Tuesday, briefly

Can you say “projection”? I knew you could: The Mad Mullah-in-chief of Iran is accusing the EU of being stuck in the 19th century. Of course, the proper response to that is, “Nyah-nyah, that’s 12 centuries ahead of you!” And … Continue reading

10/11/12 briefs

Hypocrisy, thy name is Erdogan: So, Turkey gets shelled by Syria, and then Turkey shells Syria–not unlike what Israel does to Gaza. Now, Turkey has forced down a Syrian airliner that it suspected was carrying weapons–not unlike Israel refusing to … Continue reading

You can’t spin this threat, Iranian apologists

Spinning Iran: Lalala, we can’t HEAR you!

It never ceases to amaze me how credulous the mainstream media sources are when it comes to news reporting on Iran. Here’s what the AFP has to say about Iran and Argentina making nice at the UN session this week, … Continue reading

Fraternizing with the enemy

No one out there can say that Iran is a friend or ally of the United States. You would think that would stop Americans from giving him the soapbox he so desperately craves to bash the United States and Israel. … Continue reading

Same-old, same-old briefs

France’s Jews, under attack: French Muslims threw a grenade into a kosher supermarket and wounded Jewish shoppers. But it’s Muslims who are being discriminated against and attacked–because someone made a film that they don’t like. Leave France. It isn’t safe … Continue reading

The my cover’s not done so I’m still here briefs

Oh, please: Naivete from an intellectual who should certainly know better. Bernard-Henri Levy on how the AP owes Jews an apology for spreading the lie that “Sam Bacile” was an Israeli and had financing from “100 Jews” for his anti-Muhammed … Continue reading

New year, same old media bias

The AP is alerting the world that Israel is in violation of the Camp David peace treaty. Why? Because El Al doesn’t want to fly to Cairo under the current anti-Israel government. Nobody in Israel wants to fly there, and … Continue reading

The “protest” that wasn’t and the libel that is

The so-called Islamist protests (I hate when they call a rampaging mob “protesters”) that murdered four Americans appear to be as fake as the outrage against the Mohammed cartoons. If you will recall, the cartoons had been out for months … Continue reading

The Islamist Spring

Wow, that Arab Spring was awesome, wasn’t it? We helped Libya defeat Moammar Gadhaffi, and they helped themselves to murder our ambassador and three other Americans. Why? Because they’re pissed off at a film that insults Mohammed released by an … Continue reading

I told you so: The U.S. is not abandoning Israel

Told you my bullshit detector was pegged on high over yesterday’s report that claimed if Iran didn’t attack U.S. installations, we’d stand by as they retaliated if Israel bombed their nuke sites. Reuters reports today that I was right. “It’s … Continue reading

Tuesday civility briefs

Say, remember all that talk from the left about civility? Yeah, that’s why the head of California’s Democratic party called Paul Ryan a Nazi. Ryan told “a bold-faced lie and he doesn’t care that it was a lie. That was … Continue reading
