Obama: World 'More Stable Than It Was 5 Years Ago,' But al Qaeda 'Does Pose Serious Threats'

CNS News  "He also claimed that al Qaida does not have the capacity to carry out attacks like the one on 9-11,  but it "does pose serious threats."
Partly as a result of the U.S winding down two wars -- and because of U.S. cooperation with its allies and partners -- "the world is more stable than it was five years ago," but "dangers remain," the president said."   

 

Obama Has Touted Al Qaeda’s Demise 32 Times since Benghazi Attack

 

Obama To UN: Hey, Did You Guys Know I Killed Bin Laden?…  "By the end of his term he’s going to be claiming he killed Bin Laden with his bare hands."

I believe the Bible teaches that when a New Testament saint dies, his spirit immediately enters into the presence of God ("to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord"). His (or her) earthly body remains in the grave, awaiting the return of Christ and its resurrection and transformation. As I understand it, when Christ returns to this earth again our spirit, which has been present with the Lord, is then united with our resurrection body, which is also our "glorified body."   Bible.org

The First Four Obamacare Train Wrecks… With Many More to Come

 ..."I’ll give you a moment to chuckle at Obama-backing union members finding their health coverage is now all loused up, but it goes to illustrate just how badly this legislative and regulatory monstrosity is going to hit everyone – even the folks it would be most expected to help."

 

Thomas Sowell; The Defunding Distraction  "The shutdown fight will serve only to draw attention away from Obama’s many scandals."

As more and more revelations have come to light about the cynical and dangerous misuse of the Internal Revenue Service to harass and sabotage conservative political groups, the lies that the Obama administration initially told about this, as part of the cover-up, have also been exposed.

 

Time for Muslims to Confront Muslim Evil ; Imams should say it: Muslims who kill civilians are going to Hell.

Dream on. I do not see this happening; world domination is part of the teachings of the Koran.

Dennis Prager   "With this weekend’s massacre by Muslim terrorists of scores of innocent civilians at a mall in Nairobi, Kenya, and Muslim terrorists’ killing about 80 Christians at a Christian church in Pakistan, most people wonder what, if anything, in addition to a continuing war on terror, can be done to minimize the scourge of Islamic brutality.
"The answer lies with Muslims themselves. Specifically, Muslim religious leaders around the world must announce that any Muslim who deliberately targets non-combatants for death goes to Hell."

There have been huge Muslim demonstrations against cartoons depicting Mohammed and any other perceived “insult” against Islam. But I am unaware of a single demonstration of Muslims against the Muslim terror directed at non-Muslims.

As frequently noted here.

The Airbrushing of Hillary Clinton

Airbrushing Hillary

  
From New York Magazine; Hillary in Midair   ..."In a sense, the Weiner scandal is a ghost of Clintonworld  past, summoning sordid images of unruly appetites and bimbo eruptions, exactly the sort of thing that needs to be walled off and excised in a 2016 campaign. Former advisers from State say any future campaign will take a page from Clinton’s relatively peaceful past four years. “In contrast with reports of disunity in the 2008 campaign,” says Kurt Campbell, “the State Department was operated with a high degree of harmony and
collegiality.' ”
Just the same, lock up the interns; here comes Bill again.

The 10 Most Cringe Worthy Parts of NYMag’s Glowing Hillary Profile*   ...."Regardless of the facts[!], Republicans are liable to use Benghazi as a wedge to pry back her stately exterior, goading her into an outburst, once again revealing the polarizing figure who saw vast right-wing conspiracies and tried ginning up government health care against the political tides of Newt Gingrich.' ”

Lost in Clintonworld   "We are told that “[a]t State, she was the head of a smoothly running 70,000-person institution,” which sounds absurd when one considers the whirlwind of criticism that the State Department suffered after the Benghazi debacle on September 11, 2012—an organization that ignored the embassy’s requests for additional security and kept the families of victims in the dark, but could afford to spend $630,000 to generate “likes” for the State Department Facebook page."

Hansen on President Rouhani and Peace Studies

Victor Davis Hanson  "There is a long history of foreign authoritarians channeling left-wing talking points when they appeal to an American audience, apparently on the theory that they score points against the American establishment. Bin Laden and Dr. Zawahiri used to quote back Noam Chomsky to us, and cited everything from global warming to the lack of campaign-financing reform as the sort of goads that drove them to murder Westerners. Vladimir Putin’s recent New York Times letter was full of the same boilerplate, in general alluding negatively to George Bush while resonating with Barack Obama’s earlier warnings on the dangers of claiming American exceptionalism. But the recent Washington Post (Russians get the New York Times; Iranians settle for the Washington Post?) letter to us by the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani sounded as if it was a co-effort of the Campus Diversity Czar and the head of Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies department."

Defund now – 'for when shall we be stronger?'

David Limbaugh quotes Patrick Henry in urging GOP to fight 'statist assaults on our freedoms'
David Limbaugh  "No, Patrick Henry is no longer with us, and the once-tyrannical British empire is not our foe, but this nation – since it acquired its independence shortly after Henry’s call for it – has never faced such a sustained assault from within on its liberty and its founding principles.
"It is high time that the conservative movement, the Republican Party and every American patriot united together to actively and fiercely oppose the statist assaults on our freedoms and, in particular, the legislative menace known as Obamacare."
....

"You want to talk pragmatism? Once Obamacare is fully implemented, it will not implode of its own weight as our pragmatic Pollyannas predict. Behemoth entitlements never do."....

Joe Biden, the Confucius of the low-information crowd

 

 

Lest we all forget:

(Oct, 2012) Joe Biden Makes History  "As for Joe Biden, his disrespectfulness was of historic proportions. Only the blindest partisan Democrats, or really angry liberals, liked what Biden did.

“I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a debate where one candidate was as openly disrespectful … and openly contemptuous,” observed a stunned Chris Wallace, a veteran reporter who has watched every presidential and vice-presidential debate since Kennedy v. Nixon in 1960." 

Via Joe Biden is a Moron; Facebook, which they really mean in a nice way.

What you'll actually pay for Obamacare

CNN/Money

"Millions of Americans won't have to pay full price for their Obamacare health insurance next year. But just how much they'll have to fork over depends on a couple different things.

"Thanks to subsidies from the federal government, which will help pay for health insurance on state-based exchanges starting in 2014, many low- to moderate-income Americans will get a break on their premiums."
....
 "The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 48% of Americans who buy individual insurance today would be eligible for subsidies. They would receive an average of $5,548, which would cover 66% of the price."
....
Here's how you qualify:

Hat tip to De-Bunking GOP Political Talking Points, which states:
" GOP claims rates will go up 32%: "The analysis estimated that for the individual, or nongroup, market, the “cost per member per month will increase 32 percent under ACA, compared to pre-ACA projections.” But that’s costs for insurance companies, not an increase in premiums. In fact, the report didn’t attempt to estimate what the change might be in premiums.

"While the CBO said that the average premium per person in the individual market would go up by 10 percent to 13 percent because of the health care law, it added that for most, subsidies would push their costs “well below” what they would have been charged in the absence of the law. In its latest report, the CBO says about 80 percent of an estimated 25 million joining the exchanges by 2023 will receive subsidies. In addition, for those seeing an increase in cost, they would also see an increase in coverage. Their current cheaper policy with high deductibles and co-pays and upper limits for yearly payouts would be replaced with better standardized plans."

Islam and the Nairobi Mall

Atlas Shrugs

Mall survivors recount executions of non-Muslims by terrorists  "This wrinkle may mean that al-Shabab reads the polls and sees how unpopular al-Qaeda is - largely because they kill more Muslims than anyone else. What is truly chilling is that the gunmen apparently took their time, cold bloodedly executing non-Muslims."

For The Mall Butchers in Kenya  "Who can doubt that the face of Islam is irrevocably shattered and that it is duly perceived by a growing mass of humanity as a twisted totalitarian march to subdue the earth?"
....
"A day is coming when every black deed committed in the name of Allah will be judged by the One in Whom No Shadow Resides. The blood that screams out from the earth that is forever shed in the name of your schizophrenic prophet will then choke you a thousandfold -- for by virtue of your diseased hearts you have mocked the Heavens and caused men to curse the Creator of All Things Beautiful and True."

 

 The Evil of Global Jihad ;This past weekend makes clear the jihadi path.
"Just as we must guard against those who would use atrocities to spread bigotry, so must Salafi Jihadism meet our unhesitating resolve. These terrorists pursue the destruction of democratic society. They want us to believe that opposing them is futile. That they’ve already won.
"Instead, faced with their threats, we must furnish something else — a renewed stand against them."

 

Taqiyya in action:  Bizarre Video Appears to Show Pro-Muslim Brotherhood ‘Protesters’  Staging Dramatic Poses and Injuries for Cameras  "The scene plays out like an actual movie shoot as so-called demonstrators freeze and hold their dramatic poses for the cameras before suddenly snapping back into action. Other “protesters” can be seen lying on the ground lifelessly or faking injuries while pictures are snapped.

"Still pictures of the scene, without knowing the context in which they were shot, appear to show tragic scenes of violence and chaos. Take a look:

This works just fine with Code Pink and the anti-West left. Are these women aware they would be raped as prostitutes in the Near and Middle East?

The 5 Most Underrated Walt Disney World Experiences

PJ Media

"First-time guests — and even a few seasoned guests — often miss out on off-the-beaten-path attractions and little underrated gems throughout Walt Disney World. Sometimes these experiences go unnoticed because they’re older and don’t take advantage of flashy new technology. Others wind up being “best kept secrets” for guests who stay on property. Occasionally, guests just walk by others without even noticing them."

A Word We in the West Must Understand: How Taqiyya Alters Islam's Rules of War

Middle East Quarterly  "Islam must seem a paradoxical religion to non-Muslims. On the one hand, it is constantly being portrayed as the religion of peace; on the other, its adherents are responsible for the majority of terror attacks around the world. Apologists for Islam emphasize that it is a faith built upon high ethical standards; others stress that it is a religion of the law. Islam's dual notions of truth and falsehood further reveal its paradoxical nature: While the Qur'an is against believers deceiving other believers—for "surely God guides not him who is prodigal and a liar"—deception directed at non-Muslims, generally known in Arabic as taqiyya, also has Qur'anic support and falls within the legal category of things that are permissible for Muslims.

Taqiyya pronunciation Audio.

Taqiyya vs. the President  "In a previous essay, the present writer exposed the concept of "taqiyya" as a traditional Muslim form of deceit employed by Yasir Arafat, Mahmoud Abbas, and other leaders of the Arab terror war against Israel. El-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood also are using taqiyya against the USA and other western countries, and with frightening success."
