You must check out these exclusive photos, below, from my collection. They depict memorial services at Anzio, Italy, where several Jewish American soldiers died in battle during World War II, and a memorial service held for America’s fallen by the Jewish War Veterans during World War II.

And so it is Memorial Day 2014. Every day, I try to remember the sacrifices–in this case the ultimate sacrifice of life–that our soldiers made so we could be free. But as I look around me, I wonder if America has forgotten. Forgotten the brave last heroism of American men like 2nd Lt. John Bobo, who stood and fought on the stump of the leg he just lost in Vietnam, so that his fellow troops could live, while he slowly died (more on him, below).

It’s a likely fact that more Americans can name all the Kartrashians in attendance at this weekend’s wedding between the dung heap that is Kanye West and the toilet bowl that is Kim Kardashian than can name even just one battlefield where Americans died to protect this trash. Places like Lexington and Concord and Iwo Jima and Gettysburg, Omaha Beach and Vietnam’s la Drang Valley. These are cemeteries where the ghosts of America’s battles and wars cry out asking if what they died for is still worthy or if the current America has made it soon in vain. This morning, NBC’s “Today” show is telling us where to get the “best Memorial Day fashion.” Huh? Memorial Day isn’t about fashion. It used to be a somber day for mourning. All of the stores were closed, and it fell on a certain day, not usually a Monday for a three day weekend of shopping, barbecues, and all around blissful ignorance.

I look around the supermarkets in my hometown, where I grew up, and where I was shopping earlier this week. Far from Dearbornistan, my Michigan city was never what it is now. I see women in Muslim hijabs and niqabs (the full-Ninja face veil) everywhere, as if it were an irreversible Othello game, and the Al-Qaeda side is silently taking over the board. Every year, I notice the cancer spreads more and more, set off by 9/11, the war in which 3,000 non-military were not the only fallen, but our nation fell and willingly bent over backwards for the attackers who’ve doubled their population and houses of jihadist worship on our soil. Is this what our soldiers died for overseas? So that we would give away our borders, our culture, willingly and in an invidious, insidious manner not even noticed? So that we would just put our hands up in a gesture of careless surrender, sigh, and continue with our shopping? Read the rest of this entry »

So, as I begin to write this, it is the eve of Memorial Day 2014, when America remembers (or is supposed to remember) those who made the ultimate sacrifice: our military men (and women–though it’s mostly men) who gave their lives in service to America. And PBS a/k/a Palestinian Broadcasting System is at it again with its twice-a-year phony patriotism. The tax-funded network’s Memorial Day concert is running for the second consecutive time tonight. I write about this almost every year, and the chutzpah of this anti-American network never fades.

Wait . . . isn’t this the same network that just last week or the week before ran a BBC “documentary” against America, Israel, and the UK, claiming that the efforts of all three to combat Islamic terrorism were just phony? Yup, same network. Same network that, tonight during the concert, cited 9/11, showed a picture of the towers being attacked, and mourned the fallen in “the War on Terror,” but last week or the week before was attacking the successful prosecution of the Duka Family, members of which plotted to shoot up Fort Dix, posing as pizza deliverymen. I watched that documentary with disgust from beginning to end, knowing that while PBS broadcasts this anti-American, pro-terrorist hate parading as “news” 363 nights of the year, the network will pull at your and my heartstrings tonight and on Independence Day, pretending the place is American Patriotism Central. It ain’t. Read the rest of this entry »

I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to lose your son to a crazed lunatic, as Richard Martinez did yesterday when his son, Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, was murdered by Elliot Rodger. And I can understand his need to create some sort of meaning in the meaningless, random shooting of his son–to blame some concrete, “preventable” reason. But the Second Amendment and the NRA’s vigilant defense of it is not the reason his son died. It has nothing to do with it. In fact, someone who is mentally disturbed, by law, is prohibited from owning a gun (federal background checks required for gun purchases have kept millions of mentally unhealthy individuals from owning guns, and perhaps Rodger’s illness wasn’t apparent in the federal database).

And, so, despite his right to grieve and what is clearly incredible sadness and loss of a loved one, it is unfortunate that this father chose to use his grief spotlight to engage in politics. Note also that Rodger stabbed to death three of his roommates prior to the shooting spree. Perhaps we should have knife control in America, too?

Note also that police were asked to check on Rodger not long before his rampage took place and they reported no issues: Read the rest of this entry »

As you probably know, today is the 98th Indianapolis 500. Tony Kanaan, a Brazilian Maronite Christian of Lebanese Arab descent, is one of the racers. And if you follow racing, you know that, last year, he won his first Indy 500. But there is a very touching story behind it. Check out this very touching video on how his prayer and a medallion may have played a part in this young woman’s recovery. I personally don’t believe in good luck charms, but I do believe in the power of prayer. (The embedding code is not working so I can’t post it here. Sorry. But I’ve posted another version of the story below.) Whether or not you are a racing fan or even like sports, you will appreciate the video.

Even though the vast majority of U.S. military men we’ll mourn on Monday were men and made the ultimate sacrifice so that idiots like Oprah could continue to spew, Oprah has decided to let you know that they were liars. In fact, she wants you to know that all men are liars. Check out this e-mail, below that HRHSBotU [Her Royal Highness Supreme Being of the Universe] HOprah sent out this week:

I’m sure thought that when Stedman (her whipped, paid for male escort beard) tells her how great and beautiful she is, “men don’t lie” in that case. Right? Read the rest of this entry »

I highly recommend only one of the new movies out in theaters today for the start of the Memorial Day weekend. As for the rest, it ranges from “eh” to total crapola. On Monday, remember all the American troops who gave their lives so Hollywood could continue to make this garbage.

* “X-Men: Days of the Future Past“: While I’m sure this will do mega-bucks in ticket sales at the box office, I found this movie to be extremely confusing, though mildly entertaining. And don’t waste your money springing for the 3D glasses, as the 3D special effects in this movie are dull. The 2D version will be just fine. While I liked the ’70s period clothing, references, and soundtrack, the movie is basically an attack on President Nixon, the “evil” U.S. government, and the “evil” defense contractors–you know, the lazy Hollywood liberal stock narrative. Also, is it really necessary to have Hugh Jackman’s naked butt front and center in a superhero heavily marketed to kids? Uh, no. At nearly 2.5 hours, the movie is a little long and repetitive and needs more editing. Read the rest of this entry »

Time for another edition of “GUESS. THE. RELIGION.” Or “Your Day in Islam.” I think I have a great new advertising slogan for “comprehensive immigration reform”: Muslim immigration . . . Yeah, we need more of that. Great tag line for stories like this:

A Pakistani immigrant beat his wife to death in their Brooklyn home after she made the mistake of cooking him lentils for dinner instead of the hearty meal of goat meat that he craved, according to court papers. Noor Hussain, 75, was so outraged over the vegetarian fare that he pummeled his wife, Nazar Hussain, 66, with a stick until she was a “bloody mess,” according to prosecutors and court papers. “Defendant asked [his wife] to cook goat and [his wife] said she made something else,” the court papers indicated as Hussain’s murder trial opened on Wednesday.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is a tease, a hypocrite, and a phony when it comes to racism and the pro basketball league’s attempt to oust his fellow team owner Donald Sterling.

Cuban likes media attention and publicity, and he’s getting a lot of it today because of an Inc. interview he gave in which he says he walks on the other side of the street when he sees “a Black kid in a hoodie.” I couldn’t care less, as this is no different from what Jesse Jackson has said about Black kids in hoodies. But Cuban is all over the map and keeps contradicting himself when it comes to the Donald Sterling matter. In the end, he’s just like all the other NBA team owners who are pushing to oust Sterling, even though Cuban has now announced that he’s just as prejudiced against Black people and possibly more so than Sterling.

Major cosmetics companies are promoting the wearing of the Islamic veil (the scarf of subjugation and extremism) through shampoo. They are even giving away free hijabs (Islamic headscarves) with the purchase of their ridiculous new shampoos.

Here’s a tip: if you suffocate your scalp and hair follicles with a rag for most of every single day, your hair will stink, and it will get more split ends than normal. There is NO shampoo that can fix that, but in trying to seek the Muslim dollar, major cosmetics companies are producing special shampoos they claim will “refresh hair” while the scalp is being smothered. Sounds like the female Muslim equivalent of the proverbial “too much cologne!” man (which is also–no coincidence–often the province of Middle-Eastern men). Hair is dead material. It doesn’t “refresh” itself, and shampoo–once you wash it out–doesn’t have magical halal powers to “refresh” your suffocated head stink. That’s halal junk science. Just doesn’t happen, as much as you may fantasize that your religion’s women are special and so allah willed it to be that way. No wonder you guys don’t win too many Nobel Prizes. Fools.

I warned over and over again on this site that this would happen: that companies would adopt the extremist religious edicts of Islam (and ultimately adopt the religion’s adherents’ causes and other extremist views). It’s the worst kind of capitalism. We’ve already seen it with some companies producing halal candy bars and other products and Whole Foods promoting HAMAS terrorist olive oil and “Palestine” and dumping Israeli olive oil. Now, there’s this absurdity:

Personal-care companies have discovered a hidden market: veiled hair. German consumer-goods maker Henkel AG [DS: the company is known as Schwarzkopf in the U.S. and has a number of brands, including “Got2B”) is touting its new Gliss Restore & Refresh shampoo as the world’s first hair-care product to address problems caused by the lack of ventilation under a head scarf, including split ends, itchy scalp and unpleasant odor. [DS: Funny, cuz’ that’s not how they’re marketing “Gliss” in Israel, where it is also sold, but should be boycotted.] British-Dutch rival Unilever PLC is also targeting the market with its Sunsilk shampoo. And hair is just the start. Read the rest of this entry »
