Hello, everybody!

Not back on a full-time basis, but I can’t stay away from blogging political stuff forever. I’ll do this a few times a week.

So... I couldn't help it, and had to write about Israel here too.

So... I couldn't help it, and had to write about Israel here too.:

Honestly, the reaction that I’ve received from libertarians has been exactly what I was anticipating: “OMG YOU SUPPORT FOREIGN AID.” It’s as if they’re illiterate.

IRS head Steve Miller: targeting wasn't politically motivated, it was just "horrible customer service"

Fri, 17 May 2013 13:19:24 -0400

poorrichardsnews:

Outgoing IRS Chief Steve Miller’s testimony on Capitol Hill isn’t going very well today. Not only is he about as believable as Jay Carney, he’s also saying some things that are just plain stupid.

He claimed during questioning that the IRS targeting wasn’t politically motivated, it was just “horrible, horrible customer service.”

here’s the video:

I can’t speak to individual cases. I can say generally, we provided horrible customer service here. I will admit that. We did. Horrible customer service. Whether it was politically motivated or not is a very different matter…

I’m sorry Mr. Miller, but nobody’s buying your bull feathers. United Airlines provides horrible customer service. What you guys did, however, was criminal.

pragmaticconservatism:

Well of course everyone here has heard the news by now that former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has passed on after suffering a stroke. It is a sad day as the last of the triumvirate that defeated the USSR (Thatcher, Reagan, John Paul II) has passed on. Thatcher…

I really do love the fact that even some hardcore liberals agree with me regarding $15/hr for fast food is just freaking INSANE.

That would be a super fast way to destroy the fast food industry. And small business. No small business or fast food place would ever hire again if they had to pay wages they couldn’t possibly pay.

Wiping Israel off the Cyber-Earth

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:54:10 -0400

eretzyisrael:

Groups of world wide hackers have announced that, in honor of Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day this Sunday (April 7), they will be performing a world wide coordinated hacker attack against Israel – to wipe Israel off the face of cyber-earth.

Much of Israeli cyber and Internet infrastructure has excellent cyber-security. Just as Israel has been under constant physical attack, since the advent of the Internet, Israel has been under constant cyber-attack. For example, the government agency that manages .gov.il web sites has a continuous attack (and attack source) monitor showing anywhere from 150 to 800 continuous attacks on an average day. (From such diverse places as China, Arab countries, UK, Germany, even the US.)

The hackers have published a list of 1,600 Israeli target sites. These include government sites and agencies, social service and religious sites, and businesses. Examples include breslev.co.il (religious site), alitalia.co.il (Italian airline site in Hebrew), alljobs.co.il (online job listings in Israel), and beitar-jerusalem.org.il (soccer team).

Undoubtedly some sites will be impacted, some will be hacked, and some will become unavailable due to being flooded by the attacks. But the serious sites have serious security and are not unfamiliar with being attacked and have some of the strongest security infrastructures available in place.

The big question is – the U.S. government has stated that a major cyber attack will be considered the same as a major physical military attack, and is cause for military response. Will Israel take a similar position and unleash the Mossad in response?

Anonymous has played with the big boys in the cyber world, but are they prepared for a State actor with responses of rendition or termination?

Planned Parenthood Supports Abortion Even After Birth

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:57:22 -0400

Planned Parenthood Supports Abortion Even After Birth:

studentsforlife:

“In 2008, I went undercover at a federally funded Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Freehold, N.J., posing as a pregnant woman seeking information on getting an abortion at 22 weeks.

“The Planned Parenthood nurse explained to me that the only abortion procedure they do after 22 weeks involves inducing delivery. When I asked what happens if the baby is born alive, I was stunned when she replied simply, ‘It does happen, where it’s still alive…but it wouldn’t be able to survive on its own, so eventually the baby does die.’”

"Hacktivists" Threaten to "Erase" Israel From the Innernut

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:35:49 -0400

girlactionfigure:

One wonders what is wrong with these sick puppies, that they would be motivated to “erase” the Jewish people, even if only from the internet. They must not be well acquainted with our history.

Any Jew alive on the face of this planet today is a walking miracle. Our mere existence today is wondrous, plucked from the fire at the last moment again and again, with no natural explanation that will suffice.

-from the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

Times of Israel:

…. The effort, known as “OpIsrael,” which is being organized by hacktivist group Anonymous, aims to target the 100 largest websites in the country, especially those of banks, credit card companies, and communications firms.

The attack is scheduled to take place Sunday, April 7. That evening, Israel will begin to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day.

A hacker going by the name of “Mauritania Attacker,” who claims to lead a group of hackers called AnonGhost, said “the hacking teams have decided to unite against Israel as one entity, and Israel should be getting prepared to be ‘erased’ from the Internet.”

“Its gonna be the biggest ever operation launched against any country, Its gonna be Huge [sic]!” the activist told The Hackers Post.

Read it all because there are indications that Israelis have already been affected … on facebook.

i understand the meaning and the good intentions behind wearing a certain color for breast cancer research or suicide awareness or gay rights, but at the end of the day and in every way it’s a color. it’s a show of sympathy but nothing practical, nothing done.
