Krauthammer asks, "Do we really mean ‘never again’?"
Charles Krauthammer
"Amid the ritual expressions of regret and the pledges of “never again” onTuesday’s 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a bitter irony was noted: Anti-Semitism has returned to Europe. With a vengeance.
"It has become routine. If the kosher-grocery massacre in Paris hadn’t happened in conjunction with Charlie Hebdo, how much worldwide notice would it have received? As little as did the murder of a rabbi and three children at a Jewish school in Toulouse. As little as did the terror attack that killed four at the Jewish Museum in Brussels.
"The rise of European anti-Semitism is, in reality, just a return to the norm. For a millennium, virulent Jew-hatred — persecution, expulsions, massacres — was the norm in Europe until the shame of the Holocaust created a temporary anomaly wherein anti-Semitism became socially unacceptable."
"The hiatus is over. Jew-hatred is back, recapitulating the past with impressive zeal."
Group White House Says Doesn't Qualify as "Terrorists" Kills Three Americans in Afghanistan
PJ Media " Pressed by reporters about why the Jordanians can’t trade a would-be suicide bomber to ISIS for the return of a downed pilot, the White House said today that deal-making with the Taliban to win Bowe Bergdahl’s release was different.
'“The Taliban is an armed insurgency. ISIL is a terrorist group. So we don’t make concessions to terrorist groups,” spokesman Eric Schultz said today.". . .
. . . "As a reminder, the Taliban has been classified as a terrorist organization since 2002.
"Race fatigue"; What exactly does the race industry want from white America?
American Thinker " Nothing frustrates me more than for someone to rant on and on about something while never really specifying the desired outcome that he or she is seeking. Or for someone to imply that I somehow owe him something without specifically telling me what it is. This tactic of never specifying or articulating an actual wrong or debt is used so that the accused will be forever indebted to the accuser. The race industry and their cohorts in the Democratic Party have been ranting and raving about black injustice ever since the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and have yet to articulate exactly what the injustices are or what can be done to correct them." . . .
. . . "Instead, the American people are bombarded with trumped up charges of racism (some turn out to be complete hoaxes) to the point that we have developed race fatigue."
Full article.
If we are responsible for the slavery and Jim Crow laws of past generations, then the Democrat Party must today be held liable for the KKK. And Reginald Denny owes reparations to those who beat him nearly to death during the Rodney King riots. TD
Romney pulls the plug
I think this is as it should be, but do consider Mitt to be head and shoulders above Obama and Clinton as a human being.
Mitt Romney has decided not to run for President in the 2016 campaign. . . . "Romney’s attempt to enter the race started falling apart recently as major donors indicated that they were looking to Jeb Bush as their favorite to take 2016 by storm.
Mitt takes a parting jab at Jeb Bush "But the rivalry between the two might still persist. Notably, Romney said in his remarks to donors on Friday that he believed the next GOP leader would be one “who may not be as well known as I am today, one who has not yet taken their message across the country, one who is just getting started.' ”
"A Chicago supporter told AP that he had “great respect for Gov. Romney, and I busted my buns for him,” said Craig Duchossois, whose wife contributed $250,000 to a pro-Romney super PAC while he collected tens of thousands more for Romney’s last campaign. “But I have turned the page' ”
Scott Walker Rejects Your Premise "The conventional wisdom after Republicans lost two presidential elections to Barack Obama was that the GOP needed to concede the premise of certain Democratic talking points. Suddenly immigration reform became urgent enough for a prospective GOP candidate to lead the effort in the Senate. And even more suddenly, talk of inequality has emerged in conservative circles. But what if the conventional wisdom is wrong? What if, instead, Scott Walker is right?" . . .
Michigan Steakhouse Owner Officially Bans Michael Moore and Seth Rogen
Detroit's Brann Steakhouse announced on its outdoor marquee that it's banned Michael Moore from the restaurant for his comments ripping American Sniper. The filmmaker's reaction was swift. Before this could spread, Michael Moore apologized to McDonald's and said that Chris Kyle was a hero.
Comedian Argus Hamilton
Mediaite "If either Michael Moore or Seth Rogen are passing through Grand Rapids, Mich., and are looking for a place to eat steak, they can forget about visiting Brann’s Steakhouse and Grille. That’s because owner Tommy Brann has decided to defend the film American Sniper by banning them from his restaurant. He’s even broadcasting the news on a giant sign out front.
"He didn’t even give Rogen the courtesy of spelling his name correctly" . . .
:
Amarillo's Big Texan Restaurant asked, "you mean we can do that?"
. . . "As the hour contest came to an end, this gastronomic superman had eaten:
4 & 1/2 pounds of steak, (which is 72 oz’s) baked potato,shrimp cocktail,salad & a bread roll.
4 & 1/2 pounds of steak, (which is 72 oz’s) baked potato,shrimp cocktail,salad & a bread roll.
"In his amazement & delight of the crowd, Owner Bob (RJ) Lee stood up on a chair in the middle of the dinning room to proclaimed that: “from this day forward, anyone who could eat the entire 72 oz dinner-in one hour– gets it for FREE.
"On that date in 1962 the legendary 72oz Steak Challenge was born & to this date the contests stands strong."
Texas Muslim Capitol Day marred by anti-Islam protesters
"Islamic Sharia Law will now be practiced in the state of Texas, YES, Texas!"
Via Texas TEA Party Patriots:
Texas Muslim Capitol Day marred by anti-Islam protesters AUSTIN - They came out by the hundreds from Dallas, San Antonio and Houston, mostly women and children, girls with silver-bowed shoes and pink owl backpacks. They sang the national anthem and prayed.
But less than 20 feet from where the group of Texas Muslims gathered on the steps of the state Capitol in Austin, a small handful of protesters told them exactly how they felt about their visit.
"We don't want you here!" shouted one. Others yelled, "Go home," "ISIS will gladly take you" and "remember 9/11."
"You don't have to dress that way! Take it off!" came from a woman holding an Israeli flag. "Islam is the war on women!"
Woman Seizes Mic at Muslim Event: “Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas.”
. . . "Keep in mind that this event is sponsored by the designated terror group Hamas-Council on American-Islamic Relations. Also keep in mind that the executive director of the Houston chapter of Hamas-CAIR, Mustafaa Carroll, has gone on record to declare, “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.' ”.
What about other religions in America that have their own laws? "Get lost! Women struggle to get Jewish divorce from their Orthodox husbands. Without a get, a new marriage would be considered adultery in Orthodox Jewish community"
What about other religions in America that have their own laws? "Get lost! Women struggle to get Jewish divorce from their Orthodox husbands. Without a get, a new marriage would be considered adultery in Orthodox Jewish community"
So other religious communities, including mainline Christian denominations have their own binding laws based on divine ordinance and they should have the freedom in America to practice them.
The Jews, the Sikhs, the Amish and many others have laws applying to those in their communities that we have no reason to fear. However I know of no other religion other than Islam holding the position that their law must be applied to everybody in the world under pain of beatings or death. TD . .

Communist Party USA Chairman Vows To Work With Democrat Party To Advance Shared Communist Goals…
Weasel Zippers
. . . “ 'First, we are part of building the broadest anti-ultra right alliance possible, uniting the widest array of class (including a section of monopoly), social and democratic forces. This necessarily means working with the Democratic Party,” the communist leader explained.
“ 'Second, our objective is not to build the Democratic Party. At this stage we are about building the broad people’s movement led by labor that utilizes the vehicle of the Democratic Party to advance its agenda,” Bachtell further expounded. “We are about building the movements around the issues roiling wide sections of people that can help shape election contours and debates.”
“ '[W]e are for building movements in the electoral arena and see engagement in the electoral arena and democratic governance as a vital means to further build movements,” Bachtell also said.
"To that end, he claimed, “thousands of trade unionists have been elected” at municipal and local levels of American government. Bachtell did not note a party affiliation of these elected leaders.
"The rest of Bachtell’s declaration is mostly a somewhat modernized version of the same, garden-variety communist drivel communists have been spouting since roughly 1840." . . .
George Will: Questions for attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch
WaPo:
"Senate confirmation hearings put nominees on notice that, as a Michigan state legislator reportedly once said, “I’m watching everything you do with a fine-toothed comb.” Loretta Lynch, a talented lawyer and seasoned U.S. attorney, should be confirmed as attorney general. Her hearing, however, should not be perfunctory. Questions like the following would highlight some festering problems:" . .
One salient issue would be Will's asking what Lynch would do with regard to the "politicization and corruption of the Internal Revenue Service."
What sort of man have Obama voters elected?
Voting "present" has been a refuge for Obama for years.
The record has become an issue on the presidential campaign trail, as Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, his chief rival for the Democratic nomination, has seized on the present votes he cast on a series of anti-abortion bills to portray Mr. Obama as a “talker” rather than a “doer.”Obama Squirms to Dodge the Truth . . . "Our superficial and self-deluded political elites pretend that jihadi Islam is peaceful, just like early Buddhists did before all the monasteries were destroyed. Muslim forces have bought up our political and media class, which is why they keep lying to us about a clear and present danger.
"So Obama is blaming the victim, along with his Eurosocialist buddies in Europe. If only Israel would surrender to the phony “Palestinians” everything will be okay. For Hitler it was Czechoslovakia that had to be his to prevent war, and once he swallowed the Sudetenland he would never, ever, be nasty again. Then it was Poland. Then it was all of Europe, and ultimately it would have been America, because the Nazis had a world-conquering ideology. So did Stalin." . . . The French are finally seeing the obvious.
In Obama's Speeches, the 'I's Have It "When President Obama gives a speech, it often seems as though it's more about him than whatever subject he's supposed to be talking about.
"A case in point comes from his 33-minute talk in India, during which Obama referred to himself 118 times. That works out to once every 16.6 seconds. PJ Media managed to compile them all into one amusing 3-minute video." ...
"This is quite a feat, but it's not even close to a record for Obama.
