 Leading From Behind Has Predicted Result  
Seems like no nation wants to take the lead to fight the Islamic State. So much for Barack nObama's "international community" and "leading from behind." Each one of them has a 1-2-3-not-it approach to summoning enough initiative for ending the Islamic State once and for all. Oh sure, Syrian rebels, the Peshmerga and the Iraqi army are all battling corners of the group on their turf, and the West is content to lob a few bombs in Islamic State territory every day, but no one has set a vision for the endgame. Now, the general secretary of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, announced the organization won't be leading the effort to end the caliphate and ensure security for its partner nations.
          "Muslims are on the front line in this war," Stoltenberg said. "Most victims are Muslims, and most of those who fight against the [Islamic State] are Muslims. We can not carry on this struggle for them. The United States has a limited number of special forces. In the foreground, however, is strengthening local forces. This is not easy, but it's the only option." Despite the attack on America's homeland in San Bernardino, nObama is content — using National Review's Arthur Herman's analogy — to huddle behind the Maginot Line while Nazi Germany perfects its Blitzkrieg tactics. Instead, he addressed the nation Sunday to say he was doubling down on his strategy of "inherent resolve" and oh, to make firearms more difficult to acquire, because that would disrupt the jihadists who by the way are waging a "knife intifada" in Israel. It's time nObama adopted a winning strategy -The Patriot Post

 The Syrian Refugee Religious Test  
If the Syrian refugees the nObama administration is accepting into the United States really are the most needy — the ones most at risk at being caught in the crossfire of the Syrian civil war — then why has the U.S. government only accepted one Christian refugee? A total of 237 Syrian refugees entered the country since Nov. 13, the day the Islamic State struck Paris. But only one Greek Orthodox individual landed on our shores, despite U.S. law requiring that asylum seekers be asked about the role religion played in persecution. Remember: Christians are fleeing the Middle East after their churches are targeted and razed — and it's not just the Islamic State carrying out the atrocities. The nObama administration, however, continues to refuse to consider religion with any of its Middle East dealings. In August, Immigration and Customs Enforcement was preparing to deport 27 Christians who were seeking asylum after fleeing the Islamic State.
          As a result of the Syrian refugee question, Congress is stepping up its involvement with immigration policy. The House passed, with a 407-19 vote Tuesday, a measure reforming the nation's Visa Waiver Program. The bill would require travelers holding passports for Western Europe who also traveled to Iraq, Iran, Syria or Sudan in the last five years to get a visa and undergo more scrutiny before entering the states. But there is only so much reform that Congress is willing to do. While there is bipartisan support to reform visas, the very program that accepted a single Christian will probably fall to Barack nObama's veto pen. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) believes  Democrats have enough votes to sustain the nObama administration's Trojan horse refugee program for Syrians.

 French Raid Mosques, Democrats Visit Them  
The attack in Paris was a hard lesson and wake-up call, but the French are showing signs of learning. During a state of emergency crackdown, "French authorities announced [last week] they shut down three mosques for an alleged 'pattern of radicalization,'" reports USA Today. French authorities found Islamic State propaganda, as well as weapons and ammo, and they made scores of arrests.
          Of course, USA Today also notes the flip side: "but terrorism analysts said such tactics are unlikely to be repeated in the USA." Thanks to Barack nObama's blinding Islamophilia, he would never allow such a thing. And Democrats follow his lead. That's why several Democrat lawmakers attended a prayer service at a radical mosque and nObama's DHS secretary held a press conference at a mosque tied to the Muslim Brotherhood — both after the San Bernardino attack.    -The Patriot Post

 Denying Rights to Combat Terrorism?  
In a Sunday speech he clearly had no interest in giving, Barack nObama spoke to the nation from the Oval Office in an attempt to address the fears of many Americans following attacks in Paris (130 dead, almost 400 wounded) and San Bernardino (14 dead, 21 wounded) by Islamic jihadists. He failed to assuage those fears, primarily because he once again proved that he is clueless as to the real threat and the real enemy.
           To no one’s surprise, nObama used these recent tragedies to renew his push for more gun control in what was actually pretty savvy political theater.
          Under the guise of combatting terrorism, nObama declared, “To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon? ... We also need to make it harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons like the ones that were used in San Bernardino." Then he mocked, "I know there are some who reject any gun safety measures.”
          This is craven theatrics, but it will work on some Americans. All the public is going to hear is "no-fly list" and "guns," and then they're going to think, "Why do Republicans want to put guns in the hands of terrorists?" Mission accomplished for nObama.
          But there are three glaring problems with nObama’s proposed “solutions” — one practical, one political, and the other constitutional.

 NSA's needle in a haystack  
NVTg0J5JrpcrCzzniOSPZoIAqlql3dPfM2xyJVqGIeoOtkFyBbQ5ZL43Q2DVry2YRiDfEmR1t_Hqmm4AEutNqn-IFxduF5ju-dVjDz13uyA0cPs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href= {Judge Andrew Napolitano} ~ If you were looking for a needle in a haystack, simple logic would tell you that the smaller the haystack the likelier you are to find the needle. Except for the government... Since Edward Snowden revealed the federal government’s unlawful and unconstitutional use of federal statutes to justify spying on all in America all the time, including the members of Congress who unwittingly wrote and passed the statutes, I have been arguing that the Fourth Amendment prohibits all domestic spying, except that which has been authorized by a search warrant issued by a judge. The same amendment also requires that warrants be issued only based on a serious level of individualized suspicion backed up by evidence – called probable cause – and the warrants must specifically identify the place and person to be spied upon. Because these requirements are in the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, Congress and the president and the courts are bound by them. There is no emergency or public safety or wartime exception to them. These requirements cannot be changed by legislation; only a constitutional amendment, ratified by the legislatures of 37 states, can do so.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/nsas-needle-in-a-haystack/

 Making women front-line targets  
{Retired Adm. James A. Lyons} ~ If you want to take a country down, the first thing you do is weaken its military. That’s why sequestration was the perfect storm for the nObama administration... It provided the legal basis for the unilateral disarmament of the most feared and capable military force in the world. However, unilateral disarmament was insufficient to kill the “warrior mentality” of our military forces. It took the social engineering that were forced on our military to undercut unit integrity, cohesiveness, moral fiber, and most importantly, “the will to win,” with apparently no objection by our military leadership. Stunning was the announcement by Secretary of Defense Ashton B. Carter that he, personally, overruled the U.S. Marine Corps on whether it should be exempt from his directive that all combat positions be open to women. Nothing is excluded. This includes all front-line combat positions — U.S. Special Forces, Delta Force, Navy SEALs and Army Rangers.        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/making-women-front-line-targets/?utm_source=AIM+-

 One Lie after another  
 Hilly denies she blamed the video when meeting with family  
{Debra Heine} ~ On ABC News' This Week Sunday, Hilly Clinton was asked by host George Stephanopoulos if she had told family members of the victims of the Benghazi terrorist attacks that a YouTube video was responsible for their loved ones' deaths... It was an important question to ask because a) we now know thanks to recently released emails that on the night of the attacks Clinton understood perfectly well that it was a terrorist attack; b) several family members have publicly claimed that she blamed the video in meetings with them three days later; and c) Clinton invoked the video during her public remarks that same day. Although President nObama, then-White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, and then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice also peddled the false YouTube video narrative publicly for weeks, Hilly is the only one who pushed the lie directly to the families. She  answered the question by saying "no" in direct contradiction to the family members' explicit claims.        https://pjmedia.com/trending/2015/12/10/hillary-clinton-denies-she-blamed-the-video-when-meeting-with-benghazi-families

 nObama Violated Federal Law with Bergdahl Exchange  
{Stephen Kruiser} ~ The nObama administration hits just keep on coming... A House Armed Services Committee report set to be released Thursday accuses the nObama administration of misleading Congress and violating federal law during a controversial prisoner exchange. The report compiled by the GOP majority charges that the administration did so when it bypassed Congress in negotiating the exchange of five Taliban prisoners for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was being held in Afghanistan. They suggested that the White House had put politics and expediency ahead of proper procedure in making the deal. This is the same administration that put politics and expediency ahead of common sense when "ending" the war in Iraq, so this is really no surprise. This president puts politics ahead of everything. If the Republicans are against it, national security be damned. The quickest way to get rid of nObamacare may be to have every Republican in Congress embrace it.

 Shut The Govt Down Rather Than Fund Obama’s Invasion  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ The US Senate has passed by a voice vote a short-term spending bill to fund the government until Wednesday, providing House leaders seeking to slip the Paul Ryan “Holiday” gift [he wouldn’t accept a Christmas gift] to Hussein nObama... with the time they need to get the dirty deed done. Ryan’s gift, which fund’s the nObama agenda for two years and rewards his own cash dispensing masters at the same time, will also include full funding for the nObama Islamic Invasion. At a minimum, the army of ten thousand “Syrian refugees” will be funded, but there will also be Islamists from other terrorist nations, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Sudan, that will be imported to fill the recruitment needs of the nObama/Ryan caliphate. Speaking specifically to that issue, Senator Jeff Sessions said on December 1st, “Not only will the President be allowed to bring in the 85,000 refugees he has announced on top of current record immigration levels, but this will include at least 10,000 refugees from Syria who will subsequently be able to bring in their foreign relatives.”       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23463

 China Flight Tests Multi-Warhead Missile  
{Bill Gertz} ~ China conducted a flight test of a new multi-warhead ballistic missile capable of reaching targets throughout the United States, Pentagon officials said... The test of the new DF-41 intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, took place Dec. 4. The latest flight test demonstrated the use of two multiple independently-targetable reentry vehicles. The missile launch and dummy warheads were tracked by satellites to an impact range in western China. It was the second flight test this year of the new missile and the fifth since 2012. U.S. intelligence assessments suggest that the missile will be capable of carrying between three and 10 warheads. The two most recent missile flight tests took place Aug. 6, also with two dummy warheads, and on Dec. 13, 2014.

 nObama, Johnson and Clinton Shut Down Investigation...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Philip Haney is a whistleblower and former DHS employee who says he was pulled off of an investigation into terrorists in the interest of political correctness and to avoid offending Muslims, with what were very deadly consequences... Haney’s work included the developing information and the monitoring and tracking of terrorists and their affiliated mosques and groups inside the United States. That included cases and information related to the two terrorists who killed fourteen innocent people in San Bernardino. Haney details that, after noticing a trend of people with suspected ties to radicalization coming into the United States, he began looking into a collection of global networks which were attempting to infiltrate Islamic terrorists into America.

 Gowdy Versus Control Freak DHS No-Nothing, Grabbing Guns...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ While she might not be as dumb as a box of federal rocks and may in fact be qualified according to the criteria established by the criminals in DHS management to hold her position... Beyond simply being a lockstep open borders liberal, it is clear that she provides the appearance of being a know-nothing bimbo. As we know, in many cases the perception does have a way of intruding upon the reality. The witness, who admits to being capable of providing only limited information, Ms Burriesci, works at DHS, the open borders people who, along with the State Department, brought terrorism and a flood of illegals to our soil. She doesn’t seem concerned by that fact and is quite comfortable defending gun-grabbing the gun-grabbing of the despotic nObama regime she represents. Rep Trey Gowdy has a few questions for the little girl who wants to control us. He asks, as a base point of reference, how many visa over-stayers there are in the United States. She reminds the Congressman she’s already not answered that question, that she doesn’t have that statistics with her.         http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23478

 The Muslim Brotherhood Has Taken Over the White House  
{Dave Hodges} ~ It is one thing for people of Islamic faith to serve the American government out of a sense of duty, honor and patriotism... It is quite another for people of any faith with ties to known terrorist organizations to be allowed to serve in highly secure and sensitive positions involving people with clear ties to a major terrorist organization. In this context, I am speaking about people holding key positions, many of them inside of the Department of Homeland Security, who are tied to the extremist terrorist group known as the Muslim Brotherhood. And when the Commander-In-Chief is one of these individuals, America has a duty to speak out and take steps to force the government to remove these individuals, with very questionable loyalties, from office.        http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2015/12/07/the-muslim-brotherhood-has-taken-over-the-white-house/

 Islamic State Manifesto Details Paris Attacks, Expansion Plans  
{John Rossomando} ~ Terrorists behind last month's Paris attacks modeled their assault on tactics developed by Al-Qaida in Iraq, now the Islamic State (ISIS), during the Iraq War, according to a new Islamic State manifesto... "Black Flags From the Islamic State. "Originally disclosed last week by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), the 130-page ebook details the extensive planning that went into the Paris attacks and describes how plotters evaded detection by Western intelligence. Other aspects of the manifesto detail the history of the Islamic State's emergence from Al-Qaida, its plans for the future, and how it operates. The Paris attacks, which left 130 people dead, were enabled by at least 200 operatives in undisclosed locations who worked for two months, the ebook claims. Some lived near the Belgian-German border and in other European countries. Salah Abdel Salam, the surviving attacker, escaped by using a route through Eastern Europe and Turkey to Islamic State territory that was established in advance in case the plot was thwarted, "Black Flags From the Islamic State" says.       http://www.investigativeproject.org/5093/islamic-state-manifesto-details-paris-attacks

America's pathological denial of reality

.
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ How much lower will America sink before it regains its senses? Wednesday, two Muslims walked into a Christmas party at a community service center in San Bernardino, California where one worked. They were wearing body armor and video cameras and carrying automatic rifles, pipe bombs and pistols. They opened fire, killed 14, and wounded 21.
.
The murderers, Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik were killed by police.
.
Speaking to the Daily News, Farook’s father said his son, “was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”
.
Farook’s neighbor told the paper that over the past two years, Farook exchanged his Western dress for Islamic gowns and grew a beard.
.
These data points lead naturally to the conclusion that Farook and his wife were jihadists who killed in order to kill in the name of Islam.
.
But in America of December 2015, natural conclusions are considered irresponsible, at best.
.
In an interview with CNN following the shooting, US President Barack nObama said the massacre demonstrates that the US needs stricter gun laws. As for the motives of the shooters, nObama shrugged. “We don’t yet know the motives of the shooters,” he insisted.
.
In other words, while ignoring what in all likelihood drove Farooq and his wife to murder innocent people, nObama laid responsibility for the carnage at the feet of his political opponents who reject his demands for stricter limitations on gun ownership.
.
Here is the place to note that California has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the US.
.
According to the victims, Farook and his partners were able to reload their weapons and shoot without interruption for several minutes until the police arrived because there was no one to stop them.
.
nObama wasn’t alone in deflecting attention away from the likely motivations of the murderers.
.
Wednesday evening, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), held a press conference at the Islamic Center of Orange County. Farook’s brother in law, Farhan Khan was carted out before the cameras to tell the world that he for one had no idea why his brother in law opened fire.
.
Two other speakers at the event were Hussam Auyloush, CAIR’s regional executive director and Muzammil Siddiqi, the director of the Islamic Society of Orange County.
.
Auyloush insisted that he had no idea would could have possibly prompted Farook and his wife to murder those gathered at the center. Auyloush raised the prospect that they could have been mentally ill, or perhaps they just didn’t like the victims, or maybe they were garden-variety extremists.
.
For his part, Siddiqi insisted that Islam had nothing to do with the shooters’ decision to murder innocent people, (how he could be so certain, is unknown).
.
Siddiqi added that he hopes law enforcement bodies will conduct a full investigation into the “people and motives,” behind the attack.
.
To a degree, the very fact that Siddiqi had no compunction about stepping in front of the cameras just hours after the attack is proof that the US has lost its way.
.
If American elites were even semi-competent, Siddiqi would have faded into the shadows, never to emerge again 15 years ago.
.
Siddiqi is a known jihadist sympathizer. His close ties to jihadists have been a matter of public record since 2000.
.
In October 2000, Siddiqi spoke at an anti-Israel rally in Lafayette Park in Washington, DC. There he warned the American people that they must abandon their support for Israel lest “the wrath of G0D ” be unleashed against them.
.
According to a profile of Siddiqi compiled by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, (IPT) in the late 1990s Siddiqi gave a speech extolling jihad and foreseeing Israel’s replacement with an Islamic state.
.
Among other things, Siddiqi said, “In order to gain the honor, jihad is the path, jihad is the way to receive the honor.”
.
Siddiqi converted Osama bin Laden’s senior aide, American jihadist Adam Gadahn. Gadahn converted to Islam at the Islamic Center of Orange County in 1995. According to a 2007 New Yorker profile, Siddiqi employed Gadahn at the Center in the years following his conversion. It was during this period that Gadahn was radicalized. He then went to Pakistan and joined al Qaida.
.
In 1992 Siddiqi hosted a blind sheikh named Omar Abdel Rahman at the Islamic Center. He stood beside Rahman and simultaneously translated his lecture about jihad to the audience of worshipers.
.
The next year, Rahman masterminded the first jihadist attack on the World Trade Center.
.
During the 1990s, Siddiqi served as the president of the Islamic Society of North America, a known Muslim Brotherhood front group. In 2007, ISNA was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holyland terror financing trial.
.
Despite all of his connections to jihadists, US authorities insist that Siddiqi is a legitimate voice. In 2007 Stephen Tidwell, then assistant director of the FBI division in Los Angeles upheld Siddiqi as a moderate.
.
Speaking to the IPT, Tidwell said, “We have a very strong relationship with Dr. Siddiqi.”
.
Hours before nObama responded to the San Bernadino massacre by lashing out at gun control opponents, Col. Steve Warren, spokesman for US Operation Inherent Resolve – the US campaign against Islamic State – rejected Russian claims that the Turkish government is collaborating with the terror state.
.
Warren praised the Turks as “great partners to us.”
.
“We flatly reject any notion that the Turks are somehow working with Islamic State. That is preposterous,” he insisted, adding, “Any thought” the Turkish government would deal or collaborate with Islamic State is “completely untrue.”
.
Unfortunately, a wealth of evidence indicates that it is Warren’s statement that is preposterous and completely untrue.
.
For nearly five years, it has been an open secret that Turkey serves as Islamic State’s logistical base. Almost all the foreigners traveling to Syria to join IS transit through Turkey.
.
For nearly two years, we have known that Turkey is Islamic State’s major arms supplier. And for six months we have known that they are their partners in oil exports.
.
In an article published this past summer in Middle East Quarterly, Burak Bekdil reported in January 2014, Turkish prosecutors acting independently from the government, dispatched forces to a border province with Syria to intercept a convoy of trucks laden with missiles, rockets and ammunition making its way to Syria. One of the truck drivers testified at the time that he and his colleagues had “carried similar loads several times before.”
.
The forces charged with seizing the cargo were shocked to discover the trucks were being escorted by Turkish intelligence officers.
.
According to Bekdil, “all hell broke loose,” after the prosecutors ordered the men arrested and the cargo seized.
.
The provincial governor swooped in and insisted that the convoy was traveling on direct orders from Turkish leader Recep Tayip Erdogan. Months later, the military took over the case. And today, the men who executed the arrests and cargo seizure are on trial for “international espionage.”
.
Bekdil reported that two months after the cargo was intercepted, a meeting took place between then foreign minister and current Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, his deputy, Feridun Sinirlioglu, the head of Turkish intelligence, Hakan Fidan and deputy chief of the Turkish general staff, Gen. Yasar Guler.
.
A recording of the meeting was leaked to social media. In the recording, Fidan is heard saying that “he had successfully sent two thousand trucks into Syria before.”
.
As to Islamic State oil sales to Turkey, this past May, US special forces executed their first known raid inside Syria. The commandos descended on the home of Islamic State’s financial chief Abu Sayyaf. US forces killed Sayyaf and seized his computers and hard drives.
.
Sayyaf directed Islamic State’s oil, gas and financial operations.
.
Last July the Guardian reported that the computer data revealed close, direct dealings between Turkish officials and Islamic State members. According to one senior Western official familiar with the contents of the documents, just from what had been uncovered in the initial study of the material, “the links between Islamic State and the Turkish government are already so clear that they could end up having profound policy implications for the relationship between us and Ankara.”
.
Yet Wednesday, in the face of an overwhelming mountain of evidence, the Americans rejected out-of-hand Russians allegations that Turkey is the main consumer of oil exports from Islamic State.
.
This past July, two senior Defense Intelligence Agency analysts assigned to US Central Command submitted a formal complaint to the Defense Department’s inspector general. The two claimed that their intelligence reports on Islamic State were doctored and distorted as they made their way up the feeding chain to nObama. Fifty intelligence analysts have stated their agreement with the allegations in the complaint.
.
The doctored reports systematically rendered portraits of the US campaign against Islamic State as successful and Islamic State as a nearly spent force, along the lines of the narrative presented by nObama and his advisors. According to the analysts, the picture painted by the doctored reports bore little resemblance to their far more negative conclusions.
.
According to the Daily Beast’s report, intelligence analysts began complaining to their superiors about the distortion of their reports in October 2014. Some of those analysts were urged to retire early, and some did.
.
According to the publication, “one person who knows the contents of the written complaint… said it used the word ‘Stalinist’ to describe the tone set by officials overseeing CENTCOM analysis.”
.
Following the jihadist attacks on Paris on November 13, nObama maintained his insistence that climate change is a graver threat to US national security than terrorism. It could be that this prioritization of concerns is playing a role in the administration’s apparent determination not to seriously fight Islamic State.
.
In an interview with Charlie Rose last month, former CIA director Michael Morell explained that the administration decided not to bomb Islamic State’s oil infrastructure “because we didn’t want to do environmental damage.”
.
According to the Guardian, Islamic State makes between one to four million dollars per day from oil sales.
.
Perhaps the shooters in San Bernadino were just mad at their boss. Maybe Farooq suffered from clinical depression or ADD, or PTSD, or something.
.
And maybe Islamic State, with its new colony Sirte in “liberated” Libya, just 400 miles from Italy, is on the run. Maybe as well, Turkey is just a patsy and Russia is really Islamic State’s largest trading partner, or maybe Israel is, or Ireland.
.
But if facts are to be taken seriously, then the fact is that in December 2015, the US is acting with pathological devotion to ideological narratives that bear no relationship to reality.

 U.S. Borders Present 'Significant' Terrorist Pipelines  
The nObama administration's lax border security and unquestioning acceptance of everyone who wishes to enter the U.S. is no longer just a question of immigration policy. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) told an audience at the National Defense University Monday that the Islamic State has tried to use the refugee program to enter America. "I can reveal today that the United States government has information to indicate that individuals tied to terrorist groups in Syria have already attempted to gain access to our country through the U.S. refugee program," McCaul said.
          Last week, a report from the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee found that violent jihadists could easily cross the borders with Canada and Mexico. There are reports of an Islamic State training camp in Mexico, and the Canadian government's policies toward Syrian immigrants could provide a pathway for Islamic State militants to simply travel south and hop across the U.S.-Canadian border. "Security observers have argued that Canada represents a substantial vulnerability, because it provides immigrant visas to individuals who pose a significant threat." the Senate's report read. "Witnesses testified before the committee that if someone gets into Canada, they will most likely be able to enter the U.S."
          This is not an unfounded fear. Judicial Watch reported a group of five men were arrested along the U.S.-Mexico border at the beginning of December. They were of Middle Eastern decent, and Border Patrol agents discovered "stainless steel cylinders in backpacks," Judicial Watch said. McCaul suggested refugees — by definition people who want to return to their homes — should shelter under a no-fly zone in Syria enforced by the countries battling the Islamic State. But that would require a strategy from the nObama administration. But instead, the director of the Department of Homeland Security held a press conference Monday with the ADAMS Center, an Islamic group that has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. nObama keeps sending all the wrong messages.  -The Patriot Post

 Trumping Immigration Again  
We've warned of Barack nObama's jihadi pipeline and the Syrian refugee Trojan horse, and everyone saw the carnage wrought by two fanatical Muslims in San Bernardino. But Donald Trump just took the debate to the next level in calling for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on." Whatever the latter part of that means. Less than a full day after nObama's pathetic national address on his plan to keep doing all the things that allowed the Islamic State to flourish in the first place, Trump's was a calculated but cynical media play designed to gain attention and set the negotiating line as far in his direction as possible ("Art of the Deal," anyone?). Perhaps it was because Ted Cruz has now taken the lead in Iowa and Trump needed a boost. In any case, his declaration had the intended effect: Every media outlet went after every Republican they could find to see who would denounce the party's presidential frontrunner. And just about all of them obliged. How could they not?
          So instead of unifying the nation — or even just the Republican Party — Trump's comments have created more infighting. That isn't to say there's not some good reason for that, given the sense of many Americans that no one in Washington is doing anything remotely close to what's best for the country, all while bowing to the demands of political correctness. Unfortunately, the worst part is that Trump has now erected the very straw man nObama looked so foolish fighting on Sunday night. In doing so, Trump makes nObama look more reasonable by comparison.  -The Patriot Post

 SCOTUS Declines 'Assault Weapons' Ban Case  
Second Amendment rights continue to face legal challenges. The latest setback comes from the Supreme Court, which rejected a challenge to a ban on so-called "assault weapons." Highland Park, Illinois, enacted a ban in 2013 based on the following criteria, as reported by The Hill: "any semi‐automatic gun that can accept a large‐capacity magazine and has one of five other features: a pistol grip without a stock; a folding, telescoping, or thumb hole stock; a grip for the non‐trigger hand; a barrel shroud; or a muzzle brake or compensator. Some weapons, such as the AR‐15 and AK‐47, are prohibited by name." The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ban against a challenge from Arie Friedman and the Illinois State Rifle Association. And on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
          In an unusual step, Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas voiced opposition to the Court's move. Thomas wrote, "The Court's refusal to review a decision that flouts two of our Second Amendment precedents stands in marked contrast to the Court's willingness to summarily reverse courts that disregard our other constitutional decisions." To do so, he argued, gives blessing to a lower court decision that "eviscerates many of the protections recognized in Heller and McDonald." For example, weapons in "common use" was key to the Court's previous gun rulings, and it's hard to argue that semiautomatic rifles don't fit that description, even if they do have extra-scary features like pistol grips and folding stocks that have no effect on functionality.
          "If a broad ban on firearms can be upheld based on conjecture that the public might feel safer (while being no safer at all), then the Second Amendment guarantees nothing," Thomas wrote. He concluded that the Seventh Circuit is guilty of "relegating the Second Amendment to a second-class right," and SCOTUS did nothing to stand for Rule of Law.   -The Patriot Post

 Redefining the 'War on Women'  
Defense Secretary Ash Carter has announced that women will soon be permitted to take any position in the U.S. military, including combat roles. Until now, more than 200,000 jobs were limited to men. "This means that as long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before," Carter said. "They'll be able to drive tanks, give orders, lead infantry soldiers into combat."
          The change applies to all service branches. Carter concluded, "There will be no exceptions."
          The New York Times' opening line got it right, terming the announcement a “historic transformation of the American military.” Unfortunately, much like the nObama administration’s transformation of the health care system, the change is unlikely to be for the better.
          The arguments presented in defense of the announcement are telling. Virtually all of the points had to do with how the decision will make the military more “fair” and will empower and provide new opportunities for women to reach their potential. Yet as the Presidential Commission on the Assignment of Women in the Armed Forces warned when it published its final report in 1992, “Risking the lives of a military unit in combat to provide career opportunities or accommodate the personal desires or interests of an individual, or group of individuals, is more than bad military judgment. It is morally wrong.”
          We'll see if women feel empowered if the U.S. government institutes another draft.   -The Patriot Post

 Muslim Brotherhood’s Influence on nObama & ...
{Paul Dowling} ~ Reporters were “storming into the apartment of the San Bernardino terrorists, less than 48 hours after the jihad attack there,” writes Joel Pollack of Breitbart... The Federal Bureau of Investigation “handed the apartment back over to the landlord, who let the media in with a crowbar.”  To many Americans, this decision—on the part of our Executive—demonstrates a lack of competence.  It was not. Pollack knows this.  “While the journalists’ behavior was disturbing,” he writes, “it fit a pattern: the nObama administration is careless about, or is reluctant to find, evidence of terrorism.”  It would have seemed incredible only a few years ago, but the fact is that our Islamic enemies are now attacking us from within the White House.  The name of the Muslim Brotherhood’s game is infiltration.  And that is exactly what the Brotherhood has been successful in doing, with help from none other than their friend, Barack Hussein nObama. All of these staffers are jihadist Muslims who promoted the removal of anti-jihad language from the manuals of US military branches, the FBI, the CIA, et cetera.  They also play a role in instructing the Attorney General’s office on the framing of legal directives, such as Loretta Lynch’s recent anti-First-Amendment directive to Americans not to criticize Islam in any way that “edges toward violence,” threatening to prosecute those who disobey this dictate.  This means anybody who tells the truth about Islam could be accused of upsetting Muslims enough to cause another terrorist attack.  It is the strategy of America’s Left to blame the victims, rather than violent criminals—which is what every Muslim jihadist is.         http://eaglerising.com/27263/the-muslim-brotherhoods-influence-on-president-obama-its-connection-to-the-jihad/

 Benghazi: DOD rescuers were ready to move but ignored by Clinton  
{Jim Kouri CPP} ~ ‘Hilly, why did you wipe your server clean? Did you delay so you could get rid of evidence? If you did, it’s called obstruction and tampering, and, by the way, I don’t know what took the FBI so long to try to get it... But Hilly, if that server has been scrubbed so clean, that even FBI experts cannot reconstruct your emails, that tells me you did everything you possibly could to prevent anyone from knowing what you were doing while you were our secretary of state. My verdict, based on the evidence, is guilty.’ – Former judge and prosecutor Jeanine Pirro. According to a group representing former special forces soldiers and sailors, Judicial Watch released a new Benghazi email from then-Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash to State Department leadership immediately offering “forces that could move to Benghazi” during the terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012.        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/benghazi-email-dod-rescuers-were-ready-to-move-but-ignored-by-clinton-state-dept/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email120915&utm_medium=email

 'Hilly for prosecution, not president'  
{wnd.com} ~ With the possibility fading of Barack nObama’s Justice Department prosecuting the inevitable Democratic Party presidential nominee, a new independent campaign has arisen to expose Hilly Clinton’s criminal actions and prosecute her at the state level... It’s called the Hilly Clinton Investigative Justice Project, and it was conceived by two veteran investigative journalists who plan to take their findings to state attorneys general in jurisdictions in which the nonprofit, tax-exempt Clinton Family Foundation does business. “The Clinton Family Foundation is effectively a criminal, money-laundering operation principally established to enrich the founders with political payoff money, including millions from foreign donors,” said Joseph Farah, founder and chief executive officer of WND. “It’s a racketeering enterprise protected by the Democratic Party dons – including the president of the United States and his attorney general.”

 Justice Dept. sued over deleted Clinton emails  
{SARAH WESTWOOD} ~ A reporter whose Freedom of Information Act litigation forced the State Department to release all copies of Hilly Clinton's private emails at the end of each month is now turning his focus to the Justice Department... which is leading an investigation into Clinton's private server. Jason Leopold, a reporter with Vice News, sued the Department of Justice Tuesday over an unanswered FOIA request for copies of Clinton's emails that were recovered off her private server. The FBI took Clinton's server into custody in August after a pair of inspectors general warned that the former secretary of state may have transmitted material classified as high as "top secret" on her private email network.       http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/justice-sued-over-deleted-clinton-emails/article/2577869

 Senator Smacks Down nObama’s Paris Climate Summit Pledges  
{William F. Jasper and Alex Newman} ~  For die-hard global warming militants, there are few villains in the rogue’s gallery of “deniers” more hated than U.S. Senator James Inhofe... As chairman of the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee, a committee he has served on since coming to the Senate in 1994, the Oklahoma Republican has long been recognized as their leading nemesis in Congress. At past UN climate change summits, Senator Inhofe has appeared in person as a “One-Man Truth Squad” to challenge the bogus “consensus” that “the science is settled,” and to warn of the horrendous economic, social, and environmental consequences that a global climate treaty would inflict on the world. In the lead-up to the current Paris summit, there was much speculation in the media as to whether or not he would show up to “crash” the UN party. As it turns out, Sen. Inhofe did show up in Paris, but not in person; instead he sent a video message, which was played at the alternative “Climate Realism” conference being held in Paris by the Heartland Institute, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).       http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/22106-senator-inhofe-smacks-down-obama-s-paris-climate-summit-pledges?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Senator%20Inhofe%20Smacks%20Down%20Obama%26rsquo%3Bs%20Paris%20Climate%20Summit%20Pledge&utm_campaign=Senator%20Inhofe%20Smacks%20Down%20Obama%E2%80%99s%20Paris%20Climate%20Summit%20Pledgescontent

 Russian FSB Defector Reveals Kremlin Supports ISIS  
{Christian Gomez} ~ On December 6, 2015, in a televised interview with the Ukrainian news program ТСН Тиждень (TSN Tyzhden, Ukrainian for TSN Weekly), a former FSB officer admitted that Russia is behind ISIS while ostensibly opposing it... Former FSB officer codenamed "Yevgeniy" (shown, back toward camera) revealed that Russia's FSB security services was, at the very least, complicit in the Paris attacks carried out by ISIS, and most shockingly that the FSB was involved in the creation of ISIS, which it influences through its agents who staff it as well as other related Islamic terrorist organizations. Yevgeniy reportedly specialized in both terrorist organizations and counter-terrorism activities within the FSB. Defecting for personal reasons rather than ideological, Yevgeniy told TSN's Andriy Tsaplienko that among the vast number of refugees entering Europe were certain Russian operatives whose task it was to infiltrate the Muslim communities. Financed by the FSB, these undercover Muslim operatives would rise to prominence within their respective communities, in turn providing the Kremlin with valuable intelligence of Muslim activates in Europe and allowing Moscow to exert influence over the communities.

 Grading the Trans-Pacific Partnership on trade  
{Derek Scissors} ~ The Trans-Pacific Partnership has severe weaknesses as a trade agreement. It offers both commercial and diplomatic benefits, but its value is undermined by the extensive set of nonconforming measures... by rules of origin that risk blocking gains from both the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and future deals, and by grossly inadequate treatment of state-owned enterprises. These and other flaws limit the TPP and, perhaps more important, set precedents that will interfere with free trade and harm the interests of the United States. The stakes are high: the TPP could serve as the governing instrument for most global trade for the next two decades. The TPP itself will initially have only a small impact on the American economy, because the US already has trade agreements with 6 of the 11 other parties. It has potential to expand, however, to South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and others. Because it represents the latest American positions, the TPP will function to some extent as the basis for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Through competition, it could potentially raise the standards of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, an alternative, less ambitious Asia grouping. With the World Trade Organization (WTO) unable to reach consensus on further reforms, the TPP offers the best chance for global liberalization.     http://www.aei.org/publication/grading-the-trans-pacific-partnership-on-trade/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=121015

 U.S. Arms Sales to Taiwan Will Strain Relations With Beijing  
{John Grady} ~ The Taiwanese presidential elections next month — with a change in party control expected and the likely announcement of a new billion-dollar U.S. arms sale to Taipei — will not only “send a signal to Beijing” but likely will... in the short run, increase tensions between Washington and the People’s Republic of China, a panel of experts on the region said Wednesday. Speaking at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C., Ian Easton, a research fellow at Project 2049, said the reported U.S. sales under the Taiwan Relations Act likely will include up to four Perry-class frigates, amphibious assault vehicles, Boeing Apache helicopters and a variety of missiles for Taiwan’s army. No formal package has yet been sent to Congress, so the exact dollar amount requested and numbers and types of equipment are not publicly known.

 America needs to start profiling like Israeli Security  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ The attack in San Bernardino wasn’t the first nor will it be the last little by little the ominous black cloud of radical Muslim terrorism is moving across this great country of ours... There are so many precautions our government should be doing but instead they are sitting on their hand. Part of protecting us is a fence to secure the border and to track who comes into the country on visas. As previously discussed a fence bill was passed by congress, and a computer program was developed and being tested, however each was put on hold after Barack nObama moved into the White House. Allow me to suggest that before it is too late, we need toss out the entire TSA system and all the employees and managers. We hire new people and begin to screen passengers and people in airports, bus and train stations the “Israeli way.” This means hiring agents based on their intelligence and their ability to behavior profile and profiling passengers as they make their way through the airport and/or depot.

 Ex-Guantanamo detainee now an al Qaeda leader in Yemen  
{THOMAS JOSCELYN} ~ Well Obama freed a guy who had been Osama Bin Laden’s driver and cook, and you won’t believe what he’s up to now!!... In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012. Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders. Qosi and other AQAP commanders discussed their time waging jihad at length in the video, entitled “Guardians of Sharia.” Islamic scholars ensure the “correctness” of the “jihadist project,” according to Qosi. And the war against America continues through “individual jihad,” which al Qaeda encourages from abroad. Here, Qosi referred to al Qaeda’s policy of encouraging attacks by individual adherents and smaller terror cells. Indeed, AQAP’s video celebrates jihadists who have acted in accordance with this call, such as the Kouachi brothers, who struck Charlie Hebdo’s offices in Paris earlier this year. The Kouachi brothers’ operation was sponsored by AQAP.       http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2015/12/ex-guantanamo-detainee-now-an-al-qaeda-leader-in-yemen.php

CAIR Effect: 
See Something, Do Nothing
Michelle Malkin
.
{townhall.com} ~ As news of the San Bernardino jihadist shootings blared on airport TVs, I spotted a TSA monitor flashing the now ubiquitous message:
.
"If you SEE something, SAY something."
.
The warning should be followed with a big "LOL" and a winky-blinky, just-kidding emoji. It's one of the emptiest slogans in modern American life.
.
While the White House pays lip service to homeland security vigilance, it consorts with Islamic terror sympathizers who attack vigilant citizens and law enforcement officers at every turn.
.
Yes, I'm looking at you, Council on American-Islamic Relations.
.
After seeing CAIR's bizarre press conference with the San Bernardino jihadists' family members, here's what I'd like to say to them:
.
You are not to be trusted. You put damage control above border control and jihad control. You are enemies of our national security and sovereignty.
.
Reminder: The feds designated CAIR an unindicted terror co-conspirator in 2007 in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation and others for providing support to Hamas jihadists. Over the alleged objections of Dallas-area federal prosecutors, the nObama Justice Department's senior political appointees declined to press terror-financing charges against CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad.
.
Instead, the administration has rolled out the red carpet for CAIR officials "hundreds" of times since 2009 on a "range of issues."
.
This is the same group of "Islamophobia!"-shrieking grievance grifters that cooked up the Ahmed "Clock Boy" Mohamed brouhaha in Texas, where the city of Irving and Irving Independent School District are now being sued for $15 million after raising alarms over the teen's low-tech media stunt. nObama hailed Mohamed before the boy jetted off to Qatar to cash in on a Muslim Brotherhood-linked educational scholarship.
.
This is the same group of litigious radicals who unsuccessfully sued a Florida gun shop owner this summer for declaring that he would refuse to sell weapons to "anyone who is either directly or indirectly associated with terrorism in any way." A judge ruled this week that "there are simply no facts grounding the assertion that Plaintiff (CAIR) and/or one of its constituents will be harmed." CAIR is appealing, of course.
.
This is the same group of treacherous thugs that squelched critics of Somalia-based jihad group al-Shabab in Minnesota. CAIR smeared whistleblowing Muslims who participated in an educational Minneapolis forum on al-Shabab terrorism and youth gangs as "anti-Muslim." In 2013, the uncle of a missing young Muslim radical testified before Congress about CAIR's efforts to pressure families to impede FBI investigations.
.
"CAIR held meetings for some members of the community and told them not to talk to the FBI," Abdirizak Bihi told lawmakers, "which was a slap in the face for the Somali American Muslim mothers who were knocking on doors day and night with pictures of their missing children and asking for the community to talk to law enforcement about what they know of the missing kids."
.
This is the same group of free speech-trampling zealots that bombarded private citizen, Zaba Davis, with harassing subpoenas over her opposition to a planned construction project by the Muslim Community Association and Michigan Islamic Academy. A federal judge called CAIR's anti-free speech witch hunt "chilling" and ordered the outfit to pay $9,000 in legal fees.
.
This is the same manipulative group of controversy-manufacturing instigators who tried to sue "John Does" -- innocent American citizens who alerted the authorities about their security concerns -- in 2007 after a group of imams falsely claimed they were discriminated against on a Minneapolis flight.
.
And this is the same dangerous group of jihad enablers that filed an obstructionist lawsuit to block vigilant Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from quizzing Muslim border-crossers about their ties to jihadist martyrs and radical mosques. The anti-"racial profiling" lawsuit has dragged on for three years.
.
Little wonder, then, that in this politically correct climate of intimidation, a neighbor of the San Bernardino jihadists told local media this week that he had "noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people."

 Hilly still says no to term ‘radical Islam’ -  Fox News: “Democratic presidential front-runner Hilly Clinton  declined  Sunday to say that a ‘radical’ form of Islam is behind terror attacks connected to the Islamic State and other such attacks committed by fringe members of the Muslim religion. ‘I don't want to do that because, No. 1, it doesn't do justice to the vast numbers of Muslims in our own country and around the world who are peaceful people,’ she told ABC’s ‘This Week.’”  -Fox News

 HATCH LAYS OUT PLAN ON nOBAMACARE REPEAL 
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, gives Chris Stirewalt his first reaction to the successful gambit by Senate Republicans to advance a measure to repeal nObamaCare, a cause Hatch has championed since the law was passed. While nObama will surely veto the measure, Hatch says that there will be real repercussions – particularly if the GOP can pull off a presidential victory in 2016. Hatch, the longest-serving Senate Republican and chairman of the powerful Finance Committee, discusses where the road goes from here. WATCH HERE.

 NOT THE KIND OF SUPER PAC ATTENTION HE WAS  HOPING FOR 
Pro-GOP group America Rising is having some fun with Colorado Sen.Michael Bennet who the group says posted unedited shots of himself campaigning in what seems to be an attempt to indirectly coordinate with outside groups making ads on his behalf. Bennet is a vulnerable incumbent Democrat, and has been vocal opponent of outside money in campaigns.
          America Rising took him up on the offer to use the video to make an attack ad targeting the Bennet on his support for nObamaCare, which is blamed for huge insurance coverage disruptions in the state, and the president’s now infamous “if you like it, you can keep it” pledge.
          “Sen. Bennet is apparently soliciting Super PAC assistance and America Rising is happy to help get the facts out about his record,” said America Rising Press Secretary Amelia Chassé said in a statement. “Sen. Bennet betrayed the people of Colorado when he repeated President nObama’s lie that Americans could keep their doctor under nObamacare.”

 Iran Lied About Its Nuclear Interests  
{Trey Sanchez} ~ The Associated Press has learned that Iran has been lying about its past interest in manufacturing nuclear weapons... Conservative writer for The Washington Post Jennifer Rubin called the revelation, "another sign we've been had" by the nuclear deal the nObama administration struck with Iran. She pointed to the AP report, released while American attention was diverted to the terrorist attack in California, that explains how Iran has "consistently denied" any involvement in planning or in the manufacturing of nuclear weapons. However, according to the United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), "a range of activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device were conducted in Iran prior to the end of 2003 as a coordinated effort, and some activities took place [up to 2009]." "In other words," Rubin writes, "we know definitively that Iran lied about its prior efforts to build a nuclear weapon."

 Memo to our next president  
{Jon Kyl and Joseph Lieberman} ~ Dear Mr./Madam President... It is January 2017: You have before you a critical opportunity — and an imperative — to renew America’s leadership role in world affairs. History has shown that when the president makes a case to the American people, they listen. You will hear that now is a moment of unprecedented division and partisan anger. You will hear that any major decision will be met with hostility from one — or more — political party. We’re here to tell you it isn’t so — or need not be so — at least not in the world of national security. It is not simply the outrage at terrorist attacks like those in Paris, the Sinai Peninsula, Beirut and elsewhere that binds us. Nor is it the increased assertiveness of Russia in Ukraine, or China in the South China Sea, that has united us behind a common cause. Liberals, moderates, conservatives, Republicans, Democrats and independents can come together and agree that America must lead — and truly lead — in the world. We know, because we have spent the last two years with just such a group. The American Internationalism Project, which we chair, brought together Washington think tank scholars across the political spectrum, current and former government officials, and many others, to rebuild a new consensus for American leadership in the world. It is a model for what can be done when we focus on our national interests, our global priorities and our shared morality.        http://www.aei.org/publication/memo-to-our-next-president/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=120815

During his initial campaign for the presidency in 2008 he said he would "transform" the country from its very foundation. People who had graduated high school no later than the 1960s knew full well what that meant. After that time period the essential dumbing-down of America's student children began in earnest. nObama was not shy with his meaning that the USA had to be destroyed at its core and then rebuilt in what would become his and Islam's image. He is doing it and has almost finished his straightforward – if not perverse – mission. The following is a short and very partial list of those things for which nObama is the proudest.

 New Bill Lets States Reject Muslim ‘Refugees’  
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Senator Ted Cruz, who is seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2016, said on Tuesday that he introduced legislation to give governors the ability to opt out of refugee resettlement programs... He believes the federal government has not put priority into creating safety for the American people…so this new bill is necessary. Cruz said that if President Barack nObama wanted to send refugees to any state, his legislation would let its governor refuse to participate, “to conclude that the federal government has not done a sufficient job ensuring that the safety and security of the citizens of the state will be protected.”        http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/12/08/new-bill-lets-states-reject-muslim-refugees/

 Agenda 2030’s Goal #12 Will Exterminate Six Billion People  
{Dave Hodges} ~ Move over, Mao, Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot, there is a new extermination king in town. It is called Agenda 2030... Following the planned economic collapse, Agenda 2030 will enforce the most brutal austerity programs ever conceived of or ever enforced.  Just as it was in the Hunger Games movie, all food, water, and medicine will be rationed. Inhabitants will be forced to take the Mark of the Best, the dreaded but largely unknown RFID chip. We are already witnessing the birth of a cashless society. Soon, cash will be banned. Automation will bring promises of unlimited food production. The public will be sold on the widespread use of robots to achieve this goal. It will be a ruse. The goal is to replace human workers with robots. The globalists will horde the food in order to help wipe out the 'useless eaters' through starvation. Then the population will be forced into a devastating World War III. Subsequently, Ted Turner and the other globalists will be able to achieve their goals of reducing the world's population to a low of 500,000,000.

 nObama’s Trumpophobes Attack  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ As if the boobs running this pathetic terrorist empowering non-war on behalf of America’s anti-American non-president have any credibility... the Defense Department came out on Tuesday with a dismissal of what many view as a common sense review of the reckless, out of control, immigration policies of this foreigner-favoring rogue federal government. A good rule of thumb for many would be, if the military leadership which is allowing itself to be manipulated into a rubber stamp of anti-Americanism by the White House usurper, objects to a position, it’s probably one worthy of serious consideration. On Tuesday Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook, who holds one of those familiar paid liar jobs that permeate the corrupt DC establishment, issued a statement regarding Donald Trump’s position on Islamic immigration into the United States. He said, “Anything that creates tensions and creates the notion that the United States is at odds with the Muslim faith and Islam would be counterproductive to our efforts right now, and totally contrary to our values.” Once again the Islamist-promoting administration is compelled to state American values for those who might be “getting it wrong.”       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23360#prettyPhoto

 Benghazi Cover Up May Include Panetta...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director, Leon Panetta, may have some explaining to do as the result of a FOIA request by Judicial Watch...  which has uncovered an email which contradicts his testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee in February of 2013. The email, from Jeremy Bash, who was at the time serving as Department of Defense Chief of Staff to State Department documents the immediate offering and availability of what are described as “forces that could move to Benghazi” in the moments as the terrorist attack unfolded. This documentation does not mesh with information given in his sworn testimony, adding further to the web of deception that surrounds just what Hilly Clinton and Hussein nObama were up to and America’s role in the collapse of the Middle East and North Africa.       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23367

 Pentagon Offered ‘Forces that Could Move to Benghazi’ Immediately 
{Adam Kredo} ~ Newly released emails show that a senior Defense Department official offered the State Department “forces that could move to Benghazi” immediately during the deadly 2012 attack there on the American consulate... Jeremy Bash, the former Pentagon chief of staff, offered to provide forces at 7:19 p.m. on the evening of the attack, “only hours after they had begun,” according to Judicial Watch, which disclosed the email on Tuesday. “We have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak,” Bash wrote. Portions of the email remain redacted by the nObama administration. “The nObama administration redacted the details of the military forces available, oddly citing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemption that allows the withholding of ‘deliberative process’ information,” according to Judicial Watch.

 Shoveling The nObamalizer – Speaking For ISIS  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ The criminals squatting in the White House have long had an agenda which featured the imposition of creeping Islam and Sharia Law in America as one of the means through which they subvert the US Constitution and attack the United States... Importing a non-assimilating foreign occupying force is also a great way to create division and the disharmony necessary in the fomenting of chaos. The cold-blooded butchery of those different from them that is so idolized by large segments of the Muslim population can’t help but have a negative disunifying effect as well. In a press briefing one reporter asked a question regarding the comparison by Mike Huckabee of Donald Trump’s comments advocating for a suspension in Muslim immigration to FDR’s response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, a comment Huckabee made on the 74th anniversary of the attack.  Huckabee said that the characteristically pandering nObama statement much different from the appropriate response delivered by Roosevelt.

Islamic State's money-makers take a hit

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ By most estimates, the Islamic State is the world's richest terrorist organization. But it appears to be wrestling with money problems that could affect its ability to wage war while trying to govern millions of people in its self-declared caliphate.
.
U.S.-backed forces in Iraq and Syria have retaken significant amounts of territory from the group, depriving it of traditional sources of income, analysts say. Towns and villages that the Islamic State had relied on for tax revenue have been captured by Arab and Kurdish opponents. And lucrative spoils of war, including oil fields, properties to confiscate and captives to ransom off, have become scarcer as the group struggles to seize new areas.
.
"A problem they face is that much of their income over the last two years has been through conquest, confiscation and extortion, and those are all one-time things that aren't sustainable," said Quinn Mecham, an assistant professor of political science at Brigham Young University. "And now they're losing territory, and that makes it difficult to continue to extract revenues. The pressure is on."
.
Information about the Islamic State's finances is murky. But the group's diverse sources of income, which include extortion and antiquities smuggling, have helped it weather more than a year of airstrikes from a U.S.-led coalition, analyst say. The U.S. Treasury Department recently estimated that the militants could be earning $40 million a month from oil sales.
.
Through a complex bureaucracy that uses the threat of violence, including floggings and beheadings, the Islamic State also raises cash by taxing and fining the roughly 6 million to 9 million people in parts of Iraq and Syria who live under its rule.
.
An Islamic State official purportedly told Arabic-language media in January that the group had a 2015 budget of $2 billion. Although likely an exaggerated figure, the group may have accumulated enough cash to run a large budget surplus, said Benjamin Bahney, a terrorism analyst at the Rand Corp.
.
But the Islamic State lost as much as a third of the territory it had controlled in Iraq, including the city of Tikrit and the Baiji oil refinery. Iraq's military and pro-government militias have captured those areas with the help of airstrikes from the U.S.-led coalition. In Syria, too, coalition air support has aided an alliance of Kurdish and Arab forces in seizing from Islamic State militants key areas near the group's self-declared capital of Raqqa.
.
"As it loses control of cities and as its economy suffers because of the war, its tax revenues are reduced," said William McCants, an expert on the militant group at the Brookings Institution.
.
The territorial setbacks also may have compelled the group to turn to terrorism abroad - including the recent attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead - as a way to apply new pressure on its enemies, analysts say. The group, they also say, appears to be shifting resources to reinforce affiliates in other areas of the world, including Libya, possibly to secure a safe haven in case it loses more territory in Syria and Iraq.
.
There are signs that the group might be tightening its budget. Fighters' salaries have been reduced recently, from roughly $400 a month to about $300, said Columb Strack, a Middle East analyst at Jane's Information Group. In addition to a tax system rooted in Islamic law, he said, the group appears to be imposing more fees on everything from farming to mobile phones.
.
Aid programs that benefit the needy in Islamic State areas appear to have been scaled back, causing poverty to deepen, Syrian activists and aid workers say. These areas, they say, are experiencing acute shortages of medicine for chronic diseases such as diabetes, as well as prolonged electricity cuts.
.
Aymenn al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum who studies the Islamic State's finances, said the group took a big hit this summer when Iraq's government stopped paying civil servants living in areas the militants had captured, including the city of Mosul.
.
For months, Iraqi authorities continued to pay the salaries, and the Islamic State taxed that income, earning the group a windfall that some estimates put at tens of millions of dollars a month.
.
Without such easy money, the Islamic State has raised its fees, even on high school registration and textbooks, Tamimi said.
.
"Now, evidence seems to point to hardship in Mosul, and the Islamic State has been resorting to measures to try to deal with the new reality of having to pay those working under its authority who no longer get salaries directly from the Iraqi government," he said.
.
Few expect widespread dissent in Islamic State-controlled areas anytime soon, in large part because of fear of the group's notorious brutality. The threat of violence also prevents many people from fleeing, and war, anemic economies and sectarian-driven politics in neighboring areas prevents others from attempting to leave.
.
Colin P. Clarke, a terrorism analyst at the Rand Corp. think tank, said he expects the group's finances to tighten as the airstrikes intensify. In recent weeks, the U.S.-led coalition has targeted tanker trucks, threatening the Islamic State's ability to transport the oil. British warplanes began bombing targets in Syria on Thursday, striking an Islamic State-controlled oil field in eastern Syria, the BBC reported.
.
Russia, which does not coordinate with the coalition, also has stepped up air raids in the Islamic State's key oil-producing areas in eastern Syria.
.
The Islamic State imposes fees and taxes on refining, shipping and selling oil, which largely is consumed within territory held by the group, analysts say.
.
"There will be a lag in seeing the effects, but in order to keep operations going, the group will likely have to reduce payments and the number of people working for it," Clarke said.
.
That could affect thousands of people, causing local anger to soar and more discontent for the militant group to manage.
.
"It's running a caliphate, so it has salaries to pay and people to keep in jobs. They run bakeries and have to find ways to keep the lights on," he said. "It's a lot to manage."

THE TPP IS THE ECONOMIC SLAVERY FOR ALL.  The oligarchs are the Pro-Free trade and globalization architects of this new system of monopolist predator corporatism. Americans are in complete denial that our country has become a plutocracy run by the oligarchs.  Capitalism in America has fail because corporate America becomes greedy and for the love of money commits their biggest sin and betrays the American working class and transformed them into an economic slave class.  The oligarch’s forces prostitute our Washington politicians.   Since Ronald Reagan, Via the mainstream news media the propaganda machinery of the oligarch and the Republican party neocons, they feed the American people their unchecked misinformation and disinformation, the Republican Party Neocon Elite has even shanghaied the emotional support of everyday ordinary Republican party members and the Americans people into taking this non-sensible political positions against their own best economic and self-interests and supported all of the free trade ill policies that destroyed the American dream.

Today the people is waking up and seeing the results of the free trade policies that were implemented by the puppets of the oligarchs, “Bill Clinton and the majority of the neocons Republicans and the Democrats whores” that sell out to the oligarchs. Americans today find themselves to an increasingly unaffordable healthcare, a true unemployment of 12% with no private sector job growth opportunities, poor quality education and few good teachers that really care to educate their children, a police force that is overpay and abuse their power and become the number one killers of the minority working class in this country. The fact is that the American worker is the one that suffer the consequences of free trade; no one can deny that most American today works long hours and no benefits and get pay slave wages.  The American worker today,  many do not earned enough to cover their living expenses and few only have very little money after they paid for gas, food, housing and insurance to paid for other things they need; we are on the path toward a third-world country, but it is not too late to change this path of self-destruction, millions of people recognize what is happening and they are join the BERNIE SANDERS political revolution to help all of us the ordinary American, in a sustained effort to get off our country from the path toward a third world country status and restore the American dream. Thanks God we have some Republicans and Democrats that believe in our country’s mission, that our country was founded by the people and for the people; under the ideology that our government was formed to protect and defend our God given freedom and liberty to self-determination in support of our economic and welfare. Our US constitution and our Bill of rights it is based on the Bible principles “The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth.” 

 It is not too late to recognize, that what is happening in our country is the result of greed for power and money, the love for money destroy our nation moral leadership and responsibility toward the American people. God is giving us hope to take our country back and reclaim our moral principles, take responsibility for the making of our future and embrace God’s laws as our guiding light to build a country with moral responsibility toward all humanity. Support Bernie Sanders; the only independent member of the US Senate that is telling the people of this country that big money’s purchase of political power is a grave threat to our economic future and our freedom,  Bernie Sanders shares his plan to put government back in voters’ control.

Greed destroyed the moral leadership of our country-and passed many free trade legislations that destroyed the American dream. http://biblescripture.net/Bill.html

Join the revolution and re-store the American dream.

STOP POLICE BRUTALITY AND ALL THE KILLINGS

By: Juan Reynoso, WTP Activist -  www.represent.us   -clearglobal2016@gmail.com

Americas must realize that self-scrutiny is not treason. Self-examination is not disloyalty.

Truth and knowledge diffused among the people are necessary for the reclamation and preservation of our Democracy, rights, freedom and liberties.

American has become a police state. The police force in most major American cities have Carte Blanche to kill people that they regard as enemy of the state with impunity and they are immune to prosecution because they are protected by their Dept. It is time for the American people to stop these criminals and prosecute them by the use of independent prosecutors that are not connected to the police force.

We the people must become activist to stop police brutality and the killings of Americans and demand the justice for the people that were killed or abuse by the police criminals. Our country is a country of laws and our constitutional rights and the rule of law must not be void by this system of corruption that trash the people’s right and allowed police officer to kill people that they think they are criminals and deserved to die.

OPEN LETTER TO ALL THE SENATORS.

By: Juan Reynoso, WTP Activist -  www.represent.us   -clearglobal2016@gmail.com

Americas must realize that self-scrutiny is not treason. Self-examination is not disloyalty.

Truth and knowledge diffused among the people are necessary for the reclamation and preservation of our Democracy, rights, freedom and liberties.

Open Letter to all members of the Senate.

Senators, you were elected by the people to represent us the American people. It is clear that many of you stand by your moral principles and by your oath to defend our constitution, but it is also true that many Senators betray us and violated their oath in favor of crony capitalism,

The truth is that many senators become traitors; they betray the people that place them in office and the whole country. We will like to know if this was done by willful Ignorance about the Constitution, because many of you who have solemnly promised to protect our Constitution are subverting it. Senators for us the Americans that love our country it is hard to understand how far our government has drifted from the Constitution’s vision and the stated provisions.

The very truth is that too many members of the Senate and Congress don’t understand the Constitution they’ve sworn to defend, not because they can’t understand it, but because they make little or no effort to do so. Some Supreme Court justices aren’t much better; too many of them understand our founding document but refuse to acknowledge that it’s most important function is to limit and check power. Presidents are often even worse, like Obama that has built a profile of being a pathological liar; Presidents pay lip service to our nation’s governing document, but their actions frequently betray a lack of real commitment to its restrictions.

Senators it is a disgrace that many of you that have raised your right hands and sworn an oath “to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Most chose to trash it if not all, have made such a vow intended at the outset to keep it. Maybe they believe they are keeping it. But far too often they are not. The truth is, many of the very people who have solemnly promised to protect our Constitution are subverting it.

Senators do not become a traitor, if you have a problem with being faithful to the oath you sworn to, please resigns to Protest your Loyalty to the oath.

Senators, if you love America you must stand for and defend our Constitution and the rights of the American people. The TPP Economic Treaty Is the Calling Card for Death of the United States as a Sovereign Nation, the TPP is a trade policy that will demise the rights of the American people in favor of the elite US corporate predators that place money over our country’s sovereignty and the American working class, more American workers will be force to low-wage competition, giving multinational corporations excessive power to exploit humanity. We the people demand that you do your duty and stop the TPP, TTIP and TiSA

 nObama's Address on the ISIL 'JV Team'  
"If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.” —George Washington, 1793. 
         Today is the anniversary of the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, "a date which will live in infamy," as Franklin Roosevelt noted then.
         The 9/11 Islamist attack on our homeland 60 years later was no less brutal, targeted primarily civilians, and rightly resulted in a war on two primary fronts, Afghanistan and Iraq. In addition to those major warfronts, President George W. Bush initiated clandestine strikes against Jihad terrorists around the world.
          His objective was not only to crush terrorist power bases but to keep the fight on their turf.
          After launching strikes against al-Qa'ida targets, Bush addressed the nation on 21 September 2001, saying, "Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger, and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done. ... From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. ... As long as the United States of America is determined and strong, this will not be an age of terror; this will be an age of liberty, here and across the world."
          Unfortunately, as we have warned on the pages of The Patriot Post for the last seven years, Barack Obama's political retreat from Islamic terror warfronts, predictably, provided a vacuum that was quickly filled by a more heinous metastasizing terrorist regime, the Islamic State.
          On Sunday night, in a rare Oval Office address to the nation, nObama delivered some crafty teleprompted remarks on the most significant homeland attack on Americans since 9/11 — a coordinated Islamist attack on an office Christmas party last week, just hours after nObama claimed, "ISIL is not going to pose an existential threat to us."

 New York Times Calls for Gun Confiscation  
Barack nObama isn't the only one making noise about confiscating guns. The New York Times featured its first front-page editorial since 1920 ranting about the "moral outrage and ... national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency." Never mind that these guns are not functionally different from nearly all handguns, or that they're barely used in crimes — in 2013, there were 8,454 murders with firearms and just 285 with rifles of any type.
          After more irrational fear mongering, including dismissing the fact that gun bans don't work because "at least [other] countries are trying," the Times laid down the gauntlet: "Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership. It is possible to define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens."
          There's a reason molon labe — the Greek phrase meaning "come and take" — is a classic motto of those who cherish their Second (and Fourth and Fifth) Amendment rights. What the Times is calling for, even though the editors would never put it this way, is for heavily armed government agents to forcibly take certain firearms from law-abiding citizens because these New York editors are afraid of them.
          Do they have any idea of the bloodshed that would cause? And leftists accuse us of refusing to acknowledge reality.   -The Patriot Post

 Lynch's Muslim Straw Man  
Speaking before a Muslim lobbying group's 10th anniversary dinner, Attorney General Loretta Lynch vowed to prosecute anyone the federal government deemed too critical of Muslims. "Now obviously this is a country that is based on free speech," Lynch conceded in her remarks before getting to the inevitable "but." She continued, "[B]ut when it edges towards violence, when we see the potential for someone lifting that mantle of anti-Muslim rhetoric ... when we see that we will take action." Lynch is setting up a straw man, just like Barack nObama did on Sunday when he kept insisting "we're not at war with Islam." No one says we are — it's the Left that won't admit radical Islam is a problem. Still, it's an excuse to start prosecuting thought-crime. Lynch's "greatest fear" is the "incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric" and she says the San Bernardino massacre "gives us a wonderful opportunity and a wonderful moment to really make significant change." By the way leftist leaders talk, the Islamic State is a secular force devoid of true religion. They obscure the fact that it's a radical form of Islam, and in so doing, they undermine the nation's security.   -The Patriot Post

 Gasp! Football Players Pray — In Public!  
No, this is not from The Onion. The Huffington Post is protesting the fact that some USAFA "football team members knelt and prayed — ostentatiously, publicly — in the end zone prior to the game," Ret. U.S. Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson wrote. "They did not, as Christ's disciple Matthew advises, put themselves in a closet; they prayed in front of the world." And then HuffPo compared this to ... religious oppression in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Apparently, Wilkerson thinks a pre-game prayer is akin to the crucifixions, beheadings and stonings radical Islamists perform in the pursuit of Sharia Law. As a result of a complaint by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the USAFA is investigating the team. But if the Air Force recived a complaint about a Muslim praying, the person speaking up would probably be the one under scrutiny for a hate crime. This is the same Academy that struck the phrase "so help me God" from the USAFA Cadet Handbook of oaths, as Mark Alexander noted in an essay in September. The Left may try to make an end run on religion in the ranks of the U.S. military, but the individual soldiers are keeping the flame of Liberty and faith burning bright.  -The Patriot Post

 nObama now wants guns from these 47,000 people  
{CHELSEA SCHILLING} ~ If the federal government doesn’t want the 47,000 people on its No-Fly List to board airplanes, those individuals should be banned from ever owning guns... President nObama argued in his Sunday address from the Oval Office – but if his proposal ever becomes law, America could see U.S. Marines, congressmen, journalists and even federal air marshals mistakenly stripped of their firearms. “To begin with, Congress should act to make sure no one on a No-Fly List is able to buy a gun,” nObama said Dec. 6. “What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to but a semi-automatic weapon? This is a matter of national security.” But even the federal Government Accountability Office has indicated thousands of innocent people have been mistakenly linked to terror watchlists. Some experts and critics contend the federal list process contains many errors and relies on an overly broad standard of reasonable suspicion.

 The Mainstream Media’s Multifarious Mental Junk  
{HUGH FITZGERALD} ~ I have been watching, listening to, and reading all the multifarious mental junk that has been on offer on NPR and on CNN and on Fox, and at The Times and The Post and tutti quanti, and witnessing all these sudden scholars of terrorism... ranging from tough-guy ex-FBI agents to left-wing Democrats alike, offering every conceivable variety of obfuscation, misdirection, incomprehension, sheer nonsense — such as placing blame for the San Bernardino jihad terror attack on the “gun lobby.” This is because in this case the Muslim murderers in question used guns, so let’s all concentrate on the instrument used for the mass murder, and pay no attention to the ideology that prompted that particular use of that instrument. I have heard repeatedly how what the heavy-lidded couple did “was a political act and had nothing to do with religion”; heard how they were “radicalized” here or there or possibly over there — though what that word “radicalized” would mean, i.e., following faithfully the dictates of Islam, no one seems interested in discussing. I have heard that the FBI has finally bravely concluded that “Yes, it was an act of terrorism,” but beyond that apparently daring declaration, nothing is said about what that “terrorism” was intended to do, or about how it was prompted by what texts of what religion. Instead, we hold in our puzzled hands this mush-word “terrorism,” which has become a kind of free-floating Leibnizian monad unconnected to a particular faith Whose Name We Dare Not Speak. Our betters tell us they are still trying to puzzle out the whole mysterious business of that couple that was so mysteriously “radicalized.” They will still be puzzling it out during the next such attack, and the one after that, and the one after that. In the midst of all this, just possibly something like a hemidemisemiquaver of the truth will be allowed in.

 U.S. Taxpayer Gives $100,000 to Terrorism-Tied Islamic Charity  
{Adam Kredo} ~ A U.S. taxpayer-funded aid organization has awarded $100,000 to an Islamic charity that has been banned in some countries for providing assistance to Hamas and other terrorism-linked organizations, according to grant information... The U.S. Agency for International Development, also known as USAID, has pledged a federal grant of $100,000 for the charity Islamic Relief Worldwide, which has been repeatedly linked to the financing of terrorism. Under USAID’s Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, Islamic Relief will be given $100,000 in 2016 for various foreign projects, according to grant information. The award has generated controversy among critics of Islamic Relief’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the terror group Hamas. This admintration doesn't care.    http://freebeacon.com/national-security/u-s-taxpayer-funded-group-gives-100000-to-terrorism-tied-islamic-charity/

 nObama’s DHS Trolling For Latino Citizenship Applicants  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ What is the point of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, under the corrupt DHS “leadership” of Jihadi Jeh Johnson, publishing what is essentially are cruitment video for American citizenship?... Are we so desperate as the nation in the world that everyone is most anxious to find some way into, legal or otherwise, that we have taken to begging for people to apply to become citizens? Or are Democrat partisans so corrupt in their abuse of power and misspending of taxpayer dollars that they are willing to blatantly and flagrantly throw our money down their Marxist rat holes in full public view? Yes, they are; Johnson is nothing if he is not the most corrupt anti-American operative within the regime, aside from nObama and Jarrett. It’s a stupid, childish exercise, six words about what citizenship  means to the particular individual potential citizen. It’s the kind of stupid, nonsensical waste of money that only an American government agency would engage in.       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23328

 The Palestinians' Window of Opportunity Is Closing  
{Bassam Tawil} ~ Before Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's trip to the United States to meet President Barack nObama, administration officials there said they had given up hope of establishing a Palestinian state during the president's term of office... One could only think that if as the Palestinian project failed during the current administration, which supports the Palestinian cause, and with a secretary of state as highly motivated as John hanoi-Kerry, the probability of its ever succeeding was fading away. Just as boycotting and marking Israeli goods from the territories have led only to the mass layoff of thousands of Palestinian workers from dream jobs in the settlements, the fairy tales about a binational state will leave the Palestinians with nothing to show for our years of waiting. Unfortunately, as time passes, Palestinian intransigence has led the Israelis to build a Zionist enterprise that cannot simply be dismissed.

 UN Again Admits Dishonesty In Climate Change Hoax  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ There has now been a second reluctant confession of the deliberate, unadulterated lying by top United Nations officials regarding the legitimacy of their climate change hoax... They’ve told us for decades that what isn’t happening is and that we should just accept what we know to be a lie as truth. After all, according to them, 97% of scientists all agree. The “science is settled,” says Hussein nObama; it’s not even up for discussion. Maybe he’ll allow for some begrudging discussion now. Maybe some of those 97% of scientists who have been lying to the world right along with the UN and nObama, being paid off by illicit grant funding, will find a shred of scientific integrity and join the other, not corrupted 3%, who weren’t prostituting themselves for money. On Monday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon joined Climate Witch Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in changing the story. That organization was formed for the express purpose of selling us on the fraud as the means to usher in global climate government. She had already made the same type of admission herself, in an interview with CNN, acknowledging that it’s really always been all about the money.

 France Plans To Shut Down Up To 160 Muslim Mosques  
{ MICHAEL QAZVINI} ~ In  the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack in Paris, France plans on shutting down up to 160 mosques in the next few months... French President Francois Hollande announced a state of emergency after the attacks, bolstering security measures across the country. Authorities argue that the mosques pose a threat to national security, operating as hubs of radicalism. “According to official figures and our discussions with the interior ministry, between 100 and 160 more mosques will be closed because they are run illegally without proper licenses, they preach hatred, or use takfiri [threats against apostates] speech," French-Islamic bureaucratic state mediator and Muslim prison chaplain Hassan El Alaoui told Al Jazeera on Wednesday. “This kind of speech shouldn't even be allowed in Islamic countries, let alone secure countries like France.” Thats what we should do also.        http://www.dailywire.com/news/1544/france-plans-shut-down-160-muslim-mosques-michael-qazvini?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=120215-news&utm_campaign=benshapiro

 Russia Turns an ISIS 170 Oil Tanker Convoy Into Burning Wreckage  
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Thanks to Russia, ISIS just had a really bad day. One of their airstrikes just took out a massive oil tanker convoy with 170 vehicles... Russian warplanes traced and targeted a long convoy of ISIL’s oil tankers near the Syrian border with Turkey, sources said on Saturday. “All the tankers were destroyed in the Russian warplanes’ airstrike,” the sources added, and continued, “Scores of ISIL terrorists accompanying the convoy were also killed or wounded in the air attack.” Reports said earlier today that Turkey has refused US demands to stop oil smuggling and close the part of the border with Syria which is controlled by ISIL militants.

 nObama's Tolerable Level of Terrorism  
{David P. Goldman} ~ "Round up the usual suspects" was the brunt of President nObama's address to the American public after last week's San Bernardino massacre... nObama offered nothing new, only "airstrikes, Special Forces, and working with local forces who are fighting to regain control of their own country" in the Levant. Like his French counterpart Francois Hollande, nObama thinks that a certain level of terrorism is tolerable, and far preferable to the bloody and difficult work of rooting out jihadist terrorism entirely. There is something to be said for the notion of a tolerable level of terrorism, but neither nObama nor Hollande are likely to achieve this as matters stand. "Since the attacks in Paris," the President said, "we've surged intelligence-sharing with our European allies. We're working with Turkey to seal its border with Syria. And we are cooperating with Muslim-majority countries — and with our Muslim communities here at home — to counter the vicious ideology that ISIL promotes online." None of this is new and none of it is persuasive.

 nObama's umpteenth dishonest speech on terrorism

Excuse me if I’m not comforted... nObama has made quite clear that he is blind to the threat radical Islam represents to America and the rest of the civilized world. He obviously believes that Islam produces no more or worse terrorists than any other religion or cult and that it is wrong to focus on the radical strain of Islam because it leads to discrimination against other Muslims – discrimination he seems to see under every rock. We’ve repeated to the point of cliché that to effectively wage war, one must identify his enemy, and no one can rationally dispute this. But nObama can’t bring himself to identify radical Islam, Islamism or Islamic terrorism as our enemy. His blindness may be from his sentimental childhood attachment to Islam. It may be that his leftist ideology compels him to see conservatives, Republicans and Christians as America’s true enemies. But whatever it is, he is crippling the United States in this war and is making us increasingly vulnerable.

.
This week, the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs will hold the 999,999th oversight hearing (give or take a few) on the VA’s homicidal, no-fault culture. “In the wake of the biggest scandal in VA history, in which 110 VA medical facilities maintained secret lists to hide long waits for care,” the panel notes, “the department has successfully fired just three low-level employees for manipulating wait times. Not a single VA senior executive has been successfully fired for doing the same.”
.
Have you forgotten? President nObama, who proclaimed himself “madder than hell” when the scandal first broke, apparently can no longer be bothered to care as he gallivants around the planet fretting about climate change.
.
How about some climate change at the toxic VA?
.
The department in charge of providing care to those who served our country in uniform stuck hundreds of thousands of vets on waiting lists to nowhere. The exact VA scandal death toll remains unknown because of the perpetually crappy state of data entry and management that long predated the latest bureaucratic abominations under the nObama administration.
.
We do know that in Phoenix alone, an estimated 40 veterans died waiting for care as VA officials cooked the books and cashed in. Former Phoenix VA hospital Director Sharon Helman was one of the few officials finally dismissed for misconduct. But like countless other VA crooks, she was awarded (and allowed to keep) more than $8,000 in publicly funded bonus pay plus a 2 percent pay raise after submitting a self-assessment in which she bragged: “I drove tremendous improvement in primary-care access.”
.
The VA bonus bonanza — which fueled the records-doctoring scandal — showered $142 million on executives, managers and employees in 2014 alone, according to a devastating USA Today analysis last week. The year before, the VA doled out nearly $400,000 in bonuses to hospital officials as veterans fought to be seen and treated.
.
“Among the recipients were claims processors in a Philadelphia benefits office that investigators dubbed the worst in the country last year. They received $300 to $900 each,” investigators found. “Managers in Tomah, Wis., got $1,000 to $4,000, even though they oversaw the over-prescription of opiates to veterans — one of whom died.”
.
In St. Paul, Minn., VA benefits office director Kimberly Graves raked in nearly $9,000 in 2014 bonus pay. The VA inspector general determined that she abused her power to transfer to a new position and collected nearly $130,000 to move. Graves refused to testify at a House hearing earlier this month about job-manipulation charges, as did accountability-evading VA exec Diana Rubens of Philadelphia.
.
The tight-lipped fish rots from the head down, of course. Former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, who resigned last spring, refused to turn over records related to bonus decisions to a judge.
.
No consequences for evading judicial orders. But he’s still collecting his six-figure, gold-plated government pension.
.
About the only thing the VA has proved efficient and effective at these days is retaliating against the brave watchdogs who exposed their craven supervisors. It’s been two months since Office of Special Counsel head Carolyn Lerner blasted the systemic witch hunts against whistleblowers to President nObama in an open letter. After highlighting a “pattern of deficient patient care at VA facilities nationwide,” she discovered a flood of chilling cases in which the agency “attempted to fire or suspend whistleblowers for minor indiscretions and, often, for activity directly related to the employee’s whistleblowing.”
.
In 2015 alone, the OSC has received over 2,000 cases from VA employees seeking protection from retaliation for whistleblowing.
.
Where’s the White House? Too preoccupied with restricting the powers of federal inspectors general to investigate wrongdoing within the nObama administration’s agencies from A to VA to Z.
.
These feckless, reckless officials in the top echelons of power will continue to jeopardize and sacrifice innocent lives as long as they suffer no risks to their own privileged, protected livelihoods. They deserve a change of climate all right — from the rarefied air of the Beltway to an enclosed habitat behind bars.

The number one enemy of humanity is man’s greed

By: Juan Reynoso, WTP Activist –  clearglobal2016@gmail.com

 

Truth and knowledge diffused among the people are necessary for the reclamation and preservation of our Democracy, rights, freedom and liberties

The number one enemy of humanity is man’s greed. https://www.facebook.com/notes/michael-swenson/treatise-on-greed-and-corruption/517410181671279?comment_id=826039267475034&offset=0&total_comments=125&comment_tracking={%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22}

2-01-6 is the numbers that reveal the future of humanity

The number 2 means – unity, partnerships and communication. Working together to exert our natural flow of judgment to do what is best for our selves. The number two urges us out of our indecision, calls us to unite with like-minds, and like-ideals for the purpose of social justice and our prosperity.

The number 01- means, the age of digital technology. The number One reflects new beginnings, truth and purity.  The number one call for action; physical and mental and a strong will to discover, this combined with our urgency for new beginnings, exert our natural forces to take action, and start a new venture. The number One encourages us to action that will be rewarded in kind.

The number 6 – means man weakness. Man was created on the sixth day by God almighty and was good; but sin transform man and made him evil. The weakness of man the evils of Satan and the manifestation of sin are real. The purpose of man and humanity is to live in harmony with each other and all that is created by God for the benefit of humanity.  Men are appointed 6 days to labor to provide for his kin. The number 6 represents the very best human system of governance that mankind can produce without God and remains under the constant influence of his chief adversary the Devil so it inherently falls far short of the standards by which God puts forth in the Bible. This is noted in Revelation 13:18 “This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.” The idea is that the beast is of human origin but might not receive his power from man but from the “dragon” which is another name for Satan.

America will be renew by the huge number of believers in social justice and the greed and evil of man will be remove not by force, but by their own acts; greed and the love for money will be their demise and men will learn that greed is destructive and all things accumulate by the love for money will remain on this world when they be call to account for their actions.

 WIKIPEDIA NINJA   The Guardian: “You can’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia, as a security guard has learned after falling for a concert goer’s auspicious edit. Fan David Spargo tried to gain backstage access at a Peking Duk gig in Melbourne on Wednesday night, claiming to be related to a member of the Australian electronic music duo. The security guard was at first sceptical, asking him to prove that he was Reuben Styles’ step-brother. Then Spargo pulled up the Peking Duk Wikipedia page on his phone, which listed him under ‘family’ – as of moments ago. ‘It was probably the most genius, mastermind move that I’ve ever witnessed,’ said Adam Hyde, Styles’ bandmate. ‘It’s crazy. He just did it on the spot, in a second on his phone.’”   -Fox News

 Muslim Reform Movement  
{M. Zuhdi Jasser and Raheel Raza et al} ~ We are Muslims who live in the 21st century. We stand for a respectful, merciful and inclusive interpretation of Islam... We are in a battle for the soul of Islam, and an Islamic renewal must defeat the ideology of Islamism, or politicized Islam, which seeks to create Islamic states, as well as an Islamic caliphate. We seek to reclaim the progressive spirit with which Islam was born in the 7th century to fast forward it into the 21st century. We support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by United Nations member states in 1948. We reject interpretations of Islam that call for any violence, social injustice and politicized Islam. Facing the threat of terrorism, intolerance, and social injustice in the name of Islam, we have reflected on how we can transform our communities based on three principles: peace, human rights and secular governance. We are announcing today the formation of an international initiative: the Muslim Reform Movement.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7009/muslim-reform-movement

 Atomic Agency Verifies Existence of Iranian Nuclear Weapons Prog  
{Ruthie Blum} ~ The existence of Iran’s nuclear weapons program was verified last week, according to a statement issued Friday by the New York-based watchdog United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI)... The statement, signed by UANI CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and Chairman Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, was a response to the Dec. 2 release of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on the possible military dimensions (PMD) of Iran’s nuclear program. “The IAEA report is disturbing as it reveals that Iran continues to act as a nuclear weapons outlaw,” the statement began. “It exposes that, at minimum, Iran continued nuclear weapons development through 2009. Notably, the IAEA could not describe the extent of Iran’s nuclear weapons program after 2009 because Iran failed to answer basic questions and provide requested information.”       http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/12/06/watchdog-atomic-agency-report-verifies-existence-of-iranian-nuclear-weapons-program/

 nObama's ISIS cover-up gets its own speech  
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ nObama began his speech with a cover-up, suggesting that Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik’s bloody San Bernardino massacre was not the work of ISIS... Whatever dignity his Oval Office speech was meant to convey was lost in his opening sentences as his speech became yet another effort to claim that he hadn’t made a mistake by assuring Americans they had nothing to worry about from ISIS right before its latest terror attack. Farook and Malik were “self-radicalized”. Their attack was not part of a “broader conspiracy”. But ISIS and Al Qaeda have both embraced a strategy of empowering local supporters to carry out their own attacks by giving them the tools and strategies to do so. Malik pledged allegiance to ISIS. Farook, according to his father, was a supporter of the Islamic State. The worst terror attacks in America in recent years were carried out by these independent Islamic terror cells in support of the Jihad. Instead of fighting ISIS, nObama wants to fight the Bill of Rights. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/261048/obamas-isis-cover-gets-its-own-speech-daniel-greenfield

 Democratic Party conducts outreach through leader of terrorist group 
{Joe Kaufman} ~ In a push to do outreach to the local Muslim community, the Florida Democratic Party has officially recognized the American Muslim Democratic Caucus (AMDC), a group based in South Florida with members around the state... While this might look innocuous on its face, AMDC is headed by a woman, Ghazala Salam, who is the leader of a terrorist organization and has deep ties to various radical Islamic institutions. Salam is the Community and Government Relations Director for the Florida chapter of CAIR, a group that only one year ago was labeled a terrorist organization, alongside al-Qaeda and ISIS, by the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). CAIR or the Council on American-Islamic Relations was established in June 1994 as part of the American Palestine Committee, a terrorist umbrella group headed by then-global head of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook. In 2007 and 2008, CAIR was named by the United States Justice Department a co-conspirator for two federal trials dealing with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas. Since its founding, a number of CAIR representatives have served jail time and/or have been deported from the US for terrorist-related crimes. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and company's disturbing embrace of radical Islam.     http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/261042/democratic-party-conducts-outreach-through-leader-joe-kaufman

 A global strategy for combating al Qaeda and the Islamic State  
{AEI's Foreign and Defense Policy team} ~ The Paris attacks are further proof that the West is losing the fight against terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS)... Al Qaeda’s branches and partners have increased the territory they control in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and North Africa, and ISIS continues to expand its membership and its territorial holdings globally despite US-led airstrikes. A major AEI report, “A global strategy for combating al Qaeda and the Islamic State,” proposes a better way forward than the current failing strategies. Success demands a new strategy: a coordinated series of regional counterinsurgency campaigns. Airstrikes and attrition alone will never defeat al Qaeda and ISIS. We need a population-centric and phased approach that combines diplomatic, political, security, and informational tools at a national and subnational level. These campaigns must be nested in a global framework and tailored for each specific fight according to a variety of factors, including the nature and strength of the enemy, the attitudes of the local population, and the capacity of the host government in the particular area of concern. The United States’ first option cannot be large-scale invasions in places where al Qaeda and its affiliates operate. That approach would allow the enemy to impose high costs on the US and its allies in return for only partial successes in individual theaters. The best military course of action to pursue against the extremists is a counterinsurgency. This strategy depends heavily on supporting efforts from our partners and allies, which will in most cases make the deployment of large numbers of American military forces into combat both unnecessary and inadvisable.       http://www.aei.org/multimedia/one-pager-a-global-strategy-for-combating-al-qaeda-and-the-islamic-state/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=120715

 Dictators Demand Trillions in “Climate” Loot From West  
{Alex Newman} ~ In exchange for going along with the United Nations “climate” agenda, the world's largest coalition of Third World dictators and backwards regimes is demanding "significantly" more than $100 billion per year in global-warming reparations from Western taxpayers... Known as the Group of 77 plus (Communist) China, the radical 134-member alliance, which includes the world's most oppressive dictators, released a statement saying “nothing” could be achieved at the ongoing UN global-warming summit in Paris without lots of “climate finance” flowing from freer nations to their largely autocratic regimes. The UN and most Western governments have so far been more than happy to fork over their struggling taxpayers' wealth to the extortionists in exchange for a UN “climate” regime imposing draconian controls on all of humanity. Last year alone, more than $60 billion in supposed climate reparations was handed out to Third World rulers, according to a recent study. But those rulers want more — much more — and are now threatening to scuttle the whole UN “climate” agenda if they do not get their way.

 Iran tests another mid-range ballistic missile in breach of resolutions 
{Jennifer Griffin, Lucas Tomlinson} ~ Iran has carried out a new medium range ballistic missile test in breach of two United Nations Security Council resolutions, a senior U.S. official told Fox News on Monday... Western intelligence says the test was held Nov. 21 near Chabahar, a port city in southeast Iran’s Balochistan province near the border with Pakistan.  The launch took place from a known missile test site along the Gulf of Oman. The missile, known as a Ghadr-110, has a range of 1,800 – 2000 km, or 1200 miles, and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The missile fired in November is an improved version of the Shahab 3, and is similar to the precision guided missile tested by Iran on Oct. 10, which elicited strong condemnation from members of the U.N. Security Council.

 'If the Public Knew the Truth, nObama Would be Impeached'  
{Guy Benson} ~ President nObama addressed an anxious nation last night in an instantly-forgettable, perfunctory speech that was largely devoid of news and announced no meaningful changes to US policies or military strategy...  In an effort to reassure Americans that he's confronting the terrorist threat aggressively (his public approval rating on handling terrorism and ISIS is weak) nObama said, "for seven years, I’ve confronted this evolving threat each morning in my intelligence briefing."  The public learned several years ago that this president skips his in-person briefings far more frequently than his predecessor, though his staff insists that he reads through the written version of the file on a daily basis.  More important than how he ingests this information is what ends up in front of the president.  We've been following serious, credible claims leveled by dozens of current and former US intelligence professionals who allege that their work product was regularly altered and manipulated to downplay the growing threat and alarming advance of ISIS.  The former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency has stated that the current investigation into these accusations should start at the White House, which he says has subordinated accurate information to political narratives.  Other American spies have alleged that the nObama administration also deliberately kept a lid on intel gathered during the Bin Laden raid that contradicted the White House's messaging about Al Qaeda.  Yesterday afternoon, prior to the president's Oval Office remarks, a former NSA analyst and Naval War College professor with deep ties to the US intelligence community tweeted something provocative:

 Lt Col Ralph Peters – Calls nObama “Such A Total P****  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Stuart Varney may have forgotten that Lt Col Ralph Peters is generally a pretty straight shooter, calling things as he sees them, when he asked him what his commentary was during the previous night’s nObama oval office speech... Varney asked, “I want to know, what were you saying to the TV as the ‘president’ was speaking. What was your commentary as the ‘president’s’ speech unfolded?” It’s quite possible that Varney knew what was coming as well, given the drama  surrounding the introduction. Regardless of the prep or motivation,  the remarks of his guest were spot on. Peters replied, “Well, first of all, he keeps speaking about ‘we can’t give in to our fears, look, don’t be afraid.’ Look, Mr. ‘president,’ we’re not afraid. We’re angry, we’re pissed off, we’re furious. We want you to react; we want you to do something. You’re afraid.”       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23290

 Ethics Committee Clears Jewish Student Who Confronted Anti-Israel  
{Michael Widlanski} ~ The student government’s ethics committee at the University of Michigan unanimously voted on Sunday not to take disciplinary action against a Jewish student...  who was under investigation for challenging anti-Israel demonstrators on campus, The Algemeiner has learned. The Central Student Government (CSG) Ethics Committee released a report concluding that sophomore and CSG representative Jesse Arm “did not engage in unethical behavior or engage in conduct unbecoming of a representative.” The decision was made after the committee heard testimonies from all involved parties and reviewed footage of Arm confronting the protesters. Arm was caught on video last month arguing with students who assembled an anti-Israel display on campus. The demonstration took place on Nov. 19, the day that 18-year-old American-Jewish student Ezra Schwartz was killed in a Palestinian terrorist attack in Israel. The incident resulted in the Ethics Committee launching its first-ever investigation, after Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE), the group responsible for the display, called on the committee to dismiss Arm for what they claimed was abusive conduct.

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The foundations of American Jewish life are under assault today in ways that were unimaginable a generation ago. Academia is ground zero of the onslaught. The protest movements on campuses are first and foremost anti-Jewish movements.
.
For the past decade or so, Jewish communal leaders and activists have focused on just one aspect of this anti-Jewish campaign. Jewish leaders have devoted themselves to helping Jewish students combat the direct anti-Semitism inherent to the anti-Israel student movements.
.
Despite the substantial funds that have been devoted to fighting anti-Israel forces on campuses, they have not been diminished. To the contrary, with each passing year they have grown more powerful and menacing.
.
Consider a sampling of the anti-Jewish incidents that took place over the past two weeks.
.
Two weeks ago, Daniel Bernstein, a Jewish student at University of California Santa Cruz and a member of the university’s student government was ordered not to vote on a resolution calling for the university to divest from four companies which do business with Israel.
.
Bernstein represents UCSC’s Stevenson College at the university student government. He is also vice president of his college’s Jewish Student Union. Ahead of the anti-Israel vote, Bernstein received a message from a member of his college’s student council ordering him to abstain from the vote on Israel divestment.
.
The student council, Bernstein was informed, had determined that he was motivated by “a Jewish agenda,” and therefore couldn’t be trusted to view the resolution fairly.
.
In the same message, Bernstein’s correspondent gave him a friendly “heads up” that his fellow students are considering removing him from office because he is a Jew supported by the Jewish community.
.
To his credit, Bernstein ignored his orders. He voted to oppose the anti-Israel resolution.
.
Following the incident Bernstein published a statement decrying the anti-Jewish discrimination and hatred now rampant on his campus.
.
Among other things, he wrote, “I wish that my being subjected to anti-Semitism was a shocking new occurrence. But the truth is that I’m not shocked. I’m not shocked because this hatred and ignorance has followed me everywhere. I’m not shocked because Jewish students have been targeted with this vile racism all over the University of California UC system for years, and especially since BDS became a major issue of discussion. Anti-Semitism ... has ... become an inseparable part of campus politics right here at UC Santa Cruz and across the UC system.”
.
Then there is the growing movement of professional associations that boycott Israel.
.
Last week the National Women’s Studies Association passed a resolution to join the BDS movement. The resolution, written in turgid, incomprehensible prose, proclaimed that the only state in the Middle East that provides full and equal rights to women is so evil that it must be singled out and boycotted, sanctioned and divested from.
.
Whereas Bernstein was personally targeted, and the NWSA criminalizes Israel, at CUNY, on November 12, a group of protesters targeted the Jewish community as a whole.
.
That day, as part of a national “million student march,” where students demanded free tuition, anti-Jewish students at CUNY rallied at Hunter college and introduced a new demand: the expulsion of all Israel supporters from campus.
.
Congregating in the center of the campus, some 50 students chanted in unison, “Zionists out of CUNY!”
.
Aside from an anodyne statement in favor of “freedom of expression,” CUNY administrators had nothing to say about the affair.
.
For their part, Hunter’s administrators issued a statement “condemning the anti-Semitic comments,” made by the rally participants.
.
But no disciplinary measures were taken against any of them.
.
Speaking to the Algemeiner, StandWithUs’s northeast regional director Shahar Azani said that the Hunter incident “is another example of the hijacking of various social causes by the anti-Israel movement.”
.
In making this claim, Azani was merely repeating the position taken by Jewish communal leaders and activists involved in the fight to defend Jews and Israel on university campuses. Unfortunately, this position is incorrect.
.
According to the prevailing wisdom guiding Jewish communal responses to the onslaught against Jewish students on campuses, the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish movements are distinct from the wider anti-liberal forces now disrupting campus life throughout the US. As Jewish leaders see things, there is no inherent connection between the protesters embracing victimhood and demanding constraints on freedom of expression, inquiry and assembly (and free tuition), and those who seek to drive Jews out of the public sphere on college campuses.
.
In other words, they believe that Zionists can be crybullies too.
.
But they can’t.
.
The crybully movement, which demands that universities constrain freedom to cater to victim groups, is necessarily hostile to Jews. This is the reason that at the same time that “victims” from blacks to transgenders are coddled and caressed, Jews have emerged as the only group that is not protected. Indeed, the BDS movement requires universities to discriminate against Jewish students.
.
The inherent conflict between the tenets of the “progressive” movement and Jewish rights is exposed in a guide to racial “microaggressions” published earlier this year by the University of California. Students and faculty must avoid committing these “microagressions” if they want to stay on the right side of campus authorities and the law.
.
The UC defines “microagressions” as, “brief, subtle verbal or non-verbal exchanges that send denigrating messages to the recipient because of his or her group membership (such as race, gender, age or socio-economic status).”
.
Transgressors can expect to be accused of engendering a “hostile learning environment,” an act that can get you expelled, fired and subjected to criminal probes.
.
As law professor Eugene Voloch reported in The Washington Post last June, among other things, the list of offenses includes embracing merit as a means of advancing in society. A statement along the lines of “I believe the most qualified person should get the job” can destroy a person’s academic career.
.
So too, statements rejecting race as a significant factor in judging a person’s competence are now deemed racist. For instance statements to the effect of, “There is only one race, the human race,” “America is a melting pot” or “I don’t believe in race” can land a student or instructor in hot water.
.
In a column last week, Dennis Prager noted that the list castigates as racism all the pillars of liberal society in America. The list, he wrote, shows that “the American university is now closer to fascism than to traditional liberty.”
.
Prager is right, of course. But the fascist takeover of American academia will not affect all Americans equally.
.
Jews are the greatest victims of this state of affairs.
.
For the better part of the past hundred years, the upward mobility of American Jewry has been directly correlated with America’s embrace of meritocratic values. The more Americans have looked past race and ethnicity and judged people by their talents, characters and professional competence, the higher Jews have risen. Conversely, where qualities other than competence, talent and professionalism have determined social and professional status, Jews have suffered. They have faced discrimination and their opportunities to advance have been limited.
.
Academia is but a small component of American society. But to earn a place in America’s middle, upper-middle and upper classes, you need at least an undergraduate degree. Moreover, university graduates go on to populate and head the state and federal governing bureaucracies, the business world, the entertainment sector and every other major area of human endeavor in American society.
.
Academia’s simultaneous rejection of core liberal principles and legitimization of anti-Semitic forces is not a coincidence. Jews are a constant reminder that human agency – rather than race and other group identities – has everything to do with a person’s ability to excel in academics and beyond. For fascist principles to hold, Jews must be demonized and hated.
.
The intrinsic link between anti-Semitism and fascism and their simultaneous embrace by a key American institution means that the equal rights and freedoms of Jews are far more threatened in America today than most Jewish leaders and activists have realized. The Jewish community’s failure to date to successfully defeat the anti-Semitic forces on campuses owes at least in part to its failure to recognize or contend with the dual nature of the problem.

Help Save Fox News? No Way

I will not help save Fox News, and neither should you. Fox News is more and more against the tea party all the time. It wants the establishment republicans to rule, not true conservatives. That's why Graham is interviewed so often. That's why they like Jeb. That's why they hate Trump. I rarely listen to Fox anymore. They're almost liberals on there. In fact, Alan Combs is a liberal, as socialist as they come. And it is going to get worse. If you ask me, this squawking by Fox or whoever, about them being threatened, might be a put-up job to rally declining support for Fox. I have all but scratched Fox from my routine. I listen to Mark Levin instead.

By Oscar Y. Harward 

How and why do so many Washington, DC leaders, and specifically elected Capitol Hill leaders, become so confused in declaring, or even suggesting, that ‘Islam’ is a religion of peace for Muslins?  How can anyone suggest ‘Islam’ is a religion? 

2016 Presidential candidate, Donald Trump and others are ‘right’ on the issue of refusing more ’Islamic’ Muslims into the USA in an effort to protect our nation and its citizens.  Other 2016 candidates like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, and other Presidential candidates are wrong.  How can these other candidates profess to support the USA and our citizens; yet turn around and support more ‘Islamic’ Muslims as ‘immigrants’ who are determined to kill you and me?  Why is Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan choosing a wrong? 

President Franklin D Roosevelt banned Germans and Japanese from entering the USA in his Presidency. 

President Jimmy Carter banned Iranians from entering the USA in his Presidency. 

Why shouldn’t any President have the Constitutional authority to ban any nation, group, or individuals who may be methodically resolute in killing Americans? 

Why shouldn’t any principled President of the USA have the support of a majority of Americans, and especially other Republican Party Presidential candidates? 

Why should the USA continue to invite more ‘Islamic’ Muslims into America while ‘Islamic’ nations and groups continue declaring that ‘Islam’ will destroy America, our Bible, and our Constitution’ replacing the USA with Islam, the Quran, and Sharia Law? 

Americans are being commanded to accept more ‘Islamic’ Muslims in dispute of these Constitutional and cultural differences. 

‘Islamic’ Muslins are at war with all ‘infidels’; with ‘infidels’ being identified as Americans, Jews, and all other Christians around the world who oppose ‘Islam’. 

Do Americans know and understand that ‘Christianity’ and ‘Islam’ are reversals in living? 

Do Americans know and understand ‘Islam’ as, “The Qur'an explicitly instructs men to beat disobedient wives.” (Qur'an 4:34, Sahih Muslim 2127); or "I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" (Muslim 1:33);  or "And fight them until there is no more persecution and religion is only for Allah" (Qur'an 8:39) 

‘Christianity’ is contradictory to ‘Islam’.

The ‘Bible’ is contradictory to the ‘Quran’.

The ‘US Constitution’ is contradictory to ‘Sharia Law’. 

A religion must learn, practice, and teach others to follow the ‘Word’ as demonstrated and shown in the ‘Holy Bible’.  Many books and history on various subjects change with different messages on a regular basis; however, the Holy Bible teachings have remained endless with their messages for thousands of years.  Our Bible’s authors go back to the 15th Century BC, starting with Jesus’ revelations to Moses, and followed by many various writers. 

A ‘true’ religion should not, cannot, and will not instruct you, me, or anyone else to go out and kill others whom you disagree to, “Kill, convert or subjugate Christians and Jews.” (Qur'an 9:29). 

Our Founding Fathers met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 4, 1776 to inscribe the Constitution beginning with the ‘Declaration of Independence’ as a determination with a group of principles of our future nation and our people centered around freedoms and morals founded on ‘Biblical’ Judeo-Christian values. 

‘Islam’ has been around for more than 1,000 years; all fighting to attack and kill all humans who oppose ‘Islam’ and the Quran, as reportedly revealed to Muhammad  in 610 AD. 

In World War II, Sir Winston Churchill fought ‘Islamic’ Muslims in which he wrote about, “Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step, and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it (Islam) has vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” 

Inasmuch as ‘Islam’, in the ‘Quran’, calls for its followers to kill others, Capitol Hill legislators and SCOTUS should remove all ‘tax exemption’ advantages from Islamic groups and other supported groups. 

As Diane Sori says, “It’s extremely important to note that one of the main things separating a true religion from a cult is that NO true religion instructs its followers to kill in God's name, but  sectarianism groups do instruct its followers to kill in the name of their leader.” 

In that exercise as a group, ‘Islam’ is not a religion.  ‘Islam’ is an alliance with ‘worldly’, ‘murderous’, ‘rapists’, ‘ungodly’ and other ‘criminal’ lives.  ‘Islamic’ Muslims seem to hate all other lands they possess.  Their hate expands as their geography expands.  Hate!  Hate!  Hate! 

God Bless America!

 Cruz, Rubio impress -   Pocket silk aficionado David Drucker says Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio wowed the crowd at the event: “During a full day of speeches from more than a dozen GOP contenders, all received an energetic reception from the 700 RJC members in the audience at the Ronald Reagan Building a few blocks from the White House. But it was Cruz and Rubio who made an impression; Cruz for the ideological fervor underpinning his foreign policy; Rubio for a detailed address that touched the key pressure points important the national security hawks that dominate the RJC's membership.”  -Fox News

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE  
What would rock & roll be without Led Zeppelin? That was the question music lovers confronted on this day in 1980. The late 1970s hadn’t been a very happy times for lovers of real rock. The ubiquity of disco music had many music lovers feeling defeated (if not riotous). But there was still hope in the form of Zeppelin, the dominant act of the era, which fused hard rock and Delta blues into some of best songs ever recorded. The quality of their product wasn’t what it had been a decade before, but Zeppelin could surely still rock. When drummer John Bonham died of drunkenness in September of 1980, however, the band dropped its studio album and cancelled its planned U.S. tour. The loss of Bonham, the powerhouse who defined the band’s sound, proved too much. Thirty-five years ago today, the surviving members of the band announced their breakup in a letter to fans saying “we could not continue as we were.”

 CONGRESSIONAL GOP GOES ON OFFENSE  
Throwing down a symbolic but politically potent gauntlet, the Republican-controlled Senate passed a bill Thursday night that guts President nObama’s signature health law. The measure, which also defunds Planned Parenthood, breaks a five year log jam in the upper chamber. The Hill: “Republicans hailed it as a political messaging victory and a fulfillment of their promise from the 2014 midterm election to force President nObama to veto the landmark healthcare reform law named after him. The measure passed 52 to 47 after the Senate voted to significantly strengthen the bill originally passed by the House…The House will need to approve the amended legislation before it can be sent to the White House.”

 Hilly: I Didn’t Lie to Benghazi Families — It Was ‘The Fog Of War’  
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” while discussing the uncovered email showing Democratic presidential candidate Hilly Clinton had told the Egyptian prime minister that “we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film,”... prior to telling them it was a YouTube video that caused the terror attack, Clinton said she did not lie to them but instead was caught up in “the fog of war.” When confronted by video clips of family members of Benghazi victims, Clinton said, “I understand the continuing grief at the loss that parents experienced with the loss of these four brave Americans. I did testify as you know for 11 hours and I answered all of these questions. Now, I can’t — I can’t help it that people think there has to be something else there, I said very clearly, there had been a terrorist group that had taken responsibility on Facebook, between the time that I, you know, when I talked to my daughter, that was the latest information, we were giving it credibility, and then we learned the next day, it wasn’t true. In fact, they retracted it. This was a fast-moving series of events in the fog of war. I think most Americans understand.” Boy, she is lying once again. She told that lie for weeks after the attack it was the video.

 nObama Introduces New Taxes as to Fight Climate Change!  
{Onan Coca} ~ Climate Change is blushing. It had no idea how President Barack nObama felt about it until nObama told the folks in Paris that he had an “elegant” solution to stopping Climate Change... In an effort to care for what nObama and other Democrats see as the most pressing issue of our day (more than Islamic terrorism, more than Russian aggression, more than the economic collapse facing several important European nations, more than the continued violence and chaos in central Africa), the President has decided to tax every American citizen. When a reporter asked him, “I wonder if you see any political path back home toward putting a price on carbon?”  President nObama responded with some terribly naïve and awfully socialist sounding palaver.

 Islamocritical ex-Congressman to Atty General: “Prosecute me..."  
{Robert Spencer} ~ Loretta Lynch’s statement warning that “Islamophobic” speech would be prosecuted was just another in a long line of statements opposing the freedom of speech from nObama Administration officials... It will be interesting to see if she does prosecute Walsh. He was speaking in strong terms, but what he said was essentially accurate — there is obviously a problem with Islam, and it does include a refusal to assimilate. Muslim states around the world really don’t uphold the same values upon which the U.S. is based. This could be a most revealing prosecution. A former U.S. congressman urged Attorney General Loretta Lynch to arrest him after she warned on Thursday that her office would take a more aggressive approach to those spewing anti-Muslim rhetoric.

 At Least 20 Investigations Slowed or Closed Due To nObama Admin  
{Joe Schoffstall} ~ Numerous inspectors general say that at least 20 investigations have been slowed or closed due to government watchdogs not having access to needed documents or records under the nObama administration... Dozens of interviews of people with firsthand knowledge of the years-long problem spoke of the tensions between the watchdogs and the administration. The New York Times reports: The Drug Enforcement Administration balked at turning over emails from senior officials tied to the raids, according to the department’s inspector general. It took nearly a year of wrangling before the D.E.A. was willing to turn over all its records in a case that the inspector general said raised “serious questions” about agents’ use of deadly force. The continuing Honduran inquiry is one of at least 20 investigations across the government that have been slowed, stymied or sometimes closed because of a long-simmering dispute between the nObama administration and its own watchdogs over the shrinking access of inspectors general to confidential records, according to records and interviews.       http://freebeacon.com/issues/igs-at-least-20-investigations-slowed-or-closed-due-to-obama-admin/

 Constitution Crippling, Caliphate Creating Commie Con Artist...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ To hear Hussein nObama describe the terrorist act in San Bernardino, the United States is a Middle Eastern country that has always been Islamic and terrorism is just part of what it means to be an American.... That’s not what his words say but his tone is clearly one that accepts terrorism as a legitimate trade off for having our society become an Islamic one. Maybe as a hybrid Indonesian/Kenyan Muslim he doesn’t understand that America has actually always been a Judeo-Christian nation and as such, we’ve never before faced the barbaric depravity of Muslim society and Islam. As the illegitimate self-anointed dictator engaged in our fundamental transformation, he surely must be aware of our history. He points the fingers of blame to random acts, “just a couple of lone wolves,” and the inanimate guns that protect every right we have as Americans. He ignores his own responsibility for importing the Islamic perpetrators as well as that of his open borders “no security” Homeland Security and “everybody welcome no matter who or what you are” State Department. The entire regime is working to make us just as vulnerable as possible to terrorism and they are having some significant successes.       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23231

 UN Climate Witch Admits It’s All A Scam –  It’s About The Money   {constitutionrising.com} ~ For some reason the corrupt leaders of virtually every nation upon the earth, a sad commentary on the quality of individuals which represent the people of the human race, have elected to scam all of their populations, or to at least attempt to, into buying into the fraud of global warming... Not only did they all agree to sign on to the UN fraud upon their own people, but they’re also signing up to parasitically feed off of other nations who owe them absolutely nothing. Even more despicable and criminal is the supposed “leader of the free world,” the Marxist scumbag who is attacking the United States from within, Hussein nObama. He is engaged in a campaign of destruction aimed at emptying our nation’s treasury and driving us to ruin economically, which will precede our rapid decline in every other area as well. Apparently, for whatever reason, and it is surely not a matter of conscience, the tactic of professing to be concerned dictators, despots, tyrants and theocrats isn’t working or needs to evolve for the next part of the scheme. There were plenty of fools who bought into their false morality of sacrifice on the altar of mother Gaia. something else must be up.

 Clinton Called Out by Stephanopoulos for Flip-Flop...  
{David Rutz} ~ Hilly Clinton was asked to explain the drastic shift in her health care policy with regards to illegal immigrants Sunday on This Week... as she now supports them being allowed to buy into health care exchanges but wouldn’t cover them in her first campaign. “In the past, you’ve said that undocumented immigrants would not be covered by your health care proposal,” host George Stephanopoulos said. “Here’s an exchange we had in 2007.” Stephanopoulos then rolled tape of Clinton saying on the same show during her first, failed campaign for the presidency that no illegal immigrants would be covered under her health care plan. “Now you say that undocumented immigrants should be able to buy into the exchanges, so why the shift?” he asked.        http://freebeacon.com/issues/clinton-called-out-by-stephanpoulos-for-flip-flop-on-health-care-policy-for-illegal-immigrants-why-the-shift/

 NY Daily News Lists NRA’s LaPierre Among American Terrorists 
{Don Irvine} ~ The New York Daily News is stirring up plenty of controversy today with its cover that labels the National Rifle Association’s executive director, Wayne LaPierre... as much of a terrorist as the shooters in the San Bernardino attack and the gunmen behind other mass shootings. The cover, which features San Bernardino gunman Syed Farook and talks about his apparent Isamic radicalization, also includes pictures of the gunmen behind the Colorado Springs, Sandy Hook, Charleston and Aurora tragedies. LaPierre is there along with the others, with the text saying that the others are enabled by “the NRA’s sick gun jihad against America in the name of profit.” While the  liberal media have never tried to hide their disdain for the NRA, the Daily News’ accusation is beyond ridiculous, as it equates someone who has been defending Americans’ right to own a gun for protection with people like Farook, who wanted to kill Americans in what was apparently a real act of jihad.        http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/gone-too-far-new-york-daily-news-lists-nras-lapierre-among-american-terrorists/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email120715&utm_medium=email

 Another 264,000 American Jobs Given Away To Foreigners  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Once again the Congressional Republicans who are wholly owned by the money changer elites are brazenly and callously working against the American people in service to those who line their pockets... They’re not alone in their treachery, Democrats who are also just as treasonous are offering their support where needed in the den of corruption that is the Congress and Washington DC. Two of the more despicable chronic offenders against the American worker are House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA). Both are deceptive but unmistakable in their zeal for representing their financiers over the less affluent and monetarily insignificant American people. At issue is a rider in the upcoming funding bill which would permit the replacement of a minimum of 100,000 blue-collar workers and as many as 264,000 through the manipulation of the H-2B visa process.       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23280

Essential Questions

.
“Why do radical Muslims want to kill us?”
.
islam-at-war.jpg
.
For the last ten years of my teaching career, that was the essential question I wanted students to think about from day one in September. As the educational jargon goes: “Essential questions foster the kinds of inquiries, discussions, and reflections that help learners find meaning in their learning…” When my last principal required us all to write up every unit of instruction we used and title each with its essential question, that’s what I chose for unit one.
.
Meet-Pen.jpg
.
It’s also the question President nObama has been avoiding his entire two terms as commander-in-chief. I had good reasons for focusing on that question, and President nObama has his reasons for dodging it. I know what my reasons were. When I think of what President nObama’s reasons might be, it scares me. He’s our commander-in-chief. His primary responsibility is keeping America safe, but fewer Americans believe he knows how to do that — especially when he won’t even name our enemy.
.
Branco-Radical-Lib-600-LI.jpg
.
My essential question assumed the obvious: radical Muslims wanted to kill us and were doing so by the thousands ever since 1979 when the Islamic Republic of Iran declared war on the United States in 1979. President nObama ignored our state of war when he authorized Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry to negotiate a nuclear arms treaty with one of our biggest enemies. We’re not at war with Islam, insists President nObama. So did his predecessor, President Bush, but Iran, the most powerful country in the Islamic world, has long been in open war against us.
.
113-1.jpg
.
Radical Muslims are those who live their lives in adherence to Quranic verses such as Quran (8:12) - “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them” and Quran (5:33) - “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified…” and more than a hundred others. It doesn’t matter whether they call themselves Shia, Sunni, Boko Haram, al Shabab, Hezbollah, al Qaida, ISIS, or whatever. They all pledge to make the world Muslim and kill or enslave anyone who resists.
.
radical-islam.jpg
.
It doesn’t matter whether they’re Africans, Asians, Europeans, or Americans either. They’re all seduced by fundamental Islamic theology. What do they all have in common? They’re Muslims. That’s the simple fact President nObama and every Democrat who wants to succeed him avoids with their ubiquitous “religion of peace” rhetoric. Another essential question is: when nObama was campaigning for reelection in 2012 claiming just before the Benghazi attack that al Qaida was “on the run,” was he a liar or a fool? When telling George Stephenopoulos the morning of the Paris attacks that ISIS was contained? Same question. When he told America a week before the San Bernardino massacre that “there was no specific or credible threat to America during the holiday season,”? Same question.

I began teaching about our state of war a few years after the Islamic Republic of Iran declared it in 1979. During the 1980s the war got little attention. It got more during the 1990s when suicide bombers were blowing themselves up in Israeli busses and restaurants. My job was to teach students what motivated them. They had to learn terms like: jihad, sharia, intifada, Quran, etc. After September 11, 2001 our war came front and center. After that my lessons began on the first day of school when our media was hyper-focused on observing anniversaries of the attack, year after year.
.
.
We all know where we were on that fateful Tuesday morning. I was writing the word “jihad” on the blackboard during my first class of the day when the principal came to my door to tell me about the attack. There had been another suicide bombing in Israel the day before and I was asking my students why radical Muslims wanted to kill Jews. After 9-11, my essential question naturally morphed into “Why do radical Muslims want to kill us?”

Our leaders describe most Muslims as moderates. In response, President nObama’s ally, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan said: “These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”

Many of my former students went into combat against radical Islam in its various forms, but it continues to grow. So does the myopia of our president who tells America that climate change is a much greater threat. According to the UK’s Financial Times President nObama said the recent slaughter of over a hundred Parisians was a “setback,” and the Paris climate change talks immediately following it were his “rebuke” to the terrorists.

ROME, December 8, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Howling, grunting, and roaring animals, along with images of overcrowded city centers, depictions of pollution, and negative portrayals of industrialization, appeared on the facade of St. Peter’s Basilica this evening during a much hyped “climate change” light show.

The show was the finale of the opening celebration for the Year of Mercy declared by Pope Francis. The event was watched by tens of thousands in St. Peter’s Square along with estimated millions worldwide through online streaming.

The multi-million dollar show titled "Fiat Lux: Illuminating Our Common Home" was created and funded by climate-change partisans and population-control advocates with the goal to “educate and inspire change around the climate crisis across generations, cultures, languages, religions and class.” Along with images of the world and its endangered animals, including lions, birds, apes, and whales, appeared New Age symbolism associated with ancient pagan deities.

The show also took place on the most important Marian feast day for Catholics, the Immaculate Conception, where Catholics celebrate Mary being conceived in the womb of her mother Anne without the stain of original sin.

Many pro-family leaders from around the world say they are flabbergasted that the pope would allow St. Peter’s to be used as a backdrop for promoting the controversial and contentious “climate change” agenda.

Donald Trump Will Temporarily Stop The Bad To Keep U.S. Citizens Safe From Elitist Gain

Donald Trump Will Temporarily Ban The Bad That Keeps The Bad Politicians In Business

Muslims are muslims first over being patriot U.S. citizens. Muslims are patriots to the muslim faith and "Sharia Law" over being patriots to the foreign countries they are living in. The muslims enter the U.S., have children then teach them to be sharia patriots that are anti country they are born in. This is true in the case of hispanics also and has been proven time and time again.

The good will that has grown and has been installed since the beginning of the U.S. by the founding fathers is being abused by the "Rino" establishment republicans and communist democrats to change the U.S. constitution away from the protection of U.S. citizens to meet their ideology of changing the U.S. from a nation of citizens to a nation of their control of U.S. citizens and advancing their warped group ideology over the warped group ideology of their competitors ideology. U.S. citizen advancement and well being doesn't even factor in to their plans of making their history changing move geared towards "Self And Group Self".

The passage written on the Statue of Liberty that reads, "Bring Us Your Tired, Poor And Hungry Masses" is being used as a deception to flood the U.S. with the worlds tired, poor and hungry masses in an attempt to take the rights of U.S. citizens away and make government by the communist democrats and/or business communism pushed by the libertarian establishment republicans the dominate governing entities over U.S. citizens. Our value outlook towards immigrants and human life is being used against U.S. citizens for the personal and political gains of everything that keeps U.S. citizens under the "Control" of the elected communist democrats or libertarian communist business republicans who fight a battle against each other for control over U.S. citizens? Or will U.S. citizens rise up and install Donald Trump as president of the United States who will fight the battle to enrich U.S. citizens over the anti U.S. citizen libertarian GOP communist business power and democratic communist government entities?

Obamacare Official Under Fire

Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Oversight Subcommittee have demanded answers from the Obama administration on whether it is requiring states to pay back millions in federal dollars they used to build marketplaces that later failed.  The White House spent over $4 billion to fund state efforts to build their own exchanges.

The failure of the state exchanges have been well documented.  The crown jewel of disaster was Oregon where a corrupt governor and his political operation pulled the plug on their exchange despite a $200 million investment for fear it was doing political damage to their re-election chances. Nevada and Hawaii's exchanges were a complete bust while Maryland, Minnesota and Massachusetts couldn't get things up and running without major glitches.  Republicans became concerned about the perception that the Obama administration was using the federal exchange as a blue state piggy bank.  After the federal government paid for Maryland's exchange, the federal government sued and won a signification amount of money -- only to share some of the proceeds with the state even though Maryland never invested a dime into the exchange.  Most political observers saw the payment as hush money or an "atta boy" to reward a Blue State for their efforts to build and expand government-run health care.  

HHS' Andy Slavitt, was pressed by Rep. Tim Murphy (R-PA) at a hearing on whether states face any consequences for using federal money in ways that didn't result in successful outcomes.  

"They failed but they spent all this money and then said 'gee sorry, it didn't work out,'" Murphy said. "Is that acceptable?"

Callously, Slavitt responded that "States have the right to change their mind for a variety of reasons including technical or otherwise."  Slavitt is turning his back on the fraud and corruption in places like Oregon.

 The Truth About Mass Shootings  
Facts are stubborn things. In the wake of the Islamist attack in San Bernardino, Barack nObama trotted out the usual blame-the-gun rhetoric: "We have a pattern of mass shootings in this country with no parallel anywhere else in the world." That was after he claimed in a Tuesday press conference (in Paris, of all places), "This just doesn’t happen in other countries.” Repeat, ad nauseum. But is it really true? This doesn't happen in the Middle East, Africa and Asia? As you might guess whenever nObama opens his mouth, no, it's not true. The U.S. is pretty much in the middle of the pack for mass murder committed with firearms, both in the frequency and death rate. In fact, according to gun researcher John Lott, "In just 2015, France suffered more casualties — killings and injuries — from mass public shootings than the U.S. has suffered during nObama’s entire presidency (508 to 424)."
          As for the number of mass shooting incidents in the U.S., we've noted before that the Leftmedia uses completely BS statistics collected by anti-gun fanatics. How inflated are those numbers? The Mass Shooting Tracker website claims the San Bernardino attack was the 355th "mass shooting" this year, but its deliberately inflated definition includes, for example, non-fatal incidents with pellet guns and they count attackers in the number shot, dead or not. The Congressional Research Service, on the other hand, still defines "mass killing" widely — "three or more killings in a single incident" — and even then there were 317 mass shootings ... from 1999 to 2013. That also doesn't distinguish between a random public mass murder and a man killing his wife and in-laws. Overall, firearms-related homicides have dropped dramatically over the last two decades, all while gun ownership has greatly increased.
          So what do Democrats do? Propose the same old "universal background checks" idea that would do nothing to stop the two San Bernardino terrorists — or most other deranged killers. They want to ban "assault rifles," too, though California law is already especially strict on this. And there are reports that the couple modified at least one rifle in an attempt to make it fully automatic. Such modification is illegal in all states, but by all means let's make it super illegal this time. Oh, and using any kind of firearm to murder people is illegal everywhere, too, but that doesn't ever seem to stop murderous psychos.
          Meanwhile, leftists go out of their way to shame those who pray for the victims. Tolerance, indeed, and facts be damned along the way.

 nObama Regs Keep Stalling Job Creation  
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday morning that the U.S. economy added 211,000 jobs in November while the headline unemployment rate cruised at a low 5%. This most likely means the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later this month as Chairwoman Janet Yellen told the Senate Thursday that the board was going to examine the report, hoping to see "a continued solid trend of job creation."
          Additionally, average hourly wages increased four cents to $25.25, which puts wage growth this year at 2.3%, ever so slightly outpacing inflation. But not everything is solid, though. The U-6 measure of unemployment edged up to 9.9% because 319,000 people were forced to move to part-time work. As for the kinds of jobs created, much of the growth occurred in construction (46,000 jobs) and professional and technical services (28,000). The mining industry, however, continued to bleed from its peak last December, losing 11,000 jobs. This economic depression in the landscape of moderately good news can be attributed to the nObama administration's regulation. Its crusade against coal has decimated the economy of West Virginia, and he did unions no favors in blocking the Keystone pipeline.
          Furthermore, despite rising wages, the Left is still insisting on a $15-an-hour minimum wage, which will only increase unemployment and smother the meager gains in the average wage. So whatever happens in the coming weeks, the nObama administration cannot take credit for leading the economy out of the great recession because it's regulation-happy tendencies have exacerbated the problem.   -The Patriot Post

Clinton Flips Position on Sexual Assault  
Hilly Clinton walked into a blaring hypocrisy of her own making Thursday when a woman at a New Hampshire campaign event asked the presidential candidate about her record on sexual assault. For the past several months, Clinton tried to endear herself to feminists who want to come down harshly on anyone accused of rape. For example, Clinton tweeted Nov. 22, "Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported." On Thursday, while Clinton was sitting beneath a sign that emblazoned her logo and the words "fighting for us," a woman asked, "You recently came out to say that all rape victims should be believed? But would you say that about Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones? Should we believe them as well?" Those were some of the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault in the '90s. But instead of believing them, Hilly attacked the women, ruining their reputations. By aligning herself with her cheating husband, Clinton, who once defended a child-rapist by dragging the victim "through hell," kept her ticket to political power. In response to the question, Clinton responded, "I would say that everybody should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence." This is not the answer the people who believe men accused of rape are guilty until proven innocent wanted to hear. And frankly, as commentator Ashe Schow noted, it's an answer that leaves many other questions.   -The Patriot Post

 Illegals Rejected by Democrat Voters Sue for 'Right' to Drive  
In one of the most brazen gambits of the year, five Mexican illegal immigrants and two Latino-focused nonprofit organizations filed suit seeking to reverse Oregon voters’ rejection of a measure granting illegal immigrants state "driver's cards." Unsurprisingly, the so-called race card is an integral part of the mix.
          Measure 88, which would have provided driver’s cards to those who couldn’t prove they're in the country legally, failed by a whopping margin of 66.1% to 33.9% during the 2014 mid-term election. Voters in 35 of Oregon’s 36 counties and every congressional district in the state rejected the measure, even though Oregon is a Democrat stronghold, and the pro-illegal constituency outspent their opponents by a 10 to 1 margin.
          In other words, when Democrat voters get a say on the issue they stand in direct opposition to Democrat politicians — the very same Democrat politicians who label any resistance to their pro-amnesty agenda as bigoted and xenophobic.
          Regardless, Democrat Party allies filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Eugene, alleging that Measure 88 is unconstitutional because it is “arbitrary” and “capricious," “motivated, at least in part, by animus towards Mexicans and Central Americans,” and violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Democrat Gov. Kate Brown and Department of Transportation leaders are named as defendants in the case.  -The Patriot Post

 Black Student Threatened to Kill 'White Devils' Back on Campus  
{trey Sanchez} ~ TruthRevolt has been reporting on the black University of Chicago student who recently threatened to kill 16 "white devils" on campus... Jabari Dean was later arrested for the threat he posted online that caused one day of classes to be canceled. Now, a judge has placed the 21-year-old man under house arrest under the care of his mother and is allowing him to resume attending class. Dean's now-deemed "fake threat" stated that he would come to the school well-armed with "an M-4 carbine and two desert eagles" and shoot "16 white male students… or staff" to equal the amount of times 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot by Chicago police in which he was protesting. "I will then die killing any number of white policeman in the process," his threat continued. "This is not a joke. I am to do my part and rid the world of white devils. I expect you do the same."

Wednesday, two Muslims walked into a Christmas party at a community service center in San Bernardino, California where one worked... They were wearing body armor and video cameras and carrying automatic rifles, pipe bombs and pistols. They opened fire, killed 14, and wounded 17. The murderers, Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik were killed by police. Speaking to the Daily News, Farook’s father said his son, “was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.” Farook’s neighbor told the paper that over the past two years, Farook exchanged his Western dress for Islamic gowns and grew a beard.

 French Make MASSIVE Move Against 2,000 Muslims…  
{conservativetribune.com} ~ All of the old jokes about the French and their pusillanimity about war — you know, the “cheese eating surrender monkeys” quips — look to be a thing of the past, at least after the Paris terror attacks... Now, French authorities are taking on radical Islam, and they mean business. A two-week campaign of raids against radical Islamist targets by French counterterrorism forces has yielded 232 arrests and 334 weapons confiscations. According to France Info (via Breitbart), 34 of those weapons were “war-grade.” All in all, counterterrorism authorities have raided 2,235 homes and buildings in the wake of the Nov. 13 attacks. In addition to the weapons, illegal narcotics were found in 165 locations.

Guandolo reportedly told Breitbart that the “Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)—the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization here— is a Hamas funding entity.” He said that the ISNA collaborates with the secretary of state and the National Security Administration, and briefs the FBI and CIA.

 The U.S. is running out of bombs to drop on ISIS

As the U.S. ramps up its campaign against the Islamist terror group in Iraq and Syria, the Air Force is now "expending munitions faster than we can replenish them," Air Force chief of staff Gen. Mark Welsh said in a statement. "B-1s have dropped bombs in record numbers. F-15Es are in the fight because they are able to employ a wide range of weapons and do so with great flexibility. We need the funding in place to ensure we're prepared for the long fight," Welsh said in the statement.

 Unearthed Emails Show Hilly Lied Under Oath About THIS  
{americanactionnews.com} ~ Newly unearthed emails show Hilly Clinton lied under oath to the House Select Committee on Benghazi in her Oct. 22, 2015 sworn testimony... As The Washington Examiner reports:  Emails sent the night of the attack indicate Clinton did indeed receive updates about the unfolding violence in Benghazi via her private, unsecured email network, contrary to her testimony in an Oct. 22 hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Clinton argued last month that she had conducted the majority of her work outside of email and that she had been receiving live updates about the attack in person, not on her private server. When describing her modes of communication she used on the night of the attack, Clinton cited secure phones and the SCIF, or sensitive compartmented information facility used for viewing classified material, in her home. But Clinton defended the lack of Benghazi updates among her private emails by arguing that most of her communications did not take place over email.

 The Existential Threat To US Is nObama, Not ISIS  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Looking more like a homosexual aids patient every day, Hussein nObama is interviewed about the “non-threat” that “isn’t posed” by ISIS... In another example of his inevitable bad timing with “victory laps,” this interview was broadcast shortly before the terrorist attack in San Bernardino. nObama might want to coordinate a little closer with his ISIS foot soldiers to avoid these embarrassing false proclamations. After all, it’s in their best interest for him not to look like a bungling anti-American fool as well. Almost unbelievably, nObama said, “ISIL is not going to pose an existential threat to us,” as if the infliction of a tremendous amount of hardship is perfectly acceptable to him and perhaps, given is agenda, inevitable as a component of the creation of the North American caliphate. As long as they aren’t capable of engineering our destruction, they’re nothing he’s going to worry about. What’s thousands of dead American’s to him anyway? He’s got Secret Service protection and the threat is non-existential – who cares?

 Barbara Boxer: California is Living Proof that Gun Control Works

The Blaze reported: Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) stunned many Thursday when she expressed support for gun control legislation by pointing to the supposed success of such laws in California. “Sensible gun laws work,” Boxer told reporters. “We’ve proven it in California.” The two San Bernardino attackers, who killed 14 and wounded more than a dozen Wednesday, purchased all four of their guns legally, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Thursday. It come to show you that Box is one fool and retiring is the best thing for her.

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ BAIJI, Iraq - On the front lines of the battle against the Islamic State, suspicion of the United States runs deep. Iraqi fighters say they have all seen the videos purportedly showing U.S. helicopters airdropping weapons to the militants, and many claim they have friends and relatives who have witnessed similar instances of collusion.
.
Ordinary people also have seen the videos, heard the stories and reached the same conclusion - one that might seem absurd to Americans but is widely believed among Iraqis - that the United States is supporting the Islamic State for a variety of pernicious reasons that have to do with asserting American control over Iraq, the wider Middle East and, perhaps, its oil.
.
"It is not in doubt," said Mustafa Saadi, who says his friend saw U.S. helicopters delivering bottled water to Islamic State positions. He is a commander in one of the Shiite militias that last month helped push the militants out of the oil refinery near Baiji in northern Iraq alongside the Iraqi army.
.
The Islamic State is "almost finished," he said. "They are weak. If only America would stop supporting them, we could defeat them in days."
.
U.S. military officials say the charges are too far-fetched to merit a response. "It's beyond ridiculous," said Col. Steve Warren, the military's Baghdad-based spokesman. "There's clearly no one in the West who buys it, but unfortunately, this is something that a segment of the Iraqi population believes."
.
The perception among Iraqis that the United States is somehow in cahoots with the militants it claims to be fighting appears, however, to be widespread across the country's Sunni-Shiite sectarian divide, and it speaks to more than just the troubling legacy of mistrust that has clouded America's relationship with Iraq since the 2003 invasion and the subsequent withdrawal eight years later.
.
At a time when attacks by the Islamic State in Paris and elsewhere have intensified calls for tougher action on the ground, such is the level of suspicion with which the United States is viewed in Iraq that it is unclear whether the nObama administration would be able to significantly escalate its involvement even if it wanted to.
.
"What influence can we have if they think we are supporting the terrorists?" asked Kirk Sowell, an analyst based in neighboring Jordan who publishes the newsletter Inside Iraqi Politics.
.
In one example of how little leverage the United States now has, Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi pushed back swiftly against an announcement Tuesday by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter that an expeditionary force of U.S. troops will be dispatched to Iraq to conduct raids, free hostages and capture Islamic State leaders.
.
Carter did not say how many soldiers would be deployed or where. Iraq's semiautonomous region of Kurdistan, where support for the United States remains strong, has said it would welcome more troops. But Abadi indicated they would not be needed.
.
"There is no need for foreign ground combat troops," he said in a statement. "Any such support and special operations anywhere in Iraq can only be deployed subject to the approval of the Iraqi Government and in coordination with the Iraqi forces and with full respect to Iraqi sovereignty."
.
The allegations of American collusion with the Islamic State are aired regularly in parliament by Shiite politicians and promoted in postings on social media. They are persistent enough to suggest a deliberate campaign on the part of Iran's allies in Iraq to erode American influence, U.S. officials say.
.
In one typical recent video that appeared on the Facebook page of a Shiite militia, a lawmaker with the country's biggest militia group, the Badr Organization, waves apparently new U.S military MREs (meals ready to eat) - one of them chicken and dumplings - allegedly found at a recently captured Islamic State base in Baiji, offering proof, he said, of U.S. support.
.
"The Iranians and the Iranian-backed Shiite militias are really pushing this line of propaganda, that the United States is supporting ISIL," Warren said. "It's part of the Iranian propaganda machine."
.
The perception plays into a widening rift within Iraq's ruling Shiite elite over whether to pivot more toward Iran or the United States. Those pushing the allegations "want to create a narrative that Iran is our ally and the United States is our enemy, and this undermines Abadi, who is America's ally," Sowell said.
.
Iraqi government officials say they don't believe the charges, and point out that Abadi regularly pushes back against them. But Abadi's own position has weakened in recent months. He is battling for his political survival against a variety of Shiite militia leaders whose power has been bolstered by the increasingly dominant role played by the militias, collectively known as Hashd al-Shaabi, or popular mobilization units.
.
Iraqi officials complain that their task is hampered by what is universally perceived as the lackluster U.S. response to the threat posed by the Islamic State.
.
"We don't believe the Americans support Daesh," said Naseer Nouri, spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State. "But it is true that most people are saying they do, and they are right to believe that the Americans should be doing much more than they are. It's because America is so slow that most people believe they are supporting Daesh."
.
U.S. warplanes routinely fail to respond to requests for air support because of U.S. rules of engagement that preclude strikes if there is a risk civilians may be hit, he said. According to Warren, that standard frequently is not met. The United States has conducted more than 3,768 strikes in Iraq as of Nov. 19, according to the U.S. military, and the tempo of strikes has increased lately, U.S. officials say.
.
But it also appears that the fighters are unaware when they do receive U.S. air support. The U.S. military reported near-daily strikes in support of the offensive to recapture Baiji last month and continues to respond regularly to requests for strikes in the vicinity, Warren said.
.
The fighters there insist there have been no strikes by the Americans at all. "We'd be better off without them," said 1st Lt. Murtada Fadl, who is serving with the Iraqi Special Forces in Baiji. He said that the only air support had come from the Iraqi air force and that he wishes the government would ask the Russians to replace the Americans.
.
In a part of the world where outcomes are often confused with intentions and regional complexities enable conspiracy theories to thrive, the notion that the United States is colluding with the Islamic State holds a certain logic, according to Mustafa Alani, director of the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center. Most Arabs are too in awe of American might to believe that it is deliberately adopting a minimalist approach, he said.
.
"The reason is that the Americans aren't doing the job people expect them to do," he said. "Mosul was lost and the Americans did nothing. Syria was lost and the Americans did nothing. Paris is attacked and the Americans aren't doing much. So people believe this is a deliberate policy. They can't believe the American leadership fails to understand the developments in the region, and so the only other explanation is that this is part of a conspiracy."
.
On the streets of Baghdad, most Iraqis see no other explanation.
.
"The image of the U.S. was damaged in the region, so they created Daesh in order to fight them and restore their image," said Mohammed Abdul Khaleq, a journalist for a local TV station who was drinking coffee in a cafe favored by writers, most of whom said they agreed.
.
A rare dissenting voice was offered by Hassan Abdul-Wahab, 23, selling luggage in a nearby shop. "It is true that most people believe that," he said. "But it's not based on reason. It's based on racism - because Iraqis don't like Americans in the first place."

Apply 10th Amendment to Online Gambling

Tomorrow the House Government Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on Las Vegas casino owner Sheldon Adelson's pet project -- an effort to stifle his potential competition by outlawing the ability of states to legalize online gaming.  Dan Schneider of the American Conservative Union makes a persuasive case why such an effort is not only folly, but destructive of the Constitution:

The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified 224 years ago — almost to the day — to ensure that the rights of the people would be protected from a government in Washington, D.C., eager to impose its will on them. Unless a power is specifically delegated to the federal government under the Constitution, it is “reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” 

The Framers called for this protection — and the American people ratified it as part of the Bill of Rights — because they did not want a national government hundreds of miles from their homes dictating how they lived their daily lives. Except to preserve our constitutionally guaranteed rights, that kind of authority must reside with the people and is shared only with their state legislatures.

Of course, liberals bent on forcing their collective will on the public do not like the 10th Amendment. That is why every conservative congressman must stand firmly with the 10th Amendment and resist the temptation to impose their own policy preferences when they fall outside the powers delegated to the federal government. 

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is a good conservative with a Boehner-era American Conservative Union (ACU) rating of 88 percent. That is a very respectable score that roughly correlates with his alignment to the 10th Amendment. Chaffetz and many of Utah’s political leaders strongly support transferring certain federal lands back to the states. Clearly, Chaffetz understands that state and local governments are better equipped and motivated to enhance environmental health and economic productivity than nameless, faceless bureaucrats in Washington can ever hope to achieve. The ACU also applauds Chaffetz’s efforts to restore the rights of the states to establish their own taxing systems. This issue is often horribly mischaracterized by certain opponents, so the congressman’s support of states’ rights in this instance shows courage, and we respect him for it. 

However, conservative principles are not something that members of Congress can pick and choose to adopt when it’s convenient. To do so would create a slippery slope that would erode the basic foundations of our federal-state system. Just as we encourage every member of Congress to strengthen their conservative ratings, we hope that all members make this point clear in the upcoming hearing in the Oversight Committee that Chaffetz has called to consider the issue of Internet gambling later this week. 

The ACU understands that gambling harms some people. Scientific American magazine recently cited surveys showing that about one-half of 1 percent of Americans are addicted to gambling. While we do not want to diminish the tragedy of addiction, we don’t see how federal intervention could be superior to a state response to this problem, or why the heavy hand of the federal government should be allowed to trump the 10th Amendment when the percentage of impacted Americans is so miniscule. States have already proven that they have the ability to prohibit gambling or approve and regulate it. 

It is also important to note that no bill in Congress would or could ban online gambling, in part because it is impossible to prevent foreign operators in places like the Caribbean, China, and Russia from bringing their gambling business into U.S. markets. Moreover, Chaffetz’s bill would allow some domestic Internet gambling and prevent others, essentially picking the winners and losers. FanDuel and DraftKings are just two examples. And, for years, Americans have been legally allowed to bet on horse racing over the Internet.

As strong supporters of the 10th Amendment, the ACU will never forget that when we grow the power of the federal government to limit people’s freedoms, we also empower it to mandate other aspects of our lives (e.g., the Little Sisters of the Poor under the ObamaCare mandates). Therefore, we would need to see significant, broad-based harm before even entertaining the idea of federal usurpation of states’ rights. We do not see that kind of harm here, nor do we see any tangible benefit from adopting such a scheme.

Similarly, as explained in an interview with William F. Buckley Jr. in 1967, then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan explained there is, in fact, “a very practical advantage” for allowing the states to govern themselves on thorny issues. Reagan noted that the advantage is this: If conditions are so terrible in one state, the federal system of 50 states gives citizens the right to vote with their feet. As long as the rules and the regulations and the taxes are not uniform, there’s a kind of built-in control on how bad a state government can get, because if it passes a certain point, the people just pack up and move to another state where things are better. We should look very carefully on throwing away this control. Let’s say that all the rules become uniform; then, if you object to the policies of government, where do you go?

Reagan got it right. Honoring the rights of states not only generates the kind of laboratories of learning envisioned by the Framers, it also prevents one state from forcing its will on another. It would be a sad day, indeed, if Nevada were permitted to dictate to the people of Utah what kinds of gambling would be permitted in Salt Lake City.

Moreover, it’s not Congress’s job to pick winners and losers. Using the federal government to target certain competitors may be very good for the profits of some favored businesses, but it is by no means an appropriate way to set policy. Although we understand the substantial downside to irresponsible gambling, it is not a proper use of the federal government to preserve the profits and success of a single company’s business plan.

Conservatives recognize and understand that each state should set its own policies under the rights guaranteed by 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Conservatives trust the states to know what is right. Furthermore, conservatives trust our fellow Americans to understand that all people should be treated equally under the law with favoritism toward none. We urge all members of the House Oversight Committee to stand for the principles in our Constitution.

Obama’s Oral Orifice Manure Spreading

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

oral-1.jpg?width=237On Sunday night, Barack Hussein Obama stood in the Oval Office spreading manure from his oral orifice regarding how great his strategy of combating Islamic terrorism has been working and how, if we just stay the course, doing what he says, doing more of the same…everything will be okay.

That strategy, by the way, has been in place from the moment a 7th century Islamic barbarian shot up a U.S. military recruiting station in Littlerock Arkansas in June of 2009. That strategy has been in place through the Navy Shipyard Islamic terrorist attack, the one in Chattanooga, the one at the Boston Marathon, it was in place when an Islamic barbarian attacked four NYC police officers with a hatchet, and in place when another Islamic barbarian, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, assassinated two NYC police offices as they sat in their squad car.

It’s the exact same strategy that was in place when two Islamic barbarians tried to attack an art exhibit in Garland Texas…and it was exactly the same strategy, the strategy Obama says is the only way to keep us safe that was in place last week when yet two more Islamic terrorists…barbarians…shot and killed 14 while leaving 21 wounded in San Bernardino California and to be clear, those two had designs on killing many, many more.

Oh, Obama did have a new wrinkle to toss into his manure spreader…

Township High School District 211 in suburban Chicago settled its ongoing dispute last week with the federal Department of Education (DoE) concerning a biologically male student who wants to use the girls’ changing room because he thinks he’s a she. Though the school district had already substantially indulged the boy’s delusions it was until recently insisting that the boy use a “privacy curtain” when disrobing, a compromise which the student and the federal government found unconscionable.

The recent agreement reached between the school district and the feds stipulates that “the school district will provide multiple changing areas with privacy curtains, for the student and any others who want privacy.” So now everyone gets a privacy curtain and it’s up to each student whether to use it.

It should come as no surprise that the student and the ACLU still aren’t happy with the resolution. Though the school district can now claim that it’s providing all the “girls”—both real and imagined—equal access to private changing areas, the transgender “girl’s” mere presence in the locker room has precipitated a policy change that falls short of full victory for transgender “rights.” Clearly, the school district is still treating him as a different kind of girl—which he is, of course. He’s a “girl” with a penis—a make-believe girl. “Girls” with penises tend to be treated differently than girls without them and that makes “girls” with penises feel marginalized. Boo hoo.

Just how did we reach this crescendo of madness? We “interpreted” ourselves here, of course! There is no law on the books that requires any school district to allow a boy access to the girls’ locker room no matter how he “identifies.” The Obama Administration has nonetheless conjured up a novel interpretation from an old and undeservedly venerated law to achieve his policy goal.

According to the New York Times: “In a letter sent Monday, the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education told the Palatine district that requiring a transgender student to use private changing and showering facilities was a violation of that student’s rights under Title IX, a federal law that bans sex discrimination.”

It’s hard to see how. Separate locker rooms are in and of themselves sex discriminatory—further proof that discrimination is not always bad and that we all do it every day. Unless it’s the DoEt’s position that male and female locker rooms should be integrated, they’re also supportive of sex discrimination. But that’s not their position, nor is it the student’s position or that of the ACLU. They support keeping boys out of the girls’ room but they insist that the student in question is a girl like any other and deserves to be treated as such. Anything less is a violation of “her” rights under Title IX, they argue.

Except it isn’t. Title IX was never intended to shield gender dysphoric people from reality. It addresses discrimination based on sex. Even today, “sex” is understood to be assigned at birth as either male or female, with “gender”—a much more fluid concept—being used to describe how one feels about that reality. The two words used to be synonymous though they have since diverged. Bruce Jenner, for example, belongs to the female gender (because he says so) but to the male sex (because his chromosomes say so.)

Title IX does not concern itself with “gender identity” or even “gender.” Its intention was to remedy sexism in educational institutions not “cisgender privilege” or some other silly buzz word. The elected representatives who wrote it and voted on it would not recognize this perversion of the legislation, and wouldn’t have passed it if they had known it would be “interpreted” this way.

Nondiscrimination laws lend themselves to this kind of abuse. As I have written in previous columns, I stand in opposition to all private sector nondiscrimination laws. Granted, the aforementioned locker room controversy is found completely within the realm of government so I will also add that even public sector nondiscrimination laws should be carefully considered, narrowly focused, and strictly adhered to. Bureaucrats should not be allowed to get away with creative (mis)interpretations that clearly depart from the spirit and the letter of the law.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 offers an excellent example of a law that was twisted after its passage into something very different than what Americans were sold on. It sailed to victory over the stubborn objections of southern Democrats precisely because it was understood as government-enforced race neutrality, something most Americans assented to. In application it has been something else entirely.

As historian Dominic Sandbrook explained in his book “Mad as Hell”: “Hubert Humphrey, who steered the bill through the Senate, claimed that under no circumstances would it impose any kind of mandatory quotas. If anyone could find any evidence of quotas, he remarked, ‘I will start eating the pages one after another, because it is not there.’ But affirmative action was to prove a good example of the way in which laws can have completely different effects from those anticipated. To cut a very long story short, by the early 1970s there had been a radical change in the ethos of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)… [S]oon the EEOC decided that the problem was not individual prejudice but entrenched discrimination, and started judging cases not by the employer’s intentions but by the end results. Even when the commission could not prove deliberate discrimination, it pushed for change, using hearings to embarrass companies into hiring more minority workers.”

Hubert Humphrey never ate a single page. To my knowledge, he has never apologized or even admitted that he was wrong. Only Barry Goldwater has apologized for his opposition to the bill; though he shouldn’t have because he was right. What a crap sandwich that thing is.

In the wrong person’s hands, nondiscrimination laws can be “interpreted” to mean almost anything. They nearly always become leviathans of big government—and probably not by accident.

A fine example can be found in the Justice Department’s 2012 directive to employers to hire felons or else! Discriminating on the basis of felony conviction is not illegal, of course, though the EEOC found that, under most circumstances, refusing to hire felons amounts to illegal race discrimination because felons are disproportionately black and Hispanic. No need to pass a new law, those laws already on the books can just be “reinterpreted” to the desired effect. If an employer can prove that he has a good reason not to hire felons he’s in the clear, though the government, not the employer, is the final arbiter. This policy was never voted on by our elected representatives because it would never pass if it were. It’s just another one of Eric Holder’s halfbaked ideas.

Another example—in 2006, the City of Philadelphia came down hard on Joey Vento, a second generation Italian-American and owner of Geno’s, one of the city’s landmark cheese steak shops, for placing a sign in the window reading “This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING ‘SPEAK ENGLISH.’” There was absolutely nothing illegal about this sign. Even private sector nondiscrimination laws, as unjust as they are, only force business owners to serve classes of people. Geno’s served anyone ordering in the English language. Yes, the reason Vento hung the sign is because the neighborhood had experienced an influx of Hispanic immigrants who didn’t have the common courtesy to learn the language of their host nation. Vento, however, would serve anyone who ordered in English and no one who ordered in a foreign language. Race was not a factor. City officials nonetheless accused him of racial discrimination and tried to use the city’s nondiscrimination code against him—a code that did not say what they wanted it to say and that was never intended to be used in the manner that they tried to use it. Mr. Vento didn’t back down and he eventually won his case though it took nearly two years and damaged his reputation as a businessman.

I could go on and on with examples but you get the point. Nondiscrimination laws are often applied any which way the powers-that-be decide to apply them and against whomever they dislike. The mere fact that one has not broken the law might make for a valid defense–but don’t bet the farm on it. It isn’t difficult for a scoundrel, acting in bad faith, to “reinterpret” them to mean virtually anything. And who’s to stop such a scoundrel? Only the voters, of course.
