Israel’s peace fantasists in action

"The Saudis are in play, casting about for partners.

"In a clear vote of no-confidence in US President Barack Obama’s leadership, Saudi King Salman led several Arab leaders in blowing off Obama’s Camp David summit this week. The summit was meant to compensate the Sunni Arabs for Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran.

"Salman’s decision is further proof that US-Saudi relations have jumped the tracks. For 70 years the Saudis subcontracted their national security to the US military. Deals were closed with a wink and a nod. That’s all over now.

"Obama has destroyed Washington’s credibility. Salman views its gentleman’s agreements as worthless. All he wants now is military hardware. And for that, he can send a stand-in.
The Saudis never put all their eggs in America’s basket. For 70 years the Saudis played a double game, maintaining strategic alliances both with the liberal West and the most reactionary forces in the Islamic world. The Saudis pocketed petrodollars from America and Europe and transferred them to terrorists and jihadist preachers in mosques in the US, Europe and worldwide." . . .

Oregon Wedding Cakes Are Just the Excuse   "Theoretically, liberalism picks pluralism over public morality, nowhere more so than in the intimate realm of human sexuality.

" But the regulatory state has gotten so large, and so powerful, with such extensive reach into Americans’ livelihoods, that the Left cannot resist using it to impose its sexual moral views on the rest of us.

"Take Melissa and Aaron Klein, whose little Oregon bakery refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. It is not technically a crime to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake, so instead of being tried in a court of law, they were tried by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries.

" Why can gay bakers refuse to bake a Celebrate NOM (the National Organization for Marriage) cake, but Aaron and Melissa Klein must bake a gay wedding cake or pay the penalty?"

Why Does It Take A Donald Trump To Rouse Republicans On Sanctuary Cities?

Why Does It Take A Donald Trump To Rouse Republicans On Sanctuary Cities? . . . "California Gov. Jerry Brown and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, both of whom helped enact laws to thwart deportations of illegal criminals, have stayed out of sight.

"Most of the attention, however, has focused on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, who immediately brought up the disproportionate criminality among illegal immigrants and was attacked with the race card, the nativist card, a beauty queen he employs and corporate boycotters tut-tutting their political correctness." . . .


All the Areas Where Illegal Aliens Aren’t Deported, on One Map


"A map created by the Center for Immigration Studies shows over 200 states, counties, and cities in the United States known as “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants. In these locales, law officers disobey Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer orders for criminal illegal aliens and hinder the flow of pertinent information about them to federal immigration agents. Depending on the definition of a sanctuary city, the number could exceed 300." . . . Read more

Megyn Kelly: Why Is Obama Ignoring Murder Of Katie Steinle?

Real Clear Politics " FOX News' Megyn Kelly opened Thursday night's broadcast of her show with a monologue asking why President Obama and the White House won't give Katie Steinle, the woman killed by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco, the same attention it gave to cases involving Freddie Brown, Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin."

. . . "A stark contrast to what we saw after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson. A man we know was attacking a police officer at the time of his death. His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance, his death drew comments from President Obama personally and his administration also sent in the DOJ and 40 FBI agents dispatched to Missouri after Michael Brown was killed. Where is the swarm of agents in San Francisco?

"Then there was Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a repeat drug offender who was killed in police custody. Here again his funeral was attended by three Obama administration officials and again the President spoke personally to Freddie Gray's death. And again sent the DOJ in to investigate. When Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida, the president spoke to his death which was later ruled to be in self-defense. But Katie Steinle, nothing. No comments, no swarm of FBI agents, no DOJ investigation, nothing. Why?"

Mark Levin: We Are Under ‘Martial Law’ Already


"The United States under this administration is currently not engaged in the pursuit of liberty or equality of opportunity, rather, ours is a country pursuing social engineering and redistribution to equalize the end results of every single thing that takes place.

"Barack Obama and his team are social engineering the nation into a utopian vision that has little relation to what our Founding Fathers foresaw when they developed our Constitution.

"Barack Obama is diversifying so-called wealthy neighborhoods seemingly without any authority to do so. He’s directly addressing the suburbs which he sees as white and privileged.

"He believes there is one pot of resources and the suburbs are stealing them from the urban areas. He seeks to remedy that and equalize all resources.

"The standard the left is using to end discrimination is based on the end result not the intentions. They want equal outcomes in other words.

"The mainstream media has been largely silent on the issue. Obama can do anything he wants and few with a megaphone question any of his actions." . . .

Fight The Power: Bold White Man Launches Petition To Change “Cracker Barrel” To “Caucasian Barrel”


"Ryan Koch, a bold white man from Des Moines, Iowa, launched a petition this week to change the name of the “Cracker Barrel” restaurant to “Caucasian Barrel,” because as Koch astutely wrote, “white people should have something to be offended by too!”

“ 'I say all of us European Americans start protesting Cracker Barrel,” the resolute champion for equality wrote on his Change.org petition. “It uses an offensive slur and it is deeply offensive and mocks our long and proud heritage”:
The name is offensive, their logo stereotypes European Americans as people who sit on chairs and lean against what appears to be a bourbon barrel, claiming we are all a bunch of alcoholics. Sure, they’ll SAY it’s a “cracker” barrel but everyone knows crackers don’t come in barrels, they come in bags and boxes!
"Indeed, Mr. Koch. Indeed!

"Like Young Conservatives contributor Yehuda Remer wrote, this petition is “hilariously awesome” because it does a great job mocking the race baiters." . . .

Hillary Clinton's Blizzard of Lies, The Sequel  . . . " New York Times columnist Bill Safire must be rolling in his grave. A 1996 essay of his, "Blizzard of Lies," began, "Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our first lady — a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation — is a congenital liar." . . .

Jonah Goldberg*; NRO: Estrangement From the Truth Is a Problem for Hillary
. . . "But Bernstein is right about one thing: Hillary is a specialist at lying. And that’s a problem for her. Her husband was — and is — a prodigy at deceit, a renaissance man of lying. If football were a game of lies, he could play every position on offense and defense.
"Mrs. Clinton, alas, is more like a veteran coach — she’s adept at telling others how to lie on her behalf. But she’s not a natural liar herself, and it shows. At a time when the Democratic base craves authenticity (hence the mobs at Bernie Sanders rallies), Clinton seems utterly fabricated (hence her inability to get a capacity crowd at her announcement speech last month in New York City). Her best hope now would be to stop pandering to Sanders’s fans and instead explain where she and Sanders differ on policy. But that would require a level of political authenticity she’s forgotten how to fake convincingly."
* Goldberg is the opinion writer that Trump said can't buy a pair of pants. To wit:
 "[Trump is] repeating himself. I'm like Jeb on this. I'm done. The man's specialty [is] to suck oxygen, I'm going to be breathing fresh air... And I do want to make an appeal to the viewers out there to crowdsource, to buy Jonah a pair of pants. I think if you look under the table it's disgraceful the way he comes to the show."  Ann Althouse, quoting Charles Krauthammer

About that subpoena…Hillary’s CNN interview gets the Trey Gowdy fact check treatment

 Hillary Clinton told CNN Tuesday she was never subpoenaed to testify on Benghazi. One hour later, House Republicans produced the subpoena they sent her to testify about Benghazi. Democrats won the argument, saying it's just like Republicans to make fun of a woman who suffered a head injury.  Comedian Argus Hamilton

Legal Insurrection. . . “You know you’re starting with so many assumptions that are, I’ve never had a subpoena, there is no, again, let’s take a deep breath here,” said Mrs. Clinton, obviously rattled and speaking to herself.

Dems File Bill Banning Words “Husband” And “Wife” From U.S. Laws… Are you beginning to fear this Democrat party?


More than two dozen Democrats have proposed legislation that would eliminate the words “husband” and “wife” from federal law.

Those “gendered terms” would be replaced by “gender-neutral” words like “spouse” or “married couple,” according to the bill from Rep. Lois Capps, D-Calif.

“The Amend the Code for Marriage Equality Act recognizes that the words in our laws have meaning and can continue to reflect prejudice and discrimination even when rendered null by our highest courts,” Capps said. “Our values as a country are reflected in our laws. I authored this bill because it is imperative that our federal code reflect the equality of all marriages.”

Immigration Policy, Mexican Style

American Thinker. . . "Meanwhile, Trump is being vindicated on a daily basis.  A young woman murdered in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant previously deported five times.  Another illegal alien from Mexico, who was deported last year, killed and burned a Washington woman and her son.  Over four thousand illegal alien pedophiles were apprehended in one state in one year.  And another illegal immigrant raping and sodomizing a 10-year-old Alabama girl.  Are these Mexico’s best and brightest coming to America to do the jobs Americans won’t do?

"Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush “has always had strong ties with Mexico” and “great respect and affection for our neighbors.”  Jeb is also “indignant,” as “he takes Donald Trump’s remarks personally.”  So here’s an idea.  Let’s reform our immigration system Mexican style.  This is how it might look based on Mexican immigration law." . . .
