GOOD NEWS: Apple Buys Technology That Uses Your Phone’s Camera to Gauge Emotional Response to Ads

When a company like Apple purchases a startup specializing in artificial intelligence, one sits up and takes notice.

Such a purchase was announced this week, with the venerable computer manufacturer purchasing Emotient. The startup, founded in 2012, specializes in mapping facial characteristics to emotions to help marketers better understand consumer reactions to engagements.

Given the iPhone’s camera, the possibilities seem endless:

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

What Does the Word 'Muslim' Mean?

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."

UNEXPECTEDLY: Germany in Shock as 1,000 Suspected "Refugees" Rob, Attack, or Rape 100 Women

By Tyler Durden

Yesterday, we were shocked to learn that as German anger boils over at the country's unprecedented refugee wave, one or more so far unknown assailants fired shots through the window at a home for asylum seekers in western Germany injuring one resident as he was sleeping.

As AP noted it wasn't immediately clear who was responsible for the incident or what the motive was. However, Darmstadt prosecutors' spokeswoman Nina Reininger told news agency dpa: "If someone shoots at housing which has people inside, I assume that it is a targeted attack."

Obama Declares War on Gun Owners

By Gun Owners of America

Today, the President picked up his “phone and his pen” and continued his assault on the Second Amendment.

On the presidential website, the President declared war on senior citizens, and on private individuals who, in some cases, sell as few as one firearm.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST GUN SALESMAN: Nearly 25 million background checks in 2015 alone

We already knew that over 100 million firearms have been sold during the Obama presidency. Now, ia Gun Free Zone we get the latest data dump on federal firearm background checks, and the results are just as you could have predicted:

...December breaks all the records with 3,314,594 background checks.

That means guns sold could arm all Federal, State and Local LEOs (704,672 according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics and Criminal Justice Information Services Division) four times and still have some guns to spare.

QOTD: "[Chicago, Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit] are the heartland of America’s real gun culture. It isn’t the bitter gun-and-bible clingers in McCain and Romney territory who are racking up a more horrifying annual kill rate than Al Qaeda; it’s Obama’s own voting base.

Gun violence is at its worst in the cities that Obama won in 2012. Places like New Orleans, Memphis, Birmingham, St. Louis, Kansas City and Philly. The Democrats are blaming Republicans for the crimes of their own voters.

Chicago, where Obama delivered his victory speech, has homicide numbers that match all of Japan and are higher than Spain, Poland and pre-war Syria. If Chicago gets any worse, it will find itself passing the number of murders for the entire country of Canada. " --Daniel Greenfield

LEVIN: We Need Obama Control!

By CR Wire

Back from his holiday vacation, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin took to the airwaves Monday night to lay out exactly what’s at stake with President Obama’s executive action on gun control.

Levin argues that, by ignoring the separation of powers in the constitution to implement gun control measures, President Obama is fundamentally transforming the American regime into a progressive dictatorship in which he can remove your natural law right to protect yourself and your family by himself, without Congress!

MAP: What is the Dominant "Refugee" Group in Your State?

Via Ann Corcoran, we discover an interesting map that illustrates the dominant country of origin for "refugees" in each state.

Mr. Obama loves blaming his predecessor for all sorts of problems, constantly complaining about the situation he "inherited".

But it's worth noting that Barack Obama inherited a Middle East, after the Iraq surge, that was relatively stable. Via a bizarre set of actions, we have seen the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Obama/Hillary attack that destabilized Libya, a failed "red line" threat in Syria, and a newly resurgent Iran.

The result is a refugee crisis of nearly unprecedented scale, instigated by the Obama-Hillary-Kerry axis of, well, I'm not sure whether its fecklessness or something more nefarious. So consider the following map in that context; you can thank Obama, Hillary and John Kerry for much of this madness.

POLITICAL SCIENTIST: Islam Incompatible With Western Democracy

By Ginni Thomas

Muslim intolerance for non-believers is America’s coming problem with Islam, according to one political scientist.

For Muslims in America, “you’ve got a theological, political problem that I think is incompatible with Western democracy” since they do not tolerate the religious liberty of others, says Matthew Spalding, associate vice president and dean of educational programs for Hillsdale College’s Kirby Center in Washington, D.C.

WCBS News: Now Nakedly Purveying Radical Leftist Propaganda

By Sara Noble

WCBS News in New York offers us a classic example of a manipulative and dishonest media. Our "free press" is biased and is nudging us in one direction – leftward. Here are two disturbing examples though there are many in any given day.

Yesterday at 7:50, they had the president of the notorious leftist organization Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) discuss the Charleston killer. That is the mass shooting that they deploy, not San Bernardino, not Fort Hood, not Garland, but the single mass shooting of blacks by a mentally ill white person. President Richard Cohen was presented as if he were mainstream and his opinion was fact as he blamed right-wing rhetoric and white elitism for the Charleston killer. Whites are afraid of losing their power, he claimed.
