Obama’s Message to ISIS Leaders – “You’re Next” – Video

ARLINGTON, VA - JULY 6: (AFP OUT) U.S. President Barack Obama delivers remarks after meeting with members of his national security team concerning ISIS at the Pentagon July 6, 2015 in Arlington, Virginia.

Maybe because of all the noise we’ve heard from the Republican presidential candidates lately, that President Obama is “doing nothing about ISIS” and “Obama has no plan” for ISIS, that caused the President to hold this brief press conference, reminding Americans and the world of all the successes the US led coalition against ISIS is having.

Surrounded by some of his top generals, the President outlined a few of the things his administration and coalition forces have done, including the nearly 9,000 bombs dropped on ISIS targets as of December 14th, and the taking out of ISIS leaders, “one by one.”

The President stressed the point that “ISIL cannot hide,” saying that “our message to their leaders is, ‘you’re next.'”

Jeb Bush – “Hillary Clinton would Clean” Donald Trump – Really Jeb? “Clean?”

Jeb Bush opened his mouth again and again, another awkward statement jumped out!

In another recent interview, Jeb talked about why he should win the nomination and not Donald Trump. And according to the JebCanFixIt man, a Hillary Clinton / Donald Trump match-up would result in Hillary cleaning Donald.

“I cannot imagine Donald Trump becoming president because he would never win. He would never win, Hillary Clinton would clean him.”

Now, maybe I’m reading too much into this statement. Maybe this is just an innocent proclamation by the Republican presidential wannabe, or maybe like his brother George, Jeb just cannot control the things that come out of his mouth. But whatever the reason, the last think I need in my brain is a visual of Hillary cleaning Donald.

I’m having lunch for crying out loud!

Police Shooting – Black Man Shot Dead while Walking Away from Police – Video

Eye witnesses say the man, a 28-year-old, was walking with a gun and “shooting rounds into the air.” Police say their commands for the man to drop the gun were ignored, so they fired multiple rounds at the man as he walked then crawled away from them, killing him.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the shooting happened around 11 a.m. outside of an Arco gas station near Long Beach Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue.

Deputies from the Century Station responded to the area after receiving multiple calls about a man in a checkered shirt with a gun and shots being fired.

An eyewitness who asked to remain anonymous captured video of the gunfire and said the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Nick Robertson, was shooting in the air and did not want to comply with commands.

Deputies at the scene said they yelled multiple commands at the suspect to drop the gun, but ended up opening fire when he didn’t listen.

In the video, Robertson is seen walking away from officers and then several rounds are fired. He is seen injured, crawling on the ground. Deputies fire several more shots until he stops moving.

Other witnesses at the scene told authorities they saw the suspect turn and point the gun at the deputies prior to the shooting.

“The video is just one piece of evidence that’s going to be examined as part of a comprehensive, long investigation and that’ll be analyzed against the physical evidence, the witness statements and the deputies’ statements,” LASD Lt. Eddie Hernandez said.

Ben Carson Goes After Ted Cruz – Cruz “spent his time schmoozing for big money”

Ben Carson was once considered the front-runner in the Republican race for the presidential nomination in 2016, but Carson has seen his support erode, mainly because of a political onslaught of attacks from Donald Trump. Ted Cruz, has no doubt gather up much of Carson’s support and has effectively taken second place behind Trump. Now, Carson is resorting to the politician in him and going after Ted Cruz.

In comparing himself and his work to that of Ted Cruz, Carson argued that unlike Cruz, he spent his life making life-or-death operating calls instead of attending swanky parties and raised campaign cash in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

“There’s no question as I haven’t spent a lot of time schmoozing and asking for big money and going to cocktail parties, but I’ve spent many a night in the operating room — cold, sterile place with a little child’s life on the line working very hard to preserve that,” Carson said.

“You know, it’s a very different kind of experience,” he said. “Lots of 2 a.m. in the morning calls and making snap decisions on what needs to be done.”

Of course, Carson’s attack came after The New York Times released audio of Cruz criticizing both Donald Trump and Ben Carson’s ability to be commander-in-chief.

“Who is prepared to be a commander-in-chief?” Cruz says on the audio. ?Who understands the threats we face? Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for voters.”

Remains of Terrorist Wife Still Unclaimed in San Bernardino Morgue

The want nothing to do with the remains of Tashfeen Malik, the terrorist wife of Syed Rizwan Farook. And her bullet-riddled body lays unclaimed at a morgue in San Bernardino as the Muslim community wants nothing to do with her.

“No one wants to claim her and no one wants to do the funeral,” a well-placed source within the Muslim community told FoxNews.com.  “They are all waiting for someone else to be the one to take care of this part of it.”

Local political and religious leaders have been trying to get someone to agree to perform a burial for Malik in adherence with Islamic tradition, but so far no one wants to take on the controversial duties. Malik did not worship at local mosques and was not known in the Muslim community before she and her husband launched the massacre at Inland Regional Center, where his co-workers were holding a holiday party Dec. 2. The pair, who had a 6-month-old daughter, was killed hours later in a shootout with police.

Ted Cruz Opens HUGE 10 Point Lead on Trump in Iowa

So Ted Cruz’s decision not to attack Donald Trump is apparently paying off. While Donald wait for Cruz to throw the first punch, Cruz is quietly chipping away at Trump’s inevitability, slowly corroding the banks of Trump’s credence. While Trump cast a blind eye in Cruz’s direction, Cruz is forever nipping at Trump’s heels.

Ted Cruz has soared ahead of Donald Trump in a new Iowa poll, opening up a 10-point lead in the critical first-in-the-nation voting state.

The Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics poll released on Saturday finds Cruz commanding 31% of likely Republican caucus-goers in the state, 10 points ahead of Trump, who received 21%.

For Cruz, the poll represents a massive 21-point jump from a survey conducted by the two outlets in October.

Cruz and Trump will face off Tuesday in Las Vegas at the next Republican presidential debate, sponsored by CNN.

“We have more work to do, but we can definitively say the message is working,” Cruz’s Iowa state director, Bryan English, told CNN in a statement.

President’s Weekly Address – Fighting Terrorism – Video

President Obama used his weekly address to once again address the terrorism fears in American and worldwide, and the steps his administration has taken and will continue to take, in fighting the terrorist threat.

This week, Americans across our country have shown what it means to be strong in the face of terrorism. In San Bernardino, even as the community continues to grieve, people are refusing to be ruled by fear. Across the county, dedicated public servants are on the job – and more will be returning to work this week. Faith communities have come together in fellowship and prayer. Families lined the streets for the annual children’s Christmas parade—because we can’t let terrorists change how we live our lives.

Meanwhile, our men and women in uniform are stepping up our campaign to destroy ISIL. Our airstrikes are hitting ISIL harder than ever, in Iraq and Syria. We’re taking out more of their fighters and leaders, their weapons, their oil tankers. Our Special Operations Forces are on the ground—because we’re going to hunt down these terrorists wherever they try to hide. In recent weeks, our strikes have taken out the ISIL finance chief, a terrorist leader in Somalia and the ISIL leader in Libya. Our message to these killers is simple—we will find you, and justice will be done.

This week, we’ll move forward on all fronts. On Monday, I’ll go to the Pentagon. And there, I’ll review our military campaign and how we can continue to accelerate our efforts. Later in the week, I’ll go to the National Counterterrorism Center. There, I’ll review our efforts—across our entire government—to prevent attacks and protect our homeland. And this week, the Department of Homeland Security will update its alert system to ensure Americans get more information, including steps that you and your communities can take to be vigilant and to stay safe.

A Mississippi man charged with shooting and killing two police officers in May was found unresponsive in his jail cell and later was pronounced dead, a sheriff’s office official said on Saturday, Reuters Reports.

Marvin Banks, 30, faced two counts of capital murder in the shooting deaths of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, police officers Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25, who were gunned down in during a routine traffic stop on May 9. It was the first killing of a police officer in the city for more than 30 years.

Deputies found Banks unconscious and alone in a jail cell on Friday, Forrest County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Nick Calico said.

Paramedics attempted to revive Banks before taking him to a hospital where he pronounced dead at 7:40 p.m., according to Calico.

Calico said the cause of death was unknown. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation will handle the case and an autopsy will be performed, he said.

Major News Outlets Apparently Boycotting Bernie Sanders’ Campaign

Bernie Sanders is one of the Democratic Presidential candidate running alongside Hillary Clinton. He gets the bigger crowd at campaign events and the Democratic base is energized about his campaign. But you will never know that if you watch the major news where Sanders’ name is not even mention. It’s as if he’s not even running.

MediaMatters looked into this and confirmed that a Bernie Blockout is in effect.

Does that ratio seem out of whack? That’s the ratio of TV airtime that ABC World News Tonight has devoted to Donald Trump’s campaign (81 minutes) versus the amount of TV time World News Tonight has devoted to Bernie Sanders’ campaign this year. And even that one minute for Sanders is misleading because the actual number is closer to 20 seconds.

For the entire year.

That’s the rather stunning revelation from the Tyndall Report, which tracks the various flagship nightly news programs on NBC, CBS and ABC. The Report’s campaign findings cover the network evening newscasts from January 1 through the end of November.

The results confirm two media extremes in play this year, and not just at ABC News. The network newscasts are wildly overplaying Trump, who regularly attracts between 20-30 percent of primary voter support, while at the same time wildly underplaying Sanders, who regularly attracts between 20-30 percent of primary voter support. (Sanders’ supporters have longcomplained about the candidate’s lack of coverage.)

Obviously, Trump is the GOP frontrunner and its reasonable that he would get more attention than Sanders, who’s running second for the Democrats. But 234 total network minutes for Trump compared to just 10 network minutes for Sanders, as the Tyndall Report found?

Andrew Tyndall provided the breakdown by network of Sanders’ 10 minutes of coverage, via email [emphasis added]:

CBS Evening News: 6.4 minutes

NBC Nightly News: 2.9 minutes

ABC World News: 0.3

But how can they be? ABC News, for instance, clearly devoted more than 20 seconds to covering the Democratic debates, which featured news of Sanders, right?

As Tyndall explained to me, the number “counts stories filed about the Sanders campaign or from the Sanders campaign. Obviously he is mentioned in passing in other coverage of the Democratic field overall, specifically his performance in the debates.”

So in terms of stand-alone campaign stories this year, it’s been 234 minutes for Trump, compared to 10 minutes for Sanders. And at ABC World News Tonight, it’s been 81 minutes for Trump and less than one minute for Sanders.

Charles Barkley Slams Trump, his “Loser” Supporters and CNN – Video

It was just a matter of time before NBA Great, Charles Barkley, makes his feelings known on the upcoming presidential election and the cast of characters involved. In his regular commentary routine for NBA games on TNT, Charles Barkley unloaded on Donald Trump, his supporters and CNN!

“This Donald Trump thing has been fascinating, sad, funny … it’s all over the place,” Barkley said. It’s been sad to watch him insult people and then see his numbers go up. He started out by insulting Hispanics … now to lump all the Muslims together, that’s even more insulting.”

“Then you have these losers who love that because they’re afraid to look in the mirror and see why their life sucks. So they have to blame other people. Your life sucks for reasons because of you, not because of Hispanics. … It’s been said to watch every time he insults people, his poll numbers go out … (Trump) and (fellow GOP condtender) Ben Carson, to be honest with you.”

And he had a thing or two to say about CNN, sister-station to TNT

“To be honest with you, CNN has done an awful job this election,” Barkley said. “They have followed ratings and sound bites this entire cycle. Think about it. I love CNN. They’re part of our company, but they’ve been kissing butt chasing ratings. They’ve become like Fox News for the Republicans, to be honest for you. They follow every single sound bite just to get ratings for these debates. And it’s been sad and frustrating that our company has sold its soul for ratings.”

Barkley says he’s always voted Democrat, but he’s a supporter of GOP candidate John Kasich.

“For the first time i was thinking … i made a final decision to vote for a Republican,” Barkley said. “But (Kasich) has not been able to get any traction whatsoever, so to be honest, at this point I have no idea who I’m gong to vote for. I’m going to support (Ohio) Governor Kasich, but he’s got to be relevant and unfortunately he hasn’t been able to gain any ground.’

Billionaire Mark Cuban – Donald Trump is “trying to F*ck the Country” – Video

On an appearance on Larry Wilmore’s “Nightly Show,” Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, likened Donald Trump to a guy who “will say whatever it’ll take to get laid.” but in Trump’s case, Cuban said Trump is trying to do more than just getting laid. He’s trying to “F*ck” to country!”

“He’s like that guy who walks into the bar, and will say whatever it’ll take to get laid. Only in this case he’s not trying to f*ck some girl. He’s trying to f*ck the country,” he said.

Cuban said he actually like Trump and admitted they are friends. But like most people, Cuban said Trump is that “stupid” friend who say “stupid sh*t” every once in a while.

“Everybody’s got that friend that they pick on, that one guy that you know has a good heart and wants to do the right thing but does some of the stupidest shit all the time,” he said. “I actually like him and get along with him, but he’s kinda gone off.”
