Obama’s ‘New World Order’ Quote Will Creep You Out Even if You’re Not a Conspiracy Theorist

The Washington Post‘s Chris Cilliza highlighted this excerpt [emphasis added]:
But whether people see what’s happening in Ukraine, and Russia’s aggression towards its neighbors in the manner in which it’s financing and arming separatists; to what’s happened in Syria — the devastation that Assad has wrought on his own people; to the failure in Iraq for Sunni and Shia and Kurd to compromise — although we’re trying to see if we can put together a government that actually can function; to ongoing terrorist threats; to what’s happening in Israel and Gaza – part of peoples’ concern is just the sense that around the world the old order isn’t holding and we’re not quite yet to where we need to be in terms of a new order that’s based on a different set of principles, that’s based on a sense of common humanity, that’s based on economies that work for all people.

Obama Backs Down After Ted Cruz Directly Challenges Him on Israel
Photo Credit: CNN
President Obama continues to take bold steps of action that reveal his true feelings toward Israel, and so far, they aren’t positive.
Obama started straining U.S. relations with Israel when he asked them to use “restraint” when dealing with terrorists who were constantly bombing their country and killing their children, which is a ludicrous thing to suggest, as no nation in the world would follow that advice.
The president continued to make things worse by warning the Israeli military not to invade Gaza with ground operations, and then slamming them when they did, placing the blame for Palestinian casualties on their shoulders, rather than on Hamas.

Cruz: “Obama Admin The Most Anti-Israel Admin This Government Has Ever Had”
By Real Clear Politics.
SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): Israel is defending herself against vicious terrorists who are trying to murder innocent civilians. As Prime Minister Netanyahu put it very effectively a couple weeks ago, in Israel they use missile defense to protect their civilians. Hamas is using their civilians to protect their missiles, which is a war crime. And you ask why aren’t we doing this? Sean, the reason is sad, it’s tragic, but the Obama administration is the most anti-Israel administration this government has ever had.

Border Protests Kick Off Across USA
By Jenny Doren.
Hundreds of people in North Texas and across the U.S. are holding a National Day of Protest. They’re rallying against illegal immigration, amnesty and the border surge.
There are 34 demonstrations planned in Texas alone, including every major metropolitan city from El Paso to Houston.
The “Make them Listen” movement is taking shape nationwide with protests in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Here at home, dozens of protesters will crowd outside Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkin’s office hoping he’ll listen.
They’re gathering at 11 a.m. and will put pressure on Jenkins to reconsider bringing 2,000 border kids here to Dallas. Jenkins has been pushing to shelter the kids here for months now.

The chaos at America’s southern border grows worse almost daily. As thousands of unaccompanied minors and pregnant women enter the country illegally and turn themselves in, confident that they will be allowed to stay under Obama administration policy, Customs and Border Protection resources have been stretched to the breaking point.
The strain on resources required to process the influx of illegal immigrants have left the border more porous than it ever was, threatening long-term chaos and perhaps even America’s very existence.
Although violence at the border has been reported before, new reports of high-caliber weapons fire aimed at Border Patrol agents indicate that the situation has become truly dire. Congressman Louis Gohmert, in the Rincon Peninsula area of Texas to get a better understanding of the situation the ground, says Border Patrol agents are not equipped to deal with the weapons that were fired across the Rio Grande in their direction.
From Fox News:
“When the shooting stopped, about 40 to 50 people came out on the U.S. side and turned themselves in. So clearly the rounds were being fired to suppress every effort to stop anybody intervening with anyone or anything coming across,” Gohmert added. “We have no idea what or how many or whom came across with the other illegal immigrants.”

Migrant crisis expands north from border, into arid Texas wilderness
By Molly Hennessy-Fiske.
Daniel Zamarripa loaded his police dog into the back of his patrol car and set out to track his quarry — immigrants circumventing the local Border Patrol checkpoint.
Zamarripa, 27, is one of 15 reserve deputies brought in to assist the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office, whose four deputies have lately found themselves overwhelmed by 911 calls from migrants stranded on the vast ranches that stretch from here to the horizon in all directions.
Then there are the bodies of migrants who didn’t make it to retrieve and identify: 42 so far this year.
Most attention to the crisis on the Southwest border has focused in recent weeks on the Rio Grande Valley, where many of the 57,000 unaccompanied children and a large number of families have crossed from Mexico since October, twice last year’s total. Many surrender to immigration agents willingly at the Rio Grande, aware that they will be allowed to stay pending immigration court hearings.

BUSTED: This EPA Employee Tried Covering Up Their Mistake, But Now It’s Spreading Like Wildfire
Just months after an Environmental Protection Agency staffer was caught looking at pornography for hours at a time on his company computer, another glaring example of wasted time has surfaced in the federal department.
As evidenced by a subsequently deleted Twitter post by an official EPA account, at least some employees are more interested in playing social media games – specifically one endorsed by ubiquitous reality star Kim Kardashian – than in regulating the lives of American citizens.
For opponents of the agency’s intrusive policies, such frivolous misuse of time might be more favorable than the pursuit of even more EPA restrictions.

Asked by Capitol City Project’s Joe Schoffstall on Friday whether or not she had a stated position on Israel’s recent foray into Gaza, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) couldn’t be reached for comment. Instead, she did exactly what she did two years ago at Netroots Nation when facing tough questions from reporters: she ran away.

Ted Cruz Has A Great Solution For The Border Crisis – And It Involves Abolishing The IRS

Senator Ted Cruz spoke to over 3,500 people in Denver this weekend and proposed a two-birds-with-one-stone solution to tax reform and border security.
“The simplest road to tax reform is to abolish the IRS and move to simple flat tax (sic),” said Cruz.
As for what to do with 110,000 out of work IRS agents, Cruz said “we can always put them on our southern border. Seeing so many IRS agents would scare off anyone who wanted to come to America,” he told the crowd.

The father of conservative firebrand U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz roused a crowd of tea party supporters with stories of his journey to the United States and his call for constitutional conservatism.
Rafael Cruz, pastor of Purifying Fire Ministries in suburban Dallas, received multiple standing ovations throughout his speech, delivered at a We the People rally organized by the Nashville Tea Party at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel on Saturday afternoon.
The Cuban native spent much of his lecture analyzing the merits of Declaration of Independence and accusing the federal government of straying from it. He also said how his beliefs are inspired by the same wellsprings as his son, the Texas senator who has enthused some conservatives enough to call on him to run for president.
“That passion has been like fire in him, and let me tell you, that fire has been as alive 32 years ago as it is today,” Cruz said. “That’s why I know he’s not going to compromise in Washington.”

This Small Town Just Took A Big Stand Against Obama

“We love welcoming people to what we think is one of the most attractive communities in Puget Sound,” said City Manager Mike Sauerwein.
While visitors might be welcome, however, he insisted that it should be at their own expense.
“We just don’t feel that we should be passing the cost of the events to our citizens,” he said.
Saurwien explained that, with previous presidential visits, taxpayers have had to pony up tens of thousands of dollars to pay for added police coverage and other incidental expenses. He urged the city council to pass that expense on to Obama’s host, former Costco CEO Jim Sinegal, for this event.

How Our World Fell Apart

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world
—W.B. Yeats, “The Second Coming”
Wherever we look today—from the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East to the post-Cold War frontier in Ukraine to the South China Sea to our border with Mexico— our world appears to be falling apart.
This naturally raises a serious question in the minds of many people: If America, the indispensable nation, had been doing its job of holding the global system together, couldn’t this chaos and anarchy have been avoided?
The simple answer is, yes.
But if you listen to Hillary Clinton, the unraveling of the international order was inevitable under the leadership—or lack of leadership—of Barack Obama. As I reported in my book “Blood Feud,” Hillary places the blame for the sorry state of the world squarely on the man in the Oval Office.

New IRS Form Proves Obama Lied About Individual Mandate Tax
On Thursday the IRS released a slew of draft 2014 tax forms. The new draft Form 1040 shows a new surtax line has been created for the payment of the individual mandate surtax – see line 61 of the 1040:
President Obama has repeatedly denied that the surtax is in fact actually a tax. The most prominent example was a heated exchange on ABC’s This Week in Sept. 2009, when George Stephanopoulos confronted Obama with a dictionary:
STEPHANOPOULOS: I — I don’t think I’m making it up. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary: Tax — “a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.”
OBAMA: George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition. I mean what…
