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 [...]

It seems that all the air is rushing out of Obama’s quickly-deflating “Cash-For-Clunkers” balloon. Aside from the growing criticism over the waste of functional cars, and the energy/carbon cost of each car’s destruction, and the huge amounts of taxpayers’ money that Congress has been throwing at this… there is now yet another growing complaint.... »
There is something very fishy going on. Obama had a call with several rabbis yesterday, during which he said, “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death”—at least according to some of the rabbis involved, one of whom (Rabbi Jack Moline) has posted that exact quote on his Twitter feed, among other... »
The Wall Street Journal published a great editorial highlighting some of Obama’s glaring contradictions on health care over the past three weeks. He apparently can’t even get his talking points straight, as he often says one thing at one venue and another thing at another. This is a classic example of what I’ve posted... »
In some pretty astounding news, Haaretz and Arutz 7 are reporting that the United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency under Director General Mohamed ElBaradei has been making considerable efforts to hide damning data which shows Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons. Haaretz reports that: senior Western diplomats and Israeli officials… said that the International Atomic Energy... »
I recently posted about a report by Human Rights Watch, called the “White Flags” report, which accuses Israeli soldiers of deliberately killing 11 civilians waving white “surrender” flags. I then posted a followup containing an interesting detail about how the author of the HRW report, Joe Stork, supported the Munich Massacre, has repeatedly called... »
This is one of those things that you see in science fiction movies and think to yourself, “yeah, that’s not happening anytime soon.” Well, this time it’s different! CNET is reporting that the September 18 issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine is going to actually have a video advertisement on one of its pages! Granted,... »
Blood libels against the Jews have been around for almost as long as Jews have been around. They take various forms, but typically are one variation or another of the fabrication where Jews supposedly take the blood of Gentiles to use for baking matzah (which somehow still stays white). A Swedish journalist has recently... »
For the duration of the Bush years (or a good majority of them), the left had practically turned character assassination into an art form. Countless political cartoons depicting Bush as Hitler, countless citations of countless forms of demonization of Cheney, Gingrich, Limbaugh, and other Republican leaders. This ploy has served the left well; cut... »
The Wall Street Journal has a great editorial today with the headline, “Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling”—and the subhead, “Too bad it’s not in U.S. waters.” The gist of it is: The U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore discovery in... »
Richard H. Thaler, professor of economics and behavioral science at the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, wrote a piece in the Sunday Times about health care’s “public option” and how this is a red herring, distracting from the issue of real reform. While everyone is arguing about whether or not... »
Craig S. Karpel, author of The Retirement Myth, has written a great opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago pointing out a very glaring—yet somehow overlooked—contradiction in Obama’s position regarding the economy. Obama has said, “make no mistake: the cost of our health care is a threat to our... »
Shelley Berkley, a six-term Democrat congresswoman from Las Vegas (five of those terms as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee), was in Israel last week as part of a mammoth, 29-member Democratic congressional delegation brought to the country by the American Israel Education Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization affiliated with the American... »
In what the Jerusalem Post calls the worst clashes since Hamas drove the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority out of Gaza two years ago, Hamas and a hitherto-unknown group, Jund Ansar Allah (“Soldiers of the Companions of God”), had an all-out battle at a mosque, resulting in 28 Palestinians killed and more than 120 wounded. (And, of... »
Maariv is reporting that Joe Stork, who presented the White Flags report, is a veteran anti-Israel activist who supported the Munich massacre of Israeli athletes. He has repeatedly called for the destruction of the State of Israel and is a long-time supporter of Palestinian terror. That should speak volumes about the "impartiality" of "human... »
You know how every so often you hear some news report about how an “oppressive” Israel is restricting the passage into Palestinian areas of such seemingly benign humanitarian supplies supposedly for building homes, helping people, etc… things like cement, ambulances, generators, fuel, etc.? The press loves to harp on that without ever really looking at... »
