THE MUSLIM HOUSE: Here’s What The White House Celebrated the Day of TN Shooting

"This will make you sick to your stomach."

President Barack Obama sent a celebratory message to Muslims around the world on the White House Twitter account nearly two hours before his first tweet on the subject of four dead Marines killed by an Islamic gunman.
“From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak!” —@POTUS to Muslims celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr,” the White House tweeted. This message was tweeted at 4:48 p.m. according to the White House Twitter feed.

"A few minutes before the posting of this article, the White House tweeted a video message, shown below, calling the shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a “heartbreaking circumstance.” Others might call the incident “a terrorist attack.” This message was tweeted at 6:08 p.m. according to the White House Twitter feed."  Read more: Breitbart

"Obama’s Own Adviser Just Admitted Something About Iran Deal He NEVER Wanted Public"

 I know; the headline reads like a supermarket tabloid cover, but let's see. 

Western Journalism
" A stunning example of a spin-to-win effort that's an EPIC fail..."

. . . " Rice, though, used the euphemism “bad behavior” instead of terrorism; just as her boss, Obama, has refused to utter the phrase “Islamic terrorism.”

“ 'National Security Adviser Susan Rice said ‘we should expect’ that some of the money Iran gets under sanctions relief as a result of the nuclear deal ‘would go to the Iranian military and could potentially be used for the kinds of bad behavior that we have seen in the region’ on Wednesday’s ‘Situation Room’ on CNN,” says Breitbart.

"Experts have estimated that some $100-150 billion in Iranian assets have been frozen in the international banking system and are expected to be thawed under the terms of the deal for which the Obama administration continues to take a protracted victory lap. In her interview with CNN, Rice essentially said “so what” about the potential use of those funds to help Iran militarily:" . . .

""We're going to do an intense look at him to see what his connections are," FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold said. "We'll look at his friends, family, associates -- anybody who is associated with him to determine the cause or the reason why he conducted this attack."

""Today was a nightmare for the city of Chattanooga," Mayor Andy Berke said. "As a city, we will respond to this with every available resource that we have."

Exposing Iran Deal Is Congress' Most Important Job In History

IBD Editorial   . . . "Then comes debate on the House and Senate floors, and finally a vote. Even short of two- thirds majorities — that is, all Republicans and some Democrats — will make it clear Americans oppose this deal.
Granted, public opposition didn't stop Obama on ObamaCare. But mushroom clouds are a bigger attention-getter than skyrocketing health care premiums.

A couple if minor details on the Iran deal press conference

 

Obama Official Lied On Iran Deal: “We Never Sought ‘Anytime Anywhere’ Inspections”

Video; "Three months ago during a discussion about a possible nuclear deal with Iran, Deputy White House National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said that the United States would require inspection access “anywhere and anytime.”   . . .
"Really? Because on Tuesday, he told the same network that “we never sought, in this negotiation, the capacity for so-called ‘anytime, anywhere’ where you could go basically anywhere in the country.' ”  There's that term "snap back" again.

 Obama values an American deserter/traitor more than 4 innocent Americans held hostage by Iran. . . "Left behind were four innocent American hostages imprisoned by the regime for years.  On Wednesday, CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett asked about them.  Barack Obama, the snarkiest, most thin-skinned president in American history, lashed out – not at the Iranians, but at the temerity of Garrett for daring to ask him the question."

PHOTOS: Protesters Welcome Obama To Oklahoma With Confederate Flags

TPM

 

"Supporters of the Confederate flag rallied Wednesday in Oklahoma as President Barack Obama arrived in the state for a series of events, including the first ever visit to a federal prison by a sitting President."

"About 10 people waving Confederate battle flags were among the crowd that gathered Wednesday night outside the Oklahoma City hotel where Obama was expected to stay, according to a White House pool report. One person waved an American flag and another held up a pro-Obama sign, the report noted.

"Protesters also gathered earlier in the day near Durant, Oklahoma before Obama arrived at a local high school to deliver remarks on a program expanding high-speed Internet access, according to local TV station KFOR.

Hillary favorability: Drip, drip, drip …

Legal Insurrection     "Cumulative effect of years of scandals, down to 39% overall and falling among Dems."

"Long ago and far away I predicted that the effect on Hillary’s presidential campaign of the multiple scandals would be cumulative.
"Since a large portion of the electorate, the younger generation, didn’t know the real Hillary of the 1990s, Hillary’s vulnerability was that the manufactured “nice grandma” and glass-ceiling breaker image of her would be supplanted by the controlling, paranoid figure of the 1990s.
"There is increasing evidence that the scandals, particularly the email scandal, is having an effect.
You can see from the HuffPo Pollster chart that Hillary has been on a horrible favorability trajectory for the past two years:

 

"There is more evidence today, in an AP-Gfk Poll that shows Hillary’s favorability dropping to 39% among all voters, and even dropped among Democrats (though still high):" . . .

We interviewed the Obama voter at right who said he was all for Hillary. 
"Count me among the 39% ", he proclaimed.
 At least we think that was what he said.

NAACP man wants Stone Mountain carving destroyed. (UPDATED)

Pretty much as ISIS is destroying antiquities in the Middle East. And to hear them all explain their reasons, it will sound reasonable to pliable ears; "skulls full of mush" if I may quote Rush Limbaugh.

 

They have already destroyed many archaeological relics, deeming them pagan

Now, on to this line of reasoning in a more civilized culture: ours:

ABC News"The president of the Atlanta NAACP says the group wants Confederate symbols — including a giant carving at Stone Mountain Park — removed from all government-owned property and plans to pursue making those changes during the next legislative session.

. .  .

"Dylann Storm Roof, a white man who was photographed with the flag several times, is charged in the shooting deaths and authorities are investigating the killings as a hate crime.

Stone Mountain — roughly 15 miles east of downtown Atlanta — features a large carving of Jefferson Davis, who was president of the Confederacy, and generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The Ku Klux Klan also once held notorious cross-burnings and organizational meetings there." . . .

Why Does the Left Treat Islamic Terrorism with More Nuance Than the Confederate Flag?  . . . "Claude Berube, director of the Naval Academy Museum, recently compared the rush to dig up Confederate graves and tear down statues in the U.S. to Islamic iconoclasm. The Taliban blew up the Bamiyan Buddhas on the grounds that they violate Islamic law. The terrorist group Islamic State is ransacking historic monuments for both God and mammon." . . .

Is the display of the ISIS flag considered a "hate crime"?

Atlanta NAACP Advocates Destroying Stone Mountain Confederate Monument 
. . . "At the heart of these actions is the insistence that offensive memories of history will be erased and a pure ideological creed established. Civilization will be purified from the sins of the past, and a new day will dawn. The destruction is all futile, of course, as human nature and human history will remain unchanged. History will go on much as it always has -- a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly, be it South or North.

"But if you think those who wish to destroy history will stop with destroying monuments and statues; that their lust for purification will be assuaged once the Stone Mountain monument is blown up, you would be terribly wrong." . . .
