Joe Biden again taking credit for things imagined in his complex mind no one will ever be able to figure out. If what Biden says here is correct why did the caliphate expand throughout Syria into Iraq as well as their offshoot Khorsan that is/was active in Afghanistan and Iran!? ISIS has popped up all over the middle east what were this 68 country coalition doing from 2012 to Jan 20th 2017 under the obama/Biden regime?
Why did it take Donald Trump becoming President for the caliphate to take heavy losses and lose control of all the territories they seized when Biden was VP? This is delusional nonsense, since we know obama was an appeaser, who did everything in his power to restrict the military's ability to truly bring the fight to ISIS.
Trump is already doing what this fool is suggesting, so we don't need him. And Joe, stop lying it's not going to get you into the White House.
Pres Trump broke a tradition of informing all senior members of Congress about the raid to capture/ kill ISIS leader al-Baghdadi, where he rightfully did not inform senior democrat leaders; ie Pelosi, Schumer, Warner etc. His reason is solid, DC leaks like a sieve especially when democrats get hold of highly sensitive intel. The Pres left the democrats out because he didn't want to get soldiers killed, knowing the democrats would have compromised the mission for cheap political points against him.
Well, considering the fact that some senior Democrats were supportive of ISIS, perhaps Trump didn’t want Al-Baghdadi to be notified of the U.S raid. The Democrats will protect Al-Baghdadi to prevent Trump winning in 2020. Maybe CNN should investigate how ISIS got US-made weapons? https://t.co/bpj3gZcVwg
President Trump: Al-Baghdadi died like a dog and like a coward.
Dogs are loved, but not by Islamic Extremists. The worst thing you can call a desert Arab terrorist is: Dog or coward. Trump knows that. That’s why he called him both words. His followers will be going crazy now. pic.twitter.com/2dpBtG1uWl
Could you imagine the headlines we would be seeing now if the mission went bad, if troops were killed or Baghdadi got away!? Leftists are going apeshit as it is because of the language he used in the address, mocking and calling the fmr ISIS leader a "coward", "whimpering, crying, and screaming all the way" who "died like a dog". Apparently they think a certain level of decorum should be used for someone who had journalists beheaded, ran MASS executions of men and boys, conducted countless executions of people by burning them alive, wrapping them in explosive cord, drowning them, leaving prisoners bound and setting up kill houses to train Cubs (CHILDREN) of the Caliphate, while vowing to create a global caliphate that would see you and yours enslaved or dead! Did we mention the human trafficking, raping of women and YOUNG girls, and slavery? There was that too they've seem to have quickly forgotten while they rage over Trump's mean words!
Trump was right to keep the democrats in the dark on this mission they would have most likely compromised it getting American soldiers killed. Also there is NO LAW stating POTUS has to keep the Legislative Branch in the loop on major military operations. FDR didn't do it with the Doolittle Raid on Japan, and most definitely didn't do it when "we" dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Said it before, say it again: The biggest existential threat to the USA is the Left/ Democrat Party, NOT Iran, China, Russia, N Korea, al Qaeda or the remnants of ISIS. These people are not your friends, they want you enslaved to their radical ideology in the same way islamic jihadists do.
Twitterverse was lit with speculation from silly to serious including this tweet from WaPo columnist Josh Rogin
This seems to relate to the raid in northern Idlib, Syria where U.S. led coalition forces were pursuing a high value terrorist target. No confirmation yet, some chatter it could be Baghdadi. https://t.co/I8aCl3oG5W
Newsweek issued story Trump Approves Special Ops Raid Targeting ISIS Leader Baghdadi and Military Says He's Dead where they stated "the Defense Department told the White House they have 'high confidence' that the high-value target killed was Baghdadi, but further verification is pending." Key word there PENDING, but that didn't stop countless people (who get upset when unverified info is shoveled out) to report the head of ISIS was dead!
It is now confirmed, through biometric testing, the head of ISIS is dead after detonating a suicide vest as US Special Forces moved in during a 2 hour raid in Idlib, Syria!!
Jennifer Griffin reports: "ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi dead, killed in US raid in Idlib, according to senior US military source. Baghdadi’s identity has been confirmed. “We long suspected Baghdadi was hiding in Idlib,” US source said.
I am told 50-70 American military service members involved in the raid- pulled from US Army Delta Force and Rangers. About 6 helicopters involved in raid. “It was a partnered mission,” US official source tells me. Baghdadi was killed when he detonated suicide vest.
Biometrics (facial recognition) immediately identified Baghdadi- in suicide bombing head removed intact. DNA also used - typically takes a day for DNA results. US forces launched from Erbil, Iraq. There had been reports of sightings of Baghdadi in Idlib for some time,US official."
To all the Never Trumpers and doubters about Pres Trump's foreign policy and handling of the middle east...
SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP
Baghdadi was “screaming, crying, whimpering”. “We knew he had a tunnel,” President Trump says. “Think of James Foley. Think of Kayla Mueller, the things they did to her.” “Orange suits... beheadings... he died a coward,” President Trump says of Baghdadi’s death during US raid.
Progressives (DC as a whole, media &pundits) are up in arms over Pres Trump's directive to pull US troops out of northern Syria that has opened the door for Turkey to launch punishing attacks against the PKK Kurds. Those who have condemned past Presidents over never-ending wars apparently want the US involved in a turf war that does not serve American taxpayer interests.
The point of this post is not to debate geopolitics or make a case for or against what's going on in the middle east. You are being lied to by people who want to get this country into another war. They claim Trump has abandoned our allies, Syrian PKK Kurds, but what you don't understand is theses Kurds are not the saints the Progressives are making them out to be.
Sen Rand Paul gave an excellent short explanation as to who the players are in this Syrian conflict, you would be wise using in debate and sharing out...
Jason Buttrill is a retired Marine and intel analyst who has served in the middle east gives a more in-depth, first person account of the Kurds, where you will see you are being played by the fools on tv, and in DC...
What was going on between the US and these groups is "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" when it comes to dealing with ISIS, but these Syrian Kurds, PKK aka Kurdish Workers Party, are marxist/ socialists some will argue communists, who were designated a terrorist organization (not transnational) in 1997 over their action against Turkey!
The Iraqi Kurds are Christians, freedom fighters and allies of America and Turkey!
Progressives who want more war do not make this distinction, leaving the uninformed to believe Pres Trump cut our allies loose, leaving them for dead. It's not true and every single bobblehead on tv, including Fox News, ranting about the "Kurds" being wiped out by Turkey is deceiving the American people by not having experts like Butrill on air to spell things out. This is why you have to do your homework on any issue, do not listen to the people who are looking to start a fight for ulterior motive$.
As painful as it is Pres Trump is doing what he said he would do, what voters wanted which is an end to these senseless wars that do nothing for America's interests. If the world body wants us to be the police then they better start paying up.
Those armchair generals calling for US action in Syria, YOU DO IT. This is not our fight, there is no reason for American blood to be shed for someone else's problem. If you feel that strongly that the US needs to be involved in a regional war pick up a weapon and do it yourselves.
Bernie Sanders pandering for votes at the Iowa State Fair said "the major national security issue we face" is not from al Qaeda or ISIS but climate change!
The crowd of course cheered in agreement buying into the biggest hoax ever pushed on mankind.
The next time you encounter climate change activist ask them what temperature the Earth should be for that day where you are? Ask them how much rainfall should there be on that same day in any given location too! Hell ask them to explain in detail the causes of climate change to cause the last ice-age and the melting of said snow, ice and glaciers over 10K years ago! You can bet the last dollar to your name they won't have an answer which means EVERYTHING these modern-day flat-Earthers are preaching is total bullshit. Taxing, regulating and charging fees out the wazoo is not going to fix the climate that is doing what it's supposed to do in the first place.
Sanders knows it's all a scam but he doesn't care, he wants power and control and will say whatever he has to to get it. Meanwhile actual real threats to the world exist via al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, drug cartels and while we're at it the DEMOCRAT PARTY!!
ISIS at its height during the obama admin put out countless propaganda videos promising to raise hell around the world. Mass migration/ illegal immigration of people from the middle east into Europe and other parts of the world was a result of people escaping the terrorists and war they created. ISIS vowed they would send fighters into large groups of migrants to infiltrate the West and carryout attacks as we've seen over the years.
In the US we have had several ISIS inspired attacks from San Bernardino to New York, but we've yet to have actual ISIS fighters from the middle east come to our soil and kill Americans. Well ISIS is Coming to America thanks to the open border DC refuses to secure. Breitbart and the Daily Wire both have report about ISIS fighters coming through Central America and Mexico headed our way. The four monsters were picked up, but how many were coming through that these 4 got caught!? No one knows and it's the same question people ask about illegals in general; for every one caught it's estimated 4 illegals get through.
ISIS is a lot of things but they aren't stupid, and it's surprising we haven't been hit yet by fighters who have traveled across the border by now. Aside from the humanitarian crisis that must be addressed we have a clear national security crisis, this site has stressed many times over the years.
Securing the border is not about racism, keeping hispanics etc out, it's about keeping national security threats, from gangs to the cartels running drugs and guns to terrorists like ISIS, from coming here. It's not just ISIS either, Hezbollah and Hamas have been active across the border for years. Who do you think the cartels learned how to tunnel under the border and mutilate people from!?
While the Left finally acknowledges there is a crisis on the border, because a man and his baby daughter drowned to justify their calls for relaxed border policy, keep in mind there are very bad people trying to get here to do very bad things. The Left is playing games with out security and lives for political points while cold-blooded killers are on their way, just like they promised!
The new FBI Director Christopher Wray told members of the House Judiciary Committee that the Bureau has 1,000 active ISIS investigations in all 50 states. On top of that he points out a number of nations are seeking to acquire our technology and military secrets to enrich themselves while bringing the US down.
Maybe the FBI's hands wouldn't be so full with so much to do if resources and personnel weren't being wasted on a meaningless, politically driven witch hunt against the duly elected President of the United States!?
Yes, we know there are a lot of honorable agents who work hard to keep us safe. But there are just as many who are political activists using their position of power to undermine POTUS. I'm sure those working hard to protect us would welcome the help from said political activists vs the silent coup they're engaged in!
Whats the difference between the Trump admin vs obama's? Under Trump, ISIS is finally getting decimated so much so the death cult wants to assassinate the Presidents 11 year old son, Barron! Intercepted "chatter" revealed ISIS groups have been sharing information/ posting the name and location of Barron's school along with images of him.
"The initial message, sent on Nov. 21 by an ISIS supporter on Telegram, "called for the assassination of Barron Trump, and shared the name of the school that Barron attends along with a Google map pinpointing its location," according to MEMRI, which shares images of this messages with reporters.
"Using the hashtag ‘handle the son of the mule of America,' the supporter, who uses the name "Dak Al-Munafiqeen,' Arabic for ‘striking the hypocrites,' wrote: ‘Barron Trump goes to this school in Washington,'" according to MEMRI." - FreeBeacon
The more territory and losses these monsters suffer the more desperate they will become making them even more dangerous, increasing their appeal and influence on wannabe self-radicalizing followers. This threat should not be underestimated, security will no doubt be increased but a threat against POTUS' son is a threat on all Americans. With the holiday season upon us maybe they won't go after the school, maybe they'll target a venue where the First Family is attending or a holiday celebration with countless Americans attending.
Let's not forget they have promised to attack the Vatican over the years, even making a recent threat with Christmas coming.
An attack of some sort should not be questioned for all we know this call to assassinate the Trump maybe code language for some other type of attack. All they need is a truck and someone willing to drive it!
The spokesman for ISIS reportedly released audio today calling for fighters to attack America and other civilized western nations during Ramadan. The body count apparently isn't high enough for these monsters where we can expect more London and Paris style attacks. Just yesterday a molotov cocktail was thrown into a restaurant in Paris injuring 12.
One has to wonder why we haven't seen any of these attacks on US soil, but now that there is an apparent call to attack that question may unfortunately be answered. That said Americans need to heed the warning. Go about your business, enjoy graduations and upcoming holidays BUT be alert. It would be wise to avoid gun free zones, if you live in a free state that is not suppressing Second Amendment rights, start carrying a weapon. When you enter buildings take note of emergency exits and anything that can be used for cover or an improvised weapon. People have to learn to have a tactical mindset in these dangerous times.
Like Brevard County, FL Sheriff Wayne Ivey put it, you are the "first line of defense".
Islamic State calls for attacks in West, Russia, Middle East, Asia during Ramadan Reuters
An audio message purporting to come from the spokesman of Islamic State called on followers to launch attacks in the United States, Europe, Russia, Australia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and the Philippines during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which began in late May.
...
"O lions of Mosul, Raqqa, and Tal Afar, God bless those pure arms and bright faces, charge against the rejectionists and the apostates and fight them with the strength of one man," said al-Muhajer. Rejectionist is a derogatory term used to refer to Shi'ite Muslims.
"To the brethren of faith and belief in Europe, America, Russia, Australia, and others. Your brothers in your land have done well so take them as role models and do as they have done."
Well at last Kathy Griffin held a presser today with, Gloria Allred's offspring, Lisa Bloom over how she is the victim after her ISIS beheading style Trump photo shoot. Yes America that's right the wrongdoer, the person who crossed the line in all of this is apparently the victim. She is so distraught from this PREMEDITATED PR stunt (more on that in a second) she said, “I don’t think I will have a career after this. I’m going to be honest, he [Trump] broke me.”
Griffin is even promising to attack Trump more, which means more hell coming her way. Also take note all the shots she takes at white people, what's that all about?
Boo hoo Kathy, ya know what? We're GLAD you won't have a career after this and have been broken. That said, please spare the crocodile tears seeing that you planned all of this out you lying fraud!
First off, Kathy said during the photo shoot she would get hell for this, that she and the photographer wouldn't survive it, going as far as joking that they would have to run off to Mexico.
Second and more importantly, Dec 9th, 2016 Kathy told Vulture.com (who the F is that?)
"It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”
Uh oh! Sucks to be her doesn't it?! Even worse, this nasty, fugly, F- rated comedienne, made it clear she was going to go after a 10-year-old kid (now 11), yet LIED to the media today it had nothing to do with Barron. GO TO HELL!
Kathy is an EVIL DEMON who deserves the beat down she's getting. The more she runs her mouth the harder the beat down! NO ONE CARES if she never works again. Let's be honest had it been someone else targeting obama, clinton or one of the progressives Gods, Griffin would be on a relentless attack demanding said individual never works again. So shove it, the American people have had it with people like her.
The US just dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb to destroy ISIS fighters and a series of tunnels and caves they have been using in Afghanistan. The GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB (aka "Mother of All Bombs")) is deployed from a C-130, guided by GPS, weighs 21,000lbs and has a 1 mile blast radius. The use of this weapon was not only to send a clear message to ISIS, but IMO also to the Crazy Fat Kid in North Korea that obama's pacifist foreign/ military policy is over.
America's enemies better check themselves and understand the nation that has been stepped on, bullied and laughed at is no more.
This is by far one of the most absurd things to be suggested by anyone in the crap media. To compare the actions and intentions of cold blooded killers in a death cult to a random act of nature is beyond insulting. ISIS wants a global caliphate where everyone submits to islam and sharia law.. does lightning want a caliphate of it's own Alisyn? Is lightning plotting and planning strikes all over the world while they kill every single day? ISIS had been clear they will kill anyone who is not in lockstep with their belief system and will kill as many westerners and Americans as possible. If they could nuke us tomorrow they would do it.
Hopefully by now people can see why Alisyn Camerota was cut loose by Fox News! Props to Rep Sean Duffy for keeping it civil vs opening up both barrels on her for being so insensitive... and CNN wonders why they are so hated by just about everyone!!
Donald Trump NEVER SAID HE WOULD BAN ALL MUSLIMS yet George Takei claims he will and thinks there will be internment camps! That won't happen because DEMOCRATS ARE NOT in the White House to do that AGAIN! He seems to forget BOTH times citizens, like his family, were rounded up was under progressive DEMOCRAT presidents; Woodrow Wilson & FDR!
Trump was abundantly clear, with many elected leaders in agreement, that muslims from certain parts of the world, where terrorism is rampant, should be prohibited from entry into the US. He said something needs to be done 'until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on!'
Does Takei know about a 2014 poll conducted where 13% of Syrian refugees approve of ISIS and the jihad they're waging against the west? Refugees aka muslims coming from very dangerous parts of the world that Trump and many sane leaders would like to stop from coming into the US! Why is it a crime to want to protect the homeland?
As I argued the last time Takei went on a rant, Trump is not going to have interment camps set up in the US. If he wants some system set up to say “here are the immigrants that arrived since Y from X”, why is that a crime? It’s called the immigration law that works but is not being enforced… by progressives in power. We have every right to know who is in this country from foreign lands and where they are! Does this Hollywood TWIT have any idea how many people have come here on a visa and have just disappeared!? Of course he doesn’t. But if one of them ends up blowing up or shooting a bunch of citizens Takei and his ilk will whine and complain afterwards "why no one did anything about it"! BANK ON IT! And where was George in 1980 when Pres Carter banned travel from Iran?
While his intentions are good, this man has no clue that US law gives the President of the United States the power and authority to stop anyone from entering the US under 8 US Code § 1182 – Inadmissible aliens as Pres Carter did!
“…(f) Suspension of Entry or Imposition of Restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.”
For those of you who don't know, Takei is gay, with that in mind what do you think the muslims (Sharia on homosexuality) he is standing up for (incl the bad ones) would like to see done to him!? Maybe he needs to see some videos of how homosexuals are treated in muslim countries to get the hint?! The fact that he does not know this or acknowledges it just goes to show how naive and/ or ill-informed liberals like him are. George, if given the opportunity the muslims you want help would kill you!
Seriously, there is something wrong with George Takei, the PTSD he is suffering from as a result of his childhood experiences during WW2 have clouded his mind of logic and reason. He truly epitomizes everything that is wrong with Hollywood elitists and another reason why Trump won!
Obama had his hour of self-praise about all the wonderful things he did for the US, touting his "legacy". By the way all the other Presidents gave a farewell speech from the Oval Office, yet this guy has to do it in an arena?! You know why? Because he's an attention junkie, he loves having crowds cheer for him. Sorry to bust your bubble but he's not going away after the 20th.
You heard the fantasy now for the truth and why a few like myself do not believe any of the talk of economic recovery, even now with Trump coming in.
Hannity just touches on a few economic indicators, there are far more and the numbers are quite scary. Check out the USDebtClock and you'll see how screwed we really are. Even within that, all the games being played by the banks isn't even being covered or the Fed printing money at will. FTR I've be warning about the this stealth depression we're in regardless of who won Nov 8th. Trump, Hillary, Cruz, Sanders the final economic bubble to burst is going to come no matter what or who is in office.
As for obamacare and foreign policy, as Hannity outlines, they are no better.
Healthcare costs and access to doctors took a major hit under Darth Hussein's™ signature piece of legislation. It was nothing but a pack of lies for power, control and wealth redistribution.
Thanks to obama treating ISIS like the JV team they grew unchallenged in the middle east like a cancer destroying everything in their path. They've spread their influence globally and now because of the carnage they've created an uncontrollable migration of middle eastern people to the west that ISIS fighters have infiltrated where they attack at will.
Russia's power and influence had grown thanks to lil barry where Putin's intentions can clearly be seen to control the flow of oil to Europe, befriend enemies of the US.
Iran regardless of the nuclear agreement became $150b richer and continues their nuclear weapons program.
China continues to manipulate currencies, is building up their military for war, launches countless cyber attacks at the US and obama did nothing.
The list of "accomplishments" by this failed president can go on and on. Obama is by far the worst president in US history. PEOTUS has his hands full for sure and you can bet obama is leaving plenty of surprises / headaches as he trashes everything on the way.
"The ability of ISIL to not just mass inside of Syria, but then to initiate major land offensives that took Mosul, for example, that was not on my intelligence radar screen"
SMH.... Not sure what game the failed president is playing here, maybe trying to create fake news to secure his "legacy" (whatever the hell that is). Intelligence agencies knew what the score was with ISIS too. Maybe it was a surprise because ISIS exceeded all of obama's expectations, seeing that he aided and abetted their rise. The obama/ Clinton foreign policy created ISIS, not to mention the little fact they armed them! He trivialized them in front of cameras calling them the JV team but surely he knew arming them would make them the varsity team! I mean what do people think Chris Stevens was doing in Libya? Was it just a coincidence he had a meeting with the Turkish General Consul who has/ had ties to "rebels" in Syria too? Was Benghazi hero Glen Doherty making shit up when he told ABC News "they" [CIA] were in Libya to track weapons? What weapons from whom? Obama of course via Stevens who was then sending said arms used to unseat Qaddafi to Syrian "rebels". As we now know all the US rebels armed in Libya and Syria are ISIS fighters!
I just can't.... they way obama lies anymore to CYA is just pathetic. There is tons of material on this site about it. Use the search below and have at it....
BTW he calls ISIS, ISIL because the "L" stands for Levant which includes Israel. Obama knows this, so whether he is saying it as a warning or to suggest he doesn't believe in the Jewish state are still in the air. We'll probably know better when this dolt is out of office and running his mouth freely as a private citizen on our dime.
Heh, while that may be true, in what is supposedly obama's final foreign policy speech, he seems to forget all the attacks we've had since 9/11, most under his watch!
It's completely disingenuous to take this victory lap and frankly it's disrespectful to those who have fallen victim to domestic terrorism by enemies acting out/ inspired by "foreign terrorist organization's". So because the body count wasn't in the hundreds or thousands by the hands of card carrying [myth] ISIS fighters they don't count as attacks by foreign organizations on the homeland!? Domestic terrorists attacking US citizens in the name of al Qaeda or ISIS IMO is an act of terrorism by a foreign terrorist organization whether this clown wants to admit it or not. There should be no difference between those here attacking us vs those who want to come here to attack us. They are all driven by the same ideology of submission to a radical religion, seeking world dominance.
Here are just a few of the many terrorist attacks in the US his majesty ignored in this speech, under his watch:
Little Rock Military Recruiting Ctr Shooting 1 dead
Fort Hood Mass Shooting 13 dead
Boston Marathon Bombing 3 dead
Vaughn Foods in Oklahoma 1 dead (beheaded)
Chattanooga Military Recruitment Ctr Shooting 4 dead
San Bernardino Attack 14 dead
Orlando Nightclub Shooting 49 dead
and just last week, Ohio State University 10 wounded
Jan 20th 2017 cannot come soon enough, but IMO this SOB is not going off into the sunset. He and his family are setting up camp in DC and he will be running his mouth freely. Also there is nothing saying a former POTUS cannot be UN Secretary General!
!This is a very disturbing news that has remained below the radar, which as noted broke after the election. Clearly the majority of Americans do not know about this so please share it out!
You would think after all the terrorist attacks including, the one that just happened at OSU by the hands of a refugee, the govt would learn its lesson. How many more backroom deals are we going to have to learn about over the next 47 days that have compromised national security? Obama has plenty of time to do an enormous amount of damage to the US on his way out.
Listen to it again, 2500 refugees, MOSTLY MALE, who have been "migrating" by boat to Australia (who rejected them) are set to be brought to the US! Refugees who come from terrorism hotspots, where there are no files, databases or records of any kind to cross-reference in a vetting process. Refugees whom ISIS has been very clear will infiltrate to gain access to the west. Refugees who 13% said in a 2014 poll they approved of ISIS, are coming to the US!
2500 x 14% = 350... 350 potential ISIS supporters (fighters) could very well be set loose on the streets of America.
Hillary Clinton in the last leg of her campaign, speaking in Sanford, Florida, is making promises she won't be able to keep in protecting America from terrorists and fighting gun violence.
The woman who helped spark the Arab Spring, setting the middle east on fire, who has armed our enemies says she will defeat ISIS and protect America. While most uninformed Americans would welcome this rhetoric, those of us with a clue who understand ISIS sit back with a smile and ask how? Exactly how will she defeat an idea (ideas are the base of the koran that drives islamic terrorists)? To quote V from V for Vendetta:
"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea,.. and ideas are bulletproof."
... and there is the opening from the movie:
"..We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love..."
So do tell us Hillary how will you kill an idea? You can't and to promise you will is deceitful. The best she, or Trump for that matter, can do is decimate a large percentage of ISIS fighters, "pound Raqqa into a parking lot". But these radicals will never go away, they've been "with us" since at least the 7th c.
The best either candidate can do is kill the leadership to show Al-Baghdadi is not the caliph. They will have to fight and defeat his fighters with overwhelming firepower (which means unleashing 100% of the US military might) at their "holy site" for Armageddon in Dabiq. Destroy what these radicals believe from that book and the fighters will lose the will to fight when the see the "biblical times" they were told is coming, is just a fantasy.
Now as for Hillary's rants on combating gun violence, invoking a street thug as your inspiration who died because he picked a fight with the wrong person is not the way to go. Furthermore, it is shameful to cite other tragedies where we have learned the system, she wants to empower with common sense gun control, failed to do its job or could not have stopped those monsters from killing.
No doubt her solution for gun violence will be to punish law abiding gun owners. That of course will do nothing but leave Americans defenseless against the monsters who walk the streets of America who laugh at all the gun control laws passed. The killing fields of Chicago are proof progressive "common sense" gun control laws do not work. States with strict gun control laws are plagued with high rates of crime committed with weapons. Clinton is a fan of the UK and Australia gun bans/ confiscations but she knows those types of laws will never pass here.
No, Hillary Clinton has watched obama and seen what does and doesn't work. She will surely pick up where he left off pushing for regulations that do not need Congressional approval. She will push for multiple gun regulations that will require gun owners to carry unaffordable liability insurance, acquire licenses, pay high taxes and fees, etc etc. She is probably keeping an eye on California, whose Governor just signed some of the most draconian gun bills into law over the summer. Hillary is probably a huge fan of CA's new laws requiring a license to buy ammunition, ban on magazines, registering of "assault weapons" etc. Don't be surprised, if elected, she pushes for those bills on national level, because what goes in CA eventually goes for the nation! Make no mistake she is going to do far more to destroy our Second Amendment rights than obama ever dreamed. IF she is backed by a majority in the House and Senate you can kiss your 2A rights good bye!
You have 6 days to stop this woman from holding the highest office in the land. When it comes to national security and protecting 2A, consider this your final warning America.
The US (aiding rebels) and Russia (aiding the Assad regime) are engaged in a proxy war in Syria. For those still doubting the Russians are preparing for war with the West add this clip to the list of warnings being ignored by the media and both the Trump and Clinton campaigns.
The Russian Ministry of Defense is warning that any aircraft or missiles fired on Syrian military/ govt positions will be taken out by Russian ground to air defense systems (S-400 and S-300 air defense systems operated by Russian forces and Syrian forces operating S-200 and BUK). With Russians on the ground aiding the Syrian govt they will do whatever they have to to protect their people, even if that means firing on American aircraft.
“Therefore, any missile or air strikes on the territory controlled by the Syrian government will create a clear threat to Russian servicemen.”
Rumor-mill in DC says obama is planning to take a larger action in Syria for "humanitarian reasons", just as Soros is calling for action over 'heinous crimes against humanity'. This "rumor" caused Sen Mike Lee to post on his Facebook page that Congress is the only body who can declare war...
The admin had it's chance to deal with ISIS and failed. It also failed to gather support from other nations to deal with ISIS. Committing US forces in the middle of the Syrian civil war honestly isn't our problem let alone business. It's a humanitarian crisis so let the UN deal with it WITHOUT the meddling US involved for once!
Congress needs to get their act together to put obama in his place once and for all before he gets us into an actual war with Russia that we're not prepared for! While Americans are focused on who is the better choice between the 2 worst candidates running for POTUS and Kim Kardashian getting robbed, 40 Million Russians are participating in a civil defense drill right now!
This is a perfect example as to why Josh Earnest, like all regime press secretaries, is labeled Minister of Propaganda (or Propaganda Minister). This is not a game, nor a battle of story telling. ISIS and other islamic radicals are at war with the West (US, Europe etc) because we do not pray 5 times a day, live in hut, oppress women, believe killing is a way to heaven etc. It goes beyond narrative, because they kill people over their narrative. If you want to talk about a difference in political views, ie democrat vs republican, maybe this "narrative battle" theory applies. disEarnest trivializing it though, as this regime has calling ISIS JV, is dangerous as it shows how this administration to this day refuses to see the true threat ISIS and radical islamic extremists pose on the civilized world.
