"Missouri student protesters on Thursday demanded a place on campus that is free of any First Amendment inquiry, free of any conservatives disagreeing with them, and free of hearing anything that’s hurtful. They call it a safe space. The idea’s modeled on President Obama’s first year in office."

 "The Washington Post reported Hillary Clinton’s story that she tried to enlist in the Marines in the Seventies isn’t true. It sounded true. According to the recruiter, Hillary really did apply to the U.S. Marines but after she took the psychological test they told her we weren’t THAT mad at the Viet Cong."

. . . "Obama's "first load of 10,000 Syrian refugees arrived in the U.S., where they will be resettled into 180 unsuspecting U.S. communities.

"Coincidentally one of the Paris suicide bombers had a Syrian passport and used the refugee crisis to enter Europe.

'There is no question that ISIS is using the refugee crisis and a feckless (or malicious) administration policy to smuggle terrorists into the country.

"Where are the Syrian refugees and/or the ISIS terrorists being relocated? The pathetic stooges at The New York Times were kind enough to publish a detailed map (click on the map to explodify)."

A closer look at the climate-change consensus

The Great Climate Lie

. . . "Professor Richard Tol of the University of Sussex published a rebuttal of Cook’s paper in the journal Energy Policy. According to Tol, the 97 percent claim, “frequently repeated in debates about climate policy, does not stand. . . . [Cook’s] sample is not representative and contains many irrelevant papers. Overall, data quality is low. Cook’s validation test shows that the data are invalid. Data disclosure is incomplete so the key results cannot be reproduced or tested.”

"So: The sample selected for study was flawed. The analysis of that sample was flawed. The conclusion drawn from that analysis was flawed. And the reporting of that conclusion was flawed. To quote Professor Mike Hulme of the University of East Anglia, as quoted by Popular Technology, “the ‘97 percent consensus’ article is poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed.”

"Normally, when faced with the “scientific consensus” on global warming, conservatives dig in and say that science is not a democracy — which, of course, is true. Before Copernicus and Galileo, roughly 97 percent of scientists believed the sun orbited the earth. But what conservatives ought to do is to stop accepting the Left’s nonsense premise: There is simply no evidence of a 97 percent consensus on global warming." . . .

By the way, did you remember there was a Democrat debate this weekend?

Three highlights (actually, lowlights) of the Democratic presidential debate  "During the Democratic presidential debate lots of dumb stuff was bandied about. Including:
Bernie Sanders’ wild assertion that (1) climate change is the greatest national security threat the United States faces, and (2) climate change and terrorism are inextricably linked. Per Sanders, “climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism.” Wow. I did not know that. Thanks Uncle Bernie! Quick question for ya’: Since you believe that climate change is a relatively new phenomenon, how do you explain 1400 years of Muslims trying to conquer the world?

"Meanwhile, all three candidates expressed unwavering commitment to bringing more “refugees” to the United States. Even in the face of this week’s terror attacks. Sanders said we have a “moral responsibility” to these “refugees.” (Heaven forbid we have a moral responsibility to ourselves.) " . . .


Candidates Perform Contortions to Avoid Saying ‘Radical Islam’ at #DemDebate

"The first 20 or so minutes of last night’s Democrat debate was devoted to national security with an emphasis on the terror attacks in Paris. It was a subject that made everyone on stage visibly uncomfortable.

"Jenna Lifhits of the Washington Free Beacon:


"Hillary Clinton refused to use the term “radical Islam” to describe groups like the Islamic State Saturday at the Democratic debate, despite having used the term “radical Islamic jihadist groups” four days prior.


"When moderator John Dickerson asked Clinton whether she agreed with Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R., Fla.) statement that the Paris attacks show “that we are at war with Radical Islam,” Clinton said she would use a term other than “Radical Islam.' ” . . .
“I don’t think we’re at war with Islam,” she said Saturday. “I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims. I think we’re at war with jihadists.”

Drudge reports on the Islamic influx into Europe - and probably America

'Just wait…' Islamic State reveals it has smuggled THOUSANDS of extremists into Europe

The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into the EU

"The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.

"The ISIS smuggler, who is in his thirties and is described as having a trimmed jet-black beard, revealed the ongoing clandestine operation is a complete success.

" 'Just wait," he smiled.

"The Islamic State operative spoke exclusively to BuzzFeed on the condition of anonymity and is believed to be the first to confirm plans to infiltrate western countries" . . .

Paris attacks put dagger through heart of liberal Europe

. . . “ 'My concern is that Isis have actually said that they will use the migrant wave to flood Europe with half a million of their jihadi fighters,” he said in a radio interview, “Now even if that’s wrong, even it its only 5,000 - even if it’s only 500 - I am very worried about that.' ” . . .

Madonna Wrong To Think Terrorists Will Stop By Giving Them “Dignity And Respect” And “Love Unconditionally”  "Does Madonna really think if we gave ISIS “love unconditionally” they would no longer perpetrate horrific acts of violence? And can Madonna really “love unconditionally” a group that beheads, throws over the sides of building, and stones to death men for being gay?"

Mizzou Campus Activists and Black Lives Matter   Complain About Paris Stealing the Spotlight . . ."Black Lives Matter and Mizzou protesters responded to the murder of scores of people in Paris at the hands of Islamic extremists by complaining about losing the spotlight and saying their “struggles” were being “erased.” Their struggles, remember, consist of a poop swastika of unknown provenance and unsubstantiated claims of racially-charged remarks somewhere near Missouri’s campus."

"Time for Obama to lead us or resign"

"He has put his intellect and rhetorical skills into the dishonorable service of assigning blame and fudging failure."

Michael Goodwin

. . . "That eternal truth is so obvious that it should not need to be said. Yet even after the horrific slaughter in Paris, there remains a distressing doubt about whether America’s commander in chief gets it.

"President Obama has spent the last seven years trying to avoid the world as it is. He has put his intellect and rhetorical skills into the dishonorable service of assigning blame and fudging failure. If nuances were bombs, Islamic State would have been destroyed years ago.

"He refuses to say “Islamic terrorism,” as if that would offend the peaceful Muslims who make up the vast bulk of victims. He rejects the word “war,” even as jihadists carry out bloodthirsty attacks against Americans and innocent peoples around the world.

"He shuns the mantle of global leadership that comes with the Oval Office, with an aide advancing the preposterous concept that Obama is “leading from behind.” He snubs important partners like Egypt, showers concessions on the apocalyptic mullahs of Iran, and called the Islamic State the “jayvee team” even as it was beginning to create a caliphate." . . .

Cruz: Obama ‘does not wish to defend this country’

Putin Laughs Off Obama At G20 Summit  . . . "When images of Barack Obama shaking hands with President-host Erdogan flashed across one of the many monitors placed throughout the G20 summit it proved further fodder for rebuke by the Russian strongman, who then pointed to a monitor while shaking his head at the sight of the widely smiling and seemingly passive American president."

. . .

"Just a day prior to the Paris terror attacks President Obama again said publicly that ISIS was contained. That opinion is said to have been repeated among various world leaders as they meet in Turkey, only lessening Mr. Obama’s already plummeting  significance on the world stage."

The Other Shoe Dropped at the Bataclan

The Gates of Vienna

"The first shoe hit the floor back in 2008, and it has taken seven years — far longer than the Muslims who made the threats had intended — for the other shoe to fall.

"The jihad atrocities committed in Paris last night strongly resembled those carried out in Mumbai almost exactly seven years ago. But this year’s earlier attacks in Paris (the Charlie Hebdo massacres) and Copenhagen were the same type of action on a smaller scale. And in all three the attacks targeting the native ethnic group were immediately followed by a concerted effort to hit Jewish targets and kill Jews.

"Bearing that in mind, Vlad and I waited last night for grim news to emerge from one of the Jewish neighborhoods in Paris. We expected it to happen before anyone claimed responsibility for the attacks — that would be the normal pattern. But the Islamic State announced that it was responsible for all the terror and bloodshed in the wee hours, without any Jewish targets being hit.

"Or so it seemed." . . .

Waging the War on "Terror", Vichy-Style

"Our premodern enemies have certainly got our postmodern number. Newsmen compete to warn us not of more jihadists to come or the nature of the Islamist hatred that fuels these murderers, but instead fret about Western “backlash” on the horizon, about how nativists and right-wingers may now “scapegoat” immigrants." 

Victor Davis Hanson
"A few hours before the catastrophic attack in Paris, President Obama had announced that ISIS was now “contained,” a recalibration of his earlier assessments of “on the run” and “Jayvees” from a few years back. In the hours following the attack of jihadist suicide bombers and mass murderers in Paris, the Western press talked of the “scourge of terrorism” and “extremist violence”. Who were these terrorists and generic extremists who slaughtered the innocent in Paris — anti-abortionists, Klansmen, Tea-party zealots?

"Middle Eastern websites may be crowing over the jihadist rampage and promising more to come, but this past week in the United States we were obsessed over a yuppie son of a multi-millionaire showboating his pseudo-grievances by means of a psychodramatic hunger strike at the University of Missouri and a crowd of cry-baby would-be fascists at Yale bullying a wimpy teacher over supposedly hurtful Halloween costumes. I guess that is the contemporary American version of Verdun and the Battle of the Bulge."

Islam: Time To Declare War?

. . . "What is the answer?   The free world must declare war on radical Islam, an all-out war.  But it also must work with those Muslims who say they are against violence to somehow change the Islamic teachings to eliminate the calls for violence. Our US President had the opportunity to do so when Egypt’s President Sisi called for a revision to Islamic teachings at the beginning of this year. Yet Obama has been totally quiet in response.  His devotion to Islamic change must surely be questioned given any lack of action." . . .

Brian Williams Asks RIDICULOUS Question About How Paris Attacks Will Affect THIS

"Yes…Brian Williams really did say that. You can’t make this stuff up anymore.

Brian was concerned about how the attacks will affect the messaging of the Paris Climate Change Conference which is scheduled to begin at the end of this month. I kid you not as you can see in this video of his interview with Weather Channel managing editor Sam Champion who was in Paris for an Al Gore event.

You Won’t BELIEVE Who This Liberal Site Is Blaming for Paris Attacks – UNREAL

It’s Time to Give Jihadists the Apocalypse They Long For — and Other Thoughts About the Nightmare in Paris

"First, a multi-pronged military-style assault on civilian soft targets is exactly the kind of terrorist attack I’ve long feared. Every western capital is vulnerable to attacks like this, and the combination of open borders and thousands of European and American citizens fighting for ISIS renders all of our cities open to assault. This is likely not the last major urban attack, and we may see another soon." . . .

Now about those Muslim refugees...

Ted Cruz calls for end to Syrian refugee resettlement
"While the Obama administration is “moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States,” Senator Ted Cruz is calling for an immediate halt to Syrian refugee resettlement. Half of them aren’t from Syria and most of them are colonizers, but no matter. Let’s get about the business of doing as much as we can as fast as we can to save ourselves. And this is a start. Per The Right Scoop, Cruz put out the following statement on Friday:

“America must stand with our allies against the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism. This is an evil that does not discriminate between French, German or American, Christian, Muslim or Jew, soldier, football player, or concert goer. Their only goal is to murder those who do not submit to their vicious, totalitarian ideology. Our deepest condolences go out to our French allies, and I know the government of the United States stands by to offer any assistance necessary. . . .

. . . "Let’s get going. Because 10,000 of said “refugees” (aka young, fit, fighting age, male colonizers) just arrived in New Orleans and will eventually be dispersed to 180 cities across America that coordinate with nine charities (and their affiliates) to make sure these invaders get everything they need." . . .

The names of the people responsible for the massacres in France   . . . "It's especially imperative that Republicans don't nominate someone like Jeb Bush, who calls for letting more of these potential killers in, or Marco Rubio, who says he wants more once they are "vetted," an impossibility when people are coming from a destroyed country with no records.

"I feel sorry for the French dead, but Europeans, at least a majority of them, voted for the policies that led to this by electing these leaders."

Enough Is Enough: Paris Terror Attacks Prove the Borders Have to Be Closed   "We have known for months that ISIS uses the “refugee crisis” to smuggle people into Western Europe. These individuals then form sleeper cells that are put on standby until ISIS’ leaders call on them to carry out attacks. This is basically what happened yesterday: ISIS’ sleepers laid low for a while, but acted when the order was given. As a result, around 130 innocent people were killed. In cold blood.
"Enough is enough. There’s nothing compassionate about letting hordes of so-called refugees into the West — “refugees” who don’t share our values and some of whom actually hate us and want to kill us."

Now we can all share our ignorance about the Paris Muslim radical attacks

Four Brief Video Clips Which Explain Liberals’ Views on the Paris Attack
"The blame America crowd is out in full force.

"Bill Maher blamed the ISIS attack on the US bombing in Syria. Some believe that if we bomb them there, they won’t attack us in the States. Maher says the opposite. He also said that our war over there caused the problem but actually, it was Obama leaving without a status of forces agreement that changed the course of the wars we had won, though at great cost.

"Maher thinks Iran is fighting ISIS and we only have to sit back with popcorn."

. . . Obama wouldn’t even call it radical Islamic terrorism, but rather, he called it “extremism”. He didn’t call Hollande because he knew he was “busy” and it was too soon “to speculate at this point in terms of who was responsible for this.”

Paris attacks: ‘It’s lazy to say France’s terrorist attacks nothing to do with Islam’, says Culture Secretary Sajid Javid

. . . "Sajid Javid, a Muslim, called on Britain’s Islamic community to contact the police if they suspect someone they know has been radicalised or may be vulnerable to the influence of hate preachers. " . . .

Paris attacks spark another wave of #hashtags deflecting attention from evil, blasphemous islam to ... a new wave of 'islamophobia' (as if fearing being detonated, shot, beheaded, stabbed or otherwise slaughtered by followers of the false prophet of islam is some sort of irrational fear)
. . . "On the political level, leaders of predominantly Muslim countries swiftly condemned the Paris attacks. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani released a statement calling the wave of explosions and gunfire "crimes against humanity."

"In the name of the Iranian people, who have themselves been victims of terrorism, I strongly condemn these crimes against humanity and offer my condolences to the grieving French people and government," Rouhani said.

"Shuja Shafi, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, released a statement Saturday calling the attacks "horrific and abhorrent" and not a representation of Islam. "This attack is being claimed by the group calling themselves ‘Islamic State’. There is nothing Islamic about such people and their actions are evil, and outside the boundaries set by our faith," Shafi said."
