holding the conservative line against the Democrat minority. While many conservatives may be tempted to attribute the moniker to him in light of the latest budget, it's important to remember that Barack nObama still holds the White House and Republicans are budgeting for the future — and a GOP president.
          This week, Speaker Ryan unveiled a $1.1 trillion, 2,000-page spending and taxes package that can hardly be called a home run for conservatives. In fact, it's a steaming pile of Potomac sludge. The biggest caveat is that spending levels for the package had already been determined back in October by backstabber-Boehner's last hurrah. You'll recall that backstabber-Boehner, unable to get his own party on board, rounded up Democrat support to push through a budget deal increasing federal spending by $80 billion over the next two years.
          While Ryan was constrained by backstabber-Boehner's parting gift, it's what made it into Ryan's plan — and what didn't — that has some folks raising eyebrows.
          In the Republican "win" column, the plan lifts the 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports. In exchange, however, Democrats secured a five-year extension of tax breaks for wind and solar energy producers.
          Another win came on nObamaCare. The Wall Street Journal explains, "Crucially, they preserved the explicit legal language preventing a risk-corridor bailout of money-losing insurers on the Affordable Care Act exchanges. The medical device tax will be suspended for two years, and the insurance industry tax for a year, while the so-called Cadillac tax on high-cost health plans will start in 2020 instead of 2018."  -The Patriot Post

 nObama: No Credible Terrorism Threat Over the Holidays  
And we thought the holidays were about joy, hope and peace. The commander in chief — who is leading a government that 56% Americans believe cannot protect the nation from a large-scale attack and 77% believe cannot protect the nation from a lone-wolf attack — said his intelligence community has not received credible information that there will be a terrorist attack over the holidays. "At this moment our intelligence and counterterrorism professionals do not have any specific and credible information about an attack on the homeland," Barack nObama said Thursday. "That said, we have to be vigilant."
          The biggest obstacle to the nObama administration's ability to protect the homeland is that nObama makes everything political. Currently, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations sent a letter of questions to the Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson kicking off an investigation into the DHS policy of not reading what visa applicants post on the Internet via social media as part of the vetting process for entrance. This is the same administration that shuttered a task force that was tracking members of the Muslim movement to which one of the San Bernardino killers belonged because it was "profiling Muslims."
          Meanwhile, the feds charged the friend of Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino murderers, for conspiring to commit another terror attack with Farook in 2012. Enrique Marquez Jr. passed a background check and bought the rifles Farook used in the San Bernardino attack — a straw purchase. And who wants to bet that nObama, ever the opportunist to plug for gun control, uses this to argue that the nation's background check system isn't doing a good enough job vetting citizens seeking to purchase arms? Better to ban, he might say. And in the meantime, given his impeccable timing for national security boasts, you better watch out this holiday season.  -The Patriot Post

 Don't Trust Democrats With Secrets and Email Tech  
Playing fast and loose with secrets — national and otherwise — is only a problem for Democrats if political enemies do it because that's when the rules matter. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in hot water with the Democratic National Committee after his staffers accessed voting data compiled by the Hilly Clinton campaign. As part of its service to the candidates, the DNC keeps a database of potential Democrat voters (and you thought they didn't want to keep track of illegal immigrants). Each candidate's campaign can access the data, and add their own information and firewalls to keep the candidate's own research secret from the others. During scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, a Sanders staffer accessed the data of the campaign of the heiress to the Democrat nomination. In this age of data-driven campaigns, this was a huge no-no. The DNC blocked Sanders' access to the data until there was assurance that all of the ill-gotten information was destroyed. Maybe Sanders just wanted his fair share.
          Of course, this isn't the first time that the Party of Clinton played fast and loose with sensitive information. Regarding that email scandal, a recent review from the intelligence community confirmed (despite State Department protests) that at least two emails containing information that was top secret — the highest classification level — passed through Clinton's server. Meanwhile, nObama Defense Secretary Ashton Carter admitted Wednesday that he too used his private email account to communicate about official business. Think about it: The cabinet member heading up the defense of the nation was using unsecured email. Amazingly, Carter kept using his private email for at least a full two months after Clinton's email habits were discovered and roundly criticized. It seems that Democrats — and especially those in the Most Transparent Administration in History™ — have a systematic problem with following the rules.   -The Patriot Post

 Christian Pastor on Trial for Preaching that Islam is Satanic  
{Onan Coca} ~ History has innumerable examples of how things that should never happen invariably do happen... Whether it’s democratic Germany becoming fascist (and racist), once anti-communist America seriously flirting with an avowed socialist politician, or formerly atheist Russia becoming the most outspoken “Christian” nation in the world, history has a way of taking our preconceived notions about what is and isn’t possible and flipping those things on their head. This same kind of “upsidedowness” is currently developing within Western culture with regards to Christianity, and more generally, Judeo-Christian ethics. Whether on homosexuality, Islam or liberty – our modern culture seems to be honestly repulsed by the many miracles that Judeo-Christian beliefs have bestowed upon our civilization. In fact, that repulsion to our beliefs has become so strong that we are even being jailed for speaking our mind (take that freedom of speech)!       http://eaglerising.com/27617/christian-pastor-on-trial-for-preaching-that-islam-is-satanic/

 Treason Details – Omnibus Betrayal By Ryan, McCon-nell  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ It’s not hard to find plenty of waste in the Omnibus spending bill that was just forced down the throats of the American people by their rulers... those who pretend to be public servants while exhibiting every dictatorial “quality” associated with evolving banana republics. Beyond just the incredible waste aspect, which is an undeniable threat to our economic viability, and one that is intended as a means to weaken the United States by the oligarchs in power, is the terrorist threat which is empowered by the funding of refugee programs which are being abused to import the enemy into our midst. In that regard, this bill is like a Trojan horse in which we can hear conversation and snickering in Arabic coming from inside the “gift,” but one which we inexplicably bring in behind the walls anyway.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23830

 This is Why American Voters are "in Open Rebellion"!  
{Onan Coca} ~ Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is right. Early Friday morning he was busy on the Senate floor excoriating the House for their passage of the Omnibus Bill... During his tirade against the Omnibus bill he said something that I think may be the most insightful thing i've heard from a politician in years. Basically, Sessions argued that the Omnibus bill is the perfect example of why the American voters are in "open rebellion" against the establishment in both parties. He's exactly, 100% correct. Democrat voters have taken to flirting with outright socialism in Bernie Sanders and GOP voters are contemplating voting for Donald Trump because they are so tired of the GOP establishment. Watch as Senator Sessions explains:

 Clinton, Mills Warned Not To Use Blackberry Devices

His information once again reveals that Clinton acted recklessly with State secrets and did so in spite of knowledge that her actions resulted in highly sensitive data being subject to foreign espionage targeting. He remarked that this new information indicates her “mishandling of classified information and violations of federal records laws” were “far from innocent.” On Friday the following information was posted on the Judicial Watch website:        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23844

 Muslims in America: The Backlash Industry  
{A.J. Caschetta} ~ Addressing the 10th Anniversary celebration of an Islamic advocacy group, Attorney General Loretta Lynch became the latest governmental official to warn of an impending anti-Muslim backlash... In the December 3rd speech, which echoed the admonitions of her predecessor Eric Holder, she took it a step further by vowing to prosecute those who speak or write about Islam in a way that she does not approve. She described her "greatest fear" as "the incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric" and vowed to prosecute speech that "edges towards violence." Lynch's hyperbole is in line with fears of an ever-imminent anti-Muslim backlash that much of the media has been warning about since the afternoon of September 11, 2001. Of course the backlash never came. The Attorney General's not-so-veiled assault on free speech and common sense ignores the real assault while instead conjuring up hyperventilated fantasies. In fact, American society has been incredibly tolerant of both Muslims and even Islamists – so much so that rather than focusing on the growing evidence of violent Islamists living among them, the majority of Americans seem more concerned about discomfiting their Muslim neighbors or being labeled Islamophobes.        http://www.meforum.org/5719/backlash-industry

 nObama Commutes Sentences of 95 Prisoners  
{Morgan Chalfant} ~ President nObama commuted the sentences of 95 prisoners and pardoned two, the White House announced in a statement Friday... The commutations represented the largest number nObama has announced at one time, according to the Associated Press, and were mainly granted to prisoners held for nonviolent drug crimes. Many of the individuals were serving time for crimes involving cocaine and crack. Among those pardoned were a woman from Virginia sentenced to home detention and supervised release for bank fraud and a man from Ohio sentenced to probation for counterfeiting. Oh-my, no mention of the Americans prisoned in Iran.       http://freebeacon.com/issues/obama-commutes-sentences-of-95-prisoners/

 WOW…Hilly Clinton Proclaims Her Love For Islam AGAIN…  
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ This time she used former U.S. President George W.

 Malkin: Open-Borders Money Backs Marco Rubio

But you'll get to the truth much faster when you learn where pro-amnesty power brokers have placed their bets and hitched their wagons.

 Terrorism: Where to Turn?  
{Richard Prasquier} ~ After the November 13 attacks in Paris, there were concerns in the media that Europe did not fully understand the gravity of the threats posed by radical Islam... Frances's Minister of the Interior, Bernard Cazeneuve, however, certainly did not hide his prediction that, this year, a large scale attack would take place in France. It was not a matter of "if," but "when" and "where." Thoughts first were for the victims, for those who will suffer all their lives -- young people who went out just to enjoy some music or eat with friends. Next came the questions: about the claim of responsibility by ISIS, and how the coordinated attacks would nullify the "lone wolf" theory -- a hypothesis largely refuted anyway. These were commandos trained to kill, and to kill themselves too.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7048/terrorism-isis-paris

 nObama Seeks to Reject Anti-Legalization Supreme Court Case  
{Natalie Myers} ~  Despite their anti-legalization of marijuana stance, nObama’s administration recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out a lawsuit against Colorado filed by Nebraska and Oklahoma which asked the Court to block the legalization of recreational marijuana... Nebraska and Oklahoma filed the case because they stated their resources are being drained in efforts to fight the amount of marijuana legally purchased in Colorado, but then brought illegally into their states. These two states aim to protect the health of their citizens by preventing the increase of marijuana that neighboring Colorado’s recreational law has caused. Although Nebraska and Oklahoma disagree with the Colorado law, they are not implying that Colorado has encouraged or authorized anyone to illegally travel across state lines with marijuana. This lawsuit was filed using the “original jurisdiction” process, where the Supreme Court oversees cases of state disputes that have not gone through the lower court system.

Terrorism Preps In The Show Me State…
Cell Phones, Propane Tanks
 And Explosives
Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
.
{noisyroom.net} ~ It’s been an interesting few weeks in The Show Me state of Missouri. Events there have not left anyone feeling as safe and secure as nObama keeps claiming they should be from his podium. Quite the opposite. Things in the US are getting really interesting these days in a bad way. First we had the Jihadist killings in San Bernardino by the Bonnie and Clyde of terrorism. On Syred Farook’s phone were pictures of at least 11 schools. Then this morning, the LA School District was evacuated. Over 700,000 students were sent home and 900 schools are being searched from top to bottom today because of an overseas terrorism threat sent to a school board member. That must have been one doozie of a threat. We are a little light on those details, but it evidently involved at least three schools and an unspecified number of students. Welcome to the new America.
0tocgRZ6o8ycpdpS0r1dhkjI-JukkFnlE_zKXl_4z5iOTCMyHE4DHYJjd1a9fss4LrlDAZVvzWktWv7JhHoJsKXpdrv6DGhfetpcTi-YFa0wrzrnbWyQPSIBxFGl88GDwBRz9DFb7Yr5Dg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
.
Missouri just became ground zero for some intense evolving events that have occurred there recently. In the last week, six Walmarts were visited in the wee hours of the morning by at least two Middle Eastern men. At each stop they purchased 60 burner phones. They couldn’t be arrested because technically they did nothing illegal. Cell phones can be used for communications in terrorist cells and as detonators for bombs. ISIS just released a snuff film in Syria showing rebel prisoners who had explosives placed underneath them. The thugs stood off and detonated the bombs with their phones and rebel bits went everywhere. Just think what they could do with over 360 phones and those are just the ones we know about.
.
As concerning as those events were, it gets even worse. Over the last two weeks in Missouri, dozens of propane tanks have been stolen from various locations. As with the cell phones, the FBI says they are not concerned. Really? I’m sure they realize you can make bombs from propane tanks. Not to mention, you can empty them, pack them with explosives and plant them back in stores of propane tanks and set them off remotely. Yep, there are all kinds of nifty, evil uses for propane. There was also a sighting in Florida of several Muslim men buying propane tanks in bulk. Gee, wonder what they intend to do with them? That would make for one hell of a barbecue.

.
My favorite part of this whole screwed up affair by far involves a walk in the woods in the same area where the cell phones were purchased and the propane tanks went missing. First off, a man was spotted acting very suspiciously in the area. He has never been found, no big surprise there. The coup de grace has to be the other incident that occurred in the Mark Twain National Forest in Mid-Missouri. This is just 30 minutes from Lebanon, Missouri where one of the Walmart purchases took place. A hunter was camping in those woods when he noticed that the earth had been disturbed. He dug a little and what he found rocked his world. He called the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department who came out and brought a whole bunch of experts with them. Buried there was a massive cache of explosives. Not the kind you buy for personal use. Terrorist grade… the kind used in IEDs and pipe bombs. Still think there’s nothing to worry about in Missouri? I’d get worried and fast. The best part… they found the cache in October. That’s right, two months ago and the authorities didn’t tell anyone. After all, we wouldn’t want people to panic or have any chance whatsoever to protect themselves, now would we? Unbelievable.
.

From Mad World News:

Officers found a huge cache of “extremely volatile” explosives, which police described to be of a style “that could not be purchased for recreational use.” This suggests that the extensive supply was all homemade pipe bombs or other IEDs, created and collected with a specific plan in mind. The stock was so dangerous that it couldn’t be safely detonated without the help of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit (EOD), the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s EOD Unit, and the Waynesville Rural Fire Department, KY3 reported. The exact location, as well asrecent developments, make this discovery even more concerning than what law enforcement knew at the time.

.
The sheriff and authorities are denying that any of this is connected to terrorism. They are telling the public there is nothing to see here, move along. But how many pieces of the puzzle have to fall into place before you warn the public that something very bad is brewing? Evidently they consider mass purchases of burner phones, the theft of dozens of propane tanks and the uncovering of explosives as routine and nothing for Missourians to worry their pretty little heads about. There is absolutely nothing to worry about here until the day there is of course.
