Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Three Things You Need to Know about the 73 Days of Danger ~ Just how much damage can Barack Obama do between November 8th and Inauguration day? Executive abuse on steroids? The ACLJ will be watching.
 
Laws are for the Little People ~ A great piece from Mark Steyn. Clinton corruption defies description (maybe that’s why the msm just ignores it) ~

In any society, the chief magistrate’s first duty is to uphold the law, and throughout human history his easiest temptation, once in office, has been to regard himself as above it. In this case, the American people would be electing someone who, not yet in office, is already above the law, and way beyond it. (Even her bodily fluids are above the law.) That would be an extraordinary act, and Hillary and her cronies would be entirely justified in treating such an electorate with utter contempt.

Judicial Watch: Federal Contractor Tells Local Official to Keep Syria Refugee Plans Secret ~ Shhh… don’t let the sheeple find out how they’re being conned – and colonized ~

Judicial Watch today (10-1-16) released 128 pages of documents it obtained from the mayor of Rutland, Vermont, showing a concerted effort by the mayor and a number of private organizations to conceal from the public their plans to resettle 100 Syrian refugees into the small southern Vermont town […]
 
In December 2015, Judicial Watch sued the U.S. State Department to obtain documents about the Obama administration’s plan to resettle Syrian refugees across the country. Judicial Watch is investigating the Obama administration’s Refugee and Resettlement program, which plans to bring an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States in 2016, and even more in 2017. Obama is pressing ahead with his plan even though 129 people were killed and 350 were wounded by Syrian-trained terrorists recently in Paris.

 
Is Whole Foods Channeling Tony Soprano? ~ I knew something smelled funny at this hipster emporium ~

Turkey to deport American Christian couple as ‘national security risk’ ~ Erdoğan relentlessly pursues his goal: ridding Turkey of all things non-Islamic ~

Turkish officials in the coastal city of Izmir detained American Christians Andrew and Norine Brunson on 7 Oct., refusing ever since to allow daily requests for access to them by U.S. consular officials and lawyers.
 
According to authorities at the Migration Administration’s detention facility in Izmir, the Turkish Interior Ministry had ordered the couple’s deportation within 15 days. Specifically, the directive reportedly accused them of activities said to constitute a “national security risk”.
 
Residents of Turkey for the past 20 years, the Brunsons are currently leading the Izmir Resurrection Church, a small Protestant congregation averaging 30 to 40 worshippers, located in the city’s Alsancak district.

A church with only 30-40 members… That’s a national security risk?

Debate 2016: The Cave Man Versus the Borg Queen ~ An amusingly insightful comparison ~

Despite the chaos in the Middle East, the Holy Spirit is changing hearts ~ Muslims Turn to Christ in Unprecedented Numbers ~

Before the war, it was rare that a Muslim would become a follower of Jesus Christ. The war has changed everything. According to one of the Christian workers of a church in Lebanon, many new converts say they had their doubts about Islam before they converted. “Doubt is many times the key to start a change,” says the church worker.
