SrWoodchuck Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Fox News Issues Rare Criticism of Netanyahu Over Congress Speech http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/190424#.VMb8_IfINxr "Shē"pard Smith & Chris Wallace shocked! Fox News on Friday aired a rare criticism of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, over his decision to accept an invitation from House speaker John Boehner to address Congress. Fox News hosts Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith criticized the move, saying it would cause backlash in Israel and damage the relationship between the United States and Israel. “I happened to be the White House on Wednesday when Boehner announced he invited and Netanyahu accepted this, and a top White House official was flabbergasted. Said, ‘We got no advance warning. We found out about it,’ them in the White House, ‘when Boehner announced it to the press,’” Wallace said. “To make you get a sense of really how, forgive me, wicked this whole thing is: Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Israeli Ambassador to the United States for two hours on Tuesday, and Ron Dermer, the ambassador, according to the State Department, never mentioned the fact that Netanyahu was in negotiations, and finally agreed, to come to Washington, not to see the president but to go to Capitol Hill, speak to a joint session of Congress and criticize the president’s policies,” he continued. “I have to say, I’m shocked,” Wallace added. Smith then agreed with Wallace and said, “It seems like [Netanyahu's government thinks] we don’t pay attention and that we’re just a bunch of complete morons, the United States citizens, as if we wouldn’t pick up on what’s happening here.” The two also quoted former U.S. ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk, who said "Netanyahu is using the Republican Congress for a photo-op for his election campaign and the Republicans are using Bibi for their campaign against Obama..." "Unfortunately, the U.S. relationship will take the hit. It would be far wiser for us to stay out of their politics and for them to stay out of ours," added Indyk, with whom Wallace said he agreed "100 percent." ********************************************************************************** Really makes me smile. Congress has a pen & phones! Maybe some huevos? We'll see. In the mean time......it's Chicago Rules Payback: Baracky Boy sends 5 of his top election dwarves to Israel....to try & defeat Bibi in his election.... OBAMA CAMPAIGN TEAM ARRIVES IN ISRAEL TO DEFEAT NETANYAHU IN MARCH ELECTIONS http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/01/26/obama-campaign-team-arrives-in-israel-to-defeat-netanyahu-in-march-elections/ Just days after the Obama White House accused House Speaker John Boehner of “breaking protocol” by inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, a team of up to five Obama campaign operatives has reportedly arrived in Israel to lead a campaign to defeat the Israeli Prime Minister in upcoming national elections scheduled for March 17. The anti-Netanyahu, left wing Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports a group called “One Voice,” reportedly funded by American donors, is paying for the Obama campaign team. That group is reportedly being lead by Obama’s 2012 field director Jeremy Bird. As Jerusalem Post columnist and putative Knesset candidate Caroline Glick reported on her Facebook page, “Obama won’t meet Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington when he addresses the Joint Houses of Congress in March because of Netanyahu’s visit’s proximity to the Israeli elections. And Obama, of course believes in protocol and propriety which is why he won’t get involved.” And yet, Glick adds, “He’s just sending his 2012 field campaign manager to Israel to run a campaign to defeat Netanyahu.” *********************************************************************************** BTW: Posted here before, but timely: Barack Hussein Obama, not feeling well and concerned about his mortality, goes to consult a Psychic about the date of his death. Closing her eyes and silently reaching into the realm of the future she finds the answer: “You will die on a Jewish holiday.” “Which one?” Obama asks nervously. “It doesn’t matter,” replied the psychic, “whenever you die, it’ll be a Jewish holiday.” Via iOTWReports & Breitbart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Auschwitz Victor, Fr. Maximilian Kolbe http://weaselzippers.us/212304-auschwitz-victor-fr-maximilian-kolbe/#more-212304 On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the commemoration of the 70 anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, I wanted to bring you the story of Fr. Maximilian Kolbe. Fr. Kolbe was born in 1894, in what today is Poland, of an ethnic German father and a Polish mother. Kolbe described an apparition of the Virgin Mary that he had as a child of nine, an apparition which strongly influenced him all of his life: That night I asked the Mother of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both. He became a Franciscan priest, and achieved two doctorates, one in philosophy and one in theology. He had a brilliant mind, was interested in astrophysics and even designing the concept of an spacecraft that looked like an airplane, long before the Space shuttle. He founded an order inspired by Mary and spreading the word through media. At one point he had over 700 Franciscan friars at his monastery working to put out a newspaper, a magazine and a radio program. He also went to Nagasaki and started a monastery there, built on the backside of the mountain away from the city, contrary to Shinto tradition. When asked about why he did that, he said, essentially, “what I have done, I have done”. The monastery continued and was one of the few structures to survive the bomb drop in 1945 because it was built on the backside of the mountain. In 1936, Fr. Kolbe returned from Asia to Poland and the ever encroaching threat from the Nazis. When the Nazis invaded, one of the first groups they targeted were the intelligentsia who might spread dissent. Fr. Kolbe was right up there on the list. He was arrested but let go initially. He refused the protection of declaring himself an ethnic German which he could have because of his father. Instead he said, “I am Polish”. Upon his release he continued work at his monastery, where he continued to speak out strongly against them through his media, and where he and other monks provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland, including 1,000–2,000 Jews whom he hid from Nazi persecution in their friary in Niepokalanów. In 1941, the Nazis came for him again, arresting him again, and this time, taking him to Auschwitz. As a Catholic priest, Fr. Kolbe was often beaten more, as they attempted to break him and humiliate him. A guard who saw his Franciscan habit and his rosary asked, “Do you believe in Christ?” Father Kolbe answered, “Yes, I do.” The guard struck him in the face and asked again. Father Kolbe kept giving the same answer, and the guard kept beating him until he could no longer stand. While at Auschwitz, Fr. Kolbe would frequently comfort other prisoners, often giving them his own meager food rations. More than that, he encouraged them to keep their humanity, to pray and to love despite the horror around them. One day, a prisoner escaped from the cell block in which Fr Kolbe was living. It was the custom at the camp that if anyone escaped, ten more men from the block would be executed in that prisoner’s place. The deputy camp commander assembled the camp and the names of ten men were called out, including Franciszek Gajowniczek, who cried out, “My wife! My children!”. Upon hearing that, Fr. Kolbe stepped forward toward the the commandant, SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Fritzsch, and asked to take Franciszek’s place. “I am a Catholic Priest”, he said. “I am old. He is young, he has a wife and children. I would like to take his place.” The other prisoners held their collective breath, certain the commandant would take both of them. But after a moment, he said, “Done!” Fr. Kolbe and the other nine men were led away to a starvation bunker. While in the bunker, Fr. Kolbe prayed and gave counsel to the other prisoners. He was the last prisoner alive when after a couple of weeks, the guards came to administer a lethal injection to him. He had helped and prayed with the others as each died before him. On August 14, 1941, Fr. Kolbe was martyred. Via WeaselZippers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Breakout – Newt Interviews Brad Soden, Inventor of the Tankchair In this episode of the Breakout with Newt Gingrich podcast, Newt interviews the inventor of the Tankchair, Brad Soden. Brad personifies a “pioneer of the future,” with an invention that has already improved the lives of veterans and others, including Brad’s wife, who was the first recipient of a Tankchair. The Tankchair is exactly what it sounds like: a modified wheelchair that uses a continuous track instead of traditional wheels, allowing its user to move at greater speeds over uneven terrain. Brad is also helping a number of veterans who have been injured overseas by building and customizing Tankchairs that allow them to maintain an active and independent lifestyle alongside their families without having to worry about the restrictions of a conventional wheelchair.

Cyber_Liberty Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 @SrWoodchuck, Detroit (and other urban wastelands) is the result of the poverty of the soul as much, if not more, than the poverty of the wallet. @Valin, I think there is a charity that supplies those to wounded vets. The chairs are not cheap, I think between $10K and $15K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Watch Obama Refer to Himself 118 Times in Three Minutes PJ MediaDr. Charles Krauthammer truly nailed it declaring "Obama is clearly a narcissist." President Obama, speaking to an audience of mostly young people celebrating India’s Republic Day in New Delhi on Tuesday, told the crowd, “I realise that the sight of an American president as your chief guest on Republic Day would have once seemed unimaginable. But my visit reflects the possibilities of a new moment.” He pointed out that he was the first American president to participate in the country’s Republic Day and boasted, “And I’m the first American president to come to your country twice!” The president went on to refer to himself an astonishing 118 times in the short 33-minute speech, touching on injustices in the United States and in his own personal life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible about the Taj Mahal.....since it was the the tomb of the 3rd wife of the Muslim, "Shah Jahan, emperor during the Mughal empire's period of greatest prosperity" Per Wiki: The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
