Romney Makes Ryan His Veep Choice

Published on 2012-08-12 06:53:16

Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney announced Paul Ryan as his running mate yesterday. If Mitt Romney has any luck whatsoever, then the Republican self-anointed leadership will come out unanimously aghast in opposition of his choosing Representative Paul Ryan. One reason this may actually prove to be the case is due to Representative Ryan’s budget formulations [...]

Forget Land for Peace; First Things First

Published on 2012-08-09 07:36:42

The world has been chasing after the wrong exchange in dealing with the Arab Israeli problem, and it is the Arab Israeli problem and not the substituted Israeli Palestinian problem. The reason the Arab World substituted the Palestinians to stand in for the entire Arab World was simply done for two reasons. The first reason [...]

The Gaffe Patrol

Published on 2012-08-08 07:22:45

The first thing we must realize is that there are Gaffes and then there are gaffes. The problem, or the fun, in discerning the difference is the reality and crux of the argument. The way we should judge the difference between gaffes is whether a gaffe deserves to be capitalized or simply passed by left [...]

I feel so much safer knowing the Lady Aston with a noble effort from the European Union have finessed Iranian lead nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili into yet another round of urgent negotiations within the framework of the P5+1 setting.

Leaks out of Iran are placing added meaning to the possibility for Assad to be removed from power in Syria, namely who will control Lebanon.

The Real Problem for Obama is not Jewish Voters

Published on 2012-08-01 07:02:08

President Obama does not have a Jewish problem in the upcoming election; he has an Israel problem.

It is not About an Occupation

The overbearing conversation claims that the anger, terrorism and all other forms of violence perpetrated by the “Palestinians” is due to their historic homeland having been stolen and occupied by the Israelis, the Jews. This is a deception which anybody with even a modicum of knowledge of ancient history already knows the truth but let’s [...]

Iran Nuclear Crisis Pits Barak Against Barack

This Election We Have a Real Choice

Published on 2012-07-20 07:01:20

Many pundits have aptly described Obama’s campaign for the Presidency last election as a fill in the blank campaign.

Way back when I was first attending religious and Hebrew school we were told how lucky Jews were today because anti-Semitism had finally been eradicated once and for all and how the Holocaust made the return of anti-Semitism impossible.

Ramifications of New Coalition and the Revelation of the True Netanyahu

The inclusion of Kadima into the ruling Likud Coalition can only be described as a political coup. The ninety-four seat coalition is beyond any majority government in scope and size in the brief history of Israel. This makes the coalition safe from threat from any single coalition member as it would maintain the required sixty-one [...]

Coming Presidential Race Comparisons Accurate by a Half

Published on 2012-04-29 07:03:39

The temptation to compare the coming presidential contest of incumbent President Barack Obama against his Republican adversary, Mitt Romney, to the 1980 contest between incumbent President Jimmy Carter and his Republican adversary, Ronald Reagan, are not a totally accurate comparison.
