MASSACRE ON TUNISIAN BEACH

Jihadists with a hatred of beach life murdered 28 people on a Tunisian beach:

Beachgoers scattered in terror as gunfire raked a popular Tunisian seaside resort on Friday, killing at least 28 people and injuring some three dozen others, according to Tunisian authorities. It was the second major strike in just over three months against a tourist target in the North African country.

The assault took place outside a luxury beach hotel in the Tunisian city of Sousse, at noontime on a hot summer day when the seaside was crowded with visitors including Britons and Germans, according to Tunisian officials cited by state media. The city, about 90 miles south of the capital, Tunis, is a popular destination for tourists from Europe as well as elsewhere in the country and the region.

Officials initially believed there were two attackers, but later said the strike appeared to have been carried out by a lone gunman, who was shot dead. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though suspicion fell on Islamic militants who have sought to destabilize Tunisia by harming its fragile economy.

That's just who the barbarians were, but the LA Times would rather put their heads in the sand than be clear about the facts. A lot of Arab/Muslim countries suffered from the phony Arab Spring's effect, and now it looks like Tunisia's following next.

JIHADIST MURDERS HIS FRENCH EMPLOYER

An Islamofascist in France decapitated his boss:

Three French officials say the man whose severed head was found hanging at the gate of an American gas factory that was attacked in France was the employer of suspect.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, said the victim was believed to have died before the suspect got a car through the factory's gates and rammed into gas canisters Friday morning. That triggered an explosion that officials say injured two people. A decapitated body and flags with Arabic writing were found at the entrance.

The security official, who was not authorized to speak to the media and requested anonymity, said the victim was the head of a local transportation company and was believed to have been killed before the explosion. His name was not released.

Authorities had said his body was found near the site of the attack.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve says multiple people have been arrested. “People who could have participated in this abject crime are in custody after having been arrested,” he told journalists.

The attack took place at the Air Products factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier near Lyon.

Cazeneuve said the prime suspect was believed to be from the area and had been flagged in 2006 for ties to Islamic extremists, but surveillance was dropped in 2008.

France opened a terrorism investigation after the attack. One official said banners with Arabic writing were found near the body.

Here again, we find a case where surveillance was abandoned out of certain political correctness - and weakness. And because of that, another innocent human's lost his life. How much more of this is France and Europe going to put up with before it becomes clear exile is the only way to deal with Islamofascists?

HERE'S WHY OBAMA REALLY CALLED ISIS "THE JV":

OBAMA CALLED ISIS THE "JV" BECAUSE HE AND HIS COMRADES ARE THE VARSITY!

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS BEEN INSTIGATING A RACE WAR FOR PARTISAN GAIN

THE ONLY WAY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IS BY OVERWHELMINGLY CARRYING THE URBAN COUNTIES IN LARGE STATES WITH MANY ELECTORAL VOTES.

THE ONLY WAY THEY OVERWHELMINGLY CARRY THESE URBAN COUNTIES IS BY GETTING AN OVERWHELMING PERCENTAGE OF MINORITY VOTES.

THE ONLY WAY THEY GET AND OVERWHELMING PERCENTAGE OF THESE VOTES IS BY PORTRAYING THE GOP AS RACIST.

AND BY PORTRAYING EVERY MINORITY GOP ACTIVIST AS AN INAUTHENTIC TRAITOR.

CLARENCE THOMAS WAS PORTRAYED BY THEM AS A TRAITOR. SO IS CONDI RICE, ALLEN WEST, TIM SCOTT, BEN CARSON, AND HERMAN CAIN.

COLIN POWELL WAS, BUT THEY GAVE HIM HIS AUTHENTICITY BACK WHEN HE ENDORSED OBAMA.

(AUTHENTICITY FOR THE LEFT IS SOLELY BASED ON PARTY ALLEGIANCE.

OBAMA'S BIOGRAPHY PROVES THAT HE IS IN FACT NOT AN AUTHENTIC AFRICAN-AMERICAN;

• NO ONE IN HIS FAMILY TREE WAS EVER A SLAVE, 
• NONE WERE VICTIMS OF JIM CROW, 
• NONE FOUGHT - OR EVER EVEN MARCHED FOR CIVIL RIGHTS, 
• NONE EVER LIVED IN A GHETTO. 
• OBAMA HIMSELF WAS RAISED MIDDLE CLASS - 
• IN A MUSLIM HOUSEHOLD AND IN A MADRASSA IN INDONESIA, 
• AND IN A MULTI-CULTI PRIVATE SCHOOL IN HAWAII.

CLARENCE THOMAS IS TRULY AN AUTHENTIC AFRICAN-AMERICAN: DESCENDED FROM SLAVES, RAISED IN THE SEGREGATED SOUTH, ETC.

BUT BECAUSE THOMAS IS A CONSERVATIVE, HE IS CALLED INAUTHENTIC AND DERIDED BY THE LEFT; WHEREAS OBAMA IS CALLED AND TREATED AS IF HE WERE AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND NOT WHAT HE TRULY IS: A KENYAN-AMERICAN.)

AS MORE AND MORE MINORITIES BECOME ACTIVE IN THE GOP AND ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE OF THE POLITICAL DIVIDE, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS BECOME MORE DESPERATE IN THEIR EFFORTS TO KEEP THEM ON THE PLANTATION.

BECAUSE GETTING AND HOLDING POWER IS PARAMOUNT FOR THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE, THEY WILL DO ANYTHING THEY THINK HELPS - EVEN START A RACE WAR.

THE GOP CAN DEFEAT THEM BY NOMINATING MORE MINORITIES AND BY FORCEFULLY PUSHING AN URBAN AGENDA THAT BENEFITS MINORITIES MORE THAN THE WELFARE STATE EVER HAS - OR EVER CAN.

THIS AGENDA IS SIMPLE:

1 - PUSHING SCHOOL CHOICE AND VOUCHERS - WHICH FAVOR THE CHILDREN OF POOR OVER THE TEACHER'S UNIONS.

2 - PUSHING TAX CUTS FOR LABOR INTENSIVE INDUSTRIES IN URBAN COUNTIES -AN MAKE FEDERAL TAX CUTS DEPENDENT ON STATE AND LOCAL TAX CUT PARTICIPATION.

3 - PUSHING FOR PRIVATIZATION OF ALL FEDERAL, STATE PUBLIC HOUSING.

THESE  TWO EFFORTS CAN SAVE THE NATION FROM A RACE WAR - AND COMPLETE CHAVEZISTATIZATION OF THE USA.

NOTHING ELSE CAN SAVE US - EXCEPT FOR A CONVENTION OF THE STATES.

DZHOKHAR TSARNAEV'S NON-EXISTENT APOLOGY

The jihadist who set off a bomb at the Boston marathon last year has received the death sentence. Before that, he allegedly apologized, but the Boston Herald's explained with the help of several victims how his babble is all phony:

Terrorism survivors limping on prosthetic legs, tethered to service dogs and battling through sobbing fits for one brief chance to express their pain to Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were left cold and confused by his attempt at apologizing.

Even U.S. District Court Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. attacked the young jihadist’s “monstrous self-deception” yesterday, ignoring the last-minute remorse.

Tsarnaev, in his first words to the court, said, “I’m sorry for the lives I’ve taken,” and “I prayed for Allah to bestow his mercy upon the deceased, those affected in the bombings and their families.”

Transit police Sgt. Richard “Dic” Donohue, who bled out and was nearly pronounced dead when a stray bullet pierced a major artery during a shootout with Tsarnaev and his late brother, Tamerlan, said he was “surprised” to hear the native Chechen speak.

“It was hard to tell how genuine and true his words are,” Donohue said. “It’s tough to tell how truly remorseful he is, if at all.”

Bill Richard, speaking in court, said Tsarnaev “chose hate. He chose destruction. He chose death.”

Lynn Julian, who suffered a traumatic brain injury and permanent hearing loss in the twin blasts, called Tsarnaev’s “Oscar-type” speech “shocking.”

“I regret ever having wanted to hear him speak,” Julian said. “A simple, believable apology would have been nice, but there’s nothing simple in what he said ... it seemed insincere.”

They're absolutely right, it wasn't real. The Dallas Morning News has more explaining how his vile mentality after being incarcerated also weighs against him:

The apology that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev offered today before he was sentenced to death for his role in the Boston Marathon bombings almost sounds sincere. But no one should forget the middle-finger salute he offered to a security camera shortly after his arrest for the bombing murder of three and injuries of 264 others.

If he were truly sorry, if he truly had remorse after standing in the crowd and surveying the faces of all the people, including children, he was about to maim with his pressure-cooker bomb, then it certainly wasn’t evident when he was arrested. It certainly wasn’t evident when he sat through day after day of his trial, straight-faced and appearing almost bored with the tedium of the judicial process.

It certainly wasn’t evident when the parade of victims spoke about the horrors they went through and the lives that were robbed from them because of this young man’s actions. So it’s hard for the outside world to feel remorse at the idea that he could face the death penalty for his crimes.

And they shouldn't feel any. Tsarnaev should have his brains blown out with a shotgun at close range for all the savagery he committed. Any so-called "apology" he offers at this point is nothing more than an insult to the intellect, and sounds more like an attempt to dodge punishment than an admittal to guilt. Especially if he won't condemn his upbringing through the Religion of Peace.

SCALIA'S BRILLIANT DISSENT

In a dissent he summarized from the bench, Justice Antonin Scalia said, “We should start calling this law SCOTUScare.” Using the acronym for the Supreme Court, Scalia said his colleagues have twice stepped in to save the law from what Scalia considered worthy challenges. 

“The Court holds that when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act says ‘Exchange established by the State’ it means ‘Exchange established by the State or the Federal Government.’ That is of course quite absurd, and the Court’s 21 pages of explanation make it no less so,” Scalia wrote. 

Scalia added, “Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.’ It is hard to come up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state Exchanges than to use the words ‘established by the State.’ And it is hard to come up with a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose of limiting credits to state Exchanges.”

I would only add:

NO: it is IMPOSSIBLE to come up with a reason to include the words ‘by the State’ other than the purpose of limiting credits to state Exchanges.

If lawmakers meant all exchanges, then they could have left out any and all instances of "by the State".

This ruling is a travesty and it makes a mockery of the rule of law, of language, and of our democracy.

When laws mean whatever the ruling class says they mean, then we are no longer a nation of laws.

IF WE DO NOT TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2016, AND REVERSE OBAMA'S MANY POLICIES, THEN IT IS SIMPLE:

USA RIP.

A BILL THAT WOULD PREVENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST JUDEA/SAMARIA RESIDENTS

Here's a bill proposal we should hope can be passed:

The Ministerial Committee for Legislation will on Sunday consider a bill that would ban discrimination against Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria.

The law, proposed Jewish Home MK Yinon Magal, would add residence to the list of conditions for which discrimination can be prosecuted. Among those conditions are age, gender, marital status, and others.

The law was first proposed in the last Knesset by former Jewish Home MKs Orit Struk an Shuli Muallem. The law was approved by the Committee last time as well, but was held up from legislation by challenges from Yesh Atid.

The law would prevent discrimination in hiring and delivery of services to residents of the region.

Many residents of Judea and Samaria have long complained that stores and service providers have refused to deliver products or supply services, forcing them to use alternative sources that are perhaps not so easy to find.

Getting a law like this drafted would do a lot of good for everyone.

ISIS MINIONS ARE LOCATED CLOSER TO ISRAEL THAN WE MIGHT THINK

A documentary filmmaker warned that ISIS has terrorists nestled in very close vicinity to Israel:

In only four months, the Islamic State (IS) has captured territory larger than the country of Britain, a march unprecedented in modern history, according to journalist and documentary filmmaker Itai Anghel.

And IS fighters are closer to Israel than people think, he said. “I’m talking about the Peninsula of Sinai,” he said. “A large percentage of the Sinai calls itself IS. From the mainland of Egypt, they are afraid to go in.”

Anghel addressed the HonestReporting Mission on Tuesday to discuss how IS formed and how it operates. He learned the lessons firsthand reporting across Iraq and Syria, where he interviewed captured IS fighters as well as Kurdish soldiers, the only group that’s turned back the IS advance to date, among many others.

During one of his forays into Syria last year, news broke that a colleague of his, James Foley, had been captured and beheaded by IS. At the time, Anghel was only a mile away. He later interviewed a captured IS fighter who said he intentionally used dull knives for the beheadings he carried out to increase the pain. Anghel said he was forced to pause in the interview for a few minutes as he thought about the tragedy of his friend Foley.

Truly sadistic. The filmmaker's done the right thing to warn what kind barbarism is lurking right nearby, and sooner or later, IS is going to cause horrifying disaster.

OBAMA ANNOUNCES HOSTAGE-TAKER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

OBAMA'S LATEST EFFORT TO HELP THE ENEMY AND HURT THE USA AND AMERICANS:

BBC: "Obama allows US hostage families to pay ransoms"

The White House has announced changes to how the government handles hostage situations that involve US citizens. President Barack Obama has directed the US government not to threaten the hostages' families with prosecution if they attempt to pay captors' ransom. Mr Obama has drawn criticism for the long-standing policy of prohibiting concessions to militant groups. The shift raises questions about whether it makes US citizens more lucrative targets for hostage-takers.

THIS INCENTIVIZES THE ENEMY AND IT WILL DEFINITELY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AMERICAN HOSTAGES THE ENEMY WILL TAKE.

AND OBAMA MUST KNOW THIS.

HE IS NOT FOR PEACE; OBAMA IS ON THE OTHER SIDE.

I DEMAND THESE CONFEDERATE FLAGS BE REMOVED AT ONCE

OBAMA FINALLY ANNOUNCES HIS ANTI-ISIS STRATEGY: DECLARES THE REGION A "GUN-FREE ZONE"

MORE INCREDIBLY HORRIFIC EXECUTIONS BY ISLAMISTS DURING RAMADAN

GRAPHIC IMAGES HERE.

NO OTHER RELIGION DOES THIS.

THEY HAVE ROUTINELY AND HISTORICALLY CELEBRATED SAVAGERY TO A DEGREE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. BY ANY OTHER GROUP...

It would be nice if leftists abhorred images of Che and of the hammer & sickle and red star as much as they abhor the confederacy's flag...

Lincoln is one of my heroes.

The rebels seceded to save the horror of slavery - and that they got what they deserved.

But the confederate flag is no worse than images of Che and the red star and the hammer & sickle.

Which don't seem to bother socialists or liberals one bit, but which I feel are as bad as the swastika - which, like the hammer & sickle - is a symbol of socialism. Ditto the fascia used by Mussolini and on every single Roosevelt dime; (which is fitting: FDR was a socialist, too - like Hitler and Stalin and Mao, though not nearly as bad a socialist).

The selective outrage of the left against the confederate flag is not novel; selectivity is a primary feature of the left's style; they have no principles they will not selectively violate in order to advance their socialist agenda and the advancement of their machine's control of the economy and its ability to reward its factions and punish its enemies.

Conversely, leftists never seem outraged at this:

Outlawing the desecration of the USA flag would be bad and of course, unconstitutional.

Outlawing the display of certain flags or the burning of certain flags anywhere is a hollow gesture.

If we really want to stop horrors like what happened in Charleston, then what we really need to do is stop the race-baiting - which stokes the flames on both extremes, and focus on ridding the streets of sociopathic psychos.

I blame Obama and Sharpton and Holder and 6 years of race-baiting - from Trayvon to Ferguson to Baltimore - for stoking the flames and making things worse than  they were in 2008.

It is no accident that the NBPP was watching the polls in Philly and committing voter intimidation in behalf of Obama and that Holder dropped the case against them as soon as he was sworn in.

Stoking the flames of racism was a key part of their playbook. And a classic Alinsky strategy.

Things really won't get better until Obama is gone, and then only if he is replaced by a GOP POTUS.

Sadly,  Obama and his comrades will do whatever they can between now and the next election to make the race war worse - as they think it helps them at the polls.

Sigh.

Obama has truly been the worst, most harmful and destructive POTUS of all-time.

Sigh...

LEFTIST REACTION TO CHARLESTON ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE: THEY BLAME THE COLLECTIVE AND NOT THE PERP

The left is all about 3rd party responsibility and the collective, and all about opposing the indiviual.

They blame widespread racism and the confederate flag for the horrific murders in Charleston, and not the perp.

It's how they think and how they do politics.

If you are part of a group which is part of the leftist machine, then you get goodies because you are a victim who deserves special treatment or you are an indulged member of the party elite who deserves special treatment because you exclusively understand what must be done for the common good.

If you are not, then you pay for the goodies. And you get lambasted.

South Carolina has a more diverse array of elected officials than any state in New England and is less segregated than NYC. But that doesn't stop the left from portraying this horrific mass murder as a colllective problem of South Carolina,  the south, whites, and the GOP.

Their policy response consists of attacking the confederate flag, and trying to pass more restrictive gun laws which would only truky apply to disinterested third parties who are in no way connected to the event in South Carolina. And by exacerbating racial divisions. Race-baiting.

All proposing such things can possibly accomplish is coalescing the factions in their machine - and fundraising. As such it is a cynical bit of propaganda - and a harmful one, too: it promotes racial division, a dimunition of rights, and a useless symbolic act.

The members of the church and the citizens of Charleston have responded more appropriately and usefully - by promoting unity and faith.

The perp is a relatively rare bird and not the tip of a white supremacist iceberg; he is a drug-abusing, sociopathic psychotic under medical care that failed him and the community.

The left's response will not improve our nation; it will do the opposite. Unfortunately,  this is par for the course for them.

I pray that in the days ahead, sanity and morality rule, and not collectivism and factionalism.

That will require that most Americans ignore Obama and the mass media - a tough thing to do in a society dominated by mass media and with a mass media dominated by leftists.

UN PREDICTABLY USES MORAL EQUIVALENCE, ACCUSING ISRAEL ALONG WITH HAMAS OF WAR CRIMES

The UN's gone the predictably moral equivalence route, accusing Israel of committing what the Hamas in Gaza committed:

A much-awaited United Nations report into the 2014 Gaza war released Monday found that both Israel and Palestinian militant groups may have committed war crimes during the conflict.

Both Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers quickly rejected the report's findings, which said Palestinian militants targeted civilians in their rocket attacks, while Israeli forces likely used "disproportionate" force in civilian areas of the Gaza Strip — both identified by the U.N. committee as potential war crimes.

While Israel long has had a contentious relationship with the United Nations, the stakes now are much higher as Palestinians have joined the International Criminal Court and are pursuing war crimes charges against Israel. Monday's report could play a key role in the case against Israel.

"The extent of the devastation and human suffering in Gaza was unprecedented and will impact generations to come," said Mary McGowan Davis, the chair of the commission. "There is also ongoing fear in Israel among communities who come under regular threat."

The war started July 8, 2014, after the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank, as well as the subsequent kidnapping and burning alive of a Palestinian teenager in an apparent revenge attack. Israel responded to the teens' kidnapping by arresting hundreds of Hamas members in raids in the West Bank, prompting militant groups in Gaza to step up their rocket attacks.

And the AP Wire's made sure to publish their own moral equivalence too, I see. Exonerating Hamas of any guilt, while implying that Israel was forbidden to arrest participants in a terrorist organization that committed murder. They, just like the UN, owe an apology.

ANTI-ISRAELI ARAB THEATER WANTS EU TO WASTE TAXPAYERS' MONEY TO FUND THEIR PROPAGANDA

After the education ministry announced they'll no longer fund sources that promote anti-Israelist propaganda, an Arabic theater's turning to a tragically reliable movement that's bound to give them all the money they want:

An Arab theater in Haifa plans to appeal to the European Union for funding its productions after Education Minister Naftali Bennett announced that the state would no longer subsidize its activities in protest of a play that he claimed glorifies terrorism, Channel 2 reported on Saturday.

The Al-Midan Theater made headlines in recent weeks after Bennett ordered a halt to funding due to the staging of A Parallel Time, a play based on the life of Walid Daka, an Israeli Arab who is serving a life sentence in prison for the murder of IDF soldier Moshe Tamam.

The artistic community in Israel has been up in arms over Culture Minister Miri Regev’s vow to slash state subsidies to cultural institutions that “delegitimize” the state.

Regev told the Knesset plenum on Monday that anyone who wants to defame Israel will do it without the government’s help or funding.

Regev’s speech came a day after a conference of artists protested her decision to defund Jaffa-based Elmina Theater, for Jewish and Arab teens, after its founder, Norman Issa, in his capacity as an actor with the Haifa Theater, refused to perform in Jordan Valley settlements over the Green Line.

I'd say that theater group is basically adhering to socialism - they want others to give them money instead of proving their ability to earn it on their own. If the US government doesn't usually fund Hollywood, why should other governments do it? I get the vibe that the paper's staff are hostile to the Israeli government's wishes not to fund these anti-Israeli groups, and think bad people are entitled to the public's money. Which would only make them socialists by extension.

It's time to start saving money on showbiz projects that aren't worth anything and use it for far better ideas.

CLEAR CHANNEL ADVERTISING REFUSES TO RUN AN AFDI AD

Pamela Geller's told how a director for Clear Channel advertising refused to run an ad of hers that was meant to counter a most deceptive one published by the ICNA (Hat tip: Jihad Watch). And now that the man she spoke with has made clear he won't cooperate, that's why a protest and lawsuit should be launched. This refusal to take ads from AFDI cannot continue.
