"Bear in mind that President Obama and his team brokered side deals with the Russians (and Iranians, for that matter) that resulted in enormous advantage for them and loss for us — during his entire presidency.
For instance, in 2009 President Obama surreptitiously sent a letter to the Russians, offering to cancel plans to install a missile-defense site in Poland and corresponding radar apparatus in the Czech Republic. These would have provided an additional layer of protection for the United States and its allies from Iranian long-range missiles."
10 of the Craziest and Most Delicious Donuts - ODDEE: "While we're huge fans of donuts (who isn't?), we were shocked to learn that the U.S. government has spent $45,000 on marketing pumpkin donuts as a healthy food choice. In his "Waste of the Week" speech, Senator Dan Coats (R-IN) said that the feds spent more than $290 million in taxpayer dollars over the past ten years on an agricultural grant program for business plan development and agricultural marketing. Citing one of the more egregious cases, Coats said a grant recipient received the money to market pumpkin donuts as healthy, locally produced food.
Other equally bizarre uses of the grant money include processing olives,
"You can’t put it more succinctly. Americans need to understand the true wickedness of a religion many bobble-heads call “peaceful.” To Muslims, without worldwide Sharia law, there can be no peace.
Get out your burkas, ladies. Put away adultery, homosexuality, and public displays of affection, my fellow free thinkers. If you don’t submit to Sharia law, Muslims have a right to kill you."
"On the subject of hacking, we’ve horror stories aplenty about Russian cyber attacks on the US. Again, courtesy of the left (see Josh Earnest’s Obvious Russian Hack Hypocrisy). Incidentally, this is why we say the left is guilty of projection.
Anyhoo, as it turns out, all the talking heads who said there was hacking? Well, according to The Daily Caller, there were a few cyber attacks on Georgia’s systems… Not by Assange’s Binary Bandits hired by Putin, so much, but by Homeland Security. Small detail."
The report implies that deradicalization, either in specialized centers or in prisons, does not work because most Islamic radicals do not want to be deradicalized.
Although France is home to an estimated 8,250 hardcore Islamic radicals, only 17 submitted applications and just nine arrived. Not a single resident has completed the full ten-month curriculum.
By housing Islamists in separate prison wings, they actually had become more violent because they were emboldened by "the group effect," according to Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas.
"Deradicalizing someone does not happen in six months. These people, who have not been given an ideal and who have clung to Islamic State's ideology, are not going to get rid of it just like that. There is no 'Open Sesame.'" — Senator Esther Benbassa.
"The deradicalization program is a total fiasco. Everything must be rethought, everything must be redesigned from scratch." — Senator Philippe Bas, the head of the Senate committee that commissioned the report.
Psychiatrists and other doctors in Chicago and across the country have been caught helping immigrants gain U.S. citizenship by providing fake medical opinions, records show. An estimated 1,000 people a year submit a form to immigration officials in Chicago alone to waive the requirements that someone seeking citizenship must understand English and pass a test in U.S. history and civics. (Snip) The form is susceptible to fraud, though. Immigration officials aren’t supposed to investigate the ailments. They’re instructed only to make sure that the forms are completed correctly and that the information in an applicant’s file is
Comments: Nothing unusual here. Illegal alien gains entry into US by obtaining a fake document (falsified) to become a fake immigrant. Interesting that the cases cited happened on 0bama´s watch, especially since Form N-648 was updated (simplified) in 2011, and Homeland Security hasn´t done anything yet to close this loophole in our immigration policies. The trap for the reviewing immigration officer is that they are NOT a physician who can accurately examine the claim. They have to assume the doctor signing the form is "truthful."

"That would be bulletproof," Napolitano said.
He said the order, if crafted as such, would give the Trump administration "breathing room" during which to create stricter vetting standards in compliance with other allied countries.
"If that's what is in this order, then the president has very shrewdly avoided all of the problems that the four judges who have written opinions against his order have articulated," Napolitano explained."

"If your daughter is uncomfortable with seeing male genitals while undressing in the school locker room, that’s the fault of her ‘intolerant’ parents, said CNN anchor Chris Cuomo Thursday. After President Trump reversed an Obama order Wednesday, that forced schools to allow transgender students to use whatever bathroom and locker room they wished, the media went nuts, decrying the reversal as “cruel” discrimination. New Day anchor Chris Cuomo went on a Twitter tirade Thursday, arguing with conservatives over the bathroom order, even blaming parents for being “intolerant” because they want their daughters to change in female-only locker rooms at school."

AirTalk® | ‘Juice-jacking:’ how hackers steal your private data from public charging stations | 89.3 KPCC: "Before fighting everyone in the room to plug your smartphone into the communal charger: please don’t. Or at least, beware. Coffee shops, airports and almost every other kind of public meeting space have become regular safe havens whenever we’re desperate for that extra juice. But with the ubiquity of USB ports built into today’s phone chargers, this flow of “juice” isn’t just power anymore - it’s data. Important data. All it takes is one easily disguised charging kiosk, or even a power strip, for hackers to hijack your charge, and once you’re juice-jacked, there’s little that can be done to stop it; from installing malware onto your device, to sucking out personal messages, photos and information - all for the simple cost of offering sweet-relief and a fully-powered phone. But how...? Read on! ...Brian Markus, CEO of Aries Security; he co-invented the first “juice-jacking” demonstration at international hacking conference DEF CON in 2011
"A year ago, a new phrase was coined to describe much of the hypocritical attitudes and actions taking place in America. The phrase is ‘selective allowable discrimination’, defined as the practice of allowing discrimination of a selective group while banning discrimination of opposite groups.
For the past fifty years, any semblance of Christianity is discriminated against if it involves any government person or agency. Courts have said that you can’t have schools involved in reading the Bible or praying because someone was or could be offended."

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK Independence Party, told PJM that there is “nothing to be lost” with President Trump meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that Trump has to show he’s “not going to be a pushover.”
“Well, he has to show he wants to have a better relationship with Russia. He believes we have shared common interests in dealing with Islamic terrorism and issues like that but he’s not going to be a pushover — that’s what you’ve got to show,” Farage said during an interview Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside Washington.
“He’s going to say, ‘Look, you’ve behaved badly but we want to form a grown-up relationship with you.’ One thing is for certain, there’s nothing to be lost with him meeting Putin. Nothing at all,” he added.
Farage rejected the notion that the U.S. cannot make a good deal with Russia.
“They are small-minded, very silly people who don’t understand there is a thing in life called human chemistry. Trump himself said 'I may not get along with him,' but the very fact he is prepared to meet is grown-up policy. The great Winston Churchill said jaw-jaw is better than war-war and I’m with that,” he said..."
7 Things You Need To Know About The Healthcare Town Hall Protesters | Daily Wire "Congress is currently in recess, so the left-wing is taking advantage by taking over town halls and local meetings with Republican members of Congress in attempts to pressure them into opposing President Donald Trump, especially on repealing Obamacare. Trump lashed out at these protests:
Where are these protests stemming from and what are the details of their actions? Here are seven things you need to know about them.
1. The roots of these protests can be traced to a George Soros-funded organization called Indivisible Guide.In his February 13 LevinTV episode, Mark Levin highlighted the organization's video that essentially provides a guide on how to cause chaos at town halls as a means of opposing Trump:
Levin also pointed to a Daily Signalpiece that exposed how three of the main people involved with Indivisible Guide have ties to Soros:
Ezra Levin, a former staffer for Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, and his wife, Leah Greenberg, are the president and vice president of the Indivisible Guide’s board, respectively.
Levin is also associate director of the Corporation for Enterprise Development, an anti-poverty nonprofit. Melissa Bradley, who sits on that group’s board, previously worked for Green for All, a group founded by liberal commentator and former Obama administration official Van Jones. She was appointed as a Soros Justice Fellow through the Open Society Foundations, which Soros founded.
Greenberg previously worked for Humanity United, which is funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute.
The secretary of Indivisible Guide, Angel Padilla, works for the National Immigration Law Center, which is funded by Soros through his Open Society Foundations. And treasurer Matt Traidi is the research team director for the Service Employees International Union, a major donor to and endorser of Democrat politicians, Capital Research Center notes.
The Daily Signal also noted that the Soros-connected group has gloated about disrupting "town halls held by Republican lawmakers in Utah, California, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, and Nebraska."
"What you have here are left-wing members of, or former members of Congress and their staffs, and leftists who worked for George Soros, who still work for George Soros, who are instigating this, who are promoting this or motivating this," Levin said. "That's not a grassroots effort."
2. Barack Obama is also connected to these protests..." Read on!
