Major Nidal Malik Hassan short circuited yesterday and we had more American soliders killed in one day at Fort Hood than have been killed in Afghanistan in a single day this year. So much for the dangers of combat. Hassan is not a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [...]

Wanted to comment on the news out of Fort Hood that a muslim U.S. Army officer, Major Malik Nadal Hassan, and perhaps two others, went on a shooting rampage today and killed 11 soldiers and one civilian police officer. This is not the first time a muslim in the U.S. military has turned his [...]

Last night’s election results mean one thing–tell em’ BB.
No amount of moonwalking by the Obama team can alter the results.

You tell me. Listen to Nancy Pelosi’s delusional spin.
Then check this out.

Since tonight is a bad night if you are Barack Obama (the candidates he stumped for in Virginia and New Jersey are getting an ass kicking), I though it appropriate to share with you some good news about Barack Obama that you may find surprising. Barack’s kicking some major ass on the counter terrorism [...]

Although I compared Obama’s treatment of Afghanistan’s President Karzai today with that meted out to Vietnam’s Diem back in the early sixties, I do not mean to suggest that Afghanistan is just another misadventure like Vietnam. That is utter nonsense.
Here is Theodore Sorenson’s misreading of the current situation.

Pity poor old Dick Cheney. He barely knows who he is. Mind is slipping for sure. Latest evidence that he is living in the land of delusion is his insistence that the Bush Administration was on top of the Afghanistan problem because they undertook a review in the fall of 2008. [...]

If you want a preview of coming events for Afghanistan I suggest you look to the past and the murder of South Vietnam’s President, Ngo Dinh Diem, in a U.S. backed coup:
On orders from U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Henry Cabot Lodge, the American ambassador to South Vietnam, refused to meet with Diệm. Upon hearing [...]

Running a kick ass presidential campaign is not the same as being President, especially when it comes to being Commander-in-Chief. The inexperienced clown now installed in the White House would be a legitimate butt of jokes were it not for the fact that our soldiers are dying in part because [...]

Republicans chafing over Obama’s continued finger pointing at the failings of the Bush Administration need to look in the mirror and check their own glass house. Why? Because 9-11 happened because of Bill Clinton.
Now I do not believe that. But when you try to discuss the failures of [...]

The New York Times is pilloried frequently as a tool or cheerleader for the Obama administration. Some of the criticism is richly deserved. But if you want a glint of what the NY Times used to be you should sit down and read David Rhodes account of his captivity in Afghanistan. Rhodes [...]

Potential good news on the Hill today–Congress is going to withdraw the insurance industries’ monopoly status and anti-competitive business practice. I am a strong free market advocate. I love genuine capitalism. It ultimately will make people and society better. Unfortunately, we do not live in a “capitalist” system. We live [...]

Talk about back to the future. Here I thought we were looking at a repeat of the lousy Presidency of James Earl Carter and Barack Obama goes ahead and starts emulating Tricky Dick Nixon. Let’s give Obama his due–he’s a better talker (as long as TOTUS is working) than Nixon and he certainly [...]

Last night’s arrest of a U.S. citizen who thought he was spying for Israel is going to unleash a fascinating dynamic. The Washington Post reported this morning:
Stewart D. Nozette, 52, was arrested on a charge of attempted espionage and is being held pending an initial appearance Tuesday in U.S. District [...]

The decision is made, but not announced. We are turning Afghanistan over to the Taliban. Check out what Rahm Emmanuel said today:
Do you think this was just Rahm pontificating on his own?

I am an equal opportunity critic of the media. I have appeared on all the major cable news networks and most of their programs over the years. I am one of the featured interviewees in Robert Greenwald’s, Outfoxed. Too bad Robert won’t do a similar piece of work on [...]

So you are in a bar. Lights are low. You’ve been over served with an adult beverage. The music is seductive and a good looking lady sidles up and makes you an offer you cannot refuse.
But she’s not just any lady. It is Marilyn Monroe (the 28 year old [...]

(Editor: Bumped up from Monday afternoon — this is a very thoughtful piece on the common-sense economics missing from Congress’s mish-mash of health care plans and countless amendments. You can also check out the comments in the original printing.)

“Harbor’s” piece, Why Obama Will Increase Your Health Care Costs, is an excellent springboard for explaining some very simple concepts that seem to have escaped most pundits.
We are talking simple truths about supply and demand. Let’s say your town only has one apple orchard and there are no apples brought in from outside the [...]

Sorry, but is the gay community really this stupid? How in God’s name do they applaud this clown and his “promises:”
“I will end ‘don’t ask-don’t tell,’” Obama said to a standing ovation from the crowd of about 3,000 at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay [...]
