Talk Show Hosts, Rejoice: Sarah Palin Says She May Enter the 2016 Election Fray

 
[ #Palin/West2016 ]

oped:

I hope and pray that she runs for president. She will be the ONLY candidate brave enough to restore the constitution and represent WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. Not only would I vote for her but I will volunteer my time and money to help her get elected  

"Beats rooting for the Benghazi Butcher Hillary Clinton . Sarah wouldn't have abandoned our people in Benghazi, and wouldn't have LIED about a video. 

She's better than the elite choices being made by the GOP: Bush, Christy, and Romney! I WON'T VOTE FOR A RINO!!!!  "

By Tony Maglio 

Sarah Palin is “seriously interested” in pursuing the White House in 2016 — and no, this isn’t the setup for a late-night monologue joke.

“You can absolutely say that I am seriously interested,” Palin told The Washington Post on Friday. 

A day earlier, Palin expressed a similar sentiment to ABC News about possibly vying for the Republican presidential nomination. Not 24 hours had passed before she touched on the issue again, this time somewhat more forcefully.

“I’m really interested in the opportunity to serve at some point,” Palin told the newspaper.

“It is a significant step, of course, for anyone to publicly announce that they’re interested,” she continued. “Who wouldn’t be interested? Who wouldn’t be interested when they have been blessed with opportunities to speak about what is important to this country and for this country?”

That all expressed, Palin isn’t about to officially declare herself this weekend — and there won’t be pop-up campaign headquarters being constructed any time soon. This public feeler isn’t the first time that the former Alaska governor has teased going for the Oval Office — she mulled a presidential run ahead of the 2012 election cycle, but ultimately didn’t follow through.

Palin famously campaigned as John McCain’s vice presidential running mate for the 2008 election. The shocking, virtually unknown selection provided comedic fodder for sketches and stand-up acts across TV and pop culture, and offer plenty of ammunition for political talking heads as well.

Hey Obama...Hey Japan... Hey World at large re: ISIL beheadings...

Get a grip quit with the diatribes, pseudo outrages already...the people of the world are paying attention to the lack of resolve and action of so called world leaders! There was a time when real action was implemented in the world when radical Governments/Theocracies committed genocide against the world at large...

It is past due time for the world to take action against a 7th Century Theocracy hell bent on establishing a new world order called the Caliphate/Sharia Law...just a resurgence of the old Ottoman Empire led by the defunct /perverted Muslim Brotherhood that went underground in 1929 and has re-emerged!

The only cure and resolve to eliminate this threat is for all freedom loving countries to unite...send troops to the southern border of Iraq Fix Bayonets join hands East to West and charge swiftly north taking out everything that looks and acts like a duck ie: radical Islam no holds barred and no quarter given,nothing short will do...end this abomination once and for all! 

Sarah Palin on 2016: 'Of Course' She's Interested

oped: I truly hope Sarah jumps in...she is the only one at this point in time that can unite the conservative front and actually take on the opposition with the proverbial gloves off! The GOP just hasn't seemed to grasp the concept that 'We the People' do not want a Monarchy nor the continuation of the good ol' boy system (on both sides of the aisle)...enough is enough, real change is what we want meaning ... 'back to the future'... when the Constitution and Bill of Rights were respected!

By SHUSHANNAH WALSH 
Just before she heads to Iowa for the first major conservative showcase of the 2016 election cycle, Sarah Palin said “of course” she’s interested in the 2016 presidential election.
“Yeah, I mean, of course, when you have a servant’s heart, when you know that there is opportunity to do all you can to put yourself forward in the name of offering service, anybody would be interested,” Palin told ABC News' Neal Karlinsky while serving wild boar chili to the homeless in Las Vegas Thursday.

When asked again if she could be “possibly” interested in a presidential campaign, she answered, “We definitely had enough of seeing that -- America has had enough of seeing that -- sign on the Oval Office door saying, 'No Girls Allowed.' I know that.”

While serving up bowls to those gathered in line, the former Alaska governor clarified, “It doesn’t necessarily have to be me, though, but no, America is definitely ready for real change. 

Watch ABC News' Neal Karlinsky’s Full Interview with Sarah Palin on an Upcoming "Nightline" Segment.

“It doesn't have to be myself, but yes ... happy to drive that competition, because competition will make everyone better and produce more and be more candid regarding their solutions they will offer this country. I am very interested in that competitive process and, again, not necessarily me.”

Palin was in Las Vegas for the annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show and made a side trip to serve the chili at the Salvation Army in downtown Las Vegas. She was joined by her daughter, Bristol Palin, and they both wore hats and aprons advertising The Sportsman Channel, where Palin hosts “Amazing America with Sarah Palin.” 

Palin will be one of many big Republican names and possible presidential candidates in the Hawkeye State Saturday for the Iowa Freedom Summit, a conservative confab hosted by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. Others taking the stage include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, and former neurosurgeon and conservative star Ben Carson.

When asked about the familiar names already popping up in the potential GOP primary, including Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush, neither of whom will attend the Iowa Freedom Summit, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee quipped, “I can’t wait for new energy.” She added there had “better be a competition and not a coronation,” making it clear she thinks that’s the only way Republicans can beat Hillary Clinton, if the former first lady and secretary of state emerges as the Democratic nominee. 

“Big competition, and that competition in the GOP ... will surface that candidate who can take on Hillary, be ready for Hillary and show the nation what it is going to take to get the country back on the right track -- because we can't afford status quo, because status quo lately has been Latin for, 'We are getting screwed,' and status quo has got to go,” she said.

As for who she wants to see as that “right candidate,” she described the person as someone who will “turn things around, someone who will, in some respects, I don’t know, maybe be considered a bit avant garde, to the establishment anyway, because this next person has got to realize this is war, this is war for our hunters’ future.

“I want to help find that candidate that realizes that [their standing in the next election is] not what matters, that’s not what is at stake,” Palin said. “What's at stake is our children and our grandchildren’s future.” 

Palin even weighed in on the “ready for” campaigns, while not specifically referring to “Ready for Hillary” or “Ready for Warren.”

"[I] wonder what are our friends in the White House think when their peeps are out there trucking around chirping we are ready for change, for someone else," Palin said. "You wonder what they think they are going to accomplish in the next two years if even their own people are going, ‘Man, this isn't working. We need change.’”

Palin added she doesn’t believe 2016 is “going to be about the establishment on either side of the aisle.”

SARAH PALIN ON GOP MAJORITY: ‘It’s Not Just the Patriots Who Are Dealing with Deflated Balls’

Boom.

LAS VEGAS — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin declined to speculate on a potential 2016 run Thursday at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, but she did offer the GOP some free political advice. We caught up with Palin as she was promoting the second season of her show, “Amazing America,” which airs on the Sportsman Channel Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
“I’m not going to talk politics except to say the GOP had better go on offense. Man, they are not going to win any game on defense,” she told TheBlaze. “Being in the majority there in D.C. — we’re blowing it if we just bend our back.”

She added, “That GOP leadership, that establishment, they’ve got to get their stuff together. I love what they believe in, I believe in it too. But they’ve got to get tough, man. You know what? It’s not just the New England Patriots who are dealing with deflated balls right now.”

Army Lieutenant Clint Lorance Gets 19 Years at Ft. Levenworth because He defended his Troops against Islamic Jihadists

[Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance] 

oped: Here we go again...under the Obama administration the rules of engagement favor Barry Barack Hussein Soetoro Davis Obama  or whatever his real name is...(who knows all his records are still sealed) his  best buddies MB,ISIS, alQaeda and Taliban benefit from this Poser in Chief...wannabee Imam! 
How many times do we have to go down this road before Congress acts and Impeaches this seditionist traitor? 
SEE :  http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/search?q=Lt+behenna  



by:Tim Brown 

First Lieutenant Clint Lorance never imagined that following the rule of engagement to save not only his life, but the lives of his fellow soldiers against Islamic enemies would result in him spending nearly two decades in prison. But it did.   

Lorance, 30, had been trained to make split-second decisions and his training culminated in a real-life scenario in July 2012 when he and his squad were on a foot patrol in southern Afghanistan. He had just been made Platoon Leader after his predecessor had been severely wounded.
At that time, Lorance led his troops into a Taliban-infested territory, where their air support had indicated that there were enemy personnel were in the vicinity.
Jennifer Bucholtz reports what happened next.

While crossing a barricaded road designated only for military and police use, his platoon encountered a dreaded--and possibly deadly--threat: Three men on a motorcycle speeding directly towards them. Not only were the men driving on a prohibited road, but they ignored the platoon's verbal shouts and hand signals commanding them to stop. They also fit the description of the enemy personnel as described by the overhead surveillance team. Fearing an impending ambush and/or vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, either of which could have resulted in the loss of additional men (his unit had already lost four soldiers), Lorance commanded his gunners to open fire on the motorcycle. The first shots missed the riders. The three Afghan men on the motorcycle roared through the platoon formation, then came to a halt nearby. All three dismounted and began walking aggressively towards Lorance's troops, still ignoring commands to stop.

Not knowing whether the men might be armed with traditional weapons and/or suicide vests, he again gave permission to his men to open fire, resulting in the death of two of the Afghans. The third ran away but was found and detained later that day. His hands tested positive for homemade bomb-making materials residue, lending to the suspicion that he and his cohorts were preparing for an attack against American soldiers. Another local Afghan quickly retrieved the motorcycle from the scene and rode away on it before it could be collected as evidence or assessed for explosives. 

While this kind of scenario has happened many times during both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this particular scenario resulted in Lorance being convicted of murder of the two Afghans. No charges were brought against his men, who not only opened fire against the Afghans, but who also testified against him.
PFC. James Skelton told the Army Times, "He told me to engage."
"The ANA (Afghan National Army) started telling them to go back, waving to them to return towards the motorcycle, to stay away," Skelton testified. "They turned around and went back towards the motorcycle."
Skelton claimed that his shots missed, but didn't say whether any of his squad hit the two Afghans.

The soldiers of his squad said that he had tormented the Afghans and had made death threats against them.
Col. Allen West comments, "Any time two or more individuals are on a motorcycle approaching your convoy or position you can bet — if unarmed — they are scouts. And if they are scouts for a main attack, they are just as dangerous a threat."
After Lorance was convicted, and sentenced to twenty years at Ft. Levenworth, the decision was subsequently upheld, but his sentence was reduced by one year.

"Maj. Gen. Richard Clarke carefully reviewed the facts of US v. Lorance, to include the clemency requests submitted in August, October, November and December 2014," said Maj. Crystal Boring, a spokeswoman for the XVIII Airborne Corps, in a statement. "After an in-depth study of the case, he upheld the guilty verdict from the court martial panel and directed one year off the original sentence of 20 years confinement due to post-trial delay."
"The defense has now identified information linking five of seven Afghan military-aged males on the field that day with terror," said John Maher, Lorance's attorney, who believes that his client did not receive a fair trial. "Because the government has always had that information and did not disclose it to the command or the trial defense counsel, examining 1st Lt. Lorance's decision-making takes a back seat. We never get to that question."

In a report on January 21, the Army Times stated:
Basically, the government is obligated to disclose evidence that could negate guilt, reduce the degree of guilt or reduce the punishment for the accused, Maher said, citing the Rule for Courts-Martial.

"The first day at the Army JAG school, we're taught you turn over everything," said Maher, who also is a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve.

The government made a "serious legal error" by not turning over exonerating and/or mitigating evidence contained in government computer databases, Maher said.

If that information had been turned over, the defense might have taken a different approach, or the case may not even have made it to trial, said Maher, who points out Lorance never fired his weapon that day.

Three members of Congress have stepped forward and written a letter imploring the Army that Lorance's case should be further reviewed.
"Too often, cases involving rules of engagement present difficulty, Reps. Duncan Hunter, Ryan Zinke and Matt Salmon," wrote in a letter to Army Secretary John McHugh. "The warfighter doesn't always have the benefit of time, given lives are always at risk in a warzone."
"While the rules of engagement are in place for a reason and serve a critical purpose, any case that projects an alleged violation of the rules of engagement deserves a high level of attention and scrutiny," the letter continued. "It is our belief, based on information brought to our attention, that Lorance's case requires further review."
While Hunter does not believe the military justice system has failed Lorance, due to the fact that his case is still under appeal, he did write, "information brought to our attention raises the prospect that investigators and Lorance's command are in possession of information that could validate the assertion that the deceased Afghans were enemy fighters and responsible for the emplacement of improvised explosive devices."

"We sincerely hope that as Lorance's appeal is heard, the proper documentations are made with reliance on the full scope of evidence regarding Lorance's actions," the congressmen wrote. "Further, should the outcome not change, we ask for your immediate commitment to allow us to view specific (and possibly overlooked) evidence."
While the Army claimed that the men on the motorcycles were not enemy combatants at Lorance's court martial, Fox News reports, "new evidence in the case is leading to calls for clemency for Lorance. Anna Lorance said the family has not heard anything from the Army since Nov. 30, when their lawyer submitted papers seeking to have the conviction overturned. Lorance said new evidence obtained by the family's lawyer indicates the men who were shot may actually have had ties to terrorism."

According to Lorance's mother, the Army withheld that information.
Since that time, a petition has been made to grant a presidential pardon to Lt. Lorance. I have signed the petition, which now has over the necessary 100,000 signatures to warrant a response from the usurper-in-chief, which I admit I'm not expecting anything positive from since he is a traitor to this nation. Furthermore, it is his rules of engagement that have led to the deaths of hundreds of our military men, including those of Extortion 17.
In this writer's opinion, it is not Lt. Lorance or his men that should be made to pay for what took place. They did what they were sent to do by an enemy of America, Barack Hussein Obama. Obama won't be issuing a pardon, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't stand up for Lt. Lorance, who in this situation seems to have been sold out by his fellow soldiers, who fired at his command, but don't want to take the responsibility for acting in a manner to save lives.

 

Actor Dean Cain Threatens to Kick Seth Rogen’s Ass Over ‘American Sniper’ Comments

By Reagan Wilson 
Actor Dean Cain was a personal friend to deceased sniper Chris Kyle so it’s easy to see why the man who once portrayed Superman is up in arms over Seth Rogen’s latest comments about ‘American Sniper’, which chronicles Kyle’s life.



Cain was responding to Rogen’s tweet from earlier this week.
According to Rogen’s tweet:



The film Rogen is referencing was a fictional Nazi propaganda film.

Former Secret Service Agent Calls Obama ‘A Petulant Child’

 

[Obama ‘Petulant Child’ Says Secret Service]
By: Rusty  

#Petulant
A war of words is brewing between the Secret Service and President Obama over the latter’s failure to show up for an anti-terrorist rally in Paris. Obama, as is often the case, couldn’t man up and accept blame for the poor optics of failing to lead at a rally that saw over 50 other world leaders in attendance. Instead, he tossed the Secret Service squarely under the bus saying there were security concerns that would have been distracting.
An Admin official who declined to be identified said security requirements for the Pres or VP might have been distracting from the march.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) January 12, 2015
The Secret Service fired back, saying they were never even asked to prepare for an Obama trip to Paris.
And now, a former Secret Service agent has joined the fray, referring to Obama’s staff as “amateur hour” and saying the President was simply “acting like a petulant child.” 

Via the Daily Caller:
Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino blasted President Obama’s decision to blame security concerns for his decision not to attend an anti-terrorism rally in Paris.
…
“He knows there’s nothing the Secret Service can say. They don’t want to hurt the relationship so as a matter of decorum they can’t say anything,” Bongino said. “I imagine what they’re really thinking is, ‘Is this guy serious?’ It’s not an easy job. After the fence-jumper, morale’s not great over there now, but he still says something that is so obviously not true.”
“Just look at the Mandela funeral which was geometrically worse when it comes to threat and he went to that because he wanted to go. If the president wants to go he goes. The Secret Service doesn’t tell him he can’t go. That’s only in movies.”

“It’s not the first time. We had the White House tours incident. I’m not going to say he’s the first president to blame someone outside of his own executive office, but does he take responsibility for anything? Incorrigible is really the word for him. He acts like a child and no one outside of conservative media holds him to account. These people are forfeiting their lives for you… This guy is just acting like a petulant child.”
“My experience with his staff is they are just amateur hour,” Bongino added. “They don’t know whats going on. There’s really only one channel to him: Valerie Jarrett. This doesn’t function like a regular White House…Instead of just doing what a responsible White House would do and say we blew it, they are completely incapable of acting like adults. It’s infuriating.”

It’s clear to everyone that President Obama made a mistake by not attending the rally, but rather than admit to that mistake, he turns to the knee-jerk reaction of blaming somebody else for the poor optics.
This time it was the Secret Service. Who will it be next time?
Do you agree with Bongino? Is President Obama nothing more than a ‘petulant child?’

MIT Climate Scientist: Global Warming Believers a ‘Cult’

oped: It appears as if the establishment GOP are on board and pushing the two time loser Mitt Romney again! See: http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2015/01/romney-global-warming-is-real-and.html  



A cult looking for money to continue their research which in turn leads to bigger government which in turn leads to more money for their studies. What a cycle the liberals have invented!
Check it out:
An MIT professor of meteorology is dismissing global-warming alarmists as a discredited “cult” whose members are becoming more hysterical as emerging evidence continues to contradict their beliefs.
During an appearance on this writer’s radio show Monday, MIT Professor emeritus Richard Lindzen discussed the religious nature of the movement.


“As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more fanatical. I think that’s what’s happening here. Think about it,” he said. “You’ve led an unpleasant life, you haven’t led a very virtuous life, but now you’re told, you get absolution if you watch your carbon footprint. It’s salvation!”
Lindzen, 74, has issued calm dismissals of warmist apocalypse, reducing his critics to sputtering rage.
Last week, government agencies including NASA announced that 2014 was the “hottest year” in “recorded history,” as The New York Times put it in an early edition. Last year has since been demoted by the Times to the hottest “since record-keeping began in 1880.”

Sheriffs Sound off on Islamic ‘Terror Camps’ in U.S.

 

We need to be ready for these terrorists living among us.
Check it out:
Because Jamaat al-Fuqra and Muslims of America are not on the State Department’s foreign terrorist list, state and local law enforcement have less freedom to monitor them, said Clare Lopez, vice president of research and analysis for the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C.
“I don’t know if Jamaat al-Fuqra has ties to al-Qaida, but they are known to be a jihadist organization,” Lopez said. “They’re definitely jihadist in their ideology, and what’s concerning is they are in the U.S.”


[Jihad Training Camps in the USA – What Every American Needs to Know]

Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was investigating Jamaat al-Fuqra in 2002 and was on his way to interview Gilani in Pakistan when he was kidnapped and beheaded.
“And the one who did the beheading was Khalid Sheikh Muhammad (the al-Qaida operative considered the architect of the 9/11 attacks),” Lopez said. “A lot of these groups are not formally connected. But they are jihadist and any group with a jihadi ideology is linked by Islam. Sometimes they do cooperate across organizational structures.”
Iran helps fund Hamas, for instance, even though Iran is Shiite and Hamas is Sunni Muslim.

“It’s the fundamental ideology that binds them even when the sectarian differences might divide them,” Lopez said. “All of Islamic doctrine divides the world into Dar al-Islam and the Dar al-Harb, and it’s the Dar al-Harb that becomes the target either through conquest or through civilizational jihad… so they do cooperate against the enemy, which is us.”
Three criteria must be met for a group to get placed on the State Department’s foreign terrorist list: The group must be foreign based, it must have committed violent acts, and it must be deemed a national-security threat. The State Department reviews its list every two years.
The Center for Security Policy released a study Jan. 16 that outlines a new strategy Lopez says would provide a more systematic and thorough assessment of the global jihadist threat, both at home and abroad.

Is America Becoming an Idiocracy?

via:GodFather Politics

When watching Obama's State of the Union show, with his laundry list of Nanny-State proposals and usurpation of our God-given rights, remember that nothing of this world lasts forever. That includes nations. 

The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans; none stood the test of time.
In 1787, a crowd gathered outside the hall where the Constitutional convention was held in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. As the doors were opened and the delegates began to emerge, a woman identified only as Mrs. Powell of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" 

Franklin is said to have answered, “A Republic, madam, if you can keep it.”
The more I learn of the founders of our nation, the more convinced I am that they were and are still the greatest collection of minds to walk this earth.
Franklin knew, as did the other founders, a republic, like children, must be nurtured and given constant attention, lest it stray down the wrong path.
The founders charged the citizens of this country actively to pursue righteousness in our elected officials and to remain alert to the activities at every level of government.
With each passing decade, we have become forgetful and complacent. The average American today knows little to nothing of our own founding or the original intent of our government, or what those people endured to allow us the opportunity to rule ourselves.

Yet over time we have willingly squandered that opportunity to instead choose to be ruled by those who should serve us.
Some would say that the citizenry is just too busy to be bothered by such things. As our society has "evolved" and "progressed," it is said that things have just become too complicated and the founders could not have foreseen the problems of today.
Woodrow Wilson said just that as he advocated for a "Living Constitution." Is that not why we have elected officials? We send the politicians (the smart people) off to fight on our behalf and deal with the bedeviling issues of our time, so we may get back to whatever seems to be more important. As long as our lives don’t measurably change, all is evidently well.
All, unfortunately, isn't well. We are teetering on the precipice of tyranny and most don’t even realize it or care. It seems a growing majority of this country believes the government was formed to take care of us -- to be our security blanket.

Again, Franklin had an answer for that when he exclaimed, “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”

Sam Adams stated, "The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men."  

They knew that throughout every society, since the beginning of time, one overriding thing has not and will never change -- human nature. No matter how evolved and sophisticated we think we've become, it can always be boiled down to that one thing.
Every great society eventually becomes decadent and intellectually lazy; it's human nature, and America is not exempt from this tendency.
I am reminded of a movie from years ago called Idiocracy, where mankind has not evolved, but devolved into a collection of morons concerned and consumed only with the worst inclinations of society.

Look around you. Watch some “man on the street” interviews. The latest one asks questions about Martin Luther King, Jr. Some people believed that he had just died (He was assassinated on April 4, 1968.) Another person believed he walked on the moon.  Everywhere is the pursuit of self-gratification and nothing more. The average American is more likely to know the judges on American Idol than a single Supreme Court justice.
As in Idiocracy,” we glorify sex, violence, and fame.
Our lives are broadcast to the world via Facebook, You Tube, and Twitter. Why? Because it seems everyone wishes just to be famous and, of course, people are idolized for just being famous.

Nowhere is the violence in our society more evident than the rise of the gladiator culture via the explosive popularity of Mixed Martial Arts competitions. They enter, not just a ring, but a cage, beat that heck out each other, for fame and our amusement. The only things missing are weapons and lions. Give them time. I understand that combatants have been killed during these fights. They have not been allowed to televise them -- yet. Again, give it time.
Why do we care about people like the bubble-head Kim Kardashian? Because she is attractive? No, not just because she is attractive, but also due to her sexual persona. She is famous for being famous, yet by all accounts she's never done a worthwhile thing. And for that she is celebrated and enriched.
Watch your TV or listen to your radio. It seems the commercials are either about promoting government or sex. Male enhancement drugs, female sensitivity formulas -- Viagra, Cialas, and of course, advice from the government on how to properly order our lives. Is this what we’re most concerned with?

Will it be okay to hand over our republic to tyrants as long as they allow us watch UFC and have lots of sex? You can take away our gun rights, but don’t cancel “Dancing with American X Factor Idol Stars that think they have Talent”.
Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, said: "Without morals, a republic cannot subsist any length of time."

Senate votes that climate change is real

oped: It appears as if the establishment GOP are on board and pushing the two time loser Mitt Romney again! See: http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2015/01/romney-global-warming-is-real-and.html

The Senate on Wednesday voted that “climate change is real and is not a hoax” as Democrats used the Keystone XL pipeline debate to force votes on the politically charged issue ahead of the 2016 elections.
The “hoax” amendment to the pipeline bill from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) passed 98-1, with only Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, the chairman of the Senate Republican campaign arm, voting “no.”
In a surprise, the Senate’s leading skeptic of climate science, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), voted in favor of the amendment — but made clear he doesn’t believe humans are the primary driver of climate change.

The GOP “yes” votes also included three of the GOP’s leading contenders for the White House: Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.).
Republicans backed Inhofe’s stance in a second vote, rejecting an amendment from Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) that stated, “climate change is real and human activity significantly contributes to climate change.”
The “significantly” in the provision is what many Republicans pointed to as a point of contention as they blocked the amendment in a 50-49 vote, short of the 60 that was needed for approval.

The truth about Islam our elites willfully ignore

oped: Indeed...people need to stop with sound bites and talking points and do the research on who and what Islam is all about...ancient history 101...those who ignore history are bound to repeat it! 
Start your qest for the truth here:
http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-life-and-times-of-muhammad_5191.html

To many in the Muslim world, the United States is “the great Satan.” Nevertheless, there is no place safer and more prosperous in the world for a Muslim to live than right here.
Why is that?
It’s because there is something fundamental about Islam we have chosen to ignore due to political correctness. This truth is so self-evident, I find myself nodding my head in agreement with Bill Maher — someone whose worldview is the polar opposite of mine — whenever he speaks on the subject of the West and Islam.
This truth is that Islam has literally been at war with others and itself from the very beginning. It’s founder, Muhammad, spent the last two decades of his life in almost constant warfare. Unlike Christ, who willingly gave up his own life to pay the penalty for the sins of others, Muhammad died taking the lives of others who would not willingly submit to Allah. 

This is historical fact.
Since Muhammad left no obvious heir, his followers immediately broke down into rival camps — our modern-day Sunnis and Shiites — that have been warring with each other since long before the Holy Roman Empire gave birth to what we now know as Western Civilization. Furthermore, one of the rationales for forming the Holy Roman Empire in the first place was to combat the Muslim invasion of Europe.

This is another historical fact.
Much of what we today call the “Muslim world” was originally a key component of the Christian world. In fact, the term “Christians” was first applied to Jesus’ followers in Syria. The apocalyptic Book of Revelation begins with letters to seven churches in what was then called Asia Minor, which is our modern-day Turkey. Some of the oldest enclaves of Christianity were in places like Egypt and Lebanon, but their numbers dwindled considerably throughout the centuries due to violent Islamic conquest of those regions.

1,700 private jets fly to Davos to discuss perils of ‘climate change’

by JoyceLambert 

Can you say hypocrisy?
A squadron of 1,700 private jets are rumbling into Davos, Switzerland, this week to discuss global warming and other issues as the annual World Economic Forum gets underway.
The influx of private jets is so great, the Swiss Armed Forces has been forced to open up a military air base for the first time ever to absorb all the super rich flying their private jets into the event, reports Newsweek.
“Decision-makers meeting in Davos must focus on ways to reduce climate risk while building more efficient, cleaner, and lower-carbon economies,” former Mexican president Felipe Calderon told USA Today.


Davos, which has become a playground of sorts for the global elite, is expected to feature at least 40 heads of state and 2,500 top business executives. Former Vice President-turned-carbon billionaire Al Gore and rapper Pharrell Williams will be there as well; each plans to discuss global warming and recycling respectively.
Another big theme of the mega-rich confab will be combating “income inequality” and how the world’s rich can pay their fair share to reduce the gap between top earners and the lower class. Admission price for Davos: roughly $40,000 a ticket.

'Shake It Off' cop hopes viral video helps 'get a little tarnish off the badge'

via:YahooNews 
'Police in general [have] been getting crazy negative publicity,' Master Cpl. Jeff Davis says
The Delaware police officer who has become a viral video sensation for his lip-sync rendition of Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" from behind the wheel of his cruiser says he did it, in part, to help improve the image of police around the country.

"It's nice to get the word out there and get a little positive attention for the police department," Master Cpl. Jeff Davis of the Dover Police Department said on NBC's "Today" show. "For us, get a little tarnish off the badge and shine it up a bit, because we've been getting a lot of negative publicity. Police in general [have] been getting crazy negative publicity."

Davis, a father of four, said that when his department picked him for the task, to boost its Facebook ratings, he already knew most of the words to Swift's hit because his daughter "loves her."

Besides, Davis said, "I'm kind of a crazy kind of guy anyway. I like to have fun. When they picked me, I was 100 percent for it."

The video of Davis rocking out to the pop song has racked up more than 20 million views since it was posted by the department to YouTube on Saturday, garnering high praise around the world — even from Swift herself.

But according to Davis, the most gratifying response came from a French police officer who said he was working at France's central law enforcement office and wrote: "In a time of trouble in the Paris area, we all greatly appreciate this moment of bliss."

Ex-Muslim Tells of Literal Slaughterhouses where Kidnapped Christians are Dissected and their Organs Sold to Islamic Nations

By Onan Coca 

This may be one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever had to report on. The intrepid and brave Walid and Theodore Shoebat are reporting on a story out of Albania that has been breaking over the last couple of months. Muslim Albanians in Kosovo are apparently kidnapping Christians in an effort to harvest and sell
their organs before killing them. 

their organs before killing them.
A Serbian Christian and former Special Forces officer tipped them off to the insidious story.
“They abduct people in Kosovo, Serbian people — in some cases Albanian people — and they take their organs… they torture the people and take their organs while they are still live.” He also said that the victims are usually, “Christians serbs, young women, and men, and also children.” 

While the story may seem unbelievable – this isn’t the first reporting being done on the terrifying subject. A documentary produced in Germany also told the story of Albanian terrorists victimizing Christian Serbs to sell their organs. 

Even with multiple accounts and other international outlets corroborating these stories, the Shoebat’s have faced criticism and disbelief.
Yet when Shoebat.com was the first to report on the human slaughterhouses in Syria, in which we obtained one man’s account who gave much detail on the operation regarding Christians and Shiites who were also slaughtered and mutilated. People still questioned it, until of course we obtained original source accounts with extremely troubling footage to back up one man’s testimony and it all checked out…
Shoebat.com also reported on how Syrian Muslims would put their children into rape sessions for money and sell their organs 

We also reported on how the Muslim jihadists in Syria take Christians, drain their blood, and sell vials of blood for $100,000 each to Saudi Arabia because the Arab Muslims have a demonic superstition that if they wash their hands with Christian blood they can obtain salvation.
We also reported on Islamic cannibalism [see here, here, here,, here and here] and so many doubted until of course the truth came out on film when a terrorist ate a human heart and when we showed translated footage on Al-Nas, an Egyptian major media which sanctioned the practice.
We deal with rescuing Christians and being at the tip of he spear we hear of horrific stories. Folks who do not deal with evil and see it first hand have a tendency not to believe until they are in the midst of it. There is such a thing as pure evil, dark, remorseless and hideously ugly.
And instead of trusting our reports, the world still accused us, not the evil ones who perpetrated such evil.
The Shoebat’s have worked hard to uncover the hidden violence of Islamic terrorism – the evil that even the terrorists don’t yet want the world to see – and for their efforts they are scorned by the mainstream media. While the violence and depravity that they have reported on may seem… impossibly evil… it is of vital importance that we understand, it is REALLY HAPPENING.
It is our duty to tell the world about the atrocities being committed in the name of Islam. The many thousands of victims deserve justice, but even more, they deserve to be remembered.

Below is the first hand video that was smuggled out of the slaughterhouses and the Shoebat’s released to the world.

Please be advised the videos are incredibly graphic and not suitable for everyone

Rick Perry’s Gift to Texas’ Governor-Elect…A Bible Verse?

{Gov Rick Perry 2016? }

by:Jake MacAulay

For this week's commentary, I just want to say that I love Jesus Christ! He is not only the greatest Teacher to ever live, but also the best political leader.   

His statutes and judgments were always perfect! People, not himself, were always the top of His priority. He knew when to give harsh critique of the self-righteous; and when to give necessary justice in times of political hypocrisy. He acknowledged the need and legitimacy of the state when He taught "Render under Caesar that which is Caesar's." Then He limited that political power by saying "Render unto God, that which is God's!" He distinguished the two powers, placing the emphasis on God's authority.

This January, part of that biblical, civil government authority was passed from one governor-elect to another in the state of Texas.

Outgoing Texas Gov. Rick Perry, while keeping in tradition of the state of Texas, handed over a very coveted copy of the Bible to Governor-elect Greg Abbott. As has been tradition in Texas, Perry underlined a scripture inside of the book for the incoming governor to mediate on.
First of all, I want to compliment the tradition of the state of Texas; and secondly, compliment the verse that Governor Rick Perry chose to pass along. I am so grateful for the former governor's decision to keep this tradition alive. I believe it is traditions like this that cause these United States to remain a Republic, where authority is derived from our Creator and that all law is subject to the laws He has given us in Nature and the Bible.
The purpose of government in the U.S. is clearly stated in the Declaration of Independence: "…that to secure these (God-given) rights…governments are instituted among men."

Don't you wish every governor in this Union would subscribe to the American View of Government: "there is a Creator God; our God-given rights come from Him; and the purpose - the only purpose - of government is to protect our God-given rights"?   

This American View can very easily be extracted from Governor Perry's admonishing Scripture…
"But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many."

Will the Natural Born Citizen Requirements for President Haunt GOP Candidates in 2016?

oped: Just food for thought...is this the reason the GOP Congress fails to Impeach Obama...they want to keep their proverbial heads in the sand and turn a blind eye to the Constitution /Bill of Rights? 

by:Suzanne Hamner 

Most everyone is familiar with the saying, "two wrongs don't make a right." What this commonly refers to is that violating a law, ethic or moral, is justified as long as someone else does. For example, an employee embezzles from his employer because his employer is cheating on his taxes. Both are clearly wrong and in violation of the law; but one precedent of wrong-doing by one does not make it acceptable to engage in additional wrong-doing or the same wrong-doing by another. It becomes a fallacy that the actions cancel each other out.   

For the past six years, Barack Obama's eligibility to hold the office of the president has been questioned on the "natural born citizen" requirement. And, many debate what constitutes a "natural born citizen." While some may disagree, "natural born citizen" refers to a person, regardless of birth location, born to citizen parents in some sources; whereas, other sources follow natural law meaning the individual, regardless of birth location, follows the citizenship of the father to be classified as "natural born." Either way, this brings into question the eligibility of Obama to even seek the office much less occupy the office of the presidency. It is known that Obama's alleged mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was a US citizen; but, Obama's Kenyan father, as listed on his "legal" birth certificate, has never been proven to be a US citizen through naturalization.

So, the Democrats put forth upon the American people a candidate whose eligibility was questionable under the "natural born citizen" requirement. Using the saying, "two wrongs don't make a right," some Republicans are considering a 2016 presidential bid who do not meet the eligibility requirements to hold the office of the president according to the US Constitution.

It's been rumored that Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal considered throwing their hats into the bid for the Republican presidential nomination. However, neither are considered "natural born citizens" as their parents were not "naturalized" before either was born. Their fathers were citizens of other countries – Jindal, India and Rubio, Cuba – at the time of birth. While these two are not considered favorites or outstanding among more prominent or establishment Republican candidates, one Republican has the merits to challenge the more prominent establishment Republicans – Ted Cruz. 

At the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention, Cruz told "Breitbart News that he's 'very, very seriously' considering launching a presidential candidacy for 2016." According to Cruz, Democrats are likely to win in 2016 just as they did in the last two presidential elections unless a bold conservative wins the GOP nomination. While Cruz has garnered widespread support for his stance again certain unconstitutional issues, the real question centers around his eligibility. Is Ted Cruz a natural born citizen?
The answer is he is not. Rafael Cruz, Ted's father, did not become a naturalized American citizen until 2005. Ted Cruz was born in 1970 before his father became naturalized. Even though Cruz's mother was a US citizen at the time of his birth, his father was not meaning Cruz does not meet the definition of "natural born citizen." 

While many conservatives and Republicans support Cruz, are conservatives and Republicans willing to back a candidate with a "questionable" eligibility, just as the Democrats and liberals did with Obama? Is Cruz, himself, willing to put himself in the position of violating the "natural born citizen" requirement to seek the office of president? His serious consideration on launching a presidential run would suggest that he is.
America has been witness to the problems with a president who has questionable eligibility. Obama has certainly not demonstrated an allegiance to America – both where his citizenship and ideology are concerned. Are we to say that a questionable citizenship is palatable as long as the ideology is the same as ours? A citizen of the United States is not the same as a "natural-born citizen" and both are different from a naturalized citizen.

To support the requirement of President be extended to include "citizens" would be to promote "anchor" babies to occupy the highest office in our nation, regardless of the citizenship condition of the parents at the time of the child's birth. Even if that "anchor" baby's ideology is the same as a sect of the US population, do Americans really want to continue eating that can of worms the Democrats and liberals opened with Obama?
Have we all not already been witness to individuals in government who "slide" on the Supreme Law of the Land from both sides of the aisle? Do we not rale against those who violate our Constitution regardless of party or ideology?  

Ted Cruz has been a Senator who prides himself on knowing the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. His father, in his speeches, talked about how he taught his children the Constitution. But, it appears Cruz is willing to "pick and choose" the parts of the Constitution to stand behind instead of supporting it as a whole. The reason being a bid for the presidency as a "bold conservative."   

Are conservative and Republican Americans willing to wear the label "hypocrite" that they so generously apply to liberals in order to "put their man in?" Are conservative and Republican Americans willing to commit the same wrong as the Democrats and liberals in order to "counteract" a previous wrong? It appears that Cruz is receiving plenty of encouragement and support to make a run for the White House. As it stands, many conservatives and Republicans have no problem engaging in the same activities as liberals and Democrats.   

Granted, the Republicans considering throwing their hat into the ring for a presidential bid do not look promising. America certainly doesn't need Hitlery or another Democrat. Neither does America need a RINO or establishment Republican stooge. However, should the conservatives and Republicans of America toss out the Supreme Law of the Land just because someone else did it? Ask yourself this. "Would America be in as bad a shape today had Obama been properly vetted and the Constitutional requirements for a presidential run been enforced?" No one can say for sure. However, Obama would not have been president meaning certain problems being faced in this country today might not have occurred. As we all have seen, once someone who has questionable eligibility attains the presidency, they are not easily removed.   

Two wrongs don't make a right. If some conservatives and Republicans are willing to let the requirements for the office of president slide in order to elect "their man," can these people really call themselves conservatives and supporters of the Constitution?
Should Cruz throw his hat into the ring, it will be interesting to see how the Republican establishment, Democrats, Liberals, some conservatives and judges react when it comes to the eligibility of Cruz to run for office. If they do not allow Cruz the option to run based on the "natural born citizen" requirement, this presents a conundrum as the same situation was questioned with Obama. If they vet Cruz as eligible, it will mean the "natural born citizen" requirement of the Constitution has been dissolved without so much as the passage of an amendment or a piece of legislation changing those requirements.

Being a "natural born" citizen does not preclude one from having an ideology antithetical to this nation's founding; but, it does satisfy one of the requirements expressed in the Constitution in order to hold the office. While Ted Cruz garners avid support and admiration among some Americans, the Constitution is our law. If we are so willing to abandon the law for beautiful, exhilarating speech, and follow up one wrong with another, then, America deserves a future based on the whims of man instead of the rule of law.

 

Ginsburg And Kagan Must Recuse Themselves On ‘Gay Marriage’ Case

oped: Even if they do and they should, this case will be a little iffy being that Justice Kennedy sided with the left on the DOMA case: "

Justice Antonin Scalia called Kennedy's analysis in the DOMA case "jaw dropping" and an assertion of "judicial supremacy" that "envisions the Supreme Court standing (or rather enthroned) at the apex of government."

And this from a close friend -- Scalia and Kennedy joined the court a year apart, were born the same year, and live on the same street."   

As compared to his colleague Justice John Roberts who makes his decisions based on the rule of law rather than on emotion ie: 

"When the Supreme Court heard the oral arguments for and against the constitutionality of DOMA  March 2013, Chief Justice John Roberts probably noticed a familiar face in the crowd — his openly gay cousin, Jean Podrasky.

At the time, Podrasky found the arguments difficult to hear, and a little nerve-racking, no doubt in part because Podrasky was engaged to be married to her partner, and stuck in limbo until the Court issued its decision on California’s Proposition 8.

Now that the ruling is in, Podrasky says that the magnitude of the ruling overwhelms whatever personal disagreements she has with her cousin, who signed on with the minority view that DOMA should be upheld."  

{ Kennedy is expected back in his familiar seat, just to the left of Chief Justice John Roberts on the bench. But clearly he is the man in the middle, and the man that in many ways shapes the direction of a divided court. }

Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elana Kagan must recuse themselves from the upcoming decision on homosexual marriage.
The reason is simple: their impartiality on the matter has been hopelessly compromised.
Here’s how Title 28, Part I, Chapter 21, Section 455 of the U.S. Code reads (emphasis mine): Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”

Thus any justice who has tipped his hand on how he would vote on gay marriage, any justice who has taken sides, any justice whose ability to be objective on the matter in question, has a legal, moral, ethical and professional duty to withdraw. In fact, he would be violating federal law if he didn’t. His sacred, sworn duty as a justice is to uphold the law, not break it.
Both Kagan and Ginsburg have performed same-sex wedding ceremonies. Ginsburg has at least three and maybe five such ceremonies under her belt, and she had the effrontery to perform one of them in the chambers of the Supreme Court itself.

Prosecutor Found Dead HOURS Before Testifying On Iran Terror Cover-Up

by:Rachel Stoltzfoos 
 Alberto Nisman was found dead in his home hours before he was due in court to substantiate an accusation that Argentina's president is working to let Iran off the hook for a 1994 terror attack in exchange for Iranian oil. 

Nisman formally accused Argentine President Christina Kirchner on Wednesday of talking to Iranian Hezbollah agents suspected of blowing up the AMIA Jewish community center in 1994, hoping to work a deal granting immunity to the state-sponsored terrorists in exchange for much-needed Iranian oil, reported The Wall Street Journal.

"I could end up dead because of this," Nisman, 51, told an Argentine newspaper a few days later, according to Reuters. He had been investigating the case on his own for 10 years.
Sunday night, he was found dead.
The 1994 blast killed 85 people, making it one of the deadliest attacks on Jews since World War II. Argentina has accused Iran of sponsoring the attack, and in 2007 Interpol issued arrest warrants for a group of Iranians. But the families of the victims are still seeking justice.
Fernandez tried to form a joint "truth commission" in 2013 with Iran, ostensibly to continue investigating the bombing. But Nisman claimed he had years of phone calls proving the goal of the commission was to get the Iranian suspects off the hook, so Argentina could normalize relations with Iran and get oil needed to close the country's yearly $7 billion energy deficit, reported Reuters.

Iran never ratified the commission, and an Argentine court struck it down. Fernandez's Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich called Nisman's allegations "crazy, absurd, illogical, irrational, ridiculous, unconstitutional," and said the government has been working to resolve the case.
Nisman was found dead hours before he was supposed to explain the formal complaint in court. The official report from Argentina's Ministry of National Security indicates his death was a suicide, reported The Daily Beast.
Ten federal agents were assigned to Nisman's security team, but apparently none of them were on-duty when he died.

When some of the agents realized Sunday afternoon he was not answering his phone or the front door, and that the Sunday papers were still outside, they called his mother. She and some of the agents went to his apartment, and had to call a locksmith to unlock the front door.
Once inside they found his body inside the bathroom blocking the door. An empty shell casing and a .22 caliber handgun were also found nearby. The report doesn't provide any more explicit detail about the condition of his body.

"Everything indicates it was a suicide," Secretary of National Security Sergio Berni told local new outlets. "We have to see if gunpowder is found on his hands."
The head of a group that represents Jewish interests in Argentina compared Nisman's death to the initial bombing. "The bomb at AMIA has exploded again today," Julio Schlosser said in a statement Monday.
Israel's Foreign Ministry mourned Nisman's death in a statement Monday, and told Argentine officials to continue his work, reported Reuters.
