In the Wake of Three American Beheadings by Muslim Terrorists, Ben Affleck Passionately Defends Islam

In the Wake of Three American Beheadings by Muslim Terrorists, Ben Affleck Passionately Defends Islam:

"Ben Affleck fans may find themselves scratching their heads over not only his emotional response in defending Islam, following the beheading of three Americans by Muslims terrorists, but even more so by the words that he uttered in defense of Islam."

Send Ben and the rest of liberal Hollywood a message; stop supporting their films!

Bye-Bye Ben!

BREAKING: Source Claims Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi to Be Released

BREAKING: Source Claims Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi to Be Released:

"Having crossed just feet into Mexico with these firearms has cost the veteran nearly eight months of his life as he has lingered in a Mexican jail cell as his combat-induced PTSD has worsened while President Obama has done nothing to secure the release of the Marine. "

Could Barack Obama Be Deported Over Using a Fraudulent Birth Certificate? Yes, Says Former DOJ Attorney

Could Barack Obama Be Deported Over Using a Fraudulent Birth Certificate? Yes, Says Former DOJ Attorney:

"Larry Klayman, a former U.S. Department of Justice attorney, who also founded Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, as well as being the first attorney in history to have obtained a court ruling that a President of the United States (Bill Clinton) had committed a crime, is suing to get Barack Obama deported from the United States."


I wonder if he would try to use the Dream Act. 

Obama Claims We’re Better Off Economically; Meanwhile, Guess How Many Americans are on Food Stamps…

Obama Claims We’re Better Off Economically; Meanwhile, Guess How Many Americans are on Food Stamps…:

"To put it another way: more than 46 million Americans each month rely upon the government to put food in their mouths. While this may seem innocuous, one should wonder what the voting habits of these 46+ million are; are they more likely to vote for lawmakers who spur innovation and opportunity? Or are they more likely to vote for those who keep the “free” benefits flowing?"

Obama Praises the Mosque of the Oklahoma Beheader? Yes, He Did

Obama Praises the Mosque of the Oklahoma Beheader? Yes, He Did:

"Yet, despite these events and this evidence supporting that this was a case of jihad in America, Barack Obama has said nothing about Hufford’s beheading. His silence has been eerily deafening as some in government, and some liberal pundits,  have declared this to be workplace violence. In fact, on the Saturday after Hufford’s beheading at the hands of a Muslim jihadist, Obama did not even mention the incident. Instead, in his weekly address, he talked about how, at least in his view, America is leading in the world."


The president has betrayed the American people.  The enemy lies within.

Is video "proof" that something didn't happen, enough?-----Catalonia passes historic anti-homophobia law

EUobserver / Catalonia passes historic anti-homophobia law:
BRUSSELS - Catalonia’s new anti-homophobe legislation could see offenders fined up to €14,000 for attacks carried out against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals (LGTB).
“Without sanctions, this law would be a mere statement of intent.
This is meant as a deterrent,” Anna Simo, of the leftist Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), was quoted as saying in El Pais.
The legislation requires a person accused of homophobia to prove their innocence in a twist which has drawn criticism from the autonomous community’s Catholic base and conservative political groups alike.
Bishops of Catalonia over the weekend expressed some reservations that the law could also erode a person’s presumption of innocence.
The conservative Popular Party (PP) and the Catalan nationalists of Unio had vetoed the law but were outnumbered by the Catalan socialists and other left wing groups.

Allen West Unleashes Powerful Anti-Obama Rant:

“No B. Hussein,” West concluded, “we’re not better off than we were six years ago – and sadly we still have two more years of you. Go ahead and make your speech at Northwestern University, because everyone other than your kool-aid drinking progressive socialist acolytes ain’t listening to your lies anymore.”

Isn't it amazing the "fix" is always more money?------The Ebola Outbreak Shows Why the Global Health System Is Broken

The Ebola Outbreak Shows Why the Global Health System Is Broken - Businessweek:
"At the end of last week, the World Health Organization declared the West African Ebola outbreak an international health emergency. 
The move was largely symbolic, however; the organization did not suggest trade and travel restrictions, a reflection of the slim chances of a global epidemic. 
Even in the West African countries where the disease has spread, it’s still far down the list of killers.
Over the past few months infections such as malaria and tuberculosis have caused far more deaths in the region than Ebola.
At the same time, the Ebola outbreak is a wake-up call to governments everywhere:
The international health system is broken. 
Preventing a recurrence of this tragedy will require more money and attention on global progress against infectious disease and epidemics.
As of Aug. 6, 1,779 cases of Ebola had been reported to the WHO, including 961 deaths.
Of the four countries affected, Sierra Leone (with 717 cases) has suffered the worst.
The country’s first reported Ebola deaths were in April this year.
In approximately four months, Sierra Leone suffered a total of 298 deaths.
More are surely to come."

And why do they think that, congressman?--------Rep. Elijah Cummings says black Americans fear Secret Service is racist

Rep. Elijah Cummings says black Americans fear Secret Service is racist - Washington Times:
Rep. Elijah Cummings said Sunday that a majority of black Americans, excluding himself, fear the Secret Service is failing to adequately protect President Obama due to racism.

“Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer suggested that many members of the black community are worried the Secret Service would better protect a white president.
“Eighty-five percent of all African-Americans that come to me mention what you just said, and I don’t agree with it,” said Mr. Cummings, Mediaite reported.
The Maryland Democrat argued that the problem with the Secret Service predates Mr. Obama’s presidency.
“We have information that this goes all the way back to the Bush administration, a lot of the problems that we’re talking about now. 
It’s just that they’re coming to light,” he said.

VIDEO: Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano SHREDS the Anti-Gun Narrative: ‘More Guns Equals Less Crime’

VIDEO: Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano SHREDS the Anti-Gun Narrative: ‘More Guns Equals Less Crime’:

"Their flimsy narrative is threatened each and every time a good guy with a gun saves lives and advanced when a bad guy with a gun takes lives unnecessarily.
 When news emerged that a bad guy was stopped by a good guy with a gun, the coverage died down quicker than a bonfire in a flash flood.
 However, Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano did not let this narrative fade. Recently, the former judge beautifully outlined the situation and noted that lives were saved because of a concealed carry holder. "

Why Won’t Obama Ban Air Travel From Countries Where Ebola Is Out Of Control?

Why Won’t Obama Ban Air Travel From Countries Where Ebola Is Out Of Control?
Why does Barack Obama refuse to take

even the most basic steps to protect Americans from Ebola?  
Even though it
has already been demonstrated that Ebola can be brought over to the United
States by a passenger on an airplane, Obama refuses to do anything that would
even restrict air travel from nations where Ebola is spiraling out of control.  

Back in September, Obama said that it was "unlikely" that any
individual with Ebola could get through the "extensive screening" at
our airports and pose a threat to the general population.  

But he was
wrong.  

That has already happened.  

And yet the official White House
position is that there is "no consideration of a travel ban" at this
point.  

What possible explanation is there for such gross negligence?

All of this talk about
"extensive screening" at our airports is just a smokescreen because
it does not exist.  As Mike Adams of
Natural News has pointed out, Thomas Eric Duncan walked freely
through our airports and entered the general population without ever being
asked by U.S. security personnel about where he was from or if he had any
health conditions...

Ebola "patient zero"
Thomas Eric Duncan flew right into the United States and walked through the
international airports of both Washington D.C. and Dallas-Fort Worth. 

He was
never asked about his country of origin and was never screened for any health
conditions.

Why are people whose flights
originate in Liberia and Sierra Leone still allowed to openly travel to large
U.S. cities?

And nothing changed even after news
broke of a confirmed case of Ebola in Dallas.  

Just consider the following
excerpt from a CNN news story
that I included in a previous article...

CNN Senior
Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen said when she and two colleagues recently
returned from reporting in Liberia, they got a mixed bag of responses from
Customs and Border Protection officers.

“We all said we were journalists who had just been in Liberia
covering Ebola,” Cohen said. “One of my colleagues was told, ‘Oh, OK, welcome
back home, sir’ — and (was) just let in — that was it.”

Cohen
herself got a different response.

“I was told,
‘Wait a minute, I think I got an email about this,’ and the border patrol
officer went and consulted with his colleagues,” Cohen said.

That officer later told her she should check her system for 21
days.

“I said, ‘What should I be checking?’ And he wasn’t sure,” Cohen
said.

Barack Obama is either lying or he
is being grossly negligent when he says that we don't need to be concerned
about air travel from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone because of how good the
screening at our airports is.

When it comes to his primary
fundamental duty, he is completely dropping the ball. 

.....But the White House is not moving.

In fact, Press Secretary
Josh Earnest says that there is "no consideration of a
travel ban"...

There’s no consideration of a travel ban
at this point.  But I can tell you that there is -- well, let me
explain.  There are a couple of good reasons for that.  The first is
there is in place a very
sophisticated, multilayered screening system in place to ensure that the
traveling public is safe.

.....As with so many other things, it is hard to tell whether the Obama
administration is lying, is being completely incompetent or is pursuing some
sort of insidious agenda that we are now aware of yet.

Transparent California: Average annual California gov’t employee pension was $64,448 last year

Transparent California: Average annual California gov’t employee pension was $64,448 last year - EAGnews.org:
"SACRAMENTO, Calif. – CalPERS financial struggles are draining state taxpayers.
The ever-increasing contribution rates it demands from state and local governments have already bankrupted several cities.

......The U.S. Census reports that the median household income in California is $61,400. This includes households where two adults are working full-time. The data on Transparent California though shows that the average 2013 pension for those who worked 30 years or more and received a full year’s pension was $64,448 for the year.
For those who retired in 2000 or later, the average pension was $68,403."

Driverless cars a terrorist delight

Driverless cars a terrorist delight:
"Unless you have been on a desert island or a mountaintop with no news, you’ve no doubt heard about all the hacking.
Banks get hacked.
The Cloud gets hacked for nude photos of celebs.
The Department of Defense,
Army Command Center and White House have all been hacked.
Drones get hacked.
The F-35 Joint Strike fighter–the most expensive military plane in history–had its plans stolen from Lockheed-Martin by hackers (China?) –before the plane ever flew!
What’s next?
Driverless cars!
Driverless cars are a terrorist delight.

Major automakers all seem to be developing their own versions of driverless cars.
There’s no doubt the technology exists.
The latest Mercedes S-Class includes a lot of it.
The real issue is that the outcome could be that driverless cars are a terrorist delight!  
Imagine a driverless car, operated by hackers and filled with explosives, which could be driven or parked anywhere, and then detonated. 
No one would think a regular looking car was unusual—until it exploded! 
The new hacker gang–the Syrian Electronic Army–has already declared its intentions, and gained global credibility.
Who might be part of this SEA?
ISIS, perhaps?
Who know, or better yet, who should know?"

Iranian Prisoner of Conscience Executed for Different Interpretation of the Quran

Iranian Prisoner of Conscience Executed for Different Interpretation of the Quran:

"Mr. Mohsen Amir Aslani Zanjani, 37, a prisoner of conscience was hanged at dawn on September 24 in Gohardasht Prison, Karaj.
He had been charged with “corruption on Earth” because of a “different interpretation of the Quran” and “innovation in the principles and rules of the religion”."

Think about it.

Obamacare Costing Taxpayers $10,000 Per Insured Person - And Counting

Obamacare Costing Taxpayers $10,000 Per Insured Person - And Counting > IPI Issues > Institute for Policy Innovation:
"Health coverage was never so costly until President Obama decided to make it “affordable.”
Bloomberg News has tallied up the total cost to taxpayers of Obamacare so far: $73 billion and counting.
What Bloomberg didn’t do is compare that cost to the government’s latest estimate of the number of people who have obtained Obamacare coverage: 7.3 million, and possibly falling.
That means taxpayers have shelled out $10,000 per insured person.
Only a relatively small portion of that $73 billion went for actual subsidies to help people afford coverage, according to Bloomberg.
The large majority of the money was spent on health IT, exchange grants to get the state websites up and running, and contractor spending.
Most of those outlays have been miserable failures.

Why shouldn't our betters "manage" ALL our money?--------Poll shows sales tax increase favored to fix Michigan roads

Poll shows sales tax increase favored to fix Michigan roads:
"LANSING – More than 90% of Michigan voters say the state's roads are in lousy shape and a plurality are ready to pay more to fix them — with a one percentage point hike in the 6% sales tax being the most preferred funding option, according to a new poll.
But the importance of fixing the roads relative to other issues has slipped since spring, when Michigan's potholes were at their worst after a bitter winter, EPIC-MRA of Lansing found in a poll released exclusively to the Free Press, WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) and their statewide media polling partners.
Improving the roads ranked third in importance, just behind improving school funding and creating jobs.
A May survey by EPIC-MRA found roads were ranked the No. 1 issue for the first time."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Corporations That ‘Sponsor Climate Lies’ Should Get ‘Death Penalty’

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Corporations That ‘Sponsor Climate Lies’ Should Get ‘Death Penalty’:

In an op-ed published earlier this week for EcoWatch, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called for all organizations that “deliberately, purposefully, maliciously and systematically sponsor climate lies” to undergo the corporate equivalent of the death penalty.

“This can be accomplished through an existing legal proceeding known as ‘charter revocation,’” Kennedy wrote. “State Attorneys General can invoke this remedy whenever corporations put their profit-making before the ’public welfare.’”

He likens organizations that produce research promoting job-creating industries, such as The Heritage Foundation, to the tobacco industry:

Like the Tobacco Institute and CTR, these front groups are snake pits for sociopaths. Run by venomous carbon industry toadies, they stable a craven menagerie of propaganda wizards, slick biostitutes, tobacco scientists, snake oil hucksters, voodoo economists and other so called “experts” employed to publish beguiling studies, appear on TV and radio, and write deceptive articles critiquing the “flawed science” predicting climate change.
