Forget About Too Big To Fail, America's Military
Has Become Too Small To Succeed
by Dan Goure
{nationalinterest.org} ~ Once upon a time, the U.S. had a large military that was technologically superior to its adversaries in many, even most, areas. Today, the U.S. military is a pale shadow of its former self... In 2016, the active component of the U.S. Army of 479,000 soldiers shrank to the smallest it has been since before World War II, when it had some 269,000. The number of Army combat brigades is scheduled to decline to 30 by 2018, one third fewer than there were just in 2013. The U.S. Navy, with 273 ships, is about the same size as it was prior to America’s entry into World War I. At approximately 5,000 total aircraft, the U.S. Air Force is both the smallest and oldest it has been since its inception in 1947. The number of active duty squadrons in the Air Force is slated to decline to 39, less than half of the 70 that were available during Operation Desert Storm. Army, Navy and Air Force end strengths are each about 40 percent smaller than they were at the end of the Cold War. This is one of the main reasons why the Pentagon had to rely on more than a hundred thousand private contractors to provide the necessary logistics, sustainment and communications for its deployed forces when it went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan... http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/forget-about-too-big-fail-americas-military-has-become-too-18489

liar-nObama fast-tracks plan to take
Muslim migrants rejected by Australia
by Leo Hohmann
{wnd.com} ~ The chairmen of the House and Senate judiciary committees are demanding the liar-nObama administration provide details of a secret resettlement deal in which the U.S. has agreed to take up to 1,800 mostly Muslim asylum seekers who have been rejected by Australia as illegal aliens... Congress only learned of the deal through media reports two weeks ago and, according to a letter sent to administration officials by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the deal is not only a matter of grave national security concern, but it could be illegal. That’s because it amounts to an international treaty that Secretary of State John hanoi-Kerry negotiated without consulting or notifying Congress according to Article II, Section II of the U.S. Constitution, according to the letter, sent by the two lawmakers Nov. 22 to hanoi-Kerry and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson...Both hanoi-Kerry and liar-nObama are jerks, including Johnson. http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/obama-fast-tracks-plan-to-take-muslim-migrants-rejected-by-australia/

Europe: Let's Self-destruct!

The 4-year-old son, Isa Dare, blowing up four prisoners in a car
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Roughly 30,000 foreign and European Islamic State fighters from around 100 different countries, who have gone to Syria, Iraq and Libya, could spread across the continent once the terror group is crushed in its Iraqi stronghold... warned Karin von Hippel, director-general of the UK military think tank, Royal United Services Institute, speaking to the Express on October 26: "I think once they lose territory in Iraq and Syria and probably Libya... they will likely go back to a more insurgent style operation versus a terrorist group that wants to try and hold onto territory... There has been about 30,000 foreign fighters that have gone in from about 100 countries to join. Not all of them have joined ISIS, some have joined al-Qaeda, Kurds, and other groups, but the vast majority have gone to join ISIS. These people will disperse. Some of them have already been captured or killed but many will disperse and they'll go to European countries...They may not go back to where they came from and that is definitely keeping security forces up at night in many, many countries"... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9373/europe-self-destruction

The Return of Assassination Fascination
by Michelle Malkin
{truthrevolt.org} ~ Alert the CDC: Left-wing America has been overcome by another contagious epidemic of assassination fascination. It's time to declare a public health crisis.
In San Antonio last week, two high school students performed a sicko skit depicting the assassination of President-elect Donald Trump.
In Cleveland, unhinged 24-year-old Zachary Benson tweeted his "life goal is to assassinate Trump." The hashtag #AssassinateTrump surfaced on Twitter, along with a flood of bloodthirsty death wishes.
Another #AssassinateTrump threat came from Atlanta public transit employee Aleama Philips, who tweeted, "I wish I had the balls to kill him myself," illustrated with a photo of Trump dead and riddled with bullets. She was fired by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority last week.
In San Diego, the loony (and now former) CEO of cybersecurity firm PacketSled, Matt Harrigan, took to Facebook on election night to declare: "I'm going to kill the president." He further threatened that he was "getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the White House that suits you, [expletive]. I'll find you."
In the music world, rapper Rick Ross vowed to "assassinate Trump like I'm (George) Zimmerman."
Inevitably, the Kill Trump mania has spread overseas. French radio host Pablo Mira reportedly gloated: "Donald Trump and his victory have given a hope in the American people -- the hope that he would be killed even before his inauguration."
Where is your condemnation of these perverted incitements to violence, President liar-nObama?
Where are you, media concern trolls, to bemoan the anti-Trump culture of hatred and climate of intolerance?
AWOL, of course. The Blame Righty crowd that has falsely blamed random shootings and suicides on conservative talk radio, the tea party, right-wing blogs and Fox News is nowhere to be found when left-wing violent extremism rears its ugly head.
Double-standard-its a chronic and recurring condition, accompanied by politically expedient amnesia. Assassination chic was all the rage when George W. Bush took office and extended throughout his two terms in office. I remember -- even if the civility and tolerance police at The New York Times don't.
Protesters displayed signs of a decapitated Bush gushing blood from his neck and slogans proclaiming "Bush -- the only dope worth shooting."
"Kill Bush" T-shirts spattered with fake blood went on sale at CafePress.com.
An art exhibit in Chicago featured Al Brandtner's work titled "Patriot Act," a sheet of mock 37-cent red, white and blue stamps showing a handgun pointed at Bush's head.
Off-Broadway play "I'm Going to Kill the President" led audience members in a group chant screaming, you guessed it, "I'm Going to Kill the President."
"Comedian" Rich Hall performed a public hate anthem, "Let's get together and kill George Bush."
Former Democratic Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear joked: "When I mention that Democrats are problem solvers, I can think of only one Republican who can be a problem solver -- that is Vice President Dick Cheney
(who accidentally shot a hunting companion in 2006) if he would just take George on a hunting trip."
Nicholson Baker penned "Checkpoint," a novella conversation between two people debating assassinating President Bush with "radio-controlled flying saws" or a "remote-controlled boulder made of depleted uranium."
Sarah Vowell wrote "Assassination Vacation," a best-selling murder travelogue of assassinated Republican presidents, in which she confessed she was so crippled by hatred of Bush that she couldn't even write his name and admitted that her "simmering rage against the current president scares me."
Across the pond, Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker lamented Bush's election with a screed asking, "John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. -- where are you now that we need you?"
British docudrama "Death of a President" imagined the assassination of Bush by a gunman at the Chicago Sheraton hotel after an anti-war rally.
And Code Pink poster woman Cindy Sheehan penned an autobiography in which she confessed her presidential murder fantasy -- going back in time and killing the infant Bush in order to prevent the Iraq War. She admitted she had entertained this infanticidal fantasy "often."
From "Kill Bush" to #AssassinateTrump, the naked hypocrisy of the "love and peace" left is on full display. Spare us the lectures about diversity, tolerance and safe spaces. Look in the mirror. Put down the haterade. Seek help.

Its always that way, the liberal dem think they know it all. They think they have all the answers. Where now shown their wrongs on the election? They really need to wake up. Sure, we also need to know not only our side but theirs as well.
Why would people across the pond be so irate? it is always so suspicious to me that they all know what they are up to, and the GOP, and we the people have zero idea of what it is we are facing in these Progressives. We had better get 'in the know'...They all seem to know the ground and end game and we are lost or in disbelief at the possibility of it.. And they are on it quick.
