Bucking our society’s leftward lurch has been public opinion on two issues, pre-natal infanticide and Second Amendment-protected rights. In fact, leftists were very quiet on gun control for a long time after some analysts attributed former vice president Al Gore’s 2000 election loss to advocacy of the position. But now gun control is back, and Democrats have finally perhaps found a foolproof formula for passing it: Tie it in with the fight against terrorists.

It has now been confirmed: It is simply impossible to sufficiently vet the Muslim migrants entering our nation. Intelligence officials have said it. The Greek government has said it. And now a New York City Syrian community leader has this to say about Barack Obama’s claim that it is possible to distinguish between terrorists and other migrants: “Are you out of your mind?”
He is 57-year-old Aarafat “Ralph” Succar. Having arrived in the United States at age 10 and living in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, home of the Big Apple’s largest Syrian-immigrant enclave, Succar can straddle two very different worlds. One of them is a source of terrorists.
The other world is taking them in.

“Is Barack Obama delusional?” This question was asked mere days ago by Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly and about a month ago, in almost the same words, at ex-congressman Allen West’s website. In fact, critics are increasingly using the d-word to describe the president, a man whose policies they say reflect dislocation from reality. And new information from White House sources shed insight on why this very well may be the case:
Obama simply refuses to read intelligence reports and memoranda that contradict his ideological prejudices.
So says ex-CBS News reporter and Emmy-award-winning investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson, citing Obama administration officials “in the know.” Attkisson, host of the Sunday morning news program “Full Measure” and author of best-selling book Stonewalled, reports that Obama’s censorship of reality applies even to serious national-security matters.

With the Paris terror attack and flooding of Western nations with Muslim migrants, Senator Ted Cruz and others have proposed limiting Muslim immigration into the U.S. In response, Barack Obama and John McCain have said that having a “religious test” for newcomers would be un-American. It’s a belief betraying dangerous philosophical juvenility.
Before getting to the deeper issues, it doesn’t take an Aristotelian mind to grasp the following: If one million Chinese Christians immigrated to our nation, the probability is decent that not even one of them would turn to terrorism. The same cannot be said of Muslim newcomers. And as I’ve pointed out repeatedly, if 1/10th of 1 percent of 1,000,000 of them are terrorists, that’s still 1000 dangerous jihadists. Terrorism today is a Muslim phenomenon.

How many bullets can the United States dodge before it experiences the third installment to 9/11 and Paris’ 11/13? This is a pressing question with the revelation that almost 70 ISIS-linked plotters in the United States have been arrested during the last 18 months alone — and that among them are “refugees” granted entry by American authorities.

What’s the point in the West sending troops to the Middle East if we bring the Middle East to the West? The preceding is a money line, one that should be used by Islam realists from Germany to Georgia.
The Paris terror attack has inspired much debate, from conservatives saying we need to confront ISIS aggressively overseas to liberals wringing their hands over rising anti-Islam sentiment that they claim will exacerbate the jihadist problem. And while I’m more sympathetic to the former sentiment than the latter, nothing should distract us from what must be our number-one priority: stopping the Muslim influx into the West cold.

We recently learned that at least one of the jihadists who killed 129 people in Paris held a Syrian refugee passport. And now a high-ranking Syrian diplomat says this may be just the tip of the iceberg.
The diplomat is Syria’s ambassador to India, Riad Abbas, and he recently related a shocking claim.

It’s a tragic fact of man’s nature that people prescribe an ounce of prevention when a pound of cure is needed — and a pound of cure when times call for a ton of desperate measures.
Immigration, rightly and largely thanks to Donald Trump, has become a big issue this election cycle.
But not big enough.

Is Canadian pop star Justin Bieber the most powerful man in America? Yes — if music mogul Russell Simmons is to be believed. According to Simmons, celebrities in general have a lot of clout with the Obama White House — but he says, “Bieber is who makes it pop.”
To support his incredible assertion, Simmons cites one 2013 tweet from Bieber that inspired a call from then-Attorney General Eric Holder “within two hours” and the introduction of a bill in Congress within two weeks.

Another day, another story about Islam making inroads into Western civilization, aided and abetted by "leaders" to whom treason is the norm. As the Birmingham Mail's Harvey Day writes:
Pupils at Oldknow Academy, a school implicated in the Trojan horse scandal, were led in anti-Christian chants in assemblies, it has been alleged.
Teacher Asif Khan allegedly led pupils shouting: “We don’t believe in Christmas, do we?” and “Jesus wasn’t born in Bethlehem, was he?”, a tribunal was told
In these assemblies Mr Khan who was a classroom teacher, also allegedly talked about “hellfire” and “prostitutes”.
