Benjamin Netanyahu’s Reply To A BBC Reporter
About Negotiating With Abbas Is Pure Gold
About Negotiating With Abbas Is Pure Gold
BBC News -- The BBC didn’t write much about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s tell-it-like-it-is answer to its reporter’s question about why he doesn’t return to the negotiating table with the Palestinians.
The British network said Netanyahu “angrily questioned” Lyse Doucet, noting that he’s been “calling day in, day out, in every forum… I’ve called on President Abbas to resume unconditional negotiations immediately.”
But the exchange was even better than that.
“Are we living on the same planet?” Netanyahu incredulously snapped at her question, adding that he’s called on Abbas to resume talks at the United Nations, the U.S. Congress, in Jerusalem, in Tel Aviv. “I haven’t done so in Nepal, because I haven’t visited it.”
“I’ve called on President Abbas to resume unconditional negotiations immediately. Right now, as we speak, we can meet. I have no problem with that. I think we should stop immediately this wave of incitement against Israel and these attacks…I’m willing to meet him, he’s not willing to meet me,” he continued.
“And you ask me about the resumption of negotiations? Come on, get with the program. These people don’t want negotiations. They’re inciting for violence. Direct your questions to them.”
Blog Author's Comments -- The BBC reporter was chastised because of her lame question to Benjamin Netanyahu and rightly so. He said "come on, get with the program. These people don’t want negotiations. They’re inciting for violence." It really is too bad that America does not have a leader who is even close to the quality of Netanyahu, what a great country we could once again be. Every time I see or hear him speak it reminds me of what a real leader is and how pathetic and weak Barack Obama is.
Abbas the President of the State of Palestine does not care if they reach "agreement" with Israel much like Arafat. Abbas has no intention of living up to any "agreement" they would reach, so he continues the attacks on Israel. That is just what the Muslims do. And the Secretary of State, John Kerry, with direction from Obama continues to blame Israel for the problems between Israel and Palestine as though it is the fault of Israel. I think that I know which side Obama is on.

Sen. Ted Cruz: Democrat Debate Was More Socialism, Pacifism, Weakness
Excellent assessment by Senator Cruz about the state of the Democrat party. Keep your eye on him, he’s running a very steady, determined and focused campaign. His deliberate approach continues to pay off.
Blog Author's Comments -- Ted Cruz said - "We’re seeing our freedoms taken away every day" and the Democrat debate was an audition "for who would wear the jackboot most vigorously." No better description of the liberal group running for president.
They want to spend more money and from what I have seen they are trying to see who can promise to give their ignorant voters the most free stuff. “Every one of the Democratic candidates is agreed on doubling down on the failed Obama strategies." "So it was really quite interesting for America to see each and every Democratic candidate explain how they’re every bit as socialist as Bernie Sanders is.”
If Hillary Clinton is the Democrat nominee, and if she would win, she will govern just as Obama has for his two terms in office and he has been the worst president in the history of our country doing all he can to trash America.

School Suspends Eighth-Grader For Wearing Shirt Supporting Troops
Mediaite--An Oregon middle schooler was suspended recently for wearing a shirt to school supporting American troops because the shirt had a picture of a rifle on it.
Alan Holmes‘ shirt read ‘Standing for those who stood for us,’ and featured an image of a “battlefield cross,” an arrangement of a troop’s boots, helmet, and gun that commonly serves as a memorial for fallen comrades. But Dexter McCarty Middle School’s vice principal and principal asked Holmes to change.
The eighth-grader — whose brother served in the Marines — refused to change into a school shirt. “They won’t let us support the people who keep us free, I’m not going to support them,” he told a local Fox affiliate.
When his father learned the reason his son was suspended, he defended Alan and went to the press. “I would have done the same thing,” he said.
Blog Author's Comments -- Do adults still run most schools? Over the past few years in many schools it does not seem so. The theme of the shirt was support for our military, not support for guns. I feel sad for my country when I realize that there are so many terrible "educators" in charge of the children in many schools.

Hillary Clinton Could Be The Next Liar-In-Chief
Blog Author's Comments - Is Hillary Clinton a pathological liar? I believe she is. The problem is she is not very good at it. Those who follow politics and think for themselves know what she is. But, the same people who voted for Obama as President twice could vote for her no matter what she has done. I am hopeful that some Democrats wake up and realize the type of person Clinton is and vote to save our country.

Pelosi Promotes Transfer Of Gitmo Detainees
To U.S. Soil, Citing 'Economic Opportunity'
To U.S. Soil, Citing 'Economic Opportunity'
Free Beacon -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Tuesday that Illinois residents would welcome the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to their state because of the “economic opportunity” their detention would provide.
“The people in Illinois were looking forward to having some people transferred there—they saw it as economic opportunity, as you may recall,” Pelosi said during her weekly press conference.
Democrats have been working to help President Obama fulfill his pledge to close the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The military has been told to speed up its review of the prison’s 114 detainees so they can be transferred elsewhere.
The U.S. classifies Guantanamo Bay detainees as enemy combatants. Democrats have long objected to the treatment of these detainees, many of whom have not been tried in U.S. criminal court. Instead, detainees are usually tried before separate military commissions, although some are held without charge under the authority of the Authorization for Use of Military Force passed by Congress following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Blog Author's Comments - Economic opportunity? Who stands to benefit from this opportunity? Oh wait, the lawyers. Perhaps this delusional woman would like the terrorists transferred to her district in California.

Bill Whittle On Guns, Global Homicide Rates, And Gun Control
Back in January, this Firewall video by Bill Whittle on guns and homicide rates globally was posted. In light of the current acrimonious debate about gun control after the recent shooting at an Oregon community college, now seems an appropriate time to repost Whittle's words of wisdom.
Blog Author's Comments - Perhaps someone should send this video to the President when he talks about passing more gun laws. Also, gun-free zones which the liberals think are great are actually useless but they don't seem to understand that these will never work. 92% of mass shootings since 2009 have occurred in gun-free zones. What Wayne Lapierre of the NRA said is quite true…”the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.” The common sense conclusion is that more gun control laws will not stop the person who wants to commit a mass shooting or the many criminals that exist within our society.

After Every Mass Shooting, WaPo Sends Out Its Gun Control Message
Truth Revolt -- The dust has barely settled on the Umpqua Community College campus in Oregon after Thursday's mass shooting but The Washington Post is already sending out its "11 essential facts about guns and mass shootings in America."
It's something they have already done previously and promise to do after every mass shooting. Adapted to reflect the most recent incident, they once again hope to "explore America's unique role among advanced countries as a place where support for guns is widespread -- as is violence involving firearms."
Provided are 11 questions with answers about gun violence in the U.S. and gun control. In some cases, these answers just point to another liberally biased publication, Mother Jones, and the information they've gathered in charts and graphs compiled about shooting sprees in America.
"America is an unusually violent country," and "the South is the most violent region in the United States," are just some of the provided information courtesy of WaPo, ensuring the narrative is clear; gun-nuts love guns and love to shoot people, because "more guns tend to mean more homicide."
But Americans will probably just end up continuing to cling to their guns and religion, and the Post admits that, too: "Shootings don't tend to substantially affect views on gun control."
"In fact," the article concludes, "for the first in more than 20 years, Americans showed more support for gun rights than gun control."
The Second Amendment is indeed a tough pill to swallow for liberals.
Blog Author's Comments -- The Washington Post probably has an anti-gun article generator program installed on every computer on site that can spit out something at a moments notice. What else would one expect from this far left paper? The leftists don't seem to understand that all mass shootings cannot be stopped. Less than six hours after the mass shooting in Roseburg, Ore., President Obama called a press conference to demand new gun laws. Is anyone surprised at this? The school was just what the left wants, a 'gun free zone' where everyone is powerless against a mad man with a gun who wants to kill as many people as he can. But, Obama and the Democrats want to hurt the law-abiding gun owners.
Gun control laws have not worked nor will they work to curb tragedies such as this either in mass or individually, for at their heart they target law-abiding citizens rather than the miscreants who would use a gun to deprive others of their lives or property. Additional gun control laws to place heavier restrictions on those who abide by the law only invites more, not less gun violence. Many politicians coldly ignore the obvious to score political points and jump at the chance to never let a crisis or tragedy go to waste.

Breitbart -- According to the Chicago Tribune, 14 people were shot in a 15 hour window this week. Six people were killed, including a pregnant woman and a grandmother and eight others were injured, including a two-year-old child and an 11-month old baby.
The first of those shootings occurred Monday evening when a family on their way back from an outing was gunned down in the Back of the Yards, leaving a pregnant mother and grandmother dead and three others — including an 11-month-old boy — wounded, police said.
The second multiple shooting occurred about five hours later when two men and the mother of a 4-year-old were killed and two other people were wounded near a playground in the Fuller Park neighborhood on the South Side, according to police. A sister said the woman was killed coming to the aid of a relative.
The burst of violence follows two straight weekends when more than 50 people were shot in Chicago. That’s the first time that has happened on back-to-back weekends over the four years the Tribune has been tracking shootings. In August, more than 40 were shot on four consecutive weekends.
A Tribune analysis shows that 2,300 people have been shot in Chicago so far this year -- 400 more than during the same time period last year. Homicides are up by 21 percent.
The shootings are a combination of drive-by shootings and accidental shootings.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said "enough is enough" and blamed gang-bangers for the violence and called for harsher penalties for gun-related crimes.
"You can say this happened in the neighborhood of the Back of the Yards, but everybody (who) woke up this morning, or heard it last night, felt a pain of anguish, and it’s time that our criminal justice system and the laws as it relates to access to guns and the penalties for using 'em reflect the values of the people of the city of Chicago" said the Mayor.
Blog Author's Comments -- Until the Mayor, Rahm Emanuel, deals with the real underlying issues of what and who is causing the crime in Chicago, this will continue. We continue to hear the chant 'Black Lives Matter', if the blacks believe that why are so many blacks killing blacks? When will the politicians realize that the problem is not the laws, but the people, and it will only get worse, not only in Chicago but in most medium to large cities.

While Pope Lectures Congress On Immigration, Vatican Lets In Very Few
Truth Revolt -- As Pope Francis lectured Congress Thursday on the merits of showing compassion to immigrants, The Washington Times reminded just how tight the immigration policy of the Vatican is.
"The Vatican, for its part, welcomes millions of visitors a year — but allows only a very select few, who meet strict criteria, to be admitted as residents or citizens," the Times reports.
There are 800 residents at the Vatican, but only 450 are actual citizens, and most of them are either church cardinals, diplomats, or those employed by the Swiss Guard. Some of these that are employed have their spouses and children living there as well, but as the report notes, there are very few women citizens within the rest of the celibate population.
From the Times:
The strict policy has left the Vatican open to criticism in the past, including from right-wing political leaders in Italy who want tighter immigration controls in their country and have rebuffed the papacy’s calls for leniency by asking how many refugees live in the enclave.
But it is indicated that Francis is trying to quiet those attacks by announcing that the Vatican will be taking in "a couple of refugee families" from Syria.
Blog Author's Comments -- I realize that within the walls which surround the Vatican there is very little room for expansion and building to house immigrants. But the Pope is clearly a leftist. He would do very well within the Obama administration; they both want the same thing with regard to immigration of illegals and the environment in the United States.
The Pope is from Argentina which is a totally Socialist country and has been for decades. The Pope is a Socialist. Why in the world is anyone giving such weight to the Pope's opinions concerning immigration (or the environment)? It's not like any country is forced to follow them, is it?
Exactly how is his opinion on immigration going to actually affect American policy? Obama likes to hear the Pope give speeches that echo what he wants for America. The Socialist in the White House along with his fellow Democrats have been ignoring the laws of this land long before this pope was even elected. The Pope should consider the negative consequences counties face by letting in refugees. He should be more of a religious leader, not a political activist.

Senator Pat Toomey Waves The White Flag On Gun Control Legislation
Breitbart -- Over the past weekend Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) waved the white flag on the gun control legislation he and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) pushed but failed to secure in April 2013 and tried to push again and again between then and now.
The gun control push consisted of a bill to expand current background checks beyond retail sales, so as to include private sales and gun shows too. The gun rights group Pennsylvanians for Self Protection had planned a protest outside of Toomey’s Pennsylvania offices over the weekend only to be informed that there was no need because the legislation will “not be re-introduced.”
According to Politics PA, after receiving the message from Pat Toomey’s offices Pennsylvanians for Personal Protection told their members, “We will update you if the need arises for a political demonstration, but now it seems unnecessary.” The assurances that the background check push is over come after two years of watching Senator Manchin continue to look for an opening in which to reignite the gun control push, as well as Manchin’s indications that Toomey would be on board again should such an opportunity arise.
A recent CNN poll makes clear the nation’s infatuation with expanding background checks to more types of gun sales is waning. Released on September 14, the poll shows that 56 percent of registered voters lack confidence that more gun control would keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, and 58 percent lacked confidence that it would keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Yet these are two of the most common promises proponents of expanded background checks have made over the past two and a half years.
In addition to that, the CNN poll shows that up-and-coming voters—those under the age of 50—are not so sure more gun laws are needed, period. For example, “51 percent [of seniors] say it’s too easy to get a gun, while only 37 percent of those under age 50 think the same.”
Maybe Toomey saw these figures? Maybe he has known that many of the polls showing support for gun control have been a bit inflated all along? Either way, the white flag has been waved and Second Amendment supporters are breathing a sigh of relief for now.
It is interesting to note that one of Toomey’s potential Democrat challengers—Katie McGinty—does not like the position he has taken and accuses him playing both sides by supporting gun control for a time then abandoning it. McGinty said, “Sen. Toomey needs to come clean and explain why he promised a prominent anti-gun safety group that he wouldn’t re-introduce legislation that could save lives.”
Blog Author's Comments -- For once, the GOP white flag is actually a good thing. Hopefully Toomey's voters will remember what he tried to do. He is one of many GOP senators and congress members who should be gone the next time they are up for reelection. New gun control laws are one issue that should not be attempted because it will only hurt the law abiding gun owner. If someone can come up with a way to remove the guns from the criminals I will listen to them.
As the column mentions, perhaps Toomey saw the many polls showing support for gun control have been a bit inflated and at least for now says he won't push the issue anymore. Most politicians will do and say anything to get reelected. They don't want to give up the power and money. This is why so many people are disgusted with the people in office. There are only a handful that I have any respect for.

No Talk Without Immunity, Says Former Clinton Staffer
In a Wednesday letter obtained by POLITICO, Bryan Pagliano’s lawyer Mark MacDougall told Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) that he would give no such preliminary overview, known in legal terms as a proffer. Both chairmen hoped to get a better sense of what Pagliano knew about Clinton’s homebrewed server — which he set up in 2009 before she headed to the State Department.
MacDougall tells Politico that there are concerns that if he gave a proffer to lawmakers it would be deemed as his client waiving his rights:
“Members of congressional committees and their lawyers have lately taken an expansive view of what constitutes a waiver by an individual citizen of his or her right under the Fifth Amendment,” he wrote. “Any ‘proffer session’ or other disclosure by Mr. Pagliano — or his lawyers acting on his behalf — of the contents of his possible testimony creates the very practical risk that our client will later be said to have waived his constitutional protections.”
It is expected that Pagliano will invoke his fifth amendment rights when he appears before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Blog Author's Comments -- "Former Hillary Clinton IT staffer Brian Pagliano, who set up and ran Clinton's email server - central to concerns over security and the deletion of emails - says he won't give congressional committees even a hint of what he knows without immunity."
Give him the immunity he requests and see what he has to say. Once he has immunity, however, he will also need personal protection for an unlimited number of years. The Clintons don't like to be taken down. If he comes forth with the truth about her emails and server it could be the end of Hillary's political career and she should be facing a criminal investigation.

Student Arrested For 'Impeach Obama' Banner Sues Police
Danny Martins, a senior at Hofstra University who says he’s a member of the school’s Libertarian Club, was charged with disorderly conduct in June 2014 after hanging up the message and the American flag from a pedestrian walkway in Jericho.
But a judge eventually tossed all charges against the libertarian activist after citing his right to free speech.
Nassau County prosecutors initially argued that the activity posed a safety hazard.
Martins, who routinely hung political messages from overpasses beginning in 2013, filed suit against the Nassau department as well as individual officers involved in his arrest.
Blog Author's Comments -- Now if Danny Martins' sign had said: ‘We Love Obama’ or ‘Illegals Welcome’ the cops would not have blinked. They let him hang posters since 2013. Well, I would say that the prosecutor's claim that this poster was a safety hazard was invalid given that the precedent of letting him hang posters on numerous previous occasions was established already. He's won at this same free speech issue before, so to arrest him knowing that the charges are going to be tossed out is pure intimidation and it's not from the arresting cops, it's coming from the Obama supporters higher up.
