Islamists who pose a threat
'have no place in France'

France's Socialist government vowed Thursday to do more to integrate the country's Muslims but warned that it would not tolerate the country becoming a hotbed of Islamic radicalism. In a speech marking the inauguration of the Strasbourg Grand Mosque, the biggest Islamic place of worship ever built on French soil, Interior Minister Manuel Valls pledged to come down hard on extremists, warning that foreign activists trying to stir up trouble would be immediately deported. But he also held out an olive branch to the country's four million Muslims by promising state help for the construction of more

The French government urged ArcelorMittal on Thursday to restart idled blast furnaces at a plant in northeastern France or put them up for sale, declaring itself in a “tug-of-war” with the steel giant over their fate. President François Hollande held talks with ArcelorMittal’s chief executive after a media report that the firm will shut the furnaces at a plant which became symbolic of France’s industrial decline. Speaking to angry workers at the plant in the town of Florange, Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg said Hollande had called on Lakshmi Mittal to invest 150 million euros in the site or sell the

Pres. Obama commended a student who put off having his broken wrist set for two days in a speech at Ohio's Bowling Green University yesterday. After being introduced, Obama asked the audience to applaud the student who broke his wrist playing Ultimate Frisbee the day before, but didn’t go to the doctor to have the broken bone set because he didn’t want to miss Obama’s speech: “Hello, Falcons! Thank you so much. Thank you. Now, let me begin by asking everybody to give Seth a big round of applause for that great introduction. I was backstage and I had trouble

DNA Traces in Mom’s Brain

Giving a whole new meaning to “pregnancy brain,” a new study shows that male DNA — likely left over from pregnancy with a male fetus — can persist in a woman’s brain throughout her life. Although the biological impact of this foreign DNA is unclear, the study also found that women with more male DNA in their brains were less likely to have suffered from Alzheimer’s disease — hinting that the male DNA could help protect the mothers from the disease, the researchers say. During mammalian pregnancy, the mother and fetus exchange DNA and cells. Previous work has shown that

Four in ten six-year-olds failed a back-to-basics reading test after struggling with words such as ‘farm’, ‘goat’ and ‘shine’. Pupils were tested for the first time this summer on how well they use the traditional phonics method of reading, where children learn the letter sounds of English and how to blend them. Forty per cent – nearly 237,000 children – were below the pass mark. They were unable to read 32 words correctly out of 40. While nine per cent scored full marks, 21 per cent failed to scrape half marks, according to results released yesterday

'Slander' and free speech

Who said the following: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." Iran's Ahmadinejad? Egypt's Morsi? Some little-known, fatwa-flinging cleric increasing the bounty on Salman Rushdie's head? None of the above. The words are President Obama's, and he spoke them this week to the U.N. General Assembly. No Big Media outlet reported this stunning pronouncement. It's as if Ronald Reagan addressed the National Association of Evangelicals in 1983 and the media failed to report that he used the phrase "evil empire."

FBI Counter-terrorism lexicon

Could federal law enforcement's own training protocol on what they have been defining as "terrorism" be delaying the investigation of what happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11th? As I pointed out in a previous post, the FBI training manual after a 2011 purge, does not even include the terms "al Qaeda", "Muslim Brotherhood", or "jihad." PJ Media's Patrick Poole wrote about the FBI's denial of the agency's own departmental counter-terrorism analytical lexicon. However, the agency went silent when Poole posted the official 14 page unclassified booklet. The Obama administration's

Lead bullets under fire

Should President Obama win in November, it’s a certainty he’ll try once again to ban lead ammunition. Just two months after he moved into the White House, the National Park Service suddenly announced it was banning lead bullets from its parks. The blowback from sportsmen was intense, so the agency backed down. Mr. Obama surely will exert “more flexibility” in a second term to accomplish this backdoor assault on the Second Amendment. Sen. Jon Tester, Montana Republican, introduced a bill to make sure that can’t happen. Just before the Senate adjourned Saturday to go campaigning,

An American compound in Libya is invaded by al Qaeda terrorists and an American ambassador is purportedly tortured before being killed. Muslim mobs attack American embassies in 27 countries chanting,”Death to America.” The White House response? A statement blaming the outrages on a filmmaker in the United States, along with apologies to the Muslim world. The American economy languishes with millions unemployed in the worst times since the Great Depression. Yet the president spends his first years in the White House focusing on a plan to create a trillion-dollar socialized health care system opposed by a majority

The North Carolina Republican Party sent an anniversary card to Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue on Thursday, sarcastically expressing disappointment that her call to suspend congressional elections so President Obama could fix the economy didn’t happen. “I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover,” Perdue said at an event in Cary, N.C., exactly one year ago. “I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.”

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., sees dark days ahead for our country if Mitt Romney is elected to the Oval Office. As part of its "Mitt Gets Worse" campaign, American Bridge and the Courage Campaign interviewed Frank about what they dubbed Romney's "anti-LGBT agenda." And of course the conversation turned to the Supreme Court. If Romney is elected "he would certainly appoint justices of the Scalia sort," according to Frank who calls Scalia "just homophobic."

New York - The unemployment rate has been falling lately in Los Angeles County, but not for the right reasons. Last month, the jobless rate for the county fell to 11%, down from 12.4% a year earlier. (Snip) Wrong. In Los Angeles, the falling unemployment rate is slightly misleading, just as it has been for the country overall. When surveyed by the government, fewer L.A. residents say they're unemployed compared to a year ago. But it's not because they're finding jobs. It's because they're dropping out of the labor force altogether. Just over 100,000 of workers have left the Los

Country kingpin George Strait is riding off into the sunset, at least as far as major touring is concerned. The lanky Texan who’s been cranking out hits since the early '80s announced this week that his 2013-14 tour would be his last, although he was quick to note that he’d probably do individual concerts from time to time and that he would continue recording. His final circuit on the road, which he’s dubbed the Cowboy Rides Away Tour, begins Jan. 18 in Lubbock, Texas. At a Nashville news conference last week, Strait unveiled only the first 21 dates

WASHINGTON -- President Obama has been forced to cancel several debate practice sessions with Senator John F. Kerry, whom he tapped to play stand-in for Republican challenger Mitt Romney, leaving little time for them to spar ahead of next week’s first presidential debate. The Massachusetts senator has held at least one mock debate with Obama to help him prepare for the first matchup against the former Massachusetts governor to be held Oct. 3 in Denver, but several others were cancelled due to the the president’s busy schedule, said deputy Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter.

Ms. Duckworth is also tied at the hip with the Muslim advocacy group CAIR. CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood group. They were named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation’s history. And notably, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have severed all ties with CAIR because of their radical ties to terrorism and Hamas. In August, Mr. Walsh had warned of a radical strain of Islam in the USA, including the Chicago suburbs. Ms. Duckworth claimed such talk was inflammatory rhetoric, propagating fear, hate, and isolating Muslims. Yet, on Sept 14, a

Even before Defense Secretary Leon Panetta contradicted the initial story about the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, today, Obama administration officials told ABC News they were concerned after the White House began pushing the line that the attack was spontaneous and not the work of terrorists. Events were too uncertain, and suspicions had been aroused, officials said. (Snip) White House officials acknowledge that assessments have changed over time as intelligence has been confirmed, but they insist that no information was given in bad faith and there was no attempt to downplay the attack.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) was circulating a letter Senate aides said would be signed by members of both parties asking for more information and another briefing on Libya — a development Republicans described as a significant shift from what had been a partisan fight. “It's my understanding today that all members of the Foreign Relations Committee — both Democrats and Republicans — are asking the administration for

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- Years before F-22 pilots began getting dizzy in the cockpit, before one struggled to breathe as he tried to pull out of a fatal crash, before two more went on television to say the plane was so unsafe they refused to fly it, a small circle of U.S. Air Force experts knew something was wrong with the prized stealth fighter jet. Coughing among pilots and fears that contaminants were leaking into their breathing apparatus led the experts to suspect flaws in the oxygen-supply system

The presidential race is tightening in the key swing state of Virginia, with President Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney by only two points, according to a new poll released Thursday evening by Suffolk University and Richmond's NBC12. The poll found Obama leading Romney 46 percent to 44 percent, results that are within the survey's statistical margin of error. Significantly, seven percent of Virginia voters said they were undecided, indicating that the race to win the Old Dominion is still wide open for either candidate.

Soros also gave another $500,000 to two congressional super PACs. Soros' contribution to the super PAC Priorities USA Action comes as the group raised a record $10 million last month. It has launched television ads highly critical of Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Priorities USA Action confirmed the amount of the donation on Thursday. Soros gave $1 million earlier this year to the pro-Democratic super PAC American Bridge 21st Century. He's contributed millions of dollars during previous presidential elections.
