If you believe the Democrats (and some Republicans) the
biggest threat to the Party of Abe is a man named Ted. It’s tempting for the
GOP to believe that all it needs to do is practice some Cruz Control and wait
around for Americans to wake up and realize that it is the sensible party with
the moderate solutions. And if that
doesn’t work… there are always the elections of 2020 or 2024… or 2124. The
Republican Party can’t win if it won’t fight.
The ObamaCare Meltdown By Matthew Vadum
Will
the health care overhaul collapse under its own weight? Sometimes politics imitates life. It turns out the pregnant, diabetic woman who
nearly fainted in President Obama’s arms at the Obamacare damage-control press
event Obama held this week, isn’t herself sold on
Obamacare. The experience of Californian
Karmel Allison is a metaphor for the entire rollout of the healthcare
exchanges. Failure after failure, glitch after glitch, and spin, spin, spin.
Allison was part of the president’s embarrassing media event this week in which
a few Americans who somehow managed to sign up for Obamacare online were
paraded for the dupes of the mainstream media to swoon over.
Kerry & Netanyahu Spar in Rome By P.
David Hornik
With Iran’s
nuclear clock running out. AP reported this week that Iran’s
deputy foreign minister Abbas Araghchi “predicted…the nuclear talks could take
as long as a year…with the first milestone coming in three to six months and
negotiations concluding within the year.”
That “prediction” should come as no surprise. The same report says
“significant gaps remain between what the Iranians offered” in last week’s
first round of talks and what the P5+1 countries are seeking “to reduce fears
Iran wants to build nuclear weapons.”
The Morsi-Zawahiri Connection By
Raymond Ibrahim
Shocking claims
from a former jihadist group leader. More people, and from the least
expected places, are stepping up to confirm that the now ousted
Brotherhood-government of Morsi in Egypt was closely working with al-Qaeda and
other jihadi/terrorist organizations in the Sinai — and all with U.S. support. Nabil Na’im, the former leader of the
Egyptian Islamic Jihad group (where Ayman Zawahiri was before merging with
al-Qaeda), recently made such scandalous allegations, especially
concerning the relationship between the United States government and the Muslim
Brotherhood during a televised broadcast of On TV.
Senator Sessions Throws Down the Gauntlet By Frontpagemag.com
A statement from Senator Sessions: The
President said he has not heard any good reason to oppose the Senate bill.
Clearly, he has not listened to the ICE and USCIS officers warning that the
bill would permanently undermine enforcement. Here are three more reasons: the
Senate bill will lower wages, increase unemployment, and reduce per-capita GNP.
All of these statements are confirmed by the Congressional Budget Office. Under
current law, we will provide approximately 10 million grants of permanent
residency (green cards) over the next decade. Under the Senate bill, that
number will triple to more than 30 million. Further, the Senate bill would
double the number of guest workers at a time when a record 90 million Americans
are outside the work force. We need to get Americans off of unemployment, off
of welfare, and back into the labor force — but the ‘reforms’ proposed by the
Senate would put even more Americans out of work.
Many of
the same CEOs demanding that Congress increase guest workers are laying off
thousands of American workers. This is a defining moment for the House
Republicans. They must decide who they represent: certain activist CEOs
lobbying Congress, or the national interest and the millions of Americans
struggling to get by in this low job, low wage economy.
Obama[s War on the Christian Extremist Threat
By Joseph Klein
President Obama proclaimed
to the United Nations General Assembly in September 2012: “The future must not
belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” In keeping with this
sentiment, his administration decided to scrub all federal law enforcement
training materials in order to eliminate the use of such words or phrases as
jihadists or Islamic terrorists, since the use of such terms could be viewed by
Muslims as evidence of Islamophobia. A concerted
campaign to portray Christians as domestic enemies comes to light.
Emboldening and Empowering Islamic Fundamentalists
By Majid Rafizadeh
How the Obama administration has already assured Iran
that the West is ready to fold. In the last few months, the Obama
administration has removed some non-economic sanctions on Iran, has stopped its
efforts to push for more pressure on Iran’s nuclear defiance and clandestine
uranium enrichments, has described the Islamist government of Iran (which holds
the top rank on the list of nations with the highest human rights abuses and
the support of terrorism) as a rational actor, and has characterized the recent
nuclear talks with the Islamist government and fundamentalist theocratic regime
of Iran as “positive” and “constructive.”
