Robert Spencer at Breitbart: “Allahu akbar” doesn’t mean what media says it means
"Over at Breitbart today I explain how the phrase “Allahu akbar” means almost everything — except what the establishment media says it means:
Media outlets routinely mangle the true meaning of “Allahu akbar,” the ubiquitous battle cry of Islamic jihadists as they commit mass murder.
The war-cry is mistranslated in the Western media as “God is great.” 
But the actual meaning is “Allah is greater,” meaning Allah Is Greater Than Your God or Government.
It is the aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it.
One primary purpose of shouting is to “strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah.”
Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta made this explicit in his letter to himself before carrying out his jihad mission:
“When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” 
This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted it as he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009, and why so many other jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement that non-Muslims are about to die..."

Why Don't Media Treat Islamist Terror Attacks Like White Supremacist Terror Attacks? | Daily Wire

Why Don't Media Treat Islamist Terror Attacks Like White Supremacist Terror Attacks? | Daily Wire:

"The answer lies in a serious problem of bias. The media believe that Americans, by and large, are racist Islamophobes. They are the problem. They’re the problem if perpetrators are Muslim, in which case the backlash from non-Muslim Americans must be pre-emptively curbed; they’re the problem if the perpetrators are white supremacists, in which case Americans must answer for their supposed connections to white supremacism.

That’s nonsense. If we’re going to start attributing terrorist ideologies to broader movements, we’re going to have to abide by that rule across the board; if, by contrast, we’re going to distinguish terrorist ideologies from other ideologies, let’s do that across the board."

500 Years Ago Today, Western Civilization Was Changed FOREVER

500 Years Ago Today, Western Civilization Was Changed FOREVER:

"On October 31, 1517, Luther took a total of 95 grievances, tilted the “Disputation on the Power of Indulgences,” and posted it to the church door in Wittenburg, Germany. The 95 theses were designed to stimulate academic debate, not the massive grassroots movement that ended up sweeping up the continent.
After Luther posted the grievances, locals got a hold of them, printed them out, and sent them all over Germany. The Roman Catholic Church came under fire when the people read Luther’s grievances."

Judge Roy Moore identifies biggest threats to U.S.

Judge Roy Moore identifies biggest threats to U.S.:

"Much ado has been made in recent political campaigns about identifying America’s biggest threat. Is it ISIS? Russia? China? North Korea?
Actually, the greatest threats to the United States and the preservation of its freedoms come from within, Republican Alabama Senate nominee Judge Roy Moore believes.
Moore became the GOP nominee for the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now U.S. attorney general, by defeating establishment-endorsed Luther Strange in the primary. He will face Democratic nominee Doug Jones in the Dec. 12 election.
Moore told WND the greatest threats are America’s domestic enemies: Marxists and Democratic leadership who are intent on expanding the role of the federal government and steering Americans away from belief in God."

"This Could Be Huge": Gold Bar Certified By Royal Canadian Mint Exposed As Fake | Zero Hedge

"This Could Be Huge": Gold Bar Certified By Royal Canadian Mint Exposed As Fake | Zero Hedge:
"The last time there was a widespread physical gold counterfeiting scare was in the summer of 2012 when as we reported the discovery of a single 10 oz Tungsten-filled gold bar in Manhattan's jewelry district led to a panic among the dealer community, which then resulted in local jewelry outlets discovering at least ten more fake 10-ounce "gold bars" filled with Tungsten. 
Fast forward to today when a similar instance of gold counterfeiting has been discovered, this time in Canada, and where the fake bar in question had been "certified" by the highest possible authority.

According to CBC, the Royal Canadian Mint is investigating how a sealed, "pure gold" wafer with proper mint stampings has emerged as a fake. 
According to the Canadian press, the one-ounce gold piece, which was supposed to be 99.99% pure, was purchased by an Ottawa jeweller on Oct. 18 at a Royal Bank of Canada branch. 
The problem emerged when tests of the bar showed it may contain no gold at all.
And, when neither the mint nor RBC would take the bar back, jeweler Samuel Tang contacted CBC news..."

Millennial snowflakes expect an easy ride in the Navy - Washington Times

Millennial snowflakes expect an easy ride in the Navy - Washington Times
"The British Navy ruled the seas and built an empire with wooden ships and iron men. 
The United States Navy fought and won World War II with iron ships manned by iron men. 
Sadly, today’s Navy more resembles iron ships manned by girly men — (and many of them are girls).
In recent months, I’ve had the opportunity to read the results of Navy command climate surveys designed to take the temperature of morale among the crews of various ships. 
I haven’t experienced such whining since the last time I housebroke a puppy. 
From the nature of the complaints, I’d say that the worst day experienced by the sailors aboard ships surveyed would be a pretty good day in a Marine Corps infantry battalion or aircraft squadron.
The problem with the Navy is that many of its enlisted sailors are millennial snowflakes who still think and act like civilians. 
Their great-grandfathers worked 12-hour shifts, and sometimes remained at battle stations for days at a time. 
Discipline was tough and the failure to meet standards was time in the brig on bread and water.
These kids seem to want a participation trophy for just showing up for duty..."

"Our nation’s leftist progressives have long sought to undermine the American values expressed in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.

Michigan resisting challenge to ban on straight-party voting | State-region | petoskeynews.com
DETROIT (AP) — The results of the 2016 election are being replayed in federal court as the state of Michigan defends a Republican-backed law that would abolish straight-party voting, an easy ballot option that's especially popular in urban areas that go Democratic.
The law was suspended last year by a judge who said an end to straight-party ballots could cause long lines and place a disproportionate burden on black voters. 
Now, after months of analysis by experts, that same judge must decide whether the lawsuit should go to trial or be dismissed in favor of the state.
Straight-party voting is the act of making a single mark on a ballot to pick candidates of one party, from president to county commissioner. It's been in practice for more than 100 years in Michigan and is widely held in urban areas; Detroit's rate was 80 percent in 2016.
...Only a handful of states allow straight-party voting. 
Barton said it's implausible that more than 40 states that don't offer it have violated the U.S. Constitution "without anyone noticing...."

Philosophy Professor Tells Bisexual Student Who Criticized Islam 'We're Not Going to Let You Damage the Program' - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Philosophy Professor Tells Bisexual Student Who Criticized Islam 'We're Not Going to Let You Damage the Program' - Hit & Run : Reason.com

"A bisexual male student at the University of Texas–San Antonio said during an informal conversation outside class that he was uncomfortable with Islam because people still receive the death penalty for being gay in 10 Muslim-majority countries.

For expressing this thought, the student—Alfred MacDonald, who no longer attends the school—was instructed to meet with the chair of the philosophy department, Eve Browning. Prof. Browning told MacDonald in no uncertain terms that he had committed the crime of "offending" someone, and she warned him that his habit of saying what he thinks could bring down the entire program. 

She threatened to call the Behavior Intervention Team and refer MacDonald to counseling. She did everything but send him to Room 101.

Unfortunately for Browning, MacDonald secretly recorded their conversation. 

The transcript, first publicized by Gay Star News, is incredible.

"We have not designed our program to tolerate these behaviors," Brown tells MacDonald at one point. Later she adds, "We're not going to let you damage the program."..."

Not because it’s racist?

"Dickinson College says it’s investigating a photo of an alleged student in a Halloween costume based on controversial and unaffiliated professional football player Colin Kaepernick.

Joyce Bylander, dean of student life, told the private Pennsylvania college community on Facebook Sunday night that she received the photo “this weekend” and it was “deeply offensive and reflected the exercise of very poor judgment.”

But she made clear that the white male’s imitation of an athlete with a white mother and black father was not the grounds for the investigation; rather, it was the appearance of a gun pointing at the alleged student..."

Will America’s Prosperity Be Completely Wiped Out By Our Growing Debt?

Will America’s Prosperity Be Completely Wiped Out By Our Growing Debt?
"The federal government is now 20.4 trillion dollars in debt, and most Americans don’t seem to care that the economic prosperity that we are enjoying today could be completely destroyed by our exploding national debt.  
Over the past decade, the national debt has been growing at a rate of more than 100 million dollars an hour, and this is a debt that all of us owe.  
When you break it down, each American citizen’s share of the debt is more than $60,000, and so if you have a family of five your share is more than $300,000.  
And when you throw in more than 6 trillion dollars of corporate debt and nearly 13 trillion dollars of consumer debt, it is not inaccurate to say that we are facing a crisis of unprecedented magnitude.

Debt cannot grow much faster than GDP indefinitely.  
At some point the bubble bursts, and when it does the pain that the middle class is going to experience is going to be off the charts..."

ACLJ Demands Documents on the Obama Administration’s Uranium One Nuclear Debacle | American Center for Law and Justice:

"In 2010, the Obama administration approved the sale of a controlling stake in Uranium One, and with it, control over 20% of America’s uranium production capacity, to Rosatom, an energy conglomerate owned and controlled by the Russian government. The Russians obtained total control of Uranium One by 2013, and by extension control over a large portion of America’s strategic nuclear resources.

This approval was granted by the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS).

This week, we sent legal demands to multiple agencies involved in that process to expose what the Obama Administration knew when they approved the controversial transfer in light of the fact that:"

6 charts that explain why American politics is so broken - Vox:
1) Pew splits the politically engaged public into eight groups

Pew Research CenterIn analyzing how the responses differed, Pew ended up dividing politically engaged voters into eight groups. Among Republicans, the “Core Conservatives” — traditional GOP voters — is the largest and most engaged group. “Country First Conservatives,” who we might think of as anti-immigration Trump fans, are relatively small in comparison. Then, two GOP-leaning groups that tend to get less attention in punditry are “Market Skeptic Republicans,” who stand out for their concern about the economic system favoring the powerful, and “New Era Enterprisers” (they’re pretty moderate on social issues but economically conservative).

For Democrats, meanwhile, the party’s base is represented by “Solid Liberals.” But Pew also concludes there are blocs of “Opportunity Democrats” (who are less concerned with discrimination and tend to have a more optimistic view of how hard work can lead to success), “Disaffected Democrats” (who think the American dream is out of reach and are generally cynical about the system), and “Devout and Diverse” (kind of a grab bag of mostly Democrat-leaning voters who are more conservative on one issue or another). Finally, there are “Bystanders” who aren’t engaged in the political process at all.
