Paul Ryan Doesn’t Believe in Borders or National Sovereignty

By Julia Hahn

As the donor class continues to push for a Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) Speakership, conservative activists have renewed their scrutiny of Ryan’s support for a radical Republican policy of open borders. Breitbart News has discovered yet another little-noticed video in which Ryan articulates his commitment to immigration policies that would dissolve America’s sovereignty.

The video, uploaded by the Journal Times, shows Ryan at a July 2013 bilingual Hispanic Listening Session in Racine, Wisconsin. At the meeting, Paul Ryan told a predominantly Hispanic audience that the job of a U.S. lawmaker is to put oneself in the shoes of foreign nationals who want to come to the United States, then work to discover solutions to make their lives better.

The Journal Times notes that the purpose of the meeting was for Ryan to “explai[n] to them his motives” for pushing to enact Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s amnesty and mass immigration agenda in the House of Representatives.

As Ryan spoke, translators conveyed his message to audience members who did not speak English:

The Embarrassing Spectacle Known as the Democrat Debate

By Richard Larsen

There are several self-evident truths about the Democrat Party that were revealed at their presidential debate earlier this week. And as they relate to the character of the party, what it stands for, and what its adherents believe, none bode well for the future of the country.

Bernie Sanders, the self-avowed Democrat-Socialist Senator from Vermont, drew perhaps the most boisterous response to his comment, “Let me say something that may not be great politics. The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” referring to Hillary Clinton’s FBI email investigation. Clearly Sanders was echoing the sentiment of the Democrat faithful as evidenced by the raucous response in the debate hall, but such a sentiment underscores the elitism of the party; the “rule of law” is selectively applied, and has little or no relevance to the elite. And in Democrat circles, there are none more elite than the Clintons.

Those with high level security clearance are beholden to the regulations designed to protect national security, and knowingly mishandling classified information (or even sensitive information not classified “Top Secret”), bears criminal repercussions. The cases of former CIA directors General David Petraeus and John Deutch clearly prove the criminal liability. And according to Judicial Watch, the Obama Administration has charged more government employees under the Espionage Act than any since the post-WWI era law was enacted.

Being Barack Obama

By Lawrence Sellin

It is no longer considered a brilliant or unwarranted diagnosis to conclude that Barack Hussein Obama suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others; all usually disguising a fragile self-image that is vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

It would not be unfair, in my opinion, to speculate that Obama may also demonstrate some characteristics of malignant narcissism, where individuals might display an increased level of hostility and sadistically undermine organizations in which they are involved, as well as dehumanize the people with whom they associate; in this case, the United States and ordinary Americans, respectively.

In government, such conduct can manifest itself as a form of antisocial behavior, camouflaged aggression, in which the formal regulations and procedures of an organization are used in both delivering and masking aggression, appearing as non-confrontational, in which the perpetrator can go unnoticed and those harmed may not even be seen as victims of aggression.

"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America." - Barack Obama, October 30, 2008.

"We are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation." - Michelle Obama, May 14, 2008.

MOST! TRANSPARENT! EVAH! White House concealing list of a dozen dying Obamacare insurers

By Richard Pollock

Federal officials have a secret list of 11 Obamacare health insurance co-ops they fear are on the verge of failure, but they refuse to disclose them to the public or to Congress, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation has learned.

Just in the last three weeks, five of the original 24 Obamacare co-ops announced plans to close, bringing the total of failures to eight barely two years after their launch with $2 billion in start-up capital from the taxpayers under the Affordable Care Act.

All 24 received 15-year loans in varying amounts to offer health insurance to poor and low income customers and provide publicly funded competition to private, for-profit insurers. The eight co-ops to announce closings served populations in ten states: Iowa, Nebraska, Kentucky, West Virginia, Louisiana, Nevada, Tennessee, Vermont, New York and Colorado.

Nearly half a million failing co-op customers will have to find new coverage in 2016. More than $900 million of the original $2 billion in loans has been lost.

The 11 unidentified co-ops appear to be still operating but are now on “enhanced oversight” by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, which manages the Obamacare program. The 11 received letters from CMS demanding that they take urgent actions to avoid closing.

Aaron Albright, chief CMS spokesman, said 11 co-ops “are either on a corrective action plan or enhanced oversight. We have not released the letters or names.” He gave no grounds for withholding the information from either the public or Congress.

SHOCKA: Clinton Foundation Donor Successfully Lobbied Hillary State Dept. for Massive Hotel Project in Haiti

Writing at the consistently excellent Washington Free Beacon, Alana Goodman reveals Chapter 918 of the Clinton Global Graft Almanac. In this case, a conspicuous contributor to the Clinton Foundation successfully bribed lobbied the Secretary of State -- Hillary Clinton --- and the Clinton Global Graft Initiative itself for a hotel project in Haiti that successfully opened last March.

A donor to the Clinton Foundation reached out to Hillary Clinton’s office to promote a Haiti hotel project that later received support from the U.S. government and Bill Clinton, according to emails released by the Department of State.

Richard L. Friedman, a Boston hotel developer emailed Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff, to tout the project on May 17, 2011 ... [noting] he recently had a discussion with Hillary Clinton at the White House and asked Mills to forward her a note for him. It is unclear what he and Clinton discussed, and portions of his email have been redacted by the State Department due to “personal private interests.” The note he asked Mills to send to Clinton is also redacted.

MIRACULOUS! U.S. MEDIA MADE THE REFUGEE CRISIS GO AWAY!

By Sara Noble


The refugee crisis in Europe has disappeared from U.S. media reports but nothing has changed except for the coverage. The overflowing camps and the extremely large numbers of migrants continue to flow, along with chaos and disorder. All news of it has disappeared from the news.

On September 4th Angela Merkel suspended European asylum rules and allowed tens of thousands of refugees stranded in Hungary to enter Germany via Austria. It won her accolades. There was no limit, Merkel said, to the right to asylum. The mood has begun to change since.

More than 200,000 migrants entered Germany in the month of September. As many as 1.5 million could enter within a year.

Trey Gowdy Smacks Elijah Cummings Around Over Leaks/Stonewalling on Benghazi Committee with Epic 13-Page Letter

By Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

This is pure political gold - you just have to read Trey Gowdy's letter to Elijah Cummings. He deftly smacked him alongside the head over the Benghazi Committee and his leaks and stonewalling techniques that have done nothing but throw sand in the gears of the proceedings. It was epic and masterful. Gowdy simply eviscerated Cummings. I think he obliterated the two brain cells the man had left. The Democrats have done nothing but throw baseless allegations around concerning the Benghazi Committee. They have not called one new witness in months. No document requests have been made either. Cummings and his fellow Marxists finagled their way onto the committee to drag it down and kill it procedurally. It was all arranged and pre-planned. The only ones mischaracterizing testimony here are the Democrats. It's what they do.

HILLARY WAS "HUMAN" AND "LIKABLE" LAST WEEK BUT SHE'S "TOUGH" AND "CANDID" THIS WEEK

By Sara Noble


For the last two weeks, Hillary has been presenting herself as “human” and “likable”, as promised by her campaign staff . This week, she’s “tough” and having “candid” meetings with the Soros-funded BlackLivesMatter extremists.
 She might be considering making some alarming promises.
Slate published an article in June about Hillary titled, One Tough Mother. The subtitle was, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going to sell her as a fighter like no other.

It’s now happening.

‘VOTE FOR PAUL RYAN IS VOTE FOR AMNESTY': Luis Gutierrez Endorses Ryan For Speaker

By Julia Hahn

Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) is endorsing Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Gutierrez, perhaps the most extreme open-borders advocate in Congress, was interviewed on MSNBC.

As CNN is now reporting, “Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez on MSNBC called Ryan one of the smartest men in the GOP. ‘He would be good for the country,’ Gutierrez said. ‘He would be good for the Republican Party. Paul Ryan is the kind of individual that would work with people on the other side of the aisle and that’s what we need.'”

Gutierrez has worked tirelessly to expand immigration levels and open America’s borders up to the rest of the world. As Gutierrez once declared, “I have only one loyalty…and that’s to the immigrant community.”

Gutierrez and Paul Ryan have been longtime partners on efforts to open Americans borders. Indeed, Paul Ryan is arguably the most pro-amnesty GOP lawmaker in Congress, and even supports expanding immigration levels beyond many Democrats.

Many amnesty opponents believe that if Ryan had been House Speaker, rather than Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), the Gang of Eight bill would have been sent to President Obama’s desk.

As NumbersUSA’s Director of Government Relations told Breitbart News: “A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote for Gang of Eight style amnesty that includes massive increases in legal immigration and replacing American workers with foreign-born workers. A vote for Paul Ryan is a vote to continue Obama’s transformation of America.”

DOH: Marco Rubio Praises Obamatrade

By Julia Hahn

While Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has declared war on Obamatrade, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) says he’s “very positive” about the President’s success in finalizing the deal.

“Rubio voted in favor of fast-track and has struck a favorable tone toward the overall deal,” writes The Hill.

Obamatrade collectively refers to Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which is the controversial fast-track mechanism for ramming trade treaties through Congress with minimum scrutiny, and the three major trade deals that would be guaranteed these “fast-track” protections before a page of them had been made public: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) and Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA).

Trade negotiators announced on Monday that they had reached an agreement on TPP.

In June of this year, Marco Rubio voted with GOP Leaders to pass fast track authority (TPA) and give Obama the power to ink globalist trade pacts before a single word of TPP, TiSA, or T-TIP were publicly available. Fast track authority lowers the 67 votes required to pass a treaty to a mere simply majority, it surrenders the 60 vote filibuster, and it forfeits individual senators’ ability to add amendments or changes to the trade deals negotiated by the president. It also allows the President to sign the agreement before Congress even votes.

BUMMER: Top Iranian General in Syria Dies of Natural Causes and Artillery Shells, But Mostly Artillery Shells

By The Tower

A top Iranian general responsible for shoring up the support of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was killed in a battle with anti-Assad forces outside the Syrian city of Aleppo, The Wall Street Journal reported (Google link) today.

Brig. Gen. Hossein Hamedani died at the hands of “Daesh terrorists” on Thursday while conducting advisory duties, Iranian state media said, quoting a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC.

Although the statement used the Arab acronym for the extremist group Islamic State to describe those responsible for Gen. Hamedani’s death, the circumstances of his demise weren’t disclosed. The Iranian government, like the Syrian regime, tends to use “Daesh” and “terrorists” as catchall terms for all opponents of President Bashar al-Assad.

Gen. Hamedani, a longtime commander in the elite military unit of the IRGC, is believed to have directly overseen the organization of pro-Assad forces into groups such as the Popular Committees, which were later folded into the so-called National Defense Force.

Those groups were drawn largely drawn from Syria’s Alawite population and number between 150,000 and 190,000 men.

The European Union sanctioned Hamedani in 2011 for human rights violations, due to his role in suppressing the pro-democracy Green Movement protests after the stolen presidential election in 2009.

In January of this year, another IRGC general was killed in an airstrike against a joint Iranian-Hezbollah convoy on the Syrian Golan Heights. Israel is believed to have carried out the airstrike.

Clinton Emailed Identity Of Top CIA Asset Over Unsecure Server

By Masked Avenger

Last night, Yahoo News broke another big development in Hillary Clinton’s growing email scandal. According the below report, Hillary Clinton used her secret email server to “pass along the identity of one of the CIA’s top Libyan intelligence sources,” material the government considers “some of the most protected information in our intelligence community.”

This latest shoe to drop underscores the recklessness of Hillary Clinton’s decision to skirt transparency laws with her secret email server.

NOTE: Hillary Clinton used her private email account to pass along the identity of one of the CIA’s top Libyan intelligence sources, raising new questions about her handling of classified information...

...On March 18, 2011, Sidney Blumenthal — Clinton’s longtime friend and political adviser — sent the then secretary of state an email to her private account that contained apparently highly sensitive information he had received from Tyler Drumheller, a former top CIA official with whom Blumenthal at the time had a business relationship. “Tyler spoke to a colleague currently at CIA, who told him the agency had been dependent for intelligence from [redacted due to sources and methods],” the email states, according to Gowdy’s letter. The redacted information was “the name of a human source,” Gowdy wrote to his Democratic counterpart, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, and was therefore “some of the most protected information in our intelligence community.”

And what did our genius Democrat frontrunner for President -- Bill's wife -- do with this highly sensitive information that, if disclosed, could get people killed?

In which I obliterate the Wall Street Journal's pathetic attempt to see Paul Ryan become Speaker of the House

Over at the GOP establishment's press release reprint service known as The Wall Street Journal, the panic over Kevin McCarthy's sudden withdrawal from the race for the Speaker's gavel is palpable.

Decrying a "toxic crack-up inside the Republican conference", the Journal says the real issues in Washington are the fault of the "Refuseniks" (the party's conservative base and its representatives, albeit a better epithet than "hobbits"). According to the WSJ rocket scientists, conservatives blame the GOPe "for all the country’s problems, not President Obama."

That kind of sheer unvarnished idiocy is not unexpected from the GOP, which now seeks to install Boehner Lite -- Paul Ryan -- as Speaker.

Let's put aside the reason McCarthy is rumored to have withdrawn ("perhaps McCarthy shouldn't have been schtupping Renee Ellmers on the side, the worst-kept secret in Washington").

No, the real problem -- as Leon H. Wolf reminds us -- is the GOP establishment itself:

HEY, LIBS: Here’s How to Create a Gun-Free America in 5 Easy Steps

By Austin Bragg

Want to create a gun-free America in 5 easy steps?

Here's all there is to it:

Step 1: Elect. For a gun-free America, the first thing you'll need is two-thirds of Congress. So elect a minimum of 67 Senators and 290 Representatives who are on your side.

Step 2: Propose. Then, have them vote to propose an amendment to the Constitution which repeals Second Amendment gun rights for all Americans.

Step 3: Ratify. Then convince the legislators of 38 states to ratify that change.

At this point, the Second Amendment is history, but you've done nothing to decrease gun violence. All you've done is remove the barrier for Congress to act.

Step 4: Legislate. Now you need to enact "common sense" reform...

Why Does It Feel Like a Depression for Most of Us?

By Jim Quinn

“And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.” John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

Everyone has seen the pictures of the unemployed waiting in soup lines during the Great Depression. When you try to tell a propaganda believing, willfully ignorant, mainstream media watching, math challenged consumer we are in the midst of a Greater Depression, they act as if you’ve lost your mind. They will immediately bluster about the 5.1% unemployment rate, record corporate profits, and stock market near all-time highs. The cognitive dissonance of these people is only exceeded by their inability to understand basic mathematical concepts.

The reason you don’t see huge lines of people waiting in soup lines during this Greater Depression is because the government has figured out how to disguise suffering through modern technology. During the height of the Great Depression in 1933, there were 12.8 million Americans unemployed. These were the men pictured in the soup lines. Today, there are 46 million Americans in an electronic soup kitchen line, as their food is distributed through EBT cards (with that angel of mercy JP Morgan reaping billions in profits by processing the transactions):

DEMOCRATS: The Pro-Crime Party. And Chicago is Proof.

By Daniel Greenfield

They're always talking about gun control in Chicago. And it never seems to work.

With at least 60 murders citywide, last month was the deadliest September in Chicago since 2002, reports the Chicago Tribune.

According to CBS Chicago, the explosion of homicides last month pushed the murder rate for the year to date to 21 percent above last year. Compared to 2014, shooting incidents were up 19 percent, and the number of shooting victims was up 14 percent. Overall crime - including robberies, burglaries, and thefts - was down 7 percent.

The Ferguson Effect is still doing its work. Because #BlackLivesMatter.

FBI SEIZES HILLARY STATE DEPT. SERVERS: Who cops a plea deal first, Huma or Cheryl Mills?

It now appears certain that someone in Hillary Clinton's inner circle copied Top Secret information from a SCIF (Secure Compartmented Information Facility) to an unclassified email system, thereby committing multiple felonies. Each such instance is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The FBI is so certain that this occurred that it has seized four (count 'em: four) State Department servers in order to forensically determine who perpetrated these crimes.

The FBI has seized four State Department computer servers as part of its probe into how classified information was compromised on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email system ... They are being checked by technical forensic analysts charged with determining how Top Secret material was sent to Clinton’s private email by State Department aides during her tenure as secretary from 2009 to 2013...

...The FBI is trying to determine the origin of the highly classified information that was found in Clinton emails ... the department also has been unwilling to say whether the private email system, used by Clinton and close aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, should be considered an official State Department network covered by FOIA laws.

JAYVEE TEAM: Nuke Smugglers Trying to Sell Dirty Bomb Material to ISIS to "Bomb the Americans"

'I really want an Islamic buyer because they will bomb the Americans.'

If this is the Jayvee team, I don't think we want to see the varsity.

Over the pulsating beat at an exclusive nightclub, the arms smuggler made his pitch to a client: 2.5 million euros for enough radioactive cesium to contaminate several city blocks.

It was earlier this year, and the two men were plotting their deal at an unlikely spot: the terrace of Cocos Prive, a dance club and sushi bar in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova.

"You can make a dirty bomb, which would be perfect for the Islamic State," the smuggler said. "If you have a connection with them, the business will go smoothly."

MR. CRUZ GOES TO WASHINGTON: The Man the Establishment Loves to Hate Rips Democrat Plantation Politics

By Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)

In his very first inaugural address, President Thomas Jefferson defined ‘good government’ as one that ‘shall restrain men from injuring one another’ and ‘shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement.’

This pro-liberty standard—embraced by our Founding Fathers and the Constitution—has served us well. Today, the United States stands as the most powerful and prosperous nation in history – a beacon of hope to people throughout the world

But there is a growing sense among many that our nation is in decline.

We have now seen years of sluggish economic growth, stagnant household income – the largest percentage of Americans not working since 1977 -- far too many who’ve simply given up any hope of having a job, of starting a business, of having a future.

Entrepreneurship—truly one of America’s defining traits—is hurting, badly. It is a tough time to own a small business in America today.

TREE RING BOY HARDEST HIT: Climate Fraud Implodes as Slight Order-of-Magnitude-Sized Math Error Discovered

By Karl Denninger

Now about those so-called "scientists" that want those who do not believe the "climate narrative" prosecuted -- can we go after them under 42 USC 1983 and 18 USC 242 for attempting to deprive persons of their rights under color of law?

A MATHEMATICAL discovery by Perth-based electrical engineer Dr David Evans may change everything about the climate debate, on the eve of the UN climate change conference in Paris next month.

A former climate modeller for the Government’s Australian Greenhouse Office, with six degrees in applied mathematics, Dr Evans has unpacked the architecture of the basic climate model which underpins all climate science.

He has found that, while the underlying physics of the model is correct, it had been applied incorrectly.

He has fixed two errors and the new corrected model finds the climate’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) is much lower than was thought.

It turns out the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has over-estimated future global warming by as much as 10 times, he says.

Do you know why science requires (1) the publication of your raw data, (2) the publication of all the manipulations, constants, formulas and other transformations you do to your data, (3) the publication of your methods (that is, your means of collection of data, how you decided what data to collect, etc) and your analytical process?
