The Syrian Spillover: Lebanon (Dispatch One)
Combat between Sunnis and Shiites in the streets of Tripoli, Lebanon is escalating as the civil war bleeds over Syria's border into its smaller neighbor. Further exacerbating the conflict, Lebanon has absorbed a reported 1.5 million Syrian refugees. In the wake of a recent spate of car bombs and the tense buildup to the Geneva II convention, Vice News reporter Robert King went to Tripoli to speak with a Sunni Sheikh about how hard the conflict is hitting the Lebanese.
BHO Runs Interference for Islam Again............................from Dan Friedman
The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralizing any criticism of Islam or Muslims.
[Take as required. In Islam, deception (taqiyya) is permissible, and often encouraged, in any interaction between Muslims and unbelievers, especially Jews. Maybe that’s where Barack Hussein Obama got the idea that it’s OK to lie to America about Islam and its permanent Jihad. df]
The Quran’s words created and maintain Islamic anti-Semitism, which is so ubiquitous that even sects of Sunni and Shia Muslims who are trying to kill each other agree that Jews are to blame for their fighting – Andrew Bostom
By Neil Munro:
Experts are scoffing at President Barack Obama’s apparent belief that widespread Muslim hatred of Jews is only decades old.

Congress only wants to help...................from Rico
This idea has been 'floated' in Congress before, and they're talking about it again.
- Retirement Crisis?
Of course these mensa candidates completely ignore the real 'crisis' (that the government is insolvent, that half of Americans have no savings for retirement, that the 37.2% who are really unemployed -vice the reported 6.7%- have no jobs to save money for their retirement, and that thanks to ObamaCare the burger-flipping class is now working part-time, well...I could go on, but you get the idea), and create a PHONY 'crisis' to solve as a 'cover for action' to achieve wat they want. Money. More finely put: YOUR money.
- Whenever a politician's lips are moving, no matter what he/she may seem to be saying, what they are actually talking aout is money. Your money.
IF you have faith and trust in the integrity, lawfulness, and intelligence of Congress stop reading right here. Do not go further.
On the other hand, if you have a view of these parasites that is even remotely close to Mark Twain's*, you had best start paying attention. Sure, they will make it sound boring and benign. It won't be, at least if you have any retirement money and/or plans for that money.
- So do they. They want it.
There is one remaining pool of untapped cash left in America. Retirement money. Pension funds, IRA's, etc are sitting on top of a huge pile of money. Money that a spendthrift Congress wants, but first needs to get its hands on.
- Like pigs rooting for truffles, so are Congress-critters rooting for cash to spend.
In simple terms, their 'plan' is this: They will do for retirement what they just did for Thomas Edison's light bulb, namely put it out.
- They will trade you "safe bonds" [read: worthless paper IOU's] in exchange for your retirement money. Of course this is to 'protect you from your own money'....for your own good, of course. "Trust me, I'm from the Government, and I'm here to: [insert as needed - help you; save you; look after you]."
*Mark Twain said it best, and it is more true today than it ever was:
"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the Congress is in session."

Beheadings & Bombings: A Stroll Thru Bklyn.........................from Dan Friedman
FrontPage, January 16, 2014
By Daniel Greenfield
Walk along Church Avenue and turn east onto McDonald Avenue and you will see where the old standards of working class Brooklyn, aging homes with faded American flags and loose siding, surly bars tucked into the shadows of street corners and the last video stores hanging on to a dying industry give way to mosques and grocery stores selling goat meat.
Mosques grow like mushrooms in basements, cell phone stores offer easy ways to wire money back to Bangladesh and old men glare at interlopers, especially if they are infidel women.
This is where Mohammed Siddiquee settled a dispute the old-fashioned way by beheading his landlord.

Falling Obama (SWF) H/T Bob C
Obama's State of the Union Speech Will Be All Lies
By Alan Caruba
On January 28, the President of the United States will stand before a joint session of Congress and lie to them and to all Americans.
The mainstream media will treat it as a serious presentation and make no mention of the lies.
Following the State of the Union speech (SOTU) there will be a formal response by a Republican spokesman. It will be very polite and not likely to strongly expose the lies and oppose the President.
The “low information” Americans will take Barack Obama at his word. Nearly half of all Americans who might listen to the speech or read about it are on some form of government dole or entitlement program. They are interested in food stamps, unemployment compensation, their disability status, and an older generation will understandably want to ensure their Social Security checks keep coming and Medicare will continue to underwrite their medical costs.
Whatever Obama has to say about the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare—will be a lie. His administration continues to lie about the number of those who have enrolled, but we know they are mostly the elderly while the younger generation wisely avoids it.
We live in a nation where more than 90 million Americans are out of work, cannot find work, or have given up looking for work. Anything Obama has to say about the economy will be a lie.
When Obama gives his speech, the total population of America will be 317,490,000 people. It is the third-most populous nation in the world with 82% residing in cities in suburbs as of 2011. Anyone who has driven throughout the nation knows that much of it is nearly uninhabited. A mere 2% of the population are the farmers and ranchers who feed the rest of us.
The two most populous states are California and Texas. New York City has the largest population of the nation’s cities. It just elected a Communist as its new mayor. He has announced he intends to raise taxes.
There are an estimated eleven million illegal aliens living in America and The New York Times reports that number may be growing. Previous efforts at amnesty resulted in not only endowing them with citizenship but their entire families, many of whom joined them from their home nations. At a time of high unemployment among natural born and naturalized citizens, increasing the population in this fashion will only add to the economic problems the slowest recovery in decades represents. In Congress Democrats favor an amnesty. Republicans are unsure of whether to oppose or accept it.
In addition to amnesty, the President will no doubt make some mention of tax reform. The reform the nation needs is the elimination of the income tax in favor of a fair tax based on consumption of products and services. You buy it. You pay a national sales tax.
No doubt the President will make some reference to gun control. He has been unable to get any legislation about it and has relied on executive orders to impose limits on the Second Amendment. Meanwhile, Americans are buying guns like crazy. It’s about self-defense and the prospect of a President who may not want to leave office. He will cite the Newtown slayings, but mass slayings in America have not increased in decades. It is not common, though it is always tragic.
It’s hard to predict how much time Obama will devote to “climate change”, but this greatest hoax of the modern era is very dear to him and the Democrats in Congress. A group of them are signing a letter to be sent to the heads of the network channels urging them to devote more airtime to lies about how carbon dioxide is causing the Earth to warm and poses a huge threat. The Earth, meanwhile, has been in a cooling cycle for seventeen years and many Americans recently experienced record-setting cold weather. More of them—though only about 23%--are beginning to express doubts about global warming. Duh!
The climate change agenda is being pursued outrageously by Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency which is issuing regulations intended to continue shutting down existing coal-fired plants that generate electricity and keep new ones from being built. It is a direct attack on the nation’s economy which depends on electricity. Whatever Obama says about it will be a lie.
No doubt he will make reference to his latest scam, income inequality. If there is one thing communists love it is class warfare. The best way to reduce income inequality is well known. It is a thriving economy that provides more jobs and higher pay. Meanwhile, there may be a passing reference to increasing the minimum wage, a great way to deny entry-level jobs to young workers and increase the cost of everything else to the consumer.
Obama is not likely to have much to say about foreign affairs. In general he has managed to reduce America’s role as an international leader for democracy, justice and human rights. We are running out of allies, especially in the Middle East where Israel, Jordan, and a few Gulf states remain friendly.
When I was a young man coming of age in the 1950s I could never imagine living in a nation whose moral structure was such that a million unborn children are killed every year by abortion. I would never have believed that some 40% of women would choose to be single mothers. Or that the divorce rate would reach 50% and more. I could never imagine young men and women graduating from college with huge debts in an economy where jobs were not only fewer, but subject to an Obamacare law that forces businesses to cut the number of hours they work, limiting their earning capacity.
This is not an America I envisioned, but it is one that Presidents and Congresses since the Great Depression of the 1930s whose government they have expanded to the point where many Americans regard Big Government as the biggest problem facing the nation. They’re right.

Jay Leno...........................
Now that he's a short timer, Jay does not feel constrained to stay within the network guidelines of "no Obama criticism and staying politically correct" -- what a breath of fresh air!
"I was going to start off tonight with an Obama joke, but I don't want to get audited by the IRS."
On NSA surveillance: "We wanted a president who listens to all Americans - now we have one."
On a new IRS commissioner: "He's called 'acting commissioner' because he has to act like the scandal doesn't involve the White House."
On closing the Guantanamo prison for terrorists: "If he really wants to close it, turn it into a government-funded solar power company. The doors will be shut in a month."
Concerning the Benghazi , Associated Press, and IRS scandals: "Remember in the old days when President Obama's biggest embarrassment was Joe Biden?"
On Obama saying he didn't know about the IRS scandal: "He was too busy not knowing anything about Benghazi to not know anything about the IRS."
"The White House has a new slogan about Benghazi: Hope and change the subject."
"It's casual Friday, which means that at the White House, they're casually going through everybody's phone calls and records."
"It is not looking good for President Obama. Today his teleprompter took the fifth."
"Fox News has changed its slogan from 'Fair and Balanced' to 'See, I told you so!'"
On Obama's commencement address: "He told the young graduates their future is bright unless, of course, they want jobs."
On a Chicago man who set a record for riding a Ferris wheel: "The only other way to go around and around in a circle that many times is to read the official report on Benghazi ."
On White House claims of ignorance on the scandals: "They took 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' out of the Pentagon and moved it into the White House."
Now the last, and I think best!—
"These White House scandals are not going away anytime soon. It's gotten so bad that People in Kenya are now saying he's 100 percent American."
