Friday, John Phillips of the LA Times ruminated on the method by which New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be “courted” and drafted to run for President in 2012. Christie has stated repeatedly that he is not ready for the office, will not be induced to enter the race and is committed to fulfilling his [...]

Update below the fold. President Obama made quite the speech today on the Middle East, including Israel, our ally, right before Prime Minister Netanyahu visits. And oh, what an, um, interesting speech it was. If you have the time, inclination, and intestinal fortitude to watch Obama deliver it, and I warn you, he does go [...]

Learning that Jonathan Alter (nee of Newsweek) had written a “glowing” article about Secretary Hillary Clinton for Vanity Fair entitled Woman of the World, I became suspicious. This was, after all, one of the media bullies who demanded Hillary drop out of the 2008 race for the presidential nomination in mid February to preserve her [...]

“The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a [...]

I never thought I would see the day that ex-Governor Sarah Palin, WSJ’s Peggy Noonan, and WaPo’s Eugene Robinson* would agree on anything. Hell must have frozen over. Their unlikely agreement came as all three insisted it would have been better for the White House to release the post-mortem photos of Osama bin Laden, rather [...]

Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

Update below the fold. I had another post all ready to go this morning of Lara Logan’s interview on “60 Minutes,” but that can keep until tomorrow. Today, the big news, as President Obama announced late last night, Osama bin Laden has been killed. The reports have been a bit conflicting on just how he [...]

Better late than never? I think not, baby puppy. It is April, 2011 and ex-Wisconsin Senator and favorite principled liberal Russ Feingold finally noticed a conflict of interest with having GE’s CEO Jeffrey Immelt as head of the President’s advisory council on job creation. Ya think? According to CBS and The Hill: Former Sen. Russ [...]

* Bumped Up * Did you guess the Muslim Brotherhood? If so, you would have been right. Yes, CNN had this report, Energized Muslim Brotherhood in Libya Eyes A Prize. Oh, great. Well that’s just jake. And this is no joke. It is far, far from funny. It has been a plan long in the [...]

I suppose that can be taken a number of different ways considering all that is going on in the world with Japan fighting desperately to deal with after-effects of the massive earthquake(s) and tsunami there*, Libya bombing its own people, gasoline prices skyrocketing which makes food prices skyrocket, and on and on… But for the [...]

(March 10, 2011 – Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images North America) The above photograph was taken at the Diller-von Furstenberg 2nd Annual Awards, as Chelsea presented her mother, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with the first Inspiration Award. Some of the most poignant moments for me of the 2008 Campaign were to see Chelsea Clinton [...]

In a scathing review of Tina Brown’s re-launch of Newsweek, Slate’s editor-at-large Jack Shafer betrayed himself as another in a long list of journalists and pundits who find women bring little of use to the table. While I have had reason to fault Newsweek in the past for their biased coverage negating qualified female political [...]

Recently, faithful NQ Reader, Cindy, asked that I reprint this post from last year. Since it is Women’s History Month, this seems like an appropriate time to do so. I have not seen recent poll numbers for Secretary Clinton, but other than that, the numbers remain in the same ballpark, sadly. One day, I hope [...]

Particularly, about the Taliban in Afghanistan and how it treats women. Now, I realize this might just seem like an “out of the clear blue sky” kinda thing, but trust me when I tell you it is not. (Photo by Steve Evans) First, I should say that before the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, [...]
