This Wall Street Journal posting identifies some of those things...
The Wall Street Journal including this comment of the FBI Director and more in a recent opinion article:
"Because something deeply disturbing is happening all across America. I have spoken of 2014 in this speech because something has changed in 2015. Far more people are being killed in America’s cities this year than in many years. And let’s be clear: far more people of color are being killed in America’s cities this year. And it’s not the cops doing the killing."

We also know Harwood was full of it, because the head of the Tax Foundation was forced to publicly correct Harwood on Twitter during the debate."
Why trying to help poor countries might actually hurt them - The Washington Post
That's because some Nobel Prize winners get treated differently than others, especially when the subject is politically incorrect...
The Washington Post's Ana Swanson reported on this:
"Deaton, an economist at Princeton University who studied poverty in India and South Africa and spent decades working at the World Bank, won his prize for studying how the poor decide to save or spend money. But his ideas about foreign aid are particularly provocative. Deaton argues that, by trying to help poor people in developing countries, the rich world may actually be corrupting those nations' governments and slowing their growth. According to Deaton, and the economists who agree with him, much of the $135 billion that the world’s most developed countries spent on official aid in 2014 may not have ended up helping the poor."

"The Party of Washington"
At AmericanThinker.com, Bruce Walker hits the nail on the head:
"The division in America is not 'Democrat' versus 'Republican,' but rather a division that places in one camp all the politicians who derive their power and their wealth from the federal government. Let us call the first political party the 'Party of Washington,' a gaggle not only of politicians, but federal judges and entrenched bureaucrats, as well as the media, which is assigned to cover Washington.
Every time the federal government does anything, these folks get a piece of the action. Legislation is passed, executive orders are decreed, rules are adopted, and judicial orders are pronounced, with all the members of the Party of Washington gaining something, even as so many of them protest that they oppose a particular action."

"ISIS Tells Assyrian Christians in Sweden: Convert or Die"
PRE-LINK TEXT Thomas D. Williams, PH.D. recently wrote about it:
"Assyrian Christians living in Sweden have been targeted with a string of threatening messages linked to the Islamic State, including demands that they 'convert or die.'
A recent report by Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter revealed that the Assyrian community in the city of Gothenburg, in southwestern Sweden, is being menaced by unidentified aggressors using known Islamic State methods and symbols. According to reports, local police are investigating the threats, but so far have found nothing."

Matthew Holehouse recently wrote about the potential for exit referendums in the U.K. Telegraph:

Officials now speak of contagion. At a time when voters across the continent are doubting Brussels' capacity to deliver peace and prosperity, Mr Cameron has elevated the in-out referendum from the hobby-horse of fringe groups into the government policy of Europe’s second economy.
The fear among EU diplomats is that if Britain"

Asked 'what are the chances that Latvia will become part of the Caliphate?' white convert and centre spokesman Ahmed Robert Klimovičs said he hoped it would. On the future of the predominantly Christian nation of just two million people – less than the population of Britain’s second city – Mr. Klimovičs said: 'Latvians understand that in 50 years this will be an Islamic State. This is because Islamic children will be in the majority'."

Marijuana, Killing California! - Roger Morgan
Oh my!...
Roger Morgan tells this story at Townhall.com:
"Marijuana consumes an average of 6 gallons of water per plant per day. Naturally, they need more water during the summer dry months, whereas 90 to 95% of California rainfall occurs in the winter months. So at a time when stream flows are at their lowest, particularly during the drought, the enormous influx of pot cultivators are diverting water, which in many cases exceeds 100% of the capacity of the streams. The result is an ecological disaster for everything down stream, including amphibian species, reptiles, birds, mammals and aquatic species. Many of these are already sensitive and declining."

There's a fun part in here where the writer devastatingly oompares Dr. Evans qualifications with those of former Vice President Al Gore...
Brian C. Joondeph writes about this at AmericanThinker.com:
"Pope Francis and President Obama continue to preach the perils of global warming, not concerning themselves with any pause or faulty climate models.
One of the world's leading climate change experts disagrees about those perils noting some 'mathematical anomalies which effectively 'disprove' global warming."
Dr. David Evans was a climate modeler for the Australian government.
He has six degrees in applied mathematics. In analyzing 'complex mathematical assumptions widely used to predict climate change,' he predicts stable temperatures until 2017, after which the Earth will cool for the next decade, ushering in a mini-ice age by 2030."
"Americans Are Void of Critical Thinking Skills"
Patricia L. Dickson elaborates on this at AmericanThinker.com:
"Never has there been a time in history requiring that an individual be equipped with critical thinking skills more than now. The biggest problem that America is facing today is the inability of the vast majority of the citizenry to think critically."
"Why is it imperative for the citizenry to be able to think critically? Because the mainstream media has abandoned its responsibility of reporting facts in exchange for distracting, distorting, propagandizing and protecting. The public education system also ran by liberals, has dumbed down the quality of education in exchange for explicit (non-age appropriate) sex education and revised negative American history. For these reasons, individuals must master the ability to think critically in order to navigate through the lies and distortions coming from the mainstream media so that we can elect people based on his or her record of accomplishments, stance on important issues, and the substance of his or her rhetoric."

Welfare vs. Defense, By the Numbers | National Review Online
Well, here's where we are...
On the National Review website, Kevin D. Williamson shares information about government spending:
"Recap: In GDP terms, we spend about a third on the military today compared to what we spent in the late 1950s. We spend almost exactly the same on interest on the debt. We spend 20 percent less on energy, transportation, the environment, and natural resources. And we spend almost four times as much on welfare. Again, that is in GDP terms, and our economy is a heck of a lot bigger than it was in 1957. As a share of all federal spending, welfare has gone from 23 percent of spending to 73 percent of federal spending. In constant-dollar terms, we spend 17.5 times as much. In nominal-dollar terms, we spend 150 times as much."

Marco Rubio Says He Believes Obama's Amnesty 'Is Important' | The Daily Caller

"Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio offered a measure of support for President Obama’s first executive amnesty program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, during a recent interview he conducted in Spanish this week with Univision’s Jorge Ramos.
Rubio’s comments mark a reversal of sorts from criticism he offered of DACA last year, and they also put him at odds with the conservative Republican base, which he will need in his corner if he hopes to win the 2016 GOP presidential nomination."

The Democrats — with their eminently indictable presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton — don’t like the idea of fundamental change any better than the Republicans. They prefer GOP opponents who don’t fight back, lose gracefully, and keep their seats at the national trough."

At ScienceAlert.com, Fiona MacDonald explains the water "myth":
"So where did the great water myth come from? It's generally believed that the source is a 1945 Food and Nutrition Board Recommendation that declared, 'a suitable allowance of water for adults is 2.5 litres daily in most instances. An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 millilitre for each calorie of food'. As you might have guessed, 2.5 litres more or less works out to be around eight glasses. But what's usually ignored from that report is the crucial next sentence: 'Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods.' "
"Doctors Without Borders Ignored Geneva Rules Before U.S. Air Attack"

'Doctors Without Borders marked the roof of the building in the week prior to the Oct. 3 airstrikes,' said Tim Shenk, a DWB press officer. “The markings are hospital flags with the MSF logo.”
The DWB hospital flag with the organization’s logo is not among the internationally recognized emblems that warn attacking pilots to avoid the marked structure.
The DWB refused to produce any aerial photos of the building or describe the size of the purported flags."
"The Democrats’ Gift to the GOP"
Noah Rothman writes for Commentary Magazine:
"From a Republican’s perspective, though, last night was a blessing. The first and only time in which the Democratic field will gather to debate in prime time on a weekday before the first votes are cast in Iowa and New Hampshire featured a cavalcade of liberal politicians all (with the notable exception of Jim Webb) pandering to the Democratic Party’s fringe elements. The candidates spent a fair bit of energy attempting to rehabilitate European-style socialism, competed over who would embrace the most restrictive gun rights policy, promised a bevy of 'free' services that none of them will ever be able to deliver, rejected the perfectly noncontroversial notion that 'all lives matter,' and assured their wide-eyed viewers that the greatest national security threat facing the nation was the weather and that the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs should be essentially mothballed. This is the stuff of GOP ad-makers’ dreams."

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. officials conclude Iran deal violates federal law | Fox News
That probably means it will be in the news for a long time...
On the Fox News website James Rosen writes about this entanglement:
"At issue is a passage tucked away in ancillary paperwork attached to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, as the Iran nuclear deal is formally known. Specifically, Section 5.1.2 of Annex II provides that in exchange for Iranian compliance with the terms of the deal, the U.S. 'shall…license non-U.S. entities that are owned or controlled by a U.S. person to engage in activities with Iran that are consistent with this JCPOA.'
In short, this means that foreign subsidiaries of U.S. parent companies will, under certain conditions, be allowed to do business with Iran. The problem is that the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act (ITRA), signed into law by President Obama in August 2012, was explicit in closing the so-called 'foreign sub' loophole."

In the Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer opens his article with this and continues with some reality checking:
"So with the Roseburg massacre in Oregon. Within hours, President Obama takes to the microphones to furiously denounce the National Rifle Association and its ilk for resisting 'common-sense gun-safety laws.' His harangue is totally sincere, totally knee-jerk and totally pointless. At the time he delivers it, he — and we — know practically nothing about the shooter, nothing about the weapons, nothing about how they were obtained.
Nor does Obama propose any legislation. He knows none would pass. But the deeper truth is that it would have made no difference. Does anyone really believe that the (alleged) gun-show loophole had anything to do with Roseburg? Universal background checks sound wonderful. But Oregon already has one. The Roseburg shooter and his mother obtained every one of their guns legally."

Obama’s Intel Scandal
That being said, the current administration seems to do a lot more...
Stephen F. Hayes has the story on the Weekly Standard website:
"From 2011 through 2013, top Obama administration and intelligence officials downplayed and discarded intelligence on al Qaeda and its activities. As President Obama sought to convince the American public that al Qaeda was dying, analysts at CENTCOM were quietly providing assessments showing the opposite was true. In 2012, as administration officials made their public claims, the briefings they received from the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, included assessments that al Qaeda had doubled in strength over the preceding two years. A top DIA official was told directly to stop producing reports based on documents collected during the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. And when a member of the House Intelligence Committee sought to investigate these allegations of manipulation, he was misled repeatedly.
So the intelligence manipulation now making headlines is not a new scandal, but a broadening of an earlier one—the systematic and willful effort to sell the American people a false narrative about the global jihadist movement and our efforts to defeat it."
