Happy New Year! Incredible Photos from Asia and Australia Begin the Celebration!

Let's hope 2016 is a year filled with hope and promise and not more of what we saw in 2015!

As I write it's still December 31 on the East Coast of the United States but the New Year has already begun on the other side of the world. Here are a few photo highlights. More at the Daily Mail:

THAILAND: Fireworks light up the sky over Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) during New Year celebrations in Bangkok overnight.
AUSTRALIA: This shot of Sydney Harbour showing the Opera House was captured from a viewing platform 2,500ft above the ground.

Resolutions yea or nay?

I've pretty much given up on resolutions. But if you haven't and need some tips, try here. If you are looking for an excuse not to make resolutions this article may help. Basically the author suggests why bother. We're going to eat and drink too much, be lazy and all the rest of it anyway so enjoy it! And as far as drinking goes, it's either the worst thing EVER or it may even be good for you (though not too much).

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

In Wake of Obama-Iran Nuke Deal Iran Gives Obama the Finger and Fires Rockets Near Our Aircraft Carrier

The delusion of thinking Iran would moderate it's behavior has been exposed. But Obama lives in a world devoid of reality!

In announcing his Iran nuke deal Obama declared:
My hope is that building on this deal we can continue to have conversations with Iran that incentivize them to behave differently in the region, to be less aggressive, less hostile, more cooperative, to operate the way we expect nations in the international community to behave.
Since then Iran has gone out of it's way to act MORE aggressive, hostile and less cooperative!

In October Iran violated a UN Security Council Resolution by firing a ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. If the point Iran was trying to make with that missile test wasn't clear enough Iranian units fired rockets near the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier on Wednesday. Rockets were within 1500 yards of the ship in what was described as a "close call" and "highly provocative."

Meanwhile, Iran took another American prisoner in October bringing the total number of Americans held in Iran to five.

It doesn't seem to have dawned on Obama that if Iran is willing to violate UN Security Council Resolutions, act in a hostile and aggressive way towards U.S. and allied military units and seize MORE Americans that it might not be serious about living up to a nuclear deal. But then, Obama has always lived in his own world when it comes to foreign policy. Examples abound and they help to explain why Obama has been so deficient in other foreign policy areas like the fight against Islamic terrorism.

The Weekly Standard recently ran a comprehensive article titled "The Long War Continues," In it they recount the story of then candidate Obama's visit to Iraq to see General Petraueus. Obama dismissed Petraueus's experience and insisted that remaining Al Queda in Iraq did not represent a major threat to the U.S. or our allies. It's the same flawed line of thinking that led him to declare that ISIS was the "JV team" in 2012 and was "contained" hours before the Paris massacre.

In the Standard article the author's conclude:
It was an instructive exchange. Obama, a first-term senator with no experience in military or intelligence matters, challenged the general who had beaten back a jihadist insurgency in Iraq, led a remarkable turnaround in the country, and was a leading figure in America’s broader war on terror. The assessments Petraeus offered were based on years of personal experience guiding U.S. troops against jihadist armies generally, and Al Qaeda in Iraq specifically, and they were bolstered by mountains of intelligence reporting on the enemy, its objectives, and its practices.

Obama simply thought he knew better. His challenge wasn’t based on facts that contradicted Petraeus, or on facts at all. Rather, Obama made a series of assertions based on nothing more than his long-held conviction that Iraq was a distraction from the war on terror. And when he was presented with evidence that contradicted his thesis, Obama simply set it aside and restated his own view. It’s a pattern that would play out repeatedly throughout his presidency.
They go on to cite other examples throughout Obama's presidency where facts have been spun to fit Obama's preferred political narrative.

Time after time we see a President guiding foreign policy based on a false set of assumptions and a political narrative where facts and reality are routinely ignored. The deadly consequences of Obama's delusion and the failure of his foreign policy are piling up. January 2017 can't come soon enough and our only hope is that a Republican with the guts to turn things around takes office!

No Hate Crime Here: Texas Muslim Mosque Fire Started by MUSLIM

But that won't stop the Obama Administration from focusing on anti-Muslim violence more than Muslim terrorism!

Remember a few weeks back when Obama's Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke to a Muslim group in the wake of the San Bernadino massacre and said her "greatest fear" was a backlash against Muslims? She promised swift action to prosecute anyone who took any action that might be offensive to Muslims.

I wonder what she will do about this? A mosque fire on Christmas Day was apparently set by a man who was a devout Muslim!

Like some of the black churches burned by black men this episode raises additional questions about the prevalence of anti-Muslim acts. Not to mention the dozens of Americans killed in the U.S. by Muslim terrorists in recent years. Has Obama forgotten about that?

How Many Hundreds of Blacks Will Be Murdered as a Consequence of #blacklivesmatter Anti-Cop Protests?

Nationwide the rise in violent crime is skyrocketing and blacks are the biggest victims!

After dramatic decreases in violent crime the past ten years there has been a sudden upward surge in that category including homicides. The worst violence is centered in cities all controlled by Democrats. Very few cities have seen a decrease in violent crime.

A good article discussing this sorry trend is the first item here.

#Blackliesmatter has been very vocal in denouncing police shootings of unarmed blacks. But that number is just a few dozen at most. The increased number of blacks murdered (mostly by other blacks) will be several hundred or more and the rate continues to rise.

At what point does #blacklivesmatter accept responsibility for the consequence of their protest which has left police in many of the worst affected cities unwilling to risk preventing criminal acts for fear of being branded as racists?

Hundreds of blacks who would otherwise be alive today are dead because of the idiocy of the #blacklivesmatter crowd and the Democrats like Obama who are behind it all!

Free Speech Rights of #BlackLivesMatter More Important than YOUR Rights!

The latest and most successful Obama astroturf group is blocking the Mall of America and the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport because THEIR RIGHTS are more important than yours!

Liberal Wash Post Cartoonist Mocks Ted Cruz's Children

A new low? The left is just getting started!

In the Washington Post, or the New York Times or in ANY so-called mainstream media you would NEVER find anything disparaging about Obama's two children. You won't find anything like that at Fox News either. This despite the fact that Obama has used his two girls frequently in speeches and photo ops to make a political point.

But if you are conservative like Ted Cruz and you make a humorous Christmas video featuring storytelling to your two girls ages 7 and 5 the lib media will come gunning for you AND your children.

Here's the Cruz Christmas video. It's amusing and cute. Here's what the Washington Post cartoonist said about it:


Show me where the Wash Po or any other "mainstream" media has treated Obama's children like monkeys! The screams of "RACIST" would still be ringing in our ears. But apparently, it's just another day at the office to tag the children of a conservative candidates as monkeys on a leash!

Oh, the Post did eventually pull the cartoon but only after making sure all their left wing buddies got a copy. That's how this kind of character assassination works.

Once Again Hillary Lies About a Video While Blaming Trump for ISIS Recruitment

When it's CLEAR that Obama, Hillary and the weak Dems fearful to defeat ISIS are the best recruitment ISIS ever had!

For liberal fact checkers it seems an exaggeration by GOP candidate Donald Trump about Muslims celebrating on 9/11 is more important than an actual sitting President suggesting ISIS is "contained" hours before they slaughter 130 people in Paris. But maybe fact checkers consider what Obama said was a "delusion" and not a lie. For me that's even more troubling.

Trump's statement was branded the "lie of the year" despite the FACT that  American Muslims DID celebrate the 9/11 attacks and still do. (1,2,3)

But now, we have Hillary Clinton in a presidential debate claiming that ISIS is:"showing videos of Donald Trump insulting Islam and Muslims" to use as a recruitment tool. But guess what? No such video exists. However, ISIS videos do mention Hillary's husband Bill the "fornicator" in chief! Obama is also prominent in ISIS propaganda.

This isn't the first time Hillary has lied about a video being responsible for terrorist activity. Despite her telling Egyptian and Libyan leaders that Al Queda was responsible for the Benghazi attacks on September 11, 2012 she told the American people a video was to blame. All for politics during Obama's re-election campaign!

Hillary's memory is remarkably convenient. Other famous lies include the claim that she was under sniper fire when landing in Bosnia as First Lady. News reports clearly showed no such threat. Hillary lies so often it's hard to keep up. Here's a short list of her worst.

A New York Post editorial on this subject asks: "Here’s the question: Trump’s claim has been the subject of weeks of media attention and denunciations. Will Hillary get the same treatment? Or yet another pass?" We know the answer to that one.

Obama and Hillary's inability or unwillingness to take the ISIS threat seriously is the best recruitment tool ISIS ever had. These terrorist monsters are thriving and it's all because of Obama and Hillary!

That Makes THREE: Former Obama Sec. Defense Confirms Obama has NO STRATEGY and the White House is Dysfunctional

Most people realized this a long time ago.

Good piece at Foreign Policy Magazine. An interview with former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel who describes how bewildered our allies are at Obama's actions, or rather inactions, how dysfunctional the White House is (four hour meetings without any decision) and the fact that Obama STILL does not have a strategy to defeat ISIS or manage the Syrian crisis.

Each of Obama's two other former Secretaries of Defense have said some similar variation on this theme. Apparently the ONLY person who doesn't know Obama's national security policy is a mess is Obama! But then, does he really care?

P.S. Democrat debate: Same policy as Obama with similar results!

Ted Cruz Wins CNN Debate But Cruz-Rubio Brawl Was a Draw

Cruz cementing second place but yet to close on Trump nationally!

Here's the latest polling average from Real Clear Politics. Previously Cruz and Rubio appeared locked together but now Cruz is pulling ahead.


In the Tuesday debate on CNN from Las Vegas Cruz was the center of attention and got the most speaking time. The brawl between Cruz and Rubio did help illuminate the two candidates positions on both national security and immigration. From my perspective, Marco Rubio is stronger overall on national security because I do believe we need to get rid of Assad and break the Iranian influence in Syria. But Cruz is stronger on immigration.

Cruz does have other weak points on national security as illustrated by Bret Stephens in the Wall Street Journal.

Rubio endured the most negative mentions, mostly from Cruz.

Jeb Bush won the Facebook soundbite war when he told Trump "you can't insult your way to the presidency." Otherwise his performance was flat. He just doesn't seem to shine in these debates. No wonder that a debate party at his Miami headquarters was nearly empty.

We're starting to learn more about how the candidates differ on key issues like national security and this debate was an important step in that process. Perhaps when the field narrows, the opportunity to compare and contrast among the top leaders will improve. But at this point, I have to say Cruz is looking good!

Obama Admin: More Protection for Potential Foreign Terrorists Than U.S. Citizens, Tea Party and Gun Owners

Again, we have to ask whose side Obama is on?

I've had two posts over the past week (1,2) documenting the Obama Administration active measures to block programs which would have been more effective in identifying potential terrorists before they strike.

Here's another to add to that list. The training manual from the Department of Homeland Security which clearly puts the emphasis in favor of protecting the rights of would be terrorists. From section F:
1. Ensure that the training aligns with the federal approach to
CVE, including prioritizing civil rights and civil liberties and
building partnerships with communities. (See the White
House Approach to Countering Violent Extremism.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/
empowering_local_partners.pdf)
2. Note: Countering violent extremism programs differ from
counterterrorism (CT) programs. CVE programs focus on
developing trust, enhancing community resiliency, and
protecting civil rights and civil liberties. CT programs focus
on developing sources, investigating, arresting, and
prosecuting criminal activity. Training objectives for CVE
programs should reflect this approach.
What is specifically banned is any source that might believe:
a. Many mainstream Muslim organizations have terrorist ties.
b. Mainstream Muslim organizations are fronts for Islamic
political organizations whose true desire is to establish Sharia
law in America. Muslim Americans are using democratic
processes, like litigation and free speech, to subvert
democracy and install Sharia law.
Approved attitudes in Counter Terrorism are very similar to those in this useless Countering Violent Extremism program. As we've seen the government didn't even look at the social media of those who want to enter the United States from countries where Islamic radicalism runs rampant.

When it comes to overseas visitors, there is no U.S. Constitutional privacy protection. Interesting that some on the left who pretend that there is had no problem with the IRS demanding Tea Party applicants reveal what books they read, their Facebook postings or event the content of their prayers. And let's not forget how quick the left is to demand that 2nd Amendment rights be watered down so that gun ownership can be restricted.

Once again, potential terrorists in the U.S. or abroad appear to have greater rights than the American citizens who die in terrorist attacks. Thanks Obama!

Ferguson Missouri "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Among Wash. Posts Big Lies of the Year

Sadly, there are still racebaiters out there who accept the lie as gospel because it suits their prejudices!

The Washington Post has begun it's year end wrap up of their Fact Checker column. In that column they assign lies anywhere from one Pinocchio (minor mistruth) to four Pinocchios (whoppers). Among this years four Pinocchios is the hands up don't shoot lie from Ferguson Missouri where black teen Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer. The incident has been shamelessly used and the lie retold to stir up racial anger.


“Hands up, don’t shoot.”
This phrase became a rallying cry for protests after the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer, Darren Wilson. Witness accounts spread after the shooting that Michael Brown had his hands raised in surrender, mouthing the words “Don’t shoot” as his last words before being shot execution-style.Democratic lawmakers raised their hands in solidarity on the House floor. But various investigations concluded this did not happen — and that Wilson acted out of self-defense and was justified in killing Brown.
See the full story at the Post here.

Like global warming, one of the other big lies from the left, the question arises: if things are really as bad as the left suggests why do they have to lie about it?

Political Correctness Kills: San Bernadino Terrorists Entered U.S. Because Obama Admin. Refused to Look at Obvious Signs of Radicalism

And this is the same Administration that says we have nothing to fear from Syrian refugees? How would they know? They won't even look at what is right before their eyes!

Below we have the post describing how the Obama Administration canceled security programs profiling radical Muslims that might have prevented the San Bernadino attack. We also have the fact that the Obama Administration has purged all references to radical Islam in FBI training and canceled CIA events where homegrown radicalism was the topic.

It's hard to imagine anything more stupid and reckless than that but then there is this. This comes from the New York Times, not Fox News or Rush Limbaugh so even our lefty friends will have to stand up and take notice:
U.S. Visa Process Missed San Bernardino Wife’s Zealotry on Social Media
By MATT APUZZO, MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and JULIA PRESTON
New York Times
DEC. 12, 2015

WASHINGTON — Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband carried out the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., passed three background checks by American immigration officials as she moved to the United States from Pakistan. None uncovered what Ms. Malik had made little effort to hide — that she talked openly on social media about her views on violent jihad.

She said she supported it. And she said she wanted to be a part of it.

American law enforcement officials said they recently discovered those old — and previously unreported — postings as they pieced together the lives of Ms. Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, trying to understand how they pulled off the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

Had the authorities found the posts years ago, they might have kept her out of the country. But immigration officials do not routinely review social media as part of their background checks, and there is a debate inside the Department of Homeland Security over whether it is even appropriate to do so.
A debate about whether it is "appropriate" to search social media to see if the subject has posted radical views? On what planet should there even be a discussion about that? But then, this is the Obama Administration which bends over backwards to appease radical Muslims at the expense of the safety of American citizens.

The Times story continues:
Ms. Malik also had two in-person interviews, federal officials said, the first by a consular officer in Pakistan, and the second by an immigration officer in the United States when she applied for her green card.

All those reviews came back clear, and the F.B.I. has said it had no incriminating information about Ms. Malik or Mr. Farook in its databases. The State Department and the Department of Homeland Security have said they followed all policies and procedures. The departments declined to provide any documentation or specifics about the process, saying they cannot discuss the case because of the continuing investigation.

Meanwhile, a debate is underway at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that approves visas and green cards, over whether officers conducting interviews should be allowed to routinely use material gathered from social media for interviews where they assess whether foreigners are credible or pose any security risk. With that issue unresolved, the agency has not regularly been using social media references, federal officials said.
Hundreds of security investigators are now scouring the world for information about this terrorist couple. What a shame at least one of them couldn't have devoted 30 seconds to click on a link to the terrorists Facebook page before the attack! But no, that would have been racial profiling and Obama says we mustn't. Any perceived discrimination against Muslims, which to Obama could mean anything, is what he calls "a betrayal of our values." Tell that to the families of the 14 people killed in San Bernadino. I'm sure they will feel better knowing Obama's sense of American values is protected!

UPDATE: ISIS images found on the phones of hundreds of Syrian refugees! Are these the "widows and orphans" Obama keeps talking about? And "refugees" coming to the U.S. need have no fear that Obama's Homeland Security will look at your phone. That would be wrong! They will only look at your phone AFTER you commit mass murder!

Obama Admin Canceled Program Which May Have Detected San Bernadino Killers Over Fear of Muslim Profiling

14 Americans are dead because Obama wants to appease radicals more than protect Americans!
A former Homeland Security employee says he likely could have helped prevent the San Bernardino terror attack if the government had not pulled the plug on a surveillance program he was developing three years ago.

Philip Haney told Megyn Kelly tonight that as part of his investigation, he was looking into a collection of global networks that were infiltrating radical Islamists into the U.S.

But a year into the investigation, Haney said they got a visit from the State Department and the Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, who said that tracking these groups was problematic because they were Islamic.

His investigation was shut down and 67 of his records were deleted, including one into an organization with ties to the mosque in Riverside, Calif., that San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook attended.

Haney explained that if his work was allowed to continue, it could possibly have thwarted last week's attack.

"Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because association with that mosque, and/or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his association with a known organization," Haney explained.
We've already learned that the FBI was told to purge all references to radical Islam from it's training materials and that the CIA was forced to cancel a conference on homegrown radical Islam. [More info here.] The driving force behind these changes are radical Muslim groups allied with the Obama Administration. This idiocy goes beyond not wanting to offend Muslims by saying Islamic terrorism but deliberately hiding from the truth that these people are committed to killing Americans unless we stop them.

Obama's refusal to recognize radical Islam as the source of terror is delusional. But refusing to let government agents connect the dots in order to appease radical Muslim groups is insane. No wonder we didn't get a heads up on this attack. Leading me to ask yet again, whose side is Obama on? Even moderate Muslims are starting to wonder.

Incompetence, or Indifference to Terrorist Entry to U.S. Exposed in This Short Video. Obama Admin. Doesn't Know the Answer!

The people in charge either do not know or do not care about the terrorist threat!

Unbelievable... This is the Homeland Security official RESPONSIBLE for protecting the Homeland!

Watch this:


Skip ahead to the 3:30 mark Ms. Kelli Ann Burriesci, a deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, apparently has NO CLUE what is really going on.

Not that she's the only one. Obama has instructed other departments, including the FBI to look the other way when it comes to Islamic terrorism (1,2) and went so far as to block those who accurately describe Muslim terrorism from a CIA conference and purge all reference to Islamic radicalism from FBI training.

We have an Administration that is actively involved not only in denying the nature of the radical Islamic threat but in covering up all traces of it. They won't give an honest answer. It's no longer a question of competence. It's a question of WHOSE SIDE IS OBAMA ON?

GOP Presidential Polling: Is Cruz About to Shake Up the Race?

Plus, my column for the local newspaper!

Here's the latest average of national polls in the GOP 2016 presidential contest. Visit Real Clear Politics for the details on this polling average:


Polling averages for Iowa:


Polling averages for New Hampshire:

Polling averages for South Carolina:


What's clear across the board is the decline of Carson with his former supporters either going to Trump or to Cruz and Rubio. Bush remains flat.

Here's my December 10th column for my local newspaper:
Is Ted Cruz About to Shake Up GOP Race?

Earlier this fall I noticed something odd. Suddenly, mainstream news organizations began publishing positive articles about Ted Cruz suggesting he is a GOP presidential contender to watch. At the time, he was back in the pack of national and early state polls. But in the last few weeks a change has taken place.

In the wake of the Paris and Mali terror attacks Katie Glueck, writing for Politico described how strong conservative voters she interviewed in Iowa were shifting their allegiance from Dr. Ben Carson to Ted Cruz largely because they felt Cruz had a better grasp on national security issues. In the wake of the California massacre that trend may continue.

And it’s not just former Iowa frontrunner Carson that is taking a hit. Recent Iowa polling shows Trump leading some and Cruz others. (I’ve posted summaries of national and early state polling at my blog Mike’s America.)

Cruz won his seat in the U.S. Senate after a surprising come from behind win in Texas. He may be implementing that plan once again. And we certainly should not overlook the fact that his campaign has more cash on hand ready to spend than any other candidate but Trump.

Cruz also has the advantage in that he is despised by the GOP establishment in Washington. That’s a winner with many GOP voters.

If Cruz were to win the Iowa Caucus on February 1 he would certainly shake up the race. But he’s vying with Sen. Marco Rubio for a distant second place in New Hampshire where Trump leads. In South Carolina Trump leads with a solid second by Carson followed by Cruz and Rubio ten points below. However, South Carolina polls could change quickly after results from the first two states. I’m not going out on a limb when I say Cruz is the man to watch for now.

Rubio is paired with Cruz in national, New Hampshire and South Carolina positive polling trends. Both are strong on national defense and Rubio has a Reaganesque message and personal story about American exceptionalism that is quite compelling. But Rubio still carries baggage from his ill fated involvement in comprehensive immigration legislation that would have granted immediate "registered provisional" status (others call it amnesty) to millions of illegal aliens with border security to come later. Maybe.

Rubio is also backed by billionaire fund manager Paul Singer who supports lax immigration policies as well as other liberal causes. It raises the question whether Rubio could really walk away from his past immigration mistake and be his own man. He’s yet to answer that question in a GOP debate. Perhaps an enterprising reader will do so when Rubio visits the Lowcountry next.

This month’s honorable mention goes out to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. He’s trying hard but so far it’s not working; at least not yet. He’s above the lower tier of the pack but not by much nationally and in state polling. If you have watched television recently you’ve seen the ads from his political action committee and perhaps received the same mailings that I have. His super PAC has more money than any other GOP candidate. Money talks but will it save Jeb?

Finally, I haven’t mentioned the elephant in the room, or should I say the donkey in the corner. I’m talking about the Democrats. Compared to the GOP contest there isn’t much excitement surrounding their race. Hillary still comes with loads of baggage that may be too much even for some Democrats but does anyone seriously think Bernie Sanders stands a chance of defeating her?

The ethical clouds that follow Hillary Clinton like dust follows Pigpen in the Charlie Brown cartoons won’t lift anytime soon. Worse still is her attachment to the toxic and failed Obama foreign policy that has allowed the spread of this terrorist ISIS cancer. Recent state elections continue to show that even the slightest connection between Democrat candidates and Obama can be fatal. Try as she might, can Hillary Clinton really pretend she wasn’t there during the first four years of Obama’s term that put us on the sorry road to where we find ourselves today?

Video: Best Comparison of GOP Candidates on Terror War Policy

Keep this in mind as voting begins in February!

Well worth the 3+ minutes to view:



Here's the summary graphic from the video:


It's near the time when voters will have to look past tough talk and see who really does have a practical, workable strategy to defeat ISIS. Senator Ted Cruz will have to explain how he will defeat ISIS without the more aggressive tactics proposed by other candidates. I doubt we'll get much specificity from Trump on the subject but hopefully the question will come up in the next debate.

However the GOP candidates stack up on this issue one thing is clear: they ALL would implement a much stronger, more aggressive policy than Obama. But that's not saying much!

Happy Hanukkah: Obama and Attorney General So Concerned with Hate Crimes Directed at Muslims, But Ignore Crimes Against Jews

Again, you really have to ask whose side are they on?

We have an Attorney General who said her "greatest fear" was that massacres by Muslims would spark an anti-Muslim backlash. Less concern for that than the scores killed by Islamic terrorists.

Now, Obama in an Oval Office speech to the nation on Sunday spent more time talking about an anti-Muslim backlash and gun control (despite the FACT that the CA killers were NOT on any terror or gun watch list. Neither were any other Muslim killers in the U.S.) than he did about defeating ISIS.

Is Obama and his Attorney General even aware of the government's own statistics from the FBI on hate crimes which show the vast majority were directed at Jews, not Muslims? Have you ever heard Obama or the Attorney General make preventing those attacks a top priority?
Religious bias
Of the 1,340 victims of an anti-religious hate crime:
62.4 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-Jewish bias.
11.6 percent were victims of an anti-Islamic bias.
7.5 percent were victims of a bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
6.4 percent were victims of an anti-Catholic bias.
2.6 percent were victims of an anti-Protestant bias.
0.9 percent were victims of an anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
8.6 percent were victims of a bias against other religions (anti-other religion). (Based on Table 1.)
Once again, Obama shows a complete indifference to the REAL PROBLEM and no grasp of any coherent strategy to deal with the problem of Islamic terrorism.

The speech Obama should have given is a version of the one delivered by the President of Egypt to Islamic scholars in January. Yet Obama went out of his way to distance himself from Egypt's President Al-Sisi when the Egyptian people overthrew the radical Muslim Brotherhood government. Al Sisis said:
I say and repeat again that we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move… because this umma is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost—and it is being lost by our own hands.
Why is that message so difficult for Obama to embrace? Do we not want the help of Muslims to defeat terrorists? Why can't Obama enunciate the danger and take steps to counter it? Obama's speech Sunday offered nothing new on strategy. Just more of the same. And how's that working out?

Whose side is Obama on?

Another Joan of Arc Rises in France to Lead in Time of Terror. Where is the U.S. Version?

And don't tell me it's Hillary who can't say "Islamic terrorists" any more than Odumbo can!

Across Europe right wing parties are rising to meet the challenges brought on by socialist indifference to national security and economic common sense. The latest good news comes from France:

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen: the new wonder-girl of France's right.
Enough of failed socialism. Enough of passivity in the face of Islamic war!


Across the world change is coming. It will either be defined by passivity to the radical Islamic scourge or a defense of Western values and national security. In the U.S. it's clear Obama is motivated either by delusion or something far worse. Change must come to America too. Our choice is clear:  More of the same with Hillary or put a President in office who will go on the offense to protect our lives and values?

Attorney General "Greatest Fear" Isn't a Terror Attack Killing Americans But Anti Muslim Backlash

Meanwhile, Obama isn't focused on national security but photo ops promoting gun control agenda!

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke at a dinner for Muslim Advocates on Thursday. She never mentioned the massacre in California. Instead, while she said she "is sworn to the protection of all of the American people," her focus at this event was on how much she was doing to protect Muslims from discrimination or violence. Nothing about combating radical Islam. Not. One. Word!

In response to a question about an anti Muslim backlash Lynch responded such backlash was her "greatest fear."

And Obama, who still hasn't been able to call the attack in California an act of terror, let alone one perpetrated by radical Muslims, was busy doing what? Meeting with former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords to discuss gun control. No doubt fundraisers and a late fall golf outing are next on his schedule!

Do you get the impression that Obama cares more about protecting the Muslim community here and overseas than he does about protecting the American people? My "greatest fear" is that more Americans will die because of his dangerously deluded leadership!

UPDATE: Obama Weekly Address:  All about gun control which would not have stopped the attack!

Again, whose side is he on?

Thursday, December 03, 2015

Someone Tell Obama: CA Massacre Nothing to do with Climate Change or Gun Control. Everything to do with Islam.

We can't solve this problem until we are honest about the real cause!

In 2009 Major Nidal Hasan killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas. The Obama Administration labeled it "workplace violence" and continued to fight against giving Purple Hearts to the surviving wounded. The Administration refused to label this an example of Islamic terrorism despite Hasan yelling "Allahu Akbar" as he fired.

Then, Obama labeled the would be Christmas bomber in 2009  an "isolated extremist." Obama referred to the Chattanooga shooter who killed four Marines in July 2015 as a "lone gunman."

Recently we learn that there have been 71 arrests of ISIS sympathizers in the United States.

In every case the Obama Administration has attempted to downplay any link to terrorism or to Islam. Operating from perhaps the deluded idea that calling it Islamic terrorism would insult moderate Muslims, the continued refusal to link Islam with terrorism means it's more difficult to encourage those moderate Muslims to step forward. But even when moderate Muslim leaders step forward, they find little support from Obama. Egypt's Al-Sisi called for a revolution within Islam to defeat the radicals. Nothing but silence from the White House.

Islamic Radicalism, Not Lack of Gun Control The Source of California Massacre

In every case cited above the one unifying factor is the link to radical Islam. The same goes for the California killers. Early reports suggest shock that someone who co-workers found to be a decent young man "living the American dream," could become a mass murderer. But reports are coming out which suggest the shooter Syed Farook did become radicalized and had contact with known terrorists.

Meanwhile, back in Washington the delusion game continued as Obama said:
“It is possible that this is terrorist-related, but we don’t know; it is also possible this was workplace-related,” Obama said, adding, “we don’t know why they did it.”

Obama added that it was important to understand the “nature of the workplace relationship” between the individuals to fully understand the attacks, raising the possibility that it could be “mixed motives” for the attacks.
Islamic Bomb Factory. More Attacks Planned or Workplace Violence?

Obama's immediate go to response wasn't to blame radical Islam but to call for more gun control. Always ready to inject politics into a tragedy Obama seems oblivious to the fact that the Paris terrorist shooters did so in a country with incredibly strict gun laws. Also, the California shooters deployed pipe bombs. Not your typical episode of workplace violence but a coordinated, well planned attack. A dozen pipe bombs were found at the killer's home. Did they learn how to manufacture these bombs from terrorist web sites?

Neighbors who thought large numbers of Muslim men visiting the home and late night activity in the garage suspicious were fearful to speak out lest they be accused of racism. Once again, political correctness KILLS!

Operating a bomb factory and staging a well planned massacre are not the hallmarks of workplace violence but of Islamic terrorism. Obama's continued refusal to see it as such and using the attack to promote his political agenda is further proof that we have a leader who does not understand the problem and cannot lead an effective campaign to counter it. How many more will die before this deluded fool leaves office?

P.S. In case anyone thinks Obama is telling the truth when he claims mass shootings don't happen with the frequency they do in the U.S., some facts. Not that it will matter to Obama. His lie serves his political agenda in the same way he lies about global warming.


UPDATE: Shooter claimed Islam was "religion of peace" days before killing 14.
UPDATE: Female shooter passed Homeland Security screening for visa. So much for Obama's promises about vetting Syrian refugees!
UPDATE: Shooters began erasing digital fingerprints, destroying hard drives etc. to hide their tracks. But don't call it terrorism. Perhaps they were working for the IRS!
UPDATE: The Obama gun grabbers want to ban those on terrorist watch lists from being able to buy guns. Sounds fine, except those lists are notorious for including innocent people and the CA shooters were not on them anyway. Once again, it's not the gun, but ISLAM that is the problem!

Where is the Media That Dissects Trump And Every GOP Candidate on Obama's Miami Fish Story?

Surely whoppers told by a sitting President are as newsworthy as questionable statements by mere candidates?

No, strike that. I forgot. The media reports anything Obama says with little interest in it's veracity. No Republican would ever get away with those whoppers!

Rather than deal with the immediate threat of ISIS terrorism Obama said this in Paris at the climate conference: ""I think that as the science around climate change is more accepted, as people start realizing that even today you can put a price on the damage that climate change is doing -- you know, you go down to Miami and when it's flooding at high tide on a sunny day and fish are swimming through the middle of the streets."

Put aside the rest of the lies he's told about climate change despite the fact that this hurricane season and the NINE BEFORE have been among the calmest in a decade with NO STORMS hitting the U.S. Or the fact that Obama insisted, without ANY factual basis that without his carbon tax plan there would be “submerged countries, abandoned cities, fields that no longer grow.” Or the myriad of other lies that have been told about climate change (the North Pole is still there, Santa is safe!).

Obama's new whopper on fish in the streets of Miami were too much even for the liberal Miami Herald newspaper:
While Miami Beach has certainly suffered from sunny-day floods during high tides, recent reports about fish swimming in the street have come from further north in Broward County and are far from widespread. No one's pulling out their fishing rods on the road.  WSVN-FOX 7 reported in September that a mullet was spotted swimming in Fort Lauderdale. A member of the Miami Herald and WLRN radio's Public Insight Network reported in October that she saw fish in the streets of Hollywood during a king tide.
So, one fish in Fort Lauderdale is grounds for Obama to handicap the U.S. economy!

And let's get this straight. High tides, which are NOTHING NEW to coastal communities (I know from experience) often flood lower lying areas. Perhaps a fish or two was spotted, but not in Miami.

Meanwhile, the media beats up on Trump for suggesting that Muslims celebrated the 9/11 attacks even though the Washington Post reported it happening in the United States and video shows Muslims dancing in the streets overseas on 9/11.

But fact checking Obama has never been something the left wing media has taken seriously. Far better to quibble over what any Republican said than a sitting President who happens to be a Democrat. You would almost think reporters are racist and just don't hold Obama to the same standard as the white guys!

Meanwhile, Obama in Paris agrees that the U.S. will continue to restrict carbon, despite the high cost to the economy, but China, the biggest carbon emitter, will not be bound by anything more than voluntary commitments beginning 15 years from now.  And more than anything else, nothing Obama is doing will have the slightest impact on climate:
Moreover, nothing that emerges from Paris will have a discernible effect on world temperatures. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studied the INDCs that have been released so far and concluded that temperatures in 2100 will rise 3.7 degrees Celsius if they are followed to the letter. Then again, these are the same scientific models that predicted much higher temperatures than we’ve had.
Let's not forget that the basic underlying data for this global warming scam is a total FRAUD

Obama in Paris: Mass Shootings Don't Happen in Countries Other Than U.S. Does He Know How Many Were Killed Weeks Ago?

Is he really THIS out of touch? 

Responding to the Colorado shooting, OBAMA: “I say this every time we have one of these mass shootings. This just doesn’t happen in other countries,” he said during a press conference in Paris today.

Well, he skipped the moment of silence held by world leaders in Turkey at the G20 summit. Maybe he forgot that ISIS has been butchering dozens with guns, not just beheadings, crucifixions, burnings, drownings and burying children alive!

But really, even Obama must have heard about the TWO massacres by gunmen in France this year. Did he miss this photo?

Bodies lie in pools of blood at Bataclan concert hall after
mass shooting by ISIS terrorists. Someone please tell Obama!
Once again, Obama shows that his fealty to a radical left wing ideology and gun grabbing trumps not just reason but facts!
