Love It. Fear It. Smear It.The Case for Rescuing Schmaltz From Culinary Oblivion By Lenore Skenazy

You walk into the restaurant, and there, at the center of each table, is a help-yourself container of cocaine. Well, Jewish cocaine.

Pure Gold: Schmaltz was once a treasured part of our cuisine. Then life became one big fitness craze.

“People get a little confused,” explained David Zimmerman, owner of the uber-Jewish eatery Sammy’s Roumanian Steak House, on New York City’s Lower East Side. That is, diners understand the bowl of pickles and the basket of rye bread. Homey. Nice. But they are confused by the fact that next to these wholesome items, there seems to be, in full public view, an entire pancake syrup jar full of yellow, pourable chicken fat — a food so fraught with anxiety, joy and just plain shock value, it should come with a tablet of Xanax. (And, of course, some stents.)

Instead, all it comes with is that confounding gift: freedom. Patrons are free to slather it on the rye or stir it into their mashed potatoes. Heck, they can mix it with their vodka — which some do.

“They think it’s orange juice,” Zimmerman said, chuckling. Generally those are the younger patrons, or the non-Jewish ones. They’re about to gulp down their screwdriver when they realize: “What the…? The two liquids aren’t mixing.” “Then they say, ‘This doesn’t look too good,’” said Zimmerman, who encourages them to drink it anyway, because why waste good schmaltz?

That would be a shande. A scandal, kids, a scandal. In the olden days — the days before people were expected to read labels, blanch kale and use dumbbells for exercise instead of as a label for their sons-in-law — schmaltz was golden. (Well, it still is. But “golden” in a more metaphoric sense.) “My mother used to make it,” recalled Marilyn Meltzer, a retired telephone company employee in Boston. “The house smelled wonderful when she made the gribenes” — little pieces of chicken skin and onions fried up in that savory fat. Meltzer’s mom, like most yidishe mames of an earlier era, rendered her own chicken fat and saved it, sometimes for months, in coffee cans. Then the family used it like butter, scooping it onto bread for sandwiches, or frying in it, or even baking with it. But because it wasn’t made with milk, you could eat it with a meat meal and still be kosher. “My mother used to bake pies, and her apple pies were, I swear to God, so good, my sister and I fought over them. So she used to make one for each of us,” Meltzer said.

The failures of Barack Obama and his Administration
During the final Presidential debate of 2008, then Senator Barack Obama was quoted as saying that Senator Dick Lugar was one of the individuals “who have shaped my ideas and who will be surrounding me in the White House.” Senator Lugar has co-sponsored legislation with Obama and has proven many times that he is truly a Republican in name only. In c… Continue Reading Full Article

Obama Care must be de-funded and repealed
Richard Mourdock firmly believes that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act forced on Americans by Obama’s administration is unconstitutional and must be stopped at all costs. We cannot have the Federal government sponsoring abortions, nationalizing our care, or bankrupting our nation with socialist ideals that do not work in the real worl… Continue Reading Full Article

We must put an end to illegal immigration
Richard Mourdock is against any form of amnesty for illegal aliens, including the DREAM act which was supported by his opponent, Dick Lugar. Mr. Mourdock knows that we must secure our borders to protect against acts of terror but also to put an end to the continued loss of American jobs. Our laws and rules must be upheld. Mr. Mourdock wants immigra… Continue Reading Full Article

Public Trust: Our president, it seems, is quite the fabulist. A new book reveals he fabricated yet another story in his 1995 memoir, this one about a white girlfriend complaining about black anger.

In his supposedly nonfiction memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” Obama claims he and the girlfriend got into a “big fight” after seeing a New York play by a black writer. He became annoyed when she allegedly asked “why black people were so angry all the time.”

Obama biographer David Maraniss contacted the former girlfriend, Genevieve Cook, who insists the scene never took place. She says they never even saw a show by a black playwright.

Maraniss, who works for the Washington Post, snagged an interview with the president and asked him about the discrepancy. Obama agreed with Cook’s account.

So why did he make up the anecdote? He told Maraniss it was a “useful theme to make about sort of the interactions that I had in the relationships with white girlfriends.”

How convenient — especially when the overall theme of his bitter memoir is white racism.

Obama told another whopper in his autobiography. He wrote that while thumbing through a copy of Life magazine, he came across a story about a black man who underwent chemical treatments to lighten his skin. He claims he recoiled in horror at the photo of the bleached man, who looked like “an albino.”

Then he says he got so angry that “I felt my face and neck get hot.” He was upset that blackness was so condemned in America that a black man would resort to making himself white.
Only, that story wasn’t true, either. Life never published such an article.

Obama also grossly exaggerates his own battles with racism while attending a mostly white prep school in Honolulu.

The French presidential elections, initially presented by pollsters and commentators as a pushover for the Socialist contender François Hollande, turns out to be a cliff-hanger.[i] The best comparison with the United States might well be the 1948 Dewey- Truman match. On the eve of the final round, pollsters admit that the gap between the two candidates is gradually narrowing. My prediction is a photo finish, with less than one point of difference. This is the most important presidential election in France since the end of World War 2. The outcome is not only crucial for France but for the free world. I think this is the most clear cut opportunity for a European nation to stand up and confront the wave of conquest unleashed in 1973. There has been some speculation about how this would happen: mass incarceration and deportation of Muslims, civil war, craven surrender… Now, in the European country with the largest Muslim population, the question is going to be treated democratically; not by revolution, not by tribal warfare, but by the exercise of hard won freedom through institutions created and developed over the centuries. French citizens, acutely aware of the high stakes, are riveted on a campaign that has become increasingly articulate and well-defined. It is impossible in the space of this brief article to give a detailed account of issues and events, particularly to an English-speaking readership that has received rather sketchy superficial information. (I will remedy that with an in-depth essay soon.)

The Left tried to focus the campaign on economic issues, which could only fall to the disadvantage of President Sarkozy who had been unable to fulfill his promise to implement extensive structural reforms that would release the untapped potential for growth and significantly reduce the unemployment that has plagued France for the past thirty years. But voters, fortunately, have had their say. While it would be false to claim that the score of Front National candidate Marine Le Pen, who came in third, has no economic component it is impossible to ignore the burning issue that sent so many votes her way: Islam. Nicolas Sarkozy cannot win the second and final round without attracting a significant percentage of the Front National vote. François Hollande, who counts on reaping the total far Left vote, will gladly take in the economically disgruntled who “mistakenly” went for FN but will grant them nothing in exchange. Now, on the eve of the final round, polls are still predicting victory for François Hollande. One issue could make the difference:

http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2012/05/red-hot-chili-peppers-in-hot-water-with.html

The latest band targetted by the BDS fanatics are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who are due to perform in Tel Aviv on 10 September, having held gigs in Beirut and Istanbul.

A bunch of far leftists and other usual suspects are busy with a related Facebook page (I won’t increase its traffic by linking to it), that contains such Israel-demonising posts as

“The Israeli occupation army tried to arrest a toddler recently. It could get worse- they could arrest a baby one day. Soldiers have let pregnant mothers and their unborn babies die horrible deaths at their checkpoints, so why arrest babies?… It all makes sense if one has fascist sympathies.”

Er – shouldn’t that read “Islamofascist sympathies”?

For a representative glimpse of leftist ignorance and antisemitism in action, we need go no further than one of the comments here from someone with a gallic-sounding name who’s angry about the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ visit:

“The jews are claiming Israel as their land for something that happened over 2000 years ago, and are still mind-f-ing the world with the Holocaust which happened more than 64 years ago, so please… spare us. And since when a Jew ever did anything FOR an Arab”

‘Bow Tie’N White Boy’: Democrat Strategist Hurls Racial Slur at Tucker Carlson

A racist comment may have ripple effects after airing on the Fox News Channel this afternoon. Democrat strategist Jehmu Greene and the Daily Caller’s Tucker Carlson appeared on Megyn Kelly’s show America Live, when Greene went after Carlson personally. Twitter lit up immediately:

http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-rubio-doctrine-sen-marco-rubio-gets-serious-about-russia/?print=1

Florida Senator Marco Rubio recently gave a speech [1] at the left-leaning Brookings Institution, where he was introduced by his colleague Joe Lieberman. In the speech, Rubio announced a bold new policy towards Russia. Considering two frightening recent pronouncements from Putin supporters, this new Rubio Doctrine cannot be implemented soon enough.

The five principles of the Rubio Doctrine:

1. Recognition
2. Leadership
3. Circumvention
4. Displacement
5. Revolution

Rubio argues that the U.S. must recognize that Russian interests are diametrically opposed to our own and that Russia will not act for the global common good. Rubio calls Russia “increasingly belligerent” despite four years of “reset” by the Obama administration, and he also states:

Justice for the victims of Maj. Hasan?

THERE CAN BE NO JUSTICE UNTIL THIS ADMINISTRATION RECOGNIZES THE WORD JIHAD AND THE EVIL IDEOLOGY THAT MOTIVATED HASSAN AND OTHERS WHO IMPERIL OUR NATION….RSK

One thousand and fourteen days. One hundred and forty-five weeks. That how long the thirteen families who lost their sons, husbands and fathers will have waited until the court-martial of Maj. Nidal Hasan begins in late August. And that date could be extended once again, perhaps until after the election in November. Where is the timely justice for these families? How many of the families have called the White House and asked when will they receive closure?

From the Killeen Daily Herald – kdhnews.com from April 24th, 2012, by Phillip Jankowski, we read:

FORT HOOD – A military judge delayed the court-martial of Maj. Nidal Hasan for the second time, pushing it back more than two months.

The accused Fort Hood shooter’s trial was set to start in mid-June, but his military-appointed attorneys last week sought a continuance until October.

The presiding judge Col. Gregory Gross partially granted the defense request April 18, setting an Aug. 20 start date for seating the jury.

Lead defense attorney Lt. Col. Kris R. Poppe asked for the second postponement to give Hasan’s legal team more time to review evidence documents that he described as “staggering.”

Hasan could face the death penalty if convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted pre-meditated murder for the Nov. 5, 2009, shootings on post. Originally, the Army psychiatrist’s court-martial was set for March.

The deadly incident has been described as the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

Fort Hood police shot Hasan the day of the shootings, and he’s now paralyzed from the waist down. He remains in custody at Bell County Jail.

Thank you Mr. Jankowski, a solid piece of reporting on an important national issue.

Pushing BackA Government-Centered Society

We’ve come to a critical juncture in our history. The federal government is buying trillions of dollars of its own debt and plans to spend $47 trillion over the next decade in the belief that such expenditures will motivate the private sector to hire more workers.

By its nature government wants a bigger mission, more workers and pensions, and a greater scope for intrusions into people’s lives. It wants ever more taxes on income, consumption, property and wealth. It believes in the Orwellian view that taxes equal fairness more than it believes in growth.

The November election may come down to whether voters feel strongly about government’s increasingly dominant role in the day-to-day functioning of our society. As Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney puts it, President Obama “has spent the last four years laying the foundation for a new government-centered society.”

The federal government’s debt is now 105% of GDP, having doubled its share since the end of the Reagan Administration. Debt is projected to top 120% of GDP within the decade, greased higher by a fake debt limit—which should be repealed and replaced—and an eerie absence of any cabinet meetings to control spending.

We know the issue well. Washington gets bigger, richer and more intrusive every year and is so powerful and self- contained that it runs without any budget. The hottest economic news, gossip and party invitations come from Washington. Businessmen spend more and more of their time trying to curry Washington’s favor—the most profitable corporate investments nowadays are in lobbyists, not research or worker training. A core purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to define the relationship between individuals and their government, which was to play a supporting role. But in recent years government has become deeply controlling.

Annual federal spending has grown from President Carter’s $500 billion to a staggering $3.8 trillion now, which is more than any European nation’s entire GDP. To expend that much money requires a Byzantium—millions of square feet of office space, billions in worker pay and benefits, conflicting laws and regulations, and mountains of contracts.
