TED CRUZ: Here is How John Boehner and Mitch McConnell Can Still Stop the Iran Nuclear Deal

By Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas)

The specter of a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic of Iran is the single greatest threat facing our nation, and if President Barack Obama's catastrophic nuclear deal with the mullahs goes forward, there will be nothing to stop them from obtaining a nuclear bomb. 

Astonishingly, we do not even know how bad the deal is because the Administration has not released all of the information relating to side deals with Iran as they are obligated to do under the terms of Corker-Cardin, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act that Congress passed and the President signed into law.

Today I sent Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner a letter that lays out the legal authority they possess as leaders in both Houses of Congress to actually stop this deal.

If we believe what we say about this deal—that it is a profound threat to our national security, to the survival of our friend and ally the nation of Israel and potentially to the lives of millions of Americans—then we should act like it. No show votes that are destined to lose; instead, the leadership should exercise their legal authority to actually prevent more than $100 billion from going to the Ayatollah Khamenei.

The approach I recommend entails a three-step process, and McConnell and Boehner should seize this opportunity to demonstrate leadership and make it happen.

Progressive Rapper Azealia Banks Likes Trump's Plan: Blacks Disproportionately Hurt by Illegal Immigration

By Julia Hahn

As polls show Donald Trump performing better than ever with black voters, progressive rapper Azealia Banks is expressing support for Trump’s popular immigration policy because of the positive impact it could have on black Americans.

“Do you think it’s bad that I sort of agree with [Trump’s] stance on immigration?” the rapper wrote on her Instagram account on September 7th.

Banks, a black rapper from Harlem, made headlines in March of this year by declaring her hatred for “this country” and “white Americans.”

Banks explained that her support for Trump’s immigration plan is based on the detrimental impact mass immigration has had on the black community. “Black Americans still have not been paid reparations for slavery,” she wrote. “It’s selfish, but America has been really good at convincing me that everyone else’s problems are more important than my own.”

Following an immediate onslaught of progressive backlash, Banks tried to vaguely signal to progressives that her pro-America immigration statement was just a “social experiment.” However, all of her social media posts thereafter demonstrate a strong support for the ideas underpinning Trump’s rise.

“If the United States of America is an aircraft on its way down, (which it seems to be) I must put my own air mask on before I assist others,” Banks later wrote.

"Come out to the pyramids, we'll get together, have a few laughs"

Not to make light of yet another tragedy in the Middle East, but the latest news out of Egypt isn't going to help the tourism trade:

Egyptian security forces accidentally shoot at Mexican tourist convoy, killing 12

Egypt's police and military killed 12 Egyptians and Mexicans and injured 10 when they accidentally shot at a Mexican tourist convoy whilst engaging militants in the country's western desert, the Ministry of Interior said on Monday.

"The incident resulted in the death of 12 Mexicans and Egyptians and the injury of 10 others who have been transferred to hospitals," the ministry said in a statement.

It added that the convoy was made up of four four-wheel drive vehicles and that there would be an investigation into how and why the tourists entered an off-limits area.

Egypt is battling an insurgency that gained pace after the military ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in mid-2013 after mass protests against his rule.

The insurgency, mounted by Islamic State's Egyptian affiliate, has killed hundreds of soldiers and police and has started to attack Western targets.

By all means, let's import more Muslim refugees into the United States -- hundreds of thousands of them if Democrats had their way. That should make things better. After all, the higher the percentage of a country's citizens are Muslims, the more that peace and tranquility rule the day.

72 DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: We Must Allow 130,000 Syrians and ISIS Terrorists Into the U.S.

By Sara Noble

A letter to the House of Representatives signed by 72 Democrats insists the United States take in 130,000 Syrian refugees. Representatives Conyers and Lofgren, in a separate statement, want 200,000 refugees.

Representatives John Conyers and Zoe Lofgren want the United States to take in 200,000 refugees and they want 100,000 of that number to be from Syria.

The fact that they can’t be vetted is of no consequence to them.

“It is time for the United States to join the global community for a humanitarian response,” the two lawmakers said. “We should do our part by admitting 200,000 refugees, with 100,000 reserved for refugees from Syria.”

“The president wants to surge thousands of Syrian refugees into the United States, in spite of consistent intelligence community and federal law enforcement warnings that we do not have the intelligence needed to vet individuals from the conflict zone,” said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul.

GERMANY AND THE HIJRAH: New Laws May Force Homeowners to Rent Properties to Migrants

According to the German newspaper MMnews (English via Google Translate), federal and local governments may be planning compulsory rentals of vacant properties to migrants.

Federal and state governments are planning new law on compulsory letting vacant homes to refugees. The Regulation is primarily aimed at unused commercial properties. It is not excluded that even condos and homes covered by the proposed law.

According to research of the ARD Berlin Studios federal and state governments are planning the introduction of Acceleration Act that forced temporary rentals will enable vacant properties to provide accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers.

MITCH McCONNELL AND BOB CORKER: When the first Iranian terror strike occurs, both of these traitors better run for the hills

The behavior of Mitch McConnell and Bob Corker over the last six months has been nothing less than horrifying.

Barack Obama's treasonous Iran deal will -- and there is no debate regarding this -- reward the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism with upwards of $150 billion. China and Russia are champing at the bit to sell Iran as many advanced weapon systems as they can.

Corker and McConnell ceded the Senate's Constitutional powers to approve any treaty by reversing the balance of power. Instead of the president requiring two-thirds of the Senate, a Corker (read: McConnell) bill reversed the equation. It's called "Failure Theater": pretend to oppose Obama's radical policies while actually supporting him.

I was interested to find out why. This is a life and death matter. Iran's incessant chants of "Death to America" make that much clear. Why would these ostensible "Republicans" allow such a nightmare to proceed?

Follow the money. Who are the most recent donors to Mitch McConnell?

MARK LEVIN: Democrats 'Will Have Blood on Their Hands' For Supporting Iran Deal

By Jordan Schachtel

Nationally-renowned author and Conservative talk show host Mark Levin sent a defiant message to GOP leadership Wednesday afternoon at the Stop Iran rally at Capitol Hill.

In his fiery speech, Levin demanded they do more to stop the deal. He also took aim at Democrat leadership in both the legislative branch and the White House, suggesting that the Iran deal shows how far to the left the Democratic Party has fallen.

“Never before has a President of the United States. Never before has a political party consented to funding and arming the enemy. Never before has a President entered into agreements with a terrorist regime that holds American hostages; that has killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers, and that seeks nuclear weapons and ICBMs (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles) to attack his own country,” said Levin.

“Barack Obama makes Neville Chamberlain look like George S. Patton,” the former Reagan staffer added.

Levin highlighted the dangers involved if the deal were to be implemented in Congress.

“This phony deal allows the Iranian terrorist regime to inspect its own nuclear sites; to continue uranium enrichment; to build advanced centrifuges; to perfect their ICBMS; to spend $150 billion dollars on terrorism, and in the end, to secure nuclear warheads,” he said.

He then had some choice words for the Democratic Party.

41 Traitors

By Daniel Greenfield

41 Democratic Senators chose to back an Iran deal that is a disaster for national security, a gift to terrorists and a path to war. Here are the five worst things about the deal that the #41Traitors now own.

5. We Don't Know What's in the Deal - While the text of the treaty is online, the devil is in the details. Those details are the agreements between Iran and the IAEA. Iran has demanded that those agreements be kept secret. The #41Traitors are backing a deal whose contents they don't even know. We have to pass it to find out how many nuclear bombs Iran ends up with.

Obama and Biden have refused to answer questions about what's in those agreements, but one of those agreements lets...

SPY REVOLT: Obama Administration Knowingly Lied About ISIS to Calm Political Waters Before 2014 Election

Truly shocking revelations about the most transparent administration in the history of transparent administrations, according to the right-wing Daily Beast:

It’s being called a “revolt” by intelligence pros who are paid to give their honest assessment of the ISIS war—but are instead seeing their reports turned into happy talk.

More than 50 intelligence analysts working out of the U.S. military's Central Command have formally complained that their reports on ISIS and al Qaeda’s branch in Syria were being inappropriately altered by senior officials, The Daily Beast has learned.


The complaints spurred the Pentagon’s inspector general to open an investigation into the alleged manipulation of intelligence. The fact that so many people complained suggests there are deep-rooted, systemic problems in how the U.S. military command charged with the war against the self-proclaimed Islamic State assesses intelligence.

The cancer was within the senior level of the intelligence command,” one defense official said.

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN: Obama-Corker Iran Deal Increases Odds of Catastrophic War

By The Tower

Rep. Ted Lieu (D – Calif.), an Air Force veteran and a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, announced his opposition to the nuclear deal with Iran today in a detailed 23-page press release (.pdf).

Lieu stated that his opposition to the deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), comes from one of his “guiding principles” of avoiding war. “I have concluded the JCPOA increases the chances of more regional conflict and US entanglement in the Middle East in the short term, and a lengthy, difficult and more deadly war with Iran in the long term ” Lieu stated. He then laid out how he expects the terms of the JCPOA to play out over the next 15 years.

Europe’s death knell

By Robert Spencer

Approximately 104,460 asylum seekers arrived in Germany during the month of August, setting a new record. That makes 413,535 registered refugees and migrants coming to Germany in 2015 so far. The country expects a total of around 800,000 people to seek asylum in Germany this year. And that’s just Germany. The entire continent of Europe is being inundated with refugees at a rate unprecedented in world history. This is no longer just a “refugee crisis.” This is a hijrah.

Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. It was after the hijrah that Muhammad for the first time became not just a preacher of religious ideas, but a political and military leader. That was what occasioned his new “revelations” exhorting his followers to commit violence against unbelievers. Significantly, the Islamic calendar counts the hijrah, not Muhammad’s birth or the occasion of his first “revelation,” as the beginning of Islam, implying that Islam is not fully itself without a political and military component.

To emigrate in the cause of Allah – that is, to move to a new land in order to bring Islam there, is considered in Islam to be a highly meritorious act. “And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance,” says the Qur’an. “And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful.” (4:100) The exalted status of such emigrants led a British jihad group that won notoriety (and a shutdown by the government) a few years ago for celebrating 9/11 to call itself Al-Muhajiroun: The Emigrants.

Islamists and the Democrat Party: Co-belligerents in the War on America

By Lawrence Sellin

It should surprise no one that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has joined the Black Lives Matter movement.

It is logical that CAIR, the unindicted co-conspirator in the prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation for providing support to the terrorist group Hamas, should join a group which has contributed to an atmosphere of violent incitement and hatred against police officers across the nation.

While Islamic radicals seek to rid the world of heresies and of the infidels who practice them, leftists desire to purge society of the vices allegedly spawned by capitalism -- those being racism, sexism, imperialism, and greed.

Although their motivations are different, fundamentalist Islam and the radical political left are both devoted to totalitarianism, have a shared hatred of Western civilization and Judeo-Christian democracy and they are equally determined to extinguish liberty and subjugate the individual, either to Sharia or the state.

The current turmoil playing out every day on American streets and fomented by criminals and extremists, has been tolerated if not encouraged by the hands-off approach of Barack Obama, whose own radical leftist beliefs and his love of, if not strict adherence to Islam, could qualify him as the nation's first Marxist Mahdi, eager to cleanse America of the "evils" perpetrated by capitalism and Judeo-Christianity.

Societal division and social unrest are tactics used to destabilize and demoralize, to further fundamentally transform the country, which has already been undermined economically and culturally from within; of which, in no small part, is the deliberate, politically-motivated invasion of the United States by illegal immigrants and so-called Muslim refugees.

MAP: Which Muslim Countries are Sealing their Borders to Prevent an Onslaught of Syrian Refugees?

Perhaps the Obama administration could explain why American cities and towns are being forced to accept Syrian refugees (and, according to ISIS, terrorists hidden among them) when the wealthiest Arab countries are sealing their borders.

Five of the wealthiest Muslim countries have taken no Syrian refugees in at all, arguing that doing so would open them up to the risk of terrorism. Although the oil rich countries have handed over aid money, Britain has donated more than Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar combined.

Between 10 and 12 million Syrians have been displaced by the bloody civil war raging in their country. Most still remain within Syria’s borders, but around four million have fled over the borders into neighbouring countries, mostly Turkey Jordan and Lebanon, and beyond.

Lebanon, which has 1.1 million Syrian refugees, shut her borders to the Syrians in June of last year. Jordan, host to another 630,000, followed suit in August last year, preventing more Syrians from abandoning their country...

The schmucks at The New York Times insist that the United States must do what Muslim countries refuse to: accept Syrian refugees infused with hard-core ISIS terrorists.

That's not me asserting the terror threat: that's ISIS saying it.

But don't worry, folks: Barack Obama and John Kerry are on this.

Possibly the finest Michael Ramirez editorial cartoon ever, which is really saying something

There is no substantial argument against the position that Michael Ramirez is the finest editorial cartoonist of his generation.

Case in point:

We need a new term to describe the buffoons who voted this man into office twice. "Drones" doesn't do them justice.

Why Have Oil-Rich Arab Countries Abandoned Muslim Refugees?

By Nonie Darwish

Western media is reporting on the Muslim refugee crisis as a humanitarian problem that the West must deal with. But where are the media’s questions about the huge financial and land resources available to oil rich Arab and Muslim countries? Where are the Islamic solutions in this equation?

The world is often lectured to about the urgency of respecting Arab and Islamic brotherly love, but where is the Arab action to rescue fellow Muslims and Arabs from the claws of ISIS?

Where are Arab feminists, especially those who demonstrated against France for banning the hijab? They are silent and doing nothing to rescue thousands of women that are victims of Islamic jihadist rape and enslavement. The only compassionate women helping women in the Middle East are the Christian mother Teresas and Kayla Muellers of the western world.  

Where are the mighty Arab armies who waged dozens of wars against Israel? Why aren’t they fighting ISIS and building tent cities in the vast deserts of Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and the wealthy Gulf States? They are all claiming they are “moderate” Muslims and that they are against ISIS. But is one substantive thing they have done?

Say, wasn’t it Hillary -- not Donald Trump -- who pointed a gun at a young illegal immigrant and deported him?

By Daniel John Sobieski

Time was when Hillary Clinton shared Donald Trump’s dream of family reunification for illegal alien families, just not on this side of the border. Hillary, who trashes Trump’s desire to end the fraud of birthright citizenship just for being pregnant while slipping past the border patrol, was even First Lady when presidential hubby William Jefferson Clinton returned young Elian Gonzalez to his father in Cuba, literally at gunpoint.

As recently as June, 2014, when unaccompanied minor children were being ferried by “coyotes” under contract north on the tops of boxcars in what GOP presidential contender Jeb Bush said was an “act of love”, Hillary Clinton told CNN such children should be quickly returned to their foreign parents, to send a message:

“They should be sent back as soon as it can be determined who the responsible adults in their family are because there are concerns about whether all of them can be sent back, but I think all of them that can be should be reunited with their families,” she said, adding that the United States must do more to confront the violence in the region and strengthen border security. “But we have to send a clear message that ‘Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean your child gets to stay. We don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”

They should be sent back as soon as possible, she said, which is what Donald Trump is saying.

STORED ON HER SUPER-SECURE BATHROOM SERVER: Top Secret North Korea Satellite Intel Discovered on Hillary’s Home Computer

John Solomon at The Washington Times reveals Hillary Clinton felony #639 (although my count is conservative and is probably low).

One of the most serious potential breaches of national security identified so far by the intelligence community inside Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private emails involves the relaying of classified information concerning the movement of North Korean nuclear assets, which was obtained from spy satellites.

Multiple intelligence sources who spoke to The Washington Times, solely on the condition of anonymity, said concerns about the movement of the North Korean information through Mrs. Clinton’s unsecured server are twofold.

First, spy satellite information is frequently classified at the top-secret level and handled within a special compartment called Talent-Keyhole. This means it is one of the most sensitive forms of intelligence gathered by the U.S...

...Allowing sensitive U.S. intelligence about North Korea to seep into a more insecure private email server has upset the intelligence community because it threatens to expose its methods and assets for gathering intelligence on the secretive communist nation.

I would wager that whichever Clinton hacks passed on this kind of heavily guarded information are not sleeping well these days.

HILLARY RODHAM BISMARCK HIT WITH ANOTHER SALVO: Her Emails Altered to Hide Classification Markings

Johnny Dollar relays a story from Catherine Herridge that describes another set of Clinton felonies. Just tack these on to a laundry list of crimes that would have sent any of us peons straight to the joint.

At least four classified Hillary Clinton emails had their markings changed to a category that shields the content from Congress and the public ... in what State Department whistleblowers believed to be an effort to hide the true extent of classified information on the former secretary of state’s server.

The changes, which came to light after the first tranche of 296 Benghazi emails was released in May, was confirmed by two sources -- one congressional, the other intelligence. The four emails originally were marked classified after a review by career officials at the State Department. But after a second review by the department's legal office, the designation was switched to "B5" -- also known as "deliberative process," which refers to internal deliberations by the Executive Branch. Such discussions are exempt from public release.  

The B5 coding has the effect, according to a congressional source, of dropping the email content "down a deep black hole."

The four mails are separate and distinct from another group of emails identified by the Intelligence Community Inspector General as containing two messages with "Top Secret"  information.

......at least one of the lawyers in the office where the changes were made is Catherine “Kate” Duval, who was at the IRS during the Lois Lerner e-mail scandal and now handles the release of documents to the Benghazi select committee. Duval once worked for the same firm as Clinton's private attorney David Kendall. 

...there were internal department complaints that Duval, and a second lawyer also linked to Kendall, gave at the very least the appearance of a conflict of interest during the email review... The whistleblowers told intelligence community officials that they did not agree with the B5 changes, and the changes had the effect of shielding the full extent of classified content on the server...

Donald Trump’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World

By Lawrence Sellin

If Donald Trump did not exist, he would have to be invented.

Illegal immigration, China, the economy, radical Islam? Yes, they are all important issues, as are others, but they are mere talking points compared to what frightens the establishment the most; voter sentiments of which our "esteemed" politicians and journalists may not even be aware.

Trump has tapped into, but, as yet, not fully exploited the two most critical issues, not just of the 2016 election, but the ones that will determine whether or not the United States will survive as a republic.

They are also the two issues that, if not addressed, will make it impossible to solve any of the other problems the country faces.

The political-media establishment is hopelessly corrupt and, although we have elections, we no longer have representative government.

And the American people are fed up.
