It is now desirable to cover loco-regional/statewide and international affairs; the appended Daily Alert

covers many topics simultaneously [including the Brooklyn-stabbing video] and it, again, conveys the
long-term import of recent Middle East policies, both correct (ascribable to BB) and, alas, incorrect (c/o
BHO). {Also note the Gruber fact-check results and the fact that, just like ObamaDontCare, the BoehnerBill upload was unsuccessful.

Biden may claim there is No Daylight between Israel and U.S. on Security, but the weekend
transformation regarding whether BHO will impose sanctions on Israel suggests otherwise; whereas
the rumor was initiated on Thursday and sustained on Friday [via Josh Earnest], it was quashed on
Monday [via Jan Psaki]. It seems this was a bridge-too-far, even for a politically-savvy POTUS, and it
again contrasts with Netanyahus major concern, as expressed at the Saban Forum: Increase the
Pressure on Iran to Dismantle Its Nuclear Weapons Capability. Indeed, Rattled by wartime rockets, Israel
plans alternate airport, even as Israel Indicted an American Over Plot to Bomb Muslims. When chatting
with those who appear ignorant of the basics, convey Four Facts That Everyone Should Know About
the Palestinian Arab War on Israel and then summarize a colorful history lesson [followed by a
magnificent speech by the brilliant Ben Hecht]; this may be both inspirational and frustrating; for his
perceptions in 1947-48 captures the attitude of far too many contemporary American Jews. {Finally,
note that Syrian Jewish bibles are at the core of an ownership dispute, recalling the tug-of-war
regarding antiquities that were removed from Baghdad for safe-keeping.}

WATCH: Call to "Slaughter the Jews"

from Palestinian Preacher at Temple Mount
Know that the Islamic State Claimed a Radioactive Device is Now in Europe, as Moldova arrested 7
suspected of uranium smuggling to make 'dirty bomb.' Know also that Arlene Kushner reports that
Abbas prefers to represent himself as a refugee now, but hes on record as saying that his family left
Sfat voluntarily; this video-hyperlink also contains terse documentation of how Abbas misrepresented
slaughter-culpability during the 1929 Hebron-massacre. These issues were swirling when Kerry faced
with senators who are dubious about the administrations war on the Islamic State; perhaps he may
wish to try to recall a time when it was a positive for US Boots to be on the Ground.

Last nights event [sponsored by the township-GOP, The Abington Township Rockledge Borough
Republican Organization] yielded confirmatory conversations regarding the aforementioned priorities
[launching the PA-Chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans and systematizing multi-level politicaldemographic data management] that had been explored last Friday-p.m. on the county-level with Rep.
Vereb [sponsored by the MCRC, the MontCo Republican Committee], detailed previously. Regarding the
latter initiative, it seems others are [finally!] tooling up nationally [The secret GOP tech summit to plot
2016]. Regarding the former, a meeting will be held this weekend between a Pennsylvanian and the
LCR-execs in D.C., the results of which will be conveyed to Rep. Vereb, as we prep for [what is hoped to
be] a January roll-out [and anyone who knows anyone who would wish to be involved in this effort as
the cc-list lengthens should please contact me promptly.
A PoliticsPA reader-poll demonstrated strong opposition to AG-Kane [who reshuffled
her top staff last week] and another demonstrated strong support for Senator Toomey
[80-20]; this was my explanation for these contrasting results:
It is necessary to provide a bit of perspective when explaining why Pat is
so popular; although no one can speak for Guzzardi, noting that he was
ardently supportive of his primary-challenge to Specter a decade ago, I
would attempt to channel some of what I recall was occurring, for it
presaged growing recognition of his political maturity.
As a disclaimer, I would want to note that I saw him [and his pregnant
wife] @ a picnic deep in Bucks County ~6 years ago, and shared with
them the frustration we were having when trying to find a synagogue
that would invite him to speak; I had advised that he tackle the
abortion-issue upfront [details deferred, here], and then discuss his
Fund-for-Growth philosophies.
Nothing worked, perhaps due to the entrenched-lib mentality within
the Jewish Community which, perhaps, is eroding a bit after a
relentlessly anti-Israel POTUS has ruled for more than a half-decade;

471

Dems eschewed his input locally and nationally, a posture that they
presumably have lived to regret.
*
The morning after his primary-victory, I saw him @ NE-Airport [with
FNCs amazingly-skinny Campaign Carl Cameron] as he hit five cities
[Philly, Allentown, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Erie] in one day; the evening
of his November-victory, we saw him in Allentown [with Dom Giordano
broadcasting-live].
In the interim, throughout his campaign, he combined energy and
intelligence, presaging his immediate acceptance into D.C.s inner-circle
[McConnell presided @ his evening-reception after he was sworn-in];
thereafter, it may be recalled, he was chosen to join those trying to
effect a budgetary Sequester compromise.
Thus, whomever competes with him will have to confront a guy who is
down-to-earth engaging; hes neither slick nor elitist [unlike people like
the POTUS and Gruber].
*
This means that, with regard to his ability to seek common ground [e.g.,
Gun Law], he will credibly recall the ability to cross the aisle
meaningfully; yet, with regard to his principles, he will credibly recall
joining with key-conservatives on major-votes.
I have predicted that Josh Shapiro would be chosen over Joe Sestak
[assuming no one else enters, such as McCord]; I have also predicted
[based upon personal observation of both, over the years] that they
would run a philosophically high-plane competition.
I recognize the existence of x-factors [POTUS-year, PA voting Blue, etc.];
nevertheless, combining the power of incumbency with the legacy of
balanced achievement will be difficult to dislodge.
It seems the wages of sin are not particularly excessive in PA [Ex-judge in porn email
scandal gets $11K monthly pension and Former PHA chief Carl Greene fined $75K].
Meanwhile, intrigue in Happy Valley persists [Judge in Penn State sanctions case strikes
down NCAA's pre-emptive strike on 'duress'; Spanier still collecting a Penn State
paycheck], recalling that the one key-goal is to restore JoePas wins [for this was a
vindictive, Draconian action]. One wonders how Wolf will handle the fact that PA
pension costs are to climb by $466M next year unless, of course, the current legislature
[or that which is sworn-in a fortnight before Wolf is] can make itself appear useful.
I held-off commenting on the loss on Sunday by the Iggles until the key-videos were available; note that
the post-game interviews revealed a guy with class [LeSaun McCoy] who dissed himself while reporters
472

praised him for passing Brian Westbrook as the best running-back in Iggles-History, whereas a guy
without class [Mark Sanchez] blamed the loss on a superior opponent. [This settles the QB-controversy,
and one can expect Foley to emerge by years end.] Also, one wonders if Chip Kellys staccato-style was
inspired by the portrayal of Mumbles [c/o Dustin Hoffman] in the Dick Tracy flick. Additional pieces
that may be perused prior to the Dallas-Game provide perspectives that may inform off-season efforts
to transform this good team to becoming a top-tier entity [Eagles head coach Chip Kelly: Richard
Sherman is the best corner in the league; Sherman: Eagles Miss DeSean, Current WRs Didn't Threaten
Us; Eagles' Riley Cooper blames Mark Sanchez for key interception: 'He threw the ball'; Kelly Defends
Cooper Amid Disappointing Season; Philly's Biggest Obstacles to Deep Playoff Run; Eagles' Secondary
Remains a Primary Concern; Kelly: 'We Just Need to Execute'; and Will Dallas' Extra Time to Prepare for
Eagles Matter?]. {Also note that, by one vote, Dick Allen was shut out of Hall of Fame; Richie Allen,
from Wampum, PA was a SI-cover-story a half-century ago, and he was [along with Johnny Callison]
perhaps the only bright-spot for a decade [even as he silently fought racism, in the shadow of Jackie
Robinson].
On Facebook, David Sommers has fascinating hyperlinks [Ping-Pong, B&W line-dance,
Animal-Trix and Zumba]; he also captured a rather off-color video of a video [for
which providing a direct hyperlink has been deferred. {Note, also this multi-guitar and
these dancing-reindeer.]
Muslims sued Bensalem to build mosque; Im told their initial petition was denied due to its potential to
create a traffic nightmare on the already-overburdened Hulmeville Rd., and that they have retained a
