How dare he.  Just, well, how dare he.  That’s the takeaway sense you get when you review the New York Times framing of a two hour ‘on-the-record’ interview with Donald Trump referencing a world-view and foreign policy outlook.
It is refreshing, and it is bizarre we can even use the word “refreshing“, to see an American candidate for the American Presidency, say their goal is to actually put America-first in all policy decisions.
It’s not protectionism, it’s patriotism.
It’s not isolationism, it’s common sense.
Almost all of Europe and most of Asia are capable of spending Trillions of dollars on their infrastructure, Airports, bullet-trains, high-speed rail, bridges, ‘Chunnels’, and the list goes on…. quite simply because they don’t spend much on their own national defense, and prefer to hide behind our military apron when needed.
To pay for this enomorus international military/police force, and overly generous commitment, we, in turn, put ourselves into debt and can’t spend on our own domestic needs.   This is not international economic theory, it’s a reality – and for the first time in decades a politician is saying enough is enough.   Charity begins at home!

ONGOING – Multiple terrorists have conducted several attacks in Jakarta Indonesia.  Explosives and automatic weapons bring about speculation of similarity to the Paris ISIS attacks.  The attacks are near government buildings and heavily used shopping venues.

(Via Daily Mail ) A series of explosions have rocked the Indonesia capital of Jakarta as police say they suspect a suicide bomber was responsible for at least one of the blasts.

Police say suspects were seen throwing grenades from their motorbikes before the bomb blasts, the ABC reported. (more…)

Sweden is now openly admitting their efforts to open the doors to Muslim refugees has resulted resulted in complete chaos.  Street gangs, lawlessness, anarchy, massive horrific crime increases including widespread and frequent gang rapes.

Two stories.  The first shares the current disposition and decision to immediately stop the influx of the Islamic horde.  The second story shows how horrific the scope of recent crime “Rapes – Acquittals – Severed Heads“:

MALMO, Sweden — When the small, crumpled body of 3-year-old Alan Kurdi washed up on the Aegean coast Sept. 2, Europe’s humanitarian superpower sprang into action.

Sweden’s prime minister headlined gala fundraisers, Swedish celebrities starred in telethons, and a country that prides itself on doing the right thing seemed to rally as one to embrace refugees fleeing for their lives. (more…)

There are numerous pundits and political followers who are quite upset about President Obama’s news conference in Turkey where he stated his ISIS strategy “is working”.

An example of the punditry proclamations can be encapsulated within this commentary of CNN contributors as outlined by NewsBusters:

On Monday, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and two of her network’s analysts blasted President Obama moments after he ended a press conference where he defended his anti-ISIS strategy. Amanpour underlined that Obama “something that was pretty incredible…that our strategy is working. People do not believe that to be the case. The only strategy that’s working is the strategy that he tends to dismiss — and that’s the ground troop strategy.

Sinjar, Tikrit, Kobani — those are the only ISIS strongholds that have been taken back by a combination of American intelligence and air power, and local ground forces.” (video at link)

Indeed, if you were to google search the various media reports about President Obama’s delivered position almost all of them reflect a similar sentiment.  Media scratching their heads and twisting into pretzel contortions wondering why Obama continues to proclaim his ISIS strategy is a success.

The only video needed to fully understand what’s going on in Europe:

“The Rivkin Project”

A recent article at Real Clear Politics hits on one of the key aspects of the Benghazi fiasco that recent media are hell-bent on hiding; Hillary Clinton, not President Obama, is actually the person responsible for the crisis in Libya.

Watching the House Select Committee on Benghazi hearings, it was interesting to note how no-one really went ‘there’ to give Clinton full ownership of the 2011 Libyan Intervention.  So let’s review Clinton’s ownership.

It’s as if both congress and the media have forgotten those ridiculous 19-days in 2011 when Hillary was flying back-and-forth to meet with French Prime-Minister Sarkozy and plan their endeavors.

In the U.S. presidential adviser Samantha Power was  bending Obama’s ear with declarations of a “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) the Eastern Libyan citizens from the boogie man narrative assigned to Gadaffi.

Meanwhile in New York,  U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was answering calls from her British and French counterparts who were similarly selling an interventionist message.  Back in the White House, President Obama was reluctant to engage.  It was Secretary Clinton working overtime to bring the President into the same line of thinking as herself. (more…)

Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear before congress and testify before the House Select Committee on Benghazi this week.  Everything about this hearing is a total sham.

♦ When we first completed the 11,000 word research paper in 2013 called “The Benghazi Brief”, and against a considerable backlash, we shared an unfortunate reality/prediction.  Nothing about what led up to the attack would ever be discussed in public.

♦ In August of 2014, upon completion of the updated Benghazi Brief, we stated that Congressman Trey Gowdy would never be allowed to publicly divulge the back-story of what led to the September 11th, 2012, attacks.

Prepare yourselves for profound disappointment next week, because nothing about either of these two statements has changed.  Nothing has transpired over the past two plus years to change anything – They have built a Potemkin Village, that must be maintained at all costs.

THE PUBLIC AIRING OF WHAT TOOK PLACE BETWEEN February 2011 and September 2012 will never happen because the risk(s) do not solely attach to Hillary Clinton, The White House, The State Department or the CIA.  The risk attaches to Republicans and Democrats alike who authorized the covert joint State Dept./CIA mission.

President Obama authorized two Presidential Finding Memos granting the State Department and CIA joint authorization for engagement in Libya and later in Syria.  The Congressional Gang of Eight held oversight for both operations: (more…)

Our favorite ideological cabinet member appeared on CBS this morning replete with new linguistic skills.  Listen to question at 01:58, and within the answer: “de-conflict” … it reappears a few minutes later in another retort.

The article conjures up images of Kerry and Obama playing the roles of Herve Villechaize and Ricardo Montalban waiting for the planes to arrive on Fantasy Island…. “Da Plane, Da plane”!

(Via NBC) The U.S. is offering new details about its plan to ease the Syrian refugee crisis by significantly increasing the number of worldwide refugees it will take in over the next two years.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. will accept 85,000 refugees from around the world next year, up from 70,000, and the number will rise to 100,000 in 2017. (more…)

We continue to put “refugees” in quotation marks because there’s nothing evidenced to denote or affirm the migrating masses qualify for such descriptions. Most of the migrating mass appear to be just seeking a better, more upgraded, neighborhood/lifestyle – that’s not the definition of what a “refugee” is; that’s just political opportunism.
However, French President Francios Hollande is exemplifying the leftist mindset. Again, it’s important to remember the U.S. State Department Charles Rivkin project was specifically targeted toward France for this very purpose; it’s working.  We cannot emphasize enough how important it is to understand “The Rivkin Project“.


(Via Reuters) France is ready to take in 24,000 refugees as part of European Union plans to welcome more than 100,000 in the next two years, French President Francois Hollande said on Monday, dismissing opinion polls showing public opposition to the move.
Hollande said he and German leader Angela Merkel wanted the 28-country EU to back a “permanent, mandatory system” under which each country would be obliged to take its fair share of a total of 120,000 migrants.
“This is a crisis, and it is a grave and dramatic one. It can be brought under control and it will be,” he told a news conference. (more…)
