Watch: Aaron MacLean Just Dropped a Truth Bomb on Liberals Who Support Islamic Immigration

/5 Comments/in , /by

Washington Free Beacon Managing Editor Aaron MacLean said on Friday that liberals lack the intellectual framework to understand the current sexual assault crisis happening in Europe.

MacLean told Dierdre Bolton on Fox Business Network’s Risk and Reward that people like actor George Clooney and German leader Angela Merkel can’t comprehend why Germany is experiencing so many sexual assaults in the wake of an influx of refugees from a very different culture.

“I really don’t think what the American people want here is a liberal movie star, George Clooney, lecturing them about loosening their border constraints right before he goes into a meeting with the Chancellor of Germany,” MacLean said.

“People have legitimate concerns about the refugee influx from Syria. The list is long: the threat of terrorism, the proportion of economic migrants among refugees. People feel like they’re losing control of their democracy. They don’t have a say in policy anymore and you couldn’t illustrate that sentiment any better than with a picture of Clooney and Merkel,” MacLean said.

Mark Levin Exposes the Fiction of Bernie Sanders’ Attacks on Wealth Creators

/2 Comments/in , /by

In hour two of the Mark Levin program tonight, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin took Democratic candidate for President Bernie Sanders’ socialist ideology to task. Sanders rails against the “one-percent” who allegedly have stolen all their wealth from the lower classes through exploitation of workers. Levin exposes this Marxist idea as a fiction.

Listen:

Trade is not a zero-sum game. The wealthy are not rich because they steal from others but because they provide goods and services that people want. They create jobs. They improve people’s lives. And, Levin argues, Bernie Sanders would destroy all that.

Bernie Sanders wants to confiscate the wealth away from job creators and entrepreneurs in this country, but he cannot achieve his proposals under our constitutional system, Levin explained. Socialism is antithetical to the principles of the American Founding.

Conservatives must stand against it. (For more from the author of “Mark Levin Exposes the Fiction of Bernie Sanders’ Attacks on Wealth Creators” please click HERE)

Clinton Adjusts Pitch: I Can Be a Sanders, Just Better

/3 Comments/in , /by

Hillary Clinton wants you to know she’s a more realistic, more savvy version of Bernie Sanders.

She, too, wants to close corporate loopholes, make college and health care more affordable and get tough on Wall Street. Just as Sanders does, except she’d proceed more carefully and practically.

Same with Social Security, and income inequality. Me, too, she said. Just better.

Clinton’s challenge, though, was clear during Thursday’s debate. Sanders argues with a passion that appeals to voters disgusted with Washington inertia. Clinton reasons with fact-laced talking points and anecdotes about how things work. Sanders leans into the podium, his right index finger pointing at the viewer as he promises a radical new way of doing business. Clinton is more lawyerly, more measured, even, arguably, more presidential.

She spent much of the debate, the first since Sanders and his insurgent army crushed her in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, intent on providing a distinctive dash of reality. She tried to convince voters fed up with politics as usual that the difference between Sanders and her is largely one of temperament and resume.

Ted Cruz: ‘I’m Not Running to Be Pastor-In-Chief’ [+video]

/3 Comments/in , /by

By David Brody. In an exclusive interview with The Brody File down in South Carolina, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz says his Christian faith guides his path but has a message for those who think his, “Jesus talk” is too much. “I’m not running to be ‘Pastor-In-Chief.’ It is not the calling of a political leader to deliver the salvation message. That is the calling of us as believers, it’s the calling of a pastor but it’s a different role to be a political leader.” However, Cruz is quick to point out that he is NOT ashamed of the Gospel. “I am a Christian and the Word says if you are ashamed of Jesus He will be ashamed of you. I don’t intend to have that conversation with my maker.”

Our interview took place Thursday afternoon in Spartanburg South Carolina. Cruz was in town to meet privately with pastors at an event sponsored by the American Renewal Project. Our CBN cameras were on hand for that meeting and you can check out The Brody File for clips from the meeting.

Cruz App Data Collection Helps Campaign Read Minds of Voters

By Michael Biesecker and Julie Bykowicz. Protecting the privacy of law-abiding citizens from the government is a pillar of Ted Cruz’s Republican presidential candidacy, but his campaign is testing the limits of siphoning personal data from supporters.

His “Cruz Crew” mobile app is designed to gather detailed information from its users’ phones — tracking their physical movements and mining the names and contact information for friends who might want nothing to do with his campaign.

That information and more is then fed into a vast database containing details about nearly every adult in the United States to build psychological profiles that target individual voters with uncanny accuracy. (Read more from “Cruz App Data Collection Helps Campaign Read Minds of Voters” HERE)

Sanders Advocates Path to Citizenship, Using Executive Orders ‘If Congress Doesn’t Do the Right Thing’ [+video]

/6 Comments/in , /by

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he mostly agrees with President Obama, except when it comes to his deportation policies.

“And I would not support those,” Sanders said at Thursday’s Democratic debate in Milwaukee. “Bottom line is a path towards citizenship for 11 million undocumented people. If Congress doesn’t do the right thing, we use the executive orders of the president” . . .

Hillary Clinton said she “strongly” supports the president’s executive actions. “I hope the Supreme Court upholds them,” she said. “I think there is constitutional and legal authority for the president to have done what he did.

“I am against the raids. I’m against the kind of inhumane treatment that is now being visited upon families, waking them up in the middle of the night, rounding them up. We should be deporting criminals, not hardworking immigrant families who do the very best they can and often are keeping economies going in many places in our country.

“I’m a strong supporter of comprehensive immigration reform,” Clinton continued. “Have been ever since I was in the Senate. I was one of the original sponsors of the DREAM Act. I voted for comprehensive immigration reform in 2007. Senator Sanders voted against it at that time.

Pentagon: North Korea Nuclear, Missile Threat Increasing

/1 Comment/in , /by

North Korea poses an increasing danger of using long-range missiles capable of striking the United States with nuclear warheads and is fielding new road-mobile and submarine-launched missiles, the Pentagon said in a report to Congress made public Friday.

The Pentagon is working with South Korea, Japan and other countries to counter “the continued and growing threat from North Korea, its nuclear and missile programs, and its proliferation of related technology,” the report said, adding that the U.S. provides “extended deterrence” through both nuclear and conventional forces . . .

“North Korea’s continued pursuit of nuclear technology and capabilities and development of intermediate- and long-range ballistic missile programs underscore the growing threat it poses to regional stability and U.S. national security,” the 30-page report states.

“North Korea’s pursuit of a submarine-launched ballistic missile capability also highlights the regime’s commitment to diversifying its missile force, strengthening the missile force’s survivability, and finding new ways to coerce its neighbors.”

North Korea’s submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) program was first disclosed by the Washington Free Beacon. In January, the first successful ejection test of the developmental SLBM was carried out. (Read more from “Pentagon: North Korea Nuclear, Missile Threat Increasing” HERE)

Cops Arrest Teen for Hack and Leak of DHS, FBI Data

/1 Comment/in , /by

A 16-year-old boy living in England has been arrested in connection with the recent hack of FBI and DHS data, as well as the personal email accounts of CIA director John Brennan and homeland security chief Jeh Johnson.

Fox has confirmed that British authorities have arrested the still- unnamed teen with help from the FBI and that they are looking for possible accomplices.

The alleged hacker had told Motherboard webzine that he had swiped the names, titles and contact information for 20,000 FBI employees and 9,000 Department of Homeland Security employees. He told Motherboard this was possible through a compromised Department of Justice email.

Authorities believe this is the same hacker who compromised the private email accounts of Brennan and Johnson in October, though officials say neither man used these accounts for government use. As for the agency data, reports indicate that the pilfered information amounted to an internal phone directory. (Read more from “Cops Arrest Teen for Hack and Leak of DHS, FBI Data” HERE)

U.S. To Restore Commercial Flights to Cuba

/2 Comments/in , /by

In just a matter of days, U.S. airlines will begin a fierce bidding war to win routes and airport slots to a destination that’s been off-limits to them for more than 50 years: Cuba.

Starting Tuesday, U.S. carriers will have 15 days to submit applications to the Department of Transportation for routes they’d like to fly between the U.S and Cuba.

The development brings airlines and travelers yet another step closer to scheduled commercial flights between the two countries.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and staff from the State Department will fly from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C., to Cuba to formally sign an agreement to resume flights between the two countries. (Read more from “U.S. To Restore Commercial Flights to Cuba” HERE)

You’ll Never Guess Who Starred in One of Ted Cruz’s Most Recent (Now Removed) Campaign Ads

/3 Comments/in , /by

Amy Lindsay, the actress featured in films such as “Kinky Sex Club,” “Milf,” “Carnal Wishes” and “Sex Sent Me to the ER” stars in Sen. Ted Cruz ‘s latest campaign ad entitled “Conservatives Anonymous.”

“Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time,” Lindsay says in the ad.

Seconds before this story was published, the Cruz campaign removed the ad from YouTube . . .

Cruz’s campaign told The Daily Caller that it is removing and replacing the ad, and that it would not have included her in the ad had it known of her past.

“The actress responded to an open casting call,” Cruz campaign national press secretary Catherine Frazier told TheDC. “She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the casting company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad. The campaign is taking the ad down and will replace it with a different commercial.” (Read more from “You’ll Never Guess Who Starred in One of Ted Cruz’s Most Recent (Now Removed) Campaign Ads” HERE)

Christian Conservatives Pivotal in the South, and Feeling Under Siege

/0 Comments/in , /by

Inside the Sunshine Coin Laundry near the Piggly Wiggly supermarket, Lagretta Ellington removed her family’s clothes from one of the large dryers and began to neatly fold them on a nearby table.

The air was moist and smelled of detergent. The floor was concrete. Her views of the presidential race were anything but. She was unsettled, and distrustful. The candidates just seemed like entertainers . . .

In the South, now the pivotal battlefield of the 2016 presidential campaign, faith and politics walk the aisle together. And while Christians have always dominated American politics – Bernie Sanders this week became the first non-Christian ever to win a presidential primary in U.S. history – conservative Christians feel under siege.

Marriage is being redefined, and they’re being forced to go along. A new health care law mandates free contraception, even if it violates their core beliefs. Even the greeting “Merry Christmas” feels under assault.

Their anxiety and anger help explain the rise of Republican outsider candidates such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas (“Any president who doesn’t begin every day on his knees isn’t fit to be commander in chief”) and even billionaire Donald Trump (“If I’m president, you’re going to see ‘Merry Christmas’ in department stores, believe me”), perhaps the unlikeliest of vessels for such support.
