BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

by Patricia Garrison The opinions expressed herein are those of the author, and not necessarily those of The New Agenda . How many times must females be killed because they are female, before we start decrying these horrific acts for what they are: hate crimes? Although gender is included as a category in the federal hate crimes bill signed into law last year, the recognition that women and girls are targeted and murdered solely because of their sex has yet to infiltrate our cultural framework or spark any sense of collective outrage. The media have yet to cover these crimes as acts of growing anti-women violence. Given the pervasive sexism in news and entertainment, that should come as no surprise. To be sure, our vulnerability as females is nothing new. At all ages, females are 90% more likely to be the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment and rape. While not all crimes targeting women can be classified as hate crimes, what does appear to be a serious a...

When I believe they're right - I am happy to give these opinions more bandwith on my blog: TERROR IN TEXAS The nation today ponders the irony of the slaughter of US soldiers, not on a battlefield in some dusty and distant land -- but on an Army base deep in the heart of Texas. But there is no irony. In the terrorists' war on America, every square inch of the nation is a potential battlefield, including Ft. Hood, Texas. The point of terrorism is to terrorize. It matters not at all whether the victims are soldiers on a military base, or office workers in downtown Manhattan, as long as the results are so shockingly bloody that they sap the will of Americans to stand up for their way of life. But is the alleged gunman -- Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan -- really a terrorist? Well, with no warning and less provocation, Hasan on Thursday suddenly shouted "Allahu Akbar!" (Allah is great!) and opened fire on soldiers and civilians at a Ft. Hood deployment center. Thi...

From the always great DEADENDERS This mother is none to happy with the Obama administration. ( If you are on an aggregator - click here to see the above video. ) I can’t blame her. The senior military judge overseeing terror trials at Guantanamo Bay has dropped charges against a suspect in the 2000 USS Cole bombing. The legal move by the Hon. Susan J. Crawford upholds President Obama’s Guantanamo order to halt court proceedings at the Navy detention center in Cuba. The military charges against suspected Al Qaeda bomber Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri marked the last active war crimes case at Guantanamo Bay. Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Crawford dismissed the charges against al-Nashiri without prejudice. You commit a crime you should do the time. You kill our service men and women go to hell.

OFFICE STRESS IS KILLING, LITERALLY Work really can kill you, according to a study on Wednesday providing the strongest evidence yet of how on-the-job stress raises the risk of heart disease by disrupting the body’s internal systems. The findings from a long-running study involving more than 10,000 British civil servants also suggest stress-induced biological changes may play a more direct role than previously thought, said Tarani Chandola, an epidemiologist at University College London. “This is the first large-scale population study looking at the effects of stress measured from everyday working life on heart disease,” said Chandola, who led the study. “One of the problems is people have been skeptical whether work stress really affects a person biologically.” Heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death. It is caused by fatty deposits that harden and block arteries, high blood pressure which damages blood vessels, and other factors. The researchers measured stress among the c...

SMELLS LIKE "OSLO SPIRIT" Now the U.S. gave a recommendation to Israel that's just a rehash of Oslo - asking them to play nice with their Religion of Pieces neighbors and take down their silly fence and give the terrorists back their guns. Did I read that right? What part of it didn't work the first time doesn't compute here? And what part of the article below isn't penetrating here? This is beyond active denial - we are into bang your head against the nearest brick wall-dom here. WHEN SOMEONE FINALLY SHOWS YOU WHO THEY ARE? BELIEVE THEM! Again, Nancy Pelosi's email is: AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov Hit SEND at will. Hamas: “The extermination of the Jews is good for the inhabitants of the worlds.” by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook The extermination of Jews is Allah’s will and is for the benefit of all humanity, according to an article in the Hamas paper, Al-Risalah. The author of the article, Kan'an Ubayd, explains that the suicide operations c...

THE PA IS NEVER READY TO MAKE NICE How many times in just the last couple weeks has the clue phone rung and our leaders are deaf to it? I am fairly liberal but when the evidence is right in my face - the hard cold evidence - how ignorant can someone be? How can Israel continue to be smeared when the evidence of the need for them to defend themselves and for the U.S. to get behind their efforts 110% is right there out of the PA's own mouth? Here it is again - the PA calling not only for the destruction of all Jews... but AMERICANS too. How many times are we going to "talk" to people who have us in their crosshairs? They aren't walking the walk. So Condi, Nancy and all my other lefty friends - this is one place we can't be a bleeding heart. Its one thing to have compassion and understanding but when concrete evidence that someone's trying to kill us is right there, how can you be so blind? Would you put your child in front of a rabid, aggressive dog? W...

THINKING OF ISRAEL "We can forgive you for killing our sons. But we will never forgive you for making us kill yours" - Golda Meir (to Anwar Saddat just before peace talks) The neighborhood bully just lives to survive, He's criticized and condemned for being alive. He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin, He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in. He's the neighborhood bully. -- Neighborhood Bully, song about Israel's struggle written by friend of Israel and Jew : Bob Dylan CLICK HERE TO JBLOG ME
