Update
I think we got 6-8 inches, not bad. Minus two when I got up
to go to rehab this morning. Expected to be minus 8 tonight. I did 1.3 miles on
the treadmill in 30 minutes, plus back to normal on the four weight training
machines I use. Eye is great--looking forward to having the right one done in
April. ~Bob

Excerpt: There’s a different dynamic at work now,
particularly if Clinton
waits a few more months to make
clear exactly what she is going to do in 2016. We are rapidly approaching
the point of no return for her and Democrats. That is, if she were suddenly to
decide not to run in, say, two months, there would be an overwhelming sense of
doom within the party. The shock would reverberate for weeks, or maybe much
longer, making it hard for anyone looking to fill the void she left behind. Now,
that doom would eventually be followed by a wild scramble among the Bidens,
Martin O’Malleys and, yes, even Elizabeth Warrens of the party for the donors,
activists and staffers who had been assumed to be part of the Clinton machine.
Excerpt: Scared of federal intervention, lawmakers in Colorado are working on
a bill to prevent welfare users from accessing cash at ATM machines in
marijuana shops. The policy of restricting access to certain ATMs already holds
for liquor stores, casinos and guns ships, The
Associated Press reports. Republican state Sen. Vicki Marble is worried
that the federal government might aggressively interfere in Colorado if there’s any hint that welfare
users are spending their benefits on drugs. The nascent pot industry has been
plagued with rumors that low-income users with electronic benefits cards (EBTs)
jumped on the opportunity to load up on marijuana. National Review Online found
that over a six-month period ending in January 2014, welfare
recipients withdrew $23,608.53 dollars at marijuana dispensaries. How
much of that total was spent at marijuana shops is unknown. (So they withdraw
cash elsewhere, then go to the pot shop, liquor store, casino or gun shop.

Excerpt: Six weeks ago, a Kentucky county passed a right-to-work
ordinance in hopes of attracting new businesses. It already appears to be
working. Warren County, Ky., adopted the countywide right-to-work ordinance on
Dec. 19, after it became clear the state wasn’t going to move in that direction.
... “When our local leaders came to us and said without right to work we are
sending away 75 percent of out-of-town job prospects, I knew we had to act,”
said Warren County Attorney Amy Milliken. “Since we passed the ordinance, in
the past six weeks, we’ve had two site selectors and one international site
selector.”
Excerpt: Five years ago I began an experiment — not of my
own devising — to study censorship in Vietnam . In 2009, I signed a
contract to publish one of my books in Hanoi .
Called “The Spy
Who Loved Us,” the book tells the story of Pham Xuan An, Vietnam ’s most
celebrated journalist during the Vietnam War. (He ended his career as bureau
chief for Time magazine in Saigon .) Only after
the war did we learn that An had received a dozen military medals as a
communist spy and served as North Vietnam’s deadliest secret weapon. One might
think that a book about a “Hero of the People’s Armed Forces” would be
published in Vietnam without
difficulty, but nothing is published in Vietnam without being
censored. (What this reporter has discovered is not news at all to those
of us who have followed the course the communists set, not just in 1975, but
starting much earlier, in 1954. This is a logical part of an atheist state,
where no rights come from God, all rights come from the state. And the state
gets to protect itself in any and every way it sees fit, which includes heavy
indoctrination of all children in school, control of the press, maintenance of
all kinds of police forces that examine any and all details of the lives of
anyone who comes to their interest, and a court system that is a rubber stamp
for sending any dissident of any sort off to jail. When the people at the top
are themselves totally corrupted by materialism, which makes a total travesty
of the ideals of Marxism, then it all just gets worse. They become paranoid
about any dissent, and tighten the controls even more. And censorship goes to
the point where really stupid measures are taken, to ensure not the tiniest bit
of unapproved information is ever seen by the people. Why should free men be
aware of and fear the unchecked growth of the state? For very good reasons. --Del )
2016: The Search
for a Commander-in-Chief Begins. By Roger Simon
Excerpt: With uncounted strains of Islamic radicalism
metastasizing across the globe like some new version of the Plague, lopping off
heads with no antidote in sight, and the Iranian ayatollahs on the brink of
nuclear weapons thanks to a U.S. administration that seems almost eager to help
them get them (most recently apparently switching allegiance in the Syrian
civil war to Iran’s client Assad), America, it has become evident, has no
commander-in-chief, at least not one who is wholeheartedly (or even partially)
on the side of the West. And the one we have — such as he is — humiliates our
military on a practically daily basis, a sure prescription for defeat. Ten
years ago if someone told you Shariah law would come to America , you would probably have
shrugged, possibly even laughed. It isn’t so funny anymore. (I’m not laughing. They
evidently lash bloggers.) (They don't lash bloggers who die with a gun in their
hand. ~Bob)

Excerpt: Hundreds of thousands of people marched through Madrid today in a show
of strength by a fledgling radical leftist party, as it becomes the latest
European political organisation to gain widespread support for its
anti-austerity stance. Podemos ('We Can') supporters from across Spain
converged around the Cibeles fountain today before packing the avenue leading
to Puerta del Sol square in what was the party's largest rally to date, as it
hopes to emulate the success of Greece's Syriza party in the Spanish general
election later this year. (The fiscal collapse gathers steam in Europe . "Apres libéralisme le deluge." ~Bob)
Pataki exploring 2016 White House run

to meet with political figures and citizens, and "lay out my ideas"

First Steps for
America: Text of Jindal speech 19 January 2015 to Henry Jackson Society in
London
Excerpt: My objective in this speech is to speak clearly
about what I believe to be America 's
proper role in international affairs; to speak bluntly about the nature of the
threats we face and the recent tragic events in France ; and to suggest what I think
is the way forward. The first step for America , and for any nation that
wants to protect its own freedom and encourage it everywhere is to have a
strong economy. It all starts there. Without a strong economy, it at some point
becomes impossible to build and sustain a strong military.
How the Democrats
Plan to Defeat Scott Walker: Republicans should take note and
not let them define him. By Michael Auslin
Excerpt: It’s hard to overestimate the importance of this Slate
article, “Divide and Conquer,” by Jamelle Bouie. He has done the GOP
a favor by revealing the Democratic party’s strategic plan for defeating Scott
Walker in 2016: smearing him as a “divisive” candidate who will send dog
whistles to his white supporters and seek to run the table with the
still-majority white voters to win the White House. This article is the 2015
equivalent to the Zimmerman Telegram, and the GOP deserves to lose the White
House if it ignores it. Governor Walker and the RNC will repeat Mitt Romney’s
fatal mistake if they let this become the national narrative.

Obama’s Trillion
Dollar Nuclear Weapons Gamble: Why is the president is proposing a
multi-billion dollar nuclear arsenal overhaul that is expensive, dangerous, and
does nothing to make the United
States
Excerpt: President Barack Obama will propose spending
cuts for many federal programs in the 2016 budget request he’ll send to
Congress on Monday, but not for nuclear weapons. Quite the contrary, Obama’s
administration is proposing to go on a nuclear weapons spending spree. This is
an expensive and profound mistake, and one that ignores the limited
contribution that nuclear weapons make to U.S. security.
Army Deletes Tweet
About ‘Chinks In Armor’ After People Cry Racism. Apparently,
being “offended” is a force so powerful that not even the U.S.
Excerpt: The U.S. Army has deleted a tweet that used the
term “chinks” in armor after people freaked out that the same word can be
used in a completely different context as a racial slur against people of
Chinese descent. “Chinks in special ops’ digital and physical armor poses
challenges, experts say,” the tweet read, followed by a link to a news
release about how terrorists’ using social media has left a hole —
dare I say, a chink in — our country’s defenses. (I suppose farm catalogs
better not advertise "hoes" any more. There was a guy in DC who was
fired for using the word "niggardly," which black writers use,
nothing to do with race. But he was hired after it turned out he was gay, and
the gays raised hell. ~Bob)~Bob)

Excerpt: According to law enforcement, two men who were

having dinner in the restaurant as a customer then pulled his concealed weapon
and engaged the shooter, killing him as he came through the doorway. (He

herself in a bathroom closet with a shot gun. When Wasson broke in, the girl

Every Sharpton business known has been dissolved for failure to comply
with tax rules.. By Jillian Kay Melchior
Excerpt: So far, every for-profit enterprise started by Al
Sharpton and known to National Review Online has been shut down in at least one
jurisdiction for failure to pay taxes, a review of public records in New York and Delaware
reveals. Records show that Sharpton's beleaguered for-profit entities often
overlap and intertwine, some sharing ties with the reverend's nonprofit
organization, National Action Network. Their financial records are copious,
confusing, and sometimes outright bizarre, and together, they depict persistent
financial woes for Sharpton, who also personally owes New York State

Another change to "settled law"? White House Seeks to Limit Health Law’s Tax Troubles.
By Robert Pear
Excerpt: Obama administration officials and other supporters
of the Affordable Care Act say they worry that the tax-filing season will
generate new anger as uninsured consumers learn that they must pay tax
penalties and as many people struggle with complex forms needed to justify tax
credits they received in 2014 to pay for health
insurance. The White House has already granted some exemptions and is
considering more to avoid a political firestorm. Mark J. Mazur, the secretary
for tax policy, said up to six million taxpayers would have to “pay a fee this
year because they made a choice not to obtain health care coverage that they
could have afforded.” (If the President can change laws at will without the
consent of Congress, why do we need a Congress? ~Bob)
If You Received a Higher Obamacare Subsidy Than You Were
Eligible For, You Don’t Have to Pay It Back This Year. By Andrew Kloster
Excerpt: When faced with unpopular requirements of law, the
Obama administration has repeatedly ignored them—despite the fact that
President Obama signed Obamacare—and it is doing so yet again: The IRS recently
announced that it
would waive a tax penalty for some taxpayers. In other words, some people
received more money than they were entitled to from the federal government to
help buy insurance on federal and state Obamacare exchanges. The law states
that if people received too much, they would have to pay it back. However, the
IRS will waive the 2014 late payment penalty for those who received an
excessive premium tax credit.

partially to blame for all the destructive volcanoes around the world.
Obama's Offshore Drilling Deal. By Jeffrey Folks

years I’ll be leaving town and will have no authority or ability to pay you
back. And by the way, I promised to pay you back on a similar deal five years

Religion of Peace News
Excerpt: There are two models for fighting terrorism. We can
see the terrorists as an external invading force that has to be destroyed or as
an internal element in our society to be managed. In the War on Terror, Bush
saw terrorists as an external force that had to be fought while Obama sees them
as an internal element to be managed. And while both men signed off on some of
the same tactics, their view of the conflict at the big picture level was
fundamentally different. (Political Islam is a cancer that must be excised To
try to accommodate to this alien, supremacist ideology would be fatal. Europe is on the verge of succumbing. See this and the
next article, one from an American observer, one from an Arab. Cordially, Larry Greenberg)
Excerpt: Two of the Gitmo terrorists released by Obama had
threatened to assassinate Bush.
Muhammed Ali Husayn had “addressed letters to the US President
and Congress threatening punishment from Allah, stating that it is ‘time to be
destroyed, suffer and lose.’ Detainee has also threatened that the US President
would ‘taste the death,’ telling him to await ‘the humiliation by the swords of
Islam.’
Excerpt: Europe's policies of encouraging groups such as
Hamas, which constantly espouse violence, demolishes the Palestinian effort to
achieve a responsible Palestinian state that finally could end the
conflict with Israel .
The West has been duped. The French have naïvely taken the bait: they now
associate Palestinian "Resistance" with the courageous French
underground Résistance that fought the Germans in World War II. They
incorrectly assume that the Palestinian "Resistance' must be a good thing,
too. But the Palestinian Resistance bears no resemblance to the French Résistance of
Word War II. There is no way to compare them. The Palestinian
"Resistance" is nothing more than terrorist organizations repressing
their own people. They do not resist an evil force; they are an evil
force.
Suspected U.S. drone strike kills al Qaeda militants in Yemen
Excerpt: A suspected U.S.
drone strike on a car in Yemen killed
three men believed to be al Qaeda militants on Saturday and possibly another
drone crashed in a different part of the country, residents said. The incidents
suggest there has been no let up in the U.S. stealth programme against
suspected militants despite the resignation of the president who backed the
programme.
Excerpt: China 's
"New Silk Road" might become history's most ambitious investment in
infrastructure. Some Chinese strategists predict an Israeli role in the project
on par with, or possibly even more important than, that of Turkey . China
calls the project "One Belt and One Road," referring to a belt of
railroads, highways, pipelines and broadband communications stretching through
China to the West, and a "maritime Silk Road" combining sea routes
with port infrastructure from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean. Israel 's location makes it possible for the
Jewish state to "play the role of bridgehead for 'One Belt and One Road ' with the
completion of the 'Red-Med' rail project," said Dr. Liu Zongyi at a
November seminar at Remnin

The Greatest Threat
in Syria Comes from Iran
Excerpt: Both are ideologically committed to the destruction
of Israel and are trying to
establish a new operations stage against Israel
on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights --
something that Assad has resisted for years. Hezbollah seeks an additional
arena from where it can harm Israel, as conducting operations against the
Jewish state from Lebanon is problematic due to domestic political constraints
(primarily fear of escalation and spillover effects on the Lebanese economy). Iran has a perennial interest in bleeding Israel .
Creating a new threat from Syria
serves this purpose. A new front in Syria will also to enhance its
ability to deter an Israeli attack on its nuclear installations.
Worth Reading
Excerpt: In early 2015, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria , or simply “the Islamic
State,” as news organizations now have it, has escalated its murders,
massacres, persecutions and push for territory. The rise of ISIS
has been rapid, but it should come as no surprise to Western leaders familiar
with history. Barely 100 years ago, in early 1915, another Islamic state was
mounting a similar campaign. That would be the Ottoman empire, specifically Turkey , where
Armenians had long been marginalized and ostracized. As Christians the Armenians
had virtually no legal rights and no recourse in Islamic courts. CUP
propagandist Ziya Gokalp believed the Turks could only revitalize by getting
rid of non-Muslim elements.
Excerpt: An Egyptian court has labeled the Ezzedin al-Qassam
Brigades, Hamas' military wing, a terrorist organization. "The court ruled
to ban the Qassam Brigades and to list it as a terrorist group," Judge
Mohamed al-Sayid said Saturday in an interview with Reuters. The decision came
as a result of a suit brought by Egyptian attorney Samir Sabri that accused the Qassam Brigades of
financing and participating in attacks in Egypt against police, military and
other targets. Hamas has diverged from its goal of fighting Israel and now aims to undermine Egypt 's
internal security, according to the Egyptian court.
Turkish Islamists: Je

Excerpt: On January 16, Muslims in Istanbul 's devout Fatih district went to the
mosque for their usual Friday prayers. Before crowds appeared in
front of the mosque, everything looked normal. It was going to be just another
day of quiet prayers. But this time, mosque-goers gathered earlier than the
usual hour. They were there to hold funeral services (in absentia) for the
terrorists who perpetrated the murderous attack on Charlie Hebdo in
Paris -- the Kouachi brothers. Then the worshippers at the mosque held a demonstration with a banner and placards:

Excerpt: The same day the generals testified, Kimberly
Dozier of the Daily Beast reported that Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a retired
director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, had told a Washington conference: “You cannot defeat an
enemy you do not admit exists.” The audience of military and intelligence
professionals applauded. Officials, he continued, are “paralyzed” by the
complexity of the problems connected to militant Islam, and so do little,
reasoning that “passivity is less likely to provoke our enemies.” These
statements come on the heels of the criticisms from President Obama’s own
former secretaries of defense.
Excerpt: A court in Egypt
has upheld death sentences on 183 Muslim Brotherhood supporters over a 2013
attack on a police station near Cairo .
The men were convicted over the deaths of at least 11 officers in Kerdasa. The
attack took place after Egyptian military forces cracked down on Islamist
supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi that July.

daughter Lama, who suffered multiple injuries including a crushed skull, broken
back, broken ribs, a broken left arm and extensive bruising and burns. Social
workers say she had also been repeatedly raped and burnt.
Fayhan al-Ghamdi admitted using a cane and cables to inflict
the injuries after doubting his five-year-old daughter’s virginity and taking
her to a doctor, according to the campaign group Women to Drive. Rather than
getting the death penalty or receiving a long prison sentence for the crime,
Fayhan al-Ghamdi served only a few months in jail before a judge ruled the
prosecution could only seek ‘blood money’. (Shari'a--it's not just a bad

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/dgreenfield/the--islamic-radical/imaginary
http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/dgreenfield/the--islamic-radical/imaginary
Excerpt: The debate over Islamic terrorism has shifted so
far from reality that it has now become an argument between the administration,
which insists that there is nothing Islamic about ISIS, and critics who contend
that a minority of Islamic extremists are the ones causing all the problems. But what makes an Islamic radical, extremist? Where is the
line between ordinary Muslim practice and its extremist dark side? It can’t be
beheading people in public. Saudi Arabia just did that and was praised for its
progressiveness by the UN Secretary General, had flags flown at half-staff in
the honor of its deceased tyrant in the UK and that same tyrant was honored by
Obama, in preference to such minor events as the Paris Unity March and the
Auschwitz commemoration. (Another neat article by Daniel Greenfield. Who is of
course one of those awful Islamophobes, but you can see here he's been
sincerely trying to figure out who is radical and who is not. A tough
proposition. --Del )

group to be a terrorist organization last year, the Muslim
Brotherhood decided start flexing their muscles in the United States. Last
year, the US Council of

grounds of Chicago , Illinois
Excerpt: he President says he doesn’t want to “quibble with
labels” by calling ISIS “radical Islamists” “Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you
think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that
one of them is wrong.” – Ayn Rand. The refusal of the Obama administration
to label radical Islamic extremism “radical Islamic extremism” has become one
of the most fascinatingly dumb episodes to watch unfold. There has always been
trepidation on the part of liberals—specifically Obama—to call out Islamic
extremism, but over the last several weeks, it has become laughable.
Really? See articles: Obama says terrorists not motivated by true Islam
Excerpt: “I think that for us to be successful in fighting
this scourge, it’s very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9
percent of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for —
order, peace, prosperity,” Mr. Obama said on CNN. “And so I don’t quibble with
labels.”

suicide-bombing civilians is justified. Forty percent of Muslims in
the Palestinian territories and 39 percent of Muslims in Afghanistan said
attacking civilian targets to defend Islam is often or sometimes justified.
Further, 18 percent of Muslims in Afghanistan and the Palestinian
territories said such actions are “often” justified.
