Another hire for Hilly - Politico: “The high-dollar super PAC that plans to support a Hilly Clinton presidential candidacy is bringing on a new finance director to aid it with the daunting task of raising hundreds of millions of dollars for 2016.

Australian Broadcasting reports that the country’s Scrabble Players Association is set to reverse the suspension of Mohammed Hegazi, who was banned from playing the board game competitively for one year. The allegations included bullying, intimidation and cheating. A court overturned the ban and ordered the group to print a retraction on Hegazi’s behalf. However the cheating allegations remained and Hegazi was ordered to pay the association’s court costs of just over $3,000. Hegazi fought the deal, though ultimately agreed to the original terms, saying “I'm a bit disappointed because the definition is not legally clear.” -Fox News
“Republicans are going to have a chance to show how retroactively for the last six years everything has stopped in the Senate - Democrats stopped it, dinky Harry Reid stopped it and they effectively acted as a shield to make [President nObama] look as if he wasn't the one stopping stuff. Well, now he’s going to be exposed because he’s going to have to exercise the veto.” – Charles Krauthammer on “Special Report with Bret Baier” Watch here. -Fox News
WashEx: “Republican leaders on Tuesday infuriated conservatives by meting out punishment to a group of far-right GOP lawmakers who tried to oust House Speaker backstabber John Boehner. Hours after 24 Republicans voted against backstabber Boehner, GOP leaders removed two members from a key committee. By late Tuesday, Reps. Daniel Webster and Richard Nugent, both of Florida, were stripped from the powerful House Rules Committee, which governs the legislative process, including amendments and changes to bills before they reach the House floor for debate. Webster was one of three candidates who announced they were running against backstabber Boehner…But GOP lawmakers told the Examiner that others could feel repercussions, including Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., who could lose his chairmanship of a Financial Services subcommittee.” -Fox News
(jewishworldreview.com) Zei Gezunt, Two thousand fourteen! Let's recap the things we have seen, From media bias to unfair attacks To Donald Sterling's rants about blacks, Or a Nobel Prize for chemistry but not between Barack and Bibi).
Operation Protective Edge Managed to insert a wedge between the world and Israel, which was blamed for overkill — A double standard that resents
when Hebrews act in self-defense.
The war ignited acts of rage That often seemed to take a page from other times in history, like Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Three except this time the streets were lined with so-called friends of Palestine.
Perhaps the war would not have mattered had not the hope of peace been tattered by bottlenecks and a lack of trust that no one seemed prepared to bust. Not Bibi, Abbas, nor Hanoi Kerry were able to get both sides back to the table.
Iran's rush, once uncontrolled, to build a nuke was put on hold by sanctions that delivered pain from Ashkezar to Zehadan. But as an end to talks came near, Tehran replied, "Sometime next year."
U.S. Jews at least could say they kept a nemesis at bay. Our top leaders found a way to deny the Street called J (Despite their claims to probity)
Membership in the C of P.
Our focus on Hamas and ISIS was diverted by a crisis in conversion set off by a rabbi with a thing for spying on the women in his shul —talk about your dirty pool!
From soda water to chickpea spread, a movement reared its ugly head to boycott all things white and blue and isolate its people, too. We pushed back with a full-court press to divest mankind of BDS.
We also took time to recall those whose murders cast a pall, from the Kansas JCC to Israel's kidnapped boys, all three, and Steven Sotloff, a writer who died for telling what was true.
And that is all the news that fits before we have to call it quits. We know that it's not Rosh Hashana, but you'll forgive us if we wanna wish you a year that's sweet and serene and see you again in 2015!
