Very Sweet-Islamic Court Permits Pregnant Woman to Give Birth Before Being Hanged
Ahh, the benevolence of sharia.
So, where is the Twitter campaign from those outraged celebrities and the White House?
If she were a pregnant lesbian, perhaps there would be some concern.
But a black, Christian African? ZZZZZZ.

#BringBackOurFathers
Well said.
Related-am I the only one who has noticed that whenever there is a story about an alleged 'transgendered' child, it is always the mother blathering about the issue, and there is never a father present?
Has anyone seen a story like this where the father is the one talking about the inevitability and necessity of sexually mutilating a child with obvious mental health issues?

Friday Funnies: Jewish Mother Admits-"My Son-He's Ruined My Life"
Thanks to Judith for the tip.
This is pretty funny. While I am a Jewish mother, I am not this type of Jewish mother but I certainly do recognize the characteristics. They are familiar to me....

American Priorities: A View From Steyn and Tammy Bruce
Mark Steyn was speaking with Hugh Hewitt yesterday about the (current) VA hospital scandal.
Apparently, President nobody-is-madder-about-this-than-me Obama is really upset about this.
I mean, like REALLY upset.
He was really mad about it when he found out about it from the newspaper reports, just like you!
He hadn't heard of any problem before then, but believe me he is so, so, for sure, totally mad about it now.
Those meanwiches at the VA hospitals! Those stinkburgers!
Seriously, #NobodyIsMadderThanHim
Do read the whole thing, or listen to the audio. This is a very salient point:
"...it is disturbing to me that America's veterans are regarded by the system as charity cases. The yellow-ribbon thing seems to feed into that, as if veterans are people you should feel sorry for, like starving Third World orphans. There's something psychologically unhealthy about thinking of your warrior class like this."
Systems are evil.
Evil is psychologically unhealthy.
Across America (California I believe), Tammy Bruce had an excellent column in the Washington Times where she notes that some veterans are getting first class treatment out of the beleaguered VA system.
She notes:
"If there’s anyone who deserves free health care, it’s our veterans, who risk their lives in theaters of war. In our volunteer military, they are the heroes who freely agree to give everything, perhaps even their lives, to protect our nation, our future and liberty around the world."
"Yet, when they return home and need us, our government employees throw them into a machine that not only doesn’t give a darn, but uses them as a pawns in a vile effort to get cash for themselves.
It’s monstrous, and not surprising. We’ve now seen this heinous disregard for the individual at every level of the federal government."
"We shouldn’t be surprised that the almost sociopathic attitude on display everyday by the Obama administration is infecting the federal system as a whole."
"Strangely, if we turn from veterans to traitors, however, we learn just how much the bureaucracy can make happen in the name of health care."
"Politico reports the Pentagon has approved convicted traitor Bradley Manning for transfer from prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to a civilian prison so he can receive “gender treatment.”
So there's that.

The Insanity of America the Litigious
Look-this is just NOT NORMAL.
I don't know what the details are of this case, but it is not normal to get a restraining order against your daughter's 5 year old kindergarten classmate.
What the heck constitutes "bullying" anyway?
I guarantee you if the "bullied" kid just whacked the kid upside the head, or punched the "bully" the story would be over. Yes, even five year old kids can handle themselves.
"A police report says the girl was kicked in the face and had sand and rocks thrown at her."
A POLICE REPORT????
A POLICE REPORT????!!!!!!!?!?!??!?!
The police are already involved in a kindergarten spat?
This is really NUTS.
What kind of an idiot judge would grant such a request? I would say it was pathetic if it didn't belie the overly litigious psychosis of American "justice".
What kind of overzealous, crazy-ass 'law enforcement' agency has the supreme, exquisite, DECADENT privilege of investigating kindergartners?
America, my beloved-how shall I put this?
I love you but your police, and your obsession with courts and their life-draining, savings draining, process-is-the-punishment hell is out of control.
I'd say the parent sounds a few French Fries short of a Happy Meal.
I'd keep an eye on the kids and a close eye on the parent as well.

Culture of Victimhood in America: Village People Edition
So, I actually would have thought that the complaint would be that dressing up as the Village People is too gay.
But apparently, what's offensive about dressing up like a Village Person is that it makes fun of North American Indians or something and is therefore racist.
I really think that the Village People (are any of them still alive?) would be horrified that anyone thought their costumes were racist. They were merely supposed to be sexually enticing to other men.
Now, in the pecking order of victimhood, Muslim generally trumps everything except for raaaaacism. Gay comes a close second and then I guess Native American is somewhere down the list.
It's so hard to keep the prioritiesstraight gay bi two-spirited, queer, questioning, trans, in transition.

Israeli Security Officials Can't Seem to Get Timely Visas to America Under the Obama Administration
Must be a freaky deaky coincidences, that's all.
Remember the Obama mantra, reward American enemies and punish American allies and friends.

Isn't Anyone in America Offended By Barack Obama's Comments About 9/11?
The 9/11 memorial museum opened today.
The President's remarks are so offensive and wrong-headed, it's hard to believe a sitting American President said them.
"It's an honour to join in your memories, to recall and to reflect, but above all to reaffirm the true spirit of 9/11 — love, compassion, sacrifice — and to enshrine it forever in the heart of our nation," he told an audience of victims' relatives, survivors, and rescuers at the ground zero museum's dedication ceremony."
The true spirit of 9/11 was the jihad that brought the towers down and killed more Americans on American soil in a terrorist attack than any other before it.
The true lesson of 9/11 should be eternal vigilance and a commitment to America's security-a far cry from the appeasement policies of President Obama.
He calls Ground Zero "a sacred place of healing and of hope".
It is sacred ground, but no place of healing. Nothing heals those wounds. That is a pitiful, trite platitude.
It is not a place of "hope". How wrong. How patronizing.
Just a disgrace.

Great News: Iraq Debates a Law That Would Allow Men to "Marry" 9 Year Old Girls
And what could possibly be wrong with that?
Really glad Western blood and treasure was lost defending THAT "right".
"Ahlam al-Obeidi hosts a radio show about women's rights in Baghdad. She says years of war left Iraq with more women than men, and lots of poverty. Some people marry off young girls for the dowry."
"We are a society plagued by patriarchal attitudes and outdated tribal laws, which are all conducive to violence against women," she says.
(I wonder what laws she is referring to? NPR neglects to mention the "S" word...)
"Obeidi says the proposed law causes her intense pain, especially when she thinks of her granddaughters, the eldest of whom is 9 years old."
"This is not marriage," she says, "but rather the selling and buying of young women."
Sounds all Boko Haram-y to me, but what do I know?

Excellent: Kirsten Powers-Who Will The Thought Police Come For Next?
Good question.
Answer: the left doesn't care.
"As the mob gleefully destroys people's lives, its members haven't stopped to ask themselves a basic question: What happens when they come for me? If history is any guide, that's how these things usually end."

Very Very Cool: A Resort In Galilee Rises Where Jesus May Have Taught
What a fabulous story, and an incredible opportunity for Israeli tourism and for Christian pilgrimage.
WINNING!
Via BCF:
Read the whole thing. Just amazing stuff.
A long time ago, when I did freelance writing in Israel, I was the first writer to do a story on the "Jesus Boats" up by Kibbutz Ginosaur in the Galilee. It was a short story that was distributed through a relatively primitive 'wire' service from Israel. It went "viral" before there was "viral". The Spanish translations especially were a huge hit.
That was in the days of PAPER and PHOTOGRAPHS as well if you can imagine. I think I still have a hard copy somewhere, which I should scan and upload sometime just for fun.

'Never Again' Means Nothing
A very astute piece from Daniel Greenfield.
The phrase 'Never Again' is meaningless.
The only thing it means, if you think about it, is never again to the Jews ONLY because we have Israel, the IDF and nukes.
This piece is worth a read, it synthesizes a lot of the feelings that us hatey hatey conservatives have about Holocaust "memorials" and pathetic excuses for remembrance.
Basically, the left and the moderately Jew-hating rest of the world have a fetish for dead Jews. They hate the live ones.
So, by occasionally shedding some crocodile tears about the dead ones of the past, they get a free pass to contribute their money, brains, economic, political and philosophical support to the enemies of live Jews whether in Israel or the Diaspora.
And liberals who just were born Jewish, but their religion is liberalism and utopianism, are a big part of the problem. As Greenfield puts it:
"The leaders of liberal American Jewry have not changed. They continue handing out awards to their friends and providing cover for anti-Semitic liberal politicians. They clink their glasses and toast each other while their brothers burn. And they do it while exploiting the Holocaust."
