Star Commentator Is Out
as Christian College President
After Scandal

New York Times, by Ariel Kamner

Original Article

Posted By:pineledger, 10/19/2012 5:21:36 AM

While attending a conference last month, the president of the King’s College was spotted in the company of a woman other than his wife. At a typical institution of higher learning, a sighting like that might not have turned into a major controversy. (Snip)But his recent foray into film has been his most visible undertaking yet. The film, an attack on President Obama, accuses him of imperiling the country by channeling the anti-colonialist beliefs of his father.

Comments:
This was a gotcha, on the part of two former Kings College employees fired by D'Souza.

Most coverage Dinesh has ever had in the NYT?

Separated from his wife for two years and in the process of a divorce, D'Souza had the temerity to become engaged to another woman.

Persons he had offended in his past have used this to go after him. Or allowed themselves to be used by the Obama campaign machine to go after him?

The anatomy of a hatchet job:

Not everyone at the school had been pleased with Mr. D’Souza’s appointment. Marvin Olasky, the school’s provost, left. “It will come as no surprise to you that Dinesh D’Souza and I have different ideas about some things,” he was quoted as saying in Christianity Today.

Another figure whose affiliation with the school came to an end was Warren Cole Smith, a consultant whose contract Mr. D’Souza chose not to renew.

Both men played a role in Mr. D’Souza’s departure: Mr. Olasky is the editor in chief of World Magazine, the publication that broke the news of Mr. D’Souza’s marital circumstances. Mr. Smith reported and wrote the article.



They saw him at a conference with a woman he introduced as his fiancee. D'Souza has said that although they travelled together to the conference, they had separate rooms.

Yesterday on a thread about this I was dismayed to see some LDotters decide that he was having some sort of illicit affair without even having read the article that contained exculpatory information. Presumed guilty.

Of course this is headline news for NYT.
Just like it was for John Edwards--a presidential candidate!--when he was having an affair and a love child.
Just like it was with Jessie Jackson and his long-time mistress.

NYT is just plain scum

"Christian" schools and churches are no less left wing than the rest of the establishment. Too bad D'Souza didn't learn the lesson of Gingrich and remain above reproach even in his personal life.

Isn't it strange that the left who have always held that peoples private lives are no one elses business are so quick to jump on the private life of Mr D'Souza? Never mind that the activity was legal and as far as anyone knows moral, the attempt to besmirch D'Sousa and incidentally his film 2016 is typical of the left.

When you have the temerity to tell the truth about the Left, be prepared to be followed and attacked. You must be above reproach. Consider the reactions to Bob Packwood's flirtations vs. Barney Frank's lover running a gay whorehouse out of Frank's apartment.

The Obama campaign is flummoxed that their opponent is a millionaire who has been honest in his business affairs and who has been faithful to his wife. They think Romney's odd because he still adores Ann.

Why Is White House Stonewalling On Benghazi?
Investor´s Business Daily, by Rep. Dana Rohrbacher    Original Article
Posted By: pineledger- 4/9/2013 6:41:48 AM     Post Reply
More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? (Snip) The identities of those Americans who were there, including those who were wounded, has been kept from congressional investigators who have a constitutional responsibility to oversee U.S. foreign policy

Last month, the Supreme Court decided to allow the importation and resale of foreign editions of American works, which are often cheaper than domestic editions. Until now, courts have forbidden such activity as a violation of copyright. Not only does this ruling open the gates to a surge in cheap imports, but since they will be sold in a secondary market, authors won’t get royalties. (Snip)But it is the latest example of how the global electronic marketplace is rapidly depleting authors’ income streams.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

   

 

  


 
U.S. Adds Only 88,000 Jobs;
Jobless Rate Falls to 7.6%
New York Times, by Catherine Rampell    Original Article
Posted By: pineledger- 4/5/2013 9:23:27 AM     Post Reply
For the 30th straight month, the United States economy added jobs in March, albeit still at a pace too sluggish to put a big dent in the backlog of 11.7 million idle workers. The nation’s employers increased their payrolls by 88,000 last month, compared with 268,000 in February, according to a Labor Department report released Friday. The unemployment rate, which comes from a different survey, ticked down to 7.6 percent from 7.7 percent. The slight decrease in the unemployment rate occurred not because more unemployed people got jobs,

Bank of Japan launches

Tokyo—The Bank of Japan [8301.JA +4.83%] is pulling out all the stops to get the economy out of deflation, its new governor said, after the central bank rolled out aggressive easing measures that surprised markets, pushing bond yields to an all-time low and boosting share prices. At his inaugural policy board meeting Thursday, Haruhiko Kuroda convinced the nine-member panel to agree to a major expansion of government bond purchases, including buying longer-term debt, which is designed to drive down longer-term rates. The BOJ also broke free from some self-imposed limits that the previous leadership under Masaaki Shirakawa adhered to.

The present darling of the right wing, Dr. Benjamin Carson, is a distinguished neurosurgeon who went from the depths of Detroit poverty to the heights of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. But his current status among conservatives isn’t so much rooted in Carson’s redemptive rise from rags to respectability, as it is in the belief that he is, in the long winter of Obama, the one they’ve been waiting for. (Snip)He then cast himself as a victim of political correctness, besieged by white liberals — “the most racist people there are”

Boston--Lost in the debate between Anne-Marie Slaughter’s chronicle of the obstacles confronting career-oriented mothers and Sheryl Sandberg’s call to “lean in” is a crucial reality: taxes. Women — no less than other humans, it turns out — can be rational economic actors. The tax code starts with a bias in favor of couples in which one partner works and one stays home.

Did Putin Sink Cyprus?

Istanbul--The blue-glass skyscrapers of Moscow City — fragments of Russia’s boom-time dream — are visible from the Kremlin walls, within which there was once hope that those towers could supplant the West’s financial centers. When the sun sets behind them, you can see that many of the offices lie empty.In fact, the real hubs for Russian banking are in other countries. Moscow’s billionaires squirrel their fortunes abroad, and many businessmen register their companies as British, Dutch, Swiss or Cypriot — anything but Russian. Whistle-blowers would have us believe that even President Vladimir V. Putin stashes his money offshore.

Nicosia, Cyprus—-Lines formed outside banks in Cyprus´s capital early Thursday, but there was little sign of panic as the island´s lenders reopened after a two-week hiatus. Small groups of depositors—mainly numbering a few dozen, mostly pensioners—pressed to enter the banks as they formally reopened at noon (1000 GMT) local time. Police officers and security guards at Bank of Cyprus in Nicosia´s old town allowed eight depositors in at one time. (Snip)Some Cypriots said they would wait until the weekend to go to the bank, fearing that a rush might topple the very banks

Nicosia, Cyprus--When European finance chiefs explained their harsh terms for rescuing Cyprus this week, many blamed the tiny Mediterranean nation’s wayward banking practices for bringing ruin on itself. But the path that led to Cyprus’s current crisis — big banks bereft of money, a government in disarray and citizens filled with angry despair — leads back, at least in part, to a fateful decision made 17 months ago by the same guardians of financial discipline that now demand that Cyprus shape up.

Whatever the final outcome in the Cyprus crisis — we know it’s going to be ugly; we just don’t know exactly what form the ugliness will take — one thing seems certain: for the time being, and probably for years to come, the island nation will have to maintain fairly draconian controls on the movement of capital in and out of the country. In fact, controls may well be in place by the time you read this. And that’s not all: Depending on exactly how this plays out, Cypriot capital controls may well have the blessing

Cyprus postponed for yet another day an emergency parliamentary session to discuss a bailout plan that will see the country´s bank depositors share part of the burden, the house speaker said Monday. The Cypriot parliament is now scheduled to meet Tuesday at 1600 GMT, house speaker Yannakis Omirou told reporters. The parliament had been due to meet Monday at 1400 GMT as the government sought to push the levy through parliament before banks reopened Tuesday after a three-day bank holiday. The vote delay means that the bank holiday will likely be extended for at least another day.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
