DC’s Newseum “Celebrates Freedom” by Promoting Hamas Terrorists

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Washington, D.C.-based Newseum, a journalism museum, is standing by its decision to honor two dead Hamas terrorists who they consider reporters.

“Hussam Salama and Mahmoud al-Kumi were cameramen in a car clearly marked ‘TV,’” Newseum spokesman Scott Williams told the Washington Free Beacon via email on Friday. “The Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, and the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers all consider these men journalists killed in the line duty.”

Here are six things you need to know about Salama and al-Kumi:

1. They worked as “reporters” for a Hamas-backed television station…

They worked as so-called reporters for the Hamas-backed al-Aqsa Television, which the U.S. Treasury Department designated as a terror group in 2010.

2. Salama and al-Kumi were on Hamas’ payroll…

3. Hamas hailed both Salama and al-Kumi as martyred jihadi fighters…

4. The two were “part of the resistance” against Israel…

5. They posed as television cameraman while carrying out terrorist operations…

Republicans Are Refusing To Appoint Members To Obamacare’s Most Notorious Panel

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Business Insider One of the most politically intense fights over the Affordable Care Act was over the creation of the Independent Payment Advisory Board, infamously dubbed a “death panel” by Republicans during the 2010 elections.

On Thursday, Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled that they would keep working to keep opposition alive by doing everything they can to impede the board’s implementation.

The two leaders wrote a letter to President Barack Obama, notifying him that they would not be submitting any recommendations to the panel because of their opposition to it and to the law in general.

Here’s the relevant part of their letter explaining why they aren’t offering any recommendations:

In order to allow supporters to claim that the law’s Medicare cuts would be realized in the future, it tasked IPAB with reducing payments to providers or eliminating payments for certain treatments and procedures altogether. These reduced payments will force providers to stop seeing Medicare patients, the same way an increased number of doctors have stopped taking Medicaid patients. This will lead to access problems, waiting lists and denied care for seniors.

Seal Team 6 Press Conference: Obama at Fault, Muslim Cleric Prayed at Funeral, Damned Them to Hell (+videos)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The SEAL Team 6 families held an extraordinary press conference today, laying blame directly at the feet of the Obama administration for the service members’ deaths in 2011.

Larry Klayman, the attorney representing the Seal Team 6 families, stated that the dead SEALs were “victims of our political establishment who would rather protect radical Islamists than our own people.”

By way of background, the identity of Osama bin Laden’s killers, Seal Team 6, was classified but Obama and Biden publicized who they were, effectively painting a target on their backs.

They then went into battle with an inadequate helicopter, an inadequate pilot, and pathetic rules of engagement that generally required the soldiers to be fired on before firing back.

To add insult to injury, at their funeral, the Department of Defense had a Muslim cleric offer a prayer that apparently damned the heroic soldiers to hell as infidels, desecrating their memory.

What follows is a full, thirty minute video of the press conference. Included in it is an interview with General Jerry Boykin as well as an interview with Representative Gohmert.

If you don’t have time to watch the full video (not professionally edited, but worth the time to watch it), please take the time to review the short news clip below it.

Here’s the news clip of the press conference:

According to the Washington Times, a Pentagon spokesman responded to the press conference with this statement:

“First, I want to say that we share in the grief of all of the families who lost their loved ones. The loss of 38 U.S. and Afghan military personnel was a tragic loss during a difficult campaign. The 30 U.S. casualties represent the diversity and talent of America and its military; these warriors served in three services (Army, Navy, and Air Force), in special operations and conventional units, and represented Reserve and active-duty units from 20 states.”

Rush Limbaugh Says Obama Has Gotten Away With Benghazi (+video)

On Rush Limbaugh’s program Thursday, he shocked listeners with his take on Benghazi:

“Those of you who listen to this program know exactly what happened in Benghazi, and you know exactly why the White House didn’t want anyone to know about it,” Limbaugh said. “There’s just one remaining question that I have been asking for weeks; no, I’ve been asking this question for months. Where was Obama during all of it? That’s the one thing that nobody knows. Where was Obama when four Americans were under assault and ultimately being killed? And there doesn’t seem to be any curiosity inside official Washington.”

He also said that the media has already dismissed the news as nothing more than a “political effort,” despite widespread coverage in the top newspapers.

“The media is treating it today as a non-event or as a Republican political effort to embarrass our delightful president and our future president, Hillary Clinton,” he said.

Perhaps one of the more surprising elements of Limbaugh’s analysis was his suggestion that the Obama administration has gotten away with a cover-up.

After watching this Steven Crowder video, featuring Andrew Klavan, you might end up agreeing with Rush:

Obama Admin. Orders End to 3D Printable Gun Downloads

/0 Comments/in , /by

Charging a violation of an the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Obama’s State Department sent a threatening letter to the students who set-up the radical pro-Second Amendment website Defense Distributed.

Specifically, the letter alleged that the students were possibly in violation of ITAR because thousands of downloads of their 3D printable gun had come from outside the United States.

The State Department apparently considered a free download by a foreign user from a US-based Internet provider to be an “export” and that the plans being downloaded qualified as “controlled defense articles and related technical data.” ITAR provides that such “exports” first require the Department of State’s approval.

In addition to the 3D printable gun, the State Department also had Defense Distributed remove the 3D plans for a muzzle brake, sound moderator (for an air rifle), a gun sight, a .22 sub-caliber insert for a 12 gauge shotgun shell, and other plans.

Unfortunately for the Obama Administration, the plans have now sprung up everywhere else on the Internet, since the State Department’s objections arrived only after 100,000 downloads had already occurred.

Former Commander of Pacific Fleet: Obama’s Dereliction of Duty is Un-American (+video)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: YouTubeThe former commander of the Pacific Fleet, Admiral James Lyon, Jr., slammed Obama’s dereliction of duty as “un-American” and also characterized his ROE’s (rules of engagement) as nonsense.

Admiral Lyon then went on to examine the Islamic threat to the US. He cites the latest Pew Survey of Muslim countries reflecting that most of their residents want Islamic law, not “freedom and democracy.”

He then states that, even in America, “more than 80% of the mosques preach hatred of Jews and Christian and promote jihad.”

The admiral also talks about the Islamists’ penetration of our government. He states that this has led to the Muslim Brotherhood actually having input into our troops restricted rules of engagement.

Finally, Admiral Lyon asserts that the current CIA Director, John Brennan, is “a convert to Islam, which never seems to get discussed”:

Did Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lie to Congress?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APSen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., issued a sharp and unusual challenge to the truthfulness of the nation’s top uniformed military commander on Thursday, demanding that U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, return to Capitol Hill to provide fresh testimony on the Benghazi attacks.

The point of contention involved whether any military officers issued an order to U.S. armed forces personnel on the night of Sept. 11, when the U.S. consulate and a nearby annex came under terrorist attack, to “stand down” from providing assistance.

“I asked [Gen. Dempsey] directly,” Graham said in an exclusive interview with Fox News. “Were there any military assets in motion, to help folks in Benghazi, [that were] told to stand down? And what did [State Department whistleblower] Greg Hicks say? That Lt. Col. [Steve] Gibson — a DOD employee, a member of the Army — was in Tripoli, ready and willing to go to Benghazi, preparing to go to Benghazi, and was told to stand down.”

“Clearly,” Graham added, “our chairman of the Joint Chiefs’ rendition that no one was told to stand down is now in question.”

What’s more, Graham lumped the chairman into a group of prominent Democrats whom the Senate Republican said he would like to see summoned, or recalled, to the witness chair to testify on Benghazi. These included former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s former chief of staff.

Missouri Passes Nation’s Most Extreme Gun Protection Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Republican-controlled Missouri Legislature passed the nation’s most extreme gun protection bill, along with bans on Islamic law and the United Nations sustainability agenda, during a late-night session Wednesday.

Under the gun measure, lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to nullify all federal gun laws in the state, while allowing some teachers to carry guns in schools. The bill also says some teachers who do not carry guns can be fired, while providing them with limited arrest powers.

The gun bill’s passage followed passage of the sustainability and Sharia, or Islamic law, bans. All three bills now move to Gov. Jay Nixon (D) for his consideration. A Nixon spokesman said he did not have a comment until the governor reviewed the bills.

Senate Majority Whip Brian Nieves (R-Washington) trumpeted the bills on Facebooklate Wednesday night, describing the gun bill as the “most hard core piece of Second Amendment legislation in the nation.”

Why Obama and Hillary Engaged in the Benghazi Cover-Up (+video)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: YouTubeIn perhaps one of the most logical articles we’ve seen explaining Obama’s and Hillary’s actions in Benghazi recently, Erick Erickson’s Red State provides a plausible explanation for the Benghazi cover-up:

The general rule here is Command takes responsibility. JFK survived the Bay of Pigs incident because he embraced that rule. Nixon didn’t survive Watergate because he didn’t. If Obama had said Well, we thought that we had good security up at Benghazi, only we didn’t, so al-Qaeda caught us by surprise and killed our people and that was something that I have to take full responsibility for and I’m never going to let that happen again then… well, he might have lost the election, actually. We didn’t realize at the time, but Obama’s 2012 re-election strategy had pretty much no margin for error. So the administration picked a narrative (it was all due to a YouTube video!) that cynically traded on stereotypes about foreign Muslims and their collective level of impulse control, and did nothing but push said narrative for as long as they could. Which was, oddly enough, long enough for the election to be over.

So why didn’t the Republican National Committee and Romney try to sink this narrative? Well, believe it or not, the RNC actually cut an ad calling the Obama Administration out on Benghazi:

Inexplicably, the ad was never aired.

Texas Congressman’s Reelection Campaign Giving Away a Free Bushmaster AR15

/0 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: US CongressWhile congressional gun control advocates and gun-rights supporters duke it out with words and parliamentary tactics, Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman is showing off his Second Amendment fervor by doing what some consider unthinkable: giving away a Bushmaster AR-15rifle, the same weapon crazed murderer Adam Lanza carried to a Connecticut elementary school where he massacred nearly two dozen children.

Stockman, a congressional freshman whose campaign boasts on Twitter that he is ‘the most conservative Congressman in Texas,’ is angling for a second term.

His campaign – not his government office, spokesman Donny Ferguson told MailOnline – is offering the unusual prize to entrants who join his online mailing list.

Twitter erupted late Wednesday after the congressman announced the prize giveaway by tweeting: ‘Want to win a FREE AR-15? Congressman Steve Stockman is giving one away! … Grab this gun before Obama does!’

‘Here in the congressional office the response has been overwhelmingly positive,’ he said. ‘What Democrats have called in have been universally violent and mentally unstable.’
