Video: Looks like we've found another Dhimmi Mayor

There is simply no way I can any longer accept that political leaders are ignorant of the intentions of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) specifically or the larger Muslim Brotherhood in general. We have long since reached the point where it's safe to say that such leaders are either corrupt or cowardly. The ignorant card has long been maxed out.

Even if the mayor of Brookfield, WI - Steven Ponto - is just ignorant, he's nefarious BECAUSE he's ignorant. In essence, he's defending the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and is betraying his oath for some reason other than honor.

RCP Map: Uh, the Republican Establishment better start re-thinking it's love affair with Mitt... FAST

This is very disheartening news for the 'Anybody but Obama' crowd. According to Real Clear Politics, Obama has a 57 point electoral vote advantage over Romney before you even get in to the 'Toss-Up' states. According to this map, Romney will lose Massachusetts and probably Michigan, his two 'home' states. In fact, the entire Northeast - save for New Hampshire - is seen going for Obama. If the electoral votes fall the way RCP is predicting, Obama would only have to secure 43 of 141 of the 'Toss-Up' votes to get to the needed 270.

In short, this map shows an overwhelming advantage for Obama - and his party is the one known for perpetrating the most fraud.

If this map portends a future reality, the good news is that it might be the death knell for the Republican Establishment. The bad news is that it could be the death knell for the United States too (just remember Obama's open mic moment with Dimitri Medvedev). In writing about the prospects of a Romney loss to Obama, I took a 'glass is half full' approach last month but in light of how untethered an extremely radical Obama would be in a second term, that's not an ironclad solution. More at RCP.

Fourth look at Newt anyone?

Christian Science Monitor Validates Shoebat's take on Egyptian elections

Earlier this month, Walid Shoebat and I reported on the eligibility issues that seemed destined to mire the presidential election process in Egypt. We reported that Muslim Brotherhood candidate, Khairat al-Shater and Salafist candidate Hazem Salah Abu Ismail were both ineligible according to the letter of the law. Al-Shater was ineligible because of his multiple imprisonments and Ismail because his mother was a United States citizen. The Christian Science Monitor is now validating those claims.

Via CSM:

Hazem Salah Abu Ismail, the Salafi, was disqualified because his mother held US citizenship, the state news agency reported, confirming previous reports fiercely denied by the Islamist, who says he is the victim of a plot.

Abu Ismail's lawyer, Nizar Ghorab, told Reuters he expected "a major crisis" in the next few hours.

The Muslim Brotherhood's Khairat al-Shater was also among those disqualified on Saturday. His spokesman said he would challenge the decision.

Omar Suleiman, Mubarak's intelligence chief and vice president in his last days in power, would also appeal, his spokesman said.

The elimination of three of the top candidates in what is being billed a Egypt's first real presidential vote would redraw the electoral map just a few weeks before the vote gets under way in May. The election is expected to go to a June runoff between the top two candidates.

There had been talk that Ismail might run as al-Shater's running mate, a move not prohibited by the citizenship of Ismail's mother. Shoebat informed me that such a ticket would be very formidable against  former Mubarak Egyptian foreign minister under Mubarak and former Muslim Brotherhood leader Abdul Moneim Abol Fotouh.

In what could be a case of Kabuki theater, Fotouh was expelled from the Muslim Brotherhood last year for announcing his intention to run for the presidency. Despite this, top Brotherhood scholar - Yusuf al-Qaradawi - has endorsed Fotouh. How convenient. The Brotherhood pledged not to run a candidate but the top Muslim Brotherhood guy has endorsed a former Brotherhood member.

Other front-runners include Amr Moussa, a former Arab League secretary-general and Egyptian foreign minister, and Abdul Moneim Abol Fotouh, who was expelled from the Brotherhood last year when he decided to mount his own presidential campaign.

Abu Ismail is the most hard-line of the Islamists running for the post. On Friday, his supporters besieged the headquarters of the election commission, forcing it to evacuate the premises and suspend its work. The building was guarded by security forces with riot shields.

If Ismail running as al-Shater's VP choice made that ticket much stronger, the absence of both men would likely make Fotouh more stronger against amr Moussa.

Additionally, these new developments seem to point to Qaradawi practicing Muruna.
