AP: California's Extreme Gun Control Failed - Breitbart
AP: California's Extreme Gun Control Failed - Breitbart:
"On December 6 the Associated Press pointed out that California’s aggressive gun control laws–expanded background checks, heavy regulations on “assault weapons,” and other regulations–all proved impotent to stop the San Bernardino terror attacks.
Breitbart News previously reported that the expanded background checks failed to make a difference, yet Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and other Democrats responded to the San Bernardino attacks by pushing to expand background checks in every state."

Feedin' the animals!-----11-foot gator eats burglary suspect hiding in Florida pond
11-foot gator eats burglary suspect hiding in Florida pond - WPEC-TV CBS12 News :: News - Top Stories:"BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Authorities say a burglary suspect was killed by an 11-foot gator while hiding from authorities in a Florida pond.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office says 22-year-old Matthew Riggins drowned as a result of the gator attack.
Riggins and another suspect were in a neighborhood in Barefoot Bay to burglarize homes, Brevard County Sheriff's officials say. Riggins and the other man were spotted on Royal Palm Boulevard, but eluded authorities. Riggins nor the other man were never located by deputies.
Riggins reportedly called his girlfriend to say he was being chased by authorities.
His girlfriend called police the next day to report him missing when he never returned home, Brevard Sheriff's officials say.
The half eaten body of Riggins was found in a Barefoot Bay lake just north of Ocean Avenue Way on Nov. 23.
He was missing his lower extremities and part of his arm, deputies told the Orlando Sentinel..."
FAIL!-----Where a Wrong Answer Can be Right and the Right Answer Can Be Wrong
Where a Wrong Answer Can be Right and the Right Answer Can Be Wrong | Somewhat Reasonable
"Another Common Core-aligned math problem is going viral.
This time a 3rd grade math problem was marked as incorrect even though the student found the correct answer.
On the other hand, submissions with the wrong answer have been counted right.
The question asked the student to find the result of 5 multiplied by 3, using the “repeated addition strategy.”
The student wrote “5+5+5” and correctly found the answer to be 15.
Apparently, this strategy didn’t fit with the Common Core-established method for teaching multiplication, so the teacher punished the student for getting the right answer in a way not prescribed.
In problem number 2, the student was asked to solve 4 multiplied by 6.
The child created an array with four columns of ones and six rows of ones.
With this array, the student provided the correct answer of 24.
The teacher again punished the student for getting the right answer in a different manner, wanting six columns of ones and four rows of ones.
NBC Chicago reported, “The new math methods are in response to the Common Core States Standards Initiative launched in 2009.
It focuses on more critical thinking and less on memorization.”
That report is inaccurate.
First, these math methods have been around for more than two decades, under names such as New Math, Fuzzy Math, Everyday Math, and Chicago Math. Second, Common Core was created before 2009, as its own supporters claim.
Third, the critical thinking talking point is an excuse to prevent accountability for teaching methods and results.
This talking point also defies logic because, as this math problem shows, many Common Core teachers want only one method to be taught for calculating the correct answer, regardless of the critical thinking utilized by the student.
When a student uses his or her own strategy to come to the right answer, isn’t that an example of the kind of “critical thinking” Common Core is supposed to be promoting?..."

"The incident occurred yesterday when the man – a Jordanian with an American passport – began to scream that he wished to join Allah and had to be restrained.
Crew and passengers, which included the Serbian national handball team, lended their efforts to keeping the man restrained on Flight 1406, an Airbus A319 before he was arrested upon landing in Serbia."

You Persians! OUT!!!-----Carter Banned Iranians from Coming to US During Hostage Crisis
Carter Banned Iranians from Coming to US During Hostage Crisis | Frontpage Mag:
"Trump is a monster, a madman and a vile racist.
He's just like Hitler.
Or Jimmy Carter.
During the Iranian hostage crisis, Carter issued a number of orders to put pressure on Iran.
Among these, Iranians were banned from entering the United States unless they oppose the Shiite Islamist regime or had a medical emergency.
Here's Jimmy "Hitler" Carter saying it back in 1980.
Fourth, the Secretary of Treasury [State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.
Apparently barring people from a terrorist country is not against "our values" after all.
It may even be "who we are".
Either that or Carter was a racist monster just like Trump.
Meanwhile here's how the Iranian students in the US were treated.
Carter orders 50,000 Iranian students in US to report to immigration office with view to deporting those in violation of their visas.
On 27 December 1979, US appeals court allows deportation of Iranian students found in violation.
In November 1979, the Attorney General had given all Iranian students one month to report to the local immigration office. Around 7,000 were found in violation of their visas.
Around 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the US.
Meanwhile any Iranians entering the US were forced to undergo secondary screening.
Interestingly enough, Carter did this by invoking the Nationality Act of 1952.
A law originally opposed by Democrats for its attempt to restrict Communist immigration to the United States.
“If this oasis of the world should be overrun, perverted, contaminated, or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity will be extinguished,” Senator McCarran said of the law.
He was a Democrat..."

Here Are Some Budget 'Life Hacks' the Government Should Use
Here Are Some Budget 'Life Hacks' the Government Should Use:
"The holiday season is fast upon us—that time of year when Americans across the country gather ’round the warm glow of their computer screens and try to figure out how on earth they are going to balance their budgets.
Political debates can seem a long way away when you’re in a room alone with your credit card bill, but commonsense policy reforms at every level of government could save Americans money.
I looked at dozens of studies and did some math of my own, and I found that just 12 important reforms could save the average American household $4,440 every year.
Some of those savings would come from lower prices on everyday purchases, such as food and gas; some would come on big-ticket items, such as cars and houses.
Two federal reforms could lower the price of gas by 31 cents per gallon.
Repealing the 1975 crude oil export ban would allow U.S. oil to be shipped to the refineries that are best equipped to turn it into gasoline for American travelers, thus lowering the price.
Congress recently passed a bill that would lift the ban, but President Barack Obama has threatened to veto it.
The second reform that would save Americans money on gas is to end the failed experiment with corn-based ethanol.
The ethanol mandate, officially known as the Renewable Fuel Standard, dilutes gasoline with ethanol, which is less efficient and costs more.
Not only would repeal of the ethanol mandate lower the price of gas by 19 cents a gallon, but it would also save the average household $1.65 a week on groceries by letting farms do what they do best: grow food.
Two other reforms would lower the cost of a new car by $5,750...."

Few Extremists in Islam -- That's a Myth
Few Extremists in Islam -- That's a Myth| National Review Online
It is simply false to declare that jihadists represent the “tiny few extremists” who sully the reputation of an otherwise peace-loving and tolerant Muslim faith.
In reality, the truth is far more troubling — that jihadists represent the natural and inevitable outgrowth of a faith that is given over to hate on a massive scale, with hundreds of millions of believers holding views that Americans would rightly find revolting.
Not all Muslims are hateful, of course, but so many are that it’s not remotely surprising that the world is wracked by wave after wave of jihadist violence.
To understand the Muslim edifice of hate, imagine it as a pyramid — with broadly-shared bigotry at the bottom, followed by stair steps of escalating radicalism — culminating in jihadist armies that in some instances represent a greater share of their respective populations than does the active-duty military in the United States.
The base of the pyramid, the most broadly held hatred in the Islamic world, is anti-Semitism, with staggering numbers of Muslims expressing anti-Jewish views.
In 2014, the Anti-Defamation League released the results of polling 53,100 people in 102 countries for evidence of anti-Semitic attitudes and beliefs.
The numbers from the majority-Muslim world are difficult to believe for those steeped in politically correct rhetoric about Islam.
A full 74 percent of North African and Middle Eastern residents registered anti-Semitic beliefs, including 92 percent of Iraqis, a whopping 69 percent of relatively secular Turks, and 74 percent of Saudis.
...The latest polling data show that while a majority of Muslims reject ISIS, extrapolating from the populations of polled countries alone shows that roughly 50 million people express sympathy for a terrorist army that burns prisoners alive, throws gay men from buildings, and beheads political opponents.
In Pakistan a horrifying 72 percent couldn’t bring themselves to express an unfavorable view of ISIS.
...Islam has a problem. It is Muslims’ responsibility to reform their own faith. It is America’s responsibility to defend itself and its citizens. Neither goal is advanced by telling convenient, politically correct lies. After 14 years of war, can we finally tell the truth?

Media Fail: 61% Opposed Obama's Refugee Program - Prior to San Bernardino! - Breitbart:
"ISIS has promised to seed Syrian refugees with terrorists, and in the wake of the Paris terror attacks, a majority of Americans decided it was wise to suspend the Syrian refugee program. The backlash from our arrogant, bubble-dumb DC Media was immediate: For weeks we were attacked as racists. The good news is that a new poll taken by CNN proves once again that the DC Media no longer has the power it once did to sway public opinion.
A full 61% oppose Obama’s refugee program. Only 38% approve.
Not only did the DC Media fail to emotionally blackmail good old common sense Americans into agreeing to a suicidal refugee program, the worst news for the media is that the CNN poll was taken before the recent terror attack in San Bernardino."

Ralph Peters on Fox News: Let’s face it, Obama is a “total pussy”; Update: Suspended two weeks « Hot Air:Via the Free Beacon.
A total pussy?
That seems harsh.
Just because a guy won’t use the phrase “radical Islam” and sets “red lines” he has no intention of enforcing and claims the enemy is “contained” when it clearly isn’t and fights a half-assed war from the air against a spreading “caliphate” and doesn’t respond when Russia bombs our rebel proxies and tries to blame his critics for his failed policy and seems to relish scolding Americans more than performing his official duties and…
Wait, where I was going with this again?
And that’s just Syria.
I haven’t even mentioned the catastrophic deal with Iran that’s going to make them a nuclear threshold state in 15 years.
Sometimes, my friends, a phrase like “low energy” just won’t cut it.
Hey, he’ll always have the Bin Laden raid."

Report: Weapons Of Mass Destruction Have Been Smuggled Into Europe: "Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear":
"Following the Paris terrorist attack we noted that it was only the beginning and more carnage is coming.
While thus far attacks on Western targets have been limited to lone wolves or small groups of individuals using traditional weapons like firearms and improvised explosive devices, a new report from the European Parliament compiled in the aftermath of last month’s attack warns that the next wave could come in the form of highly destructive weapons designed to kill significantly larger amounts of people.

MUST SEE!!-----FL sheriff: Armed citizens ‘first line of defense’ against terrorists
FL sheriff: Armed citizens ‘first line of defense’ against terrorists | The American Mirror
A Florida sheriff is encouraging residents with guns to prepare mentally and physically as the first line of defense against terrorists.
Brevard County, Florida sheriff Wayne Ivey posted a 7 minute video to Facebook today calling on armed citizens to defend their community against active shooters and other terrorist situations – a rally call that was also submitted to Florida Today as an editorial.
The message touches on recent terrorist attacks and condemns politically correct politicians that he believes enables terrorists to repeatedly attack and kill innocent people.
Ivey encourages decision makers to talk straight with the public, to confront terrorists, and asks the public to prepare for the possibility of violent confrontations by arming themselves with weapons and knowledge.
.
“The purpose of this … is to tell our citizens that if a terrorist attack or active shooter scenario can happen in California, Texas, South Carolina, or Paris, it can happen right here in our own back yard,”
“Now, more than ever before is the time for law enforcement and our citizens to be fully prepared to immediately respond to an attack or active shooter scenario with the right tools to eliminate, or at the very least disrupt the attack.
“It is a known fact that the best law enforcement agencies in the country have response times in minutes, yet violent criminals can take our lives in seconds.
Law enforcement officers in San Bernardino arrived on scene about 4 minutes after the incident was first reported. Even with that incredible response time, they arrived to find too many dead or critically wounded,” he said.
...“So let there be no mistake in what I am about to say … the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” Ivey said.
“If you are a person who is legally licensed to carry a firearm, now is the time more than ever to realize that you and you alone may very well be the first line of defense for you, your family, and others around you in a terrorist or active shooter based scenario.
...“I am no way suggesting that we as citizens take on a vigilante role.
What I am saying is that we need to be mentally and physically prepared to respond to an attack so we can effectively defend and protect ourselves in an emergency,” he said.
To that end, Ivey called on military veterans and “other incredible citizen heros” to confront terrorist when they strike if necessary, and provided several steps the public can take to avoid harm during an attack.
As a last resort, “there’s only one other option,” he said, “to fight with every ounce of passion you have...””
