President Obama Arms Terrorists- Not Our Men and Women on U.S. Bases

Family Security Matters - Who's to blame for the Navy Yard massacre?  Aaron Alexis.   Alexis followed the religion of Buddhism but he wasn't yelling ‘Buddha is Greatest' as he murdered our servicemen and women.

Aaron Alexis was outspoken about his mental condition long before his Navy Yard massacre.  Alexis sought treatment for insomnia, hearing voices, and feeling vibrations from microwave antennas before his murderous rampage.

It is near impossible to defend oneself against the violent acts of a lone psychotic when mental health professionals can no longer easily institutionalize violent patients.  That is where the story of Aaron Alexis ends and Military Base security begins.

America Is Desensitized to Mass Shootings

America is officially desensitized to mass shootings like at the Navy Yard, Ft. Hood, Sandy Hook, Columbine, Virginia Tech, and the Aurora Theatre, etc.... and there are many more you never heard about as listed in this article.

Military Base Safety Solution

The easy solution is you allow military men and women with concealed weapons permits to carry on base.  An armed man or woman inside the target facility can kill the shooter long before the police can analyze the situation and send in tactical teams to kill or capture the shooter.  An armed victim is never a victim.

House to consider authorizing military force against Iran

Joel Gehrke - House lawmakers will consider authorizing the use of military force against Iran, even though President Obama has not yet requested it, in order to avoid a repeat of the apparent fumbling that characterized the chief executive's push for military force against Syria.

"We must handle the nuclear threat in Iran with a more focused and proactive policy than we used in responding to the chemical threat in Syria," said Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who plans to introduce the resolution next week.

Franks told the Republican Study Committee Sept. 11 that he would offer the resolution, an aide to the lawmaker told the Washington Examiner. In his Friday statement, Franks said that Iran could have the ability to build a nuclear weapon within a year.

"If we authorize the use of military force now, it will strengthen the president's hand in any potential talks with Iran," he said. "If we do not, the president may rely on reactionary efforts, much like the debacle in Syria. For the sake of our national security, the security of our allies, and global stability, more generally, we must have every option available in advance."   More   PTG

Household income in nation’s capital rises as rest of the country declines

Caroline May - While the residents of most states and localities have seen their incomes decline since 2000, the population of the nation’s capital experienced something quite different.

The Census Bureau released national income data for 2011 and 2012 from the U.S. Census Bureau’s “American Community Survey,” Thursday revealing that from 2000 to 2012 the District of Columbia enjoyed the largest increase in median household income — from $53,995 to $66,583 or 23.3 percent — during that period.

For perspective, across the United States median income declined by 6.6 percent from 2000-2012 from $55,030 to $51,371.

The real Reagan record on civil rights

Michael Taube - Hollywood's liberal establishment often claims that freedom of expression creates a more vivid landscape for motion pictures. The desire for artistic liberty in popular films such as "Lincoln," "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" is said to trump the need for historical accuracy.

However, placing real-life events on the back burner isn't something to be admired. It provides Tinseltown with ample opportunity to launch further attacks against certain public figures and rewrite history as it sees fit.

We can add Ronald Reagan's treatment in "The Butler" to the list. This film is a loosely based account of former White House head butler Eugene Allen's 34-year career (1952-1986). It's a good movie overall, and will likely be a strong contender at next year's Oscars.

Naturally, I don't want to spoil the film's plot, but I will say this much: When it comes to re-enacting Mr. Allen's life story in the imaginary guise of Cecil Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker, it would be inaccurate to say that filmmakers think honesty is the best policy.  More   PTG

California college bars student from handing out copies of Constitution


Fox News - The Constitution guarantees the right to free speech, but don’t try to pass out copies of it at Modesto Junior College in California.

A student at the school who tried to pass out pocket-size pamphlets of the very document that memorializes our rights got shut down on Sept. 17 – a date also known as Constitution Day.

 Campus authorities told 25-year-old Robert Van Tuinen, who caught the whole thing on videotape, he could only pass out the free documents at a tiny designated spot on campus, and only then if he scheduled it several days in advance.

“Watching the video is a combination of depressing and nauseating, to see what rigamarole students have to go through just to express themselves on campus,” said Robert Shibley, senior vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which has taken on campus speech codes around the nation.   Read More


Journalism Professor Says He Hopes for Murder of NRA Members' Children


Rep. Frank Wolf Demands FBI Punish Agents For Outreach to CAIR

Wolf Demands FBI Punish Agents For CAIR Contact

Investigative Project of Terrorism - On a day when the Council on American-Relations (CAIR) issued a report accusing its critics of bigotry, a Justice Department investigation reminds the public why CAIR does not merit the public's trust.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz found a series of incidents in which FBI field offices knowingly engaged in outreach activity with CAIR despite a 2008 policy banning non-investigative cooperation with the Islamist group.

Only a summary of the report has been released publicly. The rest is considered classified, but has been made available to Congress.

The ban on interactions with CAIR, first reported by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, resulted from an FBI investigation into a Muslim Brotherhood-created Hamas-support network in the United States.

Internal documents seized by the FBI show that CAIR and its founders, Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, were a part of that network known as the Palestine Committee. Both men appear on a telephone list of Palestine Committee members (Awad is listed under a pseudonym "Omar Yehya), and CAIR is listed on a meeting agenda listing the committee's branches.

"[U] ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS," an FBI official wrote in 2009, "the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner."   More   PTG
