 ARIZONA PASSES LAW REQUIRING HIGH-SCHOOL CIVICS TEST 
Gov. Doug Ducey, R-Ariz., signed the American Civics Act making Arizona the first state to require high school students to pass 60 out of 100 questions on the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization civics test. The Arizona Republic reports that the class of 2017 will be the first group impacted by the new law. Students can start taking the test in eighth grade and are allowed to continue retaking it until they pass. The test is the same one immigrants take when seeking citizenship.  -Fox News

 War Against ISIL Now in Europe  
After a violent Islamist took hostages at a Kosher market in France, European police traced the man's connections across Europe, arresting another man who wanted to buy a car from the jihadi's wife, and apprehending one more in Germany on suspicion that he had returned from Syria after fighting with ISIL. The investigation came to a head in the Belgium town of Verviers Friday, as Belgium police closed in on a group of jihadis about to launch a terrorist attack in that country. Belgian prosecutor Thierry Werts told reporters after the raid, "This operational cell of about 10 people, some of whom had returned from Syria, was on the point of launching significant terrorist attacks in Belgium. During the search, certain suspects immediately opened fire at special forces of the police with automatic weapons. They opened fire for several minutes. Two suspects were killed and a third was arrested." CNN now reports there may be 20 such "sleeper cells" across Europe, plotting eminent attacks. Because many of these jihadis are fighters who returned to their home countries after fighting for ISIL in the Middle East. In other words, the fear that ISIL would fragment and take their terror to the West is realized. More...

 'Every Religion Has Its Dignity'?  
Pope Francis is no stranger to making waves with what he says, and his pronouncement regarding Islam, the jihadi attack on Charlie Hebdo and free speech is no exception. "One cannot provoke, one cannot insult other people's faith, one cannot make fun of faith," the pope declared. "There is a limit. Every religion has its dignity." We take issue with a couple of things here. Let's start with "cannot" instead of "shouldn't." Certainly, people should be respectful in dialogue and debate, but free speech is a universal right worth defending -- even vulgar, unintelligent and pointless speech such as that produced by Charlie Hebdo. More to the point, not all religions have dignity. Any religion that kidnaps girls to deploy them as suicide bombers, that beheads innocent victims, that slaughters playwrights and cartoonists for expressing their beliefs, or that flies airliners into skyscrapers has no dignity-The Patriot Post

 Duke Cancels Plans to Broadcast Muslim Prayer From Chapel  
Duke University prides itself in tolerance. This is probably why the university intolerantly canceled a talk on motherhood in 2010 because the university learned the speakers were pro-life. And then there was the time in 2013 when the open-minded academy kicked Chick-fil-A off campus because three people emailed the administration to complain about the restaurant after its CEO declared his support of traditional marriage. On the other hand, the spirit of inclusiveness compelled the university to announce it would broadcast the Muslim 1 p.m. call to prayer every Friday starting Jan. 16. But after the likes of Franklin Graham asked alumni to pull support from the school, the school backed down and announced that Muslim students will only gather in the quad before using the chapel for Friday prayer, sans an amplified call to prayer. Duke Vice President of Government Affairs Michael Schoenfeld told the Associated Press, "Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students. However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect." The problem for Duke is that they believe some faiths deserve more inclusivity and tolerance than others. More...   -The Patriot Post

 Carter Official Slams nObama's Foreign Policy  
Foreign policy guru Leslie Gelb is no conservative -- he's the former assistant secretary of state for Jimmy Carter. Early on, Gelb championed Barack nObama's administration and the change it brought from the George W. Bush years. But now, the hope has faded. Late to the party, Gelb writes, "The failure of nObama or Loose Lips Biden to show up in Paris made clear that most of the president's team can't be trusted to conduct U.S national security policy and must be replaced -- at once. Here's why America's failure to be represented at the Paris unity march was so profoundly disturbing. It wasn't just because President nObama's or Vice President Loose Lips Biden's absence was a horrendous gaffe. More than this, it demonstrated beyond argument that the nObama team lacks the basic instincts and judgment necessary to conduct U.S. national security policy in the next two years. It's simply too dangerous to let Mr. nObama continue as is -- with his current team and his way of making decisions. America, its allies, and friends could be heading into one of the most dangerous periods since the height of the Cold War. Mr. nObama will have to excuse most of his inner core, especially in the White House." But even that won't be enough if nObama remains his old, stubborn self. Gelb adds, "In the end, making the national security system work comes down to one factor, one man -- Barack nObama." Indeed it does, and that's why we're in bad shape until at least 2017. Then again, Hanoi John Kerry took James Taylor to France to sing "You've got a friend," so that should fix it.  -The Patriot Post

 Russian Defense Minister in Iran for Arms Pact Talks  
(Adam Kredo) - Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu is in Iran for high-level talks with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei about boosting Tehran’s supply of submarines, torpedoes, and sea-based cruise missiles...according to Russian media reports and sources familiar with details of the talks. Shoigu, whose trip is being kept quiet with few details being released publicly, landed in Tehran on Monday to talk with Iranian leaders about “increasing defense cooperation and arms trade with the Islamic republic,” the Moscow Times reported. The talks will focus on Iran’s desire to purchase from Russia a slew of advanced military hardware that would significantly boost Tehran’s sea power, particularly in the Gulf of Oman, according to one source familiar with the substance of the talks.       http://freebeacon.com/national-security/russian-defense-minister-in-iran-for-arms-pact-talks/

 GOP: Articulate Republican values  
(David Limbaugh) - If we can’t have a wholly unified Republican Party, can the GOP at least agree on some major issues that are essential to the Republican brand and, more importantly, help to get this country back on the right track?...If we can’t come together on some of the basic issues that have always defined us, how do we effectively oppose President nObama’s ongoing destructive agenda? How do we sell ourselves in 2016 as not just a plausible but an imperative alternative? Part of our problem, especially in presidential races, is that too many among us are fearful that if they advocate truly conservative solutions, we’ll be scorned by the media, the PC culture, the finger-wagging Democratic Party and the liberal establishment and lose elections. They simply don’t believe in the power of our ideas anymore.       http://www.wnd.com/2015/01/gop-articulate-republican-values/

 Paul Krugman Rejected by His Peers  
(John C. Goodman) - Paul Krugman has become an embarrassment to the economics profession...Despite his Nobel Prize and despite his previous high regard in the profession, his twice-a-week editorials in The New York Times are causing even progressive economists to treat him as somewhat of a kook. Since 2011, the United States has followed what Krugman correctly calls a policy of “austerity.” For example, the federal budget deficit has declined from 8.4 percent of GDP in 2011 to a predicted 2.9 percent of GDP for all of 2014. All along the way Paul Krugman protested that such policies would prolong the recession and even push us into a “low-grade depression.” In fact the opposite occurred. As Jeffrey Sachs wrote the other day:       http://townhall.com/columnists/johncgoodman/2015/01/17/paul-krugman-rejected-by-his-peers-n1944174/page/full

 nObama buys attention with other people's money  
(washingtonexaminer.com) - With just two years left in the White House, President nObama faces a major challenge — not so much from Republicans as from the public at large...As Democrats look ahead to 2016 and imagine the coming campaign of a yet-to-be-chosen nominee, nObama risks being written off by all parties as irrelevant. Having now lost both houses of Congress, nObama has lost the platform from which he can set the agenda. Soon, his party will choose a new leader to move forward, and he will be a thing of the past. This means nObama must now go to greater lengths than before in order to assert his relevance and keep the attention of a weary public. To that end, his proposals are now beginning to match the worst stereotype of liberal policymaking — a stereotype often unfairly applied, but which certainly fits now. nObama's ideas are getting more expensive and more generous with other people's money, because that's what he believes it will take to keep the public's attention.       http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/in-the-face-of-irrelevance-obama-buys-attention-with-other-peoples-money/article/2558838?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI%20-%2001/19/15&utm_medium=email

 Texas Islamic Protest Erupts  
(Bob Price) - The protest over the Honor the Prophet conference nearly turned violent as the two sides clashed over an incident in the parking lot. The incident occurred shortly after another heated verbal altercation occurred in the parking lot driveway that served as a demilitarized zone of sorts...The crowds from both sides had filled the driveway and the Muslim driver was attempting to exit the parking lot. He was blaring his horn in an inflammatory manner. One of the protesters placed a sign with the image of Muhammad under the front right tire of the vehicle and the driver stopped before running over the image.        http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/01/18/texas-islamic-protest-erupts-graphic-language/#sthash.rLOUnBLg.dpuf

 Fonda: Once a Traitor, Always a Traitor  
(fixthisnation.com) - More than 40 years have passed since Jane Fonda made her trip to Hanoi in North Vietnam, but some wounds last a lifetime...As a liberal activist against the war, Fonda raised the ire of a generation of military men and women (to say nothing of patriotic Americans everywhere) when she decided to visit the enemy in the midst of combat. On her two-week tour of the country, Fonda visited villages, schools, factories, and hospitals. She met American prisoners of war, and – most damningly – posed for pictures atop an anti-aircraft battery. When the pictures, along with Fonda’s insistence that American soldiers had deliberately destroyed the Red River dike system, hit the media, the backlash was swift. Fonda was given the moniker “Hanoi Jane” and labeled a traitor. While younger generations are more likely to relate Fonda to Ted Turner, exercise videos, and the occasional movie role, many Vietnam veterans will always see her as the woman who spit in the face of the troops. That’s why 50 former members of the military and their supporters gathered outside the Weinberg Center for the Arts on Friday night to protest Fonda’s appearance.  http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/fonda-once-a-traitor-always-a-traitor/

 Is it Time for States to Ban Islam? 
(Jim White) - One high-profile blogger says it’s time to propose legislation to ban Islam. Tim Brown, of Freedom Outpost and Sons of Liberty Media, is no stranger to controversy....If you follow any of his widely published articles, or spend any time on the websites that Tim edits, you will quickly realize that Tim is, unapologetically, a devout Christian who backs his worldviews with Biblical truth. However, has Tim Brown gone too far this time?       http://freedomoutpost.com/2015/01/time-states-ban-islam/

 Muslims Want to Pass Shariah Law in Alabama Get Some Bad News  
(conservativetribune.com) - A number of states have taken legislative action to guard their own courts and citizens against the use of a foreign codes of law like Shariah...Alabama just became one of those states by passing a popular amendment to their Constitution during the recent election, according to The Political Insider. The amendment, which prohibits the use of foreign codes of law in Alabama courts, passed overwhelmingly by a vote of about 72-28%. Of course, Muslim groups and suicidally tolerant liberals are going crazy about their religious rights and freedom being violated. But the new law doesn’t infringe on individual religious freedom at all and merely prevents lawyers from making arguments based on Shariah in Alabama courts.       http://conservativetribune.com/muslims-shariah-alabama-bad-news/?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

 Reporter Mystified to Find ISIS is Evil 
(Tad Cronn) - Jurgen Todenhofer, who is believed to be the first Western reporter to live among Islamic State fighters and survive to share the tale, told al-Jazeera that he was surprised by the violence of ISIS...I know. Right? Todenhofer somehow managed to get himself a 10-day vacation among the “non-Islamic” Islamic Statesmen, bringing his son (!?!?!?) along with him as a cameraman. The real “insight” in the interview came when Todenhofer started blabbing about ISIS’s plan to exterminate infidels. “Something that I don’t understand at all is the enthusiasm in their plan of religious cleansing, planning to kill the non-believers. … They also will kill Muslim democrats because they believe that non-ISIL-Muslims put the laws of human beings above the commandments of God,” he said. “… They were talking about (killing) hundreds of millions. They were enthusiastic about it, and I just cannot understand that.”       http://politicaloutcast.com/2015/01/reporter-mystified-find-isis-evil/

 SF Bay Area To Consider Banning Backyard BBQing  
(Brian Anderson) - The problem is, the people of California’s Bay Area, which includes San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose, have too much damn freedom...Sure, they can’t express their 2nd Amendment rights, are banned from using plastic bags, and are forbidden to own butterflies but the liberals in charge still think the people’s freedoms are running rampant. With that in mind, a ban on backyard barbequing is being floated. The booming popularity of outdoor kitchens among homeowners in the San Francisco Bay Area has an increasing number of their neighbors coughing and hacking from the smoke, leading air-quality officials to consider tightening rules on wood-burning pizza ovens and smokers. It’s not just smokers and pizza ovens that are facing restrictions, but all wood or charcoal burning outdoor grills.       http://downtrend.com/71superb/sf-bay-area-to-consider-banning-backyard-bbqing/
 
The “dead” TEA party movement makes
itself felt while media/Democrats/GOP-e
make believe it is gone
Kevin Coach Collins

     (coachisright.com) - Last week both the Republican and Democrat wings of the Uniparty celebrated another “defeat” of the TEA party movement with the re-election of backstabber John Boehner as the Speaker of House. After all, try as it might the TEA party movement was not able to muster the necessary votes to at least push the contest into an embarrassing second round. Closer examination suggests a very different reality.

     The rules of the House say that in an election for Speaker the person who gets the most votes of those actually present when the roll is called wins. Clearly this gives an advantage to an incumbent Speaker as he/she is in a position to work behind the scenes to lower the number of voting members.

     In a collaborative effort that brought both the Republican and Democrat wing of the Uniparty together, the Democrat leader, Nancy Pulosi allowed (more like instructed) 12 of her members to stay away using Mario Cuomo’s funeral as their excuse; even though it was the day before the vote. That would have given them plenty of time to get to Washington and vote, but of course they didn’t. That stunt, combined with a few legitimate weather problems, resulted in a voting poll that was reduced to 408 meaning backstabber Boehner really only needed 205 votes. Going into the vote the TEA party movement Republicans knew they could not derail backstabber Boehner yet 25 of them courageously voted against backstabber Boehner’s re-election.

     This small step forward was absolutely a function of the TEA party movement’s, grass roots activism that elected more conservatives and swung state after state legislature to the conservative side.        

     Perhaps the biggest victory the TEA party movement has scored lately is going completely ignored by the Democrat/media/GOPe and sadly enough the so-called conservative media as well.

      As part of Barack nObama’s sellout of the Cuban people, the Castro Brothers had to agree to release fifty three political prisoners. Initially they ignored this concession, but this week they finally caved in and let these brave Cuban patriots go.

     There can be no doubt whatsoever that if the TEA party movement did not deliver the stunning upsets it did in the Senate and increase the conservative presence in the House, not a single one of them would have been released. A dinky Harry Reid Senate would have turned their back on those people. This was a very sizable victory for our side and a smack in nObama’s face.

Not bad for a “dead” movement.
