You really think we take this propaganda seriously? We must remember #TerrorismHasNoReligion — CAIR National (@CAIRNational) November 14, 2015 Last time I looked, I didn’t see any backrow Baptists throwing lead from AK-47’s and dressing themselves in the latest couture of plastic explosives.

"No challenge poses a greater threat to our future than climate change." —@POTUS: http://t.co/WHt0jT8KmX #ActOnClimate — White House Archived (@ObamaWhiteHouse) August 25, 2015 Would you like to reconsider this pronouncement given the 15 year old emergent threat that just killed 158+ people in Paris? With one attacker heard to be saying “This is for Syria”? Methinks … Read more
What for, you ask? Well, according to a Clinton former staffer and creator of a new online forum called #Hillarymen, liberal dudes need a comfortable, safe spot for them to “openly support a female candidate” and “identify and fight back against sexism in the 2016 race.”
You read that right.

Obama Admin Moves to Speed Up Admission of More Syrian Refugees
On today’s GrokTALK!, it came to our attention that the first of Obama’s 10,000 Syrian refugees were deposited in Louisiana (of course, a Red State whose governor, Bobby Jindal, has been quite outspoken against Obama – that old “punish our enemies” schtick). And he’s promising more to be delivered. And here’s this morning’s backdrop:

ISIS promised us that they were going to embed ISIS soldiers / terrorists amongst the millions of Muslim refugees flowing into Europe. Promise Kept. And this:
Cicero: You may not be interested in politics but be assured, politics is interested in you.
Muslim Jihadist translation: You may not be interested in our Jihad but be assured, we don’t care what you think.
A couple more tidbits from last night; be prepared for more. Why? See above.
1. In summer 2014, Newsweek reported on polling that indicated one in six French citizens, or 16 percent, sympathizes with ISIS. The ISIS approval number spikes to 27 percent (over one in four) in the fighting-age demographic, ages 18 to 24.
Just a few more weeks…
Tomorrow on GrokTALK! starting at 9am EST we present a Grok Blogger round table discussion with Kim Gilbert, Skip Murphy, Scott Morales, Mike Rogers, Kimberly Morin, Susan Olson, myself, and perhaps other Groksters as well.

City Journal, circa 1997. Dr. Theodore Dalrymple advises against the practice of legalizing drugs. (Marijuana is not mentioned but arguments justifying legalization of other drugs are similar and discussed.)
UPDATE: It’s back up now, but I confirmed that it was OoO (Out of Office) for a while. (H/T: Kimberly)
I know. I never pushed out a week 9 Pats post. The Redskins hardly seemed worth the effort. As a consolation, who had the overly bright idea of dressing the Jets and Bills like they were Christmas elves in the winter football carnival? If only it were snowing and the cheerleaders were dressed like Reindeer. … Read more
This is a short lecture given by Jonathan Haidt at the William F. Buckley Jr. Program at Yale University. Coddling U. vs. Strengthening U. Which is better for students in the era of diversity? H/T to Kevin Kervick.
There have been multiple deaths outside a restaurant and theater–where as many as 100 people are held hostage. Explosions have been reported as well. Washington Times Two police officials said at least 35 people have been killed in shootings and explosions around Paris Friday, in the deadliest violence in France in decades. A police official … Read more
Yep, that’s Hillary all right: a Vision for prosperity, extreme Loyalty, Courage to stand up, Smart Power, Fiscal Responsibility, Private Sector success, Job creation; what a candidate! Yup, that’s right: “technically allowed to run for President” (H/T: Progressives Today)
UPDATE: 1500 French soldiers deployed in Paris, checkpoints established, and 158 people have been murdered.
UPDATE – Fox News reporting that 1 person has been arrested: “I am from Syria and I am from ISIS“.
My plan was to do a long post on the Cultural Marxism activism that is running rampant through our colleges and universities these last couple of weeks (even as that same anti-American sentiment has been capturing those units of American institutions for decades – having indoctrinated several generation, it may have finally come to fruition). Reality has decided otherwise.
Fox News is now reporting that up to 6 7 sites were attacked with much pre-meditation, large resources, and reports of “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great! – the Islamic war cry); of those 6 attacks, the soccer field where a match between France and Germany was going on with about 60K people were in the stands is reportedly the main target (and explosions there were heard) and two of the attacks were by suicide bombers. This is going to turn out badly, to the point that the President of France has closed its borders and is calling out the military. One Hundred concert goers are being held hostage – news now is that they are being executed one by one in that concert hall. NOW, 5 more explosions happening in and around that hall.
I have two questions:
I found a fine glossy piece of mail in my mailbox today, addressed to my wife. It promotes Senator Ayotte’s environmental street cred as a way to build a mailing list. The purveyors want you to “say thank you” to the Senator for her defense of statist environmental policy the environment. By defense, they mean her vocal support for executive action and use of the bureaucracy to place a shadow tax on electricity forever without legislative consequence under the Obama Clean Power Plan.
The problem is, of course, that if you support that, you aren’t really a Republican even if you have registered as one. You are a Democrat, a progressive, and – like the sponsors of the mailer – on a mission to advance a centrally planned statist agenda whether you mean to or not.
“According to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, approximately 11.4 million individuals in the U.S. illegally paid $11.84 billion in state and local taxes in 2012. The conservative Heritage Foundationestimated unlawful immigrant households paid $39.2 billion in 2010, but received $93.7 billion in government services.” (H/T: The Blaze)
Pitiful, simply pitiful. Here we have a college co-ed, a national spokesdweeb for the Million Student Day to Demand Silly Stuff Because They Don’t Want To Pay For It (aka “Student Million March”), made the fatal mistake of coming onto a show where the host understands how to ask very simple questions. Students want:
You do need to listen to this sad sack of a superficial simpleton – I present Keely Martin, completely adrift in things economic:
Apparently, this Free Rider has never learned the moral of TANSTAAFL. Neil Cavuto (Fox News, 4pm) EVISERATES her even as she stands there with the sharp edge of a single question: “And how is that going to be paid“?
