The lawsuit is available here, and also embedded at...

Ambassador Yehuda Avner wrote a wonderful recollection of the original Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) (formatting provided by Elder of Ziyon)

“Wait!” shouted a hassid whom everybody knew as Nussen der hazzan – a cantor by calling, and a most diligent volunteer digger from the ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim Jerusalem quarter. “It’s Shabbos....

The banality of the defense of the #Gosnell news blackout

The Gosnell trial is about the killing of infants born alive and a mother undergoing an abortion.

The reaction, however, is not just to the killing of an infant born alive after an abortion, it is to the dismemberment, decapitation, and other gruesome means of killing the unwanted child.

The exposure has abortion advocates...

    Will the media compare Obama’s speeches against the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act to the Gettysburg Address, as it did for Obama’s Newtown speech?

    I think not. Certainly not after Kermit Gosnell.

    They were not Gettysburg Addresses.

    The ground in which the dead were buried was not hallowed.

    The dead were not honored.

    A California state senator has cooked-up a bill that combines:

    1. New York City’s nanny-state “Big Gulp” bans.
    2.  Small businesses fees to pay for excessive compliance requirements.
    3. Distribution of power to unelected bureaucrats to enforce the vaguely worded legislation.

    Talk about recipe for failure!
