Anyone want to take bets on how long this is going to last? If you want the full 72 hours, I\’m giving odds.

Here is a speech by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) about the Israel/hamas conflict, which was made on the floor of the senate this past July 25th. Best 15 minutes you\’ll spend today:
In case you\’re wondering how the prime time cable news shows are doing….here\’s your answer. Wednesday\’s ratings (in...
As you may have noticed, this blog shut down for the past hour or two. Apparently there was some kind of cyber-poltergeist at work. But Martin, the talented intrepid webmaster (along with Larry – but Martin happened to be the contact du jour) somehow found it and everything is back to normal. Sorry for the inconvenience (assuming you like my blog, that...
Billy Sample is a former major league baseball player who, for years, has been a baseball announcer and, this past year, wrote, co-produced and starred in a movie (Reunion 108). Billy and I are facebook friends (through a mutual acquaintance). And, though we have never met, we have discussed/argued about politics in that forum – no problem at all finding disagreements since Billy...
This blog entry is for anyone who is still gullible enough to believe anything lois “liar” lerner says, or that she was in any way neutral. lerner, you may recall, headed the IRS\’s tax exempt division when, as a matter of course, organizations seeking 501(c)4 tax exempt status, which had names suggesting opposition to President Obama, were put in limbo for years while...
While Israel and hamas are in the final period of a 12 hour cease fire, I thought you might be interested in reading this, compiled from “The Israel Project”: IsraeliHebrew – and English – language media outlets reported earlyFriday that Hamas\’s offensive tunnel network – which is now knownto have been composed of over two dozen...
As I type this, President Obama is winding up a “summit” of sorts with the Presidents of Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala – after which there will be a press conference. If Mr. Obama is at all serious about maintaining the integrity of our borders, he has told them to immediately stop the flow of illegal aliens across those borders – especially Mexico, which the...
For the first time in months (and maybe the 2nd or 3rd time overall), I watched a small portion of Chuck Todd\’s “The Daily Rundown” show on (where else?) MSNBC. Those few moments vividly reminded me of why I have so little regard for Chuck Todd. Todd was doing a segment on the flood of illegal aliens coming across our borders from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and who...
Ted Cruz is a United States Senator. While at Princeton University, he won a raft of awards for his debating talents. Mr. Cruz graduated Princeton cum laude, and then graduated Harvard Law School magna cum laude. Alan Dershowitz – certainly no fan of Mr. Cruz\’s politics – characterized him as “off the charts brilliant”. So why would I ask...
Last week I blogged about a New York Times editorial which, unlike its strongly slanted coverage of the Israel-hamas conflict, provided an honest assessment of how the conflict came to be and who was doing what. Here is its last paragraph: Can we possibly hope that, after many years of being far more critical of Israel than of the people who are committed, in writing, to vaporize the country and...
Last week I blogged about a Philadelphia woman named Shaneen Allen, and the fact that she was facing years in prison for making an honest, unintended mistake – being in possesion of a gun she legally obtained in Pennsylvania when driving in New Jersey which, unbeknownst to her, does not recognize the Pennsylvania license. To refresh your memory, when Ms. Allen, a single...
Today\’s quote – and if he really said this, it is beyond incredible – comes to us from Secretary Of State John Kerry. Kerry made a shiva (condolence) call on the family of Max Steinberg, a 24 year old Woodland Hills, California native who joined the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and was killed in action last week. According to the Los Angeles Jewish...
There is a terrific editorial about the Israel-hamas conflict in today\’s Washington Post. I usually would post key excerpts and a link…but since I cannot find even one word to leave out, here it is in its entirety: TheU.S. should push for the disarming of Hamas in Gaza-Israel cease-fire THEDISTINGUISHING feature of the latest war between Israel and Hamas...
In 2009, when hundreds of thousands were marching for freedom in Tehran and other Iranian cities, President Obama declined to speak out, on the grounds that it was another country\’s internal affairs – a position which reversed 180 degrees when Israel announced it was building a few hundred residential housing units in Jerusalem (if you\’re wondering how, at this point...
