 Occidental Vandalism of 9/11 Memorial

As the entire nation took time Sunday to remember the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, some students at Barack nObama's alma mater weren't so patriotic. After the Occidental College Republican Club painstakingly set out 2,997 flags — one for each victim of the attacks — vandals came along and ripped them out of the ground, snapped some in half and tossed them into trash cans. "Today is meant to be a day of respect and remembrance for all the victims and heroes of 9/11," the group said after creating the display. After the vandalism was discovered, they said, "Not one [flag] was left in the ground. Not only did they destroy the memorial, they put posters and fliers up that shamed the victims of 9/11." One of those posters read, "R.I.P. the 1,455,590 innocent Iraqis who died during the U.S. invasion for something they didn't do." The College Republican Club fixed the display at 1:00 in the morning, and stood guard the remainder of the night.
          By the way, the fact that nObama attended Occidental is conspicuously absent from the Washington Post's coverage, though the paper does mention Republican Jack Kemp as a notable alum. They're not called the Leftmedia for nothing.  ~The Patriot Post

 Trump's Putin Praise in Perspective 
l_UtVM4rtZFcoLq1EC4RNDu08tfhI2TtOv5yz7Y5zHxcbARAYVPhJI348lFKMghJ_71ImGUi7qb9SBtjHIXOZc4jVniwOnKDd9QavNHObf96NGo8tLArEPoCzwKLWA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Paul Albaugh: Donald Trump once again managed to confuse a pretty straightforward issue in his comments in the recent "commander in chief forum." Trump restated his previous adoration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying, "Well, he does have an 82% approval rating." Furthermore, he said, "It's a very different system and I don't happen to like the system. But certainly, in that system, he's been a leader, far more than our president has been a leader."
          In a sense, Trump has a point. In fact, Rep. Steve King probably explains it best, highlighting that Putin has been able to stoke the fires in his own country and has brought forth a surge in Russian nationalism. Putin is doing what he thinks will make Russia the great power it once was, and Trump appreciates it.
          Trump's running mate Mike Pence also defended Trump's statement, asserting, "It's inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack nObama has been in this country."
          To be clear, we agree that nObama has been a terrible leader for America. But to be equally clear, Putin is an evil man who has spent his time in office advancing his version of Russia's interests at all cost. Putin kills journalists and political opponents who disagree with him. He essentially has all of Russia under his thumb, which may very well be why his "approval" rating is so high. Moscow's propaganda machine is at full force and Russians are once again literally frightened to be considered dissident.
          Recall that Putin wants to regain Soviet-style control over Eastern Europe and has made gains in doing so. He annexed Crimea and invaded Ukraine. He also supports Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, is on good terms with Iran (to whom, it's worth noting, nObama has freely given billions of dollars), and generally has been undermining U.S interests abroad for years (as has nObama). Putin's goons are the main suspects in the hacking of the DNC's emails. Putin is a former KGB agent, and, as the saying goes, you can take the man out of the KGB, but you can't take the KGB out of the man.
          The bottom line is that Putin is a fascist strongman, so it is troubling that Trump would heap so much praise upon him — even as bad as nObama has been for America. Compare and contrast, but don't praise.
          The Washington Examiner's Philip Klein sums up the flawed moral equivalency argument nicely:

"Trump is dismissing actions Putin took threatening neighbors and working against U.S. interests by essentially saying, well, nObama has done a lot of things that were just as bad. This is exactly the type of moral equivalency that conservatives spent decades fighting against — when those on the far left tried to portray the U.S. and Soviet Union as morally the same, or slam U.S. as being the real terrorists in the Middle East. Imagine the reaction on the right if, in 2008, candidate nObama said Hugo Chavez was a great leader, and when confronted with his human rights violations, said, 'Well you could say the same about what George Bush did in Iraq.'

"This is very important. Trump is not merely saying that Putin has been more effectively advancing his nation's interests than nObama, but he's saying that none of the evil actions he's taking have been any worse than nObama. And that is reprehensible and indefensible. And nobody on the right should be defending him."

Trump is missing out on a golden opportunity to point to the reason why Putin has brought back a Russian resurgence. It's in part a result of the failure of the nObama administration to recognize the geopolitical threat that Russia is to American interests and global stability. It was nObama and the Leftmedia who in 2012 scoffed at then presidential candidate Mitt Romney for stating that Russia was our greatest geopolitical foe.
          Furthermore, it was none other than liar-Hillary Clinton who miserably failed at her much-ballyhooed "reset" of relations with Russia. It was Bill liar-Clinton and the liar-Clinton Foundation who asked his liar-Hillary's State Department for clearance to meet with Russian oligarchs. And it was liar-Hillary who facilitated a lucrative uranium deal for Moscow.
          Trump needs to focus on defeating liar-Hillary Clinton, and making these kinds of statements only enables her to turn the tables and argue that Putin wants a Trump presidency but fears a liar-Clinton one. Nothing could be further from the truth. In addition, Trump needs to be more focused on Liberty, pointing to America's past leaders who have guided us to greatness. If Trump wants to make America great again, he should look there, not to Vladimir Putin.
          In any case, the real story here is liar-Clinton's failure and corruption as secretary of state and nObama's malfeasance as president. It was the weakness of their leadership that has enabled Russia and Putin to get to where they are today. Trump's praise for Putin is dumbfounding, but it also pales in comparison to the liar-Clintons' pay-to-play behavior with the Russians or nObama's "Make American Not-So-Great" policy.  ~The Patriot Post

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ It's ridiculous when an elite university like MIT promotes bogus lectures such as Is Islamophobia Accelerating Global Warming? However, one can argue that it's even worse when our top U.S. government leaders advocate for similar bogus theories such as linking climate change to terrorism... This is what happened recently at the annual Intelligence & National Security Summit in Washington, D.C., when DNI's James Clapper suggested a connection between environmental issues and terrorism. The political left has been trying to establish a linkage between the two topics to provide a way to divert attention away from the actual radical Islamic ideology that is at the heart of modern day terrorism... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/director-of-national-intelligence-climate-change-not-sharia-leads-to-jihad?f=must_reads

{timesofisrael.com} ~ Israeli and US officials hailed the “unbreakable bond” between the two nations on Wednesday as they signed Washington’s largest defense aid package to any country in history... The defense package, also known as the memorandum of understanding, “constitutes the single largest pledge of bilateral military assistance” ever, the State Department said ahead of the signing ceremony in the State Department Treaty Room. The new package will grant Israel $3.8 billion annually — up from the $3 billion pledged under the previous agreed-upon MOU — starting in 2018 and through 2028...  http://www.timesofisrael.com/us-israel-laud-ties-as-unprecedented-military-aid-deal-signed/?utm_source=The+Times+of+Israel+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=db53197355-2016_09_15&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_adb46cec92-db53197355-54638825

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Two of the 17 prisoners who were released from Guantanamo Bay in the first six months of 2016 have returned to fighting for terrorist organizations... the U.S. government confirmed to Reuters late Wednesday. A total of nine prisoners released from the U.S. naval base in Cuba have rejoined militant groups since the beginning of Barack nObama's presidency in 2009, a report released by the Office of Director of National Intelligence on Tuesday found. Eleven former Gitmo Bay prisoners are now suspected of having returned to fighting, the January-through-July report found. That number had previously stood at 12, but dropped after one of the individuals was confirmed to be a fighter and no longer just suspected of it...Thanks to the stupid promise in which more Americans will die. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/two-gitmo-detainees-released-this-year-returned-to-terror-groups/article/2601867

Syrian Christian Refugees to US Still

{stream.org} ~ Ten months ago, Syrian Christian refugees made up about 2.6 percent of the Syrian refugees being accepted into the United States. Today, they make up less than half of one percent... According to the State Department’s Refugee Processing Center, in the last year the United States has admitted only 56 Christians out of 11,157 Syrian refugees granted asylum. But according to the CIA’s World Factbook, Christians make up about 10 percent of Syria’s population. And given how Syrian Christians are being persecuted by ISIS and other jihadist groups, surely they represent at least 10 percent if not more of the would-be refugees from Syria. So, why don’t Christians make up at least 10 percent of the refugees admitted? And why hasn’t the nObama administration, apparently so eager to welcome Syrian refugees to our shores, corrected the imbalance? There are at least two possible explanations...  https://stream.org/syrian-christian-refugees-us-behind-muslims-obama-fine/?utm_source=The+Stream&utm_campaign=39d2c9d9e0-The_Stream_Highlights_Weekly_Newsletter_9_15_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8da00e4cb4-39d2c9d9e0-371883569

{frontpagemag.com} ~ Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri made a new video that appeared on September 9. It offers little that is new: 9/11 is again praised and portrayed as a product of Muslim grievances and payback for Western crimes... he vows a “thousand more” 9/11s; and warns against apostates being more dangerous than original infidels. Only one angle stands out—again, not because it is new, but because it sheds light on a growing phenomenon: black violence against police in general, in the context of Black Lives Matter in particular. In last week’s video, Zawahiri called on American blacks to convert to Islam, asserting that they will never receive justice and will always live in “humiliation” until they convert to Islam and rebel against the “white majority.” He even showed footage of the Nation of Islam’s Malcolm X preaching. While many conclude that al-Qaeda is opportunistically trying to exploit groups like BLT, the reality may be that BLT has from the start long been influenced by al-Qaeda’s rhetoric and propaganda which, as usual, is quietly disseminated on the ground, not by al-Qaeda, but by its many Muslim sympathizers in America. For Zawahiri has in fact for years been calling on American blacks to turn against whites and quoting Malcolm X...

{cnsnews.com} ~ The State Department is hosting a two-day conference on the world's oceans, beginning today, and it's expected to produce a raft of announcements and initiatives, including new marine protected areas... one off the coast of New England -- as well as a ban on single-use plastic bags. Ahead of the conference, press reports said President nObama on Thursday will establish the first national marine monument in the Atlantic Ocean to permanently protect nearly 5,000 square miles of underwater canyons and mountains off the coast of New England. The White House said the designation will lead to a ban on commercial fishing -- an industry that made New England famous -- but a 7-year exception will be granted for the lobster and red crab industries. Recreational fishing will be allowed within the monument. Mining and drilling will be banned in the protected area...What gives this idiot the legal right to order that?  http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/obama-protecting-5k-square-miles-new-england-ban-plastic-bags-also-expected

{meforum.org} ~ Viewed from a 23-year vantage point, the Oslo "peace process" between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) stands as one of the worst-ever calamities to have hit Israelis and Palestinians... For Israel, it has been the starkest strategic blunder in the country's history – establishing an ineradicable terror entity on Israel's doorstep, deepening its internal cleavages, destabilizing its political system, and weakening its international standing. For West Bank and Gaza Palestinians, it has brought about subjugation to corrupt and repressive PLO and Hamas regimes – regimes that have reversed the hesitant advent of civil society in these territories, shattered their socioeconomic wellbeing, and made the prospects for peace and reconciliation with Israel ever more remote... http://www.meforum.org/blog/2016/09/karsh-oslo-disaster

Brigitte Gabriel: Stop nObama’s Refugee
Resettlement More Than 20 Percent

by Dylan
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Brigitte Gabriel hosted and spoke at the 2016, ACT for America’s National Conference and Legislative Briefing. She addressed the group in common sense terms regarding the efforts to control the threat of radical Islamic terrorism... supporting the logical steps advocated by Donald Trump as a means to defend ourselves and loved ones from the scourge that Hussein nObama and his regime are unleashing upon our nation. Gabriel told the group, “Most experts agree that more than twenty percent of Muslims are radicals. It is practically impossible to identify this group from the seventy-five or eighty percent who are not radicals; impossible. So I’m going to give you an example.” Ms. Gabriel continues, “Let’s say twenty percent of Chinese people are infected with a disease that is fatal on contact; fatal on contact. Would we just continue to allow Chinese to enter America rather than be called Chinaphobic? Or would we take the sensible approach of halting Chinese entering the country until we can figure out some way to know who was the carrier of the disease that is fatal on contact? Such as suicide bombers or terrorists when it comes to the refugee population.”...  http://gopthedailydose.com/2016/09/15/brigitte-gabriel-stop-obamas-refugee-resettlement-20-percent-muslims-terrorists/

Retired General Warns What Happens
When You Disagree With nObama
by Charles Campbell
2_x8pE9RhysZvevMRoQu3zmLFznrvGUYAeVvaM96_doVlwQgSHhmrowh_ZFwcaoU_PZAIZEQhSdVshGxuSbq_9fZAUbR3xTI1S7A_bY5W347DyqftzJukvqw0CqYoZ1-9iI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
{westernjournalism.com} ~ Retired four-star general and Fox News military analyst Gen. Jack Keane says disagreeing with President Barack nObama can be dangerous for the careers of military leaders.

In a radio interview on Kilmeade & Friends, Keane said there is a pattern of generals who disagree with the president leaving the military earlier than expected.

“It’s also a fact that a number of our general officers, not all of them but a number of them, were asked to leave before what would normally be accepted as the routine tenure for that particular position, and Gen. (James) Mattis is a case in point who had very strong views on Iran,” Keane said.

Keane has been a longtime critic of nObama’s foreign policy prescriptions, even going so far as to warn Congress that we are losing the war with Islamic State, and adding, “Moreover, I can say with certainty that this nObama’s strategy will not defeat ISIS.”

“Gen. Micheal Flynn, who you know very well and had on your show, was an outspoken proponent for understanding radical Islam, how dangerous this particular threat was and was trying to communicate that, he was not able to serve out his full tenure,” Keane told host Brian Kilmeade. “So yes, that’s another fact that we can substantiate, that there were generals who did leave earlier than what their tenure would be and the characteristic they all shared together is they did disagree with the administration on various points.”

Keane explained that when nObama declared his intention to defeat ISIS, he severely restricted the military’s options right from the beginning.

According to Keane, a normal military campaign procedure usually includes officials putting together different plans, each one detailing the various levels of risk. The president then makes a judgment call based on the plan, something that never happened under the current administration.

nObama wanted no boots on the ground and no civilian casualties for the air campaign. These demands hampered efforts to swiftly defeat ISIS.

When discussing the Iranian nuclear deal, Keane pointed out that Iran always cheats and the only reason we know that is not because of inspection, but because of informants. Iran is attempting to show it is the dominant power in the Middle East and the U.S. is no longer a strong ally.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump echoed the concerns of Keane on Wednesday during the nationally televised “Commander in Chief” forum.

“I think under the leadership of Barack nObama and liar-Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble,” Trump told host Matt Lauer.

“They have been reduced to a point where it’s embarrassing to our country. … And I can just see the great, as an example, Gen. George Patton spinning in his grave as ISIS, we can’t beat.”

Retired Lt. Gen. Flynn echoed Trump’s sentiments, telling Fox and Friends on Thursday the Republican nominee was “absolutely right.”

“I mean, there’s a lot of frustration within the ranks and there’s a lot of frustration I know in the senior leadership about what we’re not able to do,” Flynn added.

Flynn acknowledged that he thought Trump respected the military and its leaders, and had refreshing solutions that are completely opposite to those coming from the nObama administration.

“Donald Trump has enormous respect for our military, for our military leaders and he also said last night for our intelligence professionals,” Flynn said. “I know I have been in a couple of these intelligence briefings that have been in stark contrast to the policy decisions we are seeing coming out of this White House. So this is a very dangerous time.”
