I'm all for bringing in Muslims who denounce the practice of traditional, dehumanizing and abusive Sharia. Others? Not welcome--not to visit or stay. Sharia is the prime generator of violent Islamist jihadism--not ISIS, not al Qaeda, etc. Yes, this would be hard to vet for, but we're going to have to figure out how.

Filmmaker Ami Horowitz was alarmed by the growing number of Somali Americans living in Minneapolis who have joined up with the Islamist-terror groups ISIS and al-Shabaab. So he recently traveled to that city to speak with members of the community about how much American values resonated with them, t...

POTUS NOT TRUTHFUL ON MUSLIM IDEOLOGY

America, what President Obama has been telling us about Muslims worldwide and American Muslims--about their tolerance, the "religion of peace," the adherence to civil rights and the rule of law, and their opposing "extremism"--is simply is not true. Data that he no doubt knows about flies in the face of his repeated claims.

"The Muslim community here feels deeply American, and deeply committed to upholding the rule of law, and working with law enforcement, and rejecting intolerance and extremism ... " -- President Barack Obama in 7/22/16 interview with CBS's John Nickerson.

"More than half (51%) of U.S. Muslims polled also believe either that they should have the choice of American or shariah courts, or that they should have their own tribunals to apply shariah. Only 39% of those polled said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts."

According to a new nationwide online survey (Below) of 600 Muslims living in the United States, of those polled a significant minority embraces the supremacist notions that could pose a threat to A…

WHAT TRUMP HAS TO DO TOMORROW TO EVEN HAVE A CHANCE AT SUFFICIENTLY UNITING THE PARTY

1. Apologize for his past behavior--and specifically mention his below-the-belt insults directed at campaign opponents and his demeaning behavior towards women, Latinos, etc.

2. Acknowledge that he has to have solid character and temperament to lead.

3. Acknowledge that more than ever the country and free world need a true leader who almost all people can respect and many can support.

4. Announce a few key cabinet members who have agreed to serve if they win.

5. Summarize what a strong America looks like. Cast the vision.

6. After speech, get at least Cruz and Kasich to endorse him and appear with him. (If he performs the steps above, this is possible.)

7. Get more specific on specific high-priority, unifying solutions such as:
a) Overhauling our national security mindset, approach, and apparatus; include cyber security.
b) Putting the Islamist jihadists on notice--that they will be eradicated soon.
c) Changing the government machinery, including working with Congress to change how we pass bills, including budgets.
d) Supporting a state-initiated Constitutional Convention to shift power back to the states.
e) Hit key steps in shifting capital from government to private sector.
f) Calling for election reforms.
g) Calling for the Republican Party to do a better job at connecting with middle class, selling their ideas, leading in education, and engaging others "not like them."
h) Pushing for a balance-budget amendment.
i) Calling for a commission to do nothing but recommend the elimination of regulations and laws.
j) Specifying border/immigration changes that actually will work and that have a chance at becoming law.
k) Tying up loose ends on tax code reform.
l) Making it clear that no one will be above the law.
m) Specifying plan to attack structural debt.
n) Specifying trade agreements he would support
o) Denouncing racial identity and call for our focus on cultural harmony instead. Take race off every government form.
p) Rattling off a list of names he will nominate to federal judgeships and SCOTUS.
q) Calling for legal reforms--so justice does not depend on what you have in your wallet.
r) Proposing monetary and central bank reforms.
s) Exhorting the country to rise to the occasion and take responsibility for taking on challenges that the government can't do. Another "Ask not what ..."

STOP THE FAUX RAGERS

America, don't you see what's happening?

This group, like ACORN, MOVEON.ORG, Occupy, and Hands Up, are led and financed by leftist rage-and-strife bullies who care NOTHING about justice and human rights. For them, it's all about emotionally-charged rushes to judgment and Alinskyesque shakedowns, power, and money grabs.

Because of the violence they incite, we must expose and marginalize them at the very least. Financiers like Soros need to be sued to kingdom come. It may be time to use the anti-racketeering laws to stop these groups for good and bring some to justice.
In the aftermath of most of the multiple, racially-charged explosions, the police officers have been exonerated. Actually, remind me of the cases where the cops were actually found guilty of racism or maltreatment. Who's got the scorecard?

Even in the Minneapolis tragedy, it's already looking like the Latino cop was not reacting to race, but rather a gun and how it was being handled by the victim. He may have reacted erroneously--but racism?

Do we see Hands Up apologizing to Officer Wilson over Ferguson? Do we see BLM apologizing about Baltimore and what they did to their police officers? Do we see them marching in crime-ridden neighborhoods where the slaughter of blacks is routine? Do we see President Obama, a former ACORN operative, visiting these neighborhoods and lecturing them about violence--including those in his home town? No, they'd all rather wag their fingers at Trump and the NRA, and disrupt their events--even violently.

Ironically, some of the nation's most obvious racism and hate we're seeing in an organized, deliberate manner are in these groups. Ironically, some of the nation's most blatant and prolific violations of civil rights are being committed by members of these groups. Ironically, those committing gun violence, including mass shootings, have, overwhelmingly, leftist ideologies like those upheld in these groups.

Those being used by these groups need to wake up.

Disgusting strife-profiteering phonies all!

TIME FOR AMERICA TO LOOK AT THE SHARIA DATA

It's data like this that President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry, and so many others ignore. Ditto for too many on the right.

This is why we need to ask Muslims about Sharia--certainly before they are allowed to immigrate, and likely before they are allowed to visit us as well. What many don't understand is that for many if not most Muslims who uphold Sharia as they understand it, Sharia is to be a pervasive governing culture that all citizens should uphold. In other words, it is likely their intent to eventually supplant our Constitution and human rights laws so that they can observe Sharia--AND eventually expect all citizens to do the same. If you don't think this has already happened, read your history. Also look at the Pew data. Millions of Muslims across the globe desire to force Islam and/or Sharia upon non-Muslims.

One thing that is troubling with this data is that it does not include Saudi Arabia, the bosom of Sunni Islam and the home of Mecca. And it's not hard to figure out why--in light of the deals that we've made with them that have made us vulnerable.

TED: AN OPPORTUNITY TO WALK THE TALK ... AND BTW GET ELECTED

SENATOR Ted Cruz has an opportunity to propel himself as a doer rather than a talker by doing something RIGHT NOW. By leading in Congress, instead of doing anything else, he can show us how he can lead the nation ... or not.

Instead of making one more speech on the campaign trail, how about Senator Ted Cruz demonstrating that he can work with and help lead Congress to enact and pass a robust Congress reform act that addresses OUR longstanding broken legislative and fiscal processes and rules. In addition, there may be a need to launch an effort to repeal, modify, or add Constitutional Amendments.

There are a lot of ideas out there, and I'm not sure which ones would stick, but here are some of them (and I'm not saying I support all of these):

1. Require balance budgets. At a certain point towards the end of the fiscal process, legislators and their staff do not get paid until they pass 1) a balanced budget; and 2) in-budget spending bills. They are fined if they are late. We probably need an amendment for this, but in the meantime, let's pass a law.

2. Use the tax code only for revenue.

3. Ditch revenue-neutral tax reforms and instead actually reduce revenues and size of government.

4. Have regular robust audits of each agency and department to justify each government organization and function and to ensure they are being properly run.

5. Have term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below.
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

6. No tenure/no pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

7. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.

8. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

9. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

10. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

11. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

12. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

13. Abolish the filibuster practice and limiting debate on any bill to 30 hours.

14. Establishing specific periods in the legislative calendar when committees undertake oversight.

15. Adopt a congressional workweek that allows members to spend more time in Washington, D.C., for example, a five-day workweek for three weeks, with one week off for work in their home states/districts.

16. Move Congress to a location near the center of the country. Technology obviates the requirement of the other two branches to be co-located.

17. Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment and return to state legislatures the function of electing the U.S. Senate. This would force Congress to be more accountable to the states and, therefore, we the people. It would force Washington to work closer with the states.

18. No more riders and earmarks that are not germane to the bill.

19. Bills must be posted on the appropriate Congressional websites a week before they are voted on so the people can read them.

20. All spending bills must be filtered through a waste, fraud, and abuse committee before they are presented for a vote before Congress. The committee has the authority to strip items from the bill.
