Osama Bin Laden lived in peace and completely unfettered there for a decade. Our helicopter that got shot down going after Bin Laden was given access to the Chinese. They have terrorists a few hours from Islamabad. They sometimes like us, they sometimes don’t. And, they have nukes. We are currently on target to give [...]

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 [...]

Over the weekend we almost had a car bomb go off in Manhatten. They immediately arrested a Pakistani trying to book a flight to Pakistan. President Obama praised the work of the police in capturing the inept car bomber wannabe. In Arizona a deputy was shot by a Mexican drug dealer. President Obama is worried [...]

Iran is one of the most notoriously bigoted countries on the planet. Just this week the whole world hada chuckle at how stupid they can be. A cleric decided women were the cause of earthquakes. They’re so sexist women pretty much have to cover themselves head to toe when in public. The Dark Ages have [...]

Eric Holder was quite proud of himself yesterday. Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist attack on New York City. This according to Holder, was proof that his decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City was justified. Now, there are some differences between the two that Holder apparently doesn’t consider important [...]

All I’ve heard since last week was how the woefully underfunded Cash for Clunkers program needed another $2 billion to keep it going. This had to be done RIGHT NOW since it was such a wildly successful program. I heard more than one analyst tell me it was a key cog to kicking the economy [...]

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 [...]

News is coming in that the Swat and Buner provinces of Pakistan have fallen under the control of the Taliban. It doesn’t seem to be getting much airplay tho. Let me see if this makes things a little more urgent: The blue areas are where the Taliban were. The red area is where they [...]

Lashkar-e-Taiba sells itself as “The Army of the Good”. Using that moniker, they advocate fundamentalist Islam rule. Azam Amir Kasab is apparently a member of “The Army of the Good”. Now, this is how the “The Army of the Good” spreads its word for the “Religion of Peace”: It’s kinda blurry, but that’s a [...]

Scott Ott has been one of my favorite authors for quite some time. Here is yet another reason why: …..Sen. Obama, a man who aspires to be our commander in chief, tells us that a nation called Afghanistan is where this threat dwells. Yet, he says, it does not dwell in Iraq. He tells us [...]
