In which I obliterate the Wall Street Journal's pathetic attempt to see Paul Ryan become Speaker of the House
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Let's put aside the reason McCarthy is rumored to have withdrawn ("perhaps McCarthy shouldn't have been schtupping Renee Ellmers on the side, the worst-kept secret in Washington").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
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?
“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.
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.

JAYVEE TEAM: Nuke Smugglers Trying to Sell Dirty Bomb Material to ISIS to "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
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
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?
FORMER HOUSE INTELLIGENCE CHAIR: Of Course Islamic Law is Incompatible With the Constitution
NBC's "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd in a recent exchange with a presidential candidate raised an issue that should be discussed not only by all of the candidates, but debated and analyzed by the American people.
Is Islamic law (Shariah) compatible with the U.S. Constitution?
The question has no simple answer, but we have three recent examples of where regime change forced national leaders to determine Shariah's role in their governance, all failing to reach a definitive conclusion.
The first two followed interventions by the Obama administration, in one case actively and in the other passively, that facilitated the overthrow of stable authorities.
In Libya, NATO precipitated the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year dictatorship. In Egypt, the U.S. sent clear and unambiguous indications that replacing President Hosni Mubarak with the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood would be acceptable, if not desirable.
In both cases new governments rose to power through American support.
I illustrate how events unfolded following Gaddafi's deposition in my upcoming book, "Architects of Disaster: the Destruction of Libya."
OH, MY: Hillary Email’s Company Worried About a "Cover Up", Had Extra Backups Made
Big developments today in Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. According to emails uncovered by congressional investigators, the IT firm contracted to maintain Hillary Clinton’s secret email server became concerned about being roped into a “cover up” when they were asked to reduce email data after the State Department requested Clinton’s correspondence. Additionally, her deleted emails may still be recoverable as a SECOND company was involved in backing up the server.
Hillary Clinton hired a Connecticut company to back up her emails, and due to a technical glitch some may still reside on one of the firm’s “cloud” storage sites ... The disclosures, in a letter Monday from Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, heighten the possibility that some of Clinton’s more than 31,000 personal emails may still be recovered. She said last March that she deleted them all upon turning over her official emails to the State Department in December 2014.
...His letter to the chief executive of Datto Inc. of Norwalk, Conn., offers the first public confirmation that Clinton or her aides arranged for a backup of her email server after leaving office ... The letter also recounts a series of events that led an employee of Colorado-based Platte River Networks to air suspicions in an email as to whether “this whole thing really is covering up some shaddy sh**,” according to an excerpt of an email cited by Johnson, who is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

BLUE STATE UTOPIA: Illinois enters fourth month without a budget; standoff could mean lights out at Capitol
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White warned the governor this week that the ongoing budget standoff would cause major problems at government facilities statewide, "including the possibility that the electricity could be shut off at the Capitol".
Please consider: "Illinois' budget standoff could mean lights out at Capitol" (the article itself disappeared from the IUSB website, so the link goes to the cached version):
TED KENNEDY’S PLOT TO DESTROY AMERICA TURNS 50
Fifty years ago today, Ted Kennedy began changing the face of the United States by ushering the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act through Congress. That legislation resulted in the fundamental transformation of the demographic, economic, social, and political landscape of nation, exactly the opposite of what its supporters promised.
The Kennedy immigration law abolished the national origins quota system, which had favored immigrants from nations with a similar heritage to our own, and opened up American immigration visas to the entire world.
While about nine in ten of the immigrants who came to the United States during the 19th and 20th century hailed from Europe, the 1965 law inverted that figure. Today about 9 out of every 10 new immigrants brought into the country on green cards come from Latin America, Africa, Asia or the Middle East.
The size of the numbers also grew exponentially as well. According to Pew Research Center, 59 million immigrants entered the United States following the Act’s passage. Including their children, that added 72 million new residents to the U.S. population.
In 1965, according to Pew, the country was 84 percent white, 11 percent black, 4 percent Hispanic and less than 1 percent Asian.

CNN Photoshops Oregon Jihadist Shooter to "Fundamentally Transform" Him into a Caucasian Male
Remember the Trayvon Martin case? You know, the dude involved in burglary, PCP-like drug cocktails, and/or drug dealing who assaulted George Zimmerman and got capped for his trouble?Remember how the media claimed there was a new race called "White Hispanics", a term invented "by The New York Times to describe Zimmerman, apparently in some kind of push for a white vs. Black narrative"?
Good times.
Well, the media is at it again, this time photoshopping the Black Jihadist Oregon shooter -- whose name, if memory serves, was Abdul Bin Scumbag -- to make him appear white:
10 STARTLING FACTS: Obama, Putin and Syria
Ed.: We may be seeing the opening moves of World War III:
- Vladimir Putin's overall strategy is to prop up Russia's long-time regional ally, Syrian President Bashar al Assad.
- Russia has bombed targets in northwestern Syria, an area mainly held by non-ISIS rebel groups such as the Free Syrian Army and an Islamist coalition, Jaysh al-Fatah.
- The aim is to eliminate non-ISIS groups first. Then the Syrian, Russian, Iranian, Hezbollah alliance can turn its attention to ISIS and, thereby, force the United States to support or, at least, do nothing to hinder their operations.
- Controlling northwest Syria also safeguards Assad's Shia-Alawite home region and his base of support, as well as securing the strategically critical coastal area containing the Latakia airbase used by Russian forces and the important port of Tartus.
The Bear Has Awakened
Top 10 Misleading Obama Statements After Oregon Shooting That Was Praised by ISIS as an Act of Jihad
On October 1, 2015, the nation witnessed another tragic shooting -- this one at the Umpqua Community College in Oregon.
The President shortly took to a national platform to address the killings.This should have been an opportunity for the President to unite a grieving nation. But instead, he chose to foment division. He even bragged that it was right for him to politicize this tragedy.
Over and over again, on nationwide television, the President misled the American people in an effort to further restrict the rights of law-abiding Americans who have done no wrong.
But to the President, we say: Shame on you, for leveling so many false accusations about guns and crime in America.
Here are the Top Ten misstatements he made during that nationwide address.

The Impressive Performance of the Obama Economy in One Simple Chart
Notice that after each recession -- depicted in the sudden, upward moves in poverty rate -- a recovery quickly ensued. Each event looks like a pyramid. Until Obama.
For each recession in American history the pattern repeated itself: a rapid rise in the poverty rate, followed by a quick recovery as the economy steamed back.
That is, until Barack Obama took office. Obama has been -- in the words of Mark Levin -- an economic wrecking ball. Whether through nationalizing health care or regulatory strangulation, America's most "historic" president has simply devastated the country's poorest citizens.
The science, as they say, is settled.
Mr. Obama is historic, all right.

RFK, Theodore White, and the Great Debate over Immigration
In 1968, when Robert F. Kennedy was a senator from New York campaigning for the presidency, he frequently made a call to idealism that survives as a quotation vividly tied to his memory: "Some men see things as they are and say, why? I dream things that never were and say, why not?"
Over the past several months, as I researched the transformative 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act to write the paper we will release Thursday at the National Press Club, I thought often of Kennedy's famous quote.
The Hart-Celler Act was an expression of a national commitment to ideals that had been contradicted by the blatantly discriminatory immigration policy Congress adopted 41 years earlier. Under that earlier legislation immigrants were admitted not according to merit, but under a system that issued visas on the basis of national origin.
ATTACK SCENARIO: How Hillary Clinton’s Lust for Money and Power Led to America’s "Digital Pearl Harbor"
WHAT WAS THE 'OPM HACK'?
Every person who applies for a security clearance fills out an electronic application called an EQIP or EPSQ, which are questionnaires of applicants.
Those applying for a Top Secret clearance must answer an extremely detailed questionnaire delving into every aspect of their personal life: marital affairs, drug use, criminal activity, and any other bit of information that foreign intelligence services might use to blackmail or compromise a cleared individual.
All of those files were stolen by Red China.
The OPM hack has been so devastating to clandestine operations, including NOCs (agents operating under non-official cover), that the CIA just pulled its agents from Beijing "for their safety".
Virtually every current and future military and intelligence operation was put at risk by the OPM hack.
