What's Up With Mike Pence?

I've been hearing a lot about Mike Pence lately and seemingly out of the blue. So, when I stumbled across this post from The National Interest about Mr. Pence, I was intrigued to learn more.

Link -> http://nationalinterest.org/feature/can-man-win-movement-conservatives-trump-17002

Even after reading this article, I'm still not sure what I think about Mike Pence. I won't judge before I know, so now it's just a matter of waiting to see what this, Mike Pence, fellow actually DOES for We The People.

Black Pride

Pride in accomplishments and family is one thing.   There is no pride in receiving hand-outs from the government.

Politicians found out a long time ago that by giving hand-outs to Blacks they could actually control their actions...at the voting booth, without changing the social order.  The Democrats could have their cake and eat it too.  And ever so more today with Latinos added to the basket.   It  has all been done for the sake of building a vote-gathering political party.  Get enough of these voters and you cannot loose an election.  It is called Socialism.

Wars Against Constitutions

Wars Against Constitutions

On November 29, 2009, then Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, was voted OUT of office. Losing to the conservative leaning Porfirio Lobos by a 17% landslide victory.  

Zelaya, who represented the nation's Liberal Party, which is associated w/ the far leftist Liberal IInternational [1], initially refused leave office. Backed by their Constitution, and the,nation's Supreme Court, the Honduran military had formed a coup. Successfully removing Manuel Zelaya who lives in exile today. .  

"In a separate cable from May 2008 released on the WikiLeaks website, a U.S. official said Chavez ally and then-President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, had links to organized crime. Zelaya was ousted in a military-backed coup in 2009.

"There ... exists a sinister Zelaya, surrounded by a few close advisors with ties to both Venezuela and Cuba and organized crime," the outgoing U.S. ambassador said in a cable to his successor before Zelaya was pushed out of office.

The cable also described the Central American leader as a "rebellious teenager" who never graduated from high school." [2]

WHAT WAS THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE

"An agreement signed in Colombia this week allowing the ousted former Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, to return home and resume political activity without fear of prosecution marks “a great day” for the Honduran people, according to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“Hugo Chavez’s handprints are all over this deal,” Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement. “He can’t wait to have Zelaya back in Honduras so he can begin pulling the strings again and undermine that nation’s democracy.

Clinton, by contrast, said on Monday that the U.S. “commends” the Chavez regime for its role in securing the agreement." [3]

President Obama had called the coup that ousted Manuel Zelaya as president of Honduras “not legal” and joined with the voices of leaders across the Americas in demanding that democracy be respected. “It would be a terrible precedent if we start moving backwards into the era in which we are seeing military coups as a means of political transition, rather than democratic elections,” Mr. Obama said...  [4]

???!!!

Wait a sec!  The Honduran people had their LEGAL election; where they elected Lobos in a 17% landslide, remember?

NOW the Obama admn is siding w/ the Turkish President Erdoğan - whp has been slowly but steadily moving Turkey away from its secular Constitution and towards a Shariah Islamic theocracy.  Can you SEE the pattern of behavior going on here?  If you don't, you're either on board; or your simply a MORON!

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Star Parker: "Capriciously applied law has always been a disturbance for blacks. The civil rights movement was supposed to be about the country recognizing and remedying that, in a nation under God, there were citizens not receiving equal treatment under the law. Unfortunately, the civil rights movement came in the midst of the liberal wave of the 1960s. So instead of focusing on equal application of existing laws of tradition, we turned law over to men to make up new rules that were supposedly going to fix everything. But man-made law produces what we have just seen in a politically motivated FBI director rationalizing that a secretary of state ... somehow couldn't figure out that she was breaking the law and compromising our national security. When we don't take law seriously at the highest levels of power in the nation, the message reverberates throughout the land."  -The Patriot Post

 Just How 'Far Right' Is the GOP Platform? 
kUlDP_qpCQG6eIp9S2eYI52IyGh62slulC2hm9rACB4oCUJu8PsM7er-C0sUu32v6AL-TpiPN-if6rg2Bcjp7W3WcnmOOWGV2Lu33BU8X_oJATdDLo5JRgWG5msvxA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Both The New York Times and NBC News have recently run stories on the GOP's preparation for its upcoming national convention in Cleveland next week. In their "reporting" on the Republican platform and its field of speakers, two telling words were invoked — "far" and "extreme" — buzz words that the Left often uses in seeking to dissuade anyone from taking conservative ideas seriously.
          "Rudy Giuliani ... the far-right former mayor of New York City will also speak [at the GOP national convention]," reported NBC News. That was later redacted and replaced with the description that Giuliani is "extremely conservative on national security issues." Giuliani is strong on national defense, but he's also pro-gun control and pro-abortion. Hardly "far right."
          Meanwhile, The New York Times headlined, "Emerging Republican Platform Goes Far to the Right." What are these "far" right and "extreme" conservative issues that make up the Republican Party platform? Four of the major planks of the party's platform to be highlighted at the convention are: 1. a strong immigration policy, 2. support for traditional marriage and opposition to forced assimilation into the Barack nObama's transgender bathroom directive, 3. support for a strong national defense, and 4. an "America First" policy when it comes to international trade agreements.
          There is nothing novel about these Republican ideals — and most certainly no movement to the "far right." In fact, was it not nObama who stated in October 2010, "I have been to this point unwilling to sign on to same-sex marriage primarily because of my understanding of the traditional definitions of marriage"? In other words, until just a few years ago, the Republican platform was what nearly all Americans believed. So exactly which party should more accurately be described as being "far" and "extreme"? Where Leftmedia outlets are concerned, if you're not moving their direction, then you are the "extremist."  -The Patriot Post

US government releases
secret chapter from 9/11 report
.
{foxnews.com} ~ The U.S. government on Friday released a once-classified chapter from a congressional report on the 9/11 attacks that some lawmakers suggested raise questions of Saudi involvement... The documents were posted Friday by the House intelligence committee. Former President George W. Bush originally classified the chapter to protect intelligence sources and methods and perhaps to avoid upsetting Saudi Arabia, a close U.S. ally. President nObama later ordered a declassification review of the chapter, which Congress released on Friday...http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/07/15/us-government-released-secret-chapter-from-911-report.htmlclassification

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Last night, at least 84 people were murdered in the French city of Nice by a Tunisian-born Islamist terrorist, with dozens more victims wounded... The attacker drove a 19-ton truck into a large crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day, France's national holiday, running down men, women and children over a 2km stretch of road and sidewalk. On July 2, nine Italian citizens were butchered by Islamists in the assault at a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They were tortured and killed with "very sharp blades" wielded by smiling terrorists who spared the life of those who knew the Quran. For almost a year already, poor Bangladeshis have been experiencing similar shocking massacres. But hose victims were not wealthy non-Muslim foreigners -- they were anonymous Muslim bloggers, accused of "blasphemy" and murdered out with "sharp blades" -- five victims in 2015 and a law student in 2016, as well as a Hindu priest hacked to death. The same cycle took place in Syria and Iraq, where the beheaders of the Islamic State first targeted many Western journalists, then expelled and killed Christians in Mosul, and then landed in Paris to exterminate Western civilians... http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8409/jihadi-terrorism

{defenddemocracy.org} ~ As we mark the one-year anniversary of the announcement of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), it is worth recalling why this deal is fatally flawed... The JCPOA provides Iran with a patient pathway to nuclear weapons capability by placing limited, temporary, and reversible constraints on Iran’s nuclear activities. These nuclear “sunset provisions,” which begin to expire in eight years and mostly disappear over a period of ten to fifteen years, leave Iran as a threshold nuclear power with an industrial-size, uranium enrichment and plutonium program; near-zero nuclear breakout capacity; an advanced centrifuge-powered clandestine sneakout capability; advanced ballistic missile and ICBM programs; access to advanced heavy weaponry; greater regional hegemony; and a more powerful economy that could be immune to Western sanctions. Even as Iran temporarily scaled back some of its nuclear activities under the JCPOA, the regime’s illicit effort to obtain proliferation-related technology continues while its other non-nuclear malign activities are expanding...  http://www.defenddemocracy.org/content/uploads/documents/Dubowitz_Fixler_Fatal_Flaws_After_One_Year.pdf

{weeklystandard.com} ~ Al Qaeda operatives based in Iran worked on chemical and biological weapons, according to a letter written to Osama bin Laden that is described in a new book by a top former U.S. intelligence official... The letter was captured by a U.S. military sensitive site exploitation team during the raid on bin Laden's Abbottabad headquarters in May 2011. It is described in Field of Fight, out Tuesday from Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Michael Ledeen of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "One letter to bin Laden reveals that al Qaeda was working on chemical and biological weapons in Iran," Flynn writes. Flynn's claim, if true, significantly advances what we know about al Qaeda's activity in Iran. The book was cleared by the intelligence community's classification review process. And U.S. intelligence sources familiar with the bin Laden documents tell us the disclosure on al Qaeda's WMD work is accurate...  http://www.weeklystandard.com/top-intel-official-al-qaeda-worked-on-wmd-in-iran/article/2003264

Both my film, "Terrorists Among Us: Jihad in America," and CounterJihad's "Killing for a Cause: Sharia Law & Civilizational Jihad" expose the Islamification of the West waged by the Muslim Brotherhood and its front organizations in the U.S. The Brotherhood, born in Egypt in 1928, is the fountainhead of nearly every deadly Islamist organization on the planet today...

{totalconservative.com} ~ Americans, in huge majority numbers, understand that much of Islam is incompatible with our country’s norms and values... We may have varying opinions on just how incompatible, and we may all want American Muslims to enjoy the same religious rights as anyone else, but very few of us want Islam to begin influencing our laws. Sadly, that’s exactly where we’re headed. Organizations like CAIR operate under the pretense of protecting Muslims from unfair persecution. They’ve earned a seat at the table by pretending to be full-throated supporters of the Constitution. They don’t want special rights for Muslims. They just want to represent the voices of the unheard. That’s all. But that’s not all. These organizations can all be traced back to their radical origins. And once you peer behind the curtain, you can see that they have goals that go well beyond discouraging people from using the term “radical Islamic terrorism.” Goals that go well beyond protecting the civil rights of Muslims. They want to change America’s laws, slowly but surely, to make them closer to the Sharia laws that govern Islamic countries like Iran...  http://totalconservative.com/islam-infiltration-illinois-law-spells-trouble/

{city-journal.org} ~ Kevin Lacz was a Mohawked, 19-year-old recreational rugby player with a 0.7 GPA at Virginia’s James Madison University when al-Qaida terrorists attacked the United States on September 11, 2001. Days filled with weightlifting, heavy metal, and beer pong suddenly held no appeal to the Middlefield, Connecticut, native. Stunned by the death of a family friend who worked at the Twin Towers, Lacz did what many young Americans considered doing, but didn’t—he dropped out and joined the Navy SEALs. “I wanted to kill the men who planned the mass murder of nearly three thousand Americans,” Lacz writes in The Last Punisher, his just-published account of the Battle of Ramadi. “It was the first real risk I had taken—the moment I decided to step up and be a man.”

Five years and lots of specialized military training later, Lacz found himself a man transformed. The “unfuckwithable” kid who had quit Little League, Boy Scouts, and the high school golf team was now a BTF—a Big Tough Frogman—on a six-month deployment as a platoon sniper and medic in the white-hot war in Iraq’s Anbar Province. He and his fellow SEAL Team Three BTFs were wisecracking hard-men all. Sporting spotty mustaches and cinematic nicknames like Pepper, Doc, Biff, Spaz, and Biggles, their charge was to rain lethal violence down upon Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s brutal Sunni insurgency. The SEALs of Charlie Platoon wanted nothing more than to take the fight directly to the enemy’s front parlor. Some, including Chris Kyle of American Sniper fame—nicknamed Legend—had been at it for a while. Lacz was dubbed Dauber for his resemblance to the big, blond lug on the 1990s sitcom Coach.  

Two weeks into his deployment, Lacz developed an itchy trigger finger. Eager to meet the enemy, he volunteered to work the stone guard tower at Camp Corregidor, an Army installation on Ramadi’s outskirts. It was, he says with scorn for the politically correct sensitivities of Americans who have never been to war, “a good place to smoke some muj.” Packing a fresh load of ever-present Copenhagen tobacco into his lower lip, Lacz settled in to wait for the muezzin’s amplified voice sounding the call to afternoon Islamic prayer. That would be when the city’s deserted streets and alleyways sprang to life. Among the suddenly numerous women, children, and goatherders, Lacz knew, would be young men looking to ambush American troops with small-arms fire and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). With tobacco spit pooling on the floor between his feet, he kept stock-still, staring down the 20-inch barrel of his MK11 sniper rifle at a man periodically glancing up at the guard tower. His behavior indicated that he was a “muj”—short for mujahedeen—and Lacz had a clear shot, but the American military’s rules of engagement prevented him from firing absent hostile action or hostile intent. “Looking shady wasn’t enough.”

Dressed in the insurgent’s uniform of t-shirt, track pants, and flip-flops, the man scooted across an alleyway and ducked behind a wall. Lacz focused on keeping his breathing steady. The muj reappeared seconds later cradling an AK-47 rifle. His fate was sealed. Lacz calmly put a 7.62 millimeter round through his upper torso. The muj hit the dirt. It was the first of Lacz’s dozens of confirmed kills.

That night, back in his rack, Lacz took inventory of his emotions. He hadn’t minded taking a life, he decided. “If you volunteer yourself to do the business of doing bad things to bad people, you have to be prepared for the eventuality of being required to do it.” During training, Lacz and his fellow SEALs sat for a lecture by retired army lieutenant colonel Dave Grossman, author of On Killing, a study of the psychological effects of combat. Grossman’s theory is that 2 percent of the male population is capable of killing without remorse. These “levelheaded” warriors are drawn to military special operations units like the SEALs. They get missions guaranteed to end with someone—the enemy, preferably—in a body bag. Lacz no longer wondered whether he was one of Grossman’s “2 percenters.” He settled into an easy sleep.

The Last Punisher is an unapologetic tribute to the habits and attitudes of the professional warriors of SEAL Team Three. Lacz and his dehydrated co-belligerents storm enemy positions, clear courtyards, and fight their way out of ambushes in 120-degree heat. “Ramadi in the summer was a perpetual state of full-body swamp ass.” They convoy on the bomb-cratered thoroughfare known as Route Michigan, where, in the summer of 2006, you had as good a chance of being blown sky high by an IED as you did of getting sunburn. Lacz patrols with an American flag folded neatly and tucked between the plates of his body armor. He is ready to give all, at any minute, for his teammates. Preparing to break out of a fortified position under heavy fire, the thought occurs to him that he “wouldn’t want to be anywhere else than next to these bad motherfuckers.” Two of the BTFs of SEAL Team Three—Marc Lee and Medal of Honor winner Mike Monsoor—ultimately gave their lives in Ramadi. It stung; beneath the macho swagger, Lacz and his BTF buddies are still human. But they live, as few of us do, by the warrior ethos. “Pain is temporary. Death is fleeting,” Lacz writes. “The glory of a warrior lasts forever.”  

The Last Punisher—the title refers to the Marvel Comics vigilante hero, whose death’s-head logo Lacz and his cohorts adopt—is a late but worthy arrival to the Navy SEAL memoir genre. Marcus Lutrell’s Lone Survivor (2007), Eric Greitens’s The Heart and the Fist (2011), Brandon Webb’s The Red Circle (2012), and Kyle’s American Sniper (2012)—among others—have already peeled back some of the desert camouflage on this mysterious fighting fraternity. The increased exposure has ruffled some feathers. Not all BTFs want their stories told. When two SEAL Team Six operators wrote competing and contradictory tales of the Top Secret 2011 mission to kill Osama bin Laden, the brass at Naval Special Warfare Command weren’t pleased. “A critical tenet of our Ethos is ‘I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my action,’” wrote Rear Admiral Brian Losey and SEAL Force master chief M.L. Magaraci, in a “dear teammates” letter.

Lacz opts not to give a day-by-day, challenge-by-challenge account of SEAL life, such as the grueling Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training that makes sailors into SEALS. Others have provided those accounts. Nor does Lacz opine on the politics of the Iraq War. Instead, Lacz devotes The Last Punisher to filling in gaps in the story of the Battle of Ramadi and memorializing the sacrifices of BTFs like Lee and Monsoor. His pungent, plain-spoken account has lots of butt-kicking and some tears, and serves to remind civilian readers again that war is another world.

 Coal on the Fast Track to Elimination

The nObama administration's end goal is the complete elimination of coal. And if new data is to be believed, the administration is well ahead of schedule. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration calculations, "Coal-fired generating capacity in the United States dropped from 299 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2014 to 276 GW as of April 2016." Moreover, "Coal-fired generation's share of total electricity generation fell from 39% in 2014 to 28% in the first four months of 2016."
          That's a steep decline. And it's nowhere near what the EPA unrealistically projected in its December 2011 "Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Final Mercury and Air Toxics Standards." In that report, the agency estimated, "A small amount of coal-fired capacity, about 4.7 GW (less than 2 percent of all coal-fired capacity in 2015), is projected to be come uneconomic to maintain by 2015 [emphasis added]."
          Coal, by design, is on the fast track to elimination. And if it's phased out quicker than expected? Well, tough luck. What's bad news for the coal industry and the overall economy is good news for the EPA and its Democrat operatives. The Democratic Platform Committee just endorsed a provision "calling on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change." Too bad the committee won't endorse an investigation into the fraudulent projections government officials cling to whenever they seek to implement devious and onerous regulations.  -The Patriot Post

 Ginsburg Crosses the Line

Louis DeBroux: We suppose we can finally abandon any pretense that the judiciary is still a neutral body rendering opinions based on an impartial interpretation of the Constitution as written. Rather, the judiciary, and especially the Supreme Court, has become a supra-legislative oligarchy of nine (or eight, for the time being) that imposes its own version of morality and "social justice" upon the roughly 315 million Americans who are expected to abide by its diktats.
          One particular recent example tells us all we need to know in this regard — the recent political-stump utterance of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. This isn't entirely new ground for Ginsburg, though. She is known affectionately to her legions of leftist lemmings as "the Notorious RBG" (a take-off on the moniker of slain rapper The Notorious BIG), for her unrestrained tendency to speak openly about her personal feelings regarding matters involving the Court.
          But this time, she has exceeded all previous boundaries of decorum and propriety.
          Speaking in an interview with the New York Times, the official daily newspaper of the Democrat Party, Ginsberg, asked about the possibility of a Trump presidency, said, "I can't imagine what this place would be — I can't imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don't even want to contemplate that." She then chuckled at the thought of what her late husband would have said: "Now it's time for us to move to New Zealand."
          Questioned about this later, she went back to the well. "At first I thought it was funny," she said of Trump's candidacy. "To think that there's a possibility that he could be president..." she trailed off.
          Such remarks are well beyond inappropriate for a sitting justice. Edward Whelan III, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, called her comments indefensible, stating, "I think this exceeds the others in terms of her indiscretions. ... I am not aware of any justice ever expressing views on the merits or demerits of a presidential candidate in the midst of the campaign. ... [T]he soundness or unsoundness of her concerns about Donald Trump has no bearing on whether it was proper for her to say what she said."
          According to Stetson University law professor Louis J. Virelli, there could be serious consequences for such outbursts. "[P]ublic comments like the ones that Justice Ginsburg made could be seen as grounds for her to recuse herself from cases involving a future Trump administration," Virelli mused. "I don't necessarily think she would be required to do that, and I certainly don't believe that she would in every instance, but it could invite challenges to her impartiality based on her public comments."
          Not that Ginsburg or the other members of the Court's leftist bloc would have the decency to recuse themselves in such cases. Both Justice Ginsburg (a former lawyer for the ACLU) and Justice Elena Kagan refused to recuse themselves in the same-sex "marriage" cases that came before the Court in the last few years, despite having already performed multiple same-sex wedding ceremonies when such were still a violation of federal law. In fact, Ginsburg was so arrogant and shameless that she performed one of these ceremonies in the chambers of the Supreme Court itself.
          There is a major double-standard when it comes to such statements by members of the Court. During nObama's 2010 State of the Union Address, cameras caught Justice Samuel Alito mouthing the words "not true" in response to nObama's unseemly and unprecedented attacks on the Court's decision in the Citizens United case. Liberals called Alito "nasty" and "churlish" for this supposed breach of decorum, but these same liberals are positively giddy when leftist justices offer up far more blatant political commentary, as has Ginsburg.
          These realities again underscore the urgency of denying another leftist Democrat the opportunity to shape the direction of the Court for the next 30 years or more. With the death of stalwart originalist Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the most brilliant, effective and honorable justices in the history of the Supreme Court, the next president will be able to name his successor (if the GOP Senate holds the line against Barack nObama's nominee, Merrick Garland). Add to that the fact that Justice Ginsburg (83), Justice Kennedy (79), Justice Breyer (77) and Justice Thomas (68) are closer to the end of their tenure than their beginning, and the next president may be able to appoint as many as five new justices to the Court.
          Such an opportunity could strengthen the Court's conservative/originalist wing, or permanently cement the leftist vision of a malleable, "living" constitution, with constitutional protections of individual liberty, and the tempering effect of a separation of powers between the branches, forever lost. No pressure ... right?  -The Patriot Post

The First Iran War
by Caroliine Glick

{truthrevolt.org} ~ July 12, 2006 was the first day of what has become known as the Second Lebanon War. The name of the war, like most of the lessons taken from it, is off... The war Israel fought in the summer of 2006 against Hezbollah was not the same as the war Israel fought against the PLO in 1982. The war of 2006 was not a Lebanese war. It was an Iranian war. It was the first Iran war. Hezbollah, acting as Iran’s foreign legion, initiated the war with a massive mortar and rocket assault on communities in northern Israel. Under mortar cover, a Hezbollah unit crossed the border and attacked an IDF convoy traveling close to Kibbutz Zarit...  http://www.truthrevolt.org/commentary/glick-first-iran-war

This is the question all Americans should be asking in the wake of recent discoveries. The FBI has confirmed to a senior Republican senator that agents were sworn to secrecy -- and subject to lie detector tests -- in the liar-Hillary Clinton email probe, an extensive measure one former agent said could have a "chilling effect." A July 1 letter sent by a senior deputy to FBI Director James Comey to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, detailed the restrictions on agents. The letter, reviewed by Fox News, confirmed agents signed a "Case Briefing Acknowledgement" which says the disclosure of information is "strictly prohibited" without prior approval, and those who sign are subject to lie detector tests.reviewed by Fox News, confirmed agents signed a “Case Briefing Acknowledgement” which says the disclosure of information is “strictly prohibited” without prior approval, and those who sign are subject to lie detector tests...  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/07/14/gag-order-fbi-confirms-special-secrecy-agreements-for-agents-in-clinton-email-probe.html

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ More American voters than ever say they are not religious, making the religiously unaffiliated the nation's biggest voting bloc by faith for the first time in a presidential election year... This marks a dramatic shift from just eight years ago, when the non-religious were roundly outnumbered by Catholics, white mainline Protestants, and white evangelical Protestants. These numbers come from a new Pew Research Center survey, which finds that "religious 'nones,' who have been growing rapidly as a share of the U.S. population, now constitute one-fifth of all registered voters and more than a quarter of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters." That represents a 50 percent increase in the proportion of non-religious voters compared to eight years ago, when they made up just 14 percent of the overall electorate. "In 2008, religious 'nones' were outnumbered or at parity with white mainline Protestants and white Catholics," the survey's lead researcher, Greg Smith, said in an interview. "Today, 'nones' outnumber both of those groups."...The end times a-coming.  http://jewishworldreview.com/0716/ingraham071516.php3

"This is not designed to teach religion in the schools as a means of proselytizing," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a conservative advocacy group, and a GOP delegate from Louisiana who supported the Bible-in-schools provision.

However, the press has done what it usually does when a story threatens the narrative or reputation of the administration of President Barack nObama and former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton-they have, for the most part, ignored or misrepresented [3] the CCB's findings. The speakers at our June 29 event at the National Press Club in Washington exposed, once again, how the U.S. facilitated the provision of arms to al-Qaeda-linked rebels, and demonstrated that there were many warnings leading up to the attack on the Special Mission Compound, warnings that the administration ignored. In addition, the administration was derelict in its duty to send forces to aid those under attack in Benghazi. I said that "There's a media theme, or meme, out there that keeps saying-and you see this at the New York Times, CNN, everywhere, saying, ‘No new evidence of any wrongdoing by liar-Hillary Clinton.' That seems to be the conclusion of most of the media in response to yesterday's House Select Committee report. And we see a field of smoking guns."...The media is just as guilty as nObama and liar-Hillary. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/ccb-press-conference-on-benghazi-proves-dereliction-of-duty?f=must_reads

Comey: A Theory

.
{freedomsback.com} ~ Why did he do it? FBI director James Comey spent 14 minutes laying out an unassailable case for prosecuting liar-Hillary Clinton for the mishandling of classified material. Then at literally the last minute, he recommended against prosecution.

This is baffling. Under the statute (18 U.S.C. section 793(f)), it’s a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or “through gross negligence.” The evidence, as outlined by Comey, is overwhelming.

liar-Clinton either sent or received 110 emails in 52 chains containing material that was classified at the time. Eight of these chains contained information that was top secret. A few of the classified emails were so marked, contrary to liar-Clinton’s assertion that there were none.

These were stored on a home server that was even less secure than a normal Gmail account. Her communications were quite possibly compromised by hostile powers, thus jeopardizing American national security.

“An unclassified system was no place for that conversation,” said Comey of the classified emails. A rather kind euphemism, using the passive voice. In plainer, more direct language: It is imprudent, improper and indeed illegal to be conducting such business on an unsecured private server.

Comey summed up liar-Clinton’s behavior as “extremely careless.” How is that not gross negligence?

Yet Comey let her off the hook, citing lack of intent. But negligence doesn’t require intent. Compromising national secrets is such a grave offense that it requires either intent or negligence.

Lack of intent is, therefore, no defense. But one can question that claim as well. Yes, it is safe to assume that there was no malicious intent to injure the nation. But liar-Clinton clearly intended to set up an unsecured private server. She clearly intended to send those classified emails. She clearly received warnings from her own department about the dangers of using a private email account.

She meant to do what she did. And she did it. Intentionally.

That’s two grounds for prosecution, one requiring no intent whatsoever. Yet Comey claims that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Nor has one ever been brought.

Not so. Just last year, the Justice Department successfully prosecuted naval reservist Bryan Nishimura, who improperly downloaded classified material to his personal, unclassified electronic devices.

The government admitted that there was no evidence that Nishimura intended to distribute the material to others. Nonetheless, he was sentenced to two years of probation, fined and forever prohibited from seeking a security clearance, which effectively kills any chance of working in national security.

So why not liar-Hillary Clinton? The usual answer is that the liar-Clintons are treated by a different standard. Only little people pay. They are too well connected, too well protected to be treated like everybody else.

Alternatively, the explanation lies with Comey: He gave in to implicit political pressure, the desire to please those in power.

Certainly plausible, but given Comey’s reputation for probity and given that he holds a 10-year appointment, I’d suggest a third line of reasoning.

When Chief Justice John Roberts used a tortured, logic-defying argument to uphold nObamacare, he was subjected to similar accusations of bad faith. My view was that, as guardian of the Supreme Court’s public standing, he thought the issue too momentous — and the implications for the country too large — to hinge on a decision of the court. Especially after Bush v. Gore, Roberts wanted to keep the court from overturning the political branches on so monumental a piece of social legislation.

I would suggest that Comey’s thinking, whether conscious or not, was similar: He did not want the FBI director to end up as the arbiter of the 2016 presidential election. If liar-Clinton were not a presumptive presidential nominee but simply a retired secretary of state, he might well have made a different recommendation.

Prosecuting under current circumstances would have upended and redirected an already year-long presidential selection process. In my view, Comey didn’t want to be remembered as the man who irreversibly altered the course of American political history.

And with no guarantee that the prosecution would succeed, moreover. Imagine that scenario: You knock out of the race the most likely next president — and she ultimately gets acquitted! Imagine how Comey goes down in history under those circumstances.

I admit I’m giving Comey the benefit of the doubt. But the best way I can reconcile his reputation for integrity with the grating illogic of his liar-Clinton decision is by presuming that he didn’t want to make history.

I don’t endorse his decision. (Nor did I Roberts’.) But I think I understand it.

What about you, Loretta Lynch?  Will you once again say that what these Islamists need is "compassion", "unity" and "love"?

Will the democrats perform another sit in in Congress calling for a bill that would further restrict access to, or the purchase of, TRUCKS?

Will Obama call for more "sensitivity training" for our local police as well as our military forces?

And will they use this latest tragedy for more FUNDRAISING?

It started off well enough. Barack nObama's speech at the memorial for the five slain Dallas police officers began with appropriate solemnity and sorrow, complete with Scripture references and gratitude for the work law enforcement officers do all over the country. He told personal stories about each of the five officers.
          But then, as he always does, he got to himself (45 first-person mentions) and his political agenda. After proclaiming "we are not as divided as we seem," he proceeded to divide everyone by their tribal grievances. He again accused police departments of racism. And he ticked off a few of his agenda items:
          "As a society, we choose to underinvest in decent schools." Actually, we spend more on education per capita than any other nation. But spending does not automatically equal success.
          "We allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment." Those are the cities run for decades by leftist policies that we call Democrat urban poverty plantations.
          "We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer or even a book." What foolish nonsense. But at the same time, nObama said nothing about the thousands of people shot this year — mostly blacks by other blacks — on the aforementioned poverty planation in Chicago.
          In any case, this was an inappropriate venue for a stump speech. As Charles C.W. Cooke observed, "This, remember, was a funeral — a funeral for one of the police officers who was murdered last Thursday. It wasn't a rally. It wasn't a White House press conference. It wasn't a public statement, hastily arranged on the airport tarmac. It was a funeral." Unfortunately, nObama has a repugnant habit of standing on coffins to give his moralizing lectures.  -The Patriot Post

 U.S. Military Combat Readiness Crisis

China has been steadily developing and expanding its military capabilities. Its coast guard fleet is now bigger than those of Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines combined, and it has continued to expand, having increasing by over 25% since 2012. China's focus is not merely on protecting its own territorial waters, but on expanding the capacity of its navy to meet strategic objectives on a global scale. If China's aggressive naval expansion isn't concerning enough, its building of man-made islands in an attempt to claim exclusive territorial rights across much of the South China Sea should be. On Tuesday, an international court ruled that Chinese actions were in violation of established international maritime law; China's response? It considered the ruling "null and void" with no "binding force."
          With the NATO summit this past week, one of the primary concerns being discussed was continued Russian aggression. Not since the end of the Cold War have European nations become this alarmed at the steadily growing threat Russia. It has been two years since Russia annexed Crimea and backed the separatist revolt in eastern Ukraine, with little done to counter Russia's actions.
          At this time of growing threats from two of the world's most developed and potent militaries, the U.S. finds its own military combat readiness in a state of crisis — largely thanks to Barack nObama. Recently, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry stated that this lack of combat readiness is primarily the result of "budget cuts coupled with deployment, at a pace and a number that have not really declined very much." Thornberry mentioned several disconcerting statistics regarding the lack of combat readiness and one in particular that helped to puts this crisis into perspective. He stated, "Less than half of the Air Force combat forces are ready to face a peer competitor such as China and Russia." The other branches don't fare much better. Each one faces severe budget, personnel and equipment challenges to overall readiness. But at least the transgendered few can serve openly.  -The Patriot Post

The Center for Public Integrity on Thursday said that some of the money went to a firm owned by the brother of liar-Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and a former top State Department aid. Other money went to a firm tied to Senate Minority Leader Harry dinky-Reid that created the "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" campaign.

Rep John Ratcliffe (R-TX) does whittle the restrictive non-testimony of the Attorney General down to expose her obvious attempts to cover up her own wrongdoing as well as shielding liar-Clinton from prosecution. Rep Ratcliffe prefaces his opening question by reminding the Attorney General that she acknowledge the appearance of impropriety in her meeting with Bill liar-Clinton at the Phoenix airport. He then notes how the regime mouthpiece, the New York Times, published information that liar-Clinton had stated her willingness to retain Lynch as Attorney General if she were to win reelection.” He asks if the timing prompted her to give any consideration to recusal, her response was that she felt she could explain it away and retain her position of control. Ratcliffe says he doesn’t want to impugn her integrity by asking the obvious question of whether or not she was bought off by a job offer in a future liar-Clinton administration, but now that the decision has been made, asks if she’s willing to rule out working for the woman she just set free. Lynch once again babbles on, talking about her current focus rather than answering the question. Ratcliffe takes that as a “no.”...  http://rickwells.us/lynch-refuses-rule-job-clinton-ag/

 {city-journal.org} ~ When the country elected Barack nObama president in 2008, those of us who disagreed with many of his policy ideas were nonetheless consoled by the fact that his victory illustrated that America had moved well beyond institutional racism... Certainly the fact that nObama had succeeded in both a hard-fought Democratic primary and a general election meant that the country was ready to move past the intense focus on race in our national politics. Boy, were we wrong! Rather than seeing his own victory as a significant advance in American social life, nObama and those he appointed to his administration vigorously put forward the idea that America remains a deeply racist country, and they have redefined racism in the broadest terms possible. It’s not a coincidence, then, that more than seven years into the administration of the nation’s first black president, Americans are more deeply divided on race then they have been in decades. Their own president has fostered the divide. Several nObama administration initiatives have distorted the national conversation on race. In 2010, for instance, the administration’s education and justice departments launched investigations against school districts around the country for disciplining black students more often, proportionately, than students of other races. A Department of Education study observed that black students were three and a half times more likely to be disciplined. The study alleged that, “everyday educational experience for many students of color violates the principle of equity.” In making its charges, the department ignored compelling data showing that black students were more likely to misbehave in and around school—including crime statistics revealing that blacks were 25 times more likely than their white counterparts to be arrested at schools for serious offenses like battery...  http://www.city-journal.org/html/obamas-biggest-failure-14638.html

Have we ever had a president as blinded by his ideology and as oblivious or dismissive about his own biases and the double standards he invokes? If blacks or Muslims commit acts of violence, nObama calls for unity and demands we not rush to judgment. He bends over backward to deny the racial or religious motives of the actors. In countless acts of Islamic terrorism, before he has even expressed outrage or sorrow over the victims' deaths, nObama lectures us on the immorality of blaming actors of a single religion, tells us how wonderful and peaceful the religion is, and admonishes us against drawing inferences based on indisputable facts. If, on the other hand, blacks or Muslims are even arguably the victims of racial or religious violence, he immediately rushes to judgment and attributes racial or religious motives to the actors...

Nor is this war against the police confined to Dallas. It is occurring across the country. Who is to blame? There is a ton of blame, more than enough to go around to the wide range of people and institutions that have contributed to these disasters. In addition to the murderers who have killed people they don't even know, there are those who created the atmosphere of blind hatred in which such killers flourish. Chief among those who generate this poisonous atmosphere are career race hustlers like Al Sharpton and racist institutions like the "Black Lives Matter" movement. All such demagogues need is a situation where there has been a confrontation where someone was white and someone else was black.

AIPAC's moment of decision

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Later this month the Republicans and Democrats will hold their respective conventions. Donald Trump and liar-Hillary Clinton will officially become the presidential nominees.

Ahead of the conventions, both parties selected delegates to draft their platforms. The Democratic platform committee convened late last month.

As soon as the delegates to the Democratic platform committee were named, it was clear that the party’s support for Israel would come under assault.

After liar-Clinton clinched the Democratic nomination with her primary victories, she decided to allow her defeated opponent, socialist senator Bernie Sanders, to appoint a third of the committee’s membership.

Three of Sanders’s representatives are outspoken opponents of the US alliance with Israel. Rep. Keith Ellison, Prof. Cornell West and James Zogby have all distinguished themselves as rabid critics of Israel and apologists for Palestinian terrorism.

Although commentators downplayed the significance of their appointments, noting that liar-Clinton’s representatives were, by and large, supportive of Israel, the fact is that liar-Clinton was under no obligation to give Sanders’s supporters a seat at the table. That she did so shows that she wanted to showcase growing Democratic opposition to Israel and tip her hat to the growing power of anti-Israel forces in the party.

As expected, Sanders’s representatives submitted a draft platform that called for an “end to the occupation and the illegal settlements.”

In the end, the committee reached a compromise.

While the Zogby/West/Ellison wording was rejected, the draft platform makes explicit mention of Palestinian grievances for the first time calling for the establishment of a Palestinian state that will ensure “the independence, sovereignty and dignity” of the Palestinians.

Watching the drama unfold, the Republicans, reasonably, sought to play up the growing disparity between the GOP’s support for Israel and the Democrats’ growing hostility. After Ellison, West and Zogby were appointed – again, with liar-Clinton’s consent – the Republican Party released an ad attacking the Democrats for abandoning their traditional support for the Jewish state.

The numbers speak for themselves. According to a Pew Research Center survey released in May, since 2014, support for Palestinians among liberal Democrats – that is, hard-line nObama supporters – has skyrocketed from 21 percent to 40%. Support for Israel among the group during the same period decreased from 39% to 33%.

The result marks the first time that support for Palestinians exceeded support for Israel among any major US political demographic. On the other hand, among conservative Republicans, support for Israel stands at 79% while support for Palestinians is almost negligible – 4%. The situation among moderate to liberal Republicans is not much different.

Sixty-five percent support Israel, 13% support the Palestinians. On the other hand, support for Israel versus Palestinians among moderate Democrats stands at 53% to 19%.

To date, the Republicans’ efforts to capitalize on their support for Israel have been stymied by the American Jewish leadership. The desire of Jewish leaders to sweep the growing partisan distinctions under the rug is understandable. They fear that noting the disparity will anger the anti-Israel forces in the Democratic Party, who are led by the president.

Such an event, they fear, will further diminish their capacity to influence nObama’s policy on Israel.

Moreover, it could endanger their support among American Jews.

Since most American Jews are Democrats – and indeed, most American Jewish leaders are Democrats – there is little appetite for a fight with the Democratic Party. Admitting that Republican support for Israel is far stronger than Democratic support would require them to act. Either they will have to switch parties, or they will have to wage an ugly fight with the increasingly powerful – and White House-backed – anti-Israel voices in the party. Not only would such a fight risk losing the party, it would risk losing the Jews who, if forced to choose between their Jewish and liberal sympathies, would, without hesitation, opt to remain in the liberal camp.

The desire to pretend away the problem was on full display late last month. Following the Democrats’ platform meeting, the Anti-Defamation League released a statement calling for the Republicans to effectively replicate the Democrats’ Israel section in the GOP’s platform. ADL’s national chairman Marvin Nathan said, “The platform committee rightfully affirmed the Democrats’ and America’s longstanding commitment to Israel’s security and to Israel’s fundamental rights and enshrined key principles of its quest for peace with the Palestinians through a directly negotiated two-state solution.”

The ADL called on the GOP to approve “similarly strong and unifying language” in its platform “so that both platforms reflect America’s strong bipartisan support for Israel.”

J Street was a central force in the Democratic committee’s deliberation. The far-left Jewish group, which claims to be pro-Israel and pro-peace but has not supported any pro-Israel initiative since it was founded in 2008, supported all the members of Congress who were delegates on the committee.

The rise of J Street as a major force among Democrats is emblematic of the nObama administration’s hostility to Israel and its Jewish American supporters.

The main casualty of J Street’s rise has been AIPAC. J Street was founded to challenge AIPAC’s claim to represent the Jewish community as a whole by claiming that it doesn’t speak for Jews on the Left.

In so has served as a means for enabling Democrats from far-left districts to effectively abandon Israel while using J Street to hide the fact that they have done so. In this way, J Street’s very presence on the political scene has diminished AIPA C’s influence over the party.

J Street supports all manner of anti-Israel measures in the interests of “peace” with the Palestinians.

Indeed, it supported the Sanders delegates’ platform proposal. And throughout nObama’s long courtship of Iran at Israel’s expense, J Street has been an ardent opponent of anti-Iran sanctions and an advocate for whatever deal nObama came up with.

nObama’s use of J Street is just one of the ways has worked to emasculate AIPAC. He has also deliberately hung AIPAC out to dry, repeatedly, in order to humiliate it and weaken its influence over lawmakers.

The most glaring example of that practice was nObama’s insistence that AIPAC lobby Congress in favor of his plan to bomb regime targets in Syria in 2013. Israel had no particular stake in the issue, so AIPAC had no particular reason to get involved.

Moreover, nObama’s plan was unpopular among Democrats and Republicans alike. Democrats opposed his proposed missile strikes because they oppose all US involvement in Middle Eastern wars.

Republicans opposed it, because his plan made no strategic sense. And yet, in the hopes of winning sympathy, and through it, perhaps, influence over its Israel policies, AIPAC dutifully sent its lobbyists to the Hill to push nObama’s plan.

In the end, of course, AIPAC was humiliated, when at the last moment, nObama decided to scrap the strikes.

Then of course, there was nObama’s extraordinary assault of AIPAC over its opposition to his nuclear appeasement of Iran. Throughout the years leading up to his nuclear capitulation to the mullahs last summer, Republicans and pro-Israel Democrats worked together to pass Iran sanctions laws. To appease the administration, AIPAC went out of its way to water down the bills. But the administration was unimpressed.

Last summer, during the fight over Senate Democratic support for the deal, the administration painted AIPAC as a treacherous organization that was working against the US interest for Israel’s benefit.

Anti-Semitic language was deftly deployed by administration surrogates against AIPAC to rally support.

While AIPAC had no choice but to oppose nObama’s embrace of Iran, it has given the administration no fight over its support for the Palestinians against Israel. Indeed, not only has it gone along with the administration’s hostile positions against Israel on the Palestinian issue, it works out that AIPAC has lobbied Republicans to support the Palestinians.

Last week, Republican activists sent me a video recording of the 2012 Republican platform committee’s deliberations regarding the party’s position on Israel. In 2008, the Republican platform included an unequivocal endorsement of unified Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. In its words, “We support Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel and moving the American embassy to that undivided capital of Israel.”

In the video recordings, Sue Lynch, a delegate from Wisconsin, is seen introducing an amendment calling for the GOP to strike mention of “unified Jerusalem” from its platform. According to the activists, Lynch was acting as a surrogate for AIPAC in submitting the amendment. And in the event, the 2012 Republican platform sufficed with a mention of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Later in the same recording, a committee member submitted an amendment that would have deleted all mention of a Palestinian state from the platform.

She argued that there was no reason for the US to take a position on the matter, since it has to be determined by Israel. From the response the amendment received, it was difficult to discern any controversy over the effort.

That is, until Brad Gordon, AIPAC director of policy and government relations, took the floor. Gordon repeatedly argued that by not committing the GOP to supporting a Palestinian state, the Republicans risked harming Israel.

“We do not want to do anything that would embarrass the Israeli government,” he said.

And since nObama coerced Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into endorsing a Palestinian state, Gordon argued that it would be embarrass Netanyahu to leave it out of the platform. In testament to its power, AIPAC got what it wanted. The amendment deleting mention of the Palestinians was defeated.

In other words, acting through a surrogate and directly, AIPAC weakened Republican support for Israel.

Next week, Republican delegates will convene to write their platform, ahead of their convention, which will begin on July 18. Donald Trump has already expressed reservations about supporting Palestinians statehood and supports moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Moreover, the Israeli government’s guidelines make no mention of Palestinians statehood.

As understandable as the US Jewish leadership’s attempts to hide the growing disparity between Republican and Democratic support have been, the fact is they have failed to bring any positive result.

Now, as the anti-Israel voices among the Democrats have grown so powerful that liar-Clinton has enabled them to influence the party’s position on Israel, AIPAC’s moment of decision has arrived.

Does AIPAC intend to remain a pro-Israel organization? Or will it opt to become a softer version of J Street and work to hollow out Republican support for Israel just as J Street has hollowed out Democratic support for the Jewish state?

Why Ginsburg Fears Trump

 

If we needed another reminder of why it matters who is elected president and who gets to pick the replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia is important, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reminds us. In statements to CNN and the New York Times, Ginsburg called presumptive GOP presidential nominee a “faker” and warned of the danger of a Trump administration to SCOTUS and the country. As ABC News reported:

"He is a faker," Ginsburg said of Trump on Monday on CNN. "He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that."....

Paul Albaugh: Who is it going to be for VP? That's the question on the minds of many since Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee. There's little but speculation at this point, but it's worth taking a look at several potential picks and what they may or may not bring to the table to give Trump a stronger ticket for the presidency.
          For the record, the office of vice president is viewed by many as one of the least important and undesirable offices in government. John Adams once complained to his wife Abigail, "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."
          However, the VP is an important position as he or she is responsible for assuming the presidency should something happen, not to mention serving as the president of the Senate — a critical position should the balance be 50-50. And in modern politics, particularly this election cycle, Trump's selection of a running mate could very well make or break his candidacy.
          Trump has said he will make his pick by the end of this week, and by all indications he is leaning toward choosing someone who is more "political" than "military." Trump says, "I don't need two anti-establishment people," and he has indicated that he will likely pick someone who helps to unify the Republican Party.
          The most floated names are Indiana Governor Mike Pence, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and retired Lieutenant General and former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Michael Flynn.
          Pence is arguably the most conservative choice on the list, and in more ways than one. He identifies as being "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican — in that order." Pence could signal to conservatives that they are not forgotten. Pence brings both congressional and executive experience, and he's a calm and collected presence to counter Trump's temperament. Pence is, however, not extremely popular in his home state, as he opposed a state funded pre-kindergarten program and signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was vehemently opposed by the Rainbow Mafia and many businesses in the Hoosier State.
          Christie, a former presidential candidate himself, is well known, but is at best a moderate choice with perhaps more political baggage than other choices. Regardless, he has been vetted by Trump's team and despite the bridge-closing scandal that has tarnished his tenure as governor, he remains on the short list. Christie was very much anti-Trump during the primary debates, but shortly after dropping out, became an avid supporter. In fact, the two have become friends — so much so that Christie is managing Trump's presidential transition project. Christie is a lot like Trump in that he bluntly speaks his mind. However, Christie's approval rating is a paltry 26% in the Garden State, and those numbers do not indicate that he would add anything special — like turning New Jersey red — to Trump's candidacy.
          Next on the list is Newt Gingrich, who, it goes without saying, is well known. His political knowledge and experience are perhaps unmatched by many of the other potential VPs. Gingrich is reportedly "actively lobbying" for the slot. Further, in a recent interview he stated, "If Trump offers the position and is serious about it, which I think he would be after our conversations, listen, I would feel compelled to serve the country." On the down side, Gingrich may be viewed as being past his prime, and also perhaps too much like Trump in both temperament and marital history. Trump has said there is a place in his administration for Gingrich. But is VP the right slot?
          The last most-talked-about potential VP is Michael Flynn. Flynn no doubt would bring military, national security and intelligence experience to the Trump ticket. Aside from that, however, he doesn't bring much more. In fact, he could actually be a stumbling block for Trump, at least among conservatives who value life. Flynn's recent answer to a question on abortion was, "I think women have to be able to choose. ... They are the ones that have to make the decision because they're the ones that are going to decide to bring up that child or not." His answer would no doubt put him at odds with voters in the pro-life party.
          Which of these choices — or perhaps a dark horse — will bolster Trump's chances of winning in November? Or perhaps the better question is, which of these potential picks is best qualified to be the proverbial one heartbeat away?  -The Patriot Post

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Gary Bauer: "Breitbart.com has found evidence that for a time Micah Johnson was involved with the New Black Panthers. You may recall that the nObama administration refused to prosecute its members after they physically threatened white voters at polling places in Pennsylvania. Here's a simple question: Why has the nObama administration refused to seriously pursue an armed racist group that produced a video giving step-by-step instructions on how to ambush police officers? In the video, the group mocked the widows who would be created by the ambushes. The narrator of that video was reportedly among those arrested outside of the Baton Rouge police headquarters over the weekend. In one of the most disgusting displays of insensitivity and race baiting, liar-Hillary Clinton, fresh from her victory over the rule of law, told CNN that white people 'have to start listening to the legitimate cries that are coming from our African-American fellow citizens.' Are liar-Clinton and nObama capable of even saying that there are radicals in the black community trying to stoke unrest, who may even desire a race war? In that sense, they are no different than Dylan Roof, who was also trying to provoke a race war."   -The Patriot Post

{aei.org} ~ This week, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran Deal, marks its one year anniversary... The agreement settled between the P5+1 (including the US, UK, Germany, France, China, and Russia) and Iran aims to slow advancements to Iran’s nuclear program by limiting its production of enriched uranium and nuclear weapons advancement in return for sanctions relief. Reflecting on the last twelve months, AEI scholars assess what has come to pass since the Islamic Republic reentered the global economy, Tehran’s continued role in the conflicts raging in Iraq and Syria, how Congress can press the administration to more effectively enforce the deal and, most importantly, the state of its nuclear program. The Iran nuclear deal was a US setback of enormous proportions, a diplomatic Waterloo. It cannot be fixed or renegotiated, but must be immediately, unambiguously terminated by the new president. Make no mistake, however; abrogation alone will not restore the status quo ante. Mr. nObama has fundamentally weakened our position by scuttling international sanctions, unfreezing assets and tolerating belligerent Iranian behavior that shows its utter contempt for the deal itself. Tehran has disproved any idea that acceding to its nuclear demands would cause basic shifts in its international conduct. The new president must, therefore, institute planning to oust the ayatollahs, a necessary but arduous task needlessly complicated by Mr. nObama’s mistakes...

Meanwhile, FBI agents expressed their “disappointment” over FBI Director James Comey’s decision not to recommend charges against liar-Clinton, sources close to the matter told The Post. “FBI agents believe there was an inside deal put in place after the Loretta Lynch/Bill liar-Clinton tarmac meeting,” said one source. Really? Was that your first clue? The sheer serendipity of Bill liar-Clinton's private plane "just happening" to be on the ground in Phoenix at the exact same time that Loretta Lynch was at the airport?

The investigators found that UN officials remain in a “state of near denial” about this corruption: “The report is pretty devastating,” observes Brett Schaefer, an expert on U.N. finances at the conservative Heritage Foundation. “The U.N. apparently has very little interest in policing fraud, and there is very little reason to believe its own figures and data about it.” The JIU performed the investigation after numerous independent auditors “suspected fraud reporting statistics and erupting procurement scandals.” They found that over half of UN staffers and executives believe fraud goes unpunished in the organization. Those who spoke out do not believe they will receive protection if they point out or report fraud...Can we kick them out of New York now?  http://legalinsurrection.com/2016/07/report-finds-un-ignores-denies-corruption/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

Iran funds Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations, and is second only to China in the large number of citizen executions. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vows opposition to the United States and criticizes America's presence in the Persian Gulf.

Prince Turki bin Faisal Al-Saud Drops

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ At the annual gathering of Iranians outside of Paris, France on 9 July 2016, where some 100,000 showed up to express support for regime change in Tehran, one of the guest speakers dropped a bombshell announcement... Even before he took the podium, Prince Turki bin Faisal Al-Saud, appearing in the distinctive gold-edged dark cloak and white keffiyeh headdress of the Saudi royal family, of which he is a senior member, drew commentary and lots of second looks. The Prince is the founder of the King Faisal Foundation, and chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, and served from 1977-2001 as director general of Al-Mukhabarat Al-A'amah, Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency, resigning the position on 1 September 2001, some ten days before the attacks of 9/11. He took the podium late in the afternoon program on 9 July and, after a discourse on the shared Islamic history of the Middle East, launched into an attack on Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, whose 1979 revolution changed the course of history not just in Iran, but throughout the world. His next statement sent a shock wave through the assembly: Bin Faisal pledged support to the Iranian NCRI opposition and to its President-elect Maryam Rajavi personally. Given bin Faisal's senior position in the Saudi royal family and his long career in positions of key responsibility in the Kingdom, it can only be understood that he spoke for the Riyadh government. The hall erupted in cheers and thunderous applause... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/prince-turki-bin-faisal-al-saud-drops-bombshell-at-iranian-opposition-rally?f=must_reads

Congressional Black Corruption

{truthrevolt.org} ~  If Black Lives Matter, then why have entrenched members of the Congressional Black Caucus spent more time enriching themselves than taking care of their neglected constituents?

Too many social justice protesters are busy throwing shade, rocks, bottles, concrete blocks and vicious death threats at police officers of all colors trying to keep the peace.

Instead of moaning about "#WhitePrivilege," I invite radical racial identity warriors to join me in taking on the black political elites selling out their people. Help expose the most crooked members of the caucus of Congressional Black Corruption:

Corrine Brown: This 12-term Democrat from Florida received a 24-count federal indictment last week while her Congressional Black Caucus colleagues tried to drown out the news with diversionary gun-control theatrics. Brown and her chief of staff are charged with creating a fraudulent education charity to collect over $800,000 in donations from major corporations and philanthropies for their own private slush fund between 2012 and early 2016.

The director of the hoax group, dubbed One Door for Education, Inc., pleaded guilty last year to fraud and conspiracy. Prosecutors say two relatives of Brown and her chief of staff steered tens of thousands of dollars in cash deposits to their accounts. The charitable contributions paid for lavish galas, NFL tickets, concert luxury box seats, golf tournaments and apparently Brown's tax bills.

Despite raising nearly a million bucks, Brown's "charity" only issued two measly educational scholarships for minority students. So while shamelessly claiming this week to be a martyr akin to the murdered Dallas police officers and victims of the Orlando jihad, Brown is embroiled in a sordid scandal that exploited black children's lives to line her own pockets.

You can't blame righty or whitey this time, Crooked Corrine.

Chaka Fattah: This 11-term Pennsylvania Democrat was convicted in late June on 23 charges of racketeering, money laundering and fraud, along with four other co-defendants. His son was sentenced earlier this year to a five-year prison term after being found guilty of 22 counts of separate federal bank and tax fraud charges related to his misuse of business loans and federal education contracts to pay for designer clothes, massive bar tabs and luxury cars.

Fattah the Elder's crimes are tied to schemes to repay an illegal $1 million campaign loan. Like his rotten apple of a son, Fattah siphoned off federal grant money and nonprofit funds including donations to his educational foundation -- sound familiar? to pay off political consultants.

The con artists inside your own communities are your own worst enemies.

Eddie Bernice Johnson: 12-term Democrat from Dallas, similarly helped steer thousands of dollars in Congressional Black Caucus Foundation college scholarships for four family members and two of her top aide's children in violation of the nonprofit's rules.

Maxine Waters: This 13-term Beltway swamp queen from California and past chair of the Congressional Black Caucus walked away with a slap on the wrist from the toothless House Ethics Committee in 2012 after being charged with multiple ethics violations related to her meddling in minority-owned OneUnited Bank.

The banks' executives donated $12,500 to Mad Maxine's congressional campaigns. Her husband, Sidney Williams, was an investor in one of the banks that merged into OneUnited. As stockholders, they profited handsomely from their relationship with the bank.

And vice versa. After Waters' office personally intervened and lobbied the Treasury Department in 2008, the financial institution received $12 million in federal TARP bailout money -- despite another government agency concluding that the bank operated "without effective underwriting standards" and engaged "in speculative investment practices." Top bank executive Kevin Cohee squandered money on a company-financed Porsche and a Santa Monica, California, beachfront mansion. After the federal bailout of Fannie/Freddie, OneUnited's stock in the government-sponsored enterprises plunged to a value estimated at less than $5 million. Only through Waters' intervention was OneUnited able to secure an emergency meeting with the Treasury and its then-Secretary Henry Paulson.

Waters' government cronyism earned her a "Most Corrupt member of Congress" designation from the left-wing Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

Then there's Alcee Hastings, the 12-term Florida corruptocrat impeached while a federal judge in 1989 for making false statements and producing false documents in a 1983 criminal trial accusing him of seeking a $150,000 bribe. He went on to win a seat in Congress in 1992 and used his position to enrich his various lady friends, including paying one girlfriend-turned-congressiona
l deputy district director more than half a million dollars in salary and another he calls a "staff assistant" to accompany on his endless junkets abroad.

Those three are just the start. There's Texas' Sheila Jackson Lee and the Medicare fraud racket involving a local hospital in her district; Greg Meeks and his $400,000 earmark for a fake health clinic in New York City and Caribbean resort jaunts underwritten by convicted financier Allen Stanford; and Wisconsin's Gwen Moore and her lucrative friends and family. And, of course, the ethics violations, shady business deals and tax troubles from New York's Charlie Rangel deserve their own encyclopedia.

My message for BLM? Put down your black power fists and weapons. Give the "#BlueLivesMurder" and "Fry 'em up like bacon" chants a rest. Aim your outrage at self-serving black leaders and their abject failure to improve black people's lives.

So I got a phone call from my 88-year-old black dad asking if I am familiar with “The View” TV show. I told dad the show is riddled with liberal bias. Dad said the show featured a horrific incident in which a young black male was unfairly shot by police. As best I could, I tried to explain to dad how irresponsible it was for the TV show to feature a rare “bad shoot” in the midst of cops being murdered nationwide. Despicably, the TV show wanted to do its part to further Black Lives Matter's evil lie that cops murder blacks at will.

black on black

I bombarded dad with facts and stats which prove that blacks are the greatest threat to black lives, not racist white cops. When I hung up the phone, I felt dad still leaned towards believing the lie promoted on “The View.” It is frustrating, folks.

My fellow Americans we cannot continue allowing the Left to pull the same dirty trick on us to get their way. First, they launch a media blitz promoting a false reality about one of their agenda items. Then, the Left demands that we embrace their lie or suffer being branded divisive and haters.

For example: Liberal media, the White House and Democrat talking heads are promoting Black Lives Matter's lie that cops are racist and routinely murder blacks. Nothing could be further from the truth. Cops have saved tens of thousands of minority lives since the mid-1990s. Stats prove that 93% of blacks are killed by blacks. And yet, the Left is hell-bent on intimidating us into making the Black Lives Matter lie our reality.

I find this particular Leftist tactic insidious and repulsive. The Left tugs at heartstrings by saying that they only want “unity.” But here's the dirty little secret. Unity to Leftist means they demand that decent fair-minded Americans ignore truth, ignore common sense, abandon their convictions and embrace the Left's latest anti-God and anti-American evil agenda item.

Everyone who dares speak truth and refuses to surrender to the Left's bullying are targeted for total destruction; branded divisive and haters. Every time we pander and surrender, we embolden a small group of liberal activists to impose more of their iron-fist will on the majority of Americans.

1_142015_protest48201_c0-0-3040-1771_s575x335.jpg?e453c21decacdb76c1380f49f1a2fc3396606dd8
This has to stop folks. We must begin speaking the truth. Black Lives Matter is a well-funded vile hate-generating terrorist group. Their movement was founded on the lie that black criminal Michael Brown was shot with his hands up surrendering to a police officer. The truth is that Brown was shot while attacking the police officer, attempting to take his gun. These facts are public record, and yet are ignored by the Left. Black Lives Matter is pure evil, folks. Why in the world would we allow BLM to lord over us; sheepishly surrendering by making their evil lie our reality?

I am black. It frustrates me hearing well-intentioned whites and duped blacks falling for Black Lives Matter, Obama, Hollywood and the mainstream media's lie about our brave men and women in blue.

Yes, bad shootings do happen. I am sure there are bad cops. Jesus had 12 disciples and even one of them was a bad apple. Studies confirm that most cops are heroes, committed to protecting all lives.

I am sick of it, folks. I am sick of Americans being bullied into embracing things that they know are wrong; sick of the promotion of blatant lies; sick of being told we must make absurd lies our reality; sick of evil triumphing. It is time we take a stand. It is time we just say, “No!”

A scene from the western movie Pale Rider comes to mind. A group of humble miners asked the character played by Clint Eastwood to lead them in battle against a powerful group of bad guys. Eastwood told the miners that he would lead the charge, but some of them would die. Freedom ain't free, folks.

Standing up to the Left probably will not result in one's physical death. However, it could cost you everything else. I pray that God gives me his courage and strength to stand when I need it.

blue lives matter

I am in the process of organizing/producing a Blue Lives Matter rally.  My goal is to spread the truth about our police and unify Americans. I envision a black choir singing; blacks on stage sharing their positive encounters with police. A woman I approached to be on my production team said she loves the idea, but feared Black Lives Matter will be angry and cause trouble; possibly violence.

This is the intimidation that I am sick of. I told her we cannot allow evil people to stop us from doing what we know is the right thing to do. I assured her that we will invite lots of cops and hire security. After we select the venue, date, and acquire sponsors for the rally, I will promote it.

For years, I have been quoting statistics to my black relatives and associates which prove that most of the problems plaguing black communities are self-induced. But when my relative's beloved black president, democrats and mainstream media tells them all their problems are the fault of racist America, they believe it. They simply regard me as their weird Uncle Tom relative.

The Bible says be not weary in well doing. I must confess. I have been feeling weary, folks; very, very weary.

Norman Vincent Peale

Sitting on the beach the other day, I read a book I acquired over 20 years ago. The book is Norman Vincent Peale's You Can If You Think You Can.

Dr. Peale wrote: “When everything seems to be going wrong, that is the time to practice the positive mental belief that you can still achieve your objective provided you persist, trying everything. If you start thinking it's hopeless, your state of mind will actually attract further trouble to defeat you. Instead, hold the thought that conditions will shift in your favor -- and get going.”

Dr. Peale also said it is always too soon to give up. It is crucially important that we stop pandering and surrendering to the Left's bullying tactics. It only empowers them to beat up on us more. It is time that we persist in our efforts to spread the truth in prayerful expectation of changing the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans. Brothers and sisters, let’s get going.

 Socialist Endorses liar-Hillary

The long awaited and inevitable announcement should surprise few. Later today in New Hampshire, liar-Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are scheduled to make a joint appearance were Sanders is expected to officially endorse liar-Hillary for president. From the very beginning of the Democrat presidential nomination process there has been little question as to who the nominee would be. After all, isn't it finally liar-Hillary's turn?
          Yet Sanders served his purpose, maybe even better than many within the DNC hoped, of pushing the party further left. His unabashed embrace of socialism, highlighted by his calls for free college, Medicare for all and a $15 minimum wage, proved to be especially appealing to Millennial voters.
          In an obviously choreographed manner, Sanders' endorsement of liar-Hillary should unite the supposedly fractured Democrat Party. liar-Clinton will promise to make concessions to Sanders' supporters by adopting several of his more popular campaign issues. As liar-Hillary happily becomes the Left's next socialist standard bearer, she will inevitably pivot to the center, seeking to present herself as the most balanced and qualified candidate for the presidency. But that pivot will be as phony as her excuses for her private email server or liar-Clinton Foundation corruption.  -The Patriot Post

When the presidential primaries began, Donald Trump rocketed to near instant fame. While not everyone embraced his non-PC demeanor, it intrigued just about every political junkie.

Secondly, promotion: Once the primaries were complete, the media could sever its so-called "neutrality" and turn on Trump, using his own rhetoric as a weapon against him in the media's quest to pick liar-Hillary Clinton as the successor to Barack nObama. New data affirms this strategy.
          According to a new Harvard University study, "During the period spanned by the first four contests, Trump dominated the news coverage. ... Trump's coverage was also highly favorable. Positive news statements about his candidacy outnumbered negative ones by 57 percent to 43 percent." But it was all downhill from there. By Super Tuesday, positive coverage decreased to 53% (47% negative). From March 15 to May 3, the correlation was reversed: Just 46% of media coverage was affirmative, and 54% negative. By the final month, coverage was 61% critical compared to just 39% positive.
          In March, we reported on Trump's dominating of campaign media coverage. It was estimated at the time that Trump's appeal garnered him nearly $2 billion in free media coverage, far outpacing even liar-Hillary Clinton's $746 million. With the primaries now over, the media can use its leverage to elect its nominee: liar-Hillary Clinton. Trump might be unpredictable. But the media isn't.  -The Patriot Post

{clarionproject.org} ~ The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group identified by the Justice Department as a Muslim Brotherhood entity and designated as terrorists by the United Arab Emirates, boasts of having 325 meetings with members of Congress or their staff over the last year... The group says it also enjoyed $3 million worth free advertising through media appearances this year alone, resulting in 50 million views of its work. A 2007 court filing by federal prosecutors notes how two of CAIR’s founders were wiretapped at a secret Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas meeting in Philadelphia in 1993, where they participated in a robust discussion of how to use deception to influence American public opinion in a direction favorable to the Islamist cause...The FBI should close their doors and send them back home.  https://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/cair-met-congress-325-times-2016#

{arstechnica.com} ~ After nearly a year of radio silence, the infidelity hookup site Ashley Madison has finally released a statement about what's next for the company... Among other things, the company's new executive team admits that it used fembots to lure men into paying to join the site, which promised the men discreet affairs with willing women. In fall 2015, Ashley Madison made headlines when a hacker or hackers known as Impact Team released massive data dumps from the company's source code, member databases, and then-CEO Noel Biderman's e-mail. The member database contained the names of 34 thousand people trying to have extra-marital affairs, and the revelations induced at least one man to commit suicide. In the wake of the data breach, a number of people have filed lawsuits against the company, and the company is currently under investigation by the US Federal Trade Commission. Last year, as part of an investigation into the data dump, I published a series of articles at Gizmodo exposing how the company used female chatbots called "hosts" or "engagers" to trick men into paying for Ashley Madison's services. The scam was simple: when a man signed up for a free account, he almost immediately got a chat or private message from a "woman" whose profile showed a few sexy pictures. To reply to his new lady friend, the man had to pay for an account. In reality, that lady was a few lines of PHP code...  http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/07/ashley-madison-admits-using-fembots-to-lure-men-into-spending-money/?utm_source=newsletters&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=JVL+07_13_16

It’s outrageous and more evidence of the special rules the liar-Clintons live by. Mr. Ortel believes a prominent group – politicians out of DC – are about to take it on and it might be bipartisan. They will demand FBI Director Comey look into the Foundation. What he found floored him. The liar-Clintons took a charity approved to build a presidential archival library out of Arkansas where the laws are very different and moved it into New York where the laws are strict. They completely ignored the New York laws and took on projects that had nothing to do with the library. The charity, Mr. Ortel said, “is a complete fraud.” It has never had a real audit and under New York law, once they take in $500,000 a year, an audit is required...  http://www.independentsentinel.com/breaking-the-most-outrageous-clinton-scandal-is-about-to-hit-the-fan/

{aim.org} ~ With all the focus on the Middle East turmoil, Ukraine’s importance to the West should not be overlooked... When Ukraine’s pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in 2014 by public protests sparked by his refusal to sign an association agreement with the European Union, he fled the country. Then details of his lavish lifestyle were exposed to public view, and the full extent of his corruption became clear. Together with his corrupt cronies, Mr. Yanukovych, who now remains a guest of Vladimir Putin, is believed to have stolen upwards of $100 billion. Unbelievable. When a pro-Western government headed by current President Petro Poroshenko took over, Ukrainians hoped for genuine reforms that would take their country out of Moscow’s sphere of influence and end the blatant corruption that characterized his predecessor’s tenure. That’s certainly was the mood when I was in Kiev. Regrettably, more than two years after Mr. Poroshenko’s election, real reform remains elusive. As Reuters commentator Josh Cohen has put it, in today’s Ukraine corruption is so bad, a Nigerian prince would be embarrassed...  http://www.aim.org/guest-column/a-culture-of-impunity/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email071216&utm_medium=email

From the moment she lowered her hand after affirming she would tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth she told absolutely nothing of the truth. Everything out of her mouth was the obfuscation, diversion and deflection of someone covering up for their own wrongdoing and that of others. Trey Gowdy was one of the many House members who took a turn questioning the frustrating political tool of the Marxist left. He addresses the perception that there is a dual track, with one set of rules for the commoners and another for the elites, stressing how vital the perception of fairness is to the proper functioning of our judicial system.

Gohmert asks the Attorney General how much time she spent reviewing the testimony of liar-Hillary Clinton. The AG falls back into the cocoon she created for herself, the position that she has decided not to talk about the deliberative process or the particulars of the case.

As she hits the play button on her repetitive dissertation as to why she won’t be providing any information, Rep Gohmert interrupts, makes note of the fact that she’s doing nothing but repeated a refusal to answer and tells her he doesn’t have enough time to listen to her repeat it four more times...

Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the group's efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President nObama's campaign - all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.

Moral Equivalence Has Become
a Moral Atrocity
by Caroline Glick
.
{truthrevolt.org} ~ We have reached the point where moral equivalence has become a moral atrocity.

The smart set in the West has insisted for over a generation that Israel and the Palestinians are morally equal. There are extremists, on both sides, they say. Both sides are responsible for the absence of peace.

The first serious outcry against this lie came immediately after the Palestinians began their terrorist war against Israel in September 2000. That war, incited, directed, funded, commanded and celebrated by Yassir Arafat and his henchmen, including his successor Mahmoud Abbas, began two months after Arafat overturned the table at Camp David in response to then prime minister Ehud Barak’s offer to withdraw from 95 percent of Judea and Samaria, all of Gaza and half of Jerusalem to enable the establishment of an independent state of Palestine in the areas.

The areas in question, Barak said, would be handed over to the PLO Jew free. The hundreds of thousands of Jews living in the areas set to become Palestine, would be forcefully evicted from their homes to ensure that the delicate, sensitive Palestinians, wouldn’t be troubled by the Jews with their “dirty feet,” in the words of Abbas.

That, of course, wasn’t enough for Arafat. And it was insufficient not because Barak failed to give him what he demanded. It was insufficient because his demands were insatiable. Arafat was never interested in peace.

As his deputy Faisal Husseini said at the time, the peace process was a “Trojan Horse.”

Its purpose was to get the PLO bases of operation inside of Israeli territory in order to expand its ability to destroy the Jewish state. This is the reason that despite the fact that the international community has given them more financial assistance than any other people in the history of humanity, the Palestinians have not built a society. They have received tens of billions of dollars in development aid and failed to develop an operating economy.

This failure isn’t due to incompetence or corruption.

It is simply that the Palestinians don’t want those things. They chose not to develop independent institutions.

They do not want to build a state. They have spent the money to transform Palestinian society into the most anti-Semitic society in the world where the vast majority of its people want to kill Jews and destroy Israel. They have transformed Palestinian society into a place where Jews have no right to live – not because of some sort of occupation, but because they are Jews, and Jews, they have been indoctrinated to believe, are an abomination.

Anyone with eyes in his head can see this. It has been obvious for 16 years.

The smart set’s failure to note reality back in September 2000 marked the beginning of its descent into moral oblivion.

Its first step down that road was when its members coined the pernicious term, “cycle of violence.”

“Cycle of violence,” means that there is no moral distinction between a murderer and a policeman, between a society geared toward annihilating its victim and its victim’s actions to prevent that from happening.

The latest consequence of this moral depravity came on Friday with the publication of the so-called Middle East Quartet’s much awaited report that is supposed to show us the way to peace. That report – like its predecessors insisted that a Jewish “settler” is the moral equivalence of a Palestinian murderer.

The day before the report was released, we saw – yet again – the evil empowering nature of that claim.

Thursday morning, a hate-drenched, demonic Palestinian murderer took a knife and stole into the town of Kiryat Arba – a “settlement.”

He broke into the Ariel family’s home. He walked into their children’s bedroom. He found 13 year old Hallel Yaffa asleep in her bed.

He stabbed her repeatedly. When there was no place left to stab her in her face and chest, he turned her over and continued stabbing her in the back.

The murderer set off the sensors in Kiryat Arba’s security fence when he traversed it. It took but three minutes for the community’s security team to get to the house. They shot and killed the Palestinian assailant and so prevented him from moving to the adjacent high school and transforming his slaughter into a massacre.

But Hallel was already gone.

The next day, the Mark family was driving along Highway 60. A Palestinian car carrying murderers drove up beside them and opened fire on Michael Mark, his wife Chavi and their children. Mark was murdered, his wife and daughter seriously hurt and his son was wounded as the car flipped over and over, after Mark lost control of the wheel.

On cue, the Palestinians began celebrating the murders and the murderers. The PLO governor of Hebron paid a condolence call at the home of Hallel’s killer.

The Palestinian media celebrated their crimes. And a new high quality animated film was released on Facebook directing viewers to murder MK Yehuda Glick. The film included driving directions to Otniel, and images of terrorists burrowing under the security fence to enter the community and avoid detection.

Amidst all of this, the Quartet released its report.

And although the report struck the tone of neutrality – both sides need to do this and both sides need to do that, the fact is that after 16 years of Palestinian atrocities against Israelis, the Quartet’s determination that they are the same is a moral atrocity.

The Quartet recommends that both sides “de-escalate tensions.” But of course, only the Palestinians are escalating tensions.

Both sides, the wise men tell us, “should take all necessary steps to prevent violence and protect the lives and property of all civilians.”

But only one side is fomenting violence and deliberately targeting civilians.

Both sides, the Quartet says, should “exercise restraint and refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric.”

But only one side is engaging in provocative actions and rhetoric, unless the Quartet says that Israel responding angrily to the slaughter of its children and families is acting provocatively – which of course is what they are implying here.

And it gets worse. The report includes an empty call for the Palestinians “to act decisively and take all steps within its capacity to cease incitement to violence and strengthen ongoing efforts to combat terrorism, including by clearly condemning all acts of terrorism.”

The Palestinians of course, will do no such thing.

Abbas is the engine of the incitement and the violence.

He always has been. And the fact that he’s been able to get away with this since taking over from Arafat 12 years ago shows that the moral miasma of the West has become a danger to world peace.

After pretending that the people who transformed Palestinian society into the hate-filled, murder applauding mob it has become are interested in doing the opposite, the Quartet turned its guns on Israel.

Israel needs to deny Jewish property rights. Israel needs to expand the powers of the Palestinian death cult into Area C – where all the Israeli communities are located and but two percent of the Palestinians live.

Israel needs to expand its security cooperation with Abbas’s US-trained militias that have been marinated in the same Jew hatred as the rest of the Palestinians, and have often propagated.

Sunday afternoon, hundreds of people stood silently outside the Ariel home in Kiryat Arba, waiting to enter the modest home to console the family. The landscape outside is pastoral.

The Ariels live off of their vineyard and the wine they produce.

Surrounded by the vines, and the hills, the Ariel’s homestead looks like the sort of place where nothing bad can happen. A quiet family of profound faith, the Ariels were just going about their quiet lives, raising their daughters, tending to their vines when the evil beyond their gate entered their home and struck.

That is the difference between the two sides. One wishes to tend his vineyard. The other wishes to destroy it.

It is black and white. It is a clear distinction.

The international community’s pernicious refusal to recognize this basic fact, after so many years, is a major reason that there is no peace, and there is so much bloodshed.

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
George Will: "The idea that essentially zero interest rates are, after seven and a half years, stimulating the economy 'strains credulity,' says James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. But last month he and other members of the Federal Reserve Board understandably felt constrained to vote unanimously to continue today’s rates for an economy that created just 38,000 new jobs in May, and grew just 0.8 percent in the first quarter, after just 1.4 percent in the previous quarter. The grim news is not that the economy continues to resist returning to normal. Rather, it is that this 'current equilibrium' (Bullard’s phrase) is the new normal. If 2 percent growth is, as he says, 'the most likely scenario' for the foreseeable future, the nation faces a second consecutive lost decade — one without a year of 3 percent growth. ... Bullard says ... it takes a while for technologies to 'diffuse through the economy.' And some of the diffusion — in leisure, in richer living experiences (social media; smartphones and their apps) are not captured in GDP statistics. Perhaps that helps to explain why nObama’s job approval has reached 52 percent at a moment when she who seeks to replace him concedes that the economy is so anemic that her husband will be assigned to 'revitalize' it."  -The Patriot Post

 Dallas Provides Presidential Contrast

There will be a memorial service today in Dallas for the five police officers slain in the line of duty last Thursday. George W. Bush will speak, which is appropriate given his status as not only former president but former governor of Texas. He also lives in Dallas. After the murders, Bush said, "Laura and I are heartbroken by the heinous acts of violence in our city." He commended the "dedication, professionalism, and courage of the Dallas Police Department," and offered prayers for the families of the dead and for the wounded. It was, as is characteristic of Bush, full of graciousness and respect.
          Barack nObama will also speak today, and that is far less welcome. His remarks both before and after the Dallas murders were full of bitterness and division, blaming police for systemic racism. On Sunday, he condemned those who attack officers ... for doing a "disservice to the cause" of reforming criminal justice. And if it wasn't racist cops, the problem was access to "powerful weapons." Both grievances merely echoed politically charged themes nObama's been harping on for his entire presidency.
          Naturally, his Leftmedia super PAC was already at work. The New York Times "reported" on nObama's speech preparation, fawning and lamenting on his behalf, "Mr. nObama approached the effort with the frustration of a man who has poured his heart and soul into similar speeches, only to later feel that nothing has changed and no one is listening." Perhaps that's because, for nObama, the concern is all about his political agenda, not for the officers or the real causes of such violence. As Fox News' Brit Hume so eloquently put it, "The president has consistently chosen to see things through the eyes of an aggrieved black activist rather than of a president of all the people."  -The Patriot Post

In Lowell, Massachusetts, a 13-year-old girl was twice groped at a public pool last week by a 22-year-old man freshly imported into the community from Syria as a “refugee.” The city manager of Lowell told his local newspaper Tuesday that he was not even notified by the U.S. State Department or its resettlement contractor that Syrians were being delivered to his community. This marks the second high-profile sexual assault on an American girl in the past month by a refugee. On June 2, a 5-year-old girl in Twin Falls, Idaho, was reportedly raped by an Iraqi refugee boy while an older refugee from Sudan filmed and coached him during the assault...

{aei.org} ~ Robert Doar and Kiki Bradley ground their approach to alleviating poverty from the holistic success of TANF... They believe its results should spur conservative reforms to bolster self-sufficiency, strengthen civil society, promote marriage, and encourage noncustodial parents to assume greater responsibility. Doar and Bradley advocate work requirements for means-tested programs. Such a stipulation can enable poor Americans to enter the labor force and ultimately move out of poverty. Next, few existing anti-poverty programs are held accountable to any measurable performance standard. This should not be the case; instead, means-tested programs must include definitive performances measures and a process for review and revision when outcomes fall short...  http://www.aei.org/publication/welfare-reform-to-promote-work-and-marriage/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=071316

{aei.org} ~ Boeing and Airbus are set to sell nearly 200 aircraft to Iran’s state airline, Iran Air, despite indicators that Tehran is already using the airline’s aircraft to support its efforts in Syria... Since June 2015, 31 airplanes belonging to Iran Air and the private airline Mahan Air have departed from airports in Iran and landed in Syria, according to public flight-tracking data from Flightrader24.com. Tehran appears to have developed an expansive network of repurposed commercial aircraft to supply its expanding war effort in Syria. This airlift to Syria is crucial for Iran’s operations in Syria and the rest of the Levant. Supply by sea is slow and vulnerable to interdiction by Western militaries. ISIS forces continue to control overland routes from Iraq into Assad-controlled Syria. Tehran would be unable to conduct this resupply effort without the use of commercial aircraft due to the Iranian Air Force’s limited airlift capabilities. In 2011 and 2012, the US Treasury Department applied pressure to this lifeline by sanctioning Iran Air, Mahan Air, and the cargo airline Yas Air for transporting military equipment to Syria on behalf of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). However, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) committed the US to remove sanctions on Iran Air, notwithstanding that US Treasury designations implicated the airline in flying cargo to Syria in support of the IRGC and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad...Didn't Congress stop this sale?  http://www.aei.org/publication/irans-airbridge-to-syria/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=071316

She simply would not give an answer. It's alright though. We already know the answer.

{wnd.com} ~  In an apparent move to preserve the reputation of former President George W. Bush regarding the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the decision to go to war against Iraq... the Republican platform committee on Tuesday voted down a plank introduced by Maine State Sen. Eric Brakey to call for the declassification of 28 pages that are believed to link the government of Saudi Arabia to the 9/11 hijackers. In drafting the platform plank, Brakey noted President nObama twice promised 9/11 family members he would release the pages, which could be invaluable in any lawsuit. However, the administration has refused to declassify the pages, even in the face of bipartisan support for their release that includes former 9/11 commission members and 73 current representatives and senators. “The public has a right to know,” Brakey said after the platform committee adjourned. “It saddens me that, here we are, 15 years later and it sounds like there’s key pieces of information to our understanding of what happened on that day, and the government has been keeping that information from us.”...

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ There is room for stating Israel's historic and legal rights to a Jewish homeland in a reasonable manner, but this does not seem to be making much progress in projecting Israel as a normal country with the same system and values of regular democratic countries... Indeed, it is these democratic countries that outrageous demonstrations based on lies and intimidation are being allowed to be perpetrated with increasingly hostile actions against Israel. The reason we are not making headway is because we have considered it impolite to be as rude and forceful in our arguments as our detractors are. We don't want to appear as aggressive as the intimidators that trash us 24/7. And so we lose the fight for the broad middle ground by conceding without a fight or, even worse, by adopting parts of our enemy's narrative just to appear reasonable.

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ While it's absorbed persecuting law-abiding conservative groups the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can't seem to stop crooks from scamming it to the tune of several billion dollars in one year alone via bogus tax refunds... It's the latest of many transgressions at the agency that's doubled as an nObama administration tool to crack down on political adversaries. A special IRS security feature called Taxpayer Protection Program (TPP) couldn't prevent criminals from scamming the agency out of an eye-popping $3.1 billion in one year, according to a federal audit. TPP was implemented to curb an epidemic of identity theft that allows criminals to fraudulently get tax refunds. Supposedly, identity theft fraud is reduced through a verification process but the federal probe, conducted by the investigative arm of Congress, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), found serious loopholes. "TPP uses single-factor authentication procedures that incorporate one of the following authentication elements: ‘something you know,' ‘something you have,' or ‘something you are,'" the GAO report states. "TPP's single-factor authentication procedures are at risk of exploitation because some fraudsters obtain the PII (personally identifiable information) necessary to pass the questions asked during authentication."...What do you mean they can't stop it?  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/irs-security-program-cant-stop-31-billion-scam?f=must_reads

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ This is an updated version of the article posted on this site in December 2014. Much has happened since and the spate of violence has begun just as I predicted... How did I know this? I have been inside this monster and I know him well. In the world of Marxist dialectical materialism, change is the product of a constant conflict between opposites, arising from the internal contradictions inherent in all events, ideas, and movements. Therefore, any significant change in a society, according to Marxism, must be accompanied by a period of upheaval. "Our task," wrote Lenin in 1902 in What Is to Be Done, "is to utilize every manifestation of discontent, and to collect and utilize every grain of rudimentary protest." Indeed, if you want to change a society, here is Lenin's script: cause the problem. Spread the misery. Send a cadre of professional community organizers to unite all of the angry and disinherited spirits to fuel an organized revolt. Entice chaos and violence. Exploit chaos for larger political objectives. Blame your political opponents, demonize and criminalize them. Move decisively to request a temporary suspension of civil liberties in exchange for the restoration of law and order. Usurp power before the deceived masses realize that there is nothing more permanent in politics than something temporary... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/from-lenin-to-obama-july-2016-update?f=must_reads

Today's Trends
by Tom MaLaughlin
.
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ My mother keeps track of her thirty grandchildren and her forty-six great-grandchildren. She knows all their names too — pretty remarkable for a woman in her nineties. She’s getting forgetful, but not about family. She had eight children of her own and I’m the fourth. Ours was a large family, but not unique. My best friend across the street was one of seven and so was my wife. We had only four children, which was considered a lot for my generation. Fewer Americans want to have any these days though. I’m seeing more people of childbearing age raising dogs and cats instead of babies and I’ve written about it several times including here and here. Why don’t Americans want to have children anymore? What is happening to us?

Our population is still growing but mostly because of immigration. The percent of Americans born somewhere else is approaching record levels. In Portland, Maine, one of six people was born in another country and most of those who are women are having children at much higher rates than native-born Americans. They, at least, have some hope for the future, which is one meaningful aspect of bearing children. Another is willingness to give of oneself.
.

Americans tend not to marry much anymore either from what I can see. For two months, I’ve been advertising an apartment above our garage, and while several couples have inquired, none have been married. Typically, a woman calls me to say she is interested. I ask if she’s alone and she says no, it would be for her and her boyfriend. That’s the norm these days. When I say I need first and last months’ rent, a security deposit, and a credit check, that all presents too high a bar for most to get over.

Pondering this, I saw a story on CBS News that two out of three Americans could not cover a $500 unexpected expense such as a car repair. I was shocked and realized that statistic bodes ill for our nation. There have always been people who live close to the edge and spend every dollar that comes their way as quickly as they can, but 66% of us live like that now? Even when we were a young family living below the federal poverty line, we kept that much on hand. That was back in the 1970s when $500 could buy about what $2500 buys now. It was hard to save up but we did so by eating a lot of soup and watching where every penny went. My wife and I agree those times were among the happiest of our lives. Most people we knew lived similarly, but  that way of life is not the norm anymore. What is happening to us?

Used to be that when people went broke, they would go to local churches to ask for money to pay the electric bill, the rent, buy heating oil, food, or whatever was the most pressing basic need. Doing so, they had to be accountable to the priest, minister, or rabbi about their spending habits, work habits, and/or lifestyle that might have gotten them into their predicament. If they went to someone in their family for a loan, the same accountability would usually apply. They’d have to explain how they got in the hole they were in and what they were doing to climb out of it.

Today it’s different. Today people go to government. In the 1960s when President Johnson declared his “War on Poverty,” the federal government began supporting people. There are forms to fill out but few inquiries about lifestyle. Either you qualify for government aid or you don’t. That aid increased steadily to the point where it now spans womb to tomb. It used to be that most had an incentive to save up for emergencies, but if they should save a given amount today it would disqualify them. In 2014, America reached the point where more than half of us received some form of government benefit. How far can “entitlements” expand? We’ll be $20 trillion in debt when President nObama leaves office -- double what it was when he was first inaugurated, and most has gone to pay for unsustainable social programs. That’s a whole year's GDP. Still we hear candidates promise to make college free and forgive another trillion in student debt with no explanation for how they’ll pay for it.

Americans are living beyond their means and so is the government upon which they depend. It’s not enough anymore to ask what is happening to us. We must ask what will happen if we continue on this path.

 nObama's Unilateral Disarmament 
vAmBy7l7U40k0ZBgEqk6qu5bnvVL42p-Y8TU0DVN23ONM2DnmUgfNHJr9HVYUPXrapJ3C_RVdTakL3u6lk-s2jFW8w_aHHHjhR72aGYXijnXDhrarmlN2ZTWbkgn7w=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Earlier this spring, Barack nObama hosted a nuclear summit to chase his dope-smoking college dream of a nuclear-free world. Well, he may not be done. Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin writes, "The nObama administration is determined to use its final six months in office to take a series of executive actions to advance the nuclear agenda the president has advocated since his college days." If Rogin is correct, nObama intends to use his phone and pen to further disarm the U.S. via executive action.
          One of the possibilities includes extending the deadline for the New START with Russia. But that is arguably the most benign. nObama also may seek to alter long-standing U.S. policy by declaring "no first use" for American nuclear weapons. Furthermore, in addition to blocking modernization of the U.S. arsenal, he may eliminate development of the Long-Range Stand-Off weapon — nuclear cruise missile — because, Rogin says, it's "a capability nObama doesn't believe the United States needs."
          While the commander in chief is busy seeking to weaken the U.S., he's greatly strengthened our geopolitical adversary, Iran. According to German intelligence, Iran has pursued "illegal proliferation-sensitive procurement activities," especially seeking to obtain "goods that can be used in the field of nuclear technology." In other words, the mullahs are after nuclear weapons in violation of its much-ballyhooed agreement with the West. But this is no surprise at all to readers of these pages — pretenses aside, nObama effectively gave Iran the green light with his horrible nuclear deal.
          It's also no surprise to see that the nObama administration's response to the German report is essentially, "Nothing to see here; move along." According to State Department spokesman John Kirby, "We have no information to indicate that Iran has procured any materials in violation of the [nuclear agreement]." You know, other than the German report.  -The Patriot Post

 The Left's War on Cops

Arnold Ahlert: The proverbial chickens of the American Left's obsession with divide-and-conquer politics, media-abetted false narratives, and the unrelenting vilification of police have come home to roost. Five police officers were killed, and seven others were injured in the commission of a hate crime by racist 25-year-old Army veteran Micah Xavier Johnson, who opened fire during a Dallas Black Lives Matter (BLM) protest. Johnson's home contained "bomb making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics," Dallas police officials stated. His now-deleted Facebook cover photo showed a black liberation flag and a black power fist.
          Despite those realities — and black Dallas Police Chief David Brown's statement that the cornered, and ultimately killed, sniper admitted he had trained for his mission, was angry about recent police shootings, and that he wanted "to kill white people, especially white police officers" — the Leftmedia scrupulously avoid using the terms "racist" or "hate crime."
          Likewise, Barack nObama was mystified: "I think it's very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter."
          The latest targeting of police has also occurred in Tennessee, Georgia, Missouri and San Antonio, Texas. BLM protesters took over the I-94 freeway in St. Paul, Minnesota, Saturday night and attacked police with concrete, rebar, rocks, bottles, fireworks and Molotov Cocktails, injuring several officers. These attacks are likely to increase, given the calls to violence and hate by many on the fringes of the BLM movement.
          Unsurprisingly, the nation's community organizer in chief wasted no time demagoguing the tragedy. Even as nObama offered praise for the heroism and sacrifice of America's police officers, he made sure to include remarks about the "racial disparity in the justice system" and idea that people armed with "powerful weapons" make attacks "more deadly and more tragic." nObama also used the shooting to push for federalizing police training and, just like the Orlando atrocity, attempted to dismiss the shooter's stated agenda: "The danger is that we somehow think the act of a troubled person speaks to some larger political statement across the country — it doesn't."
          No, the danger is a president with an odious worldview, one that makes him quick to weigh in on "stupid" Cambridge cops, a nonexistent son who would "look like Trayvon Martin," or the "racial disparities that appear across the system year after year," but leaves him conspicuously silent when 32-year-old Kate Steinle's life is snuffed out by an illegal alien. A president who invited BLM activists and racial arsonist Al Sharpton to the White House in February to discuss race, crime and policing. The despicable race-baiting and violence advocated by the Left gets a free pass — or even support — from a corrupt media.
          Yet it isn't largely middle class "bitter clingers" in flyover country fomenting anti-cop racialist/separatist anarchy. It's leftist elites promulgating the noxious ideas that America is a nation of "white privilege" and "endemic racism." It's a BLM movement chanting "pigs in a blanket fry 'em like bacon," even as one of their leaders insists looting is a legitimate form of protest. It is the entire metastatic progressive agenda, rotting from the ground up on violent streets and speech-suppressing college campuses, and the top down in the halls of the nObama Social Justice™ Department, where justice is no longer separated from political connections.
          Do millions of American really believe their relationship with law enforcement amounts to a devil's bargain? Or do they see a coordinated effort to demonize law enforcement with anecdotal incidents aimed at creating a broad-brush narrative wholly inconsistent with reality? Do many black communities view cops with mistrust? A 2015 study undertaken by the reliably leftist Washington Post revealed that police kill disproportionately more blacks than whites. Are many of those same communities virtual free-fire zones beset by crime rates that dwarf those of other communities? The same study revealed blacks commit a disproportionate number of crimes (eight times the number of homicides as whites and Hispanics combined) that explains the discrepancy.
          Can we expect police to be completely immune to the environment in which they work? "We should hold cops to a higher standard of accountability than the average citizen because they are given great power," writes Matthew Hennessey. "Yet, we can't forget that the police are people, too."
          Or can we? It is one thing for leftists to nurture a sense of hopelessness and victimization among black Americans that can be ameliorated only by remaining within Democrat-run urban poverty plantations. It quite another to harness that misguided loyalty and turn it into rage against a law enforcement community that is the only thing standing between Rule of Law and anarchy.
          America has long endured the consequences of a morally bankrupt progressive movement that embraces anarchy — and calls it social justice. A war on cops is more like it.  -The Patriot Post

{truthrevolt.org} ~ CBS News came on hand last week to mock all those stupid Christians with their stupid fables about magic men on crosses and floating zoos... Reporting on Kentucky's new Noah's Ark Experience – a Christian theme-park with a life-size replica of the biblical structure – CBS News just helped themselves to a few servings of Christian bashing by commenting on the structure's ignorance while question whether its tax-exempt status violates separation of church and state. For the record, I do not agree with the theme park's founder Ken Ham on any of his conclusions regarding a 6,000-year-old earth. That being said, a theme park depicting Noah's Ark and how it may have looked seems like a rather harmless display of a story beloved by Jews and Christians alike...   http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/cbs-mocks-ignorant-noahs-ark-attraction

{usni.org} ~ President Barack nObama’s recent decision to leave 8,400 U.S. forces in Afghanistan through next year and NATO’s announcement over the weekend to support the United States with another 3,000 troops... as well as $1 billion in financial support— means the effort to secure a lasting peace in Afghanistan will enter its 16th year with U.S. forces still operating on the ground and in the air above Afghanistan. Two U.S. administrations have now pursued an elusive peace in this region of the world at a staggering cost in blood and treasure. Despite nObama’s efforts to button up this war before the end of his watch, he has correctly concluded that to pull U.S. forces out now would likely ensure the demise of the fragile government in Kabul. More time may be exactly what is needed to defeat what has proved to be an intractable enemy. At this juncture many Americans may be wondering “How do you know when you’ve won the fight against these radical Islamic forces?” Before that important question can be answered a few fundamentals of strategy and history must first be considered because therein lie the answer...  https://news.usni.org/2016/07/11/opinion-winning-protracted-war-radical-islamic-terrorists?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=c5b2067525-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-c5b2067525-231491269&mc_cid=c5b2067525&mc_eid=3999f18767

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Surprise, surprise; one of the suspects arrested in connection with last week's terrorist attacks in Turkey spent time at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba... The U.S. released him to his native Russia along with six other detainees who subsequently became known as the "Russian Taliban,"  according to an alarming report published by a Washington D.C. think-tank that studies totalitarian societies of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. One of the members of the so-called Russian Taliban, Airat Vakhitov, is among 30 people arrested by Turkish authorities in connection with the attack at Istanbul's Ataturk airport that killed dozens and injured more than 100, a U.S. government-funded news service reports. Vakhitov spent two years at Gitmo after being captured by U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2001, the news report says, and he's one of 11 Russian citizens arrested in the last few days in connection with the Turkey attack, which was carried out by ISIS. "Russia's security services have accused Vakhitov of fighting in Syria and Iraq alongside terrorist groups, as well as recruiting foreign fighters for IS and other groups, and raising funds for terrorists," the news story says...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/turkey-terror-attack-suspect-freed-from-gitmo-part-of-russian-taliban?f=must_reads

{lidblog.com} ~ Good Ol’ Al Sharpton, he never misses an opportunity to race bait. Over the weekend the supposed “reverend” who doesn’t believe in the commandment about bearing false witness... criticized the National Rifle Association for not defending the gun rights of two black men killed by police last week. Sharpton claimed the NRA believes  “the Second Amendment is for whites only.” But today the NRA is fighting back against Sharpton’s idiotic and unsubstantiated charges. In his weekly address the self-important professional bigot gave at his Harlem headquarters, Sharpton as usual declared himself judge and jury declaring that punishing police officers for misconduct is the only way to prevent incidents like last week’s fatal encounters involving Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota. Apparently the leader of two anti-Semitic pogroms in NYC already knows what happened in those two cases, even though the investigations are not nearly close to being completed. “Both of them were killed by police based on ‘they had a gun,'” Sharpton said...  http://lidblog.com/nra-responds-to-al-sharptons-asinine-charge-they-only-care-about-white-gun-owners/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~  Islamization is gaining ground in the Muslim community of France. For a long time, this trend remained restricted to the cultural sphere and created strong controversies between Islamists and secular intellectuals... such as the ban on face-covering veils in schools and public places. But the debate stopped being a debate. Sometimes Islamic intolerance takes on the appearance of a civil war. The violence, which was mostly concentrated in the suburbs prior to the January 2015 terrorist attack on the satirical magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is spreading now to the heart of French cities. Murders, assaults, death threats and "slut-shaming" happens almost every day here and there. Muslim perpetrators rationalize their violence by convincing themselves that they live in a racist society that rejects them and their religion. And the government legitimizes them when it asks Parliament to vote for a law that favors "diversity" on public television channels. What is interesting is that judiciary system seems in disarray and does not know how to treat these types of conflicts: two jihadists back from Syria are condemned to a suspended sentence of six months in prison and a Muslim who slapped a female waiter because she served alcohol during the Ramadan was sentenced to eight months in prison...  http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8376/france-stabbing-policemen

It’s called the Homeland Safety and Security Act, H.R. 5611. Although Meadows is not a member of the Homeland Security Committee, he is involved in the process and does have the support of Committee Chairman McCaul. That’s what matters. After all, Sheila Jackson Lee is a member of the committee and as such demonstrates that committee membership is in no way an indicator of expertise, ability, intellect or sound judgment. Among the significant components to the bill will be an order to the State Department to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. If the State Department refuses to do so it must explain the reasons for their refusal in writing. “liar-Hillary needs the money” or “Because Huma” are not valid reasons...  http://rickwells.us/anti-terrorist-bill-rile-obama-Clinton/

China "does not accept or acknowledge" the tribunal or the ruling, China's state Xinhua news agency said. The nation has long maintained that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction over the dispute. The ruling is binding on both countries under a United Nations treaty that both have signed, but there is no policing agency or mechanism to enforce it. The ruling still constitutes a rebuke, carrying with it the force of the international community's opinion. It also gives heart to small countries in Asia that have helplessly chafed at China's expansionism, backed by its military and economic power...  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2016/07/12/tribunal-rules-theres-no-legal-basis-for-chinas-claims-in-south-china-sea.html

Never liar-Hillary

{townhall.com} ~ Thanks to the FBI’s press conference about liar-Hillary Clinton’s emails we now know with a good degree of certainty that in America the rule of law no longer matters. Last week we witnessed Democrats not just living above the law, but reveling in lawlessness -- just like pigs in slop.

You can’t make this stuff up. During a July 5 press conference, FBI Director James Comey acknowledged that liar-Hillary Clinton met every requirement for a felony violation under Section 793(f) of the federal penal code. Mr. Comey said liar-Hillary acted in gross negligence in the removal of or causing the removal of highly classified information, transmitting it to those not authorized to see it. Comey acknowledged liar-Hillary was also “extremely careless,” and likely allowed correspondence to be intercepted by foreign intelligence agencies. Even still, Mr. Comey said the FBI did not recommend prosecution because he claimed there was no “intent” to harm the United States.

“To be clear,” said FBI Director Comey, “this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding right now.” And who is surprised? Get used to it, peasants; laws are for us, not political elites.

Considering the punishment applied by the nObama administration to former CIA Director David Petraeus but not to IRS’s Lois Lerner or liar-Hillary Clinton -- the arc of Martin Luther King’s moral universe might be long -- but it obviously doesn’t bend toward justice if liberals are in control.

Enter: Donald J. Trump.

Before you spit out your coffee, please allow me to reconfirm that I still hold deep concerns about what a Trump presidency means. Please do not accept this as an all-out endorsement, and please understand that if Ted Cruz were still in the race, this part of the column would be moot. But, it is what it is, and we are where we are.

That said, the world is on fire and it seems the one country that can do anything about it, America, is on the brink of collapse unless something gives. For me, last week changed everything -- when I heard FBI Director Comey confirm that liar-Hillary Clinton indeed lied to the American people but he wouldn’t recommend that the DOJ prosecute. Later, nObama’s Department of Justice dropped the case.

Add to that, as I write, police across the country are being targeted for assassination. Numerous police were killed and injured while protecting a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas. NBC News reports the assassin told officers he was upset about recent police-involved shootings and “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

This is hard to say, but no less true. America has grown more racially divided the past eight years and liar-Hillary Clinton would only make things worse. Rather than standing against wrong and defending right, today’s Democrats coddle just about anyone who will vote for them.

And what about all the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil? Liberals bow at the altar of political correctness and it’s killing us. Thanks to the FBI investigation, we know how seriously liar-Hillary takes national security. The last thing we need is a president so preoccupied with all the scandals she creates she can’t address what matters.

With that said, I can definitively say I’d never vote for that woman. And Donald’s all we’ve got. This evangelical’s thankful he’s surrounded himself with good Christian leaders that’ll hopefully rub off on him. He promises to protect Christians from the oppression they’ve seen at the hands of this administration and court system leftists. Tough times call for tough measures. I sure hope I’ve been wrong about Trump.

It’ll be a joy if I have to eat some “humble pie.”

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Charles Krauthammer: "When Chief Justice John Roberts used a tortured, logic-defying argument to uphold nObamacare, he was subjected to similar accusations [as FBI Director James Comey] of bad faith. My view was that, as guardian of the Supreme Court's public standing, he thought the issue too momentous — and the implications for the country too large — to hinge on a decision of the court. Especially after Bush v. Gore, Roberts wanted to keep the court from overturning the political branches on so monumental a piece of social legislation. I would suggest that Comey's thinking, whether conscious or not, was similar: He did not want the FBI director to end up as the arbiter of the 2016 presidential election. If liar-Clinton were not a presumptive presidential nominee but simply a retired secretary of state, he might well have made a different recommendation. Prosecuting under current circumstances would have upended and redirected an already year-long presidential selection process. In my view, Comey didn't want to be remembered as the man who irreversibly altered the course of American political history. And with no guarantee that the prosecution would succeed, moreover. Imagine that scenario: You knock out of the race the most likely next president — and she ultimately gets acquitted! Imagine how Comey goes down in history under those circumstances. I admit I'm giving Comey the benefit of the doubt. But the best way I can reconcile his reputation for integrity with the grating illogic of his liar-Clinton decision is by presuming that he didn't want to make history. I don't endorse his decision. (Nor did I Roberts'.) But I think I understand it."  -The Patriot Post

 The liar-Hillary Double Standard 
mHOBYUvaBX6nbCKo7BeEtERl9hLSEig6wlR363Grc84vVMiIJNR3ttI8tCKiIzNx3jTlyf4iCySizxEh72-fXChhDFoYsVJ5gcMp5j4fn9Q12Hldk1qugz4FRlCfJg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
"No I was not," was liar-Hillary Clinton's response when pressed by CBS News' Scott Pelley regarding whether or not she was "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information while secretary of state. "I take classified material seriously and this investigation has proven that I had no intent to do anything wrong," liar-Clinton insisted earlier in the interview. It would be difficult to find anyone more adept at the art obfuscating reality and political spin than the liar-Clintons.
          The truth is liar-Hillary Clinton was "extremely careless" in handling classified information. As FBI director James Comey stated, "Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary liar-Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." Shockingly, after making that statement Comey did not recommend that charges be brought against liar-Clinton.
          In an attempt to prevent further liar-Clinton carelessness — and to seek at least some consequences — House Speaker Paul Ryan formally asked Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to bar liar-Clinton from receiving classified information during her presidential campaign. This is an unprecedented request in the modern era. Since the 1950s presidential candidates have been routinely briefed on intelligence matters. But this particular candidate is different. Ryan stated, "I think the DNI, Clapper, should deny liar-Hillary Clinton access to classified information during this campaign given how she so recklessly handled classified information."
          One email of classified information sent by a Marine seeking to protect other Marines will earn a discharge; hundreds of classified emails intentionally kept on a private non-government authorized or secured server because you are secretary of state and prefer the "convenience" … no problem. At least that's what liar-Hillary Clinton would have you believe, because, as always with the liar-Clintons, she believes the rules simply don't apply.  -The Patriot Post

As both parties gear up for their respective conventions later this month, the glaring and growing disconnect among Democrats, particularly on the economy, is impossible to mistake. On the GOP side, the focus clearly is on reducing onerous tax rates and cutting off the federal government's out-of-control spending. Republicans recently unveiled a tax overhaul that, at least in theory, would constrict tax filing to fit on a postcard. And for those who question the plan's viability, a new Tax Foundation study evokes high praise.
          According to the study, "[T]he plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to 9.1 percent higher GDP over the long term, 7.7 percent higher wages, and an additional 1.7 million full-time equivalent jobs." Additionally, "[T]he plan would lead to 0.7 percent higher after-tax income for all taxpayers and 5.3 percent higher after-tax income for the top 1 percent. When accounting for the increased GDP, after-tax incomes of all taxpayers would increase by at least 8.4 percent."
          Meanwhile, Democrats are getting ready to accept their most anti-capitalist platform to date. Among the changes is abolishing what the Democratic Platform Committee is calling the "starvation wage" and replacing it with a $15 minimum wage — one of the more popular talking points of Socialist Bernie Sanders. As NBC further explains, "The document goes further left than liar-Clinton's position on a number of issues, with Sanders policy director Warren Gunnells saying his campaign achieved 'at least 80 percent' of what it came for. 'I think if you read the platform right now, you will understand that the political revolution is alive and kicking,' he said." In other words, the Sanders Effect is in full swing.
          In a piece titled "Is Anemic Growth the New Normal?" columnist George Will writes, "America's economy has now slouched into the eighth year of a recovery that demonstrates how much we have defined recovery down." As much as Barack nObama touts himself for ostensibly saving the economy, the fact is, America is in the midst of a decade of sub-3% GDP growth. And Democrats not only want to continue nObama's failed policies, they want to expand them. The nObama recovery has been a colossal failure. To vote for more of it is to embrace servitude. The GOP offers a way out.  -The Patriot Post

Germany’s internal intelligence agency concluded in a recent report that sources have witnessed “extensive Iranian attempts” to procure illicit materials, “especially goods that can be used in the field of nuclear technology,” according to the report. The report appears to show that Iran is not upholding its most critical commitments under the nuclear deal. German Chancellor Angela Merkel made it clear this week that the intelligence shows “Iran continued unabated to develop its rocket program in conflict with the relevant provisions of the UN Security Council,” particularly one Security Council resolution that bars Iran from pursuing ballistic missile technology...nObama and his administration show they are stupid fools.

In between subtly demonizing law-enforcement officers as racists and touting the controversial Black Lives Matter movement, the two Democrat Party standard-bearers also seized on the Dallas police shootings to promote further infringements on the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. Critics, though, including among America's police forces, blasted the nObama administration and its allies for fueling a “war” on law enforcement. The establishment plan to federalize and militarize America's state and local police forces has been underway for decades. In recent years, though, the nObama administration has pushed the agenda further and faster than ever. Among other schemes, the White House has used “executive actions,” as well as bribe money provided by Congress and threats of lawsuits, to impose a wide range of unconstitutional federal “guidelines” and controls on law enforcement. Some critics referred to the schemes as “Common Core for police,” a reference to the administration's abuse of federal bribes to impose dumbed-down national “standards” on America's local school systems. The United Nations has even called on American police to obey what UN boss Ban Ki-moon called “international standards.”...  http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/23606-obama-and-hillary-exploit-murdered-cops-to-federalize-police

{investigativeproject.org} ~ Why has the West been so supportive of Palestinian nationalism, yet so reluctant to support the Kurds, the largest nation in the world without a state... The Kurds have been instrumental in fighting the Islamic State (ISIS); have generously accepted millions of refugees fleeing ISIS to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG); and embrace Western values such as gender equality, religious freedom, and human rights. They are also an ancient people with an ethnic and linguistic identity stretching back millennia and have faced decades of brutal oppression as a minority. Yet they cannot seem to get sufficient support from the West for their political aspirations. The Palestinians, by contrast, claimed a distinct national identity relatively recently, are less than one-third fewer in number in 2013, the global Palestinian population was estimated by the Palestinian Authority to reach 11.6 million, control land that is less than 1/15th the size of the KRG territory, and have not developed their civil society or economy with nearly as much success as the Kurds. Yet the United Nations, the European Union, the Arab League, and other international bodies have all but ignored Kurdish statehood dreams while regularly prioritizing Palestinian ambitions over countless other global crises...  http://www.investigativeproject.org/5500/the-case-for-kurdish-statehood

Leaked document says 2,000
'Middle East' men allegedly assaulted
1,200 German women on New Year's Eve
by Rick Noack

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ At first, there was complete silence from officials. As rumors spread on social media, police had nothing to say about allegations of mass sexual assaults and other crimes carried out on New Year's Eve in the German city of Cologne.

It was only days later that officials reported that hundreds of women were victims of assault in Cologne, Hamburg and other German cities.

But numbers that are now emerging are likely to shock a country still coming to terms with what happened in Cologne more than half a year ago. According to a leaked police document, published by Germany's Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper and broadcasters NDR and WDR, the previous estimates have to be dramatically revised - upward.

Authorities now think that on New Year's Eve, more than 1,200 women were sexually assaulted in various German cities, including more than 600 in Cologne and about 400 in Hamburg.

More than 2,000 men were allegedly involved, and 120 suspects - about half of them foreign nationals who had only recently arrived in Germany - have been identified.

Only four have been convicted, but more trials are underway.

On Thursday, a court in Cologne sentenced two men in the New Year's Eve assaults. Hussein A., a 21-year-old Iraqi, and Hassan T., a 26-year-old Algerian, were handed suspended one-year sentences. Both arrived in Germany in the past two years, a court spokesman said. He declined to specify whether the two had sought asylum.

Officials have linked the sexual assaults to the influx of refugees. "There is a connection between the emergence of this phenomenon and the rapid migration in 2015," Holger Munch, president of the German Federal Crime Police Office, told Sueddeutsche Zeitung. Many suspects had originally come to Germany from North African countries rather than Syria, officials said.

He also predicted that many of the New Year's Eve perpetrators will never be convicted. "We have to presume that many of those crimes will never be fully investigated." Germany has relatively low CCTV coverage, which makes it more difficult for investigators to identify suspects.

Although it is not expected that significantly more CCTV cameras will be installed in the foreseeable future, other measures have been taken. Germany's Parliament passed a stricter sexual-assault law last week that will make it easier for courts to sentence those who facilitate or are involved in assaults.

The new law will be based on the premise that "no means no," meaning that sexual assault can be punished as rape if the offender ignores the "discernible contrary will" of the victim.

Lawmakers were facing intense pressure to pass the new legislation, particularly in the wake of the Cologne assaults. Most of the perpetrators in that city stand accused of groping and facilitating sex assaults as part of a group - accusations that were difficult to prosecute.

The stricter law is also supposed to make it easier for refugees to be deported if they are convicted in sex-assault cases - an aspect of the new law that activists and advocates for refugees have harshly criticized.

Halina Wawzyniak, a lawmaker from the Left Party, told The Washington Post last week that immigration issues and sexual-assault cases should not be linked, as refugees could end up facing a "double punishment" by being deported. "The debate used to be about 'no means no' - now all that is being talked about in social networks are foreigners again," she said.

In today’s hearing, the Democrats' shameless effort to deliberately and wholly distract attention from Hillary’s felonious behavior with respect to emailgate and AG Lynch’s consistently stonewalling relevant emailgate queries were on full display. It was sickening..

The primary purpose of the Republican committee members’ questions to the AG was to determine whether or not there is a difference between “extreme carelessness” and “gross negligence”, and whether or not “intent” is necessary to prove that US Code Section 793 was violated.  Asked again and again what the legal distinction was, AG Lynch routinely deferred to Comey and her “team “ of career Justice Department attorneys. After all, she’s only the Attorney General. Why would she be expected to answer such a legal question?

Committee Democrats' deflecting attention from Hillary’s “extreme carelessness” by pretentiously asserting their caring about “more important” issues like the death of black victims in Louisiana and Minnesota as well as the assassination of five Dallas police officers was their painfully self-serving way of dodging the burning issue of Hillary's lawlessness and electability--the Rule of Law obviously of considerably less concern to them.

Once again, the ideological lines have been drawn, and there is zero interest on the part of the Democrats to uphold their oath of office and to honestly, objectively address Hillary’s lawlessness. 

Who suffers by this charade and gross irresponsibility: nothing less than the Rule of Law and the Constitution of the United States.  And without either, there can be no equal justice under the law, no Liberty, no republic, and, most certainly, no chance for restoring public trust in government.  

In short, we, once citizens of America but now subjects of Leviathan, have again been duped, dismissed and utterly ignored.  

Get this through your heads: this is no longer a constitutional republic; this is now very clearly a country where the rule of Man, not of Law, is preeminent.

Welcome to the Banana Republic of America—clearly NOT the country for which  I and my veteran friends fought and died, and certainly not the country for which those thousands of patriots who preceded us were maimed and died in her defense.

We must now look to our Founders for solace, yes, but also for their wise counsel and remedies. Those Founder-sanctioned and inherently rightful remedies are Civil Disobedience to express our unwillingness to submit to intolerable acts of government, State Nullification of unconstitutional federal acts in order to restore the State-Federal balance of power, Secession to defend constitutional order on at least the State level, or Rebellion in the face of tyranny. 

The choice before us couldn't be more stark: to restore our constitutional republic--while we are still able to do so--or to accept submission to Leviathan.

What will YOU choose?

"If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify." Alexander Hamilton

"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good" -- George Washington


The anti-Second Amendment Marxist, Barack Obama, relies upon attacks by terrorists or crazed lunatics to bring cries for bigger, more powerful government to protect us. It’s the same incessant cry always heard from tyrants; give up more freedom in exchange for a promise of security. Every leftist in the country follows Obama’s lead and shamefully exploits tragic events by madmen and terrorists. Consequently, to further their political agendas they do what they do best; attack lawful American gun owners and innocent people by grandstanding and self-aggrandizing.


They use manipulative hyperbole, and emotional rhetoric to push for legislation that has proven repeatedly not only ineffective, but fatally destructive. Like vultures, these zealots immediately circle every despicable shooting by an outlaw, insane person, or terrorist, and use the tragedy and suffering of others to gain an upper hand in implementing their anti-gun tyranny.


These organized attacks are not just on firearms; they are indeed, personal attacks on every American’s freedom who dares defend themselves, their families, and their homes.


It’s obvious to even the densest anti-gun fanatic, that criminals ignore ALL gun-control laws. Therefore, it’s evident that the quest for additional limits on guns remains focused on disarming law-abiding citizens. The facts are irrefutable; restrictive gun legislation disarms or makes criminals of lawful Americans. In other words, gun control only restrains law-abiding Americans! Control of the people is the ultimate aim of all big governments.


Criminals rely on tyrannical government to disarm the public, thus allowing thugs and gangs unrestricted domination of our streets, neighborhoods, and cities. U.S. cities with the strictest gun laws have the highest crime and murder rates. Witness the Democrat-controlled cities of Chicago, Washington, DC, Detroit, Baltimore, and on, and on.


Americans must face reality; it’s apparent that over the last several years, the New Socialist Democrat Party is a mortal enemy of gun owners and the Second Amendment. It’s equally clear that further legislation amounts to placing a bull’s eye on the backs of innocent Americans gathered in gun-free zones, as well as those cowering in fear in their undefended homes.


None of the proposed laws by the fanatical left will reduce gun violence or murder rates in this country. However, under one plan, purchasing or selling a gun from a neighbor, friend, or relative, we would pay for a background check and hope for approval and blessing from the federal government. These extended background checks are another back door, roundabout attempt at registration that allows the government to know who owns guns, what type they are, and where to find them.


Not a word emanates from the mouths of Obama, or any Marxist about the real causes of crime and murder rates in this country. Most violence comes directly from inaction and misguided programs by federal, state, and local governments.


The free exercise of American rights under the Second Amendment does not cause violence.


Here are just a few of the shortcomings, incompetence, and corrupt bureaucracies of government that do result in lawless, senseless mayhem and murder:


• Failure of the liberal courts and the justice system in general to PUNISH criminals
• Failure to build more jails and prisons
• Early release and catch-and-release of criminals; including violent felons, and illegal aliens
• Plea-bargaining and reductions of sentences
• Left-wing lawmakers, state and federal, who consistently and shamefully twist, manipulate, and distort, every societal issue to bestow the victimhood label on criminals, not on real victims; innocent citizens
• Failure to address illegal aliens pouring over our border with drugs, guns, and human cargo
• Overcrowding of prisons, then release of illegals and felons to reduce the overflow
• A corrupt government-controlled educational system that, especially in the inner cities, fails to give young people even a rudimentary education and then dumps them on the streets without sufficient skills to compete in the world
• Gun-free zones that leave unarmed groups of people at the mercy of thugs or armed terrorists


For decades, few talked about long guns of any kind, rather the national discussion was on handguns. Then came the ban on scores of long guns, and Bush let the ban expire because evidence revealed the nation was no safer and there was no increase in mass killings after ten years. To leftists, firearms represent everything that’s evil. The unvarnished truth is that they believe the very existence of the Second Amendment is malevolent.


Concealed permits are under constant attack. By declaring gun-free zones and limiting where one can legally carry a weapon, tyrants hope to make it so restrictive as to make concealed permits worthless. With one such limit, only the most naïve, ignorant, and convoluted of liberal minds could imagine and implement a system of declaring schools as “gun-free zones” to prevent shootings.


Some notable quotes from Obama, the anti self-defense President, should tell everyone where the leftist-in-chief stands:


• “I am consistently on record and will continue on record as opposing concealed carry.”
• “I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities.”
• “It’s a scandal that Bush didn’t renew the ‘assault weapon' ban.”
• “If you need 19 rounds to shoot a deer, you probably shouldn’t be hunting.”


Here are some notable votes by Obama:


• Voted to uphold civil actions and lawsuits against gun manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and importers of guns and ammunition.
• Voted to ban hundreds of common rifles and shotguns.
• Voted to uphold local gun bans in Illinois.
• Voted to uphold prosecution of people using guns in self-defense.


Obama and his Marxist cult know they cannot ban all gun rights at once any more than a boa can instantly kill and devour its prey. They do it slowly, one contraction at a time. It’s one more reason they must destroy our Constitution.


Little-by-little, one step at a time, Obama, and his ilk formulate their “reasonable rules.” Dictates which are, in reality, slow narrowing and constriction designed to squeeze the life from our Second Amendment and devour our guns.


Knowing what Obama said publicly, what’s in his writings, and knowing the history of the anti-gun radicals, does anyone believe them when they say, “Nobody is coming after your guns?” Disarming America is not a solution or answer for violence; rather it is one of the principal determining factors for the violence raging through the streets of this country. An unarmed nation is a nation on its knees, and that is exactly where the leftist tyrants want Americans.


The free exercise of American rights under the Second Amendment does not cause or exacerbate violence; It provides the same protection from evil-doers and dictatorial government envisioned by our Founders!


For one to see the tragic results of liberal politics and gun control that disarms lawful people, one needs to look at cities and states controlled by the New Democrat Socialist Party. Here, despots ban guns outright or restrict them as to make their right to own guns and defend themselves, a cruel joke. These areas throughout the country are microcosms of what liberals want for the rest of the country.


When liberal-progressive government is in control of peoples’ lives, they must keep citizens, disarmed, poor, uneducated, indoctrinated, and dependent. Take a stand against our government, the media, and the entertainment industry. Under no circumstances, allow them to cast their tyrannical, liberal, spell over this great land. Your personal safety is in YOUR hands; trust it to no one else!

 Fireworks in June's Jobs Report 
UkNz9wY9NvO8cQXXNnjPlf1L1wpV60fizXp5xFbpaMMpIbxzF3fmhPvj_wfE2GGUfA0VIywsVH1iIbtryPXw6gEzKy3oXUCXdjwp238BS2eshVa6eSXnpg7dGiqzaQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
After a harrowing week, we could use some welcome news. Thankfully, Friday dawned with an encouraging development on the economic front. But first, recall that May's jobs report was abysmal. The government originally reported the economy posted a measly 38,000 jobs, representing an exceedingly low quota. However, newly modified figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) are even worse. Just 11,000 jobs were created in May. Fortunately, that was somewhat negated by the fact April came in at 144,000, or 21,000 more than originally reported. Better, but both months were lacking nevertheless.
          June was far more respectable. This morning BLS reported the addition of 287,000 jobs last month. That both dwarfed April and May and defied expectations. Just 170,000-175,000 jobs were anticipated. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate rose to 4.9%, a few tenths higher than May's 4.7%. That's not necessarily bad, however, because labor participation also increased. As American Enterprise Institute's James Pethokoukis tweeted, "If labor force participation rate had held steady, jobless rate would have been 4.7%. So higher 4.9% rate for good reason: larger workforce."
          The question remains: What the heck happened in May? Moreover, as CNBC notes, "Over the last three months, job gains have averaged about 147,000 per month." We should note too that, as with every jobs report, the true unemployment figure is higher than 4.9% when everything is taken into account. All that being said, June's jobs report was positive, and it's good to see at least something going in the right direction this week. Let's hope it lasts.  -The Patriot Post

 Keeping liar-Clinton on the Ropes 
GVfRQ4tuuq-Y4Fnk9qD7WxiA8sfaVsy9Xg5fvO_ZTROC9FwmSib-uYgwYFmTR6m6GpIHOiTbdTIIBBo7HWAHpuLLBBkQ1U4mcAdCdMktHJM0yG8AT1G9QQxHmpUiyw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Michael Swartz: Most Americans who've followed the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton and her private email server fall into one of two camps. The first — those who believe the system is rigged and that she engaged in criminal acts but got away with them simply because her last name is liar-Clinton. And the second — those who feel liar-Hillary was the victim of yet another partisan witch-hunt that ended up being much ado about nothing, and that she's being harassed simply because she's a woman intent on breaking the highest "glass ceiling" of all.
          Undoubtedly congressional Republicans fall into the former group, so it was no surprise once the news broke that no criminal charges would be brought against liar-Clinton that their first act would be to haul FBI Director James Comey in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to ask him for an explanation. Comey essentially argued that the applicable law — a 1917 statute based on "gross negligence" in mishandling classified information — wasn't actually applicable.
          "No reasonable prosecutor would bring the second case in 100 years focused on gross negligence," testified Comey, a former U.S. attorney. "That's just the way it is. I know the Department of Justice, [so] I know no reasonable prosecutor would bring this case." The case against liar-Clinton, Comey added, did not meet the "mens rea" legal standard of criminal intent.
          Yet one has to ask: What, then, was liar-Hillary's intent? Perhaps it wasn't necessarily criminal intent, but there certainly was a lot of shady dealing going on between the liar-Clinton Foundation, foreign leaders and others in the private loop with liar-Hillary at the center. Even aside from the likelihood of hackers accessing the classified information on her private server, the reality that the liar-Clintons used the secretary of state's office to peddle influence and thereby enrich themselves is outrageous. The personal email setup likely helped her cover-up Benghazi, too.
          Instead, the whole affair is chalked up to "carelessness." As Comey pointed out: "I see evidence of great carelessness, but I do not see evidence that is sufficient to establish that Secretary liar-Clinton or those with whom she was corresponding both talked about classified information on email and knew when they were doing it that it was against the law." While Comey claims no "reasonable" prosecutor would bring charges, it's also true that one can indict a ham sandwich. Indeed, frivolous and politically motivated charges have often come from an overzealous prosecutor and a stacked grand jury bent on political mischief. (Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy picks apart this defense from Comey by comparing it to a similar type of case where criminal negligence is often determined.)
          Or, taken the other way, how many who are accused of similar acts will now be using the "liar-Hillary defense" to imply that they were only careless and had no criminal intent? One certainly could have lumped David Petraeus into that group had he been investigated post/liar-Hillary.
          It's more difficult to sit there with a straight face and assure Americans that the system isn't rigged, as Comey did, when two high-profile cases turn out so differently — to the benefit of the political party in power, no less. And when the top law-enforcement official in the country agrees to a secret meeting with the suspect's former-president husband, Comey's insistence that he "did not coordinate ... with anyone" rings hollow.
          No one in "the White House, the Department of Justice, or anyone outside the FBI family had any idea what I was about to say," added Comey. "I say that under oath, I stand by that. There was no coordination." We call bovine excrement on that: After all, why would Barack nObama be campaigning with liar-Hillary on the very day she was cleared if he didn't know the fix was in? (Does anyone think a sitting president would share a stage with a politician who'd just been indicted?)
          Comey didn't need to have a phone conversation with Attorney General Loretta Lynch or nObama or anyone else to know that liar-Clinton was to be let off the hook. For one thing, nObama's been tipping the scales of justice since last spring, claiming during a "60 Minutes" interview that liar-Clinton's malfeasance didn't pose "a national security problem." The FBI director is appointed by the president, and serves at the pleasure of the president. Comey knew the score.
          There may be a second chance to give liar-Hillary her due, though. In his opening remarks for the House hearing, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), who chairs the Oversight Committee, asked Comey if the FBI investigation probed into liar-Clinton's congressional testimony and whether she lied under oath. When it was learned Comey had not and was waiting on a referral from Congress to do so, Chaffetz assured Comey he will get one. While the case could be a slam dunk on the factual side, the problem may be in proving intent there as well. Republicans don't have a great record against liar-Clinton perjury.
          It will also be perceived, thanks to the mainstream media, as another partisan effort to smear liar-Hillary, who may get away with this one too because we're certain her already-shaky memory will repeatedly fail her in this case. "I don't recall" may be the catchphrase of this campaign, perhaps even supplanting "what difference, at this point, does it make?"
          One telling exchange in that regard happened when Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), a former prosecutor and the leader of the Select Committee on Benghazi, confronted Comey with numerous false statements made by liar-Clinton before Congress. Gowdy then asked Comey, "In interest of time ... I'm not going to go through any more of the false statements. But I am going to ask you put on your old hat [as a prosecutor]. False exculpatory statements, they are used for what?"
          "Either for the substantive prosecution or for evidence of intent in a criminal prosecution," Comey answered. "Exactly," Gowdy said. "Consciousness of guilt and intent." Case closed?
          Our nation has stomached the liar-Clintons for about a quarter-century now. "liar-Clinton fatigue" may have set in long ago, but the reason they stay in the news is that they just can't seem to live outside the spotlight or within the law. It's a sad state of affairs that she could be our next president in part because of a rigged investigation that purportedly hinged on what a "reasonable" prosecutor would do.
          Message to Director Comey: We have long since departed from reason in this country. Your job was to restore the sanity of Rule of Law.   -The Patriot Post

But this election year is different, because we already know the answer to that question. We know, unequivocally, that liar-Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president. liar-Clinton, to escape scrutiny of her actions as secretary of state, set up a private email server that put highly classified information at risk.

{wnd.com} ~ A House panel grilled FBI Director James Comey on his decision not to recommend criminal charges against liar-Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state... but the congressmen never truly got to the bottom of liar-Clinton’s email scandal, according to the author of an explosive new book on the liar-Clintons.  New York Times bestselling author Jerome Corsi says the key question is this: Why did Secretary Clinton feel it was necessary to have her own private email server, off-line from the State Department’s secure email server? The answer, he says, is provided in his new book, “Partners in Crime: The liar-Clintons’ Scheme to Monetize the White House for Personal Profit.” “The crime partnership of Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton had the perfect set-up with Bill heading the liar-Clinton Foundation and liar-Hillary appointed secretary of state,” said Corsi...  http://www.wnd.com/2016/07/why-hillary-needed-a-private-email-server/#!

{patriotupdate.com} ~ On the left you have a weak and catered approach to being P.C., in which you do not have the right to offend anyone at all... On the right, however, the approach is completely about the safety of the American citizen. And not  emotional safety either. Safety safety. In an op-ed piece in the NY Post, Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn puts the issue into stark perspective. “Two years ago, I was called into a meeting with the undersecretary of defense for intelligence and the director of national intelligence, and after some ‘niceties,’ I was told by the USDI that I was being let go from DIA. It was definitely an uncomfortable moment I suspect more for them than me. “I knew then it had more to do with the stand I took on radical Islamism and the expansion of al Qaeda and its associated movements. I felt the intel system was way too politicized, especially in the Defense Department. After being fired, I left the meeting thinking, ‘Here we are in the middle of a war, I had a significant amount of combat experience (nearly five years) against this determined enemy on the battlefield and served at senior levels, and here it was, the bureaucracy was letting me go.’ Amazing...  http://patriotupdate.com/political-correctness-hits-military-hard/

Texas Governor Greg Abbot Severely Burned

by Caleb Howe

{redstate.com} ~ Texas Governor Greg Abbot suffered "extensive second- and third-degree burns" on Thursday while on vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with his family... He is likely to miss the Republican convention as a result.  The Governor was treated for "several hours" at St. John's Medical Center, reports the Associated Press. The news did not break until Sunday night. Because the Governor wanted to be there in a leadership role for his state during the terrible crisis and aftermath in Dallas. The governor's communications team had been working on a statement detailing the burning Thursday, but abandoned it in the aftermath of the mass shooting, Hirsh said. Instead, Abbott released statements about the attack late Thursday night and early Friday morning, as well as an open letter to Texans, urging unity in the face of tragedy... http://www.redstate.com/absentee/2016/07/10/prayers-texas-governor-greg-abbot-severely-burned-accident/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~  In a quarter century in law enforcement, I never encountered anyone more confident, or with more reason to be confident, than Jim Comey. The former Bush Justice Department deputy attorney general turned nObama Justice Department director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation... has earned bipartisan plaudits for a reason: He is as able as it gets. The nation got to see that this week: first, in his tour de force press conference both damning and clearing liar-Hillary Clinton; then, just 48 hours later, in his deft jousting with a Republican-led House committee rankled by his decision to give a pass to the Democrats' putative presidential nominee. So well did Director Comey perform that you barely noticed his rationale withering away. In arguing that Mrs. liar-Clinton should not face felony charges of grossly negligent mishandling of classified information, the director illustrated that Mrs. liar-Clinton is overwhelmingly guilty of grossly negligent mishandling of classified information. It made me wonder how many dozens - scores? hundreds? - of defendants Comey, in his 15 stellar years as a federal prosecutor, had convicted on a bare fraction of the proof he outlined against the former secretary of state. Comey piled fact upon fact showing intentional misconduct - the setting up of a non-government, non-secure e-mail server system for the conduct of official business, in violation of guidelines liar-Clinton was obliged not only to follow but to enforce; the transmission of classified information including some of the government's most closely guarded intelligence secrets - information liar-Clinton had to know was classified at the time it was sent, some of which was even marked classified notwithstanding her serial denials of that tell-tale fact; the herculean effort to destroy any trace of thousands of government files, notwithstanding over a year's worth of vows that no government-related information had been included in the 32,000 e-mails she attempted to delete rather than surrender to the State Department...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-fatal-flaws-in-comeys-theory-of-why-clinton-shouldnt-be-prosecuted?f=must_reads

This cooperation, according to Palestinian Authority security sources, is the main reason behind the ongoing tensions between the Egyptian authorities and Hamas. These tensions have prompted the Egyptians to keep the Rafah border crossing mostly closed since 2013, trapping tens of thousands of Palestinians inside the Gaza Strip. In 2015, the Egyptians opened the Rafah terminal for a total of twenty-one days to allow humanitarian cases and those holding foreign nationalities to leave or enter the Gaza Strip...  http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8431/isis-gaza-sinai

Iovi Et Bovi: The Teflon liar-Hillary Standard
by Michelle Malkin

{townhall.com| ~ There is a classic Latin epigram about double standards that resounds in the aftermath of the FBI's surrender this week to the corruptocracy:

"Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi."

Translation: "What is permissible for Jove is not permissible for an ox."

Jove is the Roman god Jupiter, untouchable ruler of the skies, wielder of the lightning bolt. The ox is a servile beast, sacrificial animal for elites in power, bearer of the heavy yoke.

FBI Director James Comey told us Monday what many of us have already known and long suspected: liar-Hillary Clinton serially lied about her homeland security-jeopardizing homebrew email server, and the nObama administration is letting her get away with it.

After Comey hammered the final nail in the classified-information coffin, the enabler in chief promptly whisked liar-Clinton out of D.C. on his taxpayer-subsidized winged chariot for a joint campaign event in North Carolina and plopped her in front of a lectern carrying the presidential seal -- where she stood and hurled her invective against GOP presidential rival Donald Trump, whom she called "unqualified and temperamentally unfit" to occupy the White House.

Unqualified pot, meet unfit kettle.

This is the smug sociopath who led a treacherous State Department team that lied to the public about the deadly Benghazi, Libya, terror attacks, who lied and continues to lie about her liar-Clinton Foundation favor-trading money machine, and who lied repeatedly about compromising U.S. secrets.

liar-Clinton's campaign audaciously calls the systemic circumvention of transparency and security a "mistake" -- like when Grandma butt-dials you accidentally or your toddler tweets out his "Fruit Ninja" high score on your work phone.

But this is what a bona fide mistake looks like: "Oops."

A one-off. A slip-up. A goof.

And this is what serial subversion of the law looks like:

"Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops. Oops."

That's 110 oopsy-daisies -- the same number of liar-Hillary "I Did Not Email Any Classified Material To Anyone On My Email" liar-Clinton's emails the FBI tallied that contained classified information, ranging from "confidential" the lowest level to "secret" to "top secret," at the time they were sent or received on her unsecured personal servers. The same wide-open servers the FBI told us Monday were possibly hacked by "hostile actors."

Speaking of hostile actors: Last week, as liar-Clinton's slimy husband was yukking it up with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in advance of the Teflon prima donna's absolution, the nObama Pentagon announced that nine Navy officers had been punished after the humiliating "capture" of American sailors in Iranian waters in January.

One commodore was relieved for cause; the others face disciplinary measures that could effectively end their careers. Extreme carelessness and gross negligence, to borrow the euphemisms du jour, led to a ridiculous chain of events culminating in lost sailors giving up sensitive ship data, laptop passwords, cellphone access and even their military IDs to armed Iranian forces.

For demonstrating "poor leadership and judgment," failing to maintain "proper communication with higher authority" and failing to show "appreciation of the threat environment," the Navy screw-ups may well and should lose their jobs.

For her shoddy leadership and dangerous lack of judgment, along with her utter indifference to the threat environment her evasive actions pose to America, liar-Hillary Clinton has the backing of Barack nObama to take his place at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

One standard for Jove, another for the ox. So it was in the fallen civilization of ancient Rome. So it is in corrupted America in 2016.

Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on the
FBI's Investigation of Secretary liar-Clinton
by Sen. Ted Cruz
~~~
.
 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Veronique de Rugy: "Some centrist scholars have called for partial privatization under which a government Postal Service would continue delivering to all homes but that mail collection and transportation and other parts of the industry would be opened to private competition. But numerous European countries — including Britain, Germany and the Netherlands — have fully privatized their systems and opened them to competition. The dominant postal companies in those countries continue to deliver to every address. Full privatization works. One bad idea that 'reform' Postal Service supporters are pushing is to allow the government service to compete with private firms in other industries, such as banking. That would be hugely unfair to taxpaying private businesses, and do we really believe that such a bureaucratic agency as the U.S. Postal Service could out-compete private businesses in other areas if there were a level playing field? Both liberal and conservative economists think that monopolies are bad because they're inefficient and harmful to consumers. The government enforces antitrust laws to prevent monopolies in other industries. So why does the government itself enforce a giant mail monopoly? It's time to put an end to this gift to special interests, privatize our postal industry and open it to competition."  -The Patriot Post

 nObama and the Cop Killers

The horrific news from Dallas this morning is that five police officers were murdered at a "Black Lives Matter" protest. As we go to press, the only officer to be identified is Brent Thompson of Dallas Area Rapid Transit, who had just married another officer two weeks ago. Seven more officers were wounded, as were several other people. The protesters were gathered to object to two fatal police encounters this week, in which black men were killed. With Dallas police serving as crowd control, four suspects opened fire on them, at least two reportedly from "ambush-style" sniper positions. One suspect was killed after a standoff, and three others have been detained. Dallas Police Chief David Brown said one assailant told authorities "he was upset about the recent police shootings" and "wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."
          While in Warsaw for a NATO summit, Barack nObama weighed in, offering condolences, praising police and Black Lives Matter protesters. He then pivoted to — what else — gun control, saying, "When people are armed with powerful weapons, unfortunately it makes attacks like these more deadly and more tragic and we're going to have to consider those realities as well."
          If bad guys killing cops is a "gun problem," why is police shooting too many people racism? Regarding nObama's predictable political pivot shifting blame to "powerful weapons," the most powerful weapon is his political rhetoric, dividing instead of uniting America on every issue.
          Indeed, in his remarks about Dallas, nObama echoed his "racial disparity in the justice system" diatribe from just hours earlier, when nObama called police shootings earlier in the week "symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal justice system." He rattled off some horrible-sounding statistics to prove his point.
          Only then did he offer faint praise. "Now let me just say that we have extraordinary appreciation and respect for the vast majority of police officers who put their line on the lives every day."
          And as soon as he'd said that, he reiterated that he put together a "task force" to look into racist policing practices. He slammed jurisdictions that had not yet adopted its recommendations.
          That was the stage he set when it came time to express condolences after Dallas. We're sure police would welcome his support if it was authentic. But nObama, liar-Hillary Clinton and their fellow NeoComs perpetuate the urban poverty plantations where 95% of our nation's violence occurs, then paint all cops as "racist" after there are deadly confrontations with the Demos' gang-banger constituency. In turn, that results in the murder of law enforcement officers. And by the way, we're waiting on nObama's order to lower flags to half-mast.
          A final thought and the bottom line: The people responsible for these murders are the murderers themselves.  -The Patriot Post

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ "So essentially there is a sense that, yes, there is a new more assertive, maybe even more aggressive Russia, but that fundamentally Russia is a state in decline... We have conversations in NATO headquarters about states in decline and arrive at two fundamental models: states in rapid decline which typically lead to chaos and breakdown, and states in gradual decline. Then we ask ourselves: Which of these two tracks would we rather have our nearest, most militarily capable neighbor, with thousands of nuclear weapons, move along? To many, trying to manage Russia's decline seems more attractive than a failed state of that size and magnitude right on the border of NATO. " So says Douglas Lute, Washington's permanent representative to NATO. Speaking in April at the Aspen Security Forum Global in London, Lute explained why the West adopted clearly inadequate measures to stop Russia after its seizure of Crimea and portions of Donbass. As the thoughtful diplomat explains, "it may not make sense to push further now and maybe even—and maybe accelerate or destabilize that decline." If we do not act because Russia is weak, then how do we explain the West's China policies? China, in the estimation of almost all policymakers and analysts, is not on the way down. On the contrary, they believe it is ascendant...  http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8410/russia-china-aggression

Dallas Police Chief David Brown
.
{washingtonpost.com} ~ As I pointed out in today’s morning links, one particularly unfortunate aspect of the murder of five Dallas police officers Thursday night is that the city’s police department is a national model for community policing... Chief David Brown, who took office in 2010, has implemented a host of policies to improve the department’s relationship with the people it serves, often sticking out his own neck and reputation in the process. At risk of stating the obvious, no sane person would argue that these murders would have been okay if they had occurred in a city with a less community-oriented police department. Nor am I suggesting that the killer or killers represent any legitimate faction of the police reform or racial justice movements. But because Dallas is grieving right now, and the rest of us with it, it’s worth pointing out that in its police department, the city has much for which to be proud. Here are some of the areas where Brown and his administration have made changes: ...  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2016/07/08/what-dallas-pd-does-right-and-why-doing-those-things-could-now-be-more-difficult/

{answeringmuslims.com} ~ It is often claimed by Muslim polemicists that the doctrine of the hypostatic union (i.e. Christ being fully God and man) is a logical contradiction. It is, we are told, like positing a square circle or a married bachelor... After all, how can the infinite God enter into a finite body? The argument seems to crop up in nearly every conversation with a Muslim. It is for this reason that Christians need to be prepared and equipped to defuse it. The objection is misguided on several levels, and I hope to here provide some explanation as to why.
What Does It Mean For God to be Infinite?
When a Muslim raises this question, the Christian should return it with another question: "Why can't an infinite God be united with the finite?" Think about the assumptions that are lying behind the question: The question assumes that God is infinite in terms of size, mass, etc therefore it is impossible to take an infinite amount of something and put it in a finite object. When one says that God is infinite, one is referring to a metaphysical reality, not a physical one -- i.e. to an immaterial, incorporeal, non-spatial understanding of the infinite. In any case, the infinite does not exist in the material universe as a concrete object. God's essence may therefore be described as qualitatively infinite. Why, then, can't an incorporeal, immaterial, non-spatial Being unite to his Person a physical body? Indeed, even in the Old Testament Scriptures we find that the fullness of the divine essence was to be found in the Holy of Holies, in the Ark of the Covenant, and in the Angel of the Lord figure...

{redstate.com} ~ Even after the damning findings announced by F.B.I. Director Comey during his July 5, 2015 press conference, and Comey's equally damaging testimony before the House oversight committee, liar-Hillary Clinton continues to lie about her emails... In a series of interviews Friday afternoon, liar-Hillary pushed back against The F.B.I. director's finding that liar-Hillary and her colleagues were "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information." liar-Hillary had the temerity to tell ABC News’ David Muir that she still stands by her statements. She said that even though most of her statements disproved disproved by the F.B.I. In her CNN interview, liar-Hillary floated an obviously very carefully crafted new email story to take the place of all those previously shown to be prevarications. She told Wolf Blitzer:...She is one sick person and should never be president of the USA.  http://www.redstate.com/california_yankee/2016/07/09/hillary-still-lying-emails-denies-careless-blames-others/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Contrary to NBC’s Awful
Article, Rep. Cummings Got His
ASSessment Handed to Him...
by Caleb Howe
.
{redstate.com} ~ This article from NBC News could not be a more steaming pile of biased, mischaracterized, choreographed, deliberate misdirection about today's congressional hearing unless it were literally written, directed, filmed, and produced by Michael Moore... And for all we know, it will be. Specifically, this total glossing over of Rep. Cummings' appearance. Oh how utterly heroic. Oh what utter crap. In reality, like all of the other Dem phonies that acted dishonestly today, Rep. Cummings was te one who got "slapped", and easily, after trying to create the impression that there is nothing to see here. The assessment of the facts he tried to sneak through was promptly shoved his face by Rep. John Duncan...  http://www.redstate.com/absentee/2016/07/07/contrary-nbcs-awful-article-rep.-cummings-got-assessment-handed-comey-hearing-video/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

The Arabs' Historic Mistakes

In May 1948, Azzam Pasha
.
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~  In the current state of the relationship between the Arab world and Israel, we see a patchwork of hostility, tense peace, limited cooperation, calm, and violence... We Arabs managed our relationship with Israel atrociously, but the worst of all is the ongoing situation of the Palestinians.
The Original Mistake
Our first mistake lasted centuries, and occurred well before Israel's declaration of independence in May 1948. It consisted of not recognizing Jews as equals. As documented by a leading American scholar of Jewish history in the Muslim world, Mark R. Cohen, during that era, "Jews shared with other non-Muslims the status of dhimmis [non-Muslims who have to pay protection money and follow separate debasing laws to be tolerated in Muslim-controlled areas] ... New houses of worship were not to be built and old ones could not be repaired. They were to act humbly in the presence of Muslims. In their liturgical practice they had to honor the preeminence of Islam. They were further required to differentiate themselves from Muslims by their clothing and by eschewing symbols of honor. Other restrictions excluded them from positions of authority in Muslim government"...

Judge Jeanine – nObama’s Race Baiting,
Dallas And Elsewhere, Tired Lies

{rickwells.us} ~ Judge Jeanine starts off her open with the idea that “Americans got over the racial divide by electing a black ‘president’, not only once but twice. Americans overwhelmingly voted for the man, blind to his color... His color made no difference to American voters, long past the issue of race, voters long past the civil war, long past the civil rights era; focused more on the content of the character than the color of the skin.” She’s entitled to her opinion and it’s her show, but there is a line of thinking that indicates that the colorblindness she speaks of was not there, that many voted for him particularly because of the color of his skin. His complete absence of any character in his content reinforces that argument. She continues, “But this week’s shooting of twelve police officers and two civilians in Dallas is a reflection of a new, deep division created by that very man. The shooting in Dallas was not just about racism. Make no mistake, that dirt bag shooter, who will remain nameless in this open, was a racist. An African-American, he wanted to kill only white people, especially white officers.” “And the shooting in Dallas wasn’t just about police brutality,” says Judge Jeanine. “I got news for you, folks. Police brutality is color blind. It crosses all racial and ethnic lines, I know, I’ve prosecuted them. And it wasn’t just about someone mentally ill. I’ve always found that stigma too easy an excuse for evil. And it wasn’t about guns either.”...  http://rickwells.us/jeanine-obamas-race-baiting-dallas/

Black Power – nObama Covers For BLM,
Black Panthers, Dallas Shooter

{rickwells.us} ~ nObama’s web is getting a little tangled up, sometimes distorted anti-logic just doesn’t work and there too many lies in the mix for him to sort out why... In Poland, speaking at the conclusion of the NATO summit, nObama said the motives of the Dallas cop-murderer were “very hard to untangle,” calling him “demented.” It’s actually not that difficult to untangle, with one thing nObama didn’t call him shining a spotlight on his motivations. He didn’t call him “New Black Panther Party member,” although it has been confirmed by the Houston chapter of that anti-white racist hate organization that he was one of theirs. Surely if we know it he knows it. nObama and former Attorney General Eric Holder have previously embraced that hate group and chosen not to prosecute them for voter intimidation and turning Republican election monitors away in Philadelphia in 2008 and 2012. They share a common hatred of white people so it’s to be expected nObama would conveniently overlook that fact as well as statements indicating his hatred of white people, white cops and wanting them dead when trying to ascertain his motivations. He might need help at the polls this year and he wouldn’t want to alienate his “A” Team. nObama attempted to defend his racist agitator allies in Black Lives Matter from guilt by association with yet another murder of police by stating, “I think the danger is that we somehow suggest that the act of a troubled individual speaks to some larger political statement across the country. It doesn’t.”...  http://rickwells.us/black-power-obama-blm-panthers-dallas/

Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on the
FBI's Investigation of Secretary liar-Clinton
by Sen. Ted Cruz
.
{cruz.senate.gov} ~ U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts, today issued the following statement in response to FBI Director James Comey’s recommendation that the Department of Justice not pursue criminal charges against former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton, despite her gross mishandling of classified information on private servers:

"While I have tremendous respect for the dedicated men and women of the FBI, I have serious concerns about the integrity of Director Comey’s decision, and how it threatens the rule of law.

"Director Comey has rewritten a clearly worded federal criminal statute. In so doing, he has come dangerously close to saying that grossly negligent handling of classified information should not result in serious consequences for high-level officials. In a nation where the rule of law is supposed to matter, this is troubling.

"Yesterday, Americans celebrated the 240th birthday of our Republic. We honored not only those who fought and died to defend our way of life, but the constitutional Republic for which they sacrificed. If we are to remain a beacon of hope and freedom for the rest of the world, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that we remain a nation of laws, and that our laws apply equally and fairly to us all. Under President nObama, we have seen the most politicized Department of Justice in history; I very much hope that politicization has not similarly corrupted the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I join my Senate Judiciary colleagues, including Chairman Grassley, in calling for public transparency of, and full access to, all the information that the FBI used to come to today’s dubious decision."

Blame Black Lives Matter Movement for Dallas Carnage

 

Dallas police chief David Brown said all we need to know about the inspiration and motives of the thug who assassinated five Dallas cops. As NBC News reported:

Brown said the suspect, who he would not identify, told a hostage negotiator that he was upset about the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent police shootings of black men elsewhere in the U.S.

The Dallas shootings are the logical extension of the demonization of police officers by the racial grievance industry spearheaded by the Black Lives Matter movement, a demonization that began almost as soon as President Obama took office. ...
