WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Maryland’s largest school district closes for Muslim holiday

By Kyle Olson

Striking a blow for “fairness,” Maryland’s largest school district will be closed for a Muslim holiday next fall.

The Montgomery County Board of Education voted 6-2 Tuesday to cancel classes on the Islamic holy day of Eid al-Adha next school year. More than 156,000 students are enrolled in the suburban Washington, D.C. district, according to Fox Baltimore. It will likely fall on Monday, September 12.

Board member Jill Ortman-Fouse believes it’s about fairness.

INDICTMENT: 17 of Hillary Clinton’s Worst Email Lies

Word came late yesterday that the FBI has expanded its probe of Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified files.

A former assistant director of the FBI, Tom Fuentes, notes that "it’s [likely] more than a preliminary inquiry; it sounds like a full-blown investigation ...When you have this amount of resources going into it ... I think it’s at the investigative level.”

Commenting at Yahoo News, commenter David proffers a fairly comprehensive list of Clinton's email lies, any one of which would have landed you or I a full-time gig at Leavenworth breaking rocks.

WASHINGTON POST EDITOR ADMITS: Obama’s Embrace of Terror States Will Leave a Legacy of Carnage

By The Tower

The Obama administration’s outreach to repressive regimes in Myanmar, Cuba, and Iran, rather than having a moderating influence, has instead allowed them to “entrench their authoritarian systems for the long term, while screening out any liberalizing influence,” Jackson Diehl, the deputy editorial page editor of The Washington Post, wrote in an op-ed published Monday.

ASKED & ANSWERED: Arab Whines About Celebrating 'Student Day' at Hebrew University in Jerusalem

Seen here:

An Arab (Moslem) student addressed a question to the Hebrew University Student Association. Read the response he received:
As an Arab student, who pays 400 shekels at the start of each year, I would like to ask you: Why does the Student Association hold its ‘Student Day’ on the day Jerusalem was conquered? Why should the Student Association ignore the Arab students, who constitute a sizable percentage of the students of Hebrew University?

CONTEMPT: Hillary Clinton Lied Under Oath Repeatedly During Her "Successful" Benghazi Testimony

Writing at the Washington Free Beacon, Daniel Bassali offers an excellent summary of Hillary Clinton's literally contemptible testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

Clinton [asserted that] 95 percent of her emails were already stored on the State Department’s server because she emailed government accounts, which are automatically stored—unlike her own private account. When asked by Chairman Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) where she obtained this fact, which she mentioned numerous times in her testimony, Clinton cited the State Department. The following day, spokesman Mark Toner said the State Department did not provide that figure. An Inspector General report released in March said only 0.00006 percent of all emails were properly archived on State Department servers.

Palestinian Terror Group Rips Senator Ted Cruz for Calling it Palestinian Terror Group

By Israel Hayom

The Palestine Liberation Organization on Thursday criticized Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz over a Senate hearing he oversaw on Palestinian and Iranian terrorism that it called "biased and inflammatory."

In an unusually harsh statement issued Thursday, the PLO said the Judiciary subcommittee hearing provided no Palestinian viewpoint and conflated all Palestinians with terrorists. The PLO expressed alarm at what it said was a growing trend in the United States to "dehumanize" Palestinians.

A CRY FROM GERMANY: The Unfolding Destruction of Europe

Spotted in the comments section at Moonbattery ("Congressman Acknowledges Unfolding Destruction of Western Civilization"):

A Female Physician in Munich, Germany sends a message to the world: Yesterday, at the hospital we had a meeting about how the situation here and at the other Munich hospitals is unsustainable. Clinics cannot handle emergencies, so they are starting to send everything to the hospitals.

Many Muslims are refusing treatment by female staff and, we, women, are refusing to go among those animals, especially from Africa. Relations between the staff and migrants are going from bad to worse. Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units.

ENCANTADOR!: As President, Marco Rubio Says He Intends to Preserve Lawless Obama Executive Amnesty

By Julia Hahn

In recent days, Republican presidential candidates have slammed donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for his support of Obama’s 2012 executive amnesty for DREAMers, or illegal aliens who came to the United States as minors.

The executive action, known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), provides recipients with work permits, tax credits, and access to federal entitlement programs.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump declared, “Marco Rubio would keep Barack Obama’s executive order on amnesty intact… Cannot be President.”

California Knife Attacker Identified as Militant Quaker Extremist

I'm just guessing the religion of the knife-wielding attacker -- who stabbed multiple innocents at UC Merced -- based upon his name.

The UC Merced student who wounded four people in a stabbing spree at the campus has been identified as Faisal Mohammad, a[n 18 year-old] freshman student from Santa Clara...

...Mohammad was shot and killed by UC Merced police just after 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning as he ran from the two-story classroom building where investigators said his violent spree began ...

STICK A FORK IN EUROPE: It’s Done

By Karl Denninger

Let me explain what you're not seeing reported about the European situation right here, right now.

There are millions of immigrants coming into the EU.  Germany alone has apparently taken in close to 800,000.  The story being sold to the population is that these are just people from a war-ravaged part of the world seeking a better life.  The first part may be true, the rest is bunk.  There are, on some weekends, over ten thousand migrants coming over one border (Hungary) alone and virtually none have an interest in remaining there.  They are all concentrating in the places where they believe the handouts (not opportunity) will be greatest.

But that is not the bad part.

HARSH: Obama Official Who Pled Guilty to Espionage Gets... $250 Fine

By Richard Pollock

Glenn Woodell, a NASA supervisor who pled guilty to violating U.S. espionage laws involving a Chinese NASA contractor was given a slap on the wrist with six months’ probation and a $250 fine, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Daniel Jobson, a Woodell colleague and fellow NASA supervisor, had his espionage charges reduced to a misdemeanor and was released without any penalty.

The lenient plea deals were quietly delivered October 26 in U.S. District Court in Newport News, Virginia. The U.S. Attorneys office did not to issue a press release about the deals and declined comment when contacted by the DCNF.

Woodell was charged under Title 18 of the nation’s espionage laws and faced a maximum penalty of one-year imprisonment and a fine of $100,000.

“It’s like a traffic ticket or something for littering,” commented former U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf in an interview with the DCNF. A former Virginia Republican congressman who was chairman of a House appropriations oversight subcommittee for NASA, worked to expose Bo Jiang, the Chinese NASA contractor at the heart of the espionage case.

Bizarro President

By Caroline Glick

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Barack Obama next week is likely to look less like a rapprochement than a showdown at the OK Corral.

The flurry of spy stories spinning around in recent weeks makes clear that US-Israel relations remain in crisis.

Two weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal published a fairly detailed account of the US’s massive spying operations against Israel between 2010 and 2012.

Their purpose was to prevent Israel from attacking Iran’s nuclear installations. The Journal report, which was based on US sources, also detailed the evasion tactics the Obama administration employed to try to hide its covert nuclear talks with Iran from Israel. According to the report, the administration was infuriated that through its spy operations against Iran, Israel discovered the talks and the government asked the White House to tell it what was going on.

Over the past several days, the Israeli media have reported the Israeli side of the US spying story.

Radical 80-Year Old Israeli Woman Terrorist Interferes with Innocent Palestinian's Knife-Wielding Practice

By Daniel Greenfield

Another one of Kerry's frustrated oppressed "Palestinians" went on a stabbing spree in Israel. The 19-year-old terrorist stabbed an 80-year-old Israeli woman. She is in serious condition. The terrorist stabbed two others as well.

The crowd attempted to attack the terrorist, but were held back by the police. A local Rishon Letzion politician named Yitzchak Avshalom has managed to get himself in every news story by bragging that he helped protect the terrorist from angry residents. I'm not sure how he's planning to run on that, but there have been worse political platforms than protecting terrorists. I just can't think of any.

OBAMA’S MASS RELEASE OF FELONS: How many more Americans will be killed or maimed as a result?

Writing at Conservative Review, the consistently excellent Daniel Horowitz offers a concise summary of the outrageous behavior of the Obama administration as it pertains to criminal illegal aliens.

There seems to be a grievance group that has successfully attracted the attention of all or a portion of the political class for any perceived injustice under the sun.  But why is it that nobody in the political class finds a need to act with urgency to protect American lives from violent illegal aliens?  Why are American victims of violence from illegal aliens the only group that garners no attention from the media or politicians?  

ASYLUM SCAMMERS: Fake Passport Business is Booming

By Ann Corcoran

That’s what the Wall Street Journal is reporting, thanks to Jeff for sending the story.

The ‘stars’ of the WSJ piece landed in the UK, but I wonder how many are landing at an airport near you as we speak?

ISTANBUL—Somewhere over Europe, Kassem went to the airplane’s bathroom and flushed his fake Italian passport down the toilet.

When he landed in London’s Heathrow Airport a few hours later, Kassem presented his Syrian ID to U.K. immigration officials and requested asylum. The trip wouldn’t have been possible using his actual, Syrian passport—the country’s four-year civil war has turned it into a burden for anyone fleeing the conflict.

When asked where his passport was, Kassem told the officials: “It’s in the toilet.”

TIMELINE: Hillary Clinton’s Lies to the American People, the Families of the Victims and Herself

By Raj Shah

There is a growing disconnect between Hillary Clinton’s public statements following the Benghazi terror attack and what was being communicated in private. 

New information reveals that the State Department not only knew that the attack had nothing to do with a video, but that officials were specifically cautioned to stay clear of that false narrative.

Yet despite the evidence, Hillary maintains, “I still believe to this day that the video played a role.”

During her testimony before the Benghazi committee, she blamed the contradictions between public and private communications as the result of “conflicting information we were trying to make sense of.” But, a breakdown of internal communications shows that there was a clear understanding that the video had nothing to do with the Benghazi attack.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: Former Adviser Reveals Obama Wanted to Impress Muslims by Ditching Israel

By Daniel Greenfield

Jennifer Rubin has an excerpt from an interview with Dennis Ross, a former senior adviser to Obama.

"When the president comes in, he thinks we have a major problem with Arabs and Muslims. And he sees that as a function of the Bush administration — an image, fairly or not, that Bush was at war with Islam. So one of the ways that he wants to show that he’s going to have an outreach to the Muslim world is that he’s going to give this speech in Cairo. So he wants to reach out and show that the US is not so close to the Israelis, which he thinks also feeds this perception. That’s why there’s an impulse to do some distancing from Israel, and that’s why the settlement issue is seized in a way."

It's not news, but it is confirmation that Obama deliberately sought to alienate and distance Israel. And would have done so regardless of who was the Prime Minister of Israel.

MAP: Did your state silently absorb more Syrian Muslim Refugees (with likely ISIS infiltrators) this month?

By Ann Corcoran

The Obama Administration says they will resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US in FY 2016 which began October 1. Here is a map showing where the first 187 Syrians have been placed (as of today)*. Two weeks ago, it had been only 51 (see here), but Kentucky is still the number one destination (here with 26).

Of the 187 admitted to the US this month, 183 are Sunni Muslims. There were 3 Catholics and 1 Christian. That is 98% Muslim. Last year the percentage of Muslims in the Syrian flow to America was 97%.

If Obama wants to get 10,000 in here in one year, they will surely have to step this up. I expect the slow start involves the problem they are having doing the security screening. He will have to get almost 900 a month in here to make his quota.

War of the Worlds

By Jim Quinn

“We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as human beings busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacence men went to and fro over the earth about their little affairs … In the thirty-ninth year of the twentieth century came the great disillusionment. It was near the end of October. Business was better. The war scare was over. More men were back at work. Sales were picking up.” – Opening monologue of War of the Worlds broadcast – October 30,1938

It was 77 years ago this week that Orson Welles struck terror into the hearts of Americans with his live radio broadcast of the HG Wells classic War of the Worlds. The broadcast began at 8:00 pm on Mischief Night 1938. As I was searching for anything of interest to watch the other night on the 600 cable stations available 24/7, I stumbled across a PBS program about Welles’ famous broadcast. As I watched the program, I was struck by how this episode during the last Fourth Turning and how people react to events is so similar to how people are reacting during the current Fourth Turning. History may not repeat exactly, but it certainly rhymes.

This Is What The "Invasion Of Europe" Looks Like

By Tyler Durden

On Monday, we brought you a series of still shots along with a video which depicted the scope of Europe’s migrant crisis via drone footage.

The point in highlighting the imagery was to demonstrate just how futile the EU’s effort to establish a series of refugee “holding camps” along the Balkan route to Germany is likely to be.
