 Biden Takes a Pass 
Despite a couple of well-placed endorsements from Barack nObama, loose lips-Joe Biden passed on a presidential run in a Rose Garden speech Wednesday. That huge sigh of relief you heard was from the Hilly Clinton campaign. After the May death of his son, Beau, loose lips-Biden wrestled with the decision and ultimately decided against it, concluding that "the window on mounting a realistic campaign for president ... has closed." Another way to look at it is that Clinton's debate performance cut off loose lips-Biden a day after Jim Webb quit the race. It solidifies her iron grip on the nomination.
          As nObama did in distancing himself from Clinton over her email server, however, loose lips-Biden implicitly repudiated the Democrat frontrunner for her political divisiveness. "I believe we have to end the divisive partisan politics that is ripping this country apart. ... It's mean-spirited, it's petty and it's gone on for far too long. I don't think we should look at Republicans as our opposition. They're not our enemies." That was a clear reference to Clinton's debate remark that Republicans were her most notable enemies. But it's ironic that loose lips-Biden made his comments while standing next to nObama, who has done more to make enemies of his political opponents than anyone.
          Many thought loose lips-Biden would be a Plan B for Democrats if Clinton is indicted by the FBI — and it's a remote possibility that he will remain so, as his remarks were basically an "I'm running" stump speech minus the "I'm running." nObama's recent dismissal of any national security implications from Clinton's careless handling of classified material makes an indictment even less likely, and loose lips-Biden's stepping aside may indicate nObama knows it. We don’t anticipate that a Democrat president is going to allow the Democrat frontrunner to be indicted, even if there's no love lost between the two. Finally, while we'd never support loose lips-Biden, we will miss the hilarity he would no doubt have brought to the campaign trail.  -The Patriot Post

 Speaker Ryan Will Bring Leadership, Not Management  
The House Freedom Caucus has found its speaker. The group of 40 lawmakers that drove the Department of Homeland Security to the edge of a shutdown in February over Barack nObama's unconstitutional executive amnesty and that was instrumental in the ouster of current Speaker backstabber-John Boehner, announced that a "supermajority" of its members would support Rep. Paul Ryan for the speakership. Unlike backstabber-Boehner, who squandered his role by trying to manage the herd of cats known as the House, Ryan plans to lead the chamber by bringing vision to the position. "Paul is a policy entrepreneur who has developed conservative rhans eforms dealing with a wide variety of subjects, and he has promised to be an ideas-focused Speaker who will advance limited government principles and devolve power to the membership," the Freedom Caucus said in a statement. Ryan said he would only run for the speakership if he got the backing from all the Republican groups in the House, ensuring that his leadership would bring a measure of unity. The Freedom Caucus torpedoed the speakership bid of House backstabber-Boehner Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, so its support is vital for the next speaker. If all goes well, Republicans will vote for the new speaker Oct. 29, backstabber-Boehner will resign his position the next day, and the GOP will have its speaker who will lead them into a new presidential administration. So far, Ryan seems to have the votes.   -The Patriot Post

 OPM's Hack Job on Security  
Earlier this year, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) discovered malicious cyber theft of background investigation records of current, former and prospective federal employees. Sensitive information was stolen, including the Social Security numbers of 21.5 million individuals. In a letter to those affected, OPM seems to have taken a one-size-fits-all approach that does not account for obvious disparities in the potential impact and threat among those whose data was stolen. From what we have learned thus far, the entry-level janitor at DHS is given the same level of "protection" as the Seal Team 6 operator, the nuclear submarine commander or the Jet Propulsion Laboratory rocket scientist whose personal data may have been compromised. "Fairness" and expediency trump common sense as the administration attempts to sweep under the rug this massive and unprecedented breach of security.
          It doesn't take that JPL rocket scientist to realize that our "adversary" (the politically correct term being used to describe the Red Chinese military hackers involved) will certainly prioritize the stolen data to identify high-value targets. The threat spectrum involved could run from targeted assassination in the worst case to blackmail, covert spying recruitment and military or economic espionage. Identity theft is one of the least damaging possibilities to anyone thinking big-picture national security.
          To simply place all 21 million of the affected individuals in one group and provide them three years of credit monitoring and identity theft insurance is nice, but it's also the height of insult and, frankly, stupid. Such boneheaded lack of vision and forethought is what brought us such a debacle in the first place. Even worse — those responsible for preventing this nightmare are still safely ensconced at OPM, a bureaucratic haven of incompetence if ever there was one. Not a single person has been fired, demoted or jailed for this incredible breach of our security, though Katherine Archuleta did step down as OPM director. Finally, we are not at all surprised to see that OPM used the disaster to ask Congress for more money.  -The Patriot Post

 Planned Parenthood Fights Defunding Efforts 
Texas Governor Greg Abbott informed Planned Parenthood that it would be dropped from the state’s Medicaid program. Abbott, a Republican, issued a press release Monday explaining, “The gruesome harvesting of baby body parts by Planned Parenthood will not be allowed in Texas and the barbaric practice must be brought to an end.” Amen to that.
          Undercover videos from The Center for Medical Progress exposed PP employees describing the harvesting of body parts from aborted babies. The fifth video was filmed in Houston and featured regional Director of Research Melissa Farrell, who implied that abortionists could change the procedure in order to obtain better "specimens." Farrell said, “If we alter our process, and we are able to obtain intact fetal cadavers, we can make it part of the budget that any dissections are this, and splitting the specimens into different shipments is this. It’s all just a matter of line items."
          Planned Parenthood reacted by pretending that women will no longer have access to health care. Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens called the Texas defunding “outrageous” and blamed it on “thoroughly discredited, fraudulent videos.” She claimed this will “cut women off from preventive health care.” PP has long sought to brand itself as synonymous with women’s health care, but, as CEO Cecile Richards admitted to Congress last month, the organization doesn't own or operate a single mammogram machine -The Patriot Post

 Ted Cruz Issues Urgent Warning – Everyone Needs to See This  
{TERRESA MONROE-HAMILTON} ~ Ted Cruz is far and away the savviest constitutionalist running in the primary. He doesn’t grandstand or throw insults. He is quietly building a national team and wisely spending his funds as needed... We are only one justice away from basically tearing up the Constitution. One more liberal Marxist put in place on the Supreme Court and you can kiss the Second Amendment goodbye. Hillary comes right out and says it – she is for gun confiscation. The First Amendment and freedom of religion and speech will be no more as well. We are right now on the edge of allowing UN troops on US soil and bowing to a World Court. Not only will you not recognize your country anymore, you won’t really have a country anymore. It’s that serious. In my opinion, Cruz can’t hammer hard enough on this point and thank goodness he is. America better be listening this time – it’s last call before the lights go out.

 FBI Reveals Islamic Compounds in the US – This Is Terrifying  
ISIS has made it very clear that they will be infiltrating civilized nations, including the United States, for the purpose of committing barbaric acts of terror in the name of ‘Allah.’... Now, the FBI has some FRIGHTENING information that’s been released! Despite what President nObama would like us to think, the ISIS terrorists pose a grave threat to our way of life. We all need to remain vigilant. None of us knows when or where the next terror attack will occur, or who will be behind it. They are targeting young people here on U.S. soil who hate their country to join them. Who is teaching our children to hate their country…and how do you prevent terror if it lives in your house, under the name of “loved one”?Congratulations nObama administration…this couldn’t have happened without you.        http://patriotupdate.com/alert-fbi-reveals-islamic-compounds-in-the-us-this-is-terrifying/

 NOAA Climate Scientist Admits Same Flawed Climate Modeling Blew... 
{rickwells.us} ~ “Hurricane Patricia was an unprecedented hurricane in terms of both the strength of the storm and the rapidity with which it developed.”... That’s the stated opinion of Robert Rogers, a hurricane researcher for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the type of individual that the typical hysterical climate-Nazis like Hussein nObama, hanoi-John Kerry, Gina McCarthy, or UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon would classify as a legitimate climate expert. NOAA is hardly an unbiased, objective, disinterested federal agency relying solely upon the facts to spread the climate doomsday message. Their climate page is filled with false assumptions and reinforcement of the pre-determined conclusion that man is destroying the Earth. They’re a mind control arm of the United Nations one world government operatives. To illustrate the tenor of site and its pervasive alarmist propaganda a few selections have been posted below as a foundation for illustrating the stark contrast of the admission by the expert, Mr. Rogers that follows. Science is a tool of propaganda at NOAA, the propaganda which leads to a surrender of American sovereignty. Statements indicating their lack of objectivity and resolute commitment to the fraud include:        http://rickwells.us/archives/21278

 Clinton Exposed To Perjury Prosecution – Judge Napolitano...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Judge Andrew Napolitano does not share the view of many others in the media that the criminal former Secretary of State, Hilly Clinton, hit herself an out of the park homerun in her Benghazi testimony... He thinks she might have at best foul-tipped into a triple play out. He explained in an interview with WND that Clinton had three audiences to which she was speaking in the hearings and that she appears, in his estimation, to have forgotten the most important one, from the standpoint of a potential for prosecution. The questioning by Rep Mike Pompeo (R-KS) has left Ms Clinton vulnerable, exposed as deceptive in a manner which could come back to haunt her. Pompeo followed a line of questioning related to her knowledge of arms dealing by Marc Turi, who is presently being prosecuted by the Department of Justice for lying on a State Department application to ship arms to Libya. In an article for WND Dr Jerome Corsi wrote of Napolitano’s observations on the three audiences and how that line of questioning could prove to be extremely critical. Napolitano said, “Her immediate audience was the committee, whose members generally do not know how to ask questions of witnesses who are trying to hide the truth. Her second audience was the American people, who will recall no more than 15 second sound bites and general impressions.” But there was that third audience...        http://rickwells.us/archives/21319

 Inside the Phony War in Iraq  
{Aaron MacLean} ~ The most telling moment in 60 Minutes’ report this weekend on the fight against the Islamic State, “Inside the Air War,” passed without comment... As correspondent David Martin took a tour of the Qatar-based combat operations center from which the air war is coordinated, there was a brief camera shot of a screen showing the location of aviation assets across the region. The image showed that there were a couple of dozen or so friendly aircraft in the skies above Iraq—but over Syria, where the U.S. has few friends on the ground and is being pushed aside in the skies by the Russians, it appeared that there were only two or three. The president and his senior aides do not think that a Middle East where Russia and Iran command equal or greater influence than the U.S. must be an objectively worse place. The U.S. is itself morally compromised, and to the extent that Iran and Russia can behave problematically, the fact is with less pressure placed on them by American hawks, the more moderate elements of their societies will come to the fore, and the arc of their behavior will bend towards justice. The success of the strategic realignment is dependent upon the continued support of the American people, who don’t like casualties but also don’t like to think their military is losing: hence the war for the media and for public opinion. Actual progress against the Islamic State is a purely secondary concern. That’s why, despite our apparent failures on the battlefield, we shouldn’t expect any changes coming from the White House. For them, the war is going just fine.

 Trey Gowdy, Greta On Benghazi- Clinton Was Evasive...  
{rickwells.us} ~ Trey Gowdy answers a few questions relating to the Benghazi hearings, some of which are in reference to the testimony of former Secretary of State Hilly Clinton... He’s asked if a determination has yet been made as to who was responsible for security at the facility, a question which he points out Clinton spent the day supposedly taking responsibility but not for the ignored requests for additional security. He addresses the intermediary level authority, later revealed to be Patrick Kennedy, who was given input into the composition of the accountability review board and later excluded from any culpability in spite of being prominent in the decision making chain. Gowdy seems to have grown weary of the selective releases demanded and leaked by the Democrat members of his committee, including the current push on their part to release Sidney Blumenthal’s testimony. He’s now determined it to be best to release all witness testimony and his having those documents reviewed for sensitive information at this time, and subsequently released to the public. He also discusses upcoming witnesses and a threat by Nancy Pulosi that her members may walk from the committee.

 UN / US Paris Climate Propaganda – Evil, Stupid Americans Must...  
{rickwells.us} ~ None of this garbage the globalist con-artists are claiming is actually happening, so it’s quite a testament to the stupidity of the human race and the American people that they’ve achieved the level of saturation of their idiocy that they have... The UN and US Propaganda machinery is working overtime, spinning out a message for the mindless “global citizens,” useful idiots who have no concept of the degree to which they are being defrauded and manipulated by power-mad criminals holding positions of abused authority. The message in the video tripe is simple, often voiced by exploited children, a UN specialty. After all, it’s their future we’re destroying, so they claim, by not submitting to their Marxist world government. If only we’d surrender our self-determination to a fairy tale and authoritarian control, the Earth would be so grateful and a much better place to live.History would tell us that the twenty million who perished under Stalin had a lot more to worry about under Marxism than CO2, that they didn’t have it so great. And what of the six million Jews who perished under Hitler? Totalitarianism led to air quality that was quite bad, particularly around the Auschwitz ovens. What, other than total ignorance makes these fools think today’s tyrants are different?        http://rickwells.us/archives/21345

 Chaos in Germany! Muslim Gangs Attack Churches and Schools...  
{Tim Brown} ~ The home of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation is now being overrun with an invading force of the followers of Muhammad. Germany has opened the floodgates of the antichrist following Muslims and now they are seeing the devastating consequences, but Germany seeks to coverup the crimes of the religion of pieces... Islamic gangs in Germany have broken into schools and churches and plundered collection boxes, crosses and other valuable and sacred objects used in church services, according to prosecutors. From the schools, the men stole laptops, money and a cash card, which they used to finance ISIS jihadist fighters seeking to topple the regime of Syrian president Bashur al-Assad, alleged chief prosecutor Nadja Gudermann. The pilfered churches were in the area around Cologne, a city known for its many historic and beautiful churches including a soaring cathedral.

 SHAMEFUL: Hilly and Her Media Protectors 
{David Limbaugh} ~ Isn’t it just great that the liberal establishment views Hilly Clinton’s testimony in the Benghazi hearings in terms of performance art rather than substance?... That’s the liberals’ way of telling you how much they value integrity. It would be one thing if the mainstream liberal media said, “Clinton got caught red-handed in a number of lies, and not just on insignificant matters but on very important ones, but overall she held up well under pressure, and because of her performance, the hearings may actually be a net plus for her.” At least that would be closer to honest. It wouldn’t be totally forthright, though, because if the liberal media went after her for her lies instead of helping cover them up, there is no way the hearings would benefit her. In fact, conservatives have complained about the liberal media for so long that we tend to forget just how influential they are to their followers – liberal America and Democratic voters. If they would ever do the right thing – as opposed to selecting and slanting the news to promote the liberal agenda – America would be quite a different place today.

 Muslim Family in Florida Displays Israeli Flag in Solidarity...  
{Shiryn Ghermezian} ~ A Muslim family in South Florida is showing solidarity with Israel by hanging an Israeli flag in their store window, NBC Miami reported on Friday... “The Muslim people want peace and unfortunately, the only country in the Middle East that wants peace is Israel, and that’s the reason why I want to hang the Israeli flag and support them,” said Duran Agba, who runs a tailor shop with his family in the predominately Jewish neighborhood of Surfside. Agba said his family’s sympathy with Israeli terror victims stems from the fact that his home country, Turkey, has also been plagued with the threat of terrorism. He said his family identifies with anybody under attack. “Let’s say the Palestinians wanted to have peace in their homeland and the Israelis were attacking them the whole time,” he posited. “I would hang the Palestinian flag.”

Delusional White House on Iran Missile Test:
UN Resolution Implementing Iran Deal

     {aim.org} ~ In its continuing humiliation of President nObama – who clings to his Iran deal despite Iran’s continuing to call for “Death to America,” banning of further negotiations with the U.S., convicting of one of its American hostages of bogus espionage charges, joining with Russia to prop up Assad by bombing America-backed insurgents, and contemptuously asserting that it will ignore provisions of the deal to which it objects – the jihadist regime in Tehran tested a ballistic missile over the weekend in blatant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2231, which codifies the Iran deal.
.
     The nObama White House response to Iran’s brazenness today is astonishing, even by delusional nObama standards. The president’s spokesman, Josh Earnest, acknowledged there were “strong indications that those missile tests did violate U.N. Security Council resolutions that pertain to Iran’s ballistic missile activities.” Nevertheless, he maintained with a straight face that “this is altogether separate from the nuclear agreement that Iran reached with the rest of the world.”
.
     What? The resolution that implements the said nuclear agreement directs Iran, for approximately the next eight years,
not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology[.] [Annex B, Paragraph 3.]
.      This, mind you, is the resolution that nObama ran to the U.N. to get before Congress was permitted to review and vote on the Iran deal. Since that deal expressly prohibits the precise activity in which Iran has now engaged, how can this violation be “altogether separate” from the deal?
.
     According to Earnest, they are separate because (a) nuclear activities are somehow separate from activities involving ballistic missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons; (b) Security Resolution 2231 that implements the Iran deal is somehow separate from other Security Council resolutions that ban Iran’s ballistic missile activities even though Resolution 2231, too, bans Iran’s ballistic missile activities; and (c) Iran’s pattern of violating international law pertaining to ballistic missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons is somehow irrelevant to the administration’s level of confidence that it will adhere to its commitments regarding nuclear weapons development, notwithstanding that it has a history of flouting those commitments, too.
.
     nObama promised that if Iran cheated, the sanctions would instantly “snap back.” As I’ve pointed out before, there was never the remotest chance that this was true – indeed, the fine print of the Iran deal ensures that sanctions will not snap back by exempting commerce with Iran undertaken pursuant to the deal.
.
     But here Iran is not just cheating. It is mocking its commitments in broad daylight. And what is nObama’s reaction? He takes on the role of Iran’s defense lawyer, parsing and nullifying the restrictions in his own deal.
.
     The ink hasn’t yet dried and it is already manifest that nObama’s Iran deal is a farce that provides aid and comfort to a committed enemy of the United States. Is Congress planning to do anything about that?
