Who Is Fethullah Gülen?

City Journal, by Claire Berlinski Original Article

Posted By: Robinsolana- 10/25/2012 12:47:40 PM Post Reply

Controversial Muslim preacher, feared Turkish intriguer—and “inspirer” of the largest charter school network in America. With the American economy in shambles, Europe imploding, and the Middle East in chaos, convincing Americans that they should pay attention to a Turkish preacher named Fethullah Gülen is an exceedingly hard sell. Many Americans have never heard of him, and if they have, he sounds like the least of their worries.

*Exclusive* Anti-Mormon Bigot Behind
Obama/Allred 'October Surprise'

Breitbart Big Government, by John Nolte Original Article

Posted By: SoCalGal- 10/25/2012 12:36:06 PM Post Reply

As I write this, Barack Obama's gal-pal Gloria Allred and the Boston Globe have aligned themselves with the Chicago Machine in a partisan crusade to launch an October Surprise against Mitt Romney. That we all know. What you might not know is that Allred's client, Maureen Sullivan, the woman pushing to unseal the gag order on her own divorce records, is an embittered leftie, a Huffington Post "Super User," and a vicious anti-Mormon bigot. (Snip) Even though a gag order makes it illegal for Ms. Sullivan to publicly discuss her case, apparently this hasn’t stopped her online.

Gloria Allred’s Worst Nightmare —
Transcript released but her client’s
still gagged

Legal Insurrection, by William A. Jacobson Original Article

Posted By: SoCalGal- 10/25/2012 12:25:56 PM Post Reply

Reports from inside the courtroom in Boston at which The Boston Globe is seeking access to Mitt Romney’s testimony in the divorce case of the founder of Staples indicate that the Judge will authorize the release of the transcript to The Globe, but will not lift the gag order on the parties to the divorce, including Gloria Allred’s Mormon-hating client, Maureen Sullivan. Presumably that means that the Mormon-hating client’s representative also cannot speak on behalf of her Mormon-hating client to put the “context” on it.

Almost certain to come up well short of the net gain of 25 seats she needs to become Speaker again, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi has called party leadership elections for Nov. 29, well after the Nov. 6 election, setting off speculation across Washington that she may not run for leader again. More stories here and here and here. House leaders usually call for leadership elections quickly to shore up support and thwart challengers. Asked about the rumors, Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill referred to his earlier comments that they are “ridiculous.”

Washington Post endorsement:
Four more years for President Obama

MUCH OF THE 2012 presidential campaign has dwelt on the past, but the key questions are who could better lead the country during the next four years — and, most urgently, who is likelier to put the government on a sounder financial footing. That second question will come rushing at the winner as soon as the votes are tallied. Absent any action, a series of tax hikes and spending cuts will take effect Jan. 1 that might well knock the country back into recession. This will be a moment of peril but also of opportunity.

US military's response questioned
in wake of deadly Libya consulate attack

Shortly after the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya, the Pentagon responded by moving military assets into the region, but some former defense officials say it was too little, too late. By the morning after the initial violence, Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were dead, victims of two separate assaults several hours apart. “For the U.S. military to say they couldn’t move ... one aircraft in eight hours, I say it's time to relieve the people in chain of command," Bing West, an assistant defense secretary under President Reagan, told Fox News.

The White House is declining to say when President Barack Obama first learned of three e-mails that the State Department sent to the White House on Sept. 11, 2012, directly notifying the Executive Office of the President that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was under attack, that U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens was at the Benghazi mission at the time of the attack, and that the group Ansar al-Sharia had taken credit for the attack.

Eric Holder changed his name in 2002 to Shekem Amsu Khnemu. Look up “Amsu” on the baby-name website called She Knows, and you find “personification of reproduction.” The name fits. The 49-year-old Lincoln man owes support for 14 children in Nebraska. In Lancaster County, Khnemu owes nearly $80,000 in back child support in cases dating back to November 1984, according to county records. His most recent child support order started in February 2011. In addition, he is named in 15 paternity suits by nine women in Lancaster and Douglas counties.

TAMPA -More than 8,500 people crowded Centennial Park in Ybor City today to hear a hoarse President Obama give a shortened, 20-minute version of his standard stump speech as part of a whirlwind campaign tour with the election just 12 days away. The crowd estimate came from the Tampa fire marshal but it wasn't clear whether it counted what appeared to be hundreds more people in the street surrounding the park. Obama delivered his campaign line that Republicans are advocating the policies of the past that caused the nation's economic difficulties. "We can't go back

MOUNT ARAFAT, Saudi Arabia- Muslims are starting their annual hajj pilgrimage by ascending Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia on a day pilgrims believe offers them a chance to repent their sins. Saudi authorities say some 3.4 million Muslims from more than 300 nations are performing hajj this year. Thousands of tents on Mount Arafat, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Mecca, accommodate the pilgrims. Many spent the night there before Thursday's worship. Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad delivered his last sermon on Mount Arafat, or the Mountain of Mercy, where he stressed equality among all of Islam's followers.

As NewsBusters reported, MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday said Sarah Palin's recent "shuck and jive" comments about Barack Obama's ever-changing story on the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, were a racist "dog whistle." Palin responded on Facebook Wednesday evening: For the record, there was nothing remotely racist in my use of the phrase "shuck and jive" – a phrase which many people have used, including Chris Matthews, Andrew Cuomo, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney to name a few off the top of my head. In fact, Andrew Cuomo also

Those of us who knew Andrew Breitbart fairly well are still in a state of shock that he's gone. I first learned about his passing the way I've learned of many things over the years, by logging onto The Drudge Report early one morning. At first it was just a shocking headline saying "Dead at 43" but then came the flurry of reports that explained his untimely death, my favorite being by someone who knew him, Paul Bond of The Hollywood Reporter.

Weather models are beginning to coalesce around an unlikely meteorological scenario: a hurricane blending with an inland snowstorm just in time for Halloween. Before we get into that weather wonderland, Greater New York will enjoy pleasant afternoon temperatures in the low 70s for the rest of the week.

Regardless of the exact landfall location on the East Coast, impacts will be felt from Florida to Maine.

President Barack Obama will briefly visit Chicago today to cast his ballot early -- the first sitting president to do so. Democrats have been aggressively trying to gain an advantage over Republicans in states that allow early voting. When Obama announced that he would be voting early, he said on Twitter, "If your state has early voting, join me," and directed followers to a link with more information about early voting. Obama dominated early voting in 2008, giving him an edge over Republican John McCain well before Election Day.

He lost me at “sweetie.” President Obama wielded the cringe-worthy “S” word at the first presidential debate. He wasn’t talking to Mitt Romney. He also was not addressing some groupie or reporter — often one and the same — but his wife, Michelle. “I just want to wish you, sweetie, a happy anniversary,” the president said to silent groans from assembled females. And me. It was not the first sexist slur to spring from Obama’s lips. “Sweetie” is the man’s term of art whenever he feels the itch to cut down half the population.

After yesterday’s tussle with the White House about whether the Des Moines Register could actually tell people what Barack Obama said in an interview with them to get the editorial board’s endorsement, Obama finally relented and allowed Iowa’s leading newspaper to print a transcript of the interview. The editors assured readers that they would not hold Obama’s pettiness against him when it came to deciding on the endorsement, as too much is at stake in this election. However, today’s front page certainly looks like a little payback

Obama’s Immigration Boast: Now that the President has lifted his “off the record” restriction on his Des Moines Register interview, we can read this exciting paragraph: The second thing I’m confident we’ll get done next year is immigration reform. And since this is off the record, I will just be very blunt. Should I win a second term, a big reason I will win a second term is because the Republican nominee and the Republican Party have so alienated the fastest-growing demographic group in the country, the Latino community. And this is a relatively new phenomenon.

As the polls have tightened over the past few weeks, Barack Obama has relied on his overwhelming advantage among women to retain a slim lead over Mitt Romney. But now the Republican challenger has wiped out the President's 16-point lead among female voters entirely, according to a new poll by the Associated Press. Coupled with a boost in Obama's standing among men, the latest polls suggest that what was on track to be a historically large gender gap could have been completely eliminated. Those churning gender dynamics leave the presidential race a virtual dead heat, with Romney favored by

The race for Ohio is slowly tightening, but Mitt Romney does not hold a lead in a single poll in the current Real Clear Politics average (he is tied in two). Two polls from Time and CBS/Quinnipiac have grabbed headlines by showing Obama a five-point lead in each. Romney is chipping away at Obama’s poll lead, but the Democratic advantage in party-ID has increased across these polls. When looking at the polls in Ohio, it is becoming entirely possible that Mitt Romney should be able to win Ohio without
