 Congress Scores Political Victory Over nObama in Iran Deal  
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee forced Barack nObama to back away from his one-man approach to negotiations with Iran. Under Sen. Bob Corker's leadership, the committee on Tuesday passed a bill that would require Congress review nObama's deal with Iran before lifting sanctions against the country. The bill passed 19-0 and is expected to pass both cambers with veto-proof majorities. Before the bill broke out of committee, nObama lobbied Congress to stay out of his dealings with Iran and its nuclear program. Now, nObama's saying he may sign the legislation, cowing to the rightful demands of Congress. But Corker's bill is far from perfect. Conservative commentator Noah Pollack tweeted, "The way Corker & Graham wrote their bill, nObama will win Congressional approval of Iran deal with only 34 votes. Ponder that." In other words, a decision not to approve nObama's bill faces the challenge of herding all the cats of Congress in the same direction. The Wall Street Journal argues the ideal role of Congress is to pass a treaty because nuclear deals should not be sealed with talk and a handshake. Corker's bill is a victory, but merely a political one. More...  -The Patriot Post 

 Hilly's Income Inequality Platform Problem  
While Hilly Clinton established her campaign on reducing income inequality, she has not practiced what she preached. "Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top," Clinton said in the video announcing her presidential campaign "Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion." Sure, Clinton can talk all she wants, but her platform places her between the idealistic Left and her salary. Progressives are beginning to say a $15-an-hour wage is the only wage they will support, probably to the chagrin of Seattle small businesses that have to close because of the city's $15-an-hour wage experiment. And Hilly has acted precisely like the CEOs and one-percenters she lambasts. Her $200,000-an-hour speaking gigs place her firmly in the filthy rich category. Furthermore, she directs all her salary through her foundation, so she avoids paying taxes. The income deck is, indeed, stacked in her favor. More...  -The Patriot Post 

 Tennessee's New Pro-Gun Law Gets It Right  
The Tennessee governor's mansion is occupied by a Republican, and the GOP owns supermajorities in both the House and Senate. The result has been a wave of pro-gun measures, including a "Guns in Parking Lots" law approved in 2013 that gives employees the legal right to store a firearm inside personal vehicles even if it's against an employer's inclinations. The move was a good one; the problem is that "an attorney general's opinion later found that while the law decriminalized the actions of those who ignored posted gun bans on private property, employers could still terminate workers for violating company firearms policies," explains WTVC News Channel 9. Last week, the legislature passed and Gov. Bill Haslam signed a fix that allows fired persons the ability to take legal action. Now, even some Republicans contend the new law infringes on employers' rights. But that's misguided — businesses still have the right to ban firearms, but vehicles don't belong to the employer. As Hot Air blogger Jazz Shaw concludes, "This law seems to me to have been a good compromise. The employer can bar carrying weapons in the workplace, but the employee's car is not the workplace. And punishing them for such storage is an unreasonable burden on their constitutional rights." Tennessee hit the bull's-eye on this one. More...

 Cruz Says Polls Don't Matter; The Bill of Rights Does  
Ted Cruz was right on target when asked about his views on the Second Amendment: "When it comes to constitutional rights, what matters is what the Bill of Rights says. It doesn't matter what might be popular at the moment. We've seen regimes across the face of the earth come and take away people's guns, strip away their rights to defend themselves, and sometimes it's been very popular. And yet it is an inevitable prelude to tyranny. Our country was founded on a radical proposition, which is that our rights don't come from government; they come from God. ... The entire reason for the Second Amendment is not for hunting; it's not for target shooting. ... The Second Amendment is there so that you and I can protect our homes and our families and our children and our lives. And it's also there as a fundamental check on government tyranny. And that, ultimately, is not subject to public opinion polls, it's subject to the express protections of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution." Cruz really nailed it.  -The Patriot Post 

 Louisiana Timidly Considers Religious Liberty Legislation  
Just like Indiana and Arkansas, Louisiana started to consider its own version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but it seems the threat of pushback may dissuade state lawmakers. The president of Louisiana's Senate, Republican John Alario, said, "As it was originally introduced, I'm not in favor of it. It would put Louisiana in such a bad light, we don't want any part of it." Whatever happened to trading short-term discomfort for long-term benefit? The state's governor, Bobby Jindal, said he would fight for legislation like the RFRA "that seeks to preserve our most fundamental freedoms." The opposition to state-level RFRAs could be nothing more than a heckler's veto. According to a poll conducted by WPA Opinion Research on behalf of the Family Research Council, 81% of those polled "agree that government should leave people free to follow their beliefs about marriage as they live their daily lives at work and in the way they run their businesses." But Louisiana lawmakers are scared of the shrill 19% who want government to tell small businesses to bake the cake, to serve the hypothetical pizzas, regardless of the business owner's most deeply held beliefs.

 Hilly Clinton Steps Down From Hilly Clinton Foundation  
(Daniel Greenfield) - Hilly Rodham Clinton’s decision to step down from the board of her family’s foundation will be followed this week by a Clinton Foundation board meeting to consider limiting international fundraising and improving transparency...Her resignation and the changes under discussion appear aimed at insulating Clinton from mounting concerns that the charity’s financial ties to foreign governments and corporations may pose political risks to her presidential candidacy. After using her family non-profit to take in large sums of cash and promote her pre-campaign candidacy, Hilly Clinton is stepping down from a foundation partly named after her, while her husband and daughter remain on the board. Conflict of interest totally avoided. Sorry, I don't think so. She is still in the family.       http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/dgreenfield/hillary-clinton-steps-down-from-hillary-clinton-foundation/

 nObama Admin Denying That ISIS Is Operating on Southern Border  
(nicedeb.wordpress.com) - Newsmax TV’s JD Hayworth talked to Judicial Watch Investigative reporter  Irene Garcia about their bombshell report from earlier this week claiming that terrorists have set up a training camp on the Southern border...High level Mexican sources are confirming JW’s reports from last August, that ISIS is operating at least one camp just a few miles from El Paso, TX. Their sources include a Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican federal police inspector. Garcia, a former LA Times reporter, said authorities on both side of the border have confirmed that the activity is occurring, but the nObama administration continues to claim the reports are unfounded for a number of reasons. It really amazes me why he thinks this is just unfounded reports. It won't hurt to check into it.       https://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2015/04/15/jw-reporter-obama-admin-denial-that-isis-is-operating-on-southern-border-insane-and-deplorable-video/

 DHS Slush Funds And Financial Funny Business?  
(rickwells.us) - Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and 21 of his colleagues in the House have questions about some of the funny business that they believe may be going on in the fiefdom that is the Department of Homeland “Security” under its Director, Jeh Johnson...On April 15th they sent a letter to Gene Dodaro, Comptroller General of the GAO, asking for answers. They raised concerns over the use of funds from fees collected, funds which they described as “completely fungible.”  They are concerned, in part, that money raised for one purpose could be utilized for another and of the creation of slush funds and financial skimming. They fear that unauthorized programs such as the illegal amnesty dictated by Johnson and nObama could have been or still be being funded in such an illegal manner.       http://www.rickwells.us/dhs-slush-funds-and-financial-funny-business-22-congressmen-have-serious-questions-for-jeh-johnson/

 Violent Criminal Illegals Welcome In America – Deportations Down 30%  
(rickwells.us) - The more mainstream media sources are starting to recognize a lie when they hear it, realizing that the White House narrative that they’ve been faithfully regurgitating, or at a minimum ignoring the inconsistencies therein are nothing more than blatant falsehoods...and those telling them are just dirty liars with an impressive title. The awakening is starting to take place at the Washington Post, which reported Tuesday that despite claims by the regime that they were abdicating their duty to deport the majority of illegal aliens in the interest of concentrating on the violent criminals, they aren’t deporting them either. Deportations are down in a big way across the board. The truth has been widely known by most outside of the mainstream media for years, it’s good they have finally noticed the aroma of brewing coffee in the air. They reported on April 14th:

 Afghan Colonel was paid $250,000 to kill US personnel  
(Robert Spencer) - A bombshell revelation has emerged in the incident responsible for the greatest US Air Force loss of life during the War on Terror and deadliest “green-on-blue” attack during the US involvement in Afghanistan...On April 27, 2011, Afghan Air Force Colonel Ahmad Gul gunned down eight US Air Force personnel and a civilian contractor inside the Afghan Air Force headquarters, including investigators who had just arrived in country to examine rampant corruption in the Afghan military. Multiple Air Force and CENTCOM investigations claimed to find no motive for the attack, leaving the families of those killed with no answers. Now a senior US official has gone on the record claiming that a United Nations team tracked substantial payments to the killer and his family made days just prior to the incident….       http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/04/afghan-colonel-was-paid-250000-to-kill-us-personnel-pentagon-coverup-ensued?utm_source=Jihad+Watch+Daily+Digest&utm_campaign=77c6d3ec4c-Daily_Digest&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ffcbf57bbb-77c6d3ec4c-123451509

 U.S. Cuts Nuclear Warhead Levels  
(Bill Gertz) - Despite nuclear saber-rattling by Moscow, U.S. nuclear forces are close to reaching warhead, missile, and bomber numerical cuts required under the 2010 New START arms treaty, a senior Pentagon official told Congress on Wednesday...U.S. nuclear warheads counted under the treaty with Russia were reduced from 1,642 to 1,597 between Sept. 1 and March 1, said Robert Scher, assistant secretary of defense for strategy, plans, and capabilities. Russian nuclear warheads were cut from 1,632 to 1,582 during the same period, Scher told the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee in prepared testimony. The treaty requires both nations to reduce their deployed strategic warhead arsenals to 1,550 by February 2018.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/u-s-cuts-nuclear-warhead-levels/

 Clinton Associate Says He Killed People For Bill & Hillary!! 
We’ve all heard of or read about the many people who, it is said, were murdered on orders of Bill and Hilly Clinton. (See, for example, the website
Arkancide.)...But the deaths are the stuff of rumors — until now. On September 24, 2013, on the Pete Santilli radio show, a former longtime Clinton associate named Larry Nichols admitted that he had killed people as the Clintons’ hit man or murderer-for-hire.       http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/04/14/watch-clinton-associate-says-he-killed-people-for-bill-hillary/

 The Corker Cave-In  
(Keith Koffler) - I keep reading today that the White House folded, caved, threw up the white flag, rolled over on its sword and died a humiliating death by accepting legislation by Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., giving Congress “a role” in the Iran negotiations...In this case, that’s a bit of spin that both the White House and Republicans want you to buy. Because Republicans want you to think they’ve etched out some kind of a victory over nObama, and finally stood up one of his power grabs. While the White House want to camouflage . . . its latest successful power grab. “The Unified States Senate just capitulated to nObama,” radio host and Constitutional scholar Mark Levin said Tuesday night. “The Unified States Senate just rewrote the Treaty Provision of the Constitution.”       http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2015/04/15/corker-cavein/?awt_l=59AKM&awt_m=3cocsndlNGTM1Od

 Hilly’s Dinner With Ordinary Iowans Was a Fake!!  
(Steven Ahle) - Hilly tried to pull a fast one on Iowa voters but was caught in the act.  She was pictured sitting down and having a discussion with 3 “ordinary Iowans.”  Only thing is, they weren’t so ordinary...

The meeting in a coffee shop in LeClaire , Iowa (Sound familiar?  That’s the home of American Pickers) was supposed to be a chance meeting between Hilly Clinton and three ordinary Iowan citizens.  The three “ordinary” Iowans turned out to be Austin Bird, a former Clinton campaign intern, Carter Bell, University of Iowa College Democrats president, and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland staffer Sara Sedlacek. She is one total fake.      http://redstatements.co/flash-hillarys-dinner-with-ordinary-iowans-was-a-fake/

 nObama’s ‘Jade Helm’ Program Comes to Texas  
(J. Christian Adams) - This week, representatives from the Department of Defense met with concerned citizens in a contentious meeting inside the Real County Courthouse in Leakey, Texas...What took place at that meeting, and what Defense Department officials said, reveals a great deal about Jade Helm training exercises across the United States. Some have speculated that Jade Helm is the military’s response to a possible attack by a weapon of mass destruction. Others have noted that the training seems to be focused on putting down domestic political disturbances. Monday, an overflow crowd for the Real County Commissioners Court meeting, heard Lt. Col. Daniel Pawlak explain why the United States military has begun training inside the United States in unprecedented ways.       http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2015/04/15/citizens-react-to-jade-helm-training-inside-texas/

UK Election: Lefty British Jews Will
Vote Conservative Over Labour's Israel Policy
Conor Gaffey  
 
assetContent.act?id=14446725 

     (.jewishworldreview.com) -British Jews are overwhelmingly rejecting Britain’s opposition Labour Party and instead intend to back the Conservatives in the upcoming general election, largely due to differences in policy over Israel and Palestine.

     Almost 70% of Jewish voters said they would back David Cameron’s party, which is perceived to have a more pro-Israeli stance, compared to just 22% who would back Labour, led by Ed Miliband, the grandson of Jewish refugees from the second world war.
 
     Labour called for a parliamentary vote on recognising Palestinian statehood in October last year, which ultimately passed with a majority of 274 to 12. Miliband vehemently opposed Israeli incursions into Gaza during last summer’s conflict, a position which reportedly cost the party thousands of pounds in lost support from Jewish donors.

     Foreign policy towards Israel was a driving factor in influencing Jewish voting intentions, with a total of 73% saying it was an important issue in how they would vote in a poll conducted for UK newspaper the Jewish Chronicle.

     Jews in the UK and across Europe feel a special affiliation to Israel as their spiritual homeland and feel threatened by pro-Palestinian statements of politicians, according to Rabbi Menachem Margolin, director of the European Jewish Association.

     “Jewish people in Europe are Europeans, they belong to Europe, but at the same time, when they see Europe shaking with so many problems, they feel that the only country that will do everything possible to secure their lives is the state of Israel,” says Margolin.

     “When Jews see politicians who keep supporting the Palestinian side and don’t care about the facts - they believe the politicians are thinking more about their own interests.”

     The Conservative party has a strong pro-Israeli affiliate, the Conservative Friends of Israel, which has around 2,000 active members. Cameron recently congratulated Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu on winning a second term in office while expressing Britain’s support for a two-state solution.
 
     The prime minister’s perceived pro-Israel stance has evidently influenced Jewish voting intentions - 65% of those surveyed said the incumbent prime minister had the best approach towards Israel and the Middle East compared to just 10% for his Labour opponent, despite Miliband’s well-publicised Jewish background. Furthermore, 64% backed Cameron as having the best attitude towards British Jewry compared to 13% in favour of Miliband.

     Margolin declines to express support for a particular party in the forthcoming election but says he is unsurprised that foreign policy concerning Israel is such a big issue, since “Jewish people always dream to one day return to their homeland”.

     The UK has a Jewish population of around 290,000, less than 1% of the total population. The poll surveyed 500 Jews in the UK over the past week.
