The Disqualification List For President

By Karl Denninger

If you vote for, support, donate to or otherwise have anything to do with these candidates you are a traitor to this nation and deserve to be stripped of your citizenship and deported to North Korea.

The list now includes:

  • Senator Lindsey Graham
  • Senator Rubio, who did not show up to vote.

Why?  Not just because they voted for or didn't show up on the Omnibus spending bill, which for all intents and purposes gives Democrats everything they wanted.

PURE EVIL: Chicago’s Property Tax-and-Graft Scheme Revealed

By Mike Shedlock

On October 28, the Chicago City Council passed the largest property-tax hike in modern city history by a vote of 36-14, approving Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s 2016 budget proposal.

Taxpayers will have to fork over another $588 million property-tax hike to be phased in over the next four years.

Some businesses and taxpayers will simply flee, joining what now is best viewed as the "Great Illinois Exodus".

Someone always benefits from these tax-and-spend schemes. Who is it?

IF YOU LIKE YOUR 401(k), YOU CAN KEEP YOUR 401(k): Obama Labor Dept. Sets Stage for Nationalizing Retirement Accounts

By David Mills

BUMPED: Not only did the GOPe/Democrat budget bill fund every one of Barack Obama's lawless actions, it also supported the Department of Labor's illegal, Soviet-style takeover of the retirement industry. The 401(k) takeover scheme is opposed by majorities of representatives on both sides of the aisle; and the failure of Paul Ryan to even defund this lawless land-grab speaks volumes about the sellout of America by the Uniparty. Cruz-Trump 2016.

In 2013, in a little-heralded case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected the Obama Labor Department's attempt to punish voluntary retirement plan service providers. The DOL, under the direction of the controversial, radical leftist Tom Perez, had tried to force providers of 401(k), 403(b), IRA, and related services to adopt a massive new set of regulations known as "fiduciary" responsibilities.

The Seventh Circuit slammed the door shut on Labor and the Supreme Court thereafter declined to hear the appeal, which meant that the Obama administration had lost in the highest court in the land.

Of course for the "most transparent administration ever", that step simply meant that the court's opinion was to be rejected and that Obama would use his infamous pen to rule by executive fiat. After all, the ends justify the means, correct?

CRIMINAL INTENT: Déjà vu all over again

By Jim Quinn

Janet Yellen increased interest rates for the first time in nine years this week. She isn’t raising them because the economy is strengthening. The economy just happens to be weakening rapidly, as global recession takes hold. The stock market is 3% lower than it was in December 2014, and has basically done nothing since the end of QE3. Wall Street is throwing a hissy fit to try and stop Janet from boosting rates by an inconsequential .25%. Janet would prefer not to raise rates, but the credibility and reputation of her bubble blowing machine is at stake. The Fed has enriched their Wall Street benefactors over the last six years, while destroying the real economy and the middle class.

The quarter point increase will be reversed in short order as soon as we experience market collapse part two. It will be followed with negative interest rates and QE4, as these academics have only one play in their playbook – print money. They created the last financial crisis and have set the stage for the next – even bigger collapse. John Hussman explains how their zero interest rate policy has driven speculators into junk bonds as the only place to get any yield.

"LOYALTY HAS BEEN REPAID WITH BETRAYAL" Jeff Sessions Slams Paul Ryan for Mocking American Workers

By Julia Hahn

While members of House Freedom Caucus are giving Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) a public pass on the omnibus, populist thought leader Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is weighing in strongly. Sessions, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, chided Ryan for making publicly false statements about the contents of the legislation— quoting from Ryan’s declarations during a Thursday appearance on Michael Medved’s radio show.

During the radio interview, Ryan dismissed what he described as the “hysteria” surrounding an immigration expansion tucked 700 pages into Ryan’s spending bill:

QOTD: "Read the comment sections on news stories about the [budget] deal and the general theme is “why did we bother to vote Republican?” The whole point of putting the GOP in charge of both houses was to reign in Obama and begin rolling back his excesses. Instead, we got the opposite. The Republicans have done more for Obama in six months than his own party did in six years.

Most people assume that smart politicians are on the right side of their voters. Stupid politicians go against the wishes of their voters.That makes sense as a practical matter. Scale it up and political parties should be careful to never get sideways with their constituents. Otherwise, the party has no reason to exist. The GOP is the Stupid Party because they keep finding ways to piss off their voters. It’s like they have a death wish.

In 2010 they put an emotionally disturbed drunk in charge of the House after the voters put them in charge. Boehner was a good soldier, but you can’t have your leader sobbing in public. In 2015 they finally had enough and replaced him with a Wisconsin Progressive, who has now declared war on the people who vote Republican. Frankly, calling them the Stupid Party is too kind. They are the Suicidal Party." --The Z Man

Meet the 28 GOP Senators Who Funded Sanctuary Cities, Importing ISIS, Abortion, and Welfare for Mexico

FIGURES: Paul Ryan Builds Security Fence Around His Mansion While Denying Americans a Border Fence

OUR GREATEST THREAT: Carbon Dioxide Or... Something Else?

By Richard Larsen

If we were aboard a sinking ship, and the captain boldly stated that to prevent submersion we must turn off the air conditioners, burn less oil, and start using squirrelly new-fangled light bulbs, it would be clear that the captain had truly lost his mind. President Obama’s fixation on climate change as the most pressing issue facing the nation whilst experiencing a global conflagration of Islamic extremist terrorism, should be seen no differently.

ISIS, contrary to the president’s assertion, is not “contained,” and is spreading throughout the Middle East, leaving a wake of beheadings, mass executions, and destruction. Terrorists sympathetic to jihad are striking globally, including 130 innocent victims slain in Paris two weeks ago, and now striking on our own soil in San Bernardino this week. Yet the president and his administration continue to appear impotent not only addressing the threats, but even acknowledging them for what they are.

Marco Rubio Has Some Swampland He’d Like to Sell You

By Jen Kuznicki

To hear the Rubio supporters tell it — unsurprisingly the same people who supported Romney and McCain and Cochran and McConnell and (insert list of Republican white beards here) — Ted Cruz opposed the Gang of Eight bill because there just wasn’t enough liberal policy in it.

Yes, the likes of Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Michael Bennet (D-C), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John S. McCain III (R-AZ), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) just couldn’t insert enough liberal, “open border” policy into the Gang of Eight bill, they needed Ted Cruz R-TX to show them the way.

CRUZ: Anyone else find it odd that Obama and Hillary support radical Islam while targeting law-abiding citizens?

By AWR Hawkins

During a post-debate interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on December 15, Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) described how political correctness prejudices President Obama and Hillary Clinton against law-abiding American citizens.

Cruz pointed to Obama and Clinton’s immediate reactions to the San Bernardino attack as proof, explaining that both of them reacted to initial attack reports by calling for more gun control on law-abiding citizens before the San Bernardino attackers had even been found or identified.

On December 2, Breitbart News reported that Obama called for more gun control while the San Bernardino shooters were still at large and Clinton called for more gun control via Twitter while the hunt for the gunman and gunwoman was still underway.

THE 10 TREASONS OF PAUL RYAN: GOP’s $1.1 Trillion Omnibus Spending Bill Funds Obama’s Entire, Lawless Agenda

And the liars in the Republican establishment wonder why the base is going to nuke them from orbit in the primaries? Stephen K. Bannon and Julia Hahn have the details of a sellout of almost unbelievable proportions. The 10 key takeaways to circulate far and wide are as follows:

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s first major legislative achievement is a total and complete sell-out of the American people masquerading as an appropriations bill.

Too harsh, you say? Let the programs, the spending, and the implications speak for themselves.

QOTD: "Islam never made it out of the Middle Ages until Western prosperity overflowed its cups and brought material wealth to the Arab world. Even so, Iraq is still a Medieval society equipped with satellite dishes and mobile phones. Their culture, economics and politics remain locked in the amber of a bygone age. Even their revolutionaries sound like extras from a B-movie about the Crusades.

That’s not just a reality we in the West accept. It is a reality that every Muslim from the Arab world faces and grapples with every day. The culture that produced him lost to the culture that confronts him. No one stands in line for the latest Muslim mobile phone. There is no Muslim Silicon Valley. The armies of Allah throw rocks at the space ships and lasers of the infidel. To be a Muslim is to be a loser.

That daily reality is in his pocket when he looks at his cell phone. It is on TV where all the actors wear Western clothes. It is in his house where his sister demands to wear makeup and live on her own, dating men outside the family. Even at mosque he is reminded that he is on the losing side of the fight. He rides a Western made bus or drives a Western made car. He texts his coreligionists on an iPhone, not a Mohammad Phone.

There is an argument that Islam is on the rise. As we see Muslims pouring into Europe and even America, the argument goes, Islam is like rising flood waters, about to wash away the West. That misses what’s happening at the roots of Muslim culture. Every one of those Muslims is on a journey that will end as it did for John the Savage in Brave New World ... Those Muslims on the road to Berlin can either abandon themselves and their identity in order to join their new world, or, they can embrace death. The self-detonation phenomenon is just a dramatic way of choosing the latter.

The thing is, both choices have the same implication, the death of Islam as an organizing philosophy." --The Z Man

Mark Levin Unloads on @BritHume and Charles @Krauthammer as @FoxNews @SpecialReport Continues to Lurch Left

As expected given the stellar debate performances of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, the panicked "analysts" at the Fox News channel locked arms with the Chamber of Commerce tonight to air an infomercial for Marco Rubio.

The Special Report panel this evening featured a trio of open-borders, pro-Amnesty establishment apologists who appeared to have donned matching "Vote for Marco" T-shirts (their "Vote for ¡Jeb!" tees having quietly been donated to Goodwill).

Perhaps these rocket scientists might consider why the Fox Business Channel is now the fastest growing cable channel in the U.S. (hint: Lou Dobbs is a rock-ribbed conservative, for starters).

The invaluable Mark Levin let FNC have it tonight and Breitbart's Jeff Poor was on the case:

GOOD NEWS: Jeb Bush Is Thinking of Sabotaging the GOP

By Sara Noble

Ironically, Jeb Bush might be the one to blow up the Republican party. It’s been on life support under Barack Obama anyway, why not commit suicide?

A Politico article on Wednesday has the Establishment cheer-to-the-throne Jeb Bush considering blowing up the Republican party and doing what they’ve been accusing Donald Trump of planning. If Trump is the candidate, Bush might not support him.

He’s going to break his pledge. If he does that publicly, it’s a character flaw.

TERROR PLOT IN MISSOURI: What the Hell is Going On?

By Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

It’s been an interesting few weeks in The Show Me state of Missouri. Events there have not left anyone feeling as safe and secure as Obama keeps claiming they should be from his podium. Quite the opposite. Things in the US are getting really interesting these days in a bad way. First we had the Jihadist killings in San Bernardino by the Bonnie and Clyde of terrorism. On Syred Farook’s phone were pictures of at least 11 schools. Then this morning, the LA School District was evacuated. Over 700,000 students were sent home and 900 schools are being searched from top to bottom today because of an overseas terrorism threat sent to a school board member. That must have been one doozie of a threat. We are a little light on those details, but it evidently involved at least three schools and an unspecified number of students. Welcome to the new America.

"How's your leg?" Joseph asked after introducing himself.

"What leg?" the cable news pundit responded.

"The leg. Is the 'thrill' still there?" Joseph asked.

Mathews, understanding that he was being punked, responded, "You can go to hell. Just go to hell, will you? Just leave me alone."" --T. Becket Adams

BUMMER: A Third of Hezbollah’s Fighters Have Been Killed or Maimed Backing Assad in Syria

By The Tower

As much as one third of Hezbollah’s fighting force has been killed or injured fighting in defense of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Avi Issacharoff reported Tuesday in The Times of Israel.

According to Issacharoff, Israeli sources estimate that between 1,300 to 1,500 members of the Iran-backed terrorist group have been killed in Syria, while an additional 5,000 have been injured. The surging casualty count has forced Hezbollah to deviate from past policy and release details on its losses.
