First Navy SEAL Congressman in History: Obama Created Environment Where Islamic Terrorism Could Flourish

First Navy SEAL Congressman in History: Obama Created Environment Where Islamic Terrorism Could Flourish:

“There’s a reason why we’re in retreat everywhere across the globe, Congressman Zinke continued. “This administration has consistently acted from a viewpoint that you can negotiate with terrorism. You cannot negotiate with organizations that are based on an ideology whose core is to destroy the West and America,” he said.

Rep. Zinke told the Beacon that terrorist groups like ISIS can’t be defeated with Obama’s rhetoric. "

Chinese spend thousands persuading U.S. schools to promote their language, culture

Chinese spend thousands persuading U.S. schools to promote their language, culture « Watchdog.org
"In 2005, Chinese officials were trying to open a Confucius Institute at the University of Oklahoma and invited Paul Bell Jr., the then-College of Arts and Sciences dean, to fly to a conference in Beijing as “one of our special guests.”
...The Chinese paid more than $2,000 to fly Bell to China and an unknown amount more for lodging, records obtained by Watchdog.org under state open records laws show.
A year later, as he led to the effort to establish the institute on campus, the consulate again paid most of the travel expenses — also thousands of dollars — for Bell to fly to China and discuss implementation of the institute, records show.
Hanban covered airfare, accommodations, meals and tour expenses, the invitation noted.
In the past decade, the Chinese have opened hundreds of the institutes and classrooms in universities, high schools and even elementary schools in the United States and around the world in an attempt to teach Chinese language, culture and to increase cultural understanding.
But, as Watchdog.org reported in October, a growing number of academics caution the institutes are propaganda arms of the Chinese government."

"It also spurred new criticism from Republicans, who along with vets groups, had called on Obama to visit the hospital located a mile from the school where he spoke.

“It is a testament to this president’s misplaced priorities that he would choose a photo op for his next executive action over visiting the VA hospital where veterans died on secret government waiting lists instead of getting care,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement Thursday afternoon."

Venezuelans Throng Grocery Stores Under Military Protection

Venezuelans Throng Grocery Stores Under Military Protection - Bloomberg:
"Shoppers thronged grocery stores across Caracas today as deepening shortages led the government to put Venezuela’s food distribution under military protection.
Long lines, some stretching for blocks, formed outside grocery stores in the South American country’s capital as residents search for scarce basic items such as detergent and chicken.
“I’ve visited six stores already today looking for detergent -- I can’t find it anywhere,” said Lisbeth Elsa, a 27-year-old janitor, waiting in line outside a supermarket in eastern Caracas.
“We’re wearing our dirty clothes again because we can’t find it.
At this point I’ll buy whatever I can find.”
A dearth of foreign currency exacerbated by collapsing oil prices has led to shortages of imports from toilet paper to car batteries, and helped push annual inflation to 64 percent in November.
The lines will persist as long as price controls remain in place, Luis Vicente Leon, director of Caracas-based polling firm Datanalisis, said today in a telephone interview."

Muslims Avenge the Prophet - Eagle Rising

Muslims Avenge the Prophet - Eagle Rising:

"But, now, Obama's 'tween a rock and a hard place. People are getting wise to his cowardice and perfidy. He has to say something when a bunch of folks, who make their daily bread by poking fun at politics and general baloney, get shot up by jerks shouting "Allahu Akbar" ... or whatever it is cowards spew when they murder innocent strangers while avenging the Prophet.

So he offers up some lame and barely respectful sympathetic bromide and in another breath (maybe before the events of yesterday...I cannot fathom even him saying anything at all critical of  the French writers now ...or ever!) he says the writers at the satirical periodical should have been more "careful" or "judicial" or something lame-wristed like that. I only agree if Obama means the magazine in Paris should have been sandbagged and prickly with 50. caliber M-2s. "

These Are the Satirical French Cartoons the Gunmen Didn't Want You to See

These Are the Satirical French Cartoons the Gunmen Didn't Want You to See - Mic:

"We have avenged the prophet."
 Those five words, reportedly said by one of the masked gunmen during the massacre, are a horrifying coda to years of threats and attacks against French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
On Wednesday morning, three men stormed its headquarters in Paris and killed as many as 12 people, including four famous cartoonists, and wounded several others in what's being called a terrorist attack of "exceptional barbarity" by the French government.
But what made Charlie Hebdo a target in the first place? 
In 2006, Charlie Hebdo, along with several other European newspapers, republished a Danish cartoon that caricatured the Islamic prophet Muhammad in a series of 12 pictures.
In one of them, Muhammad is depicted wearing a turban shaped like a bomb with a burning fuse.
The unflattering images sparked violent protests around the world.
Two Muslim organizations sued for "incitement to hatred," and the issue's executive editor, Philippe Val, was acquitted after he was taken to court.
The case was seen as an important test for freedom of expression in France."

Nebraska high court tosses Keystone XL challenge | WashingtonExaminer.com:

"Today’s court decision wipes out President Obama’s last excuse,” said Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. “He’s had six years to approve a project that will increase U.S. energy supplies and create closer ties with our nearest ally and neighbor, and he’s refused to act. Regardless of whatever new excuse he may come up with, Congress is moving forward.”

Republicans and centrist Democrats want Obama to green light the pipeline because they say it will create jobs — the State Department forecast 35 permanent jobs and 42,100 temporary ones during the two-year construction phase — and strengthen energy security by getting supplies from Canada."

Hollande Daze :: SteynOnline

Hollande Daze :: SteynOnline:
"The French authorities killed three murderous savages yesterday.
That was the only good news on a day in which a third hostage siege began in Montpellier.
The bad news started at the top, with President Hollande's statement after the Charlie Hebdo slaughter and the Kosher grocery siege:

"Those who committed these acts have nothing to do with the Muslim religion."

Yeah, right. I would use my standard line on these occasions - "Allahu Akbar" is Arabic for "Nothing to see here" - but it's not quite as funny when the streets are full of cowards, phonies and opportunists waving candles and pencils and chanting "Je suis Charlie."
Because if you really were Charlie, if you really were one of the 17 Frenchmen and women slaughtered in the name of Allah in little more than 48 hours, you'd utterly despise a man who could stand up in public and utter those words."

NBC's Andrea Mitchell Frets Over Muslims 'Under Fire' in Europe:

"One day after a brutal terrorist attack in Paris by Islamic radicals, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell spent much of her Thursday show wringing her hands over Muslims in France and Europe being "under fire."
Talking to Muslim Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, Mitchell worried:
"This is a challenge for France, which has had a lot of negative legal actions and restrictive laws and a large Muslim community....What is the challenge as they approach this manhunt to not begin racial or religious profiling?"
 In a follow-up question, she proclaimed:
"And there were reports in the French press today that three mosques may have been targeted in some way, three mosques in France....it's really going to be incumbent upon French and world leaders and European leaders, where immigration and the Muslim population has been under fire.""

Le Pen May Gain as Magazine Attack Strains French Divide - Businessweek:
France’s Front National leader Marine Le Pen pinned the blame for the killing of 12 people in Paris yesterday on Islamic radicals, as mainstream leaders tried to downplay the religious dimension of the attack.
While President Francois Hollande called for national unity in an attempt to deter the public from demonizing the country’s 5-million strong Muslim community, 
Le Pen said France has to confront the beliefs of the gunmen who stormed the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
“Time’s up for denial and hypocrisy,” Le Pen, who has railed against immigration, said in a video posted on her party’s website.
“The absolute rejection of Islamic fundamentalism must be proclaimed loudly and clearly.”

"Speaking publicly for the first time since the tragedy, Harper did not mince words, telling Canadians, “The fact of the matter is this, ladies and gentlemen, that the international jihadist movement has declared war.” Adding, “They have declared war on anybody who does not think and act exactly as they wish would think and act.”

A very calm Harper talked about the radical islamists waging war on “a whole range of countries with which they are in contact.”

6 Times The Obama Administration Said Its Job Was to Promote Islam

6 Times The Obama Administration Said Its Job Was to Promote Islam - Breitbart
On Thursday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest announced that the Obama administration would prioritize fighting Islamophobia in the aftermath of the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo in France. 

Never mind that most Westerners aren’t Islamophobic, but rather gettingShotInTheFaceForExpressingMyOpinion-Phobic.

The real problem, according to the Obama administration, is lack of leadership in defending Islam:

There are some individuals that are using a peaceful religion and grossly distorting it, and trying to use its tenets to inspire people around the globe to carry out acts of violence. And we have enjoyed significant success in enlisting leaders in the Muslim community, like I said, both in the United States and around the world to condemn that kind of messaging, to condemn those efforts to radicalize individuals, and to be clear about what the tenets of Islam actually are.  And we’re going to redouble those efforts in the days and weeks ahead.

This, of course, is not the first time the Obama administration has discovered a duty to illuminate the inherent beauty and wonder of Islam. Over and over again, the Obama administration, in high culturally imperialist dudgeon, has attempted to explain to the world the true meaning of Islam.

"Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula directed the attack against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris “as revenge for the honor” of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, a member of the group told The Associated Press on Friday.

At least one of the two brothers involved in the attack travelled to Yemen in 2011 and either received training from or fought alongside the group, according to U.S. and Yemeni officials. A U.S. intelligence assessment described to the AP shows that Said Kouachi was trained in preparation to return home and carry out an attack."

The Grover Norquist Show: Leave Vapers Alone! | Americans for Tax Reform:
"As I've written before, the top target for tax increases at the state level in 2014 was electronic cigarettes and vapor products. 
Politicians, looking to protect their monopoly on cigarette sales and compensate for declining tobacco revenues again have e-cigarettes in their sights in 2015.  
Raising the cost of products that will unquestionably save lives makes little sense at face value.
To do so in the name of filling budget holes, "protecting children," or simply expanding the definition of tobacco products is even worse."

U.S. executives wary of hiring millennials: self-involved and disloyal, survey finds

U.S. executives wary of hiring millennials: self-involved and disloyal, survey finds:
"‘Parenting styles of recent decades far too enthusiastic about instilling self-esteem,’ social scientist says
As the calendar flips to a new year, the world turns a little grayer.
Another year of college graduates prepares to face the harsh realities of the workplace, slowly but surely remaking the labor force in the image of the millennial.
Much has been documented about how millennials differ from previous generations by having grown up in an era of instantaneous communication and perpetual media exposure.
But are employers responding to these differences?
According to the latest Duke/CFO Magazine Global Business Outlook Survey, not quite.
The survey of chief financial officers found that nearly 60 percent in the United States say their firms are not adapting to attract potential millennial employees, defined in the survey as those under 35.
Companies consider millennials a mixed proposition because while they “offer technological and creative advantages, they tend to be less loyal to the company and require more management oversight,” according to the survey’s press release.
More than half the surveyed CFOs think millennials are more interested in their own career and personal development and less loyal to the company. 
Slightly fewer (46 percent) say that younger workers seem to be more entitled than older peers, and 31 percent believe that they require closer supervision."

“The only thing that will work is finding our principles right now,” Beck said. “We are spending so much time talking about how much we despise these people who are doing these things to us, these people who are getting away with murder. We’re not spending enough time talking about the principles that have to be restored. … Restoring principles doesn’t lead to extermination camps. Talking about how much we hate people does. And Europe is going down that road yet again.”

Click link to see "offensive", murderous cartoons-----Charlie Hebdo and its biting satire, explained in 9 of its most iconic covers

Charlie Hebdo and its biting satire, explained in 9 of its most iconic covers - Vox:

"Masked gunmen on Wednesday attacked the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French magazine known for its biting humor — and, more specifically, for a string of satirical cartoons about Islam and the Prophet Muhammed.

Charlie Hebdo, whose name translates roughly to "Charlie Weekly," is a weekly publication that covers French politics through cartoons, satirical articles, and jokes. Although its editor-in-chief Stéphane Charbonnier, who was killed in the attack, has said that he considered the magazine a leftist-pluralist publication, its stance can perhaps better be described as anti-institutional. Its biting satire habitually targeted the government, high-profile politicians, and organized religion. The magazine was founded in 1969, and was resurrected in 1992 following a three-year hiatus.

Those cartoons have provoked a backlash against the magazine in the past, including a firebomb attack on its offices in 2011. But for the editors of the magazine, the offense was the point: the cartoons were directed as much at public sanctimony about Islam and multiculturalism as they were at their nominal subjects. They believed that the short-term decision to avoid offense would damage French secular culture in the longer term.
