A little play-by-play of the events of Friday and Saturday in London and Glasgow:
* On Friday, , which failed to detonate, were discovered in London’s Picadilly Circus. At least one of the bombs was in a silver Mercedes Benz.
* Guess what they were trying to use to detonate them? Cell-phones . . . just like the ones that and , last year, tried to buy in bulk, last year, but the FBI did NOTHING.
* No-one in the PC crowd–which is all of the press, politicians, and high-ranking law enforcement officials–wants to iterate the religious identity of the likely would-be bombers. So we have to play “Guess the Religion” and say anything but Muslim.

Official Symbol of New Religion: “Asian”
* Saturday, the Keystone Kop version of terrorists tried to drive a fiery Jeep into Glasgow International Airport in Scotland, and one man is reportedly wearing a homicide bomb device, which fails to detonate.
Instead of meeting Allah and 72 ugly, heretofore-unmolested women, he’s severely burned–and the Michael-Moore-lauded British national healthcare system will be paying forever to care for his burns and likely plastic surgery, as the terrorist relaxes at the Paisley’s Royal Alexandra Hospital (where one of his fellow perpetrators worked, more below). They should have detonated him at a remote location and saved Brit taxpayers the expense. See, Michael Moore, there is equal healthcare for terrorists–they get as good in Britain as they do on Gitmo.
* The man who tried to detonate inside the Glasgow Airport shouts “Allah! Allah!” several times as he throws punches and tries to get farther inside the airport and self-detonate, according to observers. But, still, no-one is allowed to dare speak the name of that religion. Instead, the men are referred to as “Asian.” Hmmm . . . and they blamed me for speculating that “Asian” was really code for “Muslim” at Virginia Tech?
As we know, whenever there’s a terrorist attack and they call the perpetrators “Asian,” it’s generally code for Paki Muslims (or Indian Muslims–either way, they have one thing in common: the “Religion of Peace” . . . um, I mean, Asianism).
So, which religion shouts “Allah! Allah!”? Buddhism? Judaism? Christianity? Bahai Faith? I’m so curious. Please do enlighten me.
* At least two Muslim Medical Doctors were among the bomb makers and perpetrators of both would-be attacks. Surprise! Surprise! As I’ve written at length, don’t let the medical degree fool ya! Reports say they are a Jordanian and an Iraqi, though one previous report says one of the doctors is an Iranian. The Iraqi is Bilal Talal Abdul Samad Abdulla a/k/a Bilal Abdulla.
America is the only place where they no longer say the Hippocratic Oath about first doing no harm. Trust me that the Medical graduates coming out of Iran and Egypt and elsewhere dominated by the “Asian” religion never said that oath or anything like it.
Again, I’ve noted the . They all have one thing in common, and it’s not the medical degree. It’s their religion. You know–the “Religion of Asianism”.
So, to sum up, Chrysler and Daimler are regretting the unwitting terrorist commercials for their products, whereas GM is celebrating its 2.5 hour commercial, known as “Tranformers”–in theaters tomorrow (my review later, today).

On Friday, I told you how Illegal Alien Amnesty advocates are not taking two NOs for an answer. They are –including in-state and even free college tuition for illegal alien college students and increased numbers of agriculture and high-tech job employee visas.
As I’ve told you before on this site, I oppose both because they are rampant with fraud and rarely investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). One of the 1993 World Trade Center perpetrators, Mahmud Abouhalima, was here on an agricultural worker visa. Yet, he worked as a New York City cab driver . . . and as a terrorist. As for high-tech workers here on H-1B visas, we know many of those are here fraudulently because they are hired by companies , on how not to hire qualified Americans. I on how to get around the law and not hire Americans (you know, the ones who “just won’t” do the jobs or “aren’t qualified”).

Today, USA Today has more on the persistent big business illegal alien amnesty pushers and pimps:

WASHINGTON – The business community is already pushing to resurrect portions of a wide-ranging immigration bill that died in the Senate last week.
Among the priorities for business are provisions to allow more highly skilled workers into the country each year and expand programs for farm workers.
“We’re going to have to go back and see how many things from the bill we can pull out and get fixes,” says Angelo Amador, director of immigration policy for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who also said his group would push to give undocumented students who have been raised in the USA a chance to earn legal status and finish their education.
“At the very least a fix for a year or two while we work on comprehensive reform is needed,” Amador said.
Amador added that businesses face increasing immigration raids and new legislation at the state and local levels.

And this is a bad thing because . . . ?

With the [immigration] bill apparently dead, the technology industry will back a more targeted measure increasing the number of annual H1B visas for highly skilled workers. The visas are issued for up to three years but can be extended. The bill would have raised the current cap of 65,000 to as many as 130,000. The industry now will push for an annual level as high as 195,000 annual visas – a number allowed several years ago.
“We’ve got a lot of companies who want to create a lot of new jobs and keep a lot of good people in the country,” says Ralph Hellmann, a senior vice president of the Information Technology Industry Council.
The American Farm Bureau Federation will continue pushing for a farm worker program, probably more expansive than the one in the failed bill. That program provided a path to legalization for about 1 million current agricultural workers and made it easier to use a guest worker program.
“It’s an issue we’ve been working on for a long time – we’re not going to stop,” says Paul Schlegel, director of public policy for the American Farm Bureau Federation.

So, the farmers are not going to stop pushing for more illegal alien workers. Well, what are they doing to push for increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigation into fraudulent farm workers like Abouhalima?
Answer: Nothing. Just staff my farm. Worry about national security, yourself.
And these aren’t mostly small-town America farmers with small farms. They are mostly greedy, giant corporate agri-businesses who are no different than the others who want cheap, unAmerican labor to boost profits even further.
Meanwhile, how about an immigration bill with just enforcement in it? How about an immigration bill with penalties for the Secretary of Homeland Security and Assistant Secretary over ICE for not doing their jobs and enforcing existing laws?
If they can’t pass those, we don’t need any other expansions of who gets in to America and gets to stay.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPATE ****
Surprise. Ego-Without-Substance Sean Hannity has blatantly stolen from me, yet again.
What would do without me? As you’ll recall, Vannity (a nickname for him coined by Michael Savage) –for eight days in a row!–, without a single word of credit to me.
But it appears that all of his several ego-driven shows, including “Hannity’s America”–the latest franchise of the bloated Hannity ego expansion, should be renamed in the interest of truth in advertising. The more appropriate name would be “Hannity’s Schlussel’s America” and my name should probably be added to his radio show, too.

For the last two weeks, I’ve been getting reports from readers that Hannity flat out stole the . Readers told me that on Hannity’s nationally syndicated ABC Radio Show, Hannity read virtually word for word from my column, passing it off as his own commentary. And apparently, he did the same, again, last night on the “Hannity’s Schlussel’s America.”
As readers will recall from the episode of Sean stealing my work on Al-Husainy, Hannity is shameless in lying and trying to cover up his plagiarism when he’s been exposed. He claimed–on his ABC radio show–“we discovered the Imam.” Uh, no you didn’t. (A simple Lexis-Nexis search would bear out that everyone had discovered the guy before Vannity.) He admitted to me that he ripped off my work, uncredited, and promised to credit me. But never did. It took the gutsy and valiant on “Hannity’s America.”
Readers have told me that Hannity has been ripping off this site and my exclusive work, all year long. So, it’s hard to jibe that with the fact that he repeatedly calls himself “the right wing poster boy for all that’s good in America.” Since when does he think being the White, “conservative” (real conservatives respect property rights) version of Joe Biden and Jayson Blair is all that’s good in America? It ain’t.
So Sean, when do I start getting credit for my work? When do you start having a conscience and some ethics? The answer to both of those questions is apparently a big, fat Sean Vannity ego-sized “NEVER.”
Now, I know how Rush Limbaugh feels–since Hannity is a substandard repeat of the excellent Rush, every single weekday.
E-mail Sean Hannity, his producer John Finley, and FOX News Vice President Bill Shine and ask them why they continue to steal from me and refuse to give proper credit. Call Finley (212-301-3194) and Shine (212-301-3289) and register your disappointment.
**** UPDATE: As one reader–whose e-mail is representative of the many I’ve gotten–wrote:

I didn’t watch the whole segment because it was “old news” to me, thanks to you – I was essentially waiting for him to cite you, and it never happened. He had some civil rights attorney in his “hot seat” trying to defend the footbaths . . .

Remember a/k/a “Britani” [the Brit]? I about the British Al-Qaeda cell sachem, whose (click on the links at to see the plans).
Well, guess what? He’s suspected as the likely mastermind of today’s two car bombs that were foiled in London. ABC News reports that video pics of the man setting the bomb strongly resembles a suspect once in their custody in connection with the Barot plot in New York of which I wrote previously.
Predictably, liberal websites criticized me for rhetorically asking readers to “Guess the Religion” of the bombers. But–no surprise–I was quite apparently right on target.

British authorities are seeking three suspects in Muslim-dominated Birmingham.
“Religion of Peace,” Baby. Well, actually, lots of pieces . . . had the bombs gone off as planned.

As Mark Twain might say, reports of the Immigration Bill’s death have been highly exaggerated.
The bill might have been killed for the second time, but today’s Wall Street Journal reports that at least three key parts of it may still have life (one of which, , I’ve ). Yes, it’s like Freddy Kruger. The bill never completely dies. These, too, must be killed:

It ain’t over ’til it’s over.

There are some great movie choices out, this weekend and over the extended holiday, early next week:
* “Live Free or Die Hard“: This third sequel to die-hard is non-stop action, exciting, patriotic, and fun movie experience. Det. John McClane and a computer hacker sidekick defeat cyberterrorists from destroying America over the Fourth of July. One of the best movies of the year, so far.
* “Sicko“: Standard Michael Moore fare–clever and entertaining propaganda that doesn’t tell the truth and misses what’s actually wrong with our healthcare system. Don’t believe the hype.

* “Ratatouille“: This cute, entertaining animated eye-candy delight is something both you and your kids will enjoy. A rat, Remy, wants to become a top chef in Paris. But who wants a rat cooking in their kitchen. So, Remy teams up with aspiring human cook, Linguini, to produce culinary delights that meet the approval of even uber-snobby French food critic, Anton Ego (Peter O’Toole).
While I couldn’t help but be bothered that a rat is in the kitchen (the ick factor), I loved this. Great family entertainment, which explores lots of relationships and shows French snobbery for what it is. Could have done without the statements made on anti-rat prejudice in society. On the contrary, some prejudices are good and necessary.

* “Transformers“–Because this movie is in theaters on Tuesday, I’m prohibited from posting my review until Monday, but I very unexpectedly loved this high-tech, sci-fi movie. The best of Director Michael Bay’s flicks, by far. Very cool, though a lot of sexual content and four-letter words in a movie aimed at kids. Stay tuned.
* “Evening“–Didn’t see this chick-flick because of a scheduling conflict, but intend to and to post a review, coming soon. Stay tuned.

One of the stereotypes Arabs frequently complain (or, at least, complained–past tense–before Hollywood whitewashed them post 9/11) about is their occasional portrayal as swarthy, flashy jewelry-wearing persons with a fetish for the garish.
Now, a Capgemini/Merrill Lynch Financial Advisory survey confirms the stereotype as based much more in fact than in fiction. The study found that while there are rich people around the world, wealthy Arabs spent 1/3 to more than double the percentage of their wealth on jewelry than those from other regions of the world. Maybe they ought to call is “Arab-elry.” Middle Easterners spent about a third–or 32%–of their money on jewelry and 27% of their income on flashy cars, boats, and jets.

The jewelry figure is especially interesting because very religious Muslims arent’ supposed to wear gold (not that they keep their religion so well; just ask the ).
More from the Wall Street Journal:

MIDDLE EAST — Middle Eastern millionaires — whose numbers grew by 12% in 2006 to 300,000, according to the study — spent the most on jewelry. Wealth experts say the nomadic traditions in the region have made jewelry a popular commodity, since it’s easily portable. With outward displays of wealth also popular in the Middle East, jewelry has big appeal. Middle Easterners also spend big on yachts, jets and cars — a greater percentage, in fact, than Americans. “The Middle East likes more overt displays of wealth,” Ms. van der Linde says. “They like heavy luxury.”

This is also interesting because Muslims are constantly telling us how modest they are and how they hate the American displays of garishness. Looks like they’re in need of mirrors. Middle Easterners, dominantly Muslim, are, in fact, not so modest, since they love to show off what they have, as confirmed by this survey.
Well, no-one ever said they weren’t hypocrites. In many ways, they are the epitome of hypocrisy.
Do as my Koran says (or be killed), NOT as I do.
Your gas pump money at work.

“Jewels are the biggest ‘passion purchase’ in the Middle East,
unlike elsewhere in the world.”

In the most bizarre photo from yesterday’s NBA draft, Joakim Noah–dressed and looking like Bozo the Clown–was chosen by the Chicago Bills as the Number 9 pick overall.
Noah is the son of former tennis great Yannick Noah, a Frenchman from the Cameroon, of whom I was a fan (though when my Dad took me to see him play Jimmy Connors in an exhibition match in the ’80s, I rooted for both, as Connors is one of my favorite athletes of all time).

Ringtones ’08 doesn’t just offer ring tones from Presidential candidates, it’s also providing free downloads of such golden oldies as President Bush’s “Brownie, You’re doin’ a heckuva job.”
Ringtones we’d like to see:
* “I stand by Secretary Chertoff. I’m not going to fire him.”
* “He’s Awesome.” (That, uttered by Chertoff about Ted Kennedy.)
* “Julie L. Myers has significant law enforcement experience, and I’m proud to nominate her.”
* “Now, I want you all to listen to me. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.” (Hmm . . . who said that one?)
* “A Vast Right Wing Conspiracy out to get my husband.” (Uttered by Rodham Cankles.)
Fortunately, in 1.6 years, both will be anachronistic and on their way to the next cushy job for which neither is qualified.
The site is also soliciting your own creations for ringtones. I bet these ones will still be in style, since they’re recycled by so many administrations:
* “We support a Palestinian state to live peacefully side-by-side with Israel.”
* “We support Fatah and Mahmoud Abbas. We do not support terrorists. That was uttered by State Dept. Spokesman Sean McCormack, last week.”
Name some other ringtone ideas like these, here. And post them at Ringtones ’08.

How do you save your campaign when you’re in third place in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination?
Well, if you’re gazillionaire John Edwards and don’t want to spend the money you soaked from doctors, you have your wife bait Ann Coulter.
It certainly does the trick, as the Wall Street Journal’s Washington Wire reports:

EDWARDS AND MCCAIN BATTLE to stay in 2008 top tier.
Lagging far behind Obama and Clinton financially, Edwards reaps pick-me-up from jousting with Ann Coulter: $450,000 from 2,300 donors within 24 hours.

That’s what the Elizabeth Edwards-manufactured feud with Coulter was all about. Period.
Not that I think Ann minds much. She presumably got to sell more of her latest book, now out in paperback, which is why she was making the media rounds, this week.
