Dumb on Purpose Kerry: Iranian Leaders Chanting “Death To America” Doesn’t Mean They Want To Kill Us
Kerry: Iranian Leaders Chanting “Death To America” Doesn’t Mean They Want To Kill Us
In his testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to sell the U.S. administration’s deal between Iran and the world’s superpowers, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was pointedly asked, “Is it the policy of the ayatollah, if you can answer for him, that Iran wants to destroy the United States?”
The question, posed by Congressman Lloyd “Ted” Poe (R-Texas) was a reference to the many times the leaders of the Iranian regime have threatened to annihilate the United States.
In response, Kerry said, “I don’t believe they’ve said that. I think they’ve said ‘Death to America,’ in their chants, but I have not seen this specific.”
Poe countered, “Well, I kind of take that to mean that they want us dead. That would seem like that would be their policy. He said that. You don’t think that’s their policy? I’m not mincing words. Do you think it’s their policy to destroy us?”
“I think they have a policy of opposition to us and a great enmity, but I have no specific knowledge of a plan by Iran to actually destroy us,” Kerry answered.

Obama Prepared to Go ‘Beyond What’s Allowed By Law’ to Push Iran Deal Through
Obama Prepared to Go ‘Beyond What’s Allowed By Law’ to Push Iran Deal Through
Following a White House meeting, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) seemingly suggested this week that President Barack Obama might be prepared to go “beyond what’s allowed by law” to push through the Iran nuclear deal.
The Hill reported Wednesday that Sherman said Obama appeared ready to ignore Congress if members don’t sign off on the deal. The comments came after the president invited top Democrats to the White House to give them a personal presentation on the Iran deal.
“The main meat of what he said is, ‘If Congress overrides my veto, you do not get a U.S. foreign policy that reflects that vote. What you get is you pass this law and I, as president, will do everything possible to go in the other direction,’” Sherman said, according to The Hill.
“He’s with the deal — he’s not with Congress,” the California congressman added. “At least to the fullest extent allowed by law, and possibly beyond what’s allowed by law.”
According to The Hill, Sherman suggested Obama may just refuse to enforce the law.
Sherman, who has appeared skeptical of the deal, previously grilled Secretary of State John Kerry about whether the administration would follow the “law” if Congress moved to override a veto to block the deal.
At the time, Kerry ducked the question, saying he was “not going to deal with a hypothetical.”

It would not surprise me at all if Obama does this, he hates anyone that tells him he cannot do something.

Good!!! Florida Gov. Rick Scott Orders Inspections of Planned Parenthood Offices
Florida Gov. Rick Scott Orders Inspections of Planned Parenthood Offices
Florida Gov. Rick Scott ordered state health officials to inspect Planned Parenthood offices that perform abortions, saying he is troubled by videos describing the organization's procedures for providing tissue from aborted fetuses for research.
The Republican governor said Wednesday the state will take quick legal and regulatory action if any of the 16 facilities in Florida are found in violation of the law.
"The videos coming out about Planned Parenthood are deeply troubling to say the least. It is against the law for any organization to sell body parts," Scott said in a statement.
Planned Parenthood has come under congressional scrutiny after the release of two stealthily recorded videos that showed officials discussing how they provide aborted fetal organs for research. Abortion opponents say the videos show the organization is illegally harvesting and selling organs.

I am so glad Gov. Scott is doing this.

Trump Attacks Perry AGAIN Check Out Perry's Response~ LOL
Donald Trump said Rick Perry doesn't belong on the debate stage with him next week in Cleveland
In an interview at his Trump Tower headquarters, the billionaire questioned the former Texas governor's 'energy,' 'brainpower' and 'toughness'
Perry, finishing a speech a few hours later, responded to The Donald'Let's get a pull-up bar out there and see who can do more pull-ups!' he said
Trump, 69, questioned during a morning interview in his Trump Tower office whether Perry should be included in the August 6 GOP primary debate, and said he lacks the 'energy,' the 'brainpower' and the 'toughness' to run a successful presidential campaign.
Asked a few hours later following a speech what he would tell Trump if he had heard the dismissive comments in person, the 65-year-old Perry shot back a physical challenge to The Donald,.
'Let's get a pull-up bar out there and see who can do more pull-ups,' he said as an audience at the Yale Club of New York roared.
Trump, though, was serious about showing Perry the back of his hand.
'I don't think he belongs on the stage,' Trump told DailyMail.com, speaking of the GOP debate next week in Cleveland. It's about energy, it's about brainpower, it's about toughness.'
Wild Thing's comment............
LOL Trump's ego bigger then his abilities. Trump is an out of shape golfer. Keep in mind Rick Perry works out, Gov. Perry's house "features a pull-up bar for his daily workouts," Plus Perry is a jogger and has been known to jog 17 miles per week.
Remember this story from 2010, Perry made national news when he killed a coyote during a jog in Texas. He said the coyote was threatening his daughters' Labrador retriever.
"Don't attack my dog or you might get shot … if you're a coyote," he told reporters.
Love that story!!!

Los Angeles lawmakers vote to ban large-capacity ammunition magazines, report says
Los Angeles lawmakers vote to ban large-capacity ammunition magazines, report says
Los Angeles lawmakers reportedly voted unanimously on Tuesday to ban the possession of large-capacity ammunition magazines.
The decision by the Los Angeles City Council has thrust the spotlight on the city in the midst of a heated national gun debate. Juliet Leftwich, legal director for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence told the Los Angeles Times that such magazines have been “the common threat” in nearly all mass shootings that have plagued the U.S. Supports of the ban say it’s a small step to stop the bloodshed in the city.
The National Rifle Association and other gun rights group argue the law violates the second amendment and have threatened to sue the city.
Councilman Paul Krekorian said defiantly before a cheering crowd in front of City Hall: “If the NRA wants to sue us over this, bring it on.”
An eager Mayor Eric Garcetti is ready to sign the measure that passed 12-0 with three council members absent in the voting. However, some gun control activists weren’t happy to hear about a proposal to exempt retired police officers from the rules.
California law already bans manufacturing large-capacity magazines, as well as offering them for sale or bringing them into the state, according to the newspaper. However, the law doesn’t ban people from possessing them. Krekorian says that “loophole” jeopardizes public safety.
Los Angeles officials first sought to draft the bill two years ago and were pressed to move forward by gun control activists. Among them were Ruett and Rhonda Foster whose 7-year-old son was killed in a barrage of bullets fired at a local park.
On the other side, gun rights groups say the law violates the right for citizens to protect themselves. One official argues it puts citizens in danger.
Anna M. Barvir, an attorney with Michel & Associates, which represents the NRA and the California Rifle and Pistol Association said such magazines that hold more than 10 rounds “are in common use for self-defense and they are overwhelmingly chosen for that purpose.”
“I don’t think it’s going to have any effect on gun violence,” said Chad Cheung, the director of CalGuns Shooting Sports Association, at Tuesday’s hearing. Cheung argued that the ruling wouldn’t matter because neighboring cities such as Burbank and Glendale could still possess the magazines.
The measure give Los Angeles residents who own such magazines 60 days to remove, surrender or legally sell or transfer them after the law goes into effect. Breaking the law would result in a misdemeanor.
The Los Angeles Times reports the rules exempt police and military gun owners, licenses firearm dealers and people who obtained guns before January 1, 2000. Another proposal to include retired police officers in the list will be debated next week, according to the newspaper.

The left busy at work messing with wrong things. They would not blame the bad guys no matter what, instead it is the gun or bullets that are the criminals.

Kerry Lies to Congress About Iran Deal & ‘Additional Protocol’
Kerry Lies to Congress About Iran Deal & ‘Additional Protocol’
Secretary of State John Kerry misled the House Foreign Affairs Committee in his attempt to defend the Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday, claiming in his opening statement that Iran had complied with the interim agreement “completely and totally,” and that Iran was “required” by the deal to ratify a key agreement that would prevent it from developing dangerous nuclear technologies in the future.
In fact, Iran violated parts of the interim agreement, and there is no guarantee that it will ratify the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Iran failed to comply with a condition of the interim Joint Plan of Action that required it to convert excess amounts of low-enriched uranium hexafluoride into uranium dioxide. Experts at the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) concluded that Iran had only met 9 percent of what was expected.
The State Department tried to spin that violation. As the ISIS experts noted: “When it became clear that Iran could not meet its commitment to convert the LEU into uranium dioxide, the United States revised its criteria for Iran meeting its obligations.”

Classless Trump Lawyer Michael Cohen Threatened Liberal News Site With for ‘Rape’ Story
A lawyer for Donald Trump threatened a reporter with what he described would amount to a “f***ing disgusting” consequence if the journalist published a story about sexual assault accusations reportedly once made by the Republican hopeful’s ex-wife.
“You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet … you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it,” Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump, told The Daily Beast reporter Tim Mak.
Cohen was referring to accusations Ivana Trump reportedly made about a 1989 incident. During a deposition, reported on in 1993 book “Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump,” Ivana alleged that Donald became upset after a painful surgery to remove a bald spot and confronted her because she had previously used the same surgeon.
Claiming “your f***ing doctor has ruined me,” Trump violently sexually assaulted Ivana, she reportedly said during the deposition. Trump has denied the accusation.
Asked about the deposition Monday, Cohen told the liberal-leaning news outlet that “it’s not the word you’re trying to make it into.” He added that Ivana “felt raped emotionally…she was not referring to it [as] a criminal matter, and not in its literal sense, though there’s many literal senses to the word.”
“You cannot rape your spouse,” Cohen continued. “There’s very clear case law.”
Trump’s lawyer then threatened Mak if he were to publish the story.
“I will make sure that you and I meet one day while we’re in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still don’t have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,” Cohen said. “So I’m warning you, tread very f****ing lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f***ing disgusting. You understand me?”
He added to The Daily Beast, “There is nothing reasonable about you wanting to write a story about somebody’s usage of the word ‘rape,’ when she’s talking [about] she didn’t feel emotionally satisfied.”
“Though there’s many literal senses to the word, if you distort it, and you put Mr. Trump’s name there onto it, rest assured, you will suffer the consequences. So you do whatever you want. You want to ruin your life at the age of 20? You do that, and I’ll be happy to serve it right up to you,” he continued.
“I think you should go ahead and you should write the story that you plan on writing. I think you should do it. Because I think you’re an idiot. And I think your paper’s a joke, and it’s going to be my absolute pleasure to serve you with a $500 million lawsuit, like I told [you] I did it to Univision,” Cohen added.
ABC: Michael Cohen "is a registered Democrat who voted for Barack Obama in 2008."
Wild Thing's comment.............
Sorry to those that want Trump, but choosing Trump is just as stupid as choosing Obama. We know what happens when we elect based on “cool” and this is not cool. Yes this is an old story and said by an angry wife in a divorce but rape is still rape even if married to the person so this lawyer is wrong.
Plus one other thing, I would hate to have this lawyer in our WH, we already experiences what it is like to have Eric Holder and his threats to we the people. Remember when the Black Panthers threatened votes and it was pushed aside by Obama's lawyers. It would be the same kind of pushing us aside if we had a complaint about Trump if he got elected.
I think Trump will implode…He already is, he may be high in the polls of Trump fans wanting him for president, but the other polls asking do you like him as a person he is also at the top of NOT liking him. So that is important to know too.

Hillary Clinton Dodges Keystone Pipeline Question
Hillary Clinton Dodges Keystone Pipeline Question
During an Iowa speech on climate change Monday, Clinton refused to weigh in on the project. She argued that because she served as President Obama’s secretary of State when the pipeline was under consideration, it would be inappropriate for her to comment.
“No other presidential candidate was secretary of state when this process started, and I put together a very thorough, deliberative, evidence-based process to evaluate the environmental impact and other considerations of Keystone,” Clinton said at the Des Moines event.
“So I will refrain from commenting, because I had a leading role in getting that process started, and I think that we have to let it run its course,” she continued.
Clinton’s comments are likely to further infuriate environmentalists, who have criticized her for years for avoiding the project’s controversy and declining to weigh in on oil drilling, hydraulic fracturing or other environmental measures.

Obama Gives Turkey Green Light to Bomb Former US Soldiers and Marines that are fighting along side the Kurds
Obama Gives Turkey Green Light to Bomb Former US Soldiers Fighting ISIS
Forty to fifty Americans are fighting with Kurdish forces against ISIS–
Retired US Marine Jordan Matson joined the YPG Kurdish fighters to fight ISIS in September 2014.
Jordan told Greta Van Susteren in February that there are 40-50 Americans fighting with Kurdish forces against ISIS.
He also said the Kurds are very hospitable to Christians and Yazidis.
British ex-soldiers are also fighting with Kurdish forces against the Islamic State.
This week Obama gave a green light to Turkey to bomb the Kurds.
Turkish jets struck camps belonging to Kurdish militants in northern Iraq this weekend. This was Turkey’s first strike on the Kurds since a 2013 peace deal.
Americans and British soldiers are fighting with Kurds against ISIS.
The charade began when Americans got excited when Turkish warplanes directly began to target ISIS locations early Saturday for a second straight day. But then all of the sudden, Turkey switched plans and opened a second front, not on ISIS, but against the PKK Kurdish rebel sites that were fighting ISIS.
The Turkish jets then hit shelters and storage facilities belonging to the PKK in seven areas in northern Iraq, including Mount Quandil where there are no ISIS and is where the PKK’s headquarters are located. Even the Turkish media outlets were more enthusiastic about the Turkish air force’s bombing the Kurdish militia than about bombing ISIS. “The camps of the PKK,” they excitedly reported, “have been covered with fire.”
All this unravelled two days after Obama spoke with Erodgan of Turkey by phone regarding attacks on ISIS and the Kurds.
This makes the situation quite fishy, especially that Obama and Erdogan had a phone conversation on the 22nd of July prior to the attacks on the 24th where Turkey got the green light from Obama. Erdogan himself clearly stated: “In our phone call with Obama, we reiterated our determination in the struggle against the separatist organization and the Islamic State” Erdogan told reporters adding that “we took the first step last night.”
“…reiterated our determination in the struggle against the separatist organization …”?
This would be the Kurds, the U.S. allies against ISIS whom Erdogan says that Obama is determined to struggle against. The Kurdish PKK and the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its armed wing, Kurdish People’s Defense Units (YPG) has been America’s most effective battlefield partners against ISIS and Obama says nothing?

Louis Farrakhan: ‘We Need to Put the American Flag Down’
Louis Farrakhan: ‘We Need to Put the American Flag Down’
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan expressed contempt for the American flag Wednesday, telling hundreds gathered in a D.C. church that it is a symbol of racism and needs to be brought down.
The controversial figure spoke at the Metropolitan AME Church, just one week after a white male shot and killed nine individuals at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina.
“White folks march with you because they don’t want you upset in the city,” Farrakhan said during his speech, a portion which was published online by WMAL. “They don’t give a damn about them nine. When they arrested that skunk …. they took him to the Burger King.”
“Man just killed nine human beings, and you know what they were saying? ‘You did a good job. Kill all them n******!’” he added.
Farrakhan then took aim at the American flag.
“I don’t know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag! We need to put the American flag down because we’ve caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag!” he said.
“Who are we fighting today? It’s the people that carry the American flag,” Farrakhan continued. “What flag do the police have? What flag flies over the non-Justice Department? What flag flies over the White House?”
The Nation of Islam leader said that taking the Confederate flag is “easy,” but not enough.
On Tuesday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh made a prediction that the American flag would “come under assault” after the Confederate flag. At the time he said, “Do not doubt me.”

There’s a Very ‘Special’ Story Behind the ‘Come and Take It’ Flag That Now Hangs in Marcus Luttrell’s Office
There’s a Very ‘Special’ Story Behind the ‘Come and Take It’ Flag That Now Hangs in Marcus Luttrell’s Office
On the wall of legendary Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell’s new office hangs his wife’s wedding dress. The fascinating story of how it got there is the subject of Friday night’s episode of “The Junk Gypsies,” which airs on the Great American Country channel.
Last fall, Luttrell’s wife, Melanie, asked the ladies if they could create an office-slash-study for her husband in the family’s new home. But they would have to do it in secret to surprise him.
The TV show typically spotlights celebrity weddings and makeover of airstream trailers for rock stars like Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and county star Miranda Lambert. The show’s hosts, Amie and Jolie Sikes freely admitted that designing an office for a retired Navy SEAL was a different type of challenge.
“We’ve been asked to do a lot of projects in the past. From celebrity weddings to tour buses. But, this is for somebody who is a national hero,” said Amie Sikes.
In an interview with TheBlaze, the Sikes sisters shared the story of meeting Luttrell and his wife when they stopped by the tiny town of Round Top, Texas, last October and visited the headquarters of the Junk Gypsies. The Luttrells and the Sikes family became fast friends.
Late last year, Melanie talked with Amie and Jolie about her hopes for her husband’s office, telling the women, “Marcus honors his brothers really well. But, I don’t necessarily want it to be a memorial…I want it to have a good feeling.”
The ladies told TheBlaze, they wanted the room to reflect all of Marcus Luttrell.
“You know, he’s a husband, a father, and a brother and a son and he’s a devout Texas and a family man and a rider…and we wanted to pay respect to that,” Amie Sikes said, later admitting the task was a daunting one. “We’ve literally been asked to do the most manliest ‘man room of all men’ — and they have asked the Junk Gypsies to do his study.”
One of the more special moments of the program poignantly connects Lutrell’s love for his wife and his love for the state of Texas. Melanie Luttrell reportedly told the women, “His favorite symbol is the ‘Come and Take It’ flag.”
Amie and Jolie Sikes researched the flag. They discovered something quite profound. Amie told TheBlaze, “The night before the first battle (of the Texas revolution), the women made that flag out of their wedding dresses.”
When the gypsies spoke with Melanie Luttrell about recreating the “Come and Take It” flag, and highlighted the history of the wedding dresses, Melanie offered her own wedding dress for the project. You can see the flag, made from Melanie’s wedding dress, in the top left corner of the photo below:
After seeing the flag and hearing the story, Luttrell told the ladies, “I can’t think of anything more special…I can’t believe you all did that for me.”
Watch a preview of the segment courtesy of Great American Country and the Junk Gypsies:

Just like Obama is with FOX News, Trump Bans Des Moines Register Cranks from Saturday Event After Nasty Editorial
Trump Bans Des Moines Register Cranks from Saturday Event After Nasty Editorial
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has denied The Des Moines Register press credentials to gain access to a candidate event scheduled for Saturday in Oskaloosa.
The reason: an editorial published by the newspaper last Tuesday calling on Trump to quit the Republican race.
Register political columnist Kathie Obradovich was informed Friday that she had been denied a credential to the event, a “family picnic” featuring Trump that will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday at the George Daily Community Auditorium in Oskaloosa.
Trump’s national campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, told Obradovich in a phone call that the Register was being excluded from the event because of the editorial.
The Register’s editorial board operates independently from the editors and reporters who conduct political coverage.
In a subsequent conversation with the Register’s chief political reporter, Jennifer Jacobs, Lewandowski reiterated that news staffers were being denied access because of the editorial.
“We’re not issuing credentials to anyone from The Des Moines Register based on the editorial that they wrote earlier in the week,” he said.
Lewandowski said he expected the campaign would consider allowing the Register to attend events at some point in the future.
Wild Thing's comment............
Trump behaves exactly like Obama. Obama attacks FOX news, tells people not to watch it etc. Trump bans a newspaper because it does not support him.

Jindal Suspends POTUS Campaign After Theater Shooting
Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has suspended his presidential campaign and will stay in Louisiana as the state deals with the aftermath of Thursday night’s tragic movie theater shooting.
“We are going to do whatever we can to support our community; this is a time for us to come together,” Jindal said Friday morning on “Fox and Friends,” where he confirmed his campaign’s suspension.
“It was an awful, awful night for our community.”
The presidential hopeful did not expand on how long his campaign will be suspended, and his campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.
“This could have happened anywhere, and one of the things you hear over and over is why here. You never want this to happen anywhere but you would never imagine it would happen in Louisiana,” he said. He added that he’s heard “amazing stories of heroism” from law enforcement who ran into the theater to confront the shooter.

ISIS Netted Up To $1B in Cash After Taking Over Mosul
ISIS Netted Up To $1B in Cash After Taking Over Mosul
ISIS is also taking in $40 million a month in oil revenues alone, while ISIS fighters are paid $1000 a month.
ISIS netted between $500 million and $1 billion in cash when it took over Iraq’s second largest city in 2014, a top Obama administration official said Thursday.
Daniel Glaser, the U.S. Treasury’s assistant secretary for terror financing, told participants at the Aspen Security Forum that when ISIS swept through the city of Mosul in northern Iraq, it took the reserves of over 90 banks, estimated to be between $500 million and $1 billion.
The northern Iraqi city has been occupied by ISIS since June 2014 and is considered to be its main stronghold in the region.
Glaser also said that the May raid that killed Abu Sayyaf, a key ISIS leader in charge of the group’s oil and gas operations in eastern Syria, was a “treasure trove” of information on ISIS financing, giving new insight into the enormous financial operation propelling the terror group.

Traitor Bowe Bergdahl Picked Up In Pot Raid In California - why is he out?!
Bowe Bergdahl Picked Up In Pot Raid In California
Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier who was released in a prisoner exchange in Afghanistan for five Taliban detainees, wound up in the middle of a pot raid earlier this week in northern California.
Captian Greg Van Patten with the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Thursday that the county’s marijuana eradication team encountered Bergdahl on Tuesday while serving a search warrant on a home in Redwood City, Calif.
Van Patten said Bergdahl was detained, but ultimately was “determined not to be connected to the operation, at least there was no evidence to suggest he was involved.”
When Bergdahl encountered the law enforcement team, Van Patten said he identified himself while the sheriff’s office reached out to the Department of Defense. The agency confirmed Bergdahl was on leave, and asked for their assistance in getting him back.
Sheriff’s office personnel later drove Bergdahl “to a halfway point,” where he met up with army representatives.

Kerry Says ‘Nobody Has Ever Talked About Dismantling’ Iran’s Nuclear Program, But in 2013 Insisted Dismantlement Was The ‘Whole Point’ of Sanctions Regime
Kerry Says ‘Nobody Has Ever Talked About Dismantling’ Iran’s Nuclear Program, But in 2013 Insisted Dismantlement Was The ‘Whole Point’ of Sanctions Regime
Kerry in 2013: 'We knew that it would hopefully help Iran dismantle its nuclear program'
During Thursday’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the Iran nuclear agreement, Secretary of State John Kerry said the goal of the negotiations was never to dismantle Iran’s entire nuclear program but rather to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons, despite saying in 2013 the “whole point” of sanctions was to get Iran to “dismantle its nuclear program.”
“When we began our negotiations, Iran had enough fissile material for 10 to 12 bombs. They had 19,000 centrifuges, up from the 163 that they had back in 2003 when the prior administration was engaged in them on this very topic,” Kerry said Thursday. “So this isn’t a question of giving them what they want. It’s a question of how do you hold their program back. How do you dismantle their weapons program? Not their whole program.
“Let’s understand what was really on the table here. We set out to dismantle their ability to be able to build a nuclear weapon, and we’ve achieved that. Nobody has ever talked about actually dismantling their entire program, because when that was being talked about, that’s when they went from 163 centrifuges to 19,000.”
In 2013, while testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Kerry said the purpose of the sanctions against the rogue regime was to “help Iran dismantle its nuclear program.”
“I don’t think any of us thought we were just imposing these sanctions for the sake of imposing them,” he said. “We did because we knew that it would hopefully help Iran dismantle its nuclear program. That was the whole point of the regime.”

At Least 6 People Shot At Louisiana Movie Theater, Gunman Dead
At Least 6 People Shot At Louisiana Movie Theater, Gunman Dead
A gunman opened fire on Thursday at a movie theater in Lafayette, Louisiana, wounding six people, before he took his own life, USA Today reported, citing police.
Lafayette police could not immediately be reached for comment but said in a tweet that they were “working a shooting at the Grand Theater on Johnston Street” and that it involved multiple victims.
The local Advertiser newspaper reported that the gunfire broke out during a 7 p.m. showing of the film “Train Wreck.”
Witness Katie Domingue told the paper that the gunman was an older white man who stood up in the theater and began shooting.
“He wasn’t saying anything. I didn’t hear anybody screaming either,” Domingue said.
“Prayers for Lafayette at Grand Theater. Talking to state police colonel about shooting in Lafayette,” Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said in a tweet.
Lafayette is a city of some 120,000 people located roughly 55 miles (90 km) southwest of Baton Rouge.

Allen West Explodes Over Iran Deal During Fiery and Emotional Times Square Speech
Allen West Explodes Over Iran Deal During Fiery and Emotional Times Square Speech
Allen West absolutely exploded over the Iran nuclear deal during a fiery speech at a “Stop Iran Deal Rally” in New York City’s Times Square on Wednesday. The Republican strongly criticized President Barack Obama’s leadership on the issue, calling him a “weakling” and “charlatan.”
West asked the crowd of thousands “what message” the United States is sending by negotiating with the “number one state sponsor of terrorism” and a country that is holding “four Americans hostage.”
“No different than the last time we had a weakling in the White House when we had 52 Americans being held hostage,” he added, referring to the Iranian hostage crisis during the Jimmy Carter administration.
Later in his fiery speech, West accused Obama and other administration officials of “surrendering” to the Republic of Iran.
“I want President Obama to know one thing,” West said. “You may say that you have done something that no one else has done. You know why no one else has done it? Because it’s a damn stupid thing you just did.”
He continued: “If people are upset because of what I’m saying, I really don’t care. Because I had a father that stood at World War II…I gave 22 years of my life to make sure that that great beacon of liberty, freedom and democracy continues to stand. And I have a nephew, I have friends that are still serving on the front lines — and my commitment is to the oath that I took on 31, July, 1982, to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Organizers estimated roughly 10,000 people attended the rally on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.

Obama and his admin. Plan More Executive Action on Immigration
The Obama administration is moving forward with plans to expand a waiver program that will allow additional illegal aliens to remain in the country rather than apply for legal status from abroad.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a proposed rule on Tuesday that would make changes to a waiver program created by President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration in 2013.
The new rule expands eligibility to a host of other categories of illegal immigrants beyond those with citizen spouses and parents.

LOL Security breach? Kenyan airline official leaks Obama's exact itinerary
Security breach? Kenyan airline official leaks Obama's exact itinerary
In a stunning breach of protocol, the national airline of Kenya, where President Obama will visit later this week, published the arrival and departure times of Air Force One, prompting scrambling by White House security officials.
A Kenyan Airways official sent an e-mail blast with the expected time of arrival and departure of the presidential plane in Nairobi, even though it’s standard White House practice never to publish the 40- to 50-minute window during which Air Force One is scheduled to land or take off. And safeguards are enhanced when the president visits a location which could pose added danger, as is the case in Kenya, where the State Department has issued a travel alert and warned that the summit on entrepreneurship Obama is attending is a likely terrorist target.
“Jomo Kenyatta and Wilson will be closed as follows,” reads an e-mail marked "high" importance and originally sent July 13 by a Kenyan aviation official to a wide range of aviation officials who work in and around the nation's two major airports. The missive went on to give dates and times for the airports’ closure, which Fox News will not disclose, and states: “This corresponds to the expected arrival and departure time for President Obama.”
The Secret Service, when contacted by Fox News, said it would have no comment.
Airports and airspace around them typically close prior to Air Force One's arrival and remain on lock down until his motorcade departs.
Kenya has been the scene of several attacks by Somali-based Muslim terrorist group Al Shabaab since September 2013, when the terrorist group struck Nairobi's Westgate mall and killed 67 people. The mall only reopened this week after nearly two years of reconstruction. Kenya was also was the site of a surface-to-air missile attack on an Israeli airliner in 2002. Two shoulder-fired missiles missed the plane, in an attack for which Al Qaeda claimed credit. Al-Shabaab is widely believed to have surface-to-air missiles.
The original email was blasted out to airline customers, "all operators" of both of Nairobi’s airports, including staff, aircraft operators and even flight schools at the general aviation Nairobi Wilson field. But making matters worse, earlier this week a Johannesburg travel agent sent out an email with the sensitive text pasted in to all its customers with the subject line: "Info on Obama visit to Kenya."
The State Department's terror alert stated, "there is the opportunity for criminal elements to target participants and other visitors. Large-scale public events such as this Summit can also be a terror target.”
Even within the last month, Al Shabaab has been active in Kenya, although its efforts have been largely in the northeast, near the Somali border. The Kenyan government has been spending millions of dollars sprucing up the roads and pavements of Nairobi ahead of Obama’s visit. Kenyans have dubbed the clean-up “Obamacare.”

Obama's Pentagon Tells Military Recruiters ‘No Guns’ Allowed at Centers – “CLOSE THE BLINDS” for Protection
Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters – Tells Them to “Close the Blinds”
Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno said on Friday he has no plans to arm recruiters or add security patrols to military recruitment centers in the wake of the Islamist terror attacks on unarmed, unguarded military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday. Odierno basically said he doesn’t trust his troops to handle their weapons properly.
Also on Friday, the Marine Corps ordered recruiters to not wear their uniforms at work for ‘force protection.’
Today the Pentagon added this–
Military recruiters are being told to “close the blinds” for added safety.
Gretchen Carlson reported:
We have just confirmed here at FOX from the Pentagon, that the head of the US Northern Command has now issued a directive to authorize recruiters not to be able to carry weapons at the centers but he wants them to implement new security measures like “closing the blinds at the office.”

Cuban Flag Goes Up at State Department on Monday
The State Department will hang the Cuban flag in the lobby of the State Department building on Monday in recognition of the imminent reopening of the communist nation’s embassy in Washington. The AP’s Matt Lee reports:

President Eisenhower had the Cuban embassy closed in January 1961 and severed diplomatic relations with the communist government of Fidel Castro. President Obama announced in December 2014 that he is setting a “new course” with Cuba. The reopening of the embassy is just the latest step in that new course.
Meanwhile, 70 dissidents were rounded up today by the still oppressive Communist

Obama Pushes To Disarm Some Social Security Beneficiaries
Obama Pushes To Disarm Some Social Security Beneficiaries
Obama pushes to extend gun background checks to Social Security
Seeking tighter controls over firearm purchases, the Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move that could affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others.
The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others.
A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to manage their own affairs due to “marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease.”
There is no simple way to identify that group, but a strategy used by the Department of Veterans Affairs since the creation of the background check system is reporting anyone who has been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary.
If Social Security, which has never participated in the background check system, uses the same standard as the VA, millions of its beneficiaries would be affected. About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees.”[…]
“Someone can be incapable of managing their funds but not be dangerous, violent or unsafe,” said Dr. Marc Rosen, a Yale psychiatrist who has studied how veterans with mental health problems manage their money. “They are very different determinations.”
Steven Overman, a 30-year-old Marine Corps veteran who lives in Virginia, said his case demonstrates the flaws of judging gun safety through financial competence.
After his Humvee hit a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2007, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and a brain injury that weakened his memory and cognitive ability.
The VA eventually deemed him 100% disabled and after reviewing his case in 2012 declared him incompetent, making his wife his fiduciary.
Upon being notified that he was being reported to the background check system, he gave his guns to his mother and began working with a lawyer to get them back.
Overman grew up hunting in Wisconsin. After his return from Iraq, he found solace in target shooting. “It’s relaxing to me,” he said. “It’s a break from day-to-day life. It calms me down.”
Though his wife had managed their financial affairs since his deployment, Overman said he has never felt like he was a danger to himself or others.
“I didn’t know the VA could take away your guns,” he said.

Florida Gov. Scott Orders National Guard Recruiters to Military Armories
Florida Governor Rick Scott ordered all National Guard recruiters to operate from state armories following the Chattanooga terrorist attack this week.
In an executive order, the Republican governor said he wants recruiters to move from six storefront locations into armories until state officials can evaluate and make security improvements, including possibly installing bullet-proof glass or enhanced surveillance equipment.
Since the Tennessee shootings, security at recruiting centers has come under scrutiny. Military officials have said security at recruiting and reserve centers will be reviewed, but the Army’s top officer, Gen. Ray Odierno, said it’s too early to say whether the facilities should have security guards or other increased protection.
Gov. Rick Scott issued an executive order Saturday instructing the Florida Major General to take immediate actions to secure Florida Guardsmen that work in recruiting centers in the wake of the Tennessee shooting where five military members were murdered.
The governor’s executive order directs Florida Major General Michael Calhoun to take three immediate actions:
– Relocate all Florida National Guard personnel at the state’s six storefront recruitment centers to the nearest Florida National Guard Armory until there are recommendations made to improve the security of store-front recruitment centers.
– Begin discussions with local law enforcement agencies to arrange regular security checks for Florida National Guard Armories.
– Ensure that all qualified full-time guardsmen are adequately armed for their personal protection.

You can have a laugh if you like or realize how bad it is when a so called Republican has these kind of things a democrat like Sharpton can bring up.
It is not the same thing as when Reagan has been a democrat and then changed because he woke up to what the dems were about. This is different. These are not old statements by Trump, they are recent.
For someone of low character like Sharpton to be pointing these things out is not good.

BREAKING: Obama Released TOP IRANIAN SCIENTIST as Part of Nuke Deal; Left Americans to Rot in Hell
Mojtaba Atarodi, arrested in California for attempting to acquire equipment for Iran’s military-nuclear programs, was released in April as part of back channel talks, Times of Israel told. The contacts, mediated in Oman for years by close colleague of the Sultan, have seen a series of US-Iran prisoner releases, and there may be more to come.
The secret back channel of negotiations between Iran and the United States, which led to this month’s interim deal in Geneva on Iran’s rogue nuclear program, has also seen a series of prisoner releases by both sides, which have played a central role in bridging the distance between the two nations, the Times of Israel has been told.
In the most dramatic of those releases, the US in April released a top Iranian scientist, Mojtaba Atarodi, who had been arrested in 2011 for attempting to acquire equipment that could be used for Iran’s military-nuclear programs.

As a result, no Americans will directly be involved in any on the ground inspections in Iran — is that right?”
RICE: “Wolf, yes. The IAEA, which is a highly respected international organization, will field an international team of inspectors. And those inspectors will in all likelihood come from IAEA member-states, most of whom have diplomatic relationships with Iran. We of course are a rare exception.”

Lawmakers to join Obama on trip to Kenya, Ethiopia
Half a dozen lawmakers will travel with Barack Obama to Kenya and Ethiopia next week in what is the president’s first trip to his ancestral homeland since being elected.
The White House invited a large contingent of lawmakers, prominently members of the Congressional Black Caucus, to join him on the Africa trip. Reps. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), Cedric Richmond (D-La.), G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) will attend.
The trip marks the first time a sitting president has traveled to Ethiopia. While in that country, Obama will attend the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit and meet with African Union leaders.
Butterfield said he planned to use the trip to stress to Kenyan and Ethiopian officials Congress’ commitment to them as trade, national security and diplomatic partners.
“Kenya is a strategic partner and they have some unique challenges and certainly Ethiopia does too. They need to be reassured that America is an ally and that we care about the continent in its entirety,” said Butterfield, who chairs the CBC.

He made a few remarks to reporters in the Oval Office on the Chattanooga Terrorist Attack, and called it the work of a “Lone Gunman.” There was only one shooter, but “Lone Gunman” is clearly designed to send the signal it is not really a terrorist attack. Obama always does this. He mentioned we know the “name” of the shooter – but, of course, he would not say the name. The fact the “Lone Gunman” is a Radical Muslim named “Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez” might be why Obama did not want to say the name.

Evil and Sick! Planned Parenthood Has Been Selling Aborted Baby Body Parts FOR DECADES
Planned Parenthood Has Been Selling Aborted Baby Body Parts FOR DECADES
David Dalaiden, the spokesman for Center for Medical Progress, went on The O’Reilly Factor to discuss the organization’s shocking video released yesterday. The video exposed Planned Parenthood’s business plan that includes harvesting and selling aborted baby body parts.
David Dalaiden, the spokesman for the Center for Medical Progress told Bill O’Reilly that Planned Parenthood has been selling baby organs for years.
If you look at the full footage of the entire conversation she actually describes the current biotech company that the Planned Parenthood clinic that she works at in Los Angeles is partnering with. It’s a company called Novagenics Laboratories and Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles routinely, for many years actually, has been supplying their aborted fetal parts to that company… It’s legal to donate human organs under current law. It is not legal to sell human body parts whether they are adult or fetal at any age. But Planned Parenthood has been involved in selling the baby body parts from babies they abort for decades now.
Planned Parenthood admitted in the video released yesterday that they get $30 to $100 for each baby body part.
This is illegal.
Wild Thing's comment............
This is all at the feet of democrats, they are the ones that demanded abortions, they are the ones that demanded late term abortion like Obama has done for example.

This is so upsetting what Planned Parenthood has been doing and it is a huge favorite of the jerk Obama's.

Federal Appeals Court Rules Nuns Dedicated To Helping The Poor Must Violate Their Religious Convictions
The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that the Little Sisters of the Poor have to comply with the administration’s “HHS mandate” on contraceptives, as modified by its “accommodation” for religious non-profits. But the decision seems to directly contradict the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling.
The ruling holds that the Little Sisters believe that complying with administration policy renders it complicit in immoral activity, that taking actions that make them complicit in immoral activity is itself immoral, and thus that they cannot take such actions consistent with their conscience.
The Tenth Circuit has decided that the Little Sisters are wrong about their complicity. The Supreme Court, in Hobby Lobby, could not have been clearer that this kind of reasoning is inconsistent with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

U.S. Will Teach Iran to Thwart Nuke Threats
Iran: ‘All our goals materialized’ under deal
Obama to America Will Now Train Iran On How To Protect Their Nuke Facilities From Israeli Attacks
The United States and other world powers will help to teach Iran how to thwart and detect threats to its nuclear program, according to the parameters of a deal reached Tuesday to rein in Iran’s contested nuclear program.
Under the terms of a deal that provides Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief, Iran and global powers will cooperate to help teach Iran how to manage its nuclear infrastructure, which will largely remain in tact under the deal.
Senior Iranian officials, including the country’s president, celebrated the deal as a victory for the country. Iran’s state controlled media quoted President Hassan Rouhani as saying that the deal will “remove all sanctions while maintaining [Tehran’s] nuclear program and nuclear progress.”
In what is being viewed as a new development, European countries and potentially the United States agreed to “cooperate with Iran on the implementation of nuclear security guidelines and best practices,” according to a copy of the agreement furnished by both the Russians and Iranians.
This will include “training courses and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to prevent, protect and respond to nuclear security threats to nuclear facilities and systems as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems,” according to the text.
Additional “training and workshops” would work to “strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems,” the text states.

‘Obama beats nuns': Little Sisters of the Poor lose battle against contraception mandate
‘Obama beats nuns': Little Sisters of the Poor lose battle against contraception mandate
The court victories keep rolling in for President Obama. The Tenth Circuit United States Court of Appeals on Tuesday morning ruled against the Little Sisters of the Poor, forcing the nuns to comply with the HHS abortion mandate, which compels religious groups to pay for birth control and drugs that may cause abortions.
The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty reported that the “court held that participating in the government’s contraception delivery scheme is ‘as easy as obtaining a parade permit, filing a simple tax form, or registering to vote’ and that although the Sisters sincerely believe that participating in the scheme ‘make[s] them complicit in the overall delivery scheme,’ the court ‘ultimately rejects the merits of this claim,’ because the court believes the scheme relieves [the Little Sisters] from complicity.”''
As Little Sisters of the Poor, we simply cannot choose between our care for the elderly poor and our faith. And we should not have to make that choice, because it violates our nation’s commitment to ensuring that people from diverse faiths can freely follow God’s calling in their lives. For over 175 years, we have served the neediest in society with love and dignity. All we ask is to be able to continue our religious vocation free from government intrusion.

An Iranian court on Monday issued a ruling fining the United States $50 billion for purported damages against the Islamic Republic and its citizens, according to an announcement by Iran’s Judiciary.
Iran claims that the United States is guilty of inflicting “heavy loss and damage” on the country, as well as “killing the Iranian nationals by assisting their enemies,” such as former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, according to Iran’s state-controlled Fars News Agency.
The ruling charges “the U.S. administration with the payment of a total 50-billion-dollar fine for the losses it has incurred on real and legal entities,” according to Fars.
A spokesman for Iran’s Judiciary was quoted as saying during a press conference in Tehran that “those who had filed a lawsuit against the U.S., their complaints have been processed.”

Sanders Says Redistribution More Important Than Growth, gets agreement from The Washington Post
Socialist presidential candidate Bernie Sanders believes that redistribution is more important than economic growth. Sanders obviously doesn’t understand economics or America, even at the advanced age of 73.
The Washington Post posted an approving piece today about what presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is willing to sacrifice to achieve “a more equal society” – economic growth.
Jim Tankersley, who covers economic policy for WaPo, is excited about Sanders’ maverick “unorthodoxy” that is tapping into “the mounting frustration in America, particularly among more liberal voters, with the widening gap between the rich and everyone else.”
“Our economic goals have to be redistributing a significant amount of [wealth] back from the top 1 percent,” Sanders said in a recent interview. “Unchecked growth – especially when 99 percent of all new income goes to the top 1 percent – is absurd”:
Where we’ve got to move is not growth for the sake of growth, but we’ve got to move to a society that provides a high quality of life for all of our people. In other words, if people have health care as a right, as do the people of every other major country, then there’s less worry about growth. If people have educational opportunity and their kids can go to college and they have child care, then there’s less worry about growth for the sake of growth.
Tankersley asserts that “many liberal economists, including some close to [Hillary] Clinton, contend that some policies designed to reduce inequality will in fact spur faster growth.”
Socialist Sanders has “an agenda,” Tankersley continues, “that includes sharply raising tax rates on the highest earners, increasing government spending by $1 trillion to rebuild infrastructure and create millions of jobs, and renegotiating America’s international trade agreements in hopes of boosting domestic workers.”

Donald Trump In 1999: “I Believe In Universal Health Care… It’s An Entitlement” From Birth
Donald Trump In 1999: “I Believe In Universal Health Care… It’s An Entitlement” From Birth
" I’m very liberal when it comes to health care.”
Donald Trump, the reality TV host and real estate mogul running for the Republican presidential nomination, once said we should make health care an entitlement and that health care coverage should be universal.
Speaking with CNN host Larry King in 1999 when he was flirting with a run for president on the Reform Party ticket, Trump said he was “quite liberal” when it came to health care.
“I said I’m conservative, generally speaking, I’m conservative, and even very conservative,” Trump told King in response to a question about a “patients’ bill of rights.”
“But I’m quite liberal and getting much more liberal on health care and other things. I really say: What’s the purpose of a country if you’re not going to have defensive and health care?’
Trump added believed in “universal health care.”
“If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care,” he said. “I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”
Asked if he thought it was an entitlement, Trump affirmed he did indeed believe it was one from birth.
“I think it is. It’s an entitlement to this country, and too bad the world can’t be, you know, in this country. But the fact is, it’s an entitlement to this country if we’re going to have a great country.”
Speaking with The Advocate that year, Trump said he’d fund his universal health care plan with an increase in corporate taxes.
“I would put forward a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes,” Trump said.
In his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, Trump also spoke favorably of the Canadian health care system and said he “we need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.”
On Dateline NBC that year, Trump also mentioned he was “totally for choice” when it came to abortion.
“I hate the concept of abortion,” said Trump. “I hate—, I hate anything about abortion, and yet, I’m totally for choice. I think you have no alternative, too.
Here’s the transcript of the King interview:
KING: Patients’ Bill of Rights: You mentioned health care as one of the social issues; you for it?
TRUMP: I think you have to have it, and, again, I said I’m conservative, generally speaking, I’m conservative, and even very conservative. But I’m quite liberal and getting much more liberal on health care and other things. I really say: What’s the purpose of a country if you’re not going to have defensive and health care?
If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.
KING: So you believe, then, it’s an entitlement of birth?
TRUMP: I think it is. It’s an entitlement to this country, and too bad the world can’t be, you know, in this country. But the fact is, it’s an entitlement to this country if we’re going to have a great country.
Wild Thing's comment..........
Yep, and this should matter to people that are conservatives and do not like Obamacare and sure as heck do not one universal health care.
It makes me laugh when he said he was a conservative, I almost chocked. NO way is he a conservative. nope nada.

Donald Trump and Eminent Domain, He Used Gov. To Take Others Property
Donald Trump and Eminent Domain
In a free market, there’s a pretty simple process for dealing with the situation that arises when one person covets another’s belongings: The coveter makes an offer to purchase them. If the offer is rebuffed, the coveter can make a new proposal, but he cannot simply take what he wants. It’s an effective way of recognizing the impracticality of the Tenth Commandment while enforcing the Eighth.
Donald Trump’s covetous nature is not in dispute, but what many may forget is that he’s no great respecter of the admonition not to steal, either: The man has a track record of using the government as a hired thug to take other people’s property.
This is called, of course, “eminent domain.” The Constitution’s Fifth Amendment allows the government to take private property for “public use,” so long as “just compensation” is paid. In the infamous 2005 Kelo decision, the Supreme Court held that “public use” could include, well, private use, so long as the new property owner paid more in taxes than the previous one. In other words, it allowed developers and the government to gang up on homeowners. The developer gets more land, the government gets more tax money. The only losers are the original owner and his property rights.
A decade and a half ago, it was fresh on everyone’s mind that Donald Trump is one of the leading users of this form of state-sanctioned thievery. It was all over the news. In perhaps the most-remembered example, John Stossel got the toupéed one to sputter about how, if he wasn’t allowed to steal an elderly widow’s house to expand an Atlantic City casino, the government would get less tax money, and seniors like her would get less “this and that.” Today, however, it takes a push from the Club for Growth to remind us of Trump’s lack of respect for property rights.
The problem dates back to at least 1994. That year, Trump promised to turn Bridgeport, Conn., into“a national tourist destination by building a $350 million combined amusement park, shipping terminal and seaport village and office complex on the east side of the harbor,” reported the Hartford Courant. “At a press conference during which almost every statement contained the term ‘world class,’ Trump and Mayor Joseph Ganim lavished praise on one another and the development project and spoke of restoring Bridgeport to its glory days.”
The wrinkle? “Five businesses and the city-owned Pleasure Beach now occupy the land,” as the Courant put it. The solution? “The city would become a partner with Trump Connecticut Inc. and obtain the land through its powers of condemnation. Trump would in turn buy the land from the city.”
Here’s how the story concluded: “The entire development would cost the city nothing, Trump said, and no private homeowners would be affected because there are no dwellings on the land. Trump would own everything.”
That brings us to the story of the aforementioned elderly widow in Atlantic City, which starts at about the same time. The woman, Vera Coking, had owned property near the Trump Plaza Hotel for three decades, and didn’t want to move. Trump thought the land was better suited for use as a park, a parking lot, and a waiting area for limousines.
He tried to negotiate, at one point offering Coking $1 million for the land. But she wasn’t budging. So New Jersey’s Casino Reinvestment Development Authority filed a lawsuit, instructing Coking to leave within 90 days and offering compensation of only $251,000.
Perhaps the only upside to this story is that in neither case did Trump succeed. The Bridgeport plan fizzled. Coking fought in court, and — in part because these were the days before Kelo was decided, no doubt — she was lucky enough to win. In 1998, a judge threw out the case.
In 2005, however, Trump was delighted to find that the Supreme Court had okayed the brand of government-abetted theft that he’d twice attempted. “I happen to agree with it 100 percent,” he told Fox News’s Neil Cavuto of the Kelo decision.
Can Republicans support someone with so little regard for the property of others? Let’s hope not.

WW11 Veterans talk tenacity, even in the darkest times
WW11 Veterans talk tenacity, even in the darkest times
A woman in a neon yellow safety vest and dark sunglasses warned the chattering crowd of what was about to happen: smoke and noise. Hold on to your hats and cameras, she advised, because the engines will create a serious backdraft. Propellers roared to life. People clutched hats to their heads and coughed on oily smoke as the vintage military planes warmed up for their test flight.
The Manassas Regional Airport in Virginia hosted four World War II era bombers as part of the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover test flight, May 7, in preparation for a flight over Washington, D.C., the following day to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe, or V-E Day. Veterans and their Family members, as well as members of the public, were invited to view the test flight. A few lucky people were even allowed to ride in the planes for the flight.
Urban Rahoi, a 96-year-old pilot from Alaska, was one of the lucky few. That's right, Rahoi is still a working pilot, but flying in one of the old bombers was a treat for the former Army captain, who flew with the Army Air Corps' 15th Air Force, 463rd Bomb Group in 1944.
Rahoi, spry and enthusiastic, was all smiles as he answered questions before the test flight. He flew five missions while stationed in Italy, and claims he was never afraid.
"Let's look at it this way: If I live, I'll live. If I'm meant to die, I'll die. So I just went out and never was scared or anything," Rahoi said.
Rahoi was stationed overseas for a year and half, at the request of a general, who wanted him to help keep the other pilots in order. After V-E Day, Rahoi was in Italy for about more six months.
"We took the B-17s and converted them to passenger planes and hauled people from Italy over to Casablanca. And so part of my job was to keep the pilots straight," he said.
Rahoi said he believes having the flyover is great, because it shows that people still remember what happened during World War II, and why the Soldiers were fighting.
Four planes were exhibited during the test flight: a B-24 Liberator, two B-17 Flying Fortresses, and one B-29 Superfortress, the last B-29 still actively flying.
Guests were allowed to explore inside the planes after the test flight and subsequent cool down.
SUPERFORTRESS
"I'm excited [about the flyover] because I feel that it's important that we keep alive that we fought a great war to save democracy," another veteran, Bob Vaucher, told a crowd of reporters on the flight line while awaiting takeoff.
Vaucher wore a black ball cap sporting the word "Superfortress" to keep the relentless sun out of his eyes. A retired lieutenant colonel, Vaucher flew B-29s - four-propeller heavy bombers - during his service with the Army Air Corps during World War. His very first mission, June 5, 1944, in the skies over Japan, was just a day before D-Day in Europe.
"I led the largest in-land bombing mission in World War II over Yokohama," Vaucher said. "And in one mission we wiped out [the city]. We had 452 B-29s on that mission, and you might wonder how we felt when the atomic bomb was dropped. Two days after we all got pictures of what happened at Hiroshima, we looked at these pictures and we couldn't believe that one airplane had done all the damage that we did with 450 airplanes."
Vaucher's mission to Yokohama destroyed 7 square miles, using hundreds of planes and bombs, while the atom bomb destroyed 4 square miles in one fell swoop, he recalled. "It was almost unbelievable that this happened."
Vaucher flew 117 missions total, but one was particularly harrowing. He was leading a bomb group to a target and took on heavy anti-aircraft fire, making his plane shake heavily while several other planes in the group were shot down. Once they landed at Iwo Jima, after the Marines had taken it, Vaucher and his crew counted 400 bullet holes before they gave up counting all together.
"I hope [the Japanese] understand what happened and that it will never happen again if we live like we're living now," and continue to communicate with one another, Vaucher said.
RANGOON DISASTER
Of course, some of the most dangerous missions veterans experienced didn't always end with landing safely in a friendly area. Karnig Thomasian, an animated 91 year-old formerly with the 20th Air Force in the China-Burma-India theater, was a gunner on an early version of the B-29. He flew three missions, and the third, which he refers to as the "Rangoon Disaster," would be the most traumatic.
The mission began poorly.
"The bombardiers found out there was a mixed load of 500 to 1,000 pound bombs with no fuses. No fuses because in order to bomb a bridge you have to have the bomb burst on impact, and 1,000 pounders was the only armament that would destroy the bridge. The 500s were useless," Thomasian explained. "Our commander, after hearing the complaints from the head bombardier, told him you either go on the mission or you're court martialed. So we went."
Originally, Thomasian and his crew were supposed to bomb a bridge in Thailand, but had to move to a second target because of cloud cover interference. They moved on to target railway yards in Rangoon, Burma.
"Dropped the bombs. Moments later, everything turned red," he said. "Our plane flipped; what had happened was that the bombs hit each other in the air, as the bombardiers knew would happen, and blew the whole formation up, to the point that four planes went down directly on the target, including us, and one was destroyed immediately. Just blew up, so it must have been right under them."
Only one plane from that group was able to return to base.
Thomasian and several others from the front of the plane were able to parachute out of the firestorm. Thomasian was the only person from the rear of the plane to make it out. The pilot stayed with the plane as it crashed, in attempt to stabilize their descent and give as many crewmembers a chance to escape as possible.
"But he couldn't do anything, everything was shot up. Three engines [failing], the bomb bay was in fire," Thomasian recalled.
Thomasian and the other escapees were able to land safely just a little ways outside of the city, but their safety was short lived. Japanese soldiers came by soon after they landed and took them prisoner.
"They interrogated us, they beat us … and finally after three days [the plane's crew)] met each other and found out who survived, who didn't," Thomasian said.
The prisoners were then moved to a former British prison with 12-foot concrete walls, where the "flyboys" were put in solitary confinement for almost two months. A Chinese prisoner, who used to feed the men in solitary, would doll out an extra scoop of rice when the Japanese guards weren't looking. "He had a soul about him that was so compassionate," Thomasian said.
"At which time they interrogated us almost every day. Finally, the war was starting to turn, or I don't know what motivated them, but they took us out and put us into a regular compound, which was to us, a great relief, because we could cook our own rice. It was a big deal," Thomasian said.
The prisoners were transferred to the regular compound around February 1945. Thomasian became the barber for the prisoners, making a blade out of things he found around the compound. The prisoners would joke about going out on dates when they came to get a haircut. A British soldier imprisoned with Thomasian would mock their captors when they weren't paying attention.
"If the [Japanese] ever saw him … they would kill him. But he was a big, tough son of a gun, but a funny guy," Thomasian said.
The Japanese eventually announced they would be moving the prisoners to a different location. Those who couldn't walk were given the option to stay behind. Thomasian, who had developed gangrene in a sore on his leg, opted to stay at the compound, because he knew if he could not keep up, he would be killed. Shortly after the Japanese left, British Gurkah soldiers liberated the prison.
"The first white man to come was a British newsman. Tall guy … healthy as hell, rosy cheeks, and we looked so pale and awful, it was the first time I noticed our deterioration. Because it was so obvious, wow did that hit us," Thomasian recalled. After that, British soldiers arrived in force.
They painted notice on the roof of the prison to let friendly bombers know the Japanese had left, but Thomasian said the first wave of planes bombed the prison anyway.
"Fortunately, [they] missed us and hit the outer wall. So quickly [the British] got up on the next roof and [wrote] 'extract digit,' I said what the hell is extract digit? They waved their wings, they understood it: Take [your] finger out of your butt," he said. The British planes then came back with parachute drops of food and supplies until they could extract the prisoners.
When Thomasian and the other prisoners were brought to Calcutta over the river, they were encouraged to eat handfuls of vitamins to aid their recovery.
He said maintaining a positive attitude and a sense of humor kept him and his fellow survivors alive.
"In all these crazy moments, there are moments where you have to laugh. Which really keeps you going," Thomasian said. "And to survive in prison, I think one of the chief things is that you have to decide whether you're going to capitulate and just go back into yourself and die, or you're going to say 'Hey, I'm living, I'm breathing, I'm going to go on and succeed, and I'm getting out of here.'"
FEARLESS IN LIFE
Every veteran has a story to tell, and remembering the things that they have been through is important on personal as well as historic levels. The Arsenal of Democracy Flyover event and the test flight bring those stories to the forefront of the public's mind.
Rahoi, Vaucher and Thomasian all shared one message: Tenacity. Having a positive attitude, even in the darkest of times, will help get you through life.
"You have to take note of what your situation is," Thomasian said, "And you have to say, 'Hey look, I can cope with this.'"

Man Drops 130-Pounds Just so He Could Join the Army ( video at link)
Man Drops 130-Pounds Just so He Could Join the Army ( video at link)
There’s nothing that brings a tear to my eye faster than a man who so loves his country, who has so strong a desire to serve her and protect his fellow citizens, that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to land his “dream job.”
Which is probably why I got a little misty-eyed about Steven Harper’s story, and what he was willing to do — and accomplish — in order to join the Army and protect our freedoms.
A lot of people told me, ‘You’re too big, Steven,’” he told KCPQ-TV.
But few people would go to the same lengths Harper did for their dream job. In the last year, Harper has shed 130 pounds from his originally 350-pound frame so he could serve his country by joining the U.S. Army.
“I’ve always seen the commercials on TV, and I got, I got excited,” Harper told the news station. “Ask anyone growing up, I came from a military family and seeing my family and loved ones in uniform has always excited me.”
Army Sgt. Jesse Santos described Harper as ”a pretty hefty guy” when he first came to the office at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. Despite over 20 percent of his body weight being fat, Santos had a message for him.
“Don’t give up,” he said.
After that initial day in the office, Harper said he immediately went home, put on his workout clothes and hit the pavement.
A year after he started, he’s lost over 130 pounds, and has officially enlisted in the U.S. Army.
This man is a true patriot, and I sincerely hope he continues to get healthy and in shape while serving his nation and fighting to preserve our freedom and safety.
Guys like this are heroes, because they’re willing to sacrifice and endure pain in order to stand up for what they believe in, setting an example the rest of us should follow.
Be sure to thank those you know who are serving in the military for all they do.

Remains Of 36 WWII Marines Found On Remote Pacific Island 70 Years After Battle
Remains Of 36 WWII Marines Found On Remote Pacific Island 70 Years After Battle
Mark Noah, director of the U.S. charity History Flight, said the men were killed during the Battle of Tarawa in 1943.
More than 70 years after dying in a World War II battle, the bodies of 36 U.S. Marines have finally been found on Betio Island in the remote Pacific.
The remains were discovered after a four-month excavation on the island, which is a part of the Republic of Kiribati.
Mark Noah, director of the U.S. charity History Flight Inc., recently revealed the discovery to Radio New Zealand. His organization worked with the U.S. Department of Defense on the project.
Noah said the men were killed during the Battle of Tarawa in 1943, in which more than 1,000 Americans died fighting Japanese forces in Kiribati. The entire 4,800-strong Japanese garrison was also wiped out.
The Quartermaster General's Office declared the 36 Marines "unrecoverable" in 1949, according to Noah.
"(They) had an expectation that if they were to die in the line of duty defending their country they would be brought home ... that was a promise made 70 years ago that we felt should be kept," Noah said Tuesday, according to AFP.
The remains have not yet been officially identified, but Noah said he suspects they include the body of 1st Lieutenant Alexander Bonnyman, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty," according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Two other men killed on Tarawa also posthumously earned the Medal of Honor.
According to Bonnyman's Medal of Honor citation, acting on his own initiative, he defied overwhelming enemy fire to organize and lead Marines on a series of assaults before being killed after attacking a bombproof installation that was preventing the troops' advance.
Bonnyman's daughters said they plan to have his remains interred in a family burial plot in Knoxville, Tennessee, next to his parents.
"Our family, including Lt. Bonnyman's two surviving daughters - my mother and aunt - is deeply grateful to History Flight for accomplishing what nobody else could for more than seven decades," said Bonnyman's grandson, Clay Bonnyman Evans, who was on the scene for the recovery, according to NY Daily News.
Ed Huffine, board secretary for History Flight, said in a statement that they have "dental matches to known missing Tarawa marines for more than half of the recovered individuals," but are still "seeking DNA reference samples from families of the Tarawa missing."
"We plan to have all of these recovered heroes identified by the end of the summer," he said.

FBI Thwarted Plots To Kill Americans In July 4th ISIS-Connected Plots, 10 Arrested
FBI Thwarted Plots To Kill Americans In July 4th ISIS-Connected Plots, 10 Arrested
WASHINGTON, July 9 (Reuters) – U.S. authorities thwarted plots to kill people in the United States around the July 4 holiday, FBI Director James Comey said on Thursday.
Comey told reporters more than 10 people inspired by the Islamic State’s recruitment online have been arrested over the past four weeks, some of which were focused on attacks around the July 4 holiday.
FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued a warning to local law enforcement to be on alert for attacks around July 4. No such attacks occurred.
Comey did not give the details on the number of plots thwarted or their targets.
He said dozens of people in the United States who are suspected to be under the influence of Islamic State militants have “gone dark” because of encrypted data.
Wild Thing's comment............
It is hard to believe anyone in the Obama administration.In the past presidential administrations I don't remember the FBI normally bragging about their successes nor arrests so as not to alert their associates.But everything is so different under Obama.

GOP Candidates Must Turn In Financial Disclosure On Time In Order To Be In First Debate
GOP Candidates Must Turn In Financial Disclosure On Time In Order To Be In First Debate
The large field of Republican presidential hopefuls jockeying to make the cut for the first 2016 debate will have to file a public disclosure of their personal finances on time to participate.
That means every candidate who declared before July 6 — a group of 14 contenders including former Florida governor Jeb Bush and real estate magnate Donald Trump — will have to reveal information about their assets and debts to get into the Aug. 6 event in Cleveland.
Fox News, which is hosting the debate with Facebook and the Ohio Republican Party, clarified Thursday that the criteria for candidates to participate include filing the required personal financial disclosure within 30 days of declaring their bids.
"FOX News has never wavered from the initial debate criteria we set forth," Michael Clemente, the network's executive vice president of news, said in a statement, which was first reported by the New York Times.
"As we have said from the beginning, part of that criteria involves filing 'all necessary paperwork with the FEC,' " Clemente said. "The FEC, as is well known, requires that presidential candidates file a financial disclosure statement as part of that paperwork. During routine pre-debate discussions with all of the campaigns, we have reiterated all components of the criteria, from poll standing to filing the proper paperwork, to ensure that all candidates fully understood the entry criteria. We have no intention of changing any aspect of the criteria nor have we deliberated doing so."
Under a 1978 federal ethics law, all presidential candidates have to file details about their financial interests with the FEC within 30 days of declaring. The agency allows two 45-day extensions.
But requests for extensions will not be considered sufficient to participate in the debate, according to a person familiar with the details of the FEC paperwork required under the criteria, who requested anonymity to describe the process.
"They must fill out the form, putting the dollars and cents on the table, before they step on the debate stage," the person said.
So far, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson have filed their personal financial disclosures.
Aides to Trump — who claims to be worth $8.7 billion — have maintained that he will file his disclosure within the 30 days allotted, giving him until July 22.
Jeb Bush has until July 15 to meet the deadline for his paperwork, but his campaign has asked for a 45-day extension. A spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a question about when he plans to file.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas had requested an extension of the filing deadline through mid-August. However, his spokesman, Rick Tyler, said Thursday that Cruz would file before then.
"We will file on time in order to participate," Tyler said.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who had also requested an extension, will file before the debate, spokesman Sergio Gor said.

Obama and His Administration Unveils New Regulations To Racially Integrate Wealthy Neighborhoods
Obama and His Administration Unveils New Regulations To Racially Integrate Wealthy Neighborhoods
The Obama administration announced new rules on Wednesday that are meant to racially integrate America’s neighborhoods but some conservatives claim are an attempt by Washington to play a heavy-handed role in creating “utopias.”
The new HUD housing rule comes on the heels of a landmark Supreme Court decision that reaffirmed the federal agency’s power to ban housing policies that hurt minorities.
The Fair Housing Act, which originally was passed in 1968 and barred racial discrimination, demanded the government end segregation.
The new rule takes this a step further and requires cities across the country to scrutinize their housing patterns for racial bias and report the results every three to five years. Communities would also have to set and track goals to further reduce segregation.
“Unfortunately, too many Americans find their dreams limited by where they come from, and a ZIP code should never determine a child’s future,” Julian Castro, the secretary of the department of Housing and Urban Development, said Wednesday in a written statement. “This important step will give local leaders the tools they need to provide all Americans with access to safe, affordable housing in communities that are rich with opportunity.”
But others say the rule is nothing short of a government power grab.
“This overreaching new regulation is an attempt to extort communities into giving up control of local zoning decisions and reengineer the makeup of our neighborhoods,” Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., told FoxNews.com in a written statement on Wednesday.

Hillary
Claimed (LIED) During Interview She Wasn’t Subpoenaed, Trey Gowdy Releases Copy Of Subpoena
Hillary Clinton falsely claimed in an interview that she had not received a subpoena for her emails. But Trey Gowdy, the chair of the House Benghazi committee, released the subpoena he sent the former secretary of state after hearing Clinton not tell the truth:
The Benghazi committee says in a statement:
The House Select Committee on Benghazi today released its March 4, 2015, subpoena to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in response to her inaccurate claim she had not been subpoenaed. The committee subpoenaed Clinton directly after it became aware of her exclusive use of personal email and a server and that the State Department was not the custodian of Clinton’s official record. The State Department failed to reveal this essential information to the Benghazi Committee or any other investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attacks until days before a media outlet was going to publish the information, meaning no investigation prior to the Benghazi Committee’s had access to the Secretary of State’s communications as part of its review.

Army plans to cut 40,000 soldiers
The Army plans to cut 40,000 soldiers from its ranks over the next two years, a reduction that will affect virtually all of its domestic and foreign posts, the service asserts in a document obtained by USA TODAY.
The potential troop cut comes as the Obama administration is pondering its next moves against the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria. President Obama said Monday he and military leaders had not discussed sending additional troops to Iraq to fight the Islamic State. There are about 3,500 troops in Iraq.
"This will not be quick — this is a long-term campaign," Obama said at the Pentagon after meeting top military brass in the wake of setbacks that have prompted critics to call for a more robust U.S. response against the Islamic State.
An additional 17,000 Army civilian employees would be laid off under the plan officials intend to announce this week. Under the plan, the Army would have 450,000 soldiers by Sept. 30, 2017, the end of the 2017 budget year. The reduction in troops and civilians is due to budget constraints, the document says.
The Pentagon's budget, released in February, envisioned the reduction to 450,000 would occur by Sept. 30, 2018.
The Army should bottom out at 450,000 soldiers, said Michael O'Hanlon, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution.
Cutting "more would make me quite nervous," he said.
The Army declined to comment on the proposed reductions in its forces.
If the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration, set to begin in October, take place the Army would have to slash another 30,000 soldiers, according to the document. At that level, the Army would not be able to meet its current deployments and respond to demands for troops in other regions.
Among the proposed changes, brigades at Fort Benning, Ga., and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska will be downsized from units of about 4,000 soldiers to battalion task forces of 1,050 soldiers.
Downsizing Army forces in Alaska "makes no strategic sense," said Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican member of the Armed Services committee from Alaska. The White House emphasis on shifting military assets to the Asia-Pacific region and concerns about Russian aggression in the Arctic require strong forces in Alaska.
"One person who's going to be very pleased with this is Vladimir Putin," Sullivan said.

Kenyan Politician: If Obama Brings 'Gay Agenda, We Will Tell Him to Shut Up and Go Home'
Kenyan Politician: If Obama Brings 'Gay Agenda, We Will Tell Him to Shut Up and Go Home''
When he visits his father’s homeland in Africa later this month, President Obama is expected to run into vocal opposition over his administration’s high-profile promotion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
Obama’s trip to Kenya, his first as president, is scheduled to take place four weeks after the White House was bathed in rainbow colors to mark the U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring that same-sex marriage is a right.
At a small pro-family demonstration at the parliament in Nairobi Monday, organized by the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, participants called on the American president not to raise the subject during his visit.
“It is important for us as Kenyans to know that the U.S. is not God,” local media quoted evangelical Bishop Mark Kariuki as saying, adding that Obama should not use the visit to “talk about the gay issue.”
Irungu Kangata, a lawmaker in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) party, was blunter: “We are telling Mr. Obama when he comes to Kenya this month and he tries to bring the abortion agenda, the gay agenda, we shall tell him to shut up and go home.”
According to The Standard of Nairobi, Kangata said Kenyans would demonstrate against Obama over the issue during his visit.
Kenya’s The Daily Nation quoted several other lawmakers’ views on the matter.
“Anybody who tries to come and preach to this country that they should allow homosexuality, I think he’s totally lost,” said TNA lawmaker Jamleck Kamau.
“And I would also like to add, our son from the U.S., Barack Obama, when he comes here, to simply avoid that topic completely,” added Kamau, “because Kenyans will not be happy with him if he comes to bring the issue of homosexuality in this country.”
“God did not create man and woman so that men would marry men and women marry women,” The Daily Nation quoted him as saying.
“Those who want to engage in those businesses, they can do it in their countries, and they can do it wherever it is they want. In Kenya, we will stand firm.”
White House press secretary Josh Earnest indicated Monday that Obama would not avoid the topic during his visit.

Obama Issues ‘Executive Actions’ To Put Solar Panels On Federally Subsidized Housing
Obama Issues ‘Executive Actions’ To Put Solar Panels On Federally Subsidized Housing
The Obama administration is issuing a slew of executive orders to boost the solar panel industry, this time by pushing for more solar panels to be used at federally subsidized housing developments.
The White House announced a goal of getting 300 megawatts installed at federally subsidized housing all while providing technical and financial assistance to subsidized housing operators looking to go green. The administration also says it’s leveraged $520 million in “independent commitments from philanthropic and impact investors, states, and cities” to boost solar energy among the low income community.
“The executive actions and private sector commitments that we are announcing today will help continue to scale up solar for all Americans, including those who are renters, lack the startup capital to invest in solar, or do not have adequate information on how to transition to solar energy,” the White House said in a statement.
The move to push solar panel on federally-subsidized housing comes less than one month after Obama unveiled “executive actions” to “make information about energy and climate programs … accessible and more understandable to the public, including to mission-driven investors.” Obama also ordered the IRS to issue guidance on how groups could invest in green energy.

Obama State Dept. withholding content of Obama/Hillary call from night of Benghazi attack
Obama State Dept. withholding content of Obama/Hillary call from night of Benghazi attack
Some of us remember that Barack Obama jetted off to a fundraiser in Las Vegas on the night our consulate in Benghazi was attacked by terrorists associated with Al Qaeda. Now you might be able to offer this defense of the president: He can do his job from anywhere. He has communication capabilities wherever he goes, and he has the freedom to use them any time he wants.
And, yes, that’s true. And on the night of September 11, 2012, he did make use of his communication tools to talk with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about what was happening in Benghazi. Not only that, but it turns out there is a transcript of that call in the possession of the State Department.
So what did they say? Ha! They’re not telling you, sillies. What they said is for them to know and you to not find out.
The email on the Obama-Clinton phone call bears the subject line, “Call.” The text of the email says, “Readout of President’s Call to Secretary Clinton,” but the rest of the details are fully redacted. The State Department cited the so-called “B5” exception for internal deliberations.
The emails also show that [Deputy National Security Advisor Ben] Rhodes, on the night of Sept. 11, 2012, and before the attack was over, endorsed a statement from Clinton that cited an anti-Islam Internet video.
That statement noted some tried to justify the assault “as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.” Rhodes told Clinton’s aides that “we should let State Department statement be our comment for the night.”
The following day, Sept. 12, Meehan sent an email to State and NSC officials saying Rhodes would host a conference call that morning “to ensure we are all in sync on messaging for the rest of the day.”
Note the emphasis on messaging, a seemingly strange priority given the reality of four dead embassy staffers (including the U.S. ambassador to Libya) and the very real possibility that other embassies and consulates in the region could be under threat. Yet not strange at all for this administration, especially in the midst of a re-election campaign that was hinging somewhat significantly on the notion that Al Qaeda was on the run.
That was a total lie, of course, and if the White House admitted that the attack was a) planned in advance; and b) Al Qaeda-connected, it would give the lie to that essential campaign theme. That’s exactly why they concocted the BS about the YouTube video and the whole thing being a spontaneous demonstration in reaction to it. Why admit that real terrorist organizations can still hit you when you can blame it on an amateur American video producer?
With all that said, if the Obama/Clinton phone transcript demonstrated that the administration really did play it straight in its response to the attack, don’t you think they’re release the transcript to demonstrate that instead of redacting the entire thing? Then again, if the whole thing was about messaging and politics, boy . . . that would look awfully bad, wouldn’t it? You don’t suppose that would serve as an incentive to keep it quite, do you?

Obama and His Administration Have Become Iran’s Attorney
Obama and His Administration Have Become Iran’s Attorney
Reuters is reporting about the Obama administration taking the Iranian side regarding a long list of violations to the interim Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) agreed to at the beginning of April as well as the United Nations Security Council resolutions by seeking to procure illicit nuclear infrastructure and refusing to cooperate with the IAEA. Despite evidence to the contrary, the Obama administration is denying they ever happened, or labeling them as inconsequential.
For a month now the U.S. State Department has been defending Iran from suggestions that it was on the verge of violating a requirement to reduce its low-enriched uranium stockpile under a 2013 interim nuclear with major powers… It was not the first time Washington has defended Iran. After the IAEA reported that Iran had begun feeding uranium into a single advanced centrifuge last year, which would be a violation of the 2013 deal, U.S. negotiators said it was apparently a mistake on Iran’s part… A U.N. panel of experts that monitors compliance with Security Council sanctions has repeatedly reported that Iran is suspected of buying equipment linked to the activities it is now negotiating to suspend. But in its annual report in April, the panel said it had received no formal notifications from U.N. member states of Iranian breaches of sanctions, and suggested this may be because countries were trying to avoid damaging nuclear talks.
That most recent and perhaps most serious example of Iran’s cheating was the oxidation violation which was confirmed last week (and still denied by the administration.) The Iranians were obligated by the JPOA to turn all of their excess uranium gas (UF6), anything over 7,650kg, into dioxide powder (UO2) also known as yellowcake. But the Iranians converted it to a different type of oxide easily converted back to usable uranium.
But there are different kinds of uranium oxide and this is an area where precision is very important. Therefore the Congressional Research Service reports about the JPOA – which were also posted on the state department’s website – noted that:
“Iran is also to, in effect, freeze its production of enriched uranium hexafluoride containing up to 5% uranium-235 by converting the material to uranium dioxide.”
Once it became news that the Iranians cheated on the conversion, the Obama administration went to work retroactively rewriting the deal on Iran’s behalf.
With great fanfare last week the State Department reported that Iran had complied with that key condition of the interim agreement, significantly reducing its stockpile of enriched uranium – an accurate statement as long as one ignores Iran’s violations. Along with some of the people interviewed by Reuters, a leading non-proliferation think tank is bashing the Administration for trying to sweep the violations under the rug.
Wild Thing's comment..............
Obama always has been and will always be a liar. He’ll get a deal with the Iranians for his legacy or what he thinks will be his legacy. When the Iranians have accomplished the ability to produce working nuclear weapons, that technology will make its way into the hands of terrorists who will do the work for the Iranian government.

Pizza 4 Patriots! Troops Overseas Getting Pizza For The Fourth Of July
Pizza 4 Patriots! Troops Overseas Getting Pizza For The Fourth Of July
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Nearly 10,000 American troops overseas are getting a slice of American pie for Independence Day.
Chicago-based Pizza 4 Patriots is sending 5,500 pizzas to troops in Afghanistan and Kuwait to give them a taste of home on the 4th of July.
The pizzas were donated by Buffalo-based Rich Products and delivered by DHL Express.
Pizzas 4 Patriots was created in 2008 when retired Master Sergeant Mark Evans and his son Kent had the idea to deliver freshly frozen pizzas to U.S. troops serving abroad to show appreciation for their service.
Since then, the program has sent more than 155,000 pizzas to U.S. military personnel overseas.

Obama Leaves Out ‘God’ From 4th of July Weekly Address
Unlike his weekly addresses during the previous two years, where the President concluded his speeches with “God Bless You All” (2014) and “So, God bless You All. And may God bless The United States of America” (2013), Obama left out any mention of God in his recent address. Instead, this year, he chose to end his speech with a very politically correct, “Thanks, everybody. From my family to yours, have a safe and happy Fourth of July.”
“Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
July 4, 2015
Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Like many of you, Michelle, Sasha, Malia, and I are going to spend the day outdoors, grilling burgers and dogs, and watching the fireworks with our family and friends. It’s also Malia’s birthday, which always makes the Fourth extra fun for us.
As always, we’ve invited some very special guests to our backyard barbecue – several hundred members of our military and their families. On this most American of holidays, we remember that all who serve here at home and overseas, represent what today is all about. And we remember that their families serve, too. We are so grateful for their service and for their sacrifice.
We remember as well that this is the day when, 239 years ago, our founding patriots declared our independence, proclaiming that all of us are created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights including the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A couple of centuries later, we have made ourselves into a big, bold, dynamic, and diverse country. We are of all races, we come from all places, we practice all faiths, and believe in all sorts of different ideas. But our allegiance to this declaration – this idea – is the creed that binds us together. It’s what, out of many, makes us one.
And it’s been the work of each successive generation to keep this founding creed safe by making sure its words apply to every single American. Folks have fought, marched, protested, even died for that endeavor, proving that as Americans, our destiny is not written for us, but by us.
We honor those heroes today. We honor everyone who continually strives to make this country a better, stronger, more inclusive, and more hopeful place. We, the people, pledge to make their task our own – to secure the promise of our founding words for our own children, and our children’s children.
And finally, what better weekend than this to cheer on Team USA – good luck to the U.S. Women’s National Team in the World Cup Final!
Thanks, everybody. From my family to yours, have a safe and happy Fourth of July.”

Happy July 4th 2015 ~ Happy Independence!
The Declaration of Independence In Congress, July 4, 1776
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain Inalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
We owe the generation that gave us the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.

Kim Jong Un Celebrates Grand Opening of New Pyongyang Airport – Then Quickly Executes Designer
The new airport, which receives roughly 60 flights a week, did not quite please the young tyrant.
So he quickly executed the airport designer.
Kim smiled as he posed next to chocolate fountains and espresso bars – but in in private was so furious at ‘defects’ that he had the airport’s designer killed.
Executions are common in North Korea, with senior officials being killed for offences as minor as watching South Korean soap operas.
Airport design chief Ma Won Chun disappeared late last year, and is thought to have been executed after Kim voiced his dissatisfaction with the airport, according to The Diplomat.
Chun was executed for ‘for corrupt practices and failure to follow orders.’
Kim Jong Un issued a statement saying, ‘Defects were manifested in the last phase of the construction of the Terminal 2 because the designers failed to bear in mind the party’s idea of architectural beauty that is the life and soul and core in architecture to preserve the character and national identity.

Obama Blocks Attempts By Arab Allies To Arm Kurds With Heavy Weapons In Fight Against Islamic State
Obama Blocks Attempts By Arab Allies To Arm Kurds With Heavy Weapons In Fight Against Islamic State
The United States has blocked attempts by its Middle East allies to fly heavy weapons directly to the Kurds fighting Islamic State jihadists in Iraq.
Some of America’s closest allies say President Barack Obama and other Western leaders, including David Cameron, are failing to show strategic leadership over the world’s gravest security crisis for decades.
They now say they are willing to “go it alone” in supplying heavy weapons to the Kurds, even if means defying the Iraqi authorities and their American backers, who demand all weapons be channelled through Baghdad.
High level officials from Gulf and other states have told this newspaper that all attempts to persuade Mr Obama of the need to arm the Kurds directly as part of more vigorous plans to take on Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) have failed. The Senate voted down one attempt by supporters of the Kurdish cause last month.
The officials say they are looking at new ways to take the fight to Isil without seeking US approval.
“If the Americans and the West are not prepared to do anything serious about defeating Isil, then we will have to find new ways of dealing with the threat,” said a senior Arab government official. “With Isil making ground all the time we simply cannot afford to wait for Washington to wake up to the enormity of the threat we face.”
The Peshmerga have been successfully fighting Isil, driving them back from the gates of Erbil and, with the support of Kurds from neighbouring Syria, re-establishing control over parts of Iraq’s north-west.
But they are doing so with a makeshift armoury. Millions of pounds-worth of weapons have been bought by a number of European countries to arm the Kurds, but American commanders, who are overseeing all military operations against Isil, are blocking the arms transfers.
One of the core complaints of the Kurds is that the Iraqi army has abandoned so many weapons in the face of Isil attack, the Peshmerga are fighting modern American weaponry with out-of-date Soviet equipment.

Non-Western Countries Fed Up With Gay Agenda
Non-Western Countries Fed Up With Gay Agenda
Non-Western countries are getting fed up with the spread of the gay agenda in their countries. This has led one Russian lawmaker to promise that he will have the rainbow flag banned from his country after seeing it plastered all over social media.
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's legalization of so-called gay marriage, he says, "[T]he United States must have gone completely mad and now its gay delirium is threatening the entire civilized world."
"Billions of U.S. dollars will flood into gay propaganda all over the world, creating the grounds for 'rainbow revolutions,'" he warned.
Turkish authorities are apparently no more tolerant of their nation's values being challenged with attempts at subversion, either. On Sunday, a gay pride rally of around 100–200 people started in Istanbul.
It did not last long.
The city's police showed up in no time, prepared to break up the event. Employing pepper spray, rubber bullets and a water cannon, they managed to disperse the hundreds of activists.

Obama defies federal judge, fails to rescind wrongly issued amnesties
Obama defies federal judge, fails to rescind wrongly issued amnesties
The Obama administration still hasn’t fully rescinded the 2,000 three-year amnesties it wrongly issued four months ago in violation of a court order, government lawyers recently admitted in court, spurring a stern response from the judge who said the matter must be cleaned up by the end of July — or else.
It’s the latest black eye for President Obama’s amnesty policy and the immigration agency charged with carrying it out. The agency bungled the rollout, issuing three-year amnesties even while assuring the judge it had stopped all action hours after a Feb. 16 injunction.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency responsible for overseeing the amnesty, said it’s trying to round up all of the permits, sending out two-year amnesties and pleading with the illegal immigrants to return the three-year cards.
But they are having trouble getting some of the lucky recipients to send them back.
“USCIS is carefully tracking the returns of the three-year EAD cards, and many have been returned within weeks,” the agency said in a statement to The Washington Times. “USCIS continues to take steps to collect the remaining three-year EAD cards.”
The agency didn’t answer specific questions about how many remain outstanding, nor about what methods will be used to claw back the ones that folks refuse to return.
The three-year deportation amnesty was part of Mr. Obama’s November 2014 announcement when he proposed granting a three-year tentative deportation amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. It was to be a massive expansion, in both eligibility and duration, of his 2012 amnesty, which granted two-year amnesty to so-called Dreamers.
Judge Andrew S. Hanen blocked the expansion in February, issuing an injunction that remains in place even as the administration appeals it to a higher court. The next hearing on that appeal is due July 10.
But Judge Hanen was shocked to learn that USCIS issued the 2,000 three-year amnesties even after he’d issued his injunction.
“I expect you to resolve the 2,000; I’m shocked that you haven’t,” Judge Hanen told the Justice Department at a hearing last week, according to the San Antonio Express-News. “If they’re not resolved by July 31, I’m going to have to figure out what action to take.”
Homeland Security says it’s changed the duration of the work permits from three years to two years in its computer systems, but getting the cards returned from the illegal immigrants themselves is tougher.
Wild Thing's comment..............
I hope Judge Hanen does something more than just be shocked. Hope his action has traction.But I am not holding my breath.
