Bill Ayers Tells Iranian Newspaper: The United States Is A Terrorist Nation
............................................................................................................................................................................

One of President Barack Obama’s friends from his days as a community organizer and local politician gave Iran’s government-controlled news service an interview that appeared on Saturday throughout the Middle East. Former American radical and Weather Underground terrorist, Professor William Ayers, told Iran’s Fars News Agency in an interview on Saturday that the U.S. is a terrorist nation and the most serious threat to world peace.

Ayers, who is now retired from his professorship at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is best known as a radical leftist who during the turbulent 1970's was involved in perpetrating terrorist bombings and other anti-American activities by his own admission. During young Barack Obama’s early days of campaigning, many believed he and Ayers and Ayers’ equally radical wife, Bernadette Dorn, also a Weather Underground terrorist, were close friends and that Ayers, along with Marxist author Saul Alinsky, had a huge influence in Obama’s political development.

“While Obama denies his close relationship with Ayers, according to a number of sources including the founder of Times Books — publisher of President Barack Obama’s autobiography Dreams From My Father — Thomas Lipscomb had dropped a huge bomb on the Obama White House. Now a senior fellow at the well-regarded Annenberg Center, Lipscomb contends that Obama’s story was actually ghostwritten by former terrorist and cop-killer William Ayers. However, Obama’s sycophants within most news outlets ignored the entire story,” according to Accuracy in Media.

Bill Ayers told the Iranian reporter, Kourosh Ziabari, that by most standards “the [United States] is indeed a terrorist nation.” He also told the reporter that American people are “the greatest purveyors of violence on earth over the past half century, and the foremost threat to world peace today.” “U.S. imperialism is in decisive decline today as an economic and political power even as it is expanding as a ferocious and aggressive military power. This combination—decline and ascent—makes this a particularly unstable, dangerous, and urgent moment on the clock of the universe,” he cackled.

“I think the US should immediately close all military bases and installations abroad, withdraw all troops on foreign soil including all mercenary fighters, end all military aid to Israel, and unilaterally decommission its nuclear arsenal,” Bill Ayers advised. Ayers also told the Iranian newsman that the “invasion and occupation was disastrous for the people of Afghanistan, and catastrophic for the people of the world, including the people of the U.S. The so-called War on Terror is a myth, but it’s a fairy-tale with murderous consequences, and the perpetrator is the U.S. government.”

To make his point, during the interview Ayers begins to argue semantics with regard to the word terrorism. He describes terrorism as “a mode of governing, or of opposing a government, by intimidation.” This definition has the virtue of consistency and fairness; it focuses on the use of coercive violence, whether committed by a religious cult, a political sect, a group of zealots, or the state itself. And by that definition the U.S. is indeed a terrorist nation; it’s also the greatest purveyor of violence on earth over the past half century, and the foremost threat to world peace today.”

“In all my efforts I work for more peace and more participatory democracy, more transparency and sustainability, more joy and more justice in large and small matters. I work toward a state of affairs in which the US might become a nation among nations—not the uber-nation that the ruling and political classes dream of and fight for,” Ayers told the Fars News Agency’s reporter.

What Will Happen First, Impeachment Or A Military Coup?
.................................................................................
christianpatriots.org ^ | 12-11-14 | Dave Hodges


Never before in American history have we had a president, all at the same time, use the IRS to harass his enemies, spy on and harass the media, be complicit in the political assassination of an ambassador, allow his Attorney General to run guns to the drug cartel in Mexico (i.e. Fast and Furious), totally open our borders to a completely form of unrestrained illegal immigration, provide illegal immigrants with free healthcare under the Affordable Care Act, provide the same population with access to social security benefits and other social services paid for without tax dollars.

This President has done much to weaken our country and make it vulnerable to invasion (i.e. firing over 260 command military officers including our entire nuclear weapons command structure).
The following information is a very broad cross-section on why our children and young adult children cannot endure two more years under a communist dictator.

We Are Leaving Our Children With Very Limited Educational Futures and Fewer Job Prospects

The educational prospects for the future of children are bleak. We are leaving our children opportunities to advance their knowledge and job-related educational opportunities on a level with most third world countries. Foreign exchange students who come and study in our high schools and colleges marvel at how bad our children have it. Here is just a small cross-section of what our children are facing courtesy of the banker-hijacked government we now find ourselves living under.

During 2011, 53 percent of all Americans with a bachelor’s degree under the age of 25 were either unemployed or underemployed.

At this point about half of all recent college graduates are working jobs that do not even require a college degree.

The number of Americans in the 16 to 29 year old age bracket with a job declined by 18 percent between 2000 and 2010.

Incomes for U.S. households led by someone between the ages of 25 and 34 have fallen by about 12 percent after you adjust for inflation since the year 2000.

In 1984, the median net worth of households led by someone 65 or older was 10 times larger than the median net worth of households led by someone 35 or younger. Today, the median net worth of households led by someone 65 or older is 47 times larger than the median net worth of households led by someone 35 or younger.

In 2011, SAT scores for young men were the worst that they had been in 40 years.

Incredibly, approximately two-thirds of all college students graduate with student loans.

According to the Federal Reserve, the total amount of student loan debt has risen by 275 percent since 2003.

In America today, 40 percent of all households that are led by someone under the age of 35 are paying off student loan debt. Back in 1989, that figure was below 20 percent.

The Depression Is Already Here

The bottom may not have fallen our of the economy yet, but the Depression is already upon us. Our economy is an “event” away from free-fall status as we descend into the abyss of being a third world country.

I could hardly believe my eyes when the Social Security Administration discussed wages in the U.S. in a report that was recently released.

-39 percent of American workers made less than $20,000 last year.

-52 percent of American workers made less than $30,000 last year.

-63 percent of American workers made less than $40,000 last year.

-72 percent of American workers made less than $50,000 last year.

The total amount of student loan debt in the United States now exceeds the total amount of credit card debt in the United States.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 11 percent of all student loans are at least 90 days delinquent.

The student loan default rate in the United States has nearly doubled since 2005.

One survey found that 70% of all college graduates wish that they had spent more time preparing for the “real world” while they were still in college.

In the United States today, there are more than 100,000 janitors that have college degrees.

In the United States today, 317,000 waiters and waitresses have college degrees.

Today, an all-time low 44.2 percent of all Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 are married.

One poll discovered that 29 percent of all Americans in the 25 to 34 year old age bracket are still living with their parents.

Overall, approximately 25 million American adults are living with their parents according to Time Magazine.

According to a Census Bureau report that was released just this week, 65 percent of all children in America are living in a home that receives some form of aid from the federal government. The National Center on Family Homelessness reports that the number of homeless children in the United States has reached a new all-time high of 2.5 million. The National Center for Children in Poverty says that 45 percent of all U.S. children belong to low income families.

The Slave Training of Our Youth

Whether it be a colleague, a boss, a teacher or a police officer, bowing down to authority should never be deemed to be normal, appropriate or required inside of the territorial boundaries of the United States. However, this is precisely what school children in San Bernardino, CA. are being forced to do when a teacher blows their whistle, the children are to immediately kneel in their presence.

When challenged by the media, the spokespersons from the school district stated that the policy was “to maintain order and to keep the children safe”.

This is just another policy being justified under the guise of protecting the children. School officials refer to this practice as “positive behavioral intervention“, I call it slave training.

The First Amendment Is Gone: School Teaches All Whites Are Racists If They Disagree with Obama

In Dupo, Illinois, fourth grade school children are required to read an Obama biography that tells the students that white citizens are racists. The stated objective of the reading and the subsequent teaching lessons is that if a white person disagrees with President Obama’s policies, said white people are racists and should be singled out for corrective action. Students will be required to pass a test on the material.

The school officials are calling this fourth grade program “sensitivity training”, I call this program, the Hitler Youth Movement. This scenario is becoming more and more prevalent. As a case in point, do you remember when a San Antonio school district forced children to wear RFID tracking devices and these children were even tracked as they made their way home?

The President can chastise law enforcement for being prejudicial in their actions and attitudes towards minorities. However, when it comes to defending the civil rights of all our children, regardless of race, Obama is suspiciously silent. His intent is clear, he is dead set on the complete evisceration of the Constitutional and our civil liberties. Before you roll your eyes, let me remind you that this President was the impetus behind the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act in which anyone can be snatched off the street for the purposes of indefinite detainment without due process. If you are one the sheep whose favorite beverage is Kool-Aid, Google the National Defense Authorization Act and say goodbye to the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

Best Country in the World? Salary Compensation America used be thought of as the land of opportunity. The truth is that America should be labeled as the land of declining and disappearing opportunity.

First and foremost, Americans no longer live in the highest salary paying country in the world. In fact, the United States does not even crack the top ten list of the highest salary paying countries on the planet in which Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Japan, Norway, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom round out the top ten and pay their workers more than workers in the United States. In fact, the United States only ranks 20th in terms of overall gross pay! One would be very naive to call America the land of opportunity. Instead, America is the land of predatory corporations and banks which have hijacked our government for their own benefit at the expense of the American people.

Best Country in the World? Health Care

Our education is substandard, our earning power is substandard, our tax rates are exorbitant and we increasingly live in a rapidly emerging police state. But at least we have our health. Unfortunately, that is not quite true as the United States spends more than the next 12 nations for health care. However, it seems as if we are spending more and enjoying it less as, despite our exorbitant spending on health care, the United States ranks 51st in the world in life expectancy. Cuba, Puerto Rico and Spain have higher life expectancies than the United States. Americans live in the only country in the world where its citizens cannot bargain shop for its medicines in foreign countries because the pharmaceuticals have convinced congress to establish a pharmaceutical monopoly over U.S. citizens. Voice over talent, Jonathan Lockwood is in the process of relocating to San Miguel, Mexico. Mr. Lockwood will be able to purchase INTERNATIONAL health insurance for $150 per month. In the United States, international health care insurance is not permitted by the criminal government who is maintaining a mafia-type protection racket for the managed health care companies. “Death by doctor” has increased to 225,000 patients deaths per year due to gross negligence.

And with Obamacare death panels looming on the near horizon, things can only get worse.

Best Country in the World? Freedom?

Aren’t we leaving our children a country with unparalleled freedoms? At least that is what I hear every time I watch a sporting event on television and we are told to honor our soldiers (which we should do). Unfortunately, our children are no more free that the previously mentioned enslaved children in San Antonio or San Bernardino.

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Democracy Index 2011, the United States is tied with Romania for forty-ninth in civil liberties. Several countries such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Norway are tied for first. Don’t worry, I am sure our children will take care of us in our old age because we taken such good care of their future.

Change We Can Believe In

Our children’s futures cannot take two more years of Obama’s dismantling of the country.

If this country wasn’t so apathetic, fragmented and dumbed-down, we could change the direction we are headed in. Most states have recall provisions in their State Constitutions. A public who is unified could deliver a message to Congress, IMPEACH OBAMA OR ELSE. Self-preservation trumps political allegiance. It is not very difficult to predict what Obama would do next, in the face of impeachment, as he would undoubtedly draw upon his community activist days, manufacture a false flag, declare martial law and suspend Congress. And that is where the military would come in and anyone paying attention knows that the military is merely looking for a pretext to act. You have to admit, this makes sense, it truly does. And then, unfortunately, we both woke up!

What Will You Tell Your Children?

Didn’t our Founding Fathers throw off the shackles of tyranny by breaking away from King George III for a whole lot less?

Impeachment, military coup, or doing nothing, when America’s demise can no longer be hidden from the people and when the New World Order is fully implemented, what will you tell you children about what you did to help preserve their future? Will you be able to face your children in good conscience?

Children need to be worried about the piano lessons, their sports teams, their first crush, their schooling, they do not need to be burdened with dealing with geopolitical issues stemming from the bankers trying to run this planet. Yet, our children’s lives are increasingly being dominated by this march towards economic and political totalitarianism.

If you are awake as to what is going on and you have children, you will one day be forced to answer the questions that your children ask about the world that they live in. And for the life of me, I do not know how to tell my child how to live in the New World Order that we have left him courtesy of our ignorance, apathy and our collective turning our backs on the word of God. Do you?

9 instances of duplicitous hypocrisy from the left
.................................................................
by Allen West on December 13, 2014
allenbwest.com


The duplicitous hypocrisy of the progressive socialist left.


“In a universe of deceit, truth becomes a revolutionary act.”


1. Consider the Chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee who releases a partisan report denouncing interrogation tactics because she felt it was important for our country to bare its soul.

As well, this same Chairwoman speaks of the need to be “transparent.” Yet, the released report including no input from the opposing minority party — nor were any of the individuals from the agency attacked interviewed or allowed to provide an alternate point of view.

2. When it comes to transparency, how come that doesn’t apply to this same group of politicians when it comes to the IRS, Operation Fast and Furious, Benghazi, or any of the countless other issues that have characterized the federal government?

It’s “transparently apparent” to me that transparency only works when it serves the purpose of one group. And that fact goes completely unreported. Just like the Jonathan Gruber episode — which oh by the way, this week, the Senate Democrat report was released on the same day when Mr. Gruber was on Capitol Hill, blubbering before a hearing.

I suppose you can guess which got the most coverage from the liberal progressive media.

3. Why must the incoming GOP Senate Majority be forced to consider undoing the current Senate Democrat Majority leader’s change of the 60-vote threshold rule for presidential judicial appointees?

If that standard needed to change for the Democrats, then it should stand, for all. If you like your 60-vote threshold, you can keep your 60-vote threshold. Period.

But this is just one among many of the duplicitous hypocrisies of the current Senate majority.

4. Why is it that no one reports on the nearly 370 pieces of legislation passed in the House that sit on the Senate Majority leader’s desk? Yet, which party is castigated as “obstructionists” on Capitol Hill?

How can it be that the Senate under Democrat control can go an entire year and not pass one appropriations bill and we’re told it’s because of a “do nothing Congress” — wink, wink, meaning the GOP controlled House?

And oh by the way, when the current Senate Majority leader, who will be the minority leader in January, states that he will be an obstructionist — where are the media reports?

5. What happens when the leader of our nation is rewarded with the infamous title of “Lie of the Year” in 2013? Remember the countless chimes of “Bush lied?” Funny how quite a few Democrats seemed to agree about Saddam Hussein and weapons of mass destruction, but you never hear that anymore (but here it is on video).

6. How about a president who can state nearly 25 times that he doesn’t have the power to do something, then turn around and say he can do it, then he does it, and then says he never said he couldn’t do it — regarding immigration reform. All of a sudden it’s fashionable to claim “prosecutorial discretion” — which down South we call cherry picking — when it comes to the oath of office to “faithfully execute the laws” of the United States. The oath doesn’t anything about executing this one or that one. It’s not about the political ideology, but rather realizing that you lead all Americans — not just the ones you heard who didn’t vote in the midterm elections.

If the U.S. Constitution means so little to the chief executive — and the media — then what is the future of our Republic? I fear a dangerous precedent is being established — or at least a duplicitous standard for one party.

7. All lives matter, but apparently right now only “black lives matter.” But exactly which black lives? Certainly the lives of countless young black men in the inner cities of America don’t seem to matter — Chicago comes to mind. And what of the millions of unborn black lives — who speaks for them, where is their voice? Do they really matter? I guess not because it’s not a part of the progressive socialist agenda. So a butcher like Kermit Gosnell could commit horrendous crimes and barely receive any attention from the liberal progressive media — don’t those lives matter? Then again, we have an Attorney General who injects himself into a case in Virginia involving the kidnapping, car jacking, and murder of a reserve police officer denying the death penalty in the case. The officer was white, the four assailants, black. It seems to the far left, innocent lives are guilty — and guilty lives are innocent, at least when it comes to the issuance of the death penalty. Quite hypocritical.

8. How is it that a Marine with two combat tours suffering from PTSD was abandoned for months while a soldier who deserted is heralded? If we so needed transparency with the Senate Democrat report on enhanced interrogation techniques, where is the transparency on the Bowe Bergdahl investigation? And why isn’t the liberal progressive media asking the same question?

9. How can it be that we reward Lois Lerner with a six-figure taxpayer-funded pension, while we send “pink slips” to our men and women serving in combat? As a matter of fact, how can one president who admittedly associated with domestic terrorists and other subversives, regularly consumed illegal substances, and traveled to a country on the no-travel list for Americans receive a top secret clearance — when no one serving in uniform could do likewise?

I am constantly amused that this website gets so much readership from the left, who go out of their way to target and attack what they fear – particularly when their hypocrisy is brought to light. But those of us who do refuse to surrender will do our best to inspire others to make a stand for the future of our nation.

For the left, it is about power and their playbook is Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, from which two immediately come to mind:

Rule 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

Rule 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.).

The left fully embraces those rules, and therefore it’s hard to hold them to any standard of governance of the fundamental principles of our Republic — after all, it was about the “fundamental transformation,” remember?

Consider the meaning of the word “compromise” by the left — in the first two years of the current administration was that word ever used by the media? However, as soon as a majority was lost in one chamber of the U.S. Congress, the cry became “compromise” — which is actually a code word for acquiescence and submission to the left.

The left seeks to advance its agenda via lies, deceit, coercion, deception, intimidation, and if need be, mob violence. They live by one rule: “by any means necessary.” And when the progressive socialist left comes up against anyone willing to take a stance, well, they resort to Alinsky’s Rule 12 — the politics of character assassination – believe me, I know.

However, those who believe fervently in the principles and values of liberty and freedom, will not cower nor relent — just as our Founding Fathers and the Continental Army did not relent against the British, starting with the Declaration of Independence.

So how can those who seek to restore our Republic through effective governing policy succeed against such odds? We must not succumb to their tactics and recognize them at every turn. We cannot cower away in fear of the attacks and reprisals and we cannot allow those who take a stand to be isolated through the Alinsky practice of demonizing, denigrating and dehumanizing.

My friends, this is what we’re up against, but we’ve been brought into existence for a time such as this — a defining moment for America. Join the resistance.

Molon Labe.

Recall Starts Before Anti-Common Core Arizona Schools Superintendent Even Takes Office


Since Democrats couldn’t beat her fairly, they are now going about it underhandedly, misusing the electoral system in order to overturn the democratic process. This is an abuse of the recall system, which was created for recalling politicians who have done things the voters don’t like while in office. Douglas doesn’t even take office until January.

sfppr.org
By Rachel Alexander
December 15, 2014



Article:


Diane Douglas, a little-known, outspoken opponent of Common Core who ran for Arizona Superintendent of Schools on that issue, surprised everyone this fall when she won. Incredibly, only five days after the election – the day it was announced she had won – a couple of opponents launched a recall effort against her. They formed a political committee and started a Facebook page, which has almost 10,000 likes already.

The premature recall is even more ill-timed considering teachers are now turning against Common Core. A recent poll found that support from teachers dropped from 76 percent in 2013 to only 46 percent in 2014 – lower than the general population’s support. In fact, 60 to 65 percent of teachers are either “frustrated” or “worried” by Common Core. Public opposition has increased from 12 percent to 40 percent.

Douglas describes Common Core as “controlled by federal bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., or ivory-tower academics or quite frankly people who just want to make a dollar off our poor children.” Instead, she says as schools superintendent she intends to listen to parents and teachers.

Anthony Espinoza, the 25-year-old organizer behind the recall, told 3TV, “I believe that she’s unqualified to lead the state schools because the way she ran her campaign was behind closed doors. She refused to talk to media, she ran on one issue which was to repeal Common Core.” In Arizona, where the media is controlled by the left, it is not unusual for conservative candidates to refuse to speak to the media, instead going straight to the people to deliver their message.

Most of the comments on the recall’s Facebook page are nothing more than cheap shots at Douglas’s intelligence and experience. I attended conservative political meetings with Douglas for years, where she frequently gave speeches, and was nothing less than impressed with her knowledge, intelligence and competency. One commenter wrote, “She doesn’t know how to speak properly!! She’s a complete moron!!!” Clearly, they never have actually bothered to listen to her speak.

Another wrote, “The point is that she is just anyone selected off the street and placed into a high stressed, crazy responsibility position with ZERO experience and knowledge about how to educate.” Actually, Douglas served on the Peoria Unified School District Governing Board for seven years, including two years as president. She also served on the Site Councils of Desert Valley Elementary and Ironwood H.S. in the Peoria district, the Apostle’s Lutheran Church Board of Education for five years and its preschool board for two years. She has taught classes on creating stained glass.

Many on the Facebook recall page attack Douglas for only having an undergraduate degree, and some don’t even bother to find out that much about her, as evidenced by this comment, “Does she even have a college degree in anything? I know nothing of her personally, so am trying to find out.” Another declared without anything to back it up, “She is barely qualified to teach stained glass.” Similarly,, “She stands for ignorance and is damn proud of it. That’s the problem,” another wrote. However, Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer doesn’t have a college degree and virtually no one has criticized her. Nor did previous Arizona governor Rose Mofford.

One commenter who was surprisingly not censored off the page called out the criticism:

I’m just curious: Can someone tell me how many K-12 teachers we’ve had as Superintendent of Public Instruction? (In my opinion, in my ideal world, a solid background in K-12 public school teaching should be a requirement for the office.) I’m looking back at all of the people I remember off the top of my head – Huppenthal, Horne, Molera, Keegan – and I’m not remembering anyone who was really qualified. As far as I know, David Garcia never taught K-12 a day of his life. Am I wrong?

The far left Daily Kos had nothing but crude and disgusting words to say about Douglas – more of a commentary on the writer’s lack of education than hers.

Douglas’ experience in education consists of serving mostly thanklessly on the school board; a relatively low-level position with no pay, little recognition or prestige. Anyone with the dedication to serve in such a position – especially as usually the lone conservative among the leftists who are attracted to school boards – is doing it because they really care.

Some of the comments were downright offensive, speaking volumes about the type of people trying to remove Douglas. One woman wrote,

It’s the retirees … they don’t want to pay anything to churn out educated youth in this state. They are too stupid to realize that educated youth equates to them getting better jobs and lower property crime in the wealthy neighborhoods in which these retirees live. Because I can’t see how any sensible Republican who is raising children and is actively involved in building business would have ever voted for this woman, unless they are trailer trash Republicans, which the wealthy Republicans absolutely adore … for their stupidity alone.

Passenger tossed after flipping out over staff’s ‘Merry Christmas
........................................................................................
By Michael Liss, Daniel Prendergast and Philip Messing December 25, 2014
nypost.com

Bah, humbug!

A passenger was tossed off a plane at La Guardia Airport on Tuesday after flipping out — because airline workers wished him a merry Christmas.

The man was waiting to board American Airlines Flight 1140 to Dallas when a cheerful gate agent began welcoming everyone with the Yuletide greeting while checking boarding passes.

The grumpy passenger, who appeared to be traveling alone, barked at the woman, “You shouldn’t say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas.”

The agent replied, “Well, what should I say then?”

“Don’t say, ‘Merry Christmas!’?” the man shouted before brushing past her.

Once on the plane, he was warmly greeted by a flight attendant who also wished him a “merry Christmas.” That was the last straw.

“Don’t say, ‘Merry Christmas!’?” the man raged before lecturing the attendants and the pilot about their faux pas.

The crew tried to calm the unidentified man, but he refused to back down and continued hectoring them.

He was escorted off the plane as other fliers burst into cheers and applause.

American Airlines did not return a request for comment.

Guess how many people showed up to watch the Los Angeles Kwanzaa parade
..........................................................................................................................................
December 27, 2014 by Twitchy Staff
twitchy.com

Yesterday, in Los Angeles, a social commentator named Jasmyne Cannick documented a parade in honor of Kwanzaa.

Unfortunately, the number people who watched was, shall we say, a bit on the low side.

A Flood of Closing Churches
..........................................................................
Catholic Culture ^ | 1//5/15 | Dr. Jeff Mirus


Church closures have reached flood stage in northern Europe. According to the Wall Street Journal ( “Europe’s empty churches go on sale”, unfortunately available only to subscribers), some 515 Catholic churches have been closed in Germany over the last decade and it is estimated that two-thirds of the 1600 Catholic churches in the Netherlands will be closed over the next decade. Seven hundred Protestant churches are also slated to close there over the next four years.

This trend creates obvious pressure to repurpose many large, old, expensive and high-maintenance structures. Churches are being converted to civic cultural uses where possible, such as libraries, art galleries, concert halls and fitness centers. St. Joseph’s Catholic church in Arnheim, Netherlands has become a skateboard hall for kids, and of course churches of all denominations have been converted to shops and restaurants.

Even where I am writing, in Manassas, Virginia, we have one old downtown church (not Catholic) which has been a restaurant for years. I do not know whether it is a judgment that no restaurant has ever prospered there, but different proprietors and chefs keep trying.

In England, an Anglican church, with its nice high ceilings, serves as the circus training school for Circomedia. In Scotland, a Lutheran church has become a Frankenstein-themed bar. The hot new idea is to sell unused churches as homes for rich people who abhor the bourgeois boredom of standard dwellings. Considering the spatial volume, old churches come cheap. But it does take money to convert and maintain them.

Obama’s Hawaii vacation is over, now it’s time for taxpayers to pay massive tab
.................................................................................
watchdog.org ^ | Jan. 9, 2015 | Malia Zimmerman


HONOLULU – President Barack Obama and his family just spent their Christmas and New Year’s holidays in Kailua.

Now it’s time for taxpayers to pick up the tab.


While the Obamas and friends who accompany them pay for their own private vacation home rentals on or near Kailua Beach, taxpayers foot a multimillion dollar tab for everything from a stand-by ambulance to the fuel for Air Force One.

Local taxpayers pick up the bill for Honolulu Police Department escorts who guard Obama, first lady Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha around the clock. Figures just released by HPD spokeswoman Michelle Yu show HPD spent $277,000 on overtime costs this year during the president’s 16-day vacation. That’s $16,000 less than in 2013, but $60,000 more than in 2012.

The Emergency Management Services department also dispatches an ambulance to be on call for the president, which annually costs the city about $15,890.

The U.S. Secret Service doesn’t disclose information about the expense for its agents to travel to and stay in Hawaii or guard the first family.


Dozens of Secret Service agents were spotted at Ala Moana Hotel checking in the day before Obama arrived
. A spokeswoman for the hotel said she couldn’t release details on the number of agents who stayed there, but hotel staff told Watchdog the government rate would be about $200 a night, including taxes.

Secret Service agents, Navy SEALs and Coast Guard officials also rent private homes along the canal near the president in Kailua at a cost of $250 per room per night, according to several residents renting their homes.


The most pricey charge to taxpayers is the flight to Oahu from Washington, D.C.

Records obtained by Washington, D.C.-based Judicial Watch said “the flights to and from Honolulu for the December 2013-January 2014 Christmas vacation totaled 36.9 hours at $210,877 an hour, which comes to a flight expense alone of $7,781,361.30.”

That was an increase of $3.7 million in flight expenses Judicial Watch reported the Obamas incurred for their 2012 Honolulu Christmas vacation.

No estimates for 2014’s travel have been released by the administration.

The cost for USAF C-17 cargo aircraft that transports presidential limos, helicopters and other support equipment to Hawaii has never been disclosed
, but the round-trip flight time between Andrews Air Force Base and Hawaii is 21.5 hours, with estimated operating cost of $12,000 per hour, according to an U.S. Government Accountability Office report.

The U.S. Marine Corps provides a presidential helicopter, along with pilots and support crews for the test flights, which travel on another C-17 flight. That totals $258,000, not including costs for the four-to-six-member crew’s per diem and hotel.

The Obamas rented the same five-bedroom oceanfront villa on Kailuana Place they’ve secured for the past four years. Sumit Capital LLC, a New York investment firm headed by Soumyo Sarkar and his wife Chinyu Sarkar, owns the multimillion-dollar property.

Security upgrades are made to the home, with bulletproof glass, additional phone lines and other detection and defense systems installed.



Since the home sits on the popular Kailua Beach, the U.S. Coast Guard stations a sea vessel nearby, while its officials use personal watercraft and smaller boats to patrol the ocean and canal surrounding the home.



The administration also rents cars for staff and security, and pays additional travel costs for Secret Service and White House staff traveling ahead of the president.



None of those costs have ever been released to the public.

Zoo Won’t Let de Blasio Hold Groundhog After He Killed One Last Year-- Groundhog Day 2015 -
.................................................................................................................
The American Spectator ^ | January 8, 2015 | Emily Zanotti




Zoo Won’t Let de Blasio Hold Groundhog After He Killed One Last Year

The NYPD isn't the only city organization that has lost complete confidence in the esteemed Mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio.

After he dropped the groundhog during last year's Groundhog Day celebrations, the Staten Island Zoo has unequivocally banned De Blasio from holding or handling any more of their animals in a celebratory setting.

- Mayor de Blasio won’t be killing any more groundhogs — zoo handlers are forbidding the butter-fingered mayor from holding the critter at the annual shadow-sighting ceremony on Feb. 2, The Post has learned.

The ban came after The Post first revealed that the groundhog de Blasio fumbled and dropped last year died a week later of internal injuries — and then Staten Island Zoo officials covered up the death...

“No one will be allowed to touch the groundhog,” one zoo insider briefed on the new policy told The Post.

The Groundhog Day celebration actually has quite the history of controversy. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg was also denied the opportunity to cuddle the creature after a 2009 incident where "Staten Island Chuck" was unwilling to leave his comfortable hovel and bit Bloomberg on the finger when he tried to coax it out.

WaPo Baffled to Discover Terrorists Don’t Obey Gun Control Laws

Posted by V the K at 12:13 pm - January 9, 2015.
Filed under: Gun Control, Media Bias

Since 1939, France has had the kind of “Common Sense Gun Control Laws” that groups financed by Mike Bloomberg claim to favor (although the laws don’t go far enough, in their view, because they still permit a small number of private citizens to own firearms.) The editorialists at the Washington Post are baffled why France’s strict gun laws failed to prevent the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

A genuinely troubling question: Why didn’t France’s gun laws save the Charlie Hebdo victims?

There is no right to bear arms for the French, and to own a gun, you need a hunting or sporting license which needs to be repeatedly renewed and requires a psychological evaluation.

You mean the Mohammedan terrorists refused to apply for gun permits or sit for psychological valuations, but decided to get guns anyway? Jamais dans la vie!

Even a dumb hick from flyover country could explain why gun control laws fail; because criminals and terrorists don’t obey gun laws. But the leftists at the Washington Post clearly are too educated to understand that.

What does NBC have against God?
.........................................................................................
Washington Times, Fox News via GOP USA ^ | January 10, 2015 7:13 am | Bobby Eberle




Well, they did it again. A few years ago, NBC was roundly criticized for omitting "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance in one of their promotional pieces. Now, they are doing it again. The question is... why?

As reported in The Washington Times, the promotional video for NBC's new show "Allegiance" uses the Pledge of Allegiance in the background of the clip:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Notice anything missing? The Pledge is used in its entirety except for the words "under God." Fox News' Todd Starnes called NBC to find out why they left out "under God" AGAIN, but he received no reply.

It's not the first time the Peacock Network has dissed a deity.

In 2011 NBC was forced, yes forced, to apologize after they omitted the phrase "one nation under God" from its coverage over the U.S. Open Championship. It happened not once, but twice.

Here is a video of one from NBC's U.S. Open promos:

(Watch video at link)

As noted in Todd Starnes' story:

NBC released a statement to the trade publication Broadcasting & Cable and said the decision to eliminate God was "made by a small group of people."

"This was a bad decision," NBC stated.

So... if it was a bad decision back then, why are they doing it again now?

Here's the trailer for NBC's "Allegiance":

(Watch trailer at link)

Did they really think people wouldn't notice? NBC may have a problem with God, but most people in America do not.

Obama--Disastrous Bumbler on the World Stage
.......................................................................................
Steyn Online ^ | January 21, 2015 | Mark Steyn

Obama's strategy for the rest of the world :


Libya, where he chose to go to war, is now a failed state.


Syria, where he drew a red line, has some 200,000 dead.

ISIS, which he dismissed as the junior varsity of jihad, controls half of Iraq and Syria and is executing US citizens live on camera and auctioning Japanese hostages for a fifth of a billion dollars.

In West Africa, to whom his wife held up a pouty-faced cardboard hastag #BringBackOurGirls, the girls haven't been brought back and Boko Haram are setting up a local variant of an ISIS state.

In Iran, where he claimed he'd halted their nuclear program, their stockpile of enriched uranium has increased since his so-called deal.

Al-Qaeda, which he said for years was" on the run", has just pulled off a high-profile mass murder in Paris that struck at the heart of a core western value – freedom of speech.

Brian Williams’ Self-Inflicted Wound Helps Arm Lefty Media's Critics
........................................................................................................................


February 5, 2015 Brian Lowry TV Columnist @blowryontv
variety.com


Brian Williams has committed perhaps the worst kind of self-inflicted wound.

The NBC anchor’s faulty and seemingly self-aggrandizing “memory” about his stint reporting from Iraq in 2003 pushes enough hot buttons to create a perfect storm of bad publicity. And NBC News has once again looked tardy, at best, in formulating a PR strategy in response to bad news, as it was during transitions at “Today” and “Meet the Press.”

Williams has stepped into the proverbial hornets’ nest, for reasons both of his own making and beyond his control.

Williams’ embellishment of his experience is particularly damaging coming from a journalist. Essentially, his account has reduced him to the role of unreliable witness, somebody whose version of an event was exposed as being significantly at odds with the facts.

Williams'. NBC happens to be affiliated with MSNBC, feeding the perception of a liberal “mainstream media” that can’t be trusted.

When Dan Rather was involved in a report about then-President George W. Bush’s National Guard service, that hastened his exit from CBS News. And there’s no doubt this cloud will linger over Williams for a while and be used to discredit or diminish both NBC News and its anchorman the next time the division.

Williams’ explanation of why he would foul up the story sounds like more of an evasion than a response, which won’t hasten making the controversy go away. Certainly, the 12-year time lapse hardly covers mixing up something as memorable as being aboard a helicopter that was actually forced to land after having been struck by ground fire.

Video: Watch: Brian Williams Tell Iraq Story to Letterman in 2013

Finally, there’s NBC News, which after awkwardly mishandling baton passes at “Meet the Press” and “Today” needed to look decisive in either disciplining Williams or giving him a vote of confidence. Admittedly, the story keeps changing — with a helicopter pilot backing up part of what Williams has said on Thursday — but either way, a guy who looked like the least of the division’s problems has now added to its woes.

Williams’ Iraq war story is the epitome of an unforced error by providing his critics legitimate ammunition.
