THE APOTHEOSIS OF CHRIS CHRISTIE: DANIEL GREENFIELD

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

Turn on the television and wait five minutes and it begins playing. “It’s in our blood, our DNA,” the painfully high voice sings, “Because we’re stronger than the storm.” The ad closes with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and his family playing on the beach.

The 25 million dollar ad campaign feels like it has been in rotation forever. The earnest warbling of the song can be heard everywhere. It probably isn’t doing much to move tourists to the Jersey Shore, but that isn’t what it’s there for. It’s there to remind everyone that Christie is the guy who flew over the state in a helicopter after Hurricane Sandy. We’re not stronger than the storm, is the message. Christie is.

The 25 million dollar ad campaign like the 24 million dollar special election is about the Governor of New Jersey.

Some Democrats have criticized both moves as cynical elections ploys and that’s true and it isn’t. The election, against a placeholder candidate, is no threat to Governor Christie who is running 60 to 28.

No matter how many minority voters Cory Booker brings to the polls (and it’s no sure bet that he will bring any, Booker for the moment is far more popular among white liberals than among the inner city voters he is deserting in Newark) there is no conceivable way that Christie could lose this election.

J.CHRISTIAN ADAMS: Alabama Politicians Team Up with Racist Anti-Semite

http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/06/05/alabama-politicians-team-up-with-racist-anti-semite/ Later this month, the Supreme Court will decide whether 15 states must continue to submit every election law change to the Justice Department or a federal court for approval.  To send a message, a notorious racist and anti-Semite is teaming up with otherwise respectable Alabama elected officials to deliver a loud message to the Supreme […]

DERSHOWITZ ON SAMANTHA POWER: “SHE WILL WOW THEM AT THE U.N.” !!!!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/samantha-power-will-wow-t_b_3391808.html President Obama’s decision to nominate Samantha Power as the United States representative to the United Nations is right on. Power is perfectly suited to stand up to the United Nations’ notorious double standard and inversion of human rights. She is not a diplomat by nature, and that is precisely what the United Nations needs. […]

ED LASKY: SAMANTHA POWER WILL BE GOOD FOR IRAN, HEZBOLLAH

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/06/samantha_power_obamas_pick_as_americas_ambassador_to_the_un_will_fit_right_in.html Samantha Power has been a notorious critic of Israel for years and that, naturally, makes her well-qualified under President Obama’s criteria to serve in such a crucial post. She will be welcomed with open arms at the United Nations.   We at American Thinker have been warning about her influence with Barack Obama since […]

JONATHAN TOBIN; BILL CLINTON’S GREAT $500,000 GIG IN ISRAEL

http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2013/06/04/bill-clintons-big-israeli-payday-shimon-peres-jewish-national-fund/ We are constantly reminded of the fact that there’s no better gig in the world than being an ex-president. With lucrative book contracts (for books that don’t always get read but for which publishers feel obligated to shell out big bucks in advances), highly paid speaking engagements and uncounted perks as well as lifetime […]

It Wasn’t an Accident It Was Part of the Plan to Make Israel Nervous by Shoshana Bryen

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3752/kerry-israel-accident Imposition of a solution on unwilling partners is a terrible thing to do, as well as essentially undemocratic. They have elections over there for that. Yesterday it was revealed that that the current US (“I’ve Got Israel’s back”) administration leaked to the media the specifications for the heretofore-secret US-Israel installation for Israel’s Arrow 3 […]

ANDREW McCARTHY: IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY NOTHING

http://www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/If-you-see-something–say-nothing-7654 Changes to the AP stylebook show that we’re blinding ourselves to the connections between Islamic extremism and terrorism. It was a report of the now numbingly familiar sort. Witnesses at the synagogue in Paris recounted that an Iranian immigrant had been screaming “Allahu Akbar!” while he chased the rabbi and his son. When he […]
