The honor of it all aside, Rep. Paul Ryan would do well to decline the speakership of the House. For it is a poisoned chalice that is being offered to him. The Republican Party is not, as some commentators wail, in “chaos” today. It is in rebellion, in revolt, as it was in the early 1960s when Barry Goldwater’s true believers rejected Eisenhower Republicanism and Nelson Rockefeller to nominate the Arizona Senator for president. A similar and bristling hostility to today’s establishment has arisen, in the GOP Congress, the country, and the presidential race. The acrimony attendant to this militants revolt explains why Speaker John Boehner packed it in, singing ...

How Putin outwitted the West His Syrian intervention has made Obama and Cameron look weak and confusedSaddam Hussein hanged: is Iraq a better place? A safer place? Gaddafi murdered in front of the viewers: is Libya a better place? Now we are demonising Assad. Can we try to draw lessons? — Sergei Lavrov, Russian foreign minister, United Nations, 1 October Russia was right about Iraq and Libya, and America and Britain were dead wrong. Regime change doesn’t seem to have changed Middle Eastern countries for the better, as Vladimir Putin has been warning for years.

Russia's Putin, Saudi Defense Minister Agree to Cooperate in Syria by Reuters Oct 11 2015, 2:44 pm ET SOCHI — Russian warplanes pounded Syrian rebels unaffiliated with ISIS on Sunday, insurgents said, helping Moscow's ally, Bashar Assad, reclaim territory and dealing a fresh setback to the strategy of Washington and its allies. President Vladimir Putin — who has infuriated Assad's enemies in the United States, Europe, Turkey and the Arab world by bombing the rebels to protect him — reached out to one of the Syrian leader's fiercest opponents by meeting the powerful defense minister of Saudi Arabia. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group that ...
Who Is a Better Strategist: Obama or Putin?

Who Is a Better Strategist: Obama or Putin? Pitting a former KGB agent against a former community organizer and seeing what happens in Syria. Who’s the better grand strategist: Barack Obama or Vladimir Putin? That’s not quite the right question, of course, because both leaders depend to some degree on intelligence reports and advice from trusted advisors and not just their own judgment. Accordingly, any assessment of their relative performance is to some degree an evaluation not just of the individual leaders but also their respective foreign-policy brain trusts. Still, the buck does stop at the top, and Russia’s recent move into Syria has a lot of people wondering if the ...

The Obama administration has reached a deal on the Trans-Pacific Partnership aka Obamatrade. This sweeping international regulatory agreement, spanning 12 countries on four continents, would impact all the food, drugs, energy and communications we rely on every day, the way we do business and even how we are governed. Yet, like the Iranian nuclear pact, the details of Obamatrade remain shrouded in mystery. The administration has refused to release any details of the pact. But thanks to patriotic lawmakers including Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), who has read the agreement, we know Obamatrade poses a dire threat to our jobs and our Constitution. The TransPacific Partnership is more than ...

NYT op-ed columnist Roger Cohen argues for importing vast numbers of anti- Semites into Europe as payback for Christendom’s past anti-Semitism. Or something: Indifference Kills OCT. 8, 2015 Roger Cohen MILAN — “Indifference” is the word engraved on the stark wall at the entrance to Milan’s Holocaust memorial, housed beneath the central railway station from which Jews were deported to Auschwitz and other Nazi camps. The premises vibrate when trains depart overhead, as if mirroring the shudder the place provokes. A survivor of the deportation, Liliana Segre, whose father, Alberto, was killed at Auschwitz, suggested that “indifference” was the most ...

Remember that Ariel Castro guy in Cleveland who kidnapped three girls and kept them locked in his house for a decade? Well, that was wrong. But it would also be wrong to keep Ariel Castro locked out of moving to your country, according to the logic of one of the favorites for the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize.

What California can learn from Saudi Arabia’s water mystery

A decade ago, reports began emerging of a strange occurrence in the Saudi Arabian desert. Ancient desert springs were drying up. The springs fed the lush oases depicted in the Bible and Quran, and as the water disappeared, these verdant gardens of life were returning to sand. “I remember flowing springs when I was a boy in the Eastern Province. Now all of these have dried up,” the head of the country’s Ministry of Water told The New York Times in 2003. The springs had bubbled up for thousands of years from a massive aquifer system that lay underneath Saudi Arabia. Hydrologists calculated it was one of the world’s largest underground systems, holding as much groundwater ...

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. officials conclude Iran deal violates federal law By James Rosen FoxNews.com Published October 08, 2015 Some senior U.S. officials involved in the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal have privately concluded that a key sanctions relief provision – a concession to Iran that will open the doors to tens of billions of dollars in U.S.-backed commerce with the Islamic regime – conflicts with existing federal statutes and cannot be implemented without violating those laws, Fox News has learned. At issue is a passage tucked away in ancillary paperwork attached to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, as the Iran nuclear deal is formally known. ...
GERMANS TOLD: RETIRE LATER, SCRAP MINIMUM WAGE TO PAY FOR MIGRANTS

The head of one of Europe’s leading economic think tanks has called on Germany’s government to scrap the minimum wage and raise the country’s retirement age in order to cope with the huge influx of migrants now underway. Only by introducing such measures can the enormous costs associated with the flow be borne, he said. Germany will spend €6 billion on caring for the 800,000 migrants expected to arrive in the country by the end of this year. Last year just 400,000 people came to Germany, so the country has been hit hard financially as well as socially by the unexpected jump in costs. In order to avoid piling debts up on to later generations, the Ifo institute, based ...
HOW AMERICA SHOULD RESPOND TO RUSSIA’S SYRIA VENTURE: A GUIDE

To respond to Russia’s military campaign in Syria, first, we have to be realistic about the facts on the ground. Iraq and Syria, for all practical purposes, are failed states. There is no chance that either Iraq or Syria will ever be reconstituted as mandated by the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, which basically divided up control or influence over the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire between France and England. Since the combined remaining military forces of Hezbollah, the Iranian Quds Force and Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad have not been sufficient to assure Assad’s survival, Russia’s deployment of its air and marine ground forces to an airbase at Latakia, ...
HONOR KILLING: SYRIAN GANG RAPE SURVIVOR MURDERED IN GERMANY

The horrifying story of an “honor killing” in Germany spotlights the sheer madness of importing millions of unvetted, unassimilated migrants. The victim, a 20-year-old woman known as “Rokstan M,” is one refugee who had a strong case for asylum. She was gang-raped in Syria, emigrated to Germany two years ago, and found employment with the German government as a translator. However, she strongly suspected her family wanted her dead for being “unclean,” and her suspicions appear to have been confirmed, as the German police believe her father and brothers slaughtered her with knives and buried her body in a garden, allegedly at the instruction of her mother. ...

Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan talks to the media before a meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker (not pictured) at the EU Commission headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, October 5, 2015. Turkey may be furious about Russian incursions into its air space but beyond words of protest there is little it can do, with its dependence on Russian energy and trade keeping its hands tied, and its own Syria policy in disarray. President Tayyip Erdogan has said he is losing patience with Russian jets crossing the border after Moscow launched an air campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad last week. "An attack on Turkey means an attack on NATO," ...

Group Has Been Fighting Alongside al-Qaeda in Idlib Province Adding to US claims that the vast majority of Russian airstrikes in Syria aren’t targeting ISIS, but rather other rebel factions, the Liwa Suqour al- Jabal (Falcons of the Mountain) brigade is claiming that Russia attacked and destroyed their main weapons depots in western Aleppo Province on Tuesday. The Falcons are part of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), and the recipients of massive amounts of arms from the CIA earlier in the war. The group also claims large funding from other unnamed “Arab and foreign countries” and insists it is fighting ISIS as well as the Syrian government. Which all appears to be true enough, ...

BEIRUT (Reuters) - At a meeting in Moscow in July, a top Iranian general unfurled a map of Syria to explain to his Russian hosts how a series of defeats for President Bashar al-Assad could be turned into victory - with Russia's help. Major General Qassem Soleimani's visit to Moscow was the first step in planning for a Russian military intervention that has reshaped the Syrian war and forged a new Iranian-Russian alliance in support of Assad. As Russian warplanes bomb rebels from above, the arrival of Iranian special forces for ground operations underscores several months of planning between Assad's two most important allies, driven by panic at rapid insurgent gains.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq may request Russian air strikes against Islamic State on its soil soon and wants Moscow to have a bigger role than the United States in the war against the militant group, the head of parliament's defense and security committee said on Wednesday. “In the upcoming few days or weeks, I think Iraq will be forced to ask Russia to launch air strikes, and that depends on their success in Syria," Hakim al-Zamili, a leading Shi'ite politician, told Reuters in an interview. The comments were the clearest signal yet that Baghdad intends to lean on Russia in the war on Islamic State after U.S.-led coalition airstrikes produced limited results. Russian ...

A MATHEMATICAL discovery by Perth-based electrical engineer Dr David Evans may change everything about the climate debate, on the eve of the UN climate change conference in Paris next month. A former climate modeller for the Government’s Australian Greenhouse Office, with six degrees in applied mathematics, Dr Evans has unpacked the architecture of the basic climate model which underpins all climate science. He has found that, while the underlying physics of the model is correct, it had been applied incorrectly. He has fixed two errors and the new corrected model finds the climate’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) is much lower than was thought. Miranda Devine. Picture: ...

Russian warships fired a volley of cruise missiles into Syria from the Caspian Sea on Wednesday as Russian-backed Syrian government troops launched a ground offensive to crush rebel forces opposing the regime of President Bashar Assad. The missile strikes mark a major escalation of Russia's recent involvement in Syria's long civil war and a growing threat to a faltering U.S. policy in Syria. Russia said four warships carried out 26 missile strikes from the Caspian Sea, destroying 11 targets more than 900 miles away. The missiles crossed Iranian and Iraqi airspace to reach their targets. Russian President Vladimir Putin is backing longtime ally Assad in his 4- year-old civil war ...

A major threat to American national security is rampant population growth in many parts of the world. Population increases were curtailed throughout history by disease, famine, and war. Efforts by civilized nations to curb deaths in the uncivilized world have been successful, yet these poor nations cannot absorb the resulting population explosion. The conflict in Kosovo was caused by immigration from rapidly growing Albania. Perpetual fighting in Africa is the result of millions of homeless people wandering about. Discontent in the Muslim world is fueled by a population growing faster than national economies. All Americans are aware of the immigration problems caused by high birth rates in ...

The Gog of Turkey, president Recep Tayyip Erdo an, said his country could not endure Russian violations any longer of its airspace in its campaign in Syria. Russian involvement in the 4½-year-old Syrian civil war seems to be escalating, with NATO’s secretary general confirming Tuesday a second incursion by Russian planes into Turkish airspace and saying Russian ground troops were in Syria as well. The first violation of Turkey’s airspace is reported to have happened Saturday. The second was Sunday, officials said. Now even CNN says: The tension between Russia and Turkey, however, appears to be escalating. The two countries are at odds over the civil war in Syria, ...

Yesterday we looked at how the migrant crisis in Europe was affecting Norway and forcing their leaders to look at new restrictions and possible border control measures. Anyone who is keeping an eye on the effect that all of these “economic refugees” and potential terrorists is having on the world and how it may come to affect the United States next year should be watching closely. The same questions are now hitting home in Denmark, where the ruling coalition under Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen has moved quickly to take steps which will cut social welfare benefits to the incoming horde. This is clearly designed to make Denmark a less attractive destination for the migrants, and if ...

A young, female ‘No Borders’ activist working in a migrant camp on the France-Italy border remained silent about her gang rape by Sudanese migrants for over a month because “the others asked me to keep quiet.” Colleagues are alleged to have said that reporting the crime would set back their struggle for a borderless world. The ‘No Borders’ activist had dedicated a month of her life to helping migrants. Her group was stationed between Italy and France in Ponte San Ludovico in Ventimiglia when the atrocity occurred, according to reports from local papers La Stampa and Il Secolo XIX, and now reported in the major Italian national Corriere Della Serra.

Having established a base on the Syrian coast, Vladimir Putin last week began air strikes on ISIS and other rebel forces seeking to overthrow Bashar Assad. A longtime ally of Syria, Russia wants to preserve its toehold on the Mediterranean, help Assad repel the threat, and keep the Islamic terrorists out of Damascus. Russia is also fearful that the fall of Assad would free up the Chechen terrorists in Syria to return to Russia. In intervening to save Assad, Putin is doing exactly what we are doing to save our imperiled allies in Baghdad and Kabul. Yet Putin’s intervention has ignited an almost berserk reaction. John McCain has called for sending the Free Syrian Army ...
