De Blasio Disappointed Assailant Not White
Queens mosque leader Maulama Akonjee and his companion Thara Uddin were murdered Saturday in New York. A double murder in the nation's largest city might not normally make headlines, but Mayor Bill de Blasio decided to weigh in and make it political. "While we do not yet know the motivation for the murders," de Blasio said, "we do know that our Muslim communities are in the perpetual crosshairs of bigotry."
First of all, was that the case here? Police detained the suspected killer Sunday night, and believe he was settling a score in a feud between Muslims and Hispanics. We suppose there is a festering bigotry in these communities, but it doesn't quite fit the narrative leftists normally tell. Maybe, as with George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, the killer in this case was "white Hispanic."
As for the perpetual crosshairs of bigotry, some Muslims certainly claim victim status. "We think it's a hate crime," said one local Muslim. "All this Donald Trump ... we have been dealing with a lot of hatred lately." Yet it is radical Islamists who always have non-Muslims and insufficiently radical Muslims in those crosshairs. The neighborhood where this murder occurred is just a dozen miles from the World Trade Center site, where nearly 3,000 innocents were in the crosshairs of jihadis. And numerous mass-casualty attacks nationwide have been perpetrated by radical Islamists targeting "infidels," not Americans targeting peaceful Muslims. ~The Patriot Post

The nObamaCare Meltdown Continues
Arnold Ahlert: nObamaCare is back in the news — and none of it is good.
Earlier this month, Aetna became the latest of the nation's five largest health insurers to stop expanding its nObamaCare coverage. Just like Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Humana, Aetna is projecting significant losses going forward.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. As Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini explained, 2016 was supposed to be a break-even year for the company's nObamaCare business. Yet so far, Aetna has lost $200 million, and expects to hit $320 million in losses by year's end.
Also this month, Anthem, which initially projected nObamaCare success this year, announced it's expecting "mid-single-digit" losses instead, and CEO Joseph Swedish has told investors the company would be looking for substantial premium increases to make up the difference.
In April, UnitedHealthcare, the nation's biggest health insurer, announced that in 2017 it will be leaving most of the state exchanges where it operates. CEO Stephen Hemsley explained the company could no longer serve these exchanges on an "effective and sustained basis." UnitedHealthcare lost $475 million on nObamaCare exchanges in 2015, and could lose another $500 million this year.
In May, Cigna didn't project profits or losses but said it expected customer reductions in its individual business.
In July, Humana also announced that next year they would service "no more" than 11 state exchanges, down from the 19 states where it sold policies in 2016 — following a staggering $1 billion of losses.
Moreover, the Big Five are attempting to become the Big Three. Anthem wants to take over Cigna, and Aetna and Humana want to merge. Both deals are being held up by the Justice Department, courtesy of antitrust lawsuits.
And then there are — or were — the highly vaunted nObamaCare co-ops. Of the 23 initially established, only seven remain, and six of those are currently on "corrective action plans," Kevin Counihan, a top official from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), told lawmakers.
Plenty of predictions were made about the unsustainability of nObamaCare, but an arrogant president and his Democrat Party colleagues who sold a pack of lies to a "stupid" American public refused to listen. Adding insult to injury the media have now "discovered" the law's tragic flaw, as in nagging problems that "seem to center on lower-than-hoped-for enrollment, sicker-than-expected customers, and a balky internal stabilization system that didn't deliver as advertised and was already scheduled to be pared back next year," NBC reported.
The Hill has also come around, reporting, "The next president could be dealing with an nObamaCare insurer meltdown in his or her very first month."
In the meantime, a bubble similar to the one that led to the 2008 stock market meltdown has been created. And once again arrogance was an integral part of the equation. Taking care of sick people is big business, and while it has been bad for the insurance companies it was a boon for large, merging health care systems and consolidating physician groups, initially touted as desirable by one of the law's drafters. Yet as Dr. Thomas McElroy, CEO of Echelon-Health, explains, "[N]o one came around to ask doctors what would happen when the most complicated patients where shuttled to the exchange plans. A small practice can't survive; that's why doctors are being bought up by hospital groups or abandoning insurance altogether for membership groups."
Health insurance expert Joseph Cortelli further notes that all nObamaCare did was mask the problems associated with the reality that 10% of the population drives 80% of claims costs. "Unless government can continue to pump money into these exchanges, the end result is not hard to imagine," he warns.
That pump isn't happening. In October 2015, the CMS announced that its "risk corridor" program, one of the mechanisms whereby profitable nObamaCare insurers would bail out unprofitable insurers, would only pay 12.6% of claims. In February, a lawless administration illegally moved $3.5 billion in taxpayer funds intended for the U.S. Treasury to insurance companies.
Even overt malfeasance helped. In 2016, average premiums were up substantially in most states.
Next year? "Insurers in 49 states have submitted their premium requests to regulators, and the average 'enrollment-weighted' rate increase, which accounts for market share, is in the range of 18% to 23%, The Wall Street Journal reveals. "The Congressional Budget Office projected 8%."
Presidential politics is part of the equation as well. The fourth enrollment period for the law begins one week before the election. Last year, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) didn't release the final rates until October 25. If it does the same this year, people will have only days to find a plan before deciding whether to cast their vote for liar-Hillary Clinton and her "more of the same (or worse) approach, or Donald Trump, who might perhaps move to repeal and replace nObamaCare.
Or, the most lawless administration in American history could do what it did before the 2014 mid-terms: delay the beginning of the enrollment period until after the election.
Bottom line: The fourth enrollment period is make or break time. Absent an unforeseen and substantial enrollment of healthy Americans to offset older, sicker ones, a death spiral of fewer insurers charging increasingly higher rates — and thus driving more Americans out of increasingly unaffordable coverage — will be realized.4
"I stand by what I said there," Nancy Pulosi stated in 2013, defending her infamous "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it" assertion in 2010. "When people see what is in the bill, they will like it."
They didn't and they haven't. Instead millions of Americans have suffered needlessly for progressive hubris.
The best way to fix America's health care system? Require every government official to be insured by the same program they inflict on the "little people." Nothing could be more effective than that. ~The Patriot Post
Lou Dobbs – The Admitted nObama
Legacy Of Deceit
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Once Again The Censorship Nazis At Facebook have pulled a post and issued us a 24 hour ban without explanation, in defense of the criminal that has stolen the White House, Hussein nObama... In this instance, they were protecting nObama from Lou Dobbs, apparently offended by the facts Dobbs was exposing in this article and the title that was reflective of the truth contained therein. That title, banned by the Facebook Censorship Nazis, was “Lou Dobbs – Disgusted By Shameful nObama Regime, Legacy Of Lies” Every bit of that title is the truth, the reason for the liars and supporters of the lying trash nObama choosing to censor it. They want the liar-Clinton nObama criminal dictatorship to continue and can’t allow his filthy name to be further “tarnished.” Remember, America, when Donald Trump wins, that Facebook is an Illegal Monopoly that must be broken up. The article has been given a less inflammatory and less accurate title and hopefully escaped a second round of censorship. Please help us defeat the enemies of truth by sharing it with your friends.

Senator: U.S. Taxpayer Funds Potentially
Diverted to Hamas Terrorists
by Adam Kredo
{freebeacon.com} ~ A leading Republican senator is calling on the nObama administration to launch a formal investigation into the potential diversion of U.S. taxpayer funds to organizations that have reportedly been infiltrated by the Hamas terror organization... according to new documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) is petitioning the State Department to investigate how much U.S. government and taxpayer money may have been given to charities recently discovered to have been secretly infiltrated by Hamas operatives, according to a letter sent by Rubio to Secretary of State John hanio-Kerry. He is also calling on the nObama administration to suspend all aid to Gaza until reviews can be undertaken to ensure funds are not disbursed to terror organizations. U.S. donations to “numerous humanitarian organizations” have been funneled to Hamas “to support its terror and military organizations,” according to Rubio and information disclosed by the Israeli government...I really doubt nObama will follow thru on the investigation.

Another Example of the nObama Admin’s Dishonest Campaign to Sell Iran Nuke Deal
by FRED FLEITZ
by FRED FLEITZ
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Over the last few months, a lot of new information has come out on how the nObama White House misled the American public, Congress and the news media about the nuclear deal with Iran before Congress voted on the agreement last September... According to a May 5, 2016 New York Times profile of National Security Council Adviser Ben Rhodes, the nObama administration used false narratives to promote the nuclear deal and conducted a campaign to manipulate and mislead journalists as part of a media "echo chamber." Several liberal organizations helped facilitate this echo chamber. One of the most notorious was the far-left Ploughshares Fund which sought and received funding from liberal philanthropist George Soros. This included an April 2015 request for $750,000 to use mainstream media to counter opponents of the nuclear deal and parrot White House talking points... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/another-example-of-the-obama-admins-dishonest-campaign-to-sell-iran-nuke-deal?f=must_reads

Syria's Continuing Humanitarian
Disaster Seen in Child's Face

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ As the United States, Russia and the rest of the international community continue their Syrian ceasefire discussions, the slaughter of civilians continues in Aleppo, with Russian jets unloading bombs over the city again this week... On Wednesday, a five-year-boy became the face of the worsening humanitarian disaster, as he was videotaped climbing into an ambulance in Aleppo, his face bloodied. A still photo from that video, printed Thursday in British newspapers, comes from the Aleppo Media Center, which said the boy was inside a building hit from the air on Wednesday. In Washington on Wednesday, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said Russia was "exacerbating what is already a very dangerous situation ... by using Iranian air bases as a way to carry out more intensive bombing runs that continue to hit civilian populations... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/syrias-continuing-humanitarian-disaster-seen-in-childs-face?f=must_reads

There are more than one thousand of these, distributed unequally in many countries, with Italy at the top, followed by China. The largest single category of sites consists of religious sites, categorized under the heading of cultural locations as distinct from natural ones. Within this category, UNESCO has carried out many dialogues with communities in order to ensure that religious sensitivities are acknowledged and guaranteed. UNESCO has undertaken many measures in this field. In 2010, the organization held a seminar on the "Role of Religious Communities in the Management of World Heritage Properties."... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/8548/temple-mount-unesco

Saudi Arabia Strikes Back
by John Hannah
by John Hannah
{defenddemocracy.org} ~ For those concerned about the fallout from President Barack nObama and his administration’s nuclear deal with Iran — the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA — the hits just keep on coming... The recent revelation that the United States handed over $400 million in cash to Iran on the same day that it was releasing four American captives is but the latest disturbing detail in the saga that has become nObama’s extended experiment in appeasing the mullahs. Add it to the long list of other threatening post-deal developments, including the intensification of Iran’s ballistic missile program, the continuation of its efforts to illicitly procure nuclear materials, and the expansion of its aggressive and destabilizing activities across the Middle East. Oh, and don’t forget the detention of three new American hostages, of course... http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/saudi-arabia-strikes-back/

Tracking freedom’s enemies
by Clifford D. May
{defenddemocracy.org} ~ If I were to ask an intelligent person like you what happened in the 20th century, or the 19th or the 18th, you could probably sum up the most significant developments... But if I asked you what is happening in the 21st century, how would you reply? Is the West in decline? Or is it just going through a rough patch? Is the rise of Islamic totalitarianism inexorable? Or will it hit a wall as did the atheistic totalitarianisms that preceded it? Is freedom in retreat or just pausing before its next advance? You see what I mean? It’s not easy to describe the sea in which we swim. Cultures, nations and individuals learn from experience — except when they don’t. They try to do better — and frequently fail. After World War II, the U.N. — meant to be an improvement on the League of Nations — “proclaimed” the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It set out, “for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected.” Self-evidently, the desired result has not come about... http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/may-clifford-d-tracking-freedoms-enemies/

The Three Most Important Issues For 2016:
Immigration, Immigration, Immigration
by Michael Cutler
{frontpagemag.com} ~ In real estate it is said that the three most important factors to consider are “location, location, location.”... When considering the candidates Americans should vote for in the upcoming elections, the key issue is simply immigration or, as I wrote in a recent article, “It’s the Immigration Problem, Stupid: Secure borders are synonymous with safety and that's what Americans want in 2016.” Elected officials and government employees, especially those in law enforcement and intelligence, hold positions of trust. They take an oath, upon entering on duty, in which they swear (affirm) to uphold the Constitution and our laws and protect our nation from all enemies. There is no ambiguity where the purpose of that oath is concerned...

liar-Hillary to FBI: Colin Powell Advised
Me to Use Private Server!
by Tiffany Gabbay
{truthrevolt.org} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton has been caught in so many bald-faced lies concerning her mishandling of classified information while serving as Secretary of State, yet she continues to double- and triple-down on the deceit and blame-shifting... Among the other stories peddled to authorities, apparently the Democratic Nominee told the F.B.I. that former Secretary of State Colin Powell had actually advised her to use a personal email account for conducting State Department businesses. This information came to light Tuesday after the FBI submitted its investigation notes to Congress for review. The notes provide an in-depth account of liar-Clinton's three-and-half-hour long interview with the Bureau. The New York Times, in a rare moment of actual journalism, provided details about liar-Clinton's claim concerning Powell:...liar-Hillary you took an oath remember.

With liar-Hillary, Where There’s
Smoke There’s Fire
by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ Even with all her baggage, the mainstream media continues to paint liar-Hillary Clinton as an angel of light.
As nice as she looked at her acceptance speech, fake smiles and pretty white pantsuits can’t cover over ugly. The kind of ugly that flows from the inside out. Nice smiles can’t whitewash over grieving Benghazi family members who tell us she lied to them about why those heroes died. They died in a country she and President Barack nObama botched up so bad, the president had to authorize an uptick in U.S.-led attacks against ISIS recently.
We’re told that the woman in a white pantsuit cares. Sure. liar-Hillary showed us how much she cares — about herself and personal convenience rather than our national security — when she broke State Department rules and set up a personal server in her home.
The FBI admitted that liar-Hillary lied to the American people about her emails and then she turned around and lied about what the FBI said about her lies.
Makeovers can’t make over that.
And now WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange just announced another email dump is on the way that he claims will demonstrate that liar-Clinton tried to arm “rebels,” jihadists, in Syria. We’ll wait to see, but two things are pretty certain: liar-Hillary would deny it using infamous liar-Clinton legalese. And the mainstream media would change the subject, introducing newfangled nonsense about why liar-Hillary’s opponent no matter who is unfit for the presidency.
Even if a WikiLeaks dump revealed that the newly released ISIS “hit list” of U.S. soldiers’ information was hacked from information on liar-Hillary’s server, we’ll be told, “There’s nothing to see here; time to move on.”
So much is at stake, reaching far beyond Supreme Court appointment.
Let me count the ways.
It’s pretty obvious that a Donald Trump administration or any Republican administration would make liberals accountable for things the media ignored. Like when the nObama administration was caught spying on U.S. journalists ... or when the Department of Justice targeted political opponents ... or that the Internal Revenue Service denied tax status to conservative groups ... or the Veterans Administration delayed and denied care to veterans.
Surely Both Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton also fear what a Trump presidency might mean, given liar-Hillary’s State Department email saga refuses to go away. Judicial Watch just released almost 300 pages of emails which call into question if there was a relationship between State Department and the liar-Clinton Foundation during her tenure as secretary of state.
To be clear, the recent email scandal isn’t liar-Hillary’s first. As reported by the New York Post in May, as first lady, liar-Hillary was caught up in “Project X.” While investigating scandals to which liar-Hillary was attached like Whitewater, Filegate and Travelgate, investigators discovered that more than a million subpoenaed emails went mysteriously missing.
Surprise, surprise.
Of course, liar-Hillary seemed to blame everything on a “vast right-wing conspiracy” and the Teflon duo to which nothing seems to stick received nothing more than a hand slap.
The smoke’s been rising around liar-Hillary for decades. Even still a nice promotion awaits someone so scandalous, the faithful see her presidency as part of “God’s judgment on America” if she wins.
We’ve heard it said that there can be smoke without fire. Truth is, though, there’s rarely smoke without fire. So, rather than calling for a makeover, liar-Hillary’s handlers should’ve grabbed fire extinguishers and called 911.
