GOOD NEWS: Marco Rubio Now Openly Campaigning in Favor of Obama-Schumer Amnesty Bill

By Julia Hahn

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is reaffirming his support for part of his 2013 Gang of Eight bill by touting its alleged security provisions.

“I continue to support and have supported and sponsored the largest border surge in American history,” Rubio told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos– referring to the security provisions crafted by him, Chuck Schumer, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) in the Gang of Eight bill. Rubio repeated the Gang of Eight’s talking points, declaring that his 2013 proposal would provide “20,000 new border agents, 700 miles of fencing and walls, a mandatory e-verify system, entry-exit tracking system to prevent visa overstays.”

What Rubio failed to mention about the Obama-backed proposal is that it provided an instantaneous amnesty for illegal immigrants, a fact he himself admitted at the time during a Spanish-language interview with Univision.

QOTD: "Is Trump "conservative"? Peggy Noonan:

Mr. Trump's supporters don't care if he's classically conservative. Doctrinal purity is not the story this year.

If the national GOP is a vehicle for ensuring that John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan have a car and driver and a Gulf emir-sized retinue, then it's very effective. If it's a vehicle for advancing conservative principles, then it's a rusted-up lemon on cinder blocks. At an event with Newt Gingrich about a decade ago, one of my neighbors asked why the Republicans were so ineffectual. Newt said it was because they're still getting used to being the majority party. Somebody responded, "So the Iraqis are supposed to get the hang of self-government after six months, but the Republican Party still can't manage it after ten years?"

For many conservative voters, 2014 was the GOP's last chance, and they blew it. For those conservative voters whose priority is immigration, 2016 is America's last chance, and Trump's the only reason anyone's even talking about that." --Mark Steyn

WHAT THEY’RE HIDING FROM YOU: Trump 'Silent Protester' Is a Supporter Of Islamic Terrorism

By Mac Slavo

There have been widespread calls for Presidential front runner Donald Trump to issue an apology to Rose Hamid. You’ll recall that Hamid was the woman who silently protested a Trump campaign stop before being ejected from the event by security.

But as has often been the case with political plants at Republican events, the public was only given part of the story.

EVIL DECEPTION: Muslims Wearing Yellow Stars

By Daniel Greenfield

Muslim appropriation of Jewish suffering is obnoxious to begin with, but the bizarre habit of Muslims wearing yellow stars has been condemned by even liberal Jewish groups. It's insanely and gratuitously offensive.

Let's start with the simple fact that the yellow star had its origins in a Dhimmi badge imposed on Jews by Muslims as symbols of their inferiority under Muslim rule. Long before Nazism, the use of yellow badges and other yellow distinguishing clothes was imposed on Jews by Muslims over a thousand years ago.

QOTD: "In America, Obama pulled in over 70 per cent of the vote among unmarried women. The pattern is the same in Europe. I wonder how many of these women attacked in Cologne took part in #RefugeesWelcome and #BlackLivesMatter virtue signalling on social media. Young women, decoupled from their natural role as wife and mother, overwhelmingly vote left, and this is the result: looters crawling over a barren and decaying civilisation as it takes its last gasps of air...

...Even now, with roving immigrant rape gangs looting their way across European cities with impunity, women are adamant that they should not have to change their behaviour. It has become a sacred cow of the modern West that women should be able to do whatever they want and live free of any consequences. Women want to dress promiscuously in culturally enriched city centres, and they also insist any and all desert tribesmen should be welcomed into our nations. You can’t indulge these conflicting ideologies simultaneously without serious consequences. We warned them about this and they called us fascists for it. If you’ve done the time anyway maybe you should do the crime." --The Iron Legion

THE TET OFFENSIVE: European Union Edition

By Matt Bracken

More than a decade ago I wrote my first novel, Enemies Foreign and Domestic. Part of my motivation was to establish my bona fides at forecasting social, political and military trends. I didn’t like the direction America was heading, and I wanted to warn as many readers as possible about some of the dangers I saw coming. At the end of 2015, I hope that my past success at prognostication will encourage people to pay heed to this essay.

As we roll into the New Year, we are witnessing the prelude to the culmination of a titanic struggle between three great actors. Three great social forces are now set in motion for a 2016 showdown and collision that will, in historical terms, be on par with the First and Second World Wars.

IMMIGRATION: "A defining issue for American conservatism"

By Julia Hahn

In a Friday Bloomberg op-ed, Ramesh Ponnuru details how “immigration is rapidly becoming a defining issue for American conservatism.” Ponnuru suggests that this may prove problematic for donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who supports immigration expansions—which Pew Research says are opposed by more than 9 in 10 GOP voters.

Just as conservative candidates for President cannot be selected if they support abortion, Obamacare or gun control, Ponnuru explains that the new litmus test of conservatism is immigration. “Conservatives are now starting to see a candidate’s position on immigration as an index of his conservatism in general,” Ponnuru writes.

Dumbest Tweet of the Week, Month and/or Year

Earlier today, a Philadelphia police officer was shot a dozen times* by a man wearing Islamic garb, who was screaming Islamic epithets, while claiming he was simply following the dictates of Islamic law. Philadelphia's mayor (a Democrat, no doubt) indicated that he has no idea what the Islamonazi's motive might have been:

STICK A FORK IN HILLARY: She’s Done. P.S., Feel the Bern?

The Clintons have managed to escape a long list of high crimes and misdemeanors on their road to becoming billionaires as "public servants".

Selling military missile technology to Red China in exchange for campaign donations. Trading rights to nuclear weapons material to Russia for massive contributions to their personal and "Foundation" bank accounts.

Turning $1,000 into over $100,000 in less than a year "trading cattle futures".

Mr. Clinton having allegedly abused, raped or fondled more than a dozen women while his wife dealt with all of the various "bimbo eruptions" through intimidation and other means.

But when clear evidence of a felony emerges -- with written evidence provided by Hillary Clinton herself -- while an FBI investigation is ongoing, the piper must be paid.

AXIS OF STUPIDITY: Analysts Say White House Siding With Iran Against Saudi Arabia in Growing Conflict

By The Tower

In the wake of this weekend’s escalation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, Washington seems to be increasingly favoring Tehran over Riyadh, Josh Rogin and Eli Lake reported for Bloomberg View on Monday.

After Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr was executed in Saudi Arabia on terrorism-related charges on Saturday, Rogin and Lake wrote that the State Department expressed concern that the Saudis were “exacerbating sectarian tensions.” Secretary of State John Kerry called Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif soon afterwards– before contacting his Saudi counterpart– and asked him to help calm things down. Later, State Department spokesman John Kirby seemed to contest the Saudis’ claims that the Iranian regime was culpable for the embassy attack by saying that Iran had arrested some of those involved (the Saudis claim that after being informed of the threat of assault on the embassy, Iran waited more than 12 hours before sending security to protect the besieged diplomats).

"THERE IS NO WAY THAT THEY WALK AWAY FROM THIS": Hillary Will Be Indicted Says Former U.S. Attorney

By Mark Tapscott

A former U.S. Attorney predicts a Watergate-style showdown in the Department of Justice if Attorney General Loretta Lynch overrules a potential FBI recommendation to indict Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“The [FBI] has so much information about criminal conduct by her and her staff that there is no way that they walk away from this,” Joseph diGenova, formerly the District of Columbia’s U.S. Attorney, told Laura Ingraham in a Tuesday radio interview. “They are going to make a recommendation that people be charged and then Loretta Lynch is going to have the decision of a lifetime.

QOTD: "Wiping away tears that eluded him when he spoke about the jihadist massacres in Paris and San Bernardino, President Obama condemned congressional inaction in the face of gun violence during remarks he delivered from the East Room of the White House on Tuesday morning. The president vowed to fill in the void through executive action. The most egregious of these measures is a wholesale re-writing of the definition of what constitutes a “seller” in order to extend the reach of federal government control over all gun owners. Obama listed this as his top priority action, ahead of what he described as “smart and effective enforcement of gun safety laws that are already on the books.”

...His first priority – to require anyone the Obama administration deems to be “in the business of selling firearms” to “get a license and conduct background checks”- is an invitation to further abuse of power. According to a report in the New York Times, White House officials have said that someone selling even one or two guns could be considered in the business of selling firearms and subject to the new requirements. How would a barter arrangement instead of a cash transaction be treated?

President Obama should save his tears for the victims of global jihad, including those Americans killed in such places as Fort Hood, Boston, Seattle, Chattanooga and San Bernardino. If he wants his final year in office to show any accomplishments, he should go after ISIS, al Qaeda and other jihadist groups who mean to do us harm with the “fierce urgency of now” that he reserving for his gun control agenda. The president’s drive to release more and more jihadists from Guantanamo, some of whom have returned to battle against us, demonstrates his “fierce urgency” in the opposite direction." --Joseph Klein

This is why progressives never stop trying to destroy the Second Amendment

By Liston Matthews

The recent massacres in Oregon and California bring home again the realization that misused power yields tragic results.

In Oregon, college officials exercising their power, had instituted a no-guns policy, including disarming their security personnel. In California, most citizens are disarmed by the absence of shall-issue handgun carry laws.

The result, in those cases, was the ability of the perpetrators to be reasonably sure they would be operating in a so-called gun free zone.

QOTD: "...here’s what just happened that Obama won’t brag about to the media; the ATF just eliminated chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) sign off from the NFA process, making it easier to acquire silencers, machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and items classified as “any other weapon.” CLEO sign-off has been a major impediment in many states where owning NFA weapons is perfectly legal, but anti-gun sheriffs and police chiefs have been able to block their citizens from obtaining NFA items by simply refusing to sign-off on their acquiring items that they were otherwise qualified to own.

This arbitrary roadblock has now been eliminated.

While there is still much to be figured out in the days to come, it appears that Obama has eliminated most of the need for NFA trusts for most people, and it should actually be easier to acquire machine guns and silencers for more people across the country.

Thanks, Barack. you screwed up and did something right." --Bob Owens

By Clare M. Lopez

The entire debate about what it means to be "Muslim" and shariah-compliant might be solved with a quick lesson in Arabic grammar.

This is because the word "Muslim" contains in its Arabic meaning its own definition.

You see, the word "Muslim" in Arabic has two parts: the "Mu" prefix and the triliteral root that forms the word "Islam." That root word, "Islam," is a verbal noun that means "submission." When an "Mu" prefix is attached to such a root in Arabic, the resulting noun means "a person who does the thing that root word denotes."
