North Korea H-Bomb Shows Need For U.S. Nuclear Deterrent

IBD  "Nuclear War: By President Obama's Iran logic, the U.S. should stop worrying and learn to love North Korea's H-bomb. In the real world, what worked for four decades was mutual assured destruction.

"It is typical of the Obama administration that it reacts to one of the spokes on the Axis of Evil raising the nuclear ante by suggesting that it didn't really happen, so you can stop worrying, folks.

"The unpredictable and terrifying North Korea announces testing a hydrogen bomb, and White House spokesman Josh Earnest contends, "The initial analysis is not consistent with the North Korean claims.' "

American Silliness, 1/7/2016: The 7 smallest microaggressions of 2015

Campus Reform

"The past year proved to be one in which everyone was offended by everything. From mistletoeto Columbus Day to cafeteria food, it seemed nothing was off limits to the hyper-PC movement. 

"As a way to unwind and gear up for the craziness 2016 is sure to bring, Campus Reform has selected the seven smallest, most absurd things people were offended by in 2015. 

"You’re going to need a microscope to see these "aggressions.' " . . .

To Be, or Not to Be Offended  . . . "America has grown half a population with no backbone, no resilience, no interest in truth and the discomfort that often accompanies its discovery. Americans -- can you believe it? -- are all fussy about “microaggression” and not at all aware of the macroaggression that will be ours to deal with if we can’t face the truth about morality, about our enemies, and about God.

“'Arab or North African” appearance of organized groups stokes politics of migration and immigration."

"This story is the sum of the worst fears about the migrant crisis, and is sure to reverberate widely as more European countries seek to impose border controls.

"Germany’s Deutsche Welle reports, String of New Year’s Eve sexual assaults outrages Cologne:

Police in the western German city of Cologne responded on Monday to outrage over a string of sexual crimes over New Year’s Eve. According to police, the series of assaults in one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares represented a “completely new dimension of crime.”

Some 90 criminal complaints, including one allegation of rape, have been brought to the Cologne police department after women said they were molested by a crowd of men who had gathered in the city’s famous square between its central train station and towering Gothic cathedral. Authorities expect more victims to come forward in the next few days.

City police chief Wolfgang Albers said the crowd was composed of up to 1,000 heavily intoxicated men who gave the appearance of being “Arab or North African” in background.

. . .

 "When I first heard of this incident, I immediately thought of the repeated organized assaults on women in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian Arab Spring protests in 2011, including of Lara Logan."

UPDATE: Mayor of Cologne blames women for being raped   . . . "Guidelines for preparation. What’s it going to be called? “How to prepare for rape jihad”?

"Stupid Europeans have invited the enemy into their midst and now find themselves needing guidelines for how to survive among barbarians." . . .

Audio: Bill Clinton Privately Mocked Paula Jones as an Attention-Seeking ‘Floozy’

Alana Goodman

"Bill Clinton dismissed Paula Jones in the 1990s as a “floozy” and a “nobody” who was only suing him for sexual harassment in order to have her “moment in the sun,” according to an audio diary recorded at the time by one of his closest confidantes.

"Clinton’s friend and biographer, Taylor Branch, took notes on a late-night conversation he had with the president on Oct. 2, 1997, and immediately recorded them into an audio diary. The recordings were recently obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"According to Branch’s diary, Clinton discussed the pending sexual harassment lawsuit brought against him by former Arkansas government employee Paula Jones, who claimed he unzipped his pants and asked her to perform a sex act on him in a Little Rock hotel room in 1991.

“[Clinton] said they had now changed Paula Jones’s hair style, made her look less like a floozy, and that she didn’t seem to have any visible income but was always driving a new car,” said Branch, a historian who drew from many of his diary entries to write his 2010 Clinton biography The Clinton Tapes." . . .
