Cruz Calls Out Obama On Islamic Terror
‘Unwilling or unable to tell friend from foe’
By Garth Kant — WASHINGTON – Sen. Ted Cruz had a diplomatic answer to a tough question but one that also revealed a skepticism of the Obama administration’s foreign policy that could hardly run deeper.The last question for the Texas Republican after his speech at Heritage Foundation’s summit on “Opportunity for all, favoritism to none” came from WND.
“Given the administration is releasing enemies of the U.S. from prison at Guantanamo Bay while trying to jail Gen. Petraeus, is it too provocative to ask which side are we on?”
As the crowd “oohed,” Cruz confidently smiled while pausing to let the gasps die down, then said he wouldn’t quite put it that way.
But he then launched into a lengthy and nuanced response that did not seem entirely at odds with the gist of the question.
“This administration has a very difficult time telling the good guys from the bad guys,” he began.
Expressing extreme skepticism toward the Obama administration’s competence in foreign policy, Cruz’s thoughts were perhaps summed up in a few poignant and scathing observations.
“There is a consistent pattern in this administration of being unable, or unwilling, to tell friend from foe.”
And, “Our friends don’t trust us, and our enemies don’t fear us.”
He concluded, “That is a dangerous state of affairs, and it needs to change.”
In his detailed answer, the senator criticized Obama’s absence at the unity march against radical Islamic terrorism Sunday in Paris.
Cruz said that everywhere around the world, the question expressed in hushed tones by world leaders was the same: “Where is America?”
It was true in Paris, and it is true around the globe, said Cruz.
He cited a litany of what he considered missteps, from sending a bust of Winston Churchill back to England to “shameful” treatment of Israel.
Cruz portrayed Obama as the most antagonistic U.S. president to the nation of Israel in history.
“He constantly refuses to stand by our allies, but when it comes to thugs like (Russian President Vladimir) Putin … ” said the senator, letting the sentence trail off.
Cruz then reminded everyone how Obama had assured Russian leaders he would have “more flexibility” after the election.
“How’s that worked out?” Cruz asked rhetorically, to rueful laughter from the room.
Cruz also cited the administration’s apparent willingness to let Iran build centrifuges and enhance uranium. He called the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon the greatest national security threat facing the United States.
He also had a prescription to stop terrorism.
Cruz recalled former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s observation that to stop radical Islamic terrorism, we just need more empathy.
“No, we don’t,” said Cruz.
“We need the resolve to stop them.”
Cruz had a number of comments on a variety of other subjects, ranging from incisive observations to pithy but blunt exhortations.
The senator had a simple prescription to enact what he called the single most important tax reform: “Abolish the IRS.”
Cruz said that might not be possible with Obama still in the White House but insisted it could be done with a Republican president.
He called it less unlikely than the major tax reforms President Ronald Reagan managed to install with the help of former House Speaker Tip O’Neill, a Democrat.
Cruz deplored what he called the weaponization of the IRS, accusing the administration of using it to punish its enemies.
The senator called school choice the civil rights issue of the age, accusing the Justice Department of obstructing minority children from obtaining a good education by denying them the right to pick their own schools.
Cruz called Washington, D.C., “fundamentally corrupt,” saying lawmakers’ allegiance to corporate interests over voters was one of the many reasons to pass term limits.
He recounted how, on the campaign trail, every Republican candidate railed against Obamacare and the president’s executive amnesty for illegal immigrants. Those were also the top two issues mentioned by voters at every stop, he noted.
But now, the only sound from GOP leaders about those topics is “crickets.”
“It ain’t complicated, and we need to do what we said we’d do,” said Cruz, speaking to his colleagues as much as to those in the auditorium....
We Are Charlie, Indeed! 22 Terror Camps In U.S.
Groups fly under radar as Congress seems unconcerned
By Leo Hohmann, WND Exclusive — Last week’s brazen attack by a “home-grown” terrorist cell in France that targeted the staff of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has drawn renewed interest in potential cells operating inside the United States. And there are many. The FBI is aware of at least 22 paramilitary Islamic communes in the U.S., operated by the shadowy Pakistan-based group Jamaat al-Fuqra and its main U.S. front group, Muslims of America Inc. With U.S. headquarters in Islamberg, New York, the group headed by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani operates communes in mostly remote areas of California, Georgia, South Carolina, New York, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, Michigan, Tennessee and other states....10 Signs That Russia Is Preparing To Fight (And Win)
A Nuclear War With The United States
A Nuclear War With The United States
By Michael Snyder, End Of The American Dream — If the United States and Russia fought a nuclear war, who would win? You might be surprised by the answer. Under the Obama administration, the rapidly aging U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal has been shrinking. Meanwhile, the Russians have been developing an entirely new generation of bombers, submarines and missiles that have the capability of delivering an absolutely crippling first strike. At this point, most Americans consider a full-scale nuclear war to be inconceivable. But in Russia attitudes are completely different. To the Russians, the United States is enemy number one these days and the Russians are feverishly preparing for a potential military showdown. Of course the Russians don’t actually want to have to resort to nuclear war. Such an event would be an unspeakable horror for the entire globe. But if one does happen, the Russians want to make sure that they are the ones that come out on top.A lot of Americans are still operating under the faulty assumption that the doctrine of “mutually assured destruction” still applies. The thinking was that both sides had so many nuclear missiles that a launch by one side would guarantee the destruction of both parties. But since that time, so much has changed....

Imam: New Charlie Hebdo Cartoon ‘Act Of War’
By Andre Walker, Breitbart— Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has called the latest front cover of Charlie Hebdo an “act of war” against Muslims. The magazine features Mohammed crying and holding a “Je Suis Charlie” sign, with the headline roughly translating to “Everything is forgiven”. But Choudary was unimpressed with the offering from the remaining staff at Charlie Hebdo claiming it was “ridiculing” Mohammed. He said the magazine was attacking the Muslim leader’s personality, and that publishing it was “extremely serious”.This is the second intervention by Choudary since Islamic terrorists launched the devastating machine gun attack on Charlie Hebdo that left 17 dead and many more injured. Soon after the murders, he issued an open letter in which he said: “Contrary to popular misconception, Islam does not mean peace but rather means submission to the commands of Allah alone. Therefore, Muslims do not believe in the concept of freedom of expression, as their speech and actions are determined by divine revelation and not based on people’s desires.”...
WH Explains Why It Won’t Use Term ‘Radical Islam’
“I certainly wouldn’t want to be in a position where I’m repeating
the justification they have cited that I think is illegitimate.”
By Bradford Thomas, Ben Shapiro's Truth Revolt — White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest attempted to rationalize the administration’s refusal to use the term “radical Islam” in describing the terror attacks carried out in Paris last week, explaining to reporters Tuesday that calling the self-professed Muslims “Muslims” would not be “accurate” and only validate their attempts to “invoke Islam to justify their attacks.”I certainly wouldn’t want to be in a position where I’m repeating the justification they have cited that I think is illegitimate. They had invoked Islam to justify their attacks. I think what I’m trying to do is to describe to you what happened and what they did. These individuals are terrorists. […] We have chosen not to use that label [of radical Islam] because it doesn’t seem to accurately describe what happened.As the Washington Times notes, the Obama administration seems to be alone among the world’s leaders in its attempt to deny the self-described ideology of the Islamist terrorists. Other leaders—most notably French President Francois Hollande—are consistently describing the terrorists as adherents to "radical Islam."...

By Staff Writer, TPNN — As the Obama regime continues to make the claim that ISIS is not representative of Islam, the Paris terrorist attack by Muslims who shouted “We avenged for the Prophet Muhammad,” and still contends that the murder of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood by Muslim Nidal Malik Hasan, who shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ was workplace violence, ISIS continues to slaughter people and make videos to show off their atrocities. In the latest propaganda video released by ISIS, a young boy is shown executing two Russians accused of spying.

By Heather Clark, Christian News Network — (NEW YORK) The New York Police Department is on high alert after ISIS, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, issued a call on Saturday for Muslims to “strike police” and other civil authorities—a threat that the government is taking seriously following last week’s dual Islamic attacks in Paris. “Do not let the battle pass you by wherever you may be,” ISIS spokesman Abu Mohamad Al-Adnani declared in an online video. “Strike their police, security and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents.” “[For those] who don’t have an improvised explosive device or a bullet, [you] can smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car,” he said....TERRORIST NATION

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
