Liberals Defend “Allahu Akbar” But Blast “Thoughts And Prayers”

Liberals never fail to stun me.

Following the mass shooting Sunday morning in Texas, where suspected atheist shooter Devin Patrick Kelley killed 26 men, women and children at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, a number of prominent liberals took to Twitter to blast Christians for responding to the attack with “thoughts and prayers.”

While some aimed their ire at House Speaker Paul Ryan, others seemed to direct their misplaced rage at any Christian who responded to the tragedy with “thoughts and prayers”:

From what I know thus far about Kelley, I suspect he would have agreed with these anti-Christian fat cats.

Moving on …

Contrast these reactions to the way the left responded when Islamist terrorist Sayfullo Saipov plowed through a crowd of pedestrians in New York City last week as he reportedly yelled out, “Allahu Akbar!”

It’s just unbelievable …

Though on the other hand, it does explain why liberals continue to lose election after election after election after election:

Because, frankly, they live in an upside-down world where good is bad, bad is good, “Allahu Akbar” is beautiful and “thoughts and prayer” are dumb.

Navy Investigating 60 Admirals In Corruption Scandal Centering On Prostitutes And Luxury Gifts

The latest fallout from the Navy’s investigation into the “Fat Leonard” corruption scandal has left 440 active duty and retired personnel, including 60 admirals, under review for their conduct.

The “Fat Leonard” scandal involved Malaysian contractor Leonard Glenn Francis, who obtained classified information in order to get huge contracts for his Glenn Defense Marine Asia company (GDMA) by offering officers expensive parties, luxury gifts, and prostitutes in ports from Vladivostok, Russia to Brisbane, Australia, according to The Washington Post.

Of the 440 people under review, according to the Navy, 230 were not guilty of misconduct. But 28 people, including two admirals, have had criminal charges filed against them by the Justice Department. Although some of the people under review may not be prosecutable in civil court, they may have committed offenses prosecutable in the military justice system.

Five people have been charged with crimes under military law; according to the Navy, 40 other people committed misconduct by violating ethics rules or other regulations, but were not charged with a criminal violation.

Last May, Admiral Robert Gilbeau was convicted of lying to investigators about his relationship with Francis; he was the first active-duty admiral convicted of a federal crime and sentenced to 18 months in jail.

In mid-August, an active-duty US Navy commander, Bobby Pitts, 48, pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the Navy in connection with an investigation into Francis. Prosecutors said Pitts shared internal Navy documents about the investigation with Francis, and helped Francis cover up GDMA’s fraudulent practices.

Pentagon: Ground Invasion ‘Only Way’ to Fully Disarm North Korean Nuclear Program

An analysis by the Pentagon has determined that a ground invasion of North Korea would be the “only way” to fully disarm the country of its nuclear arsenal.

“The only way to ‘locate and destroy – with complete certainty – all components of North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs’ is through a ground invasion,” wrote Rear Admiral Michael Dumont on behalf of the Pentagon Chiefs of Staff, in response to a question from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) about the escalating conflict.

Dumont added that a ground invasion would increase the risk of a nuclear counter-attack as forces attempted to locate, and consequently disable, its “deeply buried, underground facilities.”

“A classified briefing is the best venue for a detailed discussion,” he said.

A group of former military veterans-turned-congressmen – all Democrats except Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) – described the findings in a joint statement as “deeply disturbing” and expressed fears of a conflict that “could result in hundreds of thousands or even millions of deaths in just the first few days of fighting.”

“Their assessment underscores what we’ve known all along: there are no good military options for North Korea,” the joint statement said. “The President needs to stop making provocative statements that hinder diplomatic options and put American troops further at risk.”

“It is our intent to have a full public accounting of the potential cost of war, so the American people understand the commitment we would be making as a nation if we were to pursue military action,” it continued.

A poll in September found that nearly half of Americans support military action against North Korea should it be necessary.

As North Korean officials continue to escalate the rhetoric, President Donald Trump has declared that America would “totally destroy” North Korea if forced to do so and has also described dictator Kim Jong-un as a “little rocket man” carrying out a “suicide mission.”

North Korea has threatened to deliver the United States an “unimaginable strike at an unimaginable time,” claiming they could turn the United States into a “pile of ash.”

In October, diplomats in both Japan and South Korea warned that North Korea’s capacity to use nuclear weapons is “imminent” following the testing of its sixth hydrogen bomb in September.

The assessment was released during Donald Trump’s tour of Asia, where he is seeking to build consensus amongst the region’s leaders around an effective solution to the crisis, as well as warn of potential trade risks for China and other nations dealing with the North Korean regime.

In a speech in Japan on Saturday, Trump warned the region’s “tyrants and dictators” of overall American strength.

“History has proven over and over that the road of the tyrant is a steady march towards poverty, suffering, and servitude,” Trump said. “But the path of strong nations and free peoples, certain of their values and confident in their futures, is a proven path to prosperity and peace.”

“We dominate the sky. We dominate the sea. We dominate the land and space,” he added.

PragerU: Why No One Trusts The Mainstream Media

In a new Prager University video, veteran journalist and former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson notes that “trust in the media is at an all-time low… and for good reason.”

“We in the business of journalism have exempted ourselves from the normal rules that used to govern us, and so the most egregious kinds of reporting errors are becoming more common,” she says.

“Formerly well-respected news organizations and experienced national reporters are making the sorts of mistakes that wouldn’t be tolerated in journalism school,” she explains. “When these mistakes are corrected at all, it’s with seemingly little regret.”

Atkisson describes how the mainstream media went from simply reporting the news to offering their commentary as fact.

“First, firewalls that once strictly separated news from opinion have been replaced by hopelessly blurred lines,” she adds. “Once-forbidden practices, such as editorializing within straight news reports and the inclusion of opinions as if fact, are not only tolerated… they’re encouraged. The result: It’s never been harder for Americans to separate news that’s real from news that’s not.”

She cites the infamous New York Times article “Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump Behaved with Women in Private,” where staff writers Michael Barbaro and Megan Twohey interviewed one of the President’s ex-girlfriends.

Barbaro and Twohey describe the president as a chauvinist who treats women very poorly behind-the-scenes. After the article was published, the former girlfriend called out the Times for deliberately deceiving and twisting her words in the article. The former newspaper has never issued an apology.

Atkisson is well-equipped to discuss fake news infiltrating the mainstream media. She resigned from CBS after having her perceived negative article on the Obama Administration shut down. She wrote about the experience in her books Stonewalled and The Smear.

Watch the new PragerU video below:

Atkisson currently hosts the news program Full Measure with Sharyl Atkisson for the Sinclair Television Group.

“Stay Tuned” Sean Hannity Warns Bombshell Story on Horizon ‘TICK TOCK’

“Stay Tuned” Sean Hannity Warns Bombshell Story on Horizon ‘TICK TOCK’

November 6, 2017
by Cristina Laila

Conservative powerhouse Sean Hannity fired off a ‘Tick Tock’ warning to his millions of Twitter followers Monday and told everybody to “stay tuned”.

‘Tick Tock. Stay tuned.’ Hannity tweeted.

Hannity often tweets ‘tick tock’ when he has a bombshell story on the horizon.

Last week Hannity warned he had big news on Obama. It was later revealed former President Obama ensured the exportation process of uranium to Canada went through amid fears the Russians would put U.S. national security at risk with a pump and dump scheme, TGP’s Josh Caplan reported.

What will this week’s bombshell story be? The Podesta drama is heating up. Perhaps he has info on the Mueller witch hunt?

Stay tuned. The Gateway Pundit will update as more information becomes available.

Crooked Cop Comey Officially ‘Comes Out’ on Twitter

Crooked Cop Comey Officially ‘Comes Out’ on Twitter

November 6, 2017
by Cristina Laila

Crooked cop Comey has been ‘undercover’ on Twitter under the name ‘Reinhold Niebuhr since 2014.

In March, Gizmodo sleuth Ashley Feinberg figured out which account he was operating in stealth.

Comey sent out a series of cryptic tweets in the last couple of weeks, taking jabs at President Trump. He is now fully out on Twitter and even changed his handle to @Comey. Twitter also verified his account with a blue check mark.

Comey sent out a tweet, “Here’s my new handle. Glad to be part of the Twitterverse. Grateful to Reinhold for the cover these last few years.”

Ashley Feinberg revealed Comey’s connection to the name ‘Reinhold Niebuhr’.

By senior year, Comey was a double major in religion and chemistry, writing a senior thesis on theologian Reinhold Niebuhr and televangelist Jerry Falwell and on his way to the University of Chicago Law School.”

Comey’s arrogance is astounding. The name of his new book ‘A Higher Loyalty’ is a slap in the face to Americans. He let Hillary Clinton off the hook knowing she put the country in danger exchanging classified info on her private server.

Even his Twitter bio is nauseating. “Formerly , past FBI Director, current husband and father, writing and speaking about ethical leadership, taller and funnier in person.”

Speaking about “ethical leadership”? Seriously?

Comey needs to be fully investigated. Paging AG Sessions!

America’s Big Border Question For Immigrants Ought To Be: What Can You Do For Me?

Via Washington Times:

Let’s just cut through the clutter of all the border control proposals, packages, deals and discussions that have marked U.S. politics for the past, oh, let’s say, gazillion campaign seasons, and narrow it down to one consideration and one consideration alone: What can you do for America?

That’s the question that should be first and foremost asked of anyone seeking permanent or semi-permanent entry to America’s soil.

That’s really the only question that matters.

What can you, oh mighty migrant, oh wanna-be refugee, oh hopeful immigrant — what can you bring to the table that betters America?

And if the answer is lame — if the answer is all about what America can provide, what America can offer — slam! Sorry, don’t let the door hit you.

A majority merit-based system is the way to go.

America’s immigration policy should be almost entirely about the U.S. of A., and almost not at all about the plight of the one knocking at our doors. This isn’t so much selfish as safety-conscious.

Keep reading…
