RAMALLAH, West Bank (WNB) - A Facebook post by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has apparently ignited bitter infighting between the PA and Islamic forces united with them against Israel. The post, intended to encourage the Islamic factions battling Israel, features a stylized image of three Islamic fighters with the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of Rock in the background. The conflict appears to be based on the fact the fighters are wearing colorful thongs and presumably gay. Shortly after the post appeared on Facebook, Hamas and Islamic jihad fighters attacked Palestinian Authority offices, providing Israel with a welcome lull in...

Frustrated by the senseless slaughter of innocent Palestinians in Gaza, President Obama advances His Grand Solution.Because of Israel's unprecedented slaughter and maiming of countless innocent Palestinians in Gaza -- guilty of nothing more than honoring their leaders' entirely reasonable requests to help end the Zionist occupation directly, or indirectly by remaining or assembling in the vicinity of rockets, rocket launchers and other religious necessities -- President Obama today offered His Grand Solution to the Zionist Aggression Problem (GS-ZAP). This Executive Decree was released only moments ago by Orgasms for Obama Organizing for Activity, a bipartisan think tank specializing in religious and political freedom: Executive Decree Number 2014 - 19,878This Executive Decree...

Outraged by what they characterized as the Supreme Court’s improper application of the Constitution’s freedom of religion clause in the Hobby Lobby case, Senate Democrats are drafting a bill to overturn the Court’s ruling. Sponsor of the bill, Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash) declared that “a boss’s role in health care is confined to paying for it. He has no business deciding that he won’t pay for certain medical therapies because they offend his sense of morality. My bill restores the full authority over which medical treatments will or won’t be covered to the government where it belongs.” Senator Charles Schumer...

Asserting that "it would be inhumane for us to force these innocent immigrant children to sleep on substandard beds," Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell has requested an appropriation of "$1,000 per migrant in order to fund minimally acceptable accommodations." "Many of these immigrant children have already suffered from improper sleeping arrangements for most of their lives," Burwell said. "In the countries they come from it is common for multiple children to be crammed into a single bed of straw, be slung on hammocks, or simply left to sleep on the ground." Burwell characterized the "military style cots and...

Busy weekend here, so you’re on your own. Take your stream of consciousness for a walk. (And in response to yesterday’s petition, the answer is no. There will be no “simian reference” amnesty.)To get you started, here’s a butt to butt comparison of the two First Ladies Of The Big ‘Ole Butt (FLOTBOB) at the League of United Latin American Citizens convention luncheon in New York yesterday:        The first lady also reproached the Republican-run House of Representatives for failing to pass the immigration reform measures that have already cleared the Senate, and for its hesitance to approve her husband’s $3.7...

A quick look around the righty-blogosphere at Reaganite Republican...

President Obama has faced criticism for refusing to visit sites in Texas where hordes of illegal immigrants have been flooding into the country. The criticism has been especially pointed in light of the fact that he has traveled to the state to participate in political fund raisers at the home of Austin-based filmmaker Robert Rodriguez and two other in-state locations. Presidential Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained that “the President’s presence at the border would not be a good use of his time. It’s not as if anything he might see there is going to change his mind about immigration reform....

Big Guy visited Colorado and Texas this week, where he took every opportunity to not visit the border and emphatically avoided providing any leadership with regards to the border crisis. Never being a man goaded into action by a bipartisan demand that he do his job, he chose to spend his time instead pointing out the fecklessness of Republicans.“The best thing you can say for them is this year they have not shut down the government,” Obama said, adding, “but it’s only July.” Uh, sir, everyone’s talking about the illegal aliens crossing the border, not the Republicans.Whatever. "You hear some...

Is she nuts?  Fox News

President Obama demands that Israel stop using WMDs and other disproportionate means to oppress the peace-loving Palestinians. Not yet recovered from His exhausting fund-raising trip to Texas, President Obama summoned barely enough energy this morning to direct The Really Honorable I.M. Totus to prepare an address for Him. He insisted that it complain bitterly but even-evenhandedly about Israel's disproportionate and hence genocidal responses to missiles for peace and unification fired by Hamas and friends. President Obama has long been well aware of Israel's problems and has often supported her by offering guidance on the best ways to reject violence and to work instead for peace and tranquility. Here, for example, is...

Call it Blind Optics. The DUmmies and KOmmies are so desperate to make Texas Governor Rick Perry look bad that they overlook the fact that Obama looks horrible in the photos above and below. These photos were taken by Reuters during the B order Crises meeting yesterday. Normally the Regime would have prohibited these pics of Obama not taking the border crises seriously but apparently they have the same narrow mindset as the DUmmies and KOmmies because they focused in on Perry looking upset and thought that was a "win" for them. Actually it is turning into a bigtime...

Believe me, I appreciate the fact that you adhere to my “no simian references” rule when commenting. I especially appreciate the restraint that is required when dealing with situations that some might take to be flagrant “taunting.”  Take yesterday, for example; when BO was hanging with Governor Hickenlooper and just whistling Dixie past all the grave yards: As you can see, creeper managed to rein herself in, adhering to the letter of the law if not the intent. Butt apparently somebody didn’t get the memo:Maybe because he was busy, drinking with the white boy. And please, no racist “Hickenlooper” jokes...

Here's a video of Michael Davis performing at the Ford Theater. Former President Ronald Reagan, Mrs. Reagan and Tip O'Neil and Mrs. O'Neil laughed unreservedly. Watching the video, so did I. It's a refreshingly old-fashioned type of humor. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6mbW-jMtrY&w=640&h=390] Video link

Two important things you should be aware of today:1) Brazil takes a spectacular dive in the world cup; tears flow now, riots to follow.Maybe if the fans hadn’t all decided to wear elf hats…the team would have tried a little harder.There’s certainly enough blame to spread around (one of soccer’s virtues as I understand it) butt I blame the haters like Ann Coulter, who’s obsessed with hating on soccer: (h/t Gerard) The same people trying to push soccer on Americans are the ones demanding that we love HBO's "Girls," light-rail, Beyonce and Hillary Clinton. The number of New York Times articles...

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing Wisconsin Plastics, Inc. of Green Bay, Wisconsin for discriminating against non-native persons by insisting that employees must be conversant in English in order to hold jobs with the company. Jacqueline Berrien, EEOC Chairperson dismissed the possibility that some minimal competence in the English language might be a legitimate skill required of an employee. "Whether an employee understands English is a matter of convenience for the business,":Berrien explained. "Granted, conducting business in a single language might be more efficient. But the individual's right to speak whatever language he chooses is a human right....

(Based an actual encounter in an inner-city Trenton, NJ charter school). A poem.Keeper of Names By Steve Peacock Why do so many black students’ names end with “-quan” and “-asia,” the middle-aged white teacher inquires of the sole black educator in the break room. As I understand it, she replies humbly, (so as not to claim expertise on the matter), “quan,” like “DaeQuan,” has African roots. But what about “asia”? We’ve got Ta’Asia, Ti’Asia, Sequasia, Shyasia? I am truly unsure, she says. Still, he persists. There’s also Arquasia, Tintasia, and… I said I don’t know. Then there’s Quintasia, Sashasia… Oh...
