Eric Holder: ‘We’re Not In A Time Of War,’ Mocks Fox News
by Shifra on February 18, 2015Unbelievable. America’s top law enforcement officer does not believe we are at a time of war. Via National Review Online: Holder: ‘We’re Not in a Time of War’ With 10,000 American soldiers patrolling the mountains and deserts of Afghanistan, thousands more deployed to Iraq, and U.S. military aircraft conducting daily strikes in both those countries and Syria, Attorney General Eric Holder claimed the nation is “not in a time of war.” Holder made the comments Tuesday during a talk to journalists at the National Press Club….Asked about the Obama administration’s zealous prosecution of reporters for allegedly endangering national security by publishing sensitive material or refusing to reveal sources, the nation’s top law enforcement officer inadvertently provided insight into how the...

Deputy State Dept. Spokeshole Marie Harf: We Can’t Win This War By Killing ISIS
by Shifra on February 17, 2015Remember when FDR and Churchill said we couldn’t win the war by killing all the Nazis? Yeah, neither do I. Marie Harf’s latest babbling would be amusing, if it would not be so frighteningly idiotic.

Flashback==> Obama Brags He Ended War In Iraq, Then Dodges Responsibility
by Shifra on February 16, 2015Today is Presidents’ Day. George Washington: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Barack Hussein Obama: He lied to the American people. All the time. Via Free Beacon: Bombs Over Erbil It was an applause line during almost every campaign address made by President Obama in 2012: “I promised to end the war in Iraq, and I did.” Now, he’s backing off. President Obama ordered a full troop withdrawal from Iraq, which was completed in December 2011. But the country did not stabilize, as was predicted by Obama and key members of his administration. Instead, it has descended into greater chaos with the violent al Qaeda offshoot ISIL threatening to take over the...

Two WSJ Journalists, Two Views On ‘Torture Report’
by Shifra on December 17, 2014Cartoon from Michael Ramirez, the brilliant editorial cartoonist at Investor’s Business Daily Looks like Peggy Noonan has been hanging out with too many Beltway Libs. Because her latest column smacked of the self-righteous, holier-than-thou tone we have come to expect of “the elites.” Via WSJ: A Flawed Report’s Important Lesson Although Noonan acknowledges that …the report was issued just as a defeated Democratic majority walked out the door, and has the look of a last, lobbed stink bomb: “See what the terrible Bush administration did? Bye now!” There is about the entire enterprise a sense of sin being expiated at someone else’s expense…. Here’s what she says about the actions of the CIA: …torture is bad. It makes people lose...

John Kerry vs. Israel: Round #2999
by Shifra on October 29, 2014“Kudos” to Kerry for following through on the Obama Regime’s foreign policy: Treat your enemies with respect, and treat your friends like dirt. Just about every time Kerry opens his mouth, he infuriates the Israelis. Here are some Kerry “gems:” Last year, he went on Israeli TV’s Channel 2, and, in a threatening tone, warned of “chaos” and “another intifada” if the Israeli-“Palestinian” peace talks failed. He also warned that Israel “risked becoming an apartheid state” if peace talks failed. During the Israel-Gaza conflict last summer, Kerry was caught on a hot mic, snickering about Israel’s “pinpoint operation.” And, two weeks ago, Kerry appeared to imply that the lack of progress in the Israeli-“Palestinian” peace talks was fueling the...

Bibi and Barack’s Not-So-Excellent WH Meeting
by Shifra on October 6, 2014Last week, Israeli PM Benjamin (“Bibi”) Netanyahu met with President Barack (“The Jerk”) Obama. This time, there were no hostile acts against Netanyahu. But from reports of the meeting, it sounds as though not much has changed: They really do not like each other very much. Via BattleCreek Enquirer — Dana Milbank: Another awkward Obama-Netanyahu meeting The old frenemies sat in the Oval Office on Wednesday, their chair legs 18 inches apart, attempting some reasonable facsimile of personal chemistry…. President Obama leaned back, elegantly cross-legged. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his tie askew, planted both feet on the ground and leaned toward Obama, as if he might leap up at any moment. Obama called his counterpart “Bibi.” Netanyahu called Obama...

Good News: Scarborough Says Obama’s “No Strategy” Is A Strong Strategy
by Shifra on September 2, 2014What a relief! For the past six days, we all thought that the faux-POTUS made a fool of himself and of the U.S., with his pronouncement that he does not have a strategy to deal with ISIS. But thank God we have faux-Conservative, faux-thinker Joe Scarborough to set us straight: Via Mark Finkelstein – Newsbusters: Scarborough Defends ‘No Strategy’ Obama: ‘Straight Out of The Art of War’ Alexander the Great. Stonewall Jackson. George S. Patton. To this list of some of history’s greatest military strategists, a new name must be added: that of Barack Obama. That is, if you agree with Joe Scarborough’s take on President Obama’s statement at yesterday’s press conference that “we don’t have a strategy yet” regarding...

Obama Lifts Ban On Libyans Attending U.S. Flight Schools, Nuclear Studies
by Shifra on August 25, 2014pic h/t: northsuburbanrepublicanforum.org It looks like this story, besides a few news outlets, seems to have flown under the radar. (pun not intended) Via Investor’s Business Daily: 8/15/14 – Andrew Malcolm — Obama lifts ban on Libyans attending flight school, studying nuclear science here Remember the aftermath of 9/11 when investigators made the chilling discovery that American flight instructors had unwittingly taught the Arab hijackers how to fly jumbo jets like the ones they plowed into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing some 3,000 innocents? And how one of the dumber hijackers had raised suspicions, letting slip that he had no intention of seeking a pilot’s license? But, you might not be surprised to learn, Washington wasn’t really into...

Is Something Seriously Wrong With John Kerry?
by Shifra on August 13, 2014I report. You decide: Max Steinberg, from Los Angeles, visited Israel, several years ago. He soon returned, joined the IDF, and became a sharpshooter in the elite Golani Brigade. Max was one of the first casualties of the Israel-Hamas conflict. It was unclear whether his parents and two siblings would be able to catch a flight for his funeral, and so the call went out in Israel, on Facebook and Twitter, for people to attend the funeral of the “Lone Soldier.” His family did attend the funeral. So did 30,000 Israelis. John Kerry was in Israel that day, and he went to visit Max’s parents. So, what do you say to jet-lagged, grief-stricken parents who have just buried their 24...

A Cartoon About Israel That Even A Lib Can Understand
by Shifra on July 22, 2014It is usually during a time of crisis that we get to see who our true friends really are. Israel is now in a time of crisis. And if you take a quick glance at Twitter, it is immediately obvious that Conservatives, and especially Christian Conservatives, “have Israel’s back.” Libs? Not so much. The ones on the extreme Left? As they say in Brooklyn, “fuhgeddaboudit.” Nothing will change their minds, and they will continue to spew their hateful venom. (The tweets about Hitler, Jews and ovens are particularly classy. Not) Other Libs are just Low Information People. (Remember, they all voted for the Gum-Chewer-in Chief.) Kudos to Tammy for engaging with one of ‘em: Mia Farrow. You can follow the...

Dude, Does Anyone At The State Department Know *Anything* ?
by Shifra on July 9, 2014Someone needs to tell State Dept. Spokesperson Jen Psaki to start reading newspapers. I mean, isn’t that the way her boss, POTUS, seems to get his information about foreign and domestic events? Anyway, I am volunteering to help her out: Via Guardian: Palestinian unity government of Fatah and Hamas sworn in ….The new government will reunite Gaza and the West Bank under a single political authority for the first time since 2007, when Hamas – which won Palestinian legislative elections in 2006 – asserted control over the Gaza Strip, forcing out Fatah…. Psaki must’ve missed this article. How else to explain this exchange, from yesterday? Via Free Beacon: State Dept: ‘No Evidence That Hamas Plays Any Role’ in Palestinian Government...

Obama Pens Article for Leftist Israeli Paper, Hamas Attacks Israel
by Shifra on July 8, 2014Great timing, Barack Hussein Obama! On the day when Hamas aims rockets at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as well as southern Israel, Obama pens an op-ed piece in Haaretz, calling for… restraint. The op-ed piece is full of platitudes, cliches, and yes, plenty of “I’s” As Air Force One prepared to touch down in the Holy Land last year, I looked out my window…. And as a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain endured by the parents…. I am also heartbroken…. As I’ve said time and again, neither I nor the United States will ever waver in our commitment to the security of Israel…. As I said last year in Jerusalem, peace is necessary, just, and possible. I believed...

Kerry Slammed by Israeli Official After Condemning Arab Teen’s “Revenge Killing”
by Shifra on July 3, 2014In the spirit of his boss, Barack Hussein Obama, who had no idea what he was talking about when he commented, back in ’09, that “the police acted stupidly,” John Kerry felt compelled to comment on the murder of an Arab teenager. Kerry assumed that the murder of the Arab teen was in revenge for the three Israeli kidnapped boys, whose bodies were discovered on Monday. Tens of thousands of Israelis attended the joint funerals, and the country was plunged into mourning. Via Times of Israel: Israeli official slams Kerry after condemnation of Arab teen’s death ….”Those who undertake acts of vengeance only destabilize an already explosive and emotional situation,” Kerry said. “We look to both the Government of Israel...

Blah Blah Alert==> Hillary Gives A ‘Tough Speech’ On Iran
by Shifra on May 21, 2014Last week, Hillary Clinton gave a speech to the American Jewish Committee. It was an incredible speech. Incredibly full of pandering platitudes, clichés, and confusing/contradictory sentences. Highlights…er…low points of the speech, via Times of Israel: Hillary Clinton talks tough on Iran at Jewish conference (with commentary by yours truly) ….Clinton, in a plenary address at the American Jewish Committee’s Global Forum, took credit for setting up a tough sanctions regime on Tehran and laying the groundwork for the current negotiations over a comprehensive nuclear agreement. “When I left, we were in a position to really explore if we had set the table well enough,” Clinton said, recounting the work done between 2008 and 2012 in strengthening the sanctions regime, “revitalizing”...

So-Called Palestinians Pick Up On Kerry’s ‘Apartheid’ Comment
by Shifra on April 30, 2014Well, looks like Charles Krauthammer got it exactly right: Yesterday, after John Kerry’s outrageous remarks regarding Israel potentially becoming an “apartheid” state, Krauthammer stated: This is an injury to an ally that will echo, because it will be repeated. People will say, ‘I’m not saying this, it is the Secretary of State of the United States.’ And, less than twenty-four hours after Kerry put his foot in his mouth (so to speak), this: Via Breitbart: Palestinian Negotiator: Israel Sabotaging Talks, Trying to ‘Consolidate Apartheid Regime’ PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat released a statement Tuesday claiming that the Israeli contingent at the recently concluded round of peace talks “never gave the negotiations a chance to succeed” and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...
