Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster speaking in Ontario, says:
I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another
mosque being built here in Toronto. I think it should be the goal of
every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs.
Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to
the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We
could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, The Turban Cowboy,
and the other, a topless bar, would be called You Mecca Me Hot.
Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and
adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called Iraq of
Ribs.
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called Victoria
Keeps Nothing Secret, with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the
goods, and on the other side a liquor store called Morehammered.
All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they
demand of us.
Yes, we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing
this on. And if you are not laughing or smiling at this point... It
is either past your bedtime, or its midnight at the oasis and time to
put your camel to bed.

A message to liberal activists about the Electoral College.
The 538 members of the Electoral College yesterday cast their votes in one of the last steps to making Donald Trump's win official. Congress will certify Trump on Jan. 6 as the 45th president of the United States. For weeks, liberal celebrities and activists have demonstrated and campaigned for replacing the Electoral College with the national popular vote to determine who wins the presidency. Hans von Spakovsky, manager of Heritage's Election Law Reform Initiative, explains why the Electoral College is important: "If you go back to the Framers, they wanted an Electoral College because they wanted to create a balance between the heavily populated and less-populated areas of the country. They were afraid that if a president was elected by a national popular vote, the candidates would only go to the big cities, they would ignore the rural areas—the places that folks in New York call 'flyover country.'"

A powerful tool for the new Congress and President-elect Trump.
The rampant rulemaking of the Obama administration has hurt businesses and consumers, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel of red tape. A congressional tool enacted over 20 years ago, created to make it easier for Congress to repeal regulations (but only used once successfully), is about to make a comeback. During the next few months, the Congressional Review Act, could become one of the most significant weapons in the fight against the rising amount of red tape. Rules under the Dodd-Frank financial regulation law, sick leave for federal contractors, offshore drilling rules, energy mandates for home appliances—all of these and more could be rolled back. It is a truly target-rich environment, and a historic opportunity for Congress. Read more in Heritage's new report about how the stars are aligning for the Congressional Review Act.

Lar of Galen...The good news is that Putin will break a broomstick off in ISIS' butt. The bad news is that we are on either side. BO didn't make a big deal last year about Russian hacking attempts because he wanted to get his boyfriend's support against ISIS. But when Hillary lost, The Russians suddenly became the bad guys. Let me say it again: There are no good guys here. Putin is a Commie who wants to continue the hundreds-of-years-long Russian/Soviet tradition of bullying and invading its neighbors. Asad has supported terrorist organizations like the PLO, Hezbollah, etc. for decades. And the "rebels" are ISIS, just a competing band of Islamo-thugs. Kill them all and let God sort them out. Then add Russia and China to the dustbin of history, and tell France, Great Britain, and Germany -- hell, all of Europe -- to pull their heads out of their asses. What?!? Terrorists in Berlin??!! And the scumbag was a "refugee"??!!??!!!?? I am shocked SHOCKED!! The obvious solution to this terrible situation is to import a few hundred thousand to your neighborhood, showing that you're not a racist. Yeah, that'll fix everything.
Russians (supposedly) hacked the DNC, leading to the leaking of emails of the DNC, Obama administration, and Clinton campaign that exposed them all as lying, treasonous, hypocrites -- and Hillary STILL got more votes than Trump.
QUESTION: So, why is this all such a big deal that requires millions of taxpayer dollars so we can investigate how and why the Russians "interfered" with our election? (Other than the fact that the Dems have such sorry cyber security)

Lies Secretary of State Kerry Told During His Big Middle East Peace Speech

On
Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry gave a speech on his proposed plan for
peace between Israelis and Arabs. His plan: blame the Jews, pretend that
Palestinian terrorism and incitement isn’t representative of the actual
Palestinian government, and then blather for 69 more minutes. His speech razed
facts to the ground in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.
Here
were ten of the worst lies and lies-by-omission Kerry purveyed in his ode to
lying and self-indulgence:
1.
Equating Jewish Settlements and Palestinian Terrorism. Israel has been
wracked by a wave of stabbings and shootings and rocket attacks from
Palestinian terrorists over the last two years. Kerry spent a few minutes on
that, but only in order to draw moral equivalence with Jews building additional
bathrooms in East Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. “The truth is that trends
on the ground, violence, terrorism, settlement expansion, and the seemingly
endless occupation, they are combining to destroy hopes for peace on both
sides,” Kerry said. This is nonsense. Before there were any Jewish
settlements – when Israel did not control Judea, Samaria, or Gaza – the
Palestine Liberation Organization called for the “liberation” of Palestine,
meaning the complete destruction of Israel. The problem isn’t people building
homes. It’s Palestinians murdering Jews, and refusing to accept that any
home built by a Jew ought to exist in the Middle East.
2.
“If The Choice Is One State, Israel Can Either Be Jewish Or Democratic. It
Cannot Be Both.” This
is patently absurd. There has been one state in the area between the Jordan and
the Mediterranean for some 50 years. That state has been democratic. This lie
rests on two absurd contentions: first, that if Israel were to annex all Judea
and Samaria, Jews would be outnumbered by Arabs; second, that if Israel were to
annex all lands, Israel would have to grant all Palestinian Arabs full
citizenship or face status as an apartheid state. The first claim is simply
false – Jews outnumber Palestinian Arabs outside of the Gaza Strip by a factor
of two-to-one, and Jews now have the equivalent birth rate of Palestinian Arabs,
and will soon have a higher birth rate, as Caroline
Glick points out,
meaning that Jewish majority status will increase, not decrease. Second, the
United States does not offer citizenship to all the people living within its
borders, or over territories over which it has sovereignty. Puerto Rico
is governed semi-autonomously, but citizens of Puerto Rico cannot vote in
presidential elections in the United States. Israel could easily grant green
cards to Palestinian residents while also giving them local control of their
governance without a national vote.

3.
Peace Will Only Be Realized With a Palestinian Terror State. The notion that
peace depends on the establishment of a Palestinian terror state – and that’s
what will be established, given that the unity government of the Palestinians
now includes Hamas and Islamic Jihad alongside Fatah – is asinine. Israel has
had to blockade Gaza because Hamas controls it, and is attempting to take
military shipments from Iran. Adding another Iran-backed terror proxy state to
the Middle Eastern map is a great way to encourage a two-front war against
Israel, given the presence of Hezbollahstan on Israel’s northern border.
4.
“No American Administration Has Done More For The Security of Israel Than
Barack Obama’s.” To
put it mildly, LOL. LOLOLOLOLOL. Funny guy, this Kerry. Here’s a timeline of Obama’s
“support” for Israel. That timeline doesn’t even include the Iran nuclear deal
or the current UN resolution hubbub.
5.
Israeli Intransigence Is The Problem. Nope. Not even close. In 2008, Israeli
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered 94.2 percent of Judea and Samaria to the
Palestinians, a corridor that would link that territory to the Gaza Strip, land
swaps that would increase Palestinian land holdings, a formula for division of
Jerusalem. Abbas refused the deal. In 2000, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered a
similar deal. Yassar Arafat refused it. Palestinians have never accepted any
deal offered by the Israelis. Israelis continue to offer. But the problem is
clearly the mean, nasty Israelis. And by the way, that awful Netanyahu fellow
offered to freeze settlements early in the Obama administration, and the
Palestinians responded with violence.
6.
Settlements Are Illegal. No, they aren’t. Kerry declared over and over that
Israelis settling east of the so-called green line are living there illegally.
That’s patent
nonsense.
He also suggested that no Jews would be allowed to live inside a new
Palestinian state, because Jews would object – ignoring, of course, that
Palestinians would quickly murder any Jew remaining in a Palestinian state, and
Jews have a slight objection to being murdered. Right now, over a million Arabs
live inside Israel. Virtually no Jews live in the Muslim world because they
were expelled, and quickly absorbed into Israel.
7.
Equating Palestinian Government With Israeli Government. Perhaps the most
insane spectacle was Kerry suggesting that the Netanyahu government is beholden
to the “most extreme elements” in Israeli politics, while pooh-poohing
Palestinian government support for terrorism. Kerry suggested that Hamas was a
troublesome rogue group as opposed to an integral part of the Palestinian unity
government.
8.
Israel As Purported Burden To The United States. Kerry spent
serious time talking about how the United States had subsumed its own interests
in order to give military aid to Israel. Of course, the Obama administration
has also given aid to the Palestinian unity terror government, and attempted to
block weapons shipments in the middle of the Gaza terror war. And even the
Obama administration says that such aid is good
for the United States defense industry; a huge percentage of American aid to
Israel is a subsidy to domestic defense contractors. Israel is America’s only
democratic ally in the region.
9.
The UN Resolution Changed Nothing. Kerry kept stating that the UN resolution
didn’t do much to change the status quo. That’s false. This UN resolution said
that all territories outside the 1949 Israel armistice lines – the
“Auschwitz borders” – are occupied, including Jerusalem and holy sites like the
Western Wall. It calls for all settlements in those areas “flagrant” violations
of international law. There’s a reason Kerry pushed this thing through: of course
it changes things.
10.
The Obama Administration’s Maneuvers Help Peace. This is the
opposite of the truth. America’s position for two decades has been that it
would not cram down a peace deal on the Israelis and Palestinians – all issues
would have to be resolved through bilateral negotiations. By placing the onus
for all concessions on Israel and making Israel subject to the possibility of
blowback from the International Court of Justice, Obama just allowed
Palestinians to abandon any pretense at negotiations and stand on their
newfound “rights.”
Kerry’s
speech was chock full of lies. But here’s the good news: nobody will remember
it a month from now, just as nobody will remember John Kerry’s legacy beyond
his slander of American soldiers in Vietnam.
