by Shifra on April 21, 2016Oy vey… Via Jerusalem Post: ….MyHeritage.com, a family history network created by Gilad Japhet in 2003 – which has since expanded to support 42 languages and some 80 million users internationally – found the duo is 18 generations removed from a scandalous royal British affair.

by Vintageport on April 19, 2016**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Vintageport** You can’t make this stuff up…no matter how hard you try. Add this to the legacy known as the Obama Years. Via Breitbart: Rapper Rick Ross visited the White House on Friday as an ambassador for President Obama’s black and Latino youth program — and his court-ordered ankle monitor reportedly went off shortly after the president concluded a speech. According to the Associated Press, the “Hood Billionaire” rapper joined fellow artists Alicia Keys, Common, Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, Janelle Monae, Ludacris, Chance the Rapper and others at the White House on Friday, where the group met with the president to discuss the administration’s “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, which focuses on empowering black...

Man Accidentally Deletes His Entire Company With One Line Of Bad Code
by Shifra on April 15, 2016Oops… Via Independent: A man appears to have deleted his entire company with one mistaken piece of code. By accidentally telling his computer to delete everything in his servers, hosting provider Marco Marsala has seemingly removed all trace of his company and the websites that he looks after for his customers. Mr Marsala wrote on a forum for server experts called Server Faultthat he was now stuck after having accidentally run destructive code on his own computers. But far from advising them how to fix it, most experts informed him that he had just accidentally deleted the data of his company and its clients, and in so doing had probably destroyed his entire company with just one line of code....

[Video] Saudi Soccer Match Stopped Because Of Player’s ‘Anti-Sharia’ Hair
by Shifra on April 11, 2016This is truly a hair-razing story 🙂 Via Jerusalem Post: Saudi professional Football League was stopped in the middle by the referee to fix the haircut of three players, whose haircut was not in accordance with Sharia law. During the Friday encounter between the teams of Ahad and al-Bathin, the referee stopped the match and took the three players aside, where he fixed their Mohawk haircuts, in front of the eyes of the crowd that attended the match. After the players got their new haircut, the match was renewed, about an hour after it was paused. The Mohawk hairstyle is defined as a “heretic hairstyle” in the Saudi Kingdom specifically and in Arab states generally. According to an Islamic fatwa,...

by Shifra on March 7, 2016‘Cause breakin’ up is hard to do… Via NPR: Ever wondered what to do with that special memento from a past relationship, that token that’s just too challenging to toss, not feasible to return, but yet too painful to hold on to? …Well, now you can donate those trinkets of love to a museum, The Museum of Broken Relationships, to be precise. The new museum is set to open in Los Angeles in May and they’re currently in the process of building their collection.

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...

by Shifra on February 23, 2016Ooops… Via Mediaite: Comedian and voice actor Harry Shearer somehow got his hands on audio of Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough chatting behind-the-scenes with Donald Trump in between breaks of their MSNBC town hall…. “You know what I thought was kind of a wow moment, was the guy you brought up on stage,” Brzezinski began by telling Trump. “We played it several times this morning,” Scarborough put in. “I watched your show this morning,” Trump responded. “You have me almost as a legendary figure, I like that.” After that, Brzezinski thanked Trump for agreeing to the interview. “You, you get great ratings and a raise,” he told her. “Me, I get nothing.” “This will make us all look good,” Trump...

New Dating Website For Single Socialist Sanders Supporters
by Shifra on February 18, 2016If you’re Feeling the Bern *and* Looking for Love, check out BernieSingles.com Or better yet, seek therapy… Via The Hill: Bernie Sanders supporters are launching their very own dating site…. This comes after Tinder briefly banned two Sanders supporters from the popular dating app earlier this month because they were accused of harassing dozens of other members with pro-Sanders messages. Now there is a dating site exclusively for Sanders supporters. BernieSingles.com crashed Wednesday after administrators said it “went viral” and reached 1,000 members “in less than an hour,” but they are working to restore it…. The site urges members to be respectful of each other and live by the motto “what would Bernie do?”…

Video: German Teen Climbs Egyptian Pyramid… Illegally
by Shifra on January 31, 2016I’ve always wanted to visit the Pyramids. Although this is not quite what I had in mind. Via USA Today: “I can’t describe it in words … It was really unbelievable for me. It was absolutely amazing.” That’s how 18-year-old Andrej Ciesielski describes his incredible, yet illegal, climb to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza in broad daylight on Jan. 18. The German tourist, who writes about the experience on his blog, says he first visited Cairo before hiring a taxi to take him to Giza. Though climbing the oldest and largest of the three pyramids could result in a three-year jail term, or something far worse if he lost his footing, “I thought the photos would be...

Move Over, Hello Kitty: Presenting Gudetama, The Egg Yolk!
by Shifra on January 3, 2016If this catches on in the U.S., CAIR will probably throw a temper tantrum, since Gudetama is often portrayed resting with a “bacon blanket.” Via WSJ: Hello Kitty has long inspired the world with her uplifting cartoon cuteness. But when life is hard, inspiration can come from someone who just goes home and snuggles under a blanket of bacon. So Kitty’s creator, Sanrio Co., now offers a downbeat role model in Gudetama, an egg yolk that doesn’t see life sunnyside-up. “Can I go home now?” the yolk mutters and lies around moaning, “I don’t feel like doing anything.” The defeatist cartoon character has been a surprise hit. Gudetama is a dark departure for Sanrio, whose Hello Kitty for more than...

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...

Oops: CAIR Spokesman Misspeaks… Compulsion To Confess?
by Shifra on November 23, 2015Uh oh. This dude’s slip is showing… Via NewsBusters: An appearance…on Alan Colmes’ radio show went from bad to barely better for a spokesman with the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Florida CAIR branch at Tampa, made an earnest attempt to separate Islamic fanatics responsible for last week’s carnage in Paris from genuine Muslims, despite a revealing gaffe right out of the gate. Shibly was following the predictable left-wing script in calling for Americans to remain “united” in fighting jihadists when he was forced to correct himself– COLMES (after introducing Shibly as representing the “Center for” American-Islamic Relations): It saddens me, the number of incidents we’ve seen over the last week since the Paris attacks,...

Israel’s New Media Czar Says Obama Is ‘Anti-Semite,’ Kerry ‘Has Mental Age of 12’
by Shifra on November 6, 2015Ron Baratz, who holds a Ph.D. in philosophy from Hebrew University, enjoys writing Facebook rants. However, his recent appointment as Netanyahu’s Media Chief was jeopardized after some his previous writing came to light. A spokesman for the State Department said that “name-calling is simply not a polite thing to do.” (Oh, really? Like the time, last year, when a senior member of the Obama administration called Netanyahu “chickens***” ?) And Josh Earnest called Baratz’s comments ‘troubling and offensive.’ I call them ‘accurate and insightful.” Via i24 News: Ron Baratz, who was to be the new media advisor, called US President Obama’s conduct anti-Semitic…. Baratz, who was supposed to accompany Netanyahu to Washington on Sunday, will no longer travel with the...
