For three days, these children and adults were held hostage in a sweltering gymnasium, denied food and water, stripped of their clothing, forced to keep their hands over their heads, while many of the children were raped and sexually abused.  The harrowing siege ended on September 3rd with a series of explosions and a hail of gunfire between the terrorists and Russian security forces that resulted in the deaths of as many as 380 hostages – more than half of them children.

NCREASED BLACKLISTING which smears patriotic Counterjihadists, Christians, and Conservatives as “hate groups” aims to defund them and scrub their existence from the internet

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/SPLC-ad-e1504672490864.jpg?resize=400%2C400" alt="" width="400" height="400" />It started several years ago when the filthy-rich leaders of the far-left George Soros-funded Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) began to redirect their focus from racist Neo-Nazi groups to Christians, Conservatives, and Counterjihad activists whom they repeatedly slander and defame as “hate groups,” based on nothing more than their political leanings. SPLC and it new imitators working to get these groups boycotted, defunded, and ultimately erased from the internet.

In addition to the Southern Poverty Law Center SPLC list of hate groups and individuals, sites like Bare Naked Islam have been blacklisted by the (Jewish) Anti-Defamation League ADLPro-Publica and the newest one called Color of Change/Blood Money.

On Wednesday, online civil rights group Color of Change launched a website, Blood Money, that targets major credit card companies such as Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express, as well as PayPal and Apple Pay, for processing funds for hate groups and white supremacist organizations.

Color of Change has rolled out its version of the Southern Poverty Law Center blacklist. The race-baiting group, co-founded by CNN’s Van Jones, put up a petition demanding that credit card companies stop taking “blood money” by “processing funds for over 100 white supremacist hate groups.”

Michigan: Yemeni Muslims Suing KFC… For Serving Bacon

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

Source: KFC Sued For Serving Bacon To Muslim Couple – Dearborn, MI Patch  h/t freerepublic.com

A Muslim couple from Dearborn is suing Kentucky Fried Chicken for having recently been served bacon on a chicken sandwiches. An unspecified amount of damages are being sought by the couple, who purchased the sandwiches at a Lincoln Park KFC. They allege cheese and bacon were added to the sandwiches after they requested cheese only, according to a Detroit Free Press report.

In May, a Dearborn man of Muslim faith sued Little Caesars for $100 million after he was allegedly served and then accidentally ate pepperoni made with pork, a food prohibited by Islamic law. The boxes were labeled “halal,” but the pies inside were topped with regular pepperoni.

Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni filed lawsuits in both cases. He is also representing a Jewish woman in Sterling Heights, who is suing Denny’s Restaurants for also having been served bacon, the Free Press reported.

“The newer lawsuits allege breach of contract, negligent representation, and are asking for monetary damages for what they said is emotional and physical distress from having eaten bacon. Both lawsuits have been filed in Wayne County Circuit Court.”

“At KFC we respect the religious beliefs of our guests of all faiths,” said a KFC spokesman. “We believe this lawsuit was filed as a result of a miscommunication between the guest and our team member. We cannot comment further on pending litigation against one of our franchisees.”

Yemeni-American Muslim couple from Dearborn,  Askar Abubaker, and his wife, Hasinah Saeed, who wears an Islamic face veil, ordered chicken sandwiches at a KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) restaurant in Lincoln Park on Dix Road on the afternoon of July 1.

According to the lawsuit, Abubaker asked the employee behind the counter what was in the chicken sandwich. He then asked the employee: “Do you have cheese?”

The KFC employee replied: “We have cheese and bacon, it’s going to be an additional $1.”

Abubaker said he asked whether it was American cheese; the employee said only Swiss cheese was available.

“I’ll take Swiss only, no bacon,” Abubaker said he told the employee, ordering two chicken sandwiches.

After taking bites, and finding out there was bacon, he told the cashier: “What is this? Why did you guys put this in my food?”

Abubaker  said the cashier replied: “This is bacon, I’m sorry, I’ll make another one.”

The Muslim couple alleges the “employees were looking at us and smiling.”

The attorney handling the cases, Moughni, said there needs to be changes in how restaurants are handling food.

“You can’t allow this practice to continue, whether you’re Muslim or Jewish, and you walk into an establishment and they don’t care about what they are serving.”

Moughni filed a similar lawsuit in May against a Little Caesars Pizza in Dearborn that advertised halal pepperoni pizza, which Moughni said wasn’t halal and contained pork. An attorney for Little Caesars has said the lawsuit should be dismissed and is without merit.

( Muslimns do not assimilkate! They infilyrate! )

Abu Qatada lived in Britain for many years. How many Muslim who he taught and trained are still there and still active?

In a recent address, Salafi Jordanian cleric Abu Qatada Al-Filastini said that if Muslims adopt the “banner of true Islam,” they would be upholding an Islam that implements the prophecies about “entering each and every home” and “raiding Rome.” “There can be only one outcome: confrontation,” said Abu Qatada, whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Othman.

Ending the dream

President Donald Trump put an end to the illegal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. What you likely will not hear in the news media, the protests and all the back and forth about this policy is that it was Constitutionally illegal. In his effort to remake America, the immediate past "president" created the policy in 2012 to allow the illegal immigration of children into the US and ran into legal issues by attempting to expand it in 2014. About 800,000 illegal aliens aged 15-36, the majority of them adults, are impacted by this unilaterally invoked policy that had no legal basis. Now, the leftists are going crazy that Trump might expel these "children" from the United States.
 
The White House statement said, " DACA was not statutorily authorized and was therefore an unconstitutional exercise of discretion by the executive branch...The Trump Administration is taking responsible action to wind down DACA in an orderly and minimally disruptive manner....DHS's enforcement priorities remain in place. However, absent a law enforcement interest-which is largely the standard that has been in place since the inception of the program-the Department will generally not take actions to remove active DACA recipients." The Trump Administration is allowing a six-month window for Congress to act with responsible legislation.
 
Trump was lambasted by the previous "president"  in a statement saying he asked Congress to act, but..."That bill never came...my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people, so that they could continue to contribute to our communities and our country... This is about whether we are a people who kick hopeful young strivers out of America, or whether we treat them the way we'd want our kids to be treated." The previous "president" broke the law by allowing these kids AND their parents to stay in the country illegally. When Congress didn't do what this "president" wanted, he chose to make his own law. Now there are consequences and to many they seem to be inhumane and unfair.
 
The previous "president" had a dream to remake America into a socialist nation. To achieve his dream, he was willing to break the law. The immigration laws of this nation are similar to those in the Bible. Leviticus 24:22 says, " You shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country." There is a path to legal citizenship and also to work here legally. If the first act of entering a country is to break the law, then no law is truly respected. The willful act of ignoring the law by the previous "president" has brought harm to those he was trying to protect, and to many Americans who were victims of the crime that was created as a result. Now another President gets the heat for ending the dream by enforcing the law. 
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Battles Lines Drawn in the Fight for School Choice

It’s looking likely that a school choice bill passed by the Arizona legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey will ultimately be decided by voters in 2018.

Senate Bill 1431, a measure that expands eligibility for students to enroll in a school-voucher program, was passed in April. The bill makes all 1.1 million Arizona students eligible to apply for the state’s Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) — a program in which students in public schools can use a voucher to attend a school of their choice, be it public or private.

Previously, only a select group of students in Arizona were eligible to apply, such as children with disabilities or students enrolled in under-performing schools. The ESA program now gives eligibility to all Arizona students, but it caps actual enrollment to 30,000.

After its passage in the state legislature, however, opposition groups garnered more than enough signatures to block its implementation.

Save Our Schools, an organization formed in resistance to the bill, collected 111,540 signatures to force Senate Bill 1431 to the ballot box. Only 75,321 valid signatures were needed.

Implementation of the measure has been put on hold as the secretary of state’s office checks the validity of the signatures. If the office finds that there are enough valid signatures (which is likely, given the high number submitted), the expansion of the program will be left for voters to decide next year.

Opponents argue the Arizona school system is already underfunded — the state historically ranks very low in terms of student performance — and an expansion of ESA would only siphon more money away from cash-starved schools.

“The fundamental argument is that we’re not adequately funding the education system that we have, that the vast majority of families are using. So let’s not create another way of cutting into that funding until we’ve solved that,” said Dawn Penich Thacker, the communications director of Save Our Schools Arizona.

Thacker spoke to Western Journalism about why her group is against the expansion of ESA and what needs to be done to fix the Arizona school system.

“Our main issue was that this was not a collaborative process. One movement got to have its say. So Save Our Schools Arizona wants to back away from that, put it to the voters and then say ‘let’s start over.’ What will help education in Arizona? It will probably be a hybrid of things. It will probably be a mix of choice options, public education and who knows what else. But let’s have that conversation,” she said.

“It’s hard to improve if you’re broke. Our schools are no different.”

Thacker pointed out that despite Arizona families having “choice” options, the vast majority of them choose public schools for their children. She believes if the bill is put into the hands of voters, they will ultimately choose to vote down an expansion of ESA.

“Voters want a strong education system that is built in. Ninety-five percent of Arizona families, even though we are a choice state, are still choosing public options.”

Thacker said she was caught off guard by the amount of private and home school family volunteers petitioning against ESA expansion.

These unlikely opponents of the measure told her that its implementation would lead to the type of regulation that they tried to get away from in the public system. Accepting voucher money from the government would, in their eyes, eventually take away choice.

They believe this particular law would take away the freedom that they get with current school choice options.

“Whenever you take something from the government, there are going to be strings attached,” Thacker warned.

But there are many supporters of ESA expansion who do not see it this way.

“The number of dollars that would be affected by this change, while it’s an important change, is still pretty narrow. This is almost a pilot program. It’s capped at just a few thousand kids who are going to be able to take advantage of it. In a state this size, giving these sorts of ESA options to a few thousand kids, is not a significant shift of dollars away from public schools,” said Kory Langhofer, an attorney for the Goldwater Institute.

The Goldwater Institute filed a lawsuit over the attempt to delay the program’s expansion. The conservative think tank believes school choice empowers families and students, and it argues that halting the program’s implementation is putting the education of Arizona children in limbo.

“What this bill does is if your kid is not getting a proper education, it gives you a chance to fix that. It gets your kid into a better school where they can learn to be successful,” Langhofer told Western Journalism.

Langhofer said Arizona children can’t wait 18 months for a 2018 voter referendum (what would take place if the signatures collected by Save Our Schools are deemed valid).

“The reason people are opposing the referendum is because if your kid is in a bad school right now and you need to get them a better education, you can’t afford to wait 18 months for that. The bill can be put on hold, but your kid’s third-grade education can’t be put on hold,” Langhofer said.

Currently, the ESA program is only available for a select group of Arizona students. Langhofer pointed out that these students are in the best position to say whether it works, and he argued they approve.

“The families who are using the program are in the best position to say whether it’s helping them and they seem to happy. They continue to stay in the program.”

Langhofer and other supporters of school choice support the bill that was passed by the Arizona legislature. He believes Gov. Ducey has done a good job in tackling education issues.

“Fixing education is not easy. It’s extremely expensive. I think it’s the biggest line item in the state’s budget and if you’re going to make meaningful changes that large and run by bureaucracy, it’s difficult to turn the ship. The changes he (Ducey) made have been good for education, good for school choice.”

If and when the decision to expand school choice is left to the citizens of Arizona, Langhofer is expecting a tough campaign for the hearts and minds of the state’s voters.

Ex-Navy Seal Issued A Warning Dedicated To Anyone Who Wants To Harm President Trump

A post shared on Facebook this week, set social media on fire. It’s actually a warning for Clinton supporters that can be deadly for them if they try to take down President Trump.

Ex-Navy Seal Craig “Sawman” Sawyer issued a warning dedicated to anyone who is trying to take down the President on the un-Constitutional way.

Only the Congress has the right to remove a sitting president, according to U.S. Constitution, for his incapability to understand that the Constitution is the law and he must stand by the oath to respect and protect it.

Ex-President Barack Obama made the very same oath which made him an easy target for impeachment, but instead, he ends up leading this country into failure for 8 long years.

Here is the letter that Ex-Navy Seal Craig wrote:

“Note: Nowhere here does this say innocent civilians or a legit impeachment. On the contrary, this speaks specifically to an illegal silent coup by corrupt officials using false charges, as has leaked out by Clinton cronies lately. Anything else is a different scenario entirely. Honor our Constitution! Keep it straight.

Americans, Patriots, pray for our nation. Pray for our President.

I’m hearing serious rumblings of a hostile, illegal coup against our democratically elected President by seditious, deep-state subversives funded by Soros & other globalists. Very disturbing.

Patriots, this would be nothing less than an act of war against the American people. It would be the removal of our boldest defender & last possibility of maintaining our protective Constitution. Under the boot of globalists, life as we know it, would immediately decline to the model that suits the globalist interest – Marxist/Socialist/Communist. They get complete control, you get zero. Freedom, Gone! Liberty, Gone! This agenda is evil and simply cannot be allowed, at ANY cost.

Like ALL military, law enforcement and government officials, I took an oath to defend our Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. By abandoning the rule of law and conducting a coup against the President & policies WE THE PEOPLE elected, they have made themselves enemies of the United States.

Under threat, ALL patriots, whether civilian, law enforcement, government, or military, have the duty to defend our Constitution against such enemies. Some speculate on “civil war”. I readily recognize a much more sobering reality: Anti-American subversives involved in ANY WAY in an unconstitutional coup against our President will be run down and executed immediately by the world’s most supreme warriors. There will be nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide, no mercy, no sense of humor. Harsh examples will be made. My prediction is it will be a gruesome massacre. Why? Because one side in this conflict has 8 Trillion bullets & the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.

It will likely only take a few hours. Lessons will be learned. History will take note. Order restored.

Patriots, We The American People stand united as one, against ALL enemies. We are peace-loving people who abide by the rule of law. Prepare yourselves in case this ridiculous insanity actually gets played out and the rule of law goes out the window under their gross miscarriage of our legal process. Shaking my head…

United We Stand! At the ready. USA!”

The left will, of course, say that this is a result of “Trump Rhetoric,” and will not admit that actually is a result of the destructive presidency of Barack Obama.

The left for long years were presenting themselves as victims, and we can clearly see that now. They thought that after Obama and his absurd social justice programs, they will never lose. The couldn’t imagine that someone like Donald Trump will win the elections with huge support from voters. They were so unsatisfied, that nothing else left for them other than violent protests.

On the other hand, the right are pacifists and people who don’t support a war, but if someone messes with our president, they will do everything to protect him. The best thing for left is to be quiet, as we did during the Obama presidency.

Bill de Blasio goes full Communist, argues against private property, says state should determine who lives where

In an interview published Monday at NY Mag, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio went full Communist, arguing against private property rights while saying the state should decide who gets to live in what buildings.

“In 2013, you ran on reducing income inequality. Where has it been hardest to make progress? Wages, housing, schools?” Chris Smith asked.

“What’s been hardest is the way our legal system is structured to favor private property,” de Blasio said. “I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be.”

Wait a second — de Blasio thinks residents of New York want the city to decide who gets to live in what buildings?  No wonder we like to refer to him as “Comrade” de Blasio.  But there’s more.

“I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community, that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs,” he added, apparently drawing from the Communist maxim of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

He then admitted his desire for central planning: “And I would, too. Unfortunately, what stands in the way of that is hundreds of years of history that have elevated property rights and wealth to the point that that’s the reality that calls the tune on a lot of development.”

He added:

I’ll give you an example. I was down one day on Varick Street, somewhere close to Canal, and there was a big sign out front of a new condo saying, “Units start at $2 million.” And that just drives people stark raving mad in this city, because that kind of development is clearly not for everyday people. It’s almost like it’s being flaunted. Look, if I had my druthers, the city government would determine every single plot of land, how development would proceed. And there would be very stringent requirements around income levels and rents. That’s a world I’d love to see, and I think what we have, in this city at least, are people who would love to have the New Deal back, on one level. They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality.

It’s not reachable right now. And it leaves this friction, and this anger, which is visceral. I try to explain the things we can do. It’s a little bit of a Serenity Prayer — let’s talk about the things we can fix. The rent freeze we did reached over 2 million people.In 2015 and 2016, the mayor’s appointees ruled that new one-year leases on rent-stabilized units could not increase. I’ve talked to people who were going to be evicted, and we stopped the eviction by giving them a free lawyer. And I’ve talked to people who got affordable housing under our plan for 200,000 apartments.

America Rising PAC said de Blasio “channeled Vladimir Lenin and Fidel Castro in his comments about private property.”

“Mayor de Blasio has long been anti-capitalism,” America Rising added. “With his latest incendiary comments to New York Magazine, it’s clear he’s serious about challenging Bernie Sanders in 2020 for the title of most out-of-touch leftist running for president.”

“This is today’s Democrat Party,” Jim Hoft said at the Gateway Pundit. “Open Communism.”

Sadly, a growing number of people actually support this nonsense, despite the fact that socialism has never worked and Communism has killed some 100 million people.

Maybe de Blasio should go live in Venezuela for a few years… Maybe he’ll have a change of heart.  Or not…

SMACK DOWN: After Reporter Calls Trump Cold-Hearted, All HELL Breaks Loose…

712
SHARES

During an explosive on-camera press briefing today, Sarah Huckabee Sanders took questions from the press on the announcement by Attorney General Jeff Sessions this morning that the White House intends to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) with a six month delay, giving Congress time to act on the legislation or face its complete repeal.

Huck-777x437.jpg

John Roberts began by asking Sarah how she thinks the divided Republican party in Congress is going to be able to get anything accomplished easily. She interrupts him and completely ruins his narrative with the TRUTH.

“With all due respect, I don’t think the American people elected Congress to do things that were ‘easy,’ they elected them to make a government that works … and works for the American people. That’s their job. If they can’t do it then they need to get out of the way and let somebody else who can take on a heavy lift and get things accomplished.”

Image result for SMACK DOWN: After Reporter Calls Trump Cold-Hearted, All HELL Breaks Loose!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is 100% correct! Congress has failed America on so many levels over the past six months. It’s time that they do their job, or let someone else more capable take over!

A few questions later, a reporter even goes so far as to say thatPresident Trump is “cold-hearted” for his decision on DACA. To which Sanders replies that the President is doing what he was ELECTED TO DO! He is following the rule of law, unlike Obama who ignored the legal process ENTIRELY!

This needs to be said over and over until RINOs and Democrats get it in their head that they work for the American people and the American people are fed up with their flip-flopping and obstructionist tactics.

Congress, get ready to do your job – DACA!

The extremely important mid-term elections are coming up in 2018 and these congressional leaders are on notice that they better do their job or get out!

CNN and MSNBC Claim DACA-Recipients Are ‘Children’

CNN and MSNBC are repeating the false claim that DACA recipients are “children” or “kids,” while actually most are adults.

While DACA recipients were illegally brought to the United States by their parents when they were children, the minimum age to apply for the program is 15 years old. In fact, the majority of the applicants were over the age of 20 based on 2014 data from the US government. Some have estimated that the average age of dreamers is 25 or 26 years old–hardly children.

But those watching CNN and MSNBC might be under the impression that the DACA debate centers on young kids.

{rickwells.us} ~ Three questions pop to mind when witnessing the disgusting display of this anti-American interview. First, why does President Trump have a racist who represents the racist organization... the “United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce” on his national diversity council? Second, why does President Trump have a national diversity council, what is in essence another race-based social engineering organization as part of his administration? Third, why is it ‘deplorable’ to enforce the laws of this nation as they are written without subjective special interests or favoritism in the United States? It’s interesting that the racist advocate for Hispanic border-crashers, Javier Palomarez, says that the so-called “DREAMers” aren’t costing us anything. He’s one of those fat cat business types who get richer by pilfering off of the American people, employing low wage foreign labor, so it may not be costing him. Those jobs that he touts the “DREAMers” as having belong to Americans. They’ve been stolen by him, his racist amigos, and the illegals, enabled by another illegal alien, the former pretend ‘president,’ Hussein liar-nObama...  http://rickwells.us/racist-hispanic-agitator-demands-daca-americans-jobs-and-papers-for-illegals-or-trumps-a-liar/

But we must also recognize that we are a nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws,” President Trump said, in a lengthy written statement explaining the decision.  The Department of Homeland Security formally rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, with a six-month delay for current recipients. According to Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke, the interval is meant to give Congress “time to deliver on appropriate legislative solutions.”...  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/05/trump-administration-ends-daca-with-6-month-delay.html

Way back on July 2, 2008, Barack liar-nObama issued a declaration that made my head spin, yet no one, and I mean no one, took notice until I wrote about it several days later. Then it caught fire. That fire has never been quenched... In a long campaign speech, he dropped this little bomb: “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Over the years, I’ve wondered what became of that idea – a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded as the U.S. military. Lately, I’ve been getting inquiries from readers about whether we’re now seeing the realization of liar-nObama’s concept in the streets of America – from Berkeley to Charlottesville...

MOBS: A GROWTH INDUSTRY
by Burt Prelutsky

There is no longer a good reason why all those 20-somethings should be lying around in their parents’ basements just because they majored in Black, Hispanic or Transgender Studies, and graduated with a degree in vandalism.

It so happens there are plenty of jobs just waiting for them.  All they have to do is type in political activism, and they will emerge in a left-wing wonderland where if you’re willing to organize on behalf of the ACLU, People for the American Way, SAG-AFTRA, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Ben & Jerry’s political arm or just show up and make trouble at a Trump event, that lazy couch potato can roll off the couch and earn from $1,600-$2,400-a-month.  And if you display the sort of initiative that George Soros really admires, say by bringing a club or a baseball bat to the party, I’m sure the sky’s the limit.

What’s more, it’s highly unlikely that you will wind up with a rap sheet, because mayors are insisting that the cops turn a blind eye to all sorts of mischief involving statues and monuments.  It’s true that a few rabble-rousers in Boston were arrested recently, but even that wasn’t for toppling longstanding statues, but for breaking longstanding statutes.  

To me, one of the oddities of declaring war on statues is that it has branched out from targeting Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and other Confederate generals, to including the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Christopher Columbus.

I’m frankly surprised that aside from a single incident in Illinois, Abe Lincoln has been spared.  After all, if he hadn’t decided to deny the South the right to secede from the Union, there wouldn’t have been a Civil War that left 700,000 dead and no need to have all those Confederate generals in the first place.

● One can judge how corrupt the media has become when you realize that both Reuters and the Washington Post described the masked and armed anti-Trump mob in Phoenix as “peace activists.”

I suppose you could describe them that way if you’re the sort of moral cretin who’d describe the members of ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Taliban, as freedom fighters.

As a rule, though, when I see Americans in the streets wearing gasmasks, carrying clubs and throwing rocks and bottles at the cops, I assume they’re fascist thugs who belong in jail, preferably one run by Joe Arpaio.

● In the always tough competition for being named Hypocrite of the Year, I think that even with four months remaining in 2017, we have a winner.  In her book, “What Happened,” which I believe should end with a question mark, liar-Hillary Clinton reports that during the second presidential debate when Donald Trump approached her on stage, she felt she was not only in the presence of evil, but that she felt her skin crawling.  And, why wouldn’t she?  After all, she regarded him as a creep, a serial groper of women, and here he was, absolutely looming over her like a gargoyle.

The problem is that for millions of us, it sounded less like a 69-year-old writing a book about a political campaign and more like a page out of liar-Hillary Rodham’s diary after her first date with liar-Bill Clinton.

With Mrs. liar-Clinton, the laughs never stop.  Consider that when she was asked how it was that she was named liar-Hillary, she mentioned that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who was knighted for his conquest of Mt. Everest.  The problem is that she was born in 1948, and Sir Edmund didn’t climb the world’s tallest mountain until 1953.

Frankly, I think we are long past having to select a Hypocrite of the Year on an annual basis.  It’s time to either end the competition or at least commission a trophy to be bestowed in the future and call it the liar-Hillary.

● That’s not to suggest that we don’t have a lot of competitors when it comes to battling it out for second place.  Consider if you will how many celebrities vowed in 2016 to move to some other country if we yahoos went ahead and elected Donald Trump.  I’m only guessing, but it wouldn’t surprise me if those promises didn’t help push Trump over the top in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

I mean, if I’d been one of those people sitting on the fence last November, I would certainly have cast my lot with Trump if I thought it would mean that Barbra Streisand, Bryan Cranston, Miley Cyrus, Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, Jon Stewart, George Lopez, Ne-Yo, Cher, Keegan-Michael Key, Chelsea Handler, Samuel Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Neve Campbell and Al Sharpton, would all be packing their bags.  Unfortunately, they no longer seem to hear the siren call of Canada, Mexico, Sweden and South Africa.

Okay, I admit I never heard of Ne-Yo and Keegan-Michael Key, either, but they promised to leave, and they and their damn hyphens are still hanging around.

Hiroshima was 15 kilotons, we’re talking about upwards of 100 to 1,000 kilotons above that. So this is a very severe, very important step forward if they’ve mastered it.” He says, “The components look about right regarding the photographs but we just don’t know at this point.” Shaffer believe the US response needs to be a very stern, looking them square in the eye, saying, ‘This continued menacing of the allies in the region and us is not acceptable.”...  http://rickwells.us/tony-shaffer-n-korea-better-learn-trump-kowtow-appease/

But, there is a big caveat to this. President liar-nObama, almost until the moment he enacted DACA, insisted such an act by the President would be unconstitutional. I agree. While in principle I support DACA, I do not believe the President has the power to enact it without legislation. There is no legislation that would give the President the power to do it. Therefore, I believe DACA is unconstitutional. Regardless of my personal preferences, I think the constitution has to override everything else. And without constitutional authority, whether I like it or not, I cannot support it.

The Strategic Case for Kurdistan
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ If the leaders of Iraqi Kurdistan aren’t intimidated into standing down, on September 25, the people of Iraqi Kurdistan will go to the polls to vote on a referendum for independence.

The Kurds have been hoping to hold the referendum since 2013.

Whereas Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu restated his support for Kurdish independence earlier this month in a meeting with a delegation of visiting Republican congressmen, the Trump administration has urged Kurdish President Masoud Barzani and his colleagues to postpone the referendum indefinitely.

US Defense Secretary James Mattis, who visited with Barzani in the Kurdish capital of Erbil two weeks ago, said that the referendum would harm the campaign against Islamic State.

In his words, “Our point right now is to stay focused like a laser beam on the defeat of ISIS and to let nothing distract us.”

Another line of argument against the Kurdish referendum was advanced several weeks ago by The New York Times editorial board. The Times argued the Kurds aren’t ready for independence. Their government suffers from corruption, their economy is weak, their democratic institutions are weak and their human rights record is far from perfect.

While the Times’ claims have truth to them, the relevant question is compared to what? Compared to their neighbors, not to mention to the Times’ favored group the Palestinians, the Kurds, who have been self-governing since 1991, are paragons of good governance. Not only have they given refuge to tens of thousands of Iraqis fleeing ISIS, Iraqi Kurdistan has been an island of relative peace in a war-torn country since the US-led invasion in 2003.

Its Peshmerga forces have not only secured Kurdistan, they have been the most competent force fighting ISIS since its territorial conquests in 2014.

The same is the case of the Kurdish YPG militia in Syrian Kurdistan.

As for Mattis’s argument that the referendum, and any subsequent moves to secede from Iraq, would harm the campaign against ISIS, the first question is whether he is right.

If Mattis is concerned that the referendum will diminish Iranian and Turkish support for the campaign, then his concern is difficult to defend.

Turkey has never been a significant player in the anti-ISIS campaign. Indeed, until recently, Turkey served as ISIS’s logistical base.

As for Iran, this week Iranian-controlled Hezbollah and Lebanese military forces struck a deal to permit ISIS fighters they defeated along the Lebanese-Syrian border to safely transit Syria to ISIS-held areas along the Syrian border with Iraq. In other words, far from cooperating with the US and its allies against ISIS, Iran and its underlings are fighting a separate war to take ISIS out of their areas of influence while enabling ISIS to fight the US and its allies in other areas.

This then brings us to the real question that the US should be asking itself in relation to the Kurdish referendum. That question is whether an independent Kurdistan would advance or harm US strategic interests in the region.

Since the US and Russia concluded their cease-fire deal for Syria on July 7, Netanyahu has used every opportunity to warn that the cease-fire is a disaster.

In the interest of keeping Mattis’s “laser focus” on fighting ISIS, the US surrendered its far greater strategic interest of preventing Iran and its proxies from taking over the areas that ISIS controlled – such as the Syrian-Lebanese border and the tri-border area between Iraq, Syria and Jordan. As Netanyahu warns at every opportunity, Iran and its proxies are moving into all the areas being liberated from ISIS.

And Iran isn’t the only concern from either an Israeli or an American perspective. Turkey is also a looming threat, which will only grow if it isn’t contained.

Turkey’s rapidly accelerating anti-American trajectory is now unmistakable.

Last week during Mattis’s visit to Ankara, Turkish- supported militias in northern Syria opened fire on US forces. Not only did Turkey fail to apologize, Turkey condemned the US for retaliating against the attackers.

Moreover, last week, Turkish authorities announced they are charging US pastor Andrew Brunson with espionage, membership in a terrorist organization and attempting to destroy Turkey’s constitutional order and overthrow its parliament.

Brunson was arrested last October.

Whereas until last year’s failed military coup against the regime of President Recep Erdogan, Turkey demonstrated a firm interest in remaining a member of NATO and a strategic ally of the US, since the failed coup, Turkey has signaled that it at best, it is considering its options. US generals say that since the failed coup, they have almost no one to talk to in the Turkish military. Their interlocutors are either under arrest or too afraid to speak to them.

The regime and its supporters express both neo-Ottoman and neo-colonial aspirations, both of which place Turkey on a collision course with the US.

For instance, Melih Ecertas, the head of Erdogan AK Party’s youth wing, proclaimed that Erdogan is not merely the president of Turkey, rather he is “president of all the world’s Muslims.

So, too, Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi called Erdogan “the hope of all Muslims and of Islam.”

Qaradawi, who lives in Qatar and is Qatar’s Al Jazeera satellite channel’s superstar preacher, has good reason to love Erdogan.

In June, Erdogan decided to make a strategic move to protect the pro-Muslim Brotherhood and pro-Iranian Qatari regime from its angry neighbors, led by Saudi Arabia. Turkey’s deployment of forces to Doha stalled the Saudi-led campaign against the Qatari regime.

If the regime survives, and if world oil prices continue to drop and so weaken Saudi economic power, Turkey’s decision to deploy its forces to Qatar could be the first step toward realizing its neo-Ottoman ambitions.

As for neo-imperialism, last October Foreign Policy reported that Turkish television now uses a map from 1918 to define Turkey’s current borders. From 1918 through 1920, Turkish territory included large portions of Iraq, among them Kurdistan and Mosul, as well as large swaths of Syria, including Aleppo.

Foreign Policy reported that use of the map indicates that as the post-World War I map of the Middle East becomes obsolete, Erdogan sees an opportunity to expand Turkish territory.

Then there are Erdogan’s moves to build strategic ties with Russia and Iran.

Last November the NATO member announced it is negotiating the purchase of an S-400 air defense system from Russia.

As for Iran, last week Maj.-Gen, Mohammad Hossein Baghari, Iran’s chief of General Staff, paid the first official visit by an Iranian army chief to Turkey since the 1979 revolution. Baghari met not only by his Turkish counterpart, Gen. Hulusi Akar, but with Erdogan as well.

Erdogan said after the meeting that he and Baghari discussed possible joint military action against the Kurds in northern Iraq, Syria and Iran.

In his words, “Joint action against terrorist groups that have become a threat is always on the agenda.

This issue has been discussed between the two military chiefs, and I discussed more broadly how this should be carried out.”

Baghari was more explicit. He effectively announced that Iran and Turkey will respond with force to the Kurdish referendum.

“Both sides stressed that if the Kurdish referendum would be held, it will be the basis for the start of a series of tensions and conflicts inside Iraq, the consequences of which will affect neighboring countries.”

Baghari continued, “Holding the referendum will get Iraq, but also Iran and Turkey involved and that’s why the authorities of the two countries emphasize that it is not possible and should not be done.”

This then brings us back to Israel and the US and why Netanyahu is right to support Kurdish independence and the Trump administration is wrong to oppose it.

So long as there is no significant change in the nature of the Iranian and Turkish regimes, their empowerment will come at the expense of the US, Israel and the Arab Sunni states.

The Kurds, with their powerful and experienced military forces in Iraq and Syria alike, constitute a significant check on both Iranian and Turkish power.

Several commentators argue that the Turks will respond to the Kurdish referendum by waging a war of annihilation against the Kurds in Iraq and beyond. Iran, they warn, will assist in Turkish efforts.

As far as Iran is concerned, in the near future, its central effort will remain in Syria. As for Turkey, whereas Erdogan and his followers may wish to undertake such a campaign, today it hard to imagine them succeeding.

A year after the failed coup, the Turkish military is astounding observers with its incompetent performance in Syria. Despite the fact that Turkish forces are fighting in Syria in areas adjacent to their border, they are unable to competently project their force.

Turkey’s underperformance in Syria makes clear that the Turkish armed forces, which Erdogan gutted in his purges of the officer and NCO corps in the wake of the failed coup, have not rebuilt their strength.

According to an analysis by Al-Monitor published last September, the first four rounds of purges in the immediate aftermath of the failed coup reduced the number of general officers by nearly 40%. The ratio of pilots to aircraft in the Turkish Air Force was reduced from more than three pilots per plane to less than one pilot per plane.

While Al-Monitor assessed last year that it would take up to two years for the Turkish Air Force to rebuild its pilot corps, last week it appeared that two years was a gross underestimation of the time required.

Last week the US rejected a Turkish request to have Pakistani pilots fly Turkish F-16s. The request owed to the critical shortage of pilots in the Turkish Air Force.

And Erdogan continues to purge his generals. In early August he sacked the commanders of Turkish land forces and the Turkish Navy.

Given the current state of Turkish forces on the one hand, and the battlefield competence of Kurdish forces, it is clear that the balance of the two forces has never been better for the Kurds.

If Kurdistan becomes independent with US and Israeli backing and survives, the implications for the longevity of the Erdogan regime, given the rapidly expanding size of the Kurdish minority in Turkey, are significant.

Likewise for Iran, an independent Kurdistan in Iraq will serve to contain Iranian power in Syria and potentially destabilize the Iranian regime at home.

In summary then, opponents of Kurdish independence are correct. An independent Kurdistan will destabilize the region. But contrary to their claims, this is a good thing. For the first time since 2009, destabilization will benefit the US and Israel and weaken Iran and Turkey.

 A Labor Day Look at Labor 
4Hy0Nbv9qlDVFKv9f0bLgNB3r4pzLpcY0PK9zGJ-rS1bl8vv-JxnJ7sy2iicyW6uxCRdoJ_xK30-lfYAPYwt7ORT8kzS3iUV3_XYKjeie0QX6Nn0MDxTs20p0Li6Y0s=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
by Political Editors:  Labor Day is upon us, a day set aside to celebrate the American worker. In this vein, here’s a quick look at several labor-related topics.
          One: Over the years, labor unions have become increasingly politically partisan, essentially morphing into PACs for Democrats. Unions’ original cause of representing worker rights and interests has become one of propping up union bosses. With union memberships steadily dwindling to only 11% of the U.S. workforce and only 6% of current union members having ever voted for unionization, it’s time for reform. Rep. Phil Roe (R-TN) has introduced the Employee Rights Act, which would protect secret balloting, prevent members dues from being spent on anything except for collective-bargaining without a vote and provide for periodic recertification of union elections so that every employee has an opportunity to vote on whether they wish to be represented by a union.
          Two: As the economy steadily picks up steam, a problem has begun to emerge across the country: More and more employers are having difficulty finding workers. There are several factors that have contributed to this problem, including a lack of skilled workers, coupled with an unemployment rate siting at 4.4% — very close to “full” employment. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) recently introduced a bill that would help alleviate this problem by increasing the number of visas for foreign guest workers. The State-Sponsored Visa Pilot Act would allow for up to 500,000 visas to be divvied up across all 50 states. Keeping jobs and job growth in the U.S. verses companies shipping jobs overseas will benefit the economy and American workers. The issue also pits two big Democrat constituencies against each other — Big Labor and immigrants.
          Three: Unfortunately, when a tragedy happens there are those who, rather than working to help those in need, look to take advantage of the crisis. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, Big Labor decided to exploit the disaster by conducting a fundraiser with the aim of supporting … unionization efforts. Texas Organizing Project Education Fund, a pro-labor union group, launched the Hurricane Harvey Community Relief Fund, stating, “Your donation is vital to ensuring that we have the resources we need to organize and fight for Texans devastated by Hurricane Harvey.”
          Finally: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has been a staunch advocate for school choice, something the Left and teachers unions hate. DeVos has a long history of working for school choice via a voucher system in her home state of Michigan. Her early efforts there failed, but support for school choice has grown, specifically among the poor. DeVos said, “Times have continued to change and move more in favor of giving parents and students more choices, because we’ve seen consistently that too many kids are not being served in the schools to which they’ve been assigned.” And what has been the biggest obstacle to school choice? Teachers unions. Thankfully, DeVos is committed to advocating for greater freedom for students and parents.
          In any case, a happy Labor Day to those Americans taking a break from laboring today!  ~The Patriot Post

{timesofisrael.com} ~ The former head of Israel’s Military Intelligence said Sunday that the US should launch a preemptive strike against North Korea if it has the capability to do so in the wake of an apparent hydrogen bomb test by Pyongyang... However, he said he was not sure, and didn’t know if Washington was sure, whether it had the ability to do so. Maj. Gen. (res) Amos Yadlin, who also served as IDF attaché to Washington and who is currently the director of the Institute for National Security Studies, told 103FM Radio said the military option against North Korea was very complicated and risky. While he recommended that US President Donald Trump “make a preemptive strike” to prevent North Korea from continuing to develop its nuclear weapons capability, he said such a strike would require “excellent intelligence.”...  https://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-israeli-intelligence-chief-trump-should-attack-north-korea-if-he-can/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=4bcf95db06-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-4bcf95db06-54638825

 Google Censorship: Competition Beats Regulation

by Arnold Ahlert:  Despite its self-congratulatory assertions of tolerance and diversity, Google is a fraud. Moreover, many of its progressive supporters are hypocrites.
          “Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago that the left was cheering Google for firing an employee who dared to question the company’s liberal orthodoxy?” asks Investor’s Business Daily. “Now the company is getting battered by the same crowd for allegedly causing a critic to be fired from a think tank.”
          The fired employee was engineer James Damore, whose two-pronged dissent was more than the politically correct crowd could endure. In a 10-page memo entitled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” he first asserted that Google’s culture was one “which constrains discourse and is complacent to the extremely sensitive PC-authoritarians that use violence and shaming to advance their cause.” Then he committed the ultimate “sin,” suggesting it’s possible the gender gap in certain workplace positions may have to do with the difference between men and women themselves, rather than some sort of implicit bias.
          That was a bridge too far. “To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK,” explained Google CEO Sundar Pichai in a staff memo, even as an updated memo stated “that we strongly support the right of Googlers to express themselves” — unless they “cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.”
          Progressive reaction? “Even if it creates an anti-PC martyr, firing an employee who was comfortable airing his harmful bigotry is a laudable stand,” asserted Slate columnist April Glaser. “It should have been a no-brainer.”
          It was also a no-brainer to assert Damore was a “messenger for an older set of beliefs animating right-wing extremists,” as Quartz columnist Michael J. Coren insisted, or “a hero on the right-wing Internet,” as The Washington Post’s Abby Ohlheiser stated.
          In other words, anyone who violates progressive dogma is a right-wing extremist whose firing was wholly justified.
          Unfortunately for the self-righteous social justice set, Google’s disdain for dissent snared one of its own. Shortly after Washington think tank New America Foundation posted a piece on its website praising the $2.7 billion fine levied by European antitrust regulators against Google, company chairman Eric Schmidt made his displeasure known to New America president Anne-Marie Slaughter.
          Barry Lynn, director of New America’s Open Markets program, wrote the “offensive” post, asserting the EU “is protecting the free flow of information and commerce upon which all democracies depend.” He also urged “US enforcers” to “build upon this important precedent, both in respect to Google and to other dominant platform monopolists including Amazon,” explaining the “traditional American approach to network monopoly … is to cleanly separate ownership of the network from ownership of the products and services sold on that network.”
         Lynn’s post was taken down and then reposted hours later. But as The New York Times reported, “word of Mr. Schmidt’s displeasure rippled through New America,” leaving some people “concerned that Google intended to discontinue funding, while others worried whether the think tank could truly be independent if it had to worry about offending its donors.”
         They were right to worry. Last Wednesday, Slaughter informed Lynn “the time has come for Open Markets and New America to part ways,” according to an email that simultaneously asserted the firing was “in no way based on the content of your work,” while accusing Lynn of “imperiling the institution as a whole.”
          Lynn’s 10-member team initially stuck around trying to negotiate with Slaughter, but eventually got the axe as well. In a public statement disputing the Times’ story, Slaughter insisted Google did not lobby New America to expel Open Markets. Instead, she asserted, Lynn “repeatedly refused to adhere to New America’s standards of openness and institutional collegiality,” while offering no explanation for his team’s firing.
          One might be forgiven for wondering if Slaughter was influenced by the $21 million Google has bestowed on the think tank since 1999, or the fact that New America’s main conference room is called the “Eric Schmidt Ideas Lab.”
          Regardless, leftists were suddenly aghast that some of their fellow travelers could be treated like Damore and that Google’s “monopoly” should be broken up. Ultra-leftist Zephyr Teachout, who is chairing Open Markets reincarnation as an independent entity, believes Google “has established a pattern of lobbying and threatening to acquire power,” reaching a “dangerous point … where it no longer wants to allow dissent.” The New York Times followed up its original story with one entitled “Google’s Disturbing Influence Over Think Tanks,” and the Huffington Post huffed that “Google Just Proved That Monopolies Imperil Democracy, Not Just The Economy.”
          The tech giant was hardly chastened. Last Tuesday it issued an ultimatum to The Liberty Conservative (TLC), demanding that the right-leaning website either remove an article Google found offensive, or lose the ability to generate ad revenue from its site.
          The email was sent by AdSense, which acts as Google’s ad placement service, and its take on “free” speech is typically leftist: Anything deemed as “hate speech” justifies censorship. Even worse, AdSense stated the particular story was “just an example” of that violation and that “the same violations may exist on other pages of this website or other sites that you own.”
          On the TLC website Shane Trejo, media relations director of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Michigan, disputed the assertion, insisting the real reason for the warning was that the piece’s author, James Allsup, attended Charlottesville’s “Unite the Right” rally. “Although the article itself contained no offensive content,” Trejo stated, “just the fact that it was authored by a man deemed to be an ‘unperson’ by the corporate elite was enough for Google to target it for censorship.”
          Allsup is a dodgy individual. But if Trejo is correct and Google is censoring people, how long will it be before Google expands its “enemies list” of those forbidden to publish at all, irrespective of what they write?
          Should Google be subjected to antitrust statutes? The company controls 80% of the online search market and 54% of the U.S. browser market. Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon are similar behemoths, and all have made efforts to control and influence the flow of information, tilting overwhelmingly left in that regard.
          But does that make any of them monopolies? Teachout insists Google “is forming into a government of itself,” while admitting it couldn’t succeed in “entirely” silencing New Markets. The New York Post refers to “monopolists who dominate the internet” and The Week’s Ryan Cooper refers to both Google and Facebook as “platform monopolists.”
          Perhaps. Or perhaps they provide goods and services millions of people want. And for those that don’t, perhaps there’s a gargantuan opportunity for non-progressive entrepreneurs to set up alternative platforms. Better that than giving government another opportunity to put its regulatory thumb on the scale.
          Are the aforementioned corporations run by largely obnoxious, self-aggrandizing leftists? You betcha. But a free society is about competition, not censorship. Leftists would prefer the latter, now that the Wrath of Google has touched one of theirs.
          Conservatives? Censorship is easy. Free-market principles are hard.  ~The Patriot Post

Recently, Franco Berardi, the Italian author of a play in Germany, "Auschwitz on the Beach", charged Europeans with setting up "concentration camps" on its territory. One line in the performance was, "Salt water has replaced Zyklon B" -- a reference to the poison gas used by the Nazis in World War II to exterminate Jews. After protests from the Jewish community, the play was cancelled.

{
townhall.com} ~ Like 9/11, Hurricane Harvey brought us together.

In awe at the destruction 50 inches of rain did to East Texas and our fourth-largest city and in admiration as cable television showed countless hours of Texans humanely and heroically rescuing and aiding fellow Texans in the worst natural disaster in U.S. history.

On display this week was America at her best.

Yet the destruction will not soon be repaired. Nearly a third of Harris County, home to 4.5 million people, was flooded. Beaumont and Port Arthur were swamped with 2 feet of rain and put underwater.

Estimates of the initial cost to the Treasury are north of $100 billion, with some saying the down payment alone will be closer to $200 billion. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the cost of Harvey will exceed that of the Marshall Plan, which rebuilt Europe after World War II.

Though the country has appeared united since the storm hit, it is not likely to remain so. Soon, the cameras and correspondents will go home, while the shelters remain full, as tens of thousands of people in those shelters have only destroyed homes to return to.

When the waters recede, the misery of the evacuees left behind will become less tolerable. Then will come the looters and gougers and angry arguments over who's to blame and who should pay.

They have already begun. Republicans who balked at voting for the bailout billions for Chris Christie's New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the coast in 2012 are being called hypocrites for asking for swift and massive federal assistance to repair red state Texas.

And whereas George W. Bush soared to 90 percent approval after 9/11, no such surge in support for Donald Trump appears at hand.

Indeed, the sneering and sniping began on his first visit to Texas.

He failed to celebrate the first responders, they said. He failed to hug any of the victims. He failed to show empathy. First lady Melania Trump wore spiked heels boarding Marine One for Texas.

A prediction: The damage done by Harvey -- as well as the physical, psychic and political costs -- will cause many to echo the slogan of George McGovern in 1972, when he exhorted the country to "come home, America."

The nation seems more receptive now, for even before Harvey, the media seemed consumed with what ails America.

The New York and D.C. subway systems are crumbling. Puerto Rico is bankrupt. Some states, such as Illinois, cannot balance their budgets. The murder rates are soaring in Baltimore and Chicago. Congress this month will have to raise the debt ceiling by hundreds of billions and pass a budget with a deficit bloated by the cost of Harvey.

And the foreign crises seem to be coming at us, one after another.

Russia is beginning military maneuvers in the Baltic and Belarus, bordering Poland, with a force estimated by some at 100,000 troops -- Vladimir Putin's response to NATO's deployment of 4,000 troops to the Baltic States and Poland.

The U.S. is considering sending anti-tank missiles to Kiev. This could reignite the Donbass war and bring Russian intervention, the defeat of the Ukrainian army and calls for U.S. intervention.

In the teeth of Trump's threat to pour "fire and fury" on North Korea, Kim Jong Un just launched an intermediate-range ballistic missile over Japan. Trump's answer: U.S. B-1Bs make practice bombing runs near the demilitarized zone. Reports from South Korea indicate that Kim may soon conduct a sixth underground test of an atomic bomb.

War in Korea has never seemed so close since Dwight Eisenhower ended the Korean War with an armistice more than 60 years ago.

Despite the opposition of his national security team, Trump is said to be ready to repudiate the Iranian nuclear deal in October, freeing Congress to reimpose the sanctions lifted by the deal.

This would split us from our NATO allies and, if Iran ignored the new U.S. sanctions or began anew to enrich uranium, force Trump's hand. Is he, are we as a country, ready for another trillion-dollar war, with Iran, which so many inside the Beltway seem so eager to fight?

The U.S. and Turkey have urged Iraq's Kurds to put off their nonbinding referendum on independence Sept. 25. The vote seems certain to endorse a separate state. A Kurdistan, seceded from Baghdad, would be a magnet for secession-minded Kurds in Turkey, Syria and Iran, 30 million in all, and present a strategic crisis for the United States.

Along with the steady growth of entitlement spending, the new dollars demanded for defense, the prospect of new wars and the tax cuts the White House supports, Hurricane Harvey should concentrate the mind.

Great as America is, there are limits to our wealth and power, to how many global problems we can solve, to how many wars we can fight and to how many hostile powers we can confront.

The "indispensable nation" is going to have to begin making choices. Indeed, that is among the reasons Trump was elected.

OOPS! Pro-Hamas, sharia supporter Linda Sarsour caught in yet another lie

Myanmar: Muslims murder dozens of Hindu

Myanmar: Muslims murder dozens of Hindus

( Muslims do not assimilate!They infiltrate! )

The Western establishment media is portraying Muslims entirely as the victims of the violence in Myanmar. Reality is not so simple. The Rohingyas actually began this present conflict: AP reported on August 25 that “Ethnic Rohingya militants in western Myanmar launched overnight attacks on more than two dozen police and border outposts, leaving 71 people dead, the government said Friday, in a significant escalation of their armed struggle.” If they were not waging jihad against the Myanmar government and non-Muslims in the country, there would be peace.

“Dozens of Hindus Killed in Maungdaw: Relatives,” by Nyein Nyein, The Irrawaddy, September 5, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

SITTWE, Rakhine State – Eight-year-old Muni is one of the sole survivors in her Hindu family, after eight of her relatives were reportedly killed by Muslim militants one week ago in Kha Mauk Seik village, some 40 miles from downtown Maungdaw, in northern Rakhine State.

The girl had left her family to work in the home of a friend, Mina Kumari, also in Maungdaw Township, six months earlier.

Through an interpreter, Muni told The Irrawaddy on Sunday a statement that was echoed by other relatives and a Hindu community leader in Bangladesh—that she had heard her parents, grandmother, newborn brother, sisters and brothers-in-law had been killed.

One of her elder sisters is among eight women who said they were initially abducted by militants from the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), but now sheltering at a relief camp in Bangladesh’s Kutupalong District. Following ARSA attacks on 30 police outposts on Aug. 25, the Myanmar government declared the group a terrorist organization.

According to aid workers, Bangladesh is also now hosting some 87,000 self-identifying Rohingya Muslim refugees who have fled northern Rakhine State since the Myanmar Army began renewed clearance operations in Maungdaw following the ARSA attacks.

They join hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees already in the region, displaced after an earlier round of attacks in 2016.

An additional 11,700 Buddhist Arakanese, Arakanese subgroups, and Hindus have been internally displaced, with many taking shelter in monasteries in the state capital of Sittwe, and Ponnagyun and Kyauktaw townships.

Bangladesh’s The Daily Star reported on Sept. 1, that around 400 Hindus had left Rakhine State for Bangladesh and were staying at makeshift camp in Kutupalong, alongside displaced Muslims.

More than 500 Hindus are also taking refuge at four temples in Sittwe, partially supported by a government relief team, according to community leaders in Sittwe.

The Daily Star said that the displaced villagers estimated that more than 80 members of their communities in Rakhine State had been killed by unidentified armed men.

As journalists are barred from the conflict zone, The Irrawaddy spoke to religious leaders and relatives of the deceased in Sittwe.

Villagers who arrived in Sittwe on Sunday told The Irrawaddy that they believed around 70 residents of three communities—Kha Mauk Seik Taung Ywar, Kha Mauk Seik Yebaw Kyar, and Ohtein (also known as as Fakirabazar, Riktapara, and Chikonchhari respectively)—had been killed.

“The news about Kha Mauk Seik was heard on Saturday, and they are so desperate. They have no family members left to take care for them,” said U Maung Hla, the vice chairman of the Rakhine State Hindu Council, referring to 8-year-old Muni and another girl—16-year-old, Kajali, who told The Irrawaddy that since she left Maungdaw four months ago, she had lost nine relatives….

Video: Robert Spencer confronts Antifa

Video: Robert Spencer confronts Antifa

Many Americans assume that Antifa is a new group, but in reality, it is only new, or relatively new, in the United States. Back in 2011, I spoke at an outdoor rally in Stuttgart, Germany, and Antifa was out in force. Hundreds of police were there also, and if they had not been, I would not be writing this today: before I spoke, I was standing in front of the massive police phalanx with some members of the German group that had invited me; among them was a young man who I took to be one of their number until I shook his hand and smiled and he responded, “If it weren’t for all these police here, I would have knifed you by now.”

As the other speakers and I spoke, Antifa members threw rocks, bottles, and manure at us, while screaming things like “Nazis raus.” This was ironic, as they were behaving much more like Nazis than those they were screaming at. So I decided to address them. In the midst of this barrage, I stood at the front of the stage and addressed the Leftists, while they blew their vuvuzelas and booed to try to drown me out, and kept on throwing things. This is what I said:

I came from the United States of America to stand for freedom, with all free people, against the forces of oppression and darkness which you are representing.

I came here in order to stand with the people who are fighting for the freedoms that make it possible for you to do what you are doing today.

Not the violence and hatred, but to stand and dissent, but you can’t stand to have any kind of rational discussion, you can’t stand having dissent, you have to try to throw bottles, and drown us out, because you are cowards, because you know that you stand for nothing except for oppression and darkness and hatred, and that is why you are there.

And that is why I am here.

You are fronting for the most radically intolerant and hateful ideology on the planet. Everywhere in the world, everywhere in the world, where there are Muslims and non-Muslims, there is conflict because the Muslims attack the non-Muslims. The Qur’an teaches to make war against the unbelievers, and to subjugate them.

And you are already subjugated! You are already their useful idiots. You are already their tools. You are out here in their service.

And you think you’re fighting for freedom. You are fighting for your own slavery!

You are fighting for your own enslavement.

And it will come. It will come to you.

You are fighting for an ideology that denies the freedom of speech, and one day you will wish you had the freedom of speech, and one day, you will wish you had the freedom of speech that you are trying to fight against today.

You are fronting for an ideology that denies the freedom of conscience and will kill you if you disagree, which is exactly what you want to do already.

You are fighting on behalf of an ideology that denies equality of rights for women, and all the women among you will one day be enslaved, if you get what you want.

You are fighting for the destruction of all the freedoms that you enjoy.

You are fighting for the utter defeat of your own selves, and your own life.

You are slaves seeking slavery. You are the oppressed loving your oppression, and thinking that you are standing for freedom.

You are the most foolish, you are the most evil, foolish, people on Earth.

We are standing for the human rights of all people. Of the oppressed Christians in Indonesia, in Pakistan, in Egypt, in the Sudan that you just heard about.

We are standing for the oppressed people who are targeted by Islamic jihad everywhere around the world. In Israel. Everywhere around the world.

And so, in closing, I have to say: Shame on you!
