Hiroshima Again.
At Tokyo, the peculiar bow by POTUS to the diminutive Japanese Emperor Akhitio elicited predictable media chit-chat on the Monday following the event, including this anchor inquiry from MSNBC, “Why was this considered by some a gaffe?”
The answer is less significant to me than the speculation that the POTUS conduct may be [...]

Torture Debate.
The Obama administration decision just announced to transfer 9-11 Devil KSM to New York to stand trial for mass murder in a Federal court looks to be laden with risks. The Justice Department states that it will seek the death penalty. Right away, how does KSM get [...]

Reprinted from the blog for my syndicated radio show.
Russian Defeat.
The facts of the end of the Cold War support the short and astonishing version that Ronald Reagan’s imagination and style won out over American and Allied doubt and the sadistic and stupid Soviet empire. I learned from Martin and Annalise Anderson, Hoover, that [...]

23rd NY Disaster.
John Bussey, WSJ, reports that the Republicans are showing energy on fund-raising in the latest report by the party. The Democrats remain ahead overall, more in the bank, but there is clearly a burst of giving to the GOP. Why?
A possible explanation is the Obama [...]
Public Option Turkey »

218 Votes Needed.
Nancy Pelosi’s remarks this news cycle on the healthcare package do not convey confidence on the date, the content, the votes. Mostly she floats the idea that she can get the vote done by Turkey Day. Smile. Mrs. Pelosi is a fidgety and slightly manic communicator, so it is [...]

Rahm Doesn’t Know a Thing About Why Conservatives Oppose Obama.

Script.
George Mitchell’s mission to Damascus is part of the script by the White House Politburo to construct an appeasement to Tehran.

Basiji Weary.
Simple, sad, compelling video, a minute of sorrow far away in a graveyard in southern Tehran, where the body of a young woman was hidden from the world by the usurper Ahmadinejad and his goons, who murdered her and covered up the crime.

Best Tehran resistance source sends me to this new clip on Youtube from the resistance.
There are many groups in rebellion against the urusper Ahmadinejad, and no one group has the lead on media, leaks, tactics, massage. Tehran does more and more resemble Paris 1968, which I saw at first and used [...]

Humbuggery Skullduggery.
Far back in May, the question was why does the White House bloviate on an August 6 deadline for healthcare? Why push the Senate to do what it cannot do, which is to go fast when a minority rules? Why push the House to do what it cannot do, which is [...]

Out with the Old.
POTUS in New Jersey on a steamy day with Governor Jon Corzine, making a boilerplate speech that is heavy on blaming the old ways and crushingly heavier on the radiant future of clean energy and clean jobs and clean healthcare and clean education and clean financial regulations. The speech lacks [...]

SWAG.
Bill Roggio, Long War Journal, embeds this wondrously pretentious video from South Waziristan in Bill’s rich resource of Long War Journal, showing the Jihad lads chanting and churning in the summer dust, with live-fire demonstrations of their prowess fighting the Martians or whoever else shows up.
