Booby trap! Islamic breast bomb threat at Heathrow airport
By Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs "All kidding aside, how is the Obama administration and the TSA going to make us pay? Clearly, these are Muslim women but we can't profile (it might offend Muslims and that would violate the sharia.)
"So now what? Can we expect our daughters, sisters, wives to be felt up and sexually haraassed by goons and maroons? Whatever idiotic response is instituted, rest assured the actual enemy, the jihadic motive will remain sacrosanct. The sanction of the victim."

Barack the Lawgiver; Obama sees the Constitution’s separation of powers as a quaint anachronism.
"That was then. On Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder, a liberal in a hurry, ordered all U.S. attorneys to simply stop charging nonviolent, non-gang-related drug defendants with crimes that, while fitting the offense, carry mandatory sentences. Find some lesser, non-triggering charge. How might you do that? Withhold evidence — e.g., about the amount of dope involved."....

That’s caudillo talk. That’s banana-republic stuff. In this country, the president is required to win the consent of Congress first.America is becoming a third-world country under a third-world president. TD
What You Might Not Know About Barack Obama
"Photo of our royal family, His Highness Barack Obama* and Michelle Antoinette Now that Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States have been finally dispatched, we have comfortably settled into a monarchy. Mr. Obama doesn’t have to deal with a big, messy, tough democracy any longer and he no longer has to envy the Chinese who don’t have a Congress to deal with. Mr. Obama has done a fine job of ignoring Congress when they refuse to do what he wants. ‘They have to do their work,’ he says.
.... "The energy sector will soon be nationalized under the king thanks to the EPA regulations about to crash down on them."
*Amazing that the cult of personality is enough to overcome a 200-year-old Constitution. Skeptical of these words? Then check out this child who prays -yes prays- to Barack Obama.

Obama Foreign Policy: Speak Softly and Carry No Stick
"As Egypt descends into chaos, President Obama is facing increasing criticism that an "incoherent" policy toward the country -- much like U.S. policy toward Syria -- is putting U.S. money and influence on the line without a clear end-game."
In fairness, what else can Obama do given the wide range of opinions given by people who know foreign policy? I must say that the overthrow of Morsi was very much in the interests of the US and Israel, but that may be by lucky accident; Obama policies rarely have US interests in mind but rather those of the politically correct left.
" I think Obama -- I don't say this often -- I think he got it right today in terms of threading the needle." and....
"I would say anything that John McCain and Rand Paul agree on, like cutting off aid, has to be wrong."
Foreign Policy.com Speak Softly and Carry No Stick; Welcome to the Obama Doctrine in Egypt. ... "At the same time, it's just as absurd to imagine that a suspension of the $1.5 billion a year in U.S. aid, or the threat of it, would have any effect on Egypt's new military rulers. They have waded hip-deep in blood; they won't retrace their steps because Washington is outraged."
Hillary the Socialist
Dick Morris "Why did Hillary propose to give every newborn baby a $5,000 savings bond? Because Hillary is as close to a European Socialist as we have in this country. She wants government to help the poor and soak the rich. To do that, she needs the votes of the middle class. So she wants the same system they have in Germany and France where everybody gets welfare, so they all vote to keep the big spenders and big taxers in power. And nobody can cut the benefits either, just like you can’t cut social security, because the middle class is too strong politically to get away with it. And by giving everyone money, she gets everyone’s votes. Its her plan. So watch out."
Morris worked on the Clinton campaign, so he should know.
Too Good to Last; Time to pay our respects to what was, and for European Jews to move elsewhere?
Mosiac Magazine The ever-increasing Islamization of Europe added to the presence os anti-Semitism is, I believe, akin to the Nazification of the 1930's as it relates to the future of European Jews. TD
"Michel Gurfinkiel is in the tradition of the great French essayists who put the issues of the day squarely before the public. It is a bold thing to do, especially when the subject under discussion is the fate of the Jews.
"Since 2000 in France alone, as Gurfinkiel notes, 7,650 anti-Semitic incidents ranging from petty insults to brutal racist murders have been reported, and this statistic ignores many more incidents that are known to have occurred but
were not reported to the authorities. Things have come to the point where the chief rabbi of France advises Jews not to wear a kippah (right) in the street because it makes them recognizable as Jews. “Never” has dropped out of the slogan of solidarity, leaving “Again” to stand on its own."
Author Pryce-Jones makes a case I find fascinating: that Europe has rejected the concept of nation-states (the Euro being evidence of that) and the sense of nationhood in Israel is anathema to them. All this while- conversely -making Palestine a nation-state the Holy Grail of liberal nations. Looking into the future:
"If Jews do indeed abandon Europe, it will be to escape a situation in which their very identity is increasingly treated as a matter of suspicion and political contention. Should an emigration en masse come to be a reality, Gurfinkiel concludes, it would constitute “a profound blow to the collective psyche of the Jewish people” as well as a shattering judgment on the “so-called European idea.” In the absence of living Jews, Europeans will have nothing but Holocaust museums and memorials on which to base the moral reckoning of their past."

New York Times Dissects the Clinton’s World of Money, Ambition, and Politics
The NY Times article being discussed below:
Unease at Clinton Foundation Over Finances and Ambitions "Soon after the 10th anniversary of the foundation bearing his name, Bill Clinton met with a small group of aides and two lawyers from Simpson Thacher and Bartlett. Two weeks of interviews with Clinton Foundation executives and former employees had led the lawyers to some unsettling conclusions."
The Left Turns on Hillary Clinton I'm not too sure about this because this would have come out anyway eventually. By revealing all this so far ahead of the 2016 election, the story will have peaked in time to be called "old news" when it really counts. Perhaps the Times did Clinton a favor.
"In the first sign that Hillary Clinton’s march to the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination is no cinch, the New York Times has done the unthinkable – take a close look at the Clinton family’s complex world of money, ambition, and politics."
Once upon a time, a man started a foundation to promote himself and....
"The Clinton Foundation found itself on the front page of The New York Times. I just don't think that too many "Clinton-istas" expected an article like this:"....
....
"I always thought that this foundation was a gigantic ego-trip and this article confirms it. It was a way for President Clinton to spend his retirement as the central figure on the world stage."
Will claims about her foundation's financial problems hurt Hillary's presidential hopes? "A scathing article in The New York Times tells how the 'rotating board of old Clinton hands' posed problems for the financial future of the charity because they moved in and out of the chain of command fluidly and made connections to their for-profit business that caused poorly defined divisions."
From James Taranto in the Wall Street Journal: Queen Hillary? Political rent-seeking and her expected coronation. "But what intrigues us is the way in which laws restricting political speech--in the areas of both campaign finance and taxation--are vital to, as Firestone puts it, "Ms. Clinton's political future.' " In other words, beware her crocodile tears and righteous anger over voter I.D.

Hillary's race card
By Rich Lowry at Politico
"Anyone who doubts that Hillary Clinton is already in fine fighting trim for a presidential run should consider her speech this week to the American Bar Association in San Francisco.
"She assailed an alleged “assault on voting rights.” She took aim at the Supreme Court’s recent decision striking down a portion of the Voting Rights Act and excoriated states that have recently tightened their voting laws. She declared that “anyone who says that racial discrimination is no longer a problem in American elections must not be paying attention.' ”

Republicans aren’t simply people with whom he has philosophical disagreements; they are members of the “Flat Earth Society” and have embraced a budget that demonstrates their “Social Darwinism.”....
