Mr Awad, Mr Hooper?
I periodically check out the official website of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) to see if they have issued a statement on the happenings in Iran. I have thus far, failed to find any mention of Iran on their site. Of course, it may be that they [...]

I am happy to post this article from the Jewish Journal on the attempt by a San Jose activist group to organize a de-shelving operation at Trader Joe’s stores selling Israeli products. Kudos to Trader Joes for standing up to these yahoos. According to the article below, the whole operation was [...]

The Iranian “election” -and the winner is…….
(Tip of the hat to the great Don Martin)
I must confess I have very mixed reactions to the happenings in Iran over the “re-election” of Ahmadinejad. That’s because I vividly remember the hostage crisis thirty years ago, when our diplomats were held under threat of trial [...]

The shooting at the Holocaust Museum, combined with the shootings in Arkansas and Kansas, have continued to spur a public discussion on the motives of the shooters and their political implications. Many pundits on the left have continued to use the Tiller murder and the murder at the [...]

I received this message from a colleague alerting me to the fact that Trader Joe’s, a well-known market for imported foods and wines, is now under pressure to stop selling products made in Israel (like Israeli cous cous, for example). This effort is being launched by South Bay Mobilization, a leftist, activist [...]
What will Obama say in Cairo?

With President Obama on his way to Cairo to deliver an address labeled as a message to the Muslim world, speculation is rife that this will be yet another “apology” to be issued on behalf of America for all the “wrongs” we have committed.
The speech, which will be given at Cairo’s Al [...]

I am flattered.

Some Reflections on the Hate Fest at UC-Irvine

Galloway will be at UCI May 21. Uday can’t make it. He’s dead.
There is yet one more event scheduled by the UC-Irvine Muslim Student Union in concert with their program entitled:”Israel-The Politics of Genocide”. That will be May 21, when the America-detesting British MP-and friend of [...]

On Monday, the Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine began a week of Israel-bashing that will continue through Thursday-then culminate May 21 with a speech by British MP-and Saddam Hussein family friend- George Galloway.

The state of California (surprisingly perhaps) is trying to re-institute its death penalty, which has been in limbo over arguments that it violates the concept of “cruel and inhuman” punishment since the lethal injection may cause pain to the executed.
Only in California.
This issue was brought to the fore when attorneys for Michael [...]

This whole flap over whether to prosecute members of the Bush administration over the water boarding of (3) al-Qaeda terrorists is leaving me more disgusted every day. First President Obama rules out prosecution-then he flip-flops and says a prosecution of higher-ups may still be possible but not against those who actually carried [...]
