Scary: U.S. ' Nuclear Weapons Policy Puts
Country At Great Risk. By Robert R. Monroe
Excerpt: At the dawn of the nuclear
era, when America created
its nuclear weapons laboratories (Los Alamos, Livermore and Sandia), one of their primary
missions was to avoid technological surprise. The labs were charged to conduct
advanced nuclear weapons research, development and testing of all types so that
no adversary could ever take us unawares by producing some new and dangerous
types of nuclear weapons. ... But since 1992, the U.S. government — executive branch
and Congress — has actively prevented the labs from doing work of this type.
... Monroe is a
retired Navy Vice Admiral and former director of the Defense Nuclear
Agency. (This is totally UNSAT, and
even frightening, to say the least. I, for one, hadn’t realized we had gone
so far (backwards) in such a short time. --Don Myers, Col , USMC, Ret)

Excerpt: As he has done by ignoring Congress and the Supreme

Obama push to hire
veterans into federal jobs spurs resentment
Excerpt: President Obama’s push to hire military veterans
for jobs across the government is fueling resentment in federal offices, as
longtime civil servants and former troops on the other side of the cubicle
increasingly question each other’s competence and qualifications. With veterans
moving to the head of the hiring queue in the biggest numbers in a generation,
there’s growing bitterness on both sides, according to dozens of interviews
with federal employees. (When I was a State Senator, a feminist lobbyist told
me that veteran's preference (5 points I think it was) in c\the Commonwealth's
Civil Service Law discriminated against women. I told her that because I was a
vet, I started college at 22, the age most of the discriminated women graduated
at and started their careers. "Only women who tried to join and were
rejected due to gender can claim thing," I said. ~Bob
Army is worried too
many white men lead combat units
Excerpt: U.S. Army sociologists are worried that a
lack of black officers leading its combat troops will have detrimental effect
on minorities and lead to fewer black officers in top
leadership posts. (If your son is in the military, be he black, white or other,
do you want his leader to have the right skin color or to be the most competent
to bring him home alive? ~Bob)
What can we do? By Col.
Donald J. Myers USMC (Ret)
Excerpt: What can we do is a phrase that one hears from
people who do not intend to do anything or are afraid to do something that goes
against the current tide. It is amazing what one person can achieve if one
really ignores the nay Sayers.
Excerpt: As the House Select Committee on Benghazi prepares
for its first hearing this week, a former State Department diplomat is coming
forward with a startling allegation: Hillary Clinton confidants were part of an
operation to “separate” damaging documents before they were turned over to the
Accountability Review Board investigating security lapses surrounding the Sept.
11, 2012, terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya. (Another
important report passed on by the SOS guys, still doing a great job staying on
top of the Benghazi
mess. I saw two of the security agents who were at the main building in
Benghazi get interviewed on Fox, and they left no question whatsoever about
being told to "stand down", and waiting 25 minutes before they
finally ignored the crap orders and went out to save Americans from the
attackers. There is a book out about this, which I hope hits the best seller
list. There can be no doubt of the horrific mishandling of everything in that
debacle, and the rush to try to cover it up afterwards. --Del )
Excerpt: According to The
Gazette, a cheese factory that specializes in cheese curds is shutting
down. They’re not being shut down for a specific health violation or anything
like that — they make good cheese. They’re closing up shot because compliance
with new federal regulations will require more cash than they have to spend:
... A group of Amish and Mennonite farmers established the operation as co-op

The Dems Need a Kick
From the Left. By Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu
Excerpt: We went into our Democratic primary race against
New York’s incumbent governor, Andrew Cuomo, and his running mate, Kathy
Hochul, this summer with an idea of the challenges we faced: ... We saw how the
governor had too often abandoned and betrayed core Democratic principles, and
seemed to do so with impunity. Outside party politics, he had also been accused
of breaking core ethics rules, becoming part of a corrupt system he had
promised to fix. (The bigger
problem for the Left is that their preferred president and their preferred
governors and legislators, enacting their preferred policies, have not
generated their preferred results. --

Panera Gun Free Request Draws Huge Negative
Reactions. By Dave Jolly
Excerpt: Secondly, they have created a more dangerous
environment for their customers and especially for their employees as would be
armed robbers will be more likely to target a Panera shop knowing no one will
be armed. ... Evidently, a number of other people agree with me. CNBC, one of the leading liberal
media outlets have a poll questioning people’s reactions to the Panera gun free
announcement. At the time I’m writing this, here are the results of their poll:

Hillary Clinton’s big Iowa motorcade must be part of her ‘mass movement’ on climate change. By Doug Powers
Excerpt: Hillary Clinton more or less launched another bid
for the Dem nomination in 2016 at the Harkin Steak Fry in Iowa . The meat is actually grilled, not
fried, and per one of Hillary’s contract
riders the steaks this year were cooked over select incinerating Benghazi documents and
four more copies of Leaves of Grass she found in Bill’s duffel bag.
Liberaltopia turns to
hell on Earth. By Tammy Bruce
Excerpt: Watch out. When liberals control paradise, welcome
to Paradise Lost. Case in point: Hawaii ,
the deep-blue home state of President Obama. The City Council for Honolulu , on Hawaii 's
most populous island of Oahu , has decided to send its homeless population to
another island, just outside of Honolulu
Harbor . An official state
park, Sand Island ,
as it's now known, used to be called Quarantine
Island in the 19th
century as it served as the waypoint for ships carrying passengers whom were
thought to carry contagion. Then, during World War II, it was the home to
Japanese, German and Italian internment camps.
The War on Poverty Has Been a Colossal Flop. Robert
Rector
Excerpt: Since its beginning, U.S. taxpayers have spent $22
trillion on Johnson’s War on Poverty (in constant 2012 dollars). Adjusting for
inflation, that’s three times more than was spent on all military wars since
the American Revolution. The federal government currently runs more than 80
means-tested welfare programs. These programs provide cash, food, housing and
medical care to low-income Americans. Federal and state spending on these
programs last year was $943 billion. (These figures do not include Social
Security, Medicare, or Unemployment Insurance.) (Dr. Thomas Sowell points out
that poverty had declined in the decades before the War on Poverty was
launched, but has gone up ever since. Of course, our poor have more consumer
goods and disposable income than much of the middle class in the Third World . ~Bob)
Two Vietnam Vets
Receive Medal of Honor
Excerpt: No matter how the vote turns out on Thursday in Scotland , either for independence or continued
union with Britain ,
the disintegration of the Old Continent appears almost inevitable. .. The
decomposition of the nations of Old Europe is the triumph of tribalism over
transnationalism. The heart has reasons that the mind knows not, said Pascal.
And the wild heart is winning.

Obamacare/Government Healthcare News
Obamacare's Device
Tax Grows More Devious. By Sally Pipes
Excerpt: Implementing the tax has proven nightmarish.
Administrative errors, overpayments, and erroneous penalties have grown common.
And these snafus are nothing compared to the havoc the device tax is beginning
to wreak on the economy and the job market. So the tax is raising less money
than Team Obama
promised — and causing more destruction.
Democrats Wage War on
Women, Blame Republicans. From The
Patriot Post
Republicans are waging a "war on women," and part
of their strategy is to deny basic reproductive health care. At least that's
what Democrats want women voters to believe. So when Republicans like
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal propose expanding access to birth control
by making more of it available over the counter, Democrats are thankful, right?
Wrong. Democrats need women to think Republicans are evil, which in this case
means preserving the access myth about birth control. Another big factor in the
opposition is Planned Parenthood, for which a significant portion of business
revolves around birth control. More demented still, however, is that Planned
Parenthood is the nation's single largest abortion provider, and if women use
more contraceptives, it means fewer babies to abort. Planned Parenthood is
denouncing expansion proposals because women have to pay for all their birth
control. All $9 per month. The horror!
New Questions Over
Abortion Coverage In Health Law
Excerpt: The Government Accountability Office said in a
report released late Monday that only 1 of 18 insurers it reviewed was
separately itemizing a charge for coverage of elective abortions on enrollees'
bills. That detail is important because the original compromise that President
Barack Obama sealed with anti-abortion Democrats stipulated that no federal
funds would be used to pay for elective abortions. Instead, private health
plans covering the procedure would collect a separate premium, which would be
segregated from federal subsidies for other medical services. (You mean Obama
lied about Obamacare? I'm shocked! ~Bob)
Why Are Doctors So Unhappy? By John C.
Goodman
Excerpt: Only 6 percent of doctors are happy with their
jobs, according to one survey. They commit suicide at twice the rate of the
general population. Over half are unsure they would recommend the practice of
medicine to young people. So what’s going on? These are a few things you will
discover in Sandeep Jauhar’s new memoir Doctored. ... Further, I
think concierge medicine is not for the elite few. We all could have a
concierge doctor if we freed doctors and patients to relate the way other
professionals and their clients relate.

What Exactly Is
Comprehensive Immigration Reform? Comprehensive immigration reform —
rarely has a catchphrase been so widely invoked and yet so little defined.
Why?
Excerpt: If proponents of so-called reform detailed exactly
what they wanted, American voters would never support their self-interested
agendas. Most Americans insist that existing federal immigration laws be
enforced. They are adamant that the border be shut tight to all unlawful entry.
And they prefer legal immigration to reflect merit, diversity and ethnically
blind criteria. (A heck of a question. Have we seen a nice, clear, concise
answer to it anywhere? Well.... no. What is of concern now is not a logical
system for allowing workers to come in from south of the border under
controlled conditions, to work here, have half their wages safely collected for
them, to be given to them as they return home. It's not about making sure that
the people coming in are checked to eliminate criminals, gang members,
pedophiles, etc, and that the immigrants speak good English and have some level
of saleable skills. What it's about right now is the politics of letting
something like 11 million people who broke the law to come here get something
close to a free pass on that. That the great bulk of Latino voters vote
Democrat is of course an unrelated detail, certainly couldn't have anything to
do with the enthusiasm that Democrat politicians have for an amnesty or a
policy of a different name that is the same thing. Even Nancy Pelosi says that
an Executive Order to make this happen will be challenged right up to the
Supreme Court, but betting is that Mr. Obama will not let that stop him. So we
all stand by to see what he does after November 6th. --Del )
By a Democrat: Why Illegal
Aliens Are Hard on America
and Why an Amnesty Will Not Help. By David North
Excerpt: A Democratic
candidate for the House of Representatives — one of the few that might actually
capture a GOP seat — phoned the other day to talk about immigration policy.
Having once been in his shoes (long ago I was the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House in a
GOP district), we talked for a while, and I told him I would expand on my views
in writing. Hence this letter: Dear Candidate: Too many of us in the
Democratic Party appear to be deaf to the feelings of the multitude of
non-elite Americans on the question of immigration control. Too many of us have
been soaked in the atmosphere of the Establishment, whose views of immigration
policy are often dominant in policymaking, but whose views do not mesh with the
silent majority, including probably a majority of those voting in your
district. (Nice, simple discussion of illegals and reality and why an amnesty
won't help. Actually, not only will it not help, it'll just make a bigger
mess as of course the remaining millions of very poor in Mexico and
points south will see that sneaking in here is really likely to work out well
for them in the long run. --Del )

Record Ice Coverage More Proof that Weather Still Exists

Snow? Global warming. Drought? Global warming. Hurricanes, tornadoes or the
lack thereof? Global warming. There was even an attempt by a ditzy news anchor
on CNN—is there any
other kind on CNN?-- to blame a meteorite on global warming.

Must Read: Islam’s Nightclub Brawl Jihadis from Britain
are acting out a brutality learned at home. By Theodore Dalrymple (British Psychiatrist Anthony
Daniels)
Excerpt: Youth, as everyone knows who has passed through it
some time ago, is the age not of idealism but of self-importance, uncertainty
masked by certitude and moral grandiosity untouched by experience of life — or,
of course, the age of total insouciance. It is not surprising that ideology
makes young men dangerous, for it is in the nature of ideology to answer all
the difficult questions of human existence while giving believers the illusion
of special understanding and destiny not available to others.

Talk is still just talk. By Col. Donald J. Myers USMC (Ret)
Excerpt: On Wednesday night President Obama gave a national
speech during prime time concerning his upcoming actions in dealing with the
terrorist group ISIS. We will use additional air strikes in the area to include
Syria .
We also will send additional troops to train the Iraqi forces and the rebels
fighting in Syria , but there
will be no United States
combat troops. I have enough combat experience and the study of war to know
that air strikes will not defeat an enemy. World War II ,
Korea , and Vietnam support
that premise. In addition, air strikes are most effective when they are
controlled from the ground by troops in the area. Look what a handful of
specially trained Americans did in Afghanistan when they decimated
large enemy forces.
Great Column: The President Pushes Back: President Obama’s
critics seem to be getting under his skin with their criticisms. But it appears
the President doesn’t fully grasp the substance of his critics’ complaints
about his leadership. By Walter Russell Mead
Excerpt: Most substantively, President Obama appears to
be warning Syria ’s
Assad in no uncertain terms that if Syria
fires on U.S. warplanes
conducting strikes, the United
States will crush his air defenses and leave
him so weakened that his overthrow will be certain. That is a big deal; the
legal position may be a bit dicey, but Obama is asserting the right of U.S. warplanes
to conduct any and all operations they wish anywhere over Syrian territory.
That is an ultimatum Dick Cheney could love, but it is also another red line
drawn in the sands of the Middle East . As with
all red lines, it gives the other side power; it is up to Assad rather than
Obama now whether the war in Syria
gets much bigger than originally planned. ... It is probably true that a lower profile by ISIS would have
made it more difficult to win support for airstrikes in the United States
and around the world, but that’s hardly the point. ISIS
is a master of the pornography of politics and the pornography of perverted
religion: slave girls, heads on spikes, executions uploaded to the internet,
naked defiance in the face of its enemies.

Great Column: Obama’s Sort-of War: In his view, the
current debacle has nothing to do with his own errors and
omissions. By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpt: At times the secretary of defense seems at odds
with the secretary of state. The administration seems not to be reacting to its
own intelligence information about the Islamic State. Nor is it heeding the
professional advice of the Joint Chiefs or top-ranking military officers in the
field. Instead, in the run-up to the midterm elections, Obama appears to be
guided largely by a stubborn adherence to his own past political truisms, and
that explains the current inability to articulate a strategy or craft a
coalition.
The Genocide of Mideastern Christians: Americans haven't
suddenly turned interventionist. They're moved by the Islamic State's
particular evil. By Peggy Noonan
Excerpt: President Obama would have been rocked the past few
months by five things. One is the building criticism from left and right about
his high need for relaxation – playing golf while the world burns. Another is
that he misread the significance and public power of the beheadings of American
journalists. Third, he has been way out of sync with American public opinion on
Islamic State, which must be all the more galling because he thought he knew
where Americans stood on the use of military force. Fourth, with his poll
numbers declining (32% approval for his handling of foreign policy, according
to The Wall Street Journal and NBC), it has probably occurred to him that he is
damaging not only his own but his party’s brand in foreign affairs. (Yes,
George W. Bush did the same to his party, but Mr. Obama was supposed to
reverse, not follow, that trend.) Fifth, he surely expects he is about to take
a pounding from the antiwar left.
According to Agence France-Presse, ISIS and a number of
moderate and hard-line rebel groups have agreed not to fight each other so that
they can focus on taking down the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad. ....
Moreover, the leader of the Free Syrian Army said Saturday that the
group would not take part in U.S. plans for destroying the
Islamic State until it got assurances on toppling Assad. The deal between ISIS
and the moderate Syrian groups casts doubt over President Barack Obama’s
freshly announced strategy to arm and train the groups against ISIS . (And once Assad is down, the FSA will get the chop
from ISIS . Hard to feel sorry for them.
Remember how the Chinese Communists and Nationalist agreed not to fight until Japan
was defeated? The Communists built their strength, did little fighting against
the Japanese and after Japan
was defeated, so were the Nationalists. ~Bob)
Obama’s Coalition of

Excerpt: Unfortunately France

Excerpt: At least three Somali families in the

Abdirizak Bihi. ... While foreign women who join Islamic State often envision
aiding a holy war or at least playing an active role in establishing a purist

social media accounts and other writings shows that male jihadis regard women
counterparts as little more than mating partners, said Mia Bloom, from the

Was Marco Polo an 'Islamophobe'? A Study in Continuity. By Raymond

Excerpt: This is the question I often ask myself whenever I

Excerpt: Pity poor Gen. Lloyd Austin, top commander of U.S. forces in the Middle

repeatedly rejected. In 2010, Gen. Austin advised President Obama against
withdrawing all U.S. forces
from Iraq , recommending that
the president instead leave 24,000 U.S. troops (down from 45,000) to
secure the military gains made in the surge and prevent a terrorist resurgence.

counsel, the rise of the Islamic State could have been stopped.

Confusion over
"Jihad." By Burak Bekdil
Excerpt: Although it is a common male name in Turkish
(Cihat), the Turks, and apparently many others too, have a confused mind about
the Arabic word "jihad." Most Turks have felt contempt for "the
jihadist terrorists" of al-Qaeda. They feel the same for the
"jihadist/Salafist" Islamic State that captured large swathes of
Syrian and Iraqi territory this summer, and took hostage 49 Turks, including
the consul general, at their consulate compound in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on June 11. At the
same time, thousands of Turks identified themselves as "jihadists,"
just like the IS's men, when they took to the streets to protest Palestinian
casualties and attack Israeli diplomatic missions in July and August.

Way .

directed at military targets embedded in those civilian neighborhoods - and the
UN refused.
Women’s rights
activist speaks out at Yale against Muslim ‘indoctrination’
Excerpt: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, known worldwide for her
crusade on behalf of women’s rights in Muslim regions, brought her message to Yale University Monday
night and received a standing ovation at the end of her talk. (The charm of
this piece is watching Beach poorly negotiate the politically correct path
between two perceived victim groups...women and Muslims, and in this case a
woman oppressed by Islam and speaking out against it. This is the shot across
the bow of the looming multiculturalist train wreck we are all waiting to
watch. George)
Controversial DHS
Adviser Let Go Amid Allegations of Cover Up: Elibiary let go after extremist
rhetoric, claims he improperly used classified docs. By Adam Kredo
Excerpt: Media outlets have raised
questions about the circumstances surrounding his departure,
speculating that his provocative comments about the “inevitable” return of the
Muslim “caliphate” may have played a role. New documents obtained by
the Washington Free Beacon indicate that Elibiary had no choice in
the matter, and that he may have been let go by DHS in order to minimize the
fallout from an investigation into allegations that he improperly accessed and
used classified materials obtained with his security clearance.
