Excerpt: The DNC should be charged with crime against the American citizenry. Charge: For conspiratorial strategy and tactics of hiding, in plain site, their frontrunner candidate for president. First Count: Scheduling and carrying on debates on obscure days and at times when most people are distracted with lighter, more entertaining activities and television viewing. For example, a debate last night.
Excerpt: One of the more worrisome trends in the modern US Armed Forces – indeed, it’s happened almost all across the West – has been the expansion of “elites.” “Elites” may, in this case, be taken as pretty much equivalent to “Special Operations Forces.” Note, here, that while I will concentrate on the Army, what I have to say is approximately as true of the other services. This expansion has taken several forms. The first step, dating to well before the current war, was the creation of USSOCOM, United States Special Operations Command, in 1987. We can call that “SOCOM” for shorts. While it has never really been admitted to, SOCOM is the fifth uniformed combatant service, along with the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps, being independent of other services, having direct links to the highest command authorities, having its own – perhaps not always open – budget, having the unique distinction of being the only unified combatant command ever created by act of congress, and having the political wherewithal to place its own candidate in position to be selected as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is not entirely clear to me that the creation of SOCOM has been justified by events nor that the committee approach to dealing with military problems is superior to the “designate who is in charge and give him UCMJ and rating authority” approach. Still, that’s an arguable point and I’d be willing to listen to arguments to the contrary.1 (The Marines always considered the whole Corps to be elite, why they resisted the having Raiders in WWII. When I was in back in the 60s, Recon was considered elite to match SF, Seals etc. Now they have had to give in--too must budget flows to special operations forces.

Obama: Security Clearance for Muslim Brotherhood, Jihadists, Not Jewish Dentists. Jihadists, Yes, Pro-Israel Jews, No. By Daniel Greenfield
Excerpt: If you're a member of a Islamic terror group, you can and will get security clearance. If you're working at Fort Hood Del. Why are there no lawn signs such as "Jewish Lives Matter," "Zoroastrian Lives Matter" or "Assyrian Christian Lives Matter?" At this point, I am convinced that liberal cant with its attendant confirmation bias has produced the mindless political correctness that afflicts our culture and its poor policies.

Excerpt: How much more slaughter of innocents in the name of Islam do we need to endure before the free nations of the world wake up and admit that we are at war with the ideology of Islamism? We are in a global struggle of a magnitude we have not seen since the end of the Cold War — and this time we are fighting an enemy whose natural constituency includes almost one-fourth of the world's population. The steady drumbeat of Islamist violence around the world has now reached a climax with the horrific atrocities inParis and San Bernardino . No longer can pseudo-experts, apologists, and the media hide behind excuses, platitudes, and clichés. Enough is enough. (Here we have one of those people who sees no conflict between being Muslim and being American and being of modern, enlightened thought about humanity in general. He is not alone among American Muslims, not by a long shot, but we need a lot more to step up like him. We need American Muslims ready and willing to look around the community and take note when an imam starts preaching fundamentalist thought, when individuals start drifting towards radicalism, and let the FBI know about it. That's a lot to ask in a way, but it's what needs to happen for everyone's good. When WW2 came, German-Americans turned in the Nazi sympathizers among them, who were sent to internment camps. (Everyone forgets it wasn't just Japanese who were interned, but Germans and Italians were as well, although in much lower numbers.) The jihadists are the enemies of everyone who doesn't think like them, they have killed more Muslims than anyone else. So it only makes sense for those living here and seeing the benefits of a pluralistic society to be as concerned about the extremists as the rest of us. I think that time is coming. --Del.

http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/20/whistleblower-islamic-groups-control-narrative-of-american-law-enforcement/#ixzz3urweoJwI
Excerpt: Back in 2012, seven officials from the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Division (CRCL) found Haney’s work objectionable, leading to the 2012 effort to close his work down as the civil rights of foreign nationals could be violated. “The administration was more concerns (sic) about the civil rights and liberties of foreign Islamic groups with terrorist ties than the safety and security of Americans,” Haney says.... Challenging these policy changes up his DHS chain of command, and then to the Department’s Inspector General, Haney’s courage and tenacity to protect Americans only ended up putting a target on his own back. (True to regime's totalitarian style and contrary to AMERICAN law, whistleblower was persecuted and hectored, rather than protected and appreciated. Article notes 67 records were deleted under pressure within the current regime to favor pro-Islamic organizations with terrorist ties and blind-side law enforcement designed to protect Americans. Makes the hatred of Israel , Christians, infiltration of education process using federal grants as bait/control and using "Arab Spring" to initiate caliphate and ISIS versus true democracies or respecting the wills of the native populations understandable. http://www.scribd.com/doc/293529776/DHS-Whistleblower-Open-Letter-to-Members-of-Congress So, "civil rights" of foreign nationals with ties to terrorist organizations are more important to this government currently running the US than the safety and welfare of US citizens. NOW do you understand the TRANSFORMATION underway? The folks are just still trying to go about their lives and their jobs and tend to their families and pretend all is well. It ain't.

Media Hides Key Detail in the Virginia School District’s Islamic Lesson Controversy to Fit Liberal Narrative
Excerpt: A Breitbart News investigation reveals that mainstream media outlets incorrectly reported a key detail in the story of the 9th grade World Geography teacher in Virginia who sparked a national controversy over a “calligraphy lesson” that required students to hand copy the Arabic characters that comprise the shahada, the Islamic statement of faith. ... Virginia is just the latest state in which parents of public school students are rebelling against Islamic indoctrination, be it intentional or unintentional. In October, parents in Tennessee launched a rebellion against Islamic-centric standards and textbooks in 7th grade Social Studies classes. (One religion's "statement of faith" is another religion's statement of heresy: Commandment #1: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. " --Barb)
Excerpt: A U.S. airstrike appears to have killed 10 Iraqi soldiers in a friendly fire incident that took place while the U.S. Air Force was striking Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria on Friday. Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Saturday called the incident a “mistake that involved both sides.” He said that the event “has all the indications of being a mistake of the kind that can happen on a dynamic battlefield.” (Now you know why Iraq reportedly did not want US soldiers "helping them" and said they would fire on US uniforms....that they had seen US dropping water and munitions to ISIS....or just "friendly fire" like that Doctors Without Borders hospital? That was a "mistake" too; however, US sent a tank in to demolish evidence there before it could be examined for a war crimes case. --Barb. Friendly fire happens in war.

The donkey, however, was not about to let that happen, and allegedly, it proceeded to kick the Sheikh man in the face following by three strong kicks to the chest.

Regarding Its 'Migrant' Policies, Denmark
Excerpt: "I can see that some foreign media are pouring scorn over (the fact) that we in the future may withdraw asylum-seekers' valuables and demand that they should pay for their stay in asylum centres themselves," Integration Minister Inger Stojberg wrote on Facebook. "There is no reason to criticize, since it is already the case that if you as a Dane have valuables for more than 10,000 kroner ($1,450, 1,340 euros) it may be required that this is sold before you can receive unemployment benefits," she added....

Excerpt: Hanne Kristin Rohde, the former head of violent crimes with the Oslo police department, told The Times that she ran into resistance when she went public in 2011 with data showing that a disproportionate number of rapes were committed by immigrants. “There are lots of men who haven’t learned that women have value,” Rohde said. ... Political correctness has already proved disastrous in at least one community marred by sexual violence. (POTUS bequeathing to the folks of the US rapes, violence, police forces henpecked by feds to the point of dithering action, likewise military controlled by pro-Islamic PC CAIR et al. They do not value women except as slaves; yet this "sensitive and caring" POTUS brings in thousands to destroy the American way of life. And we have seen what the pro-Islamic terrorist PC purging of DHS records has yielded in San Bernardino . Hopefully, Congress will look into the officials in the regime who deleted the 67 records and cancelled the terror cells probes, allowing them to form and grow, and hectored the whistleblower into retirement. Happy New Year, folks! --Barb)
Barack Obama Says He Didn’t Realize There Was Fear Of Terrorism Because He Doesn’t Watch Cable News
Excerpt: One of the hallmarks of the Obama administration — I mean other than lawlessness, the willingness to kill people to prove a point, a rank incompetence — is that whenever something bad happens you can depend on Obama having been out of the loop. For instance, Sharyl Atkisson has this run down....He knew what was going on but to acknowledge the increased concern about terrorism he would have to address the fact that the cause was the terrorist group he created, ISIS; that is was carried out by members of the administration’s favored religion; and that one of the killers gained entry to the United States because political correctness prevented a true background check. (Show me your shocked face! What, no high crimes and misdemeanors? No treachery or treason? Now, if this has been a black anarchy/Panther cause....to further divide the folks, he'd be singing. --Barb)
Figures: NY Times Removes Embarrassing Obama Quote in 'Stealth Edit.' By Greg Richter
Excerpt: The New York Times removed a quote from a story in which President Barack Obama blamed his slow response to the San Bernardino terrorist shootings on the fact he doesn't watch cable news. (How they can dare to call themselves journalists is one of those amazing things of modern liberalism. This is such a clear-cut example of pandering to the Prez that there's just no getting around it, it is exactly and precisely what it looks like. And yet some people still don't think the media have favored Mr. Obama over all these years. --Del )
Interesting: It Is Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Not Donald Trump, In An ISIS Recruiting Video [VIDEO]
Excerpt: During the Democrat “debate” last night, Hillary Clinton made the astonishing claim that Donald Trump was being used in ISIS recruiting videos. That resulted in a quick bit of “fact checking” by the progressive media which revealed that, no, Donald Trump wasn’t being used in ISIS recruiting videos. ...As it turns out, there is a prominent American featured in an ISIS recruiting video and that person is Bill Clinton. (And Obama, per article. --Barb)
http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/closing-guantanamo-bay-will-only-empower-our-enemies?f=must_reads
Excerpt: Impervious to the bitter irony, the president waxed idiotic at his final White House press conference of 2015 about the need to close Gitmo - and about his imminent release of 17 jihadists to speed that process along - while the engines revved up to jet him to San Bernardino, Calif. There, he'll find time for a quickie meeting with family members in mourning after the jihadist mass-murder of their loved ones two weeks ago. After that, Obama will hop back on Air Force One to do what any wartime president would do - take a two-week Hawaii vacation. No word yet on whether ISIS or al-Qaeda will be kicking back, too.
Excerpt: ISIS may be claiming to wage a holy war for Islam but the self-declared caliphate is as vulnerable to the region's deep-seated corruption as the secular Iraqi and Syrian regimes it displaced.

For Many, Faith Comes at a High Price. By Nicholas Kristof
Excerpt: AS we celebrate the holidays, let’s remember that this is one of those savage epochs when some families must choose between their faith and their lives. It is an echo of when Nero burned Christians alive, or when self-described Christians unleashed pogroms against Jews. Partly because of allergies about religion, the international response has been utterly ineffective. Liberals are sometimes reluctant to champion Christians who are persecuted for their faith. And conservatives are too quick to champion only Christians, neglecting other religious minorities — such as the Yazidis — who suffer even worse fates. One result of this “God gulf” is that the Western response to atrocities against religious oppression is pathetically inadequate.

Excerpt: Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is leading several top GOP candidates in hypothetical general election match-ups, but she narrowly trails Sen.

A new Public Policy Polling survey found that Clinton bests Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, 46 percent to 43 percent; beats former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 44 percent to 39 percent; and defeats Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), 45 percent to 43 percent. Clinton ties retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson at 45 percent. But Clinton falls behind Rubio in a close match-up, trailing him by 1 point.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-republicans-democrats-poll_55e5fbb8e4b0c818f6196a82
Excerpt: As a classic case in point, Republicans are more likely to oppose repealing the 1975 Public Affairs Act -- which doesn't actually exist -- when they're told that President Barack Obama wants to do so, while Democrats object when they're told it's a Republican proposal. But even when it comes to real issues, reactions to polls can vary greatly, depending on the wording. ... Yet respondents' reactions were decidedly different. Hearing that Trump supported a certain policy was enough to cause Democrats to reconsider ideas they'd otherwise support, and for Republicans to endorse positions they'd usually avoid.

Excerpt: Per BizPac Review, “On Saturday Michelle Obama tweeted a video of “Star Wars” character R2-D2‘s arrival at the White House and the video had people up in arms. Not because the White House has apparently become a promotional machine for Hollywood ’s latest blockbuster but because a U.S. Marine had to hold the door open for the character.

Excerpt: Spending more money than other countries on health care is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, the United States is a wealthy nation and can afford the best care. And Americans want this care delivered in a timely manner. But under Obamacare, that high level of spending isn’t buying the best care. The law’s numerous regulations and intrusions have simply inflated the nation’s healthcare tab — without actually improving the quality of care available to patients.
