Topless Lebanese Skier Perks Up Big Controversy Back Home

That is, her nipples perked up some controversy back in Lebanon, where folks aren't too pleased with their Olympic athletes posing topless.

See, "Olympic Skier Jackie Chamoun Nude Pin-Up Controversy."

She's very nice looking, with an obviously to die-for hot body. And don't miss that video either. She's smokin' hot.

The Jewish Renaissanc​e: The Trend is Our Friend....................from Dan Friedman

[Every ersatz Jew knows in his heart that Israel has become the center of the Jewish universe and its final arbiter. That’s why the unJews are frantic, doing whatever they can to export their fears and liberal/Left psychosis to Israel in order to undermine this healthy trend. This brilliant essay by David P. Goldman will only add to their discomfit. df]

Israel at a Point of No Return — In the Right Direction

 American Jews, who have been running away from Judaism for the past three generations, are upset that Israel has embraced the normative Judaism they worked so hard to suppress...

By David P. Goldman (Spengler)

I should like to advance a conjecture which I lack the qualifications to adequately develop: The global Left, and the Israeli Left most of all, perceives that the clock is running out, and has worked itself up into a froth of hysteria against Israel. The world of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” where there are no countries and no religions, is about to dissipate like last night’s marijuana fumes. The demographic time bomb that worries the Left is not the relative increase of Arab vs. Jewish populations between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, speciously cited by John Kerry and a host of other errant utopians: it is the growth of the Jewish population itself, and Israel’s transformation into the world’s most religious country.

Reason # 3,520 Why I Don't Watch CNN......................from Rico

There are a LOT of reasons NOT to watch CNN (lovingly called the Communist News Network), and I do not. I will not. I can not.
- So go ahead, call me a 'refusenik.'

Here is just one example why not.
- Last night (according to Drudge's site which I DO view) CNN was all agog over whether Moochelle "Antoinette" Obama's dress last evening cost $10,000 or $12,000.

Well golly, it's NOT like there is anything ELSE more important or newsworthy to cover but that burning question.
- There was some coverage of the caviar State dinner that followed, where one Socialist head of state homored another Socialist head of state, to be fair.

Then there are those of us in the 'real' world who consider that FLOTUS, or the First Lady as some insist on calling her (that's NO lady, that's Barry's faux wife), has taken the expression to mean "Me First."


The rest of you, yes you...the 99% of America, and especially those of you only earning maybe $10-12K in a YEAR, well.......
- All y'awl enjoy your slavery now , heah?

Too Much Snow and Ice

By Alan Caruba

From 1955 until I graduated in 1959, I was a student at the University of Miami. Those were halcyon years for me, enhanced by Florida’s famed bounty of sunshine and warmth. Born and raised in New Jersey, it was a respite from the Garden State’s winters, shoveling snow, and enduring the chill.

The last time I was in Florida was in 2004 to visit my older brother in Boynton Beach and when the wall of heat hit me as I exited the West Palm Beach airport, I knew I would remain in Jersey.

I am no fan of winter. I don’t ski or ice skate. When it’s cold I stay inside where it’s warm. I venture outside once a day to turn over the car engine while picking up a lottery ticket in hopes of winning enough money to live somewhere warm during the winters here. 

I don’t know how many blizzards or just big snowstorms I have lived through at this point in my life. In my experience, most people tend to forget them when springtime arrives. Winter, which often seems to have no end, is still only four months, a quarter of the year.

After decades of “global warming” lies from Al Gore, environmental organizations, and government agencies, I knew well that, while the northern hemisphere had begun to warm around 1850 after a long cold cycle and the amount of warmth was sufficient to provide comfort, it was too small for anyone to effectively measure.

One of my favorite quotes is from Dr. Richard Lindzen, a professor of atmospheric science at MIT: "Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century's developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age."

I am pretty sure that those who lived through earlier blizzards and snowstorms did not consider them as anything other than normal. Some, though, made history. History.com even has a list of major U.S. blizzards. Perhaps the most famed was the Great Blizzard of 1888. It dumped 40 to 50 inches of snow in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. More than 400 people died; the worst toll of a winter storm. A year later in 1889, a blizzard started in Florida and then moved up the coast dumping 20 inches of snow on Washington, D.C. and 34 inches on New Jersey.

The Great Blizzard of 1888 led legislatures in Boston and New York to break ground on the country’s first underground subway systems.

Those of us on the East Coast would wait a century until 1993 for a combination blizzard and cyclone “wreaked havoc from Cuba to Canada” killing 310 people in its wake. In February 2010, snowstorms were raging from northern California to North Carolina, but typically it was the Mid-Atlantic and New England States that were hardest hit.

In January, record freezing temperatures gripped the entire nation. Energy consumption set some new records as well. Icy conditions in storms since then have left some areas without any energy and yet the environmental organizations keep fighting the development of any new sources of coal, oil and natural gas to provide needed energy. The White House has done everything in its power to accommodate this idiocy.

On February 7, The New York Times published an article by Porter Fox, the features editor at Powder Magazine—as in snow powder—and author of “Deep: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow.” Fox may know about skiing, but his knowledge of snow consists of his belief that, all over the world, “snow is melting.” This is straight out of the global warming belief that the small amount of warming since the mid-1880s was a threat to the planet. “The planet is getting hotter.” As Dr. Lindzen points out, a few tenths of a degree is meaningless.

A few years ago, The New York Times shut down its environmental reporting unit, laying off some and reassigning others. Now, apparently, it is content to publish utter nonsense about how all the snow is melting everywhere.

In recent weeks and days there has been heavy snow in Tokyo, Japan, that took some lives. Heavy snow has fallen in Austria and Italy, as well as northern Iran. People around the world are looking out their window and seeing snow.

Blizzards are a seasonal reminder that humans do not control the Earth’s climate. The Sun does that along with the oceans, volcanic activity and other natural factors. They only thing humans can and must do is endure them.

Bibi & Sharon: Separated at Birth?...........................from Dan Friedman

Where do I get those crazy ideas that Netanyahu is the problem and plans are afoot to betray the Israeli people? Glad you asked. Read this.

 

Within the year, when the trap is sprung, Netanyahu will split the true Jewish patriots from the pack and form a new center-left government – the same cheap trick his mentor “Arik” pulled off to push past the opposition to his treacherous “disengagement” fiasco. Want to know what would change my mind? An Israeli attack against Iran’s nuclear program. Everything else is just glib words without any meaning behind them. Don’t hold your breath.

Too many bananas.........................from Rico

America today has far too many bananas, and not enough Republic...at least not the Constitutional kind...Charles Krauthammer was absolutely correct in stating that (paraphreased using my words, not his) this is exactly the kind of happy horseshit you see in a Banana Republic.


How many remember starting each and every school day, standing with hand over heart (not crotch), and reciting the 'Pledge of Allegiance?'

- I'd bet many still remember those words by heart.


Well, THAT Republic is long dead kiddies.

- Thanks to the "progressive Democrats" [read: Communist assholes] we now have in its place a shitty third world Banana Republic, currently being abused by O'hole, His Imperial Marxistness (HIM) America's first dick, and dictator.

I guess she was celebrating a 6.6% official* unemployment economy, and NOT gloating while reminding the serfs that she 'has hers' .....

* Calculate with the 1980's formula by ShadowStats, unemployment is running 23.2%.

The FCC Wades Into the Newsroom

Why is the agency studying 'perceived station bias' and asking about coverage choices?

By Ajit Pai

News organizations often disagree about what Americans need to know. MSNBC, for example, apparently believes that traffic in Fort Lee, N.J., is the crisis of our time. Fox News, on the other hand, chooses to cover the September 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi more heavily than other networks. The American people, for their part, disagree about what they want to watch.
