It’s a case of Forgery You Can Believe In.

Our friend, Gary Welsh of Advance Indiana, has been covering an important story that’s remained largely under the radar:  that the 2008 campaigns of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton used mostly forged petitions to get on Indiana’s ballots.  And since the signatures were fakes, neither Obama nor Mrs. Clinton should have been on Indiana’s ballot–either in the Democratic Primary or, in Obama’s case, in the general election.

The signatures of dozens, if not hundreds, of northern Indiana residents were faked on petitions used to place presidential candidates on the state primary ballot in 2008, The [South Bend] Tribune and Howey Politics Indiana have revealed in an investigation. Read the rest of this entry »

You already know my views on Israel’s decision to set 1,000 hardened Islamic terrorists free in exchange for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.  But HAMAS’ party-like-it’s 1939 reaction is even more telling about what a bad idea this is.  Yet another omen of more kidnapped Israeli soldiers (to ransom for more mass terrorist releases) to come.  (And leave it to the Wall Street Journal’s leftist, anti-Israel Jewish reporter Joshua Mitnick to connect the deal with the “Arab Spring,” something with which the trade has nothing to do, since the trade was in the works long before the first uprisings of the so-called Spring.)  This boosts Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s popularity in Israel and HAMAS’ popularity among Palestinians.  Everyone at the top wins, and everyone else–all Israelis and Westerners–lose.

The regional political upheaval wrought by the Arab Spring hastened the surprise deal, said Israelis with knowledge of the negotiations. . . .

The deal’s announcement touched off street celebrations in Gaza, with Hamas supporters waving flags and mosques hailing victory for the “resistance” over loudspeakers. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may have heard by now, Underwear Bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab decided to plead guilty today, rather than go through the trial, which began yesterday.  He will be sentenced by liberal Jewish (In Name Only) pro-Muslim Federal Judge Nancy Garlock Edmunds in January.  She is normally very soft on Islamic terrorists, but she knows the world is watching closely on this one, so she won’t bunt, unlike in many other cases before her.  (I’ve written about her before, and I’ll be writing about her again.  Plenty more to say about this uber-liberalette appointed by Daddy Bush.)

There are many theories on why the UndieBomber chose to plead.  Some say he didn’t want the photos of his badly burned “junk” made public.  There were plans to make this an exhibit in the trial, and thus, it would be public record.  Others say that he realized he wouldn’t get to use the trial as the soap box he had hoped.  Still others believe that he decided he’d already done the soap box thing in pleading guilty and saying his law is the koran, not U.S. law or other general international laws against blowing up a plane full of innocent passengers or trying to do so.  In my mind, I just think he’s your typical observant Muslim who doesn’t believe in America’s legal system and didn’t feel like going through the motions because he knew he did it and admitted doing it.

In any event, I’m glad that Assistant U.S. Attorney and universal scumbag, Jonathan Tukel, won’t get his moment of glory trying the case, since he worked overtime to help Islamic terrorists for the last eight years. And I’m bummed that Juror #235 didn’t get to do her duty.  True, she was an alternate juror.  But from what I read, she was the only juror who really gets it.

A retired state unemployment worker who lives in metro Detroit told Edmunds that she has problems with Muslim immigrants who don’t want to assimilate after arriving in the U.S. Read the rest of this entry »

Tonight at sundown, the Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins (and ends next week–it lasts seven days). I’ll be posting one or two ore things tonight and I have several newsworthy things I’ve written in advance, which will be posted during my absence on Thursday and Friday–stuff you won’t read anywhere else. Also, my movie reviews will–G-d-willing–be posted on Friday, in my absence. So stay tuned.

Sukkot is one of my favorite Jewish holidays because it’s a cool fall, outdoors holiday. Here’s some information about Sukkot, from a previous post:

Sukkot (also called Sukkos, Succos, or Succot) is called Tabernacles in English. It is one of the three Jewish harvest festival holidays, and we commemorate the Jews’ temporary existence (and temporary dwellings), while wandering in the Sinai desert [and subject to the will of G-d and the weather conditions imposed by Him].

Various Versions of Sukkahs/Sukkot

To do so, Jews build temporary huts (called “Sukkot” for plural) outside their homes. They decorate the Sukkah (singular of the word) and eat all meals there during the holiday. (My father used to sleep in it, too.) It is very fun for kids because they help decorate the sukkah, and also visit other Sukkot in the neighborhood, eating candy and other treats there, sort of like on Halloween (but no tricks or treats, and it’s way more spiritual). My late father used to make his special drink for visiting kids, Vernor’s Ginger Ale, mixed with powdered Nestle’s quick and a generous splash of Rich’s Coffee Rich (sometimes he substituted Faygo Rock & Rye soda (we call it “pop” in Michigan) for the ginger ale).

We already know that the Occupy Wall Street crowd is your typical far-left group of anti-Semites and great unwashed America-haters.  So, I guess it should be no surprise that an Islamic terrorist’s family joined in the mix. Occupy Boston, the Boston Occupy Wall Street version, played host to the family and far-left friends of indicted Islamic terrorist Tarek Mehanna, who plotted to attack shopping malls and first responders.  (He did this while teaching kids at Islamic schools.  No surprise there.)  Mehanna is also accused of being part of the media wing of Al-Qaeda.  Hey, ya know what I just noticed?  They have a common theme:  the 99 names of allah and the 99%.  Feeble minds think alike.

I’d say this was a case of misery loves company, but in this case, it’s a case of company loves misery.  Oh, and by the way, the Mehanna family is extremely wealthy.  They are among the 1% that the Occupy crowd claims to be railing against.  But, hey, no one accused them of being consistent.  And these fraudulent protestors always make exceptions for the “noble” wealthy:  Islamic terrorists, loony celebrity hypocrites, etc.

The downtown protest group Occupy Boston threw its proverbial doors open yesterday, and played host to supporters of accused terrorist Terak Mehanna, who are looking to raise awareness of the Sudbury man’s upcoming trial.

The Tarek Mehanna Support Committee came to Occupy Boston’s ever-evolving tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway to say Mehanna, a Muslim American pharmacist, is a victim of anti-Muslim sentiment. Read the rest of this entry »

I already knew that Oprah was a selfish New Age nutjob.  But now that everything around her is failing, she’s even more nutty than ever.  A total crackpot. Her “Master Class,” renamed “Life Class,” debuted Monday on her OWN network  (Oprah Winfrey Network a/k/a Only One Watcher Network).  The ads for this pretentious, arrogant show feature Oprah telling people that she will teach them how and what to think and how to live their lives.  Yup, even a more arrogant version of her arrogant, former talk show.  In case you need to know, Eckhart Tolle is some scam artist New Age snake oil salesman that hooked Oprah for life.  And all I can say from this hilarious clip of her advice is HUHHHHHH??????  Let me get out my psychobabble decoder.

Over the past five years, I repeatedly told people (to no avail) that they should stop demanding the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit from his HAMAS captors.  As I warned years ago, this would only result in more pressure on Israel to release a ton of Islamic terrorists to freedom in exchange.  And, as is often the case on these matters, I was absolutely right.  Today, news broke that Israel will–as I told you years ago it would–trade plenty of murderous Muslim terrorists from its prisons in exchange for one Shalit.  I told ya so.  But many of  you wouldn’t listen.  And now Israel will set free 1,000 hardened Islamic terrorists in exchange for one soldier.  Mazel Tov.

And this is after Israel already freed 20 terrorists for a videotape of Shalit. Yes, 20 mass-murderers set free for a videotape.  It’s like they are participating in a scavenger hunt, rather than fighting Islamic terrorists.

This is What Gilad Shalit’s Release Looks Like

One of those who may be released is Marwan Barghouti, an Islamic terrorist mastermind whom Yasser Arafat used to pay Islamic terrorist martyrs and their families.  During their time in office, George W. Bush and Condi Clueless repeatedly pressured Israel to release this man–responsible for the murder of at least 38 innocent people–to freedom.  Barghouti was behind several attacks and himself masterminded a major homicide bombing which killed many.  Is it really worth freeing him and 999 others like him to get one Gilad Shalit (also spelled Gilad Schalit)?  On the one hand a Jewish Israeli life is worth more than 1,000 barbarians’ lives, but his life is not worth setting them free on this world to wreak more havoc, more deaths, more destruction, more bloodshed.  Is it?  I’ve written over and over about these outrageous mass terrorist exchanges for one or two Israeli soldiers or their dead bodies.  It never works.  Never.  It only encourages more kidnappings for more mega-releases of Islamic terrorists.  You make nice with snakes, you get bitten.

This is yet another one of my “Feuds I Wish Would Last Forever . . . And Both Sides Would Lose.”  Today, the feds charged two Iranians, one of them a U.S. citizen, with plotting to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s longtime U.S. Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir.

If you’ve ever seen Adel Al-Jubeir, he’s a cold, calculating, unapologetic defender of Islamic extremism and Saudi kidnapping of U.S. families where the mother had the stupidity to conceive with a Saudi Muslim.  Al-Jubeir grew up in Texas, where he learned American culture and  how to infiltrate it.  He’s a total scumbag who was previously the spokeschick for Saudi Arabia in the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks.  He’s the hack who came up with the “Saudi Arabia . . . American ally in the war on terror” BS, which was included in full page newspaper ads and TV commercials after 15 of his fellow countrymen mass murdered 3,000 Americans.

Al-Jubeir’s most famous uck buddy is Campbell Brown, now married to Hezbollah-enabling, illegal-alien-enabling liberal Jew Dan Senor.  Yes, Brown is an equal opportunity slut, but always with people who help Islamic extremists.  Her current hubby, Senor, helped his boss Spencer Abraham send nearly $100 million in U.S. funds to Hezbollah, elevate HAMAS’ CAIR on Capitol Hill, and block computer tracking of visa violators in the U.S., at the behest of the Arab American Institute’s Jim Zogby.  So, clearly, Al-Jubeir’s “dating” (euphemism) of Brown was effective.  As you’ll recall, while Al-Jubeir was, um, “dating” (again, euphemism) Brown, she was NBC White House correspondent, and he managed to co-opt her from covering any of the shenanigans when Saudi then-Crown Prince Abdullah demanded no women in the air traffic control tower or on the tarmac at the Waco airport when he flew in to hang out at the Bush ranch in Crawford, Texas.

So, this plot of the Shi’ite Iranians targeting the Sunni Al-Jubeir Saudi–well, it’s hard to side with either.  There would be no tears from me if they’d have carried out their plot, then gotten theirs in return.  (I’d only worry about the innocent American lives that might be caught in the attack.) But the pan-Muslim Obamaniks can’t have that.  Their duty is to protect all Muslims above Americans.  That’s how they do it.

Two individuals have been charged in New York for their alleged participation in a plot directed by elements of the Iranian government to murder the Saudi Ambassador to the United States with explosives while the Ambassador was in the United States. . . . Read the rest of this entry »

He never thought it was noble to join the U.S. Armed Forces and fight on the side of his fellow Americans. But for the Libyan rebel Muslims allied with Al-Qaeda, well, Matthew VanDyke found that infinitely more noble and worthy. And even after six months in a Libyan prison, he’s still working for these scumbags, who brutally torture their own.  Hey, why fight to protect American freedom, when you can fight to enslave a country to yet another Islamic government allied with the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda?

As you read this jerk’s story, you know he’s just like the “American” hikers in Iran–American by accident of birth, leftist moron and Islamo-panderer by choice. “Jottings?” Sounds like he’d be right at home with the Occupy Wall Street crowd. He’s upset at how he was treated in the Libyan jail. Um, what did you expect? Paradise? It’s Libya, dude. And your preferred Libyans (the “rebels”) ain’t no better–and are actually markedly worse–than the previous Libyans in power.

As described by those who know him, Matthew VanDyke comes off as footloose and maybe a little feckless. He has worked sporadically, sometimes getting freelance writing or teaching gigs but more often traveling to the Middle East for months at a time with plans to do something, someday, with his jottings and photography.

You know the smelly, whiny, anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street crowd’s mantra.  They say they are the 99% of Americans who they claim are “victimized” by the 1%–the wealthiest Americans, the billionaires, multi-millionaires, Wall Street, bankers, and corporate America.  So, it’s kind of ironic that they are routinely joined by the hypocritical uber-rich left–people like Susan Sarandon, who joined them a couple of weeks ago and who has multi-million dollar contracts with cosmetics corporations in addition to her multi-million dollar salaries for movies and her gazillions in holdings, properties, and investments.  Then, there are yesterday’s OWS visitors, billionaire (and anti-Semitism enabler) Russell Simmons and multi-millionaire Muslim Kanye West, the son of Black Panthers, who is worth $70 million.  Would love to see their stock portfolios, which I’ll bet are quite extensive.

West’s biggest hit is “Gold Digger,” which denounces women who want to take men’s hard-earned money.  Hey, just like the Occupy Wall Street thugs wanna do.  So, it’s kinda funny that West is hanging out with America’s most unglamorous and unworthy gold-diggers, the OWS crowd.  That’s essentially what they are.  Gold-diggers who don’t take showers, won’t shave their legs, and won’t stop wrapping themselves in the soiled pashmina of far-left uber-wacko-ism.

Remember, West is the guy who replaced his bottom front teeth with diamonds (see photo below).  Helloooooo . . . ?  The Occupy Wall Street monsters should’ve flayed this guy, based on that alone. Read the rest of this entry »
