During the Vice-President Debate held in Danville, KY last week, Joe Biden claimed, rather emphatically, that since Iran had no way of delivering a nuclear device, their nuclear program was not an immediate threat. If that’s the case, then you have to wonder what Victoria Nuland is talking about: In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria [...]

This is indicative of the complete chaos coming out of the Obama administration at this time.  And, given liberal philosophy, it won’t stop. The Obama Department of Labor just spent your money to put together an advertising campaign letting illegal workers know they have rights to minimum wage standards.  In Spanish. They don’t have one [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

As governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano was notoriously lax on immigration.  This included vetoing a LOT of bills designed to stem the flow of illegal immigrants.  When she was picked as Director for the Department of Homeland Security, a lot of people questioned Obama’s intentions regarding enforcing our borders.  Now, we have a definitive answer: [...]

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 [...]

Here we go.  The members of the US Senate class of 2008 haven’t even been fully seated and we are already sepculating on 2010.  CNN has already decided the Republicans are in trouble in 2010 simply because, get this, they had trouble in 2006 and 2008.  Logical huh?  Wikipedia references something called the Cook Political Report [...]

People voted for “change” without ever really considering what the “change” was about.  Today we got a few examples. Bill Richardson, under investigation for pay to play politics ( read taking bribes ), was nevertheless nominated to a cabinet position under Obama’s “change”.  He withdrew his nomination today.  There’s no change when it comes to [...]

Been reading that Obama is planning on naming Leon Panetta head of the CIA. A while back I did a series of posts on basically what happened when the security of the United States was wonked to death by people more interested in internal policies than doing what was necessary to protect us.  Basically, the [...]

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 [...]
