It is not as if AIPAC won’t live to fight again, because it will, but this defeat has ruptured the status quo, possibly forever.</b><br /><br />The extent of its efforts to defeat the deal was unprecedented even for a lobby known for its no-holds-barred wars against past White House initiatives it considered unfriendly to Israel, going all the way back to the Ford administration. AIPAC, and its cutout Citizens For A Nuclear Free Iran, reportedly budgeted upwards of $20 million for a campaign that included flooding the airwaves with television spots; buying full-page newspaper ads, arranging fly-ins of AIPAC members to Washington, organizing demonstrations at offices of AIPAC-friendly members of Congress who were believed to be wavering, and ensuring that problematic legislators were officially warned by precisely the right donor. Rank-and-file AIPAC members were largely irrelevant to the process. Money did the talking, and also the yelling and the cursing when necessary. <br /><br />As one congressional staffer put it to me,<i><b> “Taking money from AIPAC is like getting a loan from the mob.

O...How Obama’s Nuke Deal Leads to the Next Iraq War<br />Obama’s original Iraq treason led to his Iran treason today.<br />September 11, 2015<br />Daniel Greenfield<br /><br /><br />Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.<br /><br />In his sales pitch for the nuclear deal with Iran that even he admitted gives the terrorist regime a near zero breakout time to the bomb, Obama pulled out every conceivable stop. He even accused opponents of trying to get the country into a war with Iran just as they had “brought the country” into the Iraq War.<br /><br />But Obama was responsible for the rise of ISIS and his deal with Iran sets the stage for the next Iraq War. His original Iraq treason led to his Iran treason today.<br /><br />To understand why that is, it’s important to realize how we got here.<br /><br />Obama campaigned on a rapid withdrawal from Iraq. As with so much else, he lied. But his plan for a rapid withdrawal did win an endorsement from one key ally. Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki backed Obama’s push for a swift withdrawal, stating that American soldiers should leave “as soon as possible.”<br /><br />Maliki was Iran’s man in Baghdad who had been picked by Qasem Soleimani of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IRGC had conducted the Shiite terror campaign against American soldiers in Iraq. Maliki’s endorsement of Obama meant an endorsement from the godfather of Iran’s terror machine whose IEDs were responsible for the murder of over 500 American soldiers.<br /><br />In exchange for backing Maliki, the Iranian terror boss had demanded that the Iraqi leader get all American soldiers out of the country. Obama’s proposal for Iraq was really Iran’s proposal for Iraq.<br /><br />Soleimani and Maliki both wanted Americans out so that Iran could advance the Shiite takeover of Iraq.<br /><br />While Obama had no say during Maliki’s first government, he made sure that Iran’s puppet would get a second government. Ayad Allawi, the former interim Prime Minister, stated that Biden told him to drop his bid. Allawi claimed that the administration wanted to keep Maliki in power so as not to upset Iran.<br /><br />"They wanted to leave, and they handed the country to the Iranians," Allawi said.<br /><br />Handing over Iraq to Iran had been a key part of Obama’s plan.....................<br /><br />................ The next Iraq War may already be here. When it drags in our soldiers, it will be because Obama’s Iraq policy continues driving a civil war by favoring Iran over Iraq’s Sunnis. The nuclear deal gave Obama the opportunity to avert that war by sending a clear message to Iran. Instead Obama sent up a white flag.<br /><br />The current phase of the war in Iraq was caused by Obama’s original Iranian political solution. The next phase of the war will be caused by the fallout from his latest dirty deal with Iran.<br /><br />http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260070/how-obamas-nuke-deal-leads-next-iraq-war-daniel-greenfield<br /><br /><br /><i>But Obama was responsible for the rise of ISIS and his deal with Iran sets the stage for the next Iraq War.

According to new data der...<b>Summary of Key Findings</b><br /><br />According to new data derived from the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS),<br />median annual household income in July 2015 was $55,218. The July 2015 median was<br />not statistically different than the June 2015 median ($55,204). The Sentier Household<br />Income Index for July 2015 was 96.2 (January 2000 = 100).<br />These findings come from a report issued today by Sentier Research, titled “Household<br />Income Trends: July 2015,” which presents monthly trends in household income from<br />January 2000 to July 2015.<br />The lack of change in median annual household income in July still leaves the median<br />significantly higher than the low point in our household income series that occurred in<br />August 2011. <b>Median income in July 2015 ($55,218) was 2.0 percent higher than in July<br />2014 ($54,120), and 6.5 percent higher than in August 2011 ($51,872).</b> The period since<br />August 2011 has been marked by an uneven, but generally upward trend in the level of<br />real median annual household income. Many of the month-to-month changes in median<br />income during this period have not been statistically significant. However, the cumulative<br />effect of the various month-to-month changes since August 2011 resulted in the income<br />improvement noted above. (See Figure 1 at the back of this report.)<br />According to Gordon Green of Sentier Research, “Although median annual household<br />income did not change significantly in July, we continue to see a general upward trend in<br />income since the low-point reached in August 2011. Our time series charts clearly<br />illustrate that although the economic recovery officially began in June 2009, the recovery<br />in household income did not begin to emerge until after August 2011.”<br /><br /><i>What this release does not make clear is that these amounts are in inflation-adjusted dollars (constant to July, 2015.)</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.sentierresearch.com/pressreleases/Sentier_Household_Income_Trends_Press_Release_July2015_09_11_15.pdf" rel="nofollow">Press Release</a>galopn2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10149969176825932175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-70757408646655466852015-09-11T14:15:48.064-04:002015-09-11T14:15:48.064-04:00Deficit continues to fall.

You sir are nutz. He was wrong about everything.<br /><br /><i> Israeli PM Binyamin “Chicken Little” Netanyahu tried to scaremonger about Iraq in 2002, as his contribution to the Anglo-American war of aggression on that country. “there is no question whatsoever,” Netanyahu said, “that Saddam” was seeking nuclear weapons. He said that Israeli intelligence reported to him that Russian scientists and North Korea were on site and actively aiding this phantom nuclear weapons program.<br /><br />There was no Iraqi nuclear weapons program in 2002; it was dismantled in the early 1990s by United Nations inspectors. There were none of the chemical or biological weapons Netanyahu spoke of. No Russians. No North Koreans. Bupkes.<br /><br />h/t Washington’s blog<br /><br />Netanyahu also warned that Iraq would give nuclear warheads (which it did not have) to “terrorist groups.”<br /><br />He also argued that no inspections could possibly find “mobile weapons sites” (which are impossible), implying that invasion and occupation was the only course open.<br /><br />Netanyahu proved that neither he nor the Israeli intelligence organization, Mossad, had the slightest actual intelligence on Iraq, and that neither should be trusted to provide such intelligence to the US. Clearly, some right wing Israeli leaders always want the US entangled in regional wars in the Middle East, insofar as they are seeking US support in a hostile region.

Investor’s Business Daily editorializes:<br /><br /> ObamaCare enrollment has fallen sharply since March, and that's before consumers confront huge rate hikes for 2016. These are not the signs of a successful program.<br /><br /> In its latest enrollment report, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says 9.9 million were still enrolled in ObamaCare exchange plans.<br /><br /> That's almost 2 million fewer than the administration claimed in the spring, when it bragged that 11.7 million had signed up, and way below the Congressional Budget Office's earlier forecast of 13 million.<br /><br />And if this year is anything like last year, that 9.9 million will dwindle further as the year goes on.<br /><br />This turkey of a program costs more and delivers less than promised when it was passed without a single Republican vote.

Pfeiffer used to be President Obama’s top communications aide. The title of his op-ed was “Stop the bed-wetting: Hillary Clinton’s doing fine.” Bed-wetting, Pfeiffer explained, “is a term of art in Obamaland.” Ah, the president and his acolytes. Such sophisticates.<br /><br />Clinton shouldn’t panic, Pfeiffer argued, because she remains ahead in polling and in fundraising, because Bernie Sanders “is not Barack Obama,” and because “Hillary Clinton circa 2015 is not Hillary Clinton circa 2008.” Elections, after all, “are about fundamentals,” and “the fundamentals point to a decisive if hard fought victory for Clinton.” Of course, “A lot can change in the coming months.”<br /><br />No kidding. As we enter the fall campaign season, Pfeiffer’s case seems laughably self-assured and unpersuasive. Now is precisely the time for Clinton and her team to wet the bed—indeed, they may already be doing so.<br /><br />Polling? Recent surveys have Sanders beating Clinton not only in New Hampshire, which borders his home state of Vermont, but also in Iowa, where the Daily Mail notes that Clinton has dropped 12 points in just two months. Support for Clinton nationally has been on a downward trajectory ever since she launched her campaign in April. She spent $2 million on television ads in August—and her numbers fell.<br /><br />This week’s Monmouth poll has Joe Biden, who hasn’t decided to run, with the best positive rating of the Democratic candidates. He comes in second to Clinton in the horse race, with large numbers of Democrats saying they’d switch to him if he announces his campaign. “A Biden candidacy would be substantially worse for Clinton than Sanders,” observes the Washington Post..............<br /><br />http://freebeacon.com/columns/time-to-wet-the-bed/<br /><br /><br />When you're down to Drinkin' Joe Biden, plagiarist, to pull your spuds out of the fire, you have no lower to go....Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-71074270612082481372015-09-11T12:06:27.441-04:002015-09-11T12:06:27.441-04:00I advocate defending ourselves.I advocate defending ourselves.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-65310774321039596682015-09-11T11:09:04.347-04:002015-09-11T11:09:04.347-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/02054075097495500689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-320098526787709132015-09-11T11:08:13.436-04:002015-09-11T11:08:13.436-04:00Bibi was spot on.
