President
Obama has directed his administration to prepare to take in at least 10,000
Syrian refugees next year.
Suicide
of the West? Chancellor Angela Merkel
has said the "breathtaking" flow of migrants into Germany will
"occupy and change" the country in the coming years. French President
Francois Hollande said France would take 24,000 refugees and that quotas for EU
states to relocate 120,000 migrants were being planned. Meanwhile, the flow of
migrants across Europe shows no sign of easing.
A
Syrian operative claims more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen have been smuggled
into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.
Muslim “refugees” in Budapest chanted “Allahu Akbar” and
“f*** you” while others in Italy attacked an old lady and threw feces at
bystanders as Germany announced that it would be prepared to take 500,000
asylum seekers every year. The footage

Muslim “Refugee” Arriving in Europe Makes ‘Cut Throat’ Gesture to TV Camera
Donald
Trump on the Syrian refugee problem “You have the Gulf States, tremendously
wealthy….. - they’re not taking anybody. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain - these
are tremendously wealthy - they’re not taking anybody! "Russia’s not
taking, nobody’s taking. But we’re supposed to take?”
You
can’t make this up….. A Bavarian town decides to house Mid-East “refugees” in
the local grade school gymnasium. Then the school sends home letters with the
female grade-schoolers, telling the parents to insure their daughters dress
appropriately so as not to provoke the sexual inclinations of the Muslim men
being housed…. “Revealing tops or blouses, short shorts or miniskirts could
lead to misunderstandings.”
Even
in the New York Times: “Syria will be
the biggest blot on the Obama presidency, a debacle of staggering proportions.”

PRESIDENTIAL
RACE
Republican
presidential candidate Ted Cruz is heading to a Kentucky jail to support the
county clerk imprisoned for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.
Another Republican presidential hopeful, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee,
had previously announced plans to meet with Davis Tuesday.
With
favorables improving, unfavorables decreasing and two-thirds of the electorate
now believing Trump can win the nomination, the latest YouGov National Poll
shows Donald Trump dominating the rest of the field. This is the eighth
consecutive regional and national poll with Jeb Bush in single digits; a
devastating reality for the RNC/GOPe machine. The debate this week will be
their final opportunity to save Jeb – the pressure is astronomical, and you can
guarantee Fiorina and Rubio will be called upon to deliver the goods and take
out Trump. Donald Trump, on the other hand, doesn’t even need the debate.
Earlier
this year, we labeled Carson "the 2016 campaign’s most interesting long
shot" -- but that long-shot is seeing a rise in the polls in Iowa, and
nationally.
Ben
Carson is taking off the gloves — and taking on Donald Trump. The retired
neurosurgeon and Republican 2016 presidential candidate has finally begun
hitting Trump following a spate of recent polls showing him gaining ground on
the brash real estate mogul.
Trump
mocks Fiorina’s physical appearance: ´Look at that face!´
Trump
fires back at Carson: ‘Who is he to question my faith?’
For
all the talk about Donald Trump allegedly driving minorities away from the
Republican Party, could he actually bring people in? A SurveyUSA poll released
Friday shows in a hypothetical matchup with Hillary Clinton, Trump is ahead 45%
to 40% but digging into the racial breakdown of the respondents is revealing.
Donald
Trump and the Revenge of the
´Low-Information´ Voters
Ann
Coulter is firmly in Donald Trump‘s corner, especially where immigration is
concerned, and she didn’t particularly care for Fiorina’s position on
birthright citizenship.
Carson
and Trump. Both are first-time
candidates who currently top the polls in the Republican presidential primary.
Many voters praise them in the same breath as “outsiders.” But Ben Carson is no
Donald Trump.
“Trump: A Traitor to His Class” Most candidates seek to define themselves
by their policies and platforms. What differentiates Trump is not what he says,
or how he says it, but why he says it. The unifying thread running through his
seemingly incoherent policies, what defines him as a candidate and forms the
essence of his appeal, is that he seeks to speak for America. He speaks, that
is, not for America as an abstraction but for real, living Americans and for
their interests as distinct from those of people in other places. He does not
apologize for having interests as an American, and he does not apologize for
demanding that the American government vigorously prosecute those interests. What Trump offers is permission to conceive
of an American interest as a national interest separate from the “international
community” and permission to wish to see that interest triumph. What makes him
popular on immigration is not how extreme his policies are, but the emphasis he
puts on the interests of Americans rather than everyone else. His slogan is
“Make America Great Again,” and he is not ashamed of the fact that this means
making it better than other places, perhaps even at their expense.
His
least practical suggestion—making Mexico pay for the border wall—is precisely
the most significant: It shows that a President Trump would be willing to take
something from someone else in order to give it to the American people. Whether
he could achieve this is of secondary importance; the fact that he is willing
to say it is everything. Nothing is more terrifying to the business and donor
class—as well as the media and the entire elite—than Trump’s embrace of a
tangible American nationalism. The fact that Trump should by all rights be a
member of this class and is in fact a traitor to it makes him all the more
attractive to his supporters and all the more baffling to pundits.

“A
city with homeless on its streets is a city that has no love of its people. The
so-called “progressive” view, that people have a right to live on the sidewalk,
is not only legally devoid of any merit but is inhumane, indecent and
dangerous. As is the case in many other policies — redistribution of wealth,
social engineering, weak national defense — it’s a contradiction to describe
this stance as progressive. It should properly be regarded as retrogressive.
People living on the street, urinating and defecating there, marked the Dark
Ages of Western civilization. In a humane, decent

GLOBALONEY
President Obama hiked to Exit
Glacier in Alaska last week, with photographers in tow, to send the world a
message: The glacier is melting. Obama blames it on the increasing use of
fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas, which he wants to restrict not
only in the United States but worldwide. The photo op was designed to build
support for an international climate agreement he’s pushing hard to sell, so
far with little success. Trouble is, the president needs to get his facts
straight. Exit Glacier has been shrinking for 200 years — since 1815 — long
before widespread industrialization and automobiles. As the president ended his
trip, he sounded the alarm again: “This state’s climate is changing before our
eyes.” News flash, Mr. President: Alaska has been buffeted by cyclical swings
in climate for thousands of years.

ARTICLES
Very
few would have predicted on September 11, 2001 that the headlines 14 years
later would feature an American president arming Iran; that there would be
millions of Middle Eastern Arabs flooding into the heart of Europe. Or Saudi
Arabia, while refusing to accept any refugees from an Islamic civil war in
Syria, would instead offer to build 200 mosques in Germany, one for every
hundred who has arrived to spare the Germans the trouble and expense of
building the mosques themselves.

rates are skyrocketing in large U.S. cities, but President Obama´s progressive
pro-crime policies and endless racial provocations have nothing to do with it,
the New York Times predictably declared in a recent article. Nowadays Americans
are being killed and maimed explicitly because of their race. Execution-style
cop killings are becoming distressingly common. Killings and vicious assaults
based on the skin color of the civilian victim are also becoming common. That
any of this is happening shouldn´t surprise anyone who follows public events.
For years media outlets have acted as uncompensated publicists for the Obama

WISE WORDS
"It
is an object of vast magnitude that systems of education should be adopted and
pursued which may not only diffuse a knowledge of the sciences but may implant
in the minds of the American youth the principles of virtue and of liberty and
inspire them with just and liberal ideas of government and with an inviolable
attachment to their own country."
-Noah Webster
