li-1.jpg?width=211As we draw closer and closer to the first primary elections of 2016, now just a month away, there are some things which must be said. Things that will rile some, anger some and distress some who purport to be on our side of this election matter.

I really don’t care if I offend them as being politically correct has never been in my wheelhouse. I don’t pander…not even to those who are either on our side or to those who pretend to be on our side.

I’m talking about low information voters.

There are far, far too many who claim Conservatism as their political ideology who are being duped, led like sheep to a slaughter and it’s high time somebody said something.

They are being led by trolls…by plants whose goal it is to disrupt and destroy any chance of a Republican victory in 2016 and their intention is clear to see…they are trying to split the vote and in desperation, since their real agenda I suspect, lies with the liberals, they are expediting their wave of nonsense before the first primary votes have been cast.

Revenge is NOT what we need...

     To say that the Trumpsters want not only to take back the country but that they want revenge is just a way to paint them as extremists. They may be in a sense, but this is just a way to shut them down. Now on the other hand, if they succeed and Trump wins, vengeful idiots fueled by their "win" would ruin before it started any plan to make this country great as the "Don" puts it... Restraint is going to be one of the most important commodities in a post Obama US... (Wow... That sounds SO good!!!)  I know very few people that I would consider intelligent enough to be called statesman worthy in their understanding of our history and government... We are falling for bluster and saber rattling and missing out on the opportunity to truly and righteously remake this nation. The constitution got us this far in its genius. All that in spite of the flaws of the characters of those lulled into the power magnet that is the US government. In the natural cycle of the rise and fall of democracies, there is a step I would rather skip if we can... I would rather not be slave to the government. I would rather shorten the process a bit and just take back that which we know to be good about this land and throw out that which we know to be bad or evil if you will... I personally lean towards returning as a nation to a 2nd Chronicles 7:14 kind of attitude but there are so many that would rebel due for the most part to their desire to continue their (In my opinion) ungodly lives and persuits unabated. I don't know where that leads us or leaves us since my belief is that without the covering and grace of a merciful Creator, we would fall in the category of  "Any other" John Adams refered to in his statement..Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”    I know that there are thousands of people out there who will be offended by this and I don't really care... They have the right to be stupid and offended and ignorant and bull-headed and childish as they desire... But if they think Trump and the possibility of revenge is the best way to handle our future, then they can have it if they win... (Almighty God forbid it!). My pitch for the president would be Scott Walker or Allen West with Fiorina as one of the possible V.P. candidates... Or maybe Walker/West or West/Walker... Any of the three in just about any order... If you can find any other posts I have put up you can find my reservations about some of the choices... Good luck finding them... I will back up anything I have to say and wear anything I have to if proven to be off the bubble... S.

Taxes, not Terrorism, can get your Passport Revoked

It is an interesting commentary on our priorities that the IRS now has the authority to revoke the passports of Americans who are in arrears by more than $50,000, but Americans travelling overseas to fight with ISIS can return safely home with passports in hand.

Hillary’s “War Against Women,” or Hillary’s “War Against Womanhood,”

By “We The People” Dec. 26, 2015

(An opinion commentary of the real or unreal life and times of HRC) .

A Master Plot of ‘Deception’ designed as a common thread among all women living in a male dominated society, and their only hope for true equality is to elect HRC President in 2016.by appealing to all women as weak pitiful victims of a male dominated society. 

Has Hillary waged war against traditional “womanhood” by characterizing all women as aggressive, progressive, unattractive, adaptation of women who seek equality with men but must depend on HER to accomplish this task. 

Hillary has created a new culture of women who deny their femininity and adapt the male persona. This has nothing to do with “sexual choice.” It has everything to do with power and control.

Most lesbian women, that I have been associated with, are proud of their lifestyle, and do not deny their womanhood, nor do they desire to be a man. Mostly, they act, dress and talk like a woman, and love like a woman, but they prefer the love of another woman, as opposed to a man. I maybe wrong in my observation, but it’s only my observation.

I do not think that Hillary could ever experience the “love” aspect of a Lesbian relationship. The same as I do not believe she could experience a “love” relationship with a man. Hillary loves “power” and nothing else. This is what turns her on. This is what drives her. This is what occupies her ever waking thoughts, and nightly dreams. Power is Hillary's destiny, to one day be the most powerful woman in the world.

Hillary has always wanted to be President since she was a young college student, and maybe even before that. Something in her upbringing, psyche, genes, or chromosomes guided along this path. When she met Bill, she found her ticket to the Whitehouse.

Hillary wanted to be the President when Bill first ran for the office. She knew that Bill had the political gravitas as Governor of Arkansas, and a special charisma and “good ol’ boy” flirtatious charm that captivated peoples attraction, especially the ladies. Hillary’s knew of Bill’s weakness for the ladies, his affairs, rendezvous, cavorting, womanizing, and worse.

She willingly overlooked and covered up these philandering, In many ways Hillary was an “enabler” for Bills sexual appetite. As long as she would look the other way, whenever Bill found a new “playmate,“ she knew he would stay married to her. And she needed Bill, if she was ever to become President. The very same analogy could be applied to Hillary, why she stayed married to Bill, knowing his sexual promiscuity.

Hillary was willing to wait her turn. But she controlled the everything from behind the scene, as the governor’s wife, and ‘first lady.’ As ‘first lady,’ Hillary established a well seasoned staff, that were totally loyal to her, and would be the advisors, deniers and liars that sacrificed themselves and careers, before ever endangering Hillary’s political career and ambitions. They knew all to well, the ruthless and brutal career and personal price they would pay for such betrayal.

Before Bill left the Whitehouse for good, Hillary and her minions planned her next power grab towards her becoming President, as becoming a Senator from New York. This would put Hillary in the political spot light, front and center, far removed from the giant shadowed, once cast by Bill. More than that, Hillary would increase her political clout and muscle, tenfold.

Many of Hillary’s most loyal and brightest staffers were women. But these ‘women’ staffers were paid a .73 cent on the dollar less, then the men staffers she employed. Something seldom if ever questioned by the media or ’feminist organizations,’ seeking to expose the purveyors of the ’war on women.’

Hillary’s loss to Barrack Obama, voluntary or involuntary was rewarded by her appointment as Secretary of State, Hillary was now in a position of even greater power, even after losing the Democratic Presidential nomination.

As SOS, Hillary expanded her power base by influence pedaling, to foreign countries. Financial support from abroad came into the Clinton Charity Foundation, and later to the Hillary For President war chest.

The dark cloud of corruption, crimes and misconduct still loom over Hillary’s head. As she is undergoing a series of investigations by Congress and the FBI, some of which have been declared criminal in nature. The outcome of these investigations is unknown. The power of the Hillary machine has long reaching tentacles that could well prevent the wheels of Justice from turning up the truth.

But the primary theme of Hillary’s Presidential Candidacy is “Women” and the ‘War being Waged on Women.” Hillary betrays herself as a ‘victim’ of the ‘war on women’ who’s primary goal is to be the first woman President, and forever more end this ‘WOW.

Many of Hillary’s campaign funds are contributions from foreign countries that treat women a chattels, subservient, obedient to men, under the penalty of law or death. The same Hillary who was willing to destroy the lives and creditability of any woman who dare lay claim to sexual misconduct by Bill. The same Bill who was impeached by Congress for lying under oath, regarding his sexual proclivity with a Whitehouse intern in the Oval Office.

Hillary’s own ‘War Against Women’ that has never been questioned, as to why she would stay married to a “womanizer,” why she would wreck the lives of other women for speaking out against sexual misconduct [of her husband], why she would blame a ’right wing conspiracy’ for her husband “Oval Office” affair with an Intern, and even more disconcerting is, why the main-steam media, Presidential Debate Moderators, or other Presidential Candidates on both sides of the Isle, refuse to ask Hillary about any of her actions that were directly responsible or contributing factors for “Waging A War Against Women,“

What is Hillary going to do with Bill, if by some cataclysmic mistake, she does become President in 2016?  Will Bill be the "Under Secretary of Intern Development?" Will Bill have any female staff members to set his daily schedule as 'first husband?"  I wonder which reporter will have enough courage to ask this legitimate question at a Hillary press conference?

One only needs to connect the dots of lies, scandals and deceptions connected to her as SOS. Now she is the highly favored Democratic Presidential Candidate running against a self acclaimed ’Socialist’ and a Maryland Governor, who’s most notoriously know for ’taxing rainwater that fell on the roofs of Maryland taxpayer’s homes. Even after he declared that all the water in Maryland was State owned.

The Hedonist Left Doesn't Care If You Get AIDS

Just in case there was any lingering doubt that Planned Parenthood doesn’t give a hoot about “women’s health”—or anyone’s health, for that matter—the abortion giant is now on record favoring the “right” of HIV-positive people not to disclose their status to sex partners.

From their pamphlet, the ironically titled “Happy, Healthy, and Hot”: “Your decision about whether to disclose may change with different people and situations. You have the right to decide if, when, and how to disclose your HIV status.”

Surely the pamphlet only means friends and co-workers though, right? Actually, no. The pamphlet continues: “Some countries have laws that say people living with HIV must tell their sexual partner(s) about their status before having sex, even if they use condoms or only engage in sexual activity with a low risk of giving HIV to someone else. These laws violate the rights of people living with HIV by forcing them to disclose or face the possibility of criminal charges.” The pamphlet then encourages the reader to get involved to change such laws “that violate your rights.”

So basically Planned Parenthood is encouraging people to pull a Charlie Sheen; or at least condoning it. The renowned actor revealed in November that he had known for about four years that he is HIV positive, though he claimed that he always informed his sex partners of his status, with “no exceptions.” This came as something of a surprise to Bree Olson, Sheen’s former live-in girlfriend, who thankfully tested negative. She claims that they had sex almost daily for about a year using lambskin condoms, at his insistence, which are not effective protection against HIV.

“He doesn’t even value my life,” said Olson about Sheen’s revelation. No kidding, cupcake.

Her only purpose was to serve his pleasure. If she had to die so that he could get his rocks off, that was, in Sheen’s calculation, a price worth paying. The fact that Olson has been in almost three hundred pornographic films indicates that she may not care that much about her own health and safety though Olson left the business in 2010 and has advised other women not to get involved. Perhaps she was just naïve when she got started in porn and has since had an epiphany.

It’s hard to believe that such selfish people as Charlie Sheen really exist but they do and they’re actually a lot more common than you might imagine. The fact that Planned Parenthood, which masquerades as a reputable medical organization, endorses the “right” not to inform sex partners of HIV status tells us that the camel has already gotten its nose under the tent. Though the attitude may not yet be mainstream, that doesn’t mean it could never be.

The author and journalist Randy Shilts, who died of AIDS in 1994, shed light on the homosexual community’s culture of denial in his 1987 book “And the Band Played On”. Among Shilts’s premises is that homosexual political leaders talked a great game when it came to combatting AIDS but their action was lacking. They refused to consider any countermeasure to the AIDS “epidemic” that might hamper their sex lives. The most they would do is promote the use of condoms. They refused to speak out against the hookup culture that pervaded and continues to pervade the male homosexual community or, heaven forbid, to tell male homosexuals to keep their butt cheeks together. They were even squeamish about identifying male homosexuals as the primary “at risk” group, preferring instead to shotgun blast their preventative message, as impoverished as it was, to the public as a whole. The message might have had more impact if it had been aimed somewhere but that would have meant identifying a demographic group and addressing the specific high-risk behaviors that made that community unique—something they were entirely unwilling to do.

One can almost understand the rationale behind this kind of reckless denialism. The disease was discovered in 1981, just a few short years after male homosexuals had established sexually “liberated” enclaves in places like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. They had just escaped the moral condemnation of their conservative parents and they weren’t about to give up their newfound “freedom” for anything, even if the new objection to their sexual habits was medical rather than moral. Any finger-wagging prude caught preaching that jive was not welcome at their never-ending orgy.

In the mid-1980s, the author David Horowitz, who was then on a journey from the Marxist Left to conservative Right, sat down with Randy Shilts to discuss AIDS, the burgeoning menace then stalking San Francisco. What Shilts told him was shocking. As Horowitz wrote in his biography, “Radical Son”: “According to Shilts, it was the gay leaders themselves who suppressed the research findings, along with the fact—now generally accepted by medical officials—that AIDS was a sexually transmitted disease. This was difficult to believe, but when I checked Shilts’s story, it turned out to be true. The Stonewall Gay Democratic Club, one of the political powers in the community, had summarized the politically correct view prevailing among activists in a slogan: ‘Sex doesn’t cause AIDS—a virus does.’ The activists were afraid that identifying the disease with promiscuous sex and also with gay sex—95 percent of the cases in San Francisco were among homosexual males—would stigmatize the ‘gay life-style’ and create a political backlash.”

Yeah, and we wouldn’t want to stigmatize the “gay” lifestyle, would we? I don’t know what’s wrong with stigmatizing a filthy sexual practice rife with adverse health consequences, including AIDS of course, but also gonorrhea, anal cancer, and intestinal parasites. We stigmatize smoking, why wouldn’t we stigmatize anal sex? Put me down as pro-stigma.

Unfortunately, male homosexuals whine that their rights are being violated whenever anyone looks askance at butt sex, the activity that apparently defines them. They demand not only the right to engage in dangerous, unhealthy sexual behavior, but the right to positive affirmation as well.

Sadly, the medical community seems to be fulfilling their wish. Doctors these days live in fear that their careers will be summarily ended if they advise against anal sodomy—which is pretty good medical advice, no matter how you slice it. To cite just one example, consider Dr. Paul Church, a well-respected urologist who was recently fired from his position at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston for opposing the homosexual lifestyle on moral and medical grounds. His story began in 2009 when BIDMC sent out an email inviting staff members to ride on the hospital-sponsored float in an upcoming “pride” parade. Dr. Church responded with a mass email of his own, asking why a hospital would endorse a behavior with undeniable health consequences that include death. “If a medical scientist cannot raise research that the federal government’s Centers for Disease Control clearly shows homosexual conduct as harmful,” he concluded, “then that means that your health, my health, medical science — all of that is being called into question simply because of a political agenda.”

He was right, of course, though it’s dangerous to be right when your employer is wrong. The torrent of homosexual outrage came down on Dr. Church hard. After a lengthy fight with BIDMC, he lost his job. He may lose his positions at other Boston-area medical centers, including Harvard Medical School, where he also practices medicine.

Church was essentially fired for being a good doctor, for staying true to the Hippocratic Oath he took to “do no harm” at a time when all the other doctors around him had abandoned theirs. “Truly caring for the well-being of individuals requires telling them the truth about their choices,” said Church. “The hospital does this on less controversial issues such as smoking and diet.” Yes, that’s true, but smokers and fat people don’t have well-financed and well-organized political apparatuses and they don’t crush people who get in their way. That’s the difference.

The homofascists had to make an example out of somebody and they chose Dr. Church. The chilling effect will be felt far and wide—no one will dare point out that homosexuals are perverting medicine’s core mission, though they plainly are.

We’re living in an era of hedonism, in which a substantial portion of the population careens from disco to disco and from orgasm to orgasm. Not all such hedonists are homosexuals, of course—there is always the occasional Charlie Sheen—but a significant number of them are. There is nothing they won’t do just to keep the good times rolling. They don’t care about other people’s health or safety, nor do they care about facts or truth. They care only about their own pleasure and they will stop at nothing to secure it.

And so this is Christmas........We are all busy opening gifts, watching Christmas Specials on the Boob Tube, playing video games on the "You" Tube, bending our elbows to wish everyone health, wealth and happiness, and stuffing our faces with holiday yummies, while loosening our belts to accommodate our expanding waistlines.

But wait.......while we are engrossed in diversionary Holiday fare and festivities, the Lords and Ladies who run our lives are engrossed in War Strategy - yes, we are all in a war; a war of the Global Elite against us - the Humans. Of course, they don't believe they are Humans; they believe they are a separate species, meant to rule over us and make decisions for us - for you see, we are beneath them; they belong to the future Breakaway Civilization, we are yesterday's news, doomed to the ash heap of spent resources.

Here's the latest battle in the War Against Humanity - "Social Credit".......

As we speak, the Chinese have a new internet game called Sesame Credit - how cute and loving and trendy! Just like Sesame Street, right? Wrong - more like "open says me". Open up your lives to the scrutiny of the government and international corporations that rule over you.

It works similar to Financial Credit that we know and "love". In the U.S. if your financial credit score is 700-749 you have Good credit and are eligible for the "goodies" - mortgages, credit cards, auto leases, rentals, etc. If your score is 750+, the sky is the limit; you not only get the aforementioned goodies, but you get the Prime deals, and have all the credit Vampires running after you and begging for your biz. However, the lower your score, the less inclined are the Vampires to seek you out; if your score is too low, say hovering in the 500s, you are road kill.

Well, with Social Credit, albeit a game (if you believe that I have a bridge I want to sell you), the government and corporations get to determine how "worthy" you are as a member of Society. Do you get a job? Do you rent an apartment? Do you belong to a Club? What school do you get to go to? What type of career do you get to be part of? Who do you get to socialize with? Do you really think you should be driving that model car?

The Chinese, with the help of social media "hero" Mark Zuckerberg (yes, Mr. Facebook himself), have come up with this new weapon in the War Against Humanity. It's being rolled out now over there, and is scheduled to be mandatory in China by 2020. Now, you know in a year or two, the social engineering geniuses over here will think this is the best thing since sliced bread; after all, Zuckerberg isn't exactly Chinese. So get ready for a further tightening of the noose around your necks.

If you think you're being henpecked into submission now, you ain't seen nothin' yet. This is one we can get a jump on before the lasso gets thrown around us. Look into this, get pro-active about stopping this before it begins, let people know about this, be the Paul Reveres in your communities - sound the alarms.

Change coming?

As we saw Paul Ryan double crossed the Tea Party-Conservative(TPC) "party" I feel like the Republicans & Tea Party-Conservatives are gonna split soon. I know the Republicans would rather see Hillary get President than a few of the Republican hopefuls. If you leave the Party & become Independent or join another party we have got to stay strong in supporting these candidates. I would really wish that nobody leaves the party so the TPC's can choose the candidate we need to lead this Country back on track.

 HILLY’S HOLE CARD 
For Hilly Clinton, her current general-election strategy is so simple it can be summed up in just two words: Donald Trump. Even if she’s not lucky enough to draw him in a head-to-head matchup, Clinton will work to make her opponent little more than Trump-lite. That’s what Justin Barasky of the Clinton-backing powerhouse super PAC Priorities USA sees ahead once she’s head to head with the Republican nominee, whoever it may be. In the latest edition of Power Play, Barasky tells Chris Stirewalt that Republicans are “painting themselves” as Trump-like and the result will be terrifying to key groups of the Obama coalition that Clinton is looking to reconstitute and ride to the White House. WATCH HERE.  -Fox News

No doubt this foreshadows what will be in all likelihood a major line of attack from the Republicans and stands to really hurt her going forward.”   -Fox News

 ISIS Justifies Rape, Slavery of Yazidi Girls  

{Natalie Myers} ~ Recently, a video showing ISIS fighters violently taking young girls and women away from their families to be the fighters’ sex slaves was released by Yazidi activists... The video shows what appears to be women and young girls screaming in terror as the fighters aggressively pull them away from their loved ones, as the men try to hold onto their wives and daughters to protect them. This heartbreaking video comes after Sky News recently revealed the underground captivity areas where Yazidi sex slaves are kept. Based on this video, it appears that many sex slaves are kept in filthy underground bunkers surrounded by rubble. Yazidi sex slaves who have managed to escape from ISIS have told of the horrors that occur when captured.        http://punchingbagpost.com/isis-justifies-rape-slavery-of-yazidi-girls

 Syrian – Radical, Potential Terrorist Entitlement And Open N. of US 
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Video of what is described as “The first group of Syrian refugees to head out for a new life in Canada” shows family units from Jordan who were being given the VIP photo-op prop treatment by the libtard Canadian government... Canada’s Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, John McCallum was on hand for theoccasion, promising that this was just the beginning, with a goal of importing 50,000 of the unvetted foreign terrorist candidates into Canada by the end of 2016. What a great opportunity for spreading jihad to the infidels of North America the ignorant Canadians are offering. Not only are they endangering their own lives but our border is largely open between Canada and the United States. We’ll certainly be visited by the consequences of their recklessness as well. One of the “refugees” was interviewed, with the entitlement chip on his shoulder clearly exposed and a question as to how anyone who had any discretion could have allowed this new perpetual problem in the making to immigrate.

 nObama Admin: Crackdown on Terror Will Violate Iran Deal  
‘Iran Czar’ tells Congress nuke deal prohibits congress from restricting terrorist visas
{Adam Kredo} ~ Senior nObama administration officials are expressing concern that congressional attempts to tighten laws preventing terrorists from entering the United States could violate the Iran nuclear agreement and prompt Tehran to walk away from the agreement... Congress is considering measures that would tighten the Visa Waiver Program to make it harder for potential terrorists to legally enter the United States by increasing restrictions on individuals who have travelled to countries with prominent terrorist organizations from bypassing security checks upon entering the United States. Iranian officials have in recent days repeatedly issued threatening statements to the nObama administration, saying that such moves would violate the nuclear agreement, and the nObama administration last week conveyed the Iranian anger to American lawmakers. This is no deal, it's twisting of arms.

Every issue that Republicans appeared to have taken a stand on during the year was sacrificed in the interest of keeping our dictator and their common financial interests and puppeteers happy and satisfied. The false nonexistent threat of being accused of shutting down the government was once again played to perfection. Shut it down, McCon-nell. We’d be much better off and could possibly get a handle on the mess you’re making in the meantime. He and turncoat-Ryan financed the wide range of reckless spending detailed here, in a total sellout of the American people. McCon-nell and turncoat-Ryan are playing politics, passing bills that nObama will never sign as a cover and throwing away the only power they had to force compliance by the rogue executive branch, the power of the purse. Now nObama has every cent he needs to complete his anti-American agenda and we, the people, aside from impeachment or arresting him for treason have little we can do to stop him. I wonder how these elected officials sleep at night...

 Closing Guantanamo Bay Will Only Empower Our Enemies  
{Andrew McCarthy} ~ There are 107 jihadists remaining at Guantanamo Bay. President nObama sees that as a huge problem and, for once, I agree with him. But there the agreement ends... The president is hell bent on shuttering the detention camp. I think the problem is that there are only 107 detainees. Heading into his eighth year as commander-in-chief, nObama seems increasingly detached – inevitably so, as reality relentlessly distances itself from the president’s fantasies about Islam and terrorism. Impervious to the bitter irony, the president waxed idiotic at his final White House press conference of 2015 about the need to close Gitmo – and about his imminent release of 17 jihadists to speed that process along – while the engines revved up to jet him to San Bernardino, Calif. There, he’ll find time for a quickie meeting with family members in mourning after the jihadist mass-murder of their loved ones two weeks ago.

 hanoi-Kerry tells Iran congress visa requirements will be waived  
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ The Ayatollah and his terrorists needn't worry, John Forbes hanoi-Kerry and Barack Hussein nObama have their back... The nObama administration, pushing to support international trade with Iran, has advised the country’s rulers not to worry about new U.S. legislation that clamps visa restrictions on people who have traveled to Iran. Iranian officials have publicly complained the new U.S. rules will unfairly target travelers who visit Iran and could dampen investment interest in their country. Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry wrote his Iranian counterpart on Saturday to assure him the visa changes approved by Congress last week won’t undermine business opportunities in Iran or violate the terms of the nuclear agreement between global powers and Tehran in July. Mr. hanoi-Kerry said the administration was exploring ways to ensure visitors to Iran aren’t unfairly blocked from entering the U.S. ISIS is welcome now, thanks in-part to this administration.     http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/261196/kerry-tells-iran-congress-visa-requirements-will-daniel-greenfield

 Muslim Migrants Live in 'Parallel Societies' Where Rules Don't Apply 
{Tiffany Gabbay} ~ Germany's obsession with multiculturalism and ultra-liberal immigration policy has landed the country in hot water on more than one occasion... Even Chancellor Angela Merkel has publicly declared that multiculturalism is a "lie" and that the country's best efforts to integrate its Muslim immigrants has utterly "failed." Echoing this long overdue epiphany, Germany's high profile police commissioner has spoken out harshly over the her country's migrant population, which she asserts harasses her officers and proudly announce it will "sh*t on Germany." What's more, the commissioner explains that anyone who speaks out against the migrants are labeled a "Nazi." Despite being of a migrant background herself, commissioner Tania Kambouri has not been shy in her criticism of the failures of the integration process in Germany which is making life difficult for police, as they are harassed and even ganged up on by migrant men. Thats how its going to be right here in America. It has already stated.      http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/german-police-commissioner-speaks-out-muslim-migrants-live-parallel-societies-where-rules-dont

 Cheer up, nObama’s legacy can be erased  
{Phil Gramm, Mike Solon} ~ President nObama seems to aspire to join Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan as one of the three most transformative presidents of the past hundred years, and by all outward signs he has achieved that goal... But while Roosevelt and Reagan sold their programs to the American people and enacted them with bipartisan support, Mr. nObama jammed his partisan agenda down the public’s throat. The nObama legacy is built on executive orders, regulations and agency actions that can be overturned using the same authority Mr. nObama employed to put them in place. An array of President nObama’s policies—changing immigration law, blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, the Iranian nuclear agreement and the normalization of relations with Cuba, among others—were implemented exclusively through executive action. Because any president is free “to revoke, modify or supersede his own orders or those issued by a predecessor,” as the Congressional Research Service puts it, a Republican president could overturn every nObama executive action the moment after taking the oath of office. At the beginning of the inaugural address, the new president could sign an executive order rescinding all of Mr. nObama’s executive orders deemed harmful to economic growth or constitutionally suspect. The new president could then establish a blue-ribbon commission to review all other nObama executive orders. Any order not reissued or amended in 60 days could be automatically rescinded.

 New evidence reinforces CAIR's Islamist history 
{Steve Emerson and Pete Hoekstra} ~ Since its founding in 1994, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been nothing more than a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood...  Recently, CAIR once again tried to hide this truth by casting a new lie about its radical Islamist history, saying that its relationship with the Hamas terror network was “put to rest by the Department of Justice in 2011 and now exists as an Internet story.” Not true. The FBI policy of dissociation with CAIR over open questions related to its terrorist connections remains in effect, and it publicly reaffirmed so in 2013. No possibility exists to “put to rest” records admitted into evidence. The episode is only the latest reinforcement of what the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) and law enforcement have known for 20 years. CAIR and its ilk are nothing more than front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/new-evidence-reinforces-cairs-islamist-history/

 The Muslim Prospective on Radical Islam - the Real Story  
{Joe A. Gilbertson} ~ The nObama Administration has consistently defended Muslims by saying most of them strongly oppose radical Islam... “An overwhelming majority of Muslims reject that interpretation of Islam. It’s very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9% of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we are looking for,” said Barack nObama, President of the United States. However, Mr. nObama has not done his research. Instead, he, along with thousands of others, has been more concerned with political correctness and religious liberty. Pew Research recently released chilling data that proves that that 99.9% is not even close to accurate. Today, there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and this number climbs daily. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and as reported by Pew Research, it will surpass Christianity during this century.       http://punchingbagpost.com/the-muslim-prospective-on-radical-islam---the-real-story

Vetting nObama’s Witless Vetters at DHS

{freedomsback.com} ~ Gaping holes in the K1 fiance visa interview process. Reckless bans on scrutinizing visa applicants’ social media posts. Ignored alarms over marriage fraud. New details keep seeping out about all the “red flags” nObama’s immigration officials missed in the case of the San Bernardino jihadists.
.
Color me unshocked.
.
The American public and Capitol Hill politicians should have been more vigilant about vetting nObama’s vetters in the first place. What do you expect when you put crony know-nothings, political hacks and identity politics zealots in charge of our safety?
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), nObama campaign finance bundler Jeh Johnson snagged the top DHS post two years ago thanks to Harry dinky-Reid’s rigging of Senate filibuster rules. Johnson’s a “diversity” relic from the Clinton era with zero experience in border security, port security, airport security or immigration enforcement. So what is main qualification for overseeing the $40 billion, 240,000-employee homeland security bureaucracy? Besides dumping gobs of money into nObama’s coffers, he’s the “first African-American” to hold the job, as the White House trumpeted.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), DHS undersecretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the No. 2 in charge of the department, was also a beneficiary of dinky-Reid’s lowered nomination standards. Like Johnson, Mayorkas was an nObama bundler early and often. He slithered into the job in 2013 while still under investigation by the DHS inspector general for his role in facilitating EB-5 foreign investor visa scams over the vehement objections of homeland security staff.
.
As my co-author John Miano and I point out in our new book, “Sold Out,” on systemic visa corruption, federal investigators interviewed more than 15 whistleblowers ranging from rank-and-file employees to several senior managers in California and at the D.C. headquarters who accused Mayorkas of bestowing both preferential access and preferential treatment to politically connected EB-5 applicants and stakeholders. They detailed how Mayorkas “created special processes and revised existing policies in the EB-5 program to accommodate specific parties” while serving as director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
.
“Their allegations were unequivocal,” the inspector general concluded, and the corruption under Mayorkas was systemic.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), DHS Assistant Secretary, Office for State and Local Law Enforcement Heather Fong abandoned her post as San Francisco police chief amid widespread disgust with her weak leadership and obstinate refusal to cooperate with the feds on enforcing immigration laws.
.
That’s right. A zealous advocate of sanctuary city policies, Fong now oversees outreach to nearly 18,000 state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement agencies nationwide. This enforcement obstructionist is in charge of terrorism prevention policies and coordination and distribution of intelligence between DHS and localities. Her main qualifications? Being the first woman and Asian-American to lead the SFPD, whose rank-and-file despised her.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Assistant Secretary for International Affairs and Chief Diplomatic Office Alan Bersin was implicated in a scheme to manipulate the DHS hiring process to try and secure jobs for at least three political cronies who worked with Bersin on the nObama 2008 campaign, according to the Office of Special Counsel. Two of those pals did not even meet “the minimum qualification requirements for their respective career positions,” OSC’s complaint noted, because they lacked at least one year of relevant experience.
.
Bersin moved up the DHS ladder; a lower-level scapegoat was exonerated in court; and a key figure in the patronage plot was allowed to retire.
.
In case you’d forgotten (or never paid attention), Secretary Johnson hired his DHS chief of staff Christian Marrone without bothering to read the longtime Pennsylvania Democratic operative’s background security check. Marrone was a top aide to slimeball Philadelphia power broker Vincent Fumo, who was convicted of 137 federal corruption charges in 2009.
.
As the Washington Times reported, Marrone “admitted in court to collecting a taxpayer salary while supervising the senator’s private home renovations, hiring a private eye to dig up dirt on a political rival and serving as president of a company that used nonprofit urban revitalization money for a for-profit venture.” At trial, Marrone acknowledged doing Fumo’s rotten bidding because “that was the culture at the office … there were no boundaries.”
.
Marrone walked away after claiming he was a victim. And now, this go-along, get-along toady willing to violate the law to please a boss serves as Johnson’s right-hand man and the No. 3 official at DHS.
.
These hacks won’t even vet each other. They place “optics,” “diversity” and political protectionism above national security. Forget the red flags over San Bernardino. It’s the giant white flag of surrender waving over DHS that’s the real threat to our well-being.

Politics and Christmas Past

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on americanpbn.com

chr-1.jpg?width=224It is difficult to escape the political undertow in today’s world. Politics is in play in everything we do, from our daily routines to events half way around the world. Our schools, our streets and roads…regulations imposed on everything from our businesses to the water we drink…wars, conflicts, diplomatic relations with nations both friend and foe…we can’t get up in the morning, proceed with our daily business or go to bed at night without political interference.

This time of the year, we do our best to ignore, to whatever extent possible, the world of politics in favor of time-honored traditions that revolve around Christmas or Chanukah, but we should not forget the role of politics IN Christmas…the first Christmas to be precise.

Just as the death of Jesus on the cross was politically motivated, so too was his birth.

While the scriptures reveal that Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes, the truth goes politically deeper than that.

Clinton's Potty Break Interrupted by Demo 'Debate'  
Roughly 99.99% of Americans missed the fact that there was a Democrat presidential debate Saturday night. It's painfully obvious that the Democratic National Committee is protecting Hilly Clinton by scheduling debates when no one will be watching because they're out last-chance Christmas shopping and at the movies for opening weekend of Star Wars. So Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley can be forgiven for complaining. The party, which was once a raucous bunch that reveled in the old Will Rogers line — "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." — is now bending over backwards to make sure Hilly's path to coronation is not blocked again. Even if she's late back to the stage after a bathroom break.
          Naturally, there weren't many highlights. Whereas Republicans are engaged in a spirited debate about immigration, foreign policy and NSA surveillance, the three Democrats on stage Saturday offered nothing but leftist platitudes primarily on national security. They seek to gently criticize the atrocious state of affairs (under Barack nObama's leadership, they'd rather you didn't notice) while reminding viewers that Republicans are just plain terrible people. 
          Since Clinton will be the nominee, we'll focus on her with three low lights. An example of the lightly treading around nObama's failures was Clinton's reference to "glitches" in nObamaCare — like skyrocketing premiums and deductibles. She's fix that, though, she promises. On Syria and the Islamic State, she said, "We now finally are where we need to be." Famous last words that will show up in many a Republican campaign ad. And on Republicans and the Islamic State, she insisted that the GOP frontrunner "is becoming ISIS's best recruiter." She explained, "They are going to people showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims in order to recruit more radical jihadists." Then again, Clinton doesn't have a great track record blaming videos for trouble in the Middle East.
          All in all, you were better to finish that Christmas shopping than to sit through the Democrat drivel.

 nObama Blames Cable News For Terrorism Concern  
It was a vignette that the nObama administration didn't want The New York Times to publish. Barack nObama held an off-the-record meeting with journalists last week to explain his antiterrorism strategy and the ground rule was that anything nObama said could not be attributed to him. It was a way for nObama to mold the media into a more forceful propaganda arm for his agenda. Initially, the Times wasn't going to play the commander in chief's political game. In an article originally published Thursday evening, the Times wrote, "In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. nObama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a lot, he said." You don't hear nObama complaining how the media has distorted gun culture in this nation, but he defended his antiterrorism policies by blaming criticism of his strategies on the media and stupid Americans.
          Later that night, as The Federalist reported, the editors did not stand up to the executive branch like the time it published the Pentagon Papers. Instead, it deleted the telling paragraph and inserted a paragraph of administration catch phrases. Commentator Charles Krauthammer said of nObama's statement, "This is his usual professorial condescension." Over the weekend, nObama doubled down on his assertion, telling NPR the media has been hyping the Islamic State: "All you have been hearing about is these guys with masks or black flags who are potentially coming to get you." As for the citizens of this nation worried about security, let them eat cake.  -The Patriot Post

 Court Rules Against School That Didn't Hire Homosexual  
A judge in Massachusetts severely restricted the ability of religious organizations to fulfill their missions when he ruled that a Catholic school was guilty of discrimination for rescinding its job offer to a man later discovered to be homosexual. Matthew Barrett interviewed for the position of director of food services at Fontbonne Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, in 2013 and he was offered the job. But when he listed his husband as his emergency contact, the school rescinded his offer.
          Judge Douglas H. Wilkins ruled the academy was guilty of discrimination, despite the school arguing that Barrett's lifestyle was inconsistent with its teachings. As the school's lawyer told Boston's ABC affiliate WCVB, teaching doesn't occur just outside the classroom, and Barrett's employment would conflict with what is taught in the theology classroom. "As an educational institution, Fontbonne retains control over its mission and message," Wilkins wrote. "It is not forced to allow Barrett to dilute that message, where he will not be a teacher, minister or spokesperson for Fontbonne and has not engaged in public advocacy of same-sex marriage."
          Furthermore, the judge ruled that the school could have ​been exempt from the state’s discrimination laws​ if ​the school only ​taught ​girls who believed the same things as the school. In making this ruling, the judge from the first state to legalize same-sex marriage is standing directly against Christian institutions charged with going into all the world to heal the sick, visit those in prison and feed the hungry. Using this same thinking, it's not much of a stretch for the state to force Christian hospitals to perform gender-reassignment surgery, or perform abortions.   -The Patriot Post

 Nonjudgmental Absurdity  
It's been a slow year for the Christmas bashing that's become rather routine at the Capitol rotunda in Tallahassee, Florida. Pam Olsen, president of the Florida Prayer Network, the group that has provided a Nativity scene there for the last two years, is taking a pass. "After much prayer, I truly want the message of Christ, The Son of God, born in a manger so long ago in Bethlehem, to be heard very clearly at this difficult time, instead of the dissension in the Capitol rotunda — this is not the year for that kind of debate in our rotunda," Olsen said in an open letter.
          The "debate" to which Olsen refers has been the recent effort to turn the rotunda into a citadel of competing displays, that mostly illuminate the determination of those who can't stand to see Christians enjoying themselves during the holidays. It is coupled with the timidity of public officials cowed by political correctness. Political correctness that demands equal respect for the sacred and the profane.
          Thus in 2014, for the sake of "balance," the rotunda sported a protest display from the Satanic Temple. It featured an angel falling into a pit of fire. "There's no significance to it; it's just a display that we put up to counteract the Nativity scene," explained Satanic Temple member John Porgal at the time. "It's all or none, and this represents the other side of the manger scene."
          All or none also included a six-foot pole comprised of beer cans celebrating "Festivus," a fictitious holiday spawned by the sitcom "Seinfeld." Other atheist banners, including a display from the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" whose followers are known as "Pastafarians," were also part of the mix.    -The Patriot Post

 Tea Party Declares WAR on Speaker Paul turncoat-Ryan  
{teaparty.org} ~ Last October, America’s Tea Party and Conservative movement made a decision to trust Congressman Paul turncoat-Ryan with the most powerful position in the House of Representative’s, that being the coveted position of Speaker of the House... turncoat-Ryan promised to adhere to conservative values and govern from a perspective of smaller government, less spending, lower taxes and American security would be paramount for his agenda’s. As all of you have heard, Speaker turncoat-Ryan did not just break his pledge to conservatism, he Baptized his role as Speaker with nothing short of liberal holy water. I won’t rehash what all is in this behemoth $1.2 Trillion dollar spending monstrosity, but for conversation purposes, just know that it funds everything that slaps conservatism in the face and spit’s on Tea Party values. If nObama’s spending wasn’t bad enough, this Omnibus spending bill also funds those cities which harbor illegal aliens and much, much more that is surely to hack off those of us that love our nation. If this Omnibus bill is any sort of indication of the way Speaker turncoat-Ryan is going to govern, it is time to do what “Barney Fife” told us to do so many years ago, “NIP-IT, NIP-IT” in the bud now!        http://www.teaparty.org/tea-party-declares-war-speaker-paul-ryan-135422/

 Hilly LIES about how much support she gets from Wall Street  
{soopermexican} ~ So there were a whole lot of lies being told at the Democrat Debate tonight, but one of the bigger ones was when Hilly deflected Bernie Sanders’ attack on her support from Wall Street... Her response was very Clintonian – in that it was a lie: Trying to downplay her Wall Street ties, Clinton said about 3 percent of her donations come from “people in the finance and investment world,” and invited viewers to check opensecrets.org, the Center for Responsive Politics’ website. We did, and it shows that her campaign and the super PAC supporting her received $5.7 million from the securities and investments industry, out of $97.8 million total. That’s almost 6 percent. It’s closer to 3 percent if you only count fundraising by her official campaign. But in the context of a clash with Sanders, who pointed out he doesn’t have an allied super PAC, it’s misleading to overlook hers.

 Supreme Court Ignores Gun Rights…Again  
{Robert Chambers} ~ The Second Amendment is on trial every moment of every day in this country and the obstacles to keeping it in place are getting worse... The Supreme Court rejected an appeal earlier this month that came from gun owners trying to challenge the ban of assault weapons in a the Chicago suburb, Highland Park. The appeal, filed by the Illinois State Rifle Association, argues against the ban by citing a violation of constitutional rights. The Supreme Court is claiming that it is in response to the San Bernardino shooting. Two conservative justices said that they would have both heard the case and struck down the suburb’s ban. The federal appeals court in Chicago upheld the ban on semi-automatic weapons and large capacity magazines.

 It's time for the Democrats to speak up on national security  
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Democrats hold their third presidential debate Saturday evening in Manchester, New Hampshire...  Until now, the Democratic candidates have spent far less time than their Republican counterparts discussing foreign policy and national security issues, both in the debates and on the campaign trail. The last Democratic debate took place just one day after Islamic terrorists gunned down 129 people in Paris. This prompted moderators to ask the candidates more questions than originally planned about foreign policy and terrorism. But as the Washington Examiner's Byron York pointed out, the candidates mostly just touched on security matters before pivoting to issues related to the economy and other domestic matters. It's easy to see why. Democratic voters are less concerned than Republicans about national security. York cites a New Hampshire town hall meeting at which Democratic primary voters seemed more interested in domestic issues such as genetically-modified food and student loans than where the candidates stand on foreign affairs and terrorism.        http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/its-time-for-the-democrats-to-speak-up-on-national-security/article/2578764?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI%20-%2012/19/15&utm_medium=email

 nObama’s Syrian Secret Weapon – Eating Zombie Disease 
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Scabies and hepatitis weren’t enough to stop the illegal alien hordes crossing our southern border. The Customs and Border Patrol agents were told by DHS to just “deal with it,” and take it home to their families if that is how things worked out... The Ebola threat from African foreigners to American citizens and anyone else in the country was also not enough of a concern to restrict travel. We Americans are just supposed to accept whatever threat is out there as well as the refusal of our hijacked, non-representative government to act in the interests of our security.  We’re on our own. Now another threat is emerging, a perfect complement to the nObama regime’s terrorist import program. Those posing a danger to us now do not even need to harbor bad intentions. They simply need to have been bitten by the wrong sand fly and be approved to move to America and we’re at risk. The infection is particularly dangerous and ominous in nature, a potentially fatal flesh-eating disease that manifests itself in three different forms. The hot spot of the infection is nObama’s breeding and recruiting ground for future Islamic “Americans,” Syria.

 Omnibus Passing Opens Door for Paul turncoat-Ryan Criticism  
{Natalie Myers} ~ It is not often that the Democratic party praises someone from its opposition, but this week, nObama openly praised Republican Speaker, Paul turncoat-Ryan for doing his part to avoid a government shutdown... nObama praised former Speaker John backstabber-Boehner for raising spending levels before leaving office and making way for turncoat-Ryan, whom according to nObama, did his part to negotiate with the Democrats to pass the Omnibus bill. nObama called the passing of Omnibus as a win for his administration, predicting the last year of his presidency will also see more success for items on his agenda, although he admits he will still have some unfinished business when he leaves office.

 The segregation we don’t talk about enough

A recent report from Pew Research Center suggests that there has been an increase in residential segregation by income over the past three decades in the United States... The data show that between 1980 and 2010, there has been an increase in the share of lower-income households located in a majority lower-income census tract, and an increase in the share of upper-income households located in a majority upper-income census tract. This finding is corroborated by another study for the period 1970 to 2000 which uses a new measure of income sorting.

The trends of segregation by race are less clear. A recent National Bureau of Economic Research paper using a new methodology to capture racial segregation, finds that, across almost every region of the country, the likelihood of a black family having an opposite-race neighbor declined by more than 15 percentage points between 1880 and 1940. Other studies using traditional segregation measures and more recent data, typically suggest that racial segregation may have declined marginally in recent times, but still remains relatively stark in many metropolitan areas in the South, Northeast and Midwest, where a vast majority of blacks reside. Blacks more likely to live in concentrated poverty.

 An Israeli Gas Pipeline to Turkey? Bad Idea  
{Daniel Pipes} ~ The two states enjoyed close relations in the 1990s, when a common world outlook led to a strong military bond, growing trade, and exchanges of people and culture...  Writing in 1997, I characterized this bilateral as having "the potential to alter the strategic map of the Middle East, to reshape American alliances there, and to reduce Israel's regional isolation." It flourished for another five years, until the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, or AKP) won the Turkish elections of 2002 and proceeded to move Turkey in an Islamist direction. Among many implications, this meant distancing Ankara from Jerusalem and, instead, warming relations with Hamas in Gaza. Under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the Turkish government took one step after another to degrade Israelis and diminish relations between the two states, peaking with its indirect sponsorship of the Mavi Marmara ship to Gaza in 2010. In response, the Israelis did all they could to make things work again, even apologizing and offering to pay compensation for the Turkish casualties aboard the Mavi Marmara. Until now, they were rebuffed.

 Germans Stock Up on Weapons for Self-Defense 
{Soeren Kern} ~ Germans, facing an influx of more than one million asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, are rushing to arm themselves... All across Germany, a country with some of the most stringent gun-control laws in Europe, demand is skyrocketing for non-lethal self-defense weapons, including pepper sprays, gas pistols, flare guns, electroshock weapons and animal repellants. Germans are also applying for weapons permits in record numbers. The scramble to acquire weapons comes amid a migrant-driven surge in violent crimes — including rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults — in cities and towns throughout the country. German authorities, however, are going to great lengths to argue that the German citizenry's sudden interest in self-defense has nothing whatsoever to do with mass migration into the country, despite ample evidence to the contrary.

 HealthSpan announces it's dropping nObamacare health plans  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ nObamacare received a major blow last week when Cleveland-based insurance company HealthSpan announced it will no longer sell Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans... is disbanding its physicians’ network, and has notified its brokers it will stop paying commissions for small group and individual customers. According to HealthSpan spokesman Chuck Heald, the ACA was a big money loser for the company: HealthSpan will stop selling individual and small-group health plans on the ACA’s exchanges to focus more on Medicare and employer plans, Heald said. HealthSpan jacked up premium rates for 2016 individual and small-group plans anywhere from 9% to 32% to account for the sicker-than-expected exchange population. HealthSpan also had to pay more than $17 million into the ACA’s risk-adjustment program in 2014, which did not fit into its original forecast, and the insurer has estimated another $19 million in risk-adjustment payments to the government for 2015.

America's Refugee, Asylum, and
Visa Waiver Programs: A Broken System
Steven Emerson
.
.
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Foreigners, including refugees, have no basic or universal right to enter the United States; that entry is granted as a privilege. In today's complex and dangerous environment, and in light of the growing worldwide terror threat, entry into this country is a matter of national security.
.
In a new white paper, the Investigative Project on Terrorism examines gaps in the immigration system which could allow terrorists to enter the United States as refugees, to apply for asylum once in the U.S., or to simply enter as passport holders from the 38 countries in the Visa Waiver Program.
.
The U.S. House is expected to vote this week on legislation to tighten the Visa Waiver Program's conditions, but the white paper makes it clear that such action is one small step in a long journey toward buttressing the system against abuse by terrorists.
.
Weaknesses in the system include the general tendency to give refugees and asylum seekers the benefit of the doubt in their accounts of their plight and background; the excessive speed with which Lawful Permanent Resident status is granted to asylees and refugees; the problems that arise from the fact that many refugees cannot provide documentation of their actual birth dates; inconsistency in the vetting process; inadequacies of the various application forms; and more. Congress needs to address these problems immediately - before the system is overloaded to the breaking point.
.
Among the paper's recommendations:
.
The Department of Homeland Security should seek access to the watch list of countries in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), as well as access to their criminal records and fingerprint databases. VWP countries which do not keep electronic records of arrests of their citizens or lack electronically searchable fingerprint databases should be encouraged to develop such a program as a condition of continued enrollment..
.
The United States should increase its use of the information sharing and fingerprint exchange along with our allies in the Five Country Conference, a consortium of immigration agencies in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Similar electronic fingerprint efforts should seek access to fingerprints with EUROPOL, and used for voting in places like Yemen, and for United Nations programs in Malawi, Chad, Thailand, and all refugee camps in the future.
.
Ask the United Nations to explain its "benefit of the doubt" policy and further explore Citizenship and Immigration Services' high approval and low denial rates for immigration benefits. Congress has stated that a "rubber stamp" culture exists at CIS, which seems to be corroborated by statistics.
.
Extend the statute of limitations for lying on visa waiver, refugee, and asylum applications from five years to 10. The existing statute provides a relatively brief window in which to catch someone. Having the ability to prosecute someone within 10 years would be a valuable tool for rooting out people who may turn to terror after establishing a life in the United States. There is already a 10-year precedent for similar immigration related crimes including passport and naturalization fraud.
.
To combat the problem of stolen passports, which terrorists have used in numerous plots, VWP countries that fail to report passport thefts or other irregularities should immediately be suspended
.
President nObama has consistently downplayed the terror risks involved in the refugee crisis. Speaking shortly after the Paris terror attacks led to widespread reluctance to admit these refugees into the U.S., nObama admonished his critics: "We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic. We don't make good decisions if it's based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks."
.
It is highly doubtful, however, that critics of nObama's plan really are exaggerating the risks, since there are multiple cases of individuals coming to the U.S. as refugees only to get involved in terrorist activity later. In addition, the U.S. refugee system already is overtaxed and could be overloaded to the point of breakdown with the new refugee influx. Moreover, it is not just America's refugee program that is vulnerable: virtually every aspect of our apparatus for immigration, particularly our systems for granting asylum and refugee status, including the Visa Waiver Program, is broken and on the verge of collapse.
.
Terrorists are taking advantage of three potential points of entry into the U.S.: the Visa Waiver Program, the system for admitting refugees, and the system for granting asylum.
.
The Visa Waiver Program (VWP) enables citizens of 38 designated countries to travel visa-free to the United States for up to 90 days. More than 21 million people entered the U.S. from VWP countries in 2013.
.
The VWP gives travelers the privilege of bypassing the State Department's visa screening process and presenting themselves to U.S. border officials at any port of entry without a background check conducted overseas.
.
Terrorists have frequently exploited the VWP to gain entry into the U.S. Zacarias Moussaoui, a French citizen of Moroccan descent, entered the U.S. under the VWP on February 23, 2001. Moussaoui flew from London to Chicago and then on to Oklahoma City, where he attended flight school. Moussaoui was arrested by the INS in Minneapolis on August 16, 2001 as a visa waiver overstay. He was subsequently tried and convicted of conspiring to kill Americans as part of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Moussaoui will spend the rest of his life in jail.
.
The European Union (EU) Terrorism Situation and Trend Report of 2007 stated that several Islamic terrorist suspects were arrested in VWP countries in 2006: one was arrested in Belgium, nine in Denmark, 139 in France, eleven in Germany, 34 in Italy, 51 in Spain, three in Slovakia; and three in Sweden.
.
Meanwhile, the United States admitted 588,364 refugees between 2004-13, an average of 58,836 per year. As of August 2014, the State Department had 2,500 Syrian referrals for the refugee program and anticipated similar numbers in 2016. The administration now wants 10,000 Syrian refugees resettled in America. That is a 277-fold increase over the 2013 total (when only 36 were admitted into the country).
.
Terrorists have exploited the refugee and asylum process as well. The mastermind of the 1993 terror bombing of the World Trade Center, blind sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, and two other terrorists involved in that attack sought asylum in the U.S. Many other terrorists have also taken advantage of the weakness of the refugee and asylum system. Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev came to the United States as children and received asylum through their parents. A set of Albanian brothers of Macedonian origin involved in the foiled plot against soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey were from a refugee family who came to the U.S. illegally as minor children with their parents.
.
America's asylum and refugee system needs major repair. It needs a massive top-to-bottom overhaul, including a thoroughgoing reevaluation of the institutional culture and attitudes that prevail among officials who are charged with admitting refugees and asylees into the United States. As Barack nObama prepares to overload an already seriously dysfunctional system to the point of almost certain collapse, the reform and repair of this system is an urgent national security issue.
.
Absent that, the various agency leaders, administration officials, and politicians of both parties who failed to act should be held accountable for any terror attacks from refugees and asylees admitted into the United States under the purview of this severely damaged system.

Benghazi Email Implicates Hillary

One of the Obama administration mantras, repeated by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is that a military rescue of our trapped Benghazi mission could not have been mounted in time to make a difference, a bizarre claim since at the beginning of the first of two attacks no one could have known when the terrorist attack would end or how long the survivors could hold on.

 Why Wheaton College Is Right  
Wheaton College professor Larycia Hawkins created a stir last week by announcing she would wear a hijab, the head scarf worn by Islamic women, to "stand in religious solidarity with Muslims" during Advent. Hawkins was later suspended by the school, though not for the reasons presumed by secularists and even some Christians. To be clear: We believe there are numerous flaws in the way she spiritually rationalizes and physically chose to display solidarity. But that alone is not a sufficient reason for punishment. What got Hawkins suspended was a fundamental assertion in her statement: "I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book. And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God."
          It's not difficult to see why this might raise some critical issues for a Christian school. In a statement, Wheaton wrote, "The freedom to wear a head scarf as a gesture of care and compassion for individuals in Muslim or other religious communities that may face discrimination or persecution is afforded to Dr. Hawkins as a faculty member of Wheaton College. Yet her recently expressed views, including that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, appear to be in conflict with the College's Statement of Faith."
          As RedState's outgoing editor in chief and seminary student Erick Erickson points out, "Muslims are not 'people of the book' in common understanding among evangelicals, though they do descend from Abraham. They do not worship the same God. According to Islam, Allah neither begets nor is begotten — a line explicitly rejecting the trinity. Professor Hawkins and her supporters may wish to distract or may not even care, but Wheaton sets its hiring standards and requires fidelity to the Bible. Professor Hawkins' statement suggests a theological diversion not in keeping with Wheaton's standards." That's why the college's response isn't just justified, but warranted.  -The Patriot Post

 Water Under the Historically Revisionist Bridge?  
There's an old saying attributed to Russians who endured the travails of Soviet totalitarianism: "The future is known — it's always bright — but the past keeps changing." According to Hollywood Reporter, Apex Entertainment is  producing a feature movie entitled "Chappaquiddick," a film whose utterly twisted rationale is revealed by Producer Mark Ciardi: "I've done a lot of true life stories, many sports stories, but this one had a deep impact on this country. Everyone has an idea of what happened on Chappaquiddick, and this strings together the events in a compelling and emotional way. You'll see what [Senator Ted Kennedy] had to go through."
          What Kennedy had to go through? How about what Mary Jo Kopechne had to go through?
          Hollywood may wish to engage in another Orwellian effort stringing together events in a "compelling and emotional way," but pesky facts are indisputable: After a drunken Kennedy drove his car off Dike Bridge into Poucha Pond, the man who would become the "Lion of the Senate" extricated himself and left the 28-year-old Kopechne to drown.
          According to Edgartown search-and-rescue head John Farrar, who reached the scene the next morning, Kopechne's corpse was positioned in a way that indicated she was searching for pockets of air. Farrar believes she lived for two hours after the crash. In other words, if Kennedy had merely knocked on the door of the nearest house — only yards away — and summoned that rescue squad, Kopechne might have survived. Not that anything Farrar said became part of the public record. "I was told outright by the D.A.'s office that I would not be allowed to testify on how long Kopechne was alive in the car," he told People magazine in July 1989. "They were not interested in the least in anything that would hurt Ted Kennedy."  -The Patriot Post

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE  
Many people remember Mother Teresa as a nun who helped the poorest of poor by fully immersing herself in their lives, living as they did in the slums of Calcutta, India begging for food to get by. So news that she will be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church comes no surprise. What may be surprising, however, is that a woman of seemingly unshakable faith had doubts about her ability to fulfill what she felt was her calling. As she once described: “The change was extremely difficult. In the convent I had lived without knowing what difficulties were. I had lacked nothing. Now everything was different. I slept where I happened to be, on the ground, often in hovels infested by rats. I ate what the people I was serving ate, and only when there was a little food.” Mother Teresa contemplated leaving Calcutta and returning to a convent life, but her faith in her mission compelled her to continue on, as she describes: “Among the poorest of the poor of Calcutta, I loved Jesus. When I love like that, I don’t feel suffering or fatigue.”  -Fox News

 HILLY’S DEATH STAR FULLY OPERATIONAL, BUT  REBELS PERSIST  
As Democrats assemble to debate Saturday in New Hampshire, look no further than today’s ABC News/Washington Post national poll to prove that Hilly Clinton’s death star is fully operational and has eclipsed her rivals. Pockets of the rebellion may have given Bernie Sanders a brief boost this week, but Clinton’s 31 point lead over Sanders in the poll zaps any notion that the force has shifted.
          USA Today: “[T]here’s a growing sense of inevitability about Clinton’s candidacy. According to a recent CNN/WMUR survey of New Hampshire Democrats, about 60% said they think Clinton is most likely to win the primary there, up from 42% saying so in September….At the debate, her challenge is to maintain some distance from President nObama  amid heightened concerns over terrorism without alienating the party’s base voters, for whom the president remains popular.”

 Paul Ryan won't fund border fence, but does fence his mansion  
{Tim Brown} ~ I confess that there is some concern I have about whether or not an actual fence would keep out those crossing our southern border. I confess that the added expense of manning that fence at several mile increments also concerns me about costs and debt, considering we have no actual money...  We’re $19 trillion in debt for goodness sakes! However, the reality is that Republicans have been promising that if they are elected they will deal with things like a border fence and deficit spending and debt. They have been in control of the House since 2010 and the Senate since earlier this year and have failed to stop spending and failed to fund the border fence they promised in the latest sellout of the American people brought to you by House Speaker Paul Ryan, whom Breitbart is reporting has fenced in his entire estate which houses a $421,000... 5,786 six-bedroom mansion. The problem is that Ryan has been hailed as “conservative,” whatever that means nowadays, and has claimed to be brilliant with math and numbers and spoken out against deficit spending and debt. Yet, he gave everything Barack nObama wanted in the $1 trillion omnibus bill I wrote about on Thursday, except he didn’t fulfill any funding for that southern border wall he and other Republicans politicized after the invasion of Central Americans in 2014.        http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/12/paul-ryan-wont-fund-border-fence-but-does-fence-his-421000-mansion/

 Pakistani Taliban says ISIS leader Baghdadi ‘is not a Islamic Khalifa’ 
{BILL ROGGIO} ~ The Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan has yet again rejected the Islamic State and said its emir, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, is unfit to lead an Islamic caliphate... The jihadist group, which is Pakistan’s largest Taliban faction, denounced Baghdadi and his Islamic State in a statement obtained by Reuters. “Baghdadi is not Khalifa (caliph) because in Islam, Khalifa means that he has command over all the Muslim world, while Baghdadi has no such command; he has command over a specific people and territory,” the Pakistani Taliban said.  http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2015/12/pakistani-taliban-says-islamic-state-leader-baghdadi-is-not-a-islamic-khalifa.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LongWarJournalSiteWide+%28The+Long+War+Journal+%28Site-Wide%29%29

 Has The Left Overplayed Its Hand?

Others wonder if we will actually make it to November in one piece. The damage the Left has managed to inflict on our society, thus far, is akin to what the streets would look like after a ‘Running of the Bulls’ if Pamplona were a gigantic fine china bazaar. The economic outlook gets bleaker by the day. The Resident has doubled the national debt since taking office, with the per-citizen share approaching $60,000. Labor participation numbers are staggeringly bad – nearly 103 millionworking-age Americans currently do not have a job. And for those who are fortunate enough to be employed, less than half are netting more than $30,000 per year. Half of all Americans are on some form on government assistance, with 47 million on food stamps.

 Saudi Arabia 'Recruits' 34 Muslim Countries to Fight Terror  
{Alice Greene} ~ Saudi Arabia surprised the world on Tuesday with the unveiling of an anti-terrorism military alliance including 34 mainly Muslim countries... which, according to Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will fight the Islamic State in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, and Afghanistan. Is this coalition Saudi Arabia’s response to worldwide demands that the country to do something to fight the Islamic State – or is it a farce?  Terrorism is a “disease which affected the Islamic world first before the international community as a whole,” said the Crown Prince. He vowed the new alliance will confront “the Islamic world’s problem with terrorism and will be a partner in the worldwide fight against this scourge.” On the surface, it seems like Saudi Arabia has capitulated to worldwide criticism that it become more involved in the fight against terror. Let’s remember, however, the accusations that claim Saudi Arabia to be a supporter of extremist Wahhabi mosques that promote terrorist views.

 Asks IDF Counter-Terrorism Expert What US Should Be Doing  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Judge Jeanine Pirro is joined by Aaron Cohen, a former IDF counter terrorism expert who is highly trained and skilled in meeting terrorism threats... She addresses the “see something say something” mantra of victim hood coming out of the know-nothing Jihadi Jeh Johnson at DHS. His recommendations carry little weight as the Secretary is doing everything he can to make us as vulnerable to attack as possible. He’s not only looking the other way to Islamic terrorist threats, he’s failed to follow-up on 9,500 revoked visas from suspected terrorists and deporting them. Johnson is a terrorist himself so he can be dismissed as at best irrelevant and most likely a serious threat to our nation. Cohen says we need to start getting very realistic about our defense, pointing out a variety of potential soft targets and the extreme vulnerability of Americans in everyday life. He points to Jeh Johnson’s color warning system, saying, “That’s cool, but it doesn’t really help us.” He recommends that the DOJ be able to “control the security of our security licensing process so that we can put private security at every public place.”        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23914

 Sen Jeff Sessions Exposes Blatant Lies Of Speaker Paul Ryan...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ The title and position of Speaker of the House have done nothing to improve the truth telling percentages and propensities of Paul Ryan... If anything he’s been liberated to go full nObama on us, lying with impunity about any topic at any time, defying all challenges and challengers to his claims. Ryan was completely devoid of conscience in his free-wheeling dispensation of falsehoods while promoting the TPP fast track, a secret bill that was classified, making it impossible for him to be refuted and exposed by his honest opposition. The crooked politician is telling similar untruths now about his sellout omnibus “nObama Enabling Act.” He has done so at every opportunity, but one particular  interview with Michael Medved may prove problematic for the pathological piece of legislative trash. He engaged in what were some personal assaults on Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), someone who isn’t concerned with political correctness or impressed by the Ryan persona and position.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23897

 nObama Utters 6 Words About ISIS, Fox News Shred Him to Pieces   {conservativetribune.com} ~ In what can only be described as a public relations ploy by the White House, President Barack nObama held a highly touted meeting with military leaders at the Pentagon on Monday to discuss his strategy to deal with the Islamic State group... Following the meeting, nObama gave a short speech to gathered media, laughably proclaiming, “we are hitting (ISIS) harder than ever.” According to Western Journalism, that self-congratulatory utterance by nObama didn’t sit well with some of the hosts of Fox News’ popular afternoon program “Outnumbered.”

 ISIS Sets Its Sights on the East  
{Vijeta Uniyal} ~ The Islamic State (ISIS) is apparently planning to subjugate and conquer the ancient civilizations of the East as part of its worldwide jihad... The Islamic State's newly-released manifesto contains, among the ideological positions and strategic objectives of the self-proclaimed Islamic Caliphate, direct threats to Hindus and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The 130-page English-language manifesto, entitled "Black Flags from the Islamic State (2016)," was uploaded in early December on various online forums sympathetic to the Islamic State. Previously, in July 2015, ISIS had circulated another document declaring its ambitions of expanding its Jihad into India. This month's ISIS manifesto claims India as part of Islamic Caliphate and, referring to the recent resurgence of Hindus in the country, states: "a movement of Hindus is growing who kill Muslims who eat beef."       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7050/isis-india-hindus

 Samir Kuntar killed in Syria airstrike  
{Elad Benari} ~ Arab media reports on Saturday night claimed that Israeli rocket fire destroyed a building in the Jaramana district of Damascus...  According to Russia Today, Hezbollah-linked terrorist Samir Kuntar was the target of the strike and was reportedly killed. Images from the scene show a collapsed multi-story residential building, with lots of rubble on the ground. Vehicles parked nearby appear to have been completely destroyed, the Russian news agency reported. According to Reuters, a number of rockets indeed hit a building in the Damascus district of Jaramana causing several casualties, but Syria's state media blamed "terrorist groups" - the term used by Bashar Al-Assad regime to describe rebels fighting against him - for the attack. Arab media reports claim Israeli attack in Damascus killed child murderer Samir Kuntar.

 Fighting Islamic State with an eye on Iran 
{Seth-J-Frantzman} ~ The crackle of warm fire reminds one of being on a camping trip. But this fire is kindled in an oil drum that has been cut in half and welded onto four staves... A giant blackened kettle steams with Kurdish tea. All around are sand-bagged positions, bunkers dug into the muddy hillside, and Kurdish flags flapping in the wind. Overhead the faint drone of coalition aircraft, monitoring ISIS, fades into the background. For 16 months, Hussein Yazdanpana has been fighting here with his Kurdish Peshmerga unit. Peshmerga are the military forces of the Kurdistan Regional Government. Like other Kurdish volunteers who fought ISIS to a standstill last year and then pushed the extremists back, Yazdanpana’s unit is connected to a political party. The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), of which Yazdanpana is vice president, has its origins among Kurds from Iran, what they call Eastern Kurdistan.

A Rash Leader in a Grave Time
Peggy Noonan
.
{peggynoonan.com} ~ As tribune of the base Donald Trump is successful and inadequate. You see it in the Muslim question. His strength is that he responds to and appears to share the concerns of those who are legitimately worried about whom we allow into the United States—our visa protocols, our vetting, our standards. This is a national-security issue. We have entered the age of ISIS-inspired and ISIS-directed attacks on the West. The latter (Paris) have tended to be bloodier than the former (San Bernardino), because they involve more operatives, more simultaneous targets, more weapons. Whether inspired or directed, the idea of future hits in the U.S.—and everyone, from the most sophisticated desk-jockey intel analyst in Washington to the receptionist at your dentist’s office, will tell you they believe more are coming—is very much on the public mind.
.
A Paris here would change everything, transposing a detached debate about strategy into a hot and immediate political exigency. There is the real danger events will outstrip sober decision making. The smartest thing I’ve heard the past few weeks was the suggestion that America figure out the most effective and constructive things it could do after a Paris-style attack, and start doing them now. I hope everyone who runs the country is thinking about this. They’d better have a plan.

.
But to Mr. Trump. The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Michael McCaul, said Monday that U.S. intelligence officers believe ISIS terrorists are attempting to use the nObama administration’s Syrian refugee program to enter the country themselves: “I believe 2015 will be seen as a watershed year in this long war—the year when our enemies gained an upper hand and when the spread of terror once again awoke the West.” The director of the FBI previously told Congress the U.S. cannot adequately vet the 10,000 Syrians the administration wants to accept.
.
Under the circumstances public concern is entirely warranted. Good on Mr. Trump for addressing it—and, in addressing it, forcing other candidates to come up with their plans. Bad on Mr. Trump—very bad—for doing it in his usual way. Colorfully, yes—this is a man who knows how to break through the clutter!—but crudely, seemingly off the top of his head, and using his mouth as a blunt instrument. He doesn’t think it through, doesn’t anticipate legitimate pushback, doesn’t try to persuade, only declares. And of course he was confusing and contradictory. We’ll ban all Muslims! Including U.S. citizens returning from an overseas trip? Yes! No! It’s only temporary, a pause. It’s not about religion, it’s about security! He ignores civic and cultural politesse when that politesse is not just old sissy stuff but a melting-pot tradition that exists for good reason. In defense of his stand he evokes FDR’s actions during World War II, which included putting Japanese-Americans in internment camps. Mr. Trump seems to think that was a good thing because FDR did it. But it is regarded as an American embarrassment and a stain on FDR’s legacy. And this is not a Secret of History. Congress officially apologized for internment 27 years ago.
.
All of this forced us into the nonsensical but at this point compulsive media cycle in which Mr. Trump says something rash, the media pounce, and Republican contenders are told they must denounce him or forfeit their place among the just and the good. Mr. Trump then announces he is misunderstood—that in fact he loves women, Mexicans, Muslims, whoever he has offended this week. Oddly enough, I think he is sincere about this and feels genuinely injured. But one thing an effective leader must always do is know what can be misunderstood and guard against it, what can be misconstrued and used to paint you—and your followers—as bigoted. Leaders try hard not to let that happen. It is the due diligence of politics.
.
A continuing mystery of Mr. Trump is his failure to impose on himself political discipline. He has been front-runner for six months but he doesn’t act as if he has absorbed the fact that he could become the nominee. At this point he owes it to his country—he owes it to his own ambition!—to become disciplined in terms of statements and policy. It is possible for candidates to be vivid but careful, dramatic but responsible. When you’re winning you can’t just keep pulling it out of your orifices. Mr. Trump’s lack of discipline should worry his supporters. I know it doesn’t, but it should. Because indiscipline shows disrespect. And people pick up on it, they see it.
.
It is odd too that, as the longtime front-runner, he doesn’t attempt to reassure those who will have some impact on his future, such as state and national party leaders. In his daily actions he could continue to excite his base while subtly signaling to party elders that while he might be an unusual nominee he would, in some recognizable way, be a responsible one. Instead he ties them in knots each day and embarrasses them. That limits his popularity, lowers his ceiling of support, and reinforces the idea he’s an impetuous flake.
.
He tweets out taunts alerting party stalwarts to his continued popularity in the polls, and noting that while he does not intend to go third-party he certainly could. This is a form of blackmail: Nice little party you’ve got here. Shame if someone blew it up.
.
GOP leaders seem to be doing the only thing they can—watch the process play out and hope for good outcomes. Sooner or later, they hope, the field will winnow and it will be Mr. Trump with his 35% versus one, two or three non-Trumps who’ll fight over the 65%. Party leaders’ position is delicate. They are certain they cannot win the presidency with Mr. Trump as the candidate. And they know they can’t win the presidency if embittered Trump supporters stay home or bolt. They can’t win with him and can’t win without his people.
.
Meanwhile Mr. Trump’s supporters, like Mr. Trump himself, appear to care nothing for the GOP. They believe America is in danger and this is no time for party loyalty. In any case they haven’t felt that loyalty for years because the party has disappointed them for years. Mr. Trump is both the expression and a deepening cause of the party’s fissuring.
.
The biggest reason has been the distance—the chasm—between the party elite at the top, who are more or less for illegal immigration, and the bulk of the party on the ground, who are opposed. In this case there is a chasm between elites concerned that they personally will look bigoted if they take action and voters concerned about who comes into America in the age of ISIS. It is a split, a distance; it is primarily the fault of the top, not the bottom; and Mr. Trump, who through his popularity could choose to be a bridge across the distance is instead functioning as a deepener of it.
.
If the nominee is not decided in the primaries and everything is fought through at the convention—well, that will be some convention. In the old fashioned, fisticuffs sense.

 Budgeting for a Republican President  
When Paul Ryan succeeded John backstabber-Boehner as speaker of the House, we hoped he wouldn't turn out to be "backstabber-Boehner Jr." when it came to holding the conservative line against the Democrat minority. While many conservatives may be tempted to attribute the moniker to him in light of the latest budget, it's important to remember that Barack nObama still holds the White House and Republicans are budgeting for the future — and a GOP president.
          This week, Speaker Ryan unveiled a $1.1 trillion, 2,000-page spending and taxes package that can hardly be called a home run for conservatives. In fact, it's a steaming pile of Potomac sludge. The biggest caveat is that spending levels for the package had already been determined back in October by backstabber-Boehner's last hurrah. You'll recall that backstabber-Boehner, unable to get his own party on board, rounded up Democrat support to push through a budget deal increasing federal spending by $80 billion over the next two years.
          While Ryan was constrained by backstabber-Boehner's parting gift, it's what made it into Ryan's plan — and what didn't — that has some folks raising eyebrows.
          In the Republican "win" column, the plan lifts the 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports. In exchange, however, Democrats secured a five-year extension of tax breaks for wind and solar energy producers.
          Another win came on nObamaCare. The Wall Street Journal explains, "Crucially, they preserved the explicit legal language preventing a risk-corridor bailout of money-losing insurers on the Affordable Care Act exchanges. The medical device tax will be suspended for two years, and the insurance industry tax for a year, while the so-called Cadillac tax on high-cost health plans will start in 2020 instead of 2018."  -The Patriot Post

 nObama: No Credible Terrorism Threat Over the Holidays  
And we thought the holidays were about joy, hope and peace. The commander in chief — who is leading a government that 56% Americans believe cannot protect the nation from a large-scale attack and 77% believe cannot protect the nation from a lone-wolf attack — said his intelligence community has not received credible information that there will be a terrorist attack over the holidays. "At this moment our intelligence and counterterrorism professionals do not have any specific and credible information about an attack on the homeland," Barack nObama said Thursday. "That said, we have to be vigilant."
          The biggest obstacle to the nObama administration's ability to protect the homeland is that nObama makes everything political. Currently, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations sent a letter of questions to the Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson kicking off an investigation into the DHS policy of not reading what visa applicants post on the Internet via social media as part of the vetting process for entrance. This is the same administration that shuttered a task force that was tracking members of the Muslim movement to which one of the San Bernardino killers belonged because it was "profiling Muslims."
          Meanwhile, the feds charged the friend of Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the San Bernardino murderers, for conspiring to commit another terror attack with Farook in 2012. Enrique Marquez Jr. passed a background check and bought the rifles Farook used in the San Bernardino attack — a straw purchase. And who wants to bet that nObama, ever the opportunist to plug for gun control, uses this to argue that the nation's background check system isn't doing a good enough job vetting citizens seeking to purchase arms? Better to ban, he might say. And in the meantime, given his impeccable timing for national security boasts, you better watch out this holiday season.  -The Patriot Post

 Don't Trust Democrats With Secrets and Email Tech  
Playing fast and loose with secrets — national and otherwise — is only a problem for Democrats if political enemies do it because that's when the rules matter. Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is in hot water with the Democratic National Committee after his staffers accessed voting data compiled by the Hilly Clinton campaign. As part of its service to the candidates, the DNC keeps a database of potential Democrat voters (and you thought they didn't want to keep track of illegal immigrants). Each candidate's campaign can access the data, and add their own information and firewalls to keep the candidate's own research secret from the others. During scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, a Sanders staffer accessed the data of the campaign of the heiress to the Democrat nomination. In this age of data-driven campaigns, this was a huge no-no. The DNC blocked Sanders' access to the data until there was assurance that all of the ill-gotten information was destroyed. Maybe Sanders just wanted his fair share.
          Of course, this isn't the first time that the Party of Clinton played fast and loose with sensitive information. Regarding that email scandal, a recent review from the intelligence community confirmed (despite State Department protests) that at least two emails containing information that was top secret — the highest classification level — passed through Clinton's server. Meanwhile, nObama Defense Secretary Ashton Carter admitted Wednesday that he too used his private email account to communicate about official business. Think about it: The cabinet member heading up the defense of the nation was using unsecured email. Amazingly, Carter kept using his private email for at least a full two months after Clinton's email habits were discovered and roundly criticized. It seems that Democrats — and especially those in the Most Transparent Administration in History™ — have a systematic problem with following the rules.   -The Patriot Post

 Christian Pastor on Trial for Preaching that Islam is Satanic  
{Onan Coca} ~ History has innumerable examples of how things that should never happen invariably do happen... Whether it’s democratic Germany becoming fascist (and racist), once anti-communist America seriously flirting with an avowed socialist politician, or formerly atheist Russia becoming the most outspoken “Christian” nation in the world, history has a way of taking our preconceived notions about what is and isn’t possible and flipping those things on their head. This same kind of “upsidedowness” is currently developing within Western culture with regards to Christianity, and more generally, Judeo-Christian ethics. Whether on homosexuality, Islam or liberty – our modern culture seems to be honestly repulsed by the many miracles that Judeo-Christian beliefs have bestowed upon our civilization. In fact, that repulsion to our beliefs has become so strong that we are even being jailed for speaking our mind (take that freedom of speech)!       http://eaglerising.com/27617/christian-pastor-on-trial-for-preaching-that-islam-is-satanic/

 Treason Details – Omnibus Betrayal By Ryan, McCon-nell  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ It’s not hard to find plenty of waste in the Omnibus spending bill that was just forced down the throats of the American people by their rulers... those who pretend to be public servants while exhibiting every dictatorial “quality” associated with evolving banana republics. Beyond just the incredible waste aspect, which is an undeniable threat to our economic viability, and one that is intended as a means to weaken the United States by the oligarchs in power, is the terrorist threat which is empowered by the funding of refugee programs which are being abused to import the enemy into our midst. In that regard, this bill is like a Trojan horse in which we can hear conversation and snickering in Arabic coming from inside the “gift,” but one which we inexplicably bring in behind the walls anyway.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23830

 This is Why American Voters are "in Open Rebellion"!  
{Onan Coca} ~ Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is right. Early Friday morning he was busy on the Senate floor excoriating the House for their passage of the Omnibus Bill... During his tirade against the Omnibus bill he said something that I think may be the most insightful thing i've heard from a politician in years. Basically, Sessions argued that the Omnibus bill is the perfect example of why the American voters are in "open rebellion" against the establishment in both parties. He's exactly, 100% correct. Democrat voters have taken to flirting with outright socialism in Bernie Sanders and GOP voters are contemplating voting for Donald Trump because they are so tired of the GOP establishment. Watch as Senator Sessions explains:

 Clinton, Mills Warned Not To Use Blackberry Devices  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Judicial Watch has obtained information regarding internal correspondence at the State Department between Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security, Eric Boswell and both Hilly Clinton and her Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills... In those emails Boswell was emphatic that Blackberry devices should not be allowed due to the serious security risk that they posed. His information once again reveals that Clinton acted recklessly with State secrets and did so in spite of knowledge that her actions resulted in highly sensitive data being subject to foreign espionage targeting. He remarked that this new information indicates her “mishandling of classified information and violations of federal records laws” were “far from innocent.” On Friday the following information was posted on the Judicial Watch website:        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23844

 Muslims in America: The Backlash Industry  
{A.J. Caschetta} ~ Addressing the 10th Anniversary celebration of an Islamic advocacy group, Attorney General Loretta Lynch became the latest governmental official to warn of an impending anti-Muslim backlash... In the December 3rd speech, which echoed the admonitions of her predecessor Eric Holder, she took it a step further by vowing to prosecute those who speak or write about Islam in a way that she does not approve. She described her "greatest fear" as "the incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric" and vowed to prosecute speech that "edges towards violence." Lynch's hyperbole is in line with fears of an ever-imminent anti-Muslim backlash that much of the media has been warning about since the afternoon of September 11, 2001. Of course the backlash never came. The Attorney General's not-so-veiled assault on free speech and common sense ignores the real assault while instead conjuring up hyperventilated fantasies. In fact, American society has been incredibly tolerant of both Muslims and even Islamists – so much so that rather than focusing on the growing evidence of violent Islamists living among them, the majority of Americans seem more concerned about discomfiting their Muslim neighbors or being labeled Islamophobes.        http://www.meforum.org/5719/backlash-industry

 nObama Commutes Sentences of 95 Prisoners  
{Morgan Chalfant} ~ President nObama commuted the sentences of 95 prisoners and pardoned two, the White House announced in a statement Friday... The commutations represented the largest number nObama has announced at one time, according to the Associated Press, and were mainly granted to prisoners held for nonviolent drug crimes. Many of the individuals were serving time for crimes involving cocaine and crack. Among those pardoned were a woman from Virginia sentenced to home detention and supervised release for bank fraud and a man from Ohio sentenced to probation for counterfeiting. Oh-my, no mention of the Americans prisoned in Iran.       http://freebeacon.com/issues/obama-commutes-sentences-of-95-prisoners/

But you'll get to the truth much faster when you learn where pro-amnesty power brokers have placed their bets and hitched their wagons.

 Terrorism: Where to Turn?  
{Richard Prasquier} ~ After the November 13 attacks in Paris, there were concerns in the media that Europe did not fully understand the gravity of the threats posed by radical Islam... Frances's Minister of the Interior, Bernard Cazeneuve, however, certainly did not hide his prediction that, this year, a large scale attack would take place in France. It was not a matter of "if," but "when" and "where." Thoughts first were for the victims, for those who will suffer all their lives -- young people who went out just to enjoy some music or eat with friends. Next came the questions: about the claim of responsibility by ISIS, and how the coordinated attacks would nullify the "lone wolf" theory -- a hypothesis largely refuted anyway. These were commandos trained to kill, and to kill themselves too.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7048/terrorism-isis-paris

 nObama Seeks to Reject Anti-Legalization Supreme Court Case  
{Natalie Myers} ~  Despite their anti-legalization of marijuana stance, nObama’s administration recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out a lawsuit against Colorado filed by Nebraska and Oklahoma which asked the Court to block the legalization of recreational marijuana... Nebraska and Oklahoma filed the case because they stated their resources are being drained in efforts to fight the amount of marijuana legally purchased in Colorado, but then brought illegally into their states. These two states aim to protect the health of their citizens by preventing the increase of marijuana that neighboring Colorado’s recreational law has caused. Although Nebraska and Oklahoma disagree with the Colorado law, they are not implying that Colorado has encouraged or authorized anyone to illegally travel across state lines with marijuana. This lawsuit was filed using the “original jurisdiction” process, where the Supreme Court oversees cases of state disputes that have not gone through the lower court system.

Terrorism Preps In The Show Me State…
Cell Phones, Propane Tanks
 And Explosives
Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
.
{noisyroom.net} ~ It’s been an interesting few weeks in The Show Me state of Missouri. Events there have not left anyone feeling as safe and secure as nObama keeps claiming they should be from his podium. Quite the opposite. Things in the US are getting really interesting these days in a bad way. First we had the Jihadist killings in San Bernardino by the Bonnie and Clyde of terrorism. On Syred Farook’s phone were pictures of at least 11 schools. Then this morning, the LA School District was evacuated. Over 700,000 students were sent home and 900 schools are being searched from top to bottom today because of an overseas terrorism threat sent to a school board member. That must have been one doozie of a threat. We are a little light on those details, but it evidently involved at least three schools and an unspecified number of students. Welcome to the new America.

Missouri just became ground zero for some intense evolving events that have occurred there recently. In the last week, six Walmarts were visited in the wee hours of the morning by at least two Middle Eastern men. At each stop they purchased 60 burner phones. They couldn’t be arrested because technically they did nothing illegal. Cell phones can be used for communications in terrorist cells and as detonators for bombs. ISIS just released a snuff film in Syria showing rebel prisoners who had explosives placed underneath them. The thugs stood off and detonated the bombs with their phones and rebel bits went everywhere. Just think what they could do with over 360 phones and those are just the ones we know about.
.
As concerning as those events were, it gets even worse. Over the last two weeks in Missouri, dozens of propane tanks have been stolen from various locations. As with the cell phones, the FBI says they are not concerned. Really? I’m sure they realize you can make bombs from propane tanks. Not to mention, you can empty them, pack them with explosives and plant them back in stores of propane tanks and set them off remotely. Yep, there are all kinds of nifty, evil uses for propane. There was also a sighting in Florida of several Muslim men buying propane tanks in bulk. Gee, wonder what they intend to do with them? That would make for one hell of a barbecue.

.
My favorite part of this whole screwed up affair by far involves a walk in the woods in the same area where the cell phones were purchased and the propane tanks went missing. First off, a man was spotted acting very suspiciously in the area. He has never been found, no big surprise there. The coup de grace has to be the other incident that occurred in the Mark Twain National Forest in Mid-Missouri. This is just 30 minutes from Lebanon, Missouri where one of the Walmart purchases took place. A hunter was camping in those woods when he noticed that the earth had been disturbed. He dug a little and what he found rocked his world. He called the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department who came out and brought a whole bunch of experts with them. Buried there was a massive cache of explosives. Not the kind you buy for personal use. Terrorist grade… the kind used in IEDs and pipe bombs. Still think there’s nothing to worry about in Missouri? I’d get worried and fast. The best part… they found the cache in October. That’s right, two months ago and the authorities didn’t tell anyone. After all, we wouldn’t want people to panic or have any chance whatsoever to protect themselves, now would we? Unbelievable.
.

From Mad World News:

Officers found a huge cache of “extremely volatile” explosives, which police described to be of a style “that could not be purchased for recreational use.” This suggests that the extensive supply was all homemade pipe bombs or other IEDs, created and collected with a specific plan in mind. The stock was so dangerous that it couldn’t be safely detonated without the help of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit (EOD), the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s EOD Unit, and the Waynesville Rural Fire Department, KY3 reported. The exact location, as well asrecent developments, make this discovery even more concerning than what law enforcement knew at the time.

.
The sheriff and authorities are denying that any of this is connected to terrorism. They are telling the public there is nothing to see here, move along. But how many pieces of the puzzle have to fall into place before you warn the public that something very bad is brewing? Evidently they consider mass purchases of burner phones, the theft of dozens of propane tanks and the uncovering of explosives as routine and nothing for Missourians to worry their pretty little heads about. There is absolutely nothing to worry about here until the day there is of course.

 Six Purple Hearts for Chattanooga Attack  
After the FBI and Naval Criminal Investigative Service finished their investigation into the July attack at two Navy facilities in Chattanooga, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced the five service members who died and the one who was wounded will receive Purple Heart medals. "Their heroism and service to our nation will be remembered always," Mabus said in the announcement Wednesday. The men who gave their lives for their country are: Marine Sgt. Carson A. Holmquist, Staff Sgt. David A. Wyatt, Gunnery Sgt. Thomas J. Sullivan, Lance Cpl. Squire K. Wells and Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith. Marine Sgt. DeMonte Cheeley, who was wounded in the attack, will also receive the Purple Heart.
          For political reasons, Barack nObama has avoided labeling attacks on military facilities in our homeland acts of terrorism — something to do with that story about al-Qaida on the run and the Islamic State being contained. He even waited five days after the Chattanooga attack to order the flags at half staff. Furthermore, fallen and wounded soldiers have previously been denied the honor and support that comes with the Purple Heart. It took five years for survivors of the 2009 Fort Hook attack to receive medals. In the case of Chattanooga, the FBI took its time — five months — to announce the attacker was inspired by propaganda created, in the words of FBI Director James Comey, by a "foreign terrorist organization." nObama finally but offhandedly acknowledged these attacks were terrorism in his Oval Office speech last week. On the other hand, as Chattanooga's daily newspaper The Times Free Press notes, the FBI waited two days before labeling the San Bernardino attack an act of terrorism. Clearly, the nObama narrative is falling apart.  -The Patriot Post

 Is the IRS Once Again Conspiring Against Conservatives?  
As much trouble as the IRS has gotten itself into, you'd think it would tread carefully before rolling out more suspicious rules. But no. This is the IRS we're talking about — the one that politically targeted conservative groups and whose tax-exempt chief at the time, Lois Lerner, walked free. Now we're seeing what happens when government agencies aren't held accountable. A Wall Street Journal editorial cautions that a new IRS rule has all the warning sings of another politically motivated hatchet job to stifle finance contributions. To wit:

In September the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department proposed a rule to give 501(c)(3) charities the "option" of filing detailed reports on every donor who contributes more than $250. These reports would include names, addresses and Social Security numbers. Oh, oh.

While the IRS says the rule is "voluntary," in government that's often a prelude to compulsory. The legitimate fear in the nonprofit world, on the right and left, is that this is a first step toward making such donor lists mandatory, and then applying the requirement to every nonprofit — including the conservative social-welfare organizations that the IRS helped to shut down in the 2012 presidential election.

Such a requirement opens up a whole can of worms, the net effect being that donors who value their privacy (and want to stay out of the IRS's crosshairs) will close their pocketbooks altogether. Who, after all, willingly provides their Social Security number to a nonprofit? Even the IRS advises against haphazardly giving it away. Add that to the fact the agency has given us every reason not to trust it, and this may be yet another attempt to silence political foes (read: conservatives). Anything to undermine Citizens United, right?   -The Patriot Post

 Hung Jury in First Trial Over Freddie Gray Death  
In a decision that satisfied no one, the judge presiding over the trial of Officer William Porter, the first of six police officers tried over the April death of Freddie Gray, declared a mistrial. After the jury deliberated for three days, they were unable to come to an agreement over the verdicts of the four charges Porter faced: involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. The death of Gray after his neck was broken while in a police transport van sparked riots in Baltimore. The city's officials acted quickly, with State Attorney Marilyn Mosby throwing the book at the officers with such force they responded by accusing the attorney of having a conflict of interest. It didn't help that when Mosby announced the charges, she said, "To the people of Baltimore and the demonstrators across America, I heard your call for 'No Justice, No Peace.'" Furthermore, the city implied that it thought its police officers were guilty by settling with Gray's family for $6.4 million before the criminal cases ever hit court. This hung jury throws up a barrier to the city's rush to "justice." In preparation of the blowback it would receive, the city braced for more protests, and three school districts canceled field trips into the city. As for Porter, he told a reporter from the Baltimore Sun "It's not over yet," as the city can still decide to prosecute him again.   -The Patriot Post

 When All Else Fails, Erdogan Calls Israel  
{Shoshana Bryen} ~ The announcement of the restoration of Israel-Turkish relations should be seen in the context of Turkey having nowhere else to go... Turkey's relations with Israel have been strained, to put it mildly, since 2010 when, through a non-profit organization, Turkey funded the 2010 Gaza Flotilla aimed at breaking the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. After a bloody confrontation, which ended in the deaths of nine Turks, Turkey demanded that Israel be tried in the International Criminal Court (ICC) and subjected to UN sanction. The ICC ruled that Israel's actions did not constitute war crimes. In addition, the UN's Palmer Commission concluded that the blockade of Gaza was legal, and that the IDF commandos who boarded the Mavi Marmara ship had faced "organized and violent resistance from a group of passengers," and were therefore required to use force for their own protection. The commission, however, did label the commandos' force "excessive and unreasonable."

 DHS rejected plan to search Visa applicants' social media  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ According  Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memos obtained by MSNBC (yes that MSNBC) senior officials at the agency considered and ultimately rejected a proposal to use social media accounts of  visa applicants as part of the vetting process... This issue has received particular focus in the wake of the President’s decision to invite 10,000 Syrian refugees to the U.S., and the recent terrorist attack in San Bernardino. Originally it was reported that one of the terrorists, Tashfeen Malik was given a visa despite the fact that her social media showed her to be a radicalized Islamist, that report was disputed by the FBI. The memo from 2011 (embedded below w/redactions for selected operational details) spoke to what many Americans are calling for, a review of social media, for people who are applicants for visas.  It outlines how officials could use social media to vet visa applicants abroad and inside the United States.

 nObama Is About To Meet With Islamic Leaders...  
{Randy DeSoto} ~ President nObama plans to meet with Muslim leaders later this week to discuss how his administration is working to combat discrimination and acts of hatred against those who practice that faith... Young Conservatives highlighted the seeming incongruity of concerns the president has about potential backlash towards Muslims versus the real world violence radical Islamists visited on San Bernardino less than two weeks ago. “What’s truly disgusting about this is how the president hasn’t personally met with victims’ families from the San Bernardino attack, who are dead because a Muslim terrorist decided to go beyond ‘hateful talk’ and end the lives of 14 innocent individuals,”  writes Michael Cantrell for Young Cons.

 End of the West?  
{Reuel Marc Gerecht} ~ Should the United States militarily defeat jihadist outfits in the Middle East? After 9/11 the answer seemed easy, but after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq... Barack nObama is not alone in arguing that large-scale offensive campaigns against radical Muslim movements aren't worth the cost. Even if the president's go-slow approach is actually more likely to provoke more terrorism, is it the sensible policy for America? And can Western governments actually defeat the Muslim radicals who live in the West and are a nightmare for domestic intelligence services to find, let alone stop? These questions are as much about Europe as the Middle East. The United States could destroy the Islamic State militarily only to see Western-born or immigrant holy warriors continue to slaughter Americans and Europeans. What would be the point? A narrative is already developing—see last week's New York Times piece "U.S. Seeks to Avoid Ground War Welcomed by the Islamic State"—that questions whether the United States can and should destroy the Islamic State if doing so requires tens of thousands of American troops. Left unsaid but clearly implied: Better to have terrorist safe havens in the Middle East and absorb occasional terrorist attacks (especially if they are in Europe) than to risk a campaign that could generate thousands of new holy warriors and require America again to occupy Muslim lands.

 nObama administration clears path for Iran  
{Joseph Klein} ~ Iran is already in flagrant violation of its obligations under United Nations Security Council resolutions referenced in the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed on July 14, 2015, by Iran, the five permanent members of the Security Council and Germany... Nevertheless, the nObama administration is making excuses for Iran. It is still on track to reward Iran soon with the freeing up of over $100 billion in frozen assets and the lifting of economic sanctions. First, the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was not able to complete the full investigation of Iran’s suspected past work on a nuclear explosive device, which was supposed to be a precondition for moving forward with implementation of the JCPOA’s terms. Even with the limited information it was provided, including samplings and photographs taken as a result of Iran’s own self-inspection, the agency concluded that, at least through 2009, Iran had conducted such activities. The agency also stated in its report that Iran had appeared to cover its tracks at its Parchin military site: Despite the unanswered questions and even some evidence of a cover-up, the nObama administration and its negotiating partners closed the book on the IAEA’s investigation of Iran’s past nuclear arms related activities. Whatever may have happened in the past is ancient history, according to the thinking of the nObama administration. It is time, Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry said, for the IAEA to “turn its focus now to the full implementation and verification of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).” Yet if the “JCPOA cuts off all of Iran’s pathways to a nuclear weapon,” as the White House claims on its website, why is the nObama administration interpreting the JCPOA in a way that would not apply it to cutting off Iran’s pathway to the delivery of a nuclear weapon?       http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/261164/obama-administration-clears-path-iran-joseph-klein

 Federal judge rebukes CAIR in 'Muslim Mafia' case  
{wnd.com} ~ A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled Thursday that the Council on American-Islamic Relations – a group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S. – has no legal basis to claim its reputation was damaged by an undercover investigation documenting its ties to global jihad... As WND reported, CAIR filed suit in 2009 against former federal investigator Dave Gaubatz and his son, Chris Gaubatz, after their findings were published in the WND Books expose, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America.” In its lawsuit, which is scheduled to go to trial, CAIR originally alleged it suffered damages after the younger Gaubatz, posing as an intern, obtained access to some 12,000 pages of CAIR internal documents under false pretenses and made recordings of officials and employees without consent.

 Joint Chiefs Chairman Opposed Gitmo Terrorist Release  
{Bill Gertz} ~ The chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff did not approve the Oct. 30 release of a terrorist held at the Guantanamo Bay prison... contrary to a Pentagon announcement that the transfer was “unanimously” approved by senior nObama administration officials. Gen. Martin Dempsey, who retired Oct. 1 as chairman, said he did not support plans to release Aamer because of the detainee’s “conduct” after a 2009 interagency review certified him for transfer from the Cuban prison. “It is a matter of congressional record that I recommended against releasing Shaker Aamer,” Dempsey told the Washington Free Beacon in an email.      http://freebeacon.com/national-security/joint-chiefs-chairman-opposed-gitmo-terrorist-release/

 U.S. Continues to Limit Airstrikes Against ISIS Camps  
{Bill Gertz} ~ President nObama said for the first time this week that U.S. and allied airstrikes are targeting ISIS training camps in Iraq and Syria, but new figures reveal only 20 camps were hit in recent months... Since May, U.S. and allied air forces conducted 17 attacks hitting a total of 20 camps in Syria and Iraq, according to the U.S. military command in Iraq. Critics in the nObama administration and U.S. military say ISIS has been operating more than 60 training camps since 2014 in areas of Syria and Iraq. The camps are said to be producing an estimated 1,000 fighters a month. The officials voiced frustrations that ISIS training camps are not being vigorously struck.

 Iran, Russia Begin Swapping Nuclear Materials  
{Adam Kredo} ~ Russia and Iran are beginning to trade sensitive nuclear materials, an activity that is at least in part condoned by the nObama administration and permissible under the tenets of the recent nuclear accord, according to U.S. and Iranian officials... Russian-made yellow cake, a type of uranium powder that helps turn it into a nuclear fuel, “is in Iran and Iran’s enriched uranium cargo will be sent to Russia” within the next several days, according to top Iranian officials quoted this week in the country’s state-run press. Senior U.S. officials confirmed on Thursday that the nObama administration backs the opening of commercial nuclear trade between Moscow and Tehran.

 Make America Dumb Again?  
{Cliff Kincaid} ~ Asked during the debate which leg of the nuclear triad requires the most attention, Donald Trump said a few things about the danger of terrorists getting a nuclear weapon... Then, he added, “I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me.” Two days before these words of wisdom were spoken by The Donald to a national television audience, I had gotten in the mail a copy of MAD, my favorite humor magazine, with a parody of Donald Trump’s campaign that proclaimed, “Make America Dumb Again.” Stupidity in the nuclear arena spells death for America. I understand that MAD has a liberal bias and tends to focus its humor on conservatives and Republicans. But I couldn’t argue with the cover story on Trump, especially after it became clear in the debate that Trump didn’t understand what he was talking about. He sounded authoritative nonetheless. Moderator Hugh Hewitt had asked the question while noting, “The B-52s are older than I am. The missiles are old. The submarines are aging out.” The air, land and sea components of our nuclear forces are the three legs of the triad. Any serious presidential candidate should know that. Trump seemed to be out to lunch at the Trump Tower. Yes indeed, we are in trouble.

Will Elites Blow Up the GOP?

{freedomsback.com} ~ “Buchanan, if you ever hear of a group getting together to stop X, be sure to put your money on X.”
.
So, Richard Nixon told me half a century ago, after he had been badly burned in just such a futile and failed enterprise.
.
It was the Cleveland Governors Conference of 1964.
.
Sen. Barry Goldwater had just defeated Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in the final and decisive winner-take-all primary in California.
.
As the story is told, Stu Spencer, Rocky’s man in California, had come to his candidate and said, “Governor, I think it’s time to call in the Eastern establishment.”
.
To which Rocky replied, “You’re looking at it, buddy. I’m all that’s left!”
.
Rocky was cooked. But then the panicked Republican governors gathered in Cleveland — Rockefeller, George Romney of Michigan, William Scranton of Pennsylvania — to plot a path to deny Goldwater the nomination he and his conservative insurgents had won.
.
Nixon was invited, and, according to Romney, privately urged him to get into the race. Nixon denied it.
.
The governors, and Goldwater himself, suspected Nixon was pushing Romney onto the tracks to derail his bandwagon. And, presumably, after Romney had been run over, the convention, to heal the bleeding wound, would turn to a centrist compromise candidate — Nixon.
.
“Nixon is sounding more and more like Harold Stassen every day,” said Goldwater. Nixon pivoted swiftly to repair the damage, offered to introduce Goldwater to the convention, did so in a brilliant speech, then campaigned harder for Mr. Conservative than did Barry himself.
.
And while Nixon enlisted in Goldwater’s campaign, Rockefeller, Romney and Scranton, arrogantly refusing to accept defeat graciously, crippled any chance Goldwater might have had by demanding that the platform condemn the John Birch Society as equally extreme as the Communist Party and Ku Klux Klan.
.
The party said no. And the establishment cut Barry dead in the fall.
.
Thus did the GOP establishment earn the eternal enmity of the right.
.
And thus did Richard Nixon emerge in 1968 as the first choice of Barry Goldwater and the centrist Republican most acceptable to the conservative movement. The rest, as they say, is history.
.
Which brings us to that dinner last week at The Source on Capitol Hillwhere Republican Party elites discussed how Donald Trump, even if he wins the lion’s share of votes and delegates, might be denied the nomination in a “brokered convention.”
.
The absurdity of such a conspiracy would be matched only by its stupidity. Has the GOP establishment learned nothing from history?
.
Deadlocked conventions — like the 1924 Democratic convention, which went on for 104 ballots — virtually ended with the elimination, by FDR’s party in 1936, of the two-thirds rule for nomination.
.
That rule kept ex-President Martin Van Buren, who could not muster 67 percent of the delegates, from capturing the nomination in 1844.
.
After eight deadlocked ballots in a three-way contest, that Baltimore convention turned to a “dark horse,” Speaker James K. Polk, who promised immediate annexation of Texas by the United States and that he would take us to war with Mexico to guarantee it.
.
With the two-thirds rule dead, the only way to have a convention without a nominee on the first ballot is a three- or four-way split in delegates.
.
But assume at the GOP convention in Cleveland that Trump runs first, Ted Cruz second, Marco Rubio third and Ben Carson fourth.
Rather than wait for Karl Rove & Co. to tell us whom the party shall nominate, Trump would phone Cruz, offer him second spot on the ticket in return for his delegates, and if Cruz declined, ask for Rubio’s phone number.
.
Candidates who have gone through a yearlong campaign, and sustained the defeats and suffered the abuse, are not going to let a Beltway cabal decide the nominee.
.
Carson has already warned he will walk away from the party if such a decision were imposed upon the convention.
.
Moreover, the old establishments are dead. Conservatives killed the GOP establishment in 1964. The Vietnam War and George McGovern killed the Democratic establishment in 1972.
.
What is left are elites, collectives of officeholders past and present, donors, lobbyists, think-tankers angling for jobs, party hacks and talking heads.
.
What the Republican collectivity has to realize is that it is they and the policies they produced that are the reason Trump, Carson and Cruz currently hold an overwhelming majority of Republican votes.
.
It was the elites of both parties who failed to secure our borders and brokered the trade deals that have de-industrialized America and eviscerated our middle class.
.
It was the elites of both parties who got us into these idiotic wars that have blown up the Middle East, cost us trillions of dollars, thousands of dead, and tens of thousands of wounded among our best and bravest.
.
That Republican elites would sit around a dinner table on Capitol Hill and discuss how to frustrate the rising rebellion against what they have done to America, and decide among themselves who shall lead us, is astonishing.
.
To borrow from the Gipper, they are not the solution to our problems. They are the problem.

Donald Trump's Statement Concerning Vladimir Putin's And U.S. Government Death March

4064191145?profile=original

The Sacrifice Of U.S. Citizens By The U.S. Government

Remember, "Donald Trump Is Not A Trained Politician" with the scripted words that eventually get the trained politicians that are in and have been in control of the U.S. into office we have no desire for. Donald Trump doesn't use teleprompters and just states the unscripted truth as his supporters have come to realize is absolutely truthful. Donald Trump doesn't elaborate and you have to be able to understand reality in order to make sense of Donald Trumps words and what Donald Trump means when he is saying his words.

It's good that Vladimir Putin made some positive comments about Donald Trump after Donald Trump stated he would have a good relationship with the Russian president. This means Donald Trump and Putin are, "Going To Talk" seriously about the middle east and other world affairs. These talks need to happen and if a rosy appearance develops between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin that's not a bad thing at all. "They Will Talk". WWIII between Russia and the United States needs to be avoided. A rosy relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin? I'll take it over WWIII any day. Donald Trump has proven himself to be "Tea Party" over and over again so he will be given the trust of dealing with Putin through "NEGOCIATIONS" that are not the strong point of the other presidential candidates or past presidents that got us into this mess.

Donald Trump stated Putin is the leader of Russian as chosen by the people of Russia after the liberal reporter on MSNBC told Donald Trump Putin murders reporters. Putin in fact does murder reporters and his rivals but Putin is the leader of Russia and the "People Of Russia Will Not Correct The Problem Of Putin" and the killing machine of the Russia government. Donald Trump cannot refuse to talk to Putin or any other world governments that kill their rivals to stay in power. You bet, "If Obama And The Communist U.S. Democrats Stay In Power The Russia Way Of Killing Off Rivals Will Develop In The U.S. Without A Doubt".

As for Donald Trump stating the U.S. government kills people also? "THAT HOLDS TRUE" if you look at all the "Massive Unchecked Immigration" that's being allowed by our failure ridden U.S. government. The 9/11 World Trade Center deaths were caused by U.S. government intent as to being an intent of our corrupt U.S. government putting immigrants in front of the safety of U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens have become not even secondary to the U.S. government but in fact, " A USELESS NUISANCE" so our deaths that are caused by foreigners are just calculated into the overall plan that transforms the U.S. into a communist nation like the military estimates the deaths of soldiers prior to an invasion of a military opponent. "True". Even though an order wasn't directly given by the U.S. government to kill the over 3000 people in the World Trade Center it was known by the U.S. government that U.S. citizens would die due to their plan of flooding the U.S. with massive amounts of legal and illegal immigrants.
