Democrat women inject racism, gender bias over well-deserved criticism of Susan Rice

Susan Rice, said Breitbart News, has a "record of failure." (Photo: U.S. taxpayer funded image; U.S. Government)Democrats never own up to what they do and media don’t insist they change their ways because in the U.S., that party has control of most media. The hoopla over Susan Rice, President Barack Obama’s UN ambassador, is no exception.

Democrats are now crying foul because Rice is being criticized for making false statements on numerous Sunday talk shows after terrorists hit the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.

Obama, during the first presser he agreed to hold in more than 8 months, cautioned that Republicans wanted to “besmirch” Rice’s reputation.

It was way too late for Rice to earn a reputation, in my opinion.

Convict gets new hearing after judge agrees with remarks in confession

Commentary by Kay B. Day

Irfan Nawaz worked as a doctor at St. Luke's Hospital and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Nawaz was convicted of soliciting a child via computer and traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual acts. [Photo from Florida Dept. of Corrections]Courts are not known for their wisdom, and the case of Irfan Nawaz is a perfect example. Nawaz practiced as a board-certified internal medicine doctor at St. Luke’s Hospital and the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

Nawaz was convicted of soliciting a child via computer and traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual acts. The Florida Times Union said prosecutors played a tape of Nawaz’s confession during the sentencing phase of the trial. Nawaz made remarks during his confession that suggested his contempt for American women—“[I] was laughing at how stupid girls are in this country, and I thanked God I did not marry someone from this country.”

Florida GOP women’s president pegs Grayson’s ‘whore’ remark as ‘vulgar’

Commentary by Kay B. Day

The donkey has never been viewed by those who grew up in rural areas as having a large amount of intelligence when compared to, say, even a pig.Cindy Graves, president of the Florida Federation of Republican Women, held nothing back when she responded to Rep. Alan Grayson’s (D-Fla.) remarks about a female identified as former Clinton adviser Linda Robertson. Robertson is now a senior Federal Reserve adviser. Grayson, talking to radio talk show host Alex Jones, called the woman a ‘K Street whore.’ Grayson's outburst and the aftermath is like one of those situation comedies repeatedly relying on the same premise for laughs but changing little about the characters or plots.

Why Palin should head to the activist-pundit chair

Updated on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 12:40PM by Registered CommenterKay B. Day, Editor

Photo of Alaska governor Sarah Palin from Alaska governor website.Maybe I’m the only person in America who wasn’t surprised by Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s resignation. Anyone who has watched media brutalize the Palin family’s reputation should understand. Feeding the frenzy are frivolous accusations from Alaska politicos. The same thing happened to Hillary Clinton on her way to becoming the US Secretary of State. And to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice too. Only the geography was different.

I’ve often said the oldest bias in the world is bias against the female. It’s applied selectively in the States—female politicians are good targets—but it’s rampant abroad. Consider the number of countries around the world where a woman cannot serve as a head of state because of religious barriers or social barriers. I’ve often wondered if a woman might be better at running the UN, thereby running Africa, because all the men have failed. We call it ‘Mother Africa’ but there’s always a daddy on the throne. Why has there not been a female president in Russia, China or the US?

Pakistani doctor practicing in Jacksonville sought sex with teen girls

Updated on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 11:03AM by Registered CommenterKay B. Day, Editor

The arrest of a doctor from Pakistan who practiced at a prestigious facility in Jacksonville raises questions about the vetting process for doctors from some other countries.

Pakistan flag from CIA Factbook.(Jacksonville, Fla.)—When Dr. Irfan Nawaz, 32, was arrested in Minnesota, he had traveled to St. Cloud to meet a girl he believed was 15 years old. He planned to have sex with her. Nawaz admitted he’d chatted with girls online, and he told the judge during the trial in February that American girls were promiscuous and stupid. The Florida Times Union reported remarks from his confession to officials: " ‘The only thing that I was thinking was I was laughing at how stupid girls are in this country, and I thanked God I did not marry someone from this country,’ Nawaz, a native of Pakistan, says on one recording. He told Circuit Judge John Merrett on Friday he was sorry but said those things because they were true.” Nawaz was a board certified internal medicine doctor practicing at Mayo Clinic.

There's more to Palin than media's telling via 'tabloid blogs'

Governor Sarah Palin is joined onstage by state commissioners, members of the gasoline team, state lawmakers and representatives of TransCanada to celebrate the signing into law of HB 3001, which awards a license under AGIA to TransCanada for development of a natural gas pipeline.On the heels of Sen. John McCain’s historic move to add the Republican Party’s first female candidate for vice president to his ticket, well-connected left wing blog sites did exactly what they did to Sen. Hillary Clinton—they hit her below the belt. First there was Troopergate II, Troopergate I having dealt with a completely disgraced New York Democratic governor’s top aides.

Palin’s Troopergate, largely manufactured by media and a sore loser in my opinion, came about because she fired a public safety commissioner because he continued to employ a state trooper who, according to various media, tasered a teenager AND (drum roll, please), according to the Associated Press, “[h]as been reprimanded for violating nearly a dozen laws and departmental policies since December 2001.” And there’s more.
