The great Geert Wilders addressed the Europe of Nations and Freedom group in Milan today.

Excerpt: 

Most of us here are leading in the polls in our respective countries. We are politically successful because we stand for the following five principles.

The principles of the new patriotism.

One, we want to close our borders for mass immigration from Islamic countries and the asylum tsunami. If I become Prime Minister of the Netherlands next year, I will close the Dutch borders at once.

Two, we must protect ourselves against the terrorist threat.

We do not want jihadis in our countries. And we must restore the safety of our citizens, especially our women. No more rape, no more sexual jihad. On New Year’s Eve in Cologne alone, over 1,000 women were assaulted,...

Unveiling a work in progress, The Big Conservative Dictionary of Donald Trump. 

The fun part about The Big Conservative Dictionary of Donald Trump is that it is brought to you by those erudite conservatives who, some even between birthing the stink bombs below, endlessly deplore crudeness and "tone" in simply scads of elevating sermons and television lecture-bytes. (See "Rudeness Is not a Conservative Value,"  "Against Trump," etc.). 



Here we go -- so far.

This is not a parody.

From The Local (Aus.):

An Austrian parent has complained after his daughter was given an altered version of a popular children's hymn in which the word 'God' was replaced with the word 'Allah'.

The woman told local media she was shocked when her daughter came home with the text to learn from the school in the Upper Austrian town of Wels.

The original song "Gottes Liebe ist so wunderbar" which means "God's love is so wonderful" is an extremely popular song for young children in Christian Austria. However, the teacher had decided to rewrite the text, replacing the word God with the word Allah.

The teacher justified the action by saying that the majority of children in the class of 10-year-olds were Muslims,...

The Local (It.) reports:

Hassan Rouhani visited the Capitoline Museums with premier Matteo Renzi, having signed contracts worth up to €17 billion ($18.4 billion) on Monday.

And Renzi was clearly keen to avoid offending his new business partner. The nude statues and sculptures in the museum were completely covered by large white boxes ....



The decision to cover up nudity was seen as a mark of respect for the traditions of the Muslim country, which has only just had its trade sanctions lifted.

Ansa reported that as a further mark of respect, no wine was served at the official dinner during Rouhani's visit.

The vineyards await Allah's...

Part 1 is here. 

A word cloud envelops the Ted Cruz campaign for president. "Consistent." "Conservative." "Reliable." "Consistent conservative," "reliable conservative." "Trusted." Or, as the tagline goes, "TrusTed."

This branding does not serve Ted Cruz well. After all, he is a politician. In his short career as a senator and presidential candidate, Cruz has already flip-flopped on vital immigration and trade issues. There is a pattern to his political "evolution." As a measure of the Trump effect, Cruz has moved from the globalist position to the nationalist position on Syrian refugess (for to against), Obamatrade (for to against), H1B visas (from calling for expansion to calling for a moratorium), birthright...

On with Sam Sorbo to dispel the Cruz "consistency" myth and talk NR's backfire.

   



Below is an excerpt from a story appearing at WBUR, Boston's NPR, which includes an exchange with LaurenceTribe, a leading constitutional lawyer and professor, who taught constitutional law to Sen. Ted Cruz (also Cheif Justice John Roberts) at Harvard Law School. Tribe epitomizes the Left's approach to the Constitution as a "living" document. As such, Tribe says he would, as a Supreme Court justice, vote that Ted Cruz was eligilble for the presidency -- "but Ted always made fun of that way of looking at the Constitution." 

From the January 15, 2016 WBUR article:

Questions about his birth and eligibility to be president have become a major irritant for Cruz, who was also in New Hampshire this week. He wanted to focus on Second Amendment rights, terrorism and his effort to unite conservatives,...

Rush Limbaugh said today that nationalism and populism have overtaken conservatism in terms of appeal. 

I would add that until Donald Trump's candidacy, neither nationalism nor populism were political choices. Both had been demonized into oblivion.

I would also add that since the heyday of William F. Buckley, Jr., conservatism has been synonomous with internationalism, which overrides nationalism, and has nothing to do with populism.

It is for this reason I suspect that many Americans who love Donald Trump will be voting for the first time. 

And it is for this reason I suspect that many of them would never vote for a Ted Cruz, because, no matter where he ends up in terms of political positioning, he, too, springs from the internationalist camp when it comes to immigration and economics, trade and borders: the existential issues that Donald Trump has made this presidentiail primary about.

For some of us, this is not about gotcha games, cresting news cycles or even, as Sen. Ted Cruz suggests, supporting Hillary I have endorsed Donald Trump (here), but I have also been writing about the natural born citizen issue and an array of eligibility-related issues (e.g., fraud, forgery) at least as long as Barack Hussein Obama has been president. Not that our best, brightest, bravest and most brilliant wanted to touch any of it then, either. But never have I seen advanced the crazy-if-you-believe-this-one definition of a "natural born citizen" attributed to Donald Trump by Sen. Cruz in Thursday night's debate (also discussed here).

He says: "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"

She says: "Ja!"

This, as far as I can tell, is NOT a tasteless spoof of the rape jihad (I discuss it here with Frank Gaffney) sweeping Europe and the wider West. It is the cover of a German primer for sale for 14.90 Euros by a company called smarterGerman. 

Crystal clear is right.



Anti-Islam PEGIDA demo in Cologne

Some comments of mine in a recent report at WND.com on the Islamic war on women that erupted across Europe on New Year's Eve:

Conservative commentator Diana West also pins the responsibility squarely on Merkel.

Dr. Peter V. Pry, former CIA analyst and author, came on Update Brazil this week with Allan Dos Santos and Jeff Nyquist to discuss the recent North Korean nuclear test, how very little the "experts" actually know about it, and why it is all too likely they (and we) have been deceived.

Pry believes it is likely that the North Koreans were testing a low-yield hydrogen bomb -- a neutron bomb, or, more likely, a super EMP weapon. Pry notes that, among other sources, South Korea military intelligence indicates that Russians are in North Korea helping them.

"Peter's initial presentation and analysis was one of the most profoundly disturbing things I have ever heard in an interview," Jeff told me after the interview -- which, given Jeff's expertise and experience, is saying something!

Independence Hall, Philadelphia

Mark Levin and Andrew C. McCarthy have taken strong positions on the constitutional eligibility of Sen. Ted Cruz for the presidency. In fact, they assert there is only one position -- that Cruz is eligible -- and, further, that it is (1) "wise" of Cruz to laugh off the question (McCarthy), and (2) that questions about Cruz's eligibility are "for the kooks" (Levin).

The issue recently resurfaced after the Washington Post asked Donald Trump about it. (Trump's remarks here.)

Geert Wilders, whose Party for Freedom tops Dutch polls, has written an open letter to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte. It concerns rampaging mobs of Muslim men on New Year's Eve in Germany, particularly in Cologne/Koln, which is about 50 miles east of the Dutch border.

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

Yesterday and today, I received hundreds of emails. Hundreds of emails full of fear and indignation. About the horrific events on New Year's Eve in Cologne.   I have not heard you about those events. I find that very strange. After Paris last November, we now have Cologne. After the Islamic terror, the sexual jihad. But we do not hear you. Hello, Mr. Prime Minister? Are you still there?

What happened in Cologne is repulsive. Fear reigns in Germany, but also in the Netherlands. Don’t you notice it? Thousands of Dutch women worry about their safety. Thousands of Dutch men fear for the safety of their...

MRCTV reports on astronomical immigration projections based on Census data compiled by the Senate Subcommittee of Immigration and the National Interest.

Looking on the bright side, I didn't know the Senate (Jeff Sessions aside) deliberated on "the National Interest." But the rest isn't so nice -- that is, if the national interest is your bag.    

The U.S. immigrant population is projected to increase by 715% from its 1970 level – hitting 78.2 million by 2060, Census data show. ...

Today, the foreign-born population is already at an all-time high of 42.4 million. Measured as a percentage of total national population, it is set to soon surpass the highest levels ever recorded and continue rising to new unseen records every year and decade to follow.

Left unchecked, immigrants...

Image by Bosch Fawstin

I keep scrolling up and down the interview of Bosch Fawstin at National Review Online looking for something that is amazingly not there.

Fawstin, of course, is the talented artist who in 2015 won the Draw Mohammed contest in Garland, Texas, becoming internationally famous after the contest was attacked by Muslims seeking to carry out Islam's death penalty for making images of Mohammed.

I keep looking for his cartoon (posted above) in the article, written by Andrew C. McCarthy. The cartoon, after all, is the raison d'etre of this interview concerning the infinite chasm between free speech and Islamic blasphemy law.

I see Fawstin's face, his Pigman comic, his quotation in bold: "I draw Mohammed because...

Hang around long enough and you see everything -- twice.

Seen at a town hall in New Hampshire 1999: Katherine Prudhomme asking the projected Democratic nominee for president a question about the credible story Juanita Broaddrick tells about being raped by Bill "Better Put Some Ice on That" Clinton.

Seen at a town hall in New Hampshire 2016: Katherine Prudhomme O'Brien, now a New Hampshire State Representative, trying to ask the projected Democratic nominee for president a question about the credible story Juanita Broaddrick...

It wasn't long enough to rate as vanWinklen, but it was nearly as deep and now it's (pop) over.

Three items.

1) Catching up, I find myself in very fine company as one of Jack Cashill's "The Outstanding Cultural Warriors of 2015." My ticket is my 2013 book, American Betrayal, which Jack Cashill has earlier quite extravaganly compared with Witness, writing "I have a whole library of books on communism, but -- "Witness" excepted -- this may be the best." Now, he writes: 

In her dazzling book “American Betrayal,” West made a powerful case that the FDR White House, led by fifth columnist Harry Hopkins,...
