It’s tough to know which is more laughable:  #1)The United Nations expressed shock that Iranian missiles used by Hamas were openly stored in a U.N. Gaza school;  or, #2) The United Nations expressed regret the Hamas missiles subsequently went missing; or, #3) The United Nations expressed outrage the Hamas missiles were given back to Hamas for use against Israel.

NEW YORK – The UN secretary-general on Wednesday said he was “alarmed” to hear that rockets were placed in a UN-run school in Gaza and now “have gone missing,” and he demanded a full review of such incidents.
A statement by the spokesman for Ban Ki-moon expressed the UN chief’s “outrage and regret” at the placement of weapons at a site run by the global organization. The UN says that has happened at least twice so far in the current fighting.
“Those responsible are turning schools into potential military targets, and endangering the lives of innocent children,” UN staff and anyone seeking shelter, the statement said. (more…)

I have run into several comments/posts/videos this past week that reminded me of this opinion piece that I originally posted in July of 2012. It still applies. Envy is used politically by the left to create an atmosphere of resentment and hate. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we do not fall into the trap.

“The rich should pay their fair share.” 
…”when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.”
“Nobody’s ideas or effort are really that much more innately valuable than that of their peers. You can, however, use your abilities to steal that much money.”
”The central lie here being getting rich through hard, honest work. I don’t think anyone has ever gotten rich without the determination of screwing other people out of their money.”
“Romney never created any jobs. He only created wealth for his partners. There is a big difference.”

Oy!  The big “Snoop Dogg-in-Chief” had a surprise waiting for him when he hit the money-rich environs of Silicon Valley last night.    Maybe those hipster cyberpunks –  (you know, the ones who can crack any code except the dress code) – finally had some kind of epiphany and realized just how spectacularly incompetent Obama really is?

Behold…I give you the “i Snoop” campaign.  And SABO has a message for the street artists responsible…

When the state wages war against its people … It is time for the people to replace the state.

“We need to raise our voices, make ourselves citizens, sign up to vote and punish those who speak ill and criminalize children who come to our border”
~ Congressman Luis Gutierrez (in Spanish to rousing cheers)

Taken in the abstract the illegal alien influx appears singular.   However, if you allow yourself to elevate above the current crisis you find a parallel issue which aligns with the Obama goals for illegal alien absorption.  You just have to get high enough and look beyond the current crisis horizon to see where they connect.

We have already outlined how HHS UAC (Unaccompanied Alien Minor) Grants are essentially a ruse similar to ACORN.   There might be a few “unaccompanied” minors, (although we have yet to actually see or read of one) but there are many more entire families, or more commonly “mothers with children“.

$622 million has been assigned to the UAC “crisis”, and granted (spent) via HHS funding, since 2012 when President Obama authorized the Deferred Action Program known as DACA.
On June 15, 2012, President Obama signed an executive order calling for deferred action for certain undocumented young people who came to the U.S. as children and have pursued education or military service here.  The program which is called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) actually began on August 15, 2012.
Almost immediately the UAC border crisis exploded:

Simultaneously the number of deportations decreased: (more…)

Dan Joseph – As a reporter who covers a lot of protests, I’ve come to realize the participants have distinct personality traits depending on what they are rallying against.
But, without a doubt, in my experience, those who rally against Israel are almost always the angriest.

I caught up with a sizable contingent of these protesters—led by the professional rabble rousers of Code Pink—who were making noise and shouting anti-Israel slogans outside the annual gathering of the group, Christians United for Israel. As always, passions and tempers ran high.  (read more)

On March 20th 2012 ABC News, Matt Gutman and Benjamin Crump introduced America to a very specific person.   They called her “Dee Dee”.

Dee Dee was said to be a 16-year-old girlfriend, “puppy love girlfriend”, “minor child”, of a notorious headline story surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Dee Dee a distraught “girlfriend” who was “on the phone” with Trayvon during his encounter with George Zimmerman.  A girlfriend since “kindergarten” who was so emotionally distraught at the shooting she had to be hospitalized during the weekend of the funeral and unable to attend services.
Only there was a slight problem.
There was no “Dee Dee”.  She was a complete fabrication – she did not exist.  She, as she was described to exist, was a lie.
Everything said about her was totally constructed to sell a narrative and advance a false proposition.   The character was constructed by Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump, and journalist Matt Gutman (ABC) sold her story to the world.
Everyone believed it, everyone.
The truth was only discovered, but brutally ignored a year and a half later, during the trial.
Dee Dee was actually Rachel Jeantel.   She wasn’t 16, she was 18.  She wasn’t a minor, nor was she a “girlfriend since kindergarten”.  Trayvon met Rachel on Feb 5th 2012, at her birthday party, and had only known her for 3 weeks.   Rachel was never at a hospital, and did not attend the funeral -not because she was sick- but because she barely knew Trayvon.
The Persona of “Dee Dee”, was a total fraud known not only to the Martin Family -who continued the fraud- but also known to the State Prosecutors who were fixated on taking a transparently innocent man to trial.   The attorney’s, the prosecutors, and the State of Florida knew it was all a lie.   ABC News also knew it was a lie, but they said nothing.
Eventually the motive for her construction became obvious.   The character of “DeeDee” became the entire premise behind which George Zimmerman was arrested less than three weeks later.   This, despite the fact that local law enforcement was not allowed to speak to, see, interview or even know the identity of this “ear witness” girlfriend.  Her construct was then used by various media and grievance advocates to support their contentions.
Again, just to emphasize, Dee Dee was a fictional character.  She did not exist.   At all.
Yet somehow, because of the media reporting, millions upon millions of interested people bought the entire story and framed their opinions around the portrayal. (more…)

WASHINGTON — Democrats were thrilled when John Walsh of Montana was appointed to the United States Senate in February. A decorated veteran of the Iraq war and former adjutant general of his state’s National Guard, Mr. Walsh offered the Democratic Party something it frequently lacks: a seasoned military man.

On the campaign trail this year, Mr. Walsh, 53, has made his military service a main selling point. Still wearing his hair close-cropped, he notes he was targeted for killing by Iraqi militants and says his time in uniform informs his views on a range of issues.

But one of the highest-profile credentials of Mr. Walsh’s 33-year military career appears to have been improperly attained. An examination of the final paper required for Mr. Walsh’s master’s degree from the United States Army War College indicates the senator appropriated at least a quarter of his thesis on American Middle East policy from other authors’ works, with no attribution.  (read more)
