On Monday he announced that he will be returning to Israel and the Palestinian Authority and Jordan for the fifth time since he was sworn into office on February 1. That is an average of more than one visit […]
http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=4591 Two appointments made this week by U.S. President Barack Obama have been causing a stir reminiscent of the brouhaha surrounding his nomination a few months ago of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary. The first was the promotion of Susan Rice from ambassador to the U.N. to national security adviser. The second was the filling […]

The inevitable corruption of the permanent bureaucracy http://www.nationalreview.com/article/350537/all-seeing-state-mark-steyn A few years ago, after one corruption scandal too many, the then Liberal government in Canada announced that, to prevent further outbreaks of malfeasance, it would be hiring 300 new federal auditors plus a bunch of ethics czars, and mandating “integrity provisions” in government contracts, including “prohibitions […]

Dear Rachel Abrams was a witty, irreverent, sassy, brilliant friend and writer and the daughter of my beloved friends Midge and Norman Podhoretz, sister of Naomi Munson, Ruthie Blum and John Podhoretz. Here is John’s tribute to his sister.
John Podhoretz |
Rachel Abrams, the legendary Bad Rachel of the Internet, was as tender a woman as she was the soul of toughness on her blog. Rachel died this morning at the age of 62 after a three-year battle against stomach cancer. She was an extraordinary artist and a writer of great power. She was my sister. The best tribute to her is her own work. Here, from 1988, is a short story she published in COMMENTARY called “School Days.” Her memory will be for a blessing as her life was our blessing.
And here is a sample of her brilliant writing at her blog. Rest in peace Rachel…an angel now among angels. rsk

Galloway: “I am a soldier in Che Guevara’s army”
British Member of Parliament George Galloway says murderous racist Che Guevara is his “leader” and his “hero”

Watch as British Member of Parliament repeatedly refers to himself as a “soldier in Che Guevara’s army”.
In case you had caught a touch of the progressive mind-flu that makes you think Guevara was some kind of freedom-loving revolutionary, have a read of this to remind you how he was a racist murderer.
Galloway describes him as his “hero”. Let’s take a look at what Guevara wrote about black people, and maybe you should ask Galloway yourself if he endorses his hero and leader’s comments:
“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”

Former Conservative Party Member of Parliament Patrick Mercer, who has now resigned his party’s whip following lobbying allegations, was caught on camera expressing anti-Semitic and sexist comments about a soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces.
Watch as Mercer describes his encounter with a female IDF soldier, and says of her, “You don’t look like a soldier to me. You look like a bloody Jew.”
