So Much For 'Ending The Culture Of Corruption' - Part 2

In our previous post today on the culture of corruption in the now Democratically-controlled Congress, we posted on a CNN investigation into how Congress spends taxpayer money, and noted that it did so, "quickly, secretly and by the truckload. Here, CNN looks at more Congressional Democrats and earmarks, concluding: "The democrats promised reform. It's not happening." And "What does congressman Murtha have to say in defense of the "National Drug Intelligence Center" in Pennsylvania? Surprisingly, nothing at all." Says CNN: [A Murtha] Spokesman told us the requests had all been submitted. They are available for review with the committee. Then... ... more

'The Hills Of Rural Virginia Are Alive With The Sound Of Jihad'

So, why isn't anyone listening??? As we have previously written: Jamaat ul-Fuqra, or "community of the impoverished," was formed by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani in New York in 1980. Gilani, who refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr," has stated his objective is to "purify" Islam through violence. Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in New York and openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in hamaats or compounds, such as Islamberg, where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat... ... more

The Case for Bombing Iran

In his must-read article at Opinion Journal today, Norman Podhoretz presents his case for military force against Iran, and suggests that the plain and brutal truth is that if Iran is to be prevented from developing a nuclear arsenal, there is no alternative to the actual use of military force--any more than there was an alternative to force if Hitler was to be stopped in 1938. In reminding us of recent Iranian disregard for international law and its tendency to use hostages and blackmail, he notes: If, ... under present circumstances Ahmadinejad could bring about the extraordinary degree of kowtowing... ... more

An editorial today at The New York Sun addresses the turn in events in the fight against Palestinian Sunni extremist groups which involves soldiers loyal to the Lebanese state gathering "in a posse" of sorts trying to apprehend bank robbers who have fled into the relative safety of a refugee camp, and how terrorist groups have slipped into the historically familiar pattern of "alternating ideological and theological violence with banditry." The article offers an important perspective that has been for the most lost in the news reports on the violence in Lebanon:... the story here is the rise of extremist... ... more

Iran Has Secret Plan For Summer Offensive Against U.S. Forces In Iraq

Has the United States government completely lost all sense of reality or is there some secret U.S. plan in the works to strike Iran and turn it into a sandlot? Why else would the president have U.S. forces sit back and allow Iran to committing daily acts of war against US and British forces, and do absolutely nothing about it? And if what the Guardian reports is true, that Iran is secretly forging ties with al-Qaida elements and Sunni Arab militias in Iraq in preparation for a summer showdown with coalition forces intended to tip a wavering US Congress into... ... more

Al-Qaeda cells in Catalonia

The announcement by Rodrigo Gavilán, the representant of the most active policemen union, CEP, of the existence of Al-Qaeda cells in Catalonia, is not suprising. But now, not only Mr. Gavilán has spoken about it, but also some responsibles of foreign secret services who are really worried about this phenomenon. According to them, there are two methods of recruiting. The first one happens in areas of Muslim immigration, where individuals pertaining to radical cells approach teenagers and young people with strong problems of marginalization and uprooting.

Arab Website Reports 2 Soldiers Found Beheaded (Updated)

Let me make it absolutely clear that I do NOT believe this to be credible, and am even reluctant to put it up. Nothing has been seen on any other news source, and Petraeus is saying otherwise. The only real news here may be that an Arab language site is reporting the soldiers decapitated remains having been found, not that it actually happened. This site could easily be just a propaganda site, although the agency appears to have access to local information that I have verified in better known media sources. However, HAQ News Agency, an Arab language site (with... ... more

Islamic Illiberalism And Intolerance Nothing New

On September 25, 1924 Gandhi wrote: I have no shadow of doubt that Islam has sufficient in itself to become purged of illiberalism and intolerance. We are still waiting and hoping for the day Muslims will no longer claim that Islam is under attack.And the only damned thing that has changed since then is the date and the particulars of yet even more Islamic illiberalism and intolerance.... ... more

Undefined French 'Immigrants' From Undefined 'Suburbs' Riot After Sarkozy Win

Yes, (fill in the blanks), those _________ immigrants from ___________ neighborhoods in ________ suburbs are rioting again, as they did last summer (also here, here, here, here, and here), because the candidate they wanted to win - Segolene Royal, didn't. But surely you wouldn't be able to fill in the blanks from what you learn from the media who have a very difficult time using the "M" word. God forbid that the "immigrants" should in any way be connected to the religion of peace that drives their refusal to assimilate into French society, and places the ummah before the country... ... more

TV: Sarkozy Elected French President

According to television projections (via Reuters), conservative Nicolas Sarkozy won France's presidential election, beating his Socialist rival, Segolene Royal, by a comfortable margin. Royal, had borrowed from the playbook of her Islamofascist supporters and warned that if she didn't win there would be violence and brutality unleashed in the country; apparently it didn't work:Forecasts by four pollsters showed Sarkozy, 52, a hardline former interior minister, won around 53 percent of the vote in the second-round ballot and will succeed fellow conservative Jacques Chirac, who was president for 12 years. Turnout was predicted at about 85 percent.Royal has already conceded defeat.... ... more

Al Qaeda's Al-Zawahiri Wants More U.S. Dead in Iraq

Barely able to contain himself over the non-stop deluge of free propaganda handed him by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and their fellow Defeaticrats, al-Qaeda's number 2 Thug-in-Chief has issued a new video statement mocking the Dems bill and saying he wants to spill more U.S. blood before America withdraws:[...] Ayman al Zawahiri, mocks the bill passed by Congress setting a timetable for the pullout of U.S. troops in Iraq. "This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap," Zawahiri says in answer to a question posed to... ... more

Fox Watching Henhouse 101: Newspaper Ties Iraqi PM To Revolutionary Guards

In a stunning but not surprising development, a new report claims to reveal documents confirming Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki held telephone conversations with anti-coalition leader Muqtada al-Sadr, leader of the "Madhi's Army," and then ordered Iranian commanders to areas where they would not be "arrested or killed" by American troops. The "Mahdi Army" is the group of terrorists and fighters assembled by al-Sadr, who has preached Islam's "Madhi" soon is to return, and American forces invaded Iraq in order to capture and kill him. Al-Sadr has refused to disband the estimated 5,000-8,000 in his group because he claims it... ... more

Sarcozy Increases Lead In French Polls As Royal Runs To Islamofascist Playbook

In what LGF refers to as an "Islamist-Leftist convergence," Socialist Ségolène Royal is borrowing from the playbook of her Islamofascist supporters, and warning that if she doesn't win, there will be violence and brutality unleashed in the country," suggesting that unrest was especially likely in the "volatile suburbs" (MSM-speak for the Muslim communities) that were the site of rioting in 2005: PARIS: The French presidential campaign officially closed Friday with the Gaullist front-runner, Nicolas Sarkozy, looking ever more assured of winning Sunday and his Socialist rival, Ségolène Royal, predicting street violence if he is elected.

Masters Of The Universe

Pat Santy points to Victor Davis Hanson's "beautiful post on the crazy Middle East" that summarizes all the hysteria and hype that we have endured over the last four years in what amounts to a synopsis of the ongoing insanity about the war against Islamofascism: Polls show about 20% of Americans favor the Palestinians in their war against Israel, while about half the US population now expresses an unease with Muslims in general. Meanwhile a large minority of Muslims, according to polls, condones terrorist attacks on civilians, while a vast majority is vehemently anti-American. Their prejudice apparently is chalked up... ... more

Tell Nancy Pelosi & Congress: America Won't Surrender!

When it came to defeating the Soviets, Ronald Reagan made it simple: "We win, they lose." Now more than ever, the defeatists in Congress must hear that same message. America will never surrender (hat tip - Gateway Pundit).To: Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House Harry Reid, U.S. Senate Democrat Leader Congress has passed and President Bush has vetoed H.R. 1591, the Iraq Surrender Act of 2007. This legislation, which you worked to pass, sets a timetable for surrender. It pulls the rug out from under our troops. That is shameful and wrong. Your actions have already emboldened the enemy.

Bush Administration EEOC Sues Salvation Army

... Over the Salvation Army's "English-only" policy:The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has over the years been broadly hostile to employer policies requiring that employees speak English on the job, viewing such policies as improperly tending to screen out workers of protected national origin. Federal courts haven't always agreed with the agency's views on the question, however; in a 2003 case the Salvation Army, the venerable religious institution, was upheld in its right to fire a worker who'd refused to speak English when asked to do so by her boss. Now the EEOC has taken the Salvation Army back to... ... more

al-Qaeda Senior Member Of Information Killed By U.S. Military

Chalk up one less kidnapper/murderer/Islamothug on the planet, as the U.S. military reports that the first day of May was the last day of life for Muharib Abdul Latif al-Jubouri (confirmed by DNA tests), the "senior minister of information" for al Qaeda in Iraq, and a key figure in the separate abductions of journalist Jill Carroll, Tom Fox, one of four men from the Chicago-based peace group Christian Peacemaker Teams who was found fatally shot in Baghdad in March of last year, and other foreigners.

The Freeway Meltdown - Just In Case You Missed It

Readers will recall that a tanker exploded on a freeway overpass in the Oakland/Emeryville area in CA on Sunday, April 29th around 4am. The deck collapsed and burned. It was a connecting ramp between I-80 and I-580. This is what 8,600 gallons (which weighs 80,000 pounds) of unleaded gasoline does when it burns. Reports state that the fireball started on the lower deck, and the rising heat of the 3000+ degree fire melted parts of the deck above, causing it to collapse.Although I've previously watched the video of John Gibson destroying "Leftist Loon" Rosie O'Donnell's 9/11 Conspiracy theory about fire... ... more

Telemundo And Univision Pseudo-Journalists / Illegal Immigration Activists Finally Get Put In Their Place!

The video speaks for itself. Yesterday, when the Los Angeles Police department was forced to come in with their Riot Police to disperse a crowd of illegal alien protesters that were throwing rocks and bottles and were turning rowdy, the TV crews of Telemundo and Univision defied the police order and stayed behind, no doubt trying to exploit the explosive situation to film footage they could later use to accuse the police of brutality against the demonstrators, and to advance their illegal immigration cause. In doing so they partly achieved what they set out to do, as they had to... ... more

The Next Step (for 'Egyptian Sandmonkey')

Egyptian Sandmonkey's post at Hyscience has been reposted below in its entirety. It has came to my attention that the reasons of my quitting were not clear for some people, which is probably due to the fact that I didn't exactly elaborate on why I did what I did or what it means. This is an effort to remedy that. This is not me coming back to blogging though: this wasn't me crying wolf or a publicity stunt, so fans and haters, don't raise your hopes up or don't get disappointed, respectively. This is a clarification, more than anything. 1)... ... more

Again, More Pro-Illegal Immigration Protests And Marches In Our Streets

Illegal immigration protests and demonstrations are flooding our streets again, on this May 1st celebration. Of communist origin and on the anniversary of the infamous Mexican flag wielding, Ché Guevara sign bearing, insolent "in-our-face," illegal immigration rallies of last year, where millions of arrogant "illegal" aliens flooded our streets "demanding" citizenship with impunity, even as immigration authorities watched-on. On Saturday, a cameraman for the NBC affiliate in Houston, KPRC -TV, flew a Mexican flag from his camera as he covered one of such marches in support of illegal immigration in Houston. Many Americans have been outraged by video clips posted... ... more

NBC Cameraman Flies Mexican Flag At March For Illegal Alien Rights

A cameraman for the NBC affiliate in Houston was captured Saturday on home video sporting a Mexican flag on his camera while covering a rally in the Texas city that supported illegal immigrants, drawing angry shouts from counter-protesters. In the first of two clips a counter-protester with a bull horn can be heard condemning the cameraman's flag, and asks, "Why does Channel 2 News have a Mexican flag on their camera?" :Perhaps the most appalling event of the afternoon was seeing Houston's NBC channel 2 affiliate sporting a Mexican flag on their video camera. Doesn't the news media state that... ... more

Unconfirmed report: Red On Red Action Takes Down Leader Of al-Qaeda In Iraq

If this report turns out to be true, another murderous thug is now looking around down in hell for his non-existent 72 virgins, and more importantly, the manner in which the Islamist leader has been killed is a very promising sign - "red on red" fighting: Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader 'killed': The interior ministry in Iraq says it has received intelligence that the head of al-Qaeda in Iraq has been killed. Abu Ayyub al-Masri, believed to be an Egyptian, has led the group since June 2006 when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike. Al-Qaeda in Iraq... ... more
