fundamental transformation: Obama wants

The federal
government can tell you how many "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific

Alaska Natives" who were arrested for vagrancy or how many whites were
busted for counterfeiting in any given year. But the government agencies that
crunch crime numbers are utterly unable -- or unwilling -- to pinpoint for the
public how many illegal immigrants are arrested within U.S. borders each year.

John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) is bracing for what could be the toughest weeks of his

Classified
emails passed through commercial email services like Google and AOL on their
path to or from a private server maintained by Hillary Clinton when she was
secretary of state, but so far, the government appears to have done little to
retrieve or secure the messages.
“What´s most
fascinating about this New York Times story, which ran over the weekend, isn´t
that it depicts Hillary Clinton as unapologetic and calculating. It´s that the
Times spoke to at least six sources within her inner circle who helped paint
the unflattering portrait, charting Hillary´s halting journey from obstinately
refusing to apologize to finally issuing an insincere mea culpa as her email
scandal continued to spiral.”
Hillary had
to know this was awkward, but modern conventions of political correctness now
require liberal women to stand unequivocally behind alleged victims of sexual
assault. So, here was Hillary on Monday: “To every survivor of sexual
assault…You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed.
We’re with you.” That’s of course news to a number of women who Hillary not
only refused to believe, she actively participated in campaigns to discredit
them and destroy their reputations.

PRESIDENTIAL
RACE CONTINUES
For the first
three months of his campaign, Donald Trump built a wall of invincibility
between himself and fellow Republican candidates. But on Thursday, as the dust
settled from the second presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan presidential
library, one thing became clear--that wall had been torn down. Carly Fiorina emerged as the consensus winner
of the 11-candidate showdown, in no small part because she landed a solid blow
on Trump, shaming him for his disparaging "look at that face"
comment.
On the other
hand, Trump was by far the favorite choice among readers of the influential
Drudge Report after the second GOP presidential debate. By the end of the
event, Trump, who is number one in the Washington Examiner's presidential power
rankings, received 61 percent of votes. At a distant second place with 14
percent was Carly Fiorina. In third were Sens. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, who tied
with 6 percent. The poll is not scientific and visitors to the website can vote
multiple times. Still, it offers some indication of the popularity for the
candidates among a large swath of conservative readers across the country.
Her strong
performance at the second Republican presidential debate has put a new spotlight
on Carly Fiorina’s long-shot bid for the 2016 nomination. Whether she can turn
buzz into momentum, however, hinges on overcoming a set of substantive and
logistical challenges. The day-after, reviews from the conservative commentariat
were ecstatic. “Fiorina deflated front-runner Donald Trump, something no other
Republican contender has managed to do to the bombastic billionaire.”
Ben Carson,
the soft-spoken former neurosurgeon, is running nearly even with Donald Trump,
according to a national poll released Tuesday. In the CBS/New York Times
survey, 27 percent of Republicans surveyed picked Trump for their presidential
choice, and 23 percent chose Carson — within the poll’s 6-point margin of error.
Trump's rally
at the American Airlines Center Monday night boasted the crowd size, the
intensity, the hero worship and level of excitement not seen since Democrats
packed Barack Obama's rallies in 2008 and 2012. It was a new experience for
many Republicans — something essentially unheard of at a GOP event, especially
one so early in the campaign season. Looking around in wonder, one attendee
asked simply, "Well, why shouldn't Republicans have someone to be excited
by?"
Not everyone
is excited: The national conservative
group Club for Growth announced a $1 million ad campaign attacking Donald Trump
in Iowa on Tuesday, marking the most direct and well-funded attempt from within
the Republican Party yet to take down its presidential front-runner.
Bobby
Jindal: “Trump is a madman who must be
stopped…..The problem with Donald Trump is that he will never be president. His
nomination as the Republican candidate would gift the White House to Hillary
Clinton. He would self-destruct in a general election. In fact, he may be
Clinton's only hope. And even if he were somehow to win, we have no idea how he
would govern…….His problem with Washington isn't big government, it's that he's
not running it. He's not liberal, moderate or conservative. He's not Republican
or Democrat. Donald Trump is for Donald Trump. He believes only in himself.”
If
frontrunner Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, one of the biggest
names in the Republican Establishment, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol,
says he “doubts” he would support the Democrat in a general election but would
“support getting someone good on the ballot as a third party candidate.”
Wall Street's
latest panic: Trump could win. With
Bush and Clinton taking their lumps, financial executives face populist critics
in both parties.

“Despite many
people who urge us all to vote, as a civic duty, the purpose of elections is
not participation. The purpose is to select individuals for offices, including
president of the United States. Whoever has that office has our lives, the
lives of our loved ones and the fate of the entire nation in his or her hands. An
election is not a popularity contest, or an award for showmanship. If you want
to fulfill your duty as a citizen, then you need to become an informed voter.
And if you are not informed, then the most patriotic thing you can do on
Election Day is stay home. Otherwise your vote, based on whims or emotions, is
playing Russian roulette with the fate of this nation.”
-Thomas Sowell
“After the
disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, we are entering an era when people alive at
this moment may live to see a day when American cities are left in radioactive
ruins. We need all the wisdom, courage and dedication in the next president —
and his or her successors — to save us and our children from such a
catastrophe. Rhetoric and showmanship will certainly not save us.”
-Thomas Sowell

LEFTIST
WATCH
Planned
Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger once said that PP was founded to produce
"a cleaner race." Here are
more shocking quotes.
President
Obama and his rancid leftist allies have subjected America to a blizzard of
lies. Nothing that leaves his mouth even remotely parrots the truth, but
typically stands truth on its head…..Now the administration wants to use the
refugee resettlement program to import a flood of Syrian immigrants into the
U.S. It will virtually guarantee an opening for ISIS and other terrorists to
establish bases in the U.S. legally with taxpayer dollars. Obama created his
own 9-11 in Benghazi. Apparently that wasn’t enough. Now he wants one here.

ARTICLES
In an effort
to assuage what is perceived to be the fragile sensibilities of
Muslim-Americans, Barack Obama has once again bowed to political correctness by
extending his usual partiality toward an individual based solely on skin color
and religion. This time, the person at the center of the controversy is Ahmed
Mohamed. Ahmed is the 14-year-old Sudanese-American aspiring clockmaker who has
proven to be bright enough to impress his teachers with his engineering prowess
– but apparently not bright enough to know that bringing a homemade digital
clock to school with wires snaking out of it, stored inside a suitcase, isn’t a
good idea.

we break into squads, everyone pursuing the path he thinks most direct, we
become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check.”
