Chase sued him in September after he defaulted on $200,000 loan The suspect in the Times Square bombing attempt defaulted on a $200,000 mortgage on his Connecticut home, court records show, and that the property is now in foreclosure. The foreclosure records show Faisal Shahzad took out the mortgage on a home in Shelton, Conn., in 2004, and he co-owned the home with a woman named Huma Mian. Chase Home Finance LLC sued Shahzad in September to force the foreclosure. The case is pending in Milford Superior Court. Former neighbors described him as a family man who reportedly said he...

CNN anchor: "It can confirmed that his house has been foreclosed in recent years. I mean, one would have to imagine that brought a lot of pressure and a lot of heartache on that family."

Chase sued him in September after he defaulted on $200,000 loan. The suspect in the Times Square bombing attempt defaulted on a $200,000 mortgage on his Connecticut home and the Shelton property is now in foreclosure, according to court records. The foreclosure records show Faisal Shahzad took out the mortgage on a home in Shelton, Conn., in 2004, and he co-owned the home with a woman named Huma Mian.

The American left must be disappointed this morning to learn that the suspect in the failed Times Square bombing is not the longed-for "Caucasian male" right wing extremist. Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American citizen of Pakistani origin, most likely has never attended a tea party, and so far as we know is not on record opposing ObamaCare. Mr. Shahzad did, however, recently spend some months in his native Pakistan. A thirty year-old, he reportedly owns homes in Shelton and Bridgeport, Connecticut, largely working class communities in the wealthiest state in the union. A man of property, able to travel the...

In another blow to the Obama regime’s attempt to blame whitey for all of the country’s ills (Hey, if such respected media outlets as the Washington Post and CNN can play the race card, so can I), the “Health Care Protester” the Left fervently prayed for in the “Case of the Bungled Time Square Bomb”, turns out to be 30 year old Faisal Somethingorother from, wait for it, Pakistan. Like the two white males we were desperately seeking during the sniper in attacks in Maryland and Virgina, we wonder how much time was wasted looking for a Tea Party connection...

When the Times Square story first broke there was a part of me that said, “Man, I hope it’s not some white militia nutjob.” When I saw the news this morning that it was a Pakistani, the same small part of me was relieved. I don’t want to speak for many conservatives on this, but I know I’m speaking for more than just myself. And, I will simply assert that I believe lots of liberals had something very close to the opposite series of reactions (here’s one small example of what I’m talking about). If this had been some Tim...

An Islamic terrorist named Faisal Shahzad is the Time Square bomber according to media reports. He is Muslim of Pakistani heritage with dual citizenship in the United States, a registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut who may be an Obama donor. He was recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Obama administration’s lenient open door policy. Shahzad Faisal as identified by NBC News, or Faisal Shahzad as identified by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, is a U.S. citizen of Pakistani origin. He was arrested at JFK airport in New York trying to flee the country back to Pakistan...

OH PLEASE: CNN Anchors Wonder If Times Square Bombing Suspect Was Stressed From Being Foreclosed On Vince Veneziani May. 4, 2010, 11:35 AM Turns out that Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad was upset because his home was being foreclosed on. Boohoo. Here's an idea: next time, try not being an (alleged) terrorist. "It can confirmed that his house has been foreclosed in recent years. I mean, one would have to imagine that brought a lot of pressure and a lot of heartache on that family." "Yeah, she said July of 2009 they left and then shortly after that they...

Still tracking down that news but one thing is clear: he wasn't a Tea Partier!There are reports that Faisal Shahzad, the failed Time Square bomber was a registered Democrat in Connecticut and may be a donor to Obama's campaign. This comes after the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg openly speculated that the bomber might be “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something." Coming on the heels of repeated warnings from Obama, Bill Clinton and others that Tea Parties might lead to violence it was only natural for libs to assume this attack...

MSNBC host Contessa Brewer appeared on the liberal Stephanie Miller radio show on Tuesday and lamented the fact that the person arrested for the attempted Times Square bombing is a Pakistani American. She complained, "I get frustrated...There was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country." [Audio available here.] Brewer continued, "...There are a lot of people who want to use terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way....

The American left must be disappointed this morning to learn that the suspect in the failed Times Square bombing is not the longed-for "Caucasian male" right wing extremist. Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American citizen of Pakistani heritage registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut , most likely has never attended a tea party, and so far as we know is not on record opposing ObamaCare. Mr. Shahzad did, however, recently spend some months in his native Pakistan. I thought for sure it was that Amish terrorist again, or that 80 year old tea partier, or he was really upset by...

Paging Captain Obama!....Paging Captain Obama! How are your buddies in the media gonna spin this one Shirlock?

I know that no one gets tired of this, but we have some brilliant-- and I mean brilliant comments off of the left-wing site Crooks and Liars. So the original post said this: You know, I don't want to jump to conclusions here, because that would make me too much like Matt Drudge. But if the car bomber was indeed a white guy in his 40s who didn't know the difference between ammonium nitrate and plain old fertilizer, I'm thinking it's gotta be a Beck Patriot who was trying to water the tree of liberty with... the blood of random...

Mayor Michael Bloomberg says New York City "will not tolerate any bias" following the arrest of a U.S. citizen from Pakistan in the Times Square car bombing attempt. Bloomberg said Tuesday that also applies to potential backlash against Muslim New Yorkers. The mayor said there are "a few bad apples" among any groups. He also cited New York's long history of accepting cultures from the around the world.

Brian Maloney gives us this entry for the Someone Left the Irony On Department, in which Contessa Brewer tells Stephanie Miller that she’s really unhappy that she couldn’t use the Times Square bombing attempt to prove Tea Party “bigotry.” Never mind that this clip shows the bigotry of Brewer in relation to conservatives — that all of the opponents of Barack Obama and the Democrats are somehow the equivalent of the Hutaree militia in Michigan. Brewer really wanted a way to smear conservatives, and now she’ll just have to wait a little longer:

MSNBC's Contessa Brewer appeared on the Stephanie Miller radio show, a small syndicated left-wing talker, and during her appearance she expressed her "frustration" that the Times Square bomber was a Pakistani terrorist instead of a white person. Apparently Brewer had hoped that a new Tim McVeigh perhaps coming from the Tea Party movement would turn out to be responsible for the attempted bombing in New York instead of just another boring ol' radical Islamist terrorist. Brewer told the lefty radio host, "there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any...

The billionaire hedge fund manager at the center of an alleged fraud hatched at Goldman Sachs, a leading investment bank, has given tens of thousands of dollars to both parties. Campaign fundraising records show that John A. Paulson, founder and chairman of the hedge fund Paulson & Co., gave $30,400 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in June, qualifying him as a major Democratic donor. He also gave $2,300 to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) reelection campaign in February of last year and $4,800 to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) last April, according to records filed at...

Megyn Kelly believes Holder is entitled to have civilian trials for GITMO detainees. This is flat WRONG. While those detained as enemy combatants are entitled to the writ of habeas corpus to contest their designation as "enemy combatants" in civilian courts per 5/4 SC vote in Boumediene v. Bush, they are to be tried under the Military Commissions Act of 2006, so long as the procedures are analogous to the rules applicable to courts-martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice per 5/3 vote in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (with CJ Roberts not participating).

BRASILIA, Brazil – Brazil vowed Wednesday not to "bow down" to gathering international pressure to impose new economic penalties on Iran over its nuclear program if further negotiations might be fruitful. With visiting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton standing beside him, Brazil's foreign minister said his country is concerned about Iran's nuclear intentions. But Foreign Minister Celso Amorim (SELL-so ah-more-EEM) says Brazil will make its own decision on Iran.

Another Far Left Nut Jim Hoft says Eric Holder has hired another far left nut. Jennifer Daskal (photo) is a radical far left American lawyer who serves as senior counsel for Human Rights Watch, and focuses on issues of terrorism, criminal law and immigration.  She is also currently a political hire at Eric Holder’s Department of Justice, which is seeking to prosecute terror suspects through the criminal justice system instead of through military tribunals. In 2008, Daskal claimed that Khalid Sheikh Mohammad was tortured and recommended that his guilty plea be thrown out of court.  Now this radical is working...
