Oh, how I wish I was making this up. But I am not. Yes, the DOJ cannot be bothered to prosecute what one DOJ long-term attorney, J. Christian Adams, claimed to be the “easiest case” he had ever had. He was referring to the voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia. Those [...]

The tense relationship between Pakistan and the United States has often been described as a bad marriage. Like a couple teetering on divorce but frozen in mutually dependent inertia, the U.S. wants one thing while Pakistan wants another, at least most of the time. This love-hate relationship long precedes the September 11th attacks. The last [...]

Salmaan Taseer is dead. He’s neither the first politician, first liberal, the first outspoken bullish pugnacious politician who was killed. Nor is he last. There were many, there will be more. He was the sitting governor of Pakistan’s biggest province and was assassinated by his own bodyguard. Does Pakistan suffer today because of his death? [...]

The Islamabad station chief of the Central Intelligence Agency hastily departed from Pakistan last week after his cover was blown due to a suspected deliberate leak by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence. This act is the latest evidence of the tense relationship between the two spy agencies. It is believed that his cover was blown in retaliation [...]

There is much in the news about our current economic crisis right now, the mosque Imam Rauf wants to build near Ground Zero (on purpose), and Obama’s 274th vacation (okay, not really, but it seems like it). But I’m not talking about any of that. Nope, I have some interesting little news tidbits for you. [...]

/ Bumped up / Well, this came as a bit of a surprise, a pleasant one at that. You will recall that Rep. Maxine Waters had inserted a provision into the Financial Reform Bill creating quotas for women and minorities for financial institutions. But not so fast says the US Commission on Civil Rights, as [...]

That’s what SC State Senator Robert Ford is claiming is the reason for his recent loss to Vincent Sheheen to be the Democratic candidate for Governor. If you can stand any more about our, um, interesting politicians in South Carolina, in this eyebrow raising article, Ford lays it all out Ford Admits To Being Bitter; [...]

You may recall that during the 2008 Election, three New Black Panthers were arrested for voter intimidation in Philadelphia. Below is a recap of the situation at the time:

Some readers of this blog took exception to my post titled “Fear Itself,” which was published on April 6. I’d like to address the objections. Protest is the American way. The health care bill, a massive piece of legislation, had many elements which some could find objectionable. Mandates are worrying, as is the fear that [...]

What sales tactic is the most persuasive? Which emotion, when exploited, motivates human beings to reach for their wallets – or their guns? The answer, of course, is fear. And fear, when stoked by demagogues and poured over a volatile flammable mass only needs one match to create a frightful conflagration. Witness the American “Tea [...]

At least according to my representative, Jim Clyburn. Let me just say that this is not at ALL what I had planned to write about this morning. I was going to write about the Senate Finance Committee voting on a bill that hasn’t even been written out yet, more a theoretical bill, if you will [...]

At the Netroot Nations ’09 meeting recently, there was an interaction between President Bill Clinton and a member of the audience. During Clinton’s speech, this man stood up to ask him some questions. I mean in the middle of Clinton’s speech. Major H/T to my NQ fellow writer, pm317 for the following video. Check out [...]

(bumped up from Thursday morning) Yesterday I was appalled to watch the Speaker of the House comment on Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ assertion that the anger at these town halls over health care reform is “manufactured”. The reporter asked, “Do you think there is legitimate grassroots opposition going on out there?” Nancy Pelosi made the [...]

The only reason I’m writing this story about gays in the military instead of the true expert, Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy, who’s hammered President Obama for not carrying through with his campaign promises to revoke “don’t ask don’t tell” — is that I happened to catch a segment on upcoming Armed Services hearing to end [...]

Are extremists infiltrating our own military to the point of inadvertently training terrorists who will attack us in the future? It turns out that at least 40 persons who list their occupation as “military” are profiled on the Internet forum New Saxon, a Facebook-like site operated by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement. Is this a [...]
