New Government Report Shines a Light on the Global Warming Scam and the “Green Mafia” Running it

October 12, 2014 By Greg Campbell

http://www.tpnn.com/2014/10/12/new-government-report-shines-a-light-on-the-global-warming-scam-and-the-green-mafia-running-it/

The “science” behind the study of global warming has been irreparably tainted. While objective scientific method demands that one formulate an experiment to discover a result, the politically-charged moneymen who profit from “green” industries have created an atmosphere that necessitates the exact opposite: “science” surrounding the study of global warming is now geared towards bolstering a predetermined result that global warming is not only real, but that it is manmade.

That’s not to say that there cannot be some environmental consciousness. For example, China may be a powerhouse of industry, but they are depleting their resources at a feverish pace. Recycling and other sustainable efforts are not necessarily a bad idea simply because these efforts are pushed by the same people who push the “global warming/global cooling/climate change” myth.

In 2006, global warming alarmist Al Gore declared that “the debate it over” surrounding “climate change.” Instead, the issue is far less certain than ever before.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California has only recently released a whopping ten-year study that throws a wrench in the “the sky is falling” reactions of the environmental movement. Despite all the talk about carbon dioxide levels and the folly of man’s industrial hubris, the oceans have not warmed on any measurable level in the last 10 years.

The October 6^th report begins:

The cold waters of Earth’s deep ocean have not warmed measurably since 2005, according to a new NASA study, leaving unsolved the mystery of why global warming appears to have slowed in recent years…

Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, analyzed satellite and direct ocean temperature data from 2005 to 2013 and found the ocean abyss below 1.24 miles (1,995 meters) has not warmed measurably. Study coauthor Josh Willis of JPL said these findings do not throw suspicion on climate change itself.

“The sea level is still rising,” Willis noted. “We’re just trying to understand the nitty-gritty details.”

Of course, the very nature of this phrasing suggests a political bias. No other scientific community would be content with publishing a report that begins with, “All evidence points to global warming not existing… But don’t worry, we’re still scratching our heads trying to figure out how to prove that this deadly specter of the science world still exists, despite our objective evidence to the contrary.”

The IJReview sums up the theme nicely, writing,

If one might recall, scientists who claim that carbon dioxide drives global warming are unable to explain a 17-year hiatus in rising global temperatures, all while carbon dioxide levels continue to rise. Obviously, if carbon dioxide drives global temperatures, this is literally impossible: No correlation, no causation…

The problem that they are trying to solve is why global temperatures have not risen, despite the UN’s models predicting that such temperatures would increase proportionately to carbon dioxide levels.

We should be mindful about our waste and what we’re doing to the planet and not be gratuitously savage to the Earth. However, this stride for sustainability should derive from a commonsense desire to want to avoid living in a landfill. The “green mafia,” however, remains a far bigger threat to our civilization than any fictitious global warming because unlike global warming, the job-killing regulations pushed by the environmental opportunists are quite real.

US pledges $212M to Palestinians, Kerry says

Associated Press Published October 12, 2014

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/10/12/us-pledges-212m-to-palestinians-kerry-says/?intcmp=latestnews

CAIRO – The United States is promising $212 million in immediate assistance to the Palestinians as part of an international effort to rebuild the Gaza Strip after this summer’s 50-day war.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says people in Gaza “need our help desperately — not tomorrow, not next week, but they need it now.”

He announced the new money at a donor conference for the Palestinians in Cairo.

The Palestinians are seeking $4 billion in international aid.

Will U.S. Troops Be Protected From Ebola During Deployment to West Africa?

Katie Pavlich | Oct 13, 2014

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2014/10/13/will-us-troops-be-protected-from-ebola-during-deployment-to-west-africa-n1904359

Three weeks ago President Obama announced he would be sending thousands of U.S. troops and military personnel to West African countries in an effort to combat Ebola.

The White House said Obama will travel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta — where US Ebola victims were treated — to make the announcement, meant to spur a global effort to tackle the outbreak that has already killed 2,400 people.

It comes as alarm grows that the worst-ever Ebola epidemic which spread through Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea before reaching Nigeria, is out of control. A separate strain of the disease has appeared in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Most of the US effort, which will draw heavily on its military medical corps, will be concentrated in impoverished Liberia — the worst hit nation — with plans to build 17 Ebola treatment centres with 100 beds in each.

But as troops get their boots on the ground in countries devastated by the disease, many are asking how the health of U.S. soldiers will be protected. Last week we learned military personnel will be handling Ebola infected blood samples and now some experts say it’s inevitable some troops will contract the deadly disease.

ABC News medical expert Richard Besser told This Week Sunday morning that there was a “very real” possibility one of the 3,000 U.S. troops being sent to west Africa to help fight the ebola outbreak could contract the virus.

The Pentagon insists troops deployed to combat Ebola will be safe.

“Let me assure you, by providing predeployment training, adhering to strict medical protocols while deployed, and carrying out carefully planned reintegration measures based on risk and exposure, I am confident that we can ensure our service members’ safety and the safety of their families and the American people,” Commander of U.S. Africa Command Gen. David Rodriguez said last week. “We will do everything in our power to address and mitigate the potential risk to our service members, civilian employees, contractors, and their families.”

Time will tell.

Meanwhile in the United States, new screenings for temperatures have been implemented at some international airports and over the weekend it was confirmed a nurse treating Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who died last week, caught the disease despite being in full protective gear.

Whistleblower: Obama blocking voter roll cleanup

Posted By Greg Corombos On 10/12/2014

URL to article: http://www.wnd.com/2014/10/whistleblower-obama-blocking-voter-roll-cleanup/

Vote With critical midterm elections less than four weeks away, the failure to scrutinize voter registrations and clean up voter rolls leaves our system vulnerable to voter fraud, and a Justice Department whistleblower says the Obama administration is actively trying to stop states from bringing records up to date and ensure only eligible voters are casting ballots.

J. Christian Adams further asserts that voter fraud does occur and is indirectly responsible for the passage of Obamacare.

Adams is author of “Crimes Against the Republic: How the Democratic Party’s Voter Fraud is Fundamentally Transforming America.” He left the Justice Department early in the Obama administration and has regularly spoken out about what he considers to be partisan actions by Attorney General Eric Holder on voting and other civil rights issues.

Two flash points he frequently mentions are the DOJ’s decision not to prosecute the New Black Panther Party on voter intimidation charges in 2008 and the battle between Holder and several states over requiring photo identification to be presented before being allowed to vote.

However, Adams said there’s a much bigger problem than either of those matters.

“We have millions of people on the voter rolls who are not eligible to vote, millions of people who are not actually valid registrations,” Adams said. “Absolutely nothing is being done about that from the government’s perspective. Only private organizations have done anything about it. Eric Holder, of course, is the attorney general who could do something about it but does not.”

According to Adams, there are all sorts of people influencing our elections who have no business casting a ballot.

“There are dead people. There are foreigners. There are non-citizens. There are people who are duplicate registrations. They registered in more than one state. Sometimes they even vote in more than one state,” said Adams, noting the case of Wendy Rosen, who ran for Congress in Maryland and voted in her own primary there and in Florida.

So why aren’t the rolls cleaned up? Adams said in many jurisdictions, there’s literally no scrutiny of voter registration forms.

“They just get put on the rolls,” he said. “They aren’t verified. When states like Florida tried to do the citizenship verification, or states like Georgia, all these groups, including Eric Holder sprung up to sue them to try to stop them from checking to see if they were really citizens. So the states that do try to check for verification frequently find themselves on the bad end of a lawsuit.”

Adams added, “This is something the Justice Department seems perfectly comfortable with. The status quo is something the department is totally comfortable with. Why that is is not something I have an answer to.”

While Adams said Democrats are especially resistant to cleaning up the voting rolls, Republicans bear their share of guilt as well.

“Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller actually defended this,” he said. “He was sued by Judicial Watch and True the Vote for having dirty voter rolls. The state was sued and he put up a vigorous defense and fought back. So in many places, Republicans are part of the problem.”

Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with J. Christian Adams:

What cannot be quantified, however, is just how widespread the problem is and how many fraudulent votes are cast.

“We don’t know how prevalent it is, but we know it does happen. That’s the big point,” Adams said. “Do people cast ballots, who are not entitled to cast ballots? The answer to that question is unequivocally yes. The answer to that problem is to get the voting rolls cleaned up.”

But Adams stresses that a small number of fraudulent votes can make a big difference in key elections and is indirectly responsible for President Obama’s biggest legislative achievement.

“Al Franken (D-Minn.) is in the United States Senate because of voter fraud,” he explained. “He won that contest by 312 votes, but there were 1,099 illegal votes cast by felons. Every single felon who was contacted by the Minnesota media said that he voted for Al Franken.”

He noted, “So we have a senator in the U.S. Senate because of voter fraud, and guess what? That senator was the 60th vote for Obamacare. So we actually have Obamacare because of voter fraud,” he said.

Adams would also like to scrap Election Day registration. He believes it provides a massive opportunity for fraud and was a critical factor in Franken’s capturing of a Senate seat.

“That’s how Al Franken won the election, because all of these felons showed up to vote,” he said. “They registered to vote but they weren’t eligible to. So Election Day registration makes it hard to police the validity of who’s casting ballots.”

Democrats may be leading the charge against update voting rolls, but Adams had a surprising answer when asked about the how much this effort is coordinated among Democrats.

“Not at all. It doesn’t need to be coordinated,” he said. “This is not some sort of centralized, coordinated effort. This is just simply laziness, atrophy and refusal to do your job.”

Adams said many things need to happen to bolster the integrity of U.S. elections, but competent state election officials are a critical first step.

“Awareness is the first step, knowing where the problems are, having elected officials like Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (and) Brian Kemp in Georgia and Tom Schedler in Louisiana,” he said. “Having secretaries of state who know what the problem is and being willing to fix it are Step 1.”

Christians May Be Unwittingly Hastening America’s Transformation

Susan Calloway Knowles — October 11, 2014

It’s a bold statement to make that Christians may be unwittingly hastening America’s transformation but it needs to be said.

Most Christians would be shocked to think that they had anything to do with negatively impacting the country that they love so much and have, in many cases, even fought to protect.

However, it needs to be discussed because America as we know it is being changed beyond recognition on a daily basis.

As state primaries occur and as the 2016 elections draw near, it is high time that Christians recognize their invaluable potential in changing the course of our country.

For far too long now, many Christians have chosen to stay home instead of getting out to vote in national, state, and local elections. The reasons vary for their apathy, but commonly there are two factors which keep Christians home.

Either Christians believe that there is no one worth electing because the candidate does not hold their same Biblical beliefs or Christians wonder if they, pursuant to Biblical principles, should even vote at all.

While I am not a Biblical scholar, I know one thing for certain and that is the Bible is not filled with a lot of indifference or the absence of actions taken by Christians.

David didn’t slay Goliath by staying home. Joshua didn’t bring down the walls of Jericho by refusing to obey God’s direction to join in the battle.

Certainly, Christ didn’t raise Lazarus from the dead by choosing not to travel to Bethany. Christ was anything but apathetic. He stood for truth and continued to speak out until the day He was crucified. He was and is a model for Christians to follow.

Christians have many modern day battles that call for them to respond. Every day in the news there are stories about Planned Parenthood and their continuing efforts to abort unborn children. Christians can effectuate positive change in this area by opposing congressional, presidential, or even state and local candidates who are in favor of abortion.

By not voting, Christians are tacitly showing their approval or at least not voicing their opposition to this highly controversial issue.

Additionally, problems involving the education of Christian children are at the core of Biblical principles and need the support of Christians everywhere. Issues regarding how children are raised and the principles they are taught are at the forefront of importance to most parents or guardians. Only parents or guardians should determine what is ultimately appropriate for their children to learn or eat in school, not the government. Parents or guardians need to attend local school board meetings, extracurricular school activities, and other important school meetings concerning their children to ensure that moral principles are being taught. Christians standing up and speaking out in local school districts is a reminder to government that parents, not government, are ultimately in charge of their children’s education.

Parents may also have to consider changing school districts, enrolling their child into charter schools, searching for faith-based programs, or looking at the benefits of homeschooling in order to remain in control. Recently, it was discovered, that while spending less toward each child’s education, charter schools, produce far better educational results than do traditional public schools. Charter schools, typically do not get extensive funding that traditional public schools receive from the federal government. What charter schools do receive, however, appears to be used more efficiently. In addition, because charter schools are not heavily funded by the government, they appear far more receptive to parent decision-making in their programs.

You may recall earlier this year, that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, moved to prevent three charter schools from using public space. His actions caused some charter schools to close. His unilateral decision, took the issue out of the hands of parents and placed it solely in the hands of government. De Blasio only began to backtrack on his decision when those who had helped him get elected, began to voice their displeasure because their children attended the very charter schools he closed. Had proponents not raised concerns, de Blasio’s plan to rid New York City of charter schools may have succeeded, leaving parents with one less excellent choice.

To paraphrase, Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, according to Matthew 5:13-14. Remaining complacent, when it comes to the important issues in this country that impact our children and our constitutional rights, surely is not what God envisioned for Christians when He said those words.

Freedom of choice allows all of us to continue to shape this country and this world. This does not mean taking away the rights of others in the process. What it does mean, however, and what history has shown us is that we are obligated to be preservers of the truth and freedom until the very end.

Christians may hold the key to stopping or at least slowing the transformation of this country into an unrecognizable nation. Taking no action guarantees that we will continue to see our constitutional rights eroded and our right to speak out as Christians eventually suppressed.

Choose this election season to make a difference for yourself, your children, and others! Get out and vote

VIDEO: Army Veteran Throws Epic First Pitch in the Most Creative Way Imaginable

October 10, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

Even after the incredible 18 inning playoff game on Saturday between the San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals, many people found themselves talking not about the game, or perhaps not exclusively about the game. Rather, the talk around the nation was the ceremonial first pitch which in this game was thrown by Army veteran Brian Keaton.

Keaton was wounded in Iraq by a bomb explosion. He spent a grueling 3 ½ years at Walter Reed National Medical Center where he was treated and recovered from traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Drawing upon his Army experience, and to the great surprise and delightment of the crowd, Keaton threw out the first pitch as if the baseball was a hand grenade. The crowd loved it and both the crowd and players celebrated this true American hero.

VIDEO: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Just Gave Obama Some Advice; You Will Not Believe Your Ears

October 9, 2014 By Matthew Burke

One of the biggest race card abusers is MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, whose debating skills are so lacking that the only way he can seemingly win an argument is to call anyone of an opposing view a “racist,” either through insinuation, or blatant bluntness.

His all racism, all the time, program Hardball, is nothing more than an Obama Propaganda front, with the pasty white Matthews carrying the race card and inserting it in places where it should never be used, all while cheering on his “Dear Leader” like a gushing and overly excited high school cheerleader.

For example, in August, Matthews praised Obama’s threat to use his “pen and phone” to unconstitutionally issue amnesty to thousands of illegal aliens, saying the illegal act would be “like the Emancipation Proclamation.”

Therefore, when you watch the advice that Matthews just gave to Obama, your jaw will drop in amazement. Matthews actually said that Obama should stop “pandering to the Hispanic vote and liberals.”

“Beheading is planned” threat against Rhode Island schoolchildren

Written by Allen West on October 10, 2014

http://allenbwest.com/2014/10/beheading-planned-threat-rhode-island-schoolchildren/

Yesterday we shared the video about the Harvard University students who believe America is a greater global threat than ISIS. As you know, Harvard is located in Massachusetts. Maybe those mindless lemmings should read about what just happened south of them in Rhode Island. Let me try to give them a hint — ever heard of Beslan, Russia? Of course those empty vessels of progressive socialist indoctrination haven’t. It would be far too much to ask of them to have a clue about the real global threat, Islamo-fascism and jihadism. So here’s a little taste.

The Washington Free Beacon reports that, “Police in Rhode Island said they received a letter that contains threats to behead children in the state. The letter specifically threatens elementary school students, according to WPRO. Col. Steven McCartney tells WPRO-AM the threat specified that “beheading is planned.” He called the nature of the threat targeting children in Warwick, Cranston, and Johnston “chilling.”

“There was a specific mention of elementary schools in this letter, the other thing which was the specific type of threat, which was beheading, is planned,” McCartney told WPRO.”

Of course, I suppose these Harvard students have already forgotten about the Chechen Tsarnaev brothers’ heinous attack in Boston last year – and have no idea it was Chechen Muslims who carried out the attack against the school children in Beslan.

You see, this is the depraved nature of the enemy, which we just continue to dismiss as we witness the cultural jihadist apologists find it easier to blame America — or even Christians — rather than place the spotlight where it belongs.

We reported here how the former Imam of the Oklahoma City mosque where beheader Alton Nolen attended is now at the Boston Islamic center (which the Tsarnaev boys attended). Trend analysis – that’s all I am presenting — and we must take the threats seriously before another incident of “workplace violence” or worse, “schoolyard violence” occurs.

The Beacon says “the threat was sent anonymously through the mail, but police are taking it very seriously. Some parents have decided to keep their children out of school due to the threat as well. Police are trying to reassure those parents of their children’s safety. “The intent of the Warwick Police Department is to allow the education of the students to continue safely,” McCartney told WPRO. Cranston Supt. Judith Lundsten says recess will be canceled and students will not wait outside but will enter immediately.”

Our precious American children are suffering from a mysterious respiratory illness that magically appeared after the Obama administration allowed countless illegal alien children to be dispersed and enrolled in our schools without any medical screening. And now we have an anonymous threat against their safety in a most brutal manner — and intent. While Obama has a problem defining his strategic objective in combating Islamo-fascism, the jihadists and terrorists know exactly what their strategic objective is — to terrorize our country by inspiring “lone wolf” jihadist attacks.

You see, the problem we have in America is these cultural jihadist apologists like far left progressive socialist nutcase Eric Michael Dyson who presents an unfathomable case of relativism. He says Islam is ancient and honorable and we ignore the Christian terrorism all around us. Just watch this little video exchange between Dyson and his guest James Peterson who makes sure to top Dyson’s stupidity by saying that Christians are just as homophobic as Muslims in the Middle East.

It’s right up there with ol’ Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation who believes Christians professing their faith and witnessing in the military are guilty of sedition and should be court-martialed. Where in God’s name do they find these people? Harvard, I guess.

Wonder why we’re losing against ISIS? Because we can’t even admit they are indeed an enemy, an Islamic terrorist organization. We refuse to see the violent nature of Islam – it’s just a man-caused disaster and workplace violence. Everyone rushes to defend Islam, why?

But worse, why do the far left progressive socialists find it easier to join forces with the Islamo-fascists and attack Christians? When ISIS gave Iraqi Christians their time-honored tradition of choice — convert, be subjugated, or be killed — no one on the left stood up and vehemently condemned this action. What they did was try to dismiss and apologize, or declare this wasn’t part of Islam, just something ISIS came up with.

Well, hate to burst your bubble, but beheadings were commanded by Mohammed, with the first massive beheadings at the Battle of the Trenches circa 628 AD against the Banu Quaraya tribe. And it was his letter to Byzantine Emperor Heraclius soon thereafter when he offered the three choices to the Christian kingdom. Folks, you can find this in the Hadiths — the traditions of Mohammed — and he is deemed the “perfect man” by Muslims, that is, practicing Muslims.

Stop the damned apologizing and attacking Christians in some warped relativist argument to make yourself comfortable — the enemy is within the gates.

Fort Hood shooter sends letter to Pope Francis espousing ‘jihad’

By Catherine Herridge

FoxNews.com / Published October 10, 2014

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/10/09/fort-hood-shooter-sends-letter-to-pope-francis-espousing-jihad/%20?intcmp=latestnews

FILE: Undated: Fort Hood shooting suspect Nidal Hasan. (AP)

EXCLUSIVE: Convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan has written to Pope Francis espousing “jihad,” in his latest correspondence aligning himself with radical Islam.

Despite efforts by the Defense Department to label the 2009 massacre as “workplace violence,” Hasan has described himself several times, and again in the new letter, using the acronym “SoA,” or “Soldier of Allah.”

Hasan directed his attorney John Galligan to mail the undated, six-page, hand-written letter to the pope. A copy of the letter – titled, “A Warning To Pope Francis, Members Of The Vatican, And Other Religious Leaders Around the World” – was provided by the attorney to Fox News.

Hasan appears to make multiple references to the Koran in the letter, and includes a bulleted list of guidelines for “believers.”

In one subsection titled “Jihad,” Hasan praises “The willingness to fight for All-Mighty Allah,” describing it as a test that elevates the “mujahadeen” who “are encouraged to inspire the believers.” He states that “fighters … have a greater rank in the eyes of Allah than believers who don’t fight.”

There is no reference in the letter to the Fort Hood massacre for which Hasan was convicted on 13 counts of premeditated murder, and 31 counts of attempted murder, but no terrorism charges. Hasan currently is on death row at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.

In late August — as part of ongoing reporting on homegrown terrorism, “Fox Files: The Enemy Within,” which included a special investigation into Fort Hood — Fox News obtained a separate Hasan letter where he pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) and its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Asked to comment on the latest letter, Hasan’s attorney said it “underscores how much of his life, actions and mental thought process are driven by religious zeal. And it also reinforces my belief that the military judge committed reversible error by prohibiting Major Hasan from both testifying and arguing how his religious beliefs” motivated his actions during the shooting.

Neal Sher, an attorney representing the Fort Hood families and their relatives, also said Hasan is “thoroughly dedicated to jihad.” The lawsuit against the Defense Department and Justice Department now involves 150 individuals.

“His jihadist leanings and willingness to commit jihad were known for years before the 2009 atrocity,” Sher said. “And ever since then, he has made it abundantly clear he believes in jihad and has attempted to justify the slaughter that took place at Fort Hood.”

During the trial, Sher said Hasan attempted to testify and offer a “defense-of-others plea, in other words, he killed Americans at Fort Hood in defense of his brothers, al Qaeda and now ISIS. Yet again, it demonstrates he wasn’t shying away from [the shooting], he was proud of it.”

Sher likened the approach to “putting [the administration’s] head in the sand. They do not want to acknowledge a terrorist attack took place on their watch on American soil. And layered over that is a good dose of political correctness.”

Fox News has a standing request to interview Hasan.

North Korea’s Kim Jong-un misses key celebration, but sources say coup rumors are false

Published October 10, 2014

FoxNews.com

The mysterious disappearance of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un from public view for the last 35 days fueled wide speculation that he was ill or the victim of a possible coup, but a senior U.S. intelligence official calls the rumors false, and a Reuters source insists he’s “in total control.”

After weeks of unexplained absences, chatter on Kim’s whereabouts reached a fever pitch after he was conspicuously not on a list of dignitaries at an anniversary celebration of the founding of the ruling Workers’ Party Friday.

An official state media dispatch listed senior government, military and party officials who paid their respects at the event marking the party’s 69th anniversary, but not Kim. It said a flower basket with Kim’s name on it was placed before statues of his father and grandfather, both of whom also ruled North Korea.

In the past two years, Kim marked the anniversary with a visit to the Pyongyang mausoleum where his father and grandfather’s bodies are interred.

Kim also missed a meeting of the country’s parliament late last month, leaving many to wonder whether the leader was ill or no longer in power.

State media earlier said that the might of the party “is growing stronger under the seasoned guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un.”

Kim, 31, who was last seen in public attending a concert on Sept. 3rd, had been seen earlier walking with a limp.

But Reuters reported Friday that Kim was still in firm control of his government, according to a source with access to the secretive North’s leadership. That source suggested Kim has been sidelined with a leg injury after taking part in a military drill.

“He ordered all the generals to take part in drills and he took part too. They were crawling and running and rolling around, and he pulled a tendon,” the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

“He injured his ankle and knee around late August or early September while drilling because he is overweight. He limped around in the beginning but the injury worsened,” the anonymous source added.

Kim came into power after his father died of a heart attack in 2011, and has rapidly gained weight since then.

“Kim Jong Un is in total control,” the source told Reuters, and needs about 100 days to recuperate. The source’s information has not been independently verified.

National Security Council spokesman Patrick Ventrell told reporters Friday that the U.S monitors events in North Korea very closely.

“We have seen those same reports about Kim Jong Un’s health. I don’t have anything for you on that. Given that the DPRK regime is the most opaque on earth, it’s not surprising that there is very little reliable and publicly available information about this. Regarding rumors of a coup, as we have said previously, those appear to be false,” Ventrell said.

During a surprise visit to South Korea last week to attend the closing ceremonies of the Asian Games in Incheon, three senior North Korean leaders assured their South Korean counterparts that Kim was healthy, but that has done little to calm the rumors abroad that he was unwell.

U.S. and South Korean officials told The New York Times that there is no immediate evidence that there has been a coup.

“The last time was when everyone was predicting that Kim Jong-un would be pushed aside by his more experienced uncle, and look what happened to him,” a senior official told the paper.

After surviving several earlier purges, Kim’s uncle, Jang Song Thaek, was publicly shamed and then executed on treason charges in December 2013.

Geoffery Cain wrote in The Global Post that some analysts believe the leader’s younger sister, Kim Yo Jong has been running the country in his absence.

“She is one of the only people in that we know has unfettered direct access to KJU. At the present time I would not be surprised if she is sole gatekeeper,” Michael Madden, who runs the North Korea Leadership Watch blog, told Cain.

The article points out that little is known about the sister, believed to be born in the late 80s, but in March she appeared on state television as a senior official.

Kim is usually a near-constant one-man show in state media, but he has kept a low profile before. In 2012, he wasn’t seen publicly for about three weeks, South Korean officials say.

“Such vanishing acts would be most unusual in democracies, but in totalitarian North Korea, Kim is the state. He is free to come and go as he pleases,” Lee Sung-yoon, a North Korea expert at Tufts University’s Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, told The Times.

On Friday, South Korea’s Unification Ministry said it believes Kim remains in charge, referring to a message conveyed by him via a delegation visiting last weekend, and Pyongyang’s continued public position that Kim leads the country.

“So it appears it is being normally ruled by Kim Jong Un,” ministry spokesman Lim Byeong-cheol said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Company Fires Employee For Having Gun…IN HIS OWN HOME

Posted by Tony Oliva on Oct 9, 2014

Let me interject something. While in Ferlaino’s mind he was just having a pleasant break time conversation among coworkers, someone in that group heard “gun owner” and went bat-poo crazy and no doubt started telling everyone that Ferlaino was carrying machine guns and weeds weren’t the only thing he was looking to whack. Such is the demented mindset of hoplophobes, that they wet their pants at the mere notion of someone owner a gun.

So, due to this hoplophobia, Weiss informed Ferlaino that he had met with the property owners association’s board of directors July 1 and that Ferlaino’s conversation with his co-workers violated the company’s “no tolerance policy.” As such, he was fired effective immediately.

There is SO much wrong with this cluster flop. Like, how exactly is the simple fact of being a gun owner a violation of any policy? After 21 years Mr. Ferlaino doesn’t get a warning or a reprimand but rather summarily fired? Also, Ferlaino doesn’t get a chance to answer any of this before being fired? I mean, even when Weiss spoke to him on July 2nd the decision was all ready made on July 1st.

Thanks to the forward thinking of the State of Indiana, not only is the LOFS actions immoral and unethical but they are also ILLEGAL.

It is that last part that has brought on the lawsuit by Ferlaino against the Property Owners Association. According to Ferlaino’s attorney, Marissa McDermott:

The association violated Indiana’s “take your gun to work law,” which was amended in 2011, because it required Ferlaino to divulge information about owing a gun and fired him because he’s a gun owner.

Also, even if Ferlaino had brought his gun to work and left it secured in his car, the law forbids employers from punishing employees who exercise that option.

Not only is Ferlaino is seeking actual and punitive damages, attorney fees etc. he’s also asking a judge to order the property owners association to refrain from engaging in similar practices with regard to other employees.

Though I’ve no doubt that a hit to the pocket books of these bigoted wannabee thought police members of the LOFS Property Owner’s Association will be an added reminder not to oppress those who choose to exercise their rights when it has nothing to do with work.

I wish Ferlaino luck in his lawsuit and hope he is compensated accordingly.

Creeping Islamism: State Dept endorses handbook calling jihad noble

Written by Allen West on October 9, 2014

http://allenbwest.com/2014/10/creeping-islamism-state-dept-endorses-handbook-calling-jihad-noble/

We cannot defeat Islamo-fascism as long as we refuse to admit its existence. America, and indeed the West as a whole, must come to the understanding that strategically we are fighting an ideology. However, if we continue to dismiss and make apologies in order to create some sense of comfort for ourselves — then we will never be able to achieve success in degrading or destroying this vile, savage and barbaric enemy. And that is why this latest development in the U.S. State Department is utterly disturbing.

As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, “The U.S. State Department endorsed on Wednesday a controversial anti-terror handbook published by Canada’s Muslim community that refers to jihad as “noble” and urges law enforcement to avoid using terms such as “Islamic extremism.” You can review it here.

“The handbook, published earlier this month by two Canadian Muslim community organizations, was so controversial that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) flatly rejected the manual and ordered its officers not to use it. Yet the State Department’s official anti-terrorism Twitter feed, called Think Again Turn Away, appeared to endorse the controversial handbook on Twitter and linked to a positive article about it.”

We’ve reported previously about the efforts of “Muslim advocacy” groups to purge training materials being used by the FBI, Department of Defense or local law enforcement agencies which have been deemed offensive and anti-Islamic. Not to mention the UN Resolution 16/18 as promoted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that promotes criminalization of deemed anti-Islamic speech.

But here in America, the Obama administration can’t seem to condemn the Ft. Hood jihadist attack by Nidal Hasan and still refers to it as “workplace violence.” If you read the after action report on the Ft. Hood shooting, you’ll find no references to jihadist,” Islamic terrorism, Islamic extremism or Islamism – the report was completely whitewashed. And don’t forget the FBI’s quick reaction to claim that the vicious beheading of the American woman in Moore, Oklahoma was again “workplace violence” — regardless of the jihadist proclamations on the beheader’s Facebook page. And have you heard anything else about the self-proclaimed jihadist attacks by Ali Muhammad Brown — his last victim being 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin in New Jersey.

It’s disconcerting that our own State Department would accept a handbook from the Canadian Muslim Community that was rejected by the Canadian RCMP.

The Free Beacon reports, the RCMP ultimately decided to reject the book, citing its “adversarial tone.” “After a final review of the handbook, the RCMP could not support the adversarial tone set by elements of the booklet and therefore directed RCMP Manitoba not to proceed with this initiative,” the police force said in a statement posted on its website. The handbook itself recommends that “intelligence and law enforcement officials” should “avoid terms such as ‘Islamist terrorism’, ‘Islamicism’, and ‘Islamic extremism’ in favor of more accurate terms such as ‘al-Qaida- inspired extremist,’” according to one section of the handbook, which still bears RCMP’s official logo.

I suppose we need a lesson in the Arabic terminology and the principle regarding lying. There are two forms of lying to non-believers which are permitted under certain circumstances: taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

So why is it that our own government is accepting the lies as purported by the Islamic community of Canada regarding our law enforcement efforts? Is this just another example of the Islamist sympathies of B. Hussein Obama?

The Beacon says “the term “jihad” also is not appropriate to use, according to the handbook, a copy of which was first published by Canada’s CBC News. “Do not refer to terrorists as ‘jihadis,’” the manual states. “This only emboldens them and gives them a legitimate status in the eyes of the vulnerable. Terrorism is not jihad. Jihad is a noble concept in Islam.” Other sections tell the Muslim community that they are under no obligation to speak to the police about individuals who may be suspected of having extremist ties.”

So we just dismiss it when jihadists tell us they are committing jihad because this handbook refers to it as a “noble concept” in Islam? In the Obama administration State Department’s endorsement of this handbook, has this administration now surrendered to the whims of the cultural jihadists and their stealth efforts – or simply condoning them?

Terrorism analyst and reporter Patrick Poole told the Free Beacon that “the State Department’s tweet of the controversial handbook is a sign of what he called its disjointed policies. “From letting members of designated terrorist groups into the White House, backing the Muslim Brotherhood in the so-called ‘Arab Spring’, responding to demands of Islamic groups to purge counter-terror training materials, to endorsing extremist Islamic clerics like Sheikh Bin Bayyah only then to have to apologize, and now this,” he said. “To describe it as a series of missteps is a gross understatement. This is a coordinated campaign of counter-terror catastrophe.”

One of the questions I continue to receive along my travels is, “do you believe what Obama is doing is based upon incompetence or intention?” I carefully consider the inquiry and search for trends to analyze and assess, and this is not incompetence — this is the intentional agenda of a progressive socialist who is an Islamist sympathizer dedicated to fundamentally transforming America.

These are not mistakes, missteps or misspeaking. This is the desire of a narcissistic collectivist ideologue whom hapless Americans allowed to be created, foolishly elected and then stupidly reelected. The question is, are we too far gone to turn back? Perhaps we’ll know in about 26 days.

U.S. Congressman Who Supports Muslim Brotherhood Wants To Fund Muslim Terrorists

Researched and Written by Walid Shoebat

When it comes to Congressional representatives for the adjacent 8th and 11th districts of Virginia, there has been a distinct alliance with a certain Muslim Brotherhood-linked mosque and individuals. From the mid-1990’s until he left office in 2009, Rep. Thomas M. Davis (R-VA) rubbed elbows with the Chairman of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, VA.

Davis’ Democrat successor Congressman Gerald Connolly (D-VA) has picked up right where Davis left off. Among other things, earlier this year, a Board member for Dar al-Hijrah – Akram Elzend – hosted a fundraiser for Connolly, as Shoebat.com reported. Last year, Connolly defended the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt by asserting that because they were elected to power, the group’s removal was unjustified. Connolly failed to acknowledge that one of the reasons 30 million Egyptians took to the streets to remove Mohammed Mursi was because Mursi was implementing Sharia law, which, ironically, would have ended democracy.

Last month, Connolly defended the Muslim Brotherhood and called for the continued funding of the Palestinian Authority, despite the group’s inclusion of Hamas leaders:

As Shoebat.com has reported, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has served the 8th district for years. In addition to embracing Dar al-Hijrah’s longtime chairman Bassam Estwani like Davis did, it was recently revealed that Moran donated substantially to Muslim Brotherhood front group CAIR.

“Are you paying attention America?’

“Just tonight, on the O’Reilly Factor, Allen Combs made the statement that Islam and Christianity ARE EQUAL. He then brought up mentally ill people who committed horrific crimes claiming to be Christians. To Allen, that makes both religions the same.’

“As I stated earlier today, we are in a growing persecution of Christianity. It is growing faster than any of us thought possible. I urge you to follow the disciples reaction, and prayer, after their first persecution;

Acts 4:18-31; 18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God. 20 For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:

“‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 26 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One.’

27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” (NIV)

“We all need to pray for greater boldness, and ask for wisdom to know what to say, when and where. The persecution is here. It has begun. Are you ready?”

Ann Coulter Letter: “GOP’s big idea: Let’s not have a wave election”

By: Ann Coulter 10/8/2014 06:46 PM

http://humanevents.com/2014/10/08/gops-big-idea-lets-not-have-a-wave-election/

GOP's big idea: Let's not have a wave election On Monday, the Washington Times reported on the Homeland Security Inspector General’s finding that detention facilities for illegal border-crossers are teeming with diseases because the guests don’t know how to take medicine or use toilets. By Tuesday, there were more than 1,000 comments.

That’s a lot of comments. Articles on ISIS usually get between five and 100 comments.

True, a month ago, a CNN poll reported that 90 percent of Americans said they believed ISIS was a direct threat to the United States. What else could they say? You’d feel awfully silly if you told a CNN pollster ISIS wasn’t a threat and, the next day, the group set off a bomb in Times Square.

When it comes to what Americans are angry enough about to post more than a thousand comments, there’s only one issue. It’s immigration.

But the Republican leadership won’t touch it. Their consultants have kids who are going to need college tuition, and the donor class wants cheap labor.

So instead, the big thinkers of the party give us the same soporifics a 5-year-old could produce. In Karl Rove’s recent Wall Street Journal piece announcing the main issues Republicans needed to raise to win back the Senate, he listed tax cuts, regulatory reform, spending restraint, the Keystone pipeline and national defense … zzzzzzzz.

Anything missing? Maybe something that would produce 1,173 comments on a single article in The Washington Times?

Here’s a representative sample of the comments: – Defiant1: All the more reason why they should not be in the US; these illegal alien lawbreakers need to be deported immediately; I am tired of paying for this human garbage.

Sorry, girls, Defiant1 is married. – Erminilildo Zegna: After the demographic shift, this will be “the people.”

Is it just me, or would anybody else pay good money to see Jeb Bush debate Erminilildo Zegna? –

lysosome: And that is the kind of “progress” we get from the so-called “progressives” (leftists). It’s all about equality — equal misery for all (except the elitist leftists that run things, they are more equal than the rest of us).

Can’t we vote for one of the commenters?

There was also this helpful post explaining the bathroom “unfamiliarity” problem: –

Richard: You fail to understand the actual problem with bathrooms and a lot of illegal immigrants. If it was only an issue getting them to wash after defecating that wouldn’t be a big deal. First, you have to get them to defecate in the toilet. Then you have to get them to wipe. Then you have to get them to leave the TP in the toilet and not the trashcan. A lot of these people come from places where there is no running water. The whole bathroom thing is totally foreign to them.

After a self-righteous complaint about the phrase “human garbage,” dozens of commenters leapt to the defense of the person who had used it: –

WeimMom:I used to be one of those who touted, “They just want a better life.” I long ago gave up that mentality as they have stolen millions from Americans. Illegals come into a major retailer where I work, buy carts full of groceries with WIC & Food Stamps, off to a money center sending thousands of dollars home every weekend! They hate us and are responsible for the sour taste in the mouth of millions of Americans!

I’ve got a girl crush on WeimMom and I don’t care who knows it. –

caligirl:I have seen a latino with 5 kids and one in the oven ring up $1,400 worth of junk. Bottled water, chips, junk food. You are correct. They are garbage and sucking the U.S. dry.

I’m not very tech savvy — how do I forward this comment to Marco Rubio? Someone bleating about “little kids” crossing the border got these replies:

– Lucy: They aren’t all “little kids” by a long shot!

– Attm Motob: Especially the 25 year old little kids. Even more especially the MS-13 members.

– Leftcoastrocky: In your world, 25 year olds are probably still little kids.

When did you realize you’re racists, Lucy, Attm Motob and Leftcoastrocky? –

SWohio: You don’t have an iota of sympathy for the children who have died from sitting next to diseased invaders, nor for the children who will die, and those who are permanently paralyzed mean nothing whatsoever to you.We all know now what liberals and democrats care about and we will be responding to your attacks on Americans in November.

How does Vice President SWohio sound to you, young feller?

It is a mark of how utterly useless the national Republican committees are that roughly half the comments questioned whether Republicans would be any better on immigration than the Democrats. Any party that is incapable of capitalizing on this justified rage about our country being overrun with illegal aliens doesn’t deserve a Senate majority.

Unfortunately, the rest of us don’t deserve what will happen if Republicans don’t get one.

The Republican leadership has got to choose between their voters and their donors. They can’t have both — at least as long as the donors keep big-footing the conservative base on immigration. No amount of money in the world is going to help a candidate who’s allowed to sell only crap.

Christian outfitter ordered to undergo ‘diversity training’ for refusal to print ‘Gay Pride’ t-shirts (Video)

By Michael Dorstewitz on October 8, 2014 at 3:46 pm

Hands On Originals argued that their objection wasn’t rooted in the sexual orientation of the customers, and even gave the group the name of another local vendor who would complete the order at the same price Hands On Originals would have charged. The Herald-Leader reported:

Hands On Originals contended that it declined the T-shirt order because it is a Christian company and disagreed with the message of the shirt. The shirt was a stylized numeral 5 on the front. On the back was “Lexington Pride Festival” and a list of sponsors of the gay pride event.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, an Arizona group defending Hands On Originals, released a statement announcing its disappointment with the ruling, which it said would also require printers to do business with controversial groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for its extreme ideologies, especially against gay people.

“No one should be forced by the government — or by another citizen — to endorse or promote ideas with which they disagree,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Jim Campbell, who argued before the hearing examiner on behalf of Hands On Originals.

“Blaine (Adamson, of Hands On Originals) declined the request to print the shirts not because of any characteristic of the people who asked for them, but because of the message that the shirts would communicate.”

Local attorney Bryan Beauman, who served as co-counsel on behalf of Hands On Originals agreed, and suggested an example where the tables may be turned.

“No one wants to live in that kind of America — a place where people who identify as homosexual are forced to promote the Westboro Baptists and where printers with sincere religious convictions are forced to promote the message of the GLSO,” he said in a statement. “In America, we don’t force people to express messages that are contrary to their convictions.”

As for myself, I keep wondering what would behoove a gay and lesbian pride organization to place an order with a company called “Hands On Originals Christian Outfitters” if not to initiate a lawsuit.

Watch the following video depicting the company’s position.

Mystery virus found where illegal-alien kids sent

Posted By Paul Bremmer On 10/08/2014

URL to article: http://www.wnd.com/2014/10/mystery-virus-found-where-illegal-alien-kids-sent/

Enterovirus D68 has killed five U.S. children and infected hundreds more in the past month and a half, doctors confirm, and some believe there may be a connection between the sudden outbreak and the throngs of unaccompanied, illegal-alien children now being housed across the country.

A 2013 study published in Virology Journal found EV-D68 in a small proportion of young people with flu-like symptoms in eight Latin American countries.

According to investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson, there are significant numbers of unaccompanied illegal minors in Kansas City and Chicago, the two cities where the current EV-D68 outbreak was first identified.

The outbreak happened in mid- to late August, right around the time when many children would have gone back to school and come into contact with their new illegal-alien classmates for the first time.

While not proving the Enterovirus outbreak originated with the Central American children, the CDC reports on its website confirmed EV-D68 cases in 44 states and the District of Columbia since mid-August. That includes states, such as Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming, which have very few illegal minors. Meanwhile, Arizona, a common crossing point and holding ground for illegal aliens, is one of the six states that have not had a confirmed case of EV-D68.

And Enteroviruses are not unheard of in the United States. They commonly circulate during summer and fall. The current strain, EV-D68, was first identified in California in 1962 and has rarely been reported in the U.S. since then. The CDC has not offered any theories to explain the current outbreak, which has led many to speculate.

TheConservativeTreehouse.com made the connection between the EV-D68 outbreak and the thousands of illegal immigrant children who have arrived in the U.S. this year in an article Sunday titled “Obama is Complicit in the Murder of Five Children – Illegal South American Immigrants Introduce Deadly Virus to U.S. Children.”

It showed points where illegal alien children are known to have been sent and the locations where virus cases have been reported.

See the links:

Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly – author of “Who Killed the American Family?” – said she agrees Obama is responsible for allowing diseases to enter the country.

“There are all kinds of diseases in the rest of the world, and we don’t want them in this country,” Schlafly said. “And it’s Obama’s job to keep them out.

“Out of all the things he’s done, I think this thing of letting these diseased people into this country to infect our own people is just the most outrageous of all.”

Schlafly said the government should screen immigrants for disease before they enter the country, as was done at Ellis Island a hundred years ago.

“That was the purpose of Ellis Island – to have a waiting place where it was decided whether people were healthy enough or responsible enough to come into our country,” she said. “The idea that anybody can just walk in and carry this disease with them is just an outrage, and it is Obama’s fault because he’s responsible for doing it.”

In her new book, Schlafly wrote about Antonio Gramsci, the Italian communist who developed a strategy in the early 1900s to overthrow Western society from within.

Gramsci’s idea was to attack the foundations of Western society, including patriotism, national unity, tradition, language and the rule of law. However, Schlafly does not believe the present illegal immigration crisis is something Gramsci would have foreseen or incorporated into his plan.

“Gramsci lived some time ago, and I don’t think he had any idea that we were going to be so stupid as to let anybody into our country who walks up to the border,” she said.

When asked why the current administration hasn’t done more to prevent diseased illegal aliens or Ebola carriers from Africa from entering the country, Schlafly said Obama wants to make the U.S. more like the rest of the world.

“Obama doesn’t want America to believe that we’re exceptional,” Schlafly said. “He wants us to be just like everybody else, and if Africa is suffering from Ebola, we ought to join the group and be suffering from it, too. That’s his attitude.”

Report: 4 Islamic terrorists found in Texas in last 36 hours

Posted By Bob Unruh On 10/08/2014

URL to article: http://www.wnd.com/2014/10/report-4-islamic-terrorists-found-in-texas-in-36-hours/

A noted Washington watchdog organization on Wednesday said four “Islamic terrorists” have been caught in Texas after coming into the U.S. across the Mexican border in just the last 36 hours.

Judicial Watch announced its sources within the Department of Homeland Security say the arrests were made by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr.

The announcement came only hours after a member of Congress, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., disclosed in a TV interview that jihadists with the Middle Eastern group ISIS have been caught coming into the U.S. from Mexico.

He said his information came from the Border Patrol.

“They were caught at the border … therefore, we know that ISIS is coming across the border,” he said. “If they catch five or 10 of them, we know there are dozens more that did not get caught.”

Judicial Watch said it confirmed its information after Hunter, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, was interviewed by the Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren.

Hunter said that if the administration really wants to protect Americans from ISIS, it needs to secure the southern border.

“It’s that simple. ISIS doesn’t have a navy, they don’t have an air force, they don’t have nuclear weapons,” he said. “The only way that ISIS is going to harm Americans is by coming in through the southern border – which they already have.’

“They aren’t flying B-1 bombers, bombing American cities, but they are going to be bombing American cities coming across from Mexico,” he said.

Watch his interview with Fox News:

By Wednesday evening, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson denied the reports, telling CNN, “Let’s not unduly create fear and anxiety in the

By WhatDidYouSay.org

public by passing on speculation and rumor.”

Johnson said Hunter’s claims are not supported by “credible, specific intelligence to that effect” and that public officials should “be responsible in what we decide to share with the American public, so that the public is informed.”

Spokesman Joe Kasper told CNN Hunter stands by his statements.

WND reported the Department of Homeland Security, which has claimed there is not an imminent danger of ISIS breaching the nation’s southern border, has nevertheless confirmed ISIS may be thinking about making such a move.

Francis Taylor, the undersecretary for intelligence and analysis at DHS, provided that assessment to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee at a congressional hearing, Bloomberg News reported.

“There have been Twitter and social media exchanges among ISIL (ISIS) adherents across the globe speaking about that as a possibility,” Taylor said.

Taylor said ISIS “doesn’t pose an immediate threat” to the homeland, but the jihadist organization, which claims to have established a caliphate ruled by Islamic law, can attack American targets overseas without warning, the Associated Press reported.

Taylor explained during the hearing that ISIS has “capabilities” that most jihadist groups lack.

Taylor’s warning was echoed by Nicholas Rasmussen, the deputy director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who said there already have been attacks in France and Belgium by former ISIS fighters.

WND reported earlier that Judicial Watch warned there was an ISIS presence in Mexico, just across the border from Texas.

The warning was followed by an increase in security imposed at Fort Bliss, Texas.

“It’s a significant issue when this is done,” retired Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin said of the higher security measures at Fort Bliss, which is just across the border from Juarez, Mexico.

“That means they’re getting a threat stream. Fort Bliss had to have a clear and present threat,” said the former Delta Force commander, who also was deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence for four years.

Fort Bliss spokesman Lt. Col. Lee Peters said that based on Department of Defense “guidance from recent nationwide incidents, and our own internal assessments coupled with recent media reporting, we decided to implement increased security measures on Bliss.”

“These changes are not as a result of a specific threat but rather to simply get prudent security measures in place to protect our military, employees and visitors,” the statement said.

The move was made shortly after Judicial Watch said Islamic terrorist groups are “operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.”

The report said high-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.

“Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.”

The organization said the sources “reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.”

The report said commanders at Fort Bliss were briefed.

The online news source Policy.Mic said: “Forget immigration: The Islamic State may be the best reason yet to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.”

The report noted that Texas Gov. Rick Perry had warned a Heritage Foundation audience weeks ago that ISIS militants “may have already slipped across the Mexican border.”

While he said there was no clear evidence then of terrorists being in the U.S., Perry said, “I think there is the obvious, great concern that – because of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across – that individuals from ISIS or other terrorist states could be.”

One Texas sheriff said he wasn’t really worried about it.

“If there are ISIS fighters that may already be in the United States, or in your area who’ve crossed the border, what’s your message to them?” CNN’s Don Lemon asked Midland County Sheriff, Gary Painter.

“If they rear their ugly heads, we’ll send them to hell,” Painter said

The Washington Post reports:

The capital of Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest and perhaps most chronically unstable nation, has new masters. Shiite rebels man checkpoints and roam the streets in pickups mounted with antiaircraft guns.

The fighters control almost all state buildings, from the airport and the central bank to the Defense Ministry.

Only a few police officers and soldiers are left on the streets. Rebel fighters have plastered the city with fliers proclaiming their slogan — “Death to America, death to Israel, a curse on the Jews and victory to Islam” — a variation of a popular Iranian slogan often chanted by Shiite militants in Iraq and supporters of Lebanon’s Hezbollah.

The comparison to Hezbollah is apt as Reuters is reporting that the Houthi are blocking the appointment of Yemen’s president.

Abdel-Malek al-Ejri said Hadi had suggested five names at a meeting of his advisors, who represent various political parties in Yemen. When the aides failed to agree on a candidate Hadi suggested his presidential office director, Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, as a compromise.

“But we did not agree, and the matter is still under consultation,” Ejri told Reuters.

Similarly, Hezbollah has kept Lebanon’s politics unsettled preventing the appointment of a President.

So what’s Iran’s interest in Yemen? It was spelled out by Michael Segall of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs two and a half years ago. A couple of Segall’s observations are sobering:

Iran regards Yemen in general, and its Shia northern part in particular, as a springboard for subversion and for creating a tangible threat to Saudi Arabia, its main religious-political rival in the region. Iran also seeks to establish a physical Iranian presence, ground and naval, in the countries and ports of the Red Sea littoral, which control the shipping (and weapon-supply) lanes leading from the Persian Gulf to the heart of the Middle East and to Europe.

Islamic Iran aspires to superpower status. It is actively involved in the region’s primary crisis centers. These include the “Arab Spring’s” main fronts with the West and the moderate Arab states: Syria, where Iran backs Bashar Assad through thick and thin; Bahrain, where Iran calls for the overthrow of the Royal House and supports the Shia demonstrators; and Yemen, where Iran is active in attempts to create a new order that is not based on support for the West.

While the West is obsessed with ISIS, Iran has continued its quest for dominance in the Middle East. In Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and now Yemen Iran is emerging as a major player.

In defending the nuclear deal with Iran President Obama said last year, “But if we can negotiate on the nuclear program in the same way that Ronald Reagan was able to negotiate with the Soviet Union even as we were still contesting them around the world, that removes one more threat — and a critical, existential threat — takes it out of their arsenal. And it allows us then to ultimately I think win them — defeat some of their agenda throughout the region without worrying that somehow it’s going to escalate or trigger a nuclear arms race in the most volatile part of the world.”

The problem is that even if the deal the P5+1 is negotiating with Iran is as effective as the president claimed it would be (and it appears to be a total capitulation), Iran continues to promote its agenda throughout the Middle East at little or no cost.

Christian Farming Couple Fighting Back ‘Discrimination’ Ruling

October 7, 2014 By Matthew Burke

Robert and Cynthia Gifford own a farm in upstate New York, the Liberty Ridge Farm, where the Christian couple supplement their farming income by holding weddings, receptions, and company events on their farm which is surrounded by nature’s beauty. But when a homosexual couple, Jennifer McCarthy and Melisa Erwin, of Newark, New Jersey, requested that the Giffords rent their facility to the lesbian couple, the Giffords offered to allow the reception to be held on the farm, but not the wedding itself, as it violates their biblically-based Christian views.

The homosexual couple took the Giffords to court, rather than accept the Christian farmers’ compromise, and the administrative law judge in the case, Migdalia Pares of the Bronx, decided to take away the Christian couple’s First Amendment rights, ruling that they, “unlawfully discriminated against complainants solely on the basis of their sexual orientation,” in addition to levying a $13,000 fine.

But as the Daily Signal reports, the New York Christian farmers are not taking the decision laying down, and will fight “every facet” of the decision:

The Giffords contend their decision was not about the couple’s sexual orientation but about upholding their own religiously based views on marriage.

“We open our doors for a certain part of the year for everyone to come and enjoy God’s country that we’re so blessed to live on,” Cynthia Gifford said.

“We feel the judge did not consider our religious beliefs or the Constitution, so we were very disappointed in that fact and decided to appeal hoping we would have the opportunity for a court to consider our religious rights and constitutional rights,” she said.

As TPNN reported in August, the couple made the painful financial decision to stop all weddings on their farm, rather than violate their First Amendment rights to freedom of religion.

Krauthammer: Panetta Interview ‘Utterly Devastating’ for Obama

by Fox News Insider // Oct 07 2014 // 8:50pm

http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014/10/07/krauthammer-panetta-interview-utterly-devastating-obama

As seen on The O’Reilly Factor

Charles Krauthammer tonight weighed in on Bill O’Reilly’s interview with former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, calling it “utterly devastating” for President Barack Obama.

“You did great, Panetta did great, I’m afraid Obama did not do very well,” Krauthammer said. He called Panetta an icon of the Democratic Party and said that everyone knows he is a straight shooter.

“You can tell from the tone of his responses to you that he’s sympathetic to the president but he loves his country and he feels he has to say the truth,” Krauthammer said. “The content of what he said […] was utterly devastating. He was basically saying this president cannot lead, he is indecisive, and he is weak.”

Watch Krauthammer’s full analysis below.

Obama Ebola Bumper Stickers Appear Around Los Angeles

by Truth Revolt | October 8, 2014

http://www.infowars.com/obama-ebola-bumper-stickers-appear-around-los-angeles/

: Some Southland drivers seem convinced that the President’s policy on stopping the virus to-date have not inspired confidence

Vice President Joe Biden held up traffic around Los Angeles for a second day on Tuesday, but it was President Obama himself on the minds of many Southern California drivers as bumper stickers began appearing on area cars featuring the word Ebola with the Obama logo replacing the letter “o.”

The scathing stickers come on the eve of President Obama’s Thursday trip to LA for a fundraiser at the home of Gwyneth Paltrow and on the same day that the LA Times reports that it may be premature for Mr. Obama’s government to declare that the deadly Ebola virus is not transmitted by air.

Dr. C.J. Peters, who battled a 1989 outbreak of the virus among research monkeys housed in Virginia and who later led the CDC’s most far-reaching study of Ebola’s transmissibility in humans, said he would not rule out the possibility that it spreads through the air in tight quarters.

“We just don’t have the data to exclude it,” said Peters, who continues to research viral diseases at the University of Texas in Galveston.

Whatever the case, at least some Southland drivers seem convinced that the President’s policy on stopping the virus to-date have not inspired confidence.

Watch as These Five People Boldly Proclaim: We’re Not Ashamed to be Pro-Life

by Josh Shepherd | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 10/7/14

http://www.lifenews.com/2014/10/07/watch-as-these-five-people-boldly-proclaim-were-not-ashamed-to-be-pro-life/

Those who serve faithfully in the pro-life movement rarely get the opportunity to look up from day-to-day work and see the big picture.

For many, the March for Life every January is their one chance to rub shoulders with like-minded advocates. One other annual event stands out for its variety of high-caliber, pro-life leaders and interactive breakout sessions: the Values Voter Summit sponsored by Family Research Council Action.

Values Voter Summit 2014 #VVS14

Popularly referred to as #VVS14 — a top-trending Twitter topic nationally during the event — Values Voter Summit features conservative luminaries who garnered significant media attention in discussing America’s most pressing issues leading up to the mid-term elections: Sen. Ted Cruz, Gov. Bobby Jindal, talk show host Mark Levin, Gov. Sarah Palin, Sen. Rand Paul, Alan Robertson (of Duck Dynasty fame) and many others.

While most touched on life issues, five leaders elevated current contentions over abortion policy and the value of every life as a primary thrust of their remarks:

Young woman wearing Life Tape, in a video by Lt. Gov. Dewhurst recapping Texas’ fight for life

1. Star Parker: “Abortion May Be Legal Today, But It’s Not Lawful in God’s Eyes”

President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), Star Parker brought an impassioned plea for Congress to investigate abortion-center horrors like Kermit Gosnell‘s clinic — and enact penalties in the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act signed into law over a decade ago.

“We’ve been concerned for years about minority women that have been targeted by the abortion lobby,” Parker said. “While black women of childbearing age represent only 7% of the American population, they represent 35% of all abortions.” This important advocacy effort by the National Black Pro-Life Coalition is poised to make a great impact starting with the next Congress in January.

2. Young Mother Tells Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst: ”We Have Our Son Today Because of You”

As Lieutenant Governor of the Lone Star State alongside Governor Rick Perry, David Dewhurst played a significant role in ensuring the democratic process was not shut down in Texas by outside pro-abortion interests that attempted to end HB 2, the “pro-life law of the century” enacted last year by overwhelming majority vote.

“We had a group of people who took over the Senate chambers and kept our Senate from doing business,” Pastor Steve Riggle said in a new video premiered at Values Voter Summit. “We decided we would all show up so we could save some lives.” The video also features a young woman in red Life Tape, a strategy that originated with Bound4LIFE in 2004 and now widely adopted by pro-life groups.

3. Ryan Bomberger, African-American Pro-Life Leader: “For Exercising a Civil Right, I’m Being Sued by a Civil Rights Group”

“Any time anybody wants to silence you,” began Ryan Bomberger, chief creative officer of The Radiance Foundation. “You know they’re up to no good.” He proceeded to tell (to the degree he legally can) of how his 2013 op-ed on the NAACP, which engages in parody — a hallmark of American social commentary since Mark Twain and even before. Yet a pro-lifer’s parody was too much; the massive membership group sued him.

“The writers of the Constitution were considered extreme too,” he noted. “Silence is never an option.” After a Virginia judge placed a gag order on Bomberger and ordered him to “deliver up for destruction” any prior use of his NAACP parody, The Radiance Foundation recently appealed the case to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

It’s clear what drives Ryan Bomberger in his creative work, as he weeps over America’s “56 million lives obliterated in the name of ‘reproductive freedom.’” A leader in promoting adoption and foster care, he left attendees with a strong appeal: “Never be silenced.”

4. Brigitte Gabriel: “I Know My Freedom is Built Upon Your Shoulders and Your Sacrifice”

With the rise of the Islamic State internationally — and, tragically, even in America — many #VVS14 speakers addressed this emerging threat. None were more enlightening than Brigitte Gabriel, who comes at the issue of defeating terrorism from a unique perspective.

As Founder and President of Act for America, the nation’s largest grassroots organization devoted to national security, Gabriel knows the facts. And as an immigrant to America from Lebanon, which she fled due to Islam’s increasing influence, her words carry a true depth of life experience.

Addressing veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces, Gabriel’s final remarks reveal surprising connections between the sacrifice of military families and standing up for the value of every life. “As an immigrant who came to this country, thank you for building a nation where I can come and be all that I can be,” she concluded. “You are my heroes.”

5. Rep. Marlin Stutzman: “Let This Generation Be the One to Stop Abortion in America”

A small-town Indiana farmer voted into office in 2010, Rep. Marlin Stutzman has proven to be one of the rarest of Congressmen: stating upfront his unequivocal support for defending life, even in an election year. One powerful story unearths the roots of his strongly pro-life perspective… and from the first line, you could hear a pin drop.

“There was a young lady, 17 years old, who all of a sudden found herself in an unexpected pregnancy,” Stutzman began. First told in the Washington Times, his account reveals how intensely personal the issue of life is — and how vital to discuss it in human terms.

As elections quickly approach, join us in lifting up our nation’s leaders. Pray for all Americans to vote with wisdom, demanding honesty and uprightness from those serving in public office.

What if Ebola-Infected People are Used as Weapons by the Islamic State?

October 6, 2014 By TPNN

In a frightening description of what might be in store for the Western world, TPNN’s Tim Constantine noted that just as the world had never considered a jetliner being used as a missile prior to 9/11, the world is not considering the possibility that the Ebola Virus can be used as a weapon of mass destruction.

Constantine notes that a man has already been infected with the Ebola Virus and that officials are already trying to contain the threat by corralling the many people with whom the infected traveler came into contact.

Describing the way 9/11 changed the way we assessed threats, Constantine questioned,

“What if someone took the Ebola Virus and used it in an equally shocking manner? What if those who would do harm to the United States intentionally infect young men committed to the Islamic State and then send them across our porous border to come into contact with as many people as they possibly can?”

It’s a terrifying thought.

What do you think?

Could terrorists exploit our porous borders to introduce Ebola into the U.S.?

The issue that threatens to unravel both the Constitution and the GOP

People wait to enter the Supreme Court in Washington, Monday, Oct. 6, 2014, as it begins its new term. The justices cleared the way Monday for an immediate expansion of same-sex marriage by unexpectedly and tersely turning away appeals from … more >

By Steve Deace – – Monday, October 6, 2014

THE FOLLOWING OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY STEVE DEACE DO NOT NECESSARILY REPLECT THOSE OF WhatDidYouSay.org.

With the 35-year marriage between Christians and the Republican Party already on the rocks, a U.S. Supreme Court with a majority of Republican appointees just put the religious liberty of every believer in the GOP base in unprecedented peril.

The GOP was already struggling to maintain the loyalty of its conservative base, and one of its last, best talking points was the importance of judicial appointments. Now that talking point has also been blown to smithereens. The John Roberts court gave us Obamacare, the narrowest wording possible when siding in favor of Hobby Lobby, got rid of the Defense of Marriage Act, and, on Monday, opened the floodgates for an onslaught against the First Amendment.

By deciding not to intervene in the fight it started last year, (in a divisive 5-4 ruling that Justice Antonin Scalia chastised for its “jaw-dropping assertion of judicial supremacy”) the Supremes gave the green-light to a full-blown constitutional crisis, the likes of which threatens to tear the GOP apart at the seams.

There are two reasons — one constitutional and the other political — why this has the potential to be far more explosive than even Roe v. Wade:

Constitutionally speaking, redefining marriage and morality has already proven it will also include redefining free speech, religious liberty, and private property rights as we’ve known them since the dawn of the republic. Already this year, we’re seeing an unprecedented assault on these cherished traditions by the same people who promised us the new “tolerance” wouldn’t cost anybody else their rights. The examples are legion and would require a whole separate column to chronicle. They even include a military court martial for those who believe in marriage as we’ve always known it.

One of the worst examples is what’s happening now to Robert and Cynthia Gifford, a Catholic couple in New York who are facing a $13,000 fine for refusing to rent their own home to lesbians for their “wedding.”

With few exceptions, disagreement on the sanctity of life hasn’t cost someone their livelihood or their home the way disagreement on marriage and morality has already shown it will. That’s because what’s behind this movement isn’t really tolerance, but intolerantly using the coercive force of government to make you abandon your own moral conscience. Just ask the Giffords in New York.

Understand that what’s driving this movement isn’t equality, but validation. The kind of ultimate validation the “new tolerance” cannot get from the God from whom they are sadly estranged. So the “new tolerance” wants validation from the second-most powerful force on earth instead — government.

And if you will not validate them, then you will be made to care.

Politically, this issue could be the final undoing of the Reagan Coalition that transformed electoral landscape a generation ago. Prior to Roe v. Wade, Catholics rarely voted Republican, and evangelicals rarely voted at all. Catholics were mostly Democrats, and evangelicals were waiting to be raptured away. But once baby-killing was sanctioned by the judicial branch, and the other two branches of government rolled over and played dead as well, that mobilized long-at-odds Catholics and evangelicals to come together to form the Moral Majority. That’s what allowed Reagan and the Republicans to have their governing majority.

However, while that culture war resurrected the Republican Party, this one threatens to crucify it. Reagan welcomed the flock into his herd, but the elites in charge of today’s GOP have let it be known they want no part of this battle (or any other, for that matter).

To wit:

One of the key legal advisers to the anti-marriage crowd is President George W. Bush’s former solicitor general. John McCain’s 2008 national campaign manager is working with the ACLU to squash state marriage laws. The last two GOP presidential nominees, Mr. McCain and Mitt Romney, both urged Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to veto legislation that would’ve reaffirmed the First Amendment in her state earlier this year.

Of course, right on cue, a GOP establishment best known for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory jumps on a bandwagon just as it’s losing steam.

As Michael Medved recently noted, the latest figures from Pew Research show the so-called “gay marriage tidal wave” we’ve been told was forthcoming is barely a trickle-down-zeitgeist. Support for redefining marriage has dropped five points this year, and a majority of Americans — including 77 percent of black Protestants and 82 percent of white evangelicals — agreed with the statement “homosexual behavior is a sin.”

White evangelicals, by the way, remain the largest demographic of the GOP base. It’s quite possible John Kerry would’ve been elected president in 2004, without the marriage amendment on the ballot in the key battleground state of Ohio driving up their turnout. In that same election, the Michigan Marriage Amendment got almost 300,000 more votes than George W. Bush did. Proposition 8 defending marriage in California got more statewide votes there in 2008, a huge Democrat year, than any Republican has ever received statewide. Marriage did better than Mitt Romney in all four states they shared the same ballot in 2012. In North Carolina, 61 percent voted for marriage, just four months before the Democrats showed up in Charlotte for their national convention.

Yet here we are, the base that rescued the GOP from its post-Watergate funk, remembering all the times post-Reagan we plugged our noses, ignored the GOP establishment’s foul stench, and pulled the “R” lever on Election Day nonetheless. In our time of great need, how are we repaid?

With scorn, contempt, and abandonment. Just look at this Monday headline from The Daily Caller: “The GOP’s Plan B: Throw Social Conservatives Under the Bus.”

Who knows? Maybe all those illegal aliens the GOP establishment wants to grant amnesty to will happily take our place. And maybe I’d look good in a thong.

Ironically, the issue most Republicans would love to run away from will be a front-and-center vetting tool in the looming 2016 GOP presidential primary, which is slated to start on Nov. 5. The old talking points aren’t going to cut it, either.

We can’t “let the states decide” the issue when the courts won’t allow the states to decide the issue. And we can’t wait to pass a Federal Marriage Amendment while our religious liberty is being threatened right now. Not to mention the courts have already shown a blatant disregard for the Second Amendment and most of the Bill of Rights as it is. So I fail to see why they’d suddenly submit to this new amendment.

Most of the states that are traditionally pivotal in the early GOP primary calendar have passed marriage amendments — South Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, and Florida. My home state of Iowa historically fired three state supreme court justices who thought they could redefine marriage. Thus, everyone is going to be forced to go on the record on this issue, once and for all. And when it comes to protecting our God-given rights, that’s a pass-fail exercise.

The Christian family business owner doesn’t care that the Republican will cut their taxes when they’re too busy paying hefty fines and legal fees just for being a Christian.

Oklahoma beheader’s mosque receives personal letter of thanks from Obama

See more at: http://poorrichardsnews.com/post/99322141378/oklahoma-beheaders-mosque-receives-personal-letter-of#sthash.nJVB2OrI.dpuf

This is like one of those headlines that a gossip rag might fabricate in order to smear someone, but it’s not. This actually happened.

from KFOR:

Today, an official from Washington D.C. flew in to Oklahoma to present a special thank you to the Muslim congregation.

He read a message from President Barrack Obama, extending warm greetings from the American people during the Muslim holiday.

“Your service is a powerful example of the powerful roots of the Abrahamic faiths and how our communities can come together with shared peace with dignity and a sense of justice,” President Barack Obama said.

The Imam, the leader of the prayer service, stated during his sermon that the Muslim faith has been called a “cancer that needs to be cut off from the American society.”

Now, with the recent praise, Oklahoma Muslims have been reassured that they are apart of the American society.

Never mind the fact that this mosque’s Imam has now been connected to TWO terrorist attacks, including the Boston Bombing.

Never mind that one of their congregants just beheaded a woman.

No, Obama thinks this is the perfect time to send a letter of thanks to them.

I don’t know if this was a case of horrible timing or a deliberate thumb in the victim’s family’s eyes, but I can’t imagine a more calloused, insensitive political move than this.

McCain: ISIS Advance Shows ‘Ineffectiveness and Fecklessness’ of Air Strikes

By Susan Jones / October 7, 2014 – 5:53 AM

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/mccain-isis-advance-shows-ineffectiveness-and-fecklessness-air-strikes

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), an early and vocal advocate of U.S. intervention in Syria, is warning of “mass slaughter” in Kobani, a Syrian town on the border with Turkey where fighting raged on Monday.

Islamic State fighters are battling Kurdish defenders for control of Kobani. “And if it falls, there is going to be a mass slaughter,” McCain told Fox News’s Neil Cavuto on Monday. And there will be no better indication of the ineffectiveness and fecklessness of this air campaign we’re now seeing, where you warn the enemy weeks ahead of time.

“You know those pictures of those buildings you see being blown up with such accuracy? Most of them were empty. Any military guy will tell you is, you strike first and then tell the enemy about it, not give them a week’s warning.”

McCain says it’s important to strike the enemy hard and fast, to do that, “you may have to have American Special Forces on the ground.” President Obama has ruled out a ground offensive, but McCain said, “Eventually, he will have to do it. It’s just a matter of time.”

http://www.mrctv.org/embed/129741 http://www.mrctv.org/videos/mccain-isis-advance-shows-ineffectiveness-and-fecklessness-air-strikes”> mccain

“[W]hen you go in incrementally, with incremental increases, my friend, we saw that movie in Vietnam, where we incrementally increased. And that doesn`t work. You have got to strike hard. And you have got to strike fast, and you have to do what is necessary in order to win.’

“This is a threat to the United States of America. And I’m — I am very, very disillusioned, particularly when we`re going to train 5,000 young Syrians, send them back in to be bombed by Bashar al-Assad. That’s immoral. That’s immoral to do that. You have to give them a no-fly zone — a no-fly zone in which to operate.’

“According to the Associated Press: Capturing Kobani would give the Islamic State group, which already rules a huge stretch of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, a direct link between its positions in the Syrian province of Aleppo and its stronghold of Raqqa, to the east. It would also crush a lingering pocket of resistance and give the group full control of a large stretch of the Turkish-Syrian border.”

The AP also reported that Syria’s Kurds have been lobbying for greater support from the international community to help them in their fight against the Islamic State militants. While the U.S.-led coalition has carried out some airstrikes against militant positions around Kobani, those strikes have failed to blunt the extremists’ advance.

At the State Department Monday, a reporter asked why the United States hasn’t done more to stop ISIS fighters from closing in on Kobani.

“It’s an ongoing effort,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki replied. “I would refer you to DOD for more about their military strategy, but obviously this is something where we’ve long said from the beginning that this would take some time. We’re working closely to do everything we can to help push back ISIL in this part of the country, but again, I don’t have any other military updates from here.”

Hunt for French intelligence officer-turned-Islamic-terrorist plotting attack on US

School Bans Christian Club — Again

October 6, 2014 By Todd Starnes

Educators at Ward Melville High School are either woefully ignorant of the U.S. Constitution or they really don’t like Christian teenagers.

For the second year in a row, the Long Island, New York high school has denied students the right to form a Christian club.

“I feel like they have something against me and my faith,” 17-year-old John Raney told me. “I feel marginalized.”

John is the founder of Students United in Faith, a service-oriented Christian club. Nearly 20 young people wanted to join the club – but the school said no.

“I wanted to start the club because I thought it would provide a safe space for Christians to meet and talk about their faith,” he said.

As John noted, there aren’t many places like that in Long Island — especially at Ward Melville High School.

So here’s the back story:

Last year, the school pulled the same stunt. They banned John’s club because of its religious nature. Attorneys with Liberty Institute, a law firm specializing in religious liberty cases, stepped in and threatened to sue.

After a school district investigation, Superintendent Cheryl Pedisich reversed the ban and apologized to John.

She told television station WCBS the initial reason for rejection was “apparently inaccurately conveyed.”

And by “inaccurately conveyed” she means they got their hand caught in the religious liberty cookie jar.

Fast forward nine months later and the school once again is telling the Christian kids they aren’t welcome to co-mingle.

I called the school district to find out what was going on. They said they would get back to me. I’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, John said Assistant Principal Christian Losee cited a lack of student interest in the group as well as the school’s “financial limitations.” But those excuses did not hold water.

John said there were at least 17 students who wanted to participate in the club. That seems like a pretty respectable number. And if, in fact, the school had money trouble, why did they approve four new clubs this year?

So John picked up the phone and called Liberty Institute, a nationally known religious liberty law firm. “I cannot imagine why they would come back a second time to discriminate,” said attorney Hiram Sasser. “For some reason, Ward Melville High School does not want to follow the Equal Access law.”

Sasser fired off a letter to the school district demanding the Christian students be allowed to form their club.

“This is not a complicated issue,” Sasser wrote. “Simply put, public schools cannot discriminate against religious clubs and must treat them equally, and provide them equal access to school facilities, as non-religious clubs.”

Attorney Sasser was able to compile a list of all the school’s clubs – 33 in all. They’ve got everything from a fishing club to a ceramics club. They even have a Gay-Straight Alliance.

“They let all these other clubs meet with no problem whatsoever,” John told me. “But the second me and my friends mention faith or mention God, they get up in arms about it – like there’s something wrong with believing in these things.”

Sasser said the law is clear. It doesn’t matter if only two people wanted to join the Christian club – the school would have to accommodate them.

“If they allow the fishing club, they have to allow the Christian club, too,” he said. “They cannot exclude the Christian club.”

After what happened last year, I suspect the school knows that. It seems to me they’re just engaged in a bit of bullying and intimidation.

“It sends a chilling message to all faith groups – telling them the school views these clubs as not acceptable,” Sasser said.

John’s mom, Trudy Fischer, told me she’s proud that her son is sticking up for the club.

“I was really surprised in today’s age that children still have to stand up for their First Amendment rights,” she said. “Tolerance is really preached in their school. They talk about tolerance, but when it comes to this – there is no tolerance. They want to shut them up.

That’s right, Trudy. They want your son to shut up. They want to marginalize these young Christian teenagers and make them think there’s something inappropriate, something sleazy about their religious beliefs. But what’s truly sleazy is government-employed bigots continuing to bully Christian teens trying to do good deeds.

Hilarious Video: Tea Party Congressman Reads “Mean Tweets” From Haters

October 6, 2014 By TPNN Staff

Congressman Steve King (R-IA), a pro-liberty, pro-Constitution favorite among many in the Tea Party movement, made light of some of the more hateful tweets he has received on his Twitter account.

In his hilarious video, done in the familiar format of a comedic segment ran frequently on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rep. King reads several whoppers including, “You’re garbage. Cheers,” and the highly unintelligent argument from a typical lefty (or possible RINO) who just says, “You’re a butthead.”

Rep. King gets in a good dig on “Common Core” on one tweet from one poorly worded tweet, and even King’s wife, Marilyn enters to read a few and laugh along.

Making Harding Look Good. The Obama administration has tarnished nearly every major federal agency.

By Victor Davis Hanson ~ October 7, 2014 4:00 AM

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/389681/making-harding-look-good-victor-davis-hanson

Victor Davis Hanson

Many have described the Obama departure from the 70-year-old bipartisan postwar foreign policy of the United States as reminiscent of Jimmy Carter’s failed 1977–81 tenure. There is certainly the same messianic sense of self, the same naïveté, and the same boasts of changing the nature of America, as each of these presidents was defining himself as against supposedly unpopular predecessors. But the proper Obama comparison is not Carter, but rather Warren G. Harding. By that I mean not that Obama’s scandals have matched Harding’s, but rather that by any fair standard they have now far exceeded them and done far more lasting damage — and without Obama’s offering achievements commensurate with those that occasionally characterized Harding’s brief, failed presidency.

The lasting legacy of Obama will be that he has largely discredited the idea of big government, of which he was so passionate an advocate. Almost every major agency of the federal government, many of them with a hallowed tradition of bipartisan competence, have now been rendered either dysfunctional or politicized — or both — largely because of politically driven appointments of unqualified people, or ideological agendas that were incompatible with the agency’s mission.The list of scandals is quite staggering. In aggregate, it makes Harding’s Teapot Dome mess seem minor in comparison.

There is now no Border Patrol, at least as Americans have understood the agency whose job was enforcing federal immigration statutes. It died as an enforcement bureau sometime in 2013, not long after the reelection of Barack Obama, in a way that it could not have before the election. Instead, in Orwellian fashion, at a time of plague and terrorism abroad, it is now the Border-Crossing Enabling Service, whose chief task is facilitating the illegal entry of thousands from Latin America and Mexico, largely to further the political agenda of the Obama administration, contrary to the law, the will of Congress, and the wishes of the majority of the American people. Mention the phrase “immigration law” or “Border Patrol,” and Americans sigh that neither any longer exists. Yet such a perversion of the mission of a federal agency for political purposes has become thematic of this administration. Perhaps the end of border enforcement is emblemized best by Obama’s own uncle and late aunt, who in open defiance broke federal immigration law and did so with impunity, resided illegally in the United States, broke various state laws, and ended up either on public assistance or mired in the U.S. judicial system.

No one quite knows how to deal with the deadly threat of the Ebola virus. We can assume, however, that the Obama administration’s policy will be predicated foremost on some sort of predetermined ideological concern. Unlike many European countries, the United States still allows foreign nationals from countries with pandemics of Ebola to enter the country freely. What the administration has so far told us about Ebola — that a case here was unlikely, and then, after it happened, that probably only a handful of people had been exposed — was almost immediately proven false.

If this seems a harsh judgment, consider the policy of restricting flights to and from foreign countries because of national-security concerns. During the controversial Gaza War, the FAA ordered U.S. airlines to suspend flights to Ben Gurion Airport — the best protected airport in the world — supposedly because of a rocket that exploded in the general proximity of the facility. Hamas claimed the step as a psychological victory and proof of the efficacy of its strategy of targeting Israeli civilian centers, and as further evidence of growing U.S. anger at Israeli war conduct. In contrast, the FAA has not shut down flights to and from African countries in which Ebola has reached pandemic status. Which threat — a deadly virus or a stray rocket — posed the greatest danger to the American public? Perhaps if infected Liberian nationals send their child to Sidwell Friends, radical changes in FAA policy will follow; or, in contrast, if Israel had been gripped by an Ebola pandemic, then Americans might have been allowed to fly in and out of Ben Gurion.

The combination of Lois Lerner’s taking the Fifth Amendment and Barack Obama’s characterizing the IRS’s partisan targeting of conservatives as involving not a “smidgen” of corruption sum up the current status of the tax agency. So far no one has been held accountable for the corruption. Most Americans now assume that any high-profile political activity or contribution deemed inimical to the Obama administration will earn an audit or at least additional IRS scrutiny — a Machiavellian gambit that has discouraged contributions to conservative candidates. The agency that relies on voluntary tax compliance now holds taxpayers to standards of transparency, record-keeping, and honesty that it cannot itself meet. That too will be a lasting legacy of the Obama administration.

Eric Holder has politicized the Justice Department in a way not seen since the scandals of Nixon appointee John Mitchell. Holder’s prior ethical lapses – notably, as deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration, the disreputable eleventh-hour pardon for fugitive (and Democratic contributor) Marc Rich — were well known. But in less than six years, he has managed to trump them. Holder was held in contempt by Congress for withholding subpoenaed documents about the Fast and Furious scandal, and he editorialized on pending criminal cases, such as the Trayvon Martin and the Ferguson cases. He arbitrarily chose not to enforce existing laws, whether elements of Obamacare or immigration statutes. He was forced to pay back the government for using a Gulfstream to junket to the Belmont Stakes with family and friends. He sought to try terrorists in civilian courts, and he demonized the idea of Guantanamo, which earlier, when it was politically expedient, he had praised. He caricatured his critics and made race essential rather than incidental to his tenure (e.g., “my people,” “nation of cowards,” and the false charges of racism against critics of the administration) in a way that would have gotten anyone else fired. Had any other attorney general monitored reporters’ communications as Holder did those of AP reporters, and, even more so, James Rosen, he would also have been summarily dismissed. Even the media will not be able to prevent Holder’s legacy from being seen as one of the Justice Department’s no longer enforcing the law without prejudice, but instead choosing haphazard compliance in order to advance partisan ideas of social justice.

School Assignment on Islam Left This Mother in Disbelief

by Prissy Holly / on October 6, 2014 at 9:27 am

Jennette Hall, whose 10^th grade daughter attends Jenison Public School in Jenison, Michigan, was astonished after she saw the assignment her daughter received in her World History class on Islam.

School Assignment on Islam Left This Mother in Disbelief

The assignment directed students to make a pamphlet which would then be created to fit curriculum suitable for third graders.

“It was an assignment given to my 10th grade daughter in her World History class. The assignment was to make a pamphlet geared toward a third grade audience. They did not actually hand them out to third graders. This assignment upset me because they are teaching that Allah is the same God of the Christians and Jews. This paper, in my opinion, is promoting Islam by describing Allah’s names as beautiful. To me this is not simply factual as it should be. I have a meeting on Tuesday with the principle of Jenison High School to discuss my concerns.”

Not only was the assignment riddled with inaccuracies where it states that Christians, Jews, and all other religions worship the same “god” as Muslims, it is full of propaganda — stating that the Muslims’ god “Allah” is the “ONE and ONLY GOD.”

The assignment then goes on to paint the prophet Muhammad as the wonderful and peaceful messenger of “God” whose spiritual revelation produced Islam. They leave out the historical FACTS, however, that Muhammad was a mass murderer, terrorist, misogynist, cult leader, rapist, torturer, assassin, narcissist, and not to mention a pedophile — who married his child bride Aisha when she was just six years old.

Below is a the text version of the assignment the students received:

Part 1: Introducing Islam

Islam and Muslims- The name of this religion is Islam, the root of which is SILM and SALAM, which means “peace.” SALAM may also mean, greeting one another with peace. One of the beautiful names of god, is that he is the peace. It means more than that; submission to the ONE GOD, and to live in peace with the creator within oneself, with other people, and with the environment. Thus, Islam is a total system of living. A Muslim is supposed to live in peace and harmony with all these segments; hence, a Muslim is any person, anywhere in the world whose obedience, allegiance, and loyalty are to god, the LORD of the universe.

Part 2: Muslims and Arabs

The followers of Islam are called Muslims. Muslims are not to be confused with Arabs. Muslims may be Arabs, Turks, Persians, Indians, Pakistanis, Malaysians, Indonesians, Europeans, Africans, Americans, Chinese, or other nationalities.

An Arab could be a Muslim, a Christian, a Jew, or an Atheist. Any person who adopts the Arabic language is called an Arab. However, the language of the “Quran” the holy book of Islam, is Arabic. Muslims all over the world try to learn Arabic so that they can read the Quran and understand its meaning. They pray in the language of the Quran; namely, Arabic.

Supplications to god to be in any language. While there are 1 billion Muslims in the world, there are about 200 million Arabs. Among them, approximately about 10 percent are not Muslim. Thus, Arab Muslims constitute only about 20 percent of the Muslim population of the world.

Part 3: Allah The One and the Only God

Allah is the name of the one and only god. Allah has 99 beautiful names, such as: the gracious, the merciful, the beneficent, the creator, the all-knowing, the all-wise, the lord of the universe, the first, the last, and others.

He is the creator of all human beings. He is the god for the Christians, the Jews, the Muslims, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the Atheists, and others. Muslims worship God whose name is “Allah.” They put their trust in him, and they seek his trust and his guidance.

Part 4: Muhammad

Muhammad was chosen by God to deliver his message of peace, namely Islam. He was born in 570 CE (Common Era) in Makkah, Arabia. He was trusted with the message of Islam when he was at the age of 40 years. The revelation that he received is called the Quran, while the message is called Islam.

Are you outraged yet? It looks as though the mom is handling the situation adequately so far, with her plans to pay the principal of the school a little visit and voice her concerns. If students are taught anything about Islam, it should be based on facts and current events. If the school wants to show the truth about Islam, perhaps they should show the students a couple of beheading videos so they can see first hand what this “peaceful” religion is truly all about.

Obama Lies And Americans Die

Written by Pat Henry on October 5, 2014

http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/obama-lies-americans-die/

Those of you who have not been asleep for the past six years are painfully familiar with the never ending stream of lies that emanate from this president. It would take an entire column to even begin to scratch the surface, but I will mention a few to jog your memories:

“You can keep your current health insurance plan”

“The AHCA will reduce premiums by $2500”

“Not even a smidgeon of corruption” – to Bill O’Reilly when asked about the IRS scandal

Benghazi violence was caused by an internet video & demonstrations – maintained despite the fact that the White House knew, and had been warned, that it was a terrorist attack, and in fact had a live TV feed from a drone during the attack.

“My budget will cut the deficit by $4 Trillion over 10 years”

I could go on forever, but you get the point. More recently he has been endangering the security of our nation with his lies. A current one is that ISIS/ISIL/IS/Khorosan Group or whatever Obama is calling them this week is a “JV” group that poses no threat to the Middle East, let alone America.

He famously told us in his second year of office that a fence on our Southern boarder was “nearly complete”. His own Department of Homeland Security, however, said it was only 5% completed. Recently we have seen illegals pouring into the country, and instead of turning them back, he is actually resettling them all over the country, making them somehow the financial responsibility of the US.

Reports from some of these sites confirm that these illegal aliens are bringing disease and pestilence with them. Naturally, as a human being, one has sympathy for these people and for the suffering peoples of nations all over the world, but where does it say that they have a “right” to come to this country and live off the few people who are still working?

Now, however, the illnesses and crime that are coming in with the illegals pales when compared with that of the ebola virus. Just weeks ago, Obama visited the CDC and assured us that the chance of ebola coming to this country was remote at best. He assured us that all precautions were being taken to ensure that the virus was contained in Africa, and that we would send a team of soldiers (?) over there to eradicate it. I guess they were going to shoot those pesky viruses. Well Pinocchio, ebola is here.

But what about all the measures we were taking? Turns out that the “measures” was a questionnaire at the airport. What happened was that a man who was completely knowledgeable of the fact that he had the disease, since everyone he lived with was sick or had died from it, decided to be less than candid on his questionnaire. He then took a plane, exposed the passengers, exposed people where he laid over in Brussels and at Dulles here in D.C., and then in Dallas.

He went to the hospital in Dallas, told them he was from Nigeria, told them he had been exposed to ebola, and that he had ebola-like symptoms, and they concluded that he had a simple case of the flu. They sent him home to infect his girlfriend and four children, who in turn very likely passed it on to their contacts.

He had such a fever that he literally soaked the bed, and such vomiting and bleeding that he couldn’t walk, necessitating calling 911 and exposing those people as well.

This man was the opposite of a hero. He knew he was sick, he knew that the virus had a huge mortality rate, and decided in an attempt to save himself that he would risk and probably kill untold numbers of people, perhaps beginning an epidemic or pandemic himself. He is laughingly being sought by the Liberian government for lying on his questionnaire, and will face prosecution if he lives that long.

Still, one can understand that a person who knows he will die if he doesn’t receive treatment (albeit there is none of the experimental drug remaining) can become desperate and do morally reprehensible things. What we cannot understand is how President Obama, ostensibly charged with the protection of the people of the United States, does nothing to stop the spread of this disease.

In an interview this morning on FOX News (which you can read here), Obama lackey CDC Director Tom Frieden told Brian Kilmeade, “I wish we could get to zero risk by sealing off the border. But we can’t.

The only way we are going to get to zero risk in this country is by controlling it in Africa. Until that happens, Americans may come back with Ebola. Other people who have a right to return or a visa to enter may come back. People will go to third countries and come from there. Sealing them off – first off won’t work.

Second off, it will backfire. Because if we can’t get help in there, then we’re not going to be able to stop the outbreak and ultimately we will end up at higher risk, not lower risk.”

I have heard some dumb statements from this administration, but this one has to top the list, and have the potential for killing the most people. Any soldier knows that in the case of a biological attack you identify the soldiers by their symptoms and then you isolate them.

This is a basic tenet of public health. In this case, the West African nations know that quarantine (isolation) is necessary to prevent the spread of disease and untold sickness and death, and are doing it themselves.

For us, the first thing we should have done, and should belatedly do, is to close the borders. Nobody to or from West Africa. Would that absolutely prevent ebola from arriving here? Probably not, but it would sure go a long way. Frieden, however, is saying, “It won’t absolutely stop it, so we are not going to even try.”

Huh? That reminds me of abstinence education used to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and thus abortions. Abstinence works 100% of the time, whereas other methods of birth control for multiple reasons do not. Some 56 million aborted babies would attest to that if they could. But abstinence education is not a part of the administration’s plan for this problem, because controlling people’s sexual drives is not part of the liberal agenda. It is, in fact, anathema to it. So they don’t try it.

Obama will not stop flights to and from West Africa, and will not close the borders, because like abstinence education, it is not part of the liberal agenda. Open borders and free influx of anyone who decides they want to come to America is a keynote of the Obama presidency, from which he has backed off only slightly recently, temporarily pocketing his pen and phone until after the November elections.

Any idea the public might get that something could be accomplished by closing the borders would jeopardize his amnesty plans, and that cannot be allowed to happen. So, as with the problem with illegal immigration, he will not try closing the borders.

The lack of a plan to combat ebola is as striking as his lack of a plan to combat militant jihadi Islam. The only existing plan, it would appear, is to pretend that the threat does not exist. These responses, or lack of responses, are simply a part of the political correctness that enshrouds liberals, with Obama as their poster boy.

Their response to anything depends entirely on how that response fits into their agenda and how they think it will affect the welfare of the democrat party. For this administration, open borders for more democrat voters trumps public health and possible the worst pandemic in history.

Associated Press Published October 12, 2014

CAIRO – The United States is promising $212 million in immediate assistance to the Palestinians as part of an international effort to rebuild the Gaza Strip after this summer’s 50-day war.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says people in Gaza “need our help desperately — not tomorrow, not next week, but they need it now.”

He announced the new money at a donor conference for the Palestinians in Cairo.

The Palestinians are seeking $4 billion in international aid.

“Al Franken (D-Minn.) is in the United States Senate because of voter fraud,” he explained. “He won that contest by 312 votes, but there were 1,099 illegal votes cast by felons. Every single felon who was contacted by the Minnesota media said that he voted for Al Franken.”

He noted, “So we have a senator in the U.S. Senate because of voter fraud, and guess what? That senator was the 60th vote for Obamacare. So we actually have Obamacare because of voter fraud,” he said.

“That’s how Al Franken won the election, because all of these felons showed up to vote,” he said. “They registered to vote but they weren’t eligible to. So Election Day registration makes it hard to police the validity of who’s casting ballots.”

It’s a bold statement to make that Christians may be unwittingly hastening America’s transformation but it needs to be said.

Most Christians would be shocked to think that they had anything to do with negatively impacting the country that they love so much and have, in many cases, even fought to protect.

For far too long now, many Christians have chosen to stay home instead of getting out to vote in national, state, and local elections. The reasons vary for their apathy, but commonly there are two factors which keep Christians home.

While I am not a Biblical scholar, I know one thing for certain and that is the Bible is not filled with a lot of indifference or the absence of actions taken by Christians.

Certainly, Christ didn’t raise Lazarus from the dead by choosing not to travel to Bethany. Christ was anything but apathetic. He stood for truth and continued to speak out until the day He was crucified. He was and is a model for Christians to follow.

By not voting, Christians are tacitly showing their approval or at least not voicing their opposition to this highly controversial issue.

Freedom of choice allows all of us to continue to shape this country and this world. This does not mean taking away the rights of others in the process. What it does mean, however, and what history has shown us is that we are obligated to be preservers of the truth and freedom until the very end.

Christians may hold the key to stopping or at least slowing the transformation of this country into an unrecognizable nation. Taking no action guarantees that we will continue to see our constitutional rights eroded and our right to speak out as Christians eventually suppressed.

Choose this election season to make a difference for yourself, your children, and others! Get out and vote

SHTF Plan — October 10, 2014

Read more at http://joeforamerica.com/2014/10/border-patrol-agent-slams-feds-know-weve-captured-cant-keep-kind-information-secret/

“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the Southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,” said DHS spokesperson Marsha Catron.

“DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.”

A border patrol agent told the Examiner Wednesday evening that he knew of at least four ISIS insurgents that have been captured this past week.

“There could be more,” he said. “All I know is we (the border patrol agents) know what we see and do, even if the Feds don’t want to acknowledge it.”

“We have stepped up our searches on vehicles, under, over and all-around because we believe they may be trying to bring in explosive bombs and devices,” the agent said.

“Why would we be so cautious if the possibility was not there?”

“We all know who we have captured,” he continued. “As much as they want it quiet, you can’t keep this kind of information a secret very long. We have families here.”

The problem as I see it… and as apparently CDC, Health and Human Services, and Department of Homeland Security… are trying to make this a controlled situation.

They’re anticipating a large national crisis.

When you see that FEMA is preparing for 200 million deaths in the United States that tells you something.

When you see that the government is controlling the supply of ammunition and that basic medical supplies are in short supply in southern Arizona, something’s wrong.

They are anticipating something drastic.
