Genny Werner is a caring and kind mother who works very hard to meet her needs. She has held steady, high pressure jobs and is a kind person who no one has ever made an allegation against. A few years ago, she got married and later had an extended vacation in Florida with her husband. That’s where her nightmare began. -- Yomin Postelnik is a rabbi and activist who used to live in South Florida and connected Genny with Shulevitz. A former foster parent, he’s the only one to have actually filed a report against JAFCO with the state, detailing...

Yomin Postelnik's columns on many subjects often challenge one's outlook. Most see that as a positive thing. But in the worldview of the left, which views any opposition as a nuisance that needs to be crushed, such outspoken activism has become cause for attack. Attacks on Yomin's columns and on him personally weren't unprecedented. A few years ago a particular atheist group went on a relentless campaign to ban his columns and to smear him personally. They accomplished little, other than proving the original point of his column that touched it all off, that atheists do not act or...

Well placed sources within the RPOF, as well as other well-informed confidants have disclosed to the Shark Tank the nature of some of the probable expenditures that were incurred by disgraced former RPOF Chairman Jim Greer and Governor Charlie Crist in the yet to be released RPOF AMEX statements.To refresh your memories, it was several weeks ago that an unnamed source, probably from within the RPOF, intentionally leaked Senate candidate Marco Rubio’s RPOF AMEX statements from 2005-2008 to the media. It is near impossible to deny that this highly selective leak to the media of only one RPOF members’ AMEX...

On Tuesday night, devastation struck the island of Haiti. As soon as news broke, Tom Garcia, candidate for Congress in Florida’s 24th district, got in touch with other candidates across the state and established a coalition for Haitian relief. The candidates discussed a strategy for relief for half of the night. At 1:00 am, the plan was finalized, Garcia had located a water purification expert who had led other disaster relief missions, a Cessna was filled with high-level purifiers and the two flew into Port au Prince. Touching ground, Garcia, a former naval commander, spent the first day distributing food...

Rep. John Mica says that the White House is stonewalling Congress on information about preparedness in view of the attempted terror attack. The TSA doesn't have a head, but only because it took 9 months to find a nominee. Senator DeMint has placed a hold on this nominee in an effort to ensure that the TSA is not unionized, which would put its role in protecting our national security at risk if there were ever a strike or even if a TSA employee needed to be fired.

Why politics shouldn't trump terror. Washington Examiner calls for her resignation

Robert Stacy McCain, "the other McCain" has a searing piece on Obama and liberals. They care far less about terror than they care about their own political reputations. And those are the ones that care about terror at all. From the American Spectator:

One has to marvel at the opening graph of this Politico story: Growing evidence that the Nigerian man charged with trying to blow up a commercial airliner as it landed in Detroit Friday spent time in Yemen and may have been fitted with customized, explosive-laden clothing there could complicate the U.S. government’s efforts to send home more than 80 Yemeni prisoners currently at Guantanamo Bay. Yes, reality is complicating the Obama administration’s war on terror policies. It must be maddening to the Obami that they are presented once again with inconvenient evidence that their insistence on emptying Guantanamo of dangerous...

The conviction that Jewish settlements in the West Bank are illegal is now so commonly accepted, it hardly seems as though the matter is even open for discussion. But it is. Decades of argument about the issue have obscured the complex legal question about which a supposedly overwhelming verdict of guilty has been rendered against settlement policy. There can be no doubt that this avalanche of negative opinion has been deeply influenced by the settlements’ unpopularity around the world and even within Israel itself. Yet, while one may debate the wisdom of Israeli settlements, the idea that they are imprudent...

Debka has an exclusive report on the Iranian uprising http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=1416 covering the key players of the insurgency, the death tolls and the various sides. One question that comes to mind reading all of the information on the resistance movement (not Debka) is whether extremists are trying to hijack the resistance movement. After all, Mousavi was a Revolutionary leader of the last Ayatollah. From the Debka Report: "The current upsurge of violence across Iran is the most dangerous yet because for the first time demonstrators are turning round to attack security forces, the Revolutionary Guardsmen and Basijj paramilitaries.

14 December 2009: Once aboard the plane, they spoke loudly in Arabic. They changed seats without authorization. They roamed the plane over the objections of the flight attendants, entering the first class area without permission or legitimate purpose. They moved their stowed luggage from the overhead bins for no apparent reason. One even attempted to open the cockpit door, explaining that he mistakenly thought it was the lavatory. Their behavior was described as disruptive and suspicious, which so alarmed the flight crew that the Muslim passengers were removed from the airplane by order of the captain.

Marion Thorpe’s Bounced Checks and Unsavory Fundraising Stunts Now Online The Marion Thorpe fiasco is one of the saddest stories in American politics. It started when a midlevel appointee, Marion Thorpe, claimed that he had been the Chief Medical Officer of the State of Florida and announced a run, first for U.S. Congress and then for the United States Senate. In actuality, Thorpe had only been the Chief Medical Officer for Florida’s Agency for Healthcare, an advisory position that reports to a Deputy Secretary of that department. It ended with bounced campaign checks and some of the most vile fundraising...

Group of Florida Activists Ask Marion Thorpe to Withdraw from US Senate Race Amid Allegations of Check Bouncing and of Requesting Funds to Pay Child Support Local activists urge long shot Marion Thorpe to abandon US Senate race, claim that he’s disgraced the contest. Marion Thorpe had no major endorsers statewide to begin with but efforts were being made to obtain them. Then on Monday, American Daily Review broke a story of Marion Thorpe having bounced two checks on his printer for his congressional campaign. Each check was allegedly for about $5,000. Soon after, emails surfaced in Thorpe’s own words...

Freedom of expression is under attack. This is theme I am addressing here in America this week as part of the Free Speech Summit being held in Florida under the sponsorship of the Florida Security Council. And it is clear that a serious discussion of the threats to our freedoms in the West cannot come too soon. For example, my friend Rep. Adam Hasner, the majority leader of the Florida House of Representatives was attacked in a press release issued by the national office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Monday for daring to appear at a private...
