Woman beheaded in Oklahoma attack was grandmother who just lost her home in tornado; attacker was let out of jail early

"The woman beheaded by a Muslim convert was a grandmother who had lost her home in a tornado, it emerged today.

"Alton Alexander Nolen, 30, is accused of killing Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing Traci Johnson, 43, who apparently were attacked randomly at the Vaughan Foods facility in Moore on Thursday, after he was fired from his job

"Hufford, who had been married for 25 years, had lost her family home in the Moore tornado." ...

Below: Traci Johnson, the second victim.

Traci Johnson

Please, Doctor Ben Carson, do NOT run for president.

I fear for Dr. Carson and what will be done to him if he should be lassoed into running for president. All we know and admire about this man will be destroyed by the left when they superimpose the image of him that they create over all that he actually is.

I see Dr. Carson as a political innocent whose impact is stronger as the voice of reason in the hurricane of demagoguery swirling around the election campaigns. I see him perhaps as a surgeon general, but as honorable as he is, he will be vulnerable to attacks from the left.

Foreign policy and terrorism are coming to the forefront of concern and it will take a president skilled and courageous in international affairs, but I do not see anything in Dr. Carson's resume' that would create those qualities. In fact all the shortcomings in Obama's background are the same as those in Ben Carson's, save for the decency and humanity I see in the doctor.

Only those who have been governors of states seem to have been properly prepared to run a nation, deal with political opposition and get their hands dirty if they must. (That last characteristic has been a resume enhancement for Democrats.) Mr. Obama has not been the least afraid to get his hands dirty, but that quality alone has not made him an effective president. There is mostly the ability to unify national leadership behind a well-defined cause and that takes leadership qualities Obama lacks. I fear these also may not be sufficient in a man of the quality and experience of Dr. Ben Carson and to put him in the position of a presidential candidate will only harm this good and decent man. If we elect this national treasure as president I fear we will set Dr. Carson up for failure.

If Dr. Carson is our candidate, make no mistake: I will vote for him, if for no better reason than to cancel a Democrat vote. But please, Dr. Carson, for all our sakes, but especially your own, I beg you not to run for president.

Al Sharpton Empowered

John Fund & Hans von Spakovsky

... "Many principled liberals are privately appalled that President Obama and Eric Holder have exalted the status of Al Sharpton, and they fear that any new attorney general will also be in thrall to him. Some have even gone public. Liberal journalist Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News wrote last year: “We’ve gone from Martin Luther King to the Reverend Al Sharpton, and . . . it’s very dispiriting.”

"Indeed, in King’s famous 1963 speech at the Washington Mall, he told of his “dream” that his four children would “one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

"That dream remains as noble as ever, but it won’t be advanced by the Reverend Sharpton and his “I have a scheme” method of activism. One of the saddest legacies of the Obama-Holder years will be that while they claimed MLK’s mantle as their own, they left the country more racially polarized than before and cynically worked overtime to give credibility to the Al Sharptons of the world.

The Lie That Will Start a World War

American Thinker ... "No one but the Jews has a genuine religious claim to the 35 acres of the Temple Mount, and anyone who has studied the history knows this. Even Christians – who do have legitimate claims to other sites in the area – do not contest the Mount. This is not arcane knowledge. It can be gleaned in a few minutes of relatively light reading.

"Yet our media deceptively hides this from the public. We are being lied to whenever the media tells us that the area is sacred to Muslims, rather than apprising us that the claim is an Islamic fraud, so obvious that even the imams have to know that they are lying. That five-year gap does not go away.".. By Mike Konrad

Obama tries to shake off Carter aura...

thegatewaypundit

The Financial Times Ltd. ... "Replete with George W Bush-style rhetoric about a “network of death” and “this brand of evil”, Mr Obama’s speech this week was an effort to reboot his flagging presidency.

"In political terms, the more martial Mr Obama was trying to shake of the Jimmy Carter aura that has been hanging over his White House; the steady corrosion of leverage at home and influence abroad in the face of Middle East turmoil that slowly leaves an incumbent looking impotent.

"From the foreign policy perspective, Mr Obama conducted what amounted to a genuine pivot in his approach to the world – embracing the central point of many of his critics who insist that a leadership vacuum has emerged in the world that only the US can fill." ... Via Drudge.

Islam Comes to Moore, Oklahoma (Updated)

Warning Signs ... "Don’t call it a religion. And surely do not call it the “religion of peace.” There was nothing peaceful about Islam from its earliest days when the citizens of Mecca came to the conclusion that Muhammad and his followers were a threat to them. That was 1,400 years ago.
"If it were in my power, I would require every American to read “It’s All About Muhammad: A Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet” ... "
“More than two-thirds of the canonical biographical materials have to do with the violence he used to spread his religion.” It was a short step from Muhammad, the self-proclaimed prophet who later called himself the messenger of Allah, to Alton Nolen, the Muslim convert who is alleged to have beheaded a former co-worker."

UPDATE: An American convert to Islam beheaded a former colleague in Moore, Oklahoma. US law enforcement officials are not calling it terrorism. ... "Nolen’s Facebook page – under the name Jah’Keem Yisrael – features virulently anti-Christian, anti-American and anti-Israeli posts as well as photos of ISIS and Al-Qaeda terrorists.
"In a post to “fellow Muslims,” for example, he writes: “America and Israel are wicked. Wake up Muslims!!!”
"Nonetheless, US law enforcement officials say there is no indication that the decapitation is linked to terrorism.
"Nolen’s colleagues told investigators that he had made numerous
attempts to inspire fellow employees to convert to Islam."
The ISIS one-finger salute This will negate the Christian "One Way" gesture, I'm sure.
About that Musim Brotherhood three-finger salute Sadly, Muslim children are giving it.

Language advisory: Left wing comedian Bill Maher bashes liberals and their defense of Islam. I have never had good to speak of Maher, but he does show courage by dealing with this subject. His comments are inadvisable for your kids unless you are some kind of new-age progressive parent. (Video)
