German Police Chief: Muslim Refugees Attacking Christian Refugees So Often They Should Be Housed Separately


Administration allows in more than 1500 asylum seekers who engaged in terrorism 'while under duress'

That policy has now been replaced, as Judicial Watch explains:

. . .

. . . "So, a couple of hundred men who went through terrorist military training - including, one supposes, the usual brainwashing - are comfortably ensconced in an American city near you. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it?" . . .

Officials in Germany, Sweden, consider seizing property to house new migrants
. . . "The rules of law and property rights are the first casualties of the EU push for a more ‘generous’ migration policy. Countries like Germany and Sweden are considering revising existing property laws to confiscate homes to house arriving migrants. Austria has changed its constitution to force provinces to accept higher quotas of migrants. The existing law restricted the intake of refugees more than 1.5 percent of the population. The country is expecting to receive about 80,000 asylum claims by the end of 2015. The Austrian news website The Local reports:" . .  .

New website:

The Migration Waves Have Only Just Begun
. . . "In the coming generations the Islamic world and Africa could in principle send a constant stream of migrants ten times as large as what we are seeing now. Even if they did so, it would not solve basic social problems in the Islamic world or Africa. It would, however, probably led to a social collapse in many European countries. Europe must soon decide whether it wants to live or commit suicide." . . .

Ahmed and the art of the psychodrama

"Ahmed the clockmaker and Columbia’s Mattress Girl are reminders that there are careerist advantages to becoming a victim of religious, racial, or sexual prejudice."

Victor Davis Hanson
"During Pope Francis’s parade in Washington, 5-year-old Sophie Cruz suddenly dashed up to the popemobile and handed His Holiness a note about the wretched plight of her illegal-alien parents from Los Angeles, who are apparently terrified of all the recent talk about deportations. The media loved the spontaneity and courage of 5-year-old Sophie.

"But that was not quite the whole story. The entire event reportedly had been scripted for about a year by a group called “Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition,” which, in actuality, is not about immigration per se, but rather full rights for illegal immigrants. According to spokesman Juan Jose Gutierrez, the group had carefully planned Sophie’s dash: “We planned to do this from the moment we learned he was coming to the States….We have been working for a while now trying to sensitize the American public that dealing with immigration is not just dealing with the people who came in without proper documents but that we also have … countless children whose parents are undocumented.”

"Using a 5-year-old girl under the false pretenses of a spontaneous outburst of emotion seems about as authentic as deliberately conflating legal immigration — the United States accepts more immigrants than does any other nation — with illegal immigrants who deliberately and knowingly break federal law to enter the U.S."
. . .
"Recently, social media created a victim-hero out of 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, whose plight with local school authorities earned him global commiseration — and invitations to visit almost everyone from Barack Obama in the White House and Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook to the United Nations.  How did teenager Ahmed become an international celebrity?"  Full article here.

What Ben Carson got right about a Muslim president

What Ben Carson Got Right about whether a Muslim Should Be President

. . . "Because it represented the wholesale rejection of an entire group of people, the first of these two positions deserved the criticism that it received. I will not add to it here. Instead, I want to take a closer look at Carson’s second position, which seems to me to be infinitely more defensible, and perhaps even worthy of esteem. As I suggested last week, I am much more interested in individuals than I am in groups, and in consequence have little time for any supposition that rests upon presumptuous collectivization. But — and this is important — to recognize that each candidate is ultimately an individual is by no means to conclude that voters should refrain from asking questions about his religion or his background. " . . .

Ben Carson and Islam

. . . "Islam’s sharia is a code premised on the principles that Allah has prescribed the ideal way for human life to be lived; that people are required to submit to that prescription; and that Islamic governments exist to enforce that requirement. Our Constitution, to the contrary, is premised on the principles that we are free to choose how we will live; the laws we make are not required to comply with the principles of any religion; and that government is our servant, not our master." . . .

What a Grownup Foreign Policy Would Look Like

Jennifer Rubin

In the introduction to the John Hay Initiative’s e-book “Choosing to Lead,” Peter Wehner writes:

Those running for high public office are likely to find the American people somewhat disoriented, feeling vulnerable, anxious, and unusually powerless in the face of global affairs. There can be little wonder why. The United States has waged war for nearly fifteen years and undertaken “nation-building” operations that turned out to be more difficult and costly than we imagined. If previous administrations overestimated America’s capacity to shape events, the current Administration has made the United States a reluctant and often passive world power, and the world is more turbulent and dangerous because of it.

. . . "Second, JHI seeks to address the vacuums Obama left around the globe that were filled by bad actors, including Russia, China, Iran, Syria and Islamic jihadists. Implicit in that is a recognition that the United States cannot leave to “history” or to other powers the job of ensuring international stability and peace. That does not necessarily or even frequently necessitate military action. With regard to Russia, for example, Paula Dobriansky and David Kramer suggest:" . . .More at this link

However, according to the Telegraph.co.uk, WGN, stated that “the image came from its image bank, and they ‘failed to recognise that the image was an offensive Nazi symbol. ' ’”. . .

Obama's Hope-and-Change Foreign Policy

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2015/02/05/obama-radical-islam/

Victor Davis Hanson

. . . "Ditto Israel. The Obama administration does not seem to care much that Israel is democratic and pro-Western and that it created a successful economy ex nihilo. Instead, it represents Westernism at the expense of revolutionary entities like the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and perhaps now even Hezbollah. Thus, from the beginning of the Obama administration, its Middle East invective was aimed not at Iran, Hamas, or the Muslim Brotherhood, but at Israel in general and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu in particular. Like the Kurds, whom Obama has largely neglected, Israel is simply too successful, too unlike the failures elsewhere in the Middle East, and too patently pro-American.

Obama and Putin's meeting; who do you think dominated?

I do not trust this man's desire to give us good advice. But I have no respect for Obama's world view or priorities. TD

Putin to those who supported “Arab Spring” in Middle East: “Do you realize what you have done?”
“Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?”

. . . He proposed a “generally broad international coalition against terrorism,” likening the suggestion to the anti-Hitler coalition that brought together disparate interests to battle fascism in Europe.

Obama will be forced to play Putin's game in Syria   "Russian president Vladimir Putin met with Barack Obama yesterday at the U.N. for 90 minutes, and in that hour and a half, Russia became the dominant power in the Middle East.

. . .

"Halfway measure" is an excellent description of our efforts in Syria to battle the Islamic State.  We have committed the U.S. military to a conflict we have no desire to do what's necessary to win.  And it appears that this immoral policy will continue.

Obama Must Join Putin On ISIS  . . . "In the absence of Western resolve, Putin has taken the initiative. Russian pragmatic actions, tactical in nature, include planes and pilots entering Syria, and setting up an advanced anti-aircraft battery in Syria. In a remarkable few days the number of Russian fighter aircraft in Syria increased from four to twenty-eight, combat aircraft, ground attack aircraft, and bombers. These have been added to the Russian six attack helicopters and tanks in Latakia. Calculations suggest that about 2000 Russian troops are being stationed in the country, to be added to the 1,700 Russian specialists there." . . .

U.N.'s Obama-Putin Show Displays Russian Ambition, U.S. Decline

. . . "The Russian strongman is simply using the most effective anti-U.S. verbal ammunition available; his real goal is Russian ascent and American descent — in other words, a new Cold War.

"But Obama either doesn't know it or doesn't care."

Open Borders

NewsBalance

. . . "A country belongs to its citizens.  That comes from property rights and from a right of association.   As such, it can determine who can enter the country just like you and I can dictate who enters our homes.  Property rights emanates from you owning your own body; who else can own it?   And what your body (and mind) builds is also yours.   Who else deserves the benefit of your efforts?   You must have the right of association.  Whoever becomes your friend is a mutual agreement, probably unwritten or even unsaid.   Such an arrangement violates no one’s liberty.  The friends presumably can make other friends without violating the liberty of anyone.  And breaking a friendship also is not a violation of liberty." . . .
. . .
"So it is charitable to help refugees and it is nice to think people have the ultimate freedom of movement.   But as soon as those movements require crossing borders, it may well violate the liberty of existing citizens.   Liberty can only exist if, in the process, the liberty of others is not violated.  If that last provision is not observed, anarchy is the result.  People do not  have ultimate freedom, only that which doesn’t violate another’s freedom."

Obama plans to internationalize the internet

Lawmakers: U.S. plan for Internet may be unconstitutional

. . . "The group of lawmakers sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office last week, saying the plan to relinquish oversight of Internet domain name functions to a global, multi-stakeholder body raised questions about the administration's "authority to transfer possession and control of critical components of the Internet's infrastructure to a third party."

"The letter was signed by the chairmen of both congressional judiciary committees, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va; presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif. Issa is also a former chairman of the House Oversight Committee.

"The lawmakers point out that the Constitution says "Congress has the exclusive power 'to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States.'" . . .

The Russians mocked this line from Obama

Why are so few Americans aware of how much an embarrassment this president is?

The Internet in Russia blew up over Obama's position on Russia's isolation

"Hundreds of Russians seized on a particular word in President Obama’s speech to the U.N. General Assembly Monday, after he criticized Russian intervention in Ukraine.

“ '…we continue to press for this crisis to be resolved in a way that allows a sovereign and democratic Ukraine to determine its future and control its territory.  Not because we want to isolate Russia — we don’t — but because we want a strong Russia that’s invested in working with us to strengthen the international system as a whole,” Obama said.

"Yeah, right, said Russians, arguing that sanctions against the Kremlin and many of President Vladimir Putin’s business associates have crippled the Russian economy." . . .

How complete is America's "Fundamental transformation"? Have you seen the Iran Nuke Deal?

Black Man Thinkin'    The name of this man is...is...Stanley Levy?

"The U.S. and Iran – along with China, France, Russia, the U.K., and Germany – reached an “agreement” regarding the Iranian Nuclear Program. For Iran, the agreement is as historic as it is beneficial. By simply signing the document, Iran receives:

• Relief from financial and economic sanctions, a move opposed by the Saudis and other Arab states in the region, • Relief – with Russian and Chinese support, and over the objections of the outgoing Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff – from the arms embargo that currently keeps Iran from being even more powerful in the region, and Virtually no restrictions on its nuclear program after 15 years.

"More money, more weapons and, in just a little while, no hindrances. In addition, Iran has already taken over four governments, while negotiating the nuclear treaty with Obama; their imperial intentions in the region are widely known. Since Obama took no strong action opposing Tehran’s ambitions, while negotiating a weak nuclear agreement with them, the U.S. also cedes control of the Middle East to Iran.

"As Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani, said in a televised address, after the agreement’s announcement, “the prayers of Iranians had ‘come true'”.

"For their part, the U.S. and its allies receive…well, that is hard to say.

"How weak is the agreement that the U.S. president insists be implemented? Let’s talk assurances… Obama insists that the limiting aspects, on Iran, of the agreement are not matters of trust, but matters of verification:" . . .
