VIDEO: City of Bell Fast-Tracks Federally-Funded Shelter to House Obama's Illegal Aliens — #BorderInvasion

Scandal-plagued City of Bell is fast-tracking its plans to warehouse Obama's federally-funded criminal and diseased illegal aliens from Central America.

There was  rancorous debate at the City Hall last night, but the plan is approved.

At LAT, "Bell backs plan for immigration detainee shelter in city."

And watch, from CBS News Los Angeles:

Larry Sabato: GOP Has 'No Lock' on Senate Majority in November

I like Sabato, although I'm much more bullish than he is. I expect public opinion polls are a lagging indicator of the extreme discontent out there, and the Democrats are going to get hammered. And unlike Sabato, I don't discount foreign policy, since while polls show Americans oppose U.S. military intervention in current overseas crises, the public is very unhappy with President Obama's leadership. (Oh, and don't forget the illegal immigrant invasion, heh. Americans want a secure border and the Democrats just don't get it. They're gonna get slaughtered.)

Be that as it may, here's Sabato's Crystal Ball, "Senate: 2014 a Year All Its Own: Republicans’ takeover odds remain decent, but this isn’t 2006 or 2010."

'If you’re anti-Israel, then you’re anti-America...'

Listen, at Truth Revolt, "Howard Stern Gives Impassioned Defense of Israel":

If you’re anti-Israel, then you’re anti-America. It’s the only democracy over there, it’s the only friend we have who’s willing to fight and stand up for what’s right.

Nazi Jihad: Hitler's Long Shadow Over Israel

Here's a must-read post from Jeff Goldstein, at Protein Wisdom, "Hitler’s Long Shadow over Israel":

I’m getting beyond incensed over the rise of anti-Semitism both here and in westernized (socialist) Europe, and all the useful idiots who haven’t a fucking clue that they’re supposed “principled” stand against “Israeli racist apartheid butchers” is nothing more than a collaboration with none other than Hitler himself. It’s like his demons spirit has possessed them....

Never again means never again. You want to play radical chic? You’d best do it from behind the anonymity of your keyboard, then, you barbarian-stroking pussies. Because if I show up at a counterprotest in support of Israel and you lay your hands on me in some mob attempt to intimidate Jews, I guarantee at least one of you is going to pull back a fucking bloody stump.

Reports: Hamas Rockets Cited in Deadly Attack on U.N. Shelter in Beit Hanoun, Gaza

Here's the report on the Beit Hanoun shelling, at the New York Times, "Airstrike Hits School Sheltering Gaza Civilians." The Times claims it was an "apparent Israeli strike" that hit the compound, but there are conflicting reports.

UNRWA Spokesman Chris Gunness indicates that Hamas rockets were also falling in the same area as well:

Also being reported there were Hamas rockets falling in Beit Hanoun today RT

— Chris Gunness (@ChrisGunness) July 24, 2014

And the IDF issued this statement, "IDF SMS regarding Beit Hanoun":

The IDF is currently in the midst of combat, with Hamas terrorists in the area of Beit Hanoun, who are using civilian infrastructure and international symbols as human shields. In the course of the afternoon, several rockets launched by Hamas from within the Gaza Strip landed in the Beit Hanoun area. The IDF is reviewing the incident.

Any war with Hamas and the anti-Israel left is a information war. The facts are unknown on the bombing at Beit Hanoun, but the media's rush to judgment always indicts the Israelis first.

Expect updates...

Israel Pounds Gaza — As Well It Should

I'm surprised this letter to the Los Angeles Times was even considered by the editors, much less published as the lead at that section.

See, "Who'll stop the killing in the Gaza Strip?":

To the editor: Although it is true that too many people are dying, your headline for the print version of this story ("'Too many innocent people are dying'") was unfair because it undercut what Israel has attempted to do: minimize Arab casualties while trying to defend the safety of its citizens. I know of no other country that is so moral that it calls civilians to warn them that the country is about to attack. ("Israel pounds Gaza neighborhood it says is rocket-launching site," July 20)

Yes, too many people are dying. The Israelis want no one to die; what they do want is the violence against their country stopped.

The Arabs argue about Israel not being moral enough. But where is the Arabs' moral ground? How is it that they don't complain when Hamas puts its weapons in tunnels under homes and schools, acting like they do not care if their people live or die?

If Hamas doesn't want people to die, it should agree to the proposed cease-fire, as Israel did. Thank you for every effort you make to be more fair.

Obama's Illegals Heading to Bourne, Massachusetts?

Well, not if local patriots can help it.

It's the Murrieta model, in the Bay State.

At the Boston Globe, "Officials in Bourne decry plan to bring migrant children."

Plus, "Voters split on sheltering migrant children in Mass. Globe poll finds divisions over plan by Patrick, other immigration issues":

Massachusetts voters are split on Governor Deval Patrick’s plan to provide temporary shelter for up to 1,000 unaccompanied immigrant children on a state air base or military training installation, according to a new Boston Globe poll.

Given the details of Patrick’s proposal, including the fact that the facilities would be staffed and paid for by the federal government and open for up to four months, 50 percent of those polled expressed support, with 43 percent opposed. That’s within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

But on national immigration initiatives, respondents were more skeptical. Asked more broadly whether the migrant children should be allowed to stay in the United States after judicial hearings, only 39 percent answered yes, compared with 43 percent who said the children should be deported.

Also at the Lowell Sun, "Debate over immigrant children coming to Massachusetts hits the House floor."

Be sure to stay with the video to about 2:45 minutes, where you'll see a woman posing as a Democrat Party low-information caricature, as she argues that President Obumbler's been "a great leader" who has "raised our society up in every way."

Senator John Walsh (D-Montana) Plagiarized His Army War College Master's Thesis

This is mind-boggling to me --- and interesting too, since the Army War College materials draw overwhelmingly from international security studies in political science, my specialty field.

At the New York Times, "Senator’s Thesis Turns Out to Be Remix of Others’ Works, Uncited Senator: John Walsh Confronts Questions of Plagiarism":

WASHINGTON — Democrats were thrilled when John Walsh of Montana was appointed to the United States Senate in February. A decorated veteran of the Iraq war and former adjutant general of his state’s National Guard, Mr. Walsh offered the Democratic Party something it frequently lacks: a seasoned military man.

On the campaign trail this year, Mr. Walsh, 53, has made his military service a main selling point. Still wearing his hair close-cropped, he notes he was targeted for killing by Iraqi militants and says his time in uniform informs his views on a range of issues.

But one of the highest-profile credentials of Mr. Walsh’s 33-year military career appears to have been improperly attained. An examination of the final paper required for Mr. Walsh’s master’s degree from the United States Army War College indicates the senator appropriated at least a quarter of his thesis on American Middle East policy from other authors’ works, with no attribution.

Keep reading.

And the Times has some nifty graphics of the plagiarized thesis, "How Senator John Walsh Plagiarized a Final Paper" (via Memeorandum).

Pallywood Video: Anti-Israel Groups Allege Wounded 'Palestinian' Civilian Killed by Israeli Sniper

This is "Pallywood" propaganda, but big media outlets are running with it anyway, at London's Daily Mail, for example, with the disclaimer that the clip has not been independently verified, "The moment 'unarmed civilian was shot dead by an Israeli sniper' as he desperately searched for his family: Palestinians release shocking video."

And Telegraph UK, has an interview with Mohammed Abedullah of the International Solidarity Movement, who alleges that an Israeli sniper killed the wounded "Palestinian." Watch, "Activists release video purporting to show Palestinian shot by Israeli sniper."

Here's the report from the ISM, "War crime: video shows sniper killing of wounded Gaza civilian."



Robert Mackey, at the New York Times, also spins the "Israeli sniper" narrative, uncritically reporting the claims of virulent anti-Israel leftist Joe Catron:

CAMERA calls out the media bias and anti-Israel propaganda, "Robert Mackey's 'Open Source' Journalism Anything But."

Mackey has seen a full 15-minute clip of the incident but has refused to release the video to CAMERA for independent verification, so there's that.

More, "Did Newsweek Promote Fake Atrocity Video? Will ISM Produce Video for Inspection?"

And the video is debunked here, "A FAKE ATROCITY VIDEO FROM GAZA."

Yep, a total fake.

Ukraine Accuses Russia for Downing Two Su-25 Fighter Jets Over Dmytrivka

At the New York Times, "2 Ukrainian Fighter Jets Shot Down as Fighting Intensifies."

And at the Los Angeles Times, "Ukraine believes missiles from Russia downed 2 military jets":

Ukrainian officials said Wednesday that two military jets have been shot down in the eastern part of the country, and the missiles that downed them may have been launched from Russia.

There was no immediate response from Russian officials. Russia's state-run Itar-Tass news agency reported that the planes were shot down by a Ukrainian separatist militia.

The pilots of the Su-25 fighter aircraft ejected from the planes, the Ukrainian government said, but their whereabouts are unknown. The incidents occurred near the Russian border, in a part of Ukraine where the government is waging a battle against pro-Russia separatists.

However, at an afternoon security briefing, a Ukrainian defense spokesman said the military believes that the missiles that brought down the planes came not from separatists in Ukraine but from the Russian side of the border.

"They were downed not by terrorists," said Andriy Lysenko, spokesman for the National Security and Defense Council, using the government's term for the separatists. "‎According to our preliminary information it was done from across the border."

VIDEO 'Palestinian Solidarity' Protesters Attack Jews and Israel Supporters in Calgary

Here's a segment with Ezra Levant, at Sun News, "'Palestinian Solidarity' Protesters Attack Israel Supporters in Calgary."

Scroll forward to 2:45 minutes at the clip, where leftists snatch an Israel flag from a guy, Jeff Willerton, just standing there watching, and he's then pushed to the ground and beaten as he tries to get his flag back.

And then go to about 7:00 minutes at the video. The pro-Palestinian protesters cross the street to track down pro-Israel Jews, and viciously attack them.

And, wouldn't you know it? There were no police on hand in Calgary.

Sounds familiar.

Believe me, last Saturday it took a lot of self-restraint not to fight back against the ANSWER communists, who were assaulting me, but I knew that not only would I be ransacked, stomped on, and beaten by the racist dregs, but that they'd make propaganda videos attempting to show that I was a "provocateur" who instigated the violence.

Well, listen to Levant's commentary at the end of the clip: "If there's no cops there, these protesters will do whatever the hell they want. To hell with Canadian law. Or customs. Or norms. To hell with the rule of law, with democracy, to the peaceful resolution of our political differences. Left to their own devices, they like to beat Jews. And any Christians 'foolish' enough to support them, like Willerton [the guy with the Israel flag]."

VIDEO: Jews Flee France Amid Worst Anti-Semitic Violence Since the Holocaust

Recall my blog post from June, citing the New York Times, "Number of French Jews Emigrating to Israel Rises."

Now, according to the Huffington Post, the number of Jews making aliyah to Israel has skyrocketed, "France's Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Paris Shops, Attack Synagogue":

More than a thousand Jews have made aliyah (the term used when Jews immigrate to Israel) in the past 10 days, according to the Israeli government.

"I came because of anti-Semitism,” said teary-eyed Veronique Rivka Buzaglo, one of 430 immigrants who arrived from France the day before. "You see it in the eyes of people.

I see it in everything," she told HuffPost. Buzaglo says nothing would have stopped her from becoming an Israeli citizen this week - not even the rocket sirens frequently blaring in the south of the country, where she plans to live.

Be sure to click through for the photos. It's like Kristallnacht.
