US Needs to Get Real on Troubled Turkey

Caroline Glick; Why Turkey is gone for good   "Last Thursday, two Turkish businessmen stopped for lunch in a fish restaurant during a business trip to Edirne in the Babaeski region.
 
"At some point during their meal, the restaurant owner figured out that they were Jews.

"Rather than show them the hospitality Turkey is renowned for, he said he won’t serve Jews, and began cursing them and the Torah. He then took a long knife off the counter and threatened to kill them.

"The men ran for their lives.
...
This Turkish paper tells us that Obama likes and supports Erdogan along with his policies:  "Erdogan’s hatred of Jews, his authoritarian mindset and his Islamist ideology informed his decision to transform Turkey into one of the leading sponsors of terrorism. In addition to its massive support for Hamas, beginning in the 2006 First Lebanon War Turkey began providing assistance to Hezbollah.

"Then there is al-Qaida. Turkey has long harbored al-Qaida financiers. And according to IDF Intelligence head Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi, Turkey hosts three al-Qaida bases on its territory that enable terrorists to transit between Europe and Syria."
 
The upshot of all the aforementioned is that: US Needs to Get Real on Troubled Turkey   "Amid this new policy of positive outreach to its neighbors, the one relationship that suffered was that with Israel. Beginning in 2008 with Turkish anger about not being warned about the imminent Israeli Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, and continuing with a public disagreement between Erdoğan and Israeli President Shimon Peres in 2009, relations worsened until they were officially cut off by Ankara following the attempt by private Turkish ships to run Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip, in which Israeli soldiers killed nine Turks."

The Golden ‘Hillary Papers’ Egg

The Washington Free Beacon’s latest discovery is too much for the mainstream media to bear.
 
Matthew Continetti   ... What I did not expect was that the media would undergo such a tortured and dramatic breakdown, would struggle so laboriously to acknowledge the scoop while schizophrenically downplaying its importance. That a conservative online newspaper could have understood the significance of the archive, and actually examined its public contents, seemed too much an embarrassment for the staffs of the major newspapers and networks and magazines to bear. By being the first to report on the papers, the Free Beacon exposed the inanity and irrelevance of the mainstream media. We beat them. And they are sore losers." ...
 
 

Wendy Davis: Yes, she really said that

 
American Thinker  "Wendy Davis's quixotic campaign for Texas governor is getting more and more like some awful reality show, where everything goes wrong and the candidate can't help making gaffe after gaffe.

"Wendy's latest jaw dropper: Texas isn't really a red state."
 
 
Wendy Davis told the Austin American-Statesman newspaper on Wednesday that "Texas is not really a red state, it's just a non-voting state."

Wendy Davis: On second thought, it’d be impossible to craft an appropriate ban on abortion after 20 weeks  
 "She supports a ban in theory but in practice she wants the state to defer completely to women and their doctors when they invoke the health exceptions to it. In other words, if you say you’re exempt from the law, you are. Boehner should float that idea to Obama the next time he pushes a new assault-weapons ban. Compromise: Republicans will support the ban so long as it’s completely unenforceable. Don’t laugh — that’s basically the Democratic position on border security, no?"

Climate scientists slam Obama science czar’s ‘pseudo-science rambling’ on global warming

Daily Caller    "Two prominent climate scientists disagree. Former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer and University of Colorado climate scientist
Roger Pielke, Jr. slammed Holdren for his “pseudo-science rambling.”
 
" 'The idea that any of the weather we are seeing is in any significant way due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions verges on irrationality,” Spencer wrote in his blog.
 
"Pielke took to Twitter on Friday to slam Holdren for “zombie science” in the White House." 

Unvetted, untested and unelectable

Another of what Britt Hume calls the "zany candidates" that keep Republicans from beating the Democrats.
 
Jennifer Rubin  "This morning I note that the GOP has an excellent chance to take the center, provide it doesn’t come up with “wacky, unvetted candidates who emulate the faction of the GOP voters dislike the most.” If Matt Bevin, government shutdown and once TARP supporter, is Exhibit A, then Milton Wolf, a far right-winger who is a cousin of the president, backed by the usual cast of far-right groups is Exhibit B.
....
"Sen. Pat Roberts’ spokesman Leroy Towns tells Right Turn, “This extremism exhibited by Milton Wolf is one big reason he has little support in Kansas.  His statements reported in Mother Jones are far outside the mainstream of conservative Kansas Republicans, and such comments have no place in any political conversation.” As for the primary this summer he says, “We are confident Republicans will soundly reject him in the August primary.' ”
 

But...but he's so photogenic
 
Kansas Sen. Roberts Fires Back at Milton Wolf Supporters   Pat Roberts, "The three-term senator, who revealed to The New York Times earlier this month that he pays rent to stay in the home of two donors when he's in Kansas, released a new ad Friday that included a barbed swipe at the Senate Conservatives Fund, which is backing Wolf, a radiologist who is President Obama's second cousin and a frequent critic of Obamacare. "

Journalism is dead. CNN proves that with their tribute to Joe Stalin (who did "wonderful things" for "social justice").

Journalism is dead. The mainstream media has lost their ability to be objective regarding Obama.

Journalism is Dead

"The mainstream media has lost their ability to be objective regarding Obama."

... "Hitler built the autobahn and Stalin developed Sochi into a "resort town for all people." But in order to complete his oh-so lofty socialist goals, such as resort towns for "all people," Stalin starved, murdered, and personally called for the executions of millions of "all people," and not just the upper class intellectuals, industrialists, and wealthy landowners. Millions of peasants were starved to death; their grain stolen to feed the cities and industrialize the "Motherland."
 
"The day Stalin died in 1953 was the same day millions of Jews were scheduled to be shipped Nazi-style out of their homelands and into the Soviet death camps known as Gulags." ... 
...
... "Can you imagine CNN writing something like this about Hitler? It's different with Stalin, though, because he was ideologically-correct -- you know, not all bad.
"One thing Stalin always counted on to spread The Revolution was the "blind kittens" in the left-wing Western media sympathetic to his cause and easily flattered and fooled into covering him favorably." ...
