Russia Threatens To Retaliate Against U.S. Military
By Aaron Klein, WND —
Russia has delivered a behind-the-scenes threat to retaliate if airstrikes carried out by the U.S. or its allies target the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Middle Eastern security officials told WND. The security officials said Russia complained Sunday in quiet talks with United Nations representatives that the Obama administration’s current aerial campaign against Islamic State fighters in Syria is a violation of international agreements regarding control...

For Those Still In Denial, Picture Proves Obama’s Claim
That There Was No IRS Corruption To Be A Blatant Lie
By Jennifer Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
Remember Lois Lerner’s infamous words, “I have done nothing wrong.” She uttered these before she went on a rant defending herself, prior to invoking the Fifth Amendment during testimony about the IRS targeting scandal before Congress. Then, there was Barack Obama’s claim during an interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly before the Super Bowl in 2013. He adamantly stated that not only was there no corruption in regards to the IRS targeting of Tea...

WATCH Dr. Ben Carson Cut Into Eric Holder In A Way
Sure To Get Conservatives’ Attention
By Norvell Rose, Western Journalism —
When Ben Carson speaks, a lot of people listen — especially since Dr. Carson is sounding more and more like a potential GOP presidential contender. On “Fox News Sunday,” the former pediatric neurosurgeon reacted to Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation in typical Carson fashion — with low-key understatement. He accused the departing head of the Justice Department of not being “blinded.” Dr. Carson also told host Chris Wallace what he thinks of...

ISIS Campaign Tab At $1B, Could Top $22B A Year
By Melanie Batley, Newsmax —
American airstrikes against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria and Iraq have already cost nearly $1 billion and could cost as much as $22 billion a year if a ground forces are sent to the region to tackle the threat, a new report estimates. According to an analysis by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, the figures are based on sending 25,000 ground forces to the region. Though the Obama administration has ruled out using U.S. troops...

The Khorosan Group Does Not Exist

We’re being had. Again.

By Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review Online — For six years, President Obama has endeavored to will the country into accepting two pillars of his alternative national-security reality. First, he claims to have dealt decisively with the terrorist threat, rendering it a disparate series of ragtag jayvees. Second, he asserts that the threat is unrelated to Islam, which is innately peaceful, moderate, and opposed to the wanton “violent extremists” who purport to act in its name.

Now, the president has been compelled to act against a jihad that has neither ended nor been “decimated.” The jihad, in fact, has inevitably intensified under his counterfactual worldview, which holds that empowering Islamic supremacists is the path to security and stability. Yet even as war intensifies in Iraq and Syria — even as jihadists continue advancing, continue killing and capturing hapless opposition forces on the ground despite Obama’s futile air raids — the president won’t let go of the charade.

Hence, Obama gives us the Khorosan Group.

The who?

There is a reason that no one had heard of such a group until a nanosecond ago, when the “Khorosan Group” suddenly went from anonymity to the “imminent threat” that became the rationale for an emergency air war there was supposedly no time to ask Congress to authorize.

Obama Says U.S. ‘Underestimated’ Rise Of ISIS,
Admits ‘Contradictory’ Syria Policy
Fox News —
Obama acknowledged Sunday that U.S. intelligence officials "underestimated" the threat posed by the Islamic State and overestimated the Iraqi army’s capacity to defeat the militant group. The president said in a wide-ranging interview on CBS' “60 Minutes” that the Islamic State militants went "underground" after being squashed in Iraq and regrouped under the cover of the Syrian civil war. "During the chaos of the Syrian civil war, where...

Still No Statement From White House
On First Islamic Terrorist Beheading In U.S.
By Rick Moran, PJ Media —
It’s been 48 hours since Jah’Keem Yisrael — AKA Alton Noel — perpetrated a horrific terrorist attack on 54 year old co-worker Colleen Hufford, stabbing her repeatedly and then sawing her head off with a knife, and we have yet to hear any acknowledgment from President Obama of this worrisome incident. Why not? All the elements of an Islamic act of terror are present: the savagery, the shouting of Islamic verses during the act, the stated determination to carry...

‘SHARIA LAW IS COMING!!!!’:
Oklahoma Beheading Suspect Posted Photos Of Decapitation,
Wrote U.S. Is ‘Going Into Flames’ On Facebook
By Meg Wagner, Rich Schapiro, Daily News —
Months before he beheaded a co-worker at an Oklahoma food plant, a fired factory worker posted on Facebook a photo of a burning lower Manhattan during the 9/11 attacks. “Dnt yall knw why the Eastern part of the world hates Amerika? Everything God says don’t do Amerika does,” Alton Nolen wrote in the photo caption. “She (the Statue of Liberty) is going into flames. She and anybody who’s with her.” The picture and sickening screed are among...

Fired Oklahoma City Nursing Home Worker Threatened Beheading
Jacob Mugambi Muriithi, a native of Kenya,
was arrested Friday in Oklahoma City on a terrorism complaint.
By Nolan Clay, The Oklahoman —
In a bizarre coincidence, a fired Oklahoma City nursing home employee was arrested Friday after a co-worker reported he threatened to cut her head off. Jacob Mugambi Muriithi, 30, is being held in the Oklahoma County jail on a terrorism complaint. His bail is set at $1 million. “We take these threats very seriously,” Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said. The arrest came on the same day police in Moore revealed fired Vaughan Foods...

Obama: Oklahoma Muslim Beheader NOT Muslim

Partial Transcript: A woman was just beheaded in Oklahoma, according to Police Sergeant Jeremy Lewis. The evil act occurred at the work place at Vaughan Foods, a food processing plant. The suspect was a former worker at the plant who had previously tried to convert several of his fellow workers to Islam.

Vaughn Foods owner Mark Vaughan, who just so happened to be a reserve deputy sheriff, shot and wounded the knife wielding man after he saw the man stabbing another employee in an act that likely saved more lives in his act of heroism.

So, here we have two clear cut political issues at hand here: a Muslim man beheading a non-Muslim woman, and a pro-gun business owner exercising his 2nd Amendment Constitutional Right to carry a weapon to protect his employees and his property.

Surely you would think that even Barack Obama would have to admit that in this case the gun packing capitalist did the right thing in shooting the Muslim attacker.

Don't hold your breath. Instead we can likely expect Obama to say something like this...

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. ~ Matthew 24:3-14
