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 [...]

That pesky national security issue

April 12th, 2010 | No Comments

Obama assured us that although he opposed everything Bush had done for national security for the previous eight years, he would be strong on national defense.  Now, this is how things shaped up in just one week while I was on vacation. Obama tells the world he won’t use nukes unless attacked by nukes. Al [...]

Change we can believe in – civil liberties, Gitmo, indefinite detentions

May 14th, 2009 | No Comments

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 [...]

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

The [...]

North Korea drops out of the nuclear race

July 16th, 2007 | No Comments

Buried very quietly on most media pages is what I think is one of the biggest events of the year: U.N. Nuclear Inspectors Confirm Shutdown on North Korean Reactor On Fox, this didn’t garner nearly the attention Lindsay Lohan‘s ankle bracelet or Jessica Simpson’s boobs got. Not even close. However, when history looks back at [...]

North Korea launches missiles

July 4th, 2006 | 2 Comments

North Korea fired probably four missiles today. As expected, the blog world is all over it: Expose the Left Stop The ACLU has lots of information I’m sure there’s a LOT more out there already. There’s already differing thoughts on why they did it on July 4th. Making it as obvious as possible that this [...]
