LEVIN: Hillary getting off the hook (again) shows us how 'the fix is in...the system is rigged'

"The only issue should have been whether they force her to serve for LIFE!"

Of course there's outrage; yet, I think very few of us were genuinely shocked that Hillary once again gets away with here criminal activities. She's a Democrat and a Clinton! Nonetheless, I couldn't agree more with Levin's in-depth assessment...

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, We had a Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who didn’t care about national security. She undoubtedly endangered the lives of individuals through her violation of the Espionage Act and endangered the national security of this country, all because she wanted to make sure she couldn’t be held to account for anything to anybody. However, Hillary is getting off the hook as FBI Director James Comey doesn’t recommend charges for her. In addition, there should have been a special prosecutor appointed to oversee this case and there should have been a grand jury. Hillary is not qualified to be president or get a security clearance. If this were a Republican candidate running for president, there is no way they would have gotten away with this. Also, this should have been a slam dunk prosecution. It’s an iron clad case except for the fact that Comey covered for Hillary. This is what we call, the fix is in and the system is rigged.

WashingtonExaminer: Conservative radio host Mark Levin slammed the FBI on Tuesday for not recommending the Justice Department take up what he said would have been an easy case against Hillary Clinton.

"They found several thousand emails that were not disclosed to the FBI," Levin said on LevinTV Tuesday night. "You know what I call that? A cover up. She intended to cover up, she intended to unravel the security system that was put into place. It's worse than gross negligence. This is a slam dunk prosecution. This is a slam dunk case."

While it is not standard for the FBI to make a recommendation to federal prosecutors, FBI Director James Comey's statement earlier on Tuesday decreases the chances Attorney General Loretta Lynch will pursue charges against Clinton.

But the nationally syndicated talk host was adamant that in light of the actions the former secretary of state took to circumvent the law, the case would be an easy win for the Obama administration.

"She used multiple smart phones. Multiple mobile devices. She lied about that. She lied about the servers — with an 's' — plural. She lied about not getting any classified information," Levin said. "Always skating on the edge, always protected and dammit she might be the next president of the United States."

The FBI's investigation comes to a close 20 days before the Democratic National Convention takes place in Philadelphia, where Clinton is expected to become the official nominee of the party.

And despite it all, she's still looking like the likely next President of the United States. How far we've fallen, America.

Our declaration, our recourse

"This practice of constitutional revision (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves." ~ Antonin Scalia

On this day, we'll fly our flags high, wear our patriotic colors, grill up some great tasting food, and prepare to watch a fireworks display tonight, all in celebration of our country's original independence fought for and won in a Revolutionary War that gained our individual liberties and national freedom from a despotic king a continent away.

Now however, we find ourselves and our country being taken full circle, history repeating itself, and not in a positive light, but chipped away from within. Today we awaken to a manipulated electorate continuously reinstalling career cronies beholden more to money handlers, special interests and their own power than to the will of their constituency. Our so-called representatives have handed over their legislative powers to the will of a centralized executive. The will of the states have been overruled and undermined by any number of federally-appointed departments, in addition to the installation of federally-appointed judges by the executive. And what the new monarch doesn't decide for the People, the increasingly powerful oligarchs of the judiciary constitute under the executive's will, which is to say by feeling or political wind, not under a Constitution.

Our system of government, which has decayed into a corruptible illusion of democracy, has strayed so far from the real Constitutional Republic that was established a mere eleven years after our Declaration of Independence. The checks and balances of a better system have been all but erased for unyielding, centralized power of the few, lording over the People, because 'they know better,' or so they believe.

Now more than ever, WE MUST take a hard look at our original Declaration and understand its intrinsic necessity to the establishment and true security of our liberties...

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Note the plain-spoken English within these two paragraphs, not thousands of pages of confusion! The next part is one that needs a slight paraphrase for today's America:

Such has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former System of Government. The history of the present Executive of these United States is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

As well as the list of grievances, exquisitely articulated from Levin's 2015 CPAC speech:

So let me, today, submit to a candid world the short list of repeated injuries and usurpations committed by THIS PRESIDENT, the would-be king, Barack Obama:

1. “You have violated the Separation of Powers.”
2.”You have seized unto yourself Legislative Power granted unto the Congress alone.”
3. “You have unilaterally appropriated monies to fund your radical agenda.”
4. “You have contravened Congress’ authority over Immigration and Naturalization.”
5. “You repeatedly defy the Senate’s confirmation power over your appointments.”
6. “You have poisoned the independence of the Judiciary by appointing scores of radical activists to lifetime judicial appointments.”
7. “You have repeatedly evaded the Senate’s role in the adoption of treaties.”
8. “You’ve shown nothing but contempt for the Bill of Rights.”
9. “You’ve shown nothing but contempt for private property rights and free market Capitalism.”
10. “You have nationalized to destroy the greatest Healthcare System on the face of the Earth.”
11. “You have recklessly destroyed the fiscal well-being of this nation with wild spending schemes, driving up the Federal operating debt to $18.5 Trillion and unfunded liabilities to over $100 Trillion.”
12. “You have directed Federal Departments, like the EPA, to unleash thousands of regulations...“
13. “You have driven the median-income of Americans down...“
14. “You have used the Office of the President to balkanize the American People along lines of race, gender, age and income...“
15. “You have showed contempt for our military...“
16. “You have failed to take necessary steps to confront Islamic Naziism...”
17. “You have undermined our friend Israel to the detriment of our security.”

Returning to the original language of our Declaration:

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Unfortunate for We the People today, this message was declared by true 'Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States,' not by the statists and quislings who now hold the same offices, and who could sparsely utter these words: 'And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.'

Also unfortunate for us, we have a mere handful of oligarchs determining constitutionality of law based on anything and everything, BUT the Constitution's ORIGINAL INTENT or plain TEXT and MEANING OF WORDS! Of course, all you'll find searching for such media discussions are criticisms against the more originalist justices, referring to them as 'oligarchs' anytime the Left doesn't get its way. When in truth, regardless of which way a decision lands, it is oligarchical when a mere five imperfect individuals hand down subjective interpretations of law which dictate over millions of Americans, rendering the People of the States (i.e., Ninth and Tenth Amendments!) null and void!

As we celebrate independence, let us seriously reflect on that revered document and the current system of government that seeks to reverse our Declaration. If we are no longer represented on high, nor allowed the freedom to govern ourselves (i.e., the states), then it's time to do something about that. We owe this, not only to ourselves, but to the generations of Americans to come. Your kids, your grandkids. They are America's future, and we must do this for them.

This is our declaration, our recourse.

Apparently, Obama's rainbow matters more than veterans' care...

While insufficient care and waits persisted throughout VA facilities across the country, the administration's fanfare of the day has been how the Pentagon has ended the ban on transgender troops in the military. Hopelessly out of touch. Well here's a couple of story you won't here the media go out of their way to tell Americans who care about their soldiers. First, the VA's suicide hotline is failing veterans in crisis...

USAToday: More than a third of troubled veterans are not getting through to the best trained suicide-hotline staffers because of poor work habits at the Department of Veteran's Affairs' call center, according to VA emails obtained by USA TODAY.

Some workers handle only one to five calls each day and leave before their shifts end even though phone lines have gotten busier, the emails say. As a result, 35% to 50% of the calls roll over to back-up centers where workers have less training to deal with the emotional problems of former servicemembers.

Secondly, it looks like the VA is now colluding with unions to rally against reform!

FreeBeacon: An official at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital is helping the largest federal employee union oppose efforts to reform the agency’s network of hospitals.

The public affairs officer at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center in Wyoming has advertised a rally organized by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) next week to protest recommendations made by members of an independent commission that would overhaul VA healthcare, according to internal communications obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Shameful. But, no, we gotta celebrate military transgenderism. What the hell that ailment has to do with serving and securing our nation is anyone's guess. Another politically correct PR stunt from the Obama administration to further degrade the most powerful military force in the world while ignoring the real needs of our veterans would be my best guess.

Cruz GRILLS Homeland Security Secretary over purge of radical Islamic references

"Johnson knows exactly what they have been doing at the DHS; he’s the one giving the orders to scrub all references from manuals and documents." ~ Mark Levin

Thursday morning, Ted Cruz grilled DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson on the purge of any radical Islamic references from Homeland Security records, as well as how they continue missing red flags in identifying Muslim jihadists (try not to jump through your monitor listening to the BS pouring out of another pathetic Obama puke!)...

TRS: Pathetic. If they were really doing a better job, then how is it they missed the Muslim Orlando shooter who massacred 50 people, whose own father is a Taliban sympathizer?

Just as Cruz pointed out, they keep missing these guys and chalk it up to lessons learned, when the reason they are missing them is because of the top-down political correctness imposed by the president in order to protect Islam.

Without doubt, this guy is just as treasonous as his boss and all the rest of the cronies. 'How' and 'Why' America?

"An Orwellian double-think that seeks to excerpt any reference of radical Islamic terrorism is counterproductive to keeping this country safe."

"There was a time when we had men like General Patton who wanted to defeat the enemy. Instead, today, we get lectures from President Obama on soul searching when we are attacked. It’s liberals like Obama and AG Loretta Lynch that are holding our military back and preventing us from defeating these Islamo-Nazi throwbacks from the 7th century. We can beat them, but these pathetic politicians won’t let us beat them!" ~ ML, 6/29/16

Free Trade vs. Tariffs: A YUGE difference between Farage and Trump...

Here's a leader who knows what he's talking about, understanding the dangers of tariffs and the benefits of free trade...take note when Farage suggests a 'tariff-free deal' how the European socialists scoff.

CR: Brexit architect and UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage was enjoying the spotlight at European Parliament Tuesday, as a he told a jeering crowd that he now has had the last laugh. Farage took the moment to preach the benefits of free trade, and to warn the EU of the cost of cutting off trade partnerships with the UK.

“We – between your countries and my country – do an enormous amount of business in goods and services. That trade is mutually beneficial to both of us. That trade matters.”

“If you were to decide to cut off your noses, to spite your faces, and to reject any idea of a sensible trade deal, the consequences would be far worse for you than it would be for us,” Farage told a scoffing crowd of MEPs.

And here's one who doesn't know history much less what the hell he's talking about. On the contrary, he's mimicking Hillary Clinton!

"We have a battle within the Republican Party between those who believe in liberty, property rights and capitalism, and progressive populists dressing themselves up as nationalists. Free market capitalism is the way up the ladder to success and offers Americans jobs and opportunity. Protectionism and tariffs are a great way to destroy the economy and empower bureaucrats." ~ Mark Levin, 6/27/16

CR: Donald Trump gave a major "economic freedom" speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania during which he touted tariffs and protectionism while blasting free trade.

Mark Levin has denounced Trump's phony "America First" trade policy before and didn't hold back Tuesday night on his radio program either. Levin compared Trump's speech to one that could've been given by the likes of Herbert Hoover or Pat Buchanan.

Even worse, Levin said "Trump is mimicking Hillary Clinton" with his trade and economic policies, who in turn "is mimicking Bernie Sanders." That's why Trump continues to reach out to Sanders supporters, Levin suggests, because his views on trade are actually similar to that off of the democratic-socialist.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, Donald Trump gave a speech that could’ve been given by the likes of Herbert Hoover or Pat Buchanan. Trump was cherry picking quotes from the Founding Fathers and Lincoln to support his tariff policy. All tariffs will do is to create more government and more centralization. Why not trade tariffs for the federal income tax? But not tariffs on top on income taxes. Trump is now mimicking Hillary Clinton with his trade and economic policies, who in turn is mimicking Bernie Sanders. That’s why Trump continues to reach out to Sanders supporters because his views on trade are actually similar to that of the democratic-socialist. In addition, countries have the capacity to retaliate and they did 85 years ago against Smoot-Hawley. The result was devastating and should be proof enough that tariffs will not help the average blue collar worker but harm them. They are a tax on the working man and woman. Also, Reagan policies resulted in the greatest burst of economic growth post Industrial Revolution, not protectionism. Trump is not going to bring jobs back to America through protectionist policies. Trump is a Herbert Hoover, Hillary Clinton protectionist tariff guy.

"It was fitting that Donald Trump appeared to be standing in front of a mess of commingled recycled trash while he delivered his trade policy speech. Because his plan appears mostly recycled from the platform of Hillary Clinton." ~ Amanda Carpenter

Amazing how one outspoken voice in Europe promotes moving out of the socialism that's crippled the Old World for decades, while another here at home works towards introducing the New World to the same trash heap...

SCOTUS concocts another phony protection for abortion

"To begin, the very existence of this suit is a jurisprudential oddity. Ordinarily, plaintiffs cannot file suits to vindicate the constitutional rights of others. But the Court employs a different approach to rights that it favors. So in this case and many others, the Court has erroneously allowed doctors and clinics to vicariously vindicate the putative constitutional right of women seeking abortions." ~ Justice Clarence Thomas's dissent

"Today’s decision will prompt some to claim victory, just as it will stiffen opponents’ will to object. But the entire Nation has lost something essential. The majority’s embrace of a jurisprudence of rights-specific exceptions and balancing tests is “a regrettable concession of defeat—an acknowledgement that we have passed the point where ‘law,’ properly speaking, has any further application."" ~ Justice Thomas's conclusion, quoting the late Justice Scalia

The culture of death drags on. On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled against pro-life protections, taking the Left's abortion zeal to a new level...

CR: In the most consequential abortion decision since 1992, the Supreme Court struck down a Texas law regulating the public safety of abortion clinics. In a 5-3 decision with Justice Breyer writing for the majority in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the high court reversed the Fifth Circuit and invalidated Texas’s HB 2, which required abortion clinics to meet the health standards for ambulatory surgical centers and required doctors at the facilities to have admissions privileges at a hospital within 30 miles.

After concocting a Fourteenth Amendment right to an abortion at almost any stage out of whole cloth in Roe v.Wade and Casey, the court now holds that any basic, prudent and clearly constitutional state regulation addressing safety concerns at abortion facilities that in any way results in a decrease in the number of abortions performed is “unconstitutional.”

Levin briefly discussed how despicable this decision was...

"Five justices on the Supreme Court decided against the state of Texas regarding abortion clinics. Apparently, to these justices it was too much of a burden for Texas to be requiring abortion clinics to meet the same standards as other surgical centers and also have a relationship with a nearby hospital."

Folks, God's judgment will continue on this land, until...

"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." ~ 2 Chronicles 7:14

Which is why we must implore and employ strong voices like this to continue the fight!

“The Supreme Court’s ruling in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt is profoundly disappointing. Texas enacted HB 2’s commonsense health standards to ensure that women receive safe care. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court sided with abortion extremists who care more about providing abortion-on-demand than they do protecting women’s health. This decision will not silence our fight to protect the most helpless and innocent among us, nor will we cease our efforts to protect women from an abortion industry that prioritizes profit margins over improving the safety and health of Texas women. We will continue to stand resolutely to defend unborn life because we know that every life is a gift from God, and without life there is no liberty.” ~ Ted Cruz

ADDENDUM: Inadvertently, Justice Stephen Breyer's argument for abortion makes an equally compelling one against gun control!

"But there is no reason to believe that an extra layer of regulation would have affected that behavior. Determined wrongdoers, already ignoring existing statutes and safety measures, are unlikely to be convinced to adopt safe practices by a new overlay of regulations."

In today's abortion opinion, Justice Breyer collaterally smashes cornerstone gun control argument. https://t.co/cXmSHlkLQU

Of course, they'll claim a double-standard in that case, which is precisely what's wrong with allowing a majority of five oligarchs to legislate from the bench on a whim for hundreds of millions of Americans.

ADDENDUM II: Then today, the Court failed to protect religious liberty AGAIN...

CR: Just when you thought the term was over for the Supreme Court, there is more bad news emanating from the strongest branch of government today. The Supreme Court failed to grant cert to a group of pharmacists targeted by an anti-religious mandate on their private business forcing them to sell abortifacients.

As I’ve noted throughout this term, the Supreme Court has spoken as much through its opinions as it has by letting terrible lower court decisions stand without hearing an appeal. The lower courts are even worse than the Supreme Court and are constantly invalidating religious liberty protection laws in red states and upholding anti-religious bigotry in blue states. ...

What this case and the numerous cases involving the Obamacare birth control mandate demonstrate is that almost every circuit court no longer believes in religious liberty, in line with five justices on the Supreme Court. We will never be able to rely on the federal courts to protect religious liberty. They can only be a liability in striking down good laws that are in compliance with the Constitution.

As the English lead the way out of indebted and devalued EU entanglement and degraded rule, the question begs who's next?

“The British people have spoken clearly: They choose to leave the European Union. The results of the ‘Brexit’ referendum should serve as a wake-up call for internationalist bureaucrats from Brussels to Washington, D.C. that some free nations still wish to preserve their national sovereignty. The British people have indicated that they will no longer outsource their future to the EU, and prefer to chart their own path forward. The United States can learn from the referendum and attend to the issues of security, immigration and economic autonomy that drove this historic vote. In addition, we should treat the ‘Brexit’ as an opportunity to forge a closer partnership with our historic friend and ally, including immediately starting negotiations for a targeted US-UK free trade agreement.” ~ Ted Cruz

Rebuked! Obama’s illegal executive amnesty hits wall in SCOTUS

“Today’s Supreme Court decision is a victory for the rule of law. As the Washington Post rightly noted, ‘the action deals Obama perhaps the biggest legal loss of his presidency.’ By trying to unilaterally grant amnesty to nearly five million people, President Obama invited even more illegal immigration, which in turn undermines our security and drives down the wages of Americans across our nation. No President has the authority to rewrite the law or ignore our immigration laws, and the Court’s rejection of Obama’s executive amnesty is a powerful rebuke of this administration’s lawlessness. I salute Texas for leading 26 states in securing this important victory for our Constitution and for our sovereignty.” ~ Ted Cruz

This could have gone terribly wrong, particularly with the untimely demise of Scalia. However, this was the outcome we'd at the very least hoped for...for the Rule of Law's sake!

TheResurgent: The Supreme Court deadlocked today in a 4-4 decision over the DAPA program. That’s President Obama’s illegal overreach of executive authority to grant amnesty.

A federal district court in Texas had enjoined the President from enforcing his order. An appellate court affirmed that decision. And now a 4-4 decision by the Supreme Court means the district court ruling is upheld.

Executive amnesty dies. The only thing really unbelievable here is that the Supreme Court was not 8-0 in favor of the lower court. It should have been.

From a clown-frown to a cheerful laugh on high, it's not off-base to believe Providence shined through on this one...

Concession: While Dems politicize terrorism with 'gun control'

Why is it that politicians, particularly of the Democratic persuasion, desire the politicization of, well, everything?! The latest is not new. Murder, terrorism, no matter...they politicize tragedy for one goal: to achieve an agenda. What's the agenda? It's about more than mere 'gun control' I can assure you. It's about our subservience. At what cost? Surrender, both personally and nationally. Just as long as the Ruling Class exists to maintain power. After all, they matter more than a free people. And they'll keep us safe somehow, right? This is the tyranny from within that's defeating us...

TheResurgent: Barack Obama has failed as President and last night the Democrats admitted it. The terrorists have beaten us. Staging a sit in on the floor of the House of Representatives and shouting down Speaker Paul Ryan, Democrats demanded that our constitutional rights be curtailed in the name of keeping us safe from terrorists. During the Bush Administration, the Democrats claimed any curtailing of our rights meant the terrorists won. Now, after Orlando, the Democrats are willing to shut down the House of Representatives in order to ensure our constitutional rights get revoked.

Even the far left ACLU opposes the Democrats’ plan as an encroachment on liberty. The leading Congressman supporting taking away our constitutional rights was himself improperly put on a no-fly list. But it does not matter. Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, who marched in the streets for civil rights, is now comfortably in power and wants to take away our constitutional rights without due process. ...

The Democrats are conceding that Barack Obama’s policies have failed and the terrorists have won. By their own standard from the Bush era, they now want to curtail our constitutional rights because they are scared and admit neither their President nor their god Uncle Sam can keep them safe. But they’ll be damned if you are allowed to keep yourself safe.

Why so many politicians are in favor of disarming the American public over ensuring our inalienable rights, particularly in regards to saving innocent people's lives, is a conversation the Ruling Class doesn't want to discuss. It's as if Democrats would rather defend the Constitution for terrorists over the citizenry while simultaneously trashing it for American gun owners...

TheResurgent: Back in January, when Sen. Ted Cruz was a presidential candidate, he introduced S.247, the Expatriate Terrorist Act, which has all but died in committee. The ACLU and other liberal organizations decried this as trampling the 14th Amendment and “due process.” Yet despite the ACLU opposing using terror “watchlists” to deny gun purchases, Democrats want to press forward with squashing that particular Constitutional right.

Cruz’s bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify what expresses an American citizen’s “intent” to relinquish American citizenship. For example, pledging allegiance to ISIS, or going overseas and meeting with terrorists, or supporting them financially. ...

Back in January, liberals trashed Cruz and S.247, saying it “would allow bureaucrats to strip citizenship from U.S. citizens on the dangerously vague grounds of ‘assistance’ to a terrorist group.” But they are A-okay with the same bureaucrats stripping Second Amendment and Sixth Amendment rights from law-abiding citizens so those who assist terrorists can be protected.

Those lawmakers who are camped out on the floor of the House of Representatives, singing Kumbayah and eating smores (or checking Twitter) are hypocrites to the core. They don’t care about American citizens’ rights. They care about politics and looking like they’re some kind of revolutionaries. They are fools.

This same patriot that should be our presidential nominee is holding a hearing next week on the Obama administration's cover-up or 'willful blindness' of radical Islamic terrorism. Knowing the way the political winds blow, I wouldn't be at all surprised if McConnell adjourned the Senate until after the holiday, thus postponing this much more important inquiry than a Dem sit-in.

In Denial of Truth: on terrorism and guns

"Since 9/11, we have had 28,135 terrorist attacks committed by Islamic jihadists that have occurred around the world. We know what the problem is, we’re just afraid to say it.

Terrorist activity is on the rise, and President Barack Obama chooses to close his eyes and put his fingers in his ears.

This blatant disregard for our country’s safety is inadmissible, yet U.S. citizens still blindly follow this failed and egocentric leadership. As Americans, we need to wake up and acknowledge the dismal reality: as long as Obama is in office, ISIS is winning. Each time our president pleas for gun control as a remedy to these vicious attacks, ISIS wins. Each time Obama refuses to utter the words “radical Islamic terrorism,” ISIS wins. The longer we stand by and refuse to accept we are at war with a relentless enemy, ISIS wins." ~ Brigitte Gabriel, 6/14/16

The Orlando attack has yet to be added to the growing world map of global ISIS-inspired attacks, and it's unfortunate that it probably won't be the last as Ramadan just began...

CNN: The deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 followed a clarion call by ISIS to its supporters in the United States to launch attacks during Ramadan, the Islamic Holy Month, which started last week.

In an audio recording released on May 21, ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed al Adnani called for "a month of hurt" in the United States as well as Europe.

His message to ISIS sympathizers like Orlando shooter Omar Mateen: Stay home and kill anybody, anyhow, anywhere.

Terrorists among us are planning their next attack in America, and while there seems to be questions about how to handle those on America's terrorist watch list, it's undeniable that these horrific massacres are the price we pay for not destroying ISIS...

TheFederalist: In the wake of the Orlando terrorist attack, which left 50 dead and for which ISIS claimed responsibility on Sunday, there’s one question we probably will not debate seriously: whether we should return to the Bush doctrine and shut down terrorist safe havens overseas, and specifically whether we should deploy troops to the Middle East to destroy ISIS.

Instead, gun control and anti-gay bigotry will be the going concerns, especially among our liberal and media elite in the days ahead, just as they were in the hours after the attack. Partisans on the Left believe they can bend those aspects to their advantage in domestic political battles, and that’s what they’ll talk about.

Indeed, it only took President Barack Obama a few minutes in his remarks Sunday afternoon to suggest that one of the proper responses to Orlando would be to pass stricter gun-control measures. This is one of the president’s favorite talking points after a “mass shooting,” regardless of who does the shooting or why. It matters little that the shooter, Omar Mateen, was armed with firearms he appears to have acquired legally, or that he was a licensed security guard and thus wasn’t the type of person who would be denied a firearm even under a far stricter gun control regime.

No matter. We will hear more about gun control. But we won’t hear the president announce a new foreign policy to defeat ISIS because on a fundamental level Obama think these kinds of terrorist attacks are an acceptable price to pay for American nonintervention in the Middle East.

Yet the cult of Obama is fervently committed to denial...

Breitbart: As we stand by and quarrel amongst ourselves about trivial matters, the true foe is systematically devising our extermination. We are hated in the name of ideology while our government claims the solution is nested in more gun control. They are convinced we should “kill ‘em with kindness” as our opposition LITERALLY kills us. ISIS law does not recognize morality or ethics in any form, so why should we feel obligated to welcome such malice into our civilized society?

However, our commander-in-chief did not stealthily worm his way into the oval office by circumstance, he was elected by the vast majority. Twice. Removing one subversive ringleader from authority is not a cure-all for the underlying problem; it is correcting this absurd PC culture as a whole. We have allowed this perspective, constructed solely upon subjectivity and emotion, to reign supreme in a dog-eat-dog world. Battling immoral savages with tolerance and benevolence is a recipe for disaster.

The Obama administration has planted the seed that political correctness should guide significant cultural decisions. Unfortunately, these seeds have sprouted into poisonous weeds that will only choke our very freedom. We must learn from history instead of ignoring the warning signs in fear of being labeled “Islamophobes.” We cannot back down from our American principles that made us who we are. A proud patriot is the most gratifying title an American can attain, and if that means being called a bigot, then we must wear that badge with pride too. Liberty is our greatest asset, so let’s stand up for America before there isn’t one to stand up for.

Even Hillary's fundraising off the Orlando attack! No decency.

But with continued stupidity abound in the Democratic press, the above is a concerted attempt to bring the reader out of the denial in what we face against terrorism, just as the below is meant to educate on another misconception... 

The USA has, by far, the highest per capita gun ownership in the world. Progressives will tell you that this is what makes America the Murder Capitol of Planet Earth. But we're not, and in this devastatingly effective Firewall, Bill Whittle shows why the center of Gun Nut Nation is in fact one of the safest places in the world.

Yet all we see and hear are the continued, misguided distractions: Democratic disruptions and filibusters, gun control compromises and other agreements with a feckless GOP, Trump and the NRA, moderating, not moderating, none of which would have stopped this latest jihadi. While I would confide that perhaps there should be some reasonable middle ground between Feinstein's ban and Cornyn's delay, we mustn't allow this distraction to take center stage. Instead, how about turning the focus away from the political gamesmanship to the genuine issue at hand?

RedState: After this past weekend’s terrorist attack/mass shooting in Orlando, the usual suspects (Democrats) began the drumbeat for gun control afresh.

This limp-wristed, knee-jerk reaction to every gun tragedy is not without an ultimate goal. No, it’s not to prevent more gun deaths. A populace disarmed is a populace in chains. Democrats know this.

On the Senate floor today, Senator Cruz took the Democrats to task.

"This week played out all too predictably... This is political distraction; this is political gamesmanship. And I think the American people find it ridiculous... this is not a gun-control issue. This is a terrorism issue."

And I have to add, the unwillingness of the Democrats to observe a moment of silence for Orlando’s victims, choosing instead to act as the unwashed mob and shout about their agenda instead shows how low Democrats have sunk. There is a time to talk business, but sometimes, decency dictates you make those small shows of unity.

Why is it so hard for our supposed leaders to secure the liberties of our citizenry by foremost defeating our enemies? In either regard, it's unfortunate, but I fear they'd rather deny us liberty and victory over securing or leading.

"President Obama is responsible for ensuring American’s safety, and protecting the Bill of Rights and Constitution. Instead of doing this, Obama is campaigning against Americans and the Second Amendment. ... Who will defend the Bill of Rights? Right now it’s not Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, or the Democrats, but it is Ted Cruz." ~ Mark Levin, 6/16/16

ADDENDUM: via Levin...

"The radical Muslim and mass murderer, Omar Mateen, received full background checks for a security contractor position and passed. He was also placed on an FBI watch list and then removed. The whole notion that a watch list would have stopped this guy while the FBI had a file on him is ridiculous. Ironically, Matten was rejected for body armor but approved for more weapons." ~ ML, 6/16/16
