MSNBC apologizes for smearing conservatives as racists
MSNBC took the coward’s way out and deleted the incredibly offensive Twitter message that touched off an online firestorm, but Twitchy preserved it for posterity. Leave it to MSNBC to turn this into a vicious and hateful attack on the “rightwing.” That’s what they do.

Yawning over the Latest Headline News from the Middle East
The Middle East does offer some signs of hope, such as the inspiring example of Israel, the metaphorical “villa in the jungle“; the bracing prospect of Islamists falling into disarray; and the emergence of an independent Kurdistan.

Did Obama Plagiarize Bush’s 2007 State Of The Union?
It turns out that, not only were portions of the speech probably written five years ago, but other parts—some of those with the Republican tinge—were written closer to seven years ago, for Bush’s 2007 State of the Union.

The Sumerian King List still puzzles historians after more than a century of research
What makes this artefact so unique is the fact that the list blends apparently mythical pre-dynastic rulers with historical rulers who are known to have existed. It lists rulers from the antediluvian (“before the flood”) dynasties to the fourteenth ruler of the Isin dynasty (ca. 1763–1753 BC)

Chris Grayling launches court battle over EU rights charter
Mr Grayling wants to reverse human rights legislation and is drawing up sweeping plans for reform, which could include Britain withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights entirely. However, senior judges have ruled in a series of recent cases that a separate EU “charter” of 54 “fundamental rights” has taken hold in Britain by stealth, and can trump the laws made by MPs.

Beware of the Disney Channel
Disney has decided it is “relevant” to introduce the two lesbian women to the show to force-feed their view of “inclusiveness and diversity.” Thus, it is quite clear to me that Disney no longer wants my granddaughters to view their channel with Good Luck Charlie — or any other show. If they feel it is their responsibility to force-feed that trash and perversion down my throat in their shows, then my only recourse is to boycott all Disney programming. No more movies. No more television channel.

Knesset member implies Kerry guided by anti-Semitism
“The prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) is maneuvering under the obsessive and unprofessional pressures that might also bear an undertone of anti-Semitism on Kerry’s part,” MK Moti Yogev told Israel Radio. “He has an anti-Israel foundation in that he does not come to compromise, but instead comes with unequivocal answers about shrinking the Land of Israel and establishing a Palestinian state,”

Russia to Float Out Stealth Sub for Black Sea Fleet in May
A St. Petersburg shipyard said Wednesday it will float out in May the second of six Varshavyanka-class diesel-electric submarines to be delivered to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in the next two years. The much anticipated delivery of the submarines, dubbed “black holes in the ocean” by the US Navy because they are nearly undetectable when submerged, is a key part of Russia’s naval strategy in the Mediterranean,

Large Magma Chamber Sits Below World’s Most Active Volcano
The new discovery is the first geophysical observation that large magma chambers exist in the deeper parts of Kilauea. For the study, the team analyzed the seismic waves that travel through the volcano. This methodology allowed them to look at the internal structure of the volcanic system, leading them to find the chamber about 5 to 6.8 miles below the Earth’s surface.

IAF chief: Israel will destroy Hezbollah bases in Lebanon, even ones in residential areas
Israel accused Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas on Wednesday of putting "thousands" of bases in residential buildings and said it would destroy these in a future conflict, even at the cost of civilian lives. The unusually explicit threat by air force chief Major-General Amir Eshel appeared to be part of an effort by Israeli officials to prepare world opinion for high civilian casualties in any new confrontation with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
