Huma Abedin has specific “ties” to the Muslim Brotherhood, this is not in dispute; it is a fact.   Huma’s Egyptian mother is an open member of the Muslim Sisterhood.   So the answer from DHS Secretary Napolitano is flat-out “false”, or in real words, “a lie”.   The issue is NOT if she has ties, that is self-evident, the issue is whether the actual ties have “influence” over her. 

Huma Abedin’s mother, Saleha, who is a member  of the Muslim Brotherhood’s female division (the “Muslim Sisterhood”),  is a major figure in not one but two Union for Good components. The  first is the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief (IICDR).  It is banned in Israel for supporting Hamas under the auspices of the  Union for Good. Then there’s the International Islamic Committee for  Woman and Child (IICWC) — an organization that Dr. Saleha Abedin has  long headed. Dr. Abedin’s IICWC describes itself as part of the IICDR.  And wouldn’t you know it, the IICWC charter was written by none other than, wait for it, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s chief sharia jurist, in conjunction with several self-proclaimed members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Prog-logic is always based on various degrees of obfuscation, disingenuous hair-splitting and semantics.  (See Bill Clinton “it depends on what your definition of “is” is…. )  In Napolitano’s answers to the faux-questioning from Sheila Jackson Lee you find all of these aspects propagated to create specifically worded distractions.

Alarming to say the least.   However, the easiest way to deconstruct the falsehoods amid trained and comfortable liars are with additional questions, which -by the way- are always missed.   Such a question like:  “So Abedin’s mother is not then a member of the Muslim Sisterhood”?   This type of follow-up question always brings out the liar in the room.

A liar is bound by their connective ideology to continue shaping, molding and tweaking their response out of a necessary aim toward deflection.   The truth teller does not hold the same capacity to change their response with any adjustment.  Someone telling the truth has to repeat the same response over and over, because the truth does not change, it exists without variation, and does not have an agenda in delivery.

WASHINGTON DC – During a hearing Wednesday with the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano if DHS had discovered any links between a high-ranking official in the State Department and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The question was a nod to a letter authored by Rep. Michele Bachmann and signed by five House Republicans that was sent to the State Department. (more…)

(Huffington Idjits) Less than one week after the mass shooting which left 12 dead at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., the Denver Post reports background checks for people wanting to purchase firearms in the state have jumped more than 41 percent.

“It’s been insane,” Rocky Mountain Guns and Ammo employee Jake Meyers told the paper, saying there were already 15-20 people waiting outside the store when he arrived at work Friday morning, just hours after the massacre.

Over the weekend, the Colorado Bureau of Investigations approved 2,887 background checks for people seeking to purchase a firearm, according to the Post.

The spike follows an example set in Arizona, where gun sales soared following a shooting which left six dead and 13 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to Bloomberg.

That report cited data from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, which found one-day sales of handguns in Arizona jumped 60 percent two days after the shooting. (more…)

The Jackboots are coming !

The ATF’s Fast & Furious scandal has now led to Eric Holder being the first Attorney General ever found in contempt of Congress.  However, had it not been for whistle-blowers, the ATF’s arming of Mexican drug cartels would probably still be a secret.

Now a video memo from ATF boss Todd Jones has been leaked to the public by an unknown ATF employee. The video shows Todd Jones threatening agents not to go outside the chain of command.

Jones states, ” if you don’t find the appropriate way to raise your concerns to your leadership, there will be consequences.” Congressman Chuck Grassley sent Todd Jones a letter saying that the statement *”appears to be a threat” against potential whistle-blowers.

*Appears to be?  Appears to be?   I would love to get Zurich Mikes’ opinion on this policy implementation video from a Compliance Officer’s perspective.

** NOTE:  PRB = Public Relations Bureau   

Wow, talk about showing the professional spin. Someone actually did a great job and put together a video reflecting multiple examples of the Water-Carrying media, specifically MSNBC:

There are many administration claims that I shake my head when I hear, but this one is perhaps the worst.   It is a complete and utter fallacy to proclaim President Obama’s foreign policy has been even remotely successful.   This is just freestyle off the top of my head, but consider: 

Iran has slaughtered the freedom movement; is now almost in possession of a nuclear weapon, and is now in possession of Top Secret drone technology.   China is test launching ICBM’s from the coastal area of Los Angeles and has formed an alliance with Russia and Euro-asia, not to mention contracts with Canada for energy resources.   Vladimir Putin openly mocks and belittles President Obama in front of Global Allies.    Al-Qaeda is surging in the middle east: Yemen is gone, Egypt is under the control of the Muslim Brotherhood, Libya is controlled by radical Islamists and the al-Qaeda flag flies atop the courthouses in Tripoli and Benghazi.   North Africa is in terroristic turmoil.   Israel is isolated.   Turkey has done a 180 degree turn back to radical Islam.  al shabbab has sent operatives from North Africa into the United States via Mexico.   Obama mocks Netanyahu openly in France to Sarkozy, and France coincidently elects a Socialist.    North Korea is test firing Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, and has openly engaged heavy artillery fire against South Korea our ally, who we just signed a trade agreement with.  Coptic Christians are being killed in Egypt.   Afghanistan’s President calls our troops on their soil the scourge upon their nation.  Pakistan has become openly hostile to the West and radical Islamists now make decisions.  Chile and Brazil are drilling in the Gulf of Mexico while we refuse to explore and actually ban our own U.S interest companies to drill.   The EU has openly laughed in the face of Timothy Geithner as he attempted to influence European budget reform.  Thousands of tons of chemical and biological weapons are missing from Egypt, Libya and Syria.  At least 20,000 surface to air missiles are now in the hands of AQNA and AQAP.    300 US Marines were sent to Uganda to capture “General Kony” of the Lords Resistance Army, for what? – um, err, FAIL.  I could go on……. but  I think you get the point….. 

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama trumpeted his foreign policy record on Monday, telling a convention of veterans that his administration has spearheaded a “new era of American leadership” that has made the U.S. “safer and stronger and more respected in the world.” (more…)

The outcome from challenging the regime of Dear Leader….. 
Getting On The Enemies List – This column has already told the story of Frank VanderSloot, an Idaho businessman who last year contributed to a group supporting Mitt Romney. An Obama campaign website in April sent a message to those who’d donate to the president’s opponent. It called out Mr. VanderSloot and seven other private donors by name and occupation and slurred them as having “less-than-reputable” records.

Mr. VanderSloot has since been learning what it means to be on a presidential enemies list. Just 12 days after the attack, the Idahoan found an investigator digging to unearth his divorce records. This bloodhound—a recent employee of Senate Democrats—worked for a for-hire opposition research firm. (more…)

(Woody Woodpecker – CSM) Looking dazed and with bright orange hair, the man accused of killing 12 and wounding 58 in a shooting rampage in a Colorado theater appeared Monday in court for the first time.

James Holmes, wide-eyed and unshaven, his head bobbing slightly, appeared not to speak during the brief hearing. He will be formally charged next Monday.
Authorities say the 24-year-old former graduate student is refusing to cooperate, and it could take months to learn what prompted one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history. (more…)

Remember, 2-J’s is from Chicago. CHICAGO!  

Chicago – The same town heralded as President Obama’s hometown.   Chicago – the same city where Rahm Emanuel, President Obama’s former Chief of Staff is now Mayor.   Chicago – where guns are outlawed and have been outlawed for over 28 years.   Chicago – Where more people are killed by guns than any city in the U.S.

“The rich should pay their fair share.” 
…”when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“Nobody’s ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money.”
”The central lie here being getting rich through hard, honest work. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten rich without the determination of screwing other people out of their money.”
“Romney never created any jobs. He only created wealth for his partners. There is a big difference.”
