Retired Harvard University Law Professor Alan Dershowitz strongly criticized the recent protests at the University of Missouri and Yale University, stating that “these students are book burners,” and “the fog of fascism is descending quickly over many American universities.”
Dershowitz made his comments during an interview on The Kelly File on Thursday. When asked for his reaction about the student unrest at Yale and the University of Missouri, Dershowitz said, “These are the same people who claim they are seeking diversity. The last thing many of these students want is real diversity, diversity of ideas. They may want superficial diversity, diversity of gender, diversity of color, but they don’t want diversity of ideas.”
“We are seeing a curtain of McCarthyism descend over many college campuses,” said Dershowitz. “I don’t want to make analogies to the 1930s, but we have to remember it was the college students who first started burning books during the Nazi regime. And these students are book burners. They don’t want to hear diverse views on college campuses.”
“When I went to speak at Johns Hopkins University there were protests,” he said. “It was said that because I won’t acknowledge that Israel commits crimes against the Palestinians, I am quote ‘harassing students’ and violating the ethical standards of Johns Hopkins University.”
“By expressing my opinion,” he continued, “I am ‘harassing students.’ This has become a very serious problem not only in American universities, but in universities around the world as well. And it is influencing and having a terrible impact on the education of students.” (Read more from “Retired Harvard Professor: The Fog of Fascism Is Descending Quickly Over Many American Universities” HERE)

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz would not confirm Hillary Clinton’s claim that she tried to join the Marines, dodging host Andrea Mitchell’s questions and attacking her for asking about the story.
Mitchell asked Schultz “why on earth” Hillary Clinton would “go to a Marine recruiter” even though she was “actively against the war in Vietnam,” and settled down in Arkansas with Bill Clinton at the time.
“With all due respect, Andrea, why on earth are we talking about this?” Schultz asked.
“Well, because she brought it up in New Hampshire the other day,” Mitchell said. “If she hadn’t brought it up, it would not be an issue in this campaign.”
Schultz went on to extoll the significance of the story, which “illustrated […] that we have made a lot of progress in America.” She said that the story is “an important way” to spark a conservation about making “progress for women in this country.” (Read more from “DNC Chairwoman Avoids Confirming This Ridiculous Clinton Story” HERE)

The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.
The move comes after President Barack Obama pledged in September to admit an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, torn by four years of civil war and disorder.
The U.S. State Department confirmed the plans to open a refugee settlement processing centre in Erbil, Iraq, before the end of 2015, and to resume refugee processing in Lebanon in early 2016, said spokeswoman Danna Van Brandt.
The White House would not say how many additional refugees it may take in beyond the 10,000, but two senior administration officials said they are seeking ways to increase the number . . .
The State Department runs nine screening centres worldwide that serve as meeting points for refugees and U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees who have to decide who is suitable for resettlement in the United States.

Many of us remember passing a love note to our first crush, but for one Hillsborough fourth grader, a note had school administrators using phrases like “sexual harassment” . . .
“[He told his crush] how she wears the same uniform and how her eyes sparkled like diamonds,” his mother said.
But soon, she says other students found out about the note and started teasing her son about wanting to see the little girl naked.
“That’s when the principal proceeded to tell me that it wasn’t appropriate that he was writing the note and that if he writes another note, they are going to file sexual harassment charges on my 9-year-old,” the mom said.
Hillsborough school district said they did not threaten to involve authorities. But they did say the boy wrote more than one note and that the notes were unwanted, so that borders on harassment. (Read more from “‘Love Note’ Lands Fourth Grade Student in Principal’s Office” HERE)
By ADAM NOSSITER and RICK GLADSTONENOV. The Paris area reeled Friday night from a shooting rampage, explosions and mass hostage-taking that President François Hollande called an unprecedented terrorist attack on France. He closed the borders and mobilized the military in a national emergency.
French television and news services quoted the police as saying around 100 people had been killed at a concert venue where hostages had been taken, and dozens more killed in apparently coordinated attacks outside the country’s main sports stadium and at least five other popular locations in the city.
Witnesses on French television said the scene at the concert was a massacre. Ambulances were seen racing back and forth in the area into the early hours of Saturday morning.
The casualties eclipsed the deaths and mayhem that roiled Paris in the Charlie Hebdo massacre and related assaults around the French capital by Islamic militant extremists less than a year ago. (Read more on the probable Muslim terror in France HERE)
By Steve Almasy and Jim Bittermann. Scores of people are reported dead after what are being called terror attacks across Paris. Police early Saturday freed hostages at a concert hall where more than 100 people may have died. The attacks seemed to be planned to hit areas where many people would be gathered on a Friday night, officials said. CNN will update this story as information comes in:
• As many as 118 people were killed in the attacks in Paris, Deputy Mayor Patrick Klugman said Saturday.
• CNN affiliate BFMTV reports that SWAT units stormed the Bataclan concert hall and that the siege is over. Two attackers were killed, a police union said. Police have brought out at least 100 hostages from the concert hall, a CNN producer said; some appear to be wounded. President Francois Hollande was on his way to the concert venue, according to French news agency AFP. The interior ministry said at least 112 people died at Bataclan.

Attack Claims He’s From ISIS But Obama Doesn’t Want to Speculate
By Aaron Goldstein. A majority of the deaths have taken place inside the Bataclan Concert Hall where the band The Eagles of Death Metal were playing. The two others major attacks took place outside Stade de France during a soccer match between France and Germany (which was attended by French President Francois Hollande) and outside a Cambodian restaurant called Le Petit Cambodge. The gunmen from the latter attack are still at large at this hour.
Witnesses says that two shooters were responsible for the Bataclan attacks. They chanted “Allahu Akbar!!!” and “This is for Syria!!!” before eventually being killed by French authorities. Evidently many of the concertgoers were being held hostage before they mowed down by bullets or had grenades thrown at them. One person arrested by Paris police has said that he is from Syria and that this is an ISIS operation.
Despite this information, President Obama says, “I don’t want to speculate at this poin terms of who is responsible for this.” (Read more from this story on the probable Muslim terror in France HERE)

By Kevin Whitson. Accepting the title of President of the United States is not only an honor, but is also a great responsibility. In the past, only one U.S. president chose to give up that responsibility and resign from office. The question of whether Donald Trump would resign for any reason, if elected as president, may be answered by taking a close look at how he responded to what is happening on the campus of the University of Missouri right now.
Western Journalism’s ongoing reporting of the situation at the University of Missouri has already uncovered disturbing findings. WJ reported that two faculty members were seen quelling free speech and freedom of the press on campus and strong-arming reporters and video journalists away from covering the protests. . . the main leader of the Concerned Student 1950 group, while condemning “white privilege,” grew up with a silver spoon in his own mouth–his own family was worth several millions of dollars.
Trump weighed in Thursday on the protests in an interview with FOX Business. “I think it’s disgusting. I think it’s disgusting. I think the two people who resigned are weak, ineffective people. I think that when they resigned, they set something in motion that’s going to be a disaster for the next long period of time. They were weak, ineffective people. How we hire people like that…Trump should’ve been the chancellor of that university. Believe me. There would’ve been no resignations.” (Read more from “Trump Says What Others Won’t Say About Missouri University Racism ‘Scandal'” HERE)

Limbaugh Just Blew WIDE OPEN What Could Be the Real Reason for the Mizzou Chaos
By Randy DeSoto. On his nationally syndicated radio program on Thursday, Rush Limbaugh offered a possible theory for the sudden campus protests springing up around the country.
Limbaugh conjectured that the Democrat Party may be helping stoke these fires a means to drum up the African American vote in 2016.
[A]ll of this was a trumped-up, manufactured protest,” he said. “In fact, if you wanted to get really cynical you could almost say the Democrat Party is behind this, and the ultimate objective is to secure African-American turnout in 2016 to the same levels that Obama got it in 2008 and 2012“ . . .
The talk show host elaborated on his point:
I don’t think it would be a mistake to say Democrat Party operatives are behind all this stuff, from Ferguson to Baltimore to now Mizzou and over to Ithaca and all of it – trying to say the country is still racist as ever, for all intents and purposes we still have slavery – that no progress has been made and in their hearts, these evil Republicans still want black people in jail and all that. That’s a theme and were worse.

Has America already become like Europe with respect to homegrown terror and Islamic immigration? Either way, what can we do to delay the inevitable slide into cultural suicide and crossing that point of no return many European countries have already traversed?
These are the questions we never hear asked of the presidential candidates, even though they cut to the core of the most existential security threat to our generation and future generations.
For all the talk of ISIS and Putin, nobody in the political class wants to discuss the 800-pound gorilla in the room – the widespread threat of homegrown terror due to endless immigration from the Middle East. Here are some shocking facts that the presidential candidates would be wise to address, especially in light of what we are seeing in Europe.
7 Facts to Consider:
Numbers: We have admitted approximately 1.6 million immigrants from predominantly Muslim countries from 2001-2013, double the average rate prior to 9/11.
Recent Trend: Immigration from Muslim countries is the fastest growing segment of our annual admissions. The countries with the highest percentage increase since 2010 have all been predominantly Muslim countries. Saudi Arabia (up 93 percent); Bangladesh up 37 percent); Iraq (up 36 percent); Egypt (up 25 percent); Pakistan, India, and Ethiopia (all up 24 percent); Nigeria and Ghana (both up 21 percent)
Trajectory: According to Pew Research, the Muslim population is expected to triple by 2050 – from 2.77 million to 8.1 million. It is expected to double in just 15 years and surpass the United State’s Jewish population by 2040.
Student Visas: In 2014, the State Department granted roughly 54,000 student visas to Saudi nationals, the most of any country. The Saudi student visa program has grown ten-fold since 9/11. Arabic is the fastest growing language on U.S. campuses.
Arabs Dominate Refugee Program: Arabic is the most common language spoken by refugees and that has been the case for over a decade. Since FY 2008, 98,370 refugees have been native Arabic speakers and 38,868 have been native Somali speakers. Among refugees from the Middle East, 91.3% received Food Stamps and 73.1% received Medicaid.
U.S. Hosts Largest Share of Refugees from High Risk Countries: America has admitted 135,545 refugees from Iraq alone since FY 2007. After admitting over 100,000 Somali refugees from 1993-2013, we are still bringing in up to 10,000 more each year. Of the 15,470 Somali refugees brought in since fiscal year 2014, 99.7% have been Muslim. Obama plans to bring in 15,000 more refugees from East Africa, despite the security problems we’ve been having with a segment of the Somali refugee population.
Sentiments of American Muslims: According to a poll commissioned by the Center for Security Policy, 51% of Muslims living in America believe “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to sharia.” Twenty-nine percent agree that violence against those who insult Mohammad is acceptable and 25% agree that violence against America can be justified as part of Global Jihad. Among males under the age of 45 that number rises to 36%. Twenty-nine percent of males under 45 believe that violence against America is justified in order to make Sharia the law of the land. Just 34% of males under 45 believe that if Sharia conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights our Founding documents should be considered supreme.
As you read through these, ask yourself this question: who ever voted for this?
The reason immigration from the Middle East presents such an existential threat is because Sharia law, at its core, is at odds with the safety and stability of America. Yet, once people immigrate here they are entitled to full due process under the law. Once they become citizens, they are entitled to all the benefits of citizens and cannot be stripped of that status unless they are found guilty of committing treason.
The job of government is to protect the existing citizenry. It’s up to the discretion of the existing citizenry whether to allow in immigrants – who to admit and who to reject. Any other generation would have exhibited enough compassion for their people and desire to see their country survive and would have been more circumspect in admitting more Sharia-adherent immigrants.
While our oceans can protect us from the physical invasion taking place in Europe, they cannot protect us from the political correctness and failed leadership of the politicians who willingly endanger our sovereignty, security, and society.

A report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice and released earlier this year found that there are an estimated 23-27 honor killings annually in America, though the numbers are not “completely reliable” due to a variety of challenges, according to a Fox News report . . .
[The report] found that there are essentially four types of honor violence that are frequently discussed and perpetuated: “forced marriage, honor-based domestic violence, honor killing, and female genital mutilation.”
The report also detailed that the vast majority of victims in North America — 91 percent — are believed to be killed for being “too Westernized,” Fox News reported.
Here’s how researchers define honor violence: “a mechanism to maintain or regain a family’s honor by punishing or eliminating girls and women whose actions invite rumors of sexual impropriety or disobedience. Boys and men may also be victims of honor violence if they violate sexual norms or defy patriarchal authority.”
Westat noted in the report that there is no reliable data regarding honor violence in America, though the phenomenon does appear to be rare. One reason that information is difficult to discern is the fact that honor violence is generally not spoken about by families in which it occurs.

With less than a year before his successor is elected and he officially becomes a lame-duck president, time is running short. Obama has moved the ball forward on a number of legacy items already this year. Some have solidified; others remain in limbo . . .
Here are things on Obama’s final to-do list.
1. Finally close Guantanamo. Shuttering Guantanamo is less of a legacy issue and more of a moral one for the president, Stokes said. Since the first days of his presidency, Obama has maintained the prison, where men can be held indefinitely, is a propaganda tool for terrorists. But congressional Republicans say closing it will create more risk than it’s worth, and they — and the realities of what to do with existing prisoners there — have successfully blocked the president for six years from doing anything about it . . .
2. Get the TPP through Congress. Obama already scored a major legislative victory this summer when he persuaded enough congressional Democrats — yes, he was working against much of his own party on this one — to give him authority to negotiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership without congressional say-so on every little detail . . .
3. Ink an international climate change deal. Here’s one place Obama might not need to do battle with Congress. Whatever comes out of a major United Nations summit on climate change held in Paris at the end of this month will likely not have to ratified by the Senate.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump launched an attack on rival Ben Carson’s biographical claims at a rally in Iowa Thursday, at one point repeating a comparison between Carson’s “pathological temper” and child molestation.
At one point, after questioning the retired neurosurgeon’s story of how he nearly stabbed a friend during his adolescence, Trump bellowed, “”How stupid are the people of Iowa? How stupid are the people of this country to believe this crap?”
Earlier, in an interview with CNN, Trump pointed to Carson’s own descriptions of his violent actions during his youth.
“That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that,” Trump said. “That’s like, you know, I could say, they say you don’t cure — as an example, child molester. You don’t cure these people. You don’t cure the child molester.” Trump also said that “pathological is a very serious disease.”
When asked if he was satisfied with Carson’s claims that his anger was in the past, Trump responded, “You’ll have to ask him that question … Look, I hope he’s fine because I think it would be a shame.” (Read more from “‘Don’t Be Fools’: Trump Attacks Carson Biography” HERE)
