Obama Hid “Jesus” at Catholic University – But Allows “Allah” to Be Widely Displayed During Islamic Center Speech

Mosque Obama Visited Under FBI Surveillance Starting in 2010  . . . In 2010, the Islamic Society of Baltimore was placed under FBI surveillance following the arrest of one of its members. The member had been planning to bomb an Army recruiting center near the mosque in Catonsville." . . .

The Gateway Pundit

"Barack Obama hid the Jesus symbol during his speech at Georgetown."

"But Obama allowed the word “Allah” to be widely displayed during his first speech at a US Islamic Center."

"From declaring that the United States is no longer a Christian nation to denying Syrian Christians entry into the country President Obama’s distaste for the followers of Jesus are as obvious as the nose on your face. But with less than a year left in his Presidency Obama hasn’t given up on dissing Christians at every opportunity.

"For example, President Obama gave a speech at a mosque in the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday. While standing in front of a glass wall where the word “Allah” was written 99 times in Arabic calligraphy, the President took a stab at Republican Presidential hopeful Donald Trump by stating there was “inexcusable anti-Islamic rhetoric in the political sphere.” The White House staff were even gifted Qurans at the event (picture below):

"What makes this entire event a slap in the face to Christians is that while giving a speech at Georgetown University in 2012 the White House told the Catholic school to cover up all religious signs and symbols, including the small letters IHS displayed inside the triangular pediment directly behind and above where the President would stand since the 3 letters signify the name of Jesus Christ (pictured top left)." . . .

New Obama regulation: White males lose, lawyers and Democrats win

Thomas Lifson  "Last Friday, a new regulation was proposed by the Obama administration that will make it harder and more expensive for employers to hire and promote white males, enrich class action lawyers, and do absolutely nothing to accomplish the ostensible goal of raising the pay of women relative to men.
"Betsy McCaughey explains in the New York Post:

Claiming women aren’t getting paid enough, President

Obama wants to make it easier to accuse employers of gender discrimination and hit them with class-action lawsuits. A new regulation proposed on Friday will require all employers with 100 or more workers to report how much their workforce is paid, broken down by race and gender.
The rule, slated to go into effect in September 2017, will cause headaches for employers and anyone — man or woman — who works hard and expects to get ahead based on merit. The winners are federal bean counters, class-action lawyers and the Democratic Party, which is playing up the gender “wage gap” as usual during this election year.

. . . 
"The new regs will make it risky to hire or promote white males.

"Your employer will have to lump workers into 12 salary bands.  If you’re a white male up for a raise, but the band above yours already includes too many while males, tough luck.  Your boss will be pressured to give the raise to a woman or minority to avoid triggering EEOC scrutiny.

"This data collection is a godsend for EEOC regulators looking for targets, and it hands class-action lawyers the statistics they need on a silver platter.

"Even worse: the presumption is that the employer discriminates, unless proven otherwise:" . . .

Muslim Women Protest Obama's Baltimore Mosque Visit

The Investigative Project on Terrorism  "President Obama'sappearance Wednesday at the Islamic Society of Baltimore (ISB) drew a small band of protesters, and their issue might come as a surprise.

"A group of Muslim women and their supporters stood"as close [to the mosque] as the Secret Service allows to protest the separate and unequal standards inside and advocate for equal rights."

"One of the protesters, writer Ify Okoye, used to pray at the ISB but left after unsuccessfully challenging its treatment of women. She took pictures in 2010, showing women relegated to partitioned, drab prayer spaces compared to the wide open space reserved for men.

"In a column published Wednesday morning, Okoye and journalist Asra Nomani explained that at the ISB, "women and girls are usually segregated, unable to see the imam unless they peek over the balcony's edge." Women's prayer space is comparable to a hockey penalty box, they wrote." . . .

Norway: making a huge mistake

Bloviating Zeppelin  "Norway is about to make a massive mistake.

It is committed to disarming its civilian police officers.

"From the UK Independent.com:

This European country is about to disarm all its police . . . 
Police in Norway will no longer carry guns.The country has announced that the armament of its police officers, which began in 2014, will cease “as soon as possible” after it was deemed no longer necessary.Plans to stop issuing officers with guns were announced last November but were postponed after the terror attacks in Paris.

"Allow me to interject briefly for a moment.  This is a perfect example of a

GOWP mindset and belief system.  The whole 1800s disproven and doddering “if we disarm they’ll disarm” thingie.  . . .   Brilliant idea.

"Except that apparently you Brits and Norwegians failed to read your own article.  You know, the part above where it says “Plans to stop issuing officers with guns were announced last November but were postponed after the terror attacks in Paris.

“Postponed after the terror attacks in Paris.”Here in Yankdom, that’s called a “clue.' ”

Wounded Combat Vet SLAMS Generals Suggesting Women Should Sign Up for The DRAFT

Clash Daily . . . "Before anyone starts drawing false comparisons between Women-in-Combat and the previous exclusion of African-Americans from the U.S. military, let it be known that the two are not similar in any way. Black people can do whatever white people can. However, women (in general) cannot do whatever men (in general) can, and vice versa. When a man (a real man, not Bruce Jenner) manages to give birth to a baby, then maybe we can entertain that men and women are truly the same. Until then, we should recognize that men and women are different, acknowledge these differences, and work within those contexts. To sit here and pretend that two different things are in fact that same is the height of idiocy. We should celebrate our differences.

"While I would have some other reservations about Women-In-Combat, there is absolutely no way that I could ever support this policy as it is. From my interactions with hundreds of infantrymen and ex-infantrymen, I have not talked to a single one who thinks that this was a good idea. Not one.

"Amend and/or abolish the Selective Service Act and make the PT standards equal. Until then, this is never going to work. There’s no reason to have trial and error, this will cost many good soldiers to be killed in the battled field… and to prove what?

"Wake up America, because this whole Political Correctness BS is going to bite us in the ass!

"If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it."

Let's go, men and women!

Jimmy Carter: I’d choose Trump

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution  "Did Jimmy Carter just say he’d like Donald Trump to become president?
"Not exactly. And only if, you get the feeling, he was down to his very last choice. 
"Carter, 91, appeared in Britain’s House of Lords Wednesday afternoon to deliver a lecture on the Carter Center’s long and impressive campaign to eliminate Guinea worm disease from the world. A question-and-answer session followed, and, despite the presence of many esteemed members of Parliament and other dignified guests in the ornate “Robing Room,” the first one to the mic was — wouldn’t you know it? — a pesky reporter.
“ 'Can you give us your assessement of American politics,” the man from the BBC asked as some veddy British boos began riccocheting around the Robing Room. “Also, whether you’re for Sanders or Clinton.”
“ 'I was hoping I wouldn’t get that question, but I’m not surprised,” Carter said. He then launched into a confident, five-minute response that began with him recalling his own surprise victory in the 1976 Democratic presidential caucuses (“I was the one who put Iowa on the map”) and proceeded to his analysis of this year’s results there.
“ 'Bernie Sanders has had a remarkable showing, particularly among young people. In Iowa, he had 85 percent of young people’s (support),” Carter said. “I don’t know what the final result will be. My own personal opinion is that it’s very likely Hillary Clinton will still prevail in the Democratic party. Of course, I’m a Democrat and I will support the (Democratic party’s) nominee.”
"But wait, the former president was just getting warmed up! Turning to the “almost completely unpredictable” race for the Republican nomination, Carter said he had a “feeling” that Trump’s chances ultimately would “fade away.
“ 'When people actually get ready to put on a ballot, ‘This is the person I want to lead me for the next four or eight years, I think they’ll have a little different opinion,’” Carter said.

"Still, better him than Ted Cruz.

If he had to choose between Cruz and Trump for the Republican nomination, Carter chuckled, “I think I would choose Trump, which may surprise some of you.”

"(It did, judging by the loud laughter from the audience.)“The reason is, Trump has proven already he’s completly malleable,” Carter explained. “I don’t think he has any fixed (positions) he’d go the White House and fight for. On the other hand, Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right wing policies he’d pursue if he became president.' ”

When Anger Trumps All

American Thinker  "One of the most dangerous effects of Donald Trump's presidential campaign is the venomous anger his demagoguery has cultivated among his more engaged supporters, to be spewed at anyone who dares to express concern about any of their idol's (yes, idol's) soft spots. 

"Just click on any article, on any website, critical of anything about Trump, and navigate to the readers' comments.  First, notice the unusually large number of them.  Then observe the tone: rarely logical, thoughtful, or truly argumentative, the Trump defenders (granting honorable exceptions) simply attack -- personally, irrelevantly, uncivilly -- any writer or fellow commenter, no matter how unimpeachably serious (even Thomas Sowell, for heaven's sake!) who dares to suggest Trump may be a poor nominee. 

"That's their prerogative, of course, and anyone who writes for public consumption must be thick-skinned enough to stand by his ideas and let the spewers spew.  The problem, however, lies in the way this true believer invective is smothering meaningful political discourse precisely when such discourse is most urgently needed." 

Woodward: Clinton 'shouts,' needs to 'get off this screaming stuff'

Washington Examiner  "Veteran investigative journalist Bod Woodward on Wednesday said a likely reason Hillary Clinton lost young voters in Iowa to her main Democratic rival is because she has a harsh tone that comes across as insecure. 

" 'I think a lot of it with Hillary Clinton has to do with style and delivery, oddly enough," Woodward said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "She shouts. There is something unrelaxed about the way she is communicating."  . . . 

" 'Last night I was watching her and I said to myself, has nobody told her that the microphone works because she always keeps it up here," Scarborough said." . . .

" 'She is especially poor at the podium, where, when she wants to emphasize an applause line, her voice becomes loud, flat and harassing to the ear," Noonan wrote in January. She compared Clinton to a "landlady yelling up the stairs that your kids left their bikes in the hall again.' "
