Whether black, brown, or white, why doesn’t anyone ever think about what their lives would have been like if their forebears had remained in their native land?

Before agonizing over present conditions in the USA, what was their alternative, had their ancestors stayed in Nigeria, Guatemala, or (the former) Yugoslavia?

Regardless why they’re here, isn’t it fair to compare their American lot to where one would be otherwise, before complaining…or demanding reparations?

Check the Worldbank poverty map, then please explain why anyone from the areas noted in bright red would curse their existence and lot in life in America today?

Whether by acts of slavery, seagoing stow-aways, or perilous treks from Central America, today’s Americans owe yesterday’s immigrant forebears eternal gratitude…

…no matter what Life’s journey brought them here.

So, why the continued references to ‘reparations’?

Just wondering…

Somebody should tell Hillary Clinton’s front man errr…Trump, to shut up.

Trump said John McCain’s being captured in Vietnam didn’t make him a war hero.

Once more, Trump has let his alligator mouth overload his canary butt.

John McCain isn’t a hero because he was captured…

…but, because McCain (like thousands in U.S. wars) put himself in harms way, and ended up paying a steep price for it, spending years in the Hanoi Hilton…

…unlike Hillary Clinton’s front man errr… ‘draft-deferment specialist‘ Trump.

John McCain earned a ‘Red Badge of Courage’…the hard way…

…what color is Trump’s badge?

Kerry says ‘the UN has the right to vote on the Iran deal before Congress’…

…proving he’s just another elitist who sees the UN as ultimate authority.

The UN is made up of individual nations…each deserve to weigh in on issues, such as giving a terror-state billions of dollars, before UN delegates vote.

Someone should call John Kerry and advise him that America isn’t a dictatorship…

…yet.

And please remind him… it’s not ‘Death to UN’ chants being heard in Iran.

Congress can and should do the right thing, and kill this Iran deal.

Question is…do they have the courage to do the job they were elected to do?

Andrew McCarthy has an excellent article outlining why/how Congress can act.

With the blood of thousands of Americans on their hands, Obama has no moral authority to grant the removal of sanctions, or enabling Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

More importantly…Obama has no Constitutional authority to do so. Iran is a murderous nation and the global leader in financing terrorism worldwide.

Removing sanctions gives Iran hundreds of billions of dollars to continue its bloody work. Obama’s national security adviser admits Iran will use that cash for terrorism.

Our Constitution grants Congress the power ‘To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations…’ and power to ‘…define and punish Offences against the Law of Nations.’

Congress has the power, authority, and financial control to keep sanctions in place. Our government’s primary responsibility is to protect America, and its citizens.

Clearly, by this deal, Obama refuses to honor that responsibility

Congress should start doing its job…NOW.

Those who feel strongly can call their Representative or Senators…

…and demand they do so.

Obama’s assurance that ‘snap back’ sanctions will force Iran to comply is a lie.

The ‘snap back’ sanctions verbiage includes Iranian caveats: if sanctions are ‘snapped back’, Iran quits the deal…but with pockets of de-sanctioned cash.

Once hundreds of billions under sanction now will be lifted, Iran can squirrel away cash, set up sweetheart trade pacts, then violate the deal to their hearts content.

Iran’s leaders have violated and lied while under sanctions – who in their right mind thinks they won’t…once they’re OUT FROM UNDER the sanctions?

Now we learn, in this deal, U.S. inspectors are banned from inspection teams?

Only Obama (and Iran) could think this deal is golden.

Funny how one person’s ‘unwanted fetal tissue’ is another’s $30 profit center.

And tragic is their claim that killing the unborn helps save lives.

Even the most rabid pro-abortion activist must recognize that depraved reasoning.

Question for Planned Parenthood’s Sr. Medical Services Director…

…what wine do you suggest, to pair with a house salad and fetal body parts?

An undercover video has captured a Planned Parenthood Sr. Director of Medical Services discussing harvesting and selling aborted fetus body parts.

For decades, abortion supporters have claimed ‘it’s simply unviable body tissue’…

…until $30 is pressed into their hand, for a sudden ‘miraculously’ viable liver.

The real power of money: making the unviable…viable.

(Funny…we thought Liberals hated Capitalism…)

Anyone who thinks Obama’s Iran deal is good should read this compiled list.

(The Weekly Standard, Noah Pollak)

What we get:

–       Iran reduces by about half the number of centrifuges actively enriching uranium

–       Iran reduces its stockpile of enriched uranium from about five tons to 300 kilograms

–       Iran repurposes its heavy water reactor in Arak so it does not produce plutonium

–       An unspecified increase in inspections by the IAEA

What Iran gets:

Sanctions relief:

–       Almost every type of U.S., EU, and UN sanctions lifted

–       Repeal of six UN Security Council resolutions declaring the Iranian nuclear program illegal

–       Top IRGC and Quds Force terrorists removed from the sanctions list, including Qassem Suleimani, leader of Iran’s campaign against U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and Ahmad Vahidi, mastermind of the 1994 Jewish community center bombing in Argentina that killed 85 people

–       The removal from the sanctions list of approximately 800 people and legal entities, including 23 out of 24 Iranian banks

–       $100 to $150 billion to be unfrozen and given to Iran with no restrictions on its use to purchase arms and fund terrorism, including funding for Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Assad regime in Syria

Nuclear program:

–       Iran keeps every one of its nuclear centrifuges

–       Iran keeps its entire physical nuclear infrastructure, including the enrichment facilities at Fordow and Natanz and the nuclear reactor at Bushehr

–       Iran permitted to continue research and development on all of its advanced centrifuge designs, reducing nuclear breakout time at the end of the deal to weeks

–       Iran permitted to transition its allowed enrichment of uranium from older centrifuge designs to advanced designs

–       No “anywhere, anytime” inspections. Iran can delay inspection of any site for at least 24 days

–       No requirement that Iran fully disclose past nuclear weapons research and development (known as the PMD issue)

–       The P5+1 western powers pledge to collaborate with Iran on nuclear technology

–       Restrictions on enrichment – part of the “sunset” of the deal – are lifted after eight years

–       If Iran is thought to have violated the deal, in order to “snap back” sanctions a dispute resolution process must be undertaken that can last two and a half months, after which the matter can be referred to the UN Security Council. At the UNSC, the re-imposition of sanctions can be vetoed by Russia, which stands to earn billions of dollars from arms sales to a non-sanctioned Iran.

Concessions unrelated to nuclear program:  

–       Ballistic missile embargo lifted after eight years

–       Conventional arms embargo lifted after five years

–       Iran keeps U.S. hostages 

If you like ‘anywhere’, anytime’ inspection requirements, you can keep them?

So, that ‘anywhere’, anytime’ gem? Just another lie. Seems Obama’s deputy national security adviser is weaseling out of assurances made just months before.

Obama’s apologists may try to make the point that Rhodes was talking about anywhere/anytime inspection of ‘non-nuclear program’ related situations, but…

…evading a direct question about the lack of anywhere/anytime tells all. And, if they lied about that foundational necessity, you can bet the rest of the deal is lousy.

So…just another ‘if you like it, you can keep it’ lie.

You can’t keep your doctor…

You can’t keep your health plan…

You can’t keep your anywhere/anytime inspections to hold Iran accountable…

Got the picture?

A candidate who has demonstrated how to beat Democrats just threw his hat in.

Touted by a popular talk-radio host, as “…the one guy in the race with a conservative track record, the one guy in the race that has shown how to defeat the media and Democrat coordinated attacks on conservatives.  He’s shown how to hang in and be tough, and so he’s the one guy that has something other than promises to make.” (Rush Limbaugh, 07/13/15)

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is a welcome addition to the 2016 GOP field…

…and BlueCollar’s pick for the top of a Republican presidential ticket.
