I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]

Gizmodo is reporting that an Alaska-based company, gScreen, is debuting a dual-screen laptop in December. The two screens will both be 15″ LCDs and will slide away one behind the other when closing the laptop. The down side (besides the $3,000 price tag) is that this is expected to weigh more than 12 pounds... »
CNET is reporting on a Senate bill working its way through Congress that, if passed, would give the President emergency control of the internet, specifically private-sector networks. Additionally, the bill would create a federal certification program for “cybersecurity professionals,” along with a requirement that certain private-sector computer systems and networks be managed by people who... »
There is a lot of buzz now about a possible visit by Libyan dictator/terrorist Moammar Qaddafi to New Jersey, of all places. As if New Jersey didn’t have enough problems already… The Washington Post has this bizarre story: Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi often brings a Bedouin tent along on his foreign trips, and he... »
Score one for Netanyahu. Haaretz is reporting that the United States has dropped demands for freezing any construction in Jerusalem, indicating that Netanyahu’s firm stance and consistent message of Jerusalem being off the table is paying off. Just as laudable, though, were the other stipulations that Netanyahu insisted be part of this new “gesture”... »
During a press conference that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had in London with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, he was asked the following question and gave what in my opinion was a strong, intelligent response. QUESTION: Mr Netanyahu, will you continue while you talk to build homes for Jews in those parts of... »
The Swedish Blood Libel story continues… Now, Arutz 7 is reporting that an Israeli activist is suing the newspaper, Aftonbladet, for $7.5 million in a NY-based lawsuit. The activist, Guy Ophir, chose the venue because “the writer of the allegations published in Aftonbladet referred to rabbis who reside in New York and were charged with... »
There seem to be developments in the Swedish Blood Libel story almost every day. I originally posted about it a couple of weeks ago here (and updated that twice), then posted another new development yesterday here. The latest news now is that the newspaper Aftonbladet has been officially reported to the Swedish Chancellor of Justice Goran Lambertz, who... »
Would any respectable court allow a judge to sit on a case after the judge made public statements prejudging the case and berating the defendent? Of course not. Not in the normal world. But in the twilight zone world of the United Nations, where mass-murdering dictatorships sit on the “human rights council”, a prejudiced... »
I recently posted regarding Sweden’s new twist on the old blood libel, where the top Swedish newspaper, the left-leaning Aftonbladet, has published a two-page spread, headlined “They Plunder The Organs Of Our Sons”, accusing Israeli soldiers of kidnapping Palestinians to harvest their organs, and then returning their dead bodies to the families with the organs missing. This... »
If you were to look at the U.S. Consulate web site for Jerusalem, you might be forgiven for thinking that Jerusalem is the capital of a Palestinian state, rather than the capital of Israel. After all, the page is virtually entirely about Palestinians, Islam, and nothing to do with Israel. You won’t see mention... »
For as long as I can remember, kosher wine has always been synonymous with crappy wine. The oxymoronic phrase “good kosher wine” was laughable. Granted, there was the atypical bottle from Italy, France, or Australia that happened to be both good and kosher, but it was always the exception and never the rule. Wines... »
No, I am not kidding. Lebanon’s Daily Star is reporting on the latest threat to Lebanon from Israel: “Zionist cows” that venture across the blue line and apparently drink Lebanese water. This threat is so serious that a fence is being built to keep the “Zionist cows” out of Lebanon. (Should we start protesting... »
I recently posted regarding Sweden’s new twist on the old blood libel. Apparently, Sweden is not the only one having problems with insane journalists. Haaretz recently reported that a journalist interviewed Holland’s largest daily, De Telegraf, has said that a recent outbreak of flu pandemics, such as the bird flu, caused by the virus H5N1,... »
Yes, I know the headline of this post is hardly news to anyone, but how else do you describe it when a senator brazenly attempts to change a law multiple times with the sole objective of retaining political power for his party? He first did it in 2004, when John Kerry, his fellow Democrat... »
You almost never hear of Mahmoud Abbas without hearing the adjective “moderate”, and that adjective has also been used to describe his party/organization, Fatah. These are the people with whom the world is expecting peace talks to succeed. These are the people with whom world leaders are pressuring Israel to negotiate peace. So, let’s... »
