Cyber Jihad: ISIS Targets Social Media Profiles of Air Force Member and Son

Victory Girls   "Last week, we reported on the bulletin that our U.S. Army has circulated to those both currently serving in our military, as well as veterans, about ISIS’s threat to target online social media profiles of military personnel and their family members. And it looks like that’s exactly what’s now happening.

"An Air Force member and his teenaged son have been harassed by ISIS sympathizers, targeting their FaceBook profiles and engaging in an all-out cyber jihad on them, labeling them “kafir,” or non-believer, as well as various other derogatory statements. It’s an effort, as reported last week, to encourage other ISIS supporters—lone wolves—to locate their homes, hunt them down and “slaughter” them."

Does Obama recognize evil in this world, or has he just lost the courage and passion to stand up to it?

He does seem to do just the fun stuff. But if Obama has given up, his underlings and mentors are still as doctrinaire as ever I'd say.
Islamic radicals may safely take this president lightly, but heaven help you if you are an American conservative.

Panetta: Obama Has Given Up  "Tuesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta declared President Barack Obama's approach to be like a law professor, however without the aspect of rolling up his sleeves and to get the job done.
Instead he suggested Obama has given up.

"Panetta said, "He [Obama] approaches things like a law professor in presenting a logic of his position. There is nothing wrong with that. We want to have a president who thinks through the issues. My experience in Washington is that logic alone doesn't work. Once you lay out a position, you are going to roll up your sleeves and you have to fight to get it done. That is key in Washington. In order for presidents to succeed, they cannot just -- when they run into problems, step back and give up."

" 'There is a feeling and I have a feeling that the leadership and the president have given up on the big issues facing this country whether it's immigration or a budget deal or infrastructure funding or trade or energy. there is a sense that you can't deal with that. This country needs that. They can't give up."

 Roger L Simon at PJ Media writes,  "Increasingly, I am thinking that Barack Obama does not know the difference between good and evil"   ... "ISIS had already provided us with more than enough examples of mass murder and other Holocaust-like actions to last several lifetimes.  In two videos I saw, dozens of Middle Eastern men were decapitated, their severed heads placed on poles while others were shot through the back of the neck and dumped unceremoniously into pits they had dug for themselves.
... "Evil does not interest him, especially if it has nothing to do with votes.  Evil does not even exist for him. Only fairness." ...
...
"At the same time as IS is rampaging, Obama’s equally morality-challenged crew at the State Department is busy criticizing (what else?) Israel, yet again for Jewish construction and apartment purchase in  Jerusalem Arab neighborhoods." ...

Disagreeing with Panetta, FITSNEWS takes issue with his points:  ... "Beyond being self-serving, Panetta’s comments are also at odds with reality.

"Last time we checked, Obama has gotten plenty of “big issues” done – notably a “stimulus” that’s produced record dependency and joblessness and a health care law that’s produced higher premiums.  Oh, and he’s successfully “spread the wealth around,” too … just not how many of his supporters imagined." ...

Teacup totalitarians target Connecticut home-schoolers

NRO

 

"Home-schoolers represent the only authentically radical social movement in the United States (Occupy Wall Street was a fashion statement) and so they must be suppressed, as a malevolent committee of leftist academics and union bosses under the direction of Governor Dannel Malloy is preparing to do in Connecticut, using the Sandy Hook massacre as a pretext. The ghouls invariably rush to the podium after every school massacre, issuing their insipid press releases before the bodies have even cooled, and normally they’re after your guns. But the Malloy gang is after your children." ... Full article...

Krauthammer’s Take: Obama Wants to Hand the Islamic State Fight Over to Next President

Interpreting the statistics on the US bombing campaign of ISIS: one air strike means one truck destroyed. TD

National Review Online
 

 

"On Monday’s Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said former defense secretary Leon Panetta’s criticism of President Obama’s foreign policy, including the withdrawal from Iraq, was consistent with past statements made by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and former defense secretary Robert Gates.

“ 'There is agreement among the top advisers of Obama himself, his top national-security advisers, that he was indecisive; that he let opportunities pass” when it came to dealing with the Islamic State, Krauthammer said.

“ 'I think what we’re seeing now, with his inability and unwillingness to help in the fight in Kobane, which is a very critical fight where ISIS is, now has the upper hand, Obama seems to want to contain the situation until the end of his term and then hand it off,” Krauthammer said. Kobane is a Kurdish city in Syria along the Turkish border that the Islamic State has been reportedly trying to take for weeks."  (Emphasis mine, TD)

Can't you see it now? Obama spent these past six years blaming the Bush administration for his problems and after he leaves office, guess what? He will dump this world mess on his successor and continue to blame them for not handling it the way he would have. "If I could have had a third term, things would not be this bad!" The smiling sycophants that he always gathers behind him will clap and cheer.

KURDS BLAST OBAMA For Sitting Back & Letting Kobane Fall to ISIS

  "The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) raised on Monday its black Islamic flags on a building on the eastern side of Kobane. The ISIS militants have been fighting Kurdish forces for three weeks before entering Kobane today.

 

"Today Kurdish supporters blasted Barack Obama for sitting back and allowing Kobane to fall to ISIS.

TD did an internet search for "Obama’s Foreign Policy Successes". The first group to come up included this aptly titled one from 2011 at the liberal site, Think Progress: "Obama’s Foreign Policy Successes.  Among those Think Progress listed were:

• KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN, RAMPED UP CAMPAIGN AGAINST AL QAEDA
• MOBILIZED INT’L COALITION TO PROTECT LIBYAN PRO-DEMOCRACY DEMONSTRATORS
• ISOLATED AND WEAKENED IRAN
• ORDERED THE COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL OF U.S. FORCES FROM IRAQ BY END OF THE YEAR
• REPEALED DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL
• HALVED THE NUMBER OF RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN NUCLEAR MISSILE LAUNCHERS
• STRENGTHENED U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP

Plus others, of which I sincerely liked this one the most: "KILLED SENIOR AL QAEDA LEADER ANWAR AL AWLAKI".

Seattle City Council votes to rename Columbus Day to 'Indigenous Peoples' Day

Examiner.com

 

"It's the kind of political correctness to be expected in a city that elected a socialist and ordered workers to quit using the term "citizen" in official documents. On Monday, the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to change Columbus Day to "Indigenous Peoples' Day" to recognize that Native Americans were on the continent before Christopher Columbus first set foot on it in 1492.

"Mayor Ed Murray is expected to "swiftly" sign the measure, Reuters said. Once signed, the change will take effect for the upcoming holiday.

"But the measure doesn't end there. It also acknowledges that Seattle, a city named after a tribal chief, was built atop indigenous peoples' homes, Reuters added." ...

America's Best Interest Not A Priority For President Obama

 Thomas Sowell   "The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is both a danger in itself and a wake-up call for Americans — about President Obama, about the institutions of this country and, most important, about ourselves.

"There was a time when an outbreak of a deadly disease overseas would bring virtually unanimous agreement that our top priority should be to keep it overseas. Yet Barack Obama has refused to bar entry to the United States by people from countries where the Ebola epidemic rages, as Britain has done.

"The reason? Refusing to let people with Ebola enter the U.S. would conflict with the goal of fighting the disease. In other words, the safety of the American people takes second place to the goal of helping people overseas."   Read More At Investor's Business Daily:

 

 

Reasons for Political Hope

Bruce S. Thornton  "Many Republicans are excited about the midterm elections. They see a good chance of taking over the Senate, which means they can neutralize Obama’s last few years in office. ... Regaining the presidency, some believe, will lead to a reprise of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, in which the country was turned from its leftward drift under Jimmy Carter.
...
"Then there are the nearly 66 million American people who reelected as president an inexperienced narcissist, serial liar, racial divider, and manifest failure. Whether they did so out of juvenile idealism, hope for racial reconciliation, or the lure of more government handouts doesn’t really matter. This lack of judgment and basic information, or sacrifice of principle to self-interest, bespeaks an electorate significant numbers of whom are unlikely to support any politician or party that seriously attempts to halt runaway entitlement spending, debt, and deficits, or to rebuild our military deterrence and reassert our will globally."

...
One source of hope Mr. Thornton explains is: 
 
... "Finally, new communication technologies have broken the monopoly liberals once held over information and commentary. Before the rise of talk-radio in the 80s, political opinion was controlled by a few score network news anchors, magazine editors, and syndicated columnists. Today there are hundred of thousands of voices and opinions on cable news networks like Fox News, blogs, on-line magazines like FrontPage, websites, social networks like Facebook, and video sites like YouTube. It’s clear that the persistence of Fox News in reporting the Benghazi debacle and the IRS scandal have kept these administration failures alive in the public square. "  (Emphasis added               
 

"In the Netherlands, a "moderate Muslim" is someone who thinks Isis is a Zionist front group"

Mark Steyn   Who is Yasmina Haifi? She's an official at the Dutch Ministry of Justice who serves as project leader at the Netherlands' National Cyber Security Center. And she thinks Isis is a Zionist plot to make Islam look bad.

"She could be right. On the other hand, maybe Yasmina Haifi is a Zionist plot to make Islam look bad - or at any rate deranged....

"Look at Yasmina Haifi in the photograph at right - she's not a burqa-wreathed crone, but a modern western career woman in a foxy red jacket with just a hint of cleavage. And yet she cannot bear the truth about her religion and what is done in its name. So she takes refuge in the laziest conspiracy of all. In the Netherlands, an "extremist" Muslim supports Isis because it's chopping the heads off infidels, but a "moderate" Muslim opposes Isis because it's a Zionist front group.

"This is the human capital with which the Netherlands has chosen to build its future." ...More...

 More on this man from Steyn: this Tweet from Tarek Fatah caught my eye:

When @MarkSteynOnline wrote "Future Belongs to Islam", I scoffed at it, but 10 yrs later I believe him. Facing Islamism are cowardly wimps.

... "And so Birmingham [England] will be Muslim. And then where? England will cease to exist as anything other than as a geographic designation. David Cameron can still get miffed about beheadings, but, when a society has opted for assisted suicide, that's a difference only of degree."

Barack Obama will not be impeached; that is not a realistic possibility. But his enablers can be fired in November.

Ed Lasky   "The only advice Barack Obama offered that is worth following is a bit of one he gave to supporters in 2012.

"Days before Barack Obama was reelected, he fired up a crowd of supporters at a campaign rally -- inside a public high school, no less -- with the call for them to vote out of revenge.
 

 

"It was a disgrace for a president of the United States to think and to verbalize such a sentiment.  But Americans should not have been unduly shocked for the president is a man whose perception of democracy was that is useful to “punish your enemies and reward your friends.”

Failure of the Feminist Word Police

NRO   "Modern feminists seem dedicated to teaching us uncultured regular people that many of our favorite common expressions are actually offensive slurs. “You guys.” “Oh, man!” “Man up!” They say these phrases create a male-centric society that oppresses women sexually and professionally, whether we intend them to or not.  

"You might think that these language-vetting philosopher-cops would make sure that their movement’s own language was coherent and appropriate. But you would be wrong.

"Apparently, the language vetters didn’t do such a good job vetting the language of their own initiatives. This movement, so obsessed with semantics that it equates the use of longstanding common phrases to oppression against women, might want to be more vigilant — or, better yet, focus on more important issues."

Grimes Staff Caught on Hidden Camera: She’s Lying About Support for Coal Industry

 

Lachlan Markay   "U.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes is lying about her support for the state’s coal industry according to Kentucky Democrats, including members of her campaign team, who were captured on a hidden camera video.

"The video, produced by conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe, shows five employees of the Grimes campaign and local Democratic Party affiliates speculating that the Democratic challenger to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) is only professing her support for the industry out of political expediency."

“Let me set it straight for you Mitch McConnell. I am the pro-coal candidate in this race,” Grimes declared at a recent campaign event with former President Bill Clinton.

 

Rick Moran at American Thinker covers this as well:  What Alison Lundergan Grimes really thinks about the coal industry

"That kind of cynicism is rare, even in politics. The fact is, politicians will say a lot of things to get elected, but on big issues, they will usually avoid lying. Hedging and trimming on an issue like coal in Kentucky was probably the smarter play, rather than coming out full bore against the EPA.

"In this case, Grimes would have an opportunity to put her money where her mouth is. McConnell should pose the question whether she would vote for his amendment that would prevent the EPA from finalizing the draconian rules on CO2 emissions that would vritually kill the coal industry. If she says yes, she will lose Democratic votes. If she says no, she will be a proven liar and be buried.

"O'Keefe, whose undercover videos have revealed massive hypocrisy by Democrats and liberals, says that this is only the beginning. More videos are on the way."
