Ebola...

The President of the Private Practice Doctors organization has charged that the U.S. government's lack of urgency in border and flight security, coupled with West Africa's inability to properly screen people with fevers, undermines protocols and puts Americans in danger of contracting Ebola.

Dr. Reed Wilson, a renowned cardiologist and long time member of the Cedars Sinai Bioethics Committee, reacted to the reality that the Ebola virus has spread rapidly across Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone since March, killing more than 3,000 people.

Of course this comes on top of reports that a Liberian man, who had all the symptoms of the deadly disease that has plagued West Africa, came in contact with approximately 100 people in his Dallas apartment building and neighborhood before being readmitted to a Texas hospital.

The Daily News reported on Friday that Reed is highly critical of the current handling of the Ebola crisis.

"We are relying on the failed governments of West African nations to do the screening of their citizens and travelers," Wilson said. "We are depending on Third World, untrained individuals to be the bulwark for the U.S.A. to prevent mass death. This should not bring comfort to the ears of American citizens."

It has been well documented that there is no vaccine or approved cure for the virus at this time, and that it is contagious with direct personal contact, such as through sweat, broken skin, or mucous membranes with a sick person's blood or urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen.

The News reported that symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure and include fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and abnormal bleeding.

A Beheading in Oklahoma...

It was not just a "workplace incident." The brutal beheading of an American woman by a radicalized Muslim is just the latest in a series of un- or under-reported atrocities deemed unfit for the American people by the Mainstream Media. In this horrifying analysis, Bill Whittle describes the events in Oklahoma and  discusses WHY the Leftist Media doesn't want stories like this being told.

TRANSCRIPT:

Hi everybody. I'm Bill Whittle and this is the Firewall.

On Thursday, September 25th, 2014 � to hear the media tell it � disgruntled worker Alton Nolen arrived at work at the Vaughan Foods plant in Oklahoma City, shortly after being fired.

Apparently he lost his temper, and a tragedy ensued.

Okay.

((LADY GAGA))

You know who this is? This is Stefani Germanotta. Surely that name rings a bell? No? How about Lady Gaga? That's the name she chose for herself.

The name Alton Nolen chose for himself is Jah'Keem Yisrael. Why do we call Stefani Germanotta Lady Gaga while Alton Nolen is still Alton Nolen? Well, because if the press referred to Alton Nolen by the name he uses to refer to himself -- Jah'Keem Yisrael � then we would have to face some unpleasant facts. And reporting unpleasant facts is not allowed in the Era of Obama, because if unpleasant facts were reported in the Era of Obama there wouldn't be an Era of Obama. 

Is it really fair to refer to Alton Nolen as Jah'Keem Yisrael? It sure as hell seems fair to me. Here are some images from his Facebook page. Here's one of Jihadi terrorists, to which Jah'Keem Yisrael added "Some of my Muslim Brothers!" Here's one that says "Islam will dominate the earth � freedom can go to hell." Jah'Keem had nothing to add to that apparently.

So after allegedly spending a great deal of time and effort trying to convert his co-workers to Islam, Jah'Keem Yisrael entered the Vaughan Foods building, where he met � apparently at random � 54 year old Colleen Hufford. After stabbing her repeatedly with his knife, he then proceeded to saw her head off. He then went on to stab 43 year old Traci Johnson.

On his Facebook page, Jah'Keem Yisrael had also posted a picture of the Statue of Liberty, to which he added the caption, "She is going into flames. She and Anybody who's with her." Apparently, one of those people who ARE with the Statue of Liberty, as she heads into the flames, was company CEO and reserve sheriff's deputy Mark Vaughan, who stopped this Islamic ritual with his personal firearm. Because unlike the soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, where an identical Islamic murderer, Nidal Hassan, stood on a table shouting Allahu Akbar! as he killed 13 back in 2009, Mr. Vaughn had not surrendered his Constitutionally guaranteed, 2nd Amendment right to life and so he took action as an American citizen, saving the life of Traci Johnson and God knows how many others. No doubt Mr. Vaughan � who should be given the Medal of Freedom � will live forever regretting that he didn't arrive on the scene in time to save Colleen Hufford.

This story is profound.

No, what's happened in Oklahoma City is bigger than a media blackout. Bigger than the lack of outrage, the absence of candlelight vigils, the missing comments of the President saying that Colleen Hufford could have been his grandmother and all the rest. That story had to be buried: a Muslim extremist's murder spree, stopped by private citizen with his own firearm? Please.

No, what happened in Oklahoma City is even bigger than the collision of reality and the Narrative. Because both domestic Islamic radicalism, and the issuance of concealed carry permits, are both sharply in the rise.

So the question we had better start asking is not whether or not you have a right to defend yourself - But rather whether we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

Because the left, you see, admires people like Jah'Keem Yisrael. They admire them for having the courage to do what they will not do � namely, get their hands dirty. Or bloody, as the case may be. The left, and these Islamic murderers, are in a symbiotic relationship, and they both know it. Both depend on the other to weaken traditional American strength � the left at home, and the Jihadis overseas. Papering over a few beheadings is a small price to pay to keep that alliance together � especially since this happened in Oklahoma. I mean, it's not like Colleen Hufford was a celebrity or a real person or anything. If they had beheaded Barbara Streisand, then there would have been some hand wringing.

No, they will let this domestic cancer grow, because if Americans wake up to the reality that the media is in fact in the news suppression business, they may start to wonder what other stories have been suppressed. No, they will let this cancer grow, unreported, until the Statue of Liberty and anyone who is with her, goes into the flames.

"Eric Holder, Federal Dick!"

I'm Andrew Klavan and this is the Revolting Truth.

America's chief law officer has decided to step down and so it's time to take a farewell look at the career of...

"Eric Holder, Federal Dick!"

In 2008, Eric Holder Federal Dick became the first black Attorney General of the United States.  But that's all right - there are plenty of decent, honest African Americans too.  There's one who lives right down the road from me.  Seems like a great guy.  So you can't blame all of them for one man.

Shortly after taking office, Eric Holder Federal Dick declared that he would not prosecute the fascist thugs of the new Black Panther party who had paraded in front of a polling place carrying weapons.  Holder said the panthers' actions weren't as bad as the sort of voter intimidation once practiced against [quote] "my people," by which I guess he meant fascists, or thugs, or just any bunch of evil schmucks in leather and dark glasses.

Eric Holder Federal Dick also helped improve people's lives by refusing to enforce laws like the Defense of Marriage Act because he didn't agree with them.  Thus he effectively stripped our elected representatives of their constitutional power to make meaningful legislation.  Which improved people's lives in more lawless countries like Burundi, because now they don't have to feel so bad when they compare their governments to ours.

But Eric Holder Federal Dick always took Americans' first amendment rights seriously and went out of his way to insure they would not be overused.  He tapped the phone calls and emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen, and secretly obtained phone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press.  Whenever people criticized the attorney general's actions, he accused the critics of "racial animus,"... then he hid his face in his hands and said, "Ha, ha, ha, I'm black so no one can see me."

And then there was Fast and Furious, a brilliantly conceived operation in which American law officers were forced to stand idly by while nearly 2,000 weapons were sold to Mexican mobsters.  Who could have ever foreseen that the mobsters would use these weapons to commit crimes, including the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent? Certainly not Eric Holder, Federal Dick.

When Congress attempted to investigate the Attorney General's role in this scheme, Eric Holder Federal Dick testified under oath that he had only found out about Fast and Furious recently; when memos were produced showing he'd known about it for nearly a year, he said he hadn't read the memos; when Congress tried to subpoena more documents, the president shielded Holder by declaring the documents were protected by executive privilege. When congress held the Attorney General in contempt, he hid his face in his hands and said, "Ha, ha, ha, I'm black so no one can see me."

It was because of actions like these that in a recent poll, Eric Holder was rated less favorably than Barack Obama, the Republican Party, hives, toothache, and a suspicious looking sore that breaks out on your lip unexpectedly before a big date.

So today we lift the tattered pages of what used to be our constitution to wave a fond farewell to Attorney General Eric Holder.

What a Federal Dick.

I'm Andrew Klavan with the Revolting Truth.

May Obama be Cursed with...

Friends,

ISIS fighters are reportedly about a mile away from Baghdad. We could be on the verge of seeing a 21st century version of the last U.S. helicopter taking off from the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon as the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong breached those gates.

My heart breaks for the blood and treasure lost in the sands of Iraq. May Obama be cursed with nightmares from all those fallen Soldiers.

Why Obama Can't Say His Spies Underestimated ISIS

On 60 Minutes, the president faulted his spies for failing to predict the rise of ISIS. There's one problem with that statement: The intelligence analysts did warn about the group.

Nearly eight months ago, some of President Obama's senior intelligence officials were already warning that ISIS was on the move. In the beginning of 2014, ISIS fighters had defeated Iraqi forces in Fallujah, leading much of the U.S. intelligence community to assess they would try to take more of Iraq.

But in an interview that aired Sunday evening, the president told 60 Minutes that the rise of the group now proclaiming itself a caliphate in territory between Syria and Iraq caught the U.S. intelligence community off guard. Obama specifically blamed James Clapper, the current director of national intelligence: "Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria," he said.

Reached by The Daily Beast after Obama's interview aired, one former senior Pentagon official who worked closely on the threat posed by Sunni jihadists in Syria and Iraq was flabbergasted. "Either the president doesn't read the intelligence he's getting or he's bull<snip>ting," the former official said.

Hypocritical Liberals...

Bill Maher did something extraordinary on Friday's Real Time on HBO: he destroyed hypocritical liberals by pointing out how much more they are outraged by infractions against their precious code of political correctness, while remaining deafeningly silent when it comes to true atrocities carried out by Islamic extremists.

Maher, an icon of leftist thought, showed true disdain for his own kind, especially those who so easily forget that Muslim nations carry out terrible punishments against anyone and for the minutest of reasons.

Through his own lens as a liberal, Maher explains how "liberal, Western culture is not just different [but] better" than what is found in Muslim countries.

He began by jabbing President Obama for insisting that ISIS is not Islamic. Maher joked:

Well, maybe they don't practice the Muslim faith the same way he does... but if vast numbers of Muslims across the world believe -- and they do -- that humans deserve to die for merely holding a different idea, or drawing a cartoon, or writing a book, or eloping with the wrong person -- not only does the Muslim world have something in common with ISIS, it has TOO MUCH in common with ISIS.

Before he jumped on liberals, Maher explained how to be one:

To count yourself a liberal, you have to stand up for liberal principles: free speech, separation of church and state, freedom to practice any religion, or no religion, without the threat of violence. Respect for minorities, including homosexuals, equality for women. 

But here is where it gets good -- Maher is right on point in his assessment of how mind-numingly hypocritical "his people" can be:

It amazes me how here in America, we go nuts over the tiniest violations of these values, while gross atrocities are ignored across the world. Jonah Hill yells, 'Suck my d***, f*ggot!' at the paparazzi, and an entire nation goes into Twitter outrage until he is forced to perform that most debasing of acts -- the talk show apology tour. Meanwhile in 10 countries, actually sucking a d*** can get you stoned, and not in a good way.

We hear a lot about the Republican 'War on Women.' It's not cool Rush Limbaugh called somebody a slut. Okay, but Saudi women can't vote, or drive, or hold a job, or leave the house without a man.

Overwhelming majorities in every Muslim country say a wife is always obliged to obey her husband. That all seems like a bigger issue than evangelical Christian bakeries refusing to make gay wedding cakes.

Maher even went after atheists -- specifically the atheist organization at Yale who complained that an ex-Muslim woman, and victim of genital mutilation in Somalia, was going to speak at the university because she "did not represent the totality of the ex-Muslim experience." Incredulously, Maher said:

Meaning what? The women who like mutilation? You're atheists, you should be attacking religion, not siding with the people who hold women down and violate them, which apparently you will defend in the name of multiculturalism. And then lose your sh*t when someone refers to Chaz Bono by the wrong pronoun.

Maher concluded:

Donald Sterling isn't allowed to own a team because he told his mistress not to post pictures with black guys. Okay, but if we're giving no quarter to intolerance, shouldn't we be starting with the mutilators, and the honor killers? Or will that divert us from the real problem? That when Mel Gibson drinks, he calls women sugar t*ts.

From Allen West...

Friends,

Today we've once again been exposed to the savage barbarism of Islam, and most disturbing, it's right here in our homeland.

A woman was beheaded in her workplace by a man who had tried to convert others to Islam. If not for the fact that the Chief Operating Officer of the company was exercising his Second Amendment rights, the carnage would have been worse.

I fully expect the Obama administration to classify this as "workplace violence." God bless these women who were savaged and their families. Molon Labe.

A Cheating Wife...

A man returns home a day early from a business trip. It's after midnight.

While en route home, he asks the cabby if he would be a witness.

The man suspects his wife is having an affair, and he wants to catch her in the act.

For $100, the cabby agrees.

Quietly arriving home, the husband and cabby tip toe into the bedroom.

The husband switches on the lights, yanks the blanket back and there is his wife in bed with another man!

The husband puts a gun to the naked  man's head.

The wife shouts, 'Don't do it! I lied when I told you I inherited  money'.

HE paid for the Porsche I gave you.

HE paid for our new cabin cruiser.

HE paid for your  Miami Heat season tickets.

HE paid for our house at the lake.

HE paid for your African safari and 4 x 4.

HE paid for our country club membership, and HE even pays the monthly dues!'

Shaking his head from side-to-side, the husband lowers the gun.

He looks over at the cabby and says, 'What would you do'?

The cabby replies, 'I'd cover him with that blanket before he catches a cold.'

Judge Napolitano...

n Fox News' Special Report on Thursday, contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano ripped Eric Holder's tenure as Attorney General to shreds, blasting him on every possible facet of his responsibilities in the joband his faithfulness to the constitution and to the American people.

"Every time that Barack Obama has bent, broken, avoided or evaded the constitution or federal law, Eric Holder has been at his side, cheering him on, providing intellectual cover, and purporting to give the president legal advice authorizing what the President wanted to do. From allowing the President to kill Americans, from allowing the President to spy on Americans, from personally authorizing the invasion of privacy of our colleague James Rosen, from seizing property from people who weren't even charged with crimes .. Eric Holder has been behind all of it."

The Judge went on to say he was the least faithful to the constitution of any Attorney General of modern times (though he misspoke and said President, which is also probably true.)

Interesting - on Holder

As a longtime, current employee of the Justice Department told us, Mr. Holder and his subordinates have "racialized and radicalized" the department "to the point of corruption." They have "embedded politically leftist extremists in the career ranks who have an agenda that does not comport with equal protection or the rule of law; who believe that the ends justify the means; and who behave unprofessionally and unethically. Their policy is to intimidate and threaten employees who do not agree with their politics, and even moderate Democrats have left the department, because they were treated as enemies by administration officials and their lackeys. Another black employee who has worked for the Justice Department for decades said to me, 'There is no justice left in Justice under this administration.'"

As this poll demonstrates, the American people recognize that Mr. Holder is an ideologue who considers himself part of Mr. Obama's political team first and the attorney general a very distant second. His first loyalty has been to helping the president break, bend, ignore or fail to enforce the law, doing untold damage to our constitutional system and the rule of law.

As former Justice Department prosecutor Andy McCarthy has said, the Justice Department under Mr. Holder has become "a sort of full-employment program for progressive activists, race-obsessed bean counters and lawyers who volunteered their services during the Bush years to help al Qaeda operatives file lawsuits against the United States."

There is no way to know how long it will take to repair the damage that Mr. Holder has d
