UPDATE: Well, that didn't last long. Earlier this morning before I posted this item the OIC press release noted that U.S. Consul General in Jeddah Anne Casper would be attending the OIC’s meeting:

Early this month, the sheriff of Palm Beach County, Fla., announced a new, Orwellian “violence prevention” program designed to pit neighbors against each other by having people anonymously call the cops on anyone who doesn’t like the government or...
Duane Phinney's insight:
But folks in Palm Beach eager to turn on their fellow man may have to go back to calling 911 or the police dispatch line, thanks to Republican Governor Rick Scott’s recent veto of the $1 million in State money originally earmarked to subsidize the $3.2 million tattling scheme. Delete the scoop?

Refusing to hear the very words of the Koran-quoting butcher himself.
It began on Tuesday in Woolwich, London, when two young men in a car deliberately ran over an off-duty British soldier who was walking to a nearby military installation, then “hacked and chopped” at his body and attempted to decapitate him as they shouted “Allah akbar!” They forced witnesses to film the scene, saying: “We swear by Almightly Allah we will never stop fighting you.
Duane Phinney's insight:
The London horror is emblematic of the Boston horror and every single jihad waged in the name of Allah! And there is no doubt that Islam and its inextricable link to blood is linking/tying all the worldwide swathe of jihad. And it is patent nonsense that anger against soldiers in Muslim lands has anything to do with head chopping. Head chopping, and every manner of waging war against infiidels, is a MAJOR component of the Koran and is underpinned by the highest authorities in Sharia Law. And it is this piece which westerns turn deaf, dumb and blind to. Delete the scoop?

With Memorial Day approaching Americans should be preparing to honor our veterans and military heroes currently fighting for us as well as remembering those we have lost. This honor should be especially due from our own government that has sent these brave men and women off to war. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. It is clear that the Federal government has declared war on our veterans and is intent on denying them the very Constitutional rights they fought to protect.
Duane Phinney's insight:
I am outraged by these actions of our government that dishonor our veterans and the debt we owe to them. This is developing into an additional scandal for the Obama administration yet many people are unaware that this is even happening. Please help me spread the word. Delete the scoop?

Remember the claim that “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan” under ObamaCare? That was never actually true, as many who had low-cost catastrophic coverage married with HSAs will have to abandon them for more-costly comprehensive plans under the ACA’s coverage mandates. In California, it’s even less true as three insurers with millions of subscribers opt out of the state-run

Undermining respect for the rule of law.
In the debate over illegal immigration, one word causes consternation: amnesty. One side is adamant that its proposals don’t amount to amnesty, the other insists that they do. But both sides are missing the point. The real question is not whether that word “amnesty” overstates the defects of the bill, but how very much it understates them.

This is the mobile version of James Taranto's column.
Democracy is in peril: That is an emerging theme of the liberal left's response to the Obama scandals. The argument misses the point, no doubt deliberately. What we are witnessing now is not a crisis of democracy but a crisis of authority. The administrative state, in thrall to a decadent cultural elite, has lost the consent of the governed.
Duane Phinney's insight:
If ordinary politics are a battle between good and evil, then winning becomes an overriding moral imperative. The end justifies the means: Journalists shade or conceal the truth in the service of a "larger truth." Government restricts political speech in the name of promoting democracy. Administrative agencies perpetrate injustice in the name of "social justice." That's how IRS agents could think it was their patriotic duty to help fix an election for the party in power.

A great American leader shines disturbing light on Obama's failures to defend America.
Editor’s note: Below is the video and transcript of Senator Ted Cruz’s speech at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Texas Weekend. The inaugural event took place May 3rd-5th at the Las Colinas Resort in Dallas, Texas.
Duane Phinney's insight:
There are a handful in Congress who understand the Islamic darkness within the deepest recesses of US power politics (and beyond), and they stand head and shoulders above the rest. They include Cruz, Bachmann. Gohmert & a few others. And in no small measure they may end up rooting out the Muslim Brotherhood Mafia, but also Obama Inc's part in placing them deep within the bowels of Washington's power centers. Delete the scoop?

Why it's no accident that soft despotism emerged on the Left's watch.
The three scandals dominating the news this week all reveal the moral and intellectual corruption at the heart of progressive ideology. Whether are not these revelations gain enough traction to halt the country’s downward spiral is the more important question.
Duane Phinney's insight:
The Left worships power. They are addicted to power, and we all know that addiction is a progressive disease. It should come as no surprise that these things are happening. The more power the Lwft gets, the more they want, and the more they want to use that power to do what they always do with power: destroy anyone who opposes them. Delete the scoop?

While many conservative voters obsess over the unholy trinity of elected big liberalism -- Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid -- but the real threat to our liberties and way of life is unelected 'big bureaucracy.' Unelected bureaucrats are who have persecuted Tea Parties, conservative donors, adoptive parents, True the Vote, Boeing's non-union plant, the Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, select GM dealerships, and God knows who else over the past few years. And this week, we've met the three stooges of the big bureau; Steven Miller, Loris Lerner, and Sarah Hall Ingram. Collectively, they paint an accurate picture of what we face.
Duane Phinney's insight:
Like Lerner and Miller, Hall Ingram is a prototypical part of the machine. The machine is big government and its wheels churn deep inside big bureaucracy. Down there, those wheels grind down peoples hopes and dreams as they confiscate and regulate bank accounts, retirement funds, existing companies, and hopeful startup enterprises. This control is what drives bureaucracies by definition. More government necessarily equals less liberty. Delete the scoop?

Daniel Greenfield, Andy McCarthy and Robert Spencer shed disturbing light on Jihad in America -- and our culture's willful blindness.
Editor’s note: Below is the video and transcript of the panel “The Battle Within” with moderator Jeffrey Wienir and panelists Daniel Greenfield, Andy McCarthy and Robert Spencer.

The enemy within actually reared its head back in 1990 but no one was paying attention. And even after others attempted to alert them, right after the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, they still played deaf, dumb and blind.
