More British Muslims are fighting for the Islamic State than the Army

"This British newspaper will give you all kinds of twisted, mental gymnastics for it — but there is only one. They’re Muslims, that’s why. For centuries, immigrants have come to the West seeking a better life, etc. — only Muslims come with a ready-made model of society and governance that they consider superior to that of the country they’re coming to.
"This young Muslim who penned this piece says it is a “failure of integration in society that is causing young Muslims to wage jihad.” But what is causing that failure to integrate? Islam.
"The young man who wrote this piece is not the problem. There is a problem in Islam — and we can’t talk about the problem."
The Liberal Circus; Lately liberalism has gone from psychodrama to farce.
Victor Davis Hanson "Take Barack Obama. He has gone from mild displeasure with Israel to downright antipathy. Suddenly we are in a surreal world where off-the-record slurs from the administration against Benjamin Netanyahu as a coward and chickensh-t have gone to full-fledged attacks from John Kerry and Susan Rice, to efforts of former Obama political operatives to defeat the Israeli prime minister at the polls, to concessions to Iran and to indifference about the attacks on Jews in Paris. Who would have believed that Iranian leaders who just ordered bombing runs on a mock U.S. carrier could be treated with more deference than the prime minister of Israel? What started out six years as pressure on Israel to dismantle so-called settlements has ended up with a full-fledged vendetta against a foreign head of state." . . .
Portrait artist says he painted Lewinsky reference in Bill Clinton’s official painting
Washington Post
"A cursory glance at the official painting of President Bill Clinton that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery would easily miss an ode to the lowest point of his presidency — Monica Lewinsky.
"But it’s there, the artist revealed in an interview with the Philadelphia Daily News. Philadelphia area painter Nelson Shanks cunningly included a shadow over the fireplace cast from a blue dress on a mannequin.
"Shanks said painting Clinton was his hardest assignment because “he is probably the most famous liar of all time.” So he added the nod to the Lewinsky scandal because it had cast a shadow over Clinton’s presidency.". . .
Dem Maria Cardona Struggles to Defend Clinton’s Lack of Accomplishments at State Dept
Washington Free Beacon
"Not even a Democratic strategist could deliver an accomplishment Hillary Clinton earned during her time as Secretary of State.
“ 'Well, the short answer to that is that she focused on making sure that America was stronger abroad than it was when Obama took office,” strategist Maria Cardona said.
"The other pundits on the roundtable rebuked her answer.
"Republicans are sure to attack Clinton on her record as Secretary of State. The list of failed states in the Middle East grows, while the Islamic State poses a greater threat than ever before.
Mark Halperin challenged Cardona.
“ 'Besides Iran and Cuba, name a country who the United States has better relationships with now than when President Obama took office,” Halperin said.
"Cardona said that the world “is a complicated place.” She said Clinton had many back-door conversations that improved America’s standing in the world.
"The translation of that response is that there is no strong answer. Clinton does not have a single identifiable accomplishment to showcase next to a string of disasters such as Benghazi during her time in Foggy Bottom."
Bibi's Truth: Forty years of Liberal Betrayal
"Bibi will try to tell the truth.
"Who will you listen to? This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. This time it really matters. Life or death, war or peace, lies or the truth.
"This time it’s literally life or death -– not just for one person, but for entire nations and ethnic peoples.
"If you doubt that, just see what ISIS is doing to the indigenous Christians who lived in the Middle East centuries before Islam.
"Here’s what I hope he will say." . . . More here
Kerry: We deserve the benefit of doubt on Iran deal
"Otherwise, why is Netanyahu coming to Washington? He doesn't trust the Iranians. Most of America doesn't trust the Iranians. And by extension, no one trusts the secretary of state."
Revisiting Obama’s past; Would the public be ready to listen?
Legal Insurrection
. . . "Obama—such a nice young man, so well-spoken, conservative-dressing, with a pleasant and heartfelt message of coming together with no red or blue America. That made those tales of strange ideological bedfellows sound like tinfoil territory. One had to really study Obama in depth to understand that behind this smoke there might be some real fire. Otherwise, there was no context in which the stories could fit, and without a context they were easy to dismiss.
"People who wanted to believe in Obama (and some of this was the understandable desire to elect America’s first black president) had no motivation to look deeply into the past and find a thread connecting it all, and little reason to believe it really mattered.
"But now if certain politicians (Giuliani, for example, who has the added advantage of not running for office) bring these topics up again, not only are people familiar with them from before and so they no longer sound so strange, but more importantly Obama has given us the context: his six years of governing.
"Many people who originally supported him are doubting him or confused by him, and could be a lot more open to actually listening to facts about his past and understanding that they are probably meaningful and not just some random youthful associations." . . .
Alan Caruba: Green Slander
Warning Signs
"It is a sure sign that
the advocates of the “global warming” and “climate change” hoaxes know that the
public no longer believes that the former is occurring or that the latter
represents an immediate, global threat.
"Even though the “climate
skeptics”, scientists who have produced research proving false methodology and
the conclusions based on it are quite few in number, an effort to silence
them by smearing their reputations and denying funding for their work has been
launched and it is based entirely on a lie.
"Scientists are supposed
to be skeptical, not only of other scientist’s findings, but their own. Good
science must be able to reproduce the results of published research. In the
case of the many computer models cited as proof that global warming was
occurring or would, the passing years have demonstrated that none were accurate.
"As Joseph L. Bast,
president of The Heartland Institute and Joseph A. Morris, an attorney who has
fought in several countries to defend free speech, wrote in a February 24
commentary, “The Crucifixion of Dr. Wei-Hock Soon”, of
an article co-authored with Christopher Monckton, Matt Briggs, and David
Legates, and published in the Science
Bulletin, a publication of the Chinese Academy of Sciences “The article
reveals what appears to be an error in the computer models used to predict
global warming that leads models to over-estimate future warming by a factor of three.”
(Emphasis added) Their commentary has been downloaded more than 10,000

He Warmed Our Heart As Young Forrest Gump. But Wait Until You See Him Now… Wow.
Boredom Therapy by way of iotwreport
"In the summer of 1994, Forrest Gump took the world by storm and captured our hearts in the process. The film would go on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Tom Hanks and Best Director for Robert Zemeckis. But thats the part that everyone already knows.
"What you might not know is that there was one cast member who did not get to attend the Oscars that year. And two decades later, his story has veered away from the big screen and into somewhere a little closer to the real Forrest Gump.
Michael Connor Humphreys, then 8-years-old, played young Forrest in the 1994 film.

In Israel’s hour of need
Caroline Glick
. . . "In recent years [Netanyahu] released terrorist murderers from prison. He abrogated Jewish property rights in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. He agreed to support the establishment of a Palestinian state west of the Jordan River. He agreed to keep giving the Palestinians of Gaza free electricity while they waged war against Israel. He did all of these things in a bid to accommodate US President Barack Obama and win over the media, while keeping the leftist parties in his coalitions happy.
"For his part, for the past six years Obama has undermined Israel’s national security. He has publicly humiliated Netanyahu repeatedly.
"He has delegitimized Israel’s very existence, embracing the jihadist lie that Israel’s existence is the product of post-Holocaust European guilt rather than 4,000 years of Jewish history."
