Foreign-Affairs-and-Domestic-Policy

A tremendous amount of information has been accrued over the weekend and, candidly, it is difficult to
discern what should be prioritized; therefore, the data are provided en-masse [initially] regarding issues
that have been categorized and about which the hyperlinks require no additional commentary [beyond
points made previously]. Thereafter, key-concerns about which color-commentary is indicated, are
conveyed in a subsequent Blast e-mail. The topics included herein are as follows: Levity, Illegals,
Harrisburg, Foreign Affairs [Islamism, Iraq, Israel, Russia, China, Venezuela, etc.], and Domestic Policy
[EPA, IRS, VA, ObamaDontCare, Economy, Guns, etc.]. One overall point is pivotal, regardless of the
issue and its associated politics: this nation is based on rule-of-law, and no one is permitted to fail to
enforce it [regardless of whose actions are ignored, in any given locale], so neither Illegals nor gun-
owners should be given a pass by claiming any type of discretion [administrative/prosecutorial].

This is also why AG-Kane abrogated her oath when she invoked discretion when failing
to defend DOMA. Illustrative of this duty is the decision of the SCOTUS to hire a lawyer
to argue the Individual Mandate in ObamaDontCare was a tax rather than a penalty
[on that fateful March Monday Morning] when BHO had refused to permit his Solicitor
to do so *noting, also, that this was the pivotal component of Roberts decision, as
fatally-flawed as it was due to its violation of the Origination Clause]. {Also note that the
SCOTUS will rule on the PILL on Monday (round two ROBERTS AND OBAMACARE.}

This rule-of-law issue animates Boehners impending litigation which Obama ignored ['I'll keep taking
actions on my own' and Obama: 'I'm Just Going to Make It Up As I Go Along'], the White House Press
Secretary belittled ['Were Not Just Going To Sit Around And Wait' For Congress To Write Laws] and
Dems were unable to defend [Chris Wallace Confronted Dem Congressman On Obamas Executive
Actions: Is He Rewriting The Law?]; thus, McConnell correctly predicted 'Imperial President Obama'
Won't Be Humbled By SCOTUS NLRB Ruling and Jeff Sessions said Obama 'Should Be Shamed' by
Unanimous SCOTUS Rebuke, despite the fact that DURBIN LIKENED GOP LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMA TO
LINCOLN'S CIVIL WAR STRUGGLES. Indeed, a Liberal Law Professor characterized Obama as The Very
Danger The Constitution Was Designed To Avoid and, as a result, Half The Nation is Calling For a
Convention of the States To Stop Obama. {Also, Krauthammer said, If BHO Were Republican, he
Would've Been Impeached Over These Abuses, and Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe Said He Has Proof
That Obama is deliberately harming America by inter alia Supporting the Enemy.}

Meanwhile, Obama Claimed GOP Obstructing Him with 'Phony Scandals' and Whined
About in His Sad, Sad Life as President [On Friday, he spent a good chunk of his public
speech in Minneapolis complaining about how tough it is to be President Obama. They
dont do anything except block me! he complained of the Republican House of
Representatives, as though it were the job of Congress to rubber stamp the Great
Monarchs imperial dictates. And, and, and call me names!]; also, his defenders were
out-in-force on MSNBC [Melissa-Harris-Perry: GOP-Want-To-Humble-Uppity-Obama].
{Also, Obama Mocked Michelles Food Standards, Wolfs Down Cookies And Ice Cream.}

1703


A Montana newspaper [The Billings Gazette] that endorsed President Obama over John McCain in 2008
(but went with Romney in 2012) admitted 'We Were Wrong' because Obama is Worse than Bush;
apparently, the potential collapse of Iraq (and the disastrous consequences sure to follow) was the last
straw. One cannot, however, conclude that such recognition has influenced the mainstream media
noting, for example, that oreilly used MRC Stat to Show the Liberal Media is 'Subverting American
Democracy'; CBS Finally Covered House Speaker's Lawsuit Against Obama Administration [spending
seconds, NBC spending minutes, ABC not bothering at-all+. Thats why DRUDGE said the News business
is 'psychotic' during a RARE INTERVIEW ON WTOP. ,Note that FNC isnt immune from scrutiny, as Phone
records of IRA terror informant went to NEWS INTERNATIONAL provoking more questions for Murdoch.}

Far too many Americans see no shame in living on government assistance or scamming
the system; the Lefts campaign led by the Obama Administration to instill an
entitlement mindset in many has proven successful. But Americans are getting sick of
seeing taxpayer dollars abused through welfare, and states are adopting measures to try
to deal with the waste and fraud in the system. Louisiana Just Banned Welfare Benefits
for Tattoos and Bling. In Florida, the legislature passed a bill criminalizing welfare
fraud. In Mississippi, their state senate just gave the stamp of approval to a bill that
would require drug testing of welfare recipients deemed likely to be substance abusers.

The disruption of unlimited demand but limited supply affects everything, not just ObamaDontCare;
writers have lamented these events [Welcome to Obamas America: Brawl Breaks Out at Welfare Office]
and Economist Martin Armstrong Warned Civil Unrest Is Rising Everywhere ["This Won't End Pretty"].
What must be appreciated is the fact that Rush Limbaugh Was Right; For Liberals In And Out Of Media,
It's The Ideology, Stupid *and not just incompetence+; during an Epic Rant consuming Just 82 Seconds,
Megyn Kelly Utterly Destroyed Obama. Essentially, the tremendous number of hyperlinks reflects how
BHO is flooding the zone with so many issues that, frankly, even a weekend of scrutiny didnt do
justice to the profundity of the implications of each issue viewed as mutually-exclusive of the others.

Islamism

The Islamists are continuing to fight the Crusades, even if the U.S., the U.K. and Canada remain in Jihad
Denial; in myriad ways, it is manifest in Afghanistan [Abdullah led several thousand Protesters in Kabul
regarding the Election Stand-Off due to alleged fraud that has triggered a political crisis]; Pakistan
[Pakistani Army Is Carrying Out Genocidal Murders In Balochistan (Like It Did Against Bengalis Four
Decades Ago) and Russia's Historic Decision To Sell Military Weapons To Pakistan And Its Impact On
Region's Balance Of Power]; the Sudan [internationally-known Sudanese Christian Mother (27-year-old
Meriam Ibrahim) Jailed (and sentenced to death for refusing to convert to Islam) for Apostasy is Now
'Safe' at US Embassy, after being re-arrested while trying to leave the country]; Wales (which is
becoming a Hot Bed of Islamist Activity); Belgium [Jewish Museum Attack Suspect to be Extradited to
Belgium]; and even at a meeting of the Africa Union [American Jews leave African Union summit after
protests by Egyptian and South African, as delegates objected to skullcap-wearing Jewish attendees,
mistaken for an Israeli delegation]. {In counterdistinction, Morocco Eyes Regional Clout as a Moderate
Muslim Model.}

Qatar equipped 1800 volunteers from North Africa to fight in Iraqs ISIS (Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant); Qatar is where Obama sent the five Taliban leaders in exchange
for deserter Bowe Bergdahl. If you dont see incompetence, put down the Kool-Aid.

There is plenty of Islamist activity in England [UK ISLAMIST GROUP 'NEED4KHILAFAH' BANNED five
MONTHS AFTER BREITBART LONDON EXPOS; MUSLIM MAN MURDERED PREGNANT PROSTITUTE FOR
WORKING NEAR MOSQUE; Father Escapes Prison After Beating Daughter With Ladle For Not Reading
Koran; Hardline Mosque Delivered Lectures to Cardiff Children; and (bowing to political correctness)
DAVID CAMERON complained the UK PARLIAMENT IS TOO WHITE]. Lest an ambiguity survive just this
sampling, the Ex Military Boss [Lord Richards] Said UK Armed Forces More Suited To 'Banana Republic';
he hit out at the coalitions plans to cut military budgets by, for example, moving from full-time to part-
time soldiers because it would impede the ability to become involved in any long-term conflict like Iraq.

US Ended the Philippines Anti-Terror Force by successfully Fighting Terrorism after 9/11
by employing a Joint Special Operations Task Force to combat Abu Sayyaf and other

1710

Islamist terrorist groups [see 2009 Weekly Standard article] never had more than 600
personnel and it never went directly into combat. Rather its mission was to assist the
Philippine armed forces with intelligence, planning, civil affairs, psychological
operations, training, and other important tasks. Now, having accomplished a lot, the
task force, based in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, is being disbanded.

Again reflecting BHOs attitude that this war should be fought as if engaged in law-enforcement [the
pre-9/11 attitude established under Clinton], the US is letting Benghazi suspects off hook, with the
recent arrest viewed as small potatoes; ahmed-abu-khatallah, the Terror suspect, arrived in D.C.
[ending abruptly the ability to grill him while asea] and, as predicted, pled NOT GUILTY TO BENGHAZI
CHARGE. Thereafter, Abu Khattala was transferred to an Alexandria jail after hearing. Noting that
American troops are getting Ramadan training in Bahrain [but the Military Bans Bibles But Forces
Soldiers to Adhere to Ramadan Rules], the subjugation of "dhimmitude" has begun, in furtherance of
the lefts-war-on-moderate-muslims and islamophobia. {Also, reacting to the Mindblowing Dhimmitude
of the Presbyterian Church, BHO was silent while BB gave them the diplomatic finger.}


Iraq

As the Al-Qaida breakaway formally declared its Islamic State, the adverse-effects upon America are
being experienced acutely [Gasoline prices continue to climb] and chronically [the Crisis in Iraq Puts
Americans at Risk of Terrorism]; meanwhile, Archbishop & 20 Priests Remain After Iraqi Christian Town
Evacuates, prompting Iraqi Christians to exclaim that the 'US Must Act Now to Stop Religious Genocide.'
In addition, there is direct involvement of Iran [which Surged Forces in Iraq and Plundered Opposition
Camp] and Russia [First batch of Russian jets arrives in Iraq]. Yet, the reaction to these events in Syria
and Iraq remains a 'Yes, Prime Minister' Foreign Policy of the West [from the hit British political sitcom],
as noted by those notoriously hawkish hacks at the Washington Free Beacon. {Finally, US Now Flying
Weaponized Drones over Baghdad.}

As the Iraqi Military is Fighting to Reclaim Tikrit from ISIS, it has been predicted that ISIS
Won't Take Baghdad. As it solidifies gains, it is promoting a softer, almost philanthropic
image of their jihadist cause on the internet; yet, ISIS [Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham]
is Conducting Mass Executions, Throwing Iranians Over Cliffs in Syria, having committed
War Crimes in Tikrit, Iraq. ISIS is also Kidnapping and Brainwashing Children to Use as
Suicide Bombers and Chechnian snipers who have been turned into professional killers
during the war in Syria have now been stationed in Iraq to fight the Iraqi people.

Recalling the fiction that American influence in the Middle East was what was driving recruitment to
radical groups, the above successes has prompted ISIS Influence to expand with Saudi and Indonesian
Nationals; to edge closer towards Jordan and SAUDI ARABIA [whose ARMED FORCES are ON HIGH ALERT
AS ISIS APPROACHES; to Openly Operate in Gaza [Flags Seen Waving at Funeral (VIDEO)]; and to Edge
Closer to Israel [noting that Former National Security Council director Yaakov Amidror said Israel needs
to be prepared to assist Jordan in fighting off ISIS]. {Blatantly, ISIS invited the ARGENTINE SOCCER
SUPERSTAR LIONEL MESSI to 'JOIN THE JIHADIST CALL.'}


Israel


1711

As Israelis banded together over their kidnapped boys, the worlds silence was deafening, although PM
Netanyahu Received a Letter from Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan Condemning the Abduction of
the Three Youths and Demanding Their Unconditional Release [perhaps due to Israeli assistance with
the kidnapping of the schoolgirls last month and noting Islamists torched churches and killed scores in
Nigeria yielding DOZENS' DEAD AS BOKO HARAM SACKS CHURCHES IN CHIBOK]. In America, Susan Rice
Finally Weighed in on Kidnapped Israeli Boys While Obama Remained Silent; characteristically, Sen. Ted
Cruz said the Full weight of the world should bear down on Hamas until they return kidnapped Israeli
teens. In addition to mass-arresting Hamas members and announcing Israel has in custody two prime
suspects in teens abduction, ISRAEL NAMED TWO HAMAS TERRORISTS SUSPECTED IN KIDNAPPING OF 3
TEENS [who are all in-hiding]; also, following the Abduction of the Teens, the Israeli Embassy Released a
Study on Hamas Kidnapping Handbooks.

The Kidnapping has been placed into a context including the Settlements and History.
As the second week of the ordeal of the three Israeli teens kidnapped by Hamas
terrorists begins, there were few signs, other than yesterdays announcement of the
names of two suspects, of progress in the search. But the indifference of much of the
world to the abduction stems from the fact that the yeshiva to which the trio was
hitchhiking is located in the West Bank settlement of Kfar Etzion. But, as historian Benny
Morris noted this week in Tablet, the notion that a resident of this community is an
illegal settler contradicts history.

To most Westerners, the West Bank is a place where illegal Israeli colonies have been
planted among Palestinians in order to rule over them. That this territory is the heart of
the historic Jewish homeland to which Jews have legal, religious, and moral claims is
something that is almost never discussed. But even if you wish to ignore the fact that
the West Bank is merely disputed territory where both Jews and Arabs have valid claims
rather than occupied Palestinian land, it is not possible to classify Kfar Etzion in that
manner.

As Morris writes, the existence of what is known as the Gush Etzion bloc of settlements
south of Jerusalem on the road between Bethlehem and Hebron predates Israels War
of Independence. When war broke out in 1947 after the Arabs rejected the United
Nations partition of the country into Jewish and Arab states, the Etzion bloc came under
siege from Arab gangs and eventually the Arab Legion, the Transjordan army
commanded by British officers.

As referenced above and detailed by Caroline Glick, there is increasing Recognition of Jewish indigenous
rights to Eretz Yisrael. Fortunately, BB remains focused on its existential-threat; Israel stepped-up its
campaign against 'bad' nuclear Iran deal, and it was noted that U.N. experts traced recently-seized arms
to Iran and concluded, therefore, that Iran had violated the embargo.

The Lefties remained relentless, not dissimilar to BHOs posturing. Robi Damelin of
Parents Circle, a terror victims organization, cried-out for sanity and the curbing of what
she referred to as the repeated call for vengeance (Break the cycle, we beg of
you, Times of Israel, June 24, 2014). She asked for more reconciliation, more dignity,
more respect, less hatred and greater understanding of what prisoners mean to the
Palestinians. She calls for human rights, a life of dignity and safety for all, and freedom
from violence.

1712


Her passion was tangible as she begged for support of an organization bringing together
the families of terror victims from among Palestinians and Israelis who have chosen a
path to reconciliation. Yet, one can be a caring person and still oppose what Parents
Circle represents recalling, for example, that one year ago, divergence between their
rhetoric and reality was detailed [Behind the facade at Parents Circle, messages that
are deeply disturbing to bereaved families].

We noted than, and repeat now, that Damelins call appears to be addressed to
Israelis alone. Her cycle is a singularly Israeli responsibility the Palestinian Arab and
Israeli Jewish members of Parents Circle are united in endorsing Palestinian victimhood
and telling Israelis that the conflict is our fault. The Palestinians were left out when Robi
Damelin wrote: Israel is fast becoming the pariah of the worldwe are losing our moral
fiber. In her worldview, the moral burden is entirely on one side.

In a generic response that many considered long-overdue, Netanyahu Moved to Outlaw the Islamist
Movement in Israel because We Cannot Accept Infuriating Calls to Abduct IDF Soldiers.

Few Israelis lamented the fact that US Middle East negotiator Indyk resigned, for most
recognize the Palestinian Arabs are sporting A culture in moral ruin. After a Gazan
Rocket Hit a Sderot Factory setting-off a Blaze, the reaction was a SUPER-PRECISION
ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE ON GAZA. After Peaceful Jews were mobbed and mocked on the
Temple Mount in Jerusalem [taunted about the probable Hamas kidnapping of three
Israeli teenagers], Netanyahu decided It's Time for an Authentic Jewish Response.

Recalling my having documented the fact that reference to the land is included in every weekly Parsha
[a monograph that is being edited by a highly-respected local-rabbi, perhaps to be published as more
than a vanity entity+, the groundbreaking exhibit, People, Book, Land the 3,500-year relationship
between the Jewish People and the Holy Land is an epic, moving story which shows the uninterrupted
presence of Jews in the land of Israel for over three millennium - writes exhibit author, Hebrew
University Jewish History Professor, Dr. Robert Wistrich, in The Jerusalem Post (read full op/ed, "An
Unshakeable Bond").


International

PRO-RUSSIANS IN EAST UKRAINE RELEASED FOUR OSCE MEMBERS HELD HOSTAGE [for whatever
reason], as Pro-Russians Shot Mortars [hidden Behind Orthodox Churches in east Ukraine], for they hold
nothing sacred, according to a Russian Orthodox Church Abroad priest, who did not want to be named.
It may be recalled that the White House expressed outrage at the news that Ukrainian security forces
were firing automatic weapons on anti-government protesters in clashes that had left at least 22 people
dead; now, a Vladimir Putin Advisor Called Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko a Nazi, as the Russian
gas company Gazprom Threatened Gas Supplies if European Union Sells Gas to Ukraine, from which it
cut-off gas [to Kiev only] in mid-June. {This is where presence of the Keystone XL would have made a
difference but, alas, this is not now to be, vide infra.} Of perhaps pivotal relevance is the announcement
that Perm-36. the Gulag Museum in Russia, Faces Closure Due to Pressure from Moscow; it is a well-
preserved Stalin-era camp that provides visitors insight into Soviet repressions, one of the worst camps
run by the Soviet Union.

Albania Has Much to Do Before It Can be An EU Member State, but EU Agreements are

Claude Juncker Got the Nod to be the next president of the European Commission,
dismissing Prime Minister David Camerons warnings that putting this euro-zealot in the

that Britain banned Eurotunnel Ferry Service to France on grounds of unfair competition
and a Surge of Immigrants is Responsible for Half of Britain's Population Growth; again
reflecting similar phenomena on both sides of the pond, here focused on random-
crime, know that a London Gang 'Smashed American Tourist's Eye Socket with Bottle'].

Multiple articles recognized the modern-day import of WW-I:

Assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Set Off 'The Month That Changed the
World' - On June 28, 1914, Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie,
were murdered by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo. The assassination set
off a chain of events that led to the outbreak of the First World War in Europe and
affirmed famed German Chancellor Otto von Bismarcks prediction that the next great
war would start because of some foolish thing in the Balkans.
The Great War: A Conflict That Shaped the Modern World - To walk the orderly rows of
headstones in the elegant graveyards that hold the dead of World War I is to feel both
awe and distance. With the death of the last veterans, World War I, which began 100
years ago, has moved from memory to history. But its resonance has not faded on
land and geography, people and nations, and on the causes and consequences of
modern war.
The Great War at 100 - Alas, today, the enemies of freedom, from Moscow to Tehran to
Pyongyang, can no longer be certain in the readiness and resolve of the greatest
champion of freedom in todays worldthe United States. Our president has allowed red
lines to be crossed with impunity and our defense capabilities are deteriorating because
of mindless budget cuts. That is a dangerous situation. We are unlikely, thank goodness,
to see another conflict on the scale of World War I, but we are courting lesser conflicts
that can still prove deadly and dangerouslike the wars now engulfing Iraq and Syria,
those progeny of World War I.
Sarajevo Serbs Unveil Monument to Gavrilo Princip, The Assassin Who Triggered WWI-
In the Balkans, a monument to Gavrilo Princip was unveiled on Saturday in East Sarajevo

Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire, and his pregnant wife, Sophie.

Domestic Policy

EPA

administration's five-year refusal to approve construction of the Keystone XL pipeline designed to bring
830,000 barrels a day of much-needed Alberta shale oil to U.S. refineries, the Canadian government
recently approved plans for a huge new pipeline and port project to ship that oil to Asia instead.

After having debulked, certain issues have been preserved for greater scrutiny; additional levity
again precedes heady problems created and perpetuated by BHO [Best Final Jeopardy Answer Ever and
awkward-mothers-day-photos]. Key-concerns in the prior Blast e-mail merit recapitulation because
they may have been buried in hyperlinks that corroborated prior views; consider:

Regarding Illegals:
Obama to redirect immigration enforcement to border, conceding defeat on overhaul
Saving the Border When the Cavalry Isn't Coming - As tens of thousands of so-called
unaccompanied alien children (UAC) crash our southern border, we are undergoing a
war against the existence, the concept of the USA as a nation-state, and this is why

measure to stop illegals from getting jobs, benefits in USA; Backlog of 360,000 cases and
90% of illegals skipped court appearances; Only 110 of 12,670 Guatemalan Minors
Deported Under Obama.
A federal employment ad posted in January showing that 65,000 unaccompanied minors
will enter the U.S. illegally shows that the administration expected this cross-border
child abuse and encouraged it.

New Judge May Seek Special Prosecutor in IRS Scandal
White House Report Admitted 'Corrosive Culture' at Veterans Affairs

The issues probed herein encompass the LGBTQ-Movement in PA and Culture-Wars, Kurdistan, the
Mandatory Holocaust Education Law, Joe Paterno, Sports, and Racism. Foreign Affairs arent ignored,
noting that this summary from Foreign Policy corroborates points made in the immediately-prior
Blast e-mail; Iraq/Syria is a wreck, al-Maliki is trying to regain lost territoryand Russia is everywhere:


Top News: Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and
al-Sham (ISIS), declared himself caliph of the entire Muslim world, claiming a centuries-old title
that has fallen out of use. "He is the imam and caliph for Muslims everywhere," a spokesman for
the group said in an online statement. The last living caliph was the last Ottoman sultan, whose
position was abolished in 1922.
In the audio statement that the group posted online, ISIS said it would now be known simply as
the Islamic State. The move comes after ISIS announced last month that it has erased the border
between Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State stretches from Aleppo in Syria's north to Diyala in
eastern Iraq and the group said that the new state has courts and will collect taxes.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi government continued to fight ISIS militants who have made major
advances in recent weeks. The Iraqi army is struggling to retake the city of Tikrit, a major Sunni-
majority city some 100 miles north of Baghdad. Russian military advisors arrived in Iraq on
Sunday to help train the Iraqi military in the use of 12 Russian fighter planes. Russia sent the
planes in an apparent rebuke of the United States, which Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki
accused of being too slow in sending military aid.
Ukraine: Ukraine's president and his Russian counterpart talked with EU leaders to discuss a
settlement to the crisis in Ukraine's east as clashes between separatists and government forces
continue. Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko had declared ceasefire last week but many of
the rebel groups ignored it and five Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. A Russian journalist was
shot while filming a pro-separatist protest near the city of Donetsk






Also, know that the SCOTUS sided with home health care workers in Illinois who want out of a union,
but stopped short of a sweeping decision that could have decimated union finances and membership
[by disallowing the only growing union-movement in America, the public workers, a concept that FDR
had eschewed]. In Harris v. Quinn, the justices declined to reverse a precedent, set in 1977, that held
states could compel public-sector employees to pay union dues. Laws mandating such payments exist in
26 states and will remain intact, in a major victory for organized labor. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for a
5-4 majority, called the precedent "questionable," signaling an openness to revisit it in future cases.

In local news, a Jenkintown burglar made coffee before committing his crime.

Sultan Knish Daniel Greenberg observed that America seems to be run by a single giant corporation
whose leadership is very complicated and competitive, but whose leaders come from a common culture

1719

and who call on the consensus for their ideas; such observations animate efforts by the Heritage Action
group, including those of Mike Henry [who just started hosting a half-hour radio-show, aired @ 8:30
a.m. on Mondays [http://www.1180wfyl.com/programs.html].




LGBTQ-Movement in PA & Culture-Wars

Todays hot-news, obviously, is the SCOTUS 5-4 decision to Exempt Private "closely held" Firms From
ObamaDontCares Contraception Rule on religious grounds; perhaps, in conjunction with last years
tacit approval of gay-marriage, these vexing social-issues can be more easily perceived as secondary to
the major governmental concerns facing Americans. The larger issue raised in the Culture Wars is the
alleged-conflict between Government and the Family, a concept that I explored by critiquing the most
passionate/potent essay available that seemed to suggest the Family Unit has been shortchanged;
because it is somewhat lengthy [even after having been pared-down, particularly because annotation
was added+, the Blast e-mail received this past Friday from Jonah-Goldberg has been uploaded. Thus,
even when taking into account the definition of marriage and how Justina Pelletier was abused
[separated from her family] by the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, it seems that
distrust in governmenttrending within other issues, such as ObamaDontCaremay be growing.

World Vision, recovering from gay policy shift, tried to shore up its evangelical base by
testing evangelical boundaries three months ago when it announced it would allow its
employees to be in same-sex marriages; the policy of this relief-group was reversed
within 48 hours after supporters threatened to pull donations. {This is reminiscent of
what happened when the Susan G. Komen Foundation defunded Planned Parenthood
due to its performing abortions; donations dropped (and my cousins report that
participation in the annual Mothers Day Marathon has dropped precipitously.-
Israeli Education Minister Piron was defend by his Lesbian Sister After he uttered Anti-Gay Comments
[claiming the Jewish states right, perhaps its duty, is to say to homosexual couples that decide to live
their lives that way, that this is not a family, nevertheless retaining other interactional rights
[economic, paying a mortgage, exerting parental rights]. Piron later backed off the remarks [I am

1720

grievously convinced that such remarks are contemptible; it is not up to me to decide what is a family
and what is not]. In my view, tolerance will assuage differences; in the process, it is advisable that
gays stay classy [disclaiming Gay marriage supporters who mocked a conservative dads son and then
blamed him for posting photo. Flamboyance may be overwrought and counterproductive; yet,
Sponsorship of gay pride parades is on the rise. Curiously, Bill Mahar SLAMMED Libs Over Gay Marriage,
lambasting the people who become outraged [and call for people to be fired as a result] over comments
others may have made in the past; he has experience in this realm, post-9/11. Of far greater concern to
social-scientists is The New Divorce 'Italian Style': Don't get Married in the First Place. {Curiously,
'Domestic Violence [allegedly] Increased When England Exited the World Cup'.}

Efforts are moving-along rapidly to create a chapter of the Log Cabin [gay] Republicans
in Pennsylvania, although its unclear whether initial efforts will include an immediate
sub-chapter in MontCo and/or Philly; what is of particular interest is what one individual
[who wrote he would be happy to be President or Treasurer] wrote in response to a
non-directive query: I would like to see the group focus on small-business expansion,
PSERS [Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement] resolutions, educational
funding, oil/natural gas development, and reduction of business taxes. Noted is the
precise emphasis on issues that are of-concern to all citizens, rather than just those who
are in the gay community. Im told Rep. Mike Vereb *who is also MCRC chair+ raised this
issue last week before the area-leaders of the local GOP [MontCo], and was praised.
,Also, I joined, to illustrate solidarity with this effort, although Im assuredly not gay.-

The embodiment of resistance to such efforts is the Papacy, but a New Document Reinforced Catholic
Church Teachings on Hot Button Issues; this working-document in preparation for the global Synod of
Bishops doused the hopes of many Church progressives that core Church teachings on controversial
issues would change. The Pope said communists are closet Christians and that 'Communists have stolen
our flag'; despite the Churchs opposition to gay-rights, advocates claim Jesus would have supported gay
marriage and even Elton John [who is gay] called Francis 'wonderful.' {True to form, an Italian Mayor
Announced Mandatory Crucifixes for every Public Office and School.}

Quoting Bill Maher as a model-lib is sometimes instructive [such as when he opts to
expose liberal-hypocrish, but he completely and uncouthly disrespects The Constitution.

Finally, the New York Times Finally Figured-Out 'Cool Kids' Have Problems Later, reporting that young
teenagers in the cool crowd who tried to grow up too fast by hanging out with older teens, wearing
makeup, or drinking beer and stealing condoms often had problems later in life. [Regarding sex-roles,
"Always" Produced an ad that highlighted stereotypes governing What It Means To Throw Like A Girl.]

Finally, the Army's Apache helecopter-name is under assault, as the PC police call
helicopter name racist; in response, Veterans arent happy with a recent WaPo op-ed
which charged that the Apache, Comanche, Chinook, Lakota, Cheyenne and Kiowa
military vehicles were a greater symbolic injustice than the NFLs Washington
Redskins name. ,Go Figure.- Regarding the Redskins controversy, a column in the Inqy
claimed that Neshaminy officials overreacted when high-school journalists wanted to
boycott this word, which happens to be the name of the school mascot, as well.


Kurdistan

1721


Dr. Sherkoh Abbas *with whom Ive written a few op-eds] is now receiving greater publicity; he was
recently interviewed regarding the Kurdish Engine of Middle Eastern Democracy [with the translation
into English pending regarding another interview, ;- ].
Overall, Kurds See a Silver Lining in Iraq Cataclysm, for at least the Kurds in Northern Iraq are fighting
ISIS! The Kurds know they are screwed if ISIS takes over completely and know they cannot depend on
the Iraqi Army in the slightest to defend them. The Kurds have eked out an existence in the region for
centuries and they are not about to give up now. Thats why a Kurdish unit [which appears pretty well
trained and using what looks like U.S. equipment] took-out an ISIS position in Kirkuk during a night raid.
In contrasting actions, Obama backed U.S. military training for Syrian rebels [not mentioning the Kurds],
as Bibi announced support for Kurdish independence in Northern Iraq [the gravamen of our essays].


Pennsylvanias New Mandatory Holocaust Education LAW

Before delving into what has transpired during the past three days, it is desirable to emphasize the
importance of oversighting the process of educating youth; critics are worried, both with regard to
public education [American students learn about Hamas and Hezbollah without being told they are
terrorist entities and college [rot of intolerance at Swarthmore]; how this is happening has been detailed
in the book by Dinesh DSouza on America which, specifically elucidates how Bill Ayers became an
educator, observations that are particularly relevant tonight [after Former Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers
was interviewed by Megyn Kelly] when one tries to appreciate how very anti-American BHO has been.

As usual, central to these concerns is Common Core [Oklahoma GOP Rep. claimed
Common Core Is Indoctrinating Kids With Socialism; National Association of State Boards
of Education Sued OK Over Common Core Repeal; Battle Continued Between Louisiana
Gov. Jindal and State Superintendent over Common Core Exit; Connecticut Gov. Malloy
Moved Forward with Common Core, Saying Teachers Support Initiative; Common Core
Critics Speak Out in Texas; POLL: PUBLIC OPINION TURNS AGAINST COMMON CORE... IN
CALIFORNIA!; and a Common Core Sample Lesson Teaches 'Evolving Nature of the
Constitution.'

The phrase Have you no shame? was first uttered six decades ago to expose McCarthyism, but
applicability to events that transpired over the weekend seems apt; in an unprecedented editorial move,
a Comment by Laura Goldman was supplanted after I exposed its pervasive errors, parsing it line-by-line.
Indeed, her second posting was also in-error; there is no button offered to the public to alter what
he/she had posted, let alone remove it. Thus, she must have received the connivance of a powerful
member of the editorial staff of the Jewish Exponent; it would seem the goal was to rescue the actions
of the Federation [and its Harrisburg lobbyist] from being exposed as being rankly hypocritical.

{Because the letters are printed with the most-recent atop its predecessors, I wrote a
series of comments separately, and then posted them in reverse-chronological order;
this allows the reader to read down the page, rather than having to skip-around.}

This is what she initially posted:

Federation's Robin Schatz and the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition's Hank Butler deserve
all the credit for successful passage of this bill. They worked tirelessly despite opposition

1722

and abuse from overzealous pro mandate activists that would have rather a Holocaust
Education bill die than compromise. This bill is historic despite it not having a mandate.
It is the first time the words Holocaust education are enshrined in Pennsylvania statue.
The law calls for a survey which will tell us which school districts are teaching the
curriculum. It also calls for an advisory panel to advise the Pa Department of Education
on appropriate Holocaust curriculum.

This is what I posted in-reply:

Every sentence in the entry by Ms. Goldman is in-error; I cant figure-out which is worse,
her narrative or the journalistic deficiencies of Mr. Berger.

I painstakingly explained what transpired in two dozen entries, uploaded previously;
they are replete with hyperlinks that elaborate upon the blow-by-blow which occurred
during the past - year.

Although I had resolved to depend upon others to correct the record, I have been
prevailed upon to recapitulate key-clarifications that are necessary to weighand then
to consider the implications of the mendacity that has been evinced.

In the process of parsing the entry of Ms. Goldman, errors in the piece by Mr. Berger will
become glaring.

*

Federation's Robin Schatz and the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition's Hank Butler deserve
all the credit for successful passage of this bill.

Had these individuals not been aggressively and tenaciously opposed by Ms. Rhonda
Fink-Whitman and Mr. Chuck Feldman [and myself], a bill would have been passed that
would not have included a [delayed] mandate.

Thats right, absent from both this piece and this comment is SPECIFIC reference to the
fact that a mandate will be triggered if at least 90% of the schools do not voluntarily
comply within two years.

What is particularly appalling is that both know better; I spoke extensively with Ms.
Goldman in January regarding this particular concern; also, I spoke forcefully [nose-to-
nose] with Mr. Berger a few weeks ago @ the Federation, prompting him to correct the
aforementioned articlewhich he had to compose thrice before it approximated the
truth.

[a]

They worked tirelessly despite opposition and abuse from overzealous pro mandate
activists that would have rather a Holocaust Education bill die than compromise.


1723

Ms. Goldman attempts to perpetuate the fiction that we were abusive while
communicating with Harrisburg legislators, absent any documentation; indeed, Mr.
Berger was confronted when he wrote of this accusation but, sadly, he not only could
not provide specifics, but he also did not wish to attempt to research this issue.

Essentially, Ms. Goldman is issuing an accusation that Mr. Berger has, journalistically,
refused to scrutinize; it is most decidedly falseand they know it.

The proof that we were not overzealous is in the pudding because of the inclusion
of the [delayed] mandate. We refused to compromise on our principles, but we had
no problem with the final language because it found common-ground.

[b]

They worked tirelessly despite opposition and abuse from overzealous pro mandate
activists that would have rather a Holocaust Education bill die than compromise.

Ms. Goldman doesnt recognize the irony embedded within her assertion, because our
fear was that the Federation lobbyists preferred not having a bill passed [anticipating a
Democrat governor in 15+ than having an immediate mandate included; this is proven
by noting what Mr. Butler wrote and said.

Mr. Butler sent to all Senators [after we had prevailed upon the Senate Appropriations
Committee to do-the-right-thing] in which he strongly advised our efforts be reversed.
Also, Mr. Butler repeatedly was quoted in the Exponent issuing [unreferenced]
predictions that a mandate wouldnt be passed.

He was banking upon people depending upon his lobbying experience; we were
depending upon the legislators to recognize the urgency of this concern.

This bill is historic despite it not having a mandate; it is the first time the words
Holocaust education are enshrined in Pennsylvania statue.

This bill HAS a mandate *as detailed earlier+ and its historic nature is based upon the
fact that a fragmented statute has now been codified, for the unit of holocaust,
genocide and human rights violations will be ensconced within the curriculum.

Educating the legislators regarding this fact was complicated by the fact that two staff-
people [perhaps due to the prior lobbying of Mr. Butler] generated and refused to
correct a staff-memo regarding this issue; all members of the House Education
Committee had been informed falsely that this topic had already been covered in a
cursory fashion. Specifically, Messrs. Transue [who wrote the memo] and Miskin [who
refused to correct it] perpetuated a fiction that served the nefarious goals of Mr. Butler,
namely, to confuse the legislators.

We were forced to play whack-a-mole as the Federation lobbyists keep conjuring
roadblocks, the most notorious of which was that we were allegedly advocating an

1724

unfunded mandate; this accusation was taylor-made for a GOP-controlled Assembly,
and undoing the damage constituted an ongoing task.

The law calls for a survey which will tell us which school districts are teaching the
curriculum; it also calls for an advisory panel to advise the Pa Department of Education
on appropriate Holocaust curriculum.

Ms. Goldman failed to explain the rationale for the survey, namely, to discern if there
has been sufficient compliance [and to scrutinize the lesson-plans employed]; again, this
is a key-feature to what has been enacted for, if there is insufficient voluntary
compliance [a concept that Mr. Berger totally ignored], the mandate kicks-in.

THEREFORE, if any further clarifications are desired, please feel free to call me @
215=333-4900.

This is what I wrote earlier today:

SCANDAL!

Someone in authority @ the Exponent had to have been complicit [over the weekend!]
in replacing the "before" Comment by Ms. Goldman" [to be reprinted infra] with the
"after" Comment [which couldn't have been written before I had blown-up her
credibility in subsequent [segmented] Comments [which can be read in descending-
order].

"before"

Laura Goldman
Federation's Robin Schatz and the Pennsylvania Jewish Coalition's Hank Butler deserve
all the credit for successful passage of this bill. They worked tirelessly despite opposition
and abuse from overzealous pro mandate activists that would have rather a Holocaust
Education bill die than compromise. This bill is historic despite it not having a mandate.
It is the first time the words Holocaust education are enshrined in Pennsylvania statue.
The law calls for a survey which will tell us which school districts are teaching the
curriculum. It also calls for an advisory panel to advise the Pa Department of Education
on appropriate Holocaust curriculum.

Perhaps now that the Exponent has seen the necessity to revise a reader's Comment,
perhaps it will now appreciate the wisdom in fixing its blatantly one-sided "news"-
coverage.

The below-comment by Ms. Goldman was ALTERED [despite the fact that there is no
such alternative available when posting a Comment on this website]; thus, in the
interest of proper journalism [and so that my subsequent parsing makes sense, you are
provided the opportunity to read the "before" and the "after" [which explains why the
"after" version could not have been composed BEFORE I had completely trashed her
initial input].

1725


Here is her current comment:

Laura Goldman
HB1424 on Holocaust Education is not a mandate. Some of the commentators are
misinformed. The bill requires school districts to offer Holocaust education if a
statewide survey finds that less than 90% of the schools are not teaching about the
Holocaust and genocide,. The school district is required to offer a course. Students are
not required to take the course to graduate.

And this is what I wrote later-on today:

Ms. Goldman continues to upload lies onto this website.

She wrote [falsely]: "Students are not required to take the course to graduate."

The text of the bill states otherwise [emphasis added]:

"Section 1554. Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights Violations Instruction.--(a) (1)
Beginning with school year 2015-2016, each school entity may offer instruction in the
Holocaust, genocide and human rights violations to students. The instruction shall be
integrated within the social studies and language arts courses of study required in
accordance with State Board of Education regulations. Instruction may also be
integrated into other appropriate courses of study."

Specifically, this unit SHALL be integrated within courses REQUIRED by the PDE.

Ms. Goldman would be best-advised [after having had her prior letter deleted over the
weekend] to follow the infamous adage advising someone who has embarrassed herself
to "stop digging."

d=0&body=H&type=B&bn=1424

In my view, my having assiduously functioned as a truth-squad has resulted in the revelation of the fact
that the Emperors and Empresses are sporting no clothingand know it. The intensity of the effort of
Federation to portray itself as having won was what drove posting of Ms. Goldmans initial Comment
andafter it had been promptly debunkedwas what prompted her incorrect posting this-a.m. Thus,
inexcusable it was [after so many prior errors] for a climactic news-article to eschew mentioning the
Delayed-Mandate that we had fought so hard to achieveand against which Federation had adopted an
unyielding posture. Thus, the Exponent had sacrificed its independence by becoming a PR-organ.


Joe Paterno

Regarding AG-Kanes report on the Sandusky investigation by Corbett, the fact that she misspoke
regarding whether the delay allowed the perpetrator to abuse more kids is tangential, for the major
concern is whether the delay was justified in conjunction with having so few investigators assigned;
indeed, its desirable to note the Mystery tip that broke Sandusky case, but its far more important to

1726

gauge the accuracy of Corbetts incorrect claim *Gov: I've never condemned Paterno, 'never will'].
Therefore, I blogged heavily and repeatedly on the politics pa website detailing corbetts alleged refusal
to attack JoePa; the interested-observer is invited to read the comments in ascending order.

Of personal interest also, are Details of UPMC-Highmark deal; it may be recalled that I
tried legally to preclude the creation of Highmark, more than 15 years ago, only to be
rebuffed by AG-Corbett [during his first stint] after he reversed the decision of his
antitrust division; when I inquired of him regarding this issue during his gubernatorial
campaign [while he attended a picnic hosted by Rep. Curt Schroder], he said he did not
recall the details of the events [that, then, were a decade remote]. It is also worthy of
note that PinnacleHealth-Penn State Hershey is the new giant in PA.

After the budget has been signed-off, the only way Corbett can improve his polling [which dropped
precipitously from 2010 to 2012] will be to demonstrate legislative achievements that can be viewed as
fulfilling his campaign promises.


Sports

With the Phillies floundering and the Eagles not yet in-training, its necessary to note
why the Sixers drafted Embiid, then traded for a Croatian forward and Why LeBron
James signing with the Sixers is gaining traction; it is also desirable to weigh Philadelphia
Flyers 2014 NHL Draft Picks: Grades, Results and Analysis. It is also gratifying to note
achievements in more obscure sports [116 MPH World Record Breaking Lacrosse Shot]
and the emotionalism that prompted the NBA to Draft Isaiah Austin, the College
Basketball Star Who Was Diagnosed With a [Career-Ending] Marfans Syndrome.


Racism

The GOP is the Party of Civil Rights, a fact that is lost after a half-century of media-indoctrination;
inasmuch as Blacks havent emerged from inner-city poverty, it has been posited that liberals should
stop trying to help black Americans. Part of this ongoing obfuscation is when three examples of
reverse-racism are noted, just in the past week: Typical-Liberal Whoopi Goldberg felt she could Silence
a Guest by Spouting [reverse] Racism; Charlie Rangel claimed the Tea Party Is 'Same Group' Of 'White
Crackers' Who Fought Civil Rights; and Spike Lee said America is addicted to violence fomented by the
NRA, Video-Games and John Wayne.

Disappointing when one recalls how he made-his-mark in City Council campaigning
against tobacco, Philadelphias Mayor claimed Young Black Men Are Not Responsible
For Their Actions; this contradicted sages such as Ben Carson, M.D. and Bill Cosby. Thus,
a commentator wrote: Michael Nutter is well, a nutter, which is Brit-slang for a crazy
person. Hey, at least he has that truth in labeling thing going for him. He penned a
piece for theHuffington Post today in which he exposes myths that are keeping young
black men from succeeding. Not only doesnt he disprove any myths, he essentially says
that black men are not responsible for their own actions and their only saving grace is
massive government intervention. Like I said: a nutter.

[through his anti-colonialism]; quotes lefties such as Fareed Zakaria, noting that his
book-title The Post-American World illustrates how quickly the Founders New Order
for the Ages [novus ordo seclorum] is declining [indicated by the stagnant economy, the
increasing debt, and the shrinking military+; introduces the five Founders who
influenced BHO [Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, Edward Said, and Roberto
Mangabeira Unger]; notes that lefties/progressives feel the USA is predicated on theft
as the basis of Howard Zinns classic text *A Peoples History of the United States];
concludes that the basis for this critique is attacking capitalism; and posits that the
concept of wealth creation is uniquely American *and must be restored ASAP+.
Chapter 2 contrasts the observations of two Frenchmen [Michel Foucault and Alexis de
Toqueville+ in both macro and micro fashions *inserting personal observations
regarding the latter and, perhaps, quietly conveying why he abhors homosexuality].
Chapter 3 notes that the Spirit of 1776 is a [legal] immigrant spirit, invoking his personal
travel from India to compare/contrast Americas individualism from prior concentration
of power/wealth in regal fashions [citing the fact that patents/copyrights were specified
as enumerated Constitutional powers in Article I Section 8] and praising a meritocracy.
Chapter 4 explores BHOs five Founders within the larger context of how they have
created a contrasting Spirit of 1968 which has been perpetuated via educators who have
infiltrated the educational infrastructure. Chapter 5 focuses on how two Alinski-ites
[BHO and Hillary] are poised to destroy the Spirit of 1776 [and, indeed, America] by
invoking a four-part strategy [polarization, war, organization and deception]. {Also, note
that Bill Ayers Called Accused Deserter Bowe Bergdahl a Hero in FNC Interview, while
Megyn Kelly Told Bill Ayers: You Sound Like Osama Bin Laden.}

I have summarized less than 1/3 of the book, which everyone is invited to read and to
memorize, for the basic concepts in this book provide an appreciation of how BHO
continues to flood the zone with his radical, well-strategized and smoothly-
implemented actions. Noting, for example, that Canada is now building a pipeline to
China rather than to New Orleans, it is now clear that the damage is irreversible. Yet,
perhaps it can be mitigated, starting with the need to defeat all Dems who defend him.
{Consult also an analysis defining the Distinction between Liberals and Progressives.}

In PA, after passage of the gops no-tax budget appeared-to-be-on-track, it was passed in the PA SENATE
and the PA House, but the GOV WOULDN'T SIGN because CORBETT WANTS PENSION REFORM; thus, the
Budget stalemate continued, as Lawmakers planned to watch 4
th
of July fireworks at home, leaving
pension issue unresolved. Know that PA services were not interrupted by Corbett's budget review and
that Corbett is not saying much about budget; Corbett is mullng veto of Legislature money to push
pension reform as both Houses in the General Assembly are churning; while GOP Senators Rafferty,
Tomlinson are said to be holding up the Senate's hybrid pension push, the PA House stalled pension
reform, sending a plan to committee; this was viewed as a DIGIROLAMO POWER MOVE but, regardless,
PA PENSION REFORM WAS DEALT A SERIOUS BLOW. [Know that 3 House Rs (from Southeastern PA)
voted 'no' on PA budget (Gene DiGirolamo, John Taylor and Nick Miccarelli).] The implications of this
impasse were experienced in Philly [PA Senate passes $2-pack Philly cigarette tax; Philly cigarette tax bill
heads to uncertain fate; Philly's request for school funding-cigarette tax adds to drama; Philly schools
budget has $93M gap; and Philly defends $22M tax forgiveness to SEPTA.] {In the interim, PA bolstered
the pension system amid deficit concerns.}

In other statewide news with national implications, Barletta said Agency eyes Hazleton
building as refugee center for immigration crisis and, thus, Barletta is wary over
undocumented minors who might be Hazleton bound. Casinos allegedly show why
taxing Marcellus Shale gas will help Pa. 62,000 UPMC employees have 'work day'
smoking ban. Cops to charge vendor over shooting at gun show.

Regarding the gubernatorial race, there is No coup de grce, as a new F&M POLL showed Corbett still
trails Wolf big; I blogged extensively on this issue on PoliticsPA within two seemingly-divergent contexts
[Budget and Sandusky]. Regarding the former, I elucidated why I was thrilled that corbett-refused-to-
sign-budget, citing increased recognition that Corbett is [finally] confronting the unions as they affect
the three major unfulfilled promises of 2010 [Paycheck Protection, Pension Reform, and State Stores].

The focus on the latter also was split between distilling the essential concern with Corbett and the level
of culpability of JoePa, noting that Penn State now leads US in reported sex offenses; ignored was the
fact that the DA ASSOCIATION HAS CRITICIZED KANE AND BACKED SANDUSKY PROSECUTORS because
[1]it is R-dominated and [2]it did not capture key-points unearthed in my analysis of available data.
It should be recalled that SARA GANIM of The Patriot-News first published of this scandal [3/31/2011]
{see p. 247 of the Moulton Report} and that JoePa provided an Interview Three Weeks Before Firing, and
know that PA court won't speed up Spanier lawsuit v. Freeh, based on the claim that there were
missteps in Freeh's PSU report [if, for no other reason, many key-people werent interviewed+. My view
is summarized on the web-page upon which Politics pa conducted a reader-poll focused on whether
paterno-should-be-condemned-for-his-conduct-concerning-the-sandusky-scandal; I showed why more
information must be weighed by factfinders before retroactively adjudging JoePa [noting the ~50-50
straw-voting split], and I distilled my two-year critique of Corbett thusly {see pp. 112-113}:


1730

From May 2009 through early 2011, the Sandusky investigation was conducted largely
by three individuals, SDAG Jonelle Eshbach, Agent Anthony Sassano, and Tpr. Scott
Rossman.In 2011, after Michael McQueary was identified as a witness and after
investigators learned about the 1998 allegations, the investigative resources devoted to
the investigation increased significantly.Without the additional investigative resources,
the systematic canvas of Second Mile participants that led to the discovery of J.S.
(Victim 3) in the summer of 2011 might not have been possible.

Therefore, the key-question becomes why systematic canvassing wasnt ordered by
Corbett to be done by more staff, starting after the case had been referred in 2009.

Regarding the murder of the three Israeli teens and their moving funeral, emotions are enhanced when
it is noted that Arabs stoned ambulances carrying corpses; NETANYAHU vowed 'Hamas will pay' and
Weighs strikes; predictably, Obama advised he Slow down [ignoring shelling from Gaza and not having
timed the provision of such even-handed advice when Israelis have been victimized+. Noting that
terrorism-strikes-at-children, the Recording Of Kidnapped Teen's Frantic Call To Police demonstrated the
children had been shot immediately after they Put Up a Serious Fight, information known three weeks
ago but withheld; this was predictable when no one claimed credit for the abduction and no
communicated ransom/swap offers. Israeli intelligence believes the Hamas cell that carried out the
abduction was run by a Hamas leader who lives openly in Turkey. My focus is to support institution of
the death-penalty in Israel and to help to expose BHOs Bias Against Israel, which has led to consist
adoption of policies whose effect is to make Hamas rule in Gaza easier; Secretaries Clinton and Kerry
insist the U.S. taxpayer should continue funding the Palestinian Authority even if it forms a "unity
government" with Hamas, for example. Meanwhile, Jewish-Lefties are beyond obnoxious; the NY-Times
equated-Mother-of-Dead-Israeli-Teen-with-Mother-of-Dead-Terrorist and Rabbi Arthur Waskow decried
the cold-blooded military occupation and the impotent rage of the occupied {a rationalization?}.

The Obama Era and the Collapse of Trust in Our Governing Institutions

According to a new survey by the Gallup organization:
Americans confidence in all three branches of the U.S. government has
fallen, reaching record lows for the Supreme Court (30%) and Congress
(7%), and a six-year low for the presidency (29%). The presidency had
the largest drop of the three branches this year, down seven percentage
points from its previous rating of 36%.
These findings are a powerful indictment of the Obama presidency. But they are also
part of a broader, extraordinary collapse of trust in government weve witnessed during
the last 50 years.
After his landslide election in 1964, Lyndon Johnson proclaimed that Americans were
living in the most hopeful times in all the years since Christ was born in Bethlehem.
Not exactly.
In fact, in less than four years America lurched from one of our more tranquil political
periods to perhaps the most tumultuous since the Civil War. It happened in the blink of
a historical eye, and it was driven by a complex set of factors, some the result of public
policy and some not, but eventually the accretion heavily implicated government.
The public, especially young people, began to turn against the Vietnam War, to the
point that President Johnsonbattered and brokendecided not to run for reelection in
1968. Student protests spread, including onto college campuses. The nation was
convulsed during the struggle over civil rights, while cities burned in the aftermath of
the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Robert Kennedy was murdered just two
months laterand only five years after his brother was gunned down in Dallas. We
experienced the killings at Kent State and the March on the Pentagon, Woodstock and
Watergate, black power salutes in the Mexico City Olympics and violence at the
Democratic Convention in Chicago. Social pathologiesincluding crime, drug use, out-of-
wedlock births, those on welfare, and moreworsened. And trust in government eroded
at an extraordinary pace.
According to the Pew Research Center, in 1964, 76 percent of the public said they
trusted government in Washington to do what was right most of the time or just about
always. Just a decade later, the figure had fallen to 36 percent. By 1980, it dropped to 25
percent. In only a decade and a half, trust in government fell by 50 percentage points.
We have never seen anything quite like it.
While public trust increased during the presidency of Ronald Reagan (to 47 percent), it
dropped sharply following it. By the summer of 1994 public trust was at 17 percent, the
lowest recorded. Those figures fluctuated during the Clinton second term, falling to 24
percent during the run-up to the Clinton impeachment trial but rising to more than 40
percent by the end of the Clinton presidency (June 2000). During George W. Bushs first
term, public trust in government spiked to more than 60 percent in the aftermath of the

1733

9/11 attacks. But by October 2008, in the midst of the financial crisis, trust was again
down to 17 percent.
This deep, durable unhappiness with government, and the longing of the public to once
again believe in it, was something that Barack Obama brilliantly tapped into during his
campaign for the presidency. The centerpiece of his run was not a particular policy; it
was the promise to elevate our political debates and restore government to a respected
place in our national life.
Yet here we are, in the sixth year of the Obama presidency, with the level of confidence
in his presidency (29 percent) lower than at a comparable point for any of his
predecessors and the ratings for the legislative and judicial branches at or near their
lowest points to date.
I cant say that these judgments are unwarranted. But Im not convinced that such
corrosive mistrust of our governing institutions is particularly good for our country,
either. In a free nation, massive distrust of our governing institutions is a self-indictment
of sorts. Government is, after all, the offspring of our own choice, in the words of
George Washington, who added it has
a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its
authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures are
duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty.
Today respect for governments authority has never been lower, and the American
people cannot be happy with this state of affairs or with themselves. In the wake of the
Obama era, where expectations were raised to such dizzying heights, only to collapse
into ruins, the public will be understandably wary about the next person promising to
heal the planet and repair the world, who claims the power to halt the rise of the ocean
tides, who says that this time will be different than all the rest and declares that we are
the ones weve been waiting for. (To remind yourself of the stratospheric expectations
set by Mr. Obama, Id urge you to watch this short clip of Obama in 2008.)
Given where we are, it seems to me that the proper response from a Republican
candidate is not to celebrate in this distrust but to help correct it; to candidly and with
some sophistication explain why its happened and to show how a modern conservative
governing agenda (perhaps something along these lines) can help restore trust in a
responsible, limited government. With the Obama presidency lying in ashes, and with
liberalism itself terribly damaged, an opportunity exists. Who on the right will seize it?

Biden is NOT Vindicated on Iraq

Here is a terrifying, but oddly explanatory, opening sentence from the Sunday edition of
the New York Times on Iraq: From the first summer of the Obama
administration, Iraq has been considered Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.s account.
While giving such an important strategic portfolio to the man who famously is on the
wrong side of nearly every foreign-policy issue may not have been the best idea, the

1734

article at first sounds like itll at least be a demotion of some kind. After all, a self-
declared caliphate is currently burning Iraq to the ground.
But no. Believe it or not, that sentence serves as the introduction to the Timess attempt
to claim that the current mess in Iraq is Bidens vindicationor at least the vindication of
his proposal in 2006 to divide Iraq into three pieces. The country currently looks headed
that way, goes the logic, and so perhaps Biden was right after all.
Wrong. Lets first dispense with the faulty logic employed by the Times. Just because
Biden suggested something that is now happening does not mean the United States
should have facilitated that outcome. There are various reasons for this, one of which
Christian Caryl reported a few days ago:
For the past 2,000 years, Iraq has been home to a distinct and vibrant culture of Eastern
Christianity. Now that storied history appears to be coming to an end. Even if the ISIS
forces are ultimately driven back, its hard to imagine that the Mosul Christians who
have fled will see a future for themselves in an Iraq dominated by the current Shiite
dictatorship of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, which enjoys strong support from Iran.
Its worth adding, perhaps, that Christians arent the only ones in this predicament. Iraq
is also home to a number of other religious minorities endangered by the countrys
polarization into two warring camps of Islam. The Yazidis follow a belief system that has
a lot in common with the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism; about a half a
million of them live in northern Iraq. The Mandaeans, numbering only 30,000 or so, are
perhaps the worlds last remaining adherents of Gnosticism, one of the offshoots of
early Christianity. By tradition many Mandaeans are goldsmiths a trade that has
made them prominent targets for abduction in the post-invasion anarchy of Iraq. Losing
these unique cultures makes the world a poorer place.
Feeding Iraqs sectarianism meant obliterating in some cases its ethnic minority
communities. Thats what is happening now, and I dont think Biden or his staff wishes
they could take credit for it.
Now, theres an important distinction Biden makes: he insists he didnt want three
separate countriesa true partitionbut instead three semi-autonomous territories with
a central government. Yet a look at Iraq today tells you all you need to know about how
well the center could hold under such a federal system. What that division would do is
accelerate the disintegration.
Once you devolve power from the center and encourage sectarian division, that division
will only concretize leaving the federal center without enough enforcement power. A
federal system can thrive in certain conditionsBiden himself is currently vice president
of a federal republicbut one important condition is a commitment to a certain level of
nationalism. Iraqs borders never possessed the legitimacy such a state would need. The
legitimacy, instead, was held by sectarian loyalties.
Theres also more than a bit of irony in the supposed vindication of Bidens old idea.
The tone of the story is that if only we had listened to Biden, things might have been
different. But the story opens up by stating, explicitly, that we have been listening to
Biden all along. Iraq has been his portfolio. The truth is that neither of Bidens ideas

1735

about how to solve the Iraq puzzle were good ones, and the current situation there is
demonstrating the failure of boththe failure of one leading to the failure of the other.
More than anything else, Iraqs dissolution is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The
Obama/Biden team was elected on a platform of ending Americas involvement in the
Iraq war as soon as the president could make the retreat happen. When that took place,
which was before it was strategically sensible, the fragile calm achieved but still being
secured when Obama came into office was lost. The administrations overall policy has
been disastrous, and that did not happen because no one took Joe Bidens advice.

Turkeys Last Chance?

Turks will go to the polls on August 10 to elect a new president, the first time that office
will be filled by direct election. This weekend, incumbent Abdullah Gl, a Justice and
Development Party (AKP) acolyte, has announced he will step down and the AKP will
determine its nominee on July 1. The partys nominee will likely be Recep Tayyip
Erdoan, Turkeys Islamist, corrupt, and increasingly authoritarian prime minister.
Rather than roll over and accept Turkeys slide into autocracy or kleptocracy without a
fight, the center-left Republican Peoples Party (CHP) and Nationalist Movement Party
(MHP) have nominated a joint candidate, Ekmeleddin hsanolu, the former head of the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Turkish history reflects the significance of
such a choice: For decades, the CHP and MHP were at each others throats. Gangs
affiliated with each targeted supporters of the other. The heightened political
polarization in Washington today is nothing compared to what the CHP and MHP
wrought. What happened in Turkey is as if Valerie Jarrett and Karl Rove suddenly
decided to mount a joint candidate against a greater threat.
I spent the last week in Turkey, talking to several CHP and MHP officials as well as
contacts who arent involved in politics about the hsanolu choice and Turkeys way
forward. Admittedly, many CHP and MHP members are uneasy: hsanolus credentials
are primarily because of his Islamic scholarship. While members bend over backwards to
say he is not an Islamist, he is far different from the typical CHP and MHP candidate, and
their respective bases suggest as much. Some outside the parties suggest that the
choice of hsanolu effectively acknowledges the end of secularism in Turkey, although
party leaders hotly deny this.
What there does appear to be consensus about, though, is that an Erdoan presidency
will permanently end the Republic of Turkey as anyone knows it. Erdoan is increasingly
blunt in his desire to remake Turkey and Turkish society, hence his declaration that We
will raise a religious generation. Some politicians even suggest Erdoan sees himself
more as a caliph responsive to the Islamic umma (community) rather than simply a
leader for Turks. The autocracy under which Turkey now suffers was reflected in the
debate about which Medvedev might succeed Erdoan as prime minister.
If Erdoan wins the presidencyeither in the first round on August 10 or, if he receives
less than 50 percent, in the second round on August 24then Turks believe he will
increasingly rule as a dictator, remaking the once more ceremonial presidency even as

1736

his old party withers under his thumb or falls apart. Indeed, given accusations that the
AKP has fiddled with ballot boxes, some Turkish politicians suggested that Erdoan
would automatically gain a fraud bonus of perhaps five percent, which the opposition
will have to overcome.
Under Erdoan, Turkey has shifted its diplomatic posture away from Europe and toward
the Middle East. Rather than even align with the more secular dictators of the Middle
East, Erdoan has aligned instead with religious radicals, whether in Qatar, the Muslim
Brotherhood, or Hamas. Elections matter. But after 12 years of electoral wins, the
August polls might mean the end of meaningful elections in Turkey, for an Erdoan
victory would likely mean years more of using the institutions of state to attack anyone
in politics, business, or society who dares to stand in his way.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/232375232/Action-Items-CLXXXI-Gun-Laws-Mandatory-Holocaust-
Education-Law-Murder-of-Israeli-Teens-Foreign-Policy-Corbett

It is first desirable to provide some levity [sleight of hand], to reference two pet-topics [gun-laws and the
Mandatory Holocaust Education Law], and then to recapitulate issues involving foreign policy
[particularly on the Middle East, as usual] and domestic policy; thereafter, the repeatedly-deferred
discussion of politics is to be probed, focused on how the GOP could optimize midterm performance.

Regarding gun-laws, it is claimed in THE ATLANTIC that DOCTORS are the MOST QUALIFIED TO DECIDE
WHO'S FIT TO CARRY A GUN, emphasizing the doctors role-in-stopping-gun-violence. It may be recalled
that I feared this could emerge following publication of sub-optimal gun-themed articles in the academic
literature, and this is what had prompted me to write a letter-to-the-editor [recently published in the
Annals of Internal Medicine] intended to warn against efforts to invoke faulty medical studies to justify
enhancing gun-confiscation laws. [In the process, I debunked both an allegedly-scientific review and an
accompanying editorial; neither author refuted the observations I had made.] Therefore, the reader
should be forewarned against efforts to politicize the sacred patient-doctor relationship. {Also noted is
the fact that a Man is Suing after he was arrested for Legally Carrying a Gun in Connecticut.}

Regarding the Mandatory Holocaust Education Law, it was again necessary to correct-the-record being
generated by the Jewish Exponent; in the process, hyperlinks were used to skewer [justifiably] defenders
of the Federations dogged lobbying *statewide and, sadly, locally] in opposition to the Mandate.
Indeed, when railing against the dissemination of misinformation [in both the articles and Comments],
some suggested gently that [when uploading a bunch of 12-line comments, abiding by the posting limit]
I was perhaps becoming a bit overbearing; publication of two articles by national-entities illustrates
precisely why I had painstakingly prioritized avoidance of unfortunate outcomes. Although one article
was just-fine [JNS+, one wasnt *JTA]; the former contained original scholarship, whereas the latter
simply lifted the first few graphs from the original online article [which has since been supplemented
following dissemination of my strong protestations, vide infra]. Note how RFW provided a succinct
summary of the salient features of what occurred [to her for a year, for Chuck for two years, and for
myself during the past half-year]:

How unfortunate that the Jewish Exponent, week after week, chooses to confuse its
own readers by carefully wording its articles so that they dance around the issue of the
requirement. YES VIRGINIA, THERE MOST CERTAINLY IS A REQUIREMENT. This bill was a
compromise, It starts out as a "MAY" and ends in a necessary "SHALL." That's how it
passed unanimously. It seems as if the Exponent doesn't really want you to know that.
This same one-sided story has been cut, pasted, and virtually reprinted by the Exponent
over and over again for the last several weeks. This week they even plucked our photo
of Gov. Corbett from right off the blog at www.94maidens.com!

Shame on you, Exponent!

The Exponent's coverage of this bill has been lazy, blatantly biased, and irresponsible. If
anyone wants to see a copy of the bill and read the language, WHICH INCLUDES A

1740

REQUIREMENT, for themselves feel free to contact rhonda@94maidens.com. We'll be
happy to send you a copy! The victory of this historic bill doesn't go to those who
worked hard for a requirement or those who fought tooth and nail against it. It goes to
Pennsylvania's children and to the future of the human race. Thanks to all who helped!
Glad we got it done.

The reader who wishes not to burden him-/herself with reading all my entries can, instead, simply know
that an attempt to indulge in "historical revisionism" has been thoroughly rebutted and rebuffed. Far
from justifying any claim that the Federation [in Philly and in Harrisburg] deserved kudos for the passage
of this bill, the reader should know that its lobbyists fought us tooth-and-nail, lest a mandate be
enacted; the more they protest, the more it is obvious that WE WON and THEY LOST this struggle. As
noted by Ms. RFW, actually, it's the kids who won, for they will necessarily learn of what transpired in
Nazi Germany [and elsewhere, prior thereto and subsequently].

It is necessary to document my concern regarding how the Exponent has been
[successfully] prevailed upon to alter the Comments section of this web-page.

One need only note the fact that all entries are timed [with the most recent atop, except
of a "reply" has been composed in-isolation].

Then note [assuming no one changes what i now see] that the first entry is by Ms.
Goldman [with its having supplanted the one that I'd trashed, line-by-line] and its
timeline is "June 29 at 8:05pm."


Then note that, except for reactions to a few comments, all other "fresh" comments are
posted in chronological order, as one ascends, with the most-recent atop [in this case,
this entry].

Therefore, clearly, her original entry was replaced, with the individual who did this
[having access to the Exponent and, thus, presumably an employee thereof] having
been so sloppy so as to have failed to place her "revision" in its proper location [i.e.,
AFTER the comments by myself that she was attempting to rebut, albeit without a shred
of justification].

I'm told by an individual who has known the innards of the Exponent for decades...that
this constitutes an unprecedented series-of-events.

The damage she does is to perpetuate--without justification--the charge that our
lobbying efforts were somehow abusive; that this claim had been disseminated in a
prior Exponent article was the source of dismay when two conversations [one via
'phone, one in-person] were held with the author of the piece [Mr. Berger].

His lack of journalistic "curiosity" was itself curious, allowing for this claim to go-viral.

For example, the persistence of this grossly-incomplete portrayal of what happened [in

1741

the lede] has allowed the JTA to lift just these assertions and to disseminate an
inaccurate datum.

This is why I assiduously work to ensure the record is as accurate as possible [employing
hyperlinks].

The SCANDAL continues to fester, suggesting that assiduous tracking and truth-telling
will ultimately prompt people to reveal themselves as not-to-be-trusted.

Ms. Goldman, TODAY, tweeted the following: "Pa didn't pass a delayed mandate If 90%
of SD dont offer Holocaust ed, they are required to offer Students arent required to
take"

This is totally false.

The definition of a delayed-mandate is, indeed, to force all 501 School Boards to include
this unit into their curricula [and to supply copies thereof to the PA Dept of Ed] if 90%
haven't complied within two years' time.

Furthermore, as per the below-quote from the law, the unit must be integrated within
required courses [social studies and language arts], although it can also be probed
[presumably, in greater depth] via electives.

My more recent postings have appeared transiently, but then have been removed from the website;
indeed, the most recent [from earlier today] simply noted the need to monitor how the curriculum is
promulgated, so that the students gain an appreciation for how to interpret current events, as well.




The murder of the three Israeli teenagers has triggered what might be perceived as
collateral damage that is conveyed via this mind-blowing message from a victim,
Mohammad Zoabi; someone should attempt to discern how he became so discerning:


1742



It was the end of the school year

I was getting ready for my History Bagrut exam

I was doing some teen craps

I only expressed my mind, something that every person can do in
democratic countries like Israel

I showed sympathy for the 3 Innocent Israelis who were kidnapped by
terrorists

I got attacked, criticized and threatened by Arabs and Anti Israelis from
all over the globe among them was MK Haneen Zoabi

My mom reported the police, I had security around me and I had to
move to a secured place.

I googled my name in English, I saw breaking news; Israeli Arab teen
makes waves after slamming the kidnapping

I googled my name is Hebrew; MK relative Mohammad Zoabi is a proud
Zionist-Upsets his Family

I googled my name in Arabic.I wish I havent, I saw; Videos on me
being kidnapped and killed,

Shameful pictures on me with unbelievable descriptions.

All existed only for speaking up for the Middle Easts only Democracy
and speaking up against terrorism

All that was short while before I was informed by reliable security

1743

sources that my life is in danger and that theres an attempt to kidnap
me to the PA Ter. and harm me,

It took me a while to realize it all; I reviewed my self and my beliefs but
found nothing wrong about them.

I reviewed the way I expressed my mind; its not the best way but at
least Im not encouraging hate the way Haneen Zoabi does

What i have done was, speaking up my mind, defending my country and
my people; I mean if I wouldnt be able to express my love to my
country inside my country where else could I express it?

My name is Mohammad Zoabi, 16 year old Israeli Zionist Arab Muslim;

Israeli-I was born in a country called Israel; same way French are born in
France, Iranians in Iran. And hell yeah Im proud for being Israeli

Zionist-Simply I believe in the Jewish peoples right of self determination
in their homeland; The land of Israel

Arab-My 1
st
mother language is Arabic; My Ethnic background is Arab.

Muslim-I believe in one God and respect all Gods prophets and
religions;

Moses (Judaism), Jesus (Christianity) and Mohammad (Islam)

I see myself as a human being above anything else, a human being who
wants to create a better world for all

I Mohammad Zoabi announce that Im ready to give up my life for the
sake of a better future for us, our children and all the coming
generations of Mankind.

May Israel be blessed

May peace come upon us and all our Middle Eastern neighbors

May we have a better future full of Peace, love and a want to Co-exist

Always remember; No matter how different we are, we are eventually
Human beings who very soon may release the last breath and give the
worlds responsibility for the new generation

Remember; Life is too short to have enemies

May you all be blessed,

1744


Praying for a better world for all;

Mohammad Zoabi

In addition to yesterdays online funeral, short-videos are available that show Israeli solidarity in both
hope and mourning [text only], that illustrate the priority of the Temple Mount to Judaism [over Islam],
that reveal its latest combat vehicle that could provide a DISproportionate response [c/o Martin Sheen
of The West Wing+ to terrorism, that show ARAB-Apartheid, and that simplify the political conflict.
[And when assessing Islamic Propaganda, note that when Arabs have accused Israel or settlers of
killing Arabs, it has often turned-out that Arabs themselves had committed the deed (and sometimes
there is a SEXUAL BACK-STORY which emerges subsequently); when assessing BHOs behavior, note that
Israel is contending with a Jew-Hating Obama Administration.

How Palestinian Arab [Terrorists] Think

By Dr. Arieh Eldad an M.D. at Hadassah Hospital in Israel


I was instrumental in establishing the "Israeli National Skin Bank", which is the largest in the world. The
National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for war time or mass casualty situations.

This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the
Chairman of plastic surgery.

This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza, who was hospitalized in Soroka
Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned her.

Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair.

We supplied all the needed Homografts for her treatment. She was successfully treated by my friend and
colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and discharged to return to Gaza.

She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheva.

One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt.

She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life.

1745


It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.

This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel. It is not a territorial
conflict. This is a civilizational conflict, or rather a war between civilization & barbarism.

Bibi (Netanyahu) gets it, Obama does not.

I have never written before asking everyone to please forward onwards so that as many as possible can
understand radical Islam and what awaits the world if it is not stopped.

An update on the pension crisis and state budget in PA


1748

Governor Tom Corbett has fought hard over the past three and a half years to build a
stronger Pennsylvania that lays a solid foundation for our children and grandchildren. It
wasn't easy for Governor Corbett to stabilize things when he inherited a $4.2 billion
budget deficit from the previous administration, but that's exactly what Governor
Corbett did; he put an end to the reckless government spending practices that increased
taxes and created a weaker Pennsylvania.

Our Commonwealth has come a long way under Governor Tom Corbett's leadership.
Unemployment has gone from 8.2 percent the day he was elected to 5.6 percent today -
a five-year low. Our state has also created over 175,000 new private sector jobs and we
now have more people working in the private sector than at any other point in state
history. That's a stronger Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, our state is facing a pension crisis that threatens to destroy the
financial stability of our state. If we do not address this crisis, it would be catastrophic
to the Pennsylvania taxpayers. Consider these sobering facts on our state's pension
crisis:

Within four years, our pension liabilities will be twice the size of our annual state
budget.
For every new dollar of revenue generated in Pennsylvania, $.60 cents goes to new
pension liabilities.
If we do not act to address the pension crisis, the Commonwealth faces a potential
credit downgrade, driving borrowing costs higher, and further straining future budgets.
Pension costs are also a major cost driver for local school districts and has led to
increasing property taxes.

Governor Corbett has repeatedly sounded the alarm on the need to address this crisis
and has encouraged the state legislature to include meaningful pension reform as part
of their 2014-2015 state budget agreement. Unfortunately, the legislature has failed to
address this critical issue. Governor Corbett is committed to working with the
legislature to pass a meaningful pension reform bill, and has decided to withhold his
signature from the budget, as he reviews its impact on the people of Pennsylvania.

Governor Corbett means it when he says that he didn't come to Harrisburg to make
friends - he came here to build a stronger Pennsylvania, and that is what he's fighting for
each and every day.

[FLASH: PA House Human Services Committee voted to send the pension reform bill
back to House floor]

Part One

Having covered all the issues that arent purely-political, its desirable to synthesize a plan to achieve
GOP victories @ all levels of government EXCEPT when a candidate articulates awareness of how very
EVIL BHO has become [or, perhaps, always was]. The Dem can sculpt a message that takes the form of a
formal recognition that the Foreign Policy has been disastrous *such as decrying BHOs having ended the
economic sanctions against Iran], but the message must be sent that there is a Dem-Party that is not so
profoundly ideological *regardless of whether one thinks BHO is or isnt exceeding modern liberalism+.
And the Republican must espouse views pushed by the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement;
emphasizing limited government, de-emphasizing social issues [libertarian but not libertine], and
maintaining a muscular foreign policy. All must recognize the urgency of the issues facing America.

In recognition of Independence Day, note this essay by a graduate of Cheltenham High
School [my alma mater] and Brandeis University: Volunteering for the All-American
Military - As a young Jew in the U.S., I admired my peers who joined the Israel Defense
Forces, but my calling was the Marines. Then read this 1998 Bill Buckley column which
reflected on the 4
th
; it ends:

It happened to the Roman society that its shortcomings finally
overwhelmed the state, and that a great society became merely a
historical sanctuary. Burke said it definitively, that a society, to be loved,
must be lovely. The consensus, on the Fourth of July, seemed to be that
the American people still think it that, but that some probationary signs
are flying.

Also, enjoy some John Philip Sousa music and note the accuracy of a remix focused on
the VA Scandal based on God Bless The USA; for levity, note: D.C. region's Wheaton
metro station has the longest escalator in the Western Hemisphere; it is 230 feet long.
And, finally, note some of the Wisest Words Ben Franklin Ever Said and ponder Franklin,
Jefferson, Adams, Sherman, and Livingston and the Declaration they crafted.

Hillary Clinton: Hobby Lobby Decision Deeply Disturbing

Hillary Clinton said that she found the Supreme Court's ruling in the Hobby Lobby case
"deeply disturbing." Clinton added that "its very troubling that a salesclerk at Hobby
Lobby who needs contraception, which is pretty expensive, is not going to get that
service through her employers health care plan because her employer doesnt think she
should be using contraception.

Contrary to Clinton's assertion Hobby Lobby's owner "doesn't think [women] should be
using contraception," the family-owned business covers the entire cost of 16 out of 20
FDA-approved contraceptives under its insurance plan. The company's owners simply
objected to covering pills or devices that may cause the death of a human embryo.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the government's contraception mandate as
applied to closely held corporations was a violation of the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act, which was signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993. The Court held that
the government could provide coverage for contraceptives and abortifacients without
forcing Americans, like the Christian family that owns Hobby Lobby, to violate their
sincerely held religious beliefs.

HAWAII PRIMARY: LIVING PRESIDENT VS. DEAD SENATOR - For over 50 years, Senator
Daniel K. Inouye, a Democrat, was the closest thing modern-day Hawaii had to political
royalty: He began representing the state in Washington two years before its most
famous citizen was even born. As he lay dying in 2012, Mr. Inouye asked the governor,
Neil Abercrombie, to appoint Representative Colleen Hanabusa, a protge and the
daughter of a gas station owner here, to fill his seat. But Mr. Abercrombie, a fellow
Democrat, disregarded that deathbed request, choosing his lieutenant governor, Brian
Schatz, as the interim senator instead.
-- "Eighteen months later, the decision to defy one of the most popular politicians in
Hawaii history has come back to rock Mr. Abercrombie and the Democratic Party,
setting off a backlash that threatens to topple both Mr. Schatz and the governor - who
had already been struggling during an occasionally tumultuous first term - in the
Democratic primary on Aug. 9.

1752

... Obama, who grew up in Honolulu, has made a rare intervention in a Democratic
primary. He has endorsed Mr. Schatz, who supported him in the 2008 Democratic
presidential contest; Ms. Hanabusa and Mr. Inouye backed Hillary Rodham Clinton. As a
result, the primary vote is shaping up as test of clout between a living president and a
dead senator."

GOPs Civil-War

The TEA Party Movement has been successful:
Slow bleeding the GOP Establishment The GOP Establishment and their paymasters have to win every
battle in order to survive. We dont. We only have to survive as an army in being. We will pick off
incumbents (Cantor and Bennett) and prevent the elevation of establishment cronies (Dewhurst and
Crist) and we will bleed them on a hundred battlefields in a war of attrition. The loss to senile adulterer
Thad Cochran {if it is not overturned} will be seen in retrospect as the time when the tide began to turn.
The GOP establishment had to spend millions of dollars and they had to illegally recruit Democrat voters
in order to haul Cochrans moldering, putrescent near-corpse over the finish line. One has to wonder
how many of their donors will pony up money in 2016 for another bloody round of primaries with the
presidency in the balance.

conservative would ever do: they went running to the Democrats for help. In this most underhand of
tactics, Cochran used Republican Party dues money to conduct get-out-the-vote activities for Mississippi
Democrats, charging Chris McDaniel with causing problems for President Barack Obama, and accusing
the liberty movement of indiscriminate racism.

The GOPs Future


1755

GOP-Congressmen listed as members of the main street pac include Mike Fitzpatrick, reflecting why I
have become estranged during the past year; this reflected an overall desire to reject Wall St. and K St.
in preference for Main St. *of populism, not moderation+; on the bright side, BOEHNER claimed WE
KEPT OUR PROMISE ON EARMARKS but, on the dark side, Congress Quietly Deleted a Key Disclosure of
Free Trips Lawmakers Take.

Having defined terms, its easier to appreciate why Im working to establish a
statewide Log Cabin GOP Chapter in PA *with, perhaps, a sub-chapter in MontCo,
logistics to be determined] to encompass the LGBTQ-community within an enlarged
umbrella. Indicative of trends that have accelerated during the past year after the
double-decision by the SCOTUS are cogent-predictions [Gays predict Supreme Court
decision will fully-legalize same-sex marriage nationwide] and extreme-reactions [US
STATE DEPT LGBT SPEAKER CALLED FOR THE END OF THE MARRIAGE INSTITUTION].
One might hope that quietly pondering the former may instill inner-hope, but that
proclaiming the latter unduly reflects a destructive attitude that could prove
counterproductive. {Gays may wish to avoid stressing those whom they know to oppose
gay-marriage on religious levels and, thus, refrain from requesting wedding-cakes, for
example; some bakers have decided to refrain from accepting all such business rather
than violate their personal beliefs, although its possible this conflict may be litigated
(noting the recent ObamaDontCare and the Pill decision).-

Log Cabin Republicans will have its Annual Spirit of Lincoln Dinner *for gay Republicans
and allies] on Wednesday, September 17 @ 6 p.m. @ The Grand Hyatt [1000 H Street
NW, Washington, DC 20001]. Speakers include Mary Cheney [Political Strategist, BKM
Strategies], Larry Kudlow [Famed Economist & CNBC Senior Contributor], Ana Navarro
[Republican Strategist, CNN & ABC Contributor], Congressman Mike Coffman [R-
Colorado], and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-Florida].

Libs *and RINOs+ cannot be trusted to provide useful advice; for example, articles in Politico *CONGRESS
COULDN'T PASS THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT TODAY and Congress dithers on the economy] reflect typical
egalitarian memes [Congress is deadlocked on every big question and Lawmakers from both parties
are disgusted by the congressional inaction+ that ignore the key-facts [such as awareness that the Dems
voted against this initiative, a half-century ago]. Similarly, David Brooks ascribes the electorates
unsettled atmosphere to the claim that people have actively lost trust in big institutions *Were
probably entering a world in which some sectors, like energy, retain top-down regulatory regimes. Other
sectors, like bake sales, are unregulated. But more sectors, like peer-to-peer, exist in a gray zone in
between.most city governments dont seem inclined to demand tight regulations and oversight.+,
forgetting the explosion of governmental regs solely under Dems and BHO. Finally, it is claimed that The
victories claimed by Conservative Republicans [Supreme Court ruling on religious freedom and the
White House's acceptance that an immigration overhaul won't happen this year] could vex GOP in 2016,
as the party's presidential nominee looks for much-needed support among women and Hispanics in the
2016 election; this is aggressively countered by growing awareness of BHOs rhetorical/behavioral
excess in both instances; even Barbara Walters feels the war on women doesnt exist.

Note this prcis by Politico of an upcoming essay which highlights seemingly pedestrian
ideas [rubios-effort-to-modernize-the-gop]:


1756

N.Y. Times Magazine cover, "The party of family values / tax cuts/ national security
reform? [with each of those three topics scribbled out] Can the G.O.P. be a party of
ideas?" by Sam: "On Jan. 8, ... Marco Rubio... announced a plan to create a 'revenue-
neutral flex fund' that would disburse federal funds to the states to spend as they
wished on antipoverty programs. ... The plan wouldn't save a dime in the short run - in
fact, it would most likely increase costs - but it met the bigger ideological goal of
'incentivizing' work, a pet theme on the right since the days of [Irving] Kristol and his
liberal ally Daniel Patrick Moynihan. "The originator of Rubio's plan was Oren Cass, a top
adviser on the Romney campaign, whom Rubio contacted after Cass originally proposed
the idea in National Review. Not even the most hardened Republican opposes a better-
skilled work force. What sets Rubio's thinking apart is his enthusiasm for a different
approach to educating and training the young. ... "'Our debt isn't driven by discretionary
spending on poverty programs,' Rubio said. 'We're not going to balance the budget by
saving money on safety-net programs.' It is hard to imagine the Republican candidate
who will say this in a closely contested Red State primary in 2014 or during a
presidential race in 2016."

Michele Bachmann (R-MN) feels the Republican Party is Blind to Jihad [indictment of Rand Paul]

The following two op-eds illustrate the sensory-overload that has occurred during the
past year of compiling ~2700 pages of tightly-organized hyperlinks [mainstreaming input
from others that is particularly gripping]; indeed, I have not yet figured-out How to Cope
With Email Newsletter Overload, the topic of todays Washington Free Beacon essay:

Ive got a little list, sang Ko-Ko in Gilbert and Sullivans Mikado. I have gotor, more
accurately, I am onabout 20 of them: Email newsletters to which I subscribe, and
which appear in my inbox throughout the day. How I made it through life without all of
these lists, which bring me the latest news on economics, politics, literature, foreign
policy, defense, and media, I do not know. I am not quite sure how I will make it through
life with them, either.

Email newsletters, an old-school artifact of the web that was supposed to die along
with dial-up connections, are not only still around, but very much on the march, writes
David Carr of the New York Times. And newsletters, in my experience, are not lone
wolves. They overwhelm. Carr says that MailChimp, a sort of postal service for business-
to-consumer emails, distributes more than 400 million of them a day. They all seem to
end up in my Gmail.
The newsletters march into ones inbox in platoons, in brigades, even divisions. Some
sneak in under cover of night, waiting to ambush a subscriber as soon as he awakens.
Others attack in a group formation, in the mid-morning, just when our subscriber
believes he has completed his pre-lunch reading. And still others wait until the
afternoon to pounce, unexpectedly, as our subscriber prepares to sip his afternoon
coffee in peace. By the time he is done reading all of his newsletters, is finished sorting
the missives into folders for future reference, our subscriber wonders how he has
managed to complete any work at all.

1757

The best newsletters trick you into believing that the links and images and oddities they
contain are indispensable, pressing, absolutely required for a life of sophistication and
depth. And yet I find that I enjoy reading newsletters in inverse proportion to their
connection to my daily routine. The July 1 edition of the Writers Almanac, for example,
included a poem by Emily Dickinson, and stories about the creation of postal ZIP codes,
Walkman cassette players, and William Strunk, Jr.
I hadnt a clue that ZIP codes and the Walkman shared a birthday with Strunk, nor that
the French writer George Sand (1804-1876) produced more than 90 novels, 35 plays,
and a multivolume autobiography. Dazzled and humbled by her productivity, I am
nonetheless convinced that I could have spent my days happily ignorant of Sands
output. That didnt stop me, however, from clicking on the almanac as soon as it arrived.
Its one of my favorites.
My work would have been unaffected if I had ignored the picture of the solar flare to
which Micah Mattix, in his excellent literary newsletter Prufrock, linked in his July 1
edition. But studying the image of the suns corona as seen in ultraviolet lighta
swirling, dizzying, hallucinatory canvas of red, blue, greens, and purples that resembles a
gigantic, spherical lava lampwas more than a distraction. It was a pleasure, and not a
totally empty one. Procrastination through newsletter browsing can be edifying: How
else would I have learned that the sun regularly experiences solar indigestion, expelling
super-heated jets of plasma millions of miles into space?
As the day progresses, and I make my way through the columns of newsletters, the
charms of literature and the glories of the solar system give way to the minutiae of
politics. The political emails are dense thickets of bullet points and press clippings, of
poll numbers and ad expenditures. They never fail to darken my mood. I read them for
work, and it takes work to read them. A long-time subscriber to the Hotlines Wake-Up
Call!, I find it increasingly difficult to pay attention to items such asstop the presses
In GA-10, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) endorsed businessman Mike Collins (R).
The fate of the $29 billion budget passed this week by the Pennsylvania legislature may
be of great interest to some readers of the Hotline, perhaps even to some who do not
live in Pennsylvania, and who are unconnected to Pennsylvania politics. It does not
interest me.
Scanning the political newsletters out of a sense of professional duty, I find my eye
being drawn to items unrelated to the campaign air war, web war, and ground
war. Jonathan Lasts great newsletter for the Weekly Standard is an unpredictable mix
of political and cultural analysis, noteworthy links, and passages from some of the best
writing to appear in the magazines pagesand I say all this free of charge. The Wake-
Up Calls trivia challenge, the This and That section of Mark Bednars entertaining
and informative Morning Buzz newsletter, the Top Tweets section of the PBS
Newshours Morning Line, and the cultural and personal asides in Jim Geraghtys
Morning Jolt are far more interesting than the dreary play-by-play of House
Republican caucus meetings and Chris McDaniel skullduggery, more worth ones time
than read-outs of President Obamas latest trip to Taylor Gourmet or Shake Shack or
Great Falls or the Georgetown Waterfront Park.

1758

Newsletters are clicking, writes David Carr, because readers have grown tired of the
endless stream of information on the Internet. If readers are tired of infinite amounts
of reading material, they have a funny way of showing it. No one subscribes to just one
newsletter. My habit started in 2010, when I signed up for Thoughts from the
Frontline, a weekly newsletter of economic analysis by the investor John Mauldin, who
is in a state of constant motion, traveling to South America, to Europe, to Asia. When, in
one email, Mauldin recommended a second newsletter, Grant Williamss Things That
Make You Go Hmmm, I signed up for that, too.
Four years later, I seem to have replaced the endless stream of information on the
Internet with an endless stream of information in my inbox: In addition to the
newsletters I have mentioned, I receive emails from Israel Hayom, the Times of
Israel, TheTower.org, Tablet Magazine, Foreign Policy, Bill Kristol, Chris Stirewalt of Fox
News Channel, Real Clear Defense, the Wall Street Journals Political Diary, Politico
Playbook, Avik Roys Apothecary, Jason Hirschhorn, the Institute for the Study of War,
the Cato Institute, Lifenews.com, National Journals The Edge, Commentary magazine,
the 2017 Project, and, of course, the Washington Free Beacon. The Beacon also
subscribes to theSpike aggregation service, which sends me hourly updates on which
stories across the Internet are being shared the most. Hourly. Updates.
List, list, O list! cries the ghost of Hamlets father. So bad has my problem become
that, upon finishing Carrs piece, I promptly signed up for several of the newsletters he
recommended. I couldnt help it. The first of these new subscriptions arrived moments
ago. It is called 5 Intriguing Things, and is written by Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic.
Seems promising. Especially promising, because it limits the number of intriguing things
to five.
The best newsletters are digital magazines. They contain a wide range of content, they
often have several departments, and the personality of their editor is apparent in every
aspect. Keeping this analogy in mind, I plan to cancel some of my email subscriptions
over the holiday weekend. Just as there is no reason to continue to receive a boring
magazine, there is no reason to keep collecting, and promptly deleting, boring
newsletters. The difference is that you can always let a magazine subscription lapse. Not
so with emails.
Which newsletters will make the cut? I dont want to hurt any feelings by writing them
here. If you must know, write me an email.
And Ill send you a list.

Having updated key-info regarding politics [and having distilled my focused intervention regarding the
creation of a Log Cabin Republican entity in the region [and the state], it is desirable to note a few items
that may have been overlooked [such as emphasis on the need for the GOP to sweep the midterms,
salvaging only those Dems who can communicate dismay with BHO, to distance themselves from his
ideological destructiveness]. Illustrating the importance of the TEA *Taxed Enough Already+ Party
Movement are its stances on the Export-Import Bank [defund] and the Illegals *dont grant amnesty+,
and illustrating its success are not only the increased conservatism manifest during the primaries, but
also the victories [Sasso, Brat, possible McDaniel] that have emerged. I still favor Cruz/Walker in 16,
knowing both nothing to discredit them and plenty to discredit alternatives; I still think Hillary wont run.

The Complete Guide To Obamas Scandals, Lies, And Blunders, From A-Z provides a contemporary
frame-of-reference for Notes for Reading the Declaration of Independence on the Fourth of July; both
depict the experience of We, the People when they lament being under the control of imperialism:

In Abrahams Lincolns 1857 speech on the Dred Scott Decision, he alludes to what was
likely a customary way for mid-nineteenth-century Americans to celebrate the Fourth of
Julybesides drinking whiskey and shooting guns, which they probably did (and some
of us still do). Lincoln says, I suppose you will celebrate; and will even go so far as to
read the Declaration.
(Lincolns comment here was an asidehis larger point was that according to Stephen
Douglas, the Declaration was nothing more than a justification for the colonists to
withdraw their allegiance to the British, and that by this reading the Declaration is of

1760

no practical use nowmere rubbishold wadding left to rot on the battle-field after
the victory is won.)
Suppose you and your family decide to celebrate the Fourth according to the old custom
this year, and at some point between the burgers and fireworks you gather everyone
together and read the Declaration of Independence out loud. Once you get past the
familiar openingWhen in the course of human events, etc.youll get into the list of
grievances against King George III, a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all
having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
Most of us are less familiar with this section, but the list follows a standard rhetorical
structure: it begins with the least severe crimes and gradually ramps up to the worst.
About two-thirds of the way down, youll notice a few injuries and usurpations that have
a certain resonance today, like imposing Taxes on us without our Consentthink
Obamacares individual mandate penalty, which was only construed as a tax by the
Supreme Court after the fact. The accusation that King George erected a multitude of
New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people should call to
mind the deliberate targeting and harassment of conservative groups by the IRS,
possible evidence of which was apparently lost when former IRS official Lois Lerners
computer crashed.
But pay close attention to one item a little further down on the list, about taking away
our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms
of our Governments. That one is especially germane. Earlier this week, U.S. Senator Ted
Cruz released the latest in a series of reports on the Obama administrations attempt to
expand federal power, highlighting a persistent pattern of lawlessness and a
willingness to disregard the written law and instead enforce policies through executive
fiat.
Cruzs report catalogs the administrations 20 unanimous defeats before the Supreme
Court during the past five-and-a-half years, a tally thats all the more striking for the
string of defeats it suffered in the Supreme Courts recently concluded term, including
rulings this week in the Hobby Lobby case and Harris v. Quinn. In a statement
accompanying the report, Cruz said the inescapable conclusion is that the Obama
Administrations view of federal power knows virtually no bounds.
Thats very much like the complaint Jefferson and the Founders had with King George. In
the spirit of the Declaration, the Cruz report lists some things the federal government
would be able to do had the White Houses lawyers won these cases:
Unilaterally install officers and bypass the Senate confirmation process (NLRB v. Noel
Canning);
Search the contents of cell phones without a warrant (Riley v. California);
Use international treaties to displace state sovereignty over criminal law (Bond v. United
States);
Expand federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws (Burrage v. United States);

1761

Apply arbitrary immigration rules (Judulang v. Holder)
And the list goes on. Given the Obama administrations spectacular losses in court, one
could be forgiven for thinking that the president doesnt think much of altering laws
and fundamentally abolishing our forms of government. After all, thats been the
progressive project for more than a century. Woodrow Wilsonthe Founding Father of
American progressivism, if you willwas vexed above all by the Constitutions
separation of powers. For him, the maxims of the Founders were an impediment to
good governance and to truly democratic politics: The old political formulas do not fit
the present problems; they read now like documents taken out of a forgotten age.
One good thing about Wilson, though, was that he just came out and said exactly what
he thought. The Obama administration, in contrast, has tried to couch its effort to
dismantle the separation of powers in the language of the Constitution. In its brief
before the Supreme Court for NLRB v. Noel Canning, the administration argued that the
presidents 2012 recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were
justified, and that disallowing such appointments would prevent the President from
being able to fill offices, and exercise his constitutional responsibility to take care that
the laws be faithfully executed, even when the Senate is unable, for a significant period
of time, to give its advice and consent to appointments.
The justices saw through this flimsy rhetoric and ruled unanimously that the president
had overreached. Even the New York Times recognized that the 9-0 ruling was
momentous, involving a constitutional adjudication of the balance of power between
the president and the Senate. In other words, it was a rare victory for the separation of
powers.
So when youre reading the Declaration of Independence out loud in the backyard this
Fourth, remember what was at the heart of the Founders complaint with old King
George. Remember also that the Declaration, together with the Constitution, evinces
the genius of a free peopleand that attempts to alter fundamentally our form of
government will never go away. From King George to Woodrow Wilson to the current
administration, no wonder they say eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
Now go do a shot of whiskey and shoot some guns.
Updating BHOs Scandal-Sheet, a Veteran Died Waiting for an Ambulance at VA Hospital to transport
him to an ER that was only yards away; Judicial Watch said Benghazi Documents Point to White House
on Misleading Talking Points; and Issa and Lerner lawyer escalated IRS fight while the Obamas IRS
Defense Team was in-action. Perhaps related were the flub of the BHOs spokesman Josh Earnest when
defending the White House regarding Equal Pay between the sexes and the impetus for Issa to Rip
Acting SSA Commissioner Over Failure to Fight Disability Fraud.

Already to be receiving SCOTUS-level scrutiny are two religion-related cases [The
Washington Post: Up next for the Supreme Court: Pregnant workers rights and
Supreme Court Could Take Historic Religious Liberty Case in 2015 with Mt. Soledad
Veterans Cross]; these all relate to The war on religion, an essay about which ended
optimistically *Let's dispense with portraying people of faith as enemies of reason and
fairness+. Finally, as mentioned previously, the Harris Ruling Could Cost AFSCME and

1762

SEIU Tens of Millions because the Supreme Court struck-down coercive union
membership among Illinois home health workers. {Also, Govt Scientists report the
Antarctic Sea Ice Is Growing Because Of Global Warming.}

The focus, here, is on Domestic Affairs and Foreign Affairs; regarding the former, it is advised that
viewing Dinesh DSouzas film America and the debate between Bill Ayers and Dinesh D'Souza on FNC
regarding American Exceptionalism will prove both educational and entertaining. [Airing scoops such as
this may explain why Fox News boasts 50 Straight Quarters of Crushing Left-Wing CNN and MSNBC, with
FOX NEWS' 'THE FIVE' EARNING 5X THE RATINGS OF CNN'S WOLF BLITZER; perhaps people are gradually
being trained to look askance at the Bloomberg Editor who claimed Halperin and Heilemann Are Not
Ideological. Regularly, both during prime-time and red-eye, Greg Gutfeld DESTROYS Leftists for thinking
that hating America is cool. Also note that Cheneys Back, Blitzing Rivals and Drawing Scorn while,
responding, Rand Paul Dinged Cheney And Defended Obama On Iraq. Finally, Insurers are seeking
double-digit ObamaCare premium hikes in NY.

the-jobs-report is problematic, including tragic data inter alia regarding the dramatic
shift to part-time work due to ObamaDontCare *as predicted+; a record 92,120,000
Americans are Not Working and Not Looking. Although part-time work is usually 10%,
now its up to ~30%, and NOW HIRING regularly is the Government; indicative of
BHOs failure, the 10.7% Black Unemployment More Than Double That of Whites.

A reminder of stock-phraseology used by the Leftist-Media is ensconced in an essay
*Lone Star Crazy: How Right-Wing Extremists Took Over Texas] that unabashedly
decried current-day Texas [in Rolling Stone]: "This was supposed to be the year Texas
turned blue, or at least purple, the year female and Hispanic voters turned out in droves
and carried Democrat state Sen. Wendy Davis to the governor's mansion. Battleground
Texas, a group founded last year with the bold goal of transforming Texas into a swing
state, targeted the swelling Latino population, which by 2020 is projected to overtake
the white population of Texas. ... Texas remains a very red state, and the narrow slice
that represents the Republican-primary electorate - about seven percent this year -
continues to move farther and faster to the extreme right."

Regarding Foreign Affairs, first, note that Putin continues to act-out in Europe, creating what has been
dubbed Putin's New 'Nuclear' Option, because the escalating crisis in Ukraine being he engineered is
taking on the feel of the Guns of August: an inexorable march towards a wider conflict, and perhaps a
conflagration; meanwhile, PUTIN cajoled OBAMA *Let's get along+ as Merkel Nixed any New NATO
Bases in Eastern Europe due to Fear of a Russian Backlash [while QUESTIONS were RAISED OVER
MERKEL'S COMMUNIST PAST]. Many suspect BHO is abandoning the EU, manifest as stemming from his

1764

disarmament ideology [U.S. Nuke Sites Dismantled; Security to Save Money and Congress to Cut Key U.S.
Missile Defense System]. Also, Venezuelan Violence continues [Man Shot to Death During Surgery to
Close Gunshot Wound].

When distilling subtle manifestations of anti-Semitism among Lefties, it is also vital to
direct identical scrutiny at putative conservatives *such as Grover Norquist+; thats why
others share the need to vet those who claim to be aligned politically with the TPM.
For example, it seems an Antiwar Conference [hosted by the American Prospect and the
American Conservative] Featured a Panelist Who Spoke at Holocaust Denial Conference
and claimed American Muslims are a disloyal fifth column who should leave America.
Nevertheless, the dominant concern is among libs, manifest both via religion [Do the
Presbyterians Expect Jews to Be the World's Only Christians?+ and the media *MSNBCs
FARROW EQUATED ISRAELI AND PALESTINIAN 'EXTREMISM IN THE LEADERSHIP' and GE-
Sponsored explanatory website (Vox.com, edited by Ezra Klein) Accused Israel of War
Crimes, which is again facing criticism for biased and hostile reporting about Israel. Also,
not so subtle is the anti-Semitism manifest by Italy, Spain and France, manifest as their
having endorsed the BDS-movement; nevertheless, the Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions (BDS) movement is virtually guaranteed to fail because of unreasonable
demands and misleading claims, according to noted anti-Israel activist Noam Chomsky.
Finally, it was revealed that the 'Ideal Aryan' Nazi Poster Child Was Jewish.



Overall, feeling vindicated by events not under their control, conservative thinkers in Israel are trying to
drive-home key-concepts to prophylax against a moment in the future when the libs might attempt to
undermine Israels intestinal fortitude [The time has come for America to stand up - By Caroline B.
Glick, and How Dare Israel Defend Itself; We Only Like Them When They're Victims]; many observers
feel that, by adhering to a policy of avoiding confrontations which Israel can win, the government risks
leading it into one in which it might lose, for it is time for a bold new offensive before we are
overtaken by events. Others are concerned that becoming enmeshed with Hamas could undermine the
capacity to take bold action against Iran; that Israel is juggling conflicts on multiple levels is dramatized
by the jewish policy centers daily summary of military-activity in/around Israel and the streaming
Jerusalem Post Headlines. {Also note Israel's Economic Impact on the U.S. and Cyprus Inauguration of
an Israeli-Built Water Desalination Plant.]

U.S. Supreme Court Refused to Save the Jordan-based Arab Bank from Sanctions, based
on a lower-court decision to send to trial a terror finance case brought by the families of
terror victims. The case involves allegations that Arab Bank facilitated massive transfers
of funds to Hamas leaders and institutions, as well as to the families of suicide bombers
and imprisoned Hamas members between 1998-2004. The plaintiffs allege that the bank
knew the funds were related to terror groups and thus is civilly liable for wrongful death
damages resulting from terror attacks perpetrated using those funds. (Jerusalem Post)

These Murders Reawaken Israel's Deepest Fears
After the Horror - In the wake of the discovery of the bodies of the three teenagers, part of the
world, in its obtuseness, has warned us against a "disproportionate" reaction, as if there is a
proportionate reaction to three boys murdered for no other reason than they were Jews.
There Is No "Cycle of Violence" Its ongoing.

After the Murder of a Palestinian Youth in Jerusalem, Arabs Rioted All Over Jerusalem setting
fires and Damaging Jerusalem's Light Rail [that Could Take Months to Repair]; after exploring
what is Behind the Rioting in Jerusalem, and Israel Moved to Limit Expressions of Hatred. I feel
Israel should consider deporting rioters, perhaps c/w these sentiments:

Deport the Heads of Hamas - Avi Dichter, a former director of the Israel Security
Agency and Minister of Internal Security. (Israel Hayom)

This past month has made it very clear what Hamas' strategy is: taking over the
Palestinian Authority by entering into a unity government with PA President
Abbas, while capturing Palestinian hearts that brim with joy the moment they
hear about an attack by Hamas terrorists that left three Jewish youths dead.
Attempts to describe an imaginary situation in which the political Hamas is
separate from the military Hamas range from naive to pathetic. Israel must
strike while the iron is still hot and implement the most effective leverage of
deterrence: deportation. Deporting the Hamas terrorist infrastructure from the
West Bank to Gaza is a move that will create truly significant deterrence. As
someone who has seen this from up close for decades, I'm saying that a move
like this will have tremendous efficacy against terrorists and potential terrorists.

It is ominous that Palestinians in Gaza Fired 45 Rockets at Israel that struck a Day-Care Center; also, a
Sderot Family said It's a Miracle that We Were Saved. Thus, Israel Hit Gaza Targets in Response to
Rocket Fire and Israel Massed Forces on Gaza Border.

Obscene Rush to Judgment by Arlene Kushner

On Tuesday night, according to eye witnesses, a black car stopped near Mohammad Abu
Khdeir, 16, from the upscale Beit Hanina neighborhood of Jerusalem and then took off
with the boy inside. Some time later, the family reported him missing. By early
Wednesday morning, his burnt body had been found in the Jerusalem Forest area.

What happened next should not surprise us, as infuriating as it is: assumptions are being
made far and wide that this boy was killed by Jews in retaliation for the terrorist
murders of the three students. Unfortunately, we are seeing this even among some

1766

Israelis, who, imagining themselves righteous people, are thumping their chests in an ill-
advised and premature mea culpa.

One of the most egregious of the accusations came from Secretary of State Kerry, which
should really, really not be a surprise. We know by now quite well who is our friend and
who is not. There is not even a pretense of evenhandedness. Rather, his bias is
exposed for all the world to see.

Yisrael Medad put out a comparison of what Kerry said after our boys were found dead,
and what he said now (with all emphasis from Medad):

Then:

The news of the murder of these three Israeli teenagers...is simply
devastating. We all had so much hope that this story would not end this
way. As a father, there are no words to express such a horrific loss that
shakes all people of conscience. We pray for these boys and their
families, and together we grieve with all of the people of Israel.
Knowing that Naftali was also an American citizen makes this an
especially heavy blow.

We condemn this despicable terrorist act in the strongest possible
terms. The killing of innocent youths is an outrage beyond any
understanding or rationale, and the perpetrators must be brought to
justice. This is a time for all to work toward that goal without stabilizing
the situation.

And now:

The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms the
despicable and senseless abduction and murder of Muhammad
Hussein Abu Khder.

It is sickening to think of an innocent 17 year old boy snatched off the
streets and his life stolen from him and his family. There are no words
to convey adequately our condolences to the Palestinian people.

The authorities are investigating this tragedy, a number of Israeli and
Palestinian officials have condemned it, and Prime Minister Netanyahu
has been emphatic in calling for all sides not to take the law into their
own hands.

Those who undertake acts of vengeance only destabilize an already
explosive and emotional situation. We look to both the Government of
Israel and the Palestinian Authority to take all necessary steps to
prevent acts of violence and bring their perpetrators to justice. The
world has too often learned the hard way that violence only leads to
more violence and at this tense and dangerous moment, all parties

1767

must do everything in their power to protect the innocent and act
with reasonableness and restraint, not recrimination and retribution.

The difference in over-all tone between the two statements the far more passionate
distress when referring to the killing of the Arab boy is fairly obvious.

But what we must pay closest attention to are certain key judgmental words:
vengeance, destabilize, recrimination, retribution. He has Israel tried and convicted on
this, without evidence.

There we were, showing a nobility in our behavior with the funeral. But it wasnt
allowed to stand.

And naturally Abbas is referring to the murder of this boy as an Israeli war crime.
~~~~~~~~~~
There will in the end be a final conclusion arrived at by the police, but my absolute
conviction is that he was murdered by Arabs. Allow me to share the evidence for this:

First, the body was burned. This is not the way Jews would operate.

Then, there is a report given by a senior former police officer that the family of the
boy was well-known to police sources. Its a problematic family with internal clashes
that have been going on for many years....I know the internal conflicts in that family,
and we need to wait and not rush to connect the murder of the Arab youth with the
abduction in Gush Etzion."

{It is apt to note Washington's Response to the West Bank Murders -
David Pollock (Washington Institute for Near East Policy)
It is a misconception that the murder of three Israeli teenagers is
somehow unrelated to the new Fatah-Hamas "unity" government
established in early June.
Part of the agreement was that Hamas would be allowed to
operate in the West Bank - the kidnapping is an indirect consequence of
that provision. The newfound license for Hamas enshrined in the deal is
almost certainly what made this latest plot so tragically "successful."
Of course, the formal agreement did not explicitly condone
kidnapping or murder, but Hamas officially interpreted it as an opening
for militant activities of all kinds. The group's West Bank sympathizers
were newly encouraged to provide local cover, and mid-level PA security
officials suddenly became uncertain about where to draw the line in
preempting or thwarting Hamas operations.
Similarly, Abbas has proclaimed that his new government would
remain bound by the commitment to nonviolence against Israel. Yet
rockets keep raining on Israel from Gaza, and the PA - which is now
officially responsible for Gaza under the terms of the unity deal - has not
done or even said anything to stop them.
Washington would be on very firm ground in insisting that, as a
condition for continued U.S. aid and support, the PA must either act

1768

unambiguously to end Hamas violence or dissolve its partnership with
that U.S.-designated terrorist organization.}

Palestinian Arab culture is clan-based. If you are interested in further information, to
help you understand what might be going on, you might want to see this:

Arab culture addresses security through balanced opposition in which
everybody is a member of a nested set of kin groups, ranging from very
small to very large. These groups are vested with responsibility for the
defense of each member and responsible for harm any member does to
outsiders. If there is a confrontation, families face families, lineage faces
lineage, clan faces clan.

There have been other suggestions that the boys murder may have been an honor
killing necessitated in the killers view by the fact that the boy is a homosexual, which
brings a shame to the family that must be rectified.

An honor killing is the homicide of a member of a family...due to the
perpetrator's belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon
the family...usually for reasons such as refusing to enter an arranged
marriage, being in a relationship that is disapproved by their relative...or
engaging in homosexual relations. (Emphasis added)

Lastly, we have reports from several sources of conflicting information provided by the
mother and the father, including claims regarding an attempted kidnapping of the
boys younger brother some days before this incident. See, for example:

On Tuesday, police said, the mother called police to say that settlers
had tried to kidnap her younger son. She said that individuals had
stopped a car in front of her house where she was sitting with her son,
and that they tried to grab him. She managed to hold onto him, she
said, and they left, at which point she called police.

Officers arrived a few minutes later to take her statement, in which she
said settlers had tried to kidnap her son, but could give no details.
However, a few minutes later the father arrived, and he disputed his
wife, saying that it was Arabs who tried to kidnap the son.

Police asked the father if he was positive regarding the identity of the
would-be kidnappers, and he said he was. When they asked him to file a
police complaint, he said he would, but that he would come down to
the police station later on to do so in order to be able to comfort his
son. He never showed up, police said, who contacted him several times
asking him to file the complaint but to no avail.

The charge that Jews killed this boy has sparked severe riots in certain Arab sections of
Jerusalem in and near the Shuafat neighborhood and in Beit Hanina.


1769

Rioters did damage to the light rail station in the Shuafat neighborhood and threw rocks
and homemade bombs at the police. Additional police forces had to be called out.

I pause here to point out the difference between the way we Jews responded to the
death of the three boys and the way Arabs are responding here. Unfortunately, this
difference will not be noted by mainstream media sources.

Jerusalem Councilman Aryeh King charged that the murder of the boy was planned to
incite unrest. I cannot speak to this, but what seems certain is that the fact of the
murder was used to inflame anger and promote rioting. Please note that the rioting is
making it difficult for the IDF to continue with its actions against Hamas in Judea and
Samaria something else that might well have been taken into consideration when the
unrest was fomented.

*

These are the first two graphs of what was written by Jerry Gordon, mirroring the
above-observations regarding a rush-to-judgment:

Shortly after Noon on July 2, 2014, the Washington, DC-based Jewish Council for Public
Affairs (Jewish Council or JCPA in the US) put out a statement with the headline, JCPA
Mourns Palestinian Teenager, Calls for an End to Violence. [The Jewish Council
proclaims itself as Voice of Jewish America. It numbers among constituent members
major American Jewish organizations such as the ADL, American Jewish Committee,
Hadassah, Jewish War Veterans and many of the local Jewish Community Relations
Councils (JCRCs) of Federations. The JCRCs have been in the forefront of promoting
outreach to non-Jewish communities but, in all too many instances, engaging in Jewish
Muslim dialogues that have backfired. [See January 2011 NER article, Dialogue with
Radical Muslims is Dangerous for American Jews.]

The JCPA news release drew attention to the discovery of the burned remains of 16 year
old Mohammed Abu Khedair in a Jerusalem forest. CNN reported, that Khedair was
heading from his home to a mosque in the middle-class neighborhood of Shoafat for
prayers around 4 a.m. when three men forced him into a car and drove off, according to
his father Hussain Abu Khedair. His burned remains were found an hour later. Who
were the three men who abducted and murdered Mohammed Abu Khedair is the
subject of investigations by Israels national Police. Moreover, why was the Jewish
Council compelled to issue this statement within less than 12 hours after news broke and
without any investigation by Israeli National Police?

As USA-Iran nuke-talks restarted, the ability to Elicit A Better Deal From Iran was felt to be elusive;
during a background briefing on the P5+1-Iran discussions by the U.S. State Department, two postures
were articulated [U.S. Wants Sharp Reduction of Iran's Enrichment Capacity and Iran Eases Demands in
Nuclear Talks]. BHO will probably kick-the-can-down-the-road for another six months, meanwhile
stopping noisy Senators from legislating regarding sanctions. What too-few people realize is the ongoing
impact of the terrorism-threat within the USA, for Embracing Sharia Law seems to be Americas Blind
Spot; for example, Airport Security was increased as Yemen Bomb Makers Joined with Syrian Jihadists,
and a Denver Teen Seduced by ISIS Jihadist Online Approved of Attacking US Military 'Targets.'

Regarding worldwide manifestations of Sharia, there was good news [Europe Took Step
Toward Burqa Ban], unnerving news [China Banned Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan],
confidential news [U.S Official: U.S. Troops Have Been 'Secretly' In Somalia Since 2007],
and violent news [Terrorists Threw a Grenade into Lebanese Cafe Open during
Ramadan]. Meanwhile, Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese Christian Woman Faced a New

Although a bit choppy, this is an annotated summary of Victor David Hanson article, Obama's
World Disorder by Victor Davis Hanson [Tuesday, June 24, 2014] acquired via e-mail [relay]]:


1771

"....After assembling a coalition to beef up sanctions again Iran, the U.S. eased them to
begin new negotiations with the theocracywithout prior consolation with our allies.
The Obama administration has gone after al-Qaedists through drone attacks, but such
terrorists have spread throughout the Mideast in the wake of U.S. retrenchment and a
misguided and euphemistic outreach to radical Islam.

No one in Latin America knows to what degree, if any, the U.S. opposes the creeping
spread of authoritarian Marxist governments.

No one in the Middle East knows quite what the evolving American position is on Iranian
nuclear proliferation. And no one quite knows whether the United States is distancing
itself from Israel while gravitating toward its enemies.

The Obama administration declares climate change the chief global threat. That new
inanimate target is welcome news to aggressive nations that had once feared that their
own reckless behavior might have been so singled out.

Americans did not fully appreciate the costly postwar global order that the United States
had established over the last seventy years. Maybe they will start to as they witness it
vanish."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
* Obama record is very low, based on the data below, based on eleven wrong foreign
activities in last 3 years:
* USA still "negotiating" on Iran Nuke... Last week, the US delegation was told by White
House: "Dont leave talks with Iran without an improved interim deal" [Even so the
Iranian negotiators did not move an inch-]
... the P5+1 negotiations with Iran are at an impasse, with no chance of achieving their
goal of a final nuclear accord by the July deadline ..." A US official said that the bilateral
stage was fitted to engage in as much active diplomacy we can to test whether we
can reach a diplomatic solution with Iran on its nuclear program.... accompanying
round after round of failed discussions...."

* It was not a surprise attack by ISIS [al-Qaida branch] on Iraq as "even last year, ISIS
began moving fighting strength from Syria to Iraq, flocking to the ISIS campaign against
Nuri al-Maliki," [Iraqi PM], as reported by Debka.com on 6-11.

"....The American intelligence community is only now scrambling to draw up a potential
target list in Iraq, and possibly Syriaeven though the threat of ISIS has been visibly
growing for years."

* The US had delivered a major blow to its Israeli ally after announcing that the US
government would work with the new Palestinian unity government backed by the
Hamas terrorist organization- On other hand, Egypts president punishes Hamas, Jihadi
Islami in Gaza, fires up strife in Palestinian government .....while the USA stopped
Financial aid to Egypt which is fighting the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and terrorists:


1772

* First mistake was to remove Kaddafi as "Kaddafi was the best success of
western countries in last 15 years in the mid-east, with a very stable and pro-western
co-operation" (ref is a top national analyst and journalist on Israel TV news panel, Ari
Shavit), and Kaddafi took good care of his people including free education to all his
people.
* Obama supporting rebels (supported by Iran) in Bahrain, per following
references:
* Obama helped removing Mubarak in Egypt by supported Muslim brotherhood -
REF: illary Clinton's new book
* Obama stopped Finance aid to the military leaders in Egypt who are fighting the
Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and terrorists.
* Obama supported terrorist rebels in Syria, anti-west rebels who support al-
Qaida (reference is available):
* Obama moved his navy out of middle east and now Russian are taking control
on the mid east:

More details on the above points:
* USA is still "negotiating" on Iran Nuke... Last week, the US delegation was told by the
White House: "Dont leave talks with Iran without an improved interim deal" [Even so
the Iranian negotiators did not move an inch.]

...the fact is that the P5+1 negotiations with Iran are at an impasse, with no chance of
achieving their goal of a final nuclear accord by the July deadline ... US want to have
something to show for the venture into nuclear diplomacy - .....they are still testing if
they can achieve something as......" A US official said that the bilateral stage was fitted
to engage in as much active diplomacy we can to test whether we can reach a
diplomatic solution with Iran on its nuclear program.

.... "But the optimistic comments of progress accompanying round after round of
failed discussions had to be explained away."
[Note: even a bad agreement is better for Obama than no deal- Obama still testing if
he can achieve something .]

And..."Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced Saturday that Iran
would go straight from the meeting with the US delegation to a separate one with
Russian negotiators on June 11-12."
Tehran has thus provided itself with the option of improving on Washingtons offer
by getting a better deal from Moscow. This maneuver also brings to the attention of
the Obama administration that Iran means henceforth to line up its Middle East policy
and strategy with Moscow."

My suggestion: Senators and Congressmen should force Obama to listen to the Israelis
who said in October 2013 that this is a BAD agreement and to resume the sanctions on
Iran. Now "The American source commented wryly that the two-day Geneva
encounter would undoubtedly provide the stage for further US concessions if the
delegation wishes to come out with any sort of accord in hand."


1773

The above and following info show that Obama don't understand that the Muslim
leaders understand only force as "negotiation" is their strong weapon to get more and
more from the west without giving back anything.

* The US had delivered a major blow to its Israeli ally after announcing that the US
government would work with the new Palestinian unity government backed by the
Hamas terrorist organization: "...Israeli officials criticized the US for backing a
government backed by Hamas ..." On the other hand, Egypts president punishes
Hamas, Jihadi Islami in Gaza, fires up strife in Palestinian government...while the USA
supported the Hamas- Fatah government and stopped Finance aid to Egyptian who are
fighting the Muslim brotherhood, Hamas and terrorists:

Israeli Minister Landau said: The willingness of the US administration to effectively
recognize the Abbas-Hamas government causes damage to the security of Israels
citizens and encourages terror.

* Intervention in Libya Cost USA at Least $896 Million: * Washington is doing the
unthinkable: empowering Islamic butchers: "...the rebels *in Libya+
- contrary to Obama's spin they are not pro-democracy freedom fighters. Many of
them are anti-west Muslim fundamentalists who seek to forge an Islamist Libya.

Al Qaeda is in their ranks. Libyan jihadists who spent years in Iraq killing U.S. soldiers
form the nucleus of the anti-Gadhafi movement. Hence, Washington is doing the
unthinkable: empowering Islamic butchers whose hands are soaked in American blood.
...Obama's policy contravenes our national interest, is inept, immoral and illegal."

* The second time Obama supported anti-west rebels (similar to Libya case): "After
Obama supported the demonstrators in Bahrain in 2011 [supported by Iran], Saudi
Arabia ....King Abdullah first defied the Obama administration's policy of support for
popular uprisings against autocratic Arab regimes on March 14 by sending Saudi troops
into Bahrain to prop up the king against the Shiite-led disturbances organized by
Tehran's Lebanese surrogate, Hizballah.....Saudi Arabia king accused US-led diplomacy of
giving Tehran a clear field".. Their message to Washington is that the Gulf nations are
now making their own decisions."

* Nobody Predicted What Would Happen in Iraq...Except George W. Bush; in July 2007,
President Bush explained:

"I know some in Washington would like us to start leaving Iraq now. To
begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would
be dangerous for Iraq, for the region, and for the United States. It would
mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda. It would mean that
wed be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It would mean wed
allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one
they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean increasing the probability that
American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an
enemy that is even more dangerous."


1774


Obama did his failure activities BY PURPOSE, in the last 3 years and not as accidental
mistakes, to fulfill his wrong ideology:

THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION DAY IS OUR LAST CHANCE FOR
SURVIVAL. As a Suggested action: Convince people (with the data here)
to vote for the right Senators and Congressmen in Nov. 2014 to stop
Obama from doing more wrong foreign activities. And, ask the present
legislators to stop Obama and Democrats even before November.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/232632573/Action-Items-CLXXXIX-Meta-Analysis-of-Meta-Analyses

The purpose, here, is to provide a meta-analysis of the unique meta-analyses you have received for
upwards of one year; these efforts were spawned by the intent to provide BHOs Scandal-Sheet as it
was being accrued and amplified while efforts were promulgated to defund ObamaDontCare *1045
pages+, and they were transformed to Action-Items on the December day Guzzardis gubernatorial
bidsuch as it waswent-public *1773 pages, and counting+. These tight hyperlinks have followed the
res ipsa loquitur model, for minimal commentary has been needed when transitioning among the
topics; indeed, this has been fact-driven meta-analysis of accrued data, often juxtaposed to yield
enhanced appreciation of the key forces-at-play. All received comments were duly invoked in the next
submission and, as OReilly likes to do, info was acquired from myriad sources to create creative
conflict so that the outcome would be fresh, credible, somewhat entertaining, and ultimately definitive
essential reading; graphics were used to punctuate-points, and the backlog can be transmitted [via
Word documents, each no greater than 2-megs] upon request [for its complete preservation has been
de-rigueur when manually uploading on Facebook and remitting to eight sets of ~50 e-mail recipients].

In the process, I have chronicled the rationale for what I have done in myriad spheres;
efforts have ranged from International [promoting Kurdistan for more than a half-
decade, via a series of op-eds co-authored by Dr. Sherkoh Abbas], national
[demonstrating the danger of allowing biased science regarding gun-laws to go
unchallenged, via my letter-to-the-editor of the Annals of Internal Medicine], statewide
*providing the proverbial tough love to Corbett, regarding both Guzzardis TPM-
inspired efforts to limit spending and ongoing concerns regarding the Sandusky
prosecution], regional [achieving passage of the delayed-mandate for Holocaust
Education], and county-wide [initiating a Log Cabin GOP entity]. Other interventions
have been posited along the way, but this is the gravamen of what has been sought;
indeed, that each task has had a unique evolution [contending with surprisingly potent
and persistent sources of opposition, notably regarding the Holocaust-Education unit];
one major project [the anti-Semitic Temple U. Adjunct Professor] pends, but there
seems to have been some movement on multiple fronts *to be reported when an
outcome-measure can be discerned and packaged for succinct dissemination+. And,
predictably, the only failure was Guzzardis primary-candidacy, but I did my part
*organizing, tracking, and conceptualizing the petitions+; actually, this was healthy,
because it supplied a lightning-rod for accruing & examining Corbetts potential-flaws
[for, if nothing else, this effort provided multiple blogging opportunities on PoliticsPa].

Kurdish Independence


For the first set, promoting Sen. Cruz and his linkage with Heritage Action [primarily, among the groups]
in defunding-efforts proved thematic; the pervasive action-item was simply to recruit adherents to
this activist perspective, as an outgrowth of the TEA *Taxed Enough Already+ Party Movement *TPM+.
In this regard, I organized [last fall] meetings of all local players on multiple national stages to challenge
Fitzpatrick in Bucks County; pressure was exerted and oral commitments were made but, alas, it was not
possible to recruit a primary-challenger [if for no other reason than to evoke more public commitments]
and we may be dodging-a-bullet with regard to the Amnesty issue, for it seems there wont be a House
version of the Immigration Bill. Mike feels he reflects the tenor of his district [regarding myriad issues,
ranging from gun-laws to Sandy-relief+, but I moved on *as they say+ before Id be subject to the
accusation of being a carpetbagger *for I live in MontCo, not in his district+. ,Im not thrilled with others
in the TPMyou know who you arebut the beauty of this atmosphere is that its not top-down, for
grass-roots [of whatever ability to suck water and nutrients from the soil and to transmit same upwards
through a tree-trunk] are truly the only-game-in-town.

In many respects, I was writing to myself a form of a Twitter-Diary, in that I conveyed
impressions of lectures [for example] that most-others would not have attended; yet,
the details provide a roadmap as to how to become involved in [then to contend with]
the beauty of our system of government, that kids should learn [in Civics class, etc.].
But, alas, I was also writing to the proverbial Dem/Lib, who has been schooled in how to
heap scorn upon Sarah Palin and who viscerally fears the Pro-Life movement; here,
consternation has greeted the tentative conclusion that Im told Im simply unable to
feel with my brain and think with my heart. My rejoinder is that one usually does not
think-through issues by feelings, nor can one objectify ones emotions; regardless,
parallel with polls, most Dems [particularly Jews] are claiming that their ideology has not
been unduly besmirched by its faulty implementation by BHO and his cohorts-in-crime.


1777



For the second set, although it had been envisioned to be more terse [because of the compulsion to be
forced to state an action-item to accompany a given topic+, it hasnt quite turned-out that way; thus,
although I could be charged with over-kill *noting the hundreds of Illegals preserved-hyperlinks ],
articles were chosen that had been read and that added some unique [more or less] facet to the issue.
Recalled repeatedly and vividly is the quote from Godfather-III by Al Pacino *Just when I thought I was
out...they pull me back in+, such as when the anti-Semitic Temple-U. prof surfaced; I find myself again
galvanizing an attack upon what he wrote, even while recognizing the unique capacities of others
[indeed, just as occurred when working with Rhonda Fink-Whitman and Chuck Feldman on the issue of
mandating Holocaust Education+. And, throughout, values have been linked with activities, often
tethered to Jewish Philosophy *Tikkun Olam = repairing the world+ and to unabashed patriotism
[such as when I encountered a 7-minute video that depicts when John Adams met with King George III].

Yet, the need to be meticulous [and somewhat entertaining in the process] has been too
time-consuming; thus, loyal readers are referred to favorite websites such as this dozen
that demonstrate consistent reliability [keystone report, politics pa, drudge report and
breitbart; pamela geller, Jihad Watch, Middle East Forum, Jerusalem Post; the blaze,
debka, zoa and real clear politics]. Lengthy excerpts have been given when a hyperlink
wasnt available and/or when a piece was particularly pivotal; every effort was made to
ameliorate the length of these Blast e-mails by use of graphics [layout and photos];
ultimately, the rationalization to remove quotation-marks when conveying content
[and, sometimes, thoughts] was that the primary-cite was only a double-click away.
Throughout, the reader was supplied disinterested-info that could undermine opinions
*even those based on the conclusion that Unions own Dems and Rent Republicans
when explaining the acute pension/state-store/paycheck-protection controversy in PA],
but [to-date] no one has mounted any critique [based either on supplied-references or
independently-acquired citations]; thus, I have concluded [unscientifically] my views
have prevailed, even as admitted-uncertainty and open-mindedness remain on-tap
[such as regarding climate-change, in particular, noting my sons concerns+.
