QOTD: "The Obama Administration and Iran have developed closer secret diplomatic ties over the past months. A key player in this back channel deal making is Valerie Jarrett. It is now known that Jarrett had traveled to Iran for a series of secret ,top-level contact meetings. Jarrett is probably President Obama’s closest confident and advisor. From Obama’s very first political discussions and fundraising meetings, she was instrumental in his political rise. She has always been a close member of his inner group having hired Michelle Obama 1st into Chicago city government and then to be a vice president of the University of Chicago Hospital.

According to the WSJ and numerous US and Arab officials, Washington and Iran have been conducting secret discussions regarding mutual regional interests, and the fight against their common enemy, the Islamic State (IS or ISIS) terror group.

American officials told the WSJ that the Obama administration has passed messages to Tehran by using the offices of Iraq’s new Shiite prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, as well as Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, one of Shi’ite Islam’s most senior clerics. The WSJ also states that the Obama administration also has markedly softened its stance toward “Iran’s most important non-state allies,” namely, Hamas and Hezbollah.

The WSJ warns that this shift could drastically alter the balance of power in the region, alienating key US allies such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, who are central to the coalition fighting IS.WSJ also quotes US officials who say that de-emphasizing deterrence against Iran could be destabilizing, signaling to the Revolutionary Guard that America will not take steps to counter Iranian measures in the Middle East and in the international arena. These back channel, secret arrangements are also raising anxiety in Israel that the US is making a deal with Iran that would allow Iran to continue its nuclear weapons agenda." --Israpundit

THE TIME IS NOW: Deliver an Anti-Amnesty Message That Democrats Won't Soon Forget

By Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)

A nation’s first loyalty must be to its own citizens.

But the immigration policies of President Obama and Congressional Democrats help only billionaire special interests, amnesty activists, and the citizens of other countries – while reducing jobs and pay for our own.

Every single Senate Democrat voted for the Obama-backed plan to provide immediate work permits to 12 million illegal immigrants – allowing them to compete for any job in America. This legislation would also double the rate at which low-wage guest workers are brought into the U.S. to fill jobs throughout the economy. 

Further, the legislation would triple the rate of permanent immigration, giving lifetime work permits and citizenship to over 30 million immigrants over the next ten years.

Immigration lobbyists have so little regard for you, that they are meeting in secret with the White House right now to plan executive amnesty orders. These orders, planned for after the election, would implement by executive fiat the sweeping amnesty that was rejected by the Republican House.

America already has the world’s most generous immigration policy. The foreign-born population is at record levels, quadrupling since 1970. Since 2000, the U.S. has issued nearly 30 million lawful visas to foreign guest workers and permanent immigrants. During that time, all net employment gains among the working-age went to immigrant workers.

This large surplus of labor has also pulled down wages –family incomes are down more than $3,000 since 2009 alone.

Obama's Half-Hearted Airstrikes Mysteriously Fail To "Degrade And Destroy" Islamic State

By Investor's Business Daily

War On Terror: U.S. officials report that more than 1,000 foreign fighters are streaming into Syria each month as a United Nations report says that the terrorist influx has reached an "unprecedented scale."

According to the new U.N. report, a lot more terrorist boots are on the ground these days as an "unbelievably small" — to use Secretary of State John Kerry's phrase — air campaign, which has taken months to do what should have been done in a day, has failed to achieve the administration's proclaimed goal: to "degrade and destroy" the Islamic State.

More than 15,000 foreign fighters from as many as 80 countries have streamed into Syria and Iraq since 2010. The flow continues on "an unprecedented scale," according to the U.N. report, obtained by Britain's Guardian newspaper.

These fighters have come from such unlikely places as the Maldive Islands. The group's videos feature jihadists with Chilean, Norwegian and other backgrounds.

"There are instances of foreign terrorist fighters from France, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island operating together," the report notes.

An Islamic State video showed British hostage Alan Henning being beheaded by a fighter with a British accent. More than 500 British citizens are said to have traveled to the region since 2011.

The U.N. analysis dovetails with a report in the Washington Post that, according to U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials, more than a thousand foreign fighters are pouring into Syria each month, "a rate that has so far been unchanged by airstrikes against the Islamic State and efforts by other countries to stem the flow of departures."

SICKENING: Cuomo Appointee Behind Letters Threatening Democrat Voters in New York

By Rusty Weiss

Last week we reported on a letter that was sent out to over a million Democrat voters that not only shames party members into voting, but includes veiled threats that they better get out there … or else.

The letter states that “we will be reviewing” your “official voting records,” and ends with a rather sinister proclamation that “If you do not vote this year, we will be interested to hear why not.”

Fred Dicker at the New York Post reports that the letter was authored by Neal Kwatra, a Cuomo appointee.

Via the New York Post:

The menacing letter sent out to a million New York Democrats to bully them into voting was written by a top campaign strategist who was appointed by Gov. Cuomo himself, sources told The Post.

The revelation comes as a “circular firing squad” of finger-pointing has erupted over who is responsible for the letter, which was sent out last week by the New York State Democratic Committee and caused “panic” in the Cuomo camp, sources said.

...Neal Kwatra, appointed by Cuomo to be the state Democratic Party’s chief campaign strategist, was identified by two key Democratic insiders as the “author” of the mailer.

“It was the brainchild of Neal Kwatra,” said one of the insiders. “He wrote the letter and sent it out, and now other Cuomo people are trying to distance themselves from it.”

Kwatra wasn’t simply hired as a strategist for the Democrat Party in general New York state elections, but according to a Daily News article last April, he was brought in to aid Cuomo’s national image by giving him “a commanding victory in November.”

Another Daily News report indicates that while he will be paid by the state Democrat party, Kwatra “in reality” will “mostly be helping Cuomo with his campaign.”

QOTD: "At a recent hearing conducted by the Virginia legislature, federal Health and Human Services official Joanne Grossie told lawmakers that people shouldn’t view the cancellation of insurance policies due to Obamacare as losing insurance. It’s really an “invitation” to get another policy, Grossie said.

“If you got one of the notices that your policy was going to be discontinued because it didn’t adhere to the law, it meant that now you could go into the health insurance marketplace,” she said. “So, I just want to remind you that you weren’t losing insurance; you were just losing that insurance plan and were now being invited to go into the health insurance marketplace.”

...Your wages haven’t been stagnant thanks to President Obama’s economic policies. You’ve merely been “invited” to live an increasingly frugal lifestyle. You weren’t fired from your job. You were “invited” to look for other employment opportunities. Your spouse didn’t divorce you. You were merely “invited” to return to the single life." --The Oklahoman

Here's the entire article on Hagan-gate pulled by the Charlotte Observer - plus contact info for their executives

I'll let Legal Insurrection's Amy Miller set the stage.

American Commitment president Phil Kerpen recently caught The Charlotte Observer dumping an article laying out North Carolina Democrat Kay Hagan’s connection to potentially serious mishandling of stimulus funds.


Here's the entire article, no longer available at the Observer's site, but instead resurrected from the Google cache.

Memo: Grant given to company run by Sen. Hagan's husband needs 'legal review'

State officials say a stimulus grant given to a company run by Kay Hagan's husband needs "further legal review."

WBTV obtained a memo written by the Department of Energy and Natural Resources which includes a letter to the state's auditor from last month. The memo states that NCDENR is looking into potential conflict of interest claims involving Senator Kay Hagan.

NCDENR says they have reviewed grant records and found conflict of issue claims warranted further legal review. Kay Hagan's husband manages one of the companies in question, who received an energy efficiency grant money in 2010.

According to the NC Department of Energy and Natural Resources, the grant agreement included provisions prohibiting family members from receiving incentive payments, “these rules require, among other things, that no one with direct lineal relations may receive incentive payment. For example, the mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter or a contractor working in this Program cannot receive Awards, contracts and subcontracts.”

The federal Department of Energy Assistance grant agreement had similar regulations that included members of the immediate family, partners, or people who has a financial interest in the firm selected for the grant.

The $250,644 grant in question went to JDC Manufacturing LLC. JDC Manufacturing is managed by John Hagan, David Hagan, and Charles “Chip” Hagan.

Chip Hagan is Senator Kay Hagan's husband.

Grant records show that other companies controlled by the Hagan family received money through this grant.

The NCDENR says the grant was for an energy-efficiency project at the company's building in Reidsville, NC. Plastics Revolution was the tenant of that building and the president of that company is John Hagan.

JDC Manufacturing hired SolarDyne, LLC to do the solar portion of the project, but SolarDyne was allegedly not the lowest bidder and is now registered to the NC Secretary of State as Green Street Power, LLC, managed by Tilden Hagan, Chip Hagan, and William Stewart.

Another subcontractor for solar instillation is owned by William Stewart and lists Tilden Hagan as an employee.

NCDENR sen the grant to the State Auditor's Office and the State Budget and Management Office to be reviewed on October 21 because the grant involved state funds.

If the State Budget and Management Office finds a conflict of interest connection between the funds and Senator Hagan, the issue will be sent on to the Attorney General and the SBI.


Here's the contact information for the Charlotte Observer's august executive team.

While Obama golfs, campaigns, and blames others, ISIS quietly grows in nuclear-armed Pakistan

Pakistan's use of Islamic militancy as an instrument of its foreign policy, including knowingly playing host to Osama bin Laden, may now pose a looming threat to its own national security.

According to Pakistani sources, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is gaining strength in Pakistan. Altaf Hussain, the founder and leader of Muttahida Quami Movement, a Pakistani political party representing the Urdu-speaking community, said the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Al-Qaeda are merging with ISIS and may challenge Pakistan's integrity and stability.

Six prominent members of the Pakistan Taliban have turned their allegiance away from Afghan Taliban spiritual leader Mullah Omar to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Five regional Taliban commanders also affirmed their support for al-Baghdadi, who, in June, declared himself the Caliph of the Muslim world and ordered all Muslims to pledge their allegiance to him. Al-Baghdadi's success has been largely attributed to his ability to consolidate disparate militant factions into a single fighting force.

The October 23, 2014 killing of eight Shia Muslims in the southwestern city of Quetta suggests that ISIS may be having an influence on indigenous Sunni militants in Pakistan. Abdul Khaliq Hazara, leader of the Shia Hazara Muslim community said: "There are indications of ISIS seeking to expand its presence in Baluchistan. I suppose ISIS are [sic] looking to build up a support base here along the border with Iran, to add pressure on Iran from its eastern border [along Pakistan]."

A Virtuoso of Malicious Intent

By Caroline Glick

Since he assumed office nearly six years ago, US President Barack Hussein Obama has been dogged by allegations of managerial incompetence. Obama, his critics allege, had no managerial experience before he was elected. His lack of such experience, they claim, is reflected in what they see as his incompetent handling of the challenges of the presidency.

In everything from dealing with the Congress, to reining in radical ideologues at the IRS, to handling the chaos at the Mexican border, to putting together coordinated strategies for dealing with everything from Ebola to Islamic State (IS), Obama’s critics claim that he is out of his league. That he is incompetent.

But if Israel’s experience with him is any guide, then his critics are the ones who are out to sea. Because at least in his handling of US relations with the Jewish state, Obama has exhibited a mastery of the tools of the executive branch unmatched by most of his predecessors.

Obama is a master of mendacity, a virtuoso of malciousness. Consider two recent news stories.

First, in an article published in Comment: How the US first agreed and then refused to help locate a missing IDF soldier (10/17), terrorism analyst and investigative reporter Steven Emerson revealed how the highest echelons of the administration blocked the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office from assisting Israel in finding the remains of IDF soldier Oron Shaul.

Shaul was one of seven soldiers from the Golani Infantry Brigade killed July 20 when Hamas terrorists fired a rocket at their armored personnel carrier in Gaza’s Shejeia neighborhood.

As Emerson related, after stealing his remains, Hamas terrorists hacked into Shaul’s Facebook page and posted announcements that he was being held by Hamas.

NOW THEY MUST BE PUNISHED: On Tuesday We Issue the Eviction Notice For the Rancid Democrat Party

A registered Democrat, Michael Goodwin, just penned a stunning and powerful rebuke of the Obama Democrats that should be mandatory reading for every American.

We are witnessing the total collapse of a bad idea. Obamaism, a quasi-socialist commitment to a more powerful government at home and an abdication of American leadership around the world, is being exposed as a historic calamity. It is fueling domestic fear and global disorder and may well lead to a world war.

If there is a smidgen of a silver lining, it is that the unraveling, complete with Obama’s shameless attempts to duck responsibility, is playing out on the eve of the midterm elections. Fortunately, voters seem ready to respond by giving Republicans control of both houses of Congress.

I second that emotion, and not just because Obama is a failure. For all his narcissism, he didn’t make this mess alone.

He was aided and abetted by every Democrat in Congress. They marched in lockstep with his cockamamie policies, from ObamaCare to open borders. They protected corrupt leaders in numerous federal agencies, from the IRS to the Genera Services Administration. They stymied efforts to find the truth about Benghazi and the Fast and Furious gunrunning debacle.

They ceded their constitutional obligations and allowed Obama to crash the system of checks and balances. The vast majority stood silent while he gutted the military and abandoned our allies, including Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and courted Iran, the most menacing nation on Earth.
With painfully few exceptions, Democrats put their loyalty to him above their duty to America.

And now they must be punished. All of them.

Normally, I am not a partisan advocate. I am a registered Democrat, though I vote as an independent.

Not this year. This is a national emergency and the only responsible action is to vote Republican for every federal office.

On Tuesday, all Americans concerned with the future of this country should put a ballot boot in every Democrat's keister.

EXCLUSIVE: List of 134 Cities Where Violent, Criminal Illegal Aliens Were Sent After Release by Obama DHS

According to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement arm of DHS, 36,007 criminal illegal aliens were released into the United States in 2013. Responding to a request by Sen. Chuck Grassley, ICE recently provided a list of raw ZIP codes -- not cities and states -- where criminal illegals, many convicted of violent offenses including murder, rape and kidnapping, have been dumped by the administration.

I wrote a small script to convert the ZIPs into cities and states, the results of which are below. Please make sure that your families, friends, colleagues and other acquaintances are aware of these locations. Better safe than sorry.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg Wants a Government of the Oligarchs, by the Oligarchs and for the Oligarchs

When Barack Obama tells the American people that he has "a pen and a phone" and that he intends to use them to unilaterally rewrite federal statute, he's advocating dictatorship.

There is no greater predicate for governmental evil and tyranny than when legislative and executive powers are combined. As Georgetown professor Jonathan Turley wrote earlier this year:

James Madison fashioned a government of three bodies locked in a synchronous orbit by their countervailing powers. The system of separation of powers was not created to protect the authority of each branch for its own sake. Rather, it is the primary protection of individual rights because it prevents the concentration of power in any one branch. In this sense, Obama is not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system; he has become the very danger that separation of powers was designed to avoid.

Which brings me to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, a man who is actively attempting to destroy America's system of government.

SANTA MONICA, California -- FWD.us, the immigration reform initiative founded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, plans to launch a massive political push in December to support President Barack Obama's planned executive action on immigration. On Tuesday evening, it brought roughly 100 entrepreneurs to a "mini-hackathon" at tech incubator Cross Campus as part of a nationwide push to support the president's strategy.

Though FWD.us declares that its mission is "to advocate for policies that will make the American dream achievable in the 21st century economy," its main focus is immigration reform, which it describes as necessary both for economy growth and to "live up to our American ideals." The group includes tech heavyweights such as Microsoft's Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates; Google's Eric Schmidt; and former Napster founder Sean Parker.

Materials distributed at Tuesday's gathering, one in a series of monthly meetings, called for "[e]ncouraging the President to take meaningful executive action, both for undocumented immigrants and talented tech workers in need of visas." The FWD.us organizers refer to such executive action as "administrative relief," rather than "executive amnesty," the term favored by opponents of the president's anticipated unilateral effort.

Today's Democrats are the Real Religious Fanatics

How ****ing Stupid Does a Person Have to Be to Vote for Any Democrat in 2014?


Apologies for the redacted profanity.

So I'm driving back from the gym today thinking about the state of the Union.

It ain't good. My stomach is in knots.

The country is polarized. It has been beaten and molded, frightened and cowed, herded into separate camps by something called the Democrat Party, which is less a political entity than it is an idolatrous religion.

The Democrat Party has a single, fanatical goal: the destruction of America.

Consider this: can you name a single Democrat politician who has expressed a positive vision for the future of the country?

In order to rile up African-Americans, the Democrat clerics have created a completely false narrative in Ferguson, Missouri. A street thug who had just robbed a convenience store brutally attacks a police officer and is shot dead for his trouble. Had the cop been black or the same race as the perp, the clerics would have moved on, ignoring the crime and anxiously waited for the next incident to exploit.

In order to frighten females, the Democrat clerisy constructed a fallacious marketing campaign called the "War on Women". This bizarre fiction asserts that some Americans seek to ban contraceptives. I've searched high and low for these alleged individuals and have yet to find a single one.

In order to mobilize Latinos, the Democrat clergy has conspired with foreign governments in Central America and their front groups like La Raza (which literally means "The Master Race") to import millions of unvetted individuals into the U.S., the vast majority of whom are illiterate, poverty-stricken, in poor health, with unknown criminal backgrounds and who will become dependent upon American taxpayers for their sustenance. The Democrat religionists also seek to legalize 20 to 40 million similar individuals who have already penetrated America's porous borders.

In order to galvanize those concerned about the environment, the Democrat priests invented first global cooling, then global warming, then climate change, and -- most recently -- climate disruption. By ensuring that grants and other funding vehicles go only to those who toe the government line, dissenting voices are mocked, suppressed, censored, and tarred as "deniers".

In order to exploit Muslims, Democrat extremists create terms like "Islamophobia", conflating sober and rational fears of Jihadist attacks -- which occur all over the world, leaving bloody trails of headless corpses and horrifically abused women -- with irrational intolerance.

And what are the goals of these tactics? In Ferguson, riots and violence. For women, anxiety. For Latinos, fear of "nativism". For environmentalists, government control of industry.

In each instance, the Democrat religious fanatics seek to pit one group of Americans against another -- not to advance society, but to incite hatred and animosity. Ultimately, Democrats are motivated by only one goal: power.

The Democrat Party, which only 50 years ago was represented by a tax-cutting advocate for a strong national defense named John F. Kennedy, has become a religion of hatred.

How ****ing stupid does a person have to be to vote for any Democrat in 2014 -- at any level of government?

Anyone who votes on Tuesday for any Democrat is supporting a group of religious fanatics whose vile and unswerving goal is nothing less than the destruction of this country.

I have an APB out for Karl "WMD" Rove

Ever since the revelation that Karl Rove suppressed news of WMDs in Iraq at the height of the war, the mischievous little imp has been curiously missing from the airwaves.


Won't you please help us find this loser?

Not because we find him useful, but so that we know where he is at all times and can prevent him from further damaging this country.

HISTORIC: Eric Holder is the First Attorney General in History Who Actively Supports Vote Fraud

By Investor's Business Daily

Theft: As "calibration errors" switch votes in Illinois and Maryland, an election watchdog group sues the latter over massive voting by noncitizens in one county after discovering voters registered in multiple states.

The fact that many people will do anything to get out of jury duty has exposed massive fraudulent voting in Frederick County, Md., that may have been going on for years. Illegal aliens who stated they were noncitizens on jury duty forms were found to have cast votes in elections.

The Virginia Voters Alliance (VVA) cross-checked jury duty forms with individual voting records and found that hundreds of voters in that one Maryland county cast votes after reporting they were noncitizens. One in seven Maryland residents are noncitizens, so extrapolating the number of possibly illegal votes cast in recent elections over the entire state hints at possible election-changing fraud.

Maryland is one of many states that in the process of making it easier to vote has also made vote fraud easier to commit. Maryland both issues driver's licenses to illegal aliens and has a Motor Voter law that allows that license to be used to register and vote.

The VVA filed suit Friday in U.S. District Court in Maryland asserting that individuals who opted out of jury duty as noncitizens have been able to cast votes in at least three Maryland elections.

Still waiting for Hillary Clinton to apologize for her staunch defense of murderers and torturers

By Richard Poe

I CAN’T take it anymore. If one more person sends me that e-mail about Hillary and the Black Panthers, I’ll have to be dragged away screaming in a straitjacket.

You know the e-mail I’m talking about. It accuses Hillary of helping the Black Panthers get away with torture and murder during the early 1970s. With a presidential race drawing near, the spam mills are creaking to life, flooding the Internet once more with this agitprop classic.

Unfortunately, the e-mail mingles good information with bad, sowing more confusion than enlightenment. Some versions, for instance, carry the by-line of radio talk jock Paul Harvey, who says he did not write it. Such misrepresentations help Hillary defenders dismiss the e-mail as a hoax.

The story is no hoax, though. Its basic elements can be found in respected Hillary biographies and exposés such as Barbara Olson’s Hell to Pay; David Brock’s The Seduction of Hillary Rodham; Joyce Milton’s The First Partner; and Carl Limbacher’s Hillary’s Scheme.

Here are the facts.

In May 1969, fishermen discovered the body of Black Panther Alex Rackley floating in Connecticut’s Coginchaug River. Rackley’s captors had clubbed him, burned him with cigarettes, scalded him with boiling water and stabbed him with an ice pick before finally shooting him in the head.

New Haven detectives learned that the Panthers suspected Rackley of being a police informer. Panther enforcers had tied him to a chair and tortured him for hours. Police arrested eight Panthers and later extradited Panther leader Bobby Seale from California, after a witness accused Seale of ordering Rackley’s death. (1)

Campus radicals supported the Panthers. They organized mass protests in support of the so-called “New Haven Nine.” Hillary was right in the thick of it.

By the time she entered Yale Law School in 1969, Hillary was already a radical celebrity on campus. Life magazine had featured Hillary in a piece titled, “The Class of ’69,” which showcased three student activists whom Life’s editors deemed the best and brightest of the year. A line Hillary used in her Wellesley College commencement speech appeared under her photo: “Protest is an attempt to forge an identity.” (2)

At Yale, Hillary helped edit the Yale Review of Law and Social Action — a leftwing journal which promoted cop-killing and featured cartoons of pig-faced police. (3)
