Guess Who Hates Us Even More Now Than When Bush Was President? »

The French? Well, they might, but no, that’s not who I mean. The British? Well, most likely, especially they way Obama has dissed them (like sending back the bust of Churchill, and that is the mere tip of the iceberg)? Nope. The Arab World. Yep, that’s right, even after Obama’s bowing and scraping to them, [...]

Is The MSM Hiding Attacks On Women Journalists? »

* Bumped Up * Again? So it would seem. This time, it is in Palestine by Hamas Security officers. But I bet you haven’t heard a word about it, have you? Had it not been for Phyllis Chesler, I wouldn’t have known, either. In Chesler’s excellent post, “Arab Spring: Male-on-Female Atrocities In Gaza Disappeared By [...]

Is Our Director Of Intelligence Really This Clueless? »

As you may have heard by now, the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, announced at a House Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday that the Muslim Brotherhood wasn’t all that, they were basically a secular group who hadn’t a violent bone in their body. Okay, maybe not THAT bad, but close enough. See for yourself:

Flotilla Choir, Helen & Charles »

Everyone is entitled to his or her own, different point of view. Some may say this first video belongs out there with the folks who think we let 9/11 happen so we could go to war or that we knew the Emperor was planning an attack on Pearl Harbor. But the performance is solid. The [...]

Secretary Clinton and Envoy Mitchell Confer on Middle East »

First things first: Lest there be any confusion among New York Times reporters, here is what Hillary Clinton says at the conclusion of the press conference: “We are going to report to the President in the next day.” “We,” not “he.” (The full text is below the fold.) Here is Reuters’ video report on the [...]

An inevitable outcome in Gaza »

(bumped up by Susan)   “Hamas officials were set to hold talks in Cairo with Egyptian mediators to hear the Israeli response to proposals put forward by the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip. Hamas has offered a one-year, renewable truce on condition that all Israeli forces leave Gaza within a week and that [...]

Hamas and Iran »

(bumped up from Thursday early afternoon) From Pat Lang’s blog, Sic Semper Tyrannis. Pat’s bio is below. UPDATE: Corrected to include full text. …………………………………………. I have been asked to explain for the general public how it is that Hamas ("The Movement for Islamic Resistance"), A Sunni Muslim organization has come to be supported by the [...]

Fire, Water, Wind, and Old Men »

“The most frightening dangers come from four sources: fire, water, wind, and old men.” So goes the ancient Chinese saying, reminding us that decisions leaders make—most of them by old men—often endanger the innocents no matter which side or who started the fight. Bernard-Henri Levy’s striking essay, Liberate the Palestinians from Hamas , seeks to [...]

Our Little Shop of Horrors »

I have to admit that I feel kinda sorry for the guy. I would for any President buying into our current crises (of which there are far more than pictured here), but especially for one who has no experience in dealing with any of them. I wonder if (or how often) our President-Elect says to [...]

A Matter of Degrees »

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not Palestine, not [...]

Gaza: A view from the other side »

I am certainly no expert in Middle Eastern affairs. Like many here, I just gather all the information I can and then form my opinions based on my own internal belief system. Like all, I have built in biases and pre-dispositions that shape those beliefs. I am Jewish and have thus spent a lifetime having [...]

A Departure… *OPEN THREAD* »

From the intensity of Hammas and Israel, Obama’s vacation in Hawaii and continued testiness with the press (um, NOW do I get to say “I told you so”?? I did, you know – recently, too, in my “Elevation” post. Just sayin’.), and all of that… As you may know, I am on vacation, and had [...]

Joe The Plumber, You Should Have Never Questioned Comrade Obama »

I’m sitting here thinking that ACORN is committing in-your-face voter registration fraud all over the country, Barack Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 via one of their hundreds of subsidiaries operating out of the same address. The purpose: To “Get Out The Vote”. He trained early little ACORNS when they were just little nuts in [...]

MSNBC Lets a Little Real News Peek Through »

In Friday’s First Read on MSNBC, Mark Murray filed a roundup that has me completely shocked! A little anti-Obama news actually saw the light of day. They’d better hurry and shackle Mark Murray before he gets completely out of control. Here are the pertinent tidbits: Murray refers to a report coming out of the NYTimes: [...]

Hallelujah!! »

Good news, All Ye Faithful! The Obama Camp has designed religious paraphernalia on which you can spend your hard-earned dollars! Now you can show your adoration for your faith and for Obama all at the same time! Oh, wait – was that redundant?? At God-O-Meter, the new items available were revealed. Oh, yes. Up first, [...]
