LOU REED.

Lewis Allan Reed was born in Brooklyn, NY into a middle-class Jewish family, had relations in Israel and visited the country a handful of times over the last two decades. In 2010, Reed made a short film called "Red Shirley" which was about his 99-year-old aunt Shirley Novick and her experiences fleeing Poland and the Nazis during World War II. She arrived in New York, found work as a seamstress and much later she would march in Washington in support of the civil rights movement. “I realized if I didn’t do this, a connection to a lot of things would be lost forever,” Reed told The Wall Street Journal in 2011. 
If you've got a track or two, play it LOUD!

CHARLIE PARKER...

“Bird was kind of like the sun, giving off the energy we drew from him,” Max Roach said of the alto saxophonist Charlie Parker. The sun set early for Parker, who died at thirty-four of pneumonia on March 12, 1955. He spent his last few days in a suite at the Stanhope Hotel, NYC owned by the Baronness Nica de Koenigswarter, a Rothschild heiress who was well known for her patronage of jazz musicians.

CALIPHATE BY NUMBERS...

If Al Qaeda and the rest of the Alluhu Akbar psychos didn't have their brains in their ass, they'd have come to realize that if they just sit in their caves for another 50 years, they will get their wish of Caliphate. How come? Because demographers are forecasting a Muslim majority in Russia by 2050, while Europe’s Muslim population is projected to hit 58 million by 2030. By 2050, the United Kingdom and France will have majority Muslim populations if current birth rates as well as immigration and welfare policies continue. 

TRUST ME: I'M A SAUDI CLERIC!

Saudi Arabia has the field to itself, being about the only country in the world where women are barred from just about everything including driving, but the issue is not to be treated frivolously or with sarcasm. Saudi cleric Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Lohaidan - located somewhere in the 7th century - said: “If a woman drives a car, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological medical studies show". He was explaining this theory to his fellow clerics, who like the Sheikh, have about as much cred in the medical department as the flat earth society have at NASA.

ALL I WANT FOR XMAS...

A senior Iranian negotiator was very upbeat on Monday about the chances of progress in the latest round of talks. With good reason, Team Iran is super confident about the eventual outcome of these "negotiations"; the West being political simpletons who will swallow any swill that the not-so-mad Mullah Men dish out. An Iranian nuke built and wrapped up by Xmas? Well Obama won't stop 'em cookin' a nuke, so I guess it will be left for Israel to be the Tehran party pooper. (Image: Copyright Control)

RETAIL THERAPY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS...

"During the four-day siege in Kenya's Westgate shopping Mall, Islam's al-Shabaab Jihadists raped, tortured, beheaded, dismembered, castrated, gouged out eyes, amputated fingers and hung hostages on hooks from the roof.”  
Meanwhile, the suit wearing front groups for the barbarians of Radical Islam around the world, loudly condemn ANY criticism of Islam, calling it “offensive.” The denial factory, aka the liberal western media and way too many so called political leaders - including Obama - keep insisting that terrorism has nothing to do with jihad. If you've had enough of their “see no evil, hear no evil” then get involved!
