BOOM: Major Clinton Donor Faces ‘Criminal Profiteering’ Charges

By Richard Pollock

Hansjorg Wyss, a prominent Clinton foundation donor and wealthy bankroller of liberal activist groups, will face charges of running a “criminal profiteering enterprise” through the illegal use of a drug and in violation of federal patient safety rules that resulted in the death of a 67-year old woman, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Washington State Superior Court Judge Dean Lum agreed Oct. 30 that Wyss, a Swiss billionaire who has given more than $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, can stand trial under the state’s racketeering laws for leading a criminal enterprise that caused the death of Reba Golden. She died during an illegal drug test conducted by Wyss’s company in 2007.

The Washington suit charges Wyss, the former CEO of a Pennsylvania-based medical device company called Synthes and his co-defendants with murder in the second degree as a class A felony, second degree assault and criminal profiteering under the Washington Criminal Profiteering Act.

GOOD NEWS: Marco Rubio Votes to Import More ISIS Jihadists From Countries Known to Harbor Terrorists

By Julia Hahn

A pivotal vote on Muslim immigration split the Republican presidential field in the Senate—with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) voting to continue to allow large-scale Muslim immigration and Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) voting to pause Muslim immigration.

The amendment, offered Sen. Rand Paul, would have suspended visa issuances to more than 30 Muslim countries with active Jihadist populations. Graham and Rubio were both members of the Gang of Eight, which proposed legislation that would expand Muslim immigration, and Paul and Cruz were both opponents of the Gang of Eight bill.

THERE IT IS: Democrat Party Organ The New York Times Calls for Forcible Gun Confiscation

The press release outlet best known for its fanatical dedication to the socialist agenda -- you may know it as The New York Times -- has finally issued the Democrats' long sought-after call for government confiscation of America's guns.

It is a moral outrage and a national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed specifically to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency.

Of course, the Times fails to note that the recent Paris terror attacks (and many other examples of mass shootings in Europe) occurred under strict gun control regimes. They refuse to describe how disarming law-abiding citizens might prevent killings by Jihadists and the criminally insane (but I repeat myself).

Oh, and box-cutters were used to kill 3,000 Americans on 9/11. A home-made IED killed and crippled more than 100 people at the Boston Marathon. Knives and automobiles are the weapons of choice these days for slaughtering Israeli Jews.

Thursday, December 03, 2015

AND... The FBI reports that the #1 weapon used in violent crime is...

...the baseball bat.


And yet the statists continue to shriek for gun control, in spite of the Paris attacks that took place in a country that disarms virtually all of its citizens. Despite the 9/11 attacks, in which Islamists wielding box-cutters killed 3,000 Americans. Despite statistics like the above.

If they were real Americans, the progressive left would be calling for jihad control. But they're not real Americans, they're Marxist revolutionaries, sixties retreads, and America-haters.

COJONES: Illegals Sue to Overturn Oregon Ballot Initiative That Overwhelmingly Refused Them Drivers Licenses

By Dan Cadman

Fox News is reporting that a group of aliens living illegally in the United States, Oregon specifically, is suing to overturn a ballot initiative in that state in which voters resoundingly rebuffed attempts to legislatively permit illegal aliens to obtain Oregon driver's licenses.

The basis? Discrimination. The plaintiffs allege that the ballot initiative, Measure 88, is unconstitutional "because it 'arbitrarily' denies driving privileges based on membership in a 'disfavored minority group.' It [the lawsuit] alleges Oregon voters were motivated by "animus toward persons from Mexico and Central America."

DOMESTIC TERRORISM: Vintage Media’s Manufactured Outrage

By Cliff Kincaid

We don’t remember any outrage from the media over the alleged roles played by Obama associates Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in the 1970 bombing murder of San Francisco police officer Brian V. McDonnell. In fact, the media peddled the nonsense that Ayers and Dohrn, who helped launch Barack Obama’s political career, were “anti-war activists” who bombed a few buildings and never hurt anyone.

Since “domestic terrorism” is now a topic of concern for the media, in the wake of the attack on the Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado, can we expect the media to pressure Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch to gather new evidence in the McDonnell case? It’s not likely.

The Real Climate Crisis that the Global Warming Scammers are Ignoring

By Karl Denninger

No, folks, it's not "globull warming."

I know, I know, we're all going to drown if we don't "stop" it.  Of course this means forcing India and China to cut carbon emissions, since they're the largest emission growth engines and will be for the foreseeable future, following by sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world that are yet to become industrialized nations.

That is never going to happen without the use of force -- that is, killing people -- and for good reason too, because if you live in a straw hut you'd probably like to do better, and to do better you need energy.

The real reason to impose carbon taxes and similar nonsense is to disadvantage the west and our modern society for the purpose of control while giving huge sums of money to favored people to redistribute under the guise of "leadership."  What it really amounts to is theft at gunpoint used for "global welfare payments."

Nothing more or less. Further, it gets (much) worse.

THE REAL 2016 ELECTION: The Bipartisan Political-Media Establishment vs. the American People

By Lawrence Sellin

The 2016 election is not a contest between the Democrat and Republican ideologies, nor is it a choice among various approaches to address the nation's problems, but something far more fundamental.

It is a battle between the entrenched power of the bipartisan political-media establishment versus the rights and liberties of the American people.

Powerful NY Democrat Gets Gold Watch Plus 130 Years in Prison, But Mostly 130 Years in Prison

By Rusty Weiss

Following a month-long criminal trial, and 10 months after his arrest on multiple corruption charges, former Assembly Speaker and one of the famed ‘three men in a room’ controlling New York politics, Sheldon Silver, has been found guilty on all seven counts involving corruption schemes that netted him $4 million in legal fees.

Prior to his arrest, Silver was widely considered the most powerful Democrat in the State Legislature.

Waco Biker Injustice

By Candy Chand

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." --Martin Luther King

It's been almost six months, and the Waco indictments are just rolling in. So much for swift justice. Or the freedom to assemble.

But do American's really care about the 1st and 6th Amendments, when those fought-and-died-for rights pertain to bikers?

On May 17, 2015, numerous motorcycle groups met in Waco, Texas for a Confederation of Club's joint meeting. Scheduled at a Twin Peaks restaurant, they set out to discuss laws, mutual rules, and common ground. It would be hard to anticipate that lunch with fellow bikers (which included a mix of 1 percenter outlaw, U.S. Veteran and Christian groups) would turn into bloody mayhem.

OH, MY: Former Ambassador says Obama brought "radical Muslim values into the White House"

UPDATE: Everyone involved is now denying Oren's statements. Unexpectedly.

The article, brought to our attention by the indefatigable Dan from New York, has already been "deleted", but I grabbed a copy before it disappeared permanently into the bit-bucket. My guess is that someone in the halls of power asked that it be, eh, squelched.

Former Israeli Ambassador to the US MK Michael Oren (Kulanu), a member of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, released a particularly strong accusation against US President Barack Obama on Saturday.

LIKE THE PILGRIMS, IF THE PILGRIMS HAD SUICIDE BELTS: Obama Threatens States Refusing to Take ISIS-Supporting Syrians

By Daniel Greenfield

Obama recently decided to effectively suspend enforcement of immigration law and unilaterally legalize huge numbers of illegal aliens. But one of his minions is sending around letters threatening states who refuse to accept his army of Syrian migrants, at least 13% of which poll as supporting ISIS. That means out of his first 10,000 Syrians, over a thousand would be ISIS supporters.

Yes, Virginia, There is a Recession

By Jim Quinn

Despite the bogus BLS employment report last week (so the Fed could raise rates before the next financial crisis hits), all economic data confirms an economic recession. Corporate profits are falling, and their forecasts for next quarter are worse. Global trade is slowing dramatically. Oil prices and other commodities are plummeting to multi-year lows. Manufacturing and Services surveys are flashing red. China, Japan and European economies continue to suck wind. Layoff announcements by major corporations are up 40% over last year. A global deflationary recession is underway. Only a CNBC bimbo, shill or Ivy League educated economist isn’t bright enough to see it.

Retail sales came out this morning and they were worse than dreadful.

SUPER: Marco Rubio still defending his “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill and green cards for illegals

By Julia Hahn

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is defending his controversial co-authorship of the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill. Rubio also suggested that while it defies the “majority position” of Republicans, he would plow ahead with his plan to provide green cards to illegal immigrants—a central plank of his Obama-backed bill.

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Rubio declared, “Now the majority position in our party is it should stop at just a work permit… I personally am open to allowing people to apply for a green card.”

Rubio admitted that he is at odds with the Republican voters on this issue, stating, “That is not a majority position in my party.”

FEUDAL AMERICA: A Totalitarian Marriage of Convenience

By Lawrence Sellin

As Winston Churchill noted in his indictment of appeasement of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, "there is a great danger in refusing to believe things you do not like."

Barack Hussein Obama is succeeding in his fundamental transformation; that is, dismantling the United States as a capitalist republic, based on Judeo-Christian democratic principles.

Obama is dangerous as a President because his ideologies, Marxism and sympathy for Islam, drive him to pursue policies that run counter to the national interest, the well-being of the American people and, quite frankly, the survival of the country. His mendacity is compounded by his arrogance and narcissism that prevent him from accepting responsibility and learning from his mistakes. He is not on our side.

MAZEL TOV, HILLARY: Clinton Wins Gun Control Award From Major Anti-Bill of Rights Group

By Institute for Legislative Action

What do you get when a Cuomo, a Clinton and the Brady Campaign get together to toast each other?

A lot of hollow rhetoric blaming America’s law abiding gun owners for the acts of criminals and madmen, and oh yes, an award for Hillary Clinton.

The Brady Campaign came up with a new award they named for a former anti-gun New York Governor, Mario Cuomo. The current anti-gun New York Governor, his son Andrew Cuomo, was on hand at an event in Manhattan to praise Clinton as the recipient of the inaugural “Mario Cuomo Visionary Award.”

PERFECT: The IRS Says You Can’t Sue Them Unless They Say You Can

By Mark Tapscott

Department of Justice lawyers claimed Wednesday the IRS cannot be sued for damages by the estimated 330,000 taxpayers victimized by hackers who earlier this year breached the federal tax agency’s computer files.

Plaintiffs Becky Welborn and Wendy Windrich’s claim of damage under the Privacy Act and the Administrative Procedures Act cannot be pursued because the doctrine of Sovereign Immunity, which holds the federal government immune to damage claims unless it agrees to such litigation.

"One of the most cynical, cold-blooded, and nastily divisive moves an American President has made"

A simply astounding and incisive article by historian Walter Russell Mead appears today at The American Interest.

Read the entire piece and pass it on. It's that important.

GOP Lawmakers Call For Curbs, Freeze On Muslim Migration To U.S.

By Julia Hahn

As Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) prepares a show vote on the nation’s importation of Muslim refugees, a growing group of Congressional conservatives are calling for a reduction or suspension of visa issuances to Muslim nations with jihadist movements.

Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz has explained the details of Ryan’s anticipated “bait and switch”:
