Sometime on Saturday night, vandals attacked three Christian houses of worship in Columbus, Indiana, spray-painting the word "infidels" and citations of verses from the Koran on the outer walls.
St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, Lakeview Church of Christ, and East Columbus Christian Church all had the word "infidels" spray-painted on them, in places of prominence to be seen by worshipers.
Cited in the Indianapolis Star, Columbus police spokesperson Matt Harris said that church employees discovered the vandalism when they arrived to prepare for Sunday services.
At St. Bartholomew, the words "Qur'an 3:151" were also left.
That verse reads:
We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down [any] authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.
Well we don't want to rush to place blame. No need to profile and offend those fine peace loving Muslim pillars of the community. It's probably best to blame some gun owning, pro-life, Christian type whack-o. Obviously, they are the real problem here ....
Whats striking to me is that the UAE is not afraid to say Islamic extremism, he said. The president is! He called it extremism in fact, earlier in the show you showed our counterterrorism, our top guy, called Olson. And he said, ISIS now is looking to outpace al-Qaida as the leader of the global extremist movement.
He cannot bring himself to say Islamic! Krauthammer charged. For Gods sake, ISIS calls ITSELF the Islamic State. And yet we are so politically correct we dont want to use the term Islamic, lest it be a slur on a great religion.
A SWAT team raided co-owner Joe Palumbo's Albion Gun Shop without a warrant. They were acting on orders from the Narcotics Enforcement Unit, who asked the shop to hand over a customer list so they could determine how many people had purchased New York SAFE Act compliant rifles. The gun owner was forced to present approximately 170 sales records. Under the state's anti-gun law, this intrusion was completely legal.
Palumbo thought he was following the law by offering "bullet button" AR-15s, guns that are modified to comply with the SAFE Act's new rules. He was more or less assured by state police:
According to Palumbo (gun store owner), he said he had spoken with state police last year in regards to the legality of selling AR-15's with the bullet button attachment. He said police advised him that it should be "ok" but wouldn't guarantee him an answer until someone goes to court for it.
Yet, that hasn't seemed to stop the state from repeatedly checking in on him.
Critics claim that exchanges such as these prove that the SAFE Act is arbitrary and confusing:
The New York S.A.F.E. Act is being enforced arbitrarily on a case by case basis, Tresmond said. That amounts to unconstitutional vagueness under the Supreme Courts Morales standard, and the law should be enjoined for that reason alone.
In addition to the legislation's head scratching details, the SAFE Act has succeeded in turning otherwise law-abiding gun owners into criminals by turning misdemeanors like firearm possession into more serious charges. Last year, after the law's implementation, over 1,200 felonies were recorded in the state. No wonder I saw so many "Repeal the SAFE Act" when driving through upstate New York last month.
As a result of the continuous interruptions to his business, Palumbo intends to file a lawsuit against the state.
The National Rifle Association has unleashed a multimillion-dollar TV advertising campaign that its longtime leader says is aimed at messaging beyond gun rights and reaching middle-class mothers, minorities and other Americans who believe our country is off the rails.
The gun lobbys campaign, launched in the last 10 days, uncharacteristically delves into issues far beyond the Second Amendment to explore the IRS scandal, media elitism and security vulnerabilities, with a call to return good guys to power.
CNSNews.com) - A record 92,269,000 Americans 16 and older did not participate in the labor force in August, as the labor force participation rate matched a 36-year low of 62.8 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The labor force participation rate has been as low as 62.8 percent in six of the last twelve months, but prior to last October had not fallen that low since 1978.
BLS employment statistics are based on the civilian noninstitutional population, which consists of all people 16 or older who were not in the military or an institution such as a prison, mental hospital, or nursing home.

Officials from the CDC have confirmed that they are investigating a mystery illness that has been rapidly emerging in towns and military bases housing these undocumented immigrants. The CDC has outbreak specialists in place who are currently attempting to identify whether the causative agent is bacterial or viral. These illnesses are appearing in communities near where the government housed scores of illegal immigrants in detention centers.
As I predicted late last spring, these outbreaks are among the first of a long line outbreaks we were going to see as a result of unscreened illegal aliens.
Conclusion
cloward and pivenIn a 1966 article in Nation, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, sociology professors at Columbia University, wrote that capitalism should be collapsed by overloading the government with financial demands that could not be met. Clearly, Obama is working off of the playbook of Cloward and Piven.
The strategy is to collapse the financial system. The tactic is chaos. If a crisis does not exist, create one. The more chaos the better. The solution is always couched in empathetic words like fair, equal, humane, and just.
We know that the government refused admittance to Ft. Sill in Oklahoma to Oklahoma congressman, Jim Bridenstine so he could see for himself what was going in these facilities housing illegal immigrants. What are they hiding?
In light of these revelation, members of the media may lament that wed be far better off if the government worked as hard to stop the spread of disease as it does to stop the spread of information.
Wednesday on Newsmax TV's "The Steve Malzberg Show," Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) detailed a private classified meeting she had with the FBI to ask if any citizens from Minnesota were fighting with ISIS.
Bachmann said she was told there are two, which has since been reported, but the congresswoman stressed when she asked if they would be allowed to return the agents said after extra scrutiny they would.
In response the Minnesota lawmaker has proposed in the House, "The Terrorist Denaturalization and Passport Revocation Act," which would strip the citizenship of Americans who join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to fight.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has introduced similar legislation in the Senate.

The editorial board of a college newspaper has declared that bras are racist because they come in colors named nude, since non-white peoples skin isnt that color when theyre nude.
How would it make you feel that the fashion industry and society at large has based its ideal of nude on Caucasian people? That the color of your skin doesnt count as nude? asks the staff editorial, published by the Oklahoma Daily, the official newspaper of the University of Oklahoma.
The board used the same reasoning to conclude that that nude makeup, flesh-colored clothing, and Band-Aids were also racist.
The Department of Homeland Security has fined an American and a Canadian $5,000 each for crossing the U.S./Canada border, fines which are never assessed on thousands of illegal aliens who are detained by Border Patrol daily.
The two men, a 40-year-old American and a 44-year-old Canadian, were walking down a dirt road with mountain bikes near the border when they were approached by a Border Patrol agent.
Questioning by the agent revealed that the two suspects illegally entered the U.S. from Canada, stated a Customs and Border Patrol press release. Subsequently, both males were arrested for violation of U.S. law and transported to the Rangeley Station for further processing.
Following database verifications, Border Patrol agents turned over both subjects to CBP officers at the Coburn Gore port of entry for assessment of fines and penalties.
Both men were assessed a $5,000 civil penalty under 19 USC 1459 for Failure to Report to border officials and its unlikely that either of them crossed the border in pursuit of Obamas de facto amnesty for illegal aliens.
Since this is an administrative fine, the individuals do not have to go through a judicial process and will have approximately 30 days to pay the fine, the press release added.
Of course, when it comes to illegals entering America who are eight times more likely to vote for Democrats than Republicans, theyre not fined but rather pampered with free food, shelter, medical care, and bus tickets to anywhere in the nation.
Its official: the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued an order declining a request for an en banc hearing in a case involving four students in at a California high school who were sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo.
The full slate of Ninth Circuit judges has thus agreed with a lower district court and with a trio of appellate judges that officials at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif. could censor students who wanted to wear flag-emblazoned shirts.
The federal appeals court issued its denial of an en banc hearing on Sept. 17 Constitution Day.
[N]o further petitions shall be permitted, the court ordered.
The trouble dates back to Cinco de Mayo (May 5) in 2010, when officials at Live Oak High a school with a predominant Mexican-American student body forced the students to remove their American flag-festooned shirts. Administrators called the shirts incendiary and worried that fighting would break out between white and Latino students if Latino students noticed the shirts. So, assistant principal Miguel Rodriguez told the students to turn their shirts inside out or leave school.

A San Diego State University sophomore was forced to remove an American flag from his balcony after apartment managers said foreigners could find the display offensive.
Brad Smith, who had just moved into the Boulevard 63 apartment complex in San Diego last month, told ABC 10 News that he received a written notice to remove the flag a few days ago.
We were then told that it was for political reasons and that the flag could offend foreign people that live here, foreign exchange students, Smith said. Ive had friends and family fight to defend that flag.
According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released a day after voters in Scotland rejected an "independence referendum" by nearly 10 points, "23.9 percent of Americans polled from Aug. 23 through Sept. 16 said they strongly supported or tended to support the idea of their state breaking away, while 53.3 percent of the 8,952 respondents strongly opposed or tended to oppose the notion."
The poll found that the "urge to sever ties with Washington cuts across party lines and regions," and anger with President Barack Obama on Obamacare and foreign policy and a "long-running Washington gridlock had prompted them to wonder if their states would be better off striking out on their own."
The poll found that "Republicans were
Previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary Clinton and the late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky reveal new details about her relationship with the controversial Chicago activist and shed light on her early ideological development.
Clinton met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while writing a Wellesley college thesis about his theory of community organizing.
Clintons relationship with Alinsky, and her support for his philosophy, continued for several years after she entered Yale law school in 1969, two letters obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
The letters obtained by the Free Beacon are part of the archives for the Industrial Areas Foundation, a training center for community organizers founded by Alinsky, which are housed at the University of Texas at Austin.
The letters also suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Clintons early political views than previously known.
A 23-year-old Hillary Clinton was living in Berkeley, California, in the summer of 1971. She was interning at the left-wing law firm Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein, known for its radical politics and a client roster that included Black Panthers and other militants.
Study: One in Ten Adults in U.S. Not Proficient in English

The number of working-age adults in the United States with limited proficiency in English has more than doubled since 1980, according to a new Brookings Institution study. Immigrants proficient in English, the study notes, tend to earn substantially higher incomes.
English proficiency is a strong predictor of economic standing among immigrants, regardless of the amount of education they have attained, and it is associated with the greater academic and economic success of the workers children, the study found.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the rise comes out to nearly 1 in 10 adults who lack sufficient English skills, two and a half times more than three decades ago. Two-thirds of those lacking proficiency are Spanish speakers.
In large cities, the numbers are even higher. For example, in Los Angeles and Miami, the Journal reports almost 25 percent of adults lack proficient English. The study also finds that cities such as Indianapolis have witnessed a near 100 percent increase in limited-English speakers since 2000.
What does it cost YOU to send your kid to college??
When Dario Guerrero, an illegal immigrant who found out about his status in high school, told Harvard that he was in the country illegally, the school encouraged him to applyand gave him a full scholarship after he was accepted.
Writing in the Washington Post, Guerrero, who is currently a junior at the university, said after an MIT official recommended that he not apply to the school during a trip to visit college, he left the office in a daze because MIT had been his dream school. He started walking down Massachusetts Avenue and, without really planning it, I found myself in the middle of Harvard. A Harvard admissions officer told him, If you are admitted to Harvard College, we will meet your full financial need without regard to your legal status.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Breitbart News at the Value Voters Summit hosted by the Family Research Council that President Barack Obamas planned executive amnesty is the biggest story that the mainstream media has ignored this year.
[Seeking] amnesty for illegal aliens is the number one achievement of the presidents second term, Bachmann said in an interview that aired on Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot Channel 125.
Hes planning to get it and hes planning to jam it down the throats of the American people. It's a plate of dog food to do this, Bachmann said. "Its not what the American people wanttheyre going to reactwhich is why the president is taking the cowards way out and hes waiting until after the election. The media, unfortunately, is giving the president a big assist because you dont hear them pounding on the table saying Mr. President, Mr. President, what are you doing?"
"Theyre completely leaving the fight," she continued. "So the American people are being completely dis-served because the president has already announced what he's going to do. Hes going to give full-scale amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, which by the way would include terrorists who are currently in this country who came in illegally. This is a travesty of historic proportions and the president of the United States will completely destroy his presidency if he does itbut he doesnt care. All he cares about is the outcome, achieving his radical political ends, which is why we got to do everything we can despite the media not paying attention to this issue we need to focus on it.
Bachmann, who said she thinks its great Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning from office at long lastand "should have resigned a long time agobacked a strategy by Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) that all U.S. Senators should vote against any Attorney General nominee if that nominee does not oppose Obama's planned executive amnesty.
Hes a thousand percent right, Bachmann said of Sessions strategy. The best senator that we have in the U.S. Senate on the issue of illegal immigration is Jeff Sessions. Bar none. He has led the way in the Senate and actually myself and Congressman Steve King were working with him in the week leading up to the great legislation we got through the House of Representatives. We actually got decent legislation and in part its because of the work we did with Sen. Jeff Sessions.
The legislation Bachmann is referring to were two separate bills the House passed right before August recess. The first toughened immigration asylum restrictions and gave resources to the federal government to halt the border crisis, and the second one defunded the presidents plans for an executive amnesty making it illegal for him to use taxpayer resources to grant illegal aliens work permits or other documents. As the House debated and passed those billsthe first time the Republican Party has been almost universally united against amnesty since the 2012 electionHouse Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi lost control of herself and twice waved her finger in the face of GOP Rep. Tom Marino of Pennsylvania, chasing him across the House floor.
They [the Democrats] went apoplectic, Bachmann said. She [Pelosi] actually chased after a Republican in Congress. She was completely unhinged because her policy is unhinged to give blanket amnesty to people who break our laws to come into the United States. We have a huge problem with amnesty for illegal aliensits a national security risk."
"It means taking away millions of jobs from American citizens and it further means lowering of wages and benefit packages for Americans," she continued. "Were seeing a plumping up of the welfare rolls well into the future. Why would we do this? Why would we add to our welfare rolls? Why would we pull away good jobs from Americans? Why would we lower their wages? Thats why the American people are outraged over illegal immigration, and I really think it is a traitorous act to not bring attention to the fact that the president has announced he is going to grant blanket amnesty and the media is completely ignoring the story. It's the biggest story of this year other than the tragedy with the Islamic State and Islamic jihad.
A new Government Accountability Institute (GAI)report reveals that President Barack Obama has attended only 42.1% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) in the 2,079 days of his presidency through September 29, 2014.
The GAI report also included a breakdown of Obamas PDB attendance record between terms; he attended 42.4% of his PDBs in his first term and 41.3% in his second.
The GAIs alarming findings come on the heels of Obamas 60 Minutes comments on Sunday, wherein the president laid the blame for the Islamic States (ISIS) rapid rise squarely at the feet of his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria, said Obama.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked by Fox News' Ed Henry about the level of concern the White House had for Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi , who is being held in a Mexican prison under inhumane conditions and living with a severe case of untreated PTSD.
"There was another report and hearing today on Capitol Hill about Sgt. Tahmooressi, the U.S. Marine who's been in a Mexican jail. The reason why it's important among other reasons is that various lawmakers as well as various veterans have come forward and said he has PTSD which this president has said is a very serious issue that he cares deeply about. How concerned is this White House that he is still in a Mexican jail, had PTSD according to VA doctors and hasn't gotten treatment in several months," Henry asked.
"I can tell you that my colleagues at the State Department are very focused on this issue and so I'd refer you to them for their efforts to work with the Mexican government," Earnest said.
"Republican Ed Royce said today that he asked Vice President Joe Biden recently to ask Preident Obama to call the president of Mexico directly and get him [Tahmooressi] out of jail and he said that didn't happen. Why not?" Henry followed up.
"I don't believe it has and that's because this is an issue that is being handled by the State Department," Earnest said.
Clearly the White House is so concerned, they couldn't bother to comment or come up with a general statement showing they at least care about the situation. Pathetic. What happened to "no man left behind?" That concept must only apply to deserters and Taliban sympathizers named Bowe Bergdahl.
Earlier today Sgt. Tahmooressi's mother, Jill Tahmooressi, testified in front of Congress about the condition of her son and detailed the horrifying conditions in which he is being detained. She also said President Obama hasn't called her, despite media attention and a WhiteHouse.gov petition receiving 134,000 signatures asking for him to pursue her son's release.
Officials in China this week examined the anuses of 10,000 pigeons that were set to be released today in celebration of National Day, amid government fears of a possible terrorist attack. According to reports from state-run media outlets, the birds had their feathers, legs, and anuses searched for suspicious objects yesterday, before being packed onto a truck and sent to Tiananmen Square in Beijing for todays ceremony. Many reports on the probe disappeared from Chinas tightly-controlled media after being published, though some articles and tweets remain online. The entire process was reportedly videotaped.
Detailed by police officers along the New Jersey shore, 32-year-old waiter Russell J. Percenti was arrested last week for allegedly firing a shotgun at an aerial remote control helicopter drone flying in the vicinity of his home. According to the owner of the helicopter drone, it was being used to capture photographs of a nearby home that was currently under construction. While he was flying the drone over the unfinished home to take the photos, he heard several gunshots in the vicinity and immediately lost control of the drone.
When the owner recovered the broken drone, he discovered multiple holes that were likely the result of at least one shotgun blast. After calling the Lower Township Police Department, the drone owner directed patrolman Michael Nuscis toward the origin of the shots. Police officers went to the home of Percenti, questioned him about the shooting and discovered the shotgun that was used in the drone attack. Upon discovery of the shotgun, Percenti was placed under arrest and charged with possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and criminal mischief. In addition, the shotgun was seized as evidence related to the crime.
Bail was set in the amount of $2,500 by a local judge and Percenti quickly posted the 10 percent required minimum to be released from jail. In addition the criminal charges, the owner may choose to pursue financial compensation for the destroyed drone.
Depending on the type of drone as well as the quality of the digital camera mounted to the drone, Percenti could be responsible for hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in damages.
He has sued the National Security Agency, and won at the district court level.
He has sued to get Barack Obamas birth certificate.
He has sued Hugo Chavez on behalf of torture victims.
He has sued journalists.
He has sued the Taliban and al-Qaida.
He sued Cuba and won a multimillion-dollar judgment.
Now Larry Klayman, the former Justice Department lawyer and founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, is suing to get President Obama deported.
Shipped out. Sent back. Removed.
In sum, deportation proceedings should be immediately commenced, an investigation undertaken, a full evidentiary hearing held, and Barack Hussein Obama should be removed from the United States, Klayman writes in his deportation petition.
The petition was sent to Thomas Homan of Enforcement Removal Operations at the Department of Homeland Security, Thomas Winkowksi of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Sarah Kendall of the Office of Fraud Detection and National Security at DHS.
Klayman explained it is based on the grounds that he has falsified various birth and other documents with regard to obtaining a U.S. passport and other privileges as an alleged American citizen.
The White House has reportedly sent a top Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official to the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City (ISGOC) to present a special thank you to the Muslim congregation, Oklahomas KFOR reports.
The beheader's mosque, the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, was founded by a sibling of a U.S.-designated Hamas terrorist, and in the past has welcomed an Imam who was a close confidant to al-Qaeda mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki.
When Barack Obama introduced himself at the 2004 Democratic National Convention declaring there was only one America not a liberal America and a conservative America and not a black America and white America many instantly envisioned him as a future presidential candidate with a unique heritage and extraordinary rhetorical skills that would enable him to unite a nation divided over political ideology and race.
Not long into his presidency, however, it became apparent to many, including some liberals, that Obamas leadership and policies had only exacerbated the divisions.
Most attributed his failures to simple incompetence, but Michael Savage saw something much more sinister happening, and in his new book Stop the Coming Civil War he charges Obama is deliberately dividing the country.
At the time Savage finished the manuscript, several months ago, many continued to mock the provocative notion that any president would purposefully damage the nation.

Barack Obama at the 2004 Democratic National Convention
But recent events, including the flood of Central American illegal aliens and the entry of the Ebola virus to the U.S., have made Stop the Coming Civil War, Savages 30th book, seem prophetic.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of bewildered Democrats are distancing themselves from Obama.
Home-schoolers represent the only authentically radical social movement in the United States (Occupy Wall Street was a fashion statement) and so they must be suppressed, as a malevolent committee of leftist academics and union bosses under the direction of Governor Dannel Malloy is preparing to do in Connecticut, using the Sandy Hook massacre as a pretext. The ghouls invariably rush to the podium after every school massacre, issuing their insipid press releases before the bodies have even cooled, and normally theyre after your guns. But the Malloy gang is after your children.
Malloys committee on the Newtown shootings is recommending that Connecticut require home-schooling families to present their children to the local authorities periodically for inspection, to see to it that their psychological and social growth is proceeding in the desired direction. For anybody even passingly familiar with contemporary government schools, which are themselves a peerless source of social and emotional dysfunction, this development is bitterly ironic.
