Prime Minister Netanyahu's Purpose in Addressing the US Congress on Iran

Over the past several weeks the American and Israeli national presses, as well as the American Jewish press, have debated the wisdom of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to accept House Speaker John Boehner's invitation to address a joint session of Congress concerning the Iranian nuclear program. President Obama indicated quite clearly that he was most displeased by this prospect and applied quite some pressure on Israel in an effort to force PM Netanyahu to cancel the speech--all to no avail. We might want to ask why Obama desired to scuttle such a presentation on the part of the Prime Minister, and what drove Netanyahu to resist all this pressure.

Chicago on the Potomac

Back in the Dream Time, elders were honored because of their accumulated knowledge, if Pops knew a better way to saddle horses that knowledge helped Junior since he saddled horses. Today if Pops knows how to tune-up cars what good is that when cars don't need to be tuned-up anymore? Now the old are relegated to extolling their own relevance while exclaiming, "I've never seen that before." Doddering ancients who use their cell phones merely to talk wonder why their grandchildren never answer their emails as Gen Z tweet each other: "Don't trust anyone over 15."

In one of the most egregious examples of horrendously bad manners and lack of taste, 50 plus Democrat members of Congress, along with President Obama and Vice President Biden of the United States, ignorantly absented themselves from an enlightened and precise dissertation on the proposed nuclear deal between Iran and the United States that if consummated could spell the doom for the young state of Israel and perhaps all of its people in addition to wide spread multi millions more in retaliation.

US Shale Oil Keeps Booming Despite Low Prices - For Now

There’s been plenty of hand-wringing in recent weeks as America’s oil rig count has dropped precipitously in the face of plunging crude prices. This has sparked worries that the shale boom’s best days are behind it.

Obama Amnesty Plan: Legalize Foreigners, "Take Over the Host," Push "Citizens into the Shadows"

It was supposed to be a phone call for Obama administration ears only. But hear it the radio host did, she says. And what she heard should make your blood run cold--and perhaps your rage hot. Obama's amnesty plan is to use illegal aliens as "seedlings," said the federal officials. They will "navigate, not assimilate," as they "take over the host," create a "country within a country" and start "pushing the citizens into the shadows."
