No Refugees, No Terrorism

By Daniel Greenfield

Jordan’s Queen Rania told Europeans that they could either take in the Syrian refugees that her country doesn’t want or the refugees would turn to terrorism. And what if these “refugees,” like so many of the other Muslims who had settled in Europe over the years, decide that they like terrorism anyway? 

A tenth of London approves of ISIS now. Support for the Islamic State among the younger population in the UK, where Muslim demographics predominate, reaches as high as 14 percent.

What will it look like when tens of thousands of Muslims from the homeland of the Islamic State are added to the population? How much support will there be for Islamic terrorism a decade from now when the mass Muslim migration has fundamentally reshaped the UK’s religious demographics?

CRUZ DESTROYS JOHN BOEHNER: Disgraced Speaker Worked Deal to Fund Planned Parenthood With Pelosi

In all seriousness, Ted Cruz just unleashed several quotes of the year as the bumbling, incoherent, chain smoking loser known as John Boehner has decided to collect his long-anticipated 8-figure retirement bonus by transferring to a lobbying role on K Street.

Hours after House Speaker John Boehner announced that he would be resigning from Congress, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz added fuel to the fire by saying he’d heard “early reports” that Boehner cut a deal with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to continue funding some of President Barack Obama’s most controversial measures.

“I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House,” Cruz told reporters at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington.

You want to know how much each of you terrifies Washington? Yesterday, John Boehner was speaker of the House,” Cruz said. “You come to town and somehow that changes. My only request is, can you come more often?”

...“If you vote for Hillary, you are voting for Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon,” Cruz said. “If you vote for me, under no circumstances will a theocratic country led by an ayatollah that chats death to America, will Iran be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. And if the ayatollah doesn’t understand that, we may have to introduce him to the 72 virgins.”

GAME OVER: Latest Email Drop Reveals Hillary Committed Perjury

The consistently excellent John Hayward relays word that new emails between SECSTATE Hillary Clinton and CENTCOM's David Petraeus have been discovered. This revelation completely contradicts her statement under oath that she had revealed all of her official correspondence and deleted only her yoga workouts and Chelsea's plastic surgery wedding plans.

What the Associated Press reported on Friday afternoon sounds like the “game over” moment Democrats have been fearing since the Clinton email scandal came to a boil:

The Obama administration has discovered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn over when she provided what she said was the full record of work-related correspondence as secretary of state, officials said Friday, adding to the growing questions related to the Democratic presidential front-runner’s unusual usage of a private email account and server while in government.

The messages were exchanged with [now] retired Gen. David Petraeus when he headed the military’s U.S. Central Command, responsible for running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan [and] their existence challenges Clinton’s claim that she has handed over the entirety of her work emails from the account.

Hillary Clinton didn’t just “claim” she turned over all of her work-related emails. She signed a sworn statement to that effect in August, under penalty of perjury, and submitted it to a federal court. It’s the same statement her top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills refused to sign...

The Left’s Climate Fraud Exploded in Two Simple Charts

Over at Patriot Post, meteorologist Joe Bastardi has a simple request for Pope Francis. Before the Pontiff continues his campaign to destroy capitalism -- the single system which has inarguably brought more wealth to more people than any other economic framework in world history -- Bastardi simply asks that he examine two simple graphs:

1.) Human progress: The amount of people, life expectancy and global personal GDP. These “hockey sticks” show that, since the advent of fossil fuels, the human condition has improved immensely.


BUT NO, HE’S NOT A MUSLIM: Obama overrules six national security agencies, releases "terrorist all-star"

By Sara Noble

Six national security agencies warned against releasing an extremely dangerous terrorist from GITMO but Obama circumvented them and ignored their recommendations.

Normally, these agencies must sign off on letting a detainee go. They also insist that their home country have security in place to monitor the detainee. Obama ignored them and had his own special committee appointed who then let him go. They overruled the six intelligence agencies. The White House is playing nasty, dangerous politics.

As the Pope’s plane landed outside D.C., the White House announced the release. All but Fox ignored it or didn’t notice it. It is, however, an extremely important story because Barack Obama has succeeded in completely politicizing the Department of Defense.

Obama wants to close GITMO and will send vicious terrorists back to their homes to kill more Americans in order to do it. He just did it over the recommendations of six intelligence agencies and Ash Carter. He formed his own select committee of compliant minions to make the decision about the release and they, of course, found it was safe to send him back to Saudi Arabia.

Abdul Shalabi was suspected of being an Osama bin Laden bodyguard and waged a 9-year hunger strike. Shalabi has agreed to take a rehabilitation class in Saudi Arabia. That’s how absurd this gets. It leaves 114 at GITMO with 52 already approved for transfer, but none of this is the story.

The real story is that Obama has been trying to pressure Secretary of Defense Ash Carter to approve the release of these very dangerous terrorists and hasn’t succeeded. These captives are supposed to be approved by six intelligence agencies and Ash Carter before being returned home, but instead the dictatorial president decided to unilaterally form his own committee of hand-picked toadies to make the decision.

BRINGING "CAMP OF THE SAINTS" TO LIFE: Pope Francis and Marco Rubio Urge Erasing U.S. Borders

By Julia Hahn

Pope Francis is urging America to throw open her borders to thousands of impoverished migrants, in part to atone for the “sins” of the colonial era.

“We must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past. We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible,” he declared before a joint session of Congress. “Thousands of persons are led to travel north in search of a better life for themselves and for their loved ones, in search of greater opportunities…We must not be taken aback by their numbers.”

The call was not entirely unexpected.

“America Atone,” read The Drudge Report’s banner story upon the Pope’s arrival to the White House a day before his historic Congressional address.

The headline linked to a Bloomberg piece entitled, “Obama to Bask In Pope’s Aura, But Francis Wants Economic Justice.” The article predicted the Pope would aim to “exploit” his “moral authority” to “pressure his host” nation on issues including mass immigration and wealth redistribution.

Indeed, as the Pope addressed the nation today it is clear that the immigration issue has hit a boiling point. Headlines blare:

European Migrant Crisis: Austria, Germany Near Tipping PointAs Europe Grasps For Answers, More Migrants Flood Its BorderPope Francis Urges Congress To Embrace Migrants… Western and UN Aid Falling Far Short… Five More Fleets On The Way, From Africa, India and Asia… Refugee Fleet Is Headed For Europe, For France…

The last three headlines, however, are ripped not from today’s papers, but from the pages of a controversial 1973 French novel by Jean Raspail, which many say has predicted with shocking accuracy the events unfolding today.

THE PLOT: Obama to Import 200,000 MORE Muslim Refugees

By C.S.

In addition to the 3,000,000 Muslims imported since 9/11, Barack Obama intends to open the floodgates to mass immigration for Muslims, including unvetted individuals affiliated with terror groups. Virtually every one of these aliens will immediately get thousands of U.S. taxpayer dollars in welfare and medical benefits each year for up to nine years – and likely much longer.

Yesterday, Sen. Jeff Sessions ripped Obama's scheme to resettle 200,000 additional Muslims in the United States:

The Obama administration’s plan to resettle nearly 200,000 refugees in the U.S. over the next two years will have real fiscal and national security implications at a time when the U.S. has taken in more migrants than any other country, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) says.

“The U.S. has already taken in four times more immigrants than any other nation on Earth. Our foreign-born population share is set to break every known historical record,” Sessions, Chairman of the Senate’s Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, says in making the case against increasing the number of refugees resettled in the U.S.

He noted that since September 11, 2001, the U.S. has resettled about 1.5 million immigrants from Muslim nations. Some 90 percent receive on food stamps, and 70 percent are receiving free healthcare and cash welfare...

TO BE A MUSLIM OR NOT TO BE: By His Works Ye Shall Know Him

By Daniel John Sobieski

Republican presidential contender Donald Trump has said many contentious things before and during his candidacy and has gain considerable traction among the electorate, methinks, because he said many things that are on people’s minds that they are afraid to say themselves. Trump, with his repetitive denunciation of political correctness, has become their microphone.

But it was what he did not say to a questioner at a rare, for him, town hall meeting, that has gotten him in failure this time being roundly condemned for not slapping down a questioner who asked about Islamist training camps that are operating in the U.S., prefacing that with a question on whether Barack Hussein Obama is, as many suggest, a closet Muslim. Trump says he didn’t hear the first part, responding that he would look into the training camp issue.

There is a saying, a Christian saying, that by their fruits ye shall know them, and if President Obama is not a Muslim, he has given us every reason to think he is.

These 20 Scientists Want to Make it A Crime to Disagree with Them

By Coyote Blog

I think it is important to publicize these names far and wide:

  • Jagadish Shukla, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
  • Edward Maibach, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
  • Paul Dirmeyer, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
  • Barry Klinger, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
  • Paul Schopf, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
  • David Straus, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
  • Edward Sarachik, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
  • Michael Wallace, University of Washington, Seattle, WA
  • Alan Robock, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
  • Eugenia Kalnay, University of Maryland, College Park, MD
  • William Lau, University of Maryland, College Park, MD
  • Kevin Trenberth, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO
  • T.N. Krishnamurti, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
  • Vasu Misra, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
  • Ben Kirtman, University of Miami, Miami, FL
  • Robert Dickinson, University of Texas, Austin, TX
  • Michela Biasutti, Earth Institute, Columbia University, New York, NY
  • Mark Cane, Columbia University, New York, NY
  • Lisa Goddard, Earth Institute, Columbia University, New York, NY
  • Alan Betts, Atmospheric Research, Pittsford, VT

These 20 people, who nominally call themselves "scientists", have written a letter to President Obama urging him to use the RICO statute to prosecute people who disagree with them on climate science, essentially putting scientific agreement in the same status as organized crime. If they can't win the scientific debate with persurasion, they will win it with guns. From the letter:

One additional tool – recently proposed by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse – is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change.

Of course "deceive the American people" is defined by these folks in practice as "disagreeing with us".

THE AGENDA TO ERASE AMERICA: The Democrats’ Criminal Refugee "Resettlement" Gambit

By James Simpson

President Obama and his rancid leftist allies have subjected America to a blizzard of lies. Nothing that leaves his mouth even remotely parrots the truth, but typically stands truth on its head. The propaganda infrastructure spanning media, Hollywood, non-profit institutions and the halls of academia then erects a virtually impenetrable wall of disinformation to advance the lie.

They have just foisted on us a “deal” with Iran that threatens to create a holocaust, the likes of which America, and perhaps the world, has never seen. As Iran chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel,” this “deal” somehow skirted the advice and consent role reserved to the U.S. Senate. While we are afflicted with many feckless, incompetent and corrupt Republican Senators — never mind the Democrats — the “deal” could have never obtained the requisite approval of 2/3ds of senators. The lies about the “deal” are too numerous to catalog, and before the ink has even dried, Iran has suddenly “discovered” massive stockpiles of uranium it never knew it had!

Now the administration wants to use the refugee resettlement program to import a flood of Syrian immigrants into the U.S. It will virtually guarantee an opening for ISIS and other terrorists to establish bases in the U.S. legally with taxpayer dollars. Obama created his own 9-11 in Benghazi. Apparently that wasn’t enough. Now he wants one here.

GREAT NEWS: Iran Cranks Up Global Funding of Terror Groups in Anticipation of Democrat Sanctions Relief

By The Tower

Iran is using the expected financial windfall it will receive from the nuclear deal to increase its funding of the terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas, Avi Issacharoff reported in The Times of Israel today.

Since the deal was signed, Iran has significantly increased its financial support for two of the largest terror groups in the region that have become political players, Hamas and Hezbollah. In the years before the deal was signed, the crippling sanctions limited this support, which had significantly diminished along with Iran’s economy. But Tehran’s belief that tens, or hundreds, of billions of dollars will flow into the country in the coming years as a result of sanctions relief has led to a decision to boost the cash flow to these terror organizations.

This support, for example, has enabled Hezbollah to obtain highly developed new armaments, including advanced technologies that many militaries around the world would envy.

ANSWERING THE MEDIA’S QUESTION: Is Obama a Muslim?

By Lawrence Sellin

I do not believe Barack Obama is a Muslim, nor do I think he is a Christian, nor do I think it matters, because he is not motivated by any religious belief, but by a secular ideology.

All of his convictions and actions can be explained by a single supposition.

Obama is dedicated to the subversion of Western, in particular White European, Judeo-Christian-based democracy.

In the world today, the two strongest forces opposing Western, Judeo-Christian democracy are radical Islam and Marxism in its current manifestations.

The proponents of radical Islam and Marxism have a shared hatred of the United States as the embodiment of evil and the main impediment to the subjugation of the individual by either Sharia or the state.

In that respect, Obama's modus operandi can be considered Islamo-Marxist by embracing their methods that, he thinks, can effectively undermine American culture and weaken the ability to transmit to future generations the principles upon which the United States was founded, in order to pave the way for a new political order, his so-called fundamental transformation.

Top 20 Photos of Helpless Muslim Refugees in Europe You’ll Never See in Legacy Media

Why won't U.S. media show you how Muslim "refugees" are making themselves at home in Europe?

After all, the Democrat party is demanding that Obama bring 200,000 more of these "refugees" into American cities and towns -- at taxpayer expense. The least they could do is show you what you’ll be getting for your money.


SURPRISE: President Obama Decides to Build a Border Security Wall. Only One Problem: It’s in Africa.

By Mac Slavo

In 2005 then-Governor of Arizona Janet Napolitano famously said that building a wall on the southern border of the United States to stem the flow of illegal immigration would be ineffective. “You show me a 50-foot wall and I’ll show you a 51-foot ladder at the border. That’s the way the border works,” she argued.


A 7 mile stretch of President Obama’s “basically complete” border fence
That deep seeded focus on domestic security was apparently enough for President Obama to eventually appoint her as head of the Department of Homeland Security, overseeing the safety of the American people.

An actual wall designed to keep unknown individuals and potential terrorists out of the country, however, was never part of the security infrastructure and was never effectively implemented in the years following.

Because, of course, walls don’t work.

Except when you are building them in foreign countries.

Though the broader mainline media refuses to touch this story, it shows just how politicized the debate over illegal immigration in the United States has become.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: 20 Quotes by Barack Obama on Islam

The media exploded yesterday in "outrage" at Donald Trump's failure to correct a town hall questioner who accused Barack Obama of being a Muslim.

It's worth highlighting the hypocrisy of the media. After all, it was Hillary Clinton -- during the 2008 Democrat primary campaign -- who first raised suspicions that Obama was likely a crypto-Muslim.

Oh, and it wasn't Donald Trump who uttered the following public statements regarding Islam. It was Barack Obama:

1 “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”

2 “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”

3 “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”

4 “As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”

5 “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”

Hillary Answers Zero Questions During Wide-Ranging CNN Interview

By Sara Noble

Wolf Blitzer interviewed Hillary Clinton for 14 minutes and managed to let her duck every question. He also didn’t ask a single follow up question. Why even bother interviewing her?

The questions she didn’t answer:

• Carly Fiorina said you lack accomplishments. What’s your biggest accomplishment as Secretary of State?

• Carly Fiorina dared you to watch the Planned Parenthood videos, have you seen them?

• Might Planned Parenthood have broken any federal laws?

• On your server, why did it take you so long to apologize?

• Why is Bernie Sanders beating you in Iowa and New Hampshire?

• Are you more qualified than Vice President Biden?

• Are you ready to accept more DNC debates?

• Will you call on the DNC to authorize more debates?

• Would you be a better president than your husband?

It would be pretty funny if she wasn’t running for president. It would be nice to find out what she thinks her biggest accomplishments as Secretary of State are.

You can see the entire video at Independent Sentinel.

SMASHING THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT: Trump, Bush, Cruz and Me

Context: as has been expertly documented by The Last Refuge, the Republican establishment long ago designed and began implementing a convoluted strategy to nominate Jeb Bush and defeat Ted Cruz.


The GOP establishment (which the Refuge dubs "GOPe") devised a wide-ranging set of tactics to achieve that goal:
  1. Hidden within the massive CRomnibus bill to fund the government were obscure federal election law changes that allowed unlimited SuperPAC (large political action committees unaffiliated with specific candidates) contributions.
  2. They funded SuperPACs in order to incentivize the desired candidate behavior
  3. They changed the nomination rules of the 2016 primary (e.g., "winner take all delegates") to allow an unpopular candidate like Jeb to secure the nomination with only 20% (one-fifth!) of the delegates
  4. They altered the calendar dates of primaries to advantage a weak, establishment candidate (Bush) that had little, if any, grassroots support
All of these tactics were designed to support what the Refuge calls the "Splitter Strategy": a plan to dilute the GOP field with as many candidates as possible in order to erode the support of a popular, grassroots candidate.

For instance, Cruz vs. Bush was projected to be an utter rout in Florida, with internal polling showing that Cruz would crush Bush. But what would happen if the GOPe added Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Chris Christie, Rand Paul, Scott Walker, and Marco Rubio to the mix?

SHOCKA: Obama’s Iranian Lobby Tied Directly to Islamist Terror Regime

By The Tower

A prominent Iranian dissident has exposed the extensive commercial and political links between National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and a number of key figures in the Iranian regime, including current President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.

Writing in the Daily Beast under the pseudonym “Alex Shirazi,” the dissident – who concealed his identity out of fear of reprisals against his family in Iran – chronicled NIAC’s evolution within the broader ambitions of the Namazis, a little-known but influential Iranian family that first rose to prominence under the Shah and returned to Iranian public life following the death of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989. Under the 1989-97 Presidency of Hashemi Rasfanjani, who combined doctrinal orthodoxy with an eye for a smart deal, the Namazis were again in their element. Writes Shirazi:

IMPORTING "MIGRANTS" FROM SYRIA: What Could Go Wrong?

Europe is now discovering all of the benefits of unchecked immigration.


Which makes you wonder: why are dozens of Democrats lobbying to import 150,000 Syrians (and untold number of ISIS terrorists) into the United States?

Any Democrat advocating this insanity should be required to accept these "migrants" into their Congressional districts and their neighborhoods. We'll see how that plays with their constituents.

WHO KNEW? Intel Chiefs Reveal Obama’s "War" on ISIS is a Charade

By Allen West

When I was a young captain and artillery battery commander, I learned quickly that there were two folks you did not cross — the Mess Sergeant and the Supply Sergeant. One, well, is self-explanatory, because he prepares the chow, but the other maintains your property account. And trust me, I saw what happened to young captains who screwed over their supply sergeants — somehow stuff went missing, even if it had been inventoried and accounted for.

Now there’s another group of folks you do not want to cross — we lovingly refer to them as “spooks” — the brave and brilliant men and women of the intelligence community. They know the secrets and where the “bodies” are buried. And it seems they’re leading us to the gravesite.

As reported by the not so conservative 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.
