The Fox Business Debate: My Take

The Fox Business Debate

Imo,  Rubio stepped up.

Trump bullied Fiorina (booed by the audience)

Then there's...(oh god)...Kasich... He makes the likes of Biden and Quayle look like INTELLECTUALS!  Here is evidence that having been a  governor does not automiacally qualify a person to be potus.

And the GOP princess, little Jebbie, should quietly go away w/ John Kasich. 

And that's my take in a nutshell!

 U.S. Intelligence Suspects Islamic State Downed Aircraft  
Egyptian and Russian officials say it was not an act of terrorism that downed a Russian passenger plane over the Sinai Peninsula Saturday, killing all 224 people on board. Hossam Kamal, the Egyptian minister for civil aviation, said Thursday, "The investigation team does not have yet any evidence or data confirming this hypothesis." However, U.S. intelligence witnessed a flash of light on an infrared military satellite, which could have been caused by an exploding fuel tank or a bomb. Additionally, members of the intelligence community have told the American press in off-record interviews that they picked up jihadist chatter about the downed plane. This comes as the Islamic State franchise operating in the Sinai Peninsula released a recording taking credit for the aviation disaster. So far, America has no skin in the game. It's not part of the investigation, and most of the civilian deaths were Russians. But its theory is backed by British intelligence, which also theorizes that a bomb planted on the aircraft sent it tumbling from the sky. And Britain is worried enough to suspend flights in the region. It is in Russian and Egyptian interests to deny the incident was a terrorist attack in an effort to present a façade of security. Egypt has its tourism dollars to defend. Russia has ignored the Islamic State in order to bomb Syrian rebels battling the Assad regime. If U.S. intelligence proves true, then it's within Russia's interests to smoke some Islamic State fighters — that is, if the Kremlin can bring itself to acknowledge the truth.  -The Patriot Post

 Bad News: Global Warming Is Ruining Sex Lives  
What does climate change have to do with sex? According to a new study — and no, we're not making this up — global warming is heating up everything except people's love lives. "Climate change has been blamed for many things over the years. Never, until now, has anyone thought it was possible to see it as a kind of contraceptive," writes Bloomberg's Eric Roston. Apparently, global warming is the one contraceptive alarmists won't embrace. "Hot weather leads to diminished 'coital frequency,' according to a new working paper put out by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Three economists studied 80 years of U.S. fertility and temperature data and found that when it's hotter than 80 degrees F, a large decline in births follows within 10 months. Would-be parents tend not to make up for lost time in subsequent, cooler months. An extra 'hot day' ... leads to a 0.4 percent drop in birth rates nine months later, or 1,165 fewer deliveries across the U.S. A rebound in subsequent months makes up just 32 percent of the gap."
          Assuming no significant steps are taken to curb greenhouse gases, the study predicts 2.6% fewer births between 2070 and 2099 in the U.S. as the number of 80-degree days will allegedly rise. But since when are they worried about insufficient childbirths? The subtitle to the Bloomberg article states that "fewer babies would be bad news" — and we agree. But some warmists advocate population controls as a panacea to climate change. Moreover, according to Roston, "Control over the climate at home might make a difference [in sexual intercourse]. The researchers suggest that the rise of air conditioning may have helped offset some heat-related fertility losses in the U.S. since the 1970s." But air conditioning contributes to CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Are they now suggesting more of that is now a good thing? As usual, this study points out more contradictions than it does actual problems. Oh the lonely lives of ecofascists.  -The Patriot Post

 Ousted: San Fran Sheriff Who Released Illegal Murderer  
Among the numerous off-year election losses for Democrats around the country in Tuesday, San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi was ousted in a landslide loss to Vicki Hennessy, a former sheriff's official. Mirkarimi wasn't exactly the most competent sheriff, having failed a marksmanship test and briefly lost his driver's license after an unreported accident. But his real claim to infamy was the deliberate release of Mexican illegal immigrant Francisco Sanchez, who subsequently murdered Kate Steinle this past summer and thus became the ugly face of sanctuary city policies. Sanchez was deported several times and federal immigration officials requested that Mirkarimi hold him, but the sheriff refused. While Hennessy mildly criticized Mirkarimi for the release, it doesn't appear she's exactly a border hawk or that the release was the only or even primary factor in Mirkarimi's defeat. San Francisco became a sanctuary city for illegals in 1989, and even in the face of Steinle's murder, the city council unanimously refused to change that. So while Mirkarimi's defeat is welcome, this is still Nancy Pulosi's territory. We don't expect any seismic shifts away from mindless leftism.
          By the way, did we mention Barack nObama just released 6,000 prisoners?  -The Patriot Post

 nObama Proves to Be a Heavy Load for Dems  
Just three days after Halloween, the specter of Barack nObama’s disastrous presidency haunted voting booths across the country, delivering sweeping — and in some cases stunning — victories for Republicans nationwide.
          Most newsworthy was conservative Republican Matt Bevin’s upset win over state Attorney General Jack Conway to secure Kentucky’s governorship. Nearly every poll leading up to the election showed Conway in the lead, but Bevin delivered a nine-point win in the only poll that matters — counted votes. He became just the second Republican governor elected in the last half century. And Bevin is hardly a middle-of-the-road Republican. He openly campaigned on his conservative social positions and vocally supported county clerk Kim Davis in her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
          By the way, Bevin’s lieutenant governor-elect is Jenean Hampton, a self-made woman who worked herself up from poverty, retired from the Air Force at the rank of Captain, and is a Tea Party candidate endorsed by Rand Paul. And she's the first black woman to be elected to a statewide office in Kentucky.
          Bevin and Hampton weren't alone in tasting victory in the Bluegrass State. Down-ballot, the incumbent state auditor, Adam Edelen, whom Democrats hoped would challenge Sen. Paul next year, was ousted by Republican State Rep. Mike Harmon. As Paul noted of Democrats’ stunning losses in his state, “Not only has President nObama destroyed the party in Kentucky, he’s destroyed the bench. The bench that was supposed to rise up and run for office — that’s gone.”   -The Patriot Post

 Violating the Muslim Status Quo  
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ The Secretary of State of the United States traveled to the Muslim country of Jordan to assure its Foreign Minister that Jews would not be praying any more at the holiest site in Judaism... As hanoi-Kerry put it, “It is Muslims who pray on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif and non-Muslims who visit.” Israel is often accused of apartheid and segregation, but here was the Secretary of State championing both, as long as it was Muslim segregation aimed at Jews. The Temple Mount “Status Quo” worriedly talked about by hanoi-Kerry and the media as the answer to the recent Muslim stabbing spree is no different than the Muslim ban on Jews entering the Cave of the Patriarchs, where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried, past the seventh step. It rewards Muslim violence by upholding Muslim segregationist racism. There’s no word on whether segregated drinking fountains will be put in for Muslims and non-Muslims. Jews visiting the former site of their Temple have been attacked for drinking from an “Islamic” water fountain. What gives hanoi-Kerry the right to ban Jews from Temple Mount?       http://www.aim.org/guest-column/violating-the-muslim-status-quo/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email110515&utm_medium=emai

 Jihad Training Camps Inside America, nObama’s FBI Does NOTHING 
{conservativetribune.com} ~ If the fact that there are 23 jihad training camps within U.S. borders isn’t frightening enough, the fact that president Barack nObama has done absolutely nothing about them should be... According to a document released by the Clarion Project, 23 confirmed terrorist Jihad compounds belonging to Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakastan Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda-related organization, were operating within our own borders. Jamaat ul-Fuqra is known to be an extremely militant group of international terrorists. The compounds allaegedly provide paramilitary training to new recruits for jihad against America.

 nObamatrade condemned by both Left, Right  
{JEROME R. CORSI} ~ The nObama administration’s release Thursday of the more than 2,000 pages of the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, known more commonly as nObamatrade, has prompted a rash of criticism from both the political left and the right... Critics charge the pact undermines U.S. sovereignty by establishing a secret, unaccountable TransPacific Partnership Commission with sweeping regulatory powers over 40 percent of the world’s economy while sending jobs abroad. “This trade agreement would allow foreign corporations to challenge our health, safety and environmental protections in a foreign tribunal outside our legal system, and it would weaken those bedrock safeguards in the United States,” said Jake Schmidt, international program director at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “While there are some positive conservation measures, the agreement’s substantial shortcomings should lead Congress to reject it.”

 How ISIS continues to extinguish Christians ...  
{Palmer Williamsow} ~ The Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) reign of terror continues to ravage Iraq and Syria.  For months,we have been detailing how Christians and other religious minorities who live in ISIS occupied territory have faced devastating persecution at the hands of these jihadists... The United States Department of State has just released its own comprehensive International Religious Freedom (IRF) report, which details the horrors that religious minorities have been facing in the region at the hands of ISIS militants. This year’s report details the actions of Non-State Actors, including rebel and terrorist organizations, who committed by far some of the most egregious human rights abuses and caused significant damage to the global status of respect for religious freedom. In some cases, government failure, delay, and inadequacy in combatting these groups and other societal actors had severe consequences for people living under dire religious freedom conditions.        http://aclj.org/persecuted-church/how-isis-continues-to-extinguish-christians-in-the-cradle-of-christianity?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=newsletter-1

 Why Wait For Iran? – TPP IS Death To America...  
One of the countless problems with the way trade agreements are “negotiated” in the interest of the money changers who have hijacked our government is that they can designate anything they like as free or fair trade... They could describe North Korea as the world’s gold standard for free trade, a model to be emulated and there would be absolutely no objections in response of any consequence. Their untrue claims would continue to stand and then be repeated. They can and have similarly called the dump truck load of manure that is the Trans-Pacific Partnership whatever they want in order to sell it to the American people. Those, such as Speaker Paul Ryan, who support it will continue to call it by the benign-sounding misnomer. The soft-propaganda technique of repeating the lie until it is accepted as truth is quite effective. For Americans the perception of “free” anything equates with fairness, but the world is not a fair place. Different countries have different standards of living and their currencies are valued differently. So-called Free trade is a bad deal for the American people. There is a reason why Malaysians, Japanese and Chileans don’t come to America to set up manufacturing operations, why they are instead the hosts of American companies that have moved their manufacturing operations out of the United States. They can’t afford to pay an American wage and remain in business. That reality is not going to change just because a stack of paper was signed. What will change is the complexion of the workforce in the United States. Four things will be coming to our shores as the result of this foreign and corporate pilferage of America, the TPP.

 Taxpayers could pay for Iran’s purchase of US-manufactured planes  
{Pamela Geller} ~ The fallout from nObama’s Iran deal just keeps getting worse. Now US taxpayers are liable to end up funding Iran’s terrorist activities... The legacy of Barack nObama is going to be bloody international terrorism on a massive scale, and untold numbers of destroyed lives. Taxpayers could end up footing the bill for Iran’s purchase of American-manufactured planes thanks to legislation passed on Thursday that critics say facilitates U.S. support for an Iranian commercial airline sector frequently used in service of its international terrorist proxies. The day before, it rejected an amendment to the legislation that would have prohibited Ex-Im financing for governments that the State Department classifies as state sponsors of terrorism. There are three countries currently on that list: Syria, Sudan, and Iran.        http://pamelageller.com/2015/11/taxpayers-could-pay-for-irans-purchase-of-us-manufactured-planes.html/

 nObama Shows ‘Disdain’ for Americans With Keystone Decision  
{ Morgan Chalfant} ~ One of the largest unions of construction workers slammed President nObama for his decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline Friday... accusing the president of showing “utter disdain” for the American worker. Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), accused nObama of bending to special interest groups by choosing to decline TransCanada’s proposal to build the pipeline in pursuit of his climate change agenda. “President nObama today demonstrated that he cares more about kowtowing to green-collar elitists than he does about creating desperately needed, family-supporting, blue-collar jobs,” O’Sullivan said in a statement Friday. “After a seven-year circus of cowardly delay, the president’s decision to kill the Keystone XL  pipeline is just one more indication of an utter disdain and disregard for salt-of-the-earth, middle-class working Americans.”

 Clinton Signed NDA - Criminal Penalties for Mishandling Classified   
{Lachlan Markay} ~ As the nation’s chief diplomat, Hilly Clinton was responsible for ascertaining whether information in her possession was classified and acknowledged that “negligent handling” of that information could jeopardize national security, according to a copy of an agreement she signed upon taking the job... A day after assuming office as secretary of state, Clinton signed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement that laid out criminal penalties for “any unauthorized disclosure” of classified information.

 Hilly Warned of Repeated Attempts to Breach State Personal Email   
{Lachlan Markay} ~ Malicious actors routinely attempted to hack the personal email accounts of senior State Department officials during Hilly Clinton’s tenure as the nation’s chief diplomat, an internal memo reveals... The February 2011 memo, obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute through an open records request and shared with theWashington Free Beacon, warned of “a dramatic increase … in attempts by redacted to compromise the private home e-mail accounts of senior State Department officials.” All of Clinton’s official email communications as secretary of state took place through a personal email address housed on a “homebrew” server in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home. According to the memo, written specifically for Clinton by Eric Boswell, then the State Department’s top diplomatic security official, the unnamed hackers were attempting to breach officials’ email accounts via a technique known as “phishing.”       http://freebeacon.com/issues/hillary-warned-in-2011-of-repeated-attempts-to-breach-state-officials-personal-email-accounts/

 Palestinians: A World of Lies, Deception and Fabrications  
{Bassam Tawil} ~ Sadly, the Palestinian Authority (PA) leaders are continuing to bury their heads in the sand and lying to everyone -- from their people to the international community... The current wave of Palestinian terrorism has entered its fourth week, but our leaders, above all the PA President Mahmoud Abbas, are continuing to talk about a "peaceful, popular uprising" against Israel. This wave of Palestinian stabbings, shootings and vehicular ramming has been anything but either "popular" or "peaceful." President Abbas and his top PLO and Fatah leaders have yet to explain to us what is peaceful and popular about stabbing an 80-year-old lady named Ruti Malka in Rishon Lezion, and a 70-year-old Jewish woman Jerusalem. Instead of denouncing the terror attacks perpetrated by his people, Abbas continues to attack Israel for shooting the knife-wielding assailants to stop them. He has not missed one opportunity in the past four weeks to make false and libelous accusations against Israel. These include claims that Israelis are carrying out "summary executions" of "innocent" Palestinian men and women. In reality, these "innocent" Palestinian men and women were "merely" in the process of trying to stab people to death.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6829/palestinians-fabrication-deception

Hilly Clinton and nObama’s Lies on Benghazi —
Too Many to Count, but Let’s Try

{aim.org} ~ People died. Hilly lied.
.
nObama lied, too.
.
They lied early.
.
They lied often.
.
They lied deliberately.
.
     They lied about the slaughter of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, at the hands of al-Qaeda-tied terrorists.
.
     They lied, but not to protect vital national secrets or flummox America’s enemies.
.
They lied to get reelected.
.
And they lied directly, knowingly, and repeatedly to the American people.
.
     Although I am a confirmed and consistent critic of Hilly and nObama, I long had cut them some slack regarding their first comments about the Benghazi attack. Thanks to the fog of war, I thought, they could not be blamed if they initially misattributed this deadly onslaught to a mob inflamed about an incredibly amateur Internet video that dissed the Prophet Mohammad. If they innocently got it wrong in, say, the first twelve hours after the assault began, they might deserve a grudging pass – at least for those early announcements.
.
     Alas, I was unjustifiably generous toward Hilly and nObama. Instead, I should have been profoundly cynical.
.
     As FactCheck.org chronicled on Friday, and L. Gordon Crovitz detailed in the Wall Street Journal on Monday, Clinton issued a statement on the attack at 10:32 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 11, 2012. It read, in part: “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.”
.
But that was a lie.
.
     At 11:12 p.m., just 40 minutes later, Hilly e-mailed her daughter, Chelsea, with the truth: “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group.” Hilly’s e-mail was addressed to “Diane Reynolds,” Chelsea’s code name. This smoking e-mail surfaced during Hilly’s October 22 hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
.
     At 11:49 p.m., Hilly contacted Libyan president Mohamed Magariaf, also with the truth: “There is a gun battle ongoing, which I understand Ansar al Sharia is claiming responsibility for.” This group is al-Qaeda’s Libyan franchisee.
.
The next day, September 12, 2012, Hilly resumed her public lies:
.
     “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet,” she said in a speech at the State Department. “America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none.”
.
     Echoing Hilly’s lie du jour, nObama chimed in with his own lie that day: “Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths,” he declared in the Rose Garden. “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None.”
.
     nObama’s press secretary, Jay Carney, lied even more explicitly that day: “We have no information to suggest that it was a planned attack.”
.
     Hilly toggled back to private-truth mode at 3:04 p.m., when she phoned Hisham Qandil, prime minister in Egypt’s Islamist Muslim Brotherhood government. She told him: “We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack – not a protest. Based on the information we saw today, we believe that the group that claimed responsibility for this was affiliated with al-Qaeda.”
.
     “You can’t be square with the American people,” Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) said about Hilly’s initial statements on Benghazi. “You tell your family it’s a terrorist attack, but not the American people. You can tell the president of Libya it’s a terrorist attack, but not the American people. And you can tell the Egyptian prime minister it’s a terrorist attack, but you can’t tell your own people the truth.”
.
     Hilly reverted to public lies that September 14, during the ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base in which she and nObama welcomed home the flag-draped caskets of U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, technical officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
.
     “We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with,” Hilly said.
.
     Hilly took things a totalitarian step further when – according to Tyrone Woods’s father, Charles – Hilly told him, “We will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”
.
     “You had a video released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character, who has an extremely offensive video directed at Mohammad and Islam,” nObama told TV host David Letterman on September 18. nObama added that “extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of embassies, including the consulate in Libya.”
.
     The U.S. embassy in Pakistan spent $70,000 distributing a recording on September 20, 2012, in which Hilly said that America “had absolutely nothing to do with this video” that supposedly sparked the Benghazi attack.
.
     Fully 14 days after learning that the Benghazi attack was a coordinated, al-Qaeda-linked Islamic-terrorist broadside against American territory and personnel, nObama stood before the United Nations General Assembly and lied, lied, lied: “There is no video that justifies an attack on an embassy,” nObama said that September 25. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
.
     Just two days into that future, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies fulfilled Hilly’s chilling prophecy to Charles Woods. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Egyptian Coptic Christian who created the notorious Internet video, Innocence of Muslims, was arrested, supposedly because he used a pseudonym and thereby violated parole on an unrelated bank-fraud conviction. He subsequently was sentenced to a year in the La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution in Texas. Never mind that the First Amendment should have shielded his right to produce whatever video he wanted on Mohammad or any other religious figure. (Rather than molder behind bars, the producers of Broadway’s The Book of Mormon still laugh all the way to the bank, as hard as their audiences howl nightly.) Nakoula was a convenient patsy. As such, Hilly appears to have transformed him from a poor-quality filmmaker into a political prisoner.
.
     Hilly and nObama buried the truth beneath an Oriental rug of lies. It covered up painful facts, lest they contradict the comforting campaign theme that nObama unveiled at the Democrat National Convention just five days before Benghazi: “al-Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead.”
.
And it worked!
.
     The truth about Benghazi, what Hilly and nObama knew, and when they knew it, remained obscured until last week. This helped nObama win the White House in November 2012, and put Hilly in a comfortable position from which to run as his successor.
.
     Regardless, with this much of the truth now out in the open, nothing that either of these two liars utters can be taken at face value ever again. They already were unbelievable, thanks to the Liar-in-Chief’s “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” serial deceptions on nObamacare and other multifarious matters. Ditto Hilly’s decades of mendacity, from cattle futures to “there is no classified material” on the clandestine e-mail server that she willfully hid from scrutiny for seven years.
.
     Whatever embers of credibility either of these reprobates may have possessed were extinguished with the ice water of Hilly’s testimony last Thursday.
.
nObama’s and Hilly’s lies about the Benghazi massacre confirm, once and for all, that they are twin moral vacuums. They deserve all of the scorn, disrespect, and rejection that such a disgraceful distinction demands.

Political Correctness and the Criminal Element

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots

ll-1.jpg?width=229“The Department of Justice is committed to giving justice-involved youth the tools they need to become productive members of society.”
– The Obama regime’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch

Once again, the Obama regime and liberals at large are trying to spare the oh-so-delicate feelings of an element of our society that simply doesn’t give a crap about anything, anyone else and for that matter, themselves.

What Lynch is talking about, what she is calling “justice-involved youth” are punks, thieves, delinquents, thugs, drug users and whatever else today’s youths do to break the law. It seems, to her, the Obama regime and assorted liberals and socialists, all those little criminals need is a new label, a round or 2 of Kumbaya and an atta boy or girl to make them productive members of society.

They aren’t society’s losers…not according to the liberal/socialist agenda anyway…what they are is participants and being called “justice-involved youths” is their trophy…their reward for just showing up.

We can’t damage their complete lack of self-esteem by calling them exactly what they are now can we? No…we must somehow find a way to make them feel more proud of their criminal activity by calling them what they are most certainly not.

Justice-involved?

 Thousands of Demo Voters Released From Prison  
A month ago, we reported that Barack nObama's Justice Department was making plans to release 6,000 "nonviolent" federal prisoners in what is essentially one of the largest jailbreaks in U.S. history. That release happened over the weekend. The vast majority were incarcerated for drug offenses (not just marijuana), and as Gary Bauer writes, "20% of the 6,000 offenders just released were also in jail for illegal firearms possession while committing drug offenses." So much for gun control and background checks. Word is the administration is considering another 8,500 prisoners for release next year. And you thought Bill Clinton issued a lot of pardons on the way out of office.
          According to The New York Times, "The releases result from decisions last year by the [United States Sentencing Commission], an independent body that sets guideline ranges for federal sentences. Until 2005, those guidelines were mandatory; now they are advisory, but remain a starting point for judges."
          Meanwhile, Paul Sperry of Investor's Business Daily reports, "Internal government documents I've obtained show that the administration figures as many as 43% may re-offend within five years of release. The recidivism rate might be even higher than that, prison officials warn, because the administration hasn't provided probation officers the resources to properly supervise the waves of inmates it's releasing prematurely."
          A third of the released prisoners are illegal aliens that will be deported (he promises!). But many of the other 4,000 will create more headaches for victims of crime and more work for police. Speaking of police, crime is on the rise this year, and many blame nObama's racist police rhetoric for the spike. Great time to release 6,000 criminals. As we've said before, we understand the need for real prison and sentencing reform, and some of these 6,000 are probably worthy of freedom. But releasing a bunch of prisoners could come back and bite nObama just like Willie Horton did for Michael Dukakis.   -The Patriot Post

 Kentucky Derby Goes to GOP  
Could the gubernatorial race in Kentucky be a harbinger for the 2016 election? Riding the same momentum that has propelled Donald Trump and Ben Carson to the forefront of the GOP presidential primary, Republican Matt Bevin, also a political outsider, won Kentucky's governors race Tuesday. Confounding pollsters who expected Bevin's Democrat challenger to prevail, Bevin won by about nine percentage points. This turns Kentucky, a traditionally Democrat stronghold dating back 44 years, into a red state because Democrats now control only the state's House, and weakly at that. Furthermore, as National Review's John Fund points out, Bevin's lieutenant governor-elect is Jenean Hampton, a self-made woman who worked herself up from poverty, retired from the Air Force at the rank of Captain, and is a Tea Party candidate endorsed by Rand Paul. Oh, did we mention she is the first black woman to be elected to a Kentucky statewide office? Let the Left ponder that one.
          This was just one of the conservative victories across the nation, and it shows a voter dissatisfaction with the top-down leftist policies coming out of Washington. For example, many Kentucky voters threw their support behind Bevin because their health care premiums spiked thanks to nObamaCare. Who says local politics don't matter?

 Democrats' Minimum Wage Demands Keep Going Up  
Democrat politicians have been raising their demands on how high to raise the minimum wage. Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders supports hiking the national wage to $15 an hour — double the current minimum wage of $7.50. Hilly Clinton told an audience in Iowa Tuesday, "Twelve [dollars an hour] would give us a good solid increase." It was just two years ago that Democrats were being "progressive" by seeking to raise the minimum wage to $10.10, with Barack nObama being one of the most vocal supporters. While the inflating policy proposals probably make for great headlines and campaign promises (Democrats will give you free stuff by forcing your employer to pay you more than your job is worth!), even Democrat voters know when enough is enough. Among the notable local elections around the country, voters in Portland, Maine, rejected a proposal to raise the city's minimum wage from the federal minimum to $15 an hour — over concerns that it would hurt small business, just as it already is in Seattle. The city in the liberal Northeast will still raise its wage — it will go up to $10.10 Jan. 1 — but it shows how some Democrats are out of step with their base. And remember: Democrats are for minimum wages, Republicans are for maximum wages. People should be paid as much as possible, just not through government mandate.

 nObama Demands School Let Boy Shower With Girls  
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (writing under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll) surely would be astounded to discover that modern liberalism has taken his work not for what it is — a surrealist allegory brimming with social and political insights — but instead as a blueprint for destroying the institutional foundations of society, and crushing any acknowledgment of objective truth.
          In this liberal utopia we call America, Rachel Dolezal is black but Clarence Thomas is not (at least not an "authentic" black man); Bruce Jenner is a woman despite having male genitals; and gender is determined by feelings rather than by DNA. This has led to such bizarre developments as Bruce "Call Me Caitlyn" Jenner holding the title of Glamour Magazine's "Woman of the Year" while simultaneously being one of the most decorated male Olympians of all time.
          It's one thing to watch such circus sideshows play out in popular culture, but it's another thing entirely to have mental illnesses not only indulged by government but protected under the law. Yet that is exactly what is occurring under Barack nObama.
          Earlier this week, the nObama administration issued an administrative ruling involving a dispute between Illinois' Township High School District 211 and a transgendered student, demanding the male student (born a male but "identifying" as a female) be allowed to use the girls' locker room to shower and change clothes, alongside actual female students. Failure to comply with this directive, the nObama administration threatened, will result in federal civil rights lawsuits and the loss of Title IX funding for the district.    -The Patriot Post

 Cruz Just Made An Enormous Move Against The Muslim Brotherhood 
{Peter Brown} ~ The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist organization founded in Egypt in 1928 that could be finding itself in trouble soon with the United States Congress... Robert Mueller, former director of the FBI, said about the group during testimony in 2011: “I can say at the outset that elements of the Muslim Brotherhood both here and overseas have supported terrorism.” One of the aims of the Muslim Brotherhood is to make sure Islamic states are in fact ruled by Sharia, or Islamic law. Its most famous slogan is “Islam is the solution.” Although multiple members of the organization are on the nObama administration terror list, thus far the US has not yet officially designated the Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

 Is Ayatollah Khamenei trying to Kill P5+1 Nuke Deal?  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ While Congress was debating the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran, the nObama administration warned legislators that any changes to the deal would destroy the complicated agreement... But now that Iran has supposedly accepted the deal, its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, is demanding changes that, if agreed to, would basically render the agreement moot. Khamenei made the demands in a letter reportedly sent to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Oct. 21, and later published on Khamenei’s website. The question raised is, will the P5+1 negotiators make more concessions to Iran? And if they don’t, will Iran walk away from the deal? Dr. Lawrence A. Franklin, a former Iran desk officer in Donald Rumsfeld’s Defense Department, wrote for the Gatestone Institute (run by former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton) that the Supreme Leader is making the unreasonable demands partially to deny Barack nObama the legacy he so desperately wants.        http://lidblog.com/is-ayatollah-khamenei-trying-to-kill-p51-nuke-deal/?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_campaign=bc7637e902-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-bc7637e902-291705165

 Clinton Scandals Threaten Her White House Run  
{Roger Aronoff} ~ While Republicans are deciding among themselves whether to open a separate investigation into Hilly Clinton’s email controversy, evidence keeps piling up that shows serious problems ahead for Mrs. Clinton... Yet the media continue feasting on what they perceive as turmoil in the GOP presidential race. When looked at objectively, Mrs. Clinton’s problems should prove far more consequential than anything facing the Republicans. And current polls reflect that problem. The media are still basking in Hilly’s great October turnaround. Not only did she have what they considered to be a strong debate performance, but Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden announced he wasn’t running for the presidency, and Hilly, they assure us, scored a big victory in the Benghazi hearings. Game over. The march to the White House can proceed unimpeded. But a closer look at what should be very troubling issues to the media, and to Democrats who want a candidate without so much baggage, reveals much that they should be concerned about.        http://www.aim.org/aim-column/clinton-scandals-threaten-her-white-house-run/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email110515&utm_medium=email

 ISIS: From Where Does its Evil Flow?  
{Lt. Colonel James G. Zumwalt, USMC (Ret.)} ~ We have recently seen ISIS add new techniques to its repertoire on how to brutally execute victims... Apparently, beheadings and burning victims alive have lost their luster. Recent executions have been undertaken that provide further insights into the depth of this group’s depravity. Neither a victim’s age nor sex serves as a barrier to ISIS savagery. After putting a father to death, ISIS executioners strapped explosives to his baby, detonating them to demonstrate to new recruits the devastating impact on the human body. Last month a tank was used to execute a Syrian soldier by running over him. Another technique allowed ISIS the opportunity to combine an execution with its campaign to destroy non-Islamic related antiquities. Three prisoners were tied to columns of one of the world’s most important ancient sites-the Arch of Triumph in Palmyra, Syria. The Arch and the prisoners were then blown up. ISIS proudly publishes videos and photos of these barbaric acts.

 Corruption runs in the family at American neurorehab centers  
{Jack Rodolico and Laura Starecheski} ~ Everyone agreed on one thing: Jessica Klurfeld threw her liver and onions on the floor. What happened next is where the stories diverged... Klurfeld, a woman with autism and a rare genetic disorder who was then 23 years old, said an attendant at Lakeview NeuroRehabilitation Center in New Hampshire “told me to eat off the fucking floor.” A second staff member who witnessed the 2013 event backed Klurfeld’s story. The attendant in question said that while Klurfeld did eat some of the food off the floor, she had not ordered the young woman to do it. According to hundreds of confidential emails and reports shared with reporters, this was one of dozens of incidents that worried Klurfeld’s mother, Linda Blumkin, a retired antitrust attorney living in New York City, 320 miles away. Blumkin pleaded with New Hampshire regulators to look into her daughter’s treatment at Lakeview, a facility near the Maine border – a place so remote that staff simply called it “The Mountain.”

 For the first time in 67 years, Egypt supports Israeli bid at the UN  
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Egypt made history this week, supporting Israel’s bid for membership in the Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Affairs at the United Nations... It was the first time Egypt voted in support of Israel since it backed the 1948 United Nations vote establishing the Jewish nation. CBN  The vote passed by a wide margin, with 117 member states in favor; 21 abstentions, among them Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Tunisia, Morocco, Qatar, and Kuwait; and Namibia the only country opposing the Israeli bid. “The vote today proves there are some countries who find it more important to bash Israel than to contribute to the international community, like Qatar who abstained on the vote even though it was a vote on its own acceptance to the committee,” the Israeli Mission to the United Nations said in a statement.        http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/11/05/for-the-first-time-in-67-years-egypt-supports-israeli-bid-at-the-un/

 Hilly $6 Billion Missing   – How Could She Just “Lose” That Money?  
{rickwells.us} ~ For the Democrats, a presidential candidate has to represent the worst of America, embody the furthest thing from traditional American values and possess a parasitic and exploitative nature... Their self-serving irresponsibility and extreme dishonesty, as well as an extreme hatred for our constitutional republic as it was originally constructed cannot be in doubt. In order to be chosen to represent that Marxist, end America as we know it organization, one must be, to put it simply and succinctly, a low-life scum bag. Nobody represents those “ideals” more wholly than Hilly Clinton. As the criminal Clintons are insulated from the an awareness by the sleeping, distracted American people by the puppy dog media, Clinton’s criminal actions are being ignored and any attempts to investigate immediately dismissed as politically motivated and unjustified. Putting aside the obvious and indisputable mountain of evidence that Clinton committed treason by selling favors as Secretary of State and has engaged in conflicts of interest, criminal obstruction of justice, espionage, perjury and a host of other crimes related to her “public self-service,” wouldn’t just being historically bad with money be grounds enough to dismiss one as a viable presidential candidate? Clinton wants us to vote for her based upon her indoor plumbing, but women are generally fairly good at budgeting and at least knowing where they money goes even if it is being spent irresponsibly.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21778#prettyPhoto

In 60 days he can sign the agreement and send trade agreement to Congress for debate, vote and approval.  Congress is allowed 90 days for debate after presidential signature.  The letter below officially starts the clock. President nObama is hoping to use Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays as strategic tools to run out the clock on any efforts to provide WH pushback on the anti-American deal:

 nObama And hanoi-Kerry’s New Terrorist Allies In Tehran...  
It’s a lucky thing for Hussein nObama that he’s not really an American and that he’s not an Israeli either. The chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” don’t really bother him... The Iranians aren’t targeting Kenya or Indonesia or his rumored eventual home in the safe compounds of New Zealand. For the rest of us, including his comrades in Chicago and even Oprah in her home for wayward whales in Hawaii, his and hanoi-John Kerry’s decision to give nuclear weapons to the terrorist regime is a problem. It’s proving to be just what everyone outside of the regime and the sellout Congress recognized it would be, a one way ticket to nuclear war. Iran hasn’t even taken delivery of the bribe money nObama and hanoi-Kerry promised them for allowing us to convert them into an existential threat yet. They’re already kidnapping more Americans and demanding more compensation. The Iranians aren’t stupid. They recognize they’ve got a couple of real regime assets in hanoi-Kerry and nObama and only fifteen months to make the most of it. Everything could change if a Republican gets elected. They’ve got to take advantage of having a terrorist sympathizer in the White House and Iranian Valerie Jarrett pulling his strings.       http://rickwells.us/archives/21816

 Liberal College Faculty Agree to Shred the Constitution … Literally  
{Campus Reform} ~ I guess it was only a matter of time until Project Veritas, of the ACORN videos fame, went back to colleges. Now they've gotten administrators at Vassar and Oberlin to agree to feed the U.S. Constitution through a paper shredder because it’s "triggering." ... The Veritas reporter even managed to get one of the administrators doing the act on film. "When this idea came up in our newsroom about campus administrators shredding the Constitution because it’s a trigger against students, we didn’t think people would actually fall for it,” James O'Keefe says at one point in the video. “We underestimated just how stupid and politically correct these people are.”        http://eaglerising.com/25853/liberal-college-faculty-agree-to-shred-the-constitution-literally/

     {peggynoonan.com} ~ An interesting question for history is who was the real leader of the West the past half-dozen years, Angela Merkel of Germany or Canada’s Stephen Harper, voted out this week after almost 10 years as prime minister. His great success was in helping bring his country through and past the global meltdown of 2008. He was loyal to Western principles and a friend of America even when, as in recent years, its leaders’ decisions left him doubting and dismayed.
.
     A general rule of politics: After 10 years they are going to throw you out. But the vote was overwhelming after a charmless, dour campaign. The incoming prime minister is the 43-year-old son of charismatic former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Justin Trudeau has been a snowboard instructor, schoolteacher, bartender, bouncer, speaker on environmental and youth issues, and advocate for avalanche safety. Sensing “generational change” and gravitating toward “a life of advocacy,” he entered politics and served two terms in Parliament. He has been head of the Liberal Party two years. He is handsome, has a winning personality, exhibited message discipline during the campaign, and is a talented dancer. There’s a sense we in the West have entered a new screwball phase. Watching Mr. Trudeau’s victory speech, I remembered the columnist Dorothy Thompson reaction on watching the newly inaugurated President John F. Kennedy. There’s something not fully stable there, she thought. But we have to let history do what it enjoys doing, which is surprising us.
.
     loose lips-Joe Biden’s decision not to run for president left me sad. He would have enlivened things. He has always reminded me of what Democrats were like when I was a kid—kind of normal and earthy and fun. They did not spend their time endlessly accusing people of being sexist-racist-homophobic-gender-biased persons of unchecked privilege. They would have thought that impolite.
.
     I can’t imagine loose lips-Joe Biden ever needed an image consultant to coach him on how to be himself. As if he had a choice.
.
     Going in, the question about Hilly Clinton and the Benghazi Committee was: How will she come out? Would she emerge triumphant, bruised, stronger, exposed? How would the Republicans, who’ve proved themselves largely hapless in grilling those involved in various scandals, do this time? In 2013, in front of a Senate committee, Mrs. Clinton blunted attacks with her dramatic rhetorical question: “What difference, at this point, does it make?” When I watched I thought, “She just won.” But afterward “What difference does it make?” became a kind of shorthand for high-handed theatrics. It is hard to judge the impact of most Clinton performances in real time because Mrs. Clinton is a practiced actress and it takes people time to figure whether they believed the act or not.
.
     Her goal was clearly to take all comers and end this. She wanted to make the Republicans look like tiresome obsessives, which usually wouldn’t be hard.
.
     She took her seat in the hearing room handsomely coiffed, beautifully made up, wearing a sober, dark high-end pantsuit. Young journalists tell me I’m not allowed to describe how she’s dressed or whether she looks tired (no, well-rested) or stressed (no, cool as a cucumber). I tell them if they’re going to be journalists they can’t start out as word cops. Nor should they in their work put politically correct limits on their ability to describe a scene. If you mean to be a craftsman, you cannot start your career as a censor.
.
     Chairman Trey Gowdy (nondescript suit, hair under control) wasted no time: “We are going to pursue the truth in a manner worthy of the memory of the four men who lost their lives.” He set a tone not of theatrics but factuality. He defended his committee’s investigation by asserting previous congressional probes had not been “serious” or “thorough” because they lacked sufficient access to relevant documents.
.
     This undercut Mrs. Clinton’s ability to make points by repeating, as she has recently, that this is the eighth investigation. Mr. Gowdy cleverly brought up Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s witless comment suggesting the purpose of the investigation had been to damage her popularity. He blunted every charge and complaint he knew she was about to make.
.
She sat blank-faced, furiously thinking.
.
     Elijah Cummings, the panel’s ranking Democrat, said in his statement the investigation is political, a “taxpayer-funded fishing expedition.” Having watched him in hearings the past few years I cannot determine whether his chronic umbrage is real or feigned.
.
     In Mrs. Clinton’s opening statement she spoke slowly, in a calm, lower-register voice. When she spoke with personal warmth of the late ambassador, Chris Stevens, she was actress-y in a way you’d like if you like her and not if you don’t.
.
     The preamble was meant to posit her as a person who felt authentic pain at what had happened in a way that suggested she’s suffered enough.
.
     She then perhaps cheekily pivoted to what we can learn from the tragedy. This was meant to establish her deep experience and command and was occasionally off-point: “Retreat from the world is not an option.” She evoked the Reagan-era deaths of 258 Americans in the Beirut Marine barracks and, more cleverly, security failures in the administrations of her husband and of George W. Bush. That was meant to make Benghazi—only four dead—look comparatively insignificant.
.
     The first hour-and-a-half seemed to focus on niggling things, as if no one could get their hands on the thread. Viewers at home may have given up. Then the pace quickened. There were hundreds of requests regarding security issues in Benghazi in 2012, and Mrs. Clinton said not one reached her desk. This is remarkable. A secretary of state who supported a military action that unleashed chaos and sends her friend, the ambassador, into that chaos has no awareness of his requests for more security? Sidney Blumenthal had her personal email address but Chris Stevens didn’t?
.
     There were substantive fireworks when Rep. Jim Jordan suggested the administration used a protest over an anti-Islam video as a cover story for what Mrs. Clinton knew to be a planned and deliberate terrorist attack. He suggested a motive: The attack came less than two months before the 2012 election. He presented proof she knew Benghazi wasn’t a popular protest about a video. She never really answered the charges, falling back on quickly unfolding events, confusion, a fluid situation. She dodged, and it was obvious. “I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book,” she attempted. She pretended the line of questioning was an insult to those who died. No, it was an insult to her. She was passive-aggressive: “I’m sorry that it doesn’t fit your narrative, Congressman.” She later spoke of how wounding it is to have one’s assertions received with such skepticism. This was unpersuasive.

     How did she do? How did they do? The Republicans were able interrogators. For Mrs. Clinton it was mixed. At moments she was poised and in command, at others more scattered and scrambling. She has considerable faith in her talent for double talk. She suffered through and survived, and will soon be saying what she wanted to say: I took any and all questions, there is nothing to add, the issue has been addressed. Next.

The ordinance prohibited discrimination based upon a number of protected categories, most of which were uncontroversial and already covered by state and federal laws. That was the window dressing. The real issue concerned banning discrimination based on the amorphous social construct known as “sexual orientation” and the even more problematic “gender identity.”

Particularly galling to HERO supporters was the opposition’s succinct slogan: “No Men in Women’s Bathrooms.” Once voters understood the issue in those terms the ordinance was doomed. HERO’s supporters count the slogan as one of the most egregious “lies” told in a vicious smear campaign. The only problem is that it happens to be true.

A little background on HERO would be appropriate here. The original HERO legislation debated in the Houston City Council in 2014 explicitly stated that any person would be allowed to use “public” restrooms consistent with his or her “gender identity.” In plain English that means that dudes would be allowed into ladies’ rooms—provided that those dudes believe in their heart of hearts that they were born with incorrect body parts…or simply claim to. Women changing into their sweats at a Curves gym might look up and see a guy standing there in all his naked glory; and as long as that guy proclaims himself to be a woman, the law would indulge his delusion.

But this version of the bill was not meant to be; so Mayor Parker, liar that she is, decided to drop the explicit bathroom language from the bill while assuring supporters that the change had zero impact on the law’s effects. According to the Houston Chronicle: “The proposed amendment would remove that paragraph [concerning bathrooms] of the expansive ordinance. Transgender people barred access to a restroom still would be able to file a discrimination complaint to the city’s Office of Inspector General under the process outlined for all protected characteristics, such as race and veteran status.” Mayor Parker later tweeted: “To my trans sisters/brothers: you’re still fully protected in Equal Rights Ordinance. We’re simply removing language that singled you out.”

How can her tweet be interpreted as anything other than an admission that her supposed compromise on the bathroom issue was in fact a smokescreen? She clearly understood that the people of Houston would never swallow this bitter pill without first being lulled into believing that it has nothing to do with creepy dudes in ladies’ rooms—which it does. Both sides know HERO is about bathrooms but only one side wants to talk about it. Stealth is the Left’s watchword.

Predictably, the Houston Chronicle also ran an article bemoaning the intransigent opposition. The subtitle of the article shouted: “Compromise suggested for city ordinance not enough for some GOP, faith leaders.” Oh, those stubborn conservatives, when will they ever learn the value of compromise?

Perhaps conservatives didn’t want to “compromise” with the homofascist mayor because she’d already admitted that the exclusion of bathroom language didn’t alter the law one iota. A compromise without concessions from both sides is no compromise at all. That’s just caving. And why should HERO opponents cave when they have the voters behind them?

It should come as no surprise that the Houston Chronicle endorsed HERO twice. Nor should it surprise anyone that the same Chronicle reporter, Jayme Fraser, wrote both articles—the one that essentially admitted that the new HERO was the same as the old HERO, and the one that portrayed conservative leaders as rigidly opposed to any compromise. Fraser can’t claim ignorance. She knew that Mayor Parker’s compromise was bogus and yet she still wrote a ludicrous article implying that the anti-HERO camp was stubbornly refusing to meet HERO supporters halfway.

Liberals are generally pretty bad at compromise and the homofascist subset is absolutely incapable of it. This is the Civil Rights Movement all over again and you’re Bull Connor. Ergo, they get everything and you get nothing. They don’t always get their way because sometimes they just lose; but they never settle for half a loaf and they absolutely never give up.

On occasion, they’ll offer a faux compromise of the variety that Parker proposed. Other times they try the incrementalist approach—“settling” for a partial victory, only to return shortly thereafter wanting to renegotiate the deal. After three or four partial victories they find that they’ve achieved everything they wanted. But most of the time the LGBTQXYZ activists don’t even do that. They concoct phony hate crimes, they riot, they sue, they get people fired from their jobs, and occasionally they even murder people. When they finally taste sweet victory they run the rainbow banner up the flagpole and declare #Lovewins!

If you want to know how averse the tolerance bullies are to compromise, consider the pickle that suburban Palatine, Illinois has found itself in trying to accommodate a delusional high school student who thinks he’s a girl. The boy has made a plethora of demands to which his high school has readily acceded including the use of feminine pronouns. The school has even allowed him to join girls’ sports teams and to use the girls’ locker room. The final stumbling block to a copasetic agreement is that the school wants him to disrobe behind a curtain for the sake of the other girls’—which to say the actual girls’—privacy.

Not. Good. Enough.

The gender dysphoric student sued the school with the support of the ACLU and the Obama Administration. According to an AP story: “The district could lose up to $6 million in federal funding if it can’t reach a deal with the [Department of Education Office of Civil Rights], which has said the privacy curtains are discriminatory unless all the girls are required to use them.” Actually, none of the girls are required to use them. The only one who has to use a curtain is the boy who refuses to change in the appropriate locker room.

Officials at the Department of Education appear to share the boy’s mental illness. “Unfortunately, Township High School District 211 is not following the law because the district continues to deny a female student the right to use the girls’ locker room,” said a spokesperson.

Uh…not exactly. This isn’t a story about a female student not being allowed to use the girls’ locker room. It’s not even a story about a male student not being allowed to use the girls’ locker room. It’s a story about a male student with full access to the girls’ locker room but who still isn’t satisfied because he has to change behind a curtain.

I must admit though that I understand why he cannot accept even this tiny compromise. The curtain will always be a reminder that the school is humoring him. They’ll only go so far in treating him like one of the girls—because he isn’t. Intolerable! Everyone must be forced to believe the Big Lie. This is a “civil rights issue” and nothing less than total capitulation will suffice. We wouldn’t meet Jim Crow supporters halfway, would we?

We lost the last war with the homofascists because we tried to accommodate them. We thought we could offer them civil unions—all the benefits of marriage without the word. They weren’t satisfied. We thought we could let them do their thing and it would never affect us, but soon they were forcing us to be unwilling participants in their sham weddings, demanding to use church-owned property for their ceremonies, and dismantling long-standing codes of conduct for teachers at religious schools. There is no “live and let live” with these people. It’s absolute servility or pitched battle, nothing in between.

 HILLY’S COSTLY BASE BUILDING     
Hilly Clinton’s base-building moves may assure her the nomination, but they also hold serious consequences in the general election. Seeking to shore up support from the Black Lives Matter movement, Clinton met with the families of black Americans killed in controversial shootings over the past year. The group has booed her rivals’ political rallies, but reaching out to this group could help her bring the anti-police protest group into the party fold. But playing to hard-left ideological factions will do damage to Clinton when she’s forced to move back to the center in the general contest. President nObama’s symphony of base voters will not sound so sweet with Clinton conducting. - Fox News

 NEW YORK COULD USE A FEW   AP: “A Cabinet minister has drawn outrage and mockery after suggesting transferring the thousands of stray cats that walk the streets of Israel to another country. The Yediot daily published what it said was a letter by Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel proposing the idea. It said he cited Jewish law against animal cruelty as reason not to neuter cats and a biblical commandment to populate the earth…Opposition legislator Tzipi Livni posted a picture on her Facebook page of her playing with a black and white cat. ‘No way will I get a foreign passport for little one,’ she wrote. Israeli animal rights activists condemned the minister. Thousands of stray cats roam Israel's streets.”

 EPA Dictates, nObama’s Federal Land Grab, The Constitution Says...  
{rickwells.us} ~ The United States Constitution was written in plain, easy to understand, everyday English. That may be part of why it is so difficult for some of our leaders and today’s “wise men” to comprehend; they try to make it more complicated than it is... There is also an unmistakable tendency to disregard portions that are too straightforward for their overly-programmed and distorted minds to comprehend or which don’t agree with their “modern and sophisticated” interpretations. In reading through the Constitution this morning, as I do from time to time when confronted with the absurdities of the compost pile that now passes for our government, one particular passage happened to catch my attention. It’s one that I’ve read before but, in what may have been my own subconscious submission to the indoctrinated “great thinking” model of  today’s Washington “leadership,” it never struck me in the manner it did today. In Article IV, Section 3, it states...        http://rickwells.us/archives/21730

 Hilly Has nObama’s Back – “So Pres Don’t Have To Declare...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Hilly Clinton actually announced her actions to help Hussein nObama avoid paying for his crimes against America... Since it was an honest comment which addressed the criminality of the executive branch, we can be certain it was an accidental revelation. As her long career of parasitically feeding off of the American people has demonstrated, she never admits to anything that doesn’t involve the use of a crow bar or the “jaws of life” in the extraction process. She and Hussein nObama are covering for each other, and if she’s elected, we can be certain the offer of a standing pardon has already been tendered.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21748

 Iran Responsible for Killing 14 Percent of U.S. Troops in Iraq  
{Adam Kredo} ~ Nearly 200 U.S. troops have been killed and nearly 1,000 injured by Iranian-made explosives in Iraq, according to new disclosures from a partially declassified report conducted by U.S. Central Command and described by sources to the Washington Free Beacon... The number of U.S. deaths resulting from Iranian terrorism were revealed for the first time on Wednesday by Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) during a hearing focusing on the nObama administration’s failure to prosecute terrorists directly responsible for the deaths of Americans. At least 196 U.S. service members fighting in Iraq were killed directly as a result of Iranian-made explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, according to Cruz and congressional sources familiar with Centcom’s mostly classified report. The deaths took place between 2003 and 2011. The Iranian explosive devices wounded another 861 U.S. soldiers, and a total of 1,534 attacks were carried out on U.S. military members over this period, according to sources familiar with the report, which was provided to Cruz’s office.

 Iran: U.S. Must Pay Reparations to Islamic Republic  
{Adam Kredo} ~ An Iranian military leader is demanding that the United States pay Tehran reparations for the deaths of more than 250,000 Iranians at the hands of U.S. affiliates, according to regional reports... Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a brigadier general in Iran’s volunteer Basij Force, said on Thursday that the nObama administration “should pay ransom” for its supposed role in killing Iranians during the 1979 Islamic Revolution that brought hardline extremists into power. The demand for a ransom comes just a day after Iranians across the country took to the streets to rally against America and Israel. They burned U.S. flags and chanted, “Death to America.” It was disclosed on Wednesday that Iran has been found to be directly responsible for the deaths of nearly 200 U.S. troops in Iraq and the wounding of nearly 1,000 others. The nObama administration has been hesitant to prosecute Iran under U.S. terrorism laws for these killings.

 Hilly's name won't appear on any ballot 
{Judge Andrew Napolitano} ~ The self-inflicted wounds of Hilly Rodham Clinton just keep manifesting themselves. She has two serious issues that have arisen in the past week; one is political and the other is legal. Both have deception at their root... Her political problem is one of credibility. We know from her emails that she informed her daughter Chelsea and the then-prime minister of Egypt within 12 hours of the murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, that he had been killed in Benghazi by al-Qaida. We know from the public record that the nObama administration’s narrative blamed the killings of the ambassador and his guards on an anonymous crowd’s spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muhammad video. Over this past weekend we learned that her own embassy staff in Tripoli told her senior staff in Washington the day after the killings that the video was not an issue, and very few Libyans had seen it. We also know from her emails that the CIA informed her within 24 hours of the ambassador’s murder that it had been planned by al-Qaida 12 days before the actual killings. http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/hillarys-name-wont-appear-on-any-ballot/

 Taxpayer bill to resettle 35,000 Mideast refugees: $2.3 billion  
{LEO HOHMANN} ~ It costs U.S. taxpayers nearly $65,000 to resettle one Middle Eastern refugee over the first five years, which is 12 times what it would cost to care for that same refugee in a neighboring country in the region, according to a new study... The Center for Immigration Studies cites “heavy welfare use” as the main reason why refugees are so costly to resettle. This flies in the face of oft-quoted comments by U.S. mayors who claim refugees add to their tax base and promote economic growth, making for a more “culturally diverse” and “economically resilient” city. The CIS study indicates they are more of a drain on the economy than a boost.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/taxpayer-bill-to-resettle-35000-mideast-refugees-2-3-billion/

 City Elects First Muslim Majority City Council  
{rickwells.us} ~ Hamtramck, Michigan, has become the first city in the nation to elect a Muslim majority city council, adding two new members to the two of six reelected to positions they already held... The black reporter in the video describes how now the “diversity” is going to be reflected, confusing or perhaps not understanding the definition of the word. To him it may be a synonym for not white, but with a 66% majority Muslim representation, the results of the election are less diversity, if anything, no more. Jamal Alturki, the “average citizen voter” interviewed also made that mistake as he described his pride in what was achieved for “their” city, considering it a big victory for their “diversity.” Maybe it means takeover? Anam Miah, who was reelected to another term, described it as sending a message not only to Hamtramck but throughout the region that people want “their” representation in offices. Translation: They want Muslim government, and maybe Sharia Law. There’s nothing racist in that statement though, Islam’s not a race when they talk that way, only when non-Muslims have a problem with the invasion. The reporter then makes that same ignorant claim, that non-white means more diversity “at the table.” He closes by endorsing the sentiment he observed in the community, probably among Muslims, with a statement of the pride they felt.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21761

 nObama just signed ANOTHER Executive ‘Edict’ 
{Allen B. West} ~ We live in a constitutional republic. At least that’s what we’re intended to have, but if we’re not careful it will morph into a constitutional monarchy... In a constitutional republic, the rule of law is preeminent, along with individual sovereignty and the government operates with the consent of the governed. In a constitutional monarchy, the people are ruled by edict emanating from the executive, who casts himself above the rule of law. And this is where we have devolved in these nObama years: rule by executive order, memoranda, and bureaucratic fiat — we are not being governed. And just like the recent EPA regulations on energy based on climate change assertions, we have another nObama edict with which we must contend. As reported by Fox News, “President nObama on Monday announced a new executive order that prevents federal agencies from making job-applicants reveal they have a criminal record as part of his overall criminal justice reform effort.        http://allenwestrepublic.com/2015/11/04/obama-just-signed-another-executive-edict/

 "We Did What We Learned: Attacking Christians"  
{Raymond Ibrahim} ~ Throughout the month of August, the nObama administration and the so-called mainstream media kept insisting that Islam does not promote the persecution of Christians... all the while ignoring the direct testimonies of those who have undergone it. According to Chaldean Archbishop Bashar Warda, All the statements [by U.S. government and media] have not condemned strongly what damage it [persecution of Christians] is doing. What they are saying is just "This is not the true Islam. This is violating the picture of Islam." The issue for them is the image of Islam, but none of these statements speak about the victims, about what has been done to the victims, they are not even mentioned. And that is one of the questions our people have. [Author's emphasis]. Warda added that persecuted Christians are "being denied visas, while others who have participated [in the violence] or at least were silent, can go." Father Douglas al-Bazi, an Iraqi Catholic parish priest from Erbil, who still carries the torture scars he received nine years earlier at the hands of jihadis, denounced the Western refusal to accept reality about Islam:

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Saying G0D is real may get you an F.
.
     Jordan Wooley, a 7th grader in Houston, Texas, said this week that her teacher at West Memorial Junior High School recently gave a class assignment that asked students to say that G0D didn’t exist, according to KHOU.
.
     The assignment, which you can see below, asked students to label statements as either facts, opinions or commonplace assertions. Wooley wrote that the statement "There is a G0D" was both a fact and opinion for some, but her teacher didn’t agree — telling Wooley that both her answers were wrong and that she had to admit that G0D wasn’t real.

     "I said it was fact or opinion," Wooley said. "Based on my religion and based on what I think and believe, I do not think it was a commonplace assertion."
.
     Wooley’s mother, Chantel, couldn’t believe this happened in her daughter's class.
.
     “That a kid was literally graded against her faith in G0D in a classroom, so who would want to be known," Chantel said, according to KHOU. "So the kids were caught in a Catch-22. If they argued their faith, they were being told they were arguing against their faith, and that happened in the classroom."
.
     Jordan Wooley wouldn’t let her frustration go unheard. She spoke at a recent Katy Independent School District board meeting about the scenario, explaining that she wasn’t the only student offended by the assignment.

In fact, the worksheet was meant to encourage critical thinking among students, according to the statement.

Where is our strength?

Seemingly, every day I run into someone who cries out for something to change. Apparently not realizing that change begins with us. If someone broke into your home and you did nothing to protect yourself or your family, you'd only have yourself to blame. Now look at the situation of our government and ask yourself what you see. I see a foreign enemy who broke into my home (my country) and some people would rather complain on social media sites than take action. Where did that heart go when the Japanese bombed pearl harbor? That heart that took holocaust survivors out of their own hell on earth? Where ever it is, I'm positive if it could see what some of our countrymen do, it would kick us all in the butt for letting it get this bad. Do something today to make our home better. What it is, i hardly see as any matter as long as it lets the world know we may be injured BUT WE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE DOWN FOR THE COUNT!John Garrett Nelson JrCane Island Tea Party

 nObama's Policy Change in Syria Does Nothing  
Barack nObama's efforts in Syria are not enough to affect change in the war-torn nation. Oh sure, nObama announced through his spokesman that American boots will be placed in Syria, but that comes with enough buts and stipulations to render the effort ineffective. "We are not putting U.S. troops on the front lines fighting firefights with ISIL," nObama said Monday. "I've been consistent throughout that we are not going to be fighting, like we did in Iraq, with battalions and occupations. That doesn't solve the problem." Battalions of troops don't work? Please tell us what does, because nObama's leadership has tolerated the hyper-violent JV team's terrorist caliphate's existence for months. nObama continued, "Keep in mind that we have run special ops already and really this is just an extension of what we are continuing to do." Take notes, people, for this is politician double-speak 101. There's a policy change in Syria, but the administration is not clear about what exactly U.S. troops will be doing. They might face combat but they will not be in combat roles, apparently. As The Washington Post editorial board pointed out, these special forces will not be helping Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry leverage a peace deal with Russia and Syria. Meanwhile, the Islamic State has expanded in Syria because Russia is throwing its firepower against rebel groups fighting the Syrian dictator, giving breathing room to the jihadists. If we're going to change Syria, then the region needs a stronger dose of American leadership.  -The Patriot Post

 NASA Finally Comes Clean About Antarctica  
NASA issued a pre-Halloween press release Friday that is spooking the mainstream climate narrative. When it comes to all that supposed ice melt in Antarctica, it turns out the devil's in the details.
          According to the release, "A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice." Lead author Jay Zwally says, "We're essentially in agreement with other studies that show an increase in ice discharge in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Thwaites and Pine Island region of West Antarctica. Our main disagreement is for East Antarctica and the interior of West Antarctica — there, we see an ice gain that exceeds the losses in the other areas."
          Of course, this isn't news to some of us. We reported in May that sea ice extent broke the previous record high set just last year. And areal coverage has been on the upswing for decades now (increasing an average of 1.2% increase per decade, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center). It seems the only real news here is how long it took NASA to admit it. Nevertheless, Zwally warns, "If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they've been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years — I don't think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses."
          "The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away" [emphasis added], adds Zwally, debunking yet another piece of settled science. "But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for." Which presents another quagmire: Why is NASA taking issue with the IPCC's ice statistics but accepting its sea level reporting at face value? The bottom line is that Antarctic sea ice is gaining, yet somehow warmists are still blaming it on global warming, like this headline from Nature World Report: "Global warming is actually creating more ice in Antarctica." At some point you have to ask: Why does the bad always outweigh the good?  -The Patriot Post

 Ryan on Immigration: nObama Can't Be Trusted  
With the election of Paul Ryan as the new speaker of the House last Thursday, there have been and will continue to be mixed predictions on how he will perform. To be sure, there are many pressing issues on which Ryan will need to show leadership and wisdom. One of the biggest concerns — one that divides Republicans — is immigration.
          Many conservative constituents are skeptical of how Ryan will lead on the issue. Will he work toward his own desire for more comprehensive immigration reform, or will he listen to the voices of the conservative movement who are fed up with the business-as-usual approach? Will he be willing and able to stand against Barack nObama's "fundamental transformation" of America?
          During several interviews on Sunday, Ryan proved again that he's a far better communicator than backstabber-John Boehner could ever hope to be. He worked to reassure conservatives that his leadership will be good for the party, and he sought to let the American people know that Republicans can solve problems.
          But first, the GOP has to overcome its past. Ryan noted that Republicans in Congress “don’t have a vision” and that there has been too much infighting over tactics and too little work on actual policies. Such is the challenge of the GOP's historic congressional election victories.

 WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE  
The man who once enticed the American and British intelligentsia with the promise of a Western-style government in Iraq died of a heart attack today in his Baghdad home. Ahmed Chalabi, 71-years-old, was the head of the finance committee in Iraq’s parliament. Chalabi is a controversial figure for his role in the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. WSJ explains:“Mr. Chalabi provided American intelligence officers with much of the information that led to the invasion of Iraq. But he fell out publicly with the administration of President George W. Bush after it became clear that deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein didn’t have a large-scale nuclear or chemical weapons program. American soldiers and Iraqi police raided his Baghdad home and office in 2004 as part of a fraud investigation.”  -Fox News

 NASA Study Showing Massive Ice Growth Debunks UN Claims  
{Alex Newman} ~ Apparently the science surrounding alleged anthropogenic (man-made) global warming (AGW) is not really so settled after all... In a barely noticed statement released last week, NASA dropped the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on the United Nations' climate-alarmism machine, noting that ice across Antarctica has been growing at break-neck speed for decades. The surging ice growth, of course, directly contradicts the predictions of global-warming alarmists, including a 2013 report by the increasingly discredited UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claiming, falsely as it turns out, that Antarctica was losing ice at an accelerating rate and causing rising sea levels, all supposedly owing to humanity's emissions of the "gas of life" CO2. http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/21875-nasa-study-showing-massive-ice-growth-debunks-un-claims?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=NASA%20Study%20Showing%20Massive%20Ice%20Growth%20Debunks%20UN%20Claims&utm_campaign=NASA%20Study%20Showing%20Massive%20Ice%20Growth%20Debunks%20UN%20Claimscontent

 Clinton cannot tell the truth  
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ In her immediate post-Benghazi appearance on the "Rachel Maddow Show," former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton must have been feeling pretty good — like she could get away with anything... Perhaps that's why she went on television and lied about her husband's reasons for signing the Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 bill that established the traditional definition of marriage for all federal government purposes. "There was enough political momentum to amend the Constitution of the United States of America," Clinton said, referring to the possible passage of a federal marriage amendment. DOMA, she argued, was "a defensive action," and "a line that was drawn that was to prevent going further." There's just one problem with this explanation: It's a lie.

 Senate Panel Explores Speed of U.S. Military Technology...  
{John Grady} ~ The staggering rate of change and the unacceptable time it takes the Pentagon to introduce weapon systems is leading to “a steady erosion of U.S. technological superiority” over peer competitors and non-state actors such as the Islamic State... Those were consensus views at a Tuesday hearing on the future of warfare before the Senate Armed Services Committee. SASC chair Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) compared private industry’s operating on an 18-month cycle of introducing innovative technologies to the Defense Department’s 18-year cycle to bring major new systems to the force. That fast pace of technological change will produce tremendous good in warfare, health care and society overall, said retired Army Gen. Keith Alexander, former head of the National Security Agency and Cyber Command. He added that speed comes at the cost of “tremendous vulnerability” especially to the power grid and financial sector in the United States. Those are the areas that countries such as Russia and Iran would try to disrupt.        http://news.usni.org/2015/11/03/senate-panel-explores-speed-of-u-s-military-technology-weapons-development?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=0281fd9d53-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-0281fd9d53-231491269&mc_cid=0281fd9d53&mc_eid=3999f18767

 State Department emails conflict with Clinton’s Benghazi testimony  
{Catherine Herridge} ~ Newly released emails conflict with former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton's 11-hour testimony before the Benghazi Select Committee, according to a review of the transcripts and public records. One of the conflicts involves the role played by Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal... Regarding the dozens of emails from him, which in many cases were forwarded to her State Department team, Clinton testified: "He's a friend of mine. He sent me information he thought might be of interest. Some of it was, some of it wasn't, some of it I forwarded to be followed up on. He had no official position in the government. And he was not at all my adviser on Libya." But a newly released email from February 2011 shows Blumenthal advocated for a no-fly zone over Libya, writing, "U.S. might consider advancing tomorrow. Libyan helicopters and planes are raining terror on cities." The email was forwarded by Clinton to her deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan with the question, "What do you think of this idea?"       http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/11/03/state-department-emails-conflict-with-clintons-benghazi-testimony/

 Empty the Prisons Bill Now on Fast Track  
{Cliff Kincaid} ~ We are witnessing a carefully orchestrated political and media campaign to pass the George Soros-backed Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act of 2015 (S.2123) on the grounds that it is “bipartisan.”... But critics are calling it a soft-on-crime bill that will backfire on the Republicans who help pass it. A big hole in the congressional process to rush the bill through to full approval in the Senate has been exposed by a former prosecutor who says victims of crime were not given a chance to be heard. The former prosecutor, Mary Leary, is a professor at Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C. She has written a scathing review of the bill and the process underway to pass it, saying, “The president and Congress need to reach out to victims. The president has gone all the way to Oklahoma to meet with prisoners. Perhaps he should take a walk in Washington and meet with one of the victims of the over 40,000 crimes that occurred there in 2014 or speak to the families affected by a homicide rate that has increased over 47 percent since last year.”        http://www.aim.org/aim-column/empty-the-prisons-bill-now-on-fast-track/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email110415&utm_medium=email

 Schumer’s Slimy Tactics Abuse Power, Pervert Process, Extort...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Slimy Senator Chuck Schumer is combining abuse of power with extortion as only a Marxist Democrat mobster, sufficiently devoid of morals and patriotism, can do... He’s engaged in a naked attempt to pervert the federal government procurement process in an illegal and unconstitutional infringement upon the Second Amendment, advancing the disarmament component of their assault on America. Having recognized that the people of the country value our right to bear arms and aren’t about to give them up voluntarily, he’s going the Hilly Clinton route to manipulate us through other, subversive means. His target in this case is gun manufacturers. It is surely part of a coordinated, multi-front attack, one that is taking place simultaneously with Michael Bloomberg dumping $2.2 million in TV ads to try to flip the Virginia state senate to Democrat, and enable the Clinton insider governor, Terry McAuliffe, to press their disarmament agenda.

 Congress Moves to Label Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Group  
{Adam Kredo} ~ Lawmakers in both houses of Congress filed legislation on Tuesday that would formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood a sanctioned terrorist organization... according to an advance copy of the legislation obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The legislation outlines the Brotherhood’s long history of sponsoring terrorism and outlines congressional support for it to be designated a global terrorist outfit. The bill also would force Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry to explain why the nObama administration has been hesitant to label the Brotherhood a terrorist group. The Brotherhood’s political wing has been banned in Egypt, where affiliates of the organization overthrew the government and then violently cracked down on its opposition, the United States has avoided labeling the organization a sponsor of terrorism.

 Islamic State Used Captured Humvee in Suicide Bombing  
{Bill Gertz} ~ Islamic State terrorists used a modified U.S. Army Humvee to carry out a suicide car bombing in western Iraq last month... A video posted online Oct. 24 revealed that the Humvee had been fortified with metal plates and packed with explosives as a jihadist suicide bomber drove it into a Shiite militia base, causing a huge explosion. The use of the Army vehicle appears from the video to have been part of the large amount of U.S.-supplied weapons and equipment captured by the Islamic State during its takeover of part of Iraq last year. The terrorist who conducted the attack was identified in the video as Abu-Khalid al-Tajiki, possibly an Islamic State member from Tajikistan who appeared to be in his 20s.        http://freebeacon.com/national-security/islamic-state-used-captured-humvee-in-suicide-bombing/

As the head of the Quds Force – the most powerful security organization in Iran –Soleimani is directly tasked with maintaining the fundamentalist regime in power and is responsible for exploiting Arab World turmoil in recent years to advance Iran's regional hegemonic objectives. From September 2015, Iran increased its number of troops - mainly IRGC soldiers - in Syria from hundreds to thousands, to support Hizballah terrorists acting at Iran's behest in propping up the Bashaar Assad regime. In October 2015, Soleimani reportedly landed in northwestern Syria to brief Hizballah operatives and command a Syrian military offensive, indicating that Iran is diverting more resources from its presence in Iraq to Syria.

A woman lights a memorial candle with the image of assassinated Israeli PM Rabin
.
     {jewishworldreview.com} ~ It is notable that the same week that Israel marked the 20th anniversary of the assassination of prime minister and defense minister Yitzhak Rabin, Palestinian Authority President and PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas went before the UN Human Rights Commission and asked the UN to establish "a special regime of international protection" for the Palestinians against Israel.
.
     "It is no longer useful to waste time in negotiations just for the sake of negotiations. What is required is the ending of the occupation in accordance with international legitimacy," said the man who has never held good-faith negotiations with Israel in his life and has refused to even pretend to hold them for the past seven years.
.
     It is ironic that Abbas issued this latest salvo in his diplomatic war against Israel the week that Israel marked Rabin's assassination. As our putative peace partner was slandering us on yet another international stage, yet again our introspection around the anniversary of the murder showed that we have learned very little over the past 20 years.
.
     As is the case every year, the Left used the anniversary of Rabin's murder to accuse the Right of responsibility both for Rabin's assassination and for the failure of the peace process with the PLO.
.
     For their part, nationalist commentators restated the obvious fact they repeat every year: There is a world of difference between solicitation of murder and a policy dispute.
.
     Israel's annual national self-flagellation around the anniversary of Rabin's murder is a twofold travesty. It is a travesty first because it prevents us from coming to terms with the true reason that Oslo has failed. And it is a travesty because it distorts to the point of nonrecognition Rabin's record as a leader and his lifelong dedication to Israel's national security.
.
     The Left's claim that Yigal Amir killed not only Rabin but the chance of peace rests on the assumption that unlike the five men who have served as prime minister since Rabin was killed, Rabin would have reached a final accord with Yasser Arafat if he had lived to finish his term in office.
.
     This claim ignores the nature of the Oslo process and distorts Rabin's position on it.
.
     Contrary to what Oslo's architects and supporters claim, the Oslo process never could have brought peace between Israel and the Palestinians. It never could have brought peace because the PLO was never interested in peace.
.
     Right after Yasser Arafat concluded the initial deal with Israel in September 1993, he flew from Washington to South Africa. There he told a Muslim audience that the peace process was a fraud. Arafat explained that the Oslo process would weaken Israel while strengthening the Palestinians. They would use this improved position to achieve their goal of Israel's destruction through jihad.
.
     This wasn't a one-time fall from grace on Arafat's part. It was his consistent message to both the Muslim world writ large and to the Palestinians.
.
     After Israel embarked what it viewed as the peace process with the PLO, the Education Ministry began changing the school curriculum.
.
     Beginning in 1994, Israeli children were taught that the PLO was a moderate force and a peace partner.
.
     On the other hand, following the formation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, the Palestinians changed their school curriculum to indoctrinate their children to view Israelis as subhuman and to view the murder of Israelis as the highest moral calling. The suicide bombers of 2000-2005 were the products of this school curriculum.
.
     So, too, while the Rabin government embraced the Israeli peace movement, the PLO hunted down and murdered Palestinians who peacefully coexisted with Israel, by among other things, helping Israel to catch terrorists and prevent terrorist attacks on its citizens. The PA glorified murderers in every possible way, down to printing baseball-type cards with terrorists rather than sports stars pictured as national heroes.
.
     The situation has only grown worse under Arafat's successor Mahmoud Abbas. Under Abbas, Palestinians who merely engage in commerce with Israelis or buy Israeli products have been arrested and discredited by name.
.
     In other words, Oslo didn't fail because Rabin was killed. Oslo failed — and continues to fail — because it was based on false assumptions about the Palestinians and the nature of their conflict with Israel.
.
     Aside from the faith it placed in Arafat as a peacemaker, Oslo assumed that the absence of peace owed to the absence of a Palestinian state and was therefore Israel's fault. If Israel would just give the PLO sufficient lands to make it happy, then there would be peace.
.
     But as Shlomo Ben-Ami, who served as foreign minister when the Oslo process ended with the Palestinian terrorist war at Camp David in July 2000, said, that assumption was also wrong. The Palestinians were never interested in settling their dispute with Israel on any terms.
.
     As Ben-Ami explained to Haaretz in September 2000, "Arafat's concession vis-à-vis Israel at Oslo was a formal concession. Morally and conceptually, he didn't recognize Israel's right to exist. He doesn't accept the idea of two states for two peoples. Neither he nor the Palestinian national movement accept us... More than they want a state of their own, they want to spit out our state."
.
     In other words, Oslo was never a peace process, because the Palestinians saw it not as a means to build their own national homeland but as a means to destroy Israel. The notion that the peace process died with Rabin is absurd because the peace process never existed outside of the Left's imagination.
.
     This brings us to the second travesty at the heart of Israel's annual self-hate fest. Not only does it distort the nature of the Oslo process, it distorts Rabin's life and legacy.
.
     Rabin was not a peacenik. He was not a starry- eyed ideologue. Rabin was a security hawk who dedicated his life to Israel's defense and security. True, Rabin believed that the absence of peace with the Palestinians was the root of the larger Arab world's rejection of Israel. But he also believed that there was a limit to what Israel could offer the Palestinians.
.
     Rabin foresaw the outlines of a final deal with the Palestinians as laying more or less along the lines set out by Yigal Allon in his peace plan in 1967. Rabin believed that the end-state of the peace process would involve an autonomous Palestinian governing authority rather than a state presiding over around half of Judea and Samaria and a large part of Gaza.
.
     Jerusalem, in his view, would remain united under sole Israeli sovereignty. The Israeli communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza would remain in place. Israel would maintain its control over the areas not ceded to the Palestinians, including the international borders with Egypt and Jordan, in perpetuity.
.
     Not to put too fine a point on it, but Rabin's vision of a final deal looked much more like Bayit Yehudi's diplomatic plan than the Labor Party's position.
.
Rabin was also not enamored of Arafat or the PLO.
.
Rabin was not the architect of the Oslo process.
.
     Shimon Peres and his associates negotiated the initial deal at Oslo behind Rabin's back.
.
     Rabin felt compelled to adopt their deal after the fact because he had promised voters in the 1992 election campaign that he would pursue peace with the Palestinians. Once Peres and his associates pressed ahead with the PLO in Oslo, the peace process Rabin oversaw (and knew about) in Washington had no chance of succeeding. He would have broken faith with his constituents if he had rejected Peres's Oslo accord.
.
     But even as he adopted it, he maintained a healthy skepticism of its chances of success.
.
     And as the terrorist attacks mounted in the months that followed the signing ceremony on the White House lawn, Rabin began considering canceling the process.
.
     As left-wing commentator Amnon Abramovich explained in an interview shortly after Rabin's assassination, Rabin "liked the fact that the Oslo agreement was not a done deal, unlike a deal with Syria which would be irreversible.
.
     Rabin emphasized the fact that Oslo was a process that could be reversed at every point."
.
     By the eve of his murder, due to mounting Palestinian terrorism, Rabin was seriously considering abrogating the Oslo process entirely.
.
     In an interview on the 15th anniversary of her father's murder, Dalia Rabin explained that her father was on the verge of canceling the deal and turning back the clock.
.
     In her words, "People who were close to my father told me that on the eve of his assassination he considered ending the Oslo process.
.
     He wasn't a blind man who sprinted forward." Abbas's actions at the UN this week, where he called for the world to protect the Palestinians from Israel while back at home he simultaneously continued his calls for Palestinians to take up knives and take to the wheel of their cars to murder Israelis, cannot come as a surprise.
.
     They are of a piece with the PLO's previous diplomatic machinations from 2000 to 2003 in the wake of its terrorist war against Israel.
.
     Those machinations led the US to form the so-called Quartet with the UN, Russia and the EU and embrace the road map for peace, the most anti-Israel diplomatic document to have ever seen the light of day, in 2003.
.
     Today Abbas uses terrorism at home to convince the UN to dictate the terms of Israeli surrender in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to the PLO.
.
     Abbas and Arafat succeeded 12 years ago and may succeed today for a number of reasons beyond Israel's control, but also for one reason that Israel does control.
.
     Abbas is able to succeed at the UN in part because Israel refuses to acknowledge that there never was a peace process. Arafat lied to us, and to the world, about his intentions, and we lied to ourselves about the nature of the Palestinian war against us. So long as we continue to play along with this tired charade, we will be unable to conceive and implement a diplomatic defense that is coherent and effective against the mountains of lies and murder on which the PLO has based its war against Israel for the past 55 years.
.
     Israel contributes to the PLO's diplomatic success at the UN because it refuses to do what Rabin recognized was necessary 20 years ago.
.
     Rather than learn from his record, Israel has spent the past 20 years distorting his record.
.
     The time has come to do justice to Rabin and end the Oslo process once and for all.

Romantic Liar Ben Carson, Trump is the Way

So.... Ben Carson is going around telling people he attacked people with hammers and knives, and what is this supposed to demonstrate his strength or what? Because that's not something I personally would be readily proud of, redemption stories of The Lord aside... And then, to top it off! Turns out he's lying?? Bragging about psychopathic acts he didn't commit! I don't know what's crazier, having done those things in the first place, or lying about doing them. He's sounds like a self-romanticizing narcissist is about all... STICK WITH TRUMP, the only hope for this country.

A PRAYER FOR AMERICA

4064149443?profile=originalFather God, we ask that you can once more come to the aid of America. For we have lost our way and are struggling in the darkness. Many have been separated from you for too long. We remember how you have walked by our side so many times in our glorious history as a faithful and supporting friend to our republic. And at the same time you blessed us and our families as citizens of your reverent and respectful nation called America. We long for the recovery of our blessed nation to the goodness and beacon of truth and freedom that it once was.

Now our country is controlled by dark and retched men. Hijacked by despots and those who practice un clean and perverted life styles. Many of our citizens and leaders are an abomination to you O Lord. Our White House has been occupied and controlled by dark and satanic forces. Our leader has turned his back on you and your love and wisdom. We as a nation have been separated from you by the will of the evil one.

Lord we ask your help and ask you to have mercy on America. Give the faithful the opportunity to drive Satan out of the White House and out of our land. Guide our hand in the coming battles and help restore us to a great and Godly nation again.

Amen

 GOP CAMPAIGNS COME TO TERMS ON DEBATES  
Fox News: “Republican presidential campaigns agreed Sunday to side-step party leaders and try to negotiate directly with television networks over the ground rules for the remaining debates following controversy over last week’s CNBC event…Representatives from more than a dozen campaigns met behind closed doors for nearly two hours Sunday night in suburban Washington, a meeting that was not expected to yield many results given the competing interests of several candidates. Yet they emerged having agreed to several changes to be outlined in a letter to debate hosts in the coming days.”  -Fox News

 nOBAMACARE STUMBLES BODE ILL FOR HILLY   A steady drumbeat of bad nObamaCare news is a sharp reminder that President nObama’s five-year old entitlement program is hitting the wall just as 2016 campaign is heating up. Next year’s enrollment period opened Sunday with the administration’s tepid goal to sign up less than half the originally projected 21 million enrollees. Premiums are  spiking, mandated penalties for not enrolling are doubling and nearly half of nObamaCare insurance co-ops, set up at a cost of billions, have gone under. 
          Hardly a victory lap for the president, Hilly Clinton’s all in and more support for nObamaCare is popular with the base, but leaves her wide-open with the general electorate. Clinton he has offered to eradicate a few politically expedient bugs, but with most Republican 2016ers calling for a radical fumigation or complete extermination of the troubled program the contrast could hardly be clearer.

 Israel's unheralded Syrian humanitarian project  
{Paul Alster} ~ While the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of Syrians by the Assad regime and a raft of regional Islamic terror organizations shows no sign of ending... an unheralded Israeli humanitarian mission recently marked the treatment of 2,000 Syrian patients. Although the two countries remain sworn enemies, advocates of Israel's program caring for badly wounded Syrians highlight the Jewish imperative to save life whenever possible. Despite endangering the lives of Israeli soldiers and medical personnel, it has enabled critically injured Syrians, with no one else to turn to for lifesaving treatment, to cross the border to an Israeli field hospital close to Har (Mount) Bental.

 Glenn Beck Just Offered to Host GOP Debate

In an open letter to Priebus, Beck said the debates so far have insulted Republican candidates and voters. Beck is offering to host the debate via his online television property at TheBlaze.com, currently available via cable in more than 12 million homes. The proposed format would see Beck host but invite what he calls "the greatest new conservative thinkers and media voices in America" to ask questions that go beyond the surface:

 U.N. Ruling is Turning Point for Overlapping South China Sea Claims  
{Armando J. Heredia} ~ The United Nations Permanent Court of Arbitration handed out a decision on Thursday that the Republic of the Philippines’ case against the People’s Republic of China regarding Law of the Seas violations can be heard... This long-awaited decision marks a turning point in the complex landscape of international legality as more maritime nations seek to establish boundaries on their oceanic and littoral territories. The court now moves to hear the merits of the case, with a decision expected sometime in 2016. A decision favorable to the Philippines could set the stage for that country’s legal standing on existing claims in the contested Spratly Islands, and further isolate China as the emerging maritime power seeks to consolidate its hold upon valuable resources in the South China Sea.

 What Do Palestinians Want?  
{DANIEL POLISAR} ~ The most recent wave of Palestinian terror attacks, now entering its second month, has been mainly the work of “lone wolf” operators running over Israeli civilians, soldiers, and policemen with cars or stabbing them with knives... The perpetrators, many in or just beyond their teenage years, are not, for the most part, activists in the leading militant organizations. They have been setting forth to find targets with the expectation, generally fulfilled, that after scoring a casualty or two they will be killed or badly wounded. What drives these young Palestinians, experts say, is a viral social-media campaign centered on claims that the Jews are endangering the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and that Israel is executing Palestinian children. Absent almost entirely from this discussion has been any attempt to understand the perspective of everyday Palestinians. Yet it is precisely the climate of public opinion that shapes and in turn is shaped by the declarations of Palestinian leaders, and that creates the atmosphere in which young people choose whether to wake up in the morning, pull a knife from the family kitchen, and go out in search of martyrdom. Whether commentators are ignoring the views of mainstream Palestinians out of a mistaken belief that public opinion does not matter in dictatorships, or out of a dismissive sense that they are powerless pawns whose fate is decided by their leaders, Israel, or regional and world powers, the omission is both patronizing and likely to lead to significant misunderstandings of what is happening. In this essay I aim to fill the lacuna by addressing what Palestinians think both about violence against Israelis and about the core issues that supply its context and justification.

 The White House is preparing for catastrophic solar flares  
{Michael Harthorne} ~ If a giant solar flare hit the Earth, it could knock out the entire power grid, meaning no more new Justin Bieber singles, no more televised presidential debates, and no more Facebook photos of babies... But it wouldn't be all good news. The Washington Post reports the electromagnetic pulse—or EMP—created by such an event could wipe out electricity for months on end, creating a global catastrophe. That's why the White House released its National Space Weather Strategy on Thursday. According to the Houston Chronicle, the multiagency plan details how the US will prepare for—and deal with—a massive EMP from space weather.

 DESTROYING YOUR VOTE  
{Walter Williams} ~ Voter ID laws have been challenged because liberal Democrats deem them racist... I guess that's because they see blacks as being incapable of acquiring some kind of government-issued identification. Interesting enough is the fact that I've never heard of a challenge to other ID requirements as racist, such as those: to board a plane, open a charge account, have lab work done or cash a welfare check. Since liberal Democrats only challenge legal procedures to promote ballot-box integrity, the conclusion one reaches is that they are for vote fraud prevalent in many Democrat-controlled cities. There is another area where the attack on ballot-box integrity goes completely unappreciated. We can examine this attack by looking at the laws governing census taking. As required by law, the U.S. Census Bureau is supposed to count all persons in the U.S. Those to be counted include citizens, legal immigrants and non-citizen long-term visitors. The law also requires that illegal immigrants be a part of the decennial census. The estimated number of illegal immigrants ranges widely from 12 million to 30 million. Official estimates put the actual number closer to 12 million. Both citizens and non-citizens are included in the census and thus affect apportionment counts. Counting illegals in the census undermines one of the fundamental principles of representative democracy — namely, that every citizen-voter has an equal voice. Through the decennial census-based process of apportionment, states with large numbers of illegal immigrants, such as California and Texas, unconstitutionally gain additional members in the U.S. House of Representatives thereby robbing the citizen-voters in other states of their rightful representation.

 Harry’s Heroine Hikes 1,000 Miles For Wounded Troops…  
{Terresa Monroe-Hamilton} ~ Meet Kirstie Ennis, one of the bravest Americans out there. Her story moved me to tears and I wanted to share it with you... Kirstie is a 24 year-old Marine Corps veteran who toured in Afghanistan. Her life changed dramatically on June 23rd, 2012 when the massive Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter that she was riding on as the door gunner crashed. She survived, but woke up to a living nightmare that she almost didn’t make it through. The butt of her gun went through her jaw and ripped it off. She was missing half her face and she was swallowing her teeth. All that happened when her 50-caliber machine gun smashed through the left side of the chopper when it crashed. Her legs and arms were crushed. Kirstie had brain and spinal damage. She thought she was going to die and that it was over for her. They don’t know why the helicopter crashed, but it was fast. When you fall at 150 ft. per second, there’s no time to wonder why. That was the day her career as a Marine ended. It was all she had wanted to do her whole life and now all she wanted to do was survive.

 Debating Against BDS - and Winning  
{Alan M. Dershowitz} ~ When I was invited to debate in favor of the motion "Is BDS Wrong?" at the Oxford Union, I fully expected to lose the vote of the 250 or so students and faculty who are members of the oldest debate society in the world... "Israel always loses at Oxford," I was warned by colleagues who had debated other Israel-related issues. Nonetheless, I decided to participate, hoping to change some minds. I proposed as my opponent Omar Barghouti, the Qatari-born, Israeli-educated, co-founder and spokesperson of the BDS movement, but he refused to debate me. The Union then selected Noura Erekat, a Palestinian-American human rights attorney, who has been a vocal supporter of BDS. When she backed out at the last minute, I began to get suspicious: was the BDS movement boycotting me? After all, BDS advocates have called for "common sense" academic boycotts against individuals who they feel are too vocal in their support for Israel, in addition to a blanket boycott of all Israeli academic institutions. After speaking with the organizers of the debate at Oxford, I continue to believe that I was in fact being boycotted.

 Netanyahu Schools hanoi-Kerry on His Lies About Terror Attacks  
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference to set the record straight about the recent wave of terror attacks that Israel has been experiencing... The Prime Minister took issue with Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry’s recent comments that the violence was as a result of building going on in Israeli communities. hanoi-Kerry told a crowd at Harvard University that, “There’s been a massive increase in settlement over the course of the last years and there’s an increase in the violence because there’s this frustration that’s growing.” Netanyahu challenged hanoi-Kerry by saying that, “They’re attacking us not because they want peace or don’t want peace. It’s because they don’t want us here in Israel. If they’re frustrated, I assure you that frustration will continue because we’re going to continue to be here. As far as settlements are concerned, this is not a result of a ‘massive’ wave of settlements because there’s not been a massive wave of settlements.

 Media ‘Full of Antisemitism, Hatred for Israel’  
{Shiryn Ghermezian} ~ A prominent Palestinian human rights activist lamented on Monday night what he called the media’s unfair treatment of the Jewish state... At a pro-Israel gathering hosted by advocacy group StandWithUs in New York City, Bassem Eid, a Jerusalemite, said the press, which is “full of antisemitism” and “hatred,” is “much more interested in fighting against Israel” than discovering the truth. So, he added, “Let us Palestinians tell the world what we are really suffering from.” Eid, a former director of the Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group (PHRMG), said Palestinians are “fed up and hopeless,” and have lost trust in the Palestinian Authority (PA). Meanwhile, he asserted, Israel is “the safest place” for Palestinians in the Middle East.        http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/11/03/palestinian-human-rights-activist-media-full-of-antisemitism-hatred-for-israel/

     {jewishworldreview.com} ~ America's traditional Middle East allies, having run out of patience with President Barack nObama's policy in Syria, are now reaching out to a resurgent Russia -- even though it is bolstering the very dictator so many of them have pushed to leave power.
.
     Some in Washington see the new ties as a threat to U.S. interests, especially because the U.S. has worked since the 1970s to keep Russian influence out of the Middle East. But the nObama administration sees an opportunity. The State Department is now quietly encouraging U.S. allies to engage with Moscow, as part of Secretary hanoi-John Kerry's quest to win Russian support for a political process in Syria.
.
     hanoi-Kerry is the main U.S. official still arguing for cooperation with Russia to start peace talks that could resolve the Syrian civil war. But the Russian response has been consistently to rebuke hanoi-Kerry's offers. Since hanoi-Kerry began his latest diplomacy push in the spring, the Russians have sent tanks, bombers and soldiers to Syria. The Russian air force has focused its bombing on the U.S.-backed opposition instead of the Islamic State, the terrorists whom hanoi-Kerry believes present a common enemy for Russia and the U.S.
.
     Nevertheless, hanoi-Kerry has been pushing forward with his plan to convince Russia to be a partner in stabilizing the Middle East. He convened a meeting in Vienna last Friday between the foreign ministers of Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and expressed optimism the four countries could work together on Syria.
.
     "While we can agree to disagree on what and when might occur with respect to the resolution of the Assad problem, we clearly can agree on a process that helps to bring about a resolution of that question. And that is a very important starting place," hanoi-Kerry said.
.
      After the meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in his remarks to the press briefly focused on common objectives Russia shared with the U.S. But Lavrov used the opportunity mainly to launch into a broad criticism of U.S. policy in the region. He complained about the U.S. interventions in Iraq and Libya and said that Russia would never support a plan that included regime change in Damascus.
.
     "I have already heard rumors that deals are being or will be made here that in a certain time period President Assad will go," he said. "All this is not so."
.
     A senior administration official told us last week that this time around hanoi-Kerry is trying to start a political process despite the disagreement over Bashar al-Assad. hanoi-Kerry has said recently that the U.S. could accept Assad remaining in power for a transition period, but the official said the Russians won't concede to that.
.
     "If we can get into a political process, sometimes these things have a way of resolving themselves," hanoi-Kerry said Friday.
.
     But while hanoi-Kerry focused on convincing Russia to join with the West, Putin has been working to convince America's Middle East allies that Moscow is the new power in the region.
.
     Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's former ambassador to Washington and former intelligence chief, said as much Friday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. There he gave President Vladimir Putin credit for outmaneuvering the U.S. and said Russia was now in a position to demand attention and respect.
.
     "Putin is a man who has done so much harm to innocent people throughout the area in Syria. But I must also consider that he is the head of a state, and that state is a big state, and he feels that state should have a decision-making role in the world," he said. "And we have to deal with him. And it's not that you ignore him or cast him off as a megalomaniac. He has a vision of the world and a strategy to put that vision in place."
.
     By hosting Assad in Moscow, Turki said, Putin sent a message to the region that anyone who wishes to oust Assad must go through him. Putin may not be sincere when he says he wants to fight the Islamic State, but the U.S.-led coalition has not committed the resources necessary for the mission either, he said.
.
     While Russia participates in the new U.S.-led discussions over Syria, it is simultaneously striking side deals with U.S. allies to further its military presence there, which the U.S. government has called counterproductive.
.
     On the same day as the Vienna meeting, Russia signed an agreement with Jordan to coordinate militarily against the Islamic State. The next day, hanoi-Kerry traveled to Jordan and Saudi Arabia to discuss Syria with leaders there. (Putin didn't have to go to Saudi Arabia; the Saudi defense minister had visited Moscow earlier this month.) And while hanoi-Kerry was in the region, the government of Iraq announced it had given Russia the green light to begin airstrikes there too, over U.S. objections.
.
     Other gulf states have sent senior diplomats to Moscow in the last two weeks to discuss Russia's recent moves into Syria. One senior Arab diplomat told us that these discussions were mainly to gauge Russia's long-term intentions in Syria and to try to persuade Moscow to bomb Islamic State targets rather than more moderate rebels.
.
     American allies who are not active in multilateral diplomacy over Syria have been establishing closer ties to Moscow as well. This month, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went to see Putin, Israel established a hotline with Russia's military to avoid an accidental confrontation between their forces. After Egyptian President Abdel el-Sisi visited Putin in August, he pledged Egypt would work with Moscow against the Islamic State.
.
     Retired Gen. Jack Keane testified last week that Moscow is betting on U.S. inaction.
.
     "Putin is counting on the United States' fear of escalation and fear of confrontation to scare off any U.S. retaliation," Keane said. "We need to continue to push for Assad to go, but lets be realistic. Russia, as Assad's protector, will now play the decisive role."
.
     Some within the nObama administration tell us that Putin and Lavrov are leading hanoi-Kerry on and that the only way Russia would become a constructive partner in Syria would be through coercion, such as sanctions against Putin or more military aid to the rebels Putin is attacking. But the White House is unwilling to escalate pressures against Russia because the guiding principle is to avoid a new crisis with Moscow.
.
     The immediate problem with hanoi-Kerry's approach is that it forces America's friends in the region to hedge their bets and move closer to Russia. Over the long term, there is a contradiction in hanoi-Kerry's plan. Putin is either the key to a peaceful resolution in Syria or the main obstacle.

 Hey, Look — Boots on the Ground in Syria  
"I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria." —Barack nObama, Sept. 10, 2013
          Well, it seems nObama has crossed his own red line. "The White House has approved the deployment of small teams of U.S. special-operations forces to locations in northeastern Syria," The Wall Street Journal reports, "expanding America's direct role on the ground in support of local fighters as they prepare for a new military campaign against Islamic State militants in their stronghold in Raqqa, officials said. The new deployment would amount to the first sustained U.S. ground presence in Syria."
          But don't worry; nObama spokesman Josh Earnest insists, "These forces do not have a combat mission." Would that be similar to the "not combat mission" that cost Master Sgt. Joshua L. Wheeler his life?
          Just in the last month, nObama has announced that he will keep more troops in Afghanistan, send troops to Iraq and establish a small presence in Syria. It's hard to mistake the signs: Even he realizes his stubborn refusal to lead in the region has left nothing but chaos. Perhaps he also realized that leaving the job of Middle East stability to Russian President Vladimir Putin is a bad idea in need of hitting a reset button. And then there's the political calculation of wanting to pass the reins to Hilly Clinton, who is responsible for at least some of the disaster in the Middle East. nObama recently explained, "Part of what we have to do here ... is to try different things." It sure seems like he's just throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping some of it sticks. The trouble is, he's putting American lives on the line for missions he clearly doesn't believe in.
          Also don't miss the numerous BIG Lies nObama told about American involvement.  -The Patriot Post

 Publisher's Note: Tailwinds to a Tennessee Statesman  
Fred Thompson was a self-made man, born of modest means, who excelled in his career as a lawyer, a character actor and a reluctant politician. He died this weekend at age 73. He was a Patriot and a man of integrity, who gained the early respect of his peers both as minority counsel during the Senate Watergate investigation and his relentless pursuit of a corrupt Democratic Tennessee Governor, Ray Blanton. I first met Fred in 1993 when he was campaigning for the Senate seat vacated by Albert Gore after Bill Clinton's election. I had the opportunity to write some white papers for Fred's campaign on Second Amendment rights and other conservative topics. A statement from his family noted, "Fred stood on principle and common sense, and had a deep love for and connection with the people across Tennessee whom he had the privilege to serve in the United States Senate. ... Fred was the same man on the floor of the Senate, the movie studio, or the town square of Lawrenceburg, his home." Indeed he was. Fred was an inspirational supporter of The Patriot Post when we launched in 1996, and he offered this endorsement: "The Patriot Post's message provides a critical touchstone for those inside the Beltway who have forgotten whom they serve." Fred did not intend to serve more than one or two terms, but it was the death of his daughter Betsy in 2002 that really took the wind out of his political sails. In a personal note in 2003, Fred wrote, "Thanks to The Patriot Post for your considerable efforts to hold back the 'Clintonistas' while I was in the Senate." As a lawyer, statesman, actor and fellow Tennessean, he will be missed.  -The Patriot Post

 Newspaper Assumed Woman Used Gun to Maim and Kill  
An Oklahoma woman could be charged with four counts of second-degree murder for allegedly ramming her car into a crowd of people at the homecoming parade at Oklahoma State University. But a newspaper in another state mistakenly pinned the incident of mass death and injury on the Leftmedia's favorite pariah — guns. "Shooter kills 4; 30 injured," a daily newspaper in Michigan, the Traverse City Record-Eagle,wrote atop a wire story of the incident that ran in its Oct. 25 edition. "Because of a page designer's error," the paper posted on its website that afternoon, "a misleading headline appeared on page 3A in Sunday'sRecord-Eagle accompanying a story about a driver who struck and killed four people at the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade on Saturday." This mistake seems to be in a similar vein to the infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline that the Chicago Tribune ran on the eve of Truman's victory in the 1948 elections. The paper must go out, and someone probably prepositioned a headline before the whole story came in. But the headline was never changed as the edition headed out to the press. It reveals the Leftmedia's assumptions whenever a mass casualty incident occurs. Cars can kill too.  -The Patriot Post

 Religious Accommodation, or Political Favoritism?  
For the nObama administration, some religious accommodations are, to borrow a phrase, “more equal than others."
          In Illinois, a jury awarded two Muslim truck drivers $240,000 in damages and back pay after their claims that being forced to transport alcohol constituted religious discrimination were upheld by U.S. District Court Judge James E. Shadid, a Barack nObama appointee. The Somalian Muslims, Mahad Abass Mohamed and Abdkiarim Hassan Bulshale, worked for the Star Transport trucking company based in Morton, Illinois, and were fired in 2009.
          Shadid made his ruling in March, when Star Transport admitted liability. Yet the most telling element of the case was that both men were represented by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which took up the case in 2013. The EEOC asserted Star Transport had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires accommodations for employees’ religious convictions provided those accommodations do not present an "undue hardship.” The EEOC insisted its investigation revealed the trucking company “could have readily avoided assigning these employees to alcohol delivery without any undue hardship, but chose to force the issue despite the employees’ Islamic religion.”
          According to UCLA Law professor Eugene Volokh, the court  explained the trucking company was able “swap loads between drivers” on several occasions and conceded that it could have accommodated this request as well. Yet the company insisted it shouldn’t be held liable for punitive damages. "This concession was important, and if Star Transport had fought the case, and shown that such a swap would indeed be difficult ... it should have won,” Volokh writes. "But when accommodating an employee just requires a bit of extra administrative hassle ... the federal Civil Rights Act requires the employer to do this.”  -The Patriot Post

 Across Africa, nObama Expands Secret Wars, Assassinations  
{Alex Newman} ~ While most of the press has focused on nObama's military machinations in Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, the administration has also been quietly expanding its secret wars and assassination programs across Africa... From training the militaries of various unsavory regimes and boosting the military capabilities of the so-called African Union, to establishing drone bases to facilitate espionage and extrajudicial killings, the White House is literally treating the continent as a vast battlefield in need of perpetual U.S. “intervention.” And the consequences have been deadly. Additional insight into the White House's shadowy scheming emerged in late October, when The Intercept published a series of stories on nObama's mass-murder programs, based largely on leaked documents, under the title “Drone Papers.” One of the articles zeroed in on a semi-secret drone base in the nation of Djibouti dubbed Chabelley Airfield. Of course, The New American and other publications have been reporting on nObama's African drone machinations in the small African nation since at least 2012. But the new report sheds additional light on what appear to be preparations for lawless war in Africa without end — and without any legal authority or public oversight.           http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/21872-across-africa-obama-expands-secret-wars-assassinations?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Read%20on%2E%2E%2E&utm_campaign=Across%20Africa%2C%20Obama%20Expands%20Secret%20Wars%2C%20Assassinationscontent

 STEALTH AGENDA: New UN Tribunal to Judge US for “Climate Debt  
{”William F. Jasper} ~ The official draft text of the climate treaty for the soon-to-start UN Climate Summit in Paris proposes to establish a global Supreme Court that would rule on issues such as “climate justice,”... “climate finance,” “technology transfers,” and “climate debt.” Tucked away on page 19 of the 34-page document is the call for establishing an International Tribunal of Climate Justice. The text, which is still heavily bracketed with text that hasn’t been completely resolved and agreed upon. With all the world’s politically correct politicians and all the world’s “progressive” journalistas and Big Media commentariat daily hyperventilating over the ever-growing list of alleged threats and catastrophes caused by global warming, it might be expected that there would be some mention of this planned environmental judicial system for the planet. However, since the text was released on October 20, there has been a virtual blackout in the major media regarding this revolutionary development. The only mentions that one is likely to find with search engines are alarms being sounded by critics — the climate realists who reject the apocalyptic predictions (and discredited pseudo-science —  herehere, and here) of the multi-billion-dollar global warming lobby.         http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/21868-stealth-agenda-new-un-tribunal-to-judge-us-for-climate-debt?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=STEALTH%20AGENDA%3A%20New%20UN%20Tribunal%20to%20Judge%20US%20for%20Climate%20Debt&utm_campaign=Across%20Africa%2C%20Obama%20Expands%20Secret%20Wars%2C%20Assassinationscontent

 nObama and Jihadi Jeh Johnson plot to circumvent Judge Hanen’s...  
{rickwells.us} ~ As the clock winds down ever-so-slowly on the illegitimate nObama regime’s second term of Congressional-enabled usurpation, the brazenness with which he continues to expand his lawlessness is increasing in direct proportion... He’s already violated American law on multiple occasions and in doing so the will and acts of the legislative branch, most notably through the refusal to enforce existing laws by his chief henchman, Homeland “Security” Secretary “Jihadi Jeh” Johnson. We are now learning that this same rogue outlaw agency is preparing to violate the other co-equal branch of government as well, the judicial, by defying Judge Andrew Hanen’s injunction suspending the illegal nObama amnesty declaration. The Hill reported that a document has surfaced which is an apparent follow-up to a DHS “Regulations Retreat” which took place last summer. In it regime operatives outline various circumventions of Judge Hanen’s amnesty injunction, in varying degrees of severity, which are under consideration.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21659

 Deep-Pocketed Donors Behind Campus Anti-Koch Movement

Despite that spending, their grantees say that conservative and libertarian philanthropists are uniquely determined to advance their own views on campus at the expense of academic freedom.

 Iran Launches Blockade On U.S. Goods  
{Adam Kredo} ~ Iran announced over the weekend that it is beginning to implement a blockade of all U.S. goods into the country following an order by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who has directed the country’s government to form an “economy of resistance.”... The order comes following a letter sent late last month by Khamenei to President Hassan Rouhani. Khamenei called the United States “hostile and disruptive” and directed leaders to cut off all further negotiations with America. Iran’s trade and industrial ministry announced the blockade on Sunday in a statement carried by the country’s state-controlled media. “We will implement the blockade on imports of American goods in a directive,” Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh, the ministry’s leader, announced in a statement published by PressTV.        http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-launches-blockade-on-us-goods/

{Daniel Wiser} ~ The Islamic State has continued to make gains in central Syria amid a barrage of Russian airstrikes that have mostly targeted rebel groups elsewhere in the country, according to reports... The terrorist group is reported to haveseized the town of Mahin in central Homs province during the weekend. Mahin is located near a strategic highway that links Homs to the capital Damascus. Islamic State militants also captured large arms depots in Mahin. Additionally, the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS or ISIL) has taken control of some villages in eastern Aleppo province, the scene of intense clashes between rebel groups and Syrian government forces backed by Iranian troops and Russian airstrikes. The advances have allowed the terrorist group to expand from its current stronghold in northern and eastern Syria. Ha!

 Feds spent $43 million on Afghan gas station that...  
{Elizabeth Harrington} ~ The Department of Defense (DOD) spent $43 million on a two-pump gas station in Afghanistan that should have cost $500,000, an “ill-conceived” project that Afghans have little use for, according to a new report released Monday... The office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) discovered the Pentagon had no explanation for where the funds went, questioning a DOD program that has spent nearly $800 million in the country since 2009. The Task Force for Stability and Business Operations (TFBSO) program built a compressed natural gas (CNG) automobile filling station in Sheberghan, Afghanistan, with the goal of expanding the natural gas market in the region. In a scathing letter to Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John F. Sopko blasted the project as an egregious waste of taxpayer funding that has had no economic impact.        http://freebeacon.com/issues/feds-spent-43-million-on-afghan-gas-station-that-should-have-cost-500000/

 State Banishes Sanctuary Cities  
{totalconservative.com} ~ At least we know that there is one state in the nation that believes it might be a good idea to actually make sure our streets are free from illegal immigrants... In North Carolina, they see the damage that illegal immigration is doing to the country. They see the ways that it harms the economy. They see how it is a threat to public safety. And maybe they even see that it is taking a toll on the very foundation of our democracy. There, Governor Pat McCrory has done what our representatives in Congress cannot do. He has signed into law a new bill that will ban any N.C. cities from hiding illegal immigrants from federal agents. The Protect N.C. Workers Act will make it illegal for sanctuary cities to exist in the Tarheel State. “We cannot allow our local officials in towns and cities in North Carolina to make up their own rules that conflict with our nation’s laws and our nation’s values,” the governor said. That seems like the kind of statement that would be a big “duh” but that’s not the world we live in now. We’ve strayed so far from common sense that governors are now forced to sign bills requiring cities and municipalities to, um, actually obey the law. And that should be a pretty good sign that something is very wrong.

 Bill Ayers to Black Lives Matter: Create a fire  
{JEROME R. CORSI} ~ Bill Ayers, the former colleague of President nObama who co-founded the domestic terrorist group Weather Underground, acknowledged in a radio interview the revolutionary ideology driving the Black Lives Matter movement... “I have been very energetic in my support of Black Lives Matter,” Ayers told host Eugene Puryear of the online radio show “Liberation Radio,” produced by an activist group called the Party for Socialism and Liberation. The interview with Ayers, a retired professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, took place Friday. In a  September interview with the Yale campus paper, Ayers boast of his influence on the 2008 election of nObama and described himself as “a First Amendment fundamentalist that is also a socialist, anarchist and communist.” In the interview Friday, he said Black Lives Matter is “one of the most hopeful signs in the last several decades of folks coming together and building a movement for fundamental change.” At the beginning of the interview, Ayers placed the movement in the context of socialist revolutionary methodology.

     {jewishworldreview.com} ~ Iran has arrested another American holding dual citizenship, bringing to four the number of Iranian Americans imprisoned in Tehran after they came under suspicion by hard-line security forces.
.
     Siamak Namazi, a businessman based in Dubai who is in his early 40s, was arrested earlier this month when he was visiting a friend in Tehran, according to a family friend who did not want to be identified. It was not clear whether any charges have been brought against him or what authorities might allege he did.
.
     Namazi, the son of a former governor in the oil-rich Iranian province of Khuzestan, comes from a prominent Iranian family. Namazi's family came to the United States in 1983 when he was a boy, and he later returned to Iran after graduating from college to serve in the Iranian military. He has consulted on business opportunities in Iran for more than a decade.
.
     A relative of Namazi's said the family had tried to keep the arrest private, and the relative declined to comment. Word of the arrest of an unnamed Iranian American businessman was first reported by Iran Wire on Oct. 15. Namazi was named as the one who was arrested in several tweets by Iranian Americans earlier this month.
.
     The State Department has repeatedly pressed Iran to release three other imprisoned Americans: Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian, who has been held for more than a year, was recently convicted after an espionage trial; former Marine Amir Hekmati of Flint, Mich., who was accused of being a spy when he went to Iran to visit his grandmother, has been held since 2011; and Saeed Abedini, a pastor from Boise, Idaho, was convicted in 2013 of threatening Iran's national security by participating in home churches. Rezaian, Hekmati and Abedini have all strongly denied the allegations against them.
.
     When asked about Namazi, the State Department declined to confirm his arrest.
.
     "We're aware of recent reports of the possible arrest in Iran of a person reported to have U.S. citizenship," said State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner. "We're looking into these reports and don't have anything further to provide at this time."
.
     Namazi's arrest suggests that hard-liners in Iran may be trying to create another point of tension with the United States and thereby throw a wrench in the Iran nuclear deal. His arrest came days before an agreed-upon date called adoption day, when the Iranian government has committed to begin dismantling some of its nuclear infrastructure.The part of the government controlled by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is reformist-minded and seeks more engagement with the West to help jump-start its economy. But hard-liners who control the judiciary and intelligence services oppose the idea, fearful it will open the country to foreign influence. The Revolutionary Guard, Iraq's most powerful security and military organization, is the entity that would have been responsible for the arrests of the four Iranian Americans.
.
     Iranian Americans such as Namazi are particularly vulnerable to arrest because Iran does not recognize dual nationality.
.
     Namazi himself has written prolifically about his experiences and conflicted feelings toward the country of his birth. His writings paint the portrait of an idealist who tried to build bridges between the country of his birth and the country where he was raised.
.
     He moved to the United States when his father got a job with the United Nations. He earned degrees from the London Business School and from Rutgers and Tufts universities.
.
     Namazi was still young during the Iranian Revolution in 1979, when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to Tehran after 15 years in exile, and his supporters took over the government.
.
     In journal-like pieces he wrote more than a decade ago for the Iranian, he talked about his decision after graduating from Tufts to return to his birthplace.
.
     "Iran had practically become a dream now, an invented product of childhood imagination," he wrote. "Still, this land of my dreams was all I thought about. My passion for return was so great, it hurt. The only thing greater than that pain was the fear that I rarely even allowed myself to think of: What happens if I someday return and find out that everything has changed? Then I will be left dry, without a dream, a hope, a home."
.
     He became a U.S. citizen in 1993. One reason, he later wrote, was to make it easier to get grants and scholarships to pay for his education, and so he could travel without the hassles of an Iranian passport.
.
     A year later, in 1994, he returned to Iran to fulfill his compulsory military duty. He spent 2 1/2 years there, serving as a duty officer in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning.
.
     He also wrote often that he thought Iranian Americans could be the bridge between the two cultures that often viewed each other as enemies.
.
     "The new generation must be made to feel that no matter how much time elapses they will be welcomed and treated with respect in the land of their parents," he wrote in 1998.
.
     "Iran is our motherland, our home, our innocence, our retreat, our passion, our love. It is our unalienable right to travel to and from Iran freely and without restrictions. If you really want us back to help rebuild the country, if you want our children to maintain a bond to the land of their parents, stop treating us like criminals. Why do we have to explain ourselves to you?"
.
     Namazi worked for a time at a family consulting company founded in Tehran and later based in Dubai. According to its Web site, the Atieh Group helped Iranian businesses connect with foreign companies seeking to do business inside Iran. More recently, he worked as the head of strategic planning at the Crescent Petroleum Co. in the United Arab Emirates. It was unclear whether he was employed as a management consultant at the time of his arrest or whether he was working independently.
.
     In recent years, Namazi became outspoken about how financial sanctions had made it difficult to obtain lifesaving medicine in Iran, even though they are technically exempted.
.
     "The West must relax and rationalize the terms of its sanctions regime against Iran to allow more medical goods into the country," he wrote in an opinion-page piece for the New York Times in 2013. "If it doesn't, more Iranian men, women and children will suffer needlessly."

 What's NOAA Hiding? Agency Leaves Congress in the Dark  
First there was ClimateGate, the scandal that broke in 2009 when a hacker exposed extensive data belonging to the UK's University of East Anglia. That data, which unveiled scandalous email correspondence and a fallacious methodology dubbed the "fudge factor," revealed a concerted effort by some of the world's most influential climate scientists to keep evidence of global cooling in a shroud of secrecy. As we noted at the time, it was the biggest scandal to rock the scientific world in quite some time. After all, environmental policy is based on what the measurements depict — that's the claim, at least — but those measurements were manipulated and exploited by the purveyors of climate alarmism. That malfeasance, however, appears to be just the tip of the iceberg.
          Skeptical scientists have long rejected climate hyperbole. One reason is that satellite temperature measurements continue to depict a warming hiatus, which now stands at 18 years 8 months. Faced with growing pressure to address the chatter, a group of warmists tried to quash those claims in a study published in June. According to the authors, NOAA's own findings "do not support the notion of a 'slowdown' in the increase of global surface temperature." The researchers even rejected the IPCC's recent conclusion that a slowdown indeed did happen. Fine, so let's see all the evidence. Oh, wait, we can't, because the authors would rather keep some of it a secret.
          According to the journal Nature, "Representative Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican who leads the House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, asked NOAA in July for the data used in the study and for any internal communications related to it. NOAA has provided the committee with the publicly available data and has briefed committee staff on the research, but the agency has not turned over the communications." Nor does it plan to. "Although NOAA's latest response to the committee skirted the issue, the agency suggests in a 27 October statement to Nature that it has no intention of handing over documents that reveal its internal deliberations." Nothing to see here, right?
          Smith contends, "NOAA needs to come clean about why they altered the data to get the results they needed to advance this administration's extreme climate change agenda." The Investor's Business Daily editorial board observed, "What's strange is that major temperature revisions by NOAA and others in recent years have always been up — never down — a clear sign of possible bias." The agency can put these allegations to rest with a little transparency. But it won't, which leads us to just one conclusion: The ClimateGate fraud is bigger and more malicious than anyone realizes. -The Patriot Post

Dems' Biggest Super PAC Defends Clinton Again  
Sen. Marco Rubio has the answer to why Hilly Clinton is not damaged by her blatant deception surrounding the deadly 2012 attack on the Benghazi consulate. "You know the Democrats have the ultimate super PAC," Rubio said at the Republican presidential debate Wednesday. "It's called the mainstream media."
          That super PAC turned on Rubio over his claim that Clinton lied when Rubio appeared on CBS Thursday morning. "You're saying, Senator, that Hilly Clinton lied to help Barack nObama in his re-election campaign," journalist Charlie Rose said. "That's a serious charge!"
          Rubio seemed flabbergasted by Rose's statement. "Yes!" Rubio replied. "It's the truth. That's not only why she did it. That's why everyone in the administration did it. The narrative of their campaign at the time, Charlie, was that al-Qaida was 'on the run' and had been defeated. That was their narrative. And this countered that narrative. They did not want that out there."
          Journalism's ideal is to give information that allows Americans to self-govern. But if the press only fixates on he-said she-said clickbait, then the public isn't served. Instead of simply chasing soundbites, the media should pursue facts and go where they lead. Fact: Clinton emailed her daughter saying that a group similar to al-Qaida attacked the consulate. Fact: Days later, Clinton told the family of slain Navy SEAL Ty Woods that their son died over a YouTube video. Rubio's articulation of these facts during the Rose interview shows that he is capable of going up against Clinton and giving her such a trouncing that it'd be almost sad to watch.   -The Patriot Post

Who Drops Out Next?  
There were obvious winners in Wednesday night's debate, and there were also clear losers. So which candidate(s) will drop out next? Several are struggling to gain traction and may not have a path forward. For starters, the entire slate of "undercard" debate participants have little rationale to continue. Bobby Jindal, Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum and George Pataki aren't going to launch out of the bottom tier by remaining stuck in the Happy Hour debates. But there are also some on the prime time stage who should probably pack it in. Mike Huckabee is a swell guy you'd love to chat with over barbecue at the church potluck, but he spends far too much debate time on folksy metaphors like that one and just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Rand Paul seems to have missed his moment. In 2012, the GOP was perhaps ready for a commander in chief as cautious as Paul on foreign policy, but not in 2015 as the nObama/Clinton model of appeasement diplomacy and "smart power" has the world on fire (and not from global warming). Paul is a major asset in the Senate, too, and he can serve the nation well by staying put. John Kasich is stagnant, and his angry-man shtick isn't going to help. Other than the fact (which he repeatedly made clear Wednesday night) that he's from Ohio, there's not much keeping a moralizing moderate like him afloat.
          The big one, however, is Jeb Bush. The establishment favorite has never managed to convince a growing number of voters that a third Bush White House, or a second Clinton vs. Bush race, is in the nation's best interest. Besides, "I've got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them," he complained recently. "That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that." And after his spectacular failure of an attack on Marco Rubio at the debate, there's a growing sense that maybe Bush ought to find some of those other "really cool things" to do.
          The first debate's casualty was Rick PerryScott Walker exited after the second. We're willing to bet one or more of the aforementioned candidates won't be on stage for the next one.  -The Patriot Post

 The Fraudable Care Act  
nObamaCare is not healthy. Saddled with side effects from fraud to canceled plans, the sickening reality is that government-driven health care delivers higher costs, more uncertainty and the potential to put insurance plans in a death spiral.
          Undercover investigators from the Government Accountability Office created 18 false identities and successfully received subsidized coverage or Medicaid for all but one of them. This, despite the use of nonexistent Social Security numbers, fake birth certificates and other false documentation. Seto Bagdoyan, director of forensic audits at GAO, reported that “eligibility determination and enrollment process remains vulnerable to fraud.” One fictitious applicant not only received subsidized coverage from the federal marketplace, but also two state exchanges at the same time. Officials told Bagdoyan “there is no current process to identify individuals with multiple enrollments through different marketplaces.” What’s especially troubling is that the GAO discovered similar vulnerabilities to fraud during its 2013-14 investigation.
          Duplicate coverage drives up the cost, as some people received subsidies for private insurance while enrolled in Medicaid. In addition, states incorrectly qualified some people for Medicaid despite their income exceeding the required income levels.
          While one of the GAO’s fictitious applicants received three insurance policies, other real-life Americans are in round three of enrolling after losing their health insurance plans not once, but twice. Nine out of 23 co-ops set up to enroll people in nObamaCare have died and 11 more are on life support, causing families to switch plans again. National Review reports  -The Patriot Post

 Benghazi committee gets classified White House records  
{SARAH WESTWOOD} ~ White House officials delivered a batch of new documents to the House Select Committee on Benghazi Wednesday in response to a request the committee had filed almost a year ago... The documents, which were classified at varying levels, dealt with the military's response to the 2012 terror attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi. "The Select Committee on Benghazi is writing the final, definitive accounting on the terrorist attacks that left four of our fellow Americans dead," said Jamal Ware, spokesman for committee Republicans. "This production of new documents will help inform this effort, as the committee compiles the most comprehensive set of facts related to the attacks — a process that has been slowed by the administration's delays and ongoing failure to comply with outstanding requests."        http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/benghazi-committee-gets-classified-white-house-records/article/2575177

 Cruz accuses McCon-nell of working for Dems  
{SUSAN FERRECHIO} ~ Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican presidential candidate, conducted a 90-minute takedown late Thursday of his own Majority Leader, Mitch McCon-nell... who he characterized by name as a weak leader unwilling to fight for conservative causes. Cruz, a Tea Party conservative, frequently bucks Senate GOP leaders and has on at least one other occasion criticized McCon-nell in a Senate floor speech. But late Thursday, he took on McCon-nell with renewed antipathy, using pie charts to demonstrate that the Kentucky Republican has bolstered the Democratic agenda rather than conservative goals during his ten-month tenure.

 nObama’s Attack On Alaska And American Energy...  
{rickwells.us} ~ The ultimate objective and the purpose for the placement of the anti-American foreigner Hussein nObama into the White House is the destruction of the United States... Energy is the life blood of our nation, so it naturally follows that a major component of nObama’s targeting of the United States will and has involved the goal to “degrade and ultimately destroy” our ability to produce energy. America is wealthy beyond imagination, with all of the resources we need to once again be the envy of the world. Instead of being allowed to prosper, we’re being told to accept our demise, to become comfortable with our new third world standard of living, and to develop a taste for the bitter hemlock that is now served where we used to enjoy milk and honey. Unfortunately, many AINOs,”Americans in Name Only,” for lack of a better term, those cursed with the mental disorder of liberalism, totally embrace their newly dictated and wholly unnecessary fate. We are facing a multi-front attack by the criminal nObama Syndicate, with two primary prongs on energy which play complimentary roles in our destruction. We are forced onto expensive, subsidized and impractical false energy, the supposed green energy fraud that is not a viable source of power for our nation on the one hand, while our plentiful, low cost available energy is restricted from development.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21603

 Liz Cheney on Troops Going to Syria: ‘It’s No Longer News’...  
{freebeacon.com} ~ Fox News contributor Liz Cheney said Sunday it should come as no surprise that President nObama had gone against earlier pledges by sending American troops to Syria, saying “it’s no longer news” when he contradicts himself... The announcement came Friday that the U.S. would deploy special operations forces to Syria to help in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist group, after nObama had promised repeatedly that he would never put boots on the ground in the war-torn nation. “It’s no longer news that the president has done something that directly contradicts statements he made previously,” Cheney said. “It happens on such a regular basis. The bottom line here is we’ve got a militant Islamic terrorist organization that has established a caliphate in the heart of the Middle East. It is a clear and direct threat to the United States of America. They have to be defeated, and they’ve got to be defeated by force.”       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/liz-cheney-on-troops-going-to-syria-its-no-longer-news-when-obama-contradicts-himself/

 Hilly and nObama’s Lies on Benghazi — Too Many to Count...  
{Deroy Murdock} ~ People died. Hillary lied. nObama lied, too. They lied early. They lied often. They lied deliberately. They lied about the slaughter of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, at the hands of al-Qaeda-tied terrorists... They lied, but not to protect vital national secrets or flummox America’s enemies. They lied to get reelected. And they lied directly, knowingly, and repeatedly to the American people. Hilly and nObama buried the truth beneath an Oriental rug of lies. It covered up painful facts, lest they contradict the comforting campaign theme that nObama unveiled at the Democrat National Convention just five days before Benghazi: “al-Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead.” And it worked! The truth about Benghazi, what Hilly and nObama knew, and when they knew it, remained obscured until last week. This helped nObama win the White House in November 2012, and put Hilly in a comfortable position from which to run as his successor.        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/hillary-clinton-and-obamas-lies-on-benghazi-too-many-to-count-but-lets-try/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email110215&utm_medium=email

 Feds Fail to Deport 179,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens  
{Rick Moran} ~ A report by the Department of Homeland Security says that more than 179,000 criminal illegal aliens eligible to be deported are still in the U.S. and immigration officials admit they don’t know where they are... The report was delivered to the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration. As it turns out, there are nearly a million illegals who have been issued deportation orders who have not been sent home. The level of criminal behavior by immigrants — both legal and illegal — has become a key part of the current political debate over immigration, border fencing and birthright citizenship. But the federal government does not have any way of tracking the overall criminal behavior of immigrants, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency that detains and deports illegal immigrants, admitted in the information provided to the Senate

 It’s mad to forgo missile defense  
{Frederick W. Kagan} ~ American thinking about missile defense has been incoherent from the very beginning. The issue is superficially simple: the Soviet Union threatened the American people with nuclear missiles, so the U.S. should naturally have tried to defend them against those missiles... Missile defense is among the most unequivocally defensive military systems one can imagine. It cannot be used for attack. Yet the U.S. signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviets and has refrained from serious efforts to build and deploy large-scale missile defense ever since. This policy never made sense and now makes even less. The proliferation of long-range precision missiles that can strike the U.S. and our allies with either nuclear or conventional warheads requires that America develop and field effective missile defense against all likely foes. Objections to missile defense have always been based on the belief that it would be de-stabilizing. The U.S. persuaded itself that the most effective way to prevent nuclear war with the U.S.S.R. was through “mutual assured destruction” or MAD, under which stability in a nuclear world required the nuclear states to know that all would be destroyed if any started a war. The Soviets, interestingly, did not accept this view and strove instead to achieve nuclear predominance. They feared that American technological advantages would allow the U.S. to field an effective defensive system, however, that would nullify their growing lead in missiles and warheads. So they lent their propaganda resources eagerly to the fight against the Strategic Defense Initiative pursued by Ronald Reagan, with a large measure of success.        http://www.aei.org/publication/its-mad-to-forgo-missile-defense/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=110215

 Monica Crowley on Today's Totalitarian Left  
{Mark Tapson} ~ On the Fox show Outnumbered Thursday, Newt Gingrich referred to liberals as “the totalitarian Left.” That same day, on Fox Business’s Varney & Co, political commentator Monica Crowley remarked that the Democrats of today, seeking a fundamental transformation of America, are not the classical liberals of the past... Gingrich’s description of the Left’s totalitarianism dovetails directly into Crowley’s, since that fundamental transformation is a total one that necessarily must be coerced. Both their comments echo what the Horowitz Freedom Center has been declaring for twenty years: that “inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” With a few exceptions, such as Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and House members like Louis Gohmert, most Republicans simply don't understand what they’re up against. They don't understand – or they don't want to understand – that the Democrats of today are not the Democrats of the past.

 Will our leaders understand that it's Morning in America for jihadists?  
{Pete Hoekstra} ~ Jihadists awoke to a new dawn on the day that the nObama administration began implementing a new and uncharted foreign policy seven years ago... In his 2009 inaugural speech the new president declared that America “will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist” when discussing “those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent.” The result? Today Egypt is rebuilding its government following the disastrous Islamist Muslim Brotherhood regime. Libya is a malignant tumor in north Africa that spreads the cancer of weapons, training and ideology throughout the broader region. Syria and Iraq are nearly ungovernable with ISIS on its murderous rampage. Israel is under siege by Palestinian terrorists. This is not to say that nObama and his advisors caused the chaos by themselves, yet the common thread starts from when it fundamentally reversed longstanding bipartisan U.S. foreign policy. For the first time in decades, the government embraced such bad actors as the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and Hamas – jihadist groups with American blood on their hands – without prejudice.       http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/11/02/when-will-our-leaders-understand-that-its-morning-in-america-for-jihadists.html

     The early signs from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, are that most of them won't. Last week, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, who supported the Iran deal despite being heavily courted by AIPAC to oppose it, was a featured speaker at a luncheon organized by AIPAC members in the real-estate industry.
.
     A spokesman for Coons confirmed the senator attended the AIPAC event. "I think even those who disagree with his decision on the nuclear agreement recognize that he remains a strong friend of Israel and the pro-Israel community," the spokesman, Sean Coit, said.
.
     Luncheons like those Coons attended in New York are one of the perks for pro-Israel lawmakers. The AIPAC members who attend these affairs have deep pockets and often contribute to both parties. The fact that Coons was featured as a speaker signals that in some cases AIPAC is willing to forget the Iran vote and focus on keeping its friends inside the Democratic party instead of going to war with them.
.
     Steve Rabinowitz, a Democratic political operative and former Clinton White House staffer, told me he was pleased AIPAC invited Coons to speak.
.
     "We're all waiting to see what the dynamics are going to be since the Iran deal vote and where AIPAC, congressional Republicans and the Israeli foreign ministry are each going to come down. I think this is great sign from AIPAC," he said.
.
     Following AIPAC's defeat last month in the fight over the Iran deal, the organization has internally debated how and whether its members will restore deterrence in Congress, according to sources familiar with these discussions who asked to be anonymous. 42 Democrats ended up opposing AIPAC in the Senate, enough to block a vote on a resolution to disapprove the Iran nuclear deal. Thus far AIPAC has not yet signaled the political repercussions for them. One Jewish community leader told me there may be one or two Democrats who are targeted to send a message, but most Democrats who voted for the deal will be welcomed back into the pro-Israel fold.
.
     Steve Rosen, a former foreign policy director for AIPAC, told me his former organization will be inclined to work with Democrats rather than turn them into enemies. "There is no question AIPAC lay leaders will in the future be holding fundraisers for Democrats who voted for the Iran deal," he said, adding it was not practical for AIPAC to boycott the 42 Democratic senators who supported the president's Iran deal.
.
     "When you have guys like Coons with a long pro-Israel voting record, AIPAC will continue to work with them," Rosen said.
.
     But there is another reason AIPAC cannot afford to punish too many Democrats for their Iran votes. The lobby's core mission is to protect and enhance the U.S.-Israel relationship. You can't do that if all your friends in Washington belong to one political party, particularly when the president belongs to the other one.

Will Putin Seek Nuclear Revenge Against ISIS?

THIS ARTICLE JUST GOT ME BANNED FROM FB FOR 2 WEEKS...I MUST BE DIRECTLY OVER THE TARGET!!

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

tac-1.jpg?width=231Considering the situation in Syria right now, as Russia continues to bomb ISIS command and control locations, such as they are, by bombing those who Obama has been arming, there seems to be a rather pressing question on the minds of those who are watching the escalation closely…

Will Putin launch a tactical nuclear strike against ISIS in response to the claims BY ISIS that they were responsible for shooting down a Russian passenger jet killing all 224 on board?

First, we need to examine what we know regarding the cause of the crash and right now, the reports are all over the board. ISIS claims that they brought it down and even released a video purportedly showing the Russian plane as a fireball in the sky. Egypt says ISIS didn’t do it and says there is no proof that the plane broke apart in the air. The Pentagon claims they know as FACT that ISIS didn’t bring down the Russian airliner with either a missile or anti-aircraft fire but that there WAS an explosion, picked up by satellite intel and that terrorism could not be ruled out.

Russia is heavily leaning toward the ISIS claim however, not even they seem quite ready to specify the exact means by which it was done.

To be clear…

 TAKE FIVE:  TOUGH BATTLES, NORTH AND SOUTH   In the latest edition of “Power Play with Chris Stirewalt” Republican strategist Sean Noble shares his picks of the top five GOP-held seats Democrats are trying to turn blue and win control of the Senate. Illinois and Wisconsin top Noble’s list, followed by Florida, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Wisconsin’s Republican Sen. Ron Johnson faces a tough climb given the state’s presidential year voting trends, but Noble says don’t surrender the cheese yet: the problem for Democrats he says is that Russ Feingold has lost before. And ranking Florida high in his list, Noble forecasts a tight, high-dollar race in which the Republican candidate might get a boost if Marco Rubio is the GOP’s national nominee. WATCH HERE.

 House Moves to Impeach IRS Chief   
The House Oversight Committee introduced a resolution Tuesday seeking the impeachment of IRS chief John Koskinen. But given how the rest of the Republicans' attempts at checking the nObama administration's waste and corruption turned out, don't expect much from this resolution. The impeachment attempt comes after the Department of Justice declined to prosecute IRS official Lois Lerner for her hand in the targeting of conservative nonprofits before the 2012 elections. It also comes after the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to Barack nObama asking him to fire his IRS commissioner in July.
          All throughout Congress' investigation into the allegations that the IRS targeted conservative groups, Koskinen stonewalled and mislead during hearings. Under his watch, Lerner's hard drive was destroyed two weeks after Congress issued a preservation order. Koskinen said his agency expended time and energy looking for the documents but "no emails could be retrieved." The IRS' inspector general found backups 15 days after his office started looking for them. "Commissioner Koskinen violated the public trust," said Jason Chaffetz, the oversight committee's chairman. "[Impeachment] will demonstrate to the American people that the IRS is under repair, and signal that Executive Branch officials who violate the public trust will be held accountable."
          "If the intent is, as Chaffetz says, to restore confidence in the IRS, you know how you do that?" commentator Charles Krauthammer asked. "You win the White House, you appoint a new IRS commissioner and then you get an uncompromised DOJ to go in and to prosecute Lois Lerner."

 nObama cancels oil and natural-gas lease sales in the Arctic...  
{PAMELA GELLER} ~ This story is related to this eye-opening piece about how Moscow is using nObama’s disastrous post-American foreign policy to batter American credibility abroad... nObama has presided over a decline in American power and prestige that could not have been anything but deliberate. I warned that this was coming in my book about nObama, The Post-American Presidency: The nObama Administration’s War On America: nObama subscribes to the far-left idea that the problem with the world is America as a superpower, and that if America were weakened politically, militarily, and economically, the world would be at peace. He has pursued that vision throughout his presidency. We will be paying for it for generations to come. Last Friday, President nObama’s Interior Department announced it was canceling plans for offshore oil and natural-gas lease sales in the Arctic it had scheduled to hold in 2016 and 2017, and denied requests from two oil companies (Royal Dutch Shell and Statoil) to retain their drilling rights there, which begin to expire in 2017. In making its decision, the Interior Department cited low oil prices and a lack of company interest, despite the phenomenal amount ($2.1 billion) that Shell paid for its lease in 2008 and the $7-plus billion it has invested in the area.       http://pamelageller.com/2015/10/obama-cancels-oil-and-natural-gas-lease-sales-in-the-arctic-cedes-arctic-to-putin.html/

 Muslim Blood and Al-Aqsa  
{Bassam Tawil} ~ According to a hadith attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.A.S), "One drop of faithful Muslim blood is more valuable than the entire Kaaba."... However, as far as the Palestinian national religious leadership is concerned, the words are meaningless. In their unclean hands and with their perverted agenda, Muslim blood has become a political pawn in the game of "attack the Jews." The recent bloodshed in the Palestinian territory and inside Israel, particularly Jerusalem, based on the claim that "Al-Aqsa mosque is in danger" -- and the fatal stabbings of Jews by knife-wielding Palestinians -- are cruel examples of how Hamas and the Islamic Movement's clerics distort the words of Allah (S.W.A.T.) and the Prophet, and present Islam as a hideous religion bent on murder and paganism. They seem to care more about the stones of Al-Aqsa mosque than about the lives of faithful Muslims. Under cover of the slogan "Al-Aqsa mosque is in danger," the Palestinian Authority (PA), Hamas and PLO leaders, as well as Israeli Arab Knesset members and the Islamic Movement in Israel, send innocent young Palestinians to murder Jews at a time when we all know perfectly well that Al-Aqsa mosque is not danger. Ironically -- I am ashamed to admit it -- thanks to the Israel Police, Al-Aqsa is the safest mosque in the Middle East.        http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6756/muslim-blood-aqsa

 Debunking the Media lies about Hilly's Benghazi Video Lie  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ In one of best moments during the Wednesday debate Marco Rubio criticized the mainstream media for declaring former Secretary of State Clinton totally debunked the “charges” against her about Benghazi... despite the fact that Ms. Clinton was shown to have lied about the lousy YouTube video supposedly being the cause of the attack. But the Media is pushing back. According to the MSM it doesn’t matter that in the immediate aftermath of the attack Clinton told the leaders of Libya and Egypt, along with her daughter that the event in Benghazi was a terror attack while she told the U.S. voters and more importantly the families of the four people who were killed that it was a spontaneous riot because of a blasphemous anti-Muslim video. They contend that there was much confusion at the time and Hilly’s Benghazi lies were what she actually believed at the time. Allow me to suggest that if any of those reporters, columnist removed their heads from the former First Lady’s pooper and research the available information they would be agreeing that a liar like Ms. Clinton has forfeited any chance if moving back to the White House.

 FBI Director Comey Doesn’t Cave To nObama Pressure...  
{rickwells.us} ~ FBI Director Jim Comey was supposed to cower, to himself become a tool in the nObama war on cops, to allow himself to be intimidated into betraying who he is as so many others willingly do in the interest of advancing their careers and positions... Comey isn’t like that; nObama may have misjudged him and in doing so made a critical error. He placed a man of character into a leadership position and now he’s having a difficult time pulling the reins in the direction of the anti-cops agenda. To make matter worse, Comey’s also not wearing his nObamablinders. He’s interacting with law enforcement, firsthand. As the Washington Post reported, when Hussein nObama nominated Comey as FBI Director, he commented, “To know Jim Comey is also to know his fierce independence and his deep integrity.” Unfortunately for the usurper in the White House, those were not the usual empty claims.        http://rickwells.us/archives/21555

 Judge Jeanie Pirro On nObama’s Reversal In Syria...  
{rickwells.us} ~ In her open Judge Pirro details the long list of dithering failures by Hussein nObama in the Middle East with a focus on Syria... leading off with a clip of him assuring the American people two years ago that there would be no American boots on the ground, that any action would be limited in both time and scope. In the interest of and out of a respect for reporting the truth, Judge Pirro then declares, “Mr. ‘president,’ you don’t know what you’re doing.” At a minimum he’s an idiot, she’s right, but it’s completely plausible that he knows exactly what he’s doing, that his intentions are to create as much chaos, turmoil, loss of life and respect for America in the Middle East as possible. Sort of an Arab version of what he’s done her inside the country.

 US to allocate $100 million more to “moderate” Syrian opposition  
{Robert Spencer} ~ This moderate Syrian opposition is made up of Islamic jihadists. Former Defense Intelligence Agency director Michael Flynn recently confirmed that the nObama Administration knowingly decided to support al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, and directly enabled the rise of the Islamic State... The rebels are not by any stretch of the imagination “moderates”: they’re pro-Sharia Islamic jihad terrorists. Remember, the nObama Administration spent $500 million to find and train “moderates” in Syria, and could only come up with fifty trainees. Thats our tax money, folks. We are paying them to kill us.        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/10/us-to-allocate-100-million-more-to-moderate-syrian-opposition

 Latest Version of the F-16 Takes Flight  
{Stephen Gutowski} ~ The latest update to the F-16 Fighting Falcon took to the skies earlier this month in a successful test flight... The F-16V “Viper” features a brand new radar system and the ability to detect stealth aircraft, Popular Mechanics reports. The new iteration employs Northrop Grumman’s Scalable Agile Beam Radar which provides increased threat detection and situational awareness. The 4th generation F-16V will also carry a SNIPER pod which will improve its air-to-ground and air-to-air targeting capabilities. Northrop Grumman produced an instructional video on how to swap out the radar systems as well as shoot down multiple Russian SU-27s.

 Hilly’s newest e-mail problem  
{Jennifer Rubin} ~ Hilly Clinton would like the final word on Benghazi and her e-mail scandal to be the House Select Committee on Benghazi hearing where her fortitude and Republicans’ ineptitude were on full display. It will not be... We know that it is legally irrelevant whether the e-mails were marked classified. If they contained classified material which she did not handle properly she could be in legal jeopardy. That is why the FBI will actually have the last word on the e-mails. There is more fodder for Clinton’s critics in this latest tranche of e-mails. More damning is what the e-mails reveal again.        https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2015/10/30/hillarys-newest-e-mail-problem/

 Gingrich: ‘One To Three’ Odds Hilly Clinton Will Be Indicted  
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has never been one to mince words, and what he recently predicted about former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton... during an interview on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” sent a strong signal to moderate and independent voters. While Clinton’s hardcore fan base praised her for making it through the grueling, 11-hour hearing at the hands of the bipartisan House Select Committee on Benghazi, it didn’t take long for an intelligent person to realize that Clinton denied hundreds of requests for extra security from the murdered ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens. “I think there are two phases here, Hilly Clinton will be the nominee unless she’s indicted,” Gingrich said. “The odds are about one to three she’ll be indicted, at which point there’ll be an enormous vacuum in the Democratic Party.” Gingrich explained that it wouldn’t take much of a chain reaction to scare moderate and independent voters away from voting for Clinton come Election Day.        http://dailycaller.com/2015/10/29/gingrich-one-to-three-odds-hillary-clinton-will-be-indicted/

 Will Iran Walk Away from Nuclear Deal?  
{Lawrence A. Franklin} ~ The world powers are now experiencQHO8_j-1PjhIeZqEcI8nfbdGozQEsRdniyOAe2sMjdgni6qBleMh09o1xVLDc941GVPNIskiw5BqeDQ5kTO46-vz8RfP_X4SRJSm=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=ing what it means to negotiate with Persian theocrats. All is negotiable; nothing is ever finally decided. Words never commit one to action... Changing circumstances vitiate the substance of any prior commitment, leaving the door open to additional demands. Although the Islamic Republic insists that it be recognized as a normal member of the international community, it will continue to behave as if it is not bound by global norms. Despite Iran's apparent acceptance of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA}, known as the "Iran Deal," after the document's submission to the relevant state bureaucracies, these institutions have agreed to it only on a conditional basis. The JCPOA was approved by Iran's Consultative Assembly (Majlis), the Council of Guardians, the Supreme National Security Council and by the Office of the Leader. These seeming approvals can tempt those who desire the implementation of the nuclear deal to assume falsely that the bellicose rhetoric of Iran's leaders and the continued opposition to the JCPOA are just face-saving turns of phrase. This same shallow mode of thinking assumes that last week's launch of an experimental ballistic missile by Iran was a bone thrown in the direction of hardliners who oppose the nuclear deal. Iran's leaders seem to have calculated that the missile test would not invite a reassessment by the P5+1 signatories, despite the fact that the launch was a clear violation of the JCPOA. Iran's leaders were proven correct: both Russia and China refused to condemn the missile test at the United Nations.

When some scientists point out there has been no global warming for the last twenty years in spite of ever-increasing carbon emissions, they should be prosecuted as climate change deniers. You have to believe hanoi-John Kerry and Barack nObama when they claim global warming is a bigger threat than radical Islam.

You have to believe that homosexuality is natural, but sex roles are artificial. You must declare that homosexuals are born that way, but men and women are not. Counseling for homosexuals who wish to overcome attraction to others of the same sex must be made illegal everywhere, not just in California, Oregon and New Jersey, but taxpayers must pay for surgery and hormone treatments in attempts to turn men into women and women into men.

 'What Is Your Biggest Weakness?'  
"What is your biggest weakness and what are you doing to address it?" That was the first of many hostile, biased, personally insulting and just plain stupid questions the 11 Republican candidates fielded from the moderators in the debate last night. Has there ever been a debate in which the moderators behaved so poorly?
          Indeed, CNBC's Carl Quintanilla's opening question could be turned around on the moderators. He, Becky Quick and John Harwood didn't even attempt to conceal their contempt for the candidates on stage, and they ended up making themselves the story. Perhaps that's to be expected when, for the last 30 years, conservatives have increasing cried "foul" on Left media bias, and the general public no longer trusts the press. The moderators seemed to have concluded they needn't bother feigning objectivity, opting to move on with their Democrat activism. No wonder the audience booed them.
          On the flip side, the moderators' petulant bias prompted some great moments from the candidates who rejected the premise of the questions and turned their fire toward Democrats. Three candidates did particularly well in this department: Chris Christie, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
          Right off the bat, Christie parried the "weakness" question by pointing to Democrats. "I don't see a lot of weakness on this stage, quite frankly," he said. "Where I see the weakness is in those three people that are left on the Democratic stage. You know, I see a socialist, an isolationist and a pessimist. And for the sake of me, I can't figure out which one is which."  -The Patriot Post

 House Elects Ryan as Next Speaker  
By 10:35 this morning, enough House members voted for Rep. Paul Ryan in a roll call vote that his rise to speakership was sure. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers made Ryan's nomination to the chamber, calling him, in the words of the Washington Times a "budget whiz." The day before, 200 House Republicans nominated Ryan to lead their fractured caucus. Ryan needs 218 votes in the House to become the chamber's 54th speaker. "This begins a new day in the House of Representatives," Ryan said after his nomination. "Tomorrow, we are turning the page. We are not going to have a House that looked like it looked the last few years." Criticisms of Ryan began to fly even before he was nominated. In his last moves as speaker, backstabber-John Boehner negotiated with the nObama administration a budget that will keep the government running until March 2017. And while Ryan criticized backstabber-Boehner's methodology — it's "not the way to do the people's business," he said — he ultimately supported backstabber-Boehner's budget. We just hope this isn't a sign that the 'clean slate' Ryan is inheriting will soon have backstabber-'Boehner Jr.' written all over it. For the present, we can give Ryan time to unpack his desk and figure out his leadership style. Let's not label him the enemy of Liberty before he's even taken up the gavel.   -The Patriot Post

 Mixed Bag in Tepid GDP Growth  
The rate at which the nation's gross domestic product grew in the third quarter failed to reach even pessimistic estimates made ahead of the Commerce Department's announcement. Economists predicated the economy would grow only 1.6% from July to September. Instead, the economy grew an anemic 1.5%. Contrast this with the second quarter, where GDP grew at a 3.9% rate.
          Yet while the GDP number sounds dismal, other economic indicators have economists thinking the economy has signs of life. "Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, grew at a 3.2 percent rate after expanding at a 3.6 percent pace in the second quarter," Reuters reported. For example, Market Watch said Americans are spending more on new vehicles, indicating some confidence in the economy. Furthermore, the dollar remains strong and inflation is low. The reason why GDP underperformed was because large companies paused in creating products to export. It could indicate a slowdown of the wider economy, as Americans get up on their feet, but the world out there contains unrest.
          No word yet on how the Federal Reserve will take the news. This week, it decided once again not to raise interest rates, pushing off that decision until December. "Chair Janet Yellen and other members keep saying that it will soon be time to move, but each time as the date approaches they find another reason not to move," The Wall Street Journal opined. "Perhaps they're afraid of taking responsibility for the consequences of raising rates if the economy turns south. At least if they stay at zero the Fed won't be blamed for having done nothing."   -The Patriot Post

 It's Time To Take Less Interest in School Tests  
The National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal standardized test that has measured student performance since 1990, recorded a drop in students' academic ability this year. The "Nation's Report Card" found, "The 2015 average [mathematics] scores were 1 and 2 points lower in grades 4 and 8, respectively, than the average scores in 2013." Thanks, nObama. Seriously — Common Core is part of the problem here, as the educational change disrupted students and teachers alike. But it's not just about test scores, it's that kids in public schools are learning less and less while we spend more and more. Democrat solution: Spend even more money. Every. Time. They also cut vital classes such as shop and home economics and replaced them with a drive to send every graduate to college.
         The problem with tests was not lost on Barack nObama Saturday, when he called for schools to reduce the number of tests students take because it ultimately cuts into the amount of time students have to learn. "I hear from parents who rightly worry about too much testing," nObama said, "and from teachers who feel so much pressure to teach to a test that it takes the joy out of teaching and learning both for them and for the students. I want to fix that." It's a noble gesture, but this large, centralized government uses tests to make many decisions about education policy, such as determining teacher performance. Unfortunately, they aren't going away anytime soon.   -The Patriot Post

 Israeli Minister Meets Russian FM to Lay Out Israel’s Red Lines  
{algemeiner.com} ~ Israel’s Minister of Immigrant Absorption, Strategic Affairs and Jerusalem Affairs Ze’ev Elkin laid out Israel’s red lines in Syria in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow on Thursday, Israeli nrg news reported... The Israeli minister, according to the report, relayed to Lavrov Israel’s three main concerns: preventing the flow of weapons to the terrorist group Hezbollah, maintaining a quiet border in the Golan Heights and upholding the ban on the use of chemical weapons. While the meeting was scheduled in advance to discuss economic issues, ultimately it ended up happening a day before Russia headed to international talks on the Syrian war on Friday and Saturday.  The Israelis used Elkin’s trip as a chance to lay out their concerns.

 "Liberal" Justices Creating Rights, Leading U.S. to "Destruction"  
{Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.} ~ Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia told a crowd at Santa Clara University that the “liberal” Supreme Court was causing the “destruction of our democratic system,” the SF Gate reported on October 29... According to the outspoken associate justice, his colleagues on the high court are creating rights ex nihilo and claiming the Constitution protects those new rights. Scalia identified the adoption of the concept of the “living Constitution” as the first step down a “slippery slope.” At the end of that slope, Scalia said, was “the right to same-sex marriage.” He even questioned whether the Constitution ever would have been ratified had the Founders known that the document they drafted would have become “whatever a majority of the Supreme Court says it is.” Rather than conforming the case to the Constitution, a majority of the justices conform the Constitution to the case, voting, Scalia says, “on the basis of what they feel.”       http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/21860-scalia-liberal-justices-creating-rights-leading-us-to-destruction?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Scalia%3A%20Liberal%26nbsp%3BJustices%20Creating%20Rights%2C%20Leading%20U%2ES%2E%20to%20Destruction&utm_campaign=SPLC%20Unhinged%3A%20Almost%20Everyone%20Is%20a%20%E2%80%9CConspiracy%20Theorist%E2%80%9Dcontent

SPLC Unhinged: Almost Everyone Is a “Conspiracy Theorist”  
{Alex Newman} ~ Quick, do something! There are John Birch Society types ready to spread “conspiracy theories” from the “margins” into the “mainstream,” and they seem to be hiding under practically every bed in America!... At least that's the impression given in a new “intelligence report” by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization whose slanderous vitriol against conservatives and Christians was recently implicated in federal court in a recent terrorism case. In its report the SPLC reputedly aims to expose false conspiracy theories that are being churned out by right-wing radicals. But, ironically, while expressing outrage over “conspiracy theories” on the “right,” the SPLC report sounded like an expanded version of Hilly Clinton's bizarre conspiracy theory about a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” To hear the SPLC tell it, practically everyone in America to the right of nObama is participating in a giant conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories. For what purpose is never explained, although apparently it is all very bad for “democracy.” Though the SPLC clings to a mantle of respectability given to it for claiming to right wrongs, the mainstream American Family Association has labeled the SPLC an “anti-Christian hate group.” Meawhile civil rights attorney and Southern Center for Human Rights President Stephen Bright, echoing investigations and a federal judge, blasted SPLC founder Morris Dees as a "con man and fraud" who exploits naive poor people to enrich himself. In keeping with critics' accusations against the SPLC, the intelligence report reads like it's based on either a fevered imagination or blatant deception, driven by hate against those with whom it disagrees. So far, though, the report has been largely ignored.         http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/21862-splc-unhinged-almost-everyone-is-a-conspiracy-theorist?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=SPLC%20Unhinged%3A%20Almost%20Everyone%20Is%20a%20%26ldquo%3BConspiracy%20Theorist%26rdquo%3B&utm_campaign=SPLC%20Unhinged%3A%20Almost%20Everyone%20Is%20a%20%E2%80%9CConspiracy%20Theorist%E2%80%9Dcontent

 Al Qaeda Calling the Shots at Gitmo  
{totalconservative.com} ~ According to Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, the terrorists responsible for planning September 11th are calling the shots at their place of imprisonment: Guantanamo Bay... After visiting the prison last week, Ayotte was stunned to learn that female soldiers are not allowed to transport inmates because it offends the murderous Muslims. “We have a situation down there where we met with women guards who are being prevented from fully performing their mission because the five 9/11 attackers who are charged with killing 3,000 Americans will not allow them to perform their duties because they’re women,” Ayotte said at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday. “It’s outrageous,” said Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Joseph Dunford. But he admitted there was little he could do about it. “That’s being worked by lawyers, it’s an injunction. I’m not using that as an excuse, but that’s where it is right now.” He’s right. The situation is what it is because the Gitmo terrorists complained that it was insulting to their faith to have to follow women around the prison. These complaints led Army Col. James Pohl, a military judge, to issue an order prohibiting female guards from transporting the men to and from their legal proceedings.

 Enough Of The nObama Lies And Manipulation –  We’re Under Attack  
{rickwells.us} ~ I deviated a little, more like a lot, from my normal customary written words in this video response to the ever-increasing, encroaching threat of the Marxists in power and the upcoming trip down the river they’ve got planned for us in Paris, at the Climate Con-Job confab 2015 in December...  Everything about nObama’s message is world this and global that, equating being an American to a responsibility to the rest of the world. Let’s be clear, I don’t have any responsibility to the rest of the world and this phony “president” doesn’t either – his supposedly loyalty is to the United States, not the United Nations. The points are structured around the weekly insult he delivered last week, one which, typically, was focused on his claims that we have no choice but to accept his climate lies, fall as subjects under the UN, and donate everything we have to the poor of the world, accepting our new role as slaves with the enthusiasm of a Korean Moonie.

 What’s The Hurry? Senator Sessions On Ryan’s Pelosi-Style...  
{rickwells.us} ~ It was entirely predictable that the last act of Speaker backstabber-John Boehner and the first act of Speaker Paul Ryan would be a seamless continuation of the assault on the American people; that‘s what Congress does these days... It’s also no surprise that the assault included a capitulation to the wishes of the anti-American tyrant in the White House, for the same reasons. The power of the purse is being discarded for the remainder of the Hussein nObama nightmare, as is any pretense of financial responsibility in a deal which Senator Jeff Sessions has discovered looks remarkably similar to one co-authored by Paul Ryan back in 2013.  The wolves aren’t just guarding the hen house, they’ve taken it over. It’s a complete abdication of responsibility and duty to their constituents, one which Sessions reminds his Congressional counterparts there is no need to rush to complete. He reminds them of their duty, something they seem to have forgotten, to the people of the nation. On Tuesday Sessions wrote:

 Number of Hilly Emails Marked Classified to Rise to At Least 600  
{Morgan Chalfant} ~ The count of Hilly Clinton’s work emails now deemed classified will rise to 600 or 700 when the State Department releases its next batch of emails to the public Friday... Politico reported that the latest trove of work-related emails from Clinton’s personal server contains between 200 and 300 messages now marked with the lowest classification designation. About 7,000 pages of emails will be made public in the release. State Department spokesman John Kirby said that none of the emails now marked classified “were marked classified at the time they were sent or received.” Most of the emails set for release Friday were sent or received by the former secretary of state between 2011 and 2012, save a few from 2009 and 2010 that haven’t been made public in earlier releases. The release of Clinton emails in September saw 215 messages marked classified, three of them designated “secret.”

 nObama’s Middle East Insanity And European Invasion  
{rickwells.us} ~ Hussein nObama is quite adept at delivering meaningless, inconsequential and at best symbolic actions at the worst possible times, when the exact opposite is needed... At a minimum his pathetic lack of leadership skills and probably much more intentionally inflicted shortcomings can be credited with the explosive growth of ISIS, as well as a catastrophic event soon associating itself with virtually anything his unclean hands come into contact with. Lt Col Allen West is offers his views on two issues, the decision to send fifty Special Ops forces into Syria and the Islamic invasion of Europe. He’s asked if it’s the start of something more. West notes that “There have been a lot of really dumb things that the nObama administration has done, this ranks right up there. To say that you’re going to send fifty Special Operators into Syria, a Syria where you have Russia that is operating with ground troops and also air cover, Cuba Special Operations Forces, Iranian Quds Forces and also Hezbollah, and you’re just going to send fifty Special Operators in to fight against ISIS. This is insane. And if this is part of what the nObama administration wants to do, this is mission creep.”

 Government by Intimidation:  Identifying the Real Terrorists!  
{BRADLEE DEAN} ~ As another self-incriminating video has surfaced exposing Planned Parenthood’s crimes against humanity (1 John 3:12), one has only to ask themselves, why is the Department of (In)Justice appointed to hunt down those who are filming the crimes of Planned Parenthood rather than arrest those who are committing the crimes?... There is no coercion.  The truth is coming out of the abundance of their wicked hearts (Matthew 12:34), and furthermore, “Planned Parenthood” has made their murderous position very clear through their founder Margaret Sanger. On blacks, immigrants and indigents, Sanger said that they are “…human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning….human beings who should never been born.”   http://sonsoflibertymedia.com/2015/10/government-by-intimidation-identifying-the-real-terrorists/

 Justice Kennedy to Christians: Resign or Uphold the Law  
{Paul Bois} ~ Justice Anthony Kennedy feels that if faithful Christians don't like his usurping of their rights to define marriage as between one man and one woman, then they should just quit their jobs if they happen to hold public office... In other words: "I am King, now do what I say or else."... Speaking to an audience of Harvard law school students Wednesday, Justice Kennedy was asked if public officials who disagree with same-sex marriage or abortion should comply with the law if they hold public office, to which he replied "no" and declared that those officials should quit their jobs instead. It would've been interesting to see him squirm had the question gone something like this: "Justice Kennedy, what should Christians do if their wishes to define marriage as between one man and one woman are completely usurped from them by an unelected official who thinks he can legislate from the bench?" But since his audience consisted most likely of left-wing elitists who admire Justice Kennedy for upholding abortion rights and sanctioning nationwide same-sex marriage, no such question was asked.

Doctors Agree: nObama's Electronic Medical Records Mandate Sucks!

{townhall.com} ~ Hey, who's up for a stiff dose of "See, I told you so?"
.
     For the past several years, medical professionals have warned that the federal electronic medical records mandate -- buried in the trillion-dollar nObama stimulus of 2009 -- would do more harm than good. Their diagnosis, unfortunately, is on the nose.
.
     The Quack-in-Chief peddled his tech-centric elixir as a cost-saving miracle. "This will cut waste, eliminate red tape, and reduce the need to repeat expensive medical tests," he crowed at the time. In theory, of course, modernizing record-collection is a good idea, which many private health care providers had already adopted before the Healer of All Things took office.
.
     But in the clumsy, power-grabbing hands of Washington bureaucrats, nObama's one-size-fits-all EMR regulations have morphed into what one expert called "healthcare information technology's version of cash-for-clunkers."
.
     I reported in 2012 how my own primary care physician quit her regular practice and converted to "concierge care" because of the meddlesome EMR burden. Untold numbers of docs across the country have done the same.
.
     In 2013, health care analysts at the RAND Corporation admitted that their cost-savings predictions of $81 billion a year were vastly inflated.
.
    In 2014, RAND researchers interviewed doctors who spotlighted "important negative effects" of the EMR mandate on "their professional lives and, in some troubling ways, on patient care. They described poor EHR usability that did not match clinical workflows, time-consuming data entry, interference with face-to-face patient care, and overwhelming numbers of electronic messages and alerts."
.
And the hits keep coming.
.
     Robert Wachter, author of the recently published "The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype, and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine's Computer Age," chronicled the damage he's witnessed: "Physicians retiring early. Small practices bankrupted by up-front expenses or locked into ineffective systems by the prohibitive cost of switching. Hours consumed by onerous data entry unrelated to patient care. Workflow disruptions. And above all, massive intrusions on our patient relationships."
.
     The American Medical Association, which foolishly backed nObamacare, is now balking at top-down government intrusion into their profession. Better late than never. The group launched a campaign called "Break the Red Tape" this summer to pressure D.C. to pause the new medical-record rules as an estimated 250,000 physicians face fines totaling $200 million a year for failing to comply with "meaningful use" EMR requirements.
.
     In Massachusetts last month, physicians decried the failure to achieve true "interoperability" between EMR systems despite a $30 billion federal investment through the nObama stimulus. Dr. Dennis Dimitri, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, noted at a rancor-filled town hall that the mandate has "added significant time to the daily life of most physicians in their practices," WBUR reported. "It has not necessarily lived up to expectations in terms of its ability to provide cues to physicians to make sure that necessary treatments are not being missed. It has certainly not been able to swiftly disseminate information from one clinical setting to another."
.
     That's in no small part due to the cronyism embedded in the federal stimulus "incentives" -- a massive chunk of which the White House doled out to behemoth EMR company Epic Systems, headed by nObama crony Judith Faulkner. As I've noted repeatedly in this column the past three years, Epic continues to be plagued by both industry and provider complaints about its creaky, closed-end system and exorbitant fee structure to enable the very kind of interoperability the nObama EMR mandate was supposed to ensure.
.
     Now, even left-wing Mother Jones magazine reports this week that "instead of ushering in a new age of secure and easily accessible medical files, Epic has helped create a fragmented system that leaves doctors unable to trade information across practices or hospitals. That hurts patients who can't be assured that their records -- drug allergies, test results, X-rays -- will be available to the doctors who need to see them. This is especially important for patients with lengthy and complicated health histories."
.
     The nObama White House has responded by doubling down on its destructive EMR rules that punish both patients and providers. Congress must intervene. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, introduced a bill Thursday to repeal the draconian penalties "so that providers can get back to the business they are uniquely trained to do -- utilizing their skills and knowledge to heal the sick and support the continued vitality of the healthy."
