There are any number of intense stories out and about today, unusual for a weekend that so much is coming to light. Unfortunately, many of them are not good. For instance, there’s the story about the 85 year old grandmother who claims she was strip searched by the TSA. Now, many of you know that [...]

‘Tis the night before Thanksgiving, and no doubt, people are busy preparing for tomorrow, whether it be traveling or cooking or making plans to watch the big game, Thanksgiving is a big day, and well it should be. It is always good to take a step back, and count our blessings, large and small. That [...]

~Bumped up~ That are going to make my head explode. First, news that the ten executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are still operating in the red, and which are largely to blame for the housing crisis, got BONUSES. And I am not talking little bonuses, either. Those ten mo-fos got = and [...]

Sadly, so it would appear. You may recall a story from back in February of this year regarding two ICE agents attacked in a brutal assault down in Mexico. One agent was injured, the other, Jaime Zapata, was killed. Now it appears that Agent Zapato was killed as a result of a weapon from the [...]

Dear Mr. President. I hear the troops are coming back from Iraq at the end of this year, under the George Bush agreement with their government. I hope the situation does not change and I hope our current president does not have to break that promise to them, based on the facts in the field. [...]

Update below the fold. In the midst of commemorations for 9/11/01, a day on which we remembered those who were killed, and reaffirmed the commitment to keep our nation safe, the Taliban was busy in Afghanistan. Our officials were concerned about a 9/11 attack – but we thought it would be on our shores, in [...]

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 French? Well, they might, but no, that’s not who I mean. The British? Well, most likely, especially they way Obama has dissed them (like sending back the bust of Churchill, and that is the mere tip of the iceberg)? Nope. The Arab World. Yep, that’s right, even after Obama’s bowing and scraping to them, [...]

Only a year ago, the Obama administration decided to ramp up military support to the Pakistani army as part of an effort to persuade Islamabad to do more to combat militants. The new military aid, which was contingent on Congressional approval, was expected to amount to more than $2 billion over five years and would [...]

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 [...]

Update below the fold. You know, I really should stop being astonished at the news, the sheer upside-down-ness of the world in which we live. But, no – I suppose I still expect a modicum of sanity to prevail. Sadly, that expectation fell far short when I saw some of the following news stories. For [...]

It’s surprising to many that the majority of Pakistanis support the Islamists and their apologists as the saviors of their religion. But this didn’t happen overnight. The mindset of the large segment of society didn’t change with a blink of an eye. No serious attempt has been made to analyse this phenomenon even though the [...]

I just saw this headline, and had to grab this article: “MI6 attacks al-Qaeda in ‘Operation Cupcake‘; British intelligence has hacked into an al-Qaeda online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes.” Oh, my – that is freaking HILARIOUS! Here is part of the article: The cyber-warfare operation was launched by MI6 [...]

This headline caught my eye, and disgusted me, all at the same time, “Egyptian General Admits ‘Virginity Checks’ Performed On Some Protesters.” As one would deduce, the headline means WOMEN protesters. This is disturbing on so many levels, not the least of which how women continue to be treated. At first there were denials that [...]

* Bumped Up * Instead of paying for a “Teleprompter Coach” for the White House might be an actual, honest-to-goodness protocol officer. Someone who knows protocol or can at least familiarize themselves, and thus the president, before a State function in another country. Seriously. What is wrong with Obama? You may have seen his faux [...]
