Muslim conquest of the west; fruits of American timidity

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel
Refugee Crisis: Violence, Demands, and Muslim Conquest  "As Muslims swarm into Europe, the long-term implications are clear as violence erupts and demands are made.

"For example, the tiny Greek island of Lesbos, situated 6 miles from the Turkish shore, has a population of 85,000. But life for Greeks who live there has changed in hideously threatening ways, as they have been overwhelmed with 25,000 Muslim invaders. With no end in sight. The invaders arrive on inflatable boats, which they slash once they reach the shore. Breitbart reports on German news coverage (RTL):" . . . Read more.

Michelle Malkin: America’s Reckless Refuge for Jihad   "On the anniversary week of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President Obama is rolling out the welcome mat to tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees.

"What could go wrong? There’s no need to hypothesize. Our nation remains utterly incapable of screening out legitimate dreamers from destroyers, liberty-seekers from liberty-stiflers. Indiscriminate asylum and refugee policies rob the truly deserving of an opportunity for freedom — and threaten our national security." . . .

Jennifer Rubin: Timidity in the face of Syrian refugees  "The plight of the Syrian people fleeing the chaotic Middle East created by American retreat is well known. Over 200,000 are dead. Millions are homeless and dispossessed, with diseases like polio spreading among them. The scale of human suffering is unimaginable. As Max Boot discerned: “If you want to see what a post-American world looks like, Syria is it. This is what lack of American leadership produces: a catastrophe of unimaginable and growing scale.' ”

Biden and Warren; the Democrat dream team?

Three Things Will Happen Quickly if Biden and Warren Decide to Run Together


"It was reported today that Joe Biden had a meeting with Elizabeth Warren fueling speculation of a Biden/Warren ticket in 2016. It’s worth noting that Monica Crowley predicted this last week.

"If this actually happens, three things will immediately become apparent.

1. Hillary Clinton is finished.
Progressive activists who make up the base of the Democratic Party will go nuts for this ticket. Hillary Clinton, who is already damaged goods, will lose tons of support.
2. Bernie who?
Bernie Sanders has been nothing more than a stand-in for Elizabeth Warren. If she’s in the running, 99 percent of the people who are flocking to Bernie Sanders rallies will drop him instantly and throw their support behind Warren. The Bernie Sanders campaign will become a speed bump in the road to 2016 overnight.
3. The media will have a collective orgasm.
If Biden and Warren run together, the media will revert to the cult-like coverage they gave to Obama in 2008. Biden’s gaffes will become endearing and folksy. Any mention of Warren’s lies about being a Native American will be declared racist and sexist.

"You should read Professor Jacobson’s take on this at Legal Insurrection."

One source speculated that Joe could promise to serve one term, opening the way for Warren to take the following two terms. Twelve years of leftist Democrat rule, Supreme Court justice picks, and regulations on our backs.  TD

Woman Says Conductor Was Of No Help In Dealing With Subway Flasher


. . . "As CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported, the woman’s post about the experience went viral on social media – along with a complaint that complained that the train conductor seemed uninterested in the problem.

"The underground unpleasantness happened on the No. 3 train in Brooklyn, near the Nevins Street station. The rider, Tiffany Jackson, saw the man masturbating while looking at her and she discreetly snapped a few photos." . . .Remember Bernie Goetz?

Charles Krauthammer on the shame that is the Obama-Kerry-Iran deal

The Iran charade on Capitol Hill


"Congress is finally having its say on the Iran deal. It will be an elaborate charade, however, because, having first gone to the United Nations, President Obama has largely drained congressional action of relevance. At the Security Council, he pushed through a resolution ratifying the deal, thus officially committing the United States as a nation to its implementation — in advance of any congressional action.

"The resolution abolishes the entire legal framework, built over a decade, underlying the international sanctions against Iran. A few months from now, they will be gone. " .
. . .
"Secretary of State John Kerry has darkly warned Israel to not even think about a military strike on the nuclear facilities of a regime whose leader said just Wednesday that Israel will be wiped out within 25 years. The Israelis are now being told additionally — Annex III, Section 10 — that if they attempt just a defensive, nonmilitary cyberattack (a Stuxnet II), the West will help Iran foil it.

"Ask those 42 senators if they even know about this provision. And how they can sign on to such a deal without shame and revulsion."   Emphasis added; TD

How many know that British territory was indeed occupied by the Nazis in WW2?

Occupation of the British Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey


German underground hospital built with imported slave labor
. . . "Repressions and deportations:  The Germans showed in the Channel Islands what they would have done to British Jews had they occupied Britain. There were only a small number of foreign and British Jews in the Channel Islands. Most of the Channel Island's Jews evacuated in June 1940, but officials did not permit foreign Jews to leave for Britain. Three Jewish women of German and Polish nationality, Therese Steiner, Auguste Spitz, and Marianne Grünfeld, had fled Central Europe to Guernsey in the 1930s but had been unable to leave Guernsey as part of the evacuation in 1940 as they were excluded by UK law. They were deported to France in April 1942 to be later shipped to Auschwitz where they died.[6] There were 17 Jews in the Islands when the Germans
arrived. Soon after the German occupation, officials issued the first anti-Jewish Order (October 1940) which instructed the police to identify Jews as part of the registration process. Island authorities complied, and their registration cards were marked with red “J”s; additionally, a list was compiled of Jewish property which were turned over to German authorities.[Fraser] Placards were placed on Jewish shops in German and English –’Jewish Undertaking’, and in turn most of the local Jewish populace had to sell their businesses. The process developed differently in the three islands. Jersey Jews and 22 Jersey islanders died in concentration camps. However, local officials made some effort to mitigate anti-Semitic measures by the Nazi occupying force, and as such refused to require Jews to wear identifying yellow stars and had most former Jewish business returned after the war. Nevertheless, police officials on both Jersey and Guernsey complied with the requirements of civil registration, including Jewish identity, imposed by the Germans (although officials in the registration department also procured false documents for some of those who fell within categories suspected by the Germans).[6] Extra curfews were imposed on the Jewish population of the islands, and most were forced to stay inside for the large part of the day. The Duquemin family was deported as well, but survived the war.[1]
"However, the anti-Jewish repressions were not carried out systematically. Jews of British citizenship were less likely to be persecuted than foreigners. A number of well-known Jews lived through the Occupation in comparative openness, including Marianne Blampied, the wife of artist Edmund Blampied.[6] " . . .  Full article here. Photos added by TD

Who expected to see sights like this?


. . . "These islands were the only British territory to be occupied by the Third Reich and for islanders it was a traumatic experience, and today a well documented one.
"In Guernsey and Jersey part of the population evacuated to the United Kingdom. In Alderney all but a few islanders left their homes for the mainland, and in Sark the population remained intact.
"All the islands suffered an influx of German troops, and the main ones were heavily fortified with reinforced bunkers and light and heavy guns. Hitler considered this as part of his Atlantic Wall, which was built to withstand any invasion by Allied Forces. As Hitler's war machine swept through France, fears were growing in the Channel Islands regarding a possible Nazi invasion.British troops were pulled out of the islands, which were given an open town status." . . .

President Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets if they attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last year, claim sources

President Obama is alleged to have thwarted an Israeli military attack against Iran's nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets

. . . "The report claimed that an unnamed Israeli minister who has good ties with the US administration revealed the attack plan to Secretary of State John Kerry, and that Obama then threatened to shoot down the Israeli jets before they could reach their targets in Iran.
"According to the report, 'Netanyahu and his commanders agreed after four nights of deliberations to task the Israeli army's chief of staff, Benny Gantz, to prepare a qualitative operation against Iran's nuclear program. 
" 'In addition, Netanyahu and his ministers decided to do whatever they could do to thwart a possible agreement between Iran and the White House because such an agreement is, allegedly, a threat to Israel's security.'. . .

Obama Threatens War On Israel If They Attack Iran   "Israel even went so far as to conduct test flights of fighter jets over Iran.

"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry disclosed Netanyahu’s plans, causing Obama to threaten to “shoot down Israeli planes” if they attempted to attack Iran." . . .
Obama declares his readiness to down Israeli fighter jets
. . . "The meeting was held after it became known that Barack Obama's administration and the clergy of Iran had concluded a secret agreement.

"Israel even conducted test flights of its fighter jets in the airspace of Iran after it became possible to overcome the radar protection. However, US Secretary of State John Kerry disclosed Netanyahu's plans. Afterwards, Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli planes on their way to Iran. As a result, the Israeli Prime Minister had to curtail the operation. The relationship between Israel and the United States have been worsening since then.

"Benjamin Netanyahu has recently expressed opposition to Obama's intention to sign the agreement with Iran on its nuclear program. The Israeli politician promised to make every effort not to let the parties sign the document. The White House accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of having a destructive approach to the relations between the United States and Israel. "


Here is the headline as it appeared in Russian

"Обама заявил, что готов сбивать израильские истребители 03.03.2015 | Источник: Правда.Ру - See more at: http://www.pravda.ru/news/world/03-03-2015/1250938-obama-0/#sthash.RVeB1DMB.dpuf




Recently after Speaker of the House, John Boehner publicly announced he had invited Netanyahou to speak to Congress, Obama made a striking reply!
Standing alone
Now Israel considers the prospect of standing alone as a rogue White House continues to exercise a vain effort at preserving Obama’s legacy, whatever that may be, and endangering the existence of the Jewish state by allowing an Iranian nuclear arsenal at the traitorous and bungling hands of the White House with the help of Sec. State John Kerry. This is a perilous prelude to a third world war beginning in the Middle East! Still Congress does nothing to stop the mad man at the helm, Barack Hussein Obama!

The New, New Hillary 4.0

Political Cartoons by Glenn McCoy

Hillary Clinton’s ‘Humor and Heart’ Showcased in Duck-Calling Video
. . . "Hillary Clinton’s latest reboot, as told to New York Times reporter Amy Chozick by campaign insiders, will involve more humor, heart and spontaneity:
There will be no more flip jokes about her private email server. There will be no rope lines to wall off crowds, which added to an impression of aloofness. And there will be new efforts to bring spontaneity to a candidacy that sometimes seems wooden and overly cautious.
"Of course, those spontaneous moments will no doubt be planned in advance, right down to the minutest details." . . .

Michael Ramirez Cartoon
“In 2008, the Democrats were told, ‘Hillary is the heir presumptive. Let her get on with it and win the nomination.’ And she loused it up. She defeated herself,” Steyn said. “This time round, Joe Biden was told again, ‘Hillary is the heir presumptive.’ And she’s loused it up again. And the fact is, neither he nor any other Democrat should just sit around just watching this slow-motion train wreck.”

. . . “ 'I'm gonna fight for all the people like my mother who need somebody in their corner,” Clinton said, before adding: “And they need a leader who cares about them again.”

"The clear implication: America hasn’t had such a leader in recent years. And it’s hard to read that comment as anything but a shot at President Obama, who has occupied the White House for the past 6.5 years." . . .


Political Cartoons by Lisa Benson

"Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) insisted there’s nothing unfair about the party’s minuscule schedule of six sanctioned debates because candidates should be out shaking hands anyway.
"Other Democrats, particularly former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, have complained that the debate schedule is nothing less than a coronation for the DNC’s chosen favorite, Hillary Clinton.
"Without time in front of a national audience, the non-Clinton candidates don’t have much hope of gaining needed traction in the polls." . . .


America's Descent into Lawlessness


Victor Davis Hanson . . . "Hundreds of liberal sanctuary cities have announced that federal immigration law does not apply to them. That scary, neo-Confederate idea of legal nullification was sanctioned by the Obama administration — in a way it never would have been if a city had suspended the Endangered Species Act, emissions standards, or gun-control legislation.

"As a result, once-detained and later-released immigrants with criminal records have murdered innocent American citizens.

"Consider the proposed nuclear deal with Iran. By past custom and practice, the nonproliferation agreement would be treated as what it is — a treaty.

"But ratifying treaties constitutionally requires 67 yes votes from the Senate. Obama could never obtain that margin. So he managed to downgrade the treaty into a mere legal agreement. Then he claimed that the Senate required 67 no votes to override his veto.

"Just as scary is the application of the law on the basis of the perceived politics of a suspect." Read more   Emphasis added, TD





Best quotes from the "Stop Iran" rally

Karin McQuillan   "This is a very dark moment in American history, and indeed world history.    As the Rally Against Iran was in progress on the lawn before the Capital, inside the building, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will do nothing to stop the Democrats from arming and funding Iran, the world’s greatest terror state, Iran.  Is the fate of our country really to be left to such weak and cowardly hands?

"The Democrat and Republican politicians are knowingly sacrificing thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands or millions of lives to their short-term well-being.  For them, it is mere politics as usual.


"But in front of Congress, thousands of citizens gathered to express their outrage and hear from a list of fabulous conservative patriots.  There were great lines from many speakers.  Senator Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Mark Levin, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck were there. Some of the lesser known speakers were amazing.


"The standouts for me were the lead speakers,  Mark Levin, Senator Cruz, and Donald Trump. 


"Michele Bachmann was an unexpected standout.  She alone called for both a legislation and military alternative to what I call the Obama-Iran Treaty." . . .

death to america iran rally sign“They chant ‘death to America’ 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we ought to take them at their word.”  At the anti-Obama/Iran deal rally:
. . . "The crowd, for the most part, was focused on protesting not only the specific Iranian nuclear deal, but the path down which Obama’s foreign policy has taken us. 100% of the attendees I talked to see the deal as one more foolish, stupid, naive move by the Obama Administration. For most, opposition was apolitical; I spoke to many people who were grateful for the protest votes of Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, even if those announcements came too little and too late to give the White House pause.

"These signs were floating around everywhere, and for the most part sum up the mood in the crowd:" . . .

As I walked through the crowd, I saw enormous support not just for our own congress critters voicing opposition to the deal, but for our allies in Israel who have spoken out against doing business with Iran. I talked to several activists who were concerned about the growing divide between the United States and Israel; some expressed doubt as to whether or not the alliance could ever repair itself if Obama and the Democrats manage to get this deal shoved through Congress.

And you thought "Cold Justice" was just another lady cop show

Father convicted of his wife's murder EIGHT YEARS after she disappeared from their home because TV show Cold Justice reviewed the case

During the initial investigation, Goraya told officers his wife might have run away with another man, before changing his story, saying she had gone to New York, California, and as far afield as Ireland

. . . "Another concerning development came weeks later, when Goraya gave their son over to child protective services, despite Rupinder's relatives saying she loved the boy and would never have allowed it if she was intending to return home. 
"While detectives never bought any of Goraya's stories, they also couldn't find any evidence that Rupinder had been harmed, so they couldn't charge him over the disappearance.
"However, when going back over the evidence, the Cold Justice team found multiple people who Goraya had confessed to killing his wife to.
"Neighbors reported Goraya threatening them while drunk, telling them that he could 'make them disappear like my wife'.
"Another witness, Chris Justice, said Goraya told him that he strangled his wife because 'she talked too much and lied to him'.
"Goraya was arrested back in January charged with second degree murder, and was today found guilty after trial." . . .

Galen Institute: ObamaCare co-ops

ObamaCare Co-ops: Cause Célèbre or Costly Conundrum? August 31, 2015
"The Affordable Care Act created a new kind of “cooperative” health insurance arrangement heralded by supporters of health reform.  The co-ops were founded on the idealistic belief that community members could band together to create health insurance companies that would be member-driven, service-oriented, and would not have to answer to shareholders or turn a profit.

"But the 23 co-ops that were created had significant start-up costs, no experiential data upon which to set premiums, generally had to pay extra to lease physician and hospital networks, and had few people in the companies and none on their boards with insurance experience.
. . .
"This paper will take a deeper look at co-ops in Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, and other states that reveal their precarious financial condition.

Ann Coulter on the Muslim invasion of Western nations

ItalyInvasion


"Among the benefits of Donald Trump's proposed immigration moratorium is that we won't have to keep importing hordes of Third World "refugees," such as the ones currently swarming across Europe.

 "For decades, the United States has taken in
far more refugees than the entire rest of the world combined
. Nearly half of the refugees we take in are Muslim.

 "And it's worked out great!

 "Fazliddin Kurbanov, or "Idaho man," as he is dutifully described in the American media, was brought to the U.S. as a refugee in 2009, joining hundreds of other Uzbeks in Boise, Idaho. He came with his wife and young child, his sister and his two ailing parents. (What an economic powerhouse that family must be. Marco Rubio is right: We're making all kinds of money off of immigrants!)

"   So grateful was Kurbanov to America for rescuing his entire family from "persecution" that he spent the next few years conspiring to commit jihad against us.

"  As he cheerfully told his terrorist buddies back in Uzbekistan: "We are the closest ones to infidels. We have almost everything. What would you say if, with the help of God, we implement a martyrdom act? ... There are military installations right here, targets, and vehicles are available as well." . . .

Obama at the Gates of Vienna  "Yes, of course ISIS is Islamic. "

" . . .Harris makes a point of saying: “In drawing a connection between the doctrine of Islam and jihadist violence, I am talking about ideas and their consequences, not about 1.5 billion nominal Muslims, many of whom do not take their religion very seriously.However, he goes on to point out that:
a belief in martyrdom, a hatred of infidels, and a commitment to violent jihad are not fringe phenomena in the Muslim world. These preoccupations are supported by the Koran and numerous hadith. That is why the popular Saudi cleric Mohammed Al-Areefi sounds like the ISIS army chaplain. The man has 9.5 million followers on Twitter (twice as many as Pope Francis has). If you can find an important distinction between the faith he preaches and that which motivates the savagery of ISIS, you should probably consult a neurologist.
Understanding and criticizing the doctrine of Islam — and finding some way to inspire Muslims to reform it — is one of the most important challenges the civilized world now faces. But the task isn’t as simple as discrediting the false doctrines of Muslim “extremists,” because most of their views are not false by the light of scripture. A hatred of infidels is arguably the central message of the Koran. The reality of martyrdom and the sanctity of armed jihad are about as controversial under Islam as the resurrection of Jesus is under Christianity. It is not an accident that millions of Muslims recite the shahadah or make pilgrimage to Mecca. Neither is it an accident that horrific footage of infidels and apostates being decapitated has become a popular form of pornography throughout the Muslim world. Each of these practices, including this ghastly method of murder, find explicit support in scripture.
. . .
" . . .What Hitchens left out is the chilling demand that Mehmet IV, the Sultan of the Islamic Ottoman Empire, made of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I:
Primarily we order You to await Us in Your residence city of Vienna so that We can decapitate You.…We will exterminate You and all Your followers.…Children and grown-ups will be exposed to the most atrocious tortures before put to an end in the most ignominious way imaginable…
Background:  Battle of Vienna * The battle took place in 1683....on September 11
We will yet see if hordes of Muslim immigrants make Vienna their destination.

*Not to be confused with the siege of Vienna in 1485
