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.

Immigration Apocalypse Now

By Arnold Ahlert

A newly-leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals the Obama administration is seeking to sidestep a federal court injunction that suspended portions of the president’s amnesty-based initiatives known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). In short, Obama is determined to impose his transformational agenda on the nation by any means necessary.
 
According to the Hill, the document outlining the administration’s attempt to thumb its nose at the rule of law was prepared at a DHS “Regulations Retreat” last June, four months after a preliminary injunction was initially imposed by Texas Judge Andrew Hanen and subsequently left in place by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit's final ruling on that injunction, either confirming or reversing it, is expected to occur in a matter of days.

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.

POLL: For First Time, Most Democrats View Insane, Failed, Murderous Political Philosophy Favorably

Over at Rasmussen, the pollsters have discovered that -- for the first time in history -- self-identified members of the Democrat Party now view socialism favorably.

The man currently running a distant second for the Democratic presidential nomination, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, is a self-declared socialist, and most of his party’s voters now have a positive view of socialism. They are almost evenly divided as to whether they like capitalism or socialism more.

Socialism, Communism, Maoism, and National Socialism (e.g., the Nazi Party) are all offshoots of Marxism. They are all branches of the same defective tree.

Marxism has failed in literally every venue it has been tried, despite progressives' laughable efforts to claim certain countries have implemented it successfully.

EXPERT: Marco Rubio Misleading Voters, Plans to Open the Floodgates to Foreign Tech Workers

By Julia Hahn

Marco Rubio is trying to defend his unpopular effort to expand the controversial H-1B outsourcing program by claiming that he wants to protect American professionals from being replaced by low-wage foreign professionals.

In a Thursday morning radio interview, Rubio amped up the defensive claims he made at Wednesday night’s CNBC debate. Rubio said that he “proposed… reforms” that would prevent wealthy corporations from using foreign professionals as low-cost alternatives to experienced American professionals.

But Rubio’s claim is “an outright fabrication,” said Howard University’s Ron Hira, an expert on the H-1B outsourcing program. Rubio “has not included any such [anti-abuse] proposal in his bill, even though he had ample opportunity to do so.”

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.

MARCO RUBIO: Young, Stupid Americans Simply Incapable of Competing With Foreigners for Tech Jobs

By Julia Hahn

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told a nationwide audience in Wednesday’s CNBC Republican presidential debate that companies are importing foreign graduates because American college grads just can’t do the work.

The claim came when CNBC’s John Hardwood asked Rubio if he was undercutting American professionals by supporting a bill to let companies import more foreign temporary H-1B “guest workers” for white-collar jobs. Rubio evaded the question by blaming Americans’ supposed lack of skills.

"We need to get back to training people in this country to do the jobs of the 21st century… The best way to close this gap is to modernize higher education so Americans have the skills for those jobs,” Rubio claimed. The “ideal scenario is to train Americans to do the work, so we don’t have to rely on people from abroad,” Rubio declared.

According to labor experts and U.S. census data, foreign workers are often used to replace employed American workers, and the U.S. labor market is now flooded with under-employed Americans hoping to pay off their college debts and earn a decent wage.

“It’s ironic that Rubio would basically blame American workers for not being skilled and trained [even though] American workers in his own state, who have the skills and were doing their job, were replaced by H-1B workers, who had less skills,” Howard University professor Ron Hira told Breitbart News.

Clinton Foundation Must Restate All Tax Filings by 11/16; Were AIDS Drugs Used to Launder Money?

It's not only the FBI -- which is investigating her mishandling of classified files -- that has Hillary Clinton worried. The Clinton Foundation's financial skulduggery is also set to return to the spotlight. Ken Silverstein has the very interesting tale.

The Clinton Foundation has until November 16 to amend more than ten years’ worth of state, federal and foreign filings, but it’s going to be virtually impossible to do so without acknowledging that it has engaged in massive accounting fraud since its inception

...the [Clinton] foundation portrays itself as do-gooder nonprofit organization but a cursory look reveals questionable and incomplete disclosures of its activities and accounts, as well as incredible misspending of donor money, virtually since its inception...

...the problems appear set to catch up with the foundation (now formally known as the Bill, Hillary, & Chelsea Clinton Foundation), which has until November 16 to amend more than ten years’ worth of state, federal and foreign filings. According to Charles Ortel, a financial whistleblower, it will be difficult if not impossible for the foundation to amend its financial returns without acknowledging accounting fraud and admitting that it generated substantial private gain for directors, insiders and Clinton cronies, all of which is against the law under an IRS rule called inurement.

While inurement may sound obscure to the layman, it’s an ancient legal principle and the IRS is very clear that it is verboten. If you are familiar with it, it becomes immediately clear that Bill Clinton – and arguably Hillary and daughter Chelsea as family members and fellow Clinton Foundation trustees – could have big problems come November 16. So, too, could Clinton cronies like Ira Magaziner (see below) and Doug Band, a Clinton administration and former Foundation insider who subsequently became a founding partner of a bipartisan business swamp called Teneo Holdings...

...“It’s illegal to set up a foundation whose primary purpose is to create financial gain,” said Ortel – who helped expose massive financial fraud by GE, GM and AIG, thereby helping trigger the 2009 financial collapse...
