FIORINA SAYS SHE IS WHAT A FEMINIST LOOKS LIKE
The lone woman in the Republican field, Carly Fiorina, made waves in Washington with a speech that sought to redefine feminism. “A feminist is a woman who lives the life she chooses. … A woman may choose to have five children and home-school them. She may choose to become a CEO, or run for President,” said the presidential candidate at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Fiorina’s campaign platform has largely been based on her ability to take on Hilly Clinton woman to woman, but Thursday’s address fortified her platform withdetailed ideas. As a Republican and former CEO, Fiorina seeks to marry the party’s free-market principles with a friendlier dialogue about women’s issues asexemplified by her discussion of how over-the-counter access to birth control would drive down prices without subsidies. Fiorina has a deep deficit in the polls though, with low name recognition, and many voters questioning whether a non-politician can hold the high office of president.
But she heads to friendly territory this weekend for former Massachusetts’s Gov. Mitt Romney’s E2 Summit in Utah where she will have the chance to stand out against her political counterparts with her business savvy. Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wisc., and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., both plan to address the uber-rich congregation and Rubio might as well be a counselor at Camp Mitt. But don’t count out Fiorina yet, as unlike Rubio, her momentum seems to steadily rise. -Fox News

Is that Walker-Rubio or Rubio-Walker? - Bloomberg: “Walker said both he and Rubio often hear the suggestion that they should combine forces, potentially even before the first nomination voting in Iowa in February 2016, as a way to stand out amid a crowded field…Some who have talked privately to Walker about a possible pairing with Rubio say they have been surprised by how seriously the Wisconsin governor seems to be taking the prospect…Walker said he likes governors and their executive experience better than senators as potential presidents and vice presidents, but that Rubio stands out…‘I do like Marco Rubio,’ he said. ‘I think he and I have similar thoughts on national defense and foreign policy.’” -Fox News

LAWMAKERS ADDRESS PRESSING CONCERN OF BIRD BIAS
WTOP: “Tom Wharton didn’t think twice about bringing his beloved cockatoo,Tootsie, with him on camping trips, until the duo were kicked out of two campsites following complaints about his feathered companion. Rhode Island lawmakers are considering changing the law that only allows four-legged friends likes dogs and cats to accompany their owners to campgrounds…Wharton, a regular camper, has brought his 21-year-old parrot with him on several camping trips over the years, he said. Tootsie occasionally would leave his 31-foot Airstream, he said, but she doesn’t make any noise… ‘I feel bad she has to stay home. She loves to ride in the car. I take her to music festivals,’ Wharton said.” -Fox News

HUD's 'Housing Equality' Thud
Barack nObama's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is set to release a rule aimed at fostering "diversity" in wealthy neighborhoods around the country. "HUD is working with communities across the country to fulfill the promise of equal opportunity for all," an agency spokeswoman said. "The proposed policy seeks to break down barriers to access to opportunity in communities supported by HUD funds." This diversity scheme has shades of the last time Democrats attempted to reconfigure banking to favor unqualified people. Promoters of the policy are suggesting it's fair because, if states and communities don't want to abide by nObama's decree, they can forgo the federal money they receive. That's a fair argument only if the people in those states can also choose to forgo paying taxes to the federal government. Of course, most of nObama's supporters pay no taxes. Political analyst Marc Thiessen said it best: "We as conservatives believe and diversifying communities too. The way you do that is through economic opportunity. It's not by building more affordable housing in affluent communities, it's by creating economic opportunities so that more Americans can afford housing in affluent communities. Right now the problem is that people at the bottom of the nObama economy can't get ahead." HUD's rule is nothing more than an nObama charade to ramp up class warfare and appease constituents who are enslaved on poverty plantations — the direct result of generations of failed Democrat economic policies. -The Patriot Post

Jihad on Churches
(Raymond Ibrahim) ~ On Sunday, March 15, as Christian churches around the world were celebrating morning mass, two churches in Pakistan — one Catholic, one Protestant — were attacked by Islamic suicide bombers. At least 17 people were killed and over 70 wounded... The Taliban claimed responsibility. It is believed that the group had hoped for much greater death tolls, as there were almost 2,000 people in both churches at the time of the explosions. According to eyewitnesses, two suicide bombers approached the gates of the two churches and tried to enter them. When they were stopped — in one church by a 15-year-old Christian youth who blocked them with his body — the Islamic jihadis self-detonated. Witnesses saw "body parts flying through the air." According to an official statement from the Justice and Peace Commission of the Episcopal Conference of Pakistan, despite all the threats received by the churches, authorities only provided "minimal" security. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5912/jihad-on-churches

It's Time for Israel to Stop Neglecting Cyprus
(Gal Luft) ~ It may sometimes seem the world is increasingly antagonistic toward Israel, but Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades' visit to Jerusalem this week should remind Israelis that there are still allies to be found, even in the Middle East... One of them lies a mere 200 kilometers from the beaches of Haifa. For decades, Israel has neglected Cyprus, focusing its efforts on becoming more acceptable to its Arab neighbors, as well as to Turkey, Cyprus' archenemy. But these efforts have stalled in recent years. Relations with Turkey have soured, the peace with Jordan and Egypt is more or less frozen, and the peace process with the Palestinians is nonexistent. Among all of these, it is Cyprus, Israel's only non-majority-Muslim neighbor, that provides a glimmer of hope. With only 10 percent of Israel's population and 1 percent of Turkey's, the island may seem to be of little strategic importance, but recent geopolitical and economic developments have elevated its value for Israel and vice versa, creating the conditions for a renaissance in Israel-Cyprus relations. http://www.meforum.org/5315/israel-cyprus

nObama admin prepares to cave in to another Khamenei red line
(Paul Wolfowitz) ~ Now, in an Associated Press story titled, “US finds peeling back the Iran sanctions onion no easy task,” officials are claiming that the administration “may have to backtrack on its promise that it will suspend only nuclear-related economic sanctions on Iran as part of an emerging nuclear agreement.”... This is because, in what they call the “briar patch of interwoven economic sanctions,” it is too hard to distinguish between “nuclear” sanctions and “non-nuclear” sanctions applied because of Iran’s support for terrorism, human rights violations, money laundering and ballistic missile development. According to the unnamed “officials,” the administration plans to redefine the term “nuclear sanctions,” giving it such a broad definition that there will be little left in the non-nuclear category. This is quite obviously absurd, but what seems to be going on is that the administration is preparing to yield to the Iranian demand that sanctions be lifted immediately — and this means all sanctions and not just nuclear ones. Agreeing to that would mean not only much more extensive sanctions relief — for example relief for banks that are believed to have laundered money for terrorists — but it would also make it extremely difficult to use sanctions as an instrument for constraining such activity by Iran in the future. This will only add to the considerable concerns of Iran’s neighbors that the agreement does nothing to address Iran’s non-nuclear activities. http://www.aei.org/publication/obama-administration-prepares-to-cave-into-another-khamenei-red-line/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=061515

HUGE NEWS: Barack nObama Caught in Crime “Of the Century”
(thepoliticalinsider.com) ~ President Barack nObama has shown his willingness to shred the Constitution and spy on American citizens. But he has been caught red handed in a major crime spree that I didn’t want to believe was possible... This report shows The White House not only knew about the CIA spying on the United States Senate, but they were behind the spying! This is incredible. At the time, CIA Director John Brennan had discussions with top White House Staff – including nObama’s Chief of Staff Denis McDonough – about an effort to scan hard drives of staffers used on the Senate Intelligence Committee. These staffers worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and they wanted the secret details of the investigation on interrogation techniques by the CIA. After becoming aware of the CIA’s snooping, Feinstein argued that the CIA had “likely violated the constitutional separation of powers,” according to The Huffington Post. The White House, not surprisingly, declined comment, implying that nObama’s Administration agrees and is either scrambling for a defense or simply has none. http://www.thepoliticalinsider.com/huge-news-barack-obama-caught-in-crime-of-the-century/

Occupy Wall Street Mainstreams Communism
(Matthew Vadum) ~ Though many have declared the Occupy Wall Street movement a failure, it won a major propaganda victory when it forced the phony political issue of “income inequality” into the national political debate, according to one of its leaders in a new article... The article, titled The Triumph of Occupy Wall Street, appears at the Atlantic, the home of radical leftists, market participants in the racial grievance industry, and mushy moderates. It was written by radical left-winger Michael Levitin, a co-founder of The Occupied Wall Street Journal, an OWS “affinity group.” (Its website had not been updated in 1,000 days at time of writing.) The article is a mixture of truth and bald-faced lies that slavishly defends a philosophy of failure and a movement that is based on Marxist lies, as David Horowitz and John Perazzo demonstrated in their pamphlet Occupy Wall Street: http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/matthew-vadum/occupy-wall-street-mainstreams-communism/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=0dee2518db-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-0dee2518db-156509103

New Lerner Emails…Gives DUMBEST EXCUSE For Not Releasing
(Patrick Howley) ~ The Internal Revenue Service found 6,400 more Lois Lerner emails — but they’re not handing them over in court. The IRS’ latest excuses are nothing short of infuriating... Department of Justice lawyers Geoffrey J. Klimas and Stephanie Sasarak, acting as counsel for the IRS, submitted a U.S. District Court filing June 12 in the case Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service. The court filing, provided to The Daily Caller, claims the IRS received new Lerner emails from the Treasury Department’s inspector general (TIGTA) but can’t fork over the emails to Judicial Watch, a nonprofit group suing to get the emails. Why? Because the IRS is busy making sure that none of the emails are duplicates – you know, so as not to waste anyone’s time. http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/14/irs-finds-6400-new-lois-lerner-emails-gives-dumbest-excuse-yet-for-not-releasing-themhttps://sharylattkisson.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/S."105" />

Previously Undisclosed Benghazi Emails Handed Over
(sharylattkisson.com) ~ Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime Hilly Clinton confidant, has given the House Benghazi Committee nearly 60 email exchanges regarding Libya and Benghazi... Blumenthal is scheduled to testify to the committee behind closed doors tomorrow. Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., says the emails, numbering approximately 120 pages, were produced late on Friday in response to a Committee request. “These emails were not previously produced to the Committee or released to the public, and they will help inform tomorrow’s deposition,”said Gowdy in a statement. https://sharylattkisson.com/previously-undisclosed-benghazi-emails-handed-over/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29.
Islamic State Gains Military Expertise From Ex-Soldiers
(Bill Gertz) ~ The recent defection to the Islamic State (IS) of a special operations colonel in Tajikistan and the group’s infiltration of the Malaysian military are raising new concerns that the Islamist terror group is gaining military expertise, according to U.S. officials and experts... Col. Gulmurod Khalimov, a commander of the Interior Ministry security unit known as OMON, disappeared in April and late last month surfaced in an IS video calling for jihad against Russia and the United States. Tajikistan is a former Soviet republic that is currently aligned with Russia. In Southeast Asia, authorities in Malaysia broke up an Islamic State terrorist plot in March that involved two Royal Malaysian Air Force soldiers. The arrests revealed the terrorist group has infiltrated the military and that around 70 Malaysian army personnel are believed to be supporters or sympathizers with the Islamic State, according to U.S. officials. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/islamic-state-gains-military-expertise-from-ex-soldiers/

Iran Steps Up Cyber Attacks Across the Globe
(Adam Kredo) ~ Iran has significantly stepped up efforts to launch cyber attacks and hack into the critical systems of multiple Middle East governments, including those of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and a host of other nations, according to a new report by a leading Israeli cyber security firm... Iran’s cyber operations have become increasingly sophisticated over the past year, with the Islamic Republic aiming to obtain state secrets and penetrate sensitive online systems of various governments, according to a new report by ClearSky Cyber Security. Iran has been suspected for some time of sponsoring cyber espionage attacks, with the majority being launched against Saudi Arabia and Israel. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-steps-up-cyber-attacks-across-the-globe/

Clapper Acknowledges Omissions on Iran Threat
(Emma-Jo. Morris) ~ A senior administration official acknowledged to Senate Republicans that its 2015 intelligence threat assessment failed to provide the full scope of Iran’s state sponsored terrorism... Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a letter to the Senate that the 2015 worldwide threat assessment could have been more specific about the Iranian threat to United States’ interests. He emphasized that the omissions from a general report do not mean the intelligence community is ignoring that threat. “A specific reference to the terrorist threat from Iran and Hezbollah—which was not included in any of the drafts of the testimony—would have been appropriate for the 2015 assessment, but the lack of its inclusion is in no way a change in the IC’s assessment,” Clapper said in his June 3 letter. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/clapper-acknowledges-omissions-on-iran-threat/

(jewishworldreview.com) ~ The problem with American Middle East policy during the nObama administration has always boiled down to one factor: the president and his foreign policy team prefer their fantasies about the way things should be to the cold hard reality of Palestinian rejectionism, Islamist terror, or Iran's ambitions for regional hegemony..
That hasn't worked out well for America or its allies, as the U.S. has suffered setback after setback with the collapse of revived peace negotiations that were doomed to fail, Hamas' hold on Gaza, Iran's growing power, and the rise of ISIS. But let it not be said that the president hasn't won any victories.

The case involved American citizens living in Israel who wanted the government to put down Jerusalem, Israel as their son's place of birth on his passport. Considering that this is where he was born and that U.S. law states that Jerusalem is part of Israel, there shouldn't be any problem with this request. But since, due to an awkward diplomatic dance it has been conducting since 1948, the U.S. has never recognized that Jerusalem is part of Israel, the consulate refused leading the Zivotofskys to sue and to take their case all the way to the Supreme Court.

The impact of this decision is outrageous, but it is easy to understand where the majority is coming from. The Constitution is clear that foreign policy is the prerogative of the executive branch, not Congress. One would wish the nObama administration might have equal respect for constitutional dictates that don't favor increasing its power, as it did here. But while the president feels free to ignore the Constitution when he wants to flout the will of Congress and legislate on his own by granting amnesty to millions of aliens, he is happy to hide behind the Constitution when it comes to upholding the longstanding denial that Jerusalem is Israel.

As Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito and Scalia stated in their sensible dissent in the case, it's not quite as simple as that. This area of law is, as even Justice Anthony Kennedy admitted in the majority opinion, not well defined because the body of case law is meager.

In the past, the legislative and the executive branches have largely settled any disputes without the judiciary having to intervene as the referee. But while the Constitutional principle that the president has the right to make foreign policy must be respected, the notion that he may ignore U.S. law when doing so is not well established. Just as President Reagan did not have the right to fund the Nicaragua contras during the period when Congress forbade it, it can be argued with equal force that once a law was passed and signed (though President George W. Bush said he wouldn't enforce it) that stated the U.S. recognized that Jerusalem was part of Israel, the executive did not have the ability to go on denying it.

Reversing that stand would be unpopular in the Arab and Muslim world. This fiction enables the Palestinians to go on insisting that Israel give up the portions of the city that were illegally occupied by Jordan between 1948-1967.

What's wrong with that seemingly position is that so long as the U.S. is encouraging the Palestinians to think they can have all of that portion of Israel's capital as part of that state — including mostly 40-year-old neighborhoods where hundreds of thousands of Jews live — they'll never come to terms with the fact that they are going to have to accept a compromise and leave those people in place and allow the city to remain united.

If that wasn't bad enough, nObama, more than any other president since 1967 has encouraged this delusion by treating these Jewish neighborhoods as being as offensive to him, and the Jews who live there as just as liable to be thrown out of their homes as the most remote West Bank settlement. That broke new and even more dangerous ground on the issue and made a resolution on Jerusalem even less likely to happen in the foreseeable future.
