The focus, again, is on both the Middle East and the porous-border; the info gleaned from multiple

sources is again provided with attitude that is directly derivative of the database. Also cited is the
latest lib-argument against trusting the GOP, ultimately playing the trump-card, a SCOTUS-appointment;
thus, there are definable limits beyond which the die-hard Dems simply will not budge. One would think
that the accumulation of anti-BHO evidence should suffice to suggestat least for two yearsthe GOP
should be provided sway in both houses of Congress, but the most that can be coaxed out of these libs is
that BHO aids/abets evil but is not, himself, evil; trotting-out all the 30s-Nazi observations falls upon
deaf-ears, as a sense of deep-rooted neo-isolationism prevails *no matter what reasoning is invoked+.

Brief mention is made of two flicks that have opened last week [A Most Wanted Man,
the last movie of Philip Seymour Hoffman for which he will be a good-bet to win a
posthumous Oscar] and this week [The Giver, which Opened Soft]; the former was
viewed on Friday and the latter will probably be viewed next weekend. After the movie,
a companion helped me appreciate the import of both the flick and the reviews thereof;
it was concluded that international espionage begets betrayal, despite the highest of
motives and careful execution. One review of THE GIVER' REVIEW was that of a MOVING
CAUTIONARY TALE OF AMERICA'S SLIPPERY-SLOPE TOWARDS 'UTOPIA' [but, actually, it
seems it depicts a dystopia+; the question has been raised as to Why Harvey Weinstein
is Backing this Pro-Life, Anti-Nanny State Film that has been praised by Laura Ingraham;
my guess is that people are increasingly incensed with how BHO grew Big Government
to 1984-like proportions [and inherent fears]. Here is another sorta-positive REVIEW:
This is a very respectable movie that teaches a lesson about how life, freedom, risk,
reward, and pain are inextricably linked and, if some allegedly benevolent dictatorship
comes up with a way to get rid of the pain, all the other things are erased,
too. Unfortunately, it's not as entertaining as the best of the young-adult fiction that
caught fire after this story was written.

Levity: American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, Tina Cleveland, and
her fianc, Paul Sirimarco, had some fun in their car with a sing-a-long
dance party to Youre The One That I Want from the musical Grease.

It is alleged that the Abington Township, PA Police [where I live] conducted an unlawful
search: *NO WEAPONS FOUND* In the morning of August 16
th
, 2014, an Abington
police officer pulled-over a car in front of the house of the passenger in the rear seat.
The cop stated to them that he was going to search the vehicle and them without their
consent. After he told the officer he did not consent to a search, the guy with the
camera recorded the interaction. He was told to drop the camera; the officer turned it
off (as seen in video), claimed he had a weapon (despite the fact that he does not own
any weapons), tackled, handcuffed, and finally searched him (without consent).

{The prior six months entries *anti-BHO+ will be added *focusing on BHOs Scandal-Sheet and the
effort to defund ObamaDontCare, spotlighting Cruz+.} More than 3000-pages have been composed
during the past year, and the reader is invited to ID any internal contradiction *for there arent any!+.

Last night, an update of the Senate-handicapping was completed with my son, starting
with the data available @ Real-Clear-Politics; to varying degrees, more recent data have
been factored-in [all of which appear to support R>D] citing Louisiana as an example
[High-Flying Landrieu Orders 'Review' of Her Taxpayer-Funded Chartered Flights and
Owner Of Charter Flight Company Won't Confirm Landrieu Claim]. Without expending
excess energies wandering to other sites [Nate Silver, WaPo, NYTimes, etc.], note that
the two R-seats coveted by Dems [Kentucky and Georgia] are increasingly safe for the
GOP and that, because this yields a total for the Rs of 48 seats, the Senate would be
flipped by winning three of the seven toss-up R-states: consider:

In Kentucky, PPD [Dem-financed] polled from 8/7-8/10 (recently) and
found McConnell +5.
In Georgia, InsiderAdvantage polled from 8/12-8/13 (very recently) and
found Perdue +7.
*
In Alaska, once Tuesdays unpredictable primary results are known, the
three candidates competing for the GOP-nod will coalesce, yielding
dominant support for the winner; during recent days, for example, Joe
Miller was endorsed by Sarah Palin and Mark Levin.
In Arkansas, PPD [Dem-financed] polled from 8/1-8/3 (recently) and
found Cotton +2.
In Colorado, CBS News/NYT/YouGov polled in the past, from 7/5-7/24,
and found Udall +4; yet, the same folk who tossed Dem-Senators who
voted for gun-laws will undoubtedly attempt to bring Colorado a more
conservative Senator.
In Iowa, CBS News/NYT/YouGov polled in the past, from 7/5-7/24, and
found Ernst +1.
In Louisiana, CBS News/NYT/YouGov polled in the past, from 7/5-7/24,
and found Cassidy +1.
In Michigan, Mitchell Research polled on 8/5 (recently) and found
Peters +1.
In North Carolina, Rasmussen Reports polled from 8/5-8/6 (recently)
and found Tillis +5.

Thus, if current trends continue and the nominally-blue states stay Dem while the red-
states *that mostly voted for Romney+ would flip to the Rs, yielding a 52-48 R-margin.

High-profile Dems [such as 'SNL' ALUM JOE PISCOPO] are PUBLICLY becoming Republicans] and Dems
are Trying to Break the GOP Wave in States because they are mostly-Repblican; Obama's dismal
approval ratings jeopardize Dem control of the Senate and destroyed any chance the party had of
reclaiming the House. If Obama's ratings remain at near-record lows, Dem hopes of clawing back some
of its 2010 losses in Governors' races could also be dashed. While almost all national attention is focused
on Congressional elections, some states have critical gubernatorial elections that will impact the 2016
landscape. {It would seem BHO is headed for another shellacking!} Invoking the Law and Order slogan
*popularized by RMN as he targeted burbs+ Could Help Republicans Win in Novemberand 2016.

This Poll encapsulates the atmosphere: Voters Most Interested in the Election Break for
GOP - A new Fox News poll finds Dems with a 7-point lead over Republicans in the
generic ballot. When asked which party they would vote for if Congressional elections
were held today, 46% of voters answer Democrat while 39% pick Republicans. Among
those voters interested in the upcoming election, however, Republicans edge Dems by a
single point, 45-44%. This 8 point swing towards the GOP is the "enthusiasm gap," on
which the November elections will turn.

This is why I have been laboring to establish ASAP a PA-Chapter [with selected county-level subchapters]
of the Log Cabin Republicans; even the WaPo recognized that Social conservatives are becoming
politically isolated, as the Republican Party increasingly is dominated by libertarians. Yet, as noted by
Jonah Goldberg, it is vital not to lose sight of the GOPs ethical moorings; as the partys tent is
enlarged, it must capture the thrust of the ideas of those who worry about societal disintegration.
Ultimately, however, the need for Big Government to become unobtrusive must be based on the intent
simply to exclude it from all rooms of a private home *including, in particular, the bedroom+.
Illustrative of this goal is citation of a topic thats near/dear to my heart *as an anti-tobacco activist since
the 1970s+: GIBRALTAR'S CIGARETTE SMUGGLING EPIDEMIC IS ALLEGEDLY THE FAULT OF BIG GOVT
AND 'HEALTH' CAMPAIGNERS. Thats why, for example, the Dems who are pushing to restrict e-cigs
[despite their only being hot steam-delivery devices, supplying nicotine without CO/tar] are public
health hazards.

Meanwhile, BHOs domestic-antics alienate everyone except for his loyal-base [Judge
Demanded Answers After IRS Contradicted Sworn Testimony and a PHOTOGRAPHER
DELETED OBAMA DANCING PHOTO AFTER GOING VIRAL and watch why Obama's
'vacation from hell' went south; the plan to snag two weeks off in Marthas Vineyard
is an utter failure [justifiably] noting that, As the World Boils, Fingers Point at BHO. Yet,
A RINO lamented BHO Will Face '20-to-30 Years of Disparagement' from Ex-Staffers and
Obama claimed I'm Not That Powerful. Illustrative of his profound pacifism [detailed last
week] was his absence [along with that of Biden/Hagel] from this weeks funeral for
the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam.

In PA, a few events suggest increasing hope that the GOP can right itself within the next three months
[AG KANE'S NEW PRESS SECRETARY CHANGED HIS MIND; Poll: Large majorities of PA voters support
increased investments in US energy infrastructure; and Chaka Fattah Jr. pled not guilty in fraud case]
while reminders abound regarding weaknesses within the GOP [Chairman: Liquor, wine prices not rising
in PA; and every time Penn State comes-up, in any context]. Some claim Corbett could still win, although
the best medicine may be humor [PA politicians raise $25K for charity with bad jokes; Bykofsky's
Comedy Night fundraiser surpasses half a mil; and Politicians Try Humor at Philly Charity Fundraiser].
Having attended this event twice in the past, it should be noted that a good, relaxing time is shared.

Regarding gun-laws, it was reported nationally that, in PHILLY, a Man got a loaded gun
into a federal building and an FBI office with a fake police badge; in the wake of protests
in Missouri, a Dem is pushing a Ferguson gun bill [prior to knowing the key-facts] while
Store Owners 'Use Their Own Guns' As Police Back Away In Ferguson. Meanwhile,
Giffords and Mark Kelly's Gun Control Group Now Pushes Temporary Gun Confiscation
and, illustrative why gun-control tends to empower the perp, note that Court Records
show that an Illegal Alien Had Girlfriend Buy Him a Handgun and that a Carjacker was
Shot and Killed After Throwing Female Driver to the Ground. Finally, know that
Billionaires, Millionaires 'Pouring Money' into Washington State Gun Control Initiative.
Just as I suggested hospitals either install metal-detectors or forego being gun-free,
note that looting should prompt reassessment of the appeal of 'gun free zones.''

Regarding the latest race-rioting, it seems the Dems are politicizing the idea that local police entities
shouldnt be so well armed *despite the fact that they were criticized years ago for over-dependence
upon state-intervention]; note how key-data are emerging:

A note from a self-described *reflecting my view+ incorrigible lib [annotated]:

Agreements on some topics will not move me to support "your" party. One cannot
count on the following election to get rid of those with whom you disagree after the
next one. Once ensconced, politicians are very hard to displace as you have seen with
so-called RINOs in many races.

This is true, particularly noting how dangerous BHO has proven himself
to be; but note two considerations. First, BHO is such a disaster that he
must be deprived of as many support-systems as possible, ASAP.
Second, in PA, each governor [after serving two terms] has been
replaced by one of the opposite party; this provides precedent.

There are considerations other than current foreign policy needs and immigration. Take,
for example, Supreme Court nominees or social welfare problems. If some social
programs move to the states as you would advocate, such a transition would destroy a
very robust federal safety net. That would happen under Rs, given likely Tea Party
opposition if for no other reason to cut budgets.

This presupposes that there is agreement BHO has been disastrous on current
foreign policy needs and immigration; the next task is to show that his
integrated pacifism infests all of his principles, but, regardless, the key-worry is
the SCOTUS [the major mechanism by which a POTUS leaves a legacy]. It must
be appreciated that the major motivation for moving most domestic programs
to the state-level is constitution-based; we are a half-century remote from when
Ike promoted the national highways as necessary were America to be prepared
for warfare. This is, indeed, c/w the philosophy of the TEA Party Movement.

And of course there is energy wasted, in my view, on discussing the supposed "rights" of
the unborn child; this is another view that will not change. Even if, as you suggest,
nothing is amended federally, things are happening in the states. Besides, it is a
significant distraction from other issues that matter, especially if you are correct that
policies won't change. While you may have views that I can tolerate in this regard, you
have not at all convinced me this is a majority opinion in your crowd. Further, I have no
reason to believe that early access to birth control - as opposed to ineffectual focus on
abstinence - would be advocated.

The recent WaPo article [vide supra] illustrates how, within the GOP,
the libertarians are dominating the social-conservatives; furthermore,
all SCOTUS-justices either voted for Casey v. Planned Parenthood or
pledged during confirmation-hearings that Roe is stare decisis
[settled law]. And if it is conceded that these issues will [properly] be
addressed on the state-level, there should not be a problem with the
senate flipping to the Rs. *This applies to all social-policy concerns,
notably abortion and gay marriage; the latter (except for one recent
decision) is trending towards liberality (as per the SCOTUS decision).+
Finally, to illustrate why this parameter should not be weighted, note
that the Church opposes Capital Punishment along with most libs/Dems
[again showing it is sympatico with the libs on seeking open borders].

And you will never get me to accept a gun in every household mentality.

This mentality doesnt exist within the GOP; everyone should be able to
exercise their second-amendment rights to engage in self-defense.

And you'll never get me to accept there is a terrorist on every corner. While it may be
nave, I will not live my life in fear. If we are so concerned about the potential for unrest,
actively support programs that address urban violence - that is a known and very clear
threat to our societal fabric. We have not found a solution to Black-on-Black crime, for
example. It may not be a federal problem to ultimately fix, but it is a federal imperative
to assess what works and what doesn't and to create support for model programs.

The two considerations are mutually-exclusive; your law-enforcement
model against Islamic Terrorism was disproven under Clinton [c/o Jamie
Gorelick], yielding 9-11; and note how well Rahm is doing in Chicago in
tackling your goal. They declared WAR on America, and we must act!

only by creating long-term stability in Iraq. A similar situation exists in Syria. Yet the
president has long resisted intervening there ... [I]n the long run America is unlikely to
be able to destroy or even contain militant jihadism without involving itself in Syria. Mr.
Obama's new approach in Iraq seems to be working. But more decisive action against
the jihadists will be needed. The Americans are back on the ground, and they will be

Selected Daily Alert Articles:

Iran's Favorite Palestinian Terrorists - Qassem Suleimani, commander of the Revolutionary
Guards Quds Force who is known as the point man for Iran's military and covert operations
outside its borders, publicly pledged support for Palestinian fighters on July 30. Then he named
five specific groups. The Qassam Brigades are the military wing of Hamas. The Al-Quds Brigades
are the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Nasser Salahuddin Brigades are a breakaway
faction from Fatah that refused to accept the Oslo Peace Agreement. The Al Aqsa Martyrs
Brigades are the official military wing of Fatah. The Abu Al Mustapha Brigades are the armed
wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). By spreading support across the
different groups, Iran's leaders may hope to incite a continued war of attrition against Israel.
Indeed, several reports suggest that the latest Gaza war did not begin with Hamas, but with
other groups firing rockets until Israel retaliated and Hamas was forced to join in.

Israeli Forces Praise UAVs in Gaza Op - The Gaza war marked the first time the soldier-launched
Skylark (SkyRider) mini-UAV was used in quantities for high-tempo support of ground forces,
said Brig. Gen. Roy Riftin, IDF chief artillery officer. "Every brigade - even the reserves - got at
least two air vehicles and flew them nonstop, at the same time," he said. Some 18 systems flew
hundreds of hours, generating intelligence and streaming target-acquisition data to myriad
shooters on the ground. "It was phenomenal; a real asset," Riftin said. They also "served up
targets of opportunity for Tammuz," the officer said of th electro-optic, precision strike system
operated by IDF gunners.

Hamas Cheerleaders: Professional Failures of the Western Media in Gaza - The continuous
dissemination of inaccurate data on civilian casualties by the Western media represents a major
professional failure. Interestingly, Chinese and Indian networks exposed the relevant context so
missing from the Western media coverage - the unprecedented Israeli efforts to minimize civilian
casualties and the systematic use of civilians as human shields by Hamas. Who would believe
that CCTV, the communist-run Chinese television network, would cover Gaza in a more balanced
way than the British BBC? This suggests that the Western media is biased against Israel.
The distorted and misleading coverage of the Gaza conflict contributed to the hasty calls made
by political leaders, UN officials and NGOs to prosecute Israel for war crimes. It also contributed
to the mass hate demonstrations in Europe and to the sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents. Given
the systematic, biased and inaccurate coverage of Gaza in the Guardian and the Independent, it
is not surprising that Britain has become the world center for hatred and anti-Israel
demonstrations and boycotts. The Western media betrayed their audiences who deserve to
receive accurate information on Gaza. They should be held accountable for skewed coverage.

Gaza and the Rise of Anti-Semitism - The board of London's Tricycle Theater delivered an
ultimatum to the organizers of the UK Jewish Film Festival, which it has hosted for the last eight
years: either cut your ties with the Israeli embassy or find another venue. The theater has made
a bad error of judgment. The Israeli embassy in London represents Israel itself, its society and its
people. It was this connection with Israel that the UK Jewish Film Festival refused to give up.
That reflects something crucial about contemporary Jewish identity: that most Jews feel bound up
with Israel. To demand that Jews surrender that connection is to tell Jews how they might - and
how they might not - live as Jews. Such demands have an ugl history. They are not the proper
business of any public institution, least of all a state-subsidized theater.

Drawing Conclusions From the Myth of Middle East Moderates
By Jonathan S. Tobin

,This debunks the most cogent effort to rationalize BHOs Middle East Paradigm.-
In todays Washington Post, that inveterate peddler of foreign policy conventional
wisdom Fareed Zakaria tells a great truth about the myth of Arab moderation. That he
does so in order to cover up for the failures of President Obama and while also hedging
his bets about the Palestinians does not detract from the general truth of his thesis.
Zakaria is merely stating what has long been obvious to critics of the political culture of
the Arab and Muslim world. In that toxic environment, moderation is political poison
and extremism, especially of the Islamist variety has become mainstream. As Zakaria
rightly notes, the dynamic that has brought ISIS to the brink of overrunning Iraq has
been manifested throughout the Middle East over the last generation as Islamists have
become more powerful and their so-called moderate opponents have become less
moderate as well as unpopular.
The purpose of this Obama cheerleaders detour into reality is not, however, to debunk
the fantasy that Israel must make concessions to the Palestinians in order to strengthen
their moderates. Nor is he seeking to pour cold water on those promoting the delusion
that Irans leaders are becoming more moderate and that justifies American
appeasement of Tehrans nuclear ambitions. Those are two fallacies that Zakaria is
perfectly happy to continue promoting in his writing and on the bully pulpit he occupies
on CNN.
No, the only reason that Zakaria is interesting in shooting down the idea of Arab
moderation is because that is a convenient way to defend the Obama against the
criticisms lodged against him by Hillary Clinton last week in her Atlantic interview with
Jeffrey Goldberg. Clinton rightly noted that an early and vigorous Western intervention
in Syria would have probably toppled the brutal Assad regime. But even more
importantly, the chaos that stemmed from the protracted civil war there led to the rise
of ISIS, a vicious Islamist terror group that has overrun parts of Syria and much of Iraq.
But Zakaria is determined to absolve Obama and therefore declares that there were
never any real moderates in Syria and that any Western intervention would have been
in vain. Like the president, whose alibi for a record of almost unbroken foreign policy
failure during his time in office is that the world is a complicated and confusing place he
cant be expected to do much about, let alone fix, Zakarias response to Syria is to throw
up his hands and to say that nothing could be done.
To be fair, the Syrian opposition was never very impressive and is now totally
overshadowed by the extremists in the field against Assad. But to assert that inaction
was the only reasonable option in Syria is to promote a different kind of myth. History is
fluid, not set in stone. As uncertain as the situation in Syria was three years ago, theres
little doubt that Assad was on the ropes and, like Muammar Qaddafi in Libya, would
have fallen if Obama (who kept predicting the demise of that regime) had acted. While
it is possible the country would have descended to chaos as was the case in Libya where
the presidents lead from behind style led to disaster, could it have been worse than
what is happening now, with the country divided between Irans ally Assad and Islamists
who are also threatening to take over Iraq?
But even if we leave the Syria out of the discussion, whats most disappointing about
Zakarias truth-telling about the missing Muslim and Arab moderates is that even as he
tries to debunks Clintons criticisms of Obama, he refuses to connect the dots between
his thesis and the presidents Middle East policies that he has supported.
Zakaria insists that Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is a genuine moderate.
But, if he was being consistent or had a shred of intellectual integrity, he would note
that the same dynamic that has driven other moderate regimes to extremism has
applied to Abbas as well. Abbas talks like a moderate at times when speaking to
Westerners or left-wing Israelis. But his refusal to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish
state no matter where its borders are drawn or to denounce Palestinian Islamists gives
the lie to the talk about his moderation, although even the Israeli government regards
him as a necessary evil these days.
Zakaria also distorts the truth when he says the reason why there have been no
Palestinian elections in recent years (Abbas is currently serving the 10
th
year of a four-
year presidential term) is that the Israelis and the West have postponed them. That is
nonsense even though hes right when he says there is good reason to believe the
Hamas terrorists might win. The autocratic and utterly corrupt Fatah run by Abbas
needs no prompting from the Israelis or the Americans to act to protect themselves
from the trappings of democracy.
But the main failing of Zakarias piece is that he refuses to draw the proper conclusion
from his correct diagnosis about the failure of Arab moderation. If it is a fantasy to
imagine that there are no moderates who can make peace with the Jewish state and live
with the West without resorting to terror or nuclear blackmail, then it behooves the U.S.
to stop trying to hammer the Israelis into making dangerous concessions that will only
strengthen Hamas in Gaza. It would also be good reason for Obama to sober up about
the prospects of dtente with Iran and to realize that rather than loosening sanctions on
Tehran, tougher ones along with a credible threat of force is the only way to avert the
nuclear threat.
For Zakaria, Arab and Muslim moderation is a myth. But only a myth when it serves the
purpose of absolving Obama from his responsibility to lead, not when it comes to
pressuring Israel or appeasing Iran.
Update: This afternoon, The Washington Post responded to complaints such as the one I
made about Zakarias wrongly blaming Israel for the failure to hold Palestinian elections.
It reads as follows:
An earlier version of this column erred in stating, the Israeli
government and the West have happily postponed elections in the West
Bank. The elections have been postponed by the Palestinian Authority.
