Hungarian Prime Minister Warns of Islam’s History, the “Ottoman Experience” - Prime
Minister Orban is the only European leader who is talking straight. Orban said
the history of Ottoman rule meant Hungarians would not accept large-scale
Muslim immigration, a point made recently by neighboring Slovakia. Prime Minister Orban said Hungary has already
experienced this invasion before citing Hungary’s 150 year history under
Ottoman Muslim rule. “We don’t want to, and I think we have a right to decide
that we do not want a large number of Muslim people in our country,” Orban
said. “We do not like the consequences of having a large number of Muslim
communities that we see in other countries, and I do not see any reason for
anyone else to force us to create ways of living together in Hungary...Read

Actress
Emma Thompson: Britain is RACIST for not taking in more refugees - The Hollywood actress says that the UK is not taking in
more refugees from Europe because Britain is racist. Ms. Thompson, Islam is not
a race. But this kind of incendiary rhetoric
is not surprising coming from Emma Thompson, a vicious antisemite, who has publicly
called
for the boycott of the Jews. She is virulently anti-Israel, the only
democracy in the Middle East, but curiously silent on the creed apartheid,
gender apartheid, oppression, subjugation, and slaughter of non-Muslims and
religious minorities in Muslim countries. Apparently
she wants more of it — in the UK.
She publicly called
on London’s Globe Theater to cancel its invitation to the Israeli theatre
company Habima to take part in a Shakespeare Festival,...Read

police to confiscate cars of ‘poorly veiled’ women - Obama could have used his negotiations with Iran to demand
improvements in the treatment of women, non-Muslims, gays, etc. He squandered
the opportunity. The Iranians didn’t give up anything — he just gave them
everything they wanted. “Iran police to confiscate cars of ‘poorly veiled’ women,” AFP, 2 September 2015 (thanks to Banafsheh): Women drivers
in Iran’s capital could have their cars impounded by police if they are caught
driving with a poorly fixed veil or without their heads covered, a police chief
said Wednesday. “If a (female) driver in a car is poorly veiled or has
taken her veil off, the vehicle will be seized in accordance with the law,” the
head of Tehran’s traffic police,...Read

Girls Shouldn't Be Forced to Share a Bathroom With Boys -- Transgender or Not - More than 150 kids walked out of Missouri’s
Hillsboro High School yesterday. Why? Because a guy calling himself Lila Perry
wanted to use the girls’ locker room. They were bursting with common
sense:“Boys needs to have their own locker room. Girls need to have their own
locker room and if somebody has mixed feelings where they are, they need to
have their own also,” said protester Jeff Childs. The school had offered just
such an accommodation, but that wasn’t enough for Perry: Perry told News 4
school officials have been accommodating, understanding, and compliant with
Title IX. The school offered her a private gender-neutral restroom, which she
turned down The controversy exploded after a girl at the school reported
encountering an “intact male” in the locker room. Exposing a penis to girls in
a public high school is generally considered an act of sexual harassment, not
part of the sexual revolution. But, sadly, Perry can’t see reality:…..
This Cop Executed in Cold Blood --
Why Isn't EVERYONE Mad As Hell? - As in all such cases, the virtue incumbent upon
everyone is patience. But allow me a churlish point: If shooter and victim were
reversed — if Mr. Miles, a black man, had been shot to death by the white
Deputy Goforth — Deray McKesson would have been leading protesters through
Cypress on Saturday morning, the White House would have issued a statement,
Ta-Nehisi Coates would have been on Meet the Press yesterday discussing how
this is to be expected in “white supremacist” America. Despite being based on
events that never happened and unreliable statistics, the narrative of police
brutality against black Americans is evangelized on every available occasion…..Appearing
on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders
told the host that “unarmed black people” getting ”dragged out of cars” or
getting shot “is happening too often.”Sanders said this after Tapper showed him
video of Ron Hickman, the sheriff of Harris County, Texas, responding to the
murder of a deputy sheriff at a gas station, declaring, “This rhetoric has
gotten out of control. We have heard black lives matter, all lives matter.
Well, cops’ lives matter, too. So why don’t we just drop the qualifier and just
say lives matter and take that to the bank?”
We Do Not Want A Large Number
of Muslims in Our Country: Prime Minister of Hungary - Many
in America feel that they cannot tell the truth when comes to the Muslim
situation. They feel as though they are being mean or hard if they say what
they feel. They are scared to have a large population of Muslims in their
community. It is not that they think that all Muslims are evil or mean. It is
not that they think that they will become militant and seek to take over the
country. The problem is that there is always problems that come with Muslims.
And the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban has been brave enough to speak
the truth. Aljazeera reports: Hungarian Prime
Minister Viktor Orban has said that his country does not want to take in large
numbers of Muslims, in defence of Hungary’s response to the surge in refugees
trying to enter the country. “I think we have a
right to decide that we do not want a large number of Muslim people in our
country,” Orban told journalists outside the EU headquarters at Brussels. “We do not like the consequences,” he said, referring
to the country’s 150-year history of Ottoman rule during the 16th and 17th
centuries…..
Lawmakers May Finally Punish A
University For Being Too Politically Correct- Lawmakers in Tennessee
are promising to bring the state’s flagship college to heel after it grabbed
headlines for telling students to use more “gender-neutral pronouns.” The hoopla started at the University of
Tennessee-Knoxville (UT) when the school’s Pride Center director Donna Braquet posted an online guide on what pronouns to use to refer to
people. The guide noted that some people, rather than going by “he” or “she,”
may prefer to go by one of “dozens” of gender-neutral pronouns, such as “ze” or
“xe.” The guide suggested that professors should ask for preferred pronouns
when calling roll, encouraged people to add their “preferred pronoun” when
introducing themselves, and even suggested that simply asking strangers for
their pronoun was a good policy. (RELATED:
Orwell’s Newspeak Is Coming To A Campus Near You) While
the guide was taken down following public backlash, some state lawmakers say
its very existence is a call to action. On Thursday, 32 Tennessee lawmakers sent a letter to UT’s board of
trustees condemning the pronoun crusade as a ludicrous waste of money…..
DC Police Union Says Mayor Is Lying About Crime Stats
- The D.C. Police Union is accusing Mayor Muriel Bowser of fudging the

tenure …..Gregg Pemberton, a spokesman for the DC Police Union, told The Daily
Caller News Foundation the mayor and police chief were simply in “damage
control.” “Both their numbers are
plummeting and they need to save face,” Pemberton said. “Lies are the best way
to do that.”…..
If You Are Paid by Government, You Must Obey Their

Davis is now languishing in jail for her faith. And there are many that have
come out in support of the stand that she has taken against sodomite unions. Huckabee
has even planned a rally in support of Kim. But there are other who have taken
an alternative stance. But, it seems that there is an attempt to make a
half-way stance. We find this in the RINO Carly Fiorina…..Though Mrs. Fiorina sounds good when
discussing her faith and policy, we find that when the rubber meets the road,
her statism outweighs her Christianity. Fiorina makes a good Roman but not a
good Christian. If our love for America
and her government is too important to obey God’s Law, then we are undone…..
The Liberal Establishment Hates
‘Anti-Establishment’ Americans -
Liberal MSNBC
contributor and Bloomberg Politics anchor Mike Barnicle made it clear in a
recent discussion on Bloomberg Politics that he doesn’t want to live anywhere
near any “anti-establishment” Americans. When his cohost (also an MSNBC
contributor) John Heilemann mentioned that a majority of Iowa Republicans were
supporting anti-establishment candidates Trump, Carson, Cruz and Fiorina,
Barnicle replied with quite a snippy retort. 53%? So
that means that if I lived in Iowa, I would want to know where each of those
members of that 53% lived, and I would want to live as far away from them as
possible, because there is something seriously wrong with the Republican party
if those people combined have a majority of the voters……

VA IG Confirms Worst Fears:
300,000 Vets Really Did Die While Waiting For Healthcare - A

astounding discoveries. Exactly 867,000 veterans still have their healthcare
applications listed as pending in the database.
Obama Set To Force Iran Deal On Congress -
President Barack Obama is poised
to bypass a congressional majority and voter opinion as he implements the Iran deal.
Obama secured the

of support for such a critical matter of national security within and without
Congress is striking.
Jeb Bush Goes on the Attack
Against Donald Trump - GOP
establishment favorite Jeb Bush was recently attacked by Donald Trump on his
past illegal immigration comments.
The Bush
team has not let the advertisement go by without response, on Tuesday morning
he appeared on Fox News to argue that Donald Trump was a wolf in GOP clothing. Jeb also responded to the criticism he has faced for
calling illegal immigration an “act of love.” What I
stand by is the fact that we need to secure our border and I have a comprehensive
plan to do just that. I’ve talked to the governors on the border. I was a
border governor because we have lots of immigration coming from the south. I’ve
talked to local law enforcement officers and people and I have a plan to be
able to secure the border. That’s what we ought to be focusing on – not
grandiose language, not mischaracterizing people’s views. That ad was a
complete mischaracterization of my thinking. It’s almost as if Donald Trump is
acting like a Washington politician – that’s what they do. Team Bush’s latest campaign ad (against
Trump) uses Trump’s own words against him.
“Look, the simple fact is
our ad simply uses his own language, his own words to say that he is more a
Democrat than a Republican, that he is for higher taxes rather than cutting
taxes. That he believes in a single payer system, that he’s not only
pro-choice, but he believes in partial birth abortion. Those are his words not
mine. I didn’t exaggerate a single thing.”……
Abortion
is Murder - A
popular post is making the rounds on social media and it’s giving pro-abortion
liberals a fit. The post describes a
situation where a pro-life advocate is arguing with a pro-death fan about the
evils of abortion. At one point in the discussion the pro-lifer calls abortion
murder, which sends the pro-abortion fanatic into a fit of rage. The
pro-aborter finally demands that the pro-lifer stop using such heated rhetoric
and says, “Abortion isn’t murder,
it’s a medical procedure.” At this point the
pro-life advocate laughs and pulls out his pocket dictionary and guides the
pro-abortion zealot through a little logical computation
“Abortion isn’t murder, it’s a medical procedure.”…My Take – Those who enjoy picking out the logical fallacies spouted by liberals will love this article. The phrase, “it’s a medical procedure” is a logical fallacy – Why? RK

Barack Obama is poised to bypass a congressional majority and voter opinion as

is a huge victory that means the deal will almost certainly be implemented. But
the lack of support for such a critical matter of national security within and
without Congress is striking. A recent Quinnipiac poll found voters 55 percent of voters oppose
the deal, compared to just 25 percent who support the deal. Another survey
found deep skepticism of the deal among U.S. active-duty military and civilian
government employees in national-security jobs. Only 26 percent of those surveyed by Defense One said the deal is good for the U.S.,
while 66 percent said the deal is not good for the U.S.

8 Texas counties list more voters than residents – No law

As UAW
contract ends, Wisconsin workers’ rights expand – A worker-freedom
organization is sending a special
legal notice to unionized employees of the Big Three automakers in
Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan. The National Right to Work Legal Defense
Foundation wants United
Auto Workers members at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to know their new
workplace rights now that they are residents of right-to-work states. Those new
rights kick in Sept. 15, after the old UAW contracts, which included forced
union dues, expire. In a statement Thursday, the Right to Work Legal Defense
Foundation said that once the UAW’s “monopoly bargaining contracts” with the
automakers end, all employees will be able to exercise their new rights under
their states’ right-to-work laws. The three states prohibit unions from
requiring forced payment of union fees as a condition of employment. All workers will have the right to resign
union membership and will no longer have to pay “agency fees” to the union at any time, for any reason……
Explosive email exposes GAB attorney’s partisan motives in John
Doe probe - In January, testifying before the Legislature, Government
Accountability Board director Kevin
Kennedy called his agency a “Wisconsin success story.” “The Legislature
should be proud of the Board, not only for its nonpartisan nature, but for its
accomplishments and performance over the first seven years existence,” Kennedy
said in defending the campaign
finance, elections, and ethics regulator against a growing list of critics
concerned that the agency was alarmingly partisan and less than accountable. Critics have long suggested the GAB was
running a partisan investigation. Court-sealed GAB emails reviewed by the
Wall Street Journal and one obtained by Wisconsin Watchdog seem to expose
the regulator as hyper-partisan, a rogue agency leading a politically-charged
campaign finance probe into Gov. Scott Walker and dozens of conservative organizations. On Thursday, the Wall
Street Journal’s editorial board reported that GAB staff, including
Kennedy, worked with John Doe special prosecutor Francis Schmitz and the
Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office (run by a partisan Democrat) to
“subpoena and intimidate the major conservative players in Wisconsin politics.”
The editorial points to an email, dated Nov. 27, 2013, to Schmitz from former
GAB staff counsel Shane
