Attempted Pogrom In Antwerp, Belgium
Muslim rioters carrying Hamas flags attempted to assault the Jewish neighborhood of Antwerp in Belgium today. Police sealed off the neighborhood and engaged in running battles with the rioters who caused much property damage.
Meanwhile, A group of men with Middle Eastern-looking features approached Israelis working at a mall in Denmark. A man in the group then brandished a weapon and fired at the Israelis wounding two.
Below is a classic image of a pro-Palestinian protester in New York. What is wrong with his "death to all Jews" sign? We are dealing with morons and moral retards:
The good news is that you can get your very own "death to all Juice" T-shirt here.
More "love" emanating from the Moonbat/Islamic coalition as San Francisco's Holocaust Memorial is Tagged With: "Israel, There Is Blood On Your Hands"
The Morality Gap Between Palestinians and Israelis is as Wide as an Ocean
Below is a small example of the gigantic morality gap between Israel and its enemies. Palestinian Islamic terrorists who would not hesitate to murder children, were trapped in a collapsed arms smuggling tunnel between Gaza and Egypt. Their lives are saved by Israeli soldiers. I personally believe that such humanity shown by the Israeli soldiers who put themselves at risk is in some ways foolish, and that these terrorists should have been eliminated as a matter of simple justice. None the less, here you have it:

Not Again! Israeli Hesitation and Confusion Sets In
The past 24 hours have brought multiple reports that the IDF is recommending to suspend military operations for 48 hours and during that time to review the number of possible ceasefire resolutions. Are you kidding me?
Those reports have now been followed by other reports that the IDF are denying having recommended any suspension of attacks.
This is beginning to smell like the last Lebanon war where objectives were publicly laid out and not achieved. Flying by the seat of their pants, ground forces were sent in and withdrawn multiple times. Complete confusion, a lack of a plan and a lack of resolve for a decisive victory were the mindset. Let's hope that Israel has a plan for victory, will execute that plan and achieve its objectives. The mixed messages are embarrassing and send the wrong message to the enemy and the world.
Cynthia McNut-job McKinney Turned Away From Her Hamas Pals
I would like to take a moment to compliment the Israeli Navy on a job well done. My only criticism is that the McNut-job McKinney 'love boat' did not suffer more damage in this incident.
The IDF has launched it's own YouTube channel as part of a larger effort to counter pathetic media bias, especially European media bias.

Israel Must Destroy Hamas
In 2006 Israel initiated a military campaign in response to an outrageous attack by Hezbollah on it's norther boarder. That campaign was poorly conceived and poorly executed. Far-reaching objectives were publicly announced yet few were actually achieved when the dust settled. Israeli decision-making seemed hesitant and confused. The mere fact the Hezbollah survived, allowed it to proclaim victory and seriously damage Israel's deterrence posture and image of invincibility... emboldening organizations like Hamas. The kidnapped Israeli soldiers that sparked that mini war were eventually returned in body bags. The humiliation was complete.
Surely, Israeli leaders understand that a similar outcome now in Gaza would be an unacceptable disaster. A clear, decisive and undisputed victory must be achieved by Israel; the kind of victory that even the most fanatical Islamist will be forced to recognize. Anything short of that will be considered a victory for Hamas. Indeed, like Hezbollah a few years ago, if it survives this round Hamas will proclaim victory and it will be perceived as such by Israel's enemies.
The outrage here is hard to overstate. Even during the darkest days of the Yom Kippur war, rockets did not fall on Israeli population centers such as Ashdod and Yavneh. I hope and pray that Israel's leadership do not flinch and see this ugly business to the bitter end. Anything less will be a real disaster.

Sick: Congress Votes Itself a Pay Raise
When God was giving out that little gene at birth that causes humans to sense shame, most members of Congress were absent. How else to explain Congress voting itself a pay raise as our economy is fall like a manhole cover from the sky? What's worse is that this economic catastrophe was largely triggered by Congress and its abuses of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. There are simply no words.

Obama - It's not all negative
I don't want to come across as suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome on this blog. As I hammer Obama from the peanut gallery, fairness dictates that I mention the areas that I see as positive, and there are areas of positive performance.
First, he deserves complements for inviting Pastor Rick Warren to deliver an address at his inauguration. This signals his serious intent to represent all Americans and not just the narrow yappers from the looney left of his base. Good for him. I don't agree with everything Pastor Warren represents (I do agree with much), but I know he represents a very large segment of our population.
Second, Obama deserves complements for appointing a solid list of competent people to cabinet level positions. He has largely (but not entirely) steered away from hyper partisanship and that is a positive signal that his administration won't be run by the crazy left.
Third, Obama has given every indication that he intends to revolutionize the energy sector through a Manhattan Project-like effort to put us well on the path to independence from Middle East oil. To that I say AMEN! I don't buy the global warming nonsense but our dependence on Middle Eastern oil is a gigantic threat to national and economic security. Should Obama succeed in this area... that alone will be a legacy to hang his hat on for generations.
Time Magazine Makes the Most Predictable Pick of the Year
Back on Saturday, August 23rd, I predicted that Time Magazine will choose Obama as their "Man of the Year". Yeah that was a tough one. You see, I know how liberals think and what liberals are going to do before they do. That's how predictable they are:
Massive Global Warming in Vegas
Al Gore got it right in reverse. Largest snowstorm in 30 years slams the Las Vegas Valley. Schools are shut down, traffic is a mess and and people couldn't be more delighted.
Of course, the "global warming" crowd will tell us that this is a sign of GW; if it's hot, it's GW, if it's cold, it's GW, if it's normal... it's GW. I say if it's GW, it's a mental disorder. I have noticed that the "global warming" crowd are moving away from the term "global warming" and are now using the far less specific term "climate change". That way they are a little less embarrassed when images like the one above make people laugh at them.

Obama-Blagojevich in Chicagoland
UPDATE: Rahm Emanuel talked directly with Gov. Blagojevich about Obama's Senate seat. A direct contradiction to Obama's original denial.
UPDATE: Joe Scarborough rips the media a new one on the Obama-Blagojevich connection.
UPDATE: The insufferable arrogance - Obama to reporter on Governor Blagojevich/Ram Emanuel: I don't want you to waste your question".
UPDATE: Federal informant: Before he was in politics, Blagojevich was a bookie linked to the Chicago Mob.
Obama on Blagojevich:
“Obviously like the rest of the people of Illinois I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the US attorney’s office today, but as this is a ongoing investigation involving the governor I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to comment on the issue at this time.”
Obama on the Reverend Wright:
“Yesterday we saw a very different vision of America… I am outraged by the comments that were made, and saddened over the spectacle that we saw yesterday. The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago. His comments were not only divisive and destructive but I believe they ended up giving comfort to those who prey on hate.”
Obama on Tony Rezko:
“I’m saddened by today’s verdict, this isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew, but now he has been convicted by a jury on multiple charges that once again shine a spotlight on the need for reform.”
Obama on Father Phleger:
“…That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger’s divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn’t reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause.”Oooop, wrong picture, that's Obama with prisoner #64538, Ally and former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.
Obama on William Ayres:
"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago"
Obama on PLO Spokesman Rashid kahlidid:
"I do know him because I taught at the University of Chicago. His kids went to the Lab school where my kids go as well. He is a respected scholar, although he vehemently disagrees with a lot of Israel's policy."
Meanwhile, Univision has a good article on the close relationship between Obama and Blagojevich.
That's Rham Emanuel, Obama's Chief of Staff. Emanuel now represents the same Congressional district that Blagojevich represented. Tapped by the Feds 21 times discussing appointment to Obama's Senate seat with Blagojevich's team.
UPDATE: The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Federal Agents have Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel on tape discussing Obama's senate seat 21 times with Blagojevich team! I suppose that wouldn't be a big deal had Obama himself not initially denied any contacts with Blagojevich on the matter. Since his original denial, Obama has switched to "there was no inappropriate contact". It's beginning to smell a lot like "I did not have sex with that woman" or "it depends on what the meaning of the word is is."
UPDATE: Obama's Chief operative is coming under pressure to resign after being caught on tape discussing Obama's Senate seat appointment with Blagojevich. I find this unfair that a staffer for Obama would be asked to take the bullet for Obama himself, whom Emanuel was merely working for. It was Obama himself who said that he and his staff had no contact with Blagojevich on the appointment, which contradicted earlier interviews with top advisor David Axelrod and now the FBI taped conversations of Rahm Emanuel.
I recently received a comment on one of my posts complaining about my assertion that Obama and Blagojevich were political Allies. The commenter demands that I remove the headline, and posted a rambling screed on his own blog defending Obama and his links to Blagojevich.
Of course, I am not the only one who is familiar with the relationship. Here are a few astute observers. Feel free to google "Blagojevich Obama Allies" for thousands of results:

7 Questions For Obama About Blagojevich

Of course, both are the product of the corrupt Chicago political machine. Below is a fun video of Obama endorsing Blagojevich. Obama: "Right now my MAIN FOCUS is that we elect Rod Blagojevich as governor". Moderator: Are you working hard for Rod? Obama: "YOU BETCHYA!" Enjoy:
He's not just endorsing him, he's his "Main Focus" and he is "working hard" for him.
Of course, Obama has now thrown Blagojevich under the bus like the long list other other inconvenient friends. When asked, Obama's basic answer is 'Blagojevich who?' And his blogging supporters echo the sudden amnesia... But the record of their political alliance is clear, extensive and irrefutable. The Koolaid drinkers not withstanding.
President of the United States Barack Obama
I had not seen this image of a young Obama that Drudge has posted this morning on his site. I have a feeling now that the election is over, all kinds of interesting things will slowly see the light of day. With Stalinist-like uniformity, the media has so sugarcoated everything about Obama that reality will take a while for the public to grasp. Time Magazine has named the messiah "Man of the Year" even though he has not done a single thing yet. This is a real cult.
I Sware to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth:

Obama-Blagojevich - Ongoing

Adam Walsh's Murder Solved - The Boy Who Changed Everything
Every parent in America should be thankful to Adam Walsh. His senseless murder inspired his father John Walsh to engage in a lifetime mission of protecting children and hunting down "America's Most Wanted." Walsh's dogged determination literally changed how this country deals with missing and exploited children. Thank you Adam and John Walsh. Adam will never be forgotten.
