""We're going to do an intense look at him to see what his connections are," FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold said. "We'll look at his friends, family, associates -- anybody who is associated with him to determine the cause or the reason why he conducted this attack."

""Today was a nightmare for the city of Chattanooga," Mayor Andy Berke said. "As a city, we will respond to this with every available resource that we have."

"Within minutes of that attack, the shooter then opened fire at the Navy Operational Support Center and Marine Corps Reserve Center Chattanooga, about 7 miles away. Reinhold said all of the dead were killed there."

Exposing Iran Deal Is Congress' Most Important Job In History

IBD Editorial   . . . "Then comes debate on the House and Senate floors, and finally a vote. Even short of two- thirds majorities — that is, all Republicans and some Democrats — will make it clear Americans oppose this deal.
Granted, public opposition didn't stop Obama on ObamaCare. But mushroom clouds are a bigger attention-getter than skyrocketing health care premiums.

A couple if minor details on the Iran deal press conference

 

Obama Official Lied On Iran Deal: “We Never Sought ‘Anytime Anywhere’ Inspections”

Video; "Three months ago during a discussion about a possible nuclear deal with Iran, Deputy White House National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said that the United States would require inspection access “anywhere and anytime.”   . . .
"Really? Because on Tuesday, he told the same network that “we never sought, in this negotiation, the capacity for so-called ‘anytime, anywhere’ where you could go basically anywhere in the country.' ”  There's that term "snap back" again.

CBS reporter shrugs off 'spanking' by Obama 

 Obama values an American deserter/traitor more than 4 innocent Americans held hostage by Iran. . . "Left behind were four innocent American hostages imprisoned by the regime for years.  On Wednesday, CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett asked about them.  Barack Obama, the snarkiest, most thin-skinned president in American history, lashed out – not at the Iranians, but at the temerity of Garrett for daring to ask him the question."

PHOTOS: Protesters Welcome Obama To Oklahoma With Confederate Flags

TPM

 

"Supporters of the Confederate flag rallied Wednesday in Oklahoma as President Barack Obama arrived in the state for a series of events, including the first ever visit to a federal prison by a sitting President."

"About 10 people waving Confederate battle flags were among the crowd that gathered Wednesday night outside the Oklahoma City hotel where Obama was expected to stay, according to a White House pool report. One person waved an American flag and another held up a pro-Obama sign, the report noted.

"Protesters also gathered earlier in the day near Durant, Oklahoma before Obama arrived at a local high school to deliver remarks on a program expanding high-speed Internet access, according to local TV station KFOR.

Hillary favorability: Drip, drip, drip …

Legal Insurrection     "Cumulative effect of years of scandals, down to 39% overall and falling among Dems."

"Long ago and far away I predicted that the effect on Hillary’s presidential campaign of the multiple scandals would be cumulative.
"Since a large portion of the electorate, the younger generation, didn’t know the real Hillary of the 1990s, Hillary’s vulnerability was that the manufactured “nice grandma” and glass-ceiling breaker image of her would be supplanted by the controlling, paranoid figure of the 1990s.
"There is increasing evidence that the scandals, particularly the email scandal, is having an effect.
You can see from the HuffPo Pollster chart that Hillary has been on a horrible favorability trajectory for the past two years:

 

"There is more evidence today, in an AP-Gfk Poll that shows Hillary’s favorability dropping to 39% among all voters, and even dropped among Democrats (though still high):" . . .

We interviewed the Obama voter at right who said he was all for Hillary. 
"Count me among the 39% ", he proclaimed.
 At least we think that was what he said.

NAACP man wants Stone Mountain carving destroyed. (UPDATED)

Pretty much as ISIS is destroying antiquities in the Middle East. And to hear them all explain their reasons, it will sound reasonable to pliable ears; "skulls full of mush" if I may quote Rush Limbaugh.

 

They have already destroyed many archaeological relics, deeming them pagan

Now, on to this line of reasoning in a more civilized culture: ours:

ABC News"The president of the Atlanta NAACP says the group wants Confederate symbols — including a giant carving at Stone Mountain Park — removed from all government-owned property and plans to pursue making those changes during the next legislative session.

. .  .

"Dylann Storm Roof, a white man who was photographed with the flag several times, is charged in the shooting deaths and authorities are investigating the killings as a hate crime.

Stone Mountain — roughly 15 miles east of downtown Atlanta — features a large carving of Jefferson Davis, who was president of the Confederacy, and generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The Ku Klux Klan also once held notorious cross-burnings and organizational meetings there." . . .

Why Does the Left Treat Islamic Terrorism with More Nuance Than the Confederate Flag?  . . . "Claude Berube, director of the Naval Academy Museum, recently compared the rush to dig up Confederate graves and tear down statues in the U.S. to Islamic iconoclasm. The Taliban blew up the Bamiyan Buddhas on the grounds that they violate Islamic law. The terrorist group Islamic State is ransacking historic monuments for both God and mammon." . . .

Is the display of the ISIS flag considered a "hate crime"?

Atlanta NAACP Advocates Destroying Stone Mountain Confederate Monument 
. . . "At the heart of these actions is the insistence that offensive memories of history will be erased and a pure ideological creed established. Civilization will be purified from the sins of the past, and a new day will dawn. The destruction is all futile, of course, as human nature and human history will remain unchanged. History will go on much as it always has -- a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly, be it South or North.

"But if you think those who wish to destroy history will stop with destroying monuments and statues; that their lust for purification will be assuaged once the Stone Mountain monument is blown up, you would be terribly wrong." . . .

Obama Writes Personal Letters to 46 Felons; No Contact with Kathryn Steinle’s Family
. . . " Like the 46 felons to whom Obama wrote, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez had served time for non-violent offenses, some of them drug-related. After his arrest, Lopez-Sanchez, who had been deported five times to Mexico, confessed to shooting Steinle as she walked with her family at the popular tourist spot."  . . .

And he wants them to vote!  He actually said so.

Obama sweeps history toward the Mullahs

 Obama spikes Iran Nuke football; "Obama runs to Thomas Friedman at NY Times for softball interview. "

Legal Insurrection

 

"I can’t recall an event since I started this website in 2008 that has been as historically consequential as the nuclear deal the United States and five other countries just struck with Iran.

"It is the sweep of history.

"The deal is Obama’s deal. He drove it, he crafted it with John Kerry as the scrivener, and he pulled the other powers along with it.

"The defects in the Iran nuclear deal are being exposed in great detail. Those problems are serious and real.

"But what has troubled me the most as I read through the varied technical analyses is the same thing that has bothered me since June 2009, when the Iranian people rose up against the Mullah regime after fraudulent elections.

"Obama was silent for weeks in the face of brutal regime oppression and repression, and then structured a response designed to keep the Mullahs in power." . . .

"I wrote about it at the time, Negotiations Preconditioned On Mullah Rule:

During the [2008] campaign and after assuming the presidency, Barack Obama repeatedly stated his willingness to engage in negotiations with Iran without any preconditions. But that was and is not true.

The events of the past two weeks [of June 2009], including the revelation that Obama sent a letter in May to “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reveal that there is one precondition to negotiations which Obama willingly embraces: United States acceptance of Mullah rule in Iran in perpetuity. . . .

More.

Obama had to choose between war and dishonor. He chose.

Obama Chose Dishonor and War    "President Obama had to choose between dishonor and war, and he chose dishonor. Now we will have a war. In order to establish a legacy for his failed foreign policy, he has dishonored U.S. allies in the Middle East, including Israel and the Persian Gulf states, by deliberately abandoning their security concerns by paving the way for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.

"These words are those of Churchill after the Munich Agreement was signed, when Britain and France believed that handing Czechoslovakia to Hitler was the only way to save the world from another war. It is regarded as the shameful culmination of the Allied refusal to confront Nazi aggression and gave Hitler what he wanted in exchange for his verbal promise of “peace in our time” as Neville Chamberlain called it." . . .

. . . Now each one of us, Jews and non- Jews alike, have a responsibility to exert pressure on the U.S. Congress to prevent it from signing off on the deal. A two-thirds majority in both houses is needed to bypass a probable presidential veto. The Congress must stop the bad deal with Iran and U.S. Jews must choose Israel’s survival over Obama’s legacy.


"Otherwise, future generations will ask what you did to save the Jewish State when President Obama, the modern-day Chamberlain, gave Jihadist Iran a nuclear weapon."

Mark Steyn continues in the Munich vein here: Far Worse Than Munich

. . . But I thought that comparison was unfair to Chamberlain. He was an honorable man who loved his country and just happened to get the greatest issue of the day wrong. You can't say the same of Obama: . . .

.

NRO Editorial: Don’t Try Trusting Iran   . . . "The Obama administration risibly maintains that the only alternative to the agreement would be war. The alternative would have been tightening the screws on Iran until it came to the table willing to sign a reasonable deal and forswear its terrorist activities across the globe. Other powers may be itching to undo the sanctions regime now, but the Bush and Obama administrations had managed to get them on board, pushing Iran close to economic collapse in 2013 — before President Obama let the mullahs off the hook with an interim deal."

Could the Iran Deal Be the Worst International Accord of All Time?
