President Obama is on vacation in Hawaii, where he was informed of a terrorist attack in Afghanistan that killed six American service members.

The attack was carried out by a suicide bomber on a motorcycle outside a U.S. military base, the largest loss of life of American troops in Afghanistan this year. The Taliban claim responsibility.

But the sobering news didn’t stop Obama from heading to the golf course, a tradition for the president as he enjoys the Hawaii climate during the holidays.

Let’s be fair to the pResident. If he had cancelled his golf game, what would you have expected him to say or do to console the families of these soldiers? I doubt that anyone really cares what Obama says. That does not mean that he does not need to be watched: his next executive order could be a hole in one.

Chinese Military Using Blinding Laser Weapons

BBQ-905 laser

by Bill Gertz

China’s military has equipped its forces with blinding laser weapons in apparent violation of an international agreement signed by Beijing.

“China has been updating its home-made blinding laser weapons in recent years to meet the needs of different combat operations,” the official military newspaperPLA Daily reported Dec. 9.

“Blinding laser weapons are primarily used to blind … targets with laser[s] in [the] short distance, or interfere [with] and damage … laser and night vision equipment,” the brief photo report stated.

A State Department official expressed concerns that the weapons appear to violate a provision of the United Nations 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons. The convention includes a 1998 Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons banning their use in combat.

Founding principles

by Wes Rhinier

Our country is in deep trouble. Wake up, Americans. Our government is stealing from us and they are stealing our children’s future! People wonder why Americans are fed up and distrust anything that politicians say. Well, this omnibus spending bill is a perfect example. They have screwed the country and we are just supposed to sit down and shut up because these fools in D.C. think they know whats best for everyone.

We need to look no further than our Founding Fathers for what to do about absolute despotism and tyranny! Thomas Jefferson said, “We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them, if we basely entail hereditary bondage upon them. We will in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverance, employ for the preservation of our liberties being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live as slaves.”

Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Papers No. 28 stated, “If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”

ISIS Recruitment Video Features Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, not Donald Trump

The idea that we are somehow responsible for Islamic terror or that we must watch what we say so as not to upset these savages is the language of a conquered people. Or a traitorous political party — the Democrats. Hillary blaming Trump will, no doubt, please her significant other, Huma.

They will blame anyone or anything rather than what it is — Islam.

Obama says he will defeat the Islamic State with a strong message. G-d help us.

Russia Will Invade The Islamic World

By Theodore Shoebat

Russia will invade the Islamic world, when it takes over Turkey and retakes the Hagia Sophia Church, and will destroy one third of the Islamic population in Turkey. After this, one third of the Muslims on in Turkey will reject Islam and convert to Christianity. This is the prophecy of the Elder Paisios, and this is what entire multitudes of Christian youths in Russia believe. I had the opportunity of interviewing one of these young zealous Christians, named Mila Odegova, to discuss the role that Russia will play in fighting Islam, and in being a major figure in advancing Christianity and combating the Islamic persecution of Christians. Mila is also very much involved in fighting the homosexual agenda in Russia, and is right now even being persecuted by the Russian government for righteously attacking a blasphemous “art” exhibit that insulted Jesus Christ. Here is the interview:

Hate Speech: The New Racism Label

DHS placing patriots on domestic terror watch lists in unlawful attempt to escalate violent interactions with police

Image result for domestic terrorist

The Department of Homeland Security is intentionally placing local law enforcement in harm’s way by knowing (and falsely) entering the license plates of patriot-oriented radio hosts in the federal “terror watch” database. The aim of this tactic is to intentionally cause escalations of high-tension interactions between local police and pro-gun patriots, knowing that local law enforcement will respond to terror watch list hits with an escalated engagement posture involving firearms being drawn and pointed at the suspects.

The DHS — obviously at the command of an anti-American Obama regime that absolutely despises both patriots and police officers — is hoping that either the patriot suspect opens fire on police or that overreacting police open fire on the patriot. Either way, this serves the agenda of the Obama regime and creates a powerful narrative that mainstream media can use to call for nationwide gun confiscation.

How do we know all this? Because Pete Santilli, the host of Off the Hook on TalkNetwork.com, was pulled over by a police officer in Cincinnatti just two days ago. His license plate was flagged by the federal “terror watch list,” causing this police officer to respond with a very aggressive, high alert stance with his primary firearm drawn and pointed at Pete and his passenger (the terrorism “suspects”).

It’s Official: Over A Trillion Dollars A Year Will Be Added To The Debt During Obama’s Presidency

America Is Broke

Under Barack Obama, the U.S. national debt has risen from $10,626,877,048,913.08 on January 20th, 2009 to $18,795,033,928,275.59 on December 21st, 2015.  That means that the debt that we are passing on to future generations has increased by 8.16 trillion dollars since Barack Obama was inaugurated.  There is still a little more than a year to go in Obama’s presidency, and it is already guaranteed that Obama will add more than a trillion dollars a year to the national debt during his presidency.  In fact, when you do the math, we are stealing more than 100 million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day.  It is a crime of a magnitude that is almost unimaginable, and at this point it is mathematically impossible for the U.S. government to pay off all of this debt.  To say that we are in trouble would be a massive understatement.

And of course not all of the blame goes to Obama.  The Republicans have had control of the House of Representatives for all but two years while Obama has been in the White House, and they have gone along with all of this reckless spending.  Without the approval of the House, Obama could not spend a single penny, but the Republicans have consistently chosen not to stand up to him.  In fact, the Republicans in Congress just approved another massive 1.2 trillion dollar spending bill that essentially gave the Democrats every single thing that they wanted.  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi even admitted that the Republicans “were willing to concede so much” during the negotiations.

So why do we even have a Republican Party?  They always just go along with pretty much whatever the Democrats want anyway.  Why shouldn’t we just disband the Republican Party and let the Democrats completely run things?  How would Washington D.C. be any different if the Republicans didn’t even exist?

At this point, even Rush Limbaugh is completely disgusted with the Republican Party…

So The Great Experiment was finished by apathetic people, political greed, incompetence and racism. Not the racism charges that were used as an excuse to silence common sense. It was racism that was the excuse for political incompetence and white guilt to steal wealth from the middle class to give to the “entitled” class for votes.

Rand Paul Chides Congress for Approving $1 Trillion Spending Bill No One Read

Rand Paul was up in arms Sunday over the fact that a massive spending bill was rushed and approved through Congress before anyone had a chance to read it.

Fox News heard Paul’s reaction on New York’s “The Cats Roundtable” radio talk show:

It was over a trillion dollars, it was all lumped together, 2,242 pages, nobody read it, so frankly my biggest complaint is that I have no idea what kind of things they stuck in that bill in the middle of the night.

I voted against it because I won’t vote for these enormous bills that no one has a chance to read.

Republicans aligned with Democrats in a 316-113 House vote approving the spending bill which President Obama happily signed into law with the blessing of new House Speaker Raul Ryan. The speaker defended his role in saying in a divided government, “you don’t get everything you want.”

Fox News states:

The final version pairs two gigantic bills: a $1.14 trillion government spending measure that will fund every Cabinet agency through September 2016, as well as a $680 billion tax package which extends dozens of breaks and making some permanent.

Remarking that this is the very reason “government is broke,” the Kentucky senator said every lawmaker in Washington is to blame:

Presenting The Stunning Difference In How Blacks And Whites Are Killed By Guns

“The gun control debate often plays out in monolithic fashion in this country,” WaPo writes, adding that “the traditional understanding is that there’s one overarching problem — gun violence — that can be addressed by a more or less uniform set of solutions: better background checks, improved technology, etc.”

However, “one shortcoming of this approach is that it elides over the sometimes drastic differences in how different populations experience gun violence and gun ownership in their lives.” WaPo goes on to present the following rather stunning chart from The Brookings Institute. As you can see, there’s a marked difference between how African Americans and whites are killed by firearms. More specifically, “among whites, 77 percent of gun deaths are suicides. But among black Americans, 82 percent of gun deaths are homicides.”

Back To Reality, by Robert Gore

This site spends little time discussing and analyzing central banks’ policies. Some of the media’s preoccupation with central banks reflects an ideological endorsement of command and control SLL does not share. There are people, mostly well-educated, who actually believe that economies with millions of producers, consumers, and businesses, engaging daily in billions of transactions, can be directed by a group of central bank bureaucrats manipulating short-term interest rates and exchanging the government’s debt for their own fiat debt.Historically Efficacious Government and Central Bank Control of Economies is an even shorter book than The Humility of Donald Trump. The titles of both are longer than the contents, but while faith in central banks waxes and wanes, it never dies. Some of the aforementioned preoccupation is journalistic and analytical laziness: it’s easier to speculate and report on central bank statements and policies than it is to determine what’s actually going on with an economy.

SLL devoted two paragraphs to the Fed’s latest move, and the thrust of those paragraphs was that markets had already marked up rates for a substantial segment of borrowers, starting about six months ago, and the Fed, as it usually does, was following the market. The Fed’s zero rate federal funds target took short terms rates lower than they would have been absent that Fed policy. Europe and Japan’s negative interest rates are an even greater distortion from free market rates. However, the global economy was burdened with more debt than it could sustain back in 2008, when the Fed kicked off the global central banks’ easy credit campaign. That excess of debt ensured that interest rates would remain low by historical standards (for the most creditworthy borrowers), whether central banks intervened or not.

Obama Stills Thinks The Race Card Works

President Obama said in a radio interview airing on Monday that Donald J. Trump, a leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination, is exploiting the resentment and anxieties of working-class men to boost his campaign. Mr. Obama also argued that some of the scorn directed at him personally stems from the fact that he is the first African-American to hold the White House.

Demographic changes and economic stresses, including “flatlining” wages and incomes, have meant that “particularly blue-collar men have had a lot of trouble in this new economy, where they are no longer getting the same bargain that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a single paycheck,” Mr. Obama said in the interview with National Public Radio.

China Tests New ICBM from Railroad Car

DF41-train / Asian Arms Control Project

by Bill Gertz

U.S. intelligence agencies recently monitored a Chinese test of a new rail car-based long-range missile capable of hitting targets throughout the United States.

The canister ejection test of a DF-41 missile from a rail-mobile launcher was detected on Dec. 5 in western China, said defense officials familiar with reports of the test.

Few details were available on the DF-41 launcher ejection test.

However, Chinese rail-based missile development has been carried out in the past at the Wuzhai missile test center, also known as the Taiyuan satellite launch center since 1982, according to declassified CIA documents. The launch site is located in China’s central Shanxi Province.

The test this month marks a significant milestone for Chinese strategic weapons developers and demonstrates that Beijing is moving ahead with building and deploying the DF-41 on difficult-to-locate rail cars, in addition to previously-known road-mobile launchers, the officials said.
