Paying Respects To Nancy Reagan: Distinguishing Between Loss and Gain
by naga5 on March 11, 2016**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By naga5** My co-workers and I decided to go to the Reagan Library for Nancy Reagan’s viewing after work. As fate would have it, my last patient cancelled and we drove to the shuttle pick up parking area. What a remarkable cross section of America that stood in line with us. In front of us, there was a Hispanic family. They kept to themselves, keeping the two girls entertained as they patiently waited for the line to move. Behind us were some new local residents to Simi Valley who were originally from Chicago. One woman said she waited in line for five hours for President Reagan’s viewing but they had buses running every five...

Chinese Scientists Apologize… For Referencing *God* In Scientific Journal
by Shifra on March 4, 2016In a paper on the biomechanics of the human hand, there were several references implying that the hand’s versatility was the work of a supreme being. Oh, the horror! Via Breitbart: The science journal PLOS ONE is being criticized for allowing several references to creationism to make it into publication. But the scientists responsible for the offending paper say they are not creationists, and that the references are the result of their inexperience with the English language. “We are sorry for drawing the debates about creationism,” researcher Ming-Jin Liu told UPI in an email. “Our study has no relationship with creationism.” “English is not our native language,” Liu said. “Our understanding of the word Creator was not actually as a...

Epic Disgrace: WH Chanukah Party Calls For ‘Justice For Palestinians’
by Shifra on December 13, 2015Remember when the speaker at the WH Iftar dinner called for the end of Muslim persecution of Christians and Jews? Yeah, neither do I. Via FrontPageMag: Obama’s Chanukah parties have had issues in the past. But this time it teetered over into full-blown violently offensive territory. Obama’s own remarks were boilerplate inoffensive stuff. Israel’s President Rivlin, a political hack who desperately sucks up to the media, was equally insipid. But the White House chose Susan Talve to light the Menorah. Talve is a member of the anti-Israel group T’ruah which is currently promoting assorted “soft BDS” programs. She’s also a Ferguson activist. Her behavior was deeply insulting to the religious Jewish community and made it clear that the White House...

The Story Behind The Iconic Menorah Photograph
by vitadMD on December 10, 2015**Bumped up from December 2013. Posted by VitadMD** Dear, dear Shifra… Thank you for sharing this remarkable photograph – an image with a profound message and interesting story of defiance. Fortunately, the provenance of the photo is known and is deserving of proper attribution. For anyone interested… Via JSpace.com: Tracing the Roots of the Famous Holocaust Menorah In 1931, a woman snapped a photograph of her family’s menorah in a windowsill. It was the eighth night of Hanukkah and nine white candles stood along the candelabra, set off by the German courtyard seen through the glass of the window. Just in the distance, a Nazi flag hung. The image, freezing in time a notorious piece of the past, has grown...

Compare & Contrast: Obama’s and Sen. Cruz’s Chanukah Greetings To American Jews
by Shifra on December 7, 2015So, which message do you think was meaningful, heartfelt, well-informed and timely? And guess which one was full of pandering, platitudes, clichés, “social justice” blather… and no mention of God. Via Washington Post: First part: President Obama: “Tonight, Jews in America, Israel, and around the world come together to light the first candle of the Festival of Lights. At its heart, Hanukkah is about the struggle for justice in the face of overwhelming obstacles.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.): “Today Heidi and I wish the Jewish Community a very Happy Chanukah. On this holiday, we remember the miracle that enabled a freedom-loving people – led by the heroic Maccabees – to defeat the oppressive dictator Antiochus so that they could once...

Rewriting History: Arabs Claim Jewish Western Wall Is Part Of Al Aqsa Mosque
by Shifra on October 19, 2015First, we have the myth of the “Palestinians,” as the Arabs want the world to believe that the Jews ‘stole’ the land from the ‘Palestinian nation.’ Just for the record, there was never a Palestinian nation; Jews who lived in the land before the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 were called Palestinians. Now we have another myth: The Western Wall in Jerusalem, a Jewish holy site, is now…part of the Al Aqsa Mosque compound? A very brief history leading up to the recent Arab violence: There has been much talk on the news, lately, about the “Temple Mount.” This area, according to Jewish tradition, is the site of the Biblical Mt. Moriah (where Abraham proved his willingness...

Scoop Of The Century Alert: CNN Reports… Pope Is Not Jewish!
by Shifra on September 24, 2015Thanks for letting us know, CNN. Via BizPac Review: You cannot keep the truth from a crackerjack news staff like those who work at CNN. The self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” Tuesday broke the story of the century when it declared the pope is not Jewish. Following Pope Francis’ arrival for the first time on U.S. soil Tuesday, some were wondering why he had no events planned for the evening. But CNN got to the bottom of it announcing that, while the pope did not schedule any events in deference to the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the pope remains, in fact, Catholic…. CNN reporter just explained that while Pope Francis isn't making any appearances tonight out of respect...

Compare And Contrast: Bibi And POTUS Jewish New Year Greetings
by Shifra on September 13, 2015Note on Netanyahu’s greeting: “Shana Tova” means “A good year,” traditional greeting on the Jewish New Year. And note to Obama: Your opening greeting was totally mispronounced; were you talking Esperanto? We don’t really appreciate your lecture on the meaning of this, or any of the other holidays. And yes, observant Jews *will* be praying…to soon be rid of your disastrous Regime. Via Times of Israel: In an English-language message for Rosh Hashanah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu railed against the “bigoted and prejudiced” critics of Israel who level “slanderous charges against the one and only Jewish state.” The short video message, posted to the prime minister’s Facebook andYouTube accounts on Sunday just hours before the start of the Jewish new...

On The Destruction Of The Middle East’s Christians, And The World’s Silence
by Shifra on June 1, 2015When I was eight, maybe nine years old, I remember thumbing through an old family photo album. Looking at pictures of my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and baby pictures of my siblings and me, I suddenly spotted a picture I had never seen before. It was a picture of a young man and woman, and three small children. I ran to my mother. “Who are these people?” I asked. My mother looked at the picture, and then turned away. “It’s my cousin, Chaya Rivka, and her husband Yaakov (Jacob) Shlomo, and their three children.” I asked my mother where they lived now, and wondered why I had never met them. My mother was quiet for a moment. Finally, she told...

Kerry Honors Islam, Passes Over Christian and Jewish Holidays
by Shifra on April 9, 2015I don’t think any of us really need John Kerry’s comments on our respective religious observances. But the Obama Administration’s lavish praise of Islam, and its refusal to acknowledge the Islamofascist genocide of Christians, is alarming. And dangerous. Via Weekly Standard: John Kerry Recognizes Islamic Holidays, Largely Silent on Christian and Jewish Occasions Secretary of State John Kerry has often spoken to the Muslim world during his tenure, particularly during the past year as negotiations with Iran have intensified and conflict with the Islamic State has escalated. But what Kerry has not said during the past twelve months is also significant. A review of the secretary’s official remarks and statements noting special dates on Islamic, Perisan, and Arab calendars shows...
