It\’s bad enough that George Clooney married an Israel-hater from an Israel-hating family. But did he have to spend the equivalent of $13,000,000 to do it? From Nick Squires\’ article at London\’s Daily Telegraph: GeorgeClooney\’s four-day wedding celebrations in Venice, which involvedpool-side cocktail parties, dinners in five-star hotels and a lavishwedding reception on...
How big a liar is Barack Obama? Here are the first three paragraphs of Peter Baker and Eric Schmitt\’s page 1 article in this morning\’s (usually Obama-loving) New York Times: Bylate last year, classified American intelligence reports painted anincreasingly ominous picture of a growing threat from Sunniextremists in Syria,according to senior intelligence and military...
Anyone who reads this blog knows that I am staunchly in favor of full gay rights, including marriage. To me, it is a simple issue of personal freedom – along with the fact that no one\’s sexual orientation is anyone\’s business but their own. That said, however, the following story absolutely disgusts me. Here it is, via excerpts from Kelsey Harkness\’s...
I watched a few minutes of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski\’s “Morning Joe” show today. Based on its heavily Democrat and leftward lean, I never expect much in the way of informed conversation from this show – that doesn\’t happen when one side predominates. But on any given day, you never know. I stopped watching while Scarborough...
A week and a half has passed since I wrote that “I do not bet on political campaigns. But if I did, I would lay odds on Mr. Roberts returning to the senate for a fourth term.” At that time, two relatively fresh polls had Roberts\’ competition, the Democrat-running-as-an-independent Greg Orman, up by 6% (Fox) and 5% (Rasmussen) respectively….which looked good for...
Here is Mr. Obama\’s explanation of why, since he became President, terrorism – which he has told us for years was “virtually decimated”, just a “jayvee squad”, and other similar kiss-off descriptions – has, in actuality, become stronger by far than it ever was in the past: “[Directorof National Intelligence James Clapper] has acknowledged...
Massive peaceful – repeat, peaceful – demonstrations in Hong Kong, demanding more freedom. Police, at least so far, not able to contain them. China\’s communist leaders have not yet figured out how to stop them – other than blacking out any news of freedom demonstrations on the mainland. This cannot last in this form for more than a short time. Something is...
I don\’t need a brilliant speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make me proud I am Jewish, proud to support Israel, and profoundly concerned about the rapid spread of radical Islam – with Iran being among its chief facilitators. But a lot of the world does need such a speech, to understand why people like me feel as we do. And Mr. Netanyahu gave exactly such a...
As I write this blog, Israel\’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is speaking before the UN. Many members pulled their delegations from the floor when he started. But as he talked about the danger of a nuclear Iran, the spread of ISIS, and Israel\’s herculean attempts to protect Gazan civilians from its bombing of hamas targets – which is certainly...
Paralepsis – a word that sounds like some kind of physical condition, doesn\’t it? But actually it is a rhetorical device, whereby someone tells you something he pretends not to be telling you (“Since unfounded charges have no place in my campaign, I will not discuss my opponent\’s alleged wife beating and gambling debts”). Here, excerpted from David...
Bruce Braley is an Iowa Democrat congressperson attempting to win the U. S. Senate seat currently held by retiring Tom Harkin. Braley has already made quite a splash with voters when, during a fundraiser held among a group of lawyers in Texas, he disdainfully insulted Iowa\’s long-time Republican incumbent Senator Charles Grassley as a “farmer”. His exact...
“Congratulations” to George Clooney on his marriage to amal allamuddin, a very attractive, very well educated, Israel hater of the first order – very much in keeping with many – if not most, if not all – of the rest of her family. Click here, here and here to see for yourself. Don\’t expect a wedding gift.
While the usual gang of idiots describes the beheading of a woman bya radicalized Islamic lunatic as “workplace violence” (one example is the ongoingly ridiculous Melissa Harris-Perry during today\’s show on – where else? MSNBC), I thought you might like to see apicture of alton nolen – formerly alton nolen (you\’ll understand why I say...
Derek Jeter was the Yankees designated hitter today, in Boston – because he asked that the last game he played at shortstop be in Yankee Stadium. In his second at bat, he hit a “Baltimore chop” – a ball bounced so high that the infielder could not make a play. It drove in a run. Manager Joe Girardi signaled to Jeter, asking if he wanted to...
Today\’s quote comes to us from left wing looney-tune Ana Marie Cox, who writes for Gentlemen\’s Quarterly (GQ). Ms. Cox seems to have difficulty finding a difference between conservative Christians and ISIS. Can\’t believe that could be true? Can\’t believe even a hard leftist could be so ridiculous? Well, here\’s her quote: “Soyou said a little...
