Lament for Britain 1
Into its socialist democracies, slowly dying out of indigenous populations, Europe has admitted hordes of its worst enemy.
None is yet ruled by them – as we think the United States is at present. (Fortunately the United States is much more robust – we dare to say virile – than decadent Europe. Here it is the ruling that is feeble.)
When all of Europe is governed by sharia law (and all European women ambulant black bags), it will be very bad for America.
We sorrow most for Britain which has long been the sanest, the soberest, the most reasonable of nations. Now the blood of native Britons, citizens of London, members of Her Majesty's armed forces, stain its streets from time to time and ever more frequently, shed by the barbarian colonists of Islam. And every time distant Israel wages war on its perpetual barbarian attackers, the colonists of Britain turn out in force in the capital to yell hideous, vicious, racist hatred and calumny, in a quiet avenue lined with dignified embassies.
Douglas Murray, who always displays moral clarity, writes at Gatestone:
The barricades are up again outside the Israeli Embassy in London, as they are across many capitals of Europe. Given that even more rockets than "normal" have been raining down on Israel in recent days, any sane country would need further barricades outside the Israeli embassy in order to contain yet another demonstration of support for Israel. But no, another day in London and another Palestinian-ist and Socialist Worker party protest is going on against the Israeli state.
The protestors are not, of course, demonstrating because they especially care about the lives of the people of Gaza. If they cared about the lives of Palestinians – or the people of the region in general – they would have spent night after night outside the Syrian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Turkish, Egyptian and Saudi Arabian embassies, among others. …
I have watched them a bit in recent days, watched the contorted hatred on their faces as they scream at the embassy and then watched their friendly sociability as the headscarfed women are driven away by their menfolk, often with their children in tow – a family day outing in "diverse" modern London. Behind their smiles and the increasingly competent public relations that the pro-Hamas faction is managing in Britain, it is possible for some people to forget that what brings these people out is one simple thing: a hatred of the Jewish state and a desire to see it annihilated by the terrorists of Hamas or anyone else at hand.
There are those who will say this is not a not-sufficiently-nuanced observation, that the motives of those protesting Israeli action are something other than a great hatred of Jews and the Jewish state. But if this were true, why would their posters say, "Stop the Holocaust in Gaza?" There is no "Holocaust" in Gaza. Anybody can see there is no similarity between the organized and systematic murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis and the precision targeting of some Hamas rocket sites, some of which are deliberately hidden under hospitals, in the Gaza strip. Why do the protestors say "Holocaust" then? They know that this way they will hurt Jews as deeply as possible. By using the term "Holocaust" for this, they will either give the impression that the Holocaust was a small and minimal thing in the history of war – such as the confrontation between Hamas and Israel currently is – or else that the Israelis are, in their view, currently carrying out precisely the same barbarism which made the creation of the state of Israel such an added necessity for Jews in the 1940s, and that by supposedly becoming the Nazis they are meant to abhor, the Jews have forfeited any right to be regarded as part of acceptable humankind.
Either way, these protestors clearly mean to harm, not to help. But their presence – and the growing manner in which they are trying to wake up a far-away country to the actions of Israel, and condemn them as they would condemn Nazism – displays a trend worth dwelling on.
Israel has been through an exchange like this with Gaza every couple of years since Condoleezza Rice had the brilliant idea of pushing for elections in Gaza and allowing Hamas to finish with guns what they had failed to achieve at the ballot box. In the wider world's response – as well as the facts in the ground in Israel – certain trends can now be spotted. One is that, since the 2006 war in Lebanon, protests against Israel in cities such as London have increased in number and vitriol year on year. This is not because the confrontations between Israel and her enemies during this period are getting larger. On the contrary, no exchange since 2006 has been anything in size like the war which had to be engaged in then. Each time, however, despite the actual conflict diminishing, the protests in London and other capitals in Europe have grown.
So how can one account for this? One reason, simply put, is that you cannot have a country in which the Muslim population doubles each decade (as in Britain) and radical Islamist groups teach young Muslims to make the Israel-Palestine issue their prime concern, and expect the result to have no impact.
The young men and women who pack their banners back in the car after a good day's shouting at the Israeli embassy may or may not have British citizenship, yet it is hard to say that they are British in any recognizable sense of the term. If they were, they might think that a simple sense of fair play, among other things, ought to dictate that a country being bombarded with missiles on a daily basis should, every now and then, have the right to respond by hitting the sites from which those missiles are fired as well as at the people who order the launchers to let loose.
Israel, one can probably say with some confidence, can very well look after itself. Like everyone else who has spent time in the country, and admires and even loves it, I worry for it, but I can think of no nation on earth that is better equipped or better motivated to look after itself and its people. So when I see these young protestors in London, protesting against Israel, I do not worry for the country they are shouting against. They cannot touch her. But I worry for my country — Britain.
It is a country that is finding it so difficult to integrate the millions of Muslims who have come here that (in a figure that ought to be better known) there are now at least twice as many young British Muslims who have gone to Syria to fight alongside ISIS and other such groups than there are Muslims fighting for Queen and country here in the British armed forces.
By any standards, this is a symptom of a disastrous immigration and integration problem. The people shouting outside the Israeli embassy – the knackered and foolish old minority of Trots aside – can do Israel no harm. But they can do great harm to the country they are in.
Europe's Israel-haters are no real problem for Israel, but they are the greatest possible problem for Europe.
The need to impeach Obama (but) 8
It is high time to assert the political will to impeach a rogue president.
Failure to do so is tantamount to the existential impeachment of a nation in the court of authentic justice.
So David Solway writes at PJ Media.
We agree with him. But if the House of Representatives were to impeach Barack Obama, the Senate would refuse to do its part and try him. We can only hope that if the Senate falls to the Republicans in November, impeachment and trial will soon follow.
There are grounds aplenty, as David Solway says in his article (worth reading in full).
Here's our choice of highlights from it:
It has been persuasively argued that President Obama is impeachable on many grounds.
Having joked that he could do anything he wants, Obama is guilty of running roughshod over the Constitution, bypassing Congress and governing by executive decree, stuffing his administration with Muslim Brotherhood operatives, making common cause with America's enemies and betraying its allies, promoting the global warming scam at enormous cost to the taxpayer, accepting illicit campaign donations, failing to defend U.S. soil against illegal border crossings (in direct contravention of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution), being in contempt of federal court for his oil-drilling moratorium in the Gulf, allowing the IRS to target conservative nonprofits seeking tax-exempt status, approving via his attorney general Operation Fast and Furious, concocting the Benghazi cover-up, and constantly and illegally rewriting the rules of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, at least 29 times to date. A more comprehensive record of Obama's ethical violations and misdemeanors lists 51 reasons for impeachment, some of which may be comparatively borderline, others flagrant. …
Much has been and continues to be written about what is probably the most mendacious administration in American political history. The fact that so many of Obama's vital records are sealed or problematic should have raised alarm bells and disqualified his candidacy in the years before he assumed office — or at least have alerted a sentient electorate to the ethical and political travesty his presidency would become. …
When one follows the trajectory of Obama's career, one knows that one is dealing with a man who is a liar from the egg, a man for whom suppressing the truth or lying outright is the daily fare of his existence …
The incongruities in his personal narrative are so vast as to provoke the conviction that Obama is little more than an embodied fiction — unless one assumes that a man born four years before his parents presumably met in Selma in 1965 is some sort of miracle worker or godsend. Aside from autobiographical disparities and obscurities, the empirical lies and political abuses continue to pile up. Senator Ted Cruz is in process of issuing a series of reports on the Obama administration's abuses of power, having enumerated 76 instances of such constitutional dereliction at the hands of an imperial presidency …
One notes that there is also an aspect of feckless ineptitude in the man … After the fiasco of Obama's disappearing "red lines" over Iran's development of nuclear weapons and Syria's use of chemical weapons, and his "there will be consequences" for Russia if it entered Ukraine — threats that die on the teleprompter — America's enemies know they are dealing with a buffoon who has, wittingly or unwittingly, become a reliable ally.
This is a president who skips a National Security meeting about the Ukrainian emergency and emails out a smilingly inane selfie marking a White House film festival on the same day that Russian troops push into Crimea.
This is a man who, without consulting Congress, releases five Taliban terrorists with blood on their hands for an American Army deserter. …
Charles Krauthammer finds Obama's foreign policy "puzzling" … "Would Putin have lunged for Ukraine," he asks rhetorically, "if he didn't have such a clueless adversary?" Krauthammer is being overly discreet. Nothing Obama does is puzzling. There may well be an element of Biden-like doltishness in his behavior, but the evidence strongly suggests that he is being politically and ideologically consistent in undermining American power and security on the world stage.
There is no contradiction in a man being both stone stupid and insidiously crafty at the same time, which explains the Ruritanian politics and social japery he has managed to get away with up to now.
And should be stopped from getting away with as soon as his removal from office becomes possible.
But wait … !
What would the nation be left with?
Joe Biden. A plain dolt without the craftiness.
That's why some have said that Obama chose Biden for his Vice President – as insurance against his own impeachment. But we doubt he had such foresight.
And his arrogance would hardly have allowed him to anticipate that pesky Congress would ever have the audacity to impeach him.
Creating the global society 3
The most dangerous war in our history … a war against the existence, the concept of the USA as a nation-state.
That is what Diana West sees happening with the invasion over the southern border of tens of thousands of so-called unaccompanied children (UAC).
She states truly that -
A nation-state doesn't exist unless it controls its borders and protects its citizens. We, the People, do neither.
But the existential danger here comes not from the assault itself. Nightmarishly, it comes from the Obama administration, which, in its greatest betrayal, is leading, or at least supporting, the aliens' charge. …
A normal government – one with the best interests of its own citizens at heart – would have taken immediate steps to 1) halt these border crossings that pose a dire threat to public health and safety, and 2) set in motion the deportation efforts necessary to return these illegal aliens to their home countries.
But the Obama administration is not a normal government. …
Every American should examine the Department of Homeland Security solicitation notice that appeared six months ago at the federal business opportunities site FedBizOpps.gov. The notice seeks "Escort Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children," describing exactly the services now required to process, not deport, this massive influx.
According to this notice posted back on Jan. 29, 2014, DHS was already gearing up to receive "approximately 65,000 UAC in total." …
DHS, the notice states, has "a continuing and mission critical responsibility for accepting custody of unaccompanied alien children from U.S. Border Patrol and other Federal agencies and transporting these juveniles to Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) shelters located throughout the continental United States."
"Resettlement," in other words, means these illegals are staying – at least if the Obama administration has its way. This may fulfill a "mission critical responsibility" for the Central American countries whose nationals, including gangbangers and drug runners, are crashing our border. There is nothing, however, in the American interest about it. Come to think of it, there's nothing in the American interest in the entire refugee resettlement mission – literally. According to the UAC services webpage of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the mission is to assist these minor illegal aliens "in becoming integrated members of our global society".
Not our "American" society. Big difference.
All the difference in the world. The difference between a world of self-governing nation-states and International Communism enforced by World Government.
Is a Global Communist Society really what a majority of US voters want? Probably not.
It's what Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Mao, Pol-Pot and Saul Alinsky wanted and what Barack Obama and his gang want. And it must be what the New York Times, the Washington Post and the addled brains of the other mainstream media want, because they helped Obama and his gang get into power with just such an aim in mind. They helped by concealing the aim from the voters.
They're still at it, while the first steps in the destruction of the USA as a nation-state are being taken – with no effective opposition.
Benghazi matters 0
Bill Whittle of PJ Media cogently makes the case against Obama and Hillary Clinton: guilty of gross dereliction of duty on – and leading up to – 9/11/12, when the attack on the US mission in Benghazi resulted in death and disaster.
It is still questionable whether their inaction was a result of the undoubtably bad characters of Obama and Hillary Clinton, and their equally undoubtable incompetence, or an implementation of Obama's ever more glaringly obvious ambition to weaken America and help Islam to victory.
Barack Obama: leader of Islam 1
Barack Obama is a great leader of Islam.
A report that he told an Egyptian Foreign Minister on January 19, 2010, "You will see what I will do for Islam" and "I am a Muslim" is very likely true.
Here are just some of the great things he has done for Islam:
He has made it easy for Iran to acquire a nuclear arsenal.
He has brought the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, into the government of the United States to help formulate its policies.
He supports and sympathizes with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East.
He has made Israel's beleaguered existence far more difficult (see for instance here and here), and when Iran has its nuclear bombs, vulnerable to extinction.
He supports Hamas with funding and diplomacy, thus legitimizing a terrorist organization.
He has done the same for Hizbollah, except (as far as we know) for the funding.
He is helping the Taliban regain power in Afghanistan.
He restrained the government of Nigeria from cracking down on Boko Haram, the murderous Muslim organization whose mission is to kill as many Nigerian Christians as it can.
He continues to provide massive aid to Pakistan, one of the most repressive states among repressive Islamic states.
He is allowing Muslim terrorists to enter the US, in some cases more easily than other, law-abiding, applicants.
He is encouraging the issue of student visas to Muslims in ever greater numbers, while refusing them to most Israeli applicants.
He refuses to admit that the mass-killing of US servicemen and women by a Muslim at Fort Hood was an act of Islamic terrorism, although it was carried out in the name of Islam, insisting that it be dealt with by the law as "workplace violence".
He's had army instruction materials on the subject of terrorism purged of all reference to Islam.
He is allowing the Muslim murderers of US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, to go unpunished.
He will not allow the condign punishment of a Muslim who deserted from the US army.
He instructed NASA to make "reaching out to the Muslim world" one of the space agency's top priorities.
He has set five Taliban leaders free, described as "the worst of the worst", in exchange for a US army deserter.
He celebrates the bringing home of an American soldier who converted to Islam and embraced the Taliban cause.
Can there be any doubt that Islam has become an ever increasing menace to the non-Muslim world, and an ever increasing cause of death even within the Muslim world, since and because Obama became president of the US?
We register in our margin the daily toll of lethal Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11/2001 as recorded by The Religion of Peace.
The number has reached 23,121 today.
The Washington Times reported and commented on August 12, 2012:
Mr. Obama has used the occasion of Ramadan to rewrite US history and give Islam a prominence in American annals that it has not earned.
In this year's greeting, Mr. Obama said –
The rituals of Ramadan remind us of the principles that we hold in common and Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality. And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.
That Islam has had a major role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings may come as a surprise to Muslim women. Young Afghan girls who are having acid thrown in their faces on the way to school might want to offer their perspectives. That Islam is "known" for diversity and racial equality is also a bit of a reach. This certainly does not refer to religious diversity, which is nonexistent in many Muslim-majority states. This is a plaudit better reserved for a speech at the opening of a synagogue in Mecca.
Most puzzling is the president's claim that "Islam has always been part of America". Islam had no influence on the origins and development of the United States. It contributed nothing to early American political culture, art, literature, music or any other aspect of the early nation.
Throughout most of American history, the Muslim world was perceived as remote, alien and belligerent. Perhaps the president was thinking about the Barbary Pirates and their role in the founding of the US Navy, or Andrew Jackson's dispatch of frigates against Muslim pirates in Sumatra in the 1830s. Maybe he was recalling Rutherford B. Hayes' 1880 statement regarding Morocco on "the necessity, in accordance with the humane and enlightened spirit of the age, of putting an end to the persecutions, which have been so prevalent in that country, of persons of a faith other than the Moslem, and especially of the Hebrew residents of Morocco". Or Grover Cleveland's 1896 comment on the continuing massacre of Armenian Christians: "We have been afflicted by continued and not infrequent reports of the wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of men, women and children … "
The Bergdahl charade 1
We think the recovery of Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl from the Afghan enemy, by exchanging him for five Taliban prisoners of war, has to be looked at the other way round: by which we mean that the main object of the exercise was not the recovery of Sergeant Bergdahl, but the freeing of the five Taliban prisoners.
This is our reconstruction of what happened:
Obama wants to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay aka Gitmo. He said he would close it way back when he was campaigning for his first presidential election. He gave orders for it to be closed soon after his election to the presidency. He failed to get other countries to hold the prisoners. He attempted getting them moved to the US to be tried in civil courts, but failed. Now he is coming towards the last two years of his eight years in office, and is thinking of his "legacy" – what the historians will say of his presidency. It has been a series of failures both domestically and abroad. His far-left "base" is saying that he hasn't even managed to close Gitmo – a cause dear to its heart.
If only Gitmo could be emptied of its prisoners! But what excuse could the administration find for releasing them? Then someone – possibly even Obama himself – had the bright idea that the prisoners could be exchanged.
Question: How many Americans are being held captive by the Taliban?
Answer: One.
Only one? Can we exchange all the prisoners in Gitmo for just one American?
Maybe not all. But we could exchange a bunch of them for him. Let's exchange the worst of them. The most dangerous. Then perhaps we could just release the rest as being lesser dangers.
Make it so.
If Obama was told that Sergeant Bergdahl was a deserter and not worth exchanging for five high-value Taliban leaders, it would not have troubled him. Far from it. He could all too easily understand a man deserting from the US army.
And then he met Bowe Bergdahl's parents, and found them to be his sort of people: hippy types – and better still, one of them, the father, a convert to Islam.
To us Bergdahl Senior comes across as a 1960s type rebel who has never grown up. Who rebels against his country as an adolescent rebels against his parents; not because he really admires Muslims and Afghans – whom he probably knows little about – but because he wants to stick his tongue out at his own world, to annoy it, to pretend he is superior to it, to make it take notice of him. Which it is doing now.
For Obama – what a show, what a photo-op. In the Rose Garden. The press, the cameras. I, Obama, with the parents of the soldier I am bringing home … A grand charade on a bright summer's day. A happy occasion. How splendid we look, I and they.
And what a gorgeous distraction from the real purpose: the freeing of the Taliban leaders, getting to the closing of Gitmo.
No, we cannot prove any of this. But we think it highly plausible.
The entire episode, it seems to us, is an encapsulation of quintessential Obama.
On display, all at once, the elements of his character and his fixed ideas as he has consistently shown them to us: bragging, showing off to a vast audience, lying, hypocrisy, love of Islam, hatred of the US, hatred of the US military, churlish contrariness in giving an enemy the advantage over America, adolescent leftist ideology that is more spite than idea.
The consequences of releasing the five most dangerous Taliban leaders from the cages they belong in (graves would have been better for them) will be bad, but Obama will never take the blame for what must ensue.
The consequence of bargaining with terrorists for the release of a hostage (Sergeant Bergdahl counting as one rightly or wrongly) will be the seizing of Americans to be traded for prisoners and money. But Obama will never admit that he set the fatal precedent.
For that too is part of his essential nature: never to admit or even understand that he was wrong.
Commanded not to tell the truth 2
To add another scandalous detail to the post immediately below (Trading with the Taliban – as fellow Muslims?), here's our Facebook one-paragraph summary of a Jihad Watch article:
A former U.S. officer who served in Afghanistan with Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl claims that soldiers were threatened by U.S. authorities if they questioned his story. After he was captured, Bergdahl said on a video from his captors that he lagged behind on patrol, although other sources in the military suggested anonymously that he walked away from his post. Not only has this nebulous non-story been put out for years but soldiers of 4th Brigade 25th Infantry Division were threatened with legal repercussions if they spoke about Bergdahl. Many of Bergdahl's fellow troops signed nondisclosure agreements agreeing to never share any information about Bergdahl's disappearance and the efforts to recapture him. But Bergdahl was a deserter, and soldiers from his own unit died trying to track him down. Its probably unlikely that Bergdahl will face a court martial – because it would cast doubt on the deal the United States made with the Taliban to secure his release.
Still more sickening facts -
Mark Tapson writes (in part) at Front Page:
Let's get this clear about Bergdahl – he didn't "wander" off base that June day in 2009, as the media so often put it, like a lost toddler; if reports from the ground are to be believed (and they are), he intentionally and premeditatedly deserted.
In the wake of that, at least six good American soldiers died or were wounded in search attempts. Their names: Staff Sgt. Clayton Bowen, Pfc. Morris Walker, Staff Sgt. Kurt Curtiss, 2nd Lt. Darryn Andrews, Pfc. Matthew Michael Martinek, and Staff Sgt. Michael Murphrey. Their families and friends have suffered a far greater loss than the Bergdahl parents.
As Jake Tapper reports, "other operations were put on hold while the search for Bergdahl was made a top priority… Manpower and assets – such as scarce surveillance drones and helicopters – were redirected to the hunt. The lack of assets is one reason the closure of a dangerous combat outpost, COP Keating, was delayed. Eight soldiers were killed at COP Keating before it was ultimately closed."
What punishment will Bergdahl face? An anonymous senior Defense official [said] that he will not likely face any: "Five years [in 'captivity'] is enough."
Meanwhile our enemy rejoices. Five more dangerous Guantanamo terrorists are back in the field to plot havoc against American infidels, to kill and wound more American soldiers, soldiers who are already fatally hamstrung by Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan that don't even allow them to engage unless they're already under attack – and sometimes not even then.
Taliban leader Mullah Omar rightfully declared the trade a "great victory." It will result in more Americans – and not just soldiers – being targeted for hostages, because terrorists everywhere now know that that will pay off.
Trading with the Taliban – as fellow Muslims? 2
On Saturday May 31, Obama triumphantly announced that he had procured the release by the Taliban of a captured American soldier, Bowe Bergdahl, "the only known American prisoner of war in Afghanistan".
When terrorists hold hostages, the worst thing a government can do is bargain with them. If a ransom of any sort – money or release of prisoners – is paid to hostage holders, an industry begins. If the US government starts giving terrorists what they want in exchange for one American life, more Americans will be taken hostage. Can a government give ransom for one hostage and refuse to give it for others? On what grounds would such discrimination be made? One immorality will be compounded by another, either by the government's continuing to bargain or refusing to continue to bargain.
It was and should be a firm policy not to deal with terrorists. Obama broke that rule when he started negotiating with the Taliban years ago. Negotiating with terrorist organizations legitimizes them.
Not only has Obama let the Taliban win the war in Afghanistan, but he has also made himself their creature. All the American lives lost in that ghastly country have been spent for Obama to preen himself as a hero for "ending" the war – ie surrendering – and for getting back one hostage in exchange for five Taliban leaders* freed from Guantano military prison. They should have been shot long ago. Keeping them alive was always a bait for their terrorist comrades to capture Americans and hold them as bargaining chips.
Obama broke the law again when he traded five jihadis held in Guantanamo for Sergeant Bergdahl. Federal law requires Congress to be notified before prisoners are transferred. (He breaks the law so often it is becoming habitual. How weak is the Republican House of Representatives that they let him get away with it over and over again?)
And of course, the five released Afghan prisoners will rejoin the Taliban.
What Obama has done, on all these counts, is bad. Very bad.
But the story gets even worse.
It looks highly probable that Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was not being held as a hostage. He may well have been a deserter and collaborator. He may have been released because he converted to Islam – and gave positive help to the terrorists.
From the Washington Post:
Bergdahl, 28, is believed to have slipped away from his platoon's small outpost in Afghanistan's Paktika province on June 30, 2009, after growing disillusioned with the US military's war effort. He was captured shortly afterward by enemy forces and held captive in Pakistan by insurgents affiliated with the Taliban. At the time, an entire US military division and thousands of Afghan soldiers and police officers devoted weeks to searching for him, and some soldiers resented risking their lives for someone they considered a deserter.
Bergdahl was recovered Saturday by a US Special Operations team in Afghanistan after weeks of intense negotiations in which U.S. officials, working through the government of Qatar, negotiated a prisoner swap with the Taliban. In exchange for his release, the United States agreed to free five Taliban commanders from the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. …
Disappearing from a military post in a war zone without authorization commonly results in one of two criminal charges in the Army: desertion or going absent without leave … Desertion is the more serious one, and usually arises in cases where an individual intends to remain away from the military or to "shirk important duty," including a combat deployment such as Bergdahl's.
One Afghan special operations commander in eastern Afghanistan remembers being dispatched.
"Along with the American Special Forces, we set up checkpoints everywhere. For 14 days we were outside of our base trying to find him," he told The Washington Post …
But U.S. troops said they were aware of the circumstances of Bergdahl's disappearance — that he left the base of his own volition — and with that awareness, many grew angry.
"The unit completely changed its operational posture because of something that was selfish, not because a soldier was captured in combat," said one U.S. soldier formerly based in eastern Afghanistan … "The problem came of his own accord."
The search in Paktika was eventually called off, after US officials acknowledged that Bergdahl had been taken to Pakistan.
The "deaths and woundings of several US soldiers" happened in the search for Bergdahl. And "the frequency of enemy ambushes and improvised explosive devices increased after he was gone".
"The Taliban knew that we were looking for him in high numbers and our movements were predictable," [a soldier who was there commented]. "Because of Bergdahl, more men were out in danger, and more attacks on friendly camps and positions were conducted while we were out looking for him … His actions impacted the region more than anyone wants to admit."
Those sentiments were underscored in a long series of tweets that were posted Saturday night and went viral online. … The writer said he was on base at the time and believes that Bergdahl planned his escape for days, leaving between 3 and 4:30 a.m., when there was the least amount of light. The following day, the troops there questioned Afghan children nearby, who said they had seen an American crawling through weeds.
"While searching for him, ambushes and IEDs picked up tremendously," one of the tweets said. "Enemy knew we would be coming." …
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, speaking to reporters Sunday in Bagram, Afghanistan, declined to talk about any possible action by the military against Bergdahl. A senior defense official indicated that punitive action was unlikely, no matter what the circumstances were. "Five years is enough," he said.
Justice is of no interest or concern to the Obama regime, and prosecuting Sergeant Bergdahl for desertion and endangering his fellow American soldiers would spoil the aura of kudos with which Obama has surrounded himself over this "rescue".
Current and former service members also questioned whether the United States should have released five members of the Taliban in exchange for Bergdahl. Former Sgt. Aaron King, who deployed to Iraq twice as part of the 101st Airborne Division, said that … US troops join the military knowing that they could be kidnapped. He also said that troops accept that although their fellow service members will search for them, they are not to be used in negotiations.
"We're giving up too much for this individual," said King … "Five guys are getting back out into the world to probably conduct terror operations and harm others."
And we have no idea what Obama did to get this evil bargain agreed and implemented. We are told that "Qatar" was the go-between. Who in Qatar? Why? What did the negotiator say, and to whom? Was much made of Bowe Bergdahl's conversion to Islam?
Has his father, Bob Bergdahl, converted to Islam? If so, was it a cause or effect of his son's conversion and betrayal? And was it a help in getting his release?
Bob Bergdahl triumphant: if he looks like a Muslim, and talks like a Muslim, and prays like a Muslim ….
Former Army Lieutenant Col. Allen West caught a tweet by Sergeant Bergdahl's father, Bob Bergdahl, before it was deleted:
I am still working to free all Guantanamo prisoners. God will repay for the death of every Afghan child, ameen!
Which happened first – Bob Bergdahl becoming a Muslim and learning to speak Pashto, or Bowe Bergdahl joining the Taliban? Who affected whose decisions?
The plain fact is that we are at war with Islam, because Islam is actively at war with us. And out of this dark event, yet again the question arises: On whose side is the president of the United States, Barack Obama?
* The five Taliban prisoners released in the illegal, immoral, and dangerous exchange: Mohammed Fazl – head of the Taliban army. He commanded the main force fighting the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance in 2001. Mullah Norullah Noori – governor of Balkh province in the Taliban regime, helped coordinate the fight against the Northern Alliance. Mohammed Nabi Omari – the Taliban's chief of communications, helped al Qaeda members escape from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Khairullah Khairkhwa – governor of Herat province from 1999 to 2001, said to have been "directly associated" with Osama bin Laden. Abdul Haq Wasiq – deputy chief of the Taliban regime's intelligence service. His cousin was head of the service.
More pieces of apposite information come from the Daily Mail:
Bowe Bergdahl joined the military so he could help Afghans. He told his parents he was 'ashamed to even be American'. He mailed home boxes containing his uniform and books. His father, Bob, has grown a long, thick beard and learned to speak the Afghanistan tribal language Pashto. His parents said their son had joined the military so that he could help the Afghan people.
"The 24-year-old has converted to Islam and now has the Muslim name Abdullah," according to one of his captors, a Taliban deputy district commander in Paktika, who called himself Haji Nadeem. He said that Bergdahl taught him how to dismantle a mobile phone and turn it into a remote control for a roadside bomb. Nadeem also claimed he received basic ambush training from the US soldier.
Desertion in a time of war can carry the death penalty. But as Congress never passed a declaration of war in respect to Afghanistan, the maximum penalty Bergdahl would face is five years in prison and a dishonorable discharge, if it's proved that he deserted with the intent to avoid hazardous duty or to shirk important service. If a charge of absence without leave – ended by the US apprehending him – is brought against him, there would be no requirement of proof that he intended to remain away permanently. The maximum punishment for that would be a dishonorable discharge and 18 months' confinement.
And yet more fascinating information and speculation on The Bergdahl Mysteries come from Michael Ledeen at PJ Media:
I will confess to a dark suspicion that when Robert Bergdahl, standing next to President Obama, said in Pashto to Bowe Bergdahl, "I am your father," it was some sort of coded message. I mean, what in the world was that all about? Does any father have to say such a thing to a son? Did he think Bowe didn't know who his father was?
But then I started to ask questions of people who had followed the Bergdahl saga, and they calmed me down a bit. The elder Bergdahl seems a bit odd. Look at the pictures. "A hippy," one of my best sources said. A guy who'd gone to Idaho to pursue a lifestyle reminiscent of the romantic sixties: love, peace, and the expansion of the mind. … And it connects well with the story of Bowe, leaving his base in an "intoxicated state," which, if true, can't mean alcohol, which is forbidden in such places. It might mean pot, or hashish, however. Berkeley, California, on the plains of Afghanistan. …
Forget about the Taliban, they weren't holding Bowe. He was a captive of the Haqqanis … What did the Haqqanis get for Bergdahl? … Four of the Guantanamo terrorists were indeed Taliban, and hence low priority for the Haqqanis. …
So we need to ask how much money the Haqqanis got, or how many weapons … something of value had to be given to the Haqqanis. I don't believe they turned over Bowe as a favor to the Taliban.
It is also possible that the Iranians were involved …. They have trained both the Haqqanis and the Taliban, and they are eager to extend their control over Afghanistan as we retreat. … One of the released Taliban was in cahoots with them, planning anti-American operations as we prepared to invade in 2001. …
As we sort out the real facts from the abundant background noise, we will discover several disconcerting things: first, that control over the efforts to recover Bowe often shifted between US government agencies. Second, that it is misleading to say that the negotiations were underway for five years; the final push came in the last six weeks, when the Qataris told the U.S. that a deal was now possible. Third, that the list of Guantanamo terrorists to be "paid" shifted continuously. And fourth, who were the key intermediaries? I suspect we will find some relatively unknown academics involved in the talks. It wasn't entirely the work of Qatari diplomats and U.S. officials by any means.
Finally … why the sudden urgency at the end, when talks had often collapsed in the past? … We're missing a key element, something separate from the Bergdahl saga.
For once, I think we have a good chance to find out. There are lots of angry people out there, from military guys who despise Bowe and think he's worthless, to members of the various agencies who fought one another to get control and glory and will now tell very different versions of what actually took place.
The people I wouldn't trust on this one – aside from top decision makers who likely have a lot to hide – are the Bergdahls. They're very odd people, to put it mildly.
Raising the red flag 12
An Investor's Business Daily editorial lists some of Obama's far left appointees, and asks: "Does he have any friends who aren't crackpots?"
But the question that arises from the list is: Has Obama any friends – has he ever had any friends – who aren't communists?
America is a country of 320 million people, most of them holding to traditional values. Yet President Obama keeps mining the fringes for his hires. Does he have any friends who aren't crackpots?
Seriously. The president keeps saying he champions the middle class and its values. But his choices of people to help him run the country are the most extreme in U.S. history, and his second-term nominations are more radical than the first.
No sooner had even some Senate Democrats joined Republicans in voting down a cop killer-coddler for civil rights chief, Debo Adegbile, than Obama sent up a 2nd Amendment-basher for U.S. Surgeon General. Dr. Vivek Murthy advocates doctors asking patients if they keep guns in the home, a shocking invasion of privacy.
Murthy may also have a rocky path ahead of him, but other extreme-left nominees are getting confirmed.
Last year, Obama tapped former Congressional Black Caucus chief Mel Watt as, of all things, head of the federal agency regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which together underwrite 90% of all new-home loans. Republicans blocked his confirmation. But thanks to Democrats invoking the "nuclear option" and ending the filibuster, one of the most radical lawmakers in Congress is now effectively running America's mortgage industry.
Meanwhile, radical racialist Tom Perez runs the Labor Department, where he's threatening to sue employers who don't hire minority felons, just like he sued bankers who didn't make prime loans to un-creditworthy minority borrowers when he was civil rights chief.
You have to be a Kremlinologist to keep track of all the communist-sympathizing cronies orbiting this White House.
Obama's previous appointees include:
• Valerie Jarrett, his closest White House adviser, whose father-in-law worked closely with Obama mentor and Communist Party leader Frank Marshall Davis in a number of front groups during the Cold War.
• David Axelrod, Obama's political aide, whose mother worked for a communist organ in New York and whose mentor was Soviet agent David Canter.
• Van Jones, an admitted communist hired by Jarrett as Obama's green jobs czar.
• Anita Dunn, former White House communications director and Obama's 2012 foreign policy debate coach, who listed communist dictator and mass murderer Mao Zedong as one of her two favorite philosophers whom "I turn to most" when questions arise.
The other was Mother Teresa. The message: Torture, kill, pray.
• Cass Sunstein, Obama's regulatory czar who wrote a socialist "bill of rights" and who advocates redistributing wealth through climate-change policy.
• Samantha Power, ambassador to the United Nations, a 9/11 apologist who advised the president to follow a "doctrine of mea culpa" and literally bow down to foreign leaders as atonement for America's "sins."
• Anne-Marie Slaughter, former State Department policy chief, who advised the president to apologize for the War on Terror.
• Rashad Hussein, Obama's Mideast envoy, who once defended a convicted terrorist (then got caught lying about it), and drafted the president's Cairo speech apologizing for the War on Terror.
• Rose Gottemoeller, Obama's Soviet-sympathizing chief nuclear arms negotiator, who thinks America is a global "bully" and must unilaterally disarm for the sake of world peace.
• John Trasvina, assistant HUD secretary for fair housing who once headed the radical Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, whose co-founder made racist statements about whites.
• Cecilia Munoz, head of White House domestic policy who used to work for La Raza, the militant Latino group that advocates illegal immigrant rights.
• Erica Groshen, Bureau of Labor Statistics chief who sends her children to Camp Kinderland, aka "Commie Camp," a communist-founded institution where kids during the Cold War sang Soviet anthems.
• John Holdren, Obama's science czar, who's advised surrendering U.S. sovereignty to a "Planetary Regime" that will redistribute the West's wealth to underdeveloped countries and who once advocated "adding a sterilant to drinking water" to control population.
• Harold Koh, former State Department general counsel who believes in "trans-nationalism" and sees nothing wrong with Shariah law in U.S. courts.
• Tony West, associate attorney general who oversees Gitmo policy, even though he defended al-Qaida and Taliban terrorists including John Walker Lindh, who pleaded guilty to aiding the enemy and fighting U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
So what? In Washington, personnel are policy. These people make the rules we have to live by, from health care to home loans to homeland security.
And these radical political appointees hire other radicals at the bureaucratic levels, where they'll become entrenched as career federal employees.
In 2008, before Obama was nominated, we warned about his radical associations, including his ties to Davis — a hardened communist with a thick FBI file — at his Honolulu home. His defenders wrote off this Marxist indoctrination as youthful experimentation.
When we pointed out Obama spent 20 years in the pews of an America-bashing preacher, his apologists argued he was merely attending Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church to burnish his urban bona fides.
When we noted Obama launched his political career in the living room of an unrepentant communist terrorist, his defenders argued Bill Ayers had blossomed into a respected professor, that his days of cheering on the Vietcong and bombing the Pentagon were behind him.
We were told the parade of anti-American subversives Obama came in contact with throughout his life amounted to ancient history. But now we have this roster of radical appointments, a current record that's harder to explain away and which raises the indefeasible question of whether they're a reflection of himself.
Only there can be no question about it. He and they are birds of a feather.
The enemy has gained the commanding heights of power.
If this is not treason, what is? 6
The Cold War is not over. Russia is winning it the only way it could, by America choosing to lose it.
From this Investor's Business Daily editorial we get a clear understanding of how drastically and easily Obama and his clique are sabotaging the United States.
As Russia test-fires new, updated ICBMs on the heels of its Ukraine invasion, Obama's top arms negotiator is busy downsizing and mothballing America's nuclear arsenal and destroying our deterrent.
Thanks to Undersecretary of State Rose Gottemoeller, a left-wing peacenik and old Soviet apologist, Russian strongman Vladimir Putin is inching dangerously closer to first-strike capability.
Gottemoeller, a longtime anti-nuke activist, is the architect of the disastrously one-sided 2010 U.S.-Russia New Start deal that slashes America's nuclear arsenal from 5,000 deployable warheads to just 1,550.
One-sided is right. Ms Gottemoeller is only anti-nuke when the nukes are in the arsenal of the US. She loves them when they are in the hands of KGB officer Putin.
In a major concession to Moscow, the deal also limits our development of missile defense interceptors.
The administration won't even certify to Congress that Russia is complying with its end of the deal (the requirement was removed from the last budget deal). That's because it's not. And while we're gutting our nukes, Russia is upgrading its arsenal.
Moscow's nuclear modernization program includes new warheads and delivery systems, both missiles and bombers. Yet, "We are not developing new nuclear weapons or pursuing new nuclear missions," Gottemoeller recently clucked.
Worse, the administration has agreed not to even test our aging nukes for reliability. Gottemoeller is pushing the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty as a top priority.
Despite her overtures — or perhaps because of them —
Perhaps? Precisely because of them!
Moscow has toughened its posture toward the U.S. and is no longer interested in arms control talks.
No matter, Gottemoeller is fine with disarming America unilaterally, if necessary.
She proposes cutting our strategic warheads to as low as 300. Next, she wants to cut tactical or battlefield nukes, both deployed and non-deployed, even though Russia has a massive 10-to-1 advantage in such weapons. She even wants to ban fuel production.
How can she do that without a treaty? Easy. Obama can make an executive agreement, bypassing the difficult Senate ratification process.
Like her boss, Gottemoeller thinks America is a global "bully" and that its nuclear superiority has created a global arms race. She argues the U.S. must show humility by signing nuclear disarmament treaties and become strategically equal with Russia.
Not even equal. Inferior.
… Most Cold War babies grew up hating the Soviet Union. Not "Rosie" Gottemoeller.
She admired the former communist superpower. Her father told her the Soviets were better at science, so she studied Russian and immersed herself in Soviet propaganda. She's visited Moscow so many times she now considers it her "second home".
Second home? If home is where the heart is, Moscow is her first and only home.
Where are you, Joe McCarthy, when we need you?
With her sitting across the negotiating table –
No wonder Moscow is thumbing its nose at arms reduction.
No wonder a Russian general recently threatened to take preemptive military action against U.S. and allied missile defenses in Europe.
No wonder Russian strategic nuclear bombers are flying so close to Alaska and California.
No wonder Putin has no problem marching into Ukraine. He knows nothing will happen.
Even the IBD does not see what is staring it in the face, the fact that its own story makes blindingly obvious. It concludes:
His Soviet-style power play shows just how dangerously naive Obama and his nutty no-nuke advisers are. Gottemoeller's ambitious plans for further denuclearizing the U.S. will only invite worse military aggression.
He and they are not naive. No one except a baby or a lunatic could be that naive. They are deliberately giving America to the Russians – to Putin, who wants to restore the Soviet Union and its empire. Why can't the opposition forces see what's happening and take every step necessary to stop it? Is it because they are naive – or lunatic? Or is it because they cannot bring themselves to believe the evidence so plainly set before their own eyes?

This 125 cruiser from the '90s loses out a little bit, mainly because it uses the old 1980s Honda CB125cc twin cylinder motor. If you're short in the leg, or short on cash, then the Honda CA125 Rebel makes an acceptable used bargain, as the build quality is a cut above some other 125 cruisers, but Honda's VT125 Shadow is miles better.

The Kawasaki GTR1000, an 80s touring dinosaur, has its good points; a screen which actually protects the rider well, shaft drive, comfy saddle, a massive 28.5 litre fuel capacity and - for the time - respectable handling. But the aged GPZ1000 motor, weak brakes and dated styling limit its appeal.

Teen Mom 2 Clip: Jenelle Evans Sucks at Parentingby Free Britney at . Comments
Jenelle Evans is not a good parent. Just ask her own mother, Barbara.
Stumbling home and appearing far more interested in a new boy she just met than the little boy she gave birth to, the Teen Mom 2 star was reprimanded harshly by her mom on this week's episode of the controversial MTV program.
Here's Jenelle Evans hung over, annoyed and covered in hickeys ...
Jenelle already forfeited legal custody of Jace to Barbara prior to this classy mother-daughter screaming match, likely not the first or last of its kind.
"Where the hell you been, Jenelle?" Barbara yelled. "Look at your damn neck! All of the hickeys all over your friggin' neck!" Nice work, Kieffer Delp.
Awkwardly, Barbara then turned to her scarred-for-life baby grandson and said, "Your mother's a bad girl ... bad, bad, bad." Yup ... pretty much.
Jenelle's reply: "I'm tired, I have a headache, I feel like I'm going to throw up!"
Lulabelle, what are you talking about? Liberals are pro-choice, meaning they feel that abortion is an option to consider. It's the ultra-conservatives who feel that abortion is murder (it's against their religion) and therefore they are the ones who rage against abortion. I'd like to know what world you live in...
This is exactly what happens when bleeding heart liberals pound their chests and rage against abortion: babies having babies and NO ONE wanting them. I'd rather abort a fetus that was bound for a life with the likes of Barbara and Janelle that to see that precious life being raised by those two. This is all we need: more idiots raising children who are destined to be idiots, too. This is what is wrong with society and why you see so many slack-jawed gene-deficient people at Wal-Mart.
It is obvious by Janelle's jaw that she was born from an "insufficient gene pool" and by her mother's actions and speech that her brain never developed fully, either. Although Barbara, the grandmother, SEEMS, when on camera, to care for her grandson, Jace, properly, it would be even more interesting to see what happens between the two when the cameras aren't rolling. Typically, people of Barbara's ilk are undereducated and prone to blowing up out of frustration due to their own stupidity. Jace needs to be removed from both Barbara and Janelle permanently.
I think janelle should step up and be a mother wow she got pregnint at sixteen i got pregnint at 13 wow and i take care of my baby i was with my baby all the time and graduated thairs no reason she acts like that hermoms right she should not have sex dus she want more babys???????????????????
Barbara is a head case and a control freak. She thinks she is Jace's mother, but Jenelle is in some fog and walks by her invisible son all the time. But, living with a mother like that, who wouldn't mentally check out? Jenelle keeps picking loser boy after loser boy. She's got the priorities of a 16 year old and her mother wants her to poof turn into someone she can't be right now. Her mother has scary eyes, like there's no soul in there. I feel bad for Jenelle. She needs to get away from her mother. I think everyone loses here. Barbara needs intensive therapy. She doesn't even see how manipulative, controlling and overbearing she is.
ok so why jenelle felt like throwing up?????
Because she was on a hangover, duh! What do you think!! Because of her stupid a** manipulating, overbearing, controlling mother, and you dummies blaming Jenelle for all this emotional abuse she faced. PATHETIC!
Poor, poor Jace. Good grief.
Being surrounded by all that yelling and fighting is stressful for the family and child; it's an unhealthy environment for Jace. If there is this kind of ridiculous, classless screaming match going on all the time, the home is unfit. Just ask Amber and Gary. Right now, it doesn't seem like Barbara OR Jenelle can give Jace all he deserves. Now that Jenelle has become a mother, she should step up completely, or step down completely and let someone more prepared give Jace a good life. Being a mother means making difficult decisions. It means sacrificing your sleep, your parties, for your baby. Your baby NEEDS you to be there for him. So BE there. It's not about you anymore, Jenelle. It'll never be about you like it was before Jace. Jace should come first in your decisions and actions. You should think things through and do what's best for him.
I'd act out too if I had to live in a house with Barbara! She grates my nerves. Just watching her on the screen makes me anxious! Jenelle is the way she is because of her mother.
Ashley, u took those words out of my mouth, COMPLETELY!!!
I was a teen mon and now almost 40 and have 3 boys. I feel sorry for that poor baby boy. I think he should be taken away from Jenelle and Barbara. They both have mental issues and that baby needs to be in a house with a stable family. They way Barbara treats her daughter will be the way she treats Jace. I have a controlling mother just like Barbara and that is not a good way to grow up. I think someone needs to step in and take Jace. He would be better in a stable home. This is just my opinion and nit wanting to get into any arguments with anyone over it. Good luck baby Jace. Jenelle get your life together and Barbara back off and learn that people gave feelings. You raised Jenelle so think about that. If she is acting out of control then maybe you need to work on your parenting skills.
I remember Hickeys... they hurt like hell. The ones on the neck were not that bad though. HA!!

Russia's backing of Bashar al-Assad and his regime is a geopolitical game, says Stefan Meister, expert in Russian foreign and security policy.

Mid-range Italian?
- 50firstdatesguy Nov 26, 2007 09:06 AM
I have a lady friend who strongly prefers to go dutch, even if it goes on my card and she tosses me a $20 or something she still feels much better. Therefore I try to find places that aren't too expensive for her (as she's a student). So far I've lucked out at standard places like Golden Thai or even RichTree, places you can spend $75 - $80 and not feel ripped off, decent ambience and eye-candy, food's decent. etc.
How about Italian? Any good places where a shared appetizer, two dishes, two drinks usually = less than $100? We don't need fancy or fusion stuff, just the foundational stuff done REALLY well.
There are two that I can think of where the value far exceeds the cost. Fusilli at Queen & River and Zucca on Yonge south of Eglinton.
531 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M5A1V1, CA
2150 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4S 2A8, CA
re: estragon
Second Tutti Matti.
Very solid Italian at that price range. There's a 3 course lunch for $15. Excellent value. It's a la carte for dinner.
re: TorontoJo
Terroni. Terroni. Terroni.
I prefer the Queen location but Victoria st. is okay too.
re: pistachio peas
I second Terroni. Best italian in the city.
Another vote for Terroni.
Also, The Big Ragu would be fun for date night. It's at St. Clair and Lansdown, so not quite central, but they have good cockail options, authentic Italian and a fun and kinda sexy atmosphere. I think you could do it for under $100.
I haven't been in a while, but I also have very fond memories of Five Doors North. Small plate menu, so best if you're into sharing. Like Ragu, its a place that's both fun and intimate, won't break the bank, and has that kind of I'll-take-you-to-a-secret-spot feeling that can work well on a date.
PS - liked your Greek review!
re: Rabbit
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm thinking Terroni's or Fusilli's for this Friday. I will write a review of wherever I end up going. I'm leaning towards Fusilli's, I pass by that place several times a week heading downtown and I cannot help but think each time what a cozy looking little place that is. Based on the good reviews I'm keen to try it!
Sounds like the decision has already been made - and it is a good one - but I just wanted to toss Seven Numbers and Gio Rana's Really, Really Nice Restaurant into the mix. Of the two Seven Numbers locations, I prefer the 306 Danforth. Gio's is a better option if you want a younger vibe or to hang out for drinks pre or post meal... http://www.torontolife.com/guide/rest...
Menus are pretty much identical as all of the spots are linked by family, but they have great apps for under $10.00, small pasta courses for under $10.00 and really nice veg sides. Rotating selection of reasonably priced mains also...
May be a better option of you worry that Fusilli may be too "quiet-date-spot" for what you are looking for...
Terroni's new location in the old Court House building is also now open and much nicer than their Victoria Street spot.
re: jgloverwork
hey is that the place with the big fiberglass nose on the front??
re: jgloverwork
I'm not sure what "too quiet date spot" means, but I'm going to disagree anyway. Whenever hubby & I dine at Fusilli we invariably leave with the glow of a very romantic, laid-back, enjoyable evening. I always say we fall more in love each time we go.
re: Googs
Googs, I think that's exactly what jgloverwork was getting at. The OP referred to a "lady friend," not necessarily a date. I have a friend who sometimes likes to take me out for things he knows I can't afford, and a romantic glow is the last thing we are looking for. Not that it's a reason to rule out any place if it's the kind of food we want, but there are some places that are better saved for a different kind of company, and it's good to be forewarned. :)
re: Wahooty
Keep in mind if the two of you want to have any kind of conversation forget 7 Numbers! Do a search and you will see many complaints regarding the noise level. It really is unbearable. I agree Gio's (yes the place with the fibre glass nose) is a good choice if you want something hip and happening. It too can get loud but in a good way. The food is quite good and reasonably priced. Fusilli would be much quieter but equally a good choice. Another spot worth considering is Vittario's at Yonge and Davisville.
re: millygirl
Thanks for clarifying that guys. Yeah I didn't go into much detail but my initial aim was just to find affordable places because it seems dutch is a bit more 'in' these days.
But that being said, re: atmosphere, a seriously romantic environment is still cool with me, I mean it can't hurt. A wise man once articulated it like this: "Giggidy Giggidy".
So Fusilli is a definite maybe, and since Gio's is even closer and I've ALWAYS wanted to see what this 'nose place' is all about that will be next on my list, this Friday it will probably be one of the two.
Thanks for the heads up with regards to 7 Numbers, I find yelling environments a bit limiting at times.
re: Wahooty
That is exactly what I meant. Fusilli is great, but to me it feels like more of a "formal date" spot. Wonderful, romantic - but didn't know if 50firstdates was looking for a "gaze into each other's eyes" type of evening :)
re: jgloverwork
Ah ha the blonde gets it now. He may want to get to 50 2nd dates. Giggidy giggidy gig-gi-dy!
I would like to add some classics to this list. Although I often eat at my local Terroni's, I am not always thrilled with the experiance. I find most times I have to wait for a table, and the food is standard at a mid to high price. If you have money to splurge, Noce across the street is very good. My favorite Italian in the city is Grano's on Young st. between Davisville and Eglinton. This place makes you feel like you've lucked into one of the coolest restaurants in Rome. The food is habit worthy. The rooms are beautiful and big enough for a large party. I think the owners of Terroni based the plans for their restaurants on Grano's.
I'm now going to let out a carefully gaurded family secret. Cammara's on Dufferin N. of Eglinton, S. of Lawrence makes THE BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD!!! They only deliver locally (boo hoo, not to my downtown apt.) but it is definatly worth the trip. My family used to live in the states and my brother would pick up a fresh pie and drive it down during his visits to satisfy our jones. It's that good. The rest of the menu is excellent and definatly comes in at your budget.
P.S. The little pre made takeaway food next door at Bologna Pacifica is the best. Anytime I eat next door, I stock up on Lasagne, Manacotti, Sauces, Cookies...etc.
All fresh made in the back by sweetie Italian ladies, and perfect for our busy lifestyles.
Now I know both of my suggestions are off the beaten track for some, but those who seek out these restaurants will be rewarded with yummy, well priced food and wine.
re: zazapower
I used to make the trip to Camarra's for pizza years ago. Is it still that good?
re: zazapower
Never can resist someone posting about good pizza.
2899 Dufferin St, Toronto, ON M6B3S7, CA
re: Pincus
ha! and it ain't a secret no more! so much for "carefully guarded", but let's get the spelling right guys - it's one 'm' and two 'r's

After 18 months as being a consultant I have re-branded my consultancy into an overall Agency of "Quaero Media". The first point of call is getting clients on board but this require more than just my personal name and brand and of course required the development of a company website.
Being different
Rather than just a standard website, I wanted to and felt needed to create a site which stands out but also is built from a strong technical SEO point, so I decided to build a Parallax scrolling website with a community blog attached. If you like parallax websites there are some really good ones like Mario Kart Wii sites like this gave me inspiration to try something a little different.
The Design:
I am not a designer but yet I have worked with many designers and developers over the years, I wouldn't consider myself to a coder if I was sat in a room full of programmers but yet I can piece together code to perform what I require, I also understand the logic previously working in C+, HTML and then PHP but also being a CTO for a listed company in my previous capacity means I've had to be aware of technical specifications in a lot of diverse areas, but to make my life easier I initially purchase a template which I could customise to reduce work load.
Some Background:
So I wanted to use a parallax design, however a one page website is not the best solution for SEO, so I created the blog outside of the parallax framework. (Note: The whole site is created in WordPress). What next created a problem is that for anyone that saw my SMX London presentation on Mobile Trends, Apps and Landing pages (with Rob Kerry and Andy Atkins Kruger) will know I made the statement that "Approximately 20% of your traffic now comes from a mobile device" so I needed to make sure the new company site could be viewed on tablets and smart phones something which parallax websites don't do very well.
Creating the website:
I'm going to be very transparent and tell you how I created the site, what resources I used, what I had to change to my pages to get the Parallax affect to work in WordPress but also what I did to get the site up and running in fashion which I could take any criticisms on board but know that I implemented a lot of the points which I would advise in my services to other companies.
The website consist of two and half primary themes, you might be thinking how do you have half a theme? It's because there is one main theme which runs the desktop version of the website which I have created a specific template (The front page) which uses a separate styles sheet and few pieces of code to pull in each single WordPress page into the one page site.
I carried out the standard work to choose a static page for my home page and the blog page.
I then used the following code so that I can pull in each actual single page I created in the WordPress admin into one single page template:
Code to display a page outside of WordPress:
I had to add the standard WordPress header code and then the following:
The Page Title:
<?php $page_id = 164; $page_data = get_page( $page_id ); echo '
<stong>'. $page_data->post_title .'
';// echo the title ?>
The content:
<?php $page_id = 164; $page_data = get_page( $page_id ); echo apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content); ?>
Where ID equals the actual page ID, I repeated this ten times so my home page is actually ten pages.
What about duplicate content of those pages? And what about mobile devices?
To get around the mobile device issue I installed the "Mobile theme switcher" plugin (Link in resources); this enabled me to use a second theme for anyone coming to the site from a mobile device.
I used a an adaptive design for the second theme; this means once someone uses the site from a mobile device the whole design adapts to the screen size, the advantage:
- My site can be seen on virtually all mobile devices and is usable
- There is no duplication of content as they are all the same URLs
Desktop Version:
Ipad Version:
Iphone Version:
You will however notice that the pages I did create into one single entity for the desktop version are now the menu; so surely this could give some form of duplicate content? I did this because on a mobile you don't really want all that information on one page, so the unique pages are all accessible from a mobile device I however did no index them and put the canonical as http://quaeromedia.com – thus removing any issues from this scenario.
The other change I had to make to the second theme (For mobile devices) was to remove the dynamic menu and sidebar widgets, this as it simply conflicted with widgets in the desktop theme.
WordPress Setup:
I used the following plugins (annotated with reasons)
- Askimet (Standard Plugin)
- Ultimate Coming Soon Page (By http://seedprod.com/)
- WordPress SEO by Yoast – http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/ (Well of course)

- Disqus Comment System – http://disqus.com/ (Looked at a good number of comment systems, I choose this one)
- After the deadline – http://www.afterthedeadline.com/ (I have really bad spelling so though this would be good to implement. (This is actually part of Jet Pack)
- Jet Pack – It connect with many of the plugin available on wordpress.com (Not used it before but the reviews are all good.)
- Most Shared Post – by Tom Anthony http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/most-shared-posts/
- Sharebar – The standard sharing bar for posts etc, http://devgrow.com/sharebar-wordpress-plugin/
- Had to add in linkedin and Google plus buttons manually tutorial via http://www.internoetics.com/

- I did have to remove the standard author box code from the applicable template.
- Hyper Cache – http://www.satollo.net/plugins/hyper-cache – WordPress cache for system improvement and to save resources.
- DB Cache Reloaded – http://www.poradnik-webmastera.com/projekty/db_cache_reloaded/ – WordPress cache of database queries

- Wp greet Box - http://omninoggin.com/projects/wordpress-plugins/wp-greet-box-wordpress-plugin/ – Puts a dynamic message based on referrer.
- Google Sitemaps generator - http://www.arnebrachhold.de/redir/sitemap-home/ – This should be standard in WordPress (It's in my standard list.)
- Bullet Proof Security – http://www.ait-pro.com/ – Security should always be on your mind.
- Broken Link Checker - http://w-shadow.com/ – Make sure your no longer linking to somthing which isn't there, also stop search engines indexing broken links.
- SEO Ultimate – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-ultimate/ – This is quite a good plugin, i did however disable the title and meta description modules as I prefer what you get with yoasts plugin.
- Comprehensive Google Maps Plugin – http://initbinder.com/comprehensive-google-map-plugin – this is to simple show locations easliy via Google Maps
- Auto Tweet Plugin – http://www.zpetneodkazy-linkbuilding.com/ – This creates a twitter app for your website and automatically tweets your new posts.
Implemented Tracking:
- Google Analytics
- Google Webmaster Tools
- Bing Webmaster Tools
- 0844 Telephone number for the website from http://www.relaxtelecom.co.uk/ (Can get XML file and call lists)
WordPress Settings:
I added following ping services a total of 72 – Download File – (I'm not going to list them all here.)
I also added a list of blacklist comment words (There is probably a lot more, but this is the initial list). – Download file.
For my permalink structure I used:
- Custom Structure of: /%category%/%postname%-%post_id%.html
This was because I like an organised structure of URLs by Folder, I can also identify posts easily because they will contain .html
Page Speed:
Well its not excatly going to put me a no.1 position if i have a good page speed, but i think it is important to make sure your website is fast on loading, so using firebug for firefox with the Google Pagespeed addon, i simply went through the site to see what changes I could make.
So could be better, but from a personal perspective 90 is a good score and I feel I can benefit my time else where than making this number greater.
What else I did:
For me putting a new website live is not just about the website, you have to consider the social entities which are part of your website family; so I created:
- Created Google Places Listing – Awaiting Confirmation
- Created Google Plus Company Page: https://plus.google.com/103115175654391695025/
- Created Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/QuaeroMedia
- Created Linkedin Page: http://www.linkedin.com/company/quaero-media
- Created Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/quaeromedia
- Created Foursquare: – Awaiting Confirmation
Final Checks:
I think it is important that you check cross browser compatability, however there are so many I have checked Quaero Media works on the following and then will analyse anaytics.
- Firefox 11.0
- Google Chrome 20.0.1132.47
- Internet Explorer 9
- Ipad 1 – Safari
- Iphone 4s – Safari
On to the future
We would love to hear you thoughts on our new website, if there was something you would have done differently, if you like / dislike the site, is there any plugins you think we should have used.
Thanks for Reading and welcome to Quaero Media.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - A fire in San Diego County wilderness has scorched 750 acres of dry brush but is not burning near structures.
State fire Capt. Mike Mohler says the blaze southeast of Julian was sparked around midday Sunday in the Banner Grade area.
It was still burning out of control several hours later, pushed by winds expected to remain until Monday afternoon.
City News Service says firefighters initially requested state Route 78 be closed near Scissors Crossing. But California Highway Patrol officers on that 10-mile stretch said conditions were rapidly changing, and the road is open but being monitored.
A second wildfire that had been burning since Thursday about 30 miles east of Julian is 100 percent contained.
That fire consumed more than four square miles of desert scrub.

Emaar has 'project plans for the next 150 years'
ubai developer Emaar is planning project to last for up to the next 150 years, it's chairman Mohamed Alabbar told reporters as he emphasised the company's long-term vision.
Last week, Burj Khalifa developer Emaar Properties and investment firm Dubai Holding launched its latest multi-million project known as Dubai Creek Harbour at The Lagoons.
The mega project will include 3,664 office units, 8 million square feet of retail space, 39,000 residential units and 22 hotels with 4,400 rooms, while the centrepiece will be The Dubai Twin towers, which will be the tallest twin towers in the world.
Speaking on the sidelines of a fashion event this week, Alabbar told The Daily Star newspaper that Emaar had no plans to slow down its massive construction drive "in the near future" and "are also expanding in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and India."
With further developments in Downtown Dubai around the iconic Burj Khalifa and The Dubai and the luxury Dubai Hills community among its plans, Alabbar said it had projects in the pipeline for many years to come.
"Emaar's projects are long term and we don't make plans for the next five years but for the next 50 years, 100 years and 150 years… As long as the country [is witnessing economic] growth we will pursue our projects. We are very optimistic about the future," he was quoted as saying by the Beirut-based The Daily Star newspaper.
Earlier this year, the property giant was rolling out one new project every week in 2014 across Dubai, with sources suggesting the trend could continue throughout the year.
"You just need to stay alert and weigh your options," he continued. "When the market is calm you slow down your drive but when it's booming you move full force."
Dubai's real estate has gone from boom to bust to boom again in the space of eight years. The market soared late in the last decade, then crashed as a bubble burst, cutting residential prices by more than half and nearly causing Dubai to default on its debt.
Since then, an influx of foreign money, particularly from Arab countries blighted by war and civil unrest, has helped Dubai's property sector rebound strongly. Prices are now roughly around pre-crisis levels, up by about a third from a year ago.
"We will continue to supply the market – supply in the market is good for our customers because it keeps prices at a reasonable level," Alabbar told reporters at the launch of its latest project at Dubai Creek.
"In 2013, things went crazy because supply was limited. For me as a long-term developer, this spike scares me, so I'm glad people are saying, 'Oh, the market is cooling down.' I think that is healthy."
A September report by property consultants JLL found Dubai's residential rents and sales prices rose 2 percent and 1 percent respectively in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the previous quarter. That was slower than 3 percent and 6 percent increases in the second quarter.
