VIDEO: BECK POINTS FINGER AT SAUDI PRINCE

I really don't know what to think of this. On one hand, It was refreshing to see Glenn Beck start to identify the Islamic enemies of the United States. On the other hand, I'm still trying to sift through the inconsistency. While illustrating the point that Israel has a right to be skittish when flotillas of thugs bent on destroying them get close, Beck compared the reason for Israel's blockade with the same thing that caused Rudy Giuliani to turn down a check from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after 9/11.

It's an extremely fair point and a legitimate comparison. The only problem is that bin Talal is the second largest shareholder of the parent company of Fox News, which is who Beck works for. If Beck wants to use his platform to expose Talal, I guess that might be considered a greater good but if he doesn't, there might be a degree of perceived hypocrisy as Beck takes money from the same company that does business with the same Saudi prince he exposed as - at least mildly - someone who sanctioned 9/11.

TEXAS: ANOTHER MAN TIED TO AL-AWLAKI

Fort Hood gunman Nidal Malik Hasan's religiously inspired shooting spree last year led to revelations that he had contact with al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki via email on multiple occasions. The cleric also had ties to the 9/11 hijackers as well as the would be Christmas Day bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab and failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad. Now we learn that another Texas man communicated via email with al-Awlaki and has been indicted in Houston.

Via Main Justice:

Another U.S. citizen who communicated with al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki has been charged in federal court, the Justice Department said Thursday.

A federal grand jury in Houston indicted Barry Walter Bujol Jr., 29, for attempting to provide material support to an affiliate of al-Qaeda known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Bujol also was charged with aggravated identity theft, according to the Justice Department.

Bujol was arrested on May 30 after he boarded a ship at a port in the Houston area prepared to travel overseas to fight jihad, the Justice Department said.

Bujol, of Hempstead, Texas, first came under investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force in 2008, according to a DOJ news release.

The Denver Post reported back in December that an arrest warrant was issued for al-Awlaki on charges relating to passport fraud. He was allowed out of the country in 2002 after being briefly detained at JFK airport because the arrest warrant had been inexplicably withdrawn.

VIDEO: CHRIS CHRISTIE DELIVERS ALINSKY ANTI-SERUM

Not only does New Jersey Governor Chris Christie trump his earlier performance but he utterly shames his predecessors as being nothing short of cowards. In this clip, Christie outlines the only formula for defeating Community Organisms and Unions - standing up to them. When you see leaders like Christie and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer reach this level of being completely fed up, there is no turning back. In both cases, each has seemingly reached a point of no return. I could be wrong but I don't think so.

Watch as Christi stands up to the bully that is the Teachers Union. He even uses the perfect playground metaphor to do it. There are some very uncomfortable union leaders in New Jersey right now. Also take note of how this kind of truth almost rubs raw the sores of discontent - it's Alinsky anti-serum.
