It’s Friday, February 20th, 2015…but before we begin, please participate in our latest poll, immediately to your right.  Next, a quick look at how the Network News covered Judge Andrew Hanen granting an injunction blocking the implementation of The Obamao’s unconstitutional executive action on immigration:

Nothing about the specifics of the judge’s findings; indeed nothing whatsoever about the law at all.  Just…

Feelings are a great guide when dealing with your spouse; they’re an impossible, in fact disastrous basis for a system of government.  In fact, it’s the worst possible…except, of course, for…

…strange women lying in ponds!  We mean, just because a watery tart threw a sword at you…; sorry, we just realized that’s too nuanced for you!

Now, here’s The Gouge!

First up, as CNSNews reports, just when you thought this farcical excuse for an Administration couldn’t do any more to threaten the homeland…

U.S. Expects to Quadruple the Number of Syrian Refugees Brought Here

 

Abdirahmaan-Muhumed

After all, the policy’s worked so well with Somalians!

“The United States has “a long tradition of welcoming refugees,” and it expects to welcome thousands more of them from Syria in 2015 and 2016, despite concerns about foreign fighters, the State Department said.

“The United States has admitted 524 Syrians since 2011. We’re likely to admit 1,000 to 2,000 Syrian refugees for permanent resettlement in Fiscal Year 2015 and a somewhat higher number, though still in the low thousands, in Fiscal Year 2016,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday.

But at a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee last week, Chairman Mike McCaul (R-Texas) said it would be a “huge mistake” to bring refugees from Syria and Turkey into the United States where they “could potentially be radicalized.” Psaki told reporters on Friday that national security “is absolutely a priority” in the decision to admit refugees…”

Which begs a question we’ve asked before, and for which PJMedia‘s Roger Simon offers a different answer:

Is Obama a Manchurian Candidate?

 

when-your-country-is-telling-you-no

“…Barack Obama is not the Manchurian candidate. That’s just an excuse. The only problem is…

He’s worse.  He’s far worse.  Barack Obama doesn’t have to be a Manchurian candidate.  He can and is doing more damage without being one.  A Manchurian candidate could be exposed (yes, and possibly could not).  Barack Obama doesn’t need that.  He and the media and the brainwashed public that elected him are destroying our country (and the West) all by themselves.  They don’t need any secret conspirators in the back room.  They’re all there in public view. And how.

Obamacare and the sabotaging of the immigration system were bad enough, but they are absolutely trivial compared to what is going on now.  We have the next thing to a jihadist in the White House.  From the inability to name Islamic terrorists as Islamic, to the failure to name Jews as the objects of homicidal anti-Semitism at a kosher market, to the complete omission of the word Christian when 21 Christians have their heads cut off (simultaneously!) for being Christian, we have in the Oval Office not only the worst president in the history of our country, we have the worst person to be president.

And now he is opening the door to a huge number of Syrian refugees, who knows how many of whom may be members of ISIS, al Qaeda or some group we haven’t even heard of yet. If I were a Christian or a Jew or even some sort of wishy-washy Muslim, I’d make sure your door was locked at night and you had exercised your Second Amendment rights…”

Advice we’ve followed but once, and that continuously!

Obama’s Brutal Foreign Policy

Left-wing realpolitik has no interest in the world beyond America’s borders.

 

Obama+doesn+t+have+time+for+your+shit+he+still+doesn+t_f27691_3763810

“…It is a mistake to think that Mr. Obama’s passivity or indecision are sufficient explanation. What is on offer here is the American left’s version of realpolitik. The decision by the Obama White House not to deploy American resources is thought-out, brutal and unapologetic.

President Obama in his Feb. 6 national-security statement explained what he is doing—or not doing. He was precise and clear:

“We have to make hard choices among many competing priorities and we must always resist the overreach that comes when we make decisions based upon fear.”

Short version: He’s not spending real money on any of this. Get over it.

There is an important difference between left-wing realpolitik and the conservative realpolitik normally associated with Henry Kissinger and Brent Scowcroft. The conservatives’ version was about making choices among competing uses of American military resources abroad. Left-wing realpolitik has no serious interest in the world beyond America’s borders(Unless it involves opposing Israel.)

The only realism the left admits to is what it sees as a U.S. beset—forever—by poverty, economic injustice and “unmet needs.” Thus Mr. Obama produces a $3.99 trillion budget to end “mindless austerity.” The world beyond this is a footnote.

We’d suggest repeating to yourself “less than 2 more years…less than 2 more years”; unfortunately, though Rome wasn’t built in a day, it fell practically overnight.

America is committing government-assisted suicide

“…Obama behaves like a dictator not just because he is a narcissist, but because his political beliefs are, at their core, authoritarian. He represents a perfect anti-American storm, the amalgamation of twin totalitarian ideologies, Marxist-Leninism and Islamic extremism, both dedicated to the destruction of Judeo-Christian civilization.

Obama cannot counter threats from abroad because he is sympathetic to them, while simultaneously pursuing domestic policies that generate economic malaise, fiscal bankruptcy, and social chaos; conditions that undermine American democracy and are the foundation of his fundamental transformation of the country.

Obama would not be a problem, nor would he even be President, if we did not have a hopelessly corrupt political-media culture…”

That about covers it!  Seriously, absent the MSM’s determined efforts to cover his sorry backside, he’d have no chance whatsoever of continuing in office a single day once he started peddling this

…load of politically-correct, Islam-inspired insanity.

He’d have been run out of town on a rail; along with his wife and entire anti-American Administration.  Which, at least in the case of Moochie, would require a mighty thick rail!

Since we’re on the subject of Islam-inspired insanity, The Washington Free Beacon reports…

Saudi Cleric: The Sun Revolves Around the Earth

“…The controversial cleric, Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari, was caught making the comments in a short video clip posted to YouTube on Monday. In response to a question posed by a student, al-Khaibari says the Earth is “stationary and does not move.”

While al-Khaibari’s remarks have been mocked on social networking sites such as Twitter, regional experts say his anti-science stance is embraced and promoted by leading Saudi clerics in charge of the country’s religious authority. “It makes perfect sense for a Saudi cleric to be arguing that the sun revolves around the Earth because this is the sort of message they are getting from on high,” according to David Weinberg, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD).

…Al-Khaibary’s lecture on astronomy took place in late January, during a government-sponsored lecture in the United Arab Emirates, according to sources provided by FDD. He has given similar lectures sponsored by the Saudi government.

In addition to promoting the notion that the Earth is stationary in space, al-Khaibary’s mentor cleric Fawzan has claimed that the Islamic State (IS) terror group is a creation of “Zionists, crusaders, and Safavids,” according to Weinberg. “That’s the sort of message that Saudi religious officials are receiving from the state’s favorite clergy,” Weinberg said…”

Further proof, as if any were needed, Islam is indeed “the religion which has produced nothing but religion”.

President Obama was quick to react to what he termed the Saudis’ misunderstanding of “settled science”, pointing out that in reality, everything, including the earth and sun, actually…
