This General Will Probably Be FIRED For What He Just Said About Obama... He Doesn't Care
This General Will Probably Be FIRED For What He Just Said About Obama... He Doesn't Care:
"It’s not the first time senior military officials have clashed with Obama. By the look of things, Kelly’s comments could make him a target of the Obama administration — but it seems clear he’s more willing to tell America the truth than keep his job at any cost.
If only we had more officials like him, perhaps Obama’s social engineering of the military wouldn’t have happened in the first place."

SolarCity and the Silver Spoon
SolarCity and the Silver Spoon - NetRight Daily
If you own a business — maybe a taco stand, a dress shop, or an insurance agency — you know it takes a lot of hard work, good market analysis, a better product or service than your competition, and advertising.
Add in a bit of luck, and you hope to grow your business — though vacant storefronts and boarded up buildings in towns and cities across America show that isn’t always enough. Each going-out-of-business sale represents the death of someone’s dream.
If, however, you are a politically favored business — say solar — your story is different.
Your growth is dependent on government generosity.
And, when people, who may never buy your product or use your service, balk at underwriting your venture and convince their Congressmen to take away the taxpayer largesse, like a badly behaved toddler, you threaten to take your marbles and go home—leaving former staffers unemployed and customers without service.
Such is the story of SolarCity — which has taken advantage of the favored status and bilked government programs to grow into being the nation’s largest installer of rooftop solar panels.
Despite that distinction, SolarCity still loses millions of dollars.
SolarCity doesn’t manufacturer solar panels — though, thanks to $750 million in funding from New York’s taxpayers — that will soon change....”

Imagine That: Supposedly Mythical 'No-Go Zones' Are Back in the News — But Not at U.S. Media Outlets
Imagine That: Supposedly Mythical 'No-Go Zones' Are Back in the News — But Not at U.S. Media Outlets:
Despite reports and statements containing the term coming out of Germany during the past week, searches at the Associated Press on "no-go zones," and even on "no-go," return nothing.
The New York Times has no recent report identifying European no-go zones, but has at least demonstrated that it might be getting over its nearly allergic reaction to the term by observing that parts of Ramadi, Iraq recently liberated from Islamic State control are "no-go zones because they have yet to be searched for booby traps left by the jihadists."
Despite reports and statements containing the term coming out of Germany during the past week, searches at the Associated Press on "no-go zones," and even on "no-go," return nothing.
"No-go zones" again became news because, despite U.S. media outlets continued denial of their existence, several officials in Germany once again used the term.
After the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris a year ago, Andrew McCarthy usefully and succinctly described no-go zones as follows:
Islamic enclaves ... (in France are) referred to as "no go zones" because the indigenous populations discourage the presence of non-Muslims who do not conform to Islamic standards of dress and social interaction, and of public officials - police, fire-fighters, emergency medical teams, and building inspectors - who are seen as symbols of the state's effort to exercise sovereignty in areas Muslims seek to possess adversely.
...Yet the term "no-go zone" has been virtually blacklisted by the U.S. establishment press..."
Not good-----Bottom falls out on oil, commodities, stocks
Bottom falls out on oil, commodities, stocks - NetRight Daily
West Texas intermediate oil is crashing through its $30 a barrel support level in search of a new bottom, amid the ongoing correction in China, weak demand globally and no signs of production slowing down.
While that is generally good news for consumers of products like gasoline, the worst may be yet to come for oil producers, not just overseas in Saudi Arabia, Iran or Russia, but also including those domestic producers who have been at the heart of the oil shale hydraulic fracturing boom.
Overall, crude is more than 73 percent off its previous high of $116.32 in April 2011.
The $30 support level is already worse than during the financial crisis, when it bottomed at about $39 a barrel in Feb. 2009.
How low could oil go?
“Three major investment banks — Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. — now expect the price of oil to crash through the $30 threshold and into $20 territory in short order,” reports the Wall Street Journal’s Bradley Olson and Erin Ailworth.
$20 a barrel for oil?
Yikes.
Those are levels not seen since the early 2000s, right at the beginning of the commodities boom that was led by the rapid expansion in emerging markets like China, Brazil and others.
Now that those emerging markets are in a full scale correction, it appears the price of oil is finally reverting to the mean.
But, it’s not just oil.
Food is dropping too.
...With everything seemingly moving in a single direction, perhaps that is why the Royal Bank of Scotland recently issued a client note stating, “Sell everything except high quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small.”...

BREAKING: US Senate Makes Major Announcement That Concealed Carriers Will LOVE:
"With nearly 1.4 million new concealed carry permits being issued each year, it only makes sense that a national reciprocity law be enacted to protect law-abiding holders of CCW permits to cross freely from one state to another without worrying about breaking neighboring state’s gun laws.
Thanks to the newly GOP Senate, such a law could become a reality soon. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn will reintroduce the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act which would allow permit-holding gun owners to carry and lawfully in other states that have concealed carry laws."

San Francisco moves to mandate gender neutral bathrooms
San Francisco moves to mandate gender neutral bathrooms « Hot Air:
Upon reading the headline,
I’m guessing that the first reaction among many of you was something along the lines of, What? You mean they didn’t already?
Because if there’s one place in the country which has traditionally been on the forefront of the SJW movement it’s San Francisco.
How did they not already have a sizable tranche of laws in place mandating what people do in bathrooms, showers and locker rooms?
But shocking as it may seem, they didn’t, and the City Supervisor is on the job, setting things to rights. (Time Magazine)
On Monday, San Francisco Supervisor David Campos took the first substantive steps toward changing that when he announced plans to introduce a bill that would make many city bathrooms gender-neutral.
The measure would mandate that all single-occupancy bathrooms in the city be relabeled as places for all genders, rather than solely “men” or “women,” and that new buildings constructed in the city have a gender-neutral bathroom on each floor. The bill would also go beyond similar laws in other cities by putting in place sweeping enforcement mechanisms, including a complaint process handled by the Human Rights Commission, an LGBT rights organization, and adding these facilities as a standard checklist item for building inspections.
The measure, which is expected to pass easily, will add San Francisco alongside Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington, D.C., West Hollywood, Calif. and Austin, Texas, to the list of cities with gender-neutral bathroom provisions.
This is one of those good news bad news stories and anyone who’s been following the parallel battles around the nation can likely spot the fly in Dave Campos’ ointment right out of the gate.
First the good news: if this is implemented as worded it’s really of no matter to anyone and won’t cause any problems.
The wording of the proposal simply says that a single user bathroom which is unisex must be provided in government and public spaces.
So what?
Do you know what the difference is between a ladies room with a single stall / sink and a gender neutral bathroom with one stall and sink?
You tear the sign off the door.
When the door is locked it’s occupied.
When it’s not, you open the door, go inside, lock the door and use it regardless of your gender.
No fuss.
No muss.
No problem.
My doctor’s office has two of them just like that and it’s never been an issue.
Now for the bad news.
The Social Justice Warriors will never in a million years be satisfied with that type of statute and Campos is probably already getting an earful over it.
You see, the San Francisco proposal is far too sensible..."

LIBERTY REVIEW
LIBERTY REVIEW:
http://www.libertyreview76.blogspot.com/2016/01/january-13-2016-cry-baby-in-chief-by.html
The executive has dazzled his followers into believing that
everything he says is true. If anything,
we should have learned that every statement he makes should be considered
highly suspicious and questionable. Unfortunately,
he is rarely questioned. If he were, he
would have been exposed for the charlatan he is, a long time ago. The press has only helped with the deception
by not pressing him for the truth.
Instead, the executive enjoys cream puff questions with no substance. Unchallenged statements become facts much
like false statements become truth simply because they are continuously
repeated.
This was a performance worth watching....

Cry Baby In Chief
By Tammy Derouin
The executive certainly isn’t wasting any time, is he? The lame wolf has predictably shown his great
big eyes, ears, teeth… i.e., his intentions, all the better to devour us and
our Constitution.
Just when you think a new low cannot be achieved, Viola! The
wolf reaches into his hat of magical tricks to hypnotize and paralyze his
dependent audience. Those who are
continuously dazzled by his smoke and mirror act can no longer see true
reality. The side effects of buying into so many illusions without questioning
the consequences is that eventually you are convinced that the suffocating
smoke is necessary to survive and the clean, clear air is destructive.

His latest stunt is an embarrassing low. This past week the executive officially
became the Cry Baby In Chief. He will
stop at nothing to impose his will. If
you didn’t see his latest attempt to undermine our Constitution, you missed
quite the performance. He mocked human
emotions and intelligence by manufacturing fake tears in yet another attempt to
destroy our Second Amendment rights.
The Why Questions
The Why Questions | The Z Blog:
I’ve had some exposure to corporate security and one of the things I’ve noticed is that much of it is based on what I think of as the “why questions.”
The protection of things like data is based on thinking about why someone would want the data.
The more obvious the answer the more obvious the reason to guard the data.
Banks put money in vaults because it is obvious why people would steal it.
On the other hand, the great capers are often based on going against the grain of the why questions. For example, why would anyone break into the office of a psychiatrist?
There’s no obvious answer so in most cases the offices are not secure.
Dr. Lewis Fielding’s office was burgled in 1971, because one of his patients was Daniel Ellsberg, a notorious enemy of the people, who was in league with lunatics trying to bring down the government.
This caper from Wall Street is another good example of how “why” questions control how people guard information.
You can be sure there was not a lot of people wondering why hackers would steal press releases, but now we know why and you can be sure the security of such things will be much higher.
The other value of focusing on why questions, one useful for reading the news, is to see who in the press is asking or even thinking about the why questions in a story.
The proof that our press is mostly a public relations department is that they never ask the people in charge a why question.
They don’t want to know why.
The Hillary e-mail story is a great example of what I’m getting at with the why questions.
The only question to be asked of Hillary and her flaks is “Why did she create a secret, off-the-books, email server?”
The facts show there was a rush to create this thing in time for her to start at the State Department. That was not a random act.
There’s a reason and knowing the reason is pretty much the entire story.
Now, normal people familiar with the Imperial Capital think they know the answer.
She wanted to avoid FOIA requests and Congressional oversight.
This has become so common in DC with the bureaucracy that it is fair to call it normal.
When the people in the Borg are plotting malice or mischief, they do it through private chat, e-mail and even Facebook.
Big fish do it strictly to avoid Congress, which is a violation of law by itself..."

Warmest Year on Record Is Still Bad News for Climate Models
Warmest Year on Record Is Still Bad News for Climate Models | Cato @ Liberty
"Yesterday, Jason Samenow of the Washington Post asked me for a brief comment on NOAA’s upcoming pronouncement of the warmest year in their record.
Jason runs CapitalWeather (or “CapitalWeatherGang” or “CWG” to those in the know in Washington) for the Post, and it is a very popular site as he may be the best forecaster around when it comes to D.C.’s hard-to-predict winter weather.
Here is what I sent to him:
Whether or not a given year is a hundredth of a degree or so above a previous record is not the issue. What IS the issue is how observed temperatures compare to what has been forecast to happen. John Christy and Richard McNider, from the University of Alabama (Huntsville), recently compared climate model projections to observed lower atmospheric temperatures as measured by two independent sources: satellites and weather balloons, and they found that the average warming predicted to have occurred since 1979 (when the satellite data starts) is approximately three times larger than what is being observed.
CWG would give itself probably a D- if it forecast 12 inches of snow and got only 3.
FYI, here’s the comparison, through 2013 (it was published in 2014).

Building off the National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre’s famous statement that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” the news station decided to put a group of “good guys” to the test and enlisted the help of Shawn Clary, a SWAT team member and tactical instructor with 22 years experience as a “bad guy.”
Electronic Doomsday for the US?
Electronic Doomsday for the US?:
The recent North Korean nuclear and the Iranian ballistic missile tests are serious deadly threats to the United States. North Korea's latest bomb test is being widely dismissed by "experts" because the apparent yield is around 10 kilotons or less – which just so happens to be exactly the right amount for an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) explosion.
- An EMP attack on the U.S. would leave the country with no electricity, no communications, no transportation, no fuel, no food, and no running water.
- "Our increasing dependence on advanced electronics systems results in the potential for an increased EMP vulnerability... and if unaddressed makes EMP employment by an adversary an attractive asymmetric option." — EMP Commission
- The recent military writings and exercises of potential adversaries would combine EMP with cyber-attacks, sabotage, and kinetic attacks against the national electric grid and other critical infrastructures.

School replaces MLK Day holiday with seminars on racial identity, privilege, Islamophobia
School replaces MLK Day holiday with seminars on racial identity, privilege, Islamophobia - The College Fix:
New Trier High School, one of the nation’s top public schools located in Chicago’s posh North Sore, will not have the day off on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day unlike other schools in its district.
That’s because New Trier’s entire day will be devoted to “develop[ing] a deeper understanding of their own racial identities and the identities of others, and to better understand how we can all work to counter the impact of systemic racism in our lives,” according to the school’s website.
Students at the school’s two campuses will get to choose from numerous seminars which, according to Breitbart.com, are “provocative and highly political.”
Some of the workshops include:
— The Truth about Ferguson: The Investigation into the Death of Michael Brown
— Why Do I Have to Feel Guilty for Being White?
— Unconscious Perceptions of Race
— Disney and the Creation of Racial Identity
— Representations of the Middle East: Stereotypes and Islamophobia
— What is Your Privilege?
— Yer’ A White Wizard, Harry: Whitewashing in Cinema
Another seminar called “Western Bias in Science” asks “Were all of the great discoveries in science made by Greeks and Europeans?” and then has participants “[e]xplore the impact of our western bias in the history of science in this discussion session...”

How Many Agents Are Working Hillary’s Corruption Case? The Number Will Stun You. | Daily Wire
The FBI's corruption case on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is back in the headlines, with the latest development being the number of agents on her case.
Former federal prosecutor Joseph DiGenova, who has sources in the FBI, told The Washington Examiner that there are 150 FBI agents on Clinton's case, which he described as "a very unusually high number."
DiGenova also told the Examiner that the FBI "is presently preparing subpoenas for the [Clinton] foundation's financial records, among other pieces of evidence."
He predicted that Attorney General Loretta Lynch would be forced to indict Clinton as a result of pressure from the FBI..."

The Story Behind the Worst Movie on IMDb
The Story Behind the Worst Movie on IMDb | FiveThirtyEight:
What’s the worst movie in history?
“Battlefield Earth,” featuring John Travolta as a dreadlocked alien (IMDb rating: 2.4)?
“Troll 2,” a non-sequel featuring no trolls (IMDb score: 2.6)?
“Ishtar,” the only movie for rent in Hell’s video store (IMDb score: 4.1)?
Perhaps it’s “Gigli” (IMDb score: 2.3), the movie that ruined (the first) Bennifer for all of us?
According to voters on the Internet Movie Database, it’s none of the above.
With a dreadful weighted rating of 1.4 out of 10 based on more than 44,000 votes, a 2014 Bollywood movie called “Gunday” is by far the worst movie in the IMDb universe.1
A pretty silly, over-the-top Bollywood action flick about gun couriers that features a love triangle and lots of comical misunderstandings typical to the genre, “Gunday” has somehow found its way to the bottom of the biggest movie database in the world.
That bottom is very far down.
There are currently more than 235,000 films on IMDb...
But the film made a misstep that has doomed it to the bottom of the IMDb pile.
“Gunday” offended a huge, sensitive, organized and social-media-savvy group of people who were encouraged to mobilize to protest the movie by giving it the lowest rating possible on IMDb...
The protest against “Gunday” is the most recent cause célèbre of a Bangladeshi nationalist movement called Gonojagoron Moncho, or National Awakening Stage.

What’s the worst movie in history?
“Battlefield Earth,” featuring John Travolta as a dreadlocked alien (IMDb rating: 2.4)?
“Troll 2,” a non-sequel featuring no trolls (IMDb score: 2.6)?
“Ishtar,” the only movie for rent in Hell’s video store (IMDb score: 4.1)?
Perhaps it’s “Gigli” (IMDb score: 2.3), the movie that ruined (the first) Bennifer for all of us?
According to voters on the Internet Movie Database, it’s none of the above.
With a dreadful weighted rating of 1.4 out of 10 based on more than 44,000 votes, a 2014 Bollywood movie called “Gunday” is by far the worst movie in the IMDb universe.1A pretty silly, over-the-top Bollywood action flick about gun couriers that features a love triangle and lots of comical misunderstandings typical to the genre, “Gunday” has somehow found its way to the bottom of the biggest movie database in the world.
That bottom is very far down.
There are currently more than 235,000 films on IMDb...
But the film made a misstep that has doomed it to the bottom of the IMDb pile.
“Gunday” offended a huge, sensitive, organized and social-media-savvy group of people who were encouraged to mobilize to protest the movie by giving it the lowest rating possible on IMDb...
The protest against “Gunday” is the most recent cause célèbre of a Bangladeshi nationalist movement called Gonojagoron Moncho, or National Awakening Stage.
Gonojagoron Moncho was founded in response to the trial of Abdul Quader Molla, a Bangladeshi Islamist leader who last year was found guilty of killing hundreds of civilians as part of a paramilitary wing during Bangladesh’s liberation war from Pakistan in 1971..."

Tough-guy Thomas Jefferson crushed Muslim terrorists
Tough-guy Thomas Jefferson crushed Muslim terrorists:"While Muslim terrorists kidnapped and killed innocent people around the world as they do today, Thomas Jefferson knew exactly how to end radical Islam’s bloodshed – with a classic American take-no-prisoners smackdown.
President Jefferson refused to play games when given the choice of appeasement or confrontation in the face of terror."
