Rick Perry Asks for a Second Look Texas Campus Carry Ain’t Radical
nObama’s Perplexing Iran Dealings
Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced his second presidential bid today. Perry's claim to fame is simple: jobs. Between 2007 and 2013, Texas created 1.5 million jobs while the rest of the nation lost 400,000. (What was that about Barack nObama's recovery?) In 2014, Texas created a record 457,900 jobs. During his entire tenure, the Lone Star State was responsible for more than a third of America's jobs. Even so — and with a current downturn in the oil industry slowing Texas' growth — Perry has made a concerted effort to expand his appeal beyond the economy. His generally successful 14-year tenure as governor of a large state should push him toward the top of the field, but he'll have to overcome two things: A phony indictment that amounts to charges of governing while Republican, and first impressions from the 2012 campaign. The latter could be harder, as his infamous "oops" moment in one of the last cycle's debates may have defined him too well. Naturally, he's trying to redeem himself from a bumbling 2012 run, which he blames on ill preparation and the after effects of major back surgery. One person who thinks he can do it is Matt Rhoades, Mitt Romney's campaign manager. “Gov. Perry has worked hard and done the right things to reposition himself for a run in 2016,” Rhoades said. “I believe his candidacy will have a major impact on the primary and voters will give him a second chance.” America is all about second chances, right? -The Patriot Post

In yet another advancement for the Second Amendment, the Texas legislature passed a bill May 30 allowing concealed handgun carry on the state's college and university campuses. The bill has compromises, though, as it allows state schools to create supposed gun-free zones, and it gives private schools the option of forbidding guns on their campuses — like most other private businesses have the right to do. Texas Gov. Greg Abbot said he would sign the bill, making Texas one of 10 states that allow firearms on college campuses. But by the way some people are talking, you'd think the Lone Star State proposed some radical idea. Baylor University professor Lynn W. Tatum said, "The perception in academia will be that Texas is a free-fire zone with yokels in the classrooms packing heat." The underlying assumption is that college students are not mature enough to strap on a gun every morning. It's part of the condescending attitude that although they are legal adults, old enough to vote and be drafted into the military (where they carry guns, by the way), college students are still not recognized as fully adult. Besides, with all the focus on campus rape, Texas did well to remember that an armed society is a polite society. -The Patriot Post

Less than one month before the deadline to reach a final nuclear deal with Iran, things are going swimmingly. Or not.
Despite Barack nObama’s announcement that Iran’s nuclear program has been “frozen” during the past 18 months of negotiations, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in its latest report that Iran’s stockpile of nuclear fuel has actually grown by about 20% during that time. And according to the Center for Security Policy’s Fred Fleitz, were Iran to enrich this uranium to weapons grade, it would be enough to make at least nine nuclear weapons. How comforting.
The New York Times reported that two potential reasons for the growth are “technical” difficulties preventing Iran from converting some of the uranium into fuel rods for reactors and attempts to gain an “edge” in the event negotiations fail. According to Fleitz, though, it’s what the Times didn’t report that is more troublesome: namely, “serious concerns … that Tehran may be trying to get the international community to allow it to have more centrifuges in a final nuclear agreement by manipulating the output of centrifuges it is currently operating to make them appear less efficient.” -The Patriot Post

NO DO-OVERS FOR PERRY
Keep a good thought for poor Rick Perry. In his road to personal political redemption, he can’t even catch a break on his announcement day. On the day that Perry had long planned to kick off his presidential do-over, the former Texas governor finds himself upstaged by Jeb Bush’s announcement of an announcement now set for June 15 and Hilly Clinton’s visit to Perry’s native Texas.
Perry’s announcement woes are a microcosm of his challenges in this cycle compared to the last one.
Four years ago, Perry had the biggest boots of any candidate other than frontrunner Mitt Romney, whom Perry would quickly surpass in national polls. Relying on that stature, Perry made a cocky move with his announcement, dissing Iowa’s then-relevant straw poll and holding an event in South Carolina. He didn’t just skip Iowa’s big weekend, he tried to overshadow it.
It didn’t sound so crazy back then. Perry was in second place and trailed frontrunner Romney by 8 points in the Fox News poll out just before his announcement in the first week of August 2011. By the end of the month, Perry was in first place, leading Romney by 8 points. Perry would hold the lead for all of the next month, sometimes with margins of almost 20 points over Romney in polls.
But after a painful September in which Perry looked flat-footed as Romney and others savaged him over immigration and Perry’s call for a Social Security overhaul, Perry fell from the top spot and never recaptured it. Conventional wisdom wrongly remembers Perry’s collapse as tied to his infamous “oops” moment at a November CNBC debate. But that was the coda to his collapse, not its cause. By then, the Fox News poll had him in fourth place with just 7 percent of the vote.
By the time Perry got to the Iowa caucuses two months later, he would finish fifth at a moment when he badly needed a solid showing. Caucus goers no doubt remembered his big-foot act from the summer and shunned him. Perry tried to cash in on his South Carolina credit line, but facing insurmountable odds, dropped out two days before the vote and endorsed Newt Gingrich for president of the United States.
This time, Perry is focused on avoiding the mistakes of the past but his situation is entirely different. Perry is in the long-shot category. He is in a tie for ninth place and drawing just 4 percent of the vote in this week’s Fox News poll. There hasn’t been a poll on Texas’ March 1 primary for nearly four months, but at that point, Perry was in fourth place with 8 percent of the vote in the state he governed for 14 years.
While Perry made his own weather four years ago, this time he is riding out storms of others’ making. Humility is almost always an attractive quality in politicians, but less so when it is so clearly merited as in Perry’s case.
Republicans were eager for a fresh-faced conservative alternative in 2012. Last time, Perry was the only credible candidate who met that definition, now Republicans have a half-dozen or so choices in that regard. With Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and others on offer, it’s hard to see the necessity of Perry in this already crowded race. And getting an elbow on announcement day from his old enemies in Bush world shows that Perry’s payback continues.
Perry’s wife, Anita, told CNN on Wednesday that she blamed herself for pushing her husband into his first run even though he was bound for a painful and complicated back surgery and recovery. It’s a sad story for a couple and a candidate, but not a rationale for a candidacy.

nObama struggling to sway Dems on trade push, as unions oppose
(Kara Rowland - foxnews.com) ~ President nObama, despite launching a full-court press to woo skeptical Democrats, is struggling to cobble together the votes for his trade agenda in the House... as union leaders ramp up their own pressure campaign to kill it. The so-called fast-track trade bill -- which would limit Congress' ability to amend future trade deals negotiated by the White House -- cleared the Senate last month with the help of 14 Democratic senators. But the White House faces an even bigger lift in the House, where progressive lawmakers aligned with labor groups are urging their colleagues to oppose the Trade Promotion Authority bill. The issue has flipped the script in Congress, with Republican leaders backing it and rank-and-file Democrats largely opposed. Democratic leaders remain officially undecided, as the president fights for the 218 votes needed to pass. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/04/obama-struggling-to-sway-dems-on-trade-push-as-unions-crank-up-opposition/

PENTAGON: IRAN MILITARY DOCTRINE IS 'DEFENSIVE'
(Garth Kant) ~ A Pentagon report claims Iran’s military doctrine is primarily “defensive,” but one of the nation’s top specialists on the Islamic theocracy calls the assertion “completely off the mark.”... In fact, Clare Lopez of the Center for Security Policy points out the Pentagon actually contradicts that claim itself, in its own report. “In one sentence, the report describes the regime’s ‘aggressive policies, such as use of covert action and terrorism’ and then reverses itself by calling such policies ‘primarily defensive,’” Lopez told WND. “This is the very definition of incoherence,” she added. The Washington Free Beacon obtained a copy of the report, which is dated January 2015, and was due to Congress at the start of the year. Analysts told the Beacon, “the delay appeared designed to avoid upsetting Tehran and the nuclear talks.” How many more Americans does this regime get to kill before Pentagon officials are required to honor their oath to protect and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies foreign and domestic? http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/pentagon-iranian-military-doctrine-is-defensive/

Sunni Tribes Need Arms and Support to Fight ISIS
(Daveed Gartenstein-Ross) ~ While American officials point their fingers at the Iraqi military’s shortcomings, the Islamic State’s recent conquest of Ramadi is a U.S. policy failure. The United States still has an opportunity to turn that around, but the window is rapidly closing... Ramadi had for years been a symbol of the errors made by ISIS’s predecessor, Al Qaeda in Iraq. The Awakening movement — in which Sunni tribes rebelled against Al Qaeda’s excesses during Iraq’s civil war — was announced in Ramadi in September 2006. The anti-Qaeda uprising served as a model that was exported throughout Iraq, with the U.S. military playing a key role. This method of tribal engagement was central to Al Qaeda’s defeat in 2007-08. It is thus natural that U.S. officials hoped Sunni tribal engagement could similarly counter the Islamic State. But the U.S. was slow to arm the tribes, even after ISIS launched an offensive in September 2014 that captured several Anbar cities. This offensive culminated in the massacre of over 700 members of the Albu Nimr tribe. http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/gartenstein-ross-daveed-sunni-tribes-need-arms-and-support-to-fight-isis/

Next Up: Nuclear Talks With North Korea?
(Claudia Rosett) ~ Beyond the sound and fury of the Iran nuclear talks lies a big follow-up question: What, if anything, does President nObama propose to do during his final stretch in office about the growing nuclear threat of North Korea?... Just this April, The Wall Street Journal reported that according to China’s estimates, “North Korea may already have 20 warheads, as well as the capability of producing enough weapons-grade uranium to double its arsenal by next year.” As far as nObama has displayed any policy toward North Korea to date, it has consisted chiefly of his administration’s amorphous “strategic patience,” which some have dubbed “strategic neglect.” This has entailed a hodge-podge of toothless scoldings, scattered sanctions and U.S. backing for ineffective United Nations Security Council Resolutions, marking such occasions as North Korea’s 2009 and 2013 nuclear tests. http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/claudia-rosett-next-up-nuclear-talks-with-north-korea/

Iran Will Walk
(Lawrence A, Franklin) ~ Most intelligence analysts and journalists assume that because Iran's leadership endorsed the negotiations and has been the beneficiary of several key concessions by the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany)... that an agreement is imminent. Forecasters have been predicting what the likely consequences of such a deal would be: negative. But what if the Iranians walk? Sanctions never hurt the regime's ruling class; lifting them only helped the regime to solidify its power over its people. A nuclear deal combined with an improvement in the commercial and business relations with the West would be inimical to IRGC interests. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5895/iran-will-walk

Maajid Nawaz Just Indirectly Called 2 CAIR Officials "Insane"
(investigativeproject.org) ~ The National Union of Students, a confederation of 600 student unions representing more than 95 percent of all higher education unions in the United Kingdom, passed a motion Tuesday to align with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign as part of a worldwide effort to boycott Israel... The same group rejected a motion in October condemning ISIS out of concerns it would "become a justification for war and blatant islamophobia." The failed motion called for support to "Iraqis trying to bridge the Sunni-Shia divide to fight for equality and democracy, including defence of the rights of the Christian and Yazidi-Kurd minorities." It also specifically condemned the Islamic State and expressed support for the Kurdish Peshmerga fighting it. Seeing that fail, but a boycott of Israel pass, promptedMaajid Nawaz, a Liberal Democrat candidate in the 2015 parliamentary elections and prominent anti-extremism activist, to tweet his disapproval, saying it represents "Everything wrong with the Modern Left." In a subsequent comment, Nawaz, a former recruiter for the radical Islamist group Hizb-ut-Tahrir who now combats the Islamist narrative, said that anyone who "entertains the idea" that Israel is as bad as ISIS "is frankly insane." http://www.investigativeproject.org/4870/maajid-nawaz-just-indirectly-called-2-cair

Supreme Court Decides Islam is More Important than 2nd Amendment
(Onan Coca) ~ On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Muslim woman who sued Abercrombie & Fitch on the basis of discrimination because they denied her a job because she refused the dress code banning headscarves while at work... First of all, I wonder if the court would rule in the same way if the girl in question was a Christian and was denied a job because she refused to remove a cross from around her neck. But I digress. Let’s just focus on the 8-1 decision by the Supreme Court to award damages to Samantha Elauf. Of course the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is thrilled because this is a feather in their cap after they sued on behalf of Elauf. http://eaglerising.com/19333/supreme-court-decides-islam-is-more-important-than-the-2nd-amendment/

House Looks to End Operation Choke Point
(fixthisnation.com) ~ Of all the nObama administration’s sneaky efforts to undermine the Second Amendment, Operation Choke Point may be the sneakiest... This Justice Department initiative – still shrouded in layers of secrecy – was supposedly intended to protect consumers against fraud by discouraging banks from doing business with “high risk” establishments. Chief among those establishments are pawn shops, payday lenders, and gun dealers. Critics say that, in practice, Operation Choke Point has shut down reputable businesses. Now the House of Representatives has approved the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act with an amendment that prohibits funding Operation Choke Point. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer of Missouri, the amendment’s sponsor, said it was a necessary step for freedom. “My colleagues and I will continue to ensure the Justice Department and FDIC enforcement actions are focused on actual threats and risks and not politics and ideology as we continue to move forward with the fight to end this illegal program once and for all.” http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/house-looks-to-end-operation-choke-point.

Sessions to nObama: Why nObamatrade's is a Secret?
(Matthew Boyle) ~ Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, has written a scathing new letter to President Barack nObama pressuring him to explain why nObamatrade has been so secretive... “On May 6th of this year, I sent you a letter (enclosed) regarding your request for Congress to grant you fast-track executive authority,” Session wrote to nObama on Friday in a letter provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release. “Under fast-track, Congress transfers its authority to the executive and agrees to give up several of its most basic powers. “These concessions include: the power to write legislation, the power to amend legislation, the power to fully consider legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote. “The latter is especially important since, having been to the closed room to review the secret text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, it is clear it more closely resembles a treaty than a trade deal. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/05/exclusive-sessions-to-obama-why-are-you-keeping-obamatrades-new-global-governance-secret/?utm_source=Liberty_Headlines_Is_Giving_Your_Site_Free_Traffic_for_Now&AID=7236.
Border Chopper Brought Down, Fired From Mexican Side Of Border
(rickwells.us) ~ It’s doubtful that the Mexicans or the White House will even acknowledge the event, the latest act of war against the United States by our hostile enemy to the south... They’re already conducting a full scale invasion of our nation with the blessing of he complicit White House occupant. He’s probably fine with a little warning shot to the Border Patrol not to get in the way of a peaceful smuggling operation. Breitbart Texas has learned that a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopter was shot down or forced to initiate an emergency landing in Laredo, Texas due to receiving gunfire from the Mexican side of the border. The helicopter was interdicting a narcotics load and working alongside agents from the U.S. Border Patrol, who operate under the umbrella of the CBP. The helicopter was operating in the Laredo Sector of Texas, immediately across the border from the Los Zetas cartel headquarters of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. http://rickwells.us/border-chopper-brought-down-fired-upon-from-mexican-side-of-border-militarizing-the-invasion/

IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT
KT McFarland
.
(kt@ktmcfarland.com) ~ If press reports are accurate, the nObama Administration is negotiating an historic deal with Iran which is both unverifiable and unenforceable. And, since the President refuses to present it to Congress as a treaty requiring ratification, it’s probably also unconstitutional. Without anytime/anyplace inspections the agreement is unverifiable. If sanctions are lifted on Day One, Iran has little incentive to abide by the agreement on Day Two. If the President tries to ‘snapback’ sanctions on Day Three, he will run into enormous pressure from all the companies that don’t want to give up lucrative business contracts.
.
The President is betting if he gives the Iranian regime everything it wants, the mullahs will abandon their support for terrorist movements, forsake their expansionist policies, and stop chants of death to America and their calls for the annihilation of Israel.

If the President’s bet is wrong, he will have enabled Iran’s economy to surge, blessed their nuclear weapons program, and guaranteed the survival of the Iranian regime to continue its aggressive policies. And he will have ignited a nuclear arms race in the most unstable, dangerous part of the world.
