Bibi's Speech to Congress Null Before Delivered..........by Dan Friedman

Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to address the U.S. Congress next month and deliver what has been billed as a major Mideast peace policy speech. It’s widely assumed that Netanyahu will bring new offerings to the PLO as a way of pumping life into the moribund “peace process” - and also as a means to head-off Obama’s own final solution to the conflict. Speaker of The House John Bohner extended the invitation to Netanyahu only 14 days ago and developments since then have already changed the situation in ways that call for a major rewrite. The terror group Hamas and Israel’s “peace partner” the Palestinian Authority have ironed out their differences and just announced that their divorce didn’t work out. The silly game of good cop, bad cop is at an end. Going forward, Israel can’t have one without the other.

There are those who still cling to the belief that hidden inside the weak-kneed Bibi of Wye, Hebron, “the freeze,” and Bar-Ilan lies a shtarker* trying to get out. For them – and those who’ve given up on the man - his speech next month will be the moment of truth. As Caroline Glick puts it in her column today, this is Netanyahu’s time to choose. The prime minister will either offer more sacrifices to the Oslo idol or tell the world Israel will no longer worship at the foot of a false god. His decision will have the gravest consequences for the Jewish state, the Jewish people, and the Western world.

JOBS: A permanent state of adiosis...........from Rico

Once upon a time in America, virtually anybody with a high school (12th grade) education who was willing to work hard could get a good job. Fifty years ago, a good job enabled you to own a home, buy a car, take annual vacations, and retire with a decent pension.
Those days are over. Long gone.

Why?

Outsourcing. Offshoring.
[read: the work was sent elsewhere, someplace else. Gone. Good jobs have assumed a permanent state of adiosis.]

Thank the 'global economy' and one-worlders like Georgie Soros. NAFTA. WTO.
The "we'll work with our brains, 'they' can work with their hands and get dirty" meme was a con game, and Joe & Jane sixpack have been 'had'............

For many today, the fairytale a.k.a. "the American Dream" is over, and it's not coming back.

2 Billion To Watch The Royal Wedding

London, England

This post is being written from just a few yards from Buckingham Palace (the things you can do with an iPad!). I've spent the night in a tent and look forward to getting a view of Kate & Wills and the rest of the Royal Family when they return to Buckingham Palace from the wedding service at Westminster Abbey. I'm surrounded by people from all over. There's Marg from Minnesota and Chuck from New York as well as a huge number from all over the UK. They are all here to see the colour and the pomp and circumstance that surround Royal occasions. We all wish Kate & Wills, or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they will be known as after today, a truly happy future together.
