BREAKING: WSJ and The New York Times Merge!

By Dan Friedman

Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Here’s a meeting of the minds for you. There is no daylight whatsoever between the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times when it comes to Donald Trump.

Both become apoplectic when they hear his name.

And neither has any problem taking a dive into the sewer when the occasion calls for it. You could call this cheap mudslinging, but it only has the consistency of mud and smells much worse.

ONE CHART: Conclusive Proof That Barack Obama is the Greatest Gun Salesman in the History of the World

Writing at The Trace, Adam Weinstein tells us something that we already knew: Barack Obama's unconstitutional gun control actions and rhetoric have spurred the greatest firearm buying frenzy in world history:

In the first five years of Barack Obama’s presidency, the number of guns manufactured in the United States soared astronomically, according to a new report released yesterday from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Another Day, Another Democrat Hack Spitting on the Constitution

By Karl Denninger

Nothing like flatly ignoring the Constitution's due process protections, right Malloy?

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy plans to sign the first executive order in the nation to ban the sales of guns to people on federal government watch lists.

"We intend to prevent, by executive order through my powers as governor, those on government watch lists from obtaining a permit to purchase a firearm in Connecticut," the Democratic governor said in a news conference Thursday.

That might pass muster if you'd been convicted of a crime.

JAYVEE NEWS: ISIS May Have Syrian Passport Printer

By Russ Reed

The Islamic State may have gotten a passport printer, and could be using it to send militants into the United States carrying Syrian passports that are by all appearances authentic, according to a Homeland Security intelligence report.

ISIS likely obtained an intact passport printer and “boxes of blank passports” from a Syrian passport office in Deir ez-Zour when it took the city last summer, the report, obtained by ABC News, states. The group’s de facto capital, Raqqa, also has a printing office according to the document.

THANKS, PAUL RYAN: New Spending Bill Funds Hundreds of Thousands of Aliens from Jihadi Regions

By Julia Hahn

As the government’s funding deadline approaches, Senior Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) warn that unless changes are made, “The omnibus [spending bill] would put the U.S. on a path to approve admission for hundreds of thousands of migrants from a broad range of countries with jihadists movements.”

As we near a vote on the year-end government funding bill, we believe it is essential that Congress take strong steps to restore the security and financial integrity of our immigration system. In recent months, we have seen immigrants in the United States implicated in terrorist activity hailing from countries including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Somalia, Sudan, Ghana and Saudi Arabia, to name a few. The risk is not limited to Syrian migration, but encompasses a wide-range of countries and the ever-present threat of post-entry radicalization.

MARK LEVIN: Constitutional Hulk

Our summer intern Biff Spackle appears to have been indulging in mushrooms.


5 Facts About Muslims In Europe

Writing at Pew Research, Conrad Hackett offers us five interesting data-points regarding the Muslim population in Europe. It is especially relevant today, given the mass migration of Libyan, Syrian and other Islamic refugees into Eurasia.

1. Germany and France have the largest Muslim populations among European Union member countries...

TRUMP IS RIGHT: No More Soft Targets

By Karl Denninger

Trump did what Trump always does when he gets the mic -- he said what he thinks.

The Donald called for an immediate halt to all Muslims coming to America -- as tourists, as refugees, as immigrants.

Not permanently, but for now, until we figure out exactly what we did wrong, how we can fix, and we fix it.

“Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” Trump said in a statement.

The reaction from the others in the race -- and Muslims -- was immediate and loud.  He was called racist, unhinged, divisive, dangerous, a demagogue and more.

GOOD NEWS: Obama has no response to Iranian Ballistic Missile Tests

By The Tower

Senators Kelly Ayotte (R – N.H.) and Mark Kirk (R – Ill.) expressed their concern on Tuesday regarding the White House’s lack of response to the two reported ballistic missile tests Iran carried out since the nuclear deal was announced.

In a letter sent to President Barack Obama, the senators wrote that “it is not clear” that the administration took any steps to confront Iran following the launch of a ballistic missile in October, and inquired about plans to address Iran’s latest test, reportedly carried out last month.

SHOCKA: San Bernardino Terrorists Have Ties To Radical Islamic Organization In New York

By Rusty Weiss

The terrorist couple from San Bernardino and their mother had stickers and certificates of appreciation for membership in the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) in New York, a group with known ties to terrorist organizations, and a group whose members and speakers have included Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical preacher who had significant ties with three of the 9/11 hijackers.

LA TIMES: Say, Trump Could Be Right

By David Mills

They didn’t come right out and say it, but they certainly implied it (emphases mine).

FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, began scheming to carry out a terror attack long before they were engaged and before she moved to the United States on a fiancee visa last year…

MARK LEVIN: Marco Rubio Now Resorting to Obama-style Alinsky Tactics to Attack Ted Cruz

By Mark R. Levin



Attorney, author, and radio host Mark R. Levin
I was among the first national radio hosts to support Marco Rubio in his uphill Republican primary campaign for the Senate against the unprincipled Florida Governor Charlie Crist.  Back then, he ran as an unabashed Tea Party conservative.  I also supported Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, among others, in their campaigns against the entrenched GOP establishment.  But soon after arriving in Washington, Rubio decided to throw in with these politicians – including John McCain and Lindsey Graham and take an active leadership role in the Gang of Eight fiasco.  As he runs for the Republican presidential nomination, Rubio has attempted to redefine his position on immigration yet again, resulting in his utter incoherence on the subject. 

Moreover, Rubio’s views on foreign policy are also more in line with McCain-Graham pseudo-conservativism.  It is a kind of naïve and radical interventionism, involving endless demands for American ground forces, that President Ronald Reagan would never have supported – and did not.  For example, Rubio’s support for the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, joining with Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and, of course, McCain and Graham, has not led to democracy.  Instead, Libya has become another extremely dangerous and growing stronghold for Islamic terrorists and a direct threat to our country.  “Democracy projects” have also led to the overthrow of the Shah of Iran during Jimmy Carter’s presidency, ushering in the current Islamic terrorist state that directly threatens America, as well as the more recent rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which was eventually ousted by the Egyptian military, and so forth.  Democracy requires more than an election.  It requires, first and foremost, a civil society.  I’ve talked about this a great length on my radio program.        

But my commentary here is not intended as a thorough analysis of immigration and foreign policies, which may come in a later essay.  This is a friendly warning to Marco Rubio and his campaign donors, advisers, and consultants that they cannot wash away some of Rubio’s less than stellar legislative actions and related positions and pronouncements by embracing and unleashing Saul Alinsky-type tactics against Ted Cruz or other conservatives.  Such unprincipled ambition has not and will not go unnoticed by conservatives.

WHO TOLD THEM TO STAND DOWN? Military Was Set to Launch Benghazi Counterattack Within 40 Minutes

Ironclad evidence that the Pentagon was prepared to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens and other diplomatic personnel in Benghazi, Libya has emerged.

The newly released email completely contradicts "the claim from Hillary [Clinton] and Leon Panetta that no forces were available and within reach to provide help to the compound that was under siege."

The billion dollar question remains: was it Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or Valerie Jarrett who gave the order to stand down?

The One Chart That Destroys the Democrats’ Apoplectic Gun-Grabs

Fascinating chart spotted over at Granite Grok:

Gun murder rates in states where people are heavily armed are much lower than the low gun ownership states.

The ten lowest gun ownership states average 3.9 gun murders per 10,000 people. The ten highest gun ownership states average about half that at 2.0 murders per 10,000 people.

OPEN BORDERS IDIOCY: Rubio, Ryan and Graham Coordinate Attack on Trump over Islamic Immigration

By Julia Hahn

The Speaker of the House and two presidential candidates—all of whom have supported amnesty and immigration expansions—are coming after GOP frontrunner Donald Trump following his declaration that the U.S. should pause Muslim migration into the United States.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. has issued green cards— i.e. permanent resettlement documents— to 1.5 million migrants from Muslim countries since 9/11.

The Most Frightening Thing About a Hillary Clinton Presidency

Rumors of Hillary Clinton's poor physical and mental condition have persisted for years.

Last month, State Department emails obtained by Judicial Watch revealed that Clinton's close personal aide Huma Abedin (who has well-documented ties to the terror group the Muslim Brotherhood) warned colleagues that Clinton's mental stability appeared to be deteriorating:

Abedin advised Clinton aide and frequent companion Monica Hanley that it was “very important” to go over phone calls with Clinton because the former Secretary of State was “often confused...”

EXCLUSIVE/BREAKING: First Look at the Obama Administration’s New Terrorism Alert System

According to DefenseOne, Prezident Obama's awesome homeland security apparatus will soon announce its new terrorism alert system.

The announcement comes just days after 14 innocents were slaughtered in California by two Islamist terrorists who had pledged allegiance to ISIS and about a month after an Islamist terror assault in Paris that left 130 civilians dead.

You may also recall that one of President Obama's first acts in 2008 was to eradicate a color-coded terrorism threat-level system that had been put in place after the 9/11 attacks.

In a scoop of epic proportions, however, we're pleased to announce that our summer intern, Biff Spackle, has secured the first copy of the new alert system:

BOOM: Major Clinton Donor Faces ‘Criminal Profiteering’ Charges

By Richard Pollock

Hansjorg Wyss, a prominent Clinton foundation donor and wealthy bankroller of liberal activist groups, will face charges of running a “criminal profiteering enterprise” through the illegal use of a drug and in violation of federal patient safety rules that resulted in the death of a 67-year old woman, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

Washington State Superior Court Judge Dean Lum agreed Oct. 30 that Wyss, a Swiss billionaire who has given more than $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, can stand trial under the state’s racketeering laws for leading a criminal enterprise that caused the death of Reba Golden. She died during an illegal drug test conducted by Wyss’s company in 2007.

The Washington suit charges Wyss, the former CEO of a Pennsylvania-based medical device company called Synthes and his co-defendants with murder in the second degree as a class A felony, second degree assault and criminal profiteering under the Washington Criminal Profiteering Act.

IRONCLAD: The Irrefutable Link Between Immigration and Terror

By Dan Cadman

Last month I refuted the argument put forward by some observers that women, children, and the aged ("widows and orphans" in the thoroughly disingenuous language of Obamaspeak) would be safe populations to admit as refugees.

On December 2, Tashfeen Malik, jihadi bride of Syed Rizwan Farook, proved conclusively false the notion that these subpopulations represent no threat. Malik did this by participating in a massacre with her husband in San Bernardino, Calif., that left 14 dead and many wounded.

While Malik entered on a fiancee visa, not as a refugee, the point to be made is the same: We cannot simply assume that because of age or gender, individuals have not been tainted by the belief system of violent Islamic extremism.
