LUCKY RUBIO GETS PERFECT TIMING FOR FOREIGN POLICY PLAN
It may be better to be lucky than good, but if you want to be president, you’d better be both. Marco Rubio demonstrates again today that he may be the luckiest politician since Barack nObama. Rubio has had his big speech today in New York to the Council on Foreign Relations on the books since long before Jeb Bush fell into trouble on the Iraq war. But as it happens, Rubio gets the biggest possible stage for an appeal to the foreign policy establishment at exactly the moment those folks are thinking more about the prospect of Republicans nominating a third Bush. Hawks like Charles Krauthammer and others have long been intrigued by Rubio and now he has the moment for the message that they long to hear. Like when Hilly Clinton raised the juxta positional value and lessened the scrutiny of Rubio’s presidential announcement, the guy is just plain lucky.
The advance text from Rubio’s big speech shows him to be every bit in the mold of George W. Bush on the war with Islamist militants but without the baggage of the last name. While Jeb Bush campaigns in Nevada today he will have another chance to tidy up his misunderstanding of Megyn Kelly’s “knowing what we know now” question about Iraq. It instantly became a litmus test question for the entire GOP field. But for Rubio is starting from Jump Street. He was a 31-year-old freshman in the Florida House when the U.S. Senate was wrangling with the Iraq war authorization. As Eliana Johnson explains, it’s been quite a journey since Rubio went from Huckabee-backing foreign policy neophyte to a favorite of the hardline foreign policy establishment.
The question now is whether Rubio is good as well as lucky. The GOP establishment was reminded again this week of why they have misgivings about Bush. He was top-drawer in the interview, but as his slip showed, he has almost no room for error, especially on the issue central to his chances. But as Rubio continues to rise, so will the scrutiny on his record and his finances. The NYT’s scalpel work on Rubio this weekend was only an initial incision. But in this moment, as Jeb is trying to get bestride his horse, Rubio’s opening looks bigger than ever. -Fox News

‘Clinton Cash’ author moving ahead on Jeb probe - Peter Schweizer shed some light on his previous statement that he was exploring Jeb Bush’s finances in the same way he has shredded the Clintons on their post-presidential buckraking. Schweizer told radio host Hugh Hewitt that his research is underway and he expects to know by mid-September whether there’s enough evidence to build as case against Bush. “And look, we are in the middle of the investigation. I would tell you that if there was nothing there, we would have stopped the investigation,” Schweizer said. “I think we’re finding some interesting, compelling things. But I don’t want to create the impression that we have decided that we know what we’ve found.” -Fox News

NEVADA CLOSE TO DUMPING CAUCUS
Reno Gazette-Journal: “Nevada's caucus system for presidential nominees is on shaky ground after senators approved a measure seeking to replace it with a primary election. Senators voted 11-9 on Tuesday to approve SB421, with Democrats opposing. The measure now moves to the Assembly. The bill would preserve Nevada's influential position as one of the earliest states to nominate a presidential candidate. But it would change the selection process from a gathering of only the most motivated party activists to a regular election among all voters.” -Fox News

CRUZ TOPS MOST CONSERVATIVE SENATORS LIST
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, along with fellow Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, take the top spots in the American Conservative Union’s annual congressional rankings both at 100 percent support of conservative positions. The list bases candidates on issues the ACU supports and doesn’t support, and also gives points for those who announce they are in favor of an ACU position. Other top senators on the list include Republican presidential contenders Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., both at 96 percent staying steady from last year’s ranking. Potential Republican contender Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., didn’t fare so well at 74 percent, but showed improvement from last year’s spot at 68 percent. -Fox News

Gay hoteliers find repudiating Cruz insufficient for critics - Remember the hotel tycoons who hosted the dinner for Ted Cruz a few weeks ago? Well, the gay community does. Mati Weiderpass, one of the hosts, wrote an op-ed in the Observer on the harsh reaction he’s received from the gay community. He writes, “It is amazing that my businesses are being boycotted by some because I hosted a discussion with an elected official. Not a fundraiser. Not an endorsement. A dialogue.”
“I think it is important for someone to stand by what they believe. And you know what I’ve tried to do in the Senate has been really simple, it’s been tell the truth…if I’m with you, I’m really with you, if I'm not with you, I’m not with you. And I think people respect that.” – Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on “The Kelly File” -Fox News

The Catholic Church Has Gone Socialist
(Cliff Kincaid) - Since we published our article, “Catholic Church Captured by ‘Progressive Forces,’” it is starting to dawn on many in and out of the media that Pope Francis has come down on the side of the “progressive,” and even Marxist, forces in the world today... Writing at the Blaze.com and commenting on the pope’s friendly meeting with Cuban dictator Raul Castro, Catholic writer Stephen Herreid of the Intercollegiate Review called the pope’s dealings with Castro and other Marxists “a new Catholic scandal” as significant and terrifying as the presence of pedophiles in the church. He wondershow conservative Catholics can continue to pay respect to a pope “intent on making friends with the enemies of religious liberty.” http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-catholic-church-has-gone-socialist/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email051315&utm_medium=email

Did Donor Get Hilly to Delay Boko Haram Terror Designation?
(judicialwatch.org) - When the U.S. State Department was presented with hard evidence identifying Boko Haram as a growing terrorist threat in Nigeria, the agency failed to take action for several years. Why the delay despite the evidence?... That’s a fair question for former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton since she headed the agency at the time and is now seeking the Democratic nomination for president. Boko Haram is the same group that kidnapped over 200 female students from Chibok in Borno State, Nigeria just over a year ago. Clinton, the self-described champion of women’s rights, was first presented with reports highlighting Boko Haram’s aggressive posture back in 2010. Yet, the State Department did not officially designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) until December 2013. During that time, Boko Haram gained significant footing at the expense of vulnerable populations. Was a Nigerian land developer, who has donated large sums to the Clinton Foundation, a factor in delaying Boko Haram’s FTO designation? U.S. Senator David Vitter is exploring this possibility by examining the relationship between the Clintons and the developer, Gilbert Chagoury. His background is checkered to say the least. Chagoury plead guilty in British court to bribery, but avoided prison by returning portions of the money involved in his scheme. He also obtained immunity from prosecution in a looted assets case in Nigeria in exchange for returning money held in Swiss bank accounts. A list of all Clinton Foundation donations that includes Chagoury is available here. He has contributed about $5 million to the Foundation in recent years, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal that details Chagoury’s long and complicated relationship with the Clintons. http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2015/05/did-clinton-foundation-donor-get-hillary-to-delay-boko-haram-terror-designation/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Judicial%20Watch%20Tipsheet%20(9)&utm_content=

Chinese ballistic missiles can target nearly the entirety of the US
(Jeremy Bender) - Thank you, Bill Clinton. China now has dozens of nuclear-capable missiles that could target almost the entirety of the US, according to the Department of Defense's 2015 report on the Chinese military... The annual report to Congress focuses on China's military modernization, possible invasion plans for the self-governing and US-allied island of Taiwan, advances in space technology, and Beijing's rapidly advancing missile capabilities. China's conventional capabilities are improving. But Beijing also now has what could be considered the ultimate military asset for a rising superpower: the ability to deliver nuclear warheads nearly anywhere on earth (outside of South America, at least). http://finance.yahoo.com/news/pentagon-report-chinese-ballistic-missiles-210039631.html.

hanoi Kerry Tells The UN Why America Is Home To Genghis Khan
(rickwells.us) - In spite of his position as US Secretary of State, hanoi John Kerry, who infamously described Americans as barbarous, murderous butchers who “razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan” in testimony before a Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not changed his America-hating stripes... Just as is his “president,” hanoi Kerry is still doing his best to degrade and diminish America’s reputation around the globe, in keeping with his Marxist views and destructive, anti-American political mandates. The State Department has long been the target of infiltration and manipulation by world government Marxists within the United States government and a report they authored, which was released on Monday as part of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the UN Human Rights Council, shows the degree to which those influences exert control over that agency today. http://rickwells.us/john-kerry-tells-the-un-human-rights-council-why-america-is-still-the-home-to-genghis-khan/

RINO Corp Concubine McCon-nell Vows To Continue Secret TPP
(rickwells.us) - Those who claim the Republican Party is the party of big business just had their case made much stronger by the RINO establishment corporate shills that brazenly represent their well-heeled sponsors in opposition to the wishes and the best interests of the American people... Chief among the sludge that is floating at the top of the Republican cesspool are Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY), backstabber John Cornyn (R-TX) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who proves that Mormons are just as susceptible to the corruption of politics and power as anyone else. McCon-nell is upset that Democrats, in what conservatives would have thought the most unlikely of scenarios, voted with the American people and in opposition to his sovereignty and economic suicide pact that is the TPP. He and his fellow traitors to America in the GOP did their part, gathering enough sellouts to vote in lockstep to push a nation-changing bill having never laid eyes upon it. http://rickwells.us/rino-corporate-concubin

This FCC Commissioner Dared To Defy nObama
(gopthedailydose.com) - Recently, President nObama’s Federal Communications Commission drafted new “net neutrality” rules that blatantly defy the first amendment and effectively allow nObama to take over the internet... FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has been outspoken about his dislike for the new rules, which would impose numerous rules, regulations, fees and fines on the internet as it treats it like other “utilities.” While Pai’s response to nObama’s internet takeover has earned him the respect and praise of conservatives everywhere, it has also caused the lynch-mob that is the nObama supporters to sharpen their pitchforks and come at him with threats to his life. http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/05/12/this-fcc-commissioner-dared-to-defy-obama-then-something-despicable-happened-to-him/

Strong push to yank judge from Sheriff Joe case
(Bob Unruh) - A federal judge is being asked to remove himself from a racial-profiling case against Sheriff Joe Arpaio because of “unethical misconduct and a conflict of interest”... after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday refused to take the extraordinary step of intervening and ordering his removal. The appellate judges had been asked by a whistleblower who was drawn into the case to step in and remove the “runaway jurist.” But the case was returned to Judge G. Murray Snow’s court, where he is facing accusations that his wife blurted out in his own courtroom his intention to bring down Arpaio. http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/strong-push-to-yank-judge-from-sheriff-joe-case/

Do We Know Outcome of Iran Talks?
(blog.standforisrael.org) - With the deadline for a final Iranian nuclear deal on its way, and so many other troubling issues having reared their heads, yet another has arisen... Commentary’s Jonathan Tobin writes that the latest breakdown in sanctions against Iran shows yet again that the Islamic Republic has no intention of sticking to any agreement: The impact of these efforts will be felt once a deal is signed and create a huge and powerful constituency against any effort to hold Iran accountable for its compliance with the weak nuclear deal or to re-impose sanctions should Tehran chose to cheat on the easily evaded restrictions in the pact. http://www.blog.standforisrael.org/articles/do-we-know-outcome-of-iran-talks?s_src=DD0513&s_subsrc=ENX1505XXEXXA&utm_campaign=sfi%20daily%20dispatch&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email

A Turkish-Saudi Military Offensive in Syria?
(Burak Bekdil) - On June 22, 2012, a Turkish RF-4E military reconnaissance aircraft took off from an air base in eastern Turkey. It flew at low altitude, as most spy planes do... and violated Syrian airspace before it was hit -- most likely -- by a missile fired from a Syrian- or Russian-operated air defense system. Two Turkish pilots were killed. Their bodies were later recovered from the Mediterranean Sea with help from a US ship. Turkey was all rage. Turkey's then-prime minister (now president), Recep Tayyip Erdogan, vowed revenge. The Turks claimed their aircraft was flying on a training mission. It was most likely flying on a mission to spy on air defense systems in Syria. Lately, there have been reports that Sunni regional allies Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been planning a joint military offensive against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Damascus, aNusayri Alawi nemesis for both Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The reports claimed that the planned operation would involve both ground troops and air strikes. http://www.meforum.org/5237/a-turkish-saudi-military-offensive-in-syria

Importing Jihad – 2.3 Million Muslim Immigrants To America
(George Rasley) - Since between 2000 and 2013 (the last year for which statistics are available) some 2,338,013 legal immigrants arrived in America from Muslim countries... Why does America need over 2.3 million Muslim immigrants? What is the benefit to America? Moreover, what are the risks? Which government agency is vetting who arrives, who gets to stay and who qualifies for US citizenship? And perhaps of greater importance than the question “why should we allow them to come here?” is “what is being done to assimilate them?” And the answer during the nObama years has been not much. http://www.conservativehq.com/article/19532-importing-jihad-23-million-muslim-immigrants-america

(factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - Does anyone remember what happened on September 11, 2001? Or is it just “ancient history” at this point? Some three thousand totally innocent Americans were murdered by a sneak attack on the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Who did it? The same murderous Islamists who attacked an event in Garland, Texas to focus attention on the insanity that passes for one of the world’s great “religions.”.
Islam is not a religion. It is a cult around the so-called prophet Mohammad and his assertion that the Koran was the word of Allah. The name Islam means “submission” and the purpose of Islam is the tyrannical control over the entire world’s population. Within this alleged holy faith, two sects, Shiites and Sunnis, have been at war almost from its inception, never failing to kill one another.

The turmoil in the Middle East is the direct result of this murderous cult and those Muslims who oppose the killing that flows from Islam must keep their silence or become its victims. Jews and Christians can speak out and debate about aspects of their faiths, but Muslim risk death when they do so. For those Jews in Christians living in Middle Eastern nations, death is always a prospect for no other reason than not being Muslim.

Will it take another 9/11? Surely the recent attack by two Islamists on May 3rd in Garland, Texas, was another wake up call. They arrived intent on killing as many of those attending the American Freedom Defense Initiative event. A Garland police officer killed both before anyone had to die in the name of the Bill of Rights.

But why Garland, Texas? Because, as my friend Amil Imani noted in a recent commentary, “The venue was chosen as a defiant response to a Muslim group that had held a conference entitled ‘Stand With the Prophet Against Terror and Hate.”’ Ironic, eh? Their response to the event that invited cartoons of Muhammed as to want to kill the participants. If that is not war, I do not know what is.

If Muslims feel hatred, they have earned it here in the United States and elsewhere they have attacked any criticism or defiance, from Charlie Hebdo in France to the countless attacks around the world from Mumbai, India to Bali. A website, the Religion of Peace, com, posts news of the daily assaults by Muslim on both other Muslims and those they call “infidels”, unbelievers.

Pamela Geller who leads the American Freedom Defense Initiative has been widely assailed for her event that was intended to respond to the earlier one in Garland that Amil Amani noted “was convened to eliminate free speech or any expression, verbal and/or artwork depicting the Islamic prophet Mohammad in a negative light.”

“As a life-long expert on the subject of Islam, I felt that this event—more than anything else Pamela could have done—would be the target of a violence terrorist attack in the name of the religion of peace, either real and explosive or on social media at the very least.” It was real.

The Garland police were taking it seriously. Amani said “I was astonished at the large police presence already there. Some of the cops were dressed in tactical gear and carrying AR-15s. The security was ubiquitous, almost as if something untoward had already happened.”

Speaking in an interview with Sean Hannity on May 6, Geller noted that neither the FBI nor the Department of Homeland Security has yet to have contacted her about the thwarted attack. “This is a serious threat” said Hannity. “Basically a Fatwah, a death threat, has now been issued.” Geller noted the lack of interest or concern expressed by those in our government one might expect to at the least make an inquiry, adding that “I have a team now, private security, and NYPD counter terror has been in touch with me.”

When are Americans going to realize that the Islamists do not need any provocation? When are we going to start acting like we are at war? A good first step would be to stop inviting Muslims to immigrate to America. The nObama administration has been importing as many as possible. The next step is to understand that it is nObama and his administration that are part of the Islamic war.
