Book Recommendation: In the Garden of Beasts
This is one of those books that just gets better and better,
until at the end I found myself gleaning the chapter notes for comments and
anecdotes not included in the text. This is the story of William E. Dodd, a
naive Chicago historian who became FDR's
ambassador to Germany USSR America Germany
Top Obama campaign donor accused of fraud
Excerpt: A major donor to President Barack Obama has been
accused of defrauding a businessman and impersonating a bank official, creating
new headaches for Obama's re-election campaign as it deals with the
questionable history of another top supporter. The New York
NBC to do ‘internal
investigation’ on Zimmerman segment
They could care less about any violence they incite as long
as they fit the facts to the narrative that plays to their viewer base. The
media gets more despicable every year. ~Bob. Excerpt: The difference between
what “Today” put on its air and the actual tape? Complete: In the “Today”
version, Zimmerman volunteered that this person “looks black,” a sequence of
events that would more readily paint Zimmerman as a racial profiler. In
reality’s version, Zimmerman simply answered a question about the race of the
person whom he was reporting to the police. Nothing prejudicial at all in
responding to such an inquiry.
DNC, MSM Smear Mitt
with Deceptive Edit
Excerpt: The problem with the video the DNC has released
(and which has been picked up by their reliable minions including Ezra Klein at
the Washington Post, Huffington Post, and Talking Points Memo) is that the
excerpt from a Jan 5, 2008 New Hampshire debate is selectively edited and does
not include an exculpatory moment one minute later where Gov. Romney clearly
and unequivocally states he would NOT be in favor of an individual mandate at
the federal level. (You expect politicians on either side to try to play you.
But the media not tries to play you to support their agenda, rather than
educate you. Don't take anything they say at face value. ~Bob.)
Worth Reading
I suspect this excellent essay may become a perennial. --Ron
P. Excerpt: Abundant, cheap electricity has been the greatest source of human
liberation in the 20th century. Every material social advance in the 20th
century depended on the proliferation of inexpensive and reliable electricity. Giving
women the freedom to work outside the home depended on the availability of
electrical appliances that free up time from domestic chores. Getting children
out of menial labour and into schools depended on the same thing, as well as
the ability to provide safe indoor lighting for reading.
Sign at Wegmans draws
attention
Assume gays and folks with service dogs should avoid that
line as well, as both are haraam. To avoid giving offense, I'd just not shop
there. ~Bob.) Excerpt: It’s a first for Wegmans in this area. They’ve put up a
sign asking customers buying pork or alcohol not to use a particular checkout
line when a Muslim teenager is on duty as the cashier. The sign went up a week
ago at their Lyell Avenue
Michelle Obama makes
fundraising stop in SF
Excerpt: "Believe me, Barack Obama knows what it means
when a family struggles," she said. (#Moochelle
fresh off 17th vacay to $500/a-ticket donors @ 43rd fundraiser “Barack knows
when families struggle.” Tweet from @Hardline_Stance Unbelievable in America today, but there are struggling families
who cannot afford to send their 13-yeay-olds to Mexico
Excerpt: An Egyptian man and other members of his family
tied his daughter up and dumped her in the Nile
after she was divorced from her elderly husband. (We can only hope and pray
that the misguided girl doesn't become Islamophobic. ~Bob.)

Progressives Simply Do Not Like The United States
Excerpt: Backers of the multi-cultural agenda seek to remove
the melting pot that made this country great from the heat that fueled it.
Instead, they want to create a coagulated mess that they can mold how they see
fit. They don’t want us thinking of ourselves as Americans. All kinds of
craziness, such as patriotism and true community spirit, could break out.
Spike Lee's Vigilante Trayvon Tweet by Doug Giles
Excerpt:
What if Spike got the right Zimmerman and his cabal charged in and beat and/or
killed a man who had yet to be given due process under the law? Hmmm? Question:
Would Lee be legally liable if one of his vigilantes said they got their 411
and motivation for mayhem from his tweet?

a Saudi Arabian national who the administration claimed in congressional
testimony entered the United

At FBI, 876 pages of
agent training material related to Muslims found offensive or inaccurate
Excerpt: An FBI review of agent training material critical
of Islam uncovered 876 offensive or inaccurate pages that had been used in 392
presentations, including a PowerPoint slide that said the bureau can sometimes
bend or suspend the law. The bureau has not released the material, but

Supreme court
sentences non-Italian father for child abuse: Judge refuses defense's
ethnic-religious argument
Excerpt: Defense lawyers maintained that the father, who
allegedly beat his daughter with a broom handle for "corrective"
purposes after she could not properly recite the Koran, did so because of
"cultural" reasons and should be given a lighter sentence
accordingly.
In Toulouse
Guess they didn't get the "Islam is a Religion of
Peace" memo. ~Bob. Excerpt: In the neighborhood where Mohamed Merah grew
up, and was last seen joking with friends days after he had killed three French
soldiers in a pair of shootings, the message to outsiders is clear: he was one
of our own, no matter what he did.

explosions hit Yala in southern Thailand

Extreme cures for
extreme sea level projections by Cliff Ollier
Excerpt: The CSIRO projection is in fact extreme. Before
explaining why, I should like to note that the world’s main source of alarmism
is the IPCC. This is not really a scientific body, but one that adjusts data
and subjects it to mathematical modelling before passing its ‘projections’ on
to politicians. (From down under. Facts? Concerned politicians don’t need no
stinkin’ facts. Fact: water is not compressible. That’s why hydraulic brakes,
lifts, and other things work. So, “sea level” anywhere is pretty much “sea
level” EVERYWHERE in the world, even if the viewer isn’t near the sea (this
doesn't mean your local water table can't be above sea level). Check the 11th
and 12th paragraphs for what sea level is doing in the country most concerned
about it—since a large percentage of the country is below it—Holland. There are
also some good links in the article for those who wish to check the research
for themselves. It was never about global warming, it was always about global
economic and political control. Ron P.)

High School Allows
'Black Power' Poster, Kills 'Respect Women' Flyers
Excerpt: I pointed out the obvious injustices done against
women by the media. Like my many other projects, this one was challenged by the
administration at my school. My posters were not allowed to be hung on the
walls yet the words, "Black Power” next to Martin Luther King’s image did
end up on the walls and wasn’t challenged. This is not only an injustice to
women but to MLK as well.
Could Secret
Miniature Drone Technologies Take Down Rogue Governments?
Excerpt: The merging of cybernetic control and
micro-electro-mechanical control systems has opened up a radical new means of
attacking human military command and control assets: Here come the 21st Century
Bug-Eyed Assassins. In the not-too-distant future, it may become acceptable to
drop clouds of miniature robotic assassins -- swarms of insect-like remote
controllable machines -- against enemy targets.
Protect the Mount of Olives !
Excerpt: Last Tuesday, several hours before he was to wed, a
young bridegroom wished to say a short prayer at his mother’s grave on Jerusalem ’s Mount of Olives .
He lost his mother last year and a visit to the cemetery constituted for him
her inclusion in his special day. He was driven up by his friend Dror Klein. As
they neared their destination, a bucket of white paint crashed into the front
windshield, obscuring Dror’s view. A hail of stones followed.

How California
Excerpt: The politicization of higher education by activist
professors and compliant university administrators deprives students of the
opportunity to acquire knowledge and refine their minds. It also erodes the
nation’s civic cohesion and its ability to preserve the institutions that
undergird democracy in America University
of California Los Angeles City
College Pearl Harbor .
The failed novelist who taught Critical Thinking was asked by a young student
one morning early in the term, “Where does all the evil in the world come
from?” Her reply was, with a satisfied grin, “White men.” In both Spanish 4 and
in Spanish Conversation, we learned that World War II was that really hard time
for Mexicans. WWII was when the trouble really started for Mexicans, who had to
take jobs that had been vacated by Americans, and this work even sometimes
involved travel for Mexicans. The Commie Geography teacher, a former
white-water rafting guide, did admit one day that, once a person has opted for
a teaching position, he or she is very unlikely to ever again be seriously
considered as a potential employee by those who work in the private sector.

49% Trust Republicans
on Economy, 38% Trust Democrats More
Excerpt: As they have for nearly three years now, voters
trust Republicans more than Democrats when it comes to handling
the economy, by far the top issue on a list of 10 regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports.
They put slightly more trust in Democrats on health care, the second most
important issue. (No wonder Democrats are so grateful for and focused on
Sandra Fluke and Trayvon Martin. Economy? Jobs? Gas Prices? Quick, look over
there! ~Bob.)
Obama's Alinsky
Strategy: Who's Next? by P.J. Salvatore
Excerpt: The death of Trayvon Martin is a tragedy--as was
the death of a 6-year-old girl named Aliyah Shell (photo above), caught in the
crossfire of gang violence over St. Patrick’s Day weekend in Chicago…. But
Aliyah's story received very little coverage, despite the event being more
recent than the Martin tragedy, and despite the fact that it happened in
President Barack Obama’s very own Chicago
Blindsided: 9/11 Was
the Rule, Not the Exception
Excerpt: The word jihad literally means “struggle,” but it’s
often used to communicate the concept of holy war. It is on the lips of violent
terrorists, but it is also shouted by Egyptian mobs who assault Coptic
Christians. And it’s the first word that Palestinian children learn from their
reading primers. (…) Jihad is at the core of Islam. It is the method through
which militant Islam tries to rule the world. It is the rule, not the
exception. (Perhaps this has more impact—at least on anyone not a committed
Progressive—when said by one who has lived it. Ron P.)
