Obama proposes budget cuts to anti-terror funds

Because there’s no threat, you see, because Islam is peace, don’t you know?

“Schumer slams Obama budget cuts to anti-terror funds,” Associated Press, February 14, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Charles Schumer is slamming a White House proposal that would reduce funding for counterterrorism programs across the country by nearly $300 million.

The New York Democrat is pushing President Barack Obama to reconsider the cuts.

Schumer notes that the cuts to the Urban Area Security Initiative were included in the proposed 2017 budget released last week by the White House. The initiative helps fund programs in cities across the U.S. to prevent extremist attacks, or respond to and recover from them. The proposed budget would cut the funding from $600 million to $330 million.

“These proposed cuts are ill-advised and ill-timed and they must be reversed. End of story,” Schumer said in a statement to The Associated Press. “In light of recent attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and the vow by our extremist enemies to launch more attacks on our shores, it makes no sense to propose cuts to vital terror-prevention programs like UASI.”

Schumer, who is expected to hold a news conference Sunday to decry the cuts, said the program is necessary to adequately fund counterterrorism programs in high-density urban areas like New York City.

“New York City remains terror target number one and the NYPD relies on these programs to keep us safe,” he said….

      “What does Obama care? He’s leaving next year.”
      It’s NOT next year yet ,and there’s plenty of damage he still wants to IMPOSE on this country
      He’s president until he’s not

        My point is that whatever terror attacks happen as result of this budget cut will happen on someone else’s watch – his image won’t be directly affected so he doesn’t have to give a damn whether something bad happens to allegedly “imperialistic, neo-colonialist” America.

          Angemon…I don’t Kow if You have read this…But I think the whole country should.

          Iran may even use the recent ease of sanctions to help North Korea in their mutual goal. “Contrary to some ‘expert’ analysis, both the recent North Korean nuclear and the Iranian ballistic missile tests are deadly serious threats to the United States. The danger to the United States is particularly consequential due to the close military cooperation of North Korea and Iran. Their combined capabilities, as demonstrated recently, could very well signal a future nuclear attack of the electromagnetic pulse type, for which the U.S., at the moment, is totally unprepared” (The Gates Institute, January 16, 2016).

          I’ve been aware of the potential dangers of an EMP for over a decade, Mark. Any and all American administrations should consider it as one of those events that, regardless of how microscopical the odds of it happening are, given the scope of the consequences it will have if it does happen, they can’t simply ignore it – they should be taking steps to protect America and its citizens.

        • linnte says

          Feb 14, 2016 at 3:42 pm

          Mark, maybe MOST of America is not prepared for EMP attacks, but many many are! Rest assured that those who are prepared will have no problem surviving! Gun up and GET prepared!

          “Any and all American administrations should consider it as one of those events that, regardless of how microscopical the odds of it happening are…”

          I don’t know why you consider the chance of a high-altitude, nuclear blast to be microscopic. Especially, as Obama seems to have no problem rattling rockets to defend Ukrainian totalitarians from Russian totalitarians, or pulling the ranks of NATO together to give cover to a Turkish president shooting down Russian planes and murdering Russian pilots in cold blood. Nothing to worry about at all.

          Perhaps linnte could supply a few links for EMP preparation.

        • linnte says

          Feb 15, 2016 at 4:10 pm

          Preparing for an EMP is simple. Just take yourself back to 1868 and learn all the skills our ancestors needed to survive. Looking on line will lead you to people trying to sell you books and paraphernalia that they THINK you will need. A water filtration device is probably the only really useful bit of modern technology you will need. Save imperishable foods. And GUN UP!

    But he wants billions for gun control. What does that tell you? He is enabling the invasion and disarming America. Treason?.

    • Mark Swan says

      Feb 14, 2016 at 2:59 pm

      The liberal Political Machine…along with media allies may want to Imply that more Gun Control can help with gun violence…but more laws won’t help…that dog won’t hunt…we have very strict laws already in place…just admitting that some sources have that inherent potential is a start…to guarding against violence.

      The Second Amendment allows all law abiding citizens to have and bear arms…
      it is a stroke of social genius…it smacks of American…and hinders a dictator.

      Over 300 million privately owned legal guns in the U. S. is the SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guise)…What that estimate would be if the illegal gun population is included…you guise.

      Gun Violence is highly concentrated in urban areas and associated with gang violence involving male juveniles or young adult males… Although random mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media… random mass shootings account for a very small amount of gun-related deaths…so far…not even a percentage point.

      If any President wants to unify our people…let them see one law for all…wishing something will change is fine…But it takes action to produce results…wanting to be a leader and leading are different subjects completely…let us hope for such a leader soon.

      If We can not reign in these long standing criminal gangs they are still going to be a major source of Illegal Gun distribution and they will aid an abet any one with the funds…If we can not get a lid on this…WE WILL FIND FIGHTING JIHAD MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT WOULD NEED TO BE.

      • RonaldB says

        Feb 14, 2016 at 11:12 pm

        I think you’re giving Obama too much credit to assume he wants to unify the country. We can’t read his mind, but there is no reason to assume any conceptual connection between what Obama does, and any concept of good will.

        I think the gangs you described are exactly the reason Obama and the leftists try so hard to implement gun control. Armed citizens are just not going to be able to fight a full-blown war against a standing army. At the same time, if a civilian population plays it halfway smart, an indigenous military will not tolerate being used against citizens.

        A government, to seize revolutionary power, needs the anarchy of the streets to destroy confidence in the existing government. This is exactly where the gangs come in, and since the government has to keep arms length from the gangs, armed citizens can do very well against armed street gangs.

        The purpose of citizen disarmament is to clear the way for street gangs serving the revolutionary purposes of a government wishing to transition to dictatorship. This is exactly the situation of the SA street thugs who brought Hitler to power.

        • Carolyne says

          Feb 15, 2016 at 1:02 pm

          When Obama was campaigning for President the first time, he said that he intended to build a “Domestic army” as well trained and armed as the traditional military. He did not say for what purpose he would build this domestic army. Now we know. With the death of Justice Scalia, there will be no Supreme Court to uphold the Second Amendment and the citizenry will be disarmed and the country taken over by his “Domestic army.”

    Immediately after ISIS stole $500 million from Iraqi banks
    —- Obama asked for $500 million in clean US bills.

    — Coincidence or money laundering to cover up ISIS procurement and payment trails back to their financial command center?

        Is this the same pic over and over or is this found in multiple pics?

        Because one could absent mindedly to it once or twice, but to have a pattern is another story.

        Isn’t this called passive-aggressiveness?

        And I’m sure there is a whole litany of other psychopathic traits this man has. I think a kindergarten special education teacher could psycho-analyse him pretty well.

    Charles Schumer is a voice of reason among a chorus of uninformed Pollyannas who have no idea of the threat’s magnitude…a threat that is growing with the Muslim population.

    Only a general deprogramming of Muslims worldwide will we have peace. We need Western governments to fund protocols to debunk Islam and make it unappealing to anyone. Islam is obviously false.

    Prez Barack Hussein is a fiscal hawk, especially now that the federal budget has skyrocketed 40% since 2009. He’s got tough choices to make, especially when it comes to needlessly spending money protecting Americans from Moslems.

    • Oppressaphobe says

      Feb 15, 2016 at 7:37 am

      Not only is it absurd that he wants to cut the budget but

      EVERYTHING HE DOES IS “IN YO’ FACE AMERICA!”

      He has a islamo-political motive every time he moves.

      300 million is a pittance in HIS budget so WHY DID HE EVEN PROPOSE THAT?

      Wake up America-he is sending signals to his muslim buddies and they eventually will hear the words and GO FOR IT!

    Feb 15, 2016 at 7:42 am

    That is EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING.

    PURE AND EVIL DESTRUCTION AT EVERY TURN.

    WHAT DAY HAS HE NOT STUCK HIS MIDDLE FINGER UP AT YOU AMERICA?

    WHAT DAY DID HE NOT SLAP YOUR FACE AMERICA:

    Him and his San Bernardino bride, and his friends Beyoncé. Islamic women are used by their men:

    They are used as little bull dogs for the coward men-notice how they are all so militant?

    Then they are used as pure meat for the pleasure (so-called).

    These dumb women can’t see how they are despised.

    Obama is a flippant SOB!

    He takes everything that America really cares about and puts his middle finger up.

    Example: We lost a great man, so-called died quietly in his sleep, allegedly refused security, reportedly has a pillow over his head, found by the owner of the resort, Mr. Poindexter.

    What a bunch of hogwash! None of this makes sense and Americans wanted an autopsy to put at least the weak minded at rest.

    Did we get it from this SOB? Of course we didn’t. Why?

    This is UNPRESIDENTED for an important figure to die all alone in a room in the wilderness and NOBDOY FINDS HIM FOR HOURS????

    Nonsense! Foul play MUST ALWAYS BE RULED OUT FOR A DEATH OF A LEADER, STUPID JUDGE AND MORONIC COPS!!

    When you look at this weird death in light of its consequences, you see that conservatives were given the middle finger again.

    An Obama appointee will be a sharia friendly, gun hater, America hater and free speech hater.

    In other words, you’ve lost your country boys and girls.

    So cut the budget for security 300 million?? Not surprised at all! Tell Schumer we want an autopsy. This family had no right to deny americans an autopsy

    This could have been terrorism–let’s just call it jihad!! Yet, not a word from the quislings.

    I asked the resort if they used any special security for high ranking officials and they hung up on me.

    Just a question guys! Why so sensitive?!.

    I’m an American and I have a right to know why my judge is declared within hours to have just died in his sleep.

    Yet he was fine at 9 pm. according to the owner of the resort. We all have a right to know.

    • Carolyne says

      Feb 15, 2016 at 11:47 am

      I have been so concerned with the coming results of Justice Scalia’s death that I hadn’t thought of the possibility that he was murdered. With his death, our Constitution died. Obama and his Muslim minions will see to that.

      Makes one wonder.

      • Oppressaphobe says

        Feb 15, 2016 at 12:02 pm

        I believe we should join the small crowd that is demanding an autopsy.

        We should want to know why he was there, who he was with, who saw him last, who was in charge of watching him, why did his family send him alone if he was sick and why didn’t they check on him.

        Why was a judge unavailable, why did one say she couldn’t make it there on time, sounds flakey like there was no cooperation or coordination of people involved.

        This place was awfully isolated and why was he in such a place without security, sick. Doesn’t anybody suspect that ISIS has infiltrated institutions in Texas, being so close to the border. Nobody wants to know if this was an inside job by CIA, by ISIS, by Unions?

        Since when do Americans not want to know about assasinations and coverups and intrigue. I find there is a complete lack of any curiosity on the part of Americans when somebody is fine at 9 pm and the circumstances surrounding this is very weird.

        That’s not even bringing up the political swirl that he was in the middle of.

        There a lot here and we deserve answers.

        I also find it disgusting that Obama even talks about replacements.

        A classy guy would refuses to talk about politics. Obama typically has NO CLASS.

        I would have said, “We are going to let our nation mourn, respect the family and we will talk politics later.”

        Did you catch the look on his face? He was GLEEFUL!

  15. Oppressaphobe says

    Feb 15, 2016 at 12:19 pm

    It’s also strange that this happened on a Sat., just before presidents day so it gets the LEAST POSSIBLE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

    I just find that very interesting. If I were Obama, I would really want to clear myself, and as such I would order an autopsy, I would reserve any comment and I would really try to look more sorrowful.

    I believe we will get somebody that would entertain sharia law, plus all the other common allegations.

    (and he didn’t wear a tie, as rush just said but this is another middle finger)

  16. Oppressaphobe says

    Feb 15, 2016 at 3:23 pm

    History will record that the people wanted an autopsy and the future generation will say, I wonder why?
