Tunisia Announces New Constitution Rejecting Israel With $20 Million Support From Obama Administration

US gives $20 million to support Tunisian democracy

On Tuesday March 22, 2011, 11:58 am EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration says it is providing $20 million to support the democratic transition in Tunisia following a popular uprising that ousted the North African country's longtime autocratic leader in January and emboldened anti-government protesters across the Middle East.

The State Department announced Tuesday that the money will go to help draft a new constitution, strengthen political parties and non-partisan civic groups, develop a framework for free and fair elections, create a professional and independent news media and encourage economic reforms. Tunisia's revolt was a catalyst for the unrest that is now sweeping the Arab world. The U.S. is concerned that the revolutions may be hijacked by extremists or anti-democratic forces.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton visited Tunisia last week to pledge U.S. backing for democratic change.

TUNISIA: PACT THAT BANS NORMALISATION WITH ISRAEL ADOPTED 

(ANSAmed) - TUNISIA, JULY 1 - Today Tunisia's commission of political reform announced that it adopted (by majority) a ''republican pact'' that will be the basis of the future new Constitution, and in particular it states the rejection of any normalisation with Israel.

While announcing the pact the president of the commission, Yadh Ben Achour, did not offer any details, but the Arab speaking Tunisian press published its content, which defines Tunisia as a free and democratic country, whose official language is Arab and whose religion is Islam.

The pact, that will serve as the basis of the future Constitution, categorically rejects ''any form of normalisation with the Zionist State'', and supports the Palestinian cause.(ANSAmed).

  ***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***

So let me make sure I have this right.  The Obama administration, with the assistance of Hillary Clinton, gave $20 Million of our tax dollars (that we borrowed from China) to Tunisia, an Islamic Arab Country, so they could draft a "New Constitution" that rejects Israel and aligns itself with the Palestinians.

I have to say, I don't know how anyone that truly calls themselves a Jew would EVER be able to  put their support behind a Democratic candidate ever again.  It is increasingly clear, this is not the Democratic Party of our parents. These are radical, Anti-Semitic, Pro-Islam Communists that have taken over the Democratic Party.

Understanding the History of Israel



This semester’s Beck University will be unlike anything you have ever seen. Inspired by the content of the first and second installment of Rumors of War, this semester will delve deeper into the history and current happenings in and around the Middle East.


We spent a full year researching the 12th Imam, the Iranian regime’s continued development of nuclear weapons, and their desire to wipe Israel right off the map. We gathered so much information we couldn’t fit it all into the two documentaries. It’s so important we educate ourselves on this topic we’ve decided to share everything we have with you at Beck University. Our first class – Understanding the History of Israel.


It’s a 30 minute comprehensive guide to the religious and political importance of Israel. It takes you from the days of early Abraham through the Camp David Accords in the 1990s. It also shows the historic importance of Jerusalem to the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions – and explains why it must remain in Israeli control to preserve some of the holiest sites in the world.


Understanding the History of Israel is now available on-demand this for Insider Extreme members ONLY. If you’re not a member yet – now is the time to sign up.

US Congressman, Jeff Landry Presides Over House, Blocks Recess Appointments

 WASHINGTON, DC – Continuing his efforts to prevent President Obama from making another recess appointment, Congressman Jeff Landry (R, LA-03) today presided over a pro forma session in the United States House of Representatives. After his service as Speaker Pro Tempore, Congressman Landry released the following statement:

"This morning - under the instruction of Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, and Whip McCarthy - I presided over a pro forma session in the United States House of Representatives, preventing Congress from going into recess and blocking President Obama from issuing recess appointments.

Let me begin by saying that under normal circumstances, the House of Representatives should not involve itself nomination fights. The Founding Fathers clearly intended the Senate to handle the nominees through a vetting process. However, when liberal lobbyists, unions, and community organizers direct the White House to subvert the will of the Senate, extraordinary steps must be taken to return transparency to our government and sanity to our political appointees.

Recess appointments are intended to maintain the continuity of our government during periods when the Senate is not in session. They are for situations when nominees cannot be considered or confirmed, not for political expediency. This isn’t 1852; Congress isn’t out of session for 4 months at a time; it doesn’t take a week for members to come back to Washington.

The last recess appointment President Obama made was Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. Becker’s nomination was rejected by the Senate. He is a man who argues that employers should have no say in union formations and who ruled that a private company could not relocate to a non-union state.

It is widely anticipated that the President will use a recess appointment to name Elizabeth Warren the head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, soon-to-be one of the most powerful positions in the Federal government. This is very troubling considering Warren wants the government to approve every credit transaction that citizens enter into. If President Obama really wants to fill a position, he should make his nomination and send it to the Senate.

The American people sent a loud message last November that America needs to end Washington practices that are fundamentally wrong. They elected a strong group of conservative freshmen to return accountability to the American people. And they sent us to end the status quo in Washington. So to those who will argue that past presidents have also made recess appointments, I say the fact that Administrations have long abused the recess appointment process doesn’t make it right.

That is why patriots like Representatives Tom Marino, Ben Quayle, Allen West, and 73 other freshmen have joined my efforts to hit the “kill switch” – a provision the Founding Fathers gave the House to utilize when the Senate’s advice and consent is being circumvented by a hostile Administration. This kill switch comes in the form of adjournment resolutions.

Under Article 1, Section 5 of the Constitution, the House of Representatives can prevent the Senate from recessing by withholding its consent. Simply put: we do so by voting down, or not considering, a Senate adjournment resolution. And when we do so, we block the Administration’s ability to make recess appointments.

My actions today are just the beginning. Representative Jeff Duncan will be in Washington on Tuesday, leaving his home district to ensure Congress stays in session. And Republican leaders will be here to ensure Congress does not recess for the rest of President Obama’s term.

I applaud Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, and Whip McCarthy for their leadership and for their commitment to a transparent government - a government that belongs to We the People. I thank them for listening to our freshman coalition and taking the appropriate steps necessary to block President Obama from making recess appointments."

Recently, Congressman Landry led a coalition of 77 freshmen in a letter to House leadership requesting all appropriate measures be taken to prevent any recess appointment by the President for the remainder of the 112thCongress.
