 Bibi on the ropes ahead of Tuesday vote -   WaPo: “TEL AVIV — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned supporters at a rally here Sunday that he and his Likud party may not win Tuesday’s election, a potentially dramatic fall for a consummate political survivor whose nine years in office transformed him into the public face of contemporary Israel. … The last polls for Israel Army Radio found that more than half of Israelis surveyed plan to vote based on social and economic issues and that fewer than 1 in 3 put security at the top of their concerns. Nine of 10 respondents said the cost of living would influence their choice.”
          White House confirms: nObama seeks to drop U.N. sanctions for Iran, too -

 LET THE BUDGET BATTLES BEGIN 
The nation hits its borrowing limit today, with the Treasury Department once again resorting to “extraordinary measures” to keep from defaulting on a debt that now stands at a staggering $18.1 trillion. The measures are estimated to run dry sometime between October and November and while a default has been professed by both parties to be less likely this time around, raising the limit is just one bitter economic battle set embroil the White House, Congress and the politics of 2016. This week Congress begins to hammer out a budget, with separate Republican resolutions slated to be released by the House, Tuesday and the Senate, Wednesday. Achieving a joint budget resolution is critical to the Republican strategy to use reconciliation – a procedure that would enable the Senate to pass bills with a simple majority – as a means to usher in major policy changes such as a rollback of nObamaCare. President nObama could still use his veto, but at a political cost.  -Fox News

 Senate GOP plan denies Dems 2016 ammo -   The Hill: “Senate Republicans will not include detailed plans to overhaul entitlement programs when they unveil their first budget in nearly a decade this week, according to GOP sources. The decision would break from Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) House budgets from recent years, which Democrats used to pound Republican candidates in the 2012 and 2014 elections…. In breaking with Ryan, Senate Republicans want to avoid giving their opponents the same ammunition, especially with a slim majority and in danger of losing their majority in 2016…The Senate GOP blueprint will not propose reforming Social Security, the political third rail that Ryan also avoided as former chairman of the House Budget Committee. ‘From the standpoint of a budget, the less words of the English language you use, the better off you are,’ said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a senior member of the Budget panel.”   -Fox News

 Anonymous Just Struck MASSIVE Blow To ISIS  
(madworldnews.com) - Earlier this year, the hactivist group known as Anonymous declared war on ISIS in something they’ve dubbed #OpIsis, and they have most recently proven they’re serious...According to reports, Anonymous has released a list of 9,200 Twitter accounts linked to ISIS in hopes that the social media giant will be forced into banning the accounts entirely. The leak actually came about as Anonymous teamed up with two other hacker groups, GhostSec and Ctrlsec, to compile the list. Such an action is rarely seen, as an unidentified member of Anonymous told IBTimes UK, “This is historic amongst the digital world as it’s the first time these groups have come together for something this large.” As the rest of the world strives to ignore the threat of ISIS, it’s nice to see someone stand up for what is right. Seeing how the terrorist organization has been allowed to post their barbaric propaganda on sites like Twitter, Anonymous has made their point abundantly clear – you can run, but you can’t hide.      http://madworldnews.com/anonymous-struck-isis/

 Jen Psaki Can’t find Hilly Clinton’s Separation Statement Form  
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - A key form that could determine whether or not Hilly Clinton broke any laws when she left state without returning her emails, seems to have been misplaced at the State Department...After being queried about the formal separation statement form, last week, State Dept. Spox Jen Psaki had no answers for reporters. And again today, she had nothing new for them regarding the whereabouts of the form. AP reporter Matt Lee grilled her over why this standard form would be so difficult to produce.       https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/03/16/jen-psaki-cant-find-hillary-clintons-separation-statement-form-where-oh-where-could-it-be-video/

 Huge Hilly ally admits she wanted to avoid congressional oversight  
(Noah Rothman) - In the moments where former Clinton advisor James Carville wasn’t completely unintelligible in his Sunday morning appearance on ABC’s This Week, he was actively undermining the effort to defend Hilly Clinton’s controversial email practices...Due to her stubborn refusal to amend her 2016 campaign rollout schedule, the former secretary of state still lacks a press shop and, as a result, has had to rely on surrogates like Media Matters founder David Brock, former Clinton counsel Lanny Davis, and political advisor James Carville to defuse this scandal in the press. Thus far, they have utterly failed in their mission.       http://americanactionnews.com/articles/huge-hillary-ally-admits-she-wanted-to-avoid-congressional-oversight

 Dems Push ATF To Ban Bullets Now  
(Brian Lilley) - Congressional Democrats are demanding the ATF use "existing authority" to ban a popular bullet. The move comes just days after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives backed off a proposal to ban the M855 green-tip cartridges, one of the most popular bullets used in AR-15 rifles...The public comment period for the proposed ban closes Monday but in the face of overwhelming public opposition the ATF announced last week that they were going back to the drawing board. Not good enough for Democrats. They sent a letter, obtained by The Hill, which says the ATF needs to act to keep, “dangerous ammunition out of our communities.”       http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/dems-push-atf-ban-bullets-now

 190k Coloradoans Losing Health Insurance Thanks to Dem Leadership  
(Dave Jolly) - Barack nObama’s infamous lie to the American people resulted in nearly 6 million Americans having their healthcare plans cancelled...nObama’s lie was followed up by his illegal action when he issued his announcement to insurance companies to stop cancelling pre-existing healthcare plans that did not meet the minimum requirements established by nObamacare. However, the insurance companies claimed that they had already spent many millions of dollars revamping their systems and there was no possibility to restore many of the previously cancelled plans. Yet there were some that managed to hang onto their pre-existing healthcare plans with another promise from nObama that they could keep their plans through 2016, but would then have to purchase plans that met nObamacare’s standards. In Colorado, a state being ruined by nObamanite Democrats, about 190,000 residents have been clinging to old healthcare plans believing they have until the end of next year before being forced to purchase an inferior plan at a higher cost. But thanks to Colorado’s Insurance Commissioner Marguerite Salazar, all of the 190,000 grandfathered healthcare plans will be cancelled at the end of 2015 instead of 2016.       http://godfatherpolitics.com/21034/190000-coloradoans-losing-health-insurance-thanks-to-democratic-leadership/#fpuVrrvQS49XsioZ.99

 Why Has the U.S. Congress Done So Little About UNRWA?  ?
(Steven J. Rosen) - American defenders of Israel generally see the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) as one of the worst UN agencies, an organization that harbors terrorists, teaches militant conflict with Israel and anti-Semitism in its schools, and perpetuates the Palestinian refugee issue as a source of tension...Yet the paradox is that the United States has consistently been the largest single-state donor to UNRWA. Therefore it is not surprising that UNRWA's critics have turned repeatedly to Congress, where they know there is bipartisan support for Israel, to fight UNRWA's practices. About once every year, a pro-Israel organization announces an anti-UNRWA initiative on Capitol Hill. With equal frequency, members of Congress issue press statements proposing legislation and sense-of-Congress resolutions targeting UNRWA's ties to terrorism, anti-Semitism in its textbooks, and UNRWA policies that perpetuate rather than resolve the refugee issue. Seemingly, UNRWA is an important item on the foreign policy agenda of the United States Congress.   http://www.meforum.org/5113/congress-unrwa

 British PM Pulls MB Report  
(John Rossomando) - British Prime Minister David Cameron pulled a report Monday which was widely expected to recommend against labeling the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization...The review, led by Britain's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Sir John Jenkins, also is expected to suggest that the Muslim Brotherhood's activities in the United Kingdom should be more open and remain under review. No concrete policy recommendations are expected; however, it is expected to name a network of linked organizations alleged to be involved in extremist activities. This network reportedly included a complex web of at least 60 organizations, think tanks, TV channels and charities with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. The British government decided in December that it would release only a summary of the full report. Cameron requested the report in April, reportedly at the instigation of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).       http://www.investigativeproject.org/4799/british-pm-pulls-mb-report

 State Depart Refuses To Answer Clinton “Separation Form” Question  
(rickwells.us) - Did Hilly Clinton sign a separation form when she left the State Department is a simple yes or no question. When dealing with a secretive government that it violating our laws and Constitution, there is no such thing as a simple answer...Jen Psaki doesn’t have an update, a softer way of saying I’m not going to answer the question. If they wanted to provide one it wouldn’t be that tough. We could have a response in just minutes. The State Department has trouble with the most basic things; lying to cover criminal behavior creates those kinds of difficult situation. The arrogant misconception that those who have a job in the government are better than the rest of us seethes from this smug mouthpiece of corruption. In response to the Associated Press’ Matt Lee description of Hilly Clinton as an employee she injected, “I don’t think former secretaries are standard employees.” She’s right, standard employees might be arrested for doing what Clinton and her comrades routinely get away with.       http://www.rickwells.us/more-lies-obstruction-state-department-refuses-to-answer-clinton-separation-form-question/

 nObama's Warning Letter to Senate: Don’t Mess With My Iran Deal! 
(Suzanne Hamner) - nObama wasted no time in having his chief of staff, Denis McDonough, fire off a letter to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Bob Corker, (R-TN) warning "US Senators to withhold legislation"...that "would likely have a profoundly negative impact on the ongoing negotiations" with Iran. The letter is issuing a veto threat of Corker's Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 which requires Congress to approve any nuclear deal reached with Iran. Additionally, this letter from the administration could be seen as a response to one signed by 47 Republican Senators that was sent to Iran's Ayatollah.     http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/03/obamas-warning-letter-to-senate-dont-go-messing-with-my-iran-deal/

 President Bystander Blames Bush For ISIS  
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - Year after year, scandal after scandal – this president always sings the same tune whenever something bad happens. It was somebody else’s fault and poor nObama was the last one to find out...In his interview with Vice News, he played the part of a character we’ve become all too familiar with – the shocked and bewildered bystander who is perennially having to clean up other peoples’ messes. The problem with that pose of course, is – Obama’s been the president for over six years. It is his government that has allowed ISIS to metastasize in Syria.  It was nObama’s CIA who funneled millions of dollars into the hands of al-Qaida, the Taliban, and ISIS. It was nObama who funneled weapons to the Syrian rebel fighters who often turned out to be ISIS fighters. It was nObama himself who called ISIS the Jay-Vee team after they had taken over Fallujah in Iraq. It is nothing short of despicable that he would try to blame President Bush for the creation of his terrorist Frankenstein. And here’s the really sick part – al Qaeda in Iraq had been routed by US forces in Iraq thanks to Bush’s surge (which President Bystander opposed.) nObama snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory by pulling out all of our troops before Iraq was ready to defend itself.       
Is Hanoi John Kerry a Moron?
Alan Caruba
Kerry%2B-%2BIdiot.jpg
     (factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - I can recall Hanoi John Kerry, nObama’s Secretary of State, from the days he testified to a congressional committee and slandered his fellow soldiers as the spokesman for Veterans Against the Vietnam War in 1971. I was appalled then and my opinion of the man has not changed since those days. I opposed the war, too, but I did not blame it on the men who were conscripted to fight it, nor did I believe the charges he leveled against some of them.


     These days Hanoi Kerry is engaged in securing an agreement with the Iranians, if not to stop their program to make their own nuclear weapons than to slow it to a later date. Never mind that the Iranian government is listed by our own government as a leading sponsor of terrorism worldwide or that they have signed such agreements in the past and then tossed out the inspectors.
 
     Hanoi Kerry is convinced that the nObama administration can get an agreement that is, in his own words, “not legally binding”, nor is it a treaty that the U.S. Senate would have to vote for or against. In point of fact, President nObama can make the deal—sign the agreement—just as Presidents have done for over two hundred years. It can then be abrogated by whoever the next President will be.
 
     Why nObama and Hanoi Kerry are doing this defies my understanding. It gives the Iranians more time to reach nuclear capability. It is opposed by every nation in the Middle East. It puts every nation within reach of Iran’s missiles at risk and it virtually guarantees the destruction of Israel, a goal of Iran’s Islamic Revolution from the day it was born. Hanoi Kerry is negotiating with people who took our diplomats hostage in 1979 and have played a role in the deaths of many Americans since then.
 
Is Hanoi John Kerry a moron? I think so.
 
     I asked myself this question in regard to another area of U.S. policy which the Secretary of State is also championing even if millions around the world have concluded otherwise.
 
     On March 2nd, Hanoi Kerry addressed the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C, telling them what he has been saying in many forums. Let us understand that “climate change” is the name being used to replace “global warming”, because the Earth has been in a cooling cycle for the past 18 years or so. And let us understand that “climate change” has been happening for 4.5 billion years.
     Hanoi Kerry said, “So when science tells us that our climate is changing and human beings are largely causing that change, by what right do people stand up and just say, ‘Well, I dispute that’ or ‘I deny that elementary truth’?” 
 
     The problem with this is that human beings are not causing the planet’s climate change. Forces far greater than humans are involved, not the least of which is the Sun.
 
     As for science, its most fundamental methodology is to constantly challenge the various ‘truths’ put forward as theories until they can be proved to be true by being independently reproduced. Nothing about the “global warming” theories has been true. All of the computer models on which it was based have been proven inaccurate. In some cases, they were deliberately rigged.
 
     On television meteorologists remind us that every day, indeed, from morning to night, the temperatures of the area about which they are reporting are in a constant state of change. They show us satellite photography and mapping that demonstrates how dynamic the weather is on any spot on Earth. The climate, however, is measured in decades and centuries. Every one of the doomsday predictions of the global warming “scientists” and propagandists have been wrong.
 
     The enemies of the use of energy to enhance and improve the lives of the residents of Earth began to claim in the 1970s and 80s that carbon dioxide (CO2) was threatening the climate.
 
     At best, CO2 is a very minor element of the Earth’s atmosphere, about 0.04%, which gets it rated as “a trace gas.” As such, it plays no role with regard to the climate.
 
Kerry%2Bas%2BHerman.jpg
     Hanoi Kerry asserted that climate change is “one of the biggest threats facing our planet today” and should be ranked with terrorism, epidemics, poverty and nuclear proliferation…” Oh, wait! Isn’t this the same Secretary of State negotiating with Iran to allow it to become a nuclear power?
 
And what “solution” does he offer to reduce the “threat” of climate change? Hanoi Kerry urged that the U.S. transition away from “dirty sources of energy” such as coal, oil and natural gas.
 
     Writing in a recent issue of The Wall Street Journal, Matt Ridley noted that “In 2015, about 87% of the energy that the world consumed came from fossil fuels, a figure that—remarkably—was unchanged from 10 years before. This roughly divides into three categories of fuel and three categories of use: oil used mainly for transport, gas used mainly for heating, and coal used mainly for electricity.”
     Fossil fuels have made the difference between modern life and burning cow dung to cook dinner. A billion people on Earth still do not have electricity.
 
     Less obvious, but significantly more threatening is the White House effort to get the U.S. signed up for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its International Climate Justice tribunal. This is a follow-up to the 1977 Kyoto Protocol that was unanimously rejected by the U.S. Senate. Why? Because such treaties threaten the sovereignty of the U.S. and, just as importantly, because the entire United Nation’s climate program is a huge fraud.
     This is what Hanoi John Kerry wants the U.S. to agree to, just like the Iran deal, and just to be sure the U.S. Senate, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution, doesn’t have a say in it, he and the President are calling these deals anything other than a treaty.
 
     Is Hanoi John Kerry a moron? Maybe not as dumb as he seems to be, but surely cynical and devious.
 
Unfortunately, he is the Secretary of State.
