In Brief

Laura Payne, volunteer coordinator for The Botanic Garden at Oklahoma State University, said applications are being accepted for the 2016 OSU Cooperative Extension Horticulture Volunteer Pro-gram through Dec. 18.

The Botanic Garden Am-bassadors support The Bo-tanic Garden at OSU by pro-viding assistance with garden maintenance, staffing open houses and special events, providing guided tours of the garden, helping maintain the plants in the greenhouse during the winter months and serving as representatives in the community.

The ambassadors also play a vital role in the development of new gardens and the pro-gramming offered to adults and children at the garden.

Training sessions begin Jan. 12, 2016 and run through April 12.

Santa Claus(es) coming to townLooking for a unique Santa to

adorn your Christmas cards this year?

Only one local event offers literal-ly dozens to choose from.

Chisholm Trail Museum will again host “Santas of the World” at the Governor Seay Mansion from 2-4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6.

This free event includes live Christmas music performed by a string ensemble from Harding Fine Arts Academy in Oklahoma City and live dulcimer music performed by Wayne Cantwell, and a variety of desserts from recipes from around the world.

Santas of the World started in 2005 as an Oklahoma Historical Society program, consisting of seven people who researched then re-enacted stories about Christmas gift bringers from around the world.

The group has since expanded to more than 30 Santas who visit local historical places to present each story related to the Christmas celebration.

“It has been interesting to see how many of the stories have the same central characters and the same roots,” museum curator Adam Lynn said. “Many of the countries celebrate on different days through-out December and into January,” he

said. “Some of the gift-bringers were women and not all were round and jolly.”

Some of the participating San-tas are: Mr. and Mrs. Sinterclauus (1808) from the Netherlands; LaBefa-na(1600s), the Christmas witch from Italy; Baboushka (pre-Soviet Russian) from Russia; Pere Noe l(1500s) and his daughter Ophelia, from France; Star Man(1700s) and his wife from Ireland; the Wallace Tartan Santa(1840s) from Scotland; Black Peter(1500s) from Holland; Julnisse (1600s) from Denmark and Norway; the Civil War Santa(1860s) from America; St. Nicholas (400s-1100s)

from Europe and Holland; Jultom-ten (1500’s) from Sweden; Christ-kindle (1900) from Central Europe; Pelsnickel (1700’s) from the Middle American Colonies; the New York Santa(1870s) and his wife from early New York; Ded Moroz (1900s), and his granddaughter from Soviet Rus-sia; gift-bringers from Mexico and Central America, the Ice Queen from Iceland, The Watcher of the Woods from Siberia and others.

Each character will present a short story telling the history of that gift bringer, when that country celebrates the season, and other historic facts about the holidays in each country.

SOME OF THE SANTAS visiting include, at left, Mr. and Mrs. Sinterclause from the Netherlands in the 1880s and Father Christmas and Baboushka, from pre-Soviet Russia. [Photos Provided]

Rainfall totaling up to 2.3 inches was measured across Kingfisher County Friday morning.

Not only that but ice was forming on trees and barbed wire and other outdoor objects.

The overnight low of 35 degrees was followed by a reading of 32 degrees about 8 a.m. The projected high for the day was 33 degrees.

The freezing rain, while not se-riously affecting roads as of Friday morning, brought the specter of power outages to local residents’ minds.

Some outages were reported Fri-day morning by Cimarron Electric

Cooperative, which warned mem-bers that outages might continue through the weekend due to ice forming on lines.

As of Friday morning, Cimarron Electric reported two lines down, one out of Watonga and one west of Hennessey. Repair crews were en route to both locations.

Lines were reported “galloping” west of Watonga, which increases the risk of outages as ice accumula-tion continues.

Although most of the ice accu-mulation over the weekend was expected west of U.S. 81, the wintry weather also revived images of the

OU-OSU “ice bowl” bedlam game to football fans.

Rainfall amounts were heavier in the west end of the county than the east.

Light rain continued falling across the county Friday morning.

Rainfall amounts reported across the county included:

Kingfisher – 1.32 inches at the official National Weather Service gauge at the residence of Local Weather Observer Steve Loftis at 7 a.m. Barry Reid recorded almost 2.5 inches in an unofficial gauge in west Kingfisher about 8 a.m. Friday.

Hennessey –1.85 inches was

recorded by Harold Ebers, east of Hennessey, as of 7 a.m. Friday.

Dover – Jack Witt recorded two inches at his residence northwest of Dover.

Okarche – Two inches was mea-sured at the Plains Partners Elevator in Okarche. Reports from an inch to an inch and a half were heard at the Okarche Grain and Feed office eight miles west of Okarche.

Cashion – .8 inch was recorded at the Cashion Grain and Feed El-evator.

Loyal – Jon Cochran Sr. reported 2.3 inches in his unofficial gauge in Loyal.

Heavy rain raises specter of icy outages

While the oil industry in Oklaho-ma is slowing almost to a standstill, Newfield Exploration and Produc-tion has announced plans to invest $1.4 billion in its Anadarko Basin operations this year, including those in Kingfisher County.

Ten Newfield-contracted drilling rigs are working in the area, company literature states.

The company’s production is up 50 percent in the Anadarko Basin – to 27.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE).

Seventy percent of the company’s capital budget is invested in Okla-homa.

Newfield is ranked as Oklahoma’s fourth largest producer after entering the region in 2001.

Newfield has 475,000 acres leased and has drilled 550 horizontal wells to date.

Newfield praises Oklahoma as a great place to operate because of its workforce, infrastructure, services and favorable regulatory and tax structures.

Company literature also points out that Newfield has invested nearly $6 billion in Oklahoma since 2001 and pas paid $240 million in gross production taxes since 2002 as well as $1.3 billion in royalties since 2002. It expects to pay another $300 million over the next three years.

Newfield has 275 employees, up from 72 in 2001 plus many contrac-

tors and thousands of indirect jobs.An economic assessment of oil

and gas policy compiled by OERB (Oklahoma Energy Resources Board) as of January 2014 indicates that the oil and gas business generates 13.5 percent of personal income, about 22 percent of all taxes paid, including $2 billion in direct state tax, and is the largest source of capital spending, $11.7 billion. Since 2010, the industry has added nearly 15,000 jobs.

Oklahoma ranks fourth in the nation in natural gas production and fifth in crude oil production.

The Anadarko Basin, which un-derlies a majority of Kingfisher County, is described as the largest and deepest onshore U.S. basin with excellent source rocks (10-15 per-cent of Total Organic Compounds [TOCs]).

The Anadarko Basin features 2,000 to 3,000 feet of stacked resourc-es such as Woodward, Sycamore, Caney, Meramec and Springer.)

Newfield’s wells are drilled 7,000 to 15,000 below the surface with hor-izontal segments 5,000 to 10,000 feet.

To date Newfield has drilled 150 wells in the SCOOP and 59 in the STACK formations of the Anadarko Basin.

The Anadarko Basin comprised 28 percent of Newfield’s proven re-serves as of the end of 2014. It drilled four wells in 2011, 23 in 2012, 20 in 2013, 61 in 2014 and projects drilling

95 in 2015 with 61 already completed.Hydraulic fracturing (fracing) is

a principal process in producing oil and gas from the formations under-lying the county.

While the process has received a lot of attention recently, the process was developed in the 1940s and the technology has advanced for more than 60 years.

It has been applied to more than 1.2 million U.S. wells to date.

Newfield says the process is tem-porary, lasting up to seven days per well.

The process is separated from groundwater sources by more than a mile of rock.

Without it, producing oil and gas from tight rock formations would not be commercially viable.

More than 90 percent of Newfield wells drilled in the next 10 years will require fracing, the company predicts

The process is regulated by mul-tiple state and federal agencies and is supervised by highly-trained engi-neers and technicians, Newfield said.

Most water is needed during the completion stage of a well when the formations are fractured to create pathways for oil and natural gas to flow to the production wells.

A hydraulic fracturing job re-quires about four million gallons of water over a several-day span, about 1.3 percent of the water used in car

washes daily.To put the water usage in further

perspective, Newfield points out that just one of the nation’s 15,889 golf courses uses four million gallons of water in a summer month. In Oklaho-ma, water used by the oil and natural gas industry represents about 2 per-cent of the state’s total water demand.

A legal notice published recently stated that Newfield has applied for a permit to construct a lined pit in the area to use in the storage and trans-port of water used in oil-gas well development as a means of reusing water when practical and minimiz-ing truck traffic.

Recent news articles linking seis-mic events to man-made activities, brought this response:

Newfield is working with scien-tists and the Oklahoma Geological Survey, the University of Oklahoma, Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey to better understand seismic events.

EPA, USGS and scientific con-sensus indicates that fracing rarely causes earthquakes.

Studies link some man-made activities to triggered seismic events but events vary from region to region based on geology, location of faults and injection activity.

However, the vast majority of dis-posal wells do not cause earthquakes and risk can be mitigated by appro-

Newfield continuing local investmentsCompany adding assets as production falls elsewhere

Josie Red Nose had prayer meeting for her daughter, Imogene Teeth, and her fam-ily. Her husband got notice to come home to work at Busby, Mont. Quite a few families came, also Mary Hagg of Calumet. After prayer meet-ing, supper served. They had enough food for 60 people. A special had been cooked for older folks - dried corn with shanks - a regular In-dian dish, and plenty left over. Imogene received some gifts, and she got many other items during Armistice day at Watonga.

appropriate industry prac-tices, the Newfield literature continues.

The Oklahoma Corpora-tion Commission has pro-vided some guidelines on the issue including:

• A traffic light system to reduce operations when seis-micity is potentially an issue;

• OCC, OGS, SCITS (Stan-ford Center for Induced Triggered Seismicity) and the industry partnering to devel-op detailed geologic fault and stress maps to define injec-tion avoidance areas.

Newfield supports the

“StatesFirst” init iative, which is a collaborative ef-fort between regulators and researchers to allow state expertise to determine its own remedies.

Continued research and monitoring of earthquake activity by the Oklahoma Geological Survey also is encouraged.

Newfield’s SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Prov-ince) and STACK (Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin Cana-dian and Kingfisher) plays are not included in areas of greatest concern.

Newfield’s activities to

reduce the threat include operating under OCC’s traf-fic light system, evaluating historical data and geologic formations to placed new disposal wells in optimal lo-cations pursuing alternatives to disposal such as recycling and continuing work with academia to establish im-proved standards.

Newfield cites its ac-tivities in giving back to communities, including do-nating funds and materials for infrastructure and local services, and supporting local charities through its foundation.

With insurance enroll-ment deadlines for Medicare and the Health Insurance Marketplace quickly ap-proaching, many consumers across Oklahoma and the nation are faced with im-portant decisions that could have lasting consequences. So, how should you go about making the best choice?

Start by identifying your family’s specific needs and circumstances, said Sissy Os-teen, Oklahoma State Univer-sity Cooperative Extension personal resource manage-ment specialist.

“Answering some im-portant basic questions will play a big role in the type and amount of coverage you seek,” Osteen said. “Think about the ages and health of family members who need coverage, as well as your financial circumstances. For many families, the most im-portant considerations are what is covered, how much it costs, and which doctors and hospitals are included in the plan.”

Also, think about your lifestyle and family history. For instance, do you follow a poor diet or a healthy one? Does your family have a re-cord of poor health?

Generally, insurance is usually cheaper the younger and healthier you are, and your budget and finances will influence the premium you will be able to afford.

Keep in mind regardless of the policy you select, you

will have some out-of-pocket expenses for deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts. It is a good idea to look into any available flex benefit plans to offset these expenses with before-tax dollars.

For more information on general factors to consider when exploring insurance, www.aarp.org is a good re-source, particularly for older adults. The Oklahoma In-surance Department (www.ok.gov/oid) can offer infor-mation and even assistance in cases where you might be experiencing difficulties getting your insurance needs met.

Once you know what you need, you can begin research-ing specific policies matching those needs. In the case of Medicare and the Health In-surance Marketplace, www.medicare.gov and www.healthcare.gov, respectively, are good starting points.

Learn as much as you can about any potential policies with a goal of gaining an un-derstanding of what is and is not covered.

“As you’re looking closely at the services offered under any plan that interests you, don’t be afraid to ask ques-tions. Thanks to technology, most businesses offer mul-tiple ways to contact them,” Osteen said. “You certainly don’t want to be faced with a situation in which you think you’re covered for something and then find out you’re not.”

Finally, as you narrow your search and ultimately chose a plan, be aware of all key dates and deadlines.

“You need to know the en-rollment deadline, of course, but it’s also important to know when your coverage kicks in and when it expires,” Osteen said.

Have a happy, politics-free Thanksgiving

By Michelle Malkin

Many people naturally assume that since I work in political journalism, I must breathe, drink and eat poli-tics 24/7/365, including on the Thanksgiving holiday.

The thought of it gives me indigestion.

Self-absorbed creatures who have no life outside the Beltway world are the most tiresome ogres. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest advised Americans “sitting around the Thanksgiving table” to talk about gun con-trol. The left-wing National Memo published “5 Things To Tell Your Republican rela-tives at Thanksgiving.” And The New York Times served up its own version of “How to Talk to Your Relatives About Politics at Thanksgiv-ing,” stuffed with poll data and hyperlinks to other lib-eral sources of information.

Nobody needs trypto-phan when you’ve got Pun-dy McPundit (amateur, pro-fessional or otherwise) at the table to bore your company to death with his or her in-sights on “climate-proofing” your holiday feast; bombard you with details about Bernie Sanders’ latest Web ad; re-gurgitate John Kasich’s latest attacks on critics of his mas-sive Medicaid expansion; or champion Jeb Bush’s latest re-re-re-reboot (two excla-mation points, new talking points, a fix-it toolbox, blah, blah blah).

Zzzzzzzz.I feel sorry for rabid parti-

sans on either side of the aisle who refuse to talk to family members, co-workers or friends who support a candi-date they don’t like. Life’s too short – and 99 percent of all politicians are crapweasels, anyway.

I’ve encountered un-hinged hotheads who yelled at me in front of my kids at IHOP over my appearances over the years on Fox News. Way to ruin a Funny Face Pancake moment, one-di-mensional oafs.

And I’ve known people who shunned my left-lean-ing in-laws because they refused to denounce their conservative daughter-in-law. Gotta love the Tolerance Brigade.

Newsflash: Even amid a heated campaign season, global jihadist terror and economic insecurity, there is more to life than #WINNING political arguments.

It shouldn’t be a struggle to avoid yelling about Bush, Clinton or Trump as you pass the sweet-potato casserole. Don’t get mad. Get perspec-tive. Here, let me help:

If your children are alive, free and healthy, count your blessings and say a prayer for all those parents spending the holiday week in hospi-tals, hospices, clinics, jails or funeral homes.

If you can’t think of some-thing nice to say to the person sitting next of you, trade memories of the dearest, de-parted loved ones you share a connection with who are no longer sitting at the table at all.

Pick up an instrument and play music together or sing some old hymns of Thanks-giving (“We Gather Togeth-er” was always my favorite).

Take a walk, breathe fresh air, go out on the deck and make fire pit s’mores (or use the gas grill).

Show the young ones at your gathering how to make rubberband stars, advanced paper airplanes, origami hearts or crochet snowflakes.

Get silly. Play “Charades” or “Spoons” or “Balder-dash.” Laugh at yourself and laugh with your relatives.

Don’t take family time for granted. Ever. You never know when your time will be up. It would be ridiculous if the very last, parting words you traded with an elderly uncle or sibling or cousin you rarely get to see were “You’re an idiot for voting for (fill in the blank)!” instead of “I love you.”

Look up at the stars. Re-member how small and insignificant you are in the universe.

Finally: When you gather ‘round the turkey, try not to be one.

It appears the Big 12 conference may be imploding, so far as the national champion football playoff is concerned.

If Oklahoma fails to defeat Oklahoma State on Saturday night, which – sorry to tell you, Sooner fans, could happen – especially if OU Quarterback Baker Mayfield is not cleared for action – and if Texas Christian University defeats Baylor, it is likely no Big 12 team will have the opportunity to compete for the national championship.

But not to worry; all of the teams will qualify for interest-ing bowl games and provide plenty of interesting action for college football enthusiasts.

We do hate to see the ESPN football moguls preen over getting their Southeast Conference dandies in the big show.

The kid who held up a sign in the stands during a recent televised game at Stillwater calling ESPN the public relations agency for the Southeast Conference was right on in our opinion. The individual or individuals who made him take it down were off base. So what if the ESPN bigwigs might have been offended?

They’re not going to ignore Cowboy games if they can make money on them. ESPN doesn’t let its money get mad.

College football’s regular season is nearing its close, which means college basketball is coming to the forefront. After the basketball conference season begins it is almost as interesting as the football season, probably more interesting to many.

To this writer, any college game is better than the profes-sional variety. What makes it most interesting is that most college teams have to adjust their game plans to camouflage some weakness (as opposed to the pros where there is an abundance of talent at every position.

Basketball takes us through the winter season when those outdoor stadium seats get extremely cold and uncomfortable and it’s warm inside.

However, there is still some high school ball to keep fans’ interest.

Cashion hosts Hollis Friday night in a class 2A quarterfi-nal. It may be difficult to find a seat in the Wildcat stadium.

* * *We feel sorta bad now about laughing when Kansas State

came from behind to beat Iowa State with three seconds left in their recent game, especially after reading that the Iowa State coach was fired after that loss.

That’s college football: you win or you’re gone.However, we might like to be fired if we collected $4.5

million as I-State Coach Paul Rhoads did.He will probably find some other place to coach, anyway.

He’s a young guy who probably won’t be interested in sit-ting around. He might even become an ESPN announcer or analyst.

* * *Who’da thought that a respectable enterprise like a lottery

would be subject to an investigation for crooked dealing?A former lottery security director in Iowa has been con-

victed of rigging a multi-state Hot Lotto game in a failed effort to claim a $16.5 million jackpot.

Now there is investigation of lottery scammer Eddie Tip-ton for a possible conection to the Oklahoma lottery.

Could that be the reason that the Oklahoma lottery, which was supposed to pay for education “for the kids” in the state forever now needs to be supplemented by a penny boost in the state sales tax – at least that is what the state’s big tax users would have us believe?

A state website shows that 51 percent of the state’s $7.14 billion budget went for education, health and workforce development.

The website, Ballotpedia, also states that total spending increased by $800 million between fiscal years 2013 and 2014.

It also notes that state spending increased 4 percent while inflation increased 1.58 percent during that time.

It seems there can never be enough tax money to suit some tax pigs.

Although a sales tax is a fairer tax than an income tax – at least everyone pays some of the sales tax – there will have to be a major selling job to get an increase in the state sales tax approved.

* * *A new Sonic is being planned in Okarche (along U.S. 81

[Main Street]). The Okarche Board of Trustees will consider a recommendation of the planning commission at the regular November meeting to rezone the site planned for the drive-in restaurant Monday evening.

The addition of Sonic is almost sure to boost the town’s sales tax. U.S. 81 is a busy highway and a Sonic will undoubt-edly pull in business from the highway.

* * *Shortly after the new congressional session began – with

a Republican majority, the new majority (most of whom had pledged no new net taxes), Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., went on a Sunday TV show and began espousing the idea of passing a new gas tax.

The idea seemed to be that with lower gas prices due to lower oil prices people would hardly notice the bump.

Well, people did notice and began yelling at such Repub-lican hypocricy. Nothing has come of the insane idea. To have done so would have meant a short-term GOP majority.

It just goes to show, taxpayers should watchanyone they send to Washington – closely. (Washington seems to make some of them go nuts.)

If a tax had been passed, there is little doubt it would have continued right on with higher oil and gasoline prices.

Then government hypocrites could have criticized those “greedy oil companies” for the high fuel prices

Big 12 Conference imploding?

feel like it.I feel like a fool resetting all

the clocks in our house every six months. It’s a huge waste of time, especially in my case. The problem is I collect clocks, but not just any clocks. I col-lect carnival clocks, so called

because they were given away sparingly to the winners of the rigged games of chance on carnival midways in the 1930’s and 40’s. My collection is specialized in that I only collect the clocks that have a horsey or cowboy theme.

I know you’ve seen the clocks of which I speak. Usual-ly there will be a clock inside a horseshoe and a gold colored horse wearing a parade sad-dle with at least one tapedero broken off. (I see this so often I think they were manufac-tured this way). But I also have carnival clocks incorporating a bucking horse, a Roy Rogers look-alike, and a horse and buggy. I even have one with a cowboy twirling a rope that actually twirls and another of a conestoga wagon where the wagon master has a whip that works. Sort of. He whips but the horses don’t budge.

You can see what I’m talking about on eBay and even buy one for about $50, including shipping. Some car-nival clocks also have a light on them but I am a purist and don’t collect those, besides, they are usually priced out

One of my favorite papers is the Livestock Weekly out of West Texas and in a recent issue there was an ad urging readers to support a bill to end daylight savings time in Texas. Some of the reasons they gave for putting an end to the idiotic tradition included: kids wouldn’t have to walk to the bus in darkness, there’d be less insomnia and sleep deprivation, and it would help teachers improve test scores in early morning classes, etc.

I am in full support of any movement to end all this nonsense of springing forward and falling back. I’ve been on a lifelong crusade to end daylight savings time and explained my reasons in a column 30 years ago. Back then I told of an Indian who, when daylight savings time was explained to him, replied, “Cutting one end off a blanket and sewing it on the other end doesn’t make the blanket any shorter or any longer. It just makes it uglier.”

Smart Indian. So I applaud Texans and

wish them luck as they try to join Arizona as our most intelligent and less sleep-deprived states. I only wish we could get it killed everywhere. Even the name is idiotic. Who are we kid-ding? No daylight is being “saved” and it’s completely at odds with the natural world. Mother Nature doesn’t wear a Seiko, Bulova or Rolex and changing the time on a watch or clock doesn’t make the day any longer... it just makes it

Clock work

It’s the PittsBy Lee Pitts

of my range. ($75 or more!) I’ve collected these clocks for decades and year in and year out they have been the best performing asset in my investment portfolio.

As an amateur horologist, I attempt to fix the clock mech-anisms which always seem to be broken. This can be as easy as heating the clock with a hair dryer to melt all the collected crud away, rewiring the clock, or switching out the clock for a battery operated one creating a GMC (genetically modified clock).

Some snooty collectors of fine timepieces call these cow-boy clocks “Schlock Clocks” but I like to think they are of a “timeless” design. My only complaint is that if I am forced to replace the original clock with a battery operated one it means I have to take off the back of the clock to change the time. Do that about 30 times and you too would come to hate the much dreaded day-light savings time and the mandatory changing of the clocks. I’m always behind on my clockwork and by the time I finish setting them it’s time to change them all again.

A wise person once said that a man with two clocks never knows what time it is. What chance do I have of knowing the correct hour of the day with 30 clocks all showing a different time?

Now you know why I support any “movement” that would end daylight savings time.

ECONOMY COMMENTARY

Obama Administration announces 144 big regulations right before Thanksgiving

Obama’s Politically Timed Agenda Releases:Agenda Release DateFall 2012 .........December 21 (Friday before Christmas)Spring 2013 ....July 3 (day before Independence Day)Fall 2013 .........November 27 (day before Thanksgiving)Spring 2014 ....May 23 (Friday before Memorial Day weekend)Fall 2014 .........December 22 (three days before Christmas)Spring 2015 ....May 21 (Thursday before Memorial Day weekend)Fall 2015 ........November 23 (one week before Thanksgiving)

Commentary ByJames Gattuso

President Obama is nothing if not predictable. Required by law to release plans for new regulations twice a year, the admin-istration has consistently done so just before major holidays, when few are paying attention.

Thus, it was no surprise to see his fall 2015 regula-tory agenda released last Friday, as many Ameri-cans focused on Thanks-giving week with family and friends.

A look at the agenda shows why the White House didn’t want it publicized. Over 2,000 regulations are now being written. Of these, 144 are deemed “economically significant”—that is, ex-pected to cost Americans $100 million or more each.

This is a new record, beating the previous high of 136 set by President Obama this spring. The regulations span the full scope of American life, ranging from labeling requirements for pet food,

new test procedures for battery chargers, man-dated paid sick leave for contractors, and automat-ic speed limiters for trucks to a dozen new rules limiting energy use (and increasing the price) of everything from furnaces and dishwashers to dehu-midifiers.

One of these new rules may be of special inter-est to Americans sitting down to their Thanksgiv-ing dinner: mandated la-beling of serving sizes for food that “can reasonably be consumed at one eating occasion.”

Although none of the rules have been adopted yet, the intent is clear. The agenda is a list of what’s

on the drawing board, and with barely a year left in office, the Obama ad-ministration is planning to add even more to the already unprecedented burdens it has placed on the America’s economy and society.

Americans – and the Congress they elect – should put a stop to it.

By Sam RolleyPersonal Liberty

A series of new reports about the Obama adminis-tration’s rolling ignorance and willful inaction in deal-ing with a burgeoning Islam-ic terror threat throughout the world are raising serious questions about the current administration’s true inten-tions.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who formerly served as head of the Defense Intel-ligence Agency (DIA) under President Obama, recently suggested on Fox News that the White House has allowed ISIS to gain power in the Middle East by ignoring in-telligence information.

“Nobody can sit here today, particularly given the amount of intelligence the White House got and say ‘We didn’t know this was a problem.’ Give me a break,” he said on “Kelly File.”

Flynn said that the intelli-

gence Obama received while he headed DIA between 2011 and 2014 very clearly outlined the ways in which the Islamic terror threat was expanding.

“Where intelligence starts and stops is at the White House,” he said. “The presi-dent sets the priorities.

“The accuracy and the warnings that have been pro-vided on the rise of radical Islamists … have been very, very clear.”

In other words, Obama was telling a huge lie when he insisted that ISIS was a “jayvee” threat last year or he wears earplugs during his daily intelligence briefings.

It’s probably a mixture of both.

Last week, former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkis-son made the shocking claim that she’s spoken to people close to the Obama admin-istration who say the presi-dent completely disregards intelligence reports about

certain terror organizations with which he sympathizes.

Attkisson said that peo-ple who have “worked in the Obama administration … firmly believe he … has closed his mind” to new information about terrorists “that he does not consider terrorists.”

“He does not … listen to the people with whom he dis-agrees,” she said. “He seems to dig in … because he thinks he’s right.”

This all comes as the Pentagon reviews whether intelligence analysts on the ground were urged to make ISIS appear less threatening in reports used to determine how the U.S. would move forward in dealing with the group’s emergence on the world stage.

That’s pretty convenient for Obama.

The New York Times re-ported: “President Obama and senior intelligence of-ficials have acknowledged

that the Islamic State’s rapid emergence caught them by surprise. At the least, the prospect that senior officials intentionally skewed intelli-gence conclusions has raised questions about how much Mr. Obama, Congress and the public can believe the military’s assessments.”

The president said that he has ordered military officials to “get to the bottom” of the scandal and assured report-ers that he demands accurate intelligence.

“I have made it repeatedly clear to all my top national security advisers that I nev-er want them to hold back, even if the intelligence or their opinions about the in-telligence, their analysis or interpretations of the data contradict current policy,” he said. “If there are disagree-ments in terms of how folks are interpreting the facts, then that should be reflected in the reports that we receive. … And that’s part of what I

weigh in terms of making decisions.”

That’s funny. Even if he was given rose-shaded na-tional security information rather than willfully ignoring reports of ISIS’s rise, couldn’t he have just read the news to know something seriously bad has been unfolding in the Middle East? That’s where he seems to have discovered all the other ways his adminis-tration has failed.

In coming weeks, expect to hear a lot about how Obama was misinformed about “moderate” rebels in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East – those same rebels ev-ery sane observer outside the Beltway has long recognized as extremists without intel-ligence information. Expect Obama to blame someone else for his belief that ISIS was “contained” the day be-fore the Paris terror attacks. And expect ISIS to continue expanding, while Obama passes the buck.

For some, it’s looking like Obama wants ISIS to win

Obama recently lashed out against the idea of giving preference to Christian refu-gees, describing it as “shame-ful”: “That’s not American. That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion,” loftily add-ed the American president.

Accordingly, the admin-istration is still determined to accept 10,000 more Syrian refugees, almost all of whom will be Muslim, despite the fact that some are ISIS oper-atives, while many share the ISIS worldview (as explained below).

Yet, right as Obama was grandstanding about “who we are,” statistics were re-leased indicating that “the current [refugee] system overwhelmingly favors Muslim refugees. Of the 2,184 Syrian refugees admit-ted to the United States so far, only 53 are Christians while 2,098 are Muslim.”

Aside from the obvious – or to use Obama’s own word, “shameful”–pro-Muslim, anti-Christian bias evident in these statistics, there are a number of other troubling factors as well.

For starters, the over-whelming majority of “ref-ugees” being brought into the United States are not just Muslim, but Sunnis—the one Muslim sect that the Islamic State is not perse-cuting and displacing. After all, ISIS—and most Islamic terrorist groups (Boko Ha-ram, Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab, Hamas, et al)—are all Sun-nis. Even Obama was argu-ably raised a Sunni.

In this context, how are Sunnis “refugees”? Who are they fleeing? Considering that the Obama adminis-tration defines refugees as people “persecuted by their government,” most of those coming into the U.S. either aided or at least sympathized with the jihad against Assad (even if they only revealed their true colors when the time was right).

Simply put, some 98% of all refugees belong to the

same Islamic sect that ISIS does. And many of them, unsurprisingly, share the same vision—such as the “refugees” who recently murdered some 120 people in France, or the “refugees” who persecute Christian mi-norities in European camps and settlements. (None of this should be surprising considering that Al Azhar—the Sunni world’s most prestigious university of Islamic law, which co-host-ed Obama’s 2009 “A New Beginning” speech—was recently exposed as teaching and legitimizing all the atroc-ities that ISIS commits.)

As for those who are being raped, slaughtered, and enslaved based on their non-Sunni religious identi-ty—not by Assad, but by so-called “rebel” forces (AKA jihadis)—many of them are being denied refuge in Amer-ica.

Thus, although Christians were approximately 10 per-cent of Syria’s population in 2011, only one percent has been granted refuge in America. This despite the fact that, from a strictly hu-manitarian point of view—and humanitarianism is the chief reason being cited in accepting refugees, Obama’s “compassion”—Christians should receive priority sim-ply because they are the most persecuted group in the Middle East.

At the hands of the Islamic State, which supposedly pre-cipitated the migrant crisis, Christians have been re-peatedly forced to renounce Christ or die; they have been enslaved and raped; and they have had more than 400

of their churches desecrated and destroyed.[i]

ISIS has committed no such atrocities against fel-low Sunnis, they who are being accepted into the U.S. in droves. Nor does Assad enslave, behead, or crucify people based on their reli-gious identity (despite Jeb Bush’s recent, and absurd, assertions).

Obama should further prioritize Christian refugees simply because his own pol-icies in the Middle East have directly exacerbated their plight. Christians and other religions minorities did not flee from Bashar Assad’s Syr-ia, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, or Muamar Gaddafi’s Libya. Their systematic persecution began only after the U.S. interfered in those nations in the name of “democracy” but succeeding in only uncork-ing the jihadi terrorists that the dictators had long kept suppressed.

Incidentally, prioritizing Christian refugees would not merely be an altruistic gesture or the U.S. govern-ment’s way of righting its wrongs: rather it brings many benefits to America’s security. (Unlike Muslims or even Yazidis, Christians are easily assimilated into West-ern nations due to the shared Christian heritage, and they bring trustworthy language and cultural skills that are beneficial to the “war on terror.”)

Finally, no one should be shocked by these recent revelations of the Obama administration’s pro-Mus-lim and anti-Christian pol-icies. They fit a clear and
