SERIES OF NEW BOOKS CONFIRM: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Gave Birth to ISIS

Writing at Bloomberg (the news site, not the deranged, fascist ex-mayor), Tobin Harshaw reviews several new books that describe the rise of ISIS:

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi... would eventually become the most feared man in the Middle East ... In the insurrection after the toppling of Saddam Hussein, Zarqawi's al-Qaeda in Iraq announced itself to the world by blowing up the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad. Attacks on mosques in Baghdad, Karbala and Samarra inflamed sectarian tensions between Shiites and Sunnis. Video of his personal beheading of the American businessman Nick Berg in 2004 became a global viral hit, and the U.S. put out a $25 million bounty. He took to calling himself "sheikh of the slaughterers."

OBAMA’S IRAN DEAL: The World’s Most Dangerous Hoax

By Roger Aronoff

The mainstream media blindly championed the Iranian deal at the expense of reason, celebrating its “signing” and every prospective step for implementation. But the not-so-surprising revelation is that there is, in fact, no Iran deal. There are just a number of political commitments made by each of the so-called P5+1 countries, in the hope that Iran will somehow reform itself.

Iran, on the other hand, seems barely, if at all, committed to the non-agreement. Rather, it is poised to receive international sanctions relief while continuing on its belligerent course.

GREAT NEWS: Crime-Free, Gun-Free Illinois Beta-Testing Gun Confiscation Law, Overriding Second Amendment!

Three Chicago-area Democrat state legislators have introduced a resolution petitioning the Supreme Court to overturn its Heller ruling, which found that the Second Amendment (like the rest of the Bill of Rights) applies to individuals, not some collective.

Representatives Emanuel Welch, Pamela Reaves-Harris, and Jaime Andrade, Jr. are behind the resolution and claim that Chicago's epidemic of gun violence is due to insufficient gun control laws, claiming that "The Heller decision and other pro-firearm industry court rulings have resulted in a proliferation of guns in numerous communities and have diminished the security and freedom of our citizens to enjoy a life free of gun violence.”

The representatives fail to explain how Chicago, which historically has the most restrictive gun laws in the United States, has seen more than 2,000 people shot in 2015 alone, almost all of the violence gang- and drug-related shootings. The resolution, which reads as though it was crafted by an enemy of America, reads as follows:

SEEMS FAIR: EPA Sends 185 to Prison for "Environmental Crimes" as its Own Toxic Spills Go Unpunished

By Michael Bastasch

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforcers helped convict 185 Americans of environmental crimes this year, with each of these eco-convicts getting sentenced to eight months in prison on average for crimes ranging from biofuel fraud to illegally removing asbestos.

EPA enforcement data for 2015 shows the agency opened 213 environmental cases which resulted in 185 people convicted and sentenced to 129 years in prison. EPA has been opening fewer cases in recent years to focus more on “high impact” cases.

These Are The Most Persecuted People in the World

By Bill Warner

The most persecuted group in the world today is Christians. Christians in Nigeria, Egypt, Syria and other nations are murdered, raped, kidnapped, enslaved and persecuted on a daily basis. The reason for the vast majority of all of this violence is that they are Christians among Muslims.

But their abuse does not stop with the violence. The perpetrators of violence are measured in the thousands, but the greatest abuse is at the hands of those who should demand that the violence stop. The silence in the face this persecution is denial and justification. The persecutors are few, but the deniers are in the billions.

MISUNDERSTANDERERS OF ISLAM: Israel Will Be A “Graveyard” For Jews

By The Tower

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, threatened to invade Israel and massacre Jews, The Times of Israel reported on Saturday.

ISIS forces are “coming closer” and will “soon meet [the Jews] in Palestine,” al-Baghdadi declared in an audio recording released online. “Israel will pay a heavy price at the hands of our fighters.”

GEORGE WILL AND CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Don’t You Get It? You Fools Helped Create Donald Trump!

Longtime "conservative" columnists George Will and Charles Krauthammer are apoplectic about the possibility that Donald Trump may become the Republican Party's nominee for President.

Will's recent temper tantrum in print implied that the establishment should consider support for Hillary Clinton and asserted that the GOP may splinter because the party leadership didn't get its way.

Similarly, Krauthammer has been a constant critic of Trump's run, calling him a "rodeo clown" and "deeply bigoted" for his proposal to suspend Muslim immigration* until the San Bernardino terror attack can be deconstructed.

The 10 Dumbest Gun Control Political Cartoons of 2015

Perhaps not just 2015. Maybe the dumbest of all times.

Say, you mean stricter gun control laws will stop terrorism? No one tell the 300+ victims of the terror attack in Paris, where civilian ownership of guns is prohibited.

Christmas On The Cross

By Robert Spencer

At Christmas 2015, we are victims of the enemy we have welcomed in our home.

Amel Shimoun Nona saw all this coming, and now it is upon us.

Amel Shimoun Nona is the Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of Mosul. When the Islamic State captured northern Iraq, it drove 30,000 Christians from the Nineveh plain where they had lived since not long after the time of Christ. In August 2014, Nona predicted that the same thing would happen to Christians in the West: “Our sufferings today,” he said, “are the prelude of those you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future.” And now, as the few remaining Christians in the Middle East prepare to celebrate Christmas and hope that Muslims won’t murder them for doing so, that future is now.

SPLITTERS HARDEST HIT: Rubio, Bush, and Christie Vie to be the Pro-Amnesty GOPe Candidate

According to Politico, Marco Rubio has a "Chris Christie Problem."

Jeb Bush, sadly, also has a "Chris Christie Problem."

Oh. One other thing. Mr. Rubio -- the youngest and most attractive of the open borders, Chamber of Commerce, GOP establishment posse -- has been forced to reassure his donors that his flagging campaign is still on track.

Here's a helpful hint: it's not.

TWISTED: The Moral Inversion of WaPo Cartoonist @AnnTalnaes

By now, only six people in the United States are unaware of the Washington Post's latest clowntastic screwup, in which a "political" "cartoonist" named Ann Talnaes depicted Senator Ted Cruz's five- and seven-year old daughters as monkeys.


But T. Becket Adams had the best response:

WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP? I'm a single tweet away from 700 retweets on my latest Granny Catlady meme

Brother, can you spare a tweet*?


Interesting side-note: it appears that Her Royal Catlady once supported racially profiling Muslims and even restricting immigration. To be fair, though, she thought this particular video had only been stored on her email server.

* Special thanks to Hollywood legends Adam Baldwin and James Woods.

HILLARY AND THE U.N.: Your 2016 Democrat Running Mates

By Anne Bayefsky

Islamic activists say 9/11 and San Bernardino were terrible — because of their effects on Muslims.

Over at the United Nations, they are laying the groundwork for the 2016 American presidential election — on behalf of the Democratic party. The perceived golden ticket? Playing the victim card. Wild and repeated accusations are being hurled against the GOP of systematic racism, xenophobia, and, in particular, “Islamophobia.”

On December 18, 2015, the U.N. hosted two panels under the title “The Changing Dynamics of Islamophobia and Its Implications on Peaceful and Inclusive Societies.”

The predominant theme was victimhood. There were frequent mentions of 9/11, but not of the 2,977 who died, or their families. The alleged victims of 9/11 of interest to the U.N. gathering were the entirety of American Muslims.

ISIS, ISIL AND DAESH: The Administration’s Words Matter

By Richard Larsen

Last week President Obama addressed the nation in a rare Oval Office speech. The intent was to assuage concerns that the government isn’t doing enough to protect us from radicalized jihadists, like the couple in San Bernardino last week. But the speech may have raised more questions and apprehensions than provided answers or assurances. And perhaps the largest is in the language used to describe the threat.

The speech made reference to ISIL sixteen times. This is itself significant. ISIL is one of the retired acronyms the organization that prefers to be referred to as the Islamic State has used. The original acronym they employed was ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIL, however, has much more broad regional significance, for it stands for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

THE RUBIO UNLIMITED MUSLIM IMMIGRATION BILL: Are Establishment Republicans Fools or Traitors?

By Lawrence Sellin

Senate bill 153, the Immigration Innovation Act (or I-Squared), led by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), would allow for virtually unlimited Muslim immigration into the United States. Several of Rubio's most prominent financial backers are among the bill's boosters. Rubio's campaign theme, "A New American Century," employs a euphemism commonly used to describe demographic transformation of the United States brought about by immigration.

A recent Pew Research report found that "nearly all Muslims in Afghanistan (99%) and most in Iraq (91%) and Pakistan (84%) support sharia law as official law."

Yet in the last five years, the U.S. has issued 83,000 green cards to Pakistan, 83,000 green cards to Iraq and 11,000 green cards to Afghanistan.

Are the GOP Elites Starting to Get the Picture Now?

By Sara Noble

Ted Cruz just soared in the latest national poll to a statistical tie with Donald Trump according to a new Quinnipiac national poll. Many are starting to see Cruz as the moderate version of Donald Trump, but also as someone who can radically reverse the damage from seven years of Obama and years of GOP apathy and elitism.

It’s interesting that this poll followed the cromnibus vote. Cruz came out quickly and strongly against it.

WE’RE IN THE VERY BEST OF HANDS: No, Really, This Just Happened Edition

Ever get the feeling that Obama just doesn't care any more? That he's mailing it in?

Yeah, me three.

WHITE HOUSE: Congressional Crackdown on Terrorists Attempting to Enter U.S. Will "Violate Iran Deal"

Just when you thought the Obama administration had maxed out the Insane-o-Meter, it pulls another rabid killer rabbit out of its hat. An incredulous Adam Kredo reports:

Senior Obama administration officials are expressing concern that congressional attempts to tighten laws preventing terrorists from entering the United States could violate the Iran nuclear agreement and prompt Tehran to walk away from the agreement.

NOT SHOCKING, LITERALLY: Obama’s Iranian Partners in Peace Trying to Bring Down U.S. Electric Grid

By The Tower

Iranian cyber-attackers have been targeting the U.S. electrical grid’s networks and stealing highly sensitive data, an Associated Press investigation revealed on Monday.

Brian Wallace, a researcher at the cyber-security firm Cylance, discovered that critical files from Calpine Corporation, which operates 82 power plants in 18 states and Canada, were stolen in a breach that began around August 2013 and may be ongoing. The information in those files included passwords, diagrams, and sensitive engineering designs of power plants, at least one of which was marked “Mission Critical.” After analyzing circumstantial evidence, investigators concluded that the data was compromised by Iranian hackers.

EX-OBAMA DEFENSE SECRETARY: White House Tried to "Destroy Me"

By The Tower

In a shocking interview in Foreign Policy Magazine, former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel accused White House officials of trying to “destroy” him personally in his last days in office. The comments have sent a stream of commentary across Washington and suggest a further erosion of the President’s legacy on foreign policy.

Hagel resigned in late 2014 after he took issue with the administration’s decision-making process, and especially President Obama’s decision not to punish Syria for its use of chemical weapons, ordering the military to stand down on August 30, 2013. This came in the wake of the President’s declaration that the use of chemical weapons would be a “red line.” In Hagel’s view, he told Foreign Policy, “A president’s word is a big thing, and when the president says things, that’s a big deal.” Hagel’s critique of the decision-making process was covered in an earlier post.
