As in the late1930s, Western democracies look for support standing up to mass murderers and find nothing but pacifism

France ‘declares war’ against ISIS: Start of WWIII?   "Reports are coming in that on Monday France will invoke Article 5 of the NATO Mutual Defense Treaty. NATO’s collective defense clause compels all NATO members – including America – to fight alongside France against ISIS. In response to Friday’s series of coordinated attacks across Paris, French President Francois Hollande declared on Saturday that France would respond with a “pitiless” war against the group responsible. Speaking from the Bataclan, the site of one of the attacks, he stated, “We are going to lead a war which will be pitiless.' ”    So which nation are the "surrender monkeys" now?

Obama’s stubborn, willful complacency on terror  . . . "What will it take for Obama to wake up to the danger? A successful Islamic State attack on the United States? Because that may be where we are headed. While Obama wages perhaps the most tepid military campaign in our nation’s history (75 percent of U.S. air sorties do not drop any bombs), the Islamic State has grown on his watch into the wealthiest, most powerful terrorist network in human history."

. . . Democrats Refused to Utter the "I" Word in Their Debate    "As the cleaning crews were mopping up the dried blood from the stage and the seats of the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, a depressing act appeared on stage in distant Iowa.

"Saturday night the three contenders for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination took to the stage in Iowa for a debate. The moderator asked them whether they would be willing to use the term “radical Islam” to describe the ideology motivating Islamic terrorists to massacre innocents. All refused.

"Like her former boss, US President Barack Obama, former secretary of state and Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton not only refused to accept the relevance of the term. Clinton refused to acknowledge what radical Islam stands for.

"She merely noted some of what it rejects." . . .

One aerial photo sums up Obama's idiotic ISIS strategy

Will you please explain this strategy, Mr. Commander-in Chief?  . . . "And therein lies the problem.  In its article relating John's demise, the U.K.'s Daily Mail includes a photograph that pretty much sums up the slapdash aspects of Obama's strategy of going after newsworthy targets rather than those that are truly significant in terms of reducing the jihadis' ability to wage war.  View for a moment this aerial photo from the Mail's article." . . .

"Note that the location of the drone strike on Jihadi John appears to be but a few city blocks from a large building marked "ISIS Main HQ."  Does the question not immediately arise in your mind why we would target a specific human enemy and yet leave perhaps hundreds of them alive and well to continue to conduct their war against us?" . . .

Vetting? You don't got to steenking vetting...for anyone

. . . "When we were vetted for entry into the Air Force, it took several months, a load of men assigned to us, and the provocation and annoyance of friends, relatives, and acquaintances for weeks.  The process was lengthy and in-depth – usurped male labor better used elsewhere – but it did the job.  And that is for people without any criminal record of any kind, anything even resembling a DUI or parking infraction.  Or even a tiny jaywalking offense.  Plus all the citizenship papers and background data and paperwork one could wish in the world.

"And these D.C. folks are talking about vetting men without documentation of any kind – no passport, no visa, no money, without a job history, a school record, or any corroboration other than the career liars (sorry, but fact is fact) among the "refugees" themselves and their maybe relatives, and the equally untrustworthy words of the hallowed U.N.?" . . .

Quit being part of the problem, Mr. President! . . . "How do we explain the president's meandering, halting, defensive words Monday at the press conference in Turkey?  Judging from what we heard, it should be clear to every American that he is not competent.  He does not see this horrific form of terrorism as more than a small problem, the Paris attack as a mere "setback."  He does not have any intention of making more than a feeble show of combatting the savages of ISIS.  He insists they are not Muslims despite "Islam" being part of parcel of their chosen name and their stated pride in the slaughter they commit in the name of Allah.  He still refuses to utter the phrase "Islamic extremism."  He displays obvious disregard for our men in uniform, who sign up to protect us from enemies like ISIS. " 

"President Obama also said today: "What I'm not interested in is pursuing some notion of 'American leadership' or 'American winning' that has no relationship to what is actually going to work."  Those words should terrify every American.  While many conservatives have seen this disdain for leadership in Obama from the outset, his antipathy for our country should now be clear to all." . . .

Why Even the Thinking Left Owns Paris  . . . "By helping to stifle speech on one front, Maher was empowering those like Affleck who were prepared to stifle it on another. The model was there for all to share. Call someone a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, or an Islamophobe, and you shut up all but the boldest. Those you can’t shut up -- a Pam Geller say or even a Donald Trump -- you dismiss as an extremist. With a war against the West raging, and real leaders silenced, institutions ranging from Yale and the University of Missouri to the White House and France’s Palais de l'Élysée are left in the hands of passive defenders and active collaborators.

"Maher has his moments of clarity. If he West is to prevail, he and his buddies on the left need a whole lot more."

You will never guess how the U.S. is 'vetting' Syrian refugees . . . "Normally, if someone wants to come into the United States, say, from France or Germany, our government can check with the French or German government to see if this person has a criminal record, or even is who he says he is.
"But when it comes to refugees from Syria, what is called "vetting" relies mostly on one source of information: the refugee."

Why won't radical Islam work with us to stop climate change?

Why can't the terrorists see that climate change is the most important security issue?  

"We shouldn't allow this isolated event in Paris to take our eye off the ball. After all we have our President, Secretary of State and top Democratic candidate focused like a laser beam on the most dangerous threat to our freedom; climate change. They are showing true leadership. Al Gore was doing a 24 hour webcast at the Eiffel Tower Friday the 13th on climate change. If only the terrorists had been listening maybe they could have understood how much we cared and the attack wouldn’t have happened.

"Thank goodness France is a gun free zone. That kept them safe." . . .
. . . "When I heard about the Paris attack, I thought for sure it was caused by a video no one had seen.

"Heaven help us!"

Blaming Eric Snowden for Paris

Friday’s attacks are reopening the debate on whether intelligence leaks and encryption have made it too easy for terrorists to hide online.  . . . "Still, there’s no denying the political context. The criticism of Snowden comes as intelligence officials seek to reopen a debate over the balance between security and privacy — a balance that seemed, before the deaths of 129 individuals in Paris, to have been settled firmly in favor of civil liberties. U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials have complained publicly that encryption tools — in iPhones, laptops and mobile software like Facebook-owned WhatsApp — allow terrorists, drug dealers and other criminals to “go dark” and avoid monitoring.
"In his memoirs earlier this year, Morell said Snowden's revelations had a near-immediate effect on intelligence gathering: Within weeks, “communications sources dried up, tactics were changed."

. . . "Obama's "first load of 10,000 Syrian refugees arrived in the U.S., where they will be resettled into 180 unsuspecting U.S. communities.

"Coincidentally one of the Paris suicide bombers had a Syrian passport and used the refugee crisis to enter Europe.

'There is no question that ISIS is using the refugee crisis and a feckless (or malicious) administration policy to smuggle terrorists into the country.

"Where are the Syrian refugees and/or the ISIS terrorists being relocated? The pathetic stooges at The New York Times were kind enough to publish a detailed map (click on the map to explodify)."

A closer look at the climate-change consensus

The Great Climate Lie

. . . "Professor Richard Tol of the University of Sussex published a rebuttal of Cook’s paper in the journal Energy Policy. According to Tol, the 97 percent claim, “frequently repeated in debates about climate policy, does not stand. . . . [Cook’s] sample is not representative and contains many irrelevant papers. Overall, data quality is low. Cook’s validation test shows that the data are invalid. Data disclosure is incomplete so the key results cannot be reproduced or tested.”

"So: The sample selected for study was flawed. The analysis of that sample was flawed. The conclusion drawn from that analysis was flawed. And the reporting of that conclusion was flawed. To quote Professor Mike Hulme of the University of East Anglia, as quoted by Popular Technology, “the ‘97 percent consensus’ article is poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed.”

"Normally, when faced with the “scientific consensus” on global warming, conservatives dig in and say that science is not a democracy — which, of course, is true. Before Copernicus and Galileo, roughly 97 percent of scientists believed the sun orbited the earth. But what conservatives ought to do is to stop accepting the Left’s nonsense premise: There is simply no evidence of a 97 percent consensus on global warming." . . .

By the way, did you remember there was a Democrat debate this weekend?

Three highlights (actually, lowlights) of the Democratic presidential debate  "During the Democratic presidential debate lots of dumb stuff was bandied about. Including:
Bernie Sanders’ wild assertion that (1) climate change is the greatest national security threat the United States faces, and (2) climate change and terrorism are inextricably linked. Per Sanders, “climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism.” Wow. I did not know that. Thanks Uncle Bernie! Quick question for ya’: Since you believe that climate change is a relatively new phenomenon, how do you explain 1400 years of Muslims trying to conquer the world?

"Meanwhile, all three candidates expressed unwavering commitment to bringing more “refugees” to the United States. Even in the face of this week’s terror attacks. Sanders said we have a “moral responsibility” to these “refugees.” (Heaven forbid we have a moral responsibility to ourselves.) " . . .

"The first 20 or so minutes of last night’s Democrat debate was devoted to national security with an emphasis on the terror attacks in Paris. It was a subject that made everyone on stage visibly uncomfortable.

"Jenna Lifhits of the Washington Free Beacon:


"Hillary Clinton refused to use the term “radical Islam” to describe groups like the Islamic State Saturday at the Democratic debate, despite having used the term “radical Islamic jihadist groups” four days prior.


"When moderator John Dickerson asked Clinton whether she agreed with Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R., Fla.) statement that the Paris attacks show “that we are at war with Radical Islam,” Clinton said she would use a term other than “Radical Islam.' ” . . .
“I don’t think we’re at war with Islam,” she said Saturday. “I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims. I think we’re at war with jihadists.”
