Why does Yahoo and other news sources titillate with headlines such as " 4 Palestinians shot dead in Israel in latest violence"?
It glorifies the terrorists. The 9-11 headlines would have read "11 Arabs killed in plane accidents in New York City" if they'd been skewed like these Palestinian headlines.
7 AnswersMedia & Journalism6 years agoSharpton et al wanted to waste taxpayer money on a trial?
Sharpton and a bunch of swaying, frowning black men just opined about how the DA should have manipulated evidence so the Grand Jury would have voted to indict. What are they so willing to waste taxpayer dollars on a doomed trial? Would they be as eager to spend taxpayer dollars if the funds diminished welfare payments?

In a special kind of stupid, the Palestinians in Gaza have now fired into Egypt killing a girl in her home and wounding her two siblings. If Egypt joins the fight to disarm Gaza, will the world have demonstrations like they do against Israel?

I want Canada to keep him, so we better win.
6 AnswersHockey7 years agoRV batteries dead; trickle charge or fast charge is better?
I can take the batteries in to get a charge in a day, but I've been told an RV has batteries that need a slow recharge/trickle charge.
8 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoHow can the President stop a tax law?
The President has said he'd delay the company fines for not insuring employees for a year. How can the Executive Branch make any changes to tax laws? Taxes are under the sole purview of the Legislative Branch: Congress. ObamaCare fines have been defined as taxes by the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court. So, how can a tax be changed by the President and who can enforce our national laws in the face of this Administration?
4 AnswersOther - Politics & Government8 years agoZimmerman's mother kept out of the courtroom?
Trayvon Martin's mother was allowed to sit in the courtroom even though she was going to testify. George Zimmerman's mother was kept out of the courtroom because she was going to testify. Why the discrimination?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoWas Rachel Jeantel lying today or in her deposition?
In the Zimmerman trial, Rachel Jeantel was contradicting her deposition statements right and left. She was speaking in Ebonics, to the point where the court reporter could not understand her words. She had no pertinent information for the D.A. right after the event, but a couple months later, after being approached by Mr Martin, she had more memories and made a deposition. Now, months later and after being prepped and groomed by the Martin attorneys, she all of a sudden has remembered several things differently than she testified to even a few months ago.
Memory fades with time. Do we believe her testimony from today or months back?
7 AnswersCurrent Events8 years agoRemove coolant and transmission stains from concrete?
I saw today my renters' cars have leaked coolant and transmission fluid on my concrete driveway. (I asked "what spilled?") How do I advise them, what should they use, to clean it up?
1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs8 years agoDo we want our streets to be as unsafe as England?
Since England disarmed their law-abiding citizens, violent crime has risen. Do the anti-gun people think it is preferable when criminals use a machete or meat cleaver to dismember an innocent man rather than a gun? Was it really better to have a man hacked up and stabbed to death rather than allow citizens the means to defend themselves? The governmment sure couldn't protect a man walking a public street in broad daylight, why outlaw the citizens' ability to protect themselves?
5 AnswersGovernment8 years agoWhy is President Obama snubbing the Knesset?
When President Clinton visited Israel, he spoke before the Knesset (Israeli Parliament). When President Carter visited Israel, he spoke before the Knesset. When Prime Minister Netanyahou visits Washington, DC, he speaks before our Congress, as do other visiting world leaders.
President Obama spoke before the Parliament of India, Australia, the UK, and Ghana. He has been invited to speak at Knesset, but refused the offer. Why the snub?
3 AnswersGovernment8 years agoCan we see some outrage over an Arab being killed by Arabs?
The Palestinian Authority is notorious for torturing Palestinian Arabs in jail. Where are the international condemnations and the United Nations hand-wringing?
5 AnswersCurrent Events8 years agoWhy are Obama supporters still upset about the election?
Obama did win the election. Yet, everyday I see questions about why did Romney think he could win, or why did educated people vote for Obama, or who thought Romney was going to win, etc. Was the election really so stimulating that these "uber-educated liberals" can't move past the event? They sure have moved past Benghazi at lightning speed.
4 AnswersElections8 years agoWhat is an assault gun?
We are hearing and talking about assault weapons, assault rifles, and assault guns as if the terms are interchangeable. Are they?
11 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police8 years agoIs Obama not agreeing to GOP plans because he wants the tax increases to cover ObamaCare taxes?
Fact: We are going to be hit with the beginning of ObamaCare taxes in 2013.
Scenario 1: We avoid the "fiscal cliff" with an agreement. Taxes go up and the public finds out they are paying for ObamaCare.
Scenario 2: We go over the "fiscal cliff". Taxes go up and the public believes it all to be because the political parties couldn't reach an agreement.
The Administration wants Scenario 2, right?
9 AnswersElections8 years agoHow can we force Mexico to release Jon Hammar?
He was planning on driving from the USA to Costa Rica. He had his grandfather's antique shotgun. He filled out the necessary forms in the USA border checkpoint, went across to the Mexico checkpoint with his paperwork and was arrested. He is being held in a prison, chained to his bed, beaten, his life threatened.
Our President is doing NOTHING. A few legislators are finally starting make some noise, but very little. This is a former US Marine who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He was there for us. What can we do for him?
