The Year I Was Born: 1959

Buddy Holly died in a plane crash, Fidel Castro staged a communist revolution in Cuba, Marilyn Monroe starred in Some Like it Hot, and the British embassy was worried about Kenyan students: A memo from a British diplomat in Washington to Whitehall — released today by the National Archives in West London — sets out their […]

‘International Solidarity Movement’ Protester Is Welcomed in Israel

And by “welcomed,” I mean busted in his punk face with a rifle butt. It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the International Solidarity Movement, an alliance of Western leftists supporting Palestinian “armed resistance” against Israel. And my opinion of ISM is evidently shared by at least one member of the Israel military: Denmark […]

First in War, First in Peace, First on the List of Britain’s All-Time Enemies

The Brits acknowledge George Washington’s greatness: Our nation’s first president, who led the 13 colonies in the Revolution against England’s tyrannical rule, was picked by a wide margin in a National Army Museum in London poll as the greatest foe ever faced by Britain. Washington delivered one of “the most jarring defeat(s)” ever inflicted upon […]

Whatever You Do, Don’t Tell Canada: Muslim Women Have Boobies!

Before blogging about this, I first checked Five Feet of Fury to see if the One Good Canadian, Kathy Shaidle, had weighed in. Because she obviously should, and if she had, I would have been obliged to link and quote her. How she could have missed this one, I don’t know. Canadians are in an […]

Memo From the National Affairs Desk: Foreboding Gloom Pervades Vanuatu

Conservatives are not going to jump until they hear where Governor Romney wants to take everybody.” — Richard Viguerie, veteran conservative leader “I still think Mitt’s electability is a myth and a […]

‘Most Beautiful Woman in Canada’ Is …

. . . kind of like “conservative Republican from Massaschusetts.”   Jenna Talackova is accepted as a woman for the same reason some accept Mitt Romney as a conservative: Because Donald Trump said so! The similarities don’t end there: Jenna also used to have a “flip-flopper” problem. Now she’s got an “enthusiasm gap.” Some women […]

Do We Now Know Why Media Matters Dumped M.J. Rosenberg?

You may have missed it over the weekend when I mentioned that the lberal smear outfit Media Matters had parted ways with M.J. Rosenberg, who had been espousing the “Jews Against Israel” gibberish we’ve recently heard from the far-left “J-Street” movement. Rosenberg tried to portray this move as voluntary, but in an update on the […]

Too Stupid for Media Matters

In a sidebar headline at AOSHQ, I noticed a story from The Lid: BREAKING: MJ Rosenberg OUT At Media Matters Hmmm. Media Matters fires some guy. What’s this about? Rosenberg’s offense was describing pro-Israel Jews as “Israel Firsters.” Which is to say, Rosenberg thinks his fellow Jews are too pro-Israel. Let me see if I […]
