Fmr. CIA Head:
Hillary’s Email Server Was Compromised By Foreign Intel Services [AUDIO]
Excerpt: Former acting CIA director Michael Morell said he
believes former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Homebrew email server was
indeed compromised by foreign intelligence services. Morell, who served as both
deputy director and acting director of the CIA during his four year tenure
(2010-2013) made the remark to radio host Hugh
Hewitt Friday afternoon as he continued promoting his new book
on America ’s
war on terror. (Several very interesting comments on site. --Barb)
Newsmax Pledged $1
Million to Clinton
Excerpt: "Newsmax, a conservative news organization,
last year pledged $1 million to the Clinton Foundation over a five-year period,
according to a spokesman for Chris Ruddy, the organization’s CEO. Mr. Ruddy has
been friends with the Clintons
since 2007," reports the Journal. "Through a spokesman, he said
the donation wasn't tantamount to an endorsement of Mrs. Clinton’s potential campaign,
though he thinks she would 'make a great presidential candidate.'"
Remember that Time
the Clintons
Excerpt: Hillary and Bill Clinton claimed they were “dead broke” upon leaving office in 2001.
But things seem to have gotten better for the powerful
couple. According to disclosure forms released Friday, the Clintons made more than $25 million on
the paid speaking circuit since January of 2014. The Washington Post also reported that Hillary Clinton
earned more than $5 million for her memoir, “Hard Choices”:
Middle Class Champion: Clintons
Excerpt: Hillary Rodham Clinton and former president Bill
Clinton earned in excess of $25 million for delivering 104 speeches

according to the report. Police say Morton initially claimed the student
was a stranger she'd just met because she was lonely. The unidentified student
later told police she was his principal.
How the Illiberal
Left Uses Silencing Tactics. By Kirsten Powers
Excerpt: Liberals are supposed to believe in protecting
minority views, even when they disapprove of those views. Instead an online mob
of presumably “liberal” people tweeted about Eich’s donation, many calling him
a bigot and homophobe for supporting Prop 8. Remember, this proposition passed
the same year Senator Barack Obama sat in Rick Warren’s church to explain
his religious based opposition to same-sex marriage. Eich took the time to
address the criticisms.
Excerpt: When I think about America, I think of the Founding
Fathers who were willing to “mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our
Fortunes and our sacred Honor,” to defeat Great Britain and make this a free
country. I think of John Paul Jones saying, "I wish to have no connection
with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way."
I think not only of the brave men who died fighting for their countrymen at the
Alamo, but of Sam Houston and his force slaughtering a Mexican force twice
their size in retaliation during the Battle of San Jacinto. I think of Teddy
Roosevelt getting shot in the chest by an assassin at a political rally and
then FINISHING his 90 minute speech before getting medical attention. (We
better remember that it wasn’t our wonderful communication skills and
sensitivity to people’s feelings that made this a great nation. We became a
superpower because we out-built, out-fought and outworked everyone else. What
the hell has happened to us? --Steve)
Amtrak crash spurs
finger pointing in Congress
Excerpt: "While Democrats have bitterly complained
about the level of funding for Amtrak, it wasn’t that long ago that Democrats
were in charge of Congress – giving them the chance to boost Amtrak’s budget.
In the 2009 economic stimulus law, $1.3 billion was provided to Amtrak, which was
used for a variety of smaller projects, many for new wheelchair lifts and for
compliance with the Americans with Disability Act. Here is the state-by-state
list for Amtrak’s stimulus plans:..." (Rush Limbaugh noted day after
accident that Amtrak has been in Obama's stimulus bill and wished someone would
look up the expense items from that funding. Mr. Dupree has done this and
posted it on his site. Mr. Dupree commented, "It'll make your blood
boil." --Barb)
FBI probes report
that projectile hit Amtrak train that derailed
Excerpt: An assistant conductor aboard the Amtrak train that
derailed Tuesday said she believes she heard a radio transmission between the
engineer and another operator in which he said the train had been struck by
something just before the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board said
Friday. NTSB member Robert Sumwalt said investigators found damage to the
left-hand side of the train’s windshield and had called on the FBI to inspect
it because of that agency’s forensic expertise. (Unless it caused the engineer
to hit the throttle, I don't see how this would cause the crash. ~Bob)

Excerpt: A federal judge on Friday denied Wisconsin Supreme
Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson an injunction that would have restored her to
the chief justice post she lost after a referendum last month. U.S. District

challenge in federal court continues. He added that he sees no signs of
Roggensack making any wholesale changes to the court’s functions as chief

Zuckerberg Ally, H1-B Advocate: Laid-off Americans 'Don't Work Hard Enough'
Excerpt: During a recent National
Journal LIVE event, venture capitalist Lars Dalgaard, who is closely
affiliated with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s lobbying group FWD.us,
suggested that the reason hundreds of American STEM (science,
technology, engineering and math) and information technology (IT) workers
at Southern California Edison utilities
company were being laid off and replaced with foreign workers on H1B
visas is because they “don’t work hard enough.” FWD.us has openly lobbied for
raising the cap on the number of H1-B visas permitted annually as part of
President Barack Obama’s comprehensive immigration reform program, which
critics refer to as executive amnesty. As Breitbart News previously reported, the multi-billion dollar utilities company
Southern California Edison has laid off scores of American IT workers,
replacing them with foreign labor–specifically workers who are in the U.S. on
H1-B visas and who are typically willing to work for far less compensation. (And
that bottom line has nothing to do with it. Right. The outsourcing mentality
started years ago with Clinton , with US
manufacturing bases moving to China ,
Hong Kong and Mexico for
cheap labor. Now they want to import cheap labor and displace natives. Changing
the racial mix to something more pliable and able to be controlled; no
allegiance to America and
its culture, able to be programmed? Just like chickens with Avian flu,
natural-born and properly naturalized American citizens will be a vanishing
species. --Barb)
ABC Publishes AP
Report Hitting ABC
Excerpt: In what may be the oddest publicity move of the
year, ABC News has published a report stating that ABC faces a credibility
crisis concerning “GMA” and “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos. That,
or some poor intern is being stuffed into a closet as we speak. Stephanopoulos
came under fire this week for donating $75,000 to the Clinton Global
Foundation.
Excerpt: Studies show there are three
things you can do that will almost guarantee you will never live in
poverty: (1) finish high school, (2) get a full time job and (3) get married,
but wait until you are 21 and don’t have children until you are married. Do
these three things and it’s very unlikely you will be poor. If you are, you
won’t be poor for very long. So how does public policy affect these choices?
Inner city schools dominated by powerful teacher unions are not meeting the
needs of poor minority students. The welfare state (185 federal/state means
test programs) is designed from top to bottom to encourage single motherhood
and penalize marriage. And virtually every public policy you can think of is
making it more expensive to hire workers.
4 US Cities Named
“Most Violent” in the World… Here’s the 1 Thing They Have in Common
Excerpt: Mexico ’s
“Citizens’ Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice” recently compiled
a list of the 50 most violent cities in the world, and it is quite shocking. It
is important to note that this list did not include cities that are within a
“war zone,” and many cities simply do not report their murder rate. The United States
has the disturbing honor of having four cities make the list. Detroit , New Orleans , Baltimore and St.
Louis now have the distinction of being some of the
most deadly cities in the world.
Fetal science
confronts abortion fanaticism
Excerpt: Last Wednesday, the New England Journal of Medicine
published a study on the viability of premature babies. It found that hospitals
that make the effort have effectively reduced the term of fetal viability. There
was once a time when babies born prematurely at 23 weeks of pregnancy were
considered dead on arrival. But with ever-improving medical techniques, they
can sometimes now be saved at 22 weeks with the right sort of intervention, and
may not even suffer health problems later. Some doctors are calling this a new
potential point of viability.
Barack Obama’s true nuclear test: North Korea : Detractors and supporters say the

but his nonproliferation legacy could ultimately hinge on a country further to
the east — one that already has nuclear weapons and is led by an unpredictable
30-something.
When it comes to curbing North Korea ’s nukes, even

Interesting: The ACA’s Unintended Consequences.
Obamacare will depress wages and productivity. By Casey B. Mulligan
http://www.city-journal.org/2015/eon0514cm.html
Excerpt: As a Supreme Court decision looms next month in King v. Burwell, which could determine the future of Obamacare, much of the economic discussion surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) focuses, understandably, on the law’s effects on insurance premiums and on the delivery of health care. But the ACA also has significant potential to affect the allocation of labor—and thus wages—throughout the U.S. economy, through its penalties for employers that don’t provide health insurance for their workers as well as through its subsidies for individuals to purchase health insurance (the latter of which is the subject of the King case). The employer penalties and the individual subsidies will exert a downward effect on average wages and on wage patterns, across industry sectors and income levels. And because the law privileges certain kinds of businesses over others, it will also reduce productivity. One way to understand this is through Adam Smith’s theory of equalizing differences, through which we can trace and quantify the effects of the employer penalty and the exchange subsidies on wages and productivity. Doing so, I found that, overall, the ACA will reduce wages by $1,000 per year—or about 4 percent of wages for workers from low-income families and nearly 2 percent of wages for workers from higher-income families. Quite distinct from the ACA’s impact on insurance availability and on the quality of health care, these effects should be better understood. (And as time goes by, all the effects of this monster program will become evident, and surprise, there is a great deal of negativity on its way. In the end, yes, some people who didn't use to be able to get health insurance will do so. But a lot of others will either get less coverage for the same money they used to pay, or have to pay more money to get something like what they used to have, while taxpayers will be kicking in for the subsidies that will be keeping the poorer people in the system. And some people will simply not be able to get anything like the coverage they used to have. The bureaucracy will only get more huge, less efficient, and doctors will have more stress on them, while the insurance companies will make as much money as ever, maybe more. Such a deal! I really wonder what will happen when the full effect has hit. Maybe a revolt of sorts? We can hope. --Del )

Obamacare's Best
Defense? 'It Could Have Been Worse.' By Sally Pipes
Excerpt: Instead, Obamacare has made health costs worse —
much worse. It’s pushed both deductibles and premiums through the roof. As a
result, millions of consumers have been forced to buy overpriced insurance —
and yet still have to empty their wallets when they visit the doctor’s office. According
to the online insurance marketplace HealthPocket, deductibles shot up 42
percent during the health law’s first year, compared to those for plans
available pre-Obamacare. Today, almost
one in seven Americans spends 10 percent or more of his or her income
on out-of-pocket costs like deductibles.

The Death of the
Green Energy Movement. By Stephen Moore
Excerpt: The green energy movement in America is
dead. May it rest in peace. No, a majority of American energy over the next 20
years is not going to come from windmills and solar panels. One important
lesson to be learned from the green energy fad’s rapid and expensive demise is
that central planning doesn’t work. What crushed green energy was the boom in
shale oil and gas along with the steep decline in the price of fossil fuel that
few saw coming just a few years ago. A new International Energy Agency report
concedes that green energy is in fast retreat and is getting crushed by “the
recent drop in fossil fuel prices.” (Why the left hates fracking--it makes

The Status of Western
Military Aid to Kurdish Peshmerga Forces. By Lazar Berman
Excerpt: The Kurdish peshmerga forces (literally “those who
confront death”) have proven willing and able to stand up to the Islamic
State (formerly ISIS) on the battlefield. By contrast, two whole divisions
of the U.S.-trained and financed Iraqi Army, along with tens of thousands
of police and other paramilitary forces, fled in the face of the IS
onslaught in 2014, leaving behind advanced weaponry paid for by American
taxpayers for the jihadis and their Ba’athist allies to add to their
arsenal. (Nice article, and the simple question I have asked already is,
why in hell aren't we pouring every kind of military aid to these guys that we
can? The hell with the worries that they have in Baghdad
about the Kurds getting well armed, those idiots in Baghdad are a major part of the problem, not
the solution. The simplest, smartest, and easiest thing for us to do is support
the Kurds like our brothers, which will pay of very nicely, both in the results
against ISIS, keeping them from getting closer to Iran, and showing the world
that we can do the smart thing and take good care of those who fight the ones
we want fought. And the kind of stuff they need isn't even all that expensive,
especially compared to the billions we wasted on the Iraqi army. So why hasn't
this gone ahead like it should? Because of the total lack of effective,
competent, thinking leadership up in the White House. You really wonder whose
side is he on. --Del )

Excerpt: The debates can stretch from dusk to dawn,
punctuated by tearful speeches and forceful shouting matches, with accusations

their administrations to divest from companies that enable what they see as Israel ’s
mistreatment of Palestinians. And while no university boards or administrators
are heeding the students’ demands, the effort to pressure Israel appears to be
gaining traction at campuses across the country and driving a wedge between
many Jewish and minority students. (The Arabs who now call themselves
Palestinian want a two state solution: one for Hamas one for Fatah. with the
Jews dead. But no Muslim state recognizes the rights of woman and religious

She's listened to survivors tell how Christians and Yazidi women are being sold

sell to another religion -- only Sunni Muslim," Dogan said.
Excerpt: Rarely in the history of American foreign policy
has a U.S.

brand of Islamic jihad throughout the region and gain a path to becoming a
nuclear armed state. His withdrawal of all combat troops from Iraq in 2011,
coupled with his abetting of the false hopes of the Arab Spring, have given
rise to a strengthened Islamic State with ambitions for a transnational
caliphate.
The Failed Tactic of Flattering Islam Won’t Go Away.
By Bruce Thornton
Excerpt: The recent attack in Texas against a “draw Mohammed” event ended
up with two dead jihadis and widespread criticism of event organizer Pamela
Geller for “inciting” or “provoking” the assault on our First Amendment right
to free speech. The hypocrisies and ignorance behind such criticism have been
amply documented,
including by some on the left. But there’s another argument against
actions and events like Geller’s that needs dismantling. This is the received
wisdom that we should avoid criticizing Islamic doctrine or Mohammed because it
will alienate moderate Muslims who otherwise would help us against the
so-called “extremist” jihadists.

I'm More Hateful Than Pamela Geller. By David French
Excerpt: I've seen jihad up-close, in an Iraqi province
where jihadists raped women to shame them into becoming suicide bombers, where
they put bombs in little boys' backpacks then remotely detonated them at family
gatherings, where they beheaded innocent civilians while cheering wildly like
they were at a soccer match, and where they shot babies in the face to
"send a message" to their parents. I've seen the despair in the eyes
of the innocent victims of jihad, and - believe me - that despair is infinitely
greater than the alleged "anguish" caused by a few
cartoons. (It's an approach that not many would take, to just come right
out and say who you hate, have killed in the past, would be happy to kill more
of in the future, and why. Reminds me of why some of the Kit Carson scouts the
Marines had in Viet Nam ,
who were formerly with the VC and had been forced to witness some of the
carefully crafted atrocities their cadre inflicted on villagers, were so very
eager to find and kill those VC any way they could. Really seeing the horror
others inflict so enthusiastically on innocents does tend to make a decent man
want to wipe out those murderers early and often. but French will of course be
written off as one of those terrible, intolerant "Islamophobes" by
the PC crowd. Their understanding of reality is badly flawed, but they have the
advantage of knowing they are always right. It's that righteousness thing
again..... I like French, he writes well and from a solid base of real
understanding. --Del )

billion cubic meters to 1.5 billion. What the Seine is to Paris ,
the Zayanderud was to Isfahan – except the latter went bone-dry in
2010. Over two-thirds of Iran 's
cities and towns are "on the verge of a water crisis" that could
result in drinking water shortages; already, thousands of villages depend on
water tankers. Unprecedented dust storms disrupt
economic activity and damage health.
