REPULSIVE: Democrats Now Cast Terrorists as Victims
The notion that a rape victim deserved to be raped because she was wearing a tight outfit lights up all our red lights.
This is the case first and foremost because it absolves the rapist of responsibility for his crime.
We are also disgusted by attempts to blame the victim for her victimization because they are substantively false. If men are more likely to rape women in tight clothing then rape should be all but non-existent in traditional Islamic societies. Yet the opposite is the case. Rape and sexual abuse are endemic to such societies. According to the UN, a whopping 99.3 percent of Egyptian women report having suffered sexual abuse.
There is a third, more general reason that we recoil from the thought of blaming rape victims for their suffering. One of the foundations of liberal societies has always been that victims of aggression are not to blame for their attackers’ behavior.
Over the past few days, we have witnessed a dangerous erosion of this principle among American elites.
Last Sunday two Islamic terrorists armed with assault rifles tried to massacre participants at a Muhammed cartoon drawing contest in Garland, Texas.
The goal of the contest was self-evident. The organizers wished to defend the freedom of speech – and the right to life – of critics of Islamic totalitarianism.
Rather than standing with the contest’s organizers and participants, the US media from MSNBC to Fox News attacked Pamela Geller, the event’s main organizer and accused her of responsibility for the attack.
For its part, the White House has refused to condemn the attack.
Radical, Gun-Grabbing Extremists Seek Shut Down Of Local Illinois Gun Shops
A coalition of gun grabbers including Sarah Brady’s Handgun Control Inc., the Bloomberg Moms, and militant priest Michael Pfleger are intensifying their efforts to shut down lawful firearm retailers and abolish civilian firearm ownership across the United States.
The gun-grabbers plan to launch this latest campaign against your rights on Saturday, May 9, 2015 at Chuck’s Gun Shop, 14310 S Indiana Ave, Riverdale, IL.
It is very important that we get a maximum turn out of gun owners to be on hand to support Chuck’s and the right to keep and bear arms.
So, please try to be at Chuck’s to show you care about your rights. Saturday would also be a good time to help the shop out by making some sort of purchase.
If you’ve never been to one of these events, you are in for a treat. You’ll get to see firsthand the tactics of the antigunners. You’ll witness just how low they are willing to stoop to undermine your constitutional rights. You’ll hear the lies, the fabricated statistics, and the hysterical claims about how private firearm ownership is dooming mankind.
If Pfleger takes the stage you’ll certainly be entertained by his special brand of frothy-lipped lunacy. Few will forget Pfleger’s rant in front of Chucks several years ago when he called for the ISIS-style murders of gun shop owners and elected officials who support gun rights. Attendance at this event is a must for anyone who loves freedom. You cannot appreciate liberty until you look those who would deny you liberty right in the eye.

QOTD: "Elton Simpson, the first gunman, attended the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix. The mosque was listed as being controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood’s North American Islamic Trust front group.
The Muslim Brotherhood holds such controversial and provocative views as “waging Jihad” against American infidels, “raising a Jihadi generation that pursues death” and “destroying the Western civilization from within”. Despite these extremely provocative and intolerant views, the Muslim Brotherhood is usually described by the media as a “moderate” group.
The Brotherhood’s American arm believes in launching a “Grand Jihad” to Islamize America. Its final phase calls for “Seizing power to establish their Islamic Nation” in the United State.
Some might say this is a slightly more controversial activity than drawing cartoons of a dead warlord." --Daniel Greenfield

Your Department of Homeland Security at Work
DHS records describe Mexican government helicopters entering US, firing on Border Patrol
After having to fight for almost a year for the Obama administration to “come clean,” the top public-interest group in the United States that routinely investigates and exposes government corruption and cover-ups on Tuesday reported that it finally obtained documents from the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) directorate.
The files describe a shocking Southwest Border incident in which helicopters allegedly belonging to the government of Mexico flew across the border into the United States — Arizona — and opened fire on Border Patrol agents on American soil.
Chaser:
DHS Working Overtime to Add Illegal Aliens to Voting Rolls in Time For 2016 Election
Sources at the Department of Homeland Security report ... that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is reallocating significant resources to sending letters to all 9,000,000 green card holders urging them to naturalize prior to the 2016 election...
...Other DHS sources report that racial interest groups such as La Raza (translated to “The Race”) and the American Immigration Lawyers Association have been playing a central and influential role in rewriting the administration’s immigration policies — both the public policies as well as internal and largely unseen guidelines.
One DHS official who disagrees with the administration’s policies told me DHS “intends to ‘recapture’ ‘unused’ visas from years past to grant more visas and LPR [green card] status. In addition to this ‘visa blizzard,’ the agency will allow folks to jam in applications during the blizzard, knowing that the visa applicant/beneficiary is not eligible for the visa.”
This means that DHS is not only rushing green card holders toward citizenship before the next election, but also jamming previous visa holders toward green card status. These policies and priorities add to the brazen public positions of the president toward enforcing immigration laws.
If these lawless actions go unpunished, the diabolical evil that is the modern Democrat Party will have won.
And that must not stand.

GREAT WORK, OBAMA: Saudi Arabia Looking to Add Nuclear Weapons to Counter Iran
Well-informed sources who are close to this story tell me “the Saudis just straight up don't trust the Obama administration any more.” Oh, almost forgot. Did you hear the one about the Saudi airliner that landed in Israel (“for maintenance”)? See for yourself, it’s hilarious!

Saudi Arabia Considers Nuclear Weapons to Offset Iran
As a deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear program nears, Iran’s regional rivals feel vulnerable
By YAROSLAV TROFIMOV
RIYADH—The nuclear deal that the U.S. and other world powers hope to reach with Iran would put a 10-year curb on the Islamic republic’s nuclear program. For some of Iran’s regional rivals, that is also becoming a deadline for developing nuclear arms of their own.
In Saudi Arabia, there are widespread public calls to match Iran’s nuclear quest. The two other Middle East heavyweights, Turkey and Egypt, could also feel compelled to follow suit, senior Western and Arab officials warn.
Such an arms race would further destabilize what is already the world’s most volatile region, where the risks of a nuclear war would be compounded by the threat of radioactive material falling into the hands of terrorist groups.
Obama's policies would be worthy of a Monty Python skit were they not vectoring all of us toward an apocalyptic endgame.
A nuclear arms race in the Middle East?

QOTD: "Who circulated the [virulently antisemitc] flyer [attack Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen]? Surely, it was supporters of Donna Edwards, the African-American congresswoman who is running against Van Hollen for the Senate. It would be interesting to hear what Edwards has to say about this attack on her rival and a sitting Democratic (Jewish) Senator.
Anti-Israel rants by Black radicals are nothing new; nor is Black anti-Semitism. But injecting them into a Democratic primary campaign via a publicly circulated flyer suggests that the anti-Israel, anti-Semitic Black left has become emboldened." --Paul Mirengoff

Why Does the Left Get to Decide What’s Offensive?
The militant Islamists command us not to draw cartoons or any other kind of picture of the prophet Mohammed, and our Drive-By Media and Democrat Party readily agree, "Ain't no way that should happen! It offends them, and we shouldn't do it. And when anybody does, and they get shot at, it's their fault." To which I ask, "Well, now, wait a minute. The same militant Islamists who do not permit the drawing of pictures of the prophet Mohammed also do not permit homosexuality and do not permit gay marriage."
And we know what their attitudes toward women are.
Why don't we respect those? Can you imagine? If you turn on MSNBC, all you're gonna see, given the day -- maybe not every day, but the odds are, at least a portion of the day -- you're gonna see a total devotion to the concept of gay marriage. Isn't that insulting to the Muslims who would be watching? Would it not then be understandable if the Muslims watching take some kind of action against MSNBC for offending them?
They're not tolerant of gay marriage.
They're not tolerant of homosexuality, and you turn on MSNBC or CNN or any other Drive-By Media outlet and all you get is total support for it. Is that not offending our Muslim friends in the viewing audience? Why is there no concern for that? When people draw cartoons of "the prophet," it's, "Oh, Rush that's intolerable! You can't accept it. You gotta stop! Oh, my God, that's horrible!" But we can taunt them with gay marriage, and we can taunt them with women's rights and feminazism, and we can taunt them with homosexuality, and we are somehow not concerned about how that offends them?
My question is: Where do we draw the line on this?
TED CRUZ: The Blood of Millions Will Be on Obama’s head if this Insane Iran Deal Goes Forward
A complicit GOP establishment -- including "craven moron" Bob Corker and the mendacious malignancy known as Mitch McConnell are Obama's co-conspirators -- and have essentially ceded the Senate's Constitutionally authorized power to ratify any treaty signed by the Executive.
Ted Cruz -- reviled by the hacks in both parties -- is one of the few statesmen left in Congress willing to fight this insane abdication of sanity on the part of Obama and the GOP fogies. Tonight Cruz took to the Senate floor to rip Obama's deal and the GOP Establishment's support for it.
[Cruz told] his colleagues that the nuclear deal with Iran will lead to the deaths of "millions of Americans."
If President Barack Obama moves forward to provide sanctions relief to Iran as part of the deal, "the blood of the men and women and children who will be murdered by those terrorists will be directly on the hands of this administration," Cruz warned.
After being blocked from calling a vote on an amendment to the Iran bill to raise the threshold for congressional approval of the nuclear deal, Cruz accused senators of "abrogating our authority and responsibility."
..."This deal makes war a certainty," promised Cruz, a Republican contender for president in the 2016 election.
Anti-Free Speech Extremists at Southern Poverty Law Center Will Add an Artist to its "Hate Group" List
Gotta love Bosch Fawstin’s reaction to the SPLC: “Go for it.”
(Reuters) – For the cartoonist whose portrait of Mohammad won a Texas contest, the police killing of two gunmen outside the meeting place was justice.
“They came to kill us and died for it. Justice,” artist Bosch Fawstin tweeted on Monday.Fawstin’s winning entry depicts a sword-wielding Prophet in a turban shouting, “You can’t draw me.” In reply, a cartoon bubble portrays the artist, his hand grasping a pencil, as saying, “That’s why I draw you.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which includes AFDI on its annual list of U.S. hate groups, plans to add Fawstin to its 2016 report, Heidi Beirich, director of the tracking effort, told Reuters on Monday.
She said he would have been listed previously, but the center did not know Fawstin’s location. The organization has since learned that his website is registered in New York City.
“He’s like the artist of the movement,” Beirich said. “His views, they are hate views.” She said his website is “virulently ugly” in its anti-Muslim views.
LIBERAL MEDIA: The Fifth Column of Jihad
It’s strange that the liberals in the media who always complain about Joe McCarthy once having a list of communists in government are so quick to cite the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of so-called right-wing extremists or “haters.”
With the help of the media, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is setting people up for terrorist attacks inside the United States. Pamela Geller is the latest on the list of the SPLC that has now been targeted for death by the jihadists. ISIS says “…we will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter.”ISIS is angry that Geller, an opponent of jihad, has defended the First Amendment right of free speech against Islamic Sharia law.
In response, ISIS tried to massacre people at Geller’s Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas on Sunday. Two terrorists were killed and an unarmed security guard protecting the event was shot in the leg.
It’s an open secret that ISIS can get locations for its targets from the SPLC website. That’s how homosexual militant Floyd Corkins discovered the location of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. and showed up at its headquarters, opening fire on a security guard. He had hoped to conduct a massacre of FRC staff.

No, Glenn Beck is not down on Ted Cruz
Glenn Beck on Tuesday said he is still a “full-fledged” supporter of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, despite recent reports to the contrary. The confusion stems from a comment Beck made on his radio program Monday, where he said he wasn’t sure Cruz could govern if elected in 2016...
...“I would expect Cruz to lead in a different way if he were elected,” Beck explained. “He’d go to the people with a healthy dose of common sense and try to change things from the bottom up, rather than trading favors for the compromising of his values..."
...with the right leader, Beck said, the country could actually unite in the time of [another economic] crisis.
“I don’t know which way it’s going to go,” Beck admitted. “But it’s important that you have a constitutionalist at that moment to govern, because they’re going to have to reset this system. And are they going to reset it to the Constitution? Or are they going to look to a new system to reset it?”
Beck said it is Cruz’s steadfast refusal to cut deals that makes him the ideal president for the tumultuous times ahead.
Like Reagan, I believe Cruz has the rare ability to speak in simple, compelling terms directly to the American people. Not lobbyists, the people.
Cruz represents one of a rare breed: a Constitutional Conservative who has never backflipped on his principles and is a masterful communicator. He is despised by the old guard in both parties, because he represents the people, not the Beltway.

SMOKING GUN: New Documents Tie Obama and Senate Democrats Directly to the IRS Scandal
The entire article is worth reading, but the short version is as follows: Root was targeted for audit in 2011, disputed the findings in Tax Court, and won in 2012. Only five days later, Root was again targeted for a separate audit, an unprecedented step.
Judicial Watch took Root's case and after the traditional, illegal withholding of evidence for over a year, finally secured documentation of the audit. Stunningly, a "random audit of small businessman" was marked "SENSITIVE CASE" with no other explanation.
Written in the margin of Root's case files were IRS documentation of the taxpayer's political views; the agent "wrote on my file that he spent many hours on the Internet researching the political views of Wayne Root."
The Courts Must Finally Stop the EPA's Reckless and Wanton Destruction of the Coal Industry
It’s been said that ‘timing is everything’ and time is just one of the issues at stake in the legal proceedings surrounding the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed Clean Power Plan, which would regulate carbon emissions from existing power plants. Specifically, the Court must decide if a proposed federal regulation, like the CPP, can be struck down before it is finalized.
In this case, that would be the right decision.
Last month, attorneys on behalf of Murray Energy Corporation and a bipartisan coalition of 15 states argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit seeking to have the Court dismiss EPA’s plan. One of the arguments made by EPA is that the Court must not dismiss the rule because it is still tentative, could change, and the EPA could still “even withdraw the proposed rule”.
When it comes to the Clean Power Plan, however, the EPA is clearly talking out of both sides of its mouth. As EPA attorneys seek to convince the courts the proposed rule could be influenced or even withdrawn based on the feedback received in the public comment period, EPA officials are blatantly singing another tune.
Just one week prior to the oral arguments before the Court of Appeals, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy told an energy symposium, “[The Clean Power Plan] is going to happen. We have the legal – not just right and authority but responsibility – to do it.”
In March, McCarthy said, “EPA is going to regulate… If folks are thinking any of these pieces aren’t going to happen – and (the Clean Power Plan) isn’t going to be implemented, I think they need to look at the history of the Clean Air Act more carefully.”
These are hardly the words of an agency that is still making up its mind.
Fortunately, Judge Thomas Griffith seemed to pick up on this during oral arguments, asking the EPA if McCarthy’s remarks suggest that the agency’s comment period is a “sham.” While the EPA argued it wasn’t, the evidence certainly suggests otherwise.

QOTD: "Mayor Bill de Blasio has tried to be cautious when it comes to policing. He worries that a crime spike will produce an angry citywide reaction that would threaten his political career. But when it comes to welfare reform, the other great advance of the Giuliani/Bloomberg years, de Blasio shows no such caution. He has turned the city’s massive Human Resources Administration over to former Legal Aid Society attorney Steven Banks, a leading “welfare rights” advocate, whose principal contribution over the years has been to tie up the city in litigation."
...De Blasio can be more aggressively liberal on welfare because most New Yorkers are barely aware of the policies that reduced the welfare rolls from 1.1 million, when Giuliani took over from de Blasio mentor David Dinkins, to the current 350,000. Giuliani’s reforms, devoted to getting people back to work, were so successful that 75 percent of those placed into jobs remained off welfare a year later...
...Now de Blasio proposes to replace these proven successes with policies that have already failed in the past. Reviving the hoary notion that entry-level work represents “dead-end jobs,” de Blasio suggests that people on welfare are owed more than an opportunity to work. Job training and “seat time” in a classroom will displace the current system of “rapid placement” into a job. The newly created Mayor’s Office of Workforce Development proposes a vast new program of job training and enhanced “education,” on the theory that a new version of the old failure will reduce inequality in New York. --City Journal

Obama’s negotiating partners in Iran helping train children as young as eight to be terrorists
The Iranian-funded terror organization Hezbollah has begun recruiting children as young as eight to join the Mahdi Scouts, which prepares boys to become armed jihadists when they grow up. The scouts number some 50,000 members ranging in age from 8 to 18 and has branches in areas such as Beirut and south Lebanon, according to the Lebanese newspaper Al-Janubiya (Arabic link).
According to the Lebanese newspaper,
The Mahdi Scouts constitute a main element to the military body of Hezbollah, as the majority of the scouts’ members engage in jihadi work after the age of 16. At this age, the members get into their first military course called ‘combat literacy,’ in which teens recognize the principles knowledge of the weapon, and how to shoot at fixed targets.They then get intensive summer courses, and after two years, these youngsters graduate as experienced fighters in various types of weapons and are ready to get engaged in the bloodiest battles at the orders of the Secretary General of Hezbollah. All this is in preparation for the real battles when they reach adulthood.
Quoting “well-informed sources,” Shiite journalist Wissam Al Amin wrote last week:

The city of Baltimore received over $1.8 billion from President Barack Obama’s stimulus law, including $467.1 million to invest in education and $26.5 million for crime prevention.
President Obama claimed last Tuesday that if the Republican-controlled Congress would implement his policies to make “massive investments in urban communities,” they could “make a difference right now” in the city, currently in upheaval following the death of Freddie Gray.
