Nancy Pelosi wants Europe’s missile defense moved to San Francisco

September 18th, 2009 | No Comments

The last couple of days have pretty well illustrated the Obama/Pelosi administration’s stance on national defense.  Obama promised the voters he’d be firm on national defense, and he is.  In almost simultaneous moves, Obama has expressed concern about Iran developing nuclear weapons: Obama is so concerned about the threat of Iran’s nuclear weapons program he [...]

Energy policy and campaign promises

July 29th, 2009 | No Comments

While running for President, Obama promised pretty much everything to everyone.  In Ohio, he promised to support loan guarantees for uranium enrichment.  A cornerstone for the US to ween itself from oil and coal.  The promise was convincing, it made logic.  It would not only assist in the pursuit of cleaner energy, it would create jobs [...]

What would the UN do?

April 10th, 2009 | 1 Comment

We have a few international issues going on right now.  North Korea basically ignoring everyone and launching yet another missile/rocket, Iran developing nukes/nuclear power, Somalia hosting pirates attacking everyone, Israel and Palestinians going at it, and the ongoing genocides in Africa. Pretty serious stuff all over the place.  Per top respected sources, I have been [...]

57% want to attack North Korea

April 6th, 2009 | No Comments

That’s according to Rasmussen: Fifty-seven percent (57%) of U.S. voters nationwide favor a military response to eliminate North Korea’s missile launching capability. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 15% of voters oppose a military response while 28% are not sure. Now to me, this is where it gets real fun: Just [...]

North Korea taunts Obama some more

April 6th, 2009 | 3 Comments

The events of this weekend seem almost comical to me.  Obama had this volley: Barack Obama yesterday announced a radical drive aimed at ridding the world of nuclear weapons, as the focus of his European visit switched from financial to geopolitical security. “In Prague, I will lay out an agenda to seek the goal of a world [...]

Star Wars is dead

At least for now. WASHINGTON – U.S. President Barack Obama’s recent pledge to seek a ban on space weapons drew a mixed reaction from experts in the field, with some saying the president might be better off pursuing something more modest and less complex, such as a set of international rules governing space operations. The [...]

Profiling

Got this via email, I’ve sort of touched on this in the past.  No need “Scoping” it, I’ve left off the part that goes over the top: In the event you’ve missed this – worse forgotten it, a gentle reminder!! A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality That they imagine that America [...]

Those pesky swarming Iranian boats

January 9th, 2008 | No Comments

A lot is being made of the Straight of Hormuz incident between the US and Iran a few days ago.  The US claims it was harassed and provoked, the Iranians said originally it never happened.  You be the judge, here IS the incident as provided by The Pentagon: Now that the whole world can see [...]

Rafsanjani, Hitler, and Ann Coulter?

October 12th, 2007 | 2 Comments

You know you’re in a bad way when Google’s context sensitive advertising does this: Now, ya just gotta wonder why “Ann Coulter” would even come up in an article that never mentions her.  More politics by Google?  Or, is Ann’s name now so synonomous with “Jew” that Google’s engine just can’t help it? Honestly, I would [...]

Why I’ll never run for national office

Or probably any office for that matter.  Check this out: At the event in North Hampton, Iowa, a questioner took issue with Clinton’s recent Senate vote calling on President Bush to formally call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. He argued that such a distinction confers the president with the ability to invade the [...]
