Look What Else Obama Wants Banned After Orlando Attack

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the week following the Orlando shooting, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump sharply criticized President Obama for being unable to use the words “radical Islamic terrorism.” Obama, visibly agitated, said “calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away…There’s no magic to the phrase of radical Islam. It’s a political talking point.”

Now it seems the Department of Homeland Security wants to ban additional words that are normally associated with Islam.

In a proposal submitted this month by the Countering Violent Extremism Subcommittee, they recommended not using words like “jihad” or “sharia law.” The subcommittee concluded that these terms created an “us vs. them” mentality.

The Department of Homeland Security was also asked to use words that are more inclusive to the Muslim community. Words such as “American Muslim” rather than “Muslim American.”

This is all part of an attempt to combat extremism here in the United States. The department says this operation, which will cost $100 million, will involve hiring experts and developing new social media programs and technology to influence young people not to join terror groups.

“The department must reframe the conversation to reflect this reality and design a robust program around the protection of our youth, which must include predator awareness and an understanding of radicalization. In doing so, our citizens will be better equipped for this threat,” the report says.

The report also urges greater private sector cooperation, including with Muslim communities, to counter what is described as a “new generation of threats to the Homeland related to the threat of violent extremism.” (For more from the author of “Look What Else Obama Wants Banned After Orlando Attack” please click HERE)

Report: DHS Official Protected San Bernardino Terror Suspect From Authorities

/0 Comments/in , , /by

How is it that a federal official is allowed to impede a terrorism case and face no punitive repercussions? This is what happened in the case where U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services-USCIS (part of the Department of Homeland Security-DHS) supervisor Irene Martin restricted access to five armed DHS agents. The agents were sent in response to FBI knowledge that Enrique Marquez, the man who allegedly provided weapons to the perpetrators of the San Bernardino shooting, was arranged to have an interview (along with his wife, Mariya Chernykh) with Martin’s personnel the day after the actual attack.

At the time Marquez and his wife were likely under suspicion by immigration services for their fraudulent marriage. Authorities later described the intention of the two individuals noting, “They wed so she could obtain immigration benefits unavailable to her as a Russian citizen without legal status in the U.S.” Investigators assert Marquez in return received $200 per month to ‘marry’ Mariya Chernykh (sister to the wife of Syed Raheel Farook/older brother to one of the terrorists in San Bernardino shooting).

So, when federal officials went to USCIS to apprehend Marquez, Martin denied them access to the suspect. Fox News reports on the incident:

It is not clear what disciplinary action Martin could face, but the report last week faulted her for making agents wait more than 90 minutes before she gave them access to related files on the suspected terrorist, and then she dismissively ordered them to hand copy files, according to the federal report. Agents told building security they intended to arrest Marquez to prevent him from killing anyone, but Martin had them wait 30 minutes just to see her. When questioned by IG investigators later, Martin repeatedly changed her story and also contradicted what other witnesses said.

Feminist: Toddler’s Gator Death ‘Social Justice’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Tuesday night outside a Walt Disney World hotel, a 2-year-old boy was snatched by an alligator and dragged into a lagoon in front of his vacationing parents. The father, attempting to rescue his baby boy, wrestled the alligator in vain. Tragically, the toddler was found dead on Wednesday.

Upon the report of the gut-wrenching incident, a disgusting racist feminist known as “Brienne of Snarth” on Twitter felt the need to voice her reprehensible views on the matter. She didn’t care that the 2-year-old was killed in front of his family. After all, the father—suffering through undoubtedly the worst tragedy he will ever face—was a white male.Therefore, the toddler’s death was an act of “social justice,” according to the feminist.

Brienne of Snarth commented: “I’m so finished with white men’s entitlement lately that I’m really not sad about a 2yo being eaten by a gator bc his daddy ignored signs.”

The account has since been deleted, but journalist Paul Joseph Watson captured the tweet by screenshot:

Democrats’ Secret Playbook for Trump – Revealed!

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s probably the most important document of the 2016 election – and now you can get it for free.

The internal research file compiled by the Democratic Party on Republican nominee Donald Trump was recently hacked, reportedly by Russian intelligence. More than 200 pages were stolen, detailing the exact lines of attack Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party plan to unleash on the Republican nominee.

However, even this tale of international intrigue may be less explosive than the real truth. Donald Trump recently accused the Democratic National Committee of deliberately leaking the document. The real-estate tycoon and television star noted the Democratic Party has not apologized for allowing this secret data to be accessed and suggested they should . . .

The document contains a detailed examination of Donald Trump’s business record, political positions, and personal relationships. Going back decades, it’s an exhaustive analysis of those items Hillary Clinton believes will allow her to destroy the populist standard bearer of the Republican Party.

However, it also previews the attack lines the Democrats are likely to use in the campaign. For example, it denounces Trump’s “divisive and offensive campaign” and provides the exact quotes the Democrats believe supports this narrative.

Media Banned From Trump Summit With Christian Leaders

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the largest gatherings of evangelical leaders in a generation will take place Tuesday here under the veil of a media blackout.

The guests of honor and the main speakers will be Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson – and it will not only be closed to the press, it will be sealed with tight security.

The event at the Marriott Marquis has some wondering whether the daylong program, titled “A Conversation About America’s Future with Donald Trump and Ben Carson,” offers what looks to some involved like the first glimpse of a possible 2016 GOP presidential ticket, as the presumptive nominee meets with as many as 900 Christian conservative leaders, including James Dobson, Ralph Reed, Penny Nance of Concerned Women for America, Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, American Values President Gary Bauer and many megachurch pastors.

Many of those invited to the gathering were not early supporters of Trump. Some have still not endorsed him.

As Perkins said, “Many evangelicals did not support him. There are many out there that I think would like to, but there is some uncertainty. … Look, as evangelicals, Christians, conservatives in this process, we not only want to have influence but we also have to be a witness to the truth. And, so part of that is, ‘Alright, let’s have a conversation about these issues. Maybe you didn’t think through them.’ And I give him the benefit of the doubt that as a businessman who’s been doing other things, he’s not thought through these policies, and that’s why you’ll see him from time to time change his positions once it’s been explained to him.” (Read more from “Media Banned From Trump Summit With Christian Leaders” HERE)

Orlando Panics as Mall Incident Spurs Evacuation, Fears of Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

An incident at an Orlando shopping mall on Saturday revealed the fear and panic Orlando citizens are currently experiencing beneath the very thin veneer of calm.

Deputies were called to the Orlando Vineyard Premium Outlets at about 2 p.m.

“Preliminary investigation reveals it was a fight and people panicked,” Orange County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Rose Silva said in a statement. “It is still early in the investigation and deputies are sorting everything out.

The panic ensued because the disturbance morphed into a shooting on social media. Some media reports said chairs being knocked over may have sounded like shots to those closest to the disturbance.

Although there was no evidence of a shooting, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office put the open air mall on lockdown while they conducted a sweep. About an hour after the lockdown was imposed, the mall was reopened.

The incident added to frayed nerves of Orlando residents.

Orlando has been rocked recently, first by the murder of singer Christina Grimmie on June 10, and then by the Sunday massacre of 49 people in the nation’s largest mass shooting. Orlando was also the sight of the death of a 2-year-old Nebraska boy killed by an alligator as he waded in a Disney resort lagoon.

“Tensions are high right now,” said Douglas Dobbs, owner of the Dobbs Funeral Home in Orlando, noting the community consciousness as the funerals of the victims are starting to take place.

This Week Proves, Again, That Progressivism Is a Cult

/0 Comments/in , /by

I’ve always enjoyed revisiting the works of Greek philosophy. In no small part because though they were pagans, they were also critical thinkers.

There they were at the dawn of Western Civilization, drinking a runaway train of reality through a firehose with no intellectual roadmap to speak of, and nothing but their wits and a firm resolve to follow the truth wherever it leads. That takes courage. Casting aside the comfort of routine and intellectual malaise is no easy thing, and the Greeks, no doubt, had a penchant for wallowing in sloth and decadence just as much as we Americans do.

But they persisted. They stumbled. Sometimes they even drank poison and died. Sometimes they were wrong, other times they were excellent, but they were almost always serious about knowing how the world really works and why.

Which makes them the exact opposite of today’s progressives.

This last week, following the horror of Orlando, has been a greatest hits tribute to a disordered tribe jacked up on intellectual witchcraft. To claim progressives believe in unicorns would be flattering, compared to the actual buffoonery and obfuscation they have pushed on us from every progressive street corner like a bunch of meth dealers.

For example, a murderous rampage committed by a gay Democrat Muslim, through some godless and insane application of the transverse property, has been of course used to hang responsibility around the necks of Christians and conservatives.

Point of order: The most absurd thing about the progressive’s ‘Stop the Hate’ pleas are that nobody, and I mean nobody, does hate better than progressives. We are talking Sith-level hate. When they say ‘love is love,’ they mean ‘get to the back of the bus, you bigot.’ When they say ‘tolerance’ they mean ‘safe space for me, but not for thee.’

CNN’s Anderson Cooper, an open homosexual, thinks your tears for 49 dead people aren’t real if you’ve never tweeted about gay pride, and he will tell you so on the air. Because… journalism or something. I guess that means Cooper can’t really grieve for the Christians being crucified by ISIS because he rejects Jesus Christ as his Savior.

But wait, Sham Wow, there’s more.

A writer for the website Vox said he wants the president to “unilaterally ban people” from buying guns. And not to be outdone, Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, said that “due process” is the main obstacle to stopping evil.

Yep, there goes that pesky Bill of Rights again. The Founding Fathers may as well have raised their hand and sworn an oath on a Koran the way they keep terrorizing us with their Sharia-like rules. I just knew something didn’t seem right about those dead old white men and all that “give me liberty or give me death” crap.

The New York Times thinks the Book of Romans in the New Testament calls for executing homosexuals. Because nothing says “homophobic” like the following prose (taken from — gasp! — the Book of Romans):

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Lest you think these are just the excusable rantings of sad and frustrated people in the wake of a senseless disaster, think again and think hard. This is the era of bold-faced lies such as “how is my gay marriage going to affect you” and “if you like your doctor, you can keep him.” If progressives have proven anything in recent years it’s that they are accomplished liars.

They are coming for everything including the kitchen sink, and are doing so with all the intellectual rigor of that toddler you saw throwing a temper tantrum at the mall the other day. A gay Muslim Democrat may have done the killing here, but a Christian Republican NRA member is sure as hell going to pay for it.

In all fairness, though, the progressive bug has also infected some corners of Christianity itself with a sort of self-loathing and doctrinal delinquency. Catholic Bishop Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg, Florida, wrote in a national editorial following what happened in Orlando that “sadly it is religion, including our own, which targets, mostly verbally, and also often breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and transgender people. Attacks today on LGBT men and women often plant the seed of contempt, then hatred, which can ultimately lead to violence.”

These are the words of an idiot drunk on red herrings and false equivalencies. He should be ashamed, if not excommunicated. And as his penance, perhaps he should familiarize himself with a story out of Iraq that occurred last month.

A 12-year-old Christian girl was burnt to death in her home by members of ISIS, because her family failed to pay a religious tax on time. Yet what were the girl’s dying words to her mother?

“Forgive them.”

Cast the progressive devil out of your house, bishop. And the same to you, America. For if this little girl had the courage to follow the truth wherever it leads, even to her martyrdom, why on earth don’t you?

What the New York Times Got Devastatingly Wrong About the Orlando Massacre

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an editorial, The New York Times viewed the massacre in Orlando as an example of hate against the LGBT community. The liberal newspaper blamed Republican efforts such as the North Carolina law that requires individuals to use the bathroom that corresponds to their sex at birth and “more than 200 anti-L.G.B.T. bills have been introduced in 34 states,” as factors that contributed to an atmosphere of bigotry conducive for violent reactions to gays and transgender people.

Nowhere in its 630 words did the article mention the fact that Omar Mateen was a Muslim and pledged his allegiance to ISIS – the terrorist group that executes homosexuals.

Instead, the editorial stated, “the precise motivation for the rampage remains unclear…”

Sadly, it’s not just the New York Times that is jumping on the chance to blame anyone and anything BUT the real enemy. Democratic politicians, the media and progressive organizations avoided blaming the ISIS-inspired mass shooting on radical Islam. Instead, they point fingers at guns and supposed bias against the LGBT community by Republicans and Christian conservatives.

Speaking from the Oval Office about the shooting, President Obama emphasized the attack was not “part of a larger plot,” and added that the motivation behind the shooting was unknown.

And as usual, Obama then pivoted to guns saying, “We are also going to have to think about the risks we are willing to take by being so lax in how we make very powerful firearms available to the people in this country.”

Reacting to the shooting, and acting as Obama’s puppets, Senate Democrats pushed for gun control measures following the attack. Democrats launched a filibuster to force votes on preventing gun sales to individuals on a terrorist watch list and measures to tighten background checks.

In a tweet, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) proudly announced his filibuster accomplishment.

Democrat’s intense focus on guns and refusal to address ISIS drew criticism from Carl Higbie, former Navy SEAL and author of Enemies Foreign and Domestic: A SEAL’s Story. According to Higbie, Democrats are exploiting the terrorist attack to advance their progressive political agenda on guns and to protect Obama and Hillary Clinton from their foreign policy failure to defeat ISIS.

“Many on the left are jumping on this tragedy as a chance to push the same agenda they have been pushing for years. They also do not want to admit that their failed foreign policy could have in any way contributed to this,” said Higbie in an interview with Conservative Review. He added, “This is a scapegoat to not link Hillary Clinton to the influence of ISIS.”

Higbie believes the focus needs to be on the radical ideology and not the objects used in attacks noting, “No one blamed Boeing for the planes hitting the towers. We must not blame the objects, we must blame the ideology that possesses people to use them for evil.”

Amanda Marcotte, writing for Salon, criticized conservatives for citing radical Islam as the cause for the violent attack and added there isn’t a difference between Christianity and Islam regarding violence.

In tweets, ACLU attorneys added to the liberal view that avoided linking the terrorist attack to ISIS and went further by directly blaming the “Christian Right” for the attack citing the 200 anti-LGBT bills that were introduced this year.

Think Progress, a progressive policy group, said Christian views toward the LGBT community are as violent as radical Islam. Yes, you read that right.

Abraham Hamilton III, a public policy analyst for the American Family Association, a Christian and family values organization, was dismayed over the blame being assigned to Christians and believes it’s dangerous to not identify ISIS as the true cause of the attack.

“The speed with which some have turned their ire onto Christianity, as a result of this tragedy, [is] appalling and astounding. It’s sickening how quickly some are willing to politicize the death of some many,” Hamilton said in an interview with Conservative Review.

Hamilton believes there is no ambiguity regarding Mateen’s motivation since the murderer called 911 and pledged his allegiance to ISIS and its leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, and reportedly yelled “Allahu Akbar” during the shooting.

Additionally, Hamilton noted that disagreement over an issue does not equate animus against others. He pointed out that Chick-Fil-A, the restaurant founded by Christians and normally closed on Sundays, opened last Sunday to serve food and drinks for the people waiting in line in Orlando to donate blood for the victims of the attack.

Finally, Hamilton is concerned about the failure of Obama and The New York Times to identify ISIS as an organization responsible for the attack especially science ISIS claimed responsibility for the shootings at the Pulse nightclub.

Hamilton concluded, “Failure or unwillingness to identify those who seek to destroy us puts our citizens more at risk of danger.”

Unlike the 911 attack by Al Qaeda that unified the nation against a common enemy, the response to the terrorist attack in Orlando is split between ideological lines. (For more from the author of “What the New York Times Got Devastatingly Wrong About the Orlando Massacre” please click HERE)

JAG EXPERT: FBI Director Comey Has Delayed the Hillary Investigation “For Too Long”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The media continue their focus on accusing presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of racist rhetoric, and facilitating the circular firing squad that some in the Republican Party and conservative movement are only too happy to take part in. Reporters continue to publish story after story damaging to Republicans, salivating over whatever Republican disunity they can unearth, and calling for Republicans to disavow Trump’s actions.

But in doing so they are hoping to protect Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, and the issue of whether or not its presumptive nominee will face criminal charges. The Obama administration has now admitted that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting a “criminal” investigation into the activities of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who used a private email server to send and receive classified information and has demonstrated a pattern of corrupt behavior while secretary of state.

“And that’s why the President, when discussing this issue in each stage, has reiterated his commitment to this principle that any criminal investigation should be conducted independent of any sort of political interference,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest, continuing, “and that people should be treated the same way before the law regardless of their political influence, regardless of their political party, regardless of their political stature and regardless of what political figure has endorsed them.” He spoke less than one hour after President Obama endorsed Mrs. Clinton for president last Thursday.

Earnest maintained that the civil servants at the FBI “aren’t going to be swayed by political forces” when conducting the investigation. But, surely, these civil servants will notice the direction of the political winds.

President Obama held a meeting with Department of Justice Attorney General Loretta Lynch shortly after his endorsement of Hillary. If FBI Director James Comey were to refer his investigation to Lynch, the Attorney General would have the power to not pursue the case.

“In order for Clinton to carry Obama’s torch, she has to stay out of prison,” writes Katie Pavlich for Townhall. “In order to do that, she has to avoid prosecution. I’m sure Obama made that very clear to his somewhat new Attorney General.”

We have regularly cited the various scandals still hanging over Mrs. Clinton’s head. They include the mishandling of classified materials, obstruction of justice, the public corruption scandal in which she used the State Department as leverage for benefitting the Clinton Foundation as well as her family, and Benghazi.

Contrary to President Obama’s assertion that he is allowing a non-partisan and full investigation, by endorsing Mrs. Clinton he has placed his hand on the scale of justice and made his wishes more than clear to federal investigators. The question is, will Director Comey and the FBI follow the President’s direction?

Despite the administration’s continued support for Clinton, new stories break daily outlining Mrs. Clinton’s corruption and pay-for-play. ABC News, with the help of Citizens United, found that a Clinton donor was placed on a sensitive intelligence board during Mrs. Clinton’s term as secretary of state—even though he lacked the credentials for the appointment.

The Wall Street Journal also reports that “many” of the 22 classified emails from Mrs. Clinton’s private email server that the government refuses to release, “dealt with whether diplomats concurred or not with the CIA drone strikes…” These highly sensitive and classified emails were “written within the often-narrow time frame in which State Department officials had to decide whether or not to object to drone strikes before the CIA pulled the trigger…” There are more than 2,000 emails that Mrs. Clinton handled that contained classified material on her private, unsecured server, whether marked as such or not.

“Several law-enforcement officials said they don’t expect any criminal charges to be filed as a result of the investigation,” reports the Journal, continuing, “although a final review of the evidence will be made only after an expected FBI interview with Mrs. Clinton this summer.”

Jonathan F. Keiler, a lawyer and former captain in the Army’s Judge-Advocate General Corps, writes that Comey has already delayed for too long. In an outstanding column for American Thinker, he wonders what Comey is up to: “What FBI director James Comey intends is perhaps the greatest conundrum in Washington these days. Is he playing Hamlet to Hillary’s Claudius, introspective, doubtful, and unwilling to strike the killing blow? Is he just being a careful apolitical policeman? Or is he a political hack who will do what’s best for Jim Comey? Perhaps it’s a bit of all three. Whatever the truth, it is in Hillary’s best interest to discourage Comey as much as possible. Her early claim to be the Democrat nominee serves that purpose.”

Keiler argues that Hillary’s convenient surge past the magic delegate number the night before the California primary, through a sudden burst of superdelegate declarations, served both her political and legal purposes. “If Comey is an honest policeman,” he writes, “the best time for him to have acted was before Hillary claimed the nomination. Then he would only have been referring charges against another—albeit notorious—private citizen. After the nomination, Hillary becomes not only the standard bearer of one of America’s two great political parties, but a ‘historic’ figure as the first woman to do so. As such, it behooved both Hillary and her backers in the media to reach that point ASAP.”

“As a political and media matter,” he adds, “an FBI referral at this point will be against not only the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, but also a historic figure, an affront to the American political system and women everywhere.”

The evidence against Mrs. Clinton is clear. If Director Comey finds no evidence of criminal activity by Mrs. Clinton, he will lose his reputation as a straight shooter. Either way, at this point, it will be viewed as a political act. If the Attorney General and President Obama stymie an investigation through political interference, Director Comey could, and should, go public. There might even be a revolt within the FBI. Whether or not that happens, Hillary Clinton’s fate is now quite clearly in Director Comey’s hands.

CIA Director Affirms Obama’s ISIS Strategy Is Not Working

/0 Comments/in , /by

No, President Barack Obama—we aren’t winning the war against the Islamic State.

The head of the CIA, John Brennan, testified on Thursday that, “Despite all our progress against [the Islamic State] on the battlefield and in the financial realm, our efforts have not reduced the group’s terrorism capacity and global reach.”

In fact, the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is actively recruiting, training, and deploying operatives for future attacks in the west.

According to his remarks, “[ISIS] has a large cadre of western fighters who could potentially serve as operatives for attacks in the west … the group is probably exploring a variety of means for infiltrating operatives into the west, including refugee flows, smuggling routes, and legitimate methods of travel.”

So, ISIS has not been contained—or even deterred. This revelation really shouldn’t surprise us.

The Obama administration has stubbornly maintained its position that we are actively containing and defeating ISIS despite all contrary evidence. Reality and hard facts appear irrelevant. Plus, the Obama administration knows how to spin a narrative.

In the wake of Orlando, the U.S. needs to double down against ISIS both at home and abroad. Overseas, the U.S. should proactively double down and lead a multipronged global effort to deny ISIS territory, disrupt recruitment efforts, and uproot its destructive ideology.

At home, the U.S. should reform the counterterrorism enterprise by refocusing the Department of Homeland Security on intelligence capabilities and improving coordination between the DHS and other agencies.

For the sake of our safety and security, the Obama administration needs to abandon its position that we are winning this war and take a good look at the hard facts. (For more from the author of “CIA Director Affirms Obama’s ISIS Strategy Is Not Working” please click HERE)
