Obama’s ‘Cool Clock’ Muslim Boy Gets Award From Jihad-Tied CAIR

The jihad-linked CAIR advocacy group has declared the Texas ‘cool clock’ boy, Ahmed Mohamed, to be the “American Muslim of the Year.” The award bypassed accomplished Muslims in America — and was protested by other Muslims — but it did highlight CAIR’s incendiary claim to its overseas supporters that Muslims in America are threatened, and must be aided by overseas Muslims.

The Senate GOP Plan to Surrender Debt Control to Obama

Senate Republicans, led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are reportedly planning legislation allowing President Barack Obama to lift the nation’s debt ceiling on his authority, according to sources on Capitol Hill.

Obama, GOP Leaders, May Delay Free-Trade Debate Until 2016 Lame Duck Session

Top congressional staffers say Congress will delay approval of the unpopular Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade deal until the lame-duck session after the 2016 election, according to Politico.

Iran Rejects Obama’s Iran Nuke Pact, Writes Own ‘Deal’ To Disarm Israel

The Iranian parliament has rejected the formal, legal text of the President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal, negotiated in July by the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Russia, China and the Tehran regime. Instead, the majilis approved their own version of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), creating a situation where the Iranian government simple hasn’t signed onto the nukes-and-trade deal that Obama, Democrats and the GOP leaders has obligated the United States to uphold.
