A clever visual pun and a devastating indictment
Big Fur Hat, at iOwnTheWorld.com, nails it in a very subtle, but devastating way:

The existential despair that comes from living in Obama’s America *UPDATED*
I went to bed depressed and waking up to these Drudge Report headlines reminded me why: The whole Iran-Munich moment has left me believing that Obama is much smarter than we realized. Even as he was lying to Israel about (a) having her back and (b) not negotiating with Iran,
Continue readingI prefer clarity to agreement, and Obama’s second term is getting increasingly more clear
I trace back to Dennis Prager one of my favorite expressions: “I prefer clarity to agreement.” Too often, agreement can be like Tacitus’s definition of a Roman peace (“they make a desert and call it peace”). In the years since Obama’s election, I’ve frequently argued that, with a weak American
Continue readingHow bad is the deal with Iran?
John Bolton explains just how bad the deal with Iran is. Fred Kaplan, however, thinks it’s the best deal that ever happened, and that Republicans and Israelis should be celebrating the fact that President Barack “I’m really good at killing people” Obama finally earned his Nobel Prize. I incline to
Continue readingAnyone want to start a betting pool as to the date on which Israel bombs Iran?
So Obama did it — he gave Iran permission to go ahead with its nuclear program and gave the mullahs $4.2 billion of our tax dollars with which to do it. I foresee an Israeli strike as inevitable. Any bets as to when it will happen? Also, any side bets
Continue readingProgressives flog themselves into an anti-Bush frenzy to avoid dealing with Obama’s many and manifest failures
An online magazine called Jezebel bills itself as the “Home of Shiny Happy Ladies.” Jezebel might want to rethink that tag line if a post that Madeline Davis wrote about George Bush is anything to go by. As best as I can tell, the trigger for Davis’s fevered post is
Continue readingSame old, same old, which I enliven with predictions for the next twelve months *UPDATED*
Here’s an old joke: An established comedian invited a friend to join him at a very exclusive “comedian’s club.” The guest instantly noticed something peculiar. In the main room, a person would periodically stand up and shout out a number. “57,” one would say, and a few people in the
Continue readingYesterday’s posts about Saudi Arabia are today’s headlines
Headline today: Israel said to be working with Saudi Arabia on Iran strike plan And the post I wrote in June 2010, entitled “When the policeman goes away — or what happens when a big nation retreats.” After an opening riff about the huge upheavals in Europe when the Soviet
Continue readingOut of the mouths of . . . interpreters? UN interpreter accidentally speaks the truth
Hillel Neuer writes in the Times of Israel about an accidental moment of moral clarity at the UN: Thursday a United Nations interpreter, unaware that her microphone was on, uttered words of truth in reaction to the General Assembly’s adoption of nine politically-motivated resolutions condemning Israel, and zero resolutions on the rest
Continue readingIsrael and the world cannot rely on Obama, a serial liar
The Emergency Committee for Israel reminds the world that you cannot believe a serial liar: Shakespeare knew Obama: “Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation!”

Who is Private Eden Atias? He’s a 19-year-old who died today, the latest victim in Israel’s endless war with practitioners of the Religion of Peace. Israel is not an anomaly. She is the front line in the war between civilization and barbarism. Every time one of her citizens dies, we
Continue readingIn a day that failed to confirm to my optimistic expectations, this cheered me up
We should all be so clever when we see someone parading around demand that people Boycott, Divest, and Sanction the only liberal democracy (in the classic sense of those words) in the entire Middle East.
Continue readingIs this the bravest man in Saudi Arabia?
JoshuaPundit found a video by a social activist in Saudi Arabia, who has a strong opinion about the ridiculous Saudi rule prohibiting women from driving. If this guy and his friends are living in Saudi Arabia, they are seriously brave. I hope this video gets a lot of play and
Continue readingMadam Bookworm’s crystal ball predictions in 2009 about Saudi Arabia proved to be eerily accurate *UPDATED*
As I read the headlines lately, I have this peculiar sense of deja vu. I already pointed out that, back in 2009, a conversation I had with a liberal doctor fairly accurately predicted how Obamacare would play out (although even I didn’t foresee the exchange collapse, perhaps because no one
Continue readingA little flotsam, a little jetsam
The following three links don’t have anything to do with each other, but I wanted to bring each to your attention. First, an article by Ben Sasse about Obamacare’s horrible, inherent flaws. The article is great on its own terms. It’s also worth reading because Sasse is running for the
