Whatever Happen to Common Sense

File this under the category of You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me.

Former San Franciscoschool Superintendent Arlene Ackerman has filed for unemployment in Philadelphiaafter receiving a nearly $1 million payout to leave the same job there, according to CBS Philly.

She would be eligible for the maximum unemployment benefit of $573 per week, if her claim is approved.

ThePhiladelphiaschool board paid Ackerman $905,000 to buyout the remaining three years of her five-year contract, with $405,000 coming from private donations and the rest from the district. The agreement included a clause that allowed the ousted school’s chief to file for unemployment.

To refresh everyone’s memory, in 2006, Ackerman was also shown the door inSan Francisco, collecting $375,000 in severance pay to clear out of her office. She then briefly sued the district, claiming she was owed $172,000 more in unused benefits, a lawsuit she eventually dropped.

The Terrorist Muslim Brotherhood are Taking over Egypt

We come in peace
 
By: Jailan Zayan

November 30, 2011

Egypt’s powerful Muslim Brotherhood has claimed the lead in the first stage of the country’s first parliamentary elections since Hosni Mubarak’s fall.

The movement’s Freedom and Justice Party said initial results showed its coalition ahead, followed by parties belonging to the hardline Islamist Salafi movements, then a coalition of secular movements in third.

On Monday and Tuesday, millions filed into polling stations in the capitalCairoand second cityAlexandriaas Egyptians embraced new freedoms won by the toppling of autocrat Hosni Mubarak in February.

“The people have passed the democracy test,” headlined the independent newspaper Al-Shorouk on Tuesday, while the interim ruling military leaders expressed their “happiness” at proceedings.

“The election has been a huge success,” declared Ahmed Nashaat, a 29-year-old member of the leading Islamist party the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) as night fell inCairoat the end of the voting.

Turnout had been high, he said, security well controlled by the army and police, while there was “no vote rigging worth mentioning” – a stark contrast with the 30-year Mubarak era when abuses were widespread.

Analysts warned, however, that the country faced huge challenges ahead in its long, complicated and uncertain transition to democracy that is scheduled to finish only in June next year under the current timetable.

The vote on Monday and Tuesday inCairo,Alexandriaand other areas was the first of three stages of an election for a new lower house of parliament. The rest of the country follows next month and in January.

The FJP, the party of the formerly banned Muslim Brotherhood, a moderate Islamist group, is expected to emerge as the largest power in the new lower parliament when final results are published on January 13.

The backdrop to the vote had been ominous after a week of protests calling for the resignation of the interim military rulers who stepped in at the end of Mubarak’s rule. Forty-two people were killed and more than 3000 injured.

Egypt’s stock market closed up 5.48 per cent on Tuesday as investors welcomed the stability after weeks of falls caused by the political upheaval and unrest.

The successful first stage of the election was a boost for army leader Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who insisted voting should go ahead despite the unrest last week.

The army “played the election card to stabilise the country in the face of pressure from the street”, said Tewfik Aclimandos, an expert at the College de France, a leading academic institute.

Tantawi “expressed his happiness at the way the process was carried out and the high turnout, especially among women and the young”, said Ismail Etman, a member of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF).

Protesters last week had again occupiedTahrir SquareinCairo, the epicentre of protests against Mubarak, but this time they were calling for the resignation of Tantawi and his fellow generals.

The demonstrations stemmed from fears that the junta, initially welcomed as a source of stability after Mubarak’s fall, was looking to consolidate its power and was mishandling the transition period.

Figures for the turnout for Monday and Tuesday have not been officially given, but Etman from the SCAF estimated it could reach up to 70 per cent – unprecedented in the Mubarak era.

Once final results are published on January 13, the country will then head into another three rounds of voting to elect an upper house, in a process widely criticised for its complexity.

Muslim Terrorists want to kill the Infidel, and began World War III

We only kill none Muslims

 

New world war has begun, says new Jewish group head

By GIL SHEFLER

 “World War III has begun,” according to the newly elected president of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC) Vadim Shulman.

The affluent businessman who holds Israeli, Ukrainian and Russian citizenship was voted in unanimously to helm the Jewish advocacy group by its General Council in Jerusalem on Thursday.

During the meeting, a documentary he co-created called The Mosque of Notre Dame of Paris was screened.

The film shows images of 9/11, the Beslan school terror attack and Hamas militants spliced with interviews of commentators speaking alarmingly about the peril of radical Islam. One of the animations in the film shows the spires of the famous Notre Dame cathedral in Parisreplaced with minarets, another has a mosque built on the site of the former WorldTradeCenterin New York City.

“The European countries are shaken by radicalism – not Islam the religion – and it is distorting countries,” Shulman told the council via satellite afterward.

Shulman, who could not attend in person because he was observing the shiva mourning period for his mother, said the opening of Europe’s borders to immigrants resulted in it being forced to “abandon its traditions of thousands of years.”

Vladimir Sinelnikov, the documentary’s co-creator, also spoke about the dystopia depicted in the film.

“It was important that Shulman participate,” said Vladimir Sinelnikov. He was not only a pocket but a coauthor and his heart is aching what is happening in the world today.”

The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress is an affiliate of the World Jewish Congress. Billionaire Alexander Machkevitch, who officially stepped down earlier this month, founded the body 10 years ago.

After the meeting EAJC Secretary General Michael Chlenov distanced the organization from the movie screened at its council’s meeting.

“We should distinguish between the EAJC and the movie,” he said. “One is the work of the head and another of the heart. What was demonstrated is the latter.”

He added: “If you ask me, WWIII has not broken out, but the potential is there.”

Earlier in the day Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sent a letter welcoming members of the EAJC to Jerusalem.

“I’ve been impressed by the congress’s bolstering of Jewish identity among Jewish communities in Eastern Europe and Asia,” the Prime Minister’s Office said. “You’ve managed to tie these communities to Israel in a praise worthy manner.”

Shulman was unanimously elected by the delegates from the FSU. His only opposing candidate, Vladimir Herzberg, a retired physicist from Beersheba who has launched several unsuccessful bids to head the Jewish organizations, received no votes.

“To me, democracy is incompatible with money,” Herzberg told the council. “I didn’t pay anything to take part in these elections and even had I paid anything I wouldn’t get anything. If I were the best president I would do a better job.”

US Tax Dollars are paying Palestinian Terrorist

The Money is for Our People

Whatever Happen To Common Sense?

By: LAHAV HARKOV

Move follows MK Matalon letters to US House, Senate, detailing PA president’s policy to pay convicted terrorists released byIsrael.

 Florida Democratic Congressman Ted Deutsch and New York Democratic Congressman Steve Israel have asked US Comptroller-General Gene Dodaro to investigate the Palestinian Authority’s use of American funding.

The request this week came three weeks after MK Moshe Matalon (Israel Beiteinu) had sent a letter to the budget committees of the US Senate and House of Representatives, informing them of PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s policy of paying freed Palestinian prisoners who had been convicted of murder $5,000 and building them new homes.

Matalon received a copy of the congressmen’s letter on Thursday.

“Many of the released prisoners were convicted of orchestrating and carrying out Hamas-sponsored terrorist attacks in Israel, including the bombing of a Tel Aviv nightclub that killed 21 people, the attack on a Netanya hotel that killed 29 people, and the bombing of a Sbarro Pizzeria that killed 15 people,” Deutsch and Israel wrote.

The two congressmen explained to Dodaro that they “are troubled by reports of President Abbas’ use of Palestinian Investment Fund (PIF) funds to provide housing for these convicted terrorists.”

According to the letter, the US contributed to the PIF after PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad founded it in 2002 “under a framework of transparency and accountability.” However, recently there has been “ambiguity surrounding the amount of US taxpayer dollars contributed to the PIF,” Deutsch and Israel wrote.

Aside from the issue of Abbas building houses for convicted terrorists, Deutsch and Israel “are concerned about the increasing lack of transparency for the PIF as well as reports that Prime Minister Fayyad is no longer overseeing the fund and that Hamas has taken control of PIF assets in Gaza.”

The letter also requested that the US Government Accountability Office, which Dodaro heads, investigate whether US Economic Support Funds (ESF) given to the PA were used to fund Abbas’s trips around the world “on his misguided attempt to unilaterally declare statehood at the United Nations… efforts that are in direct contravention of US policy.”

The congressmen said US ESF should not be used “to fund Mr. Abbas’ extensive lobbying to achieve a Palestinian state by any means other than direct negotiations with Israel.”

They added that “the US must be unequivocally committed to ensuring that American taxpayer dollars are used to serve the interests of the US and our allies around the world.”

In his letter three weeks ago, Matalon had written that Abbas was rewarding “unrepentant terrorists.”

“At the ceremony Abbas held [in honor of released prisoners] in Ramallah, he is reported as having praised these individuals for their ‘courage and sacrifice,’” the Israel Beiteinu MK wrote. “The atrocities referred to by Abbas as acts of ‘courage’… include the murders of scores of innocents, including women and children.”

He continued: “I feel it incumbent upon myself to present these facts to you, as a fellow parliamentarian, not as interference in your parliamentary activities, but rather in order to ensure that the full facts are before you, as you deliberate on whether to continue extending financial assistance to the Palestinian Authority.”

Common Sense

Excerpt From Book: Whatever Happen To Common Sense?

By: Elmer Williams

We can bring back the lost art of thinking clearly by inviting common sense, that woman of virtue we were once familiar with, into our lives. Show her the kindness, adoration, and proper respect she once received. Romance Mrs. Common Sense and acknowledge her worth in our society. We will soon see a decrease in the crime rate and witness fewer broken homes and less unemployment. Common sense has such intrinsic worth when it is respected and loved. I implore you to invite this lovely lady back into your life,America, if you have not seen her in a while. See that she is sweet to the taste buds.

 

We must put our finger on the sore, so to speak. We must put our finger on political correctness. We must put our finger on tolerance and going along to get along. We must squeeze the contamination out.
