One of my new themes on this site is that the Israel lobby as we know it is over. Gaza and Netanyahu shattered it. Obama gave his speech in Cairo because he knew he would have political cover from American Jews to reach out to the Muslim world. Marty Peretz and Charles Krauthammer didn’t like the speech, but Jeffrey Goldberg and Roger Cohen (and Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod) did. That’s... 

The situation in America is alarming If America becomes too much hated for obvious reasons, their lack of knowledge about the general cultures of the world, spreading shallowness and misunderstanding with all countries. The ultimate nonsensical American belief that they are always right and everyone else is wrong, means that all countries would hate America. The dollar will collapse, it is just a matter... 

US congressmen pushing for Reparations for slavery. Steve Cohen is Tennessee’s first Jewish congressman who tried to join the Congressional Black Caucus but was refused entry because they said he is white.  Read More »

Recently, the U.S. Congress approved of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) selling 400 metric tons of its gold for around $13 billion. Something’s very fishy here. For starters, it’s not clear how much gold the IMF has and where it’s located. Last year, a rationale for the IMF selling its gold was that the IMF should be investing in financial securities with positive yields. But none of these... 

A drug dealer was arrested at a barber’s half-way through a drastic haircut – and it resulted in a bizarre police mugshot! Marcus T. Bailey (25), was picked up at the salon in Indianapolis, Indiana after he sold cocaine to two junkies lounging outside right under the noses of a patrol. He was expecting a haircut but instead the police stormed in! The officers dragged Bailey out of the hairdressers... 

In just a few weeks time, California hits the wall. And Americans should take a good, long look at the fiscal and social wreck of the Golden Land, because California is at a place to which all of America is heading. In May, when five fund-raising proposals were put on the ballot, Gov. Schwarzenegger pleaded with the overtaxed Californians not to make their state “the poster child for dysfunction.” As... 

Former President Bill Clinton said Saturday that Americans should be mindful of the nation’s changing demographics, which led to the election of Barack Obama as president. He told an Arab-American audience of 1,000 people that the U.S. is no longer just a black-white country, nor a country that is dominated by Christians and a powerful Jewish minority, given the growing numbers of Muslims, Hindus...

In her first Sunday show interview since becoming secretary of state, Hillary Clinton said it is “US policy” to treat an Iranian nuclear attack on Israel as an attack on the United States. This echoed statements from Clinton’s presidential campaign in which she proposed that an Iranian attack on Israel would provoke “massive retaliation” and a U.S. response that “would... 

Prodding the international community, President Barack Obama called Friday “for all of us to redouble our efforts” toward separate Israeli and Palestinian states. “The moment is now for us to act,” he declared. Alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel one day after his trip to the Middle East, Obama said: “The United States can’t force peace upon the parties.”...

Todd Allen Rutherford was arrested about 6 p.m. Monday in Northeast Portland, police said. He was being held at the Multnomah County jail on one count of murder and was expected to make his initial court appearance Wednesday. Rutherford is accused of gunning down 18-year-old...

General Motors Corp. has pulled together many of the pieces needed to complete government-ordered restructuring, but its board still is likely to decide Saturday to head into bankruptcy protection because there’s too much left to do. Word of the board’s decision, which would be made during two days of meetings, may not be known until Monday, when GM is expected to actually file for bankruptcy... 

Mr. Rockefeller, you should be ashamed to lash out at a bastion of liberty and free speech, but your tirade is to be expected. After all, you’re nothing more than a bag man for Big Coal, which you slavishly serve and help rape your beautiful state for a handful of coins. You’re also part of the “Wars for Empire and Israel” crowd, voting for the illegal and immoral Iraq War... 

“Obama Calls on World to ‘Stand Up to’ North Korea” read the headline. The United States, Obama said, was determined to protect “the peace and security of the world.” Shades of doublespeak, doublethink, 1984. North Korea is a small place. China alone could snuff it out in a few minutes. Yet the president of the U.S. thinks that nothing less than the entire world is a match for North...
