Obama Vetoes Bill Allowing 9/11 Families To Sue Saudi Arabia

NY Times   Obama Vetoes 9/11 Bill, but Congressional Override Is Expected

Obama vetoes bill paving way for 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia, setting up a possible override

. . . "That step is not assured, though. The administration has begun courting lawmakers, particularly fellow Democrats, who may agree with the spirit of the legislation but could be swayed to Obama’s side by arguments about the potential geopolitical ramifications of the bill. 

"The legislation would revive a lawsuit brought by families of Sept. 11 victims against the Saudi government by clarifying a 1976 law governing the principle of sovereign immunity. The measure specifies that foreign governments could be held liable in American courts for terrorist attacks in the U.S. 

"The White House has warned that the legislation could prompt legal and economic retaliation from foreign governments. It has raised the specter of the U.S. government being sued in courts all over the world, and pointed to Saudi Arabia’s threat to sell off hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. debt and other assets, though the effectiveness of that has been called into question." . . .

Besides, the Saudis stand with America in upholding women's rights

Ahmad Khan Rahami, Barack Obama & the Continued Idiocy Infecting America

"This is the “new normal,” because we ridiculed and ridicule people who think like me. And because we have idiotic hags like the “women” of “The View” and Barack Obama looked upon as actually saying something of worth and authority."

Debbie Schlussel

"I watched with boredom and anger muted by resignation, today, as Barack Obama babbled more nonsense and BS denials about the Islamic terrorist attacks in New York City, New Jersey, and St. Cloud, Minnesota over the weekend. The incompetent President stated absolutely that there “is no link” between the Minnesota attack and those in the tri-state area. Uh, YES. THERE. IS. Both terrorists, Ahmad Khan Rahami and Dahir A. Adan, have one very strong thing in common. ISLAM. They are both Muslims.

"But America continues to be in denial. American media outlets. American politicians. American “authority” figures. American institutions. All continue to cling to the political correctness that will be–and, actually, already is–the death of this country. And the death of us all.

"Islam is the only thing at play here–the only reason both of these men tried to murder Americans–with Adan stabbing people at the Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud and Rahami setting up explosives in Jersey and New York. It should be noted, by the way, that Rahami’s explosives were laced with shrapnel a la HAMAS, designed to do the most bodily harm possible. So, it’s a miracle nobody died." . . .

Crap & Trade: Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown helps save planet by regulating cow flatulence & manure

"Read more about Brown’s plan to fight climate change at Moo-veOn.org."

Doug Powers  "Many more California dairy farmers will be blaming the dog for their cows’ farts thanks to progs in state government hell-bent to make everything more expensive in the name of fighting “climate change”:

Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Monday that regulates for the first time greenhouse-gas emissions tied to dairy cows and landfills, an escalation of California’s efforts to fight climate change beyond carbon-based gases to include methane and other pollutants.

The move by the Democratic governor targets a category of gases known as short-lived climate pollutants, which have an outsize effect on global warming despite their relatively short life in the atmosphere. Environmentalists hope that tackling short-lived pollutants now would buy time to develop new and more affordable technology to reduce carbon emissions.

The legislation will require steep reductions in a variety of pollutants, including methane; HFC gases used in aerosols and air conditioning refrigerants; and soot, known as black carbon. It’s tied to $90 million in funding for the dairy industry and garbage collectors.

“This bill curbs these dangerous pollutants and thereby protects public health and slows climate change,” Brown said in a statement.

"Dairy farmers can expect more state bureaucrats show up at their farms to do some sniffing around:"

Black Dallas police officer sues Black Lives Matter on behalf of ‘Christians, Jews and Caucasians,’ others

MSN

"About two months ago, Dallas Police Sgt. and president of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation Demetrick Pennie garnered praise for helping to heal relations between police and the black community.

"He was reacting, in part, to a post by an NFL star.

"Following the slaying of five Dallas police officers that occurred after a particularly bloody week — police in other cities had killed two black men, Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minn. — Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell posted a disturbing illustration to Instagram.

"In graphic detail, it depicted a uniformed white police officer, arms twisted behind his back. A man dressed in black, wearing a necklace with an ankh and a pair of American flag suspenders, stood behind the officer with one hand clamped on his mouth. The other hand holds a knife, which has just slit through the officer’s throat. Blood is shown gushing out from an open wound.

"Its caption: “Mood: They give polices all types of weapons and they continuously choose to kill us.' ”. . .

Amid the backlash, Sgt. Pennie, who is black, invited Crowell to attend the funeral of Patrick Zamarripa, one of the five slain Dallas police officers, and to spend the day with him and other police officers in an attempt to find similarities, not differences.
Ultimately, the interaction seemed positive.
(The disturbing image can be found here.)
Crowell quickly removed the post, but not before the gears of the outrage machine began cranking. He apologized.

Crowell accepted the invitation (though, it should be noted, Cleveland’s police union made threats to pull police from providing security at Browns games if he didn’t go).

Why are out-of-state Charlotte rioters not being prosecuted for crossing state lines to engage in destruction and rioting?

"Noting the Soros funding of BLM, we also have Hillary Clinton as a (BLM) Black Lives Matter proponent, Barack Obama with BLM sympathies and invitations to the White House. On the other side of the ledger, we have Obama’s Department of Justice seemingly unconcerned that laws prohibiting the crossing of State lines to incite riots are being violated. Coincidental?"

James Longstreet   "The non-enforcement of the law has become sport in the past eight years.  Hidden under gimmicks such as “prosecutorial discretion” and other feigns, the Department of Justice and other such entities have seemed to turn their backs when full frontal execution of the law was required.  A curious disinterest for certain laws is in play.

"We receive a constant dose of stories revealing the non-enforcement of immigration law.

"In lockstep is the complete disregard for the laws on the books that are designed to quell situations such as Ferguson, Dallas, Baltimore, and now Charlotte.

"Two years ago, I authored an article for American Thinker titled, “The Anti Riot Act. One more law unenforced by this administration.”

"In a recent article in ZeroHedge, an official of the Charlotte Police Department notes that “70% of those arrested” have out of state identification.  This should pique the interest of federal authorities.  It doesn’t." . . .

Obama DOJ To Charlotte Mob Attacking White People: “We Hear Your Voices And We Feel Your Pain”…

Todd Starnes  "City leaders in Charlotte North Carolina say there is no need for a curfew.

"They believe they now have a handle on the rampaging mob that has basically laid siege to the city. They believe the pillaging and plundering and the horrific acts of violence have ended.

"Hopeful, but doubtful.

''We are just now beginning to get a look at some of the unspeakable atrocities committed by the hordes of brutes. 

"A video now gone viral purportedly shows a white man being brutalized by a group of mostly black men.

" 'WHITE MAN DRAGGED, BEATEN, BEGGING FOR MERCY," read the banner headline on Drudge Report.

"Fox46 in Charlotte and Fox News also wrote stories about the stomach-churning incident. 

"The video shows the frightened man trapped by the mob. He dropped to his knees, held his hands in the air. He was pleading for his life, pleading for mercy.

"But there would be no mercy." Just as there would be none here.

"There are no words to describe the unimaginable horror that man must have experienced inside that Charlotte garage. 

Who speaks for that man? . . . President Obama?Attorney General Lynch?Al Sharpton? Who speaks for that man, America?

Best line of the day

"President Obama cited the Obama Doctrine as his legacy at the U.N. Tuesday. It says if a man wears a dress and calls himself a woman, we have to believe him and let him use the ladies room. But if he bombs New York in the name of Allah and ISIS takes credit for it, we mustn't jump to conclusions." Comedian Argus Hamilton

We Really Should Give The Dems Credit

We Really Should Give The Dems Credit

Victor Davis Hanson writes:  . . . "Instead, the American government appears more concerned with shutting down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, ensuring that no administration official utters the words "Islamic terror," and issuing warnings to Americans not to lash out due to their supposedly innate prejudices.
"Aggressors are also encouraged by vast cutbacks in the U.S. defense budget. The lame­duck Obama presidency, lead­from­behind policies and a culturally and racially divided America reflect voter weariness with overseas commitments. " . . .

The coming debates

Debating Hillary   . . . "When confronted with leading or hostile questions, Trump needs to confront media spinners as he has done in the past. If he has done nothing else in this campaign, Trump has exposed American journalists as partisan shills. Trashing pundits is a no-lose hedge. The press is about as popular as herpes.

. . . 

"Mrs. Clinton avoids press conferences for good reasons. She doesn’t like questions, accountability, or candor -- and she gets rattled or hostile on defense.

"Topics likely to keep Clinton in a defensive crouch include: her tolerance of husband Bill’s abuse of women from the statehouse to the White House; the Obamacare fiasco; Veterans’ care incompetence; serial foreign policy failures; the Benghazi betrayal and cover up; the private server and email controversy; subsequent FBI corruption; DNC primary fixing; and Clinton Foundation fraud just to name a few areas where the media will try to give Hillary a pass." . . .

Hillary’s Team Is ‘Powering Through’…

All the below still awaits Obama's calming words and encouragement for the police

Charlotte Had Racial Harmony. Then BLM and Nation of Islam Thugs Came

. . . "What many people don’t realize is that these protests didn’t just spring up in response to the shooting of Scott by a black police officer. Last year, the trial of a white police officer ended in a mistrial for shooting an unarmed black man, and he was never retried. The investigation was complicated, but a video showed the young man clearly running toward police officers when they told him to stand down. The police officer shot him in self-defense.

"After the trial, a few protestors took to the streets, angry about the outcome. Black Lives Matter was part of that, but the protests fizzled. That’s because Charlotte, for the most part, has been a peaceful community with blacks and whites working side by side for the good of our families and our neighbors." . . .

Anti-Cop Rioters Are the Vanguard of the ‘No Lives Matter’ Movement   "The rule of law is breaking down as riots erupt before the facts come in. 
"The anti-cop movement is completely out of control. It’s moved from attacking the police, to attacking the rule of law itself, and now it is attacking the fundamental human right of self-defense. Twice in a month, rioters have struck back after black cops reportedly shot and killed black men who were threatening the cops with guns." . . .

Will the Riots in Charlotte Help Elect Donald Trump?  . . . " Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton have inflamed racial tensions for political gain repeatedly over the past eight years. Speaking about the riots in Charlotte, Lynch said,“They have once again highlighted — in the most vivid and painful terms — the real divisions that still persist in this nation between law enforcement and communities of color.” 
"And why do they persist, Attorney General Lynch? In part because you have continued to inflame them, rather than tell African Americans the hard truths they need to hear."
