Over the years, I’ve told you that the United States does NOT track visa holders who come to this country, even though they are a large segment (nearly half) of those who eventually become illegal aliens on our soil. Once they are here we have no idea where they go, with whom they meet, whether or not they abided by the conditions of their visas, or if they are still here and have overstayed. If and when immigration amnesty happens, whether it’s Obama’s plan or Marco Rubio’s Senate Gangbang of Eight Plan, we will not only not have secure borders (contrary to Rubio’s claims), we will continue to allow visitors to the U.S. and let them stay here forever, without ever making sure they go home. And so the illegal alien problem will not end. Today’s Wall Street Journal, in “U.S. Struggles to Nab Visitors that Overstay,” reports that the problem has not only gotten worse, but that Marco Rubio and his Senate Gangbang of Eight’s immigration amnesty package does NOT address the problem and will NOT track visa holders once they get here (and, as is often the case, choose to never leave).

More than 150 million non-U.S. citizens legally entered the United States per year in each of the last five years for which data are available. Shouldn’t we track whether or not they leave? We don’t. And Rubio’s bill won’t change that.

The same thing was promised in 1996 with the last immigration amnesty which was implemented, and it didn’t materialize, as I reported back in 2003, when I noted that Michigan’s Lebanese Arab Republican U.S. Senator Spencer Abraham blocked visa-tracking efforts at the behest of pro-Hezbollah/HAMAS Jim Zogby and his Arab-American Institute: Read the rest of this entry »

As I’ve always said, the worst enemies of the Jews are the Jews. Far-left Jews, liberal Jews, and any other Jews who have a desire to display self-loathing, self-hatred, and flat-out anti-Semitism. And, in that same vein, the worst enemy of Israel is usually . . . Israel. So it goes with Israel’s decision to do two absurd things: 1) give anti-Israel, pro-HAMAS Turkey the equipment to strengthen the abilities of Turkey’s AWACS planes, and 2) give Barack Obama some silly, completely false, and undeserved award. The latter, the award to Obama, is predictable, though, because it’s being given out by Israel’s biggest enemy from within: far-left, warmed over President Shimon Peres, the non-brains behind the Oslo Accords and other suicidal moves by Israel. As I’ve told you, time and again, the guy is a disaster and a perpetual schmuck to Israel.

First, there’s the more harmful of the two moves by Israel–the AWACS enabling. Not sure why any nation on earth would deliver the equipment for its elimination to its enemy (but, hey, we do it in the U.S. all the time). This is the country, after all, that sponsored the HAMAS Gaza terrorist flotilla.

Israel . . . has finally agreed to send additional electronic systems to Turkey, which will integrate those systems into its Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) military aircraft purchased from the US. Israeli company IAI-Elta is manufacturing the electronic support system for the four aircraft, with the cost of the project amounting to $25 million. Read the rest of this entry »

On Friday, the gourmet supermarket near where I live (not Whole Foods, in which I haven’t set foot since I discovered that Whole Foods is Whole HAMAS Foods) was giving out free package samples of Ziggy Marley Organics “Ziggy Marley’s Hemp Rules Roasted Hempseeds Organic Caribbean Crunch — 6 oz” (and they also gave out his flavored coconut cooking oil, which is good stuff). It’s kosher and everything, and I want to try the seeds as a snack, but I have visions of having to suddenly take an impromptu drug test, and I wonder: will roasted hemp seeds make me test positive for pot? I’ve never tried marijuana–not even once–in my entire life (or any other illegal drug). And I’m proud of that.

Whenever I hear the word, “hemp,” I think of Sean Penn’s Jeff Spicoli from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” or some other similarly greasy-locked loser lecturing the wind on the benefits of hemp in fabric and paper and organic cashmere Q-tips while I’m thinking, “Yeah, vacant one, you keep tellin’ yourself that. I’ll stick with cotton.” We all know that hemp is the term for the illegal cannabis plants from which marijuana grows. And hemp is still illegal, despite Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell wasting precious time and resources to legalize it. So I wonder, even if there is no active illegal drug content, would my tasting of these seeds leave a trace of cannabis stuff in my system? It’s not that I’m worried about taking a drug test tomorrow. It’s that really good places might take a strand of my long hair some months from now and be able to detect that I ate these seeds . . . except that they’ll come up as some illegal toking or meddled-with brownies, not some seeds I was given at the store.

Am I silly to be worried if I try the seeds? Read the rest of this entry »

While we often cite the 3,000 victims of Islamic terrorists on 9/11, we usually forget that one of their victims may have included the murdered DMV employee who helped the hijackers obtain fake IDs. We know that several Middle Eastern Muslim men paid Katherine Smith, a Memphis DMV worker to provide fake Tennessee driver’s licenses. Supposedly, she sold fake IDs to five of the 9/11 hijackers. We also know that her body was found burned to death in her car, after it had been doused by gasoline, on an empty stretch of highway. Her murder was never solved, and it’s believed that she was eliminated before she had a chance to finger anyone (perhaps someone helping the 9/11 hijackers) and before she could testify at the trial of another Muslim man who’d paid her for fake identification. Now, there is Khalif Abdullah Ali, devout Muslim and former Pennsylvania DMV supervisor who is, unfortunately, still with us.

Ali provided fake IDs to third parties. Pennsylvania authorities aren’t telling us who those third parties are. Take a guess why not. Oh, and by the way, they don’t even know the identities of everyone with Mr. Ali’s fraudulently obtained driver’s licenses.

A former supervisor at the driver’s license center in Malvern was convicted this week for creating authentic driver’s licenses for wanted fugitives, according to the Chester County District Attorney’s Office.

Khalif Abdullah Ali, 44, was convicted on charges of identity theft, tampering with public records, computer trespass, and related charges. Ali was arrested last March for working with wanted criminals to help them obtain driver’s licenses using identity information of other members of the public. . . . Read the rest of this entry »

All of these movies debuted in theaters yesterday, on Valentine’s Day. Sorry I didn’t get my reviews up earlier, but I had other stuff going on, and most of you, my readers, go out to the movies on the weekends, not on week nights. Ironically the “best” of the bunch is the warmed over ’80s action stuff.

* “A Good Day to Die Hard“: This isn’t a great movie. It’s not even the greatest of the five “Die Hard” incarnations. I liked the last Die Hard flick a lot and a lot better than this (read my review). But, still, this is exactly what you expect from this kind of thing, and in that it doesn’t disappoint, even if the stunts are completely unbelievable and the story and plot are lightweight if even existent. It’s non-stop, mindless action, car chases, shooting, and other stuff you’ve come to know from the Die Hard genre, and in that it delivers what it promises. It’s also not boring, not even for a second.

Bruce Willis, as New York cop John McClane, learns that his now grown son (with whom he is not close and from whom he hasn’t heard in years), played by Jai Courtney, is facing the death penalty in a Russian prison where he is incarcerated for murder. McClane takes his vacation days and travels to Russia to save his son. The entire movie takes place in Moscow and Chernobyl. Soon, McClane learns that his son is actually a CIA agent and set himself up in the prison to get a man out who has access to uranium (or plutonium, I forget which). They are trying to avoid and escape some Russian gangster types. Read the rest of this entry »

During the Presidential race of the last two years, I laughed every time some Tea Partier or so-called conservative blindly gushed over Donald Trump and lectured me that he should be the Republican nominee because he knows how to run a “successful business.” I wondered if these people ever read a paper or ingest a single iota of info beyond propaganda and talking points. Aside from the fact that Trump has no ideology or principles to speak of (other than “Look at me and my Saddam Hussein Palace-style apartment!”), the guy is a failure as a businessman. Most of his businesses–other than his self-promoting, boring “The Apprentice”–are failures.

The guy is only still in business because, at one time, he was “too big to fail.” Those gushing over Trump forget that at one time he was the world’s largest debtor. He was going to file for bankruptcy, but his creditors would lose so much, they couldn’t afford to let that happen. Instead, they put him on a budget of “only” $400,000 a month and tried to put things back in order, which isn’t exactly what happened. But they were left holding the bag, and Trump was laughing all the way to the bank. And this is aside from the fact that Trump’s father gave him $100,000 to start his business empire, at a time when that was real money and equivalent to a million dollars today (or more).

Now, it’s the same with his latest embarrassing failure: the sale of his Trump Plaza casino and hotel in Atlantic City at a discount of 90% from the $210 million it cost to build back in 1984. In today’s dollars versus 1984 dollars, the discount is more like 98% off. Normally, a casino like that should be worth more than a billion, maybe even multi-billions. But Trump ran it . . . into the ground. Read the rest of this entry »

You’ve probably seen the buzz about model Kate Upton’s mostly topless Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover photo, with the magazine on stands this week. Sadly, there’s not such publicity about what her effeminate, closeted, pan-jihadist uncle, the wimpy “Republican” (In Name Only!) Michigan Congressman Fred Upton, did to help an Islamic terrorist remain free on U.S. soil. Upton, heir to the Whirlpool corporation fortune, refuses to let Homeland Security deport a man who trained in an Islamic terrorist training camp.

In 2005, I first told you about Ibrahim Parlak, the Middle Eastern restaurateur and Islamic terrorist, who lied five times on various government documents, in order to get asylum and a green card. Over the years, I’ve told you about Parlak, who trained in a Syrian terrorist training camp and was responsible for the death of a Turkish border guard as a member of the PKK Kurdish terrorist group (not all Kurds are the good guys, even if many are). Because I’ve written about him, Parlak has e-mailed me trying to intimidate me. Parlak’s lawyer, Palestinian Muslim Noel Saleh, is an admitted, proud donor to Hezbollah, and he headed a Muslim-dominated Arab welfare agency that aids and abets Muslim illegal aliens to come here, stay here, and commit Medicaid fraud. Despite Parlak’s many appeals, several judges reaffirmed that he is a terrorist and should be deported. But that won’t happen . . . not because of Barack Obama (and George W. Bush before him), but because of Fred Upton, uncle to Kate. Read the rest of this entry »

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE: Apparently (and surprisingly) Rand Paul acquired some guts on this. See below. ****

I’m having a good laugh at the pretentious Drudge Report and so-called conservative websites who think they have some kind of scoop because they recently demanded videos of anti-Israel, anti-Semitic Obama Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel’s speeches to the Arab American Institute (AAI, where he went on behalf of John McCain) and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Those who think they have some sort of meaningful scoop on this old news, include Breitfraud whose moronic editor Joel Pollak is in love with anti-Israel Nelson Mandela and claims pro-Palestinian Mandela “loves Israel” because the mother of Pollak’s quickie convert South African wife worked for Jew-hating Mandela, so he won’t tell the truth; the Washington Free Beacon’s idiotette Alana Goodman, who told us for the last two years–while she worked at Commentary–that we should all gush over the Egyptian democracy bullcrap and praise Obama for helping depose Mubarak; and the pan-Muslim Republican Jewish Coalition’s paid whore, Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post. In fact, I went undercover to some of those events and heard Chuck Hagel speak in person. As I noted on this site, months ago, Hagel did, in fact, attack Israel and “the Jewish lobby” at the Arab American Institute events (he spoke at several in the Detroit area). I know because I was there (at least for some of his speeches). But it’s not news, though Politico’s whitewash of it is inaccurate, since Politico only viewed one video of one such speech to Arab groups. Hagel made several such speeches. Flashback from my December 14, 2012 column:

Over the years, I’ve watched Hagel become a favored figure on the Arab Muslim lecture circuit. I’ve seen him speak at many organizations that openly support Hezbollah and HAMAS. And I’ve seen him viciously attack Israel to those Arab groups in a way only a Jew-hater can. . . . As you know, John McCain ran for President several times. When he ran against then-Governor George W. Bush in 2000, I gave McCain kudos for refusing to appear at the pro-Hezbollah/HAMAS Arab American Institute’s (AAI) political conference in Dearbornistan (both George W. Bush and Al Gore sent slobbering Islamo-panderers to the confab). But his good friend, Senator Hagel, was a proud participant at the conference. The things he said about Jewish political power and Israel were the kind of things you’d hear at a Klan rally . . . or a mosque. And later on, as McCain was gearing to run for President again, he sent Hagel to the AAI event as his representative.

Also, not news is that Hagel is anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and the like. The video won’t have any new stuff that’s different from what’s already been said, and wimpy Republican Senators with loud barks and zero bite (like Lindsey Graham who promised to block the Hagel nomination over Benghazi on Sunday, but did no such thing) don’t care. I mean, when Hagel “corrected” himself at his clumsy Senate confirmation hearing, saying he misspoke about attacking “the Jewish lobby” (something I noted, months ago, that he’d said at speeches I attended) and that he really meant “the pro-Israel lobby,” did you hear a single Senator object to his silly “correction”? I didn’t. In fact, what he was saying was the same euphemistic double-speak anti-Semites in the neo-Nazi and Islamic crowds always use. They say, “the evil Zionists,” instead of “the dirty Jews.” Same difference. We know what they mean. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey, did you know today is Valentine’s Day, or as we more accurately call it on this website, “DREAD” — Doghouse Risk Extra-Avoidance Day (for men only)? Unless you’ve been living inside a mushroom or on another planet, you can’t avoid it, as the mainstream media and every store and related business around America promote this fake holiday endlessly. I’ve written about this many times over the years, but it bears repeating: today is not about romance. It’s about obligation–the obligation of men to rush to CVS or Walgreen’s after work, today, and buy their wives or girlfriends (or both, in some cases) cards, candy, chocolates and/or roses. If they don’t, they’re in the doghouse (the chicks have no such strongly implied obligation), and in many cases they dread this chore.

And today is primarily about avoiding the doghouse. Regardless of the fact that many of these men work every day to support their families (or, in far too many cases, are stuck at home playing Mr. Mom), none of that counts if they don’t bring home something nice today . . . because Hallmark and Kay Jewelers and florists and candy makers and FOX News and “Good Morning America” said so. Even Google, if you visit the search engine today, has some very weird, creepy animal romance cartoons (looks like they got a tip from the sickos’ Valentine’s Day animal sex dinner at the Detroit Zoo) in place of its usual logo, which reminds me of the depraved “interspecies erotica” alluded to in the disgusting Clerks II (read my review).

Here’s an excerpt from one of my previous DREAD columns–it never changes:

Anyone who confuses what Hallmark tells you to do–and the expectations of females who don’t appreciate your hard work and caring 364 other days of the year–with love doesn’t know what the word means. Today is something you gotta do to stay out of the doghouse. It’s not something you chose to do. It’s an expectation you must meet or meet that fury far beyond what’s in store in hell, as the saying goes. Read the rest of this entry »

Seven years ago today, on February 13, 2006, Ilan Halimi, a 17-year-old French Jew, died after he was dumped on railroad tracks by a Muslim gang. He could no longer survive after his fingers and toes were cut off, he was repeatedly stabbed, his testicles were repeatedly beaten, his flesh, including his face, was subject to the flames of lighters and cigarette burns, and he was forced to endure other such torture. While he was still alive, his kidnapper-murderers called his parents on his cellphone and made them listen to his pained screams. His crime: he was a Jew. As federal elected officials from both parties get ready to foist upon us a “path to citizenship” and amnesty for 30 million aliens, ask yourself how many of those are no different than the Muslim immigrants who brutally murdered Ilan Halimi.

The answer: far too many. What happened to Ilan Halimi could happen here. It will happen here. It’s already happened here, though not in the exact characteristics. But we know that Fort Hood happened here at the hands of a Muslim Palestinian immigrant who was raised here and given every break, with even his medical school education funded by America. We know that the New York Times bombing nearly happened here at the hands of a Muslim Pakistani immigrant. And we know that 9/11 happened here at the hands of 19 Muslim immigrants. Some of them were here legally. None of them had any sense of the “American dream” Marco Rubio told us, last night, that immigrants have. All of them, though, had a jihadist dream which they tried hard to realize. Sadly, some of them were successful.

Ilan Halimi’s family, like many Jews in France, came from an Arab Muslim nation in North Africa. They came to France to escape the persecution of Arab Muslims and their hatred for Jews. Unfortunately, an escape to a Western nation is no longer a shield from that. That includes the United States. Read the rest of this entry »
