OMG: Yummy, Joan Nathan Makes Sephardic, Stuffed, Old Jerusalem Veggies

I am definitely going to make these. I love stuffed veggies. Personally, I think the oven would be easier for me rather than the plate in pot, check liquid, etc...and I would nix the allspice (can't stand allspice or nutmeg-ugh), but the basic idea is awesome.  I might also use corriander on top rather than parsley. But whatever!

What can I say, Sephardic food rules. I am an Ashkenazi with Sephardic food taste...

I made Nathan's Roman Jewish tomatoes over the High Holidays and they were easy and delicious and my youngest said they were the best tomatoes he has ever eaten!

Anyway, this looks fantastic. Great video!

These People Should Have to Pay A Fine

Anyone who causes an inconvenience of this sort deserves a hefty fine.

Life is co-educational, and this kind of primitive, extremist behaviour needs to be discouraged. 

There are plenty of mitzvot that take precedent over the irrational fear of sitting next to a woman on a flight and inconveniencing hundreds of people.



American Homeland Security Kabuki: Kansas Lingerie Raid Edition

You know what kind of federal government "raids" a panty store?

A government full of p*ssies. 

Here is what the federal government is doing to men who ostensibly signed up to you know, defend their country:

"These two tall, strong undercover officers had to stand there and count the panties," she giggled.

"They didn't not seem to want to carry out their appointed task that day."

But they were just following the rules, just a routine day in the life of a DHS bureaucrat! 

"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesman Shawn Neudauer confirmed the incident to FoxNews.com, describing the raid by ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents as "routine law enforcement."

"He said the agents learned about the panties through social media."

Excellent! What could possibly be wrong with that, spending long hours, crouching over a computer, sipping coffee after coffee and searching for bad, bad, illegal, contraband women's panties?

I'm glad there are no other big issues for the DHS to deal with in America. 

Ezra Levant Interviews Mark Steyn

Grab a coffee and have a look.

Remember, it was not that long ago that many, many man-hours (YES "MAN" hours, OK, so sue me) and taxpayers' dollars were being spent punishing these two free speech heroes with the "human rights" process on a hate speech witch hunt.

Imagine if those dollars and hours had been spent, you know-on real problems, like terrorism...

The West Is Screwed: "No Connection Between Attacks" Edition

Joining the lexicon of "broad strata" and "no common denominator",  "workplace violence" and "lone wolf",  I now present you with the "no connection between attacks" theory.

Whether this is the pronouncement of the Associated Press or an actual assessment of the police, it shows how rotten and fetid the problem is.

Absolutely disgraceful.

If there is "no connection", we, as a society can have no possible hope of winning.



By the way, this is my "broad strata" photograph that I sent to LGF many years ago. 


Ted Cruz Has Got the Stuff

Mark my words. 

This is the guy who can get it done. 

“The attacks in Ottawa and Jerusalem yesterday are stark reminders that while radical Islamic terrorism may have originated in the Middle East, it is not confined to that region.  Our great and good friends in Canada and Israel were targeted because both countries share the same core principles of tolerance and freedom that we in America hold so dear—and which are hated by the vicious terrorists whose ultimate goal is to destroy us all."

"My Heart Just Broke"

This is definitely one of the most poignant editorial cartoons I have ever seen. 
 

The Supine Morons of Quebec: A Canadian Disgrace

Pro tip: 

Dealing with radicals when they are in your midst is too late

When "they" are amongst "us", there is no prevention, there can, unfortunately, only be containment.

Prevention is the only cure. 

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Public School Teachers in Canada: Most Spoiled, At Our Expense of Course .

Teaching-a "lifestyle" choice. 

"There are teachers who work hard, and others who do not work hard but are nevertheless good teachers. But if you are looking for a career that permits you to work few hours, take three months off a year, have job security despite your performance and retire at age 55 with a great pension, public school teaching is the only game in town."

"That makes it inevitable that many people enter teaching largely for the lifestyle at the expense of our youth and, ultimately, this country’s educational needs."

The Canadian Parliament Honours It's Heroic Sergeant At Arms

"My Brother Had Down Syndrome, Lived 61 Years and Loved Every Minute of It"

Lovely.

Defer to life.

"On the day of discharge the doctor gave my dad a list of facilities and addresses. When Dad asked, “What’s this?” the  doctor told him these were places that Dad could take Eddie to to live. My dad replied, “He is our son, and we will take him home and raise him!”

"And raise him they did"
 
"They taught him what they could. It took him longer than most kids to learn to crawl, to learn to walk – but he did! They taught him like any other child – good manners, how to wash his hands, his boundaries outside, and how to cut his food, which, by the way he was not too pleased about at first! And the list goes on and on. But what we never expected was what Ed would continue to teach us."

Mark Steyn: "It's Not 'Senseless' Violence

Do watch Mark Steyn comment on the terrorist attack in Ottawa yesterday, where he is states unequivocally that "senseless" is not the right word to describe a terrorist attack of this nature.

It's an attack on the heart of the state, the heart of democracy and calling it "senseless" is indeed, a big part of the problem.

Then, he got angrier as the day went on-as so many of us did.

Do watch the whole interview with Brian Lilley of Sun TV here.

"Shame on the Toronto Police for helping Islam play the victim here, because they are not the victim."

And...the "Lone Wolf" Theory Emerges-at Fox News of All Places

Shameful.

Some Days Are Full of Heartache

The situation in Ottawa is still fluid.

The situation in Jerusalem has been contained and a baby is dead, many others are injured. The dead, once again, their only crime was being living and breathing Jews in Israel especially, but througout the world-which is punishable only by death according to the death cult.

What we do know in Ottawa is a terrorist murdered a Canadian soldier in cold blood, rest his soul in peace. We know that civilians tried to help him. We know this is the second incident in about 48 hours whereby a Canadian solder was murdered by a terrorist on Canadian soil.

We know that a brave man, the Sargent at Arms shot and killed one terrorist who managed to enter the Canadian parliament building. We know that many brave men and women in uniform ran towards the danger, ran toward the live gun fire.

We know that this might be the first, but not the last attack of this kind.

We know that a family in Jerusalem has had their precious baby murdered and a family in Canada with a brave soldier son is mourning also.

These are, to paraphrase Rumsfeld, some of the known knowns.

Here's what I know.

I know that I will never stop being grateful for being alive and I will hug and protect my children with all my might. I know that I will never let the evil stop me from loving life and loving our way of life. Not ever. I know that if you stop being free, and start being afraid all the time, the evil does win. Evil can't win when you fight back however you can. By speaking your mind, by walking proud, by not being afraid, by fighting back, by raising moral and good children who are equally prepared to fight.

I know that humans are not inherently good. 

Many, and many systems of belief are inherently bad and many are evil.

And those who refuse to identify evil are evil in and of themselves and part of the problem.

So what can you do?

Don't be afraid.

Don't let them live in your head and stop you from living freely.

Those are not small victories, they are big victories and you must celebrate every moment of life and freedom and support those who actually fight with their bodies, and be thankful and grateful for the brave men and women all over the free world, and those in enemy territories who give of themselves, body and soul day in and day out for our freedom and make the ultimate sacrifice for us.

You must continue to revere life, or death and its cultural, religious and political henchmen will snuff yours out with a whimper or a bang and never look back with a second of regret or remorse. 

That is what I know.

That is what you can do. 


The Buckley Program At Yale: Ayaan Hirsi Ali Lecture

Mark Steyn Again Gives Literal Blue Print to Republicans Who May Want To You Know, Win An Election

To paraphrase the great Margaret Thatcher who told George Bush that now is not the time to go "wobbly", the great Mark Steyn, PBUH, says don't fold to the left and it's hostile takeover of culture, drag the [conservative] culture to you.

And who can do that? Yes, my current favourite American politician Ted Cruz. I've said before, I think he has the stuff.

HI REPUBLICANS AND ASSORTED CONSERVATIVES, HERE IS YOUR FREE BLUEPRINT FROM MARK STEYN.


American Federal Government Ordering 34 Million Immigration ID Cards

Nothing to see here.

Dead Canadian Soldier Victim of Cultural Outreach

Scaramouche has the goods. 

When I heard that this fellow was "known to police" I thought it was very strange. Now it appears that he was pretty much sacrificed on the alter of exquisitely deferential dhimmitude.

("Please, sir, do reconsider your extremist views! We Canadians are actual such nice people!") 

As Mark Steyn says in his new book (see the "How Unclean Is My Valley" essay) "diversity is where cultures go to die".

Apparently, it's also where they commit suicide by self-inflicted jihad, enabled by security forces as well.

Harrowing: A Young Yazidi Woman Describes Her Kidnapping by the Islamic State

Nine days can indeed, be longer than an entire lifetime. 

Read the whole thing. 

"Nine days can be longer than an entire lifetime, says Nadia, but she can remember every second of those nine days."

"Sometimes they were given nothing to eat, other times just a putrid egg for six young women. For two long days, they received no water. It was extremely hot and their captors had given them a single glass of tea. They passed around the glass -- two tiny sips for each woman. If you convert to Islam, the men said, you'll be given as much fresh water as you want."

"We remained steadfast," says Nadia."

"On another occasion, they were deprived of drinking water once again, only this time their captors put down a bucket of used bathwater. It tasted like soap and reeked of urine, but they had nothing else."

"Their captors beat them, sometimes several times in a single day, for no apparent reason. There was a man with a beard who used an electric cable, while two others preferred wooden switches."

"Sometimes they were also punched and kicked, and they were repeatedly sexually abused."

"Nadia doesn't give a literal account of these rapes. It is virtually impossible for her to talk about them, and it contravenes the conventions of her culture. She merely says: "We were taken individually to another room, to one of the men." Then she lowers her head, in silence, awash with shame."

"What else could we do?" she says after a while, now speaking very quietly."

"She says the men were merciless. Some women threw themselves at their tormentors' feet, kissed their knees and hands, and -- eyes filled with tears -- pleaded for mercy. It was no use. The men remained unmoved. It only entertained them."

Nadia is a portrait of true courage.

This line moved me tremendously:

"I will find this man one day, and I will cut off his finger, and I will take back my ring."

I Agree With Scaramouche! Free Mark Steyn!
