| Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza yesterday appeared at a court in New York--and demanded the return of his notorious hooks. The hate preacher, who lost his hands in an explosion, did not enter a plea during the brief hearing and was remanded in custody ahead of his next appearance on Tuesday. The former imam at the Finsbury Park mosque, who had his hooks removed for 'security reasons', has demanded they are returned so 'he can use his arms'. Also in New York, Adel Abdul Bary and Khaled al-Fawwaz pleaded not guilty while earlier in the day Babar Ahmad and

Latest count on the "Best rated" - 7191 green arrows. Cameron is ecstatic that Hamza and the rest were extradited on his watch and Britons are absolutely delighted to get rid of him; looking at the "Newest" comments it's very obvious. Go click some arrows, you don't have to register!
Almost hilarious how the UK and US authorities were waiting with bated breath, not to mention Gulfstreams, and whisked them all out of the country before the EU's Human Rights cretins found another loophole. Finder's keepers!

He probably has seen the last of his hooks as USA law enforcement will consider them to be potential weapons. But you have to figure, in the era of Obama, that this guy will end up in much better shape, most likely with a couple of really high-tech prosthesis (hands) completely paid for by the American taxpayer.

Why is this guy in a New York courtroom and not 6' under the ground? Isn't there one man --or woman, on either side of the Atlantic with a brass pair? Just one Patriot?

So Obama will get his media frenzy and terrorist show trial in New York City at last.
It is hard to deny that Obama is a little strange on this subject.

A revanchist Russia ships arms to her allies. Iranian revolutionary guards arrive along the eastern Mediterranean seaboard. The world, it seems, can be a dangerous place. The escalating conflict in Syria is not merely a reminder of what nasty regimes can do. More ominously, it illustrates what can happen when America--still the world’s great power--sits back. Tyrants are emboldened. Regional bully boys, hemmed in by the international order, start to push and to probe. Perhaps it is just Barack Obama. [Snip] Are we ready for a world with less of the Pax Americana?

I wonder what it will take before the world truly wakes up to the horror, the corruption, the expense, the pointlessness, the total wrongness-in-every-way of the wind industry. My guess--and it will happen--is the decapitation, by a rogue turbine blade, of an innocent passer-by. Till then, though, we have photographs like this to send the mind boggling as to why anyone, anywhere can still be so purblind as to go on championing these bat-chomping, bird-slicing eco crucifixes. What´s particularly interesting about this one is that it was taken in the constituency of one of wind power´s most fervent and tireless

Every family in Britain could be £380 better off from a landmark trade deal between the United States and Europe. David Cameron hailed the ‘biggest bilateral trade deal in history’ at the launch of negotiations for an agreement which could be worth £100 billion to the European Union economy. In the first major announcement of the G8 summit in Northern Ireland, Mr Cameron and US President Barack Obama removed their ties to strike a casual look at the Lough Erne resort. Mr Cameron had been keen to use this week´s summit in start the formal talks to strike a deal

The Obama girls appeared to have perked up on their trip to Dublin as they pulled a series of wacky faces during a performance of Riverdance. Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, had looked less than enthralled earlier on Monday as they toured the historic Book of Kells with their mother at Trinity College in the capital. However the First Lady and her daughters were having a roaring good time as they sat among schoolchildren at Dublin´s Gaiety Theatre, pulling cross-eyed expressions as students surreptitiously snapped them with camera phones. The President, his wife and daughters touched down in Belfast amid

US President Barack Obama touched down in Belfast today amid the biggest security operation ever mounted in Northern Ireland. Air Force One arrived at Aldergrove International Airport, 20 miles north of the city, where the President emerged from the plane with his wife, Michelle, and two daughters, Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11. While Obama holds talks with other world leaders at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland, Michelle and their children are due to visit the Republic. This afternoon they will visit Dublin´s Trinity College to view the Book of Kells, a ninth Century gospel manuscript.

My colleague Boris Johnson has presented the most eloquent possible case for the Western world (as we used to call it) refraining from adding to the armoury that is now producing unfathomable horror in Syria. Pouring more lethal equipment into an already hideous scene of mass murder can surely make no moral or tactical sense, he argues. Prolonging and equipping a fight to the death between religious factions can help no one--least of all the blameless people of Syria who are caught in this hell. I take all of those points. And yet, and yet… What are those blameless people--who

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

In the latest black eye for the scandal-ridden State Department, a whistleblower claims she was run out of the foreign service after complaining about a consul general’s alleged office trysts with subordinates and hookers.Kerry Howard says she was bullied, harassed and forced to resign after she exposed US Consul General Donald Moore’s alleged security-threatening shenanigans in the Naples, Italy, office. As the post’s community-liaison officer, Howard was charged with keeping workplace peace and advising higher-ups on the state of morale, but when she revealed allegations about her boss, State Department officials swept it under the rug,

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Gang of Eight member Bob Menendez advised Republicans to accept legalization status for current illegal immigrants if they ever want to see another president from their party. “I would tell my Republican colleagues — both in the House and the Senate — that the road to the White House comes through a road with a pathway to legalization,” the New Jersey senator said on State of the Union this morning. “Without it, there’ll never be a road to the White House for the Republican party.” Menendez also warned of triggers on border security

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:
