Jim Clancy – Israel-hating Jim Clancy – has been a mainstay on CNN for 34 years. Not any more. The last straw (and before we compliment CNN for its action, remember again that it took 34 years) was when, after a series of tweets back and forth on the Charlie Hebdo attack (which you can read here), Clancy tweeted this to an apparently Jewish critic of his comments: “Geta grip...
Yesterday President Obama conducted a press conference. It lasted almost an hour. The press conference took place just five days after Mr. Obama did not attend the march against terrorism in Paris and Attorney General, eric holder – who was in Paris at the time – didn\’t show up at it either, which has caused an international furor. The number of...
In its next session (this spring), the United States Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of banning same-sex marriages. Since the Supreme Court has occasionally invented federal jurisdiction which is not there (Roe V Wade comes to mind) there are no guarantees that a strict reading of the constitution is going to be meaningful here. But if this court works entirely...
This can\’t be real. I must be dreaming. Did Secretary of State John Kerry actually go to Paris to make amends for President Obama\’s monumentally either stupid or purposeful blunder in not attending Sunday\’s march against terrorism, thinking that a has-been singer, performing a 44 year old whiny song most Parisians probably never even heard of...
While we\’re on the subject of Black performers/directors and Oscar nominations, I am taking this opportunity to comment on George Clooney\’s smug Oscar acceptance speech of 2006 (Best Supporting Actor, for “Syriana”), in which he said this: …I would say that, you know, we are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while, I think. It\’s...
Are the Academy Awards racist? After all, not one Black actor or actress was nominated this year – not even David Oyelowo who, according to most critics, did a stellar job of portraying Martin Luther King Jr. in “Selma”. Nor “Selma” itself, which did receive a nomination for best picture, but no nomination for its director, Ava...
Was Barack Obama a Muslim? When did he convert? Is his connection to Islam why he will not identify Islamic terrorists for who they are? Does it explain his obvious animosity toward Israel? To even ask this question, let alone attempt to answer it, is to be called a mouth-breathing lunatic and a lot worse, by a great many people who don\’t have the...
My son just called. He was driving to the Lincoln Tunnel, and saw one of those huge billboards – which reads as follows: HEY NEW YORK TIMES YOUR BIAS IS SHOWING. Stop The Anti-Israel Reporting I wish I could give that billboard an argument, but I can\’t. Not now, and not for many years. The Times – Jewish owned, by the way – has, for...
Did you know that Black lives matter so much that protesters disrupted rush hour traffic on Rte I93 into Boston today? You may wonder what disrupting traffic on a busy highway during a heavy traffic period has to do with Black lives mattering. If so, welcome to the club. Excerpted from Steve Cooper\’s article at WHDH Channel 7, NBC\’s Boston affiliate: Protesters severely...
Today\’s quote comes to us not from one person, but from nine of them. First the quote (which comes from a letter they sent to Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah); then the source: “We,the undersigned members of the Black Leadership Forum, write to urgeyou to postpone introduction of your employer sanctions repeallegislation until we have had an opportunity to report to you what webelieve...
On October 8th of last year, less than a month before the midterm elections, CBS News issued a poll. Here is how I described it in a blog I wrote the next day: Its new poll came out – showing that, less than a month before the midterm elections, Democrats are in disastrous shape, and – if the poll bears out on election day – will get their clocks...
I have a question about the potential presidential runs of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul. Forgetting their political stands, if we are suffering through eight years of Barack Obama – who became President with less than one term in the senate, who never had a day\’s executive experience in his life and had to learn as he went (something it doesn\’t appear even...
Excerpted from Josh Feldman\’s (short, and incomplete) piece at mediaite.com: MayorBillde Blasiosaid at a press conference today he has no plans to apologize to theNYPD for his “fundamental beliefs,” but is always willing to cometogether with officers to address their issues. This comes just a dayafter reports of anall-out brawl at a meeting of one of the major NYPD unions...
Bruce Thornton, writing for frontpagemag.com, is an angry man. He is angry at the hypocrisy of the Paris march, on an number of different levels – all of which I invite you to read about by clicking here. He starts with President Obama, and then goes on from there – as you can see by reading his first paragraph: Commentatorson both the left and the right are slamming...
Today\’s quote comes to us from – ratings-wise – a nearly anonymous source: Chris Hayes, who offers up his reliably hard-left ideology weekday evenings at (where else?) MSNBC. This is what Mr. Hayes had to say about the French\’s resolve to fight terrorism – as exemplified by its lower house voting 488-1 to increase air strikes on ISIS: “Whenwe see the...
