Is it just me . . . or do you also notice the hypocrisy–no, the Obamapocrisy–when a multimillionaire President whines over and over again about “income inequality” as the greatest problem facing America, and yet his wife wears a Carolina Herrera haute couture designer gown with a price tag of $10,000 to $12,000?

I have a great solution for the Obamas to show how much they hate America’s income inequality: start giving us little people your money to–ya know–make the incomes equal. Crickets chirping. Why not give the rest of us the income the Obamas made from their silly books? After all, you didn’t write that. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday marked 35 years to the official date of the Iranian Revolution, which was really the Islamic Revolution (no border demarcations necessary). Iranians marked it by marching in the streets. But yesterday was really the 35th anniversary of the Shi’ite revival all over the world and the rise, once again, of Islam of all kinds against the West. This time, it seems to be victorious. And we seem to be at the mall. February 11, 1979 may mark the day of the beginning of the end of the West.

On February 11, 1979, the Khomeini’ist Shi’ite Iranian revolutionary terrorists took Iran, and later on November 4, 1979, the U.S. Embassy was mobbed by Khomeini and his henchmen, and 52 Americans were taken hostage for 444 days in Tehran. February 11, 1979 was just 10 days after Jimmy Carter and France allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to triumphantly return to Tehran from 15 years in exile in France. It was also not long after Jimmy Carter and the rest of the West pushed out the Shah of Iran. It’s laughable now that they moaned and whined about the Shah’s “repressive regime.” Look at who’s in power now.

The February 11, 1979 date is also the date on which Hezbollah was an apple in the eye of the Khomeini circle. The terrorist group went on to murder over 300 U.S. Marines and Embassy officials in 1983, torture to death Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem in the TWA 847 hijacking, kidnap and torture to death Col. William “Rich” Higgins and CIA attache William Buckley. And Hezbollah worked with Al-Qaeda to murder Americans in the Khobar Tower and to murder more Americans in bombs the group built for Al-Qaeda, which it used against our troops in Iraq. And don’t forget the Hezbollah bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the 20th anniversary of which happens later this year (and, later, Hezbollah and Iran perpetrated the bombing of the Israeli Embassy there).

And Hezbollah continues to spread its tentacles now all over America, all over Central and South America, and all over Africa. Its car and drug smuggling and fundraising operations extend from Dearbornistan and Lansing and New Jersey to Panama and Brazil to Guinea. Ever been to Sierra Leone? It’s like Little Bint Jbeil (the South Lebanese Hezbollah stronghold), controlled and owned in large part by Hezbollah operatives from South Lebanon who ultimately take direction and funding from Iran.

As you probably know, legendary child star Shirley Temple Black died. Contrast her wholesomeness of yesteryear that is sadly so passe with that of child stars of today who are famous for being slobs and dressing like adult whores in pageants (see Honey Booboo) or getting pregnant (Teen Mom) or making porno tapes (Kardashians, Paris Hilton) or lifelong drunken stupors and drug addictions (Lindsay Lohan). Temple tried desperately to make it as an adult star and never caught on. But, unlike today’s former Disney stars (see Vanessa Hudgens, Britney Spears, etc.), she didn’t slut herself out to make things happen. That was then. Sadly, things are oh so different now. A lot of liberals are remembering Temple because she was allowed to sing and dance with a Black man, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, in many of her movies. But Shirley Temple was also an American patriot, who promoted War Bonds during World War II to help fund our war efforts.

When I was a kid, I used to watch old Shirley Temple movies they played on TV on Sunday mornings (but I never really got into that–wasn’t my kind of thing). I heard rumors from people in the Jewish community that Shirley Temple was, in later years, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel. I can’t find anything showing that (if you can, please post in the comments or send it to me–unfortunately, people often believe if it’s not on the internet, it ain’t true, but that’s just ignorance). Temple was a UN Ambassador (and also U.S. Ambassador to Ghana) and did do LOTS of fundraising work for the VERY anti-Israel, anti-Semitic UNICEF, the organization that often funds and promotes anti-American, anti-Semitic Islamic propaganda and education for Muslim kids and has for years (along with UNRWA). For that, she bears responsibility–she knew what she was doing. She also shamelessly stood in line to visit Lenin’s tomb in Moscow in 1965, while many prisoners of conscience, including many Jews, were forced to suffer in the gulags and ghettos of Soviet Communism.

But I also note that in 1948, she visited Jews at the Los Angeles Jewish Home for a luncheon marking the Jewish holiday of Purim (see the photo above) and was at a reception for Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in 1969 (see photo below)hosted by Israeli diplomat Abba Eban in Manhattan (though that was when support for Israel was hip among everyone).

Hey, sounds like another one of those wonderful illegal alien jihadists-in-waiting whom Paul Ryan wants to “bring out of the shadows” and into your job.

When a Somalian Muslim trespasses at a school, says he’s been overseas in Somalia (probably fighting as a jihadist or training to be one), cites Sandy Hook, and then says, “I am not a terrorist,” which one of these things does not belong? If you said the last one . . . ding, ding, ding! It’s so easy to predict that authorities and the media will tell us this dry runner/testing-the-system soldier of allah is “mentally unstable” or some other BS. You know the drill. Don’t forget that this is right near Lackawanna, home to the Lackawanna Six convicted Islamic terrorists. This guy is probably no different from them.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation questioned a man who trespassed into a Town of Tonawanda school on Tuesday and made comments about the Sandy Hook massacre, a police report states. Students at the school observed a man walking upstairs in a trench coat, and School Resource Officer Richard Engler then saw a black male on the school’s security cameras. Engler confronted him at 2:26 p.m., the report indicates. The man, identified as Derie O. Mohamed, told Engler that he was a visitor, but had not signed in. It was unclear how Mohamed entered the school. Read the rest of this entry »

I really liked one of the new movies in theaters today, but hated the other two. I did not see “The Lego Movie,” as the screening was held on the Jewish Sabbath. (Too bad b/c it looks like fun.) But I posted my favorite Lego/movie combination video, below.

* “The Monuments Men“: Of all the films I’ve ever reviewed, I cannot remember getting as many inquiries from friends and readers as I’ve gotten asking me if I saw this movie and what I thought. My answer: yes, and it’s a great movie.

A lot of the mainstream liberal movie critics are bashing this film. Ignore them. It’s fantastic. I really liked and enjoyed this, even if I sharply disagree with its stated premise–that saving art is worth losing American (and American allies’) soldiers’ lives. It is not (at least in my opinion; you might disagree). (I also don’t subscribe to George Clooney’s character’s statement that art isn’t owned by anyone in particular–that it is all of ours. If I owned a Cezanne, I’m not required to open my house to the world to visit, am I?) Still, as modern World War II movies go, this was touching at times, funny at others, and showed Nazi evil (though not that much). For those who won’t see this because of stars George Clooney’s and Matt Damon’s arrogant lefty politics, I hear ya, and I don’t blame you for not wanting to help their movies make money. But it’s still a great movie. Read the rest of this entry »

Far-left, anti-war crazy, Rosie O’Donnell, returned to her old haunt, ABC’s “The View,” this morning and informed “View” hags that her adopted son, Parker, is obsessed with the military and has just been accepted into The Citadel, the well-known military college in South Carolina. O’Donnell said her son will attend the school in the fall and told ViewHags that this is his way of “getting back at his left-wing mother.”

In a 2011 radio broadcast (with O’Donnell, isn’t it a broad-on-broadcast?) recorded and posted by Brian Maloney/Radio Equalizer, O’Donnell elaborated on her son’s love for all things military . . . Read the rest of this entry »

Saamer Akhshabi is yet another one of those fabulous foreign alien Muslim student visa holders. The Shi’ite Muslim (that’s Hezbollah!) Iran native and Georgia Tech student was caught with explosive devices and gasoline after he accidentally blew up the stuff and suffered burns over 90 percent of his body. It sure looks like he was building bombs. And–lookee here!–he’s a big supporter of ObamaCare, which dominates his Twitter feed (follow me on Twitter). And he follows extremist Iranian Prez Hassan Rouhani and former Prez Mohammad Khatami (who was supposed to be a “moderate” but was just another Khomeini-ite Hezbollah supporter and extremist). Yup, we need more foreign students here like this guy–you know, for “understanding.” The ghost of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is laughing at us.

Spread the Word: ObamaCare is Available After I Blow You Up! . . .

A suspected Molotov cocktail and several plastic bottles filled with gasoline and kerosene were found in the Midtown apartment of a Georgia Tech graduate student severely burned, police said Wednesday. Saamer Akhshabi remains in Grady Memorial Hospital with third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body from the fire started in his apartment Tuesday afternoon in the 200 block of 10th Street, police said. Late Tuesday night, it wasn’t known what caused the fire. But an FBI spokesman said the man’s burns were possibly from an incendiary device. . . . Read the rest of this entry »

Terrorists attacked a major power grid in California, and the Obamaniks don’t care and are doing nothing about it. But the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Chairman at the time of the attack is speaking out and says we should all be alarmed. And we should be. The story should be at the top of the news. But, except for the Wall Street Journal, it isn’t.

Famous But Incompetent . . .

Remember the 2003 blackout? About a third of the country, including yours truly, had no power for days. And Bin Laden publicly took credit. But we were told that attack on the power grid was “not terrorism” by the know-it-all-and-ignore-it-all authorities in the Bush Administration. Bush’s Arab, pro-Muslim, Hezbollah-buddy Energy Secretary, Spencer Abraham, was busy taking tax-paid junkets on private planes to London with his family and refused to return to address the first major energy crisis in America in decades. Now, we know that there was a repeat terrorist dress rehearsal for another one. And the Obama Administration and its FBI is doing the same thing: telling us, “nothing to see here; move along.” The thing is, there is plenty to see here. But few are noticing. Yesterday’s WSJ had a full-page, front-page story on an attack, last April, in the middle of the night, that has alarming implications:

SAN JOSE, Calif.—The attack began just before 1 a.m. on April 16 last year, when someone slipped into an underground vault not far from a busy freeway and cut telephone cables. Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night. Read the rest of this entry »

While Secretary of State John Lurch Teresa-Heinz-Kerry is pressuring and throwing Israel under the bus every single chance he gets in order to appease Palestinian Muslim HAMASnik terrorists, check out his warm, gushy, multi-orgasmic tweet to the fake king of the REAL Palestinian State (Palestinians are the vast majority of Jordan, and the Hashemite Mini-Cooper King Abdullah is descended from the Saudis). From Lurch Teresa-Heinz-Kerry’s official Twitter account (follow me on Twitter):

Um, get a room.

Yup, John Kerry just assumed the Lewinsky position to the king of the country that poll after poll shows is the most anti-American, pro-Islamic-terrrorism nation in the Muslim world. Read the rest of this entry »

So, CVS drugstores/pharmacies announced that they will no longer carry tobacco products, especially cigarettes. Hey, you know who also had a war on tobacco? Hitler. CVS says this is all about health and promoting it. Don’t believe the hype. Check out any CVS store and you will see the following, as depicted in the store ads, photos of store aisles, and so on. In one ad flier pictured below, CVS gives you $4 in “Extra Bucks” if you spend $12 on fattening, sugary ice cream and desserts.

Answer this: if CVS is so interested in promoting health, why will the store continue to sell sugar-loaded, calorie-heavy candy bars and other junk food? Why isn’t CVS getting rid of potato chips? Why will it continue to sell beer and other alcoholic drinks? And why does the store sell condoms galore? Some people might say condoms help spread disease (they promote false confidence, too, as they aren’t 100% reliable). But they also encourage sex–pre-marital, extra-marital, and otherwise. Is that healthy? Is a diet of Coca-Cola and Snickers healthy? How ’bout regular beer-guzzling?

If CVS wants to become the health police, it’s gonna have to stop selling a whole lot more than just cigarettes and other tobacco stuff. This isn’t about health. It’s about a politically correct war on “Big Tobacco” that never ends and–let’s be honest–a war on the red state American South, where most of it is still grown and processed. And it’s a political war against an industry that is still very viable in America and provides employment and benefits to a lot of Americans. Read the rest of this entry »
