Obama Trolls for Help on Illegal Immigration: Enter Jeb Bush!

John W. Lillpop

"To the half a dozen or so goofy Republicans who actually savor the notion of a third Bush presidency in less than 30 years, Barack Hussein Obama delivered what one prays will be a kiss of death to the candidacy of  Jeb Bush.

. . .

. . .

“President Barack Obama on Wednesday in Miami urged former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to intercede with Republican House Speaker John Boehner to move forward with immigration reform.

"During his visit to Florida, the president said he appreciates the “concern” about immigration of Jeb Bush, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2016, but he immediately went on to urge him to “talk” with Boehner and other Republican lawmakers about approving a law that alleviates the immigration situation of millions of undocumented foreigners living in this country.' ” . . .

Questions the Press Doesn't Ask Democrats

Mona Charen

"Gov. Scott Walker has leapt to the top of polls in Iowa. As day follows night, he has moved to the center of the liberal press's crosshairs. This is the world we inhabit: When a Democrat is perceived as popular, the press discovers layers of humor and elan we never suspected. When a Republican is gaining strength, the press sharpens its bayonets.

"Based on his response to trap-door questions in the past few days, we've been instructed that Walker a) is a crypto young Earther (or, just as bad, a panderer to same); b) that he ought to have answered the question regarding President Obama's faith with a resounding affirmation of Obama's fitness for sainthood; and c) that he is some sort of coward for not grabbing Rudy Giuliani by the scruff of the neck and escorting him off stage when the former mayor questioned the president's love of country." . . .

"Still, most members of the press are partisans, and one cannot avoid them completely. Republicans should accordingly come prepared to any press encounter with a list of questions they would ask Democrats. If the journalist doesn't ask, the candidate can offer suggestions. For example:" . . .Read more...

Know well those who wish to kill you

Please Read the Koran  
"Greater clarity in the ongoing debate about Islam (radical or otherwise) would surely result from greater familiarity with the source document. 

"There’s a lot of commentary and speculation about the Koran and about those who are informed by its teachings -- about their actions and their motives and their authenticity as Muslims.

"Anyone who has an opinion on the matter would be well served by reading the book. I did, and it was a revelation.
. . .
"A special reward is earned (indeed, the only guarantee of heaven for a Muslim), if he dies in the process of killing an unbeliever, a blasphemer, or an apostate.

"I think that says it all. But don’t take my word for it. Read the book." 


American blogger hacked to death in Bangladesh  "A Bangladeshi-American blogger who wrote often opposing religious extremism was hacked to death on the streets of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, as he returned home from a book fair with his wife. Avijit Roy, whose blog Free Mind spoke out against extremism in all religions, was killed by Muslim extremists who carefully planned and executed the attack professionally."

The fatal flaw in the Iran deal

Charles Krauthammer

"A sunset clause?

"The news from the nuclear talks with Iran was already troubling. Iran was being granted the “right to enrich.” It would be allowed to retain and spin thousands of centrifuges. It could continue construction of the Arak plutonium reactor. Yet so thoroughly was Iran stonewalling International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors that just last Thursday the IAEA reportedits concern “about the possible existence in Iran of undisclosed . . .development of a nuclear payload for a missile.”

" Bad enough. Then it got worse: News leaked Mondayof the elements of a “sunset clause.”. . .

Unbelievable: ‘Human Rights Group’ Says MI5 Is Reason For Jihadi John Beheadings Because They ‘Alienated’ ‘Beautiful, Gentle Young Man’

"The group who helped name Mohammed Emwazi as ISIS executioner Jihadi John caused outrage today after blaming MI5 for pushing him towards his killing spree in Syria.

"Asim Qureshi, research director at the rights group CAGE, described the world’s most wanted man as ‘extremely kind, extremely gentle and the most humble young person that I ever knew’.

"At a press conference today Mr Qureshi was close to tears as he said Emwazi, who is linked to a string of executions of ISIS prisoners, ‘was such a beautiful man’." .

Much more here.

The anger is just a front; one can see the tenderness in his eyes. . . 

If only the world would have offered ‘Jihadi John’ some economic opportunity…

But his real name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer programming. He is believed to have traveled to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined the Islamic State, the group whose barbarity he has come to symbolize.

Obama Dares GOP: “Have a Vote on Whether What I’m Doing Is Legal…I Will Veto”

Weasel Zippers

"Pres. Obama is daring Republicans to vote on whether or not his executive actions are legal.

"Discussing opposition to his executive amnesty orders at an immigration town hall Wednesday, Obama said he would veto the vote because his actions are “the right thing to do”:

“ 'So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I’m doing is legal or not, they can have that vote. I will veto that vote, because I’m absolutely confident that what we’re doing is the right thing to do.' ”  Keep reading…

Obama Putsch: Without authorization by Congress, FCC approves Net Neutrality rules For ‘Open Internet’

Pamela Geller

. . . "Verizon mocks FCC with typewriter font and warns of internet “throwback Thursday” - 

FCC votes 3-2 in favor of net neutrality

"Is there anyone who is surprised that the FCC has voted in favor of net neutrality, and that the vote followed party lines? I doubt it. The general trend has been for greater and greater control by agencies in matters that may seem innocuous, technical, and/or unimportant at the time but can have wide-reaching effects, especially when they are followed by ever-expanding restrictions.

"The net neutrality rules don’t sound so bad. And maybe they’ll stay that way. But I wouldn’t bet a dime on it.

"Here’s the “neutrality” part:" . . . 

Another perspective on the origins of the mutual Obama-Netanyahu disdain

WaPo, via Volokh Conspiracy

. . . "Very succinctly, the Obama Administration came in to office thinking it could either force Netanyahu to make concessions, or force his government to fall.  Both the Shamir and the first Netanyahu governments made concessions and ultimately got tossed out by the voters after tensions rose with the U.S., so this was not a completely unreasonable  assumption.

"However, Obama and his advisors missed several contrary factors.  The Israeli public never liked Obama, never trusted him due to his well-known associations with various anti-Israel leftists such as Rashid Khalidi. Israelis’ impressions were solidified by major blunders made by the Obama Administration, which did not get much attention in the U.S., but did in Israel." . . .

Who’s Really ‘Frayed’ the U.S.-Israel Relationship? Susan Rice and Her Bosses  . . . "Let’s set the record straight on this laughable spin-job. Since 1967, no U.S. administration has been as guilty of “injecting partisanship” into the U.S.-Israel relationship as those of the presidents Rice has served, namely Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. And few officials in the history of the United States have been as guilty as of injecting partisanship, to say nothing of poisonous insults, into that relationship, as Susan Rice.

Obama's Infuriating Town Hall on Immigration

. . . "Right.  Now, there will be consequences for ICE officers who do not obey his illegal executive order.  There will be consequences.  There will be blood.  But there will not be consequences for the millions of illegals who have violated the law for years and entered the country.  No, no, no.  We're gonna ignore that.  Prosecutorial discretion.  We're gonna just choose to ignore the law. 

"So if an ICE agent actually now enforces US law, in doing so defying the president's order to break the law -- 'cause that's what Obama's demanding they do. He's demanding they break the law like he is.  If they don't follow through on his demand to violate the law, there will be consequences.  The ICE agents, yeah, we're gonna get 'em, man, if they don't follow orders, we're gonna get 'em. Who is it now, the enemy?  What's it look like to you?"

. . .

" 'I will ignore the judge's order. I'm not gonna deport anybody who qualifies for my executive action under my prerogatives of prosecutorial discretion.  I, I, I, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine.  I'm king.  Whatever I want to do is what's gonna happen here.  And whenever I want to do it is when it's gonna happen. I don't care what anybody else says."  And then he dared the Republicans to stop him."

How many blondes does it take to leave our borders wide open to terrorists, to neutralize all national defense, and to shred the Constitution?

Deborah C. Tyler  "How many blondes does it take to “spokesmodel” Obama’s and Kerry’s psychopathic reverse victimology that provides cover for bloodthirsty fiends committing atrocities against innocent civilians? How many flaxen chicks does the State Department need to regurgitate a horrifying indifference to human suffering while expostulating sympathy for Islamic monsters?

"Just one – if she’s Marie Harf. It is not only that Harf seems to have graduated from the Glozell School of International Studies and believes the American taxpayer can provide voc rehab for a billion Islamic youths. It is her parrotlike incapacity to name the dropouts from the human race -- the ideological death cultist Islamic sadist-murderers. She will not distinguish them from any other “kids” with AK-47s. Worst of all, she deadpans the State Department’s comprehensive lack of compassion for the victims of today’s holocaust. . .  .

"President of Germany's Central Council of Jews advised against wearing a kippah
in neighborhoods with a high proportion of Muslims on Thursday.

"Speaking in an interview with local radio, Josef Schuster said that observant Jews should consider covering their heads with less conspicuous headgear that would not so clearly identify them as Jews in potentially dangerous neighborhoods.

"Schuster said that the potential for anti-Semitic attacks in the country had risen. He said that he could not have imagined that it would be necessary to give such advice five years ago." . . .

Obama Derangement Syndrome? Scott Walker too?

 Victor Davis Hanson                                     "Some, like Ezra Klein, have posited that Rudy Giuliani’s suggestion that Obama may not be patriotic and Scott Walker’s hesitation to assert that Obama is a Christian illustrate a sort of unhinged Obama Derangement Syndrome.

"Aside from the fact that Obama himself characterized President George W. Bush as “unpatriotic” (for overseeing deficits at about half the size of the debt that Obama will bestow on us in his tenure), and aside from Nancy Pelosi’s and Harry Reid’s chronic tendency to smear their conservative critics as “un-American,” there should be an easy standard to identify the point at which criticism becomes clinically deranged.

"I’d suggest that there is. Certainly, a pathology is at work when writers and artists wish, dream, or fantasize about the death of a sitting president and express such abject, irrational venom in a mainstream venue." . . .

Walker Derangement Syndrome appearing in mainstream media   "The Democratic-media establishment is rolling out the hate for Scott Walker. An article in the New Yorker (“The Dangerous Candidacy of Scott Walker”) by John Cassidy gives away the game in its first sentence:

Let’s stipulate up front that Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, is an odious politician whose ascension to the Presidency would be a disaster.

"Richard Baehr points out that the early 1984 style hate campaign suggests that either Dems are not so comfortable that Clinton is a sure winner, or that they see how well the anti-Romney stuff worked by defining him early for people who were not Republican or engaged in following politics, so they are trying to take down the top candidates on our side early.  So far that looks like Bush and Walker, who seem to be breaking apart from the filed in different ways -- Jeb with money, and establishment support, Walker among conservative  voters."   Thomas Lifson
