Mark Steyn was on Greta Van Sustern last night and delivered one of the more resoundingly common sense recaps of the entire days’ media and political insanity:
Mark Steyn website here – The last segment where Steyn points out the nonsense from the Obama administration is 100% spot on. Unfortunately, almost every GOP candidate pounced into the furor surrounding Trump’s profoundly reasonable proposition.
The issue boils down to: (more…)
Wow – Now we know why the GOPe is in full blown panic mode. The results from the latest WMUR/CNN Poll in New Hampshire (full pdf below) shows support for Ben Carson has fully collapsed, and Ted Cruz drops below John Kasich…. But it gets much, much worse for the establishment candidates.
The GOPe road map has totally collapsed in New Hampshire. All of the GOPe splitters are now left picking leftover scraps from those voters who are in the undecideds:
Trump has forced upon the GOPe the absolute nightmare scenario – “the splitters are splitting upon themselves”. Rubio, Bush and Christie combined cannot beat Donald Trump’s current level of support.
The millions spent by Team Kasich have garnered him a grand total of 7%; and the tens of millions spent by Jeb Bush only get him to 8%. The granite state electorate are fully engaged and they are seeing through the GOPe establishment schemes.
The New Hampshire voters are also seeing through the convenient flip-flops of Cruz and have identified the reality of Carson’s inability. (more…)
However, once you get beyond the trained instinct of hysteria, and focus on the substantive request, to: “shutdown Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on” – it actually makes a great deal of sense.
Such a position is really not the least bit controversial, and that’s exactly what makes it so brilliant on many levels.
Of course, if you are not willing to accept the concept of Islamic Jihad – and/or if you are unwilling to accept that Islamic Terrorists have been targeting us for the past decade – well, in that instance Trump’s position might seem controversial. However, for the rest of us, it makes a great deal of sense. (more…)
The FBI said earlier Monday it believes both suspects in last week’s attack in San Bernardino, were radicalized before carrying out the mass shooting. “We have learned and believe that both subjects were radicalized and have been for quite some time,” said David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles:
In addition, information has surfaced about a significant amount of money being deposited into their bank account:
A $28,500 DEPOSIT was made to Syed Farook’s bank account from WebBank.com on or about Nov.18, some two weeks before he and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the San Bernardino massacre, a source close to the investigation tells Fox News.
[…] On or about Nov.20, Fox News is told Farook converted $10,000 to cash, and withdrew the money at a Union Bank branch in San Bernardino. Afterwards, in the days before the shooting, there were at least three transfers of $5,000 that appear to be to Farook’s mother.
The loan and large cash withdrawal were described to Fox News by the source as “significant evidence of pre-meditation,” and further undercut the premise that an argument at the Christmas party on Dec. 2 led to the shooting (read more)
Earlier today Presidential Candidate Donald Trump proposed a “freeze” on Muslim Immigration entry while national security and lawmakers evaluate current terrorist threats. The crowd in South Carolina approves:

Hey, wait a minute… Déjà vu all over again? LOL – Didn’t we write that exact headline a month ago? Why, yes, yes actually we did. And yes, actually it was written for the exact same reason. – SEE HERE
The exact same pollster “Patrick Murray“, with the exact same polling outfit “Monmouth University”, who conducted the only previous poll to showcase a “surging Ben Carson”, at the exact same time frame (week before debate), who did this twice, has published another, well, almost identical poll, this time for Ted Cruz. Strong in the fail is Mr. Murray.
Now, to fully understand how agenda-driven this pollster is you have to consider: Not only did Mr. Murray present the ONLY poll showing Ben Carson surging in South Carolina, but he’s also the ONLY pollster to previously show Ben Carson with a massive lead in Iowa.
But wait, it gets better. Murray also presented each of his prior agenda-polls, at the exact same moment in time: One week before GOP debate #2, and one week before GOP debate #3. Noticing a pattern?
“yer, outta here like a fat kid in dodge ball”.
This was soooo entirely predictable that a few days ago I told a good cyber friend of the Tree House, who is a great advocate for Ted Cruz, to expect Mr. Murray to work the media narrative on behalf of the political machine. Yes, we told him to specifically expect this poll today, specifically from this pollster, and specifically with this outcome. (more…)
When someone can encapsulate the insufferable stupidity of a political presentation, and simultaneously eviscerate political parseltongue it deserves to be watched.
Michael Weiss watched President Obama’s oval office speech and then in two and a half minutes thoroughly obliterates it. This is not just deconstructing a position – this is epic obliteration of a opponent’s argument. This is simply must see TV:

Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. Hell, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons” simultaneously.
Today CBS aired a Friday interview with Donald Trump. There are two videos of the interview below; the first is the interview segment as it aired on CBS broadcast, the second is the full 17+ minute “extended cut” interview.
Candidate Donald Trump absolutely nails these interviews: “Vigilance”

The “Ziiggii Theory”: The motive for the San Bernadino attack was overall terrorist Islamic Jihad. However, the specific motive for the location, timing, venue, etc was to record a massacre upon a CHRISTmas celebration. The attack was important, but the ‘recording of‘ the massacre was the goal.
If accurate, the recording of people slaughtered on U.S. soil, an identified Christian Nation, amid the backdrop of Christmas would then be propaganda used in this Christmas season to embed terror threats, inspire jihad and give a boost to the larger Islamic objectives against Christianity. The San Bernadino massacre was jihad, but the recording was the more valuable goal.
This theory is further supported today within a LA Times Article:
… […] “Authorities now believe Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were inspired by militant appeals on the Internet to attack a holiday party”…. (link)
While the LA Times uses the progressive/PC word “holiday”, to the larger world everyone knows this to be Christmas. (more…)
