While other federal law enforcement agencies spent the day before 9/11 monitoring terrorist threats and what turned out to be the beginnings of coordinated Muslim attacks against our embassies around the world, top Homeland Security Investigators spent the day golfing, drinking, and partying with the “resigned,” scandalized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Suzanne Barr, who is accused of sexually harassing dozens of male ICE agents. Yup. She’s BAAAAACK!

DHS Chief Janet Napolitano & Flamboyant ICE Chief John (Moron) Morton: Their Favorite Sexually Harassing GalPal Suzy Barr is Back!

ICE Agents are aghast that Barr–the “former” top Homeland Security official, who “resigned” under fire after I broke the story of her sexual harassment of male agents–is apparently back in power, welcomed by Barack Obama’s top Homeland Security Officials. On September 10th, only a week after Barr allegedly resigned as Chief of Staff of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), she was welcomed by ICE Director John “Moron” Morton to an ICE Foundation golf fundraiser, making several top ICE officials wonder if she is truly out of the ICE picture. The event was attended by all of the top officials of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), as it is sponsored by all of ICE’s top contractors.

At last week’s ICE golf outing, sources say Barr arrived and was warmly greeted by ICE Chief Morton, as if she had never resigned. The sources also say that ICE agents in attendance, some of whom are potential witnesses against Barr in the supposed ICE Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigation of her sexual harassment, felt intimidated by her presence and that she lorded herself over them in the company and presence of ICE’s top officials and contractors. The agents found it ironic that Barr was welcome at the “2012 ICE Foundation Charity Golf Tournament to Help Fight Child Exploitation,” when she was involved in illegal adult exploitation of subordinates at ICE, according to an ongoing federal lawsuit by New York’s top Homeland Security cop and several affidavits from other ICE agents. They say that corporate sponsorships–which ran $1,000 to sponsor a hole and also included a foursome to golf–included an ICE official in each foursome and that Barr was in a foursome as if she were still an ICE official. (It’s also strange to use the term “foursome” in connection with Barr, given the many complaints about her sexual harassment of male ICE agents, especially since some allegations claim that several agents acquiesced to her demands and that their careers were advanced accordingly.)

On Thursday, CNN airhead Erin Burnett interviewed author Mitch Albom, who is now pimping his sappy, treacly new book, “The Time Keeper.” On the show, Burnett openly blamed “Judaism, Christianity” for the universally-MUSLIM attacks on and violence against U.S. Embassies around the world. And Albom, a typical liberal whitewasher of Islam, agreed with her, saying nothing in response to correct her (and he spent the last week whitewashing extremist Muslims who openly support Hezbollah and HAMAS as “peaceful”–more on that later in this post). Watch the disgusting exchange, starting at 3:48 into the video of Burnett’s “Valley Girl”-style interview (with apologies to Moon Unit Zappa and the other Valley Girls who definitely have higher IQs). And, if you watch the whole interview, note that Burnett, who here tries to appear deep and against materialism, is among the most materialistic women alive. Albom proudly posted this ridiculous exchange on his website, too. Clearly, he believes Judaism and Christianity are just as much to blame for the Muslim violence around the world last week (and every week).

Burnett: Um, you write about spiritual things but not from a religious perspective and you’ve described yourself as secular. Um, but the last few days we’ve seen all the deaths and the attacks have been thanks to, well, frankly, religion.

Albom: Yeah.

Burnett: Um, you know, Islam, Judaism, Christianity. How does your book apply to people whose most important fight is for religion? Killing for it, dying for it. Unnecessarily.

HUH? Name one Jewish or Christian attack in the last week-and-a-half that has anything to do with Judaism or Christianity. The attacks on U.S. Embassies around the world were committed by one religious group and one religious group only: MUSLIMS. But, hey, don’t let facts get in the way of their narrative that Islam is good and that the rest of us are morally equivalent to Islamic terrorists. This is not about religion. It’s about one particular religion. It’s about Islam, stupid. Read the rest of this entry »

While Muslims around the world were planning coordinated attacks on our U.S. Embassies around the world on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, Homeland Security’s top New England official, Bruce Foucart, was busy forcing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to attend Muslim sensitivity training. ICE agents were outraged that Foucart, Boston’s ICE Special Agent in Charge, was forcing them not to remember 3,000 Americans targeted for death by Muslims, but instead, to honor the religion that inspired the massacre. Last week, on September 10th, Foucart sent all of ICE’s New England agents e-mails (see below) telling them they are required to attend the course, “Improving Cultural Competence: Engaging and Building Relations with American Muslims.” (Note that American is merely an adjective. They are Muslims first, always, and only.) It’s mandatory.

You’d think that Americans learned plenty about Islam from the events of 9/11, the Fort Hood massacre, the attempted shoe bombing, underwear bombing, and Times Square bombing, the U.S.S. Cole, Khobar Towers, and Beirut Embassy and Marine barracks bombings, and the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran and hostage-taking for 444 days. And that’s not to mention Yasser Arafat’s brutal murder of Cleo Noel and George Curtis Moore, our two diplomats in Sudan (in which they were so badly beaten and tortured that authorities could not tell which of them was Black–at the time Moore was the highest ranking Black U.S. diplomat–and which was White). But not for Bruce Foucart, who thinks agents need to know the cuddly, tender, sensitive side of Islam (you know, the one we saw in the four dead bodies coming out of the U.S. Embassy in Libya, last week!).

Here is what rightfully disgusted ICE agents who work for Foucart are telling me:

On the eve of September 11th, an email was sent out to the employees and agents of the Boston Office of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the investigative arm of Homeland Security, making attendance mandatory for all employees and agents to attend “Improving Cultural Competence: Engaging and Building Relations with Muslims”. The Special Agent in Charge of the Boston office, Bruce Foucart, made the training mandatory and ordered this email sent out to all personnel.

The timing, tone and subject matter of this email couldn’t be more inappropriate considering several employees of this office were in New York City on 9/11 and intimately involved in the tragedy and recovery effort. Read the rest of this entry »

To my friends and readers: tonight at sundown, the Jewish holiday of Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, begins (it ends Tuesday Night). It is one of the two most important holidays in Judaism, with the other being Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. The holiday lasts for two days, so I will be out of live blog commission for the next two days. However, I’ve prepared a few posts in advance, which will go up in my absence–stuff you won’t read anywhere else but on this site. So, stay tuned. Below are a couple of my favorite pics (from my collection of Jewish-American military memorabilia) of Jewish-American soldiers in World War II at Rosh HaShanah services in 1944. Also, don’t miss the postcards I posted from Jewish-American soldiers serving in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II that I posted in the past and the patriotic postcard from Jewish-Americans praying for America and victory in World War I as well as a couple of postcards of Israeli soldiers wishing a Happy New Year.

Although it’s called a “New Year,” Rosh HaShanah is not a time for partying and the like that you normally associate with “New Year” celebrations. It’s an earnest and serious time in which we spend a good deal of the day in synagogue praying that G-d will forgive us for our sins and inscribe us in the Book of Life, inscribe us for a year of health and happiness, success, and peace. It begins what is known in Judaism as the Ten Days of Repentance in Judaism, which ends with Yom Kippur, when our fate is sealed. Read the rest of this entry »

Many readers have been sending me reports that murdered U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens was gay. The website Hillbuzz (a pro-Hillary Clinton/anti-Obama site) posted the news and photos, such as the one below, of Stevens with one of his alleged boyfriends–the boyfriend posted the pics on his Facebook page. I’m amazed at how many conservatives have e-mailed me and/or posted commentary elsewhere about how “inappropriate” it was for Barack Obama to send a gay man as a U.S. Ambassador to a Muslim country. Huh? Why should we give a crap what Muslims think about gays? And why should we pander to what they demand? Heck, if I were Prez, I’d send gays, strippers, and Playboy centerfolds as U.S. Ambassadors to every single Muslim nation (if I even sent any of these places ambassadors at all, since we know ambassadors are in these countries strictly to kiss the asses of Third World savages and pretend that they’re actually a civilization; oh, and to give them visas to come to America and disappear on American soil to do who knows what). Next, you’ll be telling me that it’s “inappropriate” to send Christians and women to these countries because Muslims hate them, too. And forget about the Jews. Are you kidding me? This is your excuse for why Muslims were right to murder this guy? (In other gay-related news in the everyday world of non-stop Muslim violence, gay porn star Tim Dax says he was duped into starring in “Innocence of Muslims,” the anti-Mohammed movie being used as a phony excuse for the Muslim violence that Muslims engage in, movie or no movie.)

I wonder if Stevens was openly gay, and I bet he was not, since we’ve heard little about it. I doubt the Muslims who murdered him had a clue about this guy. They only knew that he was the U.S. Ambassador. They didn’t know, for example, that he’d dedicated his life to putting Islamo-savages like this into power and wanted to be the first U.S. Ambassador in decades to Iran. They also probably had no clue that this far-left State Department careerist was very pro-Palestinian, very anti-Israel, and is now being mourned by P.L.O. terrorists. And they–the Muslims who murdered Stevens–probably hadn’t a clue that he was gay. And like most gays, he was moronically in support of the one culture around the world–ISLAM–that executes gays and severely oppresses the few gays that it doesn’t murder. Like most gays, he was against the one country and people in the Middle East that treats gays better than anywhere in the world, the one country and people that gives gays more rights than anywhere in the West: ISRAEL. Yup, Chris Stevens was a dhimmi member of what we call, “The Purple (or is that Lavender?) Jihad” . . . just like American Taliban John Walker Lindh’s dad. There’s a reason why they don’t call Benghazi, “Ben-gay-zi”: the cretins Chris Stevens championed to power made sharia the law of the land and homosexuality punishable by death–not even the sex acts, just the fact that someone is gay (even without being publicly so), is grounds for execution in Chris Stevens’ “new and improved” Libya.

What happens when you have a giant federal law enforcement agency–Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)–not allowed to enforce immigration law and deport illegal aliens? You have employees of that agency, who take that to mean that they can harbor illegal aliens. Hey, didn’t Obama tell this woman and the rest of us that they are just as American as us, “except on paper”? Sadly, yes.

Obama, Janet Napolitano & ICE Chief John Morton Breed Illegal Alien Harboring Govt Employees in Their Midst

A federal immigration-enforcement employee has been arrested and accused of using her home in Douglas to stash illegal immigrants smuggled across the border into the U.S.

Stella Peterson was arrested Aug. 31 after three illegal immigrants were found in her home on Eighth Street, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court. Read the rest of this entry »

I didn’t dislike any of the new movies this weekend, which is rare.

* “Arbitrage“: There is a lot of Oscar buzz around this movie starring uber-lefties Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon. And, though the movie definitely has an Occupy Wall Street vibe to it and an Occupy ending, it’s a taut, well-done thriller that will engage you and keep you on the edge of your seat. There is also a Black-versus-White vibe to it, with the White guy as sort of the user in a “Driving Miss Daisy”-on-steroids kind of a way that I resented, since it’s manipulative and the same old, stale, liberal older-rich-White-dude-uses-younger-poor-Black-guy narrative we always get (and it’s never the other way around). Still, even with all of these strong caveats, I enjoyed it anyway because I know better and, as with any good thriller, I wanted to see what happens next. You will, too.

Gere is a Bernard Madoff-esque billionaire in Manhattan who is married to Susan Sarandon. He is celebrating his 60th birthday at the same time that he is desperately trying to avoid auditors finding a giant hole of missing funds (which he lost on a bad investment deal) that could sink him and his hedge fund. He’s trying to sell the company to save himself and his family, but the billionaire thinking of buying keeps putting him off. One of Gere’s rich friends has given him a massive amount of money as a “loan” to cover the whole, but he wants the money back now. Gere’s ethical, diligent daughter (Brit Marling), who is his company’s compliance officer, begins to notice accounting irregularities and starts asking questions. And at the same time all of this is happening, a much larger crisis emerges: something happens to Gere’s extramarital girlfriend (former supermodel Laetitia Casta), and he is now under investigation. All of these crises come to a head simultaneously, and Gere must do the impossible: fix them all at once and outsmart a Columbo-like detective (Tim Roth). Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday, I told you about slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens’ strong pan-Islamic sympathies and career of pandering to jihadists. Reader Jon Grant of Grant Patent Services said he believes Stevens was probably anti-Israel. And now we have proof that Jon’s instincts were spot on. Top P.L.O. terrorists–especially those who were tightest with terrorist-in-chief Yasser Arafat–say they were very close to Stevens, who they say “understood the Palestinian side,” which is code for “he was pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel.” Among those mourning Stevens’ death were Hanan Ashrawi, Peter Jennings’ sexy (by Palestinian standards) former girlfriend and Yasser Arafat’s favorite Christian mouthpiece and suicide bombing proponent. Saeb Erekat, who took the same positions, and was Arafat’s chief negotiator and his spokesman, called Stevens “a close friend” but qualified Stevens’ murder with a statement about how “the discrediting of our prophet Mohammad” is not tolerable. Christopher worked in the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem, where he took the Palestinians’ side consistently.

Ma’an, the official P.L.O. news agency reports:

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Palestinian negotiators on Thursday remembered US ambassador Christopher Stevens as fair-minded and described his death in Libya as a major loss for American foreign policy.

Translation: a major loss for the jihad.

Stevens, who was killed with three colleagues Tuesday in an attack on US institutions in Benghazi, had served years earlier as a political officer at the US consulate in Jerusalem.

“It’s just tragic,” said Hanan Ashrawi, a PLO leader and veteran negotiator with Israel. “It’s very sad. I thought he was a person who was not just intelligent but also caring.” Read the rest of this entry »

Last week, I told you about the disaster that crazy liberal Democrat Jennifer Granholm wrought on Michigan, where I was born and raised and currently live. When she was running for Governor back in 2002 and my CBS Radio show debuted on Detroit radio, I was trying like heck to get my hands on the Jennifer Granholm episode of “The Dating Game.” But the show wasn’t available on DVD, and the producers and rights owners wouldn’t release it to us (probably to help liberal Jenny from the Crock win the election). And after she was anointed Governatrix–and her effeminate husband who took her last name and held forums on proudly being a Mr. Mom–they still wouldn’t give it to me. Now, after her meltdown at the Democratic National Convention, the “Dating Game” episode has finally surfaced. Check out this bimbo–who never stopped being a bimbo, despite her switch from the “Mork From Ork” get-up to the pixie hair and more conservative dress she sported as Governor. And note that Granholm, who was trying to become an actress, but failed (at least in Hollywood, as she did a bad acting job in Michigan for years and, yet, won three elections), said she never went on the date . . . a positive turn of events for the “chosen one” on the show. She doesn’t like real men anyway. She thinks she is one, and she married a chick with faux-testicles. By the way, the only other “Dating Game” contestant Governor was Arnold Schwarzenegger, another disaster. Not that it’s brain surgery to note that if your Governor appeared on a dating show, he/she/it is probably gonna be a piece of crap as a leader (and as a person).

When will the Copts and the Wall Street Journal apologize for their blood libel against Jews and Israel with regard to the movie, “Innocence of Muslims,” the movie used as a phony excuse for planned, coordinated Muslim violence on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 earlier this week . . . and the violence ever since? As I’ve said all along, Muslims don’t need an excuse–phony or legitimate (and it is never legitimate)–to engage in the violence that is their way and prescribed by the koran, the hadiths, and the imams and their sermons. But a movie trailer was used by Coptic Christians to defame and incite blame and hatred against the Jews and Israel, and the Wall Street Journal was complicit, with zero apologies from either party.

On Wednesday, I told you my suspicions, confirmed later in the day, that “Sam Bacile”–the man who implicated Jews and Israelis in the crappy trailer he posted online–was a fraud, not a Jew, not an Israeli, and never raised the $5 million he claimed he got from “100 Jewish donors.” I said he was an agent provocateur, and I was disgusted that the Wall Street Journal reported this as fact and never ever made any attempt to verify even one of these specious claims that turned out to be the work of a Coptic Christian ex-con who committed bank fraud. But where did he get the money–even though it was not $5 million? And why did he implicate Israel and the Jews? And why did the Wall Street Journal–the second most popular newspaper in America (behind USA Today)–report his BS as fact, without making a single attempt to verify that “Sam Bacile,” who we now know is Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was Israeli, Jewish, and raised $5 million from “100 Jewish donors”? Just so you know, the Journal reporters whose bylines appeared on the story were Matt Bradley, Dion Nissenbaum, Sam Dagher, and Jay Solomon–respectively, a gentile, a Jew, an Arab, and another Jew. Not one of these “reporters” actually did any reporting. They, instead, put their names on a blood libel against Jews, and it spread around the world. The stories debunking that did not spread as far or wide, and the Arab Street–already prone to Muslim conspiracy theories against Jews–will use it as an excuse for more violence against Jews, just as they used it as a phony excuse for premeditated, planned violence against Americans and our embassies. Here is what they reported on Wednesday as fact (when it was not–and they did nothing to verify it):

The movie, “Innocence of Muslims, ” was directed and produced by an Israeli-American real-estate developer.

Hmmm . . . how did they know he was an Israeli or a real-estate developer? Because he told them so, and they didn’t want to break a fingernail dialing the Israeli Embassy or looking up California property records to verify this.

Then they wrote:

Mr. Bacile said he raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors, who he declined to identify.

Um, maybe the fact that he didn’t want to identify even one of them could have been a hint that he was lying. I mean, next, David Duke will tell the Journal that the “100 Jewish donors” were behind 9/11, and will the Journal report that? I heard that “100 Jewish donors” were behind syphilis and gonorrhea and the return of the Bubonic Plague. ‘Cuz someone told the Wall Street Journal, and they just published it. So, it’s gotta be true, right? (What other Wall Street Journal info is equally phony? Probably a lot more than people realize. Amy Chozick, then of the Journal and now of the New York Times did the same thing to me. She repeated as fact false info fed to her by HAMAS CAIR and other Muslim groups, claiming that John McCain dumped an “innocent, respected Arab businessman” from his campaign in Michigan in 2008 because of what I wrote about him. But, as I wrote, the man, Ali Jawad, was a federally convicted insurance defrauder and was an open supporter of Hezbollah, not to mention the fact that he was under investigation for Hezbollah cigarette smuggling.)

Clearly, “Bacile” a/k/a Nakoula is an agent provocateur against the Jews and Israel. The question is who funded his provocation and how deeply the Coptic church, despite its obligatory public denials, was involved. That he is Copt is hardly a coincidence and not exclusive of his anti-Semitic blood libel. Read the rest of this entry »
