I would submit: check her background. Born in Shiraz, Iran, for one. She was involved in Chicago politics. She hired Michelle Robinson for a City of Chicago paycheck, who became Michelle Obama. She was familiar with and made her bones on The Chicago Way. Just like Obama. And, like Obama, never possessed a real job in her life.
From RedFlagNews.com:
The real questions are: Who is pushing this agenda? Who is pushing for Iran to go nuclear? And, who is so scared of Netanyahu briefing Congress and the American people on what Iran is up to?
The answer is Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s Rasputin. This is where the anger from the White House is coming from.
Most people know she was born in Iran. This in itself does not disqualify her from advising the president, but it does open her agenda to scrutiny. There have been reports that she has been secretly negotiating with Iran on the nuclear issue, but the White House has vehemently denied it.
Now, the Jerusalem Post is reporting that the Obama administration has already given Iran eighty percent of what it has demanded in the negotiations. The “deal” to be reached will leave Iran within months of going nuclear if they decide to move forward. All of the centrifuges will remain under their control.
This “deal” is not a deal, but an appeasement.
This is what Valerie Jarrett is so scared of–that her secret deals with Iran to allow them to go nuclear will become public knowledge. She is scared Netanyahu will tell Congress and the American people what is really going on. We can’t have that, can we?
Why else would the White House be so scared that one of our closest and reliable allies is speaking to a co-equal branch of government?
Why indeed?
As always: check the CV. Check the background. Check the antecedents. As with Obama, so with Valerie June Bowman-Jarrett.

[ISIS with captured American equipment.]
From the NYDailyNews.com:
by Joseph Cirincione
The risk of a terrorist attack using nuclear or chemical weapons has just gone up.
ISIS is willing to kill large numbers of innocents, and it has added three capabilities that catapult the threat beyond anything seen before: control of large, urban territories, huge amounts of cash, and a global network of recruits.
British Home Secretary Theresa May warned that if ISIS consolidates its control over the land it occupies, “We will see the world’s first truly terrorist state” with “the space to plot attacks against us.”
Here is what way too many people don’t understand about ISIS:
Its seizure of banks and oil fields gave it more than $2 billion in assets. If ISIS could make the right connection to corrupt officials in Russia or Pakistan, the group might be able to buy enough highly enriched uranium (about 50 pounds) and the technical help to build a crude nuclear device. Militants recruited from Europe or America could help smuggle it into their home nations.
And Mr Obama wants to “negotiate” with Iran about nukes, bargaining away one manner of helping to ensure ISIS doesn’t get its hands on fissile materials? ISIS doesn’t have to possess an actual deployable weapon per se; all it has to do is acquire sufficient material to create a dirty bomb.
This is not only tactically insolvent on Mr Obama’s part, it is another in a series of capitulative moves by our Apologist In Chief, the EOTUS.
Raised by Communists and Muslims, Obaka falls back to his roots when pressed or pressured.
Mr Obama doesn’t even deserve a seat at the kid’s table during Thanksgiving.
And yet, he’s in charge of our nation.
The greatest threat to the United States of America isn’t illegal immigrants. It isn’t the budget, It isn’t the sequester. It isn’t the southern border. It isn’t Vladimir Putin. It isn’t even Islamic terror, though ISIS is getting close.
The greatest threat to the United States of America is Barack Hussein Obama.

Mr Obama still despises Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It’s no more complicated than this: Mr Obama despises the United States for having acquired its power base “on the backs of small brown people,” and Israel for having acquired its power base “on the backs of small brown people.”
Mr Obama will do his best to level these two nations out. Both the US and Israel need to be knocked down a peg or ten. Both nations acquired power in a completely unfair fashion. Power they don’t deserve and power they need to release.
Mr Obama isn’t just refusing to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu. He is actively advocating against Netanyahu and for his new political opponent. Doubt me? Click this link.
PM Netanyahu was invited to speak before the US Congress by Republicans. Mr Obama refuses to meet with Netanyahu when this occurs. Yet, Mr Obama will do everything he can to smooth the ruffled feathers of Iran and demands US pols not insist that further sanctions be levied against Iran.
Because, evidently, Mr Obama has such a nuanced and effective plan in place to disarm Iran and make it docile.
Oh my God. Are Republicans possibly that stupid?
You, my dear readers, know the inherent answer to that question.
From the NYTimes.com:
by Julie Hirschfeld Davis
The Obama administration, after days of mounting tension, signaled on Wednesday how angry it is with Israel that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted Republican leaders’ invitation to address Congress on Iran without consulting the White House. The outrage the episode has incited within President Obama’s inner circle became clear in unusually sharp criticism by a senior administration official who said that the Israeli ambassador, Ron Dermer, who helped orchestrate the invitation, had repeatedly placed Mr. Netanyahu’s political fortunes above the relationship between Israel and the United States.
And yet, Mr Obama will hold Iran in the highest regard.
And yet, Mr Obama cannot even name terrorist organizations.
The Taliban is not a “terrorist organization.”
“Sometimes they carry out tactics that are sometimes akin to terrorism.”
Are you kidding me?

French President Hollande didn’t want Bibi at the Paris march, but Netanyahu came anyway.

There was one world leader who was out of step with the rest of political elite during yesterday’s theatrical procession of world leaders for French unity and for press freedom (even as the bulk of them engage in prosecution of freedom of speech across their own nations): Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, as Reuters reports, he managed to “ruffle a few feathers while taking part in the “Charlie Hebdo” rally in Paris on Sunday” because this was an event his office initially said he would not be attending following a specific request form French president Hollande not to come to Paris, but ultimately ended up participating in much to the Chagrin of the French president.
As Reuters further reports, “a video posted on Facebook, the news footage mockingly set to the Looney Tunes cartoon music, showed Netanyahu maneuvering his way to the front of the rally with the help of several bodyguards, allowing him to be photographed arm-in-arm with other leaders, including French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Those pictures were quickly posted on Netanyahu’s Twitter feed, while the banner on his Facebook page was changed to a photograph of him in the front row, shoulder-to-shoulder with Hollande, Merkel, Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and EU leaders Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk.
Not shown in the picture was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who was standing alongside Tusk, six feet (two meters) from Netanyahu. The two broke off peace talks last April and tensions between them have risen since, with Netanyahu accusing Abbas of inciting violence against Israelis.
The irony is that neither Netanyahu nor Abbas initially planned to be in Paris.
What happened is that according to sources in Netanyahu’s office said that in a phone call on Friday evening an adviser to Hollande had suggested it would be “complicated” and “uncomfortable” if the Israeli leader attended the Sunday march, largely because of security concerns.
There is more, of course. Go here.
But anything that gets the goat of Hollande is, frankly, nifty in my book.
