On November 5, the White House released the text of the 5,544 page Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) that President Obama had just finished negotiating under the FastTrack authority that Congress gave him. That trade pact can no longer be amended. The up-or-down votes in the House and Senate will take place as early as January 2016. So what’s in the TPP? Here’s a quick summary: A legislative body superior to CongressA vehicle to pass Obama’s climate change treatyIncreased legal immigrationReduced patent protection for U.S. pharmaceuticalsQuotas on U.S. agricultural exportsIncreased currency manipulationReduced U.S. power That’s the summary.

"If you like your present health care plan, you can keep it." The President is not even pretending to allow any freedom of choice with ObamaTrade, aka the Trans-Pacific Partnership. ObamaTrade is to trade what ObamaCare is to medical care. It is 5,544 pages long -- 3,500 pages longer than ObamaCare. This is a 5,544-page hunting license for unelected, tenured international bureaucrats to bring lawsuits against American companies. It does not take 5,544 pages of legal verbage written by international lawyer-bureaucrats to obtain free trade. What it takes is for legislatures to reduce tariffs and import quotas. That is all...

New commission can make decisions without even notifying Congress UNITED NATIONS – Congress would be cut out of decisions impacting the nation’s economy and laws under the terms of an international agreement President Obama has negotiated and intends to sign. The pact also essentially moves the nation’s economy out from under the constraints of the U.S. Constitution. The administration on Thursday finally released the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global regulatory deal it has been negotiating in secret over the last six years. The TPP currently involves 12 countries on four continents. The text reveals the TPP agreement undermines...

A short insight on who's currently supposed to represent the German people.

At the upcoming United Nations Climate Summit in Paris, participating nations have prepared a treaty that would create an “International Tribunal of Climate Justice” giving Third World countries the power to haul the U.S. into a global court with enforcement powers. Congress would be bypassed – left out in the cold – by this climate deal, critics say. Policies once left to sovereign nations could be turned over to a U.N. body if the U.S. and its allies approve the proposed deal in Paris during the summit scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 11.

On Monday, we brought you a series of still shots along with a video which depicted the scope of Europe’s migrant crisis via drone footage. The point in highlighting the imagery was to demonstrate just how futile the EU’s effort to establish a series of refugee “holding camps” along the Balkan route to Germany is likely to be.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama reached out to Rep. Paul Ryan the day before the new House speaker assumed his duties and wished him well. That’s according to White House spokesman Josh Earnest, who says Obama has spoken in the past about his respect for Ryan despite significant differences they have on policy. He says Obama is hopeful they’ll be able to work together. Earnest says that with the GOP in control of Congress and with a Democrat in control of the White House, anything making it through the legislative process will have to be bipartisan. The spokesman says Obama...

  The Philippines already has a major problem with Muslim terror. It isn't looking to expand the scope of that problem. And who can blame it? Philippine President Benigno Aquino said his country cannot afford to take in Australian-processed refugees permanently. Aquino said the Philippines is “seriously considering” and “studying” a proposal by the Australian government for his country to take in refugees. But he told reporters there were a few factors to consider. Earlier this month, Australia’s immigration minister said the foreign ministers of the two countries were in talks about a potential deal wherein Australia would provide...

As millions of Islamic migrants flood into Europe, the government of Belgium is worried about attacks on the migrants from elements of the “far right,” according to a Belgium newspaper. The Belgium government has raised the terror alert level from 1 to 2 (on a scale of 1-4) citing fear of reprisals against the migrants. Police protection will be stepped up around the nation’s asylum reception centers. “The decision to raise the threat level from low to average comes after recent incidents of attacks on asylum reception centers in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands,” Flanders News reports. Belgium police admitted...

Politicians like Obama and Trudeau, and pontiffs like Pope Francis are lying to you. This world is not about to be consumed by out of control global warming/climate change but by progressives hanging the noose of One World Government around society Progressive activists gone giddy with power in post-election Canada have joined the United States, other parts of the world and the Catholic Church under a universal ‘Hope and Change’ enforced society. Having been corralled into the same Big Government barnyard, society has a problem whose solution has yet to be found. But the agents of change have an even...

I am providing these links to a couple of key strategies the left is using at this moment to push their agenda more militantly as well as rhetorically Cloward-Piven - Social attack... http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/theclowardpivenstrategypoe.html "Their article called for "cadres of aggressive organizers" to use "demonstrations to create a climate of militancy." Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of "a federal program of income redistribution," in the form of a guaranteed living income for all -- working and non-working...

A flake of limestone (ostracon) inscribed with an ancient Egyptian word list of the fifteenth century BC turns out to be the world's oldest known abecedary. The words have been arranged according to their initial sounds, and the order followed here is one that is still known today. This discovery by Ben Haring (Leiden University) with funding from Free Competition Humanities has been published in the October issue of the 'Journal of Near Eastern Studies'. The order is not the ABC of modern western alphabets, but Halaham (HLHM), the order known from the Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Arabian and Classical Ethiopian...

Citizens in the West are just not educated to this truth. The secular humanists among us are becoming very powerful. Teacher's unions like the NEA have a monopoly on education in the West. They brainwash our children in their Nature worship and force upon them their "faith" that this cosmos created itself. As "true believers" evolutionists insist that organic life sprang up fully functional from inorganic chemicals. And how did that happen? The evolution faithful say it happened by a "Big Bang" and other random meaningless non-intelligently designed completely accidental acts of cosmic kindness. These secularist elitist set the curricula...

nside a sleek Denver condominium, George W. Bush let a hundred donors to his brother’s campaign in on a secret. Of all the rival Republican candidates, there is one who gets under the former president’s skin, who he views as perhaps Jeb Bush’s most serious rival for the party’s nomination. It isn’t Donald Trump, whose withering insults have sought to make Jeb pay a political price for his brother’s presidency. It also isn’t Marco Rubio, Jeb’s former understudy who now poses a serious threat to his establishment support. “I just don’t like the guy,” Bush said Sunday night, according to...

Saudi students sometimes face racial discrimination in the universities of six European states. They are Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Slovenia, said Ali bin Abdullah bin Saqr, Saudi cultural attache in Austria. Discrimination was one major problem faced by 600 Saudi students studying in universities of these countries, an online newspaper quoted Saqr as saying. He has advised Saudi students to stay away from protests, demonstrations and other places where they might encounter danger. He said that the cultural attache’s office and the staff in the Saudi embassies deal with the problems of racial discrimination, if and...
