President Xi Needs an Uncomfortable Visit to U.S. 
Last year, Barack nObama visited China in an effort to rally support for an international treaty on climate change and underscore the economic opportunities the two countries have in working together. Oh, how things have changed. Chinese President Xi Jinping is in Washington, DC, this week, and the issues facing the two countries are more ... awkward. The Chinese stock market plummeted at the end of August due to an opaque, centrally planned economic system, which rocked the global economy. China continues to grow belligerent in the Pacific, laying claim to vast swaths of the South China Sea, and sending ships to steam off the Alaskan coast while nObama visited the Arctic Circle. Furthermore, the country has detained American Sandy Phan-Gillis since March on charges of "spying and stealing state secrets." This comes at a time when the U.S. strongly suspects it was China that stole the data of millions of federal employees and everyone who applied for a security clearance. "Denying ourselves engagement with the Chinese would deny ourselves the ability to advance our interests and to make clear to China where we stand,"said Ben Rhodes, deputy national security advisor for strategic communications. "We won't paper over those differences." We're not holding our breath. After all, nObama's paper tiger diplomacy has created room for China to flex its might toward America. An uncomfortable visit would do much to restore America's spine in the relationship, so it's too bad it's going to be a lavish "state visit" instead. -The Patriot Post

Hilly Flip-Flops on Her Keystone Pipeline Legacy On Tuesday, Hilly Clinton expounded a bit on the legacy she formed while secretary of state. She's previously boasted of playing a "leading role" in starting the review process for building the proposed Keystone pipeline, which was designed to transport crude oil from Canada to American refineries in the Gulf of Mexico. It's been gummed up in bureaucratic review since 2010, though Clinton said then she would be "inclined" to approve it. But now, she wants the pipeline buried. "I think it is imperative that we look at the Keystone pipeline as what I believe it is — a distraction from important work we have to do on climate change," Clinton told a crowd in Iowa. "Therefore I oppose it." Clinton's decision was not based on principles good for the economy, but rather political gain with her ecofascist base. Fellow Democrat candidate Martin O'Malley said, "On issue after issue, Secretary Clinton has followed — not forged — public opinion. Leadership is about stating where you stand on critical issues, regardless of how they poll or focus group." (The ironic thing is the public supports the Keystone pipeline by an overwhelming margin.) The result of Clinton's inaction as secretary resulted in lost jobs and lost economic activity. Now, after the Left has stonewalled the project for years, Clinton wants to simply sweep it aside. Furthermore, she had the "courage" to make this announcement while the media focused squarely on PopeFrancis' visit. -The Patriot Post

Iran Prepares to Annex Iraq
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told his nation Tuesday that Iran and Iran alone has the military might in the Middle East to keep the Islamic State at bay. The remarks came during a military parade commemorating the start of the 35-year-old Iraq-Iran War. "[If] terrorists begin to expand in the region, the only hope will be Iran's army and the Revolutionary Guards," Rouhani said. And does anyone think they would leave if they came in to wipe out the Islamic State? Rouhani continued, saying the West had little influence in the struggle: "Today, our armed forces are the biggest regional power against terrorism." Seeing how the United States' proxy fighters are doing against the Islamic State, the Iranian president might just be correct. The fight against the Islamic State has ground to a standstill in Iraq, as an offensive to retake Ramadi from the Islamic State has been delayed. So the U.S. turns to Syria, where only a handful of American-trained Syrian rebels are still in the fight. Many of the fighters were delayed in Turkey, but when they returned, they handed over their weapons to the al-Qaida affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra. This was exactly the worry many people had in giving arms and training to proxy fighters. As Marco Rubio said: Our military "was not built to conduct pinprick attacks." If we want to take a simplistic route to foreign policy and focus our whole attention to the short term — dealing with the Islamic State — then maybe we should just give Iran $150 billion. Oh, wait... -The Patriot Post

EMAIL NEWS WIPES HILLY’S SECOND RESET
Hilly Clinton’s furious effort to refocus her struggling campaign on something other than the scandals that have dogged it from the start just ran smack into a brick wall.
First, the WaPo reported that Clinton had misrepresented why she turned over emails from her private server. It wasn’t routine records keeping as Clinton claimed, but the discovery of her secret email server more than a year ago that triggered the request for her documents and her eventual compliance. That dropped just as Clinton hit the Des Moines Register for a meeting with editors and she was caught flat-footed.
The shambles of her initial claims about her email is nearly complete. Pro tip: When you are busted being shady, don’t be shady in your explanation.
Clinton was hoping to get back to her new focus: trying to paint herself as more liberal than the nObama administration (seriously!) as she pushes for a huge increase in refugees from the Syrian civil war and for – quite suddenly – the rejection of a new oil pipeline from Canada. Clinton’s goal is to paint herself as left of Vice President loose lips Joe Biden.
It’s revealing that Clinton has set her new ideological position in the space between loose lips Biden and the Democrats’ version of Ron Paul, Sen. Bernie Sanders. That’s a weird space, dude. And it’s one in which a general election bid would have a cramped launch pad, to say the least. She must really be worried about defeating a historically weak field to torch so many general election votes.
Transparent, rapid-fire pandering is usually bad news, but it’s still better than being reduced to legalistic dissembling in front of a gaggle of reporters. Yet there Clinton was, watching the second reset of her second campaign fall apart like cheap shoes in a rainstorm.
But her bad day wasn’t over yet. Not by a long shot.
Bloomberg was about to report that the FBI probe into Clinton’s handling of secret documents as secretary of state had unlocked the more than 30,000 documents that Clinton in March had declared destroyed.
The sounds of heads exploding in Brooklyn could be heard across the land.
Remember that Clinton took the brazen step of destroying evidence she said would exonerate her. She claimed she handed over all official emails and destroyed the rest in the interest of her family’s privacy. It would clear her name against allegations of ethical and national security misconduct, but she didn’t want anyone nosing around her and her husband’s emails.
It sounded absurd, but hey, if the server was “wiped” or shredded, cooked on high in a microwave for an hour and then dumped into the Marianas Trench, there wasn’t anything that could be done about it.
Unless Clinton was foolish enough to have deemed the emails gone when they really weren’t and when the server itself wasn’t in her custody. Which now, it appears, was the case. She was bluffing.
As Stephan Dinan reports, though, the FBI isn’t exactly advertising its findings. The agency is refusing even to discuss the investigation with the State Department, which was ordered by a judge to try to collaborate with the Justice Department to determine what might be recovered from Clinton’s email.
How, when and if the contents of the once-secret server are made public are all open questions. But, if the emails Clinton said she ordered be destroyed have been recovered and if that discovery is confirmed, the emails can be had by congressional investigators.
It goes like this: The first and most immediate threat to Clinton’s campaign and, potentially, her freedom is the possibility of criminal prosecution for knowingly mishandling state secrets. If she is even charged with a crime for her email practices, she’s toast. And if the emails she said would “remain private” reveal any sensitive government business, she’s burnt toast.
But even if the emails Clinton wanted destroyed yield no charges for her or her intimates, they will certainly be sought by the House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi terror attack. And that’s where the risk of the discovery of something not criminal but politically devastating comes into play.
Outside of the real, but still unlikely chance that Clinton would get popped for national security violations, the existential threat to her bid to return to the White House is in her and her husband’s convoluted and ethically dubious moneymaking practices of the past decade. If the committee gets evidence that supports the claims that Clinton did inappropriate favors for patrons while in office, that’s probably a death knell, depending on how gross of a violation.
And then there’s the embarrassment factor of what was said by Clinton and her top aides in unguarded conversations.

Republicans Try Once More to Defund Amnesty
{fixthisnation.com} ~ House Republicans, no doubt feeling the heat generated by Donald Trump’s anti-establishment presidential campaign, are vowing to take another shot at defunding nObama’s amnesty... A group of 170 House Republicans known as the Republican Study Committee has devised a plan to cut funding to White House programs that provide work permits and legal status to undocumented immigrants. “The president did not follow the law when he did this, and we need to fully defund his illegal actions,” said Rep. Bill Flores, the chairman of the committee. Flores is supposed to meet with Republican leaders this week to offer up the group’s proposal, which would give Congress another point of disagreement on the fall spending bill. If Republicans and Democrats fail to come together on a bill by September 30, the government will go into partial shutdown. Already, many conservatives in the House and Senate have promised not to yield when it comes to funding Planned Parenthood. With the addition of this immigration proposal, fireworks are inevitable.http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/republicans-try-once-more-to-defund-amnesty/

nObama’s dangerous drive to make US combat troops co-ed
{Betsy McCaughey} ~ President nObama is already weakening our military by shedding troops, weapons and ships... But even these cuts aren’t as dangerous as his misguided crusade for a gender-blind military. “Valor has no gender,” nObama naively announced. True, but strength, speed and sharpshooting accuracy are gender-specific. A new 9-month, $36 million study conducted by the Marine Corps shows that the overwhelming majority of women Marines underperform on tasks such as running while wearing 100 pounds of gear, or carrying a wounded buddy to safety, or firing an M4 rifle to stop the enemy’s grenade. These politically incorrect facts should make the nObama administration reconsider zealously opening all combat jobs to women. http://www.aim.org/guest-column/obamas-dangerous-drive-to-make-us-combat-troops-co-ed/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email092415&utm_medium=email.
Govt Shutdown Threats Looming, Senate to Vote on Spending Bill
{Raven Clabough} ~ President nObama’s refusal to cooperate with Congress has compelled Republicans to take matters into their own hands to avoid a government shutdown... Unfortunately for Republican leaders, these efforts are placing them at odds with their conservative colleagues. And while it may be politically savvy for Democrats to hold Republicans over a barrel or let them take the fall for the resulting government shutdown, creating a proverbial rock or hard place dilemma for the GOP, it is once again a loss for the American people and a win for the nObama administration. Congress has until September 30 to pass a spending bill in order to avoid a government shutdown on October 1. The debate surrounding a spending bill has been contentious, as a number of lawmakers have called for an end to funding for Planned Parenthood after controversial videos revealed its illegal and barbaric practice of harvesting fetal organs. Democrats, meanwhile, are refusing to approve a bill that does not remove the spending limits known as the sequester..
Time to Dismantle the UN Human Rights Council
{Jagdish N. Singh} ~ Like it or not, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a big flop... It does not care a fig for what it is supposed to do: promote and protect human rights in general, and freedom of association, assembly, expression, belief and religion, sexual preference and women's rights and the rights of racial and ethnic minorities in particular. The past record of the UNHRC shows it has overlooked rights violations in a large part of the world in general and the Middle East in particular. The UNHRC has notoriously been obsessed with inventing rights violations by Israel, the Middle East's only democracy, where women and minorities -- the most oppressed sections in most of the nations in the world -- enjoy equality in law and practice both. Since March 2006, when the UN General Assembly brought the UNHRC into existence, it has condemned Israel 61 times, compared to just 55 condemnations of all other nations in the world combined..
nObama Throws Christian Refugees to Lions
{Raymond Ibrahim} ~ The fate of those Iraqi Christians who had fled from the Islamic State only to be incarcerated in the United States has finally been decided by the nObama administration... they are to be thrown back to the lions, where they will likely be persecuted, if not slaughtered, like so many Iraqi Christians before them. Fifteen of the 27 Iraqi Christians that have been held at a detention center in Otay Mesa, California, for approximately six months, are set to be deported in the coming weeks. Some have already been deported and others are being charged with immigration fraud. Many of the Iraqi Christian community in San Diego -- including U.S. citizen family members vouching for the refugees -- had hopes that they would eventually be released. Mark Arabo, a spokesman for the Chaldean community, had argued that "They've escaped hell. Let's allow them to reunite with their families." One of the detained women had begged to see her ailing mother before she died. The mother died before they could reunite, and now the daughter is to be deported, possibly back to the hell of the Islamic State. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6564/obama-christian-refugee.
Carly Fiorina’s Post-Debate Abortion Ad is Intense—and Effective
{Amy Miller} ~ Carly Fiorina killed it during the last debate. Polling has her in second place behind Donald Trump, marking a whopping 12% increase in support from earlier this month... Considering she very nearly didn’t make the cut for CNN’s GOP throwdown, I think we can all afford to throw her props. Love her, hate her, or have questions about her, registered voters have spoken—they want to see more. It’s not surprising; many pundits predicted that all Carly needed to raise her profile within the crowded Republican field was a chance to steal the spotlight. She did it. Her star is rising, and she’s using the opportunity not only to hit back at her most vocal opponents, but to bolster her conservative bona fides before a divided voter pool. It’s a continuation of the strategy she used earlier this summer—when her polling numbers sat below 5%—but it’s still effective. This time around, Fiorina is rebooting the conversation on abortionwith a new Carly for America PAC ad that lashes out against Democrats who refused to acknowledge the existence of the Planned Parenthood sting videos after she referenced them in the CNN debate. http://legalinsurrection.com/2015/09/carly-fiorinas-post-debate-abortion-ad-is-intense-and-effective/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29 Video: https://youtu.be/Yhn0DdH8M-0

Hilly: Media should be covering up for Politicians more
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ Hilly Clinton has a closet full of skeletons and she doesn't want anyone poking around them, but how much more can the media cover up for Hilly anyway?... Very difficult hurdles. Like not getting a US ambassador killed. Or having a husband that can keep his pants on for longer than 5 minutes. Or the time she laughed about helping a vicious rapist who beat a 12-year-old girl into a coma get off. Is the media supposed to hide a serious medical condition from voters? Is Hilly really going down this road? Who defines what information is? The media isn't supposed to be deciding what information best serves democracy. That's how we got to this perverse point of comprehensive media bias. The media is supposed to provide information and let the public decide. .
nOBAMA’S GENOCIDAL TREASON
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ No government has the blood of more American soldiers on its hands today than the government of Iran. From Lebanon to Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia to Iraq, Iran has been killing American soldiers for decades... 241 in Beirut. 19 at the Khobar Towers. Over 500 in Iraq and Afghanistan. The last time the United States officially fought Iran was under Reagan. But Iran has never stopped killing Americans. There is no reason to believe that it will stop once it has the nuclear weapons that nObama is helping its leaders obtain. The last time left-wing radicals aided the nuclear program of an open enemy of the United States, they were put on trial for it. The sentencing judge at the time said that because “the nature of Russian terrorism is now self-evident” there was no further room for claims that no harm had been done. http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260196/obamas-genocidal-treason-daniel-greenfield.
{Melissa Quinn} ~ A government spending bill that prohibited Planned Parenthood from receiving federal dollars for one year and kept the government operating failed in the Senate today... The continuing resolution, introduced earlier this week by Senate Republican leaders, fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance in the upper chamber after senators blocked the measure, 47-52. The vote occurred just hours after Pope Francis delivered a historic address before a joint session of Congress. http://dailysignal.com/2015/09/24/senators-block-spending-bill-defunding-planned-parenthood-for-one-year/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dailydigest&mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRohsqvLZKXonjHpfsX56%2BQpWqS%2BlMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4ATcZjMa%2BTFAwTG5toziV8R7jHKM1t0sEQWBHm

backstabber John Boehner Will Resign From Congress
{Josh Siegel} ~ House Speaker John Boehner announced to Republican lawmakers this morning that he will resign as speaker and from Congress at the end of October, according to news reports... The news came as a surprise even though Boehner has faced renewed pressure from conservatives who want to use a must-pass spending bill to strip Planned Parenthood of its federal funding. “Americans deserve a Congress that fights for opportunity for all and favoritism to none,” Michael A. Needham, chief executive officer of Heritage Action for America, the lobbying affiliate of The Heritage Foundation, said in a prepared statement. “Too often, Speaker Boehner has stood in the way.”.

Services will include biometrics collection, case interviews and information presentations."

Remember: In the 1990s, the Clinton administration first turned immigration policy into a massive Democratic voter recruitment machine through the Citizenship USA program. Naturalization officers simply abandoned background checks wholesale. Former House Judiciary Committee chief counsel David Schippers recounted how a "blatant politicization" of the then-INS took place during the 1996 presidential campaign, during which the White House pressured the agency into expediting citizenship to thousands of aliens whom the White House counted as likely Democratic voters.

"To ensure maximum impact," Schippers reported, "the INS concentrated on aliens in key states -- California, Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Texas -- that hold a combined 181 electoral votes, just 89 short of the total needed to win the election." In all, he determined, "more than a million aliens would be naturalized in time to vote in the 1996 election."

In 2003, an Immigration and Naturalization Services center in Laguna Niguel, Calif., solved massive backlog problems by putting tens of thousands of applications through a shredder. In 2006, I exposed how some high-immigrant regions rewarded adjudication officers with bonuses for rubber-stamping as many applications as possible without regard to security. And under President nObama, a whistleblower told Judicial Watch how the administration had abandoned required background checks in 2012, instead adopting "lean and lite" procedures to try to keep up with the flood of amnesty applications spurred by nObama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) directive, which grants illegal aliens a two-year deferment from deportation.

The dysfunctional DHS can't control our borders.

But when it comes to signing up new potential Democratic voters in droves, the feckless feds run a NASCAR-ready well-oiled machine.
