Some excerpts [W]when the architect of the Islamic State died, he left something behind that he had intended to keep strictly confidential: the blueprint for this state. It is a folder full of handwritten organizational charts, lists and schedules, which describe how a country can be gradually subjugated.

“Iran is essentially building an arc of dominance from Tehran through Baghdad and Damascus to Beirut on the Mediterranean.” [Darleen Click]
Heck of a job, Barry. While Washington focuses on Iran-U.S. nuclear talks, the Islamic Republic is making a major but little-noticed strategic advance. Iran’s forces are quietly occupying more of Iraq in a way that could soon make its neighbor a de facto Shiite satellite of Tehran. That’s the larger import of the dominant role Iran and its Shiite militia proxies are playing in the military offensive to take back
“What ISIS Really Wants” [Darleen Click]
Here’s Obama, yet again, declaring ISIS and Al Qaeda as “No True Muslim” First, we have to confront squarely and honestly the twisted ideologies that these terrorist groups use to incite people to violence. Leading up to this summit, there’s been a fair amount of debate in the press and among pundits about the words we use to describe and frame this challenge. So I want to be very clear
#JobsForISIS — Say, what? [Darleen Click]
This is your brain on Obama — Harf: Well, I think there’s a few stages here. Right now what we’re is trying to take their leaders and their fighters off the battlefield in Iraq and in Syria; that’s really where they flourish. Matthews: Are we killing enough of them? Harf: We’re killing a lot of them and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so
“Even when a British Muslim beheads a British Christian, there will always be those who blame the Jews” [Darleen Click]
If I was conspiracy minded, I’d wonder what the Clinton’s had on John Kerry to make him continue to be the worst Secretary of State to date in order to make Hillary look great in comparison. Economics Minister and Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett fired back at US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday, after the latter claimed Israel’s failures to forge a peace deal with the intransigent Palestinian
Obama on 60 Minutes tosses James Clapper under the bus on ISIS [Darleen Click]
Barry, Himself, is always blameless … On 60 Minutes, the president faulted his spies for failing to predict the rise of ISIS. There’s one problem with that statement: The intelligence analysts did warn about the group. Nearly eight months ago, some of President Obama’s senior intelligence officials were already warning that ISIS was on the move. In the beginning of 2014, ISIS fighters had defeated Iraqi forces in Fallujah, leading
The rapes in Rotherham were possible because of The Left [Darleen Click]
When “good” and “evil” become moot, and everything is viewed through the lens of Race, Gender, Class, the question is not “How did this ever happen in a Western City?” but “How many more Rotherhams are waiting to be uncovered?” The enemy is us. Who could read about 15 years of rape and abuse, happening while authorities feared breaking the rules of political correctness by questioning cultural practices? Download the
Religion of Peace™ JV Team beheads American photojournalist [Darleen Click]
RIP James Foley James Foley, an American journalist who went missing in Syria more than a year ago, has reportedly been executed by the Islamic State, a militant group formerly known as ISIS. A YouTube video and photos purportedly of Foley emerged on Tuesday. The video — entitled “A Message to #America (from the #IslamicState)” — identified a man on his knees as “James Wright Foley,” and showed his beheading.
“You want Nazis?” [Darleen Click]
Mark Steyn There have been Christians in Mosul for just shy of two millennia, since the first century. There are none today. The Yazidi are practitioners of Kurdistan’s oldest religion, fire-worshippers whose presence in the region predates Islam. They’re either being executed or starved to death on a mountain: We are being slaughtered. Our entire religion is being wiped off the face of the earth. ISIS are fast-track Nazis. No
