 Two IL National Guardsmen Planned ISIL Attack in U.S.  
While Army National Guard Spc. Hasan Edmonds flew to Egypt to defect to ISIL, his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, who was also in the National Guard, was going to use his uniform and training to attack a U.S. military base in northern Illinois. That was the duo's plan at least, before the FBI arrested Hasan at Chicago Midway International Airport and Jonas at his home. In a statement, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin said, "According to the charges filed today, the defendants allegedly conspired to provide material support to ISIL and planned to travel overseas to support the terrorist organization. In addition, they plotted to attack members of our military within the United States. Disturbingly, one of the defendants currently wears the same uniform of those they allegedly planned to attack." While the two may have worn the same uniform that today's Patriots also wear, the two terrorists were part of the worldwide jihadi terror network. In the words of Mark Alexander, "These attacks and those to come were and will be directly tied to worldwide Jihad by way of the Qur'an, the foundational fabric linking all Islamist violence."

 Half of nObamaCare Users Owe the IRS  
Goodbye refund. Half of the Americans who received a subsidy for health insurance will never see their refund materialize, as they owe the government because it gave out too much in nObamaCare subsidies. In other words, Americans are paying for the government's mistake. "Nearly all families that received tax credits will either owe money or receive extra money because their tax filings had changed after they calculated their nObamaCare subsidies, according to a new report by the Kaiser Family Foundation," The Hill reports. "Only 4 percent of households received the correct subsidy, according to the report, which uses data from the national Survey of Income and Program Participation." While it's not a good way to manage personal finances, many Americans count on a sizable IRS refund to make big purchases like furniture or a new vehicle, or to pay down some debt. Instead, Americans who couldn't afford health insurance will be farther in a financial hole. More...  -The Patriot Post

 Quietly, Defense Officials Oppose Transgendered Soldiers  
While Defense Secretary Ashton Carter wants to explore the idea of allowing transgendered people to openly serve in the U.S. military, Defense officials under him are not so sure. But the situation is so politically charged they asked that their names not be published along with their comments. "The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly," the Associated Press reports. "Much of the opposition centers on questions of where transgender troops would be housed, what berthing they would have on ships, which bathrooms they would use and whether their presence would affect the ability of small units to work well together." Because the policies of the U.S. military can be changed depending on who is commander in chief, progressives can view it as a petri dish for their favorite social experiments. What Carter and Barack nObama seem to have forgotten is that the U.S. military was founded, like, to actually fight our enemies and defend our homeland. Instead, they've created a culture that quashes dissent and cares more about "diversity," "inclusion" and "tolerance" than winning wars. More...  -The Patriot Post

 WILL dinky REID, nOBAMA FORM BITTER-END CAUCUS? 
dinky Harry Reid
and President nObama have had a difficult relationship at times and they have not always seen eye-to-eye, but nObama has had no better ally in Washington than dinky Reid. dinky Reid’s most notable act as majority leader was to torch the longstanding Senate rule requiring a 60-vote threshold for presidential nominations. And even in the minority, dinky Reid has dutifully protected the president from having to veto legislation by engaging in extraordinary measures. But most of all, dinky Reid has been on message for nObama. The most notable example was dinky Reid’s baseless claim that Mitt Romney paid no taxes. dinky Reid, who has made a career out of his rapport with the rich and powerful, has gleefully hammered at the same “millionaires and billionaires” that have been the economic boogeymen of the nObama era. But now the men have something else in common other than a Koch habit: They are both lame ducks.
          [dinky Reid’s announcement comes on the heels of an inspector general’s report that ripped a powerful Homeland Security official for helping powerful Democrats, including dinky Reid’s patrons.]  -Fox News 
canstock20722674.jpg
 Freedom’s just another word… -   How long dinky Reid can hold power in the wake of his announced retirement is an open question. Does he even mean to stay on? Perhaps dinky Reid has cut a deal with his most likely successor, Hilly Clinton’s chief Senate ally Chuck Schumer of New York for an orderly transition at a later date. Whatever the case, it’s hard to imagine that dinky Reid would make this move at this moment with no plan in place. If dinky Reid is, like nObama, still in a position of authority but beyond the reach of voters, things could get interesting. Provided dinky Reid has the help of nObama and the support of those Senate Democrats who still stand stalwart for the president, the president and the Senate Democratic leader could be quite the lame duck duo.  -Fox News

 The Gestapo is alive and well in nObama’s America  
(Wayne Allyn Root) - Hi. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. Barack nObama is going rogue. By every metric, the nObama economy is melting down. We are seeing the beginning stages of another recession, at best, or a total economic meltdown, at worst...At the moment, there are no decent-paying jobs in America. nObama has opened the border and given amnesty to at least 5 million illegal aliens already in the country, thereby putting them in competition with working-class and middle-class Americans. Think I’m wrong? Did you know the government is giving businesses a $3,000 incentive to hire illegals over native-born Americans?      http://americanactionnews.com/articles/root-the-gestapo-is-alive-and-well-in-obama-s-America

Pentagon Loses $500 Million in Yemen, Gets a $96 Billion Budget Increase
 Pentagon Loses $500 Million in Yemen, Gets a $96 Billion Budget  
(Jack Kenny) - For decades, conservative Republicans have been accusing their liberal counterparts of trying to cure social ills by “throwing money” at every problem...But Republicans have proven, time and again, that when it comes to throwing huge stacks of money, they hurl as recklessly as Democrats  —  especially when the problem they’re throwing money at is the Pentagon. Barely a week after learning that the military brass can’t account for some $500 million worth of weapons and equipment given to Yemen, Congress last week moved to compensate for the cuts in military spending required by the 2013 sequester law by approving a spending bill for $5.5 trillion over the next decade, including $96 billion in off-budget accounts for war-related funding.       http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/20551-pentagon-loses-500-million-in-yemen-gets-a-96-billion-budget-increase?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=d92605bd38-The_Editors_Top_Picks_3_12_143_12_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8ca494f2d2-d92605bd38-289778381

 nObama Wants Us All To “Be More Like Ted Kennedy”  
(rickwells.us) - Socialist Democrats only want to compromise as a last resort and it is only a temporary respite from their progressive march “forward,” as they like to describe it, a one-way journey towards totalitarianism under their rule...The battle lines are clearly drawn. The American people, or at least those who are somewhat awake to what is taking place, stand rooted in the U.S. Constitution. The socialist Democrats assume their position founded upon the Communist Manifesto. Our goals are different. The Constitutional Americans are in a defensive posture. We are not trying to alter our Republic; we are seeking to protect it. The Marxists are on offense, inflicting what they describe as “change” incrementally in an endless assault on our nation.       http://www.rickwells.us/forget-about-chappaquiddick-obama-wants-us-all-to-be-more-like-ted-kennedy-forget-the-constitution-too/

Erdogan UN
 Erdogan Makes A Move – Claims Turkey Aiding Al Nusra in Syria   (theconservativetreehouse.com) - Al Nusra is a front for, and has openly aligned with, al-Qaeda in Syria – which is essentially ISIS...It is not a secret that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has tried to deliver the maximum benefit to ISIS (in Northern Syria) in direct opposition to the Kurds who are trying to formulate their own independent nation of Kurdistan. Erdogan views Kurdistan as a proxy for Irans’ growing sphere of influence. Erdogan opposes Iran for many ideological reasons, but arguably most of all because he sees Iran’s growing influence as a threat to his own political ambitions to lead a new Ottoman Empire.       http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/03/30/opportunistic-erdogan-makes-a-move-report-claims-turkey-aiding-al-nusra-in-syria/

 Trey Gowdy: Hilly Wiped Server Clean - On The Record  
(rickwells.us) - Rep Trey Gowdy (R-SC), the chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, is asked when he first made an informal request for Hilly Clinton or the State Department for Hilly Clinton’s emails...He responds that it took place even before his committee was empanelled, to the House Oversight and Reform Committee under then-chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA).  There was also a letter sent by Rep Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) a few weeks after the Benghazi incident requesting all related documents. Chaffetz has since become the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. He notes that there has been a long ongoing effort to obtain records from the State Department, which collectively “either had amnesia or just chose not to tell us they didn’t have the records.”

 nObama Lied About Being The First Islamic President  
(rickwells.us) - Maybe Secretary of State Hanoi John Kerry just thought he was being cute or witty, but given the track record of this administration, neither of those unlikely possibilities provides much comfort to the people of our nation...The third option, that he meant his comments literally, in exactly the manner in which they were delivered, is quite disturbing. Steve Malzberg cites a report by the online DC-based publication Al-Monitor that Secretary of State Hanoi John Kerry used an Islamic “Allah willing” and a mimicked praying hand position with his fingers crossed as a response to a question of how the nuclear giveaway talks are progressing. Former three-time Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes is not surprised, saying, “Unhappily it’s the mentality that’s been dominant in the nObama administration. They have got a commitment, not only by the way, to Islam and forces in Islam that have been deeply inimical to the United States, but they have in particular, in this instance, a commitment to one of the most active governmental forces that has been sponsoring terrorism against the United States and organizations that target the United States.”

 Keystone: Now That It’s Safely Vetoed, Maybe We Were A Bit Hasty  
(rickwells.us) - On Monday, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Chief Gina McCarthy strayed from her agency’s historic position on the Keystone XL Pipeline, saying in response to a question that it actually wouldn’t have been disastrous for the climate...She can tell the truth now. The bill to construct it has already safely been removed from the energy production battlefield, a victim of nObama’s infamous pen and a veto. She made the comments despite the agency’s stated position in February that lower oil prices could lead to a surge in oil sands production and that supposedly negative situation would only be exacerbated by the pipeline project. It’s a nonsensical argument, but that won’t stop the EPA from making it. The United States is not the only oil-consuming country on the planet and oil prices are generally subject to the same market influences regardless of where the oil customer resides.       http://www.rickwells.us/epa-head-gina-mccarthy-now-that-its-safely-vetoed-maybe-we-were-a-bit-hasty-on-keystone-pipeline/

 Hilly Could Teach Nixon a 'Lesson' About Destroying Evidence  
(.rickwells.us) - Judge Andrew Napolitano says that technically, we don’t know whether or not the Clinton claims that her server has been wiped clean are true or not. For the sake of discussion, he’ll take her attorney at his word...He says the question then becomes, “When did they do it?” He continues, saying, “She was subject to a letter sent to her by Congressman Chaffetz, chairman of a House committee in September, 2012, while she was still the Secretary of State, demanding all records and documents reflecting Benghazi.” He agrees with Megyn Kelly that the letter “would have encompassed Benghazi,” that the law is very clear in its definition of the word records including emails. He notes that the letter had the effect of putting on notice not only Clinton, but her Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills and her personal aide Huma Abedin to preserve all records.

 It Happened Again, Massive Lights Of Unknown Origin  
(rickwells.us) - Some speculate that the event might have been caused by a meteor, but there was no impact area and nothing discovered on the ground and it didn’t behave like a meteor...It lit up the sky like lightning but was sustained for much longer than is characteristic of a lighting flash. Some think it’s possibly related to some military activity or weapons testing. Others talk of UFO’s or nuclear causes. While speculation runs rampant, nobody has any verifiable answer for what’s going on. And anyone who does isn’t talking.

 Necessary Lies  
(Michael Devolin) - I couldn’t help but notice how the major media outlets avoided articulating into print what much of thinking humanity suspected after hearing the horrible news of Germanwings pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately flying his plane into the side of a mountain, killing himself and all others on board...I read two pieces in the New York Times where the subject of Islam and jihad and the most chilling phrase, “new convert to Islam,” was noticeably absent. Yahoo News posted an article with the reassurance that “Düsseldorf prosecutors said on Friday they had not found a suicide note, confession or anything pointing to a ‘political or religious’ motive.” As it turns out, Mr. Lubitz was not a “new convert to Islam” and his tragic behaviour, without any proof, cannot be attributed to terrorism and the commonplace Islamic stratagem of killing as many infidels as possible while simultaneously taking leave of this world.       http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/03/necessary-lies?utm_source=Jihad+Watch+Daily+Digest&utm_campaign=7dbfb157bb-Daily_Digest&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ffcbf57bbb-7dbfb157bb-123451509

Is nObama Anti-Semitic?
Alan Caruba
AA%2B-%2BObama%2BPoster%2Bin%2BIsrael.jpg
     (factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com) - President nObama made no secret of his displeasure that Benjamin Netanyahu was reelected to be Israel’s Prime Minister. Only David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister and one of the nation’s founders, served longer.

     nObama lives in some parallel universe apart from the lessons of history and the realities of what is actually occurring. On May 18, 2009, not long after nObama had been in office and Netanyahu was visiting the White House, nObama was demanding that he endorse Palestinian statehood and freeze the settlements on the West Bank.
 
     Considering that the Palestinians had refused statehood from the day the United Nations endorsed Israel’s independence that has been a fool’s mission no matter who was President or Prime Minister.
 
     As for nObama’s demands about settlements, who is nObama to tell the Israelis in 2009 where and if they can build the housing needed for its growing population? And yet Netanyahu, seeking to accommodate nObama, endorsed Palestinian statehood shortly thereafter and then announced a ten-month freeze on settlement development.
 
What did Netanyahu get in return? Nothing.
 
     In 2014 when the Israelis responded militarily to months of rocket attacks from Gaza, it contacted the Department of Defense to request Hellfire missiles and nObama reportedly personally blocked the shipments.
 
     The talks with Iran that have been nObama’s obsession since he took office have continued despite his promise not to “have talks forever.” This has been his pattern of behavior since the day he took office. As Wall Street columnist Brett Stephens observed, “The President collects hard favors from allies and replays them with neglect and derision. This is the mentality of a peevish and callow potentate.”
 
     Netanyahu’s speech to a joint meeting of Congress left the White House deeply angered and his reelection probably stunned them. The Israelis are accustomed to being underestimated.
 
     At this point, nObama has given plenty of evidence that he is both pro-Islam and anti-Israel. Michael Haltman has written a timeline of events, “nObama’s Israel Hatred”, that reflect nObama’s attitudes in terms of the people with whom he associated before his 2008 run for the presidency and the events that followed thereafter.
     Unspoken, but widely suspected, is the question of whether nObama is also anti-Semitic. As Haltman points out “nObama has spent his entire life surrounded by haters of Israel, from the former Palestine Liberation Organization, Rashid Khalid to former Jimmy Carter National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Bazinski. Most famously people became aware of Rev. Jeramiah Wright whose church nObama attended and where he was married. Wright has been quoted saying “Them Jews ain’t going to let him talk to me.” 
 
     The question of anti-Semitism is complicated by the fact that nObama has surrounded himself with Jews in the White House.
 
     The Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew, is Jewish. As is Gene Sperling, the Director of the National Economic Council. Janet Yellen, the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve is Jewish as is a senior advisor, David Plouffe, as well as a dozen others. Rahm Emanuel, nObama’s former chief of staff is Jewish as was his former senior advisor, David Axelrod. At least fifteen other Jews formerly held high office in the administration.
 
     For anti-Semites, that would be “proof” that the White House is “run by Jews”, but that would not only be absurd, it would ignore the Muslims that nObama has put into positions of power and influence throughout his administration. nObama's Jewish personnel choices all share his very liberal views.
 
     I define anti-Semitism as a serious or general dislike of Jews. It can be either overt or covert. As in most cases in life, you can make your own conclusion based on a person’s actions, not words.
 
     There is little doubt, however, that nObama shares an antipathy to Israel that is widespread among world leaders and many others. After two thousand years, the reemergence of Israel as a sovereign state in 1948 has no doubt baffled and irked those who hold Jews in contempt. Up until the election of nObama Israel had been supported by whoever was in the White House and understood to be an ally.
 
     Now that he is in the final years of his presidency, nObama does not have to hide his antipathy to Israel, nor did he make much effort to do so in this first term.
 
Anti-Semitism%2Bby%2BUN.jpg
     The White House suggestion that they might take the two-state issue to the United Nations Security Council reflects nObama’s pique over Netanyahu’s speech to Congress opposing the Iran nuclear deal and his reelection. By contrast, his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, is now in the 11th year of his four-year term. Who needs elections in Palestine? And the Palestinian Authority is now linked with Hamas, the Gaza-based terrorist group.
 
     Seeking United Nations involvement is a last ditch effort to harm Israel, but it hardly matters what the United Nations does or does not do because it is the most obscenely anti-Israel international institution.
 
     What troubles most people, irrespective of any real or assumed anti-Israel or anti-Semitic element, is nObama’s pursuit of a deal with the Iranians that would permit them at some point to make their own nuclear weapons. It quite simply makes no sense to anyone except nObama. Iran has made no secret of its wish to “wipe Israel off the map.”  Netanyahu left no doubt that Israel would use military force to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities. In the past they destroyed such facilities in Iraq and Syria.
 
     As for the Iranians, they don’t care how the negotiations turn out. They have gotten a respite from the sanctions and had funds that were frozen returned; securing money and time to continue their nuclear ambitions.
 
     As for the destruction of Israel, Iran has both Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza as their proxies to threaten Israel, so they can wait for a nuke to finish off the job. And who did the U.S. just remove from its list of terrorist nations and groups? Iran and Hezbollah!
 
     I suspect that once nObama returns to civilian life, we will learn more about his views about race and religion. What we have learned at this point is that he doesn’t like an America that is a world power and the leader of the free world. His policy of retreat has caused allies and enemies alike to distrust him.
 
     Anti-Semitic? Anti-Israel? Regrettably his words and actions demonstrate that this can be said of nObama with relative ease.
