What This Ultra Radical Just Admitted Will Make Hardcore Libs Lose Their Minds

What This Ultra Radical Just Admitted Will Make Hardcore Libs Lose Their Minds:

"She’s been a radical rockstar in the international feminist movement, but now she’s announced that pro-life is her position when it comes to abortion and the rights of the unborn. Not only that, but this outspoken activist says she wants something from Christians — something that not long ago she would never have sought — forgiveness."

New York Man Arrested for Attempted New Year’s Eve Terror Plot | TheBlaze.com:

"Police arrested a would-be Islamic State attacker in New York Wednesday for allegedly planning an armed terror operation at a bar in Rochester on New Year’s Eve, officials said Thursday.

FBI officials had been tracking 25-year-old Emanuel Lutchman of Rochester for months prior to his arrest. Lutchman has been charged with attempting to provide material support and resources to the Islamic State, WNBC-TV reported."



Pamela Geller named Woman of the Year

Pamela Geller named Woman of the Year:

"Backing down is not in Pamela Geller’s lexicon.

In May 2015, Geller hosted an art exhibit and drawing contest featuring images of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. Her aim was to stand up for free speech by showing that Muslims could not intimidate non-Muslim Americans into following Shariah blasphemy laws, which prohibit any depictions of Muhammad.

Two gunmen showed up at the Garland, Texas, event and started shooting, injuring a security officer before being killed by police.

Frightened into silence? Not Geller."

BREAKING: Obama's TOP Intel Chief Just Threw Him Under the Bus... And for GOOD Reason:

"Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, was essentially forced to resign his post in 2014 for speaking the unwelcome truth to power in the Obama administration.

Since leaving the inner circle of the White House, Flynn has only become more outspoken in his criticism of the policies and strategies being pursued by President Barack Obama and the “leaders” he has surrounded himself with.

In a recent interview with The Daily Caller, Flynn unloaded some of his most direct critiques to date, exposing the administration for making decisions based on ideology "

BREAKING: Obama Used NSA to Tape GOP Rep. Phone Calls... Look What He Did With Recordings:

"A report in The Wall Street Journal Tuesday revealed that President Barack Obama’s National Security Agency intercepted calls between House Republicans and members of Jewish and Israeli lobbying groups, reporting on Iran deal strategy to the president.

The NSA claimed that its recordings were obtained during the normal course of their espionage against the state of Israel. However, the report raised troubling questions about what the president and his administration did with the information they received."

Mayor Who Called Obama A Muslim Will NOT Back Down From His Remarks ⋆ US Herald:

"Oddly, no one has explained why saying they believe the president and first lady to be Muslim should be considered an insult.

Questions about both the president’s personal religious convictions and his feelings about the Islamic faith have haunted him since he first declared for the presidency in 2006, and nine years later, in a September 2015 CNN poll, 39 percent of Americans responded that they think Obama is a Muslim.

In his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope, the president wrote of Muslims, “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”"

When Beatlemania Is a Microaggression.

When Beatlemania Is a Microaggression... - Hit & Run : Reason.com
Over at National Review, Kat Timpf (also a featured panelist on Greg Gutfeld's Saturday night Fox News show), relates a tale that sums up the low stakes of much debate over political correctness, microaggressions, and the like.
Forget about mediocre ethnic food served up in cafeterias, claiming that "America is the land of opportunity," or saying yoga is yoga, rather than "mindful stretching."
It's Beatlemania that is culturally insensitive and intolerant.
Psychology professor Adam J. Rodriguez of California's Notre Dame de Namaur University tells the story of a friend who "is a really, really big Beatles fan" and "insisted that I dedicate time to listen to them."
Summarizes Timpf:
Rodriguez, who is Puerto Rican, explained that his friend was part of “the dominant culture” that makes people Beatles fans — and the fact that he dared to criticize Rodriguez for not being one was insensitive and meant he just didn’t recognize the “power and privileges” he had as a white dude that Rodriguez did not have.
“All cultures contain within them many subcultures, with one cultural dimension often dominant,” Rodriguez wrote.
“When one is a member of the dominant culture, that person enjoys particular power and privileges, including the freedom to not have to consider other perspectives.”...

Professor warns students: Planet on verge of global apocalypse due to human activity

Professor warns students: Planet on verge of global apocalypse due to human activity - The College Fix:
"An assistant professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst concluded his comparative politics course earlier this month by telling students the planet is dying because of human activity – and there is little hope of reversing course.
“We are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction, one that we are responsible for as a species,” Professor Timothy Pachirat told students on the last day of class. 
“We humans are creating the conditions for our own extinction as a species.”
He also suggested that because of global warming, students’ granchildren might only be able to see a coral reef in “history books.” 
He also said the global consumption of farm animals illustrates in part “that we are living in a period of more suffering than the world has ever known.”
The dire predictions were among a long list of apocalyptic warnings the Yale-educated scholar laid out for his students in a 20-minute tangent that mirrored a TED talk in scope.Audio of the professor’s comments were exclusively obtained by The College Fix..."

A guide to the allegations of Bill Clinton’s womanizing - The Washington Post

A guide to the allegations of Bill Clinton’s womanizing - The Washington Post
On Twitter, Donald Trump, the GOP presidential front-runner, lashed out at Hillary Clinton, directly attacking her husband, the former president, for what Trump called “his terrible record of women abuse.”
Trump is obviously referring to the sexual allegations (???!!) that have long swirled around Clinton, even before he became president.
We will divide the stories into two parts: consensual liaisons admitted by the women in question and allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter.
  • Consensual affairs
  • Gennifer Flowers — a model and actress whose claims of a long-term affair nearly wrecked Clinton’s first run for the presidency in 1992. (Clinton denied her claims at the time, but under oath in 1998 he acknowledged a sexual encounter with her.)
  • Monica Lewinsky — intern at the White House, whose affair with Clinton fueled impeachment charges. This was a consensual affair, in which Lewinsky was an eager participant; she was 22 when the affair started and Clinton was her boss.
  • Dolly Kyle Browning — A high school friend who said in a sworn declaration that she had had a 22-year off-and-on sexual relationship with Clinton.
  • Elizabeth Ward Gracen — a former Miss America who said she had a one-night stand with Clinton while he was governor — and she was married. She went public to specifically deny reports he had forced himself on her.
Some might argue that because Lewinsky and Gracen had relations when Clinton was in a position of executive authority, Clinton engaged in sexual harassment.
  • Allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter
  • Paula Jones — A former Arkansas state employee who alleged that in 1991 Clinton, while governor, propositioned her and exposed himself. She later filed a sexual harassment suit, and it was during a deposition in that suit that Clinton initially denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. Clinton in 1998 settled the suit for $850,000, with no apology or admission of guilt. All but $200,000 was directed to pay legal fees.
  • Juanita Broaddrick — The nursing home administrator emerged after the impeachment trial to allege that 21 years earlier Clinton had raped her. Clinton flatly denied the claim, and there were inconsistencies in her story. No charges were ever brought.
  • Kathleen Willey — The former White House aide claimed Clinton groped her in his office in 1993, on the same day when her husband, facing embezzlement charges, died in an apparent suicide. (Her story changed over time. During a deposition in the Paula Jones matter, she initially said she had no recollection about whether Clinton kissed her and insisted he did not fondle her.) Clinton denied her account, and the independent prosecutor concluded “there is insufficient evidence to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that President Clinton’s testimony regarding Kathleen Willey was false.” Willey later began to claim Clinton had a hand in her husband’s death, even though her husband left behind a suicide note..."

Horowitz at Heritage Foundation: 'The Communist Party Is The Democratic Party' - Breitbart

Horowitz at Heritage Foundation: 'The Communist Party Is The Democratic Party' - Breitbart:

"That was the theme of Horowitz’s speech as he continued: how the communists had taken over the Democratic Party. “The communist party is the Democratic Party,” Horowitz stated. “In The Great Gatsby, [F. Scott] Fitzgerald describes the rich as people who break things and leave them for others to clean up. That is a wonderful description of the left.” Horowitz, who began as a radical Marxist, said that the modern left had learned stealth from their failures in the 1960s: “The left have learned from the 1960s…we in the 1960s didn’t want to pretend to be Jeffersonian democrats…That’s why we failed in the 1960s. That’s why they’ve succeeded now.”

But the right, Horowitz pointed out, has failed to acknowledge that reality."

False Realities

By Tammy Derouin

As we approach the end of another year under the Obama dictatorship, I can’t help but wonder what will take place during his final year.  It’s supposed to be his final year but it wouldn’t surprise me if he attempts to find a way to stay in power.  It would be unconstitutional, you say? Well, what has he done that is Constitutional?  And why has our Congress refused to rein in an out-of-control executive?

Under normal circumstances, a lame duck president quietly rides out his final year.  And although Obama has been nothing short of a weak leader, as far as protecting the American people, freedom and the American way of life, he has however, been an unstoppable, ambitious advocate for the enemies of the American people.  So, I guess weakling is in the eye of the beholder.

At the end of every year since Obama assumed the highest office in our government, I have looked back in amazement at how much freedom we have lost and how much power he has gained.  Every year I hope that Congress and the judicial branch will do their job, as stated in the Constitution.  The Constitution was designed to prevent tyranny but only if we use it.  Every year we sink deeper into darkness.

It is absolutely amazing that we have allowed this administration to get away with their unapologetic power grab.  We have willingly allowed ourselves to be enslaved by our own government; cheering and applauding as we lock ourselves in chains.  Somewhere during these dark years, it became criminal behavior to defend freedom and independence.  The desire to enforce the rules as set forth in the Constitution has become radical behavior.

Anyone who disagrees with the executive is now being accused of being a racist, as if the only reason people would oppose his policies is based solely on the color of his skin.  Honestly, aren’t you tired of him making up false realities?  Obama lives in a world of make believe; he’ll make it up and you better believe it.  The first American dictator has certainly done everything in his power to transform our nation into something it was never meant to be and Americans cheered.

Explicit Islamic State ‘Fatwa’ on Female Sex Slaves Reveals How and When Captured Girls Can Be Raped | TheBlaze.com

Explicit Islamic State ‘Fatwa’ on Female Sex Slaves Reveals How and When Captured Girls Can Be Raped | TheBlaze.com:

"The fatwa on female slaves was sparked by questions regarding unspecified “violations” by Islamic State members owning sex slaves. The fatwa contains 15 explicit rulings, prohibiting forced abortions and blocking “owners” from having sex with the female slave if she is menstruating or pregnant. Several of the rulings pertain to “sharing” of a slave’s child and rape within families."


This is the true war on women.
Our government ignores such atrocities
and leaves our borders open for undocumented individuals. 
We have a huge problem and it started at the top. 

Elections board approves formatting of gay rights petition

Elections board approves formatting of gay rights petition - Crain's Detroit Business:
"LANSING —  Supporters of amending Michigan's constitution to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity cleared an initial procedural step Tuesday when the state elections board approved the format of their petition.
The Fair Michigan ballot committee now must gather about 315,000 valid voter signatures by summer to put the initiative on the November statewide ballot.
...The state constitution bars discrimination because of religion, race, color or national origin.
The amendment would add gender, gender identity, sex and sexual orientation protections.
The GOP-controlled Legislature has blocked legislation that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to a civil rights law, prohibiting discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents in employment, housing and places open to the public.
Equality Michigan supports continuing to lobby legislators for the next three or four years instead of pursuing the 2016 ballot measure, Executive Director Steph White said.
"The whole LGBT movement is pretty united on that path," she said. "None of the (poll) numbers I've seen indicated any hope for this to win."
The landslide defeat in November of a nondiscrimination ordinance in Houston has left LGBT-rights activists bracing for their opponents to seize on the successful tactic of stoking fears over transgender people's access to public restrooms..."

Great news!!-----Mapped: How the world became awash with oil

Mapped: How the world became awash with oil - Telegraph:
"With Opec blasted as "irrelevant" in the new Hobbesian oil market, the world's supply glut is reaching record levels. "
Global oil markets are heading into uncharted territory.
Opec, the cartel that oversees a third of the world's oil production, has dropped all semblance of control over the world's supply.
Torn by a new war between its de facto leader, Saudi Arabia, and erstwhile rival Iran, the group failed to agree on a formal production target for the first time in its recent history in December.
The "overriding impression is one of indecision and, to some extent, powerlessness" says Jon Rigby at UBS.
"The group is not in control of the market or indeed its own production levels, and hence is largely irrelevant"...

The Danger of Partial No-go Zones to Europe

The Danger of Partial No-go Zones to Europe :: Daniel Pipes
Partial no-go zones in majority-Muslim areas are a part of the urban landscape from the Mediterranean to the Baltic, with the French government alone counting 751 of them.
This shirking of responsibility foreshadows catastrophe and calls for immediate reversal.
I call the bad parts of Europe's cities partial no-go zones because ordinary people in ordinary clothing at ordinary times can enter and leave them without trouble.
But they are no-go zones in the sense that representatives of the state – police especially but also firefighters, meter-readers, ambulance attendants, and social workers – can only enter with massed power for temporary periods of time.
If they disobey this basic rule (as I learned first-hand in Marseille), they are likely to be swarmed, insulted, threatened, and even attacked.

This situation needs not exist.
Host societies can say no to the poor, crime-ridden, violent, and rebellious areas emerging in their midst.
But, if governments need not abdicate control, why do they do so?
Because of a fervent, slightly desperate hope to avoid confrontation.
Multicultural policies offer the illusion of sidestepping anything that might be construed as "racist" or "Islamophobic."
This abandonment is no minor aberration but a decision with grave consequences – consequences far deeper than, say, not controlling a crime-ridden American city like East St. Louis.
That's because Muslim quasi-no-go zones fit into a far larger political context, with dual Western and Islamic dimensions.
Other Islamic no-go zones also exist. 
Before losing power in 1887, the Muslim rulers of Harar, Somalia, for centuries insisted (in the words of a British officer) on the "the exclusion of all travellers not of the Moslem faith."
In like spirit, women in hijabs scream at non-Muslim visitors to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to make them feel unwelcome and so stay away.
In the West, lawful Muslim-only enclaves represent one drive for Muslim autonomy and sovereignty; the Muslims of America organization, with its 15 or so no-go compounds bristling with arms and hostility on private property dotted around the United States, represents another..."

Senator Rand Paul Introduces the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act - Eagle Rising

Senator Rand Paul Introduces the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act - Eagle Rising:

"Kentucky Senator Rand Paul today introduced the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act, which would cancel and forbid funding any of Obama’s executive orders on gun control if they undermine the powers reserved for Congress under the Constitution.

Paul’s decision to introduce the Act (which should be unnecessary considering what the Bill of Rights has to say about gun ownership) is an effort to preempt Obama’s planned “executive action” on guns."

"In a time in which more anti-gun politicians are calling for more gun control laws, sheriffs across the country are calling for more concealed carry permit holders to carry more regularly in order to stop crime and terrorist attacks.
In a span of just 5 days we have examples of at least 4 cases in which violent crimes were stopped because of a good guy with a gun.
The first instance was on December 22nd when a couple used a Craigslist ad to lure unsuspecting buyers and then rob them at gunpoint.   
The only problem was that these would-be-buyers were armed."

Bloomberg Business: Executive Gun Control Coming 'Soon After New Year's Day'

Bloomberg Business: Executive Gun Control Coming 'Soon After New Year's Day' - Breitbart:
"On December 28 Bloomberg Business explained what form Obama’s executive action on gun control will take and predicted it will come “soon after New Year’s Day.”
Breitbart News previously reported that the executive gun control was expected to be an expansion of background checks to cover gun shows or to cover more private sales by changing the legal language relating to private gun owners who sell firearms from their “personal collection,” the way Americans have been doing since 1791.
Bloomberg Business believes Obama has settled on going around Congress to expand background checks by changing the way current law covers private gun owners who sell guns.
This approach allows Obama to kill two birds with one stone by expanding background checks to cover more private sales in a way that will also expand checks to private sellers at gun shows.
Would such an expansion have stopped high profile shootings like the Colorado Springs Halloween attack, the Umpqua Community College attack, the August on-air shooting of a reporter and cameraman in Virginia, or the Lafayette theater attack? 
No.
Because all the gunmen and alleged gunmen in these instances passed background checks for their firearms.
Would such an expansion have stopped the San Bernardino terror attack? 
No.
Because Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik acquired their handguns legally–i.e., background checks–and their rifles were acquired legally by Enrique Marquez.
Yet Obama is determined to expand background checks... "

Mosque Linked To Muslim Brotherhood Has Received Fed Grants

Mosque Linked To Muslim Brotherhood Has Received Fed Grants | The Daily Caller:
"A Kansas City mosque owned by an Islamic umbrella organization with deep ties to the U.S. arm of the Muslim Brotherhood has received millions of dollars in federal grants over the past several years, according to a federal spending database.
The Islamic Center of Greater Kansas City has received $2,739,891 from the Department of Agriculture since 2010, a Daily Caller analysis has found.
The money largely went to the mosque’s Crescent Clinic to provide services through the Women, Infant and Children nutrition program, known as WIC.
The most recent federal payment — in the amount of $327,436 — was handed out Oct. 1.
Property records show the mosque is owned by the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), which acts as a financial holding company for Islamic organizations.
It offers sharia-compliant financial products to Muslim investors, operates Islamic schools and owns more than 300 other mosques throughout the U.S...."
