Going Viral

... "Off the top of our heads, we're thinking your garden variety death-to-America type terrorists. Because getting the highly-contagious virus into the United States could do inconceivable damage.

"But how to do it? Even an airport TSA officer is going to be made suspicious by a fuzz-filled petri dish in someone's shoe, or an alleged bottle of V-8 that is coagulating into layers of blood plasma.

"Which is why the best way to smuggle in the virus is to smuggle in someone who's infected. Sure, it could be your standard suicide vest-wearing nitwit who's anxious to start boinking virgins in the hereafter...but how much better would it be if the viral timebomb was inside a child who might not even know he or she was infected? A child whose unrestricted movement into and around our country was actually facilitated by our government?

"Consider this scenario: terrorists obtain vials of infected blood in Liberia (not hard since everything there is spinning off the rails). Transport those vials into Central America, pay off a few "coyotes," and start giving "free vitamin shots" to unsuspecting kids heading for the American border. Then just sit back and enjoy the apocalypse!" ...

Reprise: Clueless in Gaza; John Kerry has legitimized Hamas’s criminality.

Charles Krauthammer

 
... "Which is what provoked the severe criticism Kerry received at home. When as respected and scrupulously independent a national security expert as David Ignatius calls Kerry’s intervention a blunder, you know this is not partisan carping from the usual suspects. This is general amazement at Kerry’s cluelessness.
 
"Kerry seems oblivious to the strategic reality that Hamas launched its rockets in the hope not of defeating Israel but of ending its intra-Arab isolation (which it brilliantly achieves in the Qatar-Turkey peace proposal). Hamas’s radicalism has alienated nearly all of its Arab neighbors. "
....
"Remember the complaints that the heartless Israelis were not allowing enough imports of concrete for schools and hospitals? Well, now we know where the concrete went — into an astonishingly vast array of tunnels for infiltrating neighboring Israeli villages and killing civilians. (More than half a million tons, estimates the Israeli military.)"   Emphasis added, TW

You mean THIS concrete the heartless Israelis tried to block from getting into Gaza?

The tunnels have changed the balance of power: Israel is under siege by Hamas- not the Arabs who are under siege by Israel.

 But Kerry is carrying out the policies of his clueless boss, who continues to swagger and taunt before adoring crowds.
 
 

A Speech Every American High School Principal Should Give

Dennis Prager  Points one through four are covered at the link:

... "Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way — the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago — by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

"Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky — to be alive and to be an American.

Snopes points out that no principal used these words. Only that Mr. Prager would love to have one do so.

Obama's Inexplicable Love for the Dark Side    "Even the American left is finally realizing that this is the strangest administration in living memory. Obama simply has no real precedents, which is why he seems so utterly foreign. American presidents tend to be pragmatists, but Obama is locked into a simpleminded ideology of Good vs. Evil. Obama is Good, and anybody who disagrees with him is Evil.

"Much of this oddity stems from the president’s personality, which many people have described as a mix of major narcissism, borderline personality disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder."...
...
"When all is said and done, the answer is simple.

"This administration, and our political-media elites, no longer supports good against evil.

"That is why they must be fired and discredited as soon as possible."
 

Krauthammer: World’s Anti-Semitic Reaction to Gaza 'Orwellian'

Breitbart  (Video not available)   Video link

Minaret Missile
  "On Friday’s “On the Record” on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer discussed his latest Washington Post column, which criticized the role Secretary of State John Kerry has played in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

"Krauthammer pointed out the latest breach of a cease-fire by Hamas has given Kerry the opportunity to walk back some of his efforts that gave Hamas the benefit of the doubt. But the other problem for Israel has been the inability to win over public opinion around the world.

“ 'The rest of the world's reaction to what's happening in Gaza is Orwellian,” Krauthammer said. “It is shocking, especially in Europe. It is a resurgence of anti-Semitism not seen since the `30s, this is a recurrence, it's all over the world, and don't tell me its anti-Zionism. You listen to the slogan, you see the sign, Hitler was right in Germany, a sign in Germany saying that this is a veneer that is a front for anti-Semitism and it is back. It's all over the world. And that's what we're now beginning to face.

Krauthammer: Rarely does international politics present a moment of such moral clarity.    “ 'Here’s the difference between us,” explains the Israeli prime minister. “We’re using missile defense to protect our civilians and they’re using their civilians to protect their missiles.' ”

Finnigan’s War


 
"To commemorate the 60th anniversary of The Korean War, actor/filmmaker Conor Timmis sets out on a year long journey to honor his late grandfather and the heroes of America’s forgotten war. Narrated by Mark Hamill (Star Wars). 100% of all filmmaker profits go to benefit the Coalition of Families of Korean and Cold War POW/MIA’s. Interview highlights include Chosin Reservoir hero Maj. Kurt Chew-Een Lee, Medal of Honor recipient and Holocaust survivor Tibor Rubin and members of the Korean War’s all-black 2nd Rangers."

 

Taegan Goddard: The GOP's Border Spectacle

Not encouraging. How can a president so unqualified to run this country have succeeded in tying his opposition into such knots?

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
 
Political Wire : Wall Street Journal editorial: "Republicans should be heading toward a November election victory, perhaps even a big one, adding to their House majority and maybe picking up the six or more seats necessary to control the Senate. Yet never underestimate their ability to save the day for Democrats, not least by showcasing the GOP's immigration neuralgia... the GOP again gave the country the impression that its highest policy priority is to deport as many children as rapidly as possible back from wherever they came."

"House Republicans may have scrambled enough on Friday to save themselves from a total meltdown. But this latest immigration debacle won't help the party's image, which is still recovering from the government shutdown debacle of 2011. A party whose preoccupation is deporting children is going to alienate many conservatives, never mind minority voters."

Sadly, the rest of the WSJ article is subscription only. Perhaps this source will open.

The party melts down one more time over immigration.  "Republicans should be heading toward a November election victory, perhaps even a big one, adding to their House majority and maybe picking up the six or more seats necessary to control the Senate. Yet never underestimate their ability to save the day for Democrats, not least by showcasing the GOP's immigration neuralgia.

"The House GOP looked ready Friday to pass a bill to address the influx of children over the Southwest border, though not before providing another spectacle of internal disarray. The bill should have been a moment to redirect attention to President Obama's cynical handling of the border problem and to the Democratic Party's immigration divisions. Instead the GOP again gave the country the impression that its highest policy priority is to deport as many children as rapidly as possible back from wherever they came.

It Wasn't Pretty, But It Worked: How the Right Won the Summer Immigration Battle

 
... "Conservatives capitalized on a perfect storm of the new House GOP leadership team's inability to whip enough votes Thursday and the hardline stance of key conservatives. Their effort was aided by aggressive movement activists, the conservative media, and a national mood against President Barack Obama — which led many Americans to call their representatives demanding they come up with a solution to the ongoing crisis at the border.

"And once the House GOP conference united on a plan, House Democrats went into overdrive Friday in an attempt to derail the new united GOP front." ...
    
Yet it appears Mr. Obama is the one gloating every day.

The Wicked Witch of the House in Meltdown

Gulag Bound    ... Ms. Pelosi "actually chased Rep. Tom Marino across the House floor, screeching that she took offense at his comments. I don’t know why… all he said was the truth. That she did nothing to prevent the border crisis when she was House leader and that she couldn’t be bothered to research anything period. Truth hurts, doesn’t it dearie? Break down in decorum doesn’t quite cover it. Heh.

"Good times from the esteemed Mr. Marino:"  
... “You know something that I find quite interesting about the other side? Under the leadership of the former Speaker [Pelosi], and under the leadership of their former leader [Rep. Steny Hoyer], when in 2009 and 2010, they had the House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem existed,” he continued. “They didn’t have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now.”...

 


Gaza ethnic cleansing of Christians

The story the Western media is not telling.

Legal Insurrection    "The ethnic cleansing of Christians in Gaza by Hamas and other Islamists is a story rarely told in Western media.

"It doesn’t fit the dishonest media narrative of Hamas and its supporters being victims.
This report by Israeli channel i24, which we have been using for a live feed during the current war, is from January 2014:"
 

 
"It’s part of a pattern throughout the Middle East."

5 Ways Muslims Have Contributed to ‘Building the Very Fabric of Our Nation’

Why did Columbus set sail? Because the fall of Constantinople to Jihadists in 1453 closed the trade routes to the East.

PJ Media    "Last Sunday, in his message congratulating Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan, Barack Obama wrote: “Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy.” That’s right: he said “many achievements and contributions.” I could only think of five. Maybe you will be able to think of some more."  

5. Getting us here in the first place`

"This one predates the United States as a nation, but without it, the United States would not exist. Every schoolchild knows, or used to know, that in 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America while searching for a new, westward sea route to Asia. But why was he searching for a new route to Asia? Because the fall of Constantinople to the Muslims in 1453 closed the trade routes to the East. This was devastating for European tradesmen, who had until then traveled to Asia for spices and other goods by land. Columbus’s voyage was trying to ease the plight of these merchants by bypassing the Muslims altogether and making it possible for Europeans to reach India by sea."
 

The Hamas Plan: Victimhood

American Thinker  " Here is a picture that is making the rounds. I can't vouch for its authenticity. It purports to be the picture of a man who may or may not be the children's father, literally hanging them on what is reported to be his house in order to prevent Israeli forces from shelling his home."
 
"How could Israel have counter attacked with hundreds of hostages, women and children in Hamas' hands? Hamas would have been able to say for every bullet you fire we will kill one child  -- and show you his mutilated body. We will execute him and post it on YouTube. What would Israel have done? What could it have done?
"But there was one problem with that plan. It was so horrifically barbaric that the entire world would have been against Hamas. They had to find a way in which to turn such barbarism into " resistance" into the only way these victims of Zionist aggression could fight back against tanks [and] fighter planes."

When Obama voters apologize

Richard Kline  "A good friend of mine apologized to me today.  You see, he voted for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2008 election and he lives in a so-called “swing state.”  He told me that he had not voted for Obama in the 2012 election, but that he realized that by supporting him in 2008, he had help unleash a deadly virus onto the American scene.  He simply said he was sorry."
...
"But now our greater fears about Mr. Obama are confirmed.  He has made his way through this world by lying and deceiving.  There are no childhood friends recalling their growing up together.  There are no college classmates reminiscing about dear old Occidental, Columbia, or Harvard. Obama is a manufactured fraud.

"There is only the Chicago political machine and the Reverend Wrights of this world to partially fill in the many blanks where Obama was and what was he doing.  Mr. Obama didn’t even write his famed Dreams from My Father.  He simply has no documentable accomplishments to justify his political rise to power.  Yet, the American people twice elected him to the highest office in our land.  How did this happen? "   Full article...
