MILLIONS OF IRANIANS TAKE TO STREETS CHANTING DEATH TO AMERICA: So of course let’s give them nukes

By The Tower

Millions of Iranians took to the streets today in celebration of al-Quds Day, an annual Iranian festival commemorated on the final Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that features massive anti-American and anti-Israel protests. This year, the protests took place against the backdrop of the ongoing nuclear diplomacy between the P5+1 powers and Tehran.

The Times of Israel reported:

Some protesters in Tehran burned Israeli and American flags. Posters showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi King Salman and US President Barack Obama in flames. …

I’VE HAD ENOUGH: How About You?

By John Velisek, USN (Ret.)

I think back on the days of my childhood, days when all the kids in the neighborhood I lived in would get together for a game of stickball. All colors, all nationalities, everyone would play. Some better than others, but everyone would play until our mothers called us home at dark for dinner. The only break would come when the ice cream truck came by, and if someone didn’t have the dime for ice cream, someone else would buy it for them.

Times have changed, but the basic principles of how I was brought up have stuck with me. It doesn’t make for a tranquil way of life these days. There is a choice which must be made by every one of our citizens. Do we keep those old values, or do we toss them to the side for a more modern way of living our lives?

For me, I’ve had enough. There are certain things I am tired of:

I’m tired of partisan politics, of politicians working only to line their pockets and those of family and friends.

I’m tired of election promises never kept and the lying that has somehow become an accepted part of their everyday lives.

THE DEMOCRAT OPEN BORDERS CROWD: Accessories to Rape, Mayhem and Murder

By James Simpson

And should be charged as criminal accomplices and dealt with accordingly. Does that sound outrageous? Sure it does, but withhold judgment until you read this post.

It is absolutely indisputable that San Francisco's sanctuary policies contributed to the horrific, senseless, shooting death of 32-year-old Kate Steinle on July 2. Francisco Sanchez, the illegal alien who admitted killing her, has said that it was the city's sanctuary policies that attracted him to it. City leaders have Kate's blood on their hands. But that blood is a drop in the bucket compared to the outrages regularly being committed by the illegals among us, while politicians of both parties sing their praises.

Donald trump has been roundly criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for saying that 80 percent of women crossing the border are being raped. NBC decided to drop his popular show, The Apprentice, and the Miss Universe pageant he produces. Mexico says it will withdraw its entrant to the pageant based on Trump's offensive statements. ESPN, NASCAR and others have piled on. But Trump was just quoting an article from Fusion magazine. The piece, "Is rape the price to pay for migrant women chasing the American Dream?" leads off by saying:

Before they can reach the American Dream, many migrant women have to survive a Mexican nightmare. A staggering 80 percent of Central American girls and women crossing Mexico en route to the United States are raped along the way, according to directors of migrant shelters interviewed by Fusion.

Could it be any clearer than that? Democrats have long since abandoned even a shred of honesty, but are Republicans again rebranding themselves as "The Party of Stupid?" How about "The Party of Insufferably Mindless Idiots?" Is that what they should be called, or maybe just the cowards, frauds and hypocrites they are?

In fact, the problem is infinitely worse than the article reveals.

Try to imagine what would've happened if Bush had made THIS mistake...

But when President Barack Hussein "57 States" Obama says it, well, it ain't news, Sparky:

Obama: “We’re speeding up training of ISIL forces”

The thing is, we are training ISIL forces. We have given weapons to groups that the Pentagon has designated as “moderate” — groups such as the Free Syrian Army, which has collaborated with the Islamic State. The Obama Administration’s avid and fruitless search for “moderates” to fight the Islamic State has put the U.S. in the position of training and arming a great many jihadis for the Islamic State. Obama’s statement was not a mere slip of the tongue. It was the most Freudian of all Freudian slips.

“President Obama says ‘We’re Training ISIL': White House Website ‘Corrects’ His Remarks, by Paul Joseph Watson, D.C. Clothesline,

The White House.gov website has corrected an embarrassing mistake made by Barack Obama during his press briefing Monday about the Islamic State when the President said that U.S. forces were “training ISIL.”

During his speech, Obama uttered the line, “with the additional steps I ordered last month, we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces.”


No double standard here, folks. Just move along.

U.S. MAP OF "SANCTUARY CITIES": Where Local Governments Violate Federal Laws, Endanger Citizens

By Bryan Griffith and Marguerite Telford

More than 200 cities, counties and states across the United States are considered sanctuary cities. These state and local jurisdictions have policies, laws, executive orders, or regulations allowing them to avoid cooperating with federal immigration law enforcement authorities. These “cities” ignore federal law authorizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to administratively deport illegal aliens without seeking criminal warrants or convictions from federal, state, or local courts. Although federal law requires the cooperation, the Department of Justice has never sued or taken any measure, including denying federal funds, against a jurisdiction. On the contrary, the present administration has made it difficult for the states and localities which choose to aid in enforcing immigration laws. Federal law was labelled voluntary by the administration in a November 2014 policy memorandum signed by the Homeland Security Secretary.

BOOM: Secret Emails Withheld by State Dept. Reveal Hillary Clinton Tied Directly To Benghazi Video Lie

By Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch announced today that newly revealed testimony from the Obama State Department under court order directly ties Hillary Clinton, for the first time, to the now-debunked Benghazi talking points used by United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice to claim that the attack was the result of a “spontaneous protest” gone awry. The Obama administration also sent false talking points about the attack to Congress. The State Department is refusing to divulge the contents of the email, citing a discretionary “deliberative process” privilege.

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit in July 2014 seeking records related to the drafting and use of the talking points (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01242)). The lawsuit sought records specifically from Hillary Clinton and her top State Department staff about the Benghazi talking points scandal:

Copies of any updates and/or talking points given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency concerning, regarding, or related to the September 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Any and all records or communications concerning, regarding, or relating to talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency

The litigation forced the State Department to request government-related emails from former Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, and senior aide Jake Sullivan. Sullivan and Mills provided documents to the State Department responsive to Judicial Watch’s request on June 26. Abedin has yet to comply with the request from State in Judicial Watch’s case.

One of the documents identified by the State Department from Sullivan includes an email chain from September 29, 2012, which discussed the talking points, and was originally included in the 55,000 pages of documents Clinton provided to the State Department. The initial email was sent to Clinton’s secret email account and to Mills, while the follow-up was sent by Mills to Sullivan and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications Philippe Reines.

However, an unnamed agency staffer initially determined at an unknown time that a “talking points” email was not relevant to Judicial Watch’s request for emails about the Benghazi “talking points.”

According to the ACLU, La Raza, the New York Times, and the SSA, 75% of illegal aliens commit felonies

By Ronald W. Mortensen

Did Donald Trump overstate the level of crime committed by illegal immigrants? Not according to the ACLU, the National Council of La Raza, the New York Times, and the Social Security Administration (SSA).

According to these organizations, as many as 75 percent of illegal immigrants use unlawfully obtained Social Security numbers to pay payroll (Social Security) taxes. That, in turn, means that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are committing multiple federal and state felonies including forgery, Social Security fraud, perjury on I-9 forms, and identity theft.

It also means that potentially millions of Americans, including an untold number of innocent children, are victims of identity theft when their Social Security numbers are used by illegal immigrants. Of course, the ACLU, La Raza, the New York Times, and the SSA conveniently overlook that connection and they are never challenged by the media or politicians.

TRUMP CARD: What ever happened to the Democrat warcry of “If we can only save one child?”

By Karl Denninger

So Donald Trump was wrong?

Sure he is....

Between November 1, 2013 and October 31, 2014, there have been 4,317 charges of child sexual assault filed against illegal aliens in North Carolina, according to the citizens advocacy group known as NCFIRE.

12 months, 4,300 charges of sexual assault on kids by illegal invaders.

In one state.

So you're "offended" that Donald Trump made a point of this eh?

How about the kids who were assaulted?  How do they feel about our black-hearted President and the entire US Congress that refuses to stop the invasion of people who sexually abused them?

RUH ROH: Bernie Sanders Rips Obama’s Fictional Labor Reports; "Real Unemployment is 10.5%!"

Self-professed Socialist and Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders is surging in the polls as Granny Catlady's campaign continues to implode. Most recently, Sanders drew a crowd of 7,500 in a city with 66,000 residents (in other words, over 48%, but I'm no mathematician, my numbers could be off).

Earlier today, Sanders ripped a key White House economic fable stating that the real U.S. unemployment rate is double what the Obama administration claims.
“When you talk about the economy we also have to have an honest assessment of unemployment in America,” Sanders told a crowd of 7,500 gathered at a presidential campaign rally in Portland, Maine.

“Once a month the government publishes a set of figures, and the last figures they published said that official unemployment was 5.4 percent,” the Democratic nominee continued, slightly misstating the Labor Department’s most recent report which put June’s unemployment rate at 5.3 percent.

“But there is another set of government statistics,” Sanders continued, “and that that real unemployment if you include those people who have given up looking for work and the millions of others who are working part-time 20, 25 hours a week when they want to work full-time, when you all of that together, real unemployment is 10.5 percent.”
Aside from being a radical Marxist kook, Sanders has plenty of other skeletons in his closet.

Pass the popcorn, Nahanni.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Iran Revolutionary Guards to Get Huge Cash Infusion From Obama’s Nuke Deal

By The Tower

The sanctions relief that is slated to accompany the emerging nuclear deal with Iran will likely enrich and further entrench Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Reuters reported on Monday.

The Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), created by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, is more than just a military force. It is also an industrial empire with political clout that has grown exponentially in the last decade, benefiting from the favor of former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, himself a former guardsman and, most recently, from the opportunities created by Western sanctions.

A Western diplomat who follows Iran closely told Reuters that the IRGC’s recent annual turnover from all of its business activities was estimated to be around $10-12 billion. …

It was the IRGC, unquestioningly loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that suppressed student protests in 1999 and also silenced the pro-reform protests that followed Ahmadinejad’s disputed re-election in 2009.

According to Reuters, $12 billion would equal about one sixth of Iran’s economy.

As Nuke Talks Grind On, Iran’s "Moderates" Call for Israel’s Destruction

By The Tower

Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president of Iran and an ally of current President Hassan Rouhani, called for the destruction of Israel and described the country as “alien” and “temporary,” according to a report Monday in Iran’s official IRNA news agency. Rafsanjani, who heads the powerful Expediency Council, which advises Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made the comments in an interview with a Hezbollah-affiliated news outlet.

In response to a question why the Zionist regime has done its best to prevent the path for reaching a nuclear agreement between Iran and the West, Ayatollah Rafsanjani said that even Tel Aviv knows well that Iran is not after acquiring nuclear weapons.

‘By doing so the Zionist wish to keep Iran engaged in problems permanently, knowing that the Islamic Republic’s political, economic, cultural and propagation status will all improve after such an agreement,’ he said.

Asked about the future of the Palestinian nation, Rafsanjani said that he still believes that eventually one day the forged and temporary Israeli entity, which is an alien existence forged into the body of a nation and a region be wiped off the map.

Rafsanjani, who along with Rouhani is often characterized as a moderate, appears to associate Israel’s destruction with the completion of the nuclear deal.

Iran’s top leaders have a long record of threatening Israel’s existence. Khamenei last year tweeted out “9 key questions about the elimination of Israel.”

The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs published a study (.pdf) in 2012 cataloging the various calls Iran’s leaders have issued for Israel’s destruction.

TED CRUZ LEVELS POLITIFACT: ‘Noxious Yellow Journalism’

By Jon Cassidy

In his new book, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, calls out “a new, particularly noxious species of yellow journalism that is beginning to infect what passes for modern political discourse. It’s called ‘PolitiFact.’”

Cruz gives three reasons PolitiFact sucks: selection bias, liberal bias and inability to differentiate fact from opinion.

We’ve been pointing out those exact problems, and many others, for years now. In fact, among the dozens of articles we’ve done on PolitiFact’s shortcomings, there’s a 14-part series on this exact fight: PolitiFact vs. Cruz.

Now, W. Gardner Selby of PolitiFact Texas has already responded with a glib little column pointing out a slight error in Cruz’s book. Congratulations to Selby. That’s already more substantive than just about any of the attacks on Cruz he’s written.

The final score for our 14-part review was Cruz, 12, PolitiFact, 1; and one disqualification when both sides were wrong.

GRANNY HILLARY: Obama’s Deal With Iran Won’t Stop Them From Launching Lots of Terror Attacks

I paraphrase, but only just a skōsh..

Leading Democratic presidential candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, says that even with a nuclear deal Iran will still be “the world’s chief sponsor of terrorism,” Yahoo! politics reported Friday.

“But even if we do get such a deal, we will still have major problems from Iran,” she said. “They are the world’s chief sponsor of terrorism. They use proxies like Hezbollah to sow discord and to create insurgencies, to destabilize governments. They are taking more and more control of a number of nations in the region and they pose an existential threat to Israel.”

“So even if we are successful on the nuclear front, we still are going to have to turn our attention to working with our partners to try to rein in and prevent this continuing Iranian aggressiveness,” Clinton said.

Various critics of the nuclear deal with Iran have raised similar concerns that the deal will only fuel Iran’s efforts to destabilize the Middle East. These critics include Foreign Policy editor David Rothkopf, former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, former State Department official Aaron David Miller, and Washington Institute for Near East Policy fellows Mehdi Khalaji, Soner Cagaptay, and James Jeffrey.

Last week, the U.S. State Department released a report calling Iran a state sponsor of terrorism.


So why isn't Hillary speaking out directly against this insane deal?

Alas, that too is a rhetorical question.

CHALK UP ANOTHER NEEDLESS DEATH: Thank the Democrats’ Treasonous Quest for Open Borders

By Dan Cadman

By all accounts Kate Steinle was a vivacious young woman with a bright future ahead of her — until she met her death at the hands of an illegal alien while strolling on a San Francisco pier with her father, who witnessed the fatal shooting. The alien was quickly apprehended by police and identified as Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a citizen of Mexico with seven felony convictions and five prior deportations from the United States.

According to media outlets, Lopez-Sanchez was arrested by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who discovered that there was an outstanding warrant for a drug violation and did the right thing: They turned him over to the police for prosecution and filed a detainer requesting that they get him back at the conclusion of the charges. That's where things went seriously wrong.

What did the district attorney's office do? They promptly declined to prosecute and the warrant was dismissed. (I would bet good money that, whether they admit it or not, the reason they wanted to drop the charges is because they figured the subject could just be dumped back on the federal government saving them time and headaches while compounding someone else's.)

Meanwhile, Lopez-Sanchez had been booked into the San Francisco County Jail. What did they do? Refuse to honor the detainer filed by the agents who had given them the subject to prosecute in the first place, simply releasing him instead to the street, where he wandered around until he shot Ms. Steinle to death.

The Dukes of Hazzard vs. Today’s Slave Markets

Yet another must-read from Sultan Knish, aka Daniel Greenfield.

On Mad TV in the nineties, there was a routine where some fast-talking dude would pull out a business card with a flourish while intoning the word "Bam!"

And, Bam!

When Obama condemned Christianity for the Crusades, only a thousand years too late, in attendance was the Foreign Minister of Sudan; a country that practices slavery and genocide. Obama could have taken time out from his rigorous denunciation of the Middle Ages to speak truth to the emissary of a Muslim Brotherhood regime whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. But our moral liberals spend too much time romanticizing actual slaver cultures.

It’s a lot easier for Obama to get in his million dollar Cadillac with its 5-inch thick bulletproof windows, a ride Boss Hogg could only envy, and chase down a couple of good ole boys than it is to condemn a culture that committed genocide in our own time, not in 1099, and that keeps slaves today, not in 1815.

Even while the Duke boys were being chased through Georgia, Obama appeared at an Iftar dinner; an event at which Muslims emulate Mohammed, who had more slaves than Robert E. Lee. There are no slaves in Arlington House today, but in the heartlands of Islam, from Saudi mansions to ISIS dungeons, there are still slaves, laboring, beaten, bought, sold, raped and disposed of in Mohammed’s name.

Slavery does not exist under the Confederate flag eagerly being pulled down. It does exist under the black and green flags of Islam rising over mosques in Iraq, Saudi Arabia and America today.

What exactly does it say about a society -- and a political party -- that will tar a decades-old TV show while ignoring real crimes against humanity?

Talk amongst yourselves.

6 MOST POWERFUL COMMENTS ON THE GREEK DEBACLE: Left-wing Fantasists vs. One World Fanatics

Fiat currency printed ad infinitum on presses controlled by the political class and their corporate cronies, eco-Fascists, and One World Government Marxists -- what could possibly go wrong?

Greece is only the first domino to fall, and fall it will, whether this month or next. Then the rest of the dominoes will follow, smashing creditors along the way on a path once called contagion. Though it's truly not a virus, it's mathematics triumphing over political fantasists. And the turn of the United States will itself eventually come, unless and until we begin electing leaders with virtue.

People in the mold of Reagan and Cruz. People apart from the system, willing to speak truth to power.

6. Janet Daley, The Telegraph
Greece has become a battleground for the worst ideas of the 20th century: Which of these do you find more repugnant: an autocratic European Union which is no longer bothering to conceal its intention to displace an elected government, or a shambolic clique of Left-wing fantasists who are propelling a country – and its hapless population – into economic ruin and political chaos?

5. The Z Man:
The Greek Revolution: The problem at the core of global finance is that there’s no market mechanism to restrain public debt. The whole point of a floating currency regime is to disguise public debt in order to avoid making tough choices about the welfare state. It’s not an accident that since the Louvre Accords the size and scope of government has skyrocketed throughout the West.

In other words, a currency system based on credit has worked at hiding the cost of government. In fact, it has been so good at it no one noticed that Greece was running up debt at an alarming rate. In the old system, Greece would have been facing double digit borrowing rates long before they reached this point...

...The only people with the ability to pay sovereign debt are the tax payers.

Wherein Gay Supremacist @GeorgeTakei Gets Pwnt by @Instapundit

I term radicals like George Takei gay supremacists because they believe their rights trump my religious liberties. There's no other way to state it. Because if I'm an observant Christian who owns a bakery and does not want to bake a cake that celebrates gay "marriage", the gay supremacists believe I should be forced to do so, even at gunpoint (by the police) if need be.


Perhaps George can answer my hypothetical question:

PSSST, TREY GOWDY: Try This One Weird Trick to Retrieve More of Hillary’s Hidden Emails

Hillary Clinton likes hardcopies. She routinely instructed her assistants -- from Huma Abedin, to Cheryl Mills, and Lauren Jiloty -- to keep printed versions of important emails.

Subpoena each and every one of those printed emails from those parties. And then monitor their home power bills to see if the shredders get fired up.

SHAKING MY HEAD: How Can Scott Walker’s Team Hire Someone Like Brad Dayspring?

By John Hawkins

Scott Walker’s campaign caught flack for hiring Liz Mair earlier this year. Liz, whom I know and respect despite the fact she’s well to the left of me on a number of issues, made the mistake of slamming Iowa’s position in the primary system. Most conservatives don’t like Iowa having so much sway in the GOP primaries, but most conservatives also aren’t working for a candidate who’s running in those primaries either. After Walker caught flack from Iowans over Mair’s remarks, she ended up resigning. That’s too bad because Liz is an excellent digital media strategist, but once her comments became a big enough issue to actually hurt Walker in the primary, it put him in a very difficult position.

Today, he’s in a much worse position because Scott Walker’s Unintimidated PAC has hired Brad Dayspring.

Some people might excuse Scott Walker for this hire because he currently can’t coordinate with the PAC. However, people in the know realize that’s a cop-out. The PAC is run by former high-level Scott Walker staffers who would NEVER deliberately do anything he doesn’t agree with. Furthermore, you can be sure that there was PLENTY of coordination between Walker and his staffers right up until the moment he was legally unable to continue to do so. Is it possible that he personally approved the hiring of someone like Dayspring beforehand? Absolutely, but a big part of the value of PACS like this one is that they create a degree of separation between the candidate and the PAC. The PACs can run dirty ads and they can hire dirtbags who will undermine grassroots conservatives at every opportunity and supposedly, the candidate can’t be blamed.

Well, not this time.
