Welcome to Jihadi land! Iran opens theme park where children get to dress up as soldiers and pretend to attack Israel and other Western enemies

UK Daily Mail  "A new theme park has been opened by the Iranian government, where young children learn to be revolutionaries and fight against the country's enemies.

"Youngsters as young as eight are able to don military uniforms and fight 'battles' against the US and Israel at the new attraction in the city of Mashad. 

"The park is named The City of Games for Revolutionary Children." . . .

"Some of the stages which the children pass through at the theme park: 

• Stage one - Youngsters are taught about the Mahdi, the Shi'ite messiah
• Stage two - They are taken to the station of the Rule of the Jurisprudent
• Stage three - The children are taught about the Islamic Revolution and how the Shah's dictatorship was vanquished
• Stage four - They enter the first station of the Holy Defence, where they simulate fighting the enemy and learn about combat methods, including firing plastic bullets. They shoot at effigies of the Israeli Prime Minister and the US flag.
• Stage five - The children go to the station of defence of the Shrine of Zaynab and learn about the fighting in Syria against ISIS
• Stage six - Children have a contest throwing balls at effigies of ISIS and the Saudi royal family
• Stage seven - They watch a video about the defence of the Shrine of Zaynab
• Stage eight - The children receive a souvenir gift
• Stage nine - Children are blindfolded and asked to stage thow a ball at an Israeli flag in the form of a puzzle and knock it down, and then assemble a puzzle of an Israeli flag

Sheriff Clarke: You Kill A Cop, You Should Receive Death Penalty!

Wayne Dupree.com  "Sheriff David Clarke gave a stern opinion to those who have decided killing cops is ok. Clarke thinks you kill a cop; you should face the death penalty. Now liberals will be pissed off at that sort of thinking because most are against killing someone who has decided to kill others.

"Clarke’s position is very tough and will open up dialogue."

Senate Dems, powerless to stop Trump nominees, regret 'nuclear option' power play

CNN

. . . "But there is little they can do about it -- and some top Democrats are now coming to regret it.

"That's because Senate Democrats muscled through an unprecedented rules change in 2013 to weaken the power of the minority party to filibuster Cabinet-level appointees and most judicial nominees, now setting the threshold at 51 votes -- rather than 60 -- to overcome tactics aimed at derailing nominations.

"With the Senate GOP poised to hold 52 seats next Congress, some Democrats now say they should have thought twice before making the rules change -- known on Capitol Hill as the "nuclear option."

" 'I do regret that," said Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, a Democrat who voted for the rules change three years ago." . . .

Kathy Griffin Heckles Megyn Kelly's Speech at THR Event

Hollywood Reporter  . . . "There's room for the loyal opposition in this country," Kelly continued as the room quieted. "As women, we must reject the urge to fight with pigs — which gets us dirty and the pigs enjoy. But if a fight is unavoidable, then fight ... with composure, and grace. And we let our children see us do it — standing tall and sometimes playing hurt."

“Air Raid On Pearl Harbor, This Is No Drill”: The Men Of That Day…

Weasel Zippers

"Via Fox News:

Only five of the 335 men who survived the unprovoked attack that sunk the USS Arizona on Dec. 7, 1941 remain alive. Donald Stratton, 94, is one of them. He has added to the historical knowledge of that day and the beginning of America’s entry into World War II in a new book, “All the Gallant Men: The First Memoir By a USS Arizona Survivor.”

Typical of so many men of that era, the book (written with Ken Gire) is less about Stratton, a 19-year-old kid from a tiny Nebraska town ravaged by the Great Depression, and more about the men with whom he served.

According to the book, total casualties at Pearl Harbor on that fateful day amounted to 2,403 dead and 1,176 wounded. Many of Stratton’s shipmates lie interred in the bowels of the Arizona, which still secretes oil, a constant reminder to “never forget.”

People too young to have known men of that era, or who never asked grandparents about their World War II experience, will find in Stratton’s book a quality that has declined in modern times — modesty. “We were not extraordinary men,” he writes. “Truth be told, most of us had enlisted because there were precious few jobs to be found where we lived.”

The isolationist spirit was strong in 1941. Here’s Stratton on the patriotism that overwhelmed isolationism after the attack: “Love for country welled up inside seemingly every American, coming out in the songs we sang, in the movies produced, in the newspaper articles that were written. … We were ordinary men. What was extraordinary was the country we loved.

HOW THE ESTABLISHMENT WILL TRY TO DESTROY TRUMP

Luckily for the country, Trump doesn't seem obsessed with what the elites think of him. But his advisers include just the type of Republicans whose second-tier law schools make them particularly susceptible to the cheap respectability of establishment media approval.  

Ann Coulter  "Shortly before Thanksgiving, New York Times columnist Frank Bruni wrote a column that should chill you to the bone. 

"Titled "Donald Trump's Demand for Love," Bruni said: "I had just shaken the president-elect's normal-size hand and he was moving on to the next person when he wheeled around, took a half step back, touched my arm and looked me in the eye anew. 'I'm going to get you to write some good stuff about me,' Donald Trump said.” 

Bruni is a fabulous writer, but if he ever writes good stuff about you, Mr. President-elect, YOU WILL HAVE FAILED. 

"I assume this was just our president-elect doing something he gets the least credit for, which is being nice. But you can never be too careful. 

"The Times is in total opposition to Trump's stated goal to make America great again. Trump has got to know -- not next year, but by 5 p.m. today -- that anyone pursuing his agenda will incite rage, insanity and spitting blood from that newspaper. 

"There's a long and tragic history of Republicans who won the war but lost the peace by trading results for respectability. 

"The first President Bush not only promised not to raise taxes, but also laid out the steps Democrats would take to get him to break that promise. "And the Congress will push me to raise taxes," he said in his iconic 1988 convention speech, "and I'll say no, and they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say to them, 'Read my lips: No new taxes.’" 

"He was a good prognosticator! Congress did exactly as he'd anticipated. But instead of saying "no," Bush caved. " . . .

Trump is down to his last wish from Aladdin. He can impress The New York Times, or he can make America great again. But he can't do both.

Pearl Harbor, 75 years ago

74 Years Ago  From 2015: "The JapanToday.com website has a nice story about the ceremony in Pearl Harbor today that united former enemies:

Former U.S. airman Jack DeTour, 92, and Japanese fighter pilot Shiro Wakita, 88, sworn enemies during World War Two, together poured whiskey from a battered canteen into Pearl Harbor on Sunday to commemorate the 1941 attack on the U.S. naval base.

A faithless elector

American Thinker  "Christopher Suprun, an elector from Texas, writes in an op-ed published in  the  New York Times on December 6, saying he will not cast his vote for Donald J. Trump.  Mr. Suprun urges his Electoral College colleagues to "unity behind a Republican alternative."

"Mr. Suprun – it is not clear how he got to be an elector – cites Federalist No. 68 for guidance.  He does not, however, refer to the following passage from No. 68:

It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief. The choice of SEVERAL, to form an intermediate body of electors, will be much less apt to convulse the community with any extraordinary or violent movements, than the choice of ONE who was himself to be the final object of the public wishes. And as the electors, chosen in each State, are to assemble and vote in the State in which they are chosen, this detached and divided situation will expose them much less to heats and ferments, which might be communicated from them to the people, than if they were all to be convened at one time, in one place.

. . .
 Suprun signed a pledge this summer to support the Republican nominee. He lied.

. . . "Texas law doesn’t mandate that electors vote according to the results of the state’s presidential election, which Trump won by nine percentage points over Hillary Clinton. Suprun and the GOP’s other electors signed pledges at the state Republican convention in Dallas this summer promising to vote for their party’s nominee, but those aren’t legally binding.

“ 'I’m expecting backlash, but that has been par for the course this campaign. People are unhappy. They’re angry. But I’m angry, too,” said Suprun, who said that prior to changing his mind he had received hundreds of emails, letters and phone calls urging him not to support Trump."

Recounts barely making dent in election results; Trump gains in Wisconsin

Fox News

. . . "Statewide recounts in key 2016 battlegrounds are proceeding in fits and starts -- but doing little to change the math behind Donald Trump's victory. 

"In Wisconsin, one of three states where Green Party candidate Jill Stein has sought a fresh tabulation, the president-elect has even gained on Hillary Clinton" . . .

Napolitano: Recount is bizarre Clinton-Stein combination

They’ve Gone Insane, "And hating Trump hasn’t made them any nicer either."  . . . "Why are people so upset? What has Mr. Trump done that’s so awful? His choices for the Cabinet fall well within the range of the usual types — Wall Street, campaign helpers, ideological bedfellows. Despite what you may have read online, none of them has made horrible statements. None is a Klansman. None is a Nazi. They have different views from those of the ACLU, but that’s what you get in a free country.

"The voters voted in a candidate with certain views. That candidate won fair and square. He gets to choose people he agrees with and who agree with him.

"The media powerhouses and the morons on college campuses cannot accept that someone with views different from theirs will be president. They riot. They burn Old Glory. They stop speaking to me.

"This is exactly the opposite of how a free country should be run. And besides, what can Trump do that will be so bad?"

Michael Flynn’s Son Has Left Trump Transition Team

WSJ

"A gunman was arrested at the pizza restaurant on Sunday afternoon, telling officers he had come to liberate endangered children after reading about the restaurant on the Internet, according to police.

"In the wake of the shooting, the younger Mr. Flynn challenged the media to prove that the claims surrounding Comet Ping Pong were indeed baseless*, tweeting: “Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it’ll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many ‘coincidences’ tied to it.”

"The hacked emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta were published by Wikileaks in the weeks leading up to the election. Portions of those emails figure into the conspiracy theory." . . .

Harry Reid has used this tactic against Mitt Romney as you may recall.

Obama claims pride in his anti- terrorism efforts over the last eight years

Obama praises Obama's policies for 'breaking the back' of terrorism

. . . "This certainly isn't the first time he has said this.  In 2012, before the election, Obama repeatedly said the terrorist groups were decimated and on the run. (Of course, most of the media went along.)

"The obvious reason why the narcissist* Obama is out there repeating the same garbage he said four years ago is because Trump is taking too much attention away from him. " . . .

*He of the 2008 Greek columns in Denver's stadium

Many troops cannot seem to appreciate Obama's performance during final national security speech   "President Obama received tepid applause from troops in Tampa, Florida during his last nation security speech as president.

"Obama made the eyebrow-raising declaration that, “We should take great pride in the progress we’ve made over the last eight years. No foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.' ”

. . . As mild applause broke out, the cameras cut to the audience.

"Of the roughly 20 service members shown at MacDill Air Force Base, only three were clapping.

Most sat with their hands folded or motionless. One man rubbed his eyes.

"Most didn’t applaud likely because they remembered attacks being carried out in San Bernardino, California, and Orlando, Florida by jihadis vowing allegiance to ISIS.

"And they likely remembered, too, ISIS claiming credit for the attack on Ohio State University by a Somali “refugee.' ” . . .

Here Is Your Complete List Of Islamic Terror Attacks During The Obama Administration as of March 22, 2016

The Islamic "deadly terror attack in Brussels, Belgium was yet another Islamic terror attack that has occurred during President Barack Obama's administration. Obama's weakness on the world stage and failure to even utter the words "radical Islamic terrorism" has emboldened the Islamic jihadist movement and has caused their evil expansion and growth. Here is the complete list of Islamic terror attacks that have occurred under Obama's watch."

. . . Hallelujah, and let’s all go to the ballgame.

"Why would we expect anything more from the president who spent yesterday posing in front of a mural of communist terrorist Che Guevara, a man who advocated that Cuba nuke the United States during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and who planned a prospective November 1962 terrorist attack involving bombing Macy’s Gimbels, Bloomingdale’s and Grand Central Station the day after Thanksgiving? . . .

"Why would we expect anything more from the man who signed the Iran deal that forwarded a terror state’s nuclear ambitions? Why would we expect anything more from the man who has allowed ISIS to rise from “jayvee team” to scourge of the West?" . . .
