 U.S. Intelligence Suspects Islamic State Downed Aircraft  
Egyptian and Russian officials say it was not an act of terrorism that downed a Russian passenger plane over the Sinai Peninsula Saturday, killing all 224 people on board. Hossam Kamal, the Egyptian minister for civil aviation, said Thursday, "The investigation team does not have yet any evidence or data confirming this hypothesis." However, U.S. intelligence witnessed a flash of light on an infrared military satellite, which could have been caused by an exploding fuel tank or a bomb. Additionally, members of the intelligence community have told the American press in off-record interviews that they picked up jihadist chatter about the downed plane. This comes as the Islamic State franchise operating in the Sinai Peninsula released a recording taking credit for the aviation disaster. So far, America has no skin in the game. It's not part of the investigation, and most of the civilian deaths were Russians. But its theory is backed by British intelligence, which also theorizes that a bomb planted on the aircraft sent it tumbling from the sky. And Britain is worried enough to suspend flights in the region. It is in Russian and Egyptian interests to deny the incident was a terrorist attack in an effort to present a façade of security. Egypt has its tourism dollars to defend. Russia has ignored the Islamic State in order to bomb Syrian rebels battling the Assad regime. If U.S. intelligence proves true, then it's within Russia's interests to smoke some Islamic State fighters — that is, if the Kremlin can bring itself to acknowledge the truth.  -The Patriot Post

 Bad News: Global Warming Is Ruining Sex Lives  
What does climate change have to do with sex? According to a new study — and no, we're not making this up — global warming is heating up everything except people's love lives. "Climate change has been blamed for many things over the years. Never, until now, has anyone thought it was possible to see it as a kind of contraceptive," writes Bloomberg's Eric Roston. Apparently, global warming is the one contraceptive alarmists won't embrace. "Hot weather leads to diminished 'coital frequency,' according to a new working paper put out by the National Bureau of Economic Research. Three economists studied 80 years of U.S. fertility and temperature data and found that when it's hotter than 80 degrees F, a large decline in births follows within 10 months. Would-be parents tend not to make up for lost time in subsequent, cooler months. An extra 'hot day' ... leads to a 0.4 percent drop in birth rates nine months later, or 1,165 fewer deliveries across the U.S. A rebound in subsequent months makes up just 32 percent of the gap."
          Assuming no significant steps are taken to curb greenhouse gases, the study predicts 2.6% fewer births between 2070 and 2099 in the U.S. as the number of 80-degree days will allegedly rise. But since when are they worried about insufficient childbirths? The subtitle to the Bloomberg article states that "fewer babies would be bad news" — and we agree. But some warmists advocate population controls as a panacea to climate change. Moreover, according to Roston, "Control over the climate at home might make a difference [in sexual intercourse]. The researchers suggest that the rise of air conditioning may have helped offset some heat-related fertility losses in the U.S. since the 1970s." But air conditioning contributes to CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Are they now suggesting more of that is now a good thing? As usual, this study points out more contradictions than it does actual problems. Oh the lonely lives of ecofascists.  -The Patriot Post

 Ousted: San Fran Sheriff Who Released Illegal Murderer  
Among the numerous off-year election losses for Democrats around the country in Tuesday, San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi was ousted in a landslide loss to Vicki Hennessy, a former sheriff's official. Mirkarimi wasn't exactly the most competent sheriff, having failed a marksmanship test and briefly lost his driver's license after an unreported accident. But his real claim to infamy was the deliberate release of Mexican illegal immigrant Francisco Sanchez, who subsequently murdered Kate Steinle this past summer and thus became the ugly face of sanctuary city policies. Sanchez was deported several times and federal immigration officials requested that Mirkarimi hold him, but the sheriff refused. While Hennessy mildly criticized Mirkarimi for the release, it doesn't appear she's exactly a border hawk or that the release was the only or even primary factor in Mirkarimi's defeat. San Francisco became a sanctuary city for illegals in 1989, and even in the face of Steinle's murder, the city council unanimously refused to change that. So while Mirkarimi's defeat is welcome, this is still Nancy Pulosi's territory. We don't expect any seismic shifts away from mindless leftism.
          By the way, did we mention Barack nObama just released 6,000 prisoners?  -The Patriot Post

 nObama Proves to Be a Heavy Load for Dems  
Just three days after Halloween, the specter of Barack nObama’s disastrous presidency haunted voting booths across the country, delivering sweeping — and in some cases stunning — victories for Republicans nationwide.
          Most newsworthy was conservative Republican Matt Bevin’s upset win over state Attorney General Jack Conway to secure Kentucky’s governorship. Nearly every poll leading up to the election showed Conway in the lead, but Bevin delivered a nine-point win in the only poll that matters — counted votes. He became just the second Republican governor elected in the last half century. And Bevin is hardly a middle-of-the-road Republican. He openly campaigned on his conservative social positions and vocally supported county clerk Kim Davis in her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses.
          By the way, Bevin’s lieutenant governor-elect is Jenean Hampton, a self-made woman who worked herself up from poverty, retired from the Air Force at the rank of Captain, and is a Tea Party candidate endorsed by Rand Paul. And she's the first black woman to be elected to a statewide office in Kentucky.
          Bevin and Hampton weren't alone in tasting victory in the Bluegrass State. Down-ballot, the incumbent state auditor, Adam Edelen, whom Democrats hoped would challenge Sen. Paul next year, was ousted by Republican State Rep. Mike Harmon. As Paul noted of Democrats’ stunning losses in his state, “Not only has President nObama destroyed the party in Kentucky, he’s destroyed the bench. The bench that was supposed to rise up and run for office — that’s gone.”   -The Patriot Post

 Violating the Muslim Status Quo  
{Daniel Greenfield} ~ The Secretary of State of the United States traveled to the Muslim country of Jordan to assure its Foreign Minister that Jews would not be praying any more at the holiest site in Judaism... As hanoi-Kerry put it, “It is Muslims who pray on the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif and non-Muslims who visit.” Israel is often accused of apartheid and segregation, but here was the Secretary of State championing both, as long as it was Muslim segregation aimed at Jews. The Temple Mount “Status Quo” worriedly talked about by hanoi-Kerry and the media as the answer to the recent Muslim stabbing spree is no different than the Muslim ban on Jews entering the Cave of the Patriarchs, where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are buried, past the seventh step. It rewards Muslim violence by upholding Muslim segregationist racism. There’s no word on whether segregated drinking fountains will be put in for Muslims and non-Muslims. Jews visiting the former site of their Temple have been attacked for drinking from an “Islamic” water fountain. What gives hanoi-Kerry the right to ban Jews from Temple Mount?       http://www.aim.org/guest-column/violating-the-muslim-status-quo/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email110515&utm_medium=emai

 Jihad Training Camps Inside America, nObama’s FBI Does NOTHING 
{conservativetribune.com} ~ If the fact that there are 23 jihad training camps within U.S. borders isn’t frightening enough, the fact that president Barack nObama has done absolutely nothing about them should be... According to a document released by the Clarion Project, 23 confirmed terrorist Jihad compounds belonging to Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakastan Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda-related organization, were operating within our own borders. Jamaat ul-Fuqra is known to be an extremely militant group of international terrorists. The compounds allaegedly provide paramilitary training to new recruits for jihad against America.

 nObamatrade condemned by both Left, Right  
{JEROME R. CORSI} ~ The nObama administration’s release Thursday of the more than 2,000 pages of the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, known more commonly as nObamatrade, has prompted a rash of criticism from both the political left and the right... Critics charge the pact undermines U.S. sovereignty by establishing a secret, unaccountable TransPacific Partnership Commission with sweeping regulatory powers over 40 percent of the world’s economy while sending jobs abroad. “This trade agreement would allow foreign corporations to challenge our health, safety and environmental protections in a foreign tribunal outside our legal system, and it would weaken those bedrock safeguards in the United States,” said Jake Schmidt, international program director at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “While there are some positive conservation measures, the agreement’s substantial shortcomings should lead Congress to reject it.”

 How ISIS continues to extinguish Christians ...  
{Palmer Williamsow} ~ The Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) reign of terror continues to ravage Iraq and Syria.  For months,we have been detailing how Christians and other religious minorities who live in ISIS occupied territory have faced devastating persecution at the hands of these jihadists... The United States Department of State has just released its own comprehensive International Religious Freedom (IRF) report, which details the horrors that religious minorities have been facing in the region at the hands of ISIS militants. This year’s report details the actions of Non-State Actors, including rebel and terrorist organizations, who committed by far some of the most egregious human rights abuses and caused significant damage to the global status of respect for religious freedom. In some cases, government failure, delay, and inadequacy in combatting these groups and other societal actors had severe consequences for people living under dire religious freedom conditions.        http://aclj.org/persecuted-church/how-isis-continues-to-extinguish-christians-in-the-cradle-of-christianity?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=newsletter-1

 Why Wait For Iran? – TPP IS Death To America...  
One of the countless problems with the way trade agreements are “negotiated” in the interest of the money changers who have hijacked our government is that they can designate anything they like as free or fair trade... They could describe North Korea as the world’s gold standard for free trade, a model to be emulated and there would be absolutely no objections in response of any consequence. Their untrue claims would continue to stand and then be repeated. They can and have similarly called the dump truck load of manure that is the Trans-Pacific Partnership whatever they want in order to sell it to the American people. Those, such as Speaker Paul Ryan, who support it will continue to call it by the benign-sounding misnomer. The soft-propaganda technique of repeating the lie until it is accepted as truth is quite effective. For Americans the perception of “free” anything equates with fairness, but the world is not a fair place. Different countries have different standards of living and their currencies are valued differently. So-called Free trade is a bad deal for the American people. There is a reason why Malaysians, Japanese and Chileans don’t come to America to set up manufacturing operations, why they are instead the hosts of American companies that have moved their manufacturing operations out of the United States. They can’t afford to pay an American wage and remain in business. That reality is not going to change just because a stack of paper was signed. What will change is the complexion of the workforce in the United States. Four things will be coming to our shores as the result of this foreign and corporate pilferage of America, the TPP.

 Taxpayers could pay for Iran’s purchase of US-manufactured planes  
{Pamela Geller} ~ The fallout from nObama’s Iran deal just keeps getting worse. Now US taxpayers are liable to end up funding Iran’s terrorist activities... The legacy of Barack nObama is going to be bloody international terrorism on a massive scale, and untold numbers of destroyed lives. Taxpayers could end up footing the bill for Iran’s purchase of American-manufactured planes thanks to legislation passed on Thursday that critics say facilitates U.S. support for an Iranian commercial airline sector frequently used in service of its international terrorist proxies. The day before, it rejected an amendment to the legislation that would have prohibited Ex-Im financing for governments that the State Department classifies as state sponsors of terrorism. There are three countries currently on that list: Syria, Sudan, and Iran.        http://pamelageller.com/2015/11/taxpayers-could-pay-for-irans-purchase-of-us-manufactured-planes.html/

 nObama Shows ‘Disdain’ for Americans With Keystone Decision  
{ Morgan Chalfant} ~ One of the largest unions of construction workers slammed President nObama for his decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline Friday... accusing the president of showing “utter disdain” for the American worker. Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), accused nObama of bending to special interest groups by choosing to decline TransCanada’s proposal to build the pipeline in pursuit of his climate change agenda. “President nObama today demonstrated that he cares more about kowtowing to green-collar elitists than he does about creating desperately needed, family-supporting, blue-collar jobs,” O’Sullivan said in a statement Friday. “After a seven-year circus of cowardly delay, the president’s decision to kill the Keystone XL  pipeline is just one more indication of an utter disdain and disregard for salt-of-the-earth, middle-class working Americans.”

 Clinton Signed NDA - Criminal Penalties for Mishandling Classified   
{Lachlan Markay} ~ As the nation’s chief diplomat, Hilly Clinton was responsible for ascertaining whether information in her possession was classified and acknowledged that “negligent handling” of that information could jeopardize national security, according to a copy of an agreement she signed upon taking the job... A day after assuming office as secretary of state, Clinton signed a Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement that laid out criminal penalties for “any unauthorized disclosure” of classified information.

 Hilly Warned of Repeated Attempts to Breach State Personal Email   
{Lachlan Markay} ~ Malicious actors routinely attempted to hack the personal email accounts of senior State Department officials during Hilly Clinton’s tenure as the nation’s chief diplomat, an internal memo reveals... The February 2011 memo, obtained by the Competitive Enterprise Institute through an open records request and shared with theWashington Free Beacon, warned of “a dramatic increase … in attempts by redacted to compromise the private home e-mail accounts of senior State Department officials.” All of Clinton’s official email communications as secretary of state took place through a personal email address housed on a “homebrew” server in her Chappaqua, N.Y., home. According to the memo, written specifically for Clinton by Eric Boswell, then the State Department’s top diplomatic security official, the unnamed hackers were attempting to breach officials’ email accounts via a technique known as “phishing.”       http://freebeacon.com/issues/hillary-warned-in-2011-of-repeated-attempts-to-breach-state-officials-personal-email-accounts/

 Palestinians: A World of Lies, Deception and Fabrications  
{Bassam Tawil} ~ Sadly, the Palestinian Authority (PA) leaders are continuing to bury their heads in the sand and lying to everyone -- from their people to the international community... The current wave of Palestinian terrorism has entered its fourth week, but our leaders, above all the PA President Mahmoud Abbas, are continuing to talk about a "peaceful, popular uprising" against Israel. This wave of Palestinian stabbings, shootings and vehicular ramming has been anything but either "popular" or "peaceful." President Abbas and his top PLO and Fatah leaders have yet to explain to us what is peaceful and popular about stabbing an 80-year-old lady named Ruti Malka in Rishon Lezion, and a 70-year-old Jewish woman Jerusalem. Instead of denouncing the terror attacks perpetrated by his people, Abbas continues to attack Israel for shooting the knife-wielding assailants to stop them. He has not missed one opportunity in the past four weeks to make false and libelous accusations against Israel. These include claims that Israelis are carrying out "summary executions" of "innocent" Palestinian men and women. In reality, these "innocent" Palestinian men and women were "merely" in the process of trying to stab people to death.       http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/6829/palestinians-fabrication-deception

Hilly Clinton and nObama’s Lies on Benghazi —
Too Many to Count, but Let’s Try

{aim.org} ~ People died. Hilly lied.
.
nObama lied, too.
.
They lied early.
.
They lied often.
.
They lied deliberately.
.
     They lied about the slaughter of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya, at the hands of al-Qaeda-tied terrorists.
.
     They lied, but not to protect vital national secrets or flummox America’s enemies.
.
They lied to get reelected.
.
And they lied directly, knowingly, and repeatedly to the American people.
.
     Although I am a confirmed and consistent critic of Hilly and nObama, I long had cut them some slack regarding their first comments about the Benghazi attack. Thanks to the fog of war, I thought, they could not be blamed if they initially misattributed this deadly onslaught to a mob inflamed about an incredibly amateur Internet video that dissed the Prophet Mohammad. If they innocently got it wrong in, say, the first twelve hours after the assault began, they might deserve a grudging pass – at least for those early announcements.
.
     Alas, I was unjustifiably generous toward Hilly and nObama. Instead, I should have been profoundly cynical.
.
     As FactCheck.org chronicled on Friday, and L. Gordon Crovitz detailed in the Wall Street Journal on Monday, Clinton issued a statement on the attack at 10:32 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 11, 2012. It read, in part: “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.”
.
But that was a lie.
.
     At 11:12 p.m., just 40 minutes later, Hilly e-mailed her daughter, Chelsea, with the truth: “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an al Qaeda-like group.” Hilly’s e-mail was addressed to “Diane Reynolds,” Chelsea’s code name. This smoking e-mail surfaced during Hilly’s October 22 hearing before the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
.
     At 11:49 p.m., Hilly contacted Libyan president Mohamed Magariaf, also with the truth: “There is a gun battle ongoing, which I understand Ansar al Sharia is claiming responsibility for.” This group is al-Qaeda’s Libyan franchisee.
.
The next day, September 12, 2012, Hilly resumed her public lies:
.
     “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet,” she said in a speech at the State Department. “America’s commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear – there is no justification for this, none.”
.
     Echoing Hilly’s lie du jour, nObama chimed in with his own lie that day: “Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths,” he declared in the Rose Garden. “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None.”
.
     nObama’s press secretary, Jay Carney, lied even more explicitly that day: “We have no information to suggest that it was a planned attack.”
.
     Hilly toggled back to private-truth mode at 3:04 p.m., when she phoned Hisham Qandil, prime minister in Egypt’s Islamist Muslim Brotherhood government. She told him: “We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack – not a protest. Based on the information we saw today, we believe that the group that claimed responsibility for this was affiliated with al-Qaeda.”
.
     “You can’t be square with the American people,” Representative Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) said about Hilly’s initial statements on Benghazi. “You tell your family it’s a terrorist attack, but not the American people. You can tell the president of Libya it’s a terrorist attack, but not the American people. And you can tell the Egyptian prime minister it’s a terrorist attack, but you can’t tell your own people the truth.”
.
     Hilly reverted to public lies that September 14, during the ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base in which she and nObama welcomed home the flag-draped caskets of U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, technical officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
.
     “We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with,” Hilly said.
.
     Hilly took things a totalitarian step further when – according to Tyrone Woods’s father, Charles – Hilly told him, “We will make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”
.
     “You had a video released by somebody who lives here, sort of a shadowy character, who has an extremely offensive video directed at Mohammad and Islam,” nObama told TV host David Letterman on September 18. nObama added that “extremists and terrorists used this as an excuse to attack a variety of embassies, including the consulate in Libya.”
.
     The U.S. embassy in Pakistan spent $70,000 distributing a recording on September 20, 2012, in which Hilly said that America “had absolutely nothing to do with this video” that supposedly sparked the Benghazi attack.
.
     Fully 14 days after learning that the Benghazi attack was a coordinated, al-Qaeda-linked Islamic-terrorist broadside against American territory and personnel, nObama stood before the United Nations General Assembly and lied, lied, lied: “There is no video that justifies an attack on an embassy,” nObama said that September 25. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
.
     Just two days into that future, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies fulfilled Hilly’s chilling prophecy to Charles Woods. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the Egyptian Coptic Christian who created the notorious Internet video, Innocence of Muslims, was arrested, supposedly because he used a pseudonym and thereby violated parole on an unrelated bank-fraud conviction. He subsequently was sentenced to a year in the La Tuna Federal Correctional Institution in Texas. Never mind that the First Amendment should have shielded his right to produce whatever video he wanted on Mohammad or any other religious figure. (Rather than molder behind bars, the producers of Broadway’s The Book of Mormon still laugh all the way to the bank, as hard as their audiences howl nightly.) Nakoula was a convenient patsy. As such, Hilly appears to have transformed him from a poor-quality filmmaker into a political prisoner.
.
     Hilly and nObama buried the truth beneath an Oriental rug of lies. It covered up painful facts, lest they contradict the comforting campaign theme that nObama unveiled at the Democrat National Convention just five days before Benghazi: “al-Qaeda is on the path to defeat, and Osama bin Laden is dead.”
.
And it worked!
.
     The truth about Benghazi, what Hilly and nObama knew, and when they knew it, remained obscured until last week. This helped nObama win the White House in November 2012, and put Hilly in a comfortable position from which to run as his successor.
.
     Regardless, with this much of the truth now out in the open, nothing that either of these two liars utters can be taken at face value ever again. They already were unbelievable, thanks to the Liar-in-Chief’s “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan” serial deceptions on nObamacare and other multifarious matters. Ditto Hilly’s decades of mendacity, from cattle futures to “there is no classified material” on the clandestine e-mail server that she willfully hid from scrutiny for seven years.
.
     Whatever embers of credibility either of these reprobates may have possessed were extinguished with the ice water of Hilly’s testimony last Thursday.
.
nObama’s and Hilly’s lies about the Benghazi massacre confirm, once and for all, that they are twin moral vacuums. They deserve all of the scorn, disrespect, and rejection that such a disgraceful distinction demands.
