Over the weekend, I read one of the most awful, depressing, stupid, waste of time books I’ve ever made the mistake of reading:  “Where the God of Love Hangs Out,” by best-selling author and short story writer Amy Bloom, given to me as a gift (why, I don’t know).   Yeah, I know–the title gave it away.  Total dreck–the typical crap far too many women are reading, these days.  It’s amazing this woman teaches writing at Yale, or maybe not so amazing–since colleges love to seek out New Age psychobabblers like Bloom. Believe me, nothing you can say about this will make me think less of myself for making the mistake of reading it than I already do. Yuck.

And the woman is a uber-liberal whose villains are Republicans, NRA members, etc.  You get the picture.  What a mistake.  (Thankfully, I also got in a fun hike through beautiful, snow-covered wooded areas near where I live, which made up for it.)

The reason I’m bringing this up is that, in the book, she uses the word, “negritude, ” which essentially means pride in one’s Blackness.

“Game of Pharaohs [DS: chess],” William says. The kid must study Egypt. Mummies and Cleopatra’s negritude and the pyramids are what pass for history now.

**** UPDATE: Read MORE Great Martin Luther King, Jr. Pro-Israel Quotes on Israel From a 1968 Speech ****

Muslims are good at hijacking.  They hijack planes.  They love to claim fellow co-religionists are “hijacking” their religion (when in reality their religion is hijacking them and the people on the planes).  And they love to hijack icons and beloved personalities.  That includes, in no small way, Martin Luther King, Jr.  But as I always note, King was expressly against what they stand for, this religion of hijackers.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Was Down w/the Jewish, Israeli Struggle, NOT the Muslim One

Yes, today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  And every  year on this day, more and more extremist Muslims try to hijack the pro-Israel, Philo-Semitic King’s memory and civil rights fight to further their own extremism, refusal to be absorbed into American society, their support for Islamic terrorism, their wish to destroy Israel, and their not-so-latent anti-Semitism.

For several years, I’ve been documenting some of the many rapes, kidnappings, tortures, and murders perpetrated on Americans by a growing wave of Muslim immigrants from Somalia on our shores.  Somalians–all of ’em Muslim–can easily get asylum here, and the Obama administration made it even easier.  And they’ve brought their Third World “values” (or, rather, lack of any) here without compromise.

Mahad Ali Hassan, who murdered one of his neighbors in a fire, is yet the latest blip in an ever-growing Somalian Muslim crime spree that continues to expand and grow in America.  The man he murdered was burned so badly, dental records had to be consulted to identify him.  Yup, arson–that’s how Muslims from Somalia (and now in America) resolve disputes with two female neighbors.

An irate taxi driver involved in a long-running dispute with two neighbors intentionally set fire to a Rogers Park apartment building, killing one person and injuring five others, prosecutors said.

Is it a positive omen for Scott Brown in Massachusetts?  Over the weekend, conservative billionaire Sebastian Pinera won the Chilean Presidency in a rebuke of the far-left politics of its outgoing uber-liberal President Michelle Bachelet.  It’s a stunning, yet singular, defeat for the South American left in power throughout.

Victoria!: Chile’s New Conservative El Presidente, Sebastian Pinera

Pinera’s election, yesterday, is important, notable, and historic because he’s the first freely-elected conservative elected in that country since the 1950s.  It’s a welcome change to the far-left politics that has taken over South and Central America for the last decade, largely because the Bush Administration looked the other way and allowed Commies like Daniel Ortega to retake power through free elections and doing nothing when Iran-allied dictators like Hugo Chavez were “elected” in fraudulent, irregularity-marred elections in their countries.

I’ve followed what’s going on in Latin America (including here and here, among many other items I’ve written on it) because it is, after all, our own hemisphere and a little close to home.  There’s a reason Ronald Reagan fought so hard to depose Ortega and his Palestinian training camps from atop Nicaragua.

Not paying attention is Michelle Fraudkin.  I had a nice chuckle, this morning, when I was in the shower listening to Chicago’s WLS-AM morning show, and suddenly she came on to discuss the Scott Brown-Martha Coakley race, and was asked about the Pinera election in Chile.  The ignorant Malkin responded with a long, “Um,” then an even longer silence as she tried to think of how to fake her uninformed, well-coached self out of this one.  I haven’t heard that much dead air on the radio in a long time.  Then, finally, as the radio show hosts listened, she had to respond, “Um, I’m not familiar with that.”

You heard it here first . . . over four months ago, to be exact.  I’m talking about the “news” about PAWNN–the Prince Al-Waleed News Network a/k/a FOX News Channel and its parent company, in which he (Saudi billionaire Prince AlWaleed) is the second largest stakeholder, News Corp. It’s a story I exposed back in early September, that the mainstream media is finally discovering, as if it’s now news.

Rupert Murdoch + Prince AlWaleed = PAWNN

Over the weekend, a number of readers sent me AP and other news stories about Saudi billionaire Prince AlWaleed Bin Talal Al-Saud’s interest in increasing his stakes in News Corp, the parent of FOX News Channel, FOX, the New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal, among other properties.  The article also discussed the new relationship between News Corp and Prince AlWaleed’s Rotana Media, as well as his Kingdom Holding Co.  But as with all stale news that’s older than mold, because Drudge picked it up as a headline, yet even more readers sent it to me.

But this is a story I wrote back in September, four months before Al-Associated Press noticed.

. . . Lt. Col. Scott Brown.  Read it and weep, Coakley fools.  Pigs are flyin’.  While most of the endorsement is terrific, there are a few troubling parts, most notably this:

In an editorial board meeting with the Cape Cod Times earlier this week, Brown was critical of President Bush and defended President Obama regarding the current financial crisis.

Ted Kennedy’s Paper Endorses Lt. Col. Scott Brown

Still, I’d vote for Scott Brown in a heartbeat. Hopefully that’s the only downside. But, hey, it’s the People’s Republic of Dukakis Happens.  So he’s waaaaay better than what usually emanates from the state that houses Harvard Hates America University.  And head and shoulders about Martha Coakley. It’s not that the endorsement will sway votes (few endorsements do these days, especially from newspapers), or that the paper has a significant audience–it’s readership is small. It’s the significance that Teddy Kennedy’s paper is now endorsing what is, relatively speaking, essentially a conservative Republican candidate.

If you have any friends who live in Massachusetts, I hope you’ll send them the link to this terrific, heartbreaking article by my friend, Wall Street Journal editorial board member and author Dorothy Rabinowitz, about how Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate Martha Coakley destroyed a family and sent them to prison when she knew the whole case was phony.

Martha Coakley:

She Destroyed the Amirault Family; Only Worried About Gitmo Terrorists

And send it to your friends before Tuesday’s special election for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat.  It’s so important that you send it to friends who were planning on not voting Tuesday or who were planning to vote for anyone other than Scott Brown (a vote for the libertarian candidate, Joe Kennedy, will help elect this witch Coakley).

As you may know, Dorothy, who does great investigative reporting, has been on the case of the outrageous, trumped up prosecution of the Amirault Family of Massachusetts and has exposed it as baseless in her reporting over the last three decades.  The Amiraults–hard-working, successful people who busted their asses to get off of welfare and make something of themselves–were sent to prison on ridiculous, phony, coached child molestation charges, without a shred of evidence.  And Martha Coakley, as a prosecutor, was chief among those who destroyed that innocent family.

An excerpt:

What does this say about her candidacy? (Ms. Coakley declined to be interviewed.) If the current attorney general of Massachusetts actually believes, as no serious citizen does, the preposterous charges that caused the Amiraults to be thrown into prison—the butcher knife rape with no blood, the public tree-tying episode, the mutilated squirrel and the rest—that is powerful testimony to the mind and capacities of this aspirant to a Senate seat. It is little short of wonderful to hear now of Ms. Coakley’s concern for the rights of terror suspects at Guantanamo—her urgent call for the protection of the right to the presumption of innocence.

Nothing really bad at the box office, and with the exception of “The Book of Eli” (which is pretty good) nothing really great.  The screening of “The Spy Next Door” was on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, so I couldn’t attend that.  But out of dedication to you, my dear readers, I went to the Midnight screening, last night, to check it out so I could review it for you.  As always, you can listen to my reviews on “The Mike Church Show” on the Sirius Patriot Channel 144, every Friday Morning after 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Here’s the rundown:

*  “The Book of Eli“:  This is yet another doomsday movie, but it’s a pretty good one.  It’s part morality tale, part action hero movie. Beware, though, it’s very bloody, a few scenes of graphic dismembering, and several killings, as well as at least one attempted rape.  It’s good to see a movie coming out of Hollywood, where the religious man–the righteous and moral man–is the hero, the good guy.  It’s also good to see the Bible respected.  Not the usual Hollywood scheme.  The bad guys are actually the bad guys here.

Jay Leno is now the late night talk show host we all love to hate (and some of us loved to hate him before the current ado about nothing–nothing relevant to non-gazillionaires, anyway).  My fave late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, appeared on Leno’s show the other night and really ripped him good.  It’s entertaining.  Watch . . .

With much of Haiti in ruins after this week’s devastating 7.0 earthquake, I can understand why some U.S. lawmakers want to halt the deportation of Haitian illegal aliens in our midst.  We’d look–and would be–heartless to deport 30,000 people back to the island dominated by destruction.

Haitian Aliens Trying to Sneak Into U.S.

That said, there must be strict limits, and sadly, the handwriting’s on the wall that ultimately there won’t be.  There are many downtrodden, disaster-stricken countries around the world to which we deport illegal aliens on a regular basis.  And for how long do we allow these illegal aliens–some of them in tax-funded shelters and detention centers–to remain on our soil.  After six months, there should be enough rebuilding–with the inpouring of international help–that the deportations should resume.

But liberal American lawmakers want to halt Haitian deportation indefinitely.  That’s a bad move and a slippery slope.  As we all know, provisions like this which don’t have sunsets, simply never end.  And we don’t need 30,000 people who knew better, but broke the law, stealing American jobs permanently. I agree with the Homeland Security position which is less committed to anything long-term. Frankly, it’s unfortunate that we grant this status to people from Somalia–which has led to a huge immigration wave of extremist Muslims Somalians and, as I’ve noted, an ever-expanding crime wave against Americans committed by Somalian Muslims across our nation.

Lawmakers and immigration groups are calling on the Obama administration to grant Haitians in the USA, including those here illegally, a special temporary legal status that would protect them from deportation and allow them to take jobs.
