GOP adds another
Senate seat as Sullivan wins Alaska
Excerpt: Republican candidate Dan Sullivan defeated
Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska ’s
U.S. Senate race Wednesday. The win gives the GOP eight Senate pickups in the
midterm elections. The party is also seeking a ninth seat in Louisiana ’s runoff in December. (I thought
his lead would hold. Think the GOP will win LA, making it nine. And so close in
NH and VA. ~Bob)
Worth Reading
Excerpt: The latest shaping of truth is almost funny because
the left's claims are so transparently self-serving. Since last Tuesday's
elections, commentator after commentator on the left has declared American
politics "dysfunctional." When Democrats win by a landslide, the left
regards the vote as testimony to the great message of the left and the good
sense of the American people. Only when Republicans win by a landslide does the
vote reflect dysfunction.
What Happened? By
Thomas Sowell
Excerpt: he most important thing that happened last week was
that the country dodged a bullet. Had the Democrats retained control of the
Senate, President Obama could have spent his last two years in office loading
the federal judiciary with judges who share his contempt for the Constitution
of the United States .
Obama Wants to
Reclassify the Internet as a Utility
Excerpt: In a recent speech, President Obama laid out his plan for
protecting the freedom of the internet. It involved reclassifying the internet
as a utility. (Utilities are, of course, heavily taxed. Look at your bills.
~Bob)
Obama seeks
government control of internet
Excerpt: Remember all this when Obama says “If you like
your internet, you can keep your internet. If you like your current provider
and plan, no one will take that away from you no matter what.” Imagine Michelle
Obama telling you where you can go and what you can say on the internet. And
never, ever forget that Barack Obama is, above all, a liar.
The knives are out
for Valerie Jarrett, the close adviser who 'gets' Obama. Top White House aide
assailed by ‘legion of detractors’ faces old maxim: somebody’s got to take the
blame other than the president
Excerpt: Last week Obama made history for losing the most House seats in
midterm elections since Truman. This week, a bumper crop of anonymous sources
has emerged to talk about how the president is being hurt not only by his own
bad decisions, but by the terrible advice of his closest advisers. At the top
of the list is The One Who Gets Obama: Valerie Jarrett.
Firing Offense? Valerie Jarrett is now scapegoat-in-chief.
By Howard Kurtz
Excerpt: The media have identified the problem with the
Obama presidency and want her tarred and feathered. Or just fired. Or
sidelined. Or made an ambassador to some faraway land. Her name is Valerie
Jarrett.
Scientists discover
'stupid virus'
Excerpt: Scientists in the U.S. discovered a virus that
actually makes people more stupid. It's called ATCV-1 and
was initially only known to appear in algae, but now researchers believe the
virus may be transferred to humans through DNA. (Who would've--or even could've--believed this: There
really IS a stupid virus. --Ron P. Already seeing jokes from both sides of the
political divide, claiming it explains the opposition. ~Bob)
NYC to stop many
small-time pot arrests, to issue summonses and violations instead
Excerpt: Thousands of people carrying small amounts of
marijuana may no longer be arrested or face criminal charges, city officials
announced Monday, marking a significant shift in how the nation's biggest
city approaches policing pot. Instead of being arrested on misdemeanor charges
that carry potential punishments of up to three months in jail, many people
will get court summonses and face non-criminal violations punishable by fines
starting at $100, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner William Bratton
said. (Think title should be "NYC Really Goes to Pot." --Barb)
The Devil’s Bargain:
The Illusion of a Trouble-Free Existence in the American Police State
Excerpt: Whether the
mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our
great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the
military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which
is not so much our enemy as our brothers’ enemy, but the one that calls itself
our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the
worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to
trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in
others.—Simone Weil, French philosopher and political activist ...It’s no
coincidence that during the same week in which the U.S. Supreme Court heard
arguments in Yates v. United States, a case in which a Florida fisherman
is being threatened with 20 years’ jail time for throwing fish that were too
small back into the water, Florida police arrested a 90-year-old man twice for
violating an ordinance that prohibits feeding the homeless in public.
Journalist Releases
“The Obama Soundbite” the Media Has Been Hiding for Years
Excerpt: But, truth be told, Obama knew “very
soon,” as in right away, that Benghazi
was indeed a terrorist attack. He even said as much to the Libyan
government the day after the attack but persisted in lying to the
American people about Benghazi, even to this day.
Veteran’s Day – On
behalf of a grateful nation…but are we?
Excerpt: "On behalf of a grateful nation." But are
we a grateful nation? While it is affirming to see the NFL start ballgames with
dedications to our men and women in the military this weekend, does it
translate across our daily experiences? Does the average citizen, or more
importantly the average school-aged child understand the significance of this
holiday, or the walking embodiments - men and women in uniform - of that
tradition?
Excerpt: Military veterans voted for Republicans by a 20
percentage-point margin over Democrats in House races last week, according to
the national
network exit poll. Veterans made up 17 percent of all voters this
year, and their strong preference for Republicans should come as no surprise --
Mitt Romney won veterans by 20 points in 2012 according to the American
National Election Studies post-election survey (the exit poll did not
ask veteran status that year).
School Tells Kids:
Stop Praying to Jesus, Singing Amazing Grace
Excerpt: Christian students at a Colorado public high
school were told they could no longer meet to pray, sing religious songs or
discuss religious topics during free time – because such activity violated the
U.S. Constitution a lawsuit filed in federal court alleges. (Apparently they
haven't read or do not understand the Constitution. --JB. funny that public
schools can have foot baths and places to pray for Muslims...~Bob)
Ted Cruz calls net
neutrality 'Obamacare for the Internet'
Excerpt: President Obama has voiced his support for strict
net neutrality regulations, but Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is not pleased. In
a statement released Monday, Obama
expressed concern that broadband providers would turn into “gatekeepers” of
online access and said the Internet should be reclassified as a utility under
Title II of the Telecommunications Act. (Gov't speak meaning "back
room" suppression of conservative news providers in favor of
those more liberal. --JB)
Only seven of the 30 Democrats from the 2006 wave will be
back next year. By Philip Bump
Excerpt: In 2006, after being in the minority for a decade,
Democrats re-took the House. Democratic candidates won 30 seats that had been
held by the opposition in the previous contest. As of January 2015, only seven
of those 30 Democrats will still be in the U.S. House of Representatives.
EU 'benefit tourism'
court ruling is common sense, says Cameron
Excerpt: A European Court of Justice ruling backing Germany 's
attempts to restrict unemployed migrants' rights to welfare has been welcomed
by David Cameron. The UK
prime minister said the decision on
so-called "benefit tourism", which could set a precedent for other EU
nations, was "simple common sense". It could allow the UK to exclude
some EU migrants from specific benefits.

Two More States Eye
Repeal of Common Core. By Kelsey Harkness
Excerpt: On the heels of Republican victories last week,
attempts to replace Common Core with homegrown standards are resurfacing in
states across the nation. Most prominently, elected officials in Wisconsin and Ohio
are spearheading efforts to reclaim more control of education.
Excerpt: An elaborate law enforcement sting operation has
led to the arrest of a 29-year-old man who was parading around North Texas as a Navy SEAL. Carlos Felipe Luna-Gonzalez
is charged with falsely representing himself as an active-duty Navy SEAL and
for accepting an award as a result of his fictitious service. (Huh. I
guess I better not wear that "V" on my Good Conduct Medal in Texas ...~Bob)
Excerpt: Last week, Joni Ernst (who my mom endorsed, by the
way!) won her race to be a U.S. Senator for the state of Iowa . She’ll be the first woman to represent
her state in Congress! I loved this line from her acceptance speech:
It’s a long way from Red Oak to Washington , from the biscuit line at
Hardee’s to the United States Senate.
Excerpt: The state of Maine
is requiring able-bodied adults who are capable of working to do so in order to
qualify for food stamps. Citing the recession, President Barack Obama issued a
waiver of the federal work requirement in 2010 and — despite continued claims
from Democrats that the economy is humming along — has not lifted
it. Republican
Gov. Paul R. LePage, who won re-election handily on Tuesday, allowed
the waiver for his state to expire.
Excerpt: Back in June, Cosmopolitan’s feminist
senior political writer Jill Filipovic lamented how purple Ohio has passed some of the most restrictive
abortion laws in the country. One of those bills signed into law by Ohio
Republican Gov. John Kasich banned abortions after 20 weeks in 2011; a bill so
controversial that it’s supported by a majority of Americans pretty
much across the board, including 60
percent of women. Yet, here’s the best part: "Kasich is running for
reelection this November, and abortion may
be a key issue in his race against Democrat Edward FitzGerald."
Worship the Veterans
Day. By Laurence M. Vance
Excerpt: Of the government’s official military appreciation
days, Veterans Day is the worst.
Veterans Day has now become a day to honor, not just those
who have served in the military during wartime, but also those who have served
during peacetime or are serving now. Veterans Day has become a day to recognize
all things military. Veterans Day is now wholly given over to praising
soldiers, flattering veterans, repeating ridiculous slogans and poems about the
military, and heaping glory, laud, and honor ad nauseam on the troops. ... My
“hate speech“ (as others will describe this article) is directed toward those
chickenhawks, armchair warriors, reich-wing nationalists, red-state fascists,
religious rightists, bloodthirsty conservatives, theocons, warvangelicals, God
and country bumpkins, Values Voters, American exceptionalists, and pro-lifers
for mass murder who worship veterans. ("Yes, makin' mock o' uniforms that
guard you while you sleep, Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're
starvation cheap; An' hustlin' drunken soldiers when they're goin' large a bit,
Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit. Then it's Tommy this,
an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, 'ow's yer soul?" But it's "Thin red

The 10 states that could decide the next Senate: The
Republican map may not look so bad after all. By James Hohmann.
Politico
Excerpt: The Senate map for 2016 might not be as bad for
Republicans as it looks. The GOP has a bigger cushion than expected for its new
majority, probably 54 seats. More veteran senators may stick around to preserve
safe seats. And some vulnerable incumbents will have committee chairmanships
that could pump up their profiles. Story Continued Below Even though
conventional wisdom suggests this may be a short-lived Republican majority,
interviews with nearly two dozen operatives in Washington and 2016 battleground states
reveal a more nuanced picture of the next Senate landscape.
Why Wall Street Loves Hillary: She's trying to sound populist, but the banks are ready to shower her campaign with cash. By William D. Cohan, Politico
Excerpt: An odd thing happened last month when, stumping
just before the midterms, Hillary Clinton came in close proximity to the woman
who has sometimes been described as the conscience of the Democratic Party.
Speaking at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston as she did her part to try to rescue
the failing gubernatorial campaign of Martha Coakley in Massachusetts, Clinton
paid deference to Senator Elizabeth Warren, the anti-Wall Street firebrand who
has accused Clinton of pandering to the big banks, and who was sitting right
there listening. “I love watching Elizabeth give
it to those who deserve it,” Clinton said to cheers.
School cancels Operation Christmas Child over lawsuit
threats. By Todd Starnes
Excerpt: A South
Carolina charter school has canceled its annual

Excerpt: Federal regulators slapped a six-month ban on most
cod fishing off New England this week and are threatening to cut next year’s

Russian defense
ministry says bomber patrols will reach Gulf of Mexico
Excerpt: He said Russian long-range bombers will conduct
flights along Russian borders and over the Arctic
Ocean . He added that "in the current situation we have to
maintain military presence in the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific, as well
as the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico ."
He said that the increasing pace and duration of flights would require stronger
maintenance efforts and relevant directives have been issued to industries.
Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers were making regular patrols across
the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans
during Cold War times, but the post-Soviet money crunch forced the military to
cut back.
Obama’s AG nominee
has seized $904 million in private property through “civil asset forfeiture”
Excerpt: Obama is trying to rush the confirmation of his new
Attorney General through the Senate before the newly elected Republican
majority takes over. But there are plenty of reasons why Senators on both sides
of the aisle should have great pause before approving Loretta Lynch. In recent
months, much has been written about the concept of "civil asset forfeiture," in which police routinely
steal billions of dollars worth of private property without even so much as
criminal charges. As it turns out, Loretta Lynch is all for it, and her US attorney’s
office has benefited from it to the tune of nearly a BILLION dollars

FBI Report Confirms
Crime Fell While Gun Purchases Soared In 2013
Excerpt: As gun sales soared in 2013--with the number of
background checks for gun sales breaking records--the FBI reports that violent
crime fell sharply below 2012 figures, and property crime rates fell sharply
too. On January 6, Breitbart
News reported there were 21,093,273 background checks for firearm
purchasers conducted in America
in 2013. And while this number of background checks represented a record, we
explained then that the number of guns sold could be many times higher.

Border Patrol agents
say agency’s gun recall puts them in danger
Excerpt: Border Patrol officials have pulled thousands of
rifles from field agents in a large-scale effort to refurbish the weaponry,
prompting the rank-and-file to complain that they've been left with the
dangerous options of sharing guns or being disarmed altogether. Nearly
one-third of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's 16,300 M4 carbine rifles
were tested by the agency's office of training and development, which
determined that more than 2,000 had the potential for malfunction. The rate of
nearly 40 percent was "more than we are comfortable with,” said CBP Deputy
Chief Ron Vitiello. "Our top priority is to make sure our agents are
safe,” said Vitiello, adding that the agency intends to eventually cycle
through all of the rifles to ensure that those in need of repair are fixed. (Can
you imagine a 1960s western, with the good guys holed up and the bad guys on
the high ground surrounding them, pinning them in and firing nonstop and the
good guy saying, "Here, I've taken my shot," and flipping the gun to
his buddy who grabs it in midair and shoots it once and then says, "Your
turn" and flips the gun back to the other one. We would have fallen off
our folding stools laughing ourselves silly. But such is the Obama decree. Total
bureaucratic stupidity or--more menacing--designed to allow illegals across the
border with largesse and no fear of hindrance from "police." Bet the
cartels aren't doing this to their members....Barb)

Ebola and Enterovirus News
Kaiser Nurses in California
Excerpt: Some 18,000 nurses in Northern
California are

standards for the Ebola virus. ... The union said in a Nov. 6 statement that
Kaiser “continued to stonewall on dozens of proposals to improve patient care

about Ebola safety protocols and protective equipment, refusing to even answer
questions by the RNs.”
It Appears Obama Has
Flown an Illegal Immigrant African Ebola Victim To USA
Excerpt: EbolaAir Aircraft N173PA appears to have picked up
an Ebola Infected Illegal African Immigrant from the island of Gran Canaria and flown him/her to the USA for
treatment.... Based on the evacuation flight path / schedule and the number of
times it disappeared and partially reappeared on the tracking software
today, our presumption is that this flight is carrying one of the 1st
foreign Ebola patients in support of Obama's policy to import foreign Ebola
victims into the USA. Given the importance of Gran Canaria to US operations,
such an evacuation would make geo-political sense especially since Spain 's
Catalan region is seeking independence.
Race Card News
Excerpt: A UNC learning specialist hired to help athletes
found that during the years 2004 to 2012, 60 percent of 183 members of the
football and basketball teams read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels.
Eight to 10 percent read below a third-grade level. These were black
high-school graduates, and their high-school diplomas were clearly fraudulent.
How cruel is it for UNC to admit students who have little chance of
academically competing on the same basis as its other students? Black students
so ill-equipped run the risk of ridicule and reinforcing white stereotypes of black
mental incompetence. If these students are to retain their athletic eligibility
or minimum GPA requirements, universities must engage in academic fraud.
(Progressives believe that it's racist to expect black students to do minimum
college-level work in order to get a college degree. ~Bob)
Excerpt: Bob Woodward, the Washington Post journalist who
broke the Watergate story, was on Face The Nation last Sunday. What he said
about Barack Hussein Obama was quite surprising; he said Democrats, even before
the election, have been disgusted by Obama's extreme arrogance and refusal to
listen to anyone except his own counsel. Woodward says he's talked to many
Congressional Democrats and he says they're saying the same thing about Obama
that Republicans are. Says they have the same problems dealing with "The
Anointed One" as those on the other side of the aisle. Once Democrat
called Obama no more than a "hologram", so shallow and weak that he's
barely visible. Frustrating Democrats the most is that Obama simply lives in
his own little personal world and absolutely refuses to believe that his
actions have brought down his own party. Privately Democrats suggest that
Obama's Executive Orders and his circumventing Congress is as disgusting to
them as it has been to the Republicans. His failure to consult with Congress,
his absolute refusal to come up to the Hill and try to work with Congress as
poisoned the well for anything to get done.

Excerpt: The Minneapolis public
school system announced a major new district-wide policy for disciplining
students: any suspension of a non-white student requires the district

color are 10 times more likely to receive a suspension than white
students. The Minneapolis school
system has an enrollment of over 32,000 students. Seventy percent are non-white....Johnson claims that suspensions
meted out to minority students were all too often based on behavior that would
not have led to a suspension for a white student. (Who wants to be a teacher
when the students can get away with murder because of their skin color? BLP

Excerpt: To begin with, on Thursday (6 November), notorious

his words, they wanted to hear his ideas.
Jim Hoft (Gateway Pundit) notes that
Masri is a “criminal cop-hater and Hamas supporter,” which does pretty much sum
the guy up if you follow through with the most cursory search on him. ... The
“protesters” showed their hand on Sunday when a group calling itself RbG Black
Rebels announced
a $5,000 bounty on Darren Wilson (and $1,000 bounty on any of his
family members). The bounties are offered for “finding” Wilson or a family member.
Obamacare/Government Healthcare News
Excerpt: The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear King
v. Burwell, an important case about Obamacare’s subsidies (tax credits) to
health insurers. Plaintiffs argue that in the 36 states with federal Obamacare
exchanges, subsidies cannot be paid legally. If no tax credits can be paid,
neither the individual mandate to buy health insurance nor the employer mandate
to offer insurance can be enforced. Few people would voluntarily buy health
insurance from an Obamacare exchange if the health insurers on the exchanges
did not receive subsidies to enroll people. The premiums would be too
high otherwise. Experts expect that the Supreme Court might decide
on King v. Burwell in July, in which case Obamacare will end with a
bang.
Interesting: Rubio,
Ryan Prepare Obamacare Alternative
Excerpt: Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio has teamed up with
Wisconsin GOP Rep. Paul Ryan to develop a conservative alternative to
Obamacare, as congressional Republicans renewed their commitment to repealing
the president's signature healthcare law. "I've been working on [an
alternative] with Paul Ryan that we hope to introduce soon," Rubio said
recently during an interview on a Denver radio station. "We want to have
every American to be able to buy the kind of health insurance they want at a
price that they are willing to buy and from any company in America that
will sell it to you. And you should be able to buy it with either tax credit or
pre-tax dollars, just like your employer pays for it if they decide to give it
to you. And that's a lot better than the disaster we have right now."
(Won't this be interesting? They will have the advantage of seeing what in
ObamaCare is worth copying, and what really needs to be avoided. That should
make it possible to come up with something simpler, better, less of a monster
bureaucracy. --Del. Rep. Tom Price, MD, has offered a good alternative for
years, ignored by the media who claim the GOP has no alternative. ~Bob)

Jonathan Gruber:
ObamaCare architect's elitist contempt for ordinary Americans
Excerpt: Gruber’s arrogance became public only because a
conservative group, American Commitment, posted his remarks on YouTube. His
words shock without surprising. ObamaCare was the largest piece of
legislation ever passed on a strict party-line vote, and it marked the height
of Democratic power. Two midterm elections later, Dems have lost both the House
and the Senate, and ObamaCare was a prime reason. (Per report, Gruber paid
$400,000 for his services including a face-to-face with Obama, who called him
"A credible and unbiased source." While claiming transparency, Regime
functions on "What you don't know won't hurt you until it's too late"

Medicare paid for
drugs after patients had died, report finds
Excerpt: Call it drugs for the departed: Medicare’s
prescription program kept paying for costly medications even after patients were
dead. The problem was traced back to a head-scratching bureaucratic rule that’s
now getting a second look. A report coming out Friday from the Health and Human
Services Department’s inspector general says the Medicare rule allows payment
for prescriptions filled up to 32 days after a patient’s death — at odds with
the program’s basic principles, not to mention common sense.
Obama Refuses to Give
Up his Dictatorship
Excerpt: Proving once again the will of the American voters
means less than nothing to him, Obama almost immediately announced that his
replacements-for-the-American-people-with-his-illegal-aliens plan will proceed.
He is substituting the current majority and minority ethnic races in the
USA—the ones who finally woke up and saw the real writing on the wall—with his
unschooled illegals from Central America and beyond... In other words, the
American people are still too stupid to know what they want and their “betters”
(aka “Obama syndicate”) will have to force it down their throats…again.
Another Deadly
Disease Invades With Illegals. 'Latin American nemesis' follows 'unaccompanied

Excerpt: Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vilet, a physician who has worked
on medical projects in Central and South America since 2009, warned in an article
entitled “Deadly Diseases Crossing Border with Illegal Immigrants,” published June
25, that illegal immigrants from Latin America are bringing diseases the U.S.
had controlled or virtually eradicated, including TB, dengue fever, hepatitis,
malaria, measles and Chagas disease. She warned, “A public health crisis, the
likes of which I have not seen in my lifetime, is looming.” She pointed out
that most American physicians don’t think to check for Chagas disease, because
it’s so uncommon in the U.S.
(Local news in my cit tonight announced a case of active TB at a local high
school. Said "parents with concerns should contact the school." Like,

Massive government
cover-up? Obama border policy likely caused deadly virus epidemic. By Allen West
Excerpt: It’s becoming increasingly apparent President
Barack Hussein Obama will eschew our constitutional system of separation of
powers and coequal branches of government to implement immigration reform by
executive order — completely unconstitutional and represents rule by edict, not
governance by rule of law. This isn’t just bad policy, it’s a
complete violation of policy due to abject belligerence and
tyrannical rule. However, it wasn’t too long ago I
posed a question — what if the Obama administration policy of allowing
an influx of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants into America this summer
and subsequently dispersing them was related to the mysterious respiratory
illness afflicting American children — known as the Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) –
in effect a form of biological warfare?

The coming climate onslaught: President Obama readies a
sweeping list of executive actions. By Andrew Restuccia and Erica Martinson,
Politico
Excerpt: The Obama administration is set to roll out a
series of climate and pollution measures that rivals any president’s
environmental actions of the past quarter-century — a reality check for
Republicans who think last week’s election gave them a mandate to end what they
call the White House’s “War on Coal.” Tied to court-ordered deadlines, legal
mandates and international climate talks, the efforts scheduled for the next
two months show that President Barack Obama is prepared to spend the remainder
of his term unleashing sweeping executive actions to combat global warming.

Must Read: The West's Dangerous Enchantment with
Islam: Muslim Women Thrown "Under the Bus." By Uzay Bulut
Excerpt: There are no women's rights in Islam; there are no
women's rights in most Muslim countries. And there is no freedom of expression
in these countries; people have become virtually voiceless. ... If one is
called "racist" or "Islamophobe," the answer is that these
are accusations bullies always use to silence people who disagree with them.
The real Islamophobes are those who degrade, abuse and kill their fellow
Muslims. The worst thing any Western progressive or feminist can do in the face
of the suffering caused by Islamic teachings, is to stay silent. Uzay Bulut is
a Turkish journalist based in Ankara .

Militant Group in Egypt Vows Loyalty to ISIS
Excerpt: They have slaughtered hundreds of Egyptian soldiers
and police officers, recruited experienced fighters and staged increasingly
sophisticated raids from the Western desert to the Sinai
Peninsula . They have beheaded informants and killed an American in
a carjacking, say Western officials familiar with intelligence reports. On
Monday, Egypt’s most dangerous
militant group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, also pledged obedience to the

significant international affiliate in the bet that the link will provide new
money, weapons and recruits to battle the government in Cairo .

Excerpt: In Britain
these days, galloping toward ruin is a more popular sport than soccer, and so
an update is in order. Here are ten of the latest indications that Britons can
look forward to a society that is both more authoritarian and more dangerous
than any free nation can long endure.
(Muslim) Gang rips medals from army veteran on his

Wellington Regiment was left traumatised with cuts to his lip as the Asian
youths fled laughing with their 'trophies'. Mr Gill described the mocking gang

Islamic extremism is 'almost inevitable' in coming months, security chiefs have

of the so-called Islamic State insurgency.
The Fallacies Of
Moorish Spain
Excerpt: The golden age of Moorish Spain, when Muslims,
Christians, and Jews lived in peaceful harmony under a Muslim Caliph, has
become a favorite reference for those promoting the fiction that Islam is
capable of peacefully coexisting with Western Industrial Civilization. However,
it seems abundantly clear to me that it was the Caliph's well founded fear of
Islam, and his aggressive efforts to protect himself from Islamic factional
violence that enabled the golden age of Cordoba ,
not the claimed "tolerance" of Islam. The fabled golden age started
in the new capital city of Cordoba
when Ab-ar-Rahman 1 became Emir of Cordoba in 756. Ab-ar-Rahman's family had
ruled both Damascus and Cordoba , but in 750 all but Ab-ar-Rahman were
massacred in a brutal civil war between Islamist factions. Fearing for his
life, Ab-ar-Rahman fled Syria
for Cordoba . He
established himself as Caliph of Cordoba, with his main interest being to
recreate his vision of "heaven on earth".
Can Islamic State
survive without Baghdadi? By Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi
Excerpt: In the wake of US-led air strikes on an Islamic
State (IS) convoy near the Iraqi city of Mosul on Friday, media have been awash
with rumours that IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed or injured. The
apparent silence of IS sources on the issue could be evidence that something
has happened to al-Baghdadi. But there was a similar lack of official IS denial
of rumours that the group's spokesman, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, had been killed
in air strikes earlier this year - something that later turned out to be
unfounded.

Qatar warns
Washington to support Muslim Brotherhood, likens group to “Christian democratic
parties.” By Raymond Ibrahim
Excerpt: The Center for National Interest in Washington, DC,
recently gave Muhammad Jaham al-Kuwari, Qatar’s ambassador to the United
States, a platform to
spew out Al Jazeera style propaganda, specifically in the context of Islam’s
“good cop/bad cop” routine. Among other pro-Brotherhood propaganda, Qatar ’s ambassador stressed the need for Washington to support
what he described as “Islamic democratic parties”—naming the Muslim Brotherhood
by way of example—as the best way to counter “militancy” and “terrorism.”
Senior Saudi Salafi
Cleric: 'ISIS Is A True Product Of Salafism'
Excerpt: "ISIS is a
true product of Salafism, and we must deal with it with full
transparency." This statement was made not by liberal Muslim elements, who
regularly criticize Salafism, but by Sheikh 'Aadel Al-Kalbani, former imam of
the Grand Mosque in Mecca
and a Salafi himself, hence its importance. Al-Kalbani is not the first Salafi
to come out against ISIS – other Saudis have condemned the organization's
conduct and operations – but Al-Kalbani has gone farther in his criticism: he
has come out against the principles of the Salafi perception from which ISIS
and its ilk draw, and has called for a rationalistic approach to Islam's
distant past and what it means for Islam today instead of a blind reenactment
of it.
Excerpt: The caliphate “is not something bad . . . for the
majority of Muslims,” concluded visiting professor Emad Shahin during a
recent briefing titled
“Boko Haram, ISIS, and the Caliphate Today” at Georgetown University’s Prince
Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU).
Important: Amid Declining US Influence ,
China 's Mideast
Footprint Grows. By David P. Goldman
Excerpt: The implosion of America 's
geopolitical position has placed risks and opportunities at China 's doorstep, to Beijing 's great surprise. A year ago, Chinese
officials privately reassured visitors that their country would "follow
the lead of the dominant superpower" in matters relating to Middle East
security, including Iran 's
attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. For the past several decades, China has allowed the US
to look out for the Persian Gulf while it increased its dependency on Persian Gulf oil.
Excerpt: Deadly, unorganized Palestinian terrorism and
violent disturbances fueled by ongoing incitement have surged across Israel and the
Palestinian territories in recent weeks. Israel 's security forces are in the
midst of an extensive effort to contain the wave before it deteriorates into a
full-blown "intifada."
MUSLIM MASSES:
Violating Freedom Wherever They Go
Excerpt: No matter what Western country Muslims emigrate to
or settle in…of this one thing you can be sure: They will violate freedom. Simply
look at the places in Europe they have
occupied. Muslims move into a country, refuse to assimilate and then
demand…under the guise of minority status…that those in the Host country bow
and accommodate their beliefs/ideology. But don’t take my word for it, here’s a
past guest on my show, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff of Austria :
Important: Russia
to build Iran
Excerpt: Russia
has agreed to build up to eight nuclear reactors in Iran ,
12 days before a deadline for a deal to curb Iran 's nuclear activity. The
deal agreed by Russia
and Iran
envisages the construction of two reactors, with scope for a further six. (I
bet Putin takes Hillar's "Reset" button to every cabinet meeting for
a laugh. Bu, of course, Iran
could give a bomb to the Chechen Muslim Rebels. That would end things with a
bang. Be just like those guys. ~Bob)
