Fox reports:
Some 102,313 Syrians were granted admission to the U.S. as legal permanent residents or through programs including work, study and tourist visas from 2012 through August of this year, a period which roughly coincides with the devastating civil war that still engulfs the Middle Eastern country. Experts say any fears that terrorists might infiltrate the proposed wave of refugees from United Nations-run camps should be dwarfed by the potential danger already here.
“The sheer number of people arriving on all kinds of visas and with green cards, and possibly U.S. citizenship, makes it impossible for our counterterrorism authorities to keep track of them all, much less prevent them from carrying out attacks or belatedly try to deport them,” said Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies.
If the potential for ISIS to come in with the 10,000, it would then be ten times more likely that they are already here. They could have come in as anyone, and there would be no way for us to vet them.
Fox continues:
“It is highly unlikely that the 102,313 Syrians who were
admitted over the past three years were effectively vetted,” said spokesman Ira Mehlman, of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. “Even in countries where we have a strong diplomatic presence, the sheer volume of background checks being carried out precludes the kind of thorough vetting that is necessary.”
So, instead of looking forward to 10,000 potential terrorists, we have to worry about the over 100,000 that have already come since the war in Syria began. But how are they getting in if not through the refugee program which is not yet in effect?
Fox reports:
The Syrians being admitted are coming directly from their homeland, usually through the U.S. visa program, as opposed to the refugees President Obama is seeking to take in through U.N.-run refugee camps. Most have secured legal entry before they arrive.
Those who escaped Syria’s grinding civil war, which has killed an estimated 300,000, and made it to the U.S. are more likely to be those with the money and means to access the U.S. immigration bureaucracy, say experts. But even that system is susceptible to fraud.
Fox added:
Mehlman said the same concerns raised in regard to the refugees – mainly that no reliable documents can be issued in a country in complete meltdown – apply to the Syrians already here.
“All civil order has collapsed, and meaningful background checks are impossible,” Mehlman said. “Instead, we rely on cross-checking databases. However, many people with ties to terrorist groups are not in any databases, which means there is no way we can identify them before they arrive here.”

On December 15, 2015, the Maryland Coalition for Life reports that Carhart, who is nationally known for being one of the few abortion providers to conduct third trimester elective abortions, accompanied a patient in the ambulance as she was rushed away to receive emergency help for what appeared to be an abortion-related emergency.

Put another way by our antinomian commander-in-chief: “[I}t’s … important for all of us, including our legislatures” to “make it a little harder for ” miscreants to carry out violent acts with guns.
The malfeasant Obama, and the Leftist, self-defense-sapping agitprop he and his party embrace, strike directly at the heart of a principle smoldering beneath the entire debate: human beings’ right to protect themselves, their loved ones and others when potentially lethal danger looms. 
at worst, they candidly snarl at it. (Then again, denizens of Liberal precincts habitually give short shrift to principle whenever it inconveniences their vast, soul-shriveling, liberty-quenching schemes.)Meanwhile, there’s a sizable cohort of citizens who’d very much appreciate being permitted to protect themselves and their families unhindered; who, in fact, regard it a sacred duty to do so. Robert Knight snarkily made the point in a recent Washington Times column: “You mean we’re allowed to resist criminals or terrorists? All by
ourselves?”
Two millenia ago, a fellow named Paul leveled the harshest possible denunciation at neglecters of hearth-n-home (1 Timothy 5:8). You’ve gotta wonder what he’d think — furthermore, what our founding titans would think — of a government regime eager to make it as difficult as possible for persons to obtain the basic means of safeguarding their households
This is not just a pragmatic issue — it’s a moral one. 
Voters have grown numbingly accustomed to the gargantuan arrogance of the statists, but this deathless dispute over “the right to keep and bear arms” offers a helpful refresher: Think about it! Current firearm laws regularly force hard-working citizens, responsible parents, concerned business owners to cower, cap in hand, before a tribunal of elected and appointed State agents, begging leave to bolster their security and peace of mind. These officials, meanwhile, are forever hoisting another hurdle to surmount, concocting one more hoop to jump through, for Americans concerned about their and their families’ safety.. 
Furthermore, the multiplicity and complexity of these regulatory obstacles effectively neutralize thousands of citizens’ 2A rights. Under the pummeling of bureaucratic dithering, vertiginous paperwork, unjustified delays and daunting fees, the owning of — and ability to use — a firearm becomes, functionally, prohibitive.
Did you hear about Carol Browne — the Berlin Township, New Jersey woman who, fearing her ex-con ex-boyfriend Michael Eitel, filed both a restraining order against him and an application for a firearms permit? Although the Garden State maintains some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, requests are supposed to be processed within a month. That deadline had passed and Browne was still awaiting her permit in June of 2015 — six weeks after applying for it — when Eitel attacked her in her own driveway, stabbing her to death.
The gun-phobic obsessives, however, can breath a sigh of relief — at least she died without possessing one of those devilish firearms which cause them so much sleeplessness.
One employer/rental-property owner I know, also residing in a northeastern state, applied for a handgun in his town and waited over a year to get the legal go-ahead. Over one year! Fortunately, while paper-pushers dawdled over his case, he didn’t meet the same fate as poor Carol Browne.
Or take the unconstitutionally intolerable situation in our nation’s capital where, for years, the District has been, to quote Bob Knight again, “stacking the legal deck against gun ownership.” In that city of well
over 650,000 residents, only about 1600 semi-automatic handguns had been registered between June 2008 and January 2013; since October 2014, a mere forty-eight permits have been approved. By the way, even if one ultimately snags a rare firearms license, D.C.’s law magnanimously grants the weapon can never leave the licensee’s domicile; it certainly can’t be carried onto the street. Armed or unarmed, then, law-honoring habitués of Washington, D.C. are essentially rendered sitting ducks for rod-packing hoodlums who’ve no intention of bothering with legal niceties.
Second Amendment Foundation president Alan M. Gottlieb summarizes: “Cumbersome firearms regulations have never prevented criminals from getting their hands on guns. They have only inconvenienced law-abiding citizens, or deprived them outright from exercising their rights under the Second Amendment.”(emphasis added). Ted Cruz put it even more succinctly at a recent South Carolina town hall, “You don’t stop the bad guys by taking away our guns; you stop the bad guys by using our guns.”
Contrast that situation with a freshly minted court ruling in Puerto Rico — a constitutionally, legally and morally
upright ruling — which junked the territory’s firearms registry and licensing requirements altogether. The finding identified the Second Amendment, all by its lonesome, sufficient warrant for open or concealed carry.
For many, liberty to keep and bear arms plausibly implicates literal life and death concerns. Newsflash: stripping decision-taking about such matters from individuals and depositing it into the hands of box-checking functionaries is an affront to fundamental decency; just plain wrong by any measurement. Which is why I reject any broadening or intensifying of the 2A-hampering status quo — no matter the “sensibleness” of whatever regulation du jour has captured firearm-haters’ fancy. “Make it a little harder”? I’ll pass — rights-cramping laws are obnoxious enough already, thank you very much.
Determining whether or not I can be adequately equipped to protect my family? Sorry, legislators, political appointees and law-enforcement authorities — that ain’t your call. The Bill of Rights — and more importantly my heart — settled that question a long time ago.

Thursday, 17 Dec 2015 04:06 PMURL of the original posting site: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/US-pharmaceutical-fraud-investigation/2015/12/17/id/706284/#ixzz3uiDghzcT
The former hedge fund manager, 32, is accused of stealing $11 million in what the FBI described as a “securities fraud trifecta of lies, deceit and greed.” Prosecutors said the scheme involved another company he once led, Retrophin, and two hedge funds.
“As alleged, Martin Shkreli engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit,” said Robert Capers, US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
“His plots were matched only by efforts to conceal the fraud, which led him to operate his companies, including a publicly traded company, as a Ponzi scheme, where he used the assets of the new entity to pay off debts from the old entity.”
It began in 2009 when Shkreli allegedly lied to eight people to get them to invest about $3 million in his hedge fund, Capers told a press conference. When he lost the money through “bad trades” he started a new fund to try to cover the losses and continue to line his pockets.
Shkreli was also charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Over a five-year period, Shkreli is alleged to have perpetrated a series of frauds on investors in his hedge funds and Retrophin’s shareholders in order to cover up his poor trading decisions,” said Andrew Ceresney, director of the SEC’s enforcement division.
Shkreli is accused of siphoning about $120,000 from one of the hedge funds to pay for food, clothing, rent and other personal expenses. He is also accused of lying to investors about one of the fund’s size and performance by claiming returns of nearly 36 percent when it had really generated a loss of 18 percent and saying the fund had $35 million in assets when it really had less than $7,000.
He allegedly stole $900,000 in 2013 from one of the funds to settle with a broker who was suing him and stole more money to pay off disgruntled investors who were threatening legal action.
Also arrested was Evan Greebel, a lawyer who was outside counsel to Retrophin.
Shkreli gained notoriety in September when his company Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of Daraprim from $13.50 a tablet to $750 after acquiring the drug. The move — and his arrogant response to the controversy — was angrily denounced by US politicians.
“Price gouging like this in the specialty drug market is outrageous,” Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton said on Twitter, vowing to fight runaway drug prices.
Turing later announced that while it would not lower the drug’s per tablet price, it would negotiate agreements with health groups on wholesale prices.
Shkreli, the chief executive of the company, specializes in buying patents on inexpensive drugs and then hiking their price. In November, he gained control of another drug company, Kalobios Pharmaceuticals, whose stock price plummeted on news of his arrest, falling 53.24 percent to $11.03 before trading was suspended.
Reveling in controversy, Shkreli made waves earlier this month by buying a secret Wu-Tang Clan album for $2 million, “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.”
Turing Pharmaceuticals did not immediately return a request for comment.

“The Republicans squandered that – they gave up the power of the purse,” Limbaugh said. “And the reason they did that is for some inexplicable reason they are literally paranoid, scared to death of even being accused of doing something that would shut down the government. So to avoid even the accusation that they were going to or would even ever think of shutting down the government – they signaled whatever Obama wanted to spend, he would get because they figured that had less damage to them politically than the allegation that they were shutting down the government.”
Limbaugh pointed out the continuing of funding for ObamaCare, Planned Parenthood, climate change and the effort to locate Syrian migrants to the United States in addition to expansion of certain visa programs.
“This is causing some people to wonder if they just dreamed all that stuff about Boehner resigning,” he said. “And then other people are wondering if they dreamed all that stuff about Republicans winning the largest number of seats they’ve had in Congress since the Civil War. We had two midterm elections in 2010 and 2014, which were landslide victories for the Republican Party. The Democrat Party lost over a 1,000 seats nationwide in just those two elections. People went to polls in droves wanting exactly what was rubber stamped last night, or what will be, stopped. Instead, they showed up in record numbers and they turned out and they just defeated Democrats down the ballot.”
“In the process, they elected Republicans to stop this,” Limbaugh continued. “And now the Republicans have the largest number of seats they’ve had in Congress since the Civil War. And it hasn’t made any difference at all. It is as though Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is still running the House and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) is still running the Senate. Betrayed is not even the word here. What has happened here is worse than betrayal. Betrayal is pretty bad, but it is worse than that. This is out and out in our face lying from the campaigns to individual statements made about the philosophical approach – Republicans had to do all this spending. There is no Republican Party. We don’t even need a Republican Party if they’re going to do all of this. Just elect Democrats. Disband the Republican Party, let the Democrats run it because that’s what’s happening anyway.”

Jeb’s In Trouble | Political Cartoon | A.F. Branco

Posted by B. Christopher Agee December 17, 2015Amy Basel reportedly passed by the Spring Hill McDonald’s and noticed not only the traditional manger scene adorning the restaurant’s street-facing windows, but an explicitly religious message.

“His name is Jesus,” one window’s message proclaimed.
Another decorative statement encouraged visitors to “rejoice.”
As of this writing, roughly 36,000 Facebook users have shared the image. Among the thousands of comments Basel has received in the two days since posting the status update are numerous kind wishes to the McDonald’s staff responsible for displaying the biblical message.
“Thank you McDonald’s for taking a stand,” one commenter wrote. “You have made my whole year! I am so proud of you for the stand you took was for Christ our Lord.”
Some social media users encouraged other businesses to follow suit, while others recognized local merchants who already embrace the faith-based component of the season.
At least a few critics, however, suggested that the Christians applauding this business would not be so open-minded were its owners of a different faith.
“I’d love to hear all of those ‘freedom of religion’ folks [sic] tunes if this business was owned and decorated by people of Muslim faith,” one user wrote. “Y’all are always so accepting of religion until it’s one that isn’t your own!”

Though much of the public attention has surrounded the President’s 2014 executive amnesty, the President’s 2012 amnesty quietly continues to churn out work permits and federal benefits for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. Paul Ryan’s bill funds entirely this 2012 executive amnesty for “DREAMers”—or illegal immigrants who came to the country as minors.
Specifically, Division F of Ryan’s omnibus bill contains no language that would prohibit the use of funds to continue the President’s unconstitutional program. Obama’s executive action, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), has granted around 700,000 illegal aliens with work permits, as well as the ability to receive tax credits and federal entitlement programs. A recent GAO report documented how this illegal amnesty program for alien youth is, in large part, responsible for the illegal alien minor surge on our southern border.
In 2013, Paul Ryan said that it is his job as a U.S. lawmaker to put himself in the shoes of “the DREAMer who is waiting” and work to find legislative solutions to his or her problems.
Five months ago, 32-year-old Kate Steinle was bleeding to death in her father’s arms. She was gunned down in broad daylight by a five-time deported criminal alien whose presence in the country was the direct result of San Francisco’s refusal to comply with U.S. immigration law—yet Paul Ryan’s omnibus rewards these lawless Sanctuary Cities with federal grants. Division B Title II of Ryan’s omnibus funds various grant programs for the Department of Justice (pages 167, 168, and 169) and contains no language that would restrict the provision of such grants to sanctuary jurisdictions.
In a Congressional hearing, Steinle’s father demanded Congressional action and recalled his daughter’s dying words: “Help me, Dad.”
Despite broad support amongst Republican lawmakers for a proposal introduced by Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) to halt all refugee resettlement, Ryan’s appropriations bill will fund President Obama’s refugee resettlement operation and will allow for the admission of tens of thousands of refugees with access to federal benefits. Division H Title II of Ryan’s bill contains appropriations of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and contains no language that would restrict the program. Nor are there any restrictions for the program in Division K of Ryan’s bill, which provides funding for the Department of State, which oversees refugee admissions.
Ryan is not one of the 84 cosponsors of Babin’s bill to halt the refugee operation, and he recently told Sean Hannity that he does not support halting resettlement because, “We’re a compassionate country. The refugees laws are important laws.” Similarly, this outcome represents a legislative win for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who told Sean Hannity he’d “hate to use” Congress’s power of the purse to deny funding for Obama’s resettlement operation. 
Although multiple immigrant and visa programs in recent years have been exploited by terrorists (such as the F-1 “student” visa, the K-1 “fiancée” visa, and our green card and refugee programs), Ryan’s proposal does nothing to limit admissions from jihadist-prone regions. As Senators Shelby and Sessions of Alabama noted in a joint statement: “The omnibus would put the U.S. on a path to approve admission for hundreds of thousands of migrants from a broad range of countries with jihadists movements over the next 12 months, on top of all the other autopilot annual immigration.”
On page 917 of Ryan’s omnibus a section titled “Refugee and Entrant Assistance” funds the President’s resettlement of illegal immigrant border crossers.
Senior legislative aides tell Breitbart News that Ryan’s bill does not do anything to change the enforcement priorities that Jeh Johnson established a little over a year ago that would shield entire categories of criminal aliens from immigration law, nor does it include language recommended by Sessions and Shelby to “deny the expenditure of funds to issue visas to countries that refuse to repatriate criminal aliens.”
Despite Ryan’s pledge not to move an immigration compromise with President Obama, tucked 700 pages into
Ryan’s spending bill is language that would resuscitate and expand a controversial provision of the Schumer-Rubio Gang of Eight plan to increase the H-2B visa program.
The provision “would quadruple the number of H-2B visas for unskilled guest workers, for a total of more than 250,000,” writes immigration attorney Ian Smith. The Americans who fill these jobs are typically “society’s most vulnerable — including single women, the disabled, the elderly, minorities, teenagers, students, and first-generation immigrants,” Smith explains.
A recent BuzzFeed exposé revealed how this program allows businesses to discriminate against American workers and “deliberately den[y] jobs to American workers so they can hire foreign workers on H-2 visas instead.” As one GOP aide told Breitbart News, “This provision is a knife in the heart of the working class, and African Americans.”
Ryan’s bill preserves the expansion of the President’s expiring child tax credits without any accompanying language to prevent illegal aliens from receiving those tax credits. While Sen. Sessions attempted to include language in the bill that would prevent illegal immigrants from receiving tax credits, his recommendation was rejected.
The bill funds the Obama-Boehner budget deal, which eliminated spending caps, and will increase both defense and non-defense spending next year by $25 billion more each.
Nearly a decade ago with the passage of the 2006 Secure Fence Act, the American people were promised a 700-mile double-layer border fence. However, funding for the fence was later gutted and, as a result, its construction was never completed. Despite heightened media focus over the past six months about Americans’ desire for this barrier to illegal entry, Ryan’s bill does not require that funds be allocated to finish the construction of the 700-mile double-layer fence.
A vote could occur as early as Thursday after midnight, giving lawmakers and the public only one full business day to review the 2,242 page package. The Ryan-Pelosi package represents nothing short of a complete and total betrayal of the American people.
Yet Ryan’s omnibus serves a second and equally chilling purpose. By locking in the President’s refugee, immigration, and spending priorities, Ryan’s bill is designed to keep these fights out of Congress by getting them off the table for good. Delivering Obama these wins–and pushing these issues beyond the purview of Congress–will suppress public attention to the issues and, in so doing, will boost the candidacy of the Republican establishment’s preferred presidential contenders, who favor President Obama’s immigration agenda.
What may prove most discouraging of all to Americans is that recent reports reveal that conservatives in the so-called House Freedom Caucus are praising Ryan even as he permanently locks in these irreversible and anti-American immigration policies. According to Politico, the House Freedom Caucus will “give Ryan a pass” even as he funds disastrous policies that prioritize the interests of foreign nationals and global corporatists above the needs of the American people whom lawmakers are supposed to represent.

Vogue Tells Teens to Go to Planned Parenthood: “It Will Make a Difference in Your Lives”
Not long ago, I wrote a blog on the Huffington Post offering free advertising for Planned Parenthood – disguised as news and advice. Now, it looks like Teen Vogue has taken a page from the “free advertising for Planned Parenthood” book by writing their own lengthy advertisement – I mean, “news” article. Literally, the entire piece is like a written public service announcement for Planned Parenthood.

Those pesky lunar calendars! Having Islam’s 354-day calendar must make it really hard to plan holidays. The timing shifts around. And you need an official spokesperson to announce the actual timing of special days.
It will be celebrated soon, according to an official release by UAE. It was announced all the way back on December 13th. (Because, I guess, calendars are hard.) What day have they picked for the celebration? December 24th. I’ll admit, it snuck up on me. I forgot all about it. Haven’t picked up the party decorations or anything. Are you ready for
the festivities? How does one even celebrate Milaad?
Is there a Hallmark card for such an occasion? A picture of … hmmm. Well, not a picture of THAT, obviously. Maybe it has lovely pictures of wildlife? Or camels? Maybe a Danish Cartoonist?
Is there some equivalent to “the Night Before Christmas” that people read for the occasion? Something by Salman Rushdie perhaps?
Other religions retell the important stories of their heroes. Jewish people celebrate their flight from Egypt. Christians have pageants. Does Islam have some equivalent story they like to tell?
Maybe the slaughter Mohammed led after the “Battle of the Trench”? You know… the one where somewhere between 300 to 900 men and barely-pubescent boys were beheaded by Muhammed and his men. (After that, of course, they plundered their women and property.)
Is there special festive music? Maybe we could play Jeff Dunham’s “Jingle Bombs” bit by Achmed the Dead Terrorist?
All kidding aside, the same nation that denounces CAIR a terrorist group invites people to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet of the Sword from the alleged religion of peace.
Will the same people who denounce free yoga class in University now complain that Islam is ‘co-opting’ Christian traditions and holidays ? Nope. Because to many, the “beautiful religion” is somehow beyond criticism.
But Freedom of Speech includes the freedom to criticize — fairly, yes, but cheap shots too. To ask hard questions about connections between the ideological worldview associated with Islam, and some of humanity’s least human behaviour.
It includes the right to say their system is objectively flawed. To declare that killing rape victims is genuinely wicked. That selling girls into sexual slavery is a war crime. To say that your alleged Allah is not greater than anything whatsoever… and his followers themselves are the best evidence of that opinion. Like the time when your guys crashed a Christmas party in San Bernardino, and it didn’t end well.
We will not be celebrating your Milaad. We have better plans. For us, Dec 24th is Christmas Eve. We shall be celebrating the Birth of Christ.
Because, by every possible metric, Jesus of Nazareth, the Prince of Peace stands head and shoulders above your guy.

The Riverheads High School calligraphy assignment (Courtesy The Schilling Show)
The school district convened a meeting on Dec. 11th to discuss the assignment with outraged parents.
“Neither these lessons, nor any other lesson in the world geography course, are an attempt at indoctrination to Islam or any other religion, or a request for students to renounce their own faith or profess any belief,” the district said in a statement provided to Fox News.
The Muslim-friendly calligraphy assignment took place in a world geography class. The teacher had the kids copy the Muslim statement of faith, also known as the shahada. Parents told The Schilling Show that their children were not given the translation of what they were writing. In other words, there were more than likely a few Christian teenagers in that room who had no idea they were writing, “There is no god but Allah.”
But the school district doesn’t seem to think that’s a problem.
“The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief,” the district stated. They said it was all about the art — not about the theology.
“They were simply asked to attempt to artistically render written Arabic in order to understand its artistic complexity,” they stated.
The district said the assignment was consistent with the Virginia Department of Education Standards of Learning and the requirements for content instruction on world monotheistic religions.
And what about having the female students dressing up in Islamic garb — is that consistent with the state mandates, too?
The district said the students were taught about the “modest dress adopted by many in the Islamic faith and were invited to try on a scarf as a part of an interactive lesson about the Islamic concept of modest dress.”
“The scarf used in the activity was not an actual Islamic religious hijab,” the district stated.
The district said they also cover other religions — including Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism.
However, one parent told The Schilling Show that while the Koran was presented to students, the Bible was not. The teacher reportedly declined to provide a Bible because all the students have either read or seen a Bible.
The district said there’s really not a controversy here. They just wanted students to participate in “hands-on activities intended to give them a better objective understanding of the region and its culture (including its religions and to allow for interactive learning.”
Perhaps the next time the kids at Riverheads High School practice their calligraphy skills they can learn a new word — “indoctrination.”

Sessions, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, and other conservative lawmakers have warned against passing a spending bill that does not place limitations on admissions — in particular refugee admission — to the U.S.
“Congress must cancel the President’s blank refugee check and put Congress back in charge of the program. We cannot allow the President to unilaterally decide how many refugees he wishes to admit, nor continue to force taxpayers to pick up the tab for the tens of billions of unpaid-for welfare and entitlement costs,” Sessions and Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), the chairman of the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations subcommittee, said in a joint statement last week.
The pair added that passing the spending deal without limiting language “would put the U.S. on a path to approve admission for hundreds of thousands of migrants from a broad range of countries with jihadists movements over the next 12 months, on top of all the other autopilot annual immigration – absent language to reduce the numbers.”
The Sessions aide noted that the 30 examples are listed represented just a “partial” inventory of recently implicated terrorist migrants.
Read the list:
-A refugee from Uzbekistan was convicted of providing material support and money to a designated foreign terrorist organization. According to the Department of Justice, he also procured bomb-making materials in the interest of perpetrating a terrorist attack on American soil. (August 2015)
-An immigrant from Albania, who applied for and received Lawful Permanent Resident status, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for giving over $1,000 to terrorist organizations in Afghanistan, and for attempting to join a radical jihadist insurgent group in Pakistan. (August 2015)
-An immigrant from Egypt, who subsequently was granted U.S. citizenship, was charged with providing, and conspiring to provide, material support to ISIS, for aiding and abetting a New York college student in receiving terrorist training from ISIS, and conspiring to receive such training. (August 2015)
-An immigrant from India, who applied for and received Lawful Permanent Resident status by virtue of his marriage to an American citizen, was indicted in federal court on charges of conspiring to provide thousands of dollars to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in order to assist them in their global jihad, and on one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. (November 2015)
-A second immigrant from India, who is married to a U.S. citizen, and who is the brother of the individual listed above, was also indicted on charges of conspiring to provide thousands of dollars to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in order to assist them in their global jihad, and on one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud. (November 2015)
-An immigrant from Pakistan, who entered the United States on a fiancé visa, and subsequently became a Lawful Permanent Resident, along with her husband, killed 14 people at a Christmas party, and wounded two dozen, in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since September 11, 2001. (December 2015)
-The son of Pakistani immigrants, along with his Pakistan bride, murdered 14 coworkers, and wounded two dozen, in that same terrorist attack. His Pakistani-born father has since been placed on the no-fly list.
-An immigrant from Syria, who applied for and received Lawful Permanent Resident status, and then subsequently applied for and received U.S. citizenship, was charged with smuggling night-vision goggles and rifle scopes from America to a Syrian rebel group that fights alongside and allies itself with an al-Qaeda affiliate. (December 2015)
-A Somali-American was arrested after encouraging several friends to leave the United States and join ISIS, and giving one individual over $200 for their passport application. (December 2015)
-An immigrant from Bangladesh, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, tried to incite people to travel to Somalia and conduct violent jihad against the United States. (June 2014)
-An immigrant from Ghana, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, pledged allegiance to ISIS and plotted a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. (June 2015)
-An immigrant from Sudan, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, tried to join ISIS and wage jihad on its behalf after having been recruited online. (June 2015)
-A Bosnian refugee, along with his wife and five others, donated money and supplies, and smuggled arms, to terrorist organizations in Syria and Iraq. (February 2015)
-An immigrant from Yemen, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, along with six other men, was charged with conspiracy to travel to Syria and to provide material support to ISIS. (April 2015)
-A Somali immigrant with lawful permanent resident status, along with four other Somali nationals, is charged with leading an al-Shabaab fundraising conspiracy in the United States, with monthly payments directed to the Somali terrorist organization. (July 2014)
– A Kazakhstani immigrant with lawful permanent resident status conspired to purchase a machine gun to shoot FBI and other law enforcement agents if they prevented him from traveling to Syria to join ISIS. (February 2015)
-An immigrant from Saudi Arabia, who applied for and received U.S. citizenship, swore allegiance to ISIS and pledged to explode a propane tank bomb on U.S. soil. (April 2015)
-A Uzbek man in Brooklyn encouraged other Uzbeki nationals to wage jihad on behalf of ISIS, and raised $1,600 for the terror organization. (April 2015)
-The Boston Bombers were granted political asylum and were thus deemed legitimate refugees. The younger brother applied for citizenship and was naturalized on September 11th, 2012. The older brother had a pending application for citizenship. (April 2013)
-A Moroccan national who came to the U.S. on a student visa was arrested for plotting to blow up a university and a federal court house. (April 2014)
– Numerous of Minnesota’s Somali-American refugee community have recently been charged with trying to join ISIS. The Washington Times reported that “the effort [to resettle large groups of Somali refugees in Minnesota] is having the unintended consequence of creating an enclave of immigrants with high unemployment that is both stressing the state’s safety net and creating a rich pool of potential recruiting targets for Islamist terror groups.” (February 2015)
-An Uzbek refugee living in Idaho was arrested and charged with providing support to a terrorist organization, in the form of teaching terror recruits how to build bombs. (July 2015)
-An American citizen whose family is from Syria was sentenced for plotting to support ISIS and rob a gun store to kill members of the American military. (April 2015)An immigrant from Syria, who later applied for and received U.S. citizenship, was accused by federal prosecutors of planning to “go to a military base in Texas and kill three or four American soldiers execution style.” (April 2015)
-A college student who immigrated from Somalia, who later applied for and received U.S. citizenship, attempted to blow up a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Oregon. (October 2014)
-An immigrant from Afghanistan, who later applied for and received U.S. citizenship, and a legal permanent resident from the Philippines, were convicted for “join Al Qaeda and the Taliban in order to kill Americans.” (September 2014)
-An Iraqi immigrant, who later applied for and received U.S. citizenship, was arrested for lying to federal agents about pledging allegiance to ISIS and his travels to Syria. (May 2015)
-Two immigrants from Pakistan, who later applied for and received U.S citizenship, were sentenced to decades-long prison sentences for plotting to detonate a bomb in New York City. (2012)
-An immigrant from Yemen, who later applied for and received U.S. citizenship, was arrested for trying to join ISIS. He was also charged with attempting to illegally buy firearms to try to shoot American military personnel. (September 2014)
-An immigrant brought here by his family from Kuwait at a young age, and who was later approved for U.S. citizenship, carried out the Islamist attack that recently killed 4 military personnel in Chattanooga. (July 2015)

At what point in Donald Trump’s inaugural address do you figure the GOP establishment will finally will grasp what’s been happening?
The establishment — not “elites,” because they’re mostly bland functionaries who went to third-rate schools — have thrown absolutely everything they have at Trump. I’ve never seen so many Republicans featured on MSNBC.
At least no one will be able to say the Republican National Committee didn’t give it the old college try (and, again, that would be third-rate colleges).
Trump is a runaway hit with Americans for the simple reason that he’s the only candidate saying anything Americans care about.
After the San Bernardino terrorist attack, committed by Muslim immigrants — which followed the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attack committed by Muslim immigrants; the 9/11 terrorist attacks committed by Muslim immigrants; the Fort Hood terrorist attack committed by a Muslim immigrant; the Boston Marathon terrorist attack committed by Muslim immigrants, and on and on — Trump suggested a temporary pause on Muslim immigration.
The other candidates responded by attacking him viciously. Now, the eunuchs are duking it out over who has the most aggressive approach to … fighting ISIS!
Asked why he called Trump’s proposal “unhinged,” Jeb! explained: “Well, first of all, we need to destroy ISIS in the caliphate.”
Marco Rubio said: “The problem is we had an attack in San Bernardino,” adding that “what’s important to do is we must deal frontally with this threat of radical Islamists, especially from ISIS.”
Ted Cruz said: “We need a president who understands the first obligation of the commander in chief is to keep America safe. If I am elected president … we will utterly destroy ISIS.”
Why are Republicans talking about starting a war in Syria to stop Muslim immigrants from killing Americans in America? Is it our job to straighten out Syria? Can’t our government just stop bringing the terrorists here? If Rubio thinks he knows how to govern Syria, he’s free to run for president there. (Except he’d have to stop talking about his dad the bartender because Muslims don’t drink.)
Republicans love pointing out that all the gun restrictions proposed by Democrats after every mass shooting would have done absolutely nothing to stop that particular mass shooting.
But the GOP’s demand that we take out ISIS would also have done nothing to prevent the San Bernardino attack. As we know from Jim Comey, the director of the FBI: Syed Farouk and Tashfeen Malik were planning a terrorist attack against Americans before ISIS existed.
It’s as if there’s a law of toughness conservation: The weaker a candidate is on protecting our borders, the more aggressively he talks about bombing foreign countries, a move known as “the Lindsey Graham.”
The GOP’s conservation of toughness has led them to such macho positions on Syria that even our feckless commander in chief is able to checkmate them.
Obama has said: “Let’s assume that we were to send 50,000 troops into Syria. What happens when there’s a terrorist attack generated from Yemen? Do we then send more troops into there? Or Libya perhaps? Or if there’s a terrorist network that’s operating anywhere else in North Africa or in Southeast Asia?”
Good grief! This GOP machismo on ISIS has resulted in Obama actually making sense.
Here’s an idea: We let backward, poverty-stricken, misogynistic, clitorectomy-performing Third Worlders scratch out a living in their medieval hellholes, and just keep them out of our country. Also known as: the Trump Plan.
Except the fun parts when Trump was speaking, the candidates talked about almost nothing else at the debate but carpet-bombing the Middle East, taking out this leader or that group, sending American forces to train Sunni Arabs, touting the Kurds, announcing their specific strategies for defeating ISIS, giving perfect little answers about our nuclear throw-weights and the “nuclear triad” and correctly identifying the “good guys” and “bad guys” — all of whom live 7,000 miles away from us.
When do we get to talk about Americans?
Only Trump seems to care. Asked about dictators running the Middle East, Trump said:
“In my opinion, we’ve spent $4 trillion trying to topple various people that frankly, if they were there and if we could’ve spent that $4 trillion in the United States to fix our roads, our bridges, and all of the other problems; our airports and all of the other problems we’ve had, we would’ve been a lot better off. I can tell you that right now …”
The nice thing about having your own helicopter is you can see the terrain below. The rest of them keep bumping into one another, as if they’re 9-year-olds trying to out-precocious one another on knowing unimportant military terminology and the pronunciation of foreign names.
As we learned from Spelling Bee champ Rubio, the “nuclear triad” refers to the fact that we have nukes on (1) the ground, (2) airplanes and (3) submarines.
Wow, isn’t that fascinating? Having learned it, I now have to excise it from my brain, as Sherlock Holmes would, as useless knowledge.
Did FDR know how to change the oil on a landing craft vehicle?
These debates have turned Republicans into self-parodies of wonkery over common sense. Without Trump in the debate, the entire audience would have been asleep in 30 minutes.
Rubio lectures Americans that “we need to understand who ISIS is.” Rubio needs to understand what a border is.
At this point, the most important question facing the Republican Party is: When Trump’s the only one with the poll numbers to make the main stage at the next debate, what should he do? Card tricks? Juggle? Sing “Danny Boy”?

Judge Blocks Ohio From Stopping Planned Parenthood Dumping Aborted Babies in Landfills

Another surrogacy case involving abortion has cropped up — this time in California — and it has the surrogate mother of trip-lets rejecting demands by the parents to abort one of the babies. Torres is now 17 weeks pregnant and she says the birth parents knew ahead of time that she would not have an abortion unless the pregnancy created a life and death situation for her.

Planned Parenthood Tweets That It “Dreams of a Magical Land Where Abortion is Free and Plentiful”
The Planned Parenthood abortion business took the veil off of its pro-abortion agenda for just a minute on Twitter yesterday — and then promptly put it right back on. Planned Parenthood’s abortion agenda is almost always hidden well behind the clock of “women’s health” and “women’s rights,” but the world got a true glimpse of its abortion mantra when Planned Parenthood sent out a tweet yesterday.

Gloria Steinem: Men Revert to “Childhood” When They See Powerful Women Like Hillary
Feminist Gloria Steinem, who never seems to have anything nice to say about men, offered her analysis as to why men criticize Hillary Clinton in an interview with ABC News’ Cokie Roberts. “I think actually that looking at a powerful woman made them feel — they had been regressed to childhood, because the last time they saw a really powerful woman, they were 8. So they behaved like 8,” she said.

By: Wilmot Proviso on December 12, 2015
Three committees in the House of Representatives announced Friday that they were launching concurrent investigations into allegations that President Barack Obama deliberately manipulated intelligence reports from Syria and Iraq, allowing the Islamic State group to thrive.
According to the Washington Examiner, Republican Reps. Ken Calvert of California, Mike Pompeo of Kansas and Brad Wenstrup of Ohio will lead the investigations for the Armed Services Committee, Intelligence Committee and the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, respectively.
“In addition to looking into the specific allegations, the Joint Task Force will examine whether these allegations reflect systemic problems across the intelligence enterprise in CENTCOM or any other pertinent intelligence organizations,” read a joint statement from Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and Defense Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rodney Freylinghuysen, R-N.J.
The investigations by the House committees joined an investigation by the Pentagon’s inspector general’s office in relation to the Obama administration’s alleged manipulation of Islamic State group intelligence at U.S. Central Command.

Even Democrats have gotten on the president and the administration about the intelligence doctoring, including one of the ranking Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Jackie Speier of California.
“More recently the intelligence community, I think, has provided much more accurate assessments. But CENTCOM, which is the area that is responsible for the Middle East, has, for whatever reasons, we don’t know yet why, has dumbed down the intelligence, has sweetened it, has made it seem like we are being more successful there than we are,” Speier said.
“I’m deeply troubled by what I believe is doctoring that has taken place and has created an impression that we are doing better there than we actually are.”
Rep. Speier may claim “we don’t know yet why” intelligence reports were doctored, but we’re pretty sure we understand why.
And pretty soon, these congressional investigations will reveal officially put the “why” out there for the world to see.
Do you think this deriliction of duty by Obama has helped the Islamic State group to thrive?

In this instance, with their desperate struggle for survival, we are not just describing a conflict of ideas. This is war: bloody, visceral, and “all hands on deck”.
The “Female Protection Forces of the Land Between the Two Rivers” has had its first graduating class of combat-ready women. Some have left kids and family in the care of others while they join the fight (Babylonia, age 36 for example) and in some cases have done so with the blessing of their husbands, who are themselves fighting with male fighting units.
They are getting training in a range of areas, including fitness, academics, and of course, combat training. Since they are still green, they are stationed close to home, defending their community, while the more seasoned troops go to the heavier fighting.
It isn’t just Christian women who have had enough of being raped, or seeing their children carried away by these gutless terrorist swine, either. The Yazidi women have had their own share of suffering.

Investigation: Planned Parenthood “Steam-Cooked” Aborted Babies Before Dumping Them in Landfill
As a result from an investigation prompted by undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress that shows the involvement of certain Planned Parenthood affiliates in the illegal trafficking of aborted baby remains, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine notified the Ohio Department of Health that three Planned Parenthood facilities improperly contract with companies that “cook” aborted baby remains then dump them in a Kentucky landfill.

Marion-Le-Pen-GettyImages
Marion Maréchal-Le Pen is the new deserved “It Girl” of French politics and a clear voice of courage and common sense in a country and continent in need of both.
In 2012, she earned the distinction of being France’s youngest elected Member of Parliament. Last week she handily won the first round of a race for the leadership of a large important region in southeastern France that’s home to the beautiful port city of Marseilles. Unfortunately, she lost the run-off election today because the two establishment Parties joined forces to defeat her.
But despite today’s tough losses, Marion and her aunt Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Front (FN) Party, have established themselves and their supporters as a force to be reckoned with in France’s 2017 presidential race, in which Marine is sure to be a contender with her talented niece right behind her.
For some time now, I’ve admired the bold style of Marine Le Pen, who wrestled control of the leadership of her populist party in order to purge it of any trace of anti-Semitism, which it had unfortunately been tainted with in the past. But I’m especially impressed with the courage of her young niece who is a devout Catholic and unapologetically pro-life – not an easy thing for a politician to be in a country that’s aggressively secular.
More importantly, young Marion Maréchal-Le Pen is unashamed to champion France’s Judeo-Christian identity and heritage as something worth preserving and fighting for. She publicly proclaims it, setting an example for even American politicians to be so bold. With France (and indeed all of Europe) caught up in an existential crisis against radical Islam, these are the sentiments they need in their leadership.
The Charlie Hebdo attacks last January and the Paris attacks last month were a tragic wake up call for France. The forces of civilization are engaged in a great war against the Death Cult that is radical Islam. This year the conflict reached the shores of France, which has become the Western Front of this Great War, thanks in part to the migrant crisis overwhelming the European Union.
Was anyone surprised that the mastermind of the Paris attacks entered the country by posing as a Syrian “refugee”? The Islamic State bragged that they were going to exploit Europe’s open borders! Is this not the clearest warning to politically correct pundits and politicians in our own homeland who think we can filter the nefarious out from the future flood of young, strong, able-bodied immigrants claiming “refugee” status? It’s common sense to encourage these young men to stay and fight for their countries and families during this time made tumultuous in part by our utter lack of border security and vetting processes.
The migrant crisis has made a mockery of any idea of national sovereignty. The EU’s open border policy means that all of Europe is now forced to bear the burden of Germany’s insane decision to welcome in those untold millions of mostly fighting age young Muslim men who have zero interest in assimilating to secular western values, as heretofore mentioned.
But for some reason saying this out loud is considered “hate speech” or xenophobia in Europe. They can even press criminal charges against you for it!
We see members of a Death Cult gun down Parisians in a café and concert hall, slaughter cartoonists at their desks, shoot up a Jewish market, sell women and girls into sexual slavery, stone gays to death, crucify and behead Christians, and declare their intention to infiltrate and destroy western countries. But the Left reserves its harshest criticism not for the murderous Death Cult, but for any leader offering commonsense solutions to curtail the terrorists’ ability to wage war on the innocent.
The Left wraps itself in political correctness and multiculturalism like a suicide vest. They’d rather blow up the whole country than admit the stupidity of thinking a nation can remain the same after inviting in millions of people who despise its values.
I guess it’s not surprising really. The Left in Europe and America has always had a self-destructive hatred for the things that make a country great and worth living in: free markets, free speech, a civil society grounded in Judeo-Christian values, a strong national defense, and sovereign borders. They’re constantly attacking every one of these things. That’s undeniable.
But their dangerous ideology is being “mugged by reality.” People are waking up. Young Marion Maréchal-Le Pen built her electoral win last week by going to the rural small business owners – the average French citizens who have been ignored by their elite politicians and have had enough.
We see the same thing happening here in America. Call it the rise of the populists. Pundits are already seeing the similarities between Marion and Marine Le Pen, Donald Trump, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). All are non-establishment candidates taking on corrupt, entrenched, and detached political elites who are more interested in preserving their own power than in defending their countries.
It’s time to wake up, America. Nowhere in Europe or America is safe from this Great War against the Death Cult. San Bernardino wasn’t a one-off phenomenon. ISIS is already here. According to a House Homeland Security report, over 250 people in the U.S. have attempted to join ISIS (that we know about), and 82 have been caught in ISIS plots. Meanwhile, the FBI has nearly 1,000 open cases involving ISIS that we know of.
We don’t have a handle on this situation now, but our insane politicians want to import more so-called “refugees.” Forgive me if I’m a little skeptical about the refugee part. We just learned that ISIS is forging fake Syrian passports, and we already know that two of the Paris attackers entered Europe posing as refugees. We have no way to vet anyone coming to our country. This is why we need to seal the borders.
When Marion Maréchal-Le Pen speaks of France’s 16 centuries of Judeo-Christian history and heritage, her rhetoric isn’t about “hate” or xenophobia. It’s about love – that deep love of country we call patriotism.
Mark Twain believed patriotism was personified in the story of a young French woman who “found a great nation lying in chains, helpless and hopeless” and led it “from victory to victory” until it was free. “With Joan of Arc love of country was more than a sentiment – it was a passion,” Twain wrote. “She was Patriotism embodied.”
As Marion faces the political battles ahead, I wouldn’t be surprised if she says a prayer to France’s Patron Saint, for Marion is a reminder of her – Joan of Arc.

Yes, the Black Lives Matter movement is focused on racist police brutality and ending what they term as “mass incarceration.” This has been their trigger issue; the thing that gets people into the streets and into the movement.
The movement, however, is about The Movement—the collection of issues and affiliated groups that are the far left’s agenda. As part of The Movement, Black Lives Matter deals with issues that may seem far afield from race and police brutality. For example, immigration “reform” — so two of the founders of Black Lives Matter are top-ranking officials with pro-illegal immigration groups.
The Movement is also anti-Israel, and as Breitbart News has reported, Black Lives Matter has alliances with a pro-Palestinian terrorist.
In fact, the Movement—and by extension, the Black Lives Matter group —has political positions on every single issue facing America, from taxes to social issues like abortion to foreign policy. Yes, including “climate change.”
Don’t take my word for it, though—here’s how Black Lives Matter ties into what the left calls “environmental justice.”
Another activist on the Mall, Dominque Hazzard, a member of the Black Youth Project 100, said, “The Black Lives Matter and the Climate and Justice movements are totally connected because, around the world, climate change is disproportionately impacting people of color and the working class.’
“The movement is about ending state sanctioned violence against black people,” Hazzard said.
Want more? Here’s influential leftist author and columnist Naomi Klein, writing a year ago in The Nation:
What does #BlackLivesMatter, and the unshakable moral principle that it represents, have to do with climate change? Everything. Because we can be quite sure that if wealthy white Americans had been the ones left without food and water for days in a giant sports stadium after Hurricane Katrina, even George W. Bush would have gotten serious about climate change.
Don’t worry if that formula of “Climate Change = Racism” doesn’t make sense to you. It just means you aren’t a leftist. Klein continues, tying in everything to the leftist worldview:
In the face of systemic state violence, courageous demonstrators shouting “I Can’t Breathe” and “Black Lives Matter” are asserting a positive, core principle about the value of every single human being, starting with the lives that are currently most discounted. Supporting the urgent call for justice and a transformation of the criminal justice system is of paramount importance and should not be watered down by piling every issue under the sun on top of it.
At the same time, the clarion call that Black Lives Matter deserves to transform how we approach a great many crises in our societies, from school systems that systematically fail African-American kids, to a healthcare system that too often discards black lives. It must also jolt us out of our climate inaction.
Don’t dismiss Black Lives Matter as merely an anti-cop group. The 2016 election is less than a year away and with every protest, demonstration, and student uprising, they are recruiting and training activists and new voters to back far-left Democrats in November.
Earlier this month in Chicago, at a prayer vigil for Laquan McDonald, the BLM activists ended the event by handing out voter registration cards.
The energy industry is already saying Saturday’s Paris global warming agreement is “unenforceable, underfunded, and non-binding.” “There is nothing historic about this deal,” said American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle in an email to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The Obama administration clearly doesn’t have the support of Congress or the American people—making the agreement nothing more than a paper tiger. Unfortunately, this won’t stop the president from pursuing a domestic climate agenda that will raise energy prices on American families, but will have no impact on the climate.”
The Obama administration states that the deal will encourage nearly 200 countries to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, slowing global warming. Despite the doubt, President Obama is already celebrating the deal, as shown by the Tweet below.


Kerry previously stated that the talks would not deliver a “treaty” that legally requires countries to cut carbon dioxide emissions. However, European Union previously asserted that the deal will be a legally binding treaty, contradicting Kerry’s direct statements.
The current deal allows countries to set “non-binding” CO2 emissions targets for themselves, but contains no mechanism to enforce the agreement. The Obama administration seems to have gotten a deal that contains no legally-binding measures and is thus not a “treaty.” This weakens legal arguments that the agreement needs the approval of the hostile U.S. Senate, which must ratify all treaties.
Environmental groups were skeptical of the deal during the negotiation process, as it contains only voluntary, not mandatory, CO2 cuts. Many environmental groups blame the failure of the 2009 Copenhagen Accords on the lack of mandatory CO2 cuts.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is also a congresswoman from Florida, has drafted a bill to restore money that both parties used to receive from the federal government to help defray the costs of running their quadrennial conventions.
The Congressional Budget Office revealed the move in a letter released Friday, which said Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s proposal to tap a presidential campaign fund would likely mean each party could get about $20 million in taxpayer money to help with costs.
Neither the DNC nor Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s congressional office returned messages seeking comment on her plans.
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Allison Moore said the party doesn’t need the help.
“We support no taxpayer funding as long as there’s an alternate way for us to raise the funds to mount a successful convention,” she said in an email.
It was only last year when lawmakers nixed money for the conventions, deciding the political parties and their presidential nominees — who each raised $1 billion in 2012 — didn’t need help from taxpayers anymore. Congress instead called for the money to be used to finance research on children’s diseases at the National Institutes of Health.
Months after the change, however, the two parties began to worry that they wouldn’t be able to pay for their conventions. Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress struck a deal to raise the contribution limits so donors could give nearly $100,000 to convention funds, in addition to other contributions, whose limits were also raised.
Republicans appear to have done better under the new rules than the DNC, which has a troubled financial picture. It has raised $51.2 million this year through Oct. 31 but spent $53.4 million — a bad balance in the year before major elections.
The RNC has raised $89.3 million and spent $74 million. It has stockpiled $20.4 million in cash.
The CBO said Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s legislation would tap into the Presidential Election Campaign Fund — the money taxpayers can earmark on their annual filing forms to help defray the costs of presidential campaigns — and make it available to political conventions.
President Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, rejected public financing in 2012. Both candidates decided that they didn’t want to comply with the strict spending limits, which they feared would crimp their ability to flood the airwaves with ads.
That has left the presidential fund with about $290 million. The CBO said that, based on spending in the 2012 conventions, each party likely would get about $20 million under the congresswoman’s proposal.
Based on previous conventions, that would amount to about a quarter of the total cost.
The ban on funding for conventions doesn’t apply to security money. Congress has earmarked about $50 million to help defray costs to state and local law enforcement for securing each convention site since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Democrats will gather next year in Philadelphia, and Republicans will hold their convention in Cleveland.

By Jonah Goldberg — December 13, 2015The New York Times has an interesting story about how the State Department missed the bus on Tashfeen Malik’s Islamist and anti-American social-media posts during her immigration background check. Though we aren’t permitted to read directly what she said on social media, she was apparently quite open in her endorsement of “violent Jihad.” The Times reports that:
Had the authorities found the posts years ago, they might have kept her out of the country. But immigration officials do not routinely review social media as part of their background checks, and there is a debate inside the Department of Homeland Security over whether it is even appropriate to do so.
We don’t get much of an explanation of what exactly “appropriate” means, only that the topic is being debated by government officials. It’s almost as if the Times is scared to actually report the interesting facts — what the posts said, why the government ignores them and may want to keep ignoring them, etc. for fear of what people might do with the facts.
Then there’s this ending:
In a brief telephone interview on Saturday, the sister, Fehda Malik, said Tashfeen Malik was not an extremist, and she rejected the allegations against her sister.
“I am the one who spent most of the time with my sister,” she said. “No one knows her more than me. She had no contact with any militant organization or person, male or female.”
She said her sister was religious, studied the Quran and prayed five times a day. “She knew what was right and what was wrong,” Fehda Malik said. She added that the family was “very worried and tense,” before hanging up the phone.
On social media, Fehda Malik has made provocative comments of her own. In 2011, on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, she posted a remark on Facebook beside a photo of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center that could be interpreted as anti-American.
Social media comments, by themselves, however, are not always definitive evidence. In Pakistan — as in the United States — there is no shortage of crass and inflammatory language. And it is often difficult to distinguish Islamist sentiments and those driven by political hostility toward the United States. At the time Fehda Malik’s comment was posted, anti-American sentiment in Pakistan was particularly high; four months earlier, American commandos had secretly entered Pakistan and killed Osama bin Laden.
I’ve reread this last bit a bunch of times. I can’t quite figure out what the authors and editors think is going on here. The sister, Fehda, denies that Tashfeen is a radical Islamist. She spent a lot of time with her sister apparently. Weighing against Fehda’s character reference? Tashfeen’s Facebook posts, including the one in which she pledged loyalty to ISIS, not to mention the bodies of 14 dead Americans (and a good deal more wounded). So I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Fehda’s word doesn’t count for very much.
This is a suspicion the authors themselves seem to corroborate, given that they found a post of hers on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that “could be interpreted as anti-American.” Again, we’re not allowed to see the actual comment, but given that it accompanied a picture of a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, and the way the Times phrased all of this, I’m guessing that the proper way to read “could be interpreted” is “only a blithering idiot would disagree” that it was anti-American.
But wait. It gets odder. The Times chooses to end this story with a caution not to read too much into ugly posts on social media by people asking for the privilege — not the right — to move here. After all, “it is often difficult to distinguish Islamist sentiments and those driven by political hostility toward the United States. At the time Fehda Malik’s comment was posted, anti-American sentiment in Pakistan was particularly high; four months earlier, American commandos had secretly entered Pakistan and killed Osama bin Laden.”
Wait. What? I gather they are saying that anti-Americanism and Islamism are different, but occasionally overlapping things. Fair enough. But they also seem to be saying we shouldn’t much care about taking in immigrants who merely hate America on political grounds. That’s weird.
Even more weird is their example of potentially non-Islamist but still anti-American sentiment: Fehda’s outrage over the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Are we supposed to be relieved? “Oh, she’s not an Islamist, she’s just furious we killed Bin Laden for nationalistic reasons.”
So, to sum up: It may be inappropriate to put too much stock in social-media posts because some would-be immigrants just hate America for conventional non-Islamist reasons. After all, the woman who insists her mass-murdering Islamist sister isn’t a radical has posted anti-American screeds out of outrage that the U.S. killed an Islamist terrorist mastermind on Pakistani soil. These distinctions really are complicated, I guess. Better government officials just ignore it all.

Climate Change Agreement |Political Cartoon | A.F.Branco

America is about to accept 9000 Syrian Muslims, refugees of the brutal war between the Assad regime and its Sunni opposition, which includes ISIS, Al Qaeda, and various other militias. That number is predicted to increase each year. There are no Christian refugees that will be admitted.
Why? Because the Department of State is adhering with all the rigidity of a Soviet era bureaucracy to the rule that only people at risk from massacres launched by the regime qualify for refugee status. The rapes of Christian women and the butchery of Christian children do not count. No matter how moved Americans were this Christmas season by the plight of their fellow Christ followers in Syria and Iraq, no matter how horrific the visuals of beheadings, enslavement, and mass murder, the Christians fleeing death do not engender the compassion of this president.
The Christians are being raped, tortured, and murdered by militias, not by the Syrian government. This technicality condemns them to continue to be victims without hope. And this technicality is being adhered to with all the tenacity with which President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s State Department manipulated quotas and created subterfuges to keep out the Jews fleeing the oppression of Nazi Germany. Obama no more wants the Middle East’s Christian refugees than Roosevelt wanted Europe’s Jewish refugees.

By Flora Drury and Lydia Willgress and Colin Fernandez For Mailonline | To a reception of whoops and cheers, Laurent Fabius told the hall: ‘I now invite the COP [conference of the parties] to adopt the decision. I see no objections. The Paris agreement is adopted.’ The plenary hall then rose to give him a standing ovation.
Mr Fabius was reminded that custom requires him to bang his ceremonial gavel before the agreement can be passed.
‘I’m being reminded I’m supposed to bang the gavel. It’s a small gavel, but it can do a great job,’ and with a bang of his gavel, the Paris agreement was officially passed.
UN climate chief Christiana Figueres said: ‘I used to say we must, we can, we will – today we can say we did.’
The first draft of the ‘historic’ legally binding agreement had been reached around midday.
The report confirmed countries – if they accept the 31-page draft – will be expected to work towards limiting global warming to 2C above pre-industrial levels. Negotiators will reconvene this afternoon to approve or reject the agreement.

Prime Minister David Cameron said the universal climate deal agreed in Paris ‘means that the whole world has signed to play its part in halting climate change’, adding: ‘It’s a moment to remember and a huge step forward in helping to secure the future of our planet.’
President Barack Obama tweeted: ‘This is huge: Almost every country in the world just signed on to the on climate change—thanks to American leadership.’
Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s managing director, said: ‘The Paris Agreement is a critical step forward for addressing climate change.’
‘Whereas we left Copenhagen scared of what comes next, we’ll leave Paris inspired to keep fighting,’ said David Turnbull, Director at Oil Change International, a research and advocacy organisation opposed to fossil fuel production.
Kevin Watkins, executive director of the Overseas Development Institute, said: ‘It is a tough message to deliver after two weeks of intense negotiations that have delivered an ambitious deal, but the challenge governments are facing can be summarised in five words – ‘now for the hard part’.’
Kumi Naidoo of Greenpeace praised the accord was a good start but isn’t enough. ‘Today the human race has joined in a common cause, but it’s what happens after this conference that really matters,’ he said. ‘This deal alone won’t dig us out the hole we’re in, but it makes the sides less steep.’
But Friends of the Earth said it was a ‘disaster’. In a statement released by the group, they said: ‘The draft Paris agreement puts us on track for a planet three degrees hotter than today. This would be a disaster.
‘The reviews in this agreement are too weak and too late. The finance figures have no bearing on the scale of need. It’s empty.’
Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now, added: ‘It’s outrageous that the deal that’s on the table is being spun as a success when it undermines the rights of the world’s most vulnerable communities and has almost nothing binding to ensure a safe and liveable climate for future generations.’
China and India, the world’s two most populous nations and biggest developing country greenhouse-gas polluters, hailed Saturday’s adoption of a universal climate pact as a step to a brighter future.
‘What we have adopted is not only an agreement, but we have written a new chapter of hope in the lives of seven billion people on the planet,’ Indian Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said to loud applause from exhausted but elated climate negotiators.
‘We have today reassured this future generation that we all together will mitigate the challenge posed by climate change and will give them a better Earth.’
China’s climate envoy Xie Zhenhua said the agreement saw the nations of the world ‘marching historic steps forward.’
‘All parties have made a correct choice that is beneficial for their own people, responsible for future generations and conducive to sustainable development around the world,’ he said through a translator.
‘This indeed is a marvellous act that belongs to our generation, and all of us.’

Earlier in the day, French President Francois Hollande pleaded with delegates to accept the ‘ambitious’ agreement, which was finalised during late-night negotiations on Friday. He said: ‘You will make a choice for your country, for your continent, but also a choice for the world. It will be a major leap for mankind.’ He added: ‘History is coming. In fact, history is here.’
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also made an impassioned speech to world diplomats negotiating the potential draft.
He said: ‘The whole world is watching. Billions of people are relying on your wisdom.
‘The time has come to acknowledge that national interests are best served by acting in the international interest.
‘We have to do as science dictates. We must protect the planet that sustains us. We need all our hands on deck.’
Speaking after the midday announcement that the draft had been reached, the G77 bloc of 134 developing nations, including China, gave the nod for the rescue pact.
Nozipho Mxakato-Diseko, a South African negotiator and spokeswoman for the G77, said: ‘We are united, all together. We are happy to go home with this text.’
The G77 added its voice to groups including the Like-Minded Developing Countries, the European Union and the Least Developed Countries, who have all come out in support of the final draft. The meeting came after legal teams and translators spent Saturday morning combing the document before it was presented.
Announcing the final draft, the country’s foreign minister Laurent Fabius said: ‘We are almost at the end of the path. It’s my deep conviction that we have come up with an ambitious and balanced agreement.
‘The world is holding its breath, it’s counting on all of us.’
He added that the accord would aim to limit the rise in global temperatures to 2C above pre-industrial times, with an additional pledge to get it closer to 1.5C.
The report states: ‘[Countries will hold] the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and [pursue] efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5C.’
It also includes a five-year review system to increase ambition on cutting emissions as well as finance for developing countries to deal with rising temperatures.
The draft comes after two weeks of fraught debate as officials disagreed on how to phase out greenhouse gases and finance poorer nations.
Many countries – including China and Saudi Arabia, where officials fear plans to limit global temperature rises could jeopardise oil production – previously refused to yield ground on key issues within the agreement.
During two weeks of discussions, the text was slimmed down from 43 pages in an attempt to find compromises.
Arguments over finance deals to help poor countries cope with climate change and adapt to low carbon economies have also been a major point of disagreement.

Meanwhile, environmental and human rights groups carried out protests around Paris on Saturday to call attention to populations threatened by man-made global warming. Campaigners dressed as polar bears, scaled the Arc de Triomphe and painted a road yellow in a bid to urge an end to the use of oil, gas and coal. Protesters also stretched a 1.2-mile red banner from the Arc de Triomphe to the La Defense business district in Paris in a bid to illustrate the ‘red line’ they say climate negotiators should not cross. The protests were timed to coincide with the end of the two-week climate talks. They came as some charities denounced the final draft and said delegates had not done enough.
Thomas Coutrot, of advocacy group Attac, said the final draft is an optical illusion that ‘masks’ a lack of serious policy changes like abandoning oil altogether. He said: ‘This accord is unacceptable.’ He also declared ‘a state of climate emergency’.

By Liberals were furious when it was pointed out that Jimmy Carter also banned immigration for certain folks during the 1980 Iran Hostage Crisis. But that’s precisely what he did and The Gateway Pundit managed to dig up video from ABC News that proves it.
Here’s the transcript from ABC News, highlighting the relevant part:
Ever since Iranian terrorists imprisoned American Embassy personnel in Tehran early in November, these 50 men and women—their safety, their health, and their future—have been our central concern. We’ve made every effort to obtain their release on honorable, peaceful, and humanitarian terms, but the Iranians have refused to release them or even to improve the inhumane conditions under which these Americans are being held captive.
The events of the last few days have revealed a new and significant dimension in this matter. The militants controlling the Embassy have stated they are willing to turn the hostages over to the Government of Iran, but the Government has refused to take custody of the American hostages. This lays bare the full responsibility of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Revolutionary Council for the continued illegal and outrageous holding of the innocent hostages. The Iranian Government can no longer escape full responsibility by hiding behind the militants at the Embassy.
It must be made clear that the failure to release the hostages will involve increasingly heavy costs to Iran and to its interests. I have today ordered the following steps.
First, the United States of America is breaking diplomatic relations with the Government of Iran. The Secretary of State has informed the Government of Iran that its Embassy and consulates in the United States are to be closed immediately. All Iranian diplomatic and consular officials have been declared persona non grata and must leave this country by midnight tomorrow.
Second, the Secretary of the Treasury will put into effect official sanctions prohibiting exports from the United States to Iran, in accordance with the sanctions approved by 10 members of the United Nations Security Council on January 13 in the resolution which was vetoed by the Soviet Union. Although shipment of food and medicine were not included in the U.N. Security Council vote, it is expected that exports even of these items to Iran will be minimal or nonexistent.
Third, the Secretary of Treasury will make a formal inventory of the assets of the Iranian Government, which were frozen by my previous order, and also will make a census or an inventory of the outstanding claims of American citizens and corporations against the Government of Iran. This accounting of claims will aid in designing a program against Iran for the hostages, for the hostage families, and other U.S. claimants. We are now preparing legislation, which will be introduced in the Congress, to facilitate processing and paying of these claims.
Fourth, the Secretary of Treasury [State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.

By URL of the original posting site: http://www.thefederalistpapers.org/us/detroit-newspaper-puts-pro-terror-imam-on-front-page-to-protest-islamophobia
So to prove this point, The Detroit Free Press ran a front-page editorial (right above a story about a robot butler, FrontPageMag points out) condemning Donald Trump, his followers and anyone concerned about Radical Islam and terrorism.
One huge problem: Their photo accompanying the article is of a known terrorist sympathizer.
Is there a worse picture to put with this story? Maybe bin Laden?
Imam Husham Al-Husayni tells his fellow Muslims to “get ready for holy jihad.” He has refused to denounce the terrorist group Hezbollah and celebrates the murder of Jews.
Not exactly the kind of person you want as a poster child for tolerance.
Here’s some of the DFP’s bloviating:
Americans who support the real estate magnate turned reality television star turned ersatz politician either bestow approval on the candidate precisely because of his disdain for immigrants, Hispanics and Muslims — or because it just doesn’t bother them that much.
Contrast Trump’s statements to President Barack Obama’s Sunday night address from the Oval Office:
“Muslim Americans are our friends and our neighbors, our coworkers, our sports heroes — and, yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defense of our country. We have to remember that.”
And so: We stand with San Bernardino. We stand with Paris. We stand with Beirut. We stand with Syrian refugees, seeking a safer life in our country, still a beacon of democracy and freedom, despite Trump’s efforts to the contrary. We stand with the Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists, Hindus, Buddhists and all others who make up our community.
We stand with America.
Mr. Trump, with whom do you stand?

URL of the original posting site: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/22111-ted-cruz-president-can-ignore-unconstitutional-supreme-court-decisions
Cruz fired his shot across judicial supremacy’s bow in a recent appearance on EWTN, a global Catholic network, while being interviewed by Princeton University professor Robert George (video below. Relevant portion begins at 13: 52).
Asking Cruz about “judicial power,” George pointed to the Supreme Court’s checkered past rulings, mentioning the Dred Scott case, the 1905 case of Lochner v. New York, Roe v. Wade, and this year’s Obergefell v. Hodges faux-marriage decision. The professor then said, as presented by Crisis magazine:
Some people say that a president must always accept the court’s interpretation of the Constitution no matter how dubious that interpretation is; that we have to treat it as the law of the land, binding not just on the parties to the case but on other officials of government, beginning with the president. Abraham Lincoln though, as you know, vehemently disagreed with that idea of judicial supremacy, saying that to treat unconstitutional court rulings as binding in all cases, no matter what, no matter how usurpative, no matter how anti-constitutional, would be for the American people — and I quote now the Great Emancipator—“to resign their government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.”
George then asked if Lincoln was right and if Cruz would defy the court on Obergefell, to which the senator responded:
I agree with President Lincoln and courts do not make law.…The court interprets the law, applies the law…. And, you know, this is an area of really striking divide in this presidential election.…They’re [sic] quite a few Republicans who, when the gay “marriage” decision came down, they described it as the settled law of the land. It’s final; we must accept it, move on and surrender.
Those are almost word for word Barack Obama’s talking points and I think they are profoundly wrong. I think the decision was fundamentally illegitimate. It was lawless. It was not based on the Constitution. I agree very much with Justice Scalia, who wrote a powerful dissent saying, this decision is a fundamental threat to our democracy.… And indeed, Justice Scalia, in the penultimate paragraph of his dissent, predicts, harkening back to President Lincoln defying Dred Scott, that state and local officials will refuse to obey this lawless decision. It is remarkable to see a Supreme Court justice saying that would be the consequence of this.
The reality is that the judiciary has no men under arms; it cannot enforce its rulings. Enforcement is the executive branch’s role, and the Court has no ability to coerce a president into acting on its decisions.
But isn’t this just a matter of might makes right? Doesn’t the court have the legal authority of its judicial-review power to nullify or invalidate a legislative or executive action it deems unconstitutional? Doesn’t this give it the moral high ground?
The Constitution is our land’s supreme law, above, of course, the Supreme Court; this is why the Court will rule against a law citing the Constitution’s authority and not merely its own. Yet where does the notion that the Court has judicial-review power — and that all three branches of government must be constrained by its judgments — come from?
It is not in the Constitution but was declared by the Court on, in essence, its own authority — in the 1803 Marbury v. Madison decision.
So the Court gave the Court its oligarchic powers. And “oligarchic” is not too strong a word, nor a new characterization. As Thomas Jefferson wrote two centuries ago, “To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” He further said that if the judicial-supremacy thesis is sound, “then indeed is our constitution a complete felo de se” — a suicide pact. For judicial supremacy gives to one branch alone, continued Jefferson, “the right to prescribe rules for the government of the others, and to that one too, which is unelected by, and independent of the nation.…The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist, and shape into any form they please.”
And the twisting continues apace as our Republic twists in the wind and we are governed by the ruler and not the rule. Justice Scalia made mention of this in his Obergefell dissent as well, writing, “It is not of special importance to me what the law says about marriage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me. Today’s [marriage] decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court.”
One of the basic ideas behind our American government is “balance of power,” both between the feds and the states and among the three governmental branches. Judicial supremacy makes a mockery of this, confusing the Supreme Court with the Supreme Being and giving one branch — whose prominent members aren’t even elected by the people and cannot be recalled by them — complete trump power over the other two. To consider it legitimate is to believe our Founders fought one tyrant living overseas in the name of establishing a tribunal of nine tyrants on our own soil.
But they didn’t, which is why judicial supremacy wasn’t written into the Constitution. To accept it is to yield to circular reasoning: “The courts have the ultimate say in the meaning of law. And how do I know? The courts have told me so.”

During an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Thursday, Philip Haney said that in 2012 as an agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center, he opened an investigation into a Sunni Islamic group called, Tablighi Jamaat, a subset of the fundamentalist Deobandi movement. But Haney said that just a year into the investigation it was shut down by the State Department and the Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.


As the global intelligence group Stratfor has reported, Talighi Jamaat has been linked to a number of attempted terrorist attacks targeting the U.S.
“Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because association with that mosque, and/or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his association with a known organization,” Haney told Kelly.
Haney turned whistleblower in 2013 after meeting with DHS’ inspector general. In turn, DHS and the Justice Department investigated him, though found no wrongdoing, The Federalist reported.
In September 2014, Haney had his security clearance revoked as well as his access to work databases.
According to Fox’s Trace Gallagher, the Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the story but said that Haney’s story is missing many details.
Haney’s claim comes amid reports that investigators believe that Farook was in the same social circle as a Riverside, Calif., man who was arrested in 2012 in a plot to recruit for al-Qaida. That recruiter, Soheil Kabir, was convicted of providing material support to terrorists and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Farook had reportedly planned an attack in 2012 but got spooked after that recruiting ring was busted.

Published : 11 Dec, 2015URL of the original posting site: https://www.rt.com/usa/325571-phones-propane-terrorist-missouri

© Jeff Haynes / Reuters
A large portion of the phones were bought by “three men with accents” at one Walmart near the town of Lebanon, Jefferson City police said. The purchases were made very late, at 3:50am local time on Saturday, authorities said for 59 of the phones. Although the three men were questioned by authorities, nothing further could be done, as there were no grounds for detention. It was then that the FBI was notified by the Laclede County Sheriff.
The second instance of large purchases was registered on Monday by police in Columbia, two hours north of Lebanon. Five or more men were behind that purchase, which occurred last Friday at 9:30pm.
The same issue is being investigated by Macon Police, where a purchase happened on Saturday, as well as Jackson Police, who are investigating the purchase of 48 prepaid phones on Friday, and Cape Girardieu, where 10 cell phones were purchased, according to KFVS.
The FBI is not ruling anything out, and has asked Missouri residents to notify authorities if they witness anything out of place.

Although an investigation is underway, not everyone is eager to connect the propane tanks with the mobile phones. Retired FBI agent Michael Tabman is stopping short of suspecting a terror plot: “Certainly, [when] we hear something about gas being stolen, we worry about a potential bomb. The good news is this is probably not part of terrorist planning for a number of reasons,” he told Fox 4. “One is they wouldn’t steal these items because they know that would attract law enforcement’s attention. Also this would not be a tool of choice.”

Ted Cruz: Pro-Abortion Claim There’s a Pro-Life War on Women is “Nonsense”
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz called out Hillary Clinton last week for trying to hide her radical position on abortion behind fake “war on women” rhetoric. The so-called “war on women” was “concocted” by the Democratic Party to attack conservatives and pro-lifers and divert the public’s attention away from the party’s radical stance on abortion, Cruz said.

Democrats: If We Protect Pro-Lifers From Having to Pay for Abortions “All Hell Will Break Loose”
Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill are embroiled in a battle over the continuing resolution to fund the federal government. One reason why the two sides can’t agree on a bill to fund the government has to do with policy riders — and one specifically that would protect pro-life groups from having to pay for abortions.

Posted 9 hours ago by By one reading, the study could be sifted as good news because the number of adults living in upper class homes increased by half between 1971 and 2015, from 14 percent to 21 percent. Low-income homes increased from 25 percent to 29 percent in the same time period, with the middle class shrinking from 61 percent to 50 percent.
Median incomes across the board have increased since 1970, but middle- and lower-income families’ increases have lagged upper-income increases. Perhaps more significantly, upper-income families now have a much larger share of the overall economy than in 1970, up to 49 percent of aggregate household income in 2014 from 29 percent in 1970.
Median income from 1970 to 2014 grew 47 percent for upper-income families, 34 percent for middle-income families, and 28 percent for low-income families. Inflation during that same time period, according to the Consumer Price Index, has been approximately 518 percent. The total cost of living has gone up nearly 624 percent, according to figures from the American Institute for Economic Research.
While the current administration isn’t — for once — the origin of the problem, the numbers underscore that the
economic improvement touted by the Obama White House for the past nearly seven years just isn’t happening for most of America. The Pew study also points out that the highest rates of growth among economic classes happened on the edges of the economy, farthest from the center, among the poorest and the wealthiest, demonstrating the growing deep division among Americans economically speaking.
Median incomes measured since 2000 have actually declined a bit for all economic classes, by $6,144 per upper-income household, by $3,427 for middle-class families, and $2,422 for lower-income families.
This particular problem may not be Obama’s fault, but he has done nothing to reverse or even slow the trends. Almost seven years in, “Hope and Change” is just as empty a slogan as when it was first uttered on the campaign trail.

Posted 9:07 am, December 10, 2015, by Staff Writer, Updated at 12:21pm, December 10, 2015URL of the original posting site: http://fox2now.com/2015/12/10/fbi-alerted-about-bulk-cell-phone-purchases-at-3-missouri-walmarts
Law enforcement agencies report cellphones are potential tools in the hands of terrorists. The devices can be used to communicate and they’re difficult to trace if they’re prepaid phones; they can also be used as detonators for bombs.
A call about several suspects buying many cell phones at once in Jefferson City was reported by police today.
KMIZ-TV reports that several men bought dozens of phones at a Columbia Walmart late last week, and paid in cash. Police just reported the purchases Monday.
The Macon County Sheriff’s Office said it is investigating a similar report on Wednesday at a Macon Walmart:

“Somebody went in and bought 60 cell phones from Walmart that’s not normal for this area. I’m not going to say just because they’re different religion or just because they’re Muslim–but these people were they were foreign speaking then you need to take notice and you need to let us know because it doesn’t hurt to check on it. You’re not being racist or anything like that you’re just protecting yourself.” Laclede County Sheriff Wayne Merritt tells KYTV.
A spokesman for the FBI tells WDAF-TV that it’s standard procedure for law enforcement agencies to contact them if they deem something to be suspicious. Just because the FBI was contacted does not mean they are investigating the purchases. The alerts could be out of an abundance of caution.

Bergdahl, who is facing charges of desertion, had left his base in Afghanistan in 2009, and was subsequently captured and held hostage for five years. “At the time, there were rumors that on-again, off-again talks about a prisoner exchange, which had broken down several years earlier, might be underway again, but the administration repeatedly suggested to reporters and to Congress that nothing significant was going on,” the report found.
The report also found that the administration kept some defense officials who would normally work on transfers out of the loop. The administration has said it feared a leak of the swap would scuttle the deal and could endanger Bergdahl’s life.
“Our report finds that the Administration clearly broke the law in not notifying Congress of the transfer,” said the committee’s chairman, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas).
“Leading up to the transfer, DOD officials misled Congress as to the status of negotiations. Pentagon officials best positioned to assess the national security risks were left out of the process, which increases the chances of dangerous consequences from the transfer,” he said.
“It is irresponsible to put these terrorists that much closer to the battlefield to settle a campaign promise and unconscionable to mislead Congress in the process,” he added.
The White House said Thursday it “absolutely” stands by its decision to exchange the Taliban prisoners for Bergdahl, describing it in line with its principle to leave no U.S. service member behind. “There was a unique opportunity that was presented to rescue Sgt. Bergdahl and that is exactly what we did,” Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said.
The lack of notification angered both Republican and Democratic lawmakers at the time. Critics of the swap also argued that it went against U.S. policy not to negotiate with terrorists, and could incentivize more hostage-taking. Critics were further angered that Bergdahl was swapped for five high-ranking Taliban members who were on a list of those not eligible for transfer.
The report suggests the administration hid the swap in order to advance the president’s goal to fulfill a campaign promise to close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility. While Democrats on the committee agreed that the administration broke the law, they strongly objected in a dissenting report to the broader conclusions that the administration kept the swap secret for a political motive.
Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), chairwoman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, said the “most disturbing” finding of the report “are the calculated decisions and plans to mislead Congress and the American people as to the details and necessity of this transfer.”
“After rigorous investigation, there are still some unknowns. We still do not know if we negotiated for less than five detainees. We do not know how five was determined to be the ‘right’ number in this exchange,” she said. “However, we now know to what extent this Administration is willing to go to achieve political goals.”

Hillary Clinton testifies before the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Oct. 22. Photo: Getty
George Stephanopoulos asked her Sunday if she’d told the victims it was about the film. Clinton gave a flat “no.” She added: “I said very clearly there had been a terrorist group, uh, that had taken responsibility on Facebook, um . . .” At least four family members disagree.
Tyrone Woods’ father said he hugged Clinton and shook her hand. Then “she said we are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of my son . . . She said ‘the filmmaker who was responsible for the death of your son.’ ”
Sean Smith’s mother said Hillary is “absolutely lying . . . She said it was because of the video.” Smith’s uncle backs her up.
Glen Doherty’s sister agreed: “When I think back now to that day and what she knew, it shows me a lot about her character that she would choose in that moment to basically perpetuate what she knew was untrue.”
“What she knew” refers to Clinton’s words to daughter Chelsea the night of the assault and the next day to Egypt’s prime minister, which made it plain the secretary of state knew full well that a terror group had long planned the attack.
The lie’s even in her words at the Sept. 14 ceremony: “We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.”
Just why the administration united around this lie is another editorial. The disgrace here is Clinton’s refusal to admit her role — even pushing the fib to “comfort” the bereaved.

“This is the kind of deplorable, not only hateful, response to a legitimate security issue, but it is giving aid and comfort to ISIS and other radical jihadists,” the queen of sleaze said to ABC News host George Stephanopoulos.
In her severely unhinged mind, taking a bold stand against radical Islam is somehow equal to supporting Islamic terrorism.
Remember, though, that this despicable woman is aligned with the same deplorable party that not only refuses to secure the border and put a halt to President Barack Obama’s Syrian refugee resettlement program, but that also refuses to identify directly the threat of radical Islam.
Instead of enhancing our national security and encouraging systems to protect themselves, this shoddy Democrat administration wants to pretty much disarm all of us and then invite everybody else in the world — including people tied to radical Islam — into the party.
For whatever reason, Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama appear incapable — perhaps because of some unknown cognitive disorder — to recognize that radical Islamists care very little about us talking negatively about radical Islam or issuing allegedly “hateful” rhetoric. Why? Because radical Islamists want just one thing, which is to kill us all.
The real traitors, therefore, are the countless Democrats who eschew our national security in favor of their “social justice”-esque mission for tolerance and equality.
At the end of the day, kind and tolerant words shall provide us with zero protection against the terrorists. The only thing that will protect us, in fact, are the very guns that Rev. Falwell urged his students to obtain.
