Wait…If Obama Acts Unilaterally,
President Cruz Will Be Able To As Well!
By Greg Campbell— It seems the left is finally starting to realize the danger of setting a precedent that lawlessness is okay.After Republicans regained control of the Senate, liberal pundits began suddenly regretting their support for Harry Reid’s despotism as soon, Republican Mitch McConnell will be calling the shots in the Senate and all those filibuster reforms and dirty tricks may come back to haunt the Democrats.
Now, the folks at The Washington Post have pieced-together the danger of having a president run amok: doing so gives his successor license to do the same.
And much to their terror, they worry about what President Cruz might do if given the opportunity to rule unilaterally as Emperor Obama has.
Of course, unlike Obama, Ted Cruz has maintained a deep reverence for law and order. Though a Cruz Administration would likely play hardball with those who have decimated our economy, it’s safe to say that the strict constitutionalist would take his oath of office far more seriously than Obama has.
Still, The Washington Post writes of an oh-so-horrifying, not-so-distant future:
DEMOCRATS URGING President Obama to “go big” in his executive order on immigration might pause to consider the following scenario:There is, however, a tremendous difference in the aforementioned situation: the Constitution does not charge the president or any branch of the government with forcing people to buy a product. It does however, require the federal government to maintain national sovereignty.
It is 2017. Newly elected President Ted Cruz (R) insists he has won a mandate to repeal Obamacare. The Senate, narrowly back in Democratic hands, disagrees. Mr. Cruz instructs the Internal Revenue Service not to collect a fine from anyone who opts out of the individual mandate to buy health insurance, thereby neutering a key element of the program. It is a matter of prosecutorial discretion, Mr. Cruz explains; tax cheats are defrauding the government of billions, and he wants the IRS to concentrate on them. Of course, he is willing to modify his order as soon as Congress agrees to fix what he considers a “broken” health system.
That is not a perfect analogy to Mr. Obama’s proposed action on immigration. But it captures the unilateral spirit that Mr. Obama seems to have embraced since Republicans swept to victory in the midterm elections. He is vowing to go it alone on immigration. On Iran, he is reportedly designing an agreement that he need not bring to Congress. He already has gone that route on climate change with China.
With this in mind, an executive order clarifying that the IRS will no longer be charged with enforcing Obamacare would be lawful while an executive order granting amnesty to millions of criminals who have violated our national sovereignty is definitely not.
What appears amazing is that after six long years, the editorial board of one of the most-prestigious newspapers in the world is one of the few on the left who has finally come to barely understand the dangers represented in the “slippery-slope” argument.
Yes- having a favorable political agenda fast-tracked via brash rhetoric and illegal means is great in the short term; however, setting a precedent that a president may behave as a king only dismantles the political system upon which our republic is based and allows for the next president to behave as a tyrant as well.
Either we have a system of government or we do not; the ends do not justify the means and it’s alarming that after so long, the left is only beginning to question the wisdom of supporting a despot.

NATO Fears Grow As Russian Build-Up Continues
Newsmax — Germany's foreign minister said Tuesday he was not optimistic about an end to the conflict in Ukraine because of a "dangerous" escalation of fighting in the east. Frank-Walter Steinmeier made the downbeat assessment after NATO's secretary-general spoke of a "very serious build-up" of troops, artillery and air defense systems inside Ukraine and on the Russian side of the border.Steinmeier was the first senior European minister to visit Moscow since July, in a sign of how relations between the West and Russia have dived to a post-Cold War low over the conflict in eastern Ukraine. "There are no grounds for optimism in the current situation," Steinmeier said at a press conference after talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Moscow....

Leaked EU Document Outlines Anti-Israel Policy
Israel Today — The European Union has distributed to its 28 member states a secret document outlining its policy of sanctions against Israel should the Jewish state violate certain “red lines” in the peace process with the Palestinians. That according to a report in the left-leaning Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, which cited Israeli diplomats in Europe who inadvertently became aware of the document.The directive calls for broad sanctions against Israel in the event of any further Jewish construction in the area known as E1 near Ma’aleh Adumim or in those parts of eastern Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinian Authority....
Netanyahu: It’s Time For The World To Condemn Terrorism
By Jeff Dunetz, Truth Revolt — At a Tuesday evening press conference responding to the terrorist attack in a Jerusalem synagogue, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angrily called on world leaders to end their mendacity regarding terrorist attacks against Jews, saying, "I call on all the leaders of countries in the Western world: I want to see outrage over this massacre. I want to see denunciation."We are in the midst of a terror campaign focused on Jerusalem. Today in the middle of Shacharit [Jewish morning prayers], while covered in prayer shawls, four rabbis were massacred, four Jews, innocent Jews, pure Jews. We send our condolences to the families and a speedy recovery to all the injured among whom are brave policemen who prevented through their actions even bigger catastrophe. Those human animals that committed this massacre came with great hatred and incitement. The deep hatred and incitement against the Jewish people and its state.
Netanyahu blamed the attack on the continual incitement coming from Palestinian leadership....

World Silent As Egypt Destroys Gaza Homes With Bulldozers
By Shoebat Foundation — There is a rule for the Jews and a different rule for the Egyptians and all other Muslim countries. If Israel lays a finger on a Palestinian or destroys the homes of the families of Palestinian suicide bombers the outcry from the left and the media worldwide is never ending. Time and time again when Muslims mistreat their fellow Muslims with horrific atrocities against inncocent people the world ignores it and remains silent. Here is just another prime example of this double standard with the clarity that Jew hate is alive and well not just from the so called extremists but from the elitists in the media and the professors on your local left wing Univeristy campus.CNN as we just reported have now sunk to an even lower low with recent reporting from Israel. If I were the minister of Justice in Israel all CNN’s staff and reporters would have their press credentials canceled and expelled from the country. Free speech is okay but free lies with a deliberate bias to incite hatred on par with the Nazi style propaganda should not be tolerated. In fact what CNN is doing is putting Jews in danger worldwide with their dispiciple lies....

“TOO MANY PALESTINIANS HAVE DIED”
By Frances Martel, Breitbat — President Obama has responded to today’s terrorist attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem in which four Israeli Jews [were murdered] attending morning prayers condemning the attack, and stating that “the majority of Palestinians” want peace.In a statement delivered to the White House press pool, President Obama responded to the attack by declaring that “too many Palestinians have died,” as well as Israelis, in the struggle between the state of Israel and the terrorist group Hamas and its affiliates, including the internationally active Muslim Brotherhood. “At this difficult time,” the President told reports, “I think it’s important for both Palestinians and Israelis to try to work together to lower tensions and reject violence.”...

Episcopal leaders ‘oblivious’ to sermon’s meaning
By Leo Hohmann, WND — Islam is hard-wired with a “conquering” mentality that dates back to its earliest days, says a noted author, and that mentality was on display Friday at the Washington National Cathedral.Even in a service billed as a symbolic olive branch to Christianity, celebrated inside an iconic church, Islam’s air of supremacy could not help but leak out, says Dr. Andrew Bostom, author of several books on Islam including “The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims” in 2005 and “The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History” in 2008. Not that anyone in the Episcopal cathedral cared to notice....
Years Of Obamacare Problems Are Still On The Way
By Sarah Hurtubise, The Daily Caller — Given Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber’s candid comments, a whole load of information about Obamacare is now coming out — years too late for the public to weigh in on it. Americans clearly aren’t happy about it: approval of the health-care law has dropped to an all-time low of just 37 percent.It’s not surprising — a lot of things haven’t gone as promised. You were supposed to be able to keep your plan; that was a lie. Health insurance costs were supposed to fall — but premiums are rising. Obamacare was written to redistribute income for a select few — as this chart from the Brookings Institution makes clear:...

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
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
