Sunday, and again time for my weekly rant....This is "Victoria Day" weekend here in Jewish occupied and controlled Canada. This is an annual holiday to celebrate the reign of that ugly Jewess that sat on the British throne for about 70 years until the turn of the 20th century. To me, it is ridiculous that Canada still has a national holiday dedicated to a long dead Queen of a foreign nation. I honestly cannot figure out in this modern age WHY this nation, Canada, still has the fraud sitting on the British throne as our "head of state"....

US Secretary of State John Kerry seems to be on a personal mission to draw the US into an invasion of Syria. At the least, he remains determined to continue backing the rebellion against the Syrian government until the country is completely destroyed.
Opposition is bipartisan… but not from Lindsey GrahamAlthough the Beltway pundits of conventional wisdom-- like the brain scientists at Cook-- rate Lindsey Graham as "safe," I wouldn't want to be forced to put any money on that. Nate Silver claims Lindsey has a 97% chance of being reelected, just 1% less than Tim Scott and 7% better than Al Franken's reelection odds.

HEBRON – Israeli settlers set fire to a private Palestinian field in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood in the southern West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday night as part of a celebration for the Jewish holiday of Lag BaOmer.
Settlers circled around the field and watched as the fire burned olive trees, in a field that locals said belongs to the Iqneibi family.
On a personal level, Putin faces a hard choice. Russian nationalists will not forgive him if he surrenders Ukraine without a fight. The US and EU threaten the very life of the Russian president, as their sanctions are hurting Putin’s close associates, encouraging them to get rid or even assassinate the President and improve their relations with the mighty West.
I was so happy to see that Paul Song had been elected to a non-profit board I serve on. Friday was our annual meeting and I got to meet him in person. He's done an incredible job as Executive Chairman of another organization, Courage Campaign. He started running Courage when Rick Jacobs, the founder, became Deputy Mayor of Los Angeles.
At least 76 people were killed, mostly militants, and 37 were wounded in today's violence.

The West’s failure in Syria is not an isolated event. Under the scrutiny of an increasingly aware global audience, what the West has attempted in Iraq, Libya, and now Syria, will cost it immensely when next it tries to subvert the political order of a foreign nation. In Ukraine now, this is demonstrated very clearly.

“Whether NATO is in fact attempting to intentionally create threats to Ukraine’s nuclear power plants as a pretext to intervene more directly in Ukraine or not is irrelevant. It is directly supporting the regime in Kiev that had organized and continues to perpetuate Right Sector who is currently creating such threats. However, with NATO being behind the chemical attack in Damascus, Syria in August of 2013 – the idea of NATO fabricating a similar pretext in Ukraine is not beyond the realm of possibilities…”

I follow some conservatives on twitter, mostly to keep track of what kind of sedition they're up to. But I follow David Frum-- Bush's "axis of evil" speech-writer-- for another reason: he actually writes about interesting ideas. The other day he was tweeting away about how an average of one head of state per year was assassinated between 1894 and 1914.
