“Hilly Clinton lacks a track record of accomplishment. She is not candid, which suggests her character is flawed. And I think now in e-mail gate, we not only have a situation where she is clearly not being candid. I mean, her saying all those e-mails she erased were just her and Bill chatting is a little bit like Richard Nixon saying those erased moments on the tape were he and Pat talking.” –Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina on “Fox News Sunday” Watch here. -Fox News
What’s really in a RFRA? - The Federalist’s Gabriel Malor observes: “This law, known as a Religious Freedom Restoration Act or RFRA (pronounced ‘riff-ra’), tracks the language of the 1993 federal RFRA signed into law by President Clinton after a 97-3 vote in the Senate. But you would not necessarily know how innocuous it is from news media coverage. According to what you might hear in the news, this is an anti-gay law that is ‘almost universally loathed,’ and which a White House official suggested would ‘legitimize discrimination.’ Indiana’s RFRA has none of these characteristics.”
“There’s a lot of people across this country who, you're looking at nObamaCare and the Hobby Lobby decision, looking at other cases, who feel that their religious liberty is being infringed upon and, and The Religious Freedom Restoration Act at the federal level and all the states now, including Indiana, who have it, are simply about addressing that. This is not about discrimination.” – Gov. Mike Pence, R-Ind., on ABC’s “This Week” What’s really in a RFRA? - The Federalist’s Gabriel Malor observes: “This law, known as a Religious Freedom Restoration Act or RFRA (pronounced ‘riff-ra’), tracks the language of the 1993 federal RFRA signed into law by President Clinton after a 97-3 vote in the Senate.

BLACKBURN FIGHTS NEW INTERNET REGS
Hello, Internet! So who is in charge of you? The nObama administration is pushing through a plan to regulate the Internet like it does telephones, with rules for fees, requirements for carriers and new fees. Could that also mean the government would have control over the content? Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn has taken up the charge to fight the move. The Tennessee Republican joins Chris Stirewalt to discuss what’s at stake for the consumer and the legislative steps she’s taking to stop the FCC. WATCH HERE. -Fox News

DON’T YOU WISH OUR CAMPAIGNS WERE 38 DAYS LONG?
Sky News: “David Cameron said in five years he had put Britain ‘back on her feet again’ as he formally fired the starting gun on the election race after a meeting with the Queen. Speaking on the steps of Number 10 after returning from Buckingham Palace where he asked the Queen to dissolve Parliament, Mr Cameron said voters face a "stark choice" between him and Ed Miliband. With 38 days to go until the election, the Conservatives would offer strong leadership and a country that was safe and secure but Mr Miliband would offer a country mired in ‘economic chaos’” -Fox News

Conn. Governor Lashes Out at Indiana's Religious Freedom Law
In response to Indiana's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy announced he would sign an executive order banning state-funded travel to Indiana. This is the same knee-jerk reaction from Malloy that brought Connecticut some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation. "Because of Indiana's new law, later today I will sign an Executive Order regarding state-funded travel," Malloy wrote on Twitter. "When new laws turn back the clock on progress, we can't sit idly by. We are sending a message that discrimination won't be tolerated." Well, we guess every liberal has to do his or her part to chip away at religious liberty. But Malloy really could have given it some thought before he acted, as Connecticut is one of the 19 states in the union that has the very same law on its books. In fact, some argue the Constitution State's law is more absolute in protecting religious Liberty than Indiana's -- and it hasn't been a problem until liberals decided otherwise.

nObama’s Al Qaeda Ally Now Leading ISIS in Libya
(pamelageller.com) - Like Yemen, another nObama success story, Libya is in fact another triumph for jihad savages and Islamic imperialism. Back in early 2011, I warned that it was al Qaeda agitating in Libya, and that nObama was aligning with our mortal enemies...If I knew, do you imagine that nObama didn’t? After abandoning our people in Benghazi and leaving them there to be burned, tortured, slaughtered, etc., would it come to anyone’s surprise that nObama’s freedom fighter is now leading the Islamic State in the jihadist state of Libya? http://pamelageller.com/2015/03/obamas-al-qaeda-ally-now-leading-isis-in-libya.html/

nObama’s Surrender to Iran Postponed
(Arnold Ahlert) - According to an Associated Press report, the Iranian nuke negotiations have engendered an agreement—to continue taking in hopes of reaching a final agreement by the end of June...As an unnamed senior U.S. official put it, talks between Iran and the P5+1 powers (the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany) would continue past yesterday’s deadline for the outline of an agreement if enough progress was made to justify that extension. By late yesterday that contention was confirmed: talks will continue through today. As talks wound down in Lausanne, Switzerland, the words “framework agreement” had been softened to “framework of understanding,” reflecting the reality that major issues remain unresolved. They include differences regarding the allowable scope of Iran’s uranium enrichment program, where stockpiles of enriched uranium should be located, what limits on Iran’s nuclear research and development should be imposed, and the timing and range of sanctions relief that would be granted in return. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/arnold-ahlert/obamas-surrender-to-iran-postponed/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=baee60d6e6-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-baee60d6e6-156509103

Islamic State Ebooks Advise Jihadis on Evading Detection
(John Rossomando) - Islamic State supporters published two English-language ebooks online last weekend, advising potential recruits how to evade detection. One, How to Survive in the West: A Mujahid Guide (2015), advises potential jihadis in Europe how to form sleeper cells...Hijrah to the Islamic State: What to Pickup, Who to Contact, Where to Go, Stories and More! targets potential recruits seeking to join them in Syria. The foreword to How to Survive in the West promises to "teach you how to be a secret Agent who lives a double life," which it advises will be a must for Muslims in the coming years. "The disbelievers in the West started/commenced the attacks against the masses of Muslims first, accusing us of being terrorists. Will you not fight such people?" the author of How to Survive in the West wrote. He suggests focusing attacks on those who insult Islam or Muslims because they are the "real enemies." http://www.investigativeproject.org/4811/islamic-state-ebooks-advise-jihadis-on-evading

No Contempt Charges For Lois Lerner – Sen. Menendez Indicted
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - Let’s see. We’ve got two corrupt individuals, here, but two very different treatments under the law...One of the above did everything she was asked to do and more, kept her mouth shut and destroyed evidence. She gets a gold star. The other person did bad. He was critical of the administration’s negotiations with Iran and embarrassed the president. He gets indicted. This is the the quasi fascist state of law enforcement in America today where the DOJ selectively and capriciously decides to enforce the law to the benefit of some and the detriment of others – depending on political considerations. https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/doj-no-contempt-charges-for-lois-lerner-sen-menendez-indicted/

France Leaves Iran Nuclear Talks, Will Return When ‘Useful’
(Hana Levi Julian) - French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is leaving the marathon negotiations that have gone into overtime led by the United States between world powers and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear technology activities...A French official told France 24 today (Wednesday, April 1) that Fabius was leaving the talks and would return from France when it was “useful.” Speaking at a joint news conference with Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin, French President Francois Hollande said it would be better to have no deal than a bad deal – the same opinion expressed last month by Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu while speaking to the U.S. Congress. http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/france-leaves-iran-nuclear-talks-will-return-when-useful/2015/04/01/

Leak of Secret Trade Doc Reveals Sovereignty-destroying Courts
(William F. Jasper) - Why has the nObama administration kept the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement text secret from Congress and the American people? A newly leaked TPP chapter reveals at least one huge reason...The TPP text proposes creating tribunals (courts) that could overrule the decisions of our state and federal courts, as well as our local, state and federal laws — and our state and national constitutions. The tribunals would be presided over by arbitrators (judges) appointed by the secretary-general of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), an institution of the World Bank Group. The ICSID is housed at the World Bank’s headquarters complex in Washington, D.C. The ICSID receives its funding from the World Bank, and the ICSID’s governing Council is chaired by the president of the World Bank. So the proposed TPP tribunals are, in essence, a means for transferring judicial authority over vast areas of domestic law to “arbitrators” picked by the World Bank — and the central bankers and the giant commercial/investment bankers that run the World Bank. http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/20563-leak-of-secret-trade-document-reveals-sovereignty-destroying-courts?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=9ff1759f07-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-9ff1759f07-289778381

Senators Demand Answers From DHS Secretary Johnson...
(rickwells.us) - There’s a reality that exists in DHS which the current leadership doesn’t publicly recognize and works to stifle through a variety of means, most notably through intimidation...That is the fact that most of the public servants who put on the uniform of the Border Patrol and those who work for ICE do so with a considerable patriotic component. Much as members of our armed forces are motivated by a desire to defend their nation, that spirit is shared by many of those who chose to defend our borders. Those patriotic Americans now find themselves in an untenable position, faced with a management that mandates they abandon the patriotism component of their motivation to service, their devotion to their nation, and the sanctity of their oaths to uphold the Constitution as conditions upon which to keep their positions or to advance their careers. Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson has mandated a reduction in immigration enforcement efforts across the board as well as the release of captured illegal aliens, including those with criminal convictions in this country. http://www.rickwells.us/senators-demand-answers-from-dhs-secretary-johnson-on-retaliation-against-employees-his-own-lawbreaking/

ISIS Conquers Palestinian Refugee Camp in Damascus
(investigativeproject.org) - Islamic State terrorists conquered large areas of the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital Wednesday and are battling Palestinian faction Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis for control, media reports indicate... "Fighters from ISIS launched an assault this morning on Yarmouk and they took over the majority of the camp," said Anwar Abdel Hadi, Damascus-based director of political affairs for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). This latest incursion represents ISIS' most significant territorial gain into Syria's capital. Meanwhile, a senior Hamas leader Yehia Hourani, was killed in the camp on Monday, according to a Hamas statement which referred to Hourani's death as an assassination. http://www.investigativeproject.org/4810/isis-conquers-palestinian-refugee-camp-in-Damascus

♦ In 2015, if there’s one thing we have in spades, it’s cause for embarrassment. For instance, the other night I started watching a documentary about Jerry Lewis. My only excuse is that I always found him somewhat fascinating in a creepy way. But I gave up after listening to the likes of Steven Spielberg, Alec Baldwin, Billy Crystal, Richard Belzer, Quentin Tarantino, Chevy Chase, Richard Lewis, Carol Burnett and Carl Reiner, praising Lewis as a comic genius.
Now, granted, guys like Tarantino, Spielberg and Baldwin, know as much about comedy as I do about space travel. But for Carol Burnett, Billy Crystal and Carl Reiner, to insist that the man who spent 50 years walking around on his ankles and pretending to be mentally retarded was the epitome of comedic genius verges on lunacy. When I was nine years old, I already recognized that Jerry Lewis was one step down from the Three Stooges.
I blame the French. Early on, they told him he was brilliant, kissed him on both cheeks and gave him a medal. Because they have no military heroes, they have plenty left over to pin on pretentious frauds.
The medal affected him the way the diploma went to the Scarecrow’s head in “The Wizard of Oz.” Before you knew it, Ray Bolger was spouting off about the square root of a hypotenuse, sounding exactly like Jerry Lewis trying to sound scholarly about pratfalls.
♦ If you have a child of questionable morals who wishes to become very rich, my suggestion is that you direct him into criminal defense work. Take Robert Durst’s lawyers…please. They became legendary because they convinced a jury of 12 morons that even though Durst admitted killing his elderly neighbor, Morris Black, dismembering the man’s body and dropping the parts into Galveston Bay, before stealing Mr. Black’s car and driver’s license, jumping bail and fleeing to Bethlehem, PA, it was a simple case of self-defense.
In a sane world, it’s the jurors who would have become famous, and ever after, whenever someone anywhere in the world said or did something unbelievably stupid, they’d be asked if they’d served on that Galveston jury.
♦ On another matter involving fleeing, something that never fails to confound me is that millions of people will pack up and leave California, New York, Mexico and Guatemala, for perfectly sound reasons…and then do everything in their power to replicate the very place from which they were escaping.
♦ Jonah Goldberg delivered a classic critique of Hilly Clinton’s speeches I wish I could claim as my own: “I am woman, hear me bore.”
♦ Finally, I hear from a number of readers who share my politics, but who are religious and who keep expecting God to respond to their prayers and deliver us from nObama prior to 2017. I wish them well, but I am reminded of a line I once gave Father Mulcahy on a “MASH” episode: “God answers all prayers, but sometimes His answer is ‘No.’”
President nObama Must Not Complete a Disastrous Deal With Iran
(New York Observer) - With the US on the brink of signing an agreement that will lift the crippling economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for alleged guarantees that Iran will limit its nuclear ambitions to peaceful means...the Observer urges President nObama not to place his personal hunger for a legacy issue ahead of his most solemn duty – protecting America's national security. Barack nObama has been compared to British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain , who concluded the ill-fated Munich Pact with Hitler in 1938. But Chamberlain acted out of a sincere belief that he was avoiding a greater evil. Chamberlain was not thinking of his place in history. He was thinking only of the Britain that he loved, a Britain that was all but disarmed, exhausted, and vulnerable. He was dealing with a nation that had been decimated by the Great War, a nation whose "best and brightest" five years earlier had declared in the infamous Oxford Oath that they would not fight for king or country, and a nation that was as materially unprepared for war as Germany was prepared to fight. Chamberlain dealt from a position of weakness, one that Hitler continually exploited in the negotiations, even by changing the time and place to make it more inconvenient for the British leader to attend them. http://www.investigativeproject.org/4812/editorial-president-obama-must-not-complete
nObama Strikes Out Again
(burtprelutsky.com) - I know that some people were upset that Barack nObama didn’t call to congratulate Bibi Netanyahu on his monumental victory in the Israeli election, the way that the leaders of Canada, India and the U.K., did. I wasn’t one of those people. For one thing, everyone knows by this time that the only thing worse than nObama’s policies are his manners. He just might be the pettiest individual to have ever been engaged in American politics. Judging by the man he turned out to be, I’m betting that as a kid, nObama was the sort of brat who would hold his breath and stomp his feet if he didn’t get his own way.
Besides, it’s Netanyahu who should have called and thanked nObama. Just knowing that nObama hated Israel’s P.M., and that he had even sent his operatives to Israel and helped to fund their activities on behalf of the opposition, was probably all it took to turn what was predicted to be a squeaker of an election into a rout.
With something like a dozen different political parties fighting for supremacy in Israel, there is very little that Israelis ever agree about, but one thing they know for certain is that nObama hates Jews and has a soft spot for Islamics, even for the demented likes of the Ayatollah Khamenei.
♦ You would think by this time that Democrats would have gotten tired of trying to paint Republicans as racists at war with women, especially when they’ve seen the strategy crash and burn over the past few election cycles. But the poor souls have nothing else in their quiver, so they have no choice but to keep shooting the same old, worn-out, arrows. Thus, because Loretta Lynch’s confirmation through the Senate hasn’t gone as swiftly as Sen. Dick Durbin would like, he is claiming the only explanation is that Senate Republicans are racists who are reluctant to see the first black woman installed as Attorney General.
The question that leaps to mind is why was Dick Durbin one of the few senators, along with such shady conspirators as Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer and Robert Byrd, who voted against confirming Condoleezza Rice as the first black female Secretary of State? Was it because she was black? Or perhaps because she was a woman? Or was it enough that she was a conservative, which makes Durbin not only a hypocrite, but as bigoted as Al Sharpton.
♦ Yet another phony, Colin Powell, who has spent the past several years calling himself a Republican, while voting for Democrats, has now decided to use his overinflated reputation to accuse the GOP of being a party of racists. The fact is Colin Powell became the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff the same way nObama wound up in the White House, as the result of affirmative action run amok.
♦ Speaking of the mullah-in-chief, I recently received a cartoon which showed nObama sharing a bathtub with GloZell Green and a box of her Fruit Loops. They are looking up at two men in suits holding Tom Cotton’s letter to Iran signed by 47 patriots in the U.S. Senate, and Barack is telling GloZell: “I’m so embarrassed for them.”
