Jerusalem Recognized

After 70 years, it is finally time to state the obvious. The nay-sayers can show no improvement in the peace process with the former policies that only bowed to fear of threats of violence, bolstering that threat mentality. Enemies of Israel of course see it as another indication of the permanence and recognition of Israel, which they vehemently and violently oppose. Trump's speech offered an olive branch to a Palestinian state, whose capital he would likewise recognize. But they've been offered a two-state solution a number of times, and would rather continue to wage hate and war for a single-state solution (Palestinian only -- no Israel).
And the rest of the world is apparently cowed or propagandized into going along with them -- e.g., the BDS movement. The most democratic, tolerant, multi-cultural, multi-faith, fair, & open society in the region is stigmatized for defending itself against enemies all around who vow it's utter destruction, and have attempted it multiple times. The only way to pacify their enemies is to surrender their lives and land -- which no other people on earth would be expected or willing to do. They have every bit as much right to that land historically and otherwise as the Palestinians. And they are willing to share it -- unlike the Palestinians.
Israel is the only country in the world supposedly not allowed to designate its own capital, and have it recognized. Even Pakistan & Bangladesh and their capitals were recognized following much greater bloodshed and refugee problems in partitioning and establishing their new states out of India that had absolutely no historical basis. How else does one explain it other than antisemitism?
And the hatred of Israel is only matched by the hatred of the U.S., in countries like Iran who chant death to America, North Korea, radical Islamists under all banners, Leftists throughout the world who abhor all its values, are jealous of its prominence and riches, etc. As if secular Leftism (or radical Islamism) has left anything in its wake but mass death and misery where fully implemented.

A 2-peat after the 2010 midterms. The GOP picked up at least 8 Senate seats for a solid majority, and possibly more with the Louisiana runoff. Time to celebrate the end of Reid's 6-year Senate reign, and the end of Congressional gridlock! Also, the GOP picked up 6 governorships (more presidential options), for a solid 2/3 of states -- including some fairly blue states -- good riddance to Crist in Florida.  And the House of Representatives party map turned overwhelmingly red (see below).  The victories would have been even greater if not for the sapping of GOP votes by the Libertarian candidates (or “Losertarian” as

Epiphanies, Socialists in Democrats' Clothing & the Welfare State

Another Epiphany! Giving credit where credit is due, apparently Pres. Obama has had yet another epiphany similar to those in his (ig)Nobel prize speech (that there IS evil in the world that can NOT be negotiated with but must be fought). The other day he actually used the words “war on terror” for the first time, instead of “overseas contingency operations,” or “man-caused disasters.” The Left must be fuming. It is not yet clear whether this is a real conversion from the liberal-left virtual world to reality, or just Augustinian political expediency. If the latter, our outcries may be getting through – liberals just have to feel loved, and apparently he wasn’t feeling the love being returned from the rest of the world (his "foreign affairs") after his apology tours, so he’s starting to make another try at patching things up back home. Socialists in Democrats' Clothing There were hints in the campaign, like the little slip to Joe the Plumber about “spreading the wealth.

Done Deal? Religious Liberty, Hillary & Trump

In this post: The Iran Nuclear Agreement Broader Ramifications Same-sex Marriage Decision & Religious Liberty   The 2016 Campaigns The Iran Nuclear Agreement Obama and his lackeys have proven once again what miserable negotiators they are.  They have given away the farm and gotten hardly anything in return.  They may or may not have stalled the Iranian march to nuclear weapons for a few years – inspection rules require 24 day notice for specific sites (plenty of time for shell games like Saddam played in Iraq), and are subject to a committee which Iran sits on.  And we don’t even know all the places they may be hiding stuff.  Apparently the deal not only lifts the embargo sanctions, including conventional weapons, but gives Iran tens of billions of dollars to bolster their economy, and much greater ability to foster terrorism throughout the world, and regional instability, much more than their current level as the prime state sponsor of terror
