HILLARY CLINTON’S EMAILS

This story is so big that even the usually Hillary-loving New York Times, and the Today Show – which usually does just about everything short of picking out furniture with Hillary Clinton – had to make it a lead story today. Here are the first two paragraphs of Michael S. Schmidt’s Page 1 article: Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct...

Ever the optimist, I am putting up another demonstration of why the Lost Tribe (i.e. Jews, and non-Jews who support Israel, but reflexively support Obama and Democrats anyway) should start making demands that their party of choice go back to what it was, or they will move on. The latest evidence?  A CBS News poll that was conducted in late February, in which respondents were asked if...

ANOTHER HEADS-UP FOR THE LOST TRIBE

IRAN AND NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION

A quick point to be made here: Now we are getting indications from Arab states, which are – understandably – scared excrement-less of Iran going nuclear, indicating that if a “deal” is cut which allows Iran to continue its nuclear program, they will assume Iran is moving ahead with nuclear weapon capability…and quickly start nuclear programs of their own. Maybe...

THE PARAGRAPHS OF THE DAY

The Paragraphs Of The Day – usually it’s just one, but today there are two – come from today’s Washington Examiner editorial which decries the obvious dislike (or a lot worse) that President Obama holds not just for Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, but for Israel itself. The editorial is excellent, and I urge you to use the above link to read every...

BLOW BLOWING HARD BASED ON SOFT INFORMATION

New York Times Op-Ed columnist Charles Blow is fun to read.  His stock in trade, these days, is picking up on poll data (from the polls which have results he likes), posting the data in huge print, and writing colmns which make conclusions based on those poll data. His latest column is about CPAC – the Conservative Political Action Committee – and its just-ended convention. Use the...

MCCAIN ON KERRY – AND OBAMA

John McCain was on MSNBC this weekend…and I suspect he spun a few heads with his remarks about John Kerry. As any regular reader of this blog knows, I have cited Kerry many times for being in public office as long as he has without any discernible accomplishments.  Sadly (though predictably), this has continued with his tenure as Secretary Of State. I did not watch the interview.  But...

Jewish organizations in the USA. I used to have great regard for them, and felt they performed important, even vital, service for Jewry in the USA and around the world. I knew that virtually all of them were partisan Democrat organizations.  But that made sense, since Democrats, far more than Republicans, were fully supportive of equality for Jews in the USA and for...

WHY I HAVE SO LITTLE REGARD FOR JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS IN THE USA

Jewish organizations in the USA. I used to have great regard for them, and felt they performed important, even vital, service for Jewry in the USA and around the world. I knew that virtually all of them were partisan Democrat organizations.  But that made sense, since Democrats, far more than Republicans, were fully supportive of equality for Jews in the USA and for Israel.
