"Never Again" was a rather juvenile, utopian phrase that made a lot of people-Jews especially-feel better after the Holocaust.
The only thing "Never Again" means is because we Jews have a state, we will never again have to count on the "mercy" of any other nation for the right to exist.
To project any other meaning onto that trite phrase is an exercise in wishful thinking, and therefore dangerous to the Jews and to the West.
And enough with the misplaced pity for our enemies.
Therefore, despite the heartbreaking and excruciating losses of Jewish lives, the Jews will go on and as a nation we are in a better position now than ever before in our long history.
So "Never Again" means that Jewish families become bereaved. Many.
It means that we must never again have any doubt that Europe is a cesspool of Jew-hate and no Jews should contemplate living there, no Jew should enrich Europe in any way-financially, politically, intellectually, technologically or otherwise.
It means that John Kerry can go screw himself.
It means that the Hamas cheerleaders in the most anti-Jewish American administration ever can also screw themselves.
"My bad."
The people running America from the White House right have a lethal combination of mental and intellectual retardation with a whopping mother lode of antipathy and venom toward the Jews and Israel.
That's called Judenhaas.
Europe remains soaked in blood, lots of Jewish blood among the blood of many others. But while other may try to eke out a secular, post-Christian life as the caliphate further ensconces itself on the continent, there is no Jewish future in Europe whatsoever.
A picture of London from Douglas Murray: antisemitism central that quite literally paralyzed London. Quite an accomplishment. Congratulations, Britain.
London looks like Gaza City.
So does downtown Toronto.
Pogroms in France, yet Reuters uses scare quotes for "Antisemitic".
You cannot be pro-West if you are pro-Palestinian.
You cannot root for the death cult and be part of a thriving society bound for prosperity and human achievement.
When all you applaud is death, nihilism and killing Jews, and that is tolerated and encouraged by your host country, your fragile democracy (or other system), your society will start to crumble and disintegrate, as we see now.
Countries and societies are making their choices now and they will have to live for now with those choices and die as a result of them.
Israel and the Jews will continue to thrive as will societies that value 'their' Jews and Judeo-Christian values.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Jewish Mom Blogs About All Things Possible Ministry and A Fundraiser For A Little American Kid With a Terrible Disease
It's really upsetting to see that his insurance company thinks a non-stick wheelchair is a 'convenience' and not a necessity.

For shame. Poor little guy.
Anyway, please spread the word.

Hey America, This Story Makes Me Sick
"Trigger Warning"
This is not a feel good story. Even the headline should make your blood boil.
"VA gives new wheelchair..."
Really?
They deign to 'give' him something that he needed for years?
A veteran WITH NO LEGS could not get a new wheelchair from your stupid, crappy, bloated, evil bureaucracy.
This is SHAMEFUL.
This should make Americans feel deeply ashamed. It should make you angry and understand that bureaucracies help very few people in reality. Bureaucracies are designed to preserve the good life of the bureaucrats.
Sure, there are good people working in vast administrations, but the tendency toward anonymous, blameless, shiftless wading-in-the-water till I get my pension mentality-with no accountability, is prevalent because these behemoths are run by humans, very flawed humans.
America- you need to be ashamed at how the disgusting VA bureaucracy treats veterans, who have put their life on the line and lost limbs and parts of their souls in order to keep you free.
G-d bless the Lowe's employees who helped this guy, as they note-without paper work-just doing the right thing.
To wit:
"Sulsona, who lost both of his legs after stepping on a land mine in Vietnam 40 years ago, encountered an unexpected act of kindness last week after his wheelchair fell apart in Lowe's Home Improvement Center on Forest Avenue in Mariners Harbor"
"After seeing what happened, three employees at the store told him, "we're not leaving here until the wheelchair is fixed," and proceeded to repair the broken parts."
"No one needed permission, there were no forms to fill out, no incident reports -- they just saw a guy in trouble and helped," he said of the three workers."
"On Tuesday, after waiting more than two years for a replacement wheelchair, Sulsona said the VA finally delivered a brand new wheelchair to his home."
Three good men, random strangers in a store did in a few hours what the entire, disgusting VA bureaucracy would not do for this veteran in two years of pleading.
Does it get more disgusting than this?
Here's the VA Spokesjerkoff:
"We were very grateful that this was brought to our attention," said VA spokesman Jim Blue with the VA New York/New Jersey Healthcare Network."
(Could that sentence be any further laden with dogsqueeze?)
"Too many veterans wait too long to receive their health care and benefits and this has never been acceptable."
Really? If it's not acceptable, then how come these warriors are expected to accept the unacceptable?
How come Americans tolerate the unacceptable?
This passive language-"it's unacceptable" just translates to 'glad to rid my hands of this'.
It's a general vague, pass-the-buck phrase that means absolutely nothing.
Contemptuous, despicable and typical.
Shame on the VA system and shame on every American who accepts the unacceptable without even a peep of protest.
Please be more like the Lowe's guys.

Breathtaking Double Rainbow Last Night
I gasped when I went outside and saw this, I can't believe anyone could witness such beauty and not feel a higher power.
This week I have had many thoughts about G-d, conversations also. My son was unwell Sunday (better now) and it was scary. Then two days later, we had some incredibly good news about one of his conditions-pretty much miraculous.
In the meantime, I heard about a terrible accident involving a friend's child so if you pray, please remember Nosson Ben Sarah in your prayers, and the family requests also do continue to do good deeds in his merit.
When I saw this double rainbow, it really took my breath away and reminded me of the Almighty.
Hashem is everywhere, all around us.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֶלוֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם זוֹכֵר הַבְּרִית וְנֶאֱמָן בִּבְרִיתוֹ וְקַיָם בְּמַאֲמָרו
Baruch ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu melech ha'olam zocher ha'brit v'ne'eman bivrito v'kayam b'ma'amaro.
Blessed are You, Lord our G‑d, King of the universe, who remembers the covenant, and is faithful to His covenant, and keeps His promise.

Hamas to Israeli Arabs: Don't Worry, Chabibis-Our Missiles Only Target Da JOOOOOOOOOOOOS
Yes, they are serious.
If you thought the Jews were dastardly and clever, wait till you hear about the Sooooper Seeeekrit Jew-Sensing Missiles that Hamas has come up with!
Just because they are losing, that they aren't dangerous.
An analysis from the very smart and gutsy Khaled Abu Toameh here-is it about the money and "honour"?
Just don't forget, they want to kill us all-all of us infidels.
Just a reminder.

Steyn: A Rare Point of Agreement
An insightful and devastatingly accurate picture of Judenhaas-filled Europe from Mark Steyn.
I must say it's quite artful the way he weaves together the related threads of pathological Jew-hatred that are found in Europe today (as they always were).
A friend of mine used to say that the far left and the far right meet at Jew Hate Junction.
How true.
Steynian understatement of the year (And I'm seriously keeling over about the phrase 'restive Muslim populations' - I mean for real and not for joking, OMG could you not just die?!?!?)
"At one level, it's a form of displacement. Britain, France and other countries are Islamizing fast, and native hedonists and their restive Muslim populations have profound disagreements on where their societies are headed: The post-Christian Euro-left think they've built a secular society where gay marriage and gender fluidity are to be celebrated; significant percentages of young Muslims want to live under Sharia and believe apostasy should be punishable by death. Reconciling these conflicting visions will prove tricky."
YA THINK?!?!??!
And then this utter MARKSTERPIECE:
"Ethnic Europeans and excitable young Muslims [Ed. note: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA] don't agree on gays or women's rights or bacon butties or clitoridectomies or Page Three girls or cousin marriage, but they do agree that, in the famous words of the late Daniel Bernard, French Ambassador to the Court of St James's, "all the current troubles of the world are because of that shitty little country Israel".
(I'm dumbfounded by these two simply brilliant paragraphs and Steyn's gift for moral clarity, his devastating aim and fortitude. Seriously, my mouth is pretty much gaping open in this kind of HUH/DUH HOW DOES HE DO THAT kind of pose. It's not very attractive, and I'm not particularly proud of it, but you'll keep that between us, right?!??!)
I may have to frame that second paragraph.
Is it wrong that I'm kind of in love with it?
DON'T ANSWER THAT.
Do not, and I mean, do not EVER, EVER EVAH EVAH EVAH, harsh my SteynBuzz, mmmkay?
(P.S Jew haters can go f&ck themselves. Am Yisrael Chai!)

Must Read: Judith Curry on "Science, the Evolving Status of a Word"
This is an excellent post.
I think it's important to read because she really nails the word "scientist" and frankly, the over credentialization of humanity is a real problem in many, many realms.
You must now buy your house from a "realtor" (with credentials) and your children are taught not by teachers but by "educators".
All the puffed up puffery has contributed to a real decline in the meaning of anything and therefore-everything.
The internet has democratized many things-and that's good!
Few people use travel agents nowadays, or bank tellers. Industries evolve as technology democratizes. The internet is a huge part of that. Digital printing will do the same.
Think of the print industry! Remember the first time you ordered business cards?
Remember Atari? Your VHS?
She concludes this very clever piece with the following:
"...I find the democratization of climate science by internet to be absolutely fascinating, and I would like to facilitate this in any way that I can."
And that, my friends is what is freaking out Big Climate.

OMG I Am Pretty Much Peeing in My Pants At This Stuff
Via evil, seekrit Jew Kathy Draidle.
I AM DYING.
The second video is making me cry I am laughing so hard.
I'm gonna die. That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
Holy crap that is funny stuff.
Seriously, what is so difficult to understand about 'if you don't like my videos, don't watch them'.
It's very simple, and that's what most normal people would do.
But for the perpetually offended, grubby masses, it's not enough. You cannot have that choice. You must listen to them. What they find offensive must be shut down.
Don't let people shut you up or shut you down.

"French Jewry's Moment of Truth"
Some reflections on the jihadist pogrom in Paris.
"On July 13, Bernard Abouaf, a French Jewish journalist, posted on his Facebook wall: “I just passed through one of the truest moments in my life.” A bit earlier, he had been an eyewitness to a pogrom attempt."
"About one hundred Muslim thugs had gathered in front of the Don Isaac Abravanel synagogue in Central Paris, a few blocks away from Place de la Bastille (Bastille Circle), and threatened to storm it. Two to three hundred worshipers, who had gathered for a pro-Israel religious service, were locked inside. There were five police officers to protect them–and two dozen Jewish youths trained in martial arts who were members of the Jewish community sponsored Security Organization or of the more militant Jewish Defense League."
"The demonstrators–almost all of them of North African or Subsaharan African origin–shouted explicitly anti-Semitic slogans, notably “Itbah al-Yahud!” (Slaughter the Jews, in Arabic.) Any time they would spot Jewish-owned shops or professional offices they would cover the doors or windows with stickers urging, “to boycott the racist State of Israel.” On Sunday, several thousands pro-Palestinian and pro-jihadist demonstrators marched for miles across the city, from the heavily Muslim Barbes neighborhood to places with large Jewish populations and many synagogues like the Bastille area. The mobsters that attacked the Don Isaac Abravanel synagogue were some of them."
From another eyewitness:
"Yesterday, a part of my love for France went away."
"Another Jewish journalist, Daniel Bensoussan, told The Jerusalem Post that the demonstration on Sunday, and others on Saturday, was organized by the far-left New Anticapitalist Party. Thousands of people – leftists and Muslims from the suburbs, among them many veiled young women – marched in the streets of the capital screaming: “Allahu akbar! We all are Palestinians! Israel murderer!” Bensoussan said."
"Never Again" is bullshit.
Because it's AGAIN, NOW.
The only places that Jews should even consider living in are: Australia (but they have their Lebanese issues), Canada, America (notwithstanding the anti-Jewish Obama administration) and Israel.

Jay Nordlinger on a Gathering of the Anti-Communist Tribes
Lovely essay, thanks to Winston for sending it my way.
"Rarely do I feel more at home than among the anti-Communists. They are my tribe, or archipelago of tribes. I have always been drawn to them, I think, because they tell the truth."
"They abide by the Solzhenitsyn doctrine “Live not by lies.”
"And people in the Free World — to say nothing of the unfree world — are always lying about Communism. No one lies about Nazism, outside of David Irving and the Iranian government. Many lie about Communism."

Health Survey Identifies (Only) 3% of the Population As Gay or Bisexual
Big Gay must be very disappointed.
"The figures offered a slightly smaller assessment of the size of the gay, lesbian and bisexual population than other surveys, which have pegged the overall proportion at closer to 3.5 or 4 percent. In particular, the estimate for bisexuals was lower than in some other surveys."

Hamas: Do You Know About It? Do You Get It?
LOTS of commentary about Israel, Hamas, lately.
I think there is one litmus test for these articles: do they mention the jihad or not?
If they do, then the writer gets it.
If they don't, the writer can still be considered bright and make some excellent points, but he or she just doesn't get it.
And as Holocaust scholar Michael Marrus once said about the Holocaust (and remember, the spirit of the Nazis is what is guiding Hamas, they are the "neo-Nazis"): there is a difference between "knowing it" and "getting it".
This is a good one from Brendan O'Neill at Spiked.
It identifies the current "anti-Israel" movement as being nakedly antisemitic. So that's a good start and this article is very well written and clear. But, unfortunately, there is no mention of the jihad.
But this one from John Podhoretz is a real disappointment.
It's another Daniel Pipe-esque piece that analyzes a bunch of factors at play in the current battle, without mentioning Islam or the jihad.
Therefore, it is a gutless and pointless article from an otherwise smart man.
Smart man, stupid article.
What a pity.
It is pathetic when Jews who should know better, (especially Official Jews and Jews in media, academic and politics) shy away from mentioning the religious element of this war.
Tip toeing around jihad does not make you or anyone else safer, chaverim. It makes it worse.
In the meantime, the culture of death and those who identify it will continue to serve their death cult masters, and dance with blood on their hands.
Israel and the Jews, and the non-Jews who support us will continue to celebrate life, and to preserve life- even at the risk of losing one's own life to save others.
So shame on all of you gutless, syndicated, cocktail circuit, eunuchs who won't utter the word jihad.

New York Times Slobbers Into Drool Bucket Over "Dinner Table" President
Oooh, he loves to have dinner parties!
It's really at dinner parties where the president really let his incredible intellect loose!
Because being the president of the (former) super power is NOT intellectually challenging at all.
Swoon. Oh swooony swooon!
Isn't he so dreamy???
At dinner parties, he can really be himself and talk about art and architecture! So much more interesting and like, real, you know??! So much better than talking to Rethuglicans about icky, stupid meanwich politics! See?
"Freewheeling, with conversation touching on art, architecture and literature, the gatherings are a world away from the stilted meals Mr. Obama had last year with Senate Republican leaders at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington."
More of this tripe:

Rome in March, Mr. Piano said, the president seemed happy to talk about
something other than politics and current events.
“I think he was
refreshed to sit down in a beautiful place, with good food, and talking
with serenity about important things,” Mr. Piano said. He recalled that
Mr. Obama, who once had dreams of becoming an architect, had many
questions about Mr. Piano’s work."
(He's EVERYMAN. He's you, me, every career, every parent. All about ME ME ME ME ME TOOO!!!)
“It was a real curiosity of a real man who was trying to explore how things happen,” Mr. Piano said."
Even for the New York Times, this barftastic piece of idol-worship is a new low.

How Hamas Got Rich While Average Gazans Stay Poor
But I thought everything was because of DA JOOOOOOOOOOS?
Apparently, being the head of a terrorist organization in Gaza is very profitable!
"In 2010, Egyptian magazine Rose al-Yusuf reported that Haniyeh paid for $4 million for a 2,500msq parcel of land area in Rimal, a tony beachfront neighborhood of Gaza City. To avoid embarrassment, the land was registered in the name of the husband of Haniyeh's daughter. Since then, there have been reports that Haniyeh has purchased several homes in the Gaza Strip, registered in the names of his children - no hardship, as he has 13 of them."
"According to sources in Gaza, Haniyeh's wealth, like others high up in Hamas, came primarily from the flourishing tunnel industry. Senior Hamas figures, Haniyeh included, would levy 20 percent taxation on all of the trade passing through the tunnels"
"Hamas's heyday came after the overthrow of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, as its parent organization the Muslim Brotherhood was growing in popularity in Egypt."
"In those days, Hamas leaders and their associates were not afraid to show off their ostentatious wealth. Gaza's market for luxury villas costing at least a million dollars was booming, most purchased by people associated with the establishment of Hamas."
"A Gazan familiar with the real estate market summed it up at the time with a quip about a Hamas crony who had recently acquired a luxury villa: "Two years ago, he couldn’t afford a packet of cigarettes."
Apparently, being the head of a terrorist organization in Gaza is very profitable!
"In 2010, Egyptian magazine Rose al-Yusuf reported that Haniyeh paid for $4 million for a 2,500msq parcel of land area in Rimal, a tony beachfront neighborhood of Gaza City. To avoid embarrassment, the land was registered in the name of the husband of Haniyeh's daughter. Since then, there have been reports that Haniyeh has purchased several homes in the Gaza Strip, registered in the names of his children - no hardship, as he has 13 of them."
"According to sources in Gaza, Haniyeh's wealth, like others high up in Hamas, came primarily from the flourishing tunnel industry. Senior Hamas figures, Haniyeh included, would levy 20 percent taxation on all of the trade passing through the tunnels"
"Hamas's heyday came after the overthrow of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, as its parent organization the Muslim Brotherhood was growing in popularity in Egypt."
"In those days, Hamas leaders and their associates were not afraid to show off their ostentatious wealth. Gaza's market for luxury villas costing at least a million dollars was booming, most purchased by people associated with the establishment of Hamas."

For Shame: Jihadist Murderer of Lee Rigby Allowed to Appeal Life Sentence Because of "Mental Illnes"
What kind of mental illness exactly?
Do recall that the shouts that were heard as they slit the throat of innocent Lee Rigby were "Allahu Akbar".
Just a reminder of who we are dealing with.
"In broad daylight, an attacker and an accomplice repeatedly stabbed and tried to behead the man in front of dozens of passers-by."
"After the attack, speaking in a clear south London accent, the man named as Adebolajo said: ‘You people will never be safe. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’"
"Throughout the frenzied attack the two killers shouted ‘Allah Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is great’ – then demanded horrified witnesses film them as they ranted over the crumpled body."
In court, as a reminder, the murderers had to be dragged out as they screamed "Allahu Akbar".
Apparently, in the United Kingdom-"Life means life" actually means "dhimmi bullshit".
So, exactly what kind of mental illness are we talking about?
Would anyone care to elucidate?

Quite Delicious: Maureen Dowd On Chelsea Clinton and the Clinton Family Business
This packs a punch:
"Despite
a tough role as the go-between in the highly public and embarrassing
marital contretemps of her parents, Chelsea stayed classy."
"So
it’s strange to see her acting out in a sense now, joining her parents
in cashing in to help feed the rapacious, gaping maw of Clinton Inc."
"With
her 1 percenter mother under fire for disingenuously calling herself
“dead broke” when she left the White House, why would Chelsea want to
open herself up to criticism that she is gobbling whopping paychecks not
commensurate with her skills, experience or role in life?"
(ANSWER BELOW...wait for it....)
She notes:
"The Clintons keep acting as though all they care about is selfless
public service. So why does it keep coming back to gross money grabs?
It’s gone from two-for-the-price-of-one to three-for-the-price-of-20. "
"...the lucrative family speechmaking business has generated more than $100
million for the former president and first lady, whose fees range from
$200,000 to $700,000 per appearance. Bill alone earned $17 million last
year doing what he likes to do best — talking."
That is the answer to the question above-why?!?!
"It's the $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $, stupid."
Archie Andrews Will Be Shot, and Die Saving His Gay Best Friend (Not a Joke, For Realsies)
I thought Jughead was Archie's best friend.
But from this headline it's not really clear if the guy is Archie's best gay friend, or his best friend who is gay. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT, ETC, YADDA YADDA.
Apparently all that matters now is that a new era of embracing sexual diversity through COMIC BOOKS is upon us.
Why does Archie have to die?
That is the most pathetic, stupid and silly thing.
I am so glad that this kind of trite crap was not part of Archie comic narratives when I was little, and I'm glad my kids don't read comics.
Is nothing sacred?
(Don't answer that.)

Egypt Rooting for Israel? Interesting Analysis From Khaled Abu Toameh
I think Mr. Abu Toameh is one of the bravest journalists publishing today.
He is a Palestinian who has publicly written about the press freedom he enjoys in Israel, and comments on antisemitism and Middle Eastern and Palestinian affairs. That takes a lot of guts and I commend him.
I strongly recommend that you follow his writings.
This is an interesting piece-is Egypt rooting for Israel in Gaza?
Is Egypt really hoping that Israel will destroy Hamas?
"Some Egyptians are even openly expressing hope that Israel will completely destroy Hamas, which they regard as the "armed branch of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization."
"Sisi's Egypt has not forgiven Hamas for its alliance with Muslim Brotherhood and its involvement in terrorist attacks against Egyptian civilians and soldiers over the past year."
"The Egyptians today understand that Hamas and other radical Islamist groups pose a serious threat to their national security. That is why the Egyptian authorities have, over the past year, been taking tough security measures not only against Hamas, but also the entire population of the Gaza Strip."

"Police are neutral during protests."
That's the problem, isn't it-in a nutshell?
Police actually should not be "neutral".
They should be taking the side of liberty, taking the side of upholding the laws of the land, taking the side of civility and the rule of law.

Jerusalem Palestinians Root For Missiles and Gaza (i.e Death), Instead of Taking Shelter
"Um Jumaa, 35, said that even if bomb shelters
existed, she wouldn’t use them. When the siren began on Saturday evening
she opened her home’s windows and went outside with her family."
"The children were shouting allahu akbar
and we were clapping. We explained to them that Jews have attacked
children and this is retaliation. They say ‘My God, may they [the
rockets] hit the Jews, and may they die, just the way they hit us.’”
Even if rockets hit the Old City, she added, she would have no problem
because “we are no different from them [in Gaza].”

Liberals: The Facts Are Irrelevant, Rahm Emmanuel Crime Stats Edition
This is a very good piece from Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker.
"Reporter corners Rahm."
You should read the whole thing, because it's very instructive to see how liberal "leaders" behave when they are asked to comment upon facts.
Facts are hateful! Racist!
Facts are irrelevant to liberal extremists.
Read this whole piece. They are never ashamed or embarrassed either.
"Frequently wrong, never in doubt."
Remember, Chicago is home of Obama and the "community organizer"/Alinsky/Ayers/Daley machine.

Daniel Pipes: "Why Does Hamas Want War?" (An Exceptionally Dumb Article From A Relatively Smart Person)
It's articles like this that make me seriously wonder if anyone reads Daniel Pipes or NRO anymore.
I mean SERIOUSLY.
Why does Hamas want war?
Well, I know I'm not very bright, but I actually have the answer.
And it's a better one than the one Pipes has come up with.
Try this on for size:
"It's the jihad, stupid."
Therefore, this is an exceptionally dumb article by a relatively smart person.
But you simply cannot have a discussion about Hamas, or write an article about Hamas without mentioning jihad and Islam.
YOU'RE WELCOME!

The First Post-American President and the First Jew-Hating American Administration
Isn't it interesting how President Obama wants to broker a cease fire between Israel and Hamas only after Hamas started to get its ass kicked in the Gaza strip, and Israel started to amass troops and is preparing for a ground war?
If you were a regular person, you might assume that President Obama is more worried about Hamas than Israel, wouldn't you?
This has been a terrible week for Israel, but an even more dreadful one for US-American relations which have never been worse or more harmful to Israel.
Ben Shapiro identifies it as an 'almost' Jew-hating, but certainly Israel-hating administration.
Do read Caroline Glick's excellent column:
Hamas' (and Iran's) Fail Safe Strategy
"Jew-hatred is endemic in the Muslim world. Going to war against Israel is a tried and true method of garnering sympathy and support from the Muslim world. At a minimum it earns you the forbearance, if not the support of the US and Europe. And you get all of these things whether you win or lose."
"As for Hamas, from the outset of Hamas’s previous missile campaigns in 2009 and 2012, the Obama administration made it clear to Israel that it would not tolerate Israeli strikes that were sufficiently comprehensive to wipe out Hamas’s capacity to continue attacking Israel. In other words, President Barack Obama chose to protect Hamas – an illegal terrorist organization, waging a war of indiscriminate, criminal missile strikes against Israeli civilians – from Israel."

Touching: 3 Year Old Cancer Patient Is Sworn in As America's Youngest Sheriff
OK this is just beautiful.
When you get cynical, and feel like crap, or feel sorry for yourself think about a 3 year old going through cancer treatment and the magnificent response of the Huntington County Sheriff's Office.
"As a tribute to his courage throughout his treatments, an Indiana sheriff and a state trooper visited Wyatt at his room in Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health, giving him the powers of a sheriff deputy – as well as a badge and uniform. Terry Stoffel, a sheriff for Huntington County, noted that the title is an official designation."
"We have given Wyatt all the powers of a real sheriff deputy, which are to carry out the orders of the sheriff. Right now, his only orders are to get better,” Stoffel said."
"According to doctors at Riley Hospital, such acts of kindness can really help to make children well again."

Chabad Mitzvah Tank Visits Troops Near Gaza
G-d bless Chabad, they do so many wonderful works.
I think the title though is a bit misleading, they are not really "joining" the troops, they are supporting them and their spiritual needs and that is also wonderful, but their physical selves are not in the same line of danger.
The photos are quite lovely, and certainly it is better to do something than nothing.
However, I thought this photo uniquely portrayed, better than 1,000 words ever could, the beauty and the magnificent uniqueness and courage of the people of Israel and the wonders of the Jewish people having our own state and our own fine, brave male and female warriors.
We need male and female soldiers, men and women spiritual fighters and for the ultra-orthodox to do their share of the physical war as well. With a slight adjustment to this picture-some khakis on the ultra-orthodox (as per Nahal Haredi for example) we will be unstoppable.

Outstanding: The First-And Last Time-I Wore Tefillin
What a beautiful personal essay.
Do read the whole thing.
This part made me so sad-and I think it is a very common thread amongst children who are used as gender experiments by their 'progressive' parents (who never experiment on themselves).
"My professor had assigned Slavenka Drakulić’s feminist essay collection How I Survived Communism and Even Laughed. Drakulić wrote that despite the supposedly equal status of women and men in Communist societies, feminine needs and desires were ignored if they departed from masculine ones. Women in Communist countries couldn’t even get their hands on decent sanitary pads or tampons. Visiting feminists from the West told their Eastern European colleagues that they shouldn’t wear high-heels or makeup, but to women who had been deprived of their feminine identities, wearing these things felt like resistance to the communist state."
"Drakulić suggested women could be equal in status with men if people accepted them as essentially different, but of equal value. The needs of women and girls must be met, and their unique strengths must be prized. Most importantly, each woman had to choose her path herself. Neither a misogynist ideology nor a self-described “feminist” one should limit her choices."
"Drakulić tells a story in her book that speaks to me: Sharing my mother’s feminist sensibilities, she refused to buy her daughter a Barbie. And then, she writes, “only a couple of days before her twenty-second birthday, when I asked her what she wanted for a present, she told me she wanted a Barbie doll.”

So well said.
Seriously-kudos.
The author has put into words what I have been noticing all around. I thought that the left had just adopted another pet, but it's clear that it's more of a religious fervor and heretics shall be burnt at the stake.
"Over the past few months, with impressive swiftness, our nation’s growing identity-based religious fervor has risen in one particular form: ardent, impassioned, unquestioning transgender boosterism.
"In late May, Time magazine announced America’s “Transgender Tipping Point,” featuring formerly male television star Laverne Cox. Time’s article spurred a flurry of giddy media responses; meanwhile, at gay pride events across the nation, “newer, edgier, and angrier” TransPride rallies, as described by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, often stole the show."

Humanity is Doomed: Australian Judge Says Incest May No Longer Be Taboo
What the heck is in the water in Australia?
"A judge in Australia has been criticised after saying incest may no longer be
a taboo and that the community may now accept consensual sex between adult
siblings"
"Judge Garry Neilson, from the district court in the state of New South Wales,
likened incest to homosexuality, which was once regarded as criminal and "unnatural"
but is now widely accepted.
He said incest was now only a crime because it may lead to abnormalities in
offspring but this rationale was increasingly irrelevant because of the
availability of contraception and abortion."
I'm sure gays will be delighted that they are being compared to purveyors of incest. How delightful. But abortion cures everything, right? Even incest!
Humanity is doomed.

Interview With David Mamet in Israel
Nice.
Very smart guy.
I actually love that he stopped the production of his play when a bunch of progressive morons tried to 'gender fluidify' his play.
Here's an interview with him from The Jerusalem Post.
"Asked to comment on the fact that he is coming back just at the moment when it seems as if a third intifada may be starting, Mamet answers the question, as he answers many questions, with a joke."
“Do you know the old Jewish joke about Abie and Sadie? Abie says to Sadie, ‘When we were little kids in the shtetl and the Cossacks came, you were there. When Hitler, may his name be erased, invaded, you were there. When I had my heart attack, you were there. Sadie, you’re a f**king jinx."
"Well, I hope I’m not a f**king jinx.”

Why Are Today's Young Women So Unashamed About Being Fat?
Good question.
I've often asked myself the same thing, but it's not just young women, it's older ones also.
It's one thing to be grossly overweight and relatively inconspicuous about it, but it's quite another to flaunt the blubber.
Or is the answer to the question BECAUSE FEMINISM.

Sorry America, If You Can't Have a Bake Sale Without Federal Intrusion, You Are Not A Free Country
I like the line about it being impossible to raise funds for schools by selling carrots.
Nicely played.
However-the deeper truth is that a puffed up, stuffed up federal bureaucracy simply has no business at the bake sales of school children.
Someone, in fact many people, need to tell the government to shove their muffin meddling up their wazoos.
If some idiot bureaucrat in Washington, D.C can regulate and make proclamations and order individual citizens, students and parents around regarding the number of bake sales that they can hold in Tennessee, then I'm sorry-you are not a free people or a free country.
Tea sparked a revolution for freedom on your fine shores.
How ironic then is it, that a gross infringement on personal liberty via a simple cupcake could be the beginning of the end of liberty in America just a short few hundred years later?

However-the deeper truth is that a puffed up, stuffed up federal bureaucracy simply has no business at the bake sales of school children.
Someone, in fact many people, need to tell the government to shove their muffin meddling up their wazoos.
If some idiot bureaucrat in Washington, D.C can regulate and make proclamations and order individual citizens, students and parents around regarding the number of bake sales that they can hold in Tennessee, then I'm sorry-you are not a free people or a free country.
Tea sparked a revolution for freedom on your fine shores.
How ironic then is it, that a gross infringement on personal liberty via a simple cupcake could be the beginning of the end of liberty in America just a short few hundred years later?
Why Does the Toronto District School Board Despise Disabled Children and Make Their Lives Harder?
When you have a choice of making a difficult life less difficult-wouldn't you choose to do so?
Apparently, this is too much to ask from the officials of the Toronto District School Board.
As scaramouche says-their behaviour is disgusting and indefensible-particularly considering their exquisite sensitivity to other "diverse" student populations.

Naftali Bennett Speaks At Israeli "Peace Conference"-Amazing, Must Watch (With My Translation From Hebrew).
This is your must watch/read of the day.
This is a proud Jew and Zionist. This is a Jew telling it like it is. Outstanding.
I like the cut of Naftali Bennett's jib.
I did a rough translation. Feel free to share it. If you are a Hebrew speaker reading it, feel free to send me edits-I'm obviously not a professional translator, but I think you get the idea. It's a pretty close translation.
Here is my translation:
Moderator:
My friends, friends, we understand your opposition. There is definitely room for that, but we invited Minister Bennett and I would ask that you give him a chance to speak, under the slogan of “It’s Time for Peace” and give him a chance to explain how he sees his peace.
Bennett:
Good afternoon.
In my previous life, I started, with three friends-more talented than me, a start up and we had a certain vision, and a very clear business plan- the product was for individual internet purchases with credit cards, everything was perfect on paper, we raised money and were on our way. We had all the plans.
After a year and a half, going two hundred kilometers per hour 70 employees, huge monthly expenses, month after month and we had no sales.
Each month, I had to stand in front of our directorate and say, here is our plan-what has to happen is, if we sell our product to 10 clients we will break event and then get start to make a profit. And another month went by and we had no profit, so what did we do? We moved the columns on our Excel spreadsheet one column over to the right. Another month, and another month we were heading right into a wall, going 200 km per hour.
Until, one day my deputy financial director Gilad Zvi said to me ‘Naftali, if we continue like this, the company will close’.
And at that moment, that was my moment of awakening that turned everything upside down, it was hard. WE changed everything. The product, the product that we had invested so much time and money and energy into-we threw it out. We went with a completely different product, turned course 180 degrees, we were also forced to trip our workforce down to 27 employees from 70. Now there are 400 employees in the company. And in the end, after a number of years, we hung on, and we even turned a profit.
The Israeli left, sitting here in the audience, like us-we raped the reality to fit an imaginary plan. Month after month, year after year rapes reality to fit its own theory.
How many missiles have to fall on the residents of Beersheva, Sderot and Ashkelon until you
(crowd yelling)
Bennett:
Friends, this is the last place that I thought that people would be prevented from speaking. And whoever tries will not succeed. I represent millions of Israeli citizens and I will say it again and again. And nobody will shut my mouth.
On the ground, the imaginary peace-over and over gets hit by reality missiles and it’s time to wake up.
The same “experts” and I see a list there or organizations-it’s exactly the same people who brought a terrorist organization from Tunis to Judea and Samaria-it’s the same people, who said when there were victims, that they were “victims for peace”, the same people who challenged the Prime Minister of Israel to expel 8,000 Jews from Gush Katif, and in return, they built a terrorist base that today-is used to launch missiles on Israeli citizens, from the very same houses from which Jews were expelled.
These are the same people who explained to us that we are so close-just a touch away from peace with Syria if we could just surrender the Golan. Ladies and gentlemen, if we had surrendered G-d forbid, the Golan, Diash and El Nusra and would be washing their feet in the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) beside Ein Gev.
When will you make a new plan?
I would like to present a vision for peace, but for real peace and it will take time and it will take courage.
Moderator:
Friends, this isn’t an election meeting. I would ask that you let Minister Bennett speak and let him say what he has to say. Listen politely, whoever doesn’t like it can leave the auditorium, but we came here to listen to speakers from various perspectives and I ask that you let Minister Bennett say what he has to say. Thank you very much.

The Middle East has entered a new era, the era of the Muslim Spring, with instability that could last five years, fifty years, one hundred years. From Egypt which had a revolution and a counter-revolution, to Iraq, which is falling apart in front of our eyes, with the Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites, where a tiny organization Diyash (ISIS) has conqured northern Iraq; Mosul Tikrit, Falujah with a force of about 1,000 violent fighters, so violent that even Al Qeida stays away from them, through to Lebanon, through to Syria-where there a civil war, where the Syrian government has slaughtered 150,000 of its own citizens.
What is the vision of the State of Israel as we face this?
How can we get to peace and exist in this very complicated situation?
Three things:
The first is that territory is the determining factor. Territory determines the facts.
Look, for example Diyash (ISIS) has now ensconced itself on the eastern border of Jordan, on the Jordan-Iraq border. We don’t know what will be tomorrow. My opponents, even on the right, think that we have to create a Palestinian state that has borders that are basically the Green Line.
So, where do you want to meet Diyash (ISIS -and that is something that is not dependent upon us.
At the Jordan River? Or Highway 6 (in Israel)?
It doesn’t matter? Really? It really doesn’t matter?
Territory doesn’t matter, they told us.
Where are thousands of missiles being launched from?
From Gaza-when we evacuated the territory. And they explained that an age of missiles territory doesn’t matter.
How come not a single missile has been launched from Judea and Samaria on the State of Israel? Because territory is the determinant.
The second thing:
My friends, I was taught in civics, in civics class that true democrats will fight to the death for the privilege of letting a person with opposing opinions have his right to speak.
The second thing. The second thing is deterrence. Deterrence.
Imagine, you are in a very tough neighbourhood, violent, lawless. And that is the situation in the Middle East. And all the desires will not change that fact. So what do you do? You have to be strong. You have to be so strong that nobody will even think about hurting you. Syria looks at how we act in Gaza. Gaza looks to see how we act at the eastern fence. Everyone looks at everyone
What is deterrence? It’s a kind of blanket that you can’t see, that protects you and [?] defends you against your surroundings.
But deterrence is the ability to hit your enemy, along with the ability to do so when it is necessary.
(hecklers)
Now, the Jewish people and the State of Israel do not want war.
Do not want war.
And anyone here, in their chutzpah, who says I want war-tell me about it.
To my great sorrow I fought in the first Intifadah, in South Lebanon, in the second Intifadah. In Defensive Shield I got on a plane in New York to take part in re-taking Tulkarm. I took part in the second war in Lebanon. Nobody in this room will tell me will lecture me on the desire for peace.
I say to you: there isn’t a citizen in Israel who wants peace more than me. I lost friends. Open your ears. But not the fantasies that lead to war. So the second thing is deterrence.
The third thing is national, internal immunity.
Internal immunity is solidarity between different parts of society.
National immunity is caring for minorities like Arab Israelis. In the past year and a half, I have been working day and night to create tens of employment centres for Arab women, more than you-over there-you shouting at me-have done, so that thousands of Arab women, for the first time, are working and earning a living.
Internal immunity is solidarity. We saw in the past weeks a nation with internal immunity. We saw three amazing families-the Frenkel family, the Shier, the Yifrach family, they came together, not [?] as you say here, but in unity. I saw Shelley Yachimovitch visit them, I saw from each side-left to right come together in unity with a common purpose. National immunity is also understanding…
(crowd heckles)
The days when you yell incitements, and we shut up, are over.
(crowd boos)
Moderator:
Friends, I ask you to stop interrupting and let Minister Bennet speak and say what he has to say and to pay attention.
There are people here who supported speaking to Yasser Arafat. There cannot be a situation where we are not capable of listening to Minister Bennett.
Bennett:
A certain politician once said ‘the argument is weak so shout it’.
The last thing is the justice/righteousness of living in this land.
We have been in this land for 3000 years through Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’akov. Ya’akov who is the forefather of the Jewish nation who changed his name to Israel.
Through the Judges, King David, King Solomon, the Hasmoneans, through the Second Temple period and the Return to Zion, the idea that a people cannot “occupy” their own land.
I want to finish by reading a few words from a Zionist leader and I will ask you which Zionist leader said this.
[Quote here-have to find it, hard to translate.]
Who was that? Berel Katznelson? Jabotinsky? Who is it? Tabenkin? Yitzhcak Rabin-no. I will tell you.
It was Shimon the Hasmonean, who wrote it 2150 years ago (more on Maccabees here).
Chazak, chazak v’nitchazek-thank you.

Chutzpah: Obama Administration Blasts Israel For Not Creating Final Borders For Palestinians, While America's Southern Border Disappears
This is pretty rich.
Obama, who has pretty much all but disintegrated America's southern border, is condemning Israel for not creating final borders with the nihilistic, jihadist barbarians who want to destroy every last living, breathing uppity Jew.
So concerned about Palestinian dignity, Jews and Americans and Western civilization be damned.

Big Blabbermouth Mark Steyn Exposes the Vast, International Jewish Soccer Conspiracy and The Reality Gap Between American Elites and Regular People
Another great interview with Mark Steyn from John Oakley.
But I can't believe that Mark Steyn ratted us out!?!??!
WTF????
We tried, so hard to keep the Vast International Jewish Soccer Conspiracy under wraps-dammit, only a few people heard about it is and then MARK STEYN, who is not even Jewish but has a Jewish sounding name, and is a philosemite and Israel-supporter to boot-goes and blabs his big British mouth about it on the radio!?!?!?!
Memo to self: Increase security at the next meeting of the Elders of Zion in the Catskills. Change secret handshake. Keep Steyn out.
There was also a truly great quip about an Alberta premier losing her job basically over a $6000 airline ticket, but that $6000 bucks could not purchase the security required to take His Royal Highness Imperial President Obama and his gazillion, bazillion man and 40 car armed motorcar TO THE MEN'S ROOM.
(I'm dying. Still laughing. Gotta keep laughing or I will start crying...)

Steyn: The Challenges of Diversity
DEATH BY DIVERSITY!
/GAH
Otherwise known as the choiceless choice being forced upon Western society:
1) Celebrate diversity or else.
2) Celebrate diversity or die.
3) Celebrate diversity AND die.
You must pick all of these.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
Read the whole thing.
Steyn's conclusion is thus:
"The developed world has chosen civilizational suicide as a moral virtue. As Fabienne Calmes' fellow educator across the Atlantic would say, our growing diversity is a strength that we will continue to celebrate - even unto death."

What She Says: Sarah Palin-"Time to Impeach Obama"
"Without borders, there is no country."
Exactly.
"Palin speaks for a lot of vocal Republicans who want the House GOP to take action, as well as speaking for even more Republicans who secretly agree with her. Her public advocacy for impeachment may rouse other prominent Republicans to join her, although it is doubtful many of them will be current office holders."
"But if things get much worse at the border, or if other examples of presidential overreach emerge, the cumulative effect of these transgressions could result in steps being taken in the House of Representatives to remove the president."
Exactly.

The Mean Girls of Global Warming
Nicely done!
"Think of them as the “mean girls” of global warming."
"But notice that they’re not using mockery directly as a weapon against the skeptics. Remember back to high school, if you can. If you didn’t really care about being in the clique, they were pretty much irrelevant to you. It was only those who really wanted to fit in and be popular who got caught up in all of the manufactured drama. The mean girls are always meanest to each other."
" So the real target on which our mean girls of global warming train the power of their mockery is not the general public, nor is it the ideological right. Their target is the mainstream media."
"...their goal is to win the debate by bullying CNN and the BBC into dropping all coverage of anyone who dissents from the consensus. In effect, their strategy is to tell mainstream reporters that they can’t let themselves be seen talking with those really un-cool kids who don’t believe in global warming, because if they do, they won’t be allowed to eat their lunch at the cool kids’ table.
It's also about the MONEY, baby.

And this is the inspirational message on the mom's YouTube page. I just cleaned up the all caps a bit- irresistable editor's itch.. but this is amazing stuff.
Anyone in Hackensack, New Jersey-you know what to do!!
READ THE WHOLE THING:
"My name is Nikki and this is my video that I shared of my 2 year old son named Kayden. He was born with a omphalocele. (an omphalocele is a type of abdominal wall defect in which the intestines, liver and bladder and sometimes other organs remain outside of the body).
The doctors stated he would not survive and suggested I terminate my pregnancy, even the ultra sound techs agreed saying that he would either be still born or wouldn’t make it through the repair surgery. Later I found out that bands (the umbilical cord) were wrapped around his feet and they were pinned under my pelvic bone. I still continued with the pregnancy even though I was warned against it and told that my son wouldn’t walk and would have many problems.
But God said everything would be all right. I delivered early so the omphalocele wasn’t as big as predicted, his spine and hip bones were fine and mentally there were no issues. So my husband and I stepped out on faith and even though his right foot and left leg were amputated he now has prosthetics and is learning to walk. This video is really more then 1st steps...we celebrate his life as well and every step he takes will be to glorify God. We want the whole world to know his testimony!!! Thank you for all your awesome responses and my family is so happy that God used Kayden Elijah Kinckle to encourage and inspire so many people!!
We are giving him a benefit on August 23, 2014 at the the Logan Family Learning Center in Hackensack.
If anyone is interested in going or wants a wristband or teamkayden or “I got it!!” T-shirt please send a e-mail to kayekink@yahoo.com or go to his FB page Kayden Steppinoutonfaith Kinckle to see more videos and his story!! God bless you."

Coming to a Western city near you.
"The riot took place outside "Palestine House," the office of an anti-Israel organization that, until very recently, received huge sums of government money for immigrant absorption. Imagine what those immigrants were taught about pluralism. Imagine what they were taught about the Jews."
"Palestine House is also where an Arabic-language newspaper in Canada is headquartered, called Meshwar. Its editor is a board member of Palestine House. Meshwar is a pro-Hamas newspaper, calling for violence against Jews, and the Jewish state. Their latest edition contains Hamas propaganda, helpfully illustrated with a drawing of a machine gun as a bridge for Palestinians to walk over. As in, violence is the way to get what they want in the world."
"Of course the police didn't arrest them. They probably look to Palestine House to recruit "diversity officers."

Not that this will change the generally antisemitic attitudes embedded in the BBC, but it is a refreshing note of honesty.

What kind of mother stabs her child's kindergarten teacher in broad daylight?
Apparently-Moroccan "Spanish" French Mothers from No Go Zones in France.

We Are Not the Same
Correct.
"Israelis en masse will not call the individuals who committed the murder heroes, martyrs, or leaders of a resistance. The mothers of these criminals will not be interviewed on television and say how proud they are of their sons. Unlike the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli government will not pay salaries to the convicted individuals or their families, paying a higher sum the longer the sentence – thereby specifically incentivizing more monstrous acts. No Israeli municipality will name a square or a road in honor of the perpetrators. No Israeli politician will ask for them to be pardoned as part of the peace process or other process of national reconciliation or compromise."

Steyn: Bill of Sale
In this delightful essay, Steyn takes a swipe at the Clintons, the court eunuchs of America AND the ridonculous deference that freeborn American citizens must now pay the Imperial, Untouchable Leader.
Remember: THERE ARE NO OBAMA JOKES.
There cannot be!
He is perfect, untouchable. THERE IS NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT OBAMA.
OK so is it just me or does this kind of remind you, sort of, ummm, just a little tiny bit-well, just a tad...of Islam? You know the Ayatollahs don't really have a sense of humour either, and you are totally, like FOR SURE 100% on pain of death, not allowed to mock the prophet and stuff. So, the Church of Liberalism is kind of the same thing. One cannot mock the Great Prophet of Church of Liberalism and the First Black President without being raaaaaaacist, etc...
Of course, if you do mock Obama, America is not at the death penalty stage of course, but the price can be pretty steep.
Can you spell I-R-S A-U-D-I-T? Yes, I thought you could....
Remember a few weeks ago those joyless Iranians arrested the young adults singing "Happy"?
The authorities did not approve of being happy! So there!
Anyway, back to Steyn, glorious Steyn....
To wit:
"~Speaking of lèse-majesté, even when our sovereign liege lord is not present, it is improper to disrespect him. For example, Friday's Fourth of July parade in Norfolk, Nebraska included a float with a wooden outhouse marked "Obama Presidential Library". According to the gentlemen of the press, the float has "drawn criticism". I should certainly hope so. I assumed that the criticism it had drawn would be from freeborn citizens hoping for something a little less generic and anodyne in the way of Presidential mockery.
"...the court eunuchs of the media are huffin' an' a-puffin' about how this time the Obama-haters have gone too far:

Norfolk City Councilman Dick Pfeil told the Omaha World-Herald that he was unhappy with the float, and he wanted to make clear the city had not approved it."Because nothing better exemplifies the spirit of Independence Day than having your float approved by the government."
