HILLY FLIPS FOR AMNESTY
Hilly Clinton is looking to unload some more baggage from her campaign van today. The presumptive Democratic nominee campaigns in Nevada where her campaign told several news outlets that she will embrace “a full and equal path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants. In 2008, Clinton wasn’t even a supporter of the mainstream Democratic position of allowing illegal immigrants to have driver’s licenses. Now she is ready to go for a full amnesty. USA Today reports that Clinton is embracing President nObama’s immigration policy and campaign style today: “She will chat with Rancho High School students who are DREAMers, the term used for young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children.”
This latest reversal follows Clinton flips on tough-on-crime drug laws and gay marriage. Presumably more will follow. Remember that this is the woman whose former fellow cabinet member Robert Gates said admitted opposing the Iraq surge to win support among anti-war Democrats. Despite a new poll that shows that a stout majority of Democrats think a Clinton coronation will be just fine, she’s not taking any chances this time, either. One supposes that the major threat for Clinton now is not an external foe but the ongoing self-destruct sequence as the campaign tries and fails to put to rest mounting allegations of corruption against the candidate and her family. The same poll from the WSJ and NBC News that shows Democrats taking a submissive posture shows Clinton crashing with the general electorate. She’s seen as untrustworthy by a 2-to-1 ratio. -Fox News

RUBIO ROCKET RIDE CONTINUES, WALKER HAS ROOM TO GROW -
The same WSJ/NBC News poll shows Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., continuing his post announcement surge. As Republicans increasingly tune in to the wide-open race, Rubio may trail bush by 5 points, but his 41 percent combined first and second choice is very impressive. He’s drawing from two wings of the party while Jeb Bush’s support remains in an establishment Republican stovepipe. Everyone knows him and most don’t like him. But Scott Walker is hovering in deep water waiting for his moment. While Rubio is well known from his time in the Senate and frequent national television appearances, Walker still has very low name identification, even among Republicans. He’s in third place, but 21 percent of GOP primary voters don’t even know his name compared to 9 percent for Rubio and 1 percent for Bush. Those that know him seem to like him and he has not yet announced. Walker, as Bush might say, has a right to rise. -Fox News

Walker scorches nObama, Clinton on Islamist threat - The Hill: “[Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker] said he was “disturbed” that Clinton spent four years as nObama’s closest advisor on foreign policy matters. “We need a president for this country who will look the American people in the eye and have the courage to tell them the truth,” Walker boomed. “It could be a day, a week, a month or a year, but we know it’s not a question of if there will be another attempt on American soil, it’s question of when there will be another attempt on American soil…and I’d rather take the fight to them than let them bring the fight to us.” … “Now more than ever America needs a commander-in-chief that will stand up and declare radical Islam is a threat to us all,” he said to a standing ovation. “We need a president who identified for once and for all that Israel is an ally and actually starts acting like it.” -Fox News

DECISION TIME FOR MCCON-NELL ON IRAN NUKE BILL
The bill giving Congress the power to review a nuclear deal with Iran is at a critical stage in the Senate as Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell decides whether to shut down debate on the measure, The Hill reports. “McCon-nell is seeking an agreement to allow votes on several controversial amendments backed by conservatives that supporters of the bill say would kill it…The full [Republican] conference is expected to talk about the Iran bill at their Tuesday lunch….[S]ome Republicans predicted McCon-nell may have no choice but to file cloture to end debate…While this could anger conservatives, it would also save a carefully crafted compromise drawn up by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and reluctantly endorsed by the White House.” -Fox News

dinky Reid threatens nObama trade pact - Minority leader dinky Harry Reid says Senate Democrats will block Senate consideration of President nObama’s top trade priority until a transportation funding measure and reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act are passed first. dinky Reid, who has been openly opposed to the president’s Trans-Pacific Partnership authority, told HuffPo he’s confident Democrats will stick together on the demand. “‘I’m not willing to lay over and play dead on trade until we have some commitment from them on surface transportation,’ he said. The same goes for FISA, he said.” -Fox News

The FBI Sent Innocent People To Their Deaths For Decades
(Alex Jones) - Questionable tactics have been employed by U.S. government agencies for ages. And underneath J. Edgar Hoover the FBI set an unfortunate precedent by which they managed to get innocent people framed for years...And recent confessions by top forensic analysts has cast a significant shadow on convictions secured by the FBI. Turns out they faked data to get their guys. http://survivaljoe.net/blog/fbi-makes-disgusting-admission-we-framed-people/

Mexican Helicopters Fired on US Border Patrol Agents
(Jeff Dunetz) - The folks at Judicial Watch obtained documents from the U.S. Border Patrol confirming that on June 26th of last year a Mexican Police helicopters crossed over the border into U.S. airspace and fired on US Border Patrol Agents...According to the documents, the helicopters fired at Agents in four cars two of which were clearly marked as official bored patrol vehicles. Immediately after the incident it was reported to the Mexican government who denied the American's version of the events. As reported by the New York Daily News at the time. “It is clear that the Mexican government has little regard for the sovereignty of the United States,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Our border is insecure and the Mexican government has contempt for our sovereignty. http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2015/05/mexican-helicopters-fired-on-us-border.html?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2740e34ec1-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-2740e34ec1-291705165&goal=0_597b72c01c-2740e34ec1-291705165

French Parliament Approves Sweeping Surveillance Law
(Soeren Kern) - The French parliament has approved a landmark intelligence-gathering law that gives the state sweeping powers to spy on citizens...The government says the new law — which was fast-tracked after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris in January — is aimed at preventing Islamic terrorism. But privacy groups say the law, which has been referred to as "the French Patriot Act," is so vague and intrusive and centralizes surveillance power to such an extent, that it poses an unacceptable threat to civil liberties in France. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5703/france-surveillance-law

Iran Cheating — And Not Retreating
(Christopher S. Carson) - Which is the greater cave-in—cutting a terrible nuclear deal with Iran, or letting it flout the terms of even that deal? The question is now academic...Let’s revisit the anticipated “Comprehensive Agreement on the Iranian nuclear program,” struck in outline form back on April 2nd and supposed to be finalized by June 30th. Foreign Minister Zarif announced at the time, “No agreement has been reached so we do not have any obligation yet.” We should be so lucky. Under the deal, nothing will be done to stop Iran’s exporting of terrorism and its drive to dominate the Middle East, including its giving Hamas (a Sunni terrorist group) millions of dollars to re-dig new terror-tunnels in Gaza. Hamas’ Fedayeen use the tunnels to attack Israeli citizens. Iran was supposed to stop all uranium enrichment. Now it gets to keep enriching, but only to 3.67% purity. Iran is now “required” to reduce its stockpile of already-enriched uranium to 300 kg., over 15 years. It promised a month ago to give the remaining 10,000 kg. to Russia. Sounds great, but not even three weeks later, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Nabas Araqchi told the Iranian media that there is no question of sending the uranium abroad—it won’t happen. Apparently Iran will get to keep its 10,000 kilograms of enriched uranium after all. Why make a deal if Iran is going to cheat? http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/christopher-s-carson/iran-cheating-and-not-retreating/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=b78e7d1b72-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-b78e7d1b72-156509103

Why nObama Will Just Keep Making the Middle East Worse
(Daniel Greenfield) - A few years ago it was the Muslim Brotherhood. These days it’s Iran. Next week it may be ISIS or Al Qaeda. nObama stands with the worst elements in the Middle East. That’s always been his philosophy...If the left had a foreign policy, it would be, “The squeaky wheel gets the grease.” But the wheel is a sword and it’s lubricated with blood. The squeakiest wheels and the bloodiest swords get the most grease from the State Department because they hate us the most. And hating us the most means that somewhere along the way we must have hurt them the worst. They hate us, therefore we’re guilty. The squeaky wheel runs on blood and on American guilt. The worse they are, the guiltier we must be. Instead of reinforcing the moderates, whose shortage of ravening hatred suggests that they don’t have any legitimate complaints about us worth listening to, the left seeks out the extremes of extremists. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/dgreenfield/why-obama-will-just-keep-making-the-middle-east-worse/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=b78e7d1b72-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-b78e7d1b72-156509103

DoD Announces Army Reorganization, Inactivation Plans
(John Vandiver) - The Army will lose about 25 Germany-based Apache attack helicopters and a series of other choppers as part of an Army reorganization that will force the service to rely more on rotational forces to maintain much of its aviation firepower in Europe, according to a Pentagon announcement Wednesday...In addition, the Ansbach-based 12th Combat Aviation Brigade will lose about 1,900 troops and 2,850 family members in moves that also will force the closure of two Defense Department schools in the area by the end of this school year — Illesheim and Rainbow Elementary, according to military and school officials. “The 12th CAB restructuring will mean that while some U.S. personnel and assets will no longer be permanently assigned to Ansbach, aviation capabilities will be maintained by augmenting remaining aviation assets and personnel through a continuous rotation,” U.S. Army Europe stated in a release. http://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/04/30/dod-announces-army-reorganization-inactivation-plans.html?ESRC=army.nl

Why Ariel Sharon Thanked Scooter Libby

nObama Administration Blocks Efforts to Stop Non-Citizen Voting
(Noel Johnson) - Approximately 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in the 2008 presidential election, according to a study released last year by professors at Old Dominion University and George Mason University...The figure for the 2010 midterm elections was 2.2 percent. The nObama administration doesn’t care. In fact, it is trying to stamp out state-led efforts that would help ensure that only American citizens are electing our leaders. The latest bureaucratic roadblocks have been erected in Arizona and Kansas, which simply want people to verify their citizenship before voting. To implement their commonsense measures, Arizona and Kansas asked the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) —- a small federal agency that exists primarily to assist the states in creating the federal form citizens use to register to vote by mail —- to add the proof-of-citizenship requirement to the registration instructions specific to Arizona and Kansas. Their request was denied because of the decision of one federal employee in Washington, D.C. http://www.theacru.org/the-obama-administration-blocks-efforts-to-stop-non-citizens/

GOP budget plan calls for nObamacare repeal
(Pete Kasperowicz) - The Senate vote was largely along party lines, although two Republicans, 2016 presidential candidates Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) voted against it...Conservative Republicans have said the budget doesn’t do nearly enough to trim spending — earlier in the day, for example, a Paul spokesperson said the plan relies on a “gimmick” to appear to achieve balance after 10 years. Back in March, Cruz praised the Senate’s passage of a budget plan, but also said “gimmicks” were keeping him from supporting it in the end. Democrats have spent several weeks railing about the plan, which they say would make deep cuts to social programs. It also repeals nObamacare, and includes instructions to several key congressional committees to write legislation to repeal and replace nObamacare. http://www.theblaze.com/blog/2015/05/05/senate-passes-gop-budget-plan-that-would-also-repeal-obamacare/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Firewire&utm_campaign=Firewire%20-%20HORIZON%205-6-15%20FINAL

(mosaicmagazine.com) - “I never dreamed that it could come to this!”.
In February, a Jewish college student was hospitalized after being punched in the face at a pro-Palestinian demonstration on a campus in upstate New York. His family has insisted on maintaining the boy’s privacy, but other such incidents, some caught on camera, include a male student punched in the face at Temple University, a female student at Ohio University harassed for defending Israel, and a male student at Cornell threatened physically for protesting anti-Israel propaganda. On three successive days last summer, the Boston police had to protect a student rally for Israel from pro-Palestinian mobs shouting “Jews back to Birkenau!” At the University of California-Irvine, this year’s Israel Independence Day festivities were blocked and shouted down by anti-Israel demonstrators. Every year, some 200 campuses now host a multiday hate-the-Jews fest, its malignancy encapsulated in its title: “Israel Apartheid Week.”

The Louis D. Brandeis Center in Washington, founded in 2011 to protect against such intimidation, has reported being startled by the results of its own 2013-14 survey: “more than half of Jewish American college students have personally experienced or witnessed anti-Semitism.” The film Crossing the Line 2: The New Face of Anti-Semitism on Campus faithfully captures scenes of the violence that often attends this new academic experience.

Nor are students the only targets. At Connecticut College, to cite but the most recent example, a quietly pro-Israel professor of philosophy has been maliciously singled out and hounded as a “racist” in a campaign instigated by Palestinian activists, endorsed by numerous faculty members, and at least tacitly complied with by the college administration and the campus Hillel organization. At the annual meetings of prestigious academic associations, boycott resolutions against Israel and Israeli academic institutions are routinely aired and often passed.

As one of its first acts in December 1945, the Arab League called on all Arab institutions and individuals to refuse to deal in, distribute, or consume Jewish and Zionist products or manufactured goods. Seventy years later, calls for boycott of Israel, under the acronym BDS—boycott, divestment, and sanctions—have become a staple of American university agendas, extending not only to Israeli companies like SodaStream but to Israeli scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Last year, a petition by “anthropologists for the boycott of Israeli academic institutions” garnered the signatures of the relevant department chairs at (among others) Harvard, Wesleyan, and San Francisco State. The American Studies Association attracted the “largest number of participants in the organization’s history” for a vote endorsing a boycott of Israeli academic institutions.

In his introduction to a timely volume of essays, The Case Against Academic Boycotts of Israel, Paul Berman provides a witty summary of the efforts by university boycotters to frame their campaigns as “modern and progressive” when in fact they are “disgraceful and retrograde.” But the truth is that anti-Semitism never needed a sophisticated veneer in order to win susceptible recruits among the educated and the allegedly enlightened. Urgent as it is to expose the undeniably disgraceful and retrograde nature of the boycott movement, some of its ancillary effects are already playing themselves out in modern institutions and in “progressive” ways.

One of those effects is the scandalous insult—the undreamed-of this!—that cracked the patience of my academic colleague quoted at the head of this article. The “this!” emanated in reports first from UCLA, then from Stanford. At both universities, Jewish students running for election to the student government had been challenged on the grounds that their “strong Jewish identity,” manifested by travel to Israel, made them untrustworthy candidates for office. For my colleague, who had tried until now to treat anti-Israel agitation as a legitimate political activity, this now-naked move to place Jewish students under automatic suspicion for being Jewish made it impossible to maintain any longer the distinction between anti-Zionism (permissible) and anti-Semitism (impermissible). To be sure, there had always been some kind of link between incitement against Jews in Israel and incitement against Jews elsewhere, but how was she now to distinguish between the two when her colleagues, peers, and students blithely insisted on conjoining them?

For the moment, most of the American public seems free—solidly free—of the anti-Semitism that infects American universities. According to the most recent Gallup poll, seven in ten Americans view Israel favorably, up substantially from the 47 percent that viewed it favorably in 1991 around the time of the first Gulf war. It would be hard to imagine greater enthusiasm for a foreign leader than that shown to Benjamin Netanyahu when he spoke at a joint session of Congress in 2011 and again this year. Appreciation for Israel seems secure when the Wall Street Journal, widely considered America’s most influential newspaper, is also its most effective editorial champion of Israel, with the FOX News channel not far behind.

Which is not to say that grounds are lacking for larger concern. In addition to the catalog of academic offenses I’ve briefly summarized here, a growing number of anti-Jewish incidents—from a swastika-desecrated Jewish cemetery in New Jersey to fatal shootings at a Kansas City Jewish community center—has been registered by agencies like the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee. At the government level, more ominously, and perhaps for the first time in recent American history, it is the White House, rather than the once notoriously Arabist State Department, that has taken the lead in threatening to isolate the Jewish state. President nObama’s frankly contemptuous treatment of Israel’s prime minister smacks more of the university than of the Senate in which he once served, but he is the president, and his words and actions give license to others.

At any rate, the basic truth is this: Israel and the United States, unlovingly paired by their Islamist enemies as the Little Satan and the Big Satan, are prime targets of the same antagonists. It remains to be seen, then, whether the rise of anti-Semitism in America—itself an extension of the Arab- and Muslim-led war against Israel and the Jewish people—will fatally penetrate America’s thick constitutional culture, in which some of us still place our trust.
