#ChapelHillShooting victim: Anti-Semite and pro-terrorist

If you read the comments this morning, you would have seen that someone has taken me to task for having the gall to tell people not to cry too much over Kayla Mueller. I'm sure there will be people who will criticize this post as well.

Deah Barakat was one of three Muslims who was killed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Wednesday morning in what may have been an argument over a parking space

Random thoughts about random things

Andrew McCarthy has some random thoughts about the things that folks do.

I don’t understand why folks are giving
President Obama and his spokes-minions such a hard time over his
insistence that Ahmedy Coulibaly, the terrorist who just happened to be
Muslim committing terrorism that had nothing to do with Islam, was just
“randomly” picking out folks in Paris to kill when he randomly came

Krauthammer: Administration Looked Silly Pretending Terrorist Attack was not Anti-Semitic

Charles Krauthammer said it was foolish for the Obama administration to
pretend that the January terrorist attack on a Kosher deli in Paris was
not motivated by anti-Semitism.

This administration can't get anything right, can they? Maybe because they don't want to get it right.

Cross Jeb Bush off my list?

I may be able to cross Jeb Bush off the list of potential candidates for whom I would vote. The Wall Street Journal reports that Bush's foreign policy is more likely to be like his father's than his brother's. George W. Bush may not have been perfect (although between 2002-05 he was awfully close to it), but he was far better than his father, George H.W. Bush, whose hostility to Israel has only

Obama: 'No Jews to see here'

President Obama may have sent his spokespeople to walk back his (and their) earlier comments about the murders of four Jews in a Paris Kosher supermarket being 'random,' but Mark Steyn isn't buying the walkback and neither should you.

Jew-hate in Europe, and I have noted, aside from the physical attacks,

White House also doubles down on Obama claim that Paris Kosher supermarket attack was 'random'

Worse than a blind spot

In an eye-catching headline, Ed Driscoll refers to Barack Hussein Obama's blind spot to anti-Semitism. Driscoll is referring to yesterday's news that President Obama referred to the Paris supermarket massacre as a random shooting.

Only Europe stands between Obama and a nuclear Iran
