They played right into my hands: they let me know they exist!
2007-06-16 19:56:00
About three months ago, I wrote on my comics blog that I was appalled that actress Kirsten Dunst was glorifying drugs. But that's not really what bothered me: more precisely, what did bother me was that it sounded as though she were insulting her fellow Americans, myself included, behind their backs.A few days later, three or four other sites, including a ludicrous, pro-drug site called Drug War Rant, run by a strange man named Peter Guither, whose name sounds German, took a swipe at the post, and a couple of the people there came over to argue/quarrel (only three of the comments there besides my own are by people on my side). Wow, to think that moonbats could be that emotionally frail, even more than what the drugs they may be chomping on could cause! If I got on their nerves, I'm overjoyed. Yippee! And with that, we begin what could be called a "no holds barred" post.For example, get a load of just how loathsome little Mr. Guither looks in the picture on the side in this profile...

Hamastan is here
2007-06-15 17:07:00
After the going-ons of the past few days, this shouldn't be a surprise (H/T: Hot Air). Naturally, the MSM, in this case, the Boston Globe, would rather put the blame on Israel than admit that Fatah is as much a terrorist organization as Hamas is, and even pays worship to Yasir Arafat (Hat tip: Newsbusters and Gateway Pundit). Look at the bizarre playing both ends against middle tactic they deploy here:The Hamas campaign to eradicate Fatah from Gaza is certainly not the sole cause of Gazans' misery. They long suffered from Israel's suffocating occupation, and then from Ariel Sharon's foolishly unilateral withdrawal in 2005, a move that allowed Hamas to bid for power with the misleading claim that its rockets and suicide bombings had driven Israeli soldiers and settlers out of Gaza. Gazans were victimized as well by the corruption and misrule of Yasser Arafat's Fatah cronies.They wanted Sharon, a cold-hearted man unto his own nation, to withdraw from Gaza and then they say this? ...

Is the Hamas taking over the Gaza strip?
2007-06-14 10:32:00
It sure does look that way now. I dislike how the AP starts off here:GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Hamas fighters launched a fierce offensive on Gaza City Wednesday, firing mortars and rockets at Fatah's main security bases and the president's compound as the Islamic group appeared close to taking control of the entire Gaza Strip .This reeks of sensationalism, and only does more to imply that the AP is on the terrorists' side.

Peres gets elected for first time in his political career
2007-06-13 19:35:00
It's sad, but that's what happened. Though as they say here:Even Peres's victory, practically his first in public electoral life, was thus tainted by the fact that he did not win outright; his opponents merely withdrew. In accordance with the election rules, Peres was the sole candidate in the second round, and the 120 MKs were asked to vote "for" or "against."As much as one would like to see this as a good thing that Peres is out of the Knesset, it's still sad, because truly, he didn't deserve it.Did the Shas party vote for him? Well now, that could really be held against them, also because their spiritual adviser, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, had been visited by members of a group representing victims of terror or soldiers who'd been kidnapped in Lebanon, and this is how he treats them!

Tom Tancredo's new campaign ad
2007-06-13 19:31:00
Sen. Tancredo 's got an interesting idea for a campaign ad, and what to compare the illegal immigration issue to: the Terminator!I don't know if Tanc is an avid moviegoer, but maybe there's something to it. And cheesy as James Cameron's movie might look to some people today, it's still pretty clever how they made use of it, and I do hope it helps in the campaign against the illegal invasion.Via Hot Air.

Legislation to prevent criminals from buying guns at ease
2007-06-13 19:08:00
The House today passed a law for better control to keep criminals from buying guns:WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Wednesday passed what could become the first major federal gun control law in over a decade, spurred by the Virginia Tech campus killings and buttressed by National Rifle Association help.The bill, which was passed on a voice vote, would improve state reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to stop gun purchases by people, including criminals and those adjudicated as mentally ill, who are prohibited from possessing firearms.Seung-Hui Cho, who in April killed 32 students and faculty at Virginia Tech before taking his own life, had been ordered to undergo outpatient mental health treatment and should have been barred from buying two guns he used in the rampage. But the state of Virginia had never forwarded this information to the national background check system.It's certainly time already to start keeping a proper eye on dangerous characters and t...

CAIR loses support as the Feds finger them for their crimes
2007-06-10 18:13:00
Patrick Poole reports in Front Page Magazine on the new development where CAIR now finds themselves cited as unindicted co-conspirators in terrorism funding.As I reported recently here at FrontPage (?CAIR by the Numbers?), CAIR?s membership and financial support have dropped dramatically based on data obtained from the organization?s IRS Form 990s. In 2005 (the most recent data publicly available), I estimated that CAIR membership had dropped to approximately 2,615 and their financial support cut by 23 percent from just the previous year. These new legal developments, however, may threaten the very existence of the group, as many supporters may grow fearful of being indirectly connected to terrorism and terrorist financing through their association with CAIR.It turns out that even some Muslims in America are abandoning them as the news becomes more clear. Loss of support, in Congress and other places, would certainly help bring them down, but an actual indictment would also be quite...

Syrian attitudes towards Jews and Israel
2007-06-08 13:20:00
The JTA was able to send a reporter to Syria recently, where local attitudes towards Jews and Isra el seem quite odd. On the one hand, they actually respect the very few Jews left living there, ditto their religion (or so it would seem). On the other hand, their opinions on Israel are more revealingly hostile.Residents of Aleppo, asked for directions to the Harat al-Yahud, the former Jewish quarter, pointed the way without a hint of hostility. In fact, a sign in Arabic at the entrance to the abandoned Joab Ben Zeruiah synagogue warns against dumping trash "in front of this holy place of worship."But the attitude changes on Israel."Israel is one thing, and Jews are something else,? Mahmoud Sharif, an English-speaking tour guide, told JTA in Aleppo. "We respect the Jewish religion and consider it one of God's religions, but we don't accept Israel."So he says. The impression one gets from this is that Syrians ostensibly respect Jews/Israelis and their religion, but hate the Israel. Bu...

Shamnesty bill fails

But look at what the AP chose to call this:WASHINGTON (AP) - A broad immigration bill to legalize millions of people in the U.S. unlawfully suffered a stunning setback in the Senate Thursday, costing President Bush perhaps his best opportunity to win a top domestic priority.Um, excuse me?

Dubya downplays Russia's potential threat

President Bush has been downplaying any threat Russia's Vladimir Putin could be to the rest of Europe . But really, what does he know, and should he be speaking for any concerned in Europe?In this article, he says:HEILIGENDAMM, Germany (AP) - President Bush on Wednesday discounted Vladimir Putin's threat to retarget missiles on Europe, saying "Russia's not going to attack Europe."Bush, in an interview with The Associated Press and other reporters, said no U.S. military response was required after Putin warned that Russia would take steps in response to a U.S. missile shield that would be deployed in Poland and the Czech Republic."Russia is not an enemy," Bush said, seeking not to inflame a heated exchange of rhetoric between Washington and Moscow. "There needs to be no military response because we're not at war with Russia. ... Russia is not a threat. Nor is the missile defense we're proposing a threat to Russia."I don't think that's getting anywhere, or answers anything at al...

Muhammed is one of the top five boys' names in Britain?
2007-06-07 10:19:00
There are many scary questions to be found in this news, the leading one being just what kind of parents are naming their sons after this 7th century demon? Mohammed will likely become the most popular name for baby boys in Britain by the end of the year, The Times reported on Wednesday, citing government data.Though official records from the Office for National Statistics list the spelling Mohammed 23rd in its yearly analysis of the top 3,000 names given to children, when all the different spellings of the name are taken into account, it ranks second, only behind Jack, according to The Times.There are various different spellings of the name because when it is transliterated into English from Arabic, families spell it as closely to their own pronunciations as possible.In total, 5,991 baby boys were given some version of the name Mohammed, with 6,928 baby boys named Jack.Thomas was third with 5,921 names, with Joshua and Oliver rounding out the top five.According to The Times, if the...

Four in Jordan charged with arms smuggling to Israel
2007-06-06 22:53:00
In Jordan , four men have been charged with arms and drug smuggling:Jordan's military prosecutors charged four men with smuggling heroin and weapons into Isra el and the West Bank across the Dead Sea for trade purposes, according to an indictment made available Wednesday.Two of the suspects, identified as Yousef M., 23, and Ahmed S., 23, are in police custody. Two others, identified as Khaled Rashaydeh and his brother Ali - both Palestinian - are at large and are to be tried in absentia unless they surrender to police within ten days, the document said.According to the charges, Yousef and Ahmed had agreed to hide the drugs and weapons on the Jordanian shore of the Dead Sea under a tree. The cargo was loaded on a boat which Khaled was to take to the Israeli side.But an army patrol in the area uncovered the boat with part of the shipment as Khaled fled. The army confiscated the drugs, including more than four kilograms of heroin, several machine guns and ammunition. Yousef was arrested...

Neo-nazi "pranksters" in NJ commit bizarre offense

Seldom have I ever read news as disgusting as this:A four-foot swastika formed by 17 neatly arranged volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica was found in the parking lot of Bnai Keshet, the Reconstructionist synagogue in Montclair. ...Fred Glicksman, the synagogue's administrator, surmised that the incident occurred after 11 o'clock Sunday night, when zoning laws require that the synagogue turn off the lights that illuminate the parking lot.That could explain how the diablos were able to go about doing the filthy deed without being noticed at ease. I think something's going to have to be done about these stupid "zoning laws", which may hinder the ability to spot criminals at work at ease.This incident is truly disgusting.

Shas shouldn't be supporting Peres as a presidential candidate
2007-06-06 16:52:00
Of course nothing is clear, and you don't usually know what the result will be until the end, but with the presidential election for Israel coming up in about a week, there are plenty of sources that are pressuring the Shas party and its spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef not to support Shimon Peres for president (and for those not sure, in Israel the president is chosen by the Knesset), with good reason:(IsraelNN.com) The [12] Shas MKs, who are currently slated to vote for Shimon Peres, are likely to tip the scales in favor of Peres in next week's Presidential race. Heavy pressure is being brought to bear from various directions on Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef to change his mind and enable his party MKs to vote according to their own preference - and those of their voters.At the same time, other groups, fearing that Peres will be elected President of Israel by the Knesset next week, are putting pressure on Rabbi Yosef to withdraw his support for Peres.

Fourth suspect in JFK plot arrested in Trinidad
2007-06-06 06:02:00
In the previous post I'd done on this, I accidentally said that four of the suspects in the plot to bomb JFK's fuel line were arrested, when it was actually 3 out of 4. Now, the fourth suspect has been caught in Trinidad -Tobago, as well as two more suspects:PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) - A fourth suspect in an alleged plot to attack New York's John F. Kennedy Airport surrendered Tuesday in Trinidad as some U.S. authorities raised concerns that deep social inequality in the Caribbean could make the islands a fertile recruiting ground for radical Islam.On that, I'd like to say that it's not that at all; it's allowing the Religion of Peace to run loose on the isle that could make it a breeding ground for extremism.Abdel Nur, a Guyanese national accused of seeking support for the alleged plot from the leader of a radical Muslim group in Trinidad, smiled as he turned himself in at a police station outside the capital Port-of-Spain.The details emerging about Nur and the other susp...

Islamic groups in US named in Hamas funding case
2007-06-04 13:39:00
An important development in the investigation of Hamas funders has come to light. And yep, you guessed it, CAIR is among those cited in the report: Federal prosecutors have named three prominent Islamic organizations in America as participants in an alleged criminal conspiracy to support a Palestinian Arab terrorist group, Hamas.Prosecutors applied the label of "unindicted co-conspirator" to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, and the North American Islamic Trust in connection with a trial planned in Texas next month for five officials of a defunct charity, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development.While the foundation was charged in the case, which was filed in 2004, none of the other groups was. However, the co-conspirator designation could be a blow to the credibility of the national Islamic organizations, which often work hand-in-hand with government officials engaged in outreach to the Muslim community.A court filing by the...

Britain's college boycott

I wish I could've addressed this sooner, but here's what I have to say for now: not that I was so interested in doing business with such a snide bunch to begin with! And why should Israel 's colleges have to spend any time with them if they're going to be that way?And on that note, let me point to the following article on YnetNews, which says that the boycott is actually a blessing in disguise. Yes, indeed it is. Because if that's how they're going to go about their business and be enemies with Israel, why should we have to feel bothered? Any "friend" who would do such a thing is not a friend at all, and no relations with them need be maintained.

Four arrested in plot to bomb fuel lines at JFK airport
2007-06-02 22:48:00
A plot to potentially destroy one of New York's leading airports has been thwarted:NEW YORK (AP) - A suspected terrorist cell planned a "chilling" attack to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport , kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through populous residential neighborhoods, authorities said Saturday.Three men were arrested and one was being sought in Trinidad on Saturday. In an indictment charging the four men, one of them is quoted as saying the foiled plot would "cause greater destruction than in the Sept. 11 attacks," destroying the airport, killing several thousand people and destroying parts of Queens, where the line runs underground.One of the suspects, Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen native to Guyana and former JFK employee, said the airport was a symbol that would put "the whole country in mourning.""It's like you can kill the man twice," Defreitas said, according to the indictment.The plot never...

The Democrats, while not to be overestimated, have still shown that they're willing to support moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem (via Israpundit).WASHINGTON ? The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote next week on a resolution calling for President Bush to move the American Embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, strengthening Israel's position against recurring diplomatic efforts to take away its capital.The resolution, which passed the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on May 23, commemorates the 40th anniversary of Israel's victory in the Six Day War that unified Jerusalem. It also calls on Mr. Bush to adhere to the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, which authorized the funds to begin moving the embassy and declared that it was American policy to recognize the city as the capital of the Jewish state.The House resolution, scheduled for a floor vote on Tuesday, "reiterates its commitment to the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 and calls upon the Preside...

Important show of justice: police brutality convicted

This is something that I wrote about two years ago, about an Israel i police offier who committed an act of violence against a right-wing protestor during the disengagement monstrosity, totally out of line in any democratic society.

The horror story the MSM still won't tell us about

A subject still very worthy of discussion is the savage murder of Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian, a white couple who were murdered by a black gang in Knoxville, Tennessee. Michelle Malkin did a podcast about it a few weeks ago (read also here for interviews with the victims' families), a most horrific case that the MSM has been largely silent about, apparently because the perpetrators of the cannibalistic crime were black.It's definitely atrocious that the MSM will otherwise turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to a crime based on racial background. This of course is the very same MSM that at the same time will not even stand up for the blacks in Sudan who've been murdered and enslaved by Islamic supremacists, including the janjaweed terrorist militias. Something tells me that if a gang of [white?] Muslims in America had pulled a crime like this against a black couple, that the MSM would turn in the favor of the Muslims, which would just show how truly tilted towards evil th...
