‘The Storm Is Coming’: Famed Preacher Reveals the One Thing Obama Is Doing That He Believes Will Lead to Christian Persecution in America | Video | TheBlaze.com:
"Famed evangelist Franklin Graham issued a warning about the coming “storm of Islam” during a recent appearance on the Christian Broadcast Network’s “700 Club,” claiming that President Barack Obama is “very sympathetic to Islam” and that his policies will lead to the persecution of Christians in the United States.
“We’re going to see persecution, I believe, in this country, because our president is very sympathetic to Islam and the reason I say that … is because his father was a Muslim, gave him a Muslim name, Barack Hussein Obama,” said Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham.
“His mother married another Muslim man, they moved to Indonesia, he went to Indonesian schools.”

OMG! Hill has lost MSNBC!!-----MSNBC Host: No Reason For Hillary To Use Personal Email

MSNBC Host: No Reason For Hillary To Use Personal Email | The Daily Caller:
"In the wake of The New York Times report Monday night that Hillary Clinton used a personal email rather than an official State Department address during her tenure as secretary of state, one MSNBC host slammed the presumptive 2016 nominee’s decision.
In the immediate aftermath, a baffled Lawrence O’Donnell said there is “no conceivable rational explanation” for the former secretary to “legitimately” use a personal email in absence of an official State Department one.
“This is not a senior official at the Environmental Protection Agency or the Department of Agriculture.
This is the secretary of state using a not secure commercial email system,” O’Donnell said.
“I just think there is something more going on here because it just raises so many questions,” said MSNBC analyst Beth Fouhy.
"Where were the State Department lawyers who allowed this to go forward?
Where were the top diplomats in other countries receiving these emails from HRC@yahoo.com or something like that saying ‘wait a minute, this can’t possibly be an official missive from the secretary of state of the United States.’”
“She is a very secretive person, there’s no question about it,” Fouhy said.
“For her to just willingly violate it to just to preserve some semblance of privacy really makes no sense.”
“Well, if it’s true that she never used a State Department email address, we have something that at first read has no conceivable rational explanation to it that is legitimate,” O’Donnell said incredulously."

Obama Makes the Worst Trade in US History: Israel for Iran | TheBlaze.com

Obama Makes the Worst Trade in US History: Israel for Iran | TheBlaze.com:

"On the eve of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, a despicable and disastrous betrayal has become clear: President Barack Obama has traded Israel for Iran.

In the annals of the history of American foreign policy filled with pages of willful blindness, amorality and often State Department-led folly, there are few things more substantively and symbolically egregious than this fundamental transformation.

Consider the two nations of which we are speaking: One is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, run by genocidal jihadist theocrats who in their Twelver Shiite theology seek to bring on the apocalypse by destroying the cradle of world civilization. The other is a bastion of liberty, plurality, dynamism, creativity and innovation, despite being surrounded by myriad hostile regimes.

In a sane world, it would be unthinkable, unconscionable, and un-American for us to turn on the state of Israel – the front line of Western civilization against barbarians who seek to take us, and who are fast taking themselves, back to the seventh century."

‘This Is a Bad Deal’: Netanyahu Destroys Obama’s Emerging Nuclear Deal With Iran | TheBlaze.com:

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday delivered a sharp rebuke to President Barack Obama by telling Congress that an agreement being negotiated under Obama’s direction is a “bad deal” that won’t prevent a nuclear Iran, and would instead ensure Iran can develop a bomb.

“That’s why this deal is so bad,” he said. “It doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb, it paves Iran’s path to the bomb.”

Obamacare Sees Jump in Emergency Room Use

Obamacare Sees Jump in Emergency Room Use:

"Statistics reveal that emergency room visits are up and not decreasing as the president promised before Obamacare became the law of the land.

Ryan Allen, Emergency Medicine Service Line Director at Bakersfield Heart Hospital told 23 ABC Bakersfield that not only are ER room visits increasing, but lines are long. “Unfortunately it can take hours to be seen, because those patients who are possibly having a heart attack, they’re pushed in front.”

With increased numbers of insured Americans under Obamacare, more people are now using the emergency rooms. Obama touted that the additional policy holders would not need to resort to emergency rooms."

Revealed: Hillary Clinton Possibly Violated Federal Rules During Tenure as Secretary of State | TheBlaze.com:

"Hillary Clinton used only a personal email account to conduct official government business during her time as secretary of state, a move that possibly resulted in the violation of federal rules.

According to a New York Times report, Clinton never had a government email address during her four years at the State Department and her aides took no steps to archive her emails on the agency’s servers as required by the Federal Records Act.

The revelation only came to light after the House Benghazi committee requested Clinton’s correspondence in regards to the 2012 attacks. Clinton turned over approximately 300 emails to the committee that had all been sent on her personal address."

‘Marriage From Hell’: Are the Islamic State and Boko Haram Preparing to Form an Allegiance? | TheBlaze.com

‘Marriage From Hell’: Are the Islamic State and Boko Haram Preparing to Form an Allegiance? | TheBlaze.com:

"An alarm was sounded by at least one U.S. congresswoman last September that Nigerian terror group Boko Haram could “explode any day” and become a more dire danger. Months later, some experts are warning that the African terror group is adopting tactics used by the Islamic State and could end up forging an official connection with the militant group.

In fact, CNN’s Tim Lister wrote last week that there “are signs that Boko Haram — the most feared group in West Africa — may be edging toward a formal pledge of allegiance to the self-declared Caliph of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.”

Pure criminal cover-up--------DOJ Shut Down Search For Lerner's Emails

DOJ Shut Down Search For Lerner's Emails | The Daily Caller:
"The Obama administration’s Department of Justice shut down an attempt to force the Internal Revenue Service to search for Lois Lerner’s missing emails at off-site storage facilities.
The IRS never looked for Lerner’s backup email tapes at the West Virginia storage facility where they were being housed. Treasury deputy inspector general Timothy Camus told Congress that the IRS never asked IT professionals at the New Martinsville, W.V. storage site for the backup tapes. Camus only found the backup tape for Lerner’s missing 2011 emails about two weeks ago.
But the Obama administration knew that emails were stored at off-site facilities, and even shut down a legal request to send somebody to go look for them.
...“The Department of Justice lawyers objected to that and said I shouldn’t even be allowed to mention these off-site servers without sworn affidavits,” Mitchell told TheDC.
“They meant that I was trying to testify to the judge without bringing in witnesses with sworn affidavits.”"

Obama Unveils National ObamaPolicing Plan | The Daily Caller:

"Obama’s strategy matches the progressive playbook, which continuously expands progressives’ power by gradually adding more conditions to federal aid. That same strategy is implemented in education via the “Common Core” education plan, in the health-sector via Obamacare, in the banking industry via the mortgage rules that caused the damaging property bubble and in housing via Obama’s “regionalism” plan."

Lobbyists buying votes with your tax dollars. AGAIN!!----$125K in grants coming for Port of Muskegon from the West Michigan Prosperity Alliance

$125K in grants coming for Port of Muskegon from the West Michigan Prosperity Alliance | MLive.com:
 "MUSKEGON, MI - West Michigan officials are ready to spend $125,000 to study the best way to develop the Port of Muskegon.
The Port of Muskegon project made a short list of projects that the newly formed West Michigan Prosperity Alliance announced it would help fund.
The port was the alliance's top priority when members voted on 31 different projects back in October.
"Everyone in the 13-county region felt very strongly," said John Weiss, chairman of the West Michigan Prosperity Alliance.
The port is seen by many as an opportunity for shipping agriculture-related goods or even international shipping of manufactured products. "It was really seen as a job-builder for the entire West Michigan economy."
...The $125,000 would come from several sources: $31,250 from the West Michigan Prosperity Alliance, $62,500 from the state's Economic Development Administration and $31,250 from private donations."

...And he knows how to use them.

Government investigating professors who questioned climate change

Government investigating professors who questioned climate change:
The top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee is going on what many are calling a witch hunt against scholars who do not toe the line on climate change.
“Arizona Rep. Raúl Grijalva, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, sparked the … dispute by asking universities to turn over documents about grants, congressional testimony and other activities involving seven scientists who have testified at congressional climate hearings,” Politico reports.
Among those targeted is Pepperdine University Professor Steven Hayward, who wrote about receiving the demand letter from Grijalva on Power Line under the headline: “Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been a Climate Skeptic?”
Let’s start by axing a simple question: If I say “two plus two equals four,” does the truth of that proposition depend on whether I’ve received a grant from the Charles G. Koch Foundation? Apparently it does for Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) …
I’ve received—and am receiving—no grants, honoraria, consulting fees, good karma baubles, or even Christmas cards from any fossil fuel interest, though I’d be proud and open about it if I did. And I didn’t consult anyone for the content of my congressional testimony over the years, though so what if I had? Is the good congressman really telling us that he is incapable of assessing factual claims and judgments about the wisdom of policy on the merits alone? That doesn’t speak well of his probity.
Colorado-based KUSA-NBC news reports that the Democrat has also targeted CU Boulder Professor Roger Pielke, Jr. because he dared challenge an Obama administration belief on climate change. NBC reports:
Roger Pielke, Jr could hardly be described as a climate change denier. Pielke has called for a carbon tax to fund technological innovation and supported increased pollution regulations to push energy producers to develop cleaner fuels.

Obama "Very Interested" In Raising Taxes Through Executive Action

Obama "Very Interested" In Raising Taxes Through Executive Action - Conn Carroll:
"White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed Monday that President Obama is "very interested" in the idea of raising taxes through unitlateral executive action.
"The president certainly has not indicated any reticence in using his executive authority to try and advance an agenda that benefits middle class Americans," Earnest said in response to a question about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calling on Obama to raise more than $100 billion in taxes through IRS executive action.
"Now I don't want to leave you with the impression that there is some imminent announcement, there is not, at least that I know of," Earnest continued.
"But the president has asked his team to examine the array of executive authorities that are available to him to try to make progress on his goals.
So I am not in a position to talk in any detail at this point, but the president is very interested in this avenue generally," Earnest finished."
