Brexit: Sovereign Kingdom or little England?

Charles Krauthammer



"Given their arrogance, pomposity and habitual absurdities, it is hard not to feel a certain satisfaction with the comeuppance that Brexit has delivered to the unaccountable European Union bureaucrats in Brussels.
"Nonetheless, we would do well to refrain from smug condescension. Unity is not easy. What began in 1951 as a six-member European Coal and Steel Community was grounded in a larger conception of a united Europe born from the ashes of World War II. Seven decades into the postwar era, Britain wants out and the E.U. is facing an existential crisis.
"Yet where were we Americans seven decades into our great experiment in continental confederation, our “more perfect union” contracted under the Constitution of 1787? At Fort Sumter.
"The failure of our federal idea gave us civil war and 600,000 dead. And we had the advantage of a common language, common heritage and common memory of heroic revolutionary struggle against a common (British) foe. Europe had none of this. " . . .

The Babies Who Survived the Holocaust

Legal Insurrection  “When the Americans who liberated Dachau found the women with their babies, they cried.”

mothers-with-babies-at-dachau

"Through the course of my daily intercepting, I happened across a post that discussed the babies born in Dachau. Naturally, I had to check this out further. Their stories are amazing.

"First, the story of the babies pictured in the featured image:
In this image is 5 of 7 women (shortly after their liberation in Dachau) who were pregnant and had given birth, all during the Holocaust. Each woman is a miracle. Miriam Rosenthal (not pictured) survived Auschwitz before her arrival. Eva Fleischmanova (middle) survived two inspections by Josef Mengele.
One by one, they were brought to Dachau and, for some reason (perhaps in the hope of being used as barter with the now-winning Allies) put together into a basement. Thanks to the help of their fellow inmates, and their helping each other, they managed to survive until their release. Throughout the experience, one baby after another was born, brought into the world by an inmate who was trained as gynecologist, and whose only tool was a bucket of hot water.
When the Americans who liberated Dachau found the women with their babies, they cried. Surrounded by a death the soldiers could hardly imagine, they had found a spark of unimaginable hope.
"The BBC created a short documentary about Eva Clarke and Anka Bergman, two of the babies that survived the Nazi death camps. This is the first part:" . . .



A Long Trump Summer

"When have voters faced a choice between two such unpalatable, unprincipled candidates?"

Victor Davis Hanson   . . . "The scandals of the Clinton Foundation, Bill Clinton’s various get-rich and jet-set escapades, and much of Hillary Clinton’s paranoia over the audit of her e-mail communications all revolve around a Clinton circle that can never be squared even by liberal pieties: The wealthy do not make politicians fabulously rich — unless they assume that they will receive something of much greater value in return. The Clintons are unique — like no other first couple in recent American history. Not the Carters, not the Reagans, not the two Bush couples, not any first family emeritus has so unapologetically charged banks, foreign governments, corporations, and universities so much money for overtly so little, but on the expectation of clandestinely offering so much.
. . .
"Both Never Trumpers and those who expect to hold their nose and vote for the less disastrous Trump over the specter of a 16-year Obama–Clinton continuum face challenges in the upcoming months. Those who may reluctantly vote for Trump over Hillary always have to deal with the liability that Trump on any given day can say anything — from convincing political agendas to crude and cruel invective to abject conspiracy theories to sensational rumors.

Sen. Cruz’s Statement At Hearing On Obama Admin’s Willful Blindness To Radical Islamic Terrorism



Political Cartoons by Ken Catalino

Fox News Host Calls Out Obama For Another ‘PC’ Response To Terrorist Attack  "Addressing the attack on Wednesday, Obama said, “It’s an indication how little these vicious organizations have to offer…We will not rest until we have dismantled these networks of hate that have an impact on the entire civilized world.”
“Obama then pivoted to ‘happier’ subjects, including cooperation between Mexico, Canada and the U.S. on a range of issues, including climate change,” Fox News reported. "
Political Cartoons by Bob Gorrell

THE AMERICA-HATING OBAMA 'HOMELAND SECURITY' APPOINTEE  . . . "All in all, this DHS Subcommittee was the perfect forum for a young anti-American radical in search of an audience of likeminded comrades, like Laila Alawa. Moreover, it was a forum that echoed, with perfect fidelity, the very same Obama policies that quite demonstrably and indisputably caused the FBI to close its file on the jihadist who subsequently went on to slaughter 49 people in Orlando two weeks ago. Nice work, Mr. President. Nice work."

Obama Attorney General meets with husband of Hillary while she is under FBI investigation

"The tarmac summit sent a signal. It is a signal to all of the hardworking FBI agents who have the goods on Hillary.
The attorney general has made it clear what team she is on. The attorney general isn’t on the side of justice. She’s on the Democratic Party team."

Bill Clinton Up to No Good Visiting Attorney General Loretta Lynch
"Whenever Bill Clinton gets on a plane to meet a woman, he’s usually up to no good.

"Attorney General Loretta Lynch said her impromptu tarmac summit at Phoenix Sky Harbor was a purely social affair. Golf and grandchildren were on the agenda, she said -- and not how a home-brew server crammed with classified information ended up in Bill’s basement.

"However, the attorney general normally doesn’t meet with family members of a target in an active FBI criminal investigation.

"Hillary is just that -- a target in an FBI criminal investigation.

"But you’d never know that listening to Attorney General Lynch. She borrowed the narrative of the Hillary campaign when she described the FBI criminal investigation as a “security inquiry.”

"Downplaying the FBI criminal investigation is a deliberate communications strategy of the Clinton campaignIt’s a very bad sign that the person who must approve any grand jury referral has adopted Hillary’s dishonest language." . . .

Clinton waits on runway to speak with Lynch about grandchildren, golf, and other social affairs? Our intelligence has been utterly disrespected by Democrats.

Renewed Calls for Independent Prosecutor Following Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton Private Meeting  . . . " 'Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social, about our travels, and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix," said Lynch Tuesday afternoon during a news conference at the Phoenix Police Department.
" 'There was no discussion on any matter pending before the Department or any matter pending with any other body, there was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of State Department emails. By way of example, I would say it was current news of the day, the Brexit decision and what it would mean," Lynch said." . . .

Top Democrats are just fine with the meeting   . . . " 'She's an honorable person. We know that," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), expected to be the next Senate Democratic leader, told reporters on Thursday. "She has said nothing was discussed related to the investigation so you have two choices: To say this didn't matter or she's lying. I think it didn't matter. I don't think she's lying." 
" 'All I can say is Loretta Lynch is one of the most outstanding human beings I've ever known," Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said." . . .
It appears CBS is fine with the meeting as well.  "While credit goes to Thursday’s CBS This Morning for leading the broadcast with the controversy swirling around Bill Clinton having a 30-minute private meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch amid the FBI investigation to Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal, the hosts of the morning show proceeded to dismiss the suspicious incident as an “innocent” encounter."

THIS HIDDEN FACT PREDICTS TERRORISM

Ann Coulter   "How'd you like to be running a presidential campaign dependent on Muslims not acting up again between now and Nov. 8? It's getting awfully hard for the media to keep being indignant about Trump's proposed Muslim ban, as long as Muslims keep blowing things up and shooting people. 


"I'm assuming here that The Washington Post has not already ruled the Muslims who blew up the Istanbul Airport to be self-hating gays infected by America's culture of homophobia. 

"It turns out, Omar Mateen, the Orlando nightclub shooter, also wasn't a self-hating gay, despite media excitement over that rumor. The FBI has now run down every alleged gay partner of Omar's, searched his phone and computers, and the alleged gay lovers either had the wrong guy or were lying, and there's no evidence he was on any gay websites or apps. 

"As a Muslim immigrant explained in a curbside interview videotaped by Tony Vera at the Los Angeles International Airport recently -- before she was arrested -- "that's what we do, we bomb people." 

"With impeccable timing, three days before the Istanbul bombing, the liberal Guardian (UK) ran an article sneering at Brexit supporters for wanting out of the European Union before Turkey became a member and the door was thrown open to unlimited migration from this Muslim country that shares a border with Syria, Iraq and Iran. " . . .

Law Enforcement Sources: Gun Used in Paris Terrorist Attacks Came from Phoenix

Image result for fast and furious cartoons

Judicial Watch  "One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

"A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.

"The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers.". . .

UK Christian School Drops Cross From Logo After Complaints It’s “Offensive”…

Weasel Zippers

Parents at a Church of England school have been left furious after council bosses removed the Christian cross from the school's logo.
Oak C of E Primary School opened last month in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire after three pre-existing school merged into one huge institution.
When the school was launched, it boasted a logo with an oak tree whose branches took the shape of the cross, in a nod to its Christian connections.
But just a few weeks later, the cross was replaced with three branches, and the original logo used on large banners and school uniform prototypes had been scrapped.

Propaganda, not reason and science promote the left's position on GW

"Please allow me to translate: The best tool we have to scare people into supporting carbon taxes and regulations that would empower the ruling elites to control every aspect of wealth generation is propaganda pretending that bad weather, like hurricanes and floods are caused by an increase in carbon dioxide, and essential atmospheric ingredient that promotes higher crop yields necessary to feed the earth’s burgeoning population. Most people do not realize that catastrophic weather events have been apart of human history forever, so we can fool them into believing that we can prevent them in the future by limiting the combustion of hydrocarbons."

Bully Obama's most memorable moment

"If you like having no say about how our country is governed, be sure to vote Democratic in November.If you like “men” masquerading as “women” in your little girl’s public restroom, be sure to vote Democratic in November.If you can’t wait to find out what the next “rights” movement is all about, be sure to vote Democratic in November."


Joseph Farah  "I got a letter from Barack Obama last weekend.
"Maybe you got it, too.
"It came on the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court edict mandating same-sex marriage.
“ 'One of the most memorable moments of my presidency was one year ago today, on a warm summer night, when we lit up the White House in the colors of the rainbow flag,” he wrote. “It was hours after the Supreme Court had ruled that love is love, and all marriages would be equal under the law.”
"Well, not exactly accurate.
"Not all marriages would be equal under the law. Obama’s constituency will never be satisfied.
"Marriage is still oddly an institution only for couples.
"Isn’t that “discriminatory”?
"Is that an oversight? Or is it the next target?
"Or maybe that will come after people get the “right” to marry animals or inanimate objects.
"Maybe it sounds like I’m being bigoted, narrow-minded or flippant.
"I’m not. There are Americans demanding each and every one of those “rights.” We have chronicled them in WND. It’s no joke.
"It shows that there is no end to the madness, no end to the kinds of “discrimination” the so-called “progressives” like Obama will continue to fight. It’s what empowers them – not actually making life better for America, but simply remaining in constant commotion and agitation.

AMERICA IS NOT A NATION OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE ANY LONGER

Icebreaker

Conservative Daily News "This nation was founded by men who wrote a document that established the rule of law to ensure equal opportunity for all, the Constitution of the United States of America.   Barak Obama and nearly all members of Congress ignore every article of that document, the second greatest document ever written. Our Constitution stands second only to the Word of God, the Holy Bible, in importance in world history. Obama rules by edict, called executive orders, and Congress violates the oath of office that pledged them to uphold the provisions of our founding document yet they get reelected about 95% of the time. Treason and corruption by those in office is epidemic and our freedoms are merely words without meaning because the Constitution is only given occasional lip service by the political ruling class and We the People do nothing. The reelection rate is a travesty that would have our founding fathers spinning in their graves. The election process is a scam, totally controlled by one world government elitists who set themselves up as omnipotent rulers answering only to themselves rather than answering to the Constitution and We the People." 

Escape Tunnel, Dug by Hand, Is Found at Holocaust Massacre Site (Updated)

NY Times  via Drudge



"Jewish forced laborers dug a tunnel from this holding pit near Vilnius, Lithuania, into the surrounding forest. A team of archaeologists and mapmakers say they have uncovered a forgotten tunnel that 80 Jews dug largely by hand as they tried to escape from a Nazi extermination site in Lithuania about 70 years ago. 
"The Lithuanian site, Ponar, holds mass burial pits and graves where up to 100,000 people were killed and their bodies dumped or burned during the Holocaust.
"Using radar and radio waves to scan beneath the ground, the researchers found the tunnel, a 100-foot passageway between five and nine feet below the surface, the team announced on Wednesday.
"A previous attempt made by a different team in 2004 to find the underground structure had only located its mouth, which was subsequently left unmarked. The new finding traces the tunnel from entrance to exit and provides evidence to support survivor accounts of the harrowing effort to escape the holding pit. 
“ 'What we were able to do was not only solve one of the greatest mysteries and escape stories of the Holocaust,” said Richard Freund, an archaeologist from the University of Hartford in Connecticut and one of the team leaders. " . . .

"Progressives are happily dancing atop the graves of our Benghazi dead following the final House Select Committee 800-page report on what went wrong and who is to blame.

"In a nutshell, it seems that everything went wrong, and the entire incident was the almost unavoidable outcome of policy failures, bureaucratic mismanagement and miscommunication, dismal understanding of the situation in Libya, gross underestimation of necessary security to protect Americans, and general fumbduckery. Meaning that no one - especially Hillary in the Left's estimation - is to blame because the entire system failed at every level.

"For Progressives, this means that Hillary is now cleared and qualified to become president of the United States, an office from which she can give every citizen the same level of protection she provided for the fallen in Benghazi." . . .

Report: Obama Skipped Intelligence Briefing the Day After Benghazi Attacks

obamaAlex Griswold  According to the upcoming report from the House Benghazi Committee, President Barack Obama skipped his personal daily intelligence briefing the day after the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
 . . . " According to the Executive Coordinator tasked with delivering the daily briefings, she first delivered the briefing to White House chief of staff Jack Lew. But instead of giving Obama a briefing, she gave the folder to a White House usher.
"That day’s briefing contained a sentence claiming “the presence of armed assailants from the outset suggests this was an intentional assault and not the escalation of a peaceful protest.”  . . .
"Previous reports indicate that skipping the briefing is not necessarily unusual for the president, and that he only attends roughly 40% of his intelligence briefings.  . . .
"Obama’s activities during and after the attack have long been a matter of mystery, with the White House refusing to comment on the matter. During the 2012 presidential election, Obama was attacked by Republicans for flying to Las Vegas for a campaign fundraiser the day after the attack."

Former Navy Seal: Hillary Killed My Friends In Benghazi

Democrats: "Most Progressive Platform Our Party Has Ever Seen"

Doug Ross Journal  . . . "Those are words spoken by Hillary Clinton’s senior policy advisor about the draft of the Democratic Party platform and they should frighten every American that supports free enterprise and a restrained federal government. The platform draft approved by the Democratic drafting committee consisting of both Clinton and Sanders allies includes proposals that will make it more difficult for individuals to break free from government constraints and achieve the American Dream.
"There are many dangerous proposals in the Democratic Party’s platform that should raise concern:
  • A $15 minimum wage, including one for tipped workers, will force businesses to slash jobs, shift to automation, and put companies out of business
  • Burdensome regulations will make companies subservient to the government and prevent them from expanding.
  • Massive new spending on government programs that won’t be paid for and will substantially increase the national debt.
"In addition, Sanders allies proposed some costly ideas that were just a vote away from becoming part of the platform and will no doubt be under consideration in a Democratic administration. Those include:
  • An unaffordable national energy tax on Americans that will increase costs across the board and make it tougher for families to make ends meet.
  • Going further than ObamaCare and implementing a one-size fits all single-payer system controlled solely by the government.
  • Labeling Israel for causing an “occupation” and saying that they have “illegal settlements” in the Gaza strip.
"These policy prescriptions are threatening, not only to conservatives but for the country as a whole. They represent a sharp left turn in favor of policies that radically expands the size of government and continues to restrict freedoms of individuals across the country."

The Benghazi report

PJ Media: Benghazi Report: Obama Administration Failed to Protect Americans in Benghazi

. . . "The report also concluded that Hillary Clinton and other administration officials pushed the video explanation for Benghazi despite knowing the truth because eyewitness accounts were immediately available.
"Republicans on the committee charge that Clinton and the State Department acted in a "shameful" manner in refusing to hand over requested emails from her private email server and pointed out that President Barack Obama skipped his daily intelligence briefing one day after the attacks.
"The report also said that the investigation by the so-called Accountability Review Board was tainted by the influence of Clinton's former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills." . . .

Select Committee releases Benghazi report
But the analysis includes new facts sure to be seized upon by the administration’s critics, and which are likely to serve as points of attack against Clinton during the general election.
Via Lucianne : Judicial Watch Statement on House Benghazi Report
“The Select Committee report further confirms what Judicial Watch already uncovered through its independent investigations.  Our investigation continues, as the Clinton email obstruction of our Benghazi FOIA lawsuit is the subject of court-ordered discovery.  This report proves beyond all doubt that after four Americans died in Benghazi, the Obama administration lied.  While we appreciate the Select Committee’s efforts, Judicial Watch’s Benghazi effort has been one of the most significant non-government investigations in modern American history.”
GOP Benghazi report charges Obama-Clinton did nothing to save lives   
— The administration broke its promise to bring those responsible to justice. Now four years after the attack, only one person has been arrested and was brought to America before proper interrogation took place.
— The administration never had a sincere interest in helping the Committee and working with us to find the truth. It was politics, deceit and deception.

Democrats, LGBT activists’ sinister plan to crack down on Christian schools

Are there no tolerant, patriotic Democrats out there anywhere?

Todd Starnes


"If California Democrats have their way, Christian colleges and universities will no longer be allowed to require students attend chapel services or require them to profess a relationship with Jesus Christ.
"Senate Bill 1146 would close a loophole that lawmakers say allows Christian universities to discriminate against students based on their gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation.
“ 'All students deserve to feel safe in institutions of higher education, regardless of whether they are public or private,” said Senator Ricardo Lara, the author of the legislation. “California has established strong protections for the LGBTQ community and private universities should not be able to use faith as an excuse to discriminate and avoid complying with state laws.”
"The legislation has already passed the Senate and is expected to clear hurdles in the Assembly. Thus far, Lara has refused to compromise with the state’s Christian colleges and universities." . . .

Post-Brexit: What's next?  "In practical and rhetorical terms, this means a vote for nationalism, independence, and border security.  Consequently, this means a vote against globalism, Brussels’s bureaucracy, and immigration.  It means also a vote for true freedom of speech, individualism, and assimilationism and, consequently, a vote against political correctness, establishment, and multiculturalism."

"Now it's been proposed that since Britain is leaving the EU, English, the official language, be dropped." . . .

Why hasn't Trump said anything about the Supreme Court's new abortion case?

Ann Althouse   "Hillary tweeted right away: "SCOTUS's decision is a victory for women in Texas and across America. Safe abortion should be a right—not just on paper, but in reality. -H" and "This fight isn't over: The next president has to protect women's health. Women won't be 'punished' for exercising their basic rights. -H" And Trump hasn't tweeted anything.Josh Voorhees (at Slate) says "The obvious answer is that Trump is either unwilling or unable to quickly sum up his thoughts on a topic that he has expressed so many conflicting views on in the past and that has caused him so many problems in the present...."

"Another obvious answer is: Gender politics isn't his thing. He only talks about abortion when pushed or when attacked."

Marinelli, a Californian political activist and leader of the California independence movement, is using the European developments to drive a harder push to have California split from the United States.
His dream of seeing a free, independent California Republic was buoyed by Thursday’s shock result of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union—known as Brexit. Marinelli, president of the “Yes California” movement, was inspired by the Brexit vote, as “Leave” supporters in England and Wales overwhelmed “Remain” backers in Scotland and Northern Ireland—prompting discussions of whether Scotland will hold another referendum to leave the U.K behind and retain EU membership.

Political Correctness puts Americans in Grave Danger

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

Scott S. Powell   "If Americans were shocked by the recent terrorist massacre in Orlando committed by Omar Mateen in the name of ISIS and other Islamist jihadis, they should be even more alarmed by the Obama administration’s response, which once again sought to obfuscate the role of Islamist ideology in motivating that terrorist attack -- the largest on U.S. soil since 9/11

"In spite of Islamists having established an unparalleled record of terrorism -- some 20,000 assaults globally in the name of Islam since 9/11 – U.S. law enforcement, intelligence and national armed forces have for many years been operating partially blindfolded with one hand tied behind their backs under the heel of the politically correct posture of protecting Islam and Muslims.
. . . 
Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
"However, the strategy that involves the hegemony of political correctness is bound to continue through the balance of the Obama administration. And the black flags will surely keep coming under a Hillary Clinton presidency. Having learned nothing from the spate of Islamist terrorist attacks, Clinton has recently stated she plans to massively increase immigration from the Middle East even without a screening plan, including a 500% increase in Syrian refugees." . . .

Phyllis Chesler: DENYING REALITY WILL GET US KILLED . . .

Why we must support Donald Trump

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

American Thinker  "I supported Ted Cruz during the primaries and struggled mightily with Donald Trump (and in many ways still do).  But I will vote for Trump in November, because as intrigued as I was early on by the NeverTrump movement, it’s clear these folks (who stand on soap boxes of personal integrity) are putting self before country.

"David Horowitz and Daniel Greenfield of Front Page Magazine are two conservatives among many who have been covering the urgent need to get behind Trump.  Writing in forceful and eloquent ways, they are sounding the alarm, pointing out critical differences between Trump and Clinton.  Most recently, Horowitz wrote:
Barack Obama delivers nuclear weapons and $150 billion to America’s mortal enemy in the Middle East…
But when Donald Trump insinuates the president is a man of uncertain loyalties, Republican leaders back away from him. When Trump proposes fighting “radical Islam,” securing America’s borders, stopping unvetted immigration from Muslim terrorist states, surveilling mosques, and scrutinizing the families of terrorist actors, Republicans join Democrats in denouncing him, or take an uncomfortable distance or maintain a silence that leaves him to fend for himself. [snip]
…Democrat betrayers of America are on the attack, while Republican leaders who claim to be patriots are on the run…This is the sad state of the Republican forces in retreat in an election campaign that will decide the fate of our country.
. . .
"So to those holier-than-thou conservatives who refuse to vote for Donald Trump because their personal integrity will not allow them to do so, I say: if you want more jihad, don’t vote for Trump, and help Hillary win.  If you want to be sure our borders remain open, don’t vote for Trump, and help Hillary win.  And if you want the next president to be someone who got Americans killed and then lied about it, don’t vote for Trump, and help Hillary win.  And when Hillary Clinton is sworn in as the next president, you can pat yourself on the back, know you did the right thing, and raise a glass to your integrity, which will have served your ego but not the nation."

Bookworm puts it clearly: . . . "What I can’t respect is Will’s willingness to hand the White House over to Hillary:" . . .
