CAIR

It seems that the Council for Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) 1 has been protesting too loudly about being an unindicted co-conspirator of another organization that was found guilty of funneling funds to the HAMAS terror organization.

The US Department of Justice has issued an opinion to a member of Congress regarding the CAIR-HAMAS link, which sums up the problem that CAIR has. According to the DOJ:

“Enclosed are … trial transcripts … contain testimony and other evidence … which demonstrated a relationship among CAIR, individual CAIR founders, and the Palestine Committee. Evidence was also introduced that demonstrated a relationship between the Palestine Committee and HAMAS.” 2

On the other hand, CAIR might not need to protest about being an unindicted co-conspirator for much longer, as according to some reports there is a federal grand jury investigation into the matter.3

Borrowing of course. And this is what our presidents are now reduced to doing to keep the money flowing…

It wouldn’t at all be surprising if matters such as Chinese human rights violations will no longer be brought up by American presidents.
Or that American aerospace companies will share key missile technology with China.
Or that Israel will again be on its own to be thrown under the bus in the Middle East.
Or that Iranian nukes will get much less lip time from the White House.

… that’s the cost of bailouts, socialized medicine, and government takeovers of private industries.
