We counted four mentions of “growth” but “inequality” got five. This goes a long way to explaining why Mr. Obama is still bemoaning the state of the economy […]
http://www.mideastoutpost.com/archives/changing-times-rita-kramer.html History abounds in ironies. Glimpses into the past, into what was thought and said by those who were present as events were unfolding, sometimes explain, sometimes exasperate, and sometimes mystify. For those of us dismayed by how the government and people of Israel are depicted in much of the world today, there are illuminating […]
http://www.theatlantic.com/health/print/2013/07/what-does-it-mean-to-kill-for-a-cause/277846/ Before any country can fashion an effective counter-terrorism policy, it needs a clear and purposeful understanding of “the enemy.” For the United States, especially after discovering so-many behavioral contradictions in the Boston Marathon bombers, an underlying task must be to look more closely and explicitly at issues of normalcy. On the cover of yesterday’s […]

HUMA, WITH HER MORE UNSAVORY MOSLEM TIES IS FAR MORE PERNICIOUS THAN HER PERV HUSBAND….WE KNOW WHAT HE SHOWS BUT WE DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT SHE HIDES….RSK
After Tuesday’s revelation about his post-resignation sexting and the ensuing press conference to deny its newsworthiness, it seems unlikely that Anthony Weiner could win anything — the mayoralty, a seat on his co-op board, or even the New Jersey Powerball. The same cannot be said for his wife. Huma has won the hearts of many in the commentariat, not least Tina Brown, who tweeted Wednesday: “I say Huma for mayor. She has all the qualities he doesn’t.”
Why do they love Huma? After all, this is a woman who has been enabling the ambitions of a husband almost universally understood as mendacious and narcissistic. True, that’s practically the job description of the political wife. But Huma went beyond the customary conjugal responsibilities. She orchestrated the rehabilitation of her husband’s public image and his campaign to lead the world’s premier city, starting with a willfully deceptive spread in People in which she assured the public, “Anthony has spent every day since trying to be the best dad and husband he can be” — even as his fingers twitched in preparation for his next sext.
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/354298/closing-gitmo-still-terrible-idea-andrew-c-mccarthy Such unlucky timing for Senator Dick Durbin: He insisted on hearing today to push forward President Obama’s reckless project to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. Apparently, al-Qaeda did not get the memo: The jihadist network has conducted bombing raids at two Iraqi prisons – including Abu Ghraib – in a successful plot to […]

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/354351/huma-unmentionables-andrew-c-mccarthy Charlotte’s revulsion over Huma Abedin’s calculated “stand by your man” routine is surely right. Still, it is amazing, as we speculate about Ms. Abedin’s political future, that the elephant in the room goes unnoticed, or at least studiously unmentioned. Sorry to interrupt the Best Enabler of a Sociopath Award ceremony but, to recap, Ms. […]
http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/novelists-view-world/2013/jul/24/sex-offender-weiner-not-my-neighborhood/ NEW YORK, July 24, 2013 — If Anthony Weiner were a horse he’d be gelded. That is what they do to sex crazed colts. So Dads – suppose your daughter came home one day and said she met this awesome boy. Only trouble is, he can’t keep his pants on. He has a slight […]

Déjà vu – again Our memories tend to be so short that all too often déjà vu looks brand new. This is the case with the looming release of 82 convicted terrorists to facilitate the opening of yet another round of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. But we’ve been there and seen that. Demanding “gestures of […]
