The United Nations' Year-End Message to Israel

By Joseph Klein

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon devoted part of his year-end press conference on December 19th to bashing Israel for its announcement of plans to build new housing in and around Jerusalem. He claimed that the Israeli announcement was a "near fatal blow to a very fragile Middle East peace process."

"I am deeply concerned by heightened settlement activity in the West Bank, in particular around Jerusalem," the Secretary General complained. "This gravely threatens efforts to establish a viable Palestinian state." [more...]

Assad: 'If I Go, None of Syria Remains'

By Ryan Mauro

Syrian dictator Bashar Assad has privately pledged to "fight to his last bullet" in his ancestral hometown of Qardaha, vowing, "If I go, none of Syria remains." The daily pools of blood spilled by his madmen cause hearts to be warmed by signs of Assad's impending fall, but one Syrian Christian opposition activist is loudly warning that light is not waiting at the end of the tunnel. Islamist hordes are. [more...]

R.I. District Gives Teachers Annual 11.2% Raise, with No Demand for Improved Performance

By Kyle Olson

It pays to work for the government. Just ask the teachers in the Westerly, Rhode Island school district. The school committee just agreed to a new union collective bargaining agreement that doubles teachers’ pay in nine years. Perhaps all the news we’ve been hearing about public schools lacking funds has been exaggerated. The pay raises will come through adjustments to the annual teacher “step salary” schedule. There will now be nine steps up the salary ladder instead of 11, and each step will pay teachers more money than in the past... a lot more, in fact. [more...]

Professor Blames Mass Shootings on ‘White Male Privilege’

By Kyle Olson

Some opinions only get attention because they come from people with advanced degrees who make their living on the taxpayer dime. That’s certainly the case for Hugo Schwyzer, a history and gender studies professor at Pasadena City College. He has a history of blaming white men for most of the mass killings that take place in the United States. Friday’s tragic shootings in Newtown, Connecticut gave him a great opportunity to spout his nonsense once again. Less than 40 minutes after the events - while (woefully inaccurate) news was still breaking - he tweeted, “MEN committing acts of Mass Violence is an epidemic that the U.S. needs to immediately address.” [more...]

Steve Gill Show Surpasses Goals for Christmas Fundraising

Tennessee-based, nationally syndicated talk radio show host Steve Gill and his listeners set out to raise $5,000 for Helping Hands Ministry (www.helpinghandsministrytn.org) and another $15,000 for the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Home (www.tbch4kids.org) during the holiday season. Helping Hands Ministry feeds the hungry in Warren and DeKalb Counties in Tennessee and TBCH is home to approximately 150 orphan and foster children across Tennessee. Thanks to the generosity of listeners and the Gill Show team over $36,000 was raised over the last month for the two charities - with 100% of the money raised going directly for Christmas gifts and meals for those benefitting from the organizations.

The Left’s Renewed Assault on the NRA

By Joseph Klein

While much of the country mourns the horrific death of the 26 children and adults murdered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut at the hands of an alleged mentally unstable individual who also killed his mother, the Left lost no time in shamelessly exploiting the tragedy. In fact, Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler (NY) used the word “exploit” in urging President Obama to take advantage of the Newtown massacre to prod Congress into passing stronger gun control legislation.

Big Labor Bosses Demonstrate Why RTW is Necessary

By Dave Bego

Shame on Big Labor Bosses! For years they have used the tactic of “shame” in an effort to pressure, bully and demonize employers who might stand against their efforts. They have used “shame” in their efforts to misinform the public - to create a misperception that their target is guilty of an unconscionable act and should bear the scarlet letter of these acts. These attacks have been not just against the targeted employer, but against anyone who might oppose them, including the employer’s customers and advertisers, non-union employees, even their own membership if it suits their purposes. Recently, Big Labor has taken the weapon of “shame” to the political arena, both in Wisconsin, Indiana and now in Michigan. [more...]

Uncle Sam is Ordering Americans to Submit to Islam

By Diana West

The Wall Street Journal reports this week about a new draft handbook for U.S. troops in Afghanistan designed to prevent their Afghan "partners" from murdering them. The problem, according to the Army, is "ignorance of, or lack of empathy for Muslim and/or Afghan cultural norms" on the part of U.S. troops. The solution, according to the Army, is for troops to accept these same Muslim and/or Afghan norms - or else be killed. In effect, then, Uncle Sam is ordering Americans to submit to Islam or die - exactly the choice offered to infidels vanquished by jihad. As far I can tell, the main difference is Uncle Sam will require them to salute while submitting. [more...]

Syrian Jihadists Get Obama’s Blessing

By Joseph Klein

President Obama chose an exclusive interview with ABC News’s Barbara Walters to announce his decision that the United States now formally recognizes the recently formed umbrella coalition of Syrian rebels who are fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad. The coalition is known formally as the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. In yet another example of leading from behind, Obama’s decision follows recognition of the rebel coalition by France, Britain, Turkey, the European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council. [more...]

New Signs Assad Preparing to Use Chemical Weapons

By Ryan Mauro

The Syrian regime’s insertion of sarin gas into aerial bombs prompted the U.S. to warn Bashar Assad of “consequences” if he uses his huge chemical weapons arsenal. Now, Assad is setting the stage to blame any attack on the rebels, reportedly even printing pamphlets accusing “terrorists” of using the weapons. And he doesn’t have much time: A senior U.S. official says the weaponized sarin gas expires in 60 days. The countdown has begun. [more...]

Palm Beach County Schools Spent Millions on Travel, Pizza, Cell Phones, Water Parks...

By Kyle Olson

A lot of well-meaning people from the education world have been running around the nation in recent years, telling everyone that public schools need a lot more money. They should be forced to read a list of expenditures from the Palm Beach County school district and then explain again how schools need more operating revenue. We think they might be a bit tongue-tied. EAGnews recently completed an inspection of credit card statements and the check register for the Palm Beach County school district in fiscal year 2010-11. The exercise uncovered enough questionable spending to make an average millionaire blush. [more...]

Syrian Rebels: We Are All Jabhat Al Nusra (Al Qaeda)

By Diana West

You can almost hear the Obama administration call out, as one voice, "Aha! We'll designate the Syrian al Qaeda affiliate Jabhat al Nusra a terrorist organization, thus barring the group from receiving Western money and arms, and be done with it!" And so they did. But they weren't. This is no "complication." It simplifies everything. Islam - jihad - is the tie that binds and not even a designation in the U.S. Federal Register is going to change that. So the U.S. on the jihad again, maybe this time with a little with more fanfare from the jihadists, once again backing forces that spread Islamic law - backing forces that actually killed and maimed Americans in Iraq, too, as in the case of Libya. Did it all start in the Balkans when Uncle Sucker empowered Muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo over Christians in Serbia? What about when we put in place sharia-supreme constitutions in Iraq and Afghanistan? And how about the endless match of jihad chess in Israel as the U.S. increasingly supports both sides, which is to say the jihad against Israel? [more...]

Romney and GOP Steamrolled by Big Labor Corporate Campaign

By Dave Bego

The Romney camp was steamrolled by Big Labor's Election Intimidation Factor, namely, a Corporate Campaign! The bottom line is that big labor and its far left activist buddies utilized the persuasion of power to manipulate the electorate with its ground game and foot soldiers in order to provide Obama the slim margin needed to be re-elected. The Obama campaign and big labor utilized the same "death by a thousand cuts" tactics against Romney and the GOP that big labor utilizes against business to force through recognition agreements, and is attempting to use to put Card Check into place, as chronicled in The Devil at Our Doorstep.

Is Hillary a Shoe-in for 2016?

Can Speaker Boehner and President Obama actually cut a Fiscal Cliff deal that can pass the GOP House? Are there some who actually want the U.S. to go over the cliff and thus crush the GOP? As for 2016, Hillary Clinton looks unstoppable. And even Michelle Obama wins a hypothetical 2016 Senate race in Illinois. Is the job of First Lady the new political stepping stone? And why did Senator Jim Demint resign this week?

Survey: 70 Percent of Egyptian Voters Favor Draft Sharia Constitution

By Diana West

70 percent of Egyptians favor the new sharia draft constitution - true or false? Only the ballot box knows for sure. So why are Egypt's "liberals" and "secularists" rioting to prevent a national referendum? From the Vancouver Sun: Egypt's vice-president Mahmoud Mekki floated the possibility late Friday that the Islamist government might postpone a referendum on a hugely controversial draft constitution that critics have condemned because they believe it gives some powers to unelected Islamic scholars and ignores the rights of women and the country's Coptic Christian minority. Tens of thousands of protesters continued to mass in the dark outside the presidential palace early Saturday. At one point some of them broke through a hastily erected outer concrete barrier and clambered on tanks.  [more...]

Barbarians Versus Barbarians in Syria

By Joseph Klein

At least forty thousand people have lost their lives to date during the 21-month war in Syria. The war has turned into a life-and-death struggle between the barbarian Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and its barbarian Islamist adversaries. Every day brings fresh evidence of atrocities committed by both sides. Innocent civilians living within Syria and the surrounding region are caught in the middle. [more...]

Vince Vaughn Teams Up with Glenn Beck to Produce New Reality TV Show

A new production duo is gearing up to make its Internet television entrance, and the pair involved may end up surprising even the most imaginative industry insiders out there. “Wedding Crashers” star Vince Vaughn has partnered up with radio talk show personality and former Fox News host Glenn Beck to produce a new reality show called “Pursuit of Truth.” The contest-type show is scheduled to be aired on Beck’s TheBlaze TV in the spring of 2013. The “Pursuit of Truth” will feature 20 competing participants, all of whom will be documentary filmmakers. Reality show contestants will vie for the grand prize of a budding movie producer’s dreams, a financing and distribution package for a documentary film. [more...]

Michelle Malkin Credits EAG for Breaking Union Propaganda Video Story

By Kyle Olson

Malkin writes: "Message for wealth-bashing millionaire actor Ed Asner: Man up and take responsibility for lying to America’s schoolchildren. Confronted by a producer for Fox News Channel’s 'Hannity,' the left-wing celebrity claimed he couldn’t remember 'a thing (he) said' on a vile propaganda video produced and published by the California Federation of Teachers. Asner narrated the unforgettable eight-minute anti-capitalist screed geared toward children. Think Occupy Wall Street meets Sesame Street. 'Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don’t want to pay taxes anymore,' Asner warbles in a folksy grandpa voice. After education reform journalist Kyle Olson of EAGNews.org blew the whistle on the film’s vulgar cartoon depiction of a 'rich' man urinating on the 'poor,' the teachers union whitewashed the animated images from the video."

It's Time for the GOP to Sacrifice the Billionaires

By Wayne Allyn Root

I’m a small businessman who believes we are all over-taxed. I would not raise anyone’s taxes. But since Obama’s pet billionaires like Warren Buffett are so quick to sell out the upper middle class... two can play at that game! Obama has the GOP Congress between a rock and a hard place. Here's a compromise that turns the tables on Obama.

I say it’s time to sacrifice the billionaires to save small business... and the GOP. [more...]

American Sheep Back at the Feeding Trough

By Dave Bego

In 1993 America was in the midst of a recession brought on by a progressive entitlement mentality, which was preceded by unprecedented growth of the U.S. economy during the Reagan years. While not a common term in the early '90s, but openly used today, the term "social justice" has proved to be nothing more than another code for the entitlement mentality... We now have a President who is more radical than Clinton and wouldn’t have a clue how to manage a lemonade stand, much less the United States of America. He is a “social justice” apostle. With support from his “big labor” buddies and other far left radicals, such as George Soros, the President continues to push forward his endeavor to destroy the free market system and replace it with socialism.

Forget the 'Fiscal Cliff'... Obama's Bigger Goal is Far Worse

By Doug Johnson

Everybody’s worried about the fiscal cliff, but no one is paying attention to much bigger problems. Sure, the fiscal cliff may bear some importance, especially if the Republicans handled it right. But it really is a phony problem that was made up by politicians to spread fear and allow them to intimidate the American people so they can be manipulated into supporting things that will do more damage to the economy and America’s future. Yet with all that, Obama’s bigger goal is far worse for America’s future. The fiscal cliff is not about doing what’s best for America; it’s about power and control. But on a much bigger scale, Obama’s only economic goal is to destroy the American economic system so he can replace it with something far worse. [more...]

Netanyahu Standing Firm

By Joseph Klein

On the day after the United Nations General Assembly passed the resolution recognizing Palestine as an observer state, including East Jerusalem and borders based on the pre-1967 lines, Israel announced plans to build additional housing in and around Jerusalem and in the West Bank. The Obama administration responded quickly with a series of condemnations. Several European countries, including France, Britain, Spain, Sweden and Denmark, summoned the Israeli ambassadors to their countries to protest Israel’s decisions. Blind to the implications of the General Assembly’s full-throated endorsement of the Palestinian Authority’s maximalist position on all major issues that were supposed to be negotiated bilaterally under the terms of the Oslo Accords, the international community rose up in anger against Israel for supposedly jeopardizing the prospects of a negotiated two-state solution.

The "Duranty" Times Strikes Again or How NYT Readers Retain That Rosy Glow

By Diana West

Walter Duranty was an evil, venal fabulist who won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Soviet Russia - only he "forgot" to cover the 1932-1933 Terror Famine in the Ukraine, where Stalin purposefully starved some five or six million people to death. Attempts to dislodge this besmirched award from the Times' grasp in the name of human decency have proved fruitless. Moving right along to yesterday's Times, we have yet another entry in the Times storied annals of reader-deception, this one from Benghazi by reporter Kareem Fahim (with contributions from Osama al-Fitory and Suliman Ali Zway).

By Joseph Klein

Thousands of miles from Gaza and Ramallah, Abbas was enjoying his own version of a Turtle Bay “New York State of Mind.” [more...]

The New Democracy in Egypt: Minority Rule

By Al Fadi

Almost twenty months ago, the world celebrated with the Egyptian people the removal of a longtime dictator: Mubarak, as a victory for the new Arab Spring democracy. Almost a year later, things turned sour and the new hope for democracy turned into despair as a result of the apparent control of the Muslim Brotherhoods and Salafis on the direction of the election to choose the new president. By June of this year, it was very clear that the Muslim Brotherhoods are in control of power as the newly elected president of Egypt, Muhammad Morsi, emerged from the ranks of this Islamic group known for its hardliner religious approach, affinity for sharia law, and support for terrorism.

Putting a Bug in Their Ear

By Steve Gill

Have you ever heard a song on the radio, or maybe just playing overhead in a retail store, that sticks in your head and repeats over and over and over and over again? It is a phenomenon called “earworms”...and it is not really anything new. Researchers say that most of the songs that stick have an upbeat melody, we have heard them to the point of familiarity, and there is a surprise in them - maybe an extra beat or something else that is just slightly “off.” And in most cases they are songs we may actually like... or at least not hate. As we market products and ourselves in an increasingly "noisy" marketplace we want our message to stick, too. Taking some lessons from “earworms” here are a few ideas... [more...]

Hollywood Stays in Campaign Mode

By James Hirsen

Samuel Goldwyn had the following famed advice for filmmakers: “Pictures are for entertainment. Messages should be delivered by Western Union.” Today’s Hollywood is apparently choosing to ignore the renowned studio mogul’s words and are instead opting to keep the election campaign going, just as the celebrity-in-chief continues to do.

The truth is that for decades, liberals in Hollywood have been shoehorning distinctively radical messaging into various forms of entertainment product. Left-wing messages were embedded in a blacklist subplot of the movie “The Way We Were” (1973), which featured Barbra Streisand as the local communist.

Streisand, who has now been paired with actor Seth Rogen in the upcoming comedy “The Guilt Trip,” recently opined in an Internet column that Sen. John McCain was “fueling the flames of a supposed cover-up by the White House, Secretary of State and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice.” Streisand stated that “there is no evidence to support that a cover-up occurred” and further suggested that “all Senator McCain wants to talk about is Benghazi and he is relentless in his questioning of ‘what the President knew and when did he know it.’” [more...]
