POSTED ON DECEMBER 3, 2015 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN DONALD TRUMP, ISLAM HUH. DONALD TRUMP WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL Donald Trump’s insistence that he saw one or more television news stories about Muslims in Jersey City celebrating the collapse of the Twin Towers in September 11 provoked outrage on the left.... Now, someone has found the TV news report that Trump probably was talking about. It is from a local station in New York and was broadcast on September 16, 2001. The report confirms that Muslims were observed celebrating the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, and...

The election of President Barack Obama will bring with it a Democrat-controlled Congress and a revised set of priorities for the various federal agencies that regulate media and advertising. The finance crisis has brought an end to the idea that markets should regulate themselves. Lobbyists, fed-watchers and CEOs say that they are already worrying about heightened scrutiny and, perhaps, new rules governing what they do. Here’s a look at the worst-case scenario for marketers under Obama. The caveat: It is unlikely that all of these things will happen; the Iraq war and healthcare are higher priorities for the new president....

INSIGHTSCredit Default Swaps: 'Financial WMDs' By Theodore F. di StefanoE-Commerce Times 10/31/08 5:30 AM PT We are all painfully aware of what is happening on Wall Street. In fact, I think that it might take several years for the stock market to regain the value that it has lost in the past year (approximately 35 percent).No doubt, there is plenty of blame to go around as to who is primarily responsible for this financial debacle. However, most experts agree that a prime candidate for blame is the credit default swap. Credit Default Swaps Explained Michael Greenberger, a former staff member...

A hedge fund manager is offering a reward of $150,000 in exchange for a tape that shows Barack Obama at a 2003 dinner for a Palestinian scholar. Aston Grimaldi II said he would pay out the money to whomever can provide a tape of the 2003 event for Rashid Khalidi, which the Los Angeles Times has written about but has refused to release. Grimaldi's offer letter is available at Dirty Harry's Place, a conservative blog. "Being an extreme fiscal conservative and somewhat of a social liberal, the number one thing to me is transparency and open government," said Grimaldi. "Those...

Obama's Bill Burton Gets Beaten Up By Megyn Kelly

Jim Nuzzo, a White House aide to the first President Bush, dismissed Mrs Palin's critics as "cocktail party conservatives" who "give aid and comfort to the enemy". He told The Sunday Telegraph: "There's going to be a bloodbath. A lot of people are going to be excommunicated. David Brooks and David Frum and Peggy Noonan are dead people in the Republican Party. The litmus test will be: where did you stand on Palin?" Mr Frum thinks that Mrs Palin's brand of cultural conservatism appeals only to a dwindling number of voters. He said: "She emerges from this election as the...

The nation’s battered economy needs an old-fashioned “Rooseveltian lift” of regulatory reforms and government spending on the infrastructure, clean energy and other sectors, U.S. Sen. John Kerry said yesterday. Kerry, facing a re-election challenge from Republican Jeff Beatty, rejected GOP calls for more tax rebates to stimulate the economy, as was done last spring. “I am for a stimulus package. I am not for a stimulus package that just sends out checks,” said Kerry at a Boston Herald editorial meeting yesterday. Instead, Kerry said the nation needs to spend more in areas that will both help the economy in the...

Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home. The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home. "All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two...

Class warfare next mission Why Powell backs Obama By Michael Graham | Tuesday, October 21, 2008 | Poor Barack Obama. With friends like these . . . No, wait, not those friends: the Rev. Wright, Williams Ayers and gang. I mean friends whom Obama will actually admit having, like “Scrappy Joe” Biden and Gen. Colin Powell. Both were talking up an Obama presidency over the weekend, but I wouldn’t call the results “Mission Accomplished.” Sen. Biden (D-Amtrak) is not exactly known for his rhetoric. He recently told supporters that Obama’s highest priority “is a three-letter word: Jobs! J-O-B-S.” He followed...

It’s not a joke,” fumed Beatty, a counterterrorism consultant and former CIA agent, during the...
