{news.usni.org} ~ As a number of congressional panels review the nuclear accord with Iran this week, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee said Tehran remains “a threshold nuclear power”... and even some Democrats who supported the deal are having “buyers’ remorse.” Rep. Ron de Santis (R-Fla.), who serves on the Middle East and Africa subcommittee, told attendees at a Heritage Foundation forum Wednesday in Washington, D.C., that Iran presents a threat “unlike others we have faced around the world,” including from the former Soviet Union and even today from North Korea—because of Tehran’s “end of times” view of the world. That view throws into question the strategy of Mutually Assured Destruction being a deterrent for the use of nuclear weapons, he said.        http://news.usni.org/2016/02/10/heritage-panel-warns-of-lingering-iran-nuclear-threat?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=78bfe73c1d-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-78bfe73c1d-231491269&mc_cid=78bfe73c1d&mc_eid=3999f18767

{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ Jade Helm is back and it is back with a vengeance. Jade Helm 15 has morphed into Uuconventional Warfare Exercise 16 (UWEX 16)... UWEX 16 is strictly about fighting a civil war against rogue American troops who will, presumably, not go along with the imposition of tyranny under the banner of the UN flag with the complicit support of foreign troops. In support of the anti-Guerrilla warfare/civil war scenario, the establishment will need massive amounts of detention facilities from which to place individuals and groups that are deemed to be a threat to the NWO. Any overt or covert support, either through material means, or through emotional support will land one in a FEMA camp. This article addresses the three phases of FEMA camp incarcerations. And when, not if, the roundups begin, you can count on them happening in three phases.   http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/2016/02/10/the-three-phases-of-fema-camp-mass-arrests-under-uwex-16/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-three-phases-of-fema-camp-mass-arrests-under-uwex-16

President nObama’s budgetary deceptions

{aei.org} ~ President nObama released the final budget plan of his presidency today, and we can all be grateful that it’s his last. It is a plan that will be, and should be, ignored in Congress because of its deceptions and implausibility...
.
fV06m42mZ9EDEvxUwPPkeyWGdstu6Qf-lna05TwTohIXh9UbBIARNvM81rIZ8Sxb-mH77NW5cECy09WaiHCaBHszfhNtlNwlQarbtvcLLsTRlhEI9neJ82F7JsHTc9pVv-RXX-3VWTx3MPJvNa2Fq0leWEqoMYgeSuZOnF7waCNFa-MtoTmvYOmX_h0Mrki84wM8Pk9lw5X6EA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
.
The starting point is a massive $2.7 trillion tax increase over ten years. This tax hike would be on top of the tax increases the president pushed through Congress in previous years. In nObamacare, the tax hikes totaled $1.2 trillion over a decade. And, shortly after his re-election in 2012, the president demanded a $600 billion tax hike on upper-income earners as the price for not imposing even larger tax hikes on America’s middle class. So, if the president were to get his way with this latest budget proposal, he would have increased the tax burden on American households during his time in office by about $4 to 5 trillion over a decade, or at least $400 billion per year. That would be some legacy. The president’s push for more revenue is evident in the budget’s ten-year forecast. By 2025, taxes under this budget would reach 20 percent of GDP. Federal revenue has been that high as a percentage of the economy only once since World War II (in 2000). And the post-war average has been 17.7 percent of GDP. In 2016, federal revenue is expected to equal 18.1 percent of GDP.        http://www.aei.org/publication/president-obamas-budgetary-deceptions/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=021116

{wallstreetdaily.com} ~ Last week, more than 20 people were arrested in China over a $7.6 billion Ponzi scheme involving a peer-to-peer (P2P) lender called Ezubao... According to a report in the Financial Times, Ezubao had 900,000 investors, utterly dwarfing Bernard Madoff’s mere 13,500. As this latest example goes to show, we need to be extremely careful when faced with enticing sales pitches for new income opportunities. Unfortunately, it’s damnably difficult to tell whether something unconventional is a Ponzi scheme. Worst of all, they may be getting more common.        http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2016/02/11/ezubao-ponzi-scheme/

{investigativeproject.org} ~ Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi, founder and head of Tunisia's Muslim Brotherhood-linked Ennahda Party, claims in a recent Time magazine column that his country offers the antidote to the poison spread by the Islamic State (ISIS)... That's an interesting claim, given that more Tunisians have gone to fight for al-Qaida ISIS than any other nationality. Within Ghannouchi's country, a Salafi-jihadi insurgency threatens the democratic gains made after dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was ousted in 2011. Many of these foreign fighters belonged to Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia, an al-Qaida linked group designated as a terrorist organization by the State Department in 2014. A December tally by the New York-based Soufan Group found that approximately 6,000 Tunisians have joined the Islamic State. Some had suggested that democracy would sap jihadism's appeal, but the country's new openness has had the opposite effect.       http://www.investigativeproject.org/5157/tunisian-mb-leader-time-column-glosses-over#

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The campaign of class-warrior Hilly Clinton is pushing the panic button over the prospective release of secret transcripts of high-dollar speeches she made to Goldman Sachs that threaten to portray her as a two-faced un-progressive Wall Street elitist who is out of touch with the common people... The Democrats' leading avatar of avarice depicts herself as the candidate of Occupy Wall Street, a fearless champion of the downtrodden, but the transcripts of three speeches for which Goldman paid her an astonishing $675,000 threaten to torpedo the false, focus group-friendly image she has cultivated. In the speeches to her fellow one-percenters, she reportedly comes across as unduly cozy with the financial titans that her angry left-wing base blames for most of America's and the world's problems today. In the current political environment publication of the transcripts could be as damaging to her run as Republican Mitt Romney's ruinous "47 percent" speech was to his 2012 campaign.

{wnd.com} ~ This has not been a good week for Hilly Clinton. She prevailed over Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses by less than four-tenths of 1 percent of all votes cast, after having led him in polls in Iowa at one time by 40 percentage points... In her statement to supporters, standing in front of her gaunt and listless-looking husband, she was not able to mouth the word “victory” or any of its standard variants. She could barely hide her contempt for the Iowa Democrats who deserted her. Sanders isn’t even a Democrat. According to official Senate records, he is an “Independent Socialist” who votes to organize the Senate with the Democrats and sits on the Senate floor with them. Clinton, of course, is the heiress to the mightiest Democratic political apparatus in the land. Hence the question: What do the Iowa Democrats know that caused thousands of them to flee from her? They know she is a crook.

{wnd.com} ~ On several occasions since January 2009, I commented on my surprise at the speed with which Barack Hussein nObama began implementing his radical political agenda... By late 2009, it was evident to the astute that this nObama fellow was going to be really bad news – even worse than our 39th president, Jimmy Carter, to whom some quickly drew comparisons. Thus, it wasn’t only unsurprising but gratifying to many when, on Sept. 9, 2009, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., shouted “You lie!” during a speech before a joint session of Congress while Obama attempted to assuage the concerns of those who believed that White House health-care reform proposals would insure illegal immigrants. Wilson was right, of course; as he would occur on innumerable occasions in the future, nObama was being willfully deceptive.

{wnd.com} ~ The impact of the “nObama economy,” those ups and downs attributed to the tax-and-spend policies implemented by the president’s administration, is moving further into negative territory with the announcement that dozens of additional retail stores across America are being closed down sooner than planned... WND had reported only a few days ago on the effective retail apocalypse that was leaving stores closed and, in some places, entire malls shuttered because of the downward spiral of the nation’s economy. At that time, Michael Snyder, a University of Florida law-school graduate, former Washington, D.C., attorney and publisher of the Economic Collapse Blog, wrote on “The End of the American Dream” blog: “Major retailers in the United States are shutting down hundreds of stores, and shoppers are reporting alarmingly bare shelves in many retail locations that are still open all over the country.” He warned the 2015 retail lag was only worsening in 2016.        http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/they-fall-down-go-boom-obama-economy-killing-businesses/

{constitutionrising.com} ~ The reasons to impeach and pursue criminal charges against DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson just continue to pile up and as they do his crimes against the United States continue to be ignored by Congress... He’s already infamous for erasing our southern border, for ending immigration enforcement, for converting the Customs and Border Patrol into an illegal alien induction service rather than a law enforcement agency and for gutting the programs aimed at combating Islamic terrorism as well as stripping the training materials of all information relevant to Islamic terror. His job is not to protect America, but to make sure that nobody gets their feelings hurt. Johnson, who has been invisible since the December 2nd terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, had been a constant whiner over the “need” for more funding as well as incessantly making excuses for his failures because ISIS is such a difficult “whack a mole” threat,” according to him, it is because they are so advanced and skillful at social media and use of the Internet.        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/25909

{townhall.com} ~ It amuses me that certain people are convinced that Christians are angry scolds but totally miss the humorlessness and angst of certain Christophobic secularists.
.
When I wrote the book "Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity," secularists panned the notion that Christians, being in the majority, could be the subjects of systematic discrimination. I found that an odd argument, especially from people who routinely argued that women are victims of gender discrimination.
.
Their argument may have a superficial attraction, but it does not square with the evidence. I marshaled 400 pages of proof to substantiate my case. Since the time the book was published in 2005 this pattern of discrimination and mistreatment of Christians has continued unabated. I could write an update with twice as many pages.
.
Our universities are teeming with atheist professors, many of whom express their antipathy toward Christianity as anti-science, superstitious, bigoted,and Neanderthal. The same message permeates our culture, from Hollywood to popular music to the mainstream liberal media.
.
President Barack nObama himself, while touting his authentic Christianity, doesn't miss an opportunity to ridicule Christians as Bible-toting bitter-clingers whose Scripture contains many horrific divine commands and whose ancestors during the Crusades were every bit as evil as modern Islamic jihadists. He has also gone out of his way to promote the very secular cause of abortion-on-demand and to trample the conscience rights of faith-based institutions.
.
Yet with all this "progress," the appetite of militant secularists cannot be satiated. The most recent example is an editorial by Susan Jacoby in The New York Times, "Sick and Tired of 'God Bless America.'" Contrary to the liberal criticism of my book, Jacoby argues "the population of nonreligious Americans -- including atheists, agnostics and those who call themselves 'nothing in particular' -- stands at an all-time high this election year." She cites a Pew poll showing that the numbers of nonreligious Americans have exploded since 2008. It's hard to deny that the secular culture's bombardment of Christianity is having an effect.
.
Jacoby is particularly annoyed that despite the supposed cultural shift away from Christianity, presidential candidates still campaign "as if all potential voters were among the faithful." Even Democrats, she says, "are only a trifle more secular in their appeals." Well, if you say so.
.
Jacoby doesn't criticize nonreligious Americans who vote for these candidates, because no candidate "who full-throatedly endorses nonreligious humanism" is on the ballot. But she's not happy that the "candidates themselves ignore the growing group of secular voters."
.
She admits -- shockingly -- that "America is still predominantly a Christian nation," but that's not, in her view, why Christians are more powerful. Christians, she argues, are no more homogenous or monolithic in their views than secularists. Indeed, only evangelicals, as a group, are larger than those Americans "who don't belong to any church." The "unchurched," she says, at 22.8 percent, "make up a larger group than Catholics, any single Protestant denomination and small minorities of Jews, Muslims, and Hindus."
.
Instead, she thinks secularists are politically weak partly because they are not "joiners" and they reject labels. Many of the religiously unaffiliated would rather not identify with any group than label themselves as atheists or agnostics. Without joiners, she says, you can't create a lobby.
.
This is all rather bizarre, though, when you consider the inroads secularists have made in our society. In the first place, let's not forget that the Democratic Party booed God at its last convention. And though its presidential candidates may be unwilling to overtly appeal to secularists, they clearly pay homage to goddess Gaia in their quasi-pious adherence to the catechism of climate change. They bow to abortion rights as if abortion were a sacred ritual mandated by a pagan god of child sacrifice.
.
More important, secular values are in the ascendancy in this nation, not just in our university and culture, but also in the outworking of our laws. Almost overnight, militant secularists have imposed same-sex marriage on society through the super-legislature formally known as the United States Supreme Court. Tyrannical liberal policy makers and judges have forced the federal funding of abortifacients. Formerly free private bakers can't refuse to sell their product for a ceremony that violates their religious beliefs. Secularists own the curriculum in our public schools and universities. They expel prayer and symbols of Christianity from the public square, our schools and our military institutions. Don't dare be caught voluntarily praying to the God of the Bible in your private time in school, but the school will teach you how to practice the Five Pillars of Islam. Secularists are infringing, selectively, on the freedom of association of Christian groups on campuses. And much more.
.
Don't misunderstand. I do not seek to portray Christians as victims, but for all her concern, Jacoby has nothing to fear from Christians, who would not suppress secularists' liberties. On the other hand, it is undeniable that militant secularists command that society extend tolerance toward everyone except Christians. As hard-nosed secularists have been caught admitting, they simply refuse to tolerate ideas they find intolerable. They have no interest in applying their adage "live and let live" to those odious Christians.
.
Jacoby is sick of hearing "God bless America" at the end of every major political speech, and longs to hear Thomas Paine's observation that "the most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is Reason."
.
With all respect to Thomas Paine, I'm not as worried about errors as encroachments on our liberties. And I'd far rather trust one's commitment to the Constitution and rule of law than abstract reason. Christians embrace reason as much as secularists, but as jealous adherents to constitutional liberties, we are much better guardians of liberty for all.
