NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM--All of it. not west, not east, not north, not south. ALL OF IT. NOT SHARED!!!! “In every generation, one rises up to destroy us.” "Therefore they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with forced labor. They built supply cities, Pithom and Rameses, for Pharaoh." Probably referring to Rahm

Obama's friends Dem Jews' Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Chinese leader Dalai Lama get backdoor treatment at the White House, but among those getting front door treatment, according to White House visitors' records, are Billy Ayers, Louis Farrakhan and family, Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton and Jesse ("Hymietown") Jackson. There are consequential, disturbing revelations to be found when flipping through the visitors list at the White House. Bill Ayers is there no less than three times, Louis Farrakhan at least once, but there is also a separate visit for his family, and the infamous hater Jeremiah Wright is there at least...

What will he say when he gets to 'Next Year in Jerusalem'? About ten days ago, I posted an open letter from David Wilder, the spokesman of the Hebron Jewish community, in which Wilder asked a number of pointed questions about the Pesach seder of Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, President Obama's court Jews. The questions included the following: What I really want to know is not how you begin your family Seder, rather, how you end it. Normally, Jews finish the night’s ceremony declaring “Next year in Jerusalem” or Next year in the rebuilt Jerusalem.” Rahm Emanual and David...

Passover Hagaddah conclusion “Next Year in Jerusalem” deemed “unhelpful” by Obama administration March 23, 2010 By The Associated Press Shana Habbab (AP White House Correspondent) (AP) — An unidentified Israeli official has confirmed that private discussions between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu included a strong request from the President that the upcoming Passover holiday not include the familiar refrain of “next year in Jerusalem”, citing the passage as being provocative and unhelpful for future peace talks.The Administration suggested replacing it with “next year in peace” or “next year in Israel”, but leaving the final wording up to...

Republicans’ Common-Sense Reforms Will LOWER HEALTH CARE COSTS Americans want a step-by-step, common-sense approach to health care reform, not Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s costly, 1,990-page government takeover of our nation’s health care system. Republicans’ alternative solution focuses on lowering health care premiums for families and small businesses, increasing access to affordable, high-quality care, and promoting healthier lifestyles – without adding to the crushing debt Washington has placed on our children and grandchildren. Following are the key elements of Republicans’ alternative plan: • Lowering health care premiums. The GOP plan will lower health care premiums for American families and small businesses, addressing...

I joined my wife to watch the olympics, and suddenly NBC switched from hockey coverage to a Bob Costas set piece and then to a nauseating vignette about this coastal islands logging industry. What gives? what does this have to do about sports? I understand that about 25 years ago the networks/IOC decided that male viewers were inelastic operators and would watch sports no matter how detestable-think synchronized swimming- but that female viewers were the target growth demographic. Out went live boxing coverage, and in went taped "readers digest" excerpts hosted by John Tesh in a variety show studio replete...

Has Obama earned Orthodox Jews’ distrust? No love lost By Michael Orbach Pundits may wonder whether buyer’s remorse has set in among the 78 percent of Jews who voted for President Obama in the 2008 election, but one segment of the Jewish population never made the purchase in the first place. And one year into the president’s term, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be buying anytime soon. Prior to the election in 2008 a poll conducted by the American Jewish Committee revealed that only 13 percent of Orthodox Jews said they would support Obama. After the election, the Orthodox Union...

The jewicidal Marty Peretz, the archetype of the Jewish liberal, is SHOCKED! shocked, I tell ya, to find Obama is ........... anti-Israel. This asshattery would be knee-slappingly funny if the stakes weren't so high. The Jewish liberals helped deliver this misojudaist (Jew hater) to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and are responsible for the dramatic rise in global anti-Jewish life. Maybe I’m Getting Paranoid … About Obama Marty Peretz, TNR I just read the transcript of the president's remarks about Haiti, the ones he made on January 15. He noted that, in addition to assistance from the United States, significant aid had...

WHO'S MEANER, INSURANCE BUREAUCRATS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS? I've never understood why liberals think that entrusting their health care to government employees will result in more generous or compassionate treatment. Insurance companies have to compete, after all, while there is only one federal government. Now, the Independent Institute cites data from the American Medical Association's National Health Insurer Report Card that indicate Medicare denies claims at twice the rate of private insurance companies: According to the American Medical Association's National Health Insurer Report Card for 2008, the government's health plan, Medicare, denied medical claims at nearly double the average for private...

Ehud Barak's Altalena Before I get into this post, I wish to take the opportunity to remind any surviving Altalena attackers and supporters of that attack that they ought to do a serious חשבון נפש "cheshbon nefesh," accounting of the soul, their deeds. There is nothing worse than acts of Jews against Jews, and no fancy liberal-sounding terminology can excuse it. The Leftists love throwing that burden on us proud patriotic Right wing Israelis and Jews, but history and current events show that they are the guilty ones, not us. Menachem Begin and Irgun and Revisionist followers raised money and...

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) hurries to catch a flight after voting on Capitol Hill. | Photo by APClose Sen. Chuck Schumer loves the sound of his own voice, but it carried a bit farther than he might have liked on the US Airways shuttle from New York to Washington on Sunday. According to a House Republican aide who happened to be seated nearby, the notoriously chatty New York Democrat referred to a flight attendant as a “bitch” after she ordered him to turn off his phone before takeoff. Schumer and his seatmate, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), were chatting on their...

Did anyone else notice that both the Democrats and the MSM simultaneously spellchecked "global warming" out of existence?

Obama Using Race As A Weapon Against Opposition Ironically, Obama's team is more race conscious than the opposition. Reverse discrimination is still that, racial discrimination. Just because Obama is (half) Black doesn't mean he should be immune from criticism. And just because someone criticizes him or his policies, doesn't mean that the person is looking at the color of his skin. U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama and his fans have a colored chip on their shoulders. If Obama had been white, Hispanic or Asian, he never would have gotten nominated and certainly not elected. Maybe with a decade or more...

Kennedy—Kessler paints a picture of what our presidents are like when no one is looking. They're always watching. We learn from the agents Kessler interviews that John F....

Obama: Health Care Plan Would Give Seniors Right To Choose How They Are Killed JUST CLICK HERE ASK THE OBAMA-MAGIC 8-BALL! O.K. So it's the Onion... still closer to the truth than MSNBC or Fox. Obama: Health Care Plan Would Give Seniors Right To Choose How They Are Killed President Barack Obama held a nationally televised address Tuesday to "clarify any misunderstandings" about his health care proposal, assuring Americans that under the new bill senior citizens—and not the federal government—will have the right to choose how they are executed. Enlarge Image Obama The president vows to systematically eliminate all American...

Who Came in Second? —Ace A lot of people are asking that. Wedon't know who placed, but here's some of the rest of the field. Chinese Human Rights Activist Hu Jia - imprisoned for campaigning for human rights in the PRC, not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama. Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. -- not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama. (Not to mention the symbolic value of awarding a Chinese dissident on the 20th Anniversary of the Tianenmen Square Massacre.) Greg Mortenson, founder of the Central Asia Institute...

Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize: He’s Becoming Jimmy Carter Faster Than Jimmy Carter Did. I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news. There is no way Barack Obama earned it in the nominations period. Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. The deadline for nominations was two weeks after he was sworn in as President. So in less than two weeks of entering office, Obama did something to qualify. What was it? Not closing Gitmo? Continuing the Bush administration’s...

In an unprecidented move, both the National and American Leagues awarded President Barack Obama the Cy Young Award. Speculation exists that he will also receive the MVP Award. When asked to comment, senior aide Rahm Emmanuel stated that MLB knew from Obama's Mom Jeans that he wasn't taking performance enhancing drugs.
