I am writing this post to urge everyone I know to please take three minutes of your time to view the video below, and an additional minute of your time to sign an online petition on behalf of Sholom Rubashkin. As most of you already know, he was convicted of money laundering and bank... »

James Taranto writes in today’s WSJ Best of the Web Today about the damning report publicized by The American Spectator two days ago, implicating Obama and Democrats in what is clearly a health care bill coverup—where they worked together to ram through and sign the bill before evidence of its true costs to consumers... »

Dr. Albert Arking graciously sent me the following proposed declaration (“in the event that Netanyahu wakes up in the middle of the night, cannot sleep, and sits at the computer to read blogs”, as he amusingly puts it) that the State of Israel should make in response to the ridiculous and outrageous statements and... »

Greg Sheridan has written a great piece in The Australian last month in which he explains how Obama’s recent antipathy towards Israel is dangerous and destructive. He frames it as an opinion piece directed at Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd regarding his government’s official reaction to the Mahmoud al-Mabhouh  assassination allegedly carried out by... »

David Suissa wrote a great piece in the Huffington Post last month making a very interesting observation, essentially that with all the “new paths” that are called for (and new “plans” and “road maps” that are put in place), not a single one of them bothers to question the presupposition of judenrein policies in any... »

My “current events” have fallen a couple of weeks behind and I’m playing catch-up, but this gem of a video will still be funny for a long time to come, and so I’m going to post it even though it’s been posted everywhere else already. After all, this is a video that everyone should... »

This is apparently a pretty old video, but I only first saw it today and thought it was a great one. Enjoy Maxine Waters here as she accidentally lets the cat out of the Democrat’s agenda bag: »

Several gay service member activists have handcuffed themselves to the White House gate to protest Obama’s reneging on his promise (surprised? what promise has he kept?) to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. In response, the least transparent and most despotic administration in the history of this country decided to make the unprecedented move of chasing away... »

I’ve been keeping a running log for the past couple of weeks of how many times I hear the phrase “at the end of the day” used. So far, not a single day has gone by that someone hasn’t used it in conversation with me, and some days I’ve been forced to hear it... »

Margaret Talev of McClatchy Newspapers is reporting on all the people who are completely confused about Obama’s health care bill and are wondering when their “free health care” kicks in. She writes: Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and... »

Anne E. Kornblut of The Washington Post has this great account of some poor woman who made the mistake of asking Obama about his decision to raise taxes on an already over-taxed nation only to get a 17-minute, 2,500-word rambling response (which all but answered the question): Even by President Obama’s loquacious standards, an... »

James Taranto of the WSJ had this keen observation to make in his Best of the Web Today column of Obama’s audacious statements demanding patience for his health care plan: No, it was not an April Fool’s joke, but an actual headline from the Associated Press: “Obama Urges Patience as Health Care Law Kicks... »

Now here’s a doctor with a policy I kinda like. Dr. Jack Kassel, a urologist in Florida, posted a sign on his door saying: “IF YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA… SEEK UROLOGIC CARE ELSEWHERE.   CHANGES TO YOUR HEALTHCARE BEGIN RIGHT NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS.” Obviously, he cannot turn anyone away for ethical reasons,... »

Arutz Sheva is reporting that sources within the PA are saying that the Obama administration is backing anti-Israel rallies in Jerusalem. If this outrage is true, then this signals a huge escalation in the hostility towards Israel by the United States and, if true, Netanyahu will have no choice but to publicly repudiate Obama’s... »
