Murders In Munich By Muslims

Posted by luis✩USA on July 22, 2016 at 11:31am

FLASH!!!

Yet ANOTHER ongoing shooting spree by Islamic terrorists at a mall in Munich.  At least FIFTEEN reported dead s so far. 

And it's happening prior to Hillary's announcement of her veep choice.  Np dpibt Obama, Lorretta Lynch and the queen herself, Hillary Clinton, are wondering in raw anger, "WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DO THIS ONE [NOW]???!!!  How are we going to fuggin clean THIS ONE up?" 

It seems that the German people haven't given the Islamists enough "compassion, unity and love", right, Lynch?  

Perhaps the Germans need to "change the way they think", right, Barack?

No, wait a sec.  It just has to be this HOT, HOT, global waming weather, right, Kerry?

Well, at least the Hillary has already raked in MILLIONS from the Saudis thru the Clinton Foundation, huh.  WHEW!

 liar-Clinton Bemoans 'White Privilege'

The GOP assembled Monday in Cleveland for the start of the Republican National Convention, but that wasn't the only political event happening in Ohio. liar-Hillary Clinton attended her own confab in the southwest corner of the state — the NAACP's 107th Annual Convention, which is taking place this year in Cincinnati.
          liar-Clinton took advantage of a speaking slot to emphasize what she believes is a "need to make reforms to policing and criminal justice," adding, "[W]e cannot rest until we root out implicit bias and stop the killings of African-Americans." She also lampooned "white Americans" whom she says "need to do a better job of listening when African-Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers [blacks] face every day." She went on to lecture, "We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility rather than assume that our experiences are everyone's experiences."
          It's worth recounting the words of Mark Alexander, who, after the death of Michael Brown in 2014, summed up the growing problem of black privilege: "I would argue that there are to varying degrees undeniable societal biases based on all those human traits and attributes we are supposed to ignore — race, gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation, etc. Do I think those biases are so pronounced that some groups experience more privilege under some circumstances than others? Yes. Is it worth discussing? Yes, but only if that discussion includes the whole color spectrum of privilege. ...
          "In Ferguson, black privilege meant that a drug-using 300-pound black man was entitled to walk into a convenience store, brazenly steal merchandise and physically assault a tiny store clerk. It means he was entitled to walk down the middle of a street taunting traffic. It means that when a police officer told him to get out of the street, he was entitled to punch the officer through his patrol vehicle window and attempt to take the officer's weapon. It means that he was entitled to defy lawful police orders to stop when he turned and charged toward that officer to assault him again. It means when the officer shot that black man, it was, by default, racist. It means that you can adopt a 'hands up' symbolic gesture, though the assailant's hands were not up. It means that race trumps facts, even as determined by a grand jury. It means that, in the name of 'civil rights,' black people are entitled to riot and loot small businesses, most owned by responsible and hard-working black residents."

 Pentagon's New Transsexual Manual 
y-iH5cuIsstyWA5VWb1LXAidqEkQXnPgSmCFzm7D-sRabNusAh5ESyiHWttGrMAsF_cbLVOF2j-h7JSycT58GwXLv00CmVRlDB7_V8hRvTbWDnjz8si89PHz9ggbJA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Commanding officers in the U.S. military must be wondering if they have entered bizarro world after receiving the latest procedural manual from the Pentagon — the sex-change manual. In the midst of all the challenges the U.S. military faces, from budget constraints to the continued war in Afghanistan and the fight against terrorism, the most challenging and out right absurd is that of Barack nObama's social engineering via his recent order to end the ban on transgendered service members.
          The Washington Times reports, "Commanders must hold training sessions to indoctrinate troops on transgender issues and nondiscrimination." As to the reason for this new manual, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said, "We have transgender soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines — real, patriotic Americans — who I know are being hurt by an outdated, confusing, inconsistent approach that's contrary to our value of service and individual merit."
          Retired Army officer Robert Maginnis responded that Carter is "delusional if he believes our military needs transgenders/transsexuals to remain in the 'finest fighting force in the world.'" On the contrary, Maginnis said, "Transsexuals suffer from more psychiatric pathologies than the general population, and active suicide ideation and major depression episodes occur more frequently within this group." He continued, "Creating a bureaucracy to sort out transgender issues will go down in the history of our Armed Forces as the worst waste of defense dollars ever."
          Not only a waste of money, it will be a waste of time as a person deemed to have gender dysphoria will need an extended leave time of stability of 18 months after completing medical treatment. Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon stated, "We have transgender members in the military services today. We believe that we have the same obligation to them that we have to our other service members. Allowing these transgender individuals to serve openly does not bring new medical problems into the military. It brings these medical problems into the open and enables us to treat them in a way that promotes the readiness of the force."
          nObama is more committed to "transforming" the U.S. military into a socially engineered puppet designed to further his agenda of fundamentally transforming the country rather than in providing the needed funding and support allowing them the means of successfully fulfilling the role for which they were originally established — the defense of the United States.   -The Patriot Post

The Iran Deal – A Blueprint for War

{frontpagemag.com} ~ There’s an iconic scene in the Star Wars trilogy where the protagonistic smuggler, Lando Calrissian, bitterly notes that a deal he struck with the evil Darth Vader is “getting worse all the time.”... That exasperated sentiment strikes the right tone for the way many now view the deeply flawed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), alternatively known as the Iran Deal. To refer to the Iran Deal as deeply flawed is in fact, a gross understatement. The JCPOA contained many disquieting clauses that many, including nObama’s supporters, saw as gravely dangerous. The deal made a mockery out of nObama’s claims that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be subjected to “anytime anywhere” inspections. In fact, under the deal, Iran is permitted to delay inspections by up to twenty-four days. Moreover, the opaque Parchin facility, where Iran has conducted its most secretive nuclear experiments, continues to remain largely off limits to international inspectors...  http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263569/iran-deal-%E2%80%93-blueprint-war-ari-lieberman

{frontpagemag.com} ~ As was recently shown, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, with its central claim that police around the country are hunting and killing innocent black men, is a lie... Yet the BLM myth is enmeshed within a larger narrative, a narrative of eternal White Racism. And couched within this tale are distortions and outright crucially false ideas of slavery. One glaringly inconvenient truth that, odds are, few folks of any race are aware is that the very first legal slave owner in America was one Anthony Johnson—a black man. More specifically, Johnson was an Angolan who himself had been an indentured servant in the colony of Virginia before he became a tobacco planter himself.

Federal appeals court orders changes
to Texas voter ID law
{foxnews.com} ~ A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that Texas' strict voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act and ordered changes before the November election... The ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals instructs a lower court to make changes that fix the "discriminatory effect" of the 2011 law, but to do so in a way that disrupts this year's election season as little as possible. President Barack nObama's administration took the unusual step of deploying the weight of the U.S. Justice Department into the case when it challenged the law, which requires Texas residents to show one of seven forms of approved identification. The state and other supporters say the Texas law prevents fraud. Opponents say it discriminates by requiring forms of ID that are more difficult to obtain for low-income, African-American and Latino voters...That's bulls.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/07/20/federal-appeals-court-orders-changes-to-texas-voter-id-law.html

{thenewamerican.com} ~ Under the guise of fighting “violence against children,” the nObama administration has joined forces with socialist foreign regimes and various United Nations agencies in a “global partnership” to wage war on parental rights... The controversial worldwide initiative, which aims to criminalize spanking and smacking as disciplinary tools, among other things, is part of the UN's Agenda 2030, also known as the “Sustainable Development Goals.”  Essentially, the UN is betting that framing the assault on families as a bid to end “violence against children” — something nobody in their right mind would oppose — will make it easier to pursue the sidelining of parents. The plan also calls for vast new data-gathering capabilities to ensure children are being raised in accordance with extreme UN standards that were unthinkable even a few years ago. But opponents of the UN agenda argue that the global organization itself is among the lead violators of children's rights — and parents, by contrast, are the primary protectors of children...What gives nObama the right to impose this on America?

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Veteran Associated Press IAEA reporter George Jahn made news yesterday by revealing a secret agreement to the July 2015 nuclear deal with Iran (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA)... This agreement says that in January 2027, Tehran will be allowed to replace the primitive 5,060 uranium centrifuges it is allowed to operate while the nuclear agreement is in effect with more-advanced designs, even though other restrictions on Iranian uranium enrichment remain in place for 15 years. I believe this is a significant development because it represents another secret JCPOA side deal that the nObama administration illegally withheld from Congress. This agreement means that in only eleven years, Iran will be permitted to substantially increase its capability to produce nuclear fuel faster and in larger amounts. Since Iran is permitted to conduct R&D on advanced centrifuges while the JCPOA is in place - and can expand this effort after eight and a half years - it probably will be able to quickly construct and install these advanced centrifuges... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/obama-withheld-from-congress-another-secret-side-deal-with-the-iranians?f=must_reads

liar-Hillary Clinton and Personal Honesty

{townhall.com} ~ When FBI Director James Comey publicly revealed his recommendation to the Department of Justice last week that former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton not be prosecuted for espionage, he unleashed a firestorm of criticism from those who believe that liar-Clinton was judged by different standards from those used to judge others when deciding whether to bring a case to a grand jury.

The FBI investigation had a bizarre ending to it. FBI recommendations are never made public as this one was. Attorney General Loretta Lynch had been compromised by her politically disastrous but legally consequential meeting out of the view of the media with Bill liar-Clinton just one week before Comey's announcement. Whatever they discussed, the overwhelming public impression was such that Lynch removed herself and her senior aides from the case, effectively leaving the FBI to have the final say. This is unheard of in the post-Hoover FBI.

The Comey announcement itself gave two reasons for recommending against indictment. One was that "no reasonable prosecutor" would take the case. That is not a judgment the FBI gets paid to make. The FBI's job is to gather, present and evaluate facts and evidence, not predict what prosecutors might do with it. The other stated reason for recommending against indictment was that though liar-Clinton may have been "extremely careless" in handling state secrets, she was not "grossly negligent," which is the standard required by the espionage statute.

Yet Comey also acknowledged that liar-Clinton sent state secrets to nongovernmental colleagues who lacked national security clearances, that those people were hacked by hostile intelligence services and that she used her numerous non-secure mobile devices recklessly while inside the territorial borders of those hostile governments. If all that is somehow extremely careless but not grossly negligent, then many who have done far less than liar-Clinton -- and have been prosecuted and convicted -- were wrongly prosecuted.

Since Comey's announcement last week, several new factors have come to light. One is that the DOJ never presented any evidence to a grand jury. It never sought subpoenas from a grand jury. This is unheard of in major criminal investigations because the FBI alone has no subpoena power and needs a grand jury to issue subpoenas for it.

The absence of a sitting grand jury also makes one wonder about the circumstances under which and the purpose for which the DOJ obtained immunity for Bryan Pagliano, liar-Clinton's internet technology adviser. She paid him $5,000 to migrate her public and her secret State Department email streams from the government's secure servers to her own non-secure servers. Immunity, which is essentially the pre-indictment permanent forgiveness of criminal behavior, cannot be given lightly and can only be given in return for testimony -- usually to a grand jury or a trial jury. Strangely, that was not the case here.

Nevertheless, liar-Clinton's persistent problems with personal honesty have brought her face to face with three more criminal investigations. One is for public corruption. The second is for perjury. And the third is for misleading Congress.

The public corruption investigation has been underway for a few months. The allegations are that she exercised the powers of her office as secretary of state to enrich her husband and herself. The evidence here is ample. There are dozens of documented instances in which foreign governments and individuals received beneficial treatment from her State Department -- usually exemptions from compliance with American laws or regulations -- and then collectively gave hundreds of millions of dollars to the liar-Clinton Foundation at a time when it was not a registered lawful charity.

The second investigation liar-Clinton faces is for perjury. This arises out of a Freedom of Information Act civil lawsuit during which she swore in writing and under oath, citing the phrase "under penalty of perjury," that she surrendered all of her work-related emails to the State Department. When she left the State Department, she effectively took all of her emails with her. Then, when the FOIA cases began, she returned about half of what she had taken, claiming that the other half was personal.

The FBI found that she failed to return thousands of work-related emails, some of which she and her lawyers attempted to destroy and some of which they succeeded in destroying. Who ordered the destruction?

Finally, liar-Clinton will most likely be confronted with charges of misleading Congress. Misleading Congress consists of intentionally creating a false impression in response to material congressional questions. She did this when she denied to the House Select Committee on Benghazi that she had sent or received emails via her home servers that contained state secrets.

The FBI found 110 emails in that category, at least two dozen of which were at the highest level of protection that the government accords its secrets. She also told that same committee that she had surrendered all her work-related emails to the State Department.

Former New York Yankees pitching great Roger Clemens was tried twice after a trial that ended with a hung jury, he was ultimately acquitted for misleading Congress when he was forced to speak to a House committee about the contents of his blood and urine as a baseball player. liar-Clinton has misled Congress about her lawful obligations as secretary of state, and she skates free.

Back in the Whitewater days, when the propensity of both Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton to lie routinely and naturally first became apparent to the media and the public, the late, great New York Times columnist William Safire referred to Mrs. liar-Clinton by a moniker that enraged her husband. He became so fearful of the truth and so furious with Safire that he publicly threatened to punch Safire in the nose.

Safire called liar-Hillary Clinton a congenital liar. He was right. That was 20 years ago. Some people never change.

RNC Cleveland Day Three: Sign O' The Times

Posted by luis✩USA on July 21, 2016 at 8:49am

Last night it became quite evident where the country stood politically speaking. On the left the masses stand FOR "progress"; which is ,simply just the latest term for socialism and communism. In turn, they stand AGAINST States' sovereignty; which is another way of describing the individual Natural Rights of American Citizens which is acknowledged, assured and protected by the USConstitution.

To the "right", the loudest delegates, who had applauded Ted Cruz's call for the individual rights of the States to write their own laws and to choose their own.paths. The delegates applauded his call for the 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights of ALL American Citizens as well as putting "America first" and to build a Wall at the border.  Ted Cruz TWICE honored the nine year old that was the daughter who is one of the victims of the five police officers that were murdered in Dallas.  

These things and more were loudly applauded by the delegates - UNTIL it became evident that Cruz was not going to endorse the nomniee - despite the FACT that he opened his speech by cngratulating Trump for winning the nomination and having stood FOR the positions Donald Trump took on the border / immigration, Islamic terrorism, the economy as well as the FAILURES and CORRUPTION in Washington, DC.  Once it became evident that Cruz was not going to endorse the nominee, everything that he stood for, including his mentioning the nine year old the second time, was then BOOED!  Once again his wife, Heidi, was yelled at w/ total disrespect; and she needed to be escorted for protetion.

At any moment, had Ted Cruz showed Trump's family any level of disrespect?  

Which "pledge" was Cruz, or ANY of the candidates for that matter,,was or IS he  supposed to honor; the one written on a worthless piece of paper which was for the sole purpose of political expedienncy, to which the likes of Kasich, who governs the very State that hosting the Convention btw,, and Jeb Bush didn't even appear in Cleveland - although NO headlines are spitting at their faces as they are Ted Cruz's. Hav you even noticed that?

The Trump supporters are saying that Cruz should have endorsed Trump - for PERMITING him to speak at the Convention in the first place. If such is the case, WHY did Trump ALLOW Cruz to speak - KNOWING the contents of Cruz's speech prior?

Donald Trump's rise was very much because Washington DOES NOT honor their OATHS of Office - to uphold and the Constitution.  THAT is the "pledge" that matters to me.

Time will tell son enough if Trump will honor the PROMISES he made during the past year. If he will also go along w/ the century old status quo and the further epxansion of this authoritarian federal govt.  I genuinely hope I'm wrong about Trump.  I hope that his liberal past is not preface.

Harold Hutchison: Friday's failed coup in Turkey is a setback for human rights, democracy, the United States, and the Middle East in general. You're probably asking why that would be the case when Turkish President Recip Tayyap Erdogan appears to have been democratically elected a number of times. A closer look at Erdogan's conduct, however, shows he is not exactly a hero of freedom and democracy. Quite the contrary — he is a thug dictator.
          Erdogan's regime long has been cracking down on the opposition press in Turkey. One opposition party has claimed that nearly 1,900 journalists have lost jobs since Erdogan took power. Opposition media outlets have been fined for covering anti-government demonstrations. The government has the power to shut down websites without a court order, and famously blocked YouTube and Twitter after audio of an incriminating conversation surfaced. A former Miss Turkey was sentenced to a year in jail for allegedly insulting Erdogan, and a 13-year-old was arrested for a Facebook post.
          Since the coup collapsed by early Saturday, Erdogan's regime has detained more than 6,000 military officers, soldiers, judges, police officers and others. He declared, "This uprising is a gift from god to us because this will be a reason to cleanse our army." While rumors that Erdogan set up the whole thing are likely overblown, he clearly didn't let a crisis go to waste.
          More ominously, our NATO ally Turks have ordered a halt to operations at Incirlink Air Base, which is used by the 39th Air Base Wing of the United States Air Force, and which also hosts British, Saudi and German aircraft that carry out strikes against the Islamic State. Not only is Incirlik less than 70 miles from the Syrian border, the United States has a number of "special weapons" stored there, mostly B61 gravity bombs. The base is a critical and strategic launching point for the U.S.
          Erdogan has allegedly turned a blind eye to foreign fighters who travel through Turkey to join the Islamic State, and his sympathies have been increasingly Islamist. Under Erdogan's regime, Turkey denied the 4th Infantry Division permission to pass through Turkey to attack Saddam Hussein's regime from the north in 2003. Israel has also come under fire from Erdogan, particularly after the Gaza flotilla incident.
          Since the failure of the coup, Erdogan has been moving to target his opponents. His regime is now demanding that the United States hand over Fethullah Gulen, a former ally of Erdogan's. Gulen runs the Hizmet movement, which runs schools in Turkey. He also appears to be a real example of a moderate Muslim. He supports democracy, education, military action against the Islamic State, interfaith dialogue, and freedom of religion. Gulen cut ties with Erdogan after a 2013 corruption scandal, and since then, Erdogan has been moving to take out the moderate cleric.
          Should the United States hand Gulen over to Erdogan, it would be for certain death. Not only would that strengthen the Erdogan regime, it would silence one of the most prominent moderate voices in Islam. That would be a huge loss for the people of the entire Middle East, not just a setback in the War on Terror. Bottom line on the coup: The fact that Erdogan's regime survived means the bad guy has won this round. But as is usually the case in the Middle East, there aren't all that many good guys.  -The Patriot Post

 More Chaos on nObama's Watch 
wylNNoIAGs8AFhIvtnzLR2ovjov0FSM4OetbaaVt551BP6dZXvE0KsdJSkFRNVjVmMLlMBDSKJ-zZ9mXUlKNP95P0jnKWUhCPfC9mAnLdBWk5kCWCcYjv_-Rq8O9NA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Charles Paige: Barack nObama and John hanoi-Kerry's response to the unsuccessful coup attempt in Turkey provided additional evidence about which is the real "JV" team. As if that point hadn't already been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. By continually adopting policies that are based on the make-believe world they'd like to have rather the rough and tumble one they're actually living in, nObama and hanoi-Kerry contribute to the instability that dominates current headlines and puts our national interests at great risk. As The Wall Street Journal notes, the attempted coup "adds an alarming twist in world events that already appear to be spiraling out of U.S. control."
          A White House press release stated that nObama "reiterated the United States' unwavering support for the democratically-elected, civilian Government of Turkey" during a conference call with his national security team, as if election results are the sole determinant of legitimacy and common interest. Tellingly, Hamas — another "democratically elected civilian government" — released a similar statement. In throwing his "unwavering" support behind Erdogan early, nObama gave a boost to a regime that has steadily been moving into the Islamist camp. It will be ironic if — as many analysts predict — the slide toward authoritarianism accelerates and the last vestiges of real democracy are removed thanks, at least in part, to nObama's endorsement.
          Then again, after enduring the last seven and a half years of nObama, perhaps that's not ironic at all.
          Although he would almost certainly not present it in this fashion, nObama likely admires the extent to which Erdogan has "fundamentally transformed" Turkey, mirroring many of nObama's own promises — and outcomes. Erdogan promised to rule on behalf of all Turks, but increasingly he does not. He promised to repair the economy, but a recession could be on the horizon. He promised peace, but his combative policies isolated Turkey in the Middle East and estranged it from the West. He promised security, but Turks fear recent bombings are just the tip of the iceberg.
          All of that sounds eerily familiar to the "Hope 'n' Change™" mantra nObama and Co. incessantly promoted in 2008. Look where that's got us. And look where Erdogan has Turkey.  -The Patriot Post

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Burt Prelutsky: "[E]ven I can't place the entire blame on nObama, either for black crime or for the decline in black employment. After all, he can't compel his fellow blacks to get an education, which is required in an increasingly technological world, or to get married. The fault lies with those who keep electing the dumbest, most corrupt politicians in America, and with the media for making Al Sharpton, who should be serving time for tax evasion and sedition, the spokesman for black America. ... Even half a century after the Civil Rights Act, after 50 years of Affirmative Action, Operation Head Start, trillions of dollars in welfare and small business loans, 72% of those black babies not aborted are born to single, uneducated women. The reality is that it's not much different when it comes to Caucasians. Most of the white prison inmates were raised in homes in which a father was only a rumor. It's not impossible for single women to raise decent, law-abiding children, but it's a lot harder to do it alone, especially when it comes to dispensing discipline and providing a role model for a teenage boy."    -The Patriot Post

On an equally, if not more important and current matter, what about the evidence of contacts between the nObama White House and the pro-terrorist Muslim Brotherhood? When will we be given a declassified copy of nObama’s Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11, regarding the secret White House backing of the Muslim Brotherhood? Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has proposed a bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. It’s called the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act (S.2230).

He says they “would enthusiastically elect a dead woman as president to vindicate the Sisterhood younger women care little about.” It appears this “Sisterhood” is finding its voice in The Washington Post. As the trusted voice of far-left feminism in the nation’s capital, the Post ran these headlines on Saturday afternoon about Donald J. Trump’s decision to pick Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate: “Trump had a problem with women voters. Pence could make it even worse.” What is Pence’s problem? Well, he “has endorsed controversial legislation on abortion and Planned Parenthood.” Post reporter Katie Zezima neglected to mention that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, was founded by Margaret Sanger, a revolutionary socialist and anti-Christian activist who favored government programs to eliminate what she called “human weeds.”...  http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-sisterhood-in-the-media/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email071916&utm_medium=email

He describes his continued plotting of the roll out as “A useful discussion following up on the task force meeting that I had last week as well as a number of conversations that we’ve had with various stakeholders in the wake of the tragic events that we’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.” nObama has, over the last two years, created tensions while simultaneously targeting local law enforcement agencies for litigation abuse and takeover for non-compliance with federalization, replacing individuals that resist if necessary as conditions of consent decrees. The conversations with “stakeholders” and his supposed task force are meetings with his stable of agitators and socialist anti-American “race” groups as well as compliant Democrat police departments that are in on and a part of the federalization takeover scheme...

{danielpipes.org} ~ Having this nearly-minority-of-one stance suggests that an explanation longer than 140 characters is in order. Three reasons account for my supporting the ouster of the apparently democratically elected and democratically ruling president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan... by what are apparently the forces of reaction: Erdoğan stole the election. Erdoğan is an Islamist who initially made his mark, both as mayor of Istanbul and as prime minister of Turkey, by playing within the rules. As time wore on, however, he grew disdainful of those rules, specifically the electoral ones. He monopolized state media, tacitly encouraged physical attacks on opposition-party members, and stole votes. In particular, the most recent national election, on November 1, showed many signs of manipulation. Erdoğan rules despotically. Erdoğan has taken control of one institution after another, even in the two years since he became president, a constitutionally and historically non-political position. Erdoğan uses his despotic powers for malign purposes, waging what amounts to a civil war against the Kurds of southeastern Turkey, helping ISIS, aggressing against neighbors, and promoting Sunni Islamism...And nObama supports Erdogan.  http://www.danielpipes.org/16823/why-i-rooted-for-the-turkish-coup-attempt

With a little over two months before the Sept. 30 deadline to fulfill his promise to the United Nations to resettle 10,000 Syrians, nObama has delivered 6,227 Syrian migrants to 38 states and dozens of cities. That means more than 1,000 have arrived just since July 1. Of the 6,227 total who arrived since Oct. 1, 2015, only 23 have been Christian and 10 Yazidi. All the of the remaining 6,194 Syrians, more than 98 percent, have been Sunni Muslim.

Scarborough Shoal
{usni.org} ~ Starting in early 2016, Scarborough Shoal suddenly became an issue of serious concern for U.S. officials. According to articles in the press reports information was obtained that strongly suggested that China was about to start turning Scarborough into another artificial island... similar to what they had done in the Spratlys. Apparently, one of the factors that suggested Beijing was about to act was a posting found on a Chinese website that included satellite photographs based on a construction bid proposal that would turn Scarborough into an island base similar to what China has constructed on seven Spratlys Islands. A modern Scarborough airfield with radar and other modern information, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) facilities so close to Philippine bases where U.S. has been granted rotational access by the Philippine government possess obvious strategic issues. As shown in the graphic below from the office of U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), turning Scarborough into a base with air search radars would allow China to have full-time radar coverage over most of Luzon...

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ The road to the future is filled with potholes. This metaphorical sentence speaks to a world war already in process. Despite denials from the present U.S. administration... the war is organized, promoted and managed by radical Islamists. Driven by an ideology, these religious fanatics want to undermine the West so that a global caliphate can be established. The war is in its twenty-fifth year, but the U.S. and its allies still do not understand the magnitude of the struggle. On July 14th, a day celebrating French freedom, Bastille Day, at least eighty-four people were wantonly killed, including ten children. If there were ever a moment for an appropriate response, this is it. Paris, Orlando, Istanbul, San Bernardino, Brussels, stand as stark reminders of the international reach of Islamic terror. And there isn't an end in sight. Moreover, the murderer who killed innocents on the Promenade des Anglais had a history of aggressive views known to French authorities, just as the Orlando killer was investigated by the FBI before his murderous spree. It is not as if clues aren't provided by savage extremists...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-road-to-war?f=must_reads

According to research by Jessica Vaughan Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies. (CIS) the ICE statistics presented to congress through the third week of June, therefore covering approximately 75 percent of the federal fiscal year reveal ICE has completed 168,781 deportations, a slight decline from the same point in 2015, but a continuation of the steep decline that has occurred since 2012, when the administration took steps to suppress interior enforcement and exempt the vast majority of illegal aliens from deportation. ICE is on pace to complete about 230,000 deportations, which would be the lowest number since 2006...  http://lidblog.com/obama-is-lying-deportations-are-down/

{townhall.com} ~ If there were a contest for the most stupid idea in politics, my choice would be the assumption that people would be evenly or randomly distributed in incomes, institutions, occupations or awards, in the absence of somebody doing somebody wrong.

Political crusades, bureaucratic empires and lucrative personal careers as grievance mongers have been built on the foundation of that assumption, which is almost never tested against any facts.

A recent article in the New York Times saw as a problem the fact that females are greatly under-represented among the highest rated chess players. Innumerable articles, TV stories and political outcries have been based on an "under-representation" of women in Silicon Valley, seen as a problem that needs to be solved.

Are there girls out there dying to play chess, who find the doors slammed shut in their faces? Are there women with Ph.D.s in computer science from M.I.T. and Cal Tech who get turned away when they apply for jobs in Silicon Valley?

Are girls and boys not allowed to have different interests? If girls had the same interest in chess as boys had, but were banned from chess clubs, that would be something very different from their not choosing to play chess as often as boys do. As for chess ratings, that is not subjective. It is based on which players, with which ratings, you have won against and lost to.

Are women and men not to be allowed to make different decisions as to how they choose to spend their time and live their lives?

Chess is not the only endeavor which can take a huge chunk of time out of your life, and unremitting efforts, to reach the top. If you want to become a top scientist, a partner in a big law firm or a top executive in a major corporation, you are very unlikely to do it working from 9 to 5, or taking a few years off, here and there, to have children and raise them.

Applying the same unsubstantiated assumption to differences in "representation" between different racial and ethnic groups likewise produces many loudly expressed grievances, political crusades, and millions of dollars from lawsuits charging discrimination -- all without a speck of evidence beyond numbers that do not match the prevailing assumptions.

People who base their conclusions on hard facts often reach very different conclusions than those who base their conclusions on the preconception that outcomes would be even or random in the absence of somebody treating somebody wrong.

Something as simple as age differences among groups can doom any assumption of even or random outcomes.

If every 20-year-old Puerto Rican in the United States had an income identical with the income of every 20-year-old Japanese American -- and identical incomes at every other age -- Japanese Americans as a group would still have a higher average income than Puerto Ricans in the United States. That is because the median age of Japanese Americans is more than 20 years older.

People with 20 years more work experience usually make higher incomes. And age difference is just one of many differences between groups.

You can study innumerable groups in countries around the world today, or over centuries of recorded history, without finding a single example of the even or random outcomes that are used as a benchmark for determining discrimination.

Nevertheless, courts of law -- including the Supreme Court of the United States -- use something that has never been found anywhere as a norm to which current realities are to be compared. Billions of dollars, in the aggregate, have changed hands as a result of individual lawsuits charging discrimination.

Life is undoubtedly unfair. But that is not the same as saying that the unfairness occurred wherever the statistics were collected. The origins of this unfairness often go back to different childhood environments for individuals or different geographic or cultural settings for groups and nations.

These differences between nations, as well as differences between individuals and groups, reflect the fact that the world "has never been a level playing field," as economic historian David S. Landes put it. Renowned historian Fernand Braudel said, "In no society have all regions and all parts of the population developed equally."

How long will we continue to take something that has never happened, and never had much chance of happening, as a norm?

The Best 1st Lady this country has had.

Posted by Scott Rickert on July 20, 2016 at 2:44pm
I think Melania Trump will make the best 1st lady this country has ever had. She speaks five languages very well and two others fairly well. The benefits of that is more important then most think. She is extremely intelligent, courageous, nice, caring and kind. We will be very lucky to have her in the white house in my humble opinion. Just being able to speak the different languages could help in foreign relations and eliminate the need for some interpreters. Having immigrated here legally gives her a unique perspective on the honor and privigeles of living in a free nation under the grestest document ever written. She actually had to take the classes, learn english, and pledge allegiance to our flag unlike the Immigrants here today both legally and illegally. It is important for immigrants to do this so they understand their rights afforded to them by our Constitution and the laws they must abide by.

 Division or Unity? Baton Rouge Reflections

Americans are yet again seeking to come to grips with a racially motivated attack on police. Three officers were murdered in Baton Rouge Sunday by a former Nation of Islam member. "Everyone right now focus on words and actions that can unite this country rather than divide it further," Barack nObama said. "We don't need inflammatory rhetoric. We don't need careless accusations thrown around to score political points or advance an agenda." Well said. The trouble is America has listened to nObama over these last seven and a half years and has seen and heard little in the way of unifying action or non-agenda driven rhetoric. Just the opposite — few have been more divisive with inflammatory rhetoric meant only to score political points than nObama.
          Case in point: When reflecting on the Louisiana murders Sunday, nObama chastised police: "If police organizations and departments acknowledge that there's a [race] problem and there's an issue, then that, too, is going to contribute to real solutions. And, as I said yesterday, that is what's going to ultimately help make the job of being a cop a lot safer." So if "racist cops" just admit they're racist, this will all clear up.
          His statements on law enforcement and race relations have fomented division rather than brought unity. In his speeches after several mass murders he has sought to push his anti-gun agenda by focusing on the availability of guns as being the primary problem, not on the criminals committing these horrible crimes. He has continually chastised those who disagree with his political views as being driven by selfishness and a lack of concern for the plight of others. He has refused to enforce immigration laws with which he disagrees and yet he has stood and proclaimed, "America is a nation of laws, which means I, as the president, am obligated to enforce the law." He called the Baton Rouge murders an "attack on Rule of Law." This from the personification of disregard for Rule of Law.
          So, as America copes with the recent atrocities in Baton Rouge and Dallas and seeks solutions to the growing unrest and divisions, we'd love to believe that nObama will follow his own advice on unity. That he will not use this latest tragedy to push his political agenda, but that he will seek to stand for those unifying principles that our Founding Fathers so carefully laid as our nation's foundation. But we're also not naïve. nObama's track record is utterly at odds with true racial healing.  -The Patriot Post

 28 Pages: Saudi Arabia and 9/11

The shaky U.S.-Saudi alliance took another hit Friday as Congress released 28 pages of previously classified information that implicates the Saudi government in the 9/11 attacks. Several government officials, including at least two in the Saudi intelligence apparatus, communicated with and/or assisted the hijackers. There were financial connections, as well, including some to the royal family itself.
          However, the report failed to amalgamate two very opposing viewpoints. Some, like Rep. Adam Schiff, argue: "The Intelligence Community and the 9/11 Commission, which followed the Joint Inquiry that produced these so-called 28 pages, investigated the questions they raised and was never able to find sufficient evidence to support them." But others, like Sen. Richard Blumenthal, say the allegations should not be taken lightly: "While the pages do not reach a conclusion regarding Saudi involvement in the 9/11 attacks, they provide more than enough evidence to raise serious concerns."
          Indeed. As Paul Sperry writes, "[T]he Saudi government's ties to the hijackers and other al Qaeda suspects were so extensive that the FBI's Washington field office created a special squad to investigate the Saudi angle. But this special focus on Saudi Arabia occurred belatedly, only after the 9/11 attacks, 'due to Saudi Arabia's status as an American "ally."' Astoundingly, investigative resources were not dedicated to Saudi involvement in financing and supporting terrorism prior to 9/11." Sperry summarily believes, "Yes, the Saudi government helped the 9/11 terrorists." Saudi Arabia — erroneously, it would appear — claims it didn't. About the only conclusion we can glean from Friday's release is that this issue is nowhere near over.  -The Patriot Post

Castro criticized Donald Trump's immigration positions during an April interview with Katie Couric, during which he also praised liar-Hillary Clinton's candidacy. Doing so apparently violated the Hatch Act, a federal law meant to create a firewall between government work and political activity for most administration officials.

The nObama administration made the request after the deadlocked high court ruled 4-4 last month, keeping the plan from being implemented. In the filing, the Justice Department asked the court to reconsider the case after a justice has been named to replace conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died unexpectedly in February.

The 28 Pages that Damn Saudi Arabia

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ After keeping them secret for 14 years, the White House has finally released the 28 pages that were removed from the 2002 Congressional inquiry into the 9/11 attacks and withheld from the final 9/11 Commission Report... More puzzling than the elusive pages is why nObama released them, and specifically, why now. The administration claims that the 28 pages clear the Saudis because they provide no conclusive evidence of their involvement in 9/11. The media echo chamber followed the administration's lead: Time, Al Arabiya, NBC, the Associated Press and many others reported that the pages contained "no smoking guns." But there are smoking guns. Those smoking guns expose the Saudi government as a sponsor of terrorism, and, by proxy, improve Iran's standing in the Middle East. Author Paul Sperry writes that the 28 pages "show the hijackers got help from Saudi diplomats and spies." And while the evidence might not meet the threshold that the current Department of Justice requires for an indictment, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) described it as "a chilling description of Saudi ties to terrorists, Saudi payments to terrorists, and Saudi obstruction of U.S. antiterrorism investigations" and found "more than enough evidence to raise serious concerns."...

Is the Party Over for Bushism?

{freedomsback.com} ~ Neither George W. Bush, the Republican Party nominee in 2000 and 2004, nor Jeb, the dethroned Prince of Wales, will be in Cleveland. Nor will John McCain or Mitt Romney, the last two nominees.

These former leaders would like it thought that high principle keeps them away from a GOP convention that would nominate Donald Trump. Petulance, however, must surely play a part. Bush Republicans feel unappreciated, and understandably so.

For Trump’s nomination represents not only a rejection of their legacy but a repudiation of much of post-Cold War party dogma.

America crossed a historic divide and entered a new era. Even should Trump lose, there is likely no going back.

Trump has attacked NAFTA, MFN for China and the South Korea trade deal as badly negotiated. But the problem lies not just in the treaties but in the economic philosophy upon which they were based.

Free-trade globalism was a crucial component of the New World Order, whose creation George H. W. Bush called the new great goal of U.S. foreign policy at the United Nations in October of 1991.

Bush II and Jeb are also free-trade zealots.

But when the American people discovered that the export of their factories and jobs to low-wage countries, and sinking salaries, were the going price of globalism, they rebelled, turned to Trump, and voted for him to put America first again.

Does anyone think that if Trump loses, we are going back to Davos-Dubai ideology, and Barack nObama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership is our future? Even liar-Hillary Clinton has gotten the message and dumped TPP.

Economic nationalism is the future.

The only remaining question is how many trade deficits shall America endure, and how many defeats shall the Republican Party suffer, before it formally renounces the free-trade fanaticism that has held it in thrall.

The Bush idea of remaking America into a more ethnically, culturally, diverse nation through mass immigration, rooted in an egalitarian ideology, also appears to be yesterday’s enthusiasm.

With Republicans backing Trump’s call, after the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, for a moratorium on Muslim immigration, and the massacres in Paris, Nice and the Pulse Club in Orlando, Florida, diversity seems to be less celebrated.

Here, the Europeans are ahead of us. Border posts are being re-established across the continent. Behind the British decision to quit the EU, was resistance to more immigration from the Islamic world and Eastern Europe.

On Sunday, French President Francois Hollande was booed at memorial services in Nice for the hundreds massacred and maimed by a madman whose family roots were in the old French colony of Tunisia.

Marine Le Pen of the National Front, who wants to halt immigration and quit the EU, is running far ahead of Hollande in the polls for next year’s elections.

As for the foreign policies associated with the Bushes, the New World Order of Bush I and the crusade for global democracy of Bush II “to end tyranny in our world” are seen as utopian.

Most Republicans ask: How have all these interventions and wars improved our lives or our world?

With 6,000 U.S. dead, 40,000 wounded, and trillions of dollars sunk, the Taliban is not defeated in Afghanistan. Al-Qaida and ISIS have outposts in a dozen countries. Iraq, Syria, Libya and Yemen are bleeding and disintegrating. Turkey appears headed for an Islamist and dictatorial future. The Middle East appears consumed in flames. (Thanks to nObama)

Yet, despite Trump’s renunciation of Bush war policies, and broad support to talk to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, the neocons, who engineered many of the disasters in the Middle East, and their hawkish allies, seem to be getting their way for a new Cold War.

They are cheering the deployment of four battalions of NATO troops to the Baltic states and Poland, calling for bringing Sweden and Finland into NATO, pushing for sending weapons to Ukraine, and urging a buildup on the Black Sea as well as the Baltic Sea.

They want to scuttle the Iranian nuclear deal and have the U.S. Navy confront China to support the rival claims of Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia to rocks and reefs in the South China Sea, some of which are under water at high tide.

Who represents the future of the GOP?

On trade and immigration, the returns are in. Should the GOP go back to globalism, amnesty or open borders, it will sunder itself and have no future.

And if the party is perceived as offering America endless wars in the Middle East and constant confrontations with the great nuclear powers, Russia and China, over specks of land or islets having nothing to do with the vital interests of the United States, then it will see its anti-interventionist wing sheared off.

At issue in the battle between the Party of Bush and Party of Trump: Will we make America safe again, and great again? Or are globalism, amnesty, and endless interventions our future?

Do we put the world first, or America First?

Sen. Portman Bill Deserves Tea Party Support

Posted by Jack Inglewood on July 20, 2016 at 11:30am

Today in America, we can’t even go a day without hearing a story about the IRS abusing its power and unjustly harassing American taxpayers. Perhaps the most famous case in recent memory is the IRS’s targeted campaign against Tea Party members. The IRS’s unjust and discriminatory actions led Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) to write successful pieces of legislation that curtailed the agency’s power, all of which were signed into law by President Obama.

In a further attempt to rein in the IRS’s misuse and misappropriation of power, Sen. Portman has again stepped up to the plate and introduced a new bill, S.2809. This new bill seeks to constrain the agency's aggressive litigation tactics and prevent the outsourcing of audits to private law firms. This is good news, because the IRS has been known to outsource audits to liberal law firms for both political and financial gain.

The agency's audit of Microsoft is the greatest evidence of the need to pass Portman's new bill. Microsoft’s audit began nearly a decade ago and has still not been closed out. Year after year, the IRS has dragged Microsoft through one investigation after another in a desperate attempt to find the elusive smoking gun. Their never-ending request for Microsoft computer files and employee interviews has not been successful, and yet the IRS refuses to close the audit. They have also denied Microsoft’s request to have a hearing before the impartial and independent IRS Appeals Office. Microsoft has even politely asked that the IRS simply give them a dollar amount that they think is owed to the government so that the company can move on with its business. 

Rather than working with Microsoft to find a resolution to the audit process, the IRS made the unlawful decision to bring in two private law firms to continue the audit investigation. The first is Quinn Emanuel, a liberal-leaning law firm that does not even list tax law as one of its 33 areas of practice. The other is David Boies’ law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner. David Boies’ name may sound familiar -- he was the Department of Justice lawyer assigned to break up Microsoft under the Clinton Administration.

Through the use of  private law firms, the IRS is able to illegally sidestep many of the laws and principles our government was founded upon. Quinn Emanuel and Boies, Schiller & Flexner have been authorized to conduct examinations and take sworn testimony, and yet federal law states that only the Treasury Secretary and his limited delegates may perform such activities. As Senator Hatch stated:

"Unlike private contractors, Treasury Department officials are required to swear an oath to the Constitution and are subject to rules of conduct and federal law regulating their interactions with taxpayers.”

This action sets a dangerous precedent. By outsourcing their authority, the IRS is able to conduct investigations beyond the limits of the law and without any requirements for accountability.

Sen. Portman’s bill will place restrictions on the various tactics that the IRS employs in order to keep an audit going on infinitude. Taxpayers will now have a path to resolution that does not include going to court. Portman's bill will also put an end to the IRS’s ability to hire private law firms, all while ensuring that taxpayers have the right to an appeal with access to the independent IRS appeals office.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen was correct when he stated that "Taxpayers need to be confident that they will be treated fairly, no matter what their background or affiliations." The Republican-controlled Congress should make the commissioner's vision a reality and pass the Portman Bill immediately. The American taxpayers are counting on the body to do so.

Ted Cruz and John Kasich must do whats right and honor thier loyalty agreements to support the now official candidate Mr. Donald J. Trump for President of our great nation. Technically Trump had already won the nomination. The recent actions of the anti-Trump Republican candidates have sickened me as well as many others. The RNC is supposed to be where ALL Republicans come together to support the PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE. I have already lost all respect for John Kasich because of his horrible, disrespectful, and dishonorable behavior especially in his own home state.

Patricia Smith targets Hillary

By Daniel John Sobieski

 

Two speeches at the opening night of the GOP Convention stood in stark contrast in both their content and their treatment by the lamestream media. The chattering class on the left focused on Melania Trump’s alleged plagiarism of Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008. They have largely ignored Patricia Smith, mother of Benghazi casualty Sean Smith, and her documentation of Hillary’s lies to the parents of the Benghazi dead in front of their son’s caskets.

Melania may have paraphrased too close to the edge, but borrowing clichés about hard work and family does not plagiarism make and, even so, plagiarism is not perjury, as serial liar Hillary Clinton arguably committed in testimony under oath before Congress, Neither did she show Hillary’s callous disregard for the families of the Benghazi dead that Patricia Smith focused on in her riveting convention speech....

 Ginsburg Can't Put Toothpaste Back in Tube

Regrets, she's had a few. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is now sorry for speaking her mind about Donald Trump so unrestrainedly in the last few days. "On reflection," she now says, "my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them. Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect." Circumspection was at least on display from her fellow justice, Stephen Breyer, who wisely dodged, "If I had an opinion [on her comments], I wouldn't express it."
          We suspect Ginsburg's regret is influenced at least in part from backlash even from fellow leftist travelers. "Washington is more than partisan enough without the spectacle of a Supreme Court justice flinging herself into the mosh pit," The New York Times editorialized.
          The question now is whether she'll have the decency to resign or at minimum recuse herself in future cases involving either Trump or liar-Hillary Clinton. Her ability to be impartial is permanently suspect — as if it wasn't already. And being "more circumspect" in the future doesn't mean her mind is changed. The problem with a resignation, however, is that any successor either Barack nObama or liar-Clinton might nominate would be at least as leftist and without the public relations problems. So as we've said so many times we've lost count, the principle issue in this election might just be the Supreme Court. And on that, Trump is vastly superior.  -The Patriot Post

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
David Limbaugh: "You would think that at a funeral of fallen cops — ones murdered by a self-avowed hater of cops and whites — nObama would keep his powder dry. He could have just been neutral — silent on the matter. Instead, he launched into a diatribe about the allegedly unequal treatment of blacks in the criminal justice system. Let me ask you: If you were the parent of an individual slain at the hands of a certain hater, would you want the eulogizer to shift into criminal defense mode for the killer? Would you expect him to categorically denounce the criminal justice system and law enforcement as racially tainted, to whatever degree? Would you expect him to stump for gun control? To align himself with the Black Lives Matter agenda? ... I pray and pray that one day, a significant percentage of all minorities in this nation will come to realize that one political party is exploiting and damaging them, and it's not the party they think it is."   -The Patriot Post

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Starving Venezuelans continued their search for food this weekend when more than 100,000 crossed into Columbia seeking food and medicine... It was the second weekend in a row that Venezuela's socialist government opened the long-closed border with Colombia, and by 6 a.m. Sunday, a line of would-be shoppers snaked through the entire town of San Antonio del Tachira. Some had traveled in chartered buses from cities 10 hours away. Venezuela's government closed all crossings a year ago to crack down on smuggling along the 1,378-mile (2,219 kilometer) border. It complained that speculators were causing shortages by buying up subsidized food and gasoline in Venezuela and taking them to Colombia, where they could be sold for far higher prices...  http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/123000-venezuelans-cross-border-columbia-looking-food

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ China has been busy. In addition to the continued building up of artificial islands and reefs in contested areas, the country has added assets to other islands... The PLA has set up radar and airstrips on the Spratly Islands. This is problematic since these could be used for military purposes although China claims it's for civilian use. A more troubling development is on the Paracels where it is believed they now have surface-to-air capabilities on Woody Island. In recent weeks Chinese ships entered Japanese territorial waters as Japan was holding military drills with India and the US. In addition, last week saw China protest over Japan's scrambled jet response to its fighter jet patrols of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Why so much activity? Sign point to a position-bolstering show of force before an upcoming court case. Possibly as early as this week the permanent court of arbitration (PCA) in The Hague will hand down its ruling about the dispute over territorial waters between the Philippines and China. This suit was possible because both countries are signatories to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Although the ruling does not address sovereignty, it could impact how Economic Exclusive Zones (EEZ) are determined when it comes to artificial islands like the ones China has been reclaiming for years...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/south-china-sea-update?f=must_reads

They know that their free run at their enemies will not last much longer, and so they are eager to grab whatever they can as fast as they can... They expect things will get tougher when the next president takes over in January. For the moment they expect the nObama administration to make nice to Iran and Russia, Cuba and China, and the other members of the global alliance arrayed against us. There will be more, and I will be surprised if there are not more attacks here in the United States. It's not as if they are not trying;  we keep arresting would-be jihadis and sometimes they succeed. Orlando, for example. And today, as I write, Baton Rouge. And then Milwaukee.

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Expect the nObama administration to take more victory laps this week by claiming Iran has complied with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear deal that reached its first anniversary on July 14... However, recent press reports paint a very different picture, one that confirms its critics' worst fears: massive Iranian violations of the agreement. In an annual security report issued this month, German intelligence said Iran made a clandestine effort last year to acquire illicit nuclear technology and equipment from German companies at a "quantitatively high level," and that "it is safe to expect that Iran will continue its intensive procurement activities in Germany using clandestine methods to achieve its objectives." A German intelligence agency reported 141 clandestine Iranian attempts to acquire nuclear and missile technology in 2015 versus 83 in 2013. According to a July 7 memo from the Institute for Science and International Security, Iran recently tried, unsuccessfully, to covertly purchase tons of high-strength carbon fiber, which it uses to make rotors for uranium enrichment centrifuges. Under the JCPOA, Iran is required to seek approval for such purchases from a JCPOA procurement working group. The Institute said the JCPOA group probably would not have approved this sale, since Iran has enough carbon fiber to replace the rotors of centrifuges it is permitted to operate under the agreement... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/first-anniversary-of-iran-nuclear-deal-marred-by-massive-cheating?f=must_reads

{frontpagemag.com} ~ Every calendar quarter the United Nations Security Council holds an extensive debate on the Israeli-Palestinian “situation.” The Israeli and Palestinian UN representatives make speeches following the Secretary General’s report on the current status... which are normally predictable restatements of their respective positions. This time, however, Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon, addressing the Security Council at its July 12th meeting, presented new graphic evidence of Hezbollah’s alarming arsenal of rockets and missiles located in civilian areas of southern Lebanon. Ten years ago, when Security Council Resolution 1701 was adopted, ending the war that had broken out between Israel and Hezbollah, the terrorist group was estimated to have had about 7000 rockets. The resolution called for Hezbollah and other armed groups not officially a part of the Lebanese government’s armed forces to relinquish their weapons. Instead, precisely the opposite has happened. Hezbollah never stopped its arms build-up, which has been funded and supplied principally from the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, Iran. Hezbollah now has approximately 120,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israeli civilian population centers.  By way of comparison, Ambassador Danon said that “more missiles are hidden underground in 10,000 square kilometers of Lebanon than the above-ground 4 million square kilometers” of the European North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries... http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263507/hezbollahs-massive-arms-build-lebanese-civilian-joseph-klein

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The most recent horrific terror attack, this time in Nice, France on Bastille Day, is the latest of a string of attacks overseas as well as inside the United States... It has shaken people around the world, causing them to question what their governments need to do to protect them. Our leaders are forever reacting to the latest attack, placing us on an elevated defensive posture, whenever and wherever it may occur. Often news reports are aired that show video clips of heavily armed police officers patrolling our airports and other venues in response to the latest attack no matter where the attack was carried out, to create the illusion of protecting us. This perspective can most generously be called folly. The terror threats we face do not go up and down like the stock market. While it makes sense to marshal snow plow drivers and those that drive the trucks that spread salt on highways when a blizzard is forecast for the region, in preparation for the impending storm to quickly clear the roads, terrorism presents a constant threat...  http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/263544/immigration-and-terrorist-threat%C2%A0-michael-cutler

On the Brink of National Race Wars,
Now Is Not the Time to Mince Words
by Michael Brown

{townhall.com} ~ As America stands at the precipice of deadly, coast-to-coast, race wars, this is not the time to mince words. I would rather speak the truth in love, even if it means offending some, than avoid confrontation out of fear of offense. In return, I expect others to be just as candid with me.

I also recognize that, if racial tensions escalate in our nation and more blood is shed, the ones who are likely to suffer the most and perhaps the longest are Black Americans. And so, I write this column because I do believe that Black Lives Matter.

Prof. George Yancey, himself an African American, has also urged for open, candid conversations, writing, “Maybe now with people on all sides of the political and racial arguments feeling such pain, we can begin taking the necessary steps to move towards real racial reconciliation.”

It is in that spirit that I write this column, fully aware that I’m not addressing the concerns of Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, or other minorities in our midst, but that is the nature of this article. I trust all readers will understand.

Although I am a White American more specifically, a White male, identifying more specifically as a Jewish believer in Jesus, I’m not speaking of “us” and “them” in this column. Rather, I’m addressing all of us together, letting the chips fall where they may.

Shall we proceed?

1) White Americans sometimes do not see racism when it is there; Black Americans sometimes see racism when it is not there. If we will take the time to hear one another out, filling in each other’s blind spots, we can move from perception to reality.

2) There is a real reason for Black frustration and anger. When Whites minimize the pain of Blacks or, worse still, claim that they are just being pawns of the media or political leaders, they deeply insult their Black brothers and sisters. Most Whites really do not understand what it is like to grow up as a minority culture, and they cannot relate to the historic suffering of Blacks in America, a history which is not as far in the distant past we would all like it to be.

3) All Black lives matters, not just the lives of Blacks who die at the hands of White cops. White critics have rightly asked, “Where are the rallies and protests when a three-year-old Black child dies from random, inner-city gun fire? And what about the disproportionate number of Black babies killed in the womb, not to mention Blacks killed by other Blacks?” A Black man named Richard wrote on Facebook, “We cannot pick and choose when we decide to make a stand. We're either all in (we must address black on black crime in addition to the murder of innocent blacks) or we're not in at all. We can't let these race baiting politicians further divide us; if you haven't noticed they want a race war. We must stand up and unite, both black and white and whatever other ethnicity and re-claim our freedom.”

4) All rhetoric that leads to violence, let alone that calls for violence, must be categorically renounced and repudiated. Not a few leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement need to do some serious soul searching in light of the intentional, targeted shooting of cops in several states this past week. Yancey characterizes Black Lives Matter as “a group that pushes its own racialized agenda and expects compliance instead of communication.” Their irresponsible rhetoric can easily lead to bloodshed.

5) Everyone must work together to address injustice and inequality wherever it raises its head, be it in the courts or on the streets. Blacks would be greatly encouraged if they saw their White colleagues standing up for their cause rather than always taking a defensive posture. Do Whites automatically give the benefit of the doubt to other Whites, assuming Black claims of injustice are illegitimate?

6) It is social suicide to launch a war against our law enforcement agents. The police do a good, important, often thankless, frequently life-threatening job, and without their sacrificial service, our nation would descend into chaos. The few bad cops who are out there are the exception to the rule and they must be held accountable. Law and order is a good thing, not a bad thing, and as one black caller to my radio show noted (he was a career cop), when the bullets started flying in Dallas last week, the crowds ran from the shots; the police ran towards them to try to take out the killers.

7) It is important today to state that All Lives Matter. I understand that if a black man is bleeding to death on the side of the road, having been shot without cause by an irresponsible White cop, it is insulting to say, “Yes, he’s dying, but let’s remember that All Lives Matter.” But when White policemen lay dying in the streets it is insensitive not to say All Lives Matter.

8) There is no comparison between a policeman overreacting and killing someone and another person intentionally targeting policemen for death. I do not believe for a second that white cops get up in the morning and say to themselves, “I hope I can kill a black person today!” Sadly, a black man decided last week that he would murder as many cops as he could. There’s no true comparison between the two, whatever the skin color of the victims or perpetrators. An actual parallel to the evil the black Michael Xavier Johnson reportedly committed in Dallas on Thursday is the mass murder last summer that the white Dylann Storm Roof confessed to committing at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina. In each case, an apparently evil, twisted, racist young man targeted innocent people of another race and murdered them in a cold, deliberate, premeditated fashion.

9) The elephant in the room is the breakdown of the Black American family. This was stressed to me by another black caller to my show. The disastrous, generational effects of fatherlessness are well-documented, and with illegitimacy in Black America at an almost unimaginable high of 74 percent, this is not simply a Black crisis; it is a national crisis. We got into this situation together, and we can only get out of it together.

10) There is far more that unites than divides us. We are, after all, one race, with each of us equally created in God’s image and equally loved by our Creator. And all of us as Americans have the same right to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” It is the devil who wants to divide and destroy us and the Lord who wants to unite and strengthen us. Let us work with the Lord, not against Him.

Speaking now as a White American to my Black American brothers and sisters, I say from the heart: America cannot be great unless you are thriving, and my own life will not be full if your lives are not full.

 The Progressively Bloody Price of 
 nObama/liar-Clinton Appeasement

Mark Alexander: In Chattanooga, Tennessee, we are preparing solemn observances for the five military personnel murdered by an Islamic terrorist on July 16th of last year.
          Barack nObama waited five long days before ordering flags to half staff in their honor. His administration waited five long months before declaring the attack terrorism, and finally issuing Purple Hearts to those killed and wounded at the Naval Reserve center here. The Chattanooga attack was followed by increasingly violent attacks in San Bernardino and Orlando.
          Notably, my friend, CDR Tim White, was the only armed person at the Navy facility — and he returned fire to provide cover for his people. As I wrote after the Jihad attack at Ft. Hood attack, military personnel are prohibited from having firearms on military bases gun free, but The Patriot Post and military support groups objected to prosecution of White and the Navy filed no charges. In fact, today the Navy officially announced it will require armed personnel at Naval centers nationwide, no longer leaving them exposed as "gun-free zones."
          Last night, two Americans, Sean Copeland and his 11-year-old son Brodie from Austin, Texas, were among more than 85 men, women and children murdered, and many more injured, after Islamist Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, yelling "Allahu Akbar," plowed his deadly 25-ton "assault weapon" into crowds celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France. This was the bloodiest attack on French soil since last November's Paris attack by another "JV team" member, as nObama calls them.
          There were also French Muslims among the infidels slaughtered by their fellow Muslim on the Promenade of Angels. Hamza Charrihi, whose mother was among the dead, told L'Express: "She wore the veil of Islam and practiced a true and balanced religion ... a real Islam. Not the one of the terrorists."
          The assailant had "assault rifles and grenades," all of which were later determined to be inert. But his assault truck was anything but.
          Bouhlel and his truck were on the closed street hours before the celebration. He had been questioned several times by French police. Though he had been investigated by police for a violent crime in the last year, they did not ask him to move his truck — most likely avoiding any charges of profiling. So, let's quickly review.
          After 9/11, George Bush declared a global "War on Terror," prosecuting al-Qa'ida terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere — and keeping the battle on their soil rather than ours.
          Shortly after his 2008 election, nObama declared an end to the War on Terror and vowed to retreat from the region.
          As we noted in 2011, nObama's foreign policy appeasement, particularly his ill-advised re-election campaign retreat from Iraq, created a meltdown in Middle East, and the resulting power vacuum was quickly filled by the Islamic State.
          Consequently, hundreds of thousands of Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, and growing numbers of civilians in Europe and the United States are being murdered. Their blood is, irrevocably, on nObama's hands, and by extension, that of his inept former secretary of state and heir-apparent, liar-Hillary Clinton.
          For her part, when asked about the latest Islamic attack, liar-Clinton reasserted her ineptitude. "They would love to draw the United States into a ground war," she said. "I would be very focused on the intelligence surge." Asked about the Islamic ideology behind the attacks, she said, "It's not so important what we call these people as what we do about them."
          Memo to liar-Clinton: We are in a ground war right now, and it is, with increasing frequency and lethality, on western ground. As for an "intelligence surge," she has not experienced one of those since partnering with Bill liar-Clinton back in 1975. On "what we do about them," liar-Clinton, like nObama, has no idea.
tUbCCjx_EoyvLuRlHRp1ZVb9gpybNFWmowyPNHsnZsxDqJHVhM7U92WO2c_vkEbzzGNG8NPeV9kAXdHD34TTNqj7PJAGybSRE4X7OLf0lCbw17Jcu1EkpBpS716now=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, nObama's former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, repeated what he has also been warning about the War on Terror since nObama ordered the withdrawal from Iraq: We're "losing the war." He added, "The enemy has more than doubled in capacity and capability and geographical footprint around the world. We've lost the strategic initiative in this war. And the enemy has the strategic initiative."
          Flynn asserts, "Good intelligence has to start with properly and clearly defining this enemy. Within the government, within the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, [nObama] has eliminated any training or any use of the term 'radical Islam.' That's what we're facing. The president says, 'What difference does it make what you call the enemy.' Are you kidding me?"
          Yesterday, political observer Charles Krauthammer declared, "nObama is certainly responsible for the resurgence. ... Al-Qa'ida in Iraq, the progenitor of ISIS, was defeated, humiliated in 2008 by the [Bush administration]. We had the boot on the neck of ISIS and al-Qa'ida in Iraq and released it. nObama thought if we could run away, if we could withdraw, if we get out of the region, we could show the Muslims, as he said in the Cairo speech, that we are their friends and everything would be fine. Of course the opposite happened — he's been in denial."
         With equal clarity, Newt Gingrich responded, "Let me be as blunt and direct as I can be. Western civilization is in a war. We should frankly test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door. We need to be fairly relentless about defining who our enemies are. Anybody who goes on a website favoring ISIS or al-Qa'ida or other terrorist groups, that should be a felony, and they should go to jail."
          Following each attack on American soil, nObama has politically pivoted to "gun control" as the solution. But nether "gun control" nor "truck control" will resolve this metastasizing threat. As for all the media "terrorism experts," two key points.
          First, some have suggested that because ISIL is claimed to be losing ground in Iraq, that assaults in the West are increasing.
          That claim is absurd. As I have warned, Jihadistan, the worldwide caliphate that Islamist extremists are seeking to establish, is not about geographic territory. It is about ideological territory.
          Second, they are trotting out the "lone wolf" profile, but that claim is equally absurd. All Jihad Terrorists are directly tied to worldwide Jihad by way of the Qur'an, the foundational fabric linking all of Islamist violence. Describing Islamist assailants as "lone wolf" actors or "radicalized" constitutes a lethal misunderstanding of the Jihadi threat.
          Finally, as I warned in "Islamic Jihad — Target USA," "The most likely near-term form of attack against civilians on our turf will be modeled after the conventional Islamist assaults in the Middle East — vehicle bombs, suicide bombs and mass shootings, as we have now seen in across Western Europe and increasingly in the U.S."
          But as I noted previously, Islamists have proposed using vehicles as assault weapons since 9/11. Recall that Mohammed Taheri-azar drove his SUV into a crowd of students at the University of North Carolina. And Omeed Aziz Popal drove his SUV in a crowd at a Jewish community center in San Francisco. A new easily accessible weapon of mass murder has emerged.  -The Patriot Post

It's official: Donald Trump has chosen Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate. Trump delayed the news conference in light of the attack in France, but Pence had to either opt in or out today because Indiana law prohibits him from simultaneously running for governor and vice president.
          Clearly, Pence is a strategically safe and smart pick. What he brings to the ticket is a solid record built on socially and fiscally conservative principles. He is a genuinely nice guy and a traditional values family man. Pence describes himself as, "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order." He's a former host of a conservative talk radio program who was elected to congress in 2000, and who then won election as governor of Indiana in 2012. He's good friends with House Speaker Paul Ryan, which would help advance Trump's agenda.
          He has been a favorite of the Tea Party movement. While a congressman, he willingly broke with George W. Bush, voting against "No Child Left Behind" and Medicare drug expansion. While governor of Indiana, he cut tax rates helping to spark an economic recovery. He's also a big proponent of free trade, having supported of recent Pacific and European trade initiatives.
          From Trump's perspective, having Pence as his running mate communicates that he is serious about standing for conservative principles. While Pence won't be the aggressive attack dog that Newt Gingrich or Chris Christie would be, passing over Gingrich or Christie doesn't mean both won't continue to be effective surrogates. As a seasoned politician, Pence knows how to handle the pressures of public office and the media. Now the pair have the weekend to make a splash before next week's convention.  -The Patriot Post

{aei.org} ~ On Friday, as Turks were out and about to mark the start of the evening, elements of the Turkish military sought to stage a coup. There was reason to see such violence coming... Last March, we speculated here at AEIdeas about the possibility that a coup might be brewing. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey’s president and strongman, has only grown increasingly dictatorial and erratic since. What really happened, though, remains unclear, and conspiracies swirl. Below are five questions to consider as Turkey teeters on the precipice:...

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Witnessing the myriad problems facing America, the shock and confusion as to what's happening to this great nation is overwhelming. From San Bernadino to Orlando, we have experienced multiple "lone wolf" Jihadist attacks by Americans against Americans on our home soil... Overseas, we are experiencing many foreign policy and national security challenges, including a resurgent Russia, barbarism by ISIS, and a defiant North Korea. We are facing possible economic meltdown in the U.S. with the debt surging beyond $19-trillion and the continued loss of American economic power to overseas competitors. Finally, we are seeing American police officers being targeted for assassination as they are demeaned by many attempting to cause racial strife. America previously appeared so strong and secure, and yet we now wonder why we face so many internal issues and loss of respect overseas. What I propose as the answer is provocative, but I believe the facts will show many of our problems directly and indirectly resulting from the marginalization of the ideal of manhood... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/is-america-losing-its-manhood?f=must_reads

After quickly dispensing with the formalities of eulogizing the slain officers, nObama demanded that "even those who dislike the phrase ‘black lives matter'" should "be able to hear the pain of Alton Sterling's family". Alton Sterling was a convicted sex offender, burglar and violent criminal who was shot while reaching for a gun. His family may mourn him, just as every criminal's family mourns their own, but it was obscene to class him together with five police officers who were murdered by a violent racist while doing their duty. It is even more obscene when nObama's favorite sex offender displaces the murdered police officers...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/exploiting-dead-cops-to-promote-their-killers?f=must_reads

This time, Nice, France.  A truck crashed into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France, on July 14, 2016... In my opinion, Islam is the problem because there are Muslims who take its scripture, as gospel and carry out its divisive and deadly provisions. The barbarity and variety of actions of Islamic extremists are seen daily around the globe, committed under the banner of Islam, and have become so commonplace that the world has come to view them as part and parcel of a troubled humanity. And from time to time, the world is shocked into a passing and momentary realization of the evil deeds these Islamist robots commit...and quickly gets over it and does nothing to seriously address this affliction of humanity. The Islamic State - also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh, have taken credit for the unconscionable brutal attacks since it emerged into existence. ISIS has actually killed more Muslims than certainly members of any other religion," noted Democracy Now, by Amy Goodman after the Paris Attacks. Muslims are the victims of "Between 82 and 97% of Terrorism-Related Fatalities": According to the US Government.  Based on the above premises, Muslims must be on the frontline fighting ISIS...

He labels as "violent extremism" what really is "Islamic extremism" in an effort to hide who should be held accountable for such acts. The second is his refusal to focus on the real cause of racial tensions currently plaguing the country. While deaths have occurred during the course of white-on-black police arrests, he again chooses to hide who really should be held accountable.

The Palestinian incentive program
for killing Jews

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Whoever said crime doesn't pay hasn't talked to the family of a Palestinian terrorist. For the Palestine Liberation Organization and the related Palestinian Authority, the killers of Jewish Israelis are considered "martyrs." And as such, their families are paid for the service these murderers have done for the Palestinian cause.

This has come to light after a Palestinian, Mohammed Tarayra, stabbed Hallel Yaffa Ariel, a 13-year-old Israeli girl, as she was sleeping in her bed. The stabbing was part of a wave of attacks by Palestinians who have for nearly eight months been shooting, stabbing and running down Jews with the encouragement of social media and popular songs.

According to the latest report of the Russian, European, U.S. and U.N. group known as the Quartet, there have been 250 of these kinds of attacks since October. It says, "These terrorist attacks, which have been carried out mostly by young, unaffiliated individuals, contribute to the sense among Israelis of living under constant threat."

But this misses important context. The Quartet's report, which is even-handed to a fault, makes no mention of the "martyr's fund," through which the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization pay the families of all Palestinian prisoners and the families of martyrs. So while there is no evidence that the Palestinian government plans these killing sprees, it encourages them as a legitimate act of resistance.

As Commentary's Evelyn Gordon writes, the prisoners and the families of the prisoners themselves are actually paid a higher wage than what most Palestinians earn for nonviolent work.

The origins of these payments goes back a long way. Before the Palestinian Authority was established in the 1990s through the Oslo peace process, the Palestine Liberation Organization paid the families of "martyrs" and prisoners detained by Israel. That practice became standardized during the Second Intifadah of 2000 to 2005. The Israelis even found documents in the late Yasser Arafat's compound that showed payments to families of suicide bombers.

For years the Israelis and the Americans didn't do much on this issue. The Israel Defense Forces work closely with Palestinian security services to keep the peace in the West Bank. Meanwhile, the Bush and nObama administrations have pressed both sides to restart negotiations over a final status.

This is starting to change. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that he would begin withholding part of the tax revenue that Israel sends to the Palestinian Authority -- equal to the amount paid to "martyrs."

Frank Lowenstein, the U.S. special envoy for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, told me the U.S. government has recently started withholding funding for the same reason. "We have robustly complied with legislation passed in 2014 that requires us to deduct from development assistance to the Palestinian Authority for Palestinian payments to individuals imprisoned for acts of terrorism," he said. The amount of development assistance that has been withheld is classified.

The Palestinian Authority seems to be aware of this and has figured out ways to hide these payments to the families of murderers, by creating new accounts. Sen. Dan Coates, a Republican from Indiana, has introduced new legislation aimed at closing this loophole.

One problem is that the payments to terrorists' families are exceedingly popular these days. Ziad Asali, the president and founder of the American Task Force on Palestine, told me that in recent years the media and politicians have elevated these payments to something "sacred in Palestinian politics."

Asali said the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, and others are too weak to stop it. "This is where we find ourselves now. The vast majority understand there has to be an end to violence; it's not serving the Palestinians in any way," Asali said. "But I think nobody really has the stature and clout to confront these issues publicly."

Asali is getting at one of the many tragedies today for the Palestinians. Abbas came to power initially after he condemned suicide bombing and terrorism during the Second Intifadah. His bravery at the time to confront Arafat earned him a reputation as a peacemaker and is one reason President Barack nObama has never publicly criticized him with the same ferocity he reserves for Netanyahu.

But today Abbas is in the 11th year of a four-year term as president. He has made some vague statements opposing the recent wave of violence. But he never condemns the murderers by name. Meanwhile, his own Fatah Party glorified Tarayra on its official Facebook page.

No wonder the killer's family is so proud of him. His mother told a local news outlet: "My son is a hero. He made me proud. My son died as a martyr defending Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque," according to a translation from Palestinian Media Watch.

Israel's alleged peace partner appears to agree. If the past is precedent, she will receive a steady check to honor her son's murder of a 13-year-old Jewish girl in her sleep.

Chaos In Cleveland

Posted by luis✩USA on July 19, 2016 at 10:11am

I remember having posted a thread on a now defunct tp site covering the 2012 RNC Convention in Tampa.  It was lively. Most of the site's members were [more] on the same page (the States' sovereignty and the USC) than we are today.  It's no mystery why so many so called "tp" or "conservative" sites have either become ghost towns, or have shutdown all together.  Consttutional principles are out the window. The present only merits a mere comment on a forum board.

My summation of the RNC's first night at Cleveland is that the DC machine is still up to its old tricks. In 2012 it shutdown the voices / delegates that OPPOSE their stronghold on future election rules.  The most notable...and perhaps a lethal...difference there was that it was totally DISorganized.  And, except for a few speakers, like Rudy Giuliani and Navy SEAL (ret) Marcus Lutrell, and including the announcement of the ACQUITTAL of the last Baltimore police officer that had been brought up on charges, for instance, the first night was lackluster and  insubstantial at best.

To add salt to injury, I'll give Fox News and the RNC Convention the following "blackeyes":

1.  To The Oreilly Factor - for having interrupted the broadcast when the mother of a Benghazi victim took the stage and gave a heart wrenching speech - to take a live call by Trump.. It should've went uninterrupted. 

2.  The obviously plagiarized portions of the speech given by Mellania Trump. It is now the lead story at ALL the media outlets; and has completely overshadowed the little "good" there was during the Convention's first night; which I shall include the annnoucement of . ..

3.  Then there's FNC's drama queen, Shepard Smith who was on the phone w/ fmr LA governor Bobby Jimdal responding to the murders of yet THREE MORE police officers in Baton Rouge.

(excerpt)

Jindal said:

“…Shepard I will say this, look, it, it is time for folks across party lines, across ideological lines to con–to condemn this violence, to condemn this insanity. We gotta come together. We’ve got to say that all lives matter. It doesn’t matter what color you are: Black, white, brown, red, it doesn’t matter. All lives matter. We’ve got to protect and value our belief…”

Smith cuts in:  “Governor, you know, you know that that phrase you just used is is one that’s seen by many as, as derogatory, right? I, I just wonder why it is that you use that phrase when there’s a certain segment of the population that believes it’s a real dig on ’em.”

Why does Fox News continue to follow the GOP machine's constant bending over to the far left's political correctness game?   It's this PC that had lost the last two prez elections; had triggered the nation to literally kill each other; that our economy is at the verge of collapse; and the total destruction of our Constitution...our very individual Liberty...is at hand.
We're not simply "losing" America.  We're giving it away!

 Resurrecting nObamaCare's 'Public Option' 
XBXu6iDzRuIF-bG2UzhjySCC_vEIHVg_iBUM46bSOulq7Fl6bOv8YKrAsUBIs-4pWBS-VYIwB7AcmkgXZMNYPck_8PJVVkvwMWQVjTV-rVKGxK722TNzoVfBWDr2Gw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Allyne Caan: Remember the early days of the nObamaCare debate, when many of us warned the Democrats' health care overhaul was the first step toward a single-payer system? Just as we predicted, leftists, including presumptive Democrat presidential nominee liar-Hillary Clinton, once again have taken up the banner of the so-called "public option," which is little more than a Trojan horse for single-payer health care. As predictable as each sunrise, Democrats always aim to expand government.
          The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) recently published an article bylined Barack nObama, in which he revives the call for a public option: "[B]ased on experience with the ACA, I think Congress should revisit a public plan to compete alongside private insurers in areas of the country where competition is limited. Adding a public plan in such areas would strengthen the Marketplace approach, giving consumers more affordable options while also creating savings for the federal government."
          Clearly, JAMA's peer-review standards have plummeted, as this statement was obviously written by either a professional prevaricator or a stand-up comedian.
          For starters, nObama all but admits his signature health care law is a flop, as "based on experience" he now claims we need a public option. As Reason's Peter Suderman notes, "[T]he article ... serves as a tacit admission that the law is not working as intended. ... Naturally, it proposes further government intervention in the health care sector."
          Point taken, though we'd argue the law is working exactly as intended. Democrats just lied about their intentions.
          Another howler is nObama's punchline about how the public option would "compete alongside" private insurance, as if the government is just another capitalist enterprise in a free market. "Consumers do better when there is choice and competition," nObama sagaciously explained. "That's how the market works." As if he's the greatest free-market economist since Milton Freidman.
          One of nObamaCare's many lies was that it would improve competition in the individual insurance market. To sell this point, nObama pointed to the 34 states in which "75% of the insurance market is controlled by five or fewer companies."
          Insurance exchanges were supposed to be the grand savior of competition. They proved quite the opposite, as insurers have continued to pull out of exchanges. Suderman explains, "What this means is that in many rural areas, nObamacare's exchanges will be served by one and only one insurer." Wasn't this one of the problems nObama promised to solve?
          But never fear, statists have a plan to fix their failed government program. Another government program! If only we had a public option, nObama opines, it could "compete alongside private insurers" in places where competition is limited.
          Of course, the government already tried a quasi-public option that, predictably, flopped. When the full-scale public option was rejected during the original nObamaCare debates, lawmakers set up pilot-program public options, or "co-ops." These co-ops received billions of federal tax dollars and were supposed to operate just like regular insurance companies, compete alongside private insurers, and become self-sufficient. Yet of the 23 co-ops created, 16 have closed. As Americans for Tax Reform explains, "Co-ops across the country have struggled to operate in nObamacare exchanges, losing millions despite receiving enormous government subsidies."
          This makes even more ludicrous nObama's claim that a public option would "create savings for the federal government." Again, as Suderman notes, given the co-ops failures, "[t]here is little reason to believe that a full-fledged public option, entirely run by the government, would fare any better." Instead, he correctly argues, it would be "much harder to shut down, and much more likely to be propped up by additional federal funding if it failed to completely cover its expenses on its own."
          And as for competition, even pretending that's a goal is absurd. As The Wall Street Journal observes, "Mr. nObama is re-endorsing what he had hoped in 2010 would be a way station for government-run single payer that would gradually wipe out anything resembling private insurance. Insurers can't outbid a 'free' program that is open to all or most and has the unlimited access to the Treasury that Medicare enjoys. A market exodus would be inevitable."
          A single-payer system was the goal all along. nObamaCare was never about health care; it was always about control. And nObama's obsession with fundamentally transforming America won't be satisfied as long as any semblance of Liberty or constitutionally limited government remains.  -The Patriot Post

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Victor Davis Hanson: "As in the case of Islamic terrorism, America seems to have no answers to racial tensions. Half the country believes African-Americans are inordinately targeted by police and that inner-city violence can be attributed to a long history of racism, national neglect and economic stagnation. The other half blame disastrous social-welfare and big-government policies for creating dangerous dependencies and a dearth of jobs in America's inner cities, as well as a popular culture that glorifies rather than discourages the excesses of many young black males. One America believes that the nObama administration genuinely tried, but so far has failed, to resolve the tensions. between inner-city residents and police. The other America thinks nObama sought to leverage those tensions for political reasons. Either way, most of America privately thinks that Islamic terrorist acts and racial tensions are going to get far worse — a perception that is probably shared overseas as well. ... To be blunt, America's vulnerable postwar global order may already seem to those abroad to be bloated carrion ready to be picked apart by opportunistic vultures."  -The Patriot Post

The GAO concluded in a new oversight report on the Nuclear Regulatory Committee, or NRC, that it had improved security measures, but still has “not taken some measures to better control some dangerous quantities of radioactive material.” As part of a covert GAO test, the accountability agency established several dummy corporations and attempted to procure licenses needed to purchase dangerous radioactive materials, including those needed to build a crude nuclear explosive device...

Turkey's last hope dies
by Ralph Peters    
.
{foxnews.com} ~ Friday night’s failed coup was Turkey’s last hope to stop the Islamization of its government and the degradation of its society...  Reflexively, Western leaders rushed to condemn a coup attempt they refused to understand. Their reward will be a toxic Islamist regime at the gates of Europe. Our leaders no longer do their basic homework. The media relies on experts-by-Wikipedia. Except for PC platitudes, our schools ignore the world beyond our shores. Deluged with unreliable information, citizens succumb to the new superstitions of the digital age. So a great country is destroyed by Islamist hardliners before our eyes—and our president praises its “democracy.”...

This sickening new report confirms that not only has liar-Clinton repeatedly lied to the American public and Congress on the matter, but she willfully left the four American citizens for dead when U.S. Military forces were prepared to respond to the developing threat in Libya.

{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ We know that Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter, was employed by G4S Plc, a British security firm whose clients in more than 100 countries include the U.S. government (e.g. DHS)... It is also known that his firm was part of a larger organization that participated in the catch and release of OTM’s (other than Mexicans) at the southern border. The OTM’s consisted of people from other Central American countries as well as Muslims from the Middle East. Once these OTM’s were caught, they were released into the deep interior of the country without being screened and without supervision. Mateen’s firm is technically operating under the direction of DHS on this matter. The catch and release of Muslims at the southern border violates our nation’s immigration laws. However, as we witnessed last week with the FBI giving liar-Clinton a get out of jail card for self-admitted criminal activity, our federal government is playing by its own rules that they are making up as they go along. The catch and release of these Muslims technically falls under the auspices of the United Nations. Before I get into my personal revelation on this matter which gravely threatens national security, let’s review what is happening to the United States at the behest of the United Nations...

{city-journal.org} ~ No more flags of foreign countries posted on Facebook in a spirit of solidarity. No more empathic Twitter hashtags. No more empty statements by heads of government declaring that “the terrorists have failed in their effort to turn us against one another.” No more equally empty statements by other heads of government expressing their own country’s support for “our ally in its time of grief.” No more calls for love in the face of hate, or candlelight processions as a response to murder. No more clicking of tongues and shaking of heads over the horrible loss of life—as if people had died in a one-off natural disaster, a hurricane or tornado or tsunami—followed, after a few days, by a return to normal. Until the next time, of course.

No more attempts to psychologically analyze every new jihadist—to probe his troubled family or professional life in an attempt to figure out what “turned him to violence and extremism.” No more reflexive reassurances that “this has nothing to do with Islam,” that a handful of bad guys have “hijacked” a “peaceful” faith, and that “the great majority of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims are, of course, peace-loving people who utterly reject this kind of action.” No more slick pivoting to the subject of gun control, or American homophobia, or whatever other diversion seems useful under the specific circumstances. No more blaming of Europeans’ supposed failure to accept or embrace or integrate or employ Muslims, or of Muslims’ alleged poverty or hopelessness or frustration or alienation.

No more hand-wringing by journalists, as they stand mere yards from the bodies of the dead, about the possible “backlash” against Muslims which never really materializes. No more declarations by U.S. officials that the mere mention of Islam in connection with Islamic terrorism is “dangerous” and “counterproductive” because it “alienates” the Muslim allies and Muslim communities whose help we need in fighting this problem that we dare not properly name. No more respectful TV interviews with representatives of “Muslim civil-rights organizations” that have been proven over and over again to be fronts for terrorism.

No more outrageous lies by government and media that, almost fifteen years after 9/11, keep so many Americans so outrageously in the dark about the world in which we live now. No more of the despicable day-to-day efforts by the same actors to keep those Americans who do get it in line, to instill in them an unholy fear that, if they dare to address the problem honestly, they’ll be thrust forever out into the dark—beyond the realm of decent society, unacceptable, unemployable, unfriendable. No more societal tyranny by those who because they’re cowardly, or feel powerless, or have no sense of responsibility to preserve the precious gift of freedom that their own forebears fought and died for and have bequeathed them, or are, inconceivably, unconcerned about the world their own children and grandchildren will inhabit treat as enemies not those who seek to destroy them but those who dare to speak the truth about it.

No more ignorance. A couple of weeks ago, Adam Carolla recorded his podcast—one of the most popular on the Internet—before an Amsterdam audience. Carolla, an Angeleno, asked locals about life in the Netherlands. They painted a thoroughly rosy picture. He asked about religion. They depicted a near-utopian secular country free of reactionary faith. Poof! Down the memory hole went Pim Fortuyn, Theo Van Gogh, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders. And Carolla didn’t challenge any of it. Then, just the other day, in an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast which is even bigger than Carolla’s, gay conservative Milo Yiannopoulos served up some basic facts that everybody in the U.S. would know by now if the mainstream media were doing its job—facts about the levels of Muslim rape in Sweden, about the scale of antigay animus in Muslim communities, and about the systematic efforts by European governments to obscure these and other ticklish matters. Rogan, who is no fool, and who has interviewed hundreds of people in an effort to educate himself about the world, was shocked by all of it. (“Wow! Wow! Wow!”)

In the years after 9/11, major acts of Islamic terrorism in the West seemed to come along every year or so, leaving plenty of time in between to go back to pretending that everything was fine and to resume mouthing benign platitudes. Now they’re happening so often, one right on top of the other, that we can hardly keep track of them. The only upside is that it’s getting harder and harder to maintain that pretense.

The time for shock is over. The time for heaping up flowers and candles and stuffed animals at the sites of atrocities is over. The lies and ignorance and cravenness must end, and the simple facts must be faced. The free, civilized West has, for years now, been the target of a war of conquest—a war waged in many forms of which terrorism is only one by Islamist adherents preaching submission, intolerance, and brutality, and our leaders and media, with few exceptions, continue to play a game whose fatuity, fecklessness, and pusillanimity have become increasingly clear. After Nice, no more.

Ted Cruz I am Dissapointed in you.

Posted by Scott Rickert on July 18, 2016 at 4:18pm
I have been a big supporter and believer in Ted Cruz, but his behavior against Trump is unacceptable. He an Trump both signed a loyalty agreement to the Republican party. He lost and is still attempting to derail Trump. This is a direct violation of the agreement. I have never been so disappointed in a person that I'd had so much respect for. I was first disappointed in how he sabotaged Mr. Carson's campaign, but actually believed it was a mistake. Now I see that it wasn't and that is just how Ted Cruz is. What a shame, because if he had played fair he could have very possibly been Trumps VP and practically been handed the Presidency after Trump was done with the almost impossible task of rebuilding our great nation. Trump is only running because he knows, that he is the only person with a chance to beat Crooked Hillary Clinton and her socialist chronies. He is gaining nothing but grief by running for president, not to mention putting his very life in jeopardy. Mr. Trump is a true Patriot for selflessly giving up so much in order to try to save America and the Constitution on which it is founded from the devistation caused by the current tyrannical socialist regime. I have nothing but respect for Mr. Trump now and have lost almost all respect for Ted Cruz for being a sore loser and not honoring his loyalty agreement to the Republican party. Ted Cruz is causing a divide in the party that we cannot afford at this crucial time. Mr. Cruz you should be ashamed of yourself of your actions because all you're doing is hurting yourself and this party with your inappropriate attitude toward our legally chosen candidate. I never understood before why so many Republican Congressmen didn't like you, but now it's clear to me. If you don't get your way you throw a tantrum and that is NOT what we need or want in our President. Mr.Trump may not have the political experience you think he needs, but he has surrounded himself with an All Star administration to aide him in any areas he lacks experience. He has laid out a great plan complete with the best people to the job that is required of him. He knows exactly what is needed to salvage our economy and bring jobs back to America. I ask that Ted Cruz please do what's right for America. Tomorrow during your address at the RNC, support the people's chosen candidate, Mr. Trump our next President of the United States.

Baton Rouge Latest Battle in Obama's War on Cops

By Daniel John Sobieski

 

Before someone says President Obama did no such thing and that Baton Rouge, like Dallas, cannot be laid at his doorstep, let us consider his own statement that “words have consequences”. From Ferguson to Baltimore and beyond President Obama’s words have been the equivalent of yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre. He has encouraged a false narrative of racist cops and racist police departments whose officers are guilty until proven innocent, or buried, whichever comes first.

If there is a Pearl Harbor in this war on cops, it was Ferguson, Missouri, where President Obama’s Justice Department sent 40 FBI agents to prove Officer Darren Wilson was a racist murderer of an innocent black teen. He has made the race-baiting Al Sharpton, who helped create the myth of “hands up, don’t shoot”, a key adviser on race matters and Ferguson.....

Gingrich is right: Sharia is incompatible with US values

By Daniel John Sobieski

 

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a political bull often on the lookout for a politically correct china shop, has rattled the orthodoxy of political correctness once again, saying that those who follow Sharia law can’t also be loyal to the U.S., Constitution and the Western values it represents and either shouldn’t be allowed to enter the U.S. or should be deported from it. This didn’t sit well with President Barack Hussein Obama. As the Daily Caller reports:

On Friday, Barack Obama called Newt Gingrich’s plan to deport sharia-adhering Muslims in America “repugnant and an affront to everything that we stand for as Americans.”

In the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Nice, France, Gingrich said, “We should, frankly, test every person here who is of a Muslim background, and if they believe in Sharia, they should be deported. Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization.”....

 Vindictive liar-Hillary Warns of Presidential Abuse

liar-Hillary Clinton has a serious warning about Donald Trump: "Imagine if he had not just Twitter and cable news to go after his critics and opponents, but also the IRS, or for that matter our entire military. Given what we have seen and heard, do any of us think he'd be restrained?
          Funny she should mention those things. What, indeed, would it be like to have a president who used the vast might of Washington against private citizens? Why, it might look like the last eight years.
          Barack nObama used the IRS to target Tea Party conservatives for years leading up to the 2012 election, and it may never be known how much that boosted his re-election effort. Of course, he won't ever be implicated, having skillfully covered his tracks so the only people ever to be blamed were obscure bureaucrats. This targeting also wasn't known until May 2013, after nObama was safely ensconced in the Oval Office for his second term. And it was only last month that the total enemies list was revealed. The Leftmedia, of course, has been largely mum about the scandal, leaving liar-Hillary free to issue such warnings about Trump with little challenge or comparison beyond media outlets like ours.
          Or take the military. While once again nObama's fingerprints would never be found, the U.S. Army once prepped for Tea Party "terrorists" — a scandal we broke. Or there was the DHS effort to train for and combat right-wing extremists, as if American Patriots and not the radical Islamic terrorists nObama refuses to name are the real threat. Did we mention liar-Hillary Clinton keeps an actual enemies list?
          So yes, Americans should fear a power-hungry and vindictive president. But that's not some theoretical warning for liar-Clinton to bandy about — it's the outrageous reality of the man she seeks to succeed and emulate.  -The Patriot Post

 The Toll of Transgendered Suicide 
AQUWOi68iAHp1zWK_nc74-aUYXcHXqm96Io-BY5yvwD--725VbQRChUFcdBRjUNJFgHlqLObQzLAOmoz3o__jjDIPNvFWL2TQiKD83y1kZf-wAk_W09PLjJ-ixVmfg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Just last week, we noted the unfortunate number of veterans who take their own lives. But veterans aren't the only people disproportionately represented in this terrible statistic. Transgendered people are far more likely to commit (or at least attempt) suicide than any other demographic. A recent example: Bradley Manning, the transgendered soldier who now calls himself "Chelsea" after winning a lawsuit against the Army last year to beginning hormone therapy on the taxpayers' dime, attempted suicide in his Fort Leavenworth prison cell, where he is serving a 35-year sentence for, er, mishandling classified information. Manning made the attempt just days after Barack nObama lifted the ban on transgendered service members.
          Using feminine pronouns to describe him, Anne Hendershott, director of the Veritas Center for Ethics in Public Life at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, writes, "In her suicide attempt, Manning joins the more than 41 percent of those identifying as 'transgender' or gender nonconforming who have attempted suicide, compared with 4.6 percent of the overall U.S. population who report a lifetime suicide attempt. It is also higher than the 10-20 percent of lesbian, gay and bisexual adults who report ever attempting suicide."
          The reason is simple, profound and anathema to the Left's agenda: People were created in God's image, male and female. Gender-disorientation pathology is one manifestation of the fact we're all marred and broken by sin. People suffering from gender dysphoria have deep issues that are difficult to sort out, but we live in a post-sexual revolution culture that tells them they ought to celebrate and flaunt what's actually very wrong. Thus, many are left seeing no way out. They need help, not a month-long "pride" fest.  -The Patriot Post

{redstate.com} ~ With photos going around the Internet of tanks moving in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, it's easy to imagine a coup is in progress to oust the ruling Justice and Development party, and its President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Modern Turkey, founded in the ashes of the Ottoman Empire by Kemal Ataturk, has been designed from the ground up to be a western, democratic state. In fact his name had been Mustafa Kemal, but he was named father of the Turks, much in the way we call George Washington the father of our country. Kemalism, the set of reforms he promoted, included secularism. He was a revolutionary and sought to break the ties with the old order. He did not want Turkey to be bound up in Islamism or anything that would hold the country back from modern progress, going so far as to ban the wearing of a Fez... http://www.redstate.com/neil_stevens/2016/07/15/theres-coup-going-turkey-heres-why./?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

The case is over the aggressive actions by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, which has published guidelines for handling transgender issues in church gatherings that are “open to the public.” The lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Fort Des Moines Church of Christ aims “to stop the commissioners and the executive director of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, the Iowa attorney general, and the city of Des Moines from compelling an Iowa church to communicate government messages to which it objects and from forcing the church to use its building in violation of its religious beliefs.”...  http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/state-doubles-down-wants-to-define-whats-religious/#!

Several times arrested, they have been let loose on America

{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ On Thursday, July 14, 2016, Steve Quayle sent me an article, published by the Associated Press which detailed how the United Nations would be used to enforce martial law inside of the United States... Steve asked me to look into this further. I was in the process of returning from vacation when I received Steve’s message. However, I did reach out to several sources while on the road and what I learned was similar to what I learned from an active DEA agent and two Border Patrol personnel in July of 2014. I was not able to reach the DEA agent, however, I did speak to two Border Patrol agents who were eager to share updated information. In July of 2014, I wrote the following account, provided from two Border Patrol personnel regarding who is in charge of running the American/Mexico border: “Last night, this same Border Patrol Agent called me at the number on my business card. He stated that he had been reading my articles and that he felt that I was expressing a deep understating the problem. However, he unequivocally stated my knowledge of UN involvement on the border was significantly outdated and understated.  He stated “the UN is already here and he has seen clear evidence that they are calling the shots on the border”...  http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2016/07/15/un-backed-ms-13-carry-assassinations-american-police-officers/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=un-backed-ms-13-carry-assassinations-american-police-officers

{aei.org} ~ We all say we’re shocked when terrorists spill the blood of men, women and children. And so the ink after Nice will flow generously across the front pages of the world, as it did after Orlando, Brussels, Paris, Dhaka, Istanbul, San Bernardino and on and on and on... But we’re not shocked, really. Rather, these attacks have become an almost rote exercise in identity and issue politics. Twitterati will embrace a trite hashtag and feel warm compassion; political candidates will blame Muslims or guns or nObama or Trump. There will be more stern calls to honestly label the terrorism “Islamic”, as if there is some doubt, and more sanctimonious screeds about loving our Muslim brothers. It’s not that these reactions are wrong — at least not all of them; it’s that as terrorism becomes a regular feature of our lives, we’ve become inured to the horror and indifferent about the solution. Terrorism has become just another reason to reach for whatever particular button leaders would have reached for on that day, whether an attack had happened or not. The truth is that Middle East rooted terrorism has been a growing scourge for decades. Hamas, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, ISIS and the many other variants of these Islamist extremists have been killing Americans, Europeans, and thousands and thousands of Muslims for too long. It’s not just Syria that is a hotbed that has catapulted the likes of ISIS to the fore; the Islamic Republic of Iran employs terrorism every day as a regular tool of its foreign policy...  http://www.aei.org/publication/on-the-nice-attacks-and-terrorism/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITHISWEEK&utm_campaign=Weekly071616

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, vowed to make such a referral to the FBI Thursday after its director, James Comey, said liar-Clinton's sworn testimony last year before the House Select Committee on Benghazi was not considered as evidence by investigators because his agency did not receive a referral. Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the Benghazi committee, and Rep.

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ "We are on the verge of a civil war." That quote did not come from a fanatic or a lunatic. No, it came from head of France's homeland security, the DGSI (Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure), Patrick Calvar... He has, in fact, spoken of the risk of a civil war many times. On July 12th, he warned a commission of members of parliament, in charge of a survey about the terrorist attacks of 2015, about it. In May 2016, he delivered almost the same message to another commission of members of parliament, this tme in charge of national defense. "Europe," he said, "is in danger. Extremism is on the rise everywhere, and we are now turning our attention to some far-right movements who are preparing a confrontation". What kind of confrontation? "Intercommunity confrontations," he said -- polite for "a war against Muslims." "One or two more terrorist attacks," he added, "and we may well see a civil war."...  http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8489/france-the-coming-civil-war

Ted Cruz (R-Texas), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) today introduced the Back the Blue Act, a bill that would increase penalties against violent criminals who intentionally target law enforcement officers... provide new tools to help law enforcement protect themselves, and open up grant funding to strengthen relationships between law enforcement and their communities. “The sacrifice and bravery of law enforcement officers in the face of danger are part of the basic fabric that keeps our society together,” Sen. Cruz said. “This bill better protects our nation’s finest by providing stronger tools for the prosecution of those who would harm law enforcement. We must stand in solidarity with our police officers, firefighters, first responders, and federal officers who selflessly run into harm’s way to protect our families and our communities. This should not be a partisan issue. This should be an issue that brings us together, united as Americans. I’m proud to stand with the men and women of American law enforcement and urge all of my Senate colleagues to do the same.”...  https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=2736

She describes herself as an amateur, but still she was able to recognize what needed to be done... If nObama had taken her advice then, while they were still the JV team, this problem wouldn’t exist today. Frustrated, Judge Jeanine says, “If this ‘president’ would stop apologizing for what we do, what we are, and stop saying, ‘you Christians, it’s your turn,’ as he did at a prayer breakfast, then maybe America would be united in a way where we understand that they’re coming, they’re here, we’re next.” Judge Pirro insists on viewing nObama from the American perspective, which is a mistake. nObama doesn’t want us to understand what he’s doing or to be united. He’s worked hard to divide us. If the American people knew what he was up to, he’d be in prison. Judge Jeanine expresses her anger, saying, “If we’ve got people standing in the blood of innocent victims when they go for an innocent celebration, then we’ve got to recognize that we’ve got a problem at the top in this country...  http://rickwells.us/jeanine-terror-attacks-obamas-legacy/

liar-Hillary: Guilty as Not Charged

{townhall.com} ~ It's no mere academic question: Do we believe in the rule of law anymore? Are we a nation of laws or of men?

The cherished idea of the rule of law in our system is about everyone's being subject to the law in equal measure. The law, including criminal law, applies even to our political leaders.

Both members of the American power couple known as the liar-Clintons have escaped accountability all of their adult lives, so it comes as no shock that liar-Hillary Clinton is once again being allowed to skate, even though the head of the very body tasked with investigating her -- the FBI -- has detailed precisely how liar-Clinton did in fact break the law.

FBI Director James Comey laid out, with specificity, how liar-Clinton violated our national security laws, but then he proceeded to explain that he was nevertheless declining to refer liar-Clinton for federal prosecution.

Comey acknowledged that the federal criminal statute in question, by its terms, requires "gross negligence" -- and not specific intent -- and that liar-Clinton's behavior was "extremely careless." We can split hairs all we want, but there is little, if any, difference, factually or legally, between gross negligence and extreme carelessness. Comey, despite his refusal to equate the two, is essentially saying it's a moot point because he finds no precedent for anyone's ever having been prosecuted under the statute in question (Title 18, Section 793(f) of U.S. Code) for gross negligence. It would be "unfair," he says, to make this a case of first impression.

So are we to conclude that statutory language of Congress has a "sell by" date? That if no one is prosecuted under the clear words of a statute, the meaning of those words changes over time? Or does it change only if the acts of a special public official are involved?

Ask yourself: Would law enforcement officials conferring about whether to bring charges against a nonpublic figure or nonpublic official tie themselves in pretzels to avoid bringing criminal charges? That has not been my experience as an attorney.

Should the overriding concern here be fairness to liar-Clinton or respect for our national security secrets? Surely, in a matter of such grave magnitude, it would be fair to hold liar-Clinton accountable for knowingly commingling private and public and classified emails. Other subparagraphs of this very statute, e.g., Section 793(a), require specific intent for criminal liability, which means that Congress had to have deliberately set the standard lower in 793(f) -- the section that applies to liar-Clinton here. Why would Congress do that? Well, because the stakes are so high in these situations. Our national security is so important that a person entrusted with secret or classified information should know, whether she does in fact know, how dangerous it is to engage in the grossly reckless conduct liar-Clinton engaged in.

Moreover, having consciously declined to follow the clear language of the statute, Comey also decided that liar-Clinton did not have specific intent, because that standard, in his view, requires that a person knowingly broke the law. When I studied criminal law, specific intent didn't usually require proof that a person knew her acts violated the law, only that she specifically intended to commit the acts that were unlawful.

When a prosecutor brings a criminal case against a defendant, say, for bank robbery, does any reasonable person believe that the prosecutor has the burden of proving the defendant was conversant with the statute forbidding bank robbery? No, he just must prove the person intended to rob the bank -- an act forbidden by the law.

But even if we accept Comey's bizarre redefinition of specific intent, is it conceivable that liar-Clinton, with all her vast experience with classified material, was unaware that what she was doing was criminally wrong? No, liar-Clinton specifically intended to commingle her emails -- personal, private, public, classified -- knowing it would put national security at grave risk.

In addition, reportedly, liar-Clinton's lawyers permanently deleted 30,000 emails. Would any reasonable person believe that liar-Clinton was unaware they were going to do this? Would they have had any reason to allegedly obstruct justice in this way if these emails hadn't been damning for liar-Clinton? Would law enforcement give any other person the benefit of the doubt in this situation?

Regardless of what you assume about Comey's integrity or whether you agree with his decision not to refer any charges for prosecution, how could he possibly say, with a straight face, that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute on the facts of this case -- facts that demonstrate liar-Clinton violated the plain language of the statute?

Democrats keep saying Republicans are engaging in a partisan witch hunt -- as if Republicans aren't rightly outraged that Comey virtually admitted liar-Clinton violated the clear language of the statute yet decided not to prosecute.

liar-Clinton put our national security at risk. She put us all at risk while entrusted with the high and solemn duty of safeguarding our national security, and she is closer to being rewarded for it than she is to being punished. Is it any wonder that people have wholly given up on the system?

Given his record and his reputation for integrity, I will not jump to the conclusion that Comey is intentionally playing politics here, but I do believe it is plausible that he and his team are succumbing to a strong desire not to be accused of partisanship and therefore bent over backward to avoid prosecuting her. Call it the Justice Roberts effect.

It is a sad day for the rule of law and for the state of our national security because Comey's decision takes the teeth out of the law and strongly weakens any deterrent force of the statute.

Comey may have succeeded in convincing himself that he is ensuring that liar-Hillary Clinton is not subject to a different standard than the ordinary citizen, but through his explanations alone, he has convinced us of the exact opposite.

Open letter to all Christians

Posted by Juan Reynoso on July 17, 2016 at 7:24am

By Juan Reynoso –texusa2016@gmail.com

Open letter to all Christians.

https://www.freetranslation.com/en/translate-english-spanish

The purpose of this letter it’s not to criticize, judge or expose any one, but to think and to reflect  about our own stand on this issue of being a true Christian or just a religious person.

Today in our country there are many organizations that call themselves “Christians”: we have Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Mormon, and Independent. There are Churches of Christ, Churches of God, Episcopalians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Unitarians. There are Amish, Mennonites, and Quakers. There are Pentecostals, Presbyterians, and Spiritualists; that all claiming to be “Christian. Many people think that if we are religious, then we must be a “real Christian.” At the same time many feel a deep pain inside, a hollow, empty, unsatisfied craving for love. Many sense something is miss­ing, because they are seeing hypocrisy in the churches and the confusion of contradictory doctrinal teaching, the Prosperity theology and the secular expression of Christianity.  Today in America many Christians are confuse and throw their hands up in despair; they recognize there is a fundamental difference between just “being religious” and being a “real Christian”

I believe that God has placed in our hands a very precious gift, the gift of self-love.  To love ourselves is not just a self-esteem boosting piece of advice.  It is the prerequisite to truly loving others. The Golden Rule tells us to "love your neighbor as you love yourself", because we can only give that which we have; this is obvious because we cannot give something that we do not possess.  To give love, you must first have love. To have love, love yourself. Only then will you be able to truly love others for the pure joy of loving them. Give the love you wish to experience to yourself and you will find all your relationships transforming in miraculous ways.   Most of us spend our lives looking for love, peace and joy only to realize that, we have this treasure,  this gift from God to show humanity that all this surpassing power is from God and not from us.

Loving Yourself.

Impeach Obama Now

Posted by Scott Rickert on July 16, 2016 at 5:16pm
Obama has broken his oath of office, defiled our Constitution, committed treason and the list goes on and no action has been taken. The closer he gets to losing his power the more dangerous he will become. I'm truly afraid of what he is going to do especially after his executive order he released 3-July-2016 hoping no one would pay attention. This gave him power far beyond that of any other President. He could declare Marshall Law to avoid the term limits. He is purposely causing a division of race and inciting violence. He refuses to call a terrorist a terrorist by refusing to acknowledge that ISIS and Radical Islam are true terrorists. Something has to be done before he can destroy what's left of the Great Nation we so love. Besides all that he shouldn't get to keep taking tax payer money in the form of a pension and secret service protection for the rest of his life. He should be charged with his crimes, but if that can't happen for some unimaginable reason then the least we can do is make sure he has no more access to our government and it's secrets, and does not get the honor of remaining a former President of this great nation. The fact that he broke his sacred Oath of Office too many times to count is enough for impeachment by itself and that is just one of hundreds maybe thousands of other impeachable offenses and crimes. The fact he purchased a house close to the White House says he's not going anywhere and with all the testimony of ex-secret service agents I have no idea how he is still in office and not prison. Please lets act and make sure he doesn't get to continue leaching of tax payer money for the rest of his life. I know one thing for sure, we true Americans love our Constitution and the United States of America and as Mr. Obama said himself on an open microphone he thinks Americans are stupid and should just obey him. That is not someone worthy of being a former President of our great free nation under God. Please join me in one last push to try to remove him from office if not before the election then at least after it. He can still be imprached after his presidency is over, but I sincerely pray that it can be done before. He can not be allowed to Pardon all the people we know he's going to and do all the damage he can before leaving the office. Mr. Obama has lied, betrayed and stole from America and it's great people far to long! Now it's America's time to show Mr. Obama and his chronies that nobody is above the law! That his tyrannical reign has failed and is over! That America will no longer be subjected to his illegal unconstitutional ways, his disrespectful hate mongering, his false rhetoric and above all his complete blatant disregard for our Constitution that has made, and will continue to make our America the Greatest nation in the world! God Bless the United States of America and all its American citizens and legal Immigrants. Together we can impeach and remove Mr. Obama from our White House and God willing put him in the "Big House" where he belongs!
