Common-Core-Cruz-Christians?post_id=1448468906_10203852994912473#_=_

You have received 45 pages of hyperlinks/graphics *in five separate blast e-mails] and, as in the past,
its desirable to pause to ponder their import. The priority was documenting the Fascist nature of what
BHO has done and contemplates, as Obama Unleashed the Academic Far-Left, granting it the
equivalent of a federal hunting license. This blast e-mail reviews what is occurring on the national level
in this regard, and it encompasses both statewide and international concerns.

His effort to achieve control over the public debate was dramatized today when FEDS
WARNED that the conservative media [e.g., Drudge & Sean Hannity] FACE
REGULATION; Drudge and Breitbart are, of course, WILD over this prospect. Carefully
delineated were close-correlates between his actions and those of the libs in the Dem-
party, undermining any rationalization that opposition to his efforts cannot spill-over
into impugning the entire Dem-agenda.




As he attempts to make-permanent his domestic-agenda and foreign-policy failures, it is hoped that
plummeting-polling will prompt someone *perhaps a senator who faces the voters in 14?+ to help him
walk-back his spate of anti-Constitutional actions; always trying to be helpful, he can start by contacting
Cruz, who has Released a List of 76 'Lawless' Obama Actions. {Last night, manifesting his technique of
misdirection, BHO claimed D.C. is dysfunctional.}

BHOs plan to regulate free-speech on the Internet may actually constitute half of a
cynical gambit, recalling his threat to relinquish control over the Internet to a U.N. body;
he could trade acquiring the latter by dropping the former, yielding messaging control.
Similarly, recalling stalled efforts to institute sales-tax on Internet-transactions [which
would constitute an administrative nightmare] and the new proposal for an annual
comprehensive Internet charge of $75, again, he could drop the former by acquiring
consent for the latter *and then subsidies for the poor+. The net-result would be the

1088

ability of BHO both to exclude conservative rhetoric and to tax the free-speech that
routinely fuels it. This is the level of cynical, evil extortion that fuels these analyses,
assuredly to be detailed when Lionsgate Distributes Dinesh D'Souza's 'America.' {Finally,
noted is the fact that a Gaffe Can Matter When It Motivates the Base.}




Updating BHOs Scandal-Sheet, the media are finally scrutinizing the Smoking Gun memo [Benghazi
Documents Point to White House on Misleading Talking Points], it is desirable to note how quickly the
Benghazi Cover-Up is Blowing Up; it is now established that everyone [The State Department, Hillary,
Susan Rice, BHO] knew within 24-hours that Benghazi was a jihad terror attack and, thus, they all lied to
the American people. [Some argue that there is a superficial-case-against-trey-gowdy-heading-the-
benghazi-committee based on the fact that, although Gowdy Vows Fair Benghazi Hearing, he sports a
Bad Haircut and a Mismatched Suit.] Competing for attention is the IRS-Scandal, noting that 10% of 'tea
party' donors were audited by IRS, that Lois Lerner was Held in Contempt, and that Boehner can
imprison this former IRS boss; meanwhile, CRUZ RENEWED HIS CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT IRS
INVESTIGATION, Demanding a Vote to Stop IRS Targeting. {The latest cable-news RATINGS again show
FOX DOMINATES, while CNN CRASHED; it seems MSNBCs thomas-roberts doesnt-know-how-to-
apologize for alleged-racism, even from libs critique him.}

As noted in an earlier blast focused on the GOPs Civil-War, Lamentably, it seems
Romney-is-fighting-the-tea-party-again, recalling his having been endorsed by the
Independence Hall Tea Party PAC; thus, for informational-purposes only, note its 2014
Tri-State Tax Day Congressional Scorecard. {It is worth recalling, finally, that oliver-
north-dismantled the new-york-times-article-linking-veterans-coming-home-kkk-white-
supremacy; thus, the quality of the candidates will determine the overall impact of the
conservatives upon mainstream Republicans.}



1089


Otherwise, regarding domestic issues, Obama Ignores Voters' Top Concerns and, instead, Focuses on
Global Warming; meanwhile, 58 Million Working-Age People are Not Working and a Record-Low
Number of Ages 25-29 are Employed. It seems that a cbo-report-shows-presidents-budget-relies-on
rosy-economic-assumptions but, predictably, Pelosi claimed the GOP Budget Takes Food Away from
People of Color and Heritage-Action is [for different reasons] running away FROM THE RYAN BUDGET.
Cynicism abounds, particularly when The Forgotten Taxpayer notes what the IRS funds [e.g., EPA Official
Confirms Porn-Watching Bureaucrat Got Bonus Pay and senior execs violated the law against the feds
for using govt aircraft for personal use over 400 times]; one thinker has analyzed whether a tax-hike
would prove beneficial and even GOV. BROWN opposes RAIDING CALIFORNIA'S SAVINGS TO PAY DOWN
ITS DEBT. {Just as BHO did in D.C., Nutter plans to sign a minimum wage executive order.}

Myriad other issues have emerged today [e.g., Monica Lewinsky's Top 7 Revelations and
CALIFORNIA TEENS LACK CONCERN OVER DANGERS OF DRIVING DRUNK]; also, the
Supreme Court Won't Hear Florida Appeal by Florida Gov. Rick Scott on his 2011
Employee Drug Testing executive order which would have established a rule that would
have required random drug tests for as many as 85,000 state workers. In addition,
Michelle Obama said 'Splurging Is the Key to Life' if people regularly eat right and stay
active; her biggest guilty pleasure is eating French fries. Regarding other major social
issues, it was noted that a 1
st
grader had an unloaded gun at York school, a CONVICT
WANTED FOR 1981 MURDER IN PENNSYLVANIA was DISCOVERED AS TEXAS CHURCH
LEADER, and that an Accused murderer thinks his huge murder tattoo might prejudice
the jury; meanwhile, ObamaDontCares 8 Million enrollment-Number Contains 'Many
Duplicates,' even as it was reported that PA OBAMACARE ENROLLMENT TOPS 300,000.
{Illustrating the potency of social-media, it seems the NYPD Hashtag Gambit went
Horribly Wrong, as the citizenry flamed-out on its frustrations with NYC-government.}




Some attention should be directed @ the PA-13 Dem-primary, as Margolies slammed Boyle on abortion;
this is a predictable emanation from an angry woman who feels entitled to being granted a reprise
because of The Vote [which Daylin Leach blasted as reflecting the absence of principles, during their
debate last week]. Indeed, noting that Half of Texas' Abortion Clinics were Closed Due to violations of
Safety Standards, it is clear that its dangerous to invoke hot-button gender-issues overtly. {In a rare
unifying gesture, the-dnc blasted a liberal websites attempt-to-cast a gop-spokesman-as a skinhead.}


1090

This is the Heritage Action report, as elucidated both during yesterdays Sentinel Call
and via todays blast e-mail c/o Mike Henry [Hyperlink to Forge for a subscription]:

Shaheen-Portman
This week, the Senate is likely to consider the Energy Savings and Industrial
Competitiveness Act of 2013 (S. 2262). Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid continues to
demand Shaheen-Portman be tied to any vote on the Keystone Pipeline. Introduced by
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), the bill claims to promote
energy savings in industrial and commercial buildings. However, by providing federal
incentives (i.e. taxpayer dollars) to make building and manufacturing processes more
efficient, the bill would burden taxpayers and consumers alike while producing no
tangible benefits. Like most government-initiated efficiency programs, this one is fatally
flawed because it is based on the idea that businesses and families will act irrationally
unless the government intervenes. Heritage Action is key voting against Shaheen-
Portman if the bill is brought up for consideration. All Sentinels are encouraged to
oppose.

Immigration
An important update on Representative Jeff Denhams (R-CA) Encourage New Legalized
Immigrants to Start Training, or ENLIST, Act (H.R. 2377): momentum appears to be
stalling for efforts to attach it to the annual defense authorization bill (NDAA); instead, it
appears House leaders plan to put it on the Suspension Calendar in early June. The
Suspension Calendar is usually reserved for noncontroversial bills and requires a two-
thirds (290) vote. The ENLIST Act would allow DREAMersunlawful immigrants brought
to the U.S. as minorsto acquire lawful permanent resident (LPR) status in exchange for
military service. Essentially, by allowing illegal immigrants to sign up for the armed
forces, the government would grant them, a) pardon for violating the law, b) the full
battery of military benefits, c) lawful permanent resident status in the U.S., and d) a
back-door promise of instant citizenship.

As Heritage Actions Wade Miller has stated:

Allowing DREAMers...to acquire lawful permanent resident (LPR) status
in exchange for military service turns military service into a penance.
Our volunteer military thrives in large part because American citizens
recognize that it is a privilege, not a punishment, to serve in the military.

Sentinels are encouraged to keep close watch over the immigration
fight in the House and make sure Members realize that ENLIST is one of
the many piecemeal amnesty bills and should not be considered by
the House of Representatives.

Keystone Pipeline
Also on the energy front this week, the Senate could vote on legislation to expedite
construction of the Keystone pipeline, overriding the ongoing State Department
review. Last week, Leader Harry Reid implied he would allow Republicans to have a
standalone vote, which would require 60 votes to overcome the Democratic
filibuster. Last year, 62 senators voted in favor of symbolic Keystone amendment on the

1091

budget, which means 16 Senate Democrats Sens. Baucus (MT), Begich (AK), Bennet
(CO), Carper (DE), Casey (PA), Coons (DE), Donnelly (IN), Hagan (NC), Heitkamp (ND),
Johnson (SD), Landrieu (LA), Manchin (WV), McCaskill (MO), Nelson (FL), Pryor (AR), and
Tester (MT) are on record supporting the pipeline. It is important to note these
Senators have done almost nothing to push the issue in the 13 months since. Heritage
Action will key vote the issue in the Senate and encourages all Sentinels to support the
measure.

Export-Import Bank
Attempting to rally support for its reauthorization in September, defenders of Ex-Im
have begun to cling to the argument that the bank returns a profit to the Treasury. As
explained last week, Ex-Im is only able to produce returns off of the capital it took from
the Treasury in the first place. Moreover, these returns pale in comparison to ultimate
risk exposure. Even if a lawmaker takes comfort in that weak talking point, the Banks
partisan cronyism is much harder to defend. Over the weekend, the Washington
Examiner found the third biggest donor to Democrats this election cycle is the owner
of a company that also happens to be the No. 2 recipient of insurance issued by the
Export-Import Bank.

Leftist Propaganda on National Mall
Today, the House may take up a vote on H.R. 863, a bill that would establish a
commission to study the construction of a National Womens History Museum
(NWHM) on the National Mall. While the idea of honoring the great female leaders of
American History is noble and shared by all, many conservatives are concerned that the
museum will soon become a platform to promote liberal propaganda. NWHMs website
disproportionately endorses questionable figures the progressive and feminist agendas
(Margaret Sanger, Victoria Woodhull, etc.), and it is likely that taxpayers will eventually
be called upon to help finance the site and support this damaging historical
narrative. Despite being opposed by Concerned Women for America and Susan B.
Anthony List, and being controversial for the past 16 years, this bill is also on the House
suspension calendar.




Although Guzzardi isnt challenging the flawed-decision of the PA-Supremes, Guzzardi will join Corbett
on some GOP primary ballots as the Dems conduct Pennsylvanias Nasty Democratic Civil War;
meanwhile, it does not appear the State Stores are going to be sold any time soon [PA GOP's wine-to-go
plan blasted], as other agenda-items have surfaced [ONLINE GAMBLING COULD GET A LOOK IN PA, PA
Senate passes plan to create prescription drug monitoring system and PA House OKs measure to award

1092

previously unused film tax credit money+. One of Guzzardis favorite-people, Scott Ott, is resigning as
Lehigh commissioner and is moving to Texas; another is Art Halvorson, who is Standing Against Deceitful
Charges. {Also revealed was the claim that a PA-COMMUNITY'S neighborhood watch is RUN BY the
LOCAL KU KLUX KLAN; this recalls the controversial Skokie, Illinois march supported by the ACLU.}

Common Core continues to be debated; on Tuesday-p.m., it was defended by Michelle
Rhee on FNC, even as george-will destroyed it in-under-90-seconds on FNC, as well.
Fueling support are the facts that Dems such as Wendy Davis adore it and that Only
One-Quarter of U.S. High School Seniors are Solid in Math [and, thus, would be excited
by the fact that Scientists Added New Letters to Alphabet of Life]; fueling opposition are
the facts that a common-core-lesson-denied the holocaust and that a NH Parent was
Arrested for Protesting Graphic Sex Content in a School Assignment. Compounding the
dissonance is the claim that Homeschooled children may face job discrimination, thus
yielding impetus to comply with Common Core, and that the white-house has urged
parents-to-monitor-children-for-signs-of-becoming-terrorists. {I oppose a one-size-fits-
all approach that has not been validated, preferring diversity and local-control.}



The Next Step in the Campus War on Jews to counter the BDS (boycott, divest, sanction) crowd, is to
start a campaign seeking to stigmatize those who take trips to Israel sponsored by Jewish organizations.
Thats whats happening at UCLA where an election has promoted a debate over whether it is ethical for
candidates for student offices to have been to Israel on a visit sponsored by a Jewish organization. Also,
a UC Santa Barbara student alleged her black studies professor warned any Ted Cruz-supporting tea
baggers to get the hell out of his classroom before he sent them home to their mother in a body bag.

BHO could begin to roll-back support for the Muslim Brotherhood by arming the Kurds
[as per my essay]; indeed, he could attend their worldwide conference in Stuttgart,
Germany, next month. Assad's Syrian Forces were to Receive Russian Fighter Jets, as
SYRIAN OPPOSITION FORCES FLED 'CAPITAL OF THE REVOLUTION'; reportedly, U.S.
MISSILES ARE BEING USED BY ISLAMIST FIGHTERS IN SYRIA.



1093







Thus, although the Obama Administration has Ignoried Persecution of Christians, there are indications
that America is Finally asakening to the Threat of Sharia; these trends occur within an international
backdrop in BANGLADESH [WHERE MUSLIM MOB TERRORIZED CITY FOLLOWING INSULT OF PROPHET
MUHAMMAD] and in Yemen [where the Embassy will be closed Temporary Closed]. They are finally
focusing national attention on Boko Haram [as suddenly-provoked by otherwise-lib Isolationists]; as a
result, the U.S. is to Send a Team to Nigeria to Help Find Kidnapped Girls, even as a Chinese Delegation
to Nigeria Aspires to Strengthen Economic Ties at this Crucial Time. {In other hot-spots, it is noted that
Crimean Tatars are Threatened With Crackdown as Leader is Awarded in Poland, Almost $8 Billion was
Lost by Venezuelan Community Organizers, and Sexual Rights Dominated the U.N. Sustainable
Development Negotiations.}

Ann Bayefsky reported [somewhat facetiously] that the U.N.s top human rights body
had been struggling with a major dilemmadetermining how much prior Israel-bashing
experience is necessary to be appointed U.N. independent expert on Israeluntil
Indonesian Makarim Wibisono was found to have just the right mix of confirmed anti-
Israel bias and diplomatic cover to replace outgoing U.N. expert Richard Falk. Also, it is
unclear why Israel Wants To Give Mount Zion And The Tomb Of David To The Vatican.

Having caught-up with the current news on multiple fronts [and having pledged to exert far greater
selectivity when disseminating these blast e-mails, focused like-a-laser on action-items], it is desirable
to place current-observations within the context of prior-eventsand encompass previously-preserved
citations. The focus of this first blast e-mail is BHO himself, elaborating on his autocratic background
and actions *and, perhaps, presaging his Presidencys demise, either overtly or via prematurely being a
lame-duck]; first, a few follow-up items are provided regarding selected state-level issues.

Jim Foster, editor/publisher of germantown newspapers, has five Questions for the Next PA-Governor:
What is your proposal to deal with the fiscal meltdown of many of this states older cities and the
critical state of the underfunded pensions?
Would you consider returning full control of the Philadelphia School System back to the city, with the
full understanding its budget would be part of the citys annual budget, and would be reviewed and
overseen by the PICA Board with its continuing state oversight authority?
Would you consider expanding the size and transparency of the PICA Board (Presently without a
Chairman) and staffing it with a team of qualified experts rather than the political staffing process that is
currently in effect?
How do you view the proposed Comcast merger with Time Warner that is seeking FCC approval that
would likely make it a communications monopoly unseen since the 19
th
Century?
How would you approach statewide oversight and efficient regulation of the Natural Gas industry?
{A sixth would be based on the report that INTERNET GAMBLING COULD GENERATE $113M FOR PA.}

Rep. Mike Vereb, R-Montgomery County, who is a House GOP leader, predicted no
scenario in which the House takes up any impeacment action against AG-Kane until all
the investigations have been completed. The Corbett Medicaid plan advanced and
seeks bids from insurance companies; Federal approval, however, pends. Mike is also
the MCRC-Chair [MontCo Republican Party] and, of course, would disagree with the
view that the pennsylvania-gop-party has no principles; he also has disagreed with how
Guzzardi calculaes his liberty index. Also, policies adopted over the past year at half of
the 14 PSEA [Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Universities] allow
weapons in certain places on campuses. {Also, Corbett Will Not Appeal Voter ID Ruling.}

After the transportation-bill achieve passage, it was noted that Fines and fees were set-to-go-up-to-
offset-highway-funding-bill-costs; also, pennsylvania-turnpike-rates-jumped, an event that has become
customary after the state in 2007 enacted Act 44, requiring the commission to fork over $450 million
annually to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. {Also, Rivals threatened another sale of
Philly newspapers, and new bidding was initiated.}

This is the statement of Jimmy Clendennen, who is running to become a member of the
state-committee: The Path to Victory: A Campaign Centered on the Constitution.
Constitutional Republicanism is centered on an agenda of Constitutional Republican
limited government and economic freedom; a government of enumerated powers,
checks, balances and the separation of powers including 10th amendment federalism,
Rule of Law, free markets for free people and the divine rights of the individual, the
value and importance of every individual, as explicated in the Hebrew Scriptures.



Benghazi-Gate is hot, with the issues having been broken-down into five components: [1]Why were
the CIA personnel @ the Annex *Iran-Contra violation?+?; *2+Why didnt Hillary provide more
security or evacuate?; [3]Why wasnt a military response launched?; *4+How did the idea of a video
arise?; and [5]Why wasnt the Rhodes-memo released to Congress in 13? Of-interest is the fact that
Eileen McCann [Mrs. Dick Morris] discovered that, 36 Hours Before Rhodes Email, Hillary Used the
IDENTICAL Cover-Up Script; other facet of the scandal have been elucidated [2
nd
Set Of Benghazi Talking
Points; Republican Presidential Candidates Usually Lose Before They Win; Benghazi Subpoena Scandal;
and Benghazi: Everybody's Following The Wrong Talking Points. Morris theorized that Hillary initiated
the idea of blaming the video, and it is anticipated that discovery of the security-briefing provided during
that entire week will confirm the fact that there WAS evidence [almost immediately] that this has been
a planned military assault [despite Presser-Carneys absolute denial that there was any evidence of any
etiology other than the video]. Some argue the medias-pre-election-cover-up-of-the-irs-and-benghazi-
scandals gave-obama-the-2012-election; this is phrased also as the 2012 elections, both presidential
and senate, were stolen by Obama, the Democratic Party, the IRS, and government employee unions.

Chris Stevens was not responsible for the reduction in security personnel, Gregory
Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, wrote in a Wall
Street Journal op-ed Thursday. His requests for additional security were denied or
ignored. Officials at the State and Defense Departments in Washington made the
decisions that resulted in reduced security.

judge-napolitano said that the fact that the white-house withheld the benghazi-emails could-be-
violation-federal-law [obstruction of justice] and that the power of the benghazi House Select-
Committee was potent; obama-can even be-forced-to-testify. JUDICIAL WATCH avers the BENGHAZI
DOCS POINT TO WH HOUSE, even as BOEHNER and PELOSI NEGOTIATE OVER BENGHAZI SELECT
COMMITTEE DETAILS. MSNBC interviews were remarkable; Gowdy said the Benghazi Investigation
Transcends Politics, but Requires Obama Administrations Cooperation, while Scarborough Interrupted
Alex Wagners Benghazi Denial, exclaiming, Dont Insult Our Intelligence! {Listen to Patriotic American
actor, Jon Voight, speaking about the White House's facilitating Iran's nuclear weapons, covering-up

1097

scapegoating "Islamophobia" for running Benghazi arms to al-Qaeda in Syria, and election fraud in the
voting system.}

This matter segues into the issue of transparency, noting that [liberal] NY-Times Editor
Jill Abramson concluded BHOs tenure has created the 'Most secretive White House I
have ever dealt with'; a reporter was even banned-from-meeting-with-obamas interior-
secretary. Litigation has emerged, as a Court rejected Obamas food stamp secrecy and
the consumer financial protection bureau was accused of violating transparency law.
{obamas administration: complete-and-absolute-corruption-throughout.}

The fact that 26 Democrats joined Republicans in voting to seek a special counsel to probe the IRS
targeting scandal illustrates that a Department of Justice investigation of the matter is a joke, Rep. Jim
Jordan (R-Ohio) said. Indeed, irs-agreed-to-give-house-committee-all-lois-lerner-emails; in response,
harry-reid-scolded the press-for-being-too-fair-to-republicans. Ultimately, the idea that Lerner should
get immunity is pure insanity, because 1) she should be held to answer for what she did, 2) we dont
know how involved she was and thus dont know just how egregious her criminal activities were, and 3)
even if she did testify, its very unlikely that she would give any names of bigger fish in the
Administration who were involved, so granting immunity would be fruitless. Ultimately, Gowdy feels the
irs-scandal leads to the white-house.

Guzzardi notes Personnel is Policy, and thus, illustrating another dimension to his
incompetence [in addition to elevating people such as Lois Lerner] is his proclivity to
appoint ambassadors to reward politically [Max Baucus was not Exactly Prepared to be
Ambassador to China] or as acknowledgements of campaign contributions [Obama's
Norway Ambassador Pick Fumbled Basic Questions About Norway]. Also, obamas pick-
of-new-chief-advisor is rich-in-symbolism for, apparently, bain was not so-bad-after-all.

BHOs autocratic-intent is out-of-control [Obama not waiting on legislation: 'I've got a pen and I can use
it to sign executive orders'; VIDEO; obama-eliminating-opposing-voices-using-dictatorial-practices;
obama-asks-mayors-to-help-him-act-like-a-dictator-and-rule-by-decree; obama will negotiate with
putin, but not with-republicans. Some ascribe his audacity to what Podesta said to Obama *You dont
need Congress. Just use executive orders. Whos going to stop you? and Laughing Podesta said Obama
is to Enact 'Energy Transformation Agenda' Through Executive Action] and others, such as Mark Levin,
feel he is Executing a Quiet Coup and cannot stomach bipartisanship that could support tyranny. In
reaction, although dana-milbank falsely claims republicans are flip-flopping on-judicial-activism, House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) called on the courts to check the presidents
overreach, and he complained that the federal courts have read their own powers much more
narrowly than they should.

The Liar-In-Chief can tell Potential Sheepies: WE DONT HAVE AN URGENT DEFICIT
CRISIS as the debt worsens; he can also prevaricate about personal knowledge [obama-
said his father-served-world-war-ii and denied before he admitted he had Lived With
Illegal Immigrant Uncle], and then demonstrate Holocaust Hypocrisy. Just revealed, also,
is that the "Devastating" Sequester Cuts Cost a Total of One (1) Federal Job!

Dinesh DSouza, director of the 2012 documentary 2016: Obamas America, was arrested and indicted
for campaign finance fraud; an Edwards donor was charged with a misdemeanor for the same crime.
Thus, the-dsouza-arrest suggests obama-adopted the-stalinist-style, even as the media are not-very-

1098

curious-about this issue; in any case, the Godfather Producer Joined D'Souza for Post-2016 Film, and
note this preview. This is the open-letter that he remitted on January 14, 2014 in reaction to this event,
recognizing that obamas-goal is to quash-targeted-filmmakers-upcoming-movie:

I feel very privileged to now have two Oscar-winning producers working on my
upcoming film, America. This week, we announced that Gray Frederickson, Best Picture
Oscar-winner for The Godfather Part II, will co-produce America along with Gerald
Molen, who also won an Oscar for Best Picture.

America comes out in the theaters across the country on the Fourth of July, and
Frederickson makes a great addition to our team. His credits include Apocalypse Now,
One From the Heart, The Outsiders, and The Grand Energy Transition, a movie that
makes the case that hydraulic fracking does not harm the environment.

Watch the teaser trailer for America here, and read the Hollywood Reporter article
about the Frederickson announcement here.

I am also so excited to let you know that we have finalized the debate details, and I will
be going head-to-head with Bill Ayers on January 30 at 7:30 PM ET. And the best part?

Meanwhile, ignoring threats of federal-investigations were this story reported, a recap of the
Internet-buzz regarding his [falsified?] "long-form" Birth Certificate [8/4/1961] claims the
eligibility-case is still-alive; az-sheriff joe-arpaio has claimed it is a forgery and note this summary
by RICHARD R. SILVERLIEB, Attorney at Law [354 Eisenhower Parkway, Livingston, NJ 07039]:

1. It states he is "African-American," a term that wasn't used at that time; people
of color were called Negroes.

2. It states his 25-year-old father was Barack Hussein Obama, born in "Kenya, East
Africa," a country that did not exist until 1963, two years after Obama's birth,
and 27 years after his father's birth; prior to 1963, it was known as the "British
East Africa Protectorate."
[Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya].

3. It states he was born at the "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital," an
entity that did not exist until 1978 following merger of "Kapi'olani Maternity
Home" and "Kaui Keolani Children's Hospital.
[Ref: http:www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx].

4. BHOs book states his father fought in WW II, an impossibility because, if he was
25 years-old in 1961, he was born in 1936 and would have been 9 years-old
when the war ended in 1945.

The Obama Girl *Carey Wedler] burned Her Obama Shirt because Mr. Obama, you are the biggest
fraud that has ever been perpetrated on the American people because:


1099

You bailed out bankers and placed them in your cabinet.
You placed Monsanto in charge of your FDA.
You helped out pharmaceutical and health insurance companies with Obamacare.
You expanded Bushs wars and started new ones with drones branding yourself a humanitarian
war monger.
You bragged about crippling sanctions against Iran though they directly affected civilians.
You extended the Patriot Act and asserted your right to spy on the American people.
You asserted your right to detain them without trial.
You seized the authority to assassinate Americans without providing any evidence of their guilt
or offering them due process of law.
You viciously punish journalists and pursue whistleblowers who expose your crimes though you
vowed to protect them when you were running for office.
You arm Al Qaeda insurgents and refused to close Guantanamo, and you along with congress
have criminalized protest.
And still you have the audacity to scold dictators about democracy, protests and freedom.

During his recent appearances in California, Obama Complained to Hollywood Donors of 'Frustration'
and PROJECTED 'POWERLESSNESS; meanwhile, SPIELBERG PRAISED OBAMA'S FAILED 'ATROCITIES
PREVENTION BOARD' as he jetted-off to San Diego for a $10k-Per-Photo Fundraiser.
As BHO only seems to take a break from $-raising to take vacations [and, while-on-
hawaii-vacation, he has lambasted the gop CongressPeople who-went-home-for-the-
holidays and-abandoned-less-fortunate], Pat Sajak noted the benefits associated with
this approach to governance [tweet of December 28, 2013+: Fewer speeches, no press
conferences, fewer decrees. I never thought I'd find someone else's vacation so
relaxing. {Michelle Obama and three of her family members stayed in a $8,350-per-
night Beijing presidential suite but, despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come
with the lodging, her entourage inconvenienced pretty much everyone and made the
hotel staff fed up.- Simply put, Obama abuses taxpayer money as he campaigns,
fundraises, and lives high on the hog all on the taxpayers dime.
The claim that Muslim-Brotherhood-Influence has Reached the White-House has received scrutiny
herein previously, particularly within contexts domestic [muslim-muscle-flexing-in-nyc] and foreign
[german-elections-more-eu-more-islam]; the trenchant concern is that [noting alliances created during
the past half-decade], he said my-administration-is-proud-to-be-your-partner to a muslim-
brotherhood front-group linked-to-terrorism. BHO presumably derived surcease from the fact that the
presumptive 'Million Muslim March' was renamed 'Million American March Against Fear' to connote

Infrequently reported are the implications of his word-choice, most notably when Fort

[Islamic] Terrorism [and triggering provision of key survivor-benefits, such as PTSD-
treatment], BHO maintains this was merely an example of Workplace-Violence,
contradicting Hasan; notwithstanding his 2007 LECTURE ON ISLAM. Indeed, his

and, although this mass murderer was dishonorably discharged, he will get to keep

A number of events just occurred that amplify upon previously-articulated observations; this blast
includes more commentary than is customary, for the points to be made are a bit more speculative
(with hyperlinks that are more supportive than definitive than occurred in prior meta-analyses). This
should be read in-tandem with the blast of a few hours ago, so that the full flavor of what is rapidly
occurring [BHO is finally/rapidly feeling-the-pain] can be appreciated; the enhanced fear of a cornered-
cat must now be strategized, lest a spate of truly-extreme Executive Orders issue. Moreso than
previously, critique is invited of what is to be provided; Americas descent must be reversed ASAP!

The Action-Items that may be derived are oriented towards ensuring friends/family are
apprised of just how far BHO has sunk [himself and the USA], harboring the hope that
people will get it in a fashion that will be irreversible *both with regard to 14 and 16+.
After updating Fascism, trenchant Gun-Control imperatives are explored [emphasizing
the underpinnings of my letter-to-the-editor that was just accepted for publication in
the Annals of Internal Medicine]. Then, the previously-explored Internet-gambit is
reprised to illustrate the profundity of the strategizing BHOs lefties are implementing
[here, challenging the five-freedoms in the First Amendment and segueing into the NSA-
based intrusion upon privacy and equal protection under the lawpretty basic stuff!+.
This ends with follow-up regarding some of the GOPs POTUS-16 candidates and an
extended column by Jonah Goldberg that highlights Wendy Davis [from Texas].

BHO/Dem/Lib-inspired Fascism was manifest again in the media [Brothers Yanked By HGTV: 'If Our Faith
Costs Us Show Then So Be It'...Network 'was bullied'], in academe [jury-rules-north-carolina-university-
violated-conservative-professors-free-speech-rights], and directly by government [Homeland Security
Exercise Targets Online Dissent]. Meanwhile, apologists [not just on MSNBC] have emerged [e.g., How
Republicans Twist Benghazi, c/o The Daily Beast]; because, psychologically, it is known that the flip-side
of feeling-quite-shy is acting-the-bully, it is notable that BHO [in expressing his impotence, for, example,
regarding the Nigerian-girls+ is now claiming to be impotent. This recapitulates the Carter Malaise
Speech while slyly over-generalizing [USA PRESIDENT: AMERICANS HAVE 'LOST FAITH IN
GOVERNMENT], lest he be forced to admit that the electorate is rejecting his deceit [both in word and
indeed]; disapproval of BHO has dropped so much among youth that a High Schooler felt justified to
Refuse to Stand for the Pledge of Allegiance due to anger over NSA Spying.

Nate Silvers latest triad paints a complete picture of what theyre REALLY reading in

The 2
nd
Amendment has been uniquely vital to the backbone of America, even illustrated by reports that
East Ukrainians may have reversed Putins take-over plan by taking-up personal small-arms; note the
nine-things-you-didnt-know-about-the 2
nd
amendment and two videos that [1]depict a trip to a local
gun show [tersely destroying gun-control-arguments], and [2]quote nra-protestors [explaining
problems with gun-control laws]. Then, compare/contrast these cogent arguments with the threat that
if you see-a-shrink, you may lose-your-weapon, for [just for example] a Dem Sheriff Wants an 'Assault
Weapons' Ban and Private Gun Sale Regulations; know also that The SCOTUS refused to accept a case
that could confirm the ability of citizens to carry firearms outside their homes.

The following letter-to-the-editor [composed by moi] is in-press, accepted for
publication *per todays e-mail] in the Annals of Internal Medicine; its implications
extend beyond experiencing the tug-of-war between the 2
nd
Amendment and Gun-
Control. Inherent therein is the concern that scientists say government-agencies-use-
the-peer-review-process-to-squash-dissent. Recall we will bury you threats by Holdren
yesterday and by the EPA-head a few days earlier, and note the reaction thereto by
krauthammer [rejects scientific-agreement over-climate-change, saying im-not-
impressed-by-consensus.+; then appreciate the neatness of the rejoinder by the NIH's
Dr. Francis Collins, who Feels Evolution and Religion are Not Mutually Exclusive [a view
that is consistent with an essay I wrote with Guzzardi a few years ago about intelligent
design for the now-defunct Philadelphia Bulletin, in which I concluded that God
Created Evolution+. Finally, note that, coupled with the suggestion that Omega-3 intake

Comments and Responses

Guns, Suicide, and Homicide

TO THE EDITOR: Because public health research predictably guides a generation of
public policy, it is necessary to scrutinize the political science underlying the paired
systematic review (1) and editorial (2) on gun control. Challenges are detected to
fundamental standards that may compromise an otherwise sound meta-analysis of
available literature. The last sentences of each are revelatory, for Anglemyer and
colleagues review finds restricting *access to a firearm in the home+ may effectively
prevent injury (1) and Hemenways accompanying editorial concludes that obtaining a
firearm not only endangers those living in the home but also imposes substantial costs
on the community (2). Notwithstanding unaddressed Second Amendment constraints,
the authors of both unabashedly campaign to restrict the right to bear arms, thereby
ignoring, for example, the human compulsion to manifest reasonable self-defense.

The intuitive deduction that the availability of a firearm will increase the risk that
momentary depression will yield suicide is consistent with modern lay culture (recalling
the 1945 movie Spellbound) and medical scholarship (recalling an essay published last
year in Annals [3]). Yet, it is undermined by the editorialist, who has argued that the
widespread ownership of firearms in private hands in the United States promotes the
spread of the disease of gun violence (4). He invoked a generalized reference to his
book when claiming There is no association between gun ownership levels and suicide
by means other than guns. These studies have controlled for depression *and+ suicidal

1103

ideation. If true, this assertion would undermine efforts to include scrutiny of mental
health data during any mandated background checks; alas, it is untrue, because profiles
of psychiatric patients at high risk for suicide have been generated (5).

The study by Brent and colleagues was among the articles cited in Anglemyer and
colleagues review (article 26), prompting confusion because it was among 3 articles
cited in the online Appendix that purports to show the disposition of studies excluded
after full-text review along with 2 others (articles 32 and 60) because the study
populations were contained in previously published data included in this review (1).
Noting there are 59 print references and 97 online references, merely counting the
number of citations associated with a particular reason for exclusion yields the
observation that there is an admixture of articles that were included and articles that
were excluded (that is, some were among the references published in print and at least
1 was among those published online only). The authors should have provided a
crosswalk pairing of how one set of data was subsuming another set of myriad peer-
reviewed studies, precluding concern that any undue selectivity existed.

Therefore, author biasseeking the ability to generate the above preordained
outcomecould have clouded how subsidiary observations were drawn regarding, for
example, the allegation of enhanced risk for homicide by a household member.
Adopting a purely academic approach could have yielded insights as to the type of
mental health diagnoses that might predispose to criminal gun use. Indeed, this entire
body of work could then have been compared/contrasted with fatal violence committed
via nonhousehold, unregistered firearms, yielding far more useful insights as to what
societal interventions might be optimal.

I have theorized regarding how BHO plans to extort support for his plan to control/tax the Internet;
rescinding his initial threat to relinquish global control of the internet to the UN would entail being
granted domestic regulatory oversight, and rescinding his initial plan to impose a sales-tax that Could
Crush Small Businesses would mandate payment of annual $75 user-fee [which would be provided by
the Feds for those who are mentally compromised]. This machination may have been triggered when An
Appeals Court struck-down BHOs net-neutrality rules [erasing a central accomplishment of former FCC
Chairman Julius Genachowski]. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the FCCs Open Internet order,
which again attempted to force Net Neutrality on the nation; this Open Internet order was part of a
plan claimed to oppose discrimination but, in practice, would hinder ISPs from charging people for
what bandwidth they use. [The FCC may appeal.+ Thus, BHOs reaction to this set-back was his having
doubled-down on his opposition to the freedom-of-speech inherent in the Internet, for the 9
th
Circuit
has affirmed that Bloggers enjoy First Amendment protections.

Having demonstrably admixed the 1
st
and 2
nd
Amendments, its desirable to develop the
theme of BHOs selective adherence to the Constitution; cass-sunstein-tried-to-explain-
that-the equal-protection-clause doesnt-actually-mean-what-it-says. For example,
Ralph Nader claims this NSA-controversy crosses ideological lines, and Rand Paul
warns that Advanced Technology Makes '1984'-Type Surveillance Possible; meanwhile,
Justice SCALIA suggests TSA GROPING may be UNDERSTANDABLE and NSA SPYING ON
CITIZENS COULD BE GOOD. There appears, ultimately, to be a consensus that Obama is
Worse than Bush on alleged Civil Liberties Abuses.

suggest may prompt Bill to apologize Publicly To Hill; this prompted Ann COULTER to

This recalls Ann Coulters claim seven years ago that Jews should "be perfected," and it
also recalls her affair with Christies Presidential ambitions [that she now has grafted
upon Romney]. This explains why I have tended not to recycle her quotesas much as I

Pop Culture Is Attempting to Rapidly Redefine Chris Christie
This week Bruce Springsteen appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show to sing a song mocking
"Chris Christie's New Jersey Traffic Jam." John Podhoretz notes Chris Christie is now
being redefined in the public's eye through culture, not politics:
On Tuesday night, Jimmy Fallon teamed with Bruce Springsteen on an immensely clever
"Born to Run" takeoff that will probably have 50 million YouTube hits by the time the
2016 election rolls around.
"They shut down the tollbooths of glory 'cause we didn't endorse Chris Christie," Fallon
sang, while Springsteen complained he needed to go to the bathroom but couldn't
because he was caught up in "Governor Chris Christie's Fort Lee, New Jersey, Traffic
Jam."
Yes, Springsteen is a leftist, and yes, this is a classic mainstream-media hit on a
Republican. But to use a term beloved to Internet marketers, the idea behind the video
is "sticky." It will persist . . .
Christie and Sarah Palin have very little in common, to put it mildly, but the moment in
2008 that Palin became the gleeful object of belittling late-night satire, she went from
being a raw political talent Democrats deeply feared to a comic wellspring from which
they drank deeply.
The boss notes that Christie shouldn't be that surprised by the betrayal:
Memo to Chris Christie: They hate you. If you don't know who "they" are, you haven't
been watching the news or reading the papers.
Usually, it takes winning the GOP presidential nomination for a Republican media
darling to experience such an onslaught of gleefully negative press coverage. John
McCain was the straight-talking maverick right up until the moment he effectively
clinched the nomination in 2008 immediately triggering a thinly sourced New York
Times report insinuating an affair with a lobbyist.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has gotten his disillusioning out of the way early, if he
needed it. An occupational hazard of a certain kind of Republican is wanting to be loved

1108

by the wrong people. If the past week hasn't cured Christie of that tendency, nothing
will.
Had Jon Huntsman ever amounted to any threat to Obama, he would have gotten the
same treatment, too. A figure earns the title as "the media's favorite Republican" by 1)
validating liberal Democrat arguments and 2) not presenting any real threat to their
agenda.
Should Governor Christie be exposed as a liar about lane closures, would that be more
serious than the lies the president has told about far more serious matters?

Dear Reader (and those of you who took the red pill),

Last June, when the mainstream media collectively swooned over Wendy Davis and her
shoes, I was overcome with Fremdschmen. The only problem is that I didn't know what
Fremdschmen was back then.

But now I do! It's a floor wax and a dessert topping! No, that's not right. It's my new
favorite German word. What is amazing, to me at least, is that I am only just now
learning of this word, despite having a soft spot (right below my elbow) for fun foreign
words ("I myself am overcome with Backpfeifengesicht right now"). Even more
surprising is that we live in the Golden Age of Fremdschmen,so you'd think more
people would be using it.

So what does it mean? It means feeling embarrassed for someone else. But more than
that, it means feeling embarrassed for someone else because that someone else doesn't
realize he should be embarrassed.

"Fremdschmen describes the almost-horror you feel when you notice that somebody is
oblivious to how embarrassing they truly are," writes Daniel Hawes in Psychology Today.
"Fremdscham [the noun] occurs when someone who should feel embarrassed for
themselves simply is not, and you start feeling embarrassment in their place."

Fremdschmen ber Alles

As Hawes notes, this feeling is the whole conceit behind "mockumentaries" like The
Office and the oeuvres of Larry David and Ricky Gervais. Also, the auditions for American
Idol and all of the related rip-offs are Fremdschmen factories, churning out
Fremdscham like kids in a Brazilian sweatshop cranking out Guy Fawkes masks for rich
white Occupy kids to use in their protests against economic exploitation. (Next time you
see an Urban Outfitter Bolshevik wearing one, you too can experience Fremdschmen).

But the Golden Age of Fremdschmen extends further than that. How many reality
shows are driven by the guilty pleasures that lay in the borderlands between
schadenfreude and Fremdschmen? Watch five minutes of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
and you've watched four minutes and 55 seconds too much. But you will have watched
more than enough to recognize in yourself that weird form of American snobbery that

1110

manifests itself as embarrassment for the lumpen proletariat's refusal to be
embarrassed by its own gaucheness.

Meanwhile, a big part of the reason why carbon-based humanoids like Miley Cyrus and
Lady Gaga generate so much buzz is that they are simply missing the gene that allows
them to be embarrassed for themselves. Of course, Cyrus's fans aren't embarrassed for
her, they love her "incredibly brave" (translation: utterly manufactured and banal)
taboo-breaking. But the fans still feed off Fremdschmen all the same. That's because
people like me are embarrassed for her or, more likely, her fans or her parents. And the
fans misinterpret the good sense of people like me (and many of you) as if it proves just
how rebellious Cyrus is. It's the same with teenagers who put staples through various
parts of their face and dress like they're auditioning to be a vampire's thrall; they think
my pity is proof of their daring social transgression.

Kids have been doing this for millennia. Parents say, "She should be mortified. I feel
horrible for her parents." The kid responds, "You just don't get it!" as if there's a deep
and rich complexity to wearing painted-on clothes and shaking your hindquarters like a
gibbon in heat. It is an eternal story of children insisting they're revolutionaries and
parents insisting, no you're idiots. And what the kids can't grok is that we recognize the
idiocy because we were idiots once too ("Once?" The Couch).

Clinton's Bequest

And then there's politics. I think one of the reasons why people hate politicians so much
these days is that the politicians are outsourcing their embarrassment to us. It's a kind
of passive aggression. A politician does something that in an earlier era would have him
searching his desk for his pearl-handled revolver or, at the very least, calling around to
various monastic orders to see where he could do penance. He lies about it for a while.

Then he is forced to confess. He's embarrassed, but only in the way a character in a
movie should be embarrassed at the end of Act Two. You know Act Three is coming, and
during that part of the story the politician is a changed man who's grateful for his
mistakes because they've helped him grow. Then, all of a sudden, the bad guy is anyone
who can't celebrate the politician's newfound humanity and generosity of spirit.

It all started in earnest with Bill Clinton, of course. The good news is that few politicians
have managed to replicate his performance. (His political performance! I'm quite sure
plenty of politicians have mimicked some of his other performances.) Anthony Weiner,
for instance, tried a comeback recently (as did Eliot Spitzer), but I think there was a
palpable sense of resentment from voters that their public displays of embarrassment
and contrition were of the check-the-box variety. Mea culpa? Check! File to get my
name on the ballot? Check. Now vote for me. The response from a lot of people was,
"You should be more embarrassed for yourself than we are for you. How dare you
expect us to carry the lion's share of your shame?"

Fremdschmen Mdchen

How did I get on all this? Oh right, Wendy Davis.

1111


Last June, when the media was largely ignoring Kermit Gosnell's abattoir, it was fawning
over Wendy Davis with a lack of self-awareness that fired up my Fremdschmen glands
more than watching the infamous lost episode of The Office where Michael Scott
auditions to be a gay porn star. The idiocy about Davis's sneakers alone reached the
point where I was expecting some Dana Bash type to rush onto the set during a
broadcast and scream, "Screw that noise, Wolf! I've got a piece of the One True Shoe!"

It wasn't just the juxtaposition with the media's scandalous reluctance to touch the
Gosnell story. It was full spectrum obliviousness. You could simply feel their confidence
that everyone should love this plucky hero from Texas. Even more palpable was their
certainty that everyone they know feels the same way. MSNBC was a veritable 24-hour
groupthink-cam in which we got to watch bunkered, insular, and smug MSMers assume
everyone shares their pieties and preferences. "Isn't she just fantastic! Who couldn't
love such a pretty lady who's a spiffy dresser in sensible shoes? She went to Harvard!
She's a mom! And what a mom! She's fighting to make sure that women can have their
unborn babies dismembered in utero right up until the minute before delivery! Why, it's
the feel-good story of the year!"

Of course, that's not how they characterized her agenda. They made it all about
"women's health" and their right to make their own medical choices. But as I ranted
about here a while back, these are euphemisms for exactly one -- okay one and a half --
things: abortion and birth control. (Birth control is half a thing because no one on the
right is trying to ban non-abortifacient birth control. Some of us don't want to pay for it,
but I don't want to pay for lots of things I don't want banned. I don't want to pay for
your Blu-ray copy of The Oogieloves, but that doesn't mean I want it outlawed.)

Moreover, these euphemisms are staggeringly hypocritical given the fact they are
spouted by the very same party that is determined to take more and more health-care
decisions away from women and their doctors. From that rant:

"You've got a state legislature up here that sometimes acts like it knows better than
women when it comes to women's own health-care decisions," the president said at a
typical rally in New Hampshire during the last campaign. "You know, my opponent's got
the same approach."

How odd from the eponymous father of Obamacare, which will mandate that women
(and men) pay for insurance coverage they don't need. It will cause many women (and
men) to lose their existing health-care plans. It will empower bureaucrats to decide
what treatments for women (and men) the government will reimburse and which it
won't. Under Obamacare, women who smoke or are overweight can be charged 30
percent to 50 percent more for their health insurance.

These features are defensible from a liberal or statist point of view, but not if you
actually believe that women have a special and unique right to make "health-care
decisions" for themselves wholly unfettered by the government.

A Girl Like Wendy

1112


So it should be no surprise that when I heard the news this week that Wendy Davis isn't
the person the media thought she was, my Fremdschmen gave way to schadenfreude.
How to spin Davis's embellishments is not my problem. It is a problem for the MSM
which for some reason calls to mind The Sound of Music:

How do you solve a problem like Maria Wendy?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Maria Wendy?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!

The funny thing is that the liberal press egged on by their research department at
groups like ThinkProgress was so convinced that its own infatuation was universal it
never occurred to them that a) she might not be as awesome as they thought, b) that
running for governor in Texas on a plank of "late term abortions for everyone!" is really
pretty stupid, and c) that she's not a great politician just because you like her.

The best evidence for this is the fact that she said the one thing the one thing! you
shouldn't say about your wheelchair-bound opponent: "He hasn't walked a day in my
shoes."

I mean, bravo.

It's just a shame she can't run against Helen Keller. "My opponent needs to see the
world through someone else's eyes for a change!" "Ms. Keller refuses to listen to the
voters!"

Still, I never quite understood how her now-moot version of her life story
complemented her fight for late-term abortions. I mean her old tale was about how she
was a single mom who managed to go to Harvard Law School, blah blah blah. Right? So
the lesson was that having kids didn't hold her back. So why would her life story give
moral support for the idea that women need to have late-term abortions? Something
doesn't track there.

But now it turns out that her story is as operative as Anthony Weiner's "My Twitter
account was hacked" tale. The funny thing is the new, more accurate, version of her life
story is more helpful to the pro-choice side. It turns out that it was only because she had
a generous and successful husband that she was able to go to Harvard. And it looks like
she went to Harvard instead of, say, Texas A&M because she was more eager to go
to Harvard than she was to be there for her kids (for the full, devastating, version of her
story see Ann Coulter's column. Mona Charen has a slightly more charitable take).

The honest version of the pro-choice position is that young women shouldn't be, in
Obama's words, "punished with a baby" simply because they make a mistake. Abortion
supporters are absolutely right that having a child is a huge responsibility that can
require enormous sacrifices and can make it particularly hard for single mothers to
advance their careers. The fact that Davis needed a husband to take care of her kids and
send her to law school proves that point. The old story made it sound like being a single

1113

mom is no hindrance to accomplishing all of your life goals which is an argument
you'd expect to hear from a pro-lifer.

Julia Hearts Huckabee

Yesterday Mike Huckabee said something that had the "Wendy Davis for Pope!" crowd
grasping for their fainting couches:

I think it's time for Republicans to no longer accept listening to
Democrats talk about a war on women. Because the fact is, the
Republicans don't have a war on women. They have a war FOR women.
For them to be empowered; to be something other than victims of their
gender. Women I know are outraged that Democrats think that women
are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal
in life is to have a government provide for them birth control
medication. Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of
doing anything anyone else can do. Our party stands for the recognition
of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That's not a war
ON them, it's a war FOR them. And if the Democrats want to insult the
women of America by making them believe that they are helpless
without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription
each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or
their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so
be it, let's take that discussion all across America because women are
far more than Democrats have made them to be. And women across
America have to stand up and say, Enough of that nonsense.

Now, I'll leave it to others to debate whether this was the best way to make this
argument. But I certainly think the shrieks of protest are a sign that it hit pretty close to
the mark. After all, what was the worldview behind the Obama campaign's "Julia"
slideshow other than one in which future Wendy Davises will no longer need a wealthy
husband to provide for them because the government will do it instead?

By the Power of the Constitution, I Cast Thee Out!

My column today is a little different. I originally intended it as a Burke-quote-heavy
philosophical discussion. But I figured that would turn people off. So instead I tried to
make the same point by noting that the Constitution offers little help in the fight against
Satan.

The underlying point however is a very serious one that I think conservatives need to
noodle. On the right these days the one guaranteed way to win any argument is to be
even more absolute about "core principles" than the other guy. The interesting thing
about the phrase "core principles" is that it suggests our principles lie at the core of
something. Cores only exist in the presence of stuff outside the core, that's how the
core gets its definition. While there's a lot to like about the return to core principles, it's
worth considering that it is a kind of retreat, a fall-back position because our frontier
and intermediary defenses have been overrun. Core principles are all we've got left.

1114

Edmund Burke had principles, but he didn't think principles were the most important
thing. Customs, traditions, wisdom i.e. the subtle ability to recognize the trade-offs
between competing goods and, yes, competing principles were far more important.
The deeper point of my column is that we've lost the ability to draw on that social
capital of custom and wisdom in ways that connect with the whole country. The moral
and cultural consensus has disintegrated, leaving our core exposed. I think something
very similar is happening on the left. More and more they talk about how America can
be run like a 1950s Scandinavian country, even though we have nothing like the social
cohesion and consensus of even contemporary Sweden (which has been moving away
from the Swedish model for years). The resort to universal principles is in many ways a
last resort. I still love conservative principles and I'm glad we're clinging to them, I just
wish we had more things to cling to as well.

I leave tomorrow for the Ricochet-palooza at USC this weekend. There's still time to get
tickets.

Oh, I've decided that there isn't enough serious stuff in the Various & Sundry section of
this "news"letter. But don't worry, it won't come at the expense of the silly stuff. That's
the great thing about the Internet: There are always more pixels.

Subject: Action-Items CXIX [Overall-Foreign-Policy]

http://www.scribd.com/doc/223268631/Action-Items-CXIX-Overall-Foreign-Policy

To re-cap, the focus of the last blast e-mail was trained on BHOs profoundly disruptive manifestations
of Liberal Fascism *quoting Jonah Goldbergs book+, primarily from the perspective of domestic policy;
the specific focus on gun-control vs. the Second Amendmenthighlighted by my just-OKed letter-to-
the-editor of the Annals of Internal Medicineillustrated the level to which academe has been infested
by those peddling self-fulfilling left-wing prophesies. [The online process of completing a form
disclaiming any conflict-of-interest was fascinating.] Also, in follow-up on this issue, as ARIANNA
HUFFINGTONS MOTHERS DAY WISH is for MORE GUN CONTROL, it seems the SAFE Act [c/o NY-
Governor Andrew Cuomo (D)] Proves 'Assault Weapons' Are Just Rifles by Another Name, for the
moniker "assault weapons" is a cosmetically-based description applied to an entire class of firearms that
gun control proponents want to demonize. {In follow-up of the Dems Gubernatorial candidate in Texas,
Austin Young Republicans Protested Wendy Davis Over Ethics.}

Yet, candidly, I feel a bit guilty not having delved into Foreign Policy concerns for awhile
because, although predictable, they carry their own insights that are mutually exclusive
of BHOs having repeatedly trashed the Constitution. For example, although BHOs overt
pressure on BB [to sign-off on territorial-capitulation] has abated, the insidious
persistence of the covert variety not only illustrates the profundity of the US/Israel
schism [for, at this point, there is no turning-back], but it threatens to become
increasingly pungent as Americas global failures accumulate. If he feels as if hes an
unjustly-cornered yet still-ferocious feline, BHO [and Kerry] could transform ambient
levels of personal frustration and dangerous uncertainty [stemming from unambiguous
exposure of paradigm-flaws and consequent ego-damage] into heightened bombast
that would necessitate [inter alia] rebellion by Congressional-Dems to restrain his
ideological-pacifism. {If ever there was a better time, consult for inspiration [from
Shalom Aleichems Tevye to Nahman Lichtenstein]: Jews, tradition, history & quotes.}

I have amply proven that it is simply impossible to drive a wedge between BHOs actions and the
underlying philosophy of Dems/Libs regarding domestic/social policies; now, compounding these fatal-
flaws are multiple articles depicting BHOs vacuousness *obamas-foreign-policy to nowhere, great-
dismal-swamp of us-foreign-policy+, Kerrys aloofness amidst growing recognition that the emperor
wears no clothes *strange-moral-calculus-of-john-kerry] and, with regard to the Middle East, Martin
Indyks consequent blind-spots and tactical failures. All of these damages are derived from a fatally-
flawed world-view that BHOs minions incessantly reformulate [ la input of progressives such as
Podesta]Progressive Bloggers who are Doing White House's Job, for this administration enjoys an
unprecedented advantage, a partisan media that has its back, minute-by-minuteand, thus, it is
necessary to probe and to articulate all that his stubbornness has wrought, in as much of an
abbreviative fashion as is possible. This intransigence was illustrated when ABC's Jon Karl inquired, 'Is
There Anyone the President Wouldn't Shake Hands With?' after it was alleged that there had been
'Quiet Diplomacy' Between U.S. and Cuba for the prior Six Months when GOP Rep Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
Grilled John Kerry On Castro Handshake. {And, lest we forget, the-dud-at-dod, chuck-hagel, proves-
critics-right, as he presides over a diminishing military (U.S. less important, less powerful, Americans say
& F-35 Delay to Harm U.S. Warfighting Ability and us-put-china-made-parts-in-f-35-fighter-program),
even as a Drone Armed With Taser Eyed By Military, Law Enforcement.}

Im not in a position to divine all the reasons for the perpetuation/exacerbation of these
errors, but they are probably both generic [ideological] and specific for the Dem-players
[john-kerry-revealed daughter married iranian-american with extensive ties to iran].
Also, none of this has anything to do with yesterdays actors who seek re-empowerment
[Sarkozy: My return is destiny & Berlusconi threatens 'revolution' if jailed & Former
Italian premier [Silvio Berlusconi] beings his community service work], nor is it easily
explained solely by resurgent anti-Semitism [romanian-state-tv airs christmas-carol
about-burning-jews+. But it is indubitably evil for BHO/Kerry/et al. to play into the
bombast emanating from Russia and Iran [iran & russia-boost-ties], regardless of what
may be occurring elsewhere in the world: Early Returns: Right Bloc Win Norway
Election; Clinton Global Initiative Tied to Romanian Economic Criminal; icelanders-
overthrow-government-and-rewrite-constitution-after-banking-fraud, but there is no-

ample warnings of Putins plans, as he counters demographic challenges *2%-of-russias-potential-

Iran?post_id=1448468906_10203876858069037#_=_

Now that Guzzardi isnt running and my two publications have appeared *Kurdistan & Gun-Control],
there remains a smattering of loco-regional/statewide news of-interest [her words on sting could haunt
AG-Kane?, Last of S. Philly's rowhouse synagogues being preserved, Applaud Eagles for unique draft
strategy]. Thus, the major action-item that re-emerges is the need not only to lambaste BHO, but also to
be wary if Biden becomes POTUS *following BHOs putative resignation+; this isnt far-fetched, for
rationalizations to deny the import of BenghaziGate among Dems appear to have transcended
desperation, and even BHO is conveying a sense of impotence *even as he continues to act imperially+.
This blast e-mail is focused on these concerns, along with providing a spate of additional articles about
how much info has been willfully ignored by BHO and his apologists regarding Iran; extended-quotes are
intended to emphasize analyses that are behind the headlines that customary are dominant herein.

Although the glut of new material usually precludes repetition in these blast e-mails,
recapping the essence of the problem BHO faces, as he now lawyers-up, is desirable:

Benghazi-Gate is hot, with the issues having been broken-down into five components:
[1]Why were the CIA personnel @ the Annex *Iran-Contra violation?+?; *2+Why
didnt Hillary provide more security or evacuate?; *3+Why wasnt a military response
launched?; [4]How did the idea of a video arise?; and [5]Why wasnt the Rhodes-
memo released to Congress in 13? Of-interest is the fact that Eileen McCann [Mrs. Dick
Morris] discovered that, 36 Hours Before Rhodes Email, Hillary Used the IDENTICAL
Cover-Up Script; other facet of the scandal have been elucidated [2
nd
Set Of Benghazi
Talking Points; Republican Presidential Candidates Usually Lose Before They Win;
Benghazi Subpoena Scandal; and Benghazi: Everybody's Following The Wrong Talking
Points. Morris theorized that Hillary initiated the idea of blaming the video, and it is
anticipated that discovery of the security-briefing provided during that entire week will
confirm the fact that there WAS evidence [almost immediately] that this has been a
planned military assault [despite Presser-Carneys absolute denial that there was any
evidence of any etiology other than the video+.

Ponder this example of the lameness of the Dem/Lib defense: ELEANOR CLIFT: CHRIS
STEVENS NOT MURDERED, DIED OF SMOKE INHALATION; BLAMES YOUTUBE VIDEO.

Although some claim the Benghazi Select Committee should be perceived as 'Very Dangerous Political
Waters' for the GOP [recalling, for example, the Clinton impeachment], the sequence-of-events during
recent days suggests the Dems are in disarray:

Boehner Announces House Members of Select Benghazi Committee
Supercut Video: Trey Gowdy Fights for Truth in Benghazi Investigation
Pelosi Calls Gowdy's Remarks on Benghazi 'Circus-Like'
Jay Carney: Benghazi Committee 'Blatantly Political and Partisan'
Pelosi: People Are Tired of Benghazi

1126

'Grumpy' Nancy Pelosi Not Happy With Democrats Who Supported Benghazi Panel
DEMOCRATS NOT SURE THEY'LL PARTICIPATE IN BENGHAZI SELECT COMMITTEE
Dem Rep: GOP 'Using Death of Ambassador' for Sham Benghazi Committee

Recalling that Presser-Carney repeatedly said *initially/throughout+ that there was NO evidence of
anything other than the video, ponder how he will evade recognition of an explosive intelligence report
concluding that officials knew it was a terrorist attack that killed four Americans on September 11, 2012,
that they knew right away, and that the lapse in security was preventable, based on intelligence the U.S.
already had about the area. ,My training in having been a Watergate-freak prompts me to conclude
as have many othersthat this set of scandals [and their ripple-effects] will be found to be is far worse
[in terms of fanciful-ideology; malice-aforethought, and relentless-implementation.] In lieu of being able
to hear Oval-Office Tapes, an e-mail paper-trail will be buttressed by testimony from any of the dozens
of CIA-agents who were @ the Annex [and whom BHO has scattered around the globe to minimize the
risk they would suddenly appear in a D.C. Hearing Room].} Also, one wonders if BHO can keep the video-
guy silent forever [Nakoula-Scapegoat-Nakoula-Weighs-In-From-His-Halfway-House], although one can
imagine that an Islamist could be recruited to eliminate this risk; what he just said is instructive.

Certainly, uncertainties persist [Is the fact that Schumer logged into the White House at
5:30 p.m. on the evening of Sept. 11, 2012 and logged out at 11:59 p.m. indicative of the
possibility BHO was AWOL because he was engaged in debate-prep?+, but its clear that
BHO has relentlessly rewarded [Victoria Nuland Confirmed as Chief U.S. Envoy for
Europe Without GOP Objection] those who have helped him engage in the cover-up [the
video], the cover-up of the cover-up [the delayed release of the Rhodes memo] and the
cover-up of the cover-up of the cover-up [per Eileen, the necessary existence of more
suppressed e-mails].

The complacent/compliant media have also been impugned by Peggy Noonan ['Voxsplains' Media's
Motives for Joining Obama's Benghazi Cover-Up], to wit: Now the media is in a deep dark hole and as
desperate to protect themselves as they are Obama and Hillary. The fabricated two-year myth that
pretends Benghazi and the ensuing White House cover-up are all part of a partisan nothingburger, must
survive. So much is at stake for the media: their need to lie to themselves, the hope of another Clinton
presidency, and the legacy of Obama, who they assured us was up for the job.

Exemplifying efforts of the media to rehab themselves is this essay [Seven
lessons Tommy Vietor taught us] based on the unbelievably enlightening interview he
inexplicably provided to FNCwhich merits repeat-viewing, if only because of the overt-
conflicts between simple-declarative-sentences therein and sworn testimony of others.

In any case, when Tommy *who recalls Eddie Haskell of Leave it to Beaver fame+ said that they were
able to invoke the videos impact on worldwide demonstrations due to newspaper reports, he was
both ignoring intelligence and perhaps presaging what was published subsequently; note the content
and import, for example, of this mis-step by BHOs Grey Lady *c/o Caroline Glick, annotated]:

The New York Times just delivered a mortal blow to the Obama administration and its
Middle East policy.

Call it fratricide. It was clearly unintentional. Indeed, is far from clear that the paper
even realizes what it has done.

1127


Last Saturday the Times published an 8,000 word account by David Kirkpatrick detailing
the terrorist strike against the US consulate and the CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya on
September 11, 2012. In it, Kirkpatrick tore to shreds the foundations of President Barack
Obamas counter-terrorism strategy and his overall policy in the Middle East.

Obama first enunciated those foundations in his June 4, 2009 speech to the Muslim
world at Cairo University. Ever since, they have been the rationale behind US counter-
terror strategy and US Middle East policy.

Obamas first assertion is that radical Islam is not inherently hostile to the US. As a
consequence, America can appease radical Islamists. Moreover, once radical Muslims
are appeased, they will become US allies, (replacing the allies the US abandons to
appease the radical Muslims).

Obamas second strategic guidepost is his claim that the only Islamic group that is a
bona fide terrorist organization is the faction of al Qaida directly subordinate to Osama
bin Ladens successor Ayman al-Zawahiri. Only this group cannot be appeased and must
be destroyed through force.

The administration has dubbed the Zawahiri faction of al Qaida core al Qaida. And
anyone who operates in the name of al Qaida, or any other group, that does not have
courtroom certified operational links to Zawahiri, is not really al Qaida, and therefore,
not really a terrorist group or a US enemy.

These foundations have led the US to negotiate with the Taliban in Afghanistan. They
are the rationale for the USs embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood worldwide. They are
the basis for Obamas allegiance to Turkeys Islamist government, and his early support
for the Muslim Brotherhood dominated Syrian opposition.

They are the basis for the administrations kneejerk support for the PLO against Israel.

Obamas insistent bid to appease Iran, and so enable the mullocracy to complete its
nuclear weapons program is similarly a product of his strategic assumptions. So too, the
USs current diplomatic engagement of Hezbollah in Lebanon owes to the
administrations conviction that any terror group not directly connected to Zawahiri is a
potential US ally.

From the outset of the 2011 revolt against the regime of Muammar Qaddafi in Libya,
it was clear that a significant part of the opposition was comprised of jihadists aligned
if not affiliated with al Qaida. Benghazi was specifically identified by documents seized
by US forces in Iraq as a hotbed of al Qaida recruitment.

Obama and his advisors dismissed and ignored the evidence. The core of al Qaida,
they claimed was not involved in the anti-Qaddafi revolt. And to the extent jihadists
were fighting Qaddafi, they were doing so as allies of the US.


1128

In other words, the two core foundations of Obamas understanding of terrorism and
of the Muslim world were central to US support for the overthrow of Muammar
Qaddafi. With Kirkpatricks report, the Times exposed the utter falsity of both.

Kirkpatrick showed the mindset of the US-supported rebels and through it, the
ridiculousness of the administrations belief that you cant be a terrorist if you arent
directly subordinate to Zawahiri.

One US-supported Islamist militia commander recalled to him that at the outset of the
anti-Qaddafi rebellion, Teenagers came running around*asking+ Sheikh, sheikh, did
you know al Qaida? Did you know Osama bin Laden? How do we fight?

In the days and weeks following the September 11, 2012 attack on the US installations
in Benghazi in which US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and four {three} other
Americans were killed, the administration claimed that the attacks were not carried out
by terrorists. Rather they were the unfortunate consequence of a spontaneous protest
of otherwise innocent Libyans.

According to the administrations version of events, these guileless, otherwise friendly
demonstrators, who killed the US ambassador and four {three} other Americans, were
simply angered by a YouTube video of a movie trailer which jihadist clerics in Egypt
had proclaimed was blasphemous.

In an attempt to appease the mob after the fact, Obama and then secretary of state
Hillary Clinton were filmed in commercials run on Pakistani television apologizing for the
video and siding with the mob against the movie maker, who to date is the only person
the US has imprisoned following the attack. Then ambassador to the UN and current
National Security Advisor Susan Rice gave multiple television interviews placing the
blame for the attacks on the video.

According to Kirkpatricks account of the assault against the US installations in
Benghazi on September 11, 2012, the administrations description of the assaults was
a fabrication. Far from spontaneous political protests spurred by rage at a YouTube
video, the attack was premeditated. US officials spotted Libyans conducting
surveillance of the consulate nearly 15 hours before the attack began.

Libyan militia warned US officials of rising threats against Americans from extremists
in Benghazi, two days before the attack.

From his account, the initial attack in which the consulate was first stormed was
carried out not by a mob, but by a few dozen fighters. They were armed with assault
rifles. They acted in a coordinated, professional manner with apparent awareness of
US security procedures.

During the initial assault, the attackers shot down the lights around the compound,
stormed the gates, and then swarmed around the security personnel that ran to get
their weapons, making it impossible for them to defend the ambassador and other
personnel trapped inside.

1129


According to Kirkpatrick, after the initial attack, the organizers spurred popular rage
and incited a mob assault on the consulate by spreading the rumor that the Americans
had killed a local. Others members of the secondary mob, Kirkpatrick claimed were
motivated by reports of the video.

This mob assault, which followed the initial attack and apparent takeover of the
consulate, was part of the predetermined plan. The organizers wanted to produce
chaos. As Kirkpatrick explained, The attackers had posted sentries at Venezia Road,
adjacent to the [consulate] compound, to guard their rear flank, but they let pass
anyone trying to join the mayhem.

According to Kirkpatrick, the attack was perpetrated by local terrorist groups that
were part of the US-backed anti-Qaddafi coalition. The people who were conducting
the surveillance of the consulate 15 hours before the attack were uniformed security
forces who escaped in an official car. Members of the militia tasked with defending
the compound participated in the attack.

Ambassador Stevens himself, who had served as the administrations emissary to the
rebels during the insurrection against Qaddafi knew personally many of the terrorists
who orchestrated the attack. And until the very end, he was himself taken in by the
administrations core belief that it was possible to appease al Qaida-sympathizing
Islamic jihadists who were not directly affiliated with Zawahiri.

As Kirkpatrick noted, Stevens helped shape the Obama administrations conviction that
it could world with the rebels, even those previously hostile to the West, to build a
friendly, democratic government.

The entire US view that local militias, regardless of their anti-American, jihadist
ideologies could become US allies was predicated not merely on the belief that they
could be appeased, but that they werent terrorists because they werent al Qaida
proper.

As Kirkpatrick notes, American intelligence efforts in Libya concentrated on the
agendas of the biggest militia leaders and the handful of Libyans with suspected ties to
al Qaida. The fixation on al Qaida might have distracted experts from more imminent
threats.

But again, the only reason that the intelligence failed to notice the threats emanating
from local US-supported terrorists is because the US counter-terrorist strategy, like its
overall Middle East strategy is to seek to appease all US enemies other than the parts
of al Qaida directly commanded by Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Distressingly, most of the discussion spurred by Kirkpatricks article has ignored the
devastating blow he visited on the intellectual foundations of Obamas foreign policy.
Instead, the discussion has focused on his claim that there is no evidence that al Qaida
or other international terrorist group had any role in the assault, and on his assertion
that the YouTube video did spur to action some of the participants in the assault.

1130


Kirkpatricks claim that al Qaida played no role in the attack was refuted by
theTimes own reporting six weeks after the attack. It has also been refuted by
Congressional and State Department investigations, by the UN and by a raft of other
reporting.

His claim that the YouTube video did spur some of the attackers to action was
categorically rejected last spring in sworn Congressional testimony by then deputy chief
of the US mission to Libya Gregory Hicks.

Last May Hicks stated, The YouTube video was a non-event in Libya. The video was
not instigative of anything that was going on in Libya. We saw no demonstrators
related to the video anywhere in Libya.

The reason the Kirkpatricks larger message that the reasoning behind Obamas entire
counter-terrorist strategy and his overall Middle East policy is totally wrong, and deeply
destructive has been missed is because his article was written and published to
whitewash the administrations deliberate mischaracterization of the events in
Benghazi, not to discredit the rationale behind its Middle East policy and counter-
terrorism strategy. This is why he claimed that al Qaida wasnt involved in the attack.
And this is why he claimed that the YouTube video was a cause for the attack.

This much was made clear in a blog post by editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal who
alleged that the entire discourse on Benghazi is promoted by the Republicans to harm
the Democrats, and Kirkpatricks story served to weaken the Republican arguments. In
Rosenthals words, The Republicans hope to tarnish Democratic candidates by making
it seem as though Mr. Obama doesnt take al Qaida seriously.

So pathetically, in a bid to defend Obama and Clinton and the rest of the Democrats,
the Times published a report that showed that Obamas laser like focus on the Zawahiri-
controlled faction of al Qaida has endangered the US.

By failing to view as enemies any other terror groups even if they have participated
in attacks against the US and indeed, in perceiving them as potential allies, Obama
has failed to defend against them. Indeed, by wooing them as future allies, Obama
has empowered forces as committed as al Qaida to defeating the US.

Again, it is not at all apparent that the Times realized what it was doing. But from Israel
to Egypt, to Iran to Libya to Lebanon, it is absolutely clear that Obama and his colleagues
continue to implement the same dangerous, destructive agenda that defeated the US in
Benghazi and will continue to cause US defeat after US defeat.

The massive database regarding Bidens crazy-uncle-in-the-attic image belies his still coveting the job
of POTUS; Biden Delivered an 'Elizabeth Warren-Type Speech' at a Fundraiser although BIDEN FIBBED
AGAIN ABOUT PLAYING COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Perhaps the most startling insights about how BHO has
perceived his performance [contrasted with his adoration of Hillary, which is now easier to appreciate in
light of BenghaziGate revelations] emerged from a book published by Robert Gates [noting that he also
attacked BHO in a fashion that is consistent with sequelae manifest in Benghazi-Gate]:

Gates writes that, unlike Bush, Obama lacked "passion, especially when it came to the
two wars."
"I worked for Obama longer than Bush and I never saw his eyes well
up," Gates writes. "The only military matter, apart from leaks, about
which I ever sensed deep passion on his part was 'Don't Ask, Don't
Tell,'" the law prohibiting gays from serving openly in the military that
Obama successfully pushed to repeal.

GATES, REID SQUABBLE OVER NEW BOOK - Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates
fired back at Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday night, quipping that 'it's
common practice on the Hill to vote on bills you haven't read, and it's perfectly clear
Sen. Reid has not read the book.' Reid faulted Gates's book in an interview with The
Associated Press earlier in the day, charging Gates had denigrated him, Vice President
Joe Biden and others 'just to make a buck.' But Gates said he plans to donate most of
what he makes to charities that work with wounded troops, and encouraged Reid and
others to actually read his new memoir."

Gates book is heavily cited in a discussion of *and comment regarding+ der Amerikanisher Juden
Frage (American Jewish Question of anti-Semitic 'dual loyalties'); the opener is a bit scatter-shot, but
the conclusion is illustrative of an aphorism-augmentation *Israel lives in a hostile world, not just
neighborhood+ which, c/o BHO, increasingly encompasses America:


1132

As to this Jerusalem Post report, about the President and Secretary of State complaining
about IsraeIi cabinet members and some "American Jews" criticizing them, I have a one
word reply: "tough." If you can't stand the heat in the political diplomatic kitchen then
take a hike. [Rumor has it that Obama was bored as a US Senator-he served for less than
one term- so he decided to up and run for the highest office in the land because he
could deliver bupkiss, slogans like- "hope and change" and get elected on the platform
of anyone but Bush.] Neither he nor Kerry supports Jews defending their hard won
sovereignty against people who would destroy it.

Yesterday, we saw clear evidence of that with the World Economic Forum interview by
Fareed Zakaria of CNN of Iranian President Rouhani saying he would neither destroy
15,000 centrifuges nor stop building or swap plutonium producing heavy water reactors
at Arak for energy producing light water ones, telling the West that sanctions were
illegal. The Obama White in reply says that was for domestic consumption. Touhani's
CNN interview was a deliberate poke in the eyes of the P5+1 and the denizens of the
West Wing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

To warn American Jews they better not defend their Jewish cousins in Israel from this
threat was both dangerous and a blatant display of ingratitude towards an ally
protecting our assets in the Middle East. Some thanks for Shin Bet saving Amb. Dan
Shapiro and his striped pants and skirts brigade in Tel Aviv at the US Embassy and the
Jerusalem conference center from Al Qaeda attacks orchestrated by Ayman al-
Zawahiri's local mastermind in Gaza. Even peace mongering nonagenarian Israeli
President Peres is now calling for a boycott of Iran. Perhaps a special tribute might be
played out by Members of Congress concerned about these White House follies, both
domestic and foreign. They could politely sit on their hands and not applaud at the
President's State of the Union Address next Tuesday, the 28th. A visual rebuke captured
on national and international TV. The more courageous among US Senate members in
the audience of the Joint Session could immediately take up the Nuclear Weapons Free
Iran Act, S. 1881 and pass it resoundingly next Wednesday.

Now, after this episode we can understand former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates'
criticism of the mind numbing political apparatchiks in the West Wing inner circle in his
memoir, Duty. Gates has been unfairly maligned by the liberal media megaphones for
betraying his trust with the Obama team while Secretary of Defense. Here is the New
York Times praiseworthy review "In Command" of Gates' memoir Duty by Thomas Ricks
from the recent Sunday Book Review supplement. Note Ricks' conclusion:

But Gates is doing far more than just scoring points in this revealing
volume. The key to reading it is understanding that he was profoundly
affected by his role in sending American soldiers overseas to fight and
be killed or maimed. During his four years as defense secretary, he
states twice, he wept almost every night as he signed letters of
condolence and then lay in bed and meditated on the dead and
wounded. He was angry and disappointed with White House officials
and members of Congress who appeared to him to put political gain
ahead of the interests of American soldiers. Fittingly, he concludes the
book by revealing that he has requested to be buried in Section 60 of

1133

Arlington National Cemetery, the resting place of many of those we lost
in Iraq and Afghanistan.

protecting American lives and interests? Or is it just protecting his political legacy. For a

far less of a black mark than being a President who went to war.
OBAMA'S URGES SENATE DEMS TO PUT OFF IRAN SANCTIONS - President Barack Obama
implored Democratic senators Wednesday to put off new sanctions against Iran that he
warned could derail delicate nuclear talks. A six-month deal between Iran and world
powers takes effect next week, but prominent senators in both parties have balked at
the deal and want even tougher sanctions. Two senators who attended the meeting said
Democrats present seemed receptive to Obama's appeal - even some hawkish
Democrats who have vocally advocated for moving ahead with new sanctions. That

Finally, it is instructive to recall the ongoing dynamic between BHOs conceptualization of the Middle
East as being centered upon the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, vs. BBs concerns
regarding Iran; this conflict was out-in-the-open when the two sat in easy-chairs, exchanging comments,
an event that many view as the only time BHO was publicly dressed-down [in his presence, no less!].
This was revisited in a strategically-staged Goldberg-Obama Interview on the eve of BBs visit to the U.S.

Goldberg, who has been interviewing Obama on the subject of Israel for seven years,
said that several years ago Obama thought Netanyahu would leave the stage. But
"Obama's thinking about [Netanyahu] has shifted to a remarkable degree, not about his
politics, but about his staying power." {BHO has been doing everything with his power
to push-out BB, alas, in-vain, attempting to emulate Clintons success in this regard,
shortly before Camp David II.}

Goldberg described the dynamics between Secretary of State John Kerry and Obama as
a "good cop, bad cop" approach t propel the peace talks to the framework agreement.
He described Kerry's approach, which has been to note down all of Netanyahu's
concerns and try to resolve them one by one. Goldberg also saw the harsher comments
from the U.S. as a way to signal to the PA that Israel is also under pressure to make the
deal, and that the U.S. is not simply taking Israel's side.

Goldberg said that after backtracking on his "red line" for using military force in Syria,
Obama's threats to use military force against Iran are now being seen as toothless. He
said that even "our Arab allies don't really believe Obama would ever use force."

Subject: Action-Items CXXI [Politics, emphasizing-GOP]

http://www.scribd.com/doc/223478204/Action-Items-CXXI-Politics-emphasizing-GOP

The key-points regarding foreign policy were discussed rather intensely with two intelligent Dem/Libs
and, basically, BHOs abject failures in this realm were conceded; one individual scoffed at Benghazi-
Gate hearings, claiming this could supplant concern regarding the economy, whereas the other
appeared fascinated. Ultimately, if the latter forces BHO to reconsider his assumptions regarding the
former, it is possible the world wont have turned completely against America by 1/20/2017. To the
argument that Congress should focus upon unfinished-business, I claimed it can multitask; to the
argument Congress should pass amnesty, I claimed rule-of-law should trump the claim Illegals do work
Americans dont do. *Specifically, to the argument conservative Hispanics would vote with the GOP, I
claimed surveys suggest otherwiseand look how long Jews have reflexly voted for FDR.+ I agreed
social-issues are determinative for some loyal-Dems, but the fact that the GOPs platform just
supplanted personhood with an abortion-ban starting @ 20-weeks [end of 2
nd
trimester, when fetus
might experience pain+ represented a loosening of the absoluteness of its prior [untenable] position.
{For a summary of what prompts 60% of Americans to feel Benghazi-Gate requires further exploration,
note The world of Benghazi believers.}

Therefore, its desirable to focus on pure-politics, if only to follow-up on the
follies/prospects experienced in a bipartisan fashion; for example, those who ponder
POTUS-16 aspirations of Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie must appreciate how the
mighty may fall, as BIDEN TOOK SHOT AT CLINTONS IN SC. On the GOP-side, Republicans
Moved to Limit Number of Presidential Debates and RNC'S SPICER said BREITBART and
OTHER CONSERVATIVE OUTLETS SHOULD HAVE ROLE IN GOP DEBATES; regarding the
B-list, Rubio is agitating [I'M READY TO BE PRESIDENT and GIVES HILLARY AN 'F';
Humans Not Causing 'Climate Change'; Dems threaten American dream; rubio-slammed
charlie-crist-over-gop-racism-remark; and Recovering from immigration setback], Ohio
Gov. John Kasich may be positioning [although some feel he will have to rectify alleged
Lies About Obamacare and Common Core], and Pence is supposedly being recruited, as
His Common Core 'Deception' Looms [noting that Grassroots Common Core Opponents
Won in Indiana House Primaries]. Of greater import is the claim that GOP leaders are
warming to Ron Paul, despite the fact that his claim that the Focus on Voter ID Is
Offensive to Blacks fails to deal with documented voter-fraud [Over 35,000 Cases of
Double Voting Found in North Carolina & Historic Settlement Reached with Ohio in
Lawsuit over Clean Voter Rolls] and he still must answer to the danger posed by his
fanciful neo-isolationism [Rand Paul: Nuclear Iran Not a Threat to U.S. or Israel]. {Again,
my favorites are Cruz/Walkerin whatever orderfor reasons aforementioned.}

It may be recalled that, in the wake of victories by GOP-Establishment candidates in North Carolina and
efforts by Boehner Allies to Take Out Justin Amash, Palin warned them [including the Chamber of
Commerce] that they should 'Knock Off the Gloating' [perhaps knowing of what is transpiring in OK, GA,
and Nebraska; illustrative of why she is correct [both with regard to the overall message of discounting
hubris and the specifics of each race], note that the TEA PARTY CANDIDATE SURGED TO A 14-POINT
LEAD IN NEBRASKA, aided by the Mike Lee Spot for Ben Sasse which is Blanketing Airwaves, claims that
MITCH MCCONNELL OWNS SHANE OSBORN, the MASSIVE AD BUY HITTING SEN CANDIDATE FOR

1138

VOWING TO RAISE DEBT, and the fact that Conservatives are Scrutinizing Dinsdale's Record in NE. {Also,
Sasse and Osborn Debated Immigration at the end of Nebraska's rough-and-tumble primary.}

Did North Carolina Finish the Tea Party? NO; the lessons learned are that good
candidates beat bad candidates while indifferent ones are always vulnerable to upset,
and that obits about the Tea Party are premature. *The Tea Partys influence is not so
much in its ability to generate candidates whose sole purpose is to knock off established
Republicans, but in influencing the party to remain true to its principles on taxing and
spending.] Dems may claim gop-hoof-in-mouth-outbreak-helps-dems and pundits like
Cokie Roberts yelp that, in Some States, GOP 'Yahoos' Will Win; nevertheless, it seems
the national party is stronger operationally [Google exec boosts GOP data effort] and
fiscally [RNC beats DNC cash haul again], as the RNC defers State Parties and Ads to
Others. {Also noted: Boehner said on Tonight Show: I dont want to be president.}

chuck-schumer-says-democrats-can-win-tea-party-voters-over; his PLAN FOR BEATING THE TEA PARTY IS
MORE GOVERNMENT, and he has vowed to-destroy-tea-party-by-exploiting-its-fundamental-weakness
[by driving a wedge between its rich funders and its blue-collar rank and file]. Conveniently forgotten
are persistent-negatives of ObamaDontCare [$474,000,000 Spent on 4 Busted Obamacare Exchanges,
74% of Obamacare 'enrollees' already had insurance, 20 Million More Healthcare Plans to be Cancelled
Due to Obamacare and CNN Poll: Only 12% call Obamacare a success]. {Indeed, splits are now emerging
among Dems, particularly noting how Labor wants the Keystone-XL; for example, CLINTON OPERATIVE
CALLS OBAMA ADMIN 'NUMBSKULLS' FOR TEAMING WITH WALMART.}

Byron York said Obama opened door for GOP - Which is causing more problems in the
economy? The policies of the past? Or the policies of the present? When Winston
asked the question in November 2012, 53 percent of those surveyed said the policies of
the past were causing more problems, and 44 percent said the policies of the present.
When Winston asked the same question not too long ago, in November 2013, 41
percent said the policies of the past, and 49 percent said the policies of the present.
Thus, finally, it appears Bush-bashing wont resonate among the electorate. ,Also noted
is the fact that messages such as this are disseminated by FreedomWorks Foundation,
which was Awarded the Top Charity Navigator Rating for Financial Health,
Accountability, and Transparency; an industry-leading 90.39% of the organizations total
revenue went directly into grassroots programs and campaigns in 2012.}

It is often wise to recall the basic tenets of the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement, noting
particularly the reaction it triggered among Dems [e.g.,10% of 'tea party' donors audited by IRS] and
how it seems to be conducting business-as-usual [more than $1 million in cash bonuses was awarded to
1,100 IRS employees with federal tax compliance problems and $2.8 million in monetary awards was
given to 2,900 employees with recent conduct issues resulting in disciplinary action]. It is always
attempting to help the GOP recall what Actor and NFL Legend Fred Dryer has emphasized: the GOP Is a
Center-Left Party unless it is constantly reminded of its original moorings. For example, Corbetts latest
ad [Promise Kept+ claims his achievement has been to have decreased taxes, despite his pledge during
a Pittsburgh Debate to disclaim any interest in raising taxes or fees; on the national level, funding the
farm bill reflected the same lack of fiscal constraint and the GOP surrendered on debt ceiling, events
that prompted eric-cantor to get a-tea-party-challenger. ,On the positive side of the ledger, The House
of Representatives on Friday overwhelmingly approved permanent tax relief for companies engaged in
research and development, despite a warning that Obama would veto the legislation; Members

1139

approved the American Research and Competitiveness Act in an easy 274-131 vote, and 62 Democrats
voted for the bill along with nearly every Republican.-

And it is equally wise to be reminded of what the TPM does not entail; for example, the
losing-Challenger to John Cornyn Brought the NDAA Controversy into Texas Race [as
STOCKMAN DETAILED OVERSEAS TRAVELS AND RIPPED MEDIA, and the MISSING
CONGRESSMAN STEVE STOCKMAN SAYS HE TRAVELED TO RUSSIA]. It is healthiest when
it is involved in primary races, such as in Texas [first forum featuring all four Republican
candidates for Texas Lt. Governor is in the bank; in front of a packed house at the
Ronald Reagan Republican Womens monthly meeting, appeared David Dewhurst, Dan
Patrick, Jerry Patterson, and Todd Staples]. Indeed, it has even been suggested that
POPE FRANCIS is a 'TEA PARTY CATHOLIC' because both oppose the establishment and
corporatism; POPE DEMANDED 'LEGITIMATE REDISTRIBUTION' OF WEALTH. {Again
recalling the history of the TPM, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said it might be
a good idea to revolt if taxes become too high in the future.}

No review of the current status of the GOP would be complete without citing the Honor-Roll of RINOs,
as it has been alleged that moderate-establishment-republicans-are-killing-the-gop-and-america. Here,
know that SC Republicans Issued Another Formal Rebuke of Lindsey Graham, as Lindsey Graham said
that he 'Embraces' Being a 'Chamber of Commerce Republican'; that another-undocumented-democrat
[Richard Lugar] came-out-of-the-shadows; and that the AZ GOP Censured John McCain and advised that
he retire because he palled-around with George Soros, who is a bad man. He said he wants the United
States taken down a few notches. He is an international criminal for currency manipulation and he
wants US conservatives wiped off the map. When MIKE HUCKABEE wants to OUTLAW USE OF 'RINO,'
he wishes to deprive analysts of a descriptive term; the suggestion is Orwellian; similarly, faux-GOPer
such as David Frum should not have admonished Palin, Jindal, and Cruz *Shut Up About 'Duck Dynasty'],
particularly when the outcome is noted. Overall, this is why one must beware-the-trojan-horse-rino.

Thematic-updates on issues that locals can affect are provided regarding myriad concerns; the ongoing
challenge to counter BHO [what we know, let alone what can be surmised] persists, notwithstanding
Indications Of A Republican Landslide, for that is then, and this is now. Each topic-heading provokes
related discussion; highlighted-hyperlinks are of particular interest, for it seems that seminal data that
had been predictable [e.g., haaretz-admits-its-politicized-agenda] continue to become unearthed. Here,
two quotes are defining: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times *Charles Dickens opener
to A Tale of Two Cities+ and That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most
important of all the lessons that history has to teach [Aldous Huxley]. Thus, problems are festering, but
hope for a reversal growsas time ticks.... {Levity: 10-Year-Old Musical Prodigy Performed With Ricky
Skaggs At The Grand Ole Opry.}

Yesterday-a.m., I was able to speak for about a minute to Michael Smerconish on POTUS
[Sirius-XM] after he claimed the Rhodes-Memo contained nothing new. *He is book-
touring regarding his Slam against Talk Radio's, claiming it has had a 'Horrific Impact on
Polarization and Incivility.'] I started listing the categorization of impeachable-offences,
which he interrupted by claiming I was symptomatic of all that he was condemning,
namely, the constant recycling of right-wing talking-points; conveniently, he failed to
discount anything that I said, thereby reflecting the problems faced by BHO and Dems.

Here are the action-items [n.b., two others (Racism and Illegal Immigration) will be prioritized later]:

[1]Contact Senator Pileggi because, as Majority Leader, only he can release the bill
Mandating Holocaust Education in PA that (c/o Sen. John Rafferty) was amended
unanimously in the Appropriations Committee; considerable jockeying is occurring, but
the essence of what remains desirable is contained in a letter that was sent to every
legislator (c/o Ms. Rhonda Fink-Whitman), constituting a summary of the situation as of
yesterday. It is possible that at friendly amendment will emerge, meshing the positive
views of most everyone involved in this lobbying effort (which has mushroomed).

[2]Combat BHOs Ongoing Assault upon Classical American [Judeo-Christiian] Values
via Liberal Fascism by recognizing how insidious are the efforts of his minions.

[3]The Benghazi-Gate House-Investigation is causing the Dems to experience angst;
educational efforts must be maximized to impress upon the electorate how profoundly
BHO has abused-power *beyond any potential discretionary rationalization+.

[4]The Scrambling to CYA regarding Nigeria has transcended the prior recitation of
Islamist Abuse in this one country; again, educational efforts must be maximized to help
people connect-the-dots, so that they will appreciate the profundity of the worldwide
war to create a Caliphate *for the Islamists havent stopped fighting the Crusades].

1142


[5]The GOP-nod for POTUS-16 is being aggressively coveted by the Establishment as
a game of keep-away from True-Conservatives *TEA Party variety+; again, it is almost
comical to note how trials are being touted, but havent taken-hold [Christie, Bush] even
as the stalwarts [Cruz, Walker] consistently perform [by speech, by action].

[6]Israels Existential Threats Burgeon, although the immediacy of the diplomacy of
Kerry has abated; it is so-sad that Iran reacts to being ignored by enhancing bellicosity.

[0]The Lame-Stream Media

While grabbing-dinner @ Nazareth Hospital, ABC News Tonight, with Diane Sawyer led with five
stories [consuming the first 7+ minutes of the telecast] that appear to have been tangential to what
actually is transpiring [e.g., as noted herein and in prior blast e-mails]; covered in a surprisingly cursory
fashionin orderwere MERS, California needs rain, Magic Johnson responds to Sterling, driver hit a
store [no injuries], and Nigeria [American drones are being used, per stock-video.

Is there any wonder why CBS-News hasnt covered BHOs Scandal-Sheet, why CBS' 'The
Mentalist' Depicts Murderer of Women as Friend of George W. Bush; why a Major Dem
Donor was Tapped to Helm NPR; and why Ezra Klein's New Website Vox Will Tell You
What to Think About the News [noting that Ezra Visited the White House 27 Times this
year]? Know that iconic talker Sean Hannity withdrew comments he had initially made
to Politico for its puff-piece on Michael Savage, the polarizing host tapped by Cumulus
to replace Hannity on its affiliates; he became unhappy that Politico repeatedly tried to
manipulate Hannitys comments. The progressive-media claim to be tough-on-obama.

Instead of probing BHO, '60 MINUTES' targeted Congress, RE-AIRING the PETER SCHWEIZER 'SLUSH
FUND' EXPOS; this investigative report by award-winning CBS reporter Steve Kroft and Government
Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer
revealed how members of Congress exploit leadership PAC loopholes to bankroll lavish lifestyles for
themselves and their family members. A possible explanation: a survey showed that American
journalists are "miserable, liberal, over-educated, under-paid, middle-aged men."

Media-bias extends to local-sports; todays Metro bashes each entity *Phillies Ben
Revere not good enough to lead off and play centerfield, flyers-front-office-cant-stop-
telling-lies, and Carter-Williams made the most of a difficult situation when he won the
MVP despite the Sixers dismal season+, but angelo-cataldi had no problem with chip-
kelly botching the Eagles-first-draft pick simply because the coach admitted-error.

The media also, regarding intramural GOP-concerns, favors the establishment; for example, retiring-
Congressman Mike Rogers, who will become a CUMULUS-RADIO HOST, expressed 'HEARTY CONTEMPT
FOR RIGHT-WING IDEOLOGUES'; in the process, Rogers Ripped Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh in NYT.

[1]Mandating Holocaust Education in PA


1143

More than one-quarter of world's population is anti-Semitic [after ranking of countries and territories,
from the least anti-Semitic (Laos) to the most (the West Bank and Gaza)]. This is particularly problematic
in Europe, where Russia Can't Decide if Ukrainian Jews Are Victims or Villains [as the Odessa community
lays low while violence engulfs oasis], Tens of thousands of Hungarians joined a protest march against
anti-Semitism [three weeks after the far-right Jobbik party won nearly a quarter of votes cast in a
national election], and Berlusconi took a hit for Nazi concentration camp [noting that public denial of
the Holocaust is a criminal offence in Germany]. This may explain why there has been a Sharp Rise in
French Jews Leaving for Israel, for they sense they are amid a 'climate of anti-Semitism.' {Aggregating
concern with Common Core and input from those who would not wish to see curriculum-writing
hijacked by Islamists, note the need for ongoing vigilance, to ensure legislative-intent is implemented:
California School District Cancelled Lesson on Holocaust Denial."}

Before summarizing whats happening in this regard in Pa, note that everything appears
politicized; for example, AG-Kane invalidated Pennsylvanias firearm reciprocity with
Utah for no definable reason, other than to enhance bureaucratic requirements. Also,
an education-related claim *Corbett cut $1.5 billion from schools since 2008,mostly in
poor districts; over the same period, wealthy race-horse owners received $1.5 billion in
tax subsidies+ was disproven *Both city school districts have seen an increase in basic
education funding from the state since Corbett took office; the cuts the American
Federation of Teachers blames on Gov. Corbett were actually a decrease in federal
funding when President Barack Obamas 2009 stimulus spending came to an end+.

In any case, recognizing the fact that Holocaust Education varies from state-to-state [Jewish Exponent,
April 25, 2014], the readers should know that there is tremendous flux regarding the desire to achieve a
mandate within a month; more will become clear after Memorial Day. {Alas, Dems vying for the chance
to challenge incumbent Gov. Tom Corbett provided policies that are predictably almost-identical, for the
question posed *perhaps purposefully+ was not formatted as an either/or *mandate vs. funding+.-
Anyway, to buoy ones spirits when pondering why a no-brainer initiative would be protracted, recall
Mark Twain, who had a great deal of respect for the Jewish People; in Harper's Magazine, writing of
The Jew in his unique style: "He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages, and had
done it with his hands tied behind him. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass but he
remains." ,Just to ensure one doesnt lose ones bearings, compare/contrast the historical impact [and
present-day correlates] of the Shoah with MSNBCs Ed Schultz tweet claiming homosexuals, not Jews,
were the true victims of Hitlers holocaust; then, recalling his fall-from-grace, Keith Olbermann spun a
narrative that concluded the Head of Philadelphia Flyers Social Media Is World's Worst In Sports.

Noting that BB [and his staff] were/are tremendously helpful in this legislative effort,
apparently, he may be rewarded, per Roll Call: Less than one year ago, [former
Democratic Rep. Marjorie Margoliess+ commanding lead in the polls, familiarity with
voters thanks to her one term in Congress in the early 1990s, and her ties to the Clinton
dynasty as Chelsea Clintons mother-in-law made her a seemingly untouchable foe. Yet
Democratic operatives say Margolies has run an astonishingly poor campaign in the 13th
District... That has shifted the focus from Margolies, 71, to state Rep. Brendan Boyle, 37.
They will vote on May 20 and will likely determine the next member of Congress from
the heavily Democratic district, which begins in the working-class segment of northeast
Philadelphia and fans out into the wealthy Montgomery County suburbs.

[2]BHOs Liberal Fascism

The laundry-list of anti-intellectual insults by libs on campus is burgeoning, suggesting that readers
meet-the-new-fascists-and-their-victims; also, a 32-Year BBC Veteran was Forced to Resign for Playing
1932 Version of 'The Sun Has Got His Hat On' That Uses 'N-Word.' In response to this effort to achieve
mind-control, The Daily Caller compiled a GINORMOUS List Grading College Commencement Speakers.
The flip-side of such overt suppression of freedom of speech is what prompted the washington-post to
state openly to obama: you-lie; and it was just revealed that, along with others in the white-house,
Tim Geithner claims Obama Told Me to Lie.

"America" The Movie: Trailer 3 will be released on 7/4/2014, and another Preview is
comprised of an interview with Truxillo; people are advised they can demand the movie
@ dinesh dsouza.com and, to superimpose levity, note how Barack Obama was
Interviewed by Dinesh D'Souza [Between Two America]. The movie-maker has noted
that The Problem Isn't Muslims, It's The Multiculturalists On Campus Who Defend Them,
and he explained why during his debate with Bill Ayers @ Dartmouth.

These anti-classical liberal attitudes and actions illustrate why it is simply impossible to trust even the
most innocent utterings from the media, even as they ignore BHOs scandals while continuing to report
on tangential concerns [vide supra]. Unreported, for example, is the fact that AG-Holder put forth an
agenda wanting almost $400 million in the next budget for common sense regulations like electronic
bracelets for legal gun owners; never-shown are Videos Debunking Myths About Gun Show Background
Checks, stories about Homeowners who Use an AR-15 to Shoot Home Invader Armed with Handgun;
and photos of a restaurant that prooves: gun-control-doesnt-work. {Lest one dare to forget the
attitudes of MSNBC/CNN, note CNNs expression of Worriment that Hillary Clinton May Have
Jeopardized her POTUS-16 Run with Gun Control Statements such as, "We have to rein in what has
become [an] almost article of faith, that anybody can have a gun anywhere, [at] any time."}


[3]The Benghazi-Gate House-Investigation

Already elucidated are the myriad problems with BHOs narrative in this regard; indeed, Congressman
Trey Gowdy (R-SC) turned the tables on the media and asked them questions about Benghazi. [The
silence was deafening.] As a result, Judge Jeanine Pirros Opening Statement on FNC concluded *as
have I] that the Benghazi Scandal constitutes the Biggest Cover-up Since Watergate; Brit Hume added
that the Geithner Revelations Make White Houses Benghazi Claim 'Inconceivable.'

The benghazi-investigation is already-tearing-apart-the-democratic-party, as the dems
have-become-benghazi-deniers, quoting Harry Reid [using both his and the Obama
regimes classic Marxist, class-warfare rhetoric, while slipping in another Koch Brothers
attack], Charlie Rangel [Americans Wont Lose Any Sleep Over Benghazi], and Michael
Bloomberg [defending Hillary, he wonders, 'What'd You Expect Her to Do in Benghazi?'
and calls criticizing Hillary "cheap politics." Perhaps taking-the-cake is the claim that U.S.
Ambassador Christopher Stevens wasnt murdered the night of the Benghazi attacks,
but died of smoke inhalation, according to Daily Beast columnist Eleanor Clift.
Ultimately, the political-query is Can Hillary Play the Victim on Benghazi? ,Another
wrench-in-the-works is Karl Roves view that Hillary Clinton may have brain damage.}


1145

As a result, Sen. Cruz [albeit blocked by Challenged Sen. Menendez] wants a bicameral, bipartisan
Benghazi Committee; after he Suggested Democrats 'Can't Handle the Truth,' he listed Ten Questions
That Remain Unanswered About Benghazi:

1. Why was the State Department unwilling to provide the requested level of security to
Benghazi in the summer of 2012?

2. Did President Obamas daily intelligence briefings in the run-up to September 11, 2012
support the assertion that there was no credible threat of a coordinated terrorist attack
on Benghazi during this time? And if so, why does the White House not declassify and
release the briefings, as President George Bush did his pre-September 11, 2001
briefings?

3. Why did we not anticipate the need to have military assets at the ready in the region on
the anniversary of September 11, of all days?

4. Did President Obama sleep the night of September 11, 2012? Did Secretary Clinton?
When was President Obama told about the murder of our ambassador?

5. If the secretary of defense thought there was no question this was a coordinated
terrorist attack, why did Ambassador Susan Rice, Secretary Clinton, and President
Obama all tell the American people that the cause was a spontaneous demonstration
about an internet video?

6. Why did former deputy CIA director Mike Morell edit the intelligence community talking
points to delete the references to Islamic extremists and al-Qaeda?

7. Why did the FBI release pictures of militants taken the day of the attack only eight
months after the fact? Why not immediately, as proved so effective after the Boston
bombing?

8. Why was Secretary Clinton not interviewed for the ARB report? And if all relevant
questions were answered in the ARB report, why did the State Departments own
inspector-general office open a probe into the methods of that very report?

9. Why have none of the terrorists who attacked in Benghazi been captured or killed?

10. What additional evidence that the White House engaged in a political campaign to
blame the Benghazi attack on the internet video is contained in the additional emails
requested by JudicialWatch but withheld by the White House on the grounds that it
would put a chill on internal deliberations?

[Justifiably added to this list would be a probe why dozens of CIA agents were in the Benghazi-Annex, for
it is alleged that they were involved in (illegal) Gun Running; CADDELL ON BENGHAZI: PRESS HAS FAILED
THE COUNTRY AND FACTS WILL PUT OBAMA IN DEEP TROUBLE.]


[4]Scrambling to CYA regarding Nigeria

1146


Chuck Todd concluded that, in Hindsight, Clinton's Decision on Boko Haram Looks Awful; PETER KING
feels HILLARY incorrectly THOUGHT SHE COULD NEGOTIATE WITH BOKO HARAM; Josh Rogin found that
Hillary Yielded To Nigerian Gov Instead of CIA, FBI, DOJ, WH, and Some at State Dept on Boko Haram.
Rush LIMBAUGH opined HILLARY DIDN'T DECLARE BOKO HARAM A TERRORIST GROUP 'BECAUSE
THEY'RE BLACK'; amazingly, The Daily Beast claimed Boko Haram Terrorists Are Not 'Islamic.' In any case,
listen to a Boko Haram Survivor Tearfully Recount the Attack to a D.C. Counterterror Panel, and then
appreciate why Israel Sent a Counter-Terrorism Team to Help Rescue Girls Abducted by Boko Haram.

Although Im not wont to quote him, Bill Maher correctly claimed Islam Is The Problem;
he Battled Arianna Huffington over Islam, observing, " Liberals Too PC to Ever Condemn
It." He elaborated on these comments on Mohammed and Islam in CNNs Situation
Room with Wolf Blitzer. It is truly amazing to watch the MEDIA, now FINALLY KEEN TO
CONDEMN BOKO HARAM, FIVE YEARS LATE. {Bill Maher also Argued For Privacy, Free
Speech In Wake Of Donald Sterling Scandal.}


[5]The GOP-Nod for POTUS-16, etc.

My-guys have been out-in-force; Sen. Ted Cruz and Pastor Rafael Cruz were at Washingtons A Man Of
Prayer 2014 Luncheion; he delivered the Commencement Address at Stephen F. Austin State University
and he has Discussed the Obama Administration's Lawlessness with Federalist Society. Meanwhile,
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker supposedly doesnt know how to make Republicans more appealing,
Santorum advocated for Minimum Wage Hike, Rand Paul denounced Voter ID and then reversed, Rubio
is now touted as the Establishments Best Bet, PENCE BLASTED FEDERALIZED COMMON CORE AND
TOUTED STATES AS THE 'CURE' [signaling policy-flip], and Gallup found Voter Enthusiasm plummeted.
{[(A satiric narrative regarding political prognostication by Stuart Rothenberg, a Dem, is hysterical.)]}

John Boehner said, My Friend Jeb Bush Would Make a 'Great President'; after Boehner
signaled support for Jeb Bush to run for president, BOEHNER REFUSED TO COMMIT TO
ANOTHER FULL TERM, claiming'I'M LIVING ON BORROWED TIME.'

Noting that lib-pundits such as HALPERIN now predict REPUBLICANS WILL TAKE THE SENATE, it is now
desirable to probe the refined-approach by those who are Fighting for the Future of Conservatism.
Establishment Republicans had been delighted by the victory of Thom Tillis, their favored candidate in
last weeks North Carolina primary; after expensive advertising campaigns by establishment bagmen like
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Karl Roves American Crossroads, mainstream conservatives believe
they have a candidate who can beat Democrat Kay Hagan to win a valuable Senate seat in November.
Yet, in reaction, Palin correctly advised the GOP Establishment to 'Knock Off the Gloating,' predicting
that, for Conservatives, Nebraska Race Is High-Risk, High-Reward. Thus, it must be concluded that the
Tea Party passed the test in Nebraska as conservative groups pushed a high-quality candidate [Sasse],
illustrating how it has become mainstreamed within the GOP. {This conclusion will be tested elsewhere,
such as in arizona, where a gubernatorial-candidate allegedly embellished her military & legal
experience.} Note these headlines [and note that Cruz-endorsed Ricketts won the gubernatorial-race]:

VICTORY IN WV CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY - Alex Mooney won the Republican
nomination in the crowded primary for Senate candidate Shelley Moore Capito's open
House seat in West Virginia.

With 57 percent of precincts reporting, Mooney had received 33 percent of the votes,
when the Associated Press called the race. Mooney, a former Capitol Hill staffer who
also served in the Maryland state senate and as chairman for the Maryland Republican
Party before moving to West Virginia, had benefitted from outside spending from
Senate Conservatives Fund, Madison Project and Tea Party Express, among other
groups.

President Barack Obama lost West Virginia's 2
nd
District by a wide margin in both 2008
and 2012. But Democrats are hoping a top recruit, Nick Casey, former chairman of the
state's Democratic Party, will boost their chances of picking up the seat.

Consulting a super-fantastic website [http://foxnewsinsider.com/tag/chris-stirewalt] will
preclude the need for key-concepts to be recapitulated; just note recent headlines [e.g.,
glenn-beck-slams-common-core-oreilly-factor] and recognize that they often are
uniquely pursued @ this venue [FNC]. The problem, however, is that the erudition of
the column written by Chris Stirewalt cannot be hyperlinked and, in recognition of what
just occurred in Nebraska, his pre-election comments are provided in-toto:

PRIMARY GUIDE: GOP CIVIL WAR OR QUALITY CONTROL?
Dont believe the hype. The Nebraska Senate primary today is being cast as another
installment in the battle between the Republican Senate leadership and the tea-party
coalition trying to brush back Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. And thats
truebut only up to a point. Insurgent candidate Ben Sasse, a former Bush
administration health policy wonk who helped turn around a struggling Nebraska

1148

college after leaving Washington, headed into todays voting with what scanty polling
suggests is the lead and the momentum. Those who plunder the corpses left by
Republican civil wars for fun and profit are already casting Sasses potential victory as
revenge for an establishment candidates victory last week in North Carolina. But Sasse
has been quite good at running for Senate. His tea-party backed counterpart in North
Carolina, however, was not. Much the same can be said of conservative crusaders in
Mississippi, Georgia, Kansas and certainly in McConnells own Kentucky. Conversely,
base-buoying candidates are doing just fine in places like Oklahoma, Iowa and Michigan.

Chickens counted, not hatched - So who cares which very conservative candidate wins a
Nebraska primary in which fewer than 200,000 votes may be cast? The seat is safely
Republican and either Sasse or the frontrunner he supplanted, former state Treasurer
Shane Osborn, would have a nearly identical voting record in the Senate. The only ones
who really care are those who are already counting votes for leadership posts in an
imagined Republican majority next year. McConnell is all but certain to retain his
position atop the heap if he survives a stiff Democratic challenge this fall, but when it
comes to other posts in the leadership team and, more importantly, deciding which
strategies the party would pursue, loyalties count. Sasse, supported by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-
Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, would not go along to get along. Osborn, who has
paid his dues in the party and is backed by McConnell loyalists, would likely be a reliable
vote for Team Mitch. This jockeying for future Senate scrimmages has no doubt made
the race uglier and far more expensive than necessary, but hey, politics is a tough
business. Sometimes you husk, sometimes you get husked.

Discerning - All this effort for drafting fantasy teams for the 114
th
Congress is fine for the
political junkie set and for those looking to lobby or otherwise pull the strings of the
Senate. But what about the decent people? What seems to be happening is that
Republicans are embracing the old William F. Buckley rule of backing the most
conservative candidate who can win. The long-running feud between McConnell and
his foe, former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, who now leads the Heritage
Foundation, is great for Beltway smack-talkers but not of much consequence to regular
folks. The mistakes Republicans made in 2010 and 2012 related to placing these kinds of
allegiances ahead of practical considerations, like, you know, actually getting into the
Senate. Some establishmentarians will win this year, some may lose. The same goes for
the outsiders. But in the end, these races will all come down to Republican voters taking
the measure of their options. Sasse has run well and made few mistakes. Osborns
campaign faltered on a couple of occasions. Voters may have concluded that Sasse is the
steadier choice. Making overbroad interpretations about national trends from that
would be dangerous. But one thing is showing through so far this year: Republican
voters are showing a degree of discernment we didnt see from them in the previous
two cycles.

Campaign Carl wants to know if all the outside money and negative attacks in
Nebraskas Republican U.S. Senate primary could backfire on the two frontrunners,
Midland University President Ben Sasse, with support from tea party groups and outside
super PACs had inched into a slight lead in the polls over former state treasurer and
establishment favorite Shane Osborn. But heading into the final stretch, three national
super PACs backing Sasse unleashed attacks on a third candidate, banker Sid Dinsdale,

1149

who ran no attack ads in his campaign and won the endorsement of the states largest
newspaper all of which suggests Dinsdale is worth very much watching tonight, too.

WEST VIRGINIA GOP UNITES BEHIND CAPITO
In West Virginia, seven-term Rep. Shelley Moore Capito is expected to easily win the
Republican primary. On the Democrat side, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant is bound
to secure her partys nomination. Capito is widely favored to win the seat currently held
by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., with even Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., praising
Capitos candidacy. When Democrats recruited Tennant, the party had hoped
Republican infighting and resistance to moderate Capitos nomination would present an
opportunity. But, West Virginia will almost certainly move deeper into the loss column
for the blue team after tonight. Fine, but what about the states House races? There are
trends to be seen.

Rahall has rough ride ahead - Rep. Nick Joe Rahall, D-W.Va., faces a tough battle to
keep the seat he has held since 1977. Already considered one of the most vulnerable
incumbents, Rahall has drawn a testy primary challenge from retired Army Maj. Richard
Ojeda. While Rahall should cruise to victory, a strong showing even in defeat by the
underfunded Ojeda would be a key indicator that Rahall is toast. That would lead
national Democrats to write off Rahall, who is expected to face his toughest general-
election fight yet with state Sen. Evan Jenkins, a Democrat-turned-Republican. The
National Republican Congressional Committee named Jenkins to its Young Guns list
and the scant polling indicates Rahall will be start the general election cycle well behind
his challenger. Sixty-five percent of voters in the district backed Mitt Romney in 2012.

Two steps forward, one step back for GOP? - The test of how red West Virginia has
become will be in the 2
nd
Congressional District, represented by Capito since 2001.
Democrats have drawn a strong contender in former state party Chairman Nick Casey,
but Republicans have been in an expensive, unpleasant four-way fight for the
nomination. (Read the Charleston Daily Mails take here.) A Democratic win in the fall
would encourage the national party to keep West Virginia on its map for the future.

AH, OBAMACARE: WE HAVE TO BREAK PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE CHOICE HABIT
NYT has the story of how ObamaCare is resulting in fewer choices for American health-
care consumers. As insurance costs go up, choices for care go down. But, according to
the Times and the companies selling limited-option plans as part of the law, maybe
thats a good thing. Instead of people getting all mixed up deciding how highly to
prioritize cost or coverage, the government just tells companies what to sell and then
people dont have to choose. This rationale results in the following quote from a
purveyor of narrow plans: We have to break people away from the choice habit that
everyone has, said Marcus Merz, the chief executive of PreferredOne, an insurer in
Golden Valley, Minn., that is owned by two health systems and a physician group.
Were all trying to break away from this fixation on open access and broad networks.

Poll: broad opposition to birth-control mandate - Daily Caller: A majority of Americans
including a majority of women, independents, and young voters oppose the

1150

contraception mandate created by Obamacare, according to a new poll set to be
released Tuesday by the Family Research Council. Fifty-three percent of likely U.S.
voters oppose forcing employers to provide plans that [provide] various birth control
methods, according to the poll, conducted earlier this month. Forty-three percent
support doing so Despite being a bargain for women, fifty percent of women oppose
the mandate while only 45 percent support it, according to the poll, conducted by WPA
Research

[Byron York: Millions of Americans have now had an opportunity to experience
Obamacare, and if the polls are correct, more of them have had negative experiences
than positiveDemocrats, in their euphoria over the 8 million sign-ups to Obamacare,
made a mistake in concluding that signups equal approval. In truth, a significant number
of those signing up for health coverage on the exchanges might be unhappy about losing
coverage elsewhere, or unhappy about the (unsubsidized) price they are paying, or
dissatisfied with the choices available under their new coverage.+

Cant call it a win bonus - Daily Caller: The CEO of Colorados Obamacare exchange
was given a $14,000 bonus and a 2.5 percent cost of living raise on Monday, even as the
exchange struggles for ways to pay its bills in the coming years. Patty Fontneau is now
the third-highest paid director of a state-run Obamacare exchange, earning more than
$195,300, according to Health News Colorado. She raised hackles after her request for
the raise and bonus came to light in October, when the exchange was performing
miserably and not hitting even its worst-case scenario goals for enrollment.

BAIER TRACKS: OBAMA CANT RIDE OUT VETS SCANDAL
While Republicans have set their sights on getting to the bottom of the Benghazi and
the IRS controversies, another scandal has been brewing that threatens to overtake the
administration sooner as in right now. Americans have been horrified to hear
allegations of fraud, faked documents, shoddy healthcare and deadly delays at Veterans
Affairs hospitals. It is unimaginable to most that those who have served our country
could be treated so poorly by the government that owes them so much. What started in
Arizona has now spread to other facilities around the country. And they just keep
coming. Last night, the agency revealed new reports about potential wrongdoing at a
North Carolina veterans hospital. If the scandal continues to snowball, two things will
likely happen: 1) President Obama will be forced to address the subject in greater
detail. 2) Secretary Eric Shinseki will have to step down. This doesnt feel like an
instance where the administration can do what it has attempted in other scandals and
ride it out or try to convince reporters it has already dealt with. But, in Washington,
anything can happen. Bret Baier.

Report: vets cancer tests delayed, denied - Patients of a southeast Texas Department
of Veterans Affairs facility had life-saving cancer tests delayed or denied as a cost-
cutting measure, a whistleblower told the Washington Examiner. Dr. Richard Krugman,
former associate chief of staff at the Veterans Affairs health care system based in
Harlingen, Texas, said his boss implemented a policy in 2010 that colonoscopies would
only be approved if the patient tested positive in three successive screenings for bloody
stools. By the time that you do the colonoscopies on these patients, you went from a

1151

stage 1 to a stage 4 *colorectal cancer+, which is basically inoperable, said Krugman,
That was done because of dollars and cents.

Drone memo author faces more hurdles for judgeship - The nomination of David
Barron to the First Circuit Court of Appeals is one of the most controversial by the
Obama Administration, with sparks expected to fly this week. Barron, a former Harvard
law professor and former acting assistant attorney general, is the author of the Justice
Department Drone memos which provide the legal basis for the targeted killing of
American citizens. Watch Fox: Chief Intelligence Correspondent Catherine Herridge
examines the growing opposition from both sides to Barron and what it means for the
future of the administrations drone policy.

JEB REVS UP ON IMMIGRATION, MIDDLE CLASS
Tampa Bay Tribune: *Former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla.] gave an impassioned speech before
New Yorks top political donors, casting immigration reform as a way to grow the
economy, warning of a declining American Dream and pressing back on Common Core
critics. We cannot go back and dumb down our standards, Bush said at a Manhattan
Institute dinner The American Dream is slowly being replaced by something
economists call stickiness at the ends. Those born wealthy will stay there and in many
cases, those who are poor will do the same. Those in the middle -- the group who has
defined who we are as a nation for two centuries -- are shrinking and they are feeling
the squeeze. Today for the first time over the longest period of time, a majority of
Americans believe their children will have less opportunity than what they had. If our
people are not rising, our nation will not rise. But Bush said taking more from the
successful and doling out the proceeds to the less successful will not work. He called
for lower taxes, better education and supporting families, in a traditional way, in order
to prevent childhood poverty. Immigration reform was a recurring theme of the night,
with several speakers calling for action, including mega-donor Paul Singer For the life
of me I have a hard time understanding why people are fearful of our own heritage, our
own history The rules are you come to this country, you pursue your dreams, you
create value for yourself and your families and others and great things happens to you
and to our country. Why would we ignore that at time when we need to restart and
rejuvenate our economy? It makes no sense to me, *Bush said+*Former New York City
Mayor] Rudy Giuliani, who introduced Bush, said the former Florida governor was
elected with 61 percent of the Hispanic vote. Wow, Giuliani said. It just could be that
our party could win an emerging group and get a big vote and change the nature of
politics. Oh well, I hope we can. Theres a lot of speculation that he may run for
president, Giuliani said. Hes got a very, very high problem to overcome: Hes got a
record of success.

Boehner gives a nudge - Washington Examiner: House Speaker John Boehner said he is
nudging former Florida *Republican+ Gov. Jeb Bush to run for president and he wants
to take up immigration reform legislation in small pieces, starting first with border
security. Boehner made the remarks at the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce during a
question-and-answer session with the editor of Texas Monthly. Boehner, when asked
whether the House would take up immigration reform this year, said it would depend
on whether he can bring my members along, and he acknowledged that one group of
GOP lawmakers has no interest in taking up the issue during an election year. There are

1152

some members of my party that just do not want to deal with this," Boehner said. Its
no secret. But I do believe the vast majority of members of our party do want to deal
with this, and they want to deal with this honestly, openly and fairlyHe said it was
way too early to pick a top GOP presidential candidate. Weve got a lot of good
candidates out there, and yes, Jeb Bush is my friend, I think hed make a great president.
And Ive been nudging him for some time.

FIRST IN FOX NEWS FIRST - COTTONS CAMP REBUTS NBC NEWS POLL
Rep. Tom Cottons campaign is hitting back against an NBC News/Marist College poll
that shows the Arkansas Republican trailing Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., by 11 points. A poll
conducted for the campaign by GOP firm onMessage and provided to Fox News Fist
shows Cotton leading 42 percent to 40 percent. Among independents, Cotton leads 36
percent to 33 percent. Another 23 percent of independents are undecided, good news
for a challenger in a race with a longtime incumbent. Cottons camp argues that the NBC
News/Marist poll is unreliable, pointing out that it is not screened for likely voters and
that its sample includes just 23 percent registered Republicans in a state that has grown
increasingly red in recent elections.

DEMS GROW UNEASY ABOUT STEYERS CLOUT
The Atlantics Clare Foran explains why the growing influence of environmentalist and
billionaire Democratic bundler Tom Steyer is scaring some Democrats: Steyer, a hedge-
fund-manager-turned-green-evangelist, says he plans to raise up to $100 million during
the midterm elections for candidates who stand strong on climate change. But as he
doles out big checks to Democrats, Steyer has also stepped into the spotlightand that
is making some in the party nervous Steyers persona, the skeptics feel, opens
Democrats up to charges of hypocrisy, and leaves too much of the party's profile in the
hands of a man who has been popularly elected to exactly nothing Others fear that
Steyer, a wealthy environmentalist living in Northern California, plays into a decades-
long GOP effort to paint Democrats as out of touch with working class America. Intent
on making those charges stick, the Republican National Committee rolled out a series of
attacks last week describing the mega donor as a wealthy elite bankrolling the liberal
agenda.

DEMS LOOK TO SPEND BIG TO SAVE BEGICH SEAT
Politico: The independent expenditure arm of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign
Committee has begun booking airtime in Alaska, laying down extensive TV reservations
in one of the states expected to determine control of the Senate. Democratic and
Republican media-tracking sources said Monday that the DSCC has booked time running
from Sept. 23 through Election Day. The full size of the buy is about $3.5 million,
according to one source. Democratic Sen. Mark Begichs reelection campaign in Alaska
is expected to be one of the hardest-fought Senate races in the country this year. He will
face one of three Republican challengers: former state Attorney General Dan Sullivan,
the favored candidate of D.C. Republicans; Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell; or conservative
activist Joe Miller, the partys unsuccessful 2010 Senate nominee. The primary is set for
Aug. 19.

Sullivan celebrates service in new ad - Roll Call: Alaska Republican Dan Sullivan
released his latest TV ad on Monday, a 30-second spot highlighting his military service

1153

and pushing the message that the state needs a fighter again. The 30-second spot,
running on broadcast stations, never mentions Democratic Sen. Mark Begich. But the
incumbents photo is briefly plastered on screen alongside President Barack Obama. As
a Marine, I learned that talk is cheap and results are what matter. But thats not how
they operate in Washington, Sullivan says as the two Democrats photos appear.

GRAHAM DRILLS DEEP FOR VOTES IN NEW AD
The Hill: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is touting his energy chops in statewide TV and
radio ads released Monday. The ads, boasting Grahams push for the Keystone XL
pipeline and drilling, come with less than one month left before Graham faces off with
six Tea Party-affiliated Republican candidates in South Carolinas primary election. In
the 30-second video ad, Pipeline, former U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins praises
Graham for being the first U.S. senator to visit the oil sands in Canada. Every drop of oil
we get from Canada is one less drop we have to get from countries in the Middle East,
countries that dont like us. Lindsey Graham understood that before most people
understood it, Wilkins, a former South Carolina state House Speaker, says in the TV ad.
The 60-second radio ad, also released on Monday, opens to the sound of gunfire in a
war zone as the narrator asserts that terrorism is on the rebound. The voice goes on to
state that despite the increase in terrorism, the U.S. continues to import nearly $400
billion a year in foreign oil.

*One of Grahams Senate challengers, Richard Cash, is currently running an ad touting
his 10 arrests for protesting abortion.]

SHAHEEN TOUTS SMALL BIZZ SUPPORT IN NEW AD
The Hill: Sen. Jeanne Shaheens (D-N.H.) new campaign ad features a small-business
owner touting the senators work for companies like hers in New Hampshire. In the ad,
Adria Bagshaw, the vice president of a New Hampshire steel company, declares of the
senator: What really impresses me about Jeanne Shaheen is, if we bring a problem to
her she cares and shes going to listen. Bagshaw says Shaheen is working to help small
businesses export products, access credit and train high-skill workers. I think Jeanne
Shaheen really makes a difference for New Hampshire, Bagshaw concludes, as a shot of
Shaheen appearing with the plants workers appears on the screen. The ad will begin
airing Tuesday, as National Small Business Week launches in cities across the nation.

[The latest Dartmouth College poll shows Republican Scott Brown leading Shaheen 39
percent to 36 percent.]

PICK SIX: MICHIGAN NOT A SAFE DEM SEAT?
The stakes are high for Democrats come November as they need to limit Republican
gains in the Senate to five or fewer in order to retain control of the upper chamber. If
the GOP can flip six seats from blue to red this year, the dynamics in Washington will
change in a big way. Fox News First wants to know which six Democratic-held seats are
most vulnerable. The current consensus among readers: Arkansas, Montana, Louisiana,
South Dakota, North Carolina and West Virginia. Reader Frank Hutton of Los Angeles,
Calif., would like to add Michigan to the list seeing a competitive race between Rep.
Gary Peters, D-Mich., and former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land. Hutton writes,

Israels Existential Threats Burgeon

Impending is total collapse of BHOs quartet of major Middle East initiatives *Israel, Iran, Syria, Libya+;
indeed, as has been amply documented, his entire paradigm is collapsing globally. After viewing israels
century in-a-flash, it will be easier to appreciate The Origin of the Occupation Myth, why Kerry was
disabused of the notion that Israels policies were 'Apartheid,' and why Hamas TV Tells Young Children
to Shoot All the Jews. Iran reacts to being ignored by enhancing bellicosity [thoroughly documented via
two sets of hyperlinks]. Kerry, with a sense of resignation, told Syrian Rebels, 'We Wasted Year' in Fight
Against Assad. Meanwhile, the BDS-Movement has evolved into attempting to ban college-trips-to-israel
because they are allegdly/inherently unethical if sponsored by any entity viewed as Zionist; indeed, the
Students for Justice in Palestine Said Neo-Nazis are Right about Jews. Finally, a normalization deal
between Israel-Turkey is reportedly Likely in Coming Days. ,Note that newstalk-990 is sponsoring an
event Stand_With_Israel in Drexel Hill, PA] which may provide insights as to the immediate-future.}

This column is beyond a pay-wall [Bret Stephens: Iran Doesn't Want a Deal] and, thus, is
being reprinted in-toto; it captures the past/present/future succinctly, profoundly:

John Kerry began the year trying to bring representatives of the Assad regime together
with rebel leaders in Geneva to end the civil war in Syria.

It was bound to fail. It failed. Strike one.

Next, the secretary of state worked tirelessly to create a framework agreement between
Israelis and Palestinians, with a view to settling their differences once and for all.

It was bound to fail. It failed. Strike two.

This week, U.S. negotiators and their counterparts from the P5+1the five permanent
members of the Security Council, plus Germanywill meet in Vienna with Iranian
negotiators to work out the details of a final nuclear agreement.

You know where this is going.

There's been a buzz about these negotiations, with Western diplomats extolling the
unfussy way their Iranian counterparts have approached the talks. Positions are said to
be converging; technical solutions on subjects like the plutonium reactor in Arak are
being discussed. Last month Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif said there
was "50 to 60 percent agreement."

All this is supposed to bode well for a deal to be concluded by the July deadline. If the
Iranians are wise, they'll take whatever is on the table and give Mr. Kerry the diplomatic
win he so desperately wants. Time is on Tehran's side. It can sweeten the terms of the
agreement later onincluding the further lifting of sanctionsthrough the usual two-
step of provocation and negotiation.

1155


The only thing Iran has to fear is an Israeli military strike. For that to happen, Jerusalem
needs (or believes it needs) conditions that are both militarily and diplomatically
permissive. By agreeing to a deal, the Iranians further restrict Israel's options without
permanently restricting their own.

But Iran is not wise. It is merely cunning. And fanatical. Also greedy, thanks to a long
history of being deceitful and obstreperous and still getting its way without having to
pay a serious price. So it will allow this round of negotiations to fail and bargain instead
for an extension of the current interim agreement. It will get the extension and then
play for time again. There will never be a final deal.

Why am I so confident? Listen to the man with the last word first: "They expect us to
limit our missile program while they constantly threaten Iran with military action,"
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Sunday. "So this is a stupid, idiotic expectation. The
Revolutionary Guards should definitely carry out their program and not be satisfied with
the present level. They should mass produce."

Ballistic missiles are lousy weapons for anything except the rapid delivery of chemical or
nuclear warheads. (The 39 Iraqi Scuds that hit Israel in 1991 killed two people.) But
limiting the number and range of ballistic missiles is central to any agreement that aims
to prevent Iran from having a rapid nuclear-breakout capability. Mr. Khamenei's public
call to mass produce missiles is not exactly an indication of seriousness about a final
deal.

Also a sign of non-seriousness was last month's call by Ali Akbar Salehi, head of Iran's
Atomic Energy Organization, to add an additional 30,000 centrifuges to Iran's existing
19,000. "So far we have produced seven to eight tons of enriched uranium," he said. But
he wants Iran to produce 30 tons, ostensibly to fuel the civilian nuclear plant at Bushehr.
And that's 30 tons a year. A single ton of civilian-grade uranium suffices, with further
enrichment, for a single atomic bomb.

Still not getting the drift? "Iran will not retreat one step in the field of nuclear
technology," said one prominent Iranian over the weekend. "We have nothing to put on
the table and offer to them but transparency. That's it. Our nuclear technology is not up
for negotiation."

That's Iranian President Hasan Rouhani speaking. For good measure, he added that Iran
would go back to producing 20% enriched uraniumwhich is close to weapon-grade
"whenever necessary." And he's the moderate. Even the Obama administration cannot
accept a deal that allows Iran to expand its centrifuge capabilities or enrich uranium to
20%.

The hardening of Tehran's negotiating position is another reminder of the blunder the
administration made when it agreed to the interim deal and then turned on Congress to
prevent automatic sanctions in the event Iran failed to make a final deal. "Show that you
are strong, and you will see results"such was the advice Mr. Rouhani confidentially

1156

offered an Israeli agent posing as a U.S. official in 1986 on how to deal with the
Ayatollah Khomeini. The advice is still sound.

In the meantime, the administration needs to think about what it will do when Mr. Kerry
strikes out. Is there a Plan B, other than the president's now trademark mix of hollow
threats and soliloquies on the limits of presidential power? I doubt it. Goethe wrote
that nothing is worse than aggressive stupidity, which is true. But pompous impotence
surely comes in second place, and this administration combines aspects of both.

The Israelis may sit still through all this. But Mr. Kerry shouldn't count on it.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/224310456/Acton-Items-CXXIII-Recapitulation-Nebraska-Amnesty-Racism

Again, to start-out with a recapitulation of what has been just-remitted, know that [1]the evil-media
cannot be trusted to deal with and to disseminate key-facts [noting this conclusion was enhanced after
direct 1:1 contact with a lib who pretends to be moderate and independent (Smerconish) who
revealed himself to be a hypocrite a decade ago (story available upon request) while still Philly-based];
[2]despite encouraging predictions of an impending Republican Landslide in 14, it remains desirable
to hope for the best while preparing for the worst; *3+it is advised that people Contact Senator
Pileggi to encourage him to release the bill Mandating Holocaust Education in PA for reasons
summarized in this letter; [4]it is advised that people disseminate education (contained, for example,
in these blast e-mails) to Combat BHOs Ongoing Assault upon Classical American *Judeo-Christiian]
Values via Liberal Fascism and to emphasize that the Benghazi-Gate House-Investigation will further
show why Dems are fretting that the world will learn profoundly BHO has abused-power; [5]
Scrambling to CYA regarding Nigeria reflects the cupidity [more than the stupidity] of BHO/Hillary
and their cohorts, for it stems from inability to recognize the need to fight a global war against Islamism;
[6]the GOP-nod for POTUS-16 will (it is hoped) yield to the True-Conservatives *TEA Party variety+,
as representation thereof within the GOP continues to increase methodically; and [7]Israels
Existential Threats Burgeon, as BHO continues to enhance the schism between Israel and traditional
American support, particularly with regard to how it is necessary ASAP to confront Iran.

As sidelights, note [1]Roll Call has predicted that, in the Dem-primary for PA-13,
Marjorie Margolies [and two others] will lose the nomination to Brendan Boyle (who
has been quite-helpfuldue to deep commitment of himself and his staffto the effort
to mandate Holocaust education; [2]BHOs relationship with truth is merely casual;
[3]how easy it is to demand that Dinesh DSousas upcoming flick (updating the threat
to America that BHO represents) be screened in the Delaware Valley; [4]how videos
debunk Myths About Gun Show Background Checks; [5]why Benghazi-Gate
constitutes the Biggest Cover-up Since Watergate; [6]the ideal ticket for the GOP in
16 would team-up Cruz/Walker; [7]it is mandatory to recognize a phenomenon
reminiscent of my [in-press] letter-to-the-editor of the Annals of Internal Medicine
whereby ideologues corrupt the scientific method to justify obamacare; [8]why
Common Core is so very dangerous (as are RINOs such as Christie/Bush who support it;
[9]The GOPs Senatorial primaries have split, thus far *in North Carolina and Nebraska]
between the Establishment-GOP and the more traditionally-conservative nominees, and
can be expected to continue to do (with the Establishment-GOP dominating in
Mississippi, Georgia, Kansas, and Kentucky and with the more conservative nominees
dominating in Oklahoma, Iowa and Michigan) because Republican voters are showing a
degree of discernment they failed to exhibit in the previous two cycles; [9]advocates
for ObamaDontCare are comfortable with its resulting in fewer choices for American
health-care consumers (as insurance costs go up); [10]a majority of Americans
(including a majority of women, independents, and young voters) oppose the
contraception mandate created by ObamaDontCare; *11+most Americans have now
experienced ObamaDontCare and it is more likely than not that their experiences have
been negative (not positive) due to losing coverage, or paying a higher (unsubsidized)
price, and/or having limited available choices; [12]BHO will not be able to skate over

1158

the snowballing VA-Hospital scandal following release of new reports about potential
wrongdoing at a North Carolina veterans hospital; *13+BHOs judicial nominees may
experience tough-sledding next week; [14]BHOs foreign-policy is failing, both in the
Middle East [tilting towards Iran and away from Israel, for example] and globally; and
[15]Medved/Prager of newstalk-990 will speak in Drexel Hill, PA. Characterizing BHOs
Presidency, perhaps, is how it combines aspects of aggressive-stupidity [which cannot
be topped, per Goethe] and pompous-impotence [which surely comes in second place].

In a somewhat celebratory fashion, it is desirable to provide input from the daily blast e-mail issued by
the National Reviews JIM GERAGHTY, who hyperlinks to a piece explaining Why the House continues
to investigate Benghazi.No, the Benghazi Questions Aren't All Answered. Here is his take on Sasse:

Ben Sasse Cruises to a GOP Primary Win; Technical Formality of General Election Will
Be Held in November

Hey, remember everything I said about the risk Republicans take by nominating Sid
Dinsdale to be their Senate nominee in Nebraska?

Yeah, never mind. By 10 p.m. Tuesday night, the Associated Press called the primary for
Ben Sasse. This morning we see Sasse won nearly 50 percent in a four-way race.

This morning you're seeing some folks celebrating this result as a win for the Tea Party
over the Establishment, and while that's not quite wrong, the usual lines were a little
blurred. Sasse went to Harvard, Oxford, and Yale; already worked on Capitol Hill, and
President Bush appointed him as Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services.

It's good news for conservatives and it's very good news for National Review. Sasse ran
ads featuring the NR cover early to establish his conservative bona fides. Besides being a
heavy favorite in November, Sasse is very much a health policy wonk, who will have
something to say on Obamacare beyond "repeal it, it stinks."


'Tea Party' wins big in Nebraska

SASSE, MCCONNELL SET FOR SHOWDOWN?


1159

Also touted are essays that corroborate previously-documented assertions, particularly regarding Bush
*notwithstanding his being on the wrong side of both immigration reform and Common Coreeven
after his rationales for his viewpoints have been quoted in prior blast e-mails]:

KEVIN D. WILLIAMSON: Black students are still waiting for educational equality. Brown-
ian Motions.
JONAH GOLDBERG: Unlike his father and brother, Jeb Bush has made no effort to woo
the GOP base. Why Jeb Bush's Turn May Not Come.
MICHELLE MALKIN: Another shady contractor? No problem, says the see-no-crook
Obama administration. Cash for Obamacare Shirkers.

It is now desirable to disseminate hyperlinks illustrating why Agitation to Bestow Amnesty has
increased recently, as the threat to certain incumbents [Fitzpatrick] abates due to quiet passage of
primary-election deadlines; and, as the Dems continue to invoke Racism to divide America (desperate to
minimize the risk of tremendous electoral defeats, in 14 and, perhaps, in 16), the GOPs major task is
to becalm the electorate. Invoking a baseball-metaphor, regarding the former, Republicans must keep
their eyes on the balls (rather than allowing themselves to become distracted by opposing cheer-
leaders); regarding the latter, Republicans should dodge bean-balls and pick pitches that can be stroked
into the outfield (rather than swing for the rafters or hope for the umpire [media] to issue a walk).

Before addressing these issues, it is always instructive to report what lefties are
disseminating, even if provision of data is routinely supplanted by expressions of wise
and sensitive intent; in this regard, note how one author is Reading HuffPo Comments
on Charles Krauthammer So You Don't Have To for, although he is occasionally soft
[such as when he declared Benghazi-Gate moribund, immediately prior to release of the
Rhodes-memo], his insights are regularly on-point regarding issues ['Leave It to the
Congress' to Determine Constitutionality of the NSA, although he should also emphasize
the ultimate authority of the judiciary] and regarding BHO [obama is purposefully
oblivious; It's As If He Wandered Into The White House On A Tour And Discovered He's
President; It Took Barbara Walters 5 Years to Realize Obama Not Messiah?], ] and his
metaphors are routinely fresh *We Can 'Take Cold Showers for the Next 100 Years,'
but it Won't Solve Global Warming].


Agitation to Bestow Amnesty on Undocumented/Illegal Aliens/Immigrants

Although forever in the background, noise for reform has enhanced recently, as the threat to certain
incumbents [Fitzpatrick] abates, due to quiet passage of primary-election deadlines. In many respects,
the agitation has been sparked by the GOPparticularly Boehner and Republicans who look to loosen
penalties on illegalsrecognizing that this represents only a minority of the GOP; because Boehner has
demonstrated a propensity to violate the Hastert Rule to attain passage of legislation *adding some Rs
to unanimous Dems+, what is threatened is a reconciliation bill *generated either piecemeal or in a
unitary fashion] with the Senate version [which passed] that would become law despite opposition from
a majority of the House Caucus. The overall forces at-play reflect the ongoing conflict between the
Establishment *Wall St./K St.+ and the base *Main St.+, as per the thrust of this essay:

Boehners Crocodile Tears for Amnesty

1160

Such a weird little battle over meaningless and known outcomes. Conservatives, aware
from press reports and congressional leaks, knew what would be in the Paul Ryan
drafted budget plan. The conservative groups released statements in opposition to the
plan based on what they had been told. But there was never any doubt about the Ryan
plan passing.

After the plan was publicly unveiled by the Republicans at six oclock on a Tuesday night,
conservative fears were realized. Those things they knew would be in the plan were, in
fact, in the plan. The plan funded Obamacare. The plan raised taxes. The plan broke the
sequestration spending limits that only a month before Republican leaders had said
would never be broken.

Speaker Boehner then did something curious. He held two press conferences wherein
he lashed out at conservative groups. He denounced them for making up their minds
before the plan was publicly unveiled. Never mind that everyone knew what would be in
the plan. Never mind that he only gave the public thirty-six hours to explore the text of
the plan a violation of a campaign promise to give at least seventy-two hours of
examination. Speaker Boehners statement sounded like former Speaker Pelosi claiming
we had to pass the Ryan plan to find out what was in the Ryan plan.

Superficially, it is a very odd fight. But Speaker Boehners crocodile tears in his attacks
and cries against the conservative movement are really about the next fight. Speaker
Boehner intends to pursue immigration reform, with an amnesty component. Before he
gets there, he needs to shape battle lines.

These hyperlinks are provided in a fashion that captures both the major components of this controversy
and certain nuances that have otherwise not been noted. Know at the onset that the total number of
illegals in America is unclear [20 million illegals in US & Undocumented population in U.S. may be rising]
and that seminal factoids have been ignored [5 Immigration Falsehoods from the White House, deeper-
look-into-immigration-problems, 19-very-disturbing-facts-on-illegal-immigration]; recognize also that
this issue has been pushed by the dems/libs despite overall public disinterest [GALLUP: ONLY 3%
BELIEVE IMMIGRATION MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE]. Appreciate the fact that it is being promoted subtly
by Google [Google Translate Program Now Uses 'Undocumented' Instead of 'Illegal Immigrant' After
Pressure from Latino Activists, GOOGLE amnesty app helps illegals avoid deportation]; listen each/every
time Sen. Jeff Sessions speaks [e.g., Immigration plan bad for U.S. workers], for he [along with Rep.
Stephen King] have been the most out-front defenders of the view that no amnesty should be
considered [whether overtly or via work-visas] until the borders have been secured [n.b., For the first
time in a decade, immigration flow to Texas exceeds that to Arizona].

Here is a statement from Tea Party Patriots [which just arrived] reaffirming opposition
to amnesty in light of Tea Party Express' Sal Russo coming out in support of amnesty;
dissemination of this information is intended to ensure that everyone understands that
TPP is still anti-amnesty, for we need to make sure that the grassroots see that TPP is
not the group that has altered its position.

Millions of people have come to America legally and invested the time
and effort to become naturalized citizens in pursuit of personal freedom
and their American Dream.

1161


We admire them for their courage, determination and desire, all of
which reflect the founding principles of the United States.

The position of Tea Party Patriots is clear. We must first fully secure our
borders. Immigration reform cannot happen without this necessary first
step.

We support legal immigration and the rule of law, according to the
Constitution. There is already a legal path to citizenship for those
wishing to come to the United States. Anyone who decides to get off
that path and enter the United States illegally should not be given any
sort of amnesty because doing so is neither fair nor equal treatment
under the law.

We must also demand the Obama administration enforce our current
immigration laws. Those who are determined to have entered the
country illegally and are on-track for deportation should be deported.
Those who have been convicted of crimes and are serving sentences for
their crimes should remain incarcerated until their sentences have been
served.

Conservatives are watching Congress like a hawk and will do everything
to make sure immigration reform is done in a manner that respects the
law and those who abide by it.

Aggregated facts illustrate the profundity of the threat to the fabric of American society
were amnesty to be granted; many people and organizations have proposed innovations
[e.g., Errol Phillips proposed a guest-worker program, which he views as a sensible-
solution-regarding-immigration] but, in light of the risk that a RR-job could transpire if
ANY legislation were to be entertained, the conservative [TEA Party] movement is
adamantly opposed to any alterationeven the most temptingparticularly when
BHO/AG-Herder are already so empowered that they abuse-discretion routinely.

MARK LEVIN observed, therefore, that BOEHNER TRASHED CONSERVATIVES TO GET AMNESTY VOTES;
the above-linkage illustrated why some felt the BUDGET DEAL PAVED WAY FOR AMNESTY Vote in 2014.
It is a gimme that the GOP Estab. and Chamber of Commerce Prepared for Looming Amnesty Fight,
noting efforts by pro-amnesty forces to minimize the problem as they advocated reform. Indeed, they
have episodically seized upon an event so as to embellish its importand suggest they will prevail *e.g.,
IMMIGRATION SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS: GRAND BARGAIN DEAL CLOSE, Rep-Jason-Chaffetz-R-UT-
There-Should-Be-a-Pathway-to-Citizenship, DAILY CALLER: SUPPORT FROM 4 HOUSE GOP MEMBERS
MEANS 'MOMENTUM' FOR AMNESTY]. They maintain the discipline that whatever emerges must
provide a pathway-to-citizenship/amnesty-for-illegal-aliens.

The resulting task for conservatives is akin to whack-a-mole, in that each argument
that arises must be discounted promptly [e.g., The Heritage Foundations Robert
Rector debunked the White Houses attempt to sell amnesty with dubious Keynesian
economics]. Numerous interest-groups [immigration-officers-union: end-political-

1162

corruption-in-immigration-before-amnesty], pundits [Kevin-McCarthy-No-amnesty-for-
illegal-immigrants] and legislators [Congressman Reveals Obama Policy That Opened
Asylum Floodgates, immigration-comments-stir-passions-jenkins-forum] have risen to
this task, and this is how one might envision how-amnesty-goes-away.

1. Block Legalization First bills in this Congress.
2. Republicans hold on, and maybe even win the Senate in 2014and hold
on again in 2016.
3. Buy off the business lobby with increased visas and guestworkers, and
split the amnesty lobby by legalizing some DREAMers.
4. Beat a couple of Dem senators on the issue.

These overall considerations must include mention of the involvement of the Church:
Cardinal Dolan: Congress Must Pass 'Once-in-a-Generation' Immigration Reform
PEW: Demographics play role in bishops' immigration push

coming-to-a-church-near-you-catholic-officials-will-be-pushing-amnesty-for-illegal-aliens
Particularly upsetting to conservative thinkers is corruption of the views of deceased-leaders
[IMMIGRATION ADVOCATES HIJACK DR. KING'S LEGACY FOR AMNESTY], prompting some black-leaders
to have rallied in-dc-against the gang-of-eight-immigration-bill; this segues into the internal conflict
among Dems over the issue of jobs, *n.b., Keystone XL Pipeline], recalling the fact that Coretta-Scott-
King [in 1991] advised that society must hold-companies-accountable-for-hiring-illegal-aliens.

Meanwhile, state governments expend tremendous resources *entitlements+ for illegals

Illegals threaten hospital finances -- in Connecticut

illegal-aliens-demand-free-organ-transplants

Just noted is the ability of local governments to withhold services from illegals [recall Hazelton]

The Supreme Court upheld a lower Federal court ruling that allows local governments to
pass ordinances requiring verification to keep illegal aliens out of jobs and out of
apartments, if written like the two in Fremont, Nebraska.

"The Supreme Court let stand an emphatic decision in the Eighth Circuit that
rejected every argument on the merits that the ACLU and MALDEF threw at the
Ordinance.The Ordinance requires all businesses in the city to use E-Verify and
it requires all tenants to obtain an occupancy license. In cases where the tenant
is not a US citizen, the city then checks the aliens immigration status with the
federal government, and if the alien is unlawfully present, revokes the license."
The decision allows any state and/or local municipality to take a few
immigration enforcement actions on their own, despite the federal

1163

government's lack of enforcement. The Obama administration can halt nearly all
deportations, but states, counties, and towns can protect their unemployed and
underemployed residents by requiring businesses to only hire legal workers and
blocking their ability to rent a house or apartment.

The ability of non-federal governments [state/local] to evade nonfunctional federal action is emerging

Missouri Ahead of the Game in Dealing with Illegals [The Ozarks Sentinel, 5/13/2009]

Missouri has no illegals, go figure. Shouldn't the other states do the same?

Missouri's approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to be more
advanced, sophisticated, strict and effective than anything to date in Arizona.

Does the White House appreciate what Missouri has done?

So, why doesn't Missouri receive attention?

Answer: There are no illegals in Missouri to demonstrate.

The "Show Me" state has again shown us how it should be done. There needs to
be more publicity and exposure regarding what Missouri has done. Please pass
this around.

In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment
designating English as the official language of Missouri. In November, 2008,
nearly 90% voted in favor! Thus, English became the official language for ALL
governmental activity in Missouri. No individual has the right to demand
government services in a language OTHER than English.

In 2008, a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway Patrol and
other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any person
arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be in Missouri
illegally. Missouri law enforcement officers receive specific training with respect
to enforcement of federal immigration laws.

In Missouri, illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayer benefits such as
food stamps or health care through Missouri Health NET.

In 2009, a measure was passed that ensures Missouri 's public institutions of
higher education do NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in
the United States. In Missouri, all post-secondary institutions of higher
education to annually certify to the Missouri Dept. Of Higher Education that
they have NOT knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully
present in the United States.

So, while Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is important to
remember, Missouri has been far more proactive in addressing this horrific

1164

problem. Missouri has made it clear that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in
the state and they will certainly NOT receive public benefits at the expense of
Missouri taxpayers.

AMNESTY FOR MILITARY MEMBERS' ILLEGAL RELATIVES FULL OF LOOPHOLES
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 was passed by the House Armed
Services Committee without any amendments that would have granted amnesty to
certain illegal aliens. But, the fight simply moves now to a different venue.

The Committee's markup wasn't void of some drama, though The Ranking
Member, Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), did offer Rep. Jeff Denham's (R-Calif.)
ENLIST Act as an amendment, but withdrew it after not taking the required
steps to offer such a significant amendment.

Within the next few weeks, House Leaders will bring the bill before the entire
House, but not before going through the Rules Committee, which will establish
the rules for debate. The Committee can pass a closed rule (no amendments can
be offered), a restricted rule (only certain amendments can be offered), or an
open or modified-open rule (any amendment can be offered - with a few
requirements if it's modified).

1168


The best case scenario would be for a closed rule, but if last year is any
indication, it'll be a modified-open rule. That's why we've already asked our
activists who have Congressmen on the Rules Committee to send faxes, urging
its Members not to allow a vote on the ENLIST Act or Rep. Mike Coffman's (R-
Colo.) Military Enlistment Act. Both bills would grant amnesty to illegal aliens
who enlist in the military.

Anticipating an open rule, we've already posted faxes on your Action Board

Racism & Reverse-Racism

Harkening back to the beer-summit, BHO has fomented divisiveness, such as when obama-told schools-
not-to-discipline-black-students-for-bad-behavior; obamas-race-baiting-harms-black-youths, and NOT
because Zimmerman was acquitted for killing Martin. His leadership has prompted others to emulate
his reverse-racism [which Allen West applies both to Obama and to AG-Holder, notwithstanding how-
the-left-and-their-allies-in-the-media-use-bogus-narratives against allen-west]; each observed instance
is, frankly, bizarre [ROCKEFELLER ACCUSED LAWMAKERS OF RACISM: STALLING PROGRESS BECAUSE
PRESIDENT IS 'WRONG COLOR'; Plan of Dem Candidate [for Wisconsin governor] to Mock Republicans
Racist Record Unraveled When He was Confronted by Black GOP Delegate].

This has led to the recent [and ongoing] attacks on Sen. Tim Scott [R, S.C.] by both
Assistant Democratic Leader Rep. James Clyburn [who complained in a Washington Post
article, If you call progress electing a person with the pigmentation that he has, who
votes against the interest and aspirations of 95% of the black people in South Carolina,
then I guess thats progress] and Bloomberg writer Francis Wilkinson [who claimed
Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina--an African American--only became a
senator because Republicans "lowered the bar" for his appointment; he also claimed
that Scotts candidacy serves as a "shield" for racist Tea Party members to hide behind].
{It has also led to attacks on SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas [who has unique views on
life and law].}

Post-Zimmerman/Martin violence appears not to have been triggered by the verdict [black-man-shot-

rights-group has even threatened-physical-violence-if-they-are-not-given-free-tuition, and a defining
query *Was he black?+ is all-too-often the first question raised when such news-reports emerge.
Countering these data is the type of wanton violence that persisted during the century following the

trying-to-keep-black-bus-riders-out-of-their-community]. This is the poisoned-atmosphere that festers
in BHOs world of social justice.

Regarding the issue of racial-preferences in day-to-day life, a Lib/Dem posed this query:
I appreciate that a libertarian's view of small government would result in not even a
desire for state anti-discrimination laws. Im not suggesting that such a view equates
with bigotry but, with this goal in mind, how does one deal with discrimination (anti-gay,
anti-Semitism, etc.)? Im not being judgmental here; Im genuinely trying to understand
what a libertarian would think on this issue from a pragmatic, real life perspective if not
done via government policy. The short-answer is that people should not have to prove
their innocence in whatever process they are forced to function [such as baking a cake],
particularly because of the difficulty discerning motive when skin-color is not at-issue
[e.g., LGBTQ].

Solutions abound regarding specific legitimate concerns raised within the context of activities-of-daily-
living *ADLs+. BHO should, instead, have emulated MLKs Son, who Shocked MSNBCs Tour when he
claimed it is Important for Blacks to be Engaged with the Tea Party. And UCLA Found A Way to Use
Race in Admission, specifically by having switched to a holistic admission system, inasmuch as using
race in admissions to public universities has been illegal since the passage of Proposition 209 in 1996;
many American universities grant advantages to members of racial minorities in admissions, although
not all will admit it. Regarding Voter ID Laws, its desirable to attack fraud in a reasonable fashion and, if
desired, flip to a system that was pioneered two decades ago by Lani Guinier [Ranked-choice voting
upholds majority-rule principle, broadens choice and opens up political process].

Regarding Philly, the Philadelphia Daily News characterized the city as being In ruins as it explored
How Philadelphia became the poorest big city in America; for decades, City Hall has been an indifferent

Cold Realities Lie Ahead On ObamaCares Costs

By Grace-Marie Turner
Forbes, April 22, 2014

The White House is trying to manufacture good news about ObamaCare, but cold
realities lie ahead that will reveal the truth about the laws success or failure. All we
have to do is follow the money.

Who has paid? This is crucial to determining how many of the eight million that the
president says enrolled in federal and state exchanges actually completed the
purchasing contract by paying the premium. If the news were good, wed assume the
administration would have released it.

A McKinsey survey estimated that only 53% of previously uninsured enrollees had paid
their premiums, while 86% of previously insured enrollees had paid.

Georgia Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said that insurance companies
participating in the ACA exchanges in his state have received payment from only about
half of those who applied for coverage. Georgia insurers received more than 220,000
applications for health coverage, but premiums had been paid for only 107,581 of those
policies by the end of March.

The number of paying customers may be higher in other states. But how many who do
pay the first months premium will pay the second, third, and fourth month, especially
after they learn of the limited benefits and high deductibles the policies carry?


1175

Big premium increases: The Obama administration has touted a Congressional Budget
Office report that says the health law will cost about $5 billion less than originally
projected this year and $104 billion less over 10 years. Thats partly because the
Supreme Court made Medicaid expansion optional for the states and because the
Obama administration has made (mostly illegal) changes to the law that give more
people escape hatches.

CBO numbers are one thing, but pocketbook costs are another. Avik Roy writes in
Forbes that individual-market premiums this year are 41% higher on average than last
year and, in some states, more than 100% higher.

Lower spending for the government doesnt mean lower costs for people. Sticker shock
is coming for next years rates, according to insurance company executives. While
companies are trying to keep premiums low to keep and attract enrollees, analysts
expect premiums to triple in some states. People will begin to learn just how high the
new prices will be this fall before the next enrollment period begins in November.

One reason premiums will increase next year is because the exchanges have not
succeeded in enrolling enough healthy young people to pay more than their share of
premiums, partly because young people up to age 26 were allowed even encouraged
to stay on their parents plans. Another factor: After strong blowback from people
angry their plans had been cancelled, the administration is letting states allow people to
keep their old health plans instead of forcing them into the new exchanges. This
worked against the administrations goal of attracting a normal risk pool in the
exchanges.

Sicker enrollment mix: Pharmaceutical benefit manager Express Scripts found that
enrollees in the ObamaCare exchanges are likely to be more expensive than patients in
commercial risk pools. Its new study shows that enrollees in federal and state
exchanges have a 47% higher use of specialty medications than in commercial plans in
general. The rate for HIV medications in ObamaCare exchange plans is four times
higher, and the proportion of pain medication prescribed was 35% higher than
commercial plans.

While it was to be expected that those with more health needs would have a greater
incentive to sign up for coverage, their higher costs will not be offset by the 40% of
healthy younger people who the administration needed to enroll and pay
disproportionately higher rates for their insurance. Only 28% of enrollees were in the
coveted 18-34 age group.

All of this is likely to add to the sticker shock to come.

Payback: While the penalties for not having compliant health insurance are relatively
modest the first year, the bigger financial burden for some exchange enrollees could be
paying back extra subsidies they may receive. People who make more money in 2014
than they estimated on the ObamaCare enrollment form will likely receive a larger
subsidy than they were eligible for. They will have to pay back the difference, or some

1176

part of it, to the federal government when they file their tax returns next year. This
could be an unexpected hit of several thousand dollars for some people.

Paying through rationing of providers: Millions of Americans are facing much higher
health insurance costs as a result of the laws mandates, and many more are finding it
difficult to find a doctor to see them because of the tiny networks in the ObamaCare
health plans. This is especially vexing for patients with chronic illnesses who are losing
their doctors and who are seeing treatments interrupted or even stopped.

Washington State has decided to create more bureaucracy to try to fix the problems
caused by having too much bureaucracy. Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is
expected to approve new rules this week that would make it harder for health insurance
companies to offer narrow networks in order to keep premiums down. Consumers
shouldnt have to drive too far or wait too long for care and should be able to find
specialists who will see them, he insists, adding that he doesnt believe prices will
increase as a result.

This is called the Affordable Care Act, not the Accessible Care Act, said Bill Hinkle, a
former state legislator. According to Seattles KPLU radio:

Board member Bill Baldwin lobbed a string of adjectives at Kreidlers proposal:
burdensome, bureaucratic, complicated, excessive, countercompetitive,
counterproductive and kind of Big Brother.

Sydney Smith Zvara of the Association of Washington Healthcare Plans says the new
rules would require stacks of paperwork, including thousands of maps.

The sheer weight and volume of the administrative and reporting requirements that
come along with that have the effect of just smothering the ability to provide more
innovative networks,&quot; Zcara said.

Companies in the private marketplace compete vigorously to provide American
consumers with the best value for their money. But thats not how ObamaCare works.
Instead, companies are forced to jump through an endless array of regulatory hoops to
appease government bureaucrats.

The result is high deductibles, high premiums even after subsidies, and limited choices
of doctors and hospitals, jeopardizing health coverage for those who get insurance at
work when the employer mandate is reactivated.

Taxpayers are footing the bill.

Regarding Fannie and Freddie, reform will get more difficult. Shifting leadership dynamics underscore
why supporters pushed so hard for this year's proposal, which probably wont be voted upon in 14 due
to opposition by some Dems. The Senate Banking Committee approved legislation that would get rid of
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and overhaul the mortgage finance market.

It may be recalled that the Executive Editor of the NY-Times recently dissed BHO as non-transparent;
that may explain why Abramson was fired, for her departure will ricochet. One lesson is that Great
reporters are not always great leaders, and a second lesson is that the Boys on the bus are back; in this
regard, it is argued that the firing of Jill Abramson highlights the journalism industry's gender issues.
Apparently, she demanded equal-pay as had been given to her predecessor, Bill Keller, and she had
been in an administrative rehab program when she was replaced with Managing Editor Dean Baquet.
[Initially, when the NEW YORK TIMES REPLACED HER, IT DIDN'T KNOW WHY; The Times reported that

New York Times Editor Jill Abramson Abruptly Removed From Top Job

From Commentary Magazine: Judge the Times the Way It Judges Others:

Love it or hate it, the New York Times remains one of the principal
institutions of American journalism. So when its executive editor is
abruptly and publicly fired with none of the usual platitudes or polite
white lies about the victim deciding to explore other opportunities or
spend more time with their families and with the process not dragged
out to ensure a smooth and seemingly orderly transition, it is big news
in the world of journalism. But the decision of Times publisher Arthur
Pinch Sulzberger Jr. to oustto use the word used by the
newspaper in the headline of its own story about the firingJill
Abramson seems more like a public hanging than a routine replacement
of a top editor. Abramson is a deeply repellent figure in many ways, but
her treatment is shocking not because it might be undeserved but
because it is highly unusual for someone at this level to walk the plank
in such a manner.

The Agenda of Heritage Action *c/o Mike Henry, Regional Coordinator [202 276 9395, @mhenryjr]:

Shaheen-Portman
Last week the Senate agreed to proceed to the Energy Savings and Industrial
Competitiveness Act of 2013 (S. 2262). Introduced by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and
Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), the bill claims to promote energy savings in industrial and
commercial buildings. However, by providing federal incentives (i.e. taxpayer dollars) to
make building and manufacturing processes more efficient, the bill would burden
taxpayers and consumers alike while producing no tangible benefits. Like most
government-initiated efficiency programs, this one is fatally flawed because it is based
on the idea that businesses and families will act irrationally unless the government
intervenes. On Monday night, this bill lost a cloture vote in the Senate. It was a huge
victory for the grassroots conservatives that support common-sense energy policies.

Export-Import Bank
As the battle over Ex-Im continues to threaten deep pockets of special interests across
the country, many are the feeling the heat of the banks likely demise. While this is a
clear victory for American taxpayers, some DC powerbrokers will go to great lengths to
avoid dissolving the corporate slush fund. To this end you will notice many in the
political class seeking Ex-Im reforms in place of termination. Behind the faade of
compromise, these advocates know they are protecting status quo protection of big-
business interests. Half-measures and superficial improvements cannot guarantee
taxpayer safety any more than they can put a stop to the cronyism that results from
bureaucrats taking the place of bankers. The only way to reform Ex-Im is to end it.



1180

Tax Extenders
This week, Senate Democrats plan to bring to the floor an $85 billion grab-bag of tax
promises extending current policy. This tax extenders package is a sad display of the
well-connected special interests finding preference in our nations tax code. Congress
should allow the extenders that do not move us toward a pro-growth, neutral tax code
to expire and return to the drawing board to develop fair policy that brings an end to
the influence of well-fed lobbyists. As Heritage Action CEO Mike Needham has pointed
out, Wind-energy, NASCAR, and the horse racing industry have no business using our
nations laws to give themselves a leg up on the rest of us. Heritage Action will be key
voting against the package.

OPIC
Last week, the House passed the Electrify Africa Act which sneakily included a three-
year reauthorization of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a similar agency
to Ex-Im that provides corporate welfare, subsidizes risk and causes flagrant harm. The
vote was yet another violation of the Hastert Rule (House Leaderships sixth), which
states that if a certain bill does not have the support of a majority of the majority party,
it should not be brought to the floor for a vote. In spite of its passage, 117
representatives voted against this corporate welfare fund after being made aware of the
hidden OPIC language by an aggressive grassroots push from conservatives on the
ground. If these same members continue to oppose political favoritism and corporate
handouts in all forms, with the help of devoted and informed activists they can defeat
the Export-Import Bank this fall.

Immigration
Representative Jeff Denhams (R-CA) Encourage New Legalized Immigrants to Start
Training, or ENLIST, Act (H.R. 2377) continues to stall in the House. The ENLIST Act
would allow DREAMersunlawful immigrants brought to the U.S. as minorsto acquire
lawful permanent resident (LPR) status in exchange for military service. Essentially, by
allowing illegal immigrants to sign up for the armed forces, the government would grant
them, a) pardon for violating the law, b) the full battery of military benefits, c) lawful
permanent resident status in the U.S., and d) a back-door promise of instant
citizenship. As Heritage Actions Wade Miller has stated:

"Allowing DREAMers...to acquire lawful permanent resident (LPR) status
in exchange for military service turns military service into a penance.
Our volunteer military thrives in large part because American citizens
recognize that it is a privilege, not a punishment, to serve in the
military."

The Big Picture
The full value of this life can only be got by fighting; the violent take it by storm. And if
we have accepted everything we have missed something war. This life of ours is a
very enjoyable fight, but a very miserable truce."

BHOs Scandal-Sheet

The rapid growth of surveillance under BHO has prompted yearning [all-i-want-for-christmas-is-my-
freedom-back] and levity [Obama Commemorative 'Scandal' Plates]; Jon Stewart sumed-up what
America has learned about domestic spying over the last 6 months: Lots of change, not that much hope.
None of this relates to 9-11 conspiracies [Michael Moore Was Right? and saudi-911-coverup]; rather, it
includes Fast & Furious [if nothing else, to give justice to Brian Terry on the anniversary of his Murder].

Lesser-known federal agencies are involved, such as the EPA [IG: Personal Information
Stolen from 104,179 after Energy Department Cyber Attack; Clandestine EPA operating
'in shadows'; and Lisa Jackson hauled back before Congress]. Also, the creation of a
military entity was authorized within the ObamaDontCare enabling legislation.

Prominent in the news is the VA appointment-scheduling scandal which HOLDER already has dismissed
[just like he and BHO did regarding the IRS, vide infra]; thus, he contemplates no Investigation Into
Secret Waiting Lists or Veteran Deaths at VA Hospitals [because, incredulously, he awaits further news
reports of abuses]. Nevertheless, Federal prosecutors entered this VA death scandal and, thus, criminal
charges are possible; in an atmosphere where investigations are perpetuated, the va-chief said he
would withhold-information-from-congress by citing-ongoing-investigation. [This recalls the advice that
Congress should mirror what Judicial Watch has done, namely, rather than issuing subpoenas, it should
file FOIA-requests.] Meanwhile, predictably, Defense chief Hagel says he supports VA's Shinseki, but

see Photos at White House During Benghazi Attack] and John Kerry Refused to Allow Congress to
Question Benghazi Survivors, but investigators hope that at least one of the dozens of operatives will be
unearthed to explain what they were doing [did BHO-turn-benghazi-into-al-qaeda-terrorist-hub?] and to
clarify whether publicly-released info was censored and/or spun *employing the mantra What did you
know and when did you know it?+. At the very least, they should be asked to clarify the veracity of the
claim by CIA officers that there was a clash over how quickly they should go help the besieged U.S.
ambassador during the 2012 attack on the Libyan outpost/annex, and the existence [or lack thereof] of a
standing order for them to avoid violent encounters.

A-year-later, as the libyan-government-commemorated-september-11-by-refusing-to-
arrest-benghazi-killers despite the fact that all of the benghazi-terrorists remain free,
BHO claimed he remained committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice; indeed,
Known Benghazi Liar Susan Rice was poised to Brief Congress on Syria.

Conservatives remain concerned about a cover-up of a cover-up of a cover-up [such as when tom-
cotton-savaged-democrats-on-benghazi], and they quote a Benghazi Mother *I Begged Administration
for Answers] as illustrative of the claim that No justice for the Benghazi victims has yet been attained;
they even note how the current situation in Libya is deteriorating [explosion-at-government-building-in-
benghazi on 9/11/2013], and some launched a campaign to fire Boehner over his sluggish Benghazi
response. [In this regard, some feel energies should be directed solely @ BHO and the Dems, whereas
others feel the GOP can easily multitask; in my view, this reflects accumulated frustration regarding
Boehners sub-par leadershipand potential to ram-thru Amnesty.]

Illustrating re-election woes facing Dems, note how Annie Kuster [N.H.-2] refused to
answer a question on Benghazi [Im certainly not here to talk about it. Im here to talk
about the Middle East.] when she spoke to the Jewish Federation in Manchester.


IRS

New-documents-show-irs-targeting-came-directly-from-washington-dc. Thus, even if The Hill correctly
Insisted the GOP was Abandoning the IRS Investigation, this certainly isnt the case any longer. The
following WSJ-exchange was triggered by OBAMAs ATTEMPT TO MAKE IRS TARGETING TEA PARTY
LEGAL and, although composed -year ago, captures both the legitimate component of the controversy
[#1] and the proper way it should be perceived [#2]:

Bradley A. Smith (The Latest IRS Power Grab, op-ed, Dec. 9) asks the question: Why is
the IRS regulating political activity at all? He attributes IRS regulation to Democratic
politicians and progressive activists when, in fact, the IRS has long limited the extent to
which many types of tax-exempt entities can engage in electoral politics. The IRS is
doing its jobor more accuratelycontemplating doing its job after years of
dereliction. Mr. Smith attributes three myths to the Campaign Legal Center, but it is
he whos ginned up myths.

Regarding Myth No. 1, the Legal Center knows that 501(4)s arent charities and
does not refer to them as such. Indeed, the Legal Center itself is tax exempt as a
501(3), the tax code section covering charities, religious and educational
organizations.

1183


Regarding Myth No. 2, despite Mr. Smiths claims, Section 501(4) of the tax code
does require organizations claiming tax exemption to be operated exclusively for the
promotion of social welfare. IRS regulations state explicitly: The promotion of social
welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political
campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office.

Finally, regarding Myth No. 3, all tax-exempt organizations enjoy a tax breakthey
are not required to pay federal income tax for funds raised and spent to advance their
exempt purpose. Even candidate and party committees get a tax break, but under
Section 527 of the tax code, which requires disclosure of donors. By contrast, 501(4)s
arent required to disclose their donors publicly.

Whats really at stake here is disclosure of money spent by tax-exempt groups on
candidate-related election activity. There are no limits on how much these groups can
spend on election activity. The question is whether such groups are subject to donor
disclosure. The Legal Center sides with the Supreme Court that voters are entitled to
know whose money is being spent to influence their votes. Mr. Smiths Center for
Competitive Politics believes in denying voters this crucial information, allowing special
interests to dominate our electoral discourse by hiding behind 501(4) tax status.

Mr. Smith rightly criticizes proposed IRS rules limiting political speech by nonprofit
501(4) groups. Those rules restrict even truthful, nonpartisan criticism of IRS and
bureaucratic wrongdoing by classifying it as candidate-related political activity.

For example, if an IRS official subjects citizens to incredibly burdensome demands for
irrelevant information just to harass them for their political or religious beliefs, no
501(4) group could later criticize that officials nomination to be IRS commissioner,
without engaging in restricted activity. Thats because the IRSs proposed regulation
defines even unelected government officials, like agency heads and judges, as
candidates if they have been nominated for a position requiring Senate confirmation.
The IRSs proposed rules are an attack on the First Amendment that will make it easier
for the government to get away with harassing political dissenters and whistleblowers in
the future.

NSA

Recalling the movie Minority Report, it is uncanny that, in Texas, Search Warrants Can Now Be Based
on a "Prediction of a Future Crime"; moreover, as noted last week, cars in PA can also be searched
without prior acquisition of a warrant. Noting the intense debate between privacy/security [and how
some politicians have found themselves with strange bedfellows+, it may require the flick by Dinesh
D'Souza [which will Take on the NSA in the Upcoming 'America'] to distill the key forces at-play; also
noted, not surprisingly, is the fact that Obamas Half-Brother Backed-Out of D'Souza Movie Interview.
After having followed surveillance-tactics developed by the nsas-mad-scientist targeting a Dragnet that
Included Allies, Aid Groups and Business Elite, overall, Obama Can't Name a Single Terror Attack
Stopped by NSA Snooping of phone-records. {One is reminded of the aphorism Those who would
sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither by Benjamin Franklin.}

Despite this admission, Consumers worried about NSA intrusions have little recourse,
although state-level legislation [in PA, introduced by Sen. Mike Folmer, but still pending]
can be used to nullify certain aspects of federal law [e.g., in michigan, the ndaas-
indefinite-detention was blocked]. This is a hotly-debated concern, as evidenced by the
order by a CNN host to producers that they cut [Conservative legal activist] Larry
Klayman from screen during an interview, after Klayman got into an argument with host
Don Lemon and legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin; he had been invited to discuss his victory in
a lawsuit challenging NSA surveillance but, after he was cut, he compared Lemon to
disgraced former MSNBC host Martin Bashir. In any case, some fear the nsas-next-move
will be the silencing of university-professors [perhaps a manifestation of Liberal Fascism,
the catch-phrase discussed in-detail a few days ago, quoting from Jonah Goldberg].
,Also, during discussion on FNCs Special Report, Krauthammer noted that the FISA
court rubber-stamped the request by AG-Holder to engage in surveillance @ the UN of
foreign delegations, despite the obvious absence of any terrorist-threat to the USA.}

These revelations started years ago [when Bush-43 was POTUS+ when the NSA's searches of a database
containing the phone records of nearly all Americans for three years violated privacy protections by
failing to meet a court-ordered standard. The violations continued until a judge ordered an overhaul of
the program in 2009. Subsequently, a U.S. judge ruled the NSA's program that collects records of
millions of Americans' phone calls is lawful. Yet, a different federal district court Judge Ruled Against the

1185

NSAs program entailing Bulk Collection of Phone Data, finding that such systematic ability to keep
records of all Americans phone calls most likely violates the Constitution; as a result, he ordered the
government to stop collecting data on two plaintiffs personal calls and to destroy the records of their
calling history. In any case, the NSA can tap smartphone data, and the u-s-government-asked-google-to-
remove-over-4000-posts-containing-political-content-in-2013.

In addition, security-searches-of-private-planes raised alarm, New military drones can
deploy weapons without human control, the FEDS SEIZE LAPTOPS AT THE BORDER, and,
as a key part of a campaign to embed encryption software that it could crack into widely
used computer products, the NSA arranged a secret $10 million contract with RSA, one
of the most influential firms in the computer security industry. {Note that the NSA CAN
DECODE PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS.}

Ultimately, a federal-judge-used every-known-nsa-defense-in-defense-of-the-nsa and a President's
Panel Recommended Sweeping Changes to Data Collection, many of which have yet to be implemented.
Furthermore, to appreciate the international import of the NSAs activities, one must appreciate just
how Interpol works; thus, Merkel compared the NSA to Stasi in a heated encounter with Obama
*although some claim she was acting holier than thou because Merkel may also hear Obama's calls].
Thus, in a tongue-in-cheek fashion people know the nsa-is-coming-to-town, and it will be determined
whether you have been-naughty-or-nice; the ability to dispute this determination is quite limited.

Snowdens revelations were viewed as 'Cataclysmic,' the result of his having Stolen the
'keys to kingdom'; indeed, the Extent of Snowden's Leaks continues to Elude the Feds,
and a CNN Legal Analyst said Snowden Is the Intel Equivalent of a 'Mass Murderer.'
Regardless, Snowden now says his mission has been accomplished.

The NSA is open to cutting a deal with Snowden, for it will consider granting him amnesty in return for
return of the documents; meanwhile, the RADIO HOST MIKE SAVAGE WAS BLOCKED FROM DEFENDING
SNOWDEN IN THE UK. Curiously, Glenn-greenwald has bashed-neocon-hillary-clinton *Americans-love-
to-mock-the-idea-of-monarchy-and-yet-we-have-ours-own de-facto-monarchy+ and Greenwald called-
out MSNBC on crony journalism *I Defend Snowden Like You Defend Obama 24 Hours a Day.].
