can you reform a Muslim terrorist?
"...Can people brought up in a strict Islamic upbringing assimilate into American culture?...   The dirty little secret is that mental health professionals have not found a cure.   That is why the counseling sessions never end...   As Americans, it is hard to imagine what it would be like to grow up in an Islamic country.   And in the past few decades, being a child in an Arab country is different than it was before Jimmy Carter helped overthrow the shah of Iran in favor of the radical Islamic imam, Ayatollah Khomeini.   Carter gave radical Islamists their first Islamic state in the modern era.   Shortly after, he paid Iran $8G for the release of American hostages at the embassy in Tehran.   You forgot how big of a disaster Carter was, didn't you?   Before the fall of the shah, Muslims who emigrated from their homeland were educated professionals who were seeking opportunity in the West.   But for the past few decades, as secular leaders fell to radical Muslims, Sharia law was implemented and only Islamic life and law has been taught to people brought up in the Arab world.   The refugees who are migrating across Europe know only strict adherence to Islam.   In the Western world, we take for granted our love of life and liberty and think everyone else in the world is brought up the same way.   It isn't true.   We also take for granted Western religion and spirituality.   Most Americans believe in God and heaven, whether or not they're Christian.   And, depending on your beliefs, you think good works or the grace of God is your ticket into the pearly gates.   Islam does not guarantee a ticket into heaven except through one path: martyrdom.   Allah may choose non-martyrs for admittance into heaven, but being a martyr for Islam is the only guaranteed way...."

a death sentence for tens of millions
"On the concourse piano at the Gare du Nord in Paris, I played 'Armada Perdida', the haunting marche funèbre written by Tomás Luis de Victoria, the great Spanish counter-Reformation composer, to honor the 15K of his gallant countrymen who died when the fleet of Philip v of Spain was lost in a succession of violent storms off the coast of Scotland in the equinoctial gales of 1588.   Once it was clear to me, taking the voices in the dismal, crony-capitalist-sponsored sheds at Le Bourget private airfield, that the annual UN Christmas climate pantomime would follow its usual meticulously choreographed Nuremberg-rally course, I saw no point in waiting for the now-traditional by-popular-demand one-night extension of this freak-show, the ritual announcement of 'success' in achieving a Solomon Binding agreement or the luvvies' mwa-mwa hugging and junketing at the cast party in the fleshpots of the red-light district surrounding the Folies Bergère.   I bowed my head in mourning for the annual tens of millions whom these thousands of gibbering, custard-faced monsters in crumpled suits, living it up on lavish expense accounts paid for by you and me, had carelessly, callously condemned to an unnecessary, untimely, unconsidered, unnoticed, unreported, unforgivable death.   After pouring out my sorrow in music, I joined the transcontinental train to Essen in the heart of Germany's once-throbbing Ruhr Valley, where the roaring furnaces of the once-great steel industry are falling silent one by one.   There, at a high-level conference of professors, doctors of science and world-class climate-change researchers organized by the European Institute for Climate and Energy, I heard a steel-industry expert quietly, unemotionally describe the catastrophic effect that Angela Merkel's Energiewende was having on the industry he loved...

no new proposed OPT rule has been published in today's Federal Register
"We previously reported that the DHS regulations allowing non-student graduates to work on student visas for 29 to 35 months on student visas under the Optional Practical Training program (OPT) were vacated by the U.S. district court in DC vacated for DHS's failure to give notice and comment.   DHS crafted these regulations secretly, in cahoots with industry lobbyists, as a means to circumvent the H-1B visa quotas.   Nonetheless, the district court delayed vacating the rule for 6 months (until 2016 February 12) to give DHS time to do something to lessen the impact.   Rather than re-examine the wisdom of allowing non-students to work on student visas for years, DHS decided to use this grace period to double down and put in place a new rule to allow these aliens to work even longer.   DHS tried to correct the defect of the original, secret rule-making by going through the motions and giving a sham notice and comment where the agency had already decided (and announced) the outcome in advance.   The hope among supporters of this misguided policy was that the new rule would be in place by February 12 so that the extended work period could continue seamlessly.   That ain't happening folks.   A major regulation must be published in the Federal Register 60 days before it goes into effect.   Today is the day and no regulation has been published.   Ironically, supporters of the regulation undermined DHS's efforts here.   The purpose of a comment period is to allow the public to raise issues with proposed regulations.   DHS has to respond to the comments made during the comment period.   Apparently foreign students were led to believe that the comment period is a vote.   (In fact, the agency has to evaluate the merits of each issue raised and cannot consider the volume of comments on either side.)   DHS was bombarded with useless comments like 'I vote to increase the stem Extention (sic) time period', with titles like 'Mass Mail Campaign 28'.   DHS received over 43K comments on this proposed rule.   By spamming DHS with comments, people claiming to be foreign students simply created more work for DHS by forcing the agency to wade through a larger volume of comments.   DHS still has to respond to the comments and produce a final regulation.   The regulation then has to be approved by the Office of Management and Budget.   Finally, it has to be published in the Federal Register to go into effect 60 days later..."
"Respond to the comments"?!   That appears to be one of those legal terms of art that defy in practice their plain AmerEnglish meaning.   I have never known them to actually reform a proposed regulation in response to criticisms, nor to make a thoughtful response to criticisms.

"Syrian" "refugees" in Canada pose a security threat to the USA
"The significant national security threat presented by the United States' northern border receives minimal media coverage.   But as the longest common border in the world, dramatically longer than the border the USA shares with Mexico, the USA-Canada border provides ample opportunity for illegal border crossers to enter the United States.   After the recent terrorist attack in San Bernardino, CA, and Canada's pledge to take in a large number of Syrian refugees, Americans need to be aware of the national security threat existing to the north.   Canada's first 300 Syrian refugees arrived from Turkey and Jordan last week.   The government has pledged to take in 25K 'Syrian' 'refugees'.   Despite knowledge of vetting difficulties, the new Liberal government hints that another 25K could be welcomed by the end of the year.   That's 50K new permanent residents from an area with a widespread terrorist presence.   The government had originally set January 1 as the date for having all of the refugees processed.   But in the face of public concern the date has been pushed to the end of February.   In addition, the government has said it will focus on families and not include unaccompanied males in the re-settlement program.   But these small tweaks do not alleviate the safety hazards associated with the refugee resettlement program.   Canada does not have access to different data-bases than the USA to detect criminal background or terrorist links; Canada does not have better access to contacts, documents, or criminal history in Syria than the USA.   But Canada's new 'Liberal' government under prime-minister Justin Trudeau has refused to let the public's national security concerns deter it from opening wide the flood-gates to thousands of 'refugees' from a jihadi war zone.   The previous Conservative government, which had also committed to admitting Syrian refugees (albeit in smaller numbers), at least seemed to recognize the risk; its immigration minister said earlier this year, 'We cannot ignore the risk of jihadi terrorists seeking to exploit the generosity of western nations like Canada.'   The majority of these refugees, all receiving permanent residence, will settle in Toronto and Montreal -- cities in close proximity to the USA border.   How many of these refugees will enter the United States to join the 11M+ illegal aliens already here?   How many will join terrorist sleeper cells, which we are told exist in all 50 states?   Evidence of the porous border was seen earlier this month when an illegal alien who had walked across the border was apprehended after his entry was reported by an American citizen.   Border Patrol agents picked up the Guatemalan man in Vermont.   His associates were found to be USA citizens, who were released.   He merely walked across the border and into Vermont -- it can be just that easy.   Other policy changes in Canada will exacerbate the security threat.   Trudeau plans to lift the present visa requirement for Mexicans in 2016 March.   Lifting the visa requirement also means removing the vetting process.   Former prime-minister Harper said in the past that the visa requirements existed due to security and illegal immigration issues.   Canada could alleviate the national security risk by redirecting its resettlement resources to take care of these UN-selected 'refugees' in their home region.   They would know the language, be comfortable in their own culture, and be ready to go back into Syria to rebuild the country when the situation changes.   More importantly, this option allows for more persecuted individuals to be helped.   A recent CIS Backgrounder shows that 12 'refugees' could be taken care of in the Middle East for the cost of 1 being brought to the United States.   One would think the number would be similar in Canada, which provides for essential services and income support until refugees become self-sufficient.   Like the USA states, the provinces are likely to bear the brunt of the long-term costs.   So how secure is the 5,525 mile USA-Canada border?   It would not be exaggerating to say that Canada's 'refugees' could one day be illegal aliens in the USA, with the national security risk transferred to American citizens.   NOTE: The Center for Immigration Studies will be leading a tour of the Canadian border in September, focusing on the region where New York, Vermont, Ontario, and Quebec meet."

Sili Valley executives speak highly of Donald Trump... but only in private
"If you only read headlines about achingly politically correct tech founders like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Silicon Valley, for all its rapacious capitalistic instincts, is a hellhole of progressive hand-wringing.   But that's not what I hear from CEOs and angel investors on the libertarian wing of the Valley, some of whom are so fed up with the state of[Obummer's] America they are openly discussing seasteading and carving California up into smaller states.   They say Silicon Valley is distinctly unimpressed with Hillary Clinton and that fund-raising events have been surprisingly frosty affairs.   They also point out that Silicon Valley's reputation for wacky leftist politics isn't the whole story...   some San Francisco start-ups are left-wing through and through, particularly the 'social networks'...   the tech industry is more politically diverse than it's given credit for...   Valley insiders say that if he were to give them the visas they want -- admittedly a tough sell to his core supporters -- and sit down with founders from tech, media, gaming, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, he'd find an unlikely but significant base of support among some of Silicon Valley's most influential players..."

lots of fiancee/fiance (K-1) visa applicants get cold feet
"The amazingly high approval rate (99.7% in 2014) for K-1 visa applications -- that's the fiancé visa used by, among others, the woman [terrorist] in the San Bernardino massacre -- puzzles me.   In an effort to find out more about that rate, discussed previously, I delved more deeply into K-1 visa process.   What I found sheds minimal additional light on the basic question of the cause for the high approval rate (beyond official negligence), but I accidentally obtained some interesting information on this form of immigration by marriage.   The finding: Close to half of the aliens initially slated for K-1 visas (and marriages) did not get married in the United States as planned, with cold feet on the part of aliens playing a more significant role in this attrition than any other cause.   As background: The USA bends over backward to make it easy for citizen/alien marriages to lead to legal presence in the USA.   Most alien spouses come in after their marriage to citizens or green card holders, and do so as immigrants.   Other alien spouses of citizens (after the wedding) come in as K-3 non-immigrants and later adjust to immigrant status.   The V-1 non-immigrant visa can be used in approximately the same way, but it applies to spouses of green card holders.   In still another circumstance, the citizen files a petition for a non-immigrant K-1 visa for the alien fiancé and that fiancé then goes to a Department of State office overseas and applies for the visa.   A K-1 beneficiary then has 6 months to come to the USA and has 90 days after arrival here to go through the marriage.   K-2 visas, obtained in the same way, can be used to bring in the children, if any, of the alien.   If the alien waits too long to make the trip, the visa expires.   If the visa is used and the marriage does not take place within 90 days, then the visa expires and the one-time holder of it, if in the USA, becomes as illegal alien.   There are, incidentally, no numerical limits on any of these systems for admitting alien spouses and would-be spouses, provided they are marrying citizens.   If the marriage of the alien is to a green card holder there is about a one-year-long waiting period before the immigrant visa becomes available.   In the case of the San Bernardino terrorists, Syed Rizwan Farook, a native-born USA citizen, presumably filed a petition (I-129F) that was approved by USCIS; after that his spouse-to-be, Tashfeen Malik, a native of Pakistan who had spent many years in an ultra-fundamentalist Islamic community in Saudi Arabia, successfully filed for the K-1 visa in Islamabad, Pakistan, as I reported earlier.   The Los Angles Times subsequently wrote that she had lied about her residential address in Pakistan.   Had this been noticed by our people in Islamabad it might have slowed, or perhaps terminated, her efforts to secure the visa.   In a more detailed look at the whole picture in which K-1 documents are issued, then used or not used, I found the following sequence, and the resulting attrition rates..."

US ICE gave away $113M, says there are not enough illegal aliens they want to deport
2015-12-02: Stephen Dinan: Washington DC Times
"Even as they were pleading poverty in the federal courts, immigration officials gave away $113M this year, with Assistant Homeland Security secretary Sarah R. Saldana testifying to congress on Wednesday that they didn't need the money because there weren't enough illegal immigrants to hold or deport.   Ms. Saldana, who runs U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [US ICE], the chief deportation agency, also said estimates of the illegal immigrant population in the USA could be as high as 15M.   That is much more than the prevailing estimates of 11M to 12M, and it suggests a potentially bigger problem than the government has acknowledged.   'Probably every illegal alien could be removed.   But that's 12M people -- or 15M, depending on what estimate you look at.', Ms. Saldana told the senate Judiciary committee.   'I don't think anybody who thinks that we can go about, rounding up people, with a $6.5G budget, as generous as that is, and as grateful as I am for it, believes that we can go and do that under that budget.   There are reasons to make wise and smart and effective immigration priorities.'   A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [US ICE] official down-played Ms. Saldana's estimate of the unauthorized population, saying the agency doesn't track that statistic and the director was citing it only informally..."
Soooo, they don't have anywhere near enough resources to fence the borders, nor to seriously guard them to fend off invaders.   They don't have resources to use under-cover agents to investigate reported employers of illegal aliens, nor to seek and find visa over-stayers, nor to conduct proper, conscientious, thorough background investigations of visa applicants, nor to deport and remove known illegal aliens -- not even known convicted felon illegal aliens.   But they have plenty of people and time and money to play stupid, corrupt games.

"...Famed [leftist] Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz, however, called Cruz 'off the charts brilliant', and that he was 'One of the sharpest students I had...   I've had 10K students over my 50 years at Harvard...   he has to qualify among the brightest of the students.'   Cruz, the son of Cuban refugees, had no country club membership growing up, and worked extra jobs to help put himself through Ivy League schools.   If only he had learned to press his slacks better he'd be an American success story, quite possibly presidential material, but alas, he's merely a climber in the world of David Brooks.   Brooks also writes, 'According to The Boston Globe, a female law student who was giving [Cruz] a ride was shocked when he quickly asked her about her IQ and SAT scores.'   That 'female law student' is Melissa Hart, now a [leftist] law professor at liberal University of Colorado Law School.   She's an [Obummer] donor, pro-gay marriage debater, and recognized as an 'expert' in employment discrimination.   Work that she is currently developing includes 'Arguing that [ObummerDoesn'tCare] should be understood as a civil rights measure and that the civil rights commitments underlying the law offer additional support for its constitutional legitimacy'..."

Paul Ryan set to fund Obummer's Muslim invasion of the USA
"But they are not negotiating with [Obummer] to reduce government spending, or negotiating with conservatives to identify programs and regulations [and departments and agencies] to be de-funded.   They are negotiating with themselves over how much more to spend on [Obummer's] priorities, and [the USA] and the quality of life for millions of working families will be the losers.   The most dangerous of [Obummer's] many dangerous actions is his plan to bring 200K or more Muslim immigrants to America in the final year of his term.   According to our friend Chad Pergram of Fox News, House Republicans are gearing up to attach a proposal to the omnibus that has been decried by senator Jeff Sessions and others as empowering [Obummer] to bring in an unlimited number of 'refugees'...   As our friend Julia Hahn of Breitbart reported, Rich Lowry, Mark Levin, Jeff Sessions, and nonpartisan immigration control groups have explained that the Ryan-McCaul measure to screen Syrian and Iraqi 'refugees' will not in any way halt [Obummer's] Muslim 'refugee' re-settlement operation.   It ignores completely 'refugees' from virtually all Muslim countries that have sent terrorists to America -- such as Somalia, Bosnia and Uzbekistan -- while still allowing the president to bring in as many 'Syrian' 'refugees' as he wants on top of that.   According to a recent YouGov/Economist poll, 66% of women voters oppose bringing any 'Syrian' Muslim 'refugees' to the USA, meaning that the House plan which may be used to grease the skids for the omnibus, could further hurt the GOP with women voters..."

life, liberty and the killer state: Americans have much more to fear than terrorism: CDCP's death rates by cause
"...The risk of being murdered in the USA is also much lower than many think.   The nation is about average in the world when it comes to the murder rate, but if you take out Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago, the United States has one of the lowest murder rates in the world, despite or perhaps because of the high rate of legal gun ownership.   Several of the cities with the highest rate of gun violence also have the most restrictive gun laws.   Even though it is very unlikely that one would be killed by a lone wolf or small groups of terrorists, there is good reason to be very concerned about terrorist states.   An outlaw state may be able to acquire nuclear weapons (think North Korea) or other weapons of mass destruction and the means to deploy them.   Such weapons could kill tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of people.   Unfortunately, the options are limited when dealing with rogue states -- containment (including sanctions), conquering through invasion or decapitating the leadership.   Containment can work when the leadership is basically rational and not aggressively expansionary (e.g., the Soviet Union in its latter years).   Invasions can work if there is a credible plan for the post-conflict period (e.g., Germany and Japan), but can make matters worse without a realistic post-invasion plan (e.g., Iraq and Afghanistan).   Decapitation means killing the leadership (perhaps repeated times as new dangerous leaders emerge) rather than undertaking a large invasion and occupation -- in cases such as ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate, it may be the least bad alternative.   Many more people have been killed by their own governments -- well over 100M in the last century -- than terrorists have or are ever likely to kill.   Living in a free society, with limited government and the rule of law, is the greatest insurance against a violent end.   Thus, it is very disheartening to see a number of the presidential candidates advocating more restrictions on individual freedom and even socialist or police state programs, as if the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are annoyances to be ignored whenever it suits them..."

let's use a more accurate set of initials for the OPT program: AAA
"The most recent survey of foreign students, Open Doors, shows substantial growth in the OPT program and also reports nations of origin for these recent alien alumni of USA colleges and universities.   As discussed previously, the Optional Training Program is misnamed.   It has nothing to do with training and is simply a program used by employers to hire recent foreign college graduates at below-market rates (neither employers nor OPT workers have to pay [Socialist Inecurity] or Medicare taxes, a boon to them and a blow to our seniors.)   An employer can get a tax reduction of as much as $10K-$12K by hiring, say, an alien with a BA in plant sciences as compared to hiring a citizen or a green card holder with exactly the same credentials at exactly the same salary.   And, as might be suspected, the [Obummer regime] wants to expand the program.     The new information comes to us from the Institute for International Education in New York City, an advocate of cross-national education, and thus a supporter of more foreign students.   Open Doors is an annual survey of international student advisers [with a personal financial interest in ever-increasing numbers of foreign students] who provide information about their own institutions.   It is not a direct census of foreign students, but it is a useful measure of foreign student participation, particularly as numbers change over the years.   Open Doors, like the [Obummer regime], regards OPT workers as students, and reports that there were 120,287 of them in the most recent estimate, as opposed to 105,997 for the prior year.   That amounts to a 13% increase in these government-subsidized jobs for aliens.   Given the [regime's] proposed expansion of the program -- which would provide most of the OPT workers with 36 months instead of [a reasonable 3 months, or the earlier 12 months or the judicially banned] 29 months in the no-pay-roll-tax status -- we can expect something like 140K of them in the next count.   The Open Doors data, unlike the government data on this program described in my earlier blog, provides nation of origin information.   It shows that OPT is a heavily Asian program and draws few of its workers from other places in the world.   [Red China] is the nation with the most OPT workers (43,114), followed by India with 29,388 and South Korea with 6,635.   Of the 120,287 workers, the report states that 93,418 are from Asia, as Open Doors defines Asia.   Were it to use a more widely accepted definition the number would be higher, as the report counts 1,231 Turkish workers as European and 3,779 people from Middle East as African.   The numbers, thus corrected, show 98,428 Asians, or 81.8% of the OPT population.   Since these workers are all college graduates, maybe we should use the initials AAA for the program, standing for the Asian Alumni Association."

Jessica Vaughan _Center for Immigration Studies_
yet another major failure to screen: educational institutions & employer/sponsors
"According to an internal USCIS document, immigration officers are not routinely utilizing the full range of available database checks to identify high-risk individuals, such as San Bernardino jihadist Sayed Rezwan Farook, who are trying to sponsor an immigrant.   The most extensive checks are done only on prospective immigrants, not sponsors.   This is a significant gap in the screening process that has been known for years, but never corrected.   It's an easy fix, and if USCIS had done so years ago, when it recognized the gap, the government might have been more cautious about admitting Farook's partner and fiancé, Tashfeen Malik, and perhaps others who pose a similar risk.   All alien applicants are run through several data-bases of information, including an FBI finger-print check, FBI name check (which covers information in FBI files), and a TECS (Treasury Enforcement Communications Systems) check [but, apparently not a DNA check, which would also disclose chains of close relatives].   The TECS check is designed to identify individuals suspected of or involved in violations of federal law and accesses general law enforcement warrants, lookouts, and the terror watch list, but does not receive a complete set of relevant information from the FBI.   In contrast, those who seek to sponsor immigrants, also known as petitioners, do not submit fingerprints and are checked only through TECS.   Back in 2008, the Fraud Detection and National Security Unit of USCIS studied the difference in results obtained from the FBI name checks and the TECS checks in identifying individuals who posed a security threat.   Analysts pulled the records of approximately 1,800 individuals who had recently been identified within the pool of immigration benefits applicants as known or suspected terrorists.   These individuals, who were either petitioners or benefits applicants (for visas, green cards, or other benefits), had all been flagged by the FBI name-check system.   (Yes, I had the same thought, that's a lot of terrorists in about one year's worth of applicants!)   Yet only 19% of these known or suspected terrorists who were flagged in the FBI name check system also had records in TECS.   In other words, the TECS check alone could have detected only a fifth of the known or suspected terrorists who were found involved in an immigration benefits application that year.   Said the report: 'This means the [national security] concerns would not have been identified outside the FBI name check process.'   Considering that Farook apparently was known to counter-terrorism officials as a person of interest, even though he had not been arrested; if USCIS had a policy requiring the FBI name check in addition to the TECS check, there would have been an opportunity to prevent the admission of Malik and possibly prevent an attack.   Representative Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), chairman of the House Judiciary committee, has announced that he is preparing a bill that would address this vulnerability, and many others, in the visa and benefits screening process.   Given the many gaps in this process that we now know exist, and other emerging reports about the abundance of fake documents produced by ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate that are available to anyone interested in hiding in the refugee flow, it would be prudent to hold off on further refugee admissions, and any immigration expansions, until these problems are [corrected."

leftists/Reds/Dems & leftist media attacking the truth (part 1)
"...Much empirical research over the years has confirmed Justice Scalia's concern that admitting black students to institutions for which their academic preparation is not sufficient can be making them worse off instead of better off.   I became painfully aware of this problem more than 40 years ago, when I was teaching at Cornell University, and discovered that half the black students there were on some form of academic probation.   These students were not stupid or uneducable.   On the contrary, the average black student at Cornell at that time scored at the 75th percentile on scholastic tests.   Their academic qualifications were better than those of three-quarters of all American students who took those tests.   Why were they in trouble at Cornell, then?   Because the average Cornell student in the liberal arts college at that time scored at the 99th percentile.   The classes taught there -- including mine -- moved at a speed geared to the verbal and mathematical level of the top one percent of American students.   The average white student would have been wiped out at Cornell.   But the average white student was unlikely to be admitted to Cornell, in the first place.   Nor was a white student who scored at the 75th percentile...   Black students who scored at the 90th percentile in math had serious academic problems trying to keep up at MIT, where other students scored somewhere within the top 99th percentile..."

Barack Hussein Obummer -- proto-fascist
Washington DC Times: fascist left in the USA
"At the end of this sneering commentary, CNN launched into a fascinating tutorial on what a Fascist is.   Here are several key characteristics of a fascist leader according to CNN:   'The superiority of the leader's instincts over abstract and universal reason.'   'The belief of one group that it is the victim, justifying any action.'   'The need for authority by natural leaders (always male) culminating in a national chief who alone is capable of incarnating the group's destiny.'   Wait a minute.   What modern politician best fits this description?   Could it be... [Barack Hussein Obummer].   The [false] Messiah.   The chosen one.   The man who holds political rallies with gothic columns in giant amphitheaters who enters the stage as if he were a Greek god?   The greatest demagogue of modern times, who convinced the vast electorate that they are 'victims' and that their key to happiness and prosperity is to take from the rich -- people, he says, who have way more wealth than they could possibly need.   [President Obummer's] whole political success rests on identity politics -- of persuading blacks, Hispanics, Jews, women, the disabled, gays, students, the poor, immigrants, that they are victims of a vast American government conspiracy against them...   many of the same people in Hollywood who just made a movie celebrating the communists/fascists of the 1950s within their ranks -- and portraying them sympathetically as blackballed victims, rather than subversive supporters of butchers who killed millions of Jews, blacks, gays, Christians, and dissidents.   Many of the communists in Hollywood [and DC and NY], not least of all Trumbo, were avid supporters of Stalin and even remained so after his genocidal purges were well-documented.   Even the Russians themselves have repudiated the savagery of Stalin -- but not the American left...   But the real definition of a fascist is a leader who wants to use governmental power to suppress rights of individuals.   It is the partnership of government and private industry for the collective good.   Corporate cronyism is a classic form of fascism, which would include programs like [the crony scialist] Export-Import Bank.   Fascism, communism, socialism, Naziism, progressivism, are all just variations on this same theme.   These isms all feed on subjugating [i.e. violating] freedom..."

Obummer's new ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate czar is Hamas pal
"How could [Barack Hussein Obummer] possibly do more to help ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate and radical jihadists around the world than he already has?   If you asked me that question a few weeks ago, I would be stumped.   But then he appointed a new ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate czar.   And whom did he select?   Did he pick a retired general who has studied ISIL tactics and strategy?   Did he go for someone who has some achievement in his history -- military or otherwise?   Did he name someone whose loyalty to the USA and its values could never be questioned?   Did he choose someone who had good relations with our closest ally in the Middle East -- Israel?   No, he didn't do any of those things.   Of course, he didn't.   It would be out of character for [Obummer] to do that.   What he did instead was to select Rob Malley, a radical leftist foreign policy adviser he previously fired from his 2008 campaign for meeting with the terrorist group Hamas, a vicious critic of Israel, a long-time apologist for Yasser Arafat with whom his family had deep ties, a sympathizer with Palestinian terrorism, a man whose father is active in the Communist Party in Egypt and a person who blamed the failure of Bill Clinton's effort at peace talks between Ehud Barak and Arafat on Israel.   So how do you think this appointment will work out?   Malley, BTW, is assigned not to defeat ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate.   He's charged with supporting 'our re-invigorated diplomatic track toward a political transition in Syria', according to White House spokesmouth Josh Earnest..."

reasons Barack Hussein Obummer is not who we are
American Thinker
"1.   Dissing Allies and embracing Enemies...   2.   Repeated unconstitutional acts...   3.   Constant executive branch over-reaching.   In addition to the unconstitutional actions of the president, he has engaged in numerous acts of overreaching.   The Committee for Justice lists 25 such acts.   In addition to those noted by Shapiro, this publication reminds us of these: refusal to build a fence along the Mexican border as required by law; authoring over 21 executive orders that restrict 2d Amendment rights; the administration's Fast & Furious Operation, which clearly was designed to create gun crimes and further erode the Constitutional right of citizens to bear arms -- and failure to dismiss Eric Holder when his attorney general refused to testify before Congress about it and was held in contempt; over-reaching regulations and mandates by his EPA, DoJ, IRS, FCC, EEOC, [both DoEs], and department of Interior.   Some of the most serious wrongdoing includes:   ...Without congressional approval, [Obummer] gutted the work requirement for welfare recipients passed by congress and signed into law by president Bill Clinton...   In the bail-out of General Motors and Chrysler, [Obummer] illegally shortchanged bond holders in favor of Labor Unions, despite USA bankruptcy laws that specify that bond holders be first in line to be paid back...   [Obummer] exposed the identity and method of operation of the Navy SEALs team that conducted the operation in Pakistan, thus exposing its members to a lifetime of risk because they have been targeted for assassination by Islamists.   A short time after [Obummer] exposed the Navy SEALs' method of operation, 22 SEALs were shot down and killed in Afghanistan.   It is a violation of law for the president or any American to reveal classified military secrets...   [President Barack Hussein Obummer] established an extra-constitutional top secret 'kill list' of people (including Americans) who can be summarily killed on sight...   [Obummer regime] officials twisted the arms of defense contractors to not issue layoff notices in October of 2012 so as to avoid causing bad news for [Obummer] right before the election -- even though federal law (the 'WARN Act') requires such notices.   Not only is this a violation of the WARN Act, it's also an unlawful use of federal officials for campaign purposes...   4.   In his public actions he has undermined the rule of law...   5.   He has honored thugs and ignored victims of racial and terrorist violence...   6.   He has gone out of his way to insult the religious sensibilities of traditional Christians and Jews..."

why Muslim immigration must be cut
"With all the debate about a moratorium on Muslim immigration, the main concern seems to be the threat of jihadist terrorism.   That's understandable.   It's an imminent threat.   In fact, it is a brutal present reality.   Anyone who denies it simply has his or her head in the sand -- or some other dark place.   No, all Muslims are not terrorist jihadists.   But since there are considerably more than 1G Muslims in the world and since the percentage of radicalized Islamic jihadists -- by deed or in spirit -- ranges from 5% to 20% [with polls showing as many as 36%, or even 50% of Muslims in some countries, advocating initiation of force], it's a crisis that cannot be ignored without the loss of more innocent life in the U.S.A... Slavery... Subjugation of women... Persecution of non-believers... Islam the fastest-growing religion in the world for two reasons:   It coerces coverts;   Muslims have a higher birth-rate [and over-crowding and over-population] than Christians and Jews...   There are considerably more than 1G Chinese people in the world.   They are, for the most part, not experienced with freedom.   Would they be equipped to assimilate into America in big numbers if [Red China] suddenly allowed them to leave? I think not.   We couldn't handle a flood of millions of Chinese people -- even though a significant majority of them might not be prone to violence and terrorism and they are hard-working people.   Our national policy should be to foster freedom in countries that don't have it so we don't have to pay that price.   Likewise, there are close to 1G Hindus in the world.   They, too, are mostly peaceful, hardworking people.   But could the U.S.A. maintain its cultural identity and its liberty by taking in millions of them? I think not."

the "refugee" grinch in the White House: crony socialist financial incentives drive Dem/Red/leftist desire for more Syrians
"Would you like to help 10,000 of them -- which is [Obummer's scheme] for the current year -- or 610K?   Obviously, any caring person would like to help as many of these poor people as possible.   Then why, oh why, would you want to bring them here when you can help 61 times that number in one of Syria's neighboring countries without the obvious threat?   Last month, Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler released a exhaustive study for the Center for Immigration Studies, largely ignored by the media, on the cost of relocating these people.   It shows that if your interest in purely compassion, [Obummer's scheme] makes no sense.   The UN High Commission for Refugees has appealed for $4.533G to care for the 4.29M registered Syrian 'refugees' currently in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon for a year.   That amounts to about $1,057 per 'refugee'.   While that may seem like a low number, the poverty line in that area is roughly $1,402 per family.   Clearly, caring for a family in a neighboring country is much less expensive than keeping that family out of poverty here where the line is $24K per year for the average family.   Although, CIS did not attempt to include all relocation costs, its best conservative estimate was $64,370 per Middle Eastern 'refugee', or $257,481 per family for a period of five years.   That is because these 'refugees' rely heavily on welfare; 91% receive food stamps and 68% receive cash assistance.   Added to those costs are processing, temporary assistance and aid to the 'refugee'-receiving communities.   Also, given the fact that these 'refugees' have, on average, 10.5 years of education, it is likely they will be a drain on the public for years to come..."

"I attended USCIS's Asylum Division Quarterly StakeHolder Meeting last week.   It was led by John Lafferty, chief of the Asylum Division.   Those present were, for the most part, USCIS staff and immigration lawyers in charge of representing asylum seekers and refugees.     Here are a few things I learned:   The Asylum Division suffers from a high staff turnover.   Loss of trained staff means recruiting and training others to do the job.   It is also understaffed.   Officers have a hard time meeting quotas set by the president.     In 2000, there were only 5K asylum cases and no back-log.   There are now 120K cases, hence the back-log.     The budget is tight.   USCIS is considering increasing its fees -- but only for legal immigrants, since 'refugees' and asylum seekers are not charged.     Officers interview asylum seekers by phone in 60% of the cases (except for families who are already in detention centers).   They are under a lot of pressure, especially because they cannot see the interviewees.     In answer to an attendee who suggested asylum seekers should be allowed to apply for work authorization alongside their asylum claim, Lafferty referred to the existing law that forbids it.   (Since 1995, asylum seekers have been eligible for work authorization only if their case drags on for more than 6 months; see here for an overview of the 1995 reforms.)   The questioner's rejoinder was nothing short of provocative; she said with a smile, 'They work illegally anyway, you know that...'   Lafferty did not comment.     So let me see if I got this right.     The numbers of 'refugees' and asylum seekers are increasing in a way that is overwhelming staff members.   Many choose to leave after a year or two.   True, some may be promoted or move on to different government posts, as Lafferty explained, but others simply give up.     We all know how important training and expertise are for jobs that require in-depth interviewing and screening.   Asylum claims in general (like refugee ones) lack hard evidence, leaving 'credibility' as a major key towards a positive outcome.   The insight or intuition of an officer conducting interviews is crucial in that context.   Call me skeptical, but I don't see how this subjective assessment can be obtained through a telephone conversation.   USCIS staff must be aware of the unreliability of such interview tools, hence the added pressure.   But let me speculate further.   What if the asylum seeker doesn't speak English?   The USCIS officer is then left with a translator at the other end of the line -- not only can the officer not look the applicant in the eye, but he can't even hear the applicant's voice.   Seriously?   Let's move to the funding issue.   With more asylum applicants to screen and process, and money getting scarce, law-abiding immigrants -- applying for green cards, citizenship, and the like -- will be asked to take on the added cost through higher fees.   This actually penalizes those who follow the rules.   Also likely are increasing delays in the processing of applications for legal immigrants.   When law-makers decided to waive application fees for asylum seekers (and refugees) they were probably driven by a desire to help vulnerable victims in need of a break.   The idea that million-dollar immigration law offices would be representing men and women seeking refuge was probably not considered.   Even if these talented lawyers are working pro-bono here, someone is paying the tab.   Powerful lobbies have taken on the asylum and refugee cause; perhaps it is time they handled their protégés' fees as well.   What is certain is that legal immigrants should not have to bear the consequences of this [regime's pseudo-humanitarian] enthusiasm.   You'd think those who follow the rules and do not make the news would be thanked, not penalized."

"The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' [BLS's] latest employer compensation cost figures estimate that the wages and salary of a full-time worker averaged $22.88 per hour in November.   But the cost of benefits adds an additional $10.61, or 46%, for a total of $31.65 an hour.   By turning employees into 'gig' workers, corporations save 30% by eliminating the 7.65% employer portion of [Socialist Insecurity and Medicare taxes -- as well as state unemployment compensation insurance, workers' compensation insurance, [ObummerDoesn'tCare] burdens, the company's 401K contributions, and any profit sharing contribution.   Unions have fought hard to drive up all mandatory benefit costs in the private sector to narrow the benefit cost differences between union and non-union workers..."

What defines the GOP? What is a USA "conservative"?
"...Let's take a closer look at Continetti’s top four GOP markers:   1)   internationalist in outlook;   2)   pro-free trade;   3)   pro-immigration;   4)   support for American leadership in global institutions.   At one time, such positions defined the Left side of the American political spectrum, even the far Left -- even the Communist Party USA!   This is in not an exageration.   The program Continetti describes as quintessentially Republican happens to intersect or mesh perfectly with the global systems helmed into existence, literally, by American Communist agents of the Kremlin at the time of or after World War 2 -- namely, to take the most prominent examples, Alger Hiss at the United Nations, and Harry Dexter White at the International Monetary Fund.   What Continetti describes as 'pro-immigration', I take to mean as a position that is the opposite of immigration restriction as enacted by conservatives (in both parties) in the 1920s and 1950s, and perhaps even in line with the unceasing mass immigration mainly from the Third World that has been demographically and culturally and politically transforming the USA since the infamous, Ted-Kennedy-managed 1965 Immigration Act.   Then there's free trade -- surely, the ultimate in free market economics, and, thus, an essence of what we think of as 'conservatism', right?   Think again.   I have long believed that bottom-line free trade which, for example, turned Americans into enablers of slave or quasi-slave labor in such dictatorships as Communist China, and bankrupters of our own manufacturing base in the USA, was a disaster.   Not until I recently picked up _Toward Soviet America_, the 1932 book by Communist Pary USA chairman William Z. Foster, did I realize global free trade was also in sync with Communism's assault on our nation's character as well.   In his predictions for Soviet America, many of which have come true as Marxist ideology has subverted our institutions, Foster writes:   'A Communist world will be a unified, organized world.'   Remember Soviet agent Alger Hiss acted as the first UN secretary general in 1945.   The economic system will be one great organization, based upon the principle of planning now dawning in the USSR..."
Huh, Matthew Continetti is not the only pundit pontificating along these who has a dreadfully myopic historical context.

yes, Muslims around the world really do hate the USA
"GOP candidates are being pilloried for their opposition to jihad, sharia, and ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate infiltration here in the USA.   Countering the reasonable and rational, Foreign Policy warns us that the Muslim world hates us, citing Pew Research Center data and various other surveys of Muslim 'publics [that] have been asked whether they have a favorable or unfavorable view of the' USA...   'intense anti-American sentiment can be found in Egypt (53% held a very unfavorable view of America in 2014) and Jordan (51% very unfavorable in 2015)'...   A November poll by the Pew Research Center revealed significant levels of support for ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate within the Muslim world.   And another poll released in November shows that a third of Syrian refugees are ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate sympathizers.   The Pew poll validates everything I have been saying and blows the fiction that the media, academic and cultural elites have been spinning, as in this Foreign Policy article, clear out of the water.   Even worse, you can be absolutely sure that the real extent of this support is higher than the Pew data indicates.   Much higher.   These Muslims just admit to it.   Others do not.   Other surveys show that 58% of Muslims in the USA reject criticism of Islam as a right; 46% want such blasphemers punished legally.   Twelve percent want them killed.   25% of Muslims in the USA think that jihad suicide bombings are justified in some circumstances.   Do you think such people love America in any genuine sense?...   this Muslim hatred for the USA predates this election.   It predates 201/09/11 -- what was their excuse then?   It predates the Hizballah bombing of our Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1983.   It predates the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.   It goes back to Muhammad..."

crony socialism related to immigration/immigration law perversion is live ferment in USA House of Representatives
"Tucked into the 2K+ pages of Paul Ryan's monster [over-spending] bill to fund the federal government through the rest of this fiscal year are two immigration measures that testify to the strength of employer interests in bending immigration policy to their will.   One is a change that would effectively quadruple the number of H-2B foreign workers.   These are 'unskilled' non-farm workers (a companion program to the H-2A for farm-workers, and the H-1B for tech workers) who work in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, tourism, lifeguards, seafood processing -- you know, jobs Americans won't do.   The measure inserted into the spending bill was originally introduced last month by four Republican members -- Chabot, Goodlatte, Harris, and Boustany.   It consists of the common trick of nominally preserving the statutory cap (66K H-2B visas per year) but exempting certain groups from the cap -- in this case, any foreign worker who came in the prior three years.   This would potentially quadruple the number of these 'seasonal' workers to more than a quarter million.   Even under current law the seasonal nature of the visa is a lie; they're good for 10 months out of the year, so that they really are for permanent workers who take two-month unpaid vacations at Christmas time.   (And just to highlight what a cronyist cesspool the H-2B visa program is, note that the current rules exempt from the cap all 'Fish roe processors, fish roe technicians and/or supervisors of fish roe processing.'   Some West Coast lawmaker presumably sold his vote on another matter in exchange for this loophole.)   The other donor-service provision slipped into the omnibus spending bill is a straight renewal of the scandal-plagued EB-5 investor visa program.   The program sells permanent residence in the United States for the entire family in exchange for a $500K investment (usually in a high-end real estate development) that supposedly produces 10 jobs (though you can pay an economist to concoct a story about 'indirect' job creation).   Fortune magazine last year published a deep dive into this sleazy program that's well-worth the time to read, so long as you've taken your blood-pressure meds.   And my colleague David North has been following the program closely for years.   The scandalous nature of this visa-selling scam was so apparent that the Republican chairmen and ranking Democrats of both the House and senate Judiciary committees got together to introduce a reform bill.   The changes are modest, considering that this steaming pile of cronyism should simply be abolished, but they were better than nothing and had broad support.   The reason these changes had a shot was that the program expires this month and would have to be reauthorized; you'd think that with Grassley, Leahy, Goodlatte, and Conyers behind them, the reforms would have been included as a condition of renewal.   But then John Cornyn got together with Chuck Schumer to kill the measure.   The program is being renewed for the remainder of the fiscal year with no changes.   The chief EB-5 lobbyist crowed on twitter:   'So proud of our EB-5 Investment Coalition.   Extension of the program for 10 months! TY Schumer Cornyn and Flake.' --laura reiff (@lfreiff) 2015 December 16.   I suppose it should come as no surprise that a body that actually revived the expired Export-Import Bank would make sure that employers could wet their beaks through these immigration giveaways as well.   But it's disconcerting nonetheless.   (And in case you were wondering, the omnibus spending bill also fully funds [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] plans to 're-settle' 10K 'Syrian' 'refugees'.   All thoroughly vetted, of course.)"

EU sets off an on-line privacy revolution
"The new rules will drastically change how companies use people's data and perhaps reshape data-based businesses such as advertising and online retail.   The idea of the new regulation is to establish the same data privacy rules across the EU -- something the European Commission says will result in savings of 2.3G euros ($2.5G) a year for businesses -- but also to hand to users full control of their personal data, which the EU defines broadly as 'any information relating to a data subject', or natural person.   This means companies will have to explain exactly what information they are collecting, for what purposes and how long it will be retained.   They will be forced to disclose all collected information to the user -- something Austrian law student Max Schrems expended a lot of effort extracting from FB, which led to the overruling by the European Court of Justice, of the 'safe harbor' data transfer deal between Europe and the U.S.A. in October.   Companies will also have to erase data at the users' request if they have no legitimate reason for keeping it -- an extension of the difficult-to-enforce 'right to be forgotten'.   Perhaps more importantly, companies will have to comply with the principles of 'privacy by design' and 'privacy by default', meaning the default settings of any service must ensure that as few data as possible are collected and retained...."

Paul Ryan == John Boehner; the horrid omnibus over-spending bill
"The massive 2K+ pages of this year's continuing resolution or omnibus appropriation were released at 01:20 on the night of the CNN Republican presidential debate, when all eyes would be focused on Las Vegas, not the smoke-filled rooms of Capitol Hill where this anti-conservative monstrosity was crafted.   In what has become an annual litany, establishment Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan -- whose scruffy beard makes him look more like a frat boy after a kegger than the third ranking constitutional officer of the United States -- claimed this massive betrayal of conservatives was a 'compromise' resulting from divided government.   The alleged conservatives of the Freedom Caucus who abandoned their support for the conservative reforms they called for when John Boehner was speaker to support Paul Ryan over conservative Daniel Webster have a lot to answer for now that Ryan has shown the conservative grassroots what he's really made of.   Because, as is usual in such 'compromises', conservatives got nothing -- spending grew, funding for Planned Parenthood is included, funding of the welfare state grew, funding for the regulatory state grew, and funding for immigration, both legal and illegal grew, as did funding for the 'refugee' 're-settlement' programs that are bringing jihad to [the USA].   In truth the CR is not a compromise, it is [RINO] funding the priorities they share with Democrats and [president Obummer], who gave up nothing of substance to achieve the alleged 'compromise'.   So deep is this betrayal of the conservative principles that Republicans claim to stand for that virtually every conservative organization of any note has come out in opposition to the bill.   Heritage Action for America is key voting the bill and recommending a 'NO' vote.   Heritage said, while the bill fails to achieve significant conservative policy victories, it appears to deliver substantial liberal priorities, including a two-year delay of [ObummerDoesn'tCare's] Cadillac tax.   Many of the conservative policy riders touted by the Appropriations committee are pre-existing riders -- the Hyde amendment, a ban on funding [ObummerDoesn'tCare's] risk corridor bailouts, and the ban on transferring detainees from Guantanamo Bay to military bases in America, just to name a few -- that have endured throughout Republican and Democrat control.   Meanwhile, many important conservative riders were left out of the package.   What's more, the $1.149T omnibus will spend at least significantly more than last year's bill and well above the previously established budget caps.   Finally, conservatives have raised significant concerns about the closed-door, dual-track negotiations that led to both the omnibus and the tax extenders.   The 233-page tax extenders package and 2,009-page omnibus were unveiled late Tuesday evening and earlier Wednesday morning, respectively, giving law-makers little time to decipher the policy implications of both bills.   'The good, the bad, and the ugly is the best way to classify this bill.', said David Williams, president of Taxpayers Protection Alliance.   'Despite recent changes in House leadership, there's been no change to a process that has continued to let down [tax-victims.   A massive spending bill filed as deadlines to fund the government are running out has become an all too familiar way to pass major legislation.   Congress is throwing a bunch of presents under the tree for taxpayers the night before Christmas and there's more than a few lumps of coal in [tax-victims'] stockings.'   You may see the Taxpayers Protection Alliance report on the CR by clicking here.   NumbersUSA and the American Energy Alliance are also key voting against speaker Ryan's betrayal of the conservatives who were hornswoggled into supporting him.   Perhaps the most concise and devastating indictment of the Ryan - McConnell - [Obummer continuing resolution] came from the First Lady of the conservative movement Phyllis Schlafly and her Eagle Forum, who issued an action alert in opposition to the bill, saying 'After weeks of negotiations behind closed doors, the results are in, and once again, the American people lose while special interests and the president win.'   Here are 5 of the biggest problems Eagle Forum identified with the omnibus [over-spending bill]:   Spending.   When Republicans controlled only the House, they got the White House and Harry Reid to impose budget caps in 2011, one of the few accomplishments of John Boehner's speakership.   In October, although having control of both chambers, John Boehner surrendered this one accomplishment.   The omnibus spends at these much higher levels set in the final Obama-Boehner budget deal, which was rejected by two-thirds of House Republicans.   Life.   Planned Parenthood will continue to receive funding.   In fact, no pro-life victories can be found in the bill.   Republican negotiators are left bragging about their ability to keep pro-life provisions that have been attached to funding bills for years.   Immigration.   No new restrictions are placed on 'refugee' 're-settlement' programs, sanctuary cities, or [president Obummer's unconstitutional] lawless amnesties.   On the contrary, a provision was slipped in quadrupling H-2B visas in fiscal year 2016, bringing in tens of thousands more low-skilled workers.   Environment.   In exchange for lifting the crude oil ban, environmentalists are given free rein to advance their destructive agenda.   Nothing in this omnibus will stop [president Obummer] from implementing the climate change agreement reached in Paris last week.   Furthermore, the EPA can continue imposing new regulations in areas such as water and carbon emissions that will affect our daily lives in many ways.   National Security.   Our national security will be diminished.   [President Obummer] can continue to implement his dangerous deal [to help Iran develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems].   Women will be allowed into combat units, lowering their overall effectiveness and increasing risks to men and women in the front lines.   Please sign our open letter to congress demanding Republicans De-Fund [Obummer's] Disastrous Policies or be Complicit in the Destruction of Our Country and then call your  Representative and senators (the Capitol Switchboard is 1-866-220-0044) and tell them to vote NO on the omnibus over-spending bill."

recent history of San Bernardino terrorist's terrorism-linked, orthodox Islamic sect: beginning at Dar Al Uloom Islamiyah mosque
"On the Breitbart News Daily radio programme, whistleblower and former Department of Homeland Security official Philip Haney pointed to Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) -- a group known in Britain as the 'Army of Darkness' that has used aggressive tactics to build 'mega mosques' in my home country, and which has been linked to a number of high profile terrorist incidents.   The links, some say, are coincidental.   But this hardline Deobandi sect has found itself on the front lines of domestic terrorism cases on too many occasions now for anyone to leave this unchecked.   Some of their members are also known for duplicitous behaviour -- even by fellow Muslims -- an understandable tactic when you consider that the group is militantly evangelical, and regards proselytising in the name of its interpretation of Islam as its highest calling.   The Christian Science Monitor reported this month that the group vbegan as a revivalist movement for a beleaguered Muslim minority in British-ruled India' and 'has over the past century transformed into a global phenomenon that may have as many as 50M followers'...   'Tablighi Jamaat has always adopted an extreme interpretation of Sunni Islam, but in the past 2 decades, it has radicalized to the point where it is now a driving force of Islamic extremism and a major recruiting agency for terrorist causes worldwide'..."

COP21
"...Matt Ridley, a member of a British coal-producing family and author of _The Rational Optimist_, notes that the path of mankind's progress, material as well as moral, has been from reliance on renewable but insufficient energy sources to today's 85% reliance on energy from fossil fuels.   The progression has been from reliance on human (often slaves') muscles, to animal energy (first oxen, then horses), to burning wood and peat as stores of sunlight, to energy from water and wind, to, at last, fossil fuels.   Sustained economic growth, a necessary prerequisite for scientific and technological dynamism, became possible, Ridley writes, when humanity was able to rely on 'non-renewable, non-green, non-clean power'.   Because 'there appeared from underground a near-magical substance', Britain's landscape was spared: 'Coal gave Britain fuel equivalent to the output of 15M extra acres of forest to burn, an area nearly the size of Scotland.   By 1870, the burning of coal in Britain was generating as many calories as would have been expended by 850 million laborers...   The capacity of the country's steam engines alone was equivalent to 6M horses or 40M men.'   And cheap coal produced the iron for new labor-saving machines..."

Remember 1986
"FB, MSFT and Silicon Valley back Marco Rubio.   Mark Zuckerberg is a 'social justice' CEO who panders to Hispanics with his pro-amnesty, anti-deportation [low standards, no background investigations] advocacy; FB is an H-1B visa dependent company working hard to obliterate hurdles to hiring an unlimited stream of cheap [young, pliant, ethically fexible] foreign tech workers.   It's no coincidence that FB's lobbying outfit, FWD.us, was waging war on senator Cruz on-line this week in parallel with senator Rubio's disingenuous onstage attack.   The DC front group, which Zuckerberg seeded in 2013 with nearly $40M during the Gang of 8 [8 Gangsters] fight, has consistently provided political protection for Rubio as he carried their legislative water.   FWD.us's GOP subsidiary, 'Americans for a Conservative Direction', showered Rubio and pro-illegal alien amnesty [senator Lindsey Grahamnesty (R-SC)], with millions of dollars in media ad buys.   The group also funded a deceptive, $150K ad campaign for immigration sell-out representative Renee Ellmers (R-NC), which falsely claimed she opposed amnesty to help her fend off a primary challenge.   In all, FWD.us spent an estimated $5M on TV and radio spots in more than 100 GOP districts before the senate passed the Gang of 8 [8 Gangsters] bill [S744] in 2013 June.   Zuckerberg personally donated to Rubio, as have pro-H-1B expansionist Silicon Valley CEOs from Oracle, Cisco and Seagate.   MSFT, founded by leading ['infinite'] H-1B/amnesty cheer-leader Bill Gates, has been Rubio's #2 corporate donor the past 5 years..."

furor over Islam assignment leads Virginia school district to close for a day or two
"A Virginia school system has decided to close schools Friday after a high school geography assignment on world religions led to allegations of Islamic indoctrination and a slew of angry emails and phone calls.   Augusta county school district officials said that there had been no specific threat of harm to students.   But in a statement posted on the school district's web-site, officials said they were concerned about the 'tone and content of these communications'.   'We regret having to take this action, but we are doing so based on the recommendations of law enforcement and the Augusta County School Board out of an abundance of caution.', the statement says.   Superintendent Eric Bond did not respond to questions about why he canceled school given the lack of a specific threat, or about whether he considered the original assignment improper.   Members of the school board also did not respond to requests for comment.   The school district serves about 10K students in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley west of Charlottesville, VA, about 150 miles from Washington, DC.   A geography teacher at the district's Riverheads High in Staunton, Virginia, gave an assignment asking students to try their hand at calligraphy by copying a statement in Arabic, according to the Staunton News Leader.   It was the Muslim statement of faith, according to the newspaper: 'There is no god but Allah.   Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.'..."
