Rich Lowry is usually a good read. But he has outdone himself with his latest column, which lays bare the racism and sexism being employed to promote Loretta Lynch’s confirmation vote, to replace eric holder as Attorney General. Lowry points out – correctly – that racism and sexism are being used as tools by at least some of the people who support her. In this regard, he...
As you may be aware, President Obama has now floated the idea of “mandatory voting” – i.e. all citizens must vote regardless of whether they want to and regardless of what they do or do not know about what they\’re voting for. Let me explain how this will work: Political operative: “Are you voting today” Non-voter: “Uh...

Silly me. I thought Barack Obama spent over 6 years as President blaming every economic failure on George Bush (while taking full credit for every “success”, few and modest though they have been). But apparently I was wrong No less an authority than President Obama has told me so. During a town hall meeting at Cleveland’s City Club today, Mr. Obama was asked what, if...

This is a picture of a community center in Haifa, Israel. That\’s quite a version of apartheid they have going over there. Oh, one other thing: Haifa has numerous numerous mixed neighborhoods of Jews and Arabs. Try and find one in an Arab country….then recall that most Arab countries forcibly removed their Jews decades ago and are not inviting...

I wish I were making this up. But I’m not: From the Times Of Israel (and numerous other sources): An annual report delivered recently to the US Senate by James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, removed Iran and Hezbollah from its list of terrorism threats, after years in which they featured in similar reports. The unclassified version of the Worldwide Threat Assessment of...

Today\’s quote comes to us from President Barack Obama — through David Simas, one of his aides. Here is what Simas was sent out to say about the Israeli election, which incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his party won handily despite Mr. Obama\’s herculean efforts to defeat him: “We want to congratulate the Israeli people for the democratic process for...

Here are the first two paragraphs of Paul Mirengoff\’s article on the Netanyahu victory… Asa bonus to Benjamin Netanyahu\’s unexpected victory in Israel\’selection, we are treated to the public gnashingof teeth by the American left. For example, DavidAxelrod tweeted: “Tightness of exits in Israel suggests Bibi’\’sshameful 11th hour demagoguery may have...
It is 9:22 AM. As I type this, WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil is trading at $42.31 a barrel. A couple of weeks ago, when oil dropped below $45 a barrel, gas prices fell to the $1.70-1.75 a gallon range. Then, when oil kicked back up to the low $50\’s, gas jumped to well over $2 a gallon. Now oil is $2.50 lower than the lowest we saw weeks ago. So...

This is for the amazingly ill-informed people who actually believe that Israel is an “apartheid state”. With all the attention being paid to Benjamin Netanyahu’s victory, it would be a shame if another significant result of the Israeli national elections got lost in the haze. The Arab presence in Israel’s Knesset (Parliament) grew from 12 members to 17. That’s...
