Anthony Weiner proposed a threesome with texting pal Traci Nobles and a man, according to a new report. The Queens Democrat made the suggestion in the midst of his texting and tweeting adventures that eventually forced him to resign his congressional seat in June, RadarOnline.com reported today. The revelation came from conversation excerpts that Radar obtained from Nobles' proposal for a tell-all book. After proposing a threesome, Weiner told Nobles, "I'm not really talking about other chicks... How about with another guy?" "It can be hot," Weiner replies. "Hmmmm, haven't done it before," Nobles said.

Now that Americans and Israelis may have finished arguing about the campaign to bring emigrants back home, they are in full tilt about comments made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. At a "closed" but thoroughly leaked meeting of Israeli and Americans concerned with public affairs, she expressed deep concern over what she termed a wave of anti-democratic legislation, and Israeli treatment of women. She is said to have taken special aim at a Knesset bill meant to limit overseas donations to human rights organizations. She is also shocked by the fact that some Jerusalem buses have separate seating areas...

Anthony Weiner accused his Muslim parents-in-law of being 'backwards thinking' and never accepting him because of his Jewish background, it was revealed today. Newly released messages from the disgraced former congressman's text conversations, obtained exclusively by MailOnline, show how Weiner had explicit exchanges with women comparing them to his wife. The devastating new allegations will put added strain on his marriage to Huma Abedin, who is due to give birth to their first child in the New Year. The messages are contained in a new book written by one of the women at the centre of the 'sexting' scandal, which...

Anthony Weiner's wife is taking time off from her senior job with the State Department -- as well as time off from the randy former representative, The Post has learned. While Weiner, 46, heads to an "intensive" rehab program to recover from the sexting scandal that cost him his congressional career, his 35-year-old spouse, Huma Abedin, will be relaxing at an undisclosed location. "She is definitely taking time off away from her husband and chilling," a source said. "And he's going some place for at least a couple of weeks."

A CIA/FBI agent was responsible for creating the first Al-Qaeda training manual from classified military sources; he covertly moved up through the ranks undetected until the Al-Qaeda spy, Egyptian born Ali Mohamed, was finally discovered. Though arrested in 1998, Mohamed's whereabouts and legal status remain unknown. Fort Hood Jihadist, Nidal Malik Hasan benefited from the same faulty screening. Jordanian born “reformed” Jihadist Humam Al-Balawi deceived some anxious CIA agents concerning the whereabouts of Ayman Al-Zawahiri. As he passed their guard he detonated a suicide belt, killing the agents. We were the first to translate the sinister plan of this Taliban...

Andrea Doucet reviews the research on whether women should ‘go ugly,’ and draws a different set of conclusions than Vicky Larson.I’m not an expert on beautiful women and “hot or not” men. And I don’t have much interest in the question Vicky Larson explored in The Huffington Post, which is, “how a smart, accomplished, beautiful woman like Huma Abedin got herself involved with a guy like Weiner.”Yet the wide interest in this story made me take a second look; at last glance over 18,000 people seem to have “liked� it and even Whoopi Goldberg opened a discussion of it on...

In a front page story about a major FBI terrorism investigation, The Washington Post has reported that the targets include “Chicagoans who crossed paths with Obama when he was a young state senator and some who have been active in labor unions that supported his political rise.” The implication is that the trail could lead to the White House. This is an unusual investigation that does not primarily involve Islamists. Instead, it is focused on elements of the old international communist networks that many people mistakenly thought had faded away with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Those under investigation...

When Anthony Weiner resigned few observers over 12 years old believed he was doing so because it was "the right thing to do" as taught to him by his typical liberal Democrat parents. Liberal Democrats are not hard wired to do things for any greater good save for that of the Democrat Party. Those who watched his "pro forma" apology and resignation last week suspected there was more to the story and he was falling on his sword to hide something. That something now seems to be emerging and it is more hideous and alarming than we could have imagined:...

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad. Frontpage: Robert Spencer, welcome to Frontpage Interview. I would like to talk to you today about Anthony Weiner’s marriage to his Muslim Brotherhood wife, Huma Abedin. How is it exactly that a Muslim woman connected to the Muslim Brotherhood is married to a Jewish man? Something is not fitting here, right? Spencer: Jamie, Islamic law prohibits a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim man. A...

Far more disturbing than the salacious details of Weiner's dalliances is the fact that apparently his mother-in-law is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, Huma Abedin's brother, Hassan, "is listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members." Hassan works at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, well-known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, is active in establishing links with OCIS. How is it that the Western media, with its hourly analyses of Weiner, missed this salient point, yet Arab news sources revealed this connection?...

Was Huma Abedin — wife of Anthony Weiner and deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton — unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Did Western media miss what has been revealed in several Arab newspapers and left secret in American government circles? Al-Liwa Al-Arabi (translated here) claims to have leaked an extensive list, partially published by Al-Jazeera and several other major Arab newspapers, that includes Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, in the Brotherhood’s secret women’s division — known as the Muslim Sisterhood or International Women’s Organization (IWO).

Abedin is also the wife of Congressman Anthony Weiner. Abedin's mother Saleha is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and her brother is the Head of Development for an organization filled with Brotherhood members! Was Mrs. Weiner (Huma Abedin), the Deputy Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Did western media miss what has been REVEALED in several Arab newspapers,...

Latest news, as we know it. Weiner will compound his stupidity by holding a press conference in NYC at 2PM today to announce his resignation. Wife Huma returned yesterday from her trip abroad with her boss, Hillary Clinton. We don't know if they actually saw each other, or if they spoke on the phone, or maybe even texted or Tweeted each other..we don't know where she is. So, the BIG question is..will she attend the presser today?

SOMEWHERE between Abu Dhabi and Lusaka, the US's most powerful diplomat sat down with her closest aide last week and talked of straying husbands, predatory women and internet sex. It was not quite what Hillary Clinton had intended when she set off on her latest tour as US Secretary of State; yet it is hard to think of anyone in Washington better equipped to offer advice on the painful fallout from a sexual scandal. For once, the shenanigans had not involved Clinton's husband, Bill. Yet the saga of congressman Anthony Weiner's penis and how its picture turned up in cyberspace...

Their marriage has become the subject of intense speculation and scrutiny amid an embarrassing online sex scandal. Now, Representative Anthony D. Weiner and Huma Abedin are about to make news of a different kind: they are expecting their first child. Mr. Abedin, 35, is in the early stages of pregnancy, according to three people with knowledge of the situation. The pregnancy, which the couple has disclosed to close friends and family, adds a new dimension to questions about the future of their marriage.

New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner maintained Thursday that he does not plan to resign his seat, despite growing calls from members of his own party for the seven-term congressman to step down in the wake of his admission that he conducted inappropriate online communications with at least six women. “I’m not,” Weiner told a reporter for the New York Post on Thursday when asked if he planned to resign. “I’m going to get back to work as best I can.” Weiner said that he is working on making amends with his wife, senior State Department aide Huma Abedin, who...

Is it time to ask the questions no one dares ask? Every detective since Sherlock Holmes knew that when all logical explanations have been examined and discarded, it's time to reexamine the "illogical" and even "impossible' explanations. Let's look at what we know as fact. Ms. Huma Abedin (AKA Ms Anthony Weiner) is the daughter of two prominent Muslims. Her mother even published a newspaper in London telling Muslim women how to be subservient to their husbands, follow the restrictive dictates of the Koran, and still have a "meaningful" life. As a young staffer, Ms Abedin, who lived in the...

Is anyone else as sick of the constant media drumbeat that Anthony Weiner's stickfigure wife, Huma Abedin, is beautiful? She's flat out homely, but the MSM seems desperate to convince us that she is a ravishing beauty. I haven't posted a vanity in years, but this is reminiscent of those who claim that Lady Gaga can sing!

Embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner might be worried about the state of his marriage -- but his wife isn't. Huma Abedin -- the deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton -- isn't fretting over the crotch shot sent to a comely co-ed from her husband's lively Twitter account, a close friend said. "She's not worried about infidelity," said her friend. "She's confident and comfortable in her marriage."

EXCERPT Kramer tried to get an interview with the six-term New York Democrat and as a result had the cops called on her. Kramer walked in to Weiner’s office, announced herself as being from CBS 2 in New York City and said she’d like to see the congressman. Those few words created quite the stir. Doors slammed and people pretended she wasn’t there. Finally, brave press secretary David Arnold arrived. The following is the exchange Kramer had with him: Kramer: “All I want is for him to say something to his constituents, the people who have to vote for him.”...

MANHATTAN — Rep. Anthony Weiner continues to insist that it must have been a hacker who sent a lewd crotch shot of a bulge in boxer shorts from the congressman's Twitter account. "Anthony's accounts were obviously hacked," the Queens and Brooklyn congressman's spokesman told the Associated Press. "He doesn't know the person named by the hacker, and we will be consulting on what steps to take next." The photo went viral after being posted on Saturday night by BigGovernment.com, a site run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart, which said the image was tweeted to a Seattle woman. The college student...

Weiner seeks $692 Social Security hikeby Lisa A. Fraser, Chronicle Contributor 10/21/2010 Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn and Queens) last Friday announced a new plan calling for an emergency 5 percent cost of living adjustment for Social Security recipients. His effort comes on the heels of the Social Security Administration’s announcement that benefits will remain flat for a second year in a row due to low inflation. Weiner announced the proposal during a visit to the Queens Community House in Forest Hills. Joined by City Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills), he talked briefly with the seniors there, assuring them that their...

Why was my posting pointing out Huma's married name pulled?

Bill Clinton is not giving away his daughter Chelsea’s hand in marriage for another three weeks. But he is going to get a little practice at the altar on Saturday, when he officiates at the wedding of Representative Anthony D. Weiner and Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. The ceremony will be at Oheka Castle in Huntington, N.Y., in the early evening. Matt McKenna, a Clinton spokesman, told The Associated Press that Mr. Clinton would conduct the ceremony and was authorized to do so, but did not elaborate. Aides to Mr. Weiner, who represents...

Hillary Clinton Tells Israel To Stop 'Settlement Activity' and Provoking Palestine Hillary Clinton has said Israel must stop 'settlement activity' and steer clear of comments that will provoke Palestinians. By Our Foreign Staff 16 Apr 2010 The US Secretary of State urged "bold leadership" from all sides to resolve one of the world's most intractable disputes. Speaking at a dinner attended by the ambassadors of Israel and several Arab states, Mrs Clinton urged Israel to "refrain from unilateral statements and actions" that could undermine peace. "Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu has embraced the vision of the two-state solution," she said. "But...

From the Weekly Standard: The boss hears from two sources that Hillary Clinton is considering stepping down as Secretary of State this fall in order to run for Governor of New York.

Brooklyn, New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner will marry outside the Jewish religion to Huma Abedin, a Muslim woman who is considered one of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top aides, the New York Daily News reported. The intermarriage rate in the United States is estimated to be approximately 50 percent and has been one of the strongest forces that has diluted Jewish identity and support of a strong Israel.

"US secretary of state Hillary Clinton said yesterday she will fight for gay rights abroad. Speaking prior to this month's 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, Clinton said: "The example set by those fighting for equal rights in the United States gives hope to men and women around the world who yearn for a better future for themselves and their loved ones."

Representative Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn) of New York's 9th congressional district, said banks that received funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) are already "effectively nationalized."When asked at a question-and-answer session last night at NYU Law School about whether the Obama administration's contemplation of converting preferred shares of banks obtained as part of the bailout process into common stock would amount to nationalization, Weiner said it would.Further, he reasoned, since the federal government currently exercises leverage over bank actions by dint of holding the option to convert preferred shares in banks to common stock (thereby technically gaining board representation,)...

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a sideshow to diplomacy, lamented on Saturday her fashion sense, divulged when she fell in love and shared how she dealt with personal struggles. Appearing on a popular Turkish television chat show, Hadi Gel Bizimle (Come and Join Us), Clinton tackled a few diplomatic questions but the main focus was on her personal life, such as when she "last" fell in love. "It was so long ago, with my husband," she told the studio audience, adding that she first met former President Bill Clinton in the spring of 1971 when they were at...

"Clearly this kind of activity is unhelpful and not in keeping with the obligations entered into under the 'road map'," Mrs Clinton said, referring to peace efforts between the sides. Mrs Clinton, on her first foray into Middle Eastern diplomacy since taking her new post, spoke in the West Bank town of Ramallah following a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Mrs Clinton, who drove into Ramallah under heavy guard as Palestinian police armed with assault rifles lined the road, said she would be raising the issue of the planned demolitions of some 80 homes Palestinian neighbourhood in traditionally Arab...

Traveling with her on this trip are Huma Abedin, a longtime aide who silently will hand Clinton a glass of water when her voice rasps during a briefing, "There is a hunger for the United States to be present again," Clinton told reporters as she flew to Seoul. "Showing up is not all of life -- but it counts for a lot." To a large extent, this is Clinton's new campaign -- repairing the U.S. image abroad. Her boss, President Obama, has helped ease the way simply by not being former president George W. Bush. But it is unclear whether...

Barack Obama will mark a radical break in American foreign policy this week by unveiling a team of diplomats tasked with ushering in a new era of dialogue with enemies abroad. As Hillary Clinton prepares for Senate confirmation hearings this week, she will head a group of advisers who are virtual opposites to the appointees made by President George W Bush. While Bush favoured aggressive neoconservative ideologues, Obama has selected people whose doveish credentials seem impeccable. They will be responsible for reversing the political unilateralism of the Bush years and opening direct negotiations with hostile states, potentially ranging from Syria...

The President elect, was strangely silent. SOS Condoleezza called the President-elect on Saturday about the violence in Gaza and here is what he had to say "The president-elect appreciated the call and the information from Secretary Rice," one aide said, adding that Obama initiated the eight-minute phone call. "He will continue to closely monitor these and other global events." THAT'S IT!!!??? No "Israel has a right to defend itself against the missiles but I really think there should be a cease fire". No "Hamas brought this upon itself". Not even a comment bashing terrorism or the fact that Hamas uses...

I've been a Clinton Kremlinologist for years, and although there are many armor-plated guardians of Clinton's inner circle, Huma Abedin has been the toughest to crack. No exaggeration: with Clinton heading to State, Abedin is going to be a major force in American diplomacy for the next several years. -snip- She is also a Muslim who speaks fluent Arabic --her mother runs a university in Saudi Arabia -- and brings that perspective on a complex part of the world to HRC's sphere. it's not uncommon to see Huma on Bill Clinton's important trips to the region, because he too values...

In the Mumbai bombings, the world has seen another example of how religions can conflict. The Washington Post's Craig Whitlock and Karen De Young summarized the India/Pakistan situation this way: "The roots of the long-running conflict are religious: A majority of India's population is Hindu, while most Pakistanis are Muslim." Of course, the India bombing is not the only place where religious conflict is playing itself out. In his new book, "World of Faith and Freedom," Thomas Farr, the former director of the State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom, argues that foreign policy makers cannot afford a hands-off approach...

Hillary Clinton is hiring some of her most aggressive aides to watch her back when she becomes Secretary of State, sparking concerns among allies of President-Elect Barack Obama that the primary election season's partisan aggression will carry into government. The former first lady has indicated that she wants to rebuild "Hillaryland", her coterie of controlling, defensive and at times paranoid circle of admirers and supporters at the heart of US diplomacy. Three members of Mrs Clinton's inner circle have already been told they will get top State Department jobs ... Maggie Williams, Mrs Clinton's longtime confidante, who was called in...

Rep. Anthony Weiner, a likely 2009 mayoral candidate, is pouring his heart into Hillary Clinton's White House bid - literally. Weiner, whose district includes parts of Queens and Brooklyn, finally 'fessed that he is romancing Clinton's glamorous "body woman," Huma Abedin. Asked by The Associated Press about all the time he's spending on the road campaigning for Clinton, the 43-year-old bachelor said, "It's largely because I'm dating Huma." The whispers have been around for months, but until yesterday Weiner ducked questions about Abedin, saying his personal life was off limits. Though she posed recently for a glamorous photo spread in...

There is no absolute certainty that Hillary will lose the nomination. Absent serious chicanery however it seems likely. That is, the hope and dream of a lifetime, the reward for decades of putting up with Bill, the penultimate female achievement, will be lost. Hillary Clinton nee Rodham, will have failed . The lying, the over billing, the sequestering , the parsing were all for naught. The quest is over. All that is left is bitter memory and the offshore corporations and bank accounts. It has been the legend since the beginning…….. The Clintons have a marriage of convenience and a...

Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign's communications director, today accused Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of committing “plagiarism” in a speech in Milwaukee on Saturday night. Wolfson made the explosive charge in an interview with Politico after suggesting as much in a conference call with reporters. On the call, Wolfson said: “Sen. Obama is running on the strength of his rhetoric and the strength of his promises and, as we have seen in the last couple of days, he’s breaking his promises and his rhetoric isn’t his own.” "When an author plagiarizes from another author there is damage done to two different...

WASHINGTON - Among Billaryland's inner circle, Maggie Williams is renowned as the ultimate Hillary loyalist, fierce and unwavering in her devotion for nearly 25 years. As the First Lady's chief of staff, her office was in the West Wing, right next to Hillary's. Her title gave away the extent of her clout: assistant to the President as well as Hillary's gatekeeper and chief enforcer. Even detractors agree with her admirers that Williams would go to the mat for Hillary. A Kansas City native, Williams, 53, was a central player in the Clinton damage-control machine during the White House years. In...

Her announcement began a historic effort that has inspired millions and brought hundreds of thousands to their feet all across this nation. I have been proud to manage this campaign,...

Bill has done little to dispel the impression that he’s itching to make a comeback. When you Google the phrase “unconstitutional third term,” you get references to a rogue’s gallery of strongman leaders — Vladimir Putin, Alberto Fujimori, Olusegun Obasanjo, Islam Karimov, Hugo Chavez — who in recent years at least have flirted with the idea of holding on to power beyond statutory limits. Now the name Bill Clinton pops up, too. It may be unfair to Hillary Clinton, but the prospect of her husband’s return to the White House has inevitably become a campaign issue, and it’s beginning to...

HUMA Abedin, the traveling aide who is rarely out of Hillary Rodham Clinton's sight, has been seen with bachelor Rep. Anthony Weiner on the campaign trail. Shortly before Clinton arrived for a fund-raiser Thursday night at the Hiro club in the Meatpacking District, Abedin was spotted going into the Maritime Hotel around the corner with Weiner. If they were trying to keep their affair a secret, you'd think they'd find someplace where political reporters wouldn't be walking by.
