As you likely know, liberal Democrat Congressman Eric Massa, who resigned last week, first said it was because of cancer, then because he had a shower scene with Rahm Emanuel, and now admits he “tickled” rather than groped male staffers.  Because, you know, tickling male staffers until they can’t breathe and jumping on top of them is normal behavior for any boss.  And since it is, here are a few pointers and guidelines for the former Congressman and others who choose to emulate him.  Tickle v. Grope, that is the question . . .

Tickle Me Eric

Was TSA employee Douglas James Duchak working for Islamic terrorists?

It’s a major national security breach.  But it’s getting almost no media coverage outside of Colorado and a few techie sites.

In October, Duchak, a TSA analyst in Colorado Springs, sent a virus into federal government computers to disable the databases containing information about terrorists–specifically, the no-fly list–and U. S. Marshal warrants.  Why did he do this?  Well, a week earlier, he learned his TSA employment was being terminated.  But that could be a red herring.  You don’t try to disable these systems and risk your freedom, just because you lost your job.  Or would you?

It sounds like Duchak may have been working for someone.  If so, the question is, for whom?  Obviously the feds believe some sort of terrorist group may be involved or the FBI–the lead agency investigating terrorism–wouldn’t be on the case.  And, it sounds to me, like Duchak was trying to allow a terrorist or terrorists for whom there may have been an arrest warrant, to fly into the U.S. and needed to do it before his job ended.  If so, who was the terrorist(s)?  And if there wasn’t one, why else would Duchak specifically target those databases and risk going to jail?  He was surely going to be caught, as he was.  Is it really possible that he was just a disgruntled employee who was notified a week earlier that his job would be terminated, and decided to sabotage the system?  I don’t think so.

Earlier this week, Duchak was indicted.  Read the indictment here.  The indictment is brief and says very little.  And I believe there’s a lot to this story we’re not being told.

Last week, I told you about a student visa fraud ring run by two women out of their Florida Language Institute school, which was merely a front for illegal aliens to get into the country and disappear.

ICE Agents w/ Visa Fraud Perpetrator Eamonn Daniel Higgins

Student Visa Fraud Perpetrator Higgins Used These Fake Driver’s Licenses to Pose as Mid-East Muslims

The same goes for the operation run by Eamonn Daniel Higgins.  But he was far more clever.  Higgins was paid by Middle Easterners (read:  Muslims) to attend classes and take tests for these no-show illegal aliens and student visa defrauders. So sad to see how willing these people are to sell America out.

Kudos to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents that worked this investigation and and the local Northern California cops who discovered the clever scheme, which began not long after 9/11. ICE says it caught many of the visa fraud criminals. Of more than 100 who participated in the fraud, only 47 are still in America, and ICE arrested some of them. The question is, where are the rest of the 47 no-show Muslim visa fraud perpetrators who are still free and have disappeared into the great American abyss? Why did they come here and what are they up to?

An Orange County man surrendered to federal authorities Monday morning after being charged with conspiracy for allegedly orchestrating a visa fraud scheme involving dozens of foreign students enrolled at institutions throughout Southern California, including several junior colleges and three California State University campuses.

Longtime readers know I’m a fan of Anthony “Tony” Barbieri a/k/a “Jake Byrd,” the comedian and writer from “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”  This isn’t his funniest stuff and some of it’s kind of juvenile, but it’s still hilarious.  Don’t you just love how annoying attorney-harlot Gloria Allred brings her client, Tiger Woods’ porn star girlfriend, as her “plus one”?  Tacky, tacky, tacky (but not as tacky as those over-inflated basketballs she had surgically attached to her small frame).

Check out the other hilarious Jake Byrd videos here, including the his hilarious interruptions at an Obamacare rally.

From the beginning, I’ve been writing about deposed, federally-convicted Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers.  Whether it was her infantile tirades at City Hall during City Council meetings or her fights with hotel security and police because she didn’t like her suite at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, I’ve told you about this embarrassment who is married to far-left Congressman John Conyers.

Today, Monica Conyers was sentenced to just over three years in prison for accepting at least $69,000 in bribes she solicited from various parties, including Synagro, who bought her votes or other forms of advocacy.  But Conyers isn’t happy with the lax sentence and now says she wants to withdraw her plea, but the judge won’t let her.  So, she’s appealing.  Good luck with that.

The thing is, while Mrs. Conyers will do time in the slammer, her husband–who reversed his positions on contracts in Detroit after she accepted the bribes and intervened on behalf of the bribers–isn’t at all touched by this scandal.  And you have to ask  yourself why?  The investigation began under the Bush administration and is finishing up under Obama.  But neither Justice Department seems to want to pursue the America-hating Congressman.  Why?

What did John Conyers know and when did he know it?  If this were any other political couple, would hubby get away with it?  Don’t bet on it.

Watch this flashback video to remember the, um, “good time” of Monica Conyers . . .

If the name Eliza Dushku sounds familiar, you may know of her from her past TV series, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “Angel” or her recently canceled series, “Dollhouse.”  Her career is clearly “taking off” since she’s been cast in the upcoming novel idea, “Ghostbusters III.”  (Come on, Hollywood, come up with something original.)

Beautiful Airhead, Yarmulke-Clad Airhead, Both Need Drink of STFU

But, now, I know her as an anti-Israel segregationist, who believes Jews have no right to live in certain parts of town.  Yesterday, from her Twitter account, Dushku tweeted to her more than 500,000 followers that she agreed with Vice President Joe Biden’s boneheaded comment attacking Israel for building 1600 apartments in Jerusalem, which has been a Jewish city for thousands of years.  I don’t know where in Hollywood or elsewhere the airheaded Ms. Dushku lives, but I wonder how she’d like it if we said that Mormons (she was raised a Mormon) or those of Albanian descent (which she also is) are not allowed to live there because Islamic terrorists don’t like it.  (I guess she’s unaware that in Albania, Christians have been largely driven out and attacked by Muslims.  Or, perhaps, she supports that redlining, too.)

Here’s her Tweet and the very appropriate smackdown responses:

Regardless of who next occupies the California gubernatorial seat, I’m betting the state will be better off than with the current occupant.  Still, I hope the comedy gold he keeps contributing will continue after he leaves office.  Comedy like this . . .

No “Rainbow”

By Debbie Schlussel

Over the weekend, when loony liberal Democrat Congressman Eric Massa’s claims about Rahm Emanuel naked and poking him in the shower came out, I didn’t jump on the allegations.  That’s because I didn’t believe him.

Dem Congressman Eric Massa’s Shower: Fantasy v. Reality

You see, Massa had already claimed he was resigning because of a recurrence of cancer, not alleged sexual harassment of male staffers and a resulting ethics investigation, he insisted.  Then, he did a 180 and claimed it was naked Rahm badgering him to vote for Obamacare.  But, on Friday, a commenter on this site had already alerted us to the allegations about Massa that are pretty telling, even if a fraction of them are true.  The allegations appear on the website of Rochester, New York journalist and radio talk show host Bob Lonsberry, who has won awards from AP, etc.  Here’s just a sliver of the Massa creepiness he alleges (which definitely gives credence to some of the arguments against gays in the military):

During his Navy career, Eric Massa allegedly touched at least two men inappropriately and may have exhibited a pattern of putting himself in situations where he would see men naked – particularly younger and lower-ranked men.

Kudos to ABC News and its reporter, Chris Bury, for this.  I think they did a GREAT job exposing these nuts in the 9/11 Truther movement (and stressing the link between them and John Patrick Bedell, the Pentagon shooter).  Not that we didn’t already know.  But terrific job by the mainstream media, and Bury really covered all of the bases, including Jesse Ventura, Debra Medina, and Van Jones (he only missed Ron Paul).  This report ran on “Nightline,” Monday Night. So disappointed in former FBI agent Colleen Rowley. What a dud she turned out to be. So sad.

“9/11 Was an Islam Job” Graphic By Reader Doda McCheesle

By Debbie Schlussel

After 9/11, I warned of Islamic women involved in terrorist activity, not just in the Middle East, but on U.S. soil.  One of those is Colleen R. LaRose a/k/a “Fatima LaRose” a/k/a “Jihad Jane,” who recruited men over the internet for Islamic terrorism. She traveled to Europe, planning to carry out an “assignment” to murder a Swiss citizen in a way that would “shock” the non-Muslim world.

Read the indictment, unsealed yesterday. Note that, while today’s press release from the Justice Department, key portions of which are cited below, doesn’t say a thing about Islam or jihad or Allah, the indictment is replete with references to these. In fact, Ms. LaRose repeatedly says she desperately wants to do something for the “suffering Muslim people” and “in the name of Allah.” Funny how Eric Holder’s people left that out.  She also lied to the FBI and tried to knowingly transfer a U.S. passport that she stole from someone else.

Note also that neither the press release nor the indictment says how Ms. LaRose came to Islam, to which it appears she converted or much about her and her associates or with which Islamic terrorist group she was affiliated.

Colleen R. LaRose, aka “Fatima LaRose,” aka “Jihad Jane” [was charged in the indictment] with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making false statements to a government official and attempted identity theft.
