Fig Trees and Vineyards – by Richard Edmondson

It’s kind of one of those pictures that are “worth a thousand words,” don’t you think? What you’re looking at is Obama onstage with media mogul and Israeli dual national Haim Saban, who has stated previously, “I’m a one issue guy, and my issue is Israel.” The photo was taken last weekend at the Saban Forum, held in Washington. During the event Saban and Obama appeared together for what was billed as a “conversation” on the Middle East, but basically it was a one-on-one press conference—with Saban doing the grilling and Obama doing the answering. Do the facial expressions in the photo, the body language, suggest anything to you—like for instance which of the two figures is dominant and which is submissive?   Continue reading “Who is the Boss and Who is the Servant in this Photo?”

You’d think that social welfare groups would promote, well, social welfare causes. When you hear the phrase “social welfare organization,” you might think of public advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union or the Human Rights Campaign.

In reality, a growing number of these nonprofit organizations are less focused on promoting social welfare and more interested in pumping millions of dollars worth of anonymous donations into politics.   Continue reading “Here’s the Shady Way So-called “Nonprofits” Are Funneling Millions Into Politics”

On Tuesday, conservative news outlets in the United States decided that the best way to commemorate the life of Nelson Mandela, and to report on the memorial services in his honor, was to manufacture a controversy about an AFP photo of President Barack Obama shooting a selfie with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt. According to Fox News, the “international incident” was so bad that, “The tsk-tisk-ing could be heard across continents.”   Continue reading “8 Photos You Didn’t See From Obama’s Trip to South Africa”

Despite the reams of bad press big banks have received for their sometimes questionable antics, a surprising number of Americans say they actually quite like their banks.

Customer satisfaction with banks is now at a six-year high, according to a study released Tuesday by the American Customer Satisfaction Index. The satisfaction rating rose 1.3% compared with last year, hitting 78 out of 100 (100 is the highest).    Continue reading “Americans to big banks: We forgive you”

I have truly been surprised over the last few days about how much all the reports on the Electric Jew and in the Jewish controlled newspapers have concentrated on the death of the former South African communist and terrorist leader, Nelson Mandela.   It has been sickening to see all of the reports calling this person one of the “greatest men” in all history, without telling the truth about how this man sought a violent revolution to take over South Africa and cared little about how many people, either black or white, that died in the process… Few know that he was imprisoned for some 27 years not because of “Apartheid” but because of his criminal and terrorist acts against South Africa itself!   Continue reading “Nelson Mandela: Communist, Terrorist, Rabble-Rouser!”

In Iceland, police are mourning the unprecedented shooting death of a suspect. In the United States, police are scandalized by the unfamiliar spectacle of an officer using non-lethal means to subdue and arrest an emotionally unstable man who appeared to be armed. Icelandic police are stunned and grieving because officers took a human life. Some American cops are alarmed by the “recklessness” displayed by an officer who spared the life of a Mundane.

The fatal police shooting of a 59-year-old Icelandic man on December 2 was the first to take place in that country since it achieved independence in 1944.    Continue reading “What’s Wrong with Police in Iceland?”
