Brazil said it will fine YouTube owner Google daily, until and unless it removes the anti-Mohammed video trailer for “Innocence of Muslims.” In a completely separate story, Brazil detained the Brazilian chief of Google, after a judge said that videos it hosted violated local Brazilian local election laws. But the Brazilian fines over the anti-Mohammed video were apparently not sensationalistic enough for FOX News, so it lied and posted a headline that screams, “Brazil Detains Google Chief over anti-Islam YouTube Clip,” which is a complete falsehood. In fact, the Google exec, Fabio Jose Silva Coelho, has since been released from Brazilian custody, and the anti-Mohammed trailer remains up in Brazil (though YouTube was blacked out for 24 hours). The fine and the detention were two separate actions, and FOX News knows better, but just like the liberal mainstream media, the “conservative” mainstream media lie whenever they feel like it.

This is why you can trust FOX News–which also called Egypt, “America’s closest ally in the Middle East,” and called Israel’s capital, “Occupied East Jerusalem,” among other FOX News lies against Israel–as much as you can trust, MSNBC, CNN, and Al-Jazeera. The fine of $5,000 per day because of the anti-Mohammed video is enough of an outrage. But FOX News lied to make it a bigger story. Fair and balanced? Not even close. They distort, you decide. Sadly, as with the viewers of MSNBC, CNN, and Al-Jazeera, the FOX News viewers can be characterized as, “FOX News claims, you blindly ingest, no questions asked.”

Tonight, the Jewish fast day of Yom Kippur begins at sundown (and ends at nightfall on Wednesday Night). It’s a day of atonement for our sins and a day full of prayer to G-d*, asking for forgiveness and a good year.

Yom Kippur is one of the holiest Jewish holidays, at the end of which we believe our fate for the next year is “sealed” by G-d. We believe that on Rosh HaShanah, that fate is written by Him, and on Yom Kippur, he issues his final Judgment. This is Judgment Day. Read the rest of this entry »

Can we please send Sarah Silverman (and her grandmother, too) for a vacation at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi?

Tonight, Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, begins, and Jews are supposed to have asked forgiveness from those they’ve slighted. Silverman needs to ask forgiveness (but she won’t) from the entire Jewish people for invoking our religion in each of her disgusting, pro-Obama videos produced by a far-left Super PAC that also pretends to be Jewish. Below is her latest lowlife video screed, which, sadly, was last week’s top political video on YouTube. Each time she invokes my religion, remember that a Jewish American with far more class and at least 100 more IQ points, Sheldon Adelson, has already spent $70 million to get Romney and other Republicans elected and has pledged to spend up to $100 million. For that “crime,” he’s also been a target of Silverman’s sickening crap. This sleazebagette, Silverman, is what I call a VaJINO – a female Jew In Name Only. She does not speak for me. And many of us Jews find her beyond embarrassing.

Celebrity Chef Mario Batali owns 19 restaurants and hosts ABC’s “The Chew.” He’s a multi-millionaire, has vacation homes, and is a bona fide member of the One Percent–the top one percent of Americans in income and assets against whom the Occupy crowd pretends to rail. And yet Batali, whose nine restaurants in New York are mostly very expensive and rely on Wall Streeters and other finance industry execs for customers, is a big supporter of the Occupy movement, Occupy Wall Street, and Barack Obama. He sent some meals to the Occupy Wall Streeters camping out in New York’s Zuccotti Park. Yes, he’s a hypocrite. And, he’s even more of a hypocrite and a fraud when you consider the details of the lawsuit Batali just settled with the waitstaff at one of his very expensive restaurants. There must have been some merit to the allegations, since he paid $1.15 million to settle the suit. Another suit against him, with similar allegations, settled for much more.

Celebrity chef and restaurateur Mario Batali today agreed with his partners to pay $1.15 million to 31 workers at Del Posto, settling a 2010 labor dispute at his most expensive New York restaurant.

The agreement resolves claims alleging misappropriation of tips, racial discrimination, spread of hours pay, lost minimum wage and overtime, according to a joint statement from Del Posto’s owners and Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York (ROC-NY), a nonprofit advocacy group for the workers. . . .

Del Posto charges $115 for its five-course dinner menu, and $145 for its tasting menu. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the less-reported facts about the tape secretly made of Mitt Romney at a private fundraiser, is that he said on the tape that he would not go on ABC’s “The View” or “Saturday Night Live” (he said SNL is “not Presidential”–bingo! finally someone gets it, or so I thought). But, sadly, Romney’s reasoning about the annoying “View” hags has nothing to do with men running for Prez degrading themselves and the country by appearing on these lowlife talk shows. And he’s already flip-flopped on the issue (as he does with illegal immigration, ObamaRomneyCare, and everything else), buckling under to five far-left, anti-male, whining yentas on a sleazy talk show.

The Only Presidential Candidates Who Go On “The View” are Yutzes . . .

The appearances of Presidential candidates on daytime talk shows are something I’ve criticized, ever since the trend began in 2000, when both Al Gore and George W. Bush appeared on daytime talk shows, including Oprah. Then, the Bushes and the Kerrys appeared on Dr. Phil, even more disgusting and degrading to the Presidency. I thought, “Finally! Mitt Romney has some cojones and some dignity.” And, then, I read on, and I was wrong. Plus, now, Romney has reversed course, and after cajoling by “The View” and its faux-conservative, genuine airhead, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Romney will be on this crappy show in October, which will win him exactly zero votes and is a waste of time. I also see Romney has thrown out any concern with appearing “unpresidential” by appearing on “Live With Kelly & Michael” and telling us that he wears “as little as possible” in bed and how he admires “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki. Didn’t he learn anything from Bill Clinton’s “boxers or briefs” responses? Does he want to be President so badly that he’ll lower himself to any level?

And as for “The View,” Romney’s initial reluctance to go on that crappy show is hypocritical, since he’s already appeared on the show and pandered to the hags. It also appears cowardly, since his concern is not that it’s unpresidential, but that the “women” on the show are “sharp-tongued.”

[Romney] said “The View,” ABC’s daytime talker, “is fine.” But then, appearing to think better of that, Romney said “The View” is “high-risk, because, of the five women on it, only one is conservative, and four are sharp-tongued and not conservative.” Read the rest of this entry »

Chris Stevens and three others died in Libya because Stevens didn’t want to offend Muslims by having adequate security. Putz.

The attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and the murder of the U.S. Ambassador and three others is the fault not only of Hillary Clinton’s State Department–which was responsible for security and screwed it up big-time–but also the fault of Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The comedy of errors began with him, as he felt that adequate security might offend the savage Muslims he helped put into power. Stevens wanted to avoid the appearance of a “militarized U.S. presence” and instead, show “faith” in Libya’s newly installed animals. Whatta moron! It’s truly disgusting. Three lives other than his own paid the ultimate price for Stevens’ political correctness.

They Were Murdered Because . . .

. . . This Dhimmi Idiot Didn’t Want to Offend Muslims w/ Adequate Security

Current and former officials said the security choices in Benghazi reflected efforts by Mr. Stevens to maintain a low-profile security posture and show faith in Libya’s new leaders, despite questions about their ability to rein in heavily armed bands of militants. Officials say Mr. Stevens personally advised against having Marines posted at the embassy in Tripoli, apparently to avoid a militarized U.S. presence.

The security plan for the consulate also reflected confidence Mr. Stevens felt in a city where he worked for months with rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi’s rule. State Department officials said he didn’t consult with Washington before traveling to Benghazi, located in an area that has become notorious for its volatile mix of Islamist militancy and heavy weaponry.

On Friday, the Space Shuttle Endeavor made its final landing in Los Angeles, and on October 12th, it will be transported on a a two-day journey across the boulevards of Inglewood and Los Angeles to its new home at the California Science Center. But since the boulevards and streets of those cities are tree-lined and the Space Shuttle has a long wingspan, 400 trees will be cut down to make way for the shuttle. And the people of those cities–predominantly Black–are angry. I can understand their frustration.

If I were one of the people whose trees were cut down so that the Space Shuttle Endeavor could travel–wingspan intact–to its final destination at a museum, I’d be pretty angry. To me, that’s a government “taking” no different than the government seizing a woman’s home in Connecticut to make way for a development in Kelo v. City of New London. Yes, it’s a tree, not a house, but still, it’s big government taking from private individuals. You can bet that if the Space Shuttle went down the streets of Bel-Air or Beverly Hills, this would never happen. And maybe that’s why the Shuttle didn’t go that way. On the other hand, the elected Los Angeles and Ingleside officials are statist liberals who were put into power to do this stuff by the very people losing these trees. Read the rest of this entry »

Here are my reviews of the new movies debuting at theaters, this weekend. “Dredd” was not screened for critics, though I may go see it over the weekend and, if so, will post my review, next Friday. I am also posting my review of “The Possession,” which is almost a month old and wasn’t screened for critics. I was asked about it by so many readers that I decided to go see it for myself. *** UPDATE, 09/23/12: My Dredd review is below. ***

* “End of Watch“: I have mixed feelings about this cop buddy movie about two partners who work the beat of South Central Los Angeles. I don’t like Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena, and they are even more annoying together. Their characters are also annoying, conceited, and, at least with Gyllenhall, not nearly as smart as they think they are (Gyllenhaal has this problem in real life, too, so not much acting needed). The most likeable character in the movie is the Sarge (Frank Grillo), but the movie’s not about him. Read the rest of this entry »

The anti-American, Israel-boycotting Muslims who rule the United Arab Emirates aren’t stupid when it comes to immigration. In fact, they are smarter and more resolute than we are. First, they expelled all of the Shi’ites a/k/a Hezbollah/Iran supporters, after seeing what Shi’ite unrest has done throughout the Sunni world, whether it’s in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia’s Qatif Peninsula or President Bush’s Iran-backed Shi’ite “democracy” in Iraq. And, now, they are requiring that all those from Asian Muslim nations seeking tourist visas to the UAE must have a college degree. We, in the U.S., on the other hand, take every single Muslim extremist and uneducated moocher there is (not that a college degree means “educated” anymore–it just means someone lasted through four years of partying and wanton sex, but in other countries it actually means something).

Tourists from South Asian countries that export labour to the UAE will require a university degree to get a visa as the rich Gulf state fights an illegal influx, a newspaper reported Tuesday.

Electricians, pipe fitters, masons, farmers, drivers, tailors and cleaners from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Philippines are now banned from obtaining a tourist visa, Gulf News daily said citing a senior immigration official. Read the rest of this entry »

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and Hardee’s restaurants in Tripoli, Lebanon are owned by Muslim franchisees. So, I can’t shed a single tear over Muslims burning down the businesses of other Muslims to show their hatred of America. The moronism of Muslims is evident in this little display of what halal KFC chicken looks like: burnt to a crisp. In other news, Muslims just gave new meaning to the “Krispy” in Krispy Kreme (not to be confused with Chris ChrispieChreme, the halal Governor of New Jersey), when they burnt that down, too. I think they heard that these two Americans, Col. Harlan Sanders and Mr. Hardee made a movie against Mohammed, “Innocence of Muslim Fast Food Consumers.” Check out the videos below, and remember, these “peaceful” Muslims are the ones we keep telling Israel to make peace with. This ain’t about an alleged movie. It’s what Muslims do, movie or no movie.

From Heba Rach, a Lebanese Arab (who incorrectly blames this on the Lebanese government and who made the first video, above):

As I finished my lunch break and went back to my office, the Muslim salafists happened to just finish their weekly prayer at the mosque. I’ve been to numerous gatherings and huge events where crowds were uncountable and beyond what my vision field could contain, but today was simply a new level. I sat behind my desk to suddenly catch thousands of black shirted men with long beards and dark flags running towards me, and I then remembered that my office is just 10 meters away from the “infidel” American KFC.
