http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/ Let me begin by saying that the deal the U.S. struck with Iran on November 24 is so criminally stupid that mobs with torches and pitchforks should be surrounding the White House and Department of State demanding that the President and Secretary of State resign. How many times does the United States have to […]

Kennedy in Dallas on November 22nd, 1963, as an example of how captivated Americans were by JFK. Two lines from the second stanza stuck in my mind: We weep for our children and their children […]
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304854804579232213683736826?mod=Opinion_newsreel_1 Great news: The White House says that Healthcare.gov and the 36 federally run insurance exchanges are finally good to go. The only thing missing from Sunday’s relentlessly upbeat progress report was President Obama in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner. Sunday’s eight-page report was intended to meet Mr. Obama’s deadline for fixing the site […]

Anyone looking for proof that bad policy begets more bad policy need look no further than the all-too-aptly-named Free Flow of Information Act of 2013. The bill may be taken up on the Senate floor as […]
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/59575 It was President Carter in 1979 who naively misunderstood the internal politics of Iran and let the Shah, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, be overthrown by Islamists. Carter was overjoyed to let the Ayatollah Khomeini return from his exile in France to take over the Iranian state. Astonishingly as we look back now at his […]

Obama is lifting sanctions on Iran for them. He wants to give Democrats a happy feeling over their morning cup of coffee, instead of another stomachache reading about those 5 million people who have lost their health care and will be voting Republican in 2014. With the fracking revolution […]
Ghosts of East Asiahttp:yeoldecrabb.com There is an eerie feeling of déjà vu about the drama in the East China Sea just now. Again an authoritarian government with a rapidly expanding politicized military is making more and more aggressive noises, in large part in pursuit of its voracious appetite for energy. The U.S., hegemonic […]
Senior Haaretz columnist Ari Shavit writes (WSJ, December 1, page C3 “The Real News from Israel,” without background about his paper’s bias toward local Arabs against Jews. Examples of this bias: barring Jewish purchasers from moving into houses in which Arabs are squatting, Bedouin seizure of public land, and encouraging terrorism. Mr. Shavit praises Zionism […]

The motivation is depicted as political strategy or profound, emotional affinity. Either way, it is the […]
http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-blood-libel-film/ For the past several months a campaign has been under way in Israel and around the world, backed by an endless budget, aimed at aggravating the relationship between the State of Israel and the Bedouins.
