http://frontpagemag.com/2013/arlene-kushner/the-arab-leagues-peace-process-deception/print/ The Times of Israel has the following headline this morning: “In sea change, Arab League backs land swaps in peace talks.” A sea change is defined as a marked change or a transformation. But what we’re looking at here is nothing of the sort. Members of the Arab League, representing seven Arab nations, met with […]

The FBI’s Most Wanted (Islamic) Terrorists List
In the wake of the horrific Boston Marathon bombing, media, politicians and left-wing commentators have gone to extraordinary lengths to opine on every possible motive and affiliation of the terrorists responsible — every motive except Jihad. Yet as the FBI’s official “Most Wanted Terrorists” list glaringly illustrates, there is no mystery behind the agenda of those compelled to commit mass atrocities against American citizens. View the list yourself, and see if you can discern the common denominator:

This week’s Glazov Gang had the honor of being joined by actor Dwight Schultz, (DwightSchultzFansite.nl), Ann-Marie Murrell, the National Director of PolitiChicks.tv and Nonie Darwish, the author of The Devil We Don’t Know.
The Gang gathered to discuss How American Media Follows The Islamist Media. The guests reflected on who is left to tell the truth about Islamic Jihad. The discussion occurred in the context of the Boston Marathon Massacre and how the Left has made us vulnerable to Islamic terrorist attacks due to its Jihad Denial. The panel focused in on How Terrorism Operates on the Psyche of Nations and analyzed how 9/11 traumatized Americans so badly that it made them submissive to Islam.
The Gang also focused on: Why Eric Holder Shut The Mouth of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, unveiling what the Obama administration doesn’t want you to know about the Jihad in Boston. The dialogue involved one of the key issues: The Words Banned By Obama; on this theme, the guests shed light on how we can possibly defend ourselves from Jihad if we are not even allowed to say its name.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION IN MASSACHUSSETTS: GABRIEL GOMEZ (R) VS MARKEY (D) : KATRINA TRINKO
The best advantage Gabriel Gomez has in the Senate race in Massachusetts is timing.
After Scott Brown’s loss to Elizabeth Warren last fall, few Republicans in Massachusetts hold much hope that a Republican candidate could emerge the winner in a regular election, particularly one that coincides with a presidential election. But the June 25 special election — in which turnout will likely be low — is a different matter.
“Any time a Republican runs for statewide office, it’s an uphill climb, but they have better chances in off-year elections and in special elections than they do in presidential years,” says Ryan Williams, a GOP consultant who worked for Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. “It is virtually impossible as a Republican to win statewide office during a presidential year, given the turnout.”
There is no doubt that Gomez, who won the GOP primary Tuesday, is the underdog. His Democratic rival, 20-term congressman Ed Markey, raised significantly more money than Gomez did and has the advantage in blue Massachusetts. Markey received more votes in the Democratic primary than did all the candidates on the Republican side. Republicans are clear-eyed about the formidable numbers. “We have to win probably 60 to 70 percent of independents, and we have to win 10 to 20 percent of the Democrats,” estimates Brad Dayspring, communications director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
But Republicans are hoping that Gomez can pull off a surprise victory. Eric Fehrnstrom, who advises a super PAC backing Gomez, describes the race as “between Ed Markey, who’s a government insider who’s never really had a job outside of politics, and Gabriel Gomez, a fresh-faced reformer with a compelling personal story and a plan to change Washington.” In Fehrnstrom’s mind, Gomez’s private-sector background (he is a private-equity investor) and military past (he was a Navy SEAL) may help give him an edge on economic and national-security issues, with the latter being fresh in voters’ minds after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.

Thanks to oil discoveries elsewhere, the region is losing its geostrategic clout.
Since antiquity, the Middle East has been the trading nexus of three continents — Asia, Europe, and Africa — and the vibrant birthplace of three of the world’s great religions.
Middle Eastern influence rose again in the 19th century when the Suez Canal turned the once-dead-end eastern Mediterranean Sea into a sea highway from Europe to Asia.
With the 20th-century development of large gas and oil supplies in the Persian Gulf and North Africa, an Arab-led OPEC more or less dictated the foreign policy of thirsty oil importers like the United States and Europe. No wonder U.S. Central Command has remained America’s military-command hot spot.
Yet the Middle East is becoming irrelevant. The discovery of enormous new oil and gas reserves along with the use of new oil-recovery technology in North America and China is steadily curbing the demand for Middle Eastern oil. Soon, countries such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are going to have less income and geostrategic clout. In both Iran and the Gulf, domestic demand is rising, while there is neither the technical know-how nor the water to master the new art of fracking to sustain exports.
The recent Boston bombing reminded the West that nearly twelve years after 9/11, most terrorism still follows the same old, same old script, acted out by angry young men with Muslim pedigrees claiming to act on radical Islamist impulses, without much popular rebuke from the Muslim world.

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/347070/government-accomplice-murder The Gosnell trial is winding down, and the pro-abortion crowd’s line seems to be that yes, this guy was an unfortunate outlier but he’s of no broader significance. This conveniently overlooks the fact that he couldn’t have done what he did without the assistance of government. Gosnell’s “clinic” went uninspected for 17 years — that’s […]
