I think you folks here at Rantburg will really appreciate the fairly new website http://www.preoccupiedterritory.com/. The motto of the website is "They only understand farce".
Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal said Republicans in Congress should follow through on their campaign promise to repeal and replace Obamacare and not become cheaper Democrats.' Become?
He also called on Muslim leaders to condemn radical Islamic terrorism.
...Jindal also said leaders of the Western world have a responsibility to insist on assimilation and integration for those who want to live in America.
âItâs somehow racist to tell people if you want to come to America, we insist that you come to be Americans â and to me, itâs nonsensical that we allow people to come into our society and use the freedoms we give everybody to undermine those very freedoms,' he said.
...Jindal called Common Core a violation of the 10th Amendment since it allows the federal government to make curriculum decisions. He criticized the No Child Left Behind Act, labeling the law a mistake. If he not just talks the talk, I'm in love.
[Ynet] While Assad and Iran-backed Hezbollah forces are indeed advancing towards the Israeli-Syrian border, their inability to defeat the rebels is preventing them from reaching their next goal ‐ opening a front against Israel from Syria.
The onslaught being led by Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... together with Hezbollah and Iranian forces south of Damascus, in the direction of Israel's border, is intended to relieve some of the rebel pressure on his embattled capital city. For years, Assad has tried to uproot rebel strongholds and prevent the different Islamist rebel factions from uniting, especially the Nusra Front, which has planted itself firmly in the city of Daraa near the border between Jordan and the Syrian Golan Heights.

.....[Assad's] next goal – opening a front against Israel from Syria.
Not sure I'm prepared to make that assessment just yet.
[Jpost] US President Barack Obama is mainstreaming anti-Semitism in America.
This week, apropos of seemingly nothing, in an interview with Mathew Yglesias from the Vox.com website, Obama was asked about terrorism. In his answer the president said the terrorism threat is overrated. And that was far from the most disturbing statement he made.
Moving from the general to the specific, Obama referred to the jihadists who committed last monthâs massacres in Paris as âa bunch of violent vicious zealots,â who ârandomly shot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.â
In other words, Ahmedy Coulibaly, the terrorist at Hyper Cacher, the kosher supermarket he targeted, was just some zealot. The Jews he murdered while they were shopping for Shabbat were just âa bunch of folks in a deli,â presumably shot down while ordering their turkey and cheese sandwiches.
No matter that Coulibaly called a French TV station from the kosher supermarket and said he was an al-Qaida terrorist and that he chose the kosher supermarket because he wanted to kill Jews.
...As subsequent statements from administration spokespeople made clear, Obamaâs statement was not a gaffe.
...Today, the most outstanding example of Obamaâs exploitation of anti-Semitic tropes to diminish US support for Israel is his campaign to delegitimize Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu ahead of his scheduled speech before the joint houses of Congress on March 3.
...Loopholes in Obamaâs interim nuclear framework deal with Iran from November 2013 have allowed Iran to make significant advances in its nuclear weapons program while still formally abiding by its commitments under the agreement.
...At the same time that Obama is facilitating Iranâs emergence as a nuclear power, he is doing nothing to stop its regional empowerment. Today Iran controls Syria, Iran and Yemen and holds sway over Lebanon and Gaza. It threatens Saudi Arabia, and its Muslim Brotherhood allies threaten Egypt and Jordan.
As for Obamaâs allied campaign against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, the largest beneficiary to date of the US-led campaign has been Iran. Since the US-led campaign began last fall, Iran has achieved all but public US support for its control over the Iraqi military and for the survival of the Assad regime in Syria.
The trajectory of Obamaâs policies is taking the region is obvious. He is clearing the path for a nuclear armed Iran that controls large swathes of the Arab world through its proxies.
It is also clear that Iran intends to use its nuclear arsenal in the same way that Coulibaly used his Kalashnikov â to kill Jews, as many Jews as possible.
Perhaps Obama is acting out of anti-Semitism, perhaps he acts out of sympathy for Islamic fascism.
Whatever the case may be, what is required from Israel, and from Netanyahu, is clear. Speaking to Congress may be a necessary precondition for that action, but it is not the action itself.

Academia has been mainstreaming it for a couple of decades. Not to be confused with socialists who identify themselves as Jewish for simple tribal tagging.

Obama was an African Muslim which is Sunni (his father was a Muslim from Kenya). Why is he doing everything he can to allow a nuclear Iran which is Shiite? Just asking.

John, because Valerie Jarrett is from Iran. And probably a Shiite.

John. French Commies sabotaged French weapons and weapon factories during the Nazi invasion of France and American Commies supported isloationist movements and fomented strikes in factories working for the Mend Lease. That is until June 22, 1941. So Commies helped the Nazis against democracies. Why a Sunnni wouldn't help Chiites aganist democracies?
