With These 8 Words, Mitt Romney Humiliated Obama With Thunderous Applause

Former Governor and Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has taken his political comeback tour on the road, recently stopping in Michigan.
According to CBS DC, Romney was in Michigan to help raise support for Terri Lynn Land, the GOP candidate for the state’s open Senate seat.
Romney, the son of popular former Governor George Romney, who was born and raised in Michigan, received a warm welcome from the crowd at the rally.
But he drew the biggest round of applause when he spoke about how tough times have been for America over the past two years, since President Obama was reelected, saying that “It’s time for him to apologize to America.”
Romney is right.  Obama does need to apologize to America because he has sabotaged our economy, has continuously attacked our rights and liberty, and has put our nation in danger.
Our nation faces danger mostly from the wide open and unenforced border, along with the rise of the violently radical Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Obama has also diminished the standing of the US on the world stage.  Our enemies and rivals don’t fear us, our allies don’t trust us, and nobody respects us anymore.
It is time for Republicans to take back control of the Senate, hold onto the House, and spend the next two years holding Obama accountable for his disastrous policies and scandalous behavior.

Tory environmental record hurting trade, says Mulcair

OTTAWA - NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says the Conservatives have hurt the economy because the Europeans and Americans aren't happy with Canada's environmental record.
In an election-style speech to delegates at a green energy forum in Ottawa Friday, Mulcair said that if elected prime minister, Canada will "begin working with the world and not against the planet."
He said Canada will lose access to international markets such as Europe because of the international perception the Conservatives have created that Canadians don't properly manage natural resources.
The attack against the Tories was likely a veiled criticism of the European Union's recent threats to label Alberta's oilsands as "dirty," a moniker that could limit Canada's exports.
The Europeans have since backtracked on those threats. It is no secret, however, that some European politicians don't appreciate Stephen Harper's environmental policies.
After Mulcair's speech, NDP House leader Peter Julian told reporters U.S. President Barack Obama has also stated that Canada "is not playing the role it needs to play" with regards to ensuring the environment is adequately protected.
In his election-style stump speech, Mulcair also said he would "put a price on carbon" and change Canada's Charter of Rights Freedoms to include the right to a clean environment and clean drinking water.
Mulcair also promised an NDP government would settle outstanding treaty disputes with First Nations communities and create a "nation-to-nation" dialogue with aboriginal groups on any future energy development.

Sick Passenger Removed from United Flight by Medical Personnel in Hazmat Suits

At least one passenger exhibiting flu-like symptoms and believed to be from Liberia was removed Saturday from a United Airlines plane at New Jersey’s Newark International Airport by medical personnel in hazmat suits.

Passengers and crew on board Flight 998 were instructed to remain inside the plane while the sick passenger was removed. They were allowed off the plane shortly after the removal. United Airlines said it is working with authorities to accommodate its passengers.
“The crew reported that a person was vomiting, and that Liberians were aboard the plane,” a law enforcement source told The New York Post. “The person throwing up is believed to be Liberian.”
Details about the number of ill passengers were not immediately clear, but the issue raised fears since the symptoms described are commonly associated with Ebola. 7Online.com reported that passengers, believed to be a father and daughter from Liberia, exhibited flu-like symptoms. They were taken to nearby University Hospital.

Netanyahu Slams Obama: “It’s Worth Learning The Information Properly”

Obama is hard at work ruing our relationship with Israel, our closest ally. The White House criticized plans to build 2,610 homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Hamatos, saying the move would “draw condemnation from the international community, distance Israel from even its closest allies [and] poison the atmosphere.”
Netanyahu rebuked Obama and his State Department for jumping to conclusions, when they should have left well enough alone. The Israeli Prime Minister told reporters, “It’s worth learning the information properly before deciding to take a position like that.”
Benjamin Netanyahu has proven time and again that he is ten times the leader Obama is. It’s safe to say that these building plans should be the least of the President’s worries.

BREAKING: Obama Just Got Hit With a Lawsuit That Could Stop Him Cold

The government watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the Obama administration for failing to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request regarding 36,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens who were released from federal custody.
The report on the release of the aliens initially came from the Centers for Immigration Studies.
We told you about this willful act of placing Americans in danger in May.
Judicial Watch’s complaint demands that any DHS emails and memoranda related to the Centers for Immigration Studies report be handed over to the public.
DHS had until May 14, 2014 to honor the request. Their failure to comply resulted in the lawsuit.

Al Sharpton’s B-Day Bash Raises $1 Million To Pay Off Massive Tax Debt

Al Sharpton loves the hustle, but paying his bills? Not so much. His National Action Network is $1.1 million in debt, including $813,576 owed to the IRS for back payroll taxes and penalties. Being that deep in the hole, Sharpton used his wily skills and the occasion of his 60th birthday celebration to beg and guilt his debt away.

The star-studded gala was held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York on Wednesday. Sharpton put the screws to a who’s who of guilty white people to help pay down his fiscal liabilities. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio were joined by corporate giants from AT&T, Walmart, and McDonalds; all who brought the checkbooks.

The New York Post reports:

Sharpton’s chief fund-raiser, Lamell McMorris, announced the event raised $1 million in contributions.

A million bucks in one night? Race hustling is even more lucrative than I suspected.

“I guess we did fine. When everything is reported at the end of the fourth quarter, we’ll be in the black,” said Sharpton of the windfall.

In the black? Was that a pun? Sharpton isn’t really known for his wit or sense of humor, but he does try to make everything an issue of race so it’s hard to tell.

Besides lacking a funny bone, Sharpton is also missing accounting skills. Check this out: the $1.1 million debt is from 2012, the same year that the NY Post says:

That year, NAN paid out $852,377 in “professional fees,” $203,253 in travel costs and a meager $9,225 in charitable contributions.

Try to stop looking at that pathetically low charity number and realize that the National Action Network racked up $1.1 million in debt while spending $1,064,855. Those numbers are almost identical. Do they actually bring in any money or do they just borrow cash and rely on birthday parties to pay it back later?

Actually, it worse than that. Newsmax reports that, “Sharpton’s group owed $4.7 million in unpaid back taxes, debts and liens as of its 2012 tax report.”

How the hell can you go almost $5 million dollars in the hole while spending only $1 million? There seems to be some discrepancies here. Even if you account for penalties, the numbers are still way off. Instead of targeting conservative groups, the IRS might want to do an audit of Sharpton and NAN.

The funniest thing about Sharpton’s birthday “party” were the donation levels attendees could achieve:


Billed as a “Party for the Cause,” the birthday bash charged $1,500 for a “medallion” listing in its glossy program, $2,500 for a “tracksuit” entry and a whopping $25,000 for those who wanted “preacher” standing…

I think the top level of donation should have been “pompadour.” It only makes sense if the other levels are “medallion” and “tracksuit.” Or he could have went with “Tawana Brawley,” “The Duke lacrosse team,” and “Crown Heights” respectively. How about Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and Michael Brown? Okay, I’ll stop.

For the record:
Debra Lee, CEO of BET, Ron Perelman, Michelle Ebanks, CEO of Essence Communications, GE Asset Management and Walmart became “preachers” for the night…

You would think that the massive debts piled up by NAN and the almost non-existent amount of actual charity work they do would be enough to show people what a bogus organization this is, but I guess the power of Sharpton’s race hustle is too much for rich liberals to resist.

Muslims Get UK To Ban Bomb Sniffing Dogs Because It Offends Them

In the Muslim faith, dogs are deemed to be spiritually ‘unclean’. So naturally, muslims are wanting to ban dogs from being a part of airport security, even though doing so would severely restrict their ability to do their job. 

This report was brought by the Transport Department and claimed that it would be more acceptable if the dogs would not touch the passengers’ luggage.
The report also said that the use of full body scans are inappropriate and just an alternative to having people strip searched. Regardless of what you think about those methods of national security, keep in mind these actions were due to the wake of 2005 London suicide bomb attacks.
British Transport Police last night claimed that it would still use sniffer dogs, which are trained to detect explosives, with any passengers regardless of faith. The report concluded with: “The use of sniffer dogs was generally problematic for Muslim respondents on religious grounds if there was the potential of the dog to make direct contact with them.”
News of the setback caused by the report came as the Government yesterday admitted that installing 100% airport style screening at subway systems were not ‘feasible’.

Feds knew months ago, only now is warning ISIS targeting military wives and kids

With the terrorist group ISIS airing videos of their grisly beheadings of hostages with regularity, their recent threat against everyday Americans may have unwittingly brought to light that the U.S. government is so large, bloated and bureaucratic, America could possibly be the proverbial giant that can't tie its own shoes. As reported by Fox News via the Military.com news portal on Oct. 3, 2014, a U.S. Army intelligence warning is getting the word out to military personnel and their families to exercise vigilance after ISIS called on its many supporters to "scour social media for addresses of their family members -- and to 'show up [at their homes] and slaughter them.'"

Yet what remains somewhat disconcerting, Fox News Chief Intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge bluntly stated in her report that Fox News had to "obtain" the warning. Ostensibly, it's reasonably assumed the Army would have disseminated the same to the civilian media overall. The warning was sent to the world-wide United States military community in the form of the Pentagon's Army Threat Integration Center (ARTIC) issuance of ARTIC-SA-14-0015 Special Assessment on Sept. 25, 2014.
Curiously, the same Army Special Assessment clearly cites a terrorist threat timeline that is more than slightly different than what Fox News has reported to the nation and the world. ARTIC-SA-14-0015 references a Reuters news service report of Sept. 22, 2014 noting that an ISIS/ISIL spokesman called on his fellow Islamist Jihadists "to attack citizens of the US, France and other countries that joined the US-led coalition against the group."

Marines Deploy a New 2,300 Strong Quick-Reaction Force in Kuwait

The Pentagon activated a new quick-reaction force of U.S. Marines this week in the Middle East, building on an effort begun in the aftermath of 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, which killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos said about half of the 2,300 person force, to be based in Kuwait, was in place and would quickly be available to respond to any security or humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.

Although the new Kuwait-based reaction force was in the planning stages before the U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State militants began, Gen. Amos said the Marines there could be used, if needed, to reinforce the embassy in Baghdad, rescue downed pilots, or bolster the effort to advise Iraqi forces.

But defense officials said the most likely first uses of the new force would be to respond to crises and problems arising in other corners of the Middle East.

BREAKING: North Korea Overthrows Dictator Kim Jong-un

orth Korea’s Organization and Guidance Department (OGD), the country’s most powerful group of officials, has stopped taking orders from Kim Jong-un. amid reports that the dictator has been overthrown.

Kim Jong-un has been missing for over a week and authorities originally tried to cover-up his absence by claiming he was recovering from ankle surgery.

According to a think tank in Seoul formed by North Korean defectors, the dictator’s sister is currently running the country, making all important decisions in the wake of her brother’s disappearance.

A former North Korean counter-intelligence officer, Jang Jin-sung, has claimed that Kim Jong-Un is no longer in control of the nation and is now just a ‘puppet leader’.

Jin-sung believes that the current North Korean regime will collapse in the near future and that Kim Jong-Un could be replaced by one of his brothers, either Kim Jong-nam, 43, or Kim Jong-chul, 33.
“North Korea is currently embroiled in a sort of civil war”, he said in his speech.

Some officials want to keep the communist status quo, he said, others are open to elements of capitalism being introduced. The capital of North Korea, Pyongyang, has been placed into lockdown with even the elite banned from entering or leaving.
