Even the writers of “Breaking Bad” get that Ron Paul followers are nuts. That’s why they made a meth cook a Ron Paul fanatic. But you probably missed it.

As anyone who follows pop culture–or television’s supposed “Golden Age” on cable (that’s what the conventional wisdom people in the mainstream entertainment media keep telling us)–knows, Sunday Night is the night that the very last episode of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” airs. The series finale will probably go nuclear–one way or another–with Walter White dying of cancer or in the violence of the meth business that harms so many lives. (I don’t have cable or Netflix, so I’ll have to wait for the DVD to find out.) As I’ve noted on this site, I was hooked on the show–even though it is incredibly violent and the protagonist (Walter White) is really the villain–because of its tight writing and thrilling plot twists and turns. But the writers are also clever in other ways.

Reader Craig must have bionic vision because he spotted something that neither I nor most “Breaking Bad” viewers saw: that scientist and meth cook (and vegan) Gale Boetticher (actor David Costabile) is (or was) a huge Ron Paul fan, so much so that he put a Ron Paul for President sticker in his meth recipe notebook. It’s very quick and happens in the episode in which DEA Hank jokes with brother-in-law Walter White that White is the W.W., which are the initials of the real name of drug kingpin “Heisenberg.” Craig sent me the screen capture of the quick shot of Boetticher’s notebook, when Craig paused the video while watching it on Netflix. The picture is posted above. Writes Craig:

As for the Ron Paul thing… remember that flashback in that same scene where Hank sarcastically suggests (and quite rightly) that “W.W.” stood for Walter White, and Walt jokingly replies “You got me”? Earlier in that same scene (but not repeated in a later flashback), Walt goes flipping through Gale’s notebook after Hank shows it to him. Pay attention, and you’ll see the Ron Paul bumper sticker. Earlier in that in the series, back when Gale was still alive, he told Walt that he was a libertarian and believed in letting consenting adults make their own choices. Read the rest of this entry »

On Wednesday, news broke that Islamic terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite a/k/a “Natalie Faye Webb” a/k/a “The White Widow” is a suspect in last weekend’s massacre at Nairobi, Kenya’s Westgate Mall. Well, I’ve heard from her family, which is upset that I’ve written about and criticized her Islamic terrorist involvement, including with Al-Qaeda-linked terrorists from Mogadishu. The Lewthwaite relative calls me “sinister.” Hmmm . . . I’m the sinister one, not Lewthwaite who apparently murdered 72 innocent civilians and injured 200 of them?

As I’ve noted before on this site, in May 2012 Kenyan police raided the home in Mombassa where she was staying with terrorists linked to plans to attack Westerners in Kenya (BINGO!) and questioned her. Unfortunately, police released her, believing she was an innocent tourist. Once they realized their mistake, she had already fled. It looks like this attack on the mall was a longtime in the making and shouldn’t have come as a surprise to Kenyan authorities, given what they learned about Ms. Lewthwaite nearly 1.5 years ago.

When I wrote about Ms. Lewthwaite a/k/a “Sherafiyah” on this site, back in May 2012, I called her “a stupid, zaftig White chick desperate for a man, who converted to Islam and helped her British Islamic terrorist husband, while he plotted to blow up British subway trains.” Yes, her hubby, Germaine Lindsay, was part of the July 7, 2005 London subway terrorist attack . . . and so was she, despite the fact that publicly she pretended to be a victim and “condemned” the attack (the kinda fake you’d see on “Oprah” when that daytime talk pollution was still on).

Here’s an e-mail exchange I recently had with someone claiming to be her relative who contacted me upset over my writing, but not very upset, apparently, over the murders that Lewthwaite perpetrated in the name of Islam (I’ve kept all typos in, to preserve the e-mail messages exactly as they were sent to me):

And the winner of the Quote of the Week goes to Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina C. Mohammed:

The Kenyan foreign minister added that the country was unapologetic about their relationship with Israel.

“We are not going to apologise for being friends with Israel and other nations,” said Amina Mohammed.

As I told you earlier this week, Israel was tremendously helpful and involved in rescuing the hostages from Islamic terrorist murderers inside Nairobi, Kenya’s Westgate Mall.

But Israel–unlike all Muslim nations–has also been tremendously involved in helping Kenya become one of the most Westernized, modern countries in Africa. Israeli scientists and agriculture experts have taught Kenyan farmers the latest in irrigation technology. Many Jewish medical doctors and surgeons–including some I know from the Detroit area–have gone to Kenya in programs organized by Israel, where they operate on and provide modern healthcare for Kenyans. And Israeli companies have brought Kenya other modern techonologies. Read the rest of this entry »

Along with wanting the world to know that she has lots of sex and does lots of drugs, skanky Miley Cyrus a/k/a Miley Virus also wants you to know that she’s “down wit da struggle.” She told Rolling Stone that she “grew up” when she was in Detroit one recent summer. But as with many other White celebrity phonies who want you to know how streetwise, gangsta, and Black they are, it’s all a bunch of baloney. (Kid Rock a/k/a Bob Ritchie is another such example. He used to brag that he’s “here to represent trailer parks” but he never lived in one his life. He grew up in his multi-millionaire car dealer father’s mansion.)

Cyrus’ Detroit “gangsta bonhomie” is bunk. Cyrus was never “in Detroit,” though she might have passed through the city while in a car. In fact, she filmed a schlocky straight-to-video movie, “LOL”–subsidized with gazillions in absurd Michigan tax credits and rebates–with Demi Moore in one of Michigan’s swankiest cities, Grosse Pointe, home to the gargantuan waterside mansions of many a Ford family scion And, then, Cyrus and then-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth lived in a rented mansion in one of Michigan’s other swankiest zip codes, Orchard Lake, Michigan, home to the mansions of billionaires like Compuware founder Peter Karmanos. Cyrus and Hemsworth were photographed in swimsuits on the Orchard Lake and rode on someone’s yacht. Uh-huh, that’s really gangsta, isn’t it?

In her four-letter word filled Rolling Stone interview, which she did while getting a “Rolling $tone” tattoo on the bottoms of her feet at a seedy Los Angeles tattoo parlor, Cyrus said:

Miley’s transformation from America’s sweetheart into whatever the hell she is now kicked into high gear three years ago, when she went to Detroit to shoot a movie called LOL. “Detroit’s where I felt like I really grew up,” she says. “It was only for a summer, but that’s where I started going to clubs, where I got my first tattoo. Well, not my first tattoo, but my first without my mom’s consent. I got it on 8 Mile! I lied to the guy and told him I was 18. I got a heart on my finger and wore a Band-Aid for two months so my mom wouldn’t find out.” She also bonded with her co-star, Demi Moore, whose rocky relationship with Ashton Kutcher was becoming a major tabloid story. “That was dope, because I think we needed each other at that point,” Miley says. “We both needed to get out of L.A.” Read the rest of this entry »

Tonight at sundown is the last of the Jewish holidays for a while (while Chanukah is upcoming, I don’t take off for that, as it is not that kind of Jewish holiday). The holidays that begin tonight, Shemini Atzeret (which means the “8th Day of the Assembly” and always comes right after the Jewish holiday of Sukkot) and Simchat Torah (which means “Happiness for the–-or of the–-Torah”) end on Friday Night. I’ll be out of live online commission but have stuff (including my Friday movie reviews) that I’ve written in advance for publication here on Thursday and Friday, which I think you’ll find of interest and which are newsworthy. And I’ll likely be putting one or two more things up, today.

To all my Jewish readers, enjoy the holiday. For everyone else, stay tuned. Y’all come back now, ya hear?! Read the rest of this entry »

Like Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, and other pretentious wealthy Blacks–real and pretend (see Hillary)–Barack Obama speaks the Queen’s English to White audiences and Ebonics to Black audiences. And actor Samuel L. Jackson is calling him out on it. Jackson says that while it is okay for Obama to speak in jive to his homies privately, he should “represent” like an educated person in public appearances and stop dropping his “G”s and so on at speeches before Black audiences. Here’s what he told Playboy (if you don’t want to visit Playboy–everyone knows people “only read it for the articles”–go here for the highlights of the interview):

On President Obama consciously dropping gs off the ends of words to sound like Joe Average: “First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to ‘relate.’ Be a leader. Be (effing) presidential. Look, I grew up in a society where I could say ‘It ain’t’ or ‘What it be’ to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family what cared about me, who has a well-read background, I (effing) conjugate.” Read the rest of this entry »

The Obama Administration has a message for Americans who want to travel overseas to become jihadists and homicide bombers: if you’re caught, we’ll set you free and give you a $100 fine.

It’s truly an outrage that less than two weeks before American jihadists helped murder 72 people at a Nairobi, Kenya mall, another American-born Islamic terrorist was set free by the Obama “Justice” Department and given a small fine. Eric Harroun, a U.S. Army veteran of Arab descent, traveled to Syria, where he fought alongside Al-Qaeda-connected Free Syrian Army and Al-Nusra terrorists and engaged in jihad. He was finally arrested and returned here, reportedly by the Jordanians, and was indicted on federal criminal charges. But in the end, he was given a mere three years probation and a $100 fine. Yup, what a great message to send to American Islamic terrorists: you keep doing what you’re doing. We’ll look the other way.

Oh, and by the way, one of the two people who signed affidavits assuring America that Harroun wasn’t a terrorist was Elizabeth O’Bagy, who was recently exposed as a fake and a liar, and who is known to be associated with Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria, herself. It’s based on her false information that John McCain and Barack Obama were ready to send more weapons and help to the Syrians and go to war with them. For that reason AND because of her lying about having a Ph.D. from Georgetown (she claimed she had one; she didn’t), O’Bagy was recently fired by the Institute for the Study of War. But, hey, this known serial liar is “reliable” enough to help a terrorist go free.

I guess it has something to do with the fact that–despite the deal with the Russians regarding alleged Syrian WMD–Obama and McCain still very badly want U.S. arms and funds to go to the same Al-Qaedaniks with whom Eric Harroun was in jihadi partnership. So, the Obama Justice Department can’t say they are terrorists when Obama, himself, John Kerry, and McCain keep telling us they are not terrorists. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that this dung heap, Harroun, is a big “Palestine” activist (I wonder if the feds looked into whether he has HAMAS connections and/or has “fought” with that terrorist group).

Last week, 30-year-old Phoenix native Eric Harroun faced a possible sentence of life in prison after the Justice Department accused him of fighting in Syria on behalf of Al-Qaeda. . . . Harroun suddenly agreed to a plea deal yesterday, and his sentence is quite a bit shorter than life in prison — he’ll be released from jail, be placed on probation for three years, and has to pay a $100 fine. . . .

When Hassan Rouhani was “elected” President of Iran in June, I was invited to be on some BBC show, where I said that Rouhani is far worse than his predecessor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because he puts a moderate mask on the exact same extremism. He holds the same hatred for Jews, endorses the same Holocaust denial, and has the same desire to wipe Israel and the Jews off the face of the map. And, so it goes, despite whatever phony words Rouhani utters today at the United Nations Assembly of Third World Banana Republics.

But, since he’s smart enough not to say those things explicitly–and send public Rosh HaShanah greetings to the Jews in a calculated PR move–he’s raved and gushed over as someone different. And, so, he is far more dangerous than Ahmadinejad. I, for one, was fine without Rouhani’s phony Jewish New Year wishes. I’ve gotten plenty of death, rape, and torture threats from his fellow Shi’ite co-religionists in Dearbornistan who revere him and said the stuff to me that Rouhani is actually thinking about Jews and Americans.

And, yet, this same guy, Rouhani, is still funding the Hezbollah terrorist group that murdered over 300 Americans in cold blood at the Marine barracks and U.S. Embassy in Beirut nearly thirty years ago. Rouhani, in a much-hyped recent interview with NBC’s Ann Curry, declined to disavow Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial. She asked him at least twice, and he refused. That means he thinks exactly as his predecessor . . . as if there was a doubt. So far, no one has actually identified any concrete differences between Rouhani and Ahmadinejad, other than a diploma from Tehran New School for Charm Offensive Planning. As I said back in June on BBC, this is just another head of the Iranian ayatollahs’ muti-headed hydra, just like Ahmadinejad was. The ayatollahs are the puppetmasters. And just because they chose a puppet with a “kinder” phony visage, doesn’t mean there is any less bent to their wishes for the death and destruction of the West (not just Israel and the Jews).

**** UPDATE: As of 10:20 p.m. ET, the death toll at the hands of Islamic murderers at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi is, sadly, now up to 68, and three of the terrorists are AMERICANS.

That’s not surprising, especially since I’ve written for years about Al-Shabaab recruiting Americans as terrorists, such as Shirwa Ahmed and Abdullahi Ahmed a/k/a Cabdulaahi Ahmed Faarax (and about how faux-“moderate” Muslim Mohammed Zuhdi Jasser defended a Minneapolis-based imam who recruited Americans for Al-Shabaab). I’ve also written about how Al-Shabaab has gamed our immigration system and secreted its terrorists onto American soil, where they’ve disappeared. And then there is Omar Hammami, an Arab Muslim who grew up in Alabama, who recently “martyred” himself in terrorist operations as a homicide bomber to Al-Shabaab. ****

So, Muslims take over Nairobi, Kenya’s Westgate Mall in Kenya, tell everyone who’s Muslim to get up and leave, and then shoot and murder at least 59 (including four Americans), injure at least 175, and hold at least 30 hostages. And, yet, the propagandists for this jihadist, murderous religion still call it, the “Religion of Peace,” with a straight face. They clearly announced they were targeting anyone and everyone who is a non-Muslim. But Islam is such a tolerant, peaceful religion, right? Uh-huh. Sure it is.

Remember, THIS. IS. ISLAM. . . .

Officials say there are at least 10 to 15 gunmen involved. Initially it was believed the gang were armed robbers but it soon became clear the attackers were targeting non-Muslims.”The gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave. They were safe, and non-Muslims would be targeted,” said witness Elijah Kamau who was shopping in the mall. . . . Read the rest of this entry »

“Prisoners,” in theaters this weekend, is a well-crafted thriller. While it is very violent–and not suitable for kids (it’s rated “R” for a reason)–the movie is tight and keeps you riveted and on the edge of your seat the whole time. At 2.5 hours, the movie is a little long, but you’re never bored, and there’s little of it that should be cut. It’s a very dark movie–dark and dreary the entire time in cinematics as well as story.

The story: two couples (Hugh Jackman/Maria Bello and Terrence Howard/Viola Davis) are close friends. On Thanksgiving, they have dinner together, but suddenly each couple’s younger daughter is missing. Jackman’s son believes a camper parked in the neighborhood is responsible for the kidnapping. And when the camper is located, the driver, Paul Dano, is mentally slow, and the investigating police detective (Jake Gyllenhaal) does not believe he’s the culprit, after hours of intense questioning. Jackman believes he’s responsible and begins surveilling Dano at the home of his aunt (Melissa Leo), where Dano lives. Soon, after Dano does and says suspicious things, Jackman captures him and subjects him to torture to try to find out where his daughter is. Read the rest of this entry »
