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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to Sunday Times report citing informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem. They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised [...]

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 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 [...]
