Meanwhile today, while everyone is looking at the “shiny refugee thing”, the Obama administration files an appeal for review of the Hanen DAPA injunction to the Supreme Court…

DAPA or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program – is the executive action Obama attempted in November of 2014 which was shut down by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in February ’15 with the issuance of an emergency injunction.

It was the “injunction” blocking the administration which was appealed to the 5th CCA the first time. The White House lost the first appeal, and had two options: (more…)

The ever-shrinking group of democrats who are not far left-wing moonbats, are increasingly frustrated by the structural advantages embedded within the DNC control over Hillary Clinton’s anointment.    By design the CBS debate yesterday only drew 8 million viewers.

The DNC set up limited debates and scheduled them to coordinate with other national events that intentionally diminish viewership.   With the terrible ratings last night, a growing frustration bubbles again:

WASHINGTON […]  “Look, there was a clear intent to bury these debates to the benefit of Clinton,” said another Democratic campaign official on Sunday afternoon. “And it is doing a disservice to the Democratic Party. The GOP is blowing out numbers — and we are protecting Hillary Clinton.”

Both of the last two Republican debates were held on smaller networks than CBS — CNBC and Fox Business — and they got over 13 million viewers. The first two Republican debates — on CNN and Fox News — each broke 20 million. (more…)

The White House Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes was on Fox News Sunday today.  One of the topics discussed was importing more Syrian refugees:

Video Prompted to [@02:19] Wallace “One of the attackers in the French slaughter was carrying a Syrian passport that seemed to indicate that he had been a refugee that had come into Europe along with the flood of migrants in October. Given that, is President Obama reconsidering the plan to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next year?”

Rhodes: “No, Chris, we’re still planning to take in Syrian refugees,we have very robust vetting procedures for those refugees.”

As this meeting takes place – France begins leveling Raqqa, for all intents and purposes the HQ, Capital of ISIS operations and the Islamic Caliphate.

UPDATE: So far 30 airstrikes have pounded #ISIS stronghold of #Raqqa. No end in sight.

Readers here will note the geopolitical partnership with President Obama and President Erdogan is based on their mutual friendship, very close friendship, and common ideological world view.

The mostly secular Muslim nation of Egypt took control (through general Fattah El-Sisi) of their nation and dispatched the Muslim Brotherhood (the political outreach division of ISIS).  Several key leaders of the Brotherhood were exiled, they sought safety in Qatar. Jordan, Bahrain, and Saudi-Arabia eventually joined with Egypt and pressured Qatar to stop being a safe-haven for the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension ISIS.

Exiled yet again the five primary leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist network found a home in Turkey – where they remain today.

By action, not words, Recep Erdogan has shown he is in alignment with the Brotherhood, and their military apparatus that is now ISIS. Erdogan, head of a NATO nation, refused to allow NATO operations to launch in defense of the Syrian and Iraqi Kurds.

Erdogan refused to allow or assist coalition rescue operations to save the Yazidi people in Northern Iraq. Erdogan also strenuously and violently blocked any assistance from reaching Kurds during the siege of Kobane (Kobani).

This is the factually accurate and historic backdrop for the following: (more…)

The second Democrat Presidential debate starts at 9:00pm Eastern.  It is available via CBS LiveSTREAM HERE  Unlike the CNN debate, CBS has carefully constructed their debate format and provided each of the presidential candidates with a preview of questions to be asked by debate moderators.

However, in the final hours a request to spend more time discussing terror and foreign policy, as a result of the Paris attack,  was turned down by the Bernie Sanders campaign.

If you are watching the debate on CBS share your opinion in the comments section below.

No, nothing to see here folks…. nothing at all.  Move along, move along…. Pay no attention to the planning and strategy session.

(Via Politico) This Saturday’s second Democratic debate will be a much smaller affair than the first. With only three candidates on stage, CBS News plans to delve deep into the issues with each candidate and have taken advantage of the smaller pool by doing some intense research.

Moderator John Dickerson and his team met with each of the campaigns for more than an hour to discuss the major issues at play in the race, sources on the campaigns said, describing the pre-interview as “informational in nature.” Dickerson is not giving candidates previews of his questions for the debate.

Prior to the CNN debate, the campaigns said moderator Anderson Cooper did not reach out directly to them before the candidates took the stage. (more…)

(Via Fox News) The first column I wrote on the Mizzou controversy analyzed the allegations and pointed out that firing a president had zero connection to any of the allegations or the demands for the protesters.

In that column I accepted the protester’s allegations as true. But as the week has gone on and the protesters have been exposed as anti-first amendment, selectively racist, and, last night, willing to perpetrate actual lies to get more attention, isn’t it time to examine whether these incidents are actually real?

The currently considered TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) trade deal has the potential to be the fulcrum under every plank in the 2016 presidential election. Many people view immigration as the #1 concern underlying further economic issues – however, few people recognize that immigration is actually part of the TPP construct.

You can learn more about TPP in summary form HERE and HERE

So lets take this conversation back to where it belongs, at the point where massive money intersects with consequential presidential politics.

Globalists, via Wall Street international financiers, are determined to get TPP passed into law.  Only a few of the GOP candidates stand in the way; and off those few only one serious candidate is a risk to their objectives.   Candidate Donald Trump is the primary roadblock to the current globalist goals…. And as such, they support Marco Rubio. (more…)

… then quizzically poses the question, ‘gee, I wonder why’; to wit Don Mattingly in drag, aka Rachel Maddow, opines about structural advantages created by those pesky and brilliantly strategic republicans.

Yes, this is what they tell themselves – it’s never palatable to conceive the electorate are just sick and tired of Moonbat policies that always fail yet continue to return like the Phoenix from the ashes of retread socialism only to be tried yet again…
