Truly Inspiring: Binyamin Netanyahu's Holocaust Memorial Address At Yad Vashem

This is really amazing.

Kudos to the PMO for publishing the English transcript.

Read the whole thing. 


"On this day, on behalf of the Jewish people, I say to all those who sought to destroy us, and to all those who still seek to destroy us: You have failed, and you will fail again.\"

"The State of Israel is stronger than ever. It is a state that seeks peace with all its neighbors and it pulsates with an iron will to ensure the future of our people."

"The people will arise like a lion cub and raise itself like a lion...and Judea will dwell securely. (Numbers 23:24; Jeremiah 23:6)."

RELATED: 

Stop throwing IDF soldiers in jail for doing their jobs.

It is disgusting that soldiers are prevented from doing what they need to do, and punished for effective soldiering. There are so many radical leftist groups and Palestinians provoking soldiers on a daily basis. The crackdown should be on those who provoke soldiers and hinder their work. The soldiers participating in this Facebook campaign are very brave indeed.


George F. Will: Basically, Obama Is Like A Teenaged Brat

Gotta agree!

Bernie Farber Insults Stephen Harper and the Queen of England in A Vulgar, Profanity-Laced Tweet (UPDATED)

Thanks to scaramouche for having the stomach to sift through Bernie's Twitter feed.

I hope everyone in the Official Jewish community takes a look at this, and seriously considers how damaging Bernie Farber is to the Jewish community and frankly-to the free world.

Do you really want him at your events?

How is this guy adding value? Seriously-think about it.

What a disgusting Tweet.

Classless and vulgar, insulting the most pro-Israel, pro-Jewish, philosemitic Prime Minister in the history of Canada and Her Majesty the Queen of England.

Way to go, Bernie.



P.S Good news and bad news alert!

The good news is that this Tweet will probably be the nail in the coffin of Bernie ever getting a national honour that he seems to be lusting after. Great strategy!

The bad news is that could actually improve his chances of being the new Barbara Hall. 

Go figure!

UPDATE: 

I just saw on a Canadian Conservative web site that it's the PM's birthday. Extra classy timing, Bernie!

Toronto District School Board Trustees Have Some "Dubious" Expenses

What a bloody mess.

No wonder they haven't got time or the inclination to investigate gender apartheid at Toronto schools, or the grooming curriculum designed by alleged pedophile Ben Levin (anyone heard an update about him, he seems to have just disappeared off the face of the earth).

They are too busy partying on our dime!

Neo Nazis Highjack Dutch Holocaust Memorial Day to Bleat About Palestinians

See what I did there?

These folks are the real neo-Nazis.

The inversion of the Palestinians as Jews, and Jews as Nazis is one of the most morally reprehensible things that can be suggested to Jews.

Fortunately, it's complete and utter bullsh&t.

Even more fortunately, Jews are terrible at genocide.

Caroline Glick: John Kerry's Jewish Friends

THIS:

"Kerry’s “Apartheid” remarks are a watershed event."

"They represent the first time a sitting US Secretary of State has publically endorsed an anti-Semitic caricature of Jews and the Jewish state."

America, I Love You But Your Courts Are Insane

A judge has ordered that a Pennsylvania widow's house be sold because she owed $6.30 in taxes. 

YES THIS IS FOR REAL.

For shame.

She is a widow, just starting to look after the household finances herself following her husband's death.

But apparently selling her house for under TEN BUCKS is fine because they are all FOLLOWING THE RULES. Following orders!

"I paid everything, and didn't know about the $6.30," Battisti said.

"For the house to be sold just because of $6.30 is crazy."

Yes it is crazy and cruel.  This is a shameful, shameful ruling.

 "Joe Askar, Beaver County's chief solicitor, said the judge got the decision right, based on the law."

(Based on the law?!?! How about just asking her to make change for a ten dollar bill, you stupid bastards??) 

"The county never wants to see anybody lose their home, but at the same time the tax sale law, the tax real estate law, doesn't give a whole lot of room for error, either," Askar said.

"Battisti said her husband handled the paperwork for the property's taxes before he passed away in 2004."

"It's bad - she had some hard times, I guess her husband kind of took care of a lot of that stuff," Askar said.

"It seemed that she was having a hard time coping with the loss of her husband - that just made it set in a little more."

Must Read: Kate (Middleton) Has Put Class Back Into Sexy

I agree with this completely.

(Great lede, by the way, just awesome...)

"In this era of butt selfies and slut walks, Kate Middleton, aka the Duchess of Cambridge, is a revolutionary."

She has great style and grace. 

Lovely article about a very substantial young woman and her royal life.

"Kate’s grace and elegance is a welcome change from the desperate self-loathing exhibitionism of most celebrity ­females of her generation"

"It’s why she is raising ­hackles among snarky feminists. They have called her variously “plastic princess”, “painfully thin”, a “jointed doll on which certain rags are hung” and even “dangerous for our daughters.”

"Sunny Kate represents a threat to the pornification ­industry, which has somehow duped feminism into the belief that dressing like a stripper and acting like a hooker equals emancipation. Nothing could be further from the truth. You only have to look at Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan to see what the end game is."

"Kate is the anti-slut, the antidote to everything wrong with Western culture. She has put class back into sexy, made modesty cool, and added ­cachet to marriage and motherhood. No wonder she has become a role model to a generation of young women, despite scornful feminists."

Just lovely.

Actually, At This Point, It Still Makes a Difference

Ben Rhodes at the centre of the "You Tube video caused Bengahzi attacks" lie. 

What a disgusting pig.

What a disgraceful administration.

Is There Nothing That Can't Be Used As Obama Propganda?

The picture is of a girl being comforted and hugged by a benevolent and kind FLOTUS, after the sweet young thing-unbeknownst to her family, handed Michelle Obama her father's resume. 

You see, her Dad has been out of work for many months. Times are tough in America.

"Hey little girl, what part of we canned your Dad's ass does your family not understand?"

This is an example of the "bury the lede" school of journalism.

Her Dad was let go by the Obama administration. 


Jewish Mayor in Ukraine, Shot and in Critical Condition in Haifa Hospital

Have not seen this in the news anywhere else (yet) except in the Times of Israel.

A Nation Comes to A Standstill: Holocaust Memorial Day in Israel

So many stories. 

The worst picture I saw today was of two Nazis, one holding a Jewish baby in a blanket and the other pointing a revolver at his head. 

This is why having Israel and the IDF is critical.

The lesson of the Holocaust is that Jews must never again rely on anyone else for their safety and security and must always been heavily armed with our super smart selves and superior firepower. That's what 'never again' means.

And via my friend scaramouche, an excellent piece from Jonathan Tobin on the trouble with Holocaust commemoration-something I have certainly discussed before.

"Abbas and the Trouble with Holocaust Commemoration".

Basically, Holocaust observance has in some quarters, become an occasion and almost religion, having little to do with Judaism. It is frequently a macabre "celebration" of dead Jews. Live Jews are so rarely celebrated.

Read the whole thing. 

The best parts:

"Remembering the Holocaust is a sacred obligation and it is especially important to keep alive the memory of the six million who perished at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators at a time when the ranks of the survivors grow fewer with each passing year. But the point of these memorials is not merely to shed tears over the Jews who died seven decades ago. The Holocaust was the culmination of two millennia of anti-Semitism."

 "The Nazi crime was unique in terms of its scale and the embrace by one of the world’s most civilized and powerful nations of a racist eliminationist creed. But it was neither the first nor the last attack on the existence of the Jewish people. Anti-Semitism has outlived the Nazis just as it did other host organisms to which this vile virus attached itself. Today, the major source of anti-Semitic invective and hate speech is the Arab and Muslim world. This contemporary incarnation uses resentment against the existence of one lone Jewish state on this planet to mobilize not only Arab anger against Israel but to reawaken traditional Jew-hatred in Europe."

Furthermore:

"The trend toward universalizing the Holocaust so as to have its commemoration become a surrogate for every expression of intolerance or ill-feeling on any subject has done nothing to wipe out hate while diluting the specific historic lesson of this event."

"The sad truth is that the popularity of Holocaust commemoration—even on the part of many who are hostile to contemporary Jewish life—as well as the proliferation of Holocaust museums and memorials seems to reflect a preference for dead Jews over live ones."








Stop Drugging Children

We will look back and say "how could we have possibly known".

But we did know. We know now. 

It's worse for boys of course than girls.

Terrible.

Free Speech Under Attack in America

Via Instapundit: 

Good grief.

He calls it "thought control disguised as manners". True!

FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!!!

This is really just totalitarianism on campus.

Behold:  The "You Don't Say" campaign.

Actually it should have been named the YOU WON'T SAY IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU campaign.

Nice college registration you got there, would be a shame if anything happened to it....

Apparently, it is now against the law/rules on campus to say "that's so gay", "man up" or "don't be a pussy".

I think the pussies on campus who are trying to shut everyone up should stop acting so gay about language. People who understand the danger to free speech should man up and get active and not let the "SHUT UP" rule reign supreme on campus, or anywhere for that matter.




John Kerry Uses "A" Word to Describe Israel

He had the nerve to use the word "apartheid". 

Sorry, but that disqualifies him from any further credibility on Israel.

What a disgusting pig. And trail wafts right up to President Obama.

I have two "A" words for Mr. Kerry:

Antisemitic asshole.


The UK Is Screwed

Just getting caught up on the past few weeks of news.

Clearly, one of the most critical items is the fact that someone in the (formerly free and democratic) United Kingdom, was arrested for quoting the great Winston Churchill.

Just when you think that the UK cannot sink any lower, a new low is set.

The only response to this, by every single freedom loving Brit alive should be do quote Churchill themselves-over and over and over in every forum they can.

There should be Churchill Read-A-Thons, sit ins, and dozens of people at a time should be standing in public quoting Churchill as well.

Read thoughts from Mark Steyn here and here. 

More from Robert Spencer here.

As Steyn once said of the jihadists-in order to get us to shut up, or cave in, they are going to have to kill us all.

The same must be said about the battle for Free Speech, of course NOT coincidentally being led also by Mark Steyn.

The rallying cry in Britain and in the civilized world must be: 

If they are going to arrest us for quoting Winston Churchill, they are bloody well going to have to arrest us all. 

So start quoting Churchill.



STAT!

Oddly enough, there are those who feel the murder of their loved ones, and fellow Americans does, in fact, make a difference.

Steyn: A Trip to the Museum

Groovy!

Mark Steyn likes my "America, I love you but your police are out of control" line.

Why are we talking about this again?

And by "we" I mean me and Mark Steyn!

Doesn't that have a fabulous ring to it? 

Anyway, I digress...

A family in America was almost gunned down in cold blood at the Air Force Museum by American military police at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

As Steyn notes;

"As I wrote a week ago:
Apparently the only government department without a military force at its disposal is the military. So when a lone shooter opens up at an army base, Fort Shock'n'Awe has to call 911 and "shelter in place" until the county sheriff arrives. For your psycho gunman, a military base is basically a grade-school in uniform.
"But apparently that's only true if you want to stand on a table yelling "Allahu Akbar!" and gunning down large numbers at people. By contrast, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, for some Third Grade student and his gran'ma visiting the Air Force Museum, the US military has all the firepower it needs to terrorize the kid and his sister. That's reassuring to know, isn't it? "

"If the boy had put "Soldier of Allah" on his business card and been emailing Anwar al-Awlaki night after night, that would have been fine. But instead the kid made the mistake of playing the license-plate game in a museum parking lot."

"Jewish Bones Found Exposed in Poland"

And that, my friends, summarizes the "Jewish future" in Europe. 

Bones.


Random: Awesome Shlomo Artzi Song

I looooooove Shlomo Artzi.

I love his voice, his music, and well-he's totally hot.

This is so beautiful.

She's taking half a pill to calm herself,
and gives (me) a sentence of wager:
"you or me or you?"
and I'm closed within, my words no longer come out,
and aside from whispering her name,
I wipe her tears.

Cry for me now,
cry I say,
it hurts, it will hurt,
but at the end it will get released,
cry instead of me,
I can no longer cry,
me, it's my job -
to wipe your tears.

"Look" she says to me, "a fog covers the road,
problems start in one's head,
life is scary enough."
And I'm closed within, I can't see anything,
and aside from whispering her name,
I wipe her tears.

Cry for me now..

TSA Security Kabuki Overlords Bar Mute Stroke Victim From Boarding Flight

ABUSE OF THE DISABLED.

By your government, America.

Why aren't Americans seriously having a revolution over this?

Forcing a disabled, mute woman on an 8 hour bus ride because she couldn't say her name?

She couldn't say her name because SHE IS DISABLED FROM A STROKE.

"Wright claims the TSA agent was rude and insensitive, insisting Heidi talk."

“I showed her ID, her (social security card) and her DMV papers,” Wright said, to no avail."

“He just wanted me to make my sister talk, and I couldn’t believe it.

“I was just standing there, tears were coming out and I was like, ‘Are you serious? We can’t get her to talk’.”

These are colossal assholes abusing the disabled from their faux-security pulpits.

Disgusting.

The TSA "regrets" the incident.

You know what I would tell them to do with their "regret", right?

Two Best Ones on The Sucky, Craven, Gutless, Morally Reprehensible Cowards of Brandeis-Steyn and Kay

First of all: THE STEYN

Steyn notes that "in this instance, Brandeis University is stiffing someone who's black, feminist and from Somalia. Which makes their decision the most explicit recognition yet that, in the hierarchy of identity-group politics, Islam trumps everything, including race and gender".

Correct.

Furthermore:

"There's nothing hypothetical about the danger she lives with. She and Theo van Gogh made a movie called Submission: He's dead, and the fellows who did it would like to kill her, too. But some tenured navel-gazing hacks and the prissy little trusty-fundy twerps they pretend to teach think she's the threat?"

(OMG that's a keeper, have I mention lately that I adore Mark Steyn?? Oh I have. Of course I have. Nevermind, carry on....)

"As for Brandeis president Frederick Lawrence and the others who took this decision, nobody's asking them to be as brave as Ayaan Hirsi Ali. They will never know what it's like to have their associates murdered and to be forced into living under armed guard. They will never have to "share the risk" that Ms Hirsi Ali faces every day of her life. All that was required of President Lawrence & Co was that they not be total craven, jelly-spined squishes who fold like a cheap Bedouin tent at the first hint of pressure."

Then from Barbara Kay, a fine writer, one of Canada's best:

"Brandeis core values are rotten to the core."

 "A university spokesperson said that “we cannot overlook certain of her past statements that are inconsistent with Brandeis University’s core values.”

"Core values, eh? And what would those be?"

"Was it core values that guided Brandeis’ 2007 hiring of Professor Natana J. DeLong-Bas – a strident defender of Saudi-style extremist Muslim ideology, who is on record denying that Osama bin Laden was behind the 9/11 attacks?

"Was it core values that prompted Brandeis then-president Jehuda Reinharz to call mainstream anti-Islamist Daniel Pipes a “weapon of mass destruction” because his talks provide an excuse for Islamist activists to make trouble?"

"Was it core values behind Brandeis University’s initiation in 2008 of a long-term, intimate relationship with Jerusalem’s radical Al Quds University? Al Quds hosts the Abu Jihad Martyrs Museum, which pays homage to Palestinian terrorism and, according to a 2007 Palestinian Media Watch report, hosts student branches of Hamas and Islamic Jihad on campus."

"Brandeis University seems to consider that cozying up to supporters of terrorism is a core value."

This episode is absolutely disgusting. I wonder if the current blowback, which has not even reached its peak level, will be enough to shame Brandeis into doing the right thing. Or will they double down on the Dhimmi Stupid?

Can't wait to hear the fart-catchers' clean up strategy for this dog's breakfast of a PR mess. 

This is another reason why you must laugh in the face of any university that talks about "safe" space.

When a campus is only "safe" for those who support terrorism, and not "safe" for those who fight tyranny, repression and actual, rather than imagined misogyny, then we are in grave danger indeed. 

And I mean it about danger.

It's not just unpleasant, or distasteful.

Democracy is a very young, and very fragile human experiment. I mean our modern democracies of course, not democratic episodes in the ancient world.

People don't seem to realize how easily we might lose, to paraphrase Churchill, the most horrible system of human governance ever, except for anything else! 

Brandeis is appalling, but this action must be viewed in the greater context of the erosion of free speech, individual liberty and Western freedom. It cannot be viewed in isolation.

To reject and attempt to humiliate a woman of such exceptional bravery, with such unique credentials is to embrace the very evil that she spends her entire life fighting. 

Ayaan Hirsi Ali responds:


Hirsi responds to Brainless Brandeis. 

"They simply wanated me to be silenced." 

EXIT QUESTION:

Why, pray tell, are liberal Jews MUTE on this subject?

Their silence means that they are fine with the idea that a black, African, women's rights activist has been treated in this fashion by Brandeis.

Hirsi might be the right colour for their exquisitely precious, sensitive sensitivities, but she has the wrong politics. 

And that is the ONLY thing that matters to liberal extremists. Especially the Jewish ones.

Dude! Where's My Ozone Hole?!??!

I thought this was funny.

And when I say funny, what I mean by that is 'gee it looks like he wants people who disagree with him to shut up'. 

Professor Mann is being asked what his opinion is of extremists, or lone wolf scientists, or extremist scientist lone wolf strange types who are not disciples of the Church of Global Warmism.

Michael Mann:

"MANN: Well, it's very unfortunate, right? I mean, you know, you can always find one individual who is willing to disagree with the overwhelming consensus of the world's scientists."

"We have seen that--when it came to tobacco, there were scientists who were claiming it's not a problem to smoke cigarettes, there's no threat to human health. Of course, they were wrong, and many lives were lost because people were listening to them.

"We heard the same thing with ozone depletion, which is now only beginning to recover because of the actions, the precautionary actions we did take decades ago."

[Ed. note: WHAT ABOUT ACID RAIN??? THE CRACK BABIES??? OAT BRAN???]

"We've heard that with, you know, the threat of pharmaceutical products, untested pharmaceutical products. So you can always find one contrarian who's willing to disagree with, you know, the rest of the scientific community. And if we were to listen only to those contrarian voices or to put much stock in them, to these very fringe minority voices, then we wouldn't have acted on the tobacco problem, we wouldn't have acted on the acid rain problem, we wouldn't have acted on the ozone depletion problem."

[Oh there it is... the 'acid rain' catastrophe that never really was or is...zzzzz...so sleepy....] 

"And so for the media or at least some media outlets to give so much weight to one fringe contrarian voice does a disservice to the public discourse. It misleads the public and it poisons the larger discourse over, you know, this critical issue of what to do about the very real threat of human-caused climate change."

In other words: SHUT UP!!!

By the way, the lone, strange individual being referenced in this interview is not Mark Steyn.

Just clarifying! 



Nicely Done: "Chozen" A Passover Musical Delight

Steyn: "Only In Canada? Pity." (Note: Very Good Looking Panel!)

I hope Australia is ready for the Return of Steyyyyyyyyyyyn.

"A frequent visitor to Australia, and due here later this year, Steyn has watched with disappointment the debate over ­section 18C. He says that Canada's cultural Left eventually supported the repeal of section 13 in a way he thought would be repeated here."

"They said, 'Well, obviously we find Steyn a totally disgusting and ­repulsive figure and we want to emphasise how much we dissociate ourselves from him BUT this is not compatible with a free society and Canadians should be able to decide for themselves on these matters'."

"I thought it would go that way with Andrew Bolt. That people would say, 'Well, Bolt is a repellent creature BUT …' Yet from my understanding from the debate in Australia no one on the Left has got to the BUT." Sadly, Steyn is right that, for ever larger groups on the Left, identity group rights trump the rights of freedom of ­expression."

"I hope the Section 18 campaign picks up a bit of steam soon. But I did take the precaution of threatening The Australian's readers:"

"I might have to fly in and do it myself."

(MODERATELY AROUSING!)

And I like this part also:

"I'm in favor of free speech sans frontières"

If I ever started an organization, I might be inclined to call it Free Speech Sans Frontières.

However, if I ever start an organization-remember to please shoot me.

I hate organizations and as per Groucho Marks, would never want to be a part of a club (or an organization) that would have me as a member. 

UPDATE: 

This is a very nice looking panel. Very clever folks.

I like Australian accents. The blonde is a real babe! The moderator is adorable, and Steyn-totally Steynian!

What I meant to say is Kathy Shaidle eviscerates Bruce Jenner (Bridgette?) and his journey to womanhood.

THIS:

As per one of the comments (and really, very suprisingly JOOOOOOO-free today), Jenner really does personify the pussification of the American male. Very much so!

Mark Steyn Akbar! Keepin It Real: "Mixing the Whatnot in a Beaker and Renting Fallopian Time Shares"

OH MAH GAWD!!

I almost had a car accident this morning listening to Mark Steyn on John Oakley this morning.

And when I say accident, I mean that I almost peed in my pants.

THAT KIND OF ACCIDENT. 

I was laughing so hard that it was really almost, like totally, awkward.

Total geek out. 

Seriously, when I heard the bit about 'gender fluidity', I honestly thought I was going to die.

While Oakley tried to steer the conversation to a serious discussion about 'gender fluidity', Steyn noted that there has already been a case prescedent in California, where two men were listed as the fathers of a child.

He was musing about "two guys from California, not wanting to go into the mechanics of it, co-mingled their what not, put it in a beaker and rented some fallopian tubes from some woman they found on the internet".

I CANNOT HANDLE IT!!!

AIYEEEEEEE!!! 

I AM STILL HYSTERICAL!!!!

But on a serious note, this is an outstanding interview.

Oakley is great with Steyn, he actually lets Steyn speak, and riff freely. Oakley was really on his game with this interview and Steyn delivered the goods.



This interview is EXCELLENT.

There are many, many important topics being discussed.

This is probably one of the best interviews with Steyn, on radio, that I have heard in a good while.

Listen to the whole thing. The bits about the Magna Carta (what "rights" really means, Steyn explains it sloooooooowly), about who is telling you to "shut up", about the left and living in "defiance of biology" (OMG that phrase is a keeper, more of that!!) and about the "Land Beyond Biology".

This one has PLENTY of material for future essays. Really, really good stuff.

If I were Queen of the World, I would say that this needs a verbatim transcription for future use so that Steyn can dole it out to his subjects, like the King in the field of 1250, in little drops and drabs to his adoring public via The Interwebzzz.

“Here’s my theory: If a person gets worldwide fame at a young age, they’re emotionally frozen at that moment,” Lowe says.

“For me, that’s 15 to 18, so you find yourself in your mid-20s being a glorified 15-year-old. What could possibly go wrong?”

"What went wrong was Lowe became an alcoholic."

Women also get caught in time warps, when they felt they were at their best.

That's why women in particular have to make an extra effort to stay contemporary in dress, hair and make-up. It's just awful and painful when women live in the decade of their bloom, instead of living in the moment.

From the Mouths of Babes: "You call this a [expletive] lunch?"

American kids not terrifically excited about Michelle Obama's lunch program. 

Again: why the hell don't American parents make their own kids' lunches?

It's a serious question.

If you delegate this function to outsiders-that is to say, you can't even be bothered to stuff something between two pieces of bread and plop an apple in a bag, what else do you relegate to the state?

And why complain that "someone" out there, with some sh&tty government program is making your kid a crappy lunch?

Fire all the lunch ladies and fire all the lunch companies and make your own freaking lunches.

You're welcome!

And by the way, it's not about gay marriage at all. That's just the current demand of the mob. There is no appeasing the mob.

That's why civility to one's enemies is overrated. "They" will never be "won over".

Liberal Cluelessness in One Daft Article: White Person Living Among White People Lectures Other White People On How To Raise Non-Racist Children

Absolutely breathtaking arrogance. 

"The good news is that the answer seems to be yes—there are things I can do to keep my kids from harboring racial prejudice. Namely, I can talk to them about race."

(Right, just TALK to them, blah blah blah, talk the talk-never walk the walk. Typical liberal blather...)

"First, a caveat: I’m writing this article as a white parent with white kids living in a mostly white neighborhood. I know that my experiences, perspectives, and considerations differ markedly from those of parents with different ethnic backgrounds living in different situations, and I also realize that I know nothing about the racial landscape that minority parents have to navigate with their kids. For many minority parents, talking about race is not an option—it’s essential in helping their children move through a world that sees a “black kid” and not just a kid. "

"Although I talked to researchers with diverse backgrounds while reporting my piece, I’m guessing that my findings and advice will apply predominantly to white parents like me."

Good for these parents! What a cutie!

Apple Cake for Shabbos

So I made a "Jewish" apple cake this morning for Shabbos. 

Yes, cue the martyr music...while everyone else in the world was sleeping, I was peeling apples, etc..

I like to bake for Shabbat. Once a week, "breakfast" at our house is home-made cake. It's a Shabbat treat.



Anyway, I have this same recipe in a synagogue sisterhood cookbook from about 1970. It's actually printed on large cue-card type cards, and all the recipes are punched with three holes, and in this groovy blue plastic binder  with faded gold lettering.

I actually feel a really strong sense of love toward this cookbook because I got it from a high school acquaintance whose mother passed away from cancer. Her father eventually got remarried and they were clearing out the contents of the house.

At the time, we had just moved back to Toronto and had nothing. So, they generously asked me to come over and just pick out stuff from the house that none of the three siblings had wanted.

Her mom's handwriting is in the margins of a lot of the recipe "needs more sugar", or "very nice!" things like that. And I still use the warming tray from them every single Shabbat. I guess it's corny, but I feel like the spirit of a nice, Jewish mom kind of radiates from her things and her comments. I've lost touch with that woman from high school, but if I do every see her, I'll be sure to mention it.

Anyway, apparently this "Jewish apple cake" is a real thing!

I pulled it off Smitten Kitchen this morning and here it is in the Washington Post also.

I think it's "Jewish" mostly because it uses a lot of oil, eggs and then juice instead of milk-keeping it "pareve" which means it can be eaten with either a meat or a dairy meal (Jews separate milk and meat when they eat).

My kitchen sure smelled good this morning. My youngest woke up and said "I smell cinammon.."

That made me so happy.

It's the little things in life that are the big things.

Breaking From Australia: Australian Defence League Member Targeted in Shooting

You have to love the headline:

"Anti-Islamic extremist group member" targeted.

It's like the ho-hum part is that he was shot at! The more important thing is that he is allegedly some kind of "anti-Islamic extremist group member". That's the real news story, right?

A group called "Millatu Ibrahim" is threatening him.

Mr. Nathan Abela says this:

"He then says he believes he was targeted for speaking publicly about his views."

"That's what we as Australians now have to suffer for speaking the truth, and it's not suffering when you love speaking the truth," he says.

Thanks to Andrew from Australia for sending these in.

This Didn't Happen in the Middle East: All Charges Dropped in Australia Against Registered Child Molester

From an Australian reader: 

"Registered sex offender, Ali Jaffari, accused of attempted child-stealing, has had all charges against him dropped after a Magistrate told prosecutors he would have trouble finding Jaffari guilty. Magistrate Ron Saines said if he was hearing the matter, he would have reasonable doubt, citing ‘cultural differences’ as one factor, which would result in the charges being dismissed."

"Jaffari, 35, an Afghan refugee, was convicted in Geelong Magistrates’ Court on August 22, 2013, of indecently assaulting one boy and attempting to indecently assault another. He was placed on a two-year Community Corrections Order with 300 hours unpaid community work."

SHAME ON AUSTRALIA.

Free Speech Under Assault on Campus

Talk about Jesus on campus, get told to SHUT UP by campus administrators. 

More Americans need to fight back, just like this student is doing and as Mark Steyn says-when they say YOU CAN'T SAY THAT, you say:

"Yes, I can. Screw off."

(Still waiting for that on a t-shirt...would make a magnificent edition to the Steyn collection...)

"You can't say that," on the back and "Yes, I can. Screw off," on the back.

If you allow "SHUT UP" to be the default setting, you are part of the problem.




Denmark: Bonking Animals Is Kosher, Shechita Is Not Kosher

Something rotten in the state of Denmark indeed.

When it's legal to shag your sheep or dog but getting a kosher chicken is illegal, you might want to re-examine your priorities. 

Why a Jew would want to stay in such a disgusting cesspool of antisemitism is beyond me.

Seriously. If you are a Jew who is Jewish enough to take kashrut seriously-get out of Denmark. While you can.

I imagine I have, but not without good reason.

THIS IS TODAY'S REASON:

"Oh, yes, I can. Screw off."

(Read the whole thing. As per Kathy Shaidle, we certainly don't need any more stupid, goofy "conservative" web sites. OMG. That is so "My Space". You know, if your grandparents are on Facebook, which they are, the clever young people won't be there. And if granny gets onto Instagram or SnapChat, the kids will vacate also. Conservatives need to be ahead of the game, not playing boring catch-up. Seriously, trade in your Walkmans!!!)

Mann Versus Steyn Update-Kickass Lawyer Edition

I was reading through the latest submission in the quagmire otherwise known as 'legal proceedings' in the Mann versus Steyn case. 

Clearly, there is some good news and bad news with respect to Steyn's new team of lawyers.

The good news is that they clearly understand that what is at stake is free speech.

The bad news is that they clearly understand that what is at stake is free speech.

(Actually, the good news is really that Steyn has an obvious, natural bounce in his step, judging by the increased volume of delightful essays and every day Steyn ruminations that have been posted on his own web site since parting ways with NRO.)

Anyway. Back to the stakes.

I paricularly liked this phrase:

"Freedom of speech, the glory of our vibrant way of life, should have its day in court.'

It is the glory of our way of life, but should it have its day in court? It's a right enshrined into the very fabric of America. Why must it be on trial? How sad that it must, and therefore how critical to defend it rigorously.

It is pretty shocking that freedom of speech is, in fact, on trial in America.

The Founding Fathers of America had so many good insights into human nature, that they guided and grounded all of the preliminary conversations about America's founding to liberty and freedom.

I am now reading The Autobiography of Thomas Jefferson (first published in 1821, but I'm reading the Dover Edition, 2005).

If you haven't read it, pick it up and refresh your memory about the prophet-like men who so completely understood the failings of human nature, the temptations of tyranny and the very easy slide from 'in power' to complete tyranny that they put the most safeguards into the founding building blocks of America that were humanly possible and conceivable at the time.

Re-read the Declaration of Independence.

It is so magnificent, it is a document that radiates human splendor and respect for liberty. It jumps off the pages. What a gift it is to mankind!

Reading it makes me even more angry about the litigious machines of the left that wish to grind down individual freedoms, using the courts as their own type of personal tool boxes to shut down debate and conversation.

There is no subject that should not be discussed.

Only threats should be investigated and prosecuted. The threat of real harm, that is. Libel is hard to prove and in my view, a waste of time and energy-but I'm not a lawyer.

All other utterances by humans are fair game-name calling, insults, jokes, stereotypes, you name it. That is what freedom means.

If I'm not free to say it, then someone-some human is trying to strong-arm me into not thinking it.

The hell with that.

Any actions that are made up by, and implemented by humans to shape and control speech can only propel humans on a downward slide to decreased liberty. Efforts to control speech and language never lead to an uptick in personal freedom or liberty. Of that, you can be sure.

There are a great many insightful and gripping utterances in this filing, like "abusive litigation", "abusive conduct", "disturbing pattern", "used courts to thwart discovery".

The term "vexatious and financially ruinous litigation designed to quash free speech concerning matters of public interest" is mentioned, along with "widespread recognition of the pernicious problem sassociated with abusive litigation and the need to provide relief to victims".

Steyn"s lawyers are thus suggesting the following:

"When a litigant like Mann misuses the judicial system as an instrument to silence critics
and chill free speech, state action exists. Public discourse on the important subject of the extent of alleged man-made global warming should not be chilled by the threat of tort damages for expressing criticism. Rather, such public debate should be encouraged. Uninhibited and robust public debate depends on a better informed citizenry that can receive and evaluate all sides of an issue. It is essential to self-government."

Based on that assessment, the key question in the Mann versus Steyn case becomes: will the courts confirm that public debate should and must be encouraged?

Will American courts defend the constitutional right to uninhibited and robust public debate?

Do Americans want a better informed citizenry, and what exactly will they do to defend it?

In reality, the fierce battle raging over "Climate Change" in the boardrooms, classrooms, lecture halls, houses of parliament and such, is simply a modern, secular proxy war in the battle between two opposing groups of humans. It is a  clash between those who wish for debate to remain open, i.e devotees of freedom and those who wish to shut it down, control our lives and forever shut people up indiscriminately.

Biblical prophets and the Founding Fathers of America knew that the totalitarian instinct never disappears from ambitious, power-hungry humans. It can't be quashed, ever, so the Founders looked to biblical sources to try and craft the most innovative and ingenious human safeguards imaginable. 

The current foe of freedom, this new, secular environmentally-camouflaged incarnation of totalitarianism has many disciples,

It takes many forms, and there is much at stake, so stay tuned and fight back where and when you can.

Dying Father Sees His 11 Year Old Daughter Down the "Aisle" Knowing He Won't Be There For Her Wedding Day

Just read it. 

"She Was Still Alive As Her Boyfriend Started to Cut Off Her Head With A Knife"

This did not happen in the Middle East. 

This happened in England.

Sheffield to be precise.

Apparently we are to believe that the alleged assailant, after having blackmailed his girlfriend with exposing her in sexually revealing photos, that he in fact, was 'schizophrenic'.

Apparently, he didn't take too kindly to the infidels who tried to save his life.

"Hussein was calm when he was first arrested, but after he was taken to the nearby Northern General Hospital for treatment he attacked staff trying to help him, Mr Reeds said."

"He allegedly assaulted a cardiothoracic surgeon and an anaesthetist as well as police officers who tried to restrain him, biting one of them, before he was injected with a sedative."

What a pity he survived. He'll likely go on to a college education in prison, halal meals, religious instruction, etc...and have a fine life in jail. 


Bruce Bawer also comments on "Islamizing Britain's Schools". 

The future does not look rosy for jolly old England.

It's very hard to have a civilized discussion about the future of Britain, or the future of anything while your head is being separated from your neck and you are alive for only a few bloody, suffering moments as you understand what has happened, as the life drains out of you.

This is a horrible crime and a horrible reality for England.

American Taxpayer's Money Well Spent: State Department Blows Camels

So the State Department is blowing camels. 

Fact!

Whoops.

Sorry. I meant, silly me....what I mean is:

The State Department has blown $400,000 of your hard-earned money on a camel sculpture in Pakistan! For the new, shiny, pretty embassy in Islamabad.

The tribute to the camel is such a culturally sensitive and lovely thing, isn't it?

It's 'Camel (Albino) Contemplating Needle (Large)". 

Not a heroin needle, silly. Just some needle.

WHO KNEW THAT CAMELS CONTEMPLATED?!?!?

jb-c2

So, do regular and non-Albino camels also contemplate?

Do they contemplate small needles as well as large ones???

See I am such a philistine, I never knew that camels did that kind of stuff.

I just don't get "art", I suppose.  It's meant to be some kind of a nod to a New Testament passage, so I am TOTALLY SURE that the Pakistanis are going to looooooooove that part of it. A dhimmi American and his infidel bible quote for the infidel embassy.

PERFECT.

SMART POWER!!!




Travel Advisory Issued Against Jews Travelling to Malmø, Sweden

Malmø is Dar-Al-Islam. 

GET.

OVER.

IT. 

Jews must understand this point and then make a decision about whether or not they wish to live in Swedish Dar-Al-Islam or leave for greener, safer Dar Al Harb pastures in other countries.

"Malmø’s Jews has been subjected to an increasing number of anti-Semitic crimes and attacks, almost all performed by people with Muslim Middle Eastern immigrant background."

HO HUM!

NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

And of course, as always, it's not "just" a Jewish problem. (But it's always cute to blame the Jews for antisemitism.)

Where antipathy and violence toward Jews reigns supreme, civilization-that is to say civilized behavior based on Judeo-Christian codes of morality, goes down the toilet.

More here, here, here and here.
