 Feel the Tax Bern 
While Republicans like Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are working on ways to lower taxes, Bernie Sanders is rolling out a multitude of ways to raise them. And not just rate tweaks here and there; we're talking tax hikes to the tune of nearly $20 trillion over 10 years. Some $14 trillion in tax hikes on both businesses and individuals are meant to fund Sanders' single-payer health care plan. But Bernie also wants to raise Social Security taxes, other payroll taxes, capital gains taxes, the death tax, corporate taxes, oil taxes and marginal income tax rates. As we've noted before, at least Sanders has the integrity to admit he's a socialist. That ideology is exactly what inspires all these tax proposals, since the Left is all about certain people paying their "fair share" so that income can be redistributed to favored constituents. If you think the economy is in the ditch right now, just wait and see what would happen if Sanders got his way.  -The Patriot Post

 Robert E. Lee 
Today we take a moment to remember the birth anniversary of Robert E. Lee (1807-1870), one of the greatest military commanders in American history. He was also a great man of faith who gave his all for the cause of Liberty and states' rights.
          There were many honorable men of the Confederate States of America, whose objective was, first and foremost, the protection of states rights, and decidedly not the continuation of abhorrent institution of slavery. For a better understanding on the issues of the day, read this perspective on Abraham Lincoln, which was not included in your grade-school civics class. The honor we give these men has its roots in the founding of this great nation.
           Mark Alexander notes in his essay, "Lincoln's Legacy at 200," that "the causal case for states' rights is most aptly demonstrated by the words and actions of Gen. Lee, who detested slavery and opposed secession. In 1860, however, Gen. Lee declined President Abraham Lincoln's request that he take command of the Army of the Potomac, saying that his first allegiance was to his home state of Virginia: 'I have, therefore, resigned my commission in the army, and save in defense of my native state ... I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword.' He would, soon thereafter, take command of the Army of Northern Virginia, rallying his officers with these words: 'Let each man resolve to be victorious, and that the right of self-government, liberty, and peace shall find him a defender.'"   -The Patriot Post

 Could a Movie Derail Hilly Clinton for Good? .

Benghazi. Four Americans killed. A film with the recurring theme of a fading superpower that trades on its still-existing military power while trying to figure out its purpose. A movie depicting men who were denied everything yet gave everything they had to protect their fellow Americans.
          "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" is the title of this newly released movie and it tells the story of what happened during the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate from the perspective of American fighters on the ground. According to The Washington Post, Paramount insists the film is "not political," but the Post argues that it is political — even though former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton is not mentioned by name and Barack nObama is mentioned only in passing. The Post has a point, but that's only because nObama and Clinton politicized the attack from the beginning.
          Further, while the movie does not directly attack the nObama administration, it does show the general incompetence, corruption and sluggish bureaucracy in Washington. And it shows what our guys on the ground went through having been abandoned by nObama and Clinton.
          National Review's David French, an Iraq war veteran, notes, "The Benghazi controversy is the story of three great failures — the failure to either fortify or evacuate Benghazi when threats increased, the failure to adequately protect and support American personnel during the attack itself, and the repeated lies told the American public after the attack to minimize both the nature of the jihadist threat and the scale of the administration's incompetence."  -The Patriot Post

{foxnews.com} ~ The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review President nObama’s plan to shield up to 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation... after lower courts blocked the president’s sweeping executive actions from taking effect. The decision sets up an election-year clash over the controversial plan that many Republicans have likened to “amnesty.” The justices said Tuesday they will consider undoing lower court rulings that blocked the plan from taking effect. The nObama administration had appealed to the Supreme Court last fall.        http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/01/19/supreme-court-agrees-to-review-obama-immigration-plan.html?intcmp=hpbt3

Inspector General: Clinton emails had intel from most secretive, classified programs

{foxnews.com} ~ Hilly Clinton's emails on her unsecured, homebrew server contained intelligence from the U.S. government's most secretive and highly classified programs... according to an unclassified letter from a top inspector general to senior lawmakers. Fox News exclusively obtained the text of the unclassified letter, sent Jan. 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP). That indicates a level of classification beyond even “top secret,” the label previously given to two emails found on her server, and brings even more scrutiny to the presidential candidate’s handling of the government’s closely held secrets.

The longtime Democratic operative later told InsideSources that Republican policies are bad for women, but “overly hyped” political language turns voters off.

This segment examines emails from Sidney Blumenthal, a personal confidant of the Clinton's, which are designed to place the blame of the Benghazi attack NOT of the nObama/Clinton Administration but on the foolish video "Innocence of Muslims." In an almost unbelievable disinformation moment, Sidney leads Hilly to use his son Max's article about the video as the cause of the attack.

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Saudi Arabia's Almarai Co has officially purchased even more farmland in the Southwest of the US. For 32 million, The Saudi food giant acquired the agricultural town of Blithe, California... The company cited alfalfa hay as the reason for securing the land. This is just the next step in the plan by Almarai to phase out the growing of crops and fodder on Saudi Arabia’s home soil. The country is no longer having as much success considering their scarce water resources in their desert environment. So that means, it’s time for them to exploit America’s land and water. The company defended the purchase by saying the deal "forms part of Almarai's continuous efforts to improve and secure its supply of the highest quality alfalfa hay from outside the (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) to support its dairy business. It is also in line with the Saudi government direction toward conserving local resources." Why should the country dry up their own water reserves when they can venture abroad and do so? Even when California is currently experiencing its own a drought.        http://punchingbagpost.com/saudi-arabia-dairy-company-buys-1,790-acres-of-land-in-california

{pjmedia.com} ~ On a recent reporting trip to Iraq and northern Syria, two things were made apparent to me -- one of them relatively encouraging, the other far less so... The encouraging news is that ISIS is currently in a state of retreat. Not headlong rout, but contraction. The bad news? Our single-minded focus on ISIS as if it were the main or sole source of regional dysfunction is the result of faulty analysis, which in turn is producing flawed policy. Regarding the first issue, 2015 was not a particularly good year for ISIS. In the course of it, the jihadis lost Kobani and then a large area to its east, bringing the Syrian Kurdish fighters of the YPG and their allies to within 30 km of the Caliphate’s “capital” in Raqqa city.        https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2016/01/19/weve-got-it-wrong-isis-is-not-the-main-problem-in-the-middle-east/

The illegal is 60-year-old Ramon Aguasviva-Mejia, who recently lived in Lawrence, MA. He has warrants out of Suffolk Superior Court for drug distribution. Did anyone bother to mention to these Massachusetts liberals who are tying up their court system and catering to a drug dealer in their community that being an illegal alien in the US is illegal? They mention that he is also wanted by Quincy District Court for felony assault, according to police. Yep, he’s still an illegal and he still is being treated better than a citizen.

{eaglerising.com} ~ During a townhall meeting on guns, which I wrote about here, Barack Hussein nObama Soetoro Sobarkah said, "I believe in the Second Amendment. It is there, written on the paper... It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around — I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this — I get it." However, one writer has sought to clarify that nObama was not actually a professor, which means he never taught constitutional law. Karin McQuillan writes at American Thinker: nObama was never a professor; he was a lecturer. He did not have the qualifications to be a professor. nObama never published a single law paper. He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard. There was no book – just the contract, which he later reneged on. This is not the normal level of accomplishment for a University of Chicago professor or even lecturer. Well, I suppose nObama's deception and outright lies are par for the course. So, no one is surprised by them. In fact, many have questioned his mental stability as a result of his chronic lying. The irony is that he has used the mental health issue to go after people's guns, especially our veterans.        http://eaglerising.com/28861/nope-obama-was-not-a-constitutional-law-professor/

Iran and North Korea Share
a Bond Built on the Bomb and America’s Demise

{aim.org} ~ In his 2002 State of the Union address, President George W. Bush used the collective tag of the “Axis of Evil” to describe three of “the world’s most dangerous regimes…threatening us with the world’s most destructive weapons.”
.
Of those three Axis members – Iraq, North Korea and Iran – the latter two remain committed to destabilizing a world order America seeks to maintain. For them to be successful, America must be destroyed. While one Axis member looks to play the role of an accessory to this evolution, the other looks to be the hit man.
.
Evil nurtures evil. We saw this during World War II. Two ideologically diverse dictatorships – Japan and Germany – were able to come together to form the Axis powers along with Italy to combat Western democracies. The Axis powers only failed after the Free World came to understand and defend against the threat.
.
We see it happening again today. An incompetent President Barack nObama ignores it at great risk to U.S. national security.
.
With Pyongyang’s recent claim it conducted its first successful test of a hydrogen bomb, the plot thickens and the threat to the U.S. increases.
.
Some experts doubt Pyongyang did successfully test a hydrogen bomb. However, a ground disturbance, registering at 5.1 magnitude and initially believed to be an earthquake, was detected by international seismic monitoring stations just before North Korea made the announcement. Those seismic characteristics have led others to give Pyongyang’s claim credence.
.
Needless to say, the White House – which has proven incapable of recognizing threats from the Islamic State to a nuclear deal with Iran that it has already violated – downplays the North Korea threat as well.
.
But, if Pyongyang did test a hydrogen bomb, it is most disturbing as such a weapon is a hundred times more powerful than an atomic bomb.
.
While nObama seeks to dismiss the test’s low-kiloton yield and relatively small seismic wave, an expert on electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons, Peter Vincent Pry, does not.
.
Director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, Pry warns the test may well have been something to cause us major concern – a Super-EMP weapon.
.
EMP is created either by nature – i.e., severe solar storm activity striking the Earth – or by man – i.e., a high-altitude detonation of a nuclear device. Regardless of the source, an EMP’s impact would be devastating.
.
A strategically detonated nuclear weapon above the U.S. could kill 90 percent of the population. Most deaths would result, not from the explosion, but from its after-effects – destroying our electrical grids and causing critical infrastructure failure. Recovery could take four to 10 years, costing $2 trillion for the first year alone.
.
Pry has previously warned about North Korea’s development of an EMP weapon – and that it is being assisted in this effort by the Russians.
.
Were such an EMP weapon in North Korean hands, the news would be both good and bad.
.
The good news is, it is highly unlikely Pyongyang would use it to launch a first strike directly against the U.S. The bad news is, Pyongyang would sell the weapon to Tehran, which would.
.
The two Axis member nations have long been working together on a nuclear arms program and potential delivery system. Iranians previously attended both missile and nuclear tests conducted by North Korea. In fact, it has been speculated Iran may be outsourcing some nuclear weapons development to Pyongyang.
.
And, lest there be doubts Shairah Law might bar the use of EMP weapons, Muslim scholars have ruled otherwise, justifying usage as electronics, rather than people, are directly targeted. A secret Iranian military handbook, obtained by U.S. intelligence, endorses EMP usage as well.
.
Earlier North Korean/Iranian collaboration led the former to surreptitiously build a nuclear reactor in Al Kibar, Syria, on behalf of the latter – obviously funded by Tehran. However, before the reactor became operational, Israel destroyed it in a September 2007 raid. Most telling was the fact the Syrians chose to maintain a low profile on the matter, quickly razing the site without allowing international inspectors access beforehand.
.
Cash-strapped, Pyongyang is willing to sell anything to anybody who has the money to pay for it. nObama’s ill-advised nuclear deal with Iran will now put more than $100 billion in Tehran’s coffers, giving it the ability to pay North Korea whatever its asking price for an EMP weapon may be. Thus, we may well be sowing the seeds of our own demise.
.
U.S. intelligence officials reported while they were not “strategically” surprised by the North Korean test, the specific timing of the detonation did catch them off guard. This brings into question U.S. Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry’s assurances about our ability to monitor any nuclear mischief by Iran.
.
The two Axis of Evil members share a common goal – only seeking to play different roles to achieve it. Pyongyang seeks to provide a nuclear bullet; Tehran seeks to use it.
.
During the Cold War, a nuclear exchange never occurred as both sides’ actions were restrained by the theory of Mutual Assured Destruction. Ironically, the thought of one side launching a nuclear attack that would trigger a similarly devastating retaliatory strike provided both sides with a level – albeit an uneasy one – of comfort.
.
But this theory’s comfort level is lost on Iranian mullahs whose apocalyptical beliefs leave them with thoughts of sexual “sugar plums dancing in their heads.” They would welcome a devastating retaliatory nuclear strike sending them on their way to an afterlife of milk and “honies” – the latter an endless supply of“eternal” recycled virgins – as promised by Prophet Muhammad. Thus, they have no fear in launching a first strike.
.
nObama’s failure to grasp this mindset was evident in his final State of the Union Address on January 12 when he boasted, “No nation attacks us directly or our allies because they know that’s the path to ruin.”
.
With the purported successful testing of a hydrogen bomb by North Korea and an apocalyptical eagerness by Iranian mullahs to get just such a device in their hands, the U.S. president responsible for protecting us should be getting nervous. We should be getting nervous that he is not.
