"An attempt to punish "aggravated homosexuality" in Uganda with the death penalty has caused outrage across the world - and revealed a huge divide in Ugandan society. "Even my friends who are not gay are now scared because they think if this bill is passed, they'll be targeted," says Julian Pepe, an openly gay Ugandan who campaigns for homosexual rights." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

Obama talks about "negative" and "positive liberties" in his 2001 audio tape recording. this is why "positive liberties" are an evil thing. Obama thinks because he thinks he is right that positive liberties are a good thing. Obviously some people in Uganda think likewise. government should be restricted... never enabled to be proactive. the end result of a proactive system is this. when... more... - Noah David Simon

Late last year, Matt Labash had a brilliant article at the Weekly Standard on Detroit’s woes; despite what the handsome Ford pickup in the random frame capture appears to portend, PJTV’s Stephen Crowder supplies the appropriately dystopian visuals: [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed.

Cairo seeks to stop smuggling under Gaza border And of course the genocidal Hamas seethes with rage over it, because it will seriously crimp their weapons smuggling business under the border. How many of you believe that the current indifference by the international community towards the Egyptian wall building at the Gaza border would exist, if Cairo was substituted with Jerusalem? KGS PA cancels Miss Palestine beauty pageant (as predicted) Egypt's metal wall sparks crisis with Hamas Egypt's decision to build an underground metal wall along its border with the Gaza Strip has triggered a crisis between Cairo and Hamas. Hamas leaders believe that the wall is being constructed as part of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's desire to punish the Islamist movement for its refusal to sign an Egyptian-engineered "reconciliation accord" with Fatah several weeks ago. Moreover, Hamas believes that Mubarak is also seeking "revenge" because the movement has preferred German mediation to Egyptian...

I'm sure you will all be as disappointed as Hillary Clinton was to hear that the 'Miss Palestine' contest has been canceled. Clinton was a leading candidate for the title. The Palestinian Authority on Sunday cancelled the first Miss Palestine beauty contest that was supposed to take place in Ramallah later this week under the pretext that it coincides with the first anniversary of Operation Cast

The Jews are going to have to take sides in the coming war against Israel and the Jews. Either you fight this century's nazis or you aid your executioners. Read the whole thing. Here's an excerpt: .Non-Jews are demonstrating on 13th December against the anti-Semitism being taught in mosques which goes unchallenged by politicians, the media and so-called ‘moderate' Muslims. Jews cannot, in all conscience, leave it to non-Jews to protest on the behalf of Jews who are once again the world's whipping boy." But they did. The Community Security Trust, a leading Jewish group in Britain, urged the Jewish community there not to support the demonstration. The CST said in a statement that it "has drawn attention to the Islamaphobic comments on SIOE's website, and compared the group to the English Defence League, and the BNP's Nick Griffin, who have attempted to gain support from Jews through pro-Israel and anti-Muslim statements.... A demonstration against Harrow mosque under the banner ‘Stop...

The unceasing acts of attrition in the Rifqa Bary case go on and on, one after another. It would be comical if it weren't so dangerous. The Islamic machine is attempting to wear her down, grind her down by this constant friction and mental abuse. The persecution is so obvious and so mundane that no one seems to take notice. The banality of evil. Why is America jurisprudence crumbling before our very eyes? Modernity bowing to Islam, and it is systemic, nationwide. Rifqa was betrayed in Florida just as she is being betrayed in Ohio. Her hapless legal counsel in Florida was almost slapstick in their ineptitude. Ohio counsel is proving to be more of the same if not worse. Wasn't a Muslim psychiatrist assigned to Rifqa in Florida? How cruel and inhuman.That should never have happened. And now the Bary's CAIR appointed lawyer is asking the court to hold her in contempt to force her to attend counseling sessions with a Muslim counselor. There is no counsel in Islam, just absolutes. Leave...

Well I think that celebrating Ramadan in Christian countries should be against the law as should the building of mosques. Better yet, why not just make it illegal to be a Muslim in a Christian country? Vladimir Putin had the right idea when a Muslim leader complained that no mosques are allowed to be built in [...]

Iran now says that it is willing to consider nuclear fuel swaps, but it asks the West 'please don't threaten us.' On Friday, the French news agency AFP quoted Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as having said that Iran would be willing to reach a deal with the West over its controversial nuclear program as soon as the U.S. and other Western nations stopped issuing threats against Iran."

Denial of service outages plagued the Blackberry network and Twitter networks during the past 24 hours.

Just a day after Today featured a wildlife expert exploiting the cuteness of an Arctic fox to scare viewers about the threat of global warming, NBC's Ann Curry, on Thursday's Today, invited on a polar photographer to show off his pictures of cuddly creatures, he believes are threatened by climate change. In the 9:30 am half hour Curry prompted photographer Paul Nicklen, "What have you seen about what's happening in these parts of the world where we don't get to go, that, that relates to this issue of climate change?" to which Nicklen pronounced the "Debate's over." The following is the relevant exchange as it was aired on the December 17 Today show: ANN CURRY: You're also a diver, as I understand. We just saw pictures underwater. PAUL NICKLEN: Right. I do most of my work under, here, you know diving under this ice, 29-degree Fahrenheit water, extremely cold, to go under that ice. And not only do you have to survive there under the ice, you have to go down and not even just make...

(JPOST).Israel is willing to sit down for talks with the Palestinians, but with no preconditions or further gestures, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Thursday evening, stressing that the most recent overture was a tactical and temporary move."In practice, we have not been building for a year and a half, so why pretend," he said in an address at the Ariel University Center.

Is the U.S. basically at wit's end on Iran's nukes, and passively assuming Israel will "deal with" the problem? So a Washington Post op-ed, seemingly drawing on inside information, claims. I discuss the issue today on Frontpage.

In no particular order, here they are: (and yes, these are generalizations) Semi-dark room - dim enough to make you think the guy introducing himself is actually Potential; not dark enough to hide his really awkward dance moves. Empty Dance floor - NY Jews just don't like to dance in front of other NY Jews. Except of course, for the aforementioned non-Potential, and that one couple making babies in full view (they're either Israeli, or she's fulfilling his shiksa fantasy). Over-priced tickets - because everything else about being Jewish costs more, so of course they can charge Jews $50 to come to an otherwise free public space. And don't forget to bring your wallet - drinks are definitely not covered. Really Bad Music - this could explain #2. But there really is no explanation for a DJ who switches to trance when everyone's happily singing along to Black Eyed Peas. VIP sections without any actual VIPs - just another ploy to get Jews to shell out more dough. Some party planners think...

Your tax dollars at work.

The percentages of Judea and Samaria that Israel has been willing to give up for a fake 'peace' with the 'Palestinians' are overwhelming. 88%. 92%. 96%. 98%. But what does it all mean for Israel's security? That's a factor that most people outside Israel don't understand (except for vague references to those percentages endangering Ben Gurion Airport) and don't consider in deciding on our behalf

First Livni, now Abbas. How can you have courts and justice if nobody will cooperate?Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, a member of Hamas's political bureau, said Tuesday that his Movement filed a lawsuit against Mahmoud Abbas for telling lies and rumors about Hamas, categorically denying that his Movement suggested a presidential and legislative extension for several years. In a press statement to Al-Jazeera net, Dr. Zahhar noted that the lawsuit was filed after Abbas fabricated lies about the escape of Hamas leaders to Egypt during Israel's war on Gaza. He added that the charges were pressed with Gaza courts, but he ruled...

A new CBS News/New York Times poll reveals some bad news for the folks over in Copenhagen - just 37% of Americans rate the issue as a high priority for government leaders.

Last month, President Obumbler was in China, where he told Chinese President Hu Jintao that he couldn't hold Israel off forever from attacking Iran's nuclear weapons program. It seemed that the Chinese had gotten the message when they voted to condemn Iran in the IAEA.But it quickly became clear that the Chinese didn't get it. Just a few days later, the Chinese said that sanctions were not the
