nObama's Oil Boom?
In advance of his State of the Union speech on Jan. 20, Barack nObama and his propaganda machine are in high gear, claiming credit for, among other things, lower fuel prices. Though nObama has erected an insurmountable gauntlet to oil and gas exploration leases, he recently claimed, "We're saving drivers about 70 cents a gallon at the pump." Really? Who is "we"? And this week, after reaffirming his commitment to veto the Keystone XL pipeline project, nObama had the unmitigated audacity to again claim credit for the additional drop in prices: "America is the number one producer of oil, the number one producer of gas. That's helping to save drivers about $1.10 a gallon at the pump over this time last year." Recall if you will that when nObama entered office, gasoline cost about $1.60 per gallon. In four short years, on top of the deepening nObama recession, his severe constriction on oil production increased the price to more than $4.00 a gallon. Ahead of the 2012 election, nObama declared, "We can't just drill our way to lower gas prices. ... [Republicans] are dusting off their three-point plan for $2 gas." Currently the average price for a gallon of gas is under $2 in 18 states. But for the record, oil production on government land is down 16% since 2009, while oil production on private land has increased 61%. Those gains are despite nObama's obstruction of oil exploration. -The Patriot Post
Anti-Gunners Snipe at a Patriot
"American Sniper," the film based on the true story of Navy sniper Chris Kyle and his book of the same name, hits theaters Thursday. Kyle served with the SEAL Team 3 Sniper Element Charlie platoon and was the most lethal sniper in U.S. history. He accumulated 160 confirmed kills and another 95 probables, and was known to his enemies as Al-Shaitan Ramad (The Devil of Ramadi). Though he survived numerous harrowing encounters in Iraq, sadly, he was killed by a vet suffering from PTSD here in the States. That story is, in part, why the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has provided a Facebook forum for anti-gun jackasses to swap spit over the movie and Kyle's death. "Good Riddance," jeered one. "What goes around comes around," derided another. Chris Walker, executive director of 2nd Vote, said, "Americans' voices don't end on Election Day, they continue with the dollars they spend every day. The companies and groups that are financially supporting outrageous comments like these need to explain why they continue to receive their support or risk a financial backlash as consumers might choose to take their money elsewhere." Indeed, such hateful sentiment deserves scorn of its own. -The Patriot Post
Coming to a State Near You: The Gun Safety-ers
Gun control should only mean hitting your target. So, facing numerous public debate defeats, gun grabbers have rebranded. They will target individual states and will refer to themselves as advocates of gun safety because it's such a cuddly term. Who could be against gun safety? Sure, we're all for gun safety: Always assume the gun is loaded, keep your finger off the trigger and never leave your firearms in a place where children could discover them -- especially if the child is 75, in Congress and wants to mess with your guns. But the "safety" for which gun grabbers advocate is the iron fist of the government deciding who deserves the right to bear arms. President of Everytown for Gun Safety John Feinblatt told The New York Times that gun grabbers looked to the success of leftist crusades like same-sex marriage for their new strategy. "The arc of the marriage-equality movement started in the federal government, and got them the Defense of Marriage Act," he said. "Then they went to the states and showed that if you can get the majority of the public on your side state by state, that will influence the courts and Congress in the end." Of course, same-sex marriage advocates more often than not won by going to activist judges first, only later winning public opinion through guilt and intimidation. Let's hope support for the Second Amendment is stronger than that. More... -The Patriot Post
Goober Jimmy Carter Speaks About Charlie Hebdo Attack
The goober farmer stumbled into the national spotlight to talk about the Charlie Hebdo attack by defending Barack nObama and blaming Israel. "I don't think there's any need for criticism," former president Jimmy Carter said of nObama's decision to skip going to Paris. "The president sometimes can't go where he'd prefer to go. He's just come back from vacation so I think he's probably got a lot on his desk." See? According to the least successful president in American history, the president's ways are higher than our ways. The next day, the addlepated ex-president blamed all attacks by violent Islamists on the Jews. Carter appeared on Jon Stewart's comedy news show to say, "Well, one of the origins for it is the Palestinian problem. And this aggravates people who are affiliated in any way with the Arab people who live in the West Bank and Gaza, what they are doing now -- what's being done to them." Two French Muslims attacked a French paper known for its blistering satire about any religion, including Jews, Christians and Muslims. And Carter says the attack has Israel written all over it? -The Patriot Post
Even the King of England Had No Power to Suspend Laws
Depending on who you ask, Barack nObama has done what King George III never did. Joel Gehrke writes at National Review, "[A]n expert at the Law Library of Congress -- a non-partisan branch of the Library of Congress that has advised Congress and the Supreme Court since 1832 -- tackled a slightly different question: What would George III do when faced with a law he didn't like? Not even the King of England at the time of the American Revolution had the authority to suspend laws unilaterally, the Law Library expert wrote in a memorandum to the Senate committee tasked with responding to President nObama's recent executive orders on the enforcement of immigration law." But yet, nObama claims he can unilaterally decide who his administration will deport and who will remain de facto citizens -- even if they came into this country illegally. nObama has become the king the Founders warned about.

Duck Dynasty’s Phil: They Didn’t Want Us to Pray ‘In Jesus’ Name’
(Michael W. Chapman)- Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson said that when the Duck Dynasty show began on A&E in 2012, the video editors, based in Los Angeles, would often take out the words “in Jesus’ name” from the family prayer scene...because they thought the name “Jesus” might “offend some of the Muslims or something.” Robertson said he advised the show’s producers, in West Monroe, La., that they and the entire world kept time, the “year of Our Lord,” A.D., Anno Domini, based upon Jesus Christ and that it would not hurt to “throw His name in there from time to time,” and he noted that this example represented, the “spiritual warfare” that is always occurring. http://cnsnews.com/blog/michael-w-chapman/duck-dynasty-s-phil-they-didn-t-want-us-pray-jesus-name-not-offend-some

Republican Writes Bombshell Handbook on Immigration
(shawn) - Lower wages, higher unemployment, and a heavier tax burden. Those are the trio of “benefits” American citizens enjoy as a result of President nObama’s executive amnesty...according to a new handbook written by Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions. Sessions, one of the administration’s fiercest critics on the subject of illegal immigration, delivered the handbook on Monday to Republican congressman. Entitled “Immigration Handbook for the New Republican Majority,” it is a 25-page roadmap outlining what Sessions believes should be the GOP position on immigration. “The largest untapped constituency in American politics are the 300 million American citizens who have been completely left out of the immigration debate,” Sessions says in the handbook. “Speak to that constituency—with clarity and compassion—and change the issue forever.” http://unfilteredpatriot.com/republican-writes-bombshell-handbook-on-immigration/

Bret Baier of FOX no Longer Fair and Balanced on Homosexuality
(Bryan Fischer) - Last year, Bret Baier, one of Fox News’ most popular anchors, told a fan that he tries to play it right down the middle. “I truly try not to lean. I have thoughts and feelings about things…I try to keep them to myself…I am a registered independent.” It looks like Mr. Baier may have to hand in his independent registration form, at least on the issue of human sexuality. He has taken sides, as we all must do at some point, on the issue of homosexuality. And he has chosen the wrong side. He has reneged on a commitment he made to speak at the 2015 Legatus Summit. The problem? Legatus, as an orthodox Catholic organization for laymen and laywomen, believes that marriage is the union of one man and one woman and that sexual expression should be reserved for marriage. http://sonsoflibertymedia.com/2015/01/bret-baier-fox-news-no-longer-fair-balanced-homosexuality/

nObama's New Push: Paid Family, Sick Leave
(Jenn Gidman) - One of the first steps President nObama took in 2015 was to propose free community college. Now he's expected to announce today that he'll direct federal agencies to offer employees up to six weeks of paid leave after the birth or adoption of a child, the New York Times reports...He'll also ask Congress to pass a bill that would let workers earn up to seven paid sick days a year, setting up a $2 billion incentive fund to assist states that set up family leave programs. The move was announced in a LinkedIn blog post last night by Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, who had this to say about the announcement venue: "This is the very first place we're breaking this news because you're in the best position to drive change," she writes to the professionals and companies that frequent the site. http://www.newser.com/story/201322/obamas-new-push-paid-family-sick-leave.html

The Biggest Conservative Group In Congress Is Breaking Up
(W. James Antle III) - The Beatles broke up. So, eventually, did Led Zeppelin. The biggest conservative caucus in Congress appears to be next...House conservatives are planning what National Journal described as a “mass exodus” from the Republican Study Committee. The departing lawmakers complain that the RSC has stopped fighting for its founding principles– much like the Republican Party itself. Unlike the Beatles, the RSC isn’t going away. But dissatisfied conservatives are going to start a splinter group of their own. http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/14/the-biggest-conservative-group-in-congress-is-breaking-up/?advD=1248%2C48782&bt_alias=eyJ1c2VySWQiOiJjNTliYzIxYy1kM2ZhLTQ5MWMtYjhmZC02M2M2MjhjYzNjZjMifQ%3D%3D#mnetint

Iraq War Vet Senator Rips Barack H. nObama to Shreds
(conservativetribune.com)A U.S. senator who served in the Iraq War has accused President Barack nObama of putting his own interests ahead of what’s best of the country...Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan as a U.S. Army officer, said that nObama is “risking our national security to secure a presidential legacy” — namely, a nuclear deal with Iran. Rather than continuing to heed administration requests that Congress refrain from taking any action against the Islamic country lest it push them away from the negotiating table, Cotton argued that congressional action against Iran is overdue. http://conservativetribune.com/iraq-vet-senator-rips-obama/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzEmail&utm_content=936184&utm_campaign=0

Creeping Anti-Israelism in the Evangelical Movement
(Jim Fletcher) - The tentacles of anti-Jewish fervor are seemingly everywhere. Not even the American Church is immune from the sickness of anti-Semitism, and tracing the networks can be a fascinating exercise...They are so diverse, and so unequally yoked in various ways. But they are all linked by a dislike of Jews and Israel. So it is that I spend much of my time now researching the decline of Israel support, specifically within American Evangelicalism, once a stronghold of support for the Jewish state. From visits to captured Palestinian weaponry and propaganda literature displayed in Israel, to sitting in on evangelical leadership conferences that feature anti-Israel speakers, watching the erosion of support for Israel is jarring. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/jim-fletcher/creeping-anti-israelism-in-the-evangelical-movement/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=723a7e0522-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-723a7e0522-156509103

How the Islamic Republic Is Shaping Iraq & Syria
(Majid Rafizadeh) - It appears that President nObama continues to believe that resuming diplomatic relationships with the Iranian ruling clerics — through efforts such as striking a final nuclear deal, lifting the UN Security Council sanctions, directly or indirectly cooperating with the Iranian military in the region — is an informed policy...This position has led to the unprecedented level of compromises being made on the part of the nObama administration. Some of these compromises are not written in contracts or papers, but are applied implicitly behind-the-scenes and through weak leadership in the Middle East. This strategic, geopolitical and security gamble has resulted in turning a blind eye to the Iranian cleric establishment’s role in the region, primarily in Iraq and Syria. The Islamic Republic has profited from the civil war in Iraq and instability in the region. Although President nObama is planning to send thousands of troops to Iraq to train Iraqi forces, it is the Islamic Republic which has recently signed an agreement with Iraq to allow Iran to take covert control of Iraq’s security and military establishments. After the agreement Iraqi Defense Minister Khalid al-Obeidi stated, “We assume Iran’s increased support for the Iraqi armed forces as a strategic necessity,” http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/majid-rafizadeh/how-the-islamic-republic-is-shaping-iraq-syria/?utm_source=FrontPage+Magazine&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=723a7e0522-Mailchimp_FrontPageMag&utm_term=0_57e32c1dad-723a7e0522-156509103

Hezbollah prepared for war deep into Israel, beyond the Galilee
(YASSER OKBI/ MAARIV HASHAVUA) - Hezbollah is prepared for military intervention in Israel's Galilee and beyond, deeper into Israeli territory, the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah said in an interview with Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen TV to be aired Thursday evening... "We have made all necessary preparations for a future war with Israel," Nasrallah said. He vowed that the group would not stay quiet in the face of attacks attributed to Israel in Syria. "We will provide an answer for every attack against Syria," he said. http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Nasrallah-Hezbollah-prepared-for-war-deep-into-Israel-beyond-the-Galilee-387826?utm_source=Newsletter+1-15-2015&utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=email

President nObama's Gas-Drilling Dance
(Ben Geman) - President nObama is doing a two-step when it comes to fossil fuels. nObama and White House officials clear their throats by praising the oil and gas boom, and even taking a measure of credit for it, before moving on to the specific topic at hand...There has been a surge in domestic oil and gas production. Gasoline prices keep falling. The natural-gas boom has helped the manufacturing sector. And the combination of oil-production increases and low prices has boosted the U.S.'s foreign policy leverage against petro-states. But applause for expanded oil and gas drilling is an awkward fit with the president's desire to leave a green legacy and battle climate change. The White House celebrates the natural-gas boom, so why is it hitting industry with new regulations? http://www.nationaljournal.com/daily/president-obama-s-gas-drilling-dance-20150114
Our Political Class: 114th Congress
Alan Caruba
(factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - I have a theory that ties in with backstabber John Boehner’s third election as Speaker of the House on Tuesday.
Could it be that the newly elected congressmen and women are greeted by one of the members who has been there long enough to be the chairperson of one of the many committees of the House and quickly informed that they now belong to a very exclusive group in which they can, with relative safety, ignore the voters who just elected them?
In the House there were 58 freshman members and in the Senate, there were 13, some of whom were formerly members of the House. In total, the opening session of Congress welcomed 246 Republicans and 188 Democrats.
Those contesting for the job of Speaker in addition to backstabber Boehner were Reps. Ted Yoho and Daniel Webster of Florida and Louie Gohmert of Texas. The Democrats nominated Rep. Nancy Pulosi. Four Democrats did not vote for her. Meanwhile Webster received 12 votes, Gohmert earned three, and Yoho won 2. Of the 408 votes cast, backstabber Boehner won 216.
My other theory is that enough members of the House had concluded that backstabber Boehner had done as good a job as possible under the circumstances and saw no reason to turn the job of Speaker over to someone who might rock the boat. His opposition came mostly from the strongly conservative bloc in the House.
What we likely have in the 114th Congress is a very pragmatic leadership who are not likely to do anything dramatic regarding immigration, energy, or any of the other issues about which conservatives want action. In both the House and the Senate, they know what they are up against. They will put forward legislation, but all it will do is demonstrate what we already know about nObama.
In his first speech on the floor of the Senate, Mitch McConnell (KY-R), the Majority Leader, said “Bipartisan compromise may not come easily for the President. The President’s supporters are pressing for militancy these days, not compromise.” Those supporters are the Far Left. I doubt that he or backstabber John Boehner met with the President that much over the past six years.
The Founding Fathers created a republic in which the business of legislating was intended to move slowly, subject to debate and the need for compromise. nObama has made it clear he has no intention to work with Congress, especially now that it is controlled by the GOP. So gridlock will continue and conservatives will stay angry.
Regarding my theory that our political class doesn’t really worry that much about what the voters want, do you recall the omnibus budget that was passed in the last hours of the previous Congress? That was 2,000-plus pages crammed full of things we are not likely to ever learn about until well after the money is spent. Does that suggest that the members of Congress think it wiser to keep us in the dark? Yes.
Think of it another way, Over the course of the last six years with nObama as President, the House passed some fifty resolutions calling for the repeal of nObamaCare. Were we supposed to take that seriously? Are we going to see legislation repealing, for instance, nObamacare’s medical device tax? Maybe. I will be very interested to see any legislation aimed at undermining nObamaCare because I believe the 114th Congress would prefer to wait for the courts to do that for them.
backstabber Boehner knew early on that nObama was a President who had little regard for Congress or, for that matter, the Constitution.
Despite a major rejection of the Democratic Party and nObama’s policies in the 2013 midterm elections, nObama has been acting as if the Party won those elections and they had confirmed his agenda. He has let it be known he has no intention of negotiating, preferring to use his veto power, unilateral executive orders, and to get what he wants via various federal agency regulations.
One of the most important functions of the 114th Congress will be oversight of departments and agencies. Has anyone heard from the Justice Department’s Lois Lerner lately? Any word about the Benghazi tragedy?
Little wonder that, after being elected to his third term as Speaker, backstabber Boehner said “All I ask is that we disagree without being disagreeable.” There are 435 members in the House of Representatives and backstabber Boehner is responsible primarily for its Republican members. If there are Democrats who are willing to cross the aisle, he will welcome their votes. As in the Senate, they will be needed on occasion.
Regarding the passage of legislation, backstabber Boehner said “It’s the real work. It’s a grind. The battle of ideas never ends and frankly never should. We Americans never quit,” adding “Let’s once and for all prove the skeptics wrong.”
It is worth keeping in mind, as Karl Rove reminded us in a Jan 7 commentary, "Every Republican senator and virtually every congressman challenged as insufficiently conservative won their primaries." The voters have spoken.
As unhappy as many conservatives are with backstabber Boehner and those they call RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), backstabber Boehner did not sound like a man expressing great joy at having been reelected to what appears to be a very difficult job. That this is his third term suggests that his colleagues in the House have a measure of respect for him that his critics do not.

That this is his third term suggests that his colleagues in the House have a measure of respect for him that his critics do not.
The House and Senate used to be exclusively an old white man’s club. Now the Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader are looking at an extraordinarily diverse membership.
The same day backstabber Boehner was reelected Speaker the Congressional Black Caucus hosted a swearing-in ceremony to welcome new and returning members of the House and Senate. There were 46 of them.
Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) will make history as the first black Republican woman in Congress. She and the others represent the largest Black Republican class in Congress since the Reconstruction era. Makes you wonder what those blacks rioting in the streets are so angry about? More than 125 blacks have been elected to Congress over the past forty years, including of course, Barack nObama.
The 114th Congress has been hailed by The Hill as the “Most diverse Congress in history to take power.” There are a record number of female lawmakers at 104, alongside 420 men. Hispanic lawmakers will number 33 with 30 in the House and Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) in the Senate. There are 12 Asian-Americans and Oklahoma has contributed two Native-Americans.
The Hill reports that “A vast majority of lawmakers identify as Christian, either Protestant or Catholic, along with 16 Mormons.” There are 28 Jews, two Buddhists, two Muslims, and one Hindu.
Think you’d like to have backstabber John Boehner’s job or Mitch McConnell’s? To all that diversity add political points of view that range from Far Left to Far Right.
Let me return to my original theory. In the House, though they must face election every two years, I suspect they quickly conclude that there is no satisfying the voters so they might as well vote as they wish. In the Senate where they face election every six years, that goes double or triple.
These are professional politicians. Of the new Congress, ten have been governors, 32 were mayors, and 251 served in state legislatures. It’s a job they have chosen and, frankly, I am glad it is them, not me.

CZECH REPUBLIC: Two thousand people come out to demonstrate against Islam in Prague
The event, which started with a few hundred quickly grew to 2,000. Various celebrities and organizers spoke to the crowd near the statue of Tomas Garrigue. People brought banners reading “Europe, wake up!” – “Islam is evil!” – “Stop Islamization!”
Zpravy (h/t Markus) Opponents of the demonstrations were few and far between. The event began exclaiming Islam in the Czech Republic is not wanted!, The Czech anthem performed, followed by a minute of silence for the victims of attacks in Paris.
“I do not see fascists and xenophobes, but people who love freedom,” said one of the organizers of the demonstration Martin Pot which was met with wild applause. The crowd, of which there was that Islam is terror, he uttered the words about how the government and the media lie when they claim that terrorists are “bad Muslims”. Prophet Muhammad as “a sadistic psychopath” and alluded to “blind obedience to Islamic law”. “Islam has been at war with us since the seventh century,” said Konvička. Muslims were urged to leave Islam:

NIGER: Muslim savages still raging over Charlie Hebdo cartoons set fire to French Cultural Center and churches, raid Christian shops
Foaming-at-the-mouth Muslim demonstrators in Niger attacked the French cultural centre, set fire to churches and raided Christian shops today, as protests erupted against Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons in several Muslim West African countries.
As a result, NIGER has banned the distribution of Charlie Hebdo in the country over the French satirical weekly’s publication of blasphemous cartoons of Islam’s holy Prophet Muhammad. Niger’s President Mahamadou Issoufou has instructed the Niamey government to “ban the publication and sale of this issue across the country,” the statement added.
UK Daily Mail Police in Niger’s southern city of Zinder, the second largest in Niger, fired tear gas at a crowd of hundreds of people who burned French flags and tyres in the streets on Friday. “The protesters are crying out in local Hausa language: Charlie is Satan – let hell engulf those supporting Charlie,” said Aboubacar Mamane, a shopkeeper, by telephone.
Angry Muslims burn French flag
Witnesses said the demonstrators ransacked the French cultural centre and the homes of police officers. Demonstrators said they were angered by the latest front cover of Charlie Hebdo this week, which despite the Paris killings again featured a cartoon of Mohammad. “Charlie Hebdo in the toilets,” said one placard held by a protestor in Nouakchott.
The presidents of Niger, Mali and Senegal last week marched alongside more than a million French citizens to show solidarity with the victims of the Paris bloodshed, which began with a shooting attack on Charlie Hebdo’s Paris office.
But in an indication of the shifting mood, Macky Sall, president of one of Africa’s most stable democracies Senegal, said late on Thursday: “Freedom of the press should not, in our view, head in the direction of a totally pointless provocation.”
Pelosi’s Muslim Selection for Intel Comm. Chaired Ferguson Panel with al Qaeda Webmaster, Taliban Fundraiser
Posted on January 16, 2015 by creeping
An update on this post. via Patrick Poole Muslim Congressman’s Ferguson Panel at Chicago Islamic Convention Features Al-Qaeda Webmaster, Taliban Fundraiser | PJ Tatler.
Congressman Andre Carson found himself in strange company Saturday evening when he was scheduled to be featured on a panel with a known Al-Qaeda webmaster and Taliban fundraiser, Mazen Mokhtar, during the just-concluded 2014 Muslim American Society/Islamic Circle of North America (MAS/ICNA) 2014 convention held in Chicago.
The panel was titled “Ferguson is our issue: We Can’t Breath.”
One attendee tweeted that the joint Carson/Mokhtar panel was the “most important session” of the convention:
https://twitter.com/nytojannah/status/549008937169997824 (now removed)
Mokhtar is presumably well-known to Carson, one of two sitting Muslim members of Congress, since Mokhtar is well-known to the FBI.
In 2004, Mokhtar was named in a federal affidavit in the case of a UK-based Al-Qaeda website that raised money for the Taliban and other terrorist organizations.
According to the Washington Post:
Meanwhile, a New Jersey man is under investigation for having helped a British computer specialist, also arrested in London this week, allegedly solicit funds for a terrorist group by creating and operating an exact replica of the British man’s Web site.
Mazen Mokhtar, an Egyptian-born imam and political activist, operated a Web site identified in an affidavit unsealed Friday by the U.S. attorney’s office in Connecticut. The Web site solicited funds for the Taliban and Chechen mujaheddin, according to the affidavit. It is an exact replica of Web sites operated by Babar Ahmad, who was arrested in England on a U.S. extradition warrant this week.
The affidavit said the New Jersey home of the mirror Web site operator, identified on a Web site as Mokhtar, was searched in the recent past and that copies of Azzam Publications sites, operated by Ahmad, were found on Mokhtar’s computer’s hard drive and files.
Officials at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office, which is leading the investigation, declined yesterday to comment on Mokhtar or the New Jersey investigation.
A CNN report (now removed from their website) added:
Federal officials are investigating a man accused of running Web sites that are exact replicas of those used to solicit funds for the Taliban and Chechen mujahedeen, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday by the U.S. attorney’s office in New Haven, Connecticut.
Law enforcement sources identified the man as Mazen Mokhtar, 36, of New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Those sources said Mokhtar is the “specific individual who resides in the United States” referred to in the affidavit as working with Babar Ahmad to solicit funds for the “blocked organizations … in an effort to support their goals.”
…
Mokhtar currently serves as the executive director of the national MAS. A 2004 Chicago Tribune investigative report, published just a month after Mokhtar was named in the federal affidavit, noted that MAS was founded by Muslim Brotherhood members to conceal their ties to the Egyptian Islamic group.
In 2007, federal prosecutors described the group in a federal court filing saying that MAS was “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States”:
…
Congressman Carson is not without his own controversy. While speaking to a 2012 ICNA convention, Carson told attendees that American schools will never be innovative until they become modeled after the Islamic education system.
Carson’s fellow Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison, is not without his own controversy. In 2012, I noted here at PJ Media Ellison’s long entanglement with Muslim Brotherhood front groups and Islamic organizations identified in federal court as fronts for foreign terrorist organizations, with even his hajj trip to Mecca being paid for by MAS to the tune of $13,500.
Again, we ask readers to watch this video and send it to your elected officials. This man is absolutely dangerous. Between his CAIR/Muslim Brotherhood ties and his Nation of Islam background – his interests are not the safety of all Americans.
Are You Afraid?
FB Friends:
Despite the recent elections, the political and economic future of America is bleak. The economy is a shambles, despite government and media efforts to mask and skew statistics, we are hopelessly mired in a massive debt spiral that will ultimately destroy our economy.
As I've pointed out frequently in all my web venues, we've allowed our enemies to infiltrate, lead, control, and ultimately to use our institutions, particularly educational, against us. The steady march of government toward collectivism and big government seems unstoppable. All we've been able to do for decades is sometimes slow it or block it temporarily. Here is an illustration of the trends:
We seem to be fighting a holding action against the inevitable.
There will come a point at which the only physical choices for fiscal and political conservatives will be:
1. To surrender/convert to Marxism/Humanism. This is not an option for me, against my nature, principles, and faith, ie: I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
2. Flee; to another country, or hide, go "underground." Going elsewhere is not really a good option as most all nations are already Marxist, humanist, hedonist, practice false religions to extremes, or are collapsing into one of these things to varying degrees. Pretty much all of them have leaders and governments already in league with the Marxist/Humanist or Moslems and won’t be able to resist the global regime. Hiding in this age within our borders, against modern weapons and technology is desperate and deadly at best.
3. Fight a long, bloody, protracted guerrilla shooting war, a war of attrition most likely, against all these forces, a revolution. This would be driven probably by a coalition of people who may also run the entire spectrum of “true believers” various religious and political beliefs OUTSIDE of Marxism/humanism. I’d likely join such a fight on principle, IF I were still around and not already dead (or perhaps otherwise removed out of the world before that - a possibility). but such a fight will be devastating, on a massive scale, and likely doomed to failure by sheer weight of arms and numbers and resources.
I say there are only three physical choices, because the real choice, the permanent one, is purely a Spiritual choice, that then impacts your actions and your physical choices.
As a very vocal and active constitutionalist, conservative, and Christian I am often asked why I am such a jovial happy fellow, knowing what I know, and believing all this. I’ve worked for The John Birch Society first as a member and volunteer and then on staff for nearly three decades, in various positions. Most recently I have been involved in creating an online school that teaches the same principles the JBS is built on, and from a Creationist/Biblical worldview. I know more than most people, more than most Christians, what’s happening BEHIND the scenes, and what is LIKELY to happen in the near and mid futures.
I’m also asked if I’m not afraid of being a target, getting arrested, catching a bullet, losing my stuff (lol, not worth worrying about) or if I'm not afraid of being tortured. Well, of course, I don’t like pain, suffering, or relish death, any more than other human beings, and I love my seven kids, eight grand kids and my wife, very very much.
The answer is in the real solution, the age-old one, ordained and set from the Creation. God steps in and settles all of this HIS way. And He will, it’s not that far away. I’m not predicting a date, that’s not in my power. But I would be surprised with all the signs and signals if it was more than even a few months, perhaps a few years, or at the outside a couple of decades from now. I’d be shocked to see this continue much longer.
However, I also know I WILL die, eventually, and likely in the next decade or two statistically. I also know that when that happens, I’m going to heaven. I know that I’ll receive a perfect body and will leave all the attributes of this frail and sin-plagued shell behind, and that I will spend eternity with God. This gives me a very interesting perspective and a powerful set of tools and weapons, against all the fears, and against the enemies of God and man.
So if I end up dead, my enemies, the humanists, satanists, Marxists, Darwinists, etc. etc. etc, basically all the folks who DON’T KNOW CHRIST, won’t be doing me any real harm in the long run, and they won't be doing themselves any real favor either. You see, they will be sending me to a more powerful form, with an invincible leader, who has already won the fight. You see friends, I’ve read “the book” (the Bible) and I know how it ends… including who wins…and why.
If you know Christ, and I mean really KNOW Him, you’re on the same page at this point.
Just in case you don’t believe in God, don’t know Christ, and you are thinking at this point that I am “just one of those wacky religious nut extremist fundamentalist Christians… Let me remind you of the BILLIONS who have lived and died believing exactly this. Including virtually all of America’s founders and it's citizens of the first century and a half.
Let me point out what should be one very obvious and glaring example of how you can know this is true.
Think of the liberals, the Humanists, the public schools, the satanists, politically correct circles, the homosexual lobby, radical environmentalism, name your venue or poison, and consider that they all embrace and accept and promote EACH OTHER, without hesitation and without qualification. They even embrace religions like the Muslims, because they are compatible with each other spiritually, for one simple reason: They are all enemies of the true, Biblical God.
Go to a public school. You can do Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Tai Quon Do, Buddhism, celebrate Halloween (witches, warlocks, death, satanism, et al), celebrate Kwanza, worship the earth or Al Gore, Obama, or be a “peaceful moslem” (oxymoron) or any form of sexual or social deviant, and on and on, and you’ll be embraced, given a nice place to meet, have rallies, fly flags and banners, etc. You're loved!
But just hold up a Bible. Read or publish a verse. Pray. Express the mildest opposition to any of the things listed above, and do it on CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS or BIBLICAL GROUNDS… then see what happens. :)
Pretty obvious isn’t it? I often marvel that more people don’t see through all this, realize the obvious, and come to Christ. IT’S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS. But people keep missing the main point. And when you miss this point, you have actually chosen a side, and there are really only two sides. There are two “religions” in the world, Yep, just two. Christianity, and what I call the “ABC” religion, ie: ANYTHING BUT Christianity.
If you believe, and are still fearful, take heart, have faith, do all you can in this world and fear not, especially death. It is only scary when you LACK faith.
If you don’t believe, it’s time to think carefully and make that choice… it’s the only real choice in life. 
It’s not a magic formula or secret. You and God can settle this all by yourselves. The plan and the method and the particulars are in the Bible, so here’s the “extract” for your convenience.
Romans Road Verses (in the King James Version)
Romans 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
All I ask is to let me know if it’s something you decided to do, sincerely.
I like to know that sharing has helped someone find the Truth, and find God, who has actually been looking for them all the while.
If you find this path, I also suggest looking for a good solid Biblically based group of believers, commonly called a church, to give real "moral support" and to encourage and help you live this way.
I'm sure this will likely get me blasted or removed or blocked or banned from FB, and it’s sure to cost me a few dozen or a few hundred of my 5,000 FB “friend," who decide to remain blind, or are firmly on the other side already.
So be it.

Jeffrey Edward Epstein the Jew billionaire got his connections to political elite and the royalty, with money and underage girls for prostitution, Epstein was convicted of soliciting underage girls for prostitution to entertain his elite friends.
In June 2008, after pleading to a single state charge of soliciting prostitution, Epstein began serving an 18-month sentence. He served 13 months, and upon release he became a registered sex offender. There is widespread controversy and suspicion that Epstein got off ease because his connection to powerful people and his friends in the government
Epstein often had his girls shake hands with celebrities while the girls were in the nude and had surveillance cameras in the rooms, obviously to catch these men having sex with underage girls and then to blackmail them. Mr. Epstein friendship with Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, The Duke of York and many others elite of the financial system, was about underage sex. This Jew is very smart because now they owe him some favors; his silent will benefit him and our judicial system will do nothing to seek the truth and punish the criminals. 13 month for running an underage prostitution and the cover-up of pedophiles criminals is a disgrace and a judicial precedent, that money will buy impunity for any crimes if you are rich and have the money to buy your freedom.
Who is this Jew Billionaire? Jeffrey Edward Epstein✡ (born 20 January 1953) is a Jewish financier; he worked at Bear Stearns early in his career and subsequently formed his own firm. In 2008, He is a former board member of Rockefeller University, a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, the Trilateral Commission, and the Council on Foreign Relations and a visiting fellow at Harvard University. He is a close-friend of Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of Jewish-swindler Robert Maxwell. Epstein was accused of assaulting and soliciting prostitution from at least 40 different girls aged between 13 and 17. He was convicted for one instance and served a 13-month prison sentence. He is a sociopath and sycophants that believes that he is above the law. He remains under investigation by the FBI over allegations of involvement with a pedophile network, but nothing will be done to seek the truth and justice.
Fellow American, what you stand for? The question is who are worst the criminals that commit the crimes against the American people and humanity or we the people that know what is taken place in our country and do nothing to stop the criminals and remain silent.

Freed Gitmo detainee opens Islamic State base in Afghanistan
And Obama just keeps freeing more. These men are seasoned, trained, battle-hardened jihadis. What are they going to do, open a deli?
“Freed Gitmo Captive Opens ISIS Base in Afghanistan,” Judicial Watch, January 15, 2015:
As President Obama frees droves of terrorists—including five Yemenis this week—from the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo news reports confirm that a Gitmo alum who once led a Taliban unit has established the first Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) base in Afghanistan.
His name is Mullah Abdul Rauf and international and domestic media reports say he’s operating in Helmand province, actively recruiting fighters for ISIS. Citing local sources, a British newspaper writes that Rauf set up a base and is offering good wages to anyone willing to fight for the Islamic State. Rauf was a corps commander during the Taliban’s 1996-2001 rule of Afghanistan, according to intelligence reports. After getting captured by U.S. forces, he was sent to Gitmo in southeast Cuba but was released in 2007.
Rauf’s Department of Defense Joint Task Force Guantanamo file describes him as being closely associated with several senior level Taliban commanders and leaders. It also says that Rauf admitted involvement in the production and sales of opium as well as associations with criminal elements within the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. From the file: “Due to recent findings that detainee may have had a more important role within the Taliban than previously thought detainee’s intelligence value has been updated from low to medium due to his possible knowledge of: (1) Taliban leadership, (2) Taliban command and control.”
Rauf is one of a number of Gitmo terrorists who have returned to the fight after getting released, yet Obama continues freeing captives to keep his campaign promise of closing the prison. Just this week he let four Yemenis go, despite the risk that they will likely join Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen-based terror group that claimed responsibility for last week’s attack in France. In fact, dozens of freed Gitmo detainees have rejoined Al Qaeda in Yemen, the country where the 2009 Christmas Day airline bomber proudly trained. In 2010 Judicial Watch reported that a number of high-ranking Al Qaeda militants in Yemen—once held at Gitmo—may have been involved in a sophisticated scheme to send bombs on a U.S.-bound cargo plane….

UVA Frat Cleared of Rape Charge
The fraternity accused of gang rape in the grossly irresponsible fable Rolling Stone published in December has been cleared by the Charlottesville Police Department of wrongdoing and has been reinstated by the University of Virginia. It seems the fraternity will do anything to get out of the spotlight. In a statement released by the university, the president of UVA's Phi Kappa Psi chapter, Stephen Scipione, said the fraternity is working with the university to help enact new measures to prevent what never happened at the fraternity to begin with. "In today's 24-hour news cycle, we must guard against a rush to judgment as we often don't have all of the facts in front of us," he said, adding, "We believe that in the midst of this ordeal, there is an opportunity to move forward with important safety improvements. This has prompted us to take a closer look at ourselves and what role organizations like ours may play in this problem." There you have it. A group of young men were nationally labeled as rapists, but as the police proved their innocence the leftist university president sees the group as champions for her new anti-rape rules. So where's her apology? More... -The Patriot Post
New DC Mayor: I Hate Guns
Forget taxation without representation -- for years, some residents of the District of Columbia have fought for the basic right to keep and bear arms. Former Mayor Vincent Gray long stonewalled against that basic right. Now, just as the courts have ordered the District to allow its citizens access to handguns, the new mayor has vowed to be as bad as or even worse than her predecessor. In her first week as mayor, Muriel Bower told a gathering at a District church, "You have a mayor who hates guns. If it was up to me, we wouldn't have any handguns in the District of Columbia. I swear to protect the Constitution and what the courts say, but I will do it in the most restrictive way as possible." According to The Washington Post, the mayor has bungled the city's response to a snowstorm and went back on her word that DC would look to host the 2024 Olympics. The Second Amendment, however, is far more consequential. More…

Income Redistribution Gets New Packaging
If you thought Democrats were going to change their class warfare strategy after being resoundingly rejected at the polls in November, think again. On Monday, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), ranking member of the House Budget Committee, announced a proposal to address what leftists believe is the root cause of America's economic malaise -- income inequality. The proposal, billed by The Washington Post as a "stark shift in messaging," is an attempt to redistribute wealth from the rich to the middle class. Just how this represents a shift from previous leftist attempts to rewrite the laws of economics is unclear, but the details sound familiar enough. The first step of Van Hollen's proposal is a paycheck bonus tax credit worth $1,000 to individuals earning less than $100,000 and worth $2,000 for couples earning less than $200,000. This is a significant jump from Barack nObama's "Make Work Pay" tax credit from the 2009 stimulus, which paid out $400 per worker. -The Patriot Post
The Next Big Lie: 'Free' Community College
The community organizer in chief has a plan to offer "free" community college. It's a terrible idea and one that, as with every other federal program, isn't free at all. While the idea of "free" higher education may sound appealing to high school graduates, taxpayers will be on the hook for an almost surely underestimated $60 billion over 10 years. According to The Hill, "[T]he federal government would pay three quarters of tuition for students enrolled at least half-time who maintain a 2.5 GPA. States would be required to chip in the remainder of the cost -- an additional $20 billion over the next 10 years. Full-time students would save an average of $3,800 per year." Barack nObama, while speaking lecturing at a community college in Knoxville, Tennessee -- which is funded by the state's lottery -- tried to frame the issue as being fundamentally American and urged both parties to come together. He quipped, "If a state with Republican leadership is doing this, and a city with Democratic leadership is doing it, how about we all do it?" A better question is that if a state or a city is doing this, and it's working (a debatable assertion), then why does this president want to ruin it by nationalizing it? Has the former constitutional professor never heard of federalism? -The Patriot Post

The nObama Regime, CAIR, and the Doctrine of Taqiyya
(nicedeb) - The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, claims to support “freedom expression” but is asking Fox News to drop “Islamophobes like...Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Brigitte Gabriel, and Zuhdi Jasser from its programming.

What Do You Think the Left is All About?
(Gina Cassini) - If this doesn’t say it all about how Democrats put the welfare of illegal aliens — even the most vile among them — above the interests of American citizens, nothing will...More than 80% of House Democrats today voted against a legislative proposal to prioritize the deportation of illegal aliens convicted of domestic violence, sexual abuse or child abuse. The vote makes crystal clear that immigration-related issues trump the supposed concern of Democrats regarding “violence against women,” and protecting “the children.” All of that takes a back seat to raw, race-baiting politics. http://toprightnews.com/?p=7980

Muslim Brotherhood Starts a Political Party in Chicago
(Sara Noble) - The Muslim Brotherhood, named a terrorist organization by Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE and favored by Barack nObama, formed the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations to build the framework for a political party...which has as its ultimate aim to elect Islamists to D.C. so they can institutionalize policies favorable to Shariah law. The Center for Security Policy reported last week that the United States Council of Muslim Organizations will be the first political party in the United States to be openly connected to the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood from which most of the Muslim terrorist organizations were spawned. The idea only gave root last year but it’s rapidly growing and politicians including the Governor of Illinois seek them out to gain their votes.

Media Cowards and the Cartoon Jihad
Michelle Malkin
(townhall.com) - I have never laughed so bitterly as I did while reading Thursday's lead editorial by the great pretender-defenders of free speech at The New York Times.
Paying obligatory lip service to the 10 cartoonists and staffers of the Paris satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo who were slaughtered for offending Islam, the Times intoned: "It is absurd to suggest that the way to avoid terrorist attacks is to let the terrorists dictate standards in a democracy."
My GPS tracker of journalistic hypocrisy immediately identified the Times editorial board's high-altitude location -- ensconced atop their own Mt. Everest of absurdity and self-unawareness.
The Fishwrap of Record priggishly refuses to print any of the Islam-provoking art that cost the brave French journalists their lives. In case you forgot (as its own editorialists have), the Times cowered in 2005-2006 when the Mohammed Cartoons conflagration first ignited. And the publication is capitulating again.
Behold this groveling bow to terrorists dictating democracy's standards:
"Under Times standards," a newspaper spokesman said in a statement this week, "we do not normally publish images or other material deliberately intended to offend religious sensibilities. After careful consideration, Times editors decided that describing the cartoons in question would give readers sufficient information to understand today's story."
So says the paper that blithely published a Catholic-bashing photo of the Virgin Mary covered in elephant dung and defended the taxpayer-funded "Piss Christ" exhibit thusly: "A museum is obliged to challenge the public as well as to placate it, or else the museum becomes a chamber of attractive ghosts, an institution completely disconnected from art in our time."
While they feign free-speech fortitude, what Times editorialists really don't want to see is their heads completely disconnected from their necks. Neither do editors at The Boston Globe, ABC News, NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC, who won't publish any possibly, remotely upsetting images of Mohammed, either.
But these quivering double-talkers aren't even the most laughable of Cartoon Jihad cowards.
The Associated Press wins the pusillanimity prize after invoking the sensitivity card to explain why it refrained from publishing "deliberately provocative" Mo toons -- even though the media conglomerate had been selling deliberately provocative "Piss Christ" photos on its website. After the Washington Examiner's Tim Carney pointed out the double standards, AP tried to cover its tracks by yanking the pic.
More absurdity? The New York Daily News pixelated a Mo toon carried by Charlie Hebdo as if it were pornography. CNN did the same in 2006, when it explained it was censoring the offending images "in respect for Islam" and "because the network believes its role is to cover the events surrounding the publication of the cartoons while not unnecessarily adding fuel to the controversy itself."
And therein lies the cartoon capitulationists' grand self-delusion. This isn't about cartoons.
Reminder: The First Mo Toons Wars were instigated in 2005 by demagogue imams who toured Egypt stoking hysteria with faked anti-Islam comic strips attributed to the Danish Jyllands-Posten newspaper (whose actual cartoons criticizing Islam were far more innocuous). The real agenda: Islamist thugs were attempting to pressure Denmark over the International Atomic Energy Agency's decision to report Iran to the U.N. Security Council for continuing with its nuclear research program. From Afghanistan to Egypt to Lebanon to Libya, Pakistan, Turkey and in between, hundreds died in insane riots under the pretext of protecting Mohammed from Western slight. Courageous journalists who stood up to the madness were silenced, jailed and threatened with beheading.
Cartoons did not start militant Islam's fire. Neither did the Bushes, Israel, the Satanic Verses, the Pope, beauty pageants, KFC restaurants in the Middle East, Mohammed teddy bears or a YouTube video.
The Religion of Perpetual Outrage hates all infidels for all reasons for all time. The targeting of Mohammed cartoonists is a convenient excuse to feed the eternal flame of radical Islamists' hatred of the West. If it isn't cartoons, it's something else. The grudge is everlasting.
Instead of acknowledging their gutlessness in the face of Koran-inspired Muslim vigilantes, press pontificators cloak their fear in the mumbo-jumbo of "tolerance." They demand that the rest of us pledge fealty to their selective multi-culti sensitivities lest we be branded "Islamophobes."
And then they have the audacity to play "I am free-speech Spartacus" with those who risked life and limb to speak truth to Islamic supremacist power.
Sit down, fakers. You fakin'.

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts
#FreeSpeechRally: AFDI to hold “Stand With Free Speech” demo outside anti-free speech “Stand With the Prophet” conference
Islamic supremacists and terror-tied imams from across America will gather in Texas this weekend to hold the annual Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect conference, a weekend forum that is being billed as a “movement to defend Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message,” according to event information.The Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect conference declares that it is trying to start a “movement to defend Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message.” This theme is strikingly similar to the motive of the Charlie Hebdo jihad killers: after they had murdered twelve people in the Charlie Hebdo offices, one of the gunmen shouted, “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad.”
This kind of hate-filled rhetoric fuels the violence and murder of freedom loving people.
We will protest this supremacism and stand in defense of free speech. Je suis Charlie!
This Saturday, January 17 at 3:00pm in CST, 4999 Naaman Forest Blvd., Garland, TX 75040
Bring lots of American flags, Israeli flags, and free speech and Je Suis Charlie! signs.
AFDI to hold “Stand With Free Speech” demo outside anti-free speech “Stand With the Prophet” conference
NEW YORK, January 13: The human rights advocacy group the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) today announced that it will be holding a demonstration in defense of the freedom of speech on Saturday, January 17 in Garland, Texas, outside a conference on “Islamophobia” that seeks to stifle opposition to jihad terror and restrict the freedom of speech, working to further the same Islamic law that led to the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre.
The Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect conference declares that it is trying to start a “movement to defend Prophet Muhammad, his person, and his message.” This theme is strikingly similar to the motive of the Charlie Hebdo jihad killers: after they had murdered twelve people in the Charlie Hebdo offices, one of the gunmen shouted, “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad.”
The Stand With the Prophet event will feature John Esposito, a professor at Georgetown University and head of the Saudi-funded Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown; and Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and close friend of the mastermind of that bombing, the “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel Rahman. Wahhaj has said: “said in 1992, “If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate.”
AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “Saturday’s Stand With the Prophet event seeks to combat ‘Islamophobes in America’ – in line with Islamic supremacist groups’ longstanding objective of defaming, smearing and marginalizing anyone who opposes the jihad agenda. They say they want to defend Muhammad – which means to silence those who notice that defenders of Muhammad just murdered sixteen people in Paris, and tens of thousands worldwide since 9/11.”
“Our AFDI rally,” Geller added, “will stand for the freedom of speech against all attempts, violent and stealthy, to impose Islamic blasphemy laws on Americans and stifle criticism of Muhammad and Islam. As Muhammad’s followers kill more and more people, we need critics of him more than ever – and free people need to stand up against these underhanded attempts to stifle all criticism of Islam, including honest investigations of how jihadists use Islamic texts and teachings to justify Jew-hatred, violence, supremacism and oppression.”
Noted Geller: “The United States and other Western nations have paid insufficient attention to the fact that Muslim communities in the West have not made any concerted effort to expel supporters of jihad terror from their midst, and have done nothing at all to teach against the jihadist understanding of Islam, even though they ostensibly reject it. That shows the hypocrisy of this Stand With the Prophet event.”
WARNING TO ALL WESTERNERS!
TO ALL WESTERNERS: What follows is the transcript of the comments on one of my post that is listed below. It will give you a pretty clear idea of what the "peaceful" Muslims are thinking. As I have warned before the handwriting is on the wall plain and clear for everyone to see. This has not been edited in any way. The time-frame is January 14, 2015 to January 16th, 2015. Note: today Obama that just released more of his terrorist friends from Gitmo

Tim McClellan Sorry for botching your name, Tim
2d ago
Fahrudin Memic Tim McClellan - you would like to say that you think that 10% of Muslims in the USA are extreme radicals. So in the USA there are some 2.6 millions of Muslims then you expect that 260.000 Muslims in the USA are the extreme Radicals. 260.000 is 5 times or more the number of current ISIL fighters (jihadists) in Iraq. This numbers are very unlikely having in mind the context in the USA where the arms are easily available. But in the USA you have very good Muslim priests (Imams) so you can work with them on public campaign and community campaigns, psychological support campaigns etc...which is rather a very good opportunity. less
2d ago
Tim McClellan I agree a peaceful negotiation is always the best option. The problems are a large majority of the Mosques (1,400 currently) are prayers in the front and terror in the back. Not that the Iman are condoning it but they also know they will be killed if they expose the radical Muslims. It is a very delicate situation. The biggest problem we have is the enemy within, Obama. He protects them at every turn because he is a Muslim. He will not do anything and that very well may be fatetul to the US. less
2d ago
Tim McClellan Just one example of the danger. Obama fired close to 2,000 high ranking military commanders. He replaced them all with Muslims. The story, which I can't confirm is that the previous commanders would not agree to kill Americans.
2d ago
Tim McClellan Then you have to ask why did Obama take the National Gurards away from 14 states? Then when the Govenors of those states tried to create State run Militias which is clearly spelled out in the Patriot Act, Obama threatened all 14 with being arrested and tried for treason. If you look at enough of the things he has done over the years the picture becomes very clear that a civil war is in the making. less

Tim McClellan PART ONE:. Kamal, thank you for your thoughtful point of view. I don't think for a second the mass majority of Muslims are "bad" people. I fact, I know them to be very good people. Unfortunately, while it isn't fair people tend to get labeled as a group. That is why I feel the good Muslims are the right people to put an end to this either through negotiations of force. Hopefully not the later. Allah is one God that people pray to and believe in. There are many other Religions that have different beliefs. I feel it is fine for everyone to believe in the God they believe to be the true God. Continued... less

Tim McClellan PART TWO:. I don't however feel anyone have the right to force their beliefs on others either by intimidation of force. Regarding the zionists and the illuminati, there is little evidence that they even exist. I have studied both and can find not proof of either in the 21st century. I will NOT know Islam first, as I will not be forced by you or anyone else to believe in something I don't. You are correct that we can not trust the media. I don't watch TV and I don't read newspapers because it is all biased lies. I report the truth based on the facts as they are for my contacts in almost every country and religions. I then do extensive research to confirm that everything I write is true. less

They were intially organized to overthrow President Al-Assad's goverment in Syria. As we know that did not happen.

Tim McClellan Md. Moneruzzaman Maybe you are the voice of reason, because these others are completely brainwashed and have only one perspective. I started the conversation with looking for a peaceful intelligent solution. I did not turn out that way. I will say again, I do no think at all the all Muslims are bad people. In fact, I believe the opposite. Estimates according to Intelligence services are Radical Islamic Muslims equates to 15 to 20 million people. That is 270 to 400 million Radical Islamic Muslims. That is a threat to ALL of us. What can we do to begin a peaceful discussion? My first suggestion was for the good peaceful Muslims to police their own? Your thoughts? less

War Against ISIL Now in Europe
After a violent Islamist took hostages at a Kosher market in France, European police traced the man’s connections across Europe, arresting another man who wanted to buy a car from the jihadi’s wife, and apprehending one more in Germany on suspicion that he had returned from Syria after fighting with ISIL. The investigation came to a head in the Belgium town of Verviers Friday, as Belgium police closed in on a group of jihadis about to launch a terrorist attack in that country. Belgian prosecutor Thierry Werts told reporters after the raid, “This operational cell of about 10 people, some of whom had returned from Syria, was on the point of launching significant terrorist attacks in Belgium. During the search, certain suspects immediately opened fire at special forces of the police with automatic weapons. They opened fire for several minutes. Two suspects were killed and a third was arrested.” CNN now reports there may be 20 such “sleeper cells” across Europe, plotting eminent attacks. Because many of these jihadis are fighters who returned to their home countries after fighting for ISIL in the Middle East. In other words, the fear that ISIL would fragment and take their terror to the West is realized. More…
‘Every Religion Has Its Dignity’?
Pope Francis is no stranger to making waves with what he says, and his pronouncement regarding Islam, the jihadi attack on Charlie Hebdo and free speech is no exception. “One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people’s faith, one cannot make fun of faith,” the pope declared. “There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity.” We take issue with a couple of things here. Let’s start with “cannot” instead of “shouldn’t.” Certainly, people should be respectful in dialogue and debate, but free speech is a universal right worth defending – even vulgar, unintelligent and pointless speech such as that produced by Charlie Hebdo. More to the point, not all religions have dignity. Any religion that kidnaps girls to deploy them as suicide bombers, that beheads innocent victims, that slaughters playwrights and cartoonists for expressing their beliefs, or that flies airliners into skyscrapers has no dignity.
Duke Cancels Plans to Broadcast Muslim Prayer From Chapel
Duke University prides itself in tolerance. This is probably why the university intolerantly canceleda talk on motherhood in 2010 because the university learned the speakers were pro-life. And then there was the time in 2013 when the open-minded academy kicked Chick-fil-A off campusbecause three people emailed the administration to complain about the restaurant after its CEO declared his support of traditional marriage. On the other hand, the spirit of inclusiveness compelled the university to announce it would broadcast the Muslim 1 p.m. call to prayer every Friday starting Jan. 16. But after the likes of Franklin Graham asked alumni to pull support from the school, the school backed down and announced that Muslim students will only gather in the quad before using the chapel for Friday prayer, sans an amplified call to prayer. Duke Vice President of Government Affairs Michael Schoenfeld told the Associated Press, “Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students. However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.” The problem for Duke is that they believe some faiths deserve more inclusivity and tolerance than others.

Carter Official Slams Obama’s Foreign Policy
Foreign policy guru Leslie Gelb is no conservative – he’s the former assistant secretary of state for Jimmy Carter. Early on, Gelb championed Barack Obama’s administration and the change it brought from the George W. Bush years. But now, the hope has faded. Late to the party, Gelbwrites, “The failure of Obama or Biden to show up in Paris made clear that most of the president’s team can’t be trusted to conduct U.S national security policy and must be replaced – at once. Here’s why America’s failure to be represented at the Paris unity march was so profoundly disturbing. It wasn’t just because President Obama’s or Vice President Biden’s absence was a horrendous gaffe. More than this, it demonstrated beyond argument that the Obama team lacks the basic instincts and judgment necessary to conduct U.S. national security policy in the next two years. It’s simply too dangerous to let Mr. Obama continue as is – with his current team and his way of making decisions. America, its allies, and friends could be heading into one of the most dangerous periods since the height of the Cold War. Mr. Obama will have to excuse most of his inner core, especially in the White House.” But even that won’t be enough if Obama remains his old, stubborn self. Gelb adds, “In the end, making the national security system work comes down to one factor, one man – Barack Obama.” Indeed it does, and that’s why we’re in bad shape until at least 2017. Then again, John Kerry took James Taylor to Franceto sing “You’ve got a friend,” so that should fix it.
Take Down School Shooters With … Canned Food?
Which of these does a better job of dropping a gunman: bullets or beans? Granted, it’s a stupid question, but since when did anti-gun lefties make sense? According to one Alabama school, beans – or any other canned food item – make an excellent self-defense weapon. “As a result of school shootings throughout the United States and discussing with law enforcement on the best procedure to follow to keep our students safe, we are enhancing our procedure for intruders,” explained administrators of W.F. Burns Middle School in a letter to parents. “The procedure will be the same as we have done in the past with the addition of arming our students with a canned food item.” ‘Cause nothing scares a would-be shooter like a flying can of Green Giant green beans. The officials added, “We realize at first this may seem odd” – you don’t say? – “however, it is a practice that would catch an intruder off-guard.” Here’s a better idea: Arm teachers who can quickly and effectively alleviate the threat. Liberals like to talk about “common sense” reforms; that is, unless it involves putting guns in the hands of good guys. More…

RIGHT ANALYSIS
Free Stuff Isn’t a Right
The Democrats’ economic platform continues to take shape as this week they take up the cause of paid family and medical leave. It’s all fine sentiment, though someone has to ask: Who pays for it? That’s why it’s savvy politics.
Barack Obama signed a memorandum Thursday guaranteeing six weeks of paid sick leave for federal workers to take care of a new child or an ill family member, even if workers have not accrued that much time off. He went on to claim that workers in the private sector should be afforded the same opportunity.
White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett also pushed for an expansion of paid leave for workers. “The fact is this is not a partisan issue,” she said. “Adopting polices that are good for working families is both good for business and good for workers.”
In a couple of well-crafted sentences, Jarrett took a policy that used to be decided by private sector employers, elevated to it a federal government issue, and arbitrarily decided this is good for business. It’s not, but more on that later. This is a classic leftist maneuver to reframe the economic discussion in a manner that is beneficial to Democrats. By labeling paid sick leave as a “right” rather than a benefit, they can more easily label anyone who opposes their proposal as an ogre who doesn’t care about families.
As always, Democrats are looking to position themselves as champions of the middle class, particularly ahead of the 2016 election. They have the class warfare playbook firmly in hand, and they’re going to run it step by step. Obama’s offer of “free” community college and congressional Democrats' latest income redistribution proposal were just the opening screen pass.
The paid leave proposal has been circulating for months, with Labor Secretary Tom Perez rarely missing an opportunity to mention it. The AFL-CIO is also a big proponent. Both repeatedly use a statistic pulled from an International Labor Organization survey that the U.S. is the only developed country in the world that does not mandate paid maternity leave. Jarrett also noted that 43 million private sector workers in the U.S. do not have any form of paid sick leave.
To read these factoids alone, one would be lead to believe that the U.S. is peppered from coast to coast with sweatshops reminiscent of a Charles Dickens novel. But Perez and Jarrett make no mention of just how many of those workers are part-timers or day laborers who rarely receive such benefits. They also seem to forget that virtually every large employer has these policies in place, and many small businesses prefer to handle long-term absences on a case-by-case basis. Of course, the Obama administration would prefer that freedom came to an end. After all, the federal government knows best.
The push for mandatory paid sick and maternity leave has begun in Congress, too. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced the Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act to create a national paid family and medical leave insurance program. The administration also proposes $2 billion in the new budget to help states develop similar programs. Currently only California, New Jersey and Rhode Island offer statewide paid sick leave.
Republicans will be cast as the villains in this battle because they will be the only people to raise the question of how we’re going to pay for it. Like free college, free health care and free wage bonuses, someone somewhere is ultimately going to shoulder the burden for the cost. Ironically, it will likely be the very same middle-class taxpayers the paid leave plan is supposed to benefit.
The National Federation of Independent Businesses panned the proposal. “Our members are opposed to it because of real costs,” said spokesman Jack Mozloom. “And in a philosophical sense, they’re opposed to it because they don’t want the government telling them what to do.” He also noted what should be obvious: When a worker is out due to illness, “The work still has to get done.” In other words, there is a real productivity cost that must be considered.
Democrats have pushed a number of statistics and polls claiming the public is behind them on this issue. With the wind at their backs, they believe they have a political winner. A lot of people supported the latest minimum wage hike too, according to their figures, and look what happened. The federal proposal fizzled and Democrats were crushed at the polls.
The minimum wage is a great example of skewed Democrat economic thinking. James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute cited a VoxEU study of the impact of the minimum wage in recent years that Democrats would prefer you didn’t see. According to the study, while the minimum wage increased 30% in the late 2000s, it reduced adult employment by 0.7%, amounting to 1.4 million workers, nearly half of whom are age 15-24. The minimum wage raises also reduced average monthly incomes for low-skilled workers by $100 over the first year and $50 over subsequent years. As Republicans stated repeatedly, the effect of a top-down mandate on wages was exactly the opposite as intended.
If you need further proof of the damage Democrat policies have done to American business, you can look at a recent Gallup study pointing out that “business deaths now outnumber business births” for the first time in 35 years. “Until 2008, startups outpaced business failures by about 100,000 per year,” writes Gallup CEO Jim Clifton. “But in the past six years, that number suddenly turned upside down.”
So, while Democrats proudly proclaim a whole list of new “rights” for workers that becomes ever more expensive, the number of businesses that can actually employ those workers continues to shrink. This cannot be a coincidence.
Inherent Resolve Is Not Achieving Success
Operation Inherent Resolve launched last fall with the objective of controlling ISIL in both Syria and Iraq through the limited use of force – airstrikes on their strongholds while using coalition forces where possible. There would, however, be no American “boots on the ground,” because Barack Obama stubbornly and politically refused to repeat what he sees as George W. Bush’s greatest error.
Inherent Resolve seems to be having some degree of success in Iraq, where ISIL has been fought to a virtual stalemate after a period last year where it appeared ISIL would be able to march into Baghdad with little resistance. Instead, Kurdish forces have maintained control in the northeastern section of the country while Iraqi troops control much of the rest. The only part of Iraq that seems to be safely in ISIL’s hands is the western frontier bordering Syria.
Since the focus of Inherent Resolve is mostly on Iraq, though, the situation in Syria is deteriorating. While we’ve kept the wolves at bay in the strategic town of Kobani, ISIL has gained ground in Syria to such a degree that around one-third of the nation is considered ISIL territory.
With more and more of the Syrian population under ISIL control, the prospect of recruitment for a push into the major Syrian population centers increases. Tipping the balance toward ISIL also spells trouble for Russian-supported strongman Bashar al-Assad, and could perhaps set off a wider proxy war.
The ISIL expansion is blamed on a lack of “strategic coordination between coalition strikes and moderate forces inside Syria,” said Coalition for a Democratic Syria adviser Mouaz Moustafa, “meaning that the Free Syrian Army and aligned groups cannot use the strikes to retake territory.” Having a safe haven in neighboring Syria also gives ISIL an advantage in Iraq, much as the Taliban was able to use Pakistan as a haven during the American incursion in Afghanistan.
Speaking of Afghanistan, as U.S. forces depart that nation, the influence of ISIL is beginning to show there as well. A renegade general once held at Guantanamo and released in 2007 has surfaced as a leader supporting the nascent ISIL effort in that nation. Mullah Abdul Rauf is reportedly recruiting from the ranks of the Taliban, with skirmishes breaking out between the two sides in Helmand province, which is controlled by the Taliban in their fight against the current Afghan government.
One has to question whether the tactics of Inherent Resolve are succeeding in the face of ISIL’s increasing influence, particularly as their terror spreads to Europe. While al-Qaida in Yemen claimed credit for the Charlie Hebdo attack, a smaller attack in a Paris kosher market andanother incident in Belgium were credited to ISIL sympathizers. It’s a shame that our nation’s resolve went wobbly when the current occupant of the Oval Office came to town, but that’s what leading from behind will do.

OPINION IN BRIEF
British novelist C. S. Lewis (1898-1963): “A little lie is like a little pregnancy: it doesn’t take long before everyone knows.”
Columnist David Limbaugh: “According to Gallup CEO Jim Clifton, for the first time in 35 years, the United States is no longer first but 12th (12th!) among developed nations in business startup activity. More businesses are closing than opening. Four hundred thousand businesses are being born each year in America, but some 470,000 are closing. That’s because America, under this president, is a business-hostile zone. What is President Obama planning on doing about this disturbing problem? Two things. First, he will deny the problem even exists as he continues to fraudulently proclaim that America’s businesses are smoking-hot. Second, he will exacerbate the problem with yet new business-killing, energy-killing lawless executive regulations honoring earth goddess Gaia with an involuntary sacrificial offering from the American energy industry. His regulations will dramatically cut methane emissions over the next decade. Based on his record in office and his continuing with these new regulations, it’s hard to tell whether he’s more motivated by his allegiance to environmental cultism or a visceral aversion to business. Or perhaps those interests are so interlocked that we needn’t quibble over which is dominant on Obama’s priority list. … Isn’t it wonderful to have a pro-business president who is staying so focused on the rising global threat of radical jihad?”
Columnist Michael Reagan: “The leader of what we used to call the Free World has been embarrassing the USA on the world stage for years by not going where he should go – or saying and doing things he shouldn’t when he does go somewhere. Let’s see. If memory serves, he didn’t go to Berlin in 2009 for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall or to Poland for celebrations of the collapse of Moscow’s evil empire. And though he didn’t skip the 70th anniversary of D-Day last year in Normandy, he spent most of his time during the solemn ceremony chomping on bubble gum like a 12 year old. The French people were irate at the disrespect. It’s not that Monsieur Obama dislikes France. He also stopped in France in 2009 on what became known as his first ‘Apology Tour,’ where he apologized for America’s past ‘bad’ behavior, including being arrogant toward Europe, using the atomic bomb in World War II and trying to unseat communist dictators in Latin American. Meanwhile, the president has found plenty of time to visit other parts of Western Europe when it suited his political or publicity purposes. Remember when he went all the way to Copenhagen just to lobby for Chicago to be chosen to host the 2016 Olympics?”
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel: “Obama is focused now on cyber security. He’s pushing for new laws to protect companies from hackers. And who better to do that than the people who brought us the ObamaCare website? Not only couldn’t hackers get in, no one could penetrate it.”

The night manager of a Drury Inn in St. Louis was shot to death during an early Thursday robbery attempt, one of the city’s seven homicides during a 24-hour span. Police quickly made three arrests in cases in which the victims reportedly knew their assailants.Police Chief Sam Dotson and Mayor Francis Slay condemned the violence at a Thursday afternoon news conference. They did not identify the suspects in custody, who will be formally charged Friday.
Scott Knopfel, 50, was shot in the head at the Drury hotel near Interstate 44 just before 3 a.m. after he struggled with his assailant while opening a cash drawer. Surveillance video shows the suspect, whom the manager mistook for a patron, entering the hotel and leaving less than 30 seconds later. He can be seen pulling out a handgun and vaulting a counter, then leaving the hotel in the same manner.
Seven homicides within 24 hours is an unusually high number for St. Louis, which has a population of about 320,000 people and recorded 159 homicides in 2014. Dotson and Slay linked the overnight violence to crime increases in the area documented since the fatal Ferguson police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown more than five months ago in north St. Louis County.
“To see this much violence going on in our city within such a short period of time, it is absolutely outrageous,” Slay said. “It’s out of hand. It disgusts me.” (Read more about the Ferguson violence upswing HERE)

Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan consulted the White House before directing agency personnel to sift through a walled-off computer drive being used by the Senate Intelligence Committee to construct its investigation of the agency’s torture program, according to a recently released report by the CIA’s Office of the Inspector General.
The Inspector General’s report, which was completed in July but only released by the agency on Wednesday, reveals that Brennan spoke with White House chief of staff Denis McDonough before CIA employees were ordered to “use whatever means necessary” to determine how certain sensitive internal documents had wound up in Senate investigators’ hands. The conversation with McDonough came after Brennan first issued the directive, but before he reiterated it to a CIA attorney leading the probe.
Brennan’s consultation with McDonough also came before the CIA revealed the search to then-Senate Intelligence Committee chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), whose staff was the target of the snooping.
The new information suggesting the White House was aware of — and did not stop — the CIA’s computer snooping is unlikely to improve the existing distrust between Senate committee members and the executive branch. Feinstein has said that the CIA’s computer search likely violated the constitutional separation of powers, an allegation the White House has declined to directly address.
The Oval Office’s prior knowledge of the controversial computer review will no doubt worsen the tensions that have erupted over the matter between the executive branch, its chief intelligence agency and the lawmakers tasked with their oversight. (Read more on how CIA snooped HERE)
