Have Human Rights Improved in Cuba? What a Dissident Thinks

It was one year ago this week that the Obama administration announced the United States would normalize relations with Cuba, saying the new policy would lay the foundation for democratic reform and human rights.

But over the past year, violent beatings against pro-democracy activists have escalated, and the number of political dissidents being detained—over 7,000—is on schedule to break previous records.

Antonio Rodiles, a dissident brutally beaten for participating in a human rights demonstration last summer, sat down with...

Paul Ryan's Horrible Spending Bill includes a SECRET DEAL THAT QUADRUPLES FOREIGN WORKERS IN U.S. and borrows from Rubio's 'Gang of Eight' bill to flood blue-collar job market

Buried in the 2,000-page omnibus spending bill released by the Senate Wednesday morning is a secret provision that many senators hope unemployed blue-collar workers won’t find out about.

This provision would quadruple the number of H-2B visas for low-skilled foreign “guest workers.” It would allow more than a quarter-of-a-million foreign workers to enter the U.S. each year and work in the construction industry, hotel-motel services, truck drivers, food processing, forestry and many other fields that don’t require a college education.

A vote on the spending bill is expected late Thursday night, possibly after midnight, sources on the Hill told WND.

The bill also includes funding for all of President Obama’s foreign refugee resettlement program and does nothing to stop the proliferation of so-called “sanctuary cities.”

Legal immigration is already at an all-time high, with 1.1 million foreign-born persons coming to the U.S. every year, and a recent Pew Research poll shows 83 percent of...


Obama Regime Sued To Get Information About Their Super Secret Refugee Plan To Fundamentally Change America...

The Obama regime is determined to move forward with their Islamic importation program in spite of the wishes of the majority of Americas for a review of the policies and a pause while such a review is done. The threat of terrorism and the associated American lives lost in the event of a terrorist attack are an acceptable trade off to the continued preferable to the regime to the interruption of their North American caliphate members.
Like most Americans the staff at Judicial Watch finds this policy to be inconsistent with common sense and the actions of a responsible federal government. They’ve been seeking related documents under two separate FOIA request to no avail. They’ve now decided to go the route of a lawsuit, a common option of last resort when dealing with the Obama regime.
They published a notice on their website on Monday which read in part:

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking records between the U.S. Department of State and voluntary agencies regarding refugees arriving in the United States (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No 1:15-cv-02030)).

The lawsuit was filed after the State Department failed to respond to two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests submitted on May 22, 2015, and September 14, 2015.

The FOIA request submitted on May 22, 2015, seeks records of:


All Cooperation Agreements for the years 2014 and 2015 between the Department of State and the voluntary agencies involved in providing reception and placement services to refugees arriving in the United States.
All Reception and Placement abstracts for the years 2014 and 2015 furnished to the Department of State by voluntary agencies, entities subcontracting to voluntary agencies, or entities affiliated with voluntary agencies regarding the provision of reception and placement services to refugees arriving in...

It Is Official: Eating Bacon Is Good For The Environment...And Therefore, (according to Obama), Bad For Jihadists...

If Climate Change causes Terrorism as our perfidious administration would have you believe, and Bacon is good for the environment, then Bacon is bad for terrorism.

Conclusion: eat more Bacon, wrap dead terrorists in Bacon and bury them.









Eating a healthier diet rich in fruit and vegetables could actually be more harmful to the environment than consuming some meat, a US study has claimed.

Lettuce is “over three times worse in greenhouse gas emissions than eating bacon”, according to researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University who analysed the impact per calorie of different foods in terms of energy cost, water use and emissions.

Published in the Environment Systems and Decisions journal, the study goes against the grain of recent calls for humans to...

Pamela Geller – Critical Mass May Still Save America – Merkel Taken Germany, Europe To Point of No Return

After Time Magazine announced German Chancellor Angela Merkel as their “person of the year” for the destruction of Germany and Europe in facilitating the Islamic invasion, Pamela Geller offers her insight into just what Merkel has done and how she will be remembered by history.

Geller described the declaration as being typical for Time, noting that they had also named Adolph Hitler the man of the year at one time. She said, “Merkel will go down as a key figure, a single figure in the destruction of Europe.” She says “This is one large conspiracy we’re witnessing and the media and academia and political elites are responsible for the destruction of the West. I mean, what Merkel did was unforgivable. That number’s going to be 2 million and they’ve reached the point of no return.”

She continues, “And they’re heralding the Muslim invasion as quote, humanitarian crisis, well let me tell you something. They heralded the Islamic supremacist revolutions that destroyed the...

John Kerry’s Surprising Comments on International Regulations and Climate Change

Although he probably didn’t mean to, Secretary of State John Kerry made a compelling case for why the U.S. and other countries should not go down the path of shutting down coal-fired plants, raising energy prices and stunting economic growth to combat global warming.

Speaking in Paris, Kerry said:
The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions, guess what – that still wouldn’t be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.
If all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions – remember what I just said, all the industrial emissions went down to zero emissions – it wouldn’t be enough, not when more than 65 percent of the world’s carbon pollution comes from the developing worl
d.
He’s exactly right. Paul Knappenberger and Patrick Michaels estimate that the climate regulations the Obama administration are imposing on the energy sector – costs that will be passed down to households – will avert a meager 0.018 degree Celsius of warming by the year 2100.

In fact, the U.S. could cut 100 percent of its CO2 emissions and it would not make a difference in global warming.

Using the same climate sensitivity modeling as the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world would only be 0.137 degree C cooler by 2100. What’s worse is that if you included...

Traitorous: Obama Administration Shut Down Terror Investigation That Could Have Prevented San Bernardino Attack



A former Department of Homeland Security agent says that an investigation he was conducting into a fundamentalist Islamic group operating in the U.S. may have helped stop San Bernardino jihadi Syed Farook had the government not shut down his probe.
During an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Thursday, Philip Haney said that in 2012 as an agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center, he opened an investigation into a Sunni Islamic group called, Tablighi Jamaat, a subset of the fundamentalist Deobandi movement.

But Haney said that just a year into the investigation it was shut down by the State Department and the Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

The reason the investigation was quashed? Because the federal government did not want to profile Islamic groups, Haney told Kelly.


In the process of shutting down Haney’s inquiry, the feds also deleted his files, which included information on an organization with ties to Farook’s mosque, San Bernardino’s Deobandi movement-affiliated Dar-al-Uloom al-Islamia.

And Farook’s wife and accomplice, Tashfeen Malik, went to school at Pakistan’s al-Huda, which also has ties to....
