WHITE HOUSE: Congressional Crackdown on Terrorists Attempting to Enter U.S. Will "Violate Iran Deal"

Just when you thought the Obama administration had maxed out the Insane-o-Meter, it pulls another rabid killer rabbit out of its hat. An incredulous Adam Kredo reports:

Senior Obama administration officials are expressing concern that congressional attempts to tighten laws preventing terrorists from entering the United States could violate the Iran nuclear agreement and prompt Tehran to walk away from the agreement.

NOT SHOCKING, LITERALLY: Obama’s Iranian Partners in Peace Trying to Bring Down U.S. Electric Grid

By The Tower

Iranian cyber-attackers have been targeting the U.S. electrical grid’s networks and stealing highly sensitive data, an Associated Press investigation revealed on Monday.

Brian Wallace, a researcher at the cyber-security firm Cylance, discovered that critical files from Calpine Corporation, which operates 82 power plants in 18 states and Canada, were stolen in a breach that began around August 2013 and may be ongoing. The information in those files included passwords, diagrams, and sensitive engineering designs of power plants, at least one of which was marked “Mission Critical.” After analyzing circumstantial evidence, investigators concluded that the data was compromised by Iranian hackers.

EX-OBAMA DEFENSE SECRETARY: White House Tried to "Destroy Me"

By The Tower

In a shocking interview in Foreign Policy Magazine, former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel accused White House officials of trying to “destroy” him personally in his last days in office. The comments have sent a stream of commentary across Washington and suggest a further erosion of the President’s legacy on foreign policy.

Hagel resigned in late 2014 after he took issue with the administration’s decision-making process, and especially President Obama’s decision not to punish Syria for its use of chemical weapons, ordering the military to stand down on August 30, 2013. This came in the wake of the President’s declaration that the use of chemical weapons would be a “red line.” In Hagel’s view, he told Foreign Policy, “A president’s word is a big thing, and when the president says things, that’s a big deal.” Hagel’s critique of the decision-making process was covered in an earlier post.

THANKS, PAUL RYAN: GOPe/Democrat Budget Funds a Quarter Million Islamic Migrants In a Single Year

By Julia Hahn

The House passed Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill, negotiated with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). A majority of House Republicans voted for the measure, which fully funds Obama’s refugee resettlement operation, all Mideast immigration programs, Sanctuary Cities, Obama’s continued executive amnesty for DREAMers, and the resettlement of illegal aliens within the U.S. interior.

In perhaps a display of loyalty to Ryan, three-fifths of the Republican conference supported his legislation, and even gave him a standing ovation following the bill’s passage.

In passing this legislation, the House has approved funding for the issuance of nearly three hundred thousand visas to migrants from Muslim countries in the next year alone.

The Disqualification List For President

By Karl Denninger

If you vote for, support, donate to or otherwise have anything to do with these candidates you are a traitor to this nation and deserve to be stripped of your citizenship and deported to North Korea.

The list now includes:

  • Senator Lindsey Graham
  • Senator Rubio, who did not show up to vote.

Why?  Not just because they voted for or didn't show up on the Omnibus spending bill, which for all intents and purposes gives Democrats everything they wanted.

PURE EVIL: Chicago’s Property Tax-and-Graft Scheme Revealed

By Mike Shedlock

On October 28, the Chicago City Council passed the largest property-tax hike in modern city history by a vote of 36-14, approving Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s 2016 budget proposal.

Taxpayers will have to fork over another $588 million property-tax hike to be phased in over the next four years.

Some businesses and taxpayers will simply flee, joining what now is best viewed as the "Great Illinois Exodus".

Someone always benefits from these tax-and-spend schemes. Who is it?

IF YOU LIKE YOUR 401(k), YOU CAN KEEP YOUR 401(k): Obama Labor Dept. Sets Stage for Nationalizing Retirement Accounts

By David Mills

BUMPED: Not only did the GOPe/Democrat budget bill fund every one of Barack Obama's lawless actions, it also supported the Department of Labor's illegal, Soviet-style takeover of the retirement industry. The 401(k) takeover scheme is opposed by majorities of representatives on both sides of the aisle; and the failure of Paul Ryan to even defund this lawless land-grab speaks volumes about the sellout of America by the Uniparty. Cruz-Trump 2016.

In 2013, in a little-heralded case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected the Obama Labor Department's attempt to punish voluntary retirement plan service providers. The DOL, under the direction of the controversial, radical leftist Tom Perez, had tried to force providers of 401(k), 403(b), IRA, and related services to adopt a massive new set of regulations known as "fiduciary" responsibilities.

The Seventh Circuit slammed the door shut on Labor and the Supreme Court thereafter declined to hear the appeal, which meant that the Obama administration had lost in the highest court in the land.

Of course for the "most transparent administration ever", that step simply meant that the court's opinion was to be rejected and that Obama would use his infamous pen to rule by executive fiat. After all, the ends justify the means, correct?

CRIMINAL INTENT: Déjà vu all over again

By Jim Quinn

Janet Yellen increased interest rates for the first time in nine years this week. She isn’t raising them because the economy is strengthening. The economy just happens to be weakening rapidly, as global recession takes hold. The stock market is 3% lower than it was in December 2014, and has basically done nothing since the end of QE3. Wall Street is throwing a hissy fit to try and stop Janet from boosting rates by an inconsequential .25%. Janet would prefer not to raise rates, but the credibility and reputation of her bubble blowing machine is at stake. The Fed has enriched their Wall Street benefactors over the last six years, while destroying the real economy and the middle class.

The quarter point increase will be reversed in short order as soon as we experience market collapse part two. It will be followed with negative interest rates and QE4, as these academics have only one play in their playbook – print money. They created the last financial crisis and have set the stage for the next – even bigger collapse. John Hussman explains how their zero interest rate policy has driven speculators into junk bonds as the only place to get any yield.

"LOYALTY HAS BEEN REPAID WITH BETRAYAL" Jeff Sessions Slams Paul Ryan for Mocking American Workers

By Julia Hahn

While members of House Freedom Caucus are giving Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) a public pass on the omnibus, populist thought leader Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is weighing in strongly. Sessions, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, chided Ryan for making publicly false statements about the contents of the legislation— quoting from Ryan’s declarations during a Thursday appearance on Michael Medved’s radio show.

During the radio interview, Ryan dismissed what he described as the “hysteria” surrounding an immigration expansion tucked 700 pages into Ryan’s spending bill:

Meet the 28 GOP Senators Who Funded Sanctuary Cities, Importing ISIS, Abortion, and Welfare for Mexico

By Fire Andrea Mitchell

Meet the 28 Republicans who voted for fund sanctuary cities, importing of Syrian terrorists, funding abortion, sending welfare to Mexico and central America and so forth.

These are the names of the 28 Republican Senators who sold you out, voting to destroy you and your childrens' futures.

In fact, these 28 Republicans are no different than the Democrat-Socialist Party:

FIGURES: Paul Ryan Builds Security Fence Around His Mansion While Denying Americans a Border Fence

By Julia Hahn

A recent Breitbart News investigation reveals that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), who has a two-decade-long history of promoting open borders immigration policies, seems to support border fences for himself, even as he denies the American people those same protections.

Marco Rubio Has Some Swampland He’d Like to Sell You

By Jen Kuznicki

To hear the Rubio supporters tell it — unsurprisingly the same people who supported Romney and McCain and Cochran and McConnell and (insert list of Republican white beards here) — Ted Cruz opposed the Gang of Eight bill because there just wasn’t enough liberal policy in it.

Yes, the likes of Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Michael Bennet (D-C), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John S. McCain III (R-AZ), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) just couldn’t insert enough liberal, “open border” policy into the Gang of Eight bill, they needed Ted Cruz R-TX to show them the way.

CRUZ: Anyone else find it odd that Obama and Hillary support radical Islam while targeting law-abiding citizens?

By AWR Hawkins

During a post-debate interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on December 15, Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) described how political correctness prejudices President Obama and Hillary Clinton against law-abiding American citizens.

Cruz pointed to Obama and Clinton’s immediate reactions to the San Bernardino attack as proof, explaining that both of them reacted to initial attack reports by calling for more gun control on law-abiding citizens before the San Bernardino attackers had even been found or identified.

On December 2, Breitbart News reported that Obama called for more gun control while the San Bernardino shooters were still at large and Clinton called for more gun control via Twitter while the hunt for the gunman and gunwoman was still underway.

THE 10 TREASONS OF PAUL RYAN: GOP’s $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill Funds Obama’s Entire, Lawless Agenda

And the liars in the Republican establishment wonder why the base is going to nuke them from orbit in the primaries? Stephen K. Bannon and Julia Hahn have the details of a sellout of almost unbelievable proportions. The 10 key takeaways to circulate far and wide are as follows:

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s first major legislative achievement is a total and complete sell-out of the American people masquerading as an appropriations bill.

Too harsh, you say? Let the programs, the spending, and the implications speak for themselves.

Mark Levin Unloads on @BritHume and Charles @Krauthammer as @FoxNews @SpecialReport Continues to Lurch Left

As expected given the stellar debate performances of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, the panicked "analysts" at the Fox News channel locked arms with the Chamber of Commerce tonight to air an infomercial for Marco Rubio.

The Special Report panel this evening featured a trio of open-borders, pro-Amnesty establishment apologists who appeared to have donned matching "Vote for Marco" T-shirts (their "Vote for ¡Jeb!" tees having quietly been donated to Goodwill).

Perhaps these rocket scientists might consider why the Fox Business Channel is now the fastest growing cable channel in the U.S. (hint: Lou Dobbs is a rock-ribbed conservative, for starters).

The invaluable Mark Levin let FNC have it tonight and Breitbart's Jeff Poor was on the case:

GOOD NEWS: Jeb Bush Is Thinking of Sabotaging the GOP

By Sara Noble

Ironically, Jeb Bush might be the one to blow up the Republican party. It’s been on life support under Barack Obama anyway, why not commit suicide?

A Politico article on Wednesday has the Establishment cheer-to-the-throne Jeb Bush considering blowing up the Republican party and doing what they’ve been accusing Donald Trump of planning. If Trump is the candidate, Bush might not support him.

He’s going to break his pledge. If he does that publicly, it’s a character flaw.

TERROR PLOT IN MISSOURI: What the Hell is Going On?

By Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

It’s been an interesting few weeks in The Show Me state of Missouri. Events there have not left anyone feeling as safe and secure as Obama keeps claiming they should be from his podium. Quite the opposite. Things in the US are getting really interesting these days in a bad way. First we had the Jihadist killings in San Bernardino by the Bonnie and Clyde of terrorism. On Syred Farook’s phone were pictures of at least 11 schools. Then this morning, the LA School District was evacuated. Over 700,000 students were sent home and 900 schools are being searched from top to bottom today because of an overseas terrorism threat sent to a school board member. That must have been one doozie of a threat. We are a little light on those details, but it evidently involved at least three schools and an unspecified number of students. Welcome to the new America.

BUMMER: A Third of Hezbollah’s Fighters Have Been Killed or Maimed Backing Assad in Syria

By The Tower

As much as one third of Hezbollah’s fighting force has been killed or injured fighting in defense of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Avi Issacharoff reported Tuesday in The Times of Israel.

According to Issacharoff, Israeli sources estimate that between 1,300 to 1,500 members of the Iran-backed terrorist group have been killed in Syria, while an additional 5,000 have been injured. The surging casualty count has forced Hezbollah to deviate from past policy and release details on its losses.

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.
