Hillary The Hawk, A Disciple of Death, Britain's Fifth Column, Immigration Scrambles Politics	Hillary The Hawk? There were a lot of reminders last week about the brutal reality of the world we live in. Beheadings. Crucifixions. Threats against major U.S. cities. Unfortunately, it is not at all clear that the images and drama had any impact on the neo-isolationism of the Paul family.
ISIS Warnings, Israel Update, Scandal Update, Good News	More Warnings On ISIS Military and political leaders are ratcheting up their warnings regarding the threat America faces from the jihadists of ISIS. For example:
Thursday, August 21, 2014	Will The West Win This Time? President Obama interrupted his Martha's Vineyard vacation yesterday to address the beheading of American journalist James Foley. Obama mustered all the outrage and anger he is apparently capable of.
Will West Win, ISIS & Hamas, Bless You	Will The West Win This Time? President Obama interrupted his Martha's Vineyard vacation yesterday to address the beheading of American journalist James Foley. Obama mustered all the outrage and anger he is apparently capable of.
Radical Islam, Christian Persecution, Illegal Immigration	Hamas Breaks Ceasefire Again The latest truce between Israel and Hamas unraveled yesterday after talks in Cairo failed to resolve one of the major issues -- Hamas' demand for open airports and seaports, which Israel will not agree to unless Gaza is demilitarized. The reason should be obvious to anyone. A completely open airport and seaport will mean more weapons from Iran pouring into Gaza, guaranteeing that the next war will be even more costly to Israel.
The Violent Left, ISIS Here	Violent Left Descends On Ferguson During the violence last night in Ferguson, two things -- one disturbing and one hopeful -- became apparent. Nearly three dozen people were arrested, and it is clear that outsiders are streaming into Ferguson to perpetuate the violence and create chaos. The Washington Post writes that many people have "arrived by bus and by car from Chicago, Detroit, Brooklyn and elsewhere." A police official shared nearly 50 arrest reports and "a large number have addresses listed in Illinois or in Texas."
Ferguson In Flames, Frustration And Values, Liberals Defend Rick Perry	Ferguson In Flames Beyond a critique of Obama's comments on press freedom, I have avoided commenting on the turmoil in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked by the death of 18 year-old Michael Brown. The first thing that should be obvious but is being widely ignored is that many of the people who are publicly commenting on the case don't know what happened.
Press Hypocrisy, Yazidi Crisis, Christian Persecution, Values Voter Summit	*BREAKING NEWS:* There are unconfirmed reports of renewed fighting in Ukraine, potentially involving a direct engagement between Russian and Ukrainian military forces. Watch for additional developments over the weekend. Thugs around the world, from Putin to ISIS, are on the march as they see America in retreat. "Obama Calls For Calm, Then Golfs"
Rhetoric vs. Reality, Navy Bans Bibles, Frustration and Immigration	Rhetoric vs. Reality Late yesterday the Pentagon announced that observers on the ground determined that the crisis on Mt. Sinjar had eased, making a planned rescue operation "far less likely." A more accurate description would be that the crisis has simply moved. As the increasing ranks of homeless Iraqis and crucified Christians attest, the crisis posed by Islamic State jihadists is far from over.
Quo Vadis Barack, Pastors Speak Up, Kudos To Trent Franks	Quo Vadis, Barack? For those not familiar with Latin, the phrase means, "Where are you going"? The president of the United States is often referred to as the leader of the free world. But neither our friends nor our foes know where he will lead us next. Earlier in the week, NBC's Chuck Todd said, "I've been trying to figure out [Obama's] doctrine now for six years. He doesn't have one. … It's almost like he pushes and pulls… And he goes back and forth…" And so it seems with Iraq.
