Wut? Sanders down to single-digit deficit in Granite State Poll WMUR: “Less than two months ago, former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton held a 21 percentage point lead over her nearest competitor in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary campaign. Now, her edge is down to 8 percentage points over Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton leads Sanders, 43 to 35 percent, in a new WMUR/CNN Granite State Poll, which was conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center from June 18 to 24. The poll included 360 likely 2016 Democratic primary voters and has a margin of error of 5.2 percent, meaning Sanders is close to being in a statistical dead heat with the frontrunner.” -Fox News

WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE
Staring out at your lovely garden you might not be aware that there is chemical warfare raging all around you. Smithsonian Magazine took a look at the development of mustard, and how this tiny seed survived over time. Mustard is from the Brassicaceae family – a tough bunch that developed a defenses, called glucosinolates by scientists but more commonly known as the mustard oil that gives its flavor to horseradish, cabbage and, of course, mustard. These evolving compounds create a deterrent so if the insects do consume them they will get sick or die. Over time, though, insects developed their own defense so they can consume the plants without injuring themselves. The clear winner in the struggle, though, are humans who love the sinus-clearing tastes of the combatant plants. -Fox News

Fox News Comes Forward With PROOF Hilly Committed Treason
(gopthedailydose.com) ~ Federal court documents recently obtained by Fox News show that Hilly Clinton, as secretary of state, supported a covert exchange of weapons to the rebels in Libya who subsequently carried out the attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi on September 11, 2012... The attack took the lives of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith, and two CIA contractors, Glen Doherty and Tyrone S. Woods. In sworn testimony to the District Court of Arizona on May 5, 2015, CIA officer David Manners said, “It was then, and remains now, my opinion that the United States did participate, directly or indirectly, in the supply of weapons to the Libyan Transitional National Council.” Manners’ testimony was part of a grand-jury investigation of Marc Turi, an American defense contractor, who is suspected of facilitating the secretive flow of weapons into Libya as part of an effort to overthrow the regime of Moammar Qaddafi. http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/06/29/breaking-fox-news-comes-forward-with-proof-hillary-committed-treason-in-benghazi/

nObama’s Social Engineering Gives ISIS A Huge Recruitment Tool
(rickwells.us) ~ There’s simply no limit and no end to the sanctimony of the nObama regime. The Marxist ideology upon which it is based is in itself hypocrisy of the most vile kind which, due to the very nature of their system, must be spread through disinformation and lies... If they told the truth, nobody aside from those in exploitative leadership positions would be foolish or self-destructive enough to join their ranks. Some noteworthy insincerity was exhibited in the recent regime victory in which the perverted Supreme Court Justices donned their legislative robes and redefined the institute of marriage in a manner totally different from what it has been since the beginning of time. Now the institution of marriage has been corrupted to include homosexuals, with the most offensive component the adoption of children, their futures sacrificed as they are indoctrinated into a life of deviance. It will now also be promoted as a normal choice all across the spectrum of Elitist-owned media, including television and films and falselydeclared to be representative of America and our values. In advancing that portion of his agenda, nObama has displayed once again the most blatant of hypocrisy. http://rickwells.us/obamas-social-engineering-gives-isis-a-huge-recruitment-tool-hes-worried-about-gitmo/

John Roberts has constitutional blood on his hands
(David Limbaugh) ~ Last week’s Supreme Court rulings on nObamacare (Burwell) and same-sex marriage (Obergefell) were enormously dispiriting for reasons beyond the substantive issues of socialized medicine and same-sex marriage... I couldn’t be more opposed to socialized medicine, which I believe is the endgame of nObamacare, and I am opposed to the societal sanctioning of same-sex marriage – but those are not my greatest concerns with these two rulings. In both cases, the court flouted the Constitution, the rule of law, the English language and the truth itself. People who appreciate the unique American system of government and those who value truth itself should be very concerned.

Rush Limbaugh: Here's what's next for marriages
(Chelsea Schilling) ~ Get ready: Polygamy is the new “gay” movement – and talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh warns the June 26 legalization of same-sex marriage by the U.S. Supreme Court makes spouse collecting in America “inevitable.”... “Look, folks, you can think all you want, but there’s no legal basis to stop it now,” Limbaugh told his listeners on Monday’s show. “There is no intellectually honest way to distinguish the reasoning on gay marriage from applying the same reasoning to supporting polygamy.” Limbaugh explained the case for same-sex marriage was “all rooted in self-esteem and dignity and not being denied things that make you happy.” http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/1-wife-is-not-enough-polygamy-now-inevitable/

Israeli official: Syria is dying, the funeral will be declared in due time
(jpost.com) ~ A senior Israeli defense official said President Bashar Assad controlled just a fifth of Syria and may end up in charge of a rump state dominated by his minority Alawite sect... Israel and its neighbor Syria are long-term enemies, but the remarks by Amos Gilad, director of the Political-Military Affairs Bureau at the Defense Ministry, reflect concerns by states across the region that Syria is undergoing a de facto partition after four years of civil war. "Syria is gone. Syria is dying. The funeral will be declared in due time. This Bashar Assad, he will be remembered in history textbooks as the one who lost Syria," Gilad told an intelligence conference organized by the Israel Defense journal on Monday.

nObama: US could 'walk away' from Iran nuclear talks, extended
(foxnews.com) ~ President nObama threatened to "walk away" from a nuclear deal with Iran if it fails to keep tabs on the country's compliance, as the negotiations were extended past their original Tuesday deadline amid sharp disagreements... The president addressed the shaky talks during a joint press conference in Washington, alongside visiting Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. He spoke shortly after the State Department confirmed that the Iran talks were being extended another week. "My hope is they can achieve an agreement," nObama said. But he added that, "I've said from the start, I will walk away from the negotiations if in fact it's a bad deal." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/30/negotiators-extend-deadline-for-iran-nuclear-talks/

Let’s Drop the Charade: The Supreme Court Is a Political Branch
(Andrew McCarthy) ~ But this Court is not a legislature.” Chief Justice John Roberts actually published that sentence in his same-sex marriage dissent on Friday . . . a mere 24 hours after his maestro’s performance in the Supreme Court’s legislative rewrite of the Affordable Care Act – formerly known as “nObamacare,” but now etched in memory as “SCOTUScare,” thanks to Justice Antonin Scalia’s withering dissent. Roberts’s denial that the Court legislates is astonishing in its cynicism: In saving SCOTUScare, the chief justice not only usurped Congress’s law-writing role with gusto; he claimed the powers, first, to divine legislative purpose from its contradictory expression in legislative language, and, then, to manufacture legislative ambiguity as the pretext for twisting the language to serve the contrived purpose. It takes a Clintonian quantum of cheek to pull that off one day and, on the next, to inveigh against the very thought of it.

Activist ‘Disarm NYPD’ Planning to do THIS in NYC Independence Day
(allenwestrepublic.com) ~ Last week, we created an event called "Burn the American Flags", which has invoked quite a reaction from people, both positive and negative... What we had intended to be a decidedly small, unspectacular gathering of burning symbols of oppression has been shared thousands of times and has been picked up by the press. We feel that we should take this opportunity to further clarify our position on the subject. Despite this, many people are rather offended by our decision to burn the American flag. We find it a sign of the times that people can care so much about a piece of cloth, while at the same time be so quiet about black churches being burned all over the country. Perhaps this is the great difference between us and the so-called "patriots". While they express their loyalty to symbols, we express our loyalty to the lives of the oppressed.

Supreme Court disasters
(Thomas Sowell) ~ The highest court in America has once again demonstrated that the freedom for which whole generations have fought and died is gradually but increasingly being taken away from us with smooth and slippery words... Many people are looking at the recent Supreme Court decisions about nObamaCare and same-sex marriage in terms of whether they think these are good or bad policies. That is certainly a legitimate concern, for both those who favor those policies and those who oppose them. But there is a deeper and more long-lasting impact of these decisions that raise the question whether we are still living in America, where "we the people" are supposed to decide what kind of society we want, not have our betters impose their notions on us. http://www.onenewsnow.com/perspectives/thomas-sowell/2015/06/30/supreme-court-disasters

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Islamic Reformation." Can It Work?
(investigativeproject.org) ~ It is cocktail hour on an April afternoon in 2004. The sun is hot on Amsterdam's canals, and I am sitting at Café den Leeuw on the Herengracht with Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Hirsi Ali is still a member of the Dutch Parliament, and we talk about Islam... Specifically, we talk about the concept of "moderate Islam," or what she calls "liberal Islam." And she has one word for it. "It's absurd," she says. "It's complete nonsense. There is no 'liberal Islam.'" Things change.

Beware, Bibi, you war criminal! Shocking U.N. report calls for your -- and other Israelis' -- arrest
Anne Bayefsky
.
.
The report emanates from a board of inquiry the Council created in the midst of the 2014 Gaza war. In legalese, the call to arrest Israelis either for trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC), or before any court in any country that the U.N. labels "fair," reads like this:
.
The board "calls upon the international community … to support actively the work of the International Criminal Court in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory; to exercise universal jurisdiction to try international crimes in national courts; and to comply with extradition requests pertaining to suspects of such crimes to countries where they would face a fair trial."
.
To be fair, the U.N. report says this could apply to both parties. In other words, the democratic state of Israel, with a moral and legal obligation to defend its citizens, and the Palestinian attackers bent on genocide are moral equals. Throughout the 183-page tome, the U.N. council "experts" play the old "cycle of violence" trick, otherwise known as "it all started when you hit me back."
.
An infamous photo from the Third Reich shows eminent Jewish lawyer Michael Siegel, beaten and bloodied after going to police headquarters on behalf of a Jewish client who had been sent to Dachau, forced to walk through the streets of Munich with a sign around his neck saying: "I am a Jew, but I will never again complain to the police."
.
The similarity with today's U.N. authorities is painfully clear. When Israel responds to Palestinian rocket fire — 750 rockets in 2014 alone prior to the war's start — or Palestinian terrorists emerging from tunnels into Israel bent on carnage, it is Israel who is accused of war crimes. The only acceptable response, apparently, is to hang their heads or make a U.N. speech.
.
In part, the war criminal charge is just one more U.N. slander. U.N. meetings routinely consist of wild allegations of Israel committing genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and crimes against humanity, and frequently analogizing Israelis to Nazis. The anti-Semitic dimension of these attacks is palpable, with constant references to the offense of "Judaization" — the criminalization of the presence of Jews in what is supposed to be Judenrein Arab territory, or what is in practice apartheid Palestine.
.
While the point of all this hate speech is to demonize and delegitimize Israel, the war crimes label takes the campaign one step further. It deliberately ravages Israel's right of self-defense.
.
Self-defense is the essence of sovereignty. In the words of the U.N. Charter: "Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of … self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations …" The United Nations was not intended to be a suicide pact.
.
But incredibly, the U.N. council report purports to address legal responsibility for casualties in Gaza without once mentioning "self-defense."
.
It was exactly the outcome that the council had planned. The Council gave the board of inquiry its marching orders on July 23, 2014, just 16 days into the war. It named June 13, 2014, as the starting line because Palestinian terrorists kidnapped three Israeli teenagers on June 12. It said the Council "condemns … the violations … arising from the Israeli military operations." Guilty before proven innocent is how it all began.
.
The board's first chair, William Schabas, was forced to resign after it was revealed he had been a paid legal adviser to the Palestinian Authority. On his way out the door in February, Schabas admitted the "fact-gathering" was "largely completed," and yet the U.N. denied the obvious conclusion that the result was irrevocably tainted. Consequently, a Palestinian legal adviser chaired the inquiry for more than half of its 10-month existence.
.
Impartiality was equally alien to American Mary McGowan Davis, who took over from Schabas. She had already chaired a Council committee about the 2008/09 Gaza war, and she declared in a March 2011 report that Israel's legal system did not meet standards of independence or impartiality, or make "accountability" possible. Those criteria are both the pre-conditions for the ICC's ability to throw Israelis in prison and the subject matter of her 2014 job.
.
In short, the Council gave the same person the same assignment on almost the same fact situation … and surprise! Israel is guilty as charged. .
In 2011, McGowan Davis described the misogynist, homophobic, anti-free speech, "de facto authorities in Gaza" (i.e. Hamas) — infamous for throwing political opponents off tall buildings — as "generally tolerant of local human rights organizations."
.
A U.N. "human rights" expert par excellence.
.
Little wonder that the report is riddled with lies and libels. It claims Israel was "directing attacks against civilians," and acted "in utter disregard of…the civilian population…" It omits that Hamas rejected or violated a total of 11 cease-fires that would have reduced Palestinian casualties by 90 percent. It says the intent of "Palestinian armed groups" in constructing and using tunnels cannot be "conclusively determined" — photographic evidence of weapons caches and terrorists emerging from openings terrifyingly close to Israeli villages to the contrary.
.
It even goes so far as to lament that Palestinian "armed groups" don't have more room for their criminal enterprise: "…the obligation to avoid locating military objectives within densely populated areas is not absolute. The small size of Gaza and its population density make it difficult for armed groups to always comply with this requirement."
.
The U.N. has reached a new low. The United States should start by resigning from the Human Rights Council effective immediately.
