By Pamela Geller

Mainstream Swedish media is covering up the murder of this student by a Muslim migrant. They are censoring that the murderer is a Syrian refugee, whose father is claiming he was bullied by the Lithuanian student last semester and that is why he committed the act in the first day back at school. (The murdered Lithuanian’s nationality is mentioned). This was pre-meditated murder by the Syrian Muslim student who had been planning and researching the attack since last fall, when this murdered Lithuanian teen had intervened when the Muslim murderer from assaulted a female classmate.

EAGLE RISING: How Gun Grabbers will try to Kill the 2nd Amendment

By Gary DeMar / 20 January 2016

I thought about whether I should write an article on how gun control advocates might go about confiscating guns with almost no physical force. They might actually do it just like this.

“So, I would like you to explain with 350 million guns in 65 million places, households, from Key West, to Alaska, 350 million objects in 65 million places, if the Federal government wanted to confiscate those objects, how would they do that?”

FREE BEACON: Obama Pardons 21 Iranians Convicted of Violating Sanctions

White House delayed new sanctions after Iran threatened to keep prisoners

President Barack Obama speaks about the release of Americans by Iran / AP

The Obama administration confirmed late Sunday it had delayed the imposition of new ballistic missile sanctions on Iran to ensure the Islamic Republic released five imprisoned Americans under a secret agreement reached on the sidelines of the nuclear negotiations, according to senior administration officials.

The officials confirmed that “secret” talks between U.S. and Iranian officials had been taking place for the past 14 months.

In exchange for the release of the five Americans—including a Washington Post reporter and Christian pastor—the Obama administration pardoned or dropped charges on 21 Iranians convicted of violating U.S. sanctions, including seven who had been detained in the United States, according to a State Department official who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon on background.

Iran, however, said that the number of those “privileged by the deal” stands at 28, though it did not provide evidence to back this claim.

EAGLE RISING: To Protect Women, Gays, & All Other Non-Muslims, Americans Must Oppose Muslim Immigration

By Paul Dowling / 19 January 2016

“Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.” ―Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Jihadist Immigration: The Greatest Threat to America’s Free Republic
Perhaps the greatest threat today to America’s democratic republic is the immigration into the country of so many intolerant, freedom-hating people who promise to do everything within their power to overthrow that republic. As a body of law that is not Islamically guided, the US Constitution is considered to be jahiliyya by Islam and, as such, must be targeted for destruction by the devout Muslims coming here. The entire point of the jihad is to displace non-Islamic law with Islamic law, and there are four kinds of jihad that are used to accomplish this task: 1) the jihad of money; 2) the jihad of speech; 3) the jihad of writing; and 4) the jihad of murder.

EAGLE RISING: Rep. Trey Gowdy, Journalist Sharyl Attkisson, and the Benghazi Families Unite Against Hillary Clinton!

By Onan Coca / 19 January 2016

As Hillary Clinton’s email scandal continues to unravel and it grows ever more likely that she will be indicted for criminal activities from her time as Secretary of State, the Benghazi scandal is also heating up. While two separate investigations are being conducted on the activities around the State Department, the two investigations are also inextricably linked by the bad behavior of Hillary Clinton and her cronies.

Over the last week, Clinton and her allies have faced fire from three different angles of the Benghazi/Email scandal story. Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) explained that the testimony seems to contradict the Obama administration (and State Department) story about what happened on the ground in Benghazi. Journalist Sharyl Attkisson agrees with Gowdy, saying that the evidence is now “overwhelming” and proves that the government has lied to us about what happened. Finally, the families of the Benghazi dead and those who survived are beginning to fight back against Hillary Clinton’s attempts to paint them as either liars or simpletons.

GOPDD: Martin Luther King III SLAMS #BlackLivesMatter and Violence Against the Police (Video)

By clyde - Jan 19, 2016

On the holiday commemorating his father’s epic civil rights legacy, Martin Luther King III says he is dismayed by recent violence against police, the destructive protests in Ferguson and the trashing of a U.Va. fraternity falsely accused of sexual assault because they don’t reflect his father’s own approach to advocate for change peacefully.

GOPDD: SCOTUS To Take Up Obama's Executive Actions On Immigration

Matt Vespa | Jan 19, 2016

President Obama will have his day in court over regarding the legality of his executive actions on immigration, specifically the new Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program. This initiative, which has remained in legal wilderness since two federal judges ruled it unconstitutional, with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals siding with states, like Texas, who sued the Obama administration over these actions, blocking the implementation of the president’s immigration orders last May. Now, the Supreme Court will hear arguments and deliver final judgement (via Politico):

TOWNHALL: SIREN: IG Says Hillary's Server Contained Material 'Even More Sensitive' Than Top Secret

Guy Benson | Jan 19, 2016

If this early January development was a bombshell, today's revelation is a nuclear bombshell. Hillary Clinton's improper, unsecure email server appears to have endangered national security even more than previously thought -- and her excuses continue to melt away under intensifying scrutiny. Extremely serious findings from the intelligence community's Inspector General, reported exclusively by Fox News' Catherine Herridge:

Hillary Clinton's emails on her unsecured, homebrew server contained intelligence from the U.S. government's most secretive and highly classified programs, according to an unclassified letter from a top inspector general to senior lawmakers. Fox News exclusively obtained the text of the unclassified letter, sent Jan. 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP). That indicates a level of classification beyond even “top secret,” the label previously given to two emails found on her server, and brings even more scrutiny to the presidential candidate’s handling of the government’s closely held secrets...

Intelligence from a "special access program,” or SAP, is even more sensitive than that designated as "top secret" – as were two emails identified last summer in a random sample pulled from Clinton's private server she used as secretary of state. Access to a SAP is restricted to those with a "need-to-know" because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection -- or a human asset -- at risk. Currently, some 1,340 emails designated “classified” have been found on Clinton’s server, though the Democratic presidential candidate insists the information was not classified at the time. “There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”

GOPDD: ISIS Fighters Get SPECIAL ‘Surprise’ After 8 Women Lift Their Burkas

By clyde - Jan 18, 2016

Interesting news has emerged from Islamic State (ISIS/Daesh) held territory in Syria, and it just might be the feel-good story of the week. Militants from the group came upon eight women donning full Islamic garb, and when the women lifted up their burkas, the militants were greeted with an extra special surprise.

Several weeks ago, a Daesh commander was vaporized by a United States Reaper drone as he sat unsuspectingly in his home in Raqqa with several of his jihadist buddies, and the story of how it went down is one for the ages. According to the U.K. Express, British SAS soldiers worked in conjunction with the U.S. Air Force to pinpoint the commander’s location, and they used Islamic traditions against the terror group.

GOPDD: Judge Jeannie DESTROYS Nikki Haley & GOP Establishment. ‘Support Your Frontrunner TRUMP Because You Too Can Be Fired!’

By AmyElizabeth - Jan 18, 2016

Justice, Judge Jeanine Pirro called out South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and the Republican Party for taking a shot at GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump during their rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union last week.

The Republican Party is in real trouble. They proved it to all of us this week. Their primary strategy as it relates to Donald Trump right now is dead wrong. And it will cost them the election and the White House.

GOPDD: ’13 Hours’ Review: Riveting Indictment of Obama, Hillary, and The DC Media

By clyde - Jan 16, 2016

Director Michael Bay’s riveting, heartbreaking, and infuriating “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” opens with five simple words: “This Is a True Story.” What it should have read was, “This Is a True Story The Media Has Covered Up For Years.”

God damn these people to Hell.
Let me start things off by pointing and laughing at George Clooney, Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Tim Robbins, John Cusack, Leonardo Di Caprio, Paul Greengrass, Matt Damon, and Paul Haggis — all of whom made films critical of a sitting president’s foreign policy that ended up being, not only box office catastrophes, but creative embarrassments; completely forgettable, preachy, pedantic, just plain lousy movies no one will ever see again.
