What is it about pro golfer Tiger Woods’ recent car crash that has captivated the world? Is it because he is one of the greatest athletes of all time? Or because he has gone to great lengths to keep his private life private? Is it because tabloids are spreading rumors that he’s involved in a love […]
The Philippines is one of the most westernized countries in Asia with strong ties to the US and the United Nations. Yet a local warlord that doubles as a governor, Andal Ampatuan, just massacred 57 people —12 of which were journalists — to prevent a gubernatorial candidate from filing his papers. Sound crazy? I’ll say. What’s crazier is what we […]
Massive car bombs and suicide bombers. Rocket and organized gun attacks. Senseless killings of innocent civilians and city officials. Take away the scenery and language, and the threat of terrorist attacks in Northern Ireland is not that much different from those in Israel. So what does the recent 400-pound car bomb that failed to detonate […]
The silver screen is infamous for featuring bumbling intelligence agents who hoard sensitive information from local agencies. This is not too far from the truth when it comes to the bloodbath at Ft. Hood. Consider the FBI monitored email exchanges released Saturday in the Washington Post. True to Oscar Wilde’s quote, “Reality imitates art far […]
Some neighborhoods grow flowers. Others grow gardens. And still others tend to a virulent crop: homegrown jihadists. Take John Allen Muhammad for instance. Muhammad is the notorious DC sniper who mowed down at least 10 people in his path. He terrorized the greater part of DC, even turning his .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle (the civilian version of the […]
Remind me again why the federal government is dead set on paying a figure that could top$75 million in security measures to prosecute five alleged 9/11 co-conspirators, including mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, when it just released our widest-ever deficit of $176.36 billion in October? This is just one of the shockers that occurred in Wednesday’s Senate […]
Storytelling is an admirable practice when its purveyors do so to entertain or impart lessons. But what happens when a disenfranchised group bent on killing you hijacks your history, spins it for their benefit and hoodwinks the rest of the world? This is exactly what the Palestinian movement has done to Israel. Let’s not forget the […]
Accusing three American hikers of espionage for straying into Iran is the same as saying soccer moms that inadvertently drive into the ‘hood are crack dealers. Moronic? Most definitely. But that isn’t helping University of California, Berkeley graduates Shane Bauer, 27, Sarah Shourd, 31 and Joshua Fattal, 27. All were hiking until their vacation ended […]
Some scenarios in life just don’t make sense. Consider how you would feel if your surgeon botched your routine procedure due to his undisclosed case of Parkinson’s? Or that after drilling on your cavity for nearly two hours your dentist apologizes while saying she will soon undergo double cataract surgery? Or what if the US […]
How often have we heard reports of Arabs throwing rocks or firebombs at Israeli vehicles? Or Hamas and Hezbollah-led terrorist attacks claiming lives of Israeli men, women and children? Or Arab-led Anti-Semitic propaganda being taught to children and reinforced through schools, mosques and television? Or the never-ending cyber attacks on Israel’s government infrastructure? Or what […]
