Obama and the Democrats’ War on Black America

By Bill Bennett

It may appear to Black Americans that Barack Obama is in their corner, but it’s a cunning deception. His presidency has had a truly malevolent effect on the Black community—by design. The sole evidence that the White House has any interest whatever in Black America has been an unending stream of rhetoric alleging racism by police against Blacks. Such a campaign can only spawn more resistance to police in encounters between Blacks and cops. And since crime is far more prevalent in Black neighborhoods, those encounters are inevitable.

An ancillary Obama campaign makes constant reference to Jim Crow seeping out of every crevice in our society. In an interview with comedian Marc Maron, he actually driveled this out, after admitting that “race relations have improved significantly during my lifetime.”:

PEW RESEARCH: How People in Muslim Countries Believe Women Should Dress

Writing at Pew Research last year, Jacob Poushter shared University of Michigan research revealing how Muslim populations believe women should (be forced to) dress.

An important issue in the Muslim world is how women should dress in public. A recent survey from the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research conducted in seven Muslim-majority countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey), finds that most people prefer that a woman completely cover her hair, but not necessarily her face...

...Only in Turkey and Lebanon do more than one-in-four think it is appropriate for a woman to not cover her head at all in public.

THANKS, OBAMA: The Taliban and ISIS are making "unprecedented gains" in Afghanistan

Writing at Institute for the Study of War, Jessica Lewis McFate, Rob Denaburg, and Caitlin Forrest have produced an encyclopedic summary [PDF] of the current state of Afghanistan. And the news -- as you could have predicted with this administration -- is dire indeed.

The Taliban and ISIS are on the move.

Key Take-away: Militant forces including Taliban factions and the Islamic State’s Afghanistan-Pakistan affiliate, Wilayat Khorasan, control considerable terrain across Afghanistan as of December 2015. Militant control extends beyond historic militant sanctuaries and into numerous district centers, representing partial success at establishing governance.

Taliban forces are making unprecedented gains in areas that had been cleared and held during the surge, threatening provincial capitals in northern, southern, and eastern Afghanistan. Wilayat Khorasan has also begun to exert social control in Afghanistan, specifically in Nangarhar province, but this control has not yet extended to district centers. The ANSF lack the higher headquarters and mobility functions to conduct simultaneous or sequential campaigns to counter geographically dispersed threats. NATO lacks the force structure and authority to close this gap even with the enduring presence of 9,800 U.S. troops in 20161.

MARK LEVIN: "Trump Really Screwed Up This Weekend"

By CR Wire

On Monday night’s radio program, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin called out Donald Trump for mimicking the statists and the Republican establishment by attacking rival Ted Cruz and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia over the weekend.

Levin cited three “reckless comments” made by Donald Trump.

First, Mr. Trump joined in with a leftist on CNN to dump on Justice Scalia, who’s comments during oral argument have been unfairly accused of being racist. Conservatives know better.

SICK: Obama Ordered Homeland Security to Suppress San Bernardino Terrorists' Islamist Ties

By Matthew Vadum

On the day of the deadly San Bernardino, Calif. massacre, President Obama ignored FBI-procured evidence that the attack was an Islamic terrorist operation and ordered federal officials to mislead the public about the true nature of the assault.

Although the FBI knew immediately on Dec. 2 that the mass-casualty event was a Muslim terrorist attack, Obama and FBI Director James Comey reportedly clashed over why Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, opened fire around 11 a.m. local time on Farook's municipal government workmates, leaving 14 dead and 21 wounded.

Rubio-Zuckerberg Bill Would Allow Unlimited Muslim Immigration

By Julia Hahn


Aafia Siddiqui—“Lady Al Qaeda”
In January of 2015, a handful of Senators quietly introduced new legislation in Congress that would allow for virtually unlimited Muslim immigration into the United States – lifting caps entirely on several categories of visas favored by immigrants from Muslim countries.

The Mark Zuckerberg-backed legislation, S.153, is called the Immigration Innovation Act (or I-Squared), and it has taken on new significance following the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino. Those attacks were only possible due to Muslim immigration: Syed Farook is reportedly the child of Pakistani immigrants, and his jihadi bride, Tashfeen Malik, was reportedly born in Pakistan.

The I-Squared bill is significant for a second reason. One of the Senators who introduced the bill is also running for President: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). And several of Rubio’s most prominent financial backers are among the bill’s boosters.

RED ALERT: Paul Ryan Set to Hand Obama a Blank Check to Bring In an "Unlimited Number" of Islamic Refugees

By Julia Hahn

A Saturday report from Fox News’ Chad Pergram lends support to the repeated warnings of Alabama Senators Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is preparing to issue President Obama a blank check in the year-end omnibus to admit Muslims refugees from across the globe. According to Pergram, the massive trillion-dollar omnibus is expected to be made public Monday and voted on Wednesday.

TRUMP: The Ugly Truths the Democrat and Republican Establishment Seek to Conceal From Us

By Karl Denninger

The fear in both the GOP and Democratic party is visible at the surface when it comes to Trump, and it's not that he's any of what they've accused him of.  No, it's really much simpler than that, and both Republican and Democrat parties, along with the mainstream media, are utterly terrified that you, the average American, is going to figure out what underlies all of these institutions in America.

No, it's not that they're evil.

It's worse, for evil frequently is recognized and fought back yet for decades America has not awakened to what has been going on in the political and media establishment.  It was evident during the Vietnam war and has only gotten worse since.

ONE CHART: Conclusive Proof That Barack Obama is the Greatest Gun Salesman in the History of the World

Writing at The Trace, Adam Weinstein tells us something that we already knew: Barack Obama's unconstitutional gun control actions and rhetoric have spurred the greatest firearm buying frenzy in world history:

In the first five years of Barack Obama’s presidency, the number of guns manufactured in the United States soared astronomically, according to a new report released yesterday from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Another Day, Another Democrat Hack Spitting on the Constitution

By Karl Denninger

Nothing like flatly ignoring the Constitution's due process protections, right Malloy?

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy plans to sign the first executive order in the nation to ban the sales of guns to people on federal government watch lists.

"We intend to prevent, by executive order through my powers as governor, those on government watch lists from obtaining a permit to purchase a firearm in Connecticut," the Democratic governor said in a news conference Thursday.

That might pass muster if you'd been convicted of a crime.

JAYVEE NEWS: ISIS May Have Syrian Passport Printer

By Russ Reed

The Islamic State may have gotten a passport printer, and could be using it to send militants into the United States carrying Syrian passports that are by all appearances authentic, according to a Homeland Security intelligence report.

ISIS likely obtained an intact passport printer and “boxes of blank passports” from a Syrian passport office in Deir ez-Zour when it took the city last summer, the report, obtained by ABC News, states. The group’s de facto capital, Raqqa, also has a printing office according to the document.

THANKS, PAUL RYAN: New Spending Bill Funds Hundreds of Thousands of Aliens from Jihadi Regions

By Julia Hahn

As the government’s funding deadline approaches, Senior Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) warn that unless changes are made, “The omnibus [spending bill] would put the U.S. on a path to approve admission for hundreds of thousands of migrants from a broad range of countries with jihadists movements.”

As we near a vote on the year-end government funding bill, we believe it is essential that Congress take strong steps to restore the security and financial integrity of our immigration system. In recent months, we have seen immigrants in the United States implicated in terrorist activity hailing from countries including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Somalia, Sudan, Ghana and Saudi Arabia, to name a few. The risk is not limited to Syrian migration, but encompasses a wide-range of countries and the ever-present threat of post-entry radicalization.

MARK LEVIN: Constitutional Hulk

Our summer intern Biff Spackle appears to have been indulging in mushrooms.


5 Facts About Muslims In Europe

Writing at Pew Research, Conrad Hackett offers us five interesting data-points regarding the Muslim population in Europe. It is especially relevant today, given the mass migration of Libyan, Syrian and other Islamic refugees into Eurasia.

1. Germany and France have the largest Muslim populations among European Union member countries...

TRUMP IS RIGHT: No More Soft Targets

By Karl Denninger

Trump did what Trump always does when he gets the mic -- he said what he thinks.

The Donald called for an immediate halt to all Muslims coming to America -- as tourists, as refugees, as immigrants.

Not permanently, but for now, until we figure out exactly what we did wrong, how we can fix, and we fix it.

“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” Trump said in a statement.

The reaction from the others in the race -- and Muslims -- was immediate and loud.  He was called racist, unhinged, divisive, dangerous, a demagogue and more.

GOOD NEWS: Obama has no response to Iranian Ballistic Missile Tests

By The Tower

Senators Kelly Ayotte (R – N.H.) and Mark Kirk (R – Ill.) expressed their concern on Tuesday regarding the White House’s lack of response to the two reported ballistic missile tests Iran carried out since the nuclear deal was announced.

In a letter sent to President Barack Obama, the senators wrote that “it is not clear” that the administration took any steps to confront Iran following the launch of a ballistic missile in October, and inquired about plans to address Iran’s latest test, reportedly carried out last month.

SHOCKA: San Bernardino Terrorists Have Ties To Radical Islamic Organization In New York

By Rusty Weiss

The terrorist couple from San Bernardino and their mother had stickers and certificates of appreciation for membership in the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) in New York, a group with known ties to terrorist organizations, and a group whose members and speakers have included Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical preacher who had significant ties with three of the 9/11 hijackers.

LA TIMES: Say, Trump Could Be Right

By David Mills

They didn’t come right out and say it, but they certainly implied it (emphases mine).

FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, began scheming to carry out a terror attack long before they were engaged and before she moved to the United States on a fiancee visa last year…

MARK LEVIN: Marco Rubio Now Resorting to Obama-style Alinsky Tactics to Attack Ted Cruz

By Mark R. Levin



Attorney, author, and radio host Mark R. Levin
I was among the first national radio hosts to support Marco Rubio in his uphill Republican primary campaign for the Senate against the unprincipled Florida Governor Charlie Crist.  Back then, he ran as an unabashed Tea Party conservative.  I also supported Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, among others, in their campaigns against the entrenched GOP establishment.  But soon after arriving in Washington, Rubio decided to throw in with these politicians – including John McCain and Lindsey Graham and take an active leadership role in the Gang of Eight fiasco.  As he runs for the Republican presidential nomination, Rubio has attempted to redefine his position on immigration yet again, resulting in his utter incoherence on the subject. 

Moreover, Rubio’s views on foreign policy are also more in line with McCain-Graham pseudo-conservativism.  It is a kind of naïve and radical interventionism, involving endless demands for American ground forces, that President Ronald Reagan would never have supported – and did not.  For example, Rubio’s support for the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, joining with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and, of course, McCain and Graham, has not led to democracy.  Instead, Libya has become another extremely dangerous and growing stronghold for Islamic terrorists and a direct threat to our country.  “Democracy projects” have also led to the overthrow of the Shah of Iran during Jimmy Carter’s presidency, ushering in the current Islamic terrorist state that directly threatens America, as well as the more recent rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which was eventually ousted by the Egyptian military, and so forth.  Democracy requires more than an election.  It requires, first and foremost, a civil society.  I’ve talked about this a great length on my radio program.        

But my commentary here is not intended as a thorough analysis of immigration and foreign policies, which may come in a later essay.  This is a friendly warning to Marco Rubio and his campaign donors, advisers, and consultants that they cannot wash away some of Rubio’s less than stellar legislative actions and related positions and pronouncements by embracing and unleashing Saul Alinsky-type tactics against Ted Cruz or other conservatives.  Such unprincipled ambition has not and will not go unnoticed by conservatives.

WHO TOLD THEM TO STAND DOWN? Military Was Set to Launch Benghazi Counterattack Within 40 Minutes

Ironclad evidence that the Pentagon was prepared to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens and other diplomatic personnel in Benghazi, Libya has emerged.

The newly released email completely contradicts "the claim from Hillary [Clinton] and Leon Panetta that no forces were available and within reach to provide help to the compound that was under siege."

The billion dollar question remains: was it Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or Valerie Jarrett who gave the order to stand down?
