 GOWDY: HILLY’S LIBYA SOURCE WAS FUNNELING ‘INTEL’  FROM POTENTIAL PROFITEER 
Fox News: “Longtime Clinton insider Sidney Blumenthal was ‘merely a conduit’ and did not write the numerous memos about Libya he forwarded to then-Secretary of State Hilly Clinton, the chairman of the House panel investigating the deadly 2012 Benghazi attacks said Tuesday. Blumenthal was forwarding information from someone who may have had business interests in Libya, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly after Blumenthal spent nearly nine hours at the Capitol as Gowdy’s committee met in closed session…. ‘Not only was [Blumenthal] providing unvetted, uncorroborated, unsubstantiated intelligence to our top diplomat, he was just simply forwarding on intelligence that somebody by the name of Tyler Drumheller was sending him,’ Gowdy said.”
          “[Clinton] used the word ‘unsolicited’…When these emails are released, I want you to count the number of times she says ‘keep ‘em coming’ ‘this is great’ ‘useful information.’ I don’t know what her definition of unsolicited is, but it is very strikingly different from my own.”— Benghazi committee chairman, Trey Gowdy on “The Kelly File.” Watch the interview here -Fox News

 Trade still looms for Dems -  Fortune: “The House is giving itself until the end of July to reconsider denying President nObama the negotiating authority he needs to wrap up a 12-nation Pacific Rim trade pact…Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters Tuesday the decision came after several conversations with nObama about the way forward.”
          Dems fume over new nObama/GOP trade plan 
- WashEx reports that the idea that nObama might accept a GOP plan to pass a narrower trade bill is creating an uproar in Democratic ranks. “I think he would really, really piss off the majority of his party” if he went along with such a scenario, said Rep. David Scott, D-Ga., one of the most conservative members of the Congressional Black Caucus who sometimes votes with Republicans, but opposes fast track.
           Dems waffle on Defense - National Journal: “Senate Democrats were against defense authorization before they were for it. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way, their message is mixed: They fully support the troops, but they really don’t like how Republicans are supporting the troops with contingency war funds.”  -Fox News

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE 
Christopher Lee’s iconic villains may have some inspiration from real life horror. Lee, who died at age 92 earlier this month, was witness to the last public executionin France done by guillotine. The executed that day was Eugène Weidmann, a man convicted of several murders and kidnappings in the area. Women waited after his execution to dip their handkerchiefs in his blood. Authorities realized that instead of creating a public deterrent for crime, public executions riled public passions. Lee witnessed Weidmann’s beheading 76 years ago today.

 EPA Causing This Summer's Rising Electricity Rates 
Due to EPA regulations, you'll start to notice that your electricity bill is more expensive this summer. The Energy Information Administration predicted that Americans will spend 4.8% more on electricity this year than the last. Is global warming causing air conditioners to run more? Nah, it's just EPA regulations that are causing power plants to close because they are not deemed green enough. "Consumers are receiving the dim news as utilities take tens of thousands of megawatts of coal-generated power offline to comply with a host of EPA regulations and because of the sharp increase in cheap, domestic natural gas," The Washington Times reports. "Regulations such as the EPA's mercury and air toxic standards already are having an effect on the power sector, utilities and analysts say, and the impact will be greater after the agency releases further limits on carbon emissions from power plants this summer." The EPA argues the effects will be minuscule — people will hardly notice the bill. It's all part of a fight against the boogey man of "global warming," and old electricity plants must shutter to make way for politically correct plants — an expensive undertaking. But when has the EPA ever acted in the best interests of U.S. citizens?

Senator Jeff Sessions
 nObamatrade Centered On Oppressive Climate Rules  
(rickwells.us) ~ Senator Jeff Sessions warned his colleagues on Friday that world government under the United Nations is at our doorstep. An Agenda 21 climatocracy is a central component of nObamatrade... The structure of the agreements and the stated intentions of the government elites who are crafting the treasonous mechanism for the transformation of our country to fascist control have made it crystal clear. Senator Sessions opens the video saying, “At the most fundamental level, this Congress should not fast-track any trans-national union of which we are a part until we understand every word in it, we know exactly what it means, and the ‘president’ can answer it.” He says, “And I’ve asked him what it means, this living agreement language in a letter – no answer.” He states that the agreement includes an agreement that Congress recognizes that it will be bound by it, and that part of that new binding agreement includes the creation of a new commission. He asks what happens when the Pacific Union commission uses its living agreement powers to alter those obligations. He points out that the fact that we don’t know the extent to which we will be bound by future changes as one very good reason to slow down and to reject fast track; to have the agreement studied by lawyers who are experts on such matters.        http://rickwells.us/sen-sessions-obamatrade-centered-on-oppressive-climate-rules-creating-pacific-union-ruling-america/

 Mitch McCon-nell On Faith And Freedom? Betrayal And Enslavement  
(rickwells.us) ~ It’s ironic that Senator Mitch McCon-nell is speaking to a “Faith and Freedom” summit. In the upcoming week he intends to once again betray the faith placed in him by the American people and compromise and degrade our freedom by forcing fascism upon us in the form of nObamatrade... The people of Kentucky might be particularly interested to learn that the Pacific Union created by this deal will center on coal-killing environmental policies, as Senator Jeff Sessions just detailed last week on the Senate floor, a fact which is obviously known to the Majority Leader. While it is ironic, the forum and its associated signage is clearly not accidental. The American people rejected his, backstabber John Boehner and Paul Ryan’s dictatorial treachery with veracity equal to that of the usurper in the White House and he’s well aware of it. McCon-nell needs some good PR with Republicans so he’s announcing an anti-Abortion bill and attempting to hide behind it as he distracts us away from his treachery. Certainly it will be effective to some degree, but many of us aren’t so easily diverted when the issue is the future of our nation.        http://rickwells.us/mitch-mcconnell-on-faith-and-freedom-betrayal-and-enslavement-more-his-expertise/

Mexican Interior Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong
 Raping America Is A Mexican Right?  
(rickwells.us) ~ Mexico isn’t happy that someone who is running for president is calling them out for their invasion and for their predatory trade practices... They’re happy with things as they are, with American industry being relocated to their nation and their population being relocated to ours. For them it’s a win/win and for us, naturally, yet another lose/lose. Everybody in the current and many previous administrations have worked feverishly to get us to this critical point, where globalist pillagers are ravaging our economy to the point of financial ruin, both from within and without. Mexico doesn’t want their feeding frenzy or their invasion disrupted. When Donald Trump said what many Americans have been saying for years in recognition of the deterioration of our country, they felt a need to respond.        http://rickwells.us/raping-america-is-a-mexican-right-trump-messing-up-their-good-thing-official-whiny-response/

 nObamatrade Board Game Explanation – Why It’s Deadly For America  
(rickwells.us) ~ Nobody argues that free trade is a good thing except for those who have an opportunity for monopolistic trade. For them, free trade means the little guys can cut in on their action... Just like the Mafia families had their boroughs or neighborhoods, so do the corporate fascists; really big neighborhoods. And just as the Mafia types had enforcers to make sure that nobody violated their turf, the global elites have trade agreements. They call them free trade because it sounds better but they’re not free, they’re cartel controlled. They’re rewriting the rules in such a way that they will no longer be the lawbreakers operating illegally underneath the system with a nod, a wink and its protection. They’ll soon be the system, writing their own laws and rules, adjudicating lawsuits themselves in a total usurpation of the system, raping the United States and other nations with total immunity and impunity. This short, simple video explains part of the story in an easy to understand format. Regardless of which corrupt politicians tell you this is a good deal. It isn’t. It’s the worst possible of all deals. It’s the end of America as we know it; conquered without ever having fired a shot.       http://rickwells.us/obamatrade-board-game-explanation-why-its-deadly-for-america-in-about-a-minute/

 How Government Stifled Reason's Free Speech  
(Nick Gillespie & Matt Welch) ~ For the past two weeks, Reason, a magazine dedicated to "Free Minds and Free Markets," has been barred by an order from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from speaking publicly about a grand jury subpoena that court sent to Reason.com... The subpoena demanded the records of six people who left hyperbolic comments at the website about the federal judge who oversaw the controversial conviction of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. Shortly after the subpoena was issued, the government issued a gag order prohibiting Reason not only from discussing the matter but even acknowledging the existence of the subpoena or the gag order itself. As a wide variety of media outlets have noted, such actions on the part of the government are not only fundamentally misguided and misdirected, they have a tangible chilling effect on free expression by commenters and publications alike. Yesterday, after preparing an extensive legal brief, Reason asked the US Attorney's Office to join with it in asking that the gag order - now moot and clearly an unconstitutional prior restraint - be lifted. This morning, the US Attorney's Office asked the Court to vacate the order, which it did. We are free to tell the story for the first time.       http://reason.com/blog/2015/06/19/government-stifles-speech

 Kurds score big victory against ISIS, nObama taking credit  
(gopthedailydose.com) ~ Pretty much on their own, the Kurds are kicking some serious ISIS butt... Associated Press (via NBC News) reports that Kurdish fighters took full control of a key town on the Syria-Turkey border Tuesday, dealing a major blow to ISIS. Kurdish fighters have gained control of Tal Abyad, a city near the Turkish border. This victory against ISIS thugs has cut off key supply lines to the newly minted capital of ISIS located in Raqqa. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the triumph by Syrian Kurds in the town of Tal Abyad “is actually a direct consequence of an earlier military operation that President nObama ordered” to break the siege of the Syrian city of Kobani last fall. Mr. President, with all due respect, this is an indication of the amazing ability of the Kurds to fight and win against all odds with too little, too late help from the United States. These soldiers are apparently one of the few groups in the Middle East, aside from the Egyptians and the Jordanians, who have the determination, bravery, and the know-how to take it to ISIS.        http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/06/19/kurds-score-big-victory-against-isis-obama-immediately-has-this-to-say/

 nObama Released 121 Convicted Criminal Illegal Aliens  
(gopthedailydose.com) ~ Three recent items highlight the continuing collapse of interior immigration enforcement under nObama. The first is information pried out of DHS by Senators Grassley and Sessions... One hundred twenty-one convicted criminals who faced deportation orders between 2010 and 2014 were never removed from the country and now face murder charges, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Just to be clear, these were convicted criminals, in ICE custody, who had been ordered deported but were instead released back into U.S. communities, and then went on to murder Americans.       http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/06/19/alert-obama-released-121-convicted-criminal-illegal-aliens-back-into-community/

 UN Court Seeks Prison Term for Journalist  
(Alex Newman) ~ The United Nations “Special Tribunal for Lebanon” (STL) was ostensibly set up to find and bring to justice the killers of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, who was murdered a decade ago along with more than 20 others in a massive bomb explosion... But rather than fulfilling its mandate after squandering some $500 million tax dollars, the UN court is seeking to put journalist Karma Khayat in prison for seven years — not for killing the late Lebanese leader, but for her groundbreaking reporting on the case that exposed the court’s stunning incompetence. The Hague-based UN outfit is also demanding that Khayat’s media outlet, Beirut-based TV news station Al-Jadeed, hand over up to $7 million in “fines.” In closing statements on June 19 and in an interview with The New American later in the day, Khayat lambasted the UN court and what she said was its outrageous assault on fundamental human rights. “This is a case against freedom of speech and the free press,” she told The New American from Holland after the last day of the trial. “It’s definitely illegitimate to prosecute journalists. The tribunal’s role was to find those who assassinated our prime minister. It should not be used against journalists. We have enough dictators in the Arab region, and we certainly don’t need this.” A “verdict” on the case is expected in the coming months, she said.        http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/21097-un-court-seeks-prison-term-for-journalist?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=2e9352e244-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-2e9352e244-289778381

 Chinese Espionage: Was the OPM “Hack” Not a Hack, but Treason?  
(Selwyn Duke) ~ Despite its importance, there’s a story that’s not getting out to the public — at least not as quickly as data that should be secret is getting out to the Chinese... Many of you have heard about the supposed “hack” of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in which the Chinese were able to obtain personal information on millions of U.S. government employees. But PJ Media’s Richard Fernandez points out that the term “hack” should be used advisedly. He then quotes technology site Ars Technica: Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity Dr. Andy Ozment testified that encryption would “not have helped in this case” because the attackers had gained valid user credentials to the systems that they attacked. As Fernandez explains, “social engineering” is Internet technology lingo and a euphemism for “Someone gave them the password.” And that means that “hack” here could be a euphemism for something else: Treason.       http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/item/21098-chinese-espionage-was-the-opm-hack-not-a-hack-but-treason?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=2e9352e244-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-2e9352e244-289778381

 Same-Sex: Efforts to Have Justices Ginsburg and Kagan Recuse  
(Herbert W. Titus & William K. Olson) ~ Not only will we soon know how the U.S. Supreme Court decides the issue of same-sex marriage in the Obergefell case — we will also know if the Court will follow federal law and its own judicial ethics rules in reaching that decision... On June 17, 2015, former U.S. Magistrate Judge Joe Miller wrote and published an article calling for Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan to recuse from participating in the consolidated same-sex marriage cases now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court on the ground of bias. In support, Miller noted that both justices had officiated in the marriage ceremonies of same-sex couples, and that Justice Ginsburg had gone so far as to strongly suggest in public that the time for same-sex marriage had arrived.        http://joemiller.us/2015/06/same-sex-marriage-efforts-to-have-justices-ginsburg-and-kagan-recuse-take-a-troubling-turn/?utm_source=JoeMiller.US+List&utm_campaign=f7530755b1-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_065b6c381c-f7530755b1-230998701

     (michellemalkin.com) ~ Fifteen years ago this week, my beautiful daughter Veronica entered the world. She didn’t make a sound. As I stretched out my arms to hold her in the delivery room, furrow-browed doctors and nurses instead whisked her away. I shouted after them in panic:
.
“Is she all right? Is she going to be OK?!”
.
     Slightly underweight and jaundiced, she remained in the hospital for several days before we got the all-clear. My husband and I counted our blessings. But it wouldn’t be the last time we felt the pangs of parental helplessness when it came to her health.
.
     Here’s the good news: In the blink of an eye, our shy, clingy little girl blossomed into a wry, wisecracking and independent young lady. She loves to go fishing, hates shallow people, solves a Rubik’s Cube in 35 seconds, prefers true-crime novels to “Twilight” schlock and recently developed a thing for ice hockey players. Veronica’s a wicked Photoshopper, a talented drawer, a makeup artist and (unlike mom) a math whiz. Until six weeks ago, her main obsessions were “Grey’s Anatomy,” the Stanley Cup, Instagram, her new cartilage piercing, an actor named Evan Peters and the hope of getting a learner’s permit.
.
     Just before Mother’s Day weekend, however, she started having what appeared to be respiratory trouble. She “couldn’t get a good breath” and began gently gasping and sighing for air every few minutes. Two trips to the ER later, she had been administered ibuprofen for “costochondritis” and then albuterol to open up her airways.
.
     The problem is that all the various tests and exams indicate she’s getting plenty of oxygen. Her lungs, heart and vocal cords are all “normal,” and yet she describes a chronic feeling that she’s “drowning.” Every day begins with gasping beyond her control, multiple times a minute, nonstop, every hour of every day, until she reaches a point of exhaustion at 1 or 2 in the morning.
.
After a brief respite while sleeping, the day-mare starts all over again.
.
     Despite taking an alphabet soup of potent neuro-related meds for tics and Tourette’s, Veronica’s condition has steadily deteriorated. The force and frequency of the gasping — now with loud stridor on both the inhale and exhale — keep her in bed most of the day. She has choked on food and drink several times; aspiration is a constant risk.
.
     It has been agonizing to watch her suffer while waiting weeks and months on end to see an increasingly short supply of specialists. It is more agonizing knowing that, despite obtaining the best care possible for her, we still don’t really know what’s going on. “Dr. Google,” though much maligned, has helped connect us to compassionate patient advocacy groups and websites for other perplexed parents with children suffering chronic mystery ailments. The awareness of not being alone is profoundly comforting. But we don’t know how long the winding trail of diagnoses and trial-and-error prescriptions will go on.
.
     On her birthday week, I’m overwhelmed at the strength and grace that my fierce first-born child has shown. My husband and I named her after St. Veronica, a woman who displayed great courage in the face of adversity when she stepped forward from a jeering mob to comfort Jesus on the road to Calvary. Over the past month and a half, our teenage daughter has shown more resilience worthy of her namesake than I have witnessed in most adults. She is my hero.Through it all, Veronica has not cried or raged or lost her will. Not once. I confess that I can’t say the same, though I put on a good game face for work and public functions. With every labored breath she takes, every minute, every hour of the day, the same waking, aching thoughts echo without relief or resolution:
.
“Is she all right? Is she going to be OK?!”

 Barack, Francis, Hot Air and Social Justice 
The United Nations is apparently now writing "climate change" encyclicals for the Vatican. On Monday, an Italian magazine leaked a draft copy of Pope Francis' 191-page address on the topic. Taking a page from the Left's playbook, the pope insists that curbing global warming is a moral imperative. "Humanity is called on to be aware of the need to change lifestyles, production and consumption," he says, because the world is filled with a "culture of waste." We are all for using energy judiciously and curbing waste, but not under the pretense of a UN-Vatican mandate. The encyclical coincides with nObama's announcement this week of his plans for more climate "executive actions" in order to bypass Congress. Like nObama, the Pope has long advocated for liberation theology, a doctrine similar to that propagated by nObama's religious mentor, Jeremiah Wright, and other Marxist promoters of "social justice." Many Catholics in the U.S. take strong exception to the pope acting as a water boy for the UN. Big-government statists at the UN welcome the pope's statement, as it may assist with the UN's global climate treaty negotiations at the upcoming Paris summit — a treaty which would be more accurately called a "global economic control" treaty. nObama insists, "If I can encourage and gain commitments from the Chinese to put forward a serious plan to start curbing their greenhouse gases, that then allows us to leverage the entire world." However, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) made clear that neither he nor his Republican colleagues are drinking nObama's Kool-Aid: "The Senate is not going to ratify any international climate treaty that continues this trend [centralizing the global economy]."

 nObama May Fundamentally Transform Economy 
The n Obama administration claims that the money dropping into the U.S. debt hole has declined. Jobs are up. The economy is coming back. (Y'know, except for those pesky winters.) But the reports are coming in that counter the administration's propaganda. First, the Congressional Budget Office issued a report Tuesday claiming that, if left unchecked, the U.S. debt will become much, much worse. "The long-term outlook for the federal budget has worsened dramatically over the past several years, in the wake of the 2007-2009 recession and slow recovery," the CBO said in its report. The debt could double by 2040 if left unchecked. It's a massive problem, almost too large for any politician in Washington to recognize, but one that will affect the economic vitality of the nation far into the future. Part of the problem is that entitlement spending is going to increase as the baby boomer generation heads into retirement. As for the generation that's supposed to keep entitlement spending going, millennials have entered the job market at the lowest part of the recession. According to statistics blog Five Thirty Eight, that generation holds more personal debt, makes less money and owns fewer and less expensive homes. Furthermore, because millennials entered the job market in a tough economic time, they will make less money over the course of their careers. Thank to his administration's shenanigans, Barack nObama could have the legacy of fundamentally transforming the American economy.  -The Patriot Post

 Hilly, The Miser 
In 2014, Hilly Clinton spoke at a Boys and Girls Club fundraiser. Like most of the "dead broke" politician's speeches, this one was for a fee: $200,000. Usually, a speaker appearing at a nonprofit will charge a fee and then donate it back, especially if it's a smaller organization. That's what Condoleezza Rice did when she spoke at the Boys and Girls Club in 2009. But not Clinton. She turned around and deposited the check into the Clinton Foundation. Politico reports, "[F]undraising experts and people affiliated with some nonprofits on the list — including the Boys and Girls Club — grumbled that the hefty price tag for securing a Clinton speech is a significant drain on small charities' fundraising and that community-based nonprofits could put the money to better use." Furthermore, Clinton's campaign is running off the work of full-time interns who work for free. The Guardian reports that the people taking these jobs are seasoned politicos who wish to enter Clinton's good graces. How can she talk about a bad economy and a wage gap when she doesn't take care of the people working to get her elected? Remember, this is the same Hilly Clinton that said, "I don't think Americans are against success, I think they're against people who get on top of the ladder and starts pulling it up so that nobody else has the same chance that they had. ... Those of us who do have opportunities how to be doing more to help other people do the same."

 DEMS TOY WITH BERNIE AS HILLY SEES SWING STATE  
 DROP 
The bad news for Hilly Clinton today comes in two polls.
           One is from New Hampshire that shows Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders getting to within 10 points of Clinton and another that shows her trailing in must-win Ohio and knotted up against less-known potential GOP rivals in swing states Florida and Pennsylvania.
          The New Hampshire poll tells us that Democrats are thinking this election is in the bag and are indulging themselves with the idea of offering symbolic support for a self-described socialist who favors a policy list that would make swing and independent blanch. Trillions of spending and new taxes on everything from free college to global warming are not winners for debt-averse, economically insecure suburbanites.
          Republican voters, after two heartbreaking quadrennial elections, are kicking old habits with an eye on retaking the White House. Democrats, though, may be trying to get back on the Hopium in a misplaced belief that their victory is inevitable. If Democratic voters get Sanders into the discussion with Clinton and potentially even force her to adopt even more of his far-out positions, the party will be badly damaging its chances.
          Driven substantially by her falling trustworthiness, Clinton finds herself in trouble compared to three months ago in Quinnipiac University’s swing-state poll. Clinton does best on Florida (not good news for either of the favorite sons running there) but in all three, the results are fairly consistent.
          Take Ohio. In March, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was trailing Clinton by 9 points. This week, it’s down to 1 point.  Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker trailed in a head-to-head matchup by 11 points. Now it’s 4 points. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul improved by 6 points and 5 points, respectively. And the state’s Gov. John Kasich went from a 1-point deficit in January to a 7-point advantage today.
          Some if this is a result of Clinton’s policy changes and efforts to identify herself as a partisan figure and a very liberal one at that, but another part is that voters increasingly distrust her. But the net effect is to damage her standing with general-election voters.
          And herein we see another problem with “inevitable” candidates: They struggle to get their parties in line because they lack the powerful political motivator of fear.  -Fox News

 Reign of Terror: Inside the Islamic State  
(Robert Spencer) ~ The Islamic State’s caliphate turns one year old on June 29, and few inside its domains, aside from the true believers who have traveled all over the world to live in the Islamic promised land, are likely to be celebrating... Like all totalitarian states, it has swiftly established for its citizens an environment of oppression and fear, supported (in a new twist) not by a personality cult centered upon the specter of a ubiquitous, all-seeing, all-knowing leader, but by the guilt-manipulation of religious duty. Obey the Islamic State’s dictates, no matter how egregious, or else you’ll not just be tortured and brutally murdered, but you’ll burn in hell besides. And so those deemed to be ideologically deviant are not labeled “counterrevolutionaries” or “imperialist running dogs” or “capitalist roaders,” but “heretics,” and are made to carry “repentance cards.”        http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/robert-spencer/reign-of-terror-inside-the-islamic-state/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4dd50b108b-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-4dd50b108b-156509103

Hilly and Huma Abedin
 Time for Huma Abedin to Come Out of the Shadows  
(Joseph Klein) ~ Huma Abedin, Hilly Clinton’s longtime confidante, is currently the vice chair of her 2016 presidential campaign. “I’m not sure Hilly could walk out the door without Huma,” Clinton adviser Mandy Grunwald said back during the days of Hilly’s first run for the presidency... Huma and Hilly are inseparable, including having been linked together on a private e-mail network while Ms. Clinton was Secretary of State and Ms. Abedin was her deputy chief of staff. If Hilly Clinton were to be elected president of the United States, Ms. Abedin will no doubt be right there with Hilly as her right hand person in the White House. And that may well be a major coup for the Muslim Brotherhood, whose strategic plan calls for destroying Western civilization from within and “‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers…” In view of her background that involves the Muslim Brotherhood, it is time for Huma Abedin to come out of the shadows and reveal exactly what she did and whom she communicated with while at the Clinton State Department.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/joseph-klein/time-for-huma-abedin-to-come-out-of-the-shadows/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=4dd50b108b-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-4dd50b108b-156509103

 8 false assumptions that undercut US Iraq policy  
(Michael Rubin) ~ US policy toward Iraq is floundering. While President nObama’s strategy to degrade and defeat the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) has failed, partisan aspersions... blaming Bush for the initial Iraq invasion or nObama for allowing the Islamic State to resurrect itself by withdrawing precipitously and then ignoring Syria—do not substitute for a strategy to counter the problems emanating from Iraq today. When it comes to policy formation, however, garbage in leads to garbage out. A strategy that is based on false assumptions about Iraq will only make matters worse. Over at Commentary, I take on eight myths and assumptions about Iraq that corrupt policy formation.        http://www.aei.org/publication/8-false-assumptions-that-undercut-us-iraq-policy/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061915

 Clinton Proposes “Revenue Enhancements” for America  
(totalconservative.com) ~ Sometimes it’s refreshing and instructive to take a step back from the microanalysis of every little thing our politicians say, put the scandals back in the closet, and remember that a tax-and-spend Democrat by any other name… Hilly Clinton has determined that income inequality will be her big message for 2016, and she is already peeling back the onion to give voters a peek at her plans. Does she have some revolutionary idea that will finally close the gap between the 1% and the rest of the country? Well, no, although she has adopted a nice new code phrase that we can probably expect to hear a few thousand times over the next year. The phrase is “revenue enhancements,” and it was used by Clinton Press Secretary Brian Fallon yesterday on Twitter. According to him, these revenue enhancements will be used to boost federal programs like universal preschool. And what are these revenue enhancements, pray tell? Why, they are tax hikes, of course! What else would you expect from a liberal Democrat?

 nObama Confuses White House For Prison  
(Patrick Howley) ~ President Barack nObama accidentally compared himself to a prisoner stuck in the White House while speaking at a Beverly Hills fundraiser at filmmaker Tyler Perry’s house Thursday... “We should be reforming our criminal justice system in such a way that we are not incarcerating nonviolent offenders in ways that renders them incapable of getting a job after they leave office,” nObama said, effectively comparing being in prison to being in office.“Little slip of the tongue there. Little Freudian slip,” nObama said after making his gaffe. “Tyler is going to give me a job once I leave.”        http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/19/obama-confuses-white-house-for-prison/

Pamela Geller
SPLC Issues Hit List of U.S. Women Against Sharia Law  
(pamelageller.com) ~ It’s the summer special from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an extremist nonprofit that lists conservative organizations that disagree with it on social issues on a catalogue of “hate groups.”... A few years ago a gunman received a 25-year prison sentence for carrying out the politically-motivated shooting of the Family Research Council (FRC) headquarters after admitting that he learned about the FRC from the SPLC “hate map.” Prosecutors called it an act of terrorism and recommended a 45-year sentence. Now the SPLC, which has conducted diversity training for the nObama Department of Justice (DOJ), is targeting female bloggers, activists and television personalities who refuse to comply with Sharia law which is rooted in the Quran. The European Court on Human rights has repeatedly ruled that Sharia is “incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy” yet politically-connected radical Muslim groups—such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)—keep pushing to implement it in the United States and the movement has gained steam. Among those resisting this effort publicly are the high-profile women being targeted by the SPLC. Some of them are colleagues or friends of Judicial Watch and now they must fear for their safety simply for practicing their rights under the U.S. Constitution. The new hate list is titled Women Against Islam/The Dirty Dozen and includes illustrations and detailed information on all the women, who are branded “the core of the anti-Muslim radical right.” The new SPLC hate brochure further targets them by claiming that they’re “a dozen of the most hardline anti-Muslim women activists in America.”       http://pamelageller.com/2015/06/splc-issues-hit-list-of-u-s-women-against-sharia-law.html/

ISIS member destroying a Christian tombstone
 Muslim Persecutions of Christians  
(Raymond Ibrahim) ~ On April 2 in Kenya, gunmen from the Somali Islamic group, Al Shabaab -- "the Islamic youth" -- stormed Garissa University, singled out Christian students, and murdered them, beheading some... A total of 147 people were killed in the attack -- making this jihad more "spectacular" than the 2013 Al Shabaab attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, which left 67 people dead (then too, Islamic gunmen singled out Christians for slaughter). Islamic gunmen were careful to separate Christians from Muslims before beginning the carnage, eyewitnesses said. (While Kenya is 83% Christian, it still has an 11% Muslim minority.) Collins Wetangula, vice chairman of the student union, said he could hear, from inside his room where he was hiding, the gunmen opening doors and inquiring if the people inside were Muslims or Christians. "If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot. With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die." Al Shabaab has a long history of singling out Christians from among Muslims for slaughter (hereare four examples). Other jihadi groups, including Boko Haram and the Islamic State, also make it a point to select out Christians before slaughtering them -- a fact often omitted by the "mainstream media."       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6001/islamic-persecution

DiCaprio
 UN Climate Tool DiCaprio Launches “Grass Roots” Energy Scam  
(rickwells.us) ~ DiCaprio, who is second only to Al Gore in “do as I say not as I do” energy wasting and haranguing, declared, “This is a grassroots people’s movement, but the ambition of this movement is absolutely revolutionary... Clean energy grows local economies.” Grassroots means he’s not putting any of his own money in the game, just his name and probably funds from a federal grant somewhere along the way. Pagesix.com reported that DiCaprio stated in the launch that “The clean energy movement was no longer about politics, but humanity.” So DiCaprio admits we were right to see through the fraud before, when the politicians told us it was about the environment. It was about politics then, but now things are different. They’re sincere now, it’s about humanity. Now the humanity theme is being played up big. It’s likely being coordinated with DiCaprio’s comrades at the UN in conjunction with Pope Francis’ encyclical. It’s all part of a coordinated assault on the disorganized sheep of the world to herd us into green little cages. The wise Mr. DiCaprio declared “This is a grassroots people’s movement, but the ambition of this movement is absolutely revolutionary. Clean energy grows local economies.” Mr. DiCaprio was never educated beyond home schooling his last year of high school. It’s possible he is a self-taught energy and economic expert, but not likely. If he is then he’s exposed himself as a liar because green energy is cost and energy negative. It requires traditional, coal, natural gas or other methods of “carbon based” energy as a backup for when the sun doesn’t shine or the wind doesn’t blow. A move to “clean energy” actually requires more production to achieve the same levels of capacity.        http://rickwells.us/un-climate-tool-dicaprio-launches-grass-roots-energy-scam-on-heels-of-pope-encyclical/

Uighur rights groups say China’s restrictions on Islam in Xinjiang have added to violent ethnic tensions in the region 
 China bans Ramadan fasting due to celebrations  
(themuslimissue.wordpress.com) ~ China has banned civil servants, students and teachers in its mainly Muslim Xinjiang region from fasting during Ramadan and ordered restaurants to stay open... Most Muslims are required to fast from dawn to dusk during the holy month, which began on Thursday, but China’s ruling Communist party is officially atheist and for years has restricted the practice in Xinjiang, home to the mostly Muslim Uighur minority. “Food service workplaces will operate normal hours during Ramadan,” said a notice posted last week on the website of the state Food and Drug Administration in Xinjiang’s Jinghe county. Officials in the region’s Bole county were told: “During Ramadan do not engage in fasting, vigils or other religious activities,” according to a local government website report of a meeting this week. Each year, the authorities’ attempt to ban fasting among Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang receives widespread criticism from rights groups.

nObama and Pope Francis
 Pope Joins nObama in Perpetrating The Greatest Fraud Of All Time  
(rickwells.us) ~ The Agenda 21 cause of global enslavement would normally be a tough sell, but some people are unwilling to believe that the very people they most admire are the ones they should be most leery of... That is true of Hussein nObama and his destructive influence on minority Americans and it is true of Catholics with Pope Francis. The video provides a general overview of what is behind the climate change encyclical that Pope Francis issued last Thursday, and the obvious timing intended to move public opinion towards global Marxism and taxation under the United Nations. They note how the involvement of the Pope in the fraud of climate change in the pursuit of a global communism is to somehow provide moral authority, though it is illogical that a true man of God would work to enslave people to an atheist ideology.        http://rickwells.us/pope-francis-joins-obama-in-perpetrating-the-greatest-fraud-of-all-time-worldwide/

Crime & Punishment
.
Burt_Header_M2.jpg
.
     (burtprelutsky.com) ~ The role of the police in 2015 America has suddenly become such a contentious issue that even presidential candidates have been forced to offer comments. Not too surprisingly, Hilly Clinton has opted to come out on the same side as Barack nObama, Eric Holder, Loretta Lunch, Al Sharpton, Bill Di Blasio and the lizard ladies of Baltimore, Marilyn Mosby and Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, in favor of the rioters and in opposition to the cops.
.
     But that’s not too surprising if you’ve read Ron Kessler's books about the Secret Service in which he quotes past and present agents discussing Mrs. Clinton’s open contempt for the military and the members of law enforcement, including, incredibly, even those responsible for protecting her, Bill and Chelsea.
.
     Nobody on the Left ever wants to discuss the abominable way the black community treats cops, only to parrot the complaints of those in the community, including street thugs and the sleazy members of the Congressional Black Caucus, who have a vested interest in promoting an “Us against Them” narrative.
.
     Years ago, when I was working as a copywriter in an ad agency, I had a friend who had a friend, a white college graduate who decided to become a cop for all the right, idealistic, reasons. My friend reported that a year later, after his friend had spent several months in a black-and-white, patrolling a pre-riot Watts, he was referring to the members of the community as the Mau-Mau.
.
     First, the liberals told us we don’t need our guns because we have the cops to protect us. Then they told the cops to stand down.
.
     Which brings us to my new favorite bumper sticker: It shows the back of a cop’s shirt. On it is written “My job is to save your ass. Not kiss it.”
.
     ♦ When I recently wrote that I would make computer hacking a capital crime, I wasn’t referring to the sort of state-funded stuff that governments such as China, Russia and, yes, the U.S., all engage in, as they try to find out each other’s secrets. I was referring to the stuff that nerds do for no other reason than to aggravate other people. When someone wrote to suggest that I was going overboard, that the punishment should fit the crime, I told him, as respectfully as I could, that he was all wet.
.
     The sad fact is that the punishment never fits the crime. Even when it comes to murder, the killer generally gets off with a mere prison term. Besides, even if he’s executed, how can that make up for his killing and possibly raping and torturing his victim? And if he killed more than one person, the imbalance becomes even greater.
.
     We know that if there were no risk of punishment, there would be even more murders committed. But we don’t know how big a deterrent capital punishment is because nobody ever announces how many people he didn’t murder because of it. What we do know is that certain people kill in spite of the risk.
.
     However, when people do things just for the sake of annoying people, motivated not by a profit motive or even for revenge, but just because they’re punks -- be it hacking a stranger’s computer or spray painting somebody’s wall -- my guess is that they’d think twice about it if they risked being executed if caught.
.
     ♦ Such prominent leftists as Barack nObama and Pope Francis have decided that in a world beset with such existential dangers as Islamo-fascism, an expansionist China, a Stalin wannabe named Putin and a psycho named Kim Jong-un, the thing we really have to worry about is a globe that hasn’t shown any signs of warming over the past two decades. If nothing else, it should prove to skeptics that just because people such as presidents and popes are duly elected doesn’t mean a damn thing if those casting the votes are pinheads.
.
     ♦ Some people like to deride social conservatives as being on the wrong side of history simply because polls indicate that a majority of young people favor government-funded abortions, same-sex marriages and legalized drugs. All it really shows is how many millions of parents have stood idly by while the left-wing schools and media have turned their impressionable young brains into mush, convincing the young louts that being empty headed and non-judgmental is synonymous with being broad-minded.
.
     ♦ In case you missed the news, a report that Science magazine had published on gays was retracted when the editors discovered that the report was basically a work of fiction with no statistical underpinnings. What’s more, bribes had been paid in the process of putting together the phony data.
.
     Although I had been unaware of the original article, I was not the least bit surprised that, as with the global warming hoax, it turned out to be the inevitable result of a political agenda and had nothing to do with actual science.
.
     When it comes to homosexuality, which has labored for years to appear far more commonplace than it actually is, the best advice is to divide the purported number of sexual deviants by five or ten in order to approach the actual figure.
.
     For some reason, those engaged in research on the topic-- people like Havelock Ellis, Alfred Kinsey, William Masters and Virginia Johnson -- seem obligated to inflate the numbers, perhaps as a way to magnify the importance of their labors.
.
     I can only imagine that when they got word that Science magazine had acknowledged the error of its ways, the four of them all started spinning in their graves. That, as I see it, is only fitting, considering how much spinning they did when they were still alive.
.
     ♦ A reader wrote to ask me if I thought that now that Bruce Jenner is calling himself Caitlyn and posing for a Vanity Fair cover in a fetching one-piece bathing suit, he/she should be allowed to compete in track competitions as a woman.
.
     I reminded him that 40 years ago, Richard Raskind underwent radical surgery and emerged as Renee Richards, and demanded to play tournament tennis as a woman, albeit a 6’2” woman. After being initially turned down by the officials at the U.S. Open, Richards won in the courts, where lunacy is often known to prevail. Renee went on to compete for about five years and even wound up the subject of a 1986 TV movie starring, ironically, the virulently anti-Semitic Vanessa Redgrave as the transgendered Jewess.
.
     My correspondent then asked, if Bruce Jenner wound up competing in female track meets and set records, I thought asterisks would be appropriate.
.
     After giving it some thought, I decided asterisks would be out of place so long as Jenner elected to have them removed before competing.

 NEW DOUBTS ON HILLY’S DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION 
Fox News: “Dozens of emails handed over to Congress from a longtime Clinton confidant were not part of the trove of emails originally submitted by the State Department, Fox News has learned -- raising questions over why those emails were apparently withheld.  One source told Fox News the newly submitted emails from Sidney Blumenthal show a ‘significant gap’ in the record. Blumenthal was scheduled to testify in closed session Tuesday to the House panel probing the Benghazi attacks about frequent emails on Libya he sent to Hilly Clinton when she served as secretary of state. Blumenthal worked in the White House under President Clinton and is a longtime friend and adviser to the Clinton family.”
          NYT: “The committee has asked the State Department and Mrs. Clinton several times in the past year for emails from her and other department officials about ‘weapons located or found in’ Libya and about the decision to open and maintain a diplomatic mission in Benghazi….  It is not clear whether the State Department possesses the emails between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Blumenthal and did not hand them over. It is also possible that Mrs. Clinton never provided them to the department and deleted them off the server that housed the personal account she used exclusively when she was secretary of state.”  -Fox News

 Clintons soaked small charities-  The Clinton Foundation has raked in $11M in payments from small non-profit groups for speeches by Hilly, Bill and Chelsea, Politico reports. “When Condoleezza Rice headlined a 2009 fundraising luncheon for the Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach, she collected a $60,000 speaking fee, then donated almost all of it back to the club ... Hilly Clinton was not so generous to the small charity ... Clinton collected $200,000 to speak at the same event five years later, but she donated nothing back to the club ... Instead, Clinton steered her speaking fee to her family's own ... charity.”   -Fox News

 Oh, Hill no: Campaign fights with press over coverage -  Fox News“The simmering dispute over media access to Hilly Clinton’s presidential campaign erupted again Monday when a reporter for DailyMail.com was told by the campaign he couldn’t attend her events in New Hampshire. David Martosko, a reporter for DailyMail.com, a website affiliated with the Daily Mail in London, said the Clinton camp said his newspaper wasn’t part of the official group -- known as the print pool -- that covers the White House on a rotating basis. As a result, he was blocked Monday from covering her events in person for the pool…. The campaign said it is trying to resolve the issue. However, it denied any suggestion that Martosko was denied access because of his newspaper’s critical coverage of Clinton….Major media organizations in Clinton’s traveling press pool issued a statement Monday night defending Martosko and rejecting any attempt by the Clinton campaign to “dictate” who covers the candidate.
          “…[T]his is just one thing that she doesn’t get to control.  She wants press covering her.  That whole goal for politicians is to have the people covering them.  And then we the press get this idea, but one of them is, who is going to go in there and represent us.  And now the campaign, first they came out and they said, well, you’re foreign press.  And you responded by saying, there’s lots of foreign press and they’ve acted as pool before.” -- David Martosko, U.S. political editor for the Daily Mail on “The Kelly File”

 Dems beat war drums on trade -  President nObama’s defenders dished back to Hilly Clinton a day after the candidate told the president he “should listen to and work with his allies in Congress who rejected his bid for trade authority and if he can’t get a better deal, “there should be no deal." In a remarkably timely CNN article on Clinton’s waffling and how she wants to “take the lemons and turn it into lemonade," Jake Tapper writes, “ But as members of the nObama administration can attest, Clinton was one of the leading drivers of the TPP when Secretary of State. Here are 45 instances when she approvingly invoked the trade bill about which she is now expressing concerns.”
          “[S]he called the TPP, she said it was going to be the gold standard for trade agreements, so this is very, very freighted for her. This is difficult terrain to navigate because she owned this to some degree and now she has to try navigate through it. So it's going to be challenging for her. – former nObama adviser David Axelrod on MSNBC.

 nObama Admin ‘Cheered’ Private Scolding of Israeli Ambassador  
(Adam Kredo) ~ nObama administration staffers listened in on and “cheered” the private scolding of a former Israeli ambassador by senior a State Department official, according to new disclosures by that ambassador, Michael Oren... The incident took place in 2010, when the nObama administration stoked tensions with Israel over its decision to continue building homes in Jerusalem neighborhoods, according to Oren, who recounts the episode in his new memoir, Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide. At the time, the nObama administration was upset Israel had announced the construction of 1,600 new homes for Jewish people in neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. The announcement coincided with a trip to Israel by Vice President loose lips Joe Biden. Keep on building Israel. This government can't tell you want to do.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/obama-admin-cheered-private-scolding-of-israeli-ambassador/

backstabber RINO Boehner 
 nObama's trade agenda might still be doomed  
(Timothy B. Lee) ~ However, it remains far from certain whether TPA will become law. The Senate has also passed a TPA bill, but that bill came with an extension of Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), programs that help workers who lose their jobs due to international competition... For TPA to become law, congressional leaders need to either get the House to pass TAA or get the Senate to pass a TPA bill that doesn't include TAA. The problem is that neither option looks likely to happen. The inclusion of TAA was essential to getting a critical mass of Democrats to support the Senate trade package. But in the House, majorities of both parties oppose the legislation — albeit for opposite reasons. Most Republicans oppose TAA itself, whereas most Democrats voted against TAA as a way to kill the broader trade package.       http://www.vox.com/2015/6/18/8806413/the-house-just-passed-a-trade-bill-but-obamas-trade-agenda-might

 Joyce Mitchell Freed Two Murderers, nObama Regime Over 100  
(rickwells.us) ~ It’s a double standard that the regime won’t even begin to attempt to explain. Joyce Mitchell is under arrest and facing serious jail time for releasing two American murderers... while at the same time the policy of the nObama regime is to release dangerous illegal alien criminals, including murderers, routinely. Lt Col Allen West points to a continuing lack of accountability, noting that nobody has been held responsible for the death of Agent Brian Terry in Eric Holder’s Fast and Furiousgun running scheme. He also points to the 96% failure rate of TSA and asks why it is being virtually ignored.        http://rickwells.us/joyce-mitchell-freed-two-murderers-obama-regime-over-100-allen-west-on-accountability/

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
 Baltimore Mayor Teams Up With Muslim Terror-Linked Group  
(gopthedailydose.com) ~ Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has reportedly teamed up with the terror-linked Islamic Relief USA organization in a bid to populate her city with immigrants and refugees from terrorist-overrun nations like Syria... During her inauguration in December of 2011, Rawlings-Blake announced intentions to grow the city by 10,000 families, and apparently, she planned all along to do so by importing thousands of Muslim families into her community. The problem is that Muslim immigrants from terror-dominated nations tend to struggle with assimilation. Thus they often wind up dependent on the government for welfare benefits like food stamps and housing assistance.       http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/06/18/urgent-baltimore-mayor-teams-up-with-muslim-terror-linked-group-for-shocking-purpose/

Hilly Clinton
 Hilly Quick To Exploit Church Shooting With Racist, Anti-Gun  
(rickwells.us) ~ If the Democrats had asked for an incident that fit into their political playbook they couldn’t have gotten anything more tailor-made for their agenda and talking points than the South Carolina church shooting... What a lucky political break for them it was that the message of white aggression against innocent black people took this “unexpected” turn. After Hussein nObama was first to jump on the anti-guns and racism bandwagon that was pulling away on the street in front of the AME church in Charleston, it was Hilly Clinton’s turn to make political hay out of a tragedy. Ambulance and hearse chasing is never inappropriate for a pandering politician, and letting a perfectly good crisis go to waste is never acceptable. She “sincerely” delivers someone else’s words, describing how “the shock and pain of this crime of hate strikes deep,” noting that nine people, women and men, were cut down at prayer. We can imagine that those in Benghazi were engaged in quite a bit of prayer of their own when they too were cut down, Ms Clinton, but she doesn’t talk about that. There is literally no future in it for her.       http://rickwells.us/hillary-clinton-quick-to-exploit-church-shooting-with-racist-anti-gun-opportunism/

 Shaking Hands with Iran  
(Daniel Mael) ~ As negotiations between the P5+1 countries and Iran continue, human rights concerns under the Iranian regime remain on the periphery... The nObama Administration, over the objections of countless human rights organizations, has made clear that the United States is not seeking to alter the nature of the Iranian regime. Rather, the aim of the direct negotiations is solely to reach an agreeable compromise over the Iran's continued nuclear enrichment. The current nominal deadline for negotiations is June 30. The Islamic Republic of Iran is notoriously the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. Proxy organizations include Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Houthi rebels in Yemen. The regime's support of barbarism is reflected within Iran as well, as Iranian leaders support unspeakable human rights abuses on a daily basis.      http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6000/shaking-hands-with-iran

 'Iran Supporting More than 100 Shiite Terror Groups'  
(clarionproject.org) ~ A recent report in Al Hayat, one of the largest and most-respected pan-Arab dailies, charges that Iran is supporting more than 100 Shiite extremist organizations and militias in Syria and Iraq... The newspaper, which is published in London and funded by Saudi Arabia, says the crimes of these groups are no less horrific than those of the Islamic State. In Iraq, the Iranian-funded armed militias comprised of Persians have capabilities far beyond those of the Iraqi security forces.

 State Dept Memo: 'Our Narrative is Being Trumped by ISIL's'  
(clarionproject.org) ~ An internal U.S. State Department memo, published by The New York Times, has revealed that the U.S. believes the Islamic State is winning the war of ideas and narrative... The memo, written by the under secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs Richard Stengal, criticizes the coalition of countries aligned against the Islamic State for failing to provide a coherent and unified message to counter that of the terror group. The memo reads, “the coalition does not communicate well internally or externally.” It says that the “messaging working group” of the U.S., the U.K. and the U.A.E “has not really come together.” The memo criticizes far more harshly the external message. “When it comes to the external message, our narrative is being trumped by ISIL’s," it states. "We are reactive – we think about ‘counter-narratives’ not ‘our narrative.’"       http://www.clarionproject.org/news/state-dept-memo-our-narrative-being-trumped-isils

 SC State Legislator Blames Church Massacre on Fox News  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ According to J.Todd Rutherford Democratic member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, the horrible man who massacred nine people in a church last night Dylann Roof is not guilty of a crime... Rutherford appeared on "The Lead" with Jake Tapper Thursday afternoon and blamed the shooting on the fact that South Carolina flies the confederate flag by its state house, does not have a hate crimes law, and of course the "coded language" broadcast on Fox News. If one is to follow Rutherford's argument than the psycho who shot up the church should be immediately released, after all it wasn't his fault the blame should be placed on Roger Ailes. This reluctance to place personal responsibility on the people who commit crimes is one of the reasons we have shootings like what happens in Charleston.  The shooting had nothing to do with Fox News and everything to do with the maniac who did the horrible act. Rutherford needs to get a brain and common sense.       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/south-carolina-state-legislator-blames.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2b6d7129c8-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-2b6d7129c8-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-2b6d7129c8-291705165

 nObamaCare:  It’s Still Not Finished. Your Money & Personal at Risk  
(Michael Becker) ~ The most tech savvy administration ever strikes again. Everybody just knew that Barack nObama was a tech hero because he carried a Blackberry around... Turns out it takes a little more than that to be a tech wizard. OK, it takes a lot more. You’d think the nObamaCare roll out would have been the clue, but the left isn’t that bright. Latest on the tech front, the Chinese hacked into the Federal Office of Personnel Management database and surfed around in there for at least year. If you’re a federal employee, and maybe a member of the military or a veteran, the Chinese know more about you than your spouse does. A lot more. And, it turns out that all of your nObamaCare information – your medical histories and all that stuff – is open to any enterprising hacker. We’re shocked.       http://wizbangblog.com/2015/06/18/remember-the-obamacare-website-its-still-not-finished-your-money-personal-info-are-at-risk/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Wizbang+%28Wizban

Is that line supposedly dividing anti-Zionism from

     (jewishworldreview.com) ~ The toxic mix of sports and politics, especially when it came to the treatment of Israel, soured me on the Olympics a long time ago. But even in professional sports where teams are often composed of athletes from around the globe there is no immunity to the virus of hate. While the success of the National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavalier’s first-year coach David Blatt has been cheered by Israelis, supporters of efforts to deprive that nation of its right to self-defense have a different take. Those who can't stand the idea of a proud and patriotic Jew being willing to associate himself with his adopted country are bombarding Blatt with abuse because he served his country and is reportedly on speaking terms with Israel's prime minister. When you consider that NBA players have over the years represented a variety of nations, not all of which everyone loves, without being subjected to political litmus tests, the decision of The Nation to launch a full-scale attack on Blatt for embracing Israeli identity is outrageous. In doing so, the left-wing magazine is demonstrating that the line that supposedly divides anti-Zionism from anti-Semitism is a myth.
.
     Ironically, the New York Times, whose sports pages have often been used by its editors to pursue political causes (the paper bore a great deal of the responsibility for promoting a false and racially-tinged narrative about a rape hoax that led to the Duke Lacrosse team being temporarily disbanded) treated the story about the differing paths to the NBA finals taken by the two coaches both fairly and honestly. The connection between Blatt and Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is that both have ties to the Middle East. Kerr's father Malcolm was president of the American University of Beirut before he was kidnapped and murdered by the Islamic Jihad terror group. Kerr, who speaks Arabic, was born in Lebanon and lived in the Middle East with his family before going back to the United States to play both college and professional basketball. He wanted to hire Blatt as his assistant before the man who led Maccabi Tel Aviv to championships was lured to Cleveland. The juxtaposition of their connections to the region and their nearly being on the same side makes for an interesting sports story.
.
     But The Nation's Dave Zirin considers their backgrounds an excuse for a rehearsal of the left's vicious slanders against Israel and its government. In his reading, Malcolm Kerr is a hero who is rightly honored by the Middle East Studies Association, a blatantly biased academic group that promotes boycotts against both Israel and Israelis. On the other, he considers Blatt reprehensible because he is a Zionist who believes in the right of the Jews to their own country and served in the Israeli Army defending it against Arab terrorists. Even worse in his eyes is that Blatt is reportedly on a first-name basis with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom The Nation blasts as a racist.
.
     Let's leave aside the distortions about Netanyahu as well as the foolishness involved in blaming a celebrity for saying that he knows his country's leader. Zirin's real beef with Blatt isn't the Bibi connection; it's for being a Zionist and saying this about last summer's war with Hamas terrorists:
.
"In my opinion, this war is Israel's most justified war I can remember in recent years. I'm really sorry about what's happening in Gaza, but there's no doubt that we had to act there, so that Israel will have quiet there once and for all."
.
     Blatt was right, but for Zirin this is outrageous because of the number of Palestinian civilian casualties who were being used as human shields by Hamas terrorists. Zirin forgets to include in his account of the fighting the fact that Hamas and its Islamic Jihad allies launched several thousand rockets at Israeli cities and towns and used tunnels dug under the border to facilitate attempts to kidnap and kill Jews.
.
     He contrasts Blatt's Israeli patriotism and belief in his country's people to live without being subjected to constant, deadly terrorism to some quotes from Steve Kerr in which he rightly says not all Arabs or Muslims should be blamed for terrorism before making some less defensible comments about Americans needing to ask why the terrorists hate us.
.
     Kerr grew up in an atmosphere in which such views were mainstream and though I find them worrisome, like almost all sports fans, I'm not any more interested in his politics than I am in Blatt's affiliations. Both should be seen as sports figures, not politicians, and accordingly cheered or jeered on the work of their teams on the court and nothing else.
.
     But, of course, that spirit of fair competition is of no interest to sports columnists like Zirin who, in the grand tradition of Marxist journalism, uses athletics as an excuse to ride political hobbyhorses. But in the case of Blatt and his unabashed Zionism, Zirin goes farther than merely putting a political slant on a feel-good story of an American who found coaching success abroad before coming home to triumph in the NBA. For left-wing anti-Zionists, Blatt needs to be singled out for opprobrium in a way that no other coach or player from a foreign country has ever been because of what he sees as the unique villainy of Israel. No player from China who had his picture taken with his country's tyrants has gotten this kind of treatment. Nor has any other NBA player. Only a Jew who says the Jews deserve a country and ought not to be slaughtered by terrorists must be smeared.
.
     Whatever his sympathies in the Middle East conflict might be, Kerr understands the cost of terrorism on a personal basis. So do all too many Israelis who have suffered as he did as a result of attacks by Islamic Jihad and other Islamist and Palestinian groups. The death of Malcolm Kerr ought to be held as an example of what happens when groups like Hamas are granted impunity by their foreign cheerleaders like Dave Zinn. But what Zirin, who cannot use his Jewish origin as a defense, is doing is judging Israelis and Jews by a different standard than any other people. Though he may admit to anti-Zionism, the more accurate term for his brand of bias is anti-Semitism.

 121 Illegal Immigrants Released by ICE Became Murderers 
Regardless of how Democrat sympathizers see it, illegally crossing the U.S. border is a crime, but that's not preventing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from letting unauthorized immigrants back onto the streets — including some who went on to become murderers. According to The Washington Times, "More than 100 immigrants whom the nObama administration released back into the community went on to be charged with subsequent killings, according to government data released Monday that raises more questions about whether immigration authorities are doing enough to detail illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. ... All told, 121 immigrants who were held but eventually released by ICE went on to commit 'homicide-related offenses' from 2010 through 2014, the agency said." Those are onlyknown offenders, though, meaning the actual figure is probably even more alarming. ICE said in a statement, "When making custody determinations, ICE performs an individualized review of the individual's immigration history and criminal history, pursuant to the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA). In accordance with the requirements of the INA, not all criminals are subject to mandatory detention and thus may be eligible for bond." And, thus, eligible to take other people's lives. America's lax immigration policies aren't just ridiculous; they're proving to be deadly. More...  -The Patriot Post

 ATF Teams Up With NYPD to Deter 'Gun Crimes' 
In what CBS New York describes as the "first-ever anti-gun initiative," federal agencies in collaboration with the NYPD are cracking down on escalating "gun crime" across the City of New York. ATF agent Charles Mulham said, "There's going to be an increase in federal arrests — no doubt." He added, "Of course, when the ATF gets involved ... we'll be able to figure out if [any] weapon is part of an interstate trafficking operation." That's a bold statement coming from an agency that intentionally put weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. And considering New York boasts lower than average crime rates, why aren't they asking why violent behavior is increasing instead of positing this as an "anti-gun" initiative? For the same reason the question is being avoided in cities like Ferguson and Baltimore. As Mark Alexander has pointed out, blaming weapons serves an agenda: "The 'gun violence' rhetoric comports with the errant Leftist assertion that guns are the problem and the Democrats' next gun control measure is the solution. Most assuredly, the epidemic of crime in American urban centers is not a 'gun problem,' but rather a cultural problem." Getting the federal government involved in New York, ostensibly to ward off potential offenders, won't get us any closer to tackling the core problem — especially via an agency embroiled in its own questionable behavior. More...  -The Patriot Post

 Killing Al-Qaida Terrorists Is Good, But... 
The nObama administration continues to play whack-a-mole with terrorists in the Middle East, using American aircraft as the gavel. Over the weekend, al-Qaida in Yemen confirmed that its number two leader, Nasir al-Wahishi, was killed in a U.S. airstrike. This is the biggest blow against the terrorist group since SEAL Team Six drilled Osama bin Laden in his Abbottabad compound. Meanwhile, U.S. planes dropped 500 lb. munitions in Libya, possibly killing Mokhtar Belmokhtar, "the one-eyed sheik" who split from al-Qaida to form his own terrorist outfit. The implications are that we have some decent intelligence. The strikes are good news, but it's not a game changer but rather a place-holder by the administration, which has no coherent or comprehensive policy in the region. nObama's objective is to pass this buck to the next administration. For that reason, GOP candidates better get the history of OIF and OEF right, because, if the next president is a Republican, he is going to have to implement a policy to contain and diminish this metastasizing threat.   -The Patriot Post

 Rubio calls out nObama, sideswipes Rand -  Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in a Time magazine op-ed writes about the dangers of President nObama’s foreign policy agenda, specifically allowing the Patriot Act’s data collection to expire. But his fellow Republicans get a dose too: “Unfortunately, misinformation, fear-mongering and the allure of campaign fundraising all contributed to [the Patriot Act’s data collection] expiration, its explicit prohibition in the future, and its replacement with a weaker and untested system that fails to require phone companies to maintain records that we may one day need to track terrorists. Rather than use what power remains in his bully pulpit, President nObama opted to be a bystander and let this program be killed…As a result, the American people are now less safe.”  -Fox News

 Republicans move to save nObamacare Subsidies  
(breitbart.com) ~ Congressional Republicans will move to temporarily continue health care subsidies for millions of people if the Supreme Court overturns the aid, according to plans discussed in the House and Senate Wednesday... Republicans on both sides of the Capitol met privately to discuss how to respond to the politically explosive ruling that’s expected in the next two weeks and could result in some 7 million people losing subsidies to buy coverage under President Barack nObama’s contested health care law. Under the plan presented by a quartet of committee chairman to House Republicans and described by several lawmakers, subsidies would continue for the remainder of this calendar year.

 Clinton Emails An Open Book To Foreign Intelligence Services  
(rickwells.us) ~ Katherine Herridge reports that not only was the email traffic between Hilly Clinton and Sydney Blumenthal not vetted, and largely providing what was subjective information... but they also included sensitive information relating to international negotiations and events. The security of those transmissions is a point of ongoing contention. Clinton said in her original UN hallway address regarding the issue, “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email.” She didn’t say she didn’t receive any or that other sensitive information which was not marked specifically with the words “classified” was not emailed. Word-parsing is one preferred method for criminals to imply they are being forthright as they obfuscate and deny the truth. Katherine Herridge noted that the emails dealt with a military operation as well as administration strategy. She said, “Current and foreign government officials say that is the most valuable information a foreign intelligence service could steal.”        http://rickwells.us/clinton-emails-an-open-book-to-foreign-intelligence-services-classified-claims-distorted/

 Illegal Amnesty Agitator Demands nObama Enforce The Law - but...  
(rickwells.us) ~ The irony is rich as anarchist union agitator Salvador Salmiento speaks in front of DHS headquarters and calls upon those inside, naming the outlaw management teamindividually, to enforce the law... He says, “On behalf of the National Day Laborer Organizing Networks and folks across the country, we’re here to say that we’ve waited long enough,” and then calls the roll of those who need to be following the law. That would be a great thing if these outlaws would begin to do that, but their job is to circumvent and nullify law, not enforce it. As it turns out, Salmiento doesn’t really want our nation’s laws enforced any more than the criminals within the nObama regime do.        http://rickwells.us/illegal-amnesty-agitator-demands-obama-enforce-the-law-but-not-those-real-laws/

 Charlie Daniels Tell President nObama and it’s EPIC ...  
(Onan Coca) ~ Charlie Daniels recently penned an open letter to President nObama, and you need to read what he has to say...
Dear Mr. President,
This letter is not written in a spirit of hate or disrespect. Nor is it motivated in any way by racial bias. It is written with respect due the office and the awesome tasks that have been laid on your shoulders. I write this letter because I am a taxpaying American citizen who has experienced the American Dream and wants his children and grandchildren to have the same advantages and opportunities that I have had.        http://eaglerising.com/19766/charlie-daniels-has-something-to-tell-president-obama-and-its-epic/

 UAE Port Agreement: More Clinton Pay for Play?  
(Roger Aronoff) ~ Accuracy in Media often asks whether the news media would have covered a story the same way under President George W. Bush as it does under President Barack nObama...  The lease provided to Gulftainer USA, a subsidiary of a United Arab Emirates (UAE) conglomerate called Crescent Enterprises, at the vital national security hub of Port Canaveral, Florida, once again confirms the media double standard. Is this more Clinton shenanigans and conflict of interest? What was nObama’s role, and why are the media ignoring this story? While in 2006 a multiple port purchase with links to a government with ties to terrorists incited controversy and outrage among the media and in Washington, a UAE terminal lease starting this month has been met with a virtual media blackout.

 Counting on Vote Fraud  
(Kenneth Blackwell) ~When two of the nation’s most prominent liberals claim that a political phenomenon does not exist, you know you’ve hit a sore spot... Last week, in a major campaign speech at Texas Southern University, Hilly Clinton dismissed the “phantom epidemic of election fraud.” A couple of days ago, blogger Markos Moulitsas, founder of the Daily Kos website, dismissed voter fraud as a “lie” and a “myth.” “The lady doth protest too much, methinks,” as Shakespeare put it. If you really believe something doesn’t exist, you don’t waste your time denying it. There’s no such thing as an Easter Bunny deniers’ club.        http://www.theacru.org/counting-on-vote-fraud/

 The Fix Is In – nObamatrade Charade Continues As Planned  
(rickwells.us) ~ The fix is in, it’s show time. The House and Senate gyrations to force the appearance of a minimally representative government are in full swing... The corporate fascists in control of this country want total power and they are wresting it away from the American people at this very moment. Our liberty is being stolen by the moneyed interests through corrupt mongrel politicians such as Mitch McCon-nell, backstabber John Boehner and Paul Ryan. They have walked the American people to the slave auction stage, forced us to our knees, and the bidding has begun. It’s beyond insulting to credit the Congressional contortions back and forth as being anything other than what they are; a charade to project legitimacy onto an illegitimate, orchestrated event, the outcome of which has already been pre-determined. backstabber Boehner and his sleaze brigade forced TPA through on Thursday over the wishes of the American people where it was approved 218-208. It now returns to the original scene of the crime, the Senate, in the newly reconfigured form of two separate bills.       http://rickwells.us/the-fix-is-in-the-theatrical-presentation-obamatrade-charade-continues-as-planned/

 Loonies: Muslim terrorists can now sue top US Government officials  
(themuslimissue.wordpress.com) ~ Arabs and Muslims detained in the wake of the 9/11 attacks can sue top officials in George Bush’s administration for civil rights abuses, a court has ruled... The landmark ruling from three Court of Appeals judges on Wednesday came after a collection of former inmates claimed they were illegally singled out for 23-hour-a-day solitary confinement, strip searches, sleep deprivation and other abuses. It follows 10 years of litigation, and will likely ramp up scrutiny on the government’s national security forces. But the ruling has been slammed by another Circuit Judge, Reena Raggi, who claims there is no precedent and the outcome could affect the security of the nation.        https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/loonies-muslim-terrorists-can-now-sue-top-us-government-officials-for-being-detained-court-rules/

Why America Hates 
the GOP-nObamatrade Deal

     (freedomsback.com) ~ Constitutional conservatives don’t like it. Trade unions abhor it. nObama critics hate it. Environmentalists despise it.
.
      Outside the Beltway bubble, a broad coalition of voters from the left, right and center opposes the mega-trade deal getting rammed through Congress this week by the Republican establishment on behalf of the White House. Here’s why.
.
     The nObama administration, House GOP leader backstabber John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell have sold out American sovereignty. Their so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission will have sweeping authority over trade, immigration, environmental, labor and commerce regulations.
.
     As alert watchdogs U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest and U.S. Rep Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., warn: “By adopting fast-track, Congress would be formally authorizing the President to finalize the creation of this Pacific Union and will have surrendered its legislative prerogatives. Before a word, line, paragraph, or page of this plan is made public, Congress will have agreed to give up its treaty powers. … In effect, one of the most sweeping international agreements seen in years will be given less legislative scrutiny and process than a Post Office reform bill.”
.
     The nObama administration, House GOP leader backstabber John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell have sold out legislative transparency. backstabber Boehner smugly asserts that so-called Trade Promotion Authority puts Congress in charge and promotes “more openness” on trade talks. Nonsense. Under the backstabber Boehner/nObama plan, Congress gives up its ability to amend any trade deals under fast track, severely limits the ability to debate and lowers the vote threshold in the Senate from 61 to 51. The 11 international parties negotiating with nObama on TPP refuse to sign their dotted lines until Congress agrees to pre-agree to behemoth global trade pacts — sight unseen.
.
     As nObamatrade cheerleader and Big Business crony Sen. Orrin Hack, I mean Hatch, admitted, “I don’t know fully what’s in TPP myself.”
.
     The secretive wheeling and dealing on the massive 29-chapter draft (kept under classified lock-and-key and only a tiny portion of which have been publicly disclosed through WikiLeaks) make the backroom nObamacare negotiations look like a gigantic solar flare of openness and public deliberation. Fast-track Republicans, who rightfully made a stink when Nancy Pulosi declared that “we have to pass the nObamacare bill so that you can find out what is in it,” now have no transparency legs to stand on.
.
     The nObama administration, House GOP leader backstabber John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell have sold out our immigration priorities. Both parties have put cheap labor from illegal immigrants before American workers. Both parties support massive increases in foreign temporary worker programs that favor cheap tech workers from India and China over highly educated, highly skilled American workers who are forced to train their replacements. Both parties back fraud-plagued green card giveaway programs for wealthy immigrant investors that amount to a crony “economic development” racket. More nObamatrade documents disclosed by WikiLeaks indicate that negotiators have discussed unilateral changes to U.S. worker protections in visa law, processing times and temporary visa expiration dates.
.
     Supporting free enterprise in America does not mean supporting a global free-for-all for every last $2.00/hour entry-level foreign tech journeyman. Past free-trade pacts have failed to live up to their overhyped promises. University of Maryland economist Peter Morici notes that under nObama’s free trade pact with South Korea, imports with that country “are up 3.6 billion” while “U.S. exports are down marginally and the U.S. trade deficit with the Asian nation has swelled to 5 billion.”
.
     Meanwhile, he reports, our wage-suppressing $350 billion bilateral trade deficit with China “costs American workers at least 3 million jobs” and several Asian countries now negotiating TPP “have violated WTO and International Monetary Fund rules by purposefully undervaluing their currencies to subsidize exports and raise prices for otherwise competitive U.S. products in their markets.”
.
     Here is what those of us against the GOP-nObamatrade bills can all agree on: Both political parties in Washington are screwing over our country. American citizens are sick and tired of the permanent ruling class subverting the will of the people in the name of “bipartisanship.” We’ve had enough of Big Business betrayals and Big Government collusion.

 2016 DEM POWER INDEX: FEEL THE BERN! 
While Hilly Clinton channels Elizabeth Warren and cozies up to the base by tweaking President nObama on trade, Bernie Sanders has clamped down hard on the Democratic front runner in a series of sharp attacks. Sanders’ steady barrage – shining a spotlight on Clinton’s vague policy positions and a record that makes the left nervous – has touched a nerve and drawn in large crowds on the trail. Sanders grasp of the megaphone stands in clear contrast to the quiet traverses of early primary states by O’Malley, Webb and Chafee. So Bernie’s earned a bump up to number two in the Democratic index.
          Big draw - Des Moines Register: “Sanders continues his streak of attracting large, loud crowds in Iowa. The audience of mostly professionals and older adults, mixed with some college-age and younger attendees, rewarded him with applause more than 100 times.”
               “I helped lead the effort in the Senate against the Keystone pipeline…Secretary Clinton has been very quiet on this issue. I voted against the war in Iraq…Secretary Clinton voted for the war.  I voted against the USA Patriot Act…Secretary Clinton voted for it.  But I think bottom line is, the American people want leadership to take on the billionaire class, represent the middle class…People will have to judge the secretary's role in that process.” -- Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on CBS ‘Face the Nation”   -Fox News

 Bubba says his wife had to do two jobs -  Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday that Hilly had to get involved in economic diplomacy because there wasn’t a commerce secretary during much of her time as secretary of state. WaPo’s fact check says, “For three out of the four years, there was a Senate-confirmed commerce secretary sitting near Hilly Clinton at Cabinet meetings. Moreover, the secretary of state is supposed to engage in economic diplomacy…But Clinton’s assertion that if not for Hilly Clinton, ‘nobody would have been doing’ economic diplomacy is quite a stretch, given the dominant role of the Treasury Secretary on international economic issues.”
          Hilly laments mean-spiritedness after attack-filled campaign re-launch - At her first Iowa rally after Saturday’s New York re-launch, Clinton talked mean-spiritedness of today’s political dialogue saying, “Did they not go and hear the same lessons I did in Sunday school? Did they not sing the same hymns?” Like the kind of politics in which you use a framing speech to bash your rivals by name? Watch here.

 Clinton falls in the middle on trade -  Fox News: “Hilly Clinton said Sunday the problems that Congress has with President nObama’s trade agenda should be an opportunity for the president to ask fellow Democrats about their concerns with the proposal but still declined to say whether she supports or opposes the legislation. ‘Let’s take the lemons and turn it into lemonade,’ Clinton told about 600 supporters at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, addressing the controversial Trans Pacific Partnership trade proposal…Courting Iowa voters, Clinton sought to address Democratic opponents of the trade legislation, including liberals and labor unions…Clinton appeared to be seeking a middle ground, saying while some support the deal and others vehemently oppose it, ‘I kind of fall in the group that says ‘what's in it?’ And ‘let’s make it as good as it can be, and then let’s make a decision.’”
          “I would hope very much that Secretary Clinton will side with every union in this country, virtually every environmental group, many religious groups, and say that this TPP policy is a disaster, that it must be defeated…” – Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,on CBS “Face the Nation.”

 SHE’S A RASCAL 
WHDH: “A state trooper in Washington went to great lengths to escort an elderly woman home after she got lost while riding her electric scooter. Trooper Dave Hintz said he was surprised to see the woman driving down the highway on her scooter. Other drivers were too, thinking the woman was leading the trooper on a low-speed chase. Hintz said he was simply trying to get her home, not detain her. ‘I just treated her the way I would've wanted somebody to treat my mom,’ said Hintz. He ended up escorting the woman home, letting her drive as fast as the scooter would go, which is 6 miles per hour. After an hour, she made it home…The woman was not ticketed after the incident.”

 China’s stall  
(Derek Scissors) ~ It is often forgotten that changes in economic policy can require years to make an impact. Recalling this is important in understanding China’s economic trajectory... The most common description today is that China is slowing. In fact, it is stagnating. In 1978, China began to grant limited private property rights and to permit limited competition. These steps helped create an economic miracle, among other things lifting 850 million people out of poverty over a generation. But for more than a decade now, the Communist Party has chosen not to move forward on private property rights and competition, instead emphasizing an unprecedented amount of state-directed spending. The result is a severely damaged environment, an unbalanced economy, and a painful debt burden.     http://www.aei.org/publication/chinas-stall/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061815

 Questions that every presidential candidate should answer  
(Katherine Zimmerman) ~ The recent news that US airstrikes may have killed two senior al Qaeda leaders – including al Qaeda’s general manager – once again raises the question of the overall effectiveness of a strategy of attrition against the group... Certainly there have been some significant blows to al Qaeda, and most recently to al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen. The US has taken four senior leaders off the battlefield in Yemen in the past six months, but there has been no obvious slowdown in al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s activities there. Even as the US sees success in degrading al Qaeda’s leadership, al Qaeda has been able to grow and expand its insurgency across the Muslim-majority world. Al Qaeda’s expansion is occurring even as the Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) strengthens at an alarming rate. Both groups are exploiting conditions within the Muslim-majority world advanced in part by America’s current foreign policy positions. A muddled approach to the region has left the US with few strong allies there and even fewer good options for partners against the escalating extremist threat.        http://www.aei.org/publication/5-questions-that-every-president-should-answer-al-qaeda-edition/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061815

 Micro-Totalitarianism  
(Thomas Sowell) ~ The political left has come up with a new buzzword: “micro-aggression.”... Professors at the University of California at Berkeley have been officially warned against saying such things as “America is the land of opportunity.” Why? Because this is considered to be an act of “micro-aggression” against minorities and women. Supposedly it shows that you don’t take their grievances seriously and are therefore guilty of being aggressive toward them, even if only on a micro scale. You might think that this is just another crazy idea from Berkeley. But the same concept appears in a report from the flagship campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana. If you just sit in a room where all the people are white, you are considered to be guilty of “micro-aggression” against people who are not white, who will supposedly feel uncomfortable when they enter such a room.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/thomas-sowell/micro-totalitarianism/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=294e5f8272-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-294e5f8272-156509103

 First Mary Jo Kopechne, Then America  
(Ann Coulter) ~ Sen. Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act allowed the Democrats to start winning elections the same way they win recounts: by enlarging the pool of voters... Liberals couldn’t convince Americans to agree with them, but they happened to notice that the people of most other countries in the world already agreed with them. So Sen. Ted Kennedy’s immigration act brought in millions of poverty-stricken foreigners to live off the American taxpayer and bloc-vote for the Democrats. The American people aren’t changing their minds. Americans are becoming a minority to other, new people. Deft politicians used to know how to convince the 15 percent on the fence. But even Reagan would look at today’s electorate and say: Who are you guys? We live in a different country, and I don’t remember moving.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/ann-coulter/first-mary-jo-kopechne-then-america/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=294e5f8272-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-294e5f8272-156509103

 Theft By Deception: The Immigration Con Game  
(Michael Cutler) ~ A pattern of criminality has been in progress for decades with more Americans falling victim to this crime each day... The crime is “theft by deception.” Because of this, millions of Americans are losing their thin sliver of the American Dream, their security and their peace of mind. Today politicians from both political parties, echoing the claims of many special interest groups that provide massive campaign contributions, use deceptive language to achieve their (criminal) goals. As you will see, the claims they make about immigration are without merit and are deceptive and seek to satisfy their campaign contributors. The perpetrators are our elected politicians from both the “Repugnantcan” and “Demoncrat” parties.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/michael-cutler/theft-by-deception-the-immigration-con-game/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=294e5f8272-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-294e5f8272-156509103

 Hilly Wants to Fundamentally Transform American Elections  
(J. Christian Adams) ~ Hilly Clinton has given Republicans a taste of what is to come. In recent days, she has delivered two speeches laying out an architecture that Democrats will use to retain the White House in 2016. Republicans better pay close attention... Hilly jettisoned Bill’s triangulation from the 1990’s and aligned with the radical racialist muscle that now dominates the Democrat party of 2015. In Houston, she tried to scare racial minorities by conjuring the ghost of Jim Crow. On Welfare Island in New York City, she launched a cultural crusade to pit racial and sexual interest groups against mainstream America. Hilly is banking on Republicans responding to these attacks the same way they have in the past: shock, then shame, followed by capitulation. Clinton isn’t alone among the candidates in this approach. She is merely borrowing the rhetoric and tactics which will be employed by whoever the Democrats nominate. Indeed, the Democrats will nominate whichever candidate employs these tactics the best. Martin O’Malley and Elizabeth Warren will certainly match Hilly’s leftward lurch, without the burden of Hillary’s baggage. Let’s hope Republicans understand Hillary’s architecture and learn how to neutralize it.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/j-christian-adams/hillary-wants-to-fundamentally-transform-american-elections/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=294e5f8272-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-294e5f8272-156509103

(Paul Schnee) ~ Students of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) are speaking out against the Jewish Federation and Family Services of Orange County and its history of intimidation of pro-Israel students... Several students have recently come forward to share the challenges they have faced from the organization, including an incident in which a Federation official “blamed” a Jewish student who was assaulted by anti-Israel protesters and objected to her calling the police. In general, students report extreme frustration with ongoing hostility from the Federation, and in light of recent controversy involving the organization head’s public abuse of a pro-Israel student, they have chosen to tell their stories. The pro-Israel UCI organization Anteaters for Israel (AFI), instead of being encouraged and supported by the Federation and its local Hillel, have not only become the focus of the Federation’s ire, but also the victims of its appeasement of demonstrably Jew-hating groups such as the Muslim Student Union (MSU) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). It is no surprise, therefore, that at least three members of AFI, Sharon Shaoulian, Jackie A. and Emily P.*, have become increasingly alarmed and concerned about the Jew-hatred on UCI’s campus and what appears to be the unimpeded growth of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement there.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/paul-schnee/the-betrayal-of-the-jews/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=294e5f8272-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-294e5f8272-156509103

 Don’t Fix nObamacare  
(Mike Needham) ~ Many Republicans are watching ongoing developments in the King v. Burwell nObamacare case with trepidation. In the abstract, most recognize the opportunity such a case represents to roll back nObamacare and force a debate about real, pro-market insurance reform... But as the decision looms, many now have second thoughts, convinced that the country will blame them for disruption in the ruling’s wake and that eventually, the only politically tolerable option will be to cave and restore the nObamacare subsidies eliminated by the Supreme Court. That assumption is wrong, and Republicans will do more harm than good for their cause if they act on it. According to a new poll conducted by the American Perceptions Initiative at The Heritage Foundation, the fear that Republicans, not Democrats, will take the blame for any disruption caused by the ruling appears to be unfounded. Only 36 percent of Americans will blame congressional Republicans, with 58 percent of the blame split between President nObama and congressional Democrats.       http://dailysignal.com/2015/06/17/dont-fix-obamacare/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=morningbell&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRoguKTLZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvr

 GOP Congress Conspiring With nObama To Pass nObamaTrade  
(redstate.com) ~ Establishment Republicans are not listening to the American people. Despite a broad coalition of conservatives and liberals standing firmly in opposition, Republicans in Congress are, once again, conspiring with Barack nObama to pass nObamaTrade on Thursday, according to the Associated Press... In addition to harming U.S. sovereignty, the GOP move comes despite a report that raises the question whether the Trans-Pacific Partnership (dubbed by unions to be “NAFTA on steroids”) may cost up to one million more manufacturing jobs. Unfortunately, last week’s grassroots victory in defeating nObamaTrade was only temporary as nObama and his co-conspirators Rep. backstabber John Boehner (R-OH) and Sen. Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY) work on passing the measure tomorrow - Thursday.       http://www.redstate.com/2015/06/17/update-gop-congress-conspiring-obama-pass-obamatrade-thursday/

 Europe's Intolerable "Tolerance"  
(Samuel Westrop) ~ Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has accepted an invitation to become chairman of the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation (ECTR)... The ECTR boasts an advisory board comprising a dozen European presidents and prime ministers. It describes itself as a non-governmental body that "fosters understanding and tolerance among peoples of various ethnic origin; educates on techniques of reconciliation; facilitates post-conflict social apprehensions; monitors chauvinistic behaviours, proposes protolerance initiatives and legal solutions." Behind all this jargon, Blair and the ECTR claim to promote religious belief and dialogue as a means to challenge hate speech and extremism.   http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5990/europe-tolerance

Scandals Galore
.
Burt_Header_M2.jpg
.
     (burtprelutsky.com) ~ Every time you turn around these days, there’s a new Clintonian scandal in the news. Among conservatives, the scandals raise hackles, while among liberals, they don’t even result in a raised eyebrow.
.
     It’s unfortunate that liberals only care what you say, not what you do, but, unfortunately, that’s the only way it can work with that crowd. Once you sign on to be a Democrat, the contract demands that you never dare question why, for instance, Barack nObama has kept all of his documents under lock and key or why Bill Clinton has never served time for sexual assault, accepting bribes or fudging on his income taxes.
.
     So long as politicians on the Left utter the customary pieties about urban blacks, illegal aliens, Muslims, public schools, homosexuals, unions and single women, while blaspheming religious people, corporations, gun owners and conservatives, they will continue to hold their own in national elections.
.
     ♦ Speaking of the 2016 election, I honestly believe that American society in general has been in decline for so many years and on so many fronts that there will never be a return to anything close to what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
.
     We can still elect some people who will slow the descent, but only slightly. Once you have made tens of millions of people dependent on welfare in all its insidious forms, it’s impossible to wean them away from the government teat.
.
     All in all, America has had a damn good run. It should have lasted longer, but in the end even the likes of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Adams, couldn’t save us from ourselves. 
.
     ♦ It was those Founders who represented our greatest generation. The over-hyped “Greatest Generation,” the one that had to deal with the Depression of the 30s and World War II, ran a very distant second. Let us not forget that they gave us what was, until then, the Worst Generation, the one that came to prominence in the 1960s, fully displaying the ignorance and arrogance of youth through drugs, sexual promiscuity and political nihilism. They in turn set about begetting the stupid, greedy, selfish ignoramuses, whose proudest achievements to date were twice electing Barack nObama to lead the nation and turning an intentionally blind eye to the numerous crimes and sins of Hilly Clinton.
.
     ♦ A few readers let me know that in spite of my assurances to the contrary, they were certain nObama would declare martial law next year, preventing the presidential election from taking place. In response, after reminding them that the military would not stand idly by and allow it to happen, I pointed out that nObama has kicked a lot of cans down the road for the next guy-- particularly when it comes to foreign affairs involving the Middle East, North Africa, Russia, China and North Korea – and he has no intention of being that guy.
.
     The real danger confronting America isn’t four or even 40 more years of nObama, but the fact that the same folks who elected him twice will still be around and still voting.
.
     ♦ Another reader wanted to know how killing terrorists who wish to be suicide bombers dissuades them. I told him that dissuasion shouldn’t be our concern; killing them should be.
.
     ♦ On a related subject, I find it depressing that we are neglecting to bomb ISIS strongholds because we’re afraid of killing innocent Muslims. One, I don’t believe there are very many of those. To me, be they Sunni or Shia, it’s a difference without a distinction. Besides, how is being bombed by us worse than being beheaded, burned or crucified, by ISIS?
.
     ♦ A friend who attended a recent high school graduation in Burbank, CA, came home with a program, on the back of which was printed a message. It read: “The Burbank Unified School District is committed to equal opportunity for all individuals in education. District programs and activities shall be free from discrimination based on disability, gender, gender identification, gender expression, genetic information, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics.”
.
     I let her know that I, personally, as a proud thin-skinned American, was offended that there was no mention of height, weight or hair color. And I suppose the fact that it was excluded from the list, means that in Burbank it is still open season on left-handed people.
.
     It is this widespread attempt by liberals to portray virtually everyone in America as a victim that has led Fox’s Megyn Kelly to start referring to members of these coddled groups as” cupcakes.” My own pet term is “cow pies.”
.
     ♦ In the ongoing brouhaha over the NSA, I recalled that a former English Prime Minister, William Pitt, once said, “Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”
.
     If Rand Paul were more eloquent than the typical U.S. senator, he might have uttered such stirring words during his latest filibuster. However, there is nothing about collecting phone numbers and noting the length of calls that infringes even slightly on anyone’s freedoms. Otherwise, the phone company would be unable to send anyone a monthly bill.
.
     After declaring that his fellow Republicans are to blame for ISIS, I half expected Hilly Clinton to announce that Sen. Paul would be her running mate. And if she happened to be south of the Mason-Dixon line at the time, we could expect her to introduce him to y’all as her honey child, as she continues to conduct her long-running audition for the role of Queenie in “Show Boat.”
.
     ♦ In other news, 14 defendants, including nine current and former officials, four marketing executives and an intermediary, have been indicted in a scandal involving FIFA (the Federation Internationale de Football Association).
.
     “Football” being what such Third World nations as Spain, France and Brazil, call soccer, the scandal has a great deal of the uncivilized world aghast. To me, the only surprise is that the intermediary hasn’t yet been identified as Bill Clinton.
.
     Nobody should ever be shocked when a small group of people who are granted absolute authority to determine which cities get to host major events such as the World Cup, the Olympic Games or political conventions, allow bribes to sway their judgment. Frankly, they’d have to be jabbering idiots to base the selection process on anything but the size of the payoff. It sure makes more sense than the alternative, which consists of flipping a coin

 RUBIO NICKS WALKER, PERRY UP, KASICH KRUMBLES 
Scott Walker still has the clear advantage in polling, but give Marco Rubio the edge this week for the political jujitsu move of the month. Rubio made the most of an error in a NYT piece pummeling him for dicey financial moves as a younger man – that described his fishing boat as a “luxury speed boat.”
          Now, an $80,000 pleasure boat is not exactly a cocker spaniel, but Rubio’s jack hammering of the Times has a bit of Richard Nixon’s “Checkers” speech to it. Reporters who want to take issue with Rubio’s finances will have to make it about way more than watercraft from here on in. That no doubt helped Rubio as he was auditioning for Romney’s money men in Utah at Camp Mitt this weekend. These are people who spend $80,000 on boat storage, not boats.
          The only other candidate or crypto-candidate who right now meets the credibility threshold to beat Bush would be Ohio Gov. John Kasich. But with Kasich’s choice of a campaign team that specializes in double-dog-daring primary voters to back their candidates, he seems unlikely to seek broad-based appeal. Kasich seems instead to be picking a trajectory in which he and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will be battling coffee-shop-by-coffee-shop for a Huntsmanian third-place finish in New Hampshire.
          Rick Perry, despite having the worst-ever campaign song in the history of recorded music, is showing that in addition to a new found humility he is also packing a superior campaign organization this time around. Perry’s focus on the military and foreign policy will also serve him well on the trail.  -Fox News

 Walker budget deadline looms with razor thin margin -  Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: “Gov. Scott Walker’s budget hangs by a gossamer thread in the GOP-controlled state Senate, where ‘no’ votes from just three lawmakers within his own party would be enough to derail his spending plan. Already, two conservative Republican senators have made clear they will be extremely difficult — perhaps impossible…to win over without knocking moderate senators from their party out of the yes column in the process.”  -Fox News

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE 
Next time you categorize something as a failure don’t be so quick to write it off. Sometimes it just takes a couple of centuries…The Magna Carta, arguably one of the most important documents in history, was very nearly lost to history. In 1215,King John needed a means to regain support after many of the barons rebelled against him, and he faced a growing threat of invasion from France. To ensure support at home the king drafted a charter called the Magna Carta, a peace treaty protecting barons from monarchical abuse, in addition to other rights listed. Within a month, King John broke the treaty, however, and the Magna Carta was considered a failure. But in 1642 when civil war broke out in England, Chief Justice Sir Edward Corke used the document as proof of limiting monarchy power, leading to his dismissal from the bench and charges of treason. Leap ahead another 100 years or so and the Magna Carta was once again used in the American Revolutionary War.

 House Resolution introduced condemning academic boycott of Israel  
(William A. Jacovbson) ~ No university in the U.S. is considering a boycott, as far as I know, and in many ways ties are expanding. The American Studies Association and a handful of much smaller faculty professional organizations have adopted the boycott... but even ASA had to back down from its key provision excluding most Israeli academics from its annual meeting. There have been, and undoubtedly will be more, attempts to get larger faculty organizations to adopt the boycott, but so far that has not happened. There are complaints from some Israelis also of an undeclared boycott of them personally in the humanities, with some American professors refusing to interact. But beyond the actual results, there is no doubt that the academic boycott movement is a malicious attack not just on Israel, but also on our entire academic system. It is led by some of the most outrageous campus characters, the rhetoric often is abusive, and the environmenthostile and threatening.        http://legalinsurrection.com/2015/06/house-resolution-introduced-condemning-academic-boycott-of-israel/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

Boston Public Library branches will establish “Citizenship Corners” to ensure easy access to citizenship preparation materials, and USCIS will provide training about the naturalization process to librarians and city officials, so they can help immigrants in search of information.

 hanoi John Kerry Announces Another Nuclear Concession To Iran  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ One of the key demands the U.S and the P5+ partners made of Iran is that the rogue nation come clean about all the elements of their nuclear program prior to the agreement.  On Tuesday Secretary of State hanoi Kerry walked away from that requirement... The reason that demand is important is the international community cannot confirm that Iran has halted its pursuit of nuclear weapons unless Tehran comes clean on all past and continuing nuclear weapons-related activities. Iran agreed in November 2013 to resolve with the IAEA a list of possible military-related nuclear activities in 12 areas. As of June 2015, Iran has only resolved questions in one of these areas and has claimed the other areas are based on forgeries and fabrications. A real deal with Iran requires answers to those questions to establish a baseline for verification. The United States cab not agree to a nuclear deal with Iran unless the baseline issue is resolved  satisfactorily.        http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/john-kerry-announces-another-nuclear.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=01818ff2f5-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-01818ff2f5-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-01818ff2f5-291705165

 Britain: Bid to Crack Down on Islamic Extremism Faces Resistance  
(Soeren Kern) ~ Britain is facing an "unprecedented" threat from hundreds of battle-hardened jihadists who have been trained in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, according to MI5, the domestic counter-intelligence and security agency... It warns that are now more Britons trained in terrorism than at any point in recent memory. More than 700 Britons are believed to have travelled to Syria and Iraq, according to British authorities. Over half of these Britons are thought to have since returned home, where they pose a significant threat to national security. Britain's terrorism threat alert is at the second-highest level of "severe," meaning an attack is "highly likely."        http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5989/britain-counter-extremism

 Would-Be Islamic State Terrorist Charged in New York  
(investigativeproject.org) ~ A 20-year-old Queens, N.Y. man is charged with planning an attack in the name of the Islamic State terrorist group (ISIS)... Munther Omar Saleh was arrested on Saturdaywith two others after charging a police cruiser. One of his co-conspirators had a knife in the waistband of his pants. Investigators believe Saleh was trying to make a bomb to blow up somewhere in New York in ISIS' name. When the FBI had a confidential source pose as a radical Islamist and reach out to him, Saleh wrote that he was "in NY and trying to do an Op." He quickly cut off contact with the FBI source, saying he was ordered by ISIS to do so. Saleh first appeared on law enforcement radar in March after a Port Authority officer saw him walking across the George Washington Bridge with a lantern. Saleh asked the officer for a ride across the bridge; the officer refused and directed him toward a bus depot on the New Jersey side of the bridge. The same officer saw Saleh on the bridge the next day. The officer escorted Saleh to the New Jersey Port Authority office, where he was questioned and denied any familiarity with ISIS.        http://www.investigativeproject.org/4885/would-be-islamic-state-terrorist-charged-in-new

 Liberals Make Big Comeback in 2015, Poll Analysis Finds  
(Janet Hook) ~ There are signs that liberals are making a comeback — and not just because a socialist is running for president, gay marriage is spreading like wildfire and pot legalization is gaining acceptance... A new analysis of Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll data finds a marked  increase in the share of registered voters identifying themselves as liberals, and an even bigger drop in the share saying they are conservatives. In three national polls conducted so far in 2015, the analysis found that 26% of registered voters identified themselves as liberals — up from 23% in 2014. At the same time, the share of voters identifying as conservatives dropped to 33% from 37% in 2014.        http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2015/06/07/liberals-make-big-comeback-in-2015-poll-analysis-finds/?utm_source=newsletters&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=JVL+06_17_2015

Cohen, Jr., Andrew G. McCabe, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and Thomas Jankowski, Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. Rodgers was found guilty in March 2015, by a jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, of first-degree fraud. The Honorable Senior Judge John D.

 Imported Muslims arriving now in these U.S. cities  
(Leo Hohmann) ~ A few congressmen are fighting to block the planned importation of thousands of Syrian refugees into American cities and towns, arguing that they present a grave security risk because many Syrians have ties to the Sunni rebel groups ISIS and al-Nusra Front... But the fact is, as President nObama ignores the concerns of U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and others on the House Homeland Security Committee, the Syrians have already started to arrive stateside. Since January, more than 70 U.S. cities have been on the receiving end of a Syrian visitation.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/syrian-muslims-arriving-now-in-these-u-s-cities/

A Vote for Trade Promotion Authority
Is Not a Vote for nObama
George Will
.
     (nationalreview.com) ~ Before presidential politics — the game of getting to 270 electoral votes — completely eclipses governing, there is the urgent task of getting to 217 votes in the House of Representatives to pass Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). This would guarantee a vote without amendments on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. Without TPA, any trade agreement will be nibbled to death in Congress by persons eager to do organized labor’s bidding. So, Republicans who oppose TPA are collaborating with those who oppose increasing the velocity and rationality of economic life.
.
     TPA touches two challenging problems: one economic, one constitutional. Regarding both, conservatives have special responsibilities.

     The economic challenge is to generate economic growth sufficient to restore vigor and upward mobility to an underemployed America, sustaining national security and entitlements as, every day, another 10,000 baby boomers become eligible for Social Security and Medicare. The constitutional problem is how to restore institutional equilibrium by bringing the presidency back within the restraints the Founders devised with the separation of powers. 
.
     Only conservatives can turn economic policy away from the self-defeating aim of redistribution, and toward growth. This goal would be advanced by the trade agreement among the twelve nations who together account for 37 percent of the world’s GDP and one-third of world trade. Defeating TPA, and thus the agreement, is a service most House Democrats will perform for a reactionary faction, organized labor. Defeat would, however, make economic dynamism even more elusive, punishing the nation without meaningfully disciplining the president. 
.
     This vote comes in the turgid wake of a first quarter in which the economy shrank 0.7 percent — the third quarterly contraction during the anemic recovery that is slouching into its seventh year. The aging recovery began in June 2009; another recession may arrive without there having been a real recovery from the previous one. For Democrats devoted to policies of redistribution, economic growth is an afterthought. Only Republicans can make possible the freer trade that can combat the lingering stagnation that is Barack nObama’s painful legacy. 
.
     This month, Republicans can extinguish the Export-Import Bank, a deplorable instrument for government intervention in economic transactions, simply by not reauthorizing it. How perverse it would be to do so while also opposing TPA and (hence, in effect) freer trade, which would make economic activity less subject to distortions by governments.
.
     In the 19th century, Republicans embraced a braided duet of vices — big government and crony capitalism. Adept at using tariffs to purchase the loyalty of particular constituencies, Republicans opposed free trade. Twenty-first century Democrats generally want government rather than markets to regulate commerce and allocate opportunity, so they recoil from any enlargement of the sphere of economic freedom. The fact that TPA would make possible the ratification of an agreement that is an imperfect enlargement is no reason for Republicans to help Democrats protect the power of governments to further politicize economic life. 
.
 
     Some Republicans are understandably reluctant to give any satisfaction to nObama, who disdains them as much as he does constitutional limits on presidential power. But a stopped clock is right twice a day and he rightly favors freer trade. 
.
 
     Some Republicans resist granting fast-track authority, a traditional presidential prerogative, to a president who has so arrogantly disregarded limits on executive discretion. It is, however, unnecessary to defeat fast-track authority (thereby defeating freer trade) in order to restrain this rogue president. The 22nd Amendment guarantees his departure in 19 months. His lawlessness has prompted congressional resistance on multiplying fronts. The judiciary, too, has repeatedly rebuked him for illegal executive overreaches. So, it is neither necessary nor statesmanlike to injure the nation’s future in order to protest nObama’s past. 
.
 
     Representative Paul Ryan campaigned hard to prevent a second nObama term, but he strongly favors TPA. He notes that if nObama’s negotiations about Iran’s nuclear program were being conducted under guarantees of congressional involvement similar to those contained in TPA, Congress would enjoy statutorily required briefings on the negotiations and access to the negotiating documents. Furthermore, any agreement with Iran would have to be made public for examination at least 60 days before nObama signed it, after which the agreement could not take effect unless Congress approves it.
.
 
     nObama has all the friends in Congress he has earned and deserves, so even among Democrats this cohort is vanishingly small. By passing TPA, House Republicans can achieve a fine trifecta, demonstrating their ability to rise above their justifiable resentments, underscoring his dependence on them and on Congress, and illustrating his party’s dependence on factions inimical to economic vitality.

 House Democrats Doom nObama's Trade Deal 
In a vote that served a smackdown on nObama's trade deal with Pacific countries, House Democrats voted against a provision that was supposed to sweeten the legislation allowing nObama the authority to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The Senate had sent two measures to the House: Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was the legislation that gave the chief executive authority to negotiate this trade deal, and Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), a Democrat priority, was legislation that — as the leftists viewed it — protected American workers (read: unions) when the economy experienced freer global trade. On Friday, the House overwhelmingly rejected TAA in a 302-126 vote and narrowly passed TPA 219-211. Both chambers need to agree on the legislation before it heads to nObama's desk. So TPA will head back to the Senate where it may or may not pass; the bill's on life support.
          This comes as nObama lobbied hard for the measure to pass. He showed up at the congressional baseball game to personally lobby lawmakers. He even made his way to Capitol Hill to talk to Democrats — the first time in two years. It was personal, it was desperate and, ouch, Pulosi and Co. betrayed him. "Basically, the president tried to both guilt people and then impugned their integrity, and I don't think it was a very effective tactic," said Democrat Rep. Peter Defazio (D-OR). Both parties are split in Congress over the issue. But those who love Liberty should appreciate that we have more time to debate a trade deal.  -The Patriot Post

 China's Theft of Federal Employee Data Demands a Response 
Not only has China scraped up the data from all federal employees past and present, the Office of Personnel Management said it had "a high degree of confidence" that the country has every SF-86 form submitted by any American seeking a security clearance. Former general council to the NSA and former National Counter terrorism Center head Matthew Olsen said the data could be used many different ways by the oppressive Chinese regime, "whether it's [to] blackmail, to recruit, [or] to punish individuals in China who are connected to people in the United States." As it's been said before, China has been creating a massive database on American citizens, and it has also hacked into the databases of health insurance companies in the past to gather data. Furthermore, anonymous sources are saying the data theft of federal employees didn't just affect four million people. Instead, the breach could affect as many as 14 million Americans. In response to impeding U.S. intelligence efforts, cataloging Americans like merchandise and sitting poised to wreak further havoc on our country, let's hope the U.S. is also matching China's data collection efforts. In this game of espionage, let's make it so China also cannot keep secrets. More...

 June Deadline for 'Islamic Bomb' 
As yet another supposed "deadline" approaches for a final agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, the sheer determination of Barack nObama to get any deal he can before he leaves office — literally any deal — becomes more and more the driving force behind our negotiating position.
          Having once said "We cannot allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon; it would be a game-changer in the region" and claiming "I will always keep the threat of military action on the table," nObama is now willing to ignore Iranian nuclear violations, ignore Iran's willful violation of UN Security Council resolutions, ignore Iran's role in the Syrian war, ignore Iran's continued arming and equipping of Hezbollah, ignore Iran's defacto control of Iraq, ignore the mortal threat a nuclear Iran would pose to Israel, and ignore the history of the current Iranian regime, all in the hope of getting something on paper with which to declare his foreign policy legacy.
          The most recent interim agreement openly ceded to Iran everything it needs to produce nuclear weapons if it will only refrain from open mischief for ten years. Ten years is a blink of an eye to a nation. Consider that just slightly more than ten years ago a previously little-known Illinois senator was delivering the keynote address at the Democrat National Convention in Boston, or that nearly 25 years have passed since the first Gulf War.
          With a sense of its own history stretching back nearly 6,000 years, Iran understands how quickly ten years will pass, at which time it can begin industrial-scale enrichment without penalty. Ten years will also produce advances in Iran's ballistic missile program, another subject once linked to the nuclear program but now tossed aside by the White House.  -The Patriot Post

 It’s REALLY more like ‘Jeb?’ Than ‘Jeb!’ 
The biggest disadvantage that Jeb Bush has isn’t his last name, but rather the relative quality of the Republican field he is facing.
          That’s not to say that being George W. Bush’s little brother is an unalloyed positive for the former Florida governor. But as polls have shown, it is (no surprise) less of a problem for GOP primary voters than with the general electorate. Plus, Dubya is mellowing in the cask of public opinion, especially as President nObama flails about over Iraq.
          The younger Bush obviously understands the liabilities involved with his family name and the basic American resistance to dynasties. Otherwise, he wouldn’t pick a logo that emphasizes a nickname that sounds as if it were ringing across the tennis courts at Andover.
          But don’t let them kid you. If you wanted to be president and could choose whether to be the son and brother of presidents or be the son of a small-town preacher or a Miami bartender, you know what you’d pick. Bush was born on third base; everybody else had to hit a triple.
          But still, as he launches his official candidacy, Bush is struggling to assert his dominance. Bush is probably a better establishment-backed candidate than either of the two after his brother, and both John McCain and Mitt Romney won by comfortable margins. Yet, this time seems different.
          Part of it is technique. While Hilly Clinton has lowered the bar dramatically for forthrightness, accountability and probity, Bush’s decision to invoke his Right to Raise unlimited sums for six months before actually declaring hasn’t exactly set him up to run as the tribune of the people.
          But the biggest part is that Bush is facing serious competition. In 2008, Romney had to keep other viable establishmentarians out of the field, particularly then-Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. Once the field was set, Romney had only one real threat: then Texas Gov. Rick Perry. But Perry was a bust. Everything after was just delaying the inevitable.
          This time, Bush has at least two rivals in Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., whose talents and positions make them real alternatives. Remember, the way the previous two candidates put away the nomination: Mainstream Republicans blanched at the thought of nominating candidates seen, fairly or not, as one-dimensional, social issue grinds.
          Neither Walker nor Rubio is that kind of candidate. If either makes it into the home stretch with Bush, the surge is more likely to come for the underdog rather than the current frontrunner. Unless Walker and Rubio succeed in destroying each other and leaving the way open for a riskier pick, Bush will not have the advantage of declaring his final foe electorally toxic.
          Jeb Bush is a better candidate in many ways than Romney or McCain were. But unfortunately for him, his chief rivals are furlongs ahead of the 2008 and 2012 pack.  -Fox News

 Is Israel Alone?  
(Michael Doran, Elliott Abrams & Charles Krauthammer) ~ The last years have strained the relationship between the United States and the State of Israel. The two nations have serious policy disagreements and the nation’s leaders deeply distrust one another... Is this a true crisis? Is the America-Israel relationship fundamentally changing? Is Israel alone in an increasingly dangerous Middle East? Israelis and American friends of Israel hope that ties of popular affinity, military cooperation, intelligence sharing, and strategic alliance against radical Islamism and terror bind the two states together. For the moment, both of America’s major political parties pledge to stand behind Israel at the United Nations and on the battlefield. Practically all Israelis across the political spectrum believe that strong ties with the United States are important to the survival of the Jewish State. Judging by these lights, at least, one might think that we are going through a bad patch—as Israel has with previous American administrations of both political parties.       http://tikvahfund.org/advanced-institutes/is-israel-alone-the-past-present-and-future-of-the-u-s-israel-relationship/?utm_source=Mosaic+Newsletter&utm_campaign=5caa8050f0-Tikvah_Institutes_Fall_20156_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b0517b2ab-5caa8050f0-42459765

 God, Politics, and the Future of Europe  
(George Weigel) ~ Europe—for so long the political, cultural, and military center of the world—is in crisis... Various European countries are in the grips of economic calamity, reflecting a mix of unwise policies and cultural exhaustion. Demographic decline is weakening the entire continent. In many European capitals, Islamic radicalism—including violent crime and outright terror—is on the rise, and the return of anti-Semitism is raising questions about Europe’s dark past, and leaving many Jews to wonder whether they need to exit en masse for their own safety and dignity. From Dublin to Athens, from Lisbon to Warsaw, religious observance is down or non-existent, and the spirit of nihilism pervades the land. The problems in Europe seem only more remarkable in light of the European faith in its own post-national experiment—the belief that the centralized administration of the continent would create a new, pacified, welfare-state model for all. But this dream now likes more like the beginnings of a new nightmare.        http://tikvahfund.org/advanced-institutes/god-politics-and-the-future-of-europe/?utm_source=Mosaic+Newsletter&utm_campaign=5caa8050f0-Tikvah_Institutes_Fall_20156_16_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b0517b2ab-5caa8050f0-42459765

 Why the Liberals Can’t Get It  
(Dr. Michael Ledeen) ~ I am a big fan of John Hinderaker over at Powerline, and you can see why if you read one of his latest, this one about the Democrats’ lack of any sort of coherent national security policy. Here is the essence of it... Democrats are incapable of devising a coherent strategy for dealing with (our problems), and seemingly don’t even try to do so. The charitable explanation is that they are incompetent. But perhaps it is because they aren’t sure what their desired ends are. Do they want the U.S. to win? Do they want us to be powerful, prosperous, influential and successful? That is not a hard question for most Americans, but it is for leading Democrats like nObama and Clinton. If you don’t know the answer to that question, then coming up with a strategy is tough. That, I suspect, is what we have seen for the last six or seven years. It’s the basic question about the nObama administration (Hinderaker however is focused on Hilly Clinton and her failed Libyan actions): is the long list of foreign policy failures due to stupidity and incompetence, or to some sort of purposeful malevolence?       http://www.aim.org/guest-column/why-the-liberals-cant-get-it/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061615&utm_medium=email

 nObama Prepares More ‘Executive Actions’ On Global Warming  
(Michael Bastasch) ~ President Barack nObama is preparing to unleash a series of “executive actions” aimed at boosting the green energy industry as part of the president’s global warming agenda... nObama is launching a “Clean Energy Impact Investment Center” at the Energy Department to “make information about energy and climate programs … accessible and more understandable to the public, including to mission-driven investors.” The White House is also ordering the IRS to come out with guidance and rules to get nonprofits to invest in green energy technologies, along with creating more government financing options for small businesses looking to go green.        http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/16/obama-prepares-more-executive-actions-on-global-warming/

 Illegals Who Kill and the President That Loves Them   
(ixthisnation.com) ~ According to President nObama and the Democrats, we have nothing to fear from illegal immigrants. Many support turning off our immigration laws altogether and throwing the border wide open... Let any Mexican or South American who wants a home in America to simply ride into the country for a swift path to citizenship. But a new case has shed light on a deportation system that is failing to keep American citizens safe from the bad guys. Government data released Monday shows that 121 illegals who were released back into the community went on to commit “homicide-related” crimes. This data has indicated to many critics that we are not doing enough to pursue deportation for these illegals. The case brings to light the problems regarding the deportation of illegals. Under a 2001 Supreme Court ruling, illegals can only be detained for six months. This puts the administration in a tough spot, especially when the home country will not have the immigrant back. But experts say the majority of these cases have more to do with ICE’s discretionary policies than they do strict time limits on detention.        http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/illegals-who-kill-and-the-president-that-loves-them/

 Feds Can’t Verify $2.8 Billion in nObamacare Subsidies  
(Elizabeth Harrington) ~ The federal government cannot verify nearly $3 billion in subsidies distributed through nObamacare, putting significant taxpayer funding “at risk,” according to a new audit report... The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) released an audit Tuesday finding that the agency did not have an internal system to ensure that subsidies went to the right enrollees, or in the correct amounts. “The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CMS’s internal controls did not effectively ensure the accuracy of nearly $2.8 billion in aggregate financial assistance payments made to insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act during the first four months that these payments were made,” the OIG said. “CMS’s system of internal controls could not ensure that CMS made correct financial assistance payments,” they said. This smells fishy to me.        http://freebeacon.com/issues/feds-cant-verify-2-8-billion-in-obamacare-subsidies/

 Face Reality: Many Muslims Support ISIS  
(Tarek Fatah) ~ In the last week of May, the Qatar-based Arabic news network Al-Jazeera polled its Arabic-language audience on the question... "Do you support the victories of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in your region?" The results were shocking. Of the 56,881 Arabic-speaking respondents, a whopping 81% voted yes. The results of this online survey may not be scientific. But they do provide anecdotal evidence of what many see as a rise in the support of Islamism in the Arab Middle East, among Muslims in the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent, and in the diaspora in Britain and France. On Monday, a 17-year-old Briton became that country's youngest suicide bomber after he blew up a brand new SUV packed with explosives in the northern Iraqi town of Baiji. Talha Asmal had Arabized his name to Abu Yusuf al-Britani and is the latest young person used by jihadi Islamists as cannon fodder in their quest to establish an Islamic caliphate. This is laid out in sharia law, as a precursor to the Islamic Armageddon enshrined in Hadith literature, based on Prophet Mohammed's prophesy.       http://www.meforum.org/5331/many-muslims-support-isis

 nObama: Muslim Jihadists Can Join American Military To Be Trained  
(Theodore Shoebat) ~ The nObama administration has now given an invitation to jihadists to join military forces in the Middle East to be trained by US troops so that they can learn how to fight against Bashar al-Assad. Middle East analyst Robert Olson reports on the story... The administration's assessment that the American people don't care that much about the wars in Iraq and Syria is correct, in spite of hawkish members of Congress who trumpet the need for more "boots on the ground." This situation could quickly change if a Republican were to be elected president. I would not doubt for a moment that these trained jihadists will use their American training against US citizens in America. No doubt these jihadists will kill Christians. nObama is helping create an army that will persecute and slaughter Christians. There is no doubt nObama has done many wrong things and this is one of them.        http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/06/the-obama-administration-declares-that-muslim-jihadists-can-join-american-military-forces-to-be-trained-by-us-soldiers/

 Checking China’s military build-up in the South China Sea  
(James A. Lyons & Richard Fisher) ~ China intends to ignore the nObama administration’s demand that it halt its military base-building in the South China Sea. It is time for Washington to face a new reality... Either it leads the way to a new “armed peace” in this region, or China will soon commence a war for domination. First, it is important to understand why China will continue to ignore Washington, as it has rebuffed nearly 20 years of regional diplomacy seeking to avoid conflict over this crucial maritime region, now used annually by 40 percent of the world’s merchant ships. Simply put, for China’s Communist Party leadership, control of the South China Sea is essential to protect Hainan Island as a base from which it intends to project global military and space power, and which it views as essential to ensuring the survival of its political dictatorship.       http://www.aim.org/guest-column/checking-chinas-military-build-up-in-the-south-china-sea/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061715&utm_medium=email

 REPUBLICANS QUIVERING IF OBAMACARE OVERTURNED  
(Garth Kant) ~ The congressman’s voice was calm but there was exasperation in his words, and an implicit concern that Republicans were poised to snatch defeat from the jaws of a major victory... Referring to a Supreme Court decision, due any day now, that could effectively overturn nObamacare, U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, lamented, “I think there is some fear in some circles in the Republican Party that if this decision goes our way that it’s actually bad for us.” Sounding incredulous, he told reporters on Capitol Hill, “And I’m having a hard time understanding that, because, if it goes our way, then it will be exactly as we’ve been saying: that the way it was passed was wrong, that it was illegal and there might even be some constitutional issues with it.” The dilemma perceived by some in the GOP is, if the Supreme Court does rule in King v. Burwell that the federal health-care exchange was set up illegally, Republicans will get the blame when as many as 6.4 million Americans suddenly have no subsidies to pay for their insurance.     http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/republicans-quivering-if-obamacare-overturned/

     (freedomsback.com) ~ It’s increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Teach for America — whose leaders are at the forefront of inflammatory anti-police protests in Baltimore, Ferguson, and now McKinney, Texas — and left-wing activist groups such as Organizing for Action (President nObama’s partisan community organizing army).
.
Guess what, taxpayers? You’re paying for it!
.
     Wendy Kopp founded Teach for America in 1989 after writing her Princeton University thesis on the need for a “national teaching corps” of elite college grads who would serve students on short-term stints in low-income neighborhoods. The do-gooder group has exploded into a massive, nonprofit business.
.
     “Between 2000 and 2013, ” researchers at the National Educational Policy Center reported, “TFA’s yearly operating expenditures increased 1,930 percent — from $10 million to $193.5 million. Of those expenditures, TFA annual reports show that about a third of operating costs are borne by the public.” Individual TFA chapters have raked in millions in federal AmeriCorps grants, supported by leaders in both political parties. Large corporations (including $100 million donor Wal-Mart), philanthropic foundations, and individuals have pitched in nearly a half-billion dollars in tax-deductible charitable private donations.
.
     Teach for America spends copious amounts on advertising, lobbying and public relations to hype its academic benefits, but its record on producing benefits for students is mixed. Government teachers’ unions don’t like the organization’s fast-track “boot camp” training or its support of public charter schools. But those concerns pale in comparison to the divisive, grievance-mongering activities of the group’s increasingly radicalized officials and alumni.
.
     TFA’s most infamous public faces don’t even pretend to be interested in students’ academic achievement. It’s all about race, tweets and marching on the streets.
.
     In Durham, North Carolina, two Teach for America officials led costly traffic blockades over the Ferguson, Missouri, shooting last December. North Carolina blogger A.P. Dillon identified protester Rachel Schankula as a TFA executive coach and program director dating back to 2001. Protester Robert Terrell Stephens, cited by police for attempting to incite a riot, is currently TFA’s director of alumni teacher leadership and also served as a community organizer for nObama for America.
.
     Deray McKesson, described by TFA as a “protestor,” is a finalist for the organization’s $10,000 Peter Jennings Award for Civic Leadership, which will be announced next month. He briefly taught sixth-grade math for the program before graduating to full-time racial rabble-rousing.
.
     A gushing New York Times reporter credited McKesson and his social justice warrior partners with building “the most formidable American protest movement of the 21st century to date.” He uses Twitter to jump the gun on every police-related shooting across the country. He fanned the flames over the bogus “NAACP bombing” in Colorado Springs. This week, McKesson scurried to McKinney, Texas, along with the National of Islam, New Black Panther Party, and assorted rent-a-mob professionals, to turn a pool party fight into an international incident.
.
     “We are currently at the McKinney Police Department, occupying space,” he breathlessly reported. One of his fellow peace-loving instigators at the rally thundered: “We’re setting the stage for a terrorist attack in this country, and the group is not going to be ISIS.”
.
     Another fellow TFA traveler is Brittany Packnett, the executive director of St. Louis’s Teach for America chapter. She’s also a finalist for the group’s Peter Jennings Award and a McKesson ally. They published a Ferguson newsletter together, distributing it to activists around the country — and inside the Justice Department. Her Twitter profile shows her making the debunked “Hands up, don’t shoot” gesture in front of a line of police officers. Credited with putting the “#BlackLivesMatter” Twitter hashtag on the map, the 29-year-old St. Louis-area activist was tapped by President nObama to join his federal policing commission.
.
     Packnett briefly taught third grade as a TFA instructor in Washington, D.C., before diving into political organizing to represent “our collective truth” and promote “the urgency of now.”
.
     Packnett pointedly praises “the fact that TFA has consistently had my back” in her quest for “disruptive change and systemic change.” She bragged that TFA co-CEO Matt Kramer accompanied her to protests in St. Louis. Another proud moment for TFA’s St. Louis leader: Her conversion of a 25-year-friend who went from having actual jobs as a pharmacy technician and furniture store employee to becoming a “field organizer for the Organization for Black Struggle.”
.
     Teach for America has transformed itself into a recruiting center for militants bent on occupying themselves with anything other than imparting knowledge and academic excellence to children in the classroom. When a government-funded outfit abandons education as its mission in favor of social agitation, it’s time to cut off the taxpayer pipeline

 House Democrats Doom nObama's Trade Deal 
In a vote that served a smackdown on nObama's trade deal with Pacific countries, House Democrats voted against a provision that was supposed to sweeten the legislation allowing nObama the authority to fast track the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The Senate had sent two measures to the House: Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) was the legislation that gave the chief executive authority to negotiate this trade deal, and Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), a Democrat priority, was legislation that — as the leftists viewed it — protected American workers (read: unions) when the economy experienced freer global trade. On Friday, the House overwhelmingly rejected TAA in a 302-126 vote and narrowly passed TPA 219-211. Both chambers need to agree on the legislation before it heads to nObama's desk. So TPA will head back to the Senate where it may or may not pass; the bill's on life support.
          This comes as nObama lobbied hard for the measure to pass. He showed up at the congressional baseball game to personally lobby lawmakers. He even made his way to Capitol Hill to talk to Democrats — the first time in two years. It was personal, it was desperate and, ouch, Pulosi and Co. betrayed him. "Basically, the president tried to both guilt people and then impugned their integrity, and I don't think it was a very effective tactic," said Democrat Rep. Peter Defazio (D-OR). Both parties are split in Congress over the issue. But those who love Liberty should appreciate that we have more time to debate a trade deal.  -The Patriot Post

 China's Theft of Federal Employee Data Demands a Response 
Not only has China scraped up the data from all federal employees past and present, the Office of Personnel Management said it had "a high degree of confidence" that the country has every SF-86 form submitted by any American seeking a security clearance. Former general council to the NSA and former National Counter terrorism Center head Matthew Olsen said the data could be used many different ways by the oppressive Chinese regime, "whether it's [to] blackmail, to recruit, [or] to punish individuals in China who are connected to people in the United States." As it's been said before, China has been creating a massive database on American citizens, and it has also hacked into the databases of health insurance companies in the past to gather data. Furthermore, anonymous sources are saying the data theft of federal employees didn't just affect four million people. Instead, the breach could affect as many as 14 million Americans. In response to impeding U.S. intelligence efforts, cataloging Americans like merchandise and sitting poised to wreak further havoc on our country, let's hope the U.S. is also matching China's data collection efforts. In this game of espionage, let's make it so China also cannot keep secrets. More...

 June Deadline for 'Islamic Bomb' 
As yet another supposed "deadline" approaches for a final agreement with Iran over its nuclear program, the sheer determination of Barack nObama to get any deal he can before he leaves office — literally any deal — becomes more and more the driving force behind our negotiating position.
          Having once said "We cannot allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon; it would be a game-changer in the region" and claiming "I will always keep the threat of military action on the table," nObama is now willing to ignore Iranian nuclear violations, ignore Iran's willful violation of UN Security Council resolutions, ignore Iran's role in the Syrian war, ignore Iran's continued arming and equipping of Hezbollah, ignore Iran's defacto control of Iraq, ignore the mortal threat a nuclear Iran would pose to Israel, and ignore the history of the current Iranian regime, all in the hope of getting something on paper with which to declare his foreign policy legacy.
          The most recent interim agreement openly ceded to Iran everything it needs to produce nuclear weapons if it will only refrain from open mischief for ten years. Ten years is a blink of an eye to a nation. Consider that just slightly more than ten years ago a previously little-known Illinois senator was delivering the keynote address at the Democrat National Convention in Boston, or that nearly 25 years have passed since the first Gulf War.
          With a sense of its own history stretching back nearly 6,000 years, Iran understands how quickly ten years will pass, at which time it can begin industrial-scale enrichment without penalty. Ten years will also produce advances in Iran's ballistic missile program, another subject once linked to the nuclear program but now tossed aside by the White House.  -The Patriot Post

 It’s REALLY more like ‘Jeb?’ Than ‘Jeb!’ 
The biggest disadvantage that Jeb Bush has isn’t his last name, but rather the relative quality of the Republican field he is facing.
          That’s not to say that being George W. Bush’s little brother is an unalloyed positive for the former Florida governor. But as polls have shown, it is (no surprise) less of a problem for GOP primary voters than with the general electorate. Plus, Dubya is mellowing in the cask of public opinion, especially as President nObama flails about over Iraq.
          The younger Bush obviously understands the liabilities involved with his family name and the basic American resistance to dynasties. Otherwise, he wouldn’t pick a logo that emphasizes a nickname that sounds as if it were ringing across the tennis courts at Andover.
          But don’t let them kid you. If you wanted to be president and could choose whether to be the son and brother of presidents or be the son of a small-town preacher or a Miami bartender, you know what you’d pick. Bush was born on third base; everybody else had to hit a triple.
          But still, as he launches his official candidacy, Bush is struggling to assert his dominance. Bush is probably a better establishment-backed candidate than either of the two after his brother, and both John McCain and Mitt Romney won by comfortable margins. Yet, this time seems different.
          Part of it is technique. While Hilly Clinton has lowered the bar dramatically for forthrightness, accountability and probity, Bush’s decision to invoke his Right to Raise unlimited sums for six months before actually declaring hasn’t exactly set him up to run as the tribune of the people.
          But the biggest part is that Bush is facing serious competition. In 2008, Romney had to keep other viable establishmentarians out of the field, particularly then-Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels. Once the field was set, Romney had only one real threat: then Texas Gov. Rick Perry. But Perry was a bust. Everything after was just delaying the inevitable.
          This time, Bush has at least two rivals in Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., whose talents and positions make them real alternatives. Remember, the way the previous two candidates put away the nomination: Mainstream Republicans blanched at the thought of nominating candidates seen, fairly or not, as one-dimensional, social issue grinds.
          Neither Walker nor Rubio is that kind of candidate. If either makes it into the home stretch with Bush, the surge is more likely to come for the underdog rather than the current frontrunner. Unless Walker and Rubio succeed in destroying each other and leaving the way open for a riskier pick, Bush will not have the advantage of declaring his final foe electorally toxic.
          Jeb Bush is a better candidate in many ways than Romney or McCain were. But unfortunately for him, his chief rivals are furlongs ahead of the 2008 and 2012 pack.  -Fox News

 Clinton Camp Blocks Daily Mail Reporter From NH Events  
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) ~ A Daily Mail reporter with an eye for Clinton campaign plants was persona non-grata at some campaign events in New Hampshire, Monday... David Martosko broke a story back in April exposing an “unscripted” Clinton campaign event in Iowa that turned out to be heavily choreographed with Democrat activists. Driving through New Hampshire in the rain without knowing where you’re headed is an unnerving experience, but that’s where I found myself this morning after Hilly Clinton’s staff said I wouldn’t be allowed to do my job reporting on her campaign.

 LEFTISTS' OPEN SEASON ON CHRISTIANS  
(David Limbaugh) ~ If you doubt that Christians are fair game for ridicule by the cultural left, take a look at the hit piece on Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia by Jeffrey Tayler for Salon... I can’t decide which is worse, the title or the subtitle. The title: “Antonin Scalia is unfit to serve: A justice who rejects science and the law for religion is of unsound mind.” The subtitle: “The justice claims to be an originalist, but his real loyalty is to religion and a phony man in the sky.” The writer is trying to be cute, but don’t conclude that any part of his thesis is intended to be tongue-in-cheek. He opens by telling us that “faith-derangement syndrome” has now infected the Supreme Court as it has the executive branch.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/leftists-open-season-on-christians/

 CLINTONS 'COULD ENRON MAJOR ACCOUNTING FIRM'

Ortel also asked PWC a number of questions based on his investigation and has received no reply.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/clintons-could-enron-major-accounting-firm/

 Congressman Slams nObama's Syrian Refugee Program  
(Leo Hohmann) ~ A Texas congressman who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee is calling on President nObama to abandon his plan to resettle thousands of Syrians displaced by that country’s civil war, saying the plan is “very dangerous” for America’s security... The problem is that ISIS has already said it will infiltrate the ranks of the refugees being sent by the United Nations to various Western countries, said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas. McCaul wrote a letter to President nObama Thursday expressing concerns over the administration’s announced plans to resettle some 2,000 Syrian refugees in the United States this year. Another 10,000 to 11,000 are in the U.N. pipeline destined for America. http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/congressman-slams-obamas-syrian-refugee-program/

 The Most Inexcusable Crime in the Muslim World  
(Uzay Bulut) ~ Violence and intolerance envelop the Muslim world. People who commit barbaric acts -- slaughtering Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus, almost anyone -- say they are merely upholding Islamic sharia law against "blasphemy," apostasy and "unbelievers."... These Islamic extremists daily take those laws in their own hands, murdering anyone who wants to think freely or differently. Every day, arrests, trials, floggings, torture and the murder of journalists, poets, students and human rights activists are a routine practice. In 2013, a Pakistani Professor of English, Junaid Hafeez, was arrested and jailed on blasphemy charges after a student affiliated with the Jamaat-i-Islami party accused him of insulting Muhammad, the founder of Islam, on Facebook. His original lawyer, Chaudhry Mudassar, left the case in June 2013 after facing a multitude of death threats. His second lawyer, Rashid Rehman, was shot dead in his office in front of his colleagues on May 7, 2014. His current lawyer, Shahbaz Gurmani, has received death threats, including guns fired outside his house, and a letter from the Islamic State (ISIS), warning him against pursuing the case, and stating that he will be beheaded unless he stops. Junaid Hafeez remains in jail.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5966/crime-muslim-world

 Sen. Corker Blasts nObama's "Breathtaking" Concessions To IRAN  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ Senator Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent the President a letter Monday that warned the administration is on a dangerous path toward a deal that would let Iran continue its nuclear program... that the President has caved on too many of his own goals for stopping Iran’s nuclear program, and said if Iran pushes for more concessions related to transparency, President nObama should  have the courage to "please pause and consider rethinking the entire approach." Corker is specifically worried by reports that nObama is about to make another concession, one that would allow Iran avoid having to admit having certain nuclear capabilities, and instead allowing the International Atomic Energy Agency made determinations about these capabilities without any confirmation from Iran. Corker said that if this concession has been offered, it would be a mistake. The senator said it was “breathtaking” to see how much ground Mr. nObama and his fellow negotiating partners have given to Iran in the talks.        http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/senator-corker-blasts-obamas.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=eebd69b8d9-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-eebd69b8d9-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-eebd69b8d9-291705165

 Would the prez threaten to veto much-needed additional defense?  
(Jim Talent) ~ A showdown is looming in Washington over the National Defense Authorization bill and the Appropriations bill for the Department of Defense. At stake is whether the Congress is able to make any progress this year on repairing the damage which defense cuts have done to the armed forces and the nation’s security... The Budget Control Act of 2011, also known as sequestration, had the effect of cutting a trillion dollars from the ten-year budget plan which secretary of defense Bob Gates recommended before he left office in 2011. Coming on the heels of a decade of hard fighting and chronic underfunding of the military’s capital accounts, the sequester is a disaster in progress. It has resulted in severe shortfalls in day-to-day readiness across the services, and if continued, will make it nearly impossible in the future to restore readiness, maintain personnel end strength at an adequate level, or recapitalize the armed forces. The sequester is particularly irresponsible given the growing threats around the world and the Chinese military buildup; for that reason, the sequester was unanimously condemned by the National Defense Panel in its report last year.       http://www.aei.org/publication/why-would-the-president-threaten-to-veto-much-needed-additional-defense-funds/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061615

 Why Do People Become Islamic Extremists?   (Bradford Thomas) ~ In a new Prager University video, Haroon Ullah, a senior State Department advisor and field researcher in South Asia and the Middle East, debunks the two most prominent explanations for why people are susceptible to terrorism: poverty and ignorance... Though the left continually points to lack of resources and education as the central cause of the rise of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East, Ullah said after living in Pakistan he found those two rationales to be demonstrably false. In Pakistan, he explains, he found "something much different than I expected. Poverty had little to do with who became an extremist; lack of education even less." He found, instead, that many terrorists come from middle class families and have college educations. The draw to radicalism was not one of economic desperation or susceptibility due to a lack of education, it was a longing "for meaning and for order," a desire for "change" in "the old corrupt order," and a sense of "victimhood":       http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/middle-east-expert-debunks-poverty-and-ignorance-excuse-radicalism

 Green Policies Kill Military Readiness and Vets  
(Cliff Kincaid) ~ As the world waits for the pope’s climate change encyclical, new attention has been focused on how the nObama administration’s green energy policies are undermining U.S. military readiness and diverting resources from caring for America’s veterans... We reported recently that the nObama administration didn’t have time to develop a strategy to fight against global Islamic terrorism because it was too busy putting homosexuals into the Armed Forces and celebrating gay pride. In fact, there was something else on the agenda that nObama had ordered the military to handle that had assumed more importance than global terrorism—climate change. On May 20, in his remarks to the United States Coast Guard Academy commencement, nObama actually told the Coast Guard grads that “It is a dereliction of duty” for them to ignore this alleged problem.       http://www.aim.org/aim-column/green-policies-kill-military-readiness-and-vets/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061615&utm_medium=email

No Strategy. No Clue

Obama%2B-%2BNo%2BIdea%2BWhat%2BIm%2BDoing.png
.
     (factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) ~ The Wednesday, June 10 Wall Street Journal headline at the top of the page was “nObama Set to Expand Troops in Iraq.” We were 589 days into the two terms Barack Hussein nObama has served in the office of President of the United States and he is as clueless now as he was when he arrived on January 20, 2009.
.
     “President Barack nObama is poised to send hundreds more American advisers to a new base in a strategic Iraqi region to help devise a counterattack against marauding Islamic State militants, U.S. officials said Tuesday, a shift that underscores American concern over recent battlefield losses.” It’s 450 “trainers.”
.
     We have had losses because (1) nObama was elected on a promise to end the conflict in Iraq and (2) reelected by pulling out troops to the point that the remaining Iraqi troops—Shiites in the south—decided it wasn’t worth dying for their leaders. Can’t say I blame them, but dying at the hands of ninth century Islamic fanatics is the fate that threatens the entire Middle East, not just Iraq or what’s left of it.
.
     This is how we lost the war in Vietnam. There was a time when Americans utterly destroyed their enemies on the battlefield. In the latter half of the last century, starting in Korea, we forgot how to do that and why that’s how wars are won.
.
     In all candor, like a lot of Americans, I went back and forth about the Mideast conflicts. Looking back, I think George H.W. Bush showed remarkable insight when, after driving Iraq’s Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, he stopped at the border and came home. George W. had the notion he could somehow introduce democracy to the region. He couldn’t and it will likely never really occur there because Islam is the only law and it has kept the region ignorant, backward, and under the thumb of tyrants for centuries.
.
     The Islamic State troops must be stopped at some point, but nObama is not the President who will do it. Whatever U.S. backed combat occurs will be just enough to present enough television news images to convince the gullible that progress is being made.
.
     nObama arrived in office without any strategy and has spent the last six and a half years “muddling through” as the British say. He and the Democratic Party had only one goal; to win the elections. After that, they wanted to “fundamentally transform” the greatest nation on planet Earth. They have largely made a mess out of everything they touched from nObamaCare to Common Core.
.
     There’s a reason why nObama will send more troops and that’s because every one of our allies has told him that, if the U.S. does not again assert its role of global leadership, they are not going to cooperate with him in a thousand different ways.
.
     Our allies in the Mideast have told him they lack the military strength (and will) to conduct any kind of war with ISIS. The U.S. and much of the rest of the world cannot afford to sit by and let the enormous oil wealth and reserves of the Mideast come under the control of ISIS.
.
So, once again we read headlines about U.S. troops returning to the Mideast.
.
     What that means is that the 2016 elections are more critical to the future of the nation than all previous ones.
.
     I think Americans, liberals, conservatives and independents alike have had more than enough of President No Strategy. I think there are enough older Americans who remember and take pride in a nation that was unabashedly the world’s leader in the pursuit of peace and democracy. And I think that the thirty percent or so of brain-dead liberals are not sufficient to affect the outcome of a 2016 election devoted to restoring the nation’s economy and leadership.
.
     It can be done. John F. Kennedy was on his way to doing so. Reagan did so. In 590 days from now, we can begin to do so again.

 FIORINA SAYS SHE IS WHAT A FEMINIST LOOKS LIKE 
The lone woman in the Republican field, Carly Fiorina, made waves in Washington with a speech that sought to redefine feminism. “A feminist is a woman who lives the life she chooses. … A woman may choose to have five children and home-school them. She may choose to become a CEO, or run for President,” said the presidential candidate at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
          Fiorina’s campaign platform has largely been based on her ability to take on Hilly Clinton woman to woman, but Thursday’s address fortified her platform withdetailed ideas. As a Republican and former CEO, Fiorina seeks to marry the party’s free-market principles with a friendlier dialogue about women’s issues asexemplified  by her discussion of how over-the-counter access to birth control would drive down prices without subsidies. Fiorina has a deep deficit in the polls though, with low name recognition, and many voters questioning whether a non-politician can hold the high office of president.
          But she heads to friendly territory this weekend for former Massachusetts’s Gov. Mitt Romney’s E2 Summit in Utah where she will have the chance to stand out against her political counterparts with her business savvy. Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., both plan to address the uber-rich congregation and Rubio might as well be a counselor at Camp Mitt. But don’t count out Fiorina yet, as unlike Rubio, her momentum seems to steadily rise.

WTOP: “Tom Wharton didn’t think twice about bringing his beloved cockatoo,Tootsie, with him on camping trips, until the duo were kicked out of two campsites following complaints about his feathered companion. Rhode Island lawmakers are considering changing the law that only allows four-legged friends likes dogs and cats to accompany their owners to campgrounds…Wharton, a regular camper, has brought his 21-year-old parrot with him on several camping trips over the years, he said. Tootsie occasionally would leave his 31-foot Airstream, he said, but she doesn’t make any noise… ‘I feel bad she has to stay home. She loves to ride in the car. I take her to music festivals,’ Wharton said.”

 HUD's 'Housing Equality' Thud 
Barack nObama's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is set to release a rule aimed at fostering "diversity" in wealthy neighborhoods around the country. "HUD is working with communities across the country to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity for all," an agency spokeswoman said. "The proposed policy seeks to break down barriers to access to opportunity in communities supported by HUD funds." This diversity scheme has shades of the last time Democrats attempted to reconfigure banking to favor unqualified people. Promoters of the policy are suggesting it's fair because, if states and communities don't want to abide by nObama's decree, they can forgo the federal money they receive. That's a fair argument only if the people in those states can also choose to forgo paying taxes to the federal government. Of course, most of nObama's supporters pay no taxes. Political analyst Marc Thiessen said it best: "We as conservatives believe and diversifying communities too. The way you do that is through economic opportunity. It's not by building more affordable housing in affluent communities, it's by creating economic opportunities so that more Americans can afford housing in affluent communities. Right now the problem is that people at the bottom of the nObama economy can't get ahead." HUD's rule is nothing more than an nObama charade to ramp up class warfare and appease constituents who are enslaved on poverty plantations — the direct result of generations of failed Democrat economic policies.  -The Patriot Post

 Jihad on Churches  
(Raymond Ibrahim) ~ On Sunday, March 15, as Christian churches around the world were celebrating morning mass, two churches in Pakistan — one Catholic, one Protestant — were attacked by Islamic suicide bombers. At least 17 people were killed and over 70 wounded... The Taliban claimed responsibility. It is believed that the group had hoped for much greater death tolls, as there were almost 2,000 people in both churches at the time of the explosions. According to eyewitnesses, two suicide bombers approached the gates of the two churches and tried to enter them. When they were stopped — in one church by a 15-year-old Christian youth who blocked them with his body — the Islamic jihadis self-detonated. Witnesses saw "body parts flying through the air." According to an official statement from the Justice and Peace Commission of the Episcopal Conference of Pakistan, despite all the threats received by the churches, authorities only provided "minimal" security.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5912/jihad-on-churches

 It's Time for Israel to Stop Neglecting Cyprus  
(Gal Luft) ~ It may sometimes seem the world is increasingly antagonistic toward Israel, but Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades' visit to Jerusalem this week should remind Israelis that there are still allies to be found, even in the Middle East... One of them lies a mere 200 kilometers from the beaches of Haifa. For decades, Israel has neglected Cyprus, focusing its efforts on becoming more acceptable to its Arab neighbors, as well as to Turkey, Cyprus' archenemy. But these efforts have stalled in recent years. Relations with Turkey have soured, the peace with Jordan and Egypt is more or less frozen, and the peace process with the Palestinians is nonexistent. Among all of these, it is Cyprus, Israel's only non-majority-Muslim neighbor, that provides a glimmer of hope. With only 10 percent of Israel's population and 1 percent of Turkey's, the island may seem to be of little strategic importance, but recent geopolitical and economic developments have elevated its value for Israel and vice versa, creating the conditions for a renaissance in Israel-Cyprus relations.       http://www.meforum.org/5315/israel-cyprus

 nObama admin prepares to cave in to another Khamenei red line  
(Paul Wolfowitz) ~ Now, in an Associated Press story titled, “US finds peeling back the Iran sanctions onion no easy task,” officials are claiming that the administration “may have to backtrack on its promise that it will suspend only nuclear-related economic sanctions on Iran as part of an emerging nuclear agreement.”... This is because, in what they call the “briar patch of interwoven economic sanctions,” it is too hard to distinguish between “nuclear” sanctions and “non-nuclear” sanctions applied because of Iran’s support for terrorism, human rights violations, money laundering and ballistic missile development. According to the unnamed “officials,” the administration plans to redefine the term “nuclear sanctions,” giving it such a broad definition that there will be little left in the non-nuclear category. This is quite obviously absurd, but what seems to be going on is that the administration is preparing to yield to the Iranian demand that sanctions be lifted immediately — and this means all sanctions and not just nuclear ones. Agreeing to that would mean not only much more extensive sanctions relief — for example relief for banks that are believed to have laundered money for terrorists — but it would also make it extremely difficult to use sanctions as an instrument for constraining such activity by Iran in the future. This will only add to the considerable concerns of Iran’s neighbors that the agreement does nothing to address Iran’s non-nuclear activities.       http://www.aei.org/publication/obama-administration-prepares-to-cave-into-another-khamenei-red-line/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061515

 HUGE NEWS: Barack nObama Caught in Crime “Of the Century”  
(thepoliticalinsider.com) ~ President Barack nObama has shown his willingness to shred the Constitution and spy on American citizens. But he has been caught red handed in a major crime spree that I didn’t want to believe was possible... This report shows The White House not only knew about the CIA spying on the United States Senate, but they were behind the spying! This is incredible. At the time, CIA Director John Brennan had discussions with top White House Staff – including nObama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough – about an effort to scan hard drives of staffers used on the Senate Intelligence Committee. These staffers worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and they wanted the secret details of the investigation on interrogation techniques by the CIA. After becoming aware of the CIA’s snooping, Feinstein argued that the CIA had “likely violated the constitutional separation of powers,” according to The Huffington Post. The White House, not surprisingly, declined comment, implying that nObama’s Administration agrees and is either scrambling for a defense or simply has none.       http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/huge-news-barack-obama-caught-in-crime-of-the-century/

 Occupy Wall Street Mainstreams Communism  
(Matthew Vadum) ~ Though many have declared the Occupy Wall Street movement a failure, it won a major propaganda victory when it forced the phony political issue of “income inequality” into the national political debate, according to one of its leaders in a new article... The article, titled The Triumph of Occupy Wall Street, appears at the Atlantic, the home of radical leftists, market participants in the racial grievance industry, and mushy moderates. It was written by radical left-winger Michael Levitin, a co-founder of The Occupied Wall Street Journal, an OWS “affinity group.” (Its website had not been updated in 1,000 days at time of writing.) The article is a mixture of truth and bald-faced lies that slavishly defends a philosophy of failure and a movement that is based on Marxist lies, as David Horowitz and John Perazzo demonstrated in their pamphlet Occupy Wall Street:       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/matthew-vadum/occupy-wall-street-mainstreams-communism/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=0dee2518db-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-0dee2518db-156509103

 New Lerner Emails…Gives DUMBEST EXCUSE For Not Releasing  
(Patrick Howley) ~ The Internal Revenue Service found 6,400 more Lois Lerner emails — but they’re not handing them over in court.  The IRS’ latest excuses are nothing short of infuriating... Department of Justice lawyers Geoffrey J. Klimas and Stephanie Sasarak, acting as counsel for the IRS, submitted a U.S. District Court filing June 12 in the case Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service. The court filing, provided to The Daily Caller, claims the IRS received new Lerner emails from the Treasury Department’s inspector general (TIGTA) but can’t fork over the emails to Judicial Watch, a nonprofit group suing to get the emails. Why? Because the IRS is busy making sure that none of the emails are duplicates  – you know, so as not to waste anyone’s time.        http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/14/irs-finds-6400-new-lois-lerner-emails-gives-dumbest-excuse-yet-for-not-releasing-themhttps://sharylattkisson.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/S."105" />

 Islamic State Gains Military Expertise From Ex-Soldiers  
(Bill Gertz) ~ The recent defection to the Islamic State (IS) of a special operations colonel in Tajikistan and the group’s infiltration of the Malaysian military are raising new concerns that the Islamist terror group is gaining military expertise, according to U.S. officials and experts... Col. Gulmurod Khalimov, a commander of the Interior Ministry security unit known as OMON, disappeared in April and late last month surfaced in an IS video calling for jihad against Russia and the United States. Tajikistan is a former Soviet republic that is currently aligned with Russia. In Southeast Asia, authorities in Malaysia broke up an Islamic State terrorist plot in March that involved two Royal Malaysian Air Force soldiers. The arrests revealed the terrorist group has infiltrated the military and that around 70 Malaysian army personnel are believed to be supporters or sympathizers with the Islamic State, according to U.S. officials.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/islamic-state-gains-military-expertise-from-ex-soldiers/

 Clapper Acknowledges Omissions on Iran Threat  
(Emma-Jo. Morris) ~ A senior administration official acknowledged to Senate Republicans that its 2015 intelligence threat assessment failed to provide the full scope of Iran’s state sponsored terrorism... Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a letter to the Senate that the 2015 worldwide threat assessment could have been more specific about the Iranian threat to United States’ interests. He emphasized that the omissions from a general report do not mean the intelligence community is ignoring that threat. “A specific reference to the terrorist threat from Iran and Hezbollah—which was not included in any of the drafts of the testimony—would have been appropriate for the 2015 assessment, but the lack of its inclusion is in no way a change in the IC’s assessment,” Clapper said in his June 3 letter.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/clapper-acknowledges-omissions-on-iran-threat/

The Supreme Court Decision
on Jerusalem Lets nObama Ignore Reality
Jonathan Tobin
.
.
     (jewishworldreview.com) ~ The problem with American Middle East policy during the nObama administration has always boiled down to one factor: the president and his foreign policy team prefer their fantasies about the way things should be to the cold hard reality of Palestinian rejectionism, Islamist terror, or Iran's ambitions for regional hegemony.
.
     That hasn't worked out well for America or its allies, as the U.S. has suffered setback after setback with the collapse of revived peace negotiations that were doomed to fail, Hamas' hold on Gaza, Iran's growing power, and the rise of ISIS. But let it not be said that the president hasn't won any victories.
.
     By siding with the administration in the case of Zivotofsky v. hanoi Kerry, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the executive branch's constitutional power to recognize foreign governments. In this instance, that meant allowing the president to declare that, contrary to an act of Congress as well as the facts on the ground, nObama is entitled to pretend that the city of Jerusalem isn't the capital of Israel or even part of the Jewish state.
.
     This triumph may cause celebration in the White House as well as among Israel's foes. But it should also be put down as yet another win for fantasy over reality as well as one that won't further the cause of peace.
.
     The case involved American citizens living in Israel who wanted the government to put down Jerusalem, Israel as their son's place of birth on his passport. Considering that this is where he was born and that U.S. law states that Jerusalem is part of Israel, there shouldn't be any problem with this request. But since, due to an awkward diplomatic dance it has been conducting since 1948, the U.S. has never recognized that Jerusalem is part of Israel, the consulate refused leading the Zivotofskys to sue and to take their case all the way to the Supreme Court.
.
     The impact of this decision is outrageous, but it is easy to understand where the majority is coming from. The Constitution is clear that foreign policy is the prerogative of the executive branch, not Congress. One would wish the nObama administration might have equal respect for constitutional dictates that don't favor increasing its power, as it did here. But while the president feels free to ignore the Constitution when he wants to flout the will of Congress and legislate on his own by granting amnesty to millions of aliens, he is happy to hide behind the Constitution when it comes to upholding the longstanding denial that Jerusalem is Israel.
.
     As Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito and Scalia stated in their sensible dissent in the case, it's not quite as simple as that. This area of law is, as even Justice Anthony Kennedy admitted in the majority opinion, not well defined because the body of case law is meager.
.
     In the past, the legislative and the executive branches have largely settled any disputes without the judiciary having to intervene as the referee. But while the Constitutional principle that the president has the right to make foreign policy must be respected, the notion that he may ignore U.S. law when doing so is not well established. Just as President Reagan did not have the right to fund the Nicaragua contras during the period when Congress forbade it, it can be argued with equal force that once a law was passed and signed (though President George W. Bush said he wouldn't enforce it) that stated the U.S. recognized that Jerusalem was part of Israel, the executive did not have the ability to go on denying it.
.
     As with immigration, President nObama wants to have his cake and eat it too and a 6-3 majority in Zivoftosky appears happy to let him have it.
.
     But let's, at least for a moment, leave the legal technicalities of this subject to the lawyers and comment instead on what this means for U.S. foreign policy.
.
     The administration thinks being upheld on this point is good for America because it allows it to continue maintaining the fiction that Jerusalem isn't part of Israel.
.
     The bizarre refusal of the U.S. to formally acknowledge that even West Jerusalem — that section that has always been part of Israel since May 1948 — is part of the Jewish state also makes peace less likely.
.
     The administration or any of its predecessors could have simply moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem even if they insisted that the eastern part was not part of Israel. But they have all refused, making it even more difficult for Palestinians to recognize Israel's legitimacy.
.
     Reversing that stand would be unpopular in the Arab and Muslim world. This fiction enables the Palestinians to go on insisting that Israel give up the portions of the city that were illegally occupied by Jordan between 1948-1967.
.
     The presumption is that once peace is achieved between Israel and the Palestinians, including, at least according to President nObama, a re-partition of the city, the U.S. might have a more realistic policy about Jerusalem.
.
     What's wrong with that seemingly position is that so long as the U.S. is encouraging the Palestinians to think they can have all of that portion of Israel's capital as part of that state — including mostly 40-year-old neighborhoods where hundreds of thousands of Jews live — they'll never come to terms with the fact that they are going to have to accept a compromise and leave those people in place and allow the city to remain united.
.
     If that wasn't bad enough, nObama, more than any other president since 1967 has encouraged this delusion by treating these Jewish neighborhoods as being as offensive to him, and the Jews who live there as just as liable to be thrown out of their homes as the most remote West Bank settlement. That broke new and even more dangerous ground on the issue and made a resolution on Jerusalem even less likely to happen in the foreseeable future.
.
     nObama can celebrate the court's dubious endorsement of his power to deny reality in Jerusalem, but no one should be under the impression that this is good for peace.
.
     All the Supreme Court decision on Jerusalem has done is to reinforce the president's worst instincts that reflexively always cause him to prefer his fantasies about Jerusalem and the rest of the region to reality and common sense.

 SORRY, NO SCOOBY DOO-OVER FOR HILLY 
It’s not America’s fault that Hilly Clinton decided to launch her campaign on a security camera in a Chipotle in Ohio. So why should she be entitled to subject the country to her do-over?
          Dogged by scandal, Clinton opted to launch her second presidential campaign from behind the tinted windows of a Secret Service van. And for two months she has persisted with a bubble wrapped, phony campaign.
          Now, much of political press is giving her lavish coverage for the kind of kickoff event that normal presidential candidates hold. But at the same time we are strenuously warned that nothing of substance will be discussed.
          The big scoop, reported in some embarrassingly gushy tones, is that Clinton will re-frame her candidacy as an homage to her mother’s struggles. But even that is not new. When Clinton was trying to stave off defeat in Iowa’s 2008 caucuses, she deployed the exact message that will be the theme of her re-re-launch. Seen as out of touch and entitled by voters, Clinton put her mother in a TV ad. The only difference now is that Clinton is able to add the word “grandmother” to the script.
          Covering as major news something a candidate has done before and said before is pretty small beer. Covering it thusly when the candidate is shutting down the press and ducking relevant questions about her own conduct as well as the issues of the day is pure malpractice.
          Do you remember that brief period of time in which reporters were acting uppity about how the Clinton campaign was abusing them and how the candidate was hiding from very real controversies? Well that was like so three weeks ago. The ADD political press has tired of the whole accountability thing and is totes ready to cover a non-existent horse race.
          On WednesdayBill Clinton felt so confident in the forgetfulness of the press that he told Bloomberg: “Has anybody proved that we did anything objectionable? No.” While it may be true that no one has proven the Clintons have done anything illegal, “objectionable” would be a pretty charitable term for people who hid donations and personal income from unsavory sources and who destroyed more than 30,000 emails on a secret server inappropriately used during government work.
          Since the 1970s, running for president in the United States has meant one thing: filing with the Federal Elections Commission declare your candidacy.
          Clinton made her official filing on or about April 12. Despite her story about coming to the final decision on a visit to Oscar de la Renta’s beachfront villa in December, she has, practically speaking, never stopped running for president since the moment after her 2000 election. So what’s the point of Saturday’s event? Proving that she really, really wants to be president? We’ve got that part.  -Fox News

 DEMS HASSLE HILLY OVER TRADE 
A razor-thin result excepted, today’s critical House votes on trade authority – it’s complicated – brings to a crescendo weeks long arm-twisting by proponents and opponents alike (go to FoxNews.com/Politics for the latest). While the battle has made for unlikely alliances and brought the kettle to a boil on both the left and the right, the lasting political heat is falling on the Democrats. Whether or not President nObama walks away with a victory, a deafening silence on the issue from the party’s de facto leader, Hilly Clinton, continues to frustrate her base. Clinton received a double-barrel blast Thursday with rival Bernie Sanders exhorting "If she’s against this, we need her to speak out. Right now. Right now,” and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio dangling his endorsement of the Democratic frontrunner on a “very clear statement” of opposition.  Clinton’s evasion will doubtless continue as she waits to see which way the winds blows post-vote.

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE  Bernard Cigrand had humble beginnings in Waubeka, Wisc. As a young man, he held numerous jobs to pay for his education, including selling scrap metal, and working on a steam barge before he could afford to go off to dental school. Cigrand was named a contributing editor of the Encyclopedia Americana the same year he got his dental degree. It was for the encyclopedia that he began writing about his love of the American Flag, and eventually proposed a national holidaycommemorating the flag adopted by the Continental Congress on June, 14, 1777. The message took hold in his local school district, and they began hosting observances the third Sunday of June. The movement grew, but sadly Cigrand would not see his holiday made official. He died of a heart attack in 1932, and it was not until 1949 that President Harry Truman signed the legislation. This Sunday’s Flag Day remember not only the commemoration of a flag, but the man who made it so.   -Fox News

 IOWA STRAW POLL KAPUT 
Des Moines Register: “The Iowa Straw Poll is dead. The governing board for the Republican Party of Iowa voted unanimously to cancel the straw poll, a milestone on the path to the White House that had passed the strategic tipping point. It was no longer a political risk for presidential campaigns to walk away from the straw poll, and too many of the 2016 contenders had opted to skip it for it to survive…Back in January, the Iowa GOP board unanimously to proceed with the event, a daylong political festival meant to showcase the party’s presidential candidates and to bring Iowa Republicans together for food, music and field-winnowing…The decision comes as the party fundraiser appeared to be on the verge of falling flat because so many presidential contenders were steering clear of it. Some candidates had said they might show up to give a speech, but wouldn’t spend money trying to win the straw poll. That meant the fundraiser would likely have struggled to break even, much less garnered hundreds of thousands for the party as it has in the past.”

 Declassified CIA memo shows Bill Clinton crippled anti-terrorism   
(Thomas Lifson) ~ In a classic Friday-afternoon document dump, a CIA memo written by then-agency head George Tenet in 2005 has been released, incriminating the Bill Clinton administration in crippling anti-terror efforts... Stephen Dinan of the Washington Times writes: The Clinton administration had bankrupted the intelligence community and refused to let the CIA prioritize anti-terrorism over other major priorities in the late 1990s, leaving the agency stretched too thin in the days ahead of the 2001 terrorist attacks, former Director George J. Tenet said in a 2005 document declassified Friday.

 Never Again? The ISIS Genocide of Yazidis  
(Stephen Schwartz & Christopher Bilardi) ~ Until the tragedy that came early in August 2014, the people who call themselves the Dâseni were little known to Westerners. These are the Yezidis, who mainly live in Iraq. Reviled as "devil worshippers" for centuries by their Muslim and Christian neighbors... they have endured 72 attempted genocides since 630 CE. After the predations of the "Islamic State" that number has increased to 74. A Kurdish people in ethnicity, the Yezidis practice a distinctive religion that is neither Christian nor Muslim. Tradition states that it is one of the oldest in the world, and that they have been a presence in Mesopotamia "for more than 6,700 years." During that long span of time Yezidism has incorporated elements of other faiths: Christian, Jewish, Muslim (Sufism), Zoroastrian, and Mandaean Gnostic. Like Hindus, the Yezidis have a caste system. Their tradition is hereditary and does not allow converts.       http://www.meforum.org/5313/yezidi-genocide

 GOP LEADERSHIP’S LATEST nOBAMATRADE PLOY REVEALED  
(Alex Swoyer) ~ Establishment Republicans desperately trying to secure the passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which would give President nObama fast-track authority to secure congressional approval of at least three secretive trade deals... are now willing to increase taxes on small businesses in a way that would violate a pledge almost every Republican Congressman has taken when elected into office. To secure final passage through Congress of a package that would include TPA fast-track authority—which would ensure finalization of the secretive Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), among other deals—the House would need to pass the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) package that was necessary for Senate passage of TPA. The House voted TAA down 302-126 with widespread bipartisan opposition to last week, but House Ways and Means Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and his allies in House GOP leadership have pledged that they will try to pass it again early next week. The vote would potentially be on Monday, but more likely on Tuesday—and if there is no vote by Tuesday, it’s unlikely that Ryan will be able to succeed in his ploy to revive TPA.        http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/14/gop-leaderships-latest-obamatrade-ploy-revealed-small-business-tax-hike-that-violates-gops-anti-tax-pledge/

 nObama Admin Subjects Millions of Americans to Cyber Hackers  
(Roger Aronoff) ~ It is an outrageous and unacceptable breach of trust. The federal government, through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), interviews everyone who requires any sort of security clearance... and asks the most detailed and personal questions about past associations, indiscretions and behavior, to make sure nothing in their past could subject them to blackmail or subversion. The interviews extend to friends and associates of those being vetted, and those people are also in the databases that have been breached. But now it has come to light that OPM failed to hold up the nObama administration’s end of the bargain by not doing everything they could to protect those records. The nObama administration initially downplayed the cyber hack of the OPM, which centrally manages records for current and former federal employees. It did so even though it had missed the hack for at least four months, if not more, until a company, CyTech Services, which was conducting a sales demonstration, found malware in OPM’s system that could have been there for a year or more.       http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obama-administration-incompetence-subjects-millions-of-americans-to-cyber-hackers/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061515&utm_medium=email

 Pathetic: nObama Thinks THIS Will Save Iraq? He’s Dead Wrong…  
(Lt. Col. (Retired) Allen West) ~ There are two words everyone who has served or is serving in the military does not want to hear: mission creep. It has been the deadly episode in the history of military operations throughout time... It is the piecemeal commitment of forces into a nebulous endeavor with no clear guidance or intent – basically no strategy. And those who commit warriors into the cauldron of uncertainty are doing solely to maintain a weak facade of taking action. And so it is, just days after Commander-in-Chief nObama announced to the world ten months after first stating he did not have a strategy to combat ISIS, that he STILL doesn’t have a strategy, the White House announces it will send another 450 troops into Iraq as trainers. No clear guidance was issued other than an intent to train more Iraqi troops. Sadly, we now have a little over 3,400 “trainers” in Iraq and only 2,598 Iraqi Soldiers in training. Of that number there are 800 Kurds and 1798 Shia, and no Sunnis are being trained. Do y’all see the laughable irony? We have more “trainers” in Iraq than those being trained.       http://www.aim.org/guest-column/pathetic-obama-thinks-this-will-save-iraq-hes-dead-wrong/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061515&utm_medium=email

 The Navy Chaplain Fighting for His Faith  
(fixthisnation.com) ~ Any sensible observer might wonder why a Christian Navy Chaplain would be facing discharge after using his faith to guide him in giving council. But while it’s not certain yet what punishment awaits Wes Modder, it is readily apparent that it is a new day in the military... Modder has been accused of being “unable to function in a pluralistic and diverse Navy” by those who have a problem with the way he does his job. At issue (as if there was any doubt)? Da gays. Modder told Fox and Friends this week that his gay administrative assistant was not happy about his views on same-sex marriage or relationships. This assistant filed a five-page complaint against him for failing to show “tolerance and respect” when dispensing advice. He claims that the most he is guilty of is adhering to his faith. “He did exactly what chaplains are supposed to do, which is minister to people and answer questions and one-on-one counseling of what the Bible says, of what their faith says,” his lawyer said.       http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/the-navy-chaplain-fighting-for-his-faith/

 Outsourcing Clinton Allies Accused of Abusing Visa System  
(Bill McMorris) ~ The Department of Labor is investigating two outsourcing giants with ties to the Clinton Foundation for illegally supplanting American workers with cheap foreign labor... The Department of Labor announced on Thursday it was investigating Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys for allegedly forcing American IT workers to train foreign workers before being laid off. Some of those employees allege that their employers replaced them with the immigrants who were in the country on temporary visas. The Labor Department is investigating whether or not the companies abused the H-1B program, which grants temporary visas to fill highly-skilled jobs that employers claim are not adequately filled by American workers. The law requires that companies take “good faith steps to recruit U.S. workers” and “has not displaced a U.S. worker at the time of filing an H-1B visa petition,” according to the department. The investigation was announced on Thursday by a bipartisan group of senators.       http://freebeacon.com/politics/outsourcing-clinton-allies-accused-of-abusing-visa-system/

 The Silencing and Censorship of Opinions  
(sharylattkisson.com) ~ I recently had the pleasure of interviewing liberal Kirsten Powers for C-SPAN about her new book, The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech... which takes on what she calls the “illiberal left” for using bullying, intimidation and political correctness to silence opinions that differ with their own. Really, she is criticizing the unAmerican and unconstitutional trend–whether by liberals or conservatives–to censor all opinions with which they disagree. She has amazing stories of the happenings on college campuses with kids being given “trigger” warnings on books and articles that might offend their sensitivities or give them PTSD by evoking an offensive image, and with college professors going berserk (and even physically attacking) when they see kids making perfectly legal demonstrations on campus but are delivering a message with which the professors disagree.        https://sharylattkisson.com/the-silencing-and-censorship-of-opinions/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29

 Getting the Gaza “war crimes” truth out, before the UN lies  
(William A.

The Carbon Tax Charade
Many fossil fuel producers will benefit, while the poor—and the economy—will suffer
Oren Cass

_qZKZEJ1_x8aLZ0q3rAvmTS282Dj5vyIcuSoDlCcx2Ny-bmC5-3YJDi-QtP162IFGBkVnOzNdbBAhoMWdfSqsJW324yqJKW_QpI50atdag=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
.
     (city-journal.org) ~ As the carbon-tax bandwagon gathers steam, some interesting enthusiasts are jumping on board. Last week, six major European oil and gas companies sent the U.N. a letter of support “because,” according to a New York Times editorial, “they realize something must be done.” But who exactly is steering this bandwagon, and who is being taken for a ride? Big energy companies win big from a carbon tax. What’s good for business is often good for society as well, and industry support for a policy is by no means an indictment per se. But here those gains would come at the expense of low-income households and long-term economic growth, while failing to achieve the environmental objectives set out to justify a tax in the first place.
.
     How do companies that produce fossil fuels benefit from a tax on fossil fuels? First, they don’t end up paying it. Most economists expect nearly the entire cost increase to be passed directly on to consumers through higher prices. Second, for many fossil-fuel producers, the tax will increase rather than decrease their business. The largest energy companies are traditionally focused on oil and natural gas. Coal, representing 30 percent of global energy supply and the largest primary fuel for generating electricity, would be badly damaged by a tax. The biggest beneficiary of the damage would be natural gas, which emits less carbon dioxide and would thus face a lower tax. If higher oil prices push consumers away from gasoline and toward electric cars, the electricity for those cars can come from natural gas as well.
.
     Passing costs on to others while maintaining—or even growing—sales will minimize any effects on the industry. Much of the benefit to fossil-fuel producers from a carbon tax will come from a third factor: a fine is a price. That insight is the title of a paper by Uri Gneezy and Aldo Rustichinianalyzing changes in parent behavior at preschools that imposed fines for late pick-ups. Counterintuitively, fines made parents more likely to arrive late. The sense of guilt that had once motivated them to arrive on time was replaced by a sense of permission to pay for the extra minutes of child care.
.
     For energy producers, and all users of fossil fuels, a similar dynamic is at work. If a carbon tax is established at a price that economists and policymakers agree compensates society for the potential dangers of climate change, then anyone who wants to pay the price is implicitly welcome to emit the carbon dioxide. The result would presumably not be an increase in emissions as it was with increased late pick-ups. But paying the tax buys legal, economic, and moral permission for the very activity that the tax is designed to discourage. Energy producers get this benefit without even bearing the burden of the tax.
.
     For the rest of society, perhaps the worst problem with a carbon tax is that it is extraordinarily regressive. Because poorer households spend a much greater share of their income on energy than do wealthier households, the price increases created by a tax eat up a greater share as well. Economists from the Brookings Institution and American Enterprise Institute found that a $15-per-ton carbon tax would cost the bottom 10 percent of households more than 3.5 percent of their income, and most taxes under consideration are two to three times higher. That’s the equivalent of a new income tax of 10 percent for the lowest-income households and 2 percent for the highest-income ones.
.
     A rebate could offset this regressive effect, but sending a monthly check to every American has problems of its own (not least of them the de facto establishment of a guaranteed income). Unfortunately, analyses also consistently show that the economic drag of a new carbon tax could be counteracted only if the revenues from that tax are used to reduce corporate income-tax rates. Take your pick: a carbon tax that hurts the poor or a carbon tax that slows economic growth. Most likely we’ll get a carbon tax that does a little bit of both.
.
     The entire exercise is supposed to be in service of reducing carbon-dioxide emissions and averting climate catastrophe. But the carbon-tax proposals under discussion cannot achieve their emissions-reduction targets, let alone make a noticeable dent in global emissions. Even a global tax—a political non-starter—would fail to push oil and gas prices any higher than they already were several years ago, a time at which environmentalists were hardly sanguine about the future. But once businesses and consumers are paying the “right price” for their emissions, where will the case be for other action?
.
     There are political points to score with a carbon tax, and profits to capture, too. But these won’t benefit society; they will come at its expense.

 The Effect of China's Hack Could Be Staggering 
When the Office of Personnel Management announced that the data of four million past and present federal employees were taken by China, it could have been running damage control. The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union for federal employees, accused OPM of being not forthright about the hack. The union believes China targeted the Central Personnel File and is now in possession of the information of every federal employee, including those who retired and left the government's employ. But it could be much, much worse. An unnamed government official told ABC News China could have targeted the database that stored government employees' SF-86 forms — the 127-page form public workers fill out when they apply for a security clearance. For a malicious government seeking to recruit spies, it's the Holy Grail, as the form asks the applicant to list the applicant's network — the people slept with, the foreign nationals in contact with, family members. We don't yet know what information is in China's hands. But one thing is clear: Big government stands directly opposed to privacy, and by extension, Liberty. This is why the big data that comes with nObamaCare is so insidious. When it comes to cybersecurity, Liberty is America's greatest strength.  -The Patriot Post

 It's Up to Congress to Keep the Internet Tax Free 
The Internet Tax Freedom Act passed the House by voice vote this week, and now heads to the Senate. The best news is that it's a permanent extension. In place since 1998, dinky Harry Reid's Senate only permitted a one-year extension last year because he wanted a hostage for other negotiations. But the law becomes increasingly important in the age of so-called net neutrality (which takes effect today), because it prevents taxation on Internet and email services in America's 9,600 tax jurisdictions. House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte warned that the FCC's decision to regulate the Internet like telecommunications "emboldens states to apply these telecom taxes to Internet access immediately, should ITFA lapse." Goodlatte also laid bare the problem with Internet taxes, saying that granting states such powers would allow "lawmakers to dodge accountability for the burdens associated with their policy choices by shifting them onto non-residents who cannot hold them accountable at the ballot box." Furthermore, he said, "[I]f Congress lets 'economic presence' rather than 'physical presence' become the standard, states will mostly exempt resident companies from tax obligations while imposing them on out-of-state companies." In other words, taxation without representation. For those with any sense of American history, that phrase should ring loud and clear.  -The Patriot Post

 Lessons on Picking Your Identity 
The City of Spokane is investigating a critical matter, and the outcome should be black and white. The president of the city's NAACP chapter likely violated the city's code of ethics because she's actually white. Rachel Dolezal identifies as African-American and has even modified her appearance accordingly. She's also claimed to be the victim of several "hate" crimes. But public records indicate she and both of her parents are white. The obvious comparison is Bruce Jenner, the former male Olympic decathlon champion who now says he's a woman. Many leftists gladly accepted him as a her, even giving him awards for "courage." But while Jenner is affirmed, Dolezal has committed an unforgivable sin by doing pretty much the same thing. Perhaps a less obvious comparison is the example of a prominent man who has a white mother and black father (who abandoned him early on), and yet who identifies solely by the race of his father — well, unless his Irish ancestry happens to be politically beneficial. Any guesses who that might be? Identity sure is an interesting thing with liberal social mores.   -The Patriot Post

 What Exactly Are We Trading in the TPA/TPP?  
It’s a deal that's been in the works since before Barack nObama took office, but as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a free trade pact, is being hammered into shape, some members of Congress — especially Democrats — are reluctant to give nObama the same "fast-track" authority other presidents have had over the last few decades. Specifically, that would happen through the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), the full text of which is here. Some conservatives also have a problem with awarding any authority to this particular chief executive, given his track record of abusing his power on immigration and regulation.
          There’s an argument to be had, however, from conservatives who remind us that free trade is the bailiwick of the Republican Party. George Will leads the charge:

“It is ... unnecessary to defeat fast-track authority (thereby defeating freer trade) in order to restrain this rogue president. The 22nd Amendment guarantees his departure in 19 months. His lawlessness has prompted congressional resistance on multiplying fronts. The judiciary, too, has repeatedly rebuked him for illegal executive overreaches. So, it is neither necessary nor statesmanlike to injure the nation’s future in order to protest nObama’s past.”

There’s also the libertarian free-trade perspective of the Cato Institute:

"Historically, trade agreements have expanded Americans’ economic liberties, even though that outcome has never been the principal objective. It happens residually. Trade negotiators prioritize the export-oriented goals of their business interests and, in the process of reaching those objectives, make Americans more economically free."

In both instances, we're reminded that the process doesn’t end with congressional passage of the TPA, which, in short, grants nObama negotiating power and provides for Congress to then hold an up-or-down vote on whatever agreement nObama makes — without being able to amend it. While nothing is certain in Congress, the House is slated to vote on the TPA legislation today, following the Senate’s passage of the measure last month. (It didn't pass) -The Patriot Post

 Court affidavit confirm Muslim beheading plot against Pamela Geller  
(themuslimissue.wordpress.com) ~ Everywhere we look in the world today with countries merged into poverty, war and strife we see the footmarks of Islam in that conflict. In spite of this thousands of Muslims are being imported into America, into Europe, into Canada, Australia, UK every single year without any discrimination... Those politicians who make this possible need to be charged with treason and face execution for the most dangerous social engineering in modern history. A few days back we reported on Bosnia, and how the country has turned into the criminal and violent cesspool it is today, all due to Islam. And why? Because the non-Muslim Bosnia was too lenient and complacent in removing Muslims right from the start when they began increasing in numbers and trying to force their way into the country. Eventually this acceptance of Muslims and Islam into the country would develop into a disaster, like it always does, with Muslim violence building up and escalating into a civil war that never ends unless they get power. Once Muslims get a footing in the country the worldwide recruiting begins. First as a small trickle effect but as their numbers increase, they have children, more arrive by immigration, the problems also increase. This is why we repeatedly say that the only solution is to deport Muslims, ban them any residency or entry to the West, demolish mosques and ban Islam, ban all visas to Muslims, end all trade with Islamic countries. And definitely end the oil trade which is a constant funding source for terrorism and the spread of Salafism worldwide.        https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/court-affidavit-confirm-muslim-beheading-plot-against-pamela-geller-in-texas/

 Bishop tells West: Defeat ISIS or give Christians asylum

Since the fall of Mosul into ISIS’s hands last summer, the city has been emptied of the thousands of Christians who once resided there.      http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/bishop-pleads-for-west-to-accept-mass-asylum-of-iraqi-christians/

 ISIS, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the West  
(Salim Mansur) ~ In a hard-hitting essay on ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) for The Daily Mail, the 2001 Nobel Prize winning author, V.S. Naipaul, wrote: "ISIS could very credibly abandon the label of Caliphate and call itself the Fourth Reich."... Among the writings on Islam and Muslims in recent years, Naipaul's, as in the books Among the Believers and Beyond Belief, have been perhaps the most incisive and penetrating in exploring the extremist politics of the global Islamist movement from inside of the Muslim world. And that ISIS on a rampage, as Naipaul observed, revived "religious dogmas and deadly rivalries between Sunnis and Shi'as, Sunnis and Jews and Christians is a giant step into darkness." Ever since the relatively obscure Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi stepped forth on the pulpit of the Great Mosque in Mosul, Iraq, on June 28, 2014 to announce the rebirth of the Caliphate (abolished in 1924 by the Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk), with al-Baghdadi himself assuming the title of Caliph Ibrahim, the ruling head of the ummah, or worldwide community of Muslims, many might agree with Naipaul, despite the hyperbole -- he has left out a potentially nuclear Iran -- that "ISIS has to be seen as the most potent threat to the world since the Third Reich."       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5956/isis-saudi-arabia-iran

 Greece: Watching the Wheels Come Off  
(Maria Plizoidou) ~ When you visit Greece, the customs officers will put in your passport the stamp of the Greek Republic. You will see the Greek flag waving at Athens International Airport; taxis waiting for customers, gas stations still in operation and public infrastructure being kept at a mediocre level... This, however, is just an illusion. Greece is a collapsing country. Greece is experiencing the perfect financial, political and social storm: all at the same time, state structures have to deal corruption and serious internal and foreign security problems. It is the ultimate nightmare for every state. Greek banks function not because they can, but because they have to. The Greek state has stopped honoring its financial obligations toward private individuals and enterprises. The state's revenue is enough only for civil servant salaries and pensions. Greece's political system produces more laughter, more enemies and more entropy than it can deal with. The gap between government and governed cannot be bridged by any coalition of political parties. Greek lawmakers look like a cartel of self-centered, corrupt puppets, who manage to survive in their jobs only because they have appointed thousands of their parties' supporters to jobs in the public sector, working as tax collectors, bureaucrats, port and airport workers, gardeners, school guards, and so on. Is the USA becoming a Greece?       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5923/greece-collapse

 Allen West “Something is Wrong”  
(allenwestrepublic.com) ~ Allen West pointed out that ISIS is currently operating in the open with little resistance. “When you look at these pictures of ISIS, and the fact they are having daytime parades through Ramadi, or they’re transiting through these cities in broad daylight, not a cloud in the sky, something is wrong,”... President nObama’s decision to ignore his generals’ recommendations and withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, leaving behind a power vacuum that is being exploited by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), is “probably the greatest military blunder the world will ever know,” Lt. Col. Allen West (Army-Retired) told CNSNews.com. “And I think one of the most important things is the president needs to stand up and be forthright and say he got it wrong. That’s the start to having an effective strategy, is admit that he had it wrong in the first place… Getting it wrong is a president that probably made the greatest military blunder that the world will ever know,” the former congressman said.       http://allenwestrepublic.com/2015/06/13/allen-west-something-is-wrong/

 Veterans ripped off by fake research project  
(Michael Volpe) ~ A Veterans Administration researcher used actors and pressured veterans into participating in a “secret shopper”-style project, and now the House Veteran Affairs Committee is investigating how the agency spent $900,000 for the faked study... The head of the study, Dr. Saul Weiner, professor of medicine, pediatrics and medical education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, admitted actors were hired to portray veterans, according to a letter from the committee chairman, Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo. “The actors wore hidden microphones to capture the physician-patient interaction; feigned symptoms that took real appointment slots from veterans and tied up facility resources, such as lab tests, while health-care professionals sought answers to the actor’s fake maladies,” Coffman said.    http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/veterans-ripped-off-by-fake-research-project/

 Congressman Mike Rogers Introduces Bill to Get U.S. Out of UN  
(Alex Newman) ~ Citing wasted tax dollars and attacks on the constitutionally guaranteed liberties of the American people, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.; shown) introduced a bill to restore U.S. sovereignty and withdraw from the United Nations... The effort to de-fund and exit the UN comes amid growing scrutiny of the global organization, often ridiculed as the “dictators club,” and myriad mega-scandals swirling around it. However, despite ever-growing support in Congress for restoring U.S. sovereignty by withdrawing from the UN over the years, the legislation still faces an uphill battle. In a statement last week announcing the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2015 (H.R. 1205), Rep. Rogers noted that many of his constituents in East Alabama would likely agree with his position that U.S. government participation in the UN should end immediately. “The U.N. continues to prove it’s an inefficient bureaucracy and a complete waste of American tax dollars,” the congressman said, echoing widespread concerns about the international outfit expressed across America and worldwide.       http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/21058-congressman-mike-rogers-introduces-bill-to-get-u-s-out-of-un

 Russia China Pact with Snowden in the Middle  
(Denise Simon) ~ Going beyond the major hack by China into the Office of Personnel Management that cultivated at least 14 million personnel files of government, intelligence and military, China is building a database of individuals in America... Would they share it with Russia? The wake of destruction is yet to be known and future predictions are impossible to imagine. Russia is turning to China and likewise China is delighted for the relationship as proven by the Silk Road Economic objectives. Putin’s vision of a ‘greater Europe’ from Lisbon to Vladivostok, made up of the European Union and the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union, is being replaced by a ‘greater Asia’ from Shanghai to St. Petersburg.       http://www.trevorloudon.com/2015/06/russia-china-pact-with-snowden-in-the-middle/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewZeal+%28New+Zeal+Blog%29

The Federal Government is the Problem
.
Burt_Header_M2.jpg
.
     (burtprelutsky.com) ~ Ronald Reagan was right when he stated that the federal government is not the solution and again when he said that the nine scariest words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
.
     Having said all that, I do not share the fears of a great many on the Right who apparently lie awake nights worrying about the NSA listening in on their phone calls. From my earlier defense of the National Security Agency, I know that a number of my readers disagree. So be it. When push comes to shove, I prefer siding with Charles Krauthammer andJohn Bolton to sharing Rand Paul’s paranoia.
.
     For one thing, even if nObama and his stooges wanted to listen in on a few billion phone calls a day, I don’t believe they are up to the task. But it does make me somewhat envious of all you folks who are having all those fascinating phone calls that you imagine others are dying to tune in on. For my part, anyone tapping my line will, ninety-nine times out of 100, hear me hanging up on a telemarketer who has just addressed me as Mr. Potsky.
.
     Those who are vehemently opposed to the government’s collecting phone numbers and the length of calls will often point out that so far as we know, not a single terrorist attack on America has been foiled by the NSA. But it should be obvious that if any had been, the feds wouldn’t go around bragging about it, lest the bad guys tracked down and eliminated the weak link in their communication system.
.
     More to the point, although a great many Americans have been harassed by the IRS, the EPA and the Justice Department, under nObama, no citizen has come forward to state that his privacy has been intruded upon by the NSA. And we all know that if anyone’s Fourth Amendment rights had been violated, the NY Times would have splashed the news across its front page and Rand Paul would have highlighted it during one of his weekly filibusters.
.
     ♦ None of this should be taken as an endorsement of nObama and his approach to national security. So far, after six years in office, he has shown that the only use he has for the military is as a prop when he occasionally addresses the cadets at West Point or when he wants to do battle with Ebola or global warming.
.
     Many pundits have pointed out that nObama has no strategy when it comes to fighting those who are massacring Christians, women and children, in the Middle East and North Africa and who have sworn to kill Americans. That’s not true. He has a strategy. It’s called non-engagement.
.
     Like most liberals, he is opposed to warfare and despises those who wear the uniform. Like hanoi John Kerry, who dismissed those in the military as people too dumb to go to college, nObama hates people who wear guns to work, unless, of course, they’re protecting his sorry ass. It helps to explain his contempt for cops and for those of us who support them.
.
     Some people believe his mantra of “No boots on the ground” is because he’s a Muslim or at least sympathetic to them. But he is equally unwilling to confront Putin’s aggression. Does anyone think it’s because he’s Russian Orthodox and was born in Minsk?
.
     If anyone is going to oppose the barbarians, nObama wants the Saudis, the Qataris and the Jordanians, to do it. But as we’ve seen in Iraq, that doesn’t work out too well. At the first sign of ISIS, the Iraqi forces we’ve been training for a dozen years, turned tail and ran. If we have reason to fear ISIS or Iran, for that matter, we should stop relying on cut-throats and back-stabbers to do our killing for us, and we should forget about nation-building. We used to think that nobody could be worse than the likes of Gadhafi, Mubarak, Hussein and the Shah of Iran. But those creeps knew how to keep the Islamic radicals in line, and we now realize that those were the good old days.
.
     The problems with our jobbing out the fighting to Arabs and Muslims is, one, we can’t tell our friends from our enemies and, two, they not only run, but they leave our weapons behind to be used by our foes. It’s like a weird kind of Middle East quiz show, where the parting gifts consist of American trucks, tanks and artillery.
.
     I hate nObama, but let’s face it, the schmuck didn’t vote for himself 70 million times. For the past 240 years, our military has protected us from our mortal enemies. But in the end, it couldn’t protect us from ourselves.
.
     ♦ Most of us look at Detroit and we see the inevitable result of decades of liberal leadership. It is what always happens when millions of people sign up to be dependents of the city, state and federal, governments, eager to surrender their backbones and their votes in exchange for a welfare check. Most of us look at Detroit and feel compassion or disgust or a combination of the two. Baltimore, however, looks at Detroit and the message seems to be “If they can do it, we can do it.”
.
     ♦ One is accustomed to hearing that practice makes perfect, but Congress continues to disprove that notion. All they do all day is vote, but they are obviously as bad at it as those of us who only vote every few years. But the louts we vote for are essentially only running against one other person, limiting our choices to either a Republican or a Democrat.
.
     But what possible excuse do these people have for electing and re-electing the likes of dinky Harry Reid, Nancy Pulosi, Mitch McCon-nell and backstabber John Boehner? On the face of it, the four of them have nothing to recommend them for leadership positions. They are all physically unattractive and, even when reading scripts, are deadly dull and unpersuasive. And yet their colleagues keep selecting them to be the face and voice of their respective parties.
.
     ♦ In other news, while addressing the Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, D.C.. recently, nObama said, “Earlier this week, I was actually interviewed by one of your members, Jeff Goldberg, and he reminded me that he once called me ‘the first Jewish President.’ Now, since some people still seem to be wondering about my faith, I should make clear this was an honorary title. But I was flattered.”
.
     Inasmuch as even in 2012, roughly 70% of the Jewish vote went to nObama in spite of his pandering to Iran, his refusal to take up arms against the Muslims or even to identify Islam as the existential enemy of Israel and the U.S. -- and that the Jews at the Synagogue gave him a number of standing ovations -- there’s no question he deserves the title. But, speaking as a Jew, it’s hardly flattering.
.
     ♦ The art world, being what it is, it’s not the least bit surprising that the latest sensation is an artist-vandal named Katsu who, working in the medium of feces, has been painting the likes of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
.
     It seems to me that in a rational world, he would be commissioned to start painting presidential portraits.

 SHADOWBOXING DEMS SET IOWA EXHIBITION 
Like a lopsided heavyweight bout, the Democratic Party knows that staging a primary battle where the challengers are likely to go down in the first round means pumping up the sparring events. Hence word that Hilly Clinton and rivals Martin O’MalleyBernie Sanders and Jim Webb will share the stage at the 2015 Iowa Democratic Party Hall of Fame Celebration July 17 in Cedar Rapids. In contrast to numerous Republican multi-candidate events in the state, the Cedar Rapids gathering will be the first where the Democratic contenders will appear together, according to Iowa Democratic Party spokesman Sam Lau.
          [On his second trip to Iowa since announcing his candidacy, Martin O’Malley has a trio of events in the Hawkeye State today. Bernie Sanders begins a two day tour on Friday. Jim Webb heads to Iowa next week]

That led to a discussion of raccoon hunting and guns before they reached agreement on the trade bill, King said.”

 Islamic State: The Myth of a Baathist 'Hidden Hand'  
(Aymenn Jawad al-Tamini) ~ Since the full-blown revival of Iraq's Sunni insurgency at the beginning of 2014, there has been much misunderstanding of the relationship between the Islamic State and insurgents of Baathist orientation, principally represented by the Jaish Rijaal al-Tariqa al-Naqshabandiyya(JRTN)... Much of the discourse on this subject attempts to tie the JRTN to the Islamic State, arguing that a so-called "alliance of convenience" between the two groups has been key to the Islamic State's maintenance of power in areas outside of government control. Linked to this theme is the portrayal of the Islamic State as somehow Baathism reincarnated, most commonly noting the former careers that many leading figures in the group had in the security apparatus of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's government. As such, it is worthwhile to trace the relationship between the JRTN and the Islamic State from the initial emergence of the former until the present day, primarily focusing on the aftermath of the United States' military withdrawal from Iraq at the end of 2011, in order to highlight that the common notion of the "alliance of convenience" is mistaken and that there is a clear dividing line between the two groups.       http://www.meforum.org/5312/isis-baathist-hidden-hand

 nObama’s Marxist Social and Demographic Engineering of America  
(Terresa Monroe-Hamilton) ~ nObama is now making offers to debt-ridden municipalities that they dare not take. It’s like the devil offering you a way out and then collecting on that debt. Or, if you prefer, it’s like the mafia giving you money to solve your problems and then you owe them. Forever... The leaders in these areas won’t ask the residents and voters, they’ll let the silver cross their palms and will be blinded by the shininess of the coin they pocket. Corruption will finish selling free America down the proverbial river. I’ll be blunt… these municipalities should not be taking money from the feds. They should solve their problems at the local level, stand on their own and not be beholding to a governmental behemoth. Under the guise of nObama’s Utopia, our president has been plotting for years the ultimate wealth redistribution here in America. It’s Marxist social and demographic engineering on a breathtaking scale. I believe this is the most insidious thing he has planned for us and it is a killer.       http://www.trevorloudon.com/2015/06/obamas-marxist-social-and-demographic-engineering-of-america/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewZeal+%28New+Zeal+Blog%29

 U.S. Agrees to Let Iran Keep Nuke Secrets

While senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of State hanio John Kerry, have long insisted that Iran will immediately have to submit to wide-ranging inspections and disclosures regarding its past nuclear work, the new reports indicate that this demand has been cast aside as world powers work to strike a final deal with the Islamic Republic by the end of June. I wonder if anyone saw this coming?

It was the fourth successful test of the Wu-14 in the past 18 months and the frequency of tests is being viewed by U.S. intelligence analysts as an indicator of the high priority placed on developing the weapon by the Chinese.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/china-conducts-fourth-test-of-wu-14-strike-vehicle/

 6 Yemeni jihadis at Guantanamo Bay sent to Oman  
(Robert Spencer) ~ It was the first movement of detainees out of Guantanamo in five months as Congress considers new restrictions on transfers... The six men boarded a flight Friday from the U.S. facility in Cuba, and their transfer reduced Guantanamo’s population to 116. President Barack nObama has now transferred more than half the 242 detainees who were at Guantanamo when he was sworn into office in 2009 after campaigning to close it. But he is far from achieving that goal. With just a year and a half left in his second term, final transfer approvals are coming slowly from the Pentagon and lawmakers are threatening to make movement out even harder.        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/06/6-yemeni-jihadis-at-guantanamo-bay-sent-to-oman

 Noura Erakat Wages Lawfare on Israel  
(Cinnamon Stillwell) ~ Since the 2014 Gaza war, proponents of lawfare have sought to use the International Criminal Court to punish Israel for daring to respond militarily to Hamas’s unrelenting aggression... Noura Erakat, an assistant professor in legal and international studies at George Mason University and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, presented her case in a recent talk atStanford University titled, “War on Gaza in the Age of Human Rights: Prospects for Accountability.” The niece of Palestinian Authority (P.A.) chief negotiator Saeb Erakat, Erakat’s tone was calm and measured, her demeanor pleasant, and her partisanship unmistakable, even when couched in the dispassionate language of international human rights law. Seated in a conference room before an audience of approximately forty, many of them fellow academics, Erakat began by noting that because this was “not a legal audience,” she would depart from her planned presentation and instead focus on “setting the framework for the lead-up” to the war and on providing “the legal and political context” for the situation in Gaza. These people are really sick.

 Pacific Ocean off California Coast Turning into Desert-Like Dead Zone  
(worldtruth.tv) ~ It’s anyone’s guess why temperatures in the Pacific Ocean are heating up off the coast of Southern California. Is a natural El Niño effect occurring, or is there something more sinister happening under the blue ocean waters... Off the coast of California, drastic signs of a rapidly changing Pacific Ocean are cropping up. Warmer currents have forced species of fish away from the coast. A massive fish migration, coupled with typical overfishing, has led to dwindling populations of key species like sardines, oysters, shellfish, scallops and krill. As the aquatic species move away from the coast in search of a better habitat, the sentinel California sea lion population is suffering. In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that more than 3,000 sea lion pups have become stranded in 2015. The Marine Mammal Center is sending out veterinarians to rescue the stranded sea lions so they can be nursed back to health.        http://worldtruth.tv/pacific-ocean-off-california-coast-turning-into-desert-like-dead-zone/

(Tim Brown) ~ Many of you are familiar with Billy and Karen Vaughn, parents of fallen Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn who died on board Extortion 17 in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011... Well, as a result of the tragedy they faced in their lives, God has given them a platform to speak out on the corruption of this current administration across the nation. And they are still doing it! The Vaughns have been speaking to Tea Parties all across the country and they are looking to get into churches to speak to them as well. They have warned that the greatest threat to America resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Billy has pointed out the demoralization of the Special Forces under Barack nObama, as well as taken former Defense Secretary Robert Gates to task for his silence during his time in office, but cashing in when it came to a book he published.       http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/06/extortion-17-parents-still-getting-the-word-out-about-the-scandal-thats-bigger-than-benghazi/

 While media blames Pamela Geller for 1,400 years of Jihad...  
(themuslimissue.wordpress.com) ~ This is absolute insanity. Pamela Geller is being blamed for receiving Muslim death threats. Muslims have been threatening to behead people for 1,400 years, long before Pamela Geller ever existed... If the government doesn’t protect Geller – then they won’t protect anyone else either; your children, your family, your future, and the would deserve nothing but violent opposition. The vile and revolting dhimmitude the media has shown to this topic, trying to imply that Geller is somehow responsible for the attempted Texas attack shows how delusional people are about Islam. Pamela Geller did not invent Jihad. Jihad is 1,400 years old. It did not begin in Texas on May 3rd. Cartoons did not create Jihad. Islam created Jihad. There is nothing that we, non-Muslims, can do that does not offend Muslims. Being dressed without the black gallon sack is offensive to them. Democracy is offensive to them. Being friendly with each other, from different ages, genders, status is offensive to them. Celebrating Valentine’s to honor those you love is offensive to Muslims. Love is offensive to them. Freedom is offending them. America itself is deeply offensive to them. Women liberated to make up their own mind is offensive to them. If you don’t submit, surrender and permit Islam to rule over you – you are provoking Muslims and they are offended. In other words, every single non-Muslim and ex-Muslim provokes them and aggravates them, according to their way of seeing the world.      https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/while-media-blames-pamela-geller-for-1400-years-of-jihad-muslims-share-her-personal-address-on-twitter/

The case for Israel 
is rooted in more than security

     (jewishworldreview.com) ~ Noses went out of joint and knickers got in a twist when Israel's new deputy foreign minister delivered her inaugural speech to the Jewish state's diplomatic corps.
.
     "We need to get back to the basic truth of our right to this land," said Tzipi Hotovely, who is running the foreign ministry's day-to-day operations, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu retains the title of foreign minister. The land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, she declared, and their claim to it is as old as the Bible. "It's important to say this" when making Israel's case before the world, and not to focus solely on Israel's security interests. Of course security is a profound concern, Hotovely observed, but arguments grounded in justice, morality, and deep historical rights are stronger. She even quoted the medieval Jewish sage Rashi, who wrote that Genesis opens with God's creation of the world to preempt any subsequent charge that the Jewish claim to the land was without merit.
.
     Needless to say, Hotovely's message was scorned on the left as primitive zealotry. "Her remarks raised eyebrows among many in the audience," the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported. One diplomat said his colleagues "were in shock" at the suggestion that they should cite the Torah when advocating for Israel abroad.
.
     Diplomacy is not Bible class. Yet why should Israel and its envoys shrink from making the fullest defense of Jewish rights in what was always the Jewish homeland? Though modern Zionism didn't arise as a political movement until the 1800s, the land of Israel has always been at the core of Jews' national consciousness. Even during 19 centuries of exile, Jewish life in Israel (renamed "Palestine" by the Romans) never ceased. In all those years, no other people ever claimed the land as their country, or built it into their own nation-state.
.
     Jewish sovereignty wasn't regained by downplaying the historical and religious bonds linking the Jews to the land. World leaders and opinion-makers didn't regard those links with patronizing disdain; many found them intensely compelling.
.
     In 1891, alarmed by reports of Jews being massacred in Russia, hundreds of prominent Americans signed a petition urging the restoration of Palestine to Jewish rule. "According to G0D's distribution of nations it is their home, an inalienable possession from which they were expelled by force," declared the petition, among whose signatories were the chief justice of the Supreme Court, the speaker of the House of Representatives, future President William McKinley, and scores of influential industrialists, bankers, educators, and journalists. (One of them was Charles H. Taylor, the first publisher of the Boston Globe).
.
     Twenty-five years later, when Britain famously committed itself to "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people," its motives were not only strategic and pragmatic, but religious. Prime Minister David Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour spoke feelingly of Jewish history. "I could tell you all the kings of Israel," Lloyd George said, recalling his school days, "but I doubt whether I could have named half a dozen of the kings of England."
.
     President Woodrow Wilson, whose father was a Presbyterian minister, also endorsed the Zionist cause. "To think," he later exclaimed, "that I, the son of the manse, should be able to help restore the Holy Land to its people!" Still more enchanted with the revival of Jewish governance in the Jewish homeland was Harry Truman, whose lifelong study of the Bible strengthened his conviction that the Jews had a legitimate historical right to Palestine.

.
     The immemorial Jewish bond with the land is even enshrined in international law. When the League of Nations set the terms of the Mandate for Palestine in 1922, it unanimously recognized "the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" and the justice of "reconstituting their national home in that country." It was essential, wrote Winston Churchill at the time, to stress that the Jews were "in Palestine as of right and not on sufferance," and that the Jewish national home there "be formally recognized to rest upon ancient historic connection."
.
     Israel has gained nothing from its unwillingness to vigorously assert the Jewish claim to the land as a matter of historical justice and biblical legitimacy. It has only made it easier for its enemies to promote a false narrative of Zionist aggression and illegal occupation. Hotovely may have "raised eyebrows" in exhorting Israel's diplomats to focus unapologetically on Jewish rights and history, but the record is clear: Those are the arguments that have always gained the most traction.
.
     To repeat: Diplomacy isn't Bible class. But the strongest case for Israel is rooted in something more transcendent than security. Even now, according to the Pew Research Center, 44 percent of American adults — and 55 percent of American Christians — believe that Jews have a God-given right to the land of Israel. A backward superstition? On the contrary. The Jewish nation's ties to its homeland are an enduring element of the human story, and an asset that Israel underrates at its peril.

 FBI on Mass Shooting Report: Yeah, We Made It Up 
Last fall, we noted that the FBI used bogus stats in its pre-election mass shooting report. Researchers counted some mass shootings that weren't "mass" at all, and entirely omitted actual mass shootings that occurred early in the carefully selected timeframe. All of it was an effort to show an increasing trend of "gun violence" since 2000, we suspect in concert with Democrat campaign talking points about the necessity of gun control. The Wall Street Journal's Jason Riley picked up on a quiet announcement that, indeed, the researchers pretty much made it up: "[L]ate last week, J. Pete Blair and M. Hunter Martaindale, two academics at Texas State University who co-authored the FBI report, acknowledged that 'our data is imperfect.' They said that the news media 'got it wrong' last year when they 'mistakenly reported mass shootings were on the rise.' Mind you, the authors did not issue this mea culpa in the major news outlets that supposedly misreported the original findings. Instead, the authors published it in ACJS Today, an academic journal published by the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. 'Because official data did not contain the information we needed, we had to develop our own,' wrote Messrs. Blair and Martaindale. 'This required choices between various options with various strengths and weaknesses.' You don't say." The truth is the number of mass shootings has remained essentially flat for the last 40 years, while violent crime has dropped significantly in the last decade as firearm ownership has grown. But that doesn't fit the leftist agenda.  -The Patriot Post

 Damaging Overtime Pay Regulation in the Works 
The Department of Labor is preparing to unveil a revision to America's overtime compensation rule called for by Barack nObama last year. Unfortunately, it's entirely the wrong prescription for even the best economy — let alone our still ailing one. Heritage Foundation research fellow James Sherk writes, "Reports indicate the Department plans to require overtime for any salaried employee making less than $45,000 to $52,000 a year." That's significantly higher than what the current law requires, and though it may not sound like a big deal the repercussions are far fetched— impacting everything from base salaries to scheduling and office flexibility. As Sherk explains, "Economists have studied how businesses respond to overtime requirements. They find that overtime doesn't affect workers' total pay or hours much. Instead, businesses offset new overtime costs with lower base wages." Moreover, he says, "[T]he overtime regulations will have a major unintended side effect: They will force entry- and mid-level salaried employees to track their hours." That means more micromanaging, and many employers will nix work-from-home options altogether to avoid lawsuits. Just like minimum wage laws, this new rule may seem like a good idea at first glance, but the results are economically damaging.   -The Patriot Post

 Fly the EPA's Unfriendly Skies 
This isn't simply the Environmental Protection Agency slapping more regulation on the American economy. The EPA released a report Wednesday claiming that jet engines endanger human health, opening the door for regulation. And no, we're not talking chemtrails here. But the EPA would not be issuing its own regulation. Instead, it would look to adopt regulation developed by the United Nation's International Civil Aviation Organization that would require some aircraft engines manufactured after 2020 to conform to "green" regulation. "The U.S. transportation sector is a significant contributor to total U.S. and global anthropogenic GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions," said the EPA's regulatory announcement. "Aircraft remain the single largest GHG-emitting transportation source not yet subject to GHG standards in the U.S." The announcement went on to say U.S. aircraft contribute to only 0.5% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Is it worth it for the U.S. to regulate an industry, control its innovation and adopt regulation from a global governing body to deal with just one fraction of the effort needed to supposedly prevent global temperatures from rising by 0.001 degree? There's a fallacy in ecofascism: They think humans are in control of nature. More...  -The Patriot Post

 Muzzling Both Guns and Speech 
Given Barack nObama’s contempt for the Second Amendment — after all, an armed citizenry is the last line of defense against a tyrannical government — it’s little wonder that a proposed rule relating to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) governing the export of certain "defense articles" is raising concerns.
          The rule, published in the June 3 issue of the Federal Register, proposes to regulate speech — including online speech — relating to firearms and to require government approval before individuals can share certain information publicly. Penalties for violations climb as high as $1 million or 20 years in jail.
          Specifically, the proposed rule rewrites key definitions in ITAR, including “technical data,” “public domain” and “export.” Currently under ITAR, any weapons-related information that is in the “public domain” can be shared without penalty. However, now that the age of technology has thrown a wrinkle into the meaning of “public domain,” the government feels the need to “clarify.” At first glance, the clarification sounds well and good, as the rule states, “Except as set forth in paragraph (b) of this section, unclassified information and software are in the public domain, and are thus not technical data or software subject to the ITAR, when they have been made available to the public without restrictions upon their further dissemination.”  -The Patriot Post

 Al Jazeera Misogynistic, Deliberately Pushing Anti-U.S., Anti-Israel  
(investigativeproject.org) ~ Shannon High-Bassalik is not a journalist who buries the lead. In a federal discrimination lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Thursday against her former employers at Al Jazeera America (AJA), High-Bassalik starts by saying the network quickly abandoned its stated mission of providing "unbiased, fact-based, in-depth stories of U.S. and international news."... Her experience shows a network "where truth and objectivity are set aside to cater to the Company's pro-Arabic prejudices," the lawsuit says. "As ratings failed to live up to the expectations of management, Al Jazeera openly decided to abandon all pretense of neutrality in favor of putting the Arabic viewpoint front and center, openly demanding that programs be aired that criticized countries such as America, Israel and Egypt." The government in Qatar bought the cable news out let to bring "the Arabic viewpoint to America," employees were told. Concerns about the reporting bias were turned away, often angrily.       http://www.investigativeproject.org/4879/lawsuit-al-jazeera-america-misogynistic

 There goes the neighborhood…  
(Tim Devaney) ~ The nObama administration is moving forward with regulations designed to help diversify America’s wealthier neighborhoods, drawing fire from critics who decry the proposal as executive overreach in search of an “unrealistic utopia.”... A final Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule due out this month is aimed at ending decades of deep-rooted segregation around the country. The regulations would use grant money as an incentive for communities to build affordable housing in more affluent areas while also taking steps to upgrade poorer areas with better schools, parks, libraries, grocery stores and transportation routes as part of a gentrification of those communities.       http://www.1776coalition.com/featured-content/there-goes-the-neighborhood?advD=1434,74101

 ISIS terrorists using chaotic Libya as new ‘route to the West’  
(Adam Housley) ~ Islamic State terrorists are said to be using Libya ‎as an "entry point" into Europe, with intelligence sources on the ground in Africa telling Fox News at least 30 ISIS fighters who left from the country have been "picked up" by the Italians in recent weeks... The purported terrorists all claimed refugee status but American ‎and European agents believe this is a clear indication that ISIS terrorists have come into Europe virtually untouched. "There is no way you can block it,” one told Fox News. “Libya is now an easy entry point into the E.U. and ultimately into the U.S. for ISIS. They are saying, this is the way to America." Here they come people and this presz is just setting on his butt and not calling them what they are really are.       http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/12/sources-isis-terrorists-using-chaotic-libya-west/

 nObamatrade Immigration Relax Standards for Turkey and Pakistan  
(Mark Horne) ~ Turkey and Pakistan are part of the Trade In Services Agreement and will get easier immigration rules. What could go wrong?... As I wrote yesterday, the Wikileaks documents show that the TISA alters immigration rules according to Breitbart’s report. They give the president more authority over immigration. But I had missed some of the implications because I did not think about who was part of the agreements. The constant mention of the “Trans Pacific Partnership” kept me focused on countries on the Pacific Rim. But TISA includes countries that don’t touch the Pacific Ocean at all.       http://politicaloutcast.com/2015/06/obamatrade-immigration-rules-relax-standards-for-turkey-and-pakistan/

 Explosive Three-Minute Video Could Be The Final Nail In Hilly’s Coffin

 State Department Has No Record of Clinton IT Security Training  
(Lachlan Markay) ~ The State Department has no record of former Secretary Hilly Clinton or her two top aides receiving IT security training while Clinton led the department, the Washington Free Beacon has learned... In response to a Freedom of Information request filed by the nonprofit Competitive Enterprise Institute in March, State said it could not locate any record of Clinton, chief of staff Cheryl Mills, or deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin undergoing any sort of IT security training. “One former, senior executive branch personnel official contacted me to point out the requirement that appointees take this training, and that if Mses. Clinton, Abedin or Mills had deigned to follow the law, a record of this would exist,” explained CEI senior fellow Chris Horner, who filed the FOIA request. This is unbelievable.

 Climate Alarmists Screamed Just A Little Too Loud

Then, when the Earth didn’t cooperate with scamming in that direction, Al Gore and company simply changed the alarmist message toglobal warming. Once it became apparent that warming wasn’t going to work out either, the boogie man became climate change, where anything and everything that is a natural occurrence can be blamed on people. As recently as 2008, on ABC News, this video depicted life today. Of course, things are much worse in the video than they actually are, as once again planning doesn’t ensure catastrophic success.

 EPA boss threatens to come knocking on doors

"If you are selling to somebody a product, and you can assure them that that product was produced in the most environmentally responsible way, I will guarantee you that they will value that product more highly," McCarthy said at the 2015 GreenGov symposium at George Washington University in Washington. "I can guarantee you because if they don't, I'm going to knock on their door and I'm going to tell them why they are mistaken," McCarthy said, pointing at the audience.       http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/epa-boss-threatens-to-come-knocking-on-doors/article/2566032

 This is What We Think Happened With nObamaTrade Today and...  
(libertynews.com) ~ For starters, nObamaTrade is not dead. It wasn’t killed in the House today. Not at all. In fact, the TPA was passed. The TPA was previously thought to have been the most challenging part of the package... In order for the entire nObamaTrade package to work, the House had to pass both the TAA and the TPA. The TAA is legislation that spends big money compensating workers for lost jobs (Unemployment) and other social welfare programs (among other things). In short, the TAA is what Democrats get/want and the TPA is what Republicans get/want. But backstabber Boehner is backstabber Boehner. And if there is one thing backstabber Boehner is good at, it’s helping Democrats spend more of our money. backstabber Boehner wasn’t about to let Democrats hold TPA hostage over their desire to see more money spent. So immediately after TAA failed, backstabber Boehner called for a vote on TPA. backstabber Boehner knew he had the votes for TPA and he knew that as long as TPA was passed, he could fatten the deal on TAA and bring it back to Democrats next week for another vote. Which is exactly what he did. So now TAA is likely to come back for a vote on Tuesday with a heck of a lot more spending that will help get unions back in the corner of their Democrat allies. If backstabber Boehner can get Democrats to support TAA, the deal is done and nObamaTrade lives on.   http://libertynews.com/2015/06/this-is-what-we-think-happened-with-obamatrade-today-and-why-we-think-it-will-be-worse-now/

     (peggynoonan.com) ~ On the matter of Hilly Clinton’s candidacy I find myself holding opposite and irreconcilable views: “That can’t possibly work,” and “She’s inevitable.”
.
     Her candidacy can’t work because of the deep, daily cascade of scandals that would disqualify anyone else. State Department emails on private servers, stonewalling Congress; the family foundation that appears to function in part as a high-class slush fund and that, this week we learned, paid a significant salary to that beacon of philanthropic spirit Sidney Blumenthal, a political operative and conspiracist whose nickname in the Clinton White House was “G.K.,” for “Grassy Knoll.” Also this week these headlines: “Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals from Hilly Clinton’s State Department,” and “FIFA Donated Thousands to Clinton Foundation.” FIFA of course is the international soccer organization under criminal investigation for bribes and kickbacks.
.
     It is simply unbelievable that a person whose way of operating is so famously and chronically sketchy can be chosen as president. Her policy judgments throughout her career will come under question. She is good at politics in terms of how she perceives the game and generally makes decisions within it—good enough to be an almost certain presidential nominee. Yet she is charmless on the stump and seems always to be hiding something in interviews. In speeches she continues to do strange things, such as speaking with a Southern accent this week in South Carolina.
.
     Why does she do that? Is she trolling the press? They know she hates them. A friend who is a veteran journalist recently explained why. In the late 1980s and early ’90s Hilly knew the boomer press was on the Clintons’ side ideologically and culturally—they were Democrats, and often friends. But she was surprised over the years to learn that didn’t mean they were on the team. They reported the couple’s scandals, wrote critical articles and books. She felt, and feels, betrayed. She thought they were friends, and thought that meant fealty. It’s not a plus to have a distanced, unfriendly relationship with journalists. (Republicans, on the other hand, can generally operate without such personal bitterness. They never had the illusion the press was on their side.)
.
Here is why Mrs. Clinton is inevitable:
.
     In five of the past six presidential elections, the Democrats have won the popular vote. They enjoy certain locked-in advantages. The party itself is united and wholly organized around the idea of winning. (There is, however, a sense that its best talents have been exhausted in the two nObama terms, and its rising talents haven’t had the chance to learn what losers know.) Mrs. Clinton has 100% name ID, has one opponent in an old socialist to whom she can be publicly kind, and is connected to a former president whose presidency is looked back on with a sort of encrusted nostalgia—good economy, relative peace, colorful and singular messes. She has lasted long enough to go from wide-shouldered yuppie with angry blond hair to cooing grandmother. Soon they’ll be calling her “Mami.”
.
     The polls show that even at this low point in her campaign, with the daily scandal cascade, she continues to beat all GOP comers. This week’s Quinnipiac survey shows her leading the closest Republican challengers, Rand Paul (46% to 42%) and Marco Rubio (45% to 41%). Republicans take comfort that this world-famous, unopposed icon is under 50%. I’m not so sure.
.
     But this is interesting. Somehow the polls recently have failed to spot rising conservative tides—in Britain in May, in Israel in March and in the U.S. last November. Maybe pollsters are all watching MSNBC and the BBC and operating within a constantly reinforcing thought-loop. Maybe they suffer from epistemic closure.
.
     Most interestingly—and this is what political scientists call “the part that makes you want to shoot yourself”—Quinnipiac reports a majority of voters do not feel Mrs. Clinton is “honest and trustworthy.” They made that judgment by a margin of 52% to 39%. That means a good portion of those who support Mrs Clinton do not believe she can be trusted to tell them the truth. The nice way to think of that is: “Americans sure are over the heroic conception of the presidency!” Another nice way: “Americans shrewdly pick presidents based not on personal virtues but on other qualities, such as experience and ideological predisposition.”
.
     A less nice way is: “Wow, you’d vote for someone even you don’t believe? You might want to trust a president when the nukes begin to fall. What’s wrong with you?”
.
     On the GOP side, elite opinion has started talking about how two dozen candidates are careening around in a big messy jumble. They say it will wind up like 2012, “a clown-car Indy 500 with cars hitting the wall and guys in wigs littering the track,” as someone noted then.
.
     But that’s not how I see it this time. It is an impressive and largely accomplished field. Almost all in it might be reasonable presidents—oh, how nObama has lowered the bar!—maybe half would probably be good, and a quarter very good. Soon John Kasich, with one of the best résumés of any candidate ever—18 years in the House, six of them as Budget Committee chairman, and two terms as governor of Ohio, re-elected by an astounding 31 points—will likely declare. I don’t know if he knows where the base is, but he seems to know where America is.
.
     And they are all talking serious issues. A few weeks ago it was Mr. Rubio at the Council on Foreign Relations. This week on “Morning Joe,” Mr. Paul tackled who and what caused ISIS. Some see the question as the pointless picking at a scab, but it may help get us back to essential questions: What assumptions should govern our choices in the Mideast, what have we learned, how do we separate the crucial from the important?
.
     It would be nice if Mrs. Clinton spoke on such matters. Instead she continues her listening tour. She’s been on many of them over the years; it’s how she likes to campaign. But what is she listening for? What is she trying to hear? She’s been in politics 40 years; she knows what she thinks. It’s not really a listening tour; it’s a say-nothing-and-nod-empathetically tour. It would be nice if attendees—if they could get past the vetting—would start saying surprising things to which she could nod. “The French Revolution was bad!” Empathetic nod. “Why worry about stupid Christians who don’t have the brains to move out of the Mideast?” Empathetic nod, finger on chin, eyes narrowed in the Thinking Look. “Broad amnesty would worsen chronic unemployment and is in that sense a way of giving up, and on our own people, many of whom were blasted out of manufacturing jobs by globalist hacks in Washington—but it will keep wages down, give you a feeling of creamy moral goodness and nail down the Hispanic vote, so all good, right?” Relatable nod, followed by blinking get-me-out-of-here look.
.
They could force her to be forthcoming by finding out what she’d nod to.

 Eastwood 'Mocks' Jenner, Hollywood Uproar Ensues 
Iconic actor Clint Eastwood made the terrible mistake of stepping outside the bounds of political correctness during the taping of Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards. The self-described libertarian, who has been in Hollywood timeout ever since he eviscerated Barack nObama in his illustrious "empty chair" rendition at the 2012 Republican National Convention, was introducing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson when he made an obscure — or what the Left media is calling "insensitive" — reference to Bruce Caitlyn Jenner. According to HollywoodLife.com, Eastwood "compared the San Andreas star to former athletes who have become actors, like 'Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody.'" The audience didn't find it very funny, and neither did Spike TV. The network says it "will remove the reference in the version that will air" June 18. Aside from the obvious question — what exactly was so derogatory about Eastwood's remark? — there lies a double standard. Liberals thought it was hilarious when Barack nObama used the "lipstick on a pig" reference against Team McCain in 2008, and they smirk every time Democrats describe right-wingers as terrorists, to name just a couple. In other words, not only must we call Bruce a girl, but we must not make fun of him or any other protected class; meanwhile, the Right is fair game.  -The Patriot Post

CONGRESSMAN, YOU’VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO 
Did you hear the one about the Democratic congressman who compared Marco Rubio to Ricky Ricardo? Probably not, unless you were glued to The Weekly Standard’s blog. But that really happened. For any Millennials who are reading, Ricardo was the character played by Desi Arnaz on “I Love Lucy.” He was a broad, mostly unflattering ethnic stereotype – a hot-tempered Cuban bandleader who would become outraged at his wife’s zany antics. Arnaz was something of a sex symbol, but certainly played his ethnicity for laughs.
          Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisc., had nasty lines for nearly everyone in the GOP field, comparing Chris Christie to Jabba the Hutt, etc. Pocan at least knew enough to avoid Ben Carson. But let’s just flip this Rubio bit around and try it on for size. Imagine if a Republican congressman in 2007 had suggested then-Sen. Barack nObama should be played by J.J. “Kid Dy-no-mite” Evans from “Good Times.”
          Rubio’s campaign is still swinging hard against the New York Times story exploring his topsy-turvy finances prior to his national rise, honing in on the paper’s miscasting as a luxury speedboat the $80,000 fishing boat Rubio bought. But here’s a more profound outrage on which to drum. Perhaps Ted Cruz can be brought in for a consultation.
          For extra credit in your next class on “The Social Construction of Whiteness,” here’s a question to pose to your professor: Is the New York Times’ depiction of Rubio as an impulsive Cuban American the unwitting result of pervasive prejudice or a dog whistle? Discuss amongst yourselves.  -Fox News

 HOW LONG CAN HILLY DUCK IRAQ? 
Amid mounting pressure over his Iraq war strategy, President nObama seems to be preparing to escalate U.S. involvement with hundreds more troops. The president who campaigned on getting the U.S. out of Iraq is getting back in, bit by bit. So what does Hilly Clinton think? Don’t be silly. Clinton doesn’t answer questions. Neither will she be talking much about foreign policy in the vanilla Pudding Pop of a campaign re-launch she has planned for the rest of this month.
          Clinton, who is raising money behind closed doors this week, is ducking two kinds of questions. The presumptive Democratic nominee’s inbox of unanswered scandal-related questions was already overflowing, but now the real-time policy points that any candidate would be expected to answer is off limits. Iraq and trade are front and center and there doesn’t seem to be a good way for her to tip-toe between distancing herself from nObama and allaying the concerns of an anxious Democratic left.

 Bernie gets feisty: ‘Hilly Clinton has had nothing to say’ -  USA Today: “‘I have been ... leading the opposition to TPP,’ the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal being negotiated, [Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.] said. ‘Hilly Clinton has had nothing to say. She hasn’t given us an opinion. And it’s hard for me to understand how Secretary Clinton or any candidate can avoid speaking out on what is a huge economic issue. You can be for it; you can be against it, but you’ve got to have an opinion.’ He went on: ‘I led the effort against the Keystone Pipeline. I don’t know that Secretary Clinton has spoken out on this issue. ... I led the effort when I was in the House against the deregulation of Wall Street. ... Where is Secretary Clinton on the issue of breaking up the large financial institutions?’”  -Fox News

 How Islam Got its American Privileges  
(Daniel Greenfield) ~ What is Islam? The obvious dictionary definition answer is that it’s a religion, but legally speaking it actually enjoys all of the advantages of race, religion and culture with none of the disadvantages... Islam is a religion when mandating that employers accommodate the hijab, but when it comes time to bring it into the schools, places that are legally hostile to religion, American students are taught about Islam, visit mosques and even wear burkas and recite Islamic prayers to learn about another culture. Criticism of Islam is denounced as racist even though the one thing that Islam clearly isn’t is a race.Islamist organizations have figured out how lock in every advantage of race, religion and culture, while expeditiously shifting from one to the other to avoid any of the disadvantages. The biggest form of Muslim privilege has been to racialize Islam. The racialization of Islam has locked in all the advantages of racial status for a group that has no common race, only a common ideology.       http://www.aim.org/guest-column/how-islam-got-its-american-privileges/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061115&utm_medium=email

 nObama Dealt Massive, Humiliating Defeat  
(Keith Koffler) ~ President nObama was handed a horrific defeat Friday in Congress as his own Party deserted him to thwart trade legislation for which he had personally lobbied and which he viewed as a keystone of his second term legacy... The vote, which was on a measure crucial to passage of the legislation, wasn’t even close, as the House rejected a trade adjustment assistance (TAA) package by 302-126. The final “fast track” bill probably cannot pass both houses of Congress without the TAA package – which would help workers displaced by trade. The House did pass the fast track bill after rejecting TAA. But now the legislation must go back to the Senate, and without TAA, it is unlikely to succeed there.       http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2015/06/12/obama-dealt-massive-humiliating-defeat-trade/?awt_l=59AKM&awt_m=3d8l8kTRoSTM1Od

 GOP Enabling nObama’s Unconstitutional Crony Capitalism  
(rickwells.us) ~ Mark Levin asks the question, “Why do the Republicans time and again persist on assisting an agenda that is both diabolical and destructive?... Why did they give nObama the budget he wanted? Why did they stop fighting on unconstitutional executive amnesty? Why did they surrender the treaty provision of the Constitution? Why did they surrender the power of the purse provision of the Constitution? And why now do they seek to give this man, this man who is violating who is violating our Constitution, this man who is destroying our way of life, fast track authority? Levin points out the falsehoods of a claim to be “free-traders,” pointing out that “It is crony capitalism and corporatism.” He notes that he is a free-trade proponent and the Republicans in Washington DC are absolutely not.       http://rickwells.us/mark-levin-surrendering-gop-enabling-obamas-unconstitutional-crony-capitalism-corporatism/

 U.S. Arms Sales to Lebanon Empowering Hezbollah, Iran  
(Adam Kredo) ~ Newly announced U.S. arms sales to Lebanon coincide with an nObama administration order to cut funding for an anti-Hezbollah Lebanese group, a move foreign policy insiders describe as empowering the Iranian backers of the terrorist group... Critics are viewing the cut to anti-Hezbollah efforts as another concession by the administration to Iran—which controls and funds Hezbollah—ahead of attempts to finalize a nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic ahead of a June 30 deadline. Newly disclosed documents reveal that the nObama administration quietly decided in April to cut funds for Hayya Bina, a leading anti-Hezbollah group in Lebanon, “due to a recent shift in Department of State priorities in Lebanon,” according to a letter notifying the group of the funding cuts. He has no idea what he's doing.         http://freebeacon.com/national-security/u-s-arms-sales-to-lebanon-empowering-hezbollah-iran/

 UN Global Govt Power Behind Climate Change Hoax, nObama Push  
(rickwells.us) ~ Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) addressed a Thursday conference of climate realists organized by the Heartland Institute and the Heritage Foundation. The audience was composed largely of informed people who don’t buy into the hoax that mankind and CO2 are dooming, or even threatening, the Earth... He acknowledging that the motivation for climate alarmism is based entirely upon a desire for and the efforts to obtain authoritarian control over the people of the planet. Senator Inhofe is the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and is keenly aware of the fraud, expressing his belief that former French President Jacques Chirac was correct in describing global warming as “the first component of authentic global governance.” He warned that, “The United Nations is the reason that this all came along. We all know that. They want independence. They don’t want to be accountable to anybody; to theUnited States or any other country.        http://rickwells.us/sen-jim-inhofe-un-global-govt-power-grab-behind-climate-change-hoax-obama-push/

 nObama’s Gone Mad, Subpoenas Reason

Lessons to Be Learned
.
Burt_Header_M2.jpg
.
     (burtprelutsky.com) ~ Women, blacks, homosexuals and Muslims, are not subjugated in America. They merely pretend to be. Women pretend to be underpaid in what they continue to insist is a patriarchal society, although when they have the same education and work just as hard and as long as men, they are paid the same to do the same job.
.
     Blacks pretend to be profiled and picked on by the cops, but statistics show that young black males are far likelier to commit serious crimes, including murder, than any other group. The fact that, in most cases, their victims are other blacks only serves to show how hypocritical the black community is when it takes to the streets to blame their plight on the only people risking their own lives to protect them, the police.
.
     Homosexuals, who had not only achieved a special status, civil unions, which provided them with all the rights they claimed to have been denied – hospital visitations, the rights of inheritance and adoption, etc. – decided to undo thousands of years of tradition by demanding same-sex marriages. Worse yet, they keep trying to equate their status with that of blacks condemned by Jim Crow laws to separate and unequal lives. It would be as if I, as a Jew, were denied membership in a country club and insisted I might as well be living in Nazi Germany.
.
     As for American Muslims, when half the world is being over-run by people burning, beheading and crucifying, in the name of Islam, listening to them gripe about the FBI investigating their mosques strikes some of us as self-absorption in the extreme. When you add that to the fact that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of them have been sneaking off to the Middle East in order to murder infidels in the name of Muhammad, and that even after 9/11, a great many of them continued to fund Hamas and Hezbollah through phony charities, occasional profiling strikes me as a rather benign response to a malignancy in our midst.
.
     The more I hear the members of these four groups complain, the more convinced I am that they all suffer from the Munchausen Syndrome, a mental condition in which people feign disease, illness or psychological trauma, in order to garner attention and especially sympathy. When you realize that today all over the Middle East and North Africa thousands of women and girls are being turned into sex slaves and that Christians are being mutilated and murdered, these petty grievances are particularly unseemly. It’s the whine that doesn’t improve with age.
.
     I realize that some will condemn me for my lack of tolerance and sympathy. But I like to recall that Victor Hugo once wrote: “Mirrors, those revealers of truth, are hated; that doesn’t prevent them from being useful.”
.
     ♦ A friend, a movie reviewer, wondered why some talented actors seem so willing to devote their time and energy to over-bloated action movies unworthy of their talent. I responded: “Even if actors and actresses had any taste, which most of them don’t, there are only a handful of movies in any given year that are worth anyone’s attention – assuming they’re not teenage boys. And so long as Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, and a couple of others have dibs on those scripts, there will be nothing left for anyone else. So they may as well go for the big money and do cinematic shlock, as the very talented Robert Downey, he of the 'Iron Man' and 'Sherlock Holmes' franchises, has chosen to do.
.
     ♦ I am not given to theological musings, but recently I found myself wondering why, if the God of the Old and New Testaments is the same entity, He would first make Jews His Chosen People, and then send Jesus down with the idea of creating a rival religion.
.
     ♦ Moving from the sublime to the ridiculous, or the sacred to the profane, depending on how seriously you take your football, I keep wondering why so much was made of the air pressure in the balls Tom Brady was passing in the playoff game between New England and Indianapolis. I am against cheating of all kinds, and was particularly offended that through the use of steroids, the unsavory likes of Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez and Mark McGwire, were able to delete Babe Ruth and Roger Maris from the baseball record books.
.
     But isn’t it worth noting that Tom Brady and the Patriots won the game by a score of 45-7? Does anyone seriously believe that, short of saddling Brady with a bowling ball, the Colts had the slightest chance of winning that game?
.
     ♦ I keep seeing polls that indicate Americans don’t want to see another invasion of Iraq, even if that’s the only way to rid the world of ISIS. I don’t buy it for a second. I think most of us are sick of seeing these mutants on the march, and would cheer an invasion that didn’t simultaneously try to rebuild the nation, a la George W. Bush, but merely had the mission of annihilating the bastards and sending a clear message to the other Islamic cretins in the neighborhood, including Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, that we mean business.
.
     ♦ What makes people so suspicious of Jade Helm 15, the military exercises planned to take place in the Southwest this summer, is that everyone, including the leaders of Russia, Iran and North Korea, know that nObama has no intention of waging war on our sworn enemies. His mantra is “No boots on the ground,” so why spend the time and money on a whole series of unnecessary exercises?
.
     Although I disapproved of the way that George Bush conducted the war, as if it were part military engagement/part major construction project, he at least left Iraq better off than he found it.
.
     nObama, on the other hand, simply left Iraq hanging, in what might well be the worst case ever of premature evacuation.

 nObama Unleashes Teleprompter to Defend nObamaCare 
In a speech before the Catholic Health Association Tuesday, Barack nObama bent the narrative of history to fit his will. In the days leading up to when the Supreme Court will decide whether it's legal for the federal government to provide subsidies for health insurance not purchased on a state exchange, nObama is leveraging every rhetorical trick, trying to convince the Court to allow him to rewrite nObamaCare. On Mondayhe told a group of reporters that SCOTUS shouldn't have taken up King v. Burwell. But since it has, he said, "This should be an easy case" because legal scholars side with his interpretation.
          The next day, nObama ramped up his attack on the impartiality of the Supreme Court when he used the Bully Pulpit to defend nObamaCare using religious and historical rhetoric, evoking the names of Teddy Roosevelt and Ted Kennedy. In his speech at the Catholic conference, nObama said, "The rugged individualism that defines America has always been bound by a shared set of values, an enduring sense that we're in this together, that America is not a place where we simply turn away from the sick, or turn our backs on the tired, the poor, the huddled masses. It is a place sustained by the idea: I am my brother's keeper. I am my sister's keeper — that we have an obligation to put ourselves in our neighbor's shoes and see each other's common humanity." What nObama left out: This law he says is couched in historical precedent was rammed through Congress with a midnight, party-line vote, and now he's rewriting it to suit his purposes. As for values, the freedom from coercion is a pretty strong American value, running through the nation since the rebellion against the Stamp Act. More...  -The Patriot Post

 Russia Violates Treaty, State Dept. Shrugs 
Is this the nObama administration's "smart power" and "reset," not embarrassing Russia as it violates nuclear arms treaties? Every year, the State Department releases a report about how the U.S. and other countries are upholding or violating the various treaties governing arms control, nonproliferation and disarmament. In this year's report, State discloses, "In 2014, the Russian Federation continued to be in violation of its obligations under the INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km." Disturbing news, right? Not to State, which believes the violation is not a big deal. The report continues: "The Administration believes that it is in the mutual security interests of all the Parties to the INF Treaty that Russia and the other 11 successor states to the Soviet Union remain Parties to the Treaty and comply with their obligations." Obviously, if Russia believed it was in its best interest to stop development of intermediate-range missiles, it would stop. Furthermore, the government knew of the INF violations for three years before disclosing them publicly. U.S. officials lied about Russia and continue to obfuscate the extent of Russia's violations. Guess it's easier than, well, wielding power smartly.   -The Patriot Post

 Officials Fear ISIS Could Develop Dirty Bomb  
(leanrightamerica.org) ~ Australian intelligence officials say that the Islamic State may have procured radioactive material that can be used to develop a massive “dirty” bomb while clearing out hospitals and research centers in Iraq and Syria... Also known as a radiological dispersal device, a dirty bomb is a weapon that puts radioactive materials and conventional explosives together to create a destructive hybrid. Generally, these bombs are not thought of a WMDs, but the potential is certainly there for a weapon that could do plenty of damage. In the latest edition of ISIS’s official publication, Dabiq, the group made it clear that they want to get their hands on a weapon of mass destruction. Officials in India have warned that the group could possibly get a nuke from Pakistan. But even if they aren’t able to go that far, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says they almost certainly have a radioactive and biological stockpile that could threaten lives.       http://www.leanrightamerica.org/uncategorized/officials-fear-isis-could-develop-dirty-bomb/

 nObama To Free Ten Muslim Terrorists From Gitmo  
(mrconservative.com) ~ Last year, Barack nObama stunned the nation when he freed five deadly terrorists from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for known-deserter Bowe Bergdahl... Now, new reports have revealed that nObama is planning to aid Muslim terrorists once again by freeing ten terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, possibly as soon as this month. You’re likely to see some progress in June,” an unnamed senior defense official commented, according to Breitbart. “I just talked to the National Security Council and State [Department], so we can say maybe up to 10 — no specific timeframe, but in the near future. And then we’re actively engaged with a number of countries in additional negotiations regarding the 57 that are eligible. But sometime this summer, maybe June, up to 10.”       http://mrconservative.com/2015/06/60005-breaking-obama-launches-plan-to-free-ten-muslim-terrorists-from-guantanamo/

 Did Netanyahu Order IDF to Strike Iran?  
(israeltoday.co.il) ~ A heated debate at the recent Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York highlighted that back in 2010, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apparently ordered Israel’s defense establishment to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, or to prepare to do so... During the discussion, Post columnist Caroline Glick accused fellow panelists former Mossad chief Meir Dagan and former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi of refusing Netanyahu’s orders during their respective tenures. “In 2010, according to a report from 2012 on the Israeli news program Uvda, we learned that two of the gentlemen on this panel were given an order to prepare the military for an imminent strike against Iran’s military installations and they refused,” charged Glick. The popular columnist was adamant that had Dagan and Ashkenazi gone along with Netanyahu’s policies, the region and the world would not today be facing the specter of a nuclear Iran.       http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/26773/Default.aspx

 Crystal City Facility leased for executive amnesty will not sit vacant  
(Caroline May) ~ The nObama administration has been instructed to put the brakes on its executive amnesty programs, but the building leased to house the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employees who would have carried out that workload will not be sitting vacant... USCIS has confirmed to Breitbart News that the Arlington, Virginia facility — located in the  Crystal City neighborhood — initially leased to process applications for the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program — will now be used as a fifth agency service center. It will be called the Potomac Service Center (PSC). “The Potomac Service Center (PSC) will process applications and petitions to help balance workloads and add capacity. The agency’s existing service centers in Texas, Nebraska, California, and Vermont are operating at maximum capacity,” A USCIS spokesperson said in a statement to Breitbart News.        http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/11/crystal-city-facility-leased-for-executive-amnesty-will-not-sit-vacant/

 Secret Government: Trade Deals and Transparency  
(fixthisnation.com) ~ It has been a sight to behold. President nObama and top Republicans standing arm in arm while liberal Democrats throw tomatoes from the cheap seats... At issue is the president’s trade agenda, and even the most astute political observers seem at a loss to explain what it consists of and what it might mean to the American labor force. Liberals despise it, yes, but many conservative sites have come out against it with nearly as much fervor. Drudge and Breitbart, in particular, have hammered the anti-TPP gong with every bit as much energy as Elizabeth Warren. What’s going on here? If you ask Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, it’s much ado about nothing. “Look, first of all, don’t believe everything you read on the internet,” Ryan said Thursday on Fox and Friends. “Second of all, this is why we need to pass Trade Promotion Authority. What we have in Trade Promotion Authority is a prevention of any immigration changes, of any climate change legislation going into a trade agreement. So by passing Trade Promotion Authority, we’re putting Congress in the driver’s seat which is transparency.” Critics don’t believe that’s quite the case. While Ryan insists that the vote currently on the floor is merely one of process, critics on both sides of the aisle say that it is a vote to give nObama more power, not less. What is certain is that there is more substance here than mere procedure. Rep. Michael Burgess of Texas is one of many lawmakers who have confirmed the existence of a secret room on Capitol Hill where a select few have been given permission to peruse some 800 pages of the TPP. The question then becomes…why all the secrecy?       http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/secret-government-trade-deals-and-transparency/

 The evil of our time  
(Frederick W. Kagan) ~ The greatest evil of our time has taken root in Iraq and Syria. The Islamic State (ISIS) is not a terrorist organization. It is an army of conquest that is destroying all traces of civilization in the lands it holds... It slaughters innocent civilians. It loots ancient sites for profit and demolishes what it cannot steal. It has declared its intent to conduct a genocide against all Shi’ite Muslims and follows through whenever it can. It has reestablished slavery and distributes captives as property among its troops and allies. It encourages its soldiers to rape, including through forced “marriage,” women who fall into its hands. It boasts of the most brutal methods of murdering hostages. Human Rights Watch interviewed some women who managed to escape this nightmare: “Half, including two 12-year-old girls, said they had been raped — some multiple times and by several ISIS fighters. Nearly all of them said they had been forced into marriage; sold, in some cases a number of times; or given as ‘gifts.’” ISIS proudly posted the video of its fighters burning the Jordanian pilot to death. Its Libya branch more recently released a video of its soldiers executing scores of Ethiopian Christians — beheading some and shooting others in the back of the head. Comparing ISIS to the early Nazis is not hyperbole.        http://www.aei.org/publication/the-evil-of-our-time/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061215

 nObama trade push hits roadblock, key vote fails in House  
(foxnews.com) ~ President nObama's trade push hit a major roadblock Friday as Democrats helped torpedo a bill considered crucial for the agenda to pass... In a 126-302 vote, the House killed the so-called Trade Adjustment Assistance bill -- a program that retrains workers displaced by trade. The bill was originally put on the table as a sweetener to help entice recalcitrant Democrats to back the president's overall agenda. But the president's own party is so opposed to that agenda, they voted down the sweetener. In a major defection for nObama, even House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi joined the rebellion in opposing TAA minutes before the vote. Though she supports the worker aid, she said it was the only way to "slow down the fast track."        http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/12/obama-pleads-with-dems-to-keep-trade-agenda-afloat-ahead-critical-vote/

 Megyn Kelly: nObama’s Radical Housing Plan

 Armored Blackhawks Headed to Texas Border   
(gopthedailydose.com) ~ Days after drug traffickers shot down a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Helicopter on the Texas/Mexico border, the agency is getting some back up in the form of two armored Blackhawks... Unlike the helicopter, the Blackhawks are armored against small arms fire. CBP plans to send two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters to south Texas in the wake of last Friday’s helicopter shooting incident. The Blackhawk is armored against small arms fire of the sort used in the recent incident, carries a larger crew than the EC120 helicopter currently used in the area, and is well suited for operating in a higher threat environment. The move is expected to occur this week; CBP continuously reviews the conditions of the border environment and deploys its resources accordingly.        http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/06/12/armored-blackhawks-headed-to-texas-border-in-wake-of-attack-on-us-chopper/

     (jewishworldreview.com) ~ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government is less than a month old, but it's already apparent that it is different from its predecessors. And if it continues on its current diplomatic trajectory, it may do something that its six predecessors failed to accomplish. Netanyahu's new government may improve Israel's position internationally.
.
     The stakes are high. Over the years, Israel has largely concentrated its efforts on developing the tools to contend with its military challenges. But as we have seen over the past decade and a half, Israel's capacity to fight and defeat its enemies is not limited principally by the IDF's war-fighting capabilities.
.
     Israel's ability to defend itself and its citizens is constrained first and foremost by its shrinking capacity to defend itself diplomatically. Its enemies in the diplomatic arena have met with great success in their use of diplomatic condemnation and intimidation to force Israel to limit its military operations to the point where it is incapable of defeating its enemies outright.
.
     The flagship of the diplomatic war against Israel is the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
.
     Participants in the movement propagate and disseminate the libelous claim that Israel's use of force in self-defense is inherently immoral and illegal. Over the years BDS activists' assaults on Israel's right to exist have become ever more shrill and radical. So, too, whereas just a few years ago their operations tended to be concentrated around military confrontations, today they are everyday occurrences. And their demands become greater and more openly anti-Semitic from week to week and day to day.
.
Consider the events of the past seven days alone.
.
     Late last week Israel fended off a major international effort led by Palestinian Authority Soccer Federation chairman and former terrorist chief Jibril Rajoub to expel it from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Not only is Rajoub a man with blood on his hands. The Fatah luminary is admired by the Israeli far-Left while also being a favorite of Qatar, the chief state sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
.
     Rajoub is sympathetically inclined toward enabling Hamas in Gaza to expand its presence in Judea and Samaria.
.
     Before the government had a chance to sigh in relief that FIFA was settled, Britain's National Union of Students voted to join the BDS movement. This means that the anti-Israel demonstrations and assaults that take place several times a week at Britain's universities will now take place under the NUS banner.
.
     Also Wednesday, the French telecom giant Orange's CEO Stéphane Richard told reporters in Cairo that he wishes to cut off his contract with Israel's Partner telecommunications company, one of Israel's largest cellular telephone services providers.
.
     Richard was apparently coerced into making his statement by the Egyptian BDS movement which has threatened to boycott Orange's subsidiary in Egypt due to its contract with Partner.
.
     Tuesday it was reported that last month the Dutch government issued a travel advisory to its citizens traveling in Israel. In an act of anti-Jewish inversion now common in the Western discourse about Israel and its enemies, the Dutch government warned that Jews in Judea and Samaria constitute a threat to Dutch travelers because they throw stones "toward Palestinian and foreign vehicles."
.
     In the US, the Anti-Defamation League reported that this past academic year there was a 38 percent rise in anti-Israel events on college campuses over the previous year. The number of BDS campaigns doubled over the previous academic year.
.
     By ADL's count, there were 520 anti-Israel events on campuses. BDS campaigns were initiated on 29 campuses.
.
     At the UN, Tuesday "The Palestinian Return Center," Hamas's European chapter, was granted official status as a recognized nongovernmental organization by the UN's Commission on NGOs. Now, thanks to the commission, Hamas terrorists can participate in UN meetings, have full access to UN facilities and wear their new, official UN badges.
Incidentally, the same commission rejected a request by ZAKA to receive the same status. ZAKA [run by "ultra-Orthodox" Jews] is an Israeli NGO that provides first aid and handles the remains of terrorism victims and victims of major disasters in Israel and worldwide.
.
     Also at the UN, Leila Zerrougui, the envoy for children in armed conflicts, is pushing to get the IDF added to the blacklist of groups that harm children.
.
     Boko Haram, Islamic State, al-Qaida and the Taliban are among the current names of the list.
.
     Wednesday Republican Sen. Ted Cruz sent a pointed letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemning Zerrougui's actions. Cruz threatened, "Congress will have no choice but to reassess the United States' relationship with the United Nations and consider serious consequences if you choose to take this action."
.
     In contrast to Cruz's position, in his interview with Channel 2 broadcast Tuesday, US President Barack nObama indicated that due to the rising tide of anti-Israel sentiment and campaigns, if Israel doesn't make unreciprocated concessions to the PA then the administration will have no choice but to join the anti-Israel UN bandwagon.
.
The time has come, then, for Israel to take the wheels off the wagon.
.
     For the past dozen years or so, pro-Israel activists in the US in particular have been fighting an uphill, lonely battle against the organizations promoting the BDS movement. Among their top complaints has been the constant refrain that the Israeli government has undermined their actions by standing silent or denying what was happening or treating Israel's defenders as the moral equivalents of its adversaries.
.
     To some degree, the reticence of the Foreign Ministry was understandable. The BDS Israel haters often claim that they wage political and economic warfare against Israel and isolate and humiliate Israel supporters in the West to promote peace.
.
     This claim has always been ridiculous. You can't support peace and boycott Jewish-owned businesses in all or parts of Israel. You can't support peace and boycott Israeli students and professors and dance troupes.
.
     But so long as the word "peace" has been involved, or the boycotters have pretended that they are only referring to Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem, the Foreign Ministry has by and large taken them at face value and pretended that their smear operation is nothing to worry about.
.
     To the extent they have tried to deal with the growing hate Israel phenomenon, they have run away from its essence. Instead, our senior diplomats have said that the best way to combat BDS is by rebranding Israel as the start-up, gay, friendly state with great beaches.
.
     And largely as a result of this self-induced paralysis and blindness, pro-Israel activists have been isolated.
.
     Jewish anti-Israel organizations such as J Street, Open Hillel and the New Israel Fund in the US, and European governments and government- funded organizations in Europe have operated largely free from criticism by official Israeli voices unwilling to take sides in the debate about the country's right to exist and defend itself.
.
     All the while, Israel's diplomatic standing has gone from weak to incapacitated.
.
     Against this backdrop, statements and actions by the new Netanyahu government are encouraging because, unlike its predecessors, it seems to have stopped playing the fool.
.
     At the outset of this week's cabinet meeting, Netanyahu spoke out angrily and specifically against the BDS movement and warned that Israel must not blame itself for the BDS haters' assaults against it.
.
     As he put it, "The last thing we need to do is to bow our heads and ask where we went wrong, where we erred. We have done nothing wrong and we have not erred. We are not a perfect country; we do not pretend to be such, but they are setting standards for us that are both twisted and higher than those for any other country, any other democracy."
.
     Wednesday Netanyahu assailed the British student union's decision to join the BDS movement.
.
     Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked excoriated the BDS movement at the Knesset, stating openly that it is the new Jew hatred.
.
     Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely has translated this new position into action. Among other things, this week she instructed Israel's ambassador to Switzerland to formally demand that the Swiss government and the Zurich municipality rescind their financial support for the planned Breaking the Silence conference this month in Zurich. The purpose of the conference, like the purpose of the foreign-funded group more generally, is to demonize and libel the IDF.
.
     So it appears that the government has decided to finally go on offense. But if this is true, then much more can and must be done immediately.
.
     Take the Dutch travel advisory for instance. Israel wasted no time in condemning Holland's move. But the Dutch statement was just the tip of the iceberg.
.
     Holland spends millions every year to directly and indirectly finance organizations whose sole purpose is to demonize Israel and Israelis. The Dutch government paid a lot of money to invent lies about Israel and its Jews that then formed the basis of its malicious, bigoted travel advisory.
.
     The Israeli embassy at the Hague as well as the Foreign Ministry must demand not only a retraction of the travel warning. They must demand an immediate cessation of this subversive, adversarial campaign.
.
     So, too, while the British government responded with embarrassment to the BDS vote of the NUS, the fact is that the British government holds responsibility for the strength and radicalism of the BDS movement in Britain. Like Holland, the UK spends millions every year financing NGOs whose purpose is to undermine Israeli sovereignty, demonize the IDF, attack Israel's right to exist and fund Palestinian terrorists.
.
     Every year, the British government funds dozens of Israeli and Palestinian-registered NGOs whose purpose is to make Israel into an international pariah unable to wage wars of self-defense without risking war crimes tribunals, economic boycotts and international humiliation.
.
     Rather than sufficing with expressions of thanks to the Cameron government for distancing itself from the student union's boycott of Israel, the government must demand the cessation of direct and indirect British governmental funding of these groups and their campaigns.
.
     The BDS movement is a proxy war. It is being waged against Israel not only by deep-pocketed Arab governments which fund the NGOs that carry the battle to the streets. It is also being waged by hypocritical leftist donors in the US and by supposedly friendly European governments.
.
     The government has taken the first steps in beating back this onslaught. But the hour is late and the stakes are high. The BDS movement is a strategic threat because as it gets stronger, Israel's ability to wage war on the military battlefield becomes further constrained and the threats to Israel's economy and social fabric grow. BDS must be defeated piece by piece in an unrelenting offensive that attacks its sources and puts it out of business. It won't be easy. It won't be genteel.
.
     But if the government doesn't submit to the diplomatic urge to be polite, it stands a chance of making matters better, for a change.

 nOBAMA’S INCOMPLETE IRAQ STRATEGY 
President nObama opened the door to increased criticism in just one sentence.  After saying Monday that the U.S. does not yet have ‘a complete strategy’ for attacking ISIS and training the Iraqis and adding that he’s waiting for a ‘finalized plan’ from the Pentagon, critics pounced. Here’s House Speaker backstabber John Boehner’s response to what he labeled the president’s ‘shocking admission.’
          The administration was quick to try to narrow the president’s comments to training Iraqi Sunnis, but clearly his words were taken as a much broader statement. And senior military officials speaking to Fox took issue with President nObama’s claim that he was waiting for options from the Pentagon. ‘What the f--- was that? We have given him lots of options, he just hasn’t acted on them,’ one official told Fox News.
          Tonight on Special Report, we’ll speak exclusively with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell about Iraq strategy, his recent NSA legislative loss and what he thinks can still get done in this Senate session.” – Bret Baier

 NYT HITS RUBIO… AGAIN 
Last week it was he and his wife’s moving violations of the 1990s. This week, the NYT is digging all the way down into Sen. Marco Rubio’s personal finances. They found a 44-yeare-old man who’s spending sometimes outran his income but who has found great success in the last few years. Not a big deal, but the Times loads up the story with lots of warning words with a strong suggestion that Rubio is reckless.
          The good news for Rubio is that this a clear sign that he is seen as a real threat to Hilly Clinton. A candidates is not going to get this kind of coverage from the Democrats’ paper of record otherwise. And as these stories rain down, conservatives will instinctively rally to his defense. As was the case most famously with former Gov. Sarah Palin, R-Alaska, establishment press pieces can cause conservative support to surge. It’s a badge of honor, and as Rubio did on the traffic ticket hit piece, good for a fundraising burst.
          The downside is that some of it sticks. The $80,000 pleasure boat purchase and risky – he would presumably say optimistic – financial moves will add up to something in the minds of voters. This is worrisome for Rubio because he is looking, in part, to present himself to establishment donors as a more electable alternative to Jeb Bush. Conservatives will dismiss the story out of hand. GOP elites actually read the Times.
          The other top rival for blocking Bush’s march to the nomination, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc., has been living with the NYT seemingly sorting through every facet of his life since 2011, as the paper has shown a near-obsession with his activities in Madison. Walker knows, as Rubio is learning now, playing the victim to press mistreatment has its downsides. Calling attention to negatives is seldom helpful.

 Kohl’s candidate Walker hits Hilly on ‘dead broke’ anniversary -Walker has a blog post today reminding voters about Clinton’s comments a year ago today about being “dead broke” while raking in millions: “As a middle-class parent with two kids in college, I know every day Americans are genuinely concerned about America’s opportunity gap. Unlike Clinton, most folks could only dream of earning $300,000 for a fraction of a day’s work. And while Clinton has certainly amassed a fortune talking about her government-knows-best philosophy on the paid-speaking circuit, those of us in the middle class know that approach just doesn’t work in real life.”  -Fox News

 SANDOVAL WON’T RUN FOR dinky REID’S SEAT 
After months of mulling, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval will not run for Senate. The second-term Republican was long sought by his party to seek the seat being vacated by the retiring Senate Minority Leader dinky Harry Reid. But Nevada Public Television’s Jon Ralston got the statement from Sandoval: “My heart is in my responsibilities as Governor and continuing a New Nevada…For these reasons I will not seek the United States Senate seat that will be available in 2016.” The top Republican contender now will likely be Rep. Joe Heck. dinky Reid’s designated Democratic successor is former state Attorney General

 LIES OUR OVERLORDS ARE TELLING US  
(Judge Andrew Napolitano) ~ Last week, Republicans and Democrats in Congress joined President Barack nObama in congratulating themselves for taming the National Security Agency’s voracious appetite for spying... By permitting one section of the Patriot Act to expire and by replacing it with the USA Freedom Act, the federal government is taking credit for taming beasts of its own creation. In reality, nothing substantial has changed. Under the Patriot Act, the NSA had access to and possessed digital versions of the content of all telephone conversations, emails and text messages sent between and among all people in America since 2009. Under the USA Freedom Act, it has the same. The USA Freedom Act changes slightly the mechanisms for acquiring this bulk data, but it does not change the amount or nature of the data the NSA acquires.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/lies-our-overlords-are-telling-us/

 It's the left that excels in violence  
(Erik Rush) ~ I must say that I wasn’t altogether surprised at the reaction of some on the left to my last column in this space. In it, I stated that while the political left routinely portrays those on the right as being potentially violent and dangerous... ironically, their actions are forcing those who value liberty into a position so objectionable that one day violence may be the only option left open to them. Anyway, a few of the more prominent left-wing propaganda mills characterized my piece as advocating for the murder of liberals, which of course it did not. In context, all of this really goes back to the reason our nation’s founders opted to go to war to secure the liberties that had been usurped by the British Crown. For those not familiar with the concept of war, it typically involves killing a lot of people. My rationale for extrapolating the current scenario in America along those lines lay in having analyzed several sets of circumstances identical to ours in terms of leftist activism.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/its-the-left-that-excels-in-violence/

 Teachers Union Caught Using Tax Dollars to Fund Tax Hike Campaign 
(Warner Todd Huston) ~ This is one of my preeminent examples of why there should never, ever be such a thing as a union for a government employee–ANY government employee... A teachers union in Colorado has been caught red handed using tax money to fund a campaign to urge lawmakers to raise taxes. This is the single best reason to be rid of government employee unions. The fact is, they are entirely un-democratic and blatantly un-American. The story comes to us form ColoradoPeakPolitics, but it is a tale that could just as easily come from New York, Illinois, or any other state bedeviled with grasping, anti-American public employee unions.        http://wizbangblog.com/2015/06/10/outrage-teachers-union-caught-using-tax-dollars-to-fund-tax-hike-campaign/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Wizbang+%28Wizbang%29

 North Korea's Serious New Nuclear Missile Threat  
(Peter Huessy) ~ North Korea appears to have made significant progress in extending its capability as a nuclear-armed rogue nation, to where its missiles may become capable of hitting American cities with little or no warning... What new evidence makes such a threat compelling? North Korea claims to have nuclear warheads small enough to fit on their ballistic missiles andmissiles capable of being launched from a submerged platform such as a submarine. Shortly after North Korea's April 22, 2015 missile test, which heightened international concernabout the military capabilities of North Korea, U.S. Secretary of State hanoi John Kerry urged China and our regional allies to restart the 2003 "six-party talks" aimed at eliminating nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula and reining in North Korea's expanding nuclear missile program.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5914/north-korea-nuclear-missile

 nObama's Backtracking On Promise To ONLY Lift Nuclear-Related  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ Throughout the P5+1 negotiation process President nObama, Secretary of State hanoi Kerry and all those speaking for the Administration have promised that if a deal is made, the only Iranian sanctions that will be lifted were those imposed with the purposed of eliminating their nuclear weapons program... In fact the famous "fact sheet" distributed on April 2, the day the framework deal was announced said The April 2 fact sheet they circulated stated "U.S. sanctions on Iran for terrorism, human rights abuses, and ballistic missiles will remain in place under the deal." According to the Associated Press that promise like many made since nObama took office in 2009, has been tossed out the window. From the very beginning of the article, the AP is clear what's going on, that the U.S. is going to roll back the non- nuclear sanctions: Per the report the sanctions that were imposed on Iran to block money laundering and ballistic missile development will also be rolled back. Twenty-three out of twenty-four of the currently sanctioned Iranian banks will get their "get out of jail free cards" and will be allowed to do business with the west, including the Big Kahuna of sanctioned banks crucial Central Bank of Iran (CBI).       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/obamas-backtracking-on-promise-to-only.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3bc4d16ba0-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-3bc4d16ba0-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-3bc4d16ba0-291705165

 Israel-Created Computer Virus Spied On Iran Nuke Talks  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ Who created the computer virus used to spy on the P+5 talks with Iran? According to the Moscow-based cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab ZAO (via the Wall Street Journal) it was Israel who placed the bug in the three luxury European hotels hosting the nuke talks... Apparently when Kaspersky Lab ZAO analyzed a bug found in its own network last year it was similar to a virus though to be used by Israeli spies. The firm "checked millions of computers world-wide and three luxury European hotels popped up. The other hotels the firm tested—thousands in all—were clean."  After additional analysis the cybersecurity sleuths realized the three bugged hotels were the ones hosting the P+5 talks.       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/wsj-report-israel-created-computer.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=3bc4d16ba0-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-3bc4d16ba0-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-3bc4d16ba0-291705165

 Putin’s New Russia Reeks of the Old Soviet Union  
(Christopher s. Carson) ~ In addition to its other internal problems, Russia has a new one: the flight of its intellectuals to foreign countries. This week, 31-year old Zhanna Nemtsova, the eldest daughter of murdered Putin critic Boris Nemtsov and herself a successful journalist, left Russia for safer pastures in Europe... She wrote a “farewell letter” which was published inVedomosti, a liberal business journal. Ms. Nemtsova made the point that the danger of the Putin regime is not simply direct acts of violence perpetrated by paid agents of the president, but rather indirect state violence, whipped up by state propaganda, in the fertile soil of the large Russian population influenced by such propaganda. Ms. Nemtsova even coined a new, rather useful term for the phenomenon — “information terror.”     http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/christopher-s-carson/putins-new-russia-reeks-heavily-of-the-old-soviet-union/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=79988504e2-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-79988504e2-156509103

 Media’s Strategy on Immigration: Don’t Talk About It  
(Ann Coulter) ~ I’m impressed by the coolness and steadiness of our media in suppressing any news about immigration. It’s as if they’ve built a triple-layer fence with border guards around immigration topics. And guess what? Their fence is working!... How many thousands of news stories have there been on Ferguson, ISIS, Chris Christie’s “Bridgegate” or men becoming women? But the media will never tell you about Mexicans gang-raping a lesbian in Richmond, California, an Indian immigrant in San Francisco importing 12-year-old girls he bought from their parents for sex, or three children being beheaded by Mexicans in Baltimore. Don’t Americans have a right to know about the cultures flooding into our country?         http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/ann-coulter/medias-strategy-on-immigration-dont-talk-about-it/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=79988504e2-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-79988504e2-156509103

 Megyn Kelly Slams ‘Smears’ Coming From Liberal Blogs

Eric Casebolt, the former McKinney police officer who grabbed a 15-year-old girl and threw her to the ground in a filmed incident that has made national headlines.

 Favors to foundation donors stretch back to Hilly Clinton’s Senate  
(Kelly Riddell) ~ Hilly Rodham Clinton’s efforts to provide favors to major donors to her husband’s global charity or her own political career stretch back far earlier than her tenure as America’s top diplomat... dating to the time she served as a U.S. senator and had the power to earmark federal funds and influence legislation, records show. For instance, Mrs. Clinton introduced a bill when she was New York’s junior senator that allowed a donor to the Clinton Foundation to use tax-exempt bonds to build a shopping center in Syracuse, New York, public records show. She also went to bat for Freddie Mac, working to defeat legislation that would have subjected the mortgage giant to tougher regulations before the housing bubble burst and led to a major recession. That same year, Freddie Mac donated $50,000 to $100,000 to her husband’s charity, originally called the William J. Clinton Foundation records show.        http://www.1776coalition.com/featured-content/hillary-scratching-backs-while-a-senator?advD=1434,74101

Count on California 
to Always Make the Wrong Choice

     (immigrationreform.com) ~ Californians had better take their state’s “economic recovery” and budget “surplus” with a grain — make that a pound — of salt. A current excess of cash means Governor Jerry Brown has several billion to burn, although he doesn’t mention the state is facing almost $200 billion in long-term, unfunded pension liabilities.  Admittedly, budgets and debt are two different things but the common denominator is that both have to be paid back. I might have $50 left in my pocket at the end of the month but it doesn’t mean I don’t also own $30,000 worth of credit card debt.
.
     Yes, things have turned around for the Sunshine State. Several years ago California had a crushing deficit of about $26 billion.  As the recession abated and California raised taxes, the state now has cash to spend and the question is how to spread it around.
.
     A reasonable and prudent legislature might (1) rebate several billion back to taxpayers because, after all, that body raised taxes and is now sitting on those revenues, or (2) it might save the money for a rainy day…like when the pension liabilities come knocking or, (3) it might invest in infrastructure such as schools, roads or bridges.
.
     Ah, but the California Legislature has a much better idea.  The California Senate Appropriations Committee passed SB-4 to give health care to illegal aliens — 2 million of them — and the lawmakers want to use a big chunk of California’s surplus for that purpose.
.
     California State Senator Ricardo Lara, a Democrat who introduced the bill, said it will cost about $400 million to $800 million annually. Others, including Breitbart News have estimated the cost at $1 billion per year based on data from the non-partisan California Legislative Analyst’s office.
.
     Given that nothing in California is non-partisan and this issue involves illegal aliens — a population that is notoriously under-counted when it comes to extending benefits — double that estimate.
.
     While Federal law prohibits illegal aliens from receiving federal subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, California is very good at getting around federal laws to help illegal aliens. SB-4 requires the state to apply for a federal waiver to offer “unsubsidized” healthcare to illegal aliens through Covered California. Once the state gets a waiver, health care subsidies will be provided, not by federal subsidies, but by state taxpayers because the Legislature is betting Gov. Brown wants to pay.  (Brown is currently “non-committal.”) But, if California is denied a waiver, the Legislature has a workaround for that also; in that instance, they intend to create a separate state exchange just for illegal aliens, again paid by state taxpayers.
.
     So then, in addition to the existing sanctuary policies, anti-detainer legislation, in-state tuition and a bevy of other benefits and protections California extends to illegal aliens, the state will have added yet another massive incentive that will fuel additional flows of illegal aliens, costing taxpayers even more in health care, education and incarceration.
.
     California has a knack for creatively side-stepping laws to accommodate its large population of residents who also side-stepped laws…immigration laws.  This has set in motion a perpetual cycle of incentives, need and state-sponsored gratification.
.
It is not sensible, sustainable or ethical but, by golly, it sure is California.

‘Independent’ EPA Study Not So Independent After All 
In May, a new study commissioned by Harvard and Syracuse University claimed that the EPA's soon-to-be-released Clean Power Plan will eliminate around 3,500 pollution-related deaths annually. The celebratory reaction quickly went mainstream. The EPA, whose proposal it already posited will save lives, suddenly had the benefit of an independent verification. Or did it? Writing in Breitbart,  
junkscience.com publisher Steve Milloy found that the researchers of said study had personally partaken in various multi-million dollar EPA-funded studies. Furthermore, one author's assertion that the agency "did not participate in the study or interact with its authors" was found to be complete hogwash. Says Milloy, "I submitted a request to EPA under the Freedom of Information Act for email between the study authors and EPA staff. Although subsequent wrangling with agency staff gave me doubt that I would ever get anything, I received, much to my surprise, 99 pages of emails after mere weeks. The emails reveal that [the] study co-authors ... were definitely in contact with key EPA staff regarding this research."
          "This issue goes deeper than mere truth-telling," he adds. "The EPA's controversial Clean Power Plan hinges on the notion that shuttering coal plants will save lives." In fact, shuttering coal plants may very wellcost lives. Yet EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy recently postulated, "We can speak to the science because it's complicated and we do a lot of research and we do a lot of translation of the science into what it means for people so that the decisions can be made on the basis of real science and on the basis of a real technical understanding." In other words, "Trust us." But they keep giving us every reason not to.  -The Patriot Post

 NOAA Lies About the Warming Hiatus 
A new report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the latest issue of the journal "Science" claims the global warming hiatus that began in the late 1990s never actually happened. In fact, according to NOAA, temperatures actually rose twice as high as the previous global scale had predicted or measured. This wouldn't by any chance be an attempt to influence climate treaty talks in Paris later this year, now would it?
          “Newly corrected and updated global surface temperature data from NOAA’s [National Centers for Environmental Information] do not support the notion of a global warming ‘hiatus,’” wrote NOAA scientists, contradicting the work of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
          The hiatus, which in the scientific community refers to a period in which global surface temperatures appeared to stabilize, has flummoxed climate alarmists. It flies in the face of their exceedingly shrill predictions of extreme global warming — indeed, it's part of the reason they've switched their terminology to "climate change." If there's been no warming, it undermines their calls for ever more drastic measures to combat it, like dismantling the U.S. coal industry, heavily regulating fossil fuel production, and financially burdening the citizens of the world’s richest countries.
          By many scientific accounts, temperatures rose during the period of 1998-2013 at a much slower rate than the previous bellwether period between 1950-1998, a time frame during which global surface temperatures supposedly significantly spiked. According to satellite measurements, the most accurate tool we have, temperatures have remained flat — an ongoing trend. How is it that NOAA was able to come to its contrary conclusion?  -The Patriot Post

 HILLY CAN’T HIDE FROM nOBAMACARE 
Why would President nObama hold a campaign-style appearance for his five-year-old health law today at a meeting of a health-industry trade group?
          In part, it’s because the group represents Catholic hospitals and allows the president to cut against the steady Catholic opposition to his law on moral grounds because of its requirements to cover birth control and the provision of funds for elective abortions. The trade group is very much at odds with the American church’s leadership, but nObama is counting on whatever coverage of the event to cast him as in harmony Roman Catholicism.
          Mostly it’s because we expect any day now to find out whether the Supreme Court will – at least temporarily – blow the bottom out of nObamaCare because the administration provided benefits to recipients in states that did not opt in to the program. The speech allows nObama the chance to reinforce his message that the law is immutable.
          Republicans, for their part, have pre-conceded the fight. You know you are listening to a Republican in Washington when a win is a loss and a loss is a loss, too. The problem, as usual, is that the GOP cannot agree on what to do. The expectation is that if the court rules against the administration effectively yanking subsidies from more than six million Americans, the president will pummel Republicans on the state and federal level to accept his remedy.
          Republicans cannot seemingly agree even on what measure to try to send nObama to trigger a veto and shift some political blame or at least add some negotiating heft. If your party can’t even come to terms on what nature of symbolic failure to offer, good luck on the real thing…
          But while the folks at the White House glory in nObamaCare inevitability and Republicans reflexively start grabbing their ankles for another round of health care spankings, what about the most important person in the Democratic Party? Hilly Clinton isn’t saying and doesn’t plan to. Clinton, who in the shadow of the “if you like it, you can keep it” debacle said she wanted to fix what was wrong with the law, has decided that the matter doesn’t need addressing at all. (Her husband was even more explicit.)
          Whether (or how) Republicans lose this round is perhaps less important than how voters feel about the system overall in 2016. Once the Supreme Court declared the mandatory purchase of insurance to be constitutionally permissible, it was reasonable to expect the law would largely endure through nObama’s presidency.
          But as the news of late has shown, the system is still very much in upheaval. And, just as the president is doing with ISIS, the most serious work will be left for his predecessor. nObama has delayed his original delays of the most painful parts of the law and may do so again before he leaves office.
          The assembled polling on the subject shows a slight drop in opposition to the law, but only slight. Overall it shows a country just as worried about health care and its costs as it was in 2008 when nObama ran on the subject – if not more so.
          Repairing nObamaCare will be a major topic for the next president. The question for Republicans is whether they will force it to be part of the next presidential campaign or will they let Clinton escape?  -Fox News

 Clinton era watchdog reports scrubbed at State -  WashEx: “State Department Inspector General officials edited out passages of a high-profile report in 2013 that could have embarrassed Hilly Clinton just days before she quit President nObama’s Cabinet. The officials excised details of a cover up of misconduct by Clinton’s security team. The edits raise concerns that investigators were subjected to ‘undue influence’ from agency officials. The Washington Examiner obtained earlier drafts of the report which differ markedly from the final version. References to specific cases in which high-level State officials intervened and descriptions of the extent and frequency of those interventions appear in several early drafts but were later eliminated.”
          [Cleaning up - Clinton will continues a series of cash hauls in the D.C. area today at the Wesley Heights home of Tracy and Adam Bernstein. A prodigious fundraiser in 2008 for Clinton and then Barack nObama, Tracy Bernstein scored a post at Foggy Bottom in the office of the Chief of Protocol when Hilly was appointed secretary of state.]

 Another questionable donation to the Clintons?  
(Pam Key) ~ On the same evening Democratic presidential candidate Hilly Clinton was at a  LGBT fundraiser in Washington D.C., Fox Business Network’s “After the Bell” aired a report on the Clinton Health Initiative receiving millions of dollars from the Cameroon Baptist Convention’s health board... part of a Baptist church that compares homosexuality with incest, human trafficking and bestiality calling it “devilish” behavior . The Wall Street Journal’s Dan Henninger, Reason Magazine Editor-in-Chief Matt Welch, and New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin reported on the donations as revealed by the newest list of donors from the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which lists the organization as giving an amount ranging between $1 million and $10 million since 2010. Mrs. Clinton’s campaign announcement video prominently featured a same-sex couple preparing to get married.       http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/06/08/clinton-foundation-got-millions-from-fiercely-anti-gay-african-church/

 France, Iran and the "Peace Process"  
(Shoshana Bryen) ~ Sometimes, if you smash two stories together, you end up with something interesting; sometimes you get something worrisome. This is one of the latter... The first story is about France, a member of the P5+1 negotiating a deal with Iran on nuclear capabilities. The French government has expressed increasing concern that the emerging deal is flawed -- perhaps fatally. Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius reportedly told the French Parliament, "France will not accept [a deal] if it is not clear that inspections can be done at all Iranian installations, including military sites." He added, "Yes to an agreement, but not to an agreement that will enable Iran to have the atomic bomb. That is the position of France, which is independent and peaceful." The French Ambassador to the United States, Gerard Araud, told an American audience "the most worrying aspect of the agreement" is that Iran will become a "one-year breakout state." He expressed concern that if Iran becomes a nuclear state, other countries in the region will also seek to become nuclear powers.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5911/france-iran-peace-process

 New Report Heralds Existential Threat To America  
(noisyroom.net) ~ This report extensively details the networks of radical left non-profits, foundations, government agencies and the personalities behind them. Unbeknownst to most Americans they are using refugee resettlement as a pretext to import waves of immigrants from third-world nations as a key front in nObama’s strategy of “fundamentally transforming” America... These refugees have little interest in assimilating. Many are from Muslim countries, view immigration as “Hijra” i.e. a subversive means to invade a foreign nation, and have demonstrated a willingness to either support or engage in terrorism both in America and abroad. These groups are coached by leftist non-profits to capitalize on our generous welfare programs and shown how to maneuver around legal impediments – all at our expense – but are not being taught how to assimilate. The report conservatively estimates welfare costs at $10 billion per year. Additionally, government resettlement contractors receive $1 billion annually in federal tax dollars and non-profits supporting the agenda are provided billions of dollars from non-profits like George Soros’ Open Society Institute.        http://noisyroom.net/blog/2015/06/10/new-report-heralds-existential-threat-to-america/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Noisyroomnet+%28NoisyRoom.net%29

 Article to Criticize Israel for Excessive Warnings in Gaza  
(investigativeproject.org) ~ The Israel Defense Force (IDF) went too far beyond what is required to avoid civilian casualties in asymmetric conflict during last summer's Gaza war, some international legal experts say, according to an Israel National News report... The criticism comes in an article to be published Monday by the Weekly Standard. In it, Vanderbilt University adjunct law Professor Willy Stern reviews Israel's actions after spending two weeks with the IDF's international law department. The IDF made thousands of phone calls, dropped leaflets, and broadcast TV and radio messages urging Gaza civilians to flee an area before Israel would strike structures used by Hamas for military purposes. "It was abundantly clear that IDF commanders had gone beyond any mandates that international law requires to avoid civilian casualties," Stern writes. Its foes in Hamas went the opposite direction, urging terrorists to stay close to civilians, a manual that Israeli troops found in a Gaza neighborhood shows.       http://www.investigativeproject.org/4875/article-to-criticize-israel-for-excessive

 Iran Abandons Past Nuclear Promises as Deal Deadline Looms  
(Adam Kredo) ~ Iran is backsliding on promises made to U.S. negotiators during previous rounds of discussions aimed at reaching an agreement to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program, according to recent comments... While senior U.S. officials have insisted Iran will agree to a deal that they describe as a “forever agreement,” a top Iranian negotiator disputed this claim in comments this week. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister and senior negotiator Seyed Abbas Araqchi insisted this week that any agreement reached with Western powers will only be temporary and not binding in the long term.        http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-abandons-past-nuclear-promises-as-deal-deadline-looms/

 Iran Deal Historic Blunder, Single Greatest Mistake In 35 Years  
(rickwells.us) ~ In testimony Wednesday before the Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, Ambassador Joseph gave his perspective on the Iran Nuclear deal that is being advanced by the nObama regime, having nothing complimentary to say about it... Joseph closed his remarks saying, “I come at these issues from a non-proliferation perspective. In my view if there is an agreement along the lines that have been described by the White House and by the Iranian leadership, I believe it will represent perhaps the single greatest strategic mistake in the national security area in the past thirty-five plus years.” He says there is no doubt that some will describe the agreement as historic, and that is what expects from both the White House and the New York Times. He says it will be historic; it will be a historic blunder.        http://rickwells.us/iran-deal-historic-blunder-single-greatest-mistake-in-35-years-nonproliferation-expert-testifies/

Levin points out that the EPA is engaged in an assault on the American people by shutting down coal mines, shutting down coal-fired power plants, utilities, businesses and operations. “It’s putting people out of work, putting families on welfare lines, on Medicaidlines.

 What Is Taqiyya?  
(answeringmuslims.com) ~ Taqiyya (also spelled taqiya, taqiyah, or taqiyyah) is a form of Islamic deception... The Quran (16:106 and 3:28) allows Muslims to lie in order to protect themselves or to protect the Muslim community. Protecting the Muslim community, however, involves lying about jihad and portraying Islam as a religion of peace.

 PETA successfully outlaws outdoor BBQs in Portland, OR  
(Chedoh) ~ Members of P.E.T.A. (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have successfully lobbied to outlaw outdoor barbeques within city limits and suburbs of Portland, Oregon... The ban was based on a P.E.T.A. claim that the smell of cooking flesh is highly offensive and no one should be forced to endure the fumes from what they call "a crime worse than the Holocaust." Under the new law, individuals caught cooking meat outdoors can face a $2,000 fine or one day in jail. Shortly after the ruling was passed with a 6 to 1 vote, the animal rights activists marched through residential areas in a "victory parade," shaming residents with the collective chanting of slogans, amplified by their megaphones: "You are all thoughtless supporters of the animal Holocaust" and "Stop burning the flesh of your murder victims over hot coals."       http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/topic16430.html

Directive 11: 
nObama’s Secret Islamist Plan
Daniel Greenfield

.
     (frontpagemag.com) ~ Behind the rise of ISIS, the Libyan Civil War, the unrest in Egypt, Yemen and across the region may be a single classified document.
.
That document is Presidential Study Directive 11.
.
     You can download Presidential Study Directive 10 on “Preventing Mass Atrocities” from the White House website, but as of yet no one has been able to properly pry number 11 out of nObama Inc.
.
     Presidential Study Directive 10, in which nObama asked for non-military options for stopping genocide, proved to be a miserable failure. The Atrocities Prevention Board’s only use was as a fig leaf for a policy that had caused the atrocities. And the cause of those atrocities is buried inside Directive 11.
.
     With nObama’s typical use of technicalities to avoid transparency, Directive 11 was used to guide policy in the Middle East without being officially submitted. It is possible that it will never be submitted. And yet the Directive 11 group was described as “just finishing its work” when the Arab Spring began.
.
That is certainly one way of looking at it.
.
     Directive 11 brought together activists and operatives at multiple agencies to come up with a “tailored” approach for regime change in each country. The goal was to “manage” the political transitions. It tossed aside American national security interests by insisting that Islamist regimes would be equally committed to fighting terrorism and cooperating with Israel. Its greatest gymnastic feat may have been arguing that the best way to achieve political stability in the region was through regime change.
.
     What little we know about the resulting classified 18-page report is that it used euphemisms to call for aiding Islamist takeovers in parts of the Middle East. Four countries were targeted. Of those four, we only know for certain that Egypt and Yemen were on the list. But we do know for certain the outcome.
.
     Egypt fell to the Muslim Brotherhood, which collaborated with Al Qaeda, Hamas and Iran, before being undone by a counterrevolution. Yemen is currently controlled by Iran’s Houthi terrorists and Al Qaeda.
.
     According to a New York Times story, nObama’s Directive 11 agenda appeared to resemble Che or Castro as he “pressed his advisers to study popular uprisings in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia to determine which ones worked and which did not.”
.
     The story also noted that he “is drawn to Indonesia, where he spent several years as a child, which ousted its longtime leader, Suharto, in 1998.”
.
     The coup against Mubarak with its coordination of liberals, Islamists and the military did strongly resemble what happened in Indonesia. The most ominous similarity may be that the Muslim mobs in Indonesia targeted the Chinese, many of whom are Christians, while the Muslim mobs in Egypt targeted Coptic Christians.
.
     Both were talented groups that were disproportionately successful because they lacked the traditional Islamic hostility to education, integrity and achievement. Islamist demagogues had succeeded in associating them with the regime and promoted attacks on them as part of the anti-regime protests.
.
     Chinese stores were looted and thousands of Chinese women were raped by rampaging Muslims. Just as in Egypt, the protesters and their media allies spread the claim that these atrocities committed by Muslim protesters were the work of the regime’s secret police. That remains the official story today.
.
     Suharto’s fall paved the way for the rise of the Prosperous Justice Party, which was founded a few months after his resignation and has become one of the largest parties in the Indonesian parliament. PJP was set up by the Muslim Brotherhood’s local arm in Indonesia.
.
     His successor, Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, was more explicitly Islamist than Suharto and his Association of Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) conducted a campaign against Christians, Hindus and Buddhists. It helped purge non-Muslims from government while Islamizing the government and Indonesia’s key institutions.
.
     Habibie had been the Chairman of ICMI and ICMI’s Islamists played a key role in moving Suharto out and moving him in. It was obvious why nObama would have considered the Islamization of Indonesia and the purge of Christians under the guise of democratic political change to be a fine example for Egypt.
.
     While we don’t know the full contents of Directive 11 and unless a new administration decides to open the vaults of the old regime, we may never know. But we do know a good deal about the results.
.
In its own way, PSD-10 tells us something about PSD-11.
.
     nObama’s insistence that human rights be made a core national security interest paved the way for political and military interventions on behalf of Islamists. nObama had never been interested in human rights; his record of pandering to the world’s worst genocide plotters and perpetrators from Iran to Turkey to Sudan made that clear. When he said “human rights”, nObama really meant “Islamist power”.
.
     That was why nObama refused to intervene when the Muslim Brotherhood conducted real genocide in Sudan, but did interfere in Libya on behalf of the Brotherhood using a phony claim of genocide.
.
     Positioning Samantha Power in the Office of Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights at the National Security Council was part of the process that made over the NSC from national security to servicing a progressive wish list of Islamist terrorist groups that were to be transformed into national governments.
.
Power, along with Gayle Smith and Dennis Ross, led the Directive 11 project.
.
     Secret proceedings were used to spawn regime change infrastructure. Some of these tools had official names, such as “The Office of The Special Coordinator For Middle East Transitions” which currently reports directly to former ambassador Anne Patterson who told Coptic Christians not to protest against Morsi. After being driven out of the country by angry mobs over her support for the Muslim Brotherhood tyranny, she was promoted to Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs.
.
     “The Office” is still focused on “outreach to emergent political, economic and social forces in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya” even though counterrevolutions have pushed out Islamists in Egypt and Tunisia, while Libya is in the middle of a bloody civil war in which an alliance of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda controls the nation’s capital.
.
     But even as Morsi’s abuses of power were driving outraged Egyptians into the streets, Gayle Smith, one of the three leaders of Directive 11, reached out to the “International Union of Muslim Scholars”, a Muslim Brotherhood group that supported terrorism against American soldiers in Iraq and which was now looking for American support for its Islamist terrorist brigades in the Syrian Civil War.
.
     The men and women responsible for Directive 11 were making it clear that they had learned nothing.
.
     Directive 11 ended up giving us the Islamic State through its Arab Spring. PSD-11’s twisted claim that regional stability could only be achieved through Islamist regime change tore apart the region and turned it into a playground for terrorists. ISIS is simply the biggest and toughest of the terror groups that were able to thrive in the environment of violent civil wars created by nObama’s Directive 11.
.
     During the Arab Spring protests, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit had told Hilly Clinton that his government could not hand over power to the Muslim Brotherhood. “My daughter gets to go out at night. And, God damn it, I’m not going to turn this country over to people who will turn back the clock on her rights.”
.
     But that was exactly what Hilly Clinton and nObama were after. And they got it. Countless women were raped in Egypt. Beyond Egypt, Hilly and nObama’s policy saw Yazidi women actually sold into slavery.
.
     Directive 11 codified the left’s dirty alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood into our foreign policy. Its support for Islamist takeovers paved the way for riots and civil wars culminating in the violence that birthed ISIS and covered the region in blood.

 Hilly fails to win majority, Sanders close second in Wisconsin Dem straw poll -  San Francisco Sun Times: “Hilly Clinton may have won the Wisconsin straw poll over the weekend, but her margin of victory was much closer than her lead in any of the national polls. At the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention on Saturday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders had an impressive second place showing, finishing with 41 percent of the votes. Clinton won with 49 percent, but failed to get the majority. Out of the 511 delegate votes, Clinton received 252, while Sanders had 208.”

 SCOTUS Passes on Chance to Set 2A Ruling Right 
Not exactly profiles in courage, but the Supreme Court declined to review two lower court rulings upholding San Francisco's draconian gun control laws. The Associated Press reports, "The court on Monday let stand court rulings in favor of a city measure that requires handgun owners to secure weapons in their homes by storing them in a locker, keeping them on their bodies or applying trigger locks. A second ordinance bans the sale of ammunition that expands on impact, has 'no sporting purpose' and is commonly referred to as hollow-point bullets." Of course, in DC v. Heller, the Supreme Court struck down a requirement about locking down a firearm in the home, saying the Second Amendment protects the right of the people to keep a "lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense." So by declining to hear this case, the justices are allowing a patchwork of wrong interpretations of its ruling to stand. As Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, "Despite the clarity with which we described the Second Amendment’s core protection for the right of self-defense, lower courts, including the ones here, have failed to protect it." Furthermore, they're passing on an opportunity to clarify the most important point of all: The Second Amendment is not "for sporting purposes." The ban on hollow-point ammunition is beyond asinine, but the justices can't be bothered to fire anything but blanks.

 TSA: Terrorists Screening at Airports 
Now, after a security breach of its own making, the Transportation Security Agency wants more of the nation's data on terrorists to sift through, as if building a bigger haystack will solve the problem. The Office of Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security reports that the TSA let 73 people linked to terrorism work inside the nation's airports. According to the report, the TSA checks the Consolidated Terrorist Watchlist every time it's updated. But the DHS inspector general took the list of more than 900,000 airport workers and ran it against the National Counterterrorism Center's database. "TSA acknowledged that these individuals were cleared for access to secure airport areas despite representing a potential transportation security threat," the report read. The inspector general also found the TSA works with shoddy data, clearing people with incomplete names and missing passport numbers, for example. Step one for the TSA is to clean up the data. But questions remain: Will more access to the terrorism watchlist help? Who were the people the IG considers to have links to terrorism? Those details were redacted. And without that information, we can only take the TSA's word that this was a serious breach. On top of recent news of TSA screening failures, this doesn't increase our faith in bureaucracy.   -The Patriot Post

 Report Shows State Department Lied About Russia Arms Violation  
(Bill Gertz) ~ New details of the violation of provisions of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Force (INF) treaty were disclosed in the State Department’s latest annual report on arms treaty compliance... The latest report, made public last week, also reveals that the nObama administration misled the public about the INF treaty breach by not publicly disclosing the violation. The compliance report states Moscow “continued to be in violation of its obligations under the INF Treaty.” The treaty breach involves development of an illegal ground-launched cruise missile that the administration has not identified. The violation was first disclosed a year ago in the 2014 arms compliance report, although it had been discussed in secret reports and in Congress for several years.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/report-shows-state-department-lied-about-russia-arms-violation/

 Race Pimp Confronted Over His Agitation, In Riots and Funding

He’s asked about how he manages to cover his expenses, his supposed intent to become a 501(c)3 non-profit, and previous complaints he’s made about having not been paid for his agitation services.

 The nObama Admin Trained Muslim Terrorist; Now He Is With ISIS  
(Heather Clark) ~ A Tajikistan man who received counter-terrorism training in the United States has now joined the barbaric Islamic group ISIS and is threatening to do harm to Americans in a newly-released video... “Listen, you American pigs: I’ve been to America three times. I saw how you train soldiers to kill Muslims,” Gulmurod Khalimov declares in an online video, dressed in black and holding a sniper rifle. “You taught your soldiers how to surround and attack, in order to exterminate Islam and Muslims.” “From 2003 to 2008, I received specialized training in America on the military base of Blackwater,” he states, referring to a security contracting company that owned a training base in North Carolina. The company helped train fighters from other nations to help combat terrorism.       http://christiannews.net/2015/05/30/we-will-kill-you-former-counter-terrorism-trainee-taught-on-u-s-soil-now-waging-jihad-with-isis/

 The Benghazi Bonanza: A Bi-Partisan Scandal  
(judicialwatch.org) ~ The Benghazi affair is beginning to shape up as a bi-partisan scandal — making Trey Gowdy’s life doubly difficult, of course. But the former prosecutor has been doing a bang-up job with his select committee, demolishing the mantra that there is “nothing new” to be learned about Benghazi and building a sober, far-reaching inquiry... Without Gowdy, recall, there would be no Clinton secret server, no Sidney Blumenthal trail, no new emails, and no upcoming testimony from Mrs. Clinton and her inner circle .On the latter, Gowdy is holding firm, saying he will not schedule testimony until all relevant emails and documents have been turned over. This week, the House turned up the pressure on the State Department by threatening to withhold funding until the material is produced. Later, the full House could move to subpoena Mrs. Clinton’s server. Game on. Gowdy correctly notes that the first Clinton email release is “self-selected” and self-serving — but still, quite revealing. Mr. Blumenthal — a man actually barred from a State Department position by the nObama team — is revealed as a key Clinton advisor, up to his neck in murky and dubious Libyan schemes. Mrs. Clinton herself is shown to be contemptuous of the president — nObama be damned, she’ll take Sid — and deeply involved in Libya policy. Key aides closely follow the media and political fallout over the Benghazi attack. Gems are buried, but you need to know the map and where to dig.       http://www.judicialwatch.org/bulletins/the-benghazi-bonanza-a-bi-partisan-scandal/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Judicial%20Watch%20Tipsheet%20(13)&utm_content=

 The Clinton Record on Libya  
(Kenneth R. Timmerman) ~ On August 21, 2011, a top aide to Hilly Clinton penned a memo lauding his boss for steering U.S. policy in Libya, aimed at convincing the media of her accomplishments as Secretary of State... “HRC has been a critical voice on Libya in administration deliberations, at NATO, and in contact group meetings—as well as the public face of the U.S. effort in Libya. She was instrumental in securing the authorization, building the coalition, and tightening the noose around Qadhafi and his regime,” Clinton aide Jake Sullivan wrote. Sullivan’s memo to Mrs. Clinton’s inner circle is, of course, embarrassing today, which is one reason you are not reading about it on the front pages of The New York Times or The Washington Post. But that’s not the only reason.       http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-clinton-record-on-libya/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email061015&utm_medium=email

 McCon-nell’s TPP Softballs In Bret Baier Interview  
(rickwells.us) ~ Mitch McCon-nell is starting to look and sound more and more like his newest soul mate, Hussein nObama. In an interview with Bret Baier, McCon-nell described the Senate under his control as “working again.”... Working for whom is a relevant question that Baier should have asked but there are many others he never raised as well. McCon-nell proclaims the metric of Senate success as being the number of bills that they’ve passed. Content doesn’t matter, particularly whether or not something benefits the American people. Thirty “bipartisan” crony-serving bills later, with America on the verge of losing our Constitution to this turtle head and his co-conspirators, this disgusting RINO trash is patting himself on his shell regarding his “achievements and leadership.” Just short of the six minute mark in the video, the conversation turns to the important issue of TPP and the mad rush to pass it sight-unseen. Baier asks, “Why not make the trade bill transparent, why not tell people what’s in it? McCon-nell, who has already ushered it successfully to a lower approval threshold and an amendment-free and filibuster proof, up or down status, replied, “Well, we’re going to find out what’s in it because…” He’s interrupted as Baier reminds him that he sounds like Nancy Pulosi, to which McCon-nell plays stupid saying, “Oh no, no, it hasn’t been finalized yet.” He adds, “What trade promotion authority is is a process to deal with it. The trade agreement will be completely transparent. We’ll have a chance to vote whether to approve it or not.”        http://rickwells.us/mcconnells-tpp-softballs-in-bret-baier-interview-is-rupert-murdoch-helping-crony-cause/

 Presidential Deceit: nObama Defends the ACA  
(leanrightamerica.org) ~ Los Angeles Times reporter Christi Parsons asked the president what he would tell state leaders who are concerned that a ruling against federal subsidies would throw the healthcare market into chaos... nObama, pausing to gather his thoughts, said, “What I can tell state leaders is, is that under well-established precedent, there is no reason why the existing exchanges should be overturned through a court case.” He said that those who had crafted the nObamacare bill, both Republicans and Democrats, agreed that everyone was entitled to federal subsidies. “The record is clear.” But confidence and condescension are no match for the facts, and nObamacare architect Jonathan Gruber has stated numerous times that the law was set up specifically to encourage state-run exchanges. In one public statement, Gruber said, “If you’re a state and you don’t set up an exchange that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits.” This case isn’t based around a “twisted interpretation” of the law’s wording, as nObama would have us believe; that interpretation strikes to the heart of the bill’s intentions. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out the way nObama’s advisers hoped. 36 states chose not to set up their own exchanges, leaving nObama with no option but to fudge the details and provide those states with federal subsidies anyway. Now nObama wants to rewrite history, pretending as though the wording is a typo and not a carefully-planned incentive.       http://www.leanrightamerica.org/uncategorized/presidential-deceit-obama-defends-the-aca/

 nObamatrade support Falling Apart in House despite leadership push  
(Matthew Boyle) ~ Republican members aren’t buying what President Barack nObama and House Speaker Rep. backstabber John Boehner (R-OH) are selling when it comes to nObamatrade, and support for the president’s key trade agenda item is starting to fall apart rapidly amid grassroots pressure... “I’m voting against Trade Promotion Authority,” Rep. Paul Cook (R-CA) told Breitbart News on Tuesday. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), through a spokesman, confirmed he’s leaning no on nObamatrade. Many more Republican members who are publicly undecided are actually planning to vote against the legislation should leadership take it up for a vote, sources in many of their offices tell Breitbart News. According to a whip list that The Hill newspaper has been keeping since early May—it was last updated on Tuesday shortly after noon—at least 30 Republicans will vote no, (which includes several “lean” no votes). The total number of definite Republican no votes on Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast track the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal—the text of which is currently being kept hidden from the American people—is probably higher than 123, some sources close to the process tell Breitbart News, despite GOP leadership’s public statements that they will pass by voting on it soon — perhaps this week. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/09/exclusive-obamatrade-support-falling-apart-in-house-despite-leadership-push-123-against-and-counting/

 Politico's Clinton-Scandal Dismissals  
(Brent Bozell) ~ Politico keeps posting ridiculous columns by both Democrats and Republicans who charge that the Clinton scandals are either (1) nonexistent or (2) all politically harmless... Joe Conason, a leftist author who's been dismissing every Clinton scandal for decades in books with titles like "The Hunting of the President," is at it again. This time he's produced "The Fake Clinton Scandals Are Back: The right's newest crusade has an old fake villain." Conason should be easily dismissed by the editors for criminal ignorance -- or downright deception. One can downplay things like Benghazi. One cannot deny they are scandals -- or at the very least, serious controversies. It's better to focus on the second kind, a Republican who thinks the Clintons are much smarter than idiotic conservatives who hold their scandals against them.       http://townhall.com/columnists/brentbozell/2015/06/10/politicos-clintonscandal-dismissals-n2010448?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=

AMERICA’S RACE TO 
DIVERSITY DESTRUCTION
John Velisek USN (Ret)
.
     (coachisright.com) ~ This is not Alabama, this is not 1960 and George Wallace is not governor.
.
     We have a President who is incompetent, a narcissist and a liar; a President whose legacy is more important than the people of this country or of the world. He is a President who, as a result of his agenda and leadership, has made the United States a global laughingstock.
.
     We have a First Lady who, throughout her years of growing up and attending prestigious schools, was never once was proud of her country. She was only proud when her husband, the Muslim/Socialist-in-chief was elected. Affirmative action found her and led her through school even as she complained of the way people “looked” at her.
.
     nObama ensures the American public and the world that it is all about race. Recently, as nObama awarded the Medal of Honor to a black man who should have gotten it earlier, the president had to bring race into the ceremony, saying “that wasn’t the way things were done then.” It should have been a glorious and memorable day for this man’s family, for an action well deserved. But no, nObama had to drag mean ol’ whitey into it.
.
     Why then, even at the highest level is there still racism? White on black crime is just 10% of black on white crime and almost 300% less than black on black crime. But should a white policeman defend his life against a black attacker he is immediately branded a racist by the nation’s race baiters and across the mainstream media. Why is that and why are the hysterics of people like Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, the Black Panthers and others not exposed for the racist rants that they are? By the way, why if he owes $4 million to the IRS is Al Sharpton not in jail?
.
     Are whites the racists when there are riots after the Zimmerman trial but not the OJ trial? Affirmative action is discrimination, on a federal level, for past wrongs. The country has made it the law of the land. But how many of those eligible for the benefits of affirmative action have ever had a good thing to say about those that allowed it to pass?
.
     There has been gnashing of teeth and tears of rage over Trayvon Martin and other thugs who have been killed. How much pain has been felt and how much outrage offered by the media for the many people disabled or killed by blacks in knockout games throughout this country?
.
     The media and administration ignore black on white crime, assuring that neither those who get angry about it nor its victims will have their stories told. But it is a national truth, far more prevalent than white on black crime, even though Eric Holder made it clear he would not hold any of “his people” responsible for their actions. Who is the racist here, Mr. Holder. And who is the coward for their unwillingness to discuss race?
.
     Will that honest, serious discussion ever take place? I don’t think so. The racial victim industry is a multimillion business. Shakedowns are an everyday occurrence, a social issue that race hustlers can exploit for their own gain. Ask Jesse Jackson. After 40 years of giving them more and more, they have made it apparent that they will never be satisfied.
.
     This Administration always talks about fairness. But can it explain how the Black Panthers can get away with putting a bounty on George Zimmerman, blocking a polling place in Philadelphia, or stating it wants to enter a nursery school and kill all the white babies? This administration is a petty, vengeful group which literally wants racial animus in this country to explode. Barack nObama yearns for the races to become violent. He would enjoy nothing more than the shedding of blood. Yet that bloodletting will be on the hands of Holder, Sharpton, and nObama himself. This is what the Regime want, and their wholly owned media is complicit in helping bring the goal to fruition.
.
     And something else to discuss. Why is it that members of the black power movement, those that created the violence in Florida, Ferguson, and Baltimore, are being paid by George Soros while visiting Palestine on “solidarity missions?” Where does it go from here? Time will te

 A Tale of Two Crooks and the IRS 
With her roots in Roman mythology, Lady Justice represents morality and virtue through three symbols. First, she holds a set of scales in her left hand, to weigh evidence with reason and in light of the law. Second, she wields a double-edged sword in her right hand, representing the remedy impartially provided after the facts are laid bare before her. And third, she wears a blindfold, signifying that the law must be applied with objectivity and equality.
          Yet too often politicians seek to lift this blindfold, wanting to redefine justice based on the year’s election cycle or to subvert it through delays, denials and tactics that advance their agenda.
          Let’s examine two cases in which the Internal Revenue Service has been used as a tool for political revenge and harassment, and how they reflect an assault on justice that should offend all.
          Consider the identical approaches of Richard Nixon and Barack nObama. One a Republican and the other a Democrat, both illustrate power’s ability to corrupt to the extreme, instituting a false democracy where disagreement and disloyalty are silenced by heavy-handed tactics. 
          Nixon’s legacy as the 37th president is often defined by his impeachment. Posterity's view of nObama is still being penned, but both will be remembered for their unconstitutional misuse of government and for the tenured bureaucrats who willingly complied. -The Patriot Post

 2016 GOP POWER INDEX: FIORINA STILL RISING, PAUL  SURVIVES 
Scott Walker is right: Jeb Bush is still the frontrunner despite Walker’s increasing strength in national and early state polls. Bush’s expected financial advantages and name identification are enough to keep him in the top slot, but as he prepares to make his official announcement his grasp is getting more tenuous. The big weekend in Iowa reinforced the trend: Bush in his family clique and Walker the leader of the rest of the pack. And despite some dim polling news, Marco Rubio is still pretty clearly ahead of the rest of the pack in terms of his ability to make a broad appeal across party divisions
          But Rubio ought to keep his eye on Carly Fiorina, who is building up some momentum. Despite starting from flat-line name identification, Fiorina has consistently impressed on the stump and recently returned from what is said to have been a successful West Coast fundraising swing. Fiorina still lags in the horse race, but if she keeps doing what she has done in early states, Rubio will have to start thinking about her as a threat. While she still struggles to be seen as a top-of-the-ticket choice rather than a running mate, she is gaining an influential following.
       Rand Paul is the other gainer this week, snapping back after his domestic surveillance brinksmanship. The very best news for Paul after his Senate high-wire act last week was that nothing happened – no attacks, no lengthy interruptions of surveillance capacity, etc. Having proved to his base that he’s still their man, Paul can get back to an effort to broaden his appeal.

 Walker doesn’t rule out troops in Iraq -  Bloomberg: “Probable Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker says he wouldn’t rule out a full-scale American re-invasion of Iraq ‘if the national interests of this country are at stake.’ Appearing on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, the Wisconsin governor initially demurred when interviewer Jonathan Karl asked if he'd rule out a ‘full-blown U.S. re-invasion of Iraq and Syria…I don’t think we should ever send a message to our foes as to how far we’re willing to go,’ Walker said. He doesn’t think it's necessary to send U.S. troops now, he said, but he ‘would not rule out boots on the ground.’”
          “It’s interesting for the president, who called ISIS the ‘JV squad’ and Yemen a ‘success story,’ should tell someone to bone up on foreign policy.” – Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc., to ABC News.

 HILLY’S SINS OF OMISSION 
Almost done with her ‘ramp up’ phase, aides tell WSJ of Hilly Clinton’s soon to commence policy roll out featuring “about a dozen speeches and announcements in the coming months on social and economic policy.” So should voters expect definitive positions on topics like trade or Keystone, rather than the safe panders Clinton has been making to her party’s base? Nah. The Journal reports,“[w]ith the Affordable Care Act in place, Mrs. Clinton isn’t expected to focus on health care, once a signature issue. Nor is she planning a big speech on K-12 education, where her teacher union supporters are at odds with other Democrats who want to increase teacher accountability. Advisers say she also won’t focus on foreign policy in the coming months, perhaps devoting one speech to the subject…”
          “If you run a campaign trying to appeal to 60 to 70 percent of the electorate, you’re not going to run a very compelling campaign for the voters you need.”-  Former nObama campaign strategist David Plouffe to NYT on Hilly’s campaign strategy.
          More questions from the foundation - The Clinton Family Foundation, a smaller, charitable entity separate from the Clinton Global Initiative, donated $100,000 to a New York Times charitable fund in 2008, the same year the paper endorsed Hilly Clinton, according to documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The endorsement surprised many due to reports the paper was leaning towards backing then-Sen. Barack nObama.
          What’s that? - Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich said Sunday that his former boss President Bill Clinton “has to stop the paid speeches” and start disclosing everything. “She has got to, and her husband as well, got to just put everything out, Reich told ABC News. “I mean more disclosure than any other candidate.”

 The Secret Russian Role in Global Conflict  
(Cliff Kincaid) ~ In an extraordinary judgment that throws U.S. policy in the Middle East into complete turmoil, strategic analyst Michael Ledeen has concluded... in regard to the activities of the Islamic State, “I think the Russians are involved, in tandem with the Iranians, who have had their own troops on the Syrian battlefield for years.” This means that a U.S. congressional declaration of war on the Islamic State would miss the point, and that the Russians and the Iranians are the bigger threat. “It’s part of the global war, of which Syria is only one killing field, and IS [Islamic State] is one of the band of killers,” says Ledeen.       http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-secret-russian-role-in-global-conflict/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email060915&utm_medium=email

 Hilly's troubles may force loose lips Biden, Warren or hanoi Kerry...  
(Jeff Poor) ~ In an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Your World” on Monday, Democratic Party pollster Pat Caddell told host Neil Cavuto that a damaged Hilly Clinton may force others into the 2016 presidential field on the Democratic Party’s side if Clinton continues to appear she’s putting her party at risk... “We’re watching Bernie Sanders get real votes and I think part of it is because he is authentic,” Caddell said. “But he is quite a contrast. He’s drawing huge crowds in Iowa. I’m going to tell you what if this happens, we could get  Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), we could get loose lips Joe Biden. I would not leave him out of this or even Hanoi John Kerry.

You might say its father was Gamal Abdel Nasser, president of Egypt... He’d blockaded the Straits of Tiran via which Israel got oil from Iran, booted the UN peacekeepers from Sinai, massed his army there, and declared that his objective in any resulting war would be the end of the Zionist entity. “Death to Israel!” chanted the multitudes in Tahrir Square. Meanwhile the U.S., which ten years before had promised to keep the straits open, was too busy in Vietnam to keep its word. Things in 1967 were clear. We faced an emergency, faced it by ourselves, and faced it with a government most of us didn’t trust anymore. “The government in its present composition,” said the editors of Haaretz, referring to the coalition headed by the Mapai party (the precursor of today’s Labor) under Levi Eshkol, “cannot lead the nation in its time of danger.” A few days after this call for a change, Eshkol and the Mapai barons who’d founded, built, defended, and run the country practically by themselves for its first nineteen years did what had to be done.       http://mosaicmagazine.com/essay/2015/06/can-israel-unite/

 Abuse Victim's Fine Exposes Turkish Women's Harsh Reality  
(Abigail R. Esman) ~ First, there were the beatings in their home in Ankara, her husband's fist crashing hard against her body. Then came the beatings at the shelter, where she'd found refuge with their child, when the husband came to visit... The judge imposed a fine: 3,000 liras (about $1,000) against the man for physical abuse, and 3,000 more against the wife, for the injury to her husband's hand when he'd beaten her too hard. Turkey's elections Sunday may have indicated a wind change for the country, but Turkish women, who have suffered under the regime of Tayyip Recep Erdoğan, are not likely to feel the difference for a while, if at all. "These things happen so often," a friend said to me a year or so ago, "that we no longer notice them. There is always a story of an honor killing or a woman killed by her husband. It's become routine."       http://www.investigativeproject.org/4872/abuse-victim-fine-exposes-turkish-women-harsh

 Nuclear weapons labs hit with sizable fines for new security violations 
(Patrick Malone) ~ The nObama administration levied fines totaling nearly a million dollars this week against two of the nation’s nuclear weapons laboratories... mostly for failing to keep track of classified materials and for repeatedly disclosing information related to nuclear weapons design in public presentations stretching over nearly a decade. In notices published by the Energy Department on June 5, the National Nuclear Security Administration provided only general information about the materials and data that got loose but said the breaches were among the most serious such infractions, and could have an “adverse impact on national security.” It said a private company that operates Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, would be fined $577,500 for its poor handling of classified nuclear bomb design information.       http://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/06/05/17462/nuclear-weapons-labs-hit-sizable-fines-new-security-violations?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=watchdog&utm_medium=publici-email&goal=0_ffd1d0160d-22b99a4a60-100318285&mc_cid=22b99a4a60&mc_eid=19f9d76dda

 Egypt Summons U.S. Ambassador Over MB Visit  
(John Rossomando) ~ Egypt asked the U.S. ambassador in Cairo to account for the nObama administration's allowing Muslim Brotherhood officials to visit Washington for a private conference this week sponsored by the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy (CSID)... Egypt sought the recent meeting with Ambassador Stephen Beecroft to show its displeasure with American policy toward the Brotherhood, which it labels a terrorist organization. Delegation members include Amr Darrag, whose handling of drafting and ratifying Egypt's December 2012 constitution led to fears the Brotherhood aimed to impose a theocracy; and Wael Haddara, a Canadian Brotherhood member who served as an adviser to deposed President Mohamed Morsi.        http://www.investigativeproject.org/4873/egypt-summons-us-ambassador-over-mb-visit

 Iraqi Shiite militia commander threatens to attack US  
(Bill Roggio) ~ The leader of a powerful Iraqi Shiite militia that is operating against the Islamic State has threatened to attack the US after members of allied militia were killed in a blast in Anbar province over the weekend... Shiite militias have claimed that the US killed the militiamen in an airstrike, but US officials denied that aircraft were operating in the area when the blast took place. Akram Abbas al Kabi, the “secretary general” of the Harakat Nujaba, an Iranian-backed Shiite militia, blamed the US for a an explosion near Abu Ghraib last weekend that purportedly killed 10 members of the League of the Righteous, or Asaib al Haq. Some Iraqis have claimed that the US executed an airstrike that killed the militiamen. Kabi, who is listed by the US as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist for activities in Iraq, said all Shiite militias will get “vengeance” for the purported airstrike, which was carried out by “the treacherous American aircraft.” “All resistance movements will seek revenge in a timely manner,” Kabi stated.       http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2015/06/iraqi-shiite-militia-commander-threatens-to-attack-us.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LongWarJournalSiteWide+%28The+Long+War+Journal+%28Site-Wide%29%29

 Detained ISIS Fighters Reveal Ultimate Enemy is America  
(Scottie Hughes) ~ President nObama, at the conclusion of the G7 conference in Germany, said the US still does not have a “complete strategy” for training Iraqis. Critics quickly point out this shows a complete policy failure by this Administration as similar remarks had been made last August... Earlier in the day, President nObama had stated he was “confident that although it is going to take time, we are going to be successful, ISIL is going to be driven out of Iraq and ultimately it is going to defeated.” But his words seemed mild when compared to the passion of two detained Islamic State Extremist in a just released interview with Russian TV’s Eisa Ali.       http://www.tpnn.com/2015/06/09/video-detained-isis-fighters-reveal-ultimate-enemy-is-america/

Sabotage of American History

     (freedomsback.com) ~ A stellar group of American historians and academics released a milestone open letter yesterday in protest of deleterious changes to the advanced placement U.S. history (APUSH) exam. The signatories are bold intellectual bulwarks against increasing progressive attacks in the classroom on America’s unique ideals and institutions.
.
     Moms and dads in my adopted home state of Colorado have been mocked and demonized for helping to lead the fight against the anti-American changes to APUSH. But if there’s any hope at all in salvaging local control over our kids’ curriculum, it lies in the willingness of a broad coalition of educators and parents to join in the front lines for battles exactly like this one.
.
     As the 55 distinguished members of the National Association of Scholars explained this week, the teaching of American history faces “a grave new risk.” So-called “reforms” by the College Board, which holds a virtual monopoly on A.P. testing across the country, “abandon a rigorous insistence on content” in favor of downplaying “American citizenship and American world leadership in favor of a more global and transnational perspective.”
.
     The top-down APUSH framework eschews vivid, content-rich history lessons on the Constitution for “such abstractions as ‘identity,’ ‘peopling,’ ‘work, exchange and technology,’ and ‘human geography’ while downplaying essential subjects, such as the sources, meaning and development of America’s ideals and political institutions.” The scholars, who hail from institutions ranging from Notre Dame and Stanford to the University of Virginia, Baylor, CUNY, Georgetown and Ohio State, decried the aggressive centralization of power over how teachers will be able to teach the story of America.
.
     This is not a bug. It’s a feature, as I’ve been reporting for years on Fed Ed matters. These so-called APUSH reforms by the College Board, after all, are part and parcel of a radical upheaval in testing, textbooks and educational technology. It is no coincidence that the College Board’s president, David Coleman, supervised the Beltway operation that drafted, disseminated and profits from the federal Common Core standards racket.
.
     The social justice warriors of government education have long sought, as the NAS signatories correctly diagnosed it, “to de-center American history and subordinate it to a global and heavily social-scientific perspective.” Their mission is not to impart knowledge, but to instigate racial, social and class divisions. Their mission is not to assimilate new generations of students into the American way of life, but to turn them against capitalism, individualism and American exceptionalism in favor of left-wing activism and poisonous identity politics.
.
     The late far-left historian Howard Zinn has indoctrinated generations of teachers and students who see education as a militant political “counterforce” (an echo of fellow radical academic, domestic terrorist and Hugo Chavez-admirer Bill Ayers’ proclamation of education as the “motor-force of revolution.”) Teachers aim to “empower” student collectivism by emphasizing “the role of working people, women, people of color and organized social movements.” School officials are not facilitators of intellectual inquiry, but leaders of “social struggle.”
.
     The APUSH critics make clear in their protest letter that they champion a “warts and all” pedagogical approach to their U.S. history lessons. But they point out that “elections, wars, diplomacy, inventions, discoveries — all these formerly central subjects tend to dissolve into the vagaries of identity-group conflict” as a result of the APUSH overhaul.
.
     “Gone is the idea that history should provide a fund of compelling stories about exemplary people and events,” the scholars point out. “No longer will students hear about America as a dynamic and exemplary nation, flawed in many respects, but whose citizens have striven through the years toward the more perfect realization of its professed ideals.”
.
     This is precisely why I dedicated the past two years to writing my latest book, “Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs.” When it comes to understanding the foundations of our free-market economy, the Founding Fathers’ embrace of private profit as a public good, and the boundless entrepreneurial success stories of individual American achievement, our children’s diet is woefully unbalanced.
.
     Reclaiming our kids’ minds begins long before students reach the A.P. U.S. history classroom. Restoration begins at home.

 SO MUCH FOR WHITE PRIVILEGE 
WHDH: “Students in Lynn [Mass.] were surprised by a man dressed as a Stormtrooper outside their school Wednesday, and the man is now facing charges. After snapping pictures and taking cell phone video, parents in Lynn could not stop talking about the bizarre scene outside the Brickett Elementary School. A man dressed up in an elaborate Star Wars Stormtrooper costume, complete with a black toy laser gun, appeared on the sidewalk moments before school was about to release. … George Cross, 40, of Lynn, was arraigned on charges of disturbing a school in addition to violating a city ordinance of loitering within 1,000 feet of a school. ‘I bought a costume, I was walking through the neighborhood showing friends, and then all that,’ said Cross as he left the courthouse.”

 nObama's Iraq Strategy: Leave It for the Next Prez 
"If [the Iraqis] are not willing to fight for the security of their country, we cannot do that for them," Barack nObama declared again, though he reiterated his commitment to helping train Iraqi troops over a "multi-year" period. According to State Department official and Islamic State expert Brett McGurk, "It's a three-year campaign to degrade the organization." And as National Journal puts it, "Three years marked from mid-2014, of course, falls after Jan. 20, 2017, the date nObama leaves office. Translation: The strategy is to avoid sending ground troops for the remainder of his term. So stop asking." Indeed, nObama campaigned in 2008 on ending the Iraq war. In 2011, having rejected the Bush strategy of establishing a status of forces agreement (SOFA) to secure our hard-won gains in Iraq and the region, nObama declared, "Everything Americans have done in Iraq, all the fighting, all the dying, the bleeding, the building and the training and the partnering, all of it has led to this moment of success. … We're leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self-reliant Iraq." And a narcissist can't admit he's wrong. He's going to stubbornly stand pat, keep declaring victory, and leave the Islamic State for the next commander in chief to clean up.
          Indeed, his spokesman Josh Earnest explicitly said just that: "In 2017, there will be a new commander in chief and someone else who will have a responsibility to evaluate the situation on the ground and determine what steps are necessary to continue to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL. That's something that we'll leave to the next president." But what will the next 18 months bring?  -The Patriot Post

 China Stole Data of Four Million 
Now that the NSA is done scraping up the nation's phone data, it should get on the task of protecting the U.S. from intrusions like the one that happened last December. U.S. investigators said that the personal data of four million current and former federal employees were stolen by hackers — most likely from China. While the Chinese Embassy in DC denied the allegation that the country was responsible for the intrusion, U.S. intelligence says the Chinese military is collecting a massive database on Americans, possibly as a way to find and recruit Americans as spies. "The breach is yet more evidence that Beijing sees the U.S. as an adversary and is unworried about any response aggression will elicit from the White House," writes National Review's Michael Auslin. "Whether it's economic espionage, security challenges, or now hacking U.S. government websites, Beijing is testing, probing, and undermining America in any way that they can." While the nObama administration's Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal has some questions and drawbacks, a trade deal with the nations near China is a natural opportunity, a good first step, to diminish China's influence in the Pacific. More...  -The Patriot Post

 EPA Contradicts Ecofascists on Fracking 
For years, environmentalists have seen hydraulic fracturing — also known as fracking — as an insidious threat. Energy companies have used the technique to reach oil and gas deposits previously out of reach of traditional extraction methods. It's a big reason why the nation has surged forward as one of the top oil producers in the world. After spending years studying fracking's effect on drinking water, the Environmental Protection Agency released a draft report concluding, "We did not find evidence that these mechanisms have led to widespread, systemic impacts on drinking water resources in the United States. … The number of identified cases [where fracking led to contamination], however, was small compared to the number of hydraulically fractured wells." This is a fire hose of water on the ecofascists' heated rhetoric. Last year, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, listening to the fear mongering of environmentalists, used an executive order to ban fracking in The Empire State. "EPA's conclusion really is remarkable," writes The Wall Street Journal. "The agency has yearned for an excuse to take over fracking regulation from the states, which do the job well. So if there was so much as a sliver of evidence that fracking was dangerous, the EPA would have found it." More…  -The Patriot Post

 nObama Surrenders The Internet To The UN  
(Robert Chambers) ~ In a speech last month before European leaders, Secretary of State hanoi John Kerry showed the administration’s cards over whether control of the Internet would remain in U.S. hands or be surrendered to foreign bureaucrats loyal and foreign governments not necessarily friendly to the United States or its interests... At the time, hanoi Kerry said the Internet “needs rules to be able to flourish and work properly” and that an international body like the United Nations is well situated to take on that role. Now the nObama Administration has dropped the other shoe by issuing a timetable the U.S. will follow to cede oversight of the non-profit that manages the Internet’s infrastructure – the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) – to “a global multi-stakeholder body” before next year’s presidential elections.        http://www.citizen-action.com/obama-surrenders-internet-un/article1256?utm_source=Elist&utm_medium=email&utm_content=subscriber_id:36395093&utm_campaign=Daily%20Newsletter%20-%2006/08/2015

 David Axelrod Keeps Giving Hilly Clinton Hell  
(David Rutz) ~ Former Barack nObama senior adviser David Axelrod has made a habit of sharply criticizing Democratic presidential candidate Hilly Clinton, often going after her silence or reticence to take on issues important to the Democratic Party... Axelrod was instrumental in helping nObama defeat Clinton in a shocking political upset during the brutal 2008 Democratic primary, and he laid out what he saw as her weaknesses as a candidate in his memoir Believer. Now, as a political commentator, he’s still going after her. BuzzFeed reported last week that Axelrod said Clinton was “hurt” by her “sporadic” campaign events and appearances, and that once again inevitability was proving to be a “real burden.”

 China Hack OK With nObama – It’s America’s Fault  
(rickwells.us) ~ We’re seeing what happens when the world’s super power also becomes the world’s greatest debtor nation. The situation gets particularly dicey when a large portion of our debt is owed to our chief economic rival, and that rival is also hostile political predator... When China says jump, nObama asks how high and blames it on global warming. Rather than express outrage at the discovery of the Chinese government’s hacking of our federal computer system and responding appropriately with the loss of most favored nation trade status, demands to halt expansionism in the South China Sea, an insistence upon an end to currency manipulation or anything else that might be made possible through what should be a weakened position on the part of the Chinese, nObama ignores the perpetrator and instead blames the United States.

 ARE MEDIA JUST HILLY'S FAIR-WEATHER FRIENDS?  
(David Limbaugh) ~ Don’t you find it a bit odd that two glaringly contradictory narratives surround Hilly Clinton’s bid for the presidency – inevitability and “she’s in trouble”?... I’ve never been convinced, as I’ve written before, of Hilly’s inevitability. In fact, I rarely believe the media or members of the establishment of either party when they anoint any candidate as inevitable. These people tend to live in the Northeastern power corridor but are often oblivious to what the rest of the country is thinking. Even with the mainstream media doing everything they can to shield Hilly from scrutiny, she is beginning to self-destruct. Her past is catching up with her – her distant and recent past; none of it is pretty, and she is an affirmatively horrible candidate. Everywhere you turn today you’re seeing stories about Hilly’s looming problems. Just type her name in Google and see what you find.     http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/are-media-just-hillarys-fair-weather-friends/

 Hilly's plans to stuff the ballot box  
(Phyllis Schlafly) ~ Hilly Clinton has laid out her game plan for winning back the White House for herself and her husband next year. Let’s hope Republicans were paying attention... She apparently decided it won’t be enough to rely on the 66 million people who voted twice for Barack nObama, many of whom are disillusioned by the failure of “hope and change.” nObama promised an end to wars in the Middle East, a more prosperous economy for the average American and more harmonious race relations, but all three problems have only gotten worse. Who are the new voters to whom Hilly wants to give “access to the ballot box”? They include felons and non-citizens, along with anyone who can’t prove identity, citizenship, or residence within the voting precinct. She also plans to harvest millions of new votes by expanding the dangerous practices of same-day registration and early voting, which enable Democrats to badger, berate, bribe, or bamboozle reluctant low-information voters to the polls. Democratic Party and union workers can identify reluctant voters and harass them until the party worker verifies that they have actually cast their ballot.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/hillarys-plans-to-stuff-the-ballot-box/

 Is nObama Trying To Intimidate Supreme Court On nObamacare?  
(Jeff Dunetz) ~ Two months before the last Supreme Court ruling on nObamacare, on April 2, 2012 President nObama made a statement that was seen as an attempt to bully the court to approve the individual mandate as constitutional... Whether it worked or not cannot be proved, what is known is that at the very last minute Chief Justice Roberts changed his vote and the mandate was saved from the executioner. He based his change on his interpretation that the mandate was a tax, something that the president himself had denied. In other words this is such an easy slam dunk for my side that the Supreme Court will easily vote my way, and if they don't they not judged fairly and have twisted the meaning of the bill.  It will be interesting to see when the court releases the ruling in a week or two if there was another coincidental change in votes.       http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/06/is-obama-trying-to-intimidate-supreme.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1a9cb26e01-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-1a9cb26e01-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-1a9cb26e01-291705165

 Leaked Information: Khamenei’s Lies Exposed  
(Dr. Malid Rafizadeh) ~ Iran’s paramount religious leader can be described as one of the longest-ruling dictators in the Middle East who still enjoys the throne... An ideologue and a Shiite Islamist, he is also a shrewd Machiavellian politician. Although he attempts to project himself to the Muslim world as a united religious leader who pursues truth, faith, and honesty, his double-faced character can easily be detected in the discrepancies among his statements and policies. When Khamenei came to power, he lacked the charisma of his predecessor, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. To rule, he continued the major policies of his predecessor, relying on hard power and hardliners to suppress domestic opposition, making different statements to the public than in private, and funding Shiite or non-Shiite extremists groups in the region such as Hezbollah and the Houthis.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/majid-rafizadeh/leaked-information-khameneis-lies-exposed/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bc8a7b617c-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-bc8a7b617c-156509103

 As Muslims Are Slaughtering Innocent People...  
(Walid Shoebat) ~ When it comes to a comparison between U.S. President nObama and Egypt’s Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi, the latter proves to be the better man since the first wants air conditioning and medical support for ISIS terrorists... Here is how the story goes. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi recently appealed to the United States to play a greater role in helping his country fight terrorism, telling Fox News that while the U.S. has helped Egypt for decades, Egypt needs that help “more than ever,” and wants to see a “big response from capable countries.” Al-Sisi’s government is threatened from ISIS in Libya and the Sinai. So what does nObama do? The nObama administration as it was just revealed, has sent Congress a report that harshly criticizes the Egyptian government.       http://shoebat.com/2015/06/08/as-muslims-are-slaughtering-innocent-people-obama-makes-this-declaration-to-congress-isis-terrorists-should-be-given-good-treatment-and-should-be-provided-with-medical-care-and-air-conditioning/

Our Delusional President
Rush Lambaugh

     (rushlimbaugh.com) ~ Have you heard what nObama said?  Grab audio sound bite number 18.  This is yesterday in Washington at the White House, the president speaking to fellows of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative.
.
One of the important principles for me has always been treating everybody fairly.
.
So whether that's women or people of different races -- or, uh, different religious faiths -- or different sexual orientations -- one of my core principles -- is that I will never engage in a politics in which I'm trying to divide people --
.

JlNhVWNTZ9W3lyMxys8rdWKslRtWZZXeyLMLYXzmibRlQBC5GNUI3X5XdkNnFSNAjJ0BzfVWqvr1Jh_FLMY6FVz6A3gSIbaypokPHfupG4O0yyLOKhFJ3zIt7MRPnAySwEUDkiketbNFKYqk=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=

-- or make them less than me because they look different or have a different religion.  That's a core principle! I...  That's not something I wou ld violate.
.
     Really?  Folks, this is classic.  Go out... It's just the exact opposite.  He clearly sees certain people as lesser.  He clearly sees people that he doesn't like that he considers to be enemies, people that need to be gotten even with, and he clearly has divided people.  I mean, by design! There could be no other result for some of the reasons or same things that nObama has done as president.  But it got even funnier -- or maybe you would say more delusional.
.
     People don't remember, when I came into office, uh, the United States in world opinion ranked below China and just barely above Russia.  And today, once again the United States is the most respected country on earth.
.
     And part of that I think is because of the work that we did to, uh, reengage the world and say that we want to work with you as partners, uh, with mutual interests and mutual respect.  It's on that basis that we were able to end two wars.
.
     Here's the thing: I think he really believes it.  I don't think that he's just saying this for the record.  I think he really believes this stuff, folks.  This is what makes this so problematic to me.  Now, he's delusional. If he really means this, if he really believes this, he's delusional.  If I'm wrong, if he doesn't believe it, if it's just political positioning, it doesn't matter.  In stuff like this, motivation actually doesn't matter. 
.
     It's the hard, actual fact or result that you have to deal with.  The motivation's just a sideline.  And this is absurd.  The country was never hated and despised.  The first myth here and one of the things that got nObama elected was the media and the Democrat Party running around claiming the world hated the United States because of George Bush and Dick Cheney. It despised us, hated us, and we needed to elect these guys to once again make Europe love us!
.
     Because Europe was the cutting edge. Europe was the gold standard. Europe and being European was exactly what we should aspire to. Being loved and adored by European socialists, and being loved and adored by our enemies in the Middle East.  I'm sure that nObama, in his world, as a narcissist, actually does walk around thinking that he has rebuilt all this love and respect and adulation for himself and for the country.
.
     But this idea, "I've restored America to the host respected country on earth"?  Next he's going to say, "I made Baltimore the safest city in America," and he'll follow that by saying, "Hilly Clinton and I made Libya, Iraq, and Syria the safest countries on earth." Next, "Hilly and I also neutered Russia and China with our reset program!" He will say, "We have got the cheapest health care system in the world now, thanks to me."

     Have you heard the news about that today, folks?  Have you heard what your health care premiums next year are gonna do?  Have you heard about increases along the lines of 26%?  Do you know why?  Because they don't have enough members. They don't have any people signing up for health care in large enough groups to bring the prices down.  Yet there's nObama. He promised everybody premiums gonna come down $2500! "Keep your doctor and keep your plan if you like it!
.
     "Everybody's gonna have health care! Health care's gonna be much cheaper and much more accessible."  So the next thing he's gonna tell us is he never lied about health care. He made health care cheaper than it's ever been in the United States.  He'll follow that by pointing out that he has created the greatest growth in GDP in the entire history of the American economy.  He will remind us that he said he was gonna cut the national debt in half, and then he will claim that he did it.
.
     He'll follow that by saying, "I made the Veteran Administration Hospitals the greatest health care providers on earth."  I mean, to run around and say that he's restored America to the most respected country on earth is no different than saying he's made Baltimore the safest city on earth and that he's lowered health care costs dramatically across the board.  This is delusional.  But you see, the thing is, we once again are up against it. 
.
     On the one hand over here we have reality.  On the other hand we have the media and nObama and a combo desire to make nObama look as though he has been and is the greatest president the country's ever had.  Make no mistake: That's the objective.  So nObama goes out and says this, and that permits the media to report it and to stand on it and to analyze it and to write stories about how it's actually true. (interruption) Well, you wait! That's the next thing that's gonna happen. 
.
     There will be deep analytical pieces, fact-check type stories, too.  "Is nObama's claim that he's restored America to the most respected country on earth true or false?"  And you're gonna see in depth -- oh, you won't believe it, in-depth analysis -- going back eight years, interviews with world leaders all over the world, and they will come to the conclusion that while it may not look like it on the surface, nObama has dramatically made this country more respected than it was when he took office.
.
     It'll be another opportunity to bash Bush and bash the Republicans.  So once again an alternative reality will be created that will be taught in schools. It'll be in the mainstream media, Drive-By Media on a daily basis. They will just create this stuff out of whole cloth, and it will become the next new reality.  Half the country or more are gonna be sitting around scratching their heads wondering, "How the hell can this happen?"
.
Everybody is gonna be asking, "Are you kidding me?  How in the world is this happen?"
.
     The answer's gonna be like every other answer is: "It cannot happen without a complicit, compliant bunch of accomplices in the media," pure and simple.  There won't be any push-back on the Republican Party on this. This is not even about Hilly Clinton's campaign.  This is not about electing the next Democrat.  This is all about legacy.  This is like Benghazi.  It's like restructuring what really happened in Benghazi. 
.
     By the end of his administration, Benghazi's gonna be nothing really happened there except a great, great policy that nobody was able to see at the time. (nObama impression) "I'm gonna tell you what.  I'm the first president to guarantee health care for every American.  Affordable!  And I'm the first president that made sure that we deal with Iran on nuclear weapons."  He won't say how. He's just gonna say he's the first president to have done it.  That's what he wants in the history books, and that's what these claims are all about.  Let's just see if I'm right. 
.
      Let's see how long it takes for there to be in the mainstream media little stories analyzing these claims. Some fact check-type stories such as you get in the Washington Post and the AP and other deep analytical places, in places like the New York Times Sunday Magazine, the New York Review of Books, places like the Brookings Institute, think tanks and so forth. Deep, deep analysis! I mean, so much intellectual-speak that nobody can follow it, keep up with it, translate it, understand it.
.
     But the conclusion will be, "My God, nObama was right!" That's what's being set up here.  We have to be able to just entirely...It is two universes here.  The real universe is where you and I are, and there's this alternative, alternate universe over here, which we don't understand.  Well, no.  We understand it. What we don't understand is how so many people can buy into it so readily.
