**** UPDATE: So, now, it turns out there was only one gunman, and his name is Aaron Alexis. He claimed to have PTSD (from rescuing victims on 9/11), was discharged from the Navy under negative circumstances, and is a trained sniper. He also allegedly attended a Buddhist temple. I’m not sure why initial reports from DC Police Chief-ette Lanier said there were two other snipers who were, respectively, Black and White and in military uniforms. It’s also odd that as I write this at 8:29 p.m. Eastern, witnesses to the massacre are still under lockdown and still being questioned. And there may still be another suspect at large. And there’s this:

The FBI asked the public to contact the bureau with any tips related to the shooter. “This investigation is still very active,” Valerie Parlave, the FBI’s assistant director-in-charge, said at a news conference. “No piece of information is too small.”

So, were there others, and the government doesn’t want us to know? Or was this guy alone? Sure doesn’t sound like he was, based on this.

Regardless, Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan pioneered the “art” of massacring American servicemen on a military base. He led the way for this guy. END UPDATE ****

I have to laugh at the Department of Homeland Security, racing to declare that there’s “no known connection to terrorism” in today’s clear act of terrorism–a mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, DC, before anyone there knows a thing. I just listened to DC Police Chief-ette Cathy Lanier, saying that while one of the shooters was killed, there may be “two active shooter teams” who’ve escaped–a Black man and a White man apparently dressed in military clothing on the loose. We don’t know who they are or where they went, and yet, Homeland Security already knows this isn’t terrorism? Hilarious. This isn’t about race or lone wolf craziness, since three men of various races are involved. This is coordinated and engages a tactic frequently used by Islamic terrorists: wearing the clothing of our Armed Forces to blend in and gain entry and access.

So, who did it and why? Well, it is the fifth anniversary of the Lehman bailout. But if this was an Occupy Wall Street or Black Bloc operation, they’d choose financial targets, not the Navy. This sure looks like Islamic terrorism. Would love to know the name of the slain shooter (er, the “revert” name). Read the rest of this entry »

Nothing that great and new at the movies, this weekend. I did not see “Insidious 2,” as the screening was at the same time as “The Family.”

* “The Family“: I had mixed feelings about this. Luc Besson, a director whose stuff I usually admire, was also at the helm of this one. But the movie fell flat in a few ways. It’s incredibly, unnecessarily violent, and for a dark comedy, it’s not that funny. It’s not a movie for kids, and not just because of the violence, but the language. It’s full of F-bombs and so on. On the other hand, it is a light, relaxing movie, but I’m not sure what the point was. None of the characters are likable, and it’s kind of a waste of time.

Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer, in novel roles for them, play, respectively, a mobster and his wife. Yes, I’m being sarcastic. Seems like that’s all they play. Ever. They and their two kids–a son and a daughter–are in the witness protection program and keep having to be relocated by their handler, Tommy Lee Jones, because De Niro keeps roughing up the locals throughout Europe. Now, they are in Normandy and bored to death. Meanwhile, the mobsters whom De Niro ratted out–particularly the Don–are plotting to find and murder De Niro and his family in revenge.

My movie reviews will be up shortly, but, before that, something far more important in my eyes and those of the Jewish people. Tonight, the Jewish fast day of Yom Kippur begins at sundown (and ends at nightfall on Saturday Night). It’s a day of atonement for our sins and a day full of prayer to G-d*, asking for forgiveness and a good year.

Yom Kippur is one of the holiest Jewish holidays, at the end of which we believe our fate for the next year is “sealed” by G-d. We believe that on Rosh HaShanah, that fate is written by Him, and on Yom Kippur, He issues His final Judgment. This is Judgment Day.

On Yom Kippur, we fast and pray for about 25 hours to ask G-d for a good year. Before the fast, we eat a big, sumptuous meal, which expands the stomach and makes the fast more difficult. During the holiday, there are strict prohibitions: no food, drink, shower, sex, TV/radio, phone, etc. the whole day, which is mostly spent at synagogue. The idea is that you are removing yourself from worldly and material concerns and focusing on deeper, far more important, spiritual ones, the most important of which is repentance for your sins. We also don’t wear leather shoes, as back in the day, those were a luxury of the wealthy, and the holiday is not about ostentatious or material displays, but about humble requests before G-d. My comfy ASICS GT-2000s await my feet.

I am going to faster services tonight and tomorrow (no sermon or fundraising for Jewish causes, as is the usual), and so in the little free time that I have, I plan to read part of a book I got on the life of an American Jewish soldier who was captured and spent time as a prisoner in a Nazi internment camp during World War II. It’s called, “A European Sojourn 1943-1945 An Autobiography Pvt. Frederick O. Scheer Serial No. 14118781: As Recounted to Rear Admiral William O. Miller J A G C Usn (Ret.).” From Eatonton, Georgia, Pvt. Scheer was captured shortly after the D-Day invasion, and he spent the rest of WW2 as a Prisoner of War in Germany. While we “deprive” ourselves of food and drink for just over 25 hours on this Jewish holy day, I’m sure I’ll read of real deprivation in this book. Read the rest of this entry »

America is going to see more and more of what I call “Election Jihad” or “Halalections” in its future–in which Muslims get elected to office through election fraud because our courts and officials refuse to enforce and/or uphold our election laws, particularly those requiring identification.

Recent Detroit suburb election wins by extremist Muslim immigrants are yet two more reasons we need courts to uphold strict election and voter identification laws and why it matters so much. This should be the case not just for Election Day voters, but for those seeking absentee ballots. Take the case of Arab Muslim immigrant, Abdul Algazali, a man who might be elected mayor of a prominent Detroit-area city through fraud. And that’s not to mention that he is probably not eligible for office since he has multiple delinquencies on his property taxes.

I’ve written many times before about the Islamization of the City of Hamtramck, which is wholly surrounded on all sides by the City of Detroit. Hamtramckstan, as I call it, went from being a city of Polish immigrants (including my great-uncle, Chaim Dorman, who had shoe stores there) to one dominated by Muslim extremists mostly from Bangladesh, Yemen, and Baltic and Slavic countries. This is a city in which residents are subject to the noise pollution of the Muslim call to prayer from early in the morning to late at night, and where animals to be brutally sacrificed for Muslim holidays roam the streets and then are dismembered in unsanitary ways. It’s the city where there are shariah-compliant, female-only proms and the Polish Catholic heritage is deliberately being erased to appease Muslims. Now, the man who overwhelmingly won the city’s primary for Mayor, extremist Muslim chiropractor, Dr. Abdul Algazali, a Yemeni Muslim Arab immigrant, may owe his victory to election fraud.

Forget about the European Union’s designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist group. The EU has. Europe will now finance Hezbollah, by buying its agricultural products from Lebanon, and spreading them all over Europe. If you live in Europe and eat potatoes, you are probably helping finance Hezbollah. And the United States encouraged this enterprise (because, apparently, American potato farmers need more competition financed by their own taxes . . . and from terrorists, to make matters worse).

>

For years, Hezbollah grew hashish and other drug-related crops in the Bekaa Valley. But the United States suggested the group grow potatoes and even helped the terrorist group in this endeavor, courtesy of your tax dollars. Now, Hezbollah potatoes will be all over Europe, courtesy of European Union Ambassador, er . . . Ambassadwhore to Lebanon, Angelina Eichhorst, who has agreed that the EU will import 50,000 tons of Hezbollah potatoes . . . and pay big bucks for them. Eichhorst has some warped sexual fantasies about Hezbollah apparently, since she repeatedly–in the EU’s name–meets with Hezbollah officials, including Ammar Musawi and smiles her big girl smile at them. Wink, wink. Read the rest of this entry »

Every year on the anniversary of 9/11, including today, I put up the three things every American needs to know and remember. But there are actually two more that I’ll be adding in future years: Remember the assorted hucksters, con artists, and phonies who’ve fraudulently turned 9/11 into their commercial brand and used it to fill their coffers (including Palestinian Muslim con artist Hanan Qahwaji Tudor a/k/a Brigitte Gabriel–stay tuned for more on her in a later post, fake terrorist/genuine stalker Walid Shoebat, car loan fraud perpetrator Scamela Geller (who has two murders in her path), and assorted other malefactors); and Remember, as I’ve noted many times before, that the 9/11 attacks were the best public relations move ever by Muslims, who got America, its leaders, pop culture, and other American societal forces to bend over backward (and forward) for Islam, Muslims, their intolerance, and their regressive, backward ways. And got them to make American less safe than we were on 9/10/01.

Remember also that 12 years later, Ground Zero is still not rebuilt. One World Trade Center isn’t even complete and won’t be until next year. So much for “showing them.” Nope, they showed us and continue to have the last laugh. Instead, what we have to show for this is thousands of American lives and limbs lost because President Bush wanted to hand a Sunni country (Iraq) over to Shi’ites (Iran). And thousands more American lives and limbs given in the service of building roads and handing out candy in Afghanistan, per President Bush’s demand. And then there is the Arab Spring democracy BS that further destabilized the Middle East and gave Al-Qaeda and extremist Muslims (a redundant phrase) free reign. It was begun by Bush with his push for “democratic elections” in Gaza, Iraq, and Lebanon, which as a result became HAMASastan, an Iranian satellite state, and Hezbollahstan–another Iranian satellite state. It was continued with Barack Obama’s pushes in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Syria, using American pressure, support, money, weaponry, and CIA advisors. This is how we responded to 9/11. If we did this during World War II, the whole world would be saluting Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo.

I detest those who say today is a “national day of service,” but won’t say why or who made today a day of solemn mourning as it should be for nearly 3,000 Americans who were mass-murdered on our soil. Those who say we should “remember” 9/11, but who skip over the part about WHO DID IT and WHO CELEBRATED IT, are not remembering it at all. The 9/11 attacks were not committed by ghosts or the invisible man. They were not perpetrated by Fijians or Samoans or Wiccans. And those same groups didn’t celebrate the attacks. Nope, it was one group, with 1.8 billion adherents worldwide that did both the mass murder and the celebrating afterword. If you won’t admit that, you aren’t remembering a thing. You’re in fantasyland (and not the kind with the 72 re-virginized).

So here are the other main things you must remember on this and every 9/11 anniversary and every other day . . .

* REMEMBER WHO WAS MURDERED & DIED ON THAT DAY:

Nearly 3,000 innocent people targeted and murdered in cold blood because they were Americans. People like my cousin, Jon Schlissel, who heroically went back to his office to save someone who needed help getting out. The Muslims who died that day were collateral damage and not the target of the Muslims who perpetrated the attacks. Clearly, their deaths meant nothing to their fellow Muslims around the world, who cheered the attacks, passed out candy, danced in the streets, and let out their stupid hyena-like, “lalalalalalahs.” The deaths of these Muslims are important to them and the mainstream media only for politically correct public relations purposes.

Back in May, I told you about Syrian Rebels’–Barack Obama’s and John McCain’s preferred Syrian Islamic terrorists’–martyrdom wishes to kill as many Christians as possible before they die. Below is a funeral announcement for the Christians murdered by Obama’s preferred Syrian Islamic terrorists over the weekend in the City of Ma’loula (also spelled Maaloula and assorted other transliterated ways). The men who were killed are, from left to right, Sarkis Habib Al-Zekhem, Anton Londios Taeleb, and Mikhail Matanios Taeleb, who was a father of three.

The announcement notes the names of their grieving loved ones and calls them “Martyrs of [the Christian] Faith.” It says, “Whoever believes in me [Jesus] will live again,” and notes that the men were “martyred at the hands of treachery and criminality in defense of their town, Ma’loula, Saturday September 7th, fulfilling their religious duty.” It notes that they were Roman Catholic and announces the date and time of their funeral.

Dunkin’ Donuts is one of many corporations that uses E-Verify to make sure its employees are not illegal aliens, and it insists that its franchisees do the same. But that’s not the case for many of its “mom-and-pop” competitors, who not only employ illegal aliens but take all sorts of other illegal actions to cover it up. That’s the case with Kim Hout Lor and Bun Vireak Long, who were arrested today by federal authorities for witness tampering on top of the fact that they employed and underpaid illegal aliens at their “Pat’s Donuts, Kolaches, & Tacos” shop. Note that these two were only charged in the first place with underpaying their employees, not with knowingly hiring and employing illegals, which they did.

HOUSTON—Kim Hout Lor, 66, and Bun Vireak Long, 19, have been taken into custody on charges of tampering with witnesses in a pending official proceeding, announced United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson today. Lor is also charged with making false statements. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve always loved the work of comedian Tom Mabe, who should be far more famous than he is. This is one of my faves of his many very funny prank call videos. It’s short and sweet, and a great end of weekend laugh.

That ain’t hittin’ no nuttin’.

I did not have time to finish my movie reviews before the start of the Jewish holiday of Rosh HaShanah, so they are up later. Sorry for that. Among the new selections at movie theaters, this weekend, there’s one great choice, and the rest are a waste of time. I did not see “Riddick,” as the screening conflicted with Rosh HaShanah.

* “Still Mine“: This is a fabulous movie, one of the best I’ve seen all year. James Cromwell–a far lefty actor–ironically plays a man fighting big government in this Canadian-government-funded movie based on a true story. And along with it, there is also a love story. Cromwell portrays Craig Morrison, an 80-something farmer in New Brunswick, whose wife, Irene (Genevieve Bujold), is beginning to experience dementia. Read the rest of this entry »
