When Jimmy Kimmel Attacks, Well, At Least His Production Crew

Jimmy Kimmel’s Production Crew Turned High Intensity Spotlights Onto A Young Teenager Peacefully Practicing His First Amendment Rights

If you are Jimmy Kimmel, this can’t be the publicity you want. I would sue over the attack on the teenagers. Or, you could look at it like this: Attention was drawn, lit up brightly, to your cause, thus, glorifying God (if He were to be glorified by this?).

Mosab Hassan Yousef – Hamas Founder’s Christian Son Granted Asylum in U.S.

This story is good news and comes via Religion News Blog

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (BosNewsLife) — The son of a founder of the Palestinian Islamic group Hamas, who became a Christian and spied for Israel, will be granted political asylum in the United States as the Department of Homeland Security dropped its objections, BosNewsLife learned late Wednesday, June 30.

Judge Rico Bartolemei ruled that Masab Hassan Yousef, 32, will be granted political asylum August 26 after he is fingerprinted and passes a routine background check. His attorney, Steven Seick welcomed the decision.

“For 10 years, he fought terrorism in secret, hiding what he was doing and who he was. He deserves a safe place away from violence and fear,” he said. There was no immediate reaction from Israel.

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the eldest son of Hamas founder Hassan Yousef, was recruited by Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, in 1997. Israeli agents have been quoted as saying that his information prevented multiple terrorist attacks.

Gonen ben Itzhak, Yousef’s former Shin Bet handler, confirmed his identity last week in a bid to bring attention to Yousef’s plight. He travelled to the hearing from Israel, however no witnesses were called to testify because the U.S. government dropped its opposition.

“NO TERRORIST”

“Basically, I wanted to say that Mosab was not a terrorist,” he told reporters after Wednesday’s proceedings. “He was not affiliated with Hamas. He’s a great guy and he should get asylum.”

Former CIA Director James Woolsey wrote in a letter released by Yousef’s attorney that Yousef is, “a remarkable young man” who should be commended for his “extraordinary heroism and courage.” Woolsey added that “It is not an exaggeration to say that such an action would set us back years in the war on terrorism,” and that it would be “such an inhumane act” if he were not granted asylum that “it would constitute a blight on American history.”

Yousef has been living in California since 2007.

If Yousef, had not been granted asylum he would likely have been killed if he was deported back to Palestinian territories, his supporters said, because he prevented terror atacks and abandoned Islam while working with Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency.

MSNBC Guest Doesn’t Know Why We Went to Afghanistan – Need I Say More?

Published by Papa Giorgio

NewsBusters points out how deep non-knowledge of some of the guests at MSNBC can run:

How clueless can a guy who lives in Manhattan possibly be?

Discussing the Afghanistan war on Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch claimed “people weren’t clear why we were there in the first place.”

Uh, Donny . . .

Fortunately, the ever-affable Willie Geist was there to diplomatically offer Deutsch a brief history lesson.

WILLIE GEIST: Well, it was clear in the first months after 9-11.

Remember, Donny? That little piece of the Manhattan skyline puzzle that’s missing? The Taliban regime in Afghanistan that harbored al Qaeda members who plotted it? Hello?

Here is the video:

From NewsBusters:

Chris Matthews famously felt a thrill going up his leg listening to an Obama speech. Now, MSNBC anchor Alex Witt has been similarly moved by Obamian oratory, declaring this morning “I got a few chills” listening to PBO’s “very powerful” speech on immigration.

Some old videos confirming why the left would get a “chill” up their leg:

Jerry Kane’s Son (Joseph Kane) Opens Fire On and Kills Police Officer With An AK

Published by Papa Giorgio

I wrote on this earlier,”More To The Memphis Shooting Than Meets the Eye… Father/Son Team Die.” I was assailed by a few nutters and even had my video pulled from my YouTube account, but, there are gazillions of the copies of that first video all over the place now. (God I love freedom of speech and the internet!) So during some of my conversations, it was said that no way could these “upstanding citizens” of these United States have started shooting first. I said it was them who opened fire first. As usual in these debates with whack jobs, I am exonerated. Here is one discussion I had via my YouTube:

…his wife [Jerry Kane’s wife] watched a rifle being pulled from the van, while the cops used no gloves. usually if they use no gloves it is because there is no crime scene or it was planted to show video footage there was a gun….

Conspiracy after conspiracy. This non-linear thinking is killing our generation and Western culture which thrives on logic. At any rate, here is the recently released video:

Virginia (Ginni) Thomas Says Obama Leading Country Away From Core Principles

Published by Papa Giorgio

World Net Daily has a good article/interview with Justice Thomas’s wife, “Ginni” Thomas. She talks about the Tea Party and other important aspects of conservatism. Saying,

“The Sept. 12 march on Washington – when I saw all of those real, ordinary Americans march on Washington and come at their own expense – people who were there said it changed their lives,” she told WND…. [the] 52… blond with a vibrant smile and ebullient personality, said she “felt called to the front lines for our nation as President Obama was moving the country so far away from the founding principles.”….

She founded a site called Liberty Central, which is a good place to check in with once-and-a-while. Below is a video I pulled from their YouTube account:

Christopher Hitchens, Cancer

(Old post linked to pic [June 09, 2007]…. just click)

HOTAIR’S Allahpundit (an atheist) shows his respect:

…His prognosis, not in only terms of survival but in carrying on with speech and debate, is unknown thus far. But here’s a passage from the Merck handbook linked above:

Because esophageal cancer usually is not diagnosed until the disease has spread, the death rate is high. Fewer than 5% of people survive more than 5 years. Many die within a year of noticing the first symptoms. Because nearly all cases of esophageal cancer are fatal, the doctor’s main objective is to control symptoms, especially pain and the inability to swallow, which can be very frightening to the person and loved ones (see Death and Dying: Difficulty Swallowing)….

His debates on religion were not that impressive, outside of rhetoric and polemics. His stance against Muslim terrorism around the world is phenomenal. But I ask this question, will he remain an ATHEIST to death. Many in his place have, but typically die through disease inflicted through too many partners, or drug overdoses. Sartre and Flew are examples of others who have changed their minds, even if at a late hour. I will be praying for Hitchen’s, that he escape the worst sickness of all… his rebellion against his Creator.
