http://www.nationalreview.com/article/347049/camp-bastion-cover Do you remember what happened last year on 9/14? Where are the White House phone calls for the families who continue to grieve? What is being done to prevent another fatal attack like the one on 9/14? And why is the full truth being withheld from the American public? Benghazi isn’t the only bloody […]
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/347052/cruz-2016 Freshman senator Ted Cruz is considering a presidential run, according to his friends and confidants. Cruz won’t talk about it publicly, and even privately he’s cagey about revealing too much of his thought process or intentions. But his interest is undeniable. “If you don’t think this is real, then you’re not paying attention,” says a Republican […]

In his place was a glum character, whose gloomy demeanor matched the lack […]
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ The one thing that gave me hope for my generation was our cynicism. We might not believe in anything, but at least we wouldn’t believe in everything. We might be apathetic, but that just meant it was harder to enlist us in causes. We didn’t just march to the beat of our own […]

BOSTON — Businessman and former Navy SEAL Gabriel Gomez has won the Republican nomination to run in Massachusetts’ special election for the U.S. Senate seat previously held by John Kerry.
Unofficial returns show Gomez defeating former U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan and state Rep. Daniel Winslow in Tuesday’s primary.
In the June 25 special election, Gomez will face the winner of the Democratic primary between U.S. Reps. Stephen Lynch and Edward Markey.
Gomez is a newcomer to politics. He’s the son of Colombian immigrants and learned English in kindergarten. He became a Navy pilot and SEAL, earned an MBA at Harvard and launched a private equity career.
Kerry resigned from the Senate to become U.S. secretary of state.

I will never forget the unmitigated horror of watching as the United States openly switched sides in the 2011 “Arab Spring,” abandoning allies in the war on terror (jihad) to support those same jihadist forces instead. There was precious little company in the press gallery on this one as US media, shouting slogans of “revolution” and “democracy,” blindly failed to perceive or actually covered up the obvious truth: The US, with NATO, was now supporting the Other Side — the same Other Side that had struck us in 9/11, killed and maimed our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and threatened Western liberty everywhere. It was in this crazy atmosphere, John Rosenthal’s independent reporting from Europe provided essential information and context.
John’s long-awaited book, The Jihadist Plot: The Untold Story of Al-Qaeda and the Libyan Rebellion, is now out from Encounter. It contains much new information on this shameful, perplexing, dangerous episode — whose jarring reverberations, by the way, have yet to play out.
Here is our Q & A.
DW: Whose side is the United States on in Syria?
John Rosenthal: Objectively, we are on the same side as Jabhat al-Nusra in the Syrian conflict. The administration’s listing of Jabhat al-Nusra as a terror organization changes nothing in this regard and amounts in fact to a kind of sleight of hand. It allows the administration to claim that it is supporting
the Syrian rebellion, but somehow not its “extremist” component. But this distinction is completely bogus. The response to the listing from other rebel brigades — many of which hastened to express their solidarity with Jabhat al-Nusra — makes this clear. Jabhat al-Nusra is part of the
mainstream of the Syrian rebellion. If it is extremist, then so is the rebellion as such.
DW: You explain in your book that in mid-2011, the US changed sides in the so-called war on
terror, which was originally mounted as a war against Al Qaeda; and, moreover,
that the US media missed this story. Could you state the case in brief?
http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2489/American-Betrayal-The-Debut-Interview.aspx Last week, I traveled to Florida to discuss American Betrayal:The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character in the Presidential Speakers Series sponsored by Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona. The book, which, in fact, doesn’t come out until May 28, couldn’t have had a nicer debut with host Marc Bernier helming the interview. Bonus: […]
CAIRvivi-viThe list keeps growing. We were shocked to find five Illinois Congressional Representatives supporting CAIR. Apparently, there are at least 17 more! If you live in Illinois, let them know what you think. And give them a crash course on the Islamists they are supporting.

It may well be that Alan Dershowitz suffers from a unique syndrome of Law Professor idiot savantism. Or perhaps he is just another vapid, doctrinaire Leftist hypocrite who (wrongly) views himself as a “traditional liberal” Zionist—and of course, “sage.”
Regardless, Dershowitz’s self-righteous and angry clinging to the failed Oslo delusion “Two State” solution (which ignores the 77% of the original 1920 Mandate for Palestine that was arbitrarily given over to Muslim “Transjordan, ” in 1922, as well as the ancillary Muslim jihad terror state-let of Gaza, under Hamas since shortly after the Israeli withdrawal in 2005), was on vivid display this Sunday, April 28, 2012. Speaking at the Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York, Dershowitz
…told the audience that he had spoken with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and suggested that a new basis for negotiations be agreed upon in which construction would continue in the settlement blocs but not in any areas in which there is “reasonable disagreement.” Abbas signed a paper with Dershowitz that he would agree to such a move if the Israeli side would as well, the professor stated.
Angered by the informed audience’s reaction—laughter—to his risible words and deeds, Dershowitz responded peevishly,
It’s so easy to laugh, but I have to tell you the audience today is not helpful in resolving complex and serious issues. You’re proving my point. You are part of the problem, not the solution.
The informed audience reaction to this peevish tirade was jeers and boos.

Unfortunately, these increasingly suggest a pattern that is at odds with our national and homeland security. The question must be occurring to many […]
