Petulant juvenile: Obama’s tantrum a striking display of failed leadership

"It is understandable that Americans do not want to hear in such an outrageous act of war that is the Orlando massacre that they are the enemy. Leading an entire nation, rather than a political party, is much more difficult than the more ideological task of a campaign. Ben Voth

Michael Goodwin

"If it is true that the best defense is a good offense, President Obama should be celebrating in the end zone now. Obviously furious over criticism that his anti-terror policies are weak and that the Orlando slaughter proves it, he went on a televised tirade to let America know he’s mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

"He laid waste to a field of straw men, cable-TV pundits and the always-evil “partisan rhetoric,” by which he means anyone who disagrees with him. It was a striking display of personal anger and pent-up grievances — and a total failure of leadership during a national crisis." . . .

On Islamic Terror, Words Do Matter . . . "It is understandable that Americans do not want to hear in such an outrageous act of war that is the Orlando massacre that they are the enemy. Leading an entire nation, rather than a political party, is much more difficult than the more ideological task of a campaign. In a world of 24-hour campaigning, even once elected, that patriotic duty may be easy to forget." . . .

Florida governor (a Republican): Obama 'has not called' after Orlando terrorist attack . . . "It's typically commonplace for the president to call the governor of a state after such catastrophic events.
"Scott said that he received a call from former President George W. Bush, who said that he and former first lady Laura Bush "were praying for us."

"Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, also phoned him, Scott said." . . .

Trump: 'He was more angry at me than he was at the shooter!'

Controversial Ariz. Pastor Sparks Anger by Saying 'Gays Should Be Executed'

Christian Post

"My children are homeschooled, I don't want them to be brainwashed by the government into thinking that there is no God and that it's normal for a man to have sex with another man. That's the kind of filth that they're gonna learn in the public school," he said. "I'd rather let them grow up in the freedom of being a Bible believing Christian. That's where the real freedom is."

"

Lord help us! All we who carry the name of Jesus Christ and have claimed His blood, shed to redeem us from human iniquity have to be sickened by the words of this so-called "pastor". He tries to place his own personal animosity on a par with Scripture, calling for the murder of gays, forgetting that the words of the New Testament also condemn anger, gossip, adultery and many other sins that are in our hearts. Shall we also murder any slanderer we encounter?

The left says not to condemn a religion because of the actions of a few, but you can be sure all followers of Christ will be blackened because of this man's words.

All who name the name of Christ as Savior must be vocal in condemning this man's words as I certainly do.

Jesus said all who come to Him he will in no wise cast out, but will cleanse their hearts including Muslims who turn to Christ, Pastors such as this and even the equal darkness in my own heart. The Tunnel Dweller

On the Orlando murderer and the PC that enabled him

Orlando shooter Omar Mateen was gay, former classmate says....Palm Beach Post . . . "He said Mateen asked him out romantically." . . . “ 'We went to a few gay bars with him, and I was not out at the time, so I declined his offer,” the former classmate said. He asked that his name not be used.". . .

Daniel Gilroy, the co-worker who warned of Omar Mateen’s deranged hatred, earlier was a victim of political correctness "Political correctness is a theme woven through the backstory of the Orlando nightclub jihad killer. Law enforcement and his employer were unable to cull out Omar Mateen from his job as a security guard and access to serious weapons, enabling his short but bloody career as a self-radicalized jihadi.

"Heartbreakingly, there was a man who tried to warn of this smoldering human inferno. The Los Angeles Times explains:

Daniel Gilroy, 44, worked with Mateen for about a year as a security guard at PGA Village South in Port St. Lucie, Fla.

"I complained multiple times that he was dangerous, that he didn't like blacks, women, lesbians and Jews," Gilroy told The Times on Sunday.

Mateen threatened violence in front of him, Gilroy said. Once when Mateen saw an African American man driving past, he said he wished he could kill all black people, using a racial slur, Gilroy recalled.

"You meet bigots," Gilroy said, "But he was above and beyond. He was always angry, sweating, just angry at the world."

"Gilroy’s warning went unheeded:" . . .

. . . "Why? According to Gilroy, it failed to act because Mateen is Muslim". . . . "It wouldn’t be surprising if some employers fail to discipline Muslims who would be punished but for their religion, due to a combination of political correctness and fear of being sued. Nor would it be surprising if law enforcement agencies are reluctant to follow leads, or follow through on them, for similar reasons." . . .

Orlando Attack Is a Failure of Obama’s ‘Politically Correct’ Policy, Analysts Say . . . "Former FBI Agent John Guandolo said the FBI mistakenly closed its investigation because it had no idea how to respond to jihadist threats because the bureau does not teach agents about Islamist doctrine, such as Sharia law, that is used as a guide for terrorist operations and activities.

“ 'This investigation was closed because FBI leadership has systematically refused to look at and teach Sharia to its agents because it is getting its advice on Islam from Muslims who are hostile to us and our system of government,” Guandolo said." . . .

Obama's Heart "Obama referred to the massacre as “an act of terror and an act of hate.” In the course of perpetrating the massacre, Omar Mateen reportedly made a 911 call pledging allegiance to the Islamic State. Obama nevertheless plugged gun control and omitted any mention of Islam or the Islamic State."

Obama, Clinton Say 'Disarm' While Failing to Protect . . . "The administration has a security model that is not working. The FBI is looking for ordinary criminals and "hatemongers." Armed with these descriptions, they keep letting the usual suspects go because they don't fit the bill. Yet time and again they come back as a surprise.

"Maybe the greatest trick Islamic terrorism ever pulled was convincing Obama it didn't exist."

After Orlando, the Spin begins "The horrific attack at an Orlando gay bar by a Muslim who had sworn allegiance to Isis is probably going to be spun as a hate crime. The killer's father has already told the media that his son was disgusted by the sight of a man kissing another man. See! It's homophobia: an assault on the civil rights of the LGBTQ community. Now let's wait for the video to appear that will explain what drove Omar Mateen to slaughter 50 people and wound 53 others. The fact that it is Ramadan and that Omar was well trained and shouted Allahu Akbar while shooting the innocents will be dismissed as well as the fact that he was a registered Democrat. The blame will instead be put on Donald Trump's hateful rhetoric and the NRA gun crowd.

"On ABC, liberal iconic journalist, Tom Brokaw just had to blame the slaughter on the popularity of guns in America." . . .

#Islam doesn't foment the violence alleged gunman Omar Mateen enacted, toxic masculinity & a global culture of imperialist homophobia does

PP Black Community

. . . "On its webpage, the center declares: “Members of Husseini Islamic Center (HIC), stand united with our fellow Americans in categorically condemning this attack. We share the grief and sorrow of the nation and stand united with the Central Florida community and City of Orlando. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the families and loved ones who are victims of this tragedy.”

"Just months earlier, however, this same mosque featured keynote speaker Sheikh Farrokh Sekaleshfar who called for the killing of homosexuals as “the compassionate thing to do”. Referring to homosexuals in a 2013 speech, Sekaleshfar said: “Death is the sentence…Let’s get rid of them.” Somehow, now, this center is seen as the voice of reason among the Orlando Muslim community?

"Never one for reason in this War on Terrorism, Obama has passionately maintained his denial of Islamic terrorism throughout his presidency. He prefers the phrase “violent extremists”. He has promoted the radical LGBT agenda (fining and threatening the very livelihood of those who believe marriage is between a man and a woman) like no other president in history. What, exactly, explains the fervor in which he so desperately avoids the truth and so quickly accuses Americans of being homophobic and Islamophobic?" . . . (Hat tip to M Fumie Craig)

So, what are ‘moderate’ Muslims saying in Arabic about the Orlando massacre which the media will never show you?

BareNakedIslam "Thanks to the good work of Twitter user @ahmedaa1k, you are able to see what was being said in Arabic by many Muslims in response to the Orlando shooting. Please keep in mind, Ahmed is the individual translating these tweets, not the individual making these abhorrent comments."

Godless Spellchecker's Blog

Thanks to the good work of twitter user @ahmedaa1k, I was able to show you what was being said in Arabic by some people about atheists a while back. The same twitter user has also translated some of the Arabic language responses to the Orlando shooting. It’s not good news either.

Two of many here:

Al Sharpton Says People Criticizing Islam After Orlando Are “Accomplices To Terrorism”…

Weasel Zippers

"Yes, he really said that.

"Via HuffPo:

"The nation is mourning once again; senseless violence has again taken innocent lives, ripped families apart and left us with many unanswered questions. As we grieve and try to comprehend the incomprehensible, it is important that we remain united and not fall into the trap of division and hatred. Homophobia and Islamophobia are twin partners to terrorism. As information is slowly being revealed in Orlando, what we are witnessing is a blatant act of homophobia and evil in its worst form. But what is also transpiring in the aftermath of this tragedy is a knee-jerk reaction to blame Islam and Muslims." . . .

Oh, by the way: Breaking: Islamist Kills Police Officer, Takes Officer’s Family Hostage Near Paris

"The officers reportedly discovered the body of a woman in the house and rescued a 3-year old boy.

"The assailant, reportedly a neighbor, stabbed the police officer nine times in front of the house before taking his wife and son hostage, Le Parisian reported. The outlet said the victim was a deputy chief of the judicial police at the Les Mureaux police station.

"Neighbors calling police claimed they heard the man chanting Islamist slogans, Reuters France reported." . . .

Those blasted French conservatives and knife rights advocates are to blame for this.

Oh, by the way, Rev. Al. What do you say to this?

Three American fugitives wanted for murder are guaranteed safety by Cuba - despite U.S. demanding they be brought back to serve justice

More international disrespect toward the United States because of Obama who is not a good judge of character. TD

UK Daily Mail "Two American fugitives who fled to Cuba after they were accused of killing police officers said that Cuban officials have assured them that detente with the United States will not lead to their extradition.

"The United States and Cuba held a second round of law-enforcement talks last month dedicated partly to resolving the fate of scores of fugitives after more than a half century with almost no cooperation.

"The talks are part of a series of U.S.-Cuba negotiations aimed at normalizing relations after the two countries declared an official end to Cold War hostilities on Dec. 17, 2014." . . .

"Charles Hill (left), a black militant wanted in the 1971 slaying of a New Mexico state policeman, told The Associated Press that Cuban government contacts had recently reassured him he was at no risk of extradition.

Assata Shakur’s is a notorious fugitive convicted of the murder of a New Jersey state trooper

"Nehanda Abiodun (right), another black militant wanted in a 1981 armored car robbery that left two police offers and a security guard dead, told the AP she had recently received a similar promise.

"Cuba is home to dozens of people wanted in the United States on charges ranging from Medicare fraud to killings committed in the name of black and Puerto Rican revolution movements in the 1970s and '80s.

Perhaps Obama will pardon them as he leaves office. Prepare to be angry and stressed out over what this man will do in the time remaining in office.

Clinton Emails on Film

breitbart

Indiegogo "THE SITUATION

"Hillary Clinton's staff are currently giving depositions under oath about how she got away with having her illegal private email server when conducting matters of national security.

"The depositions are being filmed, but Hillary's lawyers have managed to persuade the judge to block the release of the tapes in case they are used to make her look bad in the election!" . . .

"The deposition transcripts have been released and we are re-enacting and filming highlights of the depositions.

"Today we're releasing a film of Cheryl Mills' deposition highlights, using the transcript--her actual words. Cheryl Mills has worked for the Clintons for almost 30 years. She was Hillary's Chief of Staff at the State Department.

"Cheryl Mills' evidence is amazing, full of classic Clintonian evasions. She used the phrase "I don't remember" or "I don't recall" 189 times. This deserves to be brought to a wider audience--not censored and hidden away. And we now have it on film. (You can share the film with your friends by sending them to ClintonEmailsOnFilm.com.)

Commentary on the massacre at the gun-free nightclub

BareNakedIslam

American Thinker:
--Orlando: Why it Means War ..."If it takes the foul murder of 50 gays in a bar in Orlando, Florida, to finally get our ruling class serious about its fundamental task [of protecting our citizens], then so be it.

"But I would ask our gay friends, after grieving for their dead compadres, to lay off on the Christian bakers and pizza parlors for a while. If we are to fight Islamic terrorists it does no good to be punishing your domestic enemies for WrongThink."
--Why Omar Mateen’s obvious danger signs were missed and he was allowed to purchase weapons . . . "Keep in mind the systematic purge from counter-terrorism training of any references to Islam." . . .
--ACLU attorneys blame 'Christian right' for Orlando shooting "Why blame Islam when Christians throw gays off the top of buildings, burn them alive, throw them in jail...oh, wait. "
--Islamist or Progressive? It's getting hard to tell the Difference . . . "Similarly, uber-liberal Sally Kohn tweeted, “Every religion has sub-groups of intolerant extremism. You can’t tell me the problem is religion. The problem is intolerant extremism.”

"Indeed. As an anti-American leftist, Ms. Kohn marinates in a cult of intolerant extremism in its unhinged rejection of all forms of disagreement." . . .
--Message from Orlando: Trump is right on Muslim immigration . . . Obama and Hillary still think they can shame the public into silence by accusations of Islamophobia and racism. Trump knows how to handle them."

Other sources:
Hillary’s Bizarre Flip Flop on Orlando "Hillary just flip flopped on radical Islam.

"After the Orlando terror attack, Hillary refused to use the words “radical Islam” and she blamed guns for the assault in her weak-kneed response.

"She was echoing Barack Obama’s remarks in her first written statement by refusing to mention Islam but condemning… guns. She bemoaned “other violent criminals.' ”. . . Clinton and Trump clash over this.

Inside the tiny Florida mosque now connected to two terrorists - but whose imam insists is no place for extremism

Mr. Obama: Is The ORLANDO MASSACRE What You Consider ‘ISIS(al Qaeda) On The Run?’ . . . "Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks." . . .

The consequences of the wrong discussion "San Bernadino and Orlando were successful because the government let suspicious people buy firearms because they wanted to be seen like they’re not biased against a terrorist ideology. Meanwhile, they want to further restrict the ability of legal, law-abiding gun owners to arm themselves."

National Review:
Obama Would Rather Declare War on the English Language than Speak of Islamic Terrorism . . . "There is good reason not to keep up a constant drumbeat emphasizing radical Islam’s ties to terrorism: We need the help of the world’s Muslim populations, and the last thing we want to do is drive them away by implying that they’re all our enemies. But the Obama’s administration’s PC attitudes come across as a sign of weakness to both friend and foe alike." . . .

It’s Time for a Long-Term Strategy to Utterly Crush Islamic Terrorism . . . "But the power of the Islamic State is not just in its materiel. Its success in evangelizing its murderous ideology is a problem the United States national-security apparatus has failed to address." . . .
"It will require discrediting the ideology that has appealed to so many in the West and the Middle East. And it will require demonstrating that we will deal swiftly and pitilessly with those who engage in, or support, terrorism." . . .

No, We Are Not ‘Doing Everything We Can’ . . . "We should forthrightly acknowledge that the plain conclusion to be drawn from the European experience is that if a Western country does not already have a large, poorly assimilated Muslim minority population, it would do well not to acquire one. To pretend that Islam is, at this moment in history, just another faith to be absorbed into the general American ethic, as though Muslim distinctiveness were no different from Amish distinctiveness, is culpably sentimental." . . .

PJ Media:
Why Obama Still Refuses to Name Radical Islam

. . . "No, Obama's refusal to name radical Islam stems from two closely entwined factors—an enduring distaste for American power and deep personal shame (not that buried, but buried enough) of his own profound childhood connection to Islam. Not to get too psychoanalytic, to Obama, if there is something wrong with Islam, there is something wrong with him. Better to think there is something wrong with us." . . .

The Orlando shooter didn't complain about Gitmo before shooting people

rushlimbaugh.com

Silvio Canto, Jr "We are learning a lot about the Orlando shooting. We will probably know a lot more by the time this post is published. We hear that he pledged allegiance to ISIS and may have shouted a few words in support of his fellow terrorists.

"To my knowledge, he didn't say a word about Gitmo.

"Over the last few years, we've heard a lot about how Gitmo recruits. We heard it from President Obama over and over again.

"However, Gitmo did not inspire the shootings in Paris or San Bernardino or now in Orlando.

"What evidence do we have that Gitmo is a recruiting tool?

"We don't have any, except a president who does not have the courage to admit he was wrong about Guantanamo in 2008.

"In fact, Politifact looked at the controversy and concluded this:

Analyses of jihadist propaganda materials show that Guantanamo is rarely mentioned, especially compared to other grievances against the United States, like military airstrikes. Al-Qaida uses Guantanamo less frequently now than it used to, though it was never a primary focus of their propaganda." . . .

Obama and Islamic terrorism

*Says Hillary Clinton's Russian Counterpart, to whom

she presented the magic "Reset" button, if you recall.

Newsmax "President Barack Obama on Sunday said Americans would stand united and "not give in to fear or turn against each other" in the wake of a nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, that killed 50 people.

"Following is the full text of remarks, Obama delivered at the White House:

"Today, as Americans, we grieve the brutal murder - a horrific massacre - of dozens of innocent people. We pray for their families, who are grasping for answers with broken hearts. We stand with the people of Orlando, who have endured a terrible attack on their city. Although it's still early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate. And as Americans, we are united in grief, in outrage, and in resolve to defend our people." . . .

*Obama: 'No Definitive Judgment on the Precise Motivations' of Orlando Terrorist

. . . " 'We are still learning all the facts. . . . "Over the coming days, we’ll uncover why and how this happened, and we will go wherever the facts lead us.' " . . .

John Podhoretz: Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre . . . "So determined is the president to avoid the subject of Islamist, ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed terrorism that he concluded his remarks with an astonishing insistence that “we need the strength and courage to change” our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

"That’s just disgusting. There’s no other word for it." . . .

. . . "It’s the change required by the 22nd Amendment — the change that will compel Barack Obama to leave the White House on January 20, 2017 after completing his second term with America less safe than it was when he took office."

Trump to Change Speech from Clintons to Terrorism, Calls on Obama to Resign . . . "Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen – and it is only going to get worse. I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore.' "

Obama blames 'hate’ not Islam or Jihad for Orlando nightclub massacre There was no mention whatsoever of Islam, radical Islam, or jihad. It was purely an “act of hate” of no particular character. His statement on motivations contained lawyerly qualifications enabling him to obscure the fact that the killer shouted “Allahu Akbar !” (“Allah is supreme!”) as he murdered. Watch at about a minute into his statement as he said,

“We have reached no definitive judgments on the precise motivations of the killer. “

Mr Obama made further reference to hate crimes, describing the gay bars as not just a night club, but an "area of solidarity and promotion of civil rights." . . .
. . . "The President also made his standard pitch regarding the easy availability of 'assault weapons." It's important to note, the shooter, had a firearms license as he worked for a security company...which means he had to undergo an extensive background check." . . .
