ANTI-ISRAEL CANDIDATE DEMANDS RECOUNT AFTER HUGE LOSS!
I know where all you media scum drink!
Charles Barron (above) - who received verbal support from a former Grand Wizard of the KKK - got his ex-Black Panther ass kicked right across town on Tuesday. Assemblyman Hakeen Jeffries shafted him good style in the race to succeed retiring 24-year incumbent Congressman Edolphus Towns.
Though Jeffries won the primaries Tuesday night by a whopping 72-28 percent margin, the numerally challanged Barron was demanding a recount! Perhaps the arrogant ass-hole couldn't get his fingers to work that particular evening? He also denounced the media saying they were "really low-life scum" (and boy, he should fucking know!) - and refused to concede defeat.
But before another rambunches chorus of "Stuff That Turkey Once More Chaimy Baby"; nationwide, there lurk a further 74 Democrats currently in office, who vote for anything remotely anti-Israel.

The first concrete plan for a transcontinental railroad in the United States was presented to Congress by Asa Whitney in 1845. The world's First Transcontinental Railroad was built between 1863 and 1869 to join the eastern and western halves of the United States. Begun just preceding the American Civil War, its construction was considered to be one of the greatest American technological feats of the 19th century. Known as the "Pacific Railroad" when it opened, this served as a vital link for trade, commerce, and travel and opened up vast regions of the North American heartland for settlement. Shipping and commerce could thrive away from navigable watercourses for the first time since the beginning of the nation. The coming of the railroad resulted in the end of most of the far slower and more hazardous stagecoach lines and wagon trains, and it led to a great decline of traffic on the Oregon and California Trail, which had helped populate much of the West. The transcontinental railroad provided much faster, safer, and cheaper transportation (one week from Omaha to San Francisco via emigrant sleeping car at a fare of about $65 for an adult) for people and goods across the western two-thirds of the continent. The sale of the railroad land grant lands and the transport provided for timber and crops led to the rapid settling of the "Great American Desert". Among the main workers on the Union Pacific were many Army veterans and Irish and Scots emigrants, and many Chinese. Most of the engineers were ex-Army men who had learned their trade keeping the trains running during the American Civil War. Indeed, the Central Pacific Railroad, facing a labor shortage in the more sparsely-settled West relied mostly on Chinese laborers, who did prodigious work building the line over and through the Sierra Nevada mountains and then across Nevada to their meeting in northern Utah.

If only the "Peace Now" Israelis took their heads out of that Haaretz rag and wiped their tookhes with it instead. Below's the mind set of the Pali pus-pots you think you can kiss and make up with.
Terror Bomber Barghouti
Convicted Fatah terrorist Marwan Barghouti, currently serving five life terms in Israeli prison for his role in several terror attacks during the second intifada, would win a presidential electionagainst both Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, a poll released this week found. The poll, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), shows clear improvement in the standing of Haniyeh and Hamas during the second quarter of 2012, while Abbas and his Fatah movement have declined in popularity during the same period.

You see "Peace Now" people... even the Islamofascist Hamas is no longer extreme enough for the degenerate Palestinian bastards. So...are you still going for that old Chamberlain cry of "peace in our time"? Yes? Oh deary me...there really is no fucking hope for you lot! (Photo: Copyright Control)
African Americans make up just 13.6% of the population in the US but they make up 40% of the prison population. Meanwhile, Asian Americans - many of whose ancestors arrived on US shores without English, poorly educated and with less than zilch - are forging ahead. The question is: Why the Asian success? The answer is very much the same for the Asian contingent as it was for the Jewish one which went before: the vital importance of a good education; that coupled with a positive can-do attitude no matter the obstacles put before them. For this formula is identified as the pathway to success whither it be the new immigrant or first born in the adopted country. A Personal Story: By Tony Sagami. Things have changed significantly for the better since 1957, when my mother and I journeyed to the United States from Japan. Our long, two-month trip on a slow naval transport ship must have been frightening to my then-20-year old mother. But she was eager to start a new life in America ... a place where anybody who studied hard and worked hard could be successful. “In America, anybody can get rich if they work hard,” she told me. Those lectures and demands for academic excellence from my mother paid off for me, my siblings and my children. Today, Asian-Americans are the best-educated, highest-income and fastest-growing group in the United States, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. The opportunities for Asians to advance their education and/or their incomes in America are leading to very many opportunities
Asian Students out in the field.
My brother is a high-level executive at Nordstrom, my sister is a skilled physical therapist, and my children have always done well in school. My oldest son Ryan will soon begin his PhD studies, and my daughter Keiko was a perfect 4.0 student and the valedictorian of her class. I am sad to say that my mother died 11 years ago from cancer, but her dreams have become a reality for my family and other Asian-American families all over the United States. A new study from the Pew Research Center, “The Rise of Asian Americans,” showed just how far Asian-Americans have come. The Pew Research reported that Asians are now immigrating into the U.S. in greater numbers than Latinos, which was quite a surprise to me. Last year, Asian-Americans accounted for 36% of all immigrants while Hispanics accounted for 31%. Pew concludes that this shift in immigration leadership was a combination of declining illegal immigration from Mexico because of beefier border control and a weak U.S. economy; while the demand for highly skilled workers from India, China and South Korea increased. Overall, Asian-Americans still make up a fairly small percentage of our population. The 2011 Census numbers showed that 5.8% of the population is Asian while 16.7% is Hispanic. (the six largest Asian subgroups being: Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, Vietnamese, Koreans and Japanese).
Asians’ Ascent in America. These immigrants all have one thing in common: They are looking for a better life and are willing to work hard and take on the challenges in order to achieve this. When my grandfather, Fusakichi Sagami, arrived in the U.S. more than a hundred years ago, he and other Asian-American immigrants were uneducated and limited to what Pew Research called “low-skilled, low-wage” jobs. My grandfather worked in kitchens as a dishwasher and then as a cook until he saved enough money to buy a small vegetable farm in western Washington. His hard work of those of the early immigrants has paid off. “A century ago, most Asian-Americans were low-skilled, low-wage laborers crowded into ethnic enclaves and targets of official discrimination,” says Pew. These days, the median annual household income of Asian-Americans was reported at $66,000, with Indian-Americans accounting for $88,000, compared with a U.S. national average of $49,800.
The educational credentials of the new immigrants are impressive. 61% of the immigrants from Asia ages 25 to 64 have at least a bachelor’s degree, making them the most highly educated group of immigrants in U.S. history. That is double the percentage of non-Asian immigrants. Finding Education in America.
Asians are not only coming to the U.S. to work but also to attend college. Today, the majority of international students enrolled at U.S. colleges are from Asian countries. Those Asian students are focusing on science degrees. Among all doctorate-holders who live in America, a majority in computer science (57%), electrical engineering (57%), civil engineering (54%) and mechanical engineering (52%) come from abroad. Now, those Asian students don’t just show up in the U.S. and enroll in Harvard or Stanford. Every foreign student needs to prove his or her proficiency in English by passing the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and this they do, before going on and out into their lives. Education, education, education is not just some meaningless slogan; and these who ignore it's message will, and currently do, live very much with the consequences. (C) Tony Sagami.

President Barack Obama, in his desire to establish credentials as the killer of Osama bin Laden, in his desire to get re-elected, Obama has badly hurt America’s ability to acquire data on terrorists.
My re election is so much more important...
The Obama Administration outed a sensitive Saudi-British penetration of Al-qaeda which revealed ongoing plans to use more “underwear bombers” against the West. The Obama leak was designed to make Obama look good, but it destroyed a highly valuable penetration of Al-Qaeda.
Similarly, Obama’s team outed what appears to be an Israeli-led effort to stop Iran’s nuclear bomb program by using sophisticated computer viruses. Obama and Co. wanted part of the credit, and so the story came out with nice pat on the back for Obama.
This is part of a pattern for this administration. It invited film crews to the White House to film the made-for-TV movie about Obama VS. Osama. Sensitive information about US procedures leaked out.
Intelligence and intelligence sources come in many forms. Police know this. They jealously guard their undercover efforts and their data. With terror it is even more important, because the real purpose of counter-terror operations is preventing the terror act, not winning a conviction in court.
Israeli officials often decide not to try for a conviction against terrorists in open court, always preferring to stop the terror attack before it can materialize, especially in the case of a “ticking bomb”—a terror assault that is already in the pipeline. The cardinal rule is always the same:
ONE NEVER THROWS AWAY COUNTER-TERROR INTELLIGENCE.
This means technological or signal intelligence—such as wiretaps or monitored bank records or radiation or heat traces, and it also means human intelligence such as penetrating a terror organization or getting information from terrorists who are captured.
Since 2002, Western counter-terror intelligence brought us slowly but surely to Osama Bin-Laden, but more importantly, it saved thousands of American and British lives by alerting us to plots for huge terror attacks in London, Miami and Los Angeles, among many others.
The intelligence saved thousands of lives, but President Obama and his team have taken a cavalier and almost arrogant approach to counter-terror intelligence, and they spill it when it is politically convenient.
Intelligence and imagination are the two main weapons against terror, not drone air craft. The Obama team seems to be unarmed—having given away intelligence, while, like Clinton, never really pursuing the intuitive need for imagining where and how terrorists might be preparing to strike.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and counter-terror aide John Brennan are noted for their ability to spill information. Bill and Hillary Clinton have been among the big braggers about getting Bin-Laden. This is the same Bill Clinton who barely met with some of his CIA and FBI directors while he served as president from 1993-2000 when Al-qaeda was preparing 9-11.
Data on hostile radical Muslims that reaches the intelligence community is often treated as “prejudiced,” as not “politically correct.” That is exactly how the *Fort Hood massacre happened because Army personnel were told to ignore MajorNidal Malik Hassan’s pre-murder performance!
The Fort Hood attack could have been prevented, according to a 61-page Senate report, but the information was ignored.
Look Ben...we don't want Islamic nutters with
nukes either!
High-ranking officials in Jerusalem yesterday were pleased with the quiet agreement that Israel reached with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Russia won’t shed a tear.” said the officials. Putin is keenly aware of the fact that a radical Islamic regime with nuclear capabilities on its southern border won’t contribute anything to Russian national security.
Meanwhile...in the UK: MI5 Director: The Arab Spring provided new breeding ground for British terrorists!

A bit of the bleedin' obvious here, but nevertheless it's a most welcome statement from the big chief.
But gosh Rodger....Abdul swore he
was just a simple keeper
of camels.
So much Mills & Boon type romance has spewed out of the media about the so called Arab Spring, from the likes of the Guardian (UK), New York Times and other liberal loopies, that a shot of realism up their collective botties is long overdue...not that it will cure them from their deluded, wishful non-thinking.

Roy Kelton Orbison (April 23, 1936 – December 6, 1988) was an American singer-songwriter, best known for his distinctive, powerful voice, complex compositions, and dark emotional ballads. Orbison grew up in Texas and began singing in a rockabilly/country and western band in high school until he was signed by Sun Records in Memphis. Between 1960 and 1964, he had 22 of his songs placed on the Billboard Top Forty, including "Only the Lonely", "Crying", and "Oh, Pretty Woman" Lacking the photogenic looks of many of his rock and roll contemporaries, Orbison eventually developed a persona. He had no publicist in the early 1960s, no presence in fan magazines, and his single sleeves did not feature his picture. Life magazine called him an "anonymous celebrity". Tragedy struck Orbison on June 6, 1966, when he and his wife Claudette were riding home from Bristol, Tennessee. She was struck by a semi-trailer truck and died instantly.Orbison was initiated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 by longtime admirer Bruce Springsteen. The same year he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame two years later. Rolling Stone placed Orbison at number 37 on their list of The Greatest Artists of All Time, and number 13 on their list of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
