US Congress: Hypocritical support of Israel

No less than 189 congressmen signed a letter asking the White House for assurances that the weapons being sold to Wahhabites won’t be used to harm Israel.

Everyone feels good:

- Obama got still cozier relations with the Saudis by selling them weapons
- the Saudis got cutting-edge weapons
- Iran has gotten the hint that the Americans and Saudis have switched to containment and won’t bomb its nuclear facilities
- AIPAC justified its existence by amassing great support for the letter among congressmen
- the congressmen got to show their support for Israel at no cost to themselves. Next time they vote for a pro-Arab bill, they will justify that as a balanced position
- the White House does not care a bit about such letters, which most congressmen do not bother to read.

The lawmakers demanded that the Saudis not be given access to Friend-Or-Foe codes, such as were given to the UAE, so that they cannot target Israel. So there is a real concern that the Saudis might...

Time For Some Straight Talk……

What’s coming in the not too distant future to America can be compared to a cat 5-7 Hurricane! It’s not an if it’s a when. Two major bubbles will burst simultaneously the Banking sector/credit and finance and the real-estate market especially the commercial real-estate market. That will make all pension funds insolvent.

The question will be will the government and the Fed bail out the banks again or let them go under?

Bibi not prepared to say “no” to Obama

Bibi told Rivlin that he is trying to save as many of the settlements as he can. This tells me he has accepted the Saudi Plan and is trying to salvage something. He is not prepared to say “no” and have Obama’s threats materialize. Obama has made an offer he can’t refuse. Putting it another way , who is prepared to say “no” and be cut adrift with our special relationship with America and in fact find America as our enemy.

As usual this Haaretz article demonizes the settlers.Belman

Netanyahu knows there’s no turning back now
With the U.S. getting antsy, the settlers ratcheting up the pressure a, the Prime Minister clearly has his work cut out for him.
By Yossi Verter,HAARETZ

Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to learn two key lessons from Ariel Sharon’s tenure as prime minister. The first is: Always adapt your coalition to the policy you are pursuing. The second is: There is no such animal as a “natural partner.” Coalition...

The Power of The president

Don’t count Obama out too soon! Yamit

Progress is a dirty word

Oy gevalt: the first email I saw this morning bore the headline, John Podesta Says Obama Can Use ‘Armed Forces’ to Circumvent Congress… Posts linked are found at the Daily Caller and Weasel Zippers.

The fact of the matter is that John Podesta and the Center for American Progress – that is, Public Enemy No. 1, if you agree with Glenn Beck – have issued a report called THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT: Recommendations to Advance Progressive Change. While it does not specifically advise the president to use military force against domestic dissent, it does enumerate the impressive powers of the presidency and specific ways in which the president can act above, beyond and around the will of Congress and the voting citizenry. I have no doubt that this report constitutes a blueprint for shoving more “progress” down our collective throat over the next two...

York U Moves to Suppress Offensive Speech — But Only When Jews Are Speaking

THIS IS A GREAT EXPOSE. UNBELIEVABLE REALLY, BUT TRUE
The Canadian university hosts the odious anti-Semite and pro-terrorist George Galloway, and moves to suppress the free speech rights of a Jewish rabbi for condemning him.

by Richard Cravatts

York University in Toronto, which has gained for itself the dubious distinction of being Canada’s epicenter of campus anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism, is displaying once again the moral inversion that seems to have infected its student body and administration when the issues of the Middle East are discussed.

The issue at hand is a November 16th visit to the York campus by British MP George Galloway, as the invited guest of the York Federation of Students. In 2009, Mr. Galloway had been barred from entering Canada due to his public support of and donations to Hamas, a group designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the U.S. State Department, Canada, and the EU, but a court has since overturned that decision and given Galloway...

Obama:”Aren’t I great”

For the best article ever written about Obama’s personality, I recommend Jonathan Last’s American Narcissus, the vanity of Barrack Obama

As a case in point read what Gov Jindal had to say about Obama

According to Jindal, on Obama’s first trip to Louisiana after the disaster, the President took him aside on the tarmac after arriving to complain about a letter that he had sent to the administration requesting authorization for food stamps for those who had lost their jobs because of the spill, Politico reports.

As Jindal describes it in his book “Leadership and Crisis,” the letter was entirely routine, yet Obama was angry and concerned about looking bad.

“Careful,” he quotes Obama as warning him, “this is going to get bad for everyone.”

He also describes how nearby on the tarmac, then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel rebuked his own chief of staff, Timmy Teepell, saying “If you have a problem pick up the...
