WEEK’S NEWS
The
Federal Bureau of Investigation will recommend that the Justice Department
bring criminal charges against Hillary Clinton and various of her aides, and
soon. The evidence consists of materials that the Bureau has gathered in the
course of its months-long investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s personal server. The
charges will consist of some of the following: 1. Improper disclosure or
retention of classified information. 2. Destruction of government records. 3.
Lying to federal agents. 4. Lying under oath. 5. Obstruction of justice. All
the counts are familiar to those of us who have followed the Clintons for a
quarter of a century,
Bombshell:
In Email, Hillary Ordered Aide to Strip Classified Marking and Send Sensitive
Material
“A
Hillary indictment would ….virtually guarantee a landslide win for any
Republican, Trump included. While I respect DiGenova and Tyrrell, I'm not a
buyer. Obama won't let it happen. He'd rather take the heat from FBI director
Comey's resignation. Nixon fired Archibald
Cox, and Obama can fire anybody who wants to indict Hillary.
Donald
Trump says the nuclear deal with Iran is so bad, he is close to wondering
whether it was done poorly on purpose. “It’s almost like there has to be
something else going on,”
Nearly
20 percent of likely Democratic voters say they'd cross sides and vote for
Trump, while a small number, or 14 percent, of Republicans claim they'd vote
for Clinton.

Islam Set To Become The Second-Largest Religion In America By 2040.

1964, one way of determining the growth of second and third generation Muslims,
according to a leading immigration watchdog.

COLUMN
OF THE WEEK
Obama’s
Pass from the Press 1/6
Noemie
Emery
Sometime
in the spring of 2007, something strange happened to the Iraqi coverage in the
national media — it disappeared. Or rather, as soon as the news ceased to be
bad, the media lost interest in covering it. It was not till July, when Michael
O'Hanlon reported back from the front that the surge had been working, that the
world started to realize what happened. To them, the fact that George W. Bush
had succeeded in something was what the press couldn't bear to believe.
Something
of the sort is happening now in reverse regarding the current Middle East
crises, which make Iraq in 2006 seem calm in comparison. This time the press,
which can no longer deny that the world has been going to hell since Barack
Obama started unleashing his peacemaking powers, is doing its best to insulate
him completely from any possible blame for it all. Where Bush was asked every
day if he regretted invading Iraq, Obama is never asked if he thinks leaving
Iraq had something to do with the chaos engulfing the region, or the
vulnerability of citizens here and in Europe to Islamic State-inspired attacks.
And
while Bush was held responsible for every last casualty that occurred anywhere
while he held office, Obama is absolved from responsibility for the massacres,
rapes and enslavement of innocents that have followed his numerous foreign
policy blunders — given a pass as the victim of forces he did not enable and
disasters he didn't create.
"Be
very glad we don't have a Republican president," Walter Russell Mead told
us in May of last year, warning that if such were so we would be enduring a
"merciless media pounding" on the series of "failures, mistakes,
and false starts" that have been our lot since Obama took office. Instead,
we have a Democrat who is allowed by the press to fail quietly, discreetly, and
off center stage. Thus, into a second year of beheadings and horror, we see
headlines like "Attacks Don't Shake President's Faith in Patient
Strategy" (Washington Post); "Speech Was a Plea for Patience and
National Unity" (New York Times); and "Obama Addresses a Shifting
Landscape," (Washington Post), suggesting support for a put-upon leader
facing conditions he never expected to meet.
"His
decision to speak on the terrorist threat … days after the deadly attack in San
Bernardino…reflects a broad concern in the White House that Americans …
distracted by the overheated cacophony of the campaign season, are not
listening to him," wrote Greg Jaffe, as if that were the problem. "A
Rational President in the Age of Anxiety" ran a column by David Ignatius,
ignoring the fact that the anxiety was the result of the irrational acts on the
part of the president. Was it rational to withdraw from Iraq, against the
warnings of all of his generals? Rational to lay down red lines, which were
always crossed over? Rational to diss Israel and our Arab allies, while handing
the store to Iran?
When
Bush ducked a shoe thrown at him by an Iraqi during a press conference in 2008,
Eleanor Clift said that he might have deserved it for what he had done to that
country by starting the war. By those standards, by letting the war start again
after Bush ended it, what Obama deserves from Iraq (and from most of the rest
of that suffering region) is a volley of combat boots. But none will be flung
by the press of his country, in whose eyes he can do nothing wrong.

Myth
of the ‘Moderate Muslim’
An

BRITAIN'S
newest political movement which has vowed to fight the "Islamification of
the West" has marked its official launch today by announcing its first
major rally. The walk is being organised in conjunction with PEGIDA branches
across Europe and is centred on the theme "Save Our Country, Save Our
Culture, Save Our Future".

Hollywood
Gets Benghazi Right "This is a true story." Those words appear
onscreen to open 13 Hours, the major motion picture about Benghazi, in theaters
on January 15. And with them, director Michael Bay announced that he is taking
sides in the long-running debate over the attacks there on September 11, 2012.
For three years, the White House and its defenders in the media have
characterized the Libya raids as a tragedy, a series of unfortunate events that
were utterly unpreventable and for which no one is much to blame. Many of those
who were on the ground in Libya, CIA contractors and diplomats alike,

Newt
Gingrich: “Understanding Donald Trump”
A
quick run-down of Donald Trump´s positions
Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia said Saturday the idea of religious neutrality is
not grounded in the country´s constitutional traditions and that God has been
good to the U.S. exactly because Americans honor him. Scalia was speaking at a
Catholic high school in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, Louisiana. Scalia,
who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 is the court´s longest
serving justice.
From
Whitewater to Benghazi: A Clinton Scandal Primer
Noonan: “Mr. Trump’s supporters don’t care if he’s
classically conservative. Doctrinal purity is not the story this year. The GOP
base is a big jumble. Democrats are likely less unified than they think……A new
playbook is emerging while some contenders seem to be reading from the old
playbook and wondering why the plays they’re calling aren’t working. Mr. Trump
touched an important nerve in opposing the political correctness that has
angered the American people for a quarter century. He changed the debate when
he asked for a pause in Muslim immigration until America “can figure out what’s
going on.” In the age of terror, that looked suspiciously like common sense.
Americans do not want America to become what Europe is becoming……..It reflects
badly on the party that Donald Trump—whom one journalist this week
characterized as a guy running around with his hair on fire—had to become the
party’s 2016 thought leader.”
