"If progress is believed possible, it will likely be sought; & if it is looked for, there is some possibility of finding it...   The assumption that continual progress can occur may also create an atmosphere which encourages uncovering ideas or recognizing them when stumbled upon...   Conversely, if betterment is not believed possible, then the incentive to seek improvement is reduced, & an atmosphere of maintaining the status quo is encouraged." --- Winfred B. Hirschmann 1964-01-?? "Profit from the Learning Curve" _Harvard Business Review_ pp 134-136 (quoted in Michael Rothschild 1992 _Bionomics_ pg 197)

Steve King puts RINO losership on notice: most congressional Republicans oppose a speaker who favors open borders, low- or no-standards for visas, excessive visas
"A recent Pew poll found that only 7% of Republican voters want there to be more immigration into the United States.   According to a poll from Kellyanne Conway, 80% of GOP voters think new immigration into the U.S.A. should be reduced by 90% or more.   Across all voters -- Democrat and Republican -- Conway's poll shows that only a microscopic 4% agree with Paul Ryan that any willing employer should be able to hire any willing worker regardless of where they live—the open borders credo.   As Ryan put it, we need to 'have an open system where...the work that won't be done by people who are already here can be filled by the people who want to come here and do those jobs'.   'We want an economic based immigration system where...labor and supply and demand can meet each other.', Ryan has said [leaving tacit his view that the meeting should be at an artificially depressed price]..."
Conservative HQ comments: "If the roles were reversed, and an anti-amnesty Democrat was working with Steve King to stop immigration, there is no chance anyone in the media, the Democrat establishment, or the punditry would tell progressive activists to embrace an anti-amnesty Democrat Speaker."

Trey Gowdy: new e-mail messages connected with the 2012-09-11 terrorist attack on the USA consulate at Benghazi show a "disconnect" between DC and the security needs at the consulate
"Representative Trey Gowdy (R-SC), described e-mails from ambassador Chris Stevens to the State Department requesting more security almost from the moment he arrived in Libya.   The request virtually crossed paths with one Clinton's staff sent to Stevens, asking the new ambassador to read and respond to an e-mail from a Clinton confidant, according to Gowdy.   At another point, Clinton aide Victoria Nuland asked Stevens for advice on 'public messaging' on the increasingly dangerous situation in the region, Gowdy said.   'He didn't need help with (public relations), and he was asking for more security.', Gowdy said on CBS's 'Face the Nation'.   Gowdy refused to release the emails on Sunday.   But he said they point to 'the total disconnect between what was happening in Libya with the escalation in violence -- that we were a soft target, that there was an increase in anti-Western sentiment... while Washington is asking him to read and react to a Sidney Blumenthal e-mail and help on how to message the violence'..."

flash-back: Yebbie Booosh admitted the leaky immigration system led to the terrorist attacks on 2001/09/11
"...However, a review Jeb Bush's 2013 book _Immigration Wars_ reveals that Jeb Bush himself agreed with Trump's argument and admitted that our 'leaky' immigration policy was responsible for the attack.   Bush wrote: 'In addition to the Mexican drug cartels, the fact that several of the 2001/09/11 terrorists entered the country lawfully under a leaky immigration system has heightened national security concerns—so much so that immigration enforcement has been placed under the Department of Homeland Security [DHS].'   Indeed, all of the the nineteen September 11th hijackers were voluntarily imported into the country on visas issued to them by our federal government.   Almost all of the visas were issued in the predominantly Muslim country of Saudi Arabia.   4 of the 2001 September 11th hijackers -- Zacarias Moussaoui, Satam al Suqami, Nawaf al Hamzi, and Hani Hanjour -- were visa over-stays.   In a block-buster 2002 report, National Review's Joel Mowbray acquired the visa applications of 15 of the 19 hijackers and exposed how every single one of their applications should have been flatly rejected...   Although four of the 2001/09/11 hijackers were visa overstays, senator Rubio authored legislation that would have legalized visa [over-stayers] and would have made them American citizens.   At the same time, Rubio voted against a visa tracking system offered by his Republican colleague senator David Vitter (R-LA), which sought to prevent future foreign nationals from illegally over-staying their visas.   Rubio has also expressed support for expanding the resettlement of Muslim immigrants—on top of the annual 280K Muslim 'migrants' the [United States of America] admits annually, which includes 100K Muslim immigrants who are brought in on green cards and will eventually be able to bring in their family members and vote in U.S.A. elections..."

Arthur Miller: communist playwright
American Spectator
"...As often noted by Harvard's Richard Pipes and the Hoover Institution's Robert Conquest, few things have animated liberal animus quite like anti-communism.   It's not that [squishy leftists] have been pro-communist so much as they are anti-anti-communist.   They dislike anti-communists more than they dislike communists.   Their preferred demon isn't Joe Stalin but Joe McCarthy.   As James Burnham, the great ex-communist, put it, 'for the left, the preferred enemy is always to the right'.   But this does not suffice to describe Arthur Miller.   Miller was not only anti-anti-communist; he was pro-communist.   More than that, Arthur Miller had been a communist.   And that's something that students in their public schools and in our woeful universities had not and still will not learn as they are spoon-fed Miller's left-wing morality plays...."

don't expect truthful headlines when reading DHS press releases
"The Department of Homeland Security press release that went out Friday afternoon -- the time a skilled pressie knows that readership will be low -- carried this headline: 'DHS proposes changes related to on-the-job training program for STEM students'.   The word 'change' is correct, but there is no training in this program.   It is just one more foreign worker program and it has nothing to do with students; it is for recent alien college graduates.   A much more accurate headline would have been: 'DHS Proposes Bonuses for Employers Who Hire Aliens Rather than Citizens'.   The so-called Optional Practical Training (OPT) program currently gives all recent alien college graduates a one-year-long, after-graduation work permit.   If the alien student has majored in any of the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math), as many of them do, he or she gets an additional 17 months of permitted work.   During these periods U.S. employers are given a substantial bonus for hiring an alien college grad rather than an American college grad with the same skills and the same salary; I figure it can be above $10K in many cases involving STEM workers.   Why does the 10 grand bonus go along with the decision to hire the foreign worker?   DHS, by defining a recent college grad as a student, takes both the worker and the employer out from under pay-roll taxes -- thus penalizing the [Socialist Insecurity] and Medicare trust funds directly, and our elders indirectly.   Congress did not make this decision, at least not directly; but since foreign students and their employers have privileges denied to citizens and green card holders alike, the bonus has been created.   In the current document, DHS proposes to extend the additional 17 months for STEM workers to 24 months; thus from a total period of 29 months to 36 months, about a 20% increase.   If the bonus given to employers for hiring a STEM graduate is worth $10K under the old rules, it is now worth $12K, and is that much more likely to cause an employer to hire a former F-1 student than a green card or citizen graduate.   I searched the proposed rule that appears in today's Federal Register for references to payroll taxes (FICA, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act) and found none.   I guess DHS does not want us to know about the generous tax break that both employers and aliens get from this program.   I find it intellectually dishonest not to mention this tax break in a long, extremely detailed document on this subject.   In a piece of window dressing, employers are barred from replacing U.S. citizen workers with OPT workers.   That's a tiny step forward, but the problem has rarely been replacement; it is the displacement of potential citizen workers by hiring alien ones.   Further, there is supposed to be a mentoring and monitoring program established to reduce abuses and to give the alien workers a better shake.   That's fine, but how is the University of Maine, say, going to mentor that former physics major now working in Hawaii?   Unfortunately the policing of this program is assigned to universities, which, in turn, are more or less supervised by the Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), much the sleepiest and least demanding of all the migration-control agencies."

thousands of illegal aliens who were convicted of falonies, are being released from prisons: will congressional action lead to thousands more being turned loose?
"...According to the Wall Street Journal, this is the first wave in a flow that may ultimately result in the release of 40K convicts.   The Journal cites officials who say that about 33% of those being released under the new sentence-reducing guidelines are alien offenders.   The Marshall Project has done a profile analysis of these prisoners based on U.S. Sentencing Commission data and projects the ultimate number of releases higher (46K), but estimates the number of aliens lower, at 25%.   Assuming accurate figures fall somewhere within the Marshall Project and Wall Street Journal projections, this means that between 11,500 and 13,200 serious alien drug offenders will soon be out of lock-down..."

"'The only I said, well, you know, he said we were safe.', Mr. Trump said, referring to a line from former Florida governor Jeb Bush in the second GOP presidential debate last month.   'Well, the fact is, we had the worst attack in the history of our country during his reign.   Jeb said we were safe during his reign.   That wasn't true.   And that's the only thing I pointed out.   And I'm not blaming anybody...   I'm not blaming George Bush.', Mr. Trump said.   'Although if you look at his three primary agencies, they hated each other.   They weren't talking.   It wasn't that they weren't talking by mistake.   They hated each other, and a good leader would have made sure they get along and they talk and lots of other things happened.   With all of that being said, I'm not blaming anybody, but the statement was made, at the debate...during my brother's reign, we were safe.   Well, we weren't safe because the World Trade Center came down and [nearly 3K] lives were lost, and lots of other bad things happened.', Mr. Trump said..."

wrong-headed Paul Ryan: my job as USA legislator is to put myself in the shoes of foreign people
"The video, uploaded by the Journal Times, shows Ryan at a July 2013 bilingual Hispanic Listening Session in Racine, Wisconsin.   At the meeting, Paul Ryan told a predominantly Hispanic audience that the job of a U.S. law-maker is to put oneself in the shoes of foreign nationals who want to come to the United States, then work to discover solutions to make their lives better...   Ryan's statement may strike some listeners as bizarre—many may think that the job of U.S. congressman ought to be to put himself in the shoes of his citizen constituents who elected him, giving their needs greater priority than the desires of someone from a foreign country.   Ryan's message, however, of prioritizing the needs and desire of foreign nationals who do not reside in the [United States of America], is in line with the thought process of those who support the principles of open borders -- i.e., a policy of allowing foreign goods and labor to freely and legally cross into and out of the country without interference...   In fact, the United States has the most generous immigration policy in the world.   Because of its vast admissions policy, [the USA] has 4 times more immigrants living here than has any other country on the planet.   As a result of our current federal policy of auto-pilot visas dispensations, each and every day the United States admits enough net immigrants to fill an over-crowded, metropolitan high school.   Every week, the United States imports enough immigrants to fill the Staples Center, where the Los Angeles Lakers play.   Every month, we resettle a number of immigrants that is nearly the size of the population of East Los Angeles.   Every year, we receive a population the size of Dallas.   Every 3 years, we add another entire city of Los Angeles made up of foreign-born immigrants.   In just Muslim immigration alone, the U.S. [government] gives more visas to Muslim migrants each year than there are Mulvaney voters in his district of South Carolina.   According to Pew Research, only 11% of Muslim Americans identify as Republican or leaning-Republican, making them one of the most reliable Democrat voting blocs in the country...   populist Republican thought leader, senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL). The Alabama senator argues that the job of a U.S. law-maker ought to be to represent his constituents—not special interest groups, big business donors, or other nations..."

Barack Hussein Obummer/Jeh Johnson DHS unabashedly biased in its new OPT proposal
"...If the USA indeed 'needs' the foreign students (DHS's phrasing on this point verges on desperation) to remedy a STEM labor shortage, why do these students need training?   The DHS/industry [executive] narrative is that the USA lacks sufficient workers with STEM training [while between one-third and two-thirds of US citizen STEM new-grads can't get STEM jobs, and] while the foreign workers are supposedly already trained.   And, if workers with such training are indeed needed, why won't these special mentoring programs be open to [US citizens]?   Why just offer them to foreign students?   Since DHS admitted that its motivation in OPT is to circumvent the H-1B cap, does that mean that if the ap were high enough to accommodate everyone, these same foreign students wouldn't need training after all?   [This is a] Very poor proposal, even by DHS standards.   Hopefully the judge in the case will see through it."

fences really do work
"I'm always amazed at people who question the effectiveness of walls and fences in deterring illegal immigration, terrorist infiltration and smuggling of all kinds.   It's not even a question of if they work.   It's simply a question of how much.   Take a look at Hungary this week and you'll get an idea of how much.   This summer, as many as 10K Muslim ['migrants'/ 'refugees'/ 'asylees'/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals] were streaming across the Hungarian border per day.   Last week, Hungary constructed a simple, inexpensive razor-wire fence.   The next day, the illegal border crossers totaled 41.   Now, obviously, ['migrant'/ 'refugee'/ 'asylee'/ invader/ terrorist/ cross-border criminal] crises can't be handled exclusively by fences.   They need to be addressed by other means as well, from humanitarian, diplomatic and policing aspects.   You often need to address the source[s] of the problem, too..."

Obummer backs politicized trivial nominee for "essential" inspector-general appointment he left empty for 6 years
"A senate committee chair-woman is torn between leaving the Department of the Interior's independent watch-dog post vacant, or confirming [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] nominee crippled by recurring allegations of 'playing games with congress'.   'I strongly believe that Interior needs a permanent [inspector general], and I'm disappointed the administration has let the position go unfilled for six and a half years.', said senator Lisa Murkowski.   The Alaska Republican is chairwoman of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.   'But I am also committed to ensuring that the individual we confirm is fully independent … The tenure that you have been involved with thus far in this position has been marked by controversy.'   [Obummer] nominated Mary Kendall for the Interior Department's inspector-general on June 4.   She has been both the acting and deputy IG since 2009.   Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility -- a non-profit activist group -- said Kendall 'politicized' investigations, 'focused on trivial matters', 'kept IG operations secret', and should not be confirmed as a permanent head, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported last week..."

Benjamin Netanyahu: Haj Amin al-Husseini had a hand in attempts to murder all Jewish people
"In a speech to the Zionist Congress late on Tuesday, Netanyahu referred to a series of attacks by Muslims against Jews in Palestine during the 1920s that he said were instigated by the then Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini.   Husseini famously flew to visit Hitler in Berlin in 1941, and Netanyahu said that meeting was instrumental in the Nazi leader's decision to launch a campaign to annihilate the Jews.   'Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews.', Netanyahu said in the speech.   'And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, If you expel them, they'll all come here.'   'So what should I do with them?', Netanyahu said Hitler asked the mufti, who responded: 'Burn them.' Netanyahu, whose father was an eminent historian...   'It certainly wasn't (Husseini) who invented the Final Solution.', Yaalon told Israel's Army Radio.   'That was the evil brain-child of Hitler himself.'   It is not clear what sources Netanyahu was relying on for his comments.   A 1947 book _The Mufti of Jerusalem_ and a newspaper report at the time said a former Hitler deputy had testified at the Nuremberg war crimes trials that Husseini had plotted with the Nazi leader to rid Europe of its Jews.   Husseini was sought for war crimes but never appeared at the Nuremberg proceedings and later died in Cairo...   The meeting between Husseini and Hitler in Berlin took place on 1941 November 28.   More than two years earlier, in 1939 January, Hitler had addressed the Reichstag and talked clearly about his determination to exterminate the Jewish race.   'To say that the mufti was the first to mention to Hitler the idea to kill or burn the Jews is not correct.', Dina Porat, a professor at Tel Aviv University and the chief historian of Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust museum, told Israel Radio..."
So, it's agreed that Haj Amin al-Husseini was a part of the conspiracy, though probably not the initiator.

an inconvenient history: the grand mufti, Hitler and the knife intifada
"Israeli prime-pinister Benjamin Netanyahu made a controversial statement as he was leaving for Germany on the role of Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem.   Netanyahu's statement suggesting that the idea of genocide against the Jews of Europe originated with the Mufti and not Hitler was overstatement, and quickly walked back by Netanyahu (but not before Netanyahu's political enemies had a field day with it).   But there is a silver lining in Netanyahu's [so-called] political gaffe -- people now are talking about the role of the grand mufti in the European genocide.   We have discussed the mufti's Nazi-sympathies and assistance here before, so it's not new to us.   But given the current 'Knife Intifada', in which the agitation to kill Jews is pervasive in Palestinian culture, it's clear that there is a direct line from the mufti's Nazi-affiliation to the Jew hatred that motivates the current conflict.   Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic tweeted out a link to this study from 2005, 'National Socialism and Anti-Semitism in the Arab World'...   Here is an excerpt..."

"In the sadistic era of fraudulent Hope and Change, inspectors-general inside the federal government have been kicked, neutered and starved of the authority and information they need to do their jobs.   It's transparently clear: [president Barack Hussein Obummer] loathes and fears independent watch-dogs.   Accountability is an empty talking point without whistle-blower protection and investigative autonomy.   That is why Capitol Hill must do everything in its power to stop the White House war on the public's ombudsmen.   Federal inspector generals across dozens of agencies are begging law-makers to grant them access to public records as guaranteed by the 1978 Inspector General Act.   The call for help comes as Obama administration obstructionists and cover-up operatives impede and downplay several key investigations into government corruption and malfeasance.   Last year, 47 of the nation's 73 federal IGs signed an open letter decrying the [corrupt Obummer regime's] stone-walling of their investigations.   The White House, they reported, had placed 'serious limitations on access to records that have recently impeded the work' of IGs at the Peace Corps, the EPA and the Department of Justice, and jeopardized their 'ability to conduct our work thoroughly, independently, and in a timely manner'..."

"...Some people might wish to argue about whether that is true or not, but no rational argument can be made on either side of this issue, because the words used are completely undefined.   Nor is [Hitlery Rotten Clinton] the only one who talks this way.   It is one of the many signs of the mindlessness of our times that all sorts of people declare that 'the rich' are not paying their 'fair share' in taxes, without telling us concretely what they mean by either 'the rich' or 'fair share'.   Whether in politics or in the media, words are increasingly used, not to convey facts or even allegations of facts, but simply to arouse emotions.   Undefined words are a big handicap in logic, but they are a big plus in politics, where the goal is not clarity but victory -- and the votes of gullible people count just as much as the votes of people who have common sense..."

"...Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), a GOP White House hopeful who has said that the Benghazi disaster disqualifies Clinton from the presidency, said that the witness needs to explain why so many nervous cables from the ground were ignored.   Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), now the chairman of the senate homeland-security committee, hoped for the same thing.   'We've seen the cables asking for additional security measures.', he said.   'Where did those stop? Who saw those? We've never gotten to the bottom of that.'   Johnson's view of a Clinton interrogation is unique.   In 2013, both he and Paul used perches on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to ask why the State Department initially suggested that the consulate attack was spontaneous, a protest gone wrong..."

another leftist media figure, Mika Brzezinski finally noticed disconnect between people she talks with and the rest of the country
"It might be apocryphal, but the famous quote attributed to Pauline Kael, the late film critic of the New York Times, is along the lines of 'how could Nixon have won? Nobody I know voted for him.'   Mika Brzezinski had her Pauline Kael moment on today's Morning Joe.   Mika declared herself 'really surprised' by poll numbers showing there are more Americans dissatisfied with [Hitlery Rotten Clinton's] response to Benghazi than there are people who think the congressional investigation into Benghazi is too partisan.   Said Mika: 'it's sort of like a disconnect I guess that I have with the people I talk to and the rest of the country'...   when it comes to Benghazi 'something happened there, something serious happened there', pointing out that before Benghazi, no ambassador had been murdered since 1979.   Give Mika credit for admitting to living in an elite bubble that is disconnected from the rest of the country.   The next step is to escape that bubble."

just the facts
"An objective observer would have to conclude that former secretary of State [Hitlery Rotten Clinton] and her partisans have obstructed justice from the moment jihadists attacked U.S.A. facilities in Benghazi, killing 4 Americans [on 2012-09-11].   Such obstruction seems likely to continue, not abate, when she appears Thursday before a House select committee established to investigate what led to, happened during and flowed from that attack...   The deliberate and years-long [Obummer-Clinton] policy of turning the Middle East over to Islamic supremacists not only got 4 Americans killed in Benghazi.   It continues to devastate the region and our national security interests there..."

FBI director James Comey admitted DHS & DoS will have no basis on which to vet "Syrian" "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylees"/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals... because he can't get his head out of his rear to think of any means other than data-base look-ups
"...House Homeland Security committee Wednesday... Ranking member representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS) asked Comey, '...Data-bases don't hold the information on these individuals...'... cirector of the National Counterterrorism center Nicholas Rasmussen... 'What we can do though is understand where the potential vulnerabilities are so that we're asking in the screening and vetting process the right kinds of questions [and training in reading people] to give our screeners and vetters the best possible opportunity to make an informed judgment.', said Rasmussen... '...there may also be the possibility that somebody decides to do something bad after being admitted through the process, but we do have a good system in place for the undertaking that we have made.', [DHS secretary Jeh Johnson] said."
Of course, they're not going to use polygraphs; in their minds that would be going too far, and, besides, not enough of them are trained in how to conduct an interview with those tools.   They're not even going to try to find the applicants' old neighbors, employers, teachers/professors, relatives, local police, landlords..., to interview them so as to attempt to get some impression of their reputations and character.   And, of course, they're not going to be keeping close enough tabs on 1K "Syrian" "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylees"/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals, let alone 10K or 200K or 250K, to spot a lot of trouble before force has been initiated by them, because in these guys' bubble, tracking all peaceful US citizens is much more important, than tracking the millions of aliens given visitor and business visas, the hundreds of thousands of student visas (which they leave to totally incompetent people with non-security incentives at the separate schools, colleges and universities), and the nundreds of thousandso of guest-work visas, and the just over 1M green cards (LPRs) they issue each year.   They're more eager to repeatedly and ever more extremely -- in direct violation of the 4th amendment -- violate the privacy of patriotic US citizens.

"...At that time the U.S. naturalization process was more decentralized than today.   Aliens were interviewed by INS staff members who decided whether citizenship should be awarded based on an interview.   There were no standardized tests, as there are now.   The approval rates, as a result, varied enormously from office to office.   Now there is a standardized test, a very easy one.   All the potential questions, together with their answers, are public.   A selection of the questions then is asked of the applicants.   Some aliens still fail it."

"Syrian" "child brides" seeking asylum increase, as do young girls gone missing

questions for Hitlery Rotten Clinton
World Net Daily
Washington DC Times
"At long last, Hillary Clinton testifies on the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, and her emails as secretary of state.   Here are some suggested questions.   Although these suggestions are based on the public record, we need to assume that the members of the House Benghazi committee have seen far more than the public has.   I have framed the questions in traditional cross-examination style, though I doubt that the politicians on the committee will have the self-discipline to adhere to it.   The theory of cross-examination -- particularly of a high-profile, intelligent, belligerent or ruthless witness -- is for the questioner to tell a story by asking questions that suggest answers that challenge the witness's version of events or impeach the witness's credibility.   The questioner's version of events must be based on credible evidence.   In a court-room, the questioner's audience for his version of the events is the jury.   In a congressional hearing, the audience is the American people.   I have publicly advised members of congress that they should not ask any questions of Clinton; instead, they should have a prominent attorney who is her equal in intellect and knowledge of the law yet is a fierce, experienced cross-examiner do so.   But the lure of TV cameras will probably cause the committee members to reject my advice.   As well, some of the committee members are lawyers, and the committee's chairman, representative Trey Gowdy, is a former federal prosecutor..."

Hitlery Rotten Clinton within 24-hours of the start of the attack on the USA consular facility at Benghazi, writing to the Egyptian prime-minister: we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the "film" [videos on evil YouTube]
"One hour after releasing a statement that suggested that 'inflammatory material posted on the Internet' might have some role in the attack that was then still in progress, Clinton told her family that two Americans had been killed in Benghazi by an al-Qaeda-like group.   That same night, she told the president of Libya that Ansar al Sharia was claiming responsibility.   The next day, she told the Egyptian prime minister: 'We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film.   It was a planned attack, not a protest.'...   Yet 5 days after the attack that killed 4 Americans, Susan Rice, who was then the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, went on five Sunday talk shows and gave the nation a different explanation.   'Based on the best information we have to date', Rice said on CBS's 'Face the Nation' on 2012 Sept. 16, 'what our assessment is as of the present is in fact what -- it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video'...   Jordan noted that at 10:08 on the night of the attack on the U.S.A. mission in Benghazi, Clinton released a statement saying, 'Some have sought to justify the vicious behavior (in Benghazi) as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.'...   'This e-mail's at 10:35, 27 minutes after your 10:08 statement -- 27 minutes after you told everyone it's a video, while Americans are still fighting, while the attack's going on, your top people are talking politics.'..."
And all the while they were crafting talking points and dissembling, they were not making an effort to get USA forces to the consulate.

"One of the most shocking upsets [to some] in 2014 was the primary defeat of the powerful Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor by tea party candidate David Brat.   Brat was an under-funded unknown economics professor and yet battled successfully against Cantor's multi-million dollar campaign for reelection to Congress.   His young campaign managers, Gray Delany and Zach Werrell, have written a great book released this week titled _How to Bag A RINO_.   If these 2 men in their mid-20s could topple a Goliath of the GOP establishment, then why should congressional conservatives settle for putting another RINO in the Speaker's seat.   I am referring of course to Paul Ryan who has been crowned the designated next speaker by the GOP [losership].   When the main-stream media touts someone as an ideal Speaker who can reach across the aisle, watch out.   That person is a RINO.   The authors define RINO as '(n) Acronym, literally Republican in name only.   While they sometimes talk a good game on free markets, in practice they are dedicated to cronyism and shady deal making [i.e. surrender to the left rather than compromise for mutual benefit].   They tend to be sickeningly beholden to the left media -- and quick to be embarrassed by Republicans deemed too aggressively conservative and/or principled.'...   Republicans got elected to a majority in congress by voters who have been hoping they'd have the votes to repeal the abominable [ObummerDoesn'tCare], defund Planned Parenthood, cut taxes, increase funds for veterans and rebuild our military.   Instead we have John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, John McCain and other RINOs and consequently nothing [good] has been done -- same old, same old [leftists' regressive agenda].   We voters are all to blame for this.   If we bothered to take the time and a little trouble, we'd learn that RINOs are easy to spot and could have been ousted from office years ago.   Their voting records are on-line.   You Tube carries every remark and lie they've told in their public career.   That's what the authors did to Cantor; they ran ads showing his record and his broken promises.   Cantor had a conservative rating of F-minus.   They did all this on a shoe-string.   Imagine if the Koch brothers really wanted this country to rebound as it should, they'd be backing the most conservative tea party candidates running in all the states..."

House Republicans who support Paul Ryan will face energized challengers in primaries
"It's the Primaries, stupid!   [RINOs and their losership] who have rushed headlong to support Paul Ryan for speaker of the House might want to consider exactly what the environment for their primary election will be, come February, March and April when Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz -- who between them now hold about 70% of the Republican primary vote -- are knocking on doors and are running millions of dollars of TV against the very policies that Ryan has advocated.   It will be a toxic environment for the reelection of any member of congress who can be labeled [a RINO], and for many who have relatively conservative voting records, but who have failed to fight for conservative principles.   And with good reason the vote for speaker will be seen by many grass-roots limited government constitutional conservatives as a key litmus test as to whether or not a Republican member of congress is for conservative government, or has joined the establishment.   Based on his long-espoused support for amnesty for illegal aliens, expanded guest worker visas, [the toxic Obummer Trade package: TPA + TAA + TPP + TATIP + TISA] and a host of crony government deals, the election of Paul Ryan as speaker is likely to stoke, rather than assuage, the white-hot conservative anger bubbling at the grass-roots of the Republican party that has already begun to generate primary challenges for establishment Republicans who have voting records mirroring Paul Ryan's.   A dozen or so principled limited government constitutional conservatives have already filed or are actively exploring congressional primaries; Becky Gerritson in Alabama-2 (against incumbent Martha Roby), Frank Roche and Jim Duncan in NC-2 (against incumbent Renee Ellmers) and Russell Ramsland in TX-32 (against incumbent Pete Sessions) to name but a few..."

"'Gee, let's see freedom caucus-   you asked us to help you kick out the speaker of the house, then you asked us to do our homework on Daniel Webster.   You told me that this is who you needed and wanted.   I did.   I spent hours in conversations, study and prayer because YOU ASKED ME TO.   The listeners did too.   I put my credibility on the line for you because you asked me to.   Then you just pull out and go for the ROMNEY PICK?   You told US to stand up and fight.   We did.   Now YOU sell us out too?

A man who asked to be made king? 100% support and you can’t vote him out?   Your solution is MORE POWER FOR THE SPEAKER?!?!?!?   I am quite frankly pissed and I am guessing so is my audience.   This feels like a betrayal of everything you told us you needed, wanted and asked for.   Maybe you made some back room deal, (another violation of our trust) and I sure would like to hear the deal you made, but you have just jumped the shark.   I hope I am wrong, I hope you have an answer, I hope that you know what you are doing.   I hope your leadership has the guts to come on and face the millions of Americans that feel as I do tonight.   I hope one or more of you have the spine to stand up and tell us how you didn't betray our trust.   Understand, I will be the first to admit I am wrong if it works out your way, but I fear you have just lost the election, the party and any hope of holding on to the trust of those who support you.   But it seems to me that you just made a deal like Paul made a deal with McConnell and you see how that is working out for him.   IS THERE ANYONE THAT HAS THE BALLS TO SAY WHAT THEY MEAN AND MEAN WHAT THEY SAY? &bsp; Oh yeah. Ted Cruz, AND THE [RINO] WEASELS YOU JUST GOT IN BED WITH HATE HIM!...'   Beck is not the only conservative personality to oppose Ryan's potential bid for speaker.   Radio host Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin and Erick Erickson have all questioned whether [Ryan] was the man best fit for the job..."

Non-leftists will ease up on Paul Ryan... if he facilitates passage of immigration reforms (rather than reprehensible immigration law perversion like the 8 Gangsters' bill = S744 & 3I), and shepherds through a balanced budget which restores some constitutional spending cuts leftists' unconstitutional spending (e.g. Planned Parenthood, ObummerDoesn'tCare), cuts the debt ceiling and starts paying the debt down, stops talking about eliminating means of unseating the speaker, but, instead, makes it easier to unseat both the speaker and the majority and minority leaders of the House and senate.

former defense secretary Robert Gates describes Obummer-era military morale problem
"...'First of all, I think it is due to the substantial and growing cut-backs in the number of men and women in the military, so people in the military now are less confident that they will be allowed to remain in the military -- that in the force reductions, they will be turned out, in essence, be fired, particularly for those who have some years in and probably have families -- concerns about what they will do, if because of force downsizing they end up out in the civilian world again [in a time of high unemployment].   I think there is a morale problem that derives from a lot of the budgetary uncertainty in the sense that, as I suggested earlier, people who joined the military to fly airplanes, sail on ships or drive tanks are finding they don't have the same opportunities to do that anymore.   That's the stuff that made it fun, and that was one of the things that encouraged them to stay...   you go from mostly young men who have been out in Iraq and Afghanistan, and on these deployments they have this great sense of camaraderie and brotherhood with their fellow soldiers and Marines.   They have been given a lot of opportunity to operate independently and in an entrepreneurial way and be innovative and so on.   And they're being brought back and put in cubicles and asked to do Power Points...'"

cut out the "cycle of violence" trash-talk
"The Bennett family's day began with a prayer at 'the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism'.   It ended in the murder of the family's father, stabbed to death in the Old City as he attempted to save wife and son from the same fate.   A rabbi who rushed to the rescue was knifed to death, too.   22-year-old Odel Bennett found herself running for her life, a blade in her shoulder, as Palestinian on-lookers jeered and spat in her direction.   As widow Odel Bennett convalesced with her toddler at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, another Jewish woman (an elderly Iraqi) was recovering at Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek [righteous or merciful gates] Hospital from gun and knife wounds similarly inflicted.   Her husband lay in the morgue.   That couple's day started on a 'Jerusalem city bus, when 2 Palestinians attacked with knives and a gun', reported National Public Radio.   Surveillance camera footage uploaded to the Internet shows numerous Palestinian-on-Jew attacks in real time.   Waiting at a bus stop, these Arabs are wont to turn and plunge a knife into a Jewish neighbor's back, again and again and again.   Religious imprimatur for the current wave of attacks on Israelis comes from the highest authority in the Palestinian Authority and beyond.   In mosques across the Gaza Strip [i.e. Palestine] and the West Bank [i.e. Eastern Israel], clerics deliver sermons brandishing scimitars [and daggers and cleavers], inciting the faithful to 'form stabbing squads and cut the Jews into body parts'..."

murders by Muslims as politics: understanding the 3rd intifada
"Even as growing numbers of Palestinian terrorists stab madly at Israeli men, women, and children, much of the world still endorses creation of 'Palestine' [which has already been fully recreated where it was; Palestine=Gaza Strip].   Such mindless support continues, moreover, despite the fact that the Palestinians themselves reject any sort of 2-state solution.   Indeed, the latest such poll (2015 September), conducted by Palestinian research organizations, concluded that almost half the resident Arabs strongly favor the use of armed force and generalized violence against Israeli non-combatants.   For the most part, western news reports notwithstanding, knife wielding attackers are not 'lone wolves'.   Rather, they have been conspicuously spurred on by vitriolic PA incitements, and by carefully synchronized calls from the mosques to murder 'The Jews'.   The Palestinian Authority [associated with Fatah] shares with Hamas the irredentist vision of a one-state solution.   There is nothing hidden or ambiguous about this true plan for Israel's disappearance...   Already, ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate is operating in parts of Syria that could bring it to the critical borders of Israel's Golan Heights.   Significantly, it has also set recognizable operational sights on Jordan and [Eastern Israel]..."

"...Stephens finally ended the embarrassing silence.   He ignored the economic impact and focused on what is in truth the most important danger to which this migration contributes: the destruction of European civilization.   Stephens treats the immigrant invasion as what he calls 'a stiff breeze' in a civilization that has already lost its moral compass.   No longer believing in the sources from which their comfortable beliefs in human rights, peace, progress, spring -- Judaism, Christianity, the Enlightenment, capitalism, etc. -- they have lost the capacity for what Pope Benedict called 'self-love'.   Stephens is by no means the first to make this point.   Nobel Prize for Literature winner Imre Kertesz more than a decade ago identified 'suicidal liberalism' as Europe's dominant set of values, leaving it 'wide open to Islam'...   [Merkel] has been seeking a small immediate favor from Turkey -- stemming the refugee flow from its shores -- in exchange for major concessions that could only aggravate the problem in the longer run: visa-free entry to Europe for 75M Turks and forwarding Turkish membership in the EU.   Given that Turkey under Erdogan has become steadily more autocratic and contemptuous of the human rights the EU supposedly holds dear, and Merkel is trying to stem the Muslim tide into Europe, not pave the way for many millions more, this makes no sense..."

the #1 killer of black Americans
"It isn't heart disease, it isn't cancer, it isn't homicide and it isn't motor vehicle accidents.   In fact, the number one killer of black Americans is abortion.   Despite a lack of reporting by California, New Hampshire and Maryland, a total of 730,322 abortions were reported to the CDCP in 2011, the most recently published reporting year.   405,994 of these reported abortions included cross-classified race/ethnicity data for 2011, of which 146,856 were reported to be black American abortions, equaling about 36% of the total number of abortions with reported race statistics.   So, what do these numbers mean?   Let's break it down.   In 2011, 402 black Americans were aborted in America every single day.   However, in the same year, only 187 black Americans died per day from heart disease, 183 black Americans died per day from cancer, 21 black Americans were murdered per day, and 12 black Americans died per day in motor vehicle accidents.   That's a total of 403 black Americans deaths per day from heart disease, cancer, homicide and motor vehicle accidents combined, totaling 147,095 deaths that year..."

Why were the 2 special forces people who happened to be within a few blocks and rushed to try to defend the consular facility told to turn back?   Why weren't other military personnel and Diplomatic Security and CIA from Tunisia and Italy, and air support from Italy and elsewhere immediately deployed so that at least some of them could have reached the site during the 6-9 hours the battle continued to rage?   What was Clinton doing during those hours?   What was Obummer doing during those hours? & What were the military liaisons on station in the White House doing?... & And where were our Retiefs (diplomats at arms), when we needed them?

"...E-mail became popular in the early 1990s -- 2 decades after the communication form was first developed -- with the birth of the World Wide Web.   By the time Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, 247G e-mails were being sent every day, according to the Radicati Group's E-Mail Statistics Report 2009...   Representative Susan Brooks (R-IN) noted that Clinton's sending and receiving of e-mails relating to Libya had dropped significantly between 2011 and 2012 -- 795 e-mails between 2011 February and December, compared to 67 e-mails between early 2012 and the Benghazi attack that September..."

Hitlery Rotten Clinton's performance
"Those optimistic Republicans who thought Hillary Clinton would come before the Benghazi committee to ask forgiveness from the families of the 4 Americans killed by her dereliction of duty during the attack on our consulate, and then break down and also cop to personally shooting Vince Foster and accepting bribes through the elaborate ruse known as Whitewater, were unfortunately shaken from that warm dream by yet another set of well-presented Clinton evasions during yesterday's hearing.   Yes, Trey Gowdy and Jim Jordan did an excellent job of drilling down on some of Clinton's previous lies about what went on the day ambassador Chris Stevens, information-officer Sean Smith, and 2 former Navy SEALs, CIA operatives, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were killed.   Jordan did a great job pressing Clinton on the genesis of the story that the attack was a spontaneous demonstration against an obscure anti-Muslim video, instead of an intelligence failure of monumental proportion, followed by an [Obummer]-inspired attempt to obscure the fact that Islamists won another battle in the war they have declared [against the USA].   He accused Clinton of intentionally misleading the American people by trying to downplay the terrorism angle for political reasons ahead of the 2012 presidential election.   'You knew the truth, and that is not what the American people got.', Jordan said.   Clinton said there was conflicting information “that we were trying to make sense of'.   'There was not conflicting information the day of the attack.', Jordan countered.   'You're the ones who muddied it up.'   And representative Gowdy gave a cogent explanation of why the Benghazi committee exists and needs to continue its investigation: 'Even after an accountability review board and a half dozen Congressional investigations, these and other questions still lingered and these questions lingered because previous investigations were not thorough.   These questions lingered because these previous investigations were narrow in scope and either incapable or unwilling to access the facts and evidence necessary to answer all relevant questions.'   And Gowdy did a great job of drilling down on why ambassador Chris Stevens's many requests for increased security were rejected and pressing Clinton on why her long-time political advisor and confidant Sidney Blumenthal (who apparently had some business interests in Libya) somehow found his way into the middle of Libya policy discussions.   But Clinton gave no answers that weren't well rehearsed talking points, and the Democrats on the committee were quick to jump in and break-up any questioning that was taking Clinton in a dangerous direction.   The bottom line? Our take on Clinton's testimony is 2-fold.   First, the goal of the committee is supposed to be to find out what got ambassador Chris Stevens, information-officer Sean Smith, and 2 former Navy SEALs, CIA operatives, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods killed.   But after Clinton's testimony we appear to be no closer to pinning down the time-line and decision process that led to the decision to stand down and not send any military or para-military assistance to the besieged Americans in Benghazi..."
Which leads us to another question: Are Bill and Hitlery paid-up on their SAG dues?

fibs, lies, and whoppers in the Middle East
"A diplomat, as any deputy assistant associate undersecretary could tell you, is a public servant paid to lie for his country.   Lies are the hard currency in the land of the girly men.   The truth is rarely heard above the rattle and din of the teacups in the lounges and where the masters of the art gather to collect their strength after a long day's work in the vineyards of falsification, where Israel usually get the shaft plunged up to the hilt.   The knife has become the weapon of choice in the Palestinian war against Israeli civilians, brandished as if it were a holy scimitar of the avenging Allah.   The dean of a university in Gaza=Palestine characterizes this campaign of the short knives as 'military operations', and urges that it be aimed at women and children...   'There is no question', said Mr. Netanyahu, 'that this wave of attacks is driven directly by incitement by Hamas, incitement from the Islamist movement in Israel and incitement, I am sorry to say, from [president Mahmoud Abbas] and the Palestinian Authority.'   This was plain and unvarnished, what everybody knows to be true, but for reasons best known to him [president Barack Hussein Obummer] and his men (and women) won't say anything like that.   Perhaps they have a fear of cold steel in their ribs, too.   What Mr. Kerry offers is a can of diplomatic yah-yah from the archives of claptrap at the State Department..."

"...Other than supporting Israel, maintaining access to Gulf oil and resisting ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate and al-Qaeda, upon what do Americans agree?...   [The USA] is a nation divided, not only upon the means we should use to attain our ends in the world, but upon the ends themselves."
Today's "cause" is rebuilding the USA, restoring adherence to principles, restoring federalism, clarifying the proper roles of local and state and multi-state pacts and federal governments and the 3 branches (legislative, judicial, executive), mending the dysfunctional job markets, reducing corruption (including crony socialism), reducing foreign adventurism while maintaining honest trade and fending off assaults on intellectual property, paying down the federal and state government debts.

Paul Ryan is part of the problem
"How do I put this delicately?   By all accounts, Paul Ryan is a very nice fellow.   He's a good family man.   He's an impressive orator.   He's smart.   He's good-looking.   But he would be one of the very worst choices Republicans could make for speaker of the House.   Why do I say that?   The way I explain it to people outside the belt-way is this: He's a more attractive version of John Boehner.   He's a more articulate version of John Boehner.   He's a smarter version of John Boehner.   But make no mistake about it; he's every bit as much an establishment Republican as John Boehner.   He's bad on immigration.   He's bad on budget cuts.   He's bad on the debt [going along with Dem/leftist/Red unconstitutional over-spending].   He's bad on trade deals.   He's bad on confrontations with Dems/leftists/Reds that reveal their duplicity.   He was an architect of NOT de-funding [ObummerDoesn'tCare]..."

here's how the election for speaker of the House is likely to play out
"The House Freedom Caucus, the much ballyhooed last line of defense for conservatives in the House of Representatives is fast crumbling.   According to our inside sources, Paul Ryan, the preferred candidate for speaker of the House of [RINOs], and especially failed speaker John Boehner and his existing leadership team, as well as Democrats Harry Reid, Luis Gutierrez and a host of crony government [i.e. power-mad crony socialist] interest groups, went before the House Freedom Caucus and made a very persuasive and charming presentation during which he promised them...exactly nothing.   The result of Ryan's refusal to commit to reforming the House rules that have shut conservatives out of the legislative process in the House, and made the speaker a virtual dictator, and his refusal to drop his demand that the rules be amended to give him even more power by eliminating the 'motion to vacate the chair', through which Boehner was held accountable was that 26 members of the House Freedom Caucus voted to endorse him.   The vote left Ryan a few votes short of the required 80% for a formal endorsement by the Freedom Caucus, but the additional 26 votes puts him within striking distance of the 218 votes he needs to be elected -- despite his demands for near dictatorial power -- and if nothing [improves] Paul Ryan will be the next speaker.   A principled group of limited government constitutional conservatives are still supporting Florida representative Daniel Webster, and one of their leaders, representative Louie Gohmert of Texas said this of the growing support for Ryan: 'Since the beginning of this contested race for speaker of the House, it has been my pledge to support congressman Daniel Webster.   Dan is the only person I am aware of who has ever been a speaker anywhere and decentralized power to get it back in the hands of its members.   Speaker Boehner is no longer going to be speaker because he was too powerful, and I simply cannot vote for a candidate who demands more power before he agrees to be speaker.   I am a man of my word, and my support is still with Dan.   He is the person who can return power to its rightful place -- members who represent the American people.'   Here's what's going to happen if and when Paul Ryan is elected speaker.   There will be a review of the House Rules and the 'motion to vacate the chair' that was placed there by Thomas Jefferson to assure that no speaker could become a dictator -- and that was used to hold John Boehner accountable for his failures, lies and cave-ins will be eliminated.   All of the existing [RINOs] who have been behind John Boehner's misrule of the House will remain in their [losership] positions.   [RINO] Kevin McCarthy will remain House majority-leader, Steve Scalise, the embarrassing political hack who was outed for cozying up to the Ku Klux Klan will remain Republican Whip, Pete Sessions, the Boehner do-boy chairman of the Rules committee (who is rumored not to even live in his Texas district anymore) will remain in place to rewrite bills in the middle of the night before the vote and rule conservative amendments out of order, and all of the other House committee chairmen who have sat on conservative bills or killed conservative amendments in committee will remain in place.   In short, nothing will change.   [Nothing will be reformed.   Nothing will be improved.]   Principled limited government constitutional conservative Louie Gohmert of Texas put it this way in the same statement in which he reiterated his support for Daniel Webster of Florida for speaker: 'Chairman Ryan was a leader in pushing the Wall Street bail-out, supported Barney Frank's same-sex agenda, voted for legislation that would have allowed the District of Columbia to have a United States Representative, even though the U.S. Constitution clearly states that representatives shall be from the several States, and he is supported by some of the most liberal Democrats because of his amnesty stance.   Though chairman Ryan is smart, articulate, a great father and husband, our country is in trouble and sadly, he has been on the wrong side of extremely critical issues and indicates he requires more autonomy than even John Boehner.'   Amnesty for illegal aliens will be not just on the table, but the preferred alternative of the speaker of the House; 'economically driven immigration policy', leading to a vast increase in legal immigration will be the preferred alternative of the speaker of the House, Planned Parenthood and [ObummerDoesn'tCare] will be funded, a clean debt ceiling increase will be passed and crony government deals and bail-outs like TARP [and porkulus 1 and 2] will be the norm.   None of the issues that have driven grass-roots limited government constitutional conservatives into the white-hot fury that is powering the campaigns of Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz will be resolved favorably if Paul Ryan becomes speaker of the House.   Most importantly, there will be no conservative reform of the House Republican [losership], unless you believe that making Paul Ryan speaker, and giving him more power, somehow solves the problem of John Boehner having too much power and using it to marginalize conservatives.   There is only one chance left to stop this power grab by the political class, and that is for We the People speak out and demand that the House of Representatives be returned to its proper place in the constitutional order as the assembly of the peoples' representatives.   Members of the Freedom Caucus, the House Liberty Caucus, the Tea Party Caucus, the Conservative Opportunity Society and other conservatives still have the votes to stop Ryan and his plan to eliminate the last vestiges of democracy in the House of Representatives.   If the remaining patriots in their ranks will stand fast we can still win this fight.     But they need to hear from you NOW on the phone and through 'social media' and e-mail.     The easiest way to register your opinion is to call your representative's office through the House switchboard: 1-866-220-0044.     You can also use this handy list from Tea Party Patriots to call key Republican members of the House.     You can e-mail this video explaining Paul Ryan's background and agenda to your friends and contacts and ask them to join the battle and to contact their Representative.     You can also post to the House Freedom Caucus FB page to let them know what you think of their vote to all but endorse Paul Ryan.     Finally, you can sign the open letter to House Republicans signed by 55 conservative leaders demanding that the next Speaker pursue a conservative agenda and make good on the campaign promises Republicans made in 2014."

You Are Going To Get There Some Day
"And HASHEM said to Avram [Abram], 'Go for (or) to yourself from your land and from your birthplace and from your father's house to the place that I will show you!' (Breishis/be rashith/Genesis 12:1)   Here's a fundamental question!   Why is HASHEM suddenly speaking to Avram [Abram]?   There is no explicit information in the written record indicating what he had done prior to this point that would make him any more worthy of Divine communication, more than any other person!   This is not my question.   It's the question of the Ramban [R. Moshe ben Nachman, Nachmanides].   We know from the Oral Torah that Avram, from his earliest days was an original thinker and a seeker of truth.   There is plenty of literature and valid information to fill in the blanks but why is it conspicuously absent from the Chumash?   In a small but powerful piece, the Sefas Emes provides a revolutionary answer based on a quote from the Zohar, 'Woe to those who sleep in their holes, and Avraham Avinu [Abraham Abinu] heard and accepted!'   The implication of the Zohar, the Sefas Emes points out is that the those words -- that initial statement that started Avraham Avinu on his life’s mission and launched Jewish History was said to all of humanity.   Avraham was the only person in the world who heard it and was responsive.   It was not an exclusive message directed at one particular individual.   The Torah is not focused on his prior merit because HASHEM did not address him individually.   It was rather a broadcast made equally available to every soul and one man was mentally, emotionally, and spiritually fit to do anything about it.   He wasn't chosen!   He chose!   He was ready to choose!   He was ready!   That's the great praise to Avraham [Abraham]!..."

The Journey Through Life
"It is reported that Rabbi Nachman of Breslov constantly stated: Every step that I take on the face of this earth is towards Jerusalem.   God did not choose to inform Abraham as to how he would reach his life's destination.   Human beings have elaborate plans,...maps, detailed itineraries and many ideas as how to arrive at their sought after destinations.   Sometimes all of these plans do work out on schedule and successfully.   But many times Heaven mocks our futile efforts at controlling our destiny.   We state in our daily prayers that many are the thoughts and plans that lie in the hearts of humans, but only the wisdom and advice of God will prevail.   The greatness of character of our father and mother, Abraham and Sarah, is reflected in how they dealt with the vagaries of life, the disappointments and certainly the tragedies, while not losing sight of the goal and ultimate purpose of life itself.   The importance of keeping Abraham and Sarah constantly in the forefront of our minds and plans is of inestimable value in negotiating one's journey through life."

Making a Pitch for Shalom Beth (a harmonious household)
"According to the Sefer Nefesh HaChaim, the word Bracha is derived from the word 'Breicha' a pool.   That is, a Bracha is merely a source from which blessings flow.   HaShem, being the source of everything, causes all blessings to flow from his unending pool of benevolence.   It is a well known maxim that a healthy marriage is built on genuine respect for one another.   This responsibility starts with the man.   What the Gemara is teaching us is that if one truly honors his wife there will be Shalom Bayis [Shelum Beth] and the presence of HaShem (whose name is Shalom) will be within the home.   This is what will cause the blessings to flow.   If one only honors his wife to receive a reward she will actually feel disrespected as she is being used merely as a vehicle to receive reward and there will be no Shalom Bayis [Shelum Beth] and subsequently no blessings from Hashem.   It is fascinating to note that only 8 verses earlier in this week's portion (12:8) Rashi notes that Avraham pitched Sara's tent before his own, undoubtedly showing his respect for her.   Consequently Avraham [Abraham] receives much wealth '[because of her' in verse 12:17..."

illegal immigration and the "broken windows" policy of policing
"The [leftists, RINOs, and especially the GOP losership are] enraged and terrified at the prospect of Donald Trump's plan to [actually enforce current immigration laws]...   the troubadours of the elite order -- including Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer, George Will, Bret Stephens [MSLSD, CBS, abc, CNN, Bloomberg] and many others -- rarely make any reference to the vested interests of millionaire GOP donors when attacking Donald Trump.   They do not discuss the financial and legal difficulties that the wealthy donor class will encounter if Trump follows through on his plans to reinstate respect for the nation's immigration laws -- both at the border and within the U.S.A. (as so many Americans have been begging and pleading the government to do for a generation).   They don't even mention who these donors are, what businesses they own and how those businesses will be impacted (or, for that matter, which politicians depend on the money flowing from their coffers).   Not surprisingly, the arguments which the sirens of the powerful employ against enforcing existing immigration law don't mention business disruptions of amnesty of the donor class at all...   [To those people] The 1-in-4 unemployed young Black males of Detroit (for example) have not suffered any cruelty by the displacement of their jobs to foreigners who cut into the immigration line.   The father who waits in line with a sick child at an emergency room filled with people who have no right to be in the country possesses no moral counter in the cruelty equation. But [to these malefactors] sending illegal aliens back to their home countries is 'cruel'."

Benjamin Netanyahu's discussion of violence against Jews
"...Netanyahu might no doubt have formulated his remarks differently if he was not distraught by the Muslim terrorist attacks of recent weeks.   But his critics ignore the reality that his argument, if an exaggeration, was not a historical distortion, but a truthful indication that the former leader of the Palestinians had been responsible for a systematic incitement for more than 40 years from 1921 until after World War 2 for the extermination of Jews.   The implicit parallel with contemporary Palestinian leaders, both of Fatah and Hamas, refusing to make peace with the State of Israel is unmistakable.   In view of the violence and terrorist acts against Jews in Israel [including those parts of Eastern Israel long occupied by Palestinian Muslims which they call the West Bank] it is useful to remember the influence on the activities of current Palestinian leaders, by the past Palestinian leader (internationally held to be a war criminal), and the similar rhetoric and false allegations about Israeli intentions towards the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem of the past and present leaders..."
