Obama’s Deal With the Devil…Part 3 of 3

By Craig Andresen and Diane Sori  Right Side Patriots on American Patriots Broadcasting Network

odev-1.jpg?width=297In Part 1of our Investigative Report: ‘Obama’s Deal With the Devil’, we presented why we believe Obama gave the speech he did and why the San Bernardino police are acting after the fact in a way they should have acted before the fact. In Part 2 of ‘Obama’s Deal With the Devil’, we disclosed who Obama really is and why things are unfolding as they are including outing those who are not what they seem to be. And now Part 3…

On Monday, Barack HUSSEIN Obama spoke at the Pentagon to tout what he wants us to believe are successes in the fight against ISIS in Syria. “As we squeeze its heart, we’ll make it harder for ISIL to pump out its terror and propaganda”…and note his once again shout-out to the Levant.

And while Obama tried to sound reassuring, it was more apparent that he is desperate. He is desperate to regain that which he has lost…his hold over the forces of islam…a hold which existed only in his arrogance as he was never the one calling the shots, but was the one who all along has been bowing to the demands of 7th century barbarians.

 HILLY SLIDES IN BATTLEGROUND POLL ON SYRIA,  FBI PROBE 
The pro-GOP group American Crossroads’ monthly battleground state poll, conducted by Vox Populi, shows a five-point dive in support for Hilly Clinton against a generic Republican opponent since last month’s poll. Clinton’s stance on accepting Syrian refugees, and her ongoing FBI investigation made over half of respondents less likely to vote for her. In a head-to-head faceoff, Clinton sits at 35 percent to her Republican challenger’s 54 percent, a 19-point deficit compared to a 12-point deficit in the November matchup. The poll also saw a 2-point uptick in Clinton’s unfavorable rating, which now sits at 57-percent. See the full results here.
          [Hilly Clinton’s campaign talked up her aggressive ad in favor of gun control. But the NYT reports that the campaign barely aired the spot in Iowa and New Hampshire, which also happen to be swing states with loads of gun owners.]  -Fox News

 Will Hilly return donation from controversial Muslim  cleric? -  Free Beacon: “An Islamic Turkish religious leader whose followers have donated up to $1 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation is being taken to court on charges that he is using U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund a reclusive cult that is indoctrinating U.S. children and silencing critics by force, according to a copy of the legal complaint filed Wednesday in a U.S. District Court. Fethullah Gülen, a Muslim cleric whose movement has been described by critics as cult-like, stands accused of using hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds to establish more than 120 charter schools in the United States that are used to proselytize and indoctrinate American youths.”   -Fox News

 MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH  
Lawmakers wrangling for a long-term funding deal under threat of a government shutdown at midnight are giving themselves more rope. A five-day extension of current spending levels passed the Senate Thursdayand is expected to pass the House today. While horse trading continues on the $1.1 trillion tax and spending legislation a new political wrinkle is in play as Democrats push for changes in gun policy.
          WashEx:  “Democrats added a demand to the spending bill talksThursday when they suddenly insisted that an agreement must include lifting a federal law preventing the Centers for Disease Control from studying the impact of gun violence…The current law that Democrats oppose…prevents the CDC from spending federal funds ‘to advocate or promote gun control.’…a string of mass shootings has emboldened Democrats to push Republicans to lift the ban, and it has suddenly become one of the main sticking points in the omnibus negotiations.”

 YOU EXPECTED BIBI TO HAVE A LAP DOG?  
BBC: “A dog recently adopted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuKaiya, bit two visitors, one a lawmaker, during a religious event. The incident happened during a candle-lighting ceremony to mark the Jewish festival of Hannukah at Mr Netanyahu’s residence. MPSharren Haskel and the husband of Tzipi Hotovely, the deputy foreign minister, were not seriously hurt. Mr Netanyahu’s son took the dog in from a rescue home earlier this year. Prime Minister Netanyahu tweeted a picture of himself with the 10-year-old mixed breed in August. ‘If you want a canine, find an adult dog to rescue. You won't regret it,’ he wrote. Kaiya has met several high profile visitors including US Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry.”

 Security Lapses Let Islamic Killer into America 
{fixthisnation.com} ~ While we’ve known for some time that the nObama administration is doing very little to destroy the Islamic State, the shootings in San Bernardino have made it clear that his presidency has overseen a weakening of our nation’s natural security system as well... There’s simply so excuse for the amount of intelligence our national security agencies missed in granting a fiancé visa to killer Tashfeen Malik. According to new reports, U.S. law enforcement officials missed Malik’s jihadist social media postings despite a rigorous screening process when they were putting her through the visa process. According to officials, Malik was able to pass at least three background checks because no one bothered to see what kind of anti-American crap she was posting on the internet. Immigration officials, according to the New York Times, don’t usually look at social media when putting an applicant through their security screenings. This, despite the fact that Pakistan shares very little information with our intelligence agencies, making traditional background checks useless.

 IDF strikes two Hamas military targets in response to Gaza rocket fire 
{YAAKOV LAPPIN} ~ The Israel Air Force struck two Hamas terrorist sites overnight between Sunday and Monday, hitting targets in central and northern Gaza... following a Gazan rocket attack on Southern Israel  that occurred on Sunday night. There were no injuries reported in the rocket strike. The IDF Spokesman Unit said the airstrikes were a response to the rocket attack a few hours earlier. On Sunday night, a projectile fired from Gaza exploded in an open area in the Sha'ar Hanegev Council, triggering warning sirens in Sderot and in the surrounding areas. There were no injuries or damage in the attack.        http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/IDF-strikes-two-Hamas-military-targets-in-response-to-Gaza-rocket-fire-437236

 One Christian Slaughtered Every Five Minutes  
{Raymond Ibrahim} ~ Throughout September, as more Christians were slaughtered and persecuted for their religion -- not just by the Islamic State but by "everyday" Muslims from all around the world --  increasing numbers of people and organizations called for action... Meanwhile, those best placed to respond -- chief among them U.S. President Barack nObama and Pope Francis -- did nothing. "Why, we ask the western world, why not raise one's voice over so much ferocity and injustice?"asked Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Italian Bishops Conference. Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III said: "I do not understand why the world does not raise its voice against such acts of brutality." As one report put it: "Human rights activists see it. Foreign leaders see it. And more than 80 members of the U.S. Congress see it. Together, they are pressuring the leader of the free world President nObama to declare there is a Christian genocide going on in the Middle East."

 Witnesses Say CAIR's Hamas/MB Links Cemented From Start  
{investigativeproject.org} ~ Like a good politician, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) repeatedly proves adept at inserting itself into national debates... When presidential candidate Ben Carson said he could not support a Muslim president, CAIR gathered reporters to express outrage and call on Carson to drop out of the race. When a 14-year-old Texas boy was detained for bringing what he said was a homemade clock to school that a teacher feared might be a bomb, a CAIR official expressed outrage and sat by the boy's side during news conferences and interviews. And in the immediate aftermath of the Dec. 2 mass killings in San Bernardino by a radicalized Muslim man and his wife, CAIR called a news conference where its top Los Angeles official "unequivocally" condemned the killings. CAIR's aggressive approach, and a combination of media ignorance or laziness, generates uncritical television and newspaper stories throughout the country. This helps the organization reinforce its self-anointed and incorrect reputation as the voice for America's roughly 2 million Muslims. CAIR is presented as a responsible, moderate organization.

                                                     Judge Paul Yee Jr.
And a higher court has been asked to look into the actions by Judge Paul Yee Jr., of the Massachusetts court system. It happened at the sentencing for Daisy Obi, who is a landlord, for a physical altercation in which tenant Gihan Suliman was knocked down a flight of stairs, suffering a bruise, cuts on her lip and a ligament injury. Obi was convicted of the altercation, even though she denied it. She also denied allegations she berated Suliman over Islam. And when you find out the landlord's side of the story, you just may pop a gasket.

 hanoi-Kerry Admits Cutting Carbon Emissions Wouldn’t do Anything 
{Philip Hodges} ~ John hanoi-Kerry admitted that even if the U.S. were to totally revamp its energy system, and every American were careful to live exactly the way climate alarmists want them to live, it wouldn’t do anything, because the real problem is the developing world... According to hanoi-Kerry, they’re the ones who are responsible for 65% of global emissions. At the COP-21 climate conference in Paris, he stated: “… The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world. What a bunch a fools our leaders are.        http://lastresistance.com/15179/video-john-kerry-admits-cutting-u-s-carbon-emissions-wouldnt-do-anything/

 E.P.A. Broke Law With Social Media Push for Water Rule  
{ERIC LIPTON and MICHAEL D. SHEAR} ~ The Environmental Protection Agency engaged in “covert propaganda” and violated federal law when it blitzed social media to urge the public to back an nObama administration rule... intended to better protect the nation’s streams and surface waters, congressional auditors have concluded. The ruling by the Government Accountability Office, which opened its investigation after a report on the agency’s practices in The New York Times, drew a bright line for federal agencies experimenting with social media about the perils of going too far to push a cause. Federal laws prohibit agencies from engaging in lobbying and propaganda. “I can guarantee you that general counsels across the federal government are reading this report,” said Michael Eric Hertz, a professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York who has written on social media and the government

 Major San Bernardino cover up revealed  
{ANDREW SPALDING} ~ The attacks in San Bernardino, Calif. shocked the nation. Immediately following the attacks, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest repeatedly called the terrorist attacks “gun violence.”... Earnest then used the attack to reiterate President nObama’s determination to change gun laws and promote his administration’s anti-gun agenda. Western Journalism has reported on the nObama administration’s attempts to downplay the incident and their initial refusal to call the shooting a terrorist attack. On Thursday, a whistleblower came forward. Phillip Haney, a former Department of Homeland Security investigator, says he could have likely prevented the attacks in San Bernardino if the government had let him do his job. Three years ago, Haney had developed surveillance that revealed a global network of jihadists had infiltrated the United States. Haney’s claim that he was prohibited from investigating the mosque that the terrorists attended is now being followed up with accusations that nObama issued a directive to downplay the terrorist attacks. Unnamed sources have come forward and reported that the White House tried to spin the attack by putting pressure on officials to downplay what happened as terror, presumably in favor of the term “gun violence.” Jack Murphey of SOFREP wrote that a confidential source revealed, “nObama held a meeting in the Oval Office with his National Security Council, the attorney general, and the directors of the DHS, FBI, and NSA, in which a directive was given to downplay the terrorism angle.” This changes EVERYTHING!

 Adm Ace Lyons Speaks At Security Summit On nObama’s Religion... 
{constitutionrising.com} ~ At today’s “Nevada Security Action Summit,” in Las Vegas, Retired Admiral James “Ace” Lyons had a few words to say about the situation our country faces in the wake of seven years of non-stop assault by the anti-American subversive in the White House... The first video below is a question from an attendee as to “Why no one is gutsy enough to call a Muslim a Muslim in our White House, it’s pretty obvious that he is.” Admiral Lyons responds, “Well, all I can say is, he certainly acts the part, doesn’t he.” The second video is a clip of the Admiral’s prepared remarks, the kind of direct talk we’ve heard from him before. He opens with the statement, “When the ‘president’ of the United States is not interested in America leading, or American winning, then you understand that the greatest threat to our national security resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.”

 John hanoi-Kerry – Don’t Slow The Islamic Flow...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ John hanoi-Kerry would almost have you believe he’s got a part time or maybe even a full-time second job as an Imam the way he advocates for Islam and for the blind importation of Islamists into America... Of course the Islamists have penetrated every federal agency and department in the nObama regime, by design. Their cover organizations and front groups, such as CAIR, figure prominently in the speaking engagements and policy decisions of those who occupy positions which are supposed to be in the interest of the American people and our nation. The terrorism enabler and lifelong America-hater John hanoi-Kerry was politicking for his favorite preferential group, Islamists, as a guest of Meet the Press on Sunday. He said, “And so I think that you’ve got to be very careful, just by categorizing people by being Muslim, that is discrimination and it is contrary, I think, to the fundamental values of our country.”  He’s right, it’s discriminatory, and it’s smart. It’s called recognizing a threat and reacting appropriately.

What The Hell Are We Doing?

{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ If America would ask its young men — and now women — to fight a war, the rest of us must be willing to go all-out to win it. If we’re not, it’s immoral to send them. Soldiers and citizens must understand what’s at stake andhave confidence in

So, are we going to defeat ISIS or not? It’s not clear. President nObama promised to degrade and destroy ISIS more than a year ago, but admits he doesn’t have a strategy. He’s been bombing ISIS for a year, but not most of the oil trucks carrying oil from ISIS-controlled oil fields, and then only after he drops leaflets first giving them a 45-minute warning! After the ISIS attack on Paris, France bombed hundreds of these trucks and that left Americans wondering. If we’ve been bombing ISIS for a year, why are there so many trucks left for the French? Where are those oil trucks making deliveries? There are only a few possibilities given that they are, after all, trucks.
.

.
When ISIS set off a bomb aboard a Russian passenger jet, and Turkey shot down a Russian fighter plane, Russia accused Turkey of buying oil from ISIS. Could that be true? Turkey is allied to the United States. It belongs to NATO. The nObama Administration insisted Turkey is not buying ISIS oil, but ISIS makes $4 million per day selling it and there are only so many places a truck can go, right? Turkey is right next door.
.

Last month, the UK Guardian reported that: “Turkish businessmen struck lucrative deals with ISIS oil smugglers, adding at least $10m (£6.6m) per week to the terror group’s coffers.” The Jerusalem Post’s Caroline Glick reports that: “For nearly two years, we have known that Turkey is Islamic State’s major arms supplier. And for six months we have known that they are their partners in oil exports.” The Daily Beast reports that fifty US intelligence agents filed a formal complaint with US Central Command that intelligence reports were being doctored by senior intelligence officials in the nObama Administration for political reasons. When America  special forces killed an ISIS finance guy, they seized his computer with information on ISIS oil sales to Turkey.

Monroe Mann, one of my former students, returned from northern Iraq where he’d been a US Army intelligence officer working with the Kurds. He delivered a presentation to all five of my US History classes and his esteem for Kurdish soldiers as allies of the United States was enormous. After nObama was elected, he pulled all US forces out of Iraq and the Kurds were on their own. Today, most analysts recognize them as the only effective opposition to ISIS on the ground — but nObama won’t send them military aid. Why? Because Turkey doesn’t want him to. Historical Kurdistan overlaps Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey — and Turkey is afraid of a Kurdish independence movement. So are the other countries.
.

.
Confused yet? It gets worse. After nObama allowed Bashar Assad to overstep his red line on chemical weapons, Russia moved in to support Assad. Iran supports him too. nObama has walked on eggshells negotiating his ill-advised nuclear treaty with Iran and didn’t want to upset the mullahs by undermining their ally Assad. Even though nObama declares over and over that Assad has to go, he has no strategy to accomplish that either. Meanwhile he’s overseeing feeble military efforts against both Assad and ISIS while Russia and Iran openly support Assad and Turkey secretly supports ISIS. Should we be sending any US soldiers into a conflict in which we’re not sure who we’re fighting for or against? When we don’t know who our enemies are or who our friends are?

“War is the locomotive of history,” said Bolshevik commander Leon Trotsky. Teaching US History, my approach was to analyze each war’s causes, major battles, and most of all — its effects, after which students were tasked to consider whether it was worth fighting. Then I’d tell them to imagine themselves as 18-year-old males during each war and ask themselves if they would have volunteered to fight in it. I also taught current events and we followed Desert Storm, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War as they happened. Like Monroe Mann, many went on to fight. Some still are.

They’d ask me what I’d have done, but I’d defer until each had taken a position and defended it. If I were teaching about the situation in Syria and Iraq today, I’d have to tell them I would stay home until we figure out what the hell we’re doing.

Climate Change... An inconvenient look

4064189996?profile=originalOkay, you all know about climate change, right? This is the phrase the left started using after the whole “Global Warming” crap didn’t pan out. They claim that the vast majority of climate scientists believe in it; but that’s just it, CLIMATE SCIENTISTS. You remember… they used to call themselves “environmental scientists”. So when they say “Climate Scientists” they mean the guys that would be out of work if it all turned out to be bullshit. 40 years ago nobody heard of climate scientist because they didn’t exist, they were called environmentalists back then. Remember the stoned hippies blathering on about the condor? Same assholes.

Now everyone has heard of a geologist right? These are the guys that study rocks to determine what life was like on earth millions of years ago (that’s almost longer that Nancy Pelosi’s been alive). Geologists tell us the earth has been going through circular changes for as far back as we can read the rock strata. They tell us that it’s been cold and hot before; sometimes really cold and really hot. Do the majority of Geologists believe in Climate change? Yes. Do they think man had anything to do with it? NO!

Before I continue ripping these lying hippies a new one, let’s talk a little bit about what good they have done. I grew up in the 1970’s and remember everybody throwing trash from their cars. I remember illegal dumping of toxic chemicals and 3rd stage smog alerts in the Los Angeles basin. You couldn’t eat fish caught off shore, acid rain fell from the skies of New York City and landfills were useless after they were filled. Something needed to be done and it was these filthy hippies and their tireless efforts that stopped…

Wait, I’m sorry, back that up. It was Ronald Reagan that pushed through and signed the clean air and water act and Richard Nixon that created the EPA through an executive order. What did Carter do? SQUAT! Clinton? He mandated through executive order that government buildings had to recycle, which they were already doing without being ordered to, and he tried to push through Gore’s carbon credit scam; the American people weren’t buying it. So it was Republicans that saved the environment? Somewhere a liberal just read that and their head popped like a pimple. (Rip another bong-load and keep reading, Shaggy).

The fact is we have become good stewards of the land compared to the 1970’s, the “Silent Winter” days and the era of “Love Canal”, when we were less than a decade from disaster. The air is clean, so is the water, poisoning the environment is a serious crime, littering is socially unacceptable, fish are safe to eat (more or less), and landfills become golf courses which makes trash heaps the most expensive real estate you can find. Is there more to do? Yes, but it’s a matter of enforcing existing laws, not making new ones that only serve to make Al Gore Richer.

What do I mean “Making Al Gore richer”? The whole “Carbon Credit” (also known as Cap and Trade) scam is set up like a stock market; guess who owns the biggest share of this new market exchange? That’s right, Al Gore (I’m assuming you guessed correctly since we were just talking about him a second ago). Al and his buddies stand to make Bill Gates kind of money if this crap becomes law. Do you know how the whole thing works?

The idea behind this is everyone gets a certain amount of carbon credits; the air you breath, trash, car emissions, etc. Businesses too only get a certain amount and will not be allowed to exceed it unless they pay for carbon offsets. Carbon offsets include planting trees, increasing estuaries (swamps) and other hippie nonsense that make pinko’s think they are making a difference. The Idea is that companies can avoid being heavily fined and even jailed by buying credits from companies that plant trees, flood farmland to make swamps and build “Green Energy” solar panels and wind turbines. Forget for a moment that solar panels are an environmental hazard or that commercial windmills never make enough electricity to justify their cost before they burn out. Let just focus on “Cap and Trade” for now.

So, let’s say you have a business that manufactures marital aides (Well, It’s as good a business as any for our purpose here). So your factory produces X amount of carbon more than the government allows; where do you go to buy carbon credits that the government will accept as genuine? That’s right, Al Gore’s carbon credit exchange (even sounds like a used car lot). Al gets a piece of every transaction, and you get… well, you get screwed, which is appropriate considering the products you make.  

Anyway, by forced regulation, a new crop of “Green” businesses pop up to service an industry nobody needs, that does nothing and is mandated by law. This is not a new idea; it was tried before by the Catholic Church in the late Fifteenth century. They called them indulgences, and you could “offset” your sins by paying the church for absolution for yourself or a dead relative in purgatory. Sounds fair, right? Martin Luther didn’t think so; it was a chief complaint of the 95 theses (not feces, but that would have been funnier) he nailed to the Cathedral door in Wittenberg. There’s also a joke in here somewhere about the Pope and his diet of worms... But I digress.

Now, I would like to take a minute to get back to Global Warming, or whatever they are calling it this week, and address the movie “Inconvenient Truth”. It is a work of fiction, presented as a PowerPoint presentation, but this hasn’t stopped the Nobel Prize Committee from granting that once respectable award to Al Gore for his brilliant narration. This is the same group that gave President Obama the prize for being Black (just saying). “An Inconvenient Truth” is to Cap and Trade what interest rates and inflation are to the Federal Reserve. Now the movie with less truth in it than a used car salesman’s pitch, and less entertainment value than watching an old woman shop for shoes, is being forced on our children by almost every teacher’s union and school district in the nation and presented to these developing minds as fact. Just see what happens if you tell the school you don’t want your child exposed to that garbage. You will be labeled as an extremist, right wing nut and CPS will show up at the door of your abusive, unfit household. Nobody likes being the bad guy, right?  

So what am I saying about Carbon Credits in a nutshell? It’s a multi-billion dollar job-killer, created from liberal guilt and indoctrinated into our kids by their socialist teacher, that accomplishes nothing but making a few scam artists richer. Did that some it up for you? Now, I don’t care if a bunch of privileged, cocktail party liberals voluntarily spend their money on this crap; I have friends that would love to make a good living planting trees. However, to make it law and have it apply equally, even to people that know it’s a scam is criminal. What such a law would do to our economy is close to treason, but what’s wrong with a little treason if it helps you feel you’ve made a difference?

One last thing: when it comes to applying a new carbon laws equally, just remember that Obamacare was supposed to be applied equally, but donors to Obama’s campaign got waivers and dispensations. Dispensations? Another word the Catholic Church used to fleece the faithful out of their money in the 16th century…

 Fear and Loathing at the Paris Climate Summit  
It's rarely a good thing when world leaders in a group think mood decide to act quickly. On Saturday, the "international community" who met at the UN Summit on Climate Change in Paris reached an agreement. Most of the world's leaders have pledged to lower their countries' emissions rates. The pressure is on for developed countries to pay out a collective $100 billion a year to poorer countries to help them adapt to a supposedly swiftly heating planet — a handout that will do nothing for the global thermostat.
          Indeed, the real climate agenda is not about climate at all, but rather an effort from the leftist elite to "level the economic playing field," giving countries like China and India a pass while shaming and bankrupting the United States. Case in point: Barack nObama's loathing and regulation of the fossil fuel industry is causing massive economic headaches for regions of the country whose lifeblood is black gold. "Forgive us for looking through the legacy smoke," wrote The Wall Street Journal editorial board, "but if climate change really does imperil the Earth, and we doubt it does, nothing coming out of a gaggle of governments and the United Nations will save it. What will help is human invention and the entrepreneurial spirit."
          While the best qualities of human resourcefulness are ignored (because they require Liberty), Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry is appealing to the baser methods of human motivation to keep this accord in place. The man who once said climate change was a weapon of mass destruction wants to whip fellow countries towards the fight against nature with shame and international condemnation because it's "the most powerful weapon in many ways." Shame and mockery is all they've got left.  -The Patriot Post

 After Sandy Hook, Americans Recognized Need for Guns  
The Left cannot fathom why mass shootings cause the number of gun purchases to rise. Today marks the third anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre, where 26 elementary school children and their educators died at the hands of a mentally deranged man — one of the most horrific mass shootings in modern history. In the aftermath, Barack nObama and his gun-grabbing lemmings felt a sense of vigor. A handful of states like New York and Connecticut passed stricter gun laws. But the tragedy was not quite the tipping point they were after. According to a review by the Associated Press, more states than not have recognized the Second Amendment more fully, increasing the freedom of self-defense and the right to bear arms.
          Mississippi may consider a bill allowing churches to designate armed parishioners. Wisconsin eliminated a 24-hour waiting period. You don't need a permit to carry a concealed weapon in Kansas. For months, the FBI has been breaking records on how many times the National Instant Criminal Background Check System is used to check on a firearm purchaser.
          Meanwhile, gun control advocates like nObama spokesman Josh Earnest just don't get it. Last week, Earnest told reporters, "The more that we see this kind of violence on our streets, the more people go out and buy guns. That is both ironic and tragic." Why does he think this is? Does he honestly think more law-abiding people passing background checks want to jump into street violence? Instead, maybe, just maybe, Americans realize that as self-governing people they must ensure their own security — that more guns equal less crime.  -The Patriot Post

 These Are Not the Weapons You're Looking For 
The Zero-Tolerance Empire strikes back. This time, a Houston seventh grader was informed he had to zip up his jacket to cover his Star Wars T-shirt because it portrayed a storm trooper holding a — gasp! — blaster. (It is called Star Wars, after all.) The boy's father was incredulous, saying, “It’s political correctness run amok. You’re talking about a Star Wars T-shirt, a week before the biggest movie of the year comes out. It has nothing to do with guns or making a stand. It’s just a Star Wars shirt.” Not to Sith dealing in absolutes school officials bound by zero-tolerance policies it isn't. The school's handbook lists potential violations of dress code. Among them are “symbols oriented toward violence.” And if there's anything more obnoxious than Jar Jar Binks, it's school officials who can't make rational decisions about school policy. But hey, at least the kid didn't chew his Pop Tart into a blaster. Administrators might have thrown him into the sarlacc pit for that one.   -The Patriot Post

 Religious vs. Political Islam  
Americans take many things for granted. One of them is a rather brilliant decision made by the Founding Fathers, who were among the many settlers coming to the New World to escape religious oppression by state-affiliated faiths. The Founders decided that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Hence, while people were free to worship as they please, church and state would remain separate entities. Islam makes no such distinction, and America is in desperate need of a forthright conversation regarding the differences between religious and political Islam.
          "Some Muslims come to the United States to practice their religion peacefully, and assimilate into the Western tradition of tolerance of other people’s liberties, including religious liberty — a tradition alien to the theocratic societies in which they grew up,“ writes National Review’s Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor who led the case against the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. "Others come here to champion sharia, Islam’s authoritarian societal framework and legal code, resisting assimilation into our pluralistic society. Since we want to both honor religious liberty and preserve the Constitution that enshrines and protects it, we have a dilemma.”
          Dilemma indeed. As McCarthy further explains, the overwhelming majority of people emigrating from Muslim-majority countries to Western nations are coming from societies where "Islam is a comprehensive ideological system that governs all human affairs, from political, economic, and military matters to interpersonal relations and even hygiene.” And while Islam does have religious tenets, McCarthy argues "these make up only a fraction of what is overwhelmingly a political ideology.”
          At the center of that political ideology is Sharia Law, a system of governance that embraces such concepts as discrimination against women, homosexuals and non-believers, the suppression of free speech and unfettered economic activity, and the denial of due process and protection against cruel and unusual punishment.  -The Patriot Post

 'Climate criminal' blows whistle: 'It's just about the money!'  

{GREG COROMBOS} ~ Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry told the Paris climate conference that ending all U.S. carbon emissions, or even those in all the industrialized world, would do nothing to impact the climate... leading one of the top critics of the climate-change movement to call the speech additional proof that the effort is all about wealth redistribution. In another major development, the latest draft of the climate agreement does not include the creation of the International Climate Justice Tribunal, which would have been a U.N. agency that billed industrialized nations for the cleanup of natural disasters around the world. In hanoi-Kerry’s address to the conference, he made a push to get developing nations to make major commitments in reducing carbon emissions. However, his comments also gave considerable fuel to those who believe hanoi-Kerry and others are on a fool’s errand. “The fact is that even if every single American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what? That still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution from the rest of the world,” hanoi-Kerry said. He took a step further.        http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/climate-criminal-blows-whistle-its-just-about-the-money/

 McCon-nell Laying Ground Work For TPP Treachery...  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Mitch McCon-nell is once again showing himself as the prostitute to the ruling class that he is. He’s the equivalent of the US Chamber of Commerce’s vibrating toy, one that has nothing but Energizers for them and looks nothing like a bunny... On Thursday McCon-nell announced that due to the anti-American nature of the toxic Trans-Pacific Partnership, it would have be to maneuvered through the Senate at a time when those purchased votes could be cast in defiance of the wishes of the American people with the least negative impact on the sellout Senators. No vote would be scheduled prior to the 2016 elections as the American people would see what is being done to them and likely respond by throwing his bums out. The vote will have to be delayed until after the election, in a lame duck session, so that those losers on their way out the door can give one final middle finger salute to America and those having just won reelection are temporarily beyond their reach.       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23575

 Sen Jeff Sessions Urges Lawmakers To Rescind TPA, Vote On TPP...
{constitutionrising.com} ~ The harshest critic of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and it’s placement of the interests of foreigners and the money changer class ahead of the United States citizens is undeniably Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL)... He’s also been one of the few advocates for putting the economic well-being of American citizens and our nation first, including the access to good-paying jobs, the ability to earn a living wage, and the preservation of the endangered middle class. Senator Sessions opposed TPP and fast-track authority every step of the way earlier this year and is still working to put the American people first in the face of an onslaught against us by the corrupted members of Congress and the financial interests whom they serve. Recognizing the treachery that is afoot, including, most notably, among leaders and “respected” members of the Republican Party, Sessions posted an appeal. He asked that the people’s business be conducted in the light of day, away from the trickery, back room deals and complicity that has characterized the process to this point. On Friday Senator Sessions posted the following on his Senate website:       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23581

 Pamela Geller – Critical Mass May Still Save America  
{constitutionrising.com} ~ After Time Magazine announced German Chancellor Angela Merkel as their “person of the year” for the destruction of Germany and Europe in facilitating the Islamic invasion... Pamela Geller offers her insight into just what Merkel has done and how she will be remembered by history. Geller described the declaration as being typical for Time, noting that they had also named Adolph Hitler the man of the year at one time. She said, “Merkel will go down as a key figure, a single figure in the destruction of Europe.” She says “This is one large conspiracy we’re witnessing and the media and academia and political elites are responsible for the destruction of the West. I mean, what Merkel did was unforgivable. That number’s going to be 2 million and they’ve reached the point of no return.” She continues, “And they’re heralding the Muslim invasion as quote, humanitarian crisis, well let me tell you something. They heralded the Islamic supremacist revolutions that destroyed the Middle East and is destroying Africa as quote, end quote ‘the Arab Spring.’”       http://constitutionrising.com/archives/23595

 See Something Say Nothing By CAIR, Islamists To “Shut People Up” 
{constitutionrising.com} ~ Jim Hanson, the Executive Vice President of the Center for Security Policy says that the reluctance to notify authorities of the suspicious activities of the San Bernardino killers was... “A rational response to a dedicated campaign by groups like CAIR and all of the rest of the Muslim Brotherhood front groups whose job is to shut people up talking about it. They want ‘see something say nothing to be the way Americans respond.’” Judge Pirro notes the lawsuit CAIR filed on behalf of Ahmed the Alarm Crock Terrorist Boy in Irving, Texas in the amount of $5 million dollars, naming Mayor Beth Van Duyne as a defendant. Hanson notes that he’s built briefcase bombs before and it was totally legitimate for this to have been handled as it was. It’s choreographed intimidation by the pro-Islamists intended to silence the resistance to their invasion. There’s also a history between CAIR and Van Duyne, as she had earlier been instrumental in their denial of being able to practice a separate Sharia Law within the city. A little Islamist revenge seems to have been at play in Ahmed’s target selection.

 Microaggression Hypocrisy On The World Stage 
{Herbert London} ~ Microaggression, or a slight intended or unintended, has influenced public discourse from universities to world leaders... Yet it is interesting to note some slights are acceptable and others are not. It is considered inappropriate to use an adjective such as militant or radical to modify the noun Islam. However, it is increasingly appropriate to use the expression Zionist aggression, even when most Israeli military activity is defensive – a retaliation for violence inflicted on the Jewish state. In university life any slight, however, trifling has been elevated to an issue of major significance. A Halloween costume became a matter for presidential intervention at Yale. When the president of the University of Missouri neglected to recognize a group of students at a homecoming parade, he was charged with insensitivity. Alas, the world hasn’t gone completely crazy. These microaggressions are part of a left-wing strategy to disrupt prevailing convention. It is as if Saul Alinksy’s “Rules for Radicals” was the playbook. Invented slights, exaggerated as normative insults, become the catalyst for disruption and disruption is the seedbed for revolution. These efforts at disruption are indeed mindless, but even mindlessness has a purpose.

 Dem Party is Broke – Wants Taxpayers to Fund Their 2016 Conv.  
{Jim Hoft} ~ The party of handouts want’s a taxpayer handout...  Democrat National Committee Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz drafted a plan demanding US taxpayers fund the DNC convention next year. Already struggling with finances, the Democratic Party has drafted a plan to have taxpayers help pay about $20 million for next summer’s nominating convention, reversing a change Congress approved just a year ago. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is also a congresswoman from Florida, has drafted a bill to restore money that both parties used to receive from the federal government to help defray the costs of running their quadrennial conventions. Democrats are plain nuts.

 Iran Withdrawing IRGC Forces From Syria as Tensions With Russia 
{David Daoud} ~ Iran has started to withdraw its elite Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces from Syria, the Saudi-aligned London-based daily Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Sunday... Among the reasons for the retreat cited in the report is the heavy losses suffered by Iran during the two months since Russia has begun conducting military operations there. According to the report, one Free Syrian Army officer claimed that tensions between the Russians and Iranians have been mounting, due to near-daily casualties incurred by the latter, purportedly as a result of the former’s pushing for increased ground operations. The officer said he learned of this while eavesdropping on their communications. Reports have also been circulating that the commander of the IRGC-Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, was seriously wounded during a battle in Aleppo.

 Nonie Darwish: Why the U.S. should not take in Muslim immigrants  
{Pamela Geller} ~ Islamic turmoil never fails to dominate the headlines, and the West is yet again split on how to deal with the polarizing issue of Islamic immigration... But liberals can no longer afford to be motivated by only political short-term goals expressed with the usual shouting, name-calling and emotion. This issue can really hurt liberal and progressive causes, as well as conservative causes. Looking at the big picture of relocating populations, the first thing that comes to mind is that it should benefit and not hurt either the Muslim nations that are sending the immigrants out or Western nations that are absorbing the immigrants in. If by absorbing large numbers of moderate Muslims from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan etc., are we really helping these nations to reform? The answer is no, and this is why.

President nObama’s Imaginary World

{freedomsback.com} ~ President nObama lives in a world all his own. It’s a world in which he’s widely beloved but also misunderstood, a world in which everyone is racist except for those who support him, a world in which his foreign policy has been heroically successful and his domestic policy even more so. President nObama lives in Fantasyland.
.
In this Fantasyland, it’s not enough for President nObama to define the world around him in self-serving fashion. He must define his enemies the same way. To that end, while visiting Paris for the Climate Change Summit that will supposedly usher in an era of global cooperation and environmental utopianism, nObama announced that he had finally found a way to defeat Islamic State. Talking about climate change, nObama said, was an “act of defiance that proves nothing will deter us … What greater rejection of those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best efforts to save it?”
.
Not to be Debbie Downer, but nothing in ISIS’ plans suggests that they care deeply about preventing a bunch of self-important bureaucrats from meeting in well-stocked, toney hotels to destroy the Western economy on behalf of scientific chimeras. ISIS, in fact, probably adores the notion that the West will take itself down a couple economic pegs in order to redistribute the wealth. Certainly other Islamic terrorists have felt that way. Osama Bin Laden, for example, lamented that the West did not spend more money on climate change relief efforts, and stated according to Al Jazeera, “Speaking about climate change is not a matter of intellectual luxury — the phenomenon is an actual fact. All of the industrialized countries, especially the big ones, bear responsibility for the global warming crisis.”
.
Regardless of ISIS’ feelings on global warming, they obviously don’t sit around in Raqqa lamenting that their plans have been defeated by those dastardly Westerners and their catered diplomatic lunches. But President nObama says they do. That’s because he crafts his own enemies based on who he wishes they were. nObama is thoroughly uncomfortable with the idea that those who wish to fight him are members of radical Islam. He wishes they were right-wing American ideologues. So he simply plays them off as such.
.
nObama did the same thing with regard to the Iran nuclear deal. While handing Iran $150 billion in funding, opening their economy, and granting them a full nuclear weapons program in a decade, nObama claimed that the real enemies of peace were Republicans siding with Iranian hardliners. Never mind that those hardliners didn’t exist. nObama created them magically, and then made them Republicans.
.
Barack nObama is a leftist hammer in search of a conservative nail. No matter who his enemies actually are, he’ll characterize them as American conservatives for purposes of whacking them over the head. ISIS may have slaughtered Westerners in Paris thanks to radical Islam, but nObama will never acknowledge that: instead, he’ll just claim that they’re essentially Ted Cruz in keffiyehs.
.
This isn’t rare. Jackie Kennedy once lamented that her husband had been shot by a “silly little communist” rather than dying for civil rights; her allies quickly turned JFK’s assassination into a referendum on American conservatism. nObama’s doing the same thing now. He has chosen his enemies, and they don’t include ISIS. That means that if ISIS must be his enemy, he will simply wave his Fantasyland wand, and they will be transformed into the Republican enemies he so craves.
.
The problem is, they won’t. They’ll just keep killing. Reality remains reality, no matter how much President nObama sprinkles fairy dust and claps his hands.

 How to Track Five Million Illegals  
The common perception is that most illegal aliens come across the border with Mexico, but most experts still believe that between 40% and 50% of illegals are actually people who came legally and overstayed their visas. According to a 2006 study by the Pew Research Center, "Nearly half of all the unauthorized migrants now living in the United States entered the country legally through a port of entry such as an airport or a border crossing point where they were subject to inspection by immigration officials." In other words, these folks aren't "undocumented" at all; they've just slipped through the cracks because enforcement has long been, shall we say, lacking.
          If the giant bureaucracies of the Social Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service and Department of Homeland Security could work together, illegals who've overstayed would be easier to identify. (Maybe if the IRS wasn't so busy targeting conservatives... Just a thought.)
          Well, the Associated Press reports, there's an effort afoot to track those who overstay visas: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection will begin capturing facial and eye scans of foreigners entering the country at San Diego's Otay Mesa port of entry on foot. By February, foreigners going to Mexico on foot through the checkpoint will get scanned. The trial run, which lasts through the end of June, will help determine if authorities expand biometric screening to foreigners at all land crossings on the 1,954-mile border with Mexico. Authorities will look at the accuracy of the cameras." The problem has never been the law. Congress has demanded these scans for more than 20 years. Again, it's lack of enforcement that presents the biggest problem. And a legitimate tracking system will go a long way toward fixing it.  -The Patriot Post

 Did DHS End Program Tracking San Bernardino Attackers?  
Could U.S. law enforcement stop Tashfeen Malik — the woman who helped carry out the San Bernardino attack — after she applied for a visa, before she even entered the states? Former Customs and Border Patrol analyst Phil Haney told Fox News that it was possible, if the State Department and DHS' Office of Civil Rights had not stepped in over concerns that the program was politically incorrect. Haney had been tracking the Deobandi Movement, a group of fundamentalist Muslims, putting thousands of names and locations into a database, tracking the members as they traveled in and out of America using the visa waiver program. Both attackers were associated with the movement, and the wife's entry attempt might have been flagged had the investigation continued.
          Haney received a letter of commendation after his work identified 300 terrorists. But then the PC police stepped in and said Haney was profiling Muslims. Records were deleted. When he spoke up, Haney lost his security clearance in September 2014. Haney said, "The administration was more concerned about the civil rights and liberties of foreign Islamic groups with terrorist ties than the safety and security of Americans." This administration can't be trusted with national security issues. It shut down a program trying to prevent terrorist acts before they happen, but it wants to expand background checks on firearm purchase to prevent mass shootings before they happen. Go figure.
          In related news, there are reports that nObama instructed law enforcement to downplay the terrorism angle in the immediate aftermath of the attack, as it undercut his preferred narrative.   -The Patriot Post

 The Executives Act on Gun Control  
Before the blood has even dried in San Bernardino, Barack nObama and his cronies began acting in political theater. This week, nObama's adviser Valerie Jarrett told a group of people holding a vigil in remembrance of the Sandy Hook massacre that her boss is considering proposals to institute a measure of gun control. More specifically, nObama will probably use his phone and pen to close the "gun show loophole" and expand background checks. Polls show people support background checks, so nObama's just trying to make Republicans look unreasonable for opposing him. That shores up an incrementally larger number of people who think Republicans just won't budge at all on the issue and don't care that Americans keep getting killed. Recall that nObama told NBC September 2014, "Part of this job is also the theater of it. A part of it is, you know, how are you, how, how are you, well, it's not something that — that always comes naturally to me. But it matters. And I'm mindful of that." Make no mistake: nObama is only playing political theater. As National Review's Charles C.W. Cooke noted, nObama doesn't have enough time in office to propose an executive order, hold a reasonable comment period and defend the action in court. It's all for show to demonstrate Democrats are doing something, anything, about "gun violence." 
          Meanwhile in the "Constitution State," Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy promised Thursday to sign an executive order banning the sale of firearms in the state to anyone that appears on the federal terrorism watch list, a clear erosion of due process. But like all the other gun control measures the state adopted after Sandy Hook, this one wouldn't have stopped that massacre. More theater.   -The Patriot Post

 Gitmo's 'Going Out of Business' Sale  
Within days after taking office, Barack nObama pompously penned an executive order closing the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within a year. Seven years later, the facility remains open due to strenuous objections to moving Gitmo's occupants stateside (or elsewhere) as well as concerns over the cost of closing the prison. A recent Defense Department proposal pegged the cost as $600 million, which includes separate holding facilities around the country for the remaining detainees.
          Frustrated at the lack of progress, some in nObama's camp want him to go the executive order route again and with a stroke of a pen magically make the holding cells disappear. In reality, though, nObama has stepped up the pace of releasing prisoners over the last several months with another five transferred to the United Arab Emirates this week. The current population of 107 may be in double-digits by year's end if nObama has his way. Last month, nObama spokesman Josh Earnest intoned, “I'm not aware of any ongoing effort to devise a strategy using only the president's executive authority to accomplish this goal. But I certainly wouldn't ... take that option off the table.” Going it alone is never off of nObama's table.
          Emptying out the camp may be a campaign promise, but it also leaves the enormous risk of former prisoners returning to the battlefield, like a certain Yemeni al-Qaida leader.
          According to Thomas Joscelyn in The Long War Journal, "Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani. In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012. Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders."

 Trump: You Should Ban Islamists, Not Muslims  
{Daniel Pipes} ~ Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, called on Dec. 7 for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on."... Replace one word in this formulation and it goes from outrageous to brilliant. Reacting to massacres by Muslims in Paris and San Bernardino, Trump pointed to a Muslim hatred "beyond comprehension" for the West. Therefore, he concluded, "Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad." The negative responses, domestic and international, Muslim and non-Muslim, came in fast and furious – and rightly so, as Trump's crude blast is unconstitutional, unacceptable, unworkable, and unstrategic.       http://www.danielpipes.org/16331/trump-ban-islamists-not-muslims

 Missing: The State Depart emails of Hilly's computer guy  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ Remember Bryan Pagliano? He’s the senior Hilly Clinton IT guy who worked for her at State, and on her home server... When Pagliano was called to testify before the Benghazi committee he “took the fifth.” The latest Pagliano-related issue is that his State Department emails seem to have disappeared. Well not all of them are missing,  just the ones written during Ms. Clinton’s tenure at Foggy Bottom. Politico is reporting that State Dept. officials told the Senate Judiciary Committee in a recent closed-door meeting that they could not locate what’s known as a “.pst file” for Pagliano’s work during Clinton’s tenure, which would have included copies of the tech expert’s emails, according to a letter Chairman Chuck Grassley sent to Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry (embedded below). A personal storage table or .pst  is an open file format used to store copies of messages, calendar events, and other items within Microsoft software such as Microsoft Exchange Client, Windows Messaging, and Microsoft Outlook.        http://lidblog.com/missing-state-department-emails-of-hillary-clintons-computer-guy/?utm_source=The+Lid+List&utm_campaign=39fd67d15c-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_597b72c01c-39fd67d15c-291705165

 Hilly Clinton Calls Family of the Benghazi Dead… Liars!  
{Onan Coca} ~ About a month ago we brought you a video produced by the folks at Townhall media that showed the majority of the families who lost loved ones in the Benghazi terrorist attack of 9/11/2012 were told by Hilly Clinton that the YouTube video was the cause of the attack... Now, almost exactly 4 weeks later, Hilly Clinton has responded to those families and what she is saying is DISGUSTING. This past Sunday, Hilly Clinton appeared on ABC’s This Week with the sycophantic George Stephanopoulos where she was asked about the Benghazi scandal and what these families had to say about her lies. Instead of apologizing or attempting to explain away her comments, Clinton chose to call these families LIARS.       http://eaglerising.com/27416/hillary-clinton-calls-family-of-the-benghazi-dead-liars/

 Toronto’s Pearson Airport now has a “gender apartheid mosque”... 
{Ezra Levant} ~ The Globe and Mail reports that the official Syrian refugee intake area at Toronto Pearson Airport has a mosque... We’re banning the Lord’s Prayer, but we’re building mosques with tax dollars. But not just any mosque. A gender apartheid mosque. Men over there. Women over there. So the very first thing these Syrians are seeing is not the Canadian belief in the equality of men and women. I don't understand why the West is bending over backwards for these people. The people who want to kill us.

 DHS Shut Down Investigation into San Bernardino Jihadists  
{Pamela Geller} ~ The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deleted intel records relating to notorious jihadists linked to San Bernardino Islamic terrorists Sayed Farook and Tashfeen Malik... because they wanted to protect the “civil liberties” of members of the caliphate-supporting network. My civil liberties and your civil liberties are being abridged in accordance with the blasphemy laws under Shariah (Islamic laws). My organization is engaged in 15 different free speech lawsuits against various cities. Our free speech lawsuit against Boston is heading to the Supreme Court because even though truthful, our ads violate the laws of sharia (“do not criticize Islam”). We are being forced to adhere to sharia mores, but jihad murderers are given sanctuary and protection — to slaughter Americans. The immoral of the story is — jihad terror.

 Black Lives Matter Protester Never Saw THIS Coming...  
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Black Lives Matter protesters are quickly learning a harsh lesson in how the real world works, as supporters of the police and military everywhere are fighting back... some with their words, some, like the courageous Marine in the following video, with their fists. These two Black Lives Matter protesters were shouting across the street at this Marine, who was shouting, “Police Lives Matter” in return. Suddenly the man decides to cross the street and bridge the gap between the three of them, leading to an altercation that became heated quicker than you can say race-baiters. The story was first posted on Conservative Tribune, but was quickly retracted for an unknown reason. Regardless, we have the incredible video footage to share with you of one of the most aggressive arguments between two completely opposing people that I have ever seen.

 Sweden: Shambles in Asylum Heaven  
{Ingrid Carlqvist} ~ In spite of the supposedly tighter asylum rules announced November 24, chaos rules in Sweden... So far, in 2015, 150,000 asylum seekers have been registered; but as there is nowhere to house them, people are sleeping in tents, on cardboard boxes in exhibition halls, and even on the street. Many run away from the Immigration Service facilities. More than 22,000 people are supposed to be deported but refuse to leave. Swedes are understandably terrified that terrorists might be hiding among the refugees. The police are busy with pointless border controls and cannot attend to their normal work. It is not an exaggeration to say that in this situation, Sweden has lost track of pretty much everything.

Even the asylum seekers are complaining. On a Swedish public television program, Uppdrag Granskning, aired on December 2, Salwa, a mother of young children, told the reporter how she is forced to live in an asylum house along with men she called "bad people." When the reporter explained to Salwa that 10,000 new asylum seekers arrive every week, and this was why everything was topsy-turvy, she replied: "Then close the borders. Stop taking in more people. If you have ten guests in your house and there is not enough room, would you still take in ten more?"

{washingtonpost.com} ~ Progressives are increasingly preoccupied with income inequality, and their current hero, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), favors increasing the tax system’s progressivity. So, in this 103rd year of the income tax, it is timely to note that there still is no intellectually sturdy case for progressive taxation.
.
Arguments for it are invariably arguments for increased equality of social outcomes. Because individuals have different vocational desires and different aptitudes for adding value to the economy, inequality is inevitable. Because individuals have different social sensibilities, opinions will differ about what degrees of inequality are intolerably unlovely (more about this aesthetic metric in a moment). But inequality, even when unlovely to some, is unjust only when it arises from unjust social arrangements. So, the degree to which inequality is morally troubling depends on the degree to which the process that allocates wealth does so according to political influence and rent-seeking rather than merit and self-reliance.
.
Society should prevent extreme privation, no matter how far the top earners are from those near the bottom. But who is to decide, and how are they to decide, the ideal spread between the top and the bottom of income distribution? The argument for progressive taxation must demonstrate this: Such taxation does not do more harm by slowing economic growth than faster economic growth would do good by its distributive effects.
.
Although the argument for progressive taxation usually begins with a moral judgment about social conditions, it usually becomes a moral assertion about equitable sacrifices. It asserts that money has declining marginal utility — that $1,000 subtracted from a wealthy person’s income diminishes that person’s happiness, or society’s sum of happiness, less than would $1,000 subtracted from the income of a person with a modest income.
.
But this ostensibly scientific, meaning empirical, generalization about how people value money often conceals moral judgments about how people ought to value money, or — again, an essentially aesthetic judgment — about the “social value” of expenditures by the wealthy and the non-wealthy. When these moral judgments are codified in tax policy, they conflict with this idea: “It is one of the virtues of a free society that, within the widest limits, men are free to maximize their satisfactions according to their own hierarchy of preferences.”
.
So wrote two University of Chicago law professors, Walter J. Blum and Harry Kalven Jr., in a famous 1952 essay, “The Uneasy Case for Progressive Taxation.” Their understanding of a free society is shared by many conservatives, including many Republican presidential aspirants, who favor a “flat” or proportionate income tax: If taxpayer A earns 20 times more than taxpayer B earns, taxpayer A pays 20 times more dollars.
.
Proportionate taxation always is what progressive taxation never is: simple. What justifies progressive taxation, and characterizes progressivism, is confidence that at any moment in society’s endless evolution, what is equitable can be known and society can be fine-tuned to achieve it. Which is how we got our baroque tax code.
.
As Blum and Kalven noted, “It is the very nature of majority rule that the majority can vote distinctive burdens for the minority.” It is, however, the nature of reality that burdens imposed on the wealthy minority can injure the majority by impairing economic incentives, thereby suppressing growth. Progressive taxation reduces the rewards of investments and the real rate of return on savings, thereby encouraging consumption over saving and hence over capital formation. When progressive taxation slows economic growth, it makes inequalities of wealth more durable by retarding the accumulation of new fortunes. And by encouraging constant tinkering with the tax code to perfect equity, progressive taxation gives a patina of altruism to rent-seeking by economic factions, whereby government enriches those sophisticated at manipulating it.
.
Because other arguments produce only “uneasy” cases for progressive taxation, this is the argument of last resort: All striving occurs in, and all success is conditioned by, a social context. Each individual’s achievement, like each individual, is derivative of society, which is entitled to socialize — conscript — whatever portion of each individual’s acquisition that society calculates is its rightful share. Because collective choices (provision of education, infrastructure and other public goods) facilitate individuals’ strivings, the collectivity, represented by government, can take as much of created wealth as it decides it made possible. Being judge and jury in its own case, government will generously estimate its contributions and entitlements.
.
The arguments for progressive taxation range from the feeble to the sinister. The case for it is not uneasy; it is nonexistent.

IT IS TIME FOR A POLITICAL REVOLUTION

By: Juan Reynoso, WTP Activist -  www.represent.us

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

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

Democrats and Republicans only care about their party; their party over our country. But the time has come for a political revolution; nothing matters but our U.S Constitution, our country and the economic and welfare of the American people. Obama and Hillary are liars and have done more to destroy this country than George W.

Obama’s Deal With the Devil…Part 2 of 3

By Craig Andresen and Diane Sori  Right Side Patriots on American Patriots Broadcasting Network

In Part 1of our Investigative Report: ‘Obama’s Deal With the Devil’ ob-1.jpg?width=233(http://thepatriotfactor.blogspot.com/201…), we presented why we believe Obama gave the speech he did and why the San Bernardino police are acting after the fact in a way they should have acted before the fact. But what is…is…and we are left not with questions per se but with facts that we can no longer afford to overlook…and those facts center around Barack HUSSEIN Obama himself and where his true loyalties lie.

To put the pieces of the puzzle together we need just look at Obama’s actions, policies, and words since he became president. Let’s start with his Cairo, Egypt, speech soon after he assumed the office of the presidency. In that speech Obama aligned himself with the muslims by saying his job as president of the United States was to “fight against negative stereotypes of islam wherever they appear.” However, that is not the job of an American president…his job is to ‘protect the health, safety, and welfare’ of the American people above all else, as it is his job to show America in a positive light where and whenever possible. An American president does not defame or dishonor his country, its military, or its people…which Obama routinely does…nor does an American president bow to any foreign leader… especially to a leader whose allegiances are still somewhat in question. And in this case we mean Obama’s bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia in whose country islam’s (supposed) holy city of Mecca lies.

According to a recent CNN/ORC poll, Americans have once again contracted war fever. For the first time a majority (53 percent) of the public wants to send ground troops to battle ISIS. Coming on the heels of three horrific ISIS-linked terrorist attacks—the Russian jetliner, the November attacks in Paris, and the San Bernardino spree killing—this is not entirely surprising. People are understandably fed up with Islamic crazies killing innocent people.

I’m sick of it too, though less eager to send ground troops. Not that we have any good options.

Our policy thus far has been “no boots on the ground,” or at least that’s what the White House has told us. “No boots” isn’t entirely true—just like everything else this lying president says. There are indeed some boots on the ground in the Middle East stamped “made in the USA” on their soles but for the most part we’ve chosen to fight ISIS from the sky.

Our airpower strategy has not rolled back ISIS, for a number of reasons, the first of which is that it telegraphs to the enemy that we are irresolute in our mission. We can’t stomach casualties and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the grand poohbah of ISIS, know this. Why should he despair? Second, airpower alone doesn’t win wars. No piece of territory is truly secure until the infantry marches in and plants the flag. Our Air Force is, of course, supporting ground troops but they happen to be Iraqi and our Iraqi allies have proven themselves to lack “combat effectiveness”—which is a nice way of saying that they suck hind teet.

The time has long since passed to decide whether we should go big or go home. I don’t like either option and for that I am glad I’m not the commander-in-chief. I’d rather not make such a weighty decision. Unfortunately, the guy who is charged with such decisions—with congressional approval of course—seems indecisive. He has condemned us to another few years of farting around with neither a cohesive strategy nor a vision of victory.

If the latest poll is any indicator, the American people, by a bare majority, have embraced “going big” and rejected “going home.” At least that’s what their fickle opinion is this week. Next week might be different and if troops remain in Iraq and Syria for any extended period of time public opinion will inevitably turn south. Americans only like war when it’s quick and easy. When soldiers start coming home in body bags we’ll blame our leaders for giving us the war we asked for.

I believe that most of that 53 percent of Americans who want to send our young people back to the sandbox labor under the mistaken belief that our military is a well-oiled machine that will make mincemeat out of ISIS. I would warn these people that our military is actually pretty ragged—under-funded, undertrained, and sorely lacking in the morale department. Most importantly, it’s been wussified—forced by politicians and general officers to become the “kindler gentler military” Stephanie Gutmann warned of fifteen years ago in her seminal book by the same name. If you haven’t read it, you need to.

Slashed military budgets have shrunken our armed forces. The US Army is now the smallest it’s been since before World War II and the US Navy the smallest since before World War I. We’re still asking this skeleton crew to keep the sea lanes open and to hold down the fort in Korea, something we didn’t ask of them in our pre-superpower era.

Morale continues its descent into the abyss. In 2014, the Military Times commissioned a survey of 2,300 military members to gage their satisfaction with military life—with bleak results. Only 56 percent of troops agreed with the statement “Overall my quality of life is good,” compared to 91 percent who said the same thing in 2009. Seventy percent of troops agreed with the statement that “quality of life will decline in coming years.” Only 27 percent said that officers in senior leadership positions had the rank-and-file’s best interest at heart—a clear indicator that careerism is having a corrosive effect on the military. As journalist Hope Hodge Seck wrote in the Military Times: “Today’s service members say they feel underpaid, under-equipped and under-appreciated, the survey data show.”

“Underpaid” is something of an understatement. Annual pay raises, which were once almost guaranteed to be at least two percent, are now sometimes as low as one percent. The last time pay raises exceeded two percent was in 2010, when the troops’ salaries were bumped up 3.4 percent. Since then, the pay raises have been 1.4 percent (2011), 1.6 percent (2012), 1.7 percent, (2013) one percent (2014), and one percent (2015). The pay raise taking effect this New Year’s Day is a mere 1.3 percent.

Perhaps the most terrifying trend in today’s military is the diminution of the warrior spirit. This “wussification” of the US military has probably been underway for decades but it shifted into hyperdrive after the ascendency of Barack Obama. His campaign to get women into combat arms positions—even elite units—without lowering standards was exposed as a farce at the very same press conference at which it was unveiled. As General Martin Dempsey famously pronounced in January 2013, “Importantly, though, if we do decide that a particular standard is so high that a woman couldn’t make it, the burden is now on the service to come back and explain to the secretary, why is it that high? Does it really have to be that high?” But don’t worry, standards won’t be lowered—and you’re sexist if you say otherwise.

The wussification of the Army is nearing its end stage. Consider the US Army Drill Sergeant School in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where noncommissioned officers go to learn how to train raw recruits. It prides itself on its New Army ethos—which means that there’s a lot less butt-chewing and apparently, according to one drill sergeant quoted in an article by journalist Jeff Wilkinson, no more “smoking” the privates. For non-veterans, “smoking” is when the drill sergeant makes the privates engage in all sorts of physically demanding exercises—pushups for sure, but also alligator walking, walrus crawling, T-bones, flutter kicks, and leg lifts. “We don’t smoke people anymore,” said Drill Sergeant Danielle Brooks. “But sometimes you have to give them a little extra TLC.” I wish this were The Onion but it isn’t. The drill sergeant really thinks it’s her job to deliver tender loving care. She might as well wear a button that says “free hugs.”

This is not your father’s Army. It isn’t even the Army I joined in 1999. My drill sergeants relished “smoking” the privates. I recall one particularly hard drill sergeant who I’m quite certain would not graduate from today’s Drill Sergeant School on account of his old-fashioned approach to training. Whether the privates were getting enough TLC was not his top concern.

I’m sure that wussification proponents would argue that “smoking” the privates does little to improve their training. I disagree. “Smoking” the privates instills mental toughness and, at very least, gets them into shape. Many young people joining the military today are neither mentally tough nor physically fit so someone must furnish them with these commodities. I’ll use myself as an example—I lost forty pounds in basic training and gained a lot of self confidence. That would not have happened if Danielle Brooks had been my drill sergeant.

Before we go sending the bloom of our youth to fight crazy dudes on a mission from Allah, it might be prudent to ask ourselves if we have truly prepared them. Are we going to send a chubby teenager, who, through no fault of his own, never did so much as a pushup in basic training, off to battle ISIS? What if that teenager isn’t properly equipped and his morale is in the gutter because he can’t pay his bills? I say no. It wouldn’t be fair to that teenager to expect him to engage in real combat where he’s likely to have his feelings hurt with no one around to give him a hug.

We’ve neglected our armed forces for a long time and we can’t now expect that they will perform as they did in generations past. Let’s hit the brakes on the rush to send ground troops to the Middle East.

With Carrie Aenk's Statement on the Raid

Gary Hunt
Outpost of Freedom
December 14, 2015

 On November 14, 2015, when Schuyler Barbeau and a friend dropped off a case containing a rifle receiver, an 18" barrel, and a 10.5" barrel, the government had all they needed to bring charges against him -- for having three legal items in close proximity.  Though not seen by the friend, the contents had been described on the way to Oliver Murphy's house.

Later, according to the Criminal Complaint, the case and contents were turned over to the FBI.  According to the Complaint, "the CHS contacted the FBI" to turn the "evidence" over to them, though it appears that the Complaint is in error -- that the FBI was staking out the house, as that date had been set up for the drop off, and he was not "contacted" by the FBI, rather the FBI just showed up, got the evidence and then "secured" it.

The evidence is claimed to be an Short Barrel Rifle (SBR), however, it was a receiver, and two barrels, but, let's not quibble over reality when the government has other objectives.

However, since that time, the FBI has gone on a local television station and let local news agencies know that they have a "domestic terrorist" in custody.  So recently after the shootings by real terrorists in San Bernardino, California, it makes them look good if they can now capture a terrorist, even before he terrorizes anyone.

Now, as far as changing the nature of what they were doing, which was to punish Schuyler for not having registered and paid the $200 tax on a SBR, we can rest assured that the FBI will, undoubtedly, put together the chosen pieces of the "secured" hoard to resemble the SBR, long before it is introduced as evidence in court.

However, we must go one step further in the "integrity" of the FBI, or lack thereof.  The Constitution affords us protection against "unreasonable searches and seizures".  Specifically, Article IV, Bill of Rights, states:

  • The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

So, not only does the object of the search have to be "particularly described", it must be "supported by Oath or affirmation".

Now, the Criminal Complaint makes only two allegations in the single "Count 1".  Those allegations are about "violation of Title 26, United States Code, Sections 5861(d) and 5845(a)(3)".  Title 26, by the way, is the Tax Code, not the Criminal Code.

However, on the Search warrant, that is supposed to be supported by Oath or Affirmation, we find those two sections of Title 26, but we also find "possession of stolen federal property, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 641; and (c) possession of a machine gun, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 922(o)".  However, there is no "Oath or affirmation" to support these charges.  Quite simply, they were probably inserted to demonize Schuyler Barbeau and make him look looked something that he surely is not -- a terrorist.

So, let's look at one of the many definitions of terrorism, as defined in the same United States Code that has already been referenced:

  • Title 18, United States Code, Section Sec. 2331.
  • (5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
  • (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
  • (B) appear to be intended—
  • (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
  • (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or

So, we have "acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State.".  Title 26, the Tax laws, are not criminal, they are, well, "taxes".

Now, in paragraph (B), it qualifies the act as one intended "to intimidate or coerce a civilian population", or, "to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion".

With the television show, the press coverage (the source had to be the government, as Schuyler hasn't even been able to speak to family, let alone the press), there is no doubt that the efforts were to coerce the population and to influence the policy (jury) by coercion.  I think that there can be little doubt as to that affect, as we have already seen the press, and can fully expect the jury, to follow suit.

So, let's look at paragraph (A).  "Violent acts or acts dangerous to human life" that would be criminal acts under our laws.  So, absent lawful authority (as per the 4th Amendment), the acts, if they are violent and dangerous to human life, they surely qualify as terrorism.  At best, Schuyler may have said some things, but he never acted anything out.  That is Freedom of Speech, and is far less offensive that "Kill Whitey" or "Kill cops", but only one person has been arrested, though the news has shown many dozens of protestors with words and signs to that effect.

But, I digress.  Carrie Aenk was home, alone, on the Aenk ranch, some 280 miles from where Schuyler was arrested and Allen Aenk detained for hours.  The government knew that she was home alone, and the warrant was daylight only, and no provision for "no-knock" entry.  That is not how it played out

Carrie Aenk has written a statement about what occurred.  I will leave the reader to judge whether they (the People) would consider these activities to be "domestic terrorism", or not.  Below are some excerpts from that statement:

  • "I have been raped without them touching my genitalia.  I no longer feel safe or secure within the walls of my home or boundaries of my property.  They have taken from me what I can never get back."
  • "The Agent sees a sweater just inside the door, grabs it from the hook and drapes it over my shoulders when I see one of my dogs that was supposed to be kenneled in my peripheral view, and then he’s gone.  I run to the edge of the porch and down the steps to get my dogs back inside their kennels but I’m thrown to the ground before I can go any further, landing in the icy mud."
  • "When I get back to the house, I walk straight over to the phone and turn my back to it so my fingers can call my attorney’s cell phone.  The Agent sees what I’m doing and takes the phone out of the cradle so I can’t use the phone."

The entire statement (pdf) is at "Carrie's Statement".  When you are finished reading her account of this ordeal, you may want to consider, based upon the information above, just who the real terrorists are.

AMERICAN ITIS NOT FOR SALE

By: Juan Reynoso, WTP Activist -  www.represent.us

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

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

2016 is the years of political revolution.

The making of political puppets through bribes- http://maplight.org/content/73373

Fellow Americans, we the people are the hope of America’s future and our freedom. 2016 is the years of political revolution, Democrats and Republicans are fed up with Washington corrupt politicians, puppets of the oligarchs.  We only have two candidates that will change the path of America’s self-destruction; they are Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul.   We must become activist and stand for America. 2016 is mean to be the year of reclamation and the turning point to reclaim our Constitution, our country’s principles, values and social responsibility and most important our God given rights to freedom, Liberty and the rule of law.  Our country has serious issues; we have become a country with a large corrupt powerful government that is controlled by the oligarchs; the oligarchs own and control this system of crony capitalism and monopolist predator corporatism. Wall Street and the oligarchs of this country made and control the many puppets in our government that by deception and lies passed free trade legislations that have destroyed our economic and the means for the American worker to earn living wages, sufficient to meet their basic needs to support their families and to provide discretionary income and the means to finance the education of their children’s.  To be more precise, Americans want their dignity back and Living Wages; a livable wages free of any handouts, social service or welfare assistant we want our dignity and freedom back.

Democrats and Republicans must become one voice and vote for America; we believe that before anything, we are Americans and the foundation of our country is our US Constitution. We will not allow the use of any political ideology to destroy our constitution, our country nor our economic and welfare.

This is the truth, it all started with Ronald Reagan, Bush the father and Bill Clinton; today most Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the destruction of millions of Americans jobs and the demise of our economic freedom; they are the promoters of free trade, globalization and slave wages, the oligarchs got richer at the expenses of the American working class and use their money to control our economic and our government. We must show the oligarchs and the puppets in our government,  that all the money in the world, will not be enough to control the destine of the American people, our country is a country of liberty; by the people and for the people.

 Is Slavery Really Gone?  
Wednesday marked the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the 13th Amendment, which banned slavery. Barack nObama observed the occasion, saying, "A hundred and fifty years proved the cure to be necessary but not sufficient. Progress proved halting, too often deferred. Newly freed slaves may have been liberated by the letter of the law, but their daily lives told another tale." He's right that systemic oppression has often been a part of America — indeed, the human experience. He called slavery "our nation's original sin" and described all the ways the struggle against it has unfolded over the years. It should go without saying that slavery was (and is) a vile institution.
          What nObama failed to mention, however, is his own party's long history of guilt on the matter. The Democrats' "Great Society" has done nothing but run up trillions in debt to continue poverty. As Mark Alexander wrote on the 50th anniversary of that travesty, "The human tragedy of LBJ’s soul-crushing 'welfare' programs is incalculable. A rapidly growing permanent underclass, one utterly dependent on the state for its day-to-day existence, now constitutes the Great Society." By design, Democrats benefit politically from that dependence and permanent racial grievance. Also by design, the first black president has only made race relations worse.
          Ironically, nObama also noted that former slaves "couldn’t protect themselves or their families from indignity or from violence." That would be thanks in part to gun control. And that terrible circumstance remains today on Democrats' urban poverty plantations, where gangs often rule the streets and the law-abiding are subject to severe gun restrictions to go along with high crime. Gun control began as a racist proposition, and it effectively remains one.
          While our nation has sometimes fallen short of its own ideals (we are human, after all), rather than perpetually fomenting racial discontent we should remember that Liberty is colorblind and strive to achieve it in every arena.  -The Patriot Post

 There Are Limits to National Security Preventing Jihadi Terror  
Some put their trust in government programs. Others put their trust in super computers and their metadata. But there is only so much security the U.S. government can provide. During a hearing before the Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee, Deputy Assistant Commissioner at the Department of Homeland Security John Wagner said if Islamic State terrorists tried to enter the United States by crossing the border like jihadists did before the Paris attacks, only "some of them would have" been stopped by law enforcement. "Some of them would have been prevented from traveling here to begin with," Wagner said. "It's been reported some of them were identified to governments as being a national security risk already. There's information we would have received from their travel details that we're confidence we would have identified had they travelled to the U.S."
          This assessment comes on the heels of a Senate report that declared the U.S. borders were no hindrance to a violent jihadist who wants to do this country harm. But a jihadist doesn't need to cross the border in order to attack America. On Wednesday, a Muslim 20-year-old man living in Minnesota was charged for trying to recruit dozens of people to support terrorist groups, one of them being the Islamic State. And despite countless calls of help from government officials to root out extremism, leaders in several Muslim communities are unwilling to do so. Contrary to what the Left may claim, the Second Amendment most definitely isn't obsolete.    -The Patriot Post

 CBO: nObamaCare May Eliminate Two Million Full-Time Jobs  
Last year, a Congressional Budget Office study found out what's in nObamaCare. To summarize: "CBO estimates that the ACA will reduce the total number of hours worked, on net, by about 1.5 to 2 percent during the period from 2017 to 2024... The reduction in CBO's projections of hours worked represents a decline in the number of full-time-equivalent workers of about 2.0 million in 2017, rising to about 2.5 million in 2024." The Office has just updated those figures through 2025, and the outlook even bleaker. The new report says, "The labor force is projected to be about 2 million full-time-equivalent workers smaller in 2025 under the ACA than it would have been otherwise." Furthermore, "[T]he estimated effect on the labor supply will be larger — a drop of 1.7 — if measured by the decline in total hours worked." The report flags three specific reasons
          "Health insurance coverage expansions — comprising exchange subsidies, rules governing health insurance, and an expansion of the Medicaid program — are together expected to reduce the labor supply by 0.65 percentage points.
          "The HI surtax is expected to reduce the labor supply by 0.12 percentage points.
          "Other major provisions — a penalty on larger employers that do not offer insurance coverage, an excise tax on certain high-premium insurance plans, and a penalty on certain individuals who do not obtain coverage — are together expected to reduce the labor supply by 0.10 percentage point."
          This should provide Republicans more ammo as they work to repeal the law. nObama, of course, would never repeal his own signature achievement. But evidence of its harmful effects is working against Barack nObama, and Republicans — assuming they don't implode — have a good shot at taking the White House in 2017, at which point repeal is more attainable. The Hill reports, "Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) pledged last week, during his most significant speech to date, that he planned to roll out a replacement plan for the healthcare law next year." If — and that's a huge if — the GOP plays its cards right, we can be rid of this colossal failure as early as 2017. And the equivalent of two million full time jobs could be saved as a result.   -The Patriot Post

  A 'Fog' of Lying and Incompetence  
A damning email released by Judicial Watch (JW) puts another exclamation point on how far the nObama administration and Hilly Clinton have been willing to go to protect their respective reputations at the expense of the truth. At 7:19 p.m. ET, on Sept. 11, 2012 — only hours after the attack in Benghazi had begun — former Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash notified leadership at the State Department that “we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.” Unfortunately, things were already "spinning up" at the White House.
          The specific forces mentioned in the email were redacted by the nObama administration, which had the temerity to cite Exemption 5 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), allowing it to withhold information based on the "Deliberative Process Privilege.”
          The revelation stands in stark contrast to former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s testimony before lawmakers in 2013: "Time, distance, the lack of an adequate warning, events that moved very quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response."
          Former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey echoed that assertion, insisting he stood by the assessment of an independent review board that concluded "interagency response was timely and appropriate, but there simply was not enough time, given the speed of the attacks, for armed U.S. military assets to have made a difference.”
          Yet in a testy exchange with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Dempsey insisted assets weren’t sent because the State Department didn’t request them. "So it's the State Department's fault," McCain countered.
          "I'm not blaming the State Department," Dempsey responded. "I'm sure they had their own assessment.”
          They did indeed. "State colleagues: I just tried you on the phone but you were all in with S,” Bash wrote, in an apparent reference to then-Secretary of State Clinton. "After consulting with General Dempsey, General Ham and the Joint Staff, we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak. They include a [REDACTED]. Assuming Principals agree to deploy these elements, we will ask State to procure the approval from host nation. Please advise how you wish to convey that approval to us [REDACTED]. Jeremy.”
          The email arrived after the first attack at the consulate, but before the second attack at the the CIA annex. It was during the second attack when Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed by mortar fire while engaging the attackers. That was seven hours after the State Department informed the White House — in writing — that the mission in Benghazi was under attack.
          The revelation of Bash's email appears to vindicate Benghazi whistleblower Gregory Hicks, deputy chief of mission of the U.S. embassy in Tripoli at the time of the attack. During his own testimony in 2013, Hicks claimed he was rebuffed by Washington when he requested a stronger response to the attack, noting that “if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split."    -The Patriot Post

 Fed Judge Denies Texas to Block Syrian Refugee Settlement  
{Warren Mass} ~ U.S. District Judge David Godbey of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order on December 9 denying Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's second application for a temporary restraining order to block the State Department, the International Rescue Committee, and other defendants from resettling Syrian refugees in Texas... Godbey’s decision was in response to a request filed by Paxton on December 9 on behalf of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. In this request, Paxton noted that there was new “evidence” that refugees pose potential danger, and he cited evidence that included statements that “terrorist organizations have infiltrated the very refugee program that is central to the dispute.” Paxton included in his new evidence statements by Representative Mike McCaul (R-Texas), a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, as well as statements of “security concern” by the Texas Department of Public Safety’s deputy director of Homeland Security.       http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/22109-federal-judge-denies-texas-request-to-block-syrian-refugee-settlement?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Read%20on%2E%2E%2E&utm_campaign=Federal%20Judge%20Denies%20Texas%20Request%20to%20Block%20Syrian%20Refugee%20Settlementcontent

 Oil Price Decline Forces Alaska Governor to Propose an Income tax  
{Bob Adelmann} ~ Alaska’s new reality was painfully obvious on Wednesday as Alaska’s Governor Bill Walker rolled out his budget for next year: an income tax (for the first time since 1980)... further budget cuts (he cut $1 billion out of the state’s $5 billion budget last year), increases in the alcohol and cigarette taxes, and a cut in the annual dividend paid to Alaskans from the state’s Permanent Fund. Ever since the Trans-Alaska Pipeline began generating massive revenues in 1976, the state has enjoyed using those revenues to pay for nearly everything. Last year those revenues provided 90 percent of the state government’s budget. This year it will be closer to 75 percent, and if oil and natural gas prices continue their freefall, those revenues will decline further. According to Walker, a 1.5-percent income tax will generate about $200 million, and a cut in the annual dividend payment to Alaskans will save another $650 million. He adds in a generous assumption that there will be another few hundred million to be squeezed out of the government’s budget. Walker is still left with a massive deficit approaching $2.5 billion.       http://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/energy/item/22108-oil-price-decline-forces-alaska-governor-to-propose-an-income-tax?utm_content=Rudy%20Tirre&utm_source=VerticalResponse&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Read%20on%2E%2E%2E&utm_campaign=Federal%20Judge%20Denies%20Texas%20Request%20to%20Block%20Syrian%20Refugee%20Settlementcontent

 nObama Going After Guns Without Congress  
{Trey Sanchez} ~ The Associated Press is reporting that advisers to President nObama, including Valerie Jarrett, are "finalizing a proposal that would expand background checks on gun sales without congressional approval."... After the October shooting at the Oregon community college, nObama demanded "in short order" a proposal from his team for his review. It is reported that the president "was looking for ways to tighten gun laws without a vote in Congress." This would included ways to close the "gun show loophole," which is the left's go-to gun control topic. These proposals are nearly ready for nObama's perusal. In related news, and showing the extremes some on the left are willing to go, certain nObama voters want the president to go all the way -- not stopping at "reasonable regulation" -- but a complete and total ban of every gun in America. When is Congress going to stop this fool?       http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/obama-going-after-guns-without-congress

 nObama Told NSC And FBI To ‘Downplay’ Terrorist Angle...  
{Pamela Geller} ~ This is immoral and evil. The only thing more dangerous than the jihad threat is the jihad threat in the White House... As the mangled broken bodies of Americans at a Christmas party lay in a river of blood, nObama convened a meeting with the National Security Council and the heads of other federal enforcement agencies to discuss a public relations strategy. “A public relations strategy.” Not a counter-terror strategy. Not a plan to fly to San Bernardino to meet with the families of the deceased. Not an emergency meeting to address and and examine his failed policies that led to this catastrophic intel failure. Downplay Islamic terror. More sharia in the wake of jihad slaughter.
.
 Waiting for a commander-in-chief   {Jim Talent} ~ After President nObama’s speech from the Oval Office, it’s evident that his administration is not going to take significant additional steps to deal with ISIS during the next twelve months... That’s disappointing, especially since there are prominent figures on the left in other countries who do recognize the threat posed by ISIS. As an example, watch this stirring speech given by Hillary Benn, the Labour Party’s Shadow Foreign Secretary, in the House of Commons last week. The last few minutes are especially powerful.
nwe0_3IUVqpy9c2cY310k9NztWn3B9i3V0d7OGHXLrLBL0yGoNWzp3yygZatVB3zseT_qOkTfwFOPlFOK6QRnM2a01OwamTw_mNRFIo3Ta3iphRcCJDZK51TMSFN5NZOP8ukjuvPHvn2bg0hlWTxnFLJ1ZEsQEhWQadlhuTTGnk2=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
That makes it even more important that the next president must come into office prepared to defeat ISIS. A good plan will require doing a number of things in a number of places at the same time, and probably for a long time. Here’s a list:       http://www.aei.org/publication/waiting-for-a-commander-in-chief/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=121115

 House Select Committee on Benghazi Interviews Its 61st Witness  
{Kemberlee Kaye} ~ Out of the spotlight, the House Select Committee on Benghazi quietly conducted its sixty-first interview Thursday... “The Select Committee is on track to complete more than 70 witness interviews before releasing its report in just a few months. And while our investigators are still waiting to receive some documents necessary to complete their work, they have already obtained and reviewed roughly 100,000 pages. These witnesses and documents come from the Department of State, the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the White House, the CIA and elsewhere, and the majority of them were never examined by a congressional committee. For example, the Select Committee is the first and only Benghazi investigation to include the Secretary of State’s emails, and the first to request Ambassador Chris Stevens’ emails. This thorough, fact-centered approach to finding the truth will provide the final, definitive accounting of what happened before, during and after the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks, and help prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again.” Yesterday, the Select Committee interviewed its 60th witness to date, questioning Jeffrey Feltman, the former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. This was one of five scheduled interviews announced by the Select Committee last week.        http://legalinsurrection.com/2015/12/house-select-committee-on-benghazi-interviews-its-61st-witness/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

 Palestinians' Biggest Tragedy: Failed Leadership  
{Khaled Abu Toameh} ~ Since June 2013, the Rafah border crossing, the sole crossing point between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, has been closed for most of the time... Last week, the Egyptians opened the border crossing for two days, allowing a few hundred Palestinians to cross in both directions. These figures indicate that the Egyptians have stepped up security measures along their shared border with the Gaza Strip over the past few years. In addition to the continued closure of the Rafah terminal, the Egyptian army continues to destroy dozens of smuggling tunnels between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. In recent weeks, the Egyptians have been pumping seawater into the tunnels, causing most of them to collapse.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/7028/palestinians-failed-leadership

 Dem Senator wants to make it much harder to screen immigrants  
{Jeff Dunetz} ~ Talk about being out of touch with America. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has added an amendment to a bill on Nuclear safety... It’s a “sense of the senate bill” (a collective opinion of the senate) that the U.S. government should be stopped from barring any individual from entering the country based on their religion. While on first glance it seems not so bad, Leahy’s amendment is a first possible step toward stopping the government for example, from banning a proven follower of radical Islam from moving to the United States. The original bill, S-1318 was written to outlaw transporting any WMD material into the country on a ship. So the Leahy amendment has nothing to do with the bill.  “Sense of” resolutions can also be added as amendments to regular House or Senate bills. Even when added to regular bills, “sense of” amendments have no force law. But that doesn’t mean that if it gets enough support, after passing,  a “sense of” amendment can’t be reintroduced as a regular bill. By the way “sense of” bills only need 50 votes (no filibuster). Also, foreign governments pay close attention to them as evidence of shifts in U.S. foreign policy priorities. So it sends the message to ISIS come on down and visit America.

 Wishing Terrorism Away  
{Larry Elder} ~ When asked why President Barack nObama insisted on pursuing a nuclear deal with Iran, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said... "I think that the pursuit of the agreement is based on the President's hope that over a 10-year period with the sanctions being lifted that the Iranians will become a constructive stakeholder in the international community. That — that as their economy begins to grow again, that — that they will abandon their ideology, their theology, their revolutionary principles, their meddling in various parts of the region. And, frankly, I believe that's very unrealistic." The very morning of the Paris attacks, nObama called ISIS/ISIL "contained." And hours before last month's al-Qaida-claimed hotel attacks in the capital of Mali, Africa, which killed 20, Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry pronounced al-Qaida "neutralized." Even after the Paris attacks, nObama summoned only enough indignation to describe the attacks as a "setback." Meanwhile, the equally leftist, equally anti-war French president Francois Hollande called the attacks an "act of war," and promised, "France, because it was foully, disgracefully and violently attacked, will be unforgiving with the barbarians from Daesh (ISIS)."

 The Muslim Brotherhood's Plan for America  
{Onan Coca} ~ Brigitte Gabriel is one of the world’s leading defenders of speech and women’s rights. She is the President of ACT for America and she was recently speaking at the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall conference... Her speech was about the threat of radical Islam, and she focused on the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for our nation. In 2004, federal investigators discovered a Muslim Brotherhood memorandum during a search of a northern Virginia home. The memorandum, written by Mohamed Akram for the Muslim Brotherhood’s Shura Council, described a “civilization jihad” aimed at North America. It stated: “The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” This explanatory memorandum also included a list of 29 Muslim Brotherhood connected organizations in the U.S. The memorandum was entered into evidence at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial in 2007-2008. You can see the plan here.

{washingtonpost.com} ~ Sen. Tim Scott, who evidently has not received the memo explaining that politics is a grim and bitter business, laughs easily and often, as when, during lunch in this city’s humming downtown, he explains that South Carolina’s Low country is benefiting from what are called “halfbacks.” These are migrants who moved from Northern states to Florida in search of warmth but, finding high prices and congestion, then moved halfway back, settling in South Carolina. Doing so, they have located in the state where, Scott believes and history suggests, the 2016 Republican presidential nomination will begin to come to closure.
.
Since picking Ronald Reagan over John Connally and George H.W. Bush in 1980, South Carolina’s Republican primary electorate has sided with the eventual nominee every four years, with the exception of 2012, when Newt Gingrich from neighboring Georgia was rewarded for denouncing as “despicable” a journalist’s question during a debate here. This year, South Carolina votes just 10 days before the selection of convention delegates accelerates with the March 1 “SEC primary,” so named because five of the 12 primaries that day are in Southern states represented in that football conference.
.
The Human Snarl, a.k.a. Donald Trump, is leading polls here, where South Carolinians share the national consensus that, in Scott’s mild words, “however it is today is not the way it should be.” But it remains to be seen whether Republicans will vote for Trump while so warmly embracing the senator who is his stylistic antithesis. Scott is “an unbridled optimist” (his description) who thinks Republican chances in 2016 depend on whether their nominee is an “aspirational leader” or someone “selling fear.” Scott’s un-Trumpian demeanor is both a cause and an effect of his popularity: He was elected with 61 percent of the vote last year to complete the term of a senator who resigned. Which is why 13 of the Republican presidential candidates have eagerly accepted his invitations to hold town meetings with him. He took Ohio Gov. John Kasich to Hilton Head because it has so many Ohioans, some of them halfbacks. All the candidates covet Scott’s endorsement, which will happen only if, as the Feb. 20 vote draws near, polls show a close race, perhaps a four-point difference between the leaders.
.
This could be a choice between two of Scott’s Senate colleagues, Florida’s Marco Rubio and Texas’s Ted Cruz. If, he says, South Carolinians choose well — “not sending independents fleeing in the opposite direction” — the United States will be en route to a Republican presidency.
.
Scott, 50, became a congressman by defeating in a Republican primary the son of Strom Thurmond, the Dixiecrat presidential candidate in 1948 and then eight-term U.S. senator. In 2013, Scott became the second African American Republican senator since Reconstruction (Ed Brooke of Massachusetts was the first), and today he and New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker are the Senate’s only African Americans.
.
Henry Olsen of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, whose specialty is conservative politics, says that among the four states that vote in February (the others are Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada), South Carolina’s electorate “best mirrors the nation’s.”
.
Writing for National Review Online, Olsen says the state’s primary electorate closely reflects the national balance among the GOP’s four factions — “moderates and liberals” (32 percent), “somewhat conservatives” (32 percent), “very conservative evangelicals” (28 percent) and “very conservative seculars” (6 percent). Iowa, says Olsen, favors candidates who are very religious and conservative, New Hampshire favors moderates, Nevada favors conservative seculars. Here, however, a dominant cohort is that which Olsen calls the national party’s “ballast” — the “somewhat conservatives.”
.
South Carolina’s primary 11 weeks from now will be as distant from the state’s 1980 primary that chose Reagan as Reagan’s first presidential victory later that year was from Franklin Roosevelt’s last victory in 1944. And when South Carolina voted in 1980, the huge and still growing Boeing plant in North Charleston, the investment by Mercedes to build a plant in North Charleston and the BMW plant in Spartanburg were still in its future. As were the halfbacks who are another reason South Carolina no longer has stereotypical Deep South demographics.
.
And why whichever Republican wins here will have done so in the first 2016 contest that approximates the electorates of the swing states that will determine the 45th president. This fact must be deeply satisfying to 43-year-old Nikki Haley, South Carolina’s Indian American governor, and to Scott, who was born 44 days after enactment of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that made all of this possible.

President Obama’s design in ‘transforming America’ as promised is in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and is continuing with Democrat Sen. Leahy.

Under Leahy’s minority and majority leadership, Sen. Leahy has been successful is swaying  (RINO) Republicans into voting ‘AYE’ in confirming President Obama’s ‘left-wing’ appointees as some Senate ‘RINO’ Republicans have lost their earlier principles.  Sen. Leahy has been successful in ‘improperly’ destroying qualified and honorable GOP appointees.

‘Sitting’ GOP Senators who voted ‘AYE’ in supporting a few of Obama’s nominees includes:

Alexander (R-TN), Collins (R-ME), and Graham (R-SC) voted to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to SCOTUS.  

Collins (R-ME), and Graham (R-SC) voted to confirm Elena Kagan to SCOTUS.

Ayotte (R-NH), Cochran (R-MS), Collins (R-ME),  Flake (R-AZ), Graham (R-SC), Hatch (R-UT), Johnson (R-WI), Kirk (R-IL), McConnell (R-KY), and Portman (R-OH) voted to confirm Loretta E. Lynch  as Attorney General.

Many GOP members on Capitol Hill were elected as Conservatives; later to vacate their traditional values and become ‘RINO’ Republicans.

Regardless, elected Republicans on Capitol Hill who support Democrat Party’s left-wing legislation(s) on a regular basis continue to get equal shares of (y)our Republican Party’s GOP money.

Oh isn’t it great that this Muslim woman is seated as a judge over the people of the United States and that she affirmed her oath with the Koran? Let me ask you a few questions if you don’t mind.

Question: How would she judge those that appear before her if she already has a preconceived belief that a non-Muslim cannot be judged innocent?

He that chooses a religion over Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the world to come he will be one of the lost.

Quran 3:85, "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 60

Question: If one is to testify in her court how are they to “swear to tell the truth” are they to swear on that persons believe structure or the Koran?

 

This Book is not to be doubted.... As for the unbelievers, it is the same whether or not you forewarn them; they will not have faith. God has set a seal upon their hearts and ears; their sight is dimmed and grievous punishment awaits them. 

Quran 2:1/2:6-2:10; "The Cow," Dawood, pp. 1-2

If you doubt what We have revealed to Our servant, produce one chapter comparable to it. Call upon your idols to assist you, if what you say be true. But if you fail (as you are sure to fail) then guard yourselves against the Fire whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the unbelievers.

Quran 2:23-4, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 3

It is not for true believers men or women to take their choice in the affairs if God and His apostle decree otherwise. He that disobeys God and His apostle strays far indeed.

Quran 33:36, "The Confederate Tribes," Dawood, p. 422

How will she treat those that work beside her or as her subordinates, If they are not Muslim?

Let not believers make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful - he that does this has nothing to hope for from Good - except in self-defense. God admonishes you to fear Him: for to God shall all return.

Quran 3:28; "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 52

How are you as a defendant if found guilty be sentenced in her court since you are not a Muslim?

God's curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls. To deny God's own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred God's most inexorable wrath. An ignominious punishment awaits the unbelievers.

Quran 2:89-2:90, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 13

Lord...Give us victory over the unbelievers.

Quran 2:286, "The Cow," Dawood, p. 46

"Lord...give us victory over the unbelievers."

Quran 3:148, "The Imrans," Dawood, p. 67

Do you believe that you would be given leniency in her court?

I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.

Quran 8:12, "The Spoils," Dawood, p. 177

Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.

Quran 9:73, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 198

Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous.

Quran 9:123, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 206

Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron.

Whenever, in their anguish, they try to escape from Hell, back they shall be dragged, and will be told: "Taste the torment of the Conflagration!"

Quran 22:19-20, "The Pilgrimage," Dawood, p. 333

Do you believe she will treat you fairly?

Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.

Quran 48:29, "Victory," Dawood, p. 514

For all those who wish to not believe in a deity, How would she see you before her court?

Those that deny Our revelations We will burn in fire. No sooner will their skins be consumed than We shall give them other skins, so that they may truly taste the scourge. God is mighty and wise.

Quran 4:56, "Women," Dawood, p. 86

For all who have served our nation, how will you be treated in her court?

Those that make war against God and His apostle and spread disorder in the land shall be slain and crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land.

Quran 5:33, "The Table," Dawood, p. 112

When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly.

Quran 47:4, "Muhammad," Dawood, p. 506

Let not the unbelievers think that they will ever get away. They have not the power to do so. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy...

Quran 8:59-60, "The Spoils," Dawood, p. 183

If you are a Christian of any denomination or a Jew, how will you be treated in her court?

Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. God does not guide the wrong-doers.

Quran 5:51, "The Table," Dawood, p. 116

As a non-believer do you think she will be nonjudgmental to you?

Believers, know that the idolaters [non-Muslims] are unclean. Let them not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year is ended.

Quran 9:28, "Repentance," Dawood, p. 190

The unbelievers among the People of the Book [Bible] and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.

Quran 98:6, "The Proof," Dawood, p. 598

How would she judge equal rights in a court room during a case involving battery of a woman?

Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and forsake them in beds apart, and beat them.

Quran 4:34, "Women," Dawood, p. 83

[Forbidden to you are] married women, except those whom you own as slaves.

Quran 4:24, "Women," Dawood, p. 81

If you fear that you cannot treat [orphan girls] with fairness, then you may marry other women who seem good to you: two, three, or four of them. But if you fear that you cannot maintain equality among them, marry one only or any slave-girl you may own.

Quran 4:3, "Women," Dawood, p. 76

And this is the person that she puts all her faith in as described: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64

It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.

Ayatollah Khomeini

If this be true how is it that she should be judge over men?

Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

How long do you think she will maintain her oath under the constitution?

Sharia [Islamic law] is totally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. Women are inferior under Islamic law—their testimony in a court of law is worth half that of a man; their movement is strictly restricted; they cannot marry non-Muslims. Non-Muslims living in Muslim countries also have inferior status under Islamic law; they may not testify against a Muslim. In Saudi Arabia, following a tradition of Muhammad, who said that "two religions cannot exist in the country of Arabia," non-Muslims are forbidden to practice their religion, build houses of worship, possess religious texts, etc. Non-believers or atheists in Muslim countries do not have "the right to life"; all the major law schools, whether Sunni or Shia, agree that they are to be killed. (Muslim doctors of law generally divide sins into great sins and little sins. Of the 17 great sins, unbelief is the greatest, more heinous than murder, theft, adultery, etc.) Slavery is recognized as legitimate in the Koran. Muslim men are allowed to cohabit with any of their female slaves, and they are allowed to take possession even of married female slaves. One does not have the right to change one’s religion if one is born into a Muslim family; here is how the great commentator Baydawi sees the matter: "Whosoever turns back from his belief, openly or secretly, take him and kill him wheresoever you find him, like any other infidel. Separate yourself from him altogether. Do not accept intercession in his regard." And here are the punishments in store for transgressors against the Holy Law: amputation, flogging, crucifixion, and stoning to death.

Ibn Warraq, "The Two Faces of Feisal Rauf"


 

28 U.S. Code § 453 - Oaths of justices and judges

Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office: “I, ___ ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as ___ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 907; Pub. L. 101–650, title IV, § 404, Dec. 1, 1990, 104 Stat. 5124.)

 

Which God?

It is my understanding that she swore this oath on the Koran and not the Holy Christian Bible. Why?

Muslims do not speak of God as their heavenly Father. In the Islamic faith, Allah is not only a different name for god; the deity it designates is far more impersonal than the God of the Bible. Father—the very name that Jesus gave us as the designated name for use in prayer—is a name that simply does not fit Allah as depicted in the Quran.

Furthermore, Muslims claim that Allah has no son. This represents a head-on collision between the God of the Bible and Allah. For, as the Bible makes clear, the one and only true God is most perfectly revealed as the Father of the Son, Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of John, Jesus repeatedly teaches that no one has truly known the Father, except by the Son. In one of the most clarifying verses in the New Testament, Jesus declared Himself to be “the way, and the truth, and the life,” adding, “No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).

Because Muslims deny that God has a son, they explicitly reject any Trinitarian language. From the very starting point, Islam denies what Christianity takes as its central truth claim: the fact that Jesus Christ is the only begotten of the Father. If Allah has no son, then Allah is not the God who reveals Himself through the Son. How then can calling God “Allah” not lead to anything but confusion—and worse?

Islam teaches that the doctrine of the Trinity is blasphemous. But the Christian faith is essentially and irreducibly Trinitarian. The Bible reveals that the Father is God, that the Son is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. Jesus is not merely a prophet, as acknowledged by Muslims, He is God in human flesh. This is precisely what Islam rejects.

The Trinitarian language is the language of the Bible, and it is essential to Christianity. Indeed, the Christian faith points to Christ and announces that we can only know the Father through the Son. Confusing the God of the Bible with Allah of the Quran is not only a mistake, it is a dangerous distortion of the Gospel of Christ.

The Trinitarian nature of God is embedded within the Great Commission. Jesus tells His disciples to go into the world and make disciples of all nations and to baptize them “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). Christians are those who bear the names of God even in our baptism, and those names are Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Our challenge is to speak truthfully about God, and the only way we can do that is to use the names God gave Himself. The God of the Bible is not Allah, and Allah is not the God of the Bible. Any confusion about that undermines the very Gospel we preach.

CSPI states that Political Islam:

Islam is a cultural, religious and political system. Only the political system is of interest to kafirs (non-Muslims) since it determines how we are defined and treated. The Islamic political system is contained in the Koran, the Hadith (the traditions of Mohammed) and his biography, the Sira.

Political Islam is the doctrine that relates to the unbeliever, the kafir. Islam’s relationship to the kafir cannot be religious since a Muslim is strictly forbidden to have any religious interaction with them The religion of Islam is what is required for a Muslim to avoid Hell and enter Paradise.

The Trilogy not only advocates a religious superiority over the kafir—the kafirs go to Hell whereas Muslims go to Paradise—but also its doctrine demands that Muslims dominate the kafir in all politics and culture. This domination is political, not religious.

As mentioned earlier, the Koran has 61% of its text devoted to the kafir. The Sira (Mohammed’s biography) has about 75% of its text devoted to the kafir and jihad.

Islam’s success comes primarily from its politics. In thirteen years as a spiritual leader, Mohammed converted 150 people to his religion. When he became a political leader and warrior, Islam exploded in growth, and Mohammed became king of Arabia in ten years.

Islam has a complete doctrine of how to treat the kafir that is found in the Trilogy.

3. Kafirs

Non-believers are so important that they have several names. Christians and Jews are called People of the Book or infidels. Other religious names for non-Muslims are atheist, polytheist, and pagan. But the Koran uses one word that includes all of the religious names. That name is kafir, an Arabic word.

Kafir is usually translated as unbeliever, but that translation is wrong. Unbeliever is a neutral word. The Koran is very clear about the kafir. Indeed, the Koran defines the kafir by how it speaks of them. Kafirs are the lowest and worst form of life. Kafirs can be robbed, murdered, tortured, enslaved, crucified and more. Later in this chapter, more of the Koran’s doctrine of the kafir is given in some detail. But the key point is that a kafir is not only a non-Muslim, but also a person who falls under a different moral code from the Muslim.

The Koran is devoted to the division between those who believe Mohammed, Muslims, and those who do not, kafirs. This grand division of the Koran means that there are two points of view of the Koran—the view of the Muslim and the view of the kafir.

4. Dualism

The third principle is duality, and is unique to Islam. As an example, here is a verse from the Koran:

109:2 I do not worship what you worship, and you do not worship what I worship. I will never worship what you worship, and you will never worship what I worship. You to your religion, me to my religion.

This sounds very tolerant, but this verse was written later:

9:5 When the sacred months are passed, kill the kafirs wherever you find them. Take them as captives, besiege them, and lie in wait for them with every kind of ambush. If they submit to Islam, observe prayer, and pay the poor tax, then let them go their way. Allah is gracious and merciful.

Now we have absolute intolerance. This contradiction is normal for the Koran and is even addressed in the Koran. The solution to contradiction is called abrogation where the later verse is better than the earlier verse.

The logic here is very important. Since Allah is perfect and the Koran is the exact words of Allah, then both contradictory verses are true, but the later verse is better or stronger. This leads to dualistic logic where two contradictory facts can both be true.

5. Submission

Islam means submission and Muslim means one who has submitted. It is clearly stated in the Trilogy that all kafirs and their civilizations must be annihilated. Mohammed’s success depended on violence to persuade kafirs that he was the prophet of Allah.

Submission is political, as well as religious. Islam demands that kafirs submit in every aspect of public life.  Every part of kafir culture is an offense to Allah.

The Oath states that:

“and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as ___ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

The God referred to here is the God of Christians and Jews. Not Allah.

The constitution states that all are “endowed by their creator” which refers to the God of the Jews and Christians.

Is her oath valid, I would say no. It is not valid.

Trump – All Sound Bite and No Substance

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

oht-1.jpg?width=244There can be no two people happier about Donald Trump’s empty rhetoric this week than Obama and Hillary Clinton and while Trump continues to grin like the cat that swallowed the media canary, people who should care about real issues are being bamboozled.

For once, Obama doesn’t even have to concoct a distraction…Trump is handling that for him.

Was Trump right to state that we should put a temporary ban on Muslim immigration and employ profiling to minimize future jihadis entering our nation?

Yes, but he missed the key reason why…that being that we are engaged in a war against an ideology and not a religion as Islam is the former and not the latter but Trump has not explained himself and why should he? His Trumpers are eating it up and the media is talking about nothing else.

There’s a reason for that and I suspect Trump has been paying a staff to do nothing but look at social media to discern what Conservatives are calling for. Notice how Trump has yet to put forth an original idea. He takes whatever is the hot-button topic of the week and puffs himself up over it spewing rhetoric with no substance behind it.

Build a wall…make Mexico pay for it.

How?

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

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

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

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

 NSA's needle in a haystack

Except for the government... Since Edward Snowden revealed the federal government’s unlawful and unconstitutional use of federal statutes to justify spying on all in America all the time, including the members of Congress who unwittingly wrote and passed the statutes, I have been arguing that the Fourth Amendment prohibits all domestic spying, except that which has been authorized by a search warrant issued by a judge. The same amendment also requires that warrants be issued only based on a serious level of individualized suspicion backed up by evidence – called probable cause – and the warrants must specifically identify the place and person to be spied upon. Because these requirements are in the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, Congress and the president and the courts are bound by them. There is no emergency or public safety or wartime exception to them. These requirements cannot be changed by legislation; only a constitutional amendment, ratified by the legislatures of 37 states, can do so.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/nsas-needle-in-a-haystack/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Islamic State's money-makers take a hit

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

STOP THE TPP

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

 

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

Help us to restore moral responsibly in America. http://billmoyers.com/episode/bernie-sanders-breaking-big-moneys-grip-elections/. Become an activist for Bernie Sanders.

http://billmoyers.com/episode/steve-fraser-new-robber-barons/

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

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

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

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

Join the revolution and re-store the American dream.

STOP POLICE BRUTALITY AND ALL THE KILLINGS

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

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

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

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

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

OPEN LETTER TO ALL THE SENATORS.

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

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

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

Open Letter to all members of the Senate.

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

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

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

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

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

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