Yet, the Jihadis remain a mystery to those who control the message. The media (the President) BLAME anyone or anything BUT NOT Islam. Islam, is the Religion of "Peace".
And then came RAMADAN 2016 (June 5th to July 5) On Wednesday, June 8, 2016 (the day before the "Shame on Cuomo" protest) Jihadis MURDERED innocent people sitting in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. In celebration, Muslims shared candies, laughing, smiling, cheering for this 'successful' act of terrorism.
Hamas has praised the attack ... Fireworks were set off in Gaza and Hebron in celebration of the attack.[48]
Some Palestinian citizens in East Jerusalem and Tulkarm started to celebrate the event by handing out candies ... Jpost reported that Salma al-Jamal, a Palestinian news anchor working at Al-Jazeera TV, wrote on Twitter: "The Ramadan operation is the best answer to stories about 'peace process' that some people are trying in vain to revive."
On Thursday, June 9, 2016. The "Shame on Governor Cuomo" protest gathered outside the NY Governor's Manhattan office building.
Soc/Commie/Progs, many anti-Israel Jews, were angry.
Very angry that the Governor had signed an executive order against the BDS movement.
Jewish Voice for Peace, a social justice group that co-organized the protest, blasted Cuomo’s executive order as an unconstitutional “attempt to repress the growing movement for Palestinian rights.”
Gov. Cuomo proclaimed, “If you boycott Israel, New York will boycott you.” “I am signing an Executive Order that says very clearly we are against the BDS movement,” Cuomo tweeted on Sunday.
About the BDS bill: "Gov. Cuomo's executive order – the first of its kind signed by a governor – demands that a list of businesses supporting BDS directly or indirectly be drawn up over the next six months."
“In New York, we lead by example. We are also a place of action. We want to take immediate action because we want Israel to know that we are on their side,” the governor said ...
[...] A wave of anti-BDS legislation has been introduced, and in some cases passed, in Congress and in state legislatures across the country, including South Carolina, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, California, Indiana, and Virginia."
“This order sends the message that this state will do everything in its power to end this hateful, intolerant campaign. New York and Israel share an unbreakable bond and I pray that the Israeli and Palestinian people will find a way to live side by side and find peace, prosperity, and security,” he said.
Next, videos and slideshows. A look at the "Shame On Cuomo" protestors and the stalwart opposition.
The "Thank You Gov Cuomo" counter-protest infiltrated the sidewalk maize of Lefties, their THANK YOU Governor signs held high over the crowd.
They walked within the gridlocked Commie-circle of bodies that was thickest at the entrance to the office building (of course).
The Commies pretended to co-operate with the police who worked valiantly to keep them moving.
But, the well-rehearsed sidewalk blockage ("somehow") did not get loosened .... while the drum, drum, drummer kept on drumming along.

The counter-protest in support of Cuomo's anti-BDS executive order.
RAMADAN 2016 [June 5-July 5] there have (already) ... been Jihad murders... There will be many more .... as many Muslims [observing Ramadan] worldwide read the entire Qur’an ... [it is a FACT that]
Jihad groups routinely and unanimously couch their appeals and justifications in Qur’anic terms.
Genocidal Chants and Lies commemorating the"nakba" fraud were blasted outside NY City Hall on Sunday, May 15, 2016.
The "nakba" is the failed invasion of Israel by foreign Muslim armies, by Egyptian, Iraqi, Syrian and Jordanian forces, that began on May 15, 1948 and is now an annual "day of mourning" over the miserable defeat of their invading armies at the hands of the indigenous Jewish population.
[to] celebrate Islamic terrorism
and discuss who was living in Israel first: These two topics are the
beginning and end of any "Palestinian" identity. And both of them
involve hating Jews.
FACT: "palestine" is a parasitic political entity that derives its wealth... water... electricity from Israel and gets its history... culture... its entire reason for existing from Israel.
The LIES: An exhibit in March 2012, at the Metropolitan Museum, perpetuated the HOAX of a peaceful Islamic Cultural expansion. FACT: Islamic culture is genocidal appropriation comprised of "historical" LIES and Fraud.
The Muslim INVADERS claim that King David was a Muslim, that Jesus was a "palestinian" and that theStar of David, which long predated Islam, is an Islamic symbol.
150 years ago, Mark Twain visited Muslim-occupied Israel and wrote of “unpeopled deserts” and “mounds of barrenness,” of “forlorn” and “untenanted” cities.
Palestine is “desolate,” he concluded. “One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings.”
The same is true of the "palestinian" Museum
which opened in 2016 with much fanfare and one slight problem: while
admission is free, there’s nothing inside for any of the visitors to see
except the bare walls.
'palestine' has no past ... no future. When the Muslim Invaders take over countries. cities. villages. churches. cathedrals. synagogues. temples. All must accept Islam, SUBMIT or Die.
They ERASE all evidence of any history before Islam. Perpetuating the LIE that ISLAM is not the problem. The JEWS are. Israel IS.
The INDIGENOUS peoples of the Holy Land are THE JEWS. Which is WHY a
museum a few miles outside the capital of the "palestinian" Authority...
find(s) (no)thing “palestinian” to exhibit in what it claims is historic ("palestinian") land.... The bare walls testify that... there is no palestinian culture. There is no palestinian history.
VIDEO 1 - THE TRUTH denied as anti-Israel Genocidal Chants and Lies assault all who pass-by.
The chants: Hudna, Hudna don't
you cry, "Fakestine" will never die" - We Want 48, We don't want a Two
State - We don't wanta a Two- State, We want 48! - "When People are
Occupied, Resistance is Justified "(followed by the ubiquitous chants) "The People United will Never be Defeated" and "Free Free "Fakestine", "Long Live "Fakestine".
A male speaker:"When
we say we want to return, it's not just a slogan. We don't play any
games. We are genuine about our cause and about our beliefs. Make no
mistake, when we said we want "Fakestine' to be free, we MEAN just that :
"From the River to the Sea! "Fakestine" will be Free." Let the whole
world hear you. let the politicians , the Zionists walking around taking
picture (I think he means ME)... the Mossad.
We have no doubt that ONE DAY, no matter how long it takes, we will
return to our beloved "ancestral-homeland" "Fakestine" . LONG LIVE
"FAKESTINE". It's not over til we get our LAND back. Never Forget. Never
FORGIVE. We WILL Return! Free Free "Fakestine"
VIDEO 2 - "nakba" lies outside NY City Hall joined by Communist radicals warn that "violence is necessary". Laura Whitehorn & Lamis Deek-Whitehorn spent 14 years in Federal Prison. Deek
is an attorney who never met a radical she didn't want to represent.
Both in New York's CITY HALL Park demanding the creation of ANOTHER
Islamic State of Apartheid - in the Middle East- those "BASTIONS of
equality!
[00:00 to 00:48] Excerpt from Communist Radical [aka "political" prisoner] LAURA WHITEHORN
was charged with “conspiracy to influence, change, and protest policies
and practices of the United States government by violent and illegal
means".
She received a sentence of twenty years - released after 14. In the 60s, Whitehorn was active in the "civil rights" movement, supported the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Movement and the New Afrikan Independence Movement, Puerto Rican Independence and the liberation of women, gays and lesbians. Whitehorn also lists fighting the KKK
and organized white supremacy ...
YET she was in CITY HALL park
demanding the creation of ANOTHER Islamic State of apartheid - in the
Middle East- those "BASTIONS of Equality!" WHITEHORN insists that "the delegation Jews are anti-Zionist Jews .This has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. It is an national Liberation Movement."
[00:49 to 3:56] Second female speaker most likely, Jihadi Attorney at Law- LAMIS DEEK."Fakestinians"
do not accord legitimacy to Israel. Israel is called the 48. BRING that
message HERE. Stop saying Israel! Israel is "48". Israel's BANNED from
the Land of "Fakestinians". we must FREE "Fakestine"
A "Two-State
Solution" is ABSOLUTELY NO Solution. We fought apartheid. We fought
racism. we fought genocide in "Fakestine" and it is our responsibility
here in the U.S. to make sure that this does not continue to happen. The
U.S. as we all know funds Israel to the tune of 4-5 BILLION dollars.
That means in the U.S. our hands are filled with blood. We need to take a
stand against it. We need to be in the streets. And we need to LINK the
Black Liberation Movement AND the Liberation Movement of OPPRESSED
people IN the United States - Native Americans, Chicanos, Puerto
Ricans.... fight to 'free Fakestine" . We stand here in solidarity.
Every year. The crowd cheered as Lamis gave encouragement and support
for violence as a necessary act of resistance (when necessary)
Re Political Prisoners: Whitehorn and Deek
waxed on and on about violent felons [also "political" prisoners"]
claiming they were imprisoned wrongfully. Bombs - they're just another
form of litter...perhaps... Lamis seems to think so.... As she mentions that Whitehorn
spent 14 years in prison (in part) because she BOMBED the headquarters
of the Israeli Aircraft Industry right here in NYC. (the crowd CHEERS). "Part
of what we need to understand, people who's Nations have been under
'attack" have THE RIGHT- by any means necessary to DEFEND their homeland "(the crowd goes wild with CHEERS again) "In
the United States- Black Political Prisoners. White Political
Prisoners. Chicanos. Native Americans. We say FREEDOM to "Fakestine". We
won't stop until Freedom until "Fakestine" is Free."
Outside NY City Hall Park- Patriot Jim defended Israel by exposing the LIES about "Fakestine".
At one point he was joined by a British fellow passing by who also
challenged the "Fakestinan" LIES. This man, as well as Patriot Jim, were
a huge source of irritation for the Commies and Muslims .
VIDEO 3 - "What
a SUCCESS story you guys are. yeah yeah Liberal States have been great
for Gays...good for gays, good for women...what a joke...you're all so
confused...44 Arab States, not enough: Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq-
another one and then another one- you're a BASTION of equality; a
bastion of democracy."(Responding to a Muslim female) "Every Arab country's apartheid. How about women's rights, gay rights...you're an f-ing moron. How about women's rights?"
(The Muslima responds) "They're Great" (followed by a non sequitur) "A 100,000 'palestinians' died." (The Brit responds as cops make him leave ), "You're not a Liberal, you're a MORON". Move along-mustn't upset the Muslim protestors chanting over and over for "One solution- Intifada- Revolution". Translated: "Death to the Jews. ERASE "the 48, aka Israel" from the history books.
The TRUTH: "There
is no such thing as a "palestinian" people, no such thing as a
"palestinian" history and no "palestinian" language exists. There has
never been any independent, sovereign "palestinian" state in all of
recorded history."
City Hall Park- NYC- Muslims. Communists. Black Panther Racists join the media (our schools) our educated fools to preach the "Fakestinian" narrative: "Muslims Good. Zionists (Jews) BAD."
The
"Fakestinian" Hoax. The Fraud is dedicated to the destruction of "the
48" (Israel) and teh LIE that the Zionists have NO right to live on
"MUSLIM" land (ISRAEL)

IN CONCLUSION. The agit-prop on the Fakestinian Facebook page :
"On the 68th anniversary of the "occupation" of palestine ... as the palestinian
people enter the 68th year of "dispossession" and "exile", we call on
all... supporters of "justice" and "liberation" to come together to...
commemorate the "nakba", stand against the "continuing" nakba... to call for the "right of return" for palestinian "refugees" and freedom for palestine.
... The war of 1948 ... over 800,000 palestinians driven from their homes... the State of Israel created on that land ...the"struggle" for their "right to return".... continues today."
The speakers included representatives of New
York City Students for Justice in Palestine, Al-Awda NY, the Palestine
Right to Return Coalition, American Muslims for Palestine, International
Action Center, Existence is Resistance, Jews for Palestinian Right of
Return, Muslim American Society, BAYAN USA and other groups struggling for "Justice" in "Fakestine" and internationally.
"We don’t want two states – we want 48!” Lamis Deek (Jihadi attorney)
Nerdeen Kiswani of New York City Students for Justice in palestine wrote that “the rally was full of palestinian youth,
which gave me an intense feeling of hope and optimism, that the next
generation does not forget their history, their roots, and the right of
return. They cheered loudly whenever someone proclaimed that refugees languishing in camps in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, don’t want to just go to the West Bank and Gaza,
they’re entitled to go back to the homes they were expelled from. Back
to Yaffa, back to Haifa, back to Akka. Although so many here today were
people born and raised in Brooklyn, because their grandparents were
displaced from palestine, they know where their roots lie and that the
right of return is not just symbolic but a key aspect of the palestinian
struggle.”
In Parting: There has never been any independent, sovereign "palestinian" State in all of recorded history. The "palestinian" people do not exist. The Truth does not change. Truth is truth. If something was true 50 years ago, 40 years ago, 30 years ago, it is still true today. And the truth is there was very little confusion on this issue of "palestine"...
FACT:“There is no such thing as a palestinian people.” (the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir)
June 5, 2016 - NYC CELEBRATES the TRUTH and The State of Israel! Am Yisrael Chai!
Looking Forward: Republican State Primary decisions are nudging Trump to take the Republican nomination. (If un-contested)
The Ohio Convention looms.
Looking Back : The NY Primary ended with mounds of Democrat complaints of illegal machinations from the New York Board of Elections
(run by the hardcore left). The “Independents” got snowed. Snuffed.
Stripped of their votes by a complicated system with so much small print
that to re-register as “Democrats” threw them in the UN-registered
pile. Many, also missed the deadline (due to that small print). October 19 was the cutoff for the April Primary registrations.
Reports of broken machines,
missing machines, polling locations locked or – also, missing- come not
from a few but thousands (particularly in Bernie-Land – aka Brooklyn). Many unhappy Dems, who are rooting for ol’ Bern, hope that the Hillary/Sanders race remains undecided, a portent of the voting ills that will surely plague America. If it looks like “Hilda” is in jeopardy of sweeping the White House. Look out.
Now a personal review of CPAC 2016. [My original report was delayed by post-CPAC Primaries and Commie Protests]HOPE filled the air at CPAC 2016.
In spite of the MSM's desire to say otherwise, on March 3,4,5, 2016, the millennials, our future, gathered. Three jam-packed days Maryland's Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.
Lots to do and so little time. CPAC,
the place to be for those of a Conservative mind-set, to vet potential
Presidential candidates, to discuss their policy positions as well as
the G.O.P.'s; to illuminate not obfuscate as many candidates lobbied to
be the next POTUS. Lets begin: Thursday, March 3 - Day One. The Potomac Ball Room.
For the press, this day made working seem so easy.
Finding a spot to film. Write. Take pics. Slipping in and out of the
ballroom press area. No complications. Except, this year - we were NOT
able to go 'on-the floor' for close-ups of the speakers and panels -
except in groups of 10 and then ... back to the press-area ...
. The day began at 9:10 AM with Gov. Scott Walker (WI)
Some of Walker’scomments: ” … the
growth of Conservatism state by state, governor by governor. Since 2009
there have been almost 1000 new Republicans elected to office across
the country.”
Walker spoke of the economic and fiscal crisis that Wisconsin faced. Education reform. Labor. Unemployment. Right to Work.
“We
got GOVERNMENT out of the way. We helped grow the economy. ‘Good
Policy is Good Politics’. We’re making a difference. Our ideas work,
when given the chance, even in Blue States. They believe in the
Government. WE believe in the Individual. We have a positive plan to
take back our states, our community, our country.”
Followed by Moderator KT McFarland’s Panel:“Greatest National Security Challenge” with Dr. James Carafano, Deneen Borelli, Rep. Ryan Zinke.
Some comments: “Reagan
rebuilt shattered military. Carter gave us Reagan. What will Obama give
us. The greatest military that this current POTUS can’t disassemble
fast enough. KT: 1980. Regan and Make America Great. Our Time is now. .
Peace only through strength. Troops ability to win requires Troops on
the ground (Syria) . We have 800,000 employees in DOD . get the
government out of the way.”
Unfortunately,
the press area was so far back in the Potomac Ballroom that filming or
taking pictures required a mightier zoom than I had (and both of my
cameras have good zoom capability) just not mighty enough for this
location. Going ‘on-the-floor’ was helpful but, restricted enough to be
complicated.
Since the press platform for the video-cams was
too bouncy for my mono-pod set-up, I left (with my gear) for about an
hour to check out the Exhibit Hub.
[More pictures of the Exhibits in Part 1 Flickr – link at bottom of post]
Then back to the press area: Though busier, not too difficult to set-up at a press table this time. (Much happier at the tables)
Continuing in the ballroom – 1 PM – Wayne La Pierre(National Rifle Association) Some Comments: “2nd Amendment guarantees all our freedoms.”
“Scalia
was a monumental jurist. Mourn him. Miss him. Next President. 3
appointments to Supreme Court. (HRClinton can’t pass a polygraph) Game
Over. Americans are fed up. Disgusted. Enraged. Outraged. Gun Laws
exist. White House doesn’t enforce these laws. They Blame the NRA”
Panel on “Reforming the Criminal Justice System” (excerpts) Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. (WI) a Democrat-was the star of this panel. Clarke impressed with no-nonsense answers to the questions presented by Moderator,Kelly Riddell.
He was joined by Att. Gen. Ken Cuccinelli (VA), Sen. Mike Lee (UT), Pat Nolan (ACU) “Discussion focused on prisons. Recidivists. Costs of crime. Deeply ingrained behaviors difficult to undo. Punishment is the deterrent to crime.”
Panel on “Fighting For Victory Against “Radical” Islamism” (Excerpts) Ayaan Hirsi Ali(AHA Foundation) was the star of this panel.
Moderator: Van Hipp [American Defense International] with Jim Hanson [Center For Security Policy] and Rep. Steve King [IA-4] Ayaan begins speaking at [9:51 to 14:50] She continues (audio only with stills) [19:17 to 21:31] and [26:55 to 30:21] Video returns at 32:11
Comments:“We the
people vs the Medina Agenda. In Medina, Religious Philosophy is the
antithesis of America. these are the Jihadis. Freedom loving American is
not Islamophobic. Islam is not a Religion of Peace. You must call a
spade a spade. Speak up. Speak Out. “King” Obama is partnering with our
enemies: CAIR. ISNA. World is more dangerous now than 2001 (9-11)”
Left the ball room for Thursday’s afternoon break-out sessions on Islam and Jihad. Looking for solutions – the TRUTH- in a weary world.
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser’s presentation (with slides): “Political Islam: How Patriotic American Muslims Defy Radical Islamists”
After Jasser’s presentation, the next breakout was to be Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “ We are all Infidels Now”
– in the same room- convenient [so we thought] But, the room was
switched (with no notice) and confusion followed as to where she was
moved. Ayaan’s Infidel breakout “We are all Infidels Now“ was replaced by Socialism. Wanting to stay on-topic, I headed to the Frank GaffneyCenter For Security break-out panel (a four hour event on Global Jihad – it was half-over) A prudent decision – Ayaan did not do her Infidel break-out (no idea why). “The Global Jihad Movement in America & the Counter Jihad Campaign” . Moderator: Frank Gaffney . Panel : Paul Weston, Lars Hedegaard, Jim Hanson.
It was a two panel discussions on the growing threat of the “Global
Jihad Movement”. I missed the first panel, Caught some of the Q and A.
There were 5 Questions I was present for.
Q # 1 is at the very beginning of recording, answered (00:17) by Hanson and Gaffney.
Q #2 (1:36) answered by all 4 panelists (2:24-7:38) [Gaffney, Lars H., Weston, Hanson and again, Gaffney]
Q #3 (7:40 was a long winded fellow. finally a question at 9:07) #3
answered (9:38 to 13:59-Gaffney) 13:40 Hanson, then Weston
(14:57-Gaffney again)
Q #4 (16:56) #4 answer (17:49) Hanson (19:48) Gaffney
Last Question #5 (21:29) #5 answer (22:28) Hanson.
Thank you’s (23:33)
Thursday, Day One, had much to offer and the crowds, though full, were manageable. Sorry I had to miss the Socialism and Castro breakouts but, choices had to be made. My priority: To catch anything on Islam and Jihad.
Before I leave Thursday-CPAC 2016, an unfortunate misstep from CPAC: Pamela Geller’s Panel on National Security was denied.
“Back in October, I contacted Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, which puts on CPAC. I informed him that my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), wanted to be a full-fledged sponsor of CPAC, so that I could host an event, “How Liberal Ideology Is Crippling National Security Capability.” Being a CPAC sponsor is not some honor that CPAC organizers confer; any conservative group can buy sponsor status.
Thinking our money was as good as anyone else’s, we invited the internationally renowned Dutch freedom fighter Geert Wilders, who just won the “Politician of the Year” award in The Netherlands. We also invited British politician Paul Weston of LibertyGB, who was arrested for quoting Winston Churchill’s words about Islam; Swiss freedom fighter Oskar Freysinger; Israeli political analyst Caroline Glick; and DHS whistleblower, Philip Haney.
I followed up for months while they “studied the issue.” They were concerned about security because of the death threats I have received since my free speech conference in Garland, Texas last May was attacked by Jihadis. I assured them that my entire security apparatus, a seasoned team of the top professionals in their field, would be in place (at our expense, not CPAC’s), and that several of my speakers who are European politicians would also be coming with their own secret service protection. This should have been adequate.“
CPAC doesn’t deserve the name “Conservative.” It should be called the “Cowards Political Action Conference.” Pamela Geller
For CPAC 2016, with so many Presidential candidates, SECURITY was beyond intense. What seems more probable: Censorship DAY Two, March 4, Friday: Not an easy day for everyone due to insane SECURITY.
The LINE for General Admission was very, very long. Snaking back and
forth. I’ve never seen the CPAC lines like this. Friday attendance was
HUGE with serious security that included scanning and dog sniffers. It
was very, VERY slow. Even the press was scanned and sniffed (on a shorter
line). The Security Teams were committed to getting the press in side
without too much delay. Still, packed gear had to be opened and jostled
to make sure we were really carrying camera gear, etc. IF ONLY the Gen.
Admission lines had sped through in similar fashion …. so that speakers and panels had more audience…. Many people gave up, after hours on line, and went to their rooms to watch the speakers.
Day Two, once in the press area,was a much more intense
challenge. Finding that perfect table-spot for cameras, computers etc.-
not so easy. Once set-up no one was going anywhere. Forget the
break-out panels. However, 3- 4 hours later, it was time for a bathroom
break. But, EVEN THE PRESS had to be re-scanned and sniffed- no matter
our gear was inside – step out of the room – get re-scanned.
Fortunately, many of the speakers and panels were worth the tsuris … Hot topics, major speakers and a bit of controversy as some questioned the Conservative credentials of not just the candidates but, also, CPAC. Malkin and J.B. Martin, in particular, were on fire.
[Some of the speakers are in our video playlist at end of article, as well as the Flickr slideshows] Michelle Malkin, Conservative blogger, political commentator, author.
Comments from Malkin’s speech.“My
job is to tell you want you need to her not what you want to hear.
Kasich preceded her. She was critical of him and his support of Common
Core. Empty talking points. She came down hard on Common Core and the
betrayal of the Governors. Follow the money. Speaking to the
politicians: Do the job we demand Don’t stab us in the back. We NEED Ted
Cruz. Too often Conservatives hold your nose and vote. Republican
brokers. Political sabotage. Two reasons Jeb Bush failed-Common Core and
Amnesty” JennyBeth Martin-co-founder the Tea Party Patriots. Comments: “7
yrs ago the Modern Tea Party was born. Tea Party is NOT dead.
Candidates need to appeal to Tea Party. She states that TRUMP is NOT Tea
Party. Must love Country. Constitution above own interests. She ends
with SUPPORT Ted Cruz.“ Rumors spread quickly that Donald TRUMP had cancelled CPAC. I don’t think anyone in the press-area was surprised, particularly after these two bold speakers. Trump was not the favored candidate at CPAC, making Ted Cruz the likely winner of the Straw Poll (and he was).
Other "Day Two" Speakers and Panels (impossible to catch everything)
Reince Priebus - Chairman of Republican National Committee with Sean Hannity. Main selling point:"Republican
Party will support no matter who is the candidate. We have a long way
to go. States Rights. People will not want Congress deciding. Some may
want chaos." Sen. Ted Cruz (TX),
Candidate for President. Cruz was introduced by ACU Board member,
Carolyn Meadows.(The crowd was standing for quite awhile. making the
camera hand held and a bit bouncy til they all sat down) He begins
speaking at 1:57.
"So Donald Trump is skipping CPAC. Maybe someone told him there were
Conservatives and Libertarians- and young people who were going to be
here."As Cruz spoke (at 3:37) a gaggle of Trump supporters filed out in protest. But, this did not diminish the fact that Cruz was enormously popular with the CPAC crowd. (He won the Straw Poll). “If I am elected President, we will repeal every word of ObamaCare.
To keep government from getting between us and our doctors.We will
abolish the IRS. Passing a Flat Tax. Politicians in both parties have
lied. Along with millions of Americans, NO we will not have amnesty.
Secure Our Borders.” Re the passing of Justice Scalia, “He was a Lion of the Law. We are one Liberal Justice away from the Supreme Court ERASING the Second Amendment (and other rights)
I will not compromise away your rights. We have a weakened military. We
will REBUILD the military. No longer will the military be governed by
Political Correctness. We will defeat Islamic Terrorism. Kill the enemy
and then get the heck OUT. The long lasting legacy of Barack
Obama (like Jimmy Carter gave us Reagan) is gonna be a new generation of
leaders in the Republican Party who stand for Life and Liberty… the
Constitution…”. [Part 2 was the Q and A with Sean Hannity]
Gov. John Kasich (OH), Candidate for President-At first Kasich reminisces about past CPAC’s and his early political career.
“1982
when he first ran for Congress as a Conservative. Reagan. The Kasich
Budget. Fiscal responsibility. He fought the Establishment. Building a
Team. 1993. Clinton’s budget for higher taxes. Balancing the Federal
Budget. We swept to victory.1994 with a Conservative agenda. The
American economy was booming. Then I stepped out of politics. Ohio was
in trouble. He went back. Governor. Ohio recovered.He addresses some
specifics re what was done in Ohio. He ran for re-election. (He did a
Mr. Roger’s “You are Special” moment) as he spoke to the Millennials and
the future of the Republic. in q and A with Hannity they discussed a
possible brokered convention.”
Dr. Ben Carson (beloved neurosurgeon) Candidate for President.The crowd adored him. But as he announced he was dropping out of the
race for President, he said poignantly, “I know, you love me…but you
won’t vote for me”
Comments from Dr. Carson: "What is happening to our Nation. The Government does not understand what compassion is. (instead) making people dependent...we need to identify those in our society who are trying to splinter us. (We in the government are going to eliminate poverty- the Johnson Admin) .... (government) has made it's much worse. Hillary. Alinsky. book dedicated to Lucifer.Obama has said we are not a Judeo-Christian Nation. He doesn't get to decide. WE get to decide. Equality of OPPORTUNITY. The press is the only business specifically protected by the Constitution. BECAUSE, THEY were supposed to be the allies of The People. Not take sides. The press - young members in particular, should remember - If the Country goes over the cliff- you're gong over, too. Be FAIR. I sit back and relax knowing that the Next Generation is in trouble."
Matt Schlapp– Chairman of American Conservative Union -Excerpted
remarks.
“These
have been the hard and difficult years that Reagan predicted. But, the
Conservative movement is growing stronger. We’re adding voices. We’re
are PREPARED for the OBAMA EXIT….We’re at a critical moment for
Conservatives.Don’t fear this moment (in history). Embrace it. Like all
challenges. We’ll be stronger when we get through it.”
Panel” Who’s Voting and Who’s Not” Moderator – Matt Schlapp, Panel included Fred Barnes–Political Commentator, Charlie Hurt (Wash Times), Brittany Kaiser, Kellyanne Conway. Comments:”Much Ted Cruz support. A Third party will hand election to Hillary. [NOTE: Ballroom was too empty because of the easily 1000 who were trapped on security line. Too slow.]Barnes
says that Trump has alienated too many. Tea Party claims Trump is for
Trump. Cruz is most Conservative candidate since Reagan. Cruz needs our
help to win against HRC. ”
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC) – Comments: “
To the Republican Party, “Wake up to Conservative Principles”. Time for
a Conservative Take over. We must de-fund Obama Care. Republicans with
Conservative ideas WIN. Reduce the size of the Fed. Favoritism for None.
Opportunities for All. . Make America Strong. Reclaim America.”
The VERY popular Dana Perino – Former White House Press Secretary, Political Commentator & author Moderated a panel: “How Conservative Principles Meet Millennial Goals“. Others on the panel–Rob Bluey, Benny Johnson, Katie Pavlich. Comments: “Millennials
are less patriotic. Only 38% think America is greatest country in the
world. When they see how much government takes from their paychecks…they
discuss abortion and technology. Important to see ultra sounds. The
baby.”
Panel –“Are We Losing our Humanity? Person-hood fromWomb to Tomb” Moderator- Julie Hocker. Other panelists– Gianna Jessen, Lenny McAllister, Fr. Ben Johnson all spoke of personal experience. Comments on: “Sonograms. Children born
during abortions. Birth Defects. Give them life. Stats- 60 children
aborted since the panel began today.”
Panel –“Are They Coming for your Home, your Car & your iPhone” Moderator- Jason Snead. Other panelists- Dr. Greg Dolin, Clark Neily, Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen . Comments:“Cornerstone
of Liberty: Property rights vs. Government. Property rights sacred.
Government cannot take what is rightfully earned. Wealth Redistribution
vs Taxation. Does our government steal. Intellectual Property. Owners
should have a say on how used. Patents/Wright Brothers-Competitor should
not be able to use your property. Patent critical to retain/protect
innovation. Need strong Intellectual protection. Important for economic
growth. Companies without patent innovation grind to a halt. We will not
be able to get cheaper drugs through technological innovation. Honor
ALL property rights. Soviet example of socialist abuses re
property/intellectual rights.”

Her remarks were accompanied by slides (see flickr side show) . A real winner in my eye. Great presentation. “Populism
– Manipulates people.You are too poor,too stupid. The Populist
Handbook. It starts with Hate Speech. Divide with Hate. No
individuality. We are SICK of government.“
She is of Guatemalan, Cuban and Hungarian descent and has toured throughout Latin America denouncing populism in the region.
Day Three, Saturday March 5: . With a tepid welcome on the horizon, Trump skipped out on his scheduled appearance. Since Trump was a no show Day 3 was void of the Day 2
SECURITY Juggernaut. I could now catch two Breakout panels I would
probably have missed with clear paths and wide open walkways.
Media Row (outside the ballroom) was practically empty. Days 1 and 2 (March 3 & 4) it had been alive with non stop on-camera and radio interviews.
Friday was packed.
Saturday’s Media Row was very QUIET. Many had packed-up leaving ghost-crews (if any)
Before I left D.C., covered two Saturday AM break out panels
Panel One: “Affecting Popular Culture: Do Conservatives have a Role”. Moderator-Ian Walters, Becky Cusey, Stacey Dash, Cameron Goodman
The audience seemed attentive and asked questions. But, I struggled to get involved with this topic. Perhaps it was just me.
Panel Two:“Europe in Chaos”. Moderator, KT McFarland, focused on the the crisis and chaos in Europe. The panelists:Dr.
Nile Gardiner (director the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom), Ben
Collins (a former Green Beret) and Dr. Zuhdi Jasser (Pres. American
Islamic Forum for Democracy) Part 2 is the Q and A.. First was a statement made Janice Atkinson, a UK Member of the European Parliament.
In Part 2 video (at 4:10) the panelists took 6 questions from the audience. Q #1 : 4:32 (answered by Dr. Gardiner @….. )
Q#2 – 6:50 (answered by Dr. Gardiner @ 8:06) Q#3 -10:07 (answered by Dr.
Jasser @ 10:49) Q#4 – 13:45 (answered by Ben Collins @14:41)
Q#5 -17:49 ( answered by Dr. Gardiner @ 18:45) and Q #6 – 20:12
( answered by …..)
Leaving Panel Two, I sawGrover Norquiststanding
to the side of the Media Row area talking to a small group of 5 or 6
people. Chatting and answering questions. Unfortunately, I had a train
to catch. Had to keep moving.
Saturday’s main speakers were Marco Rubio and Glenn Beck.
But, we made a decision to leave earlier than planned, missing their
CPAC speeches. Check-out time at the Gaylord is 11 am (WAY too early
since CPAC goes to 5-6 PM) With baggage and gear, this makes work a
problem. Having tried the baggage check area for my extra STUFF in
previous years, I knew to avoid that option. Baggage check was
overwhelmed. Confused (a serious mess actually) Finding my checked bags
was almost impossible. So, to avoid the hassle, I caught two early
morning panels and then hopped the Acela back to Manhattan.
In conclusion: CPAC 2016. Glad I went. Sorry for the 1000 or so attendees for whom Day 2 was a disappointment. Missing so many speakers and panels due to the security.
On the plus side: All three days. Jammed. Energized.
Focused on the election of the 21st century. The three day conclave of
Conservatives was worth the trip. No matter who the candidate. Not
futile. CPAC was determined to reclaim Reagan’s America.

Addendum- CPAC 2016, two months passed, whatever was
preached, lectured, cheered and debated, seems endangered by
belligerent in-house fights that grow with each primary, particularly as
the nomination swings towards Trump. In-fighting. Conservatives vs Repubs.
Conservatives vs the Lib-Soc-Commie Machine. Conservatives vs
Libertarians. The Final Battles that lie ahead may lose us big to the
Communist Cabal. (Bernie or Hilda) without a candidate to stand up the
Democrat Machine.
The post-apocalyptic, Cloward-Pivens-Alinsky-Marxed America (via Obama-Hillary-Sanders)
has snowed many fools and tools putting the White House within the
Hildebeast's grasp.What happens in November can make or break this
country.
We need a Candidate who will do as promised. A Man of his Word. Is Trump that man? If not. Than Who?
