The Tables Just Turned

Conservative Tribune

Remember the relief of the liberal media when the Khan-troversy and post-Democratic National Convention bounce had put Hillary Clinton significantly ahead of Donald Trump for the first time in quite a while, at least as far as poll numbers were concerned?

Yeah, about that — it seems the celebration was premature, liberals. The latest poll from Reuters/Ipsos finds that Hillary’s lead has dropped to within the margin of error over Republican nominee Donald J. Trump.

The poll, released on Friday and conducted between July 31 and Aug. 4 , found Clinton with 42 percent of the vote compared to Trump’s 39 percent among likely voters. However, the margin of error was 3 percent, meaning that her lead was statistically insignificant.

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump not only has to beat the Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton, he has to go up against the mainstream media and therigged polls they give air time to ad nauseum.

However, the conservative website The Truth Division posted five statistics that prove that Trump is beating the polls and garnering massive amounts of support that the mainstream media won’t report.

Trump uses social media to connect directly with the voters in an unprecedented way and these statistics illustrate not only why the polls are wrong, but how extraordinary the phenomena is:

T. Belman. This report keeps referring to immigration. I think it means emigration. Yoram Ettinger tells me that the proper number for Arab emigration is not 10,000 per year as reported but 20,000 per year from Judea and Samaria alone and another 11,000 from Gaza. Once they are outside the country for 4 years I believe, they are not allowed to return. That’s why the Palestinians don’t record their leaving for 7 years.

The Arab daily Al Quds last week published an extensive report on the scope of youth migration from Judea and Samaria, suggesting that as many as 400 thousand young Arabs have migrated abroad over the past few decades. The report describes entire villages, such as the majority Christian village of Dir Dabuan, which are full of deserted mansions, with a smattering of elderly residents still living in the area.

Lebanese delegation head blocks Israeli athletes from boarding bus to Olympics opening ceremony in Rio, says it was because “Israelis were looking for trouble” • In interview with Army Radio, Culture Minister Miri Regev says IOC must issue condemnation.

The Israeli delegation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Friday

Israeli officials were outraged after the Lebanese delegation to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro prevented Israeli athletes from joining them on a bus to the opening ceremony on Friday.

“I am shocked by the incident in which the Israeli delegation was humiliated …. because the Lebanese delegation refused to share a bus with Israeli Jews. This is pure anti-Semitism and racism of the worst kind,” said Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev in an interview with Army Radio Sunday.

CENTER LAUNCHES NEW ‘TERROR JIHAD READER SERIES,’

LAYS BARE THE TRUE NATURE AND DANGER OF THE ISLAMIC STATE

As the savage attacks claimed by the Islamic State (IS) seem to follow on one another at an ever-increasing pace, too many still do not understand what this group is, where it came from, who its leaders are, and most important of all, why they do what they do. Whether the IS-controlled territory called “The Caliphate” survives in its current form or not, the totalitarian ideology Islamic supremacists call Sharia and the jihad it impels will cause adherent fighters, followers and supporters around the world to fight on and, unless decisively defeated, to continue to metastasize.

In the absence of such a defeat, the Islamic State continues to add new groups to its growing franchise. And individual jihadists from nearly every continent continue to step forward to pledge allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as they carry out murderous attacks on innocent civilians. Unfortunately, too many at the top levels of U.S. national security, the media, academia and other elites still fail to understand this enemy, typically approaching it as a mere “terrorist organization” or purveyor of “violent extremism.” In particular, unless and until there is a much better appreciation for the phenomenon that is spawning and intensifying Islamic supremacism as practiced by IS, Americans and other freedom-loving peoples will be in mortal peril.

Description of big problem with Muslim immigration in Germany, as reported by a physician in Munich hospital:

In summary: “Relations between the staff and Muslim migrants are going from bad to worse. Since last weekend, migrants going to the hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units.*

Many migrants have AIDS, syphilis, open TB and many exotic diseases that we in Europe do not know how to treat.

If they receive a prescription to the pharmacy, they suddenly learn they have to pay cash.

This leads to unbelievable outbursts, especially when it is about drugs for the children.

By ISTANBUL/MOSCOW- As Turkey’s relations with Europe and the United States are strained by the fallout from its failed coup, President Tayyip Erdogan travels to Russia on Tuesday to meet Vladimir Putin in a trip he may hope will give the West pause for thought.

Turkish officials insist Erdogan’s visit to St. Petersburg is no sign that the NATO member and European Union membership candidate is turning its back on the West. Rather, they say, it is the next step in a rapprochement with Russia that started weeks before the July 15 attempted putsch.

But the thaw with Moscow, which imposed trade sanctions nine months ago after Turkey downed a Russian fighter jet near the Syrian border, comes as Ankara’s relationship with the West could scarcely be more fractious.

A review of:  America Abroad: The United States’ Global Role in the 21st Century

By Stephen G. Brooks and William C. Wohlforth, Oxford University Press, 2016

Two Dartmouth Professors of Government, Stephen G. Brooks and William C. Wohlforth, have written a timely book examining whether it would be wise for the United States to continue with the basic global strategy it has pursued since the end of World War 2 — what the authors call “global deep engagement.”  This strategy has been called into question not only by other academics, who propose an alternative strategy of American retrenchment, but also by several prominent candidates for President this year, including the Republican standard-bearer Donald Trump, the Democratic runner-up, Senator Bernie Sanders, and several of the earlier Republicans contenders.  President Barack Obama has to some extent retreated from the deep engagement approach in some areas, while adhering to it in others.

“GUPS is the very purpose of this great university.” – San Francisco State University President Leslie Wong

By Michael Lumish

I remain dismayed at what looks to be a sincere disregard for the well-being of Jewish students on the campus of San Francisco State University.

This may come as something of a surprise to SFSU President Leslie Wong because I have no doubt that he thinks of himself as just as much a friend of the Jewish community as he is with every other ethnic group at the university.

Well, sadly, he isn’t.

TIMES OF ISRAEL

Beirut, Lebanon (AFP) — Jihadists and rebels captured strategic military positions on the edges of Syria’s second city Aleppo on Saturday, turning the tables on Russian-backed regime forces besieging the city.

To the northeast, a Western-backed alliance of Arab and Kurdish fighters scored a major victory against the Islamic State group in the town of Manbij after a fierce two-month battle.

The developments have rocked the key northern province of Aleppo, a microcosm of Syria’s topsy-turvy, multi-front war that has killed more than 280,000 people.

Rebel and regime forces have fought for control of the provincial capital of the same name since mid-2012, transforming the former economic powerhouse into a divided, bombed-out city.

Donald Trump keeps referencing that Obama let in 10,000 “Syrian” refugees and saying that Hillary wants to increase it by 550%. The a small number but a large increase.  I decided to do some googling on the matter because I thought the number was more like a million.

The first article that I came up with was published on Dec 10/15 by NBC News titled Mass Muslim MIgration mostly a Mirage:

Donald Trump might be tapping into Americans’ wariness with his call to stop all Muslims from coming into the U.S., a new poll finds — but the flood of Islamic immigrants is a mirage.

Senior Trump advisor claims Clinton has deeply embedded hostility towards Jewish state. ‘I don’t think she particularly likes Israel’.

By David Rosenberg, INN

Despite pledges early in the primary season to maintain neutrality in dealings with Israel and the Palestinian Authority, Donald Trump has since emphasized his pro-Israel bona fides and hinted at a major deviation from policies supported by presidents of both parties since the 1967 Six Day War, including the two-state solution, Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria, and America’s embassy in Israel.

In an attempt to woo Jewish voters and supporters of Israel, Trump has relied heavily on proxies, including his daughter Ivanka, an Orthodox Jewish convert, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as well as campaign spokespeople and advisers.

Why did the Obama administration decide to escalate its attacks against Israel last week?

What was the purpose of the State Department’s shockingly hostile assault last Wednesday following the Israel Land’s Authority’s announcement that it is publishing tenders to build 323 apartment units in Jerusalem’s Gilo, Har Homa, Pisgat Zeev and Neve Yaakov neighborhoods?

The statement needs to be seen to be believed.

The Post Constitutional Election, Part 25 is here.

Dear DNC,

Doubtless, I would reach more people if I wrote the following message in a private, hackable email, but I am concerned Russian cyber-trolls are distracted this week by heaps more breaking scandal about Hillary Clinton’s loyal services to what some people like to call “Mother Russia.”

Between that Hillary-approved uranium deal transferring 20 percent of US uranium to Russian control (netting $145 million for the Clinton Foundation) and, now, her success in getting US investors to fund Russian military research in Russia’s very own “Silicon Valley,” I am afraid my little email might languish unread on some cold NSA server.

There is every reason, both “concretely & in principle”, why Jews living in a Palestinian-Arab state, under Palestinian-Arab sovereignty is unacceptable.

It looks like the post-convention bounce is over: The latest daily tracking poll from the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles Times shows Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a dead heat for the presidential election, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story.

According to the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times “Daybreak” poll, the two candidates are in a statistical tie, despite an avalanche of media attacks on the Trump campaign that followed the Democratic National Convention.

And that’s not even the best part! Take a look at the methodology behind the poll, as posted on the Times’ website.
