Afghanistan this week plans to ask during President Hamid Karzai’s Washington visit for more U.S. assistance to be channeled directly to government coffers, the country’s top finance official said. OK, I’ve been patient enough with this.  Afghanistan is a country that attacked us, then provoked us, then crumbled when we reciprocated.  We don’t owe them [...]

Right as Obama is gearing up for another round of stimulus funding, Germany’s Angela Merkel blindsided him some of the craziest advice Obama’s probably heard since the last Tea Party rally: “It’s urgently necessary for monetary stability that public budgets return to balance,” German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said at a press conference Monday, according [...]

Here’s how to do it real quick.  Apparently they’ve found an estimated one trillion dollars of minerals in Afghanistan.  Let’s do some quick math with that.  According to sources there are approximately 25 million people in Afghanistan.  That comes out to about $42,000 a person.  That doesn’t sound too hot.  But, take into consideration the [...]

TMZ.COM is running a very peculiar picture: In case it’s not too clear, that’s SUPPOSEDLY John F. Kennedy chillaxin while FOUR, count em, FOUR, babes frolicking naked.  Cool huh?  Well, under some circumstances it would most definitely be.  However, SUPPOSEDLY, at this time, his wife was in the hospital struggling to deliver a still-born baby.  [...]

General McChrystal, Obama’s Afghanistan czar, requested 40,000 troops a few months ago.  Obama hemmed and hawed, and decided he’d let McChrystal have 30,000 troops if he promised to surrender and withdraw sometime in July 2011. Now, with confidence, McChrystal asserted: But he said, “I will always provide my best military advice” and if conditions warrant, [...]

Sensing a bit hesitation in President Obama’s support, Hamid Karzai promised reforms the world can believe it.  Among those reforms: “We want our Taliban brothers and all others to come back and join with us,” he added. Last I recall, the entire point of going into Afghanistan was to remove those who supported Osama Bin [...]

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]

It’s telling me that the policies of Jamie Gorelick and Bill Clinton/Janet Reno are back. That was my opinion January 5 of this year when Obama put Leon Panetta in charge of the Central Intelligence Agency.  As of now, the Central Intelligence Agency will not be allowed to glean intelligence from war prisoners.  The Federal [...]

I love Snopes.com.  No telling what you’ll find there.  Humor, movies, sports, paranormal, extra-terrestrial, politics, you name it, it’s there.  One of today’s stories involve an opinion piece written by Charley Reese in 1985. Politicians, as I have often said, are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. [...]

On August 1, 2007, Obama posted on his site a long list of what he would do as President. Part of that included: …..This brings me to the fourth step in my strategy: I will make clear that the days of compromising our values are over. Major General Paul Eaton had a long and distinguished [...]
