Yesterday (Monday) evening, the Politico’s Josh Gerstein posted a “scoop”–which wasn’t a scoop at all, since I broke the story seven and nine months ago.  And, of course, Politico’s partner in promotion and denying proper credit where it’s due, Matt Drudge, followed suit linking to the unoriginal piece.

DebbieSchlussel.com Broke the Story . . .

. . . That FBI “Supermodel” Andrew Arena Was Meeting w/ CAIR’s Walid

The story was ostensibly about Attorney General Eric Holder speaking to a group of left-wing interest groups, including CAIR, but it was mostly about how the group regularly meets with the FBI, including CAIR-Michigan Executive Director Dawud Walid (DS exclusive reporting: real name, Delano Anthony Willis, Jr., who has quite a rap sheet).  This, as the story notes, violates the FBI claim they won’t meet with the extremist CAIR–the Council on American Islamic Relations.  But, hello . . ., I reported–MONTHS AGO–that they were still meeting with each other and that the embargo/boycott/ban was bogus.  Phony.  A lie.  A fraud.  Fiction.

Yes, if you read this site, you know that  I reported, back in April–in “What’choo Talkin’ ‘Bout Willis?: Told Ya So–FBI Still Meeting with CAIR; FBI’s Arena Fete’s CAIR Dude w/Long Rap Sheet“–and February–in “Myths & Facts: . . . FBI Still Hanging with CAIR,” that CAIR-Michigan was still meeting with the FBI as part of a larger “dialog” group of Arabs and Muslims.  So, it’s hardly news today . . . unless you’re new to this site or not shrewd enough to read it.

I stick by my guns.  (And I get upset when others do not.  Especially the others who know better, but do it anyway.)

On Monday, I got a call from a woman with a thick accent.  She told me she and her husband are both from Albania, that they’re looking for a lawyer to help them with immigration.

Me:  Are you Muslim or Christian?

Albanian Chick:  We are both Muslim.

So, I was quoted by Germany’s Der Spiegel on Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, perpetrator of the Fort Hood massacre, an Islamic terrorist attack.  I can understand everything but the last sentence, since I don’t speak German.  I know that “Mondsichel” is a crescent moon, the symbol of Islam

“Er ist ein Muslim”, so begann der Moderator Bill O’Reilly die Hauptabendsendung des TV-Senders Fox News mit bebender Stimme – als erkläre das automatisch ein Motiv. “Das hat man ja kommen sehen”, schrieb die konservative Kolumnistin Debbie Schlussel in ihrem Blog. “Noch so ein loyaler, moderater, amerikanischer Muslim.” Darunter bildete sie zur Illustration die islamische Mondsichel ab.

As readers know, I don’t exactly have a great love for the Germans, even though I still have cousins (descendants of Polish Jewish Holocaust survivors, who stayed there after the war) who live there (my cousin Nick’s Bar Mitzvah was in his native Munich, a few years ago).  My grandparents were survivors of the Holocaust, and they were lucky enough to survive their last camp, in Bergen Belsen, Germany, where my mother was born.

And sadly, the progeny of the old Nazis are embracing the new Nazis, Muslims.

Even though he stands to do up to 61 years in prison, former New York Police head honcho Bernard Kerik’s guilty plea, Thursday, was buried amid news of the Islamic terrorist massacre at Fort Hood.

Bernard Kerik, Majida Mourad: Double Standards of “Justice”

You have to wonder at the double standards of  “justice” applied to former Bush Homeland Security chief nominee Kerik and former Bush energy advisor Majida Mourad, a Shi’ite Muslim lobbyist and former Bush Administration energy advisor.

Both lied on federal forms and to White House personnel officials in the Bush Administration.  But only one of them was prosecuted.  The other, Ms. Mourad, lives the life of Al-Riley.

Last week, Kerik pleaded guilty to lying on federal forms he signed and in statements to Bush administration officials vetting his background upon President Bush nominating him to become Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.  One of those officials was Julie L. Myers, who later chose herself to become the incompetent, unqualified Assistant Homeland Security Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  Myers is also believed to be the apparent source for leaks to The Washington Post of confidential government documents and negative information on Kerik.  The leaks appeared designed to harm his defense of the federal indictment he faced and to which he pleaded guilty to, in part, Thursday.

But the federal prosecution contrasts starkly with the absolute non-prosecution of Majida Mourad, a Shi’ite Muslim advisor to Spencer Abraham, the former Energy Secretary and U.S. Senator and now a lobbyist for Muslim and Mid-East nations.  (Abraham’s wife, Jane Hershey Abraham, is the President of Team Sarah, the Sarah Palin networking and promotion site.)  Mourad secured a political nomination from President Bush to be a high-ranking advisor to Abraham at the Department of Energy.  But, as noted in a story I broke, last fall, Mourad lied on forms for federal employment and top secret security clearance forms, claiming she had a college degree from Indiana University.  In fact, the only “degree” Mourad had was a piece of paper marking her graduation from cosmetology school.  (Like I said then, she has one up on “Frenchie” from “Grease,” the beauty school drop-out.  But that’s about it.)

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****

As you, no doubt, know, today is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which began to come down on November 9, 1989.  I’m glad it came down and that Communism fell in Europe.  However, perhaps instead of saying, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall,” President Ronald Reagan should have said, “European Nations, erect walls on your borders,” as now most of Europe is infected with a growing and dominant Islam.  The weeds have taken over the field.

Still, in recognition of the fall of the Wall, it’s interesting to note tht the wall has one last prisoner, the deer, which won’t go near it or cross it.  The Wall Street Journal had an interesting story on it, last week.  An excerpt, below, made me wonder when PETA will blame man for this, as they do with every other form of trumped up animal “suffering.”  But, then, I remembered that these were Communists that erected the Wall–one of the few forms of homosapien, other than Muslims, that PETA won’t denounce.

If you enjoy wildlife and the great outdoors, as I do, you’ll like this:

It has been 20 years since the Berlin Wall fell. But deep in the forest here, a red deer called Ahornia still refuses to cross the old Iron Curtain.

Ahornia inhabits the thickly wooded mountains along what once was the fortified border between West Germany and Czechoslovakia. At the height of the Cold War, a high electric fence, barbed wire and machine-gun-carrying guards cut off Eastern Europe from the Western world. The barriers severed the herds of deer on the two sides as well.

The fence is long gone, and the no-man’s land where it stood now is part of Europe’s biggest nature preserve. The once-deadly border area is alive with songbirds nesting in crumbling watchtowers, foxes hiding in weedy fortifications and animals not seen here for years, such as elk and lynx.

But one species is boycotting the reunified animal kingdom: red deer.

So, Islamic terrorist and Fort Hood Massacre perpetrator Nidal Malik Hasan loved strippers and lap dances. No surprise there.

When news came out that we used female interrogators and sexual suggestiveness as a tactic to get Guantanamo Bay Islamic terrorists to talk, liberals and many pseudo-conservatives, like Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby, led an outcry about how we need to respect “Islamic modesty” that is “sooooo important” in Islam.  As if modesty ain’t nothin’ to religious Christians, Catholics, Jews, etc.

At the time I wrote this must-read column, “Sex & the Islamic Terrorist,” because I thought it was interesting how liberals and Jeff Jacoby forgot that these “modest” Muslims patronized prostitutes and “The Pink Pony” strip club before they mass-murdered nearly 3,000 Americans on 9/11.  And they clearly turn a blind eye to the modesty of harems and sex-slaves that populate the Islamic palaces and mansions throughout the Sheikdoms and Arab street, where online porn sites are far more popular than even in the West.

These Muslims who are sooooo damned “modest” never seem to have a problem raping the women of enemies they attack and war with, nor does modesty keep them from cutting of the penises of enemy men–usually Americans, Jews, and Israelis–and inserting them in the mouths of the dead bodies.  Some of the women with all but their eyes covered are the biggest sluts on the planet.  And has everyone forgotten that this is the religion that promises three-year-olds 72 virgins in paradise in order to train them to grow up to blow up innocent people? So spare me the “Islamic modesty” crap.  Ain’t no such thing.  It’s fiction.

And now we have “Sex & the Islamic Terrorist, Part Deux,” with pious Muslim and Islamic terrorist, Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan, not only drinking mass quantities of alcohol (verboten in Islam), but patronizing his own set of strippers.  I wonder how good he was at putting dollar bills in some silicone-enhanced skank’s g-string.

Reports say he spent seven hours at a time at Starz strip joint and bought lap dances.  Love that piety.  And he had something in common with Alfonso Ribeiro:  he loved those White blonde chicks.

Oh, and remember, it’s to pander to people like this fraud that our troops aren’t allowed Playboys in Iraq.  Let’s hear it for “Islamic modesty.”

As a fan of “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” when I was younger, I always thought Alfonso Ribeiro–who played Carlton Banks–was much more talented than star Will Smith.  It’s a lot of hard work to play the straight man while someone else has the easy, funny lines, laughs, and gags.  Plus, over the years, I’d seen Ribeiro sing and dance in Broadway’s “The Tap Dance Kid” and watched him act on TV’s “Silver Spoons.”

Et Tu, Carlton Banks?

But I’m no longer a fan of this low-class has-been.  When he’s not doing videos for Disney by day (with his young daughter), he’s bragging by night about how he [bleeps] White women. (Watch the video.)  I don’t care who dates whom, or what races they are, but his in-your-face “monologue” on the topic is racist and meant to irritate and offend.  I grew up in a majority Black city (where I still live), went to a majority Black high school.  But this act by Ribeiro is beyond moronic.  It’s not about interracial relationships.  It’s about an obsession with lording it over people of the opposite race (a la the “not guilty” verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial) and constantly referring to their race in an offensive way.

I’m not sure what his motivation for bragging that “I [blank] White Women” is:  racism against Black women, racism against easy blonde White women, lording it over White men, trying to expand his O.J.-esque harem, or who knows what?  Maybe it’s some kind of revenge for White slave-owners more than a century ago sleeping with Black slaves and more than a century before he was born.  Any way you slice it, it’s racist, offensive, and has echoes of the Oprah and Gail King conversation bragging about how many White people work for them.    White people are the slaves of Oprah, and they’re the sex slaves of Carlton Banks.  Wow, you’ve come a long way, Black America.  Here’s a tip:  lording this stuff over a particular race won’t heal racism.  It is racism.  And it exacerbates it.

Check out the cartoon below.  I’ve been saying it for years.

Everyone’s up in arms that Nidal Malik Hasan, the Islamic terrorist who murdered 13 American soldiers and wounded 30 others on U.S. soil, belonged to an extremist mosque where some of the 9/11 hijackers worshipped.  But I noted that mosque and that it was extremist, on Friday Morning, well before the Telegraph (which reported it Saturday).

Still, it makes no difference that he went to that mosque.  Do you think the extremism preached at that mosque is any different from the extremism preached at any other mosque in America?  And do you think the CIA or FBI watched the worshippers of that mosque at any time in the last 8 years since 9/11?  Think again.  Instead, President Bush was giving out awards with his-then Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham (whose wife is the President of Team Sarah)  to members of that mosque and others hand-picked by them.  It’s not about a particular mosque.  It’s about a particular religion.  And we refuse to face the facts.

And as I’ve repeatedly asked on this site, why the heck are we fighting jihadists over there, if we’re giving them carte blanche and promoting them over here?  And that’s why I love the cartoon above, by cartoonist Jim McCloskey, which I saw on Sean G’s site Religio-Political Talk.  Check out all of the great political cartoon’s he’s posted on the Fort Hood Muslim Massacre.

Plenty of readers have asked me why I haven’t commented, thus far, on the “Saturday Night Special” Healthcare Russian Roulette ObamaCare vote. Hopefully, this will answer the question.

On Sunday, reader Keith from Michigan sent me this e-mail query:

Hello from a Registered Republican in Macomb [DS: a bellwether county in Metro Detroit area that was traditionally dominated by Reagan Democrats and the working-class]. Are you going to post your take on the passage of Obamacare by the House. I had heard that there was a House Rep that had his own take on the event being “historic.” This Rep quoted Napoleon, “History Is A Set Of Lies Agreed Upon.”

Keith identified himself as a centrist in the subject line of his e-mail. Below is my response to him, also Sunday, and why I haven’t posted a thing on it . . . mostly because the Republicans are no heroes in this, even if only one of them voted for this absurd healthcare bill.

***  UPDATE:  MORE Free Meals, Stuff for Veterans, Current U.S. Military Personnel on Veterans Day – Click Here! ***

To my readers who are serving or have served in the U.S. military, today (Sunday), you can have a free meal on the house at McCormick & Schmick’s, which is celebrating Veteran’s Day early.

McCormick & Schmick’s. For the 11th year in a row, the 87 locations in 25 states are offering free entrees to veterans on Sunday. The chain also requests military ID and highly recommends reservations. The promotion is on Sunday instead of Veterans Day, “because it allows vets to bring their families who might not be available during the week,” CEO Bill Freeman says.

There are other deals–free items or discounts, later this week, for current and past U.S. military personnel at Applebee’s, Krispy Kreme, Golden Corrall, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Outback Steakhouse.

But before you applaud these businesses for giving free stuff to those who served, remember that it is good business. A military man or vet who eats at McCormick & Schmick’s or Applebee’s will get to eat free, but he might bring friends and family, who’ll be paying. And in these tough times, it’s smart business to fill empty seats, as less Americans eat out.
