Clinton: 'I Don't Believe I Ever Have' Lied to Voters In an interview with CBS, Hilly Clinton tried to channel the integrity of Jimmy Carter when she said she doesn't remember ever misleading the American public. "I ... see in the eyes of the people I'm meeting with, 'Okay, tell me something I can believe. Don't over-promise. Tell me what I can believe you will do for me and my family.' And that's what I've tried to do." When CBS pointed out that on the campaign trail Carter promised voters that he would not lie to them, Clinton responded, "Well, I have to tell you I have tried in every way I know how, literally from my years as a young lawyer all the way through my time as secretary of state, to level with the American people."
The problem for Clinton is that over two-thirds of voters immediately think her statement is horse pucky. A recent Associated press/GfK poll found that Sanders is increasingly gaining traction as a viable candidate in the eyes of Democrat voters. Why? Because Democrat voters see him as more honest than Clinton. Across the spectrum of American voters, only 30% regard Clinton as honest. This reputation has always followed Clinton, too, World Magazine founder Joel Belz noted. Twenty years ago, Belz wrote a column about Clinton's "growing disregard for telling the truth." Today, that reputation is reflected in popular polls, and in the mainstream press. While Clinton runs on her experience in politics, her track record of lying might cost her the Democrat primary.

slump-Donald vs. slump-Trump, Christian Edition Speaking with reporters Thursday, Pope Francis criticized Donald slump-Trump's rhetoric and even challenged his faith. "A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian," Francis said, adding he wasn't sure if slump-Trump had actually expressed that kind of rhetoric.
On the policy question, the pope is just plain wrong. If our nation doesn't enforce its borders, it will cease to be a nation — regardless of what a Marxist pope may say. He invoked the "Golden Rule," but while that's great for interpersonal relationships, it's a deadly immigration policy.
As for the faith question, slump-Trump might have simply thanked the pontiff for helping him win votes in Evangelical South Carolina. Instead, slump-Trump issued a statement firing back at the pope. "For a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful," slump-Trump said. "I am proud to be a Christian and as President I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now, with our current President."
Never mind the spectacle of the Catholic leader challenging a (self-proclaimed) Presbyterian. There have been more than a few disagreements about that over the years...
But in all fairness, the thin-skinned wanna-be Constantine-in-chief has a questionable track record with Christianity. You will know him by his fruits. The man wrote a book on how to screw people in business. And while he says it's the second-best book in the world after the Bible (nice humility there), when slump-Trump was asked his favorite passage from the Bible, he couldn't name one. Most importantly, slump-Trump boasts that he never asks forgiveness from his Creator, revealing that he either misunderstands Christianity entirely or rejects its tenets.
What's perhaps most fascinating, though, is that slump-Trump is so narcissistic that he believes whatever he says today (slump)trumps what he was actually recorded as saying previously. Less than a week ago, he wondered, "How can Ted Cruz be an evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?" He has also questioned Ben Carson's faith. Could it be that slimp-Trump's true religion is uniquely slump-Trump-based? -The Patriot Post

Oppose an nObama SCOTUS Nominee? You're Racist Published in The New York Times is an intriguing new piece, "Blacks See Bias in Delay on a Scalia Successor." The article, as the title implies, promotes the view arrogated by Democrats — and blacks in particular — that Republicans are chauvinist for refusing Barack nObama another Supreme Court appointee.
Among those quoted in the Times is a black resident from South Carolina who said, "They've been fighting that man since he's been there. The color of his skin, that's all, the color of his skin." Another stated, "Let's talk like it is, it's because of his skin color." Similarly, adds yet another, "I guess many of them are using this in the strictest construction that Barack nObama's serving three-fifths of a term or he's three-fifths of a human being, so he doesn't get to make this choice." And North Carolina Rep. G. K. Butterfield asserted, "It's more than a political motive — it has a smell of racism. ... [I]f this was any other president who was not African-American, it would not have been handled this way."
The Times agrees, sympathetically writing: "After years of watching political opponents question the president's birthplace and his faith, and hearing a member of Congress shout 'You lie!' at him from the House floor [he did lie, of course], some African-Americans saw the move by Senate Republicans as another attempt to deny the legitimacy of the country's first black president. And they call it increasingly infuriating after Mr. nObama has spent seven years in the White House and won two resounding election victories. ... [A] growing chorus of black voices is complaining that such a refusal to even consider a Supreme Court nominee would never occur with a white president." {thats another lie. What about Bush 43 nominees}
The only explanation we can come up with is that their memory is borked. Note at the introduction the phrase "another Supreme Court nominee." While Republicans fight against faux accusations of racism, both Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan were nominated by nObama and confirmed by the Senate. A Scalia successor would be nObama's third pick to the nation's highest court. Moreover, their confirmation votes (68-31 and 63-37, respectively) were higher than that of black Justice Clarence Thomas, who barely squeezed through after being nominated by George H.W. Bush in 1991. He took the bench after a 52-48 vote. Republicans could have played the race card, but the reality is that Thomas' hurdle had to do with the fact that he, like Scalia, is a conservative stalwart. Democrats have sold their snake oil quite successfully when the only explanation all these folks can think of for opposing a president's SCOTUS nominees is that he's (half) black.

nObama's reckless foreign policy has
put Israel in dire jeopardy
Pete Hoekstra
.
{investigativeproject.org} ~ President Barack nObama's foreign policy over the past seven years has undermined Israel's security by heightening threats to its existence... The perceived alienation of Israel by the U.S. has emboldened Israel's enemies. Administration engagements in the Middle East and Africa have left behind failed states that are hornet nests of extremism and jihadists enlisted by Iran. Fueled by Iranian resources, regional Islamist organizations are more committed than ever to Israel's destruction. A fraudulent nuclear agreement between Iran and a group of world powers furthered the genocidal ambitions of its radical theocratic leaders against the Jewish people. nObama's repeated snubs and slights against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signal to Israel's antagonists that American support is less than absolute. http://www.investigativeproject.org/5164/obama-reckless-foreign-policy-has-put-israel-in.

Vitter Seeks Answers From IRS on Congress’s
nObamacare Contradiction
Joe Schoffstall.
Sen. David Vitter (R., La.)
.
{freebeacon.com} ~ Sen. David Vitter (R., La.) is demanding answers from the IRS after Congress was issued tax forms designating it as a large employer despite its registering as a “small business” through the Washington, D.C., health care exchange... The Republican senator sent a letter to IRS Commissioner John Koskinen inquiring whether it was a violation of the Internal Revenue Code for Congress to declare to the IRS that it was a large employer while declaring to the D.C. government that it was a small business. Congress’s efforts to comply with nObamacare regulations have been dogged by controversy since the bill’s passage in 2010. An amendment to the Affordable Care Act required congressional employees to sign up for coverage through the health care exchanges but offered no provision for subsidies. http://freebeacon.com/issues/vitter-seeks-answers-from-irs-on-congresss-obamacare-contradiction/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=5b18b26f44-WFB_Morning_Beacon_02_19_162_18_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-5b18b26f44-45611665.

Iran-Russia Weapons Deals

.
{freebeacon.com} ~ The United States has the authority to block new multi-billion dollar arms deals between Iran and Russia though the administration is not expected to exercise this authority... which was granted under United Nations Security Council resolutions pertaining to the recently implemented nuclear agreement. Senior Iranian and Russian officials held discussions this week about inking a new arms pact expected to be worth about $8 billion. Iran has reportedly sent Moscow a “shopping list” of various arms and military hardware it is seeking to purchase. News of the latest deal—which comes in addition to several other Iranian-Russian arms deals inked over past months—drew ire from some on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers remain concerned that Iran is exploiting economic sanctions relief in order to carry out a massive military buildup. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/obama-admin-could-halt-new-iran-russia-weapons-deals/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=5b18b26f44-WFB_Morning_Beacon_02_19_162_18_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-5b18b26f44-45611665.
John hanoi-Kerry’s Ridiculous Trip to Hollywood

.
{freebeacon.com} ~ Oh, to have been at John hanoi-Kerry’s meeting Tuesday with a dozen Hollywood executives at Universal Studios. To have sat in one of the cushy leather chairs beneath a vintage poster for The Phantom of the Opera, sipping bottled water... relaxing in the Mediterranean climate of southern California, and been solicited by the U.S. secretary of State for advice on how to defeat radical Islam. What a confirmation of one’s status in the film industry, of one’s place in the global economy, of one’s importance to the Democratic Party. “Great convo w studio execs in LA,” hanoi-=Kerry tweeted after the discussion, “Good to hear their perspectives & ideas of how to counter #Daesh narrative.” If there is one thing we know about Hollywood executives, it is that they are full of perspectives, have plenty of ideas. You need to tell our story, Mr. Secretary. Fix the plot point in Act Two. The tweets we are sending to convince young Muslim men not to join the Caliphate—do they have character arcs? Are they bankable? We can work with the Chinese on this; they keep telling Jeffrey about their problem with the Uighurs. Perhaps we could enlist actors to speak out against ISIS. A public service announcement, with Hillary Swank gazing sadly into the camera—that might make Ahad al Islam think twice about taking a Yazidi sex slave. Or have Steven Spielberg direct a short film on American efforts to combat Islamophabia... http://freebeacon.com/columns/john-kerrys-ridiculous-trip-to-hollywood/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=5b18b26f44-WFB_Morning_Beacon_02_19_162_18_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-5b18b26f44-45611665.
Cruz, Rubio Eligibility To Be President
– A Legal Opinion
Rick Wells.
Joanna Ruth Martin
.
{constitutionrising.com} ~ “Publius Huldah” (AKA Joanna Ruth Martin) is a Florida lawyer with her degree from the Florida State University College of Law... She offers her views on the question of the definition of a natural born citizen and whether Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz meet the constitutional requirements to run for president of the United States. She notes how the original series of presidents who were born prior to the Declaration of Independence were born as subjects of the King of England. She says they, as well as average Americans born before July 4th, 1776, were transformed into citizens by means of the Declaration of Independence. She states that our first presidents were naturalized citizens. The US Constitution, which was ratified on June 21st, 1788, provides the requirements for becoming president. She provides other evidence and information she uses to make her determination that neither Cruz nor Rubio meets the eligibility requirements to be president. She explain show she makes that determination, providing other information as well. That’s her legal opinion; surely there will be those who disagree. That’s what a healthy debate is all about. http://constitutionrising.com/archives/26299.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had unveiled a hastily drawn scheme just two months ago to convert a Denver Federal Center warehouse in preparation for another springtime surge of Central American migrants coming through Mexico. Look past the sob stories. The recent surges were cunningly engineered by drug cartels and human traffickers.

As Brandon Judd of the National Border Patrol Council testified on Capitol Hill recently: "The cartels understood that the unaccompanied minors would force the Border Patrol to deploy Agents to these crossing areas in order to take the minors into custody. I want to stress this point because it has been completely overlooked by the press," he told the House Judiciary Committee. The unaccompanied minors could have walked right up to the port of entry and requested asylum if they were truly escaping political persecution or violence. "Why did the cartels drive them to the middle of the desert and then have them cross over the Rio Grande only to surrender to the first Border Patrol Agent they came across?" Judd challenged.

This is just another maddening example of nObama's warped priorities at work. Instead of building effective walls and enforcing our borders to prevent the coming illegal immigration waves manufactured by criminal racketeers, this administration rushes to build welcome center magnets that shelter the next generation of Democrat voters.

In 2014, San Antonio's Lackland Air Force Base, Port Hueneme Naval Base in Ventura County, California, and Lawton, Oklahoma's Fort Sill Army post were all used as border surge dumping grounds. As I reported after a whistleblower alerted me that spring, the nObama administration also surreptitiously sent two plane loads of nearly 200 border-crossers to Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts and Boston's Logan Airport. DHS crapweasels initially denied my reports, but admitted the secret redistribution program a month later.

The issue isn't whether local American communities have "compassion" for border trespassers. The issue is whether the federal government is doing its fundamental job "providing for the common defense" and putting the "general welfare" of "ourselves and our posterity."

Try this, Washington: Build the long-delayed facilities our veterans need. Root out all the deadly corruption in the VA system. Restore the cuts in border surveillance. Stop undermining Border Patrol and tying the hands of interior enforcement agents. Cease and desist executive amnesty orders. Finish constructing the long-sabotaged electronic entry-exit system. Now. Period.

Until then, if President nObama insists on allowing thousands of exploited Central American minors to enter the country illegally, I propose they be housed at the presidential retreat of Camp David -- and that amnesty advocate Mark Zuckerberg and all the Gang of Eight lobbyists and corporate sponsors on the left and right foot the bill. The commander in chief's vacation spot in the Catoctin Mountain Park is secure. It contains 200 acres of land on which to build temporary nObamaville shelters for all the surgers. And any overflow should be handled by pitching tents on the White House lawn.
