| Biden: "Israel Is Moving In Wrong Direction", Cecile's "Colonel Sanders Moment"?, Putin Wins - Again |
Biden: "Israel Is Moving In Wrong Direction" Yesterday was another day when Israelis were reminded, not that they needed to be, of how merciless their enemies are. A bomb was detonated by Palestinian terrorists on a bus in Jerusalem, wounding 21 Israelis, including women and children. Also yesterday Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) uncovered another Hamas terror tunnel entering Israel from Gaza. These tunnels have one purpose - to provide a transit route into Israel for Hamas jihadists to use to murder Israeli civilians in their homes, schools and synagogues. |
| The Saudis & 9/11, Riyadh Threatens To Retaliate, The United States v. Texas |
The Saudis & 9/11 There is legislation pending in Congress that is creating an international uproar. The bill is called the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act and it would allow victims of terrorism "to sue foreign states and financial partners of terrorism." That seems reasonable enough. Who could possibly object? Well, our Saudi "friends" for starters and the Obama Administration, which is lobbying against the bill. |
| Tax Day, Washington Waste, The IRS |
Tax Day Today is April 15th. As you know, this is the day when most of us would normally file our taxes. This year, we get a short reprieve -- tax filings are not technically due until Monday, thanks to a holiday observed in the District of Columbia. Doesn't that make you feel better? In honor of Tax Day, I thought it would be "fun" to stick with the theme of taxes and how Big Government spends your money. |
| Putin Flexes Muscles, Two Years Later, ISIS Threatens Muslim Democrats |
Putin Flexes Muscles Russian President Vladimir Putin is flexing his muscles again. Two days this week Russian aircraft buzzed a U.S. destroyer conducting drills in the Baltic Sea. On Monday, two Russian SU-24 fighter jets made several "close-range and low altitude passes" over the USS Donald Cook as it was conducting deck landing helicopter drills. The Russian harassment continued the next day. |
| Islam & Anti-Semitism, Children Sue Over Climate Change |
Islam & Anti-Semitism Whenever the subject of Muslim immigration comes up, the debate often centers around whether we have an effective process to weed out potential jihadists. There is more than one example, more than one dead American, to suggest we do not. Earlier this week, we reported that many Muslim immigrants are not assimilating into British culture and often reject the values of Western Civilization. There is no reason to assume that Muslims coming to America are much different. An extensive survey of Muslims in England found that: |
| Boeing & The Mullahs, 2016 Updates, Obama's Influence |
Boeing & The Mullahs I was furious to see today's report that Boeing is in talks to sell commercial aircraft to the Islamic Republic of Iran. I suppose you can make the case that this will help American workers. But it also increases the chances that other Americans will have to die in the future in combat to stop an increasingly aggressive Iran. |
| British Muslims Not Assimilating, Political Update |
British Muslims Not Assimilating Whenever conservatives raise concerns about increasing Muslim immigration, many on the left respond by suggesting that the Muslims coming to America are different than the ones in Europe. I don't know why that would be true, but let's pray it is. A new study of British Muslims should set off alarm bells. |
| Changing Tone, Not Teaching, Media Bias Against Israel |
Changing Tone, Not Teaching The media are all atwitter over the release of a new document from Pope Francis on the family. The paper, "On Love In The Family," is the result of two meetings (synods) between the pope and the world's Catholic bishops. Those on the left hoping that the pope would upend more than a thousand years of traditional Christian teaching on marriage and the family were disappointed. Typical of Pope Francis' style, he calls on pastors to demonstrate more grace, while firmly advocating for the sanctity of life and normal marriage. |
| Obama's Priorities, Slandering Israel, Do Black Lives REALLY Matter?, Blue Lives Matter |
Obama's Priorities We all know the anxiety level in the country is sky high. There is tremendous economic insecurity. Obama's foreign policy is failing us. Our alliances are frayed. Recent polls find that two-thirds of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, nearly as many say their values are under attack, and 57% feel like they are falling further and further behind. There appears to be a war on law enforcement. |
| Wisconsin Results, The Delegate Race, And The Award Goes To |
Wisconsin Results: The Democrats Before yesterday's voting began, Senator Bernie Sanders had a narrow lead in the polls -- 48% to 45% for Hillary Clinton. Evidently, Wisconsin voters were feeling the Bern! Last night, Sanders won not by three points, but by 14 points -- 57% to 43%. Sanders clearly has what is called "the big Mo" -- momentum. He has won six of the last seven Democrat primaries. Wisconsin Results: The Republicans |
