ALAN CARUBA: ANOTHER GRIM YEAR WITH OBAMA

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/another-grim-year-with-obama?f=puball The fifth year in the political marriage between Barack Obama and the rest of America has the look of a divorce in which a lot of Americans are wondering how we can rid ourselves of the worst President in the history of the nation. That’s not just my opinion. As 2013 comes to a […]

PAUL DRIESSEN: CROOKED LABS, AGENCIES AND PROSECUTORS

EPA Nifongs and Beales prosecute US hydrocarbons, jobs, living standards and health

Former Durham, NC district attorney Mike Nifong was disbarred for withholding evidence from the defense and lying to the court in the trumped-up Duke lacrosse team rape case. Ex-Boston crime lab technician Annie Dookhan was prosecuted for faking test results and contaminating drug samples, to get accused dealers convicted. In both cases, charges against their victims were dismissed or are under review.

So how should we handle federal officials who’ve become unethical researchers and prosecutors – determined to get convictions, basing their cases on esoteric circumstantial evidence, allowing tainted and fraudulent evidence, hiding exculpatory information, rewriting the law, and denying defense counsel the right to cross-examine adverse witnesses or present their case?

As the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow explains in its amicus curiae brief to the US Supreme Court, that’s what Environmental Protection Agency regulators have been doing with global warming. They’re pulling every dirty prosecutorial trick in the book, to convict fossil fuels, carbon dioxide, and America’s economy and living standards of “endangering” the public welfare.

There are many possible explanations for this sorry state of affairs, but one factor that doesn’t add anything positive […]

Israeli Arabs: We Do Not Want to Live in Palestinian State by Khaled Abu Toameh

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4119/israeli-arabs-palestinian-state It is much easier for Palestinians to accuse Israel of racism than to admit they do not want to be part of a Palestinian state. “This is an imaginary proposal that relates to the Arabs as if they were chess pieces that could be moved around according to the wish of the players.” — […]

SOL SANDERS: THE ASIA SCRUM

A version of this column is scheduled for publication Jan. 6, 2014 at worldtribune.com and at http:yeoldecrabb.com   Rather suddenly there is a welter of developments turning Asia’s dozen-odd countries into a cat’s cradle of conflicting interests – some new — that could lead to war.
