Greece Gets Another Handout With a Bailout 
For the third time since 2010, Greece may be spared the full-blown consequences of an economic tailspin of its own making, at least for now. Over the weekend, negotiators reached a tentative bailout agreement that, if implemented, would infuse upward of $96 billion (€86 billion) into the country's floundering economy. Greece would retain its membership with the Eurozone in return for additional, albeit stricter, austerity measures. However, the deal hinges on the approval of Athens' Parliament, and a history of broken promises have fostered a pessimistic outlook. Entitled and disgruntled Greek citizens recently voted against a referendum, the terms of which, ironically, are an integral part of the new bailout. As The Wall Street Journal reports, "Athens's Parliament has to pass pension overhauls and sales tax increases that voters overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum just one week ago." Will that stop lawmakers, who face voters' contempt, from approving the bailout? "Before the country can get better, it will have to get a lot worse," notes Investor's Business Daily. Greece's GDP has dropped roughly 33% since 2009, yet time and again Greeks have demonstrated how reluctant they are to abandon socialist enslavement. "To grow again, Greece will need to make deeper spending cuts, reduce public pensions, introduce free-market reforms, lighten regulations and tackle endemic political corruption," IBD adds. That will be a tough sell, but it's the only way forward. -The Patriot Post

There's No 'Loophole' in the Background Check System
The New York Times breathlessly reports that Dylan Roof could have been stopped from murdering nine people in Charleston were it not for a flaw in the background check. "A loophole in the check system allowed [Roof] to buy the .45-caliber handgun despite his having previously admitted to drug possession," the Times reports the FBI to have admitted. (The Times story has since been corrected without notation.) The FBI operates the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, though, listening to Democrats, we know it may be shocking to learn that a nearly universal background check system already exists. What may be even more shocking to the Times is that it wasn't a "loophole." It was human error, plain and simple. Someone at the FBI failed to update the system.
The Washington Post, meanwhile, laments, "The disclosure amounts to a heartbreaking admission by the FBI director that the attack on members of a Bible study group at Emanuel AME might have been averted." Perhaps, but perhaps not. Roof was an alleged druggie who killed nine people. Does anyone think there aren't other ways of obtaining firearms than passing a background check? Clearly, the lesson here is twofold: First, enforce the law. Second, there are still times the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. -The Patriot Post

Unsportsmanlike Conduct Against the Redskins
The Washington Redskins lost more yardage in their drive to protect their name from perpetually aggrieved leftist busybodies. On Wednesday, a judge canceled the NFL franchise's federal trademark registrations. U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee's ruling upheld a previous decision by the federal Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. But the clock hasn't run out yet, and Redskins President Bruce Allen promised an appeal. "We are convinced that we will win on appeal as the facts and the law are on the side of our franchise that has proudly used the name Washington Redskins for more than 80 years," Allen said in a statement. But Lee's ruling presented an opportunity for the Redskins' hometown paper, The Washington Post, to give a full hands-on-hips editorial lecture to the team. "The name is going to have to change," the paper finger-wagged, "and the sooner team owner Dan Snyder puts himself on the right side of history, the better it will be for everyone." That "right side of history" blather is what leftists always use when they have no other argument for their policy preference. But the Post also issued what we view as a veiled threat: "No matter what a court eventually determines about the ability of the team to peddle its gear, the damage caused by using a hurtful name will continue." Because they and their fellow race-baiting travelers will never shut up about it. It's the same with the Confederate flag and those who oppose same-sex marriage — the beatings will continue until you submit. -The Patriot Post

If You're White, Shame on You The leftist-inspired deconstruction of traditional America — and by extension, the dominant white Judeo-Christian culture that formed the basis of it — continues apace. MTV has produced “White People,” a documentary in which five young white people are made to feel uncomfortable about their inherently “privileged” position in society. This claptrap is narrated by Jose Antonio Vargas, an openly gay Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose coming out as an illegal alien in a 2011 New York Times column has earned him celebrity status — and apparently, legal immunity.
As the trailer indicates, the documentary aims to “change the way you think about white history” and urges its audience to “all get uncomfortable together” when dealing with racial issues. In a Facebook post accompanied by the picture of the same young white man apparently reduced to tears in the trailer, Vargas spells out his objective: "We cannot have an honest conversation about race in America until we explore and unpack what ‘whiteness' and 'white privilege' mean in America.”
MTV President Stephen Friedman doubles down on this invidious nonsense in a press release. "Whiteness often remains unexamined in conversations about race in this country, even as it acts as the implicit norm against which other racial identities are judged,” he insists. "By shining a spotlight on whiteness, we hope 'White People' will serve as a powerful conversation starter that encourages our audience to address racial bias through honest, judgment-free dialogue.” -The Patriot Post

Citizen Groups Prepared to Monitor Jade Helm
{Kurt Nimmo} ~ Beginning on July 15 when Jade Helm begins, Johnston will coordinate three groups of volunteers to monitor the SEALs, Green Berets and Air Force Special Ops in Bastrop, Big Spring and Junction... “If a team member sees two Humvees full of soldiers driving through town, they’re going to follow them,” Johnston said. “And they’re going to radio back their ultimate location.” Pete Lanteri, a former Marine living in Arizona, founded the Counter Jade Helm Facebook page. The group has six thousand members and has set-up a web page where reports will be posted. “Counter Jade Helm, aka CJH, is a training exercise for the people. In response to the military’s multi-state training, called Jade Helm 2015, citizens will participate in an unofficial fashion to practice counter-insurgency, organizational and intelligence gathering and reporting skills,” the page explains..
4 Supremes alert America: 'Trouble is coming'
{Greg Corombos} ~ America needs to prepare for a major governmental assault on religious liberty in the wake of the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling, but those standing against the tide can find plenty of inspiration from those who pioneered the concept of religious freedom at the American founding... Michael Farris is co-founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association and author of “The History of Religious Liberty.” The book details the fierce fight for the religious freedom provisions that eventually emerged in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Farris said history is critical to understand in the wake of the marriage decision and the brand new threats to liberty being advocated on the political left.

Europe's Great Migration Crisis
{Soeren Kern} ~ Europe's migration crisis is exposing the deep divisions that exist within the European Union, which European federalists have long hailed as a model for post-nationalism and global citizenship... Faced with an avalanche of migrants, a growing number of EU member states have moved decisively to put their own national interests above notions of EU solidarity. Hungary's parliament, for instance, has approved the construction of a massive border fence with Serbia as part of a new anti-immigration law that also tightens asylum rules. The move is aimed at stopping tens of thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East from entering Hungary, which has become a key gateway for illegal immigration into the European Union. I guess the United States isn't the only one having issues with immigration.

Turkey, Tears, and Terrorism
{Burak Bekdil} ~ Turkey's Islamist government, now squeezed in a political drama in which it lost its parliamentary majority for the first time since 2002, has in many recent years boldly challenged its Western allies by calling them to join an allied fight against terror... But the target was not al-Qaeda, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or one of the dozens of different Islamist groups designated by the civilized world as terrorist. Instead, Turkey wanted the West to fight the "terrorist state, Israel." Turkey's Islamist rulers have a deeply corrupted perception of which acts count for terror and which ones do not: Anyone who kills in the name of a cause other than Islamism is probably a terrorist. http://www.meforum.org/5374/turkey-terrorism

nObama’s Next Best Hope For Illegal Immigration “Executive Action”
{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Texas Judge Andrew Hanen previously blocked nObama’s 2014 unconstitutional “Executive Action on immigration” which expanded deferred deportation and granted employment status for illegal aliens... The DOJ appealed the injunction to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. On May 26th, 2015, the DOJ lost and Hanen’s injunction was upheld by a three judge panel within the appellate court (2-1). The DOJ had two options after their loss in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals: Two days after their appellate loss, on May 28th, the DOJ chose the latter. An expedited hearing was scheduled for July 10th, THIS FRIDAY.

World Leaders Urge Media to Drop “Islamic State” Moniker
{totalconservative.com} ~ Britain and Egypt may not share many similarities on the surface, but both countries want their country’s news outlets to start adopting a new sort of language when reporting on the Islamic State... Prime Minister David Cameron and 120 British lawmakers have petitioned the BBC, asking them to stop “Islamic State” in favor of a moniker that would be less offensive to Muslims. “I wish the BBC would stop calling it Islamic State,” said Cameron in a recent radio interview, “because it is not an Islamic state. What it is is an appalling barbarous regime that is a perversion of the religion of Islam and many Muslims listening to this program will recoil every time they hear the words Islamic State.” The BBC swiftly rejected the request that they begin calling the terrorist army “Death Cult,” “Daesh,” “ISIL,” or any other term that separates them from Islam. Cairo, which does not have the same kinds of freedoms surrounding its news media, didn’t bother with requests. They have all but demanded that local news agencies abide by their approved guidelines on ISIS. Among the terms reporters are “discouraged” from using: Islamist, jihadist, and fundamentalist. Instead, reporters should make liberal use of terms like terrorists, slayers, and savages. Why don't the world leader tell Islamic State stop slayering Christians and none believers of Islam. I doubt they will listen to them. http://totalconservative.com/world-leaders-urge-media-to-drop-islamic-state-moniker/

Find Out What Fox News and the Confederate Flag Have in Common
{patriotsandpolitics.com} ~ After appearing on CNN and suggesting that the recent church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina was caused by things like the Confederate Flag that flies over the State House... and “hate speech” from Fox News, South Carolina Representative Todd Rutherford joined Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on his show. O’Reilly played of clip of Rutherford’s earlier comments, where Rutherford said the Dylann Roof murdered nine people: http://patriotsandpolitics.com/find-out-what-fox-news-and-the-confederate-flag-have-in-common/

Iran: Nuclear Deal in Line With Khamenei’s Demands
{Adam Kredo} ~ Iranian sources familiar with the details of a final agreement scheduled to be announced on Monday said that sanctions and an arms embargo against Iran will be lifted and that restrictions on its nuclear activity will only be “temporary” in a deal that falls “within the redlines” laid out by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Iran’s state-controlled media... As world powers work to secure a final deal, Iranian sources are indicating that the United States has caved on most major issues, including the timing of sanctions relief, the length of the deal, and arms sales to Tehran. Initially, U.S official had promised that sanctions would not be lifted until Iran provided full access to its military and non-military nuclear sites. However, this demand appears to be off the table as talks begin to close.

The US Should Fight IRGC Regardless of Nuclear Agreement
{Emma-Jo Morris) ~ According to experts who testified before the Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee, American and Gulf State relations will be tested in the pending Iran deal, especially given the agreements which were decided at the Camp David Summit earlier this summer... “While many of these announced measures would mark a step forward in U.S.-GCC relations, much will depend on follow-through in the months and years to come—particularly with regard to countering Iran’s destabilizing activities,” Michael Eisenstadt, Kahn fellow and Director of Military and Security Studies program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said before Congress on Thursday. “Absent action on this front, many of the announced steps are unlikely to have a significant impact on the broader fabric of U.S.- GCC relations, and on Washington’s ability to influence the policies of particular GCC allies that it finds problematic,” Eisenstadt said.

nObama ‘Almost Criminally Negligent’ on OPM Hack
{Blake Seitz} ~ A former adviser to four presidents on national security said on Sunday that the nObama administration has been “almost criminally negligent” in its response to China’s massive cyber attack on the U.S. government... “I don’t blame the Chinese,” Richard Clarke said on ABC’s Face the Nation. “This is what intelligence agencies do. This is what the United States does. We steal this sort of information. I blame the nObama administration for taking this issue not seriously enough. This is almost criminal negligence.” “Criminal negligence, those are strong words, Richard,” host and former Democratic advisor George Stephanopoulos said. The Office of Personnel Management disclosed last week that the personal information of over 22 million individuals was compromised by the attack. Many of the individuals whose information was stolen work in sensitive areas of the U.S. government. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/counterterror-expert-obama-almost-criminally-negligent-on-opm-hack/

Peters says that nObama’s problem is “he can’t run far enough.” He says that nObama went to the Pentagon for two reasons, that he knows it’s serious now and also because it was a way for him to show that he’s serious without having to do anything serious.

Peters agrees there are underlying problems that we can’t fix, such as “the collapse of a civilization.” He adds, “We can’t do anything about that. What we can do is go after our enemies. After detailing the list of ways that nObama knows how bad things are becoming, Peters points out that nObama can’t bring himself to accept that there is only a military solution. He says two thousand years of religious strife have demonstrated that they can’t be put down through negotiations.

They both agree that nObama is trying to run out the clock on his administration, leaving the ISIS mess for the next president. Peters says that things are becoming so bad that nObama is being driven to take more actions. O’Reilly disagrees, suggesting that theAmerican people are just fine with the Obama hide and hope approach.
